Zhu Da was getting more and more adapted to his current life, but he was not very sure of his qualities. For example, he would overreact. When he saw a few riders approaching quickly, he subconsciously wanted to avoid it. After seeing the military households in the fields, he realized that this was the norm and remembered that every once in a while, there would be knights dressed up in this way coming to Baibao Village.

Like the closed villages back then, outsiders, especially the unique outsiders, always attract the curiosity and attention of the children. Before the knights entered the village, the children from Baibao Village had already surrounded him. Looking from afar, Zhu Da was also curious and followed him.

The four knights had slowed down their horses before entering the village, and everyone could keep up with it. The children's curiosity was on the way, while Zhu Da was looking at the people and horses and everything carefully.

The knights were all strong men in their twenties and thirties. They were dressed in neat clothes, covered their heads with cloth, and each of them wore swords. A nearly four-foot-long goose feather knife hung on the side of the saddle. One of them had leather armor on his body. The four knights had no expression on their faces, and occasionally glanced around, with contempt and disdain.

Zhu Da did not miss any details that he could see. Too many things were different from the impression he had in more than twenty years. For example, this horse should be a type of Mongolian horse, but the Mongolian horses I saw back then were all short, while these horses were much taller. There were also some differences from memory of how to hang weapons on saddles, how to place saddle bags, etc.

The Yanling Knife looked unambiguous. Although it had not been sheathed, it was definitely not a good person. After all, in this era, the sword was used to kill enemies, and in the past it was used to fool people into acting.

The mount is good, the weapons are good, and the knight looks majestic. The kind of ingenuity shown in every move must have been professionally trained.

But Zhu Da was also a little puzzled. These four knights looked sophisticated and well-trained, but they did not have the evil spirit of the old man Xiang Yuexiang. Haven’t they been exposed to blood or killed anyone?

"These are all servants of the master's house. Don't be considered as servants, they are more valuable than Mr. Li who is in charge of the affairs." Zhu Da remembered his parents' words, "Mr. Li" means Mr. Li, and the "Master" must be a figure of Qianhu and Commander level.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw four knights who did not enter the village and stopped at the entrance of the village. Li Ji, General Banner, had already walked out quickly, and there were two young men around him. Zhu Da also recognized these two men, Li Ying and Li Jian, who were responsible for General Banner in Baibao Village. Li Ying was the boss and would inherit the position of General Banner in the future.

The village was full of words. The mighty Mr. Li smiled with a grudge at this moment, with a humble attitude and said diligently: "Fifth brothers and others have come here to work hard. The family has prepared refreshments and food, got off the horse and went into the house to rest, and drink a little wine to relieve fatigue!"

The chief flag is a hereditary military officer with status, and the servants serve others. The noble and humble are clearly distinguished, but judging from the manners and attitudes of the people in front of him, they completely turned over.

The four knights did not dismount at all. The leader said sneered: "Whoever leaves you with this bad wine, you don't have to spend money. Lao Li, this time, I am telling the butler that I will start collecting grain and paying rent in ten days. You can prepare early and don't delay it, otherwise no one will be able to afford to be guilty!"

"Save it, save it, please don't worry, Mr. Luo, Old Li can't delay his errands." Mr. Li replied with a smile, turning his head to wink while saying that. Mr. Li's two sons held up their bags with both hands, and the bags were quite small.

The knight named "Fifth Brother" frowned at the bag, and did not stretch out his hand, but said there: "Just take out the money order!"

The two young men of the Li family were familiar with this. They quickly put down their arms with a flattering smile, took out a fist-sized cloth bag from it and handed it on them. The fifth brother took it, weighed it in his hand a few times, shook his head and said coldly: "Even poor people can't count on too many."

After saying this, he didn't even look at it, and threw the small cloth bag into the saddle bag. Judging from the extent of the saddle bag, he collected a lot of it along the way.

I thought I was about to leave, but I never thought that the knight beside my fifth brother drove the horse and took a step forward, and rushed to Li Jian, the second son of the Li family. Before everyone could react, the knight drew his sword out of the sheath and slashed it violently. The light of the knife shone under the sun was shining.

No one expected that he suddenly waved his sword, and the surroundings were shocked at first, and then screamed in shock. Mr. Li also said "ah". Zhu Da was so excited that he was about to kill someone and see blood? Are there any rules and kingly laws?

After being shocked, he did not see blood splashing everywhere, nor did he hear a shrill scream. He only saw Li Jian kneeling on the ground, his shoulders collapsed, and he was crying for pain.

"Who gives you the courage to make your face look at our fifth brother and mumble, are you scolding? Are you disrespectful to the Luo family?" The knight waving the knife pointed at Li Jian and shouted. Only then did everyone see clearly that the knight was using the back of the knife.

Mr. Li reacted and hurried forward, but did not help him. Instead, he kicked Li Jian to the ground and cursed: "How dare you, a bastard who kills thousands of swords, be rude to the fifth brother!"

After saying that, he kicked Li Jian a few times, rolling around the ground and crying. After kicking, Li Jicai, General Secretary Li, laughed and said, "Fifth Brother, this bastard is ignorant. Fifth Brother, don't bother with him. If you wait, I will go to the grandfather's mansion to invite you to drink and apologize!"

The fifth brother just nodded and turned his head expressionlessly. He didn't care that a group of people were surrounding him, and directly accelerated the horse and ran out, causing a burst of exclamation. Many people dodged away in a manner, and even Zhu Da on the side of the road was pushed a few times and almost fell down.

Four knights passed by on horseback. When Zhu Da heard one of the horses disgusted and said disdainfully: "Like a pig or a dog!" Yangchen left.

No one was fussing about the manners of these four knights. Everyone took it for granted. As soon as the knight left, except for the excited discussions of the children, the adults who came over dispersed to work.

Zhu Da looked at Mr. Li to help his second son up. The anger on his face just now disappeared, but he was full of helplessness and anger. While supporting him, Zhu Da saw Li Chunhua standing not far away. The little girl's face was no longer arrogant, and her face was full of panic and fear.

It turned out that this was an era of prey on the weak... The scene just now was just a sudden incident, and it could not even be cruel and bloody. At best, it was domineering and arrogant. Zhu Da was familiar and unfamiliar with everyone's natural attitude, and related memories all emerged.

The commander, the trusted and servants of thousands of households, were all heavenly people in the military garrisons of the hundred households below. They were always unscrupulous. They once rode their horses and ran to death in the village, trampling to death a child who had no time to hide. Afterwards, they also suffered a lot of trouble after drinking and ruined the daughter who was not married. The poor girl committed suicide. The perpetrator was only beaten ten times, and a small flag that was righteous was broken. The whole family was defeated and the daughter fell into chaos...

It turns out that this is a society where people cannibalize themselves...

In the sky in autumn, the harvest scene was full of joy, and the laughter of children in my ears rang again, but at this time, Zhu Da felt cold all over, and it was cold from the inside out.

The warm family affection, the kindness and care of parents, and the barely paradise of Baibao Village all collapsed instantly in the scenes that just happened and the memories that arose. Zhu Da finally realized that he was a humble class in this era. Just as the knight said, it was a pig or dog. Even if he grew up, he was just a pig or dog!

Everyone around him has become accustomed to this identity and situation, and he takes it for granted. But Zhu Da is unwilling to accept that in those twenty years of life, there were some unsatisfactory things, but he had the minimum dignity and minimum rights. Suddenly he would not want to become such a humble pig dog without dignity and security!

With such a life, Zhu Da will never become numb like his parents and villagers, and will never be used to this kind of life!
