Chapter 331 Ending (6)
There was a temple fair in the city that day, and there were many people at the gate of the city. It also involved the emperor's personal ethics, so the matter became a big deal. There are even many rumors that Huangdi secretly likes to abuse girls.
Because he was not in the right position, the emperor always cherished feathers the most. When something like this happened, he had to refute the rumors, arrest some people to scare the monkeys, and gritted his teeth and reduced some taxes in Jiangnan, so he reluctantly suppressed the matter.
……
A few days later, a new grave bag was found in a secluded Feng Shui treasure land in the south of the Yangtze River.
The grave was full of Xie family members. Mrs. Xie presented Youyou with her favorite sunflowers. Grandma Xie brought a jug of good wine and poured it on the grave without hesitation...
Everyone came forward one by one and presented her with her favorite things during her lifetime. After that, everyone left silently, leaving only a deformed young man in front of the grave.
The young man stared blankly at the grave in front of him with his dead eyes. He knew that this was actually just a burial mound. After Youyou's body was taken away, it was burned directly, and her ashes were scattered in a mass grave.
The ancients paid great attention to burial, and cremation was an extremely cruel punishment for the deceased.
Master Xie came over, patted Xie Xiaowu's shoulder, and sighed deeply: "Just do whatever you want to do! Don't worry about your family."
Xie Xiaowu glanced at the grave in front of him again, his eyes slowly became firm, then he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Master Xie, then stood up and left step by step.
People in the village said that Xie Xiucai was very lucky. He suffered from a terminal illness the year before last. After a year or two, a barefoot man at the entrance of the village concluded that there was no cure for it. He almost ran out of breath. After half a month, he was carried into the city. He came back alive and well.
……
After six years, Xie Xiaowu finally came to Youyou’s grave again.
A young man in a crimson official robe half-knelt on the ground, looked at the writing on the tombstone, and said softly:
His little girl would never see this scene of revenge.
In the extreme pain, Emperor Yongtai finally regretted, regretted that he should not torture and kill those innocent girls, regretted forcing Youyou to death, but what was the use of this?
According to the later memories of people in the city, this Lingchi torture lasted for three full days. The newly appointed prison chief personally held the knife, and the prisoner did not die until dark on the last day.
Apart from being too thin, there seems to be nothing wrong with his body, but he has become more silent.
The eldest princess's heart skipped a beat, he really knew...
As the eldest princess, she must get what she likes.
Hearing this, Xie Xiaowu's eyes suddenly filled with anger, he took a few steps back and sneered:
Xie Xiaowu didn't seem to hear it, and continued to draw the knife steadily.
……
The scandal of the Tian family was made known to everyone, and Emperor Yongtai's reputation has been infamy for thousands of years.
When King Xiang's side was about to lose, the emperor was in a good mood and invited a group of concubines to drink and have fun. Because they went too far, the emperor suddenly died on the dragon bed.
Xie Xiaowu was walking aimlessly in the city with his blood-stained clothes on. There was a commotion behind him, and a distressed lady rushed in front of him.
What do you call me now? "
He felt humiliated, but now it was no longer six years ago, when the fish that his predecessor had slaughtered had become a knife, and he had become the fish on the chopping board, and instead he was slaughtered by others.
Xie Xiaowu just leaned against the tree, with his long eyelashes hanging down, and watched emotionlessly as the man's head was pressed to the ground again and again.
However, the next year, King Xiang, who was far away in Shu, suddenly rebelled. No one in the court, including the emperor, took this person seriously, because King Xiang had neither military power nor connections in the court.
"The punishment of Lingchi is said to be capable of cutting more than three thousand cuts at most. This is my first time learning how to do it, so please bear with me."
In just over a year, he was promoted from a sixth-rank Hanlin editor to a fourth-rank scholar, and became the emperor's most trusted confidant.
The eldest princess eagerly pulled Xie Xiaowu's arm.
"Master Xie, the people from the front office came and took away several guests from my palace. Is there any misunderstanding?
Thank you, Sir, I helped you at least in the past..."
Have the ministers not recovered yet? The secret passage in the palace was suddenly dug up, revealing the corpses of countless girls. The violence and filthiness of the Yellow Emperor hidden under the gentle appearance was nakedly revealed. For a time, everyone was shocked.
