The three hundred and eighteenth chapter is because of the compassionate person
"Then, he picked up a cat from the river." Ulan recalled the scene of that day in a daze, and then murmured.
"Cat?" Shisheng blinked, and then asked curiously: "Why did he jump into the river with his cat?"
Ulan smiled, then said to Shisheng: "Why did you think of going together with me at that time? I thought so at that time, but now thinking about it, what he told me at that time should be the truth."
Speaking of this, Ulan paused for a moment before smiling: "I remember that he was like the cat, and he was wet all over, with a vegetable leaf thrown by someone's house on his head. He couldn't tell whether it was river water or tears in his eyes..."
It was early morning and there were not many pedestrians by the bridge. Just after Master Xingxiao came ashore, Ulan hurriedly ran over and asked him: Do you know how to water? But why do you want to jump into the river?
At that time, Taoist Master Xingxiao shrugged, then gently stroked the trembling cat in his arms with his hands, and then said gently: It stole other people's buns and was thrown into the river.
It turned out that Master Xingxiao woke up very early and saw a refueler in the distance carrying a trembling cat on the bridge. The refueler beat the cat while walking, and scolded repeatedly: It's so bad that you, a miscellaneous beast, were ruined by you, a miscellaneous beast. If you don't beat me to death, how can you eliminate the hatred in my heart?
After saying that, the updater smashed the cat hard from the bridge into the water. Liu Xingxiao hurriedly ran forward. Seeing that the cat had not yet been washed away, he stabbed it violently.
That's it. But at that time, Ulan looked at Xingxiao and looked at the river with broken ice. You know, this is in the north, although it is already spring. The climate is still cold in the morning and night. In the morning before the sun rose, this man actually jumped into the river for a cat?
How could there be such a stupid person?
Anyway, Wulan was a little skeptical about Xingxiao's reason, so she asked Xingxiao: "Why do you want to save it? You raised it?"
"No." Xing Xiao took off the rotten vegetable leaves on his head, and then said to Ulan with a little embarrassed look: "It's just that there are cubs in his belly. If his child has not seen this world, he will die. Wouldn't that be a pity?"
While speaking, Xingxiao covered the cat's belly with her hands. The cat's breasts screamed, and Xingxiao raised her head and smiled at Ulan. At that moment, the sun had just risen, and the rays of light covered the earth. Although the weather was very cold, Xingxia's smile was so warm.
"What?" After hearing the scene of his father and mother's first encounter, Shisheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. There is a saying that goes, "Old cat sleeps in the room, and passes on generations to generation." Although he doesn't want to admit it, he must admit that he does have the characteristics of his parents, which is engraved in his blood. He has no choice but to refute it.
When Ulan heard Shisheng ask about her later, she said gently: "Then……………………… and then he lay down."
What are you doing when you lie down?! Shisheng asked quickly: "Why do you lie down?"
Ulan said softly, "I'm hungry. I asked him what's wrong. At first he was embarrassed, but his stomach kept screaming. It turned out that he hadn't eaten for nearly ten days."
At that time, Ulan thought Xingxiao was very special. How could he describe it? He was so angry that he was a human being, but Xingxiao didn’t. He gave people the feeling that people were truly harmless. Standing there, it was like a tree.
This is the best description of Ulan who could think of him. When Ulan saw that he was pitiful, he asked him to wait. He ran home all the way home and took two pieces of overnight cakes for him to eat. Xingxiao saw that he had eaten his eyes and his eyes were green, but he did not eat it first, but chewed the cake and fed it to the cat for two bites, and then he started eating it voraciously.
Shisheng could fully imagine the scene at that time, but he thought to himself: What a bad person, he still has to show off his strength if his qi and meridians are disabled. How can he say he is good?
Although he thought so in his heart, he gradually gained a new understanding of Xingxiao in his subconscious mind.
Seeing that Ulan held her cheeks with her hands, which seemed to be still deposited in the memories at that time, Shisheng couldn't help but cough dryly, and then said, "Where will it be after that?"
"Don't you ask why that person is so weird?" Ulan blinked and said, "You guys met before?"
"I don't know." Shisheng said hurriedly: "I'm just curious, so I just asked casually."
After hearing what he said, Ulan didn't think much about it, so she said, "The man thanked me later. Are you all foreigners so polite? I told him not to thank him, and then he left. Well, I didn't expect to see him again the next day."
