Chapter 2 Past and Present
Gu Qing has been an orphan for two lifetimes. His fate is like a hysterical crazy woman, aiming at him and pulling the trigger again and again, and the gun hits him.
In his previous life, he was thrown at the door of an orphanage at birth and grew up with a group of children who were also orphans. In addition to lacking family affection and having to compete with his peers for limited life resources in a rough way, in other respects he was not like all ordinary people.
Everyone is the same, reading, working, setbacks, growing up, having short-term happiness, and also having knots that cannot be let go.
In the middle of the night when he was awakened by a nightmare, Gu Qing, who had been suffering from insomnia for a long time, had a mental breakdown and drank a whole bottle of liquor in one breath. When he woke up again, he had passed through the halo of time and arrived in this barren mountain village.
In the ninth year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, haha, this crazy bitch, fate, missed the mark this time?
In this life, Gu Qing is still not treated well by the world.
He is still an orphan, in fact this village is a combination of orphans, widows and elderly village.
The world is not at peace these days, with Tubo in the west, Uighurs in the north, and the Nanzhao tribes in the south, etc. Shuzhou belongs to the vassal town of Jiannan Road, and foreign campaigns are quite frequent. Nowadays, most of the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are hired.
, so many young men in the village threw away their farm tools and voluntarily joined the government soldiers, exchanging their lives for military honors and food.
In recent years, some people have indeed earned military honors, and some have been promoted to military attachés. They returned home happily with dozens of subordinates, and the next day they left the village with their parents, wives, and children, and moved their families to the relatively prosperous Qingcheng County.
However, more people died in the battle. After the war, casualties were counted, official records were made, and hundreds of copper coins were thrown at home as compensation.
Most of the fathers of the children in the village died in the war, leaving orphans and widowed mothers struggling to support their broken families. There were also veterans who were lucky enough to survive, but they were all disabled with missing arms and legs.
So many young men died in the battle, but people in the village still went forward to join the army.
This is not surprising. Even if there is only one in a thousand chance of success, young people will not give up. For them, the fear of living in this small mountain village for the rest of their lives is stronger than the fear of being killed by swords. If they join the army, they may die in battle.
, but will not starve to death.
This mountain village is too barren. More than ten acres of low-grade farmland at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain has to support more than 100 people in the village. Such pitiful Susukita even the nearby landowners are too lazy to annex. So the only good news is that although the village is poor, everyone
Basically they all belong to the same class, well, they are all poor peasants. There are no landlords in the village, and the fields are cultivated by each family.
This is a mountain village with no hope. Young people are not willing to spend their lives in this hopeless village. However, women, children and the elderly hope that the mountain village will always be peaceful and peaceful, so they can spend the rest of their lives half-starved and half-fed.
The exception is that Gu Qing's parents were not killed in the battle, but disappeared.
One night many years ago, his parents entrusted Gu Qing to a neighbor, and then left Shiqiao Village in panic. It was said that they were avoiding their enemies. Because the future was dangerous and life and death were unknown, the couple could not bear to involve Gu Qing, so they left him in the village.
Here, for them, being an orphan is better than being dead.
Relying on the money left by his parents, Gu Qing spent his childhood without enough to eat and starve to death. As he got older, the food expenses left by his parents were almost spent. Fortunately, in addition to money, his parents also left him a
Gu Qing learned to farm under the guidance of the village elders at the age of ten. After paying the government taxes every year, he could barely support himself.
As for whether his parents are alive or dead, what background they have, and why they have enemies, Gu Qing doesn't care at all about these issues.
We are not familiar with each other, and it will be a sunny day if we are all well.
…………
Gu Qing squatted on the stone steps in front of the door, staring blankly at the green mountains in the distance. His eyes were confused and his hands unconsciously rubbed back and forth on his thighs.
He felt indescribably depressed. It had been two days since he came to this world, and he was still in an inexplicable state of confusion. It felt like he was in a dream. This dream was still going on endlessly, and he couldn't wake up even if he wanted to.
Song Gensheng stood timidly behind him, his eyes filled with awe.
This boy he had played with since he was a child became so unfamiliar overnight, leaving Song Gensheng at a loss. In the past, Gu Qing was honest and cowardly, and anyone could bully him. But since yesterday, everything has changed. Not only is Gu Qing no longer cowardly,
He also directly destroyed the Ding brothers, the bullies at the top of the pyramid in Shiqiao Village. The sheep instantly turned into evil tigers, achieving a gorgeous counterattack.
