Chapter 185: Wang Tiandong (Part )
“It hurts~ It hurts so much~”

Amidst helpless groans, Wang Tiandong slowly opened his eyes, accompanied by waves of severe pain in his crotch, and his head felt dizzy as if it were a paste.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Tiandong finally felt better and could barely see his surroundings clearly.

The broken roof and smoke-blackened walls clearly showed that it was an abandoned house. At this moment, he was lying in a pile of firewood in the corner.

This was not his home, and he didn’t know where it was, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

He remembered that after being castrated, the evil slaves threw him into the street.

Because of the severe pain, he soon fainted.

It is now deep winter and the weather is freezing. If he lies on the street like this for a night, he might never wake up again.

Although the house in front of him was dilapidated, it could shelter him from the wind and provided hay for warmth, which prevented him from freezing to death.

“So hateful!”

While he was thinking, Wang Tiandong felt a sharp pain in his crotch again and tears immediately flowed from his eyes.

It’s not just pain, it’s also hatred!

Everything for him is over.

From now on, let alone taking the imperial examination, he is not even a man.

In anger, Wang Tiandong became dazed and fainted again.

Although he did not lose his life after the knife attack, the wound was not treated, so he first lost a lot of blood and then got infected. In addition, he was hungry and cold, so he is now extremely weak and has a high fever.

I don’t know how long it took, but Wang Tiandong woke up again. This time it was not the pain that woke him up, but the smell of porridge.

Wang Tiandong tried hard to open his eyes, which were almost blurred by eye boogers, and saw a cluster of fire. Then he could see clearly that there was a broken jar on top, with hot steam bubbling out of it.

Wang Tiandong felt dry mouth and tongue. Yes, there must be porridge in it.

“Porridge.”

Wang Tiandong tried hard to open his mouth and made a hoarse sound.

A man came over and picked up the earthen jar, but did not feed it to Wang Tiandong. Instead, he ate it himself.

In just a moment, he had finished half the porridge in the clay pot, and then he licked it carefully inside and out, leaving no soup for Wang Tiandong.

It’s him.

At this time, Wang Tiandong finally saw the man clearly, a beggar.

It was the beggar to whom he gave two cents that night, when he beat up Wei Jiacai a few months ago.

There were beggars everywhere in the city, but he was the only one who called Wang Tiandong “Master”, so Wang Tiandong remembered him very clearly.

It seems that it was this beggar who saved him and brought him to this dilapidated house, otherwise he would have frozen to death long ago.

For a moment, Wang Tiandong couldn’t help but sigh, good deeds will be rewarded.

wrong.

Then, Wang Tiandong suddenly realized something, reached out and touched his arms, and immediately became furious.

The money in his arms is gone!
Looking at the beggar who had finished his porridge and was lying contentedly on the pile of firewood, it was obvious that it was this beggar who took away his only few dozen coins!

That half can of porridge must have been bought with his money.

What’s hateful is that the beggar ate all the porridge and didn’t leave him a single grain of rice.

Wang Tiandong hated the beggar very much, but at this moment, he was seriously injured and had a high fever, and it was difficult for him to even sit up. How could he get justice from the beggar?

In fact, even if Wang Tiandong was in good health, if they really started fighting, he would probably be no match for this beggar who had been hanging around the streets for years.

Although he was angry, he could only swallow his anger for now.

Wang Tiandong was so hungry that he crawled to a clay pot in front of the door. There was some rainwater in it. He didn’t have the strength to lift it up, so he could only lower his head, stick out his tongue, and lick it like a dog.

Only after he licked the rain water out of the clay pot did Wang Tiandong breathe a sigh of relief. He turned over and lay on the ground, feeling a little more alive.

The beggar was awakened by his noise, but he just took a look and ignored him, then turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

After resting for a while, Wang Tiandong crawled to the fire again, took out a handful of black ash, and pressed it on his lower body with pain.

As a herbalist, he knew that pot ash could not only stop bleeding, but also eliminate carbuncle and relieve pain. Moreover, the ashes still had some residual heat, which could also sterilize to a certain extent.

After basically healing his wound, Wang Tiandong crawled back to where he was before. He had no more strength left, so he closed his eyes to rest and passed out again.

Next, Wang Tiandong lived in a beggar’s shabby house.

Although there was nothing to eat, at least there was water to drink, and with the four walls and hay, I wouldn’t freeze to death on the streets.

Three days passed in a flash. Maybe he was lucky enough, or maybe the ash from the pot had worked, not only did the fever go away, but the wound also scabbed over.

That morning, while the beggars were out begging for food, Wang Tiandong dragged his crippled body out of the shabby house.

The beggar didn’t care whether he lived or died. If he continued to stay there, he would probably starve to death.

