Dali Dynasty, the thirty-seventh year of Emperor Yuanguang, the capital.

The night is deep, the bright moon hangs high, and the stars are like diamonds set in the night sky, indicating that tomorrow will be a great sunny day.

At this time, on a tall building, an old Taoist priest wearing a lotus crown was lying asleep on a pear wooden chair, holding a pu fan in his hand, suddenly he opened his eyes and looked at a shining meteor drawn in the night sky, but no one in the city noticed it except him.

The old Taoist priest sat up, looked in the direction where the meteor fell, his eyes were slightly red, and he muttered in a low voice:

"The peach is dying, scorching its bloom. The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room.

The peach is dying, and there is a fact. The son is home, and his family room is appropriate.

The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming. The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. ”

……

More than a month later, the border of Gyeongju.

In the scorching summer of June, the sun hangs high in the sky like a big furnace, and the scorching sun makes people feel extremely irritable, and they want to destroy everything they see in front of them......

The official road is cleaned cleanly, and occasionally a few pedestrians pass by, but they are also in a hurry, not only afraid of being sunburned by the scorching sun, but also afraid of heat stroke from being sunburned.

Even the wild dogs that are scurrying around and picking up food on weekdays don't know how to hide in that corner and stick out their tongues to enjoy the coolness at this time.

But in this hot weather, there is a group of more than 100 people on the official road, who are hurrying under the scorching sun like a fool.

More than a dozen officials with open chests and swords kept scolding their mothers, secretly hating themselves for eight lifetimes before they took on this drudgery.

The bearded official who was the leader of the group, wiped his sweat with the hem of his clothes, heard the complaints of his colleagues, and shouted:

"Rest in place for an hour."

More than 100 people who were on the road breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and hurriedly found a big tree with lush foliage on the side of the road, and hid below to take advantage of the shade and avoid the sun.

The bearded servant took off the water bladder on his waist and drank a few large mouthfuls of water, because he drank too quickly, a lot of clear white water flowed down the corners of his mouth, instantly attracting countless hot and eager eyes.

Aware of these sights, the bearded servant turned around and grinned, carrying the water bladder, shaking his arms in the direction where the sight was cast not far away.

More than 100 ragged prisoners, men, women, and children, sat or stood, all of them yellow-skinned, unkempt, and chained with finger-thick chains on their hands and feet.

Their originally lifeless and numb eyes were glowing green at the moment, staring at the water bladder in the hands of the oncoming official ..... old man.

"Want water?"

The bearded official thought that he was smiling very kindly, but with his face shaking and his horizontal meat, he looked particularly fierce in the eyes of the prisoners.

Hearing this, the prisoners hurriedly lowered their heads, for fear that if they were too late, they would look at the bearded servant and be tossed by him again.

They only dared to lick their chapped lips with their tongues to quench their intense hunger, and their throats seemed to be burning with fire.

At this time, a thin girl walked out of the crowd, estimated to be about five or six years old, skinny and skinny, and her face was dirty and she couldn't see her appearance.

She was carried away by the strong desire to drink water, and her eyes were fixed on the water bladder, and her steps staggered forward.

Seeing this, the bearded man smiled and took off the short whip at his waist, and the whip whistled the girl's arm.

The little girl, who was already weak, was whipped viciously, and immediately rolled on the ground with her arms covered, letting out a heart-rending cry.

"Brother, it hurts ......"

"Green pear!"

Next to him, a thin boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, a lunge rushed forward to hug the little girl and look at the injury on her arm.

A hole was made in the girl's thin and shoddy prison clothes, and a red mark on her thin arm quickly turned purple, and even oozed blood.

The young man was just thinking about drinking water, and he didn't pay attention for a while, and his young sister ran out and was whipped viciously, and at this time he kept scolding himself with guilt.

The little girl's crying voice changed tone: "Brother, the pear hurts...... Whining. ”

The young man hugged his sister, his eyes were full of distress, and he coaxed her softly: "It won't hurt if you blow it, ...... good girl"

The prisoners around looked at the teenagers and girls in the field numbly, and they were already surprised by this scene that they were about to see every once in a while.

There was even a hint of joy in their hearts, because along the way, the young brother and sister had attracted all the wrath of the bearded man, so that they could suffer a little less sin.

This is the truest human nature, selfish, indifferent, and not about oneself...... The young man glanced at the prisoners and cursed in his heart...... This group of bastards has really mastered the essence of 'Dead Dao Friends Don't Die Poor Dao'.

The young man took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and squeezed out a flattering smile on his face before daring to turn his head to look at the bearded servant:

"Uncle Hu, you have a lot, spare us this time."

