Chapter 51 The inevitable flash of human nature
"You are looking for death!" A man in his thirties next to him quickly covered the boy's mouth.
"Why, I'm just a little lady! She looks so pretty!" the boy broke free and said loudly.
"This is a county town. The soldiers who can reach the city tower are the city magistrates and the county magistrates. You are careful to suffer without any restraint!"
When the boy heard this, his face changed suddenly. When his body shrank, he was about to get into the crowd. The girl upstairs stopped. Liu Mei raised her hand and pointed her finger down and said, "Go down and grab him!"
"Yes~" Two soldiers wearing cloth armor behind the girl, wearing tiger-backed, bear-backed, and bounced down from the city tower.
More than two feet high is equivalent to four or five meters in later generations, which is a little higher than a floor. It is not a big deal for ordinary people to jump down at this height, let alone two agile soldiers.
With two bangs, the two soldiers landed under the city. The gathered men were so scared that they quickly dispersed. The young man was also left in the middle by many people. His face was pale and he shook his hands repeatedly and said that it was not me or me.
The two soldiers strode up and grabbed the boy with their necks easily. After a while, the girl strode out of the city gate with a horse whip. Her little face was full of anger, and she whipped the boy with a whip.
"Pa~" A blood mark appeared on the boy's thin and dark cheeks instantly, accompanied by a scream.
The surrounding folks suddenly became even more panicked and retreated, and suddenly scattered a large circle. As people from different towns were scrambling, some of them began to swear and push each other, and several of them even started to yell and fight with a loud temper.
All the civil servants here are the pillars of their families. They were originally recruited to build roads and were full of resentment. Yesterday, it rained again. At this time, apart from eating the dry food they brought, many people had not yet taken a sip of water. Everyone was like a powder barrel and exploded as soon as they touched it.
The scene became even more chaotic with a few shouts and fights.
The soldiers on the city wall looked at the riots coming down there, and immediately blew the bamboo flute. With the urgent sound of the flute, a group of armed soldiers rushed out from the city and rushed towards several more chaotic people. The bronze halberd in their hands emitted a golden light in the sun.
These soldiers are regular soldiers from Zhi County, with more than 100 people. They patroll the county town and roads on weekdays and defend the city during wartime. In the past few days, some of them have been recruited and sent to the civilians. However, almost all of them have been on the battlefield to kill people. Therefore, they rushed up like wolves and tigers and rushed up and stepped on them, and screams were heard everywhere. The crowd suddenly became even more panicked. Countless civilians directly abandoned their belongings and fled further away, for fear that they would be stabbed to death by the soldiers.
"Stop~"
Suddenly, a loud roar came from the city tower, and the county magistrate Fang Kuan appeared with a dark face. He looked at the panic below and was furious and furious. He roared for more than ten minutes before he could control the scene. However, after he understood the reason, his face was twisted like a mess.
Seeing the girl's innocent look, Fang Kuan shook her sleeves to the county government office with anger. He wanted the county magistrate to take good care of his troubled daughter, otherwise if it really caused a mutiny from the civilians or even a large-scale escape, he would have to bear the blame as the county magistrate.
Those who are ineffective in controlling are dismissed from their posts at the worst, and those who are beheaded at the worst. They are the most experienced by the harsh laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty.
The panicked civilians at the city finally began to slowly restore order under the command of the soldiers and You Jiao, who led the team. A sudden riot finally subsided. In addition to the more civilians with blue noses and swollen faces and humming, there was also a little more fear and a little more topic of discussion.
The young man who took the lead in provoking trouble was dragged to the county government by several big-sleeved soldiers. In addition to being whipped by a girl, he was brave enough to tease the county magistrate's baby daughter. I could guess the consequences, and I guess a stick would be inevitable.
Some people are sad and some are gloating.
This is an inevitable flash of human nature, and it has nothing to do with the age or even the population. It is also a visual and psychological enjoyment to watch people be beaten.
"Do you know who that little lady is?"
"It must be a big deal to be able to climb the city tower at will. Even the county magistrate didn't dare to get angry at her just now!"
"Is it the daughter of the county magistrate?"
"I am handsome, but unfortunately I am too wild and unruly! Tsk tsk, I don't know which young man will marry her. I guess I can't live my life in the future!"
A group of civilians from Qinghe Town gathered together and muttered, four of them looked dissatisfied. One of them couldn't help but interrupt and said, "So what if it's so arrogant? A few days ago, this young lady went to our village to compete and challenge, but a young man in our village made his butt swollen and ran away crying!"
"Is this still the matter?" Everyone around him surrounded him in surprise.
"Which village is it from?"
"Xiaohe Village!" Ma Erdan said proudly.
"Xiaohe Village, wow, I understand. I heard seven or eight days ago that a four-year-old young man in your village killed a four-four-foot snake..."
"That's right!" The four villagers from Xiaohe Village nodded with Youheng.
It can be said that after Chen Xu killed a big snake, Xiaohe Village is now at its peak in Qinghe Town, and even several nearby towns have heard of it. In this era of extremely scarce entertainment programs, the heroic feat of a four-four-year-old boy killing a big snake and more than a thousand jin of Xiongshan Pig can spread quickly without publicity.
