Waiting for the wind and rain, the city of clouds is light

After a sleepless night, Yun Wei went out the next morning with dark circles under her eyes.After recovering for most of the time, she usually helped her grandfather go to the village or town to buy some sundries and do some work.She didn't have anything of value on her body, so she definitely couldn't afford to pay for the medicine. Fortunately, her grandfather acquiesced in allowing her to stay, so she could only try her best to do more things so as not to eat for nothing.

There are not many people in the town, and it is as leisurely as ever.Yun Wei held the basket, and kept looking around, but it was no different from usual.

It seemed that she was thinking too much, she told herself silently in her heart.If it really came from thousands of miles away, not to mention whether she could detect it now, the surrounding counties should be in chaos at this moment.

The meridians of the left hand are stagnant, and she usually uses her right hand to exert all her strength. Although it does not hinder her daily activities, she knows that both hands are needed to draw a bow, and her left hand cannot use strength, so she probably cannot use archery.In order to protect herself, she had to practice her right hand. Fortunately, she still has the foundation of her previous kung fu, so she can still use some simple tools, such as an ax for chopping wood, but it is not known whether it can block other people's attacks with what kind of use.The village is full of ordinary people, and she doesn't dare to reveal the fact that she is practicing martial arts casually, so there is no one to practice and no one to give advice, and she doesn't know where she is now.

"Ugly!" Someone shouted in my ear.

Yun Wei's figure paused, and from the corner of her eye, she saw a young woman holding the child in her arms in horror and yelling at him to silence him, so she ignored it and continued walking.The frequency of walking on the street has increased. After all, there is such a highly recognizable scar on her face that all the children in the town recognize her.The knife wound grazed her brow bone and extended to the outside corner of her eye. She was almost exhausted when she ran to the edge of the cliff. The long knife greeted almost all corners of her body and she had no time to block it, so she had to barely protect her vitals.The knife wound was covered with hair, and it was roughly covered, but the child cried out in fright when he saw it by chance, and within a few days, the name of this ugly monster spread throughout the town.

But that's fine too, Yun Wei thought to herself, when meeting someone who wants to make fun of and insult her, she only needs to raise her head to show her scar, and those people will be speechless as if they were choked, which is very convenient.

And... she thought rather self-deprecatingly, she was no longer the He Yunwei she was before.Now if you meet someone who knew her before, whether you recognize her or not is a problem.Although it is not hoarse, but the voice has become low and rough, and sometimes it will make people get goosebumps.With half of his face covered, he couldn't tell by his voice.And if it was someone who knew her well, they would probably think that she was no longer alive, and if they saw her again, they might think it was a wisp of dead soul floating around.

Just as he was thinking, a stone hit his calf suddenly.

The slight stabbing pain made her pause, and a group of urchins on the left ran away laughing.

Yun Wei straightened his hair, took another step, took two steps, subconsciously dodged the stone thrown again.It's just a child, there's no need to worry about it, she thought.

She's used to it.

When I got home, I put down the basket, chopped firewood and made a fire to cook, washed the clothes to dry and cleaned, and then went out to buy some food. The days were repeated plainly, and after going around in circles, I went back to the calm days before, doing the same thing, It's just a different place.Wearing short Ge, walking on the road, but no one called her little brother anymore, and walked around her when they saw her.Yun Wei shrugged her shoulders, this is quite good, she is already in this situation, what more can she ask for.

There seemed to be noisy noises coming from the front, Yun Wei could not help but raise her head strangely.On the head of the bridge not far away sat an old man with white beard and hair, four or five children playing and shoving, and a wooden crutch dangling left and right in the air was being scrambled for.

"Play with me for a while! You've been holding it for a long time!"

"I won't play for you! I haven't played enough yet!"

"Let go of your hands!"

The wooden crutch turned in the air, and the old man coughed continuously along his mouth, his long beard reaching the ground trembling with the sound of coughing.Yun frowned slightly, and the people around her were doing their own work without any surprise. She turned her gaze back to this group of people, changed her direction and walked towards the bridge.

The group of children were arguing with each other, one of them raised his head by chance and screamed out in fright: "Ugly—"

As soon as the words came out, the rest of the children looked over in unison. Yun Wei walked towards them without slowing down, even speeding up.Seeing that she was approaching fiercely, the child couldn't resist being frightened. He threw away his crutches and fled in all directions. He didn't know where he went in a blink of an eye.The flying cane swirled in the air, Yun Wei stretched out his right hand to catch it.

