The lives of ordinary people in those years were so miserable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As long as people in their early thirties have experienced the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, they think they can have a good life, who knows, and then the warlords are fighting, and the taxes are levied every year, and the people are basically living a life of worrying about the last meal, and this year is even worse, and the devil fired the first shot of my China!
Life is hard, but you still have to live, how many people have been displaced and become refugees.
I didn't eat anything, I ate the bark and grass roots, everything I could eat, but that's it, people starve to death every day, and in winters like now, it's common for people to freeze to death.
In order to survive, cheating, cheating, stealing, smashing and robbing abound.
In fact, many of the so-called bandits are poor people who are forced by life, and there is no way, in order to live, to get it, go to the mountains to be bandits.
Zhou Dahu is such a person.
He was born in a scholarly family, his father was very knowledgeable, and he was still a member of the Qing Dynasty, but it is a pity that the Qing Dynasty is gone, otherwise he can at least get an official to do. But the general trend of the world is like this, no one is able to compete, since the career is hopeless, it is better to be a squire. But every year of war, harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, it will cost Zhou Dahu's father's life.
Because Zhou Dahu's father was a squire, he was also famous in the local area, so he became famous and famous. Every time a soldier came over, the first one would look for him, either the commander of a certain division asked him to support the War of Resistance, or the commander asked him to support national defense. To put it bluntly, it is asking for money.
Can you not give it? It has to be given, and it has to be given more.
went back and forth like this, and the family road was ruined.
It's just that the family road is defeated, at least the people are still there, but the worst thing is that Zhou Dahu has a sister, who was already married, but when he returned to his parents' house that day, he ran into a passing army, and the top commander of this army was a regiment commander, named Zhang Liansheng, the name was good, and he won a lot, but unfortunately he never won a battle.
This head Zhang is sitting in the living room talking about tea, he is drinking tea is fake, asking for money is real, this money has not yet arrived, as soon as he looked up, he saw a young woman walking into the courtyard, and his eyes lit up.
The soldiers are away all the year round, and there are wars every year in the past few years, so basically every soldier basically does nothing else after having a military salary, and does two things, one is to drink and gamble, and the other is to visit the kiln. However, the kiln was not clean, and many officers and soldiers fell ill as a result, and it is said that many of them died of illness.
This Zhang Liansheng is in his forties and has not yet started a family, and when he sees Zhou Dahu's sister at this moment, something is wrong.
He stepped forward directly, grabbed Zhou Dahu's sister, and then said to the adjutant and his entourage to look at them, and hugged Zhou Dahu's sister into the room!
Zhou Dahu's sister is also a strong woman, she would rather die than obey, but she swept Zhang Liansheng's temperament, this Liansheng is good, seeing that she didn't obey, she pulled out a gun and shot at her, just this shot, took Zhou Dahu's sister's life.
Coming, Zhang Liansheng said to Zhou Dahu's father like a nobody, that woman is your daughter, accidentally she died, so let's do it, I originally asked you for a thousand yuan of the ocean, for the sake of your dead daughter, give five hundred.
Come on, you need money to kill someone!
Zhou Dahu's family cried, can they follow? Are these people still human?
Zhou Dahu's wife wanted to go up and fight hard, but she was stopped, don't die? What can you do with such a person?
In order to survive, Zhou Dahu's family endured, but there were not so many modern oceans, only one hundred were given, this is the last family foundation, and the last consecutive victory saw that there was no oil and water, so Zhou Dahu's father made an IOU, and within half a month, he collected the remaining four hundred yuan of the ocean.
This is the society of the year, killing people, and asking for money, no? Yes, IOUs!
In that half a month, Zhou Dahu's family was sad, and his daughter died, this was a big deal, and the in-laws were notified, and the two families handled their daughter's funeral together.
After such a delay, five or six days have passed, and there are still ten days, and how to gather these four hundred pieces of the ocean has become the heart disease of the Zhou family.
The in-laws are also righteous, and they support two hundred pieces of the ocean, no matter how much they have, they can't take it out.
Zhou Dahu saw all this, he was anxious and angry, he hated! But it can't be helped, he's just a teenager.
But once the child is ruthless, it will cost people's lives.
I don't know where this kid got a knife, he actually climbed over the wall at night and entered the mansion where Zhang Liansheng lived!
The knife fell, and Zhang Liansheng's head fell to the ground.
Zhang Liansheng couldn't figure it out until he died, he died so aggrieved that he lost his head in his sleep! In fact, this also shows that the society at that time was so dark.
Was there a guard guarding the door that night? Yes! Are there patrolling guards in the yard? Yes! But what were they doing at the time? Napping and sleeping, sleeping and gambling, maybe in their hearts, no one dares to sneak in and kill people, and it is their highest commander Zhang Liansheng who kills!
Originally, it was enough to kill Zhang Liansheng, but no one would have thought that it would be a child who could kill him! In the end, it was a headless case at most, but one of the things Zhou Dahu did later caused his whole family to be wiped out!
He was over-blooded, and after cutting off Zhang Liansheng's head, he was a good kid, stained with blood, and left a line of words on the wall, Murderer, Zhou Dahu is also!
This is all caused by Mr. Zhou's storytelling, how many legendary stories Zhou Dahu has heard, especially heroes who killed people, leaving words on the wall, how spirited, how free and easy!
After Zhou Dahu killed someone, after all, he was a child, and he didn't dare to go home, so he casually drilled a cave and stayed overnight.
When he got home, he froze.
There was a river of blood in the house, and all the people died.
When several neighbors saw Zhou Dahu coming back, they hurriedly pulled him away, and stuffed some money into him, telling him to leave quickly and go to other places to avoid the limelight.
Zhou Dahu is gone, and his family's funeral is handled by a few neighbors.
Since then, no one has seen Zhou Dahu.
Until a few days ago, Zhou Dahu came back, took a group of brothers, and wiped out a regiment of troops alive.
How he managed to encircle and suppress a unit, no one knows, only knows that there is a bandit named Zhou Dahu.
He only targets the troops, and he hates being a soldier, but how can a bandit leader raise a large group of brothers This is a technical job, he only targets the troops, and does not rob the house, where can he get the money to feed his brothers?
So tonight, he came to the door outside the sailor.
He wants to borrow money.
We both looked at each other, "You're sick, it's not light." Zhou Dahu handed me a piece of Xian Dayang, "Find a Lang Zhong and take a look." ā
I was stunned, and just gave me a piece of the ocean? You must know that in those years, a piece of the current ocean was worth most of the income of ordinary people for half a year!
"That's for you." Zhou Dahu took out another piece of cake, "Your body is too weak, eat some to pad your stomach first." ā
