Chapter 90 Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people
"Whew~" Zhang Xiu took a long breath, one hand held the stone to support his body, the other hand was raised above his head, he took a deep breath and held it in his lungs for a while, and then spit it out.
After a few restorative breaths, Zhang Xiu's pounding heart finally calmed down, and he couldn't help but sit on the rock, panting and twisting down the mountain.
The 100-meter sprint speed was thousands of meters, and then trekked over three streams and climbed two mountains, if he could still be overtaken, Zhang Xiu vowed to jump off the cliff immediately.
Looking back, Zhang Xiu happened to see more than a dozen black spots moving towards him at a constant speed under the mountain.
If you don't play like this, you will get the horses, you will have the money, and I will not cause any death, so I won't be so desperate!
The hillside is getting steeper and steeper, but the black spots are getting bigger and bigger, and Zhang Xiu's excellent eyesight makes his heart half cold. I saw that the more than ten bandits, who had been chasing for so long, were almost out of breath, still approaching Zhang Xiu with a steady pace.
An hour ago, Zhang Xiu laughed at the group of bandits for being too slow, and they couldn't keep up with their sprint speed. Now looking at the gap between his own family and other people's physical strength, Zhang Xiu almost looked up to the sky and sighed: "A group of perverts!" ”
After glancing at the steep cliff behind him, and then at the more than ten "thieves" who were chasing after him with perseverance and physical strength, Zhang Xiu still felt that it was better to choose to jump off the cliff!
Zhang Xiu's climb to this mountain with a cliff on one side was completely caused by unfamiliar terrain, and common sense told Zhang Xiu that since the mountain in the hilly area is steep on one side, the other side must be gentle. But the devil knows how this mountain works, and it is difficult to climb on one side, and when you climb up, you find that the other side is actually steep into a cliff!
Fortunately, there is a rather wide river under the cliff, Zhang Xiu can't help but think of the plots of many TV series and movies, the protagonist will never be fine if he jumps, he will fall into the water, and then he will either climb the river bank safely and soundly, or he will be washed by the water in a coma to an unknown small village, and then another ......
Ahem, okay, let's not talk about routines, let's see what our protagonist Zhang Xiu and Zhang Wenjin do when they are at the moment of life and death.
Looking at the bandits who were still silent, Zhang Xiu didn't know what strategy to use to this group of dead brains who seemed to have only one string in their heads. Zhang Xiu was the only thing that was certain at the moment that they didn't know their identity, and they weren't assassin swordsmen who wanted their own lives. Because there is no assassin in the world like this group of people who have a simple and straightforward face and can't do any martial arts.
It can only be said that this is a group of bandits with extremely professional principles, killing people and goods is killing people and goods, and both killing people and goods must be done.
When he met this kind of person, Zhang Xiu could only call himself unlucky.
But in this situation, Zhang Xiu will sit still and wait for death?
When the bandits approached to a distance of thirty paces, Zhang Xiu finally rushed towards the bandits. When the bandits stopped and prepared for the final fight, Zhang Xiu suddenly turned around one hundred and eighty degrees and ran towards the cliff!
With an absolute one-second ten-meter run-up, Zhang Xiu made a vertical jump and pounced on the big river under the mountain!
The simple bandits were stunned, thinking that the prey was going to make a last fight, but it turned out to be a preparation for jumping off the cliff!
As I have already said, this cliff is not strictly a cliff, at most it can only be regarded as an extremely steep slope, and it is still trapezoidal downward. If Zhang Xiu jumps directly from the top of the mountain, not to mention whether he can jump into the river at a certain distance from the foot of the mountain, he will brush the slope of the mountain and eventually tumble down the mountain.
And if you run, you can jump into the river.
A group of thieves finally stopped calming, and swarmed to the top of the mountain to look down, only to see the boss splashing in the river below the mountain!
After a minute, the splash dissipated, but only a black dot could be vaguely seen motionless in the water.
Another minute passed, and the black dot still didn't move.
The leading bandit finally let out a breath and pointed to the bottom of the mountain, when even two of the thieves turned over and climbed the steep cliff without saying a word to go down the river.
