Chapter 155(1/2)
.One piece of history has been 317 years.
The incompetence of Li Han, the fifth emperor of the Xianlong Dynasty, appointed corrupt officials and An as prime minister. In addition, he was very luxurious, ordered the construction of new palaces in various places, resulting in the abandonment of the national treasury and the hardship of the people.
In a small town four thousand miles away from the capital, since the county magistrate is a corrupt official, the lives of the people are more difficult than other places. They encountered a locust plague that had not been encountered in ten years. The fields were harvested for 20 or 30 left. After paying the tax, many people even paid their own food to collect the land tax they needed to pay.
"Please give me some food!" A skinny middle-aged woman begged on the roadside with a young man in a mud coat.
The reason why this young man is wearing a mud coat is because the boy's body is covered with dirty mud and pot ash, and even his face is covered with pot ash and pot ash. If it weren't for his eyes and mouth exposed outside, you wouldn't be able to tell that it was a person's face.
"Uncle, please be fine, please have a meal. The child has been hungry for several meals." The woman dragged her exhausted body to the feet of a rich young man in bright clothes and obesity, begging.
"Get out of here, get out of here, you can afford to lose the young master's clothes?" The servants of the rich young master seemed to have become accustomed to such a scene. Four or five people pulled the woman aside and punched her for a while, then cursed and returned to the rich young master.
The rich young man seemed to have never given birth to anything just now, and walked casually on the street. He picked up and played with things he was interested in, and picked up and took a few bites when he saw something he liked to eat. But the merchants had to treat them with a smile, for fear that he would accidentally make the young man unhappy.
This young master is no other person, but the young master of Meishan County Magistrate, nicknamed "Battleman, Wang Furen. Although the name is Ren in the middle, Wang Furen has never done a good deed. Since childhood, his father Wang Fugui was the magistrate of Meishan County Magistrate. Here, their Wang family is such an emperor. Not to mention that Emperor Gao was far away that day, even if someone went to the capital to sue them, he would sink into the sea or be assassinated on the road.
"Uncle, okay, please give me some food!" The woman who was pulled apart just now chased after her again without giving up. Her hands fell down because of weakness, and her hands hit Wang Furen's shoes.
Wang Furen's expression suddenly became angry and stepped on the woman's hand hard. When the dirty child saw that his mother was stepped on, he rushed up from somewhere and pushed him on Wang Furen, protecting his mother.
Wang Furen was obese and sat on the ground without standing firmly. His fat butt crushed a few eggs. It was early autumn now, and Wang Furen didn't wear much. The broken eggshell passed through the silk and stabbed Wang Furen's big butt. A few drops of small blood could be seen vaguely.
"Ouch" Wang Furen cried out in pain. Wang Furen, who had been spoiled since childhood, had never suffered such a crime. Several servants immediately came forward to help Wang Furen up.
"Idiot, why are you still standing there? Why don't you beat them to death by killing me?" Wang Furen cursed angrily.
"Yes, Young Master" left a servant guarding Wang Furen's side. Several servants rushed forward and gave him a good punch. The dirty child hadn't eaten well for a few days. The moment just now used up all his strength. How could the Xuan still have the strength to fight back? Even if he had the strength, he would definitely not be the opponent of the strong men.
The woman saw that her son was beaten and vomited blood, and bit a servant's foot. She took advantage of the moment when the servant raised her foot to protect the child. The woman looked at the unconscious child under her, and showed a miserable smile on her face, and said miserably in her heart: Sorry, it's useless for the mother to live a good life. Let her use her life to protect you.
The strong men's fists and feet were spared no effort to fall on the woman's body. A few minutes later, blood flowed from the woman's mouth. A few minutes later, the woman's breath became weaker and weaker."
"Okay" Wang Furen shouted when he felt that it was almost the same. Generally, people would stop at this time, and they would not cause death. Although he was not afraid of causing death, it would be better to have less trouble than to have more trouble. Although Wang Furen did many evil things, he was also afraid that his father would blame him.
"Young Master, I'm dead!" a servant said in a low voice.
"What...?! Dead?!" Xi Furen was slightly surprised.
"Young Master, they starve to death, it has nothing to do with you," a stingy thief smiled.
"Yes, yes, they all starved to death, it has nothing to do with me. I will do good deeds today and throw them into the mass grave." Wang Furen laughed.
"Young Master is kind," several tycoons kept flattering Wang Furen,
The sunset was setting, and the moon was in mid-air.
In a mass grave outside Meishan County, a thin body lies quietly beside a woman.
