Chapter 380: The Living Buddha
The sky is gray, and the moon and stars are scarce.
After a day's work, those people were already exhausted, and they lay naked on top of the bunk, snoring from their mouths, and the "boom" was the same as thunder. They were so tired that they just wanted a good rest.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the "bang, bang, bang" was particularly heavy.
With a "bang", the door was violently pushed open.
Bo Duhuan stepped into it with a group of cavalry and shouted at everyone: "You guys, get up for me." However, all that answered him was the sound of snoring that resounded through the clouds.
Seeing that everyone had no reaction, Bo Duhuan's cheeks were red, his hands clenched the saber at his waist, and the whole person was trembling, and he couldn't help cursing: "Damn Guo Shoujing, he must be too merciful to let these people slack off like this, even I ignore it." But he didn't think about it, how could he get up at this time before dawn and everyone was exhausted.
"Come on, wake them up for me. ”
With a wave of his hand, Bo Duhuan immediately let the cavalry behind him walk into it, and raised the whip in his hand to wave it.
"Smack!"
The crisp whip sounded, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on the white and tender skin.
The man was in pain, and immediately woke up from his sleep, rubbed his hazy eyes, and scolded at the cavalryman: "Who are you, why do you suddenly hit someone?" In confusion, he only saw the person in front of him holding a whip, but he didn't notice the clothes the other party was wearing.
"Hmph. It's you lazy people who fight. ”
The cavalry waved his whip at the awakened man.
"Smack-smack!"
After a few lashes, the man screamed and screamed, and the terrible sound woke the rest of the people, and they all sat up from their beds to see what had happened. Seeing the cavalry appear here, they were surprised and hurriedly asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?"
But in response to them was an even sharper whip.
"Get up all of you for me, and you must not delay any longer. ”
Under the threat of the whip, everyone had to get up, their faces full of anger, but when they saw Nabo Duhuan, their legs immediately trembled.
"Yes, it's Bo Duhuan?"
They are no strangers to Daru Huachi in the Daimyo Mansion, and they often hear of his evil deeds, but because of Guo Shoujing's protection in the past, they avoided being poisoned by this person.
But today, how did this guy end up here?
Full of doubts and fear, the crowd was forced to stand in a row under the reprimand of the soldiers.
"Hmph. In the past, it was Guo Shoujing who was too kind, which allowed you guys to be lazy until now. But now, since I'm here, you can't continue to be lazy, you have to dredge the river for me as soon as possible, understand?"
Standing in front of everyone, Daru Huachi scolded everyone like a soldier who reprimanded him.
"But it is not yet dawn, and the brothers are exhausted, how can they work?"
When even someone stood up, he collided with Bo Du Huan. However, what greeted him was not words, but a "crackling" beating. Those cavalrymen were quite ruthless, and in just a few strokes, the skin of the man was opened, and there was only breath out, not breath in.
Pointing to the man lying on the ground, Bo Duhuan scolded: "See? This is what happens when you collide with me." ”
When everyone saw this, they were all terrified, for fear that they would become the next target, so they could only leave the house under the threat of Bo Duhuan, came to the river, and were forced to do the heavy work. And if they don't do a good job, they will summon the overseer and beat him directly.
This approach naturally aroused everyone's complaints, and they immediately found Wang Li and others, directly surrounded them, and asked in an unkind tone.
"Your Excellency, you have also seen the torture of Naboduhuan. If we continue like this, we'll all be killed. If we are killed, there will be no one to dredge the canal. ”
"Alas. I know what you're talking about. It's just that I'm not looking for a way?" Wang Li said helplessly.
Since Bo Duhuan intervened in this matter, the dredging of the canal has indeed been much faster, but it is a pity that the people who dredged the canal are even more tired, and not long ago a person was beaten and vomited blood, and before Jinglian arrived, he died directly.
"Tell me, what can you do?" the men refused to give up, and asked again.