Furthermore, Wang Tiandong didn’t think the beggar was so kind and dragged him into the shabby house because he was afraid that he would freeze to death. The money had already been taken, so he might have other intentions.

Due to his weak health, Wang Tiandong walked and stopped many times until late at night when he finally returned to his home in Shihe Village.

After searching for a while, Wang Tiandong found a small piece of hard cake, which was as hard as a rock. He couldn’t wait to put it into his mouth. He stretched his neck and drank a bucket of water, and finally it softened and went down smoothly.

After eating and drinking, Wang Tiandong lay down on the bed, wrapped himself tightly in the thin quilt that he had used for many years, and fell into a deep sleep.

Two months later, winter left and spring arrived.

Wang Tiandong lay in bed for two months, relying on the leftovers of the villagers, and finally survived and recovered from his injuries. Apart from the discomfort of squatting to urinate, there seemed to be no other impact.

But only he knew that his life was over.

Wang Tiandong sat at the entrance of the village, looking at the willow trees sprouting, his eyes empty and lifeless.

Now, of course, he could not take part in the imperial examination. His dream since childhood had turned into a bubble. In addition to the loss, he was more confused about what to do next.

Since he was already a useless man, he might as well end the rest of his life in Shihe Village and rot away like a roadside weed.

“No!”

But soon, Wang Tiandong rejected this idea.

He never wants to spend his life like this!

Moreover, he has not yet taken revenge!

He will not let go of any of those who bully, insult, hurt or harm him!
How to take revenge.

He has no power or influence, and he doesn’t know martial arts like Lu Nanxing.

“Martial arts, Nanxing.”

Wang Tiandong was startled, and a light seemed to appear in front of him.

Half a month later, Wang Tiandong bought the collected herbs, prepared some dry food, and left Shihe Village again.

But this time we are not going to Xiangfu County, but Kaifeng Prefecture!

Kaifeng is a provincial capital, far from being comparable to a small county town, and Lu Nanxing is there.

Wang Tiandong guessed that Lu Nanxing might have already joined a martial arts sect, which meant he had some power. If he went to join them, he could always make a living.

Moreover, since he can no longer take the imperial examination, he might as well learn martial arts instead!

Although he had always looked down on warriors and believed that those in power only worked hard but not physically, he had no choice now.

Wang Tiandong was confident that even if he was a ‘latecomer’, with his intelligence and talent, he would be able to learn martial arts much faster and stronger than others.

In this way, Wang Tiandong traveled all the way and finally arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture.

After entering the city, Wang Tiandong was stunned. He only knew that Xiangfu County could not be compared with Kaifeng Prefecture. Now he realized that there was such a huge difference!
For a moment, he regretted not coming to Kaifeng Prefecture earlier.

If he had come to Kaifeng Prefecture earlier, perhaps he would have had the opportunity, at least he would not have lost his life.

After an hour, the novelty wore off and Wang Tiandong felt depressed again.

Kaifeng Prefecture is too big, where can he go to find Lu Nanxing?
He only knew that Lu Nanxing came to Kaifeng Prefecture to join a martial arts sect.

But he didn’t know which sect it was.

In Kaifeng Prefecture, there are at least eighty gangs of all sizes, if not a hundred. If we were to ask them one by one, it would take an eternity.

Furthermore, all the gang members were brandishing swords and guns and looked ferocious, so Wang Tiandong did not dare to approach them.

At night, the penniless Wang Tiandong had to sleep on the street again. Fortunately, the weather had warmed up and he was not frozen to death.

The next day, Wang Tiandong’s stomach was growling, so he took out his remaining two coins and prepared to buy another cake. But he didn’t expect that the cake in Kaifeng Prefecture would cost three coins!
Finally, the boss felt sorry for him and sold him half a pancake for two cents.

After eating the bread, Wang Tiandong felt that he was barely alive, so he decided to find a job to at least fill his stomach.

But as the saying goes, it is not easy to live in the capital, and the same is true in Kaifeng Prefecture. There is no work for him to do.

“Master, please give me something to eat. I haven’t eaten for three days.”

In desperation, Wang Tiandong could only beg on the street.

At least he didn’t starve to death. Looking at the penny in his hand, Wang Tiandong smiled bitterly. After living in the beggar’s house for a few days, he actually became a beggar.

But even being a beggar is not that easy.

Beggars are divided into factions and territories. Wang Tiandong is an outsider who sleeps on the streets at night and is chased and beaten by other beggars during the day.

As a result, Wang Tiandong stayed in Kaifeng City for more than ten days and had already begun to consider retiring.

“Ok?”

At noon that day, Wang Tiandong was leaning against the wall to bask in the sun when he suddenly saw a notice.

