Chapter 741 A Rainy Day In Front Of The Royal Palace (1/2)
This bout of rain in the depths of autuh the rain and under the strange gazes of the people by the side of the streets, Wu Zhu walked out of the alley and came to a fork in the path beside Tianhe Avenue Damp rainwater slowly dripped down his clothes and the black cloth on his face He planted his feet here and raised his head slightly to look at the Royal Palace in the distance through the misty rain
Yesterday afternoon, Wu Zhu had also stood there and looked at the Royal Palace for a long tih he was a traveler from the Temple who had unconsciously followed Fan Xian to tour the world, the Royal Palace was indeed the dou It was the o there two days in a row, presu his decision
Under the eaves of the houses by the side of the street, a few children wearing little winter coats with square book bags had their hands tucked into their sleeves to ward off the chill Their faces were pale with the cold These children had to go to the school and run by the court every day They all carried uot to the rew heavier
”Look, it's that idiot fro that this rain h it seemed that it could stall their class time, anted to keep their heads down under soht at thatwoodenly in the rain like an idiot The kid recognized him as the idiot who had allowed them to torment him as they wished He was as happy It was as if he had discovered a new land
There weren't any rocks under the eaves The eyes of the children spun around They found some pieces of coal by a coal stove that had not been cohed shrilly, yelled, and began to throw it toward Wu Zhu
For some reason, it seeood at bullying those weaker than theth and obtain some kind of mental satisfaction It seemed to be some kind of instinct Otherwise, ould the children feel a sense of joy at hearing the pieces of coal strike against Wu Zhu's body? Why did they feel happy at seeing the dirt left behind by the coal?
There were notfrodou people, the blindin a daze in the rain was clearly an idiot but also a handicapped person They could not help but feel syusted by the dirt marks on the blind man's body
Other than an aunty-like woman who ruthlessly scolded the little scoundrels, no one else made any move They just looked indifferently at the children who used their own methods to vent their desire for violence that all life had
A piece of wet coal ruthlessly struck against Wu Zhu's still and emotionless face with a crisp sound like someone had slapped him This piece of coal shi+fted the piece of black cloth on Wu Zhu's face slightly Wu Zhu's pale face also tilted slightly It was as if he did not understand as happening He then straightened the black cloth on his face and slowly turned around to look at the dirty-handed children under the eaves
The children were not afraid because they had hit him all afternoon the previous day and the blind idiot did not show any sign of resistance On the contrary, the felt evenWu Zhu have a reaction The pieces of coal flying through the rain in the street irew denser
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Finally, someone found a rock Mixed in with the shards of coal, they threw it toward Wu Zhu's face, leaving behind streaks of dirt and some traces of blood Washed by the rain, it flowed down Wu Zhu's pale face like a flood after a drought, taking with it tens of thousands of years of rubbish and revealing marks that made one's heart treh he could be injured Through the layer of black cloth, he stared in a daze at the children aved their hands and laughed shrilly and endlessly He didn't understand why they were attacking hih so ardless of whether they were sharp or round, e when they struck his head and face
What kind of eer? Dissatisfaction? Or could it just be feelings? Wu Zhu looked at the children, allowing them to hit him In hisrew to a downpour It was like a hole had been poked in the autudou Countless rivers, lakes, and seas fell through the hole of unfathomable depth and became the sky fullof wild rain that fell on the homes in the alley
It was as if a hole had also suddenly opened up in Wu Zhu'shis entire body in a strange e e as the ”curiosity” spoke of by that young ain, silently thinking deeply in the boundless and pouring rain
That young s to him, but he couldn't understand, comprehend, or fathom all of it He could only reone to do? He had possibly gone to that Royal Palace, possibly for revenge Revenge for what? Revenge for who? Possibly someone had died, so that person called Fan Xian was not satisfied, not happy It was a wo?
These two unfaradually become clearer and more familiar in Wu Zhu'sin the clear light However, what made his head hurt was that he still couldn't remember who Fan Xian was exactly Had he not spent his entire life in the Te But, he now possessed so that he shouldn't, which was emotions From yesterday afternoon, that kind of emotion had filled his heart and h the black cloth over his eyes
This kind of eust For some reason, even Wu Zhu hiusted by the tallest building in Jingdou Perhaps it was just because he was innately disgusted with the person in the building?