Ulan paused again and then said gently: "The next afternoon, I saw him being beaten by four or five Tao Ranju's men. After those people left, I stepped forward to help him, and then I saw a mouse wrapped in his arms..."
It turned out that the shop had a sensation, so the shopkeeper put a mouse cage in the corner. Kexing laughed and saw the mouse trapped in the cage, so he let it go, and then he beat him up.
Where is this? Shisheng immediately laughed and cried, thinking: Is this person's sympathy too much? Not only did he dive for a cat, but he was beaten for a mouse?
For a moment, Shisheng didn't know what to say, and at this moment, Ulan still said softly: "And yesterday, I saw him pulling out a half-dead fish from the well outside the inn..."
"Okay, stop talking." Shisheng lowered his head while covering his head with his hands and said weakly to Ulan: "He must have crossed the well to 'rescue' that fish."
"Yes." Ulan said, "It's very strange that this person, I've never seen such a person before."
It's strange.
Shisheng felt that his head was so messy that he was laughing at his father. He became increasingly confused about what kind of person he was.
So Shisheng sighed to Ulan: "So you met like this? Did he tell you his name?"
Wulan shook her head and said to Shisheng with a blushing face: "No. I only know that he came from a place called 'Bashu'. He has been in the city for the past few days, and his stomach seems to be hungry. I wanted to give him some food, but my father discovered it, so there was no way. I asked you to help me today."
"Don't your father want you to give him food?" Shisheng asked.
Ulan sighed and then said, "No, my father is also a Buddhist. He used to be kind and charitable. It's just that he mistakenly helped a bad person. Now that he has become a slave trader, his father feels sad. He doesn't want me to help others as easily as him. He said that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. If you save a evil wolf, he will only hurt more people in the future... But that person is obviously a good person. So..."
So, she still developed a favorable impression of her father who was helpless.
Thinking of this, Shisheng sighed, "You can't even take care of someone like him. What do you like about him?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Wulan hit Shisheng's words and blushed and said embarrassedly: "I just saw him pitiful and wanted to help him more. Moreover, I could see that although his body was dirty, his heart was cleaner than anyone else."
Ulan said that for a period of time, a trend of "goodness" occurred among the royal family of the Northern Kingdom. During that period, the nobles and men were vegetarian and "do good" to accumulate virtue. They would walk to the streets with great fanfare. If they encountered stray cats and dogs, they would pick them up and adopt them. The subordinates would flatter them from the side, saying that the men were the kindest people in the world.
But this trend has been popular for a while. Ulan once saw a famous family and a prominent family carrying a puppy from a bitch with "full love". When the bitch saw that the child was taken away, Wangwang screamed and wanted to follow him. When the prominent family saw that the bitch was dirty, they frowned and kicked him away. After the servants came forward to kill the bitch, they began to flatter the owner.
In the eyes of some people, kindness is just a tool for profit or show-off.
"Compared with those people, although this person is poor, he is much more kind than them. I think this is the most important thing for a person." When Ulan said this, she smiled and said to Shisheng, "Did you think you don't?"
Shisheng was stunned. He could not refute what his mother said.
Indeed, what is the most important thing for a person? Is it money? It shouldn't be. Think about Qian Wenru of Macheng back then, who had the wealth of the enemy country, but he was selfish and insidious. In the end, he not only harmed his future, but also harmed the entire Macheng together with him.
Is it power? No, not, because in his time and space, the person with the strongest power is the old thief Qiao Zimu, but he is evil and greedy, and his power is the nightmare of the innocent people in the world.
From this we can see that kindness is the most important thing for a person. If a person loses his kindness, no matter how powerful you have, he will only plant evil causes in the end, and will be punished with evil consequences in the future. Shi Sheng has really seen too much about such a cycle of cause and effect.
But it was strange that even after knowing Xingxiao's character, Shisheng still didn't want to admit this father in his heart. The reason was very simple, because no matter how kind he was, he still paid someone in the end.
A lover who is willing to wait for him for life.
If this knot in the heart is not untied, you will never be able to let go of it in your life.
However, he was not overly concerned about this at that time. After all, for him, this time is extremely precious and he wants to spend it with his mother.
