"It's a good thing, too."

Speaking of this, Er Niu also seemed to feel that it was really inappropriate to continue talking, and his voice changed, "In the two years that the White Lotus Sect was here, one of Aunt Cheng's nephews came over and lived in Aunt Cheng's house. During that time, everyone was doing well. Later, we fought with the people of the imperial court, and Aunt Cheng's nephew also made a meritorious service and received a cow! ”

Cattle in this era were a truly valuable resource, and it was a violation of the law to kill a cow for meat for no reason, and a cow could represent a labor force that could even exceed three or four adults.

Whoever has a cow in his family can speak in a much higher tone in the village.

"Even if it's been two and a half years of war, Aunt Cheng's life is not bad. It's just that then everyone can't beat it anymore, so they can only continue to retreat. When it was time to withdraw, the cattle could not be taken away, and of course they would not be left behind by the people of the court, so they had to be slaughtered and eaten for meat. ”

Erniu sniffed, "That cow, there is spirituality, kneeling on the ground and shedding tears. It's just that there's no way, people can't live anymore, they can't live, what should I do? A few more bites of beef may cost you a few more lives. At that time, Aunt Cheng seemed to be awake, lying on the cow's body, refusing to let people be knifed. Of course, everyone can't listen to her - if the cow is not killed and stays here, how can an old woman look at it? This is a rebellion! Human life can't withstand it, let alone a brute? After the cow was killed, Aunt Cheng started to go crazy again, and she kept scolding us, and everyone scolded us."

The fire in front of him was gone, and only the red speckled black embers that had been split by the cracks, which at first glance looked like unused charcoal, but in fact only the remains remained.

Then everyone left, and there were fewer and fewer people alive in the village. I will come over occasionally to have a look, but it is useless, Aunt Cheng will never leave. Even if you get there, how good can life be? She had to be evacuated in three days, and Aunt Cheng's body and bones couldn't hold it. Sometimes I think it's good for Aunt Cheng to stay here, at least she still has a home, and it's better not to toss if she doesn't know what else she will suffer outside. ”

Erniu stood up and stomped the pile of flame embers, and the luxuriant sparks burst out from under the soles of his feet with mud, like thousands of faint and small meteors streaked by, but with the meteors flying, there was also an overwhelming dust sputtering in all directions.

"Actually, it's fine. What kind of things haven't you seen in all these years? Aunt Cheng's thing. The past is also in the past, and it is nothing more than acquaintance. ”

Xun Ke's lips opened, as if he had something to say, but in fact, he understood without asking, but he inevitably had some expectations in his heart, "What about Aunt Cheng's nephew?" ”

"Dead in battle."

Erniu touched the crooked and hideous centipede-like scar on his face, "Many, many people died in battle, and the big cow, Erdan, and the black buttocks all died in battle." ”

He spat out a series of names, which were more or less unacceptable.

People in the countryside believe that cheap lives are easy to feed, and obtaining various nicknames probably won't be considered in terms of sounding, that is, Xun Ke has the title of a nerd.

But those names that don't like to hear correspond to those living people in Xun Ke's memory, everyone used to go to school together in a private school, go up to the tree to pick fruits together, and go to the source river to play in the water and catch fish together

A strong, suffocating feeling brewed in his chest, Xun Ke opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but the tears always slipped down first, interrupting the words that could no longer be blurted out.

This is war.

War is to the death.

Whether you know each other or not, whether you are familiar with it or not, whether the relationship is good or not, when everything is coming, many people do not have a choice.

The rebellion of the pure people at the bottom has never been a bright journey, he is only a cry of anger and helplessness that is partially oppressed to the extreme, hungry to the extreme.

Most of the unorganized people also burned, killed, looted, and became rogues wherever they passed, and the victims were still ordinary people.

The people who are in a disaster year and in war are the worst, and no one gives them a way to live.

Rebellion is death, ordinary life is also death, death is everywhere, and it is difficult to see a single hope.

Even if you don't count the humble lives of all living beings, that's the case.

Xun Ke was rarely so embarrassed, his crystal eyes looked at Gu Dan, his eyes were full of helplessness, he seemed to be expecting something.

This once energetic boy who wanted to change the way of the world is still too young at this time, and he seems so powerless about everything.

"It's going to be over."

