Chapter 1 The children of the generals
Winter in the north is cold to the bone.
Beishan Fort Hundred Households, inside a dilapidated house.
Wu Nian opened his eyes and stared blankly ahead. The dilapidated roof, cracked beams, exudes an old atmosphere.
After watching it for a long time, Wu Nian smiled bitterly and accepted the fact that he had crossed over.
In his previous life, he was an international mercenary, proficient in all kinds of firearms, and also learned martial arts, good at fist and foot kung fu and cold weapons.
This kind of identity and occupation is destined to be able to lick blood from the knife's edge. During a mission, he was shot and then lost his mind.
This country is called the Great Chu State, and it is a feudal society.
His name is also Wu Nian, he is 20 years old this year, he is a soldier of a military household, his parents are dead, and he has an older sister who is married.
At the beginning of the founding of the Chu State, this hundred households had a strong combat power. But the state of Chu gradually decayed, and now Baihusuo is like a big farm.
The hundred households are the big landlords, and the rest of the small soldiers are the families of the hundred households, and they have to help the hundred households cultivate the fields, and the annual taxes are very heavy, and the military households cannot eat enough at all.
The entire 100 households have been dilapidated.
After Wu Nian received the memory, he smiled bitterly. "Soldiers, it's really miserable."
Suddenly, Wu Nian felt a light in his eyes, he instinctively became vigilant, and quickly relaxed again.
There was a young girl standing in the doorway. The girl looked like she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, unkempt, wearing a tattered winter coat, shivering from the cold.
The girl looked at him vigilantly, as if she were a rabbit, and looked like she would run away at any moment.
Wu Nian smiled bitterly again.
The girl's name is Liu Xiang. The Wu family's parents went up to the mountain to chop firewood many years ago, and when they met the little girl, they didn't know anything, so they picked it up and took it as his child daughter-in-law.
It's just that the original owner is not a thing, he is a well-known drunkard and a bad gambler in the entire hundred households, and after getting drunk or losing money miserably, his personality is even more brutal than that of a tyrant, and he returns home to beat and scold Liu Xiang.
Even the original owner had the idea of selling Liu Xiang to a brothel in exchange for gambling money.
Don't look at Liu Xiang's current appearance, she used to be a very beautiful white girl.
Although Wu Nian is a mercenary, he kills people without blinking. But he is very good to his family and friends, and he is very righteous.
The crossing was shocking, but now that it has come to this. Then he can only live in this world as Wu Nian.
This is his home, Liu Xiang is his child daughter-in-law, and he will treat her well.
Wu Nian turned his head to look at the door, and said with a slight smile: "Morning, Xiang'er." ”
Liu Xiang sneered and said, "The wine is sober, right?" ”
Wu Nian smiled bitterly and opened his mouth to speak, but he was speechless. The biggest problem with this drunkard is that getting drunk is like a different person.
Before the original owner got drunk, there was nothing wrong with him except gambling.
But when you get drunk, it's really ruthless and beats people to death. Liu Xiang can't see it when she is wearing clothes now, and her body under the clothes is definitely full of holes.
Liu Xiang dragged such a body, and every day she had to cook on the fire, go up the mountain to chop wood, and work in the fields, taking care of a rotten gambler and a rotten drunkard.
Although Wu Nian didn't blink when he killed people, he also felt that his scalp was numb, and he scolded, "The original owner is really a bastard." ”
Death is only a momentary pain, and being subjected to domestic violence for a long time is endless pain.
"I've got the meal ready."
Liu Xiang didn't say much to Wu Nian, and after saying it again, she put down the broken curtain, turned around and walked out.
"Hey." Wu Nian sighed, and then put on the troublesome clothes according to his memory. He was dressed in a ragged deerskin garment, a pair of straight linen trousers, tied with a thick hemp rope, and a stinking tattered sheepskin hat to wear.
The weather in the north is cold, and people are not as particular about dressing as the Han people in the south. In terms of dress, it is actually similar to those barbarians, mainly to keep out the cold and practical.
The Wu family has a dilapidated courtyard, after leaving the bedroom. To the west is the kitchen, and to the east is the firewood house and thatched house.
Wu Nian exhaled a breath of cold air and couldn't help frowning. It's cold inside, but it's even colder outside. After standing still for a moment, Wu Nian walked briskly to the kitchen.
Although Liu Xiang herself is unkempt, it is not that she is lazy, but that the weather is cold, and the conditions of the Wu family are really not qualified to boil water for a bath.
They can't take a shower once a month in a big winter. Even if you wash your face, it's cold water to deal with, and the grease on your face has accumulated over the years, and the good-looking girls are ugly.
Liu Xiang works very diligently, and the kitchen is cleaned up. In the humble kitchen, there is a broken stove. A lame square table with a piece of wood on it.
On the table is today's breakfast, two large bowls of rice bran and a little rice bran rice.
Other than that, it's gone.
I didn't even have a pickle to eat.
Although there is such a thing in his memory, when Wu Nian saw it with his own eyes, he still felt shocked. Is this the food that people eat?
To put it mildly, in modern society, dogs eat better than this.
However, Wu Nian didn't say it, he smiled and came to the table and sat down, wanting to bring the two closer.
"Xiang'er. Is it weaving today? Wu Nian looked up and asked.
It's winter now, and the fields don't need to be taken care of. There is an old loom at home, and Xiang'er relies on weaving to subsidize the family.
Liu Xiang glanced up at Wu Nian and began to eat without saying a word.
She eats the smell of thief.
Wu Nian hit another wall and wanted to scratch his head a little. Then I started eating too. This rice bran is like a thorn that slides into the throat, and the throat is as uncomfortable as it is.
But Wu Nian didn't dislike it, and tried his best to finish the rice bran rice.
Food is poor, but it's a source of energy. If you don't eat in this winter, you can really freeze to death.
"But this kind of life is too miserable to be a long-term solution. I've got to find a way to get some meat to eat. After eating, Wu Nian put down the dishes and chopsticks, watched Liu Xiang twist his waist and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and went to wash the dishes diligently.
This bowl without a little oil and water is really convenient to wash, and it will be clean with a casual brush.
Wu Nian quickly thought of the fastest way to improve his life.
Hunt.
This relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the sea to eat the sea. An experienced hunter, entering the mountain is like entering the peach orchard of the queen mother, and he has what he wants.
Do what you think.
Wu Nian quickly went back to his bedroom and went to find a bow and arrow.
After he left. Liu Xiang put away the dishes and chopsticks, then came to the cabinet and took out a small package of paper-wrapped things.
Holding this thing, Liu Xiang's little hand trembled a little. There was a look of hesitation on the little face, and he struggled hard in his heart.
This little packet is not a good thing.
It is arsenic that seals the throat with blood.
She wanted to poison Wu Nian.
It doesn't matter if two people die together.
The resentment of being beaten for many years took root in her heart and grew into a towering tree.
But on the other hand, the Wu family's parents were kind to her. It's the one who raised her.
This small packet of arsenic has been bought for a long time, but she has been hesitant.
"Am I really going to poison this brute?"
Liu Xiang was very hesitant in her heart.
