Chapter 7: The Beginning of Vengeance
While Ping'an was thinking about it, the villagers who had packed up began to line up to enter the city.
The law of the Shenwu Kingdom stipulates that there is no charge for major cities to enter the city, but when you spend in the city, a part of the money will be collected and nationalized, so a penniless person like Xiang Ping'an can also enter the city.
Queued up and walked into the city, and not long after they walked forward, they saw a group of people gathered in front of them, not knowing what they were doing, pointing there.
Curious, Ping An followed the lively people to the accident site, and before he saw what was going on inside, he heard some people nearby talking non-stop: "Brother, do you know who the one who died inside is? Why are so many people watching around?"
After hearing this, the person who was questioned replied in a low voice: "You just came here not long ago, this one who died is a celebrity in the town, Yang Er!"
"Back then, this was a rich man in the town, but later offended the mayor of the town, was abolished, and his family property was confiscated. In the end, he became a beggar. ”
"He's been begging in town for so many years, and yesterday he didn't know how this man was so unlucky, and was stopped by the captain of the mayor's guard on the main street. ”
"Listen to the meaning of those guards, saying that Yang Er colluded with Qinglong Village and wanted to subvert the mayor of Qinglong Village with Qinglong Village, these guards started with Yang Er in the process of arresting Yang Er, Yang Er was directly beaten to death by those guards, hey, Yang Er was unlucky enough in his life, and it was a relief for him to die. After this person finished speaking, he pretended to be sorry and shook his head slightly.
When Ping'an heard the name Yang Er, his brain buzzed, his feet went soft, he sat on the ground, and only one voice echoed in his head, his father-in-law is dead? The murderer is the captain of the guard, and the murderer is the mayor of the town!
After slowing down for more than ten minutes, Ping An struggled to get up, looked at the onlookers around him, and pushed desperately: "Let me in, let me in...."
The onlookers heard someone crying behind them, turned their heads curiously to look behind them, and saw a little beggar squeezing forward like crazy, and there was a rancid smell on his patched clothes, and the onlookers covered their noses in disgust and avoided it.
After the people closest to Ping'an saw what he was wearing, they hurried to see if the clothes they were wearing were soiled by this little beggar, and some people found that their clothes were stained with some dust, so they quickly slapped them a few times, scolded them secretly, and retreated again and again to distance themselves from Ping'an.
Ping An looked at the onlookers who had dodged away, and hurriedly rushed inside, after seeing the clothes on the body lying there motionless face down, he felt that the whole world had collapsed, and his father-in-law saved his life, brought warmth and light to himself, but now he was lying here, unable to stand up again, and left him forever.
Ping An wanted to step forward, but he felt like someone had hit his head with a hammer, buzzed, his eyes were dark, and he felt like the world was spinning, lying in front of his father-in-law.
The onlookers looked at the little beggar who suddenly rushed in, lying on the ground with his head in his hands, screaming in pain, and hurriedly retreating in fright, saying that this kid would not have an infectious disease.
Because Ping An saw the tragic situation of his father-in-law, he had a splitting headache, and the hidden memories in the depths of his mind showed a part, and pictures appeared in Ping An's mind.
He saw an old man holding himself in the river and running away in the distance, he didn't know how far he had run, only that he was very sad and respected the old man, and this old man was the one who often appeared to talk to him in his dreams.
After the old man took him to swim to the shore, he looked at himself with a pale face: "Young master, your Grandpa Qin may be leaving you, and in the future, you have to take care of yourself." The Dugu family is still waiting for you to rescue it.
The memory in his brain came to an abrupt end here, the pain in his head slowly dissipated, Ping An didn't care about this, and hurriedly looked at the corpse on the ground, he still had the last illusion, he hadn't seen the face of the corpse yet, this corpse might be a beggar dressed the same as Uncle Yang.
Ping An trembled his hands, walked to the corpse, turned the corpse's head tremblingly, and saw the familiar face of his father-in-law, there was no smile on this face, only endless pain and unwillingness, looking at Uncle Yang's face was bruised, it seemed that he was beaten very badly before he died.
Ping An stretched out his hands and gently rubbed the scars on his father-in-law's face, crying silently: "Why? Why ?....?"
"Why good people can't be rewarded, why bad people can do whatever they want. Why!" Tears dripped down Uncle Yang's face, washing away the dust on his face. Reveal those horrible wounds hidden under the dust.
The surrounding onlookers heard the roar of the little beggar and sighed and turned to leave.
The two beggars, one big and one small, once again became the air in the eyes of passers-by, and this scene was very similar to what happened to Ping An at the beginning.
Qiang struggled to get up, turned his back on his father, closed his eyes in peace, and whispered: "Father-in-law, Ping'an will take you to them for revenge, from today onwards, I, Yang Ping'an, only live for revenge, and all those who stand in my way of revenge will die." Even if you kill the whole world, you don't hesitate to kill the whole world, Mayor Yuan, you wait for me. ”
The sky-high killing intent erupted from Ping'an's weak body, and the three war horses galloping on the official road were shocked by the killing intent on his body and retreated.
The three sergeants on the war horse, because the war horse suddenly stopped, were almost thrown out, they also felt the killing intent emanating from the young man carrying the dead body on the side of the road, and when the three of them saw the stagnant eyes of the young man, they unconsciously gave birth to a chill in their hearts.