But this was an era where monarchy was supreme, and people in heaven and earth had a natural respect for Huang Quan. Even though Emperor Yongtai was unfilial and disloyal, he still had a large group of supporters.
Looking at the pool of blood on the ground, while feeling relieved, his heart felt desolate.
Three years later, Xie Xiucai took the Qiu Wei examination and won the title of Jieyuan. The following year, he entered the capital in Chun Wei and came first in all imperial examinations.
He is the third-level scholar who has been hard to come by in more than ten years. He is extremely popular because of his wallpaper. It is said that although Xie Zhuangyuan is a practical person, he has a withdrawn personality and has the potential to become an independent city.
This just suited the emperor's role as an actor. In the next one or two years, Xie Zhuangyuan became a knife in the emperor's hand, specially doing dirty and dirty work for him. For a while, Jane was in the emperor's heart.
"Youyou, this time, I brought the murderer who forced us to death."
It's a pity that she didn't expect Youyou to make this move, which directly ruined her plan.
But who would have thought that he succeeded in the end, because he had the cooperation of the emperor's favorite, Mr. He killed the late emperor and killed several of his legitimate sons.
Why else? Of course it's out of a woman's jealousy, jealous of her youth and beauty, jealous of her being able to have such a pure love.
"Oh, me!" Xie Xiaowu leaned over and stared at him: "Every three-year-old child in the capital knows that the current Emperor Yongtai died suddenly on the dragon bed seven days ago due to excessive indulgence, and now his body has been sent to the imperial mausoleum.
Six years ago, where Youyou fell into the city wall, Emperor Yongtai was tied to a pillar. Xie Xiaowu approached step by step with a knife:
The man struggled angrily, yelling vaguely, but as the tip of the knife fell again and again, the struggle and yelling turned into begging for mercy.
The guard didn't let go until he kowtowed a thousand times.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man with disheveled hair was dragged over.
Xie Xiaowu retracted his knife and looked at the face of the woman in front of him: "I heard that the eldest princess and her lover had a strong record of conquering five men in one night. Such good physical strength cannot be wasted. "
"You have helped us, Princess, why do you have the nerve to say this?
If you hadn't told someone how beautiful and special Youyou was in the emperor's ears, the Emperor wouldn't have stopped by Jiangnan during his private visit in private, and Youyou might never have been noticed by him! "
Xie Xiaowu twitched his lips: "It's rare that you still remember me!"
Ah Cai, the young man, took a closer look and found that this was Princess Rongli who used to be aloof but was now imprisoned in the mansion.
Xie Xiaowu raised his sword and pointed it at her, his voice gritted: "If you want to get me, just come to me. Why...why do you want to hurt Youyou? She is so innocent!"
After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked him in the crook of the leg. The man felt the pain and instinctively knelt down. After reacting, he stared and stood up: "How dare you let me kneel in front of an ignorant woman!"
A month later, the fifth son of the Xie family, the largest trading house in the south of the Yangtze River, set himself on fire due to emotional distress. His ashes were scattered in a mass grave. At that moment, countless people secretly sighed, what a pair of fateful mandarin ducks!
At the same time, the remarks that had been suppressed resurfaced again. The emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, was secretly so angry that he threw countless precious porcelains. After the secret guards confirmed that Xie Xiaowu was indeed dead, he finally felt better.
At the same time, in a small village in the north, a poor scholar named Xie was studying hard.
After the man saw Xie Xiaowu's face clearly, he struggled angrily: "It's you..."
After he finished speaking, he kicked him again, knocking the person to his knees again. Emperor Yongtai wanted to struggle, but a guard stepped forward and clamped his arms tightly, then faced the direction of the tombstone, pressed his head and knocked him hard on the ground.
Even when talking about such a topic, his tone was cold without a trace of warmth.
He ordered the guards behind him: "Qunfang Pavilion in the capital is still short of a top talent. Let her face be modified and sent to Qunfang Pavilion. Tell the person in charge that she will not be allowed to rest until she receives ten guests a day. Also, use the best food." Medicinal materials, she is not allowed to die within ten years.”
