Chapter 529: Debt and Guilt
At the beginning, it took Shao Xi and Lao Wu seven or eight days to travel from Qingshan County to Daliang City, although they were not in a hurry, but the pace was not slow.
Now that the brigade of hundreds of people is moving slowly, it is naturally not as good as it was at the beginning, even if it is fast, it will take ten days and a half months to reach Qingshan County.
This time, Shao Xi did not run away with Lao Wu first like when he went to Nanzhao, because the most important destination of this trip was Qingshan County.
Shao Xi also needs a certain amount of psychological construction along the way, although he can't wait to rush to Qingshan County to avenge Ye Ziyuan, but every time he thinks of Ye Ziyuan's lonely grave in the southern suburbs, his heart will always unconsciously throb.
This year seems to have passed a long time, but this year is actually fleeting.
Only a year ago, the beautiful and melancholy woman was still standing alive in front of her, but a year later, only a lonely grave remained.
It's just more than 300 days and nights, but now it feels like a world away, as if all this happened a long, long time ago, but every time I think about it, the grief in Shao Xi's heart is still so clear.
I wonder what Qingshan County has become in the past year? Did the shopkeeper of the coffin shop go to the grave of Ye Zikite to pull weeds on the New Year's Festival according to his instructions?
In order to bury Ye Ziyuan, Shao Xi spent almost all the money on his body, and even didn't even have money for food after he and Lao Wu arrived in Daliang City.
Today's Shao Xi is no longer what it used to be, and it only took one year to change from the fake "Jing Cheng Division" supervision history to a genuine brand, and he is already a wealthy family, holding the holy decree of the current saint in his hand.
This trip not only wanted to give Ye Ziyuan an official name, but also to turn her lonely grave into a large-scale cemetery.
This cemetery will become the most important place in the area under the jurisdiction of Qingshan County, and in the future, successive Qingshan County guards will come here to pay their respects during the New Year's holidays.
Because this is the place of the Holy Emperor's gift, and it is also the cemetery of his wife Shao Xi, Shao Xi will become the most important minister of the Jingyuan Dynasty in the future, and the cemetery where his wife is buried will become a place of awe for local officials.
Shao Xi is now an official in the court, the reused minister of the current saint Xiao Changyi, and coupled with his enmity and bizarre background of the Feng family, it is destined that Shao Xi will not be able to stay in Qingshan County to accompany Ye Ziyuan all the time.
Then, if Ye Zikite's burial place wants someone to take care of it all year round, in addition to the Holy Emperor's order, it is more important to rely on yourself.
Only when he became a pivotal figure in the Jingyuan Empire, would his wife's cemetery in Qingshan County be regarded as an extremely important place by officials at all levels.
This is like becoming a high-ranking and powerful minister in the court, and it is a truth that the people in his family will naturally be taken care of by all parties.
Therefore, Shao Xi still needs to do a lot of things, not only to avenge the Feng family back then, but also to break out of his own world in the court and the martial arts of the rivers and lakes.
Because Shao Xi is no longer alone, there are too many people around him who have become people who are closely related to their fate.
At the beginning, I could choose to flee when I encountered a strong enemy, but now I can't.
Now he has too many people behind him who need to be guarded, and everything he does is not only responsible for himself, but also for the people around him.
This trip to Qingshan County is extremely important to Shao Xi, this is the first debt he can never repay since he crossed over, although he has tried his best to do a good job of Ye Ziyuan's death, but it is too late to be too late.
When Ye Ziyuan was alive, there were too few things he could do for Ye Ziyuan.
Ye Ziyuan's only wish before his death was to leave Qingshan County with him, but even this only wish he couldn't fulfill for Ye Ziyuan.
A woman who is willing to give the rest of her life, even her life, to herself, but she doesn't have time to do anything for her, this will become Shao Xi's lifelong regret.
No matter how much this regret is made up, it can only be a regret after all.
Along the way, Shao Xi's mood became very heavy, and Lao Wu also saw that after starting from Daliang City, Shao Xi's words became less and less, and he would even say a word all day long.
Lao Wu knew in his heart that this was another painful memory of Shao Xi, so along the way, Lao Wu secretly instructed Wu Qiu'er, Fu Biao, and Long Qitai and others not to disturb Shao Xi.
No one can help him with this psychological hurdle, and he can only overcome it by himself.
Therefore, the atmosphere along the way seemed a little dull, and everyone who accompanied Shao Xi naturally became quiet when they saw the gloomy look on his face, and they no longer talked and laughed as before.
At this time, Shao Xi had not yet discovered that his emotions alone had deeply affected the people around him.
