Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

"Don't move, I put a beggar grass on you, it's your life, that mountain forest is cold and cold, just grow this kind of grass, at this time, there is Xianghe City in front, there are only weeds around the city, the wound is broken, but there is nowhere to collect medicine for you." Lao Cai leaned over on his horse and dissuaded.

"Benefactor, your surname. Hong Xiaohan spit out a sentence with difficulty.

"Mmmm, don't be expensive, your surname is Cai, and you all call me Lao Cai. Lao Cai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why did that person want to harm you, such a means, what a big holiday he has with you." "

"I'm a waster, why are you still willing to take me in? Hong Xiaohan didn't answer, but he said left and right and cared about others.

"Well, I've had a hard time like this before. Lao Cai made a god.

"Lao Cai, you accept me as a righteous son, I am willing to follow you. "

"Don't dare, I'm just a broken person, and I can't afford to look up to it. "Lao Cai is old in the world, how can he be willing to put a burden on himself for no reason.

"Lao Cai, if I make a meritorious service, can you promote me to be a leader? After thinking about it, Hong Xiaohan finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He is already a wasted person, in this troubled world where people's lives are like mustard, even after recovering from injuries, he will only endure all the hardships for the rest of his life, begging on the streets, and then starving to death and freezing to death one night.

"Well, that's up to you. "

"I have a lot of gold, and the reason why that man harmed me is not because of the festival, but because he wants to rob me of my gold. In order to take revenge, Hong Xiaohan finally told the secret. Anyway, if you don't say it, you can only cheapen the enemy, rather than this, it is better to dedicate it to Lao Cai, he can see that Lao Cai is the leader of the thief army, at least he can arrange an errand for him.

"I don't believe why you have gold. "

So, Hong Xiaohan briefly said about his acquisition of gold, naturally not mentioning the death of his companion, only saying that he left, Lao Cai frowned, this story is somewhat credible, and it is also right before and after, but he brought people over, how could it be too late, that high time will get gold and fly away, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "You, why didn't you say it earlier, I'm afraid it's too late at this time, and also, are you a stupid hat, you actually drew a real treasure map for him." "

"I don't know if it's too late, as long as it comes, it's a lot of credit. Hong Xiaohan was also remorseful, he was so desperate at that time, and when he recalled it at this time, he felt a heartache.

"The horses, the two horses, you

only have two horses, don't you? "

"Well, yes. Hong Xiaohan also thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up, yes, there will be no horses when he is high, he can only walk back on two legs, as long as there is no accident, he will still be in time at this time.

Immediately picked up the pen and redrew a treasure map, this kind of simple treasure map can only be understood by the locals who are familiar with the local area, fortunately, they caught a few Gao family Zhuang Ding can be used as guides, Lao Cai is full of eagerness, with this credit, he can speak in front of Niangniang again.

Hong Xiaohan wanted to see the enemy ambushed with his own eyes, and wanted to follow them to Wucai County, but his injuries were too serious, so he could only be carried into the city on a stretcher.

"Have the officers and troops retreated, I see that you have not arranged to defend the city. Hong Xiaohan couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it is, otherwise, our Leader Cai won't be in a hurry. Someone estimated that this kid might have made a fortune, so he replied.

"The official army is defeated, why is Lao Cai in a hurry. Hong Xiaohan heard that something was wrong, frowned and asked confusedly.

"Don't say, don't ask. The left and right sides were discolored, and the talkative man just now couldn't slap himself for a while.

Although Hong Xiaohan is a young man, he has just gone through a catastrophe in his life, honed his mind, smelled out that the atmosphere on the left and right was wrong, and immediately remained silent, and said innocently: "I understand, some people have great merit, the official army has been defeated, and Lao Cai has not made any efforts." But if the credit is great, it may not necessarily have a good end, the merit is high, and the bird who comes out is the first to be shot. "

"Yes, boy, you get it. The left and right people said yes again and again, and rounded off this leaky word.

After this lesson, Hong Xiaohan said less all the way, and only quietly looked at the streets on both sides, but his suspicions increased instead of decreasing, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why are all the stores unavailable, but, open." "

But this time no one paid any attention to him.

