In January of that year, two younger siblings starved to death.
In early February of the same year, my grandmother died of illness.
Just a few days after my grandmother's funeral, in late February, my grandfather was working in the fields when wild boars trampled his crops. In order to save hope for the year, he tried to drive away the wild boars, but he died. When the family found him, the old man's body was
The thin corpse curled up stiffly in the ground, with most of its torso eaten by wild boars, its eyes wide open with a painful expression...
The successive blows cast a heavy cloud over the entire family.
Working hard until the eve of the harvest.
result--
Several days of heavy rain broke down the embankments and submerged crops.
From the first day of rain, my father has been staying near the farmland. He has incurred a lot of debt for his hard work in this area. The farmland was flooded and the harvest was destroyed. More than one family lost their food rations, and the heavy sharecroppers
Taxes crushed him even more.
He went to the ground in the rain to rescue.
But all this is in vain.
If you are infected with wind and cold, you will never get sick.
A debt collector came to collect the debt, and Bai Su's only brother who was still alive got into a fight and got his head smashed. The debt collector tried to drag Aniang away to pay off the debt, and his father was angry to death.
On the second day after my father was buried, my brother couldn't hold on any longer.
Aniang hanged herself at the head of the village in despair.
The only one left in the family is the lonely Bai Su.
In order to avoid the debt collectors who came to arrest her, she ran all the way into the mountains and forests, without daring to look back. Fortunately, Bai Su was about to starve to death when she was saved by an unknown woman passing by.
The latter took pity on her plight and adopted her.
Everything Bai Su learned was taught by her mentor and adoptive mother.
When she succeeds in her studies, she will help the poor people together. Outsiders say they are thieves, but the adoptive mother only wants to have a clear conscience.
only--
Two years ago, she accidentally encountered a third-class hairpin, and her mentor took her away with serious injuries. After that, she couldn't bear to fall ill, and she couldn't survive the cold winter and died. Before she died, she told Bai Su that she had no regrets in her life, the only thing she couldn't worry about was
The one is Bai Su.
Let her return to the life of an ordinary woman and live a stable life.
It's better than being a snitch with a blade that licks blood.
One mistake can lead to death.
Bai Su was a little shaken at first, but after seeing so many ordinary people suffering all kinds of oppression and hardship, she knew she couldn't adapt.
He still uses the name of his mentor "Wu Ming".
Check the spots during the day and take action at night.
As long as she is rich and unkind, that is her goal.
She tried every means to exchange the ill-gotten gains she had stolen into items needed to help the people. However, she was still young after all, and her experience was not as sophisticated as her mentor's. She made a mistake not long ago, and was unlucky enough to alert several brave warriors, and was chased all the way.
kill.
The only good thing is that these courageous warriors are not of high level and are just low-level warriors. But Bai Su is an ordinary person after all. Even if he has acquired exquisite martial arts, he is still forced into a dead end due to physical limitations. He jumps into a road.
Fall……
Follow the waterfall down this stream.
Finally, he was fished out by the people under Shen Tang's tent.
This is Bai Su's life experience.
After hearing this, Shen Tang was a little shocked and exclaimed: "Is there such a strange woman as the White Snake's mentor in the world? It's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to meet her."
Looking at Lady Bai Su's speech and behavior, her logic is clear, and she does not look like an illiterate person who raised her, so most of the people who raised her are also knowledgeable. A woman with knowledge and martial arts, one person and one sword, punishes rape and eliminates evil, and acts righteously Xia......
This is quite rare and rare.
Thinking of his mentor, Bai Su's expression darkened.
Since the death of his mentor, the world has become vast and there is no place to call home. Bai Su returned to his hometown for the first time after many years of absence. The situation in Heyin is more chaotic and severe than before, evil bandits are rampant, and every household seems to be repeating what Bai Su's family did back then. old road.
However, their family was not as lucky as Bai Su and was adopted by the unknown heroine. The more she learned about the lives of the people in Heyin, the angrier Bai Su became. But she was single and weak, so no matter what she did, it would be a drop in the bucket, and she would even give others Bring trouble.
That gangster kept an eye on the lonely, old and weak.
Bai Su Qianqiu secretly sent the things over. Within two days, some gangsters would be eyeing the "windfall" in their hands. A small vat of wheat grains, a bag of beans, dozens of copper coins... they were all searched and stolen. That's it. Bai Su taught those gangsters a lesson, but they were still punished repeatedly.
Because the neighbors around these old, weak, lonely and widowed people can become "gangsters". If they can't hold on, they will be robbed and cheated...
After seeing this too much, Bai Su despaired of He Yin.
This place won't get any better.
But Bai Su didn't want to go anywhere else.
Because it’s the same everywhere.
Ha Yin...
