"Xia Jingyun, you are fine!"
On the slope, the sword hanging above County Magistrate Zhao's head was gone. His knot was relieved, he laughed heartily, and he did not hesitate to reward him.
Xia Jingyun bowed and held his hands in front of me, "It's all thanks to your trust that the sinner has the opportunity to offer his words and suggestions."
"In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be taken. I am not that pedantic."
County Magistrate Zhao accepted Xia Jingyun's flattery with satisfaction, stroking a handful of his beard, "Since you have accomplished something, I will not break my promise, so I will exempt your family of seven from labor. Master Sun, you will handle this matter." Beginning and end.”
A man who looked like a scribe on the side quickly agreed.
At the edge of the crowd, the silent Manager Hu was jealous, with a trace of spiteful hatred flashing in his eyes.
This should be his glory!
Damn lowly laborers, they actually hide their words in secret!
See if I go down and beat you to death!
Don't think I can't find you without your labor!
Zhang Dazhi, who was the supervisor, withdrew his eyes from staring at the pulley and continued to operate, and said slowly: "I have calculated that if I implement this method, the high platform will be completed in seven to ten days. You have done me a big favor, Mr. Zhao." You will be exempted from labor, and I will give you no other reward from outsiders. I will give you ten taels of silver and go to the city to find a place to live for the time being."
Xia Jingyun was overjoyed. This was not the time to show off, so he bowed his head and shouted thanks.
Magistrate Zhao smiled and said, "Master Zhang is interested. Mr. Sun, please do it together and find a suitable place to settle it. Does Master Zhang think it's okay?"
Zhang Dazhi rubbed his hands and said, "Good work, good work."
"You all have expressed it. It seems that if I don't do something, it will be a bit callous."
A cold voice sounded, and a beauty in palace attire in a long skirt walked slowly forward, with light steps and a graceful figure. Not to mention the laborers in the labor field who had not tasted the taste of women for many days, even County Magistrate Zhao, who had been there for several years, The big shot who had a concubine in his house couldn't help but feel the urge to do it first out of respect.
When Xia Jingyun looked up, Feng Xiuyun was also looking at the young man in front of him. His face was so dirty that he couldn't see his face clearly, and his limbs were so thin that he could hardly hold up the dirty and torn work clothes, but his eyes were still clear and clear. , emitting a light called confidence.
"The words on the drawing were written by you?"
Feng Xiuyun came over, and Xia Jingyun was slightly startled by his first words, and then nodded.
"How about giving me a calligraphy painting?"
Feng Xiuyun's second sentence made Xia Jingyun even more stunned. Didn't you give me a reward? Why are you still asking me for something?
This tone sounds like a little fairy arrogantly saying to the licking dog, "Give you a chance and give me a gift."
But am I, Xia Jingyun, the kind of spineless licking dog that is despised?
"Of course!" Xia Jingyun agreed decisively.
"good!"
Feng Xiuyun nodded with satisfaction, took two steps forward, and then suddenly pulled out the knife from the guard's waist and stabbed directly into Manager Hu's chest.
His movements were neat and crisp, and he seemed to possess martial arts skills!
"grown ups......"
Manager Hu slumped to the ground with eyes full of shock and fear.
"Feng Shanggong!"
Magistrate Zhao roared with suppressed anger. Manager Hu was considered his confidant after all. Otherwise, how could he get his turn in such a job? Moreover, after making such a serious mistake, Magistrate Zhao had not let anyone mess him up. Beaten to death.
But this confidant was betrayed right in front of him.
It is truly a shame and humiliation comparable to what Biff is currently committing.
If he couldn't afford to offend the other party, he would have turned against him on the spot.
"this......."
Zhang Dazhi was also a little helpless and stunned.
Feng Xiuyun didn't seem to hear Magistrate Zhao's anger. She first slowly wiped the blood on Guanshi Hu's body with the knife, then inserted it back into the scabbard of the stunned guard, and sighed with slight dissatisfaction, "It's been a long time." Now, my skills are also rusty, and I almost missed the mark."
