Mortal Mirror

The county sheriff looked at the silver note in his hand, and a hint of a smile finally appeared under his majesty. Then he said, "Boy, I think you're quite sensible, and your future is bright.

The townships below aren't very short of people, so you can stay in the county office and follow Officer Wang.

You martial artists who have just passed the exam will have a one-year internship before you can become real constables. The road ahead is long, and you still need to work hard."

Li Er Gou was speechless when he heard this. He didn't expect such a thing. Although he was unhappy, it was okay to become a real constable after a year.

After figuring this out, he said happily, "Thank you, sir, for your promotion. I will definitely work hard."

The county sheriff waved his hand and let him leave.

Li Er Gou was overjoyed. In any case, he was a martial artist. Soon he found Officer Wang, who issued him the attire and badge of a martial artist.

There was even a martial arts cultivation method. This was standard equipment for constables of the Great Xia Dynasty. With this, he could use martial arts True Qi openly in the future. He was very excited.

Looking at the badge, it was made of black iron. On one side, the two large characters 'Martial Artist' were written in the middle, and a line of small characters 'Bitter Water County' was written below. On the other side was his name, Li Er Gou, and the two characters 'Constable'. Looking at this badge, he was very happy, thinking, 'Doesn't this mean I've made a name for myself? I'm already eating from the government's pot.'

He was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

No matter where it is, if someone passes the martial artist exam, they will be pulled to patrol the streets. Li Er Gou was no exception. Because five people in Tiangou Town passed the martial artist exam this year, the town chief was particularly happy.

Li Er Gou wore a big red flower and rode a tall horse on the street. He couldn't be happier.

In the dark corner of the street, a beggar with a dirty body, disheveled hair, and crippled legs suddenly widened his eyes when he saw Li Er Gou's appearance. His eyes were filled with disbelief and incomparable resentment. He suddenly shouted desperately, "Li Er Gou, you despicable villain, I curse you to die a horrible death, a horrible death!"

This person was Huang Ba Tian. At this moment, he only felt that all of this should be his, but the person sitting on the tall horse was actually the mud-legged person he looked down on the most.

At this moment, he only felt that the sky had fallen, and his world view had collapsed.

The landlord's wife heard her son's shouting and ran over with a dirty face. When she saw her son, she was extremely excited. She immediately looked at Li Er Gou, who was receiving blessings from everyone on the street.

The landlord's wife widened her eyes in disbelief. Was this the person she scolded every day? She was timid in her heart. Her first thought was whether Li Er Gou would retaliate against her.

Unexpectedly, Huang Ba Tian's voice alarmed countless people, and also alarmed the town chief. Such a major event, a beggar dared to curse a martial artist, it was simply unbearable.

The constables in the town immediately ordered several people to run over and beat Huang Ba Tian. The landlord's wife protected her son and was also beaten half to death.

Huang Ba Tian never dreamed that the crowd was noisy, and Li Er Gou didn't hear his scolding at all.

At this moment, it was a mess over there. Li Er Gou looked over curiously, wondering what happened. The constable accompanying him said, "Hey, it's nothing, just a dog barking, and someone has already cleaned it up."

Li Er Gou nodded slightly and didn't care. He did remember that it was a pity. It would be great if he could let the landlord's family see him today. He wanted to see what their family's faces would look like.

However, life is unsatisfactory, and nine times out of ten. Huang Shu Lang couldn't see such a glorious scene. It was a pity that he didn't know where Huang Ba Tian was, otherwise, he would have dragged him over to see it.

He couldn't help thinking badly.

Li Er Gou walked through the crowd, as if inspecting the team. He felt so comfortable in his heart.

Lu Chang Sheng and Big White Elephant were on both sides of the street cheering and happy for him. Zhu Da Qiang also greeted him with a smile and prepared good wine and food in the restaurant, waiting for Li Er Gou to finish and invite him to dinner.

Enjoy life to the fullest when you are successful. Li Er Gou only felt that his life seemed to have reached its peak. It was so comfortable. No wonder so many people are willing to be officials. This feeling can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words.

In the evening, Li Er Gou exchanged cups with famous people in the town. In front of the crooked-neck tree next to the City God Temple, Huang Ba Tian, who was beaten half to death, finally broke down.

He wasn't sad when his father died, and he wasn't desperate when his family was ruined, but when he saw Li Er Gou become a martial artist, he felt that his entire spiritual world had collapsed. He couldn't accept it, he really couldn't accept it. In his opinion, what in this world could be more cruel than this?

He untied his waistband, threw it on the crooked-neck tree, and took another look at this evil society. Then he put his head in, kicked his legs, and died.

Early the next morning, the landlord's wife woke up and saw her son hanging on the tree, his eyes wide open and his tongue sticking out. She couldn't accept it and went crazy. From then on, Tiangou Town had another legend of a crazy woman who ate dead children.

Huang Ba Tian's body was discovered by the people who maintained the City God Temple. They were furious, blaming him for dying in the wrong place, insisting on dying here, and making him clean up the mess. Naturally, he was unhappy, so he couldn't help spitting on him a few times, scolding him a few times for being a hanged ghost, and then took the body down and threw it into the mass grave, letting the wild dogs gnaw on it.

Alas, the cycle of heaven, retribution is not good, Huang Ba Tian's family really fell apart from then on.

Li Er Gou stayed with everyone drinking all night. It was the first time in his life that he got up late. The sun was shining on his butt before he packed up. Then he rode the Black Beard Goat and took the Black Cat out of the martial arts hall. To his surprise, the curator was waiting here with a group of boxers.

Zhu Da Qiang first gave him a big hug, and then said with a smile, "You are the glory of our martial arts hall, Er Gou. I'm optimistic about you, the future is promising."

To his surprise, Niu Da Li and Liu Da Chui were both there. The two of them were like his old friends for many years. They all came up to hug him and said heartfelt words. They weren't embarrassed at all, as if they were really good friends and good brothers.

Then all the boxers hugged him, shook hands, and waved goodbye enthusiastically. Some people even cried with tears in their eyes.

Li Er Gou felt that his head was not enough. He thought, 'Are we so familiar? What are you crying for?' What made him sigh even more was that at this moment, he felt that these people had suddenly become better, and had all become his good friends and good brothers. No longer looked down on him, despised him, or disliked him as before.

For a time, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't help but think of Mr. Li Zheng An's words, 'As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement. When you become strong, there will be no more bad people around you, and they will all become better.' See, how good, his own strength can also change other people's character.

Everyone sent him off all the way. Li Er Gou still left. At the head of the town, Big White Elephant and Lu Chang Sheng were waiting here. When he saw the two of them, Li Er Gou smiled, and his smile was extremely bright.
