Chapter 73 is not forgiveness, it is letting go of oneself (Mihe Village)
Ember raised his eyes and crashed into those clear and cool eyes.
He didn't understand why Sang Shu could easily forgive those who had endured pain.
The sunlight outside the window was sprinkled and reflected on Rong Ash's fair and deep face, Sang Shu saw through the incomprehension in Rong Ash's eyes, and she was stunned.
"It's not forgiveness, it's letting yourself go."
Sang Shu's voice was soft, like a feather brushing the tip of her heart, stirring up a ripple, "They always say that they should be grateful for the pain and torture they have endured, because these pains have made you excellent now, but I think that pain is pain, even if it urges me to become better, I will not forgive, but I will not be kidnapped by pain forever, because it will be very tiring." ”
"I used to be very obsessed, obsessed with why my brothers suddenly didn't care about me, obsessed with why my father suddenly disliked me, obsessed with why my mother and mother suddenly left, and even obsessed with why Sang Mei hated me so much, and wanted to make me such a down-and-out appearance, but Rong Yan, do you know? When I stopped obsessing about these things and started to learn to love myself, I was not so tired. ”
"I will never persuade others to let go of hatred, nor will I forgive myself for the torture I have suffered, but this does not affect my belief in blood and justice, and it does not affect my still feeling that this world is beautiful."
Sang Shu's eyes seemed to have rippling waves, and her hands fell on Rong Yan's shoulders, "This world is inherently unfair, we can kill a fair path in our own way, but remember, we can never extinguish our conscience, and we must not forget the bottom line of being a human being." ”
After saying this, Sang Shu exhaled a breath, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she patted Rong Yan's shoulder, "I believe that you are so smart that you will be able to understand my words." ”
Rong Yan's fingertips holding the porridge bowl tightened a little, and his eyes froze.
-
Early the next morning, the group set off again and began to hurry.
The third prince's injuries were even more serious, so Sang Shu left nearly half of the guards behind to guard him.
The rest of them go with them.
The doormen around the three princes all saw the memories exposed by Sang Shu, and only two people in the group were injured, and everyone felt that the two had experienced an earth-shaking fight.
Therefore, no one dared to open their mouths to dwell on who was right and who was wrong in this matter.
Because of his injury, Sang Shu was driven into the carriage by the prince, and the rest of the people all rode on horseback.
Now that they are getting closer to the frontier, the scenery they see has changed dramatically.
At a glance, almost all of them are Gobi continuous, occasionally there will be a poplar forest, when the wind rises, the yellow sand blows the poplar leaves, the sound is unusually loud.
After walking for a few more days, Sang Shu's body basically recovered, only the scar on her chest would have a dull pain when she was involved, but other than that, it was basically fine.
Sang Shu looked at the map, and they were about to arrive at the first village to enter the desert realm.
Sang Shu of this village has a deep memory, when he and the disciples on the first floor rushed to the frontier to rush to the battlefield, they were thirsty halfway, and the people in the village gave them water, and also made a whole sheep banquet for them, looking forward to their triumphant return.
Sang Shu looked at the shadow of the village that could be faintly seen in the distance, and called Jiang Jiang in.
"In front of us is Mihe Village, how about we prepare something to give to the people in the village to thank them for the water and food at that time?"
Jiang Jiang thought about it seriously, "Girl, in fact, for them, it's better for us to give nothing than real money." ”
"Their life is hard and poor, whether we send brocade clothes and jade silk or delicacies from the mountains and seas, it is only a temporary satisfaction, it is better to give them some silver, what they need, they will buy it themselves."
Sang Shu thought about it, too, "Then you sort out the silver we brought, and share it with everyone when the time comes." ”
The emperor gave her a lot of gold and silver last time, but fortunately, Sang Shu asked Jiang Jiang to bring more at that time.
After discussing, the group walked towards Mihe Village in front.
The reason why Mihe Village is called Mihe Village is because the whole village is located next to the Mihe River, close to the river, and surrounded by tall and straight poplar trees.
After the group's carriage and horses entered Mihe Village, the smile on Sang Shu's face couldn't be contained.
She simply got out of the carriage and walked towards the village.
The crown prince and Rong Ember followed.
Seeing that Sang Shu was so happy, the prince asked, "Why do you have the same expression of going back to your mother's house?" What is it that makes you so happy? ”
Sang Shu glanced at him, and Jiang Jiang couldn't wait to briefly tell what happened to them in Mihe Village at that time.
"I see." The prince touched his chin, "Then you should really be thankful, I have a lot of expensive picture scrolls there, and I will give them all when the time comes." ”
"That's not necessary." Sang Shu interrupted the prince's action as he was about to turn around and command.
"Let's go and see the village chief's family first, and we'll make up for what they need."
As he spoke, Sang Shu quickened his pace and walked forward.
The closer they got to Mihe Village, the more strange and strange they became, and the smile in Sang Shu's eyes narrowed up little by little.
In the past, when you walked to this position, you could see the villagers fishing on the bank of the river, but why don't you see anyone today?
A strange repressed emotion flashed in Sang Shu's heart.
She raised her hand to her forehead, "Jiang Jiang, you run faster and see what the situation is in the village now." ”
"Okay."
Jiang Jiang took the lead in stepping forward to inquire about the news, while Sang Shu noticed that something was wrong in the riverbed and hurriedly rushed to the river.
When Sang Shu arrived at the river, he noticed that the river water, which was crystal clear last time, had become muddy, and even faintly revealed a strange red.
Sang Shu crouched down and stared carefully at the completely unflowing river.
"The water in this river is poisonous."
Rong Ember lowered his eyes, thought for a moment and said slowly.
"Don't touch it."
Sang Shu hurriedly took a few steps back, and she turned around and walked quickly towards the village.
How did it come to this?
The villagers all depend on the river for their livelihood, and if the water is poisonous, what will the villagers do ......!
The more she thought about it, the more solemn Sang Shu's face became.
When she ran to the entrance of the village, she saw Jiang Jiang running back in a hurry.
She ran to Sang Shu out of breath, "Girl, in the village...... Not a single living person! ”
Sang Shu narrowed her eyes, "What?" ”
"I ran to the courtyard of the village chief's house, the gate was open, and there were still several corpses lying on their backs in the yard."
The panic in Sang Shu's heart was even stronger.
How so?
How could the village be empty, and even the corpses lying on their backs?
"Let's go, go over and have a look!"
After Sang Shu finished speaking, he took the lead in running towards the village.
When she came to the courtyard and saw the scene in the courtyard clearly, her eyes were in a trance for a moment.
Obviously, the last time I came, the small courtyard that was well kept by the village chief was chaotic and full of dust, and under the trees in the courtyard, several corpses were lying horizontally, their faces were bruised and covered with bloody scabs.