Then, she looked at Xia Jingyun and said, "This is the gift I give you. In the future, you must remember that for such a narrow-minded and insidious person, who you have offended to death, once you have the opportunity, you must not hesitate to kill him." Beat them until you can never get over, otherwise there will be endless troubles.”
Xia Jingyun was shocked and bowed deeply, "Thank you, sir."
Feng Xiuyun then turned to look at Magistrate Zhao, with a smile on her lips, "Mr. Zhao, did you just call me?"
Seeing Feng Xiuyun's calm and calm look, the anger in Magistrate Zhao's chest suddenly weakened a lot, and he stuttered, "No...it's nothing."
"It doesn't matter, he's just a little guy. Mr. Zhao is too busy with old friendships, so I'll just help you. There's no need to give special thanks."
After saying that, Feng Xiuyun left slowly, took a few steps, and suddenly stopped, "Eat more meat and take good care of yourself. I will come to pick up your words in a few days."
It’s not a word for anything else, why should you still eat meat to maintain your health?
Xia Jingyun, who was in a good mood, bravely complained in his heart.
...
The women's workers' camp was also busy and tense.
Unlike men, they need to carry heavy objects and do heavy work, but their strength is not inferior.
Starching, knitting, sewing, and other jobs suitable for women are all being pushed onto everyone's heads.
It seems like a tiring job, but due to women's physical disadvantages and inconsiderate consumption, human lives are still being reduced one by one.
There were three women in the crowd.
Two older middle-aged women, with bloated figures and messy hair, were no different from ordinary fat women.
There was only one girl who was in her twenties. Although she was tall, she probably inherited her mother's figure. She was also bloated, which made it difficult for people to imagine those graceful figures.
At the same time, a few big pockmarks on the face can make even the most impatient man's blood flow back.
Perhaps it is because of this that they can survive here in peace until now.
They are Xia Jingyun's mother, aunt, and his cousin.
Just like in the male labor camp, there are several supervisors here, walking around with whips, and whipping anyone who is found to be lazy.
The same cruelty, the same disregard for human life.
But the difference is that they are all women.
Women are often more cruel to women.
The entire women's work camp is also divided into eight sections. The person in charge of this section where the female relatives of Xia Jingyun's family are located is an old woman named Liu, who is privately called Mrs. Liu by everyone.
She was pacing slowly at the moment, her thin body slightly shrunken, and her pair of triangular eyes, like a mouse peering into the outside world, scanning everyone.
Everyone was sitting on pins and needles with a ray of light on their backs, and they could only focus all their attention on the work in hand.
Snapped!
A whip was struck on Xia Jingyun's aunt's back. Although it was much lighter than the whip used by the supervisor in the labor camp, the women with delicate skin and tender flesh were still in pain.
Xia Jingyun's aunt trembled and quickly got back to work.
"You still want to be lazy under my nose? You're tired of living!"
Mrs. Liu snorted coldly and spoke in a sharp voice, "Any bastard who wants to be whipped, just give it a try!"
After a while, there was a clang, and a figure slumped to the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
Surprisingly, it was Aunt Xia Jingyun who had just been whipped.
In the past, although she was not a young lady from a wealthy family, she was still the matron of a well-to-do family. She had never suffered like this.
In the first few days after arriving here, my body was exhausted, which gradually began to torment my mind and spirit until I was completely exhausted and my whole body shriveled up.
She was already on the verge of exhaustion just now. When her hands moved slowly, she was whipped by Mrs. Liu. After working hard for a while, she finally fainted.
Her sister-in-law and her daughter, who were sitting next to her, quickly reached out to help her. Xia Jingyun's mother quickly said: "Sir, I have finished her work for her today. Let her rest. If this continues, she will die. I I beg you."
"Bah! You bitch! If you die, you will die! Get up!"
But Mrs. Liu didn't care at all. Her superiors had already told her that in this labor camp, the hard workers were just consumables, so they didn't have to pity them at all. They only had to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors.
