Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Yu Xiuer knocked on the door of Xiong’s house:

"Hello, eldest sister, is Xiong Yushi at home?"

Xiong Yushi's wife, Wang, is from Hai County and is also from a lowly background. She used to work as a domestic helper in Zheng Chong's family because of Xiong Yushi's relationship.

Now, I can only do sporadic laundry work to supplement the family income.

When I saw two young people standing outside the door, especially one of them who looked like a scholar, I felt a little overwhelmed.

"You...who are you...?"

Hou Yao said proudly:

"It doesn't matter who we are, as long as you know that we are here to change your destiny."

Wang was successfully frightened by Hou Yao and let the door open.

After entering the gate, Xiong Yushi was sitting in the yard chewing a sugar cane. When he saw two strangers coming in outside the door, he immediately felt a little embarrassed.

Generally speaking, no one from a lowly family like theirs wants to associate with them.

Especially people from the privileged class. Hou Yao wears a Confucian shirt and is at least a scholar.

This alone is not something that lowly people like them can achieve.

"Are you two here to see this villain?"

Hou Yao showed a confident smile and said:

"Yes, your name is Xiong Yushi, right?"

Xiong Yushi nodded honestly.

"I heard that you can make glass beads, right?"

Xiong Yushi frowned when he heard the word "glass".

As lowly people, craftsmanship not only cannot help them change their living conditions, but will instead become a reason for being bullied.

It was because of this skill that he was exploited by Zheng Chong for many years.

Usually jailers are thin and weak, but Xiong Yushi can be so tall and thick.

In fact, he often practiced by himself in a kiln.

In order to keep him in shape, Zheng Chong did not skimp on food, but that was all.

Xiong Yushi finally jumped out of one fire pit, so how could he be willing to jump into another?

So my impression of the arrogant young man in front of me was immediately bad.

"What glass? I'm just an ordinary jailer. Okay, you go.

Mother-in-law, see the guests off and leave everyone else at home. "

After saying that, she turned around and went into the house. Wang quickly ran over to chase them away.

With a "clang" sound, the courtyard door closed.

Hou Yao and Yu Xiuer stood at the door and looked at each other.

"Ms. sir, what should we do now? This Xiong Yushi doesn't seem to like us very much."

Hou Yao was also confused. He was also a time-travel protagonist after all, right?The other protagonists don't all have a "bastard" spirit,

Talented people came to me crying and screaming, how come they were kicked out even if they summoned the jailer?

Isn't this too embarrassing for the protagonist?

What about the protagonist's halo?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he immediately shouted:

"This bastard is so shameless. Let's go back and shake people. As pirates, why should we talk to people?

Bah, I'm really sorry for our status. "

……

Five days later,

On a dark and windy night,

A group of men in black armed with steel knives came to the low earth wall of Hai County.

The leader jumped up to the top of the city, then lowered the rope to lead the others up from the city.

After crossing the city wall, this group of people aimed directly at the Xiong family who lived not far from the corner of the city wall.

The four members of Xiong Yushi's family were sleeping soundly, and before they even had time to scream, they were gagged and tied up.

The man in black carried the four people on his shoulders and retreated quickly.

Xiong Yushi's eyes were full of horror, but he could do nothing. He could only watch his family being carried away.

Seeing that the man in black is about to climb the city wall, if he crosses the city wall, I am afraid that my family will be really hopeless.

Suddenly he saw two old soldiers guarding the city, squatting in the corner and taking a nap. In order to survive,

He tried his best to twist his body, but the man in black was obviously unprepared, and he managed to break away.

It fell to the ground with a 'plop', making a loud noise.

It's just that the two old soldiers seemed to be sleeping soundly and didn't react at all.

Xiong Yushi's eyes turned red, he gritted his teeth, twisted his body desperately and rolled to the feet of the old soldier.

The two old soldiers finally opened their eyes, and Xiong Yushi suddenly showed the joy of escaping.

"No, no, no..."

This obviously means save me...save me...

But the two old soldiers stood up and looked at the two men in black, and then looked down at the shining steel knives in their hands.

One of them immediately raised his foot and kicked back Xiong Yushi at his feet.

"Old Wang, I drank too much water tonight and I need to pee. Would you like to go?"

"Let's go together, let's go together. I've been suffering from an eye disease for the past two days and can't see anything. Please help me."

"If you hadn't told me earlier, I also have an eye disease and can't see. How about we hold on to the wall and walk."

After saying that, the two of them really walked away by touching the wall.

Xiong Yushi's eyes were full of despair.

The two men in black looked at each other, picked up the Xiong Yushi on the ground, climbed up the city wall, and disappeared into the night after a while.

The next day, Ren Hongcai received a report from his subordinates that bandits entered the city last night and robbed a jailer and his family.

