Emperor of Hongshi

"Brother, I'm scared!"

Hongshi touched the back of his head and comforted him, "It's all right, don't be afraid."

"Don't dawdle, hurry up!" Just as Hongshi was comforting Xiaomu, an officer and soldier directly yelled at Hongshi and the others, waving a whip.

Hong Shi frowned and glanced at him, then pulled Xiao Mu to go inside, and the big man who was in the prison car just now followed them.

This big man is called Niu Yuquan, he is a rough guy, and there is a blind old lady at home.

It was because the family paid the taxes a little late, and the county magistrate made things difficult for him, and then he was sent here.

Speaking of the blind old lady at home, even a big man couldn't help crying.

"This place looks scary..." After walking for a while, Xiaomu looked at Hongshi timidly, with fear in his eyes.

Hongshi pulled him to his side, and then walked inside with the big man following the flow of people.

When I walked inside, I saw a group of people scrambling to eat the rice in a big wooden barrel, and they were all robbed in no time.

Among the group of people who just came in, one person saw everyone eating and wanted to go up to eat, but just as he ran over, he was beaten up by a soldier.

"What do you eat? This meal is for those who complete tasks every day. You guys who just came here didn't do anything. If you want to eat, then do enough work and dig a certain amount of gold. Otherwise, there will be no food and you will have to be whipped."

As the soldier spoke, he flicked his whip with his hand.

The sound of the whip was crisp and loud, and many people couldn't help shaking in fright.

Hongshi touched Xiaomu, and then walked in with Niu Yuquan. As soon as they got inside, a soldier stuffed each of them with a basket, a shovel and a hammer, and then drove them over. They went to mine.

Hongshi silently followed the crowd towards the mine, squatted down together, and started digging towards the mine.

After digging for a while, Xiaomu still started to cry. Hiroshi looked at him with a headache, "What's wrong with you, why are boys still crying and crying?"

Hongshi couldn't understand, Xiaomu was an orphan, and he should have learned to be tactful after years of being away, how could this be more delicate than his golden and precious elder brother.

"I don't want to either, I'm just afraid that if I don't dig enough, I won't be able to eat..." Xiaomu's voice became softer as he spoke.

But Hongshi quickly understood that Xiaomu lived a life of hunger and fullness since he was a child, and he was not afraid of anything except hunger, so it was the most painful thing to see that there was food but not being able to eat.

Hongshi said with a smile, "Don't worry, isn't there us here? You can't dig enough and we will help you."

When Xiaomu heard this, he immediately beamed with joy, but Niu Yuquan on the other side disagreed, "He has grown up, why are you so spoiled by him? Have suffered so much."

Niu Yuquan still had a good impression of Hongshi. Although he came from a noble background, he didn't have the dandyism of those noble sons. Instead, he was gentle and willing to endure hardships and stand hard work. Compared with ordinary sons, he did not know how many times stronger.

Even so, Niu Yuquan was still a little worried. Although Hongshi was willing to endure hardships and stand hard work, he hadn't done much hard work after all. Now being forced to do such a thing here, it would be hard for any arrogant person to bear.

After all, Niu Yuquan is old, so he understands that feeling very well, but Hongshi has no such feeling at all, and instead comforts those who are in trouble with his heart, such a person is really rare.

"I'm fine, don't worry, I can still endure this bit of suffering." Hongshi said with a smile, and then continued mining with Niu Yuquan and the others.

Hongshi was severely caught by Yinzhen since he was a child, plus there was such a strict person as Jing Yu teaching martial arts, Hongshi had suffered a lot.

This bit of physical work is really nothing to him.

Compared with Jing Yu's fierceness when he taught martial arts, Hong Shi felt that the coolies in this place were really not so easy.

After digging for a whole afternoon, Hongshi and the others not only completed the mining requirements as required, but even exceeded the requirements by more than twice.

Therefore, the smiles on the faces of the soldiers guarding them increased a lot, and they were allowed to eat first.

Hongshi smiled and thanked him, and then went to eat with Niu Yuquan and the others. Xiaomu hadn't had a full meal for a long time, so he ate bowl after bowl. Instead, it was Hongshi who ate because of his childhood cultivation. It's elegant and fast, and you'll be full in no time.

At this time, almost everyone had finished their work and came to grab a meal. Hongshi and the others immediately moved away, anyway, they were already full.

Only Xiaomu was still in the crowd and dug another bowl of rice for himself. However, there was an elderly man in the crowd who dug mines for the whole afternoon because his legs and feet were not smooth. Said, but was pushed to.

The others continued to grab the food as if they didn't see it, but Hiroshi frowned, then took the bowl of rice that Xiao Mu was about to eat, and gave it to the old man.

