Chapter Twenty-Three: The Clouds Are Coming
Today's Rongjin City is as lively as ever, and the guest officials who come and go to this city are still doing what they should do, but the shops have no soul, and people say that emotions are contagious, resulting in a haze under the excitement in the city, which makes the big guys feel a little depressed.
Shi Wuxin is even more so, with his martial idiot temperament, he has helped Wu Tieniu into the house and has walked three times now, which is a rare situation.
Until the evening, Wu Tieniu walked out of the house on his own, and when he saw Shi Wuxin's face smiling, he was as usual before, but he always felt that he was missing some of his brilliance, and his expression needed to be framed with his heart, otherwise it would inevitably give people a pale, even Shi Wuxin, a rough person, could not help but see that he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't know what to say.
Before he could embarrass Wu Tieniu, he opened his mouth: "Wuxin, you go to the back of the house and bring the two jars of wine in the field, you don't work today, you can drink with me." β
This can be regarded as borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, Shi Wuxin thought, but is it much better than that soulless appearance, Shi Wuxin nodded and went to the back of the house to get wine, and the two sat in the small courtyard, and drank without even a plate of dried fruits.
Shi Wuxin didn't know what to say, so he had to drink one sip after another, but fortunately, Wu Tieniu spoke out first after a few sips.
"Wuxin, you say I'm useless. β
Shi Wuxin shook his head, but he briefly said what he had heard from Huang Fuming.
Wu Tieniu was stunned, as if he didn't expect Sanniang to tell outsiders about these things, then shook his head and nodded again:
"It's good to know, since I know, I don't have to hide it. β
Wu Tieniu poured himself another sip of wine before continuing with emotion: " I think I also had ambitions back then, I want to make a name for myself with this craft, even if I can't mix up a master master, I also want the cultivator to see me and respect a master, after Sanniang got married, I finally made up my mind to go out, in the past few years, with the two blood refining weapons out of the oven to really have a little fame, but I am not the person who does big things, I always think about Sanniang, always think that if I can stay by Sanniang's side to live a small life, what is not a master is not very important. β
After saying a few words, he took a few sips of strong wine, this wine is drunk and sad, Wu Tieniu's previous alcohol consumption was also excessive, but today he is a little drunk.
"I know that Sanniang is married, but I want to come back to see, I haven't seen it for a few years, and I can't help but come back like this, Sanniang is seeing, but seeing Sanniang and her husband are so hot, I will die, thinking that this time I will never go back. β
"But I never thought that the group of dog thieves trapped everyone in the city, Sanniang's father-in-law is gone, I want to avenge Sanniang, they threaten Sanniang's life, I can't take revenge, I have to let Sanniang live better, but every month my money is not enough, and I need Sanniang's help, I always feel that I have the ability to do it when I am young, but nowγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»..."
It's hard to say what kind of sentence is now, Wu Tieniu can't say it clearly, or he can't bear to say it, so he can only pour a few more sips of wine, but he is even more drunk.
"I can't do anything, I can't even fight hard, then I think I can endure anything for Sanniang's life, so I endure it until now, it's ridiculous that it's such a result, I'm proud of casting, but now even my arms are almost wastedγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
At this time, the swarthy man didn't seem to realize that his face was full of tears, but he continued to pour wine, the liquor flowed down his jaw, some were wine, some were tears, and he didn't want to say what he wanted to say to Shi Wuxin, Wu Tieniu walked into the house with the wine jar in his hand, but kept repeating a sentence: "What's the use!!What's the use!!"
Shi Wuxin didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, or he didn't need to speak, he could understand Wu Tieniu's suffering, although he didn't know what happened today, he could still understand Wu Tieniu's helplessness and unwillingness, as well as that deep hatred, so he just watched his lonely back enter the house, and then he also got up and ran to the casting room, muttering in a low voice:
"I've got to work harder, I'll be able to shoot this knife tomorrow. β
Sanniang never went out of the house after Zhou Huai left, and he didn't eat dinner until the restaurant closed at night, and Shaobai and the two returned to the firewood room and didn't see Sanniang appear.
