In the three years of Qianning in Great Qi, there was a great drought in the world.

There is no rain in the twelve states in the north for half a year, the rivers are dry, there is famine everywhere, and people cannibalize each other.

The people are struggling to make a living, and the rebels are everywhere.

……

The sun is scorching and cloudless.

East of Heyang County, on the bank of Huaishui.

Hundreds of shirtless men, most of them rickety, ribs clearly visible, were digging into the river, but they still had to do coolies in the hot weather.

Lu Heng pushed a cart of earth and rocks and staggered along, he was already fifteen years old, he looked very thin, as fragile as weeds in the wind, and it seemed that he could fall to the ground at any time.

Apparently exhausted, he was close to collapse and had been malnourished for a long time.

Heavy labor such as digging rivers and pushing earth and rocks was very reluctant for him, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

After all, this forced labor was forcibly requisitioned by the government, and ordinary people had no room for resistance at all.

"On such a day, when is it the end, I don't know what happened to my mother and sister......" Lu Heng sighed in his heart, and was mixed with a stone without paying attention, fell to the ground, and the car of earth and stones was also sprinkled.

He was already frail, but now he worked as a coolie day after day, and his rations were still deducted, and he couldn't eat enough every day, and now he suddenly fell, and suddenly he felt like the world was spinning, and he almost passed out.

But at this time......

Syllable!

I only heard a sound of breaking the air, and a whip was whipped Lu Heng's back.

"Ahh

Lu Heng immediately raised his head and screamed, his body suddenly tensed, a hot and sharp pain came from his back, and the whole person trembled involuntarily.

"Little thing, want to be lazy?" An official in official uniform held a whip in his hand, looked down at Lu Heng on the ground with disdain, and snorted coldly, "Don't bulldoze the soil at all, let's dig the river with others!" ”

Digging a river is much harder and more tiring than bulldozing, and with Lu Heng's physique, he will definitely be exhausted to death.

"I ......" Lu Heng endured the severe pain and tried to justify.

But when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't make a sound, the whole person was extremely weak, and his vision became more and more blurred, only to feel a sharp pain in his heart, and then he fell into endless darkness, and was no longer conscious.

"Bad master, bad master, I can't help it, I can't help it."

At this time, a sturdy middle-aged man trotted over and supported Lu Heng, who was about to fall to the ground, and at the same time smiled all over his face, nodded his head, and saluted the official with great humility.

"Poor master, my little brother has been weak since he was a child, and you let him dig the river, doesn't this kill him? You've got a lot of it, hehe......"

As he spoke, he quietly stuffed the two steamed cakes into the official's hand, and said in a low voice, "Poor master, these are all small ones that I have saved with great difficulty, and I will give you a tooth sacrifice." ”

"Oh?" The official narrowed his eyes, gently pinched the two steamed cakes, then accepted them, and nodded slightly, "Okay, take care of this little thing next, don't let him make mistakes again." ”

After that, he took the two steamed cakes and left, his steps were very fast, as if he couldn't wait.

Steamed cakes are only the rations of digging the river and hard labor, and it is also a rare good thing for the low-level officials.

The middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to comfort Lu Heng for a few words, but found that the young man who was being supported by himself was already stiff, his eyes were closed, and he was out of breath, and he was suddenly shocked.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, are you okay?" The middle-aged man shook Lu Heng gently, and he had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and he also felt desolate.

When serving in conscription, it is all too common for people to die of exhaustion, not to mention that they can't eat enough every day.

This has happened every three or four days since the canal was started.

But why is it always the people around you?

A few days ago, he was the big brother who took care of himself for a long time, but this time he is the little brother who has a good relationship with him?

At this time, Lu Heng, who had just seemed to be dead, suddenly moved, his breathing returned to normal, and his eyes slowly opened, but his eyes flickered a little, and he seemed to be very flustered.

He swallowed his saliva, as if to calm down, then took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and reluctantly said, "Brother Liu, I'm fine." ”

"You, you're not, no, Brother Lu, you ...... just now" Liu Si's eyes widened when he saw this, and then he laughed again and patted Lu Heng's shoulder gently, "Oh, Brother Lu, you're scared me to death, haha!" ”

As he spoke, he quietly took out a piece of steamed cake from his arms, stuffed it directly into Lu Heng's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Nourish your body, eat it when no one is around, don't let people see it." ”

Without waiting for Lu Heng to respond, Liu Si hurried to the edge of the river, grabbed it and continued to do hard labor.

"......" Lu Heng looked at Liu Si's back and was silent, then looked at the busy laborers around him, as well as the overseer pergola on the high platform in the distance, and finally looked down at his hands full of calluses and wounds, and felt extremely unbelievable in his heart.

"What the hell did I cross?!"

……

Night.

After a day's work, the laborers slept on the edge of the canal, covered only by simple straw huts.

However, in order to prevent the laborers from making trouble with each other, the huts were far apart from each other, and the laborers were not allowed to communicate with each other.

