My Weird Life

Chapter 1142 The fifty-fourth year of Kangxi (12)

 The spring of the forty-ninth year of Kangxi.

In the Huangshan Mountain in Dancheng, Zhili Province, an earth dragon is suspected to have turned over, and 90% of the hunters who went to hunt in the mountains were killed.

 Since then, the news of the appearance of the "Nuwa Stone Carving" in Zhonghuang Mountain spread like wildfire.

At that time, Wu Erkang, a prince from Taiming Prefecture, gathered his friends to explore Zhonghuang Mountain, but no one survived.

 After that, Zhonghuang Mountain and the Taihang Mountains trembled for several days, and all the people at the foot of the mountain moved away.

 Later, officers and soldiers searched this place for several months, but found nothing. The officers and soldiers returned without success.

 …

 In the fifty-first year of Kangxi's reign.

 The emperor deposed ‘Yin Reng’ as the crown prince, and from then on he did not establish another crown prince.

After Yinfeng was deposed, he was imprisoned in the forbidden palace and was not allowed to meet outsiders.

In the capital, rumors spread because Yin Reng was deposed as the crown prince and placed under house arrest. From time to time, fortune teller Zhang claimed that the second elder brother Yin Reng was already dead and fell into the fate of "dragon swallowing the dragon".

Because of this rumor, the imperial court searched the whole city to trace the whereabouts of the fortune teller Zhang, but found nothing.

 …

 The fifty-second year of Kangxi.

Due to the earth dragon crossing the mountain in the Taihang Mountains, the Temple of the Heavenly King moved to Jingshi Mountain in Henan.

At that time, Guan led his disciples to practice in seclusion for three years. When he came out of seclusion, it happened that the "Ten Thousand Eyes of Cree" invaded Luoyang and many surrounding cities. He led his disciples to fight against Li Jue and suppressed the "Ten Thousand Eyes of Cree" on his body. , saving the lives of millions of people from being poisoned by evil spirits.

Taoist Shao was visited by Kangxi and given the title of "Du'e Zhenren".

 At the end of the same year, Shao Shoushan became a Taoist couple with Taoist Su Jue.

 …

 Fifty-fourth year of Kangxi reign.

 The mountains of Taihang shook again, the sound shook thousands of miles, and countless mountains collapsed.

The officers and soldiers sealed off the Taihang Mountains and strictly prohibited the people from entering. They searched the mountains for several months but found nothing.

 …

 Cheep, squeak…

It was just getting dark, and in the gloomy mountains and fields, there was a sound of wheels rolling over the soil.

Along with the noise, the voices of some women crying or laughing were heard one after another in the deserted village at the foot of a hill in the Taihang Mountains along with the cold wind.

“Yesterday, I was so bored that I thought about the man who shot the vulture, lying ill in the boudoir. The two eagles with two arrows were admirable...

I am sick. When will I be able to open my frowning eyebrows..."

“Who loves elegance and high style, and shares the pity for the times and frugality in dressing up..."

“The bright moon is in the sky, as bright as day, and there is a girl sitting there, leaning on the railing in a brothel, exchanging tears..."

 “The sky is long, and the geese are flying...”

The mournful singing or singing sounded for a while, followed by the sound of several whips hitting the flesh, which rang out in the dull night.

A man's scolding came after the crack of the whip: "Be honest! Stop singing! I listened to you singing in the middle of the night and it didn't scare me to death!"

"hehe…"

“That gentleman from the Wang family used to like hearing the Nu family sing “The Brahma Palace” the most…”

"Who is not? Three years ago, the Nu family was also popular in the eight alleys. At that time, Cui Guanren, Uncle Li, the local Qing magistrate, and Zhou Hanlin in the capital were all guests of the Nu family. The Nu family I still remember that Zhou Hanlin’s tongue is much harder than his bottom...

As a result, I was out of business for two months, so I went to a second-class kiln, and a few months later I went to a third- and fourth-class kiln. After that, I received customers in a big thatched shed...

Now I don’t see those Uncle Wang and Uncle Li anymore. There are only the men who pull the carts and the men who tend the crops...

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…”

“Sister, don’t cry.

We are all mortals, so what do we want to do in the past?

 It’s nothing to be sad about…”

Several women reminisced about the past and cried together again.

The sound of mourning and mourning spread far and wide in the mountains and fields.