The white-haired old man stopped coughing, raised his eyelids and looked at her.Yun lowered his head slightly, his hair slipped down to cover his face again, and then he handed over the crutch.

The old man looked at her for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand tremblingly to take it. Looking at her cloudy eyes, a smile appeared: "People say that a good-looking girl is always kind-hearted. Young people don't believe it. At my age, I think this sentence is very true..."

Yun Wei's shoulders stiffened. Didn't the old man not see the scar on her face, and was he trying to make fun of her by saying this?

As if seeing through what she was thinking, the old man stroked his beard, and the eyes under his white eyebrows flashed meaningfully: "There is nothing in this world that can be perfect. Ordinary people only stare at the shortcomings, but they miss most of them." , What a pity, what a pity..."

Yun Wei was stunned, and the pigeons at the bridge flew up with fluttering wings.

"Now there are not many little girls who are willing to help me, an old man..." The old man said to himself.Yun Wei didn't say anything, she just stood there and looked at him thoughtfully.The old man played with the wooden crutch for a while, then glanced at her, and the smile in his eyes was actually a bit sly: "No matter how good the jade is, it's just a piece of waste stone if it hasn't been polished. Little girl," he said with difficulty. Bending down, picked up a stone on the ground, dragged her hand and stuffed it into her palm, "Don't think it's ugly, just throw it away."

The stone is heavy and rough to the touch in the palm of your hand.Yun Wei's hands trembled, his lips parted and hesitant to speak, the old man put his crutches on the ground and stood up, with his back to her, he moved towards the other end of the bridge step by step.

"Thank you, old man." Yun Wei pursed his lips, took a step forward, and bowed to the old man's back.

"No need," the old man raised his hand, "It's about to change, little girl, go back quickly."

Yun Wei's eyes trembled, the sound of horseshoes on the street behind him approached from far away, and a touch of red in the setting sun fell on the village.Yun Wei clenched her fisted hands, turned around and ran down the bridge towards the village.

A circle of people surrounded the open space at the entrance of the village, and Qin Bing, holding a pistol, stood in the center, and several horses behind him were crowing.

The irregular rhythm of the hooves kicking stings in this tense standoff.People hid a distance and watched timidly, not daring to speak.

The soldier looked contemptuously at the trembling man lying on the ground, his eyes fell on the upside-down basket on the ground, and he swung his pistol and stabbed it.With a bang, the basket split into several pieces.Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the basket, the man clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty the Emperor said that there was a daring rebel assassinating in Bolangsha the day before yesterday, and he ordered the world to hunt down the escaped assassin for ten days." Looking at the panic-stricken villagers around him, the soldier said contemptuously, "I heard There are outsiders in this village, and they must have something to do with that assassin. If anyone dares to hide, don't blame us for arresting them all!"

"what?"

"Someone actually assassinated..."

"How did you escape here..."

There was a slight commotion in the crowd, mixed with soft doubts.The sentence fell into the soldier's ears, and he shouted angrily, "Who is talking!"

Dozens of people bowed their heads and fell silent.The soldier was still puzzled when he saw this, he pulled a man out of the crowd and threw him to the ground, raised his hand and pointed at him with a gun: "Say! Is it you!"

"Grandpa!" There was a cry from the crowd, and Ah Ling squeezed forward while pushing aside the standing people, and rushed to the open space to run towards the old man surrounded in the middle.

The old man's beard was disheveled because of his embarrassment, his brows were slightly frowned, and he shouted in a low voice: "A Ling, go back!"

The soldiers standing in front of the crowd grabbed her and forced her back into the crowd.The person who asked the question stared at him, and the pointed head of the cock moved a few inches closer to the old man: "Say! What do you mean by saying such things behind your back!"

The blade was white and dazzling, and the old man hung his head and said nothing.The man lost his patience, waved his gun and wanted to greet the old man: "Don't say it? If you don't say it, I'll take your knife!"

"Don't!" Ah Ling's scream became more and more horrific, and the sharp knife was about to stab the old man, when a loud shout came from behind: "Stop!"

The author has something to say: (I must add this paragraph)

Old man: Miss, don't think it's ugly, so throw it away.

Yun Wei: Thank you, old man.

On the second day, Yun Wei took this stone to the largest trading house in the town, and that stone turned out to be a rare gem.Yun Wei took advantage of this to make a fortune, and has lived a life of prosperity, wealth, and dreaming since then.End.

...Just kidding, the plot definitely didn't go like this...