Zhang Xiu, who fell into the water, couldn't move at the moment, he overestimated the depth of the river, so much so that after falling into the water, he directly hit the stones at the bottom of the water, and his whole body fell apart, losing all his mobility. Fortunately, at this time, he was facing the top of the mountain on his back and saw two vigorous figures on the cliff.
Pervert, don't let this go!
It's just that at this moment, Zhang Xiu doesn't even have the strength to curse.
Before the two thieves woke up, Zhang Xiu passed out unhappily......
I heard that every protagonist has an accident.,Wake up after a coma and be rescued!
But when Zhang Xiu woke up, he only found that he was stripped naked and tied to a wooden board, and there were two peasant women with big shoulders and thick waists beside him, sharpening the pig-killing knives in their hands.
searched around, and there were only mountains as far as the eye could see. The humble villages are built on the hills, and there are only a few peasants dressed in fig leafs with hoes working in some narrow clearings between the mountains.
Zhang Xiu wanted to speak, but looking at the only earth dog in front of him who kept drooling at him, Zhang Xiu was speechless.
A peasant woman finally turned her fat buttocks and approached Zhang Xiu with the pig-killing knife in her hand, unmoved by Zhang Xiu's heroic face and handsome body.
The pig-killing knife was compared in mid-air, and the peasant woman pinched Zhang Xiu's shoulder blade with her rough fingers, touched the blade with her fingers, and shook it twice, and then directly wanted to use the pig-killing knife to test the hardness of Zhang Xiu's muscles and bones.
The earth dog had already stood up and stared straight at Zhang Xiu, as if it knew what was going to happen below.
At this moment, another peasant woman turned around, and when she saw the peasant woman's actions, she laughed out loud and waved her hand to stop it.
Zhang Xiu, who was in a cold sweat all over her body, immediately let out a sigh of relief, who knew that the peasant woman then came with the urge to make Zhang Xiu want to be hacked to death and split the body in an instant.
"You've forgotten the lesson from last time, this group of men is so tall and big that they are so scared when they see the pig killing knife that they all come out with and urine. Last time, you were so sick that you only wore clothes for a year and washed in the river for three days and three nights, why can't you remember the lesson today! ”
"This time, you just cut him first, and after the cut, he will be like a mother-in-law, and the feces and urine will not run out indiscriminately!"
When the peasant woman in front of Zhang Xiu heard this, her dark face flashed a hint of black and red, but then according to what the peasant woman said, she bent down and took a knife to cut off the bottom of Zhang Xiu first.
Zhang Xiu's heroic face turned green in an instant, and he wanted to scream, but he found that he had already stuffed something like a walnut in his mouth, and he couldn't make any sound at all except whining. The reason why I didn't feel it when I woke up was because the round thing had numbed Zhang Xiu's mouth and tongue.
Zhang Xiu tried her best to twist her lower body, and at the same time kept swaying her head from side to side to resist, but the two peasant women kept a deaf ear. Especially the peasant woman in front of Zhang Xiu, who was once splashed with feces and urine, only cared about grabbing Zhang Xiu's underneath.
Just when Zhang Xiu was deeply humiliated and desperate, a muffled voice finally sounded: "You broke him, where can you find a man for Erya?" ”
Hearing the word "Erya", the peasant woman showed a doting expression on her face, and finally put down the pig-killing knife, but her left hand still grabbed Zhang Xiu's underneath, and then showed a satisfied expression on her face.
"This thing looks like a good match with Erya, and it can also give birth to a few cubs with Erya. I just don't know if I'm diligent in my work, and in the end, I'm not a little man who eats my mother's house. ”
The man who made a muffled sound finally walked up to Zhang Xiu. Although this big man was dressed as a simple farmer, Zhang Xiu recognized him as the leader of the bandits at first sight.
The man didn't seem to like to talk much, but while holding the dirt of his bare feet, he asked, "Boy, do you want to marry my second girl?" ”
Zhang Xiu looked at the fierce peasant woman with a big waist and a thick face and rough hands in front of her, and then looked at a big man who did not follow the teachings, and imagined in his mind what their daughter would look like in this kind of poor mountains and bad waters. The final conclusion is that if you want me to marry their daughter, you should kill me!
