Chapter 1 Angry and cold
Youzhou, the ancient swallow land, one of the nine states in the world, is the territory of the northeast of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Dongping County, one of the sixteen counties of Youzhou, is located in the northwest of Yandi, and has been a bitter cold place in the border since ancient times.
At present, the festival of March is the time when spring is full of spring and plants are sprouting, and the weather in Dongping County was once very pleasant. However, after a few rains, it was warm and cold.
Fang Xing walked out of the tent house, and a cold wind hit his face, and the chill spread to his limbs.
"It's so cold!"
Shaking his head vigorously, Fang Xing only felt cold all over, but there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart. At the moment when he stepped out of the door just now, he was even thinking: If the Dao Heavenly Thunder splits this, then it will be happy!
Just now, in this account room, no matter how much he talked about it, even if he lost his temper with the young master, he couldn't get a penny from the bookkeeper.
"That's the money I paid for my mother's medicine! Where do these bastards come from! Thinking of this, the anger in Fang Xing's heart increased a little more.
Today in the city, he accidentally lost the medicine money he was carrying in his arms. That's the only six dollars left in the family! Fang Xing was about to use it to go to the pharmacy in the county town to buy some medicinal herbs for his sick mother, but he didn't want to lose it in a daze.
Six times money, six times a lot!
In these years, six yuan is not a small amount for ordinary people! At present, the price of goods is only five or six acres of high-quality fertile land.
Nearly an acre of good land was lost in one fell swoop, which made Fang Xing anxious. He buried his head in the search for a long time, but he couldn't find half of the money back.
In desperation, he wanted to borrow some money from the account. Unexpectedly, the bookkeeper in charge of the accounts actually said: "It's not in accordance with the rules." "I have to tell the lord on the next day before I can release the account. β
"Bastard!"
"Do you need to report to the Lord? Bastard talk! Who doesn't know that the big house and the second room can spend 20 yuan from you at will. I won't borrow six dollars? β
"Bastard! Darn! Bastard thing! β
Fang Xing, who was standing at the door of the account room at this moment, was ashamed and ashamed, and his heart was even more resentful.
Last month alone, the fourth sister of the Dafang family was vindictive with the second lady of the Liu family in the same county, and spent 80 yuan to buy a 100-feather Huangluo silver mud skirt, of which more than 60 yuan was temporarily paid from the account room.
At that time, before the fourth sister could speak, the old man who was in charge of the accounts hurriedly took the silver and sent it to the fourth sister in person.
"Why do you have this rule when it's my turn? Besides, I'm still asking for money to buy medicine to cure the disease! β
"How dare the old man deceive me!"
Thinking of this, Fang Xing couldn't wait to rush back into the account room again, smash that arrogant fat face with one punch, and scrape a thousand more knives to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Fang Xing was gifted and intelligent, he began to read and write at the age of four, and was able to resign at the age of eight. With his intelligence, how could he not know in his heart that these subordinates in the family compound were talking about "family law" and "rules", but in fact, they didn't take him seriously at all! These evil slaves and servants are dogs who look down on people and look down on Fang Xing, the grandson of the Fang family who has the surname of the Fang family but has no name!
Looking around, seeing that the people around him were all idlers who were attracted by the noisy movement before, Fang Xing felt a wave of shame and anger in his heart.
Although the Fang family is a foreign family that moved north, it has been rooted in Dongping County for more than 30 years. After two generations of hard work, there are also thin assets up and down. The huge mansion of the Fang family covers an area of nearly 100 acres, of which the account room, as an important place for the family, is also exquisite.
The Fang family's account room is divided into an inner account room and an outer account room; The account room is the important place of the Fang family, a single-door courtyard independent in the inner circle of the house, in which there are years of contracts and large and small accounts, ordinary people can never enter; And the external account room is where Fang Xing is now, and it is much more ordinary in terms of status and closeness.
