After talking to Diao Chan, Tao Shang took the lead in walking out of the main hall of Situ Mansion. Suddenly, he saw Xu Chu, Pei Qian, Pei Guang, Pei Jing and Pei Ben squatting on the ground, with his ears pressing against the wall and eavesdropping on the words inside...

The Tao merchant's cheek twitched a few times... If it weren't for the fact that he would have to charge against these rotten garlic in the future, I really wanted to chop them up now.

Later generations said that after the heroes such as Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, they slaughtered meritorious officials, cunning rabbits died, and lackeys cooked...

In fact, judging from the current situation, Lao Zhu and others' blood-blooded emperors' practices are not without their reasons... Maybe Han Xin, Lu Wan, Li Shanchang, and Lan Yu also had the bad habit of lying in the corner of the emperor and listening to the room.

"Does it sound good?" Tao Shang showed his white teeth, and his smile on his face was particularly creepy at this moment: "You guys are so leisurely..."

Xu Chu and others were shocked when they heard this, and they all jumped up and looked at each other, their expressions were very awkward.

Diao Chan also came out with the pottery merchant at this moment. Seeing this, her pretty face blushed and lowered her head in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

Xu Chu first came to his senses and gave a wink at the Pei brothers. Then he saw the five people tidy up their clothes, stood up straight, clasped their fists, greeting Tao Shang and Diao Chan with a solemn expression: "The last general Xu Chu (Pei Qian, Pei Guang, Pei Ben, Pei Jing), pay homage to the eldest son, met Miss Diao Chan, and pay tribute to the eldest son and Miss Diao Chan..."

"Treat! I've been playing hooligans and showing off my looks, get out and get out of the trap."

"promise……"

After packing the horses, the group went out of Luoyang City. The carriage was chased and thrown to Wang Yun who was left with Yuan Shao, and Diao Chan also rode back with Tao Shang and others on a horse.

The Tao merchant did not expect Diao Chan to be very good at riding. It was really surprising that a bright woman rode a horse so skillfully.

A woman from the northwest, even though she grew up in the Sili area, still had a cool and cool atmosphere in her bones, but she just kept her hidden.

After leaving the west gate of Luoyang, I saw the blue sky and sunshine. At some point outside the west gate, many refugees gathered.

Many refugees were still wearing colors, making painful cry and crying. Three and three groups, two and two groups. When they saw the pottery merchants coming, many refugees were so scared that their faces were pale and they all hid to the sides of the official road, as if they had seen a flood of beasts.

The pottery merchant's face was rarely solemn... It seems that these refugees were extremely scared by the Xiliang soldiers at the beginning, but now they all became frightened birds. As long as they saw it, they didn't ask which princes they were under, they were afraid that they would not be able to hide.

Of course, not all refugees are like this. There are still a large number of people, all of whom are lonely, like walking corpses, as if they have lost the motivation to live, just sitting there waiting for death to come.

Diao Chan felt a pain in her heart when she saw it, and tears quietly appeared in her eyes, making her look misty.

"What's wrong?" Tao Shang saw the woman in front of him crying, and for some reason he felt distressed. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief and handed it to her.

"It's okay..." Diao Chan took the handkerchief, shook her head gently, and sneered: "After so many years, no matter how chaotic the world is, the surrounding areas of Luoyang are still prosperous and peaceful... I really never dreamed that one day, this place would become like this."

"All things in the world are ultimately reasonable and law-based... But many things are ultimately not controlled by our human power." The Taoist merchant sighed: "The world is cold and the world is unkind. Some things are either natural disasters or man-made disasters, and you cannot resist them... Don't be too sad."

Diao Chan shook her head and said, "Young Master, you are a child of an official family, but you don't understand. The younger sister was sent out since childhood. She has no father or mother. She is raised by her adoptive father. Even the close relatives have forgotten what it looks like... Now Dong Zhuo has poisoned the world, and many people have become younger sisters again..."

When the Tao merchant heard this, he smiled bitterly and laughed.

If you lose your parents, you can still talk to others... I have traveled to this era. My original parents were afraid that they would never see each other again in this life, but they dared not say it, nor could they say it...

But despite this, the pottery never showed a trace of sorrow. His previous life was not smooth. He also encountered many suffocating setbacks in society. After traveling through time, he lost everything in his previous life, but he still remained optimistic. He believed that there is no way out for the world... People who love to laugh, cheerful people, and people who are not petty will always have more luck than those who like to complain and accuse others of pickyness.

Diao Chan seemed to feel something and turned her head curiously to look at him.

Tao Shang's expression was quite lonely at this moment, and his eyes looked into the distance and were stunned. He obviously thought of something sad... But what was amazing is that even so, there was still a smile on his lips that he would never fade away.

In the eyes of every person who knows the pottery, this young man has almost no moment to keep smiling.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

The pottery was pulled back to reality by the voice, turned his head and said, "It's nothing, I just remember some past events."

"Unhappy past?"

The potter did not answer.

Diao Chan said softly: "In the impression of the little sister, the young master seems to have never been unhappy. No matter what happens, the young master will be calm and chat and laugh."

Tao Shang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "In the eyes of the girl, am I so heartless?"

