C4 (1/2)
The moonlight was misty like water, and a few lonely bird cries echoed in the vast valley.
In the darkness of the night, two people sneaked out of the carriage. It was Qiao Nan and Uncle Zhang.
”Go.”
The two horses galloped in the dark night.
They rode on a cloud of dust and chased after the wind at an extremely fast speed. Soon, they disappeared into the boundless night sky.
”Young Master, Tianwu County is up ahead.” A towering city appeared before their eyes. Even with the speed at which he chased the wind, it took him seven days to reach his destination.
”Tianwu County, we have finally arrived, ride!” Just as the sun was about to rise from the east, Qiao Nan whipped his horse and rode towards Tianwu City.
At this moment, the city gates had just opened and a dozen soldiers were maintaining order. There were already many people lining up outside the city to enter.
Most of these people were some vegetable farmers from the nearby countryside. They had entered the city to catch up with the morning market, making it easier for them to sell vegetables.
Qiao Nan and Uncle Zhang both dismounted and walked behind the group.
”Pa!” A crisp slap broke the hazy morning silence.
”You want to enter the city without paying? Who do you think you are? Do you think it's your house? ”Old man, if you don't have any money, then what f * cking city are you in? Scram to the side for laozi.”
”Pa!” A whip landed on the body of an old man.
”Sir, sir, it's not that I don't know the rules, it's just that a few days ago, my old woman was sick and the money was already used to buy medicine.” Sir, Sir, it's not that I'm not aware of the rules, it's just that a few days ago, my old woman was sick and the money was used to buy medicine.
An old man was carrying two loads of vegetables, and his gait was even a little unsteady. Being scolded by a young soldier while pointing at his own nose, all he could do was smile.
”If everyone was like you and didn't go back, get lost. If you don't, do you believe I won't whip you to death?” A few soldiers pushed the old man away. The old man staggered and the burden on his shoulders slipped. He lost weight and fell to the ground. All the food had been spilled.
”Drag him to the side.” The leader of the soldiers was sitting on a chair with an impatient expression on his face. Several soldiers immediately went forward and dragged the old man away.
”My food, my food, that's a lifesaving dish!” The old man's voice was quiet as he swallowed hard, his tears almost falling from his anxiousness.
However, he was forcefully dragged away by these people and tossed to the side. The old man still wanted to get up to pick up his food.
”Want to pick it up?” ”Hehehehe …”
Several soldiers laughed and even used their feet to trample on the fresh food on the ground.
”My food, my food.” The old man kneeled on the ground and cried out.
”Sir, if you don't want people to enter the city then don't enter the city. Why are you treating an old man like this?”
”This is his life saving money, how can you guys bear to trample on it?”
The others could not bear to watch any longer and started to criticize him.
”What, do you want to try and get out of it? Come, I want to see who dares to waste words with me! ” Suddenly, dozens of soldiers rushed out of the city and surrounded the people outside.