Song Gensheng's emotions at this moment were very complicated. He seemed to see the future of Shiqiao Village saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. The old village bullies fell, and a new generation of village bullies rose like stars. From then on, they led a group of scoundrels to run rampant in the countryside and snatch baskets from the villagers.
The eggs in...
Gu Qing didn't realize that the image in his eyes had turned into the upgraded version of Village Bully 2.0. He rubbed his face in confusion and sighed.
Once it's come, let's make peace with it. Otherwise, what else can you do? If you don't want to be manipulated by fate, you have the guts to commit suicide.
It's better to die than to live, so you might as well pick up the bowl and say sincerely, "It smells so good."
"You...be careful of the Ding brothers." Song Gensheng pursed his lips.
"Huh?" Gu Qing glanced back at him, frowned, leaned forward and put his head in front of the water tank to look at himself, then looked at Song Gensheng, showing a proud smile.
Although he has an unhappy face, his facial features are still very reasonable, and he looks like he has a unique decadent temperament that is charming. Song Gensheng, on the other hand, looks relatively ordinary.
"You're not as good-looking as me." Gu Qing concluded with a tone that left no room for doubt.
"Ah?" Song Gensheng was a little confused, the channel was wrong.
"Appearance is justice, so hang out with me from now on." Gu Qing paused and said, "What did you just say?"
Two sentences, three jumps, Song Gensheng was a little panicked, as if he had been washed away by a big wave. - Am I abandoned by the times? Otherwise, why can't I understand what he said?
"The Ding brothers will not give up. You have to be careful about them." Song Gensheng repeated.
Gu Qing's eyes flashed and he sneered: "Just two rats."
Song Gensheng was stunned for a moment and said: "You almost killed them today. Ding Dalang is used to his rampage. How can he be subjected to such a great humiliation? They will definitely take revenge."
Gu Qing said nonchalantly: "Then let's take revenge. How can we expect two scoundrels who can only bully women, children, old and young in the village to be very successful?"
Because of poverty, it is more innocent. There are not so many troubles in the village. The neighbors are already living a very difficult life and have no energy to form gangs. On weekdays, all matters in the village are discussed and decided by a few elderly people.
, In today's era, most of the grassroots forces to consolidate rule and maintain public security rely on clan elders in the countryside. Unless there is a major criminal case, it will be reported to the county government.
Therefore, Gu Qing did not take the Ding brothers to heart. Although the two brothers were village tyrants, they had always fought alone. They were not capable of organizing an evil force. As for how to make the Ding brothers honest, Gu Qing had a lot of ideas.
Simple, just more ruthless.
It makes sense that evil people will be punished by evil people. Gu Qing is the evil person who is more evil than the Ding brothers.
Seeing that Gu Qinghun didn't care, Song Gensheng tried to persuade him, but recalling Gu Qing's vicious methods against the Ding brothers, Song Gensheng wisely shut up.
The person who can dig a big hole in his own yard and invite you to the urn must be a ruthless character. You must respect and look up to ruthless characters.
Suddenly thinking of something, Song Gensheng couldn't help but ask: "Yesterday and today, what do those two words you forced the Ding brothers to call out mean?"
Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, and then explained with a serious face: "'Dad' is the barbarian language of the Western Regions. It means surrender and submission. It can also express respect. It is a ritual for the loser to express to the winner that he will no longer resist.
"
Song Gensheng was suddenly stunned, his mouth opened in an O shape. Although he didn't understand how a poor boy in a mountain nest could understand the language of foreign barbarians, this mysterious and high-end ritual instantly conquered Song Gensheng.
The reason why strong people are strong is because they have a tough mind, ruthless methods, and knowledge unknown to ordinary people.
Gu Qing has become very strange, but he has undoubtedly become a strong man. How can you not respect the strong?
So Song Gensheng stared at Gu Qing's face with burning eyes. Gu Qing didn't hear any movement for a long time and turned to look at Song Gensheng. Their eyes met. Seeing that Song Gensheng's eyes seemed wrong, Gu Qing was also stunned and looked at him inexplicably.
"dad!"
