Pingquan Prefecture, Gaoling Town, Renjiazhuang.

This year, Ren Zhanbiao was twelve years old. His mother had died long ago, and he had a sister who was one year older than him. His father was also in poor health. He contracted typhoid fever and had no money for treatment. He was so skinny that he no longer had the ability to work.

Ren Zhanbiao only went to school for one year. He loved reading and got excellent grades. However, he had no choice but to drop out of school to earn a living as he soon ran out of food.

"Boss, are you hiring here?" Ren Zhanbiao asked as he came to the door of a restaurant.

"Go, go, little kid, we don't want anyone here," the restaurant owner said.

"I don't want any wages, I just need to pay for the stuttering."

"Don't do that either."

"Boss, just do it. I haven't eaten for two days." Ren Zhanbiao was so hungry that his stomach shrank together, his eyes turned blue, and it felt like a steel plate was placed in front of him.

I want to go up and take a bite.

"Want to eat?" the restaurant owner asked.

Ren Zhanbiao nodded.

"Okay, bring me the money."

"I have no money." Ren Zhanbiao said.

"If you don't have money, it's a waste! Get away as far as you can. We're not doing charity here," the restaurant owner said impatiently. "There are so many poor people. Can I save them? Don't do it."

If you are causing trouble here, leave quickly, we still have business to do."

Ren Zhanbiao had no choice but to go to the next restaurant. He couldn't remember how many times he had been rejected. People either thought he was young or thought he was weak and couldn't do heavy physical work, so they refused to accept him.

The soles of his feet were bruised and blistered, and the pain was unbearable. His legs were straight and he could hardly walk anymore.

Fortunately, there is always a path, and finally, with great difficulty, he found a job with a wealthy landlord named Qian Guizi in the town, taking care of food and housing, and he still had a few copper coins a month. Anyway,

It's good to be alive.

From then on, every morning at three or four o'clock, before dawn, when Ren Zhanbiao was sleeping, he would be called up to do some dirty work, such as milling, fetching water, chopping wood, carrying dung, etc.

He had to do all the hard work, from morning until eleven or twelve o'clock at night, until Ren Zhanbiao was exhausted and suffered from back pain.

We have three meals a day, and sometimes we can only eat two. That meal is called rice, but in fact it is not even as good as pig food. It is not as good as the dogs of landlords and wealthy families. If one day the money devils are happy, they will eat the leftovers.

If you give him something to eat, it will be regarded as improving the food.

Ren Zhanbiao also suffered from overwork, malnutrition, and poor development. He was thin, with a sallow complexion and a sickly look.

He usually doesn't talk much and just works hard.

"Ren Zhanbiao, what are you dawdling about? Why are you moving so slowly, as if you haven't eaten for three days? Those two fools carried more than fifty loads of dung in the morning. What about you? It's only been more than twenty loads now. You

How do you work? You are worse than a fool, but you are so good at eating!" Qian Guizi said.

Ren Zhanbiao looked at him and said nothing.

"What are you looking at? If you don't carry fifty loads for me today, you won't be able to eat," Qian Guizi said, "Damn it, why am I so unlucky to spend money to hire a sick guy like you!"

Qian Guizi left cursing.

Ren Zhanbiao didn't say a word. He carried all fifty loads before eating a mouthful of leftovers. Because he was still young, he had to work hard for a long time, which made his shoulders red and swollen. He was panting and coughing uncontrollably.

.

That night, Ren Zhanbiao had just finished the day's work. He remembered that his father and sister were still at home. The family had already run out of food. How had they come here these days and whether they had eaten.

So, he quietly sneaked to the kitchen alone.

He knew that there were pastries made in the kitchen today, and they smelled particularly delicious. During the day, his saliva was all over the floor. He also knew that such good things would not be given to them by the rich devils.

He didn't care so much, pushed the door open, and fumbled around in the dark, and sure enough he found the pastry.

He only drank half a bowl of porridge tonight, just to make ends meet. He was already hungry, so he grabbed a handful of pastries and stuffed them into his mouth.

He ate it until it reached his throat, choked until his head pounded, and burped several times before he was done.

He found another bag and began to put cakes in it, until most of the bag was filled. He planned to send it back to his father and sister to eat.

"??!" At this moment, a big black wolfdog owned by Qian Guizi ran over aggressively and barked at Ren Zhanbiao.

Ren Zhanbiao looked at the big wolf dog's fierce eyes and long fangs. He was frightened and frightened. He picked up his bag and ran out.

However, the wolf dog has been trained for a long time and is extremely ferocious. It follows behind and chases.

No matter how fast Ren Zhanbiao runs, how can a wolf dog run faster?

The vicious dog pounced on it, grabbed the calf of Ren Zhanbiao's right leg in its mouth, and bit it tightly. You could try to get rid of it, but it would not let go.

In desperation, Ren Zhanbiao threw the bag on his shoulder at the wolfdog.

The wolfdog jumped back in fright, but bit off a piece of meat from Ren Zhanbiao's calf, more than one or two pieces, and blood immediately flowed out like a torrent and spread all over the floor along his trousers.

"Ah!" Ren Zhanbiao screamed, causing him to almost faint from the pain.

The barking of the wolf dog alerted Qian Guizi and others.

Qian Guizi came to the scene of the incident with his clothes on. He drank away the wolfdog, then looked at the pocket on the ground and opened it. It was full of cakes. He understood.

