On Chinese New Year's Eve, Fu Yu had already wiped his grandfather's body clean, changed into a brand-new gray linen life suit that the old man had prepared a long time ago, and the pair of mille-feuille shoes that he was usually reluctant to wear.

Outside, the sound of firecrackers, the lanterns are colorful, it is rare that there is no curfew in the Ayaluo Beijing, the crowd is endlessly crowded in the east and west cities full of red lanterns, the snacks from all over the country are steaming hot, the miscellaneous tricks from the Hanyuan Continent attract people to watch and cheer, the restaurant is overcrowded, the sound of gongs and drums is shouting one after another, the young boys and girls take advantage of the beautiful scenery of the good day, meet along the noisy street, taste the food and choose a variety of handmades.

Occasionally, there will be a few commotions in the crowd, and those sons and brothers of the wealthy gentry and family lords, with their family servants, show off their power and debauchery in the street market, and after molesting the good family, they will go to Fengxiao Pavilion and other places to find that happiness.

And all this has nothing to do with Fu Yu.

At this time in previous years, he rarely accompanied his grandfather to keep the New Year, and was always alone, going to the two cities to join in the fun, and he didn't spend money just to be poor.

Tonight, he just wants to accompany his grandfather and spend a cold Chinese New Year's Eve in a house full of fire oil.

The noise outside the house became lower and lower and finally returned to silence, and the candles on the desk would also burn out, the wax oil melted into a piece, piled up on the table, and Fu Yu sat on the kang mat in a daze.

At the time of the child, with the sound of a bell in the Ping'an Palace, it was a new year.

The originally quiet city was lively again at this time, from the Heian King Changgong's mansion, fireworks were lit, and the black night sky was lit up in bursts of light, and firecrackers began to be lit everywhere in the city.

Fu Yu got up, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to his grandfather, and silently said, "Grandpa, Happy New Year!" ”

The candle was just extinguished at this time, Fu Yu picked up the baggage, picked up the "Dongfang Collection", before closing the door, took one last look at his grandfather, walked out of the house, and then threw the torch in his hand into the house, and soon the fire rose to the sky, and the brilliant fireworks in the distance were reflected behind the house, and a figure walked out of the yard without looking back.

Leaving the city from the east gate, Fu Yu didn't know where he was going or what he was going to do, and originally wanted to go outside the Wuying Department to see if there was the latest notice after the Shangyuan Festival, thinking about joining the army and making meritorious contributions to the Chang Gong, but as a result, his grandfather died unexpectedly in the Ping'an Palace, and the death was only worth two dollars of silver, not only the ideal in his heart, but also the admiration and belief in the Ping'an Wangchang Mansion, all collapsed in an instant.

Fu Yu walked from midnight to the dim sunlight on the horizon, and walked all the way east along the official road. On the way, he passed through a town, and did not stop, but continued to walk aimlessly, until he came to a village at the bottom of the mountain, sat on a pile of stones, and chewed on the water of the stream.

Smoke rose faintly in the village, and some farmers began to walk out of the house, and after a few bursts of firecrackers, they swept the doors and windows with a broom, patted their bodies, and then called the children to carry the New Year's gifts, ready to go to the town to visit relatives and friends. There are also a few hunters, ready to go to the mountains to pick up some dry firewood, the prey is not to think about it, they have long been frightened by the sound of firecrackers and do not know where to hide in the mountains.

A few people carrying cloth bags, ropes and firewood racks walked towards Fu Yu from under the stream, and when they passed by him, they only looked at him, and no one paid attention to him.

Someone complained: "What's going on in recent years, the weather is getting cooler and cooler, and on Chinese New Year's Eve the year before last, there was actually a heavy snowfall, which is really strange." ”

"I heard what the village chief said, it's going to change."

"Shhhh Isn't it just that it's cold, and it doesn't delay you from drinking, so don't say a few big words. ”

"What are you afraid of, originally, don't you believe that when we go down the mountain, you see, those miscellaneous things in the town will definitely come to collect rent, and they will come again after last autumn, and they will come again this time. Are your homes ready? ”

"If you don't have it, you have to have it, but I borrowed a hundred catties of corn and buds from my relatives. Alas, what do you say, in previous years, it was symbolically collected, although this summer will be a little more busy, and it is not taken seriously. But at the beginning of this new year, it is not pleasant, and every family has to pay 200 catties, and there was still some surplus in the past, but how to live this year. ”

"Haven't you heard, last year, I couldn't get a big bargain on the Jiang side, and then the barbarians on the Dongrong side fled to the hinterland of Mozhou after the autumn, and then went north and walked around from Shunzhou, before returning to the grassland, looting and burning along the road, so as to hang down to our Jiaozhou here, otherwise not to mention two hundred catties of grain, even two hundred catties of meat, are not enough for those barbarians to clean up."

"Every few years, our emperor Lao'er is going to go on a westward expedition, and it seems that this time, he is going to go east again. It's been a very difficult day. ”

"Okay, be content, it is said that the neighboring villages have begun to catch strong men......" After a few people walked away, Fu Yu didn't hear anything. I hurriedly filled my stomach, got up and patted my buttocks, and was about to continue on my way when I heard the sound of horses' hooves on the official road behind me.

