Wuzhou Raiders Chapter 2 Reduced to the god of wine and left his hometown
Coincidentally, the ancestral home of the goddess of the moon is Chun'an County, Hangzhou City, and now Chun'an, Muzhou, Jiangnan Road. This land also nurtured another idol of the goddess, the female emperor Chen Shuozhen, who historian Jian Bozan called the first female emperor of China. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Wu Kang also roughly understood the life of the empress.
She is a native of Muzhou Pheasant Mountain Zitong and a widow. At the beginning of October in the fourth year of Yonghui, the people of Zhejiang could not bear the greed of officials and the coercion of plunder, she and her brother-in-law Zhang Shuyin erected an anti-flag in Qingxi County, Muzhou, and proclaimed themselves Emperor Wenjia.
Wu Kang couldn't help but be secretly happy, he and her were still fellow villagers in the same county, etc... A spirit sat up from the bed, and in an instant, as if struck by lightning, he pulled his teeth from the wound and grinned, and a cold sweat slipped down his neck. It is now the seventh month of the third year of Yonghui, and Widow Chen will rebel in October next year? Oh my mother, although there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, you are too old!
How good is that? It was very entangled for a while, and now Chun'an is a barrel of explosives, and he must escape as soon as possible! Frowning and thinking for a long time, he began to peel off the cocoon and weigh the pros and cons. First of all, you must not follow the rebellion, Widow Chen's rebellion was not even a flash in the pan, the October rebellion was exterminated in November, the epiphany withered before it opened, and she was also captured and tortured by the official army.
She relied on religious fallacies to confuse the public, claiming to be the Nine Heavens Xuannu descending to earth, fooling those ordinary people into loyal believers, and leading them to kill officials and rebel. In fact, these ordinary people who have not undergone military training are just a rabble who collect chicken feathers and dusters.
Her opponent is not the rotten guards of the Ming Dynasty, but the government soldiers who are still strong in combat. The Tang Empire had just been established, the land annexation was not serious, and the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers was still strong. The rabble against the elite soldiers of a hundred battles is nothing more than a mantis arm as a car to hit a stone with an egg, and defeat is doomed.
If you stay in Chun'an, you will either be held hostage by the rebels, or you will be killed by the officials and soldiers. If a gentleman does not stand under the wall, he must jump out of the quagmire and escape as soon as possible, to be precise, he will flee with his cheap father and mother and a family of four.
The escape route must be well planned! She Zhou in the west and Wuzhou in the south could not go, that was the main direction of attack of the rebels. Quzhou in the southwest can't go either, the degree of development is not as good as Muzhou, and people have to go to higher places.
There are only Yuezhou in the east and Hangzhou in the north, and after thinking about it, I decided to go to Hangzhou. First, in this era, the north is the economic center, and the north is far more developed than the south. Second, as a modern person, I must have a soft spot for Hangzhou.
The long-term worries are temporarily resolved, and the near-term worries are coming again, how to persuade the family to leave. This poor family has no rice to cook, where can he have the money to migrate long distances? Even if you have money, it's not easy to do, and in this era, you should attach great importance to the words "the homeland is hard to leave", as well as the fallen leaves to return to the roots. Even in modern society, relocating a family is not just a matter of touching the lower lip with the upper lip.
Wu Kang estimated that he must find a way to get rich first, and only when he has economic strength can he be qualified to talk about other things. The only way to get rich in a year is to do business, and although businessmen are classified as inferior, they are insignificant compared to small lives.
How to earn the first pot of gold has become an urgent need at the moment. The traverser is making glass and wine, and in his previous life he was just a physical education teacher who taught Chinese, and he didn't know anything except the two taels of meat on his body. In this life, there is no skill, and only the strength can be used to do some three-legged cat kung fu. The more I thought about it, the bigger my head became, and I was still at a loss for insomnia until the rooster crowed, and finally I couldn't stay up and fell asleep.
The next thing is to stay in bed to recuperate, Wu treats him like his own son, almost undressed and takes care of him day and night, and kills the old hen that lays eggs at home. Wu Kang was very grateful and eager for maternal love, and a "Ah Niang" made Wu cry, it turned out that the bastard boy had never shouted like this before. During the period, relying on endless fairy tales, he also established a good relationship with Wu Xiaomei, and there is no child who doesn't like to listen to stories.
