Once a person lives a humble life, he will have no self-confidence at any time, will be timid when things happen, and will always worry about gains and losses.

Just like this Auntie Gu who carries the burden...

She is clearly a microcosm of countless people in this era.

…

"My name is Gu Axiu, and I married a man named Liu Qi. So when my husband was still alive, people in the village should call me Liu Gu. But because my man was willing to work hard, my family's life was

She was the best in the whole village, so at that time the villagers did not dare to call me Mrs. Liu Gu. When everyone saw me, they always called me the eldest lady of the Liu family with a smile on their faces!"

"However, this kind of happy life did not last long."

"A year ago, the imperial court went to Jiangnan to suppress the rebellion. My husband was recruited as a soldier. He never came back."

"The officials sent two officials to tell me that my man died in the war. The officials gave me a pension of twenty guan and gave my family three hundred acres of irrigated land. The officials followed me

He said, this is what my man paid for with his life. Aunt Gu, please keep this money and land to raise your children. This wealth is enough to raise your children..."

"That was the first time someone called me Mrs. Gu!"

"I know that from that moment on, the name Aunt Gu will stay with me for a long, long time. Because my man died, because the sky in my family fell."

"Those people in the village who used to envy me and compliment me will no longer call me the eldest lady of the Liu family."

"Sure enough, they also started calling me Mrs. Gu!"

"But the name is only secondary. What I worry about most is that they will kill everyone. But the more worried I am, the more I find that they have already started."

"They're really starting to eat away at their families..."

…

The clerk in charge of recording had a very ugly look on his face. It was obvious that there was a ball of evil in his chest. The veins on his hands were bulging, and he could not even hold the pen steady when writing.

Cheng Chumo happened to be standing next to him. Seeing this, he couldn't help but his face darkened, and he asked the clerk: "What does eating the household mean? Why do you get so angry when you hear this? Tell me, what exactly does eating the household mean?"

The clerk took a deep breath, smiled bitterly, and apologized repeatedly to Cheng Chumo, saying: "Please make atonement for my sins. Wan Sheng really couldn't suppress the anger, because this matter of being exterminated is too hateful. I used to

I once saw a person who was completely destitute, and it was so miserable, so I felt angry."

Cheng Chumo looked thoughtful, suddenly turned to look at Aunt Gu, and said: "This sister-in-law also said just now that her family was devoured..."

The clerk sighed, picked up his pen and looked at Aunt Gu, and said warmly: "Sister-in-law, please continue to tell us about your life experience and origins. We do not want you to recall the painful past, but the demographic law of our Youyun Continent requires

In this way, whenever people come, they must register carefully. As long as the registration is completed, we can issue you an identity certificate... With this identity certificate, you will become an upright Youzhou native. From now on

The earth is so vast that no one will dare to bully you anymore, because you are a citizen of Youzhou, and because you are protected by the Gu family."

…

Aunt Gu wiped away her tears and resumed her interrupted story.

"To be exterminated is to bully the man in my family to death. The fields and money my man exchanged for his life have all become fat in the eyes of the villagers."

"They were not willing to wait even a day, so they held a so-called Liu Clan meeting that night. A group of people shouted at the top of their lungs and divided the land that my man had bought with his life."

"They said that as a widow, I couldn't plant so much land, so they helped with the planting. When there was a harvest, they would give me some food to raise my children."

"They said that as a widow, I could easily attract wild men, so I couldn't keep the twenty dollars that my man exchanged for his life. They helped me save the money and would take it out when my children need it."

"Twenty guan of money, three hundred acres of water to irrigate the land. It all became theirs overnight, and they didn't even want to use a better excuse."

"Since then, I have become the worst family in the village."

"I work hard, but the wages I get are very small. I can't buy enough food at all. My children are often hungry and crying."

"But I dare not go to those people to ask for food, because I know that they have been looking forward to the death of me and my children. Only when I and my children are dead will they truly take possession of the money and land left by my man."

"Six months ago, my son got sick, but I couldn't afford the money for medicine. I finally couldn't hold it in anymore and wanted to go to them and ask for some money. But, I was beaten up."

"They said I was faking it. The reason why my child was sick was because I wanted to use the child's illness to get money. They said I deliberately caused the child to become sick, and they were going to use this excuse to enforce clan rules against me."

"I know they want to take the opportunity to beat me to death."

"That night, I finally made up my mind. I picked up a burden and took all my belongings with me. I took my two children with me at night and fled to the mountains in a panic..."

"I would rather be a savage than stay in the village anymore. Because I know that both my child and I will die."

"Since then, my child and I have truly become savages!"

…

Bang!

Cheng Chumo punched the table hard.