Hong Xiaohan had no choice but to pretend to be abrupt and said: "I understand, the world is not good, it is easy to be thieves on the side of the road, so I put the goods in the warehouse, wait for the guests to come, and then enter the house to see the goods." "

"You know a fart, the mother said that you are not allowed to hoard, raise prices, and ask people to take care of it, but it turned out to be like this. But our mother. The man stopped talking, obviously with some concern.

"The heart is good, that is, there are many traitors below, and they sleep in their own homes, which is the same, and there is no pure land in this Ming Dynasty. "

"People's hearts are like this, they are all trying to get rich, and people who have worked hard all their lives have the power to come to Japan, who can bear it, and I can't help it. "

These people have said strange things, obviously not nonsense, but how many days and nights of resentment, depression can not be resolved, piled up in their hearts for a long time.

"Don't say it again, it's easy to get into trouble. "

As he was talking, a group of people turned the corner and entered the wide street, Hong Xiaohan's eyes were full of horror, only to see a neat row of wooden stakes standing on the left side of the road, the wooden stakes were branched and tied with ropes, and countless dead people were hung with their feet facing the sky and their heads down, these people had white blisters all over their skin, and those herpes were broken open and flowed out of unspeakable pus.

"Is this smallpox, why don't you burn it? "Hong Xiaohan has been suffering from smallpox since he was a child, and when he heard people say that the smallpox plague was happening in Xianghe, he thought he was not afraid, but today he saw this plague with his own eyes, and he still can't help himself.

"Boy, don't talk too much, from now on, if you talk more, those people will be your example. Someone threatened.

Hong Xiaohan was furious, and according to his previous temperament, he must make a big noise, but at this time, he obediently shut up.

At the end of this terrifying street, there was a team of runic soldiers blocking the way. The leader was a little white face with a gloomy face, and his eyes were very unkind and asked: "Why are these few, the words passed in front of me say that you have made a great contribution, don't play tricks on me." "

"Hehe, it's helpless, report more to boost morale, these two cars, they are all good babies, these kiwis, you smell the aroma." Money can't buy it. "

"Okay, leave the things behind, and you go, and the credit will be according to your credit. Xiao Baiyan glanced at the fruits and vegetables in the car, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and the armor soldiers behind him also leaned over with their eyes, intoxicated by the aroma, and seemed to be very excited.

The few captives who had been captured had already lost their hearts at this moment, and they were at their mercy, and Hong Xiaohan saw that those armor soldiers had poured a kind of water on them, so he asked, "What is this water?"

"This little brother is. Little White Face had already noticed the one-eyed boy on the stretcher, because he asked.

"This is the leader of my family who saved a person outside, but he is very tight. "

"If you drink this holy heavenly rune water, if you don't die, you are our own brother. Little White Face said.

"What is the benefit of such a strange talisman water, if you drink it to cure your illness, or if you drink it, you will die?" Hong Xiaohan asked in confusion.

"If you are loyal to our mother once, your merit will be added by one point, and if you are unfaithful once, you will be set up in eighteen layers of hell and never be reborn. The little white face smiled sadly: "Boy, if you are loyal to our mother, come and take a sip." "

Hong Xiaohan

was stunned when he heard this, looked at everyone on the left and right, all of them were shocked, secretly funny, thinking, this water is just poisoned by smallpox, I am a person who has grown smallpox, but I am not afraid of this kind of thing, if he wants to get ahead, he will do something out of the ordinary to raise people's prestige, so he said: "Okay, Niangniang has great powers, and I Hong Xiaohan is willing to be driven." "

"Hmph. Xiao Baimian sneered, went to get a bowl, scooped water from the bucket, and handed it to Hong Xiaohan with his own hands.

Hong Xiaohan took the bowl, lowered his head and changed color, only to see that there seemed to be foreign objects in the water, and some small insects of different shades were suspended in the water.

"Drink, if you don't drink, you will be killed. The little white face scolded sharply.

"Do you drink this water, and if you drink it, I will drink it too." Hong Xiaohan is anti-guest.

"Cut, where did you come from, a fool, to entertain your grandfather. Come on, hold him down. Xiao Bai Face gave an order, the soldiers on the left and right rushed up, pressed Hong Xiaohan on the stretcher, his head was firmly clamped, Xiao Bai Face leaned over with a wicked smile, and pinched his nose with one hand, and when he couldn't hold his breath, he opened his mouth, and the other hand was raised high and slowly poured the water in the bowl, and a water line was falling on his open mouth.