Located in the outer circle of the mansion, the external account room manages the monthly scattered expenses of the entire family, and all trivial expenses are remitted here, and there are many complicated people who can come. And Fang Xing, the grandson of the Fang family, is in the compound, and the embarrassing position of Fang Xing's grandson is something that the Fang family knows inside and out, up and down.
Today, as the protagonist, he personally staged such a good show in the account room, which made these servants who were happy to tell the truth and tell the truth very excited! Some of these people outside the house stretched their necks, their eyes flashed with the look of watching a good show, and they crowded around the courtyard gate to watch the excitement; Some of them had mocking expressions on the corners of their mouths, and they sneered at the courtyard wall with their hands on their chests; Some of them had irrepressible excitement on their faces, and they exchanged their heads and ears in twos and threes, talking like foaming at the mouth, and all kinds of insults and insults reached Fang Xing's ears.
"You bastards!"
Fang Xing trembled angrily, his hands were clenched, and his nails were about to sink into the flesh of his palms, and he was extremely ashamed and angry! Fang Xing was ashamed that he was too stupid, he lost the money in a daze, and even more stupidly went to the account office to borrow money, making the family a monkey in vain; The second anger was that he was so blind and unangry, knowing that these Fang family servants didn't take him seriously at all, but they still tried in vain to put the young master's score to pressure them, and made a disturbance, attracting a group of slaves and maids to see his jokes.
After gritting his teeth and hating for a long time, Fang Xing finally took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
At this point, it is useless to think too much. He had always been a smart and rational man, and as soon as he regained his composure, the general pulse of the whole thing was straightened out by him.
"I really messed up and lost my sense of proportion just now, and I was laughed at by these splashes! I don't need to entangle with these scoundrels at all, it's a big deal to lose some face tomorrow by scolding and scolding, and directly talk to the elders in the family, and they won't sit idly by! It's better to get out of here early, these helpers in the compound are the most broken-mouthed, today is enough shame, there is no need to be ridiculed here! β
After thinking about it in his heart, Fang Xing stopped his anger and looked coldly at the crowd of people around him.
"It's all a bunch of bastard stuff!" He cursed in his heart.
For these people, Fang Xing has to take care of his identity after all, and it is inconvenient to meet these people in general. At the moment, he just kept a straight face and shouted in a hard voice: "What do you see? It's all scattered for me! β
Fang Xing tried his best to keep his face black and maintain the majesty of his master, but in the eyes of these old fritters, there was no deterrent power. Although there was a raging anger hidden in Fang Xing's eyes, making these people dare not look at him, no one heard Fang Xing's anger and left obediently. These people just exchanged heads and ears nonchalantly, shaking their bodies casually, and moving slowly.
This was obviously absent-minded, and it was like the behavior of a group of old turtles paddling water, but it was particularly dazzling in Fang Xing's eyes.
It is like a sick tiger that is injured and spit on by a pack of dogs.
It's a great shame!
Fang Xing was furious, and was about to open his mouth angrily.
At this time, a neutral male voice came from outside the hospital, "What are you doing here?" Didn't you hear Young Master Xing speak? Fuck off! β
Before the words fell, the courtyard was already crowded, just a few moments of Fang Xing frowning and raising his eyes, the group of barking earth dogs just now disappeared, as if with the sound of 'boom', the crowd scattered and disappeared.
The sunlight on his head was a little dazzling, and Fang Xing was a little surprised in his heart, so he squinted his eyes and looked at the other party.
I saw that the person who came had a pair of thick eyebrows, big eyes, a wide face, and was not tall, but he had a strong physique, and he had a strong spirit
"It turned out to be him!"
The figure of the man who spoke came into view, and Fang Xing's heart sank downwardβ"Fang Wu! β
At this moment, Fang Xing was no longer happy because of the other party's words and help, but felt gloomy in his heart, "This time I was seen as a joke by this person again!" β
This person Fang Xing naturally recognizes.
