Although he is a person from the village, he is not the surname of the family in the village, so he is usually a little angry, there are no relatives in the village, and he naturally walks chicly.

Although the poor are in tatters, but the poor family is worth a lot of money, some pots and pans that can't be taken away, extra firewood and other things, naturally can be given away, he already has a family business over there, so he naturally looks down on this thing.

This time when he came back, he rode the horse he got to pull the plow, and borrowed a neighbor's horse, and two horses pulled a small cart, which can be said to be very magnificent, who sees who is not hot, this is also a bolt can rely on a mouth to fool a large number of fellow villagers to follow him, this big horse is indispensable.

Of course, there are a lot of red-eyed people, but the bolt's action is very fast, he was originally last year, went to the battlefield to pick up cheap ones, but he was favored by the GI to catch the car, this time it can be regarded as getting closer to the organization, of course, he is not very bold, there is no "line of fire to join the party", join the army to serve the country, otherwise, with the identity of "poor middle peasant", at least he can be a petty officer.

The bolt ran to pull the cart, earned a dozen taels of silver, and his courage was naturally greater, and in the subsequent hurricane rush, it was considered a trot all the way, mixed with a good life, he simply helped smash it on the side of the prisoner of war camp, and the elders over there paid for it, and gave the money happily.

After that, it is natural to easily seize the big march of Liaodong, and the bolt is clever, although it seems that going to Liaodong is a life of nine deaths, but weighing the silver reward, gritting his teeth, and going to the expedition as a people's husband.

In fact, he didn't even see the hair of a tartar, he just transported some baggage forward, and when he was halfway through, he suddenly heard the cheers of the soldiers who accompanied him, which was deafening, and he knew that the front line had taken Shengjing, that is, Shenyang, and all the enemies had been destroyed!

The rest of the thing, naturally is Ansheng's march only, for the bolt is naturally familiar with the road, and so on to Shenyang, he ran a few transport work, and after earning some capital, but I heard that the local people to divide the land, and a lot, although there is a care of his old army hope that he simply become a soldier, but the bolt thought about it, or did not dare to go, so he simply lived in the local area.

There are also a few men who are willing to stay in that kind of land after they have divided the land, although it may not be as great as the benefits that can be obtained by joining the army, but it is better to be stable.

His life is still good, someone introduced him to a mother-in-law, who was originally a woman who was originally attached to the Tartar family in Liaodong, not very old, but she is still capable of working, and the plug enlarged her belly in a few days, so it can be said that everything went smoothly to the extreme.

During the slack time, he did not go to the recruitment work of the government, but hurried to pick up the old lady and leave Xiangfu.

Under the gaze of everyone, the bolt was regarded as a clean family business, and the next day it was still half dark, and many people gathered at the door of his house, all of whom had no watch in their hands, so they came out early, for fear that they would leave, but they were a little late.

The day is not yet dawn, the bolt is driving the car, the car is sitting on the old lady, full of all kinds of things, the old lady is an ordinary old lady, the most distressed by the good things sent out by the son, naturally asked to bring all the things, but the car is so big, the horse that has been pressed continues to protest, naturally can only give up, although the road is not far, but to put the luggage of the villagers, naturally it is troublesome.

The plug looked at these villagers with a smile, but what he thought of was the twenty taels of silver that he was about to earn, these money, it has always been said that the government will not be repaid, so after the money is in hand, well, first buy some snacks for the old lady and daughter-in-law, and when they got married, that is, those "sinners" in order to get out, drove the ducks on the shelves and directly gave his daughter to him such a broken household, it is estimated that he can make up for the happy event, and the rest, the government has recently sold all kinds of farm tools at a low price, what seeders, what steel plows, what harvesters, It's all about cows and horses, but the effect is really good, and there is a family nearby that uses it.

The carriage drove away slowly, followed by those villagers, and they all followed step by step, although it was necessary to walk, but the residents near Shanhaiguan raised their feet to go out to Liaodong, I don't know how convenient it is.

