Chapter 44
What happened on Ruyi Street made Shen Yuxue feel stuck in his throat, the light was dim, the blood stains and injuries made him unable to see the person in the cage clearly, and he couldn't guess the identity of the other person.
But he felt terrified, which is the feeling only when facing extreme danger.
Guanshi Zhu saw that he was in a bad mood, so he kept quiet all the way, and he was relieved when he reached Jujiu Alley. Standing at the entrance of the alley, he felt a bit of cold wind, and he suddenly realized that his back was already soaked in cold sweat.
The alley was filled with the smell of wine, Shen Yi and an old lady stood at the door of the alley, they didn't know what they were talking about, the old lady was full of joy and blushed.
"You're such a sweet kid. I feel much more comfortable hearing you say that. This time, I won't argue with the old man. Next time, I'll pack up and go back to my mother's house."
The aunt was holding a basket with two jugs of wine in it, she handed the basket to Shen Yi, and said sadly: "Auntie, the most regrettable thing in my life is that the children at home left early, and every time I look at you, I feel very sad. I like it, you must stay, I still want to come and see it from time to time.”
What the aunt gave was the first wine brewed at home. As long as Shen Yi made a little change on this basis, he could make a different taste.Strictly speaking, this is already suspected of helping to cheat.
It seems that the aunt really likes Shen Yi, otherwise she wouldn't do something against the rules.
Shen Yi didn't take her wine, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, we have a wine making master here, so we won't miss the game."
You can't make wine with the hands of the residents, even if the other party is really kind, Shen Yi dare not accept it rashly.
The aunt's eyes lit up, and she said, "Really? That's really great."
She was sincerely happy, patted her chest|chest, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Since there is a winemaker, this wine is not suitable anymore. I will replace it with a new one for you so that you can taste our wine." The aunt turned and went home after saying that, without giving Shen Yi the slightest chance to refuse.
Their house and Shen Yi's side are diagonally opposite, very close.
Shen Yi shook his head helplessly, and when he looked up and saw Shen Yuxue, he immediately put on a smiling face: "Brother, are you having fun?"
As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, he noticed that Shen Yuxue's expression was not right. His eyes were slightly lowered, and he looked at Guanshi Zhu.Manager Zhu shrugged helplessly, he really wasn't to blame for this.
Shen Yuxue asked Guanshi Zhu to enter the door first, and handed over the things in his hand to Jiang Yunye.He looked at the open courtyard door of the aunt's house and asked, "Is this the neighbor who helped you before?"
Shen Yi said: "Yes, she is also quite pitiful, there are only her and her husband in the family, and the children they raised before all died young."
The neighbors in Jujiu Alley each have a different story. This aunt has no children, her next door is a widower, and the house directly opposite Shen Yi and the others has a sick wife who needs to be taken care of...
A small alley, full of life.Life gave them hardships, but they did not give up their love for life. The neighbors were harmonious and helpful.
After two or three sentences between Shen Yi and Shen Yuxue, the aunt came over with new wine and stuffed it into Shen Yi's arms without saying a word.The aunt noticed Shen Yuxue and boasted: "You are so handsome, is this the winemaker you invited?"
Shen Yuxue only wears a mask when she goes out, and takes it away when she gets home.
Shen Yi said: "No, he is my elder brother."
The aunt was a little surprised, her eyes became kind and kind, and she muttered: "Your brother is as good-looking as you."
Shen Yi couldn't help smiling, the more she watched, the more she liked Shen Yuxue, she felt that Shen Yuxue was a handsome young man, she was a rare young talent, and said enthusiastically: "Is your brother married? I know a few girls who are waiting for marriage, do you want me to introduce you to her?" ?”
One of you is to include both brothers, and no one is biased. Shen Yi almost didn't pick up the words, and obviously felt a very strong line of sight on the back.
With such a good opportunity, Shen Yi had to put Jiang Yunye in a difficult position.
Just when he was thinking about how to annoy others without embarrassing Shen Yuxue, Shen Yuxue said: "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a family."
The aunt was a little disappointed, and then turned her gaze to Shen Yi. Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by a rush of drums.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of the drums was as dense as raindrops, stirring up a sense of uneasiness in this cloudy day.
The eager smile on the aunt's face froze, she raised her head to look at the sky in some horror, grabbed her sleeve, and looked uneasy.
This was the first time Shen Yuxue and the others heard the sound of drums, and they looked up at the sky in bewilderment.Shen Yuxue flew up, jumped onto the roof, and checked the direction from which the drum sound came.
The peace in the city disappeared under the sound of the drums.The city was overwhelmed by spiritual power, and most of the monks were on alert, and the hawkers who peddled along the street began to close their stalls and rush home.
A drum appeared out of nowhere in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. A middle-aged man was holding a drumstick. Every time he hit the drum, there would be an anti-shock force from the drum, and the aftermath would spread in all directions.
Shen Yi asked puzzledly: "Ma'am, what happened?"
"When the war drum sounds, it means that there is going to be a war. The last time we almost lost everyone in the city. I don't know why this time. It's hard to fight." The aunt said worriedly: "Every time At this time, I don't know if the reception can still be held."
Shen Yuxue noticed the strangeness in the aunt's words, he flew down from the roof, and asked, "Every time is this time? Then what was the last time?"
