Chapter 1813

Matthew is not only a refugee, but also a slave.

When they heard him narrate in a calm tone, Jiang Pengji and Lv Zheng felt a restrained anger.

In those years, Matthew did escape to the relatively stable Beiyuan in order to avoid disaster.

But he didn't expect that Beiyuan's soft knife would hurt more than the bloody chaos.

When the Mathews fled, they carried money with them. He also knew the truth of not revealing his wealth. He was careful to escape all the way, but he didn't attract covetous attention. After arriving at Beiyuan, trouble followed. Ma Xiu is a common people, and the status of the common people in Beiyuan is much lower than that of the outside world. At that time, like Ma Xiu, many Dongqing people went to Beiyuan to avoid disasters. Beiyuan officials treated these people like animals. Corvee is the heaviest and the largest number of taxes, which almost kills people and exploits them.

When Matthew realized that Beiyuan wanted to leave, there was a coup in Beiyuan court.

The factions at the top of the coup treated the common people and the refugees more harshly. If the taxes could not be collected, they would directly enter the base nationality and allow them to be bought and sold. Some Beiyuan scholars were angry, but trying to argue with them ended up wringing their arms and legs and bleeding.

The Matthew family's savings could not stand such exploitation, so they naturally tried to leave.

However, this is a wolf's nest. It's easier to come in than to go out.

Beiyuan's population is the least among the five countries. People's exit is strictly controlled. In the later stage, it evolved into who goes out and who dies.

Matthew could only hold back and look for opportunities.

At this time, a disaster from the sky hit him right.

In order to fight against the upper factional forces, a group of people of insight gathered to call it the "new faction" and planned to put the old faction down by means of coup assassination. As a result, they were discovered by the leaders of the old school before they started. They first started to force them to bring the "new school" to a pot.

The end of a pot is not accurate because there is a fish in the net.

The escaped fish swam to the back door of Matthew's residence, fell into the snow and was rescued home by his wife who went out to buy.

The old school came to the door, and the Mathews were arrested on the charge of "harboring criminals".

If you don't copy your property, you can break into a cheap family.

Ma Xiu became a worker in Beiyuan gentry's back house to brush the toilet. His wife and daughter were captured and sold to the brothel, and his son was sold at a low price

His wife blamed herself and killed herself by hitting a pillar.

The daughter left an unknown benefactor's flesh and blood, fell ill and died in a dark lane.

The little son was killed in Yi's palace forcing incident, and the red eyed Yi's private soldiers cut off his head.

After several twists and turns, Matthew and his young granddaughter were trafficked again and again, and finally became a guard veteran in a small town near the border. Hearing that the enemy soldiers were about to attack, Ma Xiu packed his bags and walked to the snow city with the refugees.

Matthew was actually ready to die before he came.

Because on the way, he heard that Qi Guan let iron and blood kill refugees. He knew that this decision was correct. He also knew that he would die if he broke through. But... For the sake of his former Dongqing people, he doesn't expect the bones to return to his hometown. He just hopes that his granddaughter can get pity. It's better to be adopted or bought by anyone... It's really not good. It's better to bury him under the snow city nearest to Dongqing.

They are refugees who walk on their feet.

Matthew is pretty good. At least there are some old shoes taken off by some dead man, and many people are barefoot.

Before they arrived in Xuecheng, they were scouted by the patrolling cavalry, and all of them were caught.

I thought I would die, but I didn't expect these soldiers to let them take dry food. Don't think about sneaking into Dongqing.

Matthew heard that the refugees around him were crying, and he knew the identity of the leader of the enemy soldiers from some refugees.

In a trance, there was a feeling that when the mountain was at its end and was about to despair, there was a bright future again.

"Grandpa?"

My granddaughter is very thin, with a big head and a small body. Every time I see her like this, I worry about whether she will break her neck.

Matthew said, "don't worry, grandpa has a way."

He said so, but he didn't have a clue in his heart.

Even so, he was desperate to see Jiang Pengji and reported his name.

No one thought Matthew, a bad old man, had anything to do with the Lord of the world. Even Matthew himself felt suddenly - when he was young, he really knew such a figure - or were those young memories just his daydreams?

When he waited anxiously, was summoned and trembled to see Jiang Pengji, time seemed to go back all at once.

He saw not only the dignified female princes in front of him, but also the bright young man in red who laughed and scolded in Langya county. Obviously, there are two completely different pictures, but at this time, they overlap in front of him and fit perfectly, both people and scenery.

Time flies, years treat me like wind, snow and sword, and you are still like a boy in fresh clothes.

When talking about these things, Matthew's muddy eyes didn't have a ripple.

It is not the calm after the wind and snow, but the lifeless silence.

Jiang Pengji sent someone to settle down with Ma Xiu and sent a doctor to diagnose his pulse. Ma Xiu smiled and thanked him.

The doctor examined the pulse and prescribed medicine, and then replied to Jiang Pengji.

"The oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry... If you hang it with refined and precious medicinal materials, it will last for a few months..."

Doctors can cure stubborn diseases, but they can't save people who are dying.

The only thing Jiang Pengji can do is to make Ma Xiu's last days better and live more.

When she corrected the document, the ink splashed black dots.

"How many days can you live?"

The doctor said, "late spring and early summer next year."

Jiang Pengji waved, "go down, I know."

Today's live studio was very silent, and those naughty salted fish didn't say anything.

Qi asked her, "what's the Lord thinking?"

She whispered slowly, "can the world be one in late spring and early summer next year..."

In another place, Ma Xiu and Lv Zheng are silent. Ma Xiu's granddaughter is chewing and swallowing soft meat cakes.

"... a man has his own fortune... It's just life... Why does Shaoyin show such a sad look?"

Lv Zheng mocked himself, "I'm cold hearted on weekdays. It seems that I'm especially sad today."

Ma Xiu smiled, "today is a rare day for me to celebrate for more than ten years."

It's naturally festive to find someone who can support you before you die.

Lv Zheng wanted to say something comforting, but he couldn't say anything in his mouth.

Recalling the past is bullshit.

For Matthew, who suffered all his life, the better his youth, the more miserable his later life.

They really want to recall the past, just sprinkle salt on Matthew's wound.

"... if you have three advantages and two disadvantages, this child, I will treat you like myself."

Matthew was not hypocritical and waved to the child. The child hesitated to put down the meat cake and sat down next to Matthew's bed.

"He -" Matthew joked, "he will be your fake father in the future."

Lv Zheng blackened his face and corrected, "it's grandpa!"

He adopted Matthew's granddaughter as an adopted daughter. He was a generation short of Matthew!

The girl blinked and didn't know what to shout.
