If the Water Margin

Chapter 321 Past and Present (Favorites)

"Yes, I also sold pancakes in Qinghe County a few years ago. I was born there. I never left Qinghe County before I arrived at Yanggu. Wu Zhi took the initiative to say these things. He couldn't stand the old lady's endless problems, and these problems were to say his situation first, plus a sentence, such a passive admission made Wuzhi very desperate.

Wuzhi will not forget that a few years ago, he also had a murder case in Qinghe. He killed the official named Shen Qi on the street, but Wuzhi thought it had already passed, but today the old lady actually asked Qinghe, which only shows that... everything is not over yet. It seems that only Wu Song and Pan Jinlian know about this matter. Pan Jinlian has gone far away and it is impossible to come to the capital to sue Wuzhi. It must be Wu Song. When he issued a wanted notice, he felt that it was necessary to report the murder case many years ago. On the one hand, Wu Song still had this kind of non-in-go. Net things.

But no matter how angry Wuzhi is, he can't deny that these people were killed by him. He, a dwarf, has unconsciously become a murderer. Thinking about it, there are indeed so many people dying at his hands, and this life is enough. I have slept with beautiful women and killed so many people. That's enough. That's enough. Wuzhi kept saying this to himself to dilute the fear of death. But no matter what method is used to resolve this fear, it has not faded away at all. Wuzhi's calf is shaking gently. This time, no one will come out to help him. Wu Zhi's younger brother, who was like a divine soldier, would never suddenly appear again, and then blocked all life-threatening things outside and carried everything on his shoulders. There were so many times that when the danger came, Wu Zhi only needed to hide in the shadow behind Wu Song to survive safely.

After those several escapes, Wuzhi even had a natural feeling in his heart, thinking that this brother should appear when he was in danger. Who let Wu Song be raised by him? This is just his kindness. It is also because of this that although Wuzhi was afraid, he never really faced death. He even felt that the king of hell would ignore his existence because his body was too short. As long as he bowed his head and came to ask for his life, he would return in failure because he could not find him.

Now he understands that his younger brother is no longer around. Why did he have so many quarrels with his brother? Although Wuzhi himself has also understood many times that it is not necessary to happen. There was no conflict between the two brothers before, but his deformed brother just wants to prove that Stronger than Wu Song. Yes, a dwarf can be stronger, braver and more decisive than a hero, but the hero always stands in front of him, so that the dwarf has no chance to show. If there is such an opportunity that the hero is not present, the dwarf will become a real hero in the face of danger. Such a bridge has been staged countless times in Wuzhi's mind with various names. He is immersed in this illusion and ignores his brother more and more.

Until now.

Wuzhi was only facing an old man, and the old man did not say anything to take his life. He just didn't want to listen to him recommend dishes, but just wanted to ask his origin, but the imaginary dwarf hero was so scared that his legs trembling and lost consciousness. His courage in dreams, with the beautiful flowers in summer, withered early before the arrival of the ice and snow.

"Young man, I'll give you another chance to correct everything you just said." The old man's face is like a calm lake, and he can't see any waves: "But this will be the last chance to correct it. I can forgive all the lies you said before. Now you can say it."

"My name is Wuzhi, a native of Qinghe County. Later, I moved to Yanggu County because of the incident. Half a month ago, I left Yanggu and came to the capital because of family affairs to achieve a career." Wuzhi connected what he had just said. Although he was sure that the old lady had mastered the materials of his murder, human life was at risk. In any case, Wuzhi would not take the initiative to admit that he did these things.

After hearing this, the old lady didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and sighed after a long time: "Very good, very good. Young man, you are finally here."

There is no doubt that this is the most weird conversation that Wuzhi has experienced for so many years. When he felt that he was bound to die, everything seemed to have taken a turn. It seemed that the appearance of Wuzhi had brought infinite comfort to the old lady, and it seemed that the old lady had been waiting for Wuzhi here for a long time, which made him The bottom is confused.

