Chapter 344
early morning
Chu Ke got up early in the morning, and after simply rinsing his mouth, he packed his luggage and prepared to go fishing as usual.

He raised his head and found that today is really sunny, a rare good weather in this season, and he couldn't help but feel very happy.

Just after finishing tidying up, Chu Ke suddenly found that the old man had sat outside the door at some point, and couldn't help but be very puzzled, so he asked.

"Why did you get up so early today?"

Ever since Chu Ke came to help such a guy, the old man has been "lazy" a lot. When did he usually get up so early?
Unexpectedly, the old man ignored him at all, smoking a pipe, staring straight at the direction of the entrance of the town with his eyes dull.

Seeing this, Chu Ke blinked his eyes, thinking that the old man is just dumb, but his ears are still very good, why?
"are you going?"

The voice was silent for a long time, but the old man still ignored him, smoking non-stop as if he had something on his mind.

Chu Ke raised his eyebrows, and then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he immediately looked back at the calendar, only to find that it was indeed this day.

Every year on this day, the old man would draw a red circle on the calendar, and then he would sit at the door blankly, looking at the town far away, as if he had fallen ill.

He doesn't pay attention to anyone who talks to him, as if he only has that inch of land in his eyes.

"Then I'll go first! I'll remember to come here later."

Chu Ke knew that he couldn't call the old man anymore, so he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, and then walked away by himself.

…………

While walking on the road, Chu Ke began to say hello to the familiar hawkers who got up early to work, as well as the old people such as uncles and aunts. Many of these old people are also very familiar with them, so they naturally greeted them one after another.

Just as he was walking out of the gate of the town, he suddenly saw a group of men and horses from a distance. These people were well-earned and neat, like officers and soldiers.

But helplessly, Chu Ke was too far away, and with the tall vegetation in the middle, he couldn't see clearly at all, so he didn't care too much.

Anyway, now that I am a good law-abiding citizen, what do I care what officers and soldiers do?
Thinking of this, he walked outside without looking back.

As everyone knows, because of this incident, his "life" has been completely changed.

…………

At this time, the old man had already arrived at the entrance of the village, found an inconspicuous corner and squatted down. He held a cigarette pouch in his right hand and clenched his left hand tightly. He didn't know what he was holding in his hand that made him so precious.

When other people see it, they are not surprised. There are many people of the older generation who like to sit like this, and it is nothing new.

In this way, about half an hour later, the old man's unavoidable gaze suddenly changed slightly.

Because in his pupils, a long line appeared.

That is... a team of officers and soldiers!

He suddenly stood up, his eyes were extremely bright, if Chu Ke were here, he would definitely find that the light in his eyes was brighter than the sum of countless years!
Seeing the unusual appearance of the old man, other people walking back and forth turned their gazes to the distance one after another, causing a commotion like boiling water.

"That seems to be officers and soldiers from the capital!"

"They are indeed officers and soldiers from the capital city. I took a look at them when I went to the capital city." A big family in the town said triumphantly.

All of a sudden, a burst of envious eyes cast one after another, which made the big family feel very proud.

After a while, the long team of officers and soldiers arrived here, and immediately the leader of the team began to call the surrounding people and said loudly.

"You people, today can be regarded as the smoke of our ancestors, because just half a month ago, our new champion appeared again, and he is an outstanding young man in your town."

As soon as these words came out, there was a frantic discussion immediately, and countless people looked at each other in amazement, unbelievable.

And the old man was even more excited, his hands were clenched tighter than before, as if he was sweating a lot.

The officer and soldier couldn't help sneering when he saw the people in this remote area like this. He looked down on this group of untouchables from the bottom of his heart.

Then, he spoke again.

"Our newly promoted No. [-] scholar showed great kindness. On the day he entered the list, he decided to return to his hometown. He will follow after a while. As his neighbors in the past, you can be said to have accumulated evil virtues in your ancestors and shine on your family!"

What he said was a bit uncomfortable, but after all, it was the mouth of the official, and they didn't dare to refute, so they didn't answer.

