Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Zhou Zhishan Extra
Zhou Zhishan was dizzy and dazed after being thrown roughly by Li Daoxuan. He was indeed dizzy for a while, but gradually, he was surprised to find that he no longer felt any pain in his body. All the pain gradually disappeared, and his body tended to be numb, without pain, cold or heat.
A feeling that is hard to describe.
Thinking of the humiliation Li Daoxuan had brought upon him, a surge of hatred rose in his heart, gradually clouding his eyes and causing him to ignore the anomaly. Zhou Zhishan climbed ashore from the black-sailed boat.
From a distance, he saw the woman fishing the monster that fell from the sky out of the river. Looking at her back that was completely exposed in his sight, Zhou Zhishan gradually became murderous. He took the opportunity to lift up his sleeves, revealing the sleeve arrow tied to his arm.
That was his last trump card, which he would not use unless it was absolutely necessary, but now—
He curled his lips slowly, his eyes showing fierceness.
The two were too far apart. When Zhou Zhishan was aiming at Chen Qing's back, he suddenly saw her casually throw out a talisman-like thing in her hand. The talisman exploded immediately after it got close to the monster crawling from a distance. It was extremely powerful. Zhou Zhishan looked back and saw that there were also such talismans on the boat. He pulled one off and stuck it on the sleeve arrow.
Whether it's useful or not, just die.
He sneered and pressed the mechanism, and the short arrow shot out. Just when he thought he could kill the woman, he saw the monster that had transformed into a human form blocking the arrow for her.
Before he could get a clear look at the banshee's face, she fell with her back to him, and her shoulder was burned to pieces by the talisman paper.
The damned young man was guarding beside them. Zhou Zhishan immediately shot the second arrow, aiming at Li Daoxuan.
However, he clearly saw that the young man reacted extremely quickly and raised his hand to block his arrow, but unexpectedly the silly girl suddenly jumped up and hugged him, taking the arrow head-on.
Hahahaha what an idiot! Kill as many as you can!
Zhou Zhishan was delighted and shot his last arrow with the thought that he would die. Just as he expected, the man who was already on guard immediately threw his sword, not only breaking his short arrow, but also chopping off one of his arms.
Zhou Zhishan didn't feel any pain with his broken arm and leg, but he couldn't stand up. It felt like his feet were stepping on a pool of tofu. He subconsciously tried to raise his hands to support himself, but the blood flowed even more violently. It turned out that his hand was cut off at the shoulder.
He was going to break his appointment and wouldn't be able to see Wu Niang, Zhou Zhishan thought as he looked at the man walking towards him with a vicious look on his face.
Perhaps because he felt he was going to die, Zhou Zhishan grew bolder, blurting out all his sharp words, just to make himself feel better. So he said, "You are really lucky. She is protected by the evil spirit, and you are protected by her."
Unexpectedly, the other party said: "Why don't we see who you killed."
Hearing him say this, Zhou Zhishan suddenly felt inexplicably flustered for some reason. He said stubbornly, "Ha, what? I killed a demon, who else could it be?"
What answered him was a discarded golden osmanthus branch that had lost its fragrance and beauty.
The time when golden osmanthus is in full bloom has passed. In the entire Weinan County, only Wu Niang has such a blooming golden osmanthus in her hands.
No! No! Wu Niang clearly went to Yangzhou!
But the mocking and gloating look in the boy's eyes told him who he had killed with his own hands.
Zhou Zhishan screamed, "No! You lied to me! Impossible, you must have lied to me! Hahahahahahaha——" His eyes were bloodshot and his emotions were out of control. "I'm telling you, I sent Wu Niang to Yangzhou a long time ago. You just wanted to provoke me, right? You lied to me! You lied to me, you lied to me!"
"I can't be fooled!"
The young man looked at him indifferently, his expression full of pity and seemed extremely torn.
Zhou Zhishan said it was impossible, but he honestly picked up the broken golden osmanthus with his hands, "You must be lying to me. I'll go and see. How could that monster be Wu Niang? Wu Niang is gone. This morning she was so happy to tell me that the golden osmanthus was in bloom."