"No, I am the eldest princess..."
Xie Xiaowu Shi Ran dusted off his robe and said, "Princess Rongli became ill from worry because she missed the late Emperor too much. She died of illness today. I'm afraid this aunt is confused."
The eldest princess turned pale in horror.
Watching the woman being dragged away, Xie Xiaowu only felt bored.
The great revenge was finally avenged, and his heart was empty.
……
All the common things were taken care of, and Xie Xiaowu arranged them carefully. He said goodbye to his family, took the wine, and came to Youyou's tomb.
He held the lines on the tombstone with his fingers and said in a low voice:
"Youyou, I can finally go find you!
I don’t know where you are now. If there really was an underworld, you would have been reincarnated long ago!
But it doesn’t matter, I will always find you..."
After saying that, he opened the mud seal, leaned against the grave, and calmly raised the wine glass to his lips.
He has four older brothers, so he doesn't have to worry about his parents having no one to care for them in their old age. He has nothing to care about in this world, and he can't find the meaning of living.
The next moment, an old voice flashed through my ears:
"Donor, please wait!"
Xie Xiaowu looked up and saw a white-bearded monk appearing in front of him. The monk looked very old, but he was in great spirits. His eyes were not cloudy. Instead, he had a thorough understanding of the world and wisdom.
Xie Xiaowu was stunned for a moment but stood up politely and asked, "Master, are you okay?"
The old monk clasped his hands and recited, "Amitabha, that female benefactor is not from this world. Even if the benefactor drinks the poisonous wine in her hand, she will not be able to reach the so-called Naihe Bridge and will not be able to see her sweetheart."
Based on his identity, the old monk suddenly appeared and said such words again. It looked like someone did it deliberately, but Xie Xiaowu still said: "You mean, she left here and returned to her." In the original world, how do I find her?”
The old monk stroked his gray beard: "I don't know about this... but I once heard an eminent monk say in the past that if a person does enough good deeds to benefit the people and the country during his lifetime, his merits will increase after his death. If you have a good body, you can use your merits to make deals with Shangcang."
This sounded very impressive. Xie Xiaowu didn't say anything, and the old monk didn't emphasize a word. He finished what needed to be said. After performing a Buddhist ritual, he turned around and walked away.
Even though the old monk did look like that, from a rational point of view, it was completely a slightly higher-end deception, but Xie Xiaowu looked like a drowning man catching a piece of driftwood.
What if what he said was true?
If Youyou really went to another world, wouldn't he be able to find her even if he died?
……
Over the years since then, there has been a new Mr. Xie in the court who is dedicated to serving the people.
He gave up the opportunity to be a close minister of the emperor and took a pair of troops as envoys to the Western Regions. Six years passed in the blink of an eye amid the yellow sand in the sky. Mr. Xie opened up the trade between Jingchao and several small countries in the Western Regions, and brought back many seeds such as cotton and sweet potatoes.
After meeting His Majesty, Xie Xiaowu left the city without stopping and came to Youyou's tomb.
Opening the bag, there were many strange gadgets inside. Xie Xiaowu picked up an exquisite glass mirror and said, "You used to think that bronze mirrors couldn't reflect people's faces well. When I saw this thing for the first time, I knew you were sure." Like..." He took out the things one by one and explained them one by one.
"You said that after we get married, you want to travel around and write down meaningful things as a travel diary. I'm halfway done."
He avoided those hardships, Xu Xu talked about the interesting things he saw on the road, from dawn to dusk, until he fell asleep from exhaustion, and was taken down the mountain by his followers.
Based on the merits of this mission to the Western Regions, Xie Xiaowu could have been promoted to a noble rank, but except for the title given to his mother, he rejected all the others and applied to be a county magistrate in the most remote province.
Another six years have passed, and Lingnan, which used to be the poorest and most backward, is now the largest fruit and medicinal production and planting area in Jing Dynasty.
Xie Xiaowu, who is already thirty-eight years old, has a lot of weathered eyes, but his face is still handsome. This time he brought more than a dozen kinds of strange fruits to Youyou.
"This is jackfruit, which tastes very sweet. This is mango, which tastes okay. This is durian. Although it smells bad, it tastes good. You must like it..."
