The wind started blowing along the long street, blowing from the east end to the west end, making my clothes rustle and blowing my hair to cover my tears.
A hundred years ago, when Ku left Siyou City, Baicao had no time to say goodbye to him, but he knew that there would always be a time when they would meet again.
Now, Ku has officially bid farewell to him. There will be no unexpected encounters and no return as scheduled.
While Baicao was grieving, a carriage appeared on the street corner and stopped at the intersection.
Three people got out of the car, Cao'er, Zhou Jiufeng, and Feng'er, who although he couldn't be called a human being, said he was not a bad person.
Cao'er held an oil-paper umbrella, and Feng'er stayed under the umbrella to avoid the scorching sun.
It's just that Cao'er is too short. Even if she lifts the oil-paper umbrella on tiptoes, Feng'er still has to stoop to walk, which is very funny.
Feng'er couldn't help but say: "If you are short, why don't you hold up the umbrella? Give the umbrella to Sister Feng, so I won't grow taller."
Naturally, Cao'er couldn't hear Feng'er's words, but she seemed to be aware of it and looked around, "Hey, someone seems to be saying that I'm not tall."
Finally, she locked her gaze on Yu Sheng, her eyes filled with anger, like an angry bird, walking over in a hurry.
Feng'er had to half-crouch and follow quickly.
Yu Sheng felt uneasy, not knowing where he had offended this girl, but he couldn't help but laugh at Feng'er's walking posture.
"For the rest of my life, where is Li Cai? I'm going to kick her to death!" Cao'er said angrily.
"Staying in Xunweizhai, why did she offend you?" Yu Sheng was a little strange, but the two monsters were quite good friends when they left.
"She... forget it, wait until I go find her to settle the score." Cao'er hesitated, but turned around to see Baicao holding a corpse in distress, "This is..."
Yu Sheng nodded and saw that Feng'er was already dazed, squatting under the shadow of the umbrella, frowning and staring at the withered body.
Yu Sheng took a step forward and said, "How about I resurrect him? It just so happens that I have a debt I haven't settled with him yet."
Baicao was startled, raised his head and looked at Yu Sheng, and seemed to be aware of Feng'er's whereabouts, "Shopkeeper Yu decided to let him go?"
Yu Sheng paused and said, "Of course not. You have also seen that he will kill me if he lives. If I keep him, I will be asking for trouble."
"In that case," Baicao shook his hand, and a golden sword appeared in his hand, "If Shopkeeper Yu revives him, please kill me first."
After he finished speaking, the Wu Zhus behind him shook their wrists, and a sword appeared in their hands, looking at Yu Sheng quietly.
Yu Sheng also looked at them, "Have you forgotten what your brother told you before he died?"
"As I said, Si You's glory never belongs to the city lord, nor does it belong to the fire. Instead, in the ancient times of the eternal night, he used the witchcraft he understood to protect his relatives, his brothers, his fellow tribesmen, all human tribes, and help the human race.
To open up the wilderness and build your own home in one step is Si You's glory."
Baicao stood up and said, "So, Leader Yu, if you want to torture my brother, please step over my body."
"Step over!" All Siyou stepped forward and stood together with Baicao.
Yu Sheng nodded, "I respect Si You's honor, but! A life must be paid for a murder, not to mention that your brother killed three lives, including an unborn child."
"I want justice." Yu Sheng said.
"That's right, kill with your life." Baicao nodded. He looked down at Ku, and turned the golden sword upside down in his hand. When Yu Sheng felt something was wrong, he inserted the sword into his left chest.
Although the sword was not close to the vital point, it was by no means a minor injury. Not to mention that as Kusei said before, the magic power turned into a sword, and the stab wound would be difficult to heal without the help of medicinal stones.
"Ku is dead. As the elder brother, I will repay the debt now." Baicao covered her chest.
"But my life is still useful, so now Sanjian will pay for it. How about I make amends after Si Youcheng's troubles?" Baicao said and waved his sword again.
When he stabbed again, Yu Sheng stopped him with a flagpole and looked down at Feng'er.
Feng'er squatted on the ground and touched his withered face with her hand, but it passed through his body.
"I remember everything," Feng'er said softly, "when I was pregnant, when I got married, and when I was killed."
For some unknown reason, perhaps because his cultivation level had improved, Feng'er's body gradually appeared in front of everyone, dressed in a phoenix crown and harem, looking very charming.
When Cao'er saw Feng'er's appearance, she couldn't help but pouted. Not only was she beautiful, she was actually taller than her!
"I hate him." Feng'er stood up. "Just because I took one more look at him in the crowd, I couldn't forget him anymore. He was the only one I thought about day and night."
"I stood on a tall building all day just to take another look at him, but I never saw him again. At that time, I could only say one word a day."
"Soon, I found out that I was pregnant. Although I didn't know why, I didn't bother to find the answer. In order to hide it from others, I got married to the husband who has always liked me."
"My husband knew that I was pregnant, and he also believed that I would not have an affair with anyone. But I didn't expect that he would show up on the wedding day." Feng'er said with tears in her eyes.
"Now that I think about it, that must be his child." Feng'er looked up at Baicao.
He covered his eyes with a black cloth and lowered his head.
"What a cruel heart." Feng'er was not angry but smiled. She was sad because she sealed her memory after her death, and she smiled sadly because she had loved such a person.
"I persisted in turning into a ghost after death and stayed in this world for such a person." Feng'er shook her head and wiped away her tears.
"Give me a sword." Feng'er said to Zhou Jiufeng, and Zhou Jiufeng handed the sword to Feng'er.
