Chapter 2 Freedom

It was getting dark, and the slave who brought the supper had already left, and he would not live with these lowly slaves, so he naturally had a place to live in the city.

Mu Bai leaned back on his bed, which was a big bunk and a little dirty, and his bed was close to the middle, just in time to see the scene outside the shack. Looking at the sunset on the horizon outside the shack with only a little afterglow left, he held a cold hard steamed bun in his hand and was slightly distracted.

And Kong Lin, who was on the right bunk, was sitting on the edge of the bed at the moment, glanced at Mu Bai, got up and walked over, and sat next to Mu Bai, Kong Lin smiled, "What do you think? You are not good at words on weekdays, but you are not good at speaking today." ”

When Mu Bai heard this, he came back to his senses and said helplessly: "No way, for the sake of freedom, you have to do something." I was wondering if I would be able to escape in a few days. If you can't get rid of slavery, any freedom and a good life are all empty talk. Mu Bai's voice was a little low.

Kong Lin's face turned straight, "That's true." Our shack is still relatively united, unlike other places, where they often fight to the death for food or a quarrel. That's a common thing, and since you call me big brother, then I naturally have to do my duty as a big brother. ”

Kong Lin came here early, when he first came, because of his thin body, he was often bullied, Kong Lin was a scholar, and he had no power to restrain the chicken. There is still a big brother who takes better care of him, and under the care of the big brother, the rest of the people will not deliberately bully him.

When Kong Lin had nothing to do, he calmly chatted with those slaves, enlightened, and was gradually recognized by the rest.

Later, the eldest brother ran away with Kong Lin and them at night, and the city gate was opened the next morning, and they all mixed out, but they were killed by the guards of the city wall with bows and arrows on the spot. Kong Lin, on the other hand, was arrested at the city gate and sent back to the slave merchants, where he was severely beaten.

After the death of the eldest brother, although Kong Lin was young and could not fight, he had a lot of knowledge and a good brain, and he was one or two years older than the others, so he became the new big brother.

Mu Bai was silent for a while, and continued: "When I first became a slave, I also thought about escaping, but every time it was useless, and I was often beaten half to death, and then I simply accepted my fate. This time, I want to run away from everything, and I am not willing to live so lowly. Saying that, Mu Bai's tone was a little excited.

Kong Lin was a little surprised when he heard Mu Bai say this, and said in a low voice: "I have been studying hard for more than ten years, and my parents are farmers, and I usually look forward to my future fame." It's a pity that I'm a slave now, and I'm ashamed of my parents, and now I really want to see them again. ”

Speaking of this, Kong Lin smiled again, "I was going to go to the capital to catch the exam, and then I met a thief, a poor sour scholar who had no power to restrain the chicken, and the thief thought I had no money, so he simply arrested me and sold me cheaply, and then that's it." ”

As he spoke, Kong Lin glanced at Mu Bai up and down, and patted Mu Bai on the shoulder with a smile, "But we have known each other for several months, and you haven't talked about your past, you tell me about it." But...... It's okay if you don't want to say it. ”

When Mu Bai heard this, he stared at Kong Lin's eyes seriously for a full ten breaths, his eyes slowly became sad, and he said slowly: "I have no parents since I was a child, and my father-in-law picked me up on the side of the road......"

When Mu Bai was still a baby, it was a rainy day, and the rain was pouring all over the sky, and the swaddling clothes were completely soaked. Mu Bai's father-in-law is an old Taoist priest, over the age of sixties, never married a wife in his life, no children, on the day of the rainstorm Lao Dao is from a friend Taoist temple to visit back, walking halfway through the sky without warning of the pouring rain. There was no lightning, no thunder, no warning.

Lao Dao often babbles on weekdays that the rain is weird, no thunder or lightning, why does it rain, saying that Mu Bai is given to him by God, but he is pitiful that he is lonely and old.

The old Taoist priest's common surname is Mu, his name is Changqing, and the road number is also Changqing, and when he picked up Mu Bai, the baby Mu Bai was lying on a big white rock more than a foot high, so he was named Mu Bai by the old Tao.

Mu Bai is brought up by the old Taoist priest, recognizes the old Taoist as a righteous father, the old Taoist has a good medical skill, and will also alchemy, often boasting to Mu Baimei that he has refined the elixir, he saved the immortal when he was young, the immortal will fly, his medical skills and alchemy are all learned by the immortal, according to the old Tao, after the immortal is injured, he is standing on the big boat and flying away when he leaves, it is really flying away.

Mu Bai has never taken it seriously, he is purely whimsical, he doesn't care, he likes to mess around with the old way when he has nothing to do, and often laughs at the old way for being disrespectful, and brags to his junior, saying that there are no immortals in this world, and the boat can actually fly? But the old way didn't care, and continued to boast to Mu Bai proudly.

Although he said this, Mu Bai believed in the evergreen old way that brought him up since he was a child.

Becoming an immortal represents immortality, and no one can resist the temptation, so Mu Bai's heart is extremely firm in his idea of cultivating immortals, beyond anyone else, once he has the opportunity, Mu Bai will definitely seize it at all costs.

Later, when Mu Bai was fifteen years old, Lao Dao died at the age of seventy and six, until Lao Dao died, and he drove the crane west, leaving Mu Bai alone. Mu Bai has nothing to do and likes to babble in front of Lao Dao's tombstone about immortality and cultivating immortals, but Lao Dao still left like this.

Lao Dao confessed on his deathbed, and when Mu Bai was an adult at the age of sixteen, he went to his friend Taoist Temple to get something, which Lao Dao confessed. And Mu Bai's date of birth was set by Lao Dao as the day Mu Bai was picked up by Lao Dao.

Therefore, Mu Bai had some vague guesses in his heart, guessing that what Lao Dao said was either related to his life experience or related to cultivating immortals. But he was not sure, so he made up his mind that when he was sixteen years old, he would take what the old Tao said.

After several months of grief, Mu Bai slowly recovered, and he had nothing to study the medical books left by Lao Dao, but he didn't see any elixir refining methods, and he was even more determined to fetch what Lao Dao left him when he was an adult at the age of sixteen.

After the death of Changqing Lao Dao, Mu Bai went into the mountains to collect medicines on weekdays, treat people in the village, make a little money, and lived a leisurely life.

Lao Dao has a friend in the village, in his forties and fifties, which is considered to be Lao Dao's year-old, but unfortunately he is addicted to gambling and bankrupt. Later, when Mu Bai was asleep at night, he lost incense, grabbed it and sold it, so Mu Bai tossed and turned for a year and a half, and when he got here, he didn't have the opportunity to take what he left him before he died.

After a year and a half, Mu Bai was a slave, and after more than ten masters, he finally fell into this Bloodstone City, and thus met Kong Lin and the rest of the slaves.
