Chen Sijiu took the blackened silver bean.

He stretched out his hand and gently patted Peng Yingyu's head, and said with a smile: "You kid is still a little filial, and you know that you are worried about your father." ”

"That's right, my father and mother are good to me."

Peng Yingyu sat down again, hugged her knee with one hand, grabbed the crotch of her pants with the other hand, pinched out a lice from the crotch and bit it in her mouth, gnawed her fingers while worryingly: "I just don't know if my father and mother are still alive, many people in Jiangxi starved to death, at first you can eat wild vegetables, wild grass, and then you can only eat leaves, bark, and then eat Guanyin soil, and then the river is dry, and if you don't eat, we will flee to the north." ”

"Why don't you flee the wilderness and go further south?"

Peng Yingyu said: "To the south again? There are many southern barbarians and mountain bandits over there, some people were caught by the barbarians of Huguang and went up the mountain to be locked in the pigsty, picked the tendons and tendons, and beat their heads into fools, it is better to go to the north to be a drive for the Mongolian lord, I also heard that the king in the cottage likes to eat children's warm liver, tie people up, splash their hearts and livers with cold water, and dig them out while they are hot......"

Chen Sijiu was silent again.

Since the establishment of the Great Yuan, the rebel armies in various places have risen and fallen, and they have not stopped.

Today's government has very limited access to the place, the Mongols and the Semu people have no ethics to speak of, the discipline is chaotic, the people are not the people, and the officials and the army are not the official army.

Dayuan's officers and troops are more bandits than bandits.

Officials collude with each other, deprive and deduct, fight lawsuits and ask for money, and if they win the lawsuit, they need money, and if they lose, they need money, and they can't afford to pay back? It doesn't matter, the government has captured you and sold you to the temple as a slave, or sold to the rich man, the pawnshops opened by the temples in various places, usury, called longevity, and the usury played back by the eyes is called lamb's interest, and the life is endless, Lao Tzu died and his son returned, and his son died and his grandson returned.

A few years ago, after the great drought in Shaanxi, there was a major flood, and then the locust plague, thousands of miles of red land, there was a tragedy of changing children and eating.

"Does the government in Jiangxi care?"

Chen Sijiu asked.

Peng Yingyu snorted and scolded: "The government? If I gain power in the future, kill all the colored dogs, the color of the government will be especially wilted, all kinds of ways to deduct the people, taxes have been received for more than a hundred years, the government is worse than the robbers, the robbers also know to leave some spring seeds for the peasants next year and then rob, the tax collectors of the government, even the spring seeds are robbed for you! ”

"It's the White Lotus Society, the Ming Sect, and the Maitreya Sect, which open warehouses to release grain and absorb the common people, especially the White Lotus Society."

Chen Sijiu squinted his eyes and pondered, the White Lotus Sect had set off a huge uprising a few years ago, and the Dayuan Imperial Court had designated the White Lotus Society as a left-hand ban, and later the elders of the White Lotus Society made a lot of silver money to the Semu merchants, so that they could reduce the restrictions on the White Lotus Society.

This sect is originally a branch of Manichaeism, most of the high-level people are in business, they have a lot of money, and the owners of the halls in various places are all local tycoons with hundreds of millions of family assets, listening to Peng Yingyu's statement, these three sects have begun to accumulate strength and are ready to start an incident.

"Little monk, give me your water hyacinth."

He swallowed his saliva and moved his arms, feeling that his throat was still a little thirsty, according to the master's teaching, this should be excessive blood loss, fortunately, his body was strong and could withstand it, he went to the edge of the sea again, knelt on the ground and picked up a gourd water, and poured three gourd water into it, and then began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

If Peng Yingyu is right, this place is still a long time away from Kaiping, the capital of Dayuan.

Then you have to drink enough water, otherwise you don't know where the next meal will be.

The water of this little sea is saline-alkali water, bitter, and there is cow and sheep dung in it, and the driving slaves captured by the caravan are also released by the guards at this time, and they run over to drink water frantically, they push each other, scramble, lie in the cow and sheep dung, you fight for me, for fear that they will not be able to drink water......

Several women and children were trampled under their feet because they could not run fast because they were tied with hemp ropes under their feet, but no one stopped, and in their gray and dull eyes, there was only the water in the sea on the ground, as if this water could free them.

Drinking the gourd water just now, barely recovering Chen Sijiu's spirit, he began to observe the surrounding environment, there were several merchants or beggars burning earthen stoves in the distance, and there were some plant ashes below, Chen Sijiu did not dislike it, and stepped forward to apply the plant ashes to the wound on his arm to prevent inflammation and infection.