The cavalry and horse team of twenty people looked a little familiar, Fu Yu didn't think about it, followed and followed the team, and saw those people gathered in the village square, Fu Yu hid in the trees in the forest outside the village and watched, only to see the old man and the women, began to move bags of grain from home, after weighing, one person took a poke and covered the sack with a red mark.

Fu Yu also lost interest and was about to jump down, when he saw a lieutenant-like person, shouting loudly, constantly whipping a pair of kneeling old men with a horsewhip in his hand, Fu Yu couldn't hear clearly, but vaguely heard what was still a hundred catties, what didn't want to live.

Immediately afterwards, the general took out his waist knife, and cut down the two old men without mercy, and then pointed at the other old and young women and children around him with a blood-stained knife, and scolded loudly, even Fu Yu heard it, "Don't think I don't know your tricks, come here, smash the scale for me, and replace it with our official title, if you lose a pound today, Lao Tzu will kill you." ”

Soon, most of the sacks were piled on the other side, and only a few were lifted onto the wagon and placed on the bar, which should have met the weight standard.

The villagers who were "short of catties and two pounds" were pushed and knelt on the ground by the soldiers, and kept kowtowing and begging and crying, the family really couldn't go on, it was just the New Year, and begged the adults to let them go, and they would definitely double it at the end of the year, and promise not to deal with it like today.

The man at the head, distraught by the noise, scolded and spun in circles, and slashed down at a thin woman who was begging the loudest, and soon the ground was covered with blood stains, and his body twitched twice, and then he stopped moving.

After another shouting and shouting, a few of the people kneeling on the ground returned home, and soon brought the sacks, but they were still reluctant to let go, and finally were dragged back by other villagers, watching their family wealth that they had worked hard for a year be looted and emptied.

Most of them still stayed in place, and they really couldn't take it out, so the general did not hesitate, and ordered a few people, and he waved his hand and ordered to raise his sword to kill and kill to set an example.

Suddenly, an arrow passed through the man's head, and he stood for a long time, and then fell to the ground with half a turn, and then clusters of arrows came from the left and right, and before the twenty people had time to hide, they were full of arrows, and they immediately became hedgehogs, and they died on the spot.

Fu Yu found that on the roofs of the surrounding village houses, a group of green-clothed figures wearing white scarves appeared, one of them was dexterous, and quickly jumped to the square, arched his hand with the villagers, didn't know what to say, and then threw down a white feather arrow, and ordered someone to carry away dozens of sacks, and then disappeared into the mountains behind the village.

When Fu Yu was about to climb down the tree and turn around and run, his heart was still pounding, and he saw several thrilling murder scenes in a row, which was completely different from what he had seen in the previous book.

How mighty the general was, but he still died at the hands of an unknown person.

Fu Yu wiped his sweat and tried his best to stabilize his mind, the official road in front of him, the picture of mountains, forests and hills in the distance, with the thumping heartbeat, trembled and moved. At this time, he only felt a hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Little brother, how do you feel after watching it for a long time?" ”

Fu Yu didn't dare to turn his head, but stammered: "Okay, the good man spares his life, I, I'm just the road, passing by the village, this, let's go!" ”

The man behind him patted him, then walked in front of Fu Yu, took off the white mask covering his face, and it was a young handsome face, with sword eyebrows and red eyes, and just said: "You have seen everything you shouldn't see, I can only kill people and kill my mouth, otherwise it will be spread to the government, and we will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

Fu Yu's heart beat even harder, he stayed in place, sweat kept dripping down his forehead, and then his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground, learning from those villagers to kowtow to the man in front of him and beg for mercy.

The "Dongfang Collection" in his arms fell out, and the man picked it up, flipped through it casually, and jokingly said: "Do you know that this legendary joke is not the true story at all?" It's just that the common hypocrite, who holds a knife and orders people to compile it, in order to fool the whole lie of the future generations, and by the way, can it still confuse the public and try to pass on it through the ages? It's really ridiculous. ”

The man paced, around Fu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately, and then said: "That good-looking Chang Gong, once his will was vicious, not only occupied the young lady, but also ordered people to join his nine clans, persecuted and played with the woman's body day and night, and finally died with hatred before more than a month. Especially for the son who fell in love with the beautiful woman, he used a terrible torture method, tied him to a wooden stake, poured boiling water repeatedly, and ignored the screams, and then stroked the meat with an iron brush, that picture, thinking about it is very tasteful. It is said that that year, the Heavenly Duke was furious, causing a golden thunderbolt to smash the palace, and the Chang Gong was unscathed, and it was even more rampant. I've always wanted to try the taste of human flesh, but unfortunately there is no suitable candidate, and today is just right, do you think we are considered a coincidence? ”

If Fu Yu's heart was beating more than once at the beginning, he could hold it strongly, but when he heard this, he couldn't stop trembling.

With a snap, the man slapped Fu Yu on the shoulder, but said something in a cloud and mountain mist: "Little brother, if in the future, if you can be like that Chang Gong, and soar to the top of the world, will you be like him, and your ferocity will be exposed in vain?" ”

But he never thought about it, looked down and found that Fu Yu had fainted to the ground, and a ray of sunlight shone on Fu Yu through the forest, the man sniffed his nose and found that this kid actually peed his pants. The man couldn't stop laughing, and tears flowed from his eyes.

It's true, two mouths and three words are shocking teenagers, and the four seas and lakes are ridiculous.
