Chapter 35: Master's Past (3)
"Huh? There are a lot of aunts and wives in this official, I don't know which room you are talking about? The pot-bellied governor looked at Master playfully there.
"My sister's name is Yang Xiuyun, and she only got married three years ago!!" Master holds the bars with both hands.
The state official pretended to think about it: "Yang Xiuyun.... Well... I seem to have an impression, isn't it the woman with tears in the corners of her eyes? β
After saying that, the state official's smile became even more playful.
Since the master was still very young when my sister got married, the master closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while before his eyes lit up: "That's right! She's my sister. β
"Oh-she's your sister, so to speak.... Are we still a family? Hahahaha. The governor laughed, and the flesh on his stomach trembled up and down.
The two scrawny prison officials standing in the back looked at the master with some pity in their eyes.
Although the master noticed their expressions, he didn't think too much about it.
"Yes, yes, yes, is there some misunderstanding? Why are you arresting me? β
Although the master was very disgusted with this middle-aged official, he had already been arrested, so he had to be angry.
"Misunderstanding? Hahaha, yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding," the official laughed cordially.
"Do you hear that? It's all a misunderstanding, let me out quickly! Although the master felt a little strange in his heart, when he heard that the middle-aged official seemed to be about to let himself go, he quickly became a fox.
"Presumptuous! Dare to make a fool of the people! Running out of the plague area without permission and trying to spread the plague is simply heinous! β
My grass, this change is a bit sudden, and the master was stunned for a while.
"What??"
The middle-aged official looked at the master with disdain: "Hmph, a wild boy, he is also worthy of being a relative to me?" β
Without waiting for the master to react, the governor stood up with his hand dragging his stomach: "Come on, hit this wild boy with 20 boards and throw him out of the city." β
A person who looked like a prison warden in the back was stunned, stepped forward and said cautiously: "My lord, he can't carry the 20 big board, right?" After all, he's only 12 years old. β
The state official was unimpressed: "Hmph, what if you are killed, Jian planted one." β
"What? Do you want to be nosy? β
The prison warden hurriedly lowered his eyebrows: "Don't dare, don't dare!" β
The governor turned around, glanced over his head, and said, "One glance at your sister, Jian Chong, it's better to beat you to death and go down with your sister as a companion." β
The information content of the governor's words was a bit large, and the master was blindfolded, and the governor had already turned around and walked to the door.
"You get back to me and make it clear, what's wrong with my sister! What did you do to my sister!! Master roared angrily with red eyes and head against the prison bars.
The governor didn't pay any attention to the master, but just turned around and ordered when he was about to go out: "If you are killed, just find a place to bury it, and if you don't kill it, throw it out and let him fend for himself." β
After the governor left, several prison guards came to hold the master, and the master was still there frantically shouting: "You make it clear! Bastard! What's wrong with my sister, dog officer. β
Although in troubled times, no matter how numb a person is, he always has a little conscience in his heart.
"Alas, child, the people can't fight with the officials, don't worry, we will give you a way to live. Let's go. β
The master gave up struggling, and several prison guards supported him and slowly dragged the master out.
The prison head looked at the master with some distress, what an innocent child, beckoned, and gently commanded the prison guards in their ears, signaling them to pretend to hit twice.
With red eyes, Master lay on the stool, motionless, tears watering his eyes full of hatred.
Although the prison guards were really careful to finish the 20 big boards, after all, the master was still young, and the fake board also made the master's ass bloom.
The prison chief personally watched the master and walked towards the outside of the city.
The master was lying on the shoulders of the prison head, his eyes were blank, and these two lines of tears hung from the corners of his eyes: "Dad, mother, sister." After that, I really became an orphan. β
In a small grove outside the city gate, the head of the prison carried the master and gently placed him on the ground.
"Baby, if you want you to escape this catastrophe, just find a county town in the south and live well, I heard that the Northern Expedition is going to be successful, I'm going to take refuge, this bullshit world."
The master didn't give any response, just stared blankly at the prison head, as if there was a trace of gratitude in the depths of his eyes.
"AlasβI'm gone, and I've left you some money on these dry rations, and I hope you can live." After leaving a little dry food, a pot of water, a little money, and a knife, the prison head turned around and walked away.
The warden even came back halfway to cover the master with a dress.
"It's a day in January, don't freeze to death, the clothes are a little shabby, not as good as the brocade clothes, and I'm gone."
"Thank you." A thank you popped up on Master's dull face.
The prison boss smiled, this time it was really not going to go.