At this time, the leading officer and soldier suddenly saw the old man squatting in the corner, raised his eyebrows, and scolded.

"That old guy, get the hell out of here! This town gate is a place that the champion will pass by for a while, and you can't stay here!"

However, even if he said that, the old man still didn't move, just stayed there, completely motionless.

"Just talk about you, you old bastard who can't speak, get out of here!"

The leading officers and soldiers glared at him, but the old man was like Mount Tai, no matter how insulted he was by the officers and soldiers from the capital, he would not move.

Seeing that the old man was so ungrateful, the officers and soldiers finally couldn't help it, and slapped him resoundingly!

"Snapped!"

The loud voice immediately spread in all directions, and the townspeople who were watching the excitement were all startled by this slap, and the joy that was still on their faces before all faded away, replaced by endless shock and excitement. panic.

For a moment, the entire town was completely silent, and everyone was as silent as a cicada, not daring to make a sound at all.

However, even though he was slapped, the old man was still unmoved, and he didn't do anything other than glaring at the leading officer fiercely.

"Where the hell are you from? Why don't you get out of here?! This year's No. [-] scholar will drive there in person. How can a lowly commoner like you dirty such an important place?"

The eyes of the leading officers and soldiers stared very round, like copper bells, and their faces were gloomy and unfriendly.

"Damn it, don't eat the toast and eat the fine wine!"

"Come here, hit me, hit me to death!"

As he spoke, a large group of officers and soldiers came, and immediately picked up various wooden sticks and other things, and beat the old man, without the slightest mercy, and with a happy face, like a hooligan rogue.

"Bang bang bang!"

Under the explosive hammer, the poor old man couldn't speak, and he could only whine in pain when he was beaten, and he couldn't shout at all.

The point is that these officers and soldiers are getting more and more ruthless, playing and laughing while they are beating, and they are enjoying themselves.

After several beatings, there was nothing good about the old man's whole body, and the bruised nose and swollen face were the least injured places on his body.

Afterwards, blood slowly seeped from the old man's face. Although he was physically strong, he was still an old man in his sixties, and he couldn't possibly be compared with a young man.

So, in the end, he finally gave up struggling, lying on the ground, dying, looking out of the town, gasping for breath.

A strong man at the side finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and scolded angrily.

"Hey! Master Guan, why are you so unreasonable! Even if Tan Hualang returns to his hometown to visit his relatives, there is no need to be so entangled in this place!"

"Yes, yes, this old man is us..."

Before he finished speaking, the leading officer and soldier had already turned his head around, gave him a cold look, and then walked to the side.

Then, without further ado, waving was just a slap.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, and the red five-finger prints were deeply imprinted on the big man's face.

For a moment, all the chirping voices disappeared, and what remained was only endless panic and timidity.

"Damn! How can you speak here? Get lost!"

The bossy attitude of the officers and soldiers made everyone very angry, but they still dared not speak out.

"You!" The big man covered his face, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth.

But the leading officers and soldiers intensified their threats again.

"Get the hell out of here!"

"If you don't leave, I'll kill you all!"

"It's just a bunch of untouchables, yet they dare to act presumptuously in front of my master! It's really unreasonable!"

These few words were really effective. Many people who didn't want to offend the official lord retreated one after another, letting the man on the ground gasp with difficulty.

Rao is a big man, his face turns blue and red, and finally retreats after weighing the pros and cons.

The team leader sneered in his heart, thinking that these incompetent people are still afraid of the power in his hands, but he just thought so, and the soldier behind him suddenly said.

"Leader, this old guy is not leaving yet!"

"what?"

The leader turned his head and saw that the old man, who had no strength at all, was holding on tightly to the gate post of the high gate in the town at this time. The blood on his palm could even be seen on the gate post, and he couldn't help feeling angry!
This old guy is really tired and crooked!

A ferocious smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he spoke viciously to the subordinates beside him.

"Since he doesn't want to leave, then kill him for me!"

"I don't believe that if a living person can't be taken away, I can't take a dead body away!"
