Chapter 13 Departure to the North City
Yucun once again ushered in the first snow, but this first snow was far from being as beautiful as when Li Wu was reborn, but it brought more despair and panic to the already lifeless Yucun.
In the blink of an eye, it was half a moon, and there were only ten families left in Yucun. Most of the injuries on Shan Xing's body have been healed under Ning Po's careful care and nourishment with medicine, and Yu Cun is in such a situation, Li Wu also discussed with Ning Po that he planned to leave for Beicheng early this morning.
After a few years of living, and now that he is gone, this house is more intimate. Li Wu placed the package on the body of the white dog, and looked back at the situation around him, brick by brick. He let out a final sigh and turned and pushed open the old door. Ning Po Huaiyan and others were behind him, and Shan Xing was held by Ding Ming, Shan Xing's scars were healed, and the whole person was more introverted, and he didn't like to talk anymore, what was rare was that there was a lot less gloom on his body, and his self-contempt and self-contempt were also a lot lighter, but fortunately, everything was developing in a better direction.
The creak of the door left behind all the past, but what greeted Li Wu and the others was a new voyage. It's just the beginning of the voyage, and it's obviously not smooth.
As soon as Li Wufu opened the door, he saw that there were many people crowded in front of the door, and he was already a little unhappy in his heart. The leader is the wife of the lame king's second child, holding the baby in her arms, and Ai Ai fell to her knees on the ground. The old and weak women and children kneeling in the front row all took root on their knees on the ground as if they had made up their minds, and the cold winter wind in the north could not blow a bit. The only remaining adult men in Yucun stood behind with their hands bowed and did not say a word.
"Ning Po, Yan'er, let's go. The people in front of him fell into Li Wu's eyes like air, without the slightest weight, not even the feathers, Li Wu turned around and said to a few people.
It's not that he doesn't have compassion, it's just that this situation, although he expected it, also really makes him feel sick. To blackmail moral humanity and use the elderly, weak, women and children as swords, this method is really despicable. Based on the incident of Shan Xing that day, he did not slaughter Yucun with Ding Ming, firstly, seeing that this epidemic had the handiwork of Beicheng, he did not want to be a sword, but fulfilled others, and secondly, he also took care of the old and young innocent, so why bother.
It seems that this is the consequence of benevolence and righteousness, retreating again and again, these people really think that he has no bottom line?
As soon as Li Wu's words fell, the second king's wife fell down in front of him, kowtowing incessantly, and the baby in her arms cried even more after being subjected to the cool breeze of these hours.
"In the past, we in Yu Village couldn't live with you, but now the people in the village are dying and sick, only a few of us are still healthy, and we can be regarded as the punishment we deserve, please save us, save us, save my children." The second daughter-in-law of Wang said, tears had already fallen down her face, and her thin body trembled even more.
Li Wu's face was calm and he didn't speak, and the air seemed to freeze in this snow, except for the sobbing of the woman, the surroundings were quiet for a while.
It took a long time for a voice to break the deathly silence.
"You told us to save you, but how could you have saved me in the first place, even if you gave me a look of pity, I was afraid. Everyone looked at the source of the sound and saw that it was Shan Xing, and their hearts were all shocked and frightened. What was shocking was that Shan Xing's eyes were like torches, his body was straight, how could he have the slightest hint of cowering and letting others bully him before, and he was afraid that he had already condemned Yu Cun to death in his words.
"Foolish people talk about dreams, they are talking about you, you know how you treated us in the past, what kind of face do you have to ask us to save you today?" Huaiyan behind Shan Xing also opened his mouth coldly, his face was not good, but Ding Ming and Ning Po glanced at each other and did not speak. Let the children make their own decisions.
"We know it's our fault, but you have mercy and save my grandson, he has no father since he was young, only me and his mother are lonely and widowed, if you are old, it would be okay to say, but now...... You are all bodhisattvas, my wife is here, I beg you. The second daughter-in-law of the king described the withered old woman on the side, and she couldn't stop wailing, and she saw that it was the woman's mother-in-law.
The morning sun slowly rose, and for some reason, Shan Xing and Huaiyan's eyes were focused on Li Wu's body at this time, perhaps in their hearts, Li Wu was already a well-deserved leader. Just waiting for Li Wu to make the final decision.
Li Wu's figure was shrouded in the glow, and his eyebrows and eyes were plated with a layer of golden light and shadow.
"Go, give it to them, and see what they choose. After a while, Li Wu looked around before he opened his mouth and handed the glass bottle to Shan Xing. The bottle is filled with blue spirit liquid, in order to destroy Yu Village, this Beicheng city lord can also be said to be painstaking, this blue spirit liquid, even if everyone in Yu Village raises the strength of the whole village, it is rare to have a bottle, and after all, it will end up with the death of the whole village. If they use it properly, they can save the lives of the remaining people in Yu Village at the moment, but if there is any action in the north city in the future, they can't do anything. There is no grace, there is still hatred, and to do this can be described as benevolence and righteousness.
"Good. Shan Xing's eyes were fixed, looking at Li Wu, and without a moment of hesitation, he reached out and took the glass bottle and handed it to the old woman.
"Thank you very much...... Thank you very much. The old woman took the glass bottle, her hands trembled, her eyes were full of gratitude, and she made a big gift on the ground.
"Brother Li Wu, let's go. Shan Xing didn't look at the people in Yu Village again, but just said to Li Wuhuaiyan and the others.
"Hmm. Li Wu bowed his head, didn't say much, but his mind flowed a little. I don't know if today's compassion is good or bad for this village.
After getting on the white dogs and horses, they began to run forward, and could only vaguely hear the sound of snatching and quarreling behind them, the screams and cries of women and children, followed by the sound of containers falling to the ground, which was noisy and unbearable.
