Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Zhao Shu worked all night long. When dawn was approaching, she made two sachets, got up, extinguished the candle in the room, and opened the door.

A chill came over Zhao Shu. She shrugged her shoulders and turned to look at the yard next door.

The yard next door was quiet without any sound. Zhao Shu waited there for a while, and seeing that there was still no movement next door, she turned into the house, put the sachet in her hand into her arms and put it away safely.

Just as Zhao Shu finished everything, there was a knock on the door outside the yard, and someone shouted across the yard: "Miss Shu, it's time for us to leave."

Zhao Shu paused, then turned and walked towards the gate.

Seeing no movement, the person outside the door wanted to knock again, but before his hand touched the door, it was opened from the inside.

The boy knocking on the door was a little embarrassed, but he still said, "Miss Shu, it's time to go."

Zhao Shu nodded, turned around, closed the door, and left with the servant.

As the voices gradually died down and the courtyard gradually became quiet, noises began to be heard from the courtyard next door to Zhao Shu.

Xie Erhou was behind his master: "Since you are so worried about Miss Shu, why don't you go with her?"

Actually, Xie Er had something else to say. Since he was so worried, why not just keep the person close to him and watch him all the time? This would be better than watching someone's candlelight through a wall all night long!

"Those people will only get angrier when they see me. If something happens later, they will think I am protecting Shu'er."

"As long as things are arranged properly, it doesn't matter whether I show up or not."

Zhao Shu followed the servant to the gate of Duan Mansion. Duan Jingheng watched her approach him step by step, and then stopped one step away. He looked at her and said gently: "Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."

Zhao Shu was grateful for the comfort and consideration.

The two stood side by side, and the door was slowly pushed open by the servant. The people who were swarming outside the door instantly appeared in front of Zhao Shu.

As soon as those people saw Zhao Shu's face, they immediately became angry, and then they all moved to the sides, revealing the prison car in the crowd.

Duan Jingheng turned his head and whispered to Zhao Shu, "The prison car is just a formality. There will be guards around the prison car to protect you."

Zhao Shu also knew that she was not going to enjoy herself, so she naturally understood his approach. She walked straight to the prison van, and the guards around the van opened the door for her to step on.

After the iron chain was locked, the prison van started moving. Duan Jingheng jumped on the horse and followed the prison van not far away.

The people surrounded the prison van and followed it closely.

On the side of the prison van, a woman was holding a four or five-year-old child in her arms. The child didn't understand why the sister was sitting in the prison van, and asked curiously: "Sister, why are you sitting in it? Can I sit in it too?"

A smile appeared on Zhao Shu's face. Just as she was about to answer the child, the child's mother pulled the child's head back with force and said sternly, "How dare you sit there for anything! That's where prisoners are detained, don't you know?"

The child did not know what a prisoner meant. He hugged his mother's neck and asked, "Mom, what is a prisoner?"

The woman glanced at Zhao Shu with contempt: "You are a bad person!"

Child: "What did my sister do that was bad? Did she wet the bed like Da Zhuang?"

Speaking of this woman, she felt her teeth itching: "Da Zhuang's parents were killed by this evil star!"

The child actually did not understand the true meaning of death, but his father told him that death means a person is gone forever. You think of him when you eat, think of him when you sleep, and think of him when you walk, but that person will never appear again!

The child also asked his father, "Can I go find him?" His father said, "Yes, but I can't find him."

The child didn't like not being able to find the person he liked. If that happened, he would be very upset. Thinking of this, the child burst into tears and choked up at Zhao Shu while crying, "Sister, can you return Da Zhuang's parents to him? He eats and sleeps alone now, and no one tells him stories or holds him up."

The child looked at Zhao Shu with tears in his eyes: "Sister, Da Zhuang misses his father and mother. He has been sitting at the door waiting for his father and mother, but he has waited from day to night and they never came. Sister, can you return Da Zhuang's parents to him?" The child's crying affected the emotions of the people around him. Those who lost their loved ones in the plague began to sob in the crowd.

A boy about ten years old suddenly threw a stone at Zhao Shu: "Give my sister back to me! Give my sister back to me!"

The people wanted to eat Zhao Shu alive, "Disaster star, it's all because of you that my husband left me!"

"It's all because of you. My mother was sick, and my father went to the mountains to find medicine for her. He never came back. When we found him, half of his body had been bitten by wild dogs."

Zhao Shu could hear the sounds of condemnation and crying all the time, and she felt sad. It seemed that only by pushing the blame onto others could the guilt and uneasiness in her heart be alleviated.

Zhao Shu looked at those people who were looking at her with ferocious faces, her heart was blank. The voices of this group of people gradually faded in her ears. She couldn't help but wonder when all this absurdity started. Was it when she was alienated by her parents and relatives when she was young, or when she came to Mi County to pray for her younger brother?
Xie Er looked at his master worriedly. He had previously advised his master to stay close to guard Miss Shu, but now, he wished he could beat himself to death for speaking before.

Xie Jin looked at the girl in the prison van with red eyes and pale face. Xie Er had every reason to believe that if his master had not been afraid that his presence would bring more harm to Miss Shu, his master would have rushed to the prison van and protected the girl inside tightly.

Before coming here, Xie Jin had clearly thought about all the scenarios that Shu'er would encounter. He thought he would be very calm and his emotions would not fluctuate too much. But it was not until this moment that he realized that his self-proclaimed calmness was false. At this moment, his heart was tightly clenched, it hurt so much that he almost couldn't breathe.

He wanted to shut up those who called her a "witch", "disaster star" and "calamity". He wanted to do so badly that his whole body ached.

Xie Jin turned around with a stiff face and looked at Xie Er: "You said, this road is so long, so long that I can hardly walk anymore."

Xie Er looked at his master worriedly: "Prince, how about we go back?"

Xie Jin shook his head woodenly: "I want to stay here with her. If I leave, she will be scared and alone. What will she do?"

Xie Er looked at Miss Shu in the prison van, then looked at where they were hiding now, and thought, even if they were with Miss Shu all the time, she wouldn't know.

Fortunately, the execution ground was not far away, and after walking for another quarter of an hour, they arrived there.

The guards opened the prison van, and Zhao Shu walked towards the execution ground surrounded by the guards. Duan Jingheng sat down on the main platform of the execution ground.

The executioner on the execution ground pressed Zhao Shu's hands and made her kneel on the ground. Duan Jingheng paused for a moment, then said calmly: "Zhao Shu, do you plead guilty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep and steady voice came from a distance: "She is innocent!"

The people looked in the direction of the voice, and when they saw who was speaking, they were shocked: "Mr. Li!"

The man who came was a highly respected sorcerer in Mi County. Because he had never made a mistake in divination, the people of Mi County liked to call him Half Immortal. However, he did not like them to call him that, saying that calling him that would shorten his lifespan. Therefore, the people called him Mr. Li!

The people moved to the sides, and Mr. Li walked along the middle path to the steps of the execution ground. He slowly raised his arm, pointed at Zhao Shu and said, "She is not guilty!"

Someone in the crowd screamed, "Impossible! It's because she came to Mi County that Mi County has become like this. She is guilty. She is the sinner of Mi County!"

Someone echoed, "Yes, Mr. Li, you are wrong, right?"
