Ming Kingdom: The Wind Rises in Liaodong Chapter 103 Escape

This passage is from my good friend Wang Wei, then the head of the Department of Psychology of Lushun First Hospital. Dr. Wang Wei was in charge of psychological counseling for the rescued Han Baoyi, and she noticed that a patient named "Zhang Tai" had a very special psychological condition, so she paid attention to Zhang Tai's situation. After the Second Battle of Golden State, I visited her and got relevant information from her.

At about 9 p.m. on June 9, two hours before Liu Pojun received the telegram.

Let's turn our gaze to the west. Unlike the eastern defensive line, the western part of the country, as a war zone for a long confrontation with the northern Jinzhou city of Houjin, did not build additional fortifications in front of the long wall. After all, for almost two years before this, the rangers who set out from here had been using the area from North Golden State to Shiheyi as their horse ranch.

However, Zhang Tai, who had worked hard for half a month, looked at the Golden Governor Wall that looked hazy at night, but he did not feel the joy of victory. At the moment, he was in a stiff position, his body bent back, his waist pressed against the wall of the tunnel, his head and legs forward, folded into a bracket shape. He was still holding a bamboo basket in his left hand and a hoe in his right hand, his eyes fixed on the people a few meters away.

Those people are also coated, and Zhang Tai has long been familiar with their names. The leader is surnamed Liu, the eldest in the family, and he is also a righteous person, people call him Liu Boss, but his real name is gradually forgotten. Boss Liu was also looking at Zhang Tai, and his expression slowly evolved from stunned to hideous: "Okay, you dog, you want to say it again, right?" ”

Zhang Tai stared at Boss Liu's face, and his right hand holding the handle of the hoe became green and exposed. He barely opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't." ”

"Then how did you get here?" Boss Liu slowly bent down, clutching a shovel in both hands. On either side of him, the rest of the people also spread out, slowly surrounding Zhang Tai.

"I happened to be here." Zhang Tai began to move to the left of the pit closely, trying to avoid being surrounded by Boss Liu. "You've been trying to run for a long time, haven't you?"

"Who doesn't want to run? I'm afraid it's only you who don't want to run, dog thing! Anyone here will die, hacked to death by Jiannu, exhausted to death, starved to death! Boss Liu subconsciously looked sideways, and Yu Ding was still standing outside the five zhang chatting recently. In the dark of night, this distance is safe.

"What about you, Zhang Tai, do you think you can really live? You don't really think of yourself as a slave master, do you? Boss Liu turned his head and said in a low voice, "Look at your body, does it still hurt to be broken by the whip?" Your cotton clothes have long been torn, and you will die of cold this winter! They won't give you clothes, they don't have enough to wear themselves! ”

"Run away and we'll all die! You might still be alive if you stay! Zhang Tai gritted his teeth and spat out words between his teeth, "Lao Tzu doesn't want to be cut off his head!" ”

"You fart! Can't you see how many coats have been killed these days? Boss Liu's breathing gradually intensified, his eyes were wide open in the dark night, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Zhang Tai: "If you don't want to betray us, just get out, Lao Tzu will run away tonight, if you dare to make a noise, Lao Tzu will kill you." ”

Zhang Tai stared at him, and finally slowly retreated, moving little by little to the corner where he came out. During this period, his eyes never took his eyes off Boss Liu's body for a moment. It wasn't until the stationary Boss Liu completely disappeared from his field of vision that Zhang Tai breathed a sigh of relief and felt the soreness in his eyes caused by not blinking for a long time.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes a few times, and when he opened them again, two Yu Ding suddenly appeared in front of him: "Goucai, hurry up and dig the soil, and only after digging can Lao Tzu sleep." ”

Zhang Tai looked at them blankly, and for a moment he forgot to breathe. These two ordinary words were tantamount to an explosion of thunder in his ears. He was sure that the bosses Liu not far behind him must have also heard Yu Ding's words, and everything slid to the bad end.

Yu Ding, who had just spoken, saw that Zhang Tai didn't move, and he was furious in his heart, so he stretched out his hand and pulled out the whip. Just as he was about to fight, his companion grabbed him and said with a smile: "Wait, this seems to be a slave of the Dachun family, called Zhang Tai, Jia La'e really appreciates this guy, and it is estimated that he is about to raise the flag, so let's stop fighting." ”

Yu Ding snorted coldly and reluctantly put the whip down, but did not return it to his waist. He pushed Zhang Tai away and warned him: "Next time, let the master touch me, and hit your head until your head is cracked." ”

As he was talking, Zhang Tai heard continuous footsteps behind him. Immediately afterwards, Boss Liu's deep voice said: "I've seen two masters." ”

"You're lazy too?" Yu Ding scolded angrily, and several whips were whipped on Boss Liu's body, making a crisp sound of skin and flesh. Boss Liu snorted, knelt down and said, "The slave has been digging the soil, as if he has dug up a few pieces of dog's head gold, and he has come to present it to the master." ”

Zhang Tai slowly turned around and watched the two Yu Ding hurriedly push Boss Liu away. Before Boss Liu's figure disappeared around the corner, he vaguely saw Boss Liu turn his head and steal a cold look at him.

