Chapter 18 Why are you here?
"surrender?"
Wei Da and his men chased all the way, gradually going deeper into the jungle.
The night was dark and difficult to tell the direction, and the situation became tense.
At this time, someone followed the footprints from behind.
Seeing the mountain man following behind Zhao Si, Wei Da frowned.
After hearing the other party's purpose of coming here, his eyes lit up at first, then turned complicated, and there was a strange look in his expression.
"My mission is to send these prisoners to Chiling Pass. Suppressing bandits is the responsibility of the local authorities. You've got the wrong person."
This time, apart from the prisoners, he only brought about twenty good soldiers. It would be no easy task to encircle and wipe out a mountain stronghold with them.
He Liangpu's heart sank, and he remembered the joke the little girl made before he came, so he knelt down very decisively.
"I don't ask you to eliminate the bandits, I only ask you to save us from suffering!"
"We were ordinary people who had escaped to the mountains. But last year, the border was in danger and the imperial court urgently recruited soldiers. All the men in the village resolutely followed. But a few years passed quickly, and those who left never returned."
Wei Da suddenly clenched his hands and took two quick steps forward, trying to help the man up.
However, the man's knees seemed to have taken root, and at this moment, his hunched back inexplicably gave people the illusion of strength.
"Not long ago, torrential rains hit Yuzhou. To protect the city, the prefect ordered the floodgates to be opened, flooding dozens of villages."
"The people suffered, bandits arose everywhere, and we were also brutally coerced because of this."
"Sir! I don't ask you to eliminate harm for the people. I only ask you to help the mothers, wives and children of those brave men who sacrificed their lives for the Xiayuan Kingdom, so that the heroic souls in the underground can rest in peace!"
These powerful words shook the hearts of everyone present.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was touching the ground with his forehead, his shoulders trembling slightly, and not daring to get up, Wei Da's face gradually turned cold.
What a great prefect!
When he left the capital, someone told him not to meddle in matters that were not his responsibility.
But when things really happen, how many people can turn a blind eye?
Wei Da closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all his emotions were gone. He waved his hand and shouted coldly, "Keep chasing!"
As he walked forward, he softly threw a sentence at the person who was still kneeling on the ground.
"No matter who instructed you, I know about this matter and I will definitely not ignore it."
He Liangpu's kneeling body stiffened slightly.
That moving voice, like spring water hitting rocks, seemed to ring in my ears again.
"If I were Lord Wei, I would definitely reject your surrender."
“But if someone threatens me with justice, even if I don’t want to do it in my heart, I will still do it with my mouth.”
"In this world, being a good person is always the hardest thing to do, and being a good official is even harder."
Wei Da walked forward step by step, stepped on the weeds and fell into the dark forest. When he turned his back to the crowd, a hint of unwavering expression appeared on his face.
Being smart is a good thing, but being too ostentatious will inevitably cause trouble.
The eldest daughter of the Shen family is still too childish and needs to be taught a lesson.
——
"If someone threatens you with righteousness and kindness, would you really commit it for someone who has nothing to do with you?"
Chen Chunxing counted the people who were knocked unconscious and felt a slight movement in his heart.
She was surprised to hear someone ask her such a silly question, "Do you think I look like a good person?"
Ah Si, with his hands tied, had a complicated expression. He wanted to say yes, but he couldn't open his mouth.
This girl, who was very easy to like at first sight, was like a wild lily growing in the fields. Even though he was captured by her now, he still couldn't feel any resentment.
But she is not a flower in the field, but a ghost wandering in the mountains, and her every word and action is different from the ordinary.
"Why are you helping Uncle He?"
Chen Chunxing rolled his eyes at him. "Why so many whys? Do I look like someone to chat with?"
Ah Si's dark face flushed, and she was frightened and stammered: "You, you are a girl, how can you say such words..."
Chen Chunxing looked the man up and down with a strange look, sneered, ignored him, and turned back to the yard where he was staying overnight.
"You have to accompany me for a walk. A little kid is lost."
Yang Yi, who was taking a nap on the cart, suddenly opened his eyes.
"What about home?"
Chen Chunxing looked into the house through the window paper and said confidently: "It's okay, with the third brother here, we can suppress the disaster."
The two of them set off as soon as they said they would, and went up the mountain along the path at the end of the village.
The sky gradually brightened.
