Chapter 2402 An exhausted life

This is not the first time that I have followed him out for work. I am familiar with his character and behavior. When following him, don't talk too much. You will make many mistakes if you say too much. No matter what he says, it always makes sense.

Seeing that he calmed down Mayor She with just a few words, Rong Yi secretly glanced at the mayor. After he left, she felt itchy in her heart and wanted to ask for more information, but she was afraid that there would be ears in other people's territory, so she held back. .

She Taiyan's face was solemn. When he walked to the backyard, the anxiety on his face could no longer be concealed. He hammered his palms. The Mr. Liu who came from outside was from Beijing. They came so quietly. There was no news at all, it caught him off guard, and now he didn't even know how many people they had brought.

It can be seen that she spoke and acted calmly and down-to-earth just now, and there was no sense of urgency like being in a foreign land. He was very confident. It was precisely because he did not give in at all and showed no signs of letting up just now that he felt more anxious and panicked. The other party was obviously He came prepared. If he goes against them, he will just hit an egg against a stone.

Unlike his uncle, he did not have one-tenth of the courage of the mayor when he was the mayor. Under the game between several parties, the White Tiger Town was barely stabilized, at least not in a more miserable state. He used all his strength.

The uncle is still breathing a breath, and he is still the mayor of Baihu Town. Now, although everyone in Baihu Town calls him the mayor, he is just a false name.

When I walked into the house, a strong and pungent smell hit my face. Ever since my uncle was paralyzed, he has been taking medicine. People who have been soaking in medicine jars all year round always have an indescribable smell on their bodies. In addition, he is paralyzed and cannot take care of himself. Even if a special person is sent to ensure that his body is clean, no matter how he protects a lifeless, rotten person who is about to rot, he is still playing with the God of Death, which only adds a layer of unbearable pain to his precipitous life. suffering.

……

There is an evergreen tree planted outside the window. Due to the climate in Baihu Town, this tree does not grow healthy and is even a little deformed.

Before She Yuqing was paralyzed, the climate in Baihu Town was not bad. The trees, vegetation, animals, and people here were all year round. Even if there would be a period of time that was difficult, as long as they got through it, they would be like dead trees blooming in spring and rising to the sun.

After he was paralyzed, the entire Baihu Town seemed to take a turn for the worse, with yellow sand filling the sky and water sources drying up, making it difficult for people here to survive.

The evergreen tree in the courtyard outside the window was once planted by him. Now looking at this tree, he often thinks that this tree is just like his life. He has been baptized by wind and rain in his life and has never seen the sun. , the heavy rain hit the branches and leaves, bending its spine, but the slightest light could not bring life.

To say it is a tree, it is better to say that he is like an ascetic, living in the world, struggling hard, experiencing wind and sun, describing the many sufferings in the world, and the shackles that bind him, sleepy Where his lifeline lies, he raises his head and cannot see the sun.

"Uncle."

Seeing his lonely back, sitting in front of the window sill and looking out the window with an empty expression, She Taiyan shouted.

"Why are you here?" His voice was calm and without any fluctuation, as if nothing in this world would cause any further fluctuations in his life.

Yu Taiyan took a deep breath, walked closer, and said, "Uncle, someone is coming from the capital."

She Yuqing's eyelids twitched and she slowly turned her head to look at him.

"He is a descendant of General Liu."

After finishing speaking, the uncle's hand on the armrest could be seen tightening.

"Did the emperor give the order? Or was it for some other reason?"

She Taiyan: "They did not go out to call for orders from the capital. It seems they are here for an unannounced visit. If it is just a visit, it will not be beneficial to us."

She Yuqing was silent for a long time, thinking to himself that after so long, it was Baihu Town's turn to go down one level at a time. Especially in recent years, the Southern Barbarians have been unruly and often causing chaos, so they should have been dealt with long ago. "They want to see me, come and push me out."

Yu Taiyan hesitated for a moment: "My nephew has something to say. Don't be surprised if my uncle heard it. They are coming from Beijing. Who knows if they are just going through the motions and coping with the problem? We will treat them as life-saving straw, but what if they just If you come here to do some face-saving work and then go back, then we people... we are the ones who have to suffer, and no one will bear the consequences for us."

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the room for a while.

After a long time, I heard my uncle say: "Don't let me hear such bastard words again. You can't trust the imperial court, let alone the loyal General Liu. If it were someone else here today, I wouldn't say anything, but that's The descendants of General Liu must not distrust him."

If even the descendants of the Liu family couldn't believe it in this world, then the world would have been in chaos long ago.

Hearing what his uncle said, She Taiyan felt as if a stone had been pressed in his heart. After so many years of hard work in Baihu Town, he had seen too many things. His suspicion was also forced by the world.

The uncle still has a heart of sincerity and loyalty, but now that he is middle-aged, he just wants to live the rest of his life in peace. He is afraid that he will never be able to withstand another crisis.

Seeing his heavy expression, She Yuqing could not help but speak sincerely.

"You are on guard because you have been engaged in this game for so many years and have never succeeded in a game. You have been caught in this game several times and only managed to maintain a little stability. It is also your uncle's fault. He has never let you feel what it feels like to turn over. , so now that the time has come, you don’t even dare to reach out and try.”

These words made him blush and feel extremely ashamed. He was not a person who would take the initiative to attack. He acted conservatively and strived for stability. He never dared to bet on the eventuality. He had no soldiers, no power, and no manpower. He only kept this surname, supported himself, and acted as a protective umbrella over the heads of the people.

"I...I listen to you!"

……

It was inconvenient for She Yuqing to move, so She Taiyan invited the two of them to the backyard.

As soon as they met, She Yuqing's eyes flickered slightly. He stretched out his hand and beat his legs, and said with a smile: "Forgive me as an old man for not being able to stand up and welcome you two."

"My lord, I am tired. Your Majesty will know everything you have done."

She Taiyan took a deep breath, and She Yuqing said: "As an official in this world, I have a clear conscience. No matter what fate I end up with, I will be happy with it. I don't dare to take credit or ask for rewards."

After that, he added: "I was injured on my body, but the people of Baihu Town were injured on the foundation. Only by rescuing them can the bruises slowly heal and this piece of land be able to see the light of day again."

"Don't worry, Sir, we are doing our best. We are here this time just for this matter. We also ask for your help."
