My Weird Life

  Chapter 803 Eternal Sinking (22)

   "Lord Dongxiong, Lord Langkan, Lord Jeb... your sons and grandsons didn't make any changes on the first day.

  The next day they gathered a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in their respective manors.

  Today is the third day. They asked the servants to prepare a good carriage, but they stayed at home all day today and never went anywhere in the carriage. "

   Shi Du knelt on the dark red blanket in the main hall, performed dog salute to the Tubo Prime Minister Zhong Ji Jie who was seated at the top, and reported the movements of several Maxiang descendants that Zhong Ji Jie ordered them to monitor one by one.

   "Is it getting dark?"

  After hearing Shi Du's words, Zhong Jijie got up from behind the short desk, walked to the window opening, and pushed open the window panel.

  The sun trembled in the sky, about to sink under the plateau.

  The plateau will be shrouded in cold darkness.

   Shi Du lowered his head, and responded: "Lord Dongxiong, Lord Langkan, and the others may leave in a carriage after dark—their respective manors are guarded by people."

"Okay." Zhongba nodded, and said to his servant Du, "Send a letter to your subordinates so that they don't disturb my sons and grandchildren, just follow them and see where they end up just fine.

   Order them to turn back the same way, and I will reward them with gold beads, gold shells, and silver grains! "

"yes!"

Shi Du respectfully responded, and after getting Zhong Jijie's approval, he bent over and retreated slowly from the dimly-lit hall, transferred to his own 'Maben', turned into a gust of black wind, walked through the darkness, and passed by Zhong Jijie. The manors of the sons and grandsons of Jijiexiang conveyed the orders of Zhongjiexiang to the other servants who stayed in each manor one by one.

  He finally returned to Lord Dongxiong's manor, and pretended to be a slave in the manor, hiding here, waiting for the night to darken.

Lord Dongxiong was very kind to his slaves. He would allow them to sleep with their cows and sheep in their pens, and would give them fourteen spoonfuls of tsampa every day—he had just inherited this area from Zhong Jijie, which was close to 'logo'. 'The territory of the manor needs slaves to work hard for him, so that he can be extra merciful to the slaves in the manor.

  It has been more than eight months since he inherited this territory, and none of the slaves in his manor have died.

   is widely praised in the name of Lord Dongxiong's benevolence.

The descendants of the Maxiang family that Minister Zhong Jijie ordered Shi Du to monitor actually belonged to the category that had just inherited the territory, and even had not yet been allocated the territory. They have not yet fully learned to distinguish themselves from slaves. Those slaves were also more merciful, but Shi Du believed that when they got used to the current life, sooner or later they would become just like other orthodox nobles.

  Relying on the kindness of Lord Maxiang Dongxiong, Shi Du, like other slaves, was driven into the sheepfold, with only iron chains on his ankles and wrists, and was not imprisoned in that kind of horizontal wooden shackles.

  In the smelly sheep pen, he can still move his hands and feet freely.

  In the sheepfold, those stinky slaves picked up the sheep that hid in the dark corner one by one, and fell asleep with the warm fur of the sheep.

   Shi Du leaned against the wooden pillar, and while the other slaves were not paying attention, he forcibly pushed away an ewe that was approaching.

  The starlight outside the shed combined with the cold wind, blowing into the airy shed on all sides.

  Lord Dongxiong's manor fell into silence.

   This silence did not last long, and the sound of horseshoes began to become denser.

  The slaves, who had been tired all day, slept soundly holding the sheep. The waiter walked quietly to the shed door, raised his head slightly, and watched the scene outside.

  He sees—

  A luxuriously carved carriage was parked in front of the exquisite watchtower separated from the area where the slaves lived in the distance, and the horses kicked their hooves on the spot.

  Lord Maxiang Dongxiong's wife, concubines, and children boarded the carriage one by one.

   Not long after,

  The entire horse team started to march, passed through the gates in front of the two watchtowers, and ran all the way to the outside of the manor.

  Lord Ma Xiang took all the family members he could bring, rode in a carriage, and rushed to the legendary "under that hill"—a thought suddenly flashed in Shi Du's mind.

  The legend of 'under that hill' has been spread in Shenlingben religion.

According to the rumors, only those who have never killed innocent people or committed evil deeds can sense the location of the mysterious place when they hear the word "below that mountain" and go to "that mountain." Get off the post', that is, you can get eternal peace!

  Shi Du has dealt with too many shady things for Zhong Jijie, and the blood of innocent people stained on his hands is already extremely thick. When he heard the word "under that hill", he didn't feel any emotion.

  However, Dongxiong, Lang Kan and other descendants of the Maxiang family never killed anyone. Minister Zhong Jijie ordered Shidu to monitor them, naturally because they sensed the existence of "under that hill"—they abandoned their manor, only brought a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and their families, and they were ready to go to the 'Under that hill'!

  The miraculous power of 'under that hill' can actually make several descendants of the Ma Xiang family willing to abandon their current life of luxury and high status, and go to join it?