The only regret is that the cheap dad has never come, and he is probably still angry. At this time, the Wu clan will act as a lobbyist, running around at both ends and saying good things at both ends. Wu Kang is not too worried, after all, blood is thicker than water, and the overnight feud between father and son is the easiest to be smoothed by time. When the injury is healed, kowtow and apologize, and the matter will be overturned.
As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, and he is bedridden for half a month, and his external and internal injuries are healed. During this period, he was thinking of ways to make a fortune all the time, and one bad idea after another was vetoed because the objective conditions did not allow it. For a while, Qian donkey's skills were poor, and he could only take one step at a time.
Looking at the few moonlights shining through the roof, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a wry smile, now there is still farm work in the field, tomorrow I will admit my mistake to Lao Wu and help the family do some farm work within my ability. Thinking of this again, I was full of helplessness, and closed my eyes and went into sleep mode.
When I was asleep, I vaguely felt someone shaking my head, and when I opened my eyes, I found that it was my stepmother Wu, and my mouth was blocked just when I wanted to say hello. I saw that she was full of panic, stuffed the package in her hand into his arms, pulled his wrist down, lowered her voice and said anxiously: "Da Lang go with his mother, it's too late!" ”
Wu Kang was not lightly frightened, got out of bed like a marionette, and followed in a daze. The light in Lao Wu's bedroom was on, as if there were guests, and the sound of conversation could be vaguely heard.
He didn't come back to his senses until he came to the gate of the courtyard wall, and said in his heart, what the hell is going on, Widow Chen rebelled in advance? It shouldn't be! His butterfly has been bedridden, and he hasn't had time to stir his wings yet!
As soon as he opened his mouth to ask and was gagged, Wu carefully opened the firewood door, and went out to check on both sides, acting like an underground worker. After making sure that there was no one on the road, he pulled him out and lowered his voice again and said, "Da Lang, you run for your life, someone is trying to harm you!" Go south to Wuzhou to find your uncle, he opened a Genbao teahouse in the south of Yamen, you go to him, don't come back! Hurry up... If it's late, you won't be able to come! ”
Wu Shi's anxious tears flowed out, and he pushed him out. Wu Kang saw that her true feelings were not like acting, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, could it be that he was drunk and beat Lao Wu and was stabbed out, if this is really the case, a catastrophe is coming!
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to delay, turned around and left with the package, walked a few steps and stopped, turned around again and knelt on his knees, and said in a low voice: "Mother, take care of Aya, Kang'er will come back to pick you up when she earns money outside." And also... If someone rebels next year, tell Aya not to get involved and find a place to hide from the limelight! ”
After that, he watched Wu's tears welling up, kowtowed three heads silently, got up and strode into the night. If you think about it carefully, it's good to leave this place, the tree moves the dead and the living, it has long been notorious here, and there will be no chance of getting ahead, find a place where no one knows you, and start over!
According to the memory of the original owner, when he came to the entrance of Wujia Village, he was faced with a small forest, and through the woods was the official road leading to Wuzhou. I am very helpless, Wuzhou will also be attacked by rebels in the future, I was going to Hangzhou, but the plan can't catch up with the changes!
Shaking his head slightly, as soon as he walked into the grove, he heard a gong sound, and then there were shouts and roars one after another: Hugh left Wu Dalang; Hold on to him and don't let him run; Caught Wu Dalang and sacrificed to the god of wine...
Wu Kangdeng's hairs stood on end, Wu Dalang's unlucky title is really unreliable at the moment, this is the social custom of the Tang Dynasty. The surname Wu is still the eldest son in the family, so he is naturally called Wu Dalangjun, referred to as Wu Dalang, the cheap brother is Wu Erlang, and Jiaojiao is Wu Xiaoniang.
But this is not the time to dwell on this, watching the torches in the woods and the crowds, without saying a word, they ran to the village. I had just run less than a hundred paces when I heard a gong sound on the opposite side, and a noisy shout.
Four green lights flashed, and with the barking of dogs, two big dogs pounced. It's Li Dahu's dog, and no one can open the pot at this time, and the one who can raise a dog is his family.
Thinking that he had been bitten by these two beasts, he gritted his teeth and opened his posture, ready to attack like a beast. The eye was quickly choking the neck of one of them, and the left leg was bitten by the other. The pain in his heart made him go crazy, kicked the one that bit his leg away, and at the same time used all his strength to pinch it, and soon strangled the one in his hand to death, and threw it on the ground and ran into the field next to him.
