Why do people live?

I guess many people won't think about this problem.

A shepherd baby.

Question: "What are you doing with sheep?"

Answer: "Make money."

Question: "What are you doing to make money?"

Answer: "Marry a wife."

Question: "What are you doing to marry a wife?"

Answer: "Give birth to a baby."

Question: "What are you doing with a baby?"

Answer: "Grafting sheep!"

This is the answer given by the most ordinary people to the question of why they live.

Just like the people of Yingchuan, they don’t know why they are alive, nor do they know why natural disasters and man-made disasters come to their heads again and again, and then ruthlessly bully them, torture them, and destroy them. And they are like moths, pounced on the war and strife, and then turned into a wisp of blue smoke, without any trace.

Yingchuan, heavy fog.

In the hazy fog, a group of people walked out.

Although this group of people were wearing custom-made uniforms like soldiers, it was obvious that these were not considered soldiers, but were just similar to soldiers, or they were originally just people, and then they wore soldiers' costumes.

Moreover, the so-called military uniforms do not have armor like warriors, but just red and black battle robes. If you look closely, you can see some differences.

This is just a imitation of the big man's battle robe, and it is very different in terms of fabric or style.

The battle robe is imitated, and these "soldiers" are naturally imitated.

Of course, for ordinary people, they can't tell it.

『The Wangjia Village is ahead...』

"Let's go! Don't stop ahead!"

『Move faster!』

『…』

Noisy sounds sounded in the queue. Although the captain seemed to be tidying up the formation, there was no sign of neatness at all, and even became even more scattered due to the uneven roads.

In order to avoid the puddles on the mud road, some people opened their feet and jumped left and right, but instead slipped and fell down with a grunt, which immediately stained the yellow mud water on most of their bodies.

The farmer working outside Wangjiazhai couldn't help laughing when he saw this, as if he had seen a well-dressed gentleman stepping on the banana peel, but before they could wait for them to be happy for a long time, they found something was wrong...

The group rushed directly into the Wangjia Village on the hillside.

"What are these people... going to do?" A farmer in the field asked, lowering his hoe, leaning on his hands.

"I don't know..." answered in a daze.

Soon, the noise inside the village seemed to show some problems. The farmers working outside looked around and put down their issues and subconsciously followed them into the village.

The noisy sound gradually became louder, and then cried.

"It seems to be Wang Laosan's side..."

"Let's go! Let's go!"

When these farmers arrived, they saw this team of soldiers dragging Wang Laosan and tied Wang Laosan with ropes.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

『Dad! Woooo...Dad...』

『Children's father!』

A messy piece.

In the outer circle were a group of people from Wangjiazhai staring at her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"have no idea."

"Has you committed a crime?"

"have no idea."

"Then what do you know?"

"……have no idea."

The soldiers in the field shouted: "Scatter! They all disperse! What are they doing around them?"

"No, why are you trying to catch Wang Lao San?" In the crowd, someone finally asked.

"Stop meddling in other people's business!" The captain glared, "The superior ordered to arrest him!"

"Why did the superior catch him?" someone asked again.

"How do I know? This is the boss who wants to catch it! It's not me who wants to catch it!" The captain was impatient and pointed his finger at the place where the sound made in the crowd, "Do you want to be arrested together? Hum?! Trying to resist the order and refuse to obey? Hum!"

『…』The crowd fell silent.

Anyway, I'm not here to catch me...

Or, fortunately, I wasn't arrested...

Seeing that everyone stopped speaking, the captain became more and more arrogant. He widened his eyes and shouted fiercely: "Get out of the way! If you don't let go, you will be arrested together! Don't block the way! Those who block the way will also be arrested together according to the order of disobedience!"

The timid people shrank aside when they heard the sound. Even if these people were not standing in the road, then the people standing in the road could not stand any longer when they saw that the surroundings were thin, and they also retreated to the side.

The captain waved his arm arrogantly and threatened the people behind him, "Everyone is honest! You don't have any good results in disobeying the order! Let's take it away!"

A group of soldiers dragged Wang Laosan out.

Wang Laosan was tied up with a rag on his mouth, and was staggeringly pulled by a rope, pulling behind the queue.

After walking through the ridges of the fields, the dirt roads, the official roads, and then we arrived at a small inn.

The captain proudly stepped forward and handed over the order. "Chief, Master, we are arrested!"

"I know, bring the person up!" The head of the pavilion nodded, then stretched out his arms, lifted his sleeves, and shouted in front of Wang Laosan who was taken up, "Wang Laosan! Do you know if you have committed a crime?! Say! Who did you meet at the market the morning before yesterday? What did you say? Who did you tell me? Then you went there? To be honest, don't blame me for being punished!"

Wang Laosan hesitated.

"Oh..." The captain then realized and stepped forward to tear off the rag that was blocking Wang Laosan's mouth.

"Cough cough cough..." Because he had been blocked for too long, Wang Laosan coughed and gasped violently, curled up on the ground like a sheep being skinned, unable to even scream.

"Oh?" The head of the pavilion sneered, "You're still stubborn? Come on! Just hit ten whips first and then ask!"

The captain took the whip handed over by his subordinates with a grin.

He liked this part the most. When he saw a guy with no power to fight back wailing under his whip, he looked at the whip and was bloody and bloody. He became excited, feeling that his hand was not just a simple whip, but also something that made him unable to speak, but would make him as excited as if he had climbed into the sky...

"one!"

"ah……"

『Two!Three, Four, Haha…』

Wang Laosan rolled around in the place, trying to avoid it with the twist of his body, but where could he avoid it?

The place where the cowhide whip was sucked, it immediately became red and swollen, and the blood penetrated outward, dyeing the gray-yellow ground red.

"Stop! Stop!" The head of the pavilion reached out and shouted, then lowered his voice, "Didn't you say ten whips? Why are you going to fight all the time?"

"Uh..." The captain was stunned for a moment, "I couldn't help it... No, it was him who hid around. If he didn't hide, I wouldn't forget to count!"

"Okay, no one will do this!" The pavilion chief waved his hand and repeatedly asked the question he had just now.

Wang Laosan gasped violently, his nose and tears were covered in his face.

"Isn't honest?" the pavilion chief threatened, "Are you going to be beaten again?"

『No! No no…』 Wang Laosan shouted, 『I don’t know, I don’t know…』

"Don't know yet?" said the chief pavilion contemptuously, "I have received the order from the superior. Someone reported that you openly promoted disobedient words at the Wang family festival the day before yesterday and slandered Prime Minister Cao..."

『I have never been to the Wang Family Festival!』

"I didn't say you're going today, I mean you're going the day before yesterday..."

"I didn't go the day before yesterday! I didn't go yesterday!" Wang Laosan shouted, with a real expression, "I didn't go! I haven't gone out for more than ten days! I'm all in the fields! My family... No, the people in the village can testify! I'm all in the village! I haven't gone anywhere in the past ten days!"

The pavilion chief was stunned for a moment.

Something seems to be wrong in this situation.

Wang Laosan said so surely, it doesn’t seem like he is lying. After all, a witness is easy to find. If you say that you can see it in a village, you can testify, and the possibility of interceding in advance is not very high...

It can't help but be a little difficult to deal with.

"Have you been to the Wang Family Festival?" the pavilion chief asked again.
To be continued...
