The fourth brother arranged a mansion for Li Zhiyun as his residence. Li Zhiyun took Yinggu, Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu to live in. Scarface brought a group of soldiers as guards of the mansion.
After traveling through mountains and rivers for nearly a month, Li Zhiyun was indeed exhausted. The next day, he took a nap and it was almost noon when he got up.
One day later, the fourth brother came to him and said that he wanted to take him to see fun games. Li Zhiyun thought he was watching some kind of performance, so he took his personal entourage and followed his fourth brother out of the city and into the wilderness. This is a deserted land, with a wooden platform set up on the ground. There is a large open space in front of the platform, surrounded by warriors holding swords. There was a group of soldiers, about 200 people, lined up in the middle of the field.
Li Zhiyun walked closer and took a look. These soldiers were all women of seventeen or eighteen years old, and some were quite good-looking. They were dressed in military uniforms and carried swords, spears, halberds, and bows and arrows. He asked his fourth brother: "Who are they?"
"These are my maids, and I let them play a war game." After the fourth brother said it, he said to an officer, "Let's start!" So the officer divided the maids into two teams, and the two sides opened a fifty-foot barrier. distance, and then start beating the drum to attack. The fourth brother took Li Zhiyun to sit on the wooden platform and watch the battle.
Li Zhiyun thought at first that this was just a military exercise and that the two sides would stop there. But he didn't expect that those maids were serious about it. They fought fiercely, and several of them fell to the ground after being slashed or stabbed. One of the maids holding a halberd was very fierce and stabbed several people down one after another. She rushed towards the wooden platform. Many of the maids in front of her dodged and got out of the way.
Just when Li Zhiyun was stunned, the fourth brother jumped up and shouted energetically, "Come on." He probably felt that it was not enough, so he jumped off the stage, grabbed the bow and arrow from a maid, and shot at the woman holding the halberd. Since the distance was only a dozen feet away, the arrow hit the maid's chest. She dropped her halberd and fell to the ground.
Li Zhiyun was frightened and jumped off the wooden platform and ran over. He saw the maid lying on her back on the ground with the arrow piercing her chest deeply. She was vomiting blood and was struggling painfully...
Li Zhiyun turned around and shouted to the fourth brother who was slowly walking over: "Come and see, she is almost dead!" But the fourth brother said casually: "If you die, just die. What's the big deal? She's just dead. He is a despicable slave!”
Li Zhiyun looked at the struggling maid and felt extremely angry: This is too barbaric and too backward! Reminds him of the gladiators of ancient Rome. He never expected that such a thing would happen in the land of Datang!
"Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Zheng, Cai Hu." Li Zhiyun shouted to his attendants, "You three, quickly carry this girl into the city and ask the doctor for diagnosis and treatment to see if she can be revived!" After the three agreed, they carried the girl to the city. The maid got up and left. The fourth brother looked at him in confusion: "Fifth brother, what's wrong with you? She is just a humble maid, does she need to be like this?"
Li Zhiyun suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a stern face: "Fourth brother, she is also a human being! Like you and me, she is also a person of flesh and blood who was born and raised by her parents!... I advise you not to play this kind of game again! If you If you don’t listen, then don’t call me to come and take a look!” After Li Zhiyun finished speaking, he said to Aunt Ying who was standing aside blankly, “Let’s go!” After that, he walked away angrily!
The fourth brother looked at his retreating back, spat on the ground, glared at the followers surrounding him and said, "What are you all doing here? Why don't you get out of here!..."
Li Zhiyun left the game field quickly, and Aunt Ying followed him closely, saying: "The fourth young master is too cruel!" Li Zhiyun said bitterly: "He is barbaric! Ignorant! Backward!..." Although Aunt Ying didn't quite understand. , but she knows that the fifth young master is the best person in the world! She has worked as a maid for Madam since she was a child. Madam is also a rare good person. She never beats or scolds her, and she speaks softly, but she can still always feel the strict boundary between master and servant between them. Only the fifth young master is different from others. He never treats her as a human being, but as an equal to himself, even as a friend. Aunt Ying felt really lucky to be able to serve such a master.