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the poor mountains and bad waters are out of the people. There is no doubt that Danyang County is a place rich in people.
There is no doubt that Zhang Xiu encountered a group of people who were also bandits and people.
I have long heard that the poorer the mountain and the bad water, the more mysterious and strange the folk customs are. This is not because they are born with strange things, but often because the special environment creates their different living habits and living conditions.
For example, the Xianbei Xiongnu and Qiang Hu people who live in the grassland desert outside the north have a cold and dry climate, the soil is desolate and desertified, and there is an extreme shortage of water, so they can only rely on nomadism to make a living, and they have the conditions to plunder the Central Plains to eat some oil and water.
For example, the Shanyue Miaoyi barbarians who live in the mountainous and hilly areas of the mountains and rivers in the south have two extremes of climate compared to the north. Although there is no shortage of water, the red soil is not conducive to cultivation, not to mention that even if it is red soil, there is not much flat terrain between mountains and rivers and ravines, and only rely on gathering and hunting to make a living. Although they have a lot of property, they actually live a worse life than their northern alien companions. The hot flashes of the climate are the most suitable for the spread of diseases and plagues, and the high case fatality rate has made it impossible for the southern population to rise.
The complexity of the terrain has reduced the communication between tribes, which has greatly hindered the political, economic and cultural integration of various races. You can't establish a central royal court like your fellow aliens in the north, and you can't rule over all your own tribes. It is even more impossible to pose any threat to the central power of the Han people, and to attack villages and harass some remote counties.
Therefore, in the blacklist in the hearts of the descendants of Huaxia, the threat level of the southern alien race is always the lowest. It is far inferior to the northern alien races that are often invaded by tens of thousands of cavalry outside the northern Saiwai. Otherwise, why did the Great Wall of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period never be wary of the southern aliens?
It's far away, let's talk about this Danyang, which has been fierce since ancient times. Danyang people are famous for fighting, and that is the reputation that was made in the Western Han Dynasty. They are known for their generally strong physiques and tenacious will. And these are the few riches that Danyang, the hometown of poor mountains and bad waters, can give them.
Danyang, there are many mountains, more water, but less fields! The so-called five points of mountains and three parts of water and two points of land in ordinary hilly areas, here in Danyang County, the arable land is less than one-tenth of the total area!
You must know that in the plains of the Central Plains or Hebei, the balance between man and land is achieved at most in peacetime, because there are no particularly good varieties in ancient times, even if the plains have water conservancy and fertile soil, the yield is only enough for food and clothing. In the hilly areas, however, there are always more people and less land, and the general mountain people not only cultivate, but also hunt wild animals and gather wild fruits to feed their stomachs. This situation is even more prominent in Danyang County, where many households can cultivate the land, even if the rice yield is bumper all year round, it is not enough for a mother-in-law to eat, plus hunting and gathering subsidies for the family, in the end the ration gap is still very large, in this case, many mountain people spontaneously formed a custom. That is to go out by day, to do farm work and hunt during the day, and to take out the guys and put on their clothes at night and go to robbery.
This kind of folk customs has prevailed in Danyang County for a long time, and even developed more and more maturely. The mountain people of Danyang are quite hostile to the migrant population, because it is they who continue to squeeze out the already small arable land in Danyang. Therefore, they not only like to rob outsiders of money, food, and property, but also like to kill people. Especially after the maids of a convoy were let go once in history, and the mountain people of the village who were robbed were collectively slaughtered, the Danyang mountain people even became a custom to kill people and sell goods at the same time!
For a long time, the Danyang mountain people have been passed down from generation to generation, and their ancestors have been both people and bandits, and their almost isolated living conditions make it difficult for them to accept the official education of Confucian Legalism. Poor mountains and bad waters could not give them food and clothing, but the deep mountains and old forests, cliffs, tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves exercised their extremely strong physique and indomitable will, so they learned to use these strengths to fight for what nature did not give them. Whether it was forcibly conscripted by the princes to be a private soldier, or he went out day and night to be a farmer and a bandit.
