Just a moment later, the pain he had been waiting for did not come as expected. Driven by suspicion and curiosity, he slowly opened his eyes, and saw the not-so-tall Wei Shi standing in front of him, with both arms He made a flat body in the shape of the word "big" and stood between him and Ah Fu; and the short knife in Ah Fu's hand had pierced Wei Shi's chest accurately.
"Sir, are you okay?" Wei Shizhi, who was breathing rapidly, looked back at Xiao Shizhu and spat out a mouthful of blood as he opened his mouth.
For some reason, Xiao Shizhu suddenly felt that the figure of the other party was so majestic, like a giant.
"Wei what!" Xiao Shizhu was shocked and suddenly had mixed emotions in his heart. He who used to be very eloquent suddenly ran out of words and didn't know what to say. It took him a long time to say slowly: "You are stupid. Can't you see such a big knife coming through? Can't you hide?" As he spoke, tears emerged from his eyes and rolled in his eyes.
A human soul whom he had known for a short time risked his life to save him. Xiao Shizhu suddenly felt seven points of guilt and three points of gratitude in his heart.
"It is my duty to protect you, sir, and because you have never treated us as slaves, you are always drinking with us at the same table, laughing and cursing, and even buying us roast chicken." Wei Shi smiled faintly and raised his hand. He strangled Ah Fu's wrist tightly and used his last bit of strength to make the other person unable to move and at the same time unable to draw out the knife: "Although I haven't spent much time with you, sir, I don't regret working with you. These days, I don't regret working with you. Heaven is the happiest day since I came to the underworld. It is not a pity for me to die. Sir, you are still young, you can do more things, and you have to live. But, I, I really want to eat roast chicken. "The words became weaker and weaker, and gradually even Xiao Shizhu, who was so close to him, couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
The bloody foam in his mouth, after spitting out his words, turned into little bright red dust and scattered around Xiao Shizhu's body.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy them for you. I'll buy them for you as many as you want!" After Xiao Shizhu nodded heavily, his right hand trembled slightly. Feeling a little at a loss, he hurriedly stretched out his left hand and placed it on Wei Na's head. The hunched back supported the opponent's shaky body. But he lowered his head, not having the courage to look at Mr. Wei again.
Ever since his parents died when he was five years old, Xiao Shizhu has never been moved or sad. From then on, Xiao Shizhu, who has been hard-hearted, now has a crystal clear teardrop, involuntarily falling from the corner of his eye!
Compared with King Guang of Qin, Mo Zhai or Ming Yichen, Wei Yi, an old man who is over seventy years old, is sincere to him. For the kindness of a few roasted chickens, he repays him with a spring of water, risking his own life. She blocked the knife for him and blocked death. This made Xiao Shizhu feel more and more guilty. She felt guilty that she had not been able to treat such a ghost of love and justice better before, and that she would not have a chance in the future.
King Kong, whose eyes were already red, stepped forward, screamed, and cut off Ah Fu's head with a knife, ending the rebel's life.
Seeing that Ah Fu was dead, Wei Hehe let out the last breath in his body. Then he closed his eyes, leaned his body to the right, and slowly fell down. Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Xiao Shizhu hurriedly reached out to hold him. At this time, Xiao Shizhu regained his consciousness and murmured urgently: "Imperial doctor, where is the imperial doctor? Where is the imperial doctor?". His face was full of panic and anxiety.
Even the expressionless ghost mother was slightly startled when she saw it, and secretly sighed in her heart: "I didn't expect this kid to have some feelings of friendship."
A peaceful look appeared on Wei Shi's wrinkled old face, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a loving smile. This expression was fixed at this moment, and was deeply imprinted in Xiao Shizhu's mind, becoming an indispensable part of him. A forgotten memory.
"Why are you standing there?" Then he didn't bother to wipe away the tears that blurred his eyes. He looked around and saw that all the sergeants had lowered their heads. After a moment of silence for Wei, he shouted in a tearful voice: "Go find the imperial doctor." , go quickly." As he roared, Wei Shi's body gradually turned into powder and flew away to the west with the night wind.
Early the next morning, in the Tengu Garden filled with white silk ribbons, there was a small raised mound of earth beside the flower stand in the courtyard. There were many stones around the mound. There was a smooth wooden sign directly in front of it, which read: "Yiyishi" "The Tomb of Wei Shi" is written in seven neat characters. Candles, incense and roasted chickens are lit on both sides to offer fruits.
Xiao Shizhu knelt in front of the tombstone and said sadly to the tombstone: "Mr. Wei, you are a human soul and can't leave a body after death. It will only turn into dust. I can only build a tomb for you." At this point. , he suddenly sniffed, and said with a forced smile: "From now on, every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, we will come to offer you some incense and some roast chickens. Don't worry this time, no one will follow you. I've robbed you, enough! Even though you've lost your soul and can't be reincarnated, I still want to say, you have a good journey." But every word he said made his heart twist like a knife.
"Have a nice trip, Mr. Wei." Li Hao, Li Cai, Yang Dingfeng and Jingang, who were standing behind him with their heads lowered, also shouted after him.
