Chapter 19 Greedy Human Nature

When seeing the city wall at the border, everyone felt like they were in another world.

They know that when they see the city wall, they see hope.

Looking at the figures entering and exiting the city gate in twos and threes, they seemed to have returned to the human world from the gate of hell.

Everyone wanted to shout to the sky and let out the depression in their hearts. But when they wanted to shout loudly, they suddenly found that they couldn't scream.

Along the way, they endured too much.

When they set out from the village and arrived at the border, they suddenly found that many familiar faces had disappeared. Countless figures had disappeared before their eyes, including parents, brothers, wives and children, and more of those who had once been there.

Village companions who have lived together for countless years.

The number of people who can actually reach the border is less than half of those who left the village.

Everyone who disappeared felt familiar at this moment. However, when they remembered the figures, they felt that the ground was strange. The living people arrived at the border, and those who disappeared were buried.

The yellow sand may be killed by ferocious beasts, or it may become the soul of a dead man killed by the sword of a bandit,,,,

However, everyone has one thing in common: they die in a foreign land.

The village chief's voice became choked with sobs: "Fathers and fellow villagers, when we set out from the village, we were all one family. Although many of our family members are gone, we carry their hopes with us. All of us

Only by living well can we be worthy of those relatives who have died and comfort their souls."

The villagers were silent, and their eyes gradually became warm.

As the village chief said, this group of people carries not only their own lives, but also the hopes of the villagers who have died in a foreign land.

Everyone turned back silently and looked in the direction they started.

Although they were thousands of miles away, they seemed to see countless familiar scenes in the village at this moment.

There are tears in everyone's eyes, and the endless tears are shining with their memories and hopes,,,,,

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance, and dozens of horsemen came galloping towards them. Between the sound of horse hoofbeats, boundless smoke and dust were raised. The dozens of horsemen were extremely powerful, but the leader was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in black.

, and there is a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in colorful clothes sitting on a white horse, both of them have high crowns.

Yuzhu, it was obvious that they were all young masters and ladies from wealthy families. There were several young men in green clothes among the following riders, but the most eye-catching ones were the last four riders who were soldiers wearing armor. When they were approaching the city gate, these

The ten riders on the road gradually reined in their horses and walked slowly. It was obvious that this was someone they knew well.,,,,,,

When she was exposed to the villagers, the girl looked at the ragged village servant, but she lightly covered her mouth: "Cousin, where is this beggar from? Why did he come here? When he turned around and saw the city guard

General Zhang, please tell me that these people must not be allowed to enter the city. Who knows if these beggars are sick?"

The boy in black nodded repeatedly: "Whatever my cousin says will be whatever, and we will never let them enter the city."

When the villagers heard this, everyone was angry, but when they saw the soldier following the two men, they all lowered their heads involuntarily.

Dahu was sitting on a cart petting the little white cat, but when he heard this, his eyes showed endless anger.

"Huh?"

Before Dahu got angry, the girl saw Dahu sitting aside, looked at the little white cat in Dahu's hand, turned around, smiled arrogantly at Dahu, and said: "That little beggar,

Bring your cat over and let me take a look. If I can like your cat, I will reward you with some steamed buns later." The tone of her words was as if she could like other people's things. It was a blessing.

Great gifts are common.

Dahu raised his head and glanced at the girl, but ignored her.

"Little beggar, didn't you hear?" The young man in black stepped forward and said with a smile: "Show your cat to me. If my cousin takes a fancy to it, it will also be your cat's blessing."

"Go away." Dahu couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and his eyes were spitting fire: "Do you think that in your eyes, as long as you like something, others will give it to you?"

"Big tiger." The village chief and others shouted repeatedly.

In the eyes of these villagers, no matter what the people supported by the soldiers with scimitars at their waists want to do, they, ordinary villagers, can only accept it silently.

"Presumptuous." The young man in black couldn't help but burst into anger: "My cousin is interested in your cat, which gives you great face. Are you untouchables still thinking of rebelling?"

Dahu laughed angrily and stared coldly at the young man in black: "Does that mean that if I fall in love with your horse, you have to offer it with both hands?"

The young man in black was furious: "Asshole, you are a pariah, how can you compare with me?"

There was a lot of commotion outside the city. When the crowds coming in and out of the city gate heard the commotion, they all gathered around. Several of the soldiers guarding the city also gathered around and looked at the ragged villagers, but they did not speak.

."

"Oh my god, it's that little bully again." A woman in linen clothes was shocked: "These foreigners don't know how powerful they are, how dare they provoke this devil."

"The little bully is used to being domineering, but no one dares to control him. In addition, his father is the county governor, so no one will give him face."

"This little guy is probably going to suffer a big loss. The son of Qin Blacksmith's family in the city blocked his way a few days ago. Poor kid, he's only twelve years old, and his legs were broken by this little bully.

"A skinny middle-aged man whispered: "This kid offended this little bully, I'm afraid his life will be at risk." After saying that, he shook his head repeatedly,,,,

Listening to the voices in the crowd, the young man in black was not ashamed at all, but laughed loudly: "Little beggar, if you kneel down and kowtow a few times for me now, maybe I will spare your life as soon as I am happy.

