The woman in black clothes stood on the high roof with her hands behind her back, looking at everything with indifferent eyes. When the wind blew, her clothes flew up. Except for her relatively soft round face, her smug look was slightly diluted. The cold temperament, at first glance, really makes her feel like a goddess overlooking the world.
In the distance, there was still a lot of fighting on the city wall, and rockets were flying and falling like locusts in the night.
Occasionally, shrill screams were heard, and chaos spread. Some streets were filled with screaming crowds running through them, while other streets were dark and quiet. Bodies that had died at some point fell here, and solitary heads were buried in pools of blood and occasionally lighted up. Appeared suddenly in the flash of light.
There were not many civilians running around in the streets and alleys near this courtyard. Shortly after the chaos broke out, the army first took control of the situation and ordered everyone not to go out. Therefore, most civilians hid in their homes and dug cellars. He even hid underground, waiting to survive the sudden chaos. Of course, there are more complex reasons that can make the area quiet.
The messenger occasionally came over, walked through the streets, and disappeared by a door somewhere. Since many things had already been scheduled, the woman was unmoved and just watched everything in the city quietly.
The fragile and precious peaceful scene in Zezhou has finally passed away. It is not an exaggeration to say that everything in front of us is a loss of life. Every exclamation and scream in the city may mean a period of time. Life was turned upside down and life was cut off. Everywhere where fires rose, there were extremely miserable stories. The woman just watched. When another group of people approached from a distance, she jumped up from the building.
The light figure stepped on the protruding wooden beam in the middle of the house and looked at her husband who was walking into the courtyard. The man reached out to pick her up. By the time others came in, she was already standing firmly on the ground, and her eyes were cold again. Xigua has always been dignified and aloof towards her subordinates, and everyone has always been "aweful" of her. For example, Fang Shuchang and others who came in later were always obedient when Xigua gave orders, but the warm feelings in their hearts - well, then It's not easy to say it.
Seeing some ashes on the hands of her husband and other subordinates, she stood in the yard and paid attention to the number of people coming in with her peripheral vision. After a moment, she said: "What's wrong?"
"A street was on fire. I happened to pass by and helped save people. No one was hurt, so don't worry."
"Yeah." Xigua's eyes were hesitant, but she was also past the age where she could say "I haven't worried about this little thing at all." Ning Yi smiled: "Have you had dinner?"
"Eat." Her words had softened. Ning Yi nodded and pointed to Fang Shuchang and others: "On the street where we were fighting the fire, there was a butcher shop. After saving his son, he was not in a hurry anyway and grabbed some meat and salt. The vegetable jars came out and they tasted good. I spent some money to buy some. I’ll have a late-night snack later." After saying this, he paused and asked again: "Are you free later?"
Xigua said: "I'll do it."
Ning Yi smiled: "Let's go together."
Xigua nodded. Her cooking skills were not good, and she rarely ate with her subordinates. This may have nothing to do with not looking down on people. Her father, Liu Dabiaozi, passed away too early, so a strong girl took over Zhuangzi early. He tends to be stubborn in his understanding of many things: learn to speak with his father's voice, learn to act like an adult. As the owner of the village, he must arrange the lives of the old and young in the village, and he must also ensure his dignity and respect for superiors and subordinates.
Many things in this process were naturally supported by Liu Tiannan, but the girl's concern for everyone in the village was unquestionable. In her humble and majestic manner like a little adult, others could see her heart for fists and fists.
Later, many rules were consciously maintained by everyone. Now that the woman is married and has children, her horizons have broadened, but these rules are still engraved in her heart and have not changed.
The two have been getting along for a long time, and their tacit understanding has been deep. Although Ning Yi did not ask about the situation in the city, since Xigua said he was free, it proved that everything was still going according to the scheduled procedure, and there was no possibility of a sudden reversal. He
He returned to the room with Xigua, and soon went upstairs to talk to Xigua about the fight between Lin Zongwu and Shi Jin - the result must have been known to Xigua, but not the process.