Suddenly, the thin child's fingers moved, and then moved again after a few seconds. The child slowly opened his eyes, and his whole body was filled with pain. It was all the place where he was beaten by his servants.
"Mom" Mom, wake up, mom." This child was the one who was beaten to death by Wang Furen's servant at noon. His name was He Xiao. He Xiao had no father since he was a child. His mother pulled him to eleven years old. However, since he was nine years old, He Xiao followed his mother to beg for money, and he often had a meal without any meals. However, He Xiao's mother did not give He Xiao the wrong name. He Xiao was very filial. Whenever He Xiao's mother begged for food, He Xiao was half of his mother. Although He Xiao's mother always smiled and said that she had eaten it. However, He Xiao would always share half of it and watch his mother eat it with her own eyes, and then slowly eat his own portion.
But now, He Xiao's mother is dead, and the body has slowly become cold. He Xiao cried loudly, tears flowing across his cheeks, but the stains on his face were not washed away. He Xiao kept crying like this. He kept crying.
Until I didn't have the strength and fainted again,
"Mom, I will definitely avenge you!" Although I have not read a book formally, He Xiao's mother recognizes the words and often takes time to teach He Xiao the principles of being a human being. However, it is all taught orally. Books are not as realistic as a bun for He Xiao.
He Xiao wiped the dried tears and took one from his hand. He dug a small pit of earth on the wooden board, and just buried his mother's body in it. Then he bit his finger and wrote down He Xiao's son on it. He Xiao didn't know how to write his mother's name, so he could only write his name on it. If he had the chance in the future, he could come to pay tribute to his mother.
He Xiaoqiang walked towards Meishan County with his body. There was a long distance from the mass grave to Meishan County. This mass grave was in the middle of several villages. Bodies that no one knew nearby would usually be thrown into the mass grave.
Walking on the mountain path, He Xiao only felt that he was exhausted, his body's strength disappeared bit by bit, his walking became erratic, his mind began to blur, and his vision gradually lost its focus.
"Miss, let's take a break here. We're about to arrive in Meishan." An old butler driving a carriage said to the person in the carriage.
"Okay, Lao Ma" A pleasant voice came from the carriage, Miss Wang's second family, Wang Xiaoyue.
"Miss, someone in front of me fainted!" Lao Ma said in surprise. In fact, Lao Ma saw He Xiao who was fainted on the ground and said something he wanted to stop and rest.
"Old Ma, saving people is a good thing. If you encounter such a thing in the future, just stop it. Don't lie to me!" Wang Xiaoyue said with a smile.
"Uh" is a lady," Lao Ma said embarrassedly. Although Wang Xiaoyue is only ten years old, she is talented and has been a disciple of Shuchang Palace Master, who is in the famous Jade Maiden Palace. She has been studying for a year since she was nine years old. Shuchang Palace Master regarded Wang Xiaoyue as her own and taught with all her heart. Wang Xiaoyue is different from his father Wang Fugui and his brother Wang Furen. Wang Xiaoyue has had a Bodhisattva heart since childhood and is very kind. However, because her mother is just an ordinary maid in the county yamen, Wang Xiaoyue was excluded since childhood. It was not until she was taken to the apprentice by Shuchang Palace Master who accidentally went down the mountain, that she recognized her identity by Wang Fugui.
Sent, brother, wake up, "little brother" wake up" Lao Ma gently shook He Xiao's body.
He Xiao, who was unconscious, suddenly heard someone calling him, opened his eyes hard, and said weakly: "Water, water, water
"This child is a hungry lady." Lao Ma said with distress when he saw He Xiao awake.
"For" Wang Xiaoyue jumped out of the carriage, holding a bag of water and a few steamed buns in her hand.
"Drink, eat." Lao Ma first sat He Xiao against a crooked tree, and then handed the water and buns to He Xiao.
After taking a sip of water, He Xiao found that he was holding a few buns in his hand and biting them desperately.
"Eat slowly, poor kid, where are your parents?" Lao Ma asked caringly.
"Ah, Ah, Ah," He Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then started eating buns with big mouthfuls, not answering Lao Ma's words.
"Well, it's so pitiful. Let's give it to you. Use it for some money to live well." Wang Xiaoyue took off a jade pendant on her waist, and did not bother He Xiao's hands, and grabbed He Xiao's hand and placed the jade pendant on the palm of He Xiao's hand.
"Hmm?" He Xiao slowly chewed the bun that had not been swallowed, looked at the jade in the palm of his hand, and wanted to raise his head to look at the owner with a pleasant sound, but he didn't know why he couldn't raise his head. Is it because of inferiority?
