Broken wings

Chapter 17

Ouyang Qian owed slightly: "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well, I may not be able to do this physical work." "

The people didn't

want to embarrass him, but they didn't even want to help him, and they were not happy, so they shook the box and kicked up a cloud of dust on the ground. Ouyang Qian glanced down, and a sadness faintly rose in his heart, and he couldn't say anything.

"Who the fuck do you think you are? Are you uncomfortable? Do you think we're

very comfortable? Hey, I'm wondering, don't you just stand guard outside the door every time you go out? What's so tiring about us? We people are tired and tired in the miscellaneous room every day, and we haven't seen a few people running to you and crying out to you, right? I can't even call you a favor, where do you come from such a big shelf?"

"I'm in a hurry to break your legs and let you stand guard with your arms, believe it or not?" The man raised his eyebrows and his face was full of provocation and violence, and the people around him also coaxed, "Abolish him! Abolish him!"

"That is to say, why should he be special alone, we have never gone out, we don't know what the outside world has become, why can he come and go freely every day?

They instantly blamed Ouyang Qian for all the pressure and injustice they had endured in the miscellaneous room over the years, in fact, they all knew that it was useless to do so, it was not him who kept them locked up here, and it was not him who made them eat bran every day, it was just that they had been suppressed for too long and needed a point to vent.

These people were gossiping, and they had become confused and blurred in Ouyang Qian's ears, and he slowly saw that these people had gone from grinning at the beginning to sitting on the ground and crying, full of despair for life. Each of them knew that the years of toil they had spent in the past, and their pitiful and suffocating salaries, would continue until the end of their lives.

Ouyang Qian just looked at them silently, feeling powerless for this.

After they finished venting, they continued to wipe away their tears, what should they do, Ouyang Qian looked at the small square sky above his head, and wondered if he would be like them in the future, forever confined ......in this small world

Ouyang Qian shouldn't be on duty today, he didn't get up until noon, in addition to the feeling of numbness from the external injury, he faintly felt some pantothenic acid in his stomach, which was extremely uncomfortable. Chu Yan knew that he was seriously injured, so he didn't let anyone bother him, and there were a few gossips, so Chu Yan didn't hear it. After Ouyang Qian woke up, after washing up, he heard Chu Yan ask, "Have you slept enough?"

Ouyang Qian nodded: "I'm a little hungry." "

"I'll roll you a bowl of noodles. Chu Yan put down the work in his hand and said.

"Don't bother, I'll just eat two bites of leftover food. Ouyang Qian moved a small stool out and sat outside to eat, a steamed bun, a small plate of pickles, and a bowl of clear soup with floating leaves.

After all, he was still at the age of growing up, Chu Yan felt that these were really too little, and besides, he hadn't eaten for four or five days, so he asked with some distress: "Is it delicious?"

Ouyang Qian shook his head: "It's not delicious." "

"I'll go get you some food. Chu Yan put down his things and was about to go to the kitchen, but Ouyang Qian hurriedly stopped, "Uncle Yan, someone like you wants to gossip, I'll just eat this, thank you." Looking at Ouyang Qian's sweet smile, as if there was no trace of grievance and dissatisfaction, Chu Yan was a little stunned, and shook his head with a sigh.

Yuan Zhen wanted to find someone to serve the pen and ink, and he didn't want those guards with facial paralysis to serve him, so he sent Feng Shi'an to call Ouyang Qian. "

Ouyang Qian got up with some effort and bowed: "Yes, thank you, father-in-law, I'm sorry for your trouble." "

Feng Shi'an looked at Ouyang Qian's meal, and said with a sigh: "You are still growing your body, do you eat these every day?"

"It's enough for me to eat these, and I'll be there right away if my father-in-law tells the emperor. "

Feng Shi'an looked at the clear soup and little water, sighed and left.

When Feng Shi'an went back to restore his life, Yuan Zhen was eating lunch, the table was very rich, a lot of nutritious meals, and then thinking about what the child ate, he couldn't help but feel emotional, and bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, the slave has already called the child here, he is still eating, and he will come over after eating." "

Yuan Zhen took a sip of tea and asked with concern, "What did he eat?"

