Chapter 43 The tragic Xu Dongsheng Whatever happened in the city had nothing to do with slaves.
They need to dig caves with chisels and hammers all day long, and their only worry is whether they will keep up with the prescribed progress today and whether they will be whipped.
This is their life that never seems to change.
The only change is that instead of a bucket of clean water, the guards today sent a bucket full of crushed ice.
A tall slave stopped the chisel in his hand, took half a piece of black dry cake from the guard, and then popped out his big hand like a chicken's paw to scoop up a piece of ice from the bucket, took a big bite of the ice, and then carefully took a bite of the dry cake, and ate very carefully.
In the past, his dogs did not eat such dry cakes, but now, this half of a dry cake as hard as a stone is the only food to support his life.
His gray-white hair hung down long, which was very harmful to him when he was eating, so he pulled his hair into a bun to reveal a long, blue-gray cheek.
He has high cheekbones, which gives him cheekbones When the guard was gone, the man sped up his eating of the dry cakes, and the upper and lower rows of yellow teeth quickly finished the dry cakes with a creaking sound like a crusher.
Because of the location, the two slaves who had to get close to him tried to get up and run away, but they were caught by his big wizened hands.
Slammed their heads against the stone wall with a loud and empty thud, and by the time they let go, the two bloodied slaves had passed out.
He laboriously pulled out two small pieces of dry cakes from the slave's hands, and ate them cleanly in three or two strokes, regardless of the saliva stained on the dry cakes.
This little food was not enough to fill his stomach, so his fierce gaze was fixed on the dry cake in the hand of an old slave.
The old slave rubbed his buttocks on the ground, trying to get away from the fierce man, and the fierce man stepped over in three or two steps and mercilessly snatched the dry cake from the old slave's hand.
He still hasn't had enough to eat......
It's just that the dry cakes in the hands of the remaining three slaves can't be snatched anymore, and they have already robbed their food yesterday.
If they rob again, these three people will starve to death.
"Eat a piece of dry cake from you today, and when Lao Tzu goes out, I will return you a roast sheep, the kind weighing 100 catties, and I definitely don't need lambs to fool you."
The fierce man seemed a little embarrassed, and promised the rest of the slaves in an aggravated tone.
The old slave seemed to be accustomed to such a thing as being robbed of food, and took out a piece of cold ice from the bucket and squeaked and bitten, hearing the fierce man say this, he shook his head and said weakly: "I can't get out, I've been here for twenty years, and I've escaped three times, and each time I'll be caught......"
The fierce man shook his head and said, "Didn't you hear that loud noise yesterday?"
And what was delivered today was ice, not water?
” A slave who quickly finished his share of food said: "The sound may be a landslide, and the delivery of ice is the laziness of the guards......
"Breaking ice is more troublesome than carrying water, I used to have a brother, he can make a thunderous sound, but unfortunately I can't hear it very clearly, if it's outside, I know if it's the sound of heavenly punishment."
The time to eat was a rare rest time of the day, and the fierce man saw that his words could not arouse the attention of other slaves, so he wrapped his torn leather jacket around his body a little tighter, and leaned his head against the stone wall to pretend to sleep.
"If I didn't choose to leave when the Black Storm came, but stayed in Hami with Tie Xinyuan, would the situation be better than now?"
As long as he has leisure, Xu Dongsheng will ask himself this.
Fleeing from the Black Storm and the approaching Khitans, he plunged headlong into the encirclement of horse thieves.
Even if he gave all his gold to the horse thief, he and his brothers still could not escape the fate of being enslaved.
For half a year, seeing his brothers being enslaved to death one by one, Xu Dongsheng couldn't help himself.
Now, I'm alone......
The prince of horse thieves, who was tempted by his own words about the prosperity of Tokyo, hadn't seen anyone else for three months.
The old horse thief is right, a prosperous life does not belong to a fierce horse thief, and that kind of life will only wear away the courage of the horse thief little by little.
That's how the old horse thief used his whip to pinch out his only hope of getting out.
Gentle Township is the truth of the hero's mound, Xu Dongsheng naturally knows it, but he doesn't feel obligated to tell the horse thief prince about it.
Whether it is a hero or a hero, a strong will is an important quality they must have, this thing, the old horse thief king has, but the horse thief prince does not.
Xu Dongsheng, the second ancestor of this kind, has seen a lot, and his three children are also this kind of goods, he knows what such a person wants, very clearly.
They are not fools, on the contrary, they are all smart people, but ah, it is these smart people who can see through the so-called surface and see the so-called essence of things.
They believe that the ultimate goal of hard work and active life is to enjoy, and since the wealth created by their parents is enough to enjoy life, why should they struggle?
They clearly see from their parents what a painful process struggle is, and once there is a possibility that they can omit struggle, they will immediately omit it, and as for the hard work of their fathers, they are the capital they use to enjoy.