Early the next morning, Ye Shaobai just entered the restaurant and saw Sanniang standing behind the counter, and greeted him with a smile when he came in.
It's a strange day, there is an errand to deliver food early in the morning, and it was white-collared by the night, and on the way back, it happened to pass the back door of Yihong Courtyard, this alley is not wide, and it allows a carriage to walk with a slight surplus, and there is also a carriage parked in front, but the things on this car are not very auspicious, it is a coffin.
Ye Shaobai didn't know what auspiciousness was, but he knew that the coffin was used to hold the dead, so he squinted his eyes and glanced at the Yihong Courtyard, but this glance was like a slap in the face, and he didn't turn his head for a long time.
The girls of Yihong Courtyard are standing on both sides of the stone road in the backyard, some are holding handkerchiefs, and some are using sleeve robes, all of them are wiping their tears, and the people in the two buildings are carrying a corpse and are walking towards the back door, the corpse is very light, and it can be seen from the posture that the lower people don't need to bend their waists, until the two of them want to put the corpse into the coffin, the corpse's face is revealed, and it is also at this time that Ye Shaobai raised his eyes and looked over.
Although he has only seen two sides, and once he is still covered with scars, the girl that Ye Shaobai still remembers, the young girl who lives in the Qinglou but is no different from an ordinary little girl, until Xiao Taohong's body is put into the coffin, the louder the girls' cries, and Ye Shaobai struggles to raise his feet and continue to move forward.
The girls' cries were very chaotic, and Ye Shaobai's heart was also very chaotic, why did she die? Is it Yang Yu? Or because of all the weirdness of the families yesterday, he has questions, but he won't ask those girls, Sanniang can't ask there, and he can't ask here, so his heart is even more chaotic.
He wanted to kill Yang Yu first without asking the reason to calm down, but reason told him that this was very wrong, not to mention whether Yang Yu was wronged, if this little peach was killed because of his previous actions, he would only hurt more people if he shot again.
Kill Zhou Huai and the others?If it was so good to kill him, he would have killed him a long time ago, Ye Shaobai had weighed it many times in his heart, and his chances of winning were very low, and this was still the result of having already counted Shi Wuxin into it.
The heart is unhappy but can only be forcibly endured, this should be a unique human pain Ye Shaobai now tasted it, he naturally didn't know that this pain would continue to accompany him as long as he was alive, and now he only felt that he didn't like this feeling very much.
Back to the restaurant everything as usual, fortunately, Ye Shaobai was silent, and no one could see that he had something on his mind, Sanniang was a little absent-minded, and naturally he couldn't see it, Huang Fuming didn't practice today, I thought it was boring to practice, and I needed to go to the street to dissipate my mood, so I ran out early in the morning, and I didn't go back to the restaurant angrily until it was nearly noon, and when I got to the second floor, I sat down, patted the table and said:
"It's too much. β
Ye Shaobai didn't pay attention to him because of something in his heart, and Huang Fuming didn't call him, but just patted the table from time to time and repeated the sentence "It's too much".
When the fifth shot was taken, Ye Shaobai looked at him helplessly and said, "Say it."
Huang Fuming didn't take a stand either, and his mouth was still the same sentence "It's too much" before he said:
"There is really no royal law in broad daylight, just when I watched the scene on the street to comfort my mood, I was strolling, but when I walked to the pawnshop, I saw a group of people watching something, so I pushed aside the crowd and went inside, but saw the shopkeeper sitting on the ground in the front hall of the pawnshop crying, holding a petite girl in his arms. β
"When I got closer, I saw that the girl's fingers seemed to be cut off by some sharp weapon, I saw that his lips were pale, his body was shaking in pain, and his heart was full of regret, so he stepped forward to ask the shopkeeper why, but the shopkeeper just scolded the "dog thief" or something, and ignored me completely, until Langzhong came, and I only returned after a few people entered the back room, and I came back to talk about this γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» brother."
Huang Fuming couldn't say anything about the latter words, but because of this, Ye Shaobai's face had already changed greatly and stood up, the two had known each other for many days, and Huang Fuming had never seen Ye Shaobai have such a humane expression, this kind of expression we usually call it anger.