Walking to the entrance of the village, the entrance of the village is very dark, with the last starlight, barely walking, at this time, there are suddenly many figures in front of me, shouting, very chaotic, but very neat shouting, what are they, arrears to pay back, offended the village chief and want to run or something.

People who are willing to follow the bolt, there are not many guys in their hands, they are all planning to go to Liaodong to divide the land, naturally they have to bring farm tools, although the bolt said, the government will provide the most basic farm tools, but there must be a guy of their own?

There are a lot of people gathered around on the opposite side, and the key is that the location card is very good, just blocking everyone in the village, if you want to get out, you have to walk past them.

Although the bolt has only been a civilian man, he has also been trained in the army, and at this time he was bold and said: "Hey, what kind of person, if you want to be a thief, you have to see where this is, there is a garrison of the imperial court nearby, and I will kill you in minutes!" ”

There was a very familiar voice over there, saying: "Bolt, don't talk nonsense here, what we are looking for is you, you are in debt, you want to leave, it's not so easy." ”

The bolt knew that something was wrong, and said angrily: "I have been sitting firmly all my life, where will I owe money and not pay it back, are you ...... Xu Maocai! ”

People in a village naturally know each other.

Xu Maocai is not hiding at this time, he is now full of people, gritted his teeth before, and rewarded his relatives and the broken household found from other villages, and roared at this time: "You forgot, when you went outside to mess around, you entrusted my mother to me, saying that I was asked to take care of something, and now I want to repay the debt." ”

The bolt said angrily: "At the beginning, my mother was at home by herself, and the silver I left for her was eaten by you one bite at a time, no matter what you bought, it was all in it, and it was obviously you who earned the benefits of my family!" ”

"Yo he, the dog bites Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people, help your family, but help go wrong, anyway, you said that at the beginning, now your mother will spend two taels of silver a month, we are all villagers, I don't want much, you give me fifty taels of silver, our account will be cleared!"

He suddenly saw the two horses, his eyes were full of greedy hatred, and said, "Oh, they are all from the villagers, you leave the horses, and I can spare you some." ”

"Get out of here, who owes you money, is there still a king in this world?"

"Hey, my family is Wang Fa, don't you know, our Xu family is also someone in the imperial capital now, and it's okay to kill your whole family!"

As soon as this cruel sentence came out, regardless of others, the many farmers who originally followed the bolt out first flinched, they naturally heard that there seemed to be a woman in Xu Fuzi's family, with some big person, anyway, it was quite beautiful, and the people who had never left the place where they were born for dozens of miles in their lives, saw that it was here, before the authority collapsed, it was their instinct to obey the authority.

Xu Maocai said proudly: "How can there be such a good thing, the government has always been skinned and dismantled to deal with the common people, how can it be to divide the land for you, this bolt is outside, it is estimated that it is a thief who has taken refuge in some mountain, and this is to pull you in." ”

Bolt looked at the villagers who were slightly principled, and he was angry, and shouted: "Xu Maocai, don't talk nonsense here!" Now is a peaceful and prosperous era, where there are any bandits, the bandits have been killed. ”

"Hmph," Xu Maocai thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are no bandits, but you are going to take refuge in the Tartars, right, hmph, I said that you have horses." ”

"You are talking nonsense, this is the land sent to me by the government to farm!"

Xu Maocai waved his hand and said, "your grandma's, take the horse away, hum, these are all stolen goods from your rebellion, yes, they are stolen goods!" ”

The bolt waved a shovel and roared, "I see who dares!" ”

He turned his head, looked at the others, and said, "Are you all stupid, this is because Xu Maocai doesn't want his brothers to get rich, and deliberately embarrass us, do you want to give the old Xu family a lifetime of work." ”

He yelled at the few dilapidated settlements again: "You pigs and dogs are not as good as things, the imperial court is in Liaodong, and one person will give 200 acres of land, which has been said for a long time, you are the lard blindfolded, don't you know, the court said, do not collect the land endowment, it is also this group of black-hearted landlords who cooperate with the officials and force you to pay the money!" ”

He was anxious, and shouted at the Xu family's sons and nephews: "Are you fools, what are you doing here, the Xu family can give you a few points of land, if you go to Liaodong, you will have 200 acres of land, which is more than all of them combined!" ”

These words are useless.

