Chenjiazhai was not so much taken by the Black Tiger Army, but rather by the rebellion of the Chen family's tenants.

When Chen San took the sergeant brothers into the small guard cave in the back mountain, after the initial panic, there was a burst of cheers.

The rest of the things are much easier to do, those tenants who were originally guarding the Chen family in the back mountain, after listening to Chen San's explanation, immediately became the vanguard of the Black Tiger Army, picked up knives and guns, abandoned the secret sentry cave, and took the prison sergeant brothers along the path they came and went directly into Chenjiabao, along the way they encountered a nest, the dogs and others shouted to open the door, and rushed in, at that time, they cut down the children of the Chen family, and once again united the tenants who were forced to take care of the Chen family's home to go down the mountain, and then went door to door. In the dilapidated caves and straw sheds inside and out, the tenants of the Chen family, who were originally scattered, found the backbone this time, which was originally a pile of dry firewood, at this moment a torch instead of a spark was immediately ignited, those tenants who were hungry and cold, and did not dare to resist, immediately burst out of their long-suppressed anger, with sticks and kitchen knives, both men and women rushed to the street, and after a fire burned a few rotten grass houses to report the news, hundreds of desperate tenants shouted and went directly to the Chen family's mansion, In the stunned eyes of several lonely dogs of the Chen family, they rushed in and quickly occupied the Chen family's compound, and those Chen family elders and children who were still dreaming were immediately chopped into meat sauce by hundreds of tenants, and then Chen San led people to open the gate of the village and welcome the Lu Shi army.

When Lu Shi came in, the entire Chenjiazhai had become silent, kneeling on both sides of the road were groups of people who were praised by their ragged clothes, under the clumps of tattered cotton wool, or under a piece of straw made of tattered wheat straw, there were bodies that could only see bones and not a little flesh, mostly old people and young people, but rarely saw children, women and children, even if they occasionally saw one or two children, they were all in the arms of their parents, dying, like skeleton corpses, but everyone, Now there was a pair of red eyes flashing on his face, and there was a cannibalistic gaze and anger in those eyes.

Among the hundreds of people who knelt on the ground, the guide man Chen San stood there in an orderly manner, bowed to Lu Shishen, and then said with tears on his face: "Thank you King Chuang for avenging our grievances, you are now our great benefactor." ”

Lu Shi was very ashamed, because this Chenjiazhai really did not win it by himself, but it was to let the people of this Chenjiazhai know that there was a strong force outside the cottage to support them, so that they broke out their inner anger and completed the things they did not dare to do in the past, in fact, they did not dare to think about it, in fact, everything is like this, some things can be done by themselves, but they lack a force and trust in their hearts, more appropriately a dependence, they become staggered, and are willing to accept humiliation and oppression. Lu Shi is this trust and reliance.

Lu Shi jumped off the horse, one by one to help up the people who had been oppressed, and every time he pulled up a pair of dry hands that only had bones left, Lu Shi's heart tightened.

An old man who seemed to be a respected old man in this group of people, with a gray beard, bent over his waist, walked tremblingly in front of Chen San, and whispered to Chen San: "Quickly tell me where Lord Chuang is, so that I can wait to pay homage." ”

Lu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, and hurriedly asked politely: "I am Lu Shi, may I ask my husband that you are high this year?" It really shouldn't have been to greet us in the cold wind like this. ”

The old man opened his dim eyes, carefully looked at the next black and blood-stained Lu Shi, and looked left and right, but there was no king as he imagined, the honor guard deacons were endless, and the team of fresh clothes and angry horses was flying in the big line, so he relaxed his expression, but he still said tremblingly: "Little Lao'er dare not be called Gao Shou by the general, he is just forty-three years old this year, but he is the oldest among the tenants in this Zhuangzi, so he was recommended by the old and young of Hezhuang, If you want to hand over the Chen family manor that we just grabbed to King Wang, everyone fought hard, did not dare to move half of the materials, and asked the general to introduce them, so as to pay tribute to King Chuang. ”

When Lu Shi heard this, his heart was sour, forty-three, in his own time, he was still in the prime of life, but looking at this forty-three man, he seemed to have seventy or eighty, what made him like this? What makes the forty-three-year-old in this cottage the oldest? At this time, the viciousness of the old and strong can be seen.

Lu Shi helped him again: "Old-brother, I am the king you said, now, the Chen family has been taken, the Chen family bully who is bullying your head is about to be ambushed, and the sky that is pressing on everyone's head will be overturned, everyone's good days, at least when I am still alive, everyone's good days are coming." ”

The old man, it should be said that the strong man heard this, looked at Lu Shi in disbelief, and then looked at Chen San beside him, Chen San said to the old man: "Big brother, this is indeed our King Chuang, the leader of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness." ”

As soon as I heard that this thin scholar in a shabby cotton robe and sword scars was the one who relied on King Chuang in everyone's minds, the old man knelt down and kowtowed again and again, and did not dare to say that he was offended.

