Mountains and rivers do not return to people

What he said in his heart, he couldn't hear.

"Xiying, are you sleepy?"

Su Xiying sat up and said, "No, I'm not sleepy."

But at this moment, Ye Wusu, who was far away on the Wuming Mountain in the Southern Continent, went out to make a fortune-telling. This year's sacrifice time is February, which is exactly the same as Shen Mushi's calculation.

"What's the matter?" Su Xiying turned her head to look at him.

Shen Mushi said: "In the past few days, someone came to King Si and said that what you and Han Shi did was not in compliance with the rules, and asked to be punished, King Si passed it on to me."

Su Xiying lowered her eyes: "Then what are you going to do?"

Shen Mu said: "I suspect that someone deliberately targeted you."

"For me?"

Su Xiying looked at him, thinking back that she didn't seem to have done anything out of the ordinary.

Shen Mushi nodded: "However, you don't have to worry, since King Si has entrusted this matter to me, he just doesn't want to take care of it. For the next few days, don't go out if you have nothing to do, so as not to be left behind."

"Ah."

Su Xiying was silent for a moment, after thinking about it, she asked, "Is this the same thing you entrusted to Chu Que?"

"No, in the past few days, people have often begged me to let go of a certain young man in the provincial supervisor. I was overwhelmed. I knew it was impossible to let go, but I wanted to add a copy. I didn't bother to read it, so I handed it to Chu Que, and asked him to go door-to-door to reply. Refused." Shen Mu said.

Su Xiying herself knew that it was impossible to release a human sacrifice from Shen Mushi. Even though those teenagers looked so pitiful, he still wanted to ask.

"Then do you have the heart to watch those people die?"

Shen Mushi replied: "Is there anything unbearable? I'm used to it. I'm tired of talking. I don't want to pay attention to these things. Anyway, it's the result of whether they find me or not. As time goes by, they won't do anything unnecessary."

Su Xiying's heart sank and she saw her own destiny.

"By the way, Xiying, how old are you this year?"

"nineteen."

Shen Mushi nodded and stopped talking.

Su Xiying's eyes darkened, and she asked, "What are the criteria for selecting human sacrifices?"

A voice came from above the roof: "Not all teenagers will be sacrificed, only those who are born with visions, such as those born on a windy and rainy day, or born with rainbows and snow. Tens of millions of people, ranging from hundreds of people."

Shen Mushi said: "That's right, Shen Wanyu, it's getting easier for Liang Shangjun to be a gentleman?"

Shen Wanyu swung down, his eyes first fell on Su Xiying, and then at Shen Mushi, and said: "Can't you let my brother go? You just have the heart to watch the person who followed you since childhood die like this." ?"

"Why can't you bear it?"

Ask him back at dusk.

Shen Wanyu choked suddenly, and there was a little more fear in her eyes.

Shen Mushi continued: "If I let him go, one more person has to make up for it. Why is it that just because he is my cousin, another person has to die."

Shen Wanyu didn't speak any more, took out a stack of scrolls and knelt down: "Please let him go, I can exchange my life for it."

Shen Mushi only spit out two words: "Reject."

Shen Wanyu raised her head, her eyes were bloodshot, and asked, "Then next year, will you have the heart to let Su Xiying sacrifice?"

Su Xiying lowered her head, and was also waiting for the verdict of her own fate. Even if Shen Mu Shi let him die, he would not hold a grudge, after all, the rules cannot be broken.

The time between speech gaps seems extremely long.

"He can't die."

Shen Mushi raised his finger and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Su Xiying's eyes.

Su Xiying shed tears unconsciously, and when she realized it, the warm touch from Shen Mushi's fingers seemed to be still on her face.

"Shen Twilight!" Shen Wanyu hammered his fist on one side of the table, making a muffled loud noise.

Shen Wanyu couldn't control her emotions anymore, and shouted: "After all, you still look down on us. If you like him, you can let Su Xiying survive. If you don't like us, you will block us with bright words. Shen Mu At that time, you were really cruel."

"Have you said enough?"

Shen Mushi's voice was still very cold, as if those words had disappeared before they entered his heart.

Shen Wanyu: "What do you mean?"

Shen Mushi stood up and said, "Su Xiying is my knotted hair, and she will enter the Shen family in the future. She is of the same blood as me, so there is no need to sacrifice. You are collateral, what can I do?"

"Shen Mushi, over the years, there are not only one or two people who have escaped from the provincial supervisor. Why are you pressing us so hard?"

"Not one came out of my hands."

"You do it yourself."

"You too."

Shen Wanyu left.

Su Xiying was still in a daze.

Shen Mushi came over and touched the corner of his eyes: "What's the matter? You don't really think you're going to sacrifice, do you?"

Su Xiying didn't speak, and wiped away her tears.

Shen Mushi was silent for a moment, and said: "Someone has to sacrifice their lives for this. No matter who is replaced, it is unfair. If a family and a family come to beg me, I will let them go. It is the many civilians who suffer."

"Then have you ever thought about abolishing the ritual?"

