Xiang Yanzheng was in a daze when his body suddenly flew forward and fell to the ground with a "bang". The pain was severe, and a burst of laughter came from his ears. Xiang Yan woke up from the pain and found that he was tied up with a rope. Looking back, I saw seven people with shaved foreheads, a braid on their heads, bare upper bodies, wearing only a pair of leather pants, and all greasy, laughing. These seven people were all muscular, with mustaches and black hair growing on their chests. When they stretched out their hands, they all had huge palms and the thickness of fingers.
Xiang Yan was shocked and frightened, and asked: "Who are you? Why do you want to arrest me?" The big man hit Xiang Yan on the head with a whip and shouted: "Rebel, how many accomplices do you have? Where are they hiding? Tell me honestly. , You can still live. If you make any false claims, your nine tribes will be punished." Xiang Yan was stunned, what was he talking about? Why do you say I am a rebel?
Seeing that Xiangyan didn't answer, Han Jia was very angry and whipped him again, saying: "Rebel, you dare to speak harshly." Han B said, "Don't beat him. Hand him over to the prince, and we will definitely get a reward. If you do, If you beat someone to death, there won't be much reward." The other big men all agreed.
The big Han Jia took the other end of the rope that tied Xiang Yan in his hand and rode a horse. Xiang Yan couldn't catch up and was held behind the horse, causing injuries all over his body. The big men all laughed. Fortunately, none of the big men wanted Xiang Yan's life, so they stopped their horses and walked slowly after a certain distance.
Xiang Yan saw the pedestrians wearing strange clothes and braids on the back of their heads on the road. He was very puzzled: "Why are these pedestrians dressed so strangely? These people who kidnapped him actually walked on the street with his own dignity. On the street, no one rescued me or called the police, but they seemed to be afraid of the kidnappers."
After Xiang Yan had his thirteenth birthday cake last night, he went to bed. In the middle of the night, I was woken up by bursts of pain in my chest. More than half an hour later, the pain suddenly intensified. Xiang Yan fainted from the pain. When he woke up, he was tied to this strange place by these strange people. Xiang Yan thought about it carefully for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how he was kidnapped. Look at the sun again. It's getting late now. Could it be that I have been fainted for a long time?
The big men saw a small hotel on the way back. Big Man B said: "I'm a little hungry. Let's eat something first and then go back!" The other people nodded and agreed. After the seven people entered, they sat down at two tables, while Xiang Yan stood aside.
The seven people all shouted loudly: "Bring the wine quickly, beef and chicken, the sooner the better." The bartender quickly responded: "Yes! Yes!" Putting down his chopsticks, he asked: "Sir, what are you going to eat?" The big man said angrily: "Are you deaf?" The big man suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the bartender's waist, turned his arm and lifted him up. The bartender was dancing with his arms and legs and screaming in fear. Several big men laughed when they saw it. The big man shook his hand and threw the bartender out the door. The bartender shouted: "Oh, my God!" All the big men laughed in unison again.
At a table next to him, a child suddenly said loudly: "Hey, big guys, this friend of mine said he can defeat seven of you by himself." Everyone turned around and saw a big man and a fellow student sitting at the table. A child about the same age as Xiang Yan. Big Han C asked: "Little baby, what did you say?" The kid said: "This friend of mine said that you bully the bartender. You are not a hero. If you have the guts to fight with him." Big Han A stared at him angrily. The big man said: "Son of a bitch, is that what you said?"
The big man didn't say anything. He picked up the wine bottle and threw it at the big man. The big man blocked it with his hands and shouted "Ouch". The big man Bing rushed over, and the big man kicked him out, hitting him in the lower abdomen. The big man Bing flew straight out immediately. The other five big men shouted "bastards, bastards" and rushed towards him one after another.
Seeing this, Xiang Yan took the opportunity to sneak towards the back hall. Suddenly a chopstick flew towards him and hit him in the crook of his right leg. Xiang Yan's right leg went numb and he fell to the ground, unable to move again. I just kept hearing the sound of someone falling, and I didn't know who was winning or losing.
Then I heard an old man's voice saying: "You want to give me medicine again, don't you mean to kill me? If you take even half a minute more of this medicine, it will kill me. Cough...cough...you... Child, what a fool." Another child's voice said: "My child really doesn't know, and I won't dare to do it anymore." The old man said: "What's next? Well, I don't know how many days I can live."
The child said: "Father, what are the backgrounds of these guys? I'm afraid they are rebels." The old man said: "Where do you friends come from?" The man B said: "If I go back to my father-in-law, we are Prince Zheng. In the mansion. We went out hunting today and happened to meet this bandit. We were originally going to take him back to the palace and hand him over to the prince for interrogation, but we didn’t expect to encounter these two rebels again. If my father-in-law hadn’t taken action to capture these two rebels today, Thief, we are in great disgrace."
The old man snorted and said: "That...that's just a coincidence. Ahem...cough, don't disturb others, just send this man and the two children to the Da Neishang Food Supervisor, just say it's... The person Hai Laogong wants." Several big men agreed in unison.
