Chapter 29: Water Puppet Mei Silang

Wandering artist?

Su Yuanshan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and smiled.

"If you say so, then so be it!"

However, the little white fox beside him was unhappy, thinking to itself, this guy really has eyes but doesn't recognize Mount Tai, actually treating our City God Prefect as a wandering artist! Should bite!

Seeing the little white fox beside him baring its fangs and making wooing sounds at him, with a threatening meaning, Mei Silang was startled.

However, Su Yuanshan glanced at the little white fox and said lightly.

"No matter, it doesn't bite!"

Su Yuanshan poured the fine wine, one god and one ghost, and drank together with the wine bowls.

While drinking, he observed Mei Silang's movements and learned seven or eight points. Although the drinking etiquette of this world is recorded in the "Records of Heavenly Treasures and Strange Objects: Customs Chapter," it is not as good as on-site teaching.

Raising his head and drinking the water wine in a bowl, Mei Silang wiped his mouth.

Strange to say, he actually drank the wine and drank it into his stomach.

Even Mei Silang was a bit surprised. Usually, when he took things, they went directly through his body, and the wine was the same.

This made him look at Su Yuanshan with high regard.

Hesitating for a while, after drinking the third bowl of water wine, Mei Silang summoned the courage to stand up and bow deeply to Su Yuanshan.

"First of all, little brother feels brother's hospitality with fine wine. Secondly..... I see that brother doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, so I boldly ask, can you please plead for me and wash away my injustice? Even if I become a cow or a horse in the next life, little brother will repay brother's great kindness!"

He said, thinking of the sad place, tears flowed out unconsciously.

He knelt down in front of Su Yuanshan.

A man has gold under his knees. Unless it is a last resort, Mei Silang really doesn't want to kneel, and even less wants to cry.

But at this moment, he cried like a child, clearly having suppressed it for a long time.

Besides Su Yuanshan, he had no one to beg!

Su Yuanshan, who was originally sitting, stood up slowly and helped him up.

"Don't be like this, get up and talk! If you are willing to say it, Su is willing to listen!"

Is he idle and bored, with a sudden flood of sympathy? Naturally not. In Su Yuanshan's view, Mei Silang at this time is a mobile merit box. Helping him plead for injustice and wash away the snow, merit is naturally indispensable, and absorbing merit can increase divine power. Why not do it?

Mei Silang was overjoyed, bowed again deeply, and then looked at the clear wine in the wine bowl. The wine water swayed in his hand, shattering the bright moon in the bowl.

"Little brother lost his father when he was young, and it was his mother who raised me with great difficulty. Our mother and son suffered all kinds of cold eyes and ate all kinds of bitterness. The hardship of an orphan and a widowed mother is something outsiders cannot imagine at all.

In order to supply me with reading, my mother sold everything that could be sold in the family! Later I grew up, relied on selling calligraphy for a living, and saved some savings, and then I met my wife. Although she was ugly, she was a gentle and kind person. She often hid from her family and sent food and drink to our mother and son. Although she was from a farming family and her family was not rich, she was still like this, which is precious. Later we got married and had children.

In order to repay the kindness of my mother and wife, I studied hard and did not dare to have the slightest slack, hoping that one day I would be on the gold list and bring glory to my ancestors, changing the fate of our family. After all, they suffered a lot following me, but....."

Speaking of this, Mei Silang stopped his mouth, seeming to remember some painful past events, could not help but choke, tears full of eyes, and his fists began to clench.

Su Yuanshan frowned slightly, put down the wine bowl, and looked at Mei Silang quietly, seeming to encourage him silently.

Finally, Mei Silang took a breath, eased his emotions, and then said.

"A month ago, an old man who was hungry fainted at my door. My mother and I, out of kindness, saved him, and from then on he refused to leave, eating and drinking every day, sleeping after eating and sleeping after sleeping.

I wanted to give him some travel expenses to let him leave, but my mother and wife persuaded me, saying that he was an old man, with no children and no daughters, already pitiful enough, so let him stay, anyway, it was just an extra pair of chopsticks.

I couldn't beat my old mother and wife, so I had to agree."

Su Yuanshan listened and drank a sip of water wine, saying lightly.

"You are kind!"

Mei Silang smiled bitterly.

"Yes, but who knows that kindness is not rewarded!"

Su Yuanshan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"How to say?"

He saw Mei Silang's face gradually growing resentment, black energy lingering.

"I never expected that he was a wolf-hearted and dog-lunged villain who repaid kindness with hatred!

On the way to accompany me to the county town to participate in the child examination, he actually lured me to the riverbank and pushed me down the riverbank when I was unprepared. I struggled desperately, but was hit in the head by a heavy object, and then....."

After listening, Su Yuanshan was silent. Although he was not clear about the motive of the old man who had to kill Mei Silang, this was no longer important. The person had been killed, this was a fact, and no one could overturn it.

Su Yuanshan nodded and said.

"Su has roughly understood your encounter. Besides revenge, what other wishes do you have unfulfilled, say them all together, as long as it is within Su's ability, Su will try his best to help you realize it."

Mei Silang was very surprised when he heard this, but clearly held doubts about Su Yuanshan's words, but also felt a bit moved.

He saw him smile bitterly.

"Brother's kindness, little brother accepts it. You promised to help little brother plead for injustice and wash away the snow, little brother is already ten thousand times grateful. As for other wishes... I'm afraid no one can do it!"

Su Yuanshan said lightly.

"Don't rush to deny it, say it and see!"

Mei Silang looked gloomy and said.

"Little brother hasn't seen his old mother and wife and children for a long time, and there will never be a chance to see them again in the future, so before leaving, I want to meet them and say a final goodbye, but I know this.... is just wishful thinking, unless an immortal manifests and heaven opens its eyes, otherwise......."

Regarding Mei Silang's chatter, the little white fox finally could not help but open its mouth and say.

"Cry cry cry, you only know how to cry. The City God Prefect is right in front of you, what else can the Prefect not do? Really stupid."

The fox suddenly spoke human words, which scared Mei Silang half to death. After coming back to his senses, he thought about its words and was even more shocked, looking at Su Yuanshan with his innocent big eyes, stuttering.

"City.... God? You are.... City God... Prefect?"

He clearly could not imagine that the white-clothed youth in front of him was the famous Underworld god, in charge of a place's... parents' official!"

Although he blamed the little white fox for being nosy, Su Yuanshan did not deny it, but nodded, very naturally standing with his hands behind his back and saying.

"That's right, this lord is the Huangliang County City God. What other wishes do you have unfulfilled? Can you say it now?"

City God? He was actually the Huangliang County City God. At that moment, Mei Silang seemed to have suffered a great grievance, and could no longer hold it back. He knelt down in front of Su Yuanshan, tears like broken beads, sobbing and kowtowing fiercely, saying in a hoarse voice.

"Blue sky official, please plead for the little people, the little people died unjustly....!" ===== CHAPTER 30 =====
