In 154 B.C., at the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's nephew Liu Bi of Wu contacted Chu, Zhao, Jiaodong, Jiaoxi, Jinan, and Zichuan to jointly raise troops under the pretext of "cutting the feudal domain" of the imperial court and infringing on the interests of the princes. Liu Bi pretended to launch a rebellion in the name of "eliminating the king's side and punishing Chao wrong", wanting to seize the throne of Emperor Jing. At that time, the Seven-Nation Alliance claimed to have 500,000 troops, and after the outbreak of war, they once had the upper hand.

Later, Emperor Jing sent Zhou Yafu as a captain to lead the army to meet the attack, and before March, Wu, Chu and the other five kingdoms were swept away, and as a result, the kings were executed or killed themselves. Although the flames of civil strife lasted for a short time, it affected countless people......

In the midst of the war, tens of thousands of families were torn apart and wives were separated. As a result, countless refugees who have left their hometowns have helped the old and the young to run for their lives on the arduous road and struggle to the death line. Among the fleeing crowd, there was a Jinan man named Niu Yi. His home was looted by the rebels and then destroyed by fire. That's it, Niu Yi's home was destroyed by this civil strife. Niu Yi, who lost his home, and his family of three could only wander around.

During the escape, Niu Yi and his wife died one after another under the pressure of disease and hunger, leaving behind a seven-year-old son in the world. The cowardly and helpless child used his immature little hands to bury his parents in this sparsely populated and barren place.

It coincided with late autumn, and Xiao Xiao's autumn wind blew mercilessly like a whip to whip the leaves on the trees from the trees to the ground, and then whipped them up from the ground.

The black crow stood on the branch and saw what happened to the leaves. It made a few noises, as if to praise the brutality of the cold wind. Hey, that's what the foolish crow does.

The smug cold wind whipped the leaves back and forth, and the weak leaves were left to be at their mercy. Finally, after the autumn wind tortured all the green to thin and yellow, the green remained in this desolate land forever.

Two new graves have been added to this grieving rocky hill. The child, who had been lying on his stomach for more than two days, was unkempt, covered with dust and broken leaves, motionless as if he were dead. This is the seven-year-old son left by Niu Yi of the Jinan family mentioned above, called Niu Chongtian.

He and his parents fled the war and came here. Unfortunately, his parents fell ill and passed away within two days. For Niu Chongtian, who is still a child, this incident is a catastrophe that has collapsed.

Niu Chongtian was in great pain, lying in front of his parents' graves, not eating or drinking, just crying. He wept profusely, then sobbed, and finally began to cry without tears or sound. If no one comes to rescue him, then in a few days, Niu Chongtian will be dead! You can't see this situation, right? Please show mercy and save this poor child!

In the afternoon, the wind was getting lighter, and the annoying crow finally flew away. Suddenly, a whirlwind blew in the graveyard, and the whirlwind swirled around in the graveyard and turned behind Niu Chongtian, and the whirlwind slowly stopped. In an instant, a slender old man appeared there with a cane. Then, the old man slowly walked to Niu Chongtian's side. He bent down and stretched out his hand to gently pull Niu Chongtian.

The old man called as he pulled: "Don't be sad, child, come with me! You can do some chores for me, just herd the cattle." I'll take care of your food and lodging, come on!"

Niu Chongtian raised his head weakly. After glancing at the old man, he nodded, shook his body and tried to stand up slowly. At this time, Niu Chongtian was really hungry, his head was dizzy, and he didn't even have the strength to walk.

When the old man saw him like this, he took out a bun from his pocket and handed it to Niu Chongtian. Niu Chongtian took the bun and devoured it. He suddenly felt that he had strength, and strode after the old man. He didn't have long to walk before he came to the old man's house.

It's a big house. From the house to the fence and the gatehouse, it is all blue, and the blue bricks and tiles are magnificent. Later, I learned that this old man's surname She was a rich man named She Xiucheng. This person is not human, he is a snake spirit who has successfully cultivated and has become a human form. His family has a wife, a son and a daughter, a servant, three long-term workers and a new arrival, Niu Chongtian, a total of nine people.

As soon as Niu Chongtian walked into the courtyard of the She family, he met a son-in-law brother who was more than ten years older than him. He is the young master of the She family, named She Dayang, this person has a strange personality, is sour, and loves to play smart.

She Dayang saw that his father had brought back a little child, so he greeted him and asked, "Daddy, you're back." Where did you get such a little kid back?"

Master She said: "This child has no relatives and no support, and he is homeless and pitiful." I asked him to come to our house to do some chores for him to eat and shelter, and he would be able to live, and it would be nothing to our family. ”

"That's the case! Daddy, you're tired, you can rest assured! I can arrange this little thing for him, you can leave it to me!" She Dayang behaved quite actively. She Xiucheng rarely saw his son perform so well, and now he was really surprised to see it.

"It's okay, you must not arrange a lot of work for him, he is still young!" She Xiucheng agreed to his son's request, because he did feel a little tired.

Before leaving, She Xiucheng was still a little uneasy. He hesitated, glanced at his son, and walked away. She Dayang carefully looked at the child in front of him. His face was dusty, and he looked quite handsome. Although people are thin, they are very spiritual.

