This is a man wearing green and yellow robes, holding an embroidered handkerchief and a black and blue bracelet. Traces of rouge and gouache can be seen on his face.
As soon as he appeared, Si Xun could clearly feel that something was not right in the atmosphere.
Not only was his grandfather so angry that he wanted to give him a cane, but several old people who stuck their heads out of the windows also looked at him with resentment.
After thinking for a moment, Si Xun had a rough guess.
And just as the young man guessed, it was even more extreme.
This person's name is Shui Hua Lan, but his real name may not be that, but he always says his name is Shui Hua Lan when he meets people.
Since the Zhaolin Dynasty was defeated by the Fenglang Dynasty, the barren land of Shanyu City and the surrounding areas had become a place of exile.
This is also the reason why Shanyu City looks like this now.
Shui Hua Lan has been doing things to destroy people's families these years. If some Fenglang Dynasty soldiers stationed here are the culprits, then he is an accomplice.
Because he was familiar with this area of Shanyu City, he took the initiative to take the interested soldiers to look for young men, or boys who had not yet grown up.
You don't know why the young man was captured by these soldiers, and you can see the future at a glance.
Most of the boys who have not yet grown up are sold to wealthy families to work as servants, and when they grow up, they become waiters and so on.
There are also some special ones, such as Si Xun, who was trained as a death guard since he was a child.
Those who are sold to a rich man who still has some conscience will have an easier time. Being sold to a rich man with a bad temper or a dark heart will most likely be a miserable experience.
Because of this, many families would hide their children, or disguise them to look dirty and ugly, so that the soldiers would not be interested at all, and they might even spit and say "bad luck".
But it was Shui Hua Lan who did everything right. He had been living here for a long time. How could she not know about any beautiful young men in any house?
After she exposed it and poured a basin of clean water down, even if the clothes were worn out and there was a lot of mud on the face, the original beauty would not be able to escape.
Some families even hid their children in the mountains and told the soldiers that they didn't have them at home, but Shui Hua Lan pointed out that it was of no avail.
In the end, the child was taken away, and the family was left with blood all over the yard because they had offended the soldiers.
"We haven't seen each other for so many years. How old are you, Si Xun?" Shui Hua Lan smiled and walked towards the yard, covering her nose with a silk handkerchief, as if she was quite disgusted with the surrounding environment.
After so many years, he has done so many outrageous things, and he has some wealth. Although he is not rich, at least he has enough to eat and drink.
He was used to living a good life, but he felt extremely disgusted with such an environment in his heart.
If he hadn't wanted to save more money to bribe those Fenglang Dynasty soldiers, Fang Xing, and find a beautiful and big city to enjoy the happiness after leaving Shanyu City, he wouldn't have come here.
Today, Shanyu City is no longer a city in a remote area than it was during the Zhaolin Dynasty, but a place of exile.
It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out.
brush--
When Shui Hua Lan wanted to step into the courtyard, Jiang Zhi brought the guards and pulled out his sword to stop him with an expressionless expression.
"Sir...Sir..." Looking at the long knife that was emitting cold light in front of him, Shui Hua Lan turned pale with fright and took two steps back.
He looked towards the yard, towards Si Xun, and then towards Jiang Zhi.
He was considered a man, so he could tell that the young woman in purple and gold brocade clothes was the one who spoke.
And it can also be seen that the young woman seems to be very fond of Si Xun.
Seeing this, Shui Hua Lan's face, which was covered with heavy makeup to hide wrinkles, smiled again.
"Sir, I am very close to the boy Si Xun. He is his uncle. It was I who brought this boy here to take him away, and then those people had the opportunity to send this boy to you."
Shui Hua Lan felt that Jiang Zhi was able to get the young man because he had half of the credit.
If I had recommended young men to those soldiers back then, this big shot who looked like he had an extraordinary background would not have been able to get young men.
So now he wants to get in touch with this big shot.
If you can get on the line, you will be rich and powerful, and you will never be able to achieve it no matter how hard you work in your life.
But he was wrong about one thing, completely wrong.
If I said this to Ye Yushan, I might actually get some rewards, but this is Jiang Zhi!
"Oh?" Jiang Zhi heard what he said and looked at him.
No wonder my little charming fox looked coldly when seeing this person. It turned out that this guy was the key to the young man's narrow escape from death in the dark blood refining every day.
"Sir, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask Si Xun." When Jiang Zhi looked at him, Shui Hua Lan's joy was beyond words.
"My Wife." Next to him, Si Xun saw Jiang Zhi's left hand behind his back slowly lowering. He quickly stepped forward to hold her arm and shook his head gently.
"Grandpa is here."
"This little bitch..." Shui Hua Lan gritted his teeth and cursed secretly when he saw Si Xun's actions.
He thought Jiang Zhi was going to give him some reward or promise, but the young man stopped him.
"Okay." Jiang Zhi looked at the little charming fox running over and hugged his arm, and responded with a doting look.
Then she looked at an accompanying guard and gave instructions in a cold tone.
"Have it dragged down and dealt with. It's an eyesore."
She wouldn't have thought so much about it. It was just a reptile. It would be the same if it was trampled to death anywhere. Why should she care about her feelings as an ant?
But since it was her little husband who asked, she would still spoil him even if he was spoiled in front of her.
"Yes, young master." A guard received the order and kicked Shui Hualan violently, grabbed her hair and walked out of the village.
At this time, Shui Hualan was confused, holding her stomach and screaming on the ground.
"Ah... Sir... No Sir, I don't want anything, let me go, let me go." He looked at Jiang Zhi with tears streaming down his face.
His eyes were full of fear as he begged for mercy. If he hadn't been dragged by someone, he would have crawled over.
After crying and finding that Jiang Zhi was indifferent, he looked at the young man in white clothes and red belt beside him with resentment.
"Si Xun... You little bitch, bitch... If it weren't for me, how could you have climbed to such a status and wealth, how could you have been here today?"
It is obvious that even now he still feels that it is because of the young man's whispering that his life, which should have been rewarded, is in danger.
The villagers who were persecuted by Shuihualan were all watching this scene with relief, cursing.
"It's not a pity to die..."
"I didn't expect that you, a beast, would have such a day..."
"Have pity on my son, he's only fourteen..."
"God, have mercy on me, my grandson is only five years old..."
.......
The curses and cries seemed to be counting his crimes, and it made him crazy.
"What did I do wrong?"
"If you want to blame someone, blame your sons for not being favored by those soldiers. If you want to blame someone, blame those soldiers. In this chaotic world, where human lives are worthless, what's wrong with me just wanting to make myself live a better life?"
"What did I do wrong?"
Perhaps after knowing his fate, Shuihualan was already insane due to fear, and he roared crazily.
"Maybe you are right, and everyone is right. We all just want to live and live better, but using other people's lives to exchange for your better life, this is the cause, and now you can't bear the result." Si Xun stared blankly ahead, his thoughts flowing in his heart.
"All living beings, even me, I also survived by stepping on blood. Under the choice of life and death, I can only give everything to win that chance of survival. This is also my cause..."