"Old Ma. Let's go and go back to see my mother," said Wang Bayue.
"It's a lady," Lao Ma responded. He turned around and said to He Xiao: "Take good care of yourself, child." Lao Ma drove the car and took Wang Xiaoyue away.
After the carriage left, He Xiaocai raised his head, glanced at the back of the carriage, and then turned his eyes to the jade pendant that was still scattered with temperature.
Jade pendants are not valuable items. They can only exchange for a few taels of silver, a bun for a penny, and this jade pendant can only be exchanged for a few hundred buns at most.
He Xiao hid the remaining buns in his hand in his dirty clothes, pulled a silk thread from the clothes, and then skewed it around his neck, pressing it against his heart. He Xiao felt a warm feeling spread to his heart.
"This kind of kindness must be repaid." He Xiao knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard several times in the direction of the disappeared carriage.
"Not bad" A man in black clothes and a black mask walked out of the shade of the tree. The scenes just now were seen by the man in black. He Xiao's perseverance, He Xiao's determination, and He Xiao's gratitude all of this made the man in black appreciate it, so the man in black decided to come out because he felt that this child would become a great man in the future. There was no certain reason, it was just a feeling of the man in black!
" " He Xiao looked at the man in black with black eyes. Although this person's clothes were similar to his own, He Xiao still felt dangerous information from the other party.
"What's your name?" asked the man in black.
"He Xiao" He Xiao looked at the man in black and said his name. This was the only thing his mother left him and his only pride.
"He Xiao?" A trace of doubt appeared in the eyes of the man in black, followed by shock, and then with heartache.
"Where is your parents?" The man in black trembled a little.
"I have never had a father since I was a child, I only have my mother, my mother is Nianjun," He Xiao said seriously.
"Nianjun, Nianjun" the man in black said these two words over and over again.
"Where is your mother?" the man in black suddenly woke up and asked,
"Dead" Zaifei said sadly,
"How did you die? When?" the man in black asked anxiously.
"Speak!" The man in black waited for a long time, but could not hear the answer.
When he turned around, He Xiao was already confused on the ground.
"The body is so bad, with serum on the body and the smell of dead people." The man in black stumbled on his vein, then looked at Qingtian's body and murmured to himself.
The man in black pointed He Xiao's sleeping hole, so that He Xiao could sleep more peacefully and avoid having nightmares.
After doing this, the man in black hugged He Xiao's body and jumped to the mass grave.
There were corpses everywhere on the mass grave, and there was only a wooden sign that was particularly noticeable.
The man in black stood not far from the wooden sign, gently put down the child in his arms, stretched out a palm, and the wooden sign suddenly fell down. The soil covering He Xiao's mother Nian Jun's body also slowly surging to both sides.
"Zhu Chuang, why are you doing this?" Two lines of clear tears flowed out of the man in black. Then he waved his hand and covered Nian Jun's body with soil again. The wooden sign was inserted again, but there was a word on the wooden sign.
"Are you awake?" Black clothes came again, and he slept for five times. He Xiao also woke up,
"Who are you? Where is this?" He Xiao asked weakly. He Xiao had been working hard for a long time. It was not something that could be recovered in a short time.
"Eat it" the man in black took out a white jade bottle from his arms, threw a white pill and threw it to He Xiao.
"What is this?" He Xiao asked carefully.
"How did your mother die?" The man in black did not answer, and asked on his own.
"Beheaded to death" He Xiao said gritting his teeth, with a fierce light in his eyes.
"Who is it? I'll help you get revenge," the man in black said lightly.
"No, I will avenge my mother's grudges myself," He Xiao said stubbornly.
"You" the man in black thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it. Since you are determined, okay, let me teach you how to take revenge?" said the man in black.
"Are you really willing to teach me martial arts?" Nian Xiao was overjoyed!
"I can only teach you for one day, and you have to practice yourself for the rest of the time, and I will stay in a difficult place to practice, isolated from the world. If you are not strong enough, you can't get out at all." After saying that, the man in black shook his head, not thinking that He Xiao would agree.
"Thank you, Master Bu. Please pay your respects." He Xiao corrected his posture, respectfully, and recognized the second: The second kowtowed three times to the man in black.
"Forget it. Take that pill first, and then follow me!" said the man in black.
"Yes, Master" He Xiao swallowed the pill without hesitation, and a cool feeling spread from his abdomen to his whole body. He Xiao felt the most enjoyable feeling he had enjoyed in the past twelve years.
"Let's go!" A fierce look appeared in the man in black, and he jumped off the cliff with He Xiao,
