Lights on the other side

The place of Lizhou has been very important since ancient times. Behind it is Jiangcheng, the capital of the Liang Dynasty.

Li Ruoci went this time to learn about Lizhou's new defenses.The last time he got the fortification map of the east and west of Jingzhou, he suffered a lot for Santian.

From Wuxitian to Lizhou, hundreds of miles away, he brought more than a dozen young disciples to rush there in one day.

The whole state seemed very deserted, most people stayed at home, and business trade was much less.

After staying outside for less than a moment, they immediately arrived at the stronghold of Wuxitian.

"Brother is resting." A disciple outside the door said.

Li Ruoci signaled that he would not disturb Pei Shi, then reached out to lift the curtain and walked in.

The layout of the room is very simple, which is Pei Shi's usual style.The window was half open, and the cool wind came in, blowing the rice paper on the table. A little girl was holding the paper with one hand, and writing on it with a brush in the other. Someone entered inside, but she was unmoved.

There was a white bottle on the window sill, with a few orchids stuck in it. Pei Shi was lying on the bed not far away, with his eyes slightly closed, and fell asleep peacefully.

Li Ruoci pulled a chair from the side and sat down, took a book from the side and started to read casually.

He could always smell a faint bitter smell of medicine, which made him wonder if Pei Shi was injured again.

There are bookmarks made of leaves in the book. They are of different shapes, some are fresh, and some have been for a long time. He was bored, so he took out a leaf from it, turned it over slightly, and saw the words written on the back of the leaf .

Neither big nor small, upright, just one word.

Li Ruoci's heart suddenly moved, but he didn't know why.He looked up at Pei Shi who was sleeping again, and thought to himself: He sleeps so quietly, he doesn't move much, living with him must not be too troublesome.

He sighed, inserted the leaf back into the book, and turned to the next page.

As the sun gradually moved, Pei Shi woke up slowly in bed.

He blocked the light with his hand, then looked this way, and the moment he saw Li Ruoci, he was startled for a moment: "Hey...Lin Ruoyan..."

Pei Shi got up, leaned against the head of the bed, smiled slightly and said, "Why didn't you call me?"

Li Ruoci said: "Didn't you rest much these days?"

"There are a lot of things."

"Then how dare I call you?"

"Not that serious."

Pei Shi got off the bed, found the shoes, walked up to the little girl who had been silent all this time, and asked, "Sha Bai, have you taken your medicine?"

Sha Bai nodded, and then showed Pei Shi the result of his writing just now.

Pei Shi said: "I've made progress, go find your elder brother Lan and ask for some dried sweet potatoes as a reward."

Sha Bai obediently took a few pieces of paper and ran out.

Li Ruoci asked: "This child...can't speak?"

Pei Shidao: "It is reasonable to say that she can talk, but a few days ago when the demons were in trouble in Liusha Town, her parents stopped talking after their death. It must be a psychological problem."

"How old?"

"It's only nine years old, two years younger than me at that time, it's really pitiful."

"Are you deciding to take her in?"

"I?"

Pei Shi smiled.

"I can't take care of myself well. How can I take care of a little girl? It's just that it's not stable now. After a while, the situation will stabilize. Let someone adopt it."

Li Ruoci looked out of the window, the twilight was falling, and everything was covered with a layer of gold, and it was peaceful. Unconsciously, he said softly, "I don't know how long it will be?"

Pei Shi patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be so pessimistic. Although the current situation is not very good, it will pass."

Not long after, Sha Bai ran back again, made a pocket with his dress, and carried a pile of dried sweet potatoes.

"Lanshan is really generous, but I'm so stingy when I want it."

After Pei Shi complained, he squatted down, took a few yuan from his pocket, then patted Sha Bai's head, and said, "Okay, eat the rest by yourself."

Hearing this, Sha Bai took out a few more pieces from her dress and handed them to Li Ruoci. She raised her head, her face was sweet, but she was a little thin.

Li Ruoci was stunned for a moment, then bent down to take the dried sweet potato from Sha Bai's hand: "Thank you."

Pei Shi looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, and after Sha Bai turned around to go out to play, Li Ruoci turned to Pei Shi and said, "The people you met when you were young are very important."

"why?"

"It just occurred to me suddenly."

Li Ruoci continued: "If you stretch out your hand to him, he will follow you, no matter what kind of road it is."

Pei Shi didn't speak.

Li Ruoci said again: "With Sha Bai by your side, maybe there will be a different life."

After a while, Pei Shi finally said, "Some things are chosen by oneself, and others can't influence them too much."

"is it?"

The wind came in, flapping the corners of the clothes.Pei Shi stretched and walked out.

"The whole afternoon was too leisurely, Lin Ruoyan, come here, I have something to tell you."

"Well, okay."

The two came to a spacious room, and there were already several Wuxitian disciples in it.In the middle of the room is a large table with a map of Lizhou on it.

Pei Shi walked to the table and introduced to Li Ruoci: "This is Lizhou, and there is nothing attached to the north of Lizhou, so we need to strengthen our guard here. The river on the west side can only guard against people, not demons, but we are in the whole state. After setting up the barrier, you will be aware of ghosts and ghosts as soon as they enter. You are here this time because there are not enough people, not only in the city, but also in the surrounding towns. A few days ago, this small town on the right side of Lizhou There was a demon riot in Liusha Town, although it has been resolved, there are still casualties, this kind of thing should be noticed in advance."

The disciple on the side said: "Recently, the kings of the north and the south have been dishonest."

Pei Shi said helplessly: "They really fear that the world is not chaotic enough."

"I thought it was fine for the monster to take advantage of the fire to rob, but who would have thought that those in power are also like this."

Pei Shi laughed: "If you make a mess, you have to pay for it, otherwise, wouldn't it just be a money-losing business for them?"

Pei Shi's eyes moved back to the map, and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Besides, we have to keep in touch with other nearby prefectures, especially Jinzhou and Xiaoqingzhou. Contact is also necessary. Lin Ruoyan, just bring a few people to take charge of this part."

Li Ruoci asked: "Are Jinzhou and Xiaoqingzhou also belong to us?"

Pei Shidao: "There are still some people who are not in the sky in Xiaoqingzhou. That's the big problem."

"oh, I understand now."

Pei Shi said to a disciple standing next to him, "Lan Shan, you can explain the relevant matters to Lin Ruoyan again, and let's see where they can live."

Lan Shan nodded, and led Li Ruoci and the others to a secluded courtyard.

Li Ruoci's daily job is to take a pen to record the content of communication with the surrounding states and coordinate with all parties.

He set up a transparent paperweight as the medium for passing on spiritual texts, and put it on the table to receive various news from morning to night every day.

A lot of refugees came to Jinzhou today. They wanted to go to Lizhou and asked if it was possible.

Li Ruoci took down the number of people and replied: Well, I have to ask if there is any space in the refugee shelter in the government.

There was another dispute within Yanzhou. The person in charge of Yanzhou was a couple who fought every day. Big things were changed every five days, and small things were changed every three days, just to antagonize each other.Li Ruoci looked at the scrapped pieces of paper and felt a headache.

Little Qingzhou was in a state of nothingness every day, which saved Li Ruoci a lot of worry.

Two or three days passed like this. On this day, after Li Ruoci asked other disciples to show Pei Shi the things he had recorded all day, he went to rest directly. Put on clothes and get out of bed.

"what happened?"

There was no sound on that side.