This person is one of the famous thirteen guard commanders of the East Square Family, and it is said that his cultivation has reached the fourth of the three days, and he is already a martial artist in the Qi Dantian. Fang Xing had seen him practice martial arts in public, and with just one punch, he smashed a bluestone rock the size of a calf, which was a very powerful character. Fang Wu's popularity among the public nursing homes was very high, and many people were convinced by this master who had been promoted step by step from below. Therefore, as soon as he spoke, the slaves who had been slippery in the past scattered faster than rabbits.
Fang Xing knew that this guy was fine, and there were many discords between them, and he was somewhat afraid of him in his actions.
"It turned out to be the five guards, and I was tired."
Fang Xing was quite arrogant, and he had a lot of disagreements with Fang Wu, so he just said hello to the other party lightly at the moment, which could be regarded as his gratitude to Fang Wu for breaking the siege just now.
"Don't dare." Fang Wu was born with two thick lips, and any polite words popped out of his mouth, as if they were squeezed out of two boulders, which made people's hearts panic.
Fang Xing's brows were tightly locked, although Fang Wu's words were polite, the contemptuous look that came out of his body made Fang Xing extremely unhappy. And Fang Wu didn't care about Fang Xing's cold attitude, he stepped in front of Fang Xing in a few steps, looked at Fang Xing's demeanor a little, and said to Fang Xing in a deep voice: "Young Master Xing should also pay attention to some proportions, the account room is not a place to wait for leisure after all." is the identity of Young Master Xing, and it is a violation of the rules to make a big noise here, and I hope that Young Master Xing will be careful next time. β
Fang Xing knew that when he met Fang Wu, there would be nothing good, but he didn't expect this guy to teach him a lesson in front of everyone.
"Now even a dirt dog dares to humiliate me?"
Immediately, new hatred and old hatred were mixed with grievances, and they surged into Fang Xing's heart together.
"Proportion?"
"When did I not overdo it?"
"In the county seat, you Fang Wu instructed that little guy to talk nonsense and refute my face - I endured it. At home, the old man in the accounting room said a few words to meβand I put up with it. It's good now, you have the audacity to accuse me of not paying attention to proportion! My little duty has been eaten by bastards like you? β
The thousands of grievances in Fang Xing's heart converged into a surging tide, washing over and over his psychological defense. Obviously, these bastards who look down on people are duplicitous, despising and bullying him. How did he become incomprehensible when he got to Fang Wu's mouth?
There was fire in his heart, Fang Xing's narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed more and more, and he said with a little sarcasm: "My affairs, there is no need for the five guards to worry about it. However, there are so many pack horses outside the village who eat food and grass, which is the serious business of the five guards. Our family will hand over this burden to the five guards, and the five guards still have to be more loyal to the family! I have an article to read, so I'll leave it at that. β
Fang Wu is not surnamed Fang, he is a servant of the Fang family. Now although he has taken off his slave status, Qingyun has become a side branch of the Fang family, and his surname has also been changed to Fang, but after all, his background is unbearable and he is criticized. And Fang Xing knew the details of Fang Wu, and knew that he usually hated others mentioning his roots and origins.
Sure enough, Fang Wu was furious when he heard this, and his momentum changed, as if a fierce beast had suddenly woken up, and his eyes were blazing and glaring at Fang Xing. And Fang Xing's eyes were flickering, he didn't make any eye contact with him, he just put on an indifferent look, and walked past him with small brisk steps.
Fang Wu was depressed for a while, Fang Xing had the blood of the Fang family after all, although Fang Wu was quite powerful, he still didn't dare to make a move with him, he could only secretly use some means to make Fang Xing suffer a dumb loss. So although the five under his eyes were angry, he could only scold in his heart: "What a little mouth and cunning thing!" β
In the blink of an eye, Fang Xing went far. I was about to leave the yard. Fang Wumeng's eyebrows twitched, and the bit of ink in his stomach turned sharply, and he actually caught Fang Xing's sore spot.
