Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1494 (One Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety-Four) Suspicion

When Qi Cunzheng's mother passed by there, she was accidentally hacked to death by those people who came out of Tiecangting and slashed with knives.

The Tiecang people who were hacking people were all drunk that day, but they dared to swing their swords so recklessly because they thought that the targets were all blue-armored people. They had seen many blue-armored people's lives being trampled by the Tiecang people in the Tiecang court. In their impression, the blue-armored people were people they could kill whenever they wanted and use to vent their anger at will.

In addition to Qi Cunzheng's mother, there was another person from Tiecang who was accidentally hacked to death.

Later, when Qi Cunzheng saw his mother's body, he also saw the torch on the ground that he had wanted to extinguish but had not had time to do so.

This incident caused Qi Cunzheng a serious shock, and from then on, his habit of repeating certain actions became even more serious.

He always thought that if he had really lit the torches a few more times that day, even if he failed to prevent his mother from going out, he could have delayed the time when his mother went out, and perhaps his mother would not have been able to catch up with those people who were hacking people.

Qi Cunzheng even began to believe that some of his meaningless actions might actually be meaningful. He felt that if he did those actions, it might be possible to prevent some terrible things from happening.

At this time many years later, Qi Cun, who was already in his twilight years, was telling Wu Xunsheng and those masters in this house about the heartbreaking events he had experienced in the past, with tears streaming down his face.

Wu Xunsheng began to comfort Qi Cunzheng and even took out his handkerchief to wipe his tears. Then, the masters also comforted Qi Cunzheng at Wu Xunsheng's suggestion.

Wu Xunsheng and those masters felt that it was completely understandable that Qi Cunzheng had repeatedly lit the torches before. Of course, they also understood why he would repeat some other actions.

After Qi Cunzheng told them about his experiences, he felt extremely happy. He burst into tears and cried, "Do you know? For so many years, besides my sister, you are the only ones who are willing to listen to me. After my sister passed away, you are the only ones who can listen to me! For many years, every time I wanted to talk to someone, I had no one to talk to. I told you today, and suddenly I feel so comfortable!"

At this moment, the master who was frightened when he saw Qi Cunzheng took out his handkerchief, walked to Qi Cunzheng, and wiped away Qi Cunzheng's tears.

"Are you not afraid of me anymore? I know I look scary, and I don't want to scare you." Qi Cunzheng said.

"Boss Qi, I'm sorry!" said the expert who was frightened at the sight of Qi Cunzheng, "When I'm out, I sometimes get suspicious of people... Of course, there's nothing I can do about it... If I've offended Boss Qi before, please forgive me! I'm not afraid of Boss Qi! I'm not afraid at all!"

The man who had asked Qi Cunzheng before, "Boss Qi, are you thirsty? Please have a sip?" also felt that his actions would easily make Qi Cunzheng sad, so he took the initiative to pour the water that Qi Cunzheng brought to them into a cup and said, "We are used to seeing that people's hearts are vicious. Sometimes, in order to protect ourselves, we are indeed prone to doubt others and find it difficult to trust strangers. If my previous actions made Boss Qi sad, I will now use water instead of wine to apologize to Boss Qi!" After that, he drank the glass of water in one gulp.