This little guy is now fourteen years old, and his body is as strong as a calf. Everyone saw that his face was filled with anger, and he suddenly shouted: "He deserves to be killed! Damn, he really deserves to be killed, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah,

Master, I’m about to be blown away.”

The little official next to him had a look of helplessness on his face and sighed: "Young Master Cheng, just look away. This kind of thing is not uncommon. It happens in many villages, especially in poor places where clans are stubborn. It is simply a shame to be destitute."

It’s a habit.”

"Oh shit!"

Cheng Chumo gritted his teeth.

He turned his eyes to Aunt Gu, the anger in his eyes was like a volcano about to erupt, and said: "This Aunt Gu's man actually got a pension of twenty dollars after he died in the war. Twenty dollars of pension is just that. The key is three hundred dollars."

He irrigated the fields with acres of water, which shows that he was by no means an ordinary death in battle, and his man definitely made considerable military achievements."

The little official next to him nodded subconsciously and said with respect: "Such a large pension requires at least five hundred beheadings. Beheading five hundred people is definitely not something that one person can accomplish, so his man must have been involved in a battle."

He played a vital role in the war... Our military department in the Tang Dynasty has always been cautious in counting military achievements, and such great achievements will definitely not be recognized indiscriminately. Therefore, this man who is the sister-in-law is definitely a hero."

Definitely a hero!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve the level 500 decapitation feat.

The Tang Dynasty's military achievements are based on beheadings, but it does not mean that they are all beheadings. For example, if a person defends a city defense and plays a vital role in the entire battle, then he can be given a corresponding level of attack according to his attack.

The merit of beheading.

And a meritorious deed such as beheading 500 people must at least influence a battle in which 50,000 people fight to the death.

The clerk obviously wanted to help Aunt Gu, and suddenly he cautiously said: "The Jiangnan rebellion a year ago involved a desperate battle involving fifty thousand people. So, it was probably commanded by Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County.

A battle. This prince has always been considerate of his subordinates, but it’s a pity that Wan Sheng’s rank is not high enough to ask for an audience with him.”

"If you're not of high enough level to ask for a meeting, then let me go!" Cheng Chu didn't even think about it and stopped the errand directly.

The clerk felt happy and quickly bowed his hands.

He looked at Aunt Gu again, his voice was gentler than before, and said: "Sister-in-law, please continue to tell me about your identity and why you came to Youzhou? Why don't you stay in your hometown..."

…

"Why don't I stay in my hometown?"

Auntie Gu smiled obviously sadly.

She stretched out her hand and hugged the two children subconsciously, with the uncontrollable fear in her eyes and murmuring in her mouth, as if she was trapped in a nightmare.

Everyone can see that she is starting to recall those painful things again.

"After I ran into the mountains, I became a savage. I didn't dare to go down the mountain for fear of being discovered by the villagers. I didn't dare to show my face for fear of being beaten to death."

"The children are hungry every day, and I can no longer go to work to buy food. I can only dig wild vegetables everywhere and climb trees to dig out bird's nests. Sometimes the children are really hungry, and I will take cruel risks.

I go into the beast's cave to look for food. If I'm lucky, I can find some bones. I boil the bones into soup and watch the two children drink it sweetly..."

"But I know this kind of life won't last long!"

"I haven't eaten salt for more than half a year. I feel that my body is getting weaker and weaker. The same goes for my two children. They are becoming less and less fond of running around and just sit there every day. They are slowly becoming stupid.

The look scares me!"

"I knew I had to get a little salt, otherwise both my kids and I would die."

"So, I made a determined effort to get out of the mountain."

"I was really caught. They caught me as soon as I came out of the mountain. Dozens of people surrounded me and beat me viciously with sticks. While beating me, they also convicted me and said that I have the most vicious heart of a woman.

He killed his two children."

"They beat me until I fainted, then woke up, beat me again, and fainted again..."

"I know they are determined to beat me to death."

"Beat me to death so that you can fully possess the money and land left by my man."

"I can't escape this kind of thing after all..."

"But just when I was about to die, I suddenly heard someone riding a horse into the village. It was an official, and he stopped the villagers from beating me."

"The official said that he was on a mission and needed to go to various villages to read out the new orders of the imperial court."

"The official said that there was a Mr. Gu who was a great hero of the Han people. He recovered the Youyun Continent that had been lost for more than a hundred years in the Central Plains, and moved his family to Youzhou among the 5 continents."

"The official also said that Mr. Gu is a relative of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his wife is a princess, and his son is a duke. Mr. Gu is leading his family to prepare to open up the land of Youyun, and now he is recruiting people from all over the world who are willing to go."

"The official also said that the Tang royal family fully supported this matter. The emperor issued a special edict and spread it to all Han villages in the world. As long as anyone feels that he cannot survive and wants to escape to Youzhou to find a way to survive,
To be continued...