Wang Li was stunned, so he had to reply: "This, please rest assured, I will naturally find a way." ”
"The way? Every time I look for you, you say that, but what about the way? In my opinion, you are just perfunctory to us. ”
However, those people felt displeased, and scolded Wang Li, they didn't look for Wang Li before, but unfortunately they were dismissed in a similar way, and now seeing Wang Li's old tricks repeatedly, how can he accept it, so he naturally scolded directly.
"In this way, we really can't hold it anymore. ”
"Didn't everything work well before? Why did it suddenly change?"
"If you can't do it, you might as well let Governor Guo come out. ”
“......”
Seeing everyone's angry faces, Wang Li had no choice but to tell the truth: "Don't hide it, Governor Guo's mansion is him, he has already sent a minister." ”
"What?"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
"Governor Guo, why did he become a scholar? I really don't understand. ”
"No wonder it's like this, it turns out that Governor Guo left him?"
"If so, what should we do?"
Hearing the news, everyone was shocked, in the past, they followed behind Guo Shoujing, and they were also serious in their work, of course, Guo Shoujing had never treated them badly, and the food and drinking water they should have were all prepared.
However, after Bo Duhuan came to power, the food was mixed with sand, and drinking water was also in short supply from time to time, so people didn't have a place to take a bath.
It was because they couldn't bear it anymore that they had the courage to find Wang Li, wanting to know what was going on.
"Alas!"
Wang Li's eyes were gloomy, and he lowered his head and bowed to everyone: "Everyone, I'm really sorry. I can't help it?"
He never thought that he would become like this now, and he didn't seem to have any other way than to apologize to everyone.
"Fuck, can't you just wait to die?"
Seeing Wang Lidu like this, everyone felt as if they were being roasted in an iron pot, their bodies were full of fire, and although there was a lot of anger in their chests, they seemed to have been stuffed into a pressure cooker, and they had no way to vent, so they could only squeeze the hoe and shovel in their hands tightly.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
In the distance, there were also prison guards who noticed the movement in this place and immediately walked towards this side.
When he saw the crowd gathered around, he immediately took off the gun he was carrying behind his back, and walked towards everyone with the gun in his hand, and his eyes were also full of hostility. After all, there are a lot of people on the other side, and if you really start a fight, you may not be able to save your life.
"This bastard. ”
Glancing at the gun, everyone gritted their teeth, but they could only stand where they were, allowing the man to walk in front of everyone.
"Don't make a noise here, why don't you hurry up and get to work?"
As he spoke, the man raised the muzzle of his gun slightly and pointed it at the group.
Wang Li saw it in his eyes and hurriedly walked up: "They are not too tired, so they just rest a little." ”
"Just rest?" said the man.
Wang Li stepped forward, ignoring the threat of the muzzle, he held it in his arms, and then said, "That's right. Or what do you think?" and then glanced sideways at everyone and said, "Hey, you can't be so slack off and start working when it's time to work, understand?"
"I'll understand. ”
The crowd replied, their voices a little sparse, and then they stood up and walked towards the canal, after all, the overseer was still watching, and they could not relax there, lest they be targeted by the man.
Just like Wang Li, there are still very few prison guards who are willing to communicate with them, and more of them rely purely on force and threats to reprimand them, and there is no meaning of enthusiasm and respect at all.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.
"Hey, come on, someone fainted again. ”
Wang Li looked up and saw another person slumped to the ground in the middle of the river, and two workers were standing beside him, and the workers were shouting to the people around him.
Seeing the movement of these three people, the rest of the people slowed down and were about to step forward, but their eyes skimmed over Jianjun, who was watching not far away, so they had to give up their movements and continue their movements.
Seeing that everyone was indifferent, the two of them were nervous and asked, "Hey, is there anyone to help, even if you help call Master Jinglian." But they were silent and did not respond to his plea.
Wang Li looked distressed, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by the prison army next to him, and complained: "Don't forget, it's not your jurisdiction. Don't meddle. ”
"But the man fainted. Wang Li replied, and as he spoke, he was about to rush out.