It seems that this Yu Village is going to die after all. The light of the morning sun was a little dazzling but extremely clear, and the remaining villages were in the haze, turning gray little by little. This reminded Li Wu of the old Wujiao, in addition to the people in the sect who were clear and upright, they were not harmed by people like this Yu Village, and there was no room for resistance?
Li Wu was in his heart, but he still greeted the light, walked forward, and never looked back. Whether you live or die, it's all in a thought, and it all depends on your choice. A selfish and ignorant person can't be saved even by the gods and Buddhas, not to mention that he has a mere mortal body? Yucun was destroyed, maybe some people still remember, but there are no enlightenment teachings, and how many people still regret it?
It's just that the past is just a prologue, and his revenge for destroying the religion should naturally be avenged by himself.
This Yu Village is really remote, and after a few days of endless running around day and night, Li Wu and the others came to the outer gate of Beicheng. The north city gate is divided into inside and outside, and the people of the north city are all saying that the outside of the city gate is to defend against the enemy, and the inside is safe. In Li Wu's view, Beicheng is subordinate to the Qing State, if An Zheng should be the Qing State to An, where is the turn to get this Beicheng Yue Yu Dai. The disobedience of the city lord of the northern city is somewhat obvious. It's just that the entanglement of the superior has nothing to do with them now.
Li Wu shook his head and rode into the northern city, only to know the mystery here. The city wall is more than eight zhang thick, if the rest of the city wall is the thickest point of the sky, it is only six zhang, and this inner city wall is thicker than the outer city wall and is protected by magic, and it is difficult for ordinary people to break through. From the outside, the height of this city wall is much higher than the city wall of the capital city of Qing Kingdom, and it stands to reason that it is reasonable to treat the city lord of the northern city for a big disrespectful crime. It's just that this is not between the city walls, and there are many Buddhist temples, and the incense is prosperous. At a cursory glance, many Buddhist temples are dedicated to the statue of the city lord, but it is the appearance of extreme respect, and the people are very popular. It is no wonder that the royal family of this Qing Kingdom has tolerated this Beicheng city lord to this day.
Li Wu thought, and the group came to the hut that they had already looked forward to. The people of Beicheng hated the evil army, so this white grey dog took the Transformation Pill early, and outsiders seemed to be just an ordinary spirit animal. The courtyard was not large, so in order not to attract the attention of others, Li Wu and Ding Ming set the house in the corner at the junction of the inner and outer walls.
It is neither as poor as the outer city nor as prosperous as the inner city, but it is a pure place. There wasn't much luggage, and it was quickly settled. It's just that this Shan Xing was dressed in a black robe from beginning to end, and the beast bloodline was too strong, and even taking the Transformation Pill would not help.
Li Wu and Ding Ming both had a headache, how should this Shan Xing be in Beicheng in the future. The winter in Beicheng is also cold, but it is much warmer than Yucun in the north, and there are spells to protect it, and those cold-resistant trees actually have some signs of branching in spring, this scene made Li Wu's heart move, and he knocked on Ning Po's door instead.
Ning Po has a spring warm pearl, and Bao Buqi also has a phantom pill.
"Come in. Ning Po's voice came from inside the house, and Li Wu also pushed open the door when he heard the voice.
"I knew you kid was coming. Ning Po said, smiling slightly, there was a rare gentleness, "Is it for Shan Xing?"
"Yes, you know that the Transformation Pill has no effect on Shan Xing...... As for this, Li Wu didn't say any more, Ning Po is a smart person, if she has the Illusion Pill and is willing to take it out, he doesn't need to bother to speak, if she doesn't want to, it is also reasonable, not a parent, in fact, in the final analysis, he and Ning Po have no obligation or responsibility to do anything for Shan Xing, for Li Wu himself, it is just that he has been getting along for many years with a little more sympathy and true feelings, so he sees it as a relative, and for Ning Po, Li Wu can't say for sure, after all, the Illusion Pill is too precious to him now.
"Alright, take it, the Transfiguration Pill you wanted. Ning Po looked at the hesitation on Li Wu's face, lost her smile, pushed a mahogany box in front of him, and turned her back. "You, Huaiyan, and Shan Xing, are the same to me. I have no children, and being alone is a carefree life, if I hadn't picked you up in the snow, I would have been happy alone. Not to mention the Illusion Pill in this wooden box, it is not a problem for Shan Xing's kid to use it for a few years. If there is a shortage, ask me for it. Don't be trembling and don't dare to speak, my wife won't eat you. Ning Po's words were a little bleak, but there was also a sense of freedom and wantonness. "There are also some elixirs in it that nourish the muscles and veins, which are beneficial to you. ”
"It's Wu'er who is narrow-minded. Li Wu just opened the wooden box, and was dizzy by the full of pills inside, these pills are clear and beautiful in color, and the fragrance of the medicine is tangy, all of which are for the four products. Listening to Ning Po's heart-to-heart words, he hated himself even more for being suspicious and suspicious everywhere since he was reborn, if it was said that Ning Po was a respected elder in Li Wu's heart in the past, but now she is a rare dearest.
"You pity and love, Li Wu can't repay it, but in the future, you will be prosperous, glorious and rich, and I will give it to you with my own hands. Li Wu seemed to have a warm current surging in his heart, and said solemnly.
"I don't need you to give me anything, I want to improve myself wholeheartedly, which is the right way. Ning Po sighed.
"Wu'er understands. "In the previous life, the master said that people have nobles, but now that it is true, Li Wu responded.
The two of them have a deep love for their ancestors and grandchildren, but they don't see a flashing black figure.