Feng Shi'an sighed, shook his head, and stopped: "Steamed bread and pickles, a bowl of clear soup ......."

Yuan Zhen frowned, thoughtfully waved his hand to let him retreat, thinking that he would come and ask again later, and then thought about it, he was supposed to send him there to get angry, isn't the food in the miscellaneous room like that?

After more than half an hour, I saw Ouyang Qian limping in, kneeling respectfully and bowing: "The slave greets the emperor." "

"Have you eaten?" Yuan Zhen suddenly said this, Ouyang Qian was stunned for a moment, and said, "Eat ......".

"What to eat?".

Ouyang Qian was stunned for a moment, his mind was blank, someone had already told him that he couldn't act too publicly, so blatantly eating in the yard and reaching the ears of his father-in-law, he must have felt that he was wasting his food......

Ouyang Qian trembled, thinking about the wording: "It's the slave who is greedy, and he begged the manager to reward the slave with some good ones, and the manager gave him a steamed bun ...... when he saw that the slave was pitiful."

Yuan Zhen stretched out his hand to pull him up, but Ouyang Qian thought that his father-in-law was going to beat him, closed his eyes, raised his face slightly, and waited for the slap to be slapped in the face. Looking at Ouyang Qian's appearance, Yuan Zhen almost turned his back on anger and said coldly: "Open your eyes!"

Ouyang Qian opened his eyes blankly, and Yuan Zhen said angrily: "I asked you what you ate, why don't you put on this posture to show me?"

Ouyang Qian looked at the ground a little dazed.

Yuan Zhen suddenly became a little angry: "Did I abuse you and not give you food?

Ouyang Qian shook his head in confusion.

"Then why did I just ask you a word, and you just put your face up for me to beat?"

Ouyang Qian didn't know why, he just subconsciously thought that his father-in-law was going to beat him, and said, "Hmm...... Slaves should not eat the emperor's rations......

".

The corners of Yuan Zhen's mouth twitched, only to feel that he was sarcastic in and out of his words, and opened his mouth to order: "You shouldn't eat my rations, right?" Okay, you have backbone, you go to the worship room to spread the word, and in the future, the rations of the miscellaneous service room will not have your share, if someone in the miscellaneous service room secretly helps, it will not matter if you kill them." "

If he doesn't give him food, then how will he live? He can't understand why his father-in-law hates him so much, he has already been beaten and punished, and he has already paid a terrible price for what he has done, but why does he still torture himself so much? It turns out that his father-in-law tolerated and left his life behind, not because he cherished himself, but because he hadn't tortured enough, half a year ago, and still is.

Originally, Chu Yan wanted to secretly give him something to eat, but he refused, he didn't want to cause anyone to suffer because of himself.

At first, it was fine, but after a few days he was dizzy with hunger, and he had no mind to do things all day, just thinking about being hungry. When he went to Chengming Hall on duty, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva over and over again when he saw the delicious food on Yuan Zhen's table. When Yuan Zhen finished eating, when the people in the imperial dining room came to take away the dishes, his eyes would also move.

Ouyang Qian stayed in the miscellaneous room for a while, and found the law here, the food here is some steamed buns, pickles and gruel, otherwise it is rice that is not eaten anywhere else, and the food is scarce, and if you want to be full, you have to fight, which means that some people can't even eat. He has always been accustomed to eating good food, and at first it was really difficult to swallow, but after staying for a long time, he didn't have to eat if he didn't eat this, and he didn't feel it, but the amount before was not less than this, and the miscellaneous room complained all day long. Ouyang Qian knew that his father-in-law deducted the rations of the miscellaneous service room because of himself, so he decided to talk to him, he had no bargaining chips for victory, since he came to the miscellaneous labor room, he beat himself twice in three days, where did the capital come from to negotiate with him about what conditions, the only way for him to stop targeting the rations of the miscellaneous room was to strip himself from it.

