Wei Shu

Chapter 151
There is no moon tonight, only a few stars in the sky.

The time for curfew is approaching, the streets and alleys are dimly lit, the city government officials are beating gongs and carrying sticks, patrolling several lively squares and cities, driving away the few pedestrians.

Suddenly, a fluttering figure appeared in a certain dark alley. The candlelight cast by the people on both sides of the alley was dim and dim. A bare hand reached into the shadow of the candle like lightning, and caught a piece of falling tiles dangerously. Then, the slender figure swept up the roof like light smoke, and put the tiles back to their original places.

Wei Shu let out a sigh of relief after brushing off the dust on her sleeves.

It was the second time she had missed tonight.

When passing by a house just now, she accidentally kicked over a vegetable jar under the wall, which almost alarmed people, but luckily a stray dog ​​ran over with its tail between its legs, and took the woman's burden for her. A few scolding.

With Aqisi's skill, she definitely shouldn't have made the mistake that such a small gangster would make, but Wei Shu was a little out of her mind tonight, what repeatedly appeared in her mind was the figure of Lian Er sitting withered in the darkness .

For some reason, this figure reminded her of Nanny Zhu, the thin and skinny figure in the twilight.

One is green and young, the other is gorgeous and pale. Their faces alternately and overlap in front of Wei Shu's eyes, appearing and disappearing from time to time, lingering.

"To live...why is it so difficult?"

Stepping on the uneven tiles, Wei Shu's ears seemed to hear Lian'er's dreamlike whispers again.

She missed twice tonight, all while recalling this sound.

Why is it so difficult to live?

In the past, Wei Shu rarely thought of such a thing.Even if she was chased and killed by King Liang's private soldiers, exiled in various countries, and panicked in the countryside, she never felt that life was difficult. He went through blood and bones, overcame thorns and thorns, until he climbed to the highest throne.

However, this is not yesterday, and she is no longer a princess or queen, so the very common word "alive" also has a different meaning for her.

Concentrated, Wei Shu stretched out her hand to press on the roof, her dantian energized, her figure suddenly rose, like a big black bird darting across several roofs, within a few feet away in the space of landing.

She is on her way to Jingui's house.

Although she didn't promise anything to Lian'er, and she didn't intend to help, but as soon as she left Zuo Shuai's mansion, Wei Shu's legs and feet seemed to give birth to her own ideas, and she went straight to the north.

From then on, Wei Shu knew that she had to go this time.

Martial arts practitioners pay attention to the body first, mind and mind, and now the mind is not moved, the body is the first, this is the true intention of the martial artist, not to mention, the whole text of "Broken Arrow" only has two words:
No regrets.

Arrow out without regret.

Only when he has no regrets can he have a clear mind; only when he is clear can he have both spirit and mind.When the intention is reached, the environment will be strong;

When the archery technique is perfect, the grass, trees, mountains, rivers, heaven and earth, people's hearts and even all things in the world, all kinds of life, can be turned into a bow in the palm of the hand, and an arrow on the string.

Naturally, Wei Shu has not yet reached this state, and it is difficult to confirm whether this state can be achieved and whether it exists or not.However, the nature of martial arts practitioners and the loyalty of people in the Jianghu made her instinctively know that this trip is essential, otherwise her mood will be lacking, and it will be difficult to complete it.

And the mistakes along the way have nothing to do with warriors or Jianghu, but with Wei Shu's true heart.

She said that she would save Lian'er, and she also promised to save these poor Li slaves, and she is indeed doing it by herself, and the matter is almost done, and now there is only one last step left.

But, ask yourself, is saving people really her goal?
Didn't she put the common people on the stage with those high-sounding words under the guise of saving people, but she was actually planning carefully how to take advantage of this situation to severely destroy the prestige of the Jin Kingdom, boost the morale of the Central Plains, and then return to the Central Plains? This shows that he is not worse than those so-called Mingjun?
Why did she ever regard these living people as human beings?To a certain extent, isn't she, like those golden men, using these slaves as bargaining chips to increase her own weight?
In order to get rid of the bad breath in her chest, in order to get rid of the titles of "Emperor" and "Lucky" imposed on her by later generations, why isn't she using them?

And her ultimate goal is nothing more than wanting to prove herself and be a witness.In the final analysis, she is still for herself and the country in her eyes.

But, what is Jiangshan?
For so many years in the temple, Wei Shu has always thought that she understands the meaning of these two words, from listening to politics behind the curtain, to holding the national seal, from walking on thin ice, to being arbitrary. up.

Thoughts kept coming and going, and there was a lot of noise in her head, but Wei Shu's running speed didn't slow down at all, and she always paid attention to the situation around her, but she didn't continue to make mistakes. Like catkins drifting through the sky, passing through the city silently, it took less than a moment to reach the destination of this trip:

Beishi Yangtoufang Gualan Lane.

The man named Jingui lives here.

In this corner of the city, Wei Shu has been here before.

When she first entered Baishuang City, she had been hiding here for a period of time, avoiding the pursuit of several groups of killers in the villa.

This place is even more chaotic than the courtyard she lived in, because it is near the slave workshop, next to the base of the city wall, and there are shacks and huts everywhere, and there is not a single brick in sight. There are only roofs built of weeds, cows and horses drowned everywhere on the ground, manure and water flow across the ground, and a stench wafts from time to time in the wind, which is unbearable to smell.

To say that this is an alley is to exaggerate it. This is actually a shanty town. When the Song Dynasty ruled, this part of Yincheng was also a place where the poor gathered. Now Baishuang City’s government is even more neglected. Lanxiang became more and more disorganized.

Wei Shu picked up the roof of the shed where she could stand, jumped up and down, and arrived at the place in a short while.

Just as Lian'er said, the place where Jingui's house is located is indeed cleaner than the other places. Although the small ditch in front of the door is smelly, the bottom of the water reflects sparse stars, and the spring grass beside the ditch is scattered. , The wild flowers are scattered, and there are occasional fragrances, but it looks like it.

When she was five or six zhang away from Jingui's house, Wei Shu stopped walking.

She heard someone talking in the house, and what was even more bizarre was that there was still a light on in that hut. Although the candle light was faint, it was very eye-catching in this poor alley, almost out of place.

How can the poor have spare money to spend this candle?Why do blind people need to light a lamp?Besides, who is the old woman talking to when she is alone at home?
