Tan San is an ordinary Han peasant, the most ordinary and ordinary kind.

In the past 25 years of his life, his greatest wish is to marry a mother-in-law - it doesn't matter if he is beautiful or not, but he must be able to have children, preferably more than three sons, and then when he dies, he can leave his sons thirty acres of land of his own, and if he can have another brick house, it must be the most beautiful and beautiful dream to achieve.

In fact, so far, Tan San has failed to fulfill any of his dreams.

Tan San has never been able to marry his mother-in-law, because no one will marry his daughter to a poor tenant who has no tiles on his head and no land under his feet.

Ah, of course, he was poor not because he was lazy, but because the world was not suitable for his kind of industriousness, and the only advantage was that only the hardworking peasant could survive.

Tan San was able to take care of the thirty acres of barren slope fields of Master Cao's family by himself, and at the same time, he could also help Master Cao's family cultivate, water and harvest other land when he was busy with farming.

Plough without oxen, ploughing completely on your shoulders.

There was no water for watering, so you had to climb over three hills and pick it up one by one.

The harvest is better, but you must rush to avoid a rain, and all the hard harvest of the year will be lost.

In winter, Tan San has to make some tofu with his father every day and run fifty miles of mountain roads to sell it in the county seat.

But the income from his hard work for a year is only enough to pay off the donkey he borrowed from Master Cao's house when his mother died and was buried and his father was treated and ...... medicine, uh, it is the interest ......, okay, it is a part of the interest .......

So even if Tan San's father sold his sister to Master Cao's mansion as a maid, even if he worked 365 days a year, he could only keep borrowing new loan sharks every year to be half-starved and half-fed.

As a result, Tan San doesn't know how much money he owes now, but it is certain that his old Tan family will not be able to pay off this debt for the next three generations - if the old Tan family is still not extinct.

A month ago, Master Cao's housekeeper took Zhuang Tou to the village where Tan San lived to pull Zhuang Ding, and at that time, the housekeeper made a heavy promise that as long as he repelled the robbers from Qi Province this time, he would owe Master Cao a debt in the past...... Instead of a write-off, all interest is canceled and only the principal is repaid.

This is a great opportunity, Tan San was coaxed by this promise to find the north, while setting a new life goal of paying off his debts in this life, while carrying the iron-headed spear of Zhuang's hair, he followed to Wuliyi.

Then he was caught by those "robbers from Qi Province".

In fact, even for being arrested, he couldn't blame him, an honest peasant, at that time the Qi army was bombarding the chest wall with cannons, although in Tan San's opinion, no one in this world could resist this kind of terrifying attack like the Five Thunder Righteous Law of God, but for the promise of paying off the interest, he still held his head and insisted on squatting behind the chest wall, resolutely unwilling to escape.

Because Zhuang Tou, who was appointed as a petty officer, said that whoever dared to escape this time would not only not be exempted from interest, but would also take back all the land he rented and the house he rented, and the whole family would rush to the mountains to feed the wolves.

However, Tan San, who was squatting behind the breastwork and did not want to flee or fight back, found that Zhuang Tou, who wielded a big knife and did not allow everyone to escape, was the ...... the earliest and fastest person in their team to escape.

So everyone dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Tan San still firmly squatting behind the chest wall.

As a result, everyone saw ...... Tan San successfully lived in the prisoner of war camp of the Qi army.

As a small episode of this little story, Tan San met his Zhuang head Zhang Youtian in the temporary prisoner of war camp - the first Zhuang head to escape was blocked at the west gate of Wuliyi, and he also moved in a quarter of an hour after Tan San was captured.

Zhang ...... Master Zhang ......" Tan San asked tremblingly, "What are these thieves going to do with us?" ”

"We're going to die......" Zhang Youdi's trembling was no lighter than Tan San's, because the butler who was sent to the middle-level officer once told him that the soldiers of the Qi State would eat people!

A soldier of Qi has to eat one person every day, and it is not taboo to be cold, the meat of the mother-in-law and the baby is tender and delicious, and the meat of Ding Zhuang is chewy, even the old man can cook the old soup ......, the housekeeper said that it is vivid, and he also warns all the Zhuang heads, including Zhang Youdi, that they must not be caught by the soldiers of the Qi State, and they must be beaten to the end, otherwise they will be eaten alive!

"Huh? So what should I do? He's so old, he can't take care of those ...... at all" Tan San cried miserably: "I don't want to die, I don't have a mother-in-law, I don't have a baby, and if I die, my family will be gone...... Wow......"

"When are you still thinking about those places...... Wow......"

The cry of the two of them was like throwing a big stone into a pond in the spring, causing a wah, and after a while, the entire prisoner of war camp was immersed in a sad atmosphere that made the Qi soldiers a little confused.

"What the hell is going on!?"

The few gendarmes could do nothing but shout angrily in the crowd over the howls of the thousands of captives:

"Don't cry! What are a bunch of big men crying? I'm going to beat you again! ”

Incompetent rage, useless.

"Go and apply for a troop transfer!" The military police platoon commander angrily ordered: "At least two companies are transferred!" Whoever cries beats whom! Lao Tzu can't cure them if he doesn't believe it! ”

Half an hour later, the prisoner of war battalion applied for reinforcements from a cavalry company, two infantry companies, and two gendarmerie platoons.

Of course, everyone was tired of crying at this time (crying for almost an hour, who has this ability except for children?). The scene can be controlled without the transfer of troops to beat people.

"What the hell is going on with you? What are a bunch of big men crying about? ”

The platoon commander of the military police, who managed the prisoner of war camp, stood on a high place and asked loudly:

"Who's to say why?"

"This ...... The old man ...... "A middle-aged man in a silk shirt, who looked more like a rich man than an officer, stood up tremblingly, and asked, "What is Daqi going to do with us?" ”

This question is very important, Zhang Youdi raised his head and looked at the person who asked with teary eyes, and he suddenly found that this person was the butler ......who brought himself to fight and said that the soldiers of Qi State had to eat human meat rolls and flatbread every day.

"What to do with you? Let you go home, of course. ”

The commander of the military police platoon said with a look of course:

"Why, do you still want to eat our food from us? How can there be such a good thing! ”

"Huh? Let us go? ”

"Yes, let you go, and let you go now." The commander of the gendarmerie platoon said: "Stand in line!" Queue up for three rows, gather at the door, report your name and place of origin, and then you can go home. ”

There was silence, and all the captives could not believe their ears.

'Is this really a man-eating robber?' Zhang Youdi looked at the mighty tweed coat on the gendarme, and thought to himself: "This is the word of the robber, and the grass seems to be good." ’

In that case, I still have time to go home and help my father take care of the fields?' Tan San's idea was much simpler.