"I thought about it."

Su Xiying deliberately asked him why he didn't persevere, and suddenly it came to his mind that he was in Nanlu before, and Su Xiying asked him if he was not afraid of skinning when he was a child?Shen Twilight confessed that he was afraid.Thinking of this, he suddenly didn't want to ask any more questions.

Su Xiying grabbed his hand: "In the future, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. You are a good person."

Shen Mu smiled wryly, and said, "What is a good person and what is a bad person?"

In a flash, another few days passed.

According to folk customs, on the day of getting married, there is a saying of picking up the bride.

Su Xiying was like a rootless duckweed, wandering around, she had no home for a long time, worried about causing Su Xiying to fall in love with the scene, she decided to replace this process when she was in the dark, and he made the decision, so no one objected.

The words "ten miles of red makeup" are too pale in today's Wanzhou.

Since that day, a saying has gradually spread among the people: It turns out that there is no need for golden wind and jade dew. I like to find a beloved, but I have already won countless people in the world.

A whole month passed before all the guests attending the banquet dispersed, and from the people on the street, one could still imagine what kind of grand event it was.

Su Xiying was eating a bowl of sweet potato soup with rock sugar, which was placed on the bedside table early in the morning and late in the evening.

Su Xiying didn't wake up until noon, and the clothes couldn't cover the purple marks on her body. She lay down for a long time, sat up and took the soup bowl. The soup was cold, took a sip, and lay down again limply.

He hugged the quilt and buried his head in it, not wanting to speak.

Wanting to cry but without tears, what Chu Ke said might be right.

Sun Mu Shi had nothing to do for a few days before and after the marriage on New Year's Eve, King Si also turned a blind eye to him and ignored him. Now that the wedding event has been completed for a month, and there is another sacrifice approaching, it is unreasonable for Sun Mu Shi to do nothing.

Yan Wudong, Han Shi and the others didn't come to look for him, so Su Xiying lay down until the afternoon, got up from the bed, sat down on the couch, and thought a little sadly, she could consider sleeping in the same room with Shen Mushi up.

In the evening, Shen Mushi came back with a stack of scrolls, opened the door with one hand, looked up and saw Su Xiying lying on the table, already asleep.

Shen Mu put the scroll aside gently, and glanced across the room. There was no food in the room, and the bowl of soup hadn't been touched. It seemed that he hadn't eaten all day. Shen Mu touched his nose, feeling a little guilty feel.

He walked over and picked up Su Xiying and put her on the bed as lightly as possible, when her hair fell on Su Xiying's face, Su Xiying woke up.

"Twilight."

Su Xiying called him dully and sat up.

Shen Mushi patted him on the shoulder, went out to get a bowl of porridge and came back, scooped up a spoonful and fed it to him.

Su Xiying wanted to take it and drink it herself, but her whole body was sore and sore, and she couldn't even sit still, so she silently withdrew her hand and leaned on the bed.

Shen Mushi held back her laughter, pulled him into her arms, let him rely on herself, fed him spoonful by spoonful and said, "I was wrong."

Su Xiying didn't want to discuss this issue with him anymore, she finished a bowl of porridge silently, and lay back on the bed.

Shen Mushi rubbed his arm and said, "Is there any discomfort?"

"I don't feel well anywhere, I'm hungry."

Shen Twilight reached out to smooth his hair.

"You should not eat greasy and spicy food now. Others, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"I want to eat sweet sesame balls."

With a distressed look on Shen Mushi's face, he came out of the room and summoned the system softly.

The system flew out of Su Xiying's body like a ghost, circling several times in mid-air, and said, "Hi, Party B, you are a high-level VIP, and the system will serve you wholeheartedly. The program is running normally, what's your problem?" ordered?"

The previous sentence was for Shen Mushi in this world, what Shen Mushi needs now is the latter sentence he said.

Shen Mu said: "Search, how to make sweet sesame balls?"

The system was silent for a moment, then popped up a dialog box: Go out and turn left at the second store for sale.

"Yes." Shen Mushi clicked "Got it" and turned to go out.

Su Xiying went to the table and poured a cup of cold tea to moisten her throat. Those scrolls were placed on the side of the table at dusk. The top was originally rolled, but when the teacup was placed on the table, the table shook, and the whole scroll spread out and fell to the ground. on the ground.

Su Xiying picked it up, didn't intend to read it at first, but rolled it up according to the handwriting, in case the scroll was messed up, a line of words came into view, Su Xiying's hand trembled, and the scroll fell back to the ground again.

It reads: "The east wind blows flowers and thousands of trees at night. It blows down, and the stars are like rain." It was written by Su Xiying in Wanzhou. "Rain" is water, that is, "汜". .But now that there are many wars and dead bodies lying on the ground, it is even more suspected of overthrowing the Si Dynasty, which is very consistent with what was written in this poem before.This poem is so closely related to the war, I am afraid that this person participated in the conspiracy, or God sent punishment to weaken our army because of the incompatibility of the poem. In order to protect the stability of our dynasty, I implore Wang Yuji
