The sun hangs on the top, and the sun is scorching like fire.

Logically speaking, it is the hottest noon, and there should be few pedestrians on the road, but the official road outside the south gate of Baiyun City is crowded with people.

Those who carry the bags, carry the loads, support the elderly and the young, drive the carts and drive horses, those who lead the cows and sheep, those who carry the chickens, ducks and geese, etc., all kinds of pedestrians are crowded on the not-so-wide official road, pushing and yelling, and it’s very lively.

The pedestrians were different, but the same thing was that everyone was moving towards the city gate.

They were all refugees who fled and wanted to hide in Baiyun City, where the city walls were strong and heavily guarded by heavy troops.

It was not because of the drought, but because the group of blonde and blue-eyed devils living south of Yandang Mountain were killed back. Sixty-eight years ago, their cavalry traveled all over the southern land and slaughtered more than 12 million people. I wonder how many people would die tragically under their butcher knife this time.

The big tooth is a devil hidden in the hearts of every southerner, and his expression changed when he heard it.

Some people say they emerged from the black forest, while others say they conquered cities and landed all the way from the southern border, and the black armored army guarding the southern border was wiped out.

No matter where they came from, they were really here, otherwise why were there emergency recruitment at the gate of the city in front, and the treatment was so generous?

Two meals a day, one meal a day, and two taels of money a month. In addition, as long as one person in the family joins the army, the whole family can live in Baiyun City for free, and the official family also allocates free accommodation.

On the contrary, if no one in the family joins the army, they need to pay enough money to enter the city. The money is collected by the head of the person, and ten taels of silver are not distinguished from men, women, age, or high or low.

Large animals also have to pay silver, one of them is five taels of silver.

In addition, those who pay money to enter the city will not allocate their residence.

There are four city gates in Baiyun City, east, west, south, and north, and each city gate is set up. It is a dream to try to get in with troubled waters or break in forcibly.

This is obviously a forced recruitment of middle- and lower-level poor peasants. One person has to pay for ten taels of silver, and a family of four has to pay for forty taels of silver. How can ordinary families afford so much money? What's more, in this famine year, all the money has been bought for food, so where can there be any spare money?

If you don’t have money, go to the army or go back and forth. However, the big toothed people have scared them to the point of being pissed and panicked like a dog. How dare they go back? In their opinion, only by building a high wall and heavily guarded Baiyun City can they sleep well with peace of mind.

As the saying goes, do not join the army in troubled times, so most of the poor families who choose to enlist in the army are poor families who cannot afford money, and their generous treatment makes them very happy. Even father and son and brothers join hands in the family. Almost no wealthy families who can afford money are willing to enlist in the army.

In addition to recruiting new recruits, there are also businessmen from all walks of life, man-teeth, brothel turtle man, etc.

Many families have insufficient money and are unwilling to join the army, so they have to sell their goods, such as chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and dogs, land deeds, land deeds, land deeds, and slaves, maids and slaves.

What’s gratifying is that no matter what you sell, unless it’s worthless junk, merchants will receive it; what’s hateful is that merchants are unintentional and robbing the fire, which puts the price extremely low.

Like a strong cow, it can sell thirty taels of silver on weekdays, and the merchant at the gate of the city only bids fifteen taels.

A mu of fertile land can be sold for twenty taels of silver on weekdays, but the merchants at the gate of the city only offer ten taels.

As for chickens, ducks, geese, clothes, furniture, etc., it is worthless.

The prices at each of the four city gates are the same. Obviously, these black-hearted merchants have sat together and discussed the price, and are waiting to kill them hard.

However, even if some people are not willing to join the army even if they are sold out, they can only be slaughtered.

"Look, the monk is going crazy again!"

"Haha, fight, fight hard!"

"Oh, I'm a sin. This troubled era has driven all the monks who eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name crazy."

The crowd outside the south city gate suddenly became restless. A bald monk rode a Confucian scholar dressed in a long robe under him, punched his left and right on his white cheek, making the white-faced Confucian scholar cry and cry for his mother.

The crowd automatically moved aside and made a room for the two of them.

Some people like to hear about it, some people cheer, and some people feel heartbroken, and some people blame this troubled times.

The bald monk whispered something while beating.

"You have lost all the men's faces."

"At the time of disaster, shouldn't you, a passionate man, protect your wife and daughter in your arms?"

"It's fine if you don't protect them, but you actually want to sell them to someone's teeth in order to make up for the money to enter the city."

"One or two big ones, five hundred small ones."

"Do you think they are cattle, sheep and beasts that can be bought and sold at will?"

"Where is your conscience?"

"Why are your conscience?"

"I still have the face to say that I am full of knowledge and should be a great talent. After entering the city, I will be valued by the city lord. Then I will redeem them and save them."