It should also be his bad luck, the rain just the day before yesterday, and he fell into the quagmire. Crowds poured in from all directions, but there was really no way to heaven and no door to hell, and they were ambushed from all sides. These are all villagers in this village, still shouting and screaming, punching and kicking him for a while, the back of his head was hit by something, and he fainted in front of him.
Gradually, he regained consciousness, and a neat shout sounded in his ears, as if it was "sending Dionysus" or something. Slowly open your eyes to the strong sunlight, and when you get used to the light, you are stunned by the scene.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, almost the entire Wucun people came. They all looked bitter and hateful, shouting "send the god of wine" in unison, and at the same time rhythmically raising their clenched fists, the posture was like a demonstration.
Wu Kang wondered very much in his heart, what did I do, recruit you or provoke you, what the hell is the god of wine? Feeling unwell in confusion, he lowered his eyebrows and couldn't cry or laugh when he looked at it, and he was hung on the old willow tree at the head of the village, it was still the same recipe, and it was still the original taste.
But this time he was hanged head-up, with more than a dozen hemp ropes tied to his chest, his hands tied behind his back, and a sign hanging around his neck, with the two big characters "Bacchus" crookedly twisted on it.
Is this a criticism meeting? Just when he was confused, he heard an unfamiliar scolding, and the shouting stopped instantly. Wu Kang followed the sound and found a Taoist priest about forty years old, wearing a dark blue robe, long thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and a breast-length goatee. The left hand pinched the sword finger and stood in front of his chest, and the right hand danced a peachwood sword, with a yellow rune paper tied on the sword, twisting his waist and hanging his ass and dancing awkwardly, and there were words in his mouth.
In front of him was a long offering table, covered with a yellow tablecloth, lit with green incense and candles. On either side of the table stood two Taoist boys, about seven or eight years old, also wearing Taoist robes. One of them received the old way's eyes, scooped a bowl of water from the wooden barrel next to him, left the barrel more than a foot high, and poured the water into it. Repeat this five times to draw everyone's attention, and then scoop the bowl full of water and place it on the incense table.
Lao Dao bypassed the incense case and came to stand on the opposite side, facing the villagers with his back to Wukang, and shouted "bah" for a while, and his wide sleeves covered the broken bowl. Two minutes later, he shouted "bah" again, muttered "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law", and raised his sleeves to reveal the mouth of the bowl. The villagers exclaimed in amazement, and they all knelt down in unison, clasped their palms together and prayed sincerely, as if they had encountered something incredible.
The bowl was blocked by Lao Dao, and Wu Kang couldn't see the situation, and when Lao Dao was puzzled, he took action and raised the bowl high. Only then did Wu Kang realize that the water in the bowl had frozen and turned into a deep cold ice cube. Now it's dog days, and it's really a bit unbelievable, no wonder the villagers bow and worship.
After thinking about it for a while, you can understand the routine, isn't this the necessary saltpeter ice for traversers? The chemical name of saltpeter is calcium nitrate, and when it is dissolved in water, it will absorb heat, and the water will naturally condense into ice when the temperature drops. It is said on the Internet that it was only discovered and applied at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and it was very popular during the Song and Song dynasties, which can be regarded as promoting the progress of history. However, now that it is the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, is this old guy also a traverser?
Lao Dao knocked the ice cube on the incense case, coughed twice and shouted: "Poor Dao is the three-eyed Taoist chief of Jiuhua Zhenren, this time he went down the mountain by the decree of the Nine Heavens Xuannu to save the people from the dire situation." Passing by the boundary of Wucun, I found that yin and yang were out of harmony and there were demons and evils, and I pinched my fingers and counted that it was the god of wine who created evil. The Dionysian was an alcoholic, and not only ruined his own family, but also affected the entire village. It is a poor way to decisively come out, and the hand is to subdue the demon and eliminate the demon! ”
When the ignorant villagers heard this, they exploded again, and some of them criticized Wu Kang, saying that he had stolen all the family's money to drink. Some scolded him and said that he was the god of wine, some yelled that he was going to harm the whole village, and some directly shouted that he killed Wu Kang...
The crowd is boiling like a toad pit after the rain, it is really a criticism conference! Wu Kang has become a heinous person, and not killing is not enough to be angry with the people! The villagers gritted their teeth, eager to eat their flesh raw.
At this point, he finally understood why the Wu clan let him run for his life in the middle of the night, why he was chased and intercepted by the villagers, and the old miscellaneous hairy gossip in front of him confused the public.
