An Sanxi returned to the room and lay on the kang, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She always felt a little uneasy. Years of licking blood with a knife had honed her extraordinary intuition.
If it weren't for his alertness, he would have died countless times over the years.
He is different from these gangsters from the south. He is from Datong, Shanxi, and his ancestors were military households. When he was young, he was kidnapped to the grasslands and lived for more than ten years. Finally, he took advantage of the Mongolian invasion of Datong and found an opportunity to escape back.
After returning, he continued to work as a military householder, replacing his father and continuing to serve as a soldier.
He suffered countless hardships on the grassland and suffered inhuman torture. The environment of the jungle and the strong also forced him to develop his own skills.
He returned to his homeland full of hope, but life in the Ming Dynasty was more difficult than on the grassland.
There was never enough work to be done at the officer's house. After dark, he had to go back to his home field to work in the dark. To avoid wearing out his clothes, he always worked naked.
When I had a short break, I would chop down trees, burn charcoal and sell it to support my family. In the winter, I would go to the river to break ice and fish, and sell it in the market for salt.
Originally numb to this world, he was like a walking zombie, living his life in a muddle.
When he was twenty-eight years old, he married the daughter of Mr. Wang, a tofu maker. On their wedding night, he looked at the beautiful girl in his arms. At that moment, he burst into tears, as if he had come to life again.
It turns out that there are still worthwhile things in life.
From that day on, he has regained his confidence in life. Although life is very hard, he no longer complains or feels tired. Looking at his wife and his newly born daughter, he feels warm in his heart.
It's all worth it.
But misfortune still befell him. His beautiful wife was coveted by the son of Lord Qianhu, and they secretly transferred her to another place on a business trip. When he returned home, what he saw was his daughter who had been thrown to death on the threshold and hung from the beam of the house.
Wife in rags.
It was a night of heavy rain, with lightning and thunder, and the sky seemed to be roaring. He used the grass on the kang to sweep up the bodies of his wife and daughter, dragged them to the foot of Nanshan and buried them. Regardless of the pleas of his elderly parents, he carried the already rusted corpses.
The sword of war entered the house of Lord Qianhu. He took the heads of his enemies and placed them on the graves of his wife and daughter one by one, crying silently.
When he returned home at dawn, he realized that his elderly parents had thrown themselves into a well in order to force him to escape and cut off his burden.
At that moment, he almost went crazy. He didn't understand. He just wanted to live in silence. Why was he living in such a humble way? The world didn't give him a way to survive.
He fled all the way south, relying on the archery skills he had practiced on the grassland, and relying on a tiger-powered bow snatched from Qianhu's home, he went into the mountains and forests, crossed the wilderness, shuttled through the green gauze tents, and kept shooting at the guards who were chasing him.
officers and soldiers.
After he escaped from Shanxi Town, everything was clear and no one was chasing him anymore.
He disguised himself as a beggar and headed south, just wanting to get as far away from his sad place as possible. Along the way, he watched with cold eyes. The Ming Dynasty was the same everywhere, with gentry feasting on cannibals everywhere.
Those in charge of the money valley steal the money valley, and those in charge of the punishment name go in and out of the punishment name.
The common people are increasingly embarrassed and bankrupt, and they have no way to redress their grievances. Even living is extremely difficult.
This vast country of the Ming Dynasty is clearly a big prison for 20 million people.
Wailing in pain, suffering from sorrow, suffering physically and mentally, with no way to escape.
Along the way, I saw all the warmth and coldness of the world, and the world's human hearts.
Boating across the south of the Yangtze River, the sun rises and the flowers on the river are as red as fire. When spring comes, the water on the river is as green as blue.
In the southeast, there are three autumn osmanthus trees and ten miles of lotus flowers.
In Lingyin Temple, a blind fortune teller drew a fortune teller.
When he was a child, he was herding cattle and eavesdropping outside his private school. His husband was kind and didn't chase him away, but he actually learned some words.
I saw the signature saying:
"My body is cold and my bones are cold, I am lonely, and my life is full of disasters."
He smiled silently, hadn't he been like this for half his life?
"On the day when flowers bloom at the age of twenty-eight, they bloom and are exposed to wind and rain."
An Sanxi closed her eyes in pain, and a teardrop fell silently.
He dropped a copper coin and turned to leave, but was suddenly pulled back by the blind man.
The old blind man said: "Although fate is determined by heaven, it is also planned by man. I feel that you have a strange kind of luck. I can't explain it clearly, but I can feel its existence. Can I touch your bones?
.”
An Sanxi didn't say anything. He was doing everything he could. You can touch him if you like.
The old blind man squeezed his hand bones and remained silent for a long time. Finally he sighed and said: "Your luck is in Ji Town. Although Jiangnan is good, it is not a place where you can live for a long time. You are lucky and lucky. How could you have it if you didn't leave?"
transport."
How dare you go back to the north and commit such a big case? Are you looking for death?
Seeing that he didn't believe it, the old blind man packed up his stall and left, only to hear the blind man chant.
"If you have to be broad-minded and open-minded, there is no point in frowning."
"If you don't want to be a guest of the Golden Python in the imperial court, you will be designated as the First Supervisor of the Army."
It seemed that somehow, after meeting this old blind man, his luck really improved.
Just in time, a member of the Qian family recruited a servant, and he was successfully selected due to his martial arts skills.
And because he was from the north and was good at raising horses, he also became Mr. Qian's groom.
This time Mr. Qian went north and there were many horses, so he took him to take care of the horses.
He had a habit he brought from the grasslands. He always took his own hollow cowhide pillow with him to sleep, and he never abandoned it even on the way to escape.
This time he not only felt nervous and uneasy, but soon there was a rumbling sound coming from the hollow pillow. He jumped up, put the pillow on the ground, and listened carefully. Once a horse team approached the camp on the grassland, this kind of pillow would
You can hear the sound of horse hooves vibrating the earth.
"About five hundred people and more than thirty horses, less than a mile away." He murmured.
The sound was a little different, a little weird. He thought for a while and understood that these people's footsteps were raised and dropped at the same time, and they were uniform to produce this special sound that vibrated the earth.
This is a well-trained army.
After all, he had been a soldier and had seen war on the grasslands.
I have long thought that these rabble-rousers are seeking death when they come to the capital to cause trouble, so I have been vigilant. The three thousand people are all bandits and ruffians. Without unified command, these five hundred people will definitely not be able to defeat them. Who knows how many more people are on the way?
Come.
He had to leave immediately. He just wanted to have a safe meal by joining the Qian family. He was not selling his life to his family. Besides, the Qian family didn't treat him well. They just saw that he had some skills and spent two small coins to order him around.
.
An Sanxi got up silently, put on his clothes, took his luggage, put the tiger bow on his back, picked up the simple knife, secretly opened the door, and walked out.
The sky outside had begun to get brighter. He secretly climbed over several walls and came to the outermost high wall. As long as he climbed over this wall and walked out, he would blend in with the crowds of people in this bustling town. The trouble here would be
There's nothing wrong with me.
He had just jumped off the wall and before he could stand up, he suddenly felt a hard blow on his back and a firecracker was pressed against his back. Suddenly, a dozen people holding firecrackers appeared around him.
The fire seals in their hands glowed red, and a man with a Liaodong accent said: "Tie them up, gag them, and take them back to see the master."