"Haha, just a dog who is unkind and unrighteous and conscient, will the Lord of Baiyun City reuse you if he is blind?"

"Are you still full of knowledge?"

"Have you read the books of sages into the dog's belly?"

"If I guess correctly, when you and your classmates were drinking and talking, did you say "Hate you were born at the wrong time, otherwise a long sword would kill all the big-toothed dogs", or "If the war starts again, I will definitely wear a horse and wrap a body"?"

"Oh, why don't you say anything? Did I tell you?"

"Do you know it's embarrassing?"

"You are the coward among men and the scum among scholars."

The bald monk gritted his teeth and said a word and punched the white-faced Confucian scholar in the face. After a few punches, he hit the white-faced Confucian scholar in his face and bloody face.

The onlookers listened to the bald monk's sarcasm and insult to the white-faced Confucian scholar, and generally understood the reason.

I thought this white-faced Confucian scholar didn't want to join the army, but the cost of entering the city was insufficient, so he had bad intentions and wanted to sell his wife and daughter to someone to raise money. But the bald monk found out. The bald monk was so angry that he was so vicious that he started to do something wrong.

"ah"

"You crazy monk, don't beat my husband!"

"I've fought with you!"

A pretty woman screamed and rushed towards the bald monk, scratching her hands on the bald monk's face.

"Woooo, bad monk, don't hit my dad."

"I'll bite you!"

Another girl of seven or eight years old pounced on her crying and bit the bald monk's arm.

"Battle, beat it to death. Such a coward deserves to be beaten to death!"

"Scum, living is a waste of food, hurry up and die!"

"The great monk is so good, I support you!"

"Where did the monk come from? Message nosy!"

"That's right. Don't monks be compassionate? Why don't they show compassion and take out thirty taels of snowflakes and let the three of them go into the city, so don't they have to sell their wives and daughters?"

"Hey, you two have sharp teeth. Did the monk's words poke your pain?"

"Nothing is said, I have a lot of money, so I don't need to sell my wife and daughter."

Some people in the crowd applauded the bald monk, and some were mean, but the latter attracted countless strange gazes as soon as they spoke, or they were retorted a few times, so they could only escape in shame with their heads down.

"Monkey, forget it." A girl in red dress walked out of the crowd, stepped forward and grabbed the monk's collar, and pulled the monk out of the white-faced Confucian scholar.

"Amitabha, sins."

The monk clasped his hands and shouted the Buddha's name. Blood marks on his face were scratched by the woman's sharp nails. Two rows of deep teeth marks on his arms, blood slowly flowed out, and was bitten by the little girl.

The monk ignored the wounds on his body, but just looked at the family of three hugged each other and cried. While wiping the blood on her husband's face, the woman cursed the monk with harsh words and swearing to her husband, and comforted her husband not to take it to heart. She believed that he was full of knowledge, that he would be of great use, that he would soon come to redeemed their mother and daughter.

The monk stared at it in a daze, with endless confusion in his eyes.

He doesn't understand why this is happening?

Did he not understand that those cowards hiding in the city and such ignorant women are worthy of their lives to protect them?

"Monkey, I'm sorry, I've bitten your arm."

"But who asked you to hit my dad?"

"Dad loves me, you can't hit him."

"Ah, it's bleeding! You squat down quickly and I'll give you some bags."

The little girl still had tears on her face. She walked to the monk and apologized timidly. Seeing that the monk was still bleeding from her bite, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief washed from her pocket, grabbed the monk's hand and let him squat down so that he could bandage him.

The monk's eyes fell on the little girl, and obediently squatted down and delivered his arms to the little girl.

The little girl carefully wrapped the wound with a handkerchief, then tied a button on the back of her arm, which was a beautiful bow.

The monk's confused eyes suddenly burst out with his spirit, he grinned and said to the little girl, "The little donor is kind and pure, and he must be a blessed person."

After saying that, he got up and squeezed out of the crowd.

The girl in red dress followed the monk out of the crowd. Seeing that the monk was as stupid as he was, she kept laughing and couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "What's the point of being stupid? Her face was scratched. You should cry."

"It's worth the joy. It's worth the joy." said the great monk.

"I think of something fun to be happy, let me be happy when I say it." The girl in red dress said curiously.

The monk pointed his hand at the crowd and asked, "Is the Confucian scholar worthy of the soldiers on the battlefield who sacrificed their lives to protect?"

"Selling his wife and daughter, a scumbag, I wish I could kill him with one sword!" said the girl in red dress gritted her teeth.

"Is that woman worthy of the soldiers' lives to protect?" asked the monk again.

"Silly and ignorant, although pitiful, they are hateful. It is not worth it." The girl in red dress replied.