A ray of morning glow penetrated the clouds and fell on the desolate valley.
"Who are you looking for?"
Ah Si followed them all the way and saw that the two seemed to be wandering around aimlessly, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Looking for the creditor." Chen Chunxing answered but didn't answer. She looked back unhappily, "Do you really have to follow us?"
Ah Si raised his bound hands and said, "How about you let me go?"
Chen Chunxing looked at him as if he were a fool. "Just go if you want to. Why do you have to say hello in advance?"
Ah Si hesitated and looked around, "Am I really leaving?"
Chen Chunxing waved her little hand and wanted to say goodbye, but suddenly she heard a slight sound in her ears. She turned her head quickly and accurately caught a glimpse of a bright red figure. She immediately hugged a big tree beside her.
"You are..." Ah Si was dumbfounded.
Before he could finish his words, Yang Yi pushed him into a pile of leaves and he fell to the ground.
"Shut up!"
Chen Chunxing climbed up the tree very quickly, looked up for a while, and couldn't help but look down in amazement.
"I always thought you were an expert, but I didn't expect there were people who were even more powerful than you."
Feeling that the person under his hand did not struggle, Yang Yi loosened his hand, bent his body and quietly moved forward.
"You stay here."
Chen Chunxing gave him a reassuring look.
far away.
People are entangled with each other.
Beasts dance together.
What a killing feast.
Except for the little girl sitting on the branch, the surroundings were gloomy and there were wronged souls constantly approaching this side.
Chen Chunxing smiled.
The creditor is safe and sound, and I have the opportunity to meet my local colleagues. Today is a really good day.
Seeing a white-robed figure emerging in the air, Chen Chunxing took a last look into the distance and saw that several people, with the assistance of Yang Yi, quickly killed the bandits on the field. She no longer hesitated, slipped down from the tree quietly, and ran wildly in a certain direction.
——
The undercurrents among the living cannot disturb the peace of the dead.
There is always a messenger from the underworld who comes on time to lead the dead souls.
In a place where no one could see, Bai Wuchang strung the wronged souls onto a chain and clapped his hands with satisfaction.
This is truly a small goal accomplished overnight! It really is true that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads... The uncivilized little world is fragrant.
He inexplicably thought of a subordinate known as the number one king of the underworld and sighed.
"You haven't had a good life yet. Why are you so unlucky..."
"It's not too late to fish it out now!"
The sudden sound naturally did not scare Bai Wuchang. He turned around and came face to face with Shen Chunxing.
Then both the man and the ghost were dumbfounded.
"Why are you here?"
After the unanimous voice came a tacit silence.
Chen Chunxing held her chin with her hand, she felt she needed to take a break.
I originally just wanted to meet local colleagues, but how did I run into my former boss?
"So you were reincarnated here after falling off the Naihe Bridge?" Bai Wuchang immediately made hand gestures, "Could it be that we have never been able to find your soul..."
Hope ignited in Chen Chunxing's heart, "Are you still looking for me?"
Bai Wuchang understood her meaning and said helplessly, "If you were simply rushed into the Three Realms, even if your soul was damaged, the higher-ups would be able to help you resolve it. But now that you've entered the cycle of reincarnation, according to the rules, you must complete this life before returning to the underworld to take up your post."
"I understand, I understand!" Chen Chunxing had been well prepared since the day he came here. He was not discouraged when he heard this, but instead felt a little surprised.
It seems that her iron rice bowl is secure! She will continue to be the most popular person in both the Yin and Yang worlds!
Bai Wuchang turned his head and glanced at the thorn bush with shaking branches and leaves.
"Let's not talk about that for now. As a human being now, you should remember to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. My generation of practitioners have always been less involved in karma, but it is precisely because of this that it is difficult to accumulate merit. This may be a blessing for you."
Chen Chunxing was stunned.
Merit is a good thing, but it really has nothing to do with a low-level employee like her...
Without time to think, Chen Chunxing waved to the figure that gradually disappeared into the air.
"Brother! I understand the logic! I'm not asking for any black technology or weapons of mass destruction, I just ask if you can bring me a few bottles of Yunnan Baiyao when you come back next time! This road of exile is really wearing on my feet!"
“…”
Bai Wuchang grinned.
Yes, it's this familiar smell! No matter who I recognize, I can't mistake her!