Diao Chan shook her head and said seriously: "It's not that she is heartless, but that she is free and easy."

The Tao merchant was stunned when he heard this.

After a while of silence, he saw him laughing and said, "It's not easy to say, but people still have to be happy when they live. No matter how difficult it is, crying is still a day, and laughing is also a day... It's always good to smile more, and luck likes to favor those optimistic people more."

Diao Chan pointed her pointed chin with her slender fingers and said playfully: "If the little girl is not happy in the future, she will have to bother the young master to give me some advice."

Tao merchant shrugged and smiled, "Tao does his best."

The two of them talked and chatted, and stopped, but they wiped out the sadness that had just happened.

Suddenly, Xu Chu, who was behind Tao Shang, frowned and tilted his head to look at the side of the official road.

I saw five refugees covered in dust and dirty but still dressed in gorgeous clothes, forming a circle, curled up on the ground with their hands holding their heads and ragged half-grown children in ragged and kicked hard. One of the fat men, who seemed to be 160 or 70 pounds, simply sat on the child's body, and his huge fist fell on the child's slender body like raindrops.

"Stinky girl! Let you steal our dry food! Let you steal our dry food!"

Xu Chu clenched the fist in his hand and roared angrily: "A man! What are you doing? Five seven-foot strong men, beat the weak with such a fierce move! Are you considered human?!"

The pottery frowned, changed direction by horse racing, and led the crowd to the waiting.

Although the five strong men heard Xu Chu's shouting, they didn't take it seriously. They turned around and tried to argue for a few words, but found that there were actually a team of officials... and they were all wearing armor and with swords and halberds. Their arrogance immediately became depressed.

The men put away their vicious expressions, stopped and dared not hit them again, stood up and stood aside honestly.

The pottery came to them by horses, looked down at the girl who was curled up on the ground and could not stand up. She looked at the five strong men and said coldly: "Why hit people?"

One of the strong men swallowed a mouthful of foam, and the expression on his face was obviously quite resentful to Tao Shang and Xu Chu meddling in other people's affairs, but when he saw the armor and weapons on Xu Chu and the soldiers of the Tiger Guard, he was timid and afraid to attack.

"She...she...she stole our dry food..."

Tao Shang sighed after hearing this and shook his head helplessly.

Although the clothes on these five men are dirty, they look like they are made of good fabrics. I think they should have been rich people around Luoyang City at the beginning...

Unfortunately, they suffered a disaster, were displaced, lost their homes, and all of them became refugees... Today, for the sake of dried fruits, the rich family fell from humans and became beasts... or even beasts were not as good as beasts.

People's lives are worse than dogs in troubled times.

However, although they did something wrong, they were also forced by this world... The pottery merchant did not fall into the same situation as them, so what qualifications do they have to criticize their behavior? People outside the room will never know the pain and despair of the people inside the room.

"Do we have dry food?" The pottery turned to ask Xu Chu.

Xu Chu nodded and said, "I brought some with me."

"Take some out for them." Tao Shang told Xu Chu, then took out a few Wuzhu coins from the purse in his arms, and bent down from the horse and handed them to the men.

The men seemed a little unbelievable, and took the money and dry food tremblingly, stuttered to thank the pottery merchant and Xu Chu. Then, as if they were afraid that they would repent, they ran away without looking back.

Xu Chu looked at the figures of the five people running away, snorted heavily, looked down at the girl who was still curled up on the ground, and said to Tao Shang: "Young Master, what... should I do?"

The Tao merchant turned over and dismounted, turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "Help her up and take a look."

But before the soldiers came forward, Diao Chan had already turned off the horse, walked quickly to the child, reached out and gently helped the little girl up from the ground.

"Little sister, are you okay?" Diao Chan asked softly.

The beaten little girl looked about twelve or thirteen years old. Although she was young, she could also tell that she was in normal shape. There was also a huge red birthmark on her right cheek, and she was thin and slim like a malnourished chick.

Tao Shang thought secretly that the five big men were so fierce to this girl just now. It must be because she looked ordinary and had not yet grown up. In addition, she had birthmarks on her face. Not only was she not cute at a young age, but she also looked quite ugly. She was prone to nightmares at night, so she punched and kicked her for some dry food.

If the person who stole dry food was Diao Chan, those five men would probably have knelt down and served food with both hands, and they would not be abrupt and beautiful woman even if they starved to death.

Human nature is so realistic and ugly.

After being helped by Diao Chan, the little girl stood there with difficulty. She raised her head, her eyes looked extremely empty. When she looked at everyone, her eyes were not blinking, and she turned gloomy... and she looked at Tao Shang's body with hair.

It was such a horrifying look, and I didn't even blink my eyes.

In the impression of the pottery, this kind of look can only be shown by felines... It's so terrible. This is not a human eye that should have.

But the girl's next move explained the reason for her empty eyes.

But I saw the girl bent down and squatting on the ground, reaching out and touching the ground, touching it... until she grabbed a bamboo pole that was neither long nor short on the ground, and then she slowly stood up with her point.

Seeing this, Tao Shang suddenly realized... No wonder his eyes were so empty and scary. It turned out that this little girl was blind.