The old man quickly thanked him, and when he saw Hongshi dressed in aristocratic attire, he thought he was someone from above, so he was too scared to say anything.

Hongshi comforted him with a smile, and then came back, but Xiaomu kept complaining that Hongshi robbed him of his meal.

"You're young, it won't hurt to eat less, and you ate so much just now, you're not too full, the old man is already so hungry, what's wrong with you giving up the bowl of rice?"

Xiaomu was still complaining, but when he heard what Hongshi said, he immediately shut up and left without saying anything.

Seeing him turn around and leave, Niu Yuquan looked at Hongshi and said, "Young man, I know you have a good heart, but it's useless in this place where people cannibalize people. This is a place where the weak eat , you helped him once, it is impossible to help him in the future. And that Xiaomu, he is not as simple as you see."

Hongshi looked at Niu Yuquan in thought. He knew that Niu Yuquan was reminding him, but he really didn't do anything, and Xiaomu was pretty good, right?

Looking at Hongshi's confused eyes, Niu Yuquan knew that Hongshi didn't listen to what he said, and didn't understand what he said, so he didn't say much, just shook his head and walked away.

This kind of thing, no matter how others mention it, it's not as good as figuring it out by yourself, so Niu Yuquan just pointed it out.

After Niu Yuquan left, Hongshi stayed in place for a long time before catching up. The place where they slept at night was a large cave, which was full of Datong shops. A group of people fell asleep crowded together, and everyone Sleeping with clothes on and not changing clothes made Hongshi a little unbearable, sitting alone in his small place, in a daze.

And Niu Yuquan and Xiaomu naturally slept on the left and right sides of him. Seeing Hongshi in a daze, Xiaomu just stared blankly, but Niu Yuquan asked aloud: "What's wrong? Can't adapt to such a life? "

Niu Yuquan knew without even thinking about it. A man of wealth like him must eat well, wear clothes, and sleep well. He has never squeezed into a big bunk with anyone.

Although it was hard to bear in his heart, Hongshi's upbringing made him unable to show too much. He just shook his head, "No, it's just that I'm in a strange place, and I can't fall asleep. Maybe it's because of the bed!"

"This is also normal. You must have never experienced this kind of situation since you were a child, right?"

Niu Yuquan admired Hongshi sometimes. It must be quite uncomfortable for a handsome young man to suddenly become a person who works hard with them and sleeps all over the bunk.

But he endured a bitter word and didn't say a word. He obviously didn't like it, but he endured it. His willpower is really not ordinary.

If it wasn't for accident, these officers and soldiers got here, they should still enjoy the happiness at home, and since they came here, I am afraid that they will never have the chance to go out. A Niu from the village escaped by accident before, and he has already been given to those officials. The alarm bell was sounded, and they guarded them even more strictly. If they escaped, they would not be able to escape. They were afraid that they would have to stay here for the rest of their lives, and they would end up dying of exhaustion or old age.

Thinking of this, Niu Yuquan couldn't help but feel a little depressed. The mother at home has no one to take care of her, and she doesn't know what's going on with her now.

"What's wrong with you? Suddenly so...sad?" Hongshi looked at Niu Yuquan who was beside him suspiciously. The person who was talking suddenly burst into tears, which shocked him.

Even Xiaomu on the side couldn't help coming over to see him, Niu Yuquan wiped away his tears, and then said, "It's nothing but missing my old lady at home, I'm so unfilial, I can't stand by her lap, and even let my old lady have no one else." Taking care of me makes me feel uncomfortable, and I don’t know when such a day will end, it’s just a feeling.”

Looking at the normally strong man, Hongshi suddenly felt tenderness, and was a little moved in his heart. He thought for a while, and then said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will rescue you in a short time."

Hongshi himself sometimes couldn't understand where his self-confidence came from, and he dared to boast so much in front of others.

Obviously his own situation is quite pessimistic.

"Don't speak so loudly, you are not afraid of being punished!"

Hearing Hongshi's solemn promise suddenly, Niu Yuquan was so frightened that he rushed over and covered his mouth.

Fortunately, most people were already tired after a long day, and they all fell asleep, and although Hongshi solemnly promised, the sound was not particularly loud, so no one else should have heard it.

Only Niu Yuquan and Xiao Mu on one side heard it, so it was a false alarm.

Niu Yuquan let go of his hand covering Hongshi's mouth, and then he began to teach, "You really don't want to die, you dare to say such a thing, what should you do if people hear you? I don't know what to say about you? "

Hearing Niu Yuquan's concerned complaint, Hongshi couldn't help laughing.