Lu Heng secretly finished eating the steamed cakes given by Liu Si and lay in a grass shed, snoring like thunder next to him, but he couldn't sleep at all, looking at the roof of the grass shed, his eyes were empty, and he was stunned.

"Why did you cross over?"

Half a day ago, he was still living a fairy life of eating, sleeping and playing games every day on Earth, planning to find the love sister he met in "Against the Cold" next week, and even booked air tickets and hotels, and specially prepared a small umbrella.

How else is this going?

"Fortunately, I am an orphan, otherwise how sad would my parents be?" Lu Heng closed his eyes and pressed his temples, and began to think about his current situation, "My name is still Lu Heng now, tsk, I am also an orphan, but I have adoptive parents."

"My adoptive father was forcibly conscripted by the Zhaoyang Army Festival Envoy half a year ago to be a civil husband, and he went to fight against the rebellious Connecticut assassin history, and his life and death are still uncertain. Now there are only adoptive mother and sister-in-law in the family besides me, living in poverty, and the price of food has skyrocketed recently.

"Now I have been conscripted again, and I have to bring my own dry food to build the canals, which makes my family even worse. The government nominally said that it would take care of one ration every day, but in fact, it would only take three or four days to distribute a piece of steamed cake, which was not enough to eat at all, and the predecessor died suddenly because of tiredness and hunger...... What a hellish start, what is this?

"Why don't you give a golden finger, drop it, ding? If you're still loading, at least give me a warning...... Why, it can't really be none, right? Bai gave so many system texts to the starting point to reward the alliance leader! ”

Of course, complaining and complaining, he is still trying to think about his next way out.

It is certainly not okay to continue to do hard labor here.

With this small body, it is estimated that I will be tired to death in a few days.

You can't run away.

On the way out of the canal, there were more than 100 county swordsmen guarding it, and anyone who dared to escape would be hacked to death on the spot.

However, even if they did escape, it seemed to be useless.

Ordinary people could not leave their hometowns without a road guide issued by the government, let alone conscripted labor.

If they are caught by officers and soldiers, they will be directly imprisoned, tortured with a cane, and will have to shed their skin if they do not die.

"In these years, those who can freely leave their hometowns and walk the world are not only the scholars who are famous and famous, but also the disciples of the martial arts sect recognized by the imperial court, as well as those monks who hold the degree of Taoism...... In my current situation, I can't get these credentials. ”

The more Lu Heng thought about it, the more helpless he became, only to feel that there was a dead end everywhere.

If there was no golden finger, it would be impossible for him to get out of his current predicament, and he could only continue to do hard labor until he died of exhaustion and starvation.

It's outrageous!

At this moment, he suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and a translucent light curtain appeared on it, and there were two text prompts on it.

【Congratulations!】 The AFK game of Xiuxian has been opened. 】

[Moderate games are good for the brain, and addiction to games hurts the body. Turn on the automatic hang-up and enjoy a better life. 】

"it?!"

Lu Hengteng sat up at once, almost exclaimed, and was ecstatic in his heart, "Goldfinger, there is really a goldfinger!" ”

He was full of excitement, forced himself to keep silent, and quickly lay down again, so as not to be discovered by his anomaly, and then began to study the effect of this golden finger.

At this point, the two text prompts have disappeared, and a blurry image of pixels is displayed in the light curtain.

In the center is a large river running through the upper and lower levels, and the edges on both sides are a pattern of mountains, and the area between the river and the mountains is a pattern of woods, meadows, lakes, and castles.

Lu Heng noticed that there was only one figure in this picture, and that was a pixel figure standing by the river, with a rank displayed above his head.

[Level 0 (0/100)]

There was also a small sword around the villain that kept circling around him.

"What does this game mean?" He frowned slightly, and found that he couldn't do anything with this villain, and it seemed that he could only look at the hang-up like this, and he was very puzzled.

Crash!

At this time, the big river in the game suddenly set off a splash, and a monster with a human body and a fish head rushed out and rushed towards the villain.

Then, he hit his head on the small sword that circled around the villain, and was cut in two on the spot, turning into a white light and disappearing.

Immediately after, a prompt appeared on the light curtain.

[Kill the "Mertabhead.] +1 XP, +1 Fish】

[Collect new monsters +1, reward spell "Rain Spell"]

[Rain Summoning Spell: A low-level spell that can be cast on the first floor during the Qi refining period. It can attract a dark cloud covering a radius of one foot to rain, and the more mana is applied, the wider the coverage of the dark cloud, and the greater the rain. 】

[Wind Spell: A low-level spell that can be cast on the first floor of the Qi refining period. It can summon a storm that covers a radius of one kilometer, and the more mana is applied, the wider the storm's coverage and the stronger the wind. 】

Spell?!

Qi refining period?!

Calling for rain and wind?!

Lu Heng's eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing suddenly became heavy.

He found that he only had to use his mind to bring the fish and spell cheats he had just obtained to reality.

This means that as long as you get the immortal cultivation method in the game, you can cultivate immortals yourself!