The master lay on his stomach, his thoughts drifting for a long time: "I must live." β
The master had red eyes, clenched his fists, and his voice trembled a little: "Damn dog officer, if you harm my sister, I will definitely let your whole family die~"
The gray sky slowly drifted down the goose feather snow, and the master's ass was already frozen and rotten, and he was trembling and clutching a piece of bread to eat.
Master's eyes were firm: "You can't cry, tears, tears will freeze." β
The bad weather made Master quickly catch a cold, his head was hot, his head was dizzy, and after struggling in the wind and snow for a while, Master fell asleep.
...................
The master sat on the round table, the tea was already cold unconsciously, and the master's eyes were a little trance.
I was just listening to it when Master suddenly stopped and couldn't help urging, "Master? And then what? Are you dead? β
The master came back to his senses and took a sip of the tea in his hand without hesitation: "You are stupid, why am I sitting here telling you stories when I die." β
I coughed dryly twice: "Then you continue, you continue, I won't beep." β
..................
Master wakes up in a daze and finds himself lying on an unfamiliar bed.
"Shh
It turned out that the master accidentally pulled his ass.
It's already sunny outside.
If you look closely, it is a very simple room, the interior is a little dilapidated, and the wooden room is full of dampness.
A little girl who seemed to be the same age as him jumped out of the door, and saw that the Master had woken up and was blinking at her.
The little girl was stunned for a few minutes, and ran outside excitedly: "Dad, come on, little brother is awake." β
"Eh, it's coming," a gruff voice came from outside the door.
The man was a middle-aged man with a hat and an elegant face, and his muscles were strong even in winter clothes, which alone was completely different from most people who did not have enough to eat at the time.
"Xin'er, go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of porridge." The gruff man commanded at the little girl.
Xin'er, this name is so nice, Master thought secretly in his heart.
Although the man looked very rough, his personality was indeed extraordinarily gentle, and he hurriedly took off his hat and went over, wanting to support the master and prevent him from moving.
"Uncle, your hair....?" Master's voice was a little shocked.
The man smiled shyly and touched his head: "Oh, you say this, I don't want to have such ugly hair, and besides, I am inseparable from the court!" β
That's a domineering statement.
"Then, uncle, what if you are seen by the officers and soldiers?" Master lay on the bed, one hand carefully tapping his buttocks.
The man gently brushed away the master's hand: "Isn't it okay to wear a hat when you go out?" Besides, we don't usually have much to do with the outside, and now the Dog Court itself can't be busy. β
Master didn't know whether there would be a war or not, and he didn't know that the Qing court would go out of business soon.
"Uncle, how did you save me?" Master's voice was grateful.
"When Uncle went to the city to get some prey for food, he saw a person lying faintly in the grove, and when he got closer, he was still breathing, and he rescued you."
Master's expression was a little lonely, and he didn't want to speak.
The man continued: "Beat people to death with a board, and then throw them out to fend for themselves, and at first glance it is the masterpiece of that dog officer." β
The man frowned and gently massaged the master's back: "It's not the first time you've been in this situation, the last time it was even worse, a mushroom was cold, the lower half of the body was beaten and bloody, and when it was thrown out, it was directly out of breath." β
The master suddenly felt a pain in his heart and asked the man, "Is that woman's surname Yang?" β
The man frowned: "Hmm... It seems to be, it's been three or four years, and I can't remember. β
"But what are the other typical features?" The master asked relentlessly.
Seeing that the master was so persistent, the man stopped the hand that was massaging the master, pinched his chin and paced back and forth a few times.
"Typical features..... By the way, when I first got married three or four years ago, I didn't know what happened and was killed within a few days, and I heard that the landlord's family was married..........."
The man was about to continue, but saw that the master had closed his eyes and was sobbing quietly.
Seeing this, the man hurriedly comforted the master and slowly stroked it on the master's back.
"Okay, baby, don't cry, there are still people who are sad for others these years, you are also a great blessing, since that mushroom cool, I heard that strange things often happen in the yamen, otherwise they can show mercy to your subordinates?"
Master cried even harder, and gradually, he began to cry loudly.
When the man saw that the master was crying sadly, he did not continue to comfort the master, but just slowly calmed the master's breath.
After the wail, the master sobbed for a while before he slowly spoke: "That.... That person is my sister, my own sisterβ"
After speaking, the master lowered his head and gritted his teeth, and the tears fell again, but this time, the master did not cry.
The man's voice was a little embarrassed: "What...... What the? β
