At the same time, there was a street corner on the western outskirts of the pier.

"Hit me!"

"Finally caught you!"

"Little thief!"

"You're dead!"

"..."

Three soldiers from the army surrounded a thin young man, punching and kicking him, doing crazy damage.

The young man did not resist, but curled up and tried his best to protect his head and vital parts, allowing the three men to attack him.

For people who are in the market.

Being beaten is a technical job.

There are roughly two main points: one is not to resist, and the other is to learn to pretend.

Let’s talk about the previous one first, don’t resist.

When there are many people on the other side and there is no hope of escape, be sure not to resist, just lie down and be beaten.

Because futile resistance will only lead to more serious beatings, and the door is wide open when resisting, and it is easy to be hit in the vitals, seriously injured or even die.

You have to lie on the ground like a puddle of mud, so rotten that it is boring for the tormentor to beat you.

Then it's in place.

Then you need to be able to pretend.

How to install it?

Seize the opportunity to pretend, and pretend like it.

You can't pretend when others are just starting to do it, because the time will be too short and it will wear out.

As for how to pretend to look like it, that's a long story.

This is a technical activity within a technical activity.

All in all, everyone has a hard time memorizing words, and if they learn to take beatings, their life will be hard and long.

Otherwise, you will belch after a beating, and you will not be able to survive more than three months on the streets in troubled times.

Hou Xiaoliu is very good at being beaten. M.

While lying on the ground, he used the corner of the wall and his limbs to protect his vitals, while the three obedient soldiers attacked him.

While biting his tongue and letting it bleed, he held it in his mouth. When he felt that the blow was almost done, he took advantage of Shunjun to kick him in the stomach and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then he rolled his eyes and twitched a few times, then held his breath and stopped moving.

When the three soldiers saw this, they kicked him twice, then stretched out their hands to check his breathing. When they found that he was not breathing, they left with curses.

After they walked away, Hou Xiaoliu opened his eyes and took a few breaths, then stood up tremblingly while holding on to the wall.

This was the first time he had been beaten violently. He managed to save his life again, but the injury was a bit serious.

The last two blows he received while pretending to be dead, although the force was weakened, were all in the chest.

Hou Xiaoliu knew from experience that at least three ribs were broken and his chest was burning.

Resting against the wall for a while, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth randomly, took out two dirty buns from his arms, thought about it and put one back, and the remaining one was mixed with the salty taste in his mouth, and he wolfed it into his stomach.

Swallow inside.

"Been beaten again?"

At this moment, a sudden voice sounded from the opposite side.

Hou Xiaoliu trembled in fright, instinctively thinking that it was three soldiers leaving and returning.

However, a closer look under the moonlight revealed that he was not a soldier.

But that tall man.

He appeared again, hiding under the opposite wall, like a shadow, soundless.

If you don't stare at him, you won't be able to spot him at all.

"Yes yes~"

Hou Xiaoliu hurriedly swallowed the last bite of steamed bun in his mouth and nodded.

A strong intuition told him that this master was probably already there when he was beaten.

This made him wary, because he really didn't know why this expert was always staring at him.

He was just a beggar, and he didn't have enough money to give him half of it.

"Have you ever thought about changing your way of living?" Qin He looked at Hou Xiaoliu and asked quietly.

Hou Xiaoliu's intuition was right. Qin He had been there since Hou Xiaoliu was forced into the corner.

He stood a few steps away, quietly "appreciating" the entire process of Hou Xiaoliu being beaten and his performance, as well as his weakness and hunger.

"How to change your life?"

Hou Xiaoliu chewed on Qin He's words and shook his head in confusion.

He was just a skinny monkey. He only had one meal to fill when he was hungry. He was considered too weak to work, and he was too young to join the army. He really couldn't think of any other way to live except as a thief.

Qin He smiled slightly: "Let's get straight to the point. I have a job here and there is no suitable candidate. If you are willing, I will do it for you."

"Something?" Hou Xiaoliu was a little confused. These two words were too far away from his world and too difficult to look up to.

No owner would hire a thief to do anything.

"Why, do you still need to consider it?" Qin He asked.

Hou Xiaoliu was a little moved and asked cautiously: "Are you going to eat it?"

"I can eat enough." Qin He smiled helplessly.

"Then...are there any wages?" Hou Xiaoliu asked again.

"No wages." Qin He shook his head.

"Is it far?"

"Just in town."

"How long can I do this?"

Qin He pondered for a moment and said: "This job is a bit special. Once you do it, you have to do it for the rest of your life and you can't regret it."

"What will happen if you regret it?" Hou Xiaoliu asked in surprise.

"Will die."

Hou Xiaoliu's expression changed, he paused, and then asked: "Can you tell me what the errand is?"

"No." Qin He shook his head with a firm tone.

Hou Xiaoliu hesitated immediately. After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "Can I take Yingzi with me?"

"Eiko?"

"She is my benefactor's daughter. Her name is Xiuying. You have met her. I can share my food with her, no matter how much you want." Hou Xiaoliu said with a hint of hope.

For him, a job that could provide him with enough food, no matter what it was, was already a big enough attraction.

The troubled times were really too difficult, and Hou Xiaoliu felt like he couldn't hold on any longer.

It's better to give it a try.

"Okay." Qin He nodded.

"Then when can I start working?" Seeing Qin He's promise, Hou Xiaoliu's eyes lit up slightly.

"I can't say, it could take a few months, or it could take three to five days. Before that, you have to make preparations." Qin He smiled mysteriously.

"What are you preparing for?"

Hou Xiaoliu's heart skipped a beat. He had been in the market for many years, and his vision and ability to figure things out far exceeded his age.

This mysterious job must be a gamble.

"I have to change your face." Qin He grinned.
