Chapter Seventy-One: Life is like a play, and then go to the clouds and rain
Ma Shi walked briskly down the street, carrying a round package behind him.
Outside the remote city is full of depression, and in the distance a lonely low earthen house is sandwiched between two stone recesses.
When he got closer, he saw an old woman sitting at the door of the house, her eyes slightly closed, but her hands were threading needles and threads with swift movements.
He hurriedly ran, his moccasins raising a speck of mud on the muddy dirt road.
Pushing open the simple fence door, Ma Zhi looked at the shabby thin shirt on her body that did not match the snow, and said distressedly: "Mother, why did you run out again?" ”
Hearing the voice, the old woman looked over, and the deep wrinkles on her face piled up into an earthy smile.
"The sun came out, and there was no cold wind, so I came out to dry and sew my clothes by the way."
Ma Zhi walked in quickly, opened the package, and pulled out a poorly made but very thick animal skin coat, which was still a little hard when pinched.
Turned his head and came behind the old lady: "Mother, stop, my son will dress you in a dress." ”
The old lady was stunned, and Ma Zhi had already helped her put on one sleeve.
Feeling the warmth, the old woman was shocked: "Son, aren't you spending money indiscriminately?" ”
Ma Zhi said while dressing her: "No, mother, I thought about it today, and I still think that I should buy some thick clothes, winter has just arrived, otherwise it will be too difficult at night, and this thick animal skin clothes, we can wear them every autumn and winter in the future, and we can rely on it to keep out the cold at night all year round, which is not a waste." ”
Having said that, the old lady was distressed.
"Ouch! Why are you buying me this? Stop, I don't wear it, I'm an old blind man, I don't need to go out when I stay at home, this one is left for you and my brother to wear! ”
"No, I bought it for him."
"You ......"
"Mother, don't feel distressed, I just found someone, and they will come to repair the house tomorrow. After that, I still have money left, and I'm going to make a small living, but it's not enough to just be a guide, and I don't know when there will be customers. Besides, my younger brother has been in the city lord's mansion for almost a year, and his salary will rise sharply after that. Our days will only get better and better, and they will not get worse than now! ”
The old lady was silent, but there were tears in her eyes.
After dressing her, Ma Zhi smiled: "Mother, is it warm?" ”
The old woman nodded again and again: "Warm, very warm!" ”
At dusk, the horse returned, carrying grain on one shoulder and a burden full of rags on the other.
Ma Zhi called out in surprise: "Pony? ”
Ma Tu lowered his head slightly, his long hair covered his face, and his tone was low: "The city lord has something to do, and the housekeeper let us all go home." ”
Ma Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, he still thought that his younger brother had run back or been dismissed.
"Go home, put your things down and rest for a while, and eat right away."
Ma Tu entered the door silently.
During the meal, when Ma Tu looked up by chance, he was seen by Ma Zhi's face, Ma Zhi wanted to ask, but he was afraid of the old lady next to him, so he temporarily shut up.
After dinner, he pulled his horse out of the house.
"Pony, why is your face so white? Sick? Ma Zhi asked with concern as he reached out and put his hand on his brother's forehead.
Ma Tu didn't have time to get out of the way, his body couldn't help but stiffen, and then he shook his head and said, "I'm fine." ”
"It's not hot, but it's a little cold, it's not freezing, right? Let's go, go in and put on the animal skin clothes, our brothers also have a thick quilt tonight, and we will definitely be able to sleep warmly and peacefully. ”
Ma Tu snorted, frowning slightly.
……
The hot air in the tub fills the room, and the room is warm like spring.
Wang Li leaned back slightly, staring at a huge and clear "screen" in front of him.
In the screen is a house, and Shu Yao sits in the room.
This Shushan Sword Cultivator of the Yuan God Realm had his eyebrows tightly locked at this moment, his eyes were sharp, and he unceremoniously reprimanded the old man kneeling in front of him.
The Fuliu Dao people, whose beards were all white, grabbed the ground with their heads at this moment, trembling, and they didn't see the appearance of the previous Dao bones fairy wind and floating out of the dust.
"Did I tell you that at any time, whenever a monk enters Anping City, he must report to me immediately?"
