Chapter 150 149 A few boys, epiphany
Then Yu Chiyi, Kong Xun, and Jiang Chenxi each had a bowl of rice porridge with clear soup and little water, with brown rice bran floating on it.

The faint and astringent taste made several people want to vomit after tasting it.

Under the oppression of An Xin's eyes, she swallowed again.

Looking at An Xin aggrievedly, "..." Mister, are you a devil?

An Xin ate half a pancake and a bowl of porridge without changing her expression.

Throat-stinging brown rice, porridge made with green vegetables without even a little bit of oil and salt.

Whoever eats it will know the taste of it.

An Xin felt very distressed.

Doesn't she want to eat white flour pancakes with fried eggs that are smooth and golden?

But I am an adult anyway, and I really can't bear to know that those few young children may not even get a piece of white flour pancake.

But they took the eggs that the family was going to exchange for money, of course, into their stomachs.

Although she was not a good person, An Xin really couldn't do such a thing.

When Kong Xun and Yu Chiyi learned that the women and children of Zheng's family didn't even get the pancakes and vegetables they didn't like, and what they ate was the vegetable porridge they despised.

They all silently drank the porridge in the bowl.

Only then did they know that ordinary people lived like this.

Maybe only during the New Year's festival and when the grain is harvested, we can have a few full meals.

Most of the time, even if there is food at home, people will still save for a long time.

After dinner, An Xin and Mr. Zheng sat under a big tree in the yard to enjoy the shade.

He asked casually: "Old village chief, I heard from a leader among those people that what happened to the Qingyun Mountain bandits?"

The old village chief took a sip of the hookah and tapped the pipe before answering her question.

"Qingyun Mountain is not very far from us, about less than a hundred miles away, there are undulating mountains and vast forests.

In the mountains and forests, there is a group of bandits living all year round. They kill people, steal goods, fight and rob houses, commit crimes and do all kinds of evil.

When the county magistrate of Tang was here, he was an upright official. If the group of bandits were too rampant, he would join forces with the county inspector Qin to attack.

Even if the attack fails, it can serve as a warning.

Every time this group of bandits would restrain themselves a lot, they would not dare to come down the mountain easily to harass us common people.

However, since Tang magistrate was promoted to Fucheng as a magistrate a few years ago, and this county magistrate Fan was transferred, I heard that the bandits in Qingyun Mountain have become more and more arrogant.

Now not only blatantly robbing the passing business travelers, but sometimes harassing the people in the nearby villages.

There have even been several incidents of snatching women from good families who went up the mountain to chop firewood or pick wild vegetables over the past few years. "

"This is too arrogant," Yu Chiyi and the others, accompanied by the brothers of the Zheng family, came out of the house and listened to what the old village chief said, and said angrily, "Could it be that County Magistrate Fan doesn't care about it."

"Alas!" Boss Zheng shook his head and sighed, "If he was a clear-minded parent official, the common people here would be oppressed like this by the rich landlord.

How could he turn a blind eye and arrest the person who complained and put him in prison. "

Yu Chiyi was silent.

What he said was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it.
How can I dream of a county magistrate who doesn't even care about the people's fields being forcibly occupied.Still smart and wise, and vigorously lead people to suppress bandits, it seems that he is still too naive.

The few children who were playing in the yard were carried back by their mother to take a bath and sleep.

For a while, no one spoke again.

Kong Xun looked up at a bright moon hanging in the sky, and the silver light sprinkled the fenced yard.

On this day, no matter if you have no choice but to earn tolls and go to work in the field, you step into the muddy mud field with your feet, and you bend over to plant rice seedlings under the hot sun.

Occasionally, there will be a kind of soft-bodied insect called leeches, which will suck blood on their white and clean calves, making them miserable.

I still worked for half a day, not only did not get paid, but also paid for meals.

Up to now, I have seen with my own eyes that the gentry and landlords who dominate one side can even collude with the local government to buy the land that originally belonged to the common people into their own hands.

Recruiting people to work for them at a very low price, becoming their tenant slaves in disguise, and truly becoming a local emperor who dominates one side.

This has refreshed the three views of Kong Xun, who was raised to be a good old man since he was a child.

There are also Qingyun mountain bandits that the old village chief said, not only killing people and stealing goods, but also robbing women from good families and going up the mountain to ravage them.

This made him, who has always been kind, truly realize the evil in human nature.

Kong Xun's eyes looking at the sky became more and more fierce, and the breath on his body became more and more cold.

What happened for so many days made him understand that not all kindness and warmth can be treated with tenderness.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy is tall and tall, looking up at the moon, which makes people feel like looking down on the world.His body faintly carries the innate nobility and elegance of a royal family, which is a kind of majesty that other aristocratic princes do not have.

An Xin smiled slightly, feeling the change in Kong Xun's aura, thinking that this kid is quite enlightened.

No matter where he went through this kind of life experience, his spirit changed from a gentle and jade-like temperament to a cold, wise, elegant and calm Rong Zhi.

Still worthy of that sentence, a person with royal blood flowing through his body.

It's okay to be bound all the time and can't break free.

But the dragon is not always a thing in the pool, and it will change when the wind and cloud meet the dragon.

Now that Kong Xun had broken free from the place that fettered him in the Taifu's mansion, another person sent him to her side to take him out for a tour, to see all kinds of things in the world.

This kid is not stupid, otherwise how could he be admitted to the No. 2 exam with his extraordinary talent when no one is sincere to him, ranking second only to Li Ziyu who he taught.

Li Ziyu is taught by her teacher who is comparable to a great Confucianism, so it is not surprising that she has such profound and broad knowledge.

And this one is just following the gentleman who Taifu Kong invited into the mansion to study casually. It can be seen how smart he is to be able to pass the exam like that.

It was reasonable for him to realize something so quickly.

An Xin turned her head to look at her four cheap disciples, seeing Jiang Chenxi and Yu Chiyi were also bowing their heads in thought, and felt very relieved.

At least two of the four have some insights into what they encountered during this period of time.

This would help their original immature minds to grow, and it would not be in vain for her to indulge that little Ling named Charming Girl and steal all their silver and belongings.

Including accessories on the body and good clothes worth some money.

Fortunately, except for Yu Chiyi who was disgusted by Xiao Ling and An Xin didn't like Yu Chiyi who didn't notify her, the others still trusted her.

He handed over most of the bank notes on his body to himself, which saved the tickets of Kong Xun, Jiang Chenxi, Gao Tai and Chen Qibao from being stolen.

Seeing Gao Tai and Chen Qibao chatting with the Zheng family brothers, An Xin sighed, she wanted to teach these boys out.There is a long way to go!

In the end, before everyone left to wash and go to bed, old village chief Zheng stopped An Xin and told her something about the past of Landlord Qian's house in a low voice.

While this surprised An Xin, it also indirectly confirmed her previous thoughts.
