A certain hall of the county government office was extremely quiet, and the sunlight shot in from the small window like countless golden arrows, illuminating the furnishings in the room.
"That note was given to You Wenzong, right?"
Without looking at Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian turned his back to her and asked.
The long silence also verified his guess.
"..."
"Why, don't you have anything to say?"
Turning around, Wei Changtian's expression was calm, and there seemed to be some disgust in his tone.
Different from the previous anger and threats, this was the first time he spoke to Xu Suisui in this tone.
The latter finally opened his mouth, his voice was very small and difficult.
"Wei Changtian..."
"I'm helping you..."
I'm helping you.
Here's the answer again.
Looking at Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian slowly took half a step back and shook his head.
Normally, he should ask Xu Suisui how the original plot developed at this time, and then judge from this whether the latter was really helping him.
But he didn't ask anything.
On the contrary, Xu Suisui suddenly took a step closer and said in a hurry:
"Wei Changtian, you will understand later!"
"Yes, I admit that I do have my own selfish motives."
"But I won't hurt you!"
"You believe me, I can explain it to you..."
"No."
Waving his hand, Wei Changtian suddenly interrupted her.
"You don't need to explain to me, and I don't want to know either."
"I only saw you preventing the imperial army from entering Niutoushan, and that's enough."
"..."
His figure suddenly froze, and Xu Suisui's eyes gradually lost their luster.
She bit her lip and asked tremblingly:
"Well, what happens next?"
"What are you going to do to me? Are you going to kill me?"
"no."
With a slight sigh, Wei Changtian turned his head and looked out the window at the cloudless blue sky.
"No matter what your purpose is, you helped me at Zhenshan Camp before."
"The two times are equal, so now neither you nor I owe anything to the other."
"Go away. What you do in the future has nothing to do with me."
"But if you act against me again next time and fall into my hands..."
After a pause in his voice, Wei Changtian lowered his head.
"Then I won't be as generous as I am today."
"..."
From the time they met to the time they broke up, Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui took less than a month in total.
The red peppers jumping all over the ground seemed to be still vivid in my mind, and the "Comrade Wei" sounds still seemed to echo in my ears.
Wei Changtian has not yet fulfilled his promise to help Xu Suisui find a suitable husband.
And Xu Suisui did not fulfill his promise and helped Wei Changtian invent stockings and miniskirts...
When the "revolutionary friendship" that was supposed to be unbreakable was shattered in just an instant, Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui did not speak for a long, long time.
As a fellow countryman, no, the term "fellow countryman" is no longer appropriate.
It should be said that there is indeed an unusual emotional sustenance between the two people who are both "travelers".
This is also the reason why Wei Changtian always faces Xu Suisui with an almost "infinite tolerance" attitude.
Even after learning the truth about the latter system, he still felt that the two of them should have a common goal and could become trustworthy companions.
But the note written by Xu Suisui made Wei Changtian realize the reality.
It turns out that true trust can never be established between the two of them.
Since this is the case, then going their separate ways is already his biggest concession.
"..."
"I see......"
The slightly trembling voice was small, filled with unspeakable loneliness.
Xu Suisui backed away little by little, then stopped at the door and slowly turned his head.
"Can I ask you one last question?"
"..."
Turning around and looking over, Wei Changtian stood tall and tall in the sunshine: "Ask me."
"good......"
Xu Suisui hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "If you have the chance, will you go back?"
"..."
Wei Changtian had asked Xu Suisui this question before, and the latter gave an affirmative answer without even thinking about it.
But when Xu Suisui asked back, Wei Changtian did not answer.
At this moment, when his own situation had become "completely different," Wei Changtian roughly understood why Xu Suisui asked this question again.
Here, he is the "Wei Gongzi" who is more than ten thousand people, powerful and has many wives and concubines. He is the unique "protagonist" appointed by the novel.
Back home, he is an ordinary person who works 996 all day long and may not be able to afford a small house in a big city after a lifetime of hard work. He is just one of the thousands of "supporting characters" in the world.
Since Xu Suisui knows his "predetermined ending" in the novel, asking such a question at this time is undoubtedly to confirm whether her arrival has affected his "values".
Wei Changtian didn't know how his "original" self chose, and he didn't ask.
Faced with such a multiple-choice question that didn't seem to be difficult, he just followed his heart and gave the answer quickly.
An answer that completely exceeded Xu Suisui's expectations.
"meeting."
"I will definitely go back."
"..."
His eyes widened slightly, and Xu Suisui's expression was a little dazed for a moment.
"Why?"
"Here, you are the protagonist..."
"..."
Looking at Xu Suisui's reaction, Wei Changtian guessed how he finally chose in the novel.
Didn't you go back? It doesn't matter.
At least what I said at this moment was indeed the truth.
"main character......"
Looking at Xu Suisui with a complicated expression, Wei Changtian suddenly smiled.
"I think we all got one thing wrong."
"In the book I read, Xiao Feng is indeed the protagonist."
"In the book you are reading, I am indeed the protagonist."
"But for this world, there has never been and will never be a so-called protagonist."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In other words, everyone in this world, no matter high or low, is actually the protagonist of this world."
