Chapter 1813
Li Qiufeng listened to Liu Sheng Zongyan's story about the past, and when he mentioned that someone rescued him from the sea, he vaguely guessed who that person was. Qi Jiu, Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu did not know the origin of Liu Sheng Zongyan.
As he spoke, he naturally didn't know who that person was, and felt a little confused.
Just listen to Yagyu Sogan continue to say: "After hearing his promise, I put my heart back in my stomach and led him first to the broken house where I was staying. It was already dark at that time, and I
There wasn't even a grain of rice in the house, so he had to get a bowl of water from a wooden barrel and ask the man to drink. The man saw that the old man's clothes were in tatters, the house was leaking from all directions, and there were several holes in the roof, which were broken by rainwater.
The hole fell into the house, and knowing that the old man was extremely poor, he opened a bag he was carrying, took out a few white steamed buns, and placed them in front of the old man.
"Since I was a child, I have only seen people eat steamed buns a few times, but I have never even touched them. At that time, I had been without food for several days and only ate boiled grass roots with water two or three times. I was already so hungry that my heart was full of hunger.
When the man took out the steamed buns, I smelled the aroma and was so greedy that my mouth watered. When the man saw me like this, he said to me, I walked for three days and three nights before I got to this place.
In this isolated village, all the beef and fried cakes were eaten on the road, leaving only these few steamed buns. If you don't mind, you can take them and eat them.
"I was very hungry at that time. Not to mention a few white steamed buns, I'm afraid I could swallow even the bark of wild vegetables and trees. So before the man finished speaking, I had already stretched out his hands and grabbed them with each hand.
I picked up a white steamed bun and stuffed it into my mouth."
When Yagyu Sogan said this, he suddenly stopped. He looked up at the ceiling of the tomb passage, his body trembled slightly, and then he continued: "I have long forgotten the taste of the steamed buns. It seems to be doing a strange thing.
When I woke up from the dream, the steamed buns that the man took out had long disappeared. I heard a strange sucking sound, and after a while, I realized that it was the "chichi" sound made by the old man sucking his fingers.
Only then did I know that in the blink of an eye, those few white steamed buns were swallowed up by me like a whirlwind. Because I ate so fast, I didn’t even notice the taste of the steamed buns. Finally, I felt a little reluctant to let go, so I grabbed them.
Put the fingers of the steamed bun in your mouth and suck them clean."
When Wang Xiaoyu heard Yagyu Sogan talking about this, he recalled the way he put ten dirty fingers in his mouth and sucked them. He immediately felt a rolling sensation in his stomach, a "clacking" sound in his throat, and he almost vomited.
Li Qiufeng thought to himself, you, an old thief, have not been a good person since you were a child. That man saved your life. You saw that he was a man with great abilities, so you made up your mind to use him, so you sent him
Please go back. It's a pity that that man was a great man of his generation, but he was killed by you, an old thief. After what happened here, I must seek justice for him from you, an old thief!
Yagyu Sogan raised his head high and said: "When a person is extremely hungry, he is no different from a wild beast. After he has food in his belly, his animal nature will be much less. I know that the way he wolfs down must be very dirty.
, I suddenly felt uneasy. I was thinking about apologizing to the man, but I heard the man ask, I have been going north these days, and I have passed many villages along the way. They are very desolate, and there are many corpses lying on the road, which looks extremely miserable. But I
I haven't heard of any fighting happening here, so why are there so many people lying dead in the wilderness?
"When the man asked, I told him about the natural disaster. The man looked stunned, thought for a long time, and then slowly said, I see. I thought this place is extremely remote, far away from the town, and only after encountering a natural disaster,
So many people will die. But that's okay. I'm looking for a secluded place. There is only one mountain road leading to the outside of the mountain, and there is no pier by the sea. I don't think anyone will come to bother me again.
"I didn't know what he meant by talking to himself, so I asked him, but the man deliberately changed the topic. I knew that he didn't want to talk, so I didn't dare to force him, so I had to chat for a few words and then asked the man to sleep in the house.
He sat on a pile of hay in the corner. The man didn't refuse and fell asleep. After a while, he could be heard snoring gradually and he was already fast asleep.
"I ate three or four steamed buns in one breath. I have never felt so full since I was a child. But after the steamed buns entered my stomach, I gradually felt pain in my stomach. At first, I could bear it, but later, I just felt that my stomach was full.
The bulge was like a rubber ball and the pain was unbearable. I had no choice but to endure the pain and walked to the wooden barrel filled with water. I drank two or three bowls of water in one breath. Who knew it would be better if I didn't drink it? After pouring the cold water into my stomach,
My stomach felt like it was about to burst, and I was in so much pain that I couldn't even take a step forward."
When Wang Xiaoyu heard what Yagyu Sogan said, he felt gloating and secretly thought that it would be better to die of an old scoundrel like you, and the world would be much more peaceful.
Yagyu Soyan continued: "I was so painful that I couldn't help but roll on the ground. I was just afraid of waking up the man, so I bit my tongue and didn't dare to make any sound. Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the door.
There was a burst of chaotic footsteps. A moment later, five big men broke into the shabby house, and the man leading the way was a long-term follower of the Gota family.
"I was shocked when I saw people from the Goda family suddenly barging in. But then I thought, I have neither borrowed money from the Goda family to rent land, nor have I offended the Gota family, so why should I be afraid? Thinking of this, I
My mood is normal, but my abdominal pain is so unbearable that my face is covered with cold sweat all over my body.
"The men looked surprised when they saw me like this. The leader of the group said to me that the harvest this year was not good, and he wanted me to pay the rent and land rent I owe Mr. Wutian's family first. I was frightened.
He jumped and hurriedly explained that he had never borrowed money from the Wutian family to rent land. The Changsui sneered and said, although the owner of the house you live in died a few years ago, he owed money before he died.
Ten shi of grain from the Wutian family. The interest rate has increased more than ten times in the past few years. I want to return 150 shi of grain to the Wutian family. Since you live in this house, you will pay back the 150 shi of grain.
.
"When I heard what he said, I was dumbfounded. When my parents passed away in the past, they left behind a dilapidated wooden house. I lived in that dilapidated wooden house and could barely keep out the wind and rain. But last winter, a
A heavy snowfall collapsed the wooden house and almost killed me in the house. I had no brothers or sisters to help me, and I didn’t have a penny in my hands. No one in the village was willing to help. Rebuilding the wooden house would be even harder than climbing to the sky.
In desperation, the old man had no choice but to give up the idea of rebuilding the wooden house, hugged a torn quilt, and hid in an uninhabited shabby house at the end of the village. But he never expected that the original owner of this shabby house would be
I owe the Gota family ten shi of grain, which gives the Goda family a reason to blackmail me.
"It's just that I was just a poor boy in the village at that time. Although I knew that these people were deliberately extorting money, I didn't dare to resist. I just begged and was willing to move out immediately. The long follower shook his head and forced me to hand over a
One hundred and fifty stones of millet. I couldn't get the food, so I had to kneel on the ground and kowtow. When the chief attendant saw that the old man refused to take the money, he became furious and shouted loudly. The men who came with him immediately rushed
Come up and beat me till my nose is bruised and your face is swollen, causing you to roll on the ground."
