Chapter 8 Worry
"Skeleton?" Jiang Xixi repeated these two words, "Did you see clearly? Last night, the wind and snow were heavy, would you misunderstand it?"
Zhang Jinmei shook her head slowly, "Mr. Jiang, although I was too frightened at that time, my mind was still clear. The most important thing was that the thing stood on the wall for a long time. At the beginning, it stared at the two monks with expressionless face, but later, it actually smiled at them. The smile was very strange, because as soon as it opened its mouth, the two monks followed the demon, picked up the guy from the ground and started fighting. Their movements were extremely fierce, and they had to deal with each other's death, but their eyes were wood, with no spirit inside, as if their soul had been sucked away by the skeleton."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jinmei suddenly knelt down, "Sir, what the little girl said is the truth, and there is no false statement. Although this sounds ridiculous, it is indeed the real situation that happened before me last night. Even I can't believe it is true."
Cheng Muyou helped her up and said word by word, "I believe you. I have checked the corpses of those people just now. The scars on their bodies were indeed caused by the other party, so I know that you did not lie. It's just that there are eleven corpses in the pit plus the three monks. Have you ever heard them say who the other corpses belong to?"
Zhang Jinmei nodded repeatedly, "Sir, these people should have been killed by these monks. They led the lost women to the temple, raped and imprisoned them, and then killed them after playing with them. Sir, these people are beasts, no, saying that all beasts have insulted the beasts, they are not worthy of death."
Cheng Muyou nodded, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "They are not willing to die, but is that skeleton the same as you think, so he wants to rectify them on the spot? If this is true, wouldn't he interfere with the matter and do everything the official should do?"

"General Li is strict in governing the army, and he has clear rewards and punishments. He does not avoid close relatives and enemies, and uses evil to encourage good, and encourages soldiers. "The Art of War of Wei Gong" says: When you are loyal and beneficial, those who commit suicide will be rewarded even if they are enemies; those who violate the law and are lazy and lose money will be punished even if they are close; those who accept their sins and lose their feelings and are righteous will be given up even if they are serious; those who are flirting with their words and deceitful will be killed even if they are light; those who are good and do not praise them without any subtlety, and those who are evil and do not degrade without any weakness, so this is the key technique to encourage the public to encourage their merits."
"He also said that only in this way can we create an army with strong combat effectiveness, strict military discipline, and popular people's hearts. However, this way of governing the army is too obscure for you. It's too late now. I'll talk to you word by word tomorrow." Yan Niang said as she helped Xun'er pull the quilt to her shoulder, "Go to bed quickly, I'll go to the academy tomorrow morning."
Xun'er refused to support her and grabbed her arm, "Yan Niang, just talk about it again. General Li is very brave and has many strategies. Xun'er admires him very much and hasn't heard enough yet."
But a yawn that followed betrayed him, and Yan Niang smiled at him pamperedly, "I can't even open my eyes, and I'm still forcing myself to sleep. Be good, let your right ear cook red date porridge for you tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Xun'er's eyelids had fallen heavily and were obviously falling asleep. Yan Niang stood up, put down the curtain of the bed, and walked out of the room with slight hands and feet.
As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw her right ear leaning against a tall tree branch, her legs drooping casually, swaying in the air. She was about to scold her for not understanding the rules, but suddenly she remembered that she had worked very hard to be a human being and could not sleep outside. She also had to obey various etiquettes on weekdays and did not dare to cross her hair at will. So she felt soft and she shouted at it, "They are all out today, and you are finally at ease."
Seeing her coming out with her right ear, she quickly slid down the tree trunk, and walked towards her with itch. "Sir, I said, in the backyard, I will do whatever I want, without any restraint, but I am afraid of causing trouble for the girl, so I feel a little more restrained."
Yan Niang pointed its head, "Oh, when did my right ear start to think about me?"
After saying that, she walked straight to a stone pier and sat down, folded a dead leaf, poured the melted snow water into her mouth, savored it a few times, and swallowed it with satisfaction.
"I have been working hard on the girl's affairs and can't sleep well at night," a blush on my right ear that had been suppressed for a long time, which looked a little different from what it usually looks. It walked to Yan Niang angrily and said hurriedly, "Girl, when I think of the demon's whereabouts, I feel uneasy, for fear that he will come to the door one day, but why does the girl seem to be as panicked as me, and she doesn't even prepare to defend the enemy. Do you have to sit and wait for death?"
Yan Niang laughed at it, "What preparation do you want me to do? Put talisman paper on the gate of Xin'an Mansion? Or do you avoid the mountains and forests now?"
My right ear was even more anxious, "When is it now? Why isn't the girl in a straight shape? Although I'm not afraid of fighting with that Taoist, I don't want to be caught off guard by him. Especially, you, the human form you have finally cultivated was burned by him. Do you want to repeat the same mistake now?"
Seeing his right ear blushing and arguing with all his strength, a warm feeling flashed in Yan Niang's eyes. He reached out and pulled his right ear to his side to sit down, and said softly, "I don't want to protect myself, but you also know that the magic power of the demon is so powerful that ordinary methods do not work for him at all. What's more, there are more important things waiting for me now, and I can't ignore each other..."
"I know revenge is the most important thing for girls, but is it really more important than your life...?"
The voice in my right ear trembled a few times, and I said this sentence in my heart for a long time.
Yan Niang was slightly stunned, and her heart was touched by something: her right ear had just become a human form, and her mind had not been opened. Many emotions that only humans had, such as sympathy, respect, and worry, for it, were just clouds far away in the sky, which could be seen but could not be touched and could not be deeply experienced. But now, it seemed that it had finally improved. It was worried about itself, and it could not even sleep at night. This simple and direct feeling made her cherish it, and she was even more grateful.
So, Yan Niang smiled and said softly, "With the right ear, everyone else said that I had picked up a good marriage and was lucky enough to marry Cheng Muyou. They also said that this is a blessing that I will only have in my life to cultivate."
He curled his lips with his right ear, "It's just a common man who is blinded by his eyes. Does the girl still care about other people's comments?"
Yan Niang smiled faintly, "Do you know why I insist on marrying him?"