"It's not too early." After chatting for a while, Ulan stood up and smiled at Shisheng and said, "I should go back, or my father wants to talk about me again. Really, I've been chatting with you for so long, and some people have to say so much. I don't know why I'm telling you this. You, you won't laugh at me."
"How could that happen?" Shisheng stood up and said, "Me too. I feel very friendly when I see you. In addition, I may be in the Northland these two days. If I don't dislike you, well, can I chat with you in the future?"
"Of course." Ulan picked up the basket and then said to Shisheng: "But you don't have to spend money next time, by the way, I'll give it to you."
While speaking, Ulan took out a wool glove from the basket and stuffed it into Shisheng's hand and said, "You have made so many clothes at my house. My father is sorry. Before going out, I asked me to spare you something. This is what I knitted last night, so I'll give it to you. It's still a little cold, don't get frozen... That, I'm leaving. See you next time, good friend."
After saying that, Ulan turned around and left, and looked at his back. Shisheng was stunned for a while, and saw him gently saying to Ulan's back: "Well, see you next time. Mother."
Putting on gloves, Shisheng's heart was very warm, because this was the first time he felt his mother's care so clearly. So after Ulan left, Shisheng sat under the tree and looked at the river in a daze. He was thinking about what his purpose was this time?
No matter what it is, in short, I don’t want to let my mother suffer anymore.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly popped up in Shisheng's mind: the tragedy of his mother happened about a year later, that is, the day when the demon star appeared in the sky, that day, Qiao Zimu, the old thief, would instigate the monarch of the northern kingdom to massacre pregnant women in the city. Now that he has been traveling a year ago, why not kill the old thief when he has not had the chance to do evil?
Yes! If Qiao Zimu is done now, many tragedies may not happen in the future. Although Xingxiao has not come back, his mother does not have to die, and his destiny will also change.
The feeling of fear that had happened again. If my mother was not dead, what would happen to me? If I no longer wandered, I would meet the monk master. Will I go to Doumi Temple?
This is indeed a big problem, because Shisheng has no idea what situation he will face if the original history is disrupted. If the world in the future is no longer the world that Shisheng has experienced, will Shisheng disappear because of this?
Of course, Shisheng didn't understand that if he could really change all this, he wouldn't have appeared here.
But no matter what, after seeing his mother, Shisheng decided to kill Qiao Zimu, not for anything else, but for his gentle mother.
Shi Sheng had made up his mind, and after making up his mind, he stood up and strode towards the long street.
After crossing this street, Shisheng quickly came to the mansion where Guantian sacrificed, standing outside the house, Shisheng's heart was beating wildly. Although the "Real Picture" gave him a journey of cause and effect, what he had to do now was to break this cause and effect.
After today, there is no more Qiao Zimu.
Thinking of this, Shisheng clenched his fists, and at this moment, a servant guarding outside the house saw Shisheng standing there in a daze, and then stepped forward and rushing: "Go and go, why are you standing here? Do you know where this is?"
Shisheng looked at the servant, then said coldly: "Where is Qiao Zimu?"
"Bold!" The servant saw that Shisheng dared to call his adult name directly, and immediately raised his stick and said angrily: "Where did you come from? You dare to call his adult name directly? I think you are impatient!"
After saying that, the man held the stick and beat it, and Shisheng lifted the stick away with a little finger. The servant fell to the ground. Shisheng stepped forward and grabbed his collar and shouted coldly: "If you still want to save your life, tell me where Qiao Zimu is. Do you understand? If you dare to grow, believe it or not, I will cut off your neck now?"
Seeing that Shisheng had such divine power, the servant was frightened, so he didn't have the arrogant look he had before? He hurriedly nodded and begged for mercy, "Good man, go for your life, go for your life! You are looking for my master, but my master is not here!"
"Fart." Shisheng frowned and said, "Where can he go if he is not here? I advise you to explain honestly, otherwise your next sentence will be the last sentence in your life."
"I don't know even if you kill me!" The servant cried and said, "He is really not here. He left two months ago. This is something everyone in the city knows. Why don't you know? That, help, help!"
The location of Qiao Mansion is not remote. It was not dark at this time. The pedestrians around him stopped after seeing this. However, when they saw Shisheng pressing the servant, they didn't dare to care. They just watched the fun and whispered: "What's going on? Why are there anyone in Lord Qiao's servants dare to fight now?"