Feng'er raised the sword unfamiliarly and made a deep cut on Qiu's throat, and then used the sword to make a long cut on his stomach, exposing his intestines.
Baicao is indifferent, and he deserves all this.
After doing all this, Feng'er returned the sword to Zhou Jiufeng, turned around and said to Yu Sheng and Cao'er, with tears in her eyes, "Let's go for a walk."
Yu Sheng had an ominous premonition, nodded, and followed Feng'er out of the messy streets.
The crowded streets were rarely empty. As they walked on the street, their bodies were blown by the wind, which made Feng'er even more moving.
Many people crowded in the shops on both sides of the street poked their heads out to look at Feng'er, a girl in a red dress leading a few people to walk briskly on the street.
Along the way, Feng'er pointed from time to time and talked about the footprints she walked on these streets as a child.
When they approached a broad street, Feng'er's pace slowed down. She was a little excited, but she tried her best to endure it.
As soon as they turned onto this street, Feng'er hid outside the street in an instant.
I saw two old men walking towards the end of the street.
They supported each other and held a basket in their hands. There were several dead vegetables in the basket.
The mother-in-law stopped, looking at Yu Sheng, Cao'er and Zhou Jiufeng standing at the corner of the street, and did not look back for a long time.
The grandfather who was walking forward was stunned. He turned back and looked at his mother-in-law, "Old lady, what's wrong?"
The mother-in-law said blankly: "I, I seem to have seen Feng'er."
Grandpa was startled, then smiled, "How are you doing, my daughter? Are you okay?"
"Okay, great. She's still wearing the phoenix crown and harem she wore when she got married. She's very beautiful." The mother-in-law said dreamily as she looked at Yu Sheng and the others.
"That's good, that's good. Just tell her not to worry. We'll go find her after a while." Grandpa gently pulled his mother-in-law forward.
It seems like this scene is already normal.
They staggered up the steps, opened the door, and walked in.
The four of them were silent for a long time. Yu Sheng looked back at Feng'er and saw her squatting in the corner sobbing.
Yu Sheng went over and patted her shoulder. Feng'er wiped away her tears. She stood up and smiled: "I, I'm fine."
She walked to the door where the two old men entered and touched the knocker, but it still didn't knock.
She walked out and pointed to the high wall opposite the door and the attic inside the high wall, "My husband and I often look at each other across the street."
"Until I saw that guy under the tree, I was misunderstood by him all my life." Feng'er smiled bitterly, sat on the steps, held her chin in her hands, and looked at the sky.
"My favorite place to sit here was when I was a kid, especially when I was eating Yuanjia soup cakes on the street corner, it tasted particularly delicious when I sat here." Feng'er said.
Because there is home behind you and a vast world in front of you.
Just at this moment, a fragrance wafted from the street.
Feng'er turned around and asked Yu Sheng, "Shopkeeper Yu, do I still have a lot of wages from you?"
"Of course", Yu Sheng nodded.
"Then I'll treat everyone to soup cakes." Feng'er said with a smile.
"I'll go." Zhou Jiufeng stood up, took the money handed over by Yu Sheng, ran to the corner shop, and brought four bowls of soup cakes on a wooden tray.
The so-called soup cake is similar to the noodle soup in the previous life. It is cut thinner and you can choose different toppings, including three delicacies, shredded bamboo shoots, shredded bacon, and now shredded tofu.
It smells very delicious.
"I want shredded tofu. After all, I made ground tofu at the inn." Feng'er said happily.
They sat on the steps, watching the people coming and going on the street at the end of the street, talking and laughing, slowly tasting the soup cakes one bite at a time.
This soup cake is extremely delicious, "I must take a bowl back and let my little aunt try it," Yu Sheng said.
"Well, help me say goodbye to the city lord." Feng'er wiped her lips and put the bowl down and said.
Yu Sheng and Cao'er stopped their chopsticks at the same time and looked at Feng'er.
Feng'er stood up gracefully, walked down the street, and faced Yu Sheng and the others.
The sun has set, and the setting sun falls on Feng'er's body, making her red dress more vivid, "Now it's time to say goodbye."
Feng'er looked at Cao'er, "Go back and help me say goodbye to everyone. Xiang Bai is happy, Ye Gao, Fu Nan, Chong'er, Black Niu, Liu Liu, and Gouzi, Sheriff Black Cat..."
While talking, Feng'er couldn't help but laugh and cry again.
"Although they can't see me, they think of me everywhere, especially Ye Zigao. I tell him thank you for sticking with me."
"Thank you, Xiao Yu'er, for patiently watching me gesture word by word, speak word by word, and chatter paragraph by paragraph."
"Before going to the inn, I felt that time was so long; after staying at the inn, the days passed so quickly."
Feng'er closed her eyes, recalled the time at the inn, and smiled happily under the setting sun.
She stretched out her hand and gestured in the air, "Without your company, the days are really long. Thank you, my friends."
These words appeared in the air, but Feng'er's feet and legs slowly disappeared in the setting sun.
She finally bowed her hands to Yu Sheng and the others, and the words disappeared into the setting sun together.
Cao'er cried out, Yu Sheng calmed down her emotions and comforted Cao'er, "Feng'er, go find her new life."
"Would you like another bowl of soup cake?" Zhou Jiufeng sighed.
"OK."
Yu Sheng agreed, but heard footsteps coming from behind the door. Her mother-in-law opened the door and walked out of the yard, "You..." She looked at the three of them doubtfully.
"Mother-in-law, my friend told me that eating Yuanjia soup cakes while sitting on the steps is particularly delicious. Let's try it." Yu Sheng stepped forward to support her.
Although Feng'er didn't ask him, she knew that he would take good care of her parents.
