Chapter 4: When I wake up, I will be a hundred years old

Early morning, drizzle, coastside.

A teenager stood on the edge of a cliff looking out to sea, not moving, as if nothing could disturb him. He was dressed in white, his long black hair was tied behind his head by a purple hairband, his skin was neither black nor white, although he was young, he had a slender but rugged figure, like an eagle in the night, and his body exuded a cold and arrogant temperament.

There was a burst of footsteps from behind, and someone walked slowly and unhurriedly towards the young man.

The young man's right ear moved slightly, as if he heard someone coming, and asked without looking back: "Mu Langjun, how many people have you brought back from this trip?" ”

The man behind the young man, who was dressed in dark purple clothes but only showed a pair of eyes, bowed and replied, "Shaodian, there are less than two hundred people. They are all eight or nine-year-old boys and girls, and their bones and posture are still good, you see? ”

"Act according to the original plan, and you won't have to ask me about these things in the future." A faint sound came in the wind.

When the man in purple looked up again, he was gone.

…………………………………………………………………

"Hurry up".

A group of panicked, ragged teenagers were huddled together like sheep and were driven by several men armed with long-handled knives, and walked in groups of three or five to the depths of the island, these teenagers were either wearing torn gray shirts or some large coarse cloth coats, but they could still cover their bodies. From time to time, there are children who fall behind, and they are ushered in by punches and kicks.

In the courtyard, the "flock" was driven here. The door slammed shut, and dozens of black-clothed men armed with long-handled knives instantly appeared on the courtyard wall, their faces solemn, and none of them made a sound.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

The man in black on the courtyard wall and the frightened teenagers have been in a stalemate for nearly a stick of incense. The thinly clothed child had begun to hold his hands on his shoulders and tremble. "Sister, are you alright?" whispered a young boy in a coarse cloth shirt one size larger than his own, who had begun to have a fever on the boat. A girl with a slightly green and thin body, her hands clasped in front of her chest, her body trembled slightly, her face was still a little blue, she looked up at the motionless figure on the courtyard wall with difficulty, and had no strength to answer.

The rainy day in October was already cold, but after a while, the first boy suddenly fell to the ground, and one figure after another fell down like a chain reaction. The other swaying movements that were still standing grew louder and louder. Shen Sansan hasn't fallen down yet, it's the girl who can't even answer her younger brother Shen Shiyi's words, Shen Sansan.

It is worth mentioning that during the reign of the Yuan people, among the Mongols, Western Regions, Jurchens, and Southern People, the Han people were the last untouchables. The Mongols had the "right to the first night" of three days and two nights to the Han people, and many newlywed women were ruined by the Mongol security chiefs and soldiers before and after marriage. In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, the first child usually falls to death in tears. In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, if ordinary people could not become officials or study, they only had no surname, and most of the poor families were named after the date of birth or the names of their parents. With the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, the common people began to gradually have names, but after the offenders, they still adopted the old customs of the late Yuan Dynasty.

(Three nights later, one of the children who was taken and locked up in the cellar finally collapsed in the cellar with a high fever, unable to bear the coldness and dampness of the southern cellar and the hunger that had been going on for days.) The little boy Shen Shiyi shouted and broke his throat, but no one came. He had no choice but to stay with his sister. Xu is one-night companionship has worked, and the body that fell down in the middle of the night slowly got up, she Xu was burned and confused, she didn't even remember who she was, and she even had some difficulty speaking. After this night, Shen Shiyi suddenly found that his sister seemed to be a little different from before, even if he couldn't say anything, he always felt this way in the dark. ）

"Here you assemble." Finally, an unfamiliar accent from nowhere ordered.

This sentence seemed to have a magical power, and the words just fell. The rest of the children who were struggling with life at the end finally couldn't hold on, and their legs went weak and they fell.

The black-clothed man standing on the wall of the courtyard leaped down, and with a few efforts, he stripped the group of teenagers who were already lying down.

Two hundred teenagers, both men and women, naked, were thrown in the torrential rain. Let the rain fall on them, and the cold will be all over them.

Cold, ashamed, and helpless came in panic for a while. In the courtyard, petite bodies were half-squatting and curled up together, crying everywhere. At this time, the child has experienced things early, and at the age of eight or nine, he already understands the difference between men and women.

But this shame is not enough for the "sheep" to resist, and in silence, in crying, it is half incense time to pass.

"Alright, let's go into the house, there are your new clothes in it, this is the first lesson for you, get a good experience." The voice of the speaker this time was full of disdain and arrogance, but these emotions seemed to be far less real than the sound that came into the house in front of the boy who was less than ten years old.

The teenagers were stunned for a few seconds, and they didn't know who was the first to rush out of the rain, and after a moment's effort, none of the children hesitated, and they all rushed into the house.

There was a sound of squirting clothes and snatching. The child, who had been standing in the cold for a long time, had already put on a black overcoat.

The rain in the courtyard gradually stopped.

An old man in blue came from a distance, and although his steps were not large, he had already walked in front of the children in a few moments. The old man frowned lightly and looked at this group of children with vigilant eyes, paused and said slowly: "The imperial court has been fighting for many years, paying heavy taxes, and starving everywhere, many of you are officials, rich businessmen should have lived a happy life at home, but your emperor has taken the nephew in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, causing the world to be homeless. You yourselves are living examples. Boys, do you think I'm right? ”

After the old man finished speaking, his eyes looked straight at the young men.

In the hall, although the young man who had changed into new clothes had temporarily faded from the appearance of being down, no one dared to face the person in front of him who had just taught him a lesson.

"Hahaha." A burst of wild laughter arose.

A few of the teenagers looked up with a little curiosity. I saw the old man in blue standing there laughing non-stop. It was as if there was something in front of him that made him laugh so much.

In the end, it was still the heart of a teenager, and one of the teenagers, who looked a little bigger, looked up and said to the old man: "Hey, what are you laughing at?" ”
