Chapter 2 Past and Present

After living for two lifetimes, Gu Qing was an orphan. Fate was like a hysterical mad girl, aiming at him again and again and again to pull the trigger, and hit the gun.

In his previous life, he was thrown at the gate of the welfare home when he was born. He stumbled and grew up with a group of orphans. In addition to lacking family affection and having to compete with his peers for limited life resources in a rough way, like all ordinary people, study, work, setbacks, growth, short-term happiness, and unreliable knots.

In the middle of the night when he was awakened by a nightmare, Gu Qing, who had been insomnia for a long time, had a mental breakdown and filled a whole bottle of white wine in one breath. When he woke up again, he had passed through the halo of time and came to this barren mountain village.

In the ninth year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, haha, this crazy girl, fate, did this miss this time?

Gu Qing in this life is still not treated well by the world.

He is still an orphan, and in fact, this village is a combination of orphans, widows and old people's villages.

The world was not peaceful these days. Tubo in the west, Uighurs in the north, Nanzhao tribes that were ready to move in the south, etc. Shuzhou was under the jurisdiction of Jiannandao vassal states and frequently fought against the outside world. Nowadays, most of the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were employed, so many young and strong people in the village threw away their farm tools and volunteered to enter the soldiers, and exchanged their lives for military merits and food.

In recent years, some people have indeed earned military merits, and some have been promoted to military officers. They brought dozens of subordinates back home happily. The next day, they took their parents, women and children out of the village and moved their families to the relatively prosperous Qingcheng County.

However, more people died in battle, and after the war, they counted casualties, and the officials made a book and threw a hundred-civilized copper coins at home as a pension.

Most of the fathers of the children in the village died in battle, leaving behind orphans and widows to support the broken home, and there were veterans who survived by chance, but they were all disabled people who were missing their arms and legs.

So many young men died in battle, but the people in the village continued to join the palace soldiers.

This is not surprising. Even if there is only one in a thousand chance of becoming successful, young people will not give up. For them, the fear of staying in this small mountain village for a lifetime is stronger than killing their bodies. The soldiers who enter the palace may die in battle, but will not be starved to death.

This mountain village is too barren. There are more than ten acres of low-end land at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, and it is necessary to support more than 100 people in the village. Such poor landslides are not even lazy to redeem them. So the only good news is that although the village is poor, everyone belongs to the same class. Well, they are all poor farmers. There are no landlords in the village, and the fields are cultivated by each household.

This is a mountain village where there is no hope. Young people are unwilling to spend their lives in this hopeless village, but women, children and the elderly hope that the mountain village will always be peaceful and peaceful, and spend the rest of their lives half hungry and half full.

The exception is that Gu Qing's parents did not die in battle, but disappeared.

One night many years ago, his parents entrusted Gu Qing to their neighbors, and then left Shiqiao Village in panic. It is said that they were hiding from enemies. Because their future was dangerous and life and death were unknown, the couple could not bear to touch Gu Qing, so they left him in the village. For them, being an orphan is better than death.

Relying on the money left by his parents, Gu Qing spent his childhood of not having enough food and starving to death. As he grew older, his parents spent almost the same amount of food left by his parents. Fortunately, in addition to the money, his parents also left him a mu of thin land. When Gu Qing was ten years old, he learned to farm under the guidance of his elders in the village. After paying taxes from the government every year, he could barely support himself.

As for whether their parents are alive or dead, and who are from whom they actually have enemies, Gu Qing didn't care about these issues at all.

If everyone is not familiar with each other, it will be sunny if they are well.

…………

Gu Qing squatted on the stone steps in front of the door, staring at the Qingshan in the distance, staring blankly. His eyes were confused, and his hands unconsciously rubbed back and forth on his thighs.

I was indescribable and bored. I have been in this world for two days. He is still in an inexplicable state of confusion. He feels like he is dreaming. The dream continues endlessly and cannot wake up even if he wants to.

Song Gensheng stood timidly behind him, his eyes full of awe.

This childhood friend who has been playing since childhood has become so strange overnight, which makes Song Gensheng at a loss. Gu Qing was honest and cowardly before, and anyone could bully him. But since yesterday, everything has changed. Not only is Gu Qing not cowardly, but he also directly destroyed the bully Ding brothers at the top of the pyramid of Shiqiao Village. The sheep instantly turned into an evil tiger and achieved a gorgeous counterattack.