There is a lot of content, but it can be summed up in one sentence: the palace is recruiting eunuchs!

Wang Tiandong used to sneer at this, but now, looking at his lower body, Wang Tiandong suddenly felt a surge of hope.

Without caring about anything else, he immediately went to the yamen mentioned in the notice.

“so many people.”

What Wang Tiandong didn’t expect was that even being a eunuch had become a hot commodity these days.

At this time, there were many people queuing outside the yamen.

With a wry smile and shaking his head, Wang Tiandong stood at the end of the team.

After waiting for nearly an hour, it was finally my turn.

Behind the desk sat an old eunuch in his forties or fifties, and next to him stood a thin young eunuch.

“Bring it here.”

The young eunuch glanced at Wang Tiandong and stretched out his hand.

“What.”

Wang Tiandong was stunned and looked confused.

“You don’t know the rules.”

The young eunuch snorted and said impatiently.

“Of course it’s silver. Without silver, how can you want to work in the palace?”

“silver……”

Wang Tiandong’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Being a eunuch actually requires money!
Is it possible that the threshold to become a eunuch is so high?

“No money? Get lost!”

Looking at what Wang Tiandong is wearing, you can tell that he can’t come up with the money.

The young eunuch waved his hands repeatedly, looking impatient.

“No! I can’t leave!”

Wang Tiandong looked anxious and rushed past the young eunuch to the senior eunuch.

“Grandpa! Just accept me!”

“Grandpa? Haha, many people call me dad, but you’re the first one to call me grandpa.”

The chief eunuch originally wanted to have Wang Tiandong kicked out, but when he heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh.

But then he waved his hands again, his face cold.

“Without money, how can I accept you? Why should I accept you?”

“Why…”

Wang Tiandong was stunned and immediately took off his pants.

“This is!”

Seeing Wang Tiandong’s empty lower body, the eunuch widened his eyes slightly.

He had seen this kind of thing many times in the palace, but this was the first time he had seen it outside.

“Tsk tsk, the work is really rough, you must have suffered a lot.”

Then the eunuch frowned and shook his head again.

“Grandpa! Look, I’ve taken care of myself, so just accept me!”

Wang Tiandong’s face was full of anxiety and he was begging.

“I cut it myself.”

The eunuch widened his eyes slightly and looked at Wang Tiandong with some surprise.

There are such cruel people in the world who can cut off their own thing.

“Let’s do it.”

Coming back to his senses, the eunuch raised his hand.

“Since you are so sincere, I will accept you.”

“Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Grandpa!”

Wang Tiandong’s face was full of excitement. He knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

The eunuch smiled and nodded, enjoying it.

After being included in the list and having his background checked, Wang Tiandong was taken to the capital a few days later!

Now that you have cleansed yourself, you will go to the inner study hall to study.

As a eunuch, you have to know a few words to take care of the emperor and the nobles in the palace.

Wang Tiandong had learned to read and read a lot of books. He felt a sense of superiority when he saw the illiterate people around him. In fact, in the inner book hall, Wang Tiandong was praised by Mr. Chen for his good handwriting.

But that’s all.

After finishing his studies at the Inner Study Hall, Wang Tiandong, who had no money to bribe and no background, was assigned to the clean room, which was a place where toilets were stored.

The new eunuch Wang Tiandong’s daily job is to clean the toilet.

It was only at this time that Wang Tiandong realized that the emperor and those nobles’ shit was just as smelly as his.

It just tastes better and isn’t as dry, but it sticks to the toilet more.

“Excessive use of talent! Oversight!”

Wang Tiandong was proud of his education and thought he was much better than the young eunuchs of the same period, but he was actually asked to clean the toilet, which made him feel very resentful.

He also thought to himself that he would definitely not clean toilets for the rest of his life and must find a chance to climb up!

If you have ambitions in your heart, they will show outwardly, with the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf.

Soon, Wang Tiandong, who seemed not very “sociable”, was bullied by his colleagues again.

Not only did they make him clean the toilet more often, they even deliberately splashed feces and urine on him and poured them on his shoes.

Wang Tiandong could not swallow his anger, so he started arguing with them again, and finally went to the leading eunuch.

The result was the same as what happened in the school. The head eunuch scolded him severely and beat him with ten boards.

Lying on the bed, Wang Tiandong finally understood that the same principles apply everywhere in this world.

After recovering from his injury, Wang Tiandong seemed like a different person. He became taciturn, humble and submissive, just like he was later in school.

Although the other eunuchs still bullied him from time to time, it was no longer as frequent.

He hid his edge, but that didn’t mean Wang Tiandong would accept his fate. He was just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to turn things around!