Xu Maocai had been vaccinated before, for fear that these distant relatives, children and nephews would have any ideas, and the emphasis was on how the Xu family survived in Xujiatun.

Before the first person to raise objections appeared, everyone was loyal, and the people with plows and hoes kept smashing on the bolts, and the bolts blocked this and couldn't stop that, and his wife cried, "Uncle, stop, we admit it, admit it." ”

But it still didn't work, the bolt was smashed once, and after two blows, it gradually became difficult to keep up with others, and the people besieging him were not killers, but they were fierce enough.

When he fell in a pool of blood, the people who had originally followed him to Liaodong were already frightened, Xu Maocai looked at it triumphantly, and said, "Hurry up and lead the horse home." ”

Looking at the emboli covered in blood, he spat viciously and said, "You guys, dig a pit and bury it for me, whoever dares to have any other thoughts in the future will end up like this." ”

The old lady of the bolt knelt on the ground and said again and again: "Master Xu, master, we have served, please spare a small life, please be merciful, the old woman is kowtowing to you here." ”

The old lady kowtowed, Xu Maocai was unmoved, and at this time, a person came from outside the village, shouting from afar, "What's wrong!" ”

Xu Maocai's face was overjoyed, and he shouted: "Master, here, there is a thief here, and we have caught a thief." ”

He came and said, "I caught a thief, a good thing, a good thing." ”

Xu Maocai said: "But isn't it, this thief is here to pull people into the gang, and it is inevitable that he will become a thief and harm the people, we stopped him first, aren't you coming." ”

The "servant" raised his head and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you guys," he pointed to the peasants who were surrounded and said, "Be honest in the future, dare to go to the bandits again, and kill the whole family!" ”

Those peasants were submissive, and when they saw the people in the government at this time, they naturally did not dare to resist.

The official nodded and said, "What are you still doing here, it's all scattered, scattered, well, this thief is buried quickly, don't get in the way." ”

Xu Maocai said: "Official, it's good that you're here, come and sit at my house." ”

Several family members were just about to carry the "corpse", but the old lady of the Xu family tried her best to stop it, and at the same time took out the money, threw it out desperately, and said: "It's all for you, uncle, it's all for you, spare my family." ”

There is not much silver on the bolt, but his wife still has a lot of money on him, Xu Maocai looked at it, if this money had been given before, I might have spared your life, and now, it is not all returned to this "servant".

The officer's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's good that you all know your mistakes and can change them." ”

After speaking, he picked up the silver, glanced at Xu Maocai, and then withdrew, followed Xu Maocai's nephew, and went to eat, drink and enjoy.

Xu Maocai shouted, his nephew lifted the bolt with all hands and feet, regardless of the blood, and prepared to find a place to bury it far away, his wife was also pushed and shoved, and some people muttered: "When the time comes, dig deeper and bury two people, you can't be sloppy." ”

Such an unbridled conversation.

The place arrived, a small mass grave, this kind of place, in many villages, there are many of them, those singles who are out of household are "eaten out of households" after death, that is, after the death of an old bachelor, what seven aunts and eight aunts, when the old man is sick, the shadows are gone, all of them come out, as if for the New Year, rush over happily, of course, there is still a mourning.

First they reluctantly buried the deceased, and then it became lively, and they began to stream the feast, exchanging all the property of the deceased for money, and buying a banquet, and eating until it was all eaten.

There are also things such as the death of the main family, and the remaining widows are often going to be Chen Tang, or directly buried, and the property is divided, which is also the so-called wealth of the family.

Of course, if you only look at the propaganda of those public knowledge, you still think that the countryside in this era is a paradise, but unfortunately, in fact, there is no paradise in this world.