Therefore, when he heard that Ma Erdan and the other two came from Xiaohe Village, everyone around him became excited. Dozens of people surrounded the four of them. Even You Jiao, who was leading the team in the town, couldn't help but squeeze in.
A black-faced man in his forties.
He urged with a series of gossip on his face: "Let's talk about the little lady's butt being swollen!"
"Ahem, this is the thing. Seven or eight days ago, this little lady took a few big men to our village to challenge Chen Xu, the young man who killed the four-foot snake. That... who has water, can't speak thirsty..." Ma Erdan, who had always been good at speaking, spoke and looked around.
"I have it, I have it!" A bamboo tube was delivered to me quickly.
Ma Erdan took it and took a few sips before she began to tell the story of the day.
"You don't know that the four followers, one by one, had a tiger-backed and bear-waisted face, rushed into our Xiaohe Village with a fierce momentum, and called on them to compete with the young man Chen Xu. Moreover, our pavilion chief was also guarding her at that time, and he did not dare to have a difference. The young man drew out a three-foot sword and pointed the young man directly at the young man. We were all frightened at that time, but guess what..."
Ma Erdan pretended to be mysterious and glanced around, then lowered his voice and said, "It's a pity that our little husband didn't blink, so he reached out and grabbed the sword blade and said: Good men don't fight with women. I, Chen Xu, are a man who stands tall and upright, and you can kill snakes and tigers. You can't fight with women..."
"Wow, the little husband is really brave. He dares to grab the sword with his hands!" Countless people were amazed.
"What a good man doesn't fight with a woman!" You Jiao clenched his fists excitedly and exclaimed loudly.
"Tell me quickly, then!"
"Ahem, the next thing is even more exciting. The little lady was taken away by the sword and jumped down in anger..."
Next, Ma Erdan added fuel and vinegar to explain in detail how Chen Xu swelled his lady's delicate buttocks. He heard a group of Yamanomura men who had been poor but had not had their clothes to cover their important parts, their eyes were shining. The people who said it were excited to foam at the mouth, and the people who heard it were also scratching their ears and heads.
"In the end, the little lady ran away crying and cried. The little man Chen Xu sang a song to the sky and invited the little lady to sing the next competition..."
"What?" A large area of people around him fell down in an instant.
"Well, that song is unique and extremely heroic. Do you want me to learn it for you?" Ma Erdan stood up when she was excited.
"Sing~Sing~" the onlookers couldn't wait to shout.
"Okay, I'll learn it. If I can't learn it, I'll make you laugh." Ma Erdan imitated Chen Xu's appearance at that time, put one hand on his hips and pointed at the distance and opened his mouth and shouted.
"Sister, go forward boldly, go forward~ Don't turn around..."
Ma Erdan's voice came out and the onlookers were shocked. The onlookers were in a panic, and the soldiers on the city wall began to whistle again. The people who listened to the story suddenly woke up and scattered. The story of a fourteen-year-old boy hero swelling and a young lady's tender butt began to spread quickly among the crowd.
Moreover, as the villagers from various towns come one after another, this story will spread like a plague. Perhaps a few days later, before the two thousand civilians start to build roads, the name of a brave boy named Chen Xu will become a household name. The willful and domineering young lady gradually becomes less terrifying in everyone's eyes. The First Emperor...well, he can't become overbearing.
"You...you...you are so kind. When you go back, go back to Xianyang with your Uncle Qingshan. Don't stay here for a day!" Jiang Beiting felt that everything was on the right track. Today, he finally had a rest, but was so angry that smoke was blown over his head by the county magistrate's news. The middle-aged man who received the news quickly brought the girl back, and what he was greeted was Jiang Beiting's furious anger.
"Dad, my daughter knows that she is wrong, and she will never dare to do it again!" The girl was so scared that she was gloomy.
"You don't dare, what else do you dare?" Jiang Beiting almost laughed angry. "At that time in Xianyang, you did not have many bold things. At night, you sneaked into the beloved mansion of the CRRC Mansion, twisted off a snow fox head of his beloved girl, and then blamed it for the third girl of General Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu. If your uncle had not come to apologize, you would still stand here well. I thought you were too arrogant and willful and brought you to this remote place to temper your character. I didn't expect that you would have caused such a big disaster to me in just a few days. If this matter was spread to the county town, your father would not be able to protect you. Go back and go back to Xianyang and ask your mother to find a marriage for you..."
"Dad, I don't want to go back!" The girl turned pale when she heard this, and quickly hugged Jiang Beiting's arm and began to shake again.
"I will get married sooner or later when I grow up, and I have to go back this time!" Jiang Beiting was not soft-hearted.
It was a complete mistake to bring this willful and willful daughter to Zhixian County. I don’t have time to take care of her, and I’m afraid that the trouble will be caused more and more if I continue for a long time.
"Dad~"
"Hmph~"
"Hmph!" The girl saw that she was so soft that she was too soft, and she also snorted and turned her head and left.
