The scholar is the white moonlight in the heart of the bandits

Zeng Ning is just a servant of Murong's family in Ningfu, Nanhai. He has been at Murong's house since he can remember. He was told by the elders that it was because the family couldn't get rid of the pot, so they sold him and exchanged some money for more money. If he took some money, he signed a death contract. In this life, he was born as a member of the Murong family and died as a ghost of the Murong family. Even if he was beaten to death by his master, no one would care.

He started working since he was a child. At the beginning, because he was too young to do anything well, he was called to the kitchen to deliver food to the master. She looked at Zeng Ning and said that she wanted to chop him into pieces.

At first, I was a little scared, afraid that the master would really chop him up, but after a long time, the master talked a lot, and he didn't take it seriously anymore.

In fact, the master just looks fierce and has a bad temper, but he is still very kind in his heart.

When Zeng Ning got older, he was sent to study with the young master. He said it was to accompany the young master, but in fact he was beaten for the young master. Played the role of being beaten at the right time.

Sometimes he was punished to kneel, kneeling outside the school until very late.

Hunger fainting is a common occurrence, and sometimes the master will secretly give him two cold steamed buns.

There is no way, this is the steamed bun that the master secretly picked out from between his teeth. If someone finds out that the master is stealing things from the kitchen, the master will have to walk away without eating.

Zeng Ning is already very happy to eat steamed buns.

Another night, Zeng Ning came back on his knees, hungry and deflated.

Although he is now sixteen, he still looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, because he really has no food to eat.

Familiar with the way, he went to the stove in the kitchen and took the two steamed buns that the master had put there. Zeng Ning ate his poor dinner with a bowl of clear water, one mouthful of steamed buns and one mouthful of water.

At this time, the dark blue sky outside the window was already full of stars, and he didn't know how long he had been kneeling, but the night should be deep.

After eating the steamed buns, he had to go back to sleep quickly, otherwise he would be late for bed tomorrow, and it would not be the master who beat him.Accompanying students who are late will be punished according to the rules of the family.

After closing the kitchen door, Zeng Ning prepared to go back to sleep.

Fortunately, his room is not far from the kitchen, just two steps away.

My knee still hurts a bit, but fortunately I have gotten used to it after kneeling a lot.

Speaking of which, the master has a bad temper, and he is a bit of a dog, relying on the master to be polite to him, he is always arrogant to a servant like him, and never treats him as a human being.

Passing by a rockery, he couldn't stand his knees anymore, so he rested against the rockery.

Rubbing his sore knees, Zeng Ning sighed, looked around, there was silence, not even a cricket, because the stars were too bright in the sky, the moon seemed to be bitten by someone, with only one curved side.

Seeing the moon, Zeng Ning thought of the big meat pancakes in his house. They are good things that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. The soft wheat cakes are wrapped with a little bit of fat and thin pork belly, and they can even be mixed with one bite. Fresh and sweet gravy.

Still so hungry...

Zeng Ning rubbed his stomach.

Today, apart from these two steamed buns, I only ate a bowl of white rice porridge and pickles in the morning.

Having no other choice, Zeng Ning had no choice but to secretly reach out and pick some rose flowers in the bushes, tear off the petals, and stuff them into his mouth bit by bit.

This is something he would only eat when he was extremely hungry. Of course, he did not dare to steal rose flowers to eat all the time. The rules in the house were strict. If he did this as stealing, he would be chopped off.

The bitter taste of the rose flower spread on the tip of the tongue, and it was not tasty, but Zeng Ning had no choice but to eat the petals piece by piece.

Finally finished eating a rose flower, although it didn't have much effect, but at least it played a role in satisfying the hunger. After sitting for a while, Zeng Ning got up and went back to sleep.

Before taking two steps, Zeng Ning seemed to hear a flickering scream, but he didn't know where it came from.

Thinking that he was fainted from hunger and had auditory hallucinations, he smiled wryly, rubbed his stomach again, and said to himself, "Breakfast will be available in a few hours, please bear with it!"

Unexpectedly, the screams heard in his ears did not stop with his words, but became clearer and clearer.

It was only then that Zeng Ning remembered that his ears were more sensitive than ordinary people's. Most people would not be able to hear the sound of biting their ears, but to him it was like talking to one's ear.

Because of his dull personality, Zeng Ning was often bullied by other servants in the house, but because of his sensitive ears, he overheard other people's plans to trick him, so he could often save himself from danger.

If the voice in my ears was real, where did the screams come from?

Before thinking deeply, Zeng Ning shook his head.

This is not something he should know. In this place where people can eat people, talking less and doing more is the only way to survive.

He wanted to live, because he always felt that one day he would escape from this place!

I took two steps in a hurry, because the stride was a bit fast, and the knee bones made a "creaking" sound, which sounded very scary.

The screams became more and more clear. At first, it felt like the sound was coming from afar, but in the end, it was as if someone was screaming in his ear.

It made him a little uncomfortable.

Along with the screams came the sound of the whip piercing the air and hitting the flesh, and sometimes the sound of the whip hitting hard armor, as well as the inaudible "chi chi" sound.

He looked around in panic.

But still nothing.

What was it that heard in that ear?

Who is calling?

Fear spread all over his body from the corner, Zeng Ning returned to the residence as if fleeing for his life, and then tiptoed into the bed, covering the quilt tightly.

Maybe there is really a secret passage in that place, and someone in the secret passage is punishing a servant, but these have nothing to do with him, go to bed quickly, and get up early tomorrow.