Gu Dan stared at the pair of crystal eyes with tears, his voice was as plain and firm as ever, he nodded very seriously, and repeated: "It's over!" ”

He is not a natural saint, and he has always controlled the choice of "people don't offend me, I don't offend others", and he doesn't cause trouble or cause trouble.

Not everyone can do it: if there is no peace of mind, I have no peace of mind; It's not that I don't have enough money, and I don't have enough heart. It is the reason why the gentleman is easy to make it difficult for him, and everyone is easy to make it difficult for him.

But it is not easy to say that Gu Dan has become accustomed to all kinds of tragedies in the world!

If you can feel joy, you can naturally feel sorrow.

Hui Ji will be hurt, love is long, in troubled times, even if you don't do anything, as long as you go out the door, you will see the world become gray, like splashed ink.

The city is full of blood all over the place, nothing more than a thought to save the people!

In this world, it is time again when you need to make a life for the common people.

And this time, Gu Dan chose to go out of the mountain to help and return the world to peace in this big moon.

"With Mozi's best friend assurance, I'm afraid it won't be far from the peace of the world."

Seeing Gu Dan talking so seriously, Erniu couldn't help but open his mouth to enliven the already somewhat frozen atmosphere.

Of course, Erniu didn't recognize Gu Dan, but when he heard Xun Ke say that Gu Dan was Moqiu's best friend, he was naturally quite respectful.

The fame of Mozi at this time is a little insufficient to describe the big moon as the sky, and the existence of Mozi, the Mo family, and the Mo family has given many people a glimpse of a bright light in the almost desperate gray.

After all, he doesn't ask for anything, only wants the world to be stable, and the people can live, and it will probably take a thousand years for such a saint to appear.

Under such fame, being able to get acquainted with Moqiu, and even befriending him, is a reason for many people to trust and even respect.

Capable people will always be attracted to each other, after all, the tiger's friend can't always be a rabbit.

"How did you get back?"

Gu Dan didn't continue to talk deeply on this topic, no matter how much he said, it was better to do something practical, Mo Qiu said it while doing it, and he naturally had to do it.

"Lost the battle. I can't hold on anymore. ”

Sighing, Er Niu said helplessly: "We originally had eight halls, and although it was difficult to fight with the people of the imperial court, it was not impossible to fight." But some time ago, for some reason, I heard that the sect leader suddenly disappeared with a group of people. The people who were taken away were all high-ranking members of the church. Without those people, the situation that could have been barely maintained would be completely unbearable. ”

"No news?"

Gu Dan asked again.

In the letter sent to him by Wang Mang, this matter was also mentioned, and the White Lotus Sect Master left suddenly with several good hands in the hall, and he didn't even explain why it was so, even the White Lotus Holy Maiden didn't know.

The number of people who left was actually not very large, but they were all good hands, in charge of the affairs of the White Lotus Sect, large and small, these people were taken away by the White Lotus Sect Master, and the White Lotus Sect was like having its bones removed, and it couldn't be hardened at all.

If it weren't for this change, Wang Mang and the White Lotus Holy Maiden would not have been able to make up their minds so simply to seek the inheritance of the White Lotus.

"Nope. Who knows? Anyway, now there is no way to fight anymore. None of the eight people in the hall could be defeated, and now there are only three halls left, and if they continue to fight, they will all die. Besides, the sect leader hasn't shown up for so long, and everyone is scared." Erniu said.

As soon as the sect leader ran away, people's hearts scattered, and the team was naturally not easy to lead.

Gu Dan thoughtfully.

The White Lotus Sect is keen on rebellion, and the White Lotus Sect Master is a grandmaster-level figure, if he is greedy for life and afraid of death, if it is really inviolable, it is not easy for a grandmaster to simply want to escape?

You must know that there is no Protector Grandmaster in the current Great Moon!

The White Lotus Sect had not yet reached the point of exhaustion before, and it was clearly because of his departure that such a result had occurred.

What is the reason why the White Lotus Sect Leader would rather let the forces he formed by himself suffer heavy damage, and he would also take all the good players in the sect to disappear?

His original plan was to go to Yuzhou for a trip, so it was better to get rid of the White Lotus Sect Leader and save this scourge if there was nothing to do, just thinking about rebellion.

But if the White Lotus Sect Master is not there, it will be simpler, just directly incorporate the White Lotus Sect, and then take the collected White Lotus Sect and go directly to Yangzhou to meet Moqiu.

After that, you can also discuss it carefully with Moqiu.

