Chapter 097: The Attic
The return of the original to its owner and the recovery of the lost object is the penultimate step of Wei Shu's escape, and the last and most urgent step is to find a safe hiding place to avoid the upcoming pursuit.
Recalling this, Wei Shu tilted her head slightly, glanced at the low beam frame that was almost against her head, and pressed her hand on the still solid floor slab under her knees.
Well, it's done.
In addition to the fact that the place is a little narrower and the windows are a little smaller, this small attic in the backyard of the White Frost City Mansion is also a very comfortable place.
Wei Shu stretched out her hands and feet, leaned against the window in a different position, and looked at the courtyard downstairs.
It was just the third watch in the middle of the night, not long after knocking on the bangzi, the candle flame of the house behind the government was dim, and the fine rain was faintly visible slanting through the shadow of the lamp, and the ground paved with large blue bricks had been wet by the rain, reflecting a few lights, like a rare star.
Wei Shu supported herself with one hand, staring at the empty courtyard, and the other hand unconsciously rubbed the small bamboo basket at her waist, and the slight cold outside the window soaked her cheeks, which cooled her eyebrows and eyes again.
When the short knife touched the throat, the flower was really perverse, fierce and even grotesque, and it was all cured without medicine.
In order to survive, she not only explained the location of the appointment with Alain, but also revealed several secrets. And when Wei Shu asked about Mama Zhu, she was at a loss.
She doesn't remember it anymore.
It's like she can't remember how many Mu Nahetai died under her hands, and she doesn't remember the name of the servant she threw into the tiger cage.
In her eyes, killing a few people is like stepping on a few ants, and who will write down the names of those ants?
Looking at Hua Zhen's blank face that was by no means fake, the two words that had been hovering in Wei Shu's heart for a long time suddenly popped up:
Punished.
Fish and meat are good and harming the innocent, and they should be punished.
Whoever transgresses our land and slaughters my people shall be punished.
Extinction of human nature, animals are not as good as punishment.
When he cut off that beautiful and sweet head, the turbid qi blocking Wei Shu's chest was finally relieved a little.
But, that's not enough.
Wei Shu didn't know what kind of strategy the Great Song Dynasty was now, and why she was unwilling to show strength to the Jin State, but she knew that if this group of barbarians and savages were allowed to show off their might on the border of the Great Song Dynasty and arbitrarily slaughter the people of our Central Plains, it would be unfavorable to the country and the people, and it would also be an invisible pain.
If the pain is repeated repeatedly, it will give birth to fear and chill the heart, and at that time, the roots of a clan and the bones of a country will be broken violently, and the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species will not be far away.
A thousand years ago, Wei Shu had been unable to sleep at night and in pain. Although she is no longer the king, she still hopes that she can do something for her children and grandchildren, so as to increase the prestige of our clan and destroy others.
Even a tiny spark, like a candle outside the window, is enough to illuminate the long night, so that the darkness is no longer oppressive and difficult to breathe.
Therefore, after retrieving the wine vessel, Wei Shu did not follow the experience of Aqisi's old way in the rivers and lakes and escaped from the White Frost City when the four gates of the festival were opened, but turned around and plunged into the mansion.
This is the place that Wei Shu chose after thinking about it again and again. She felt that the safest place in the entire White Frost City was here.
As the General Administration of the Border City, the status of the White Frost City Government has always been a little embarrassing.
In many matters, the government is subordinate to the two commanders, and has no power to dispose of it, but at the same time, no matter what happens in the city, it can manage a little. And in the long run, there will definitely be a group of officials who are lazy and prevaricated, and Wei Shu takes a fancy to this.
The murder that happened in Balan Mansion was the center of the wrestling between Mangtai and Bulush, and the best choice for the group of beetles in the government was to shrink their heads into the turtle shell and kill them without showing their heads.
In this way, Wei Shu will also be fine.
Hiding here is like being in a hollow area formed by the convergence of two storms, and I am standing still in the north, south, west, and east.
And the fact is that as Wei Shu expected, the process of infiltrating the government office can be called easy.
That Qingqing Festival was originally been
One of the most important festivals in the Jin country, the official office was closed for two days according to the custom, and when Wei Shu arrived at the mansion, it was like entering a no-man's land.
More than half of the officials in the government were at home at the time of the crime, and the two classes of soap officials on duty were also unintentional, or secretly gambling and drinking, or simply went outside to meet friends and prostitutes, the area of Sanchun Hall must be extremely lively, but the government was as quiet as an empty city, when Wei Shu jumped off the high wall with the corpse as big as Alain, there was no sound in all directions, and not even a cat or dog was missing.
So, a certain heroine with four thieves swaggered and carried the corpse, went straight to the back garden of the mansion, found a few big stones and tied them to Alain's body, and threw him into the pond.
There are a lot of lotus flowers planted in the pond, and there are a lot of swimming fish, and in the middle of summer in June, the lotus flowers in the pond will bloom exceptionally beautifully, and the fish will also be exceptionally fat.
It's a pity that by then, Wei Shu should have returned to the Central Plains, but the fat fish couldn't be eaten, and it was really in vain that she had worked hard to feed her.
Speaking of which, Wei Shu's movement of throwing the corpse is not insignificant, and she is by no means acting arbitrarily, but because she is aware that the mansion is also empty.
At that time, she was quite strange, but later she learned that on the day of the Qingqing Festival, the princess and the family of the princess went to Canghe to see the spring festival of the Buhai tribe. There were not many servants in his house, and they all served with him. At the time of the death in Balan's house, his family was still eating and enjoying the scenery in the painting boat, and they did not land until the time when the lantern was held.
It was only then that the officials of the government who had gone crazy finally reported the news, and the lord of the government was shocked to hear about this, and immediately sent people everywhere to inquire about the news, and then ...... There was no more follow-up.
The soldiers under the command of the left marshal are all over the city to arrest the suspects, and the right marshal watches the fire from the other side and secretly fanned the flames, and the whole White Frost City is noisy, but the government is ignorant of this, just like the Buddha statue sitting on the lotus throne, not moving like a mountain.
Rather than being caught in the middle and doing hard, it is better to do nothing; Instead of meddling in something that can't be managed and can't be managed, it's better to pretend that nothing happened.
So, Wei Shu had to come for a few days to relax.
Putting down the small bamboo basket in her hand, she stretched lazily, walked to the middle of the attic, straightened up and stretched happily.
This was the widest part of the attic, which allowed her to stand upright, and the corners of the attic were so low that she could only bend over for her size.
Tonight, the kitchen steamed a lot of meat steamed buns, Wei Shu ate five in a row, and just kept curling up by the window, really a little panicked, at this time, this action is naturally eating.
"Click", only then did he move his hands and feet, and a soft sound suddenly entered his ears, Wei Shu's body shook, and the person was already by the window.
Someone's coming.