"You know what a fool." A person next to him continued: "This is called "the wall is falling and everyone pushes it. Who is favored by anyone in the palace? Since the arrival of "Master Yan", we Lord Qiao, we, have also avoided the limelight, have obviously never done it."
"It's like you've entered the palace." Another person next to him interrupted, "But what you said makes sense. Lord Qiao really fell out of favor this time. Oh, I didn't say that I was hiding from the quiet, but also humiliated my servants. I'm afraid the scenery of Qiao's mansion will no longer be there."
Shisheng heard these passers-by's words sincerely, so he sank in his heart and said to the servant: "What's going on? What are the people next to him saying? Why is Qiao Zimu not here? I'll let you go after you say it, hurry up."
Seeing that life was hopeless, the servant dared not have any reservations, so he solved everything he knew.
It turned out that Qiao Zimu was not in the northern country now. The reason for his departure was that half a year ago, a mage named Yan came from the northern country.
We have talked about Qiao Zi's life experience before. As the heir of the Yilu lineage, he served as the "Sky Sacrifice" of this generation of northern countries, and was responsible for praying for blessings, astrology, and solving dreams. If something evil happened in the city, he would go and resolve it. This was an official position that could not be defeated, but the kings in this area were a waste who was bored with the new and tired of the old.
Just half a year ago, a wizard who claimed to have returned from overseas cultivation came to the North Country. He said that there was a strange treasure to appear in my king. The king of the North Country was bored in the palace and met this person. The treasure presented by this person was considered a masterpiece. It was rumored that they were two small golden men, three inches old. The golden men had a mouth, and they could sing operas with each other as long as others hit their high fives.
The King of Northern Kingdom was very happy when he saw this treasure, so he rewarded the master heavily. The master knew a lot of magic tricks, which made the King of Northern Kingdom very happy. So he left it by his side.
But one mountain cannot withstand two tigers, especially Qiao Zimu, who is cruel and vengeful, so I heard that Qiao Zimu had found an opportunity to compete with the mage more than once on Wang Yan, wanting to move back to a game, but the mage's supernatural skills were so clever that Qiao Zimu was defeated several times, and he was also disgraced.
Because of this, the prestige of "Sacrifice to the Heaven" suddenly decreased in the court, and even the king of the northern king ignored him. When Qiao Zimu saw that the situation was not good, he would not be able to lose his status if he stayed here again. So he was forced to take the leave of the king and left the northern kingdom because he was forced to go far and pray for blessings.
When we talked about this, the servant cried and said, "My master only brought his apprentice before leaving, so we really don't know where he is!"
Shisheng heard what he said in an orderly manner, and indirectly proved the matter from the passers-by, so he had to slowly let go of the servant's collar, then turned around without saying a word.
He didn't go far because he knew that Qiao Zimu was scheming, so he disturbed him for a while and came to Qiaofu's side. He jumped into the yard. After a careful investigation, Shisheng felt powerless: It seemed that the servant did not lie to me, and now that old thief really didn't come here anymore.
Shisheng was feeling regretful and relieved at that time. It seemed that he was destined to be escaped by the old thief. It seemed that this future was still inevitable?
After leaving Qiao Mansion Courtyard, the sun was about to set. I have been here for a day. Shisheng has gained nothing except seeing his parents. Now that the old thief escapes, Shisheng still doesn't know what his purpose is.
In this way, Shisheng walked along the street with a feeling of gain and loss, and turned the corner. He was slightly stunned because he actually saw his "unfair" father in front of him again.
At this time, Xingxiao was picking up stones in his arms on the street, and he didn't know what he was going to do. When Shisheng saw him, Xingxiao also discovered Shisheng. He saw that he stood up and smiled humbly at Shisheng. After chatting with Ulan for a long time, Shisheng had a further understanding of Xingxiao. So seeing that he was still so down and out, Shisheng couldn't help but step forward. Before he could speak, Xingxiao spoke first, and saw that he said to Shisheng, "Brother, you haven't left yet."
Shisheng nodded, then sighed: "What are you doing for picking up stones?"
Yes, why did he pick up the stone? Is he going to save the stone this time? If this is the case, then Shisheng really has nothing to say.
Who would have thought that, then looked at Shisheng with a smile, and then whispered to him: "Miss Ulan may be in trouble."