If Moqiu was willing to ascend the Dragon Pavilion, Gu Dan would not have any opinion.

Anyway, it is enough to put down the suffering in front of you as quickly as possible.

After being promoted to the Grand Master, Gu Dan was ready to slaughter whoever stood in front of the peace of the world.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Dan asked, "By the way, do you know Hongyang Hall?" ”

If I remember correctly, the hall that Wang Mang managed was called Hongyang Hall.

Erniu immediately patted his chest and said, "I'm a person from Hongyang Hall!" We're not deserters, and now we're only coming back here because the hall master ordered us to withdraw first, so I'll come to the village to have a look! If the hall master asks me to go back, then I will go back without saying a word! We can know Mozi, it's all because the hall master takes people to tell the story of Mozi all day long! ”

"Oh? You seem to like Hongyangtang very much? ”

Gu Dan heard the meaning of the words, "Why?" ”

"The master of the royal hall will treat us as people!"

Speaking of this, Er Niu was interested in talking again, and said in a loud voice: "Now the remaining three halls, the people in the Mixed Yuan Hall are basically old people in the sect, they are all lazy and lazy, they don't see anyone when they fight, they shout louder than anyone else when they get credit, and they always talk with their qualifications, and they look down on those of us who join halfway, which is the most hateful!"

There is also the Mahayana Hall, all of which are very valuable, and all of them are a group of rich people. I can't look down on this, I can't look down on that, I can't wait to see people with my nostrils, although one is more afraid of death than the other, but it's still relatively good at fighting. They couldn't hold out in the first place in this battle, and if it weren't for them, maybe they would have been able to survive for a little longer!

Only Hongyangtang does not dislike us, if there is merit, we will be rewarded and punished, and we will judge the matter, regardless of qualifications and background, everyone obeys the master of the royal hall! The hall master often eats with us mud-legged people, and I even drank with him once! I heard that he was also from a bitter background before, and he chose to rebel because he couldn't stand the court, and one of the people he admired the most was Mozi, otherwise how could we know that saint! ”

"So, you're very convinced of that hall master?" Gu Dan said.

"That's it! If it weren't for the hall master, where could people like us ride a horse, we would have been robbed a long time ago! The person I admire the most is the hall master! ”

The uplifting voice was like honor, obviously he agreed with Hongyangtang and Wang Mang very much, Erniu pointed to the horse tied to the eaves outside the door to shelter from the rain, quite proud.

Horses are naturally not as valuable as cattle on weekdays, but this is in troubled times!

I've heard of riding a horse and whipping, but I've never heard of riding a bull and sailing away, right?

It is really not easy for a person from a background like him to have a horse as a mount.

"I understand, it won't be long before the hall master you worship will come over."

Gu Dan nodded slightly, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

In the recent letter, Wang Mang did not boast about the career he had worked hard for - although according to the letters in the early years, this career cannot be said to be all about eating soft rice, it can only be said that he is a rich woman who is not far from ten.

But to be able to make his subordinates so trusted and respected, it is completely impossible to not have enough personality charm and means.

However, recalling that when the Gu family's small courtyard had nothing to do with the Mo family, Wang Mang, who was just nine years old, dared to play the trick of ventilating the news and killing people with a knife, and now it is not surprising that he can have such a mind and means.

Maybe it's because the cell boss is used to seeing the dangers of the world and knows very well how to entrap the people under him.

"Huh?"

Er Niu was a little stunned, how could the hall master Wang say that he was also one of the best heroes under the White Lotus Sect Master, why did he come here for no reason?

Gu Dan didn't say anything more, picked up a half-broken clay pot from under the eaves, took a lot of rainwater, and poured it on the embers of the fire that had been almost completely extinguished in the house.

"Thorn Lala~"

White smoke rose up, and the swaying people couldn't see their faces clearly.

Although this house can no longer be truly inhabited, it was once a home, and it should be cherished.

Didn't keep a few people waiting too long.

After a while, Gu Dan was the first to hear the sound of horses galloping.

Compared with the movement of the second ox riding on, the sound of the horse's hooves perceived by Gu Dan this time seemed calm and powerful, obviously better, and it was two horses galloping together.

"Brother Gu?! Are you here? ”

From afar, Wang Mang began to shout in a very loud voice.

"The voice?"

Erniu raised his head blankly, and asked in disbelief, "Why do you look so much like the hall master?" ”