"..."
...
In the Wei Mansion, Wei Qiaoling, who had two braids on her head, had just finished her morning practice and was complaining to the little black dog next to her with a sad face.
"Big ghost, practicing is so boring."
"You need to grow up quickly, I will still ride you."
"Dad and mother have encountered some good things these past few days, and they have been smiling all day long."
"Oh, there are also eldest brother and sister-in-law, I haven't seen them for a long time..."
In Fuyun Inn, the sun shone on the big brocade silk quilt, vaguely outlining Xu Qingwan's beautiful figure.
She slept in the cage for a long time this time. It was already three o'clock in the morning and she still hadn't gotten up yet.
In a daze, the corners of Comrade Xiao Xu's mouth were slightly raised, as if he was having a good dream.
In the dream, there was Wei Changtian, his parents, and countless amounts of money...
"Well......"
Halfway through the sweet dream, Xu Qingwan turned over in a daze, and in one fell swoop she rolled over half the width of the bed.
But even with such a big movement, she still held a small bundle tightly in her arms, and she never let go.
After all, this little baggage containing banknotes and broken silver is her treasure.
...
In the Shu army camp, a soldier named Li Erzhu was practicing his sword skills. Sweat ran across his slightly immature cheeks and fell into the soil drop by drop.
After experiencing several battles in a row, Li Erzhu has successfully transformed from a recruit who can't even hold a weapon firmly to a veteran with some battlefield experience.
And I don't know if it was due to good luck, but not only did he survive as Wei Changtian predicted, he even achieved military exploits, and if nothing else goes wrong, he will be promoted to corps commander soon.
Although the corps commander is the smallest official position in the army, there are only four or five people under his command.
But Li Erzhu was only fourteen years old after all, and he felt that his future would be bright.
After the war, he can go home to visit his parents, buy a few more acres of land for his family, and buy some beautiful clothes for his sister...
Under the scorching sun, Li Erzhu kept imagining the scene of his "returning home in fine clothes" in the future, and felt that the hand wielding the knife seemed to be stronger.
Then at a certain moment, he suddenly thought of Wei Changtian, whom he had only met once.
I don’t know if I can be as powerful as Mr. Wei one day...
...
Just as Wei Changtian said.
There has never been a so-called protagonist in this world, and the world will never revolve around just any one person.
For Wei Qiaoling, she is the big brother she has not seen for a long time.
But there are still Wei Xianzhi, Qin Caizhen, the big ghost and that group of strange animals in her world.
For Comrade Xiao Xu, he is the husband-in-law whom she has entrusted her whole life to.
But there is still plenty in her world, and there is countless money waiting for her to earn.
For Li Erzhu, he was the "idol" who had given him encouragement.
But there are still relatives in his world and his youthful ambition to "return to his hometown in fine clothes".
It's not just them.
Including everyone including Chu Xianping, Liang Qin, Yang Liushi, Wei Xianzhi, etc., I may have a very important position in their hearts, but it is definitely not all of them.
And this is actually the relationship between oneself and this world.
What protagonist, what fate...these are just limitations of thinking caused by "traveling through books".
To this world, everyone is nothing special and everyone is indispensable...
When Wei Changtian learned that the old woman was not actually waiting for him, and when he saw with his own eyes the hundreds of thousands of people who died in Niutoushan, he finally understood this truth.
so......
"Is that why you didn't ask anything?"
After a long silence, Xu Suisui asked silently.
"yes."
Wei Changtian's smile remained the same, and his tone was somewhat free and easy.
"What will happen if we know the original plot?"
"Did you finish the trick according to the script?"
"Or do we have to deliberately change everything?"
"Both of these are stupid."
"So I would rather not know the so-called fate and just do what I think I should do at the moment."
"..."
"I understand."
"Thank you......"
Looking at Wei Changtian standing in the sunshine, Xu Suisui was stunned for a long time and then suddenly whispered something incomprehensible.
However, Wei Changtian did not answer, but turned to look out the window again.
Shu soldiers wearing green armor hurriedly walked through the courtyard. Their faces were filled with a long-lost sense of relaxation and comfort, and they whispered about when they would be promoted and rewarded, and when they could go home to visit their relatives.
A little further away, in front of a newly opened restaurant outside the county government office, several waiters were loudly soliciting customers. Several jugglers were dancing with knives and guns on the street. The gongs were clanging like thunder, causing the crowd of onlookers to shout loudly.
Applause.
The copper plates jingled and clanged into the clay bowl, and one fell outside, and was picked up secretly by a beggar in an instant.
He used the coin to exchange it for a steaming steamed bun at a stall not far away, then broke off a small piece and gave it to a lame old yellow dog...
All of this will never intersect with Wei Changtian in the novels Xu Suisui has read.
But they exist extremely real and together constitute this real world.
Including the young man who traveled through time due to an electric shock in his previous life, and countless people like him...
They are actually the protagonists of the world.
The cloudless sky is clear and blue.
A few little birds played among the branches, and then flew higher and farther under Wei Changtian's gaze.