At least it is the burial place of her closest blood relatives.
Hearing that the destination of Shen Tang and others was in Heyin, Bai Su stopped them without thinking. Evil bandits were rampant there, and there were other forces supporting these evil bandits behind their backs. Not only could the passing merchants keep their money, but they could also keep their little ones. You are lucky if you don't lose your life.
If Shen Tang goes...
Is there any destiny?
After all, she was the benefactor who saved her. Bai Su didn't want to see her die, but this benefactor didn't intend to listen to her.
Shen Tang said: "But I have to go."
Bai Su thought of a possibility.
"The benefactor is also from Heyin?"
Or are you going to seek refuge with relatives far away in Ha Yin?
Shen Tang said: "Of course not."
Bai Su looked a little anxious when he heard this.
"Then why?"
Do you have to go to Ha Yin to seek death???
Shen Tang smiled and said: "Of course it's to take office."
Bai Su: "..."
Bai Su: "???"
Bai Su: "!!!"
She was so shocked by this sentence that her expression went blank.
It took me a while to react.
Her eyes were wide open, and she opened and closed her mouth several times without spitting out a word. She didn't know what to say at all - she was a thief, and was saved by an official? Not only was she rescued, but she also talked about it in front of others. Robbery from the rich and give to the poor, how to start?
Bai Su's nerves were as sensitive as a Su Shang's hair. His expression was full of resistance and panic, and he wanted to flee to the horizon.
Gu Chi chuckled inwardly.
At this time, Bai Su suddenly discovered a big problem with trembling eyelids - the benefactor said that he was going to Heyin to take office, but wasn't the benefactor a pretty and gorgeous young lady?
How does a young lady take office?
Or is it that the young lady is actually a female concubine?
Or rather——
Bai Su's eyes almost stuck to Shen Tang's face, and it took him a while to notice the extremely inconspicuous inscription on Shen Tang's waist.
He spat out one sentence: "The slave...has offended my benefactor."
Shen Tang looked at her puzzled: "What's the offense?"
Bai Su said: "I misidentified my benefactor's gender."
Shen Tang: "..."
No, no, you admitted it right.
But she was too lazy to explain. Anyway, time would prove whether she was a boy or a girl. She just hoped that these people wouldn't be shocked when they knew the truth.
When she thought of that scene, Shen Tang's depressed mood improved slightly. She said happily: "Ms. Bai is both a native of Heyin and a knight-errant in the countryside. She must know the territory of Heyin quite well. I have an unkind favor..."
Knowing that Shen Tang was an "official", the guard that Bai Sugang had put down rose again. He looked at Shen Tang with a distance and caution, and did not dare to speak too fully: "My benefactor, please tell me, as long as it does not violate morality and justice, it does not go against your heart. The slave family will do its best."
"It's not an embarrassment, and it won't go against White Snake's moral principles. I just need to tell you everything about He Yin's situation, as long as you know it. I plan to rectify He Yin well after I take office, and know myself and my enemies. I am victorious in every battle. I was worried before, but I didn’t expect that God would show mercy and send the White Snake here..."
It really solved her urgent need.
Bai Su did not agree immediately, but pretended to be weak and about to faint. Shen Tang also did not expect Bai Su to give an answer immediately, so he went down the steps and asked Lin Feng to send someone to take good care of Bai Su. What happened next will wait for Bai Su. Let’s wait until Su’s health gets better.
Lin Feng said: "Mr. Sir, please don't worry."
Shen Tang patted Lin Feng's head encouragingly, stood up and left the car. Gu Chi left the prescription and got out of the car. He followed Shen Tang and said, "That Bai Su is pretending to be unconscious."
If Shen Tang's eyes hadn't stopped him, he could have exposed it on the spot.
Shen Tang said: "How could I not know? It's just that you shouldn't push too hard. This kind of thing is more interesting if you and I are willing to do it. Forcing people to speak would be like a bully bullying the weak. Mr. Gu really doesn't know the word 'love the fragrance and cherish the jade' What is it?"
Being comatose is an excuse.
Is it embarrassing to expose it on the spot?
Gu Chi showed an expression that said, "What you are saying is really disgusting." He said bluntly: "It depends on who you are showing affection for..."
A person whose position is unclear, whether he is a man or a woman, is not worthy of pity, let alone his face. Once the platform is demolished, it will be demolished!
Shen Tang laughed when he heard this: "If what Bai Su told me about her life experience is true, when her injury improves and she sees the people following her, she will know who I am. The easiest and fastest way to pry open a person's guard is the only one in the world. There is 'just do what you like'..."
Since Bai Su regards the eight words of "acting chivalrously, robbing the rich and giving to the poor" as her moral principles and implements them from beginning to end, Shen Tang is not worried that Bai Su will not like her. Bai Su will not only like her, appreciate her, and admire her, but also She will be regarded as a clean figure in the officialdom.