The sergeant at the head held his right hand, which trembled slightly, secretly cursed himself for being a waste, rode his horse to the young man's side, raised the whip in his hand without saying a word, and slapped it on the young man's face, whipping the young man out along with the dead corpse on his body.
The sergeant on the horse looked at the young man who flew out, snorted disdainfully, and sneered: "I don't have any cultivation at all, and I still want to kill people, I think it's difficult for you to kill chickens." I really don't know whether to live or die. Driving..."The sergeant urged his horse under his crotch to gallop out of town with his companions.
Ping'an, who was lying on the ground, was woken up by a whip from the sergeant, and said in his heart that he was confused, that he was like his father-in-law, that he had not cultivated in his body, and that even if he went, he would be sent to death in vain.
Thinking of this, Ping An ignored the injuries on his body, and walked towards the outside of the city with his father's back, he didn't know when the mayor's power would appear, his goal behind his father's back was too big, so it was better to leave early.
Back to the residence of the two, Ping An put Uncle Yang on the straw mat, took off Uncle Yang's clothes, and began to wipe the dust on his body.
After a day and a night, Ping An took the rags and began to wipe them for his father-in-law, and after wiping them, he took out the only set of good clothes from the broken box and put them on for Uncle Yang.
Then Ping An came to the courtyard and dug a big pit for Uncle Yang with both hands.
Respectfully invited his father-in-law out, put him into the big pit, filled the soil back into the pit, respectfully kowtowed to his father-in-law's grave three times, and said in a hoarse voice: "Father-in-law, don't worry, your revenge and peace will be avenged immediately." ”
After burying his father-in-law, Ping'an fell to the ground tired, lying in front of his father's grave and falling into a deep sleep. It's not easy to hold on until now.
I don't know how long I slept in a daze, but after waking up, Ping An simply ate some wild vegetables, got up and came to the house, looking at everything familiar in the house, but now I feel so cold.
sighed softly, came to the old box that Uncle Yang regarded as a treasure, opened the box and rummaged in it, and finally found some silver coins under the box, took it out and looked at it, there were more than two hundred silver coins, and said that it seemed that God was helping him and taking revenge.
With the money, Ping An has confidence in his heart, in his mind that the only way he can take revenge is to use poison, but the only place he can get poison is Yong'an Town, where there must be strict control over poison, it seems that he needs to think of something that can be used as poison and can be bought.
Ping An remembered Gastrodia grass, the juice of which can paralyze an adult's whole body for an hour, and this thing is sold in every pharmacy, and it is a professional medical anesthetic medicine.
Thinking of this, Ping An got up, tightened his clothes, picked up the half-cut firewood knife by the door and tucked it behind him, and walked towards Yong'an Town.
All the way to the gate of Yong'an Town, standing at the back of the team entering the city, ready to line up to enter the city, did not walk a few steps, after Ping An saw the wanted notice posted on the city wall, his body was shocked, and he subconsciously wanted to go back.
Just walked two steps, remembering that he had been here once two days ago, no one paid attention to himself at all, and he didn't plan to come out alive when he entered the city today, Ping An took a deep breath, strengthened his courage, and walked towards the city gate, one step at a time, two steps and three steps, each step was like stepping on his heart, making him feel a sense of suffocation, and he felt that if he walked a few more steps, he would die of lack of oxygen.
Fortunately, the guards at the city gate did not pay attention to themselves at all, and when they saw that they were dressed as beggars, they pouted in disgust and turned their heads away.
Ping An breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and hurriedly quickened his pace into Yong'an Town, Ping An guessed that it might be because of his status as a beggar that made these people relax their vigilance, or it could be the scar on his face, so that he looked like the two of them were judged by the young man on the wanted notice.
After entering the city, he came all the way to a small medicinal herb shop on the main street, and the guy in the medicinal herb shop saw that he was safe and quickly stopped him: "I don't have anything to eat, you can go to another house to ask for it." ”
Ping An didn't talk nonsense, directly took out a few silver coins and put them in his hand, and looked at the guy quietly.
When the guy saw the money, he immediately put on a smiling face, welcomed Ping'an in, and asked him what medicinal materials he needed, Ping'an looked at the counter: "I don't know if you have gastrodia grass here?"
The guy was slightly stunned after hearing this, and said in his heart What should this little beggar do with that, that thing is generally used for anesthesia for patients, but looking at the silver coin in Ping'an's hand, the guy didn't ask much, and entered the counter while rummaging and asked, "Do you want gastrodia grass or gastrodia powder?"
Ping'an was stunned after hearing this, and said in his heart that there is such a thing as gastrodia powder, which is better, and the province will get it yourself.
Hearing that the little beggar asked for gastrodia powder, the man took out a paper bag directly from behind the counter, turned his head to look at the silver coin in Ping'an's hand, and frowned slightly.
Ping An looked at the other party's expression and knew that it might not be enough, so he took out a silver coin from his arms and handed it to the other party.
After taking it safely, he took the gastrodia powder in his arms, turned around and walked out of the pharmacy. He didn't know that the guy's expression just now was not that the money was not enough, but that he couldn't get started by looking at the stains on the money.
