Chapter 71

Ma Shi walked quickly down the street with a round package on his back.

The remote city is full of desolation, and in the distance is a lonely small earthen house sandwiched between two rocky recesses.

When he got closer, he saw an old woman sitting at the door of the house. Although her eyes were slightly closed, her hands were nimbly threading a needle.

He ran quickly, and the moccasins brought up a speck of mud on the muddy dirt road.

Pushing open the simple fence door, Ma Shi looked at her worn-out thin shirt that was completely inconsistent with the snow, and said distressedly: "Mother, why did you run out again?"

Hearing the voice, the old woman looked over, with a simple smile on the deep wrinkles on her face.

"The sun is out, and there is no cold wind. I will come out to dry and sew the clothes."

Ma Shi walked in quickly, opened the package, and found a poorly made but very thick animal fur coat, which was still a little hard to pinch.

Turning around and coming behind the old lady: "Mother, stop, my son will put on some clothes for you."

As soon as the old lady was stunned, Ma Shi had already put on a sleeve for her.

Feeling the warmth, the old woman was startled: "Son, didn't you spend your money carelessly?"

While dressing her, Ma Shi said: "No, mother, I thought about it today, and I still think I should buy some thick clothes. Winter has just arrived, otherwise the night will be too difficult, and this thick animal skin clothes, let's go Afterwards, it can be worn every autumn and winter, and it can be used to keep out the cold at night all year round, so it’s not a waste.”

Having said that, the old lady felt very distressed.

"Ouch! Why are you buying this for me? Stop it, I don't wear it, I'm an old blind man, I stay at home and don't need to go out, I leave this for you and my younger brother to wear!"

"No, I bought it for him too."

"you……"

"Mom, don't feel bad. I just found someone, and they will come to repair the house tomorrow. I will still have some money left over later. I plan to make a small living. I can't just rely on being a guide. I don't know when I will have money." Guest. Besides, my younger brother has been in the city lord's mansion for almost a year, and his wages will rise sharply in the future. Our life will only get better and better, and it will not be worse than it is now!"

The old lady was silent, but there were tears in her eyes.

After dressing her up, Ma Zhi smiled: "Mom, is it warm?"

The old woman nodded again and again: "Warm, very warm!"

At dusk, Matu came back with grain on one shoulder and a bag full of rags on the other.

Ma Zhi called out in surprise: "Pony?"

Ma Tu lowered his head slightly, covered his face with long hair, and said in a low voice, "The city lord has something to do, the housekeeper asked us to go home."

Ma Shi breathed a sigh of relief, he thought his younger brother would come back by himself or be fired.

"Go home, put your things down for a while, and eat right away."

Ma Tu entered the door silently.

During the meal, when Ma Tu accidentally raised his head, Ma Shi saw the expression on Ma Shi's face. Ma Shi wanted to ask, but he was concerned about the old lady beside him, so he temporarily kept his mouth shut.

After dinner, he pulled Ma Tu out.

"Little Ma, why is your face so pale? Are you sick?" Ma Zhi asked with concern, while reaching out to put his hand on his brother's forehead.

Ma Tu didn't have time to get out of the way, he couldn't help but froze, then shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

"It's really not hot, but it's a bit cold. It's too cold, right? Go in and put on the animal fur clothes. Tonight, our brothers also have thick quilts. We will surely have a warm and peaceful sleep."

Ma Tu hummed and frowned slightly.

……

The hot air in the bathtub filled the air, and the room was as warm as spring.

Wang Li leaned back slightly, staring at a huge and clear "screen" in front of him.

In the screen is a house, in which Shu Yao is sitting.

At this moment, the Shushan Sword Cultivator in Yuanshen Realm frowned, with sharp eyes, and unceremoniously reprimanded the old man kneeling in front of him.

The Taoist Fuliu with white beard and hair is grabbing the ground with his head at this moment, trembling, he doesn't see his previous appearance of being immortal and elegant.

"Did I tell you that whenever a monk enters Anping City, he must report to me immediately?"

Taoist Fuliu raised his head and knocked down heavily: "Master, this disciple knows his mistake!"