"You said you knew you were a human soul, so why did you block that knife!" Xiao Shizhu, with red eyes, kowtowed twice to Mr. Wei's tomb solemnly after finishing speaking, then raised his right hand and said: "There are only two, and the three are for my biological father. But don't worry, I, Xiao Shizhu, swear that one day, I will lead my troops to the capital of the Ghost Kingdom, capture the Ghost King alive, and kneel down and kowtow to you to apologize. To repay you for saving my life. There is only so much I can do for you, and I will do my best."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Chun Yun leading the imperial army to the gate of Tengu Garden, silently watching all his words and deeds.
"The soul is dead and cannot be resurrected. I feel sorry for you." Although Chun Yun couldn't stand him, she couldn't bear to see the sadness on his face. When Xiao Shizhu looked at her, she finally said to him kindly: "Xiao Shizhu, follow me into the palace. I want to see you."
Xiao Shizhu turned a deaf ear to this, and just stood up slowly, took the wine bottle Li Hao was holding in his hand, uncorked the bottle without saying a word, poured the wine inside on Mr. Wei's grave, and opened his mouth. Shout: "Mr. Wei, the wine is here; if you choke on the roast chicken, take it to moisten your throat!".
After all the drinks fell to the ground, he followed Chun Yun silently to the inner courtyard.
Standing in the Wanxiang Palace again, Xiao Shizhu stopped talking about the ghost mother. He also lost the joy and excitement of the past. This night, he seemed to be a different person. At this time, he just stood with his head bowed. Below the ghost mother, there was silence.
"I thought you would clamor for a reward when you saw me, but you unexpectedly remained silent." The ghost mother looked at him and asked, "What are you thinking about? Come and tell me?".
"When are we going to fight?" Xiao Shizhu asked without hesitation after hearing this, but still did not raise his head.
"Hit him there?" The ghost mother was startled for a moment, then she blinked and cast a questioning look at him, and asked curiously: "Where did he hit him?".
"Ghost Kingdom." Xiao Shizhu uttered three words in a sonorous and powerful voice. The fists hidden in his sleeves were slowly clenched, and hatred and anger burst out of his eyes.
"The battlefield is cruel, and you should not start a war unless it is absolutely necessary." The ghost mother smiled faintly and said to him lightly: "And you have never been on the battlefield, even if you start a war."
"I am willing to go to the battlefield, no matter whether it is cruel or not, I will go! As long as you fight against the Ghost Kingdom, I will go, whether as a pawn or a cook, I will go." Before he could finish, Xiao Shizhu raised his head
She raised her head and looked directly at him, interrupted her words, and said: "I want to capture the Ghost King alive!" A rare seriousness and seriousness appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of determination and fearlessness.
The shadows of the pillars on the main hall fell right on his face, causing two-thirds of his face to be shrouded in shadow; it also made his expression a bit gloomy and a little scary.
"What is it for Wei?" The ghost mother was stunned again and asked slowly after a moment. A trace of admiration for Xiao Shizhu's courage at this time flashed in her eyes.
"Yes!" Xiao Shizhu answered bluntly, and then added without thinking: "For you too." The ghost mother frowned slightly when she heard this, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. She had never seen this before.
After seeing Xiao Shizhu who was so bold, the young ghost standing below her now seemed to have transformed like a butterfly. He had broken out of his cocoon and was very different from before. This made her a little more interested in this young human soul.
and good feelings.
But why didn't she want to fight? The ghost king kept causing trouble for her, and she was very annoyed. The best solution was to destroy the ghost kingdom.
It’s just that as the king of a country, he must consider the issue comprehensively. Once the war breaks out, the domestic economy will decline rapidly, and the people will be in dire straits. The war is about money, not just money, and today’s ghost kingdom is also very strong, and it cannot be done in ten days and a half.
Those who are defeated must be prepared for a protracted war. But today's Ghost Mother Country obviously does not have so much materials and money to launch a large-scale and protracted war.
"Xiao Shizhu, I understand your grief." The ghost mother sighed and persuaded softly: "But war is really not a child's play. Let's put this matter aside for now and let's talk about rewards! You did well this time.
I think".
"They are actually all your secret envoys, right?" Xiao Shizhu suddenly said something incomprehensible to interrupt the ghost mother, and then said: "Although they are not superb in martial arts, they all have special skills. Although they are stupid, they
Mostly just pretending. The day before yesterday, I thought that the reason why the four great masters of Wangwenwenqie and even King Kong are high-ranking and low-ranking people in the Forbidden Army should be your secret envoys. This is to make it more clear.
A good hidden emissary exists to ensure you the absolute loyalty of the Imperial Guards. Once a traitor appears in the army, they can notify you as soon as possible and kill the traitor."
"And you sent them to me, in addition to helping me find the traitor, you also thought that if I couldn't catch the traitor, you would let them kill me, right? I don't care about these." As he spoke, he tightened his grip again.
He tightened his fists, and his fingertips were as deep as the palms of his hands. It seemed that the pain could make him feel a little better. Then he raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the ghost mother, and said excitedly: "Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei, to be honest, he is doing it for you and me.
He used his loyalty and death in exchange for you and me standing here safe and sound today. Do you just ignore it? When they swore allegiance to you, they knew that one day they would die for you.
Although they are ready to sacrifice for you at any time, you cannot let them die in vain! This is not what a king should do!" Because of his excitement, his voice even trembled.
Seeing that the ghost mother fell into silence, Xiao Shizhu turned around and continued to say resolutely: "You don't have to give up my reward. Look, if Mr. Wei has a family, give it to his family! If not, please fix it for him.
A mourning hall for future generations to worship and worship!" After saying that, he strode away without looking back.