"Ren Zhanbiao, you are such a piece of shit, you are so hard to guard against a domestic thief. You fucking eat and drink from me. If that's not enough, you steal from me! You are such an ungrateful wolf!" Qian Guizi pointed.

Ren Zhanbiao, who was sitting on the ground and hugging his legs, said, "You didn't learn well at a young age, but you learned to steal. Then when you grow up and you can do it, wouldn't you become a bandit with a beard? If I don't take care of you today, it's hard to get rid of me.

The hatred in my heart! Someone is coming!"

"Yes, sir!" At this time, two servants came over.

"Hang this boy up and whip him hard with a whip!" Qian Guizi ordered.

"Yes!" These two little slaves still care about that, and they will do whatever the money man tells them to do.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen whips were struck, beating Ren Zhanbiao until his skin was torn, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he passed out.

"Sir, it stands to reason that if Ren Zhanbiao stole something from the kitchen, he deserves to be beaten to death." At this time, Butler Zhu came over to persuade Qian Guizi, "However, he is young, thin, and has an injury on his leg. I don't think he is

It's his first offense. Just calm down and spare him a life. For a few cakes, it won't be a big deal if you beat him to death."

Qian Guizi was still angry and sighed, saying: "For your sake, just let him go and don't beat him. If he commits the crime again next time, the two crimes will be concurrent and he will have to be beaten to death."

This time Ren Zhanbiao just saved his life, and it took him more than a month to recover from his injuries.

Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, it’s spring of the next year.

Qian Guizi bought a dozen more fine horses from other places. Among them was a big red horse named "Red Wind". It was said that it was Dawan's blood-stained horse. It was a thousand-mile horse and Qian Guizi loved it like a treasure.

Qian Guizi gave all the ten horses to Ren Zhanbiao and asked him to manage the grazing, washing, drinking and walking. He also paid ten copper coins every month.

After Ren Zhanbiao received this new task, he worked cautiously and carefully every day, fearing that something would go wrong. If something went wrong again, he would not be able to afford the compensation even if he was shattered to pieces.

That night, after finishing his wine, Qian Guizi came to the stable to see his beloved Red Wind BMW. However, he squinted and looked back and forth several times, but he could not see the big red horse.

"Ren Zhanbiao! Come here!" Qian Guizi said angrily.

Ren Zhanbiao walked over, came to him, and looked at him timidly.

"Let me ask you, where is the red wind horse?" Qian Guizi asked.

"Master, I took all these horses out to graze today. In the afternoon, I was too sleepy, so I took a nap. When I woke up, the big red horse knew where it had gone." Ren Zhanbiao said tremblingly.

replied.

"What? Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you look for it?"

"I have been looking for it all afternoon, but I can't find it. I think it may have gone somewhere to play. Maybe it will come back by itself after a while," Ren Zhanbiao said. "If it doesn't come back by dawn, tomorrow

I'll keep looking."

"It comes back on its own?" Qian Guizi sneered, "Ren Zhanbiao, are you trying to deceive a three-year-old child? I finally figured it out. You kid has always been evil-minded, sneaky, and do anything. This is not the first time for you. You must be watching.

That Chifeng BMW was a good horse with a thousand miles, so you became interested in making money, sold it, cashed it in, and embezzled the money, right?"

"No, no, no, sir, there is absolutely no such thing. What I said is the truth." After hearing what Qian Guizi said, Ren Zhanbiao was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop, "Even if I have the courage,

I don’t dare to do such a thing.”

"Is there anything in the world that you dare not do?" Qian Guizi sneered, "I've seen it. If I don't beat you, you won't tell the truth. Come on!"

"Yes, sir!" The two servants came over again.

"Tie this kid to a tree in the backyard and beat me hard. He is so lawless. He even dares to steal my BMW. He is such an incorrigible thief." Qian Guizi was furious and jumped to his feet to curse,

"Damn it, what kind of virtue did I lack in my last life to meet an ungrateful creature like you? First you stole my cakes, but when you saw that I didn't investigate further, you became more and more courageous, and now you hit me again, Chi Feng.

BMW’s idea came up, and it seems that this good guy can’t do it. I’m really pissed off.”

As soon as the two evil slaves heard their master's words, they refused to say anything, so they tied Ren Zhanbiao to a tree, picked up the whip and started whipping him.

"People often say that a country can be changed easily, but a dog's nature cannot be changed. A dog cannot change its habit of eating shit. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true." Qian Guizi was really anxious this time. "This man is a bitch. The more kind you are to him."

, Tolerance, the more he pushes his limits, becomes more and more exaggerated, no one can persuade him today, it's useless, I have to beat him to death, you are too gentle, step aside, I will do it myself! Beat him to death, throw it away.

Feed the wolves in the back mountains.”

The money devil looked like he was crazy. He casually touched a wooden stick and pointed it at Ren Zhanbiao's body to greet him.

Hearing just two "clicks!", Ren Zhanbiao's ribs were broken in two, and he immediately passed out without knowing what happened to him.

"Master, this boy has expired." A servant came over to take a look and said.

"This won't go without beating! If you die, you will die, little bastard," Qian Guizi threw the wooden stick in his hand to the ground and said, "In the middle of the night, you two, wrap his body in a torn mat and wrap it up.

Just throw it into the ravine in the back mountain."