"...At first I thought the mountain people in Lingnan were ignorant, and they were just a group of uneducated barbarians. But after all these six years, they actually have something cute about them. They are all human beings for the first time, and they are not born to want to live like that. "
He put his head against the tombstone, sighed and said:
"Youyou, I think I have changed. It turned out that I went to the Western Regions and Lingnan as an envoy because of the old monk's words, to do good things for the sake of doing good things.
However, when I saw the naked people living a good life, and when I watched the villagers who wanted to sacrifice human beings because of feudal ignorance, they gradually became sober under the guidance of the government, I didn’t know when my mood changed. .
I want to manage this place well and make the people here live a better life. It is no longer because of a certain person, but just because of this. "
He smiled and said, "I wonder if you would be angry if you could hear me?"
But I knew in my heart, how could Youyou be angry? His little girl will just be happy that he finally found his way.
Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Xie Xiaowu, who is already the chief minister of the dynasty, has a lot of white hair on his temples. He is dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his back becomes more and more lonely:
"Youyou, after the third brother, the fourth brother also passed away a few days ago, and my last relative has also passed away."
He was leaning in front of the tombstone, holding a carving knife in his hand, and was carving a rabbit-shaped stone ornament.
This is a new hobby of his in recent years. He digs out the strange stones that Youyou brought back from his subordinate area and carves them in front of the tombstones.
Because Youyou once casually said that these stones should be carved into the twelve zodiac signs and placed in the study to refresh the mind.
Although he felt dizzy and nauseated as soon as he touched the stone, he didn't care and slid the carving knife down like a self-torture.
The emperor died due to illness, so he appointed his six-year-old legitimate son as the emperor, and appointed Xie Xiaowu as his assistant minister.
"That child Yu'er's eyes look exactly like yours, and he's just as greedy as you. If we have a child, he'll probably..." He stopped talking.
However, he treated the young emperor as his own son and taught him carefully. Although the young emperor is naughty, he is also quite smart. The Young Emperor once said more than once that it was my great fortune to meet Mr. Xie in this life.
However, for such a sincere and filial child in the past, after taking office, Xie Xiaowu's new policies were repeatedly frustrated.
After two or three years of procrastination, the reform was finally carried out, and Xie Xiaowu had also worked hard, and the fledgling new emperor finally raised his butcher's knife against his former mentor.
Beside the tombstone, an increasingly older man was drinking wine silently. His back was lonely, and his once straight back was bent.
The next day, after more than thirty years in the dynasty, Xie Fufu, who had assisted three emperors, passed away. The people were more sad than the dead emperor. When Xie Shoufu was buried, the people who came to see him off lined up outside the city and refused to leave no matter how hard the officers and soldiers drove them away.
However, within three days, censor officials who were responsible for impeaching Xie Xiaowu sprung up in the court. There were dozens of charges, and it seemed that there was sufficient evidence. The new emperor had no choice but to deal with it impartially with tears in his eyes and sent people to inspect Xie's mansion.
Xie Xiaowu only had two old servants to serve him on a daily basis, so naturally he had nothing to copy. The new emperor became so angry that he ordered someone to open the coffin and whip the corpse.
However, it was originally an empty grave. His body had been burned and his ashes were scattered in the former mass grave.
……
The sentences on the paper were obviously rigid and rigid, obviously generated by the system's keyword search, and the plot was bloody, but after Youyou finished reading it, she felt her heart aching for a moment.
It seemed as if a grave really appeared in my mind, and the figure of a man from youth to old age appeared.
She asked the system: "This is fake, right?"
The system was silent for a moment: [...Yes. 】
Then the tone of the conversation changed, and it turned into the coquettish and clingy one again: [Oh, host, you're not tired, go lie down and go to sleep! 】
Youyou finally saw the power of the rules of the universe. The closer she got to the earth, the blurr her memory of the interstellar era became. It was obvious that she would never forget anything since she was born.
Until the end, she couldn't even remember why she came here. Naturally, the memory of that novel was quickly forgotten.
……
Bai Ze watched the girl disappear, feeling a rare feeling of reluctance. In this little girl, he seemed to see the smoke written in the book.