If what is expected is true, the master of Lao Zamaoer, the Nine Heavens Xuannu he said, is the widow of Chen Shuo Zhenzhen who rebelled in the coming year. According to historical records, this immoral girl used this trick to fool ordinary people into becoming believers, and followed her to kill officials and rebel, and there was no way back.
originally sympathized with her, after all, the root of this rebellion was that the government was expropriating and expropriating the people, and it was normal for the people to be unable to survive and raise the flag of rebellion. But now if you want to sacrifice your own flag, you have to do something else! glanced at the crowd a few times, and did not find Lao Wu's family, presumably controlled by the villagers at home.
Lao Dao raised his arms and the villagers quieted down, and two strong men came out of the crowd, they were Wu Mingli, the butcher of Wujia Village, and his son. The two of them took a pig-killing knife and a whetstone, put it on the incense table, and stood aside respectfully. The old Taoist danced the peachwood sword, and then sprayed a mouthful of wine on the knife and stone.
Wu Mingli spat in the palm of his hand, pulled down the collar and was shirtless, held the whetstone on the ground and began to sharpen the knife, and after a while, he tested the blade with his fingers. When it was time to grind the tea, I pulled off a handful of hair and put it on the blade of the knife, blew on the hair, and the hair was neatly broken into two, and nodded with satisfaction and continued to grind.
The noise of the noise makes Wu Kang's scalp tingle, is this true? Oh my god! After crossing over, he fell into a political victim, and he fell for eight lifetimes.
Suddenly there was a crying sound in the distance, and the sound was very familiar. Wu Kang's pupils constricted and he raised his head, and saw the four members of the martial arts family at the entrance of the village. Dad was held by the two uncles, biting his lip and shedding tears, and still holding Wu Erlang's dog in his hand. Wu was also surrounded by several healthy women, holding Jiaojiao with one hand and crying with the other.
The crowd split a path left and right, and the Wu clan came to the front, knelt in front of the old patriarch, and pleaded with a handful of snot and tears. Father Wu also knelt down and begged bitterly, begging the old patriarch to open up the net and let Wu Kang live. The old patriarch was entangled for a long time, maybe his conscience found it, maybe his conscience was uneasy, and he actually pleaded with Lao Dao.
Lao Dao helped the old patriarch up, and said with a smile: "The old man has tormented the poor road, and the poor road has not said that he wants to take the life of the god of wine, he only needs to be a mage to send him away, and he is not allowed to set foot in our village again in the future!" ”
Patriarch Wu nodded again and again, and the Wu couple also hurried over to thank him. Lao Dao began to dance awkwardly again, shaking his head like a duck walking, and the picture was very spicy.
Wu Kang looked at the teary-eyed Wu, smiled and shook his head firmly, signaling her not to cry. Turning his head to look at his father, he smiled apologetically. The two looked at each other, and Father Wu actually felt steady from his son's eyes, and forgot to shed tears for a while.
After Lao Dao finished the ritual and gave an order, the villagers rushed up to the willow tree, and the butcher's son climbed the tree and cut the rope with a knife. Wu Kang fell and was caught by the villagers, and was held up by countless hands.
The two Taoist boys shouted and opened the way in front of their heads, and the villagers also shouted, as if singing, it was very interesting: Dionysus, you Dionysian ghost, what kind of relationship did I have in Wucun with you, why don't you go to the prosperous family, how can you enter my door, you are hereditary to live in my Wu Village, and you should also go to visit relatives in big households, you call me a guest to stay for dinner, you make me penniless...
Not to mention that it rhymes, the old Taoist priest is very talented, and he fools people one by one! But you have completely offended me, the little master is famous for his baht and retribution. Aren't you rebelling next year? When the little master arrives in Wuzhou, he finds his uncle and settles down, writes down your conspiracy in a small notebook, reports it anonymously to Wuzhou Assassin History, and strangles your sweet dreams in the cradle.
I wanted to turn my head to look for my parents, but I found that my hair was pulled and I couldn't move, so I had no choice but to squint at the sky. In fact, there was no sadness in my heart, but a little bit of happiness. Half of the eldest child eats Lao Tzu to death, and the family is already poor, and without his own rations, the family can eat more.
After this incident, presumably on the day of Widow Chen's rebellion, Dad would not have been in the same league with them. It is very likely that you will listen to your own orders and find a safe place to hide. It will not be implicated afterwards, let alone liquidated.
Looking at the crows flying in the sky, I made a grand wish, waiting for me to get ahead, return to my hometown, and pick you up to enjoy Qingfu!