At this time, several Mongolian warriors with shaved hair and braids, carrying horsewhips in their hands, led their horses to this side, they were all arrogant and fierce, and the monsters laughed and beat the Han people who were lying in the sea and drank water with the horsewhips in their hands, and kicked them with their feet.

Chen Sijiu frowned heavily when he saw it.

One of them should be the leader of the Mongolian warriors, he looks not very old, but he is stocky and pot-bellied, obviously the Great Yuan Mongolian big-footed nobleman, the Mongolian warriors on both sides opened the way for him, let him drink horses, he saw a female slave on the ground with fair skin and a good face, and stepped on the female slave's shoulders with one foot, and the female slave only cared about drinking water and did not resist.

The leader of the Mongol warriors took the slave girl by the neck as if she were looking at an animal, pinched her mouth open, and looked at the slave girl's teeth.

Chen Sijiu was about to speak, but the slave girl saw that she was being taken by a Mongolian lord, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly hugged the leg of the Mongolian samurai leader and flattered her.

"This is the big old man."

Peng Yingyu leaned over to Chen Sijiu and whispered to him.

"Hama, he's a descendant of the Golden Family?"

Peng Yingyu shook her head.

"I don't know, I only know that he is a Kipchak, it seems to be the Kangju clan of the Western Regions, and I heard that his mother is the nurse of Emperor Ningzong of the Great Yuan."

Chen Sijiu sighed.

Nahama directly lifted the maiden's sackcloth, inspected the goods in public, and felt that the woman's skin was fair, and it was quite appetizing, so he nodded to the samurai next to him and took the slave girl away.

Seeing this, the surrounding slave girls stepped forward to recommend themselves, but they provoked a whip from Hama.

"What are they doing?"

Peng Yingyu grinned and said: "Only when you become the slave of the eldest lord can you have food, otherwise you won't even have alfalfa grass for livestock to eat, have you seen those thin old men?" ”

Chen Sijiu looked.

There were two old men who were skinny, not to mention trousers, only two pieces of torn linen tied around their waists, and they walked tremblingly, and they fell to the ground and tried to drink water, and they didn't seem to live long.

"Most of these thin old men will starve to death tonight, and if you have the courage to eat meat in the evening, you may be able to share some of their bones."

Chen Sijiu was stunned.

Peng Yingyu seemed to be commonplace, and grinned: "Do you think I'm very powerful?" Let me tell you, I have seen a lot on the way to escape from the wilderness, and the shoulders of people who are going to starve to death are hard, their arms and legs are weak, and especially their eyes are not bright. ”

This is something that the three masters have not taught Chen Sijiu.

He looked at the thin old men, and sure enough, he saw that they had sallow faces, stiff shoulders, weak hands and feet, and some gray eyes like the eyes of a dead man.

Chen Sijiu looked left and right, there were some grass seeds on the side of the road, which could be peeled to make powder to eat, he beckoned Peng Yingyu to help, took the grass seeds from those horsetail grasses, picked some dandelions, crushed those grass seeds and dandelions, and distributed them to the thin old men.

Peng Yingyu said: "What are you doing like this, these people have eaten the last meal and have not eaten the next meal, it is better to die, you can get clean when you die, do you see those few white spots on the skin?" ”

"They are all the great lamas in the temple who want to do things, they are caught and taken from the heart, liver and stomach, and the calf bones are made into Dharma names, and the soul can't go to the eighteenth layer of hell when they die, and they can't be reborn early if they die early?"

Chen Sijiu shook his head and said.

"There is a difference between dying of a full meal and dying of starvation."

Originally, these expulsion slaves were not allowed to run around, and some people in the back saw Chen Sijiu and Peng Yingyu scavenging grass seeds as food, and they also followed the learning, and went forward to eat grass seeds, these expulsion slaves usually in order to prevent them from escaping, they did not give food, only a little water and a little forage for livestock to eat, their move, instantly caused a riot, several Mongolian warriors noticed Chen Sijiu, the old man Hama, also led two samurai over.

"Who are you!?"

He shouted.

Chen Sijiu swept the caravan's eldest lord Ha Ma and said, "I am the head of the thirty-fifth generation of the Heavenly Master Dao, and I went to Shangdu to meet His Majesty the Great Yuan Emperor and offer the elixir to the Great Emperor. ”

"Where did you hide my elixir, Dao saucer, bow and arrow?"