"Know it? What's the use of telling me now! All the gates and entrances of the city are arranged, even your White Tiger Temple, and you can't do such a small thing as monitoring whether there are monks entering the city! I see you The White Tiger Temple raises a bunch of trash!"

"Master forgives the sin, and the disciple will strictly investigate when he returns..."

Hearing this, Shu Yao couldn't help kicking Taoist Fuliu on the shoulder, and immediately kicked him so that he rolled over and over again, and his arm broke immediately, and it only drooped loosely.

Shu Yao pointed at him and scolded sharply: "You're trash too! I'll tell you about this, and after you tell someone else, will you forget it?"

Taoist Fuliu hurriedly knelt down again: "It's all the disciple's fault, please master to calm down."

"If I hadn't calmed down my anger for a long time, your head would have fallen into the White Tiger Temple! Let me tell you, if it wasn't for that kid..." Shu Yao paused suddenly, and after a violent change in his complexion, he groaned heavily: "If something goes wrong, I guarantee that you will die even if you want to!"

Taoist Fuliu kowtowed continuously, and with the bang bang, the ground was soon stained with blood.

After a while, Shu Yao sat down and said angrily, "Okay! You're young, don't knock yourself to death!"

Only then did Taoist Fuliu stop, and when he raised his head, his face was bright red, his white hair was close to his cheeks, and he was in a state of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Shu Yao frowned again.

"After you go back, throw out all the people in Baihuguan. I don't care what others say, but I must make sure that there will be no problems. Otherwise, it will not be me, but Shushan who will trouble them!"

Taoist Fuliu's old body trembled suddenly, and immediately responded: "I obey!"

"roll!"

"Yes!" Taoist Fuliu got up and left quickly.

Shu Yao sat still, with an extremely serious expression.

Inside the restaurant.

Wang Li was not surprised by Shu Yao's performance and words, on the contrary, what he saw now was more in line with his initial psychological cognition of Shu Yao.

In any case, Shu Yao is also a sword cultivator in the fourth realm. He has cultivated the primordial spirit and has the sword intent in his body. According to the disciples of Shushan Mountain, Yuanshen Realm can be regarded as the backbone of Shushan Mountain; he is the guardian of a prefecture outside, and his status is equal to that of the White Tiger Mountain God, Anping Land, and the City God of the Underworld.

Strength, background, identity, everything is missing.

Only when facing Wang Li, his identity and background were crushed to a certain extent.

But I still have to mention that sentence: Strength is the most important foundation.

Therefore, when Shu Yao received his orders, it may be true that he felt fear and trembling for a moment due to his identity, background, power oppression and his own behavior, but it was inevitable that he would face Wang Li's various performances after he went upstairs. mixed with acting elements.

If Wang Li was just a 14-year-old kid in this world, then he might really believe it.

The so-called life is like a play.Not only must you be able to act, but you must also be able to tell whether others are acting.

Wang Li stared at Shu Yao who fell silent on the screen.

He had already decided that something was wrong with Shu Yao, after all, he had said a lot of things, but he hadn't said anything about the Yunyu Pavilion's large formation drawing vitality into the Yin Qi vortex in the sky. He might think that it was impossible for Wang Li to find out about this problem.Unless Shu Yao didn't see through the big formation of Yunyu Pavilion, but this possibility gradually tended to zero with the audio-visual just now.

Of course, Shu Yao didn't reveal anything in his words, and every word he said seemed to be very suitable to be interpreted from all directions.

Conversely, it is precisely because of this that Shu Yao's cunning is shown, and his deliberation is also revealed.

The water leaves traces, and the geese leave a sound.

Unless Shu Yao kept completely silent after seeing Wang Li, as long as he moved, he would definitely leave clues.

But a person who already has a guilty conscience will always think about doing something to make up or cover up.

Once suspicion arises, charges are immediately established.

Wang Li didn't care whether he made a presumption of guilt without conclusive evidence from the very beginning, after all, he hadn't directly ruled for murder for the time being.

Besides, take a hundred million steps back and say... my grandfather is the master of law enforcement!
After thinking for a while, Shu Yao on the screen stood up, and with the appearance of a few strange faces, he also lost his seriousness just now.

Wang Li smiled, put away the talisman astrolabe, and got out of the bath to change clothes.

As night falls, go out and go straight to Yunyu Pavilion.