"Young Master Xing, don't go! I still have an old ginseng here, you take it, and then take some medicinal herbs on credit, maybe you can really move the fetus, learn the mastery passed down by the family, and make a future in the future. β
"You!" Although he had been mentally prepared for this kind of battle of words, the deepest scar in his heart was so nakedly exposed, how could Fang Xing still be able to calm down?
If you can't refine your qi and practice, you can't inherit the inheritance of the Fang family, which is the biggest hatred in Fang Xing's heart, who claims to be the 'son of the Fang family'.
For a moment, Fang Xing's pent-up anger erupted like a volcano, and he turned his head and glared at Fang Wu fiercely. There was an uncontrollable anger flashing in his eyes, as if he was spewing fire outside, his teeth were gritted even more, and his whole face was suffocated by the blood gushing up.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a bit of reason in his heart to pull him, Fang Xing would have pounced on him and tore that stinky mouth.
Fang Wu on the other side saw his appearance, not only did he not restrain the provocative expression on his face, but because of Fang Xing's anger, he intensified his extremely useful expression, and he also used the corner of his eye to oblique Xing, as if to say-"Lao Tzu is a dignified martial artist, what can you do to me as a mortal who has never had a true qi movement?" β
"Hmph, what can you do to me?" Fang Wu was very disdainful in his heart. Fang Xing's momentary courage was just a joke in his eyes.
In Fang Wu's opinion, today, it is the world of a cultivator like him who swallows clouds and spits out fog and refines qi, and a weak scholar like Fang Xing, who is powerless and will fall down when the wind blows, should have sat at home and become a literary peddler, low-key obedience should be his true nature!
However, Fang Xing didn't know the current affairs, didn't know the depths, and thought that he had the bloodline of the Fang family, so he often came up, and he was also disrespectful to other Qi refining cultivators, which made Siye very unhappy, and he deserved to be taught a lesson or two by himself.
Fang Xing couldn't remember how he suppressed his anger, he only felt that his blood was boiling, and then it was as if reason had suddenly prevailed again.
He knew that Fang Wu was a martial artist who had learned the family's secret mastery of the Supreme Secret of Autumn Water Falling Xia. The status of this kind of Qi refining cultivator is extremely high, and when he gets the invitation of the current imperial court, he will be directly canonized as a seventh-grade official, but what about him and Fang Xing? However, a mortal who can't refine qi is still quite embarrassed in the family. Between him and Fang Wu, there was a huge gap between a martial artist and a mortalβa huge gap like an abyssal chasm!
The thoughts in his heart tossed and turned a few times, and Fang Xing could feel that his anger seemed to be a rope that was stretched too tightly, and as a result, it subsided. Although he still felt that there was still hot blood on his cheeks, and there were still strings of ants surging in the green tendons under his skin, he was really calm at the moment.
He just stood there like a lone pine, and he didn't look at Fang Wu, but just said to the air with a cold expression: "You Diao slave, you are also very talkative, okay...... Get...... Very ......"
The last three words, word by word, seemed to be squeezed out of between the teeth, overflowing with anger that could not be hidden.
The most embarrassed master is still the master after all, and in the face of the aggressiveness of the warrior, all he can do for a while is this reserved that belongs to the master's family.
"You slave and maid have told me, and I will not quarrel with you."
"Hmph, we'll know later!"
Fang Xing snorted coldly and dropped a sentence. He no longer paid attention to Fang Wu, who was angered by his words, and waved his sleeves resolutely, as if he wanted to put aside all those harsh gossip, and walked out of the courtyard gate, leaving this small courtyard that could no longer be tolerated, and walking towards the Fang family's courtyard.
At this moment, the spring breeze is steep, the cold is everywhere, and it is the time to freeze and kill the youth.