Hama looked him up and down, put his hands on the belt around his waist, and snorted coldly: "I remember, you are the bastard who secretly drank Longjiao mare's milk wine, I don't care how many generations of Taoist leaders you are, according to the rules of our Mongolians, you were snatched by me, and you are my slave." ”

Chen Sijiu grinned, his eyes flashing: "If I snatch you over, then you are also my slave?" ”

Hearing this, Hama took a step back, and several Mongolian warriors happened to bring two mastiffs at this time, and these two mastiffs were red in their eyes, drooling in their mouths, and barking wildly and restlessly.

Peng Yingyu hurriedly took a step back and whispered: "This is a mastiff that eats dead human flesh, if bitten by them, it will become a madman, afraid of heat and wind, and when it sees the wind, it will foam at the mouth and die." ”

When Da Yuan conquered the western countries, there was once an army of mastiffs, all of which were mastiffs, which were used to bite the enemy's military horses and loot the money of the rich in the city, and these mastiffs were the descendants of the mastiffs.

Hama snorted coldly: "Little Taoist, meeting me Hama is a blessing you cultivated in your previous life, the new emperor of Dayuan is about to ascend the throne, and there is a lack of some strong firefighters to serve by the side, I think you are good, you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, I will send you to the palace, you can be rich and noble, you don't have to be a slave here to live happily?" ”

"I don't know how many people want to enter the palace as a fire, but they don't have a chance yet."

The fire is also the eunuch, Chen Sijiu laughed when he heard it, took a step forward, looked at the two mastiffs roaring wildly, and suddenly stared, the copper bell-like eyes burst out of the soul-stirring eyes, and noticed the strong evil aura of the tiger fighting the bear on Chen Sijiu's body, and the two mastiffs were all so frightened that they retreated again and again, lying on the ground and bowing their heads and whining.

"Your dog is good."

Chen Sijiu reached out and touched the heads of the two mastiffs and looked at Hama.

Ha Ma was shocked, gritted his teeth and was about to scold angrily, when a Mongolian warrior next to him stepped forward and shouted: "My lord, Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, has come to meet you with a few followers, and he also brought fifty jars of Shanxi liquor, thirty silver ingots, and two hundred pieces of cloth. ”

Hearing that Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, brought a generous gift, Hama's face suddenly turned into a smile, and he laughed: "Oh, Brother Han is so polite, where are they?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a hearty laugh behind him, and a burly man with a wide forehead and leopard head and ringed eyes, dressed in silk and satin, walked over with several burly retinues.

The person who came is the head of the White Lotus Sect of the Great Yuan, Han Shantong of the Hebei people's family, his family has been the elder of the White Lotus Sect for generations, the early days of the White Lotus Sect, the incense in the north and south are very vigorous, but unfortunately during the period of the Great Emperor Kublai Khan, the White Lotus Incense Lord Du Wan fought against the Yuan, and the White Lotus Sect was sentenced to be a rebellion for a period of time, otherwise the White Lotus Sect may compete for the position of the king of the teachings at the Great Dharma Meeting of the Sects that year, if the White Lotus Sect is not against the Yuan, there will be no Quanzhen Taoist Zhao Zhijing in the north.

Now it has been twenty or thirty years since the White Lotus Uprising, and the current leader Han Shantong is a brave and resourceful person, he came this time, with his henchman Liu Futong and Taoist Mr. Guan Duoguan, specially to go to Dadu, to congratulate the new emperor of Dayuan Timur, and want to explore the current trend of Dayuan, and prepare for the future uprising.

Over there, Chen Sijiu squinted his eyes and took a look, and found that this Han Shantong was high-spirited, and Liu Futong and Mr. Guan behind him were also heroes for a while, and they thought of what several masters said, there is a person named Han Shantong, who is also anti-bone, and he will definitely cause trouble in the future.

He looked at Han Shantong and saw that the bones in his chest were protruding, his broad shoulders were concave, and his bones were in his arms.

"The sect leader of the White Lotus Sect is so angry."

Peng Yingyu, who was beside her, muttered quietly.

Chen Sijiu patted his head, touched the back of Peng Yingyu's head, and said: "Boy, don't envy him, you can be more magnificent than him in the future, there is a saying that the gun shoots the first bird, you see him standing on the dragon plate, his eyes are like copper bells, he is burly, his men are all strong and strong, and the White Lotus Sect is all over the world, what do you think?" ”

Peng Yingyu scratched her head and pouted in confusion: "I thought that no one would dare to mess with him." ”

"That's right."

Chen Sijiu narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, is brave and strategic, and has a lot of wealth, the Mongols have to give him face, and when the Mongols can't give him face, he will find face himself." ”

"It's a pity, it's the common people who suffer......"
