Chapter 280 You owe them this!
Back in Woye Town, lying on a warm bedding, the night of late autumn and early winter is a little chilly, but not that cold.
Gu Nanxi thought she would fall asleep while lying on the bed, but she didn't expect that until the moon came up, she still couldn't sleep.
Gu Nanxi put on her clothes and quietly opened the door without waking up the sleeping Lu Mei.
The bright moonlight shines on the thatched roof, and the whole town is quiet and a little deserted.
The county government office is small and cannot accommodate so many people.
Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in Woye Town was thatched houses. Fu Mingyuan and Boss Li took most of the soldiers to find another place to live, leaving only a team of guards to protect Gu Nanxi.
"Is there something on your mind, General?"
Wang Buxi wore a loose robe, and his black hair was like a waterfall. It was simply pulled into a bun with a hairpin, and he looked elegant. There is a trace of laziness, which is completely different from the cold and unfeeling look during the day.
Gu Nanxi picked up a big-bellied pot from the kitchen and found two other pottery bowls.
The two of them sat down in the pavilion in perfect agreement.
Gu Nanxi filled two bowls of cold tea and pushed one bowl in front of Wang Buxi: "How long have you been in Woye Town?"
Wang Buxi picked up the tea bowl generously. : "Thirteen years."
The top of the pavilion is also made of thatch, with a hole. The moonlight shines from the hole into the small bowl, and the moon's shadow is reflected on the cold tea.
Gu Nanxi's voice was soft and gentle: "What was it like when you first arrived in Woye Town?"
Wang Buxi's expression was slightly dazed: "The sky is full of paper money, the city is full of plains, and everyone is like mourning for a heir, rushing to pay tribute to Gu Zhan."
The year he came, Gu Zhan died in battle. of that year.
He had seen the people all over the city grieving for Gu Zhan Shen, and they wished they could die instead.
At that time, he thought, a real man is nothing more than this! If you can reach this level in your senses, this life is worth it!
Gu Nanxi: "Is the town as dilapidated as it is now?"
"No. Not to mention that everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, but they can find a roof over their heads, find a job, and support their families. At that time, Woye Town was the most affluent military town in the border area."
Gu Nanxi Sighing, full of regret: "Good fortune plays tricks on people."
Wang Buxi gulped it down Zi Lengcha: "It's not God's fault, it's actually a man-made disaster! The year Yongchang Hou took over as the commander-in-chief, he attacked Woye Town! Man-made disasters plus military disasters, wouldn't Woye Town be so miserable?!"
Wang Buxi's His eyes seemed to be burning with fire as he looked at Gu Nanxi with determination like a soldier going to die.
"General, this is what you owe to the people of Woye Town! Your husband plunders the people and makes the townspeople hungry! Your biological father, let the townspeople defend the military town forever, These fools actually kept their promise with their lives!”
"General, you owe them this! You should give them a piece of stability, a piece of paradise, and a prosperous world!"
After saying that, Wang Buxi entered the house without looking back, his back was desolate. Loneliness is like a stone that has been beaten by wind and rain on the Gobi Desert, with traces of wind and sand, but it still stands there.
"What does it have to do with you? How can it be considered your fault?!" Lu Mei had woken up early and did not dare to disturb the night conversation between the two.
Gu Nanxi let out a long sigh. She originally thought that after the siege at the border was solved, she could continue to act like she was in Kyoto.
But everything is devastated. In the original work, the border is broken, but if it falls on an individual, his family will be destroyed.
Responsibility and conscience, these two words are the shackles imposed on Gu Nanxi.
She wants to mess up, she wants to go back and live a carefree and happy life in Kyoto.
But, she can't!
Everywhere she looked was purgatory.
Wang Buxi’s words made it even more difficult for her to deceive herself. "Too bad luck, I'm going to be trapped and die at the border." Gu Nanxi wiped her face with a wry smile.
If you want to continue living a lousy life, you have to train the people below to be like the three brothers and sisters of the Su family.
That’s it, that’s all, if you work hard for another year or two, you can continue to live a good life!
That was the advice to herself, but Gu Nanxi still cursed the young emperor and all the people who recommended her to go to the border in her heart!
I just want to show off, who is in the way? ! None of them can see themselves free!
With this worry and curses, Gu Nanxi fell into a peaceful sleep.
The next morning, Gu Nanxi led Lu Mei and her guards around the town.
The people in Woye Town only eat two meals a day. There are very few breakfast shops on the street. Most people cook at home, which saves money.
Gu Nanxi squatted at the south gate, observing the pedestrians entering and exiting the city gate. Most of them were dressed as farmers, carrying fruits and vegetables to sell in the city.
The guards at the city gate were very kind. They did not intentionally overturn the farmers’ vegetable baskets or turn over the vegetables to pieces.
But there are very few large-scale caravans. Logically speaking, the journey from Woye Town to the west will be shorter, but for some reason, the caravans do not go this way.
After squatting until her legs were numb, Gu Nanxi sat on the floor and chatted with the woman setting up a stall next to her.
“Auntie, what are you selling?”
The woman was quick with her hands and feet. She formed the paste mixed with wild vegetables into balls, and then put them on the wooden steamer to steam: “Wild vegetable dumplings. Two for a penny, do you want one, little lady?”
Gu Nanxi was not wearing armor today and was dressed simply. The woman obviously did not recognize her identity.
"Have one."
Seeing that the business was open, the smile on the woman's face became more genuine. She strung two balls of wild vegetables on a piece of thatch and handed them to Gu Nanxi.
This wild vegetable dumpling is bitter and throat-irritating.
Gu Nanxi had to chew it in her mouth a few more times until her lips were almost numb with bitterness before she dared to swallow it.
When a soldier on patrol passed by the stall, he picked up two dumplings with his hands, stuffed them into his mouth, and continued his patrol.
Gu Nanxi frowned: "They didn't give me any money."
The woman looked at Gu Nanxi and said with certainty: "They are from out of town, right? These soldiers never pay for breakfast. ”
“Aren’t you angry? ”
One after another customers came to buy, but the woman didn’t He kept busy: "Don't be angry. They can't get any money, and they are still guarding the town. It's just one or two vegetable dumplings, what's there to be angry about? Without them, I wouldn't even have a chance to go out of the city to pick wild vegetables."< br>
Gu Nanxi saw that the woman was too busy chatting, so she changed places and continued shopping.
This Woye town is really poor. There are very few people in the town who can afford to wear silk and satin.
But Woye Town is so poor that there is no petty theft or bullying.
“What a strange town.” Lu Mei had never seen such a person before.
Gu Nanxi wanted to know more about Woye Town, so she stayed here for a few more days.
Gu Nanxi’s elite soldiers plundered the grassland and gained a lot of money. In the past few days, they used the stolen money to buy and buy in Woye Town!
After eating roast lamb for so many days, I really miss this meal from my hometown!
For a time, the entire Woye Town was busy with these thousands of people, and we could vaguely see the shadow of the prosperity of the past.
It’s just that, the news of Gu Nanxi’s return to Woye Town can no longer be concealed!