Ren Hongcai became furious on the spot:

What kind of bandit, how could he enter the city and rob people?When did the county have a jailer named Xiong Yushi?No one has ever experienced any tribulations?

The county magistrate and the chief registrar also angrily scolded him, saying that if you don't understand the situation, don't talk nonsense. There has never been a jailer named Xiong Yushi in the county.

That night, all the documents related to Xiong Yushi in Hai County County Government were destroyed.

……

On the little black tail boat,

Xiong Yushi finally knew why he was kidnapped.

Looking at the familiar face in front of me, I felt terrified.

Hou Yao patted Xiong Yushi's face with a look on his face and took away the rag from his mouth:

"Old Xiong, look, didn't you drink the fine wine instead of drinking the toast? You're fine now, why are you causing so much unpleasantness?"

Xiong Yushi exclaimed:

"You...who are you? Why do you want to have trouble with me, a pariah? Come against me if you have any grudges and grudges. Let my family go."

Hou Yao helped him sit up and said slowly:

"Don't worry, not only will I not touch your family, I will also let you and your family live a good, positive and healthy life with no worries about food and clothing.

Of course, the premise is that you have to be obedient, otherwise I will be in trouble,

You see, there are so many of us, and I have to give them an explanation, right? "

Xiong Yushi didn't dare to believe Hou Yao's words, he just kept kowtowing:

"I can do anything you want, I just ask you not to hurt my family. The children are still young and they don't know anything yet.

You want me to burn glass, right?I burn, I burn, please let my family go, let them go, I will listen to you in everything. "

Hou Yao said with a troubled face:

"What you said, if I really let them go, can you know whether they are dead or alive? Really,

Besides, I want you to work for me peacefully. How can you do it without your family around?

If you miss your family every day, do you still have the time to study technology?

You have to love what you do, and I plan to train you to become the world's number one glass master. "

Xiong Yushi was dumbfounded. He was a glass master, but he was a porcelain maker.

"Um..., Mr.... Young Master, I... I am a porcelain craftsman, and the glass is just incidental.

Besides, that thing can be burned into beads, so it's not of much use.

It's just that some wealthy kids and brothel girls who play more frivolously like to use it for fun, but it's not that useful. "

Hou Yao had always wondered what the rich people wanted for these glass beads. He suddenly understood after hearing Xiong Yushi's explanation.

It turns out that this thing is used as a sex toy. No wonder the price is so expensive.

Sure enough, this industry has always been extremely profitable in every era.

"Who said I want you to burn glass beads? What I want is glass products, cups, vases and other things, and the most important thing is windows."

Xiong Yushi said anxiously:

"This... this..., I... I don't know how to burn. I can burn two glass beads."

Hou Yao said confidently:

"Of course I know you don't know how. No one knows those things except me, so you should learn from me.

Once you learn everything, earning a million taels a month will not be a dream. "

Xiong Yushi was confused,

He thought he already knew why he was caught before, but now he is confused again.

I just felt that the scholar in front of me looked like a scholar, but was actually a pirate. His whole body was full of lunacy.

But it makes sense to think about it, someone who could do something like kidnapping a jailer's whole family must be insane.

……

The sky was dimming, and the small black-tailed boat had docked at the port of Haixing Island.

Xiong Yushi's family of four landed on Starfish Island for the first time. They originally thought it would be a terrifying pirate cave.

But I didn't expect that this place was actually a very special place. The overall feeling was that it was clean, much cleaner than the county town.

The roads are paved with fine sand, gravel, or shells.

Although it is not as good as the main road paved with the best stone slabs in the county, it is much better than most other dirt roads.

In addition, he also saw a particularly large house and heard the sound of reading loudly coming from inside.

Listening to this noisy sound, there must be at least six or seventy children studying together.

This shocked Xiong Yushi's family. It was impossible to have so many children studying in the largest school in the county.

How many people are there on this island?I'm afraid all the children are in that school.

Before Xiong Yushi's family could recover from the shock, Hou Yao patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Old Xiong, did you see that? That is the school on our island. From now on, your two little guys will also be sent here to study and learn literacy.

When you are working during the day, the little guys can't be idle. Let's work together to have a good life. "

Xiong Yushi looked shocked, then said excitedly:

"Really...really? My boy can...also enter the school?"

Wang also said with a face full of disbelief:

"Sir, you...you said that if my Xiong is a big boy, my second-hand Xiong can also go to...school?"

Hou Yao said with a matter-of-fact expression:

"How novel. Children on the island, under the age of 12 and over five, must be sent to school to learn and read.

Your two boys should both be in this age group, right?How could you not come? "

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of his fear of being dominated by exams as a child in his previous life.

How can it be possible that I am the only one in this world who has suffered such pain?Is there any heavenly principle?

Therefore, this school must be run well, and it must be done in a big way, and no child can be spared.

Xiong Yushi asked in surprise:

"Do you...do you need to pay for this?"