"... From the results, it seems that the monk's martial arts has reached an advanced level. Compared with Zhou Dong, he is probably even better than Zhou Tong. He is probably the real number one in the world. Tsk..." Ning Yi admired and yearned for it, "
It was a beautiful fight... Shi Jin was also a bit disappointed."
Xigua's expression was indifferent: "Compared with Sister Lu, it may not be so."
"How could I let Hongti fight with him again? Hongti has children, and those who have concerns will eventually have to lower themselves to a lower level."
"You are a second-rate fool, how do you know the realm of a first-rate master?" Xigua said to him, but smiled gently, "Sister Lu grew up fighting in the battlefield. The world is cruel, and she knows best what ordinary people will do.
If you hesitate, Sister Lu will only become stronger."
"I remember that every time you played with her recently, it was a draw. Hongti told me that she tried her best..."
Xigua's eyes narrowed dangerously. She held it in for a while, and finally raised her head and waved her fists to the sky a few times: "If you weren't my husband, I, I, I - I would beat you to death." Then came the words.
With a dumbfounded face: "I am also a first-rate master! But... Sister Lu is getting weaker and weaker when facing the people around her. If I risk my life, I am afraid of her."
If it were Xigua when she reunited with Ning Yi in Xiaocang River, she might have challenged Ning Yi to a duel because of such a joke and took the opportunity to beat him. At this time, she actually no longer takes such jokes seriously.
, the response was also a joke. After a while, the cook below had already started making midnight snacks - after all, many people had to stay up all night - and the two of them lit up a small fire on the roof, preparing to make two bowls of pickles.
Fried rice with diced pork in soy sauce, and occasionally talking during the busy period, the chaos in the city changed in this scene. After a while, Xigua stood by the earth building and stood on tiptoe to look out: "The West Granary has been taken."
"The food may not be as much as expected. Lou Shuwan will have a headache and people will die here."
"Zezhou is a big city. No matter who takes over, it will be stable. But there is not enough food in the Central Plains, so we can only fight. The question is whether we will attack Li Xizhi or Liu Yu."
"The King of Jin joins forces with Wang Juyun to defeat Li Xizhi. In this way, Zhu Biao can take the opportunity to do something. Wang Shanyue and Hu Sanniang may not miss this opportunity. Jurchen
If the action is not too big, Yue Fei will not let go of the opportunity. There is also a war in the south. Oh, Tian Hu, sacrifice him to benefit the world."
"...It's a disaster for everyone in the world." Xigua said.
"Yes." Ning Yi smiled slightly, but there was bitterness on his face. Xigua frowned and enlightened: "That's what they have to suffer. Is there any other way? It's better to do it sooner than later."
"Yeah." Ning Yi added food and nodded more and more depressedly, and Xigua comforted her a few more words. A woman's heart is actually not strong, but if the people around her are depressed, she will become truly strong.
The couple relied on each other like this, and Xigua actually understood it in her heart. After saying a few words, Ning Yi handed over the fried rice, and she just said: "I heard that you told Fang Chengye about the unkindness of heaven and earth."
The two sat down on the half wall at the edge of the earth building. Ning Yi nodded: "Ordinary people asking for right and wrong are essentially shirking responsibility. Fang Chengye has begun to lead the actions of a place, so you can talk to him about this."
"After what happened with Tang Minjie, you became very cautious when speaking."
These are just casual chats, no need to take them seriously. Ning Yi took two bites of fried rice and looked into the distance before speaking: "Existentialism itself... is a truth used for pragmatic development, but it is very harmful. For many people, once
Really understanding it can easily lead to the collapse of the outlook on life. Originally, this should be an area that people should only come into contact with after having a deep foundation, but we have no choice. People who want to lead and decide things cannot be naive, and one will die for every mistake.
People, just watch the waves wash over the sand."