The aunt's expression was a little dull, and she frowned in confusion, feeling at a loss about Shen Yuxue's question.She scratched her head, but she only vaguely had such a memory, but when she thought about it seriously, the memory seemed to have touched the forbidden | area, without any feedback.
A mortal's life is short, if she had really experienced it, she would not be able to forget it easily, unless it was some kind of restriction that prevented her from remembering it.
"War, many people died." The aunt frowned, her thoughts were a little confused: "It seems that our city lord invited a dragon..."
The aunt paused, and then denied it: "Ah, no, it seems that there is no such thing."
The chaotic memory made the aunt's complexion ugly, and a phantom appeared on her body for a short time. Shen Yuxue quickly interrupted her memory and said: "So that's how it is."
The aunt agreed: "Yes, that's it."
But she didn't actually say what happened.
Shen Yi vaguely guessed, he told the aunt to go home quickly, don't think too much.The aunt nodded again and again, turned around and walked home.
The drums sounded a full 49 times, and strong uneasiness shrouded the sky over Liberty City.
The two of Shen Yuxue walked into the yard, and the other three put down their work at the same time, and looked over in unison.
Hai Li picked out his ears and asked, "Little Yu'er, what's going on outside?"
The sound of the drums was rapid|quick and sudden, Hai Li was woken up from his sleep, and that feeling was not pleasant.
Shen Yuxue thought of all the signs today, and expressed her inference: "This city has experienced a large-scale war, with countless casualties and few survivors. Perhaps it was because some people were unwilling to reconcile, and used their supernatural powers to go back in time. To save all of this. In the end, he failed, and instead let the city fall into an endless cycle."
The aunt's memory was confused, she knew that there was going to be a war, and she still had the memory of the war, but she couldn't describe the war.She feels that the war has already happened, and the next one is a new war.
But in fact, she has always been in the same timeline. Because of the failure of the spell, they will come back at a certain point in time. Over time, their memories will still be triggered by certain things, but it is not clear.
Shen Yuxue frowned slightly when she thought of Qinglong mentioned by her aunt.If Qinglong had been trapped in this tower, or even caught in the cycle of this city for a while, where would he be now?
Is he still in this reincarnation, or has he jumped out of this reincarnation?
The person locked in the cage flashed in Shen Yuxue's mind, but then he denied this idea, the other party did not have the aura of a green dragon, and even the aura of a living person was very weak.
"This city is reincarnated, so don't we also..." Zhu Guanshi showed a strange expression on his face. The people in the city are already in a strange circle, and they can live no matter how they reincarnate.But they are outsiders, once reincarnation starts, they are in danger,
Shen Yi pondered: "We need to break this vicious circle and help them end the war?"
Shen Yuxue shook her head, not jumping to conclusions.They don't even know what kind of war it is now, so how can it end?
The person who built this tower has great supernatural powers, and even he can't end the war, what chance do outsiders like them have to win?
For a while, everyone was silent.The sky was covered with dark clouds, the sun hid in the thick clouds, and the cold wind whizzed past.
Hai Li took care of his long beard that had regained its softness, looked at Jiang Yunye who was standing in the winery, and asked, "Is the wine still brewing?"
The drums of war have already been sounded in the city, and the wine fighting conference is full of uncertainty.
"Brewing." Shen Yuxue said: "If you don't brew wine, your spiritual power will disappear. If you really encounter a battle, wouldn't you tie your hands? Since Liberty City has given this task, it means that everyone has survived until the wine fighting meeting."
It was the first time the war drum was sounded in the city today, but no enemies came. It was more like a warning, telling everyone to be vigilant.
Shen Yuxue is more inclined to war after the wine fight meeting.
"I bought everything back, it's a pity not to brew it." Jiang Yunye looked at the pile of materials in front of him, all of them were of good quality.
After Shen Yuxue went out, he had already finished the preparations and was only waiting for the ingredients to be brewed.
Those who make wine are not too troublesome, and others naturally don't want to say much.Shen Yuxue wanted to step forward to help, but when he thought of what Jiang Yunye said this morning, he stopped again.
At this time, he would only add to the chaos by leaning over.
Shen Yuxue held back and sat back to where she was this morning.He closed his eyes on the recliner, recalling what happened these days, whether it was the past between him and Lu Yan, or the current reincarnation, they were all closely connected with the word reincarnation.
Reincarnation involves endless cause and effect, and sometimes it is not even a good cause that will definitely result in a good result. Many things in this world are counterproductive.
Backfired?
Shen Yuxue suddenly thought that perhaps the important thing was not reincarnation, but the opposite of what happened.He saved Yan Nangui, hoping that he would become an upright person, but Yan Nangui was wronged.The people who saved Liberty City wanted to resurrect everyone, only to make them suffer even more.
He was disappointed with Yan Nangui, and his belief in saving people was shaken.Will the person who saved Liberty City be like him, and he regrets it?
"Shen Yi." Shen Yuxue opened her eyes, looked at Shen Yi who was helping to clean the medicinal materials, and asked, "In the past half a month, have you three been the only ones who have entered this city?"
The crystal tower appeared on the surface of the sea undisguisedly, exuding its own breath toward the sky and the earth, fearing that others would not find it.It is deliberately attracting people here, and wants to use the power of the outside world to break the cycle of reincarnation.
It needs people, and the more the better.
