Chapter 1: The Nocturnal Boy
Although both the Southern Qi and Northern Qi kingdoms are called states, in fact there is only one monarch in the two countries - the king of Qi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoJiangzhou belongs to the Southern Qi State and borders the Northern Qi State in the north, which is precisely due to this unique geographical condition that makes Jiangzhou the richest city in the northern part of the Southern Qi Kingdom.
Pingmei City is a small city in the south of Jiangzhou, a long and narrow mountain range runs through the entire Pingmei City, and this mountain is called Pingmei Mountain. Pingmei Mountain is east-west, and there is a huge basin in the middle, and Pingmei County is located in this basin. From a distance, this Pingmei county is like the center of people's eyebrows, and the rolling mountains on both sides are like the eyebrows on both sides of the eyebrows, but the eyebrows are straight, so this mountain is called Pingmei Mountain, and this city is called Pingmei City.
On this day, night was about to fall, and in a certain valley at the eastern foot of Pingmei Mountain, there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, holding a cow in his left hand and a hemp whip in his right hand.
This young man's name is Xiang Qi, since he can remember, he has never seen his biological parents, he grew up with the fourth uncle of his family, and two years ago, there was a famine in Dong'an Town, his hometown, the fourth uncle took him to Pingmei City, and he did an errand at the house of Zhang Dacai, and at the same time, Xiang Qi also became a short-term worker. A twelve or thirteen-year-old child is growing up, and the fourth uncle can't bear to let Xiang Qi do hard work, but fortunately, a short-term worker who herds cattle in the former family of Zhang Da Rich came home to mourn, and the fourth uncle gave him this errand for herding.
"Smack!"
Xiang Qi raised his whip again and whipped it heavily on the cow's back. The ox raised its head sharply, and took a large wisp of uprooted grass in its mouth, and slowly took heavy steps forward as it chewed the delicious taste in its mouth.
"I can't sleep until midnight today. Xiang Qi looked up at the sky, sighed, and thought so in his heart.
Since he responded to the errand of herding cattle at Zhang Da's rich man's house, Xiang Qi has been herding cattle early and returning late every day, wearing stars and moons, but this cow seems to never be full, because of this, the housekeeper Mu Wang also slapped him heavily, and left a vicious sentence: "If you kid is lazy again, I will beat you to death!"
Regarding this beating, Xiang Qi did not tell the fourth uncle, first, he was afraid that the fourth uncle would have excessive behavior, and he didn't want his only relative to offend Mu Wang because of this trivial matter;
Just last night, when he dragged his tired body back to Zhang Da's rich man's house and came out of the cowshed, Mu Wang was glaring at himself viciously, Xiang Qi stopped, lowered his head slightly, and was very scared in his heart, thinking that he would be beaten by Mu Wang again, but he didn't expect to hear Mu Wang's following words: "I know you are not lazy, but it is also a fact that the cow has not been full, if you don't punish you, you can't say it, from tomorrow, before you go out to herd the cattle every morning, pour out my night pot, it will be a punishment for you." ”
After speaking, Mu Wang turned around and left, leaving Xiang Qi with a complicated expression on his face, which was dazed, weird, but more angry. Mu Wang's attitude towards Xiang Qi seems to have changed slightly, but Xiang Qi doesn't think that this is Mu Wang's kindness, he feels that Mu Wang is humiliating himself in a different way.
And just this morning, when Xiang Qi carried Mu Wang's angry night pot, he strengthened his opinion on this matter and increased his hatred for Mu Wang.
"One day, I'll let your old turtle grandson pour a night pot for my master!" Xiang Qi gritted his teeth viciously and kicked a stone away.
But now a very real question is in front of Xiang Qi, when will he be able to let out this bad breath, and how can he become stronger than Mu Wang?
At this time, Xiang Qi thought of the rich man Zhang, if he became a person like the rich man Zhang one day, even if he didn't ask for it, maybe this Mu Wang would fight to pour himself a night pot.
Thinking of the rich man Zhang, Xiang Qi's face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and he heard the fourth uncle say that this rich man has 3,000 acres of fertile land in the south of the city, and there are as many as 200 long-term workers in the family alone, and there are even more short-term workers like Xiang Qi, countless of them.
And the most enviable and jealous thing is that the rich man Zhang has eight aunts, and all of them are as beautiful as flowers and charming. And just two days ago, I heard the fourth uncle say that in more than ten days, Xiaomei in the village will get married, and the dowry has been given.
Hearing this news, Xiang Qi was very surprised, this Xiaomei is two years younger than himself, she married at such a young age, and the person she married was still an old and ugly rich man, there must be a secret that no one knows. Thinking that Xiaomei, who is like a flower, is about to become the ninth aunt of Zhang Da's rich man, Xiang Qi is very uncomfortable in his heart, he can clearly remember that when he was a child, Xiaomei was his own wife!
"I want to become a richer man than Zhang Da Cai, and at that time, the first thing I will do is to occupy Zhang Da Cai's third daughter!"
The third daughter of Zhang Da's rich family was born with a stunning face that brought disaster to the country and the people, even a woman couldn't help but take a few more glances when she saw her, it is no wonder that Xiang Qi at this time was full of spring, and there was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth!
"I want to become a richer man than Zhang Da Cai, I want to occupy Zhang Da Cai's third daughter, I want Mu Wang to pour me a night pot!"
The more Xiang Qi thought about it, the more excited he became, and he invisibly accelerated the pace of progress, eager to fly to Zhang Da Rich's house immediately, as if he had now become a richer man than Zhang Da Cai, and when he returned home, he could occupy Zhang Da Cai's third daughter, and let Mu Wang pour a night pot for himself!