So, she directly picked up the whip and struck the woman who was lying on the ground, all over her head and face.
If this whip is carried out, the skin and flesh on the face will inevitably be torn, and the face will be much uglier even if it is not ruined.
So, the young woman on the side rushed over to protect her mother, intending to catch the whip with her back.
The whip fell on her body, but the furious Mrs. Liu was suddenly stunned.
Xia Jingyun's mother also seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly became frightened.
Before she could think of a way, Mrs. Liu had already walked over and ripped off the young woman's coat.
The waist is actually wrapped in a circle of fishnet cloth!
After a while, Mrs. Liu looked at the young woman who immediately became graceful after taking off the fishing net cloth, and chuckled, "I said there is something wrong with the sound of the whip! Tsk tsk, the steward will definitely like this figure. Hidden." What are you doing here? Why not be better than being burdened here after serving the steward?"
She stared at the young woman's face, reached out to touch it, and picked out a pimple, "Sure enough, the pimple on this face is also fake. She must be a beautiful woman. Hey, it depends on you whether I can make a fortune. .”
"My lord, have mercy! My lord, have mercy!" Xia Jingyun's mother rushed forward and hugged Mrs. Liu's legs, "My lord, she is still a young lady, and she has to serve the boss. Send me there. I am also tangled in a fishing net, and my figure is My son is quite good, I will definitely not ruin your good deeds!"
Everyone knows that it can't be a good thing if those women who were of good appearance and figure but were never heard from again after being selected.
The young woman cried: "Aunt..."
Mrs. Liu smiled coldly, "It seems that you are from a wealthy family. Don't worry, how can I lose your share? Your niece is going to serve the steward, but the steward still has a bodyguard, so don't worry that no one will want her."
She was like a kind-hearted neighbor who was trying to make things happen. "Think about it, working with the stewards and guards, enjoying the hot food and drinking spicy food, there is no need to suffer these hardships. If you serve them well, I can still give you something." If you say a few nice words to your father, brothers, and men and let them have two full meals, not only will they not blame you, but they will also be grateful to you. I wish I had those things too, so that I could get a few delicious meals in exchange."
Such words made the two women in front of them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Their faces were pale, their bodies were shaking, and their eyes showed pure and complete fear.
On the ground, the woman who woke up slowly tilted her head and fainted again after listening to half of it.
This is not a dead end, because death is a luxury for them at this moment.
The other women on the side also showed sympathy.
Like most people, they know they are miserable, but they ignore the suffering in the world.
However, there was nothing they could do.
After entering this labor camp, all wealth and status disappeared, leaving only a weak body with no strength to restrain a chicken.
But compared to those who had been humiliated and harmed, and the three people in front of them who were about to be humiliated and harmed, they didn't know if they were lucky.
"It's a pity that I still haven't hidden it after hiding it for so long."
"Three good people are going to be gone now."
"Hey, take care of yourself and try to get out alive."
"We're all here now. It doesn't matter whether we die early or late. I'd rather die innocently."
"Who says it isn't?"
At this moment, a guard came from a distance outside and waved to Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu quickly asked the supervisor next to her to help tie up the three women of the Xia family and ran out.
"Auntie! I don't want it! I don't want to be ruined."
Xia Jingyun's mother sighed and said silently in her heart: Farewell, husband, Gao Yang.
She has made up her mind to find an opportunity to commit suicide, and she must not be ruined!
A moment later, Mrs. Liu walked in, and the three women immediately began to tremble, like condemned prisoners waiting for the executioner to drop the sword.
"Xia Zhang, Xia Li, Xia Ningzhen! You can leave!"
"I don't want it! I want to be here! If you dare to let me go, I will die for you!"
Xia Jingyun's cousin Xia Ningzhen, who was determined to die, stood up with determination on her face.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu looked like she had drunk gold juice, "I said you can leave! Leave this labor camp! You are free!"
The three women stood stunned.
My aunt, who was pretending to be faint just now, also stood up.