."

The skinny middle-aged man who had spoken earlier hurriedly said to Dahu: "My dear, please kowtow to Mr. Zhu and admit your mistake. It's important to save your life."

Everyone else who knew the young man in black also repeatedly persuaded Dahu to kneel down and admit his mistake. One of the soldiers also tried to persuade him, but his eyes were full of pleading.

"Cousin." The girl in colorful clothes sneered: "Even if he admits his mistake, I will cut out his tongue and gouge out his eyes."

Dahu couldn't help but get furious: "You two are so well-dressed, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious."

The young man in black couldn't help being furious, but he pulled out a scimitar from the waist of a sergeant behind him, galloped forward, and slashed straight at the big tiger. The long knife made a roaring sound. If the sword hit, the big tiger would be killed.

The tiger is afraid of being cut in half with a knife.

Dahu was furious in his heart, but he rushed forward and punched the horse's head under the black-clothed boy's seat. The horse stood up in pain and directly knocked the black-clothed boy to the ground.

The body of the boy in black rolled on the ground several times before he stopped falling, and his eyes looking at Dahu had a hint of anger.

"Child, admit your mistake quickly." The village chief hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Dahu tightly, his eyes full of fear.

For them, they can fight against ferocious beasts and bandits. However, they must not offend this obviously official young master in front of them. Once they offend these official people, I am afraid that everyone will die without a burial place.

.

A glimmer of disappointment flashed through Dahu's eyes, and he finally slowly loosened his clenched fists.

The soldier who spoke earlier said in a low voice: "Baby, please admit your mistake to Mr. Zhu. Not only is he the son of the governor's family, but he also became a disciple of the elder Lingzhengmen three years ago and has learned the inscrutable Taoism.

Magic and magic. If you admit your mistake to him, it will not be a shame, or you will lose your life."

The village chief and others cast grateful glances at the soldier. The soldier chuckled and quickly backed away.

"Kneel down and admit your mistake." The young man in black sneered: "Or I will kill all of you."

"You,,,," Dahu's eyes became even more angry. The behavior of this young man in black was even more vicious than that of the bandits.

"The Sheriff is here." I don't know who shouted, and everyone looked around, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a purple official uniform running towards him, panting all the way, followed by several people.

Purple-clothed police officer. When the county guard saw the crowd gathered around him, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

The young man in black hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head in salute: "Dad."

The county guard's face was as pale as wax, and his face was green and white. He slapped the black-clothed boy hard in the face and said, "What a bastard, I asked you to act recklessly here again." The black-clothed boy was slapped in the face.

The slap made him dizzy and he hurriedly backed away. Seeing the county guard slap him again, he quickly jumped to the side with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Uncle Zhu." The girl in colorful clothes shouted quickly.

However, the county guard's eyes fell on the girl's face and he said coldly: "Girl Mingzhu, you are just as willful as usual. Just go back and I will go see your father when I have time."

But Dahu asked the soldier in a low voice: "Who are they?"

The soldier lowered his voice and whispered: "That person is the local governor Zhu Le. The young man in black is the governor's only son Zhu Ping. The girl is Han Mingzhu, the beloved daughter of the general Han Tong at the edge of the town. This

The Sheriff and General Han Tong's wife are blood relatives, and the two families are very close to each other on weekdays."

The people gathered around nodded to the Sheriff, but the Sheriff was upright in his conduct, and many people clapped and applauded the Sheriff. Zhu Ping felt his face heat up for a moment, got on his horse and galloped away.

When the girl and the dozens of riders who followed saw Zhu Ping leave, they also walked away quietly in dejection.

The county chief hugged his hands and said to the village chief: "Old man, my son lost his mother when he was young. As a father, I usually neglect to discipline him, which makes the child behave badly. I have offended many people today, so please forgive me for my anger."

The village chief waved his hands repeatedly, but he was so grateful that he just knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him.

Seeing tears flashing in the village chief's eyes, the county governor asked kindly: "Look at the old man who is so busy in life, have you encountered any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, just tell me. As a parent official of a county, I am responsible for it."

Solve problems for the people."

With tears in his eyes, the village chief hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the county governor.

The county governor's face was filled with red light, and he loudly said to the onlookers: "As a county official, I am busy with government affairs on weekdays and seldom move around among the people. Now that we have encountered it today, if you have any difficulties, please tell me

You can talk to me. As long as I can do anything, I will definitely help everyone solve problems." As he spoke, he supported the village chief and said loudly: "Old man, if you have anything to say, I will definitely do it for you.

arrive."

The village chief hurriedly turned back and pointed at the villagers and said: "Master County Sheriff, we are all villagers who have escaped from Qingyang Mansion. Sir Wanwang can point us to a safe place. We just hope that we can stay safe and live."

The county guard's face turned pale and pale for a moment when he heard this, and finally murmured: "Qingyang Mansion is not close..."

The people who were watching were cheering, and they obviously did not expect that the county governor, who was rarely seen in daily life, was so approachable. Compared with the domineering and domineering son of the county governor, Zhu Ping, this county governor was simply a great saint,,,