He bit his lip and tried to stand up, but the boy kicked him hard and knocked him to the ground.
Li Daoxuan's pupils were unusually dark, and his eyes were filled with a raging storm. He said, "Want to see her? Of course, as long as you can crawl over."
The fear in Zhou Zhishan's eyes grew more intense. He climbed up tremblingly, and was kicked in the chest again, almost to death.
It didn't hurt, not at all. Even when he heard the sound of something breaking in his chest, he didn't react at all. A fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat, and Zhou Zhishan spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with broken internal organs.
He stubbornly tried to get up, but was kicked down by the young man again. In the end, his limbs were so weak that he couldn't get up even if he wanted to.
Before he knew it, the blood from his broken arm had stained a large area of the ground. His lips were pale, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Get out of here! Get out of here!"
"Let me through—you bitch!"
"Hahahaha, keep kicking me! I'm telling you, I don't feel any pain at all. It's useless for you to kick me!"
“…”
"Let me through, let me through!"
Not far away, the bloody body of the woman in white suddenly began to disintegrate, starting from her ankles, and then bits of starlight climbed up to the soles of her feet, disintegrating and disintegrating her body.
Zhou Zhishan finally realized that he was panicking.
"No, no! I'm wrong, I beg you! Let me see her! Let me see her! I beg you!"
He went from being a vicious curser at first to now begging for mercy.
Li Daoxuan remained calm and steady. He stepped on the struggling man and knocked him to the ground. Seeing that the situation was almost over, he asked, "Where did you take the gilded silver box in Gao Congli's hand?"
Zhou Zhishan had no intention of hiding anything, but now that his heart had already lost its composure, he immediately blurted out, "It's hidden under the floor tiles in my house."
"Does anyone else know the whereabouts of the box?"
"I don't know who the people behind me are. It's always a man in black whose face I can't see clearly who gives me orders, and I just have to follow them."
"Is Gao Haizhou dead or alive?"
"I don't know! I was just following orders that night. Gao Changshi took advantage of the chaos and jumped into the river with the other half of the box. I ordered the county to be sealed off just to find him, but my men turned the county upside down and couldn't find him! He must be dead."
"What is on board? Where is it hidden now?"
"Pepper! Lots and lots of pepper! And amber! It's all hidden in the bottom of the boat, and the entrance is also in the bottom of the boat!"
"I was only following orders. I've told you everything I know. I don't know anything anymore. I don't know anything at all! Please let me go! I beg you!"
The starlight began to corrode the woman's knees.
Zhou Zhishan struggled desperately, scratching and biting. Blood gushed out from his broken arm in large pieces. At the moment when the blood was about to stain the bottom of Li Daoxuan's shoes, he quickly loosened his foot.
Zhou Zhishan, who had released the clamp, crawled forward frantically with his dry eyes. The short distance of half a pier seemed so far in his eyes.
He looked at the starlight that was constantly devouring the woman's body, and screamed madly in his heart: Slow down! Slow down! He wanted to see clearly, he wanted to see clearly that it was definitely not Wu Niang! Wu Niang was on her way, it was definitely not Wu Niang!
Zhou Zhishan whimpered in his throat, and the top of the woman's head became clear, but he was lying down, so he could only see her dark head and her soft black hair spread out on the ground.
Starlight climbed up her hands and waist.
Zhou Zhishan finally saw her face clearly. His heart was bleeding and his eyes were wide open. No—
As they got closer, Zhou Zhishan cried out in his heart, "No! Don't take her away! She's his, his—"
In fact, he could only utter inarticulate whimpers, the blood that kept pouring out of his mouth made his mouth full of blood, and his broken internal organs blocked his throat, and he screamed silently.
No! Wu Niang, his Wu Niang! Oh God, please save him! Someone please save him!
Zhou Zhishan stared with his eyes wide open, using one arm to move at almost the fastest speed in his life. His nails were pulled out by the roots from gripping the cold, hard ground so hard, and the sharp pain gradually warmed up, like a dense net covered with spikes sweeping over him and gradually shrinking.
Wherever the dense net passed, pain swept over him. The dense net finally tightened, tightly wrapping around his heart, squeezing it, and piercing it.
