Live up to the country

Tong Fu'an looked at his younger brother, hugged him and cried loudly.The parents of the two died young, and they were lonely and helpless. They were taken in by Yunmeng of Qinglianmen, and they did some chores in the villa, and practiced some basic kung fu with the brothers and sisters.

A few years later, the status of the two of them was humble. Although the senior brothers and sisters never abused them, it was inevitable to yell three times and four times, and it seemed that the master's martial arts skills never seemed to be taught to them carefully. There are some complaints.One day, Tong Fu'an overheard a senior brother confiding that there was a peerless divine book "Ice and Fire Divine Art" in the Buddhist scripture pavilion of the mountain villa. .Now that the scriptures have been stolen and they have fled the villa, but they are about to become eunuchs, what should the Tong family do if there are no successors?

Duanmu Meng was looking at their brothers with a sullen face, and asked: "Have you thought about it? If you don't want to, no one will force you, just get out."

Across the wall, Tong Fu'an had already heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, he looked at Duanmu Mengzheng, and nodded in despair.

Duanmu Mengzheng showed a smile on his face, and ordered his servants: "Take them to the body purification master." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the servants took orders, and came to Brother Tong Fu'an and said, "Let's go, don't cry. , Uncle Guo has taken a fancy to you, that is your luck. He has been looking for a long time, and he has never liked one. Seeing that you two are handsome and smart, I will give you this opportunity. If you are favored by your mother in the future, Even dignitaries have to give way, what an honor!"

Tong Fu'an thought about what he said, and felt that there was some truth to it. Apart from that, the two of them probably would have little chance to make their mark. Rather than living on the streets like a bereaved dog, it is better to enter the palace with pain, and still have a chance.He stopped his grief, took his younger brother to get up, and resolutely followed the servants to find the body purifier.

The man asked them to change into clean clothes and let them sit in a small sedan chair. After half an hour, he carried them to a low earthen house and stopped them, let them get off the sedan chair, and then slammed on the gate.After a while, the door opened with a creak, and a thin old man appeared at the door, his cloudy eyes like dead fish looked strange and terrifying. Tong Fu'an and Tong Fu'an couldn't help but stick close to each other, showing timidity.

"These two are entrusted to you, so please take care of them. They were selected by the uncle of the country and will be dedicated to the empress." The servants of the uncle's mansion told the old man, it seems that he is a body purifier.

"Yeah." The old man looked expressionless, looked at Brother Tong Fu'an, and beckoned them to go in.Tong Fu'an led his younger brother, bit the bullet and entered the house.

The clean house is an independent small single room in the backyard, built with broken bricks and broken adobes. "Isn't this the sweet potato kang?" Tong Fu'an asked cautiously after he entered, looking around the room.

The old man looked at him and spoke quietly, his voice came from hell: "To plant sweet potatoes in the country, you first need to use a hot kang to heat and germinate, and the cleansing room is used together with the sweet potato kang. A month’s worth of defecation is often spilled on the kang. It cannot be done without bricks, and it will turn into mud if it is used with adobe. It takes three or four days for the people who wash their bodies to pass by howling like ghosts. Who can stand the sweet potato kang from a single family?"

Tong Fu'an and Tong Fuquan listened to his words, their legs were shaking like chaff.

"Let's go to the kang." The old man of the body purifier pointed to the kang and said, "Who will come first?"

"Brother——" Tong Fuquan hid behind Tong Fuan. Tong Fuan looked at the kang. There was a door panel on the kang, which was very narrow enough for one person to lie down on. , the plank is surrounded by straw, damp.There were still some black coagulated blood on the kang, which made him feel sick.

"Hurry up!" the old man urged.Because Tong Fu'an brothers were not accompanied by their parents, nor did they bring any gifts, the body purification master also omitted the etiquette.

Tong Fu'an bravely climbed onto the kang, clenched his fists and closed his eyes.Tong Fuquan didn't dare to see his brother cleanse himself, so he turned around and ran out of the house with tears in his eyes.

The body purifier brought bandages and tied Tong Fuan's lower abdomen and upper thighs tightly. Then a disciple brought him pepper water. The old man dipped a cloth ball in the water and carefully washed Tong Fuan's lower body.Tong Fuan's teeth were chattering, and the despair and fear in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Tie his hands and feet," the old man told his disciples.

Tong Fu'an's hands and feet were quickly tied up by the disciples of the body purifier to prevent him from moving around in pain and affecting the operation.

The body purifier came over with a scimitar that was as sharp as a sickle. Tong Fuan lowered his head to one side, closed his eyes tightly, and with a burst of pain, he let out a miserable scream——

Recalling this, Tong Fu'an's cloudy eyes were already filled with tears. Over the years, that scene had replayed countless times in his dreams, and woke him up countless times. It was painful at that time, and he will never forget it.

After a month, the two brothers were finally able to walk on the ground and became veritable eunuchs. The two were sent to the palace by Duanmu Mengzheng. Because of their outstanding appearance and articulate speech, they won the favor of Queen Duanmu Yunji and became eunuchs. Duanmu Yunji's confidant.

Thinking of his younger brother Tong Fuquan, Tong Fu'an frowned. He must have died because he hadn't heard from him for so long. Thinking of this, his eyes shone fiercely, and his clenched fist joints creaked.

He stood up suddenly, strode to the door of the house, kicked the door open and rushed in, went to the bed and lifted the little Gudong up.

"What are you doing?" Little Gudong stayed with this monster and never dared to fall asleep. He opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise.

"Let me ask you, did you guys kill my brother?" Tong Fu'an's eyes were cold.

"Who is your brother? We don't know each other." Little Gudong recalled the white-haired father-in-law killed in the ruined temple, and guessed it must be Tong Fuan's brother, but in the current situation, how could he dare to admit that they killed him.

"On the way from Xiling to Dongling, didn't you meet a white-haired man who looked like me?" Tong Fuan asked sharply.

"White hair, looks similar to you?" Little Gudong pretended to be thinking.

"Yes! Have you seen it?" Tong Fu'an held the little Gudong like an eagle grabbing a chicken.

"Grandfather with white hair," Little Gudong looked at Tong Fu'an, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Grandpa with white hair, he's similar to you, I've seen it before, I've seen it before."

"Have you fought against each other? Did you kill him?" Tong Fu'an asked excitedly, spattering little Gudong's face with spit.

"No, we didn't kill him, our sister Xiaozhu was almost killed by him." Little Gudong turned his head in disgust and answered him.

"Be more specific! What happened? You didn't kill him, so where did he go? Why haven't he and the people he took with him come back?" Tong Fu'an asked.