At the end of the

day on duty, when he was leaving, Yuan Zhen saw Ouyang Qian squirming and pinching, as if he was struggling with something, and he was angry in his heart, what he couldn't see the most was the appearance of people twisting like this, and immediately said with a calm face: "Do you have something to say?"

Ouyang Qian was not ready to speak, and when he asked him so in advance, he panicked, and the words that he had thought of in his mind also ran out of the clouds, opened his mouth and closed it, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Yuan Zhen glared at him speechlessly: "If you have something to say, what will it look like!"

Ouyang Qian walked to the front and knelt down: "The slave knows that he shouldn't interfere with the emperor's will, but the slave still wants to say that the work done in the miscellaneous room is the hardest in the palace, ask the emperor to add some food to them, and the slave has thanked the emperor for his kindness for them...... "kowtow."

"Thank you for them, don't you eat it yourself?" Yuan Zhen sneered.

"The future rations of the slaves can not be counted, and the emperor can explain the worship room and exclude the slaves. Ouyang Qian bowed more and more.

"Excluded?" Yuan Zhen chuckled, "What you said is light, but you should tell me, what is the elimination method?

Ouyang Qian only blindly said: "It's good for the slave to figure out his own way." "

"What can you do?" Yuan Zhen blinked slightly, with an expression of listening to him.

"A slave can go hungry first, and be hungry until he can't go hungry for a day. "

"What about the day when you can't go hungry?"

“...... At that time, the slave will figure it out on his own. Ouyang Qian was silent for a moment and replied.

"What can you do?" Yuan Zhen had to ask why, he wanted to know what Ouyang Qian was planning.

"There should be leftover roots and leaves in the imperial dining room every day, and the minions take advantage of the absence of people to rummage through the saliva bucket, and they will not starve to death after eating two bites. "

Ouyang Qian's face was calm, and Yuan Zhen even wanted to laugh, this is how he thought of it, what kind of way the hell is this? According to his plan, within half a year, he will starve into a dried corpse.

Yuan Zhen walked out from behind the desk and squatted down in front of him: "Ouyang Qian, this is your so-called method? You are using this method to intercede with me? Why do you think that I will agree to your request? What qualifications do you have to ask me to agree?" Yuan Zhen stared at his eyes and said coldly, "Your so-called bargaining chip is your safety? Are you indirectly threatening me with death?"

"The slave doesn't dare to blackmail the emperor, the slave is honest, those vegetable roots that can't be put into the pot or something, the slave can turn them over and eat, and the slave's monthly salary can also be left unwanted...... The slave just doesn't want his reasons to affect others......" Ouyang Qian didn't seem to be lying at all, he really planned to do so, "Or the slave can move out of the miscellaneous room, or the slave can sleep under the beam of the roof at will, or ...... Servants can keep vigil every day to protect the emperor's safety, and during the day, they can also go to the miscellaneous room to do hard labor, and they can squint for ......a while when they have a little free time."

Yuan Zhen took a deep breath: "Do you know who the people are in the miscellaneous room? Why don't I give them food? Fool who doesn't know anything, I persuade you to change this nosy problem, how do you know if they will remember you if you help them now? If someone can step on your head and get out of the miscellaneous room, do you think they will hesitate in the slightest? Indecisive and soft-hearted, I despise you the most, it is your woman's heart!"

"Someone. Yuan Zhen continued to sit behind the desk, and two guards came in, "Your Majesty." "

"Drag it out, and the rod will be forty. Yuan Zhen casually flipped through the scriptures, and his tone of voice was as casual as what he ate for dinner. Ouyang Qian chuckled in his heart, he was already in poor health, and it would be really difficult to fight again, so he was busy pleading for himself, "Don't fight, the emperor doesn't fight, can the minions work more to resist the board?"

"Eighty rods. "

"Yes. The guards dragged Ouyang Qian down, Ouyang Qian felt a little sad in his heart, in recent times, he has been beaten to catch up with the total number of the previous ten years, the ground is dirty, the books are broken, the tea is cold, no matter what happens, no matter who is on duty, as long as he finds something that is not eye-catching, he will drag Ouyang Qian out to beat.

Tired and unbearable ......