The overseer said: "So what? Don't forget what Bo Duhuan said, if you let the project slack off, he won't be able to spare you." ”
Hearing the name of "Bo Du Huan", Wang Li was shocked, and the steps that he originally planned to go out were also retracted. Nabo Duhuan is cruel, if he knows that he is meddling in other things, he is afraid that he will be directly reprimanded, or even directly cut down.
"Hey!"
Just as the two of them said, an overseer sprang out from the side, and the overseer shouted at the two men, "Who allowed you to rest? Why don't you hurry up and work?"
"But my lord, this brother of mine, he has a heat stroke. Can you take a break?" the two men argued.
"It's just heat stroke, what is it?" The overseer scolded sharply: "But you two dare to leave your post without permission? See if I don't give you a good look?"
The whip fell on the two men, causing them to cry bitterly, but they kept clutching the clothes of the people on the ground.
"Yoh, you dare to resist?"
Seeing that the two were indifferent, the prison guard was even more annoyed, and continued to wave his whip and whip the two of them.
"Stop!"
At this moment, accompanied by a solemn voice, Jinglian slowly stepped into it.
Seeing the Pure Lotus come out, the overseer's body trembled, and he asked in a low voice, "Master, why are you here?" Compared to those people, these overseers have a lot more respect for the Pure Lotus, on the one hand, because of their magic to eradicate the sick, and on the other hand, because of their great strength.
For these powerful warriors, they have never been stingy with their respect.
"Wherever people suffer, there is my Buddha. ”
Jinglian shook her head, her face was a little impatient, and the prison soldier couldn't help but show an embarrassed look when she thought of her previous actions, and defended: "Aren't I also here to speed up the progress?" Even so, in the face of Jinglian's solemn figure, he still had to get out of the way and let Jinglian walk in front of the two.
"It's actually Master Pure Lotus?"
When the two saw Jinglian appearing here, they hurriedly crawled over, raised their heads and said to Jinglian, "Please ask the master to save my brother!"
"Alas!"
Jinglian glanced at the body lying on the ground, but shook her head, and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, your brother is already dead, and the poor monk is powerless." "Although he is strong, he can only save the living, and if it is a dead person, then naturally there is no way.
"What?"
Hearing the news, both of them muttered in their mouths, looking unacceptable.
"You mean, brother, he's really dead?"
"If we can be faster, we still have a chance to live. It's just a pity that I'm still late. Jinglian shook her head and replied.
When the two men heard this, they both raised their heads and looked at the prison guard with anger, if this guy hadn't stopped him before, how could their brother have died like this?
"What do you see? Didn't I already let you see Jinglian? You still dare to accuse me?"
The overseer was annoyed, and drew his whip and was about to swing it, but his body trembled when he looked at it sideways, and his raised arms slowly fell, but he did not dare to vent his anger at the two men.
Jinglian squatted down and said to the two of them with pity on her face, "Alas. You two are also broken, so let me treat you two for you. Otherwise, you two will follow in his footsteps. Then he raised his hands, but they pressed them on their heads, and with a drop of holy light into their bodies, the two of them also felt that their bodies were back to the same as before, not as exhausted as before.
"Thank you, Master. ”
Seeing that they had recovered, both of them were overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and bowed to Jinglian.
Jinglian didn't dodge, and generously accepted the two of them.
The prison guard next to him complained: "It's just two pariahs, how can the master treat them like this?"
"Before the Buddha, all beings were equal. ”
Jinglian glanced at the prison army, but shook her head, and then took a step forward and walked towards the next target, after all, there are not a few people who faint because of heat stroke except for them here, if you slack off a little, the consequences are quite harsh.
Wang Li looked at this scene, and also felt lucky: "Fortunately, there is still Jinglian to help, otherwise it would be completely bad!" However, he didn't know what kind of goal was hidden under the Buddha.