Xu Dongsheng has fantasized countless times if Tie Xinyuan is his son......
He had no regrets even if he died in this cave.
It's a pity that the assumption can only be an assumption, and the sons of their three flesh and blood relatives are probably spending time in Jingzhao Mansion now, and they don't know that their father is now relying on the ability to fight, so that he can eat a little more.
The two warriors suddenly broke into the cave, and roughly picked up Xu Dongsheng and walked out, Xu Dongsheng didn't understand what was going on, and reluctantly put on a smiling face and said, "Where are the two heroes taking me?"
Be careful, I'm dirty, be careful of soiling your clothes. ” The horse thief let go of Xu Dongsheng in disgust and roared: "If you can go, go, the king wants to see you." ” Xu Dongsheng heard this sentence as if he had been slapped with a stick, if it wasn't for the prince of horse thieves who spoke to him, the king of horse thieves would have killed himself a long time ago.
It would be a good thing if you went to meet the prince of horse thieves, but nothing good would happen if you met the king of horse thieves.

Xu Dongsheng sighed secretly, the shackles on his feet could have been chiseled by a chisel a long time ago, but he left a rivet unopened for the sake of caution, thinking that as long as there was a chance, it would be a matter of a hammer.
Now, he can only look at the hammer he threw on the ground in despair and lament, and the time is also fatal!
The shackles could not be untied, the steps were not large, and there was no way to escape from the West Sea, and when he came in, he had seen the West Sea.
Without a strong body and abundant supplies, a person cannot walk out of this desert.
The smile on Xu Dongsheng's face did not decrease, he put his hands in his hair, and vigorously brushed the scattered hair on his sideburns, revealing the entire pure Song face, even if he died after a while, so that the ancestors could see his face clearly.
Happiness came too quickly, too suddenly.
When Xu Dongsheng drank warm milk in his mouth, his body was covered with thick fur, and his feet were soaked in the hot water, he was still confused.
Horse thieves are not in the habit of giving people a delicious meal of severed heads.
However, the prince of horse thieves trapped in a pile of furs made him completely aware of his current situation.
That's the bitterness that comes at all!
It's amazing that the prince of horse thieves has become the king of horse thieves......
"You say, there will be countless delicacies and endless songs and dances in that city, night or day?"
Xu Dongsheng smiled proudly and said: "When it comes to Bianjing, as long as people who have been to Bianjing have only dreamed.
The Bianliang in the dream, the eight wildernesses are contending, all the countries are salty, the road is full of flowers, the drums are noisy, the BMW carved car is full of incense, a car, all the way, the dark fragrance is crossing.
Sleeping beauty is better than looking at beauty, looking at beauty is better than thinking about beauty, wait until my king reaches this point and then talk to me about Tokyo Bianliang City.
The king only asks about food and dance, but he doesn't know that this is the most inferior enjoyment in the capital, the spring melons and fruits of the mother-in-law's crossing, the ever-changing fish and dragons of the nunnery, the fierce competition in the tile market, the leisure of the people in the market, and the pomp and circumstance of the dignitaries, when all these things are under the eyes of the king, you will feel that you have just met Bianliang City, Tokyo. ” "The cities of the Western Regions are ...... than Tokyo" As soon as Runur said this, he smiled embarrassedly.
Xu Dongsheng threw a piece of cooked mutton into his mouth and laughed: "I don't dare to compare, when my king arrives in Bianliang City, Tokyo, there will be a comparison in his heart, if you think that Tokyo City is not as good as you imagined, then cut off my head and hang it on the wheel of the carriage, and let my head kowtow on the ground every time your wheel turns." ” Hurunur's eyes became misty, and he muttered to himself, "What kind of scene will a city-state with millions of people live in?"
” Xu Dongsheng tried hard to stop his hand grabbing the food, and warned himself that he couldn't eat it anymore, because he would definitely eat something wrong if he continued like this, and finally drank a mouthful of milk, and then completely gave up and continued to eat.
"Wang, if you start your journey to the Song Kingdom early tomorrow morning, in three days you will reach the Sandstone Mountain, and in ten days you will arrive at the sandbar on the border of Western Xia.
Twenty days later, you will arrive in Ganzhou, and a month later, you will arrive at Lanzhou, the border between Western Xia and Song.
When you arrived in Qinzhou after passing through Lanzhou and finally came to Jingzhao Mansion, it was already a month and a half later.
In the next suggestion, Wang took a short rest in Jingzhao Mansion to feel the elegance of the Great Song Dynasty in advance, so that when you arrive in Bianliang City, Tokyo, you will be proficient in the pulse of the city, and thus begin to take the first step to enjoy the prosperity of the world. ” Hurunur slowly sat up from the pile of furs, looked at Xu Dongsheng with a smile and said, "Okay, let's set off tomorrow!"
” "Huh?"
Xu Dongsheng couldn't help but open his mouth wide!
