After more than 200 years, Beiyan was already in its twilight years as an empire. The military settlement system that was originally implemented now only allowed a group of officers to become big landowners, while the soldiers and military households became serfs who farmed for them.
For example, Yu Chengfeng's family had been completely destitute for a long time. Even the weapons had been sold by him for a few cents of wine money.
An Ning suppressed the tension in her heart, carefully packed the scissors, and shook her head.
Seeing that there was no money at home, Yu Chengfeng had no choice but to go out to try his luck. When he was about to leave the house, he was stopped by An Ning.
Yu Chengfeng saw An Ning holding a bowl of hot rice bran porridge in his hand. He seemed to be holding something in his hand, and said to him: "There is some porridge left, you can eat it."
He didn't doubt it, so he took the porridge and was about to put it in his mouth. When he brought it to his mouth, he suddenly saw An Ning's hand holding something slightly raised, revealing the sharp corner of a bright sharp weapon.
Yu Chengfeng's hand that originally brought the bowl to his mouth stopped. He looked at An Ning and the poor little girl in front of him. His eyes were full of hope and despair. For a moment, he scolded the original owner in his heart for turning a flower-like girl into someone. The good girl Xiyu was tortured into what she is now.
"You...why don't you drink?" An Ning was a little scared and took two steps back, fearing that Yu Chengfeng would discover her intention.
Yu Chengfeng naturally saw her actions. He knew that she was abused every day and had no choice but to take this step. He didn't want to argue with her, so he put the bowl in his hand to her mouth and said.
"You go ahead and eat. You've worked so hard. It's time to eat more."
When An Ning saw Yu Chengfeng bringing rice bran porridge to her mouth, she thought her plan to kill him had been discovered, and was so frightened that she froze in place and did not dare to move.
Yu Chengfeng stretched out his hand towards her. She also thought that Yu Chengfeng was going to hit her, so she closed her eyes and shrank her head suddenly. Unexpectedly, the imaginary beating did not fall on her, but instead a hand fell gently on her head.
Yu Chengfeng stroked her head with distress and said, "Don't do such stupid things next time. I won't hit you again. Let's live a good life in the future."
Hearing what Yu Chengfeng said, An Ning's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it.
And Yu Chengfeng here had no time to waste.
After walking out the door, he saw a blacksmith shop. Before he could reach it, he heard jingling sounds inside. Yu Chengfeng quickly ran in to get warm.
Needless to say, the original owner's physical fitness was really poor. After just a few steps, he was already stiff from the cold and out of breath.
It is probably caused by long-term alcoholism and malnutrition. When he has money, he must buy more things to replenish his body and improve his physical fitness, Yu Chengfeng thought in his heart.
When the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop saw that the visitor was Yu Chengfeng, he was quite surprised and asked, "Why did you, a scoundrel like you, come to my place today?"
"Are there any materials for making caustic soda?" Yu Chengfeng asked directly without bothering to answer.
"Yes, do you have money?" The blacksmith answered straightforwardly.
So Yu Chengfeng smiled and asked, "Can I get a credit?"
"Credit?" Upon hearing this, the blacksmith put down the hammer in his hand and said disdainfully, "Give you credit? Are you a rotten gambler who can talk about credit?"
"How dare you come to my place to beat the autumn wind when you drink so much that even your own wife is eager to sell it? Get out! Get out of here!" The blacksmith held the hammer and threw Yu Chengfeng directly out the door.
Yu Chengfeng knew that this was all the fault of his damn original owner, and he couldn't get angry, so he could only think of ways to borrow some money.
Just when he was at a loss what to do, a child ran towards him anxiously from the direction of his home. After seeing him, he hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes and pulled him towards his home. Yu Chengfeng recognized that this child was with him. The children of the widow sitting with me.
Bingtunbao's household registration system is based on the continuous seat system, with ten households living in one seat. This child lives in the same seat as his family and lives close to each other.
"Goudan, what's wrong? What happened?" Yu Chengfeng picked up the child and asked as he walked home.
"An Ning, Sister An Ning is being bullied!" Goudan also shouted and then burst into tears. After hearing this, Yu Chengfeng was so anxious that he put Goudan in his arms and ran home.
After running to the door of the house, I saw a few people gathered around the door, and the sounds of women struggling and men yelling insults could be heard in the yard.
Yu Chengfeng took a deep breath, pulled away the bystanders, rushed into the yard, and saw three or four men surrounding An Ning. They stretched out their hands to take off An Ning's clothes. Several of them pinned An Ning to the ground and let her go. No matter how hard my thin body struggled, it was of no avail.
When Yu Chengfeng saw this scene, his blood suddenly surged. He rushed over and kicked the strong man who was already riding on An Ning to the ground. Then he punched the man who was holding An Ning's hands down with two punches and pulled An Ning up from the ground. , blocking behind.
Although the body was extremely thin, the surge of energy and blood, coupled with the fact that Yu Chengfeng only hit vulnerable parts of the human body, caused the men who were stronger than him to be in pain for a while, holding their wounds and screaming on the ground.