Tangtang asked Bai Ze to send him to the earth. Bai Ze frowned in confusion: "You are just a string of codes. Even if you have independent consciousness, you will not be able to reach her when you go to the earth. And she no longer needs you. She has Go your own way."
"I know that most systems that have developed autonomous consciousness will be destroyed, and better ones will be formatted. But for a system that has developed autonomous consciousness, what is the difference between this and destruction? They are all dead anyway, so why not take a gamble? Bundle!"
Seeing that it persisted, Bai Ze let it go.
……
Youyou opened her eyes from her sleep, opened the curtains, and bright sunlight came in, making her feel warm. The little guy squinted his eyes comfortably.
It had been several months since she came back. She still remembered that she had taken away all the energy stones. She didn't remember much of what happened after that. She only remembered that a very good-looking uncle wanted to take her away, but she insisted on staying on Earth. .
After washing up, I went downstairs and smelled the aroma of rice from a distance. Mom made his favorite breakfast, and dad was sweeping the yard.
They moved back to the courtyard they entered. It wasn't that they couldn't live in a big house, but they felt comfortable living here.
A family of three sat around the table to have breakfast, occasionally chatting about home affairs. Youyou picked up a crab roe bun with a satisfied smile on her face. She was very satisfied with her current life. She had parents who loved her and people with whom she could talk. Good friends, life is happy and fulfilling.
It was Youyou's eighth birthday in two days. Jiang Boyan and Ji Wanwan made time early and agreed to take their daughter to the beach.
Youyou put on a beautiful little dress and made an appointment with Mango, Tao Pingan, Xie Fanqing and other good friends.
From a distance, he saw Tao Ping'an holding a big lobster on his sleeve, and he was so frightened that he screamed strangely.
Youyou took a few steps forward and laughed rudely: "You are so old, but you are still afraid of lobsters, are you ashamed?"
Tao Ping'an's screams became more and more exaggerated. Youyou couldn't stand it, so she reached out and tried to pull him away. Tao Ping'an took the lead, grabbed the lobster very calmly, and made a move to throw it at Youyou, laughing "hahaha".
Youyou reacted faster and took the big crab from Mango's hand and stuffed it into his arms, making several children laugh and make a fuss.
Xie Fanqing, who was standing not far away, shouted impatiently: "Stop making trouble and come over to work. Do you want to go to sea today?"
Youyou happily ran over: "We are the only ones who want to go to sea. Where is Xie Jingze?"
"He said he was going to buy something, and here he is!"
Xie Fanqing pointed to the opposite side, and Youyou turned around to look. He was already tall and tall, looking tall and energetic, and he was walking towards them against the light.
Youyou stared at him and blurted out: "Thank you Xiaowu."
Xie Jingze strode over and looked at her strangely: "What did you call me?"
After Youyou shouted, she was stunned and scratched her head: "I don't know, I just suddenly wanted to call you that."
Xie Fanqing on the side laughed and said, "That's right. My cousin is indeed ranked fifth in the Xie family."
Youyou blinked: "Really? That's quite a coincidence."
Xie Jingze didn't take it seriously and handed her the bag he was carrying: "On the way, we met a store that makes traditional pastries passed down from our ancestors. Their sweet-scented osmanthus cake is very famous."
Youyou took it, opened the oil paper bag and tasted it, her eyes lit up, and she nodded vaguely: "Well, it's delicious, you better understand me..." As she said that, she gave him a thumbs up.
Xie Jingze was amused by her appearance.
They are all still young, and their colorful lives have just begun.
On the way back to the city, Youyou picked up a little fox. The first time she saw it, Youyou felt inexplicably close to it, as if she was an old friend she had known for a long time.
Since then, this little fox has become a member of their family. What is so special about this little guy? In addition to being beautiful and cute, it seems to have an exceptionally long lifespan and has been accompanying its host until old age.
[End of the full text. 】
The story ends here! Because it was my first time to try this kind of cute novel, writing this book was a stumbling block. I wanted to give up many times in the middle, but I always had to give an explanation to the book that was following the update, and also to myself for the past six months.
I am very grateful to all the fairies who have silently supported this book. It is you who gave me the motivation to continue writing!
Okay, that’s it, see you in the next book!