In a turbid world where everyone is evil and struggling in the quagmire, who wouldn't like a wise ruler who is just and honest, loves the people like a son, and has the ambition to turn the tide? The narcissistic thoughts in Shen Tang's heart made Gu Chi's facial features almost sour. Wrinkled into a ball.
He said: "Mr. Shen, you don't have to be so secretive."
Don't say everything.
He is afraid!
Gu Chi was very sure that Shen Tang said that on purpose.
He was so thick-skinned that he couldn't complain.
Shen Tang said: "My heart and my mouth are consistent."
Gu Chi: "..."
With the cold and biting night wind blowing, Shen Tang crossed his chest with his hands and walked with Gu Chi by the stream, chatting.
When she said that sentence, a rich smile spread across her face, and her eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky above her head.
Gu Chi looked at her, his tone was faint and a little resentful: "Did Mr. Shen just say - 'In a muddy world where everyone is evil, who is struggling in the quagmire, who wouldn't like to be fair and honest, and love the people like He is a bright master with great ambitions and can turn the tide', and 'the easiest and fastest way to pry off a person's guard is to give in to his own favour'? Is Mr. Shen 'playing his favour'?"
He really doubted something.
Qi Shan and Chu Yao were not fooled like this, right?
Shen Tang smiled and tilted his head.
He blinked his black eyes innocently.
"Who wouldn't like it when the tide is so good? But -" she kicked Gu Chi's question back, "are you willing to 'do what I like'?"
Gu Chi: "..."
He had exposed her true identity by saying "Mr. Gu" before, and he opened his mouth with "Wang Chao" - Gu Chi really doubted that if his answer was no, would Shen Lang take a sip of wine on the spot and send him to the west? This It's not impossible...
Gu Chi did not answer directly, but just said: "Mr. Shen is still young, so he doesn't know how people's hearts can change. You can keep your heart true to your words now, but when you become more powerful in the future, you will know how secret it is to have no voice in front of a person." I can’t tell you how hateful this person would be.”
Fear, fear, disgust...
I hate him until I want to die!
Shen Tang said bluntly: "For a magnanimous person who says whatever he thinks in his heart, this is nothing."
Furthermore--
How "hateful" can it be more hateful than Yuan Liang's "killing the master"?
There are so many debuffs already stacked... It doesn't matter if you add one more, don't worry if there are too many lice. I just hope that in the future I can get to know a few scribes who are normal and not so useless to the lord.
Shen Tang's request was very humble.
Hearing this, Gu Chi did not answer immediately.
The two of them were silent until he opened his mouth to break it.
Gu Chi asked: "Gu has a question."
Shen Tang: "You ask."
"Is Mr. Shen a man or a woman?"
Shen Tang: "..."
She was still thinking about what questions Gu Chi would ask to test her "heart-to-mouth consistency", and after thinking about it for a long time, she was struggling with this???
That's it???
Shen Tang looked depressed: "Female!"
He also emphasized: "The goods are genuine and fair!"
Gu Chi: "..."
Hearing Shen Tang admit it personally, Gu Chi still felt a bit like he was dreaming, even though he had already learned the true gender from Shen Tang's voice.
Shen Tang was very curious.
"Look at my face. With such a beautiful face, how could it be that I'm not from a daughter's family?" Good guy, I can even come up with a "boy-female" reason to explain this face.
Gu Chi: "..."
Shen Tang said again: "If I can't convince you in this way, I can tell you a secret, will you listen?"
Gu Chi: "...How big a secret is it?"
Shen Tang thought for a while: "If I still can't keep your heart after hearing this, I can only keep your body."
Gu Chi heard this and decisively chose not to listen.
"My lord is so sincere and frank, how can Chi not believe it?"
Shen Tang: "..."
After a night of repairs, we set off at dawn the next day.
Eat dry food while walking without wasting time.
Bai Su felt the carriage shaking. She woke up from a long and chaotic dream. As her five senses returned to their original positions one by one, she felt that the footsteps of the team seemed to be too many. She reluctantly sat up.
The team she is in is at the back of the center.
Bai Su carefully opened the curtain, and what she saw was not the muscular tribesmen she had imagined, or even servant guards, but a group of thin, haggard-looking common people.
Most of them are old, weak, women and children.
The older one has a full head of hair.
He is young, still in his infancy.
They walked in the middle, and on the outermost side were a group of young men wearing cloth and leather armor, either on horseback or on foot.
Although the former walked very slowly, the latter did not make a sound to urge him, but consciously adjusted his pace to ensure that no one would be left behind.
Bai Su was confused by this scene and couldn't understand it.
