Bitter? Speaking of the word bitter, the expression on Old Man Su's face became even more sad. The old man was just an old man. Even though he was now richer, he was no different from the ordinary old man in Puying City back then. He was even worse.
.
He didn't have much ability. When he was young, he just relied on coolies to live. When he was in his thirties, he saved enough money to marry and have children. So he needed to support more people and work harder to live on coolies. However, coolies are such
Naturally, the more painful things are, the more powerful they are, and the more powerful they are, the more painful they are, or in other words, the more physically painful they are.
So when he was nearly fifty years old, all kinds of physical problems had appeared, so he was very weak and could no longer work hard. And if he could not work hard, he was destined to be unable to live, or life would become increasingly miserable. So he
Even his wife, whom he had finally married, left him because she could no longer bear the pain...
The leaky house happens to rain all night, and the tragic things in the world are always surprisingly similar. Fortunately, even the heaviest and coldest rain will always pass one day. Fortunately, old man Su still has a daughter.
Su Meier is his most beloved daughter, a good daughter he depends on for life, and she is also his pride. Because Su Meier was selected into Lingyun College in Puying City when she was very young, and the college did not charge any fees.
.And as Su Meier grew up, she could always get a lot of scholarships.
Those scholarships ranged from dozens of gold coins at the beginning, to hundreds of gold coins, and even tens of thousands of gold coins later! Old man Su sometimes thought, how could an ordinary small-town college issue so many scholarships?
Didn’t his cute and sensible little Meier do something bad? But even though he thought about it, he never dared to believe it, or in other words, he thought it was impossible. So he could only put it all into perspective.
All thanks to his daughter being so outstanding.
Later, Su Meier was admitted to Qianwu Academy, one of the four colleges in the royal city. This confirmed Old Man Su’s thoughts. He thought that his daughter was indeed exceptionally good. Otherwise, not many people in Puying City would be able to enter.
How could my daughter pass the exam for the Fourth Academy of the Imperial City?
It is precisely because of this excellence that life began to get better and better, allowing him to hold his head high in the entire Puying City, allowing him to hold his head high in front of his originally arrogant wealthy relatives, and even allowing him to move out of the slums of Puying City.
You can even afford to buy a small courtyard in a place like Wangcheng where there is so much money and so little land.
But who would have thought that the standing royal city would mutiny, causing everyone to fall into panic. Although after the mutiny, Qianwu Academy did not suffer any damage, the small courtyard where he was located,
He was not disturbed. He did not know whether the people who initiated the mutiny were from the Qianwu Academy, nor did he know that those at the top always liked to fight and fight.
Want to do something.
He only knew that since it was a mutiny, regardless of who was good or who was bad, the lives of the people at the bottom would not be easy. The simplest example is that the house of his neighbor, Old Man Li, whom he had just known for a few months, had been ransacked.
Once it was empty, everyone died, and naturally no one could play chess with him. So, he wanted to go back to Puying City and play chess with the old man Zhang who could make candy figures and was also good at chess.
Of course, he wants to go back not just because he wants to play chess. Because he is already old. Although the age of fifty or sixty may still be very young for those powerful warriors, for him, it is indeed already He is very old, and he has even clearly seen that his final fate is coming quietly along with the night.
However, fallen leaves always return to their roots. This rotten leaf of his has never been able to drift out of Puyong City for almost his whole life, but he has seen the final prosperity of the Royal City in the last few months. After seeing it, he should naturally be satisfied. It’s time to return to our roots.
Therefore, he thought about it alone for a long time last night, and then made a very willful request to Su Meier. He wanted to return to Puying City. This request did seem a bit willful at this special moment, after the city closure order was issued.
But his daughter, who has always been obedient, met his request again without any surprise. Just like a few months ago, after he learned that his daughter had been admitted to Qianwu Academy, he said very willfully that he wanted to visit the royal city. As soon as she saw it, Su Meier still agreed without hesitation.
However, at this moment, when he saw the people with dull and frightened eyes squatting not far away from the city gate, when he saw dozens of cold corpses and freshly dried blood lying in front of the city gate, when he saw When he saw the indifferent faces of the city guards and the blood stains on the scabbards, he suddenly realized that leaving the city was far more difficult and dangerous than he thought. And the request he made last night, It was really too willful. So he began to become more and more uneasy.
"Actually, it's not bad to continue to stay in the city." Old man Su said to Su Meier with a dry smile, using his smile to cover up his uneasiness and his smile to pretend to be calm.
Su Mei'er didn't speak, she just patted the old man's shoulder to express comfort. At this moment, her petite figure and young face looked more like an elder.
She was just thinking that it was not easy for her to live for so long, and it was even more difficult for an old man to grow up. Although sometimes it was difficult to survive, and the means used to live a better life were also very unbearable. . She may even think that she is as miserable as the mother she once hated who remarried for money, or even worse.