"I am a person who has made great achievements, how can I be harmed. Hong Xiaohan was horrified, and shouted indistinctly between the choking waters.

"This Holy Heavenly Rune water is expensive, originally a waste person like you knelt down to beg me, but he couldn't ask for a mouthful, and in the future, he will know that I am good. Little White Face sneered.

The suspicious insects were in the stomach, the throat was itchy, I don't know if it was still crawling, Hong Xiaohan was already frightened, shivering and not daring to speak. He was carried on a stretcher and walked all the way into an alley full of knives and guns, which was obviously the barracks of the thieves, and everyone was quite afraid of him at the moment, and arranged a room for him alone. Hong Xiaohan wanted to ask some questions, but he was afraid that he would cause trouble with too many words, so he was frightened and scared all night, and the next day, the wound suppurated, and he was frightened again, so he started a high fever and whispered, but fortunately, Lao Cai's subordinates were afraid that he would die, and it was not easy to make a difference, so he invited a doctor, prescribed him a prescription, and drank a patch of medicine.

Hong Xiaohan was in a fever and confusion, as if there was an old man smiling at him in front of him, he took a closer look, but it was a skeleton, the skeleton's teeth chattered, and in the blink of an eye, the hole turned pink, so it's not weird, he reached out to grab the pink hole, but he flashed it, and heard a woman as nice as a silver bell in his ear: "You have become a waste, don't pull me, it's disgusting for no reason." "

He woke up a little and shouted, "Lao Lu, I regret it, I regret it." In a daze, I heard someone whispering in my ear: I haven't coughed up blood, I haven't coughed up blood, so I don't have to be afraid, I'm not afraid.

This slightly hoarse sentence pulled Hong Xiaohan back from his dream, his abrupt brain was very clear, his only remaining eyeball widened, and the dim light flickered non-stop, he only saw an old man in a plate of medicinal soup, scooped a spoonful and was about to put it into his mouth, but saw Hong Xiaohan staring, taken aback and asked, "Little, guy, you take medicine, you take medicine." "

"You, just said that if you don't cough up blood, you won't be afraid, what if I cough up blood. Hong Xiaohan asked.

"Hehehe, guy, if you have medicine to eat, then you can still be saved, don't ask, I will scare you to death if I ask too much. The old man said with an indescribable sadness on his face, and forced a smile.

"Smallpox doesn't cough up blood, what did they give me to drink, I had smallpox and wasn't afraid of smallpox. Hong Xiaohan was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "I have smallpox, is it smallpox?"

"Ahh Unexpectedly, the old man shouted, and went straight to the door as if fleeing.

Hong Xiaohan saw that he was embarrassed to escape, and he tripped over the threshold and fell into a dog eating, which did not make him laugh, but his heart was half cold, and he used all his strength to roar: "Come back, teach me to save myself, I want to live." "

The old man still had a conscience, although he was very frightened, after hearing this roar, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look into the house, and saw Hong Xiaohan glaring at him like a ghost.

"You, you,

this is not a disease, it is, Niangniang's immortal arts, there are many people who drink water, they just need to be loyal to Niangniang, you can live, if you want to live, try it." "

"How to be loyal. "

"In the past, the Shenjia Battalion

cut off the road for us to transport grain from the south outside the city, and at that time there were many people who went to fight with the Shenjia Battalion and rushed to their fire array. "

"Is it useful, are those people alive. "

"Hehehe, I don't know, they were all killed by the Shenjia Battalion. "

"Then why are there still people willing to go, dead

ends, and there are still people willing to go, you, you are lying, there are no such stupid people. Hong Xiaohan asked tremblingly, Lao Langzhong's words really scared him a lot.

"Because being killed by the fire of the Shenjia Battalion is the least sinful way to die. "

"That, the one who doesn't go, what is the way to die. "

"Don't ask, you're scared to death if you ask. "

"Tell me, tell,

tell, me. Hong Xiaohan fell into a frenzy and roared.

"First, first he coughed up blood, and when the blood was black, he died. "

"Black blood. "

"Yes, black blood, I saw it with my own eyes. "

"Hmm. Hong Xiaohan's eyes were sour, and he actually shed tears, as stubborn as him, even if he broke his tendons, he didn't see tears, but at this time, he was like a girl, and he just cried.