When he almost reached the carriage, Li Zhiyun slowed down. If he got angry today, the fourth brother would definitely be unhappy, but he couldn't care less. After all, he is a modern man. If he calmly watches this kind of killing game that regards life as child's play, then he will be sorry for the education he has received, and even more sorry for his own conscience! Only now did he truly realize that the world he lived in was so backward. Whether it was people's natural attributes or social attributes, there were strict hierarchies. In the world of the previous life, although people's social attributes were unequal due to the amount of resources they possessed and the level of their positions, people were all equal in terms of their natural attributes. No matter how rich you are or how big an official you are, if you commit a crime, you will go to jail or even be shot. At least this is what the law stipulates. As for the effectiveness of enforcement, it depends on the level of social governance. This is progress!
Li Zhiyun thought, when materials were extremely abundant, people no longer had the problem of how much resources they had, and social governance was extremely perfect, any position was just a job, and no matter how big an official you were, it could not improve your social status. Only then will people achieve true equality. However, that will have to wait until many years later.
Li Zhiyun returned to the mansion and met Scarface in the yard, and quickly asked: "How is that maid?"
"The injury was too serious. He was already dead before he could be saved!"
Li Zhiyun sighed and said, "Tell Zhang Zheng to buy a coffin, bury her, and carry her outside the city to bury her."
In fact, the fourth brother was not angry with him. A few days later, the fourth brother came and invited him to go hunting again. Li Zhiyun didn't want to go, but in order not to refute Fourth Brother's face, he had no choice but to agree. Fourth Brother's hunting was very grand, with more than a thousand soldiers, and there were more than a dozen large carts in the middle of the team. Li Zhiyun drove his horse over and asked, "What kind of stuff is in this car?"
"This is a net for catching birds, animals, fish and shrimps. I have thirty carts of wire nets like this." The fourth brother said proudly, "I can go three days without eating, but I can't go one day without hunting!"
Li Zhiyun shook his head after hearing this. He and Fourth Brother were walking in the middle of the team when they suddenly saw the people in front of them walking into the crop field. They quickly asked: "Fourth Brother, how did they get into the crop field?"
"Isn't that just to take a shortcut?"
"How can that be done? What should I do if I trample the crops? It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping on the soil. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate has been worked hard. Do you know?"
"Hard work is a farmer's business, what does it have to do with me?"
Li Zhiyun was speechless for a moment, so he had to say: "Do you know how the second brother and third sister lead the troops? Their troops never trample crops, and no soldiers dare to rob people's property!"
"They are them! I am me!"
It’s simply unreasonable! Li Zhiyun became angry and had to say: "Fourth brother, if you don't let them come out of the ground, I won't go. You can go and play by yourself!" After that, he turned the horse's head and went back. When the fourth brother saw it, he had no choice but to give way to the road: "Okay, okay, I listen to you!" Then he said to an officer beside him, "Go over quickly and let them come out of the fields and take the main road!" The officer agreed and drove them away. Horse goes to the front to deliver the order. Li Zhiyun shouted behind him: "Let them slow down and don't trample the crops!"
After the team re-entered the road, Li Zhiyun pointed at an officer and said: "You, take people to lift up the trampled crops and cultivate the soil again!" The officer agreed and turned around to make arrangements.
After arriving at the hunting location and setting up camp, the soldiers spread out in all directions, surrounded the entire hunting ground with a wire mesh, and then began to drive away the wild animals. Li Zhiyun doesn't know how to hunt, so he can only follow and watch the excitement. He saw an injured wild boar being chased by people. The soldiers gathered together to form a human wall and surrounded it. The wild boar rushed left and right, but couldn't get out, so it had to run back and forth, running rampant.
The fourth brother got off his horse and said to the soldiers holding bows and arrows: "Don't let go of your arrows, let me deal with it!" He took the halberd from a sergeant's hand and rushed towards the running wild boar. The wild boar seemed to have found its target and rushed towards the fourth brother with red eyes. It rushed forward and was stabbed by the fourth brother with his halberd. It retreated in pain. This wild boar was very big. It seemed to be completely irritated. It gasped loudly and rushed towards the fourth brother again. This time it rushed so hard that the fourth brother was almost knocked to the ground by it.
The fourth brother dodged the collision of the wild boar and kept stabbing it with his halberd, which made Li Zhiyun terrified. The two sides fought for more than ten rounds, and the strong wild boar finally fell to the ground and stopped moving. The fourth brother was also exhausted. He threw away the halberd and collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily...
Li Zhiyun walked over and praised: "Fourth brother, you are really a fierce general!..."