In other words, the Maxiang family has reached a critical juncture, and the life of the nobles and lords of the Maxiang family will eventually disappear in an instant like a mirror flower and a moon in water—so these descendants of the Maxiang family can let go of the current phantom , to pursue 'under that hill'?

However, these descendants of the Maxiang family sensed the location of "under that hill", but it does not mean that their wives, concubines, and children could also sense the location of "under that hill"—they brought their family People go to seek "under that hill", can that mysterious place give them a response?

  Thoughts filled Shi Du's mind.

He saw Dongxiong nobleman's convoy driving straight all the way, and was about to drive out of the manor—a **** arm appeared on his wrist and ankle, and the arm exuded a gloomy and strange charm, grabbed the chains on his hands and feet and pulled gently, Just break the chain!

   Shi Du climbed over the low wall of the sheep shed without a sound, mounted his own 'horse book', and went straight to catch up with Lord Dongxiong's convoy!

   The convoy rushed into the cold night.

  On the dark plain, there are only lanterns hanging on the carriage, which can slightly illuminate the surrounding roads.

  The servant Du drove Ma Ben, turned into a black wind, and circled around the convoy.

  The several Duben divisions who were in charge of escorting the nobles in the convoy did not notice the presence of Shi Du at all—he hid himself very well.

  In a carriage in the middle of the convoy.

The obese lord Dongxiong was covered in silk and satin, sitting in the carriage, his body almost occupied most of the carriage seat, the concubine could only sit on his lap, and kept reaching out to caress his chest, to relieve the pain. His heart was beating wildly.

   Dongxiong clenched his hands into fists, staring fixedly at the two carriage doors in front of him, beads of sweat kept oozing from his forehead.

   "Go south from here!"

  At a certain moment, Dongxiong suddenly shouted.

  The concubine immediately turned to look outside the car door.

   "Go south!"

  The driver who drove the car responded immediately.

   "Go south!"

  Dongxiong's order quickly spread throughout the convoy, and the car formation turned south.

   The concubine turned around and let out a soft breath.

  She caressed Dongxiong's chest, comforting him, and at the same time said in a soft voice: "'Under that hill' has been responding to you, you have never lost your way, why are you so nervous?"

"You also heard the words 'under that hill', why didn't that mysterious place respond to you?" Dong Xiong calmed down a little, he didn't answer the question of his concubine, and gently squeezed the other's waist with his palm, and expressed The concubine asked.

   "I don't know..." The concubine's eyes concealed anxiety.

Dongxiong sighed, and said in a low voice: "In the entire manor, I was the only one who established contact with that mysterious place after hearing the words 'below that hill', and that mysterious place also responded to my call. I showed the way forward.

But when my father mentioned "under that hill", he clearly said that as long as "the hands are not stained with the blood of innocent people, and have never committed any evil deeds", the words "under that hill" will be born. induction…"

   The concubine lowered her head, her eyes becoming more and more disturbed.

  Dongxiong didn't notice her reaction, pinched the delicate flesh on her waist, and continued: "Father said so, but the actual situation is not like this.

   Like you, like my wife, like my son and daughter...

  You usually can't bear to see a sheep being killed in front of your eyes, so how can you get the blood of innocent people on your hands? How could it be possible to do something terrible?

  But you didn't respond to the word "under that hill".

  —It can be seen that what the father said may be wrong.

  Only certain people can sense the existence of 'under that hill'.

I’m just worried now—I’m a specific person, if I go to that hill alone, there shouldn’t be any problem, but I brought some of you who didn’t sense the existence of that hill… I don’t know if it is Isn't it still close to that mysterious place? "

  The concubine lowered her head and let out a soft breath.

  When she heard Dongxiong say that his wife and children are kind-hearted people, and that it is impossible for their hands to be stained with the blood of innocent people, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

   "Master, don't worry.

  You are a destined person who can sense the location of the mysterious place.

  With you leading us, we will definitely be able to reach ‘under that hill’.

  The gods have chosen you, you have chosen us, and since you have chosen, you cannot change it..." In the carriage, the concubine persuaded Dongxiong softly.

  Embracing his concubine, Dongxiong gave instructions to the horse team to change direction more than ten times in the next hour.

   Shi Du turned into a black wind, always hovering around the carriage.

  Until the cold night passes.

  Until every horse has worn out its four hooves and is exhausted.

  At dawn, a team of horses that had been frozen in the cold night stayed on the plain.

   Everyone in this horse team and the horses were frozen to death.

  The ten-mile radius they were in was covered with dense horseshoe prints.

  Those horseshoe prints were superimposed layer by layer, trampling the soil firmly to form a big circle.

  The soil in the large circle is sunken one foot deeper than the surrounding area.

   Throughout the long night, the horse team kept repeating along this circle and turning around.

  Beside the horse team, Shi Du and his horse Ben fell together.

  In the distance, a man in ragged clothes with thunder and lightning marks engraved between his eyebrows led many people in the same clothes to approach the convoy full of gold, silver, treasures and food.