Even Xu Maocheng and Xuanjia Lieutenant Qiao Wu'an, who accompanied him, saw that Shao Xi's face was wrong, so they only went to ask Shao Xi for instructions when necessary along the way, and they were also walking silently at other times.
After traveling for more than ten days, he finally entered the boundary of Qingshan County, and the closer he got to Qingshan City, Shao Xi's heart became more and more nervous.
He couldn't tell why he was nervous, he only knew that his heart was extremely entangled at this time, he wanted to see Ye Zikite's grave earlier, but he seemed to be afraid to see Ye Zikite's grave.
Although he was full of endless thoughts for Ye Ziyuan in his heart, he felt that he had owed Ye Ziyuan too much, and now even if he did more for Ye Ziyuan, he couldn't fill the debt in his heart.
For a long time, Shao Xi has always been a reckless person, but at this time, he actually felt a little helpless.
Lao Wu urged the horse to Shao Xi's side and gently patted him on the shoulder.
As if to say to him, as if muttering to himself: "There are always things in this world that cannot be perfected and cannot be perfected."
"People have been in debt since they were born, but in fact, they have been paying off their debts all their lives! Isn't it all you owe me and I owe you all this life? It's just a confused account, where can it be so clear?
"Some people always say that they have a clear conscience, they have a clear conscience, but in fact, it's all! Who has never done one or two unfortunate things in his life, and has never been ashamed of others?
"But what should be put down must be put down after all, otherwise there are more and more things on your body in this life, and they are getting heavier and heavier, if you even owe yourself, won't you live in vain?"
After saying these words, Lao Wu urged the horses to rush to the front and asked Qiao Wu'an how long it would take to reach Qingshan City.
And after Shao Xi listened to Lao Wu's words, although he was still expressionless and silent, he was moved.
This old guy who doesn't have a proper shape on weekdays can't imagine that he can say such a philosophy of life at this time.
If Shao Xi hadn't known that Lao Wu had gone through all kinds of ups and downs in his life and encountered all kinds of hardships, he really didn't believe that this old guy had said these words.
However, Lao Wu is not unreasonable, he can't live with this guilt for the rest of his life, there are still many things to do in front of him, and there is still a lot of way to go.
What I have done now is just to alleviate the guilt in my heart, but the debt is owed after all, and some debts cannot be paid off in this life.
As Lao Wu said, since some things are destined to be irreversible, then let go of what should be put down!
No matter how much you can make up, what you can't make up for has been pressed in your heart to no avail, who can tell who owes whom in this life?
I have to say that although Lao Wu is just a thief in his life, he has indeed become Shao Xi's life enlightener.
Of course, this is only Shao Xi in this world after crossing over, since Shao Xi came to this world, Lao Wu not only taught him how to survive in this world, but also taught him how to face this world.
To a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration that Lao Wu is Shao Xi's life mentor in this world, and even Lao Wu's teaching to Shao Xi made Shao Xi understand many truths that he did not understand in the original world.
Shao Xi raised his eyes to look at Lao Wu, who was talking to Qiao Wu'an in front of him, and suddenly found that he had reverence for him for the first time in eleven years.
Originally, he just regarded him as his family, but at this time, he found that he had long been accustomed to his existence and had long been inseparable from his existence.
He will always point out a direction to himself seemingly inadvertently when he is most confused and helpless, and use the most nonsensical way to make himself feel that it is a choice he made.
And he, just behind himself, has been silently paying.
Everything he did to himself was just because the old lady of Fengjiazhuang and Feng Changlin saved his life at the beginning, and when the Feng family was in trouble, wasn't he as powerless as he was before before?
But he compensated for this debt and guilt to the Feng family, and he spent the rest of his life working hard to do what he should do for the Feng family.
How much do you owe Lao Wu now?
As he said, people don't owe me all their lives to me, I owe you, where can I share so clearly?
Thinking about this truth, Shao Xi's heart suddenly brightened.
That's right! Even if the account book in my heart is rotten, the account in this life is a confused account that cannot be calculated, and it is enough to do what I should do.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi felt that he seemed to be much more relaxed all of a sudden.
The most important thing at the moment is to handle all the things in Qingshan County, do everything you can for Ye Ziyuan, and leave the rest to time!
I believe that time will prove everything, and I should use this time to do more for those who I still have time to take care of.
What you already owe can no longer be repaid, so don't owe more to the people around you, and do more things for those you still have time to take care of, it's better than a pointless regret like now.
Shao Xi's whole spirit was not lifted, and he shouted to Lao Wu and Qiao Wuan in front, "Let the front speed up the pace, and be sure to rush to Qingshan City before noon." ”
