Chapter 109: A Tragic Life

"Are you serious? There are so many men in Qinglou in the world, don't you have to kill them? Ye Chen asked with a twitch on his face.

"I can't control other men, but as long as I have entered this Qinglou in Minle County, I will kill! You're just my first target! ”

Ye Chen suddenly realized that this was only the other party's first target, otherwise, with the crossbow arrow of He Hongwen in front of him, it was estimated that there were really few people around this county town who could dodge his hidden arrow.

Ignoring Ye Chen's expression, He Hongwen continued to take care of himself, and Ye Chen did not interrupt him.

From He Hongwen's mouth, Ye Chen heard a story of ups and downs, twists and turns, but it contained bitter blood, tears and hatred......

He Hongwen was born in an ordinary small village around Minle County, his parents were ordinary farmers, and he belonged to the kind of existence that was thrown in the crowd and anyone who saw it would never look at it again.

This is also the fate of most people in this era, ordinary, may be like this all their lives, and they are powerless to change.

Growing up with He Hongwen when he was young was also a girl named Zhou Siyu, both of whom were hard-working people in their families.

The two children have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they are the kind of people who dig up a roasted sweet potato in the field and will split it in half and share half of it with each other.

Originally, all of this is just like this, no matter how ordinary it is, if nothing else, He Hongwen will grow up to be an ordinary person, and he may have the opportunity to enter the Qi Cultivation Hall, or have any other opportunities to change his fate.

But his fate, like most ordinary people, was that Lady Luck did not favor him.

When he was ten years old, someone came from the town and screened the children of the appropriate age, and it was not surprising that He Hongwen did not have the talent to become a qi practitioner.

But Zhou Siyu was selected and successfully entered the Qi Cultivation Hall in the town.

thought that Zhou Siyu would take a completely different life path from He Hongwen from then on, and there would be no intersection between the two.

But Zhou Siyu has a soft spot for He Hongwen, even if he has been practicing Qitang for several years, he still thinks about the lover in his heart all the time.

As a man, He Hongwen was unwilling to stop here in his life, so he ignored the opposition of his family, no longer farmed the land steadily, but shuttled between the city and the countryside, just like He Yang back then, became a trader.

It didn't take long for He Hongwen to earn the first pot of gold in his life by relying on his hard work and brains.

The family was also overjoyed when they saw this, and they originally thought that He Hongwen would not go to farming, and his father, who was lazy and lazy all day long, also changed some of his views and became a foot merchant with He Hongwen.

However, in this era, the gap between classes was insurmountable, and coupled with the policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business, He Hongwen's actions soon attracted the attention of the yamen.

As a farmer, his only mission in life is farming! Naturally, the government did not want to see the peasants make a fortune.

In the end, all his gains were found to be illegal, and his father was imprisoned on all charges, and died in prison soon after.

He Hongwen was about to cry and blinded, he didn't even see his father's last face, and he couldn't even get his father's body back for burial.

Since then, he has seen this cruel world clearly, no strength, no rights, even if you want to change your fate, those big hands above will never allow you to turn over!

He Hongwen was not discouraged, he did not believe that fate could control a brave person!

Since he is heavy on agriculture and suppresses business, he can't change from a farmer to a businessman, and he doesn't have the talent to become a qi practitioner, then he will gain fame and fortune!

First, for fame and fortune, and secondly, for crossing this insurmountable gap!

Prove that you are not wrong on the right path!

The mother watched He Hongwen wash his face with tears all day long, why can't her children be like other people's children, honestly go to farming, and think about it in her head every day, which has not brought any benefits except to make this not wealthy family even worse.

A young man of the same age as He Hongwen, he had already gone to work in the field, looking at other people's children, He Hongwen's mother kept scolding He Hongwen all day long, scolding him for being a broom star, and he was pretentious day by day.

The perennial mental pressure once made He Hongwen on the verge of collapse, but when he thought of Zhou Siyu, he survived all this, whether it was the cynicism at home or the pointing and pointing of relatives, he carried it through.

Every day is accompanied by books, although he reads late, and the village does not remember that people can read, but He Hongwen really persevered.