It hurts—it hurts so much.
The belated pain made Zhou Zhishan look defeated. He almost couldn't hold on any longer and stopped for a moment.
"Hu——" Every time I exhale, the pain in my chest is like a tidal wave squeezing and churning.
At the moment of pause, white light instantly submerged Song Yuxi's broken shoulder, and Zhou Zhishan's eyes became even more terrified!
He ignored the pain and crawled over in a panic.
Not enough, not enough, too slow!
The second before his fingertips touched Song Yuxi's cheek, her body instantly turned into thousands of ethereal lights and disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Zhishan cried out, "Wu Niang! Don't abandon me!"
"You're too light! I can't catch you, Wu Niang! I can't catch you!"
.
Zhou Zhishan has been losing all his life.
His mother died of septicemia when he was born, his brother drowned when he was five, and his father was taken away by a demonic insect when he was nine.
His mother died because of him, so his father hated him immensely since he was born, and would beat and scold him at any time. Only his brother would "protect him."
Every time his father got drunk, he would emphasize that his mother had died because of him, and then check to see if there were tears in Zhou Zhishan's eyes. If there were no tears, perhaps it would be an excuse to vent his anger, and he would often beat Zhou Zhishan half to death.
"From now on, everything in the house belongs to your brother, and you should serve him for the rest of your life!" This was the most common thing he had heard.
The older brother often tries to stop his father with a guilty look on his face, but what he says instead provokes his father to beat him even harder. The older brother seems to be trying to persuade him, but in fact he is adding fuel to the fire.
hypocritical.
So when Zhou Zhishan was fishing with his brother, he pushed him into the river.
When his eldest son "accidentally" drowned, his father was heartbroken. Perhaps he finally realized that he only had one son left, so Zhou Zhishan was beaten and scolded less, and was treated with endless cold stares.
He had been emotionally indifferent since childhood and could not even cry. He often had a blank expression on his face. When he was beaten, he would just stare at the culprit with his dark eyes, so they all called him a monster.
Later, when he grew up a little, he learned how to disguise himself. He began to learn to laugh and pretend to be nice to the so-called "father". The rumors that he was a monster became less and less, until they disappeared.
His father smiled more often and began to care about his studies and life.
When he was nine years old, a strange disease broke out in Weinan County. Zhou Zhishan relied on his keen insight to first discover that the source of the disease was a strange fish, so he jumped into the river without hesitation and caught a fish.
Due to long-term malnutrition, the nine-year-old boy looked like a seven-year-old child, with dry hair, poor clothes, and thin and yellow cheeks.
As he swam towards the shore, he was grabbed by a little girl.
Half of the girl's face was hidden in the water, revealing a pair of bright and clear eyes, with bubbles coming out of her mouth. The girl observed him for a while, then raised the remaining half of her face. Her chubby cheeks were delicate and beautiful, like a porcelain doll.
The porcelain doll snatched the fish from his hand and said fiercely, "You can't eat this fish! The river is very dangerous, get out quickly!"
That was the first time someone had spoken to him like that. Zhou Zhishan was like a night millstone in a ditch, greedily trying to hold onto this bit of kindness. He lowered his eyes and asked, "Why?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't figured out how to answer. After a while, her face flushed red as she said, "In short, you can't eat it!"
He said aggrievedly, "But I'm hungry."
When the girl saw him like this, her heart softened. She thought for a moment and then said, "You wait!"
The girl plunged into the water, her pretty skirt spreading out in the water, like a dream, she looked like a goddess in the legend.
She must be a goddess. Little Zhou Zhishan stared at that gorgeous sight, unable to move his eyes away. His dead heart began to beat vividly after a long absence, thump thump—
After about half a minute, the girl emerged from the water, holding a crucian carp that was bigger than his head. She stuffed the lively crucian carp into his arms and said, "Here you go! Don't you humans love to eat these the most? Don't eat that thing, eat this!"
As if she realized that she had said something wrong, she suddenly widened her eyes and covered her mouth, "Hurry up and get ashore! It's dangerous in the river! I'm leaving too!" After that, she dived into the water again.