The bearded man grinned, showed a mouthful of white teeth, tucked the whip back into his waist, and shook the water bladder in his hand:

"Little prince, what do you mean by this? The villain is afraid that you are thirsty, so he made a special trip to deliver some water. ”

Don't, you're afraid you just want to invite Lao Tzu to pee...... The boy's face was covered with black marks from sweat, his hair had not been washed for a long time, and there were a lot of lice growing in the mess.

Looking at the fierce man with a big waist in front of him, as well as more than a dozen saber servants around him, the young man knew that the hero would not suffer the loss in front of him, and the scorn on his face deepened:

"Thank you Uncle Hu, but on a hot day, the cheap slave is afraid that you will be sunburned."

The bearded man smiled even more happily, and the water in the water bladder clanged: "The prince is considerate of his subordinates, and the villain must also know the current affairs, so please move over for a while." ”

Chang Wei is going to call for blessings again, when will this bitter day be the end...... The boy gently placed the girl in his arms on the ground and stood up with a cower.

The encounters along the way made him understand that if you are obedient, you can get better for a few days, and if you are disobedient, you can only hehe......

"Uncle Hu, thank you first."

He added in his heart: By the way, thank you to all the women in your family, and if you have the opportunity, help me ask them to play cards.

"Haha... The Martial Prince, who is rampant in the capital, actually whispers so lowly, is this not in line with your domineering temperament? ”

A few more officials came over with a grin.

The official surnamed Hu looked vicious, and he laughed and scolded a few words when he heard the words: "Lord Wang, this is to save us face, you turtle grandsons know a fart." ”

Lao Tzu still wants to give you a big ear scraper, do you dare to stretch your face over and continue...... The boy gritted his teeth and limped towards the bearded man.

The chains on his feet and hands rattled, and half of the word 'slave' could be seen on his open neckline and left chest, and his weak body made it a little difficult for him to take every step.

"How do you drink water when you stand so high?" An official with a mouth full of yellow teeth walked around behind the boy and kicked him in the socket of the leg.

The young man staggered to his knees and fell to the ground, his knees slamming heavily on the gravel, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his painful forehead.

It turns out that no matter where he is, the little ghost has always been more difficult than Lord Yama.

It is often the dogleg that is the most hateful......

The bearded officer smiled and raised his right hand, slowly pouring the water bladder, and the tiny water column fell to the ground, which was quickly absorbed by the dry earth.

Damn, Lao Tzu has such a violent temper, you really think Lao Tzu is a hot air balloon, no matter how much gas you get, it won't explode?!

I'm going to kill you brute at the chance! …… The young man's heart was full of anger, and his fists were clenched tightly.

But at this time, the cry of the girl behind him came, and after some psychological fighting, he finally took a deep breath and slowly stretched his neck to catch the water.

When his chapped lips touched the clear water, his whole body was refreshed, but he only took a sip before he was kicked to the ground by the bearded servant.

The bearded man stepped on the young man's head, crushed it vigorously, and said with a smile: "Wei Qingci, the year before last, I broke Lao Tzu's leg in public on the street, did you think that there would be today?" ”

Ever thought about it?

Think of a hammer!

At that time, Lao Tzu finished work during the day every day, and had to work hard everywhere at night to work part-time, as a tired and unpaid well driller.

Even the next morning, I had to spend a few more yuan to buy a few eggs to make up for the loss.

Where am I going to know what's going on between you and this little?!

The original owner broke your dog's leg? Why don't you just cut off your dog's head...... Wei Qingci felt that this black pot was very aggrieved, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Not long ago, because of a mission, he came to this ghost place in a daze.

As soon as he awoke, he found himself in prison;

As soon as he understood that he seemed to have encountered the legendary crossing, he was immediately sent to exile to the frontier in a daze;

And then along the way, every once in a while, he was taught how to be a person by a bearded man who had a grudge against the original owner of the body.

Wei Qingci felt that the black cauldron on his back was really big and heavy......

Thinking of the previous humiliation, the bearded official kicked the young man a few times, not only did he not feel relieved, but even the anger became bigger and bigger, and his feet began to be neither light nor heavy.

Wei Qingci was lying on the ground holding his head, shrinking his legs without saying a word, and suddenly felt a cool air flow pouring into his body from his chest, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and was beaten silently.

And being beaten is also a technical job.

In any case, a man must first protect his head when he is beaten, and it is nothing if he is beaten to death, but if he is beaten into a fool if he does not die, he will really live and suffer for the rest of his life.

Secondly, you must protect your brother, in addition to being righteous and angry, the most important thing is for your future wife.

After all, if you don't give her happiness, how can she give you loyalty......

The rest of the prisoners not far away were all trembling with fear, and they didn't look over, not daring to look at the cruel scene that happened in front of them.
