Thriller Night Talk

Wei Fuyuan was very nervous, but still followed Beiquan's instructions, took off his coat, only wearing a thin lining, and walked slowly into the pool of living beings step by step.

If he had to describe it, Wei Fuyuan felt that the moment he entered the pool, the feeling was somewhat similar to the "sympathy" he had experienced countless times.

Feeling dizzy, his vision blurred at first, and then suddenly went black.

Different from the previous experience of empathy, this time Wei Fuyuan did not have a sense of fragmented consciousness.

He was acutely aware of how this had all changed, until another, very different vision appeared before him.

……

"Snapped!"

The scabbard fell heavily on Wei Fuyuan's body.

"Snapped!"

one more time.

"Snapped!"

Then came the third blow.

Wei Fuyuan could feel the pain of his skin and flesh bursting open, and he could also hear the muffled groan he was trying to suppress in his throat, but at the same time, he knew very well that he couldn't do anything, he couldn't even scream, he could only Endure almost suffocating pain with my previous self.

While being tortured, those memories washed away by Meng Po Tang appeared in Wei Fuyuan's mind one after another.

He remembered his origin, and why he fell into such a field.

In the previous life, Wei Fuyuan was surnamed Li, and his ancestral home was a county in the southwest, which was an important hub of the Tea Horse Road.

He was born in a well-known local family. The family ran their own caravan and tea, salt and horse food business, and they were very wealthy.

The head of the Li family's generation was Wei Fuyuan's biological father in his previous life. He was the second in the family, with an elder brother who was six years older than him, and a younger brother who was eight years younger than him.

Wei Fuyuan, or Li Ershao, his eldest brother traveled with the caravan to the Western Regions when he was an adult, and traveled back and forth on the tea-horse road. He only stayed at home for four months in a year.

And Li Ershao also determined to inherit his father's business from an early age, and traveled with the horse team like his elder brother, so he practiced bowing and horses diligently, and developed a good ability at a young age.

However, Li Ershao had not had time to wait until he became an adult, when something happened.

He was 14 years old that year.

It was the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, the current situation was turbulent, civil strife was frequent, and the country was divided and chaotic.

At that time, Liang Wang, who was stationed in the southwest, was loyal to the Yuan Dynasty. Anyone who was reported to have misconduct was suppressed with an iron fist, and the Li family was also implicated.

In the end, the whole family was raided and destroyed in one day.

At that time, Li Er was only a half-grown boy, and he still didn't understand many things.

He didn't know what crime his family had committed. He only knew that suddenly one day, dozens of ferocious government servants broke into their home. Regardless of men, women, or children, they were all shackled and imprisoned. All property was confiscated one by one.

The huge Li Mansion, a century-old ancestral business, was destroyed overnight.

And he has also changed from the second young master of the Li family to a body of guilt.

The imperial court accused the Li family of smuggling weapons. All the adult men in the family were sentenced to be executed in autumn, and the women were made slaves of officials. The underage boys were sentenced to exile for thousands of miles, going north to the war-torn land...

……

Wei Fuyuan relived this unbearable memory of his previous life, while secretly admiring himself in his previous life.

Living in a peaceful age, he was loved and had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. It is really hard to imagine that a 14-year-old child, whose family was ruined overnight, would be exiled thousands of miles away in the turbulent era... It is really possible to live Immortality is a miracle.

It was already early autumn when Li Ershao was escorted on the road by the officials. He was accompanied by several juniors in the clan and his younger brother who was only six years old.

The guards will be held accountable for missing their schedule, and they have to send the prisoners to northern Xinjiang before the heavy snow blocks the road. Along the way, they drive this group of half-sized men on the road like cattle. Hit and scold.

Before going out of the southwestern border, the youngest and weakest Mr. Li developed a high fever due to the cold.

Seeing that the younger brother was burned to the point of confusion, Li Ershao was anxious, and together with a few cousins ​​begged the officers and soldiers for mercy to help Yaodi find a doctor.For this reason, he also took out the gold earrings that his mother had let him hide in his jacket as a reward.

But the officials only snatched his gold earrings and the valuables hidden on everyone's bodies, then beat the disobedient Li Ershao severely, and drove them on the road with leather whips and waist knives the next day.

Finally, two days later, Li Sanshao, who was dying of burns, lay on his brother's back, closed his eyes silently, and never woke up again.

However, the guard didn't even give the Li family boys time to bury the younger brother, and just threw the little corpse in the wasteland...

……

Wei Fuyuan relived this experience in Li Ershao's memory. While he was extremely angry, he also felt the deeper resentment and hatred of his previous life.

Li Ershao's resentment is like boiling magma sleeping in the depths of a volcano, waiting to erupt suddenly one day.