Little Zhou Zhishan couldn't help but cover his chest, feeling this strange sensation. It was the first time he had truly faced kindness, pure kindness without any distractions, but also so light that it seemed like it would slip through his fingertips if he wasn't careful.
He couldn't help but reach out and hook the corner of her clothes that was left on the water. As the girl dived to the bottom of the river, the corner of her clothes slipped away from his fingertips in an instant. Zhou Zhishan missed it and held his breath.
Zhou Zhishan let the crucian carp go and caught another strange fish instead.
Because he knew that he couldn't hide the crucian carp, and he didn't have the strength to resist the man. Zhou Zhishan brought the strange fish back home, and his father was very happy. He grilled the fish and ate it that night, leaving nothing for him.
Zhou Zhishan was used to it, so he sat outside the house all night. Overnight, many more people in the county fell ill. To prevent the spread of the strange disease, the county magistrate immediately ordered the county to be closed. Everyone was trapped in their homes, panic-stricken, but Zhou Zhishan remained indifferent.
A few days later, his father died in a gruesome manner. Zhou Zhishan witnessed a large insect bursting out of his father's body. He calmly lit a fire and burned the insect to death. He then sold the grain in his family's granary to the local gentry at several times the price, leaving only a month's worth of food for himself.
Sure enough, half a month later, due to the closure of the county and the bottomless hunger, there was a shortage of food in the city. The gentry and profiteers raised the price and sold the food at dozens or hundreds of times the price, making a fortune. The people were living in dire straits, and the phenomenon of selling their children and eating their own children was endless.
Ten days later, the county magistrate found out that the culprit of the insect plague was this strange fish, and immediately ordered a ban on fishing in the Wei River. Five days later, the strange fish in the river suddenly disappeared overnight.
Yet, the streets and alleys still stank of death. People, lost in grief, numbly handled the cold bodies of their loved ones. Those without relatives were haphazardly gathered together, like a pile of worthless debris. A final fire ignited, black smoke billowing as the flames mercilessly devoured the last traces of their remains.
Zhou Zhishan raised himself with the money he earned. Once he was able to protect himself, he started to do business and made a lot of money with his amazing brain.
There was always a figure in his heart that he could not forget, so every August 15th he would release a river lantern and wish to see her again.
Whether it was a blessing from heaven or just luck, he slipped and fell into the river.
Zhou Zhishan subconsciously wanted to swim to the shore, but suddenly an idea came to his mind. He pretended to be a drowning person, struggling in the river and letting the water submerge him. He thought hopefully, will the goddess appear?
Suddenly, he was grabbed by a pair of white and slender hands, and the owner of these hands took him to the shore.
What caught his eye was a familiar yet unfamiliar face. He recognized her at a glance. She had shed her youthfulness and grown into an extremely beautiful woman, like a goddess from the sky, with eyes pure and spotless. Such a beautiful person was right in front of him!
Zhou Zhishan was trembling all over, his blood boiling, and his face flushed with excitement. He closed his eyes and said, "You saved me, I will be responsible for you!"
The goddess seemed to have heard something extremely funny and asked, "If I were a man, would you also be responsible for me?"
Zhou Zhishan stared at her smiling face blankly, and an answer quietly emerged in his heart: Yes!
If she was a man, he would find a way to become a woman and follow her.
It was at this moment of daze that she left.
She left so decisively that he didn't have time to catch her and ask her name.
Zhou Zhishan was also surprised that she didn't recognize him...
That's right, now he has a handsome face and neat clothes, which is completely different from the shabby appearance he had when he was nine years old.
Zhou Zhishan gradually developed a despicable thought in his heart. He wanted to capture this bit of beauty, hide her, and raise her carefully. He wanted to give her the best thing in the world.
He has been like a night millstone in the gutter all his life, unable to see the light, but a despicable person like him also wants to grasp a ray of light, he thought almost paranoidly.
Zhou Zhishan was full of hope and wandered along the Wei River every day until the golden osmanthus flowers bloomed. He picked the most beautiful and fragrant one with his own hands, made a river lantern, and sincerely made a wish, hoping to see her.
