Chapter 255
"It's round," Ah Zhu didn't understand Shen Jiao was just trying to make conversation, so he answered seriously, "It's golden and bright, and it hurts your eyes if you look at it for too long. I like the moon better. When it first took human form, I didn't dare run around. I only went to sit on the shore at night.
I rarely see people, only the moon and flying birds. Fish jump out of the water, their scales shining brightly in the moonlight, and then dive back into the water in the blink of an eye. Once, a clam spirit lied to me and said that they jump around so they can jump to the moon and become immortals. I looked at the moon in the sky and the moon in the water, both so beautiful, so I really believed it and jumped with them for a long time.
Ah Zhu seems to like this kind of story very much.
Shen Jiao: "Did you go up there?"
"Sister, please don't laugh at me. There are no gods. Fish can't reach the moon, and a clam spirit can't turn into a dragon."
Shen Jiao didn't laugh. She said, "You only know this now?"
There is no suspense about this. What is he expecting... Has he really used his brain?
Ah Zhu smiled, tears falling down, right on Shen Jiao's face. She was still lying on his lap, listening to him say: "I knew it a long time ago... I knew it a long time ago... It's all fake... It's a trick for fools... I knew it a long time ago..."
He seemed to have suddenly gone mad.
Shen Jiao was silent for a moment, then sat up and hugged him, letting Ah Zhu bury her head on her shoulder and cry softly.
Wenzhu just looked at them in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Shen Jiao didn't know either.
So she rolled her eyes at Wenzhu.
What’s it to you?
If you are a caring person, you should stab Chen Qiye to death and let them go. Then he will have everything he wants and maybe he won't be sad anymore.
This is a beautiful wish that Shen Jiao cannot express out loud.
Wenzhu didn't know what she was thinking, but seeing her like that was irritating enough, so she simply didn't ask.
Let her cry, it’s none of her business even if she cries to death. She’s just a clam spirit, what worries can she have?
Wenzhu knew from a very young age that monsters are different from humans. Some of them look very big, hundreds of years old, but their intelligence may not be as good as that of a three-year-old child.
It is just an empty image of a person and cannot be regarded as a human being.
This is true for cruel and murderous monsters, and it is also true for monsters that appear harmless to humans and animals.
Just treat them like chickens, ducks, and geese. Those little creatures chirping and following you around are indeed quite cute, but you still have to eat meat...
If you really can't bear it, don't watch it.
With its head tilted to one side, Wenzhu looks like an easy target for a surprise attack.
Shen Jiao was confident that he could open the shackles, strangle her screams in his throat before she noticed, then change into her clothes and walk out, but doing so was too dangerous.
If she couldn't escape, she would be dead.
This was a very bad idea. Shen Jiao hesitated all the way and even stole a hairpin that could be used to pick the lock, but he didn't do it.
Naturally, he didn't move at this moment.
I patted Ah Zhu's back to comfort him, until... shouts and screams were heard outside.
In the past, when they were in danger, guards would rush in and immediately control them or take them away, but that didn't happen today.
What they shouted was—
"Go! Go!"
"Go and save Master Qi!"
"What happened?" Wenzhu murmured, turned around suddenly, took two steps towards the door, then remembered that there were two prisoners, stopped and called out, and was about to ask loudly when an iron chain was put around her neck.
Shen Jiao said as he strangled her, "I just thought about it. Is it possible that Seventh Master's story is false? He doesn't care about his daughter at all, and he doesn't want to find his daughter. He said all this just to make you believe him, admire him, treat him like your grandfather and father, and make you willingly die for him, and eliminate his relatives and friends who have evil intentions towards him? Excuse me, does Seventh Master have any other children?"
Wenzhu's eyes were wide open.
Is it fear, anger or... Is Shen Jiao right?
She wouldn't answer anyway.
Shen Jiao turned around and pried off Ah Zhu's shackles, asking, "Can you still walk?"
"Yes, but if I do that, I'll be a burden to my sister..."
Ah Zhu said weakly.
Shen Jiao nodded: "Then I will leave you alone. Just wish you good luck and stop thinking about dragons and gods. Stay away from people and live a good life. Try to use your magic power to open up your meridians, and you will get better."
Those people knew that Shen Jiao couldn't use spiritual energy to hurt others, so they didn't seal her meridians. So now she could wrap her hands with spiritual energy and smash the door with one punch.
With a loud bang, Shen Jiao saw the light of day again.
The guards fighting in the corridor and the thieves who came out of nowhere all looked over.
Shen Jiao: "No one cheers for me? I'm going to come out with one punch!"
The thief was very indifferent, and the guards threw things at her...
This world is not going to get better.
Even a weak little girl like her was hurt.
Shen Jiao dodged the attack and ran away sadly.
There was a sound of light footsteps behind her, chasing after her: "Sister, wait for me."
The sister heard it, but after thinking about it, she realized that she didn't have any brothers at all.
Shen Jiao didn't even turn his head, and disappeared from Azhu's sight after jumping up and down a few times.
This is a city after all. Even if it has been abandoned, there are still many houses left. It is not easy for one person to hide.
Shen Jiao didn't go to the dock.
This group of thieves came in broad daylight and were so rampant. I guess they came prepared.
The boats at the dock and the things inside them are definitely what they want most.
Perhaps it has fallen into their hands by now.
If Shen Jiao goes there and is discovered, he will be seeking death.
So she ran towards the city gate.
Anyway, let's get out of here first.
But Shen Jiao never expected that... the city gate was closed.
There were still people guarding the place. Judging from their weapons, they were the same as the people in the inn, so they were probably in the same group.
There are quite a few people.
That day at the dock, the silly, skinny kid said, "There are a lot of bad people here."
Shen Jiao thought he was talking about the past.
Because the amount of smoke was wrong, the people sent by Seventh Master did not find anything unusual.
No matter how you look at it, it's different from the places occupied by gangs.
But now it seems that the child was telling the truth.
There are indeed a lot of bad people here.
The reason why he didn't take action in the past few days might be because he was not around, or maybe he was estimating their strength.
Once the rebellion breaks out, they will beat everyone to death and close the city gates, hoping not to leave anyone alive.
Shen Jiao: What a mess.
She also wanted to escape and continue to be her own mistress.
It would be too regretful to die here.
Never mind, let’s go get something to eat first.
Shen Jiao had only been running for a short while when she saw stars in front of her eyes. If she kept running, she would be killed before the knife could hit her.
Eat, eat, eat, eat...
Shen Jiao relied on her hunger to support herself and ran towards the place where the smoke from the cooking stove had been burning that day...