Fuliu Daoren raised his head and knocked down heavily: "Master, the disciple knows his mistake!" ”
"Wrongdoing? What's the use of telling me now that you're wrong! All the entrances to the city gates are arranged, and even your White Tiger Temple, you can't do the little thing of supervising whether there are monks entering the city! I see that your White Tiger Temple is full of garbage! ”
"The master forgives the sin, and the disciple will strictly investigate the ...... when he returns"
When Shu Yao heard this, he couldn't help but kick on the shoulder of the Fuliu Daoist, and immediately kicked it and rolled it over and over, and his arm was suddenly broken, only to sag loosely.
Shu Yao pointed at him and scolded: "You are also a waste!" I explained this matter to you, and did you forget it after you explained it to others? ”
Fuliu Daoist hurriedly knelt down again: "It's all the disciple's fault, and please ask the master to calm his anger." ”
"If I hadn't been angry for most of the day, your head would have fallen into the White Tiger Observatory! I'll tell you, if it weren't for that kid's ......" Shu Yao was stunned, and after a violent change in his complexion, he snorted heavily: "If something happens, I guarantee that it will be difficult for you to die!" ”
The Fuliu Dao people kept kowtowing, and the ground was soon stained with blood.
After a while, Shu Yao sat down and said angrily, "Okay!" Don't die at a young age! ”
Fuliu Daoren stopped, and when he looked up, his face was bright red, his white hair was veneered, and he was embarrassed.
Seeing this, Shu Yao frowned again.
"After you go back, scatter all the people of the White Tiger Temple, I don't care what others say, anyway, we must make sure that there are no problems, otherwise it will not be me who will trouble them, but Shushan!"
The old body of Fuliu Daoist trembled suddenly, and he immediately responded: "Disciple obeys!" ”
"Get out!"
"Yes!" Fuliu Daoren got up and walked away quickly.
Shu Yao sat still, his expression extremely serious.
Inside the restaurant.
Wang Li was not surprised by Shu Yao's performance and words, on the contrary, what he saw now was more in line with his psychological perception of Shu Yao at the beginning.
In any case, Shu Yao is also a sword cultivator in the fourth realm, not only cultivating the primordial god, but also having sword intent in his body, his cultivation surpasses the two realms of Wang Li, and he is almost invincible in the human dynasty; He is a disciple of Shushan in the Eight Classics, and the Yuan Shen Realm can be regarded as the backbone of Shushan; He was outside as a town guard, and his status was equal to that of the White Tiger Mountain God, the land of Anping, and the city god of the underworld.
Strength, background, identity, everything.
Only when facing Wang Li, his identity and background were crushed to a certain extent.
But I still have to mention that sentence: strength is the most important fundamental.
Therefore, when Shu Yao received his order, it may be true that he was afraid and trembled for a moment due to his identity, background, power oppression and his own behavior, but after he went upstairs, he faced Wang Li's various performances, which must have been mixed with acting.
If Wang Li was just a fourteen-year-old child in this world, then he might really believe it.
The so-called life is like a play. Not only must you be able to act, but you must also be able to distinguish whether others are acting.
Wang Li stared at Shu Yao, who fell silent on the screen.
He had previously decided that something was wrong with Shu Yao, after all, he said a lot of things, but he didn't say anything about the Yunyu Pavilion Great Array extracting Yuan Qi and merging into the Heavenly Yin Qi Vortex, he probably thought that it was impossible for Wang Li to find out about this problem. Unless Shu Yao didn't see through the big array of Cloud Rain Pavilion, but this possibility gradually tended to zero with Fang Cai's audio-visual experience.
Of course, Shu Yao did not leak anything in his words, and his words seemed to be appropriate to interpret from all directions.
On the other hand, it is precisely because of this that Shu Yao's cunning is shown and his intentions are revealed.
The water has left traces, and the geese have left sound.
Unless Shu Yao directly kept all silent after seeing Wang Li, as long as he moved, he would definitely leave a clue.
But a person who is already weak in heart will always think of doing something more to make up for or cover up.
Once suspicion arises, the charge is immediately established.
Wang Li didn't care if he had made a presumption of guilt without conclusive evidence from the beginning, after all, he had not directly convicted the murder on this ground.
Besides, take 100 million steps back...... My grandfather is the Lord of the Law Enforcement Palace!
After thinking about it for a while, Shu Yao on the screen stood up, and with the appearance of several unfamiliar faces, he also faded away from the seriousness and coldness of Fang Cai.
Wang Liwan smiled, put away the talisman astrolabe, and went out of the bath to change clothes.
When night comes, go out and go straight to Yunyu Pavilion.
