Then in front of each of them, Yu Chiyi, Kong Xun and Jiang Chenxi had an extra bowl of rice porridge with clear soup and little water, and there was brown rice bran skin floating on it.

The taste of the dull and astringent taste made several people taste it like spitting it out.

Under the pressure of An Xin's eyes, he swallowed it back raw.

looked at An Xin aggrievedly, "...... gentleman, are you the devil?"

An Xin did not change his color and ate half a pancake and a bowl of porridge.

Brown rice with a throat, plus a porridge made of green vegetables without even a little oil and salt.

The taste of it, whoever eats it knows.

An Xin was very bitter in his heart.

Wouldn't she want to eat white flour cakes, served with fried oil, smooth and bright golden eggs?

But I am an adult anyway, and I really can't bear to know that those young children may not even be able to share a white flour cake.

And they ate the eggs that the family was going to exchange money for as a matter of course.

Although she is not a good person, An Xin really can't do such a thing.

When Kong Xun and Wei Chiyi learned that several women and children of the Zheng family didn't even get the cakes and vegetables they didn't like, they ate the vegetable porridge they hated.

They all drank the porridge in the bowl silently.

Only then did they know that ordinary people lived such a life.

Perhaps only during the New Year's Festival and the period when the grain is harvested can I eat a few full meals.

Most of the time, even if there is food at home, people will still save it for a long time.

After dinner, An Xin and Old Village Chief Zheng sat under a big tree in the courtyard to enjoy the shade.

He casually asked, "Old Village Chief, I heard from one of those people that there was a leader in the past, what happened to the bandits in Qingyun Mountain?"

The old village chief took a puff of his hookah and tapped the cigarette stick before answering her question.

"Qingyun Mountain is not very far from us, about less than a hundred miles away, where the mountains are undulating, and the forests and seas are reckless.

In the mountains and forests, there is a group of bandits living all the year round, who kill people and steal goods, fight and rob houses, do evil, and do all kinds of evil.

A few years ago, when the Tang County Commander was there, he was an upright official, and if that group of bandits did too rampant, he would join forces with the county's inspection battalion to attack it.

Even if you can't attack, it can serve as a warning.

Every time such a group of bandits will restrain a lot, and they will not dare to easily go down the mountain to harass us people.

But since Tang Zhixian was promoted to Fucheng as a Tongzhi a year ago, and this Fan County Commander was transferred, I heard that the group of bandits in Qingyun Mountain has become more and more arrogant.

Now it is not only blatant to rob past merchants, but also sometimes harass the people of nearby villages.

Even the women of good families who snatched up the mountain to chop firewood or pick wild vegetables have happened a few times in the past year or so."

"This is too arrogant," Wei Chiyi and the others, accompanied by the Zheng family brothers, came out of the house and listened to what the old village chief said, and said angrily, "Don't you care about this Fan County Order."

"Alas!" Boss Zheng shook his head and sighed, "If he were a Qingming parental official, our people here would have been bullied like this by the big landlords.

How could he turn a deaf ear and arrest the person who went to complain and put him in prison?"

Wei Chiyi was silent.

This was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it.

How can he be delusional about a county official who doesn't even care about the people's fields being forcibly occupied. can also be smart and wise, and lead people to suppress bandits resolutely, it seems that he is still too naïve.

A few children who were originally playing in the yard were also taken back by their mothers to take a bath and sleep.

For a moment no one spoke again.

Kong Xun looked up at a bright moon hanging in the sky, and the silver glow sprinkled all over the fence courtyard.

On this day, whether it is helpless to earn travel fees to work in the fields, stepping into the muddy muddy fields with both feet, and bending over to plant rice seedlings under the scorching sun.

Occasionally, there is a mollusk called a leech, which is attached to its white calves

on the bloodsucking, making them miserable.

I still worked for half a day, not only did I not get paid, but I also had to pay for my meal.

Until now, I have seen with my own eyes that the squire landlord who dominates one side can collude with the local government to buy the land that originally belonged to the people into his own hands.

Recruit the people to work for themselves at a very low price, become their tenants in disguise, and truly become the emperor of the land who dominates one side.

This refreshed, and he was raised to be a good old man Kong Xun's three views since he was a child.

There are also the bandits of Qingyun Mountain who the old village chief said, not only killing people and goods, but also robbing women from good families to go up the mountain and ravage them.

This made him, who has always been kind, truly aware of the evil in human nature.

Kong Xun's eyes looking at the sky became more and more fierce, and the aura on his body became more and more cold.

What happened in so many days made him understand that not all kindness and warmth can be treated gently.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy has a long body, looking up at the moon, which makes people feel like they are looking at the world. There is a faint sense of royal dignity and elegance on the body, which is a kind of majesty that other noble sons do not have.

An Xin smiled lightly at the corner of his lips, feeling the change in the aura on Kong Xun's body, thinking that this kid has a very high understanding.

This kind of life experience is where to go, and his spirit has changed from the original temperament as warm as jade to a cold and wise, elegant and calm demeanor.

is still a true sentence, a person with royal blood in his body.

It's just that I can't break free from being bound all the time.

But the dragon is always not a thing in the pool, and it is a dragon that changes when it encounters wind and clouds.

Now Kong Xun has broken free from the shackles of Taifu's Mansion, and there is another person who has sent her to travel and see the world in all its forms.

This son is not stupid, otherwise how could he be admitted to the second place in the college examination with his extraordinary talent when no one really treats him, ranking second only to Li Ziyu who taught him.

Li Ziyu has been taught by a teacher comparable to Confucianism, and it is not surprising that she has such a deep and broad knowledge.

And this is just a gentleman who was casually invited into the house by Mrs. Kong to study, and he can be like that in the exam, which shows how smart he is.

It makes sense that he realized it so quickly.

An Xin turned his head to look at his four cheap disciples, and saw that Jiang Chenxi and Wei Chiyi were also bowing their heads and pondering, and he was also very relieved in his heart.

At least two out of four have some understanding of what happened during this time.

This will help them grow up in their original immature hearts, and it is not in vain that she connived at Xiao Ling, who was called a charming girl, and stole all the silver taels and belongings from them.

This includes accessories and good clothes worth some money.

Fortunately, except for Wei Chiyi, who was disgusted by Xiaoling and An Xin was unhappy and did not notify her, several other people still trusted her more.

handed over most of the silver tickets on his body to himself, which saved Kong Xun and Jiang Chenxi, Gao Tai and Chen Qibao's tickets from being stolen.

Looking at Gao Tai and Chen Qibao, who were chatting with the Zheng brothers, An Xin sighed, he wanted to teach these boys. There is still a long way to go!

Finally, before everyone left to wash and go to bed, the old village chief Zheng stopped An Xin and whispered to her about the past of the big landlord's family.

This surprised An Xin at the same time, but also indirectly confirmed his previous thoughts.