Although everyone is not optimistic about him, Zhou Siyu has always been by He Hongwen's side, and he can understand the bitter tears in his heart, and Zhou Siyu is the only one.

After a few years in this way, before I knew it, I came to the age of talking about marriage.

Zhou Siyu's father is an extremely stubborn person, so he naturally would not agree that his daughter would marry a man who can't support the wall like this.

As soon as he heard Zhou Siyu mention He Hongwen, his face changed, and when he heard that his daughter wanted to marry such a waste, he was immediately furious.

And later, when He Hongwen came to visit, he personally kicked him out of the door and scolded him in front of the villagers.

"Just like you, you still want to marry my daughter, as long as I still have a breath, I will never agree to this family business, you died as soon as possible, if I know that you are pestering my daughter, I will break your leg!"

Facing Zhou Siyu's father's angry scolding, as well as the eyes of the people around him, He Hongwen couldn't raise his head or straighten his waist for a while, feeling that he might really be like this for the rest of his life, and he should let go for the sake of Zhou Siyu's happiness.

But Zhou Siyu made him stand up again and again.

Yes, how much ridicule have I suffered along the way, how much infamy I have beared, and how much infamy I have cared about?

He Hongwen wiped away his tears and continued to study hard.

In a blink of an eye, it was a few years, and on this day he stood at the entrance of the village, saying goodbye to Zhou Siyu, and swore at this moment that he would definitely come back with fame.

Zhou Siyu's father looked at the two from a distance and shook his head, his daughter refused to marry no matter what, and forced each other to die at every turn, so that she was almost past the age of marriage.

But this time, if the kid surnamed He fails again, she should also wake up, this is the last concession as a father.

Zhou Siyu at the entrance of the village looked at He Hongwen who was far away and had mixed feelings in her heart, she didn't say that if He Hongwen didn't achieve fame this time, she could only obey her father's order and let him handle her own marriage.

On the way to Beijing, He Hongwen slept in tombs, ate tree bark, and lived in broken temples.

With amazing perseverance, he finally arrived in the capital!

Ten years of sharpening a sword! Finally came to his place, in the imperial examination he will be full of enthusiasm and hope, in one go!

The few days he spent waiting for the results of his exams were one of the most difficult moments of his life, and he kept praying for his father to bless him.

On the day of the release of the list, he rushed to the front.

He looked at the names on it over and over again, from champion to list, from Tanhua to Jinshi...... There just doesn't have his name.

He Hongwen felt that the sky was about to fall, but what really made him collapse was still to come.

Because when Zhongjuren's article was revealed to the world, He Hongwen saw an article that he was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it!

It was he who wrote it down in the examination room!

His fame has been replaced!

Why is the heavens so unfair to themselves! Why!

He Hongwen didn't know how he returned to his hometown, he didn't know how to face Zhou Siyu, and he didn't know where he got the face to go home.

If he dared to fight before, then today he understands one thing thoroughly.

People can't fight against fate!

Back in her hometown, Zhou Siyu was very calm, as if she had already known the result, she could no longer be willful, and told He Hongwen about her marriage.

He Hongwen was discouraged, but when he learned the other party's name, he found that the other party was the person who replaced him on the list.

I thought that I would be able to break the gap between the unspoken rules and my background by gaining fame, but I didn't expect that I was still in the hands of these families.

After that, He Hongwen drank alcohol for a long time, paid credit in one inn after another, and it became commonplace to be kicked out, and he no longer had the passion and motivation to live.

On the day Zhou Siyu got married, he watched from afar, hoping that the person he loved could be happy.

The story should have ended here, but he didn't think that after the villain who snatched his fame accepted a concubine, Zhou Siyu disappeared mysteriously, although he heard that he also reported to the official, but He Hongwen didn't believe that it was a coincidence.

He inquired around, and finally saw his beloved woman in the Qinglou in the town, who had become a dusty woman.

He wanted to escape with Zhou Siyu, but he almost broke his leg by the thugs in the Qinglou.

The cost of redemption is 10 gold, not to mention 10 gold, even 10 silver is an astronomical amount for a poor bastard like him now.

But he has failed Zhou Siyu for so many years, and he must not watch it!
