Participate in horizontal battles and turn around, the moon is white and the wind is clear.
Qin He sat in the haystack, and after a long time he dared to confirm that he had indeed traveled through time.
In my previous life, I was a 996 worker. Unfortunately, I was fired during the "cold wave". I got drunk while drinking in a rented house and traveled through time.
This life is worse than the last.
He was born in a feudal dynasty called "Qian". Da Qian has been a country for more than 400 years. Although this generation of monarchs is ignorant and incompetent, and there are powerful enemies outside the country, fortunately, the country is strong and the Qian country is still prosperous.
Unfortunately, this wealth does not belong to Qin He.
The Qin He of this world is from Southern Xinjiang. Southern Xinjiang faces mountains on one side and the sea on the other. There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains and bandits on the sea. The middle is densely covered with swamps and surrounded by miasma. The geographical environment is extremely bad. It has always been the place of exile for Daqian.
Qin He is the descendant of an exiled sinner. According to the law, he is not allowed to read or write or take merit examinations. In other words, as soon as Qin He crossed over, the ascending passage was blocked.
Under such circumstances, Qin He's predecessor unsurprisingly turned himself into a rogue, making a living by cheating and kidnapping.
Total shit.
If we were to say what advantages this predecessor had, loyalty might just be one of them.
He drank several bowls of yellow soup last night and insisted on standing up for the girls in the brothel, and even got into a conflict with a group of bad customers. When he returned home that night, he was put into a sack and beaten with sap, and he died in a haystack on the roadside.
Qin He's predecessor was lonely and had no relatives, and he was the descendant of a sinner. No one cared about him when he died on the street - maybe only the girls in the brothel would lament him, after all, everyone was a miserable man wandering without roots.
If you have no strength or background and still like to stand out, who will die if you don’t die?
Qin He, who had crossed over, held his forehead and sighed.
Inheriting this kind of life will undoubtedly be a hellish start!
After resting for a while, Qin He slowly stood up from the haystack. The injury from the sap was not healed yet, and his whole body ached whenever he moved.
With such a trembling step, Qin He arrived home at the fifth watch of the clock.
It is said to be a home, but it is actually a short house with three walls - one wall was washed away by the heavy rain and is now supported by a log. It is a real dilapidated house.
If Qin He could not get enough money to repair the house, even if he was not smashed to death in his sleep, he would still freeze to death in the wind and snow in winter.
awful!
Qin He was so tired that he reluctantly slept in the shabby house with his clothes on.
Before he could fall asleep, a strong man came to the door of Qin He's house and shouted: "Brother Qin, it's time to move the sheep!"
Qin He opened his eyes drowsily.
The strong man had pushed aside the wooden board at the door and walked in on his own.
His name is Xu Gang, and he is the only reliable buddy among the friends in Qinhe.
Xu Gang was tall and had to hunch down when entering Qinhe's short mud house. Because his brain is not very bright, he is often plotted by others.
Qin He's predecessor had no other advantages except for being loyal, so the two of them got along best.
In addition to idleness, they also have a job to make a living. That is "moving sheep".
This "sheep" is not the other "sheep", referring to the corpses of exiles in mass graves.
Southern Xinjiang is a place of exile, and there is a very serious miasma. Many exiles came from the north. They were not accustomed to the local climate and did not know how to avoid miasma. They easily fell ill.
Of course, the government would not spend money to treat these exiles. To save trouble for the disciples, they would often throw the corpses into mass graves and save money on hiring widowers and buying straw mats. Many exiles were still seriously ill when they were thrown into mass graves, and they had to mourn in them for several days before dying in pain.
As for those who were lucky enough to escape the miasma, such as the fathers of Qin He and Xu Gang, they could marry and have children after completing their hard labor, and remain untouchables in southern Xinjiang for generations.
Therefore, the so-called "moving sheep" refers to carrying corpses for the government.
Most of the corpses died of miasma poison. To avoid the taboo of corpse poison, they were generally called "sheep" instead of "corpse".
The government officials' bodies are precious, so how can they risk transporting poisonous corpses? What's more, those mass graves are already a hotbed of viruses. How can ordinary people dare to approach them?
So the business of moving sheep came into being.
Of course, the untouchables are not invulnerable to all kinds of poisons. Many sheep movers will become increasingly weak and even become ill.
Even so, there are many people rushing to do this job, and if you arrive late, you have to drink the northwest wind.
After all, poverty is more terrible than death.
Qin He sat up holding the edge of the bed.
At this time, Xu Gang saw the injuries on his body clearly.
"Brother Qin, what's going on with you? Could it be that you were beaten up by that gang of villains?" Xu Gang asked in shock.
Even if he wasn't smart, he could still guess that Qin He's sudden injury was related to the dispute in the brothel.
"You bastards, I'm going to break their legs!"
Qin He quickly grabbed Xu Gang and shook his head at him. He is in a difficult situation now, how can he have the energy to make enemies?
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Now Qin He is no longer the ruffian in the past who only knew how to show off his courage and fight ruthlessly. He can distinguish priorities.
As long as you can survive, there is always a chance for revenge.
Qin He cheered up and prepared to move the sheep with Xu Gang.
Xu Gang advised him to take a day off.
But Qin He just waved his hand. Life was so difficult that he knew that only by trying his best could he turn around.
You need to save a start-up capital first, and then find a business that can really make you rich.
Whether it's cheating or moving sheep, it's not a long-term solution...
Xu Gang looked at Qin He in surprise. Even though he was clumsy, he could feel——
——Brother Qin has changed.
When the two rushed to the yamen gate, the first hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon.
Today is the day to move the sheep, and there are many untouchables who come here to wait in advance.
Qin He looked around and found that most of these people were sallow and thin. Standing among them, Xu Gang stood out from the crowd, and he would probably be the first to be picked.
As he expected, after the yamen servant came out, he fell in love with Xu Gang, who was a head above everyone else, without even thinking about it.
Not much left today, just two spots.
When the government officials were hesitating about another candidate, Xu Gang strongly recommended Qin He. The yamen servant just wanted to go back and sleep in his cage as soon as possible. He glanced at Qin He and nodded in agreement.
The untouchables who were not selected sighed.
Qin He and Xu Gang sighed and followed the yamen servant towards the courtyard.
"They are all inside. After moving out, go to the accounting office to collect the reward." The yamen servant yawned, but did not go inside.
Thinking about it, the corpses inside were all dead of illness, so of course he didn't want to get close to them.
Qin He already knew the process from the memory of his predecessor, so he immediately nodded and bowed, and said some flattering words to the Yamen servant.
In the past, Qin Heruo also knew how to deal with interpersonal relationships, so he would not die on the streets.
Qin He and Xu Gang put on masks and walked in front and back.
A total of eight corpses were parked here, including men and women, old and young. Most of them had bruises on their bodies, but their skin could be seen to be very fair. It was estimated that they were either high-ranking officials or wealthy people before they were exiled.
"Let's do it." Qin He said.
Xu Gang nodded, and the two of them carried the corpses onto the wooden cart one after another, and then pulled some straw to cover them.
When the last body was transported, there was suddenly a strange movement.
"This woman is still alive!"