Song Gensheng's emotions are very complicated at this moment. He seemed to see Shiqiao Village bid farewell to the old and welcome the new future. The old village tyrants fell down. A generation of new village tyrants rose slowly like stars. From then on, he led a group of dog legs to rush around the village and grab eggs from the villagers' baskets...

Gu Qing didn't realize that his image in the eyes of his little boy had become an upgraded version of Village Trouble 2.0. He rubbed his face with confusion and sighed slowly.

Since you come, you will be at ease. Otherwise, what else can you do? You are unwilling to be tricked by fate, and you have the will to commit suicide.

It’s better to live than to die. It’s better to pick up the bowl and say sincerely, “It’s so fragrant”.

"You... be careful of the Ding brothers." Song Gensheng said with his lips stammering.

"Huh?" Gu Qing glanced back at him, frowned, leaned over and put his head in front of the water tank to look at his appearance, then looked at Song Gensheng, showing a proud smile.

Although I had an unhappy face, my facial features were still very reasonable, and I looked like a unique depressed temperament and charming. On the other hand, Song Gensheng looked more ordinary.

"You are not as good-looking as me." Gu Qing made a final decision, his tone was unquestionable.

"Ah?" Song Gensheng was a little confused. The channel was wrong.

"Pretty is justice, so let's get along with me in the future." Gu Qing paused and said, "What did you say just now?"

Two sentences and three jumps, Song Gensheng was a little panicked, feeling a little panicked as he was washed away by the waves. - Am I abandoned by the times? Otherwise, why don’t you understand what he said?

"The Ding brothers will not give up, you have to be careful of them." Song Gensheng repeated.

Gu Qing's eyes flashed and he sneered: "It's just two rats."

Song Gensheng was stunned for a moment and said, "You almost killed them today. Ding Dalang is used to being rampant. How could he suffer such a great humiliation? They will definitely take revenge."

Gu Qing said indifferently: "Then take revenge. Two rogues who can only bully women, children, young and old in the village, can they expect them to have a lot of prospects?"

Because of poverty, it is simpler. The village does not have so many intrigues. The neighbors are already in a difficult situation and have no energy to form clans. On weekdays, the big and small matters of the village are decided by several older people. In today's era, the grassroots forces for consolidating rule and maintaining public order mostly rely on the clan elders in the countryside, and they will only be reported to the county government unless there is a major criminal case.

So Gu Qing did not take the Ding brothers to heart. Although the two brothers were village tyrants, they had always fought alone. Their ability could not organize a gang of evil forces. As for how to make the Ding brothers honest, Gu Qing's idea was very simple, just ruthless.

The evil ones are beaten by the evil ones, and this sentence makes sense. Gu Qing is the evil one who is even more evil than the Ding brothers.

Seeing that Gu Qing didn't care, Song Gensheng wanted to persuade him, but recalling Gu Qing's vicious means to deal with the Ding brothers, Song Gensheng shut up consciously.

Those who can dig a big hole in their own yard and ask you to get into the trap must be a tough person. They must respect and look up to the tough person.

Suddenly thinking about something, Song Gensheng couldn't help asking: "What do the two words you forced the Ding brothers to call yesterday and today?"

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, then explained seriously: "'Dad' is the Hu language of the barbarians of the Western Regions. It means surrender and surrender, and it can also express respect. It is a ceremony for the loser to express his refusal to the winner from now on."

Song Gensheng suddenly realized, his mouth opened into an O-shaped shape. Although he didn't understand why a poor boy in a mountain nest understood the terms of barbarians in foreign countries, this mysterious and high-end ceremony instantly conquered Song Gensheng.

The reason why the strong are strong is because they have a tough mind, ruthless means, and knowledge that mortals do not know.

Gu Qing became very strange, but undoubtedly became a strong man. How can he disrespect the strong man?

So Song Gensheng stared at Gu Qing's face with burning eyes. Gu Qing didn't hear any movement for a while, turned his head to look at Song Gensheng. The two of them touched each other. Seeing that Song Gensheng's eyes seemed to be wrong, Gu Qing was also stunned and looked at him for no reason.

"dad!"