On the mountain road, two men with many patches on their clothes were pulling a platoon car. Four or five people were sitting in the platoon car. The hair of these people was unkempt, covering their heads like chicken coops and hanging down. Their faces were obscured by their withered grass-like hair, and it was only possible to tell that they were girls from the dirty floral clothes they were wearing. The five women's clothes were thin, and some of them had their cuffs and trouser legs torn, exposing the withered yellow skin underneath.

On their withered skin, there were clusters of diseased pimples like bayberry seeds. Some of the 'bayberry seeds' were branded with red marks - those red marks were all burned on the skin with red-hot iron bars. It was just left behind.

To the left and right of the Paizi car, there are several neatly dressed men wearing melon skin hats, each with a long braid. They are quite tall, with sinewy faces. Each of them holds a stick and a whip, and listens to the women on the Paizi car. They cried and laughed and got impatient, so they picked up whips, ropes and sticks, and tortured several women on the platoon car head and face.

The five women swayed and tried to escape, but they had long since lost much strength. The more they evaded, the more torture they would receive. They simply sat on the cart and allowed themselves to be tortured by the thugs around them.

After this torture, the movement in the Paizi car finally became smaller.

The two men pulled the cart forward in silence until they reached the foot of a certain hill. The thug with triangular eyes in the lead shouted: "Stop!"

 The platoon car stopped at the foot of the mountain.

The thugs waved their whips and sticks again, driving the prostitutes in the car away: "Get off, get off!"

Several prostitutes climbed off the cart and huddled together under the wild locust tree at the foot of the mountain.

 It has already entered winter.

　　It is very cold.

They were all wearing thin clothes, shivering and shivering in the cold wind.

The leading thug looked at several prostitutes, asked them to raise their heads, and lifted the hair covering their faces so that he could identify the faces of these women. In fact, it was not very distinguishable, as the faces of several women were covered with sores. , either with scars from syphilis burned with hot chopsticks, or covered with sores, and even their faces were ruined. If they were sent to a big thatched shed, no one would patronize them.

The reason why the thug leader still needs to identify them is to prevent the wild-minded girls in the prostitute village from pretending to be these useless old prostitutes and taking the opportunity to escape.

These women are said to be old prostitutes, but in fact, none of them are more than twenty-five years old.

 Mostly in their early twenties.

 In his early twenties, his body was already tortured by illness and rapidly deteriorated to the point of death.

“You guys go back to the mountains later and don’t show your face anymore!

If someone sees you outside - I don’t need to say much in the end, right? "The thug leader looked at the prostitutes gloomily and said with a sneer, Miss Liu in Rouge Alley, Cui Baoer in Baishun Alley, Zhen Huakui in Stone Alley... They are not as lucky as you, they are called ' The boss sent them all away with a thin-skinned coffin for each person and a small coffin for each person...

 The corpses were all taken away for marriage!

Now I am sending you to the Taihang Mountains to accumulate some merit for myself.

But you have to be obedient. You can't run out of the mountain and let the "boss" find out that you are still alive. He will have to recover the money for those thin-skinned coffins from me. I don't know how much money I have, but you yourself don't have it. Live!

 Do you understand? ! "

 The five prostitutes each nodded.

“Okay, then you go to the mountains.

 I'm watching you here. When you go far away, we will go again! "The thug leader sneered a few times and pouted at a subordinate next to him, "Give them a red lantern! "

The subordinate immediately dropped the red lantern tied with paper on the ground.

 A prostitute bent down and picked up the red lantern.

 The red firelight reflected the gloomy faces of several thugs.

Several prostitutes laughed miserably, and followed the prostitute holding the red lantern, wandering past the wild locust trees and walking towards the Taihang Mountains.

In fact, how are these people accumulating virtue for themselves?

With their desolate bodies, if they go to the mountains where the earth dragon had just turned over, they will die soon.

Even the corpses were scrambled for, and the prostitutes who could marry their own families were also well-known courtesans... The reason why these people could still breathe and wait to die in the mountains was because they had not been there before. She became so popular that she became an oiran.

Several thugs stood at the foot of the mountain, watching a red lantern in the dark sky swaying into the mountains.

They waited for a while longer, until the light of the lantern disappeared completely, and then turned around, still letting the two turtle slaves in ragged clothes pull the cart and return the same way.

Under the dark sky, the thug leader's curse resounded: "Fuck him!

It’s getting so dark!



 We will stop in the deserted village ahead and spend the night there.

After tonight, we will rush back in the daytime tomorrow..."

 “Okay, sir!”

 “It’s all up to you!”

“Hmph, listen to me, and you will have more food to eat.

 Your share of money will be indispensable later! "

"hey-hey…"

 “Sir, you are so generous!”