Is the old lady a neighbor when she was in Qinghe? This reason seemed to make a statement, but Wuzhi immediately denied the idea. He lived in the poorest area of Qinghe County. How could there be such a large official there? Moreover, the old lady made it clear that she had been waiting for a long time, which meant that someone had told her in advance that Wu Zhi would come. Neighbors can only meet these two conditions of knowing and knowing, but they can't explain and know the mystery in advance.

Wuzhi doesn't want to bear it passively. Waiting will never have an answer. Ancestor, your question confused me. Can you show mercy and tell the villain what's going on?

"Young man, sit down, I'll say it slowly." The old lady stretched out her hand and pointed to the seat she had just brought to Wuzhi, and then she returned to her seat and sat down slowly.

Wu Zhi's trembling legs have recovered a lot. He stood up, held the chair and sat down. This time, he completely leaned against the back of the chair and stretched himself completely. At this time, Wu Zhi found that the chair brought by the maid just now was more close than the normal chair, and it was precisely because of this that he could only sit half of his buttocks before kneeling down. Wuzhi thought that this should also be the reason for the "manuation". Maybe he met the old lady's servants and could only do this kind of thing like a bench to show his humble identity. It seems that it is also good to be short. This kind of humble chair is suitable for a dwarf.

Wu Zhi hasn't sat so relaxed for a long time. The moment his back touched the back of the chair, he almost burst into tears. This feeling, as if he was still the shopkeeper of the Osmanthus Building, sitting behind the counter and leisurely looking at the busy guys and the diners who were changing their cups. Such days have passed less than half a month, but in memory, they are farther away than the days in Qinghe.

"This is a long story. My son Gao Yu, oh, yes, it's your captain. Maybe you don't usually call his name, but as a mother, I'm still used to calling my son's name. The lieutenant is not a lieutenant, which is for others. The old lady said slowly.

Is this still about Captain Gao? What may I have to do with Lieutenant Gao? Wuzhi didn't dare to interrupt, just listened.

"Gao Yu was idle when he was young and teased cats and dogs all day long. There was nothing to do. For this, his father kicked him out of the house and did not recognize his son. But my son is my mother's heart. No matter how unworthy it is, it is still my son. Because of this, I asked his father to divorce me, and I can't break up with my son. In his anger, his father really gave me up and kicked us mother and son out of the house. At that time, it was almost the same as now. It was freezing. Our mother had nowhere to go, so we had to move forward aimlessly. Young man, don't laugh at me. I was a woman. At that time, I only knew how to go forward, but I didn't know where to go, but I couldn't stop, because I knew that my son was still very young. He Far from being able to judge the direction of life, if I stop, he will have no backbone. In this way, our mother wandered for more than half a month, and the money on her body was almost clean. When we were kicked out by his father, we almost went out of the house. It was this little money that I secretly hid. That evening, I realized that I had no money to stay and eat tonight. I sat by the roadside with Gao Yu and didn't know what to do. I even felt that should our mother find a tree to hang himself? This idea flashes away. After all, people want to live. At this time, a very young nun came. The old lady's face showed a light for a moment.

"Nun?" Wu Zhi was puzzled, and the old lady's narrative was a little upside down. The appearance of this nun was also very unreasonable. There were indeed many monks, but the nuns, especially young nuns, did not come out to wander around.

"Yes, nun. The nun was very strange. She came directly to the front of our mother, then touched Gao Yu's head and said his name accurately. At that time, I was overjoyed and felt that this must be his father's soft-heartedness. He asked someone to look for us, but it was really strange to let the monks help find us. But when asked, the nun shook her head and denied it, which made me very disappointed and strange at the same time. The old lady said.

It's strange enough. Wuzhi understands this feeling too well, which is the same as the feeling of Wuzhi when the old lady accurately said Wuzhi's origin just now.

"Later, the nun said that she came here to find our mother. She can have a wonderful divination and can see through fate. She said that my son's fate is extraordinary and needs her guidance. The old lady said.