However, life is finally a little easier now, and since life has become a little easier, she will try her best to meet the old man's requirements. In other words, this is also some kind of comfort and satisfaction for herself.
"What are you doing!" Just when Su Mei'er and Old Man Su were within five steps of the city gate, several city guards immediately pulled out their knives still covered in blood and glared at the two.
"Going out of the city to do business." Su Meier turned her hands and took out a token from her body and said.
The token is naturally the token of Qianwu Academy. Nowadays, Daqian King City is dominated by the anti-king faction. Among the anti-king faction, except for the big man who has never seen the dragon, and the big man brought by that big man. In addition to several powerful people, they were naturally led by those from Qianwu Academy and the four great envoys.
And since this charming woman in front of her has a token from the Qianwu Academy and is out of the city on business, these little soldiers naturally dare not stop her.
However, after all, the anti-king faction has issued an order to close the city, so even if the people from Qianwu Academy go out to do things, they still have to see what they are doing. For example, an hour ago, everyone from Qianwu Academy and even the direct subordinates of the four royal guards of the royal city, They all had to go out of the city to attack Wolong Mountain. Naturally, they didn't dare to stop such a big event, or even ask about it.
However, the woman in front of her took an old and frail old man out of the city to do business? This may not seem a little suspicious.
"I hope you two can forgive me." A middle-aged man who was obviously a small leader in the army said with a smile: "We dare not neglect the city closure order, so we still need to report this matter to Mr. Jia."
Su Meier wrinkled. She had heard of Mr. Jia, because he was also from the Qianwu Academy. The only difference was that he was from the Anbu of the Qianwu Academy. And the so-called Anbu was naturally in many He committed some wrongdoings years ago and was even wanted by the whole country. He was almost desperate, but because he was very capable, he was secretly taken in by Qianwu Academy. He was also a person who used to be invisible to the public.
Now that Daqian King City has fallen, those who could not see the light of day before can naturally see the light and even become the best among human beings.
Su Meier vaguely knew this, but didn't care much about it. After all, those things had nothing to do with her. She was just a little unhappy because she couldn't leave the city directly because she showed the Qianwu Academy token.
The soldier held the token and quickly climbed up to a tower next to the city wall. There were two people in the tower, an older man wearing armor, and a young man, chatting and drinking.
There are only two reasons for men to drink. One is drinking among friends. People who love wine are very passionate and drink while talking loudly. The other is drinking because of interests, such as the interests of businessmen. Or other benefits.
At this time, the young people looked reserved and even nodded and bowed from time to time while drinking. It was obvious that they were not drinking for friendship at this time, but for profit.
"Senior Brother Jia, last night you led people to attack the three major colleges in one fell swoop. You are really unrivaled..." The young man praised repeatedly, although he also knew that there were no people in the three major colleges last night, let alone any strong ones. But he still told this matter vividly and used all the words of praise, pushing this warrior with the sixth level of Yin and Yang to a height like a god.
He is also a student of Qianwu Academy, and a freshman of this class. So he knows very well that this senior brother who used to hide in the dark department of Qianwu Academy and has good cultivation will definitely be a great person in the future, so he must Take advantage of the fact that the other person's status is not high enough to build a good relationship with the other person.
Mr. Jia laughed heartily. Although he knew that these were all lies, he still couldn't hide the happiness in his heart. In other words, just because he was no longer hiding his head and tail like before, this was enough to make him happy.
The young man saw that Mr. Jia was happy, so he was also very happy, and the topic at the men's wine table always involved talking about women, so he thought for a moment and said: "Well, there is just one thing that is really important to you, Senior Brother Jia." There is some regret, or loss."
"Oh? What loss?" Mr. Jia frowned slightly, thinking why did this kid who had been flattering him suddenly say such an unpleasant sentence? However, even though he was unhappy, this sentence successfully provoked him some interests.
While the two were chatting and laughing, and an unknown little conspiracy was still brewing, suddenly a peacock figure whizzed past. Perhaps because the peacock flew too high and too fast, the city wall However, thousands of soldiers failed to see the figure of the peacock, and the two people chatting happily in the city tower also failed to sense a powerful presence on the peacock.
But the young man standing on the peacock saw everything below. He saw the sergeants in front of the city gate, saw the blood in front of the city gate, saw the people with empty eyes, and saw the people blocked by the sergeants.
The old man, and the red dress of the familiar woman next to the old man.
However, even though he saw it, he did nothing in the end. He just looked at another place in the distance with an indifferent expression, passing quickly from the high altitude above the city gate, and then swooping down somewhere.
Perhaps due to some kind of fate, while the peacock was flying high in the sky, Xiao Meier suddenly raised her head, glanced at the peacock calmly, and saw a certain figure on the peacock.
However, although she saw it, she couldn't see it clearly after all. She saw it but couldn't see it clearly. This seemed to be some kind of fate, so the two people who had been close to each other and had many pretty good memories looked at each other like this.