"Isn't it a pity for Tang Minjie?"
"When I taught a class to a large group of people, he was the most astute and the first to talk about right and wrong. He said that right and wrong may come from who he is. He talked about it for a long time. After I understood it, I said you are just talking about nonsense. No.
That's right. He realized it all on his own. Later I told them about existentialism - the world is unkind and all things have animism as a guideline for their actions. He was probably... the first to understand. Then, he loved his own people even more.
Anything that has nothing to do with oneself is not a human being.”
"So I thought about it carefully and sent him to the Kingdom of Jin." Ning Yi paused, "As for Fang Chengye, I'm considering letting him partner with Wang Shitong...or maybe go meet Shi Jin..."
The night was still very long, and the lights and shadows in the city were floating. The couple sat on the roof of the building and watched all this, saying very cruel things. However, this cruel world, if you can't understand everything about it, how can you let it go?
Really getting better. The two of them came all the way, bypassing Xixia, and then went to the northwest. They saw the real death place, the poor people who were so hungry that they were so thin that only their skeletons were left. But the war came, and the enemy came. This
How can everything be changed by one person's kindness, anger or even madness?
People can only find their way carefully, and in order to prevent themselves from becoming crazy, they can only lean on each other and support each other under such circumstances.
The night gradually deepened, and the chaos in Zezhou City finally began to stabilize. Only the sound of crying continued to be heard in the night. The two of them cuddled up on the roof of the building, squinting for a while, and Xigua whispered softly in the darkness: "
I originally thought you were going to kill Lin Echan, so I was a little worried if you went there in person this afternoon."
Ning Yi patted her shoulder gently: "He is a coward, but he is very powerful after all. In that situation, if you take the initiative to kill him, the chance of him running away is too high, and it will still be very troublesome later."
After a while, he added: "I originally thought that if he really came to kill me, I would keep him at all costs. He didn't come, so it's a good thing... I'm afraid of killing people. It's not worth it for the time being. Besides, I'm also afraid of him."
Manichaeism is dead and replaced.”
Xigua cupped his chest: "Yes. Uncle Wang Yin."
"Uh...haha." Ning Yi laughed softly. He looked up at the deep night sky with only a few stars twinkling, "Oh, No. 1 in the world... I'm actually quite envious..."
The sky turned, and the night gradually passed. In the early morning, the water evaporated due to the burning of the city turned into mist in the air. When the first ray of fish belly white appeared on the sky, white mist floated, Ning Yi walked down the yard,
Going down the streets and slopes, there were first complete courtyards on the roadside, and soon there were flames, and the ruins of the war-torn buildings. Some of the people who had spent the night in chaos and rescue were sleeping, and some were sleeping.
I couldn't sleep anymore. There were rows of corpses on the roadside. Some were burned to death, and some were hit by swords. They were lying there, covered with gray or burnt cloth, and men and women stood guard next to them.
Most of the family members have cried without tears, a few can still howl, and an even smaller number are dragging their tired bodies and still running around, negotiating and appeasing everyone - these are mostly spontaneous and more capable residents.
, they may have lost their family members, but they are still working hard for a slim future.
There are children who have lost their families and have no one to take care of them anymore, standing alone on the roadside, watching all this with dull eyes.
The soldiers of the army used swords and guns to suppress all the residents in the city who might be agitated and looking for someone to fight. Along the way, they could occasionally see small-scale chaos. That was when the soldiers would lose their husbands, wives and children, or lose their family members.
The crazy woman fell to the ground, then gagged her mouth and tied her to one side with a rope. She howled miserably while struggling.
On one side of the city, nearly 10,000 hungry ghosts who poured into Zezhou originally caused a big mess, but at this time they had been stabilized under the dual restraints of the army and the ghost king. Wang Shitong was led through the streets of Zezhou
In the streets, not long after, I saw the legendary inner demon beside a ruin. (To be continued.)