Xiang Yan heard what they said, "Eunuch, Ouchi, Prince", and thought of the strange dressing of the people here, he was shocked: "Did I actually arrive in the Qing Dynasty? Oh my God! I just slept at home, why did I... When I woke up, I arrived in the Qing Dynasty? The Qing Dynasty has always been known as "leaving your head without leaving hair, leaving hair without leaving hair". Is it because I didn't shave my hair that I was regarded as a rebel? And why did that old eunuch want me to come to the palace? He was In order to compete with that prince, do you want me to be a eunuch?" Thinking of this, Xiang Yan couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
The old eunuch said again: "Why don't you call for a sedan? Do you think I can still walk in this state?" The young eunuch agreed and ran away. I could only hear the old eunuch coughing uncontrollably, and then I heard the child who had provoked the big men curse: "Old turtle with tuberculosis..." After a while, the little eunuch came back and said: "Father, the sedan has arrived." The eunuch left amidst coughing sounds.
The big men called several more sedans, stuffed a piece of cloth into Xiang Yan's mouth, blindfolded his eyes with a black cloth, put them in the sedan and carried him away. Xiang Yan was in the dark in the sedan chair, worried about being executed as a rebel and worried about becoming a eunuch, and walked around in a state of anxiety. Sometimes the sedan stopped and someone asked, and the big man outside the sedan would always reply: "My husband, Shangshan Supervisor Hai, asked me to send it off."
I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly the sedan stopped. Big Han Yi's voice came over: "The person that Mr. Hai wanted has been delivered." Then he heard the voice of the little eunuch: "Yes. Mr. Hai is resting, just leave the person here." Big Han Yi said again: "Let's go back and report to Prince Zheng. The prince will definitely send someone to thank Mr. Hai." The little eunuch said: "Yes, you said that Mr. Hai paid his respects to the prince." Han Yi said: "I don't dare to take it seriously." Then someone followed Xiang Yan. He was carried down in the sedan chair, carried into the house and put down.
Hearing the footsteps of people walking away and the old eunuch coughing several times, Xiang Yan smelled a very strong smell of medicine. It was quiet all around, except for the old eunuch's occasional cough, there was no other sound. Xiang Yan's hands and feet were tied, his fingers and toes were numb, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. However, the old eunuch seemed to have forgotten his door and ignored him. He was determined to escape, but the rope was tied very tightly and could not be untied.
After a long time, I heard the old eunuch call softly: "Xiao Guizi." The little eunuch responded: "Yes!" The old eunuch said: "Untie the three of them, I have something to ask them." The little eunuch said: "Yes!" Xiang Yan heard a "cluck" sound. After a while, the ropes on his hands and feet were cut with a knife, and the black cloth around his eyes was also removed.
Xiang Yan opened his eyes and saw that he was in a large room. There are few things in the room, only a table, a chair, and a teapot and tea bowl on the table. The old eunuch was sitting on a chair, half sitting and half lying down. The cheeks are sunken and the eyes are half open and half closed. It was already dark at this time, and there were two candlesticks on the wall, each with a candle lit. The candlelight flickered on and off the old eunuch's sallow face.
The little eunuch took out the cloth from the mouths of the big man and Xiang Yan, and when he was about to take the cloth from the child's mouth, the old eunuch said: "This child's mouth is not clean, let him stuff it for a while." The little eunuch said: "Yes! The old eunuch said again: "Bring a chair over here and sit down for him." The little eunuch brought a chair out from the next room and placed it at the feet of the big man, who immediately sat down. The child next to the big man sat on the ground, while Xiang Yan stood aside.
The old eunuch first asked Xiang Yan: "Who are you? Why didn't you shave your hair?" After guessing that he might come to the Qing Dynasty, Xiang Yan began to make up a suitable origin for himself: "My name is Xiang Yan. My grandfather brought him Our family went overseas. Three years ago, my grandfather passed away. My father said he would return to his roots and take us back to his hometown. Unexpectedly, we were hunted down as soon as we landed, and I was caught after escaping for a few days."
The old eunuch nodded and said: "Everyone in the Qing Dynasty must shave their heads. The court has decreed, 'Keep your head without hair, keep your hair without hair.' If you don't shave your hair, of course you will be hunted down. Let's do this , you do one thing for me, I will shave your hair and let you go." Xiang Yan had no choice but to agree.
The old eunuch said to the young eunuch: "Take him to shave his hair and change his clothes." The young eunuch took Xiang Yan to the inner room. There was a big bed, a small bed, several boxes and a large vat in the inner room. The little eunuch opened a box, took out a pair of scissors, and cut off all the hair on Xiang Yan's head. He put a hat on Xiang Yan and tied a fake braid on the back of his head, and took a set of clothes for Xiang Yan to change into.
Xiang Yan was shocked: "How come the style of these clothes is exactly the same as the clothes on the little eunuch? The old eunuch wants me to be the eunuch?" Xiang Yan couldn't help but hesitate, and the little eunuch urged from the side: "Hurry up. Mr. Hai Waiting." Xiang Yan had no choice but to change his clothes and swear in his heart that he would kill the old eunuch tonight.