The death of the younger brother was the opportunity to erupt.

That night, Li Ershao stole a waist knife while dragging his unhealed back injury, and killed all the sleeping officials without leaving them behind.

If they killed someone, they were still the guards responsible for escorting them. Naturally, Li Ershao and the few boys from the Li family couldn't even keep their status as "exiled criminals".

They had no choice but to become fugitives, become bandits, and join a group of bandits nearby...

……

When recalling the memories of his previous life here, Wei Fuyuan was more confused while empathizing with him.

He originally thought that in his previous life, he should eat fast and chant Buddha all day long, pondering how to build bridges and pave roads, and save all living beings, the real Holy Mother and living Bodhisattva, but he did not expect that the real situation turned out to be like this.

Since he has turned into a bandit, he will naturally not be a good person.

As a bandit, if he doesn't kill and set fire, and commits all kinds of crimes, he is considered a righteous thief. How can he do good deeds and accumulate virtue?

It may be that the next long period of time did not leave a deep impression on Li Ershao's memory, so when he recalled it, it was as if the video tape was fast-forwarded, and it quickly flashed in his mind And pass.

A full ten years have passed.

Li Ershao has grown from a 14-year-old boy to a 24-year-old handsome young man.

In the past ten years, the imperial court's unification has been unbearable, and the situation has become more and more chaotic. There are wars everywhere, and the people are in dire straits.

In troubled times, there is no lack of heroes, and the leader of the cottage is a ruthless character who can be called a hero for a while.

Under his wrist, the cottage quickly absorbed the nearby refugees and vagrants, and grew from a hundred to ten thousand people, and set up its own banner, calling itself "Xiashan King", and became a moderate armed force.

Li Ershao was also named "General" by the king of Huashan because of his bravery and extraordinary skills in battle...

……

Wei Fuyuan used Li Ershao's memory to look back on the ten years in his previous life, and felt that although he was a bandit, he should be considered a good person overall.

Although he also kills people and steals goods, he has never forgotten his origin and maintained his own bottom line. Not only himself, but also his subordinates, he only robs officials of the Yuan Dynasty and never attacks ordinary people.

Of course, judging from Wei Fuyuan's cognition as a modern person, even so, Li Ershao's actions during the ten years of being in the grass are still full of flaws, but considering that he was forced to come to this point , and in such a situation, at least he kept his conscience intact, which is already commendable and not easy.

——However, this is not counted as doing good deeds, is it?

Wei Fuyuan was still very puzzled.

Memories are still moving forward.

In the same year, the domestic turmoil became more and more severe. While sending troops to reinforce the imperial court, King Liang also paid more and more attention to the rebel forces in his jurisdiction.

Finally, the bandit army approached the area occupied by King Xishan.

The king of Xishan had some military strategies. Relying on his familiarity with the surrounding terrain, he led his generals and decisively hid in the mountains. hide and seek.

As a "general" highly valued by his boss, Li Ershao led about [-] "elite soldiers" and fought many times with the imperial army, all of which he won with his excellent strategy and heroic combat.

One day, spies under Li Ershao came to report that there was an imperial army of more than 2000 people about ten miles to the southeast, moving along the south bank of the valley, as if they were chasing another group of people ahead. .

Li Ershao naturally wanted to find out who was being chased.

The spies did not answer clearly, but judging from the service of those people, they might be some unknown small tribe of foreigners in the mountains.

The southwest is mountainous and densely forested, the terrain is rugged and complex, and there are many tribes.

Many tribes were too remote and had little contact with the outside world. Even the local residents probably didn't even know of their existence. Li Ershao was not surprised by this.

He looked at the map and confirmed that if the imperial army moved along the south bank of the river valley, they would only be farther and farther away from the camp where they were currently hiding, and should not pose a threat to them for the time being.

According to Li Ershao's usual personality, he should have wanted to be on the safe side, regardless of this team of pursuers.

But for some reason, Li Ershao was moved with compassion that day.

He immediately announced the withdrawal of the camp and led his troops to drive up...

……

Wei Fuyuan personally experienced the encounter more than 600 years ago from the perspective of Li Ershao.

In Li Ershao's memory, the details of that battle were very clear, so vivid.

This is because it is the most difficult and dangerous battle Li Er Shao has experienced so far.

It happened in the open area of ​​the river valley. The bandits lost the cover of the mountains and the familiar terrain advantages, so they could only engage in head-to-head close combat with the imperial army, and it was three thousand against two thousand, so their own strength was at a disadvantage. It made the battle even more difficult.

Fortunately, "General Li" finally led his brothers to win this tough battle.

It's just that winning is winning, and Li Ershao's "elite troops" also suffered heavy losses, with nearly half of them killed or injured.