Then she actually showed up.
Zhou Zhishan danced with joy. He had never been so happy in his life. The goddess was willing to have mercy on him!
He used up all his life's knowledge to pursue her, to please her, and then, he finally grasped her! He grasped the light that he had been seeking all his life but could not get!
But he was such a dark and despicable person, and Wu Niang was too beautiful, so beautiful that it was unlike anything else in this world. He was afraid that he could not catch her, he was too afraid! He wanted to give her the best, and he prayed in his heart that she would not abandon him, would not leave him.
He carefully concealed his dark side. In Wu Niang's eyes, he must be the best man in the world to her!
A Niang died giving birth to him, and even if he didn't allow Wu Niang to take such a risk, he would still have to bear such a risk. Having Wu Niang was already the most precious thing he could ever hope for in his life, so how could he dare to hope for her to bear children for him? He didn't deserve it!
Zhou Zhishan decisively took the contraceptive pills and severed his own family ties with his own hands. He wanted to devote himself wholeheartedly to Wu Niang and not slack off for even a moment.
Wu Niang's symptoms of coughing up blood became more and more serious. He tried his best to make money in secret. Those people came to him, and under the temptation of money and power, he became their lackey.
Only money and power are his greatest reliance, and they give him the confidence to keep Wu Niang.
With the money, he searched for famous doctors all over the world, but no one could cure her illness. Wu Niang gently touched his face and told herself not to worry.
But Zhou Zhishan always wondered if it was because the goddess had condescended to the mortal world and fell in love with him, a lowly mortal, that she had been punished by heaven, punishing Wu Niang with suffering. Would Wu Niang eventually die because of him, or return to heaven?
No! She can't leave!
She was his! He had prayed so hard for her!
There is Xuanji Pavilion in the capital and Dongshan Temple in the suburbs. They are under the command of the saint and only serve the saint.
The disciples of Xuanji Pavilion and Dongshan Temple are all very capable, and most of them can only be invited by high-ranking officials in the capital.
Those people promised that as long as this matter was resolved, he could get a job in the capital.
In this way, he can use his power to ask people from Xuanji Pavilion or Dongshan Temple to treat Wu Niang!
However, his plan was completely ruined since the arrival of the two people who claimed to be brother and sister.
By mistake, he burned Wu Niang's favorite golden osmanthus, and those people became murderous and wanted to kill him by borrowing her knife.
Zhou Zhishan began to settle for the second best and just stay alive.
Wu Niang said that she didn't care about anything else but him! She was willing to live an ordinary life with him.
Then let’s go to Yangzhou. Yangzhou is so beautiful, Wu Niang will definitely like it.
Zhou Zhishan took care of everything in secret and left a surprise for the group of people.
Today's delivery should have gone smoothly, but the sudden appearance of the demonic dragon scared off the delivery crew, ruining his plans. He was distracted when he was captured by the "brother and sister." He hated them! They were just one step away! They all deserved to die!
When the short arrow was shot, Zhou Zhishan felt happy in his heart even if he only hit two people. He laughed wildly and happily!
Anyone who prevents him from being with Wu Niang will die!
However, the young man came closer, dropped a piece of broken branch, and told him the cruel truth. Zhou Zhishan completely collapsed.
He killed Wu Niang with his own hands! He killed his Wu Niang with his own hands!
He cried and screamed, dragging his broken limbs and crawling in a panic, but in the end he failed to catch Wu Niang.
When I was young, I admired Ai and came to this place.
In the end, it turned out to be a huge joke.
Zhou Zhishan went completely crazy. He cursed, laughed, and cried bitterly at times.
"My whole life has been wrong—" He seemed to be busy all his life, but in fact he was going astray and ended up in a dead end.
"If I had known earlier, I would have known earlier! I don't seek fame, wealth, or power, I just want to spend the rest of my life with Wu Niang!"
"Woo——" He held his head and sobbed, the light in his eyes gradually went out, and there was a dead silence in his ears.
"I can't see or hear anymore, Wu Niang, are you punishing me?" Zhou Zhishan said softly, and then the light in his eyes completely went out, ending this messy and sloppy life.