When Lu Shi saw the urgency, he picked up the old man, and when he got started, he felt that there was nothing in his hand, and his heart was tight at that time, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, it had reached this point, and the Chen family didn't know how to keep some, so that they could continue to be exploited by them? Do we have to drive everyone to a dead end?

At that moment, Lu Shi couldn't help but roar: "Third Brother Chen, where is the Chen family bully, I killed him and let the people get angry." ”

Hearing this, the old man in his forties was so frightened that he wanted to kneel down again, but he couldn't move half a minute in Lu Shi's iron-like arm.

Struggling and hurriedly confessed: "King Chuang forgives the crime, at that time, everyone was indignant for a while, and killed more than 30 members of the Chen family, without the permission of King Chuang, it is really, it is really-" But he turned to plead: "I know that killing people to pay off debts and paying money, everything is done by me, please ask King Chuang to ask for the crime with a small person, and let go of the people of Hecun and other old and young." ”

Lu Shi suddenly realized why the old man had been trembling when he saw him. Not only because the small people visited Shangguan, but also because in their hearts, killing people pays for their lives is an eternal truth, at this time, they just want to treat each other with their bodies and ask Lu Shi for forgiveness for the crime of murder.

Xiaomin still knows how to kill people to pay off debts and pay off debts, but why are those who are high enough to make the whole village die dozens of people every year without the slightest blame? This is the old saying, those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished? Is this really the truth? In such a world, can the small people really rise up without revealing the rod?

Looking at the old man who lived at the bottom, but was the most law-abiding and knew the rules, Lu Shi smiled miserably: "It's good to kill, you are doing the right thing for heaven, such a wicked person, Shangguan doesn't care, it should be managed by us, if you don't care, then this world is still a world?" ”

Lu Shi didn't wait for the old man to argue with gratitude, he turned to Chen San and the prison sergeant brothers who were standing beside him and asked, "Does the Chen family have a granary?" Do we have food to catch? ”

Chen San hurriedly said: "I don't dare to take the granary materials privately, everything is waiting for the king to decide." ”

Lu Shi was furious at that time, glared at his eyes and roared loudly: "Then what are you still doing here?" Are you all wicked people who have broken hearts? Are your hearts made of iron and stone? ”

This roar shocked the audience, and everyone, including the sergeant, panicked, not knowing which Catch-law he had committed.

"Why don't you hurry up and distribute manpower to open a warehouse to help the people? Are you just watching these people starve to death in this miserable rain? ”

This sound immediately woke up the prison sergeants and the brothers who were following behind Lu Shi, and the third uncle was the first to jump out and greet Chunlan loudly, "Chunlan, hurry up and call the sisters to start cooking on fire, and the rest of the people will quickly carry the grain, boil porridge, and support these people." ”

Lu Shi's interruption also made the people who described it as withered suddenly commotion.

Food, food, just now the king said that he wanted to give everyone food, to give everyone relief, to give everyone a way to live, this news can move people's hearts more than anything else, more than anything can make everyone sincerely belong to it.

For a moment, those who no longer had the strength to cheer were left with only whining and crying. All they had left was to cry.

Bags of millet were carried out, piles of bonfires were lit in the vast courtyard square of the Chen family, a large cauldron, earthen pot, or simply a large vat was carried out by everyone, and it was set up on the pile of blazing bonfires, poured water, and then did not wait for the water to boil, and was immediately poured into the rice grain by the anxious brothers, and then put in the salt of the white flowers, as well as the aged air-dried bacon, yes, it was meat, so it was constantly stirred with wooden sticks, so that the aroma fluttered wantonly everywhere in the Chen family village.

Chenjiazhuang's seven or eight hundred old and weak people are all holding bowls, stretching their necks with green tendons, and the women continue to comfort the children who are awakened by the aroma, so anxious but orderly waiting, waiting for them to eat that they never dreamed of.

Chunlan was sweating profusely, constantly stirring the meat porridge in the pot, and anxiously kept shouting Tianchai's brother: "Why is the fire not strong?" Is there no firewood? If it's ripe sooner, you'll give it out sooner, and you'll save a life sooner, don't you know? ”

Not to mention, the firewood is really gone, hundreds of cauldrons of all kinds, how much firewood do you need?

There is really less firewood.

When Chunlan saw it, she shouted loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze, isn't the Chen family's house firewood?" Demolished. ”

Chen Sanxi jumped up, and immediately rushed to the roof of the Chen family's old house with his brother who could still move, overturned the tiles, demolished the house happily, and threw the rafters and wooden planks into the fire, so that the bonfire that kept everyone alive burned again, illuminating every face who was looking forward to survival.

In the hearts of these people, what they demolished was not just an old man's house, but a shackle that had been pressed in their hearts for hundreds of years, and at this moment, all of them let out a long breath.

Follow King Chuang to survive.