Everything happened so suddenly, Zhang Tai stayed in place and was stunned for a while, and the ghost made a fool of himself to the corner. On the other side of the corner, two Yu Ding had been pressed to the ground. The man wielding the whip was pressed by Boss Liu, his thick arms clasped around his neck, and his shoulders were pressed by Boss Liu's elbows. Yu Ding's face was already extremely pale, his eyes were unusually large, and his bulging face was like two eggs, as if he was about to escape from his face. The mouth is wide open, the tongue sticks out, and there is a faint "uh-uh" sound. Seeing Zhang Tai walk out, he tried to stretch out his hand, waved it in vain a few times in the air, and finally let it go with all his strength.

Boss Liu strangled Yu Ding's neck while staring at Zhang Tai coldly. It wasn't until a cup of tea that he let go of the ding, leaving his head planted in the dirt. "You're so capable, you're such a good minion." Boss Liu stepped on the Yu Ding and stood up, looked at the other Yu Dingβ€”he had been smashed in the head by the shovelβ€”and kicked the other man in annoyance, before grabbing the shovel and walking towards Zhang Tai.

Zhang Tai reacted to what a stupid thing he had done. He hurriedly backed away, then turned sharply and ran.

"What are you doing?" A loud shout interrupted Zhang Tai's thinking. Then there was a trumpet. As if hearing a signal, fierce roars and shouts of killing suddenly came from the previously silent tunnel. In the 100-meter-wide "Z" shaped tunnel, hundreds of coats shouted, and the scattered remnants were instantly overwhelmed by the coaters who far outnumbered them. Hundreds of people climbed out of the tunnels at the same time, running wildly across the open field. Nearly three hundred meters in front of them, the Golden Governor's Wall reflected a faint golden light in the light of the campfire.

The battalion in the rear sounded a loud trumpet. The slaves, who were still supervising the work in the rear, quickly rushed forward, and a continuous burst of gunfire rang out above the tunnel.

Boss Liu realized that something was wrong after hearing the roar, and he didn't have time to settle accounts with Zhang Tai again. He beckoned, and together with a few companions, cut off the heads of the two Yu Ding with shovels, and ripped off their waist knives, and prepared to run out of the pit and flee for their lives. Before leaving, Boss Liu gritted his teeth and squatted down again, and vigorously peeled off the leather armor of one of Yu Ding.

"Run, there's no time!" A companion crouched above the pit and roared. From time to time, he turned his head to look into the distance, and it was the others who had begun to flee.

"Wait a minute, soon." Boss Liu didn't raise his head to work. When he finally took off his leather armor, he looked up and saw that his companion was looking at him blankly, but he was dead with an arrow stuck in his chest.

Boss Liu turned around slowly, and a big man in chain mail really looked at him.

Zachdan grinned, his expression a bit like a smile. He threw his bow and arrows on the ground and drew his sword. Not far away, more Jiannu were chasing after the earthen wall over the tunnel, shooting and shooting arrows as they ran.

Boss Liu put down his leather armor and grabbed the shovel with both hands. Without speaking, Zachdan jumped down the pit with ease, and the two slammed into each other.

"And then?" Wang Wei quickly recorded Zhang Tai's dictation in a notebook, raised her head and said.

"I don't remember exactly." Zhang Tai lowered his eyes and said with some hesitation.

Wang Wei flipped through the notebook and reminded: "You said before, Zachdan said that you killed Boss Liu. ”

Zhang Tai raised his head suddenly, leaning forward subconsciously, and was restrained by the writing board installed on the armrest of the chair. The guards behind Wang Wei immediately stood up and sat back in their positions at Wang Wei's signal.

"I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill Boss Liu." Zhang Tai swallowed his saliva and whispered.

Wang Wei held her chin in her hand and looked at Zhang Tai quietly for a while. A few minutes later, Wang Wei broke the silence in the conversation room: "Okay, Comrade Zhang, it's okay." Thank you for cooperating with my work, and your treatment plan is almost complete. Now you can go back to camp to relax, sleep, or exercise. ”

The guards stood up and took down the clipboard for Zhang Tai. Zhang Tai slowly got up and followed the guard out of the door of the conversation room. In the hallway, warm sunlight shines through the open windows, and on the flower beds leaning against the windows, unknown wildflowers are swaying in the warm summer breeze.