Although She Dayang, the son of She Xiucheng, has also taken on human form, his cultivation time is short, and he is not mature enough to still have the demonic nature of a snake spirit. At this time, She Dayang's heart was already flooded with an attempt to hurt someone who was more handsome and smarter than himself.

He said coldly, "Come with me!"

They came to a place. She Dayang said: "This is my family's cowshed, and there are three cows in it for you to feed. You have to clean up the sanitation inside and outside the shed, carry water, collect firewood, and go to the field to graze cattle when the farm is not working. You eat with the long-term workers and sleep in the cowshed, and now you can find a place and spread some hay so that you can sleep. In a moment, when I'm gone, you can hurry up and get to work!"

Good guy, he arranged more work for Xiao Chongtian than an adult did. During the day, the cattle are herded, the cattle pen is cleaned and carried water in the morning and evening, and when the cattle are not herded, they also have to go to collect firewood to do some other work. It seems that when Xiao Chongtian entered the She family, he fell into the clutches of the young master of the She family. This little heavy heaven can be sinful.

She Dayang also felt that it was indeed too much to arrange these jobs for a child. But I just want to exhaust him to death, and if I don't get tired to death, I will tire him half to death, otherwise my heart will be very uncomfortable! Don't blame me, boy, if you want to complain, you can only blame your own bad life. You should be a little wronged! She Dayang thought of this and felt that the smell here was too bad. He didn't say anything, he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. As he turned to leave, another thought popped into his head.

What a wretched man! A seven-year-old boy should be asked to do such a heavy work, this is too miserable! Other work is easier to do, that is, those two big wooden barrels, how can this work? The two empty wooden barrels weigh about ten pounds, and it takes a lot of effort for a small heavy day to carry the empty buckets, so how can they use them to carry water? Niu Chongtian! Niu Chongtian, your life is so miserable! Who let you be put on such a ruthless and vicious young owner's stall!

After She Dayang left the cowshed, he didn't go far and didn't leave. In order to see Niu Chongtian's jokes, he quietly hid not far away, secretly watching how people worked and how helpless!

Niu Chongtian understood everything from the first time he saw She Dayang to the words he said just now. I met a very bad person, and I also knew that my future life would be very bad. So what's the solution? I can only boil it slowly.

Niu Chongtian first picked up a broom to sweep the floor, but he stopped after a few sweeps, because the ground was too dry, and a lot of dust was raised when he swept it. He's going to sprinkle some water and sweep it up. So, he walked to the tank and went to the tank to see that there was no water in it.

Niu Chongtian said to himself: "Let's get some water first!"

When he saw the bucket, he thought it was too big. Standing in front of it, I wasn't much taller than it. He tried to lift it, but felt that the bucket was too heavy. At this time, Niu Chongtian was really in trouble.

He scratched his head and kept muttering, "What can I do?"

When She Dayang saw this, he secretly smiled and thought as he left there: "Boy, you are in big trouble!

The next day, She Dayang came to the cowshed to inspect. He was amazed that the cowshed was clean inside and out, and that the tank was full of water.

She Dayang nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and muttered: "How did you get this jar of water? Don't look at others who are quite powerful? I underestimate you." ”

She Dayang felt that there was almost no smell here. Although Niu Chongtian did so well, his bad thoughts of playing tricks on Xiao Chongtian still haven't been dispelled.

At this time, She Dayang was pacing around there. Suddenly, he came to the wooden barrel for carrying water, took it in his hand, looked at it, and put it down. He went into the cowshed and found a large nail and a small hammer. I saw him come up to the barrels, and put them face up, and it seemed that he was going to drill a hole in the bottom of the two barrels. What a lossy idea!

I saw him swing the hammer a few times, and the hole was drilled. He thought, "Can the boy fill this tank with water?" If he doesn't have enough water, I'll have a reason to deal with you, a stinky boy.

On the third day, She Dayang came again. He saw that it was as clean as it was yesterday. The water tank is still full, and there is a lot more firewood than yesterday. He was both surprised and wondered, could the wooden bucket still be used? He walked over and looked at the bottom of the bucket upwards, and it turned out that Niu Chongtian had plugged the hole with a cloth twist, which did not affect its use at all.

She Dayang was really happy and angry. He was glad that his little servant was able and clever, and he was angry that the boy was so clever that he made himself jealous and made his heart feel very uncomfortable.

She Dayang calmed down, patted his head, and came up with a bad idea. He went into the cowshed, found a handful of hammers, carried them to the water tank, and smashed them into the mouth of the tank. The water tank was smashed into a gap, and water gushed out and flowed all over the ground. She Dayang threw his head on the ground, smiled slightly and walked away.

She Dayang angrily entered his mother's room.

"It's the other way, it's the other way, the new kid didn't work well and smashed our water tank. She Dayang said to his mother with a scheming heart.

Mrs. She was an anxious person, and after hearing her son's words, she slapped the table and stood up and said, "I heard your father say that he had no parents, and he was single and young and pitiful, so he brought him back." If he doesn't appreciate it, why should he smash our water tank? This is too hateful! I have to drive him away. ”