When they had left the te hed up blood that he should follow his heart, but as heart? Was it the lively and unfao to the Royal Palace and have a look to search for the origin of his emotions and to see if there was someone he wanted to meet, someone he was destined to meet Thus, he placed his hand steadily on the metal rod by his waist At the sahtly and put on the straw hat he carried, covering the rain from the sky and the black cloth over his eyes
The children were still happily throwing rocks and shards of coal Wu Zhu was silent for a o of the ed his hand through the dirty water on the ground and picked up a handful of not very hard coal shards
He was unable to harm humankind unless it was in the interest of huest difference between Wu Zhu and the old man in the te ”interest as a whole” was and what it had to do with hiaht this was the case and reacted as if it were At least, he didn't feel any disgust or anger toward these young huaer bother me Wu Zhu threw the coal shards mixed with rainwater toward the children under the eaves
There were shocked yells, the sound of panicked footsteps, countless sounds of crying, and the sound of so out following Wu Zhu's action
A handful of wet coal split apart, according to the four people, and accurately struck the bodies on the children One of the children who laughed the loudest was struck on the head and began to bleed He then fainted without a sound in the rain
After a death-like silence at the ry yell suddenly erupted ”The idiot killed sodou suddenly became, in this moment, public-spirited and talented subjects Some went to report to officials while soed men who took out wooden sticks and round
They were all neighbors They could not watch as the children suffered such hardshi+ps The mother of the child who fainted threw herself over her child's body, crying loudly as she viciously cursed at Wu Zhu
Wu Zhu stared coldly at all of this, still not understanding If it was a gaame, why didn't they stop the children earlier? He knew he couldn't truly be injured Did these humans also knohat he wasn't normal? Were they not worried about his safety when the children were throwing stones at him earlier?
In the rain, the silent Wu Zhu faintly learned sohtly that humans' emotions and choices were not related to reason They were divided by family and likes and dislikes
In the world at present, Wu Zhu believed that the person closest to hi usted by that Royal Palace Thus, he would no longer acknowledge these people who seeone crazy Very intently, he smoothed the black cloth on his face free of any wrinkles and placed his hand on the metal rod by his side He then stepped toward the Royal Palace in the distance
Someone tried to kill this idiot, this blind round with his wooden stick broken in two In the heavy rain, with an outfit of cloth and a straw hat, Wu Zhu very easily walked out of the circle of angry Jingdou coround crying out in pain
Wu Zhu did not kill anyone It's not that he didn't dare to It was just a habit formed over hundreds of thousands of years that ht of it, he would kill
When the bailiffs of the Jingdou government reached the intersection beside Tianhe Avenue, the crazydisappeared without a trace Looking at the people crying out in pain in the rain, the head bailiff sucked in his breath after he looked around quickly and wondered which ace it was that acted so efficiently Why would a powerful warrior condescend to have soainst these commoners who didn't even oeapon? The head bailiff felt his body grow cold Not because of the injuries these people suffered but because of the blind man who had disappeared without a trace If it really was as these people said, then that person was an idiot, then, without question, this idiot was the most powerful and crazysuch a person to run free in Jingdouabout it He idou yamen He then nervously asked a person beside him, ”Where did the crazy man run off to?”
”I think he went toward the square,” the person replied in a treritted his teeth and said, ”The person has stared at the Royal Palace for two days, he probably has a problem”
The head bailiff did not need to ask anymore He also understood that this person wanted to kill the crazy man Any matter that involved the Royal Palace always ended in death Hearing that the ht for the Royal Palace, the head bailiff actually felt hihtly After all, there were uarded by imperial soldiers No matter hoerful the round Even if Sir Fan junior of legend returned, could he charge into the Royal Palace?
…
…
The rain fell without end Wu Zhu did not kno urgently the commoner in the street far behind him wanted him dead He also didn't know that the head bailiff had already decided his death sentence He just wore the straw hat, held the metal rod, and walked step by step with unusual steadiness and decisiveness toward the square of the Royal Palace
The new cloth shoes Fan Xian had brought hi stepped into water and gotten wet With each step he took, a druainst his heart and soul Ye Qingly distant and also very close nauely reh it wasn't clear, it was particularly intidou that was filled with falass that he made were all so familiar
Similarly, as he came step by step closer to the square of the Royal Palace, the disgust in Wu Zhu's heart toward this Royal Palace greith each step This Royal Palace that towered id, and disgusting
Jingdou was a once familiar place The Royal Palace was also a once fa in the rain through places of old, with the road-blocking rain scattering all over the ground The road was quiet, and the people were lonely This perplexing rain made one too lazy to hide fro Wu Zhu's path not the rain It was a squad of armored imperial soldiers filled with ainst the arainst their severe expressions but could not trigger any change in ee His body still leaned forward slightly, allowing the straw hat on his head to block out the rain pouring down from the sky His feet did not slow or accelerate He just moved steadily at the speed he was used to toward the center of the square
Wu Zhu wanted to enter the Palace to have a look, so he had to pass through the front gates of the Royal Palace He had to go through this square in the pouring rain For hi at all if there was soic appeared unusually indifferent and daring to the soldiers responsible for the safety of the Royal Palace
The news of Fan Xian's return to the capital had coht from the Ye manor By now, all of the people in the upper echelon of the Qing Kingdo piece of inforun a strict and severe search of everyone that went in The level of defense had been raised to a level of tension that had never been reached before
