Chapter 20 Friendship
Lu Shi and Zhao Dahai brothers stood outside the gate for a long time, waiting impatiently, suddenly heard a burst of coaxing people in the gate, the gate then opened suddenly, a group of people hurriedly ran out, in front of a man wearing a white arrow robe (the kind of robe with tightened cuffs) with a wide belt tied around the waist, fast boots, laughed and hugged his fists and stepped forward and said: "I don't know what kind of good wind blows the benefactor here, but let the benefactor wait outside the door for a long time, it is really slack, sinful and sinful." β
As soon as Zhao Dahai saw someone coming, he was also busy taking a few steps forward, and laughed: "But just climbed out of my mother-in-law's arms?" How many times, I am here to eat wind. β
"The benefactor laughed, didn't he just get the reward, so he rushed to meet him? I don't dare to leave my benefactor out to eat and drink. Come, hurry into the village, I already have good wine and meat waiting. β
After speaking, he was about to take Zhao Dahai's hand into the village, Zhao Dahai smiled and pushed away Guo Tianxing's hand and said: "Slow down, I still have a good brother with me today, and I will introduce you to you." β
Only then did Guo Tianxing notice that there was a young man behind Zhao Dahai, and when he was fighting with Zhao Dahai, Shi Shiran was standing there calmly, with a heartfelt smile on his face, which made people feel friendly at a glance.
hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It's the benefactor's brother, it's my brother, I'm slacking here, please forgive my faux pas." Then he bowed, very respectfully.
Lu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute, and said with a smile: "Along the way, I heard Brother Zhao praise the great masters of the Heavenly Star Heaven, which is rarely difficult to find on the ground, and now that I see him, he is really a well-known and well-known man, Lu Shi is polite here." β
was praised by Lu Shi, although the star was humble, but his face was full of joy, which brought the relationship between the two closer and closer.
"Over the stars, my brother is different from others, he is a scribe who can read and hyphenate, if it weren't for the difficulties of the world, he wouldn't be able to show off his talents."
In this era, the cultural level of the whole Ming Dynasty is low, a village or one or two scholars is the glory of the village, people naturally have a fear of the readers, even if it is a small child and the people meet on the road, regardless of the old people and children have to retreat to the side of the road respectfully greeting.
Hearing that Lu Shi was a scribe, Guo Tianxing hurriedly stepped forward again to salute respectfully, and called him sir.
Lu Shi said with a smile: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the Zhao family's brother, I just know a few words, and for no reason I have divided the relationship between you and my brothers, we are still brothers." β
At that time, Guo Tianxing laughed, and he was able to call a scribe a brother, and his face immediately had glory.
After a polite remark, the three of them pulled each other and walked into the village.
Lu Shi entered the cottage, and then looked at the inside of the cottage, which was even more chaotic, a huge square, and a lot of thatched huts and cottages were built around it. The young men sitting or standing in front of the house and behind the house may have knives and guns in their hands, but more often they are wooden sticks with sharpened heads.
In the thatched houses around the square, there are women, girls, children and old people coming and going, seeing this, Lu Shi knew that this cottage is not so much a robber's den, but more appropriate to say that it is a refuge for displaced people.
This is also a true portrayal of the Ming Righteous Army, even the later Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and other big rebels, who traveled thousands of miles to drag their families with their mouths, and there were old camps in the army. Is it said that the rebel army is not a great migration of displaced people? All the people are soldiers, and all soldiers are people, and if you win, you will rush forward, and if you lose, you will be defeated for thousands of miles, which is also a major feature of the peasant rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty.
This is why the border army of the government is now busy dealing with Mongolia and is unable to clear it, if the government frees up its hands one day, will it not be down with such a rabble? Alas, peasants are peasants, and it is true that they lack organization and foresight, and can only be a bandit in one place, and they cannot achieve great things.
Walk through the noisy square, come to the only high hall of the whole cottage at the end of the school field, the hall has two steps, the door is open, and I see the words "righteous qi thousand autumns" written crookedly on the huge gable wall inside, but it is a bit nondescript to have such a sentence in this bandit's den. This is the so-called Juyi Spoils Hall.
Everyone came in, and the star let Zhao Dahai sit down, but Zhao Dahai resolutely refused, so he coaxed and humbled for a while, and finally sat down.
"The benefactor seems to have come in the starry night, there must be something big, we are all lifelong friendships, don't be vain, if there is anything, in the wind and fire, go on." The stars are refreshing, and they run directly to the point.
"Okay, it's still brother's refreshment." Zhao Dahai patted the armrest of the chair and praised it, and then said: "It's just that the word benefactor should not be mentioned again in the future, you and I are brothers, so that we don't feel angry." β
The star was also refreshing, and he said at the moment: "Just according to my brother, we are commensurate with brothers, by the way, my brother hasn't told me your intention yet?" β|
Zhao Dahai was not polite, and said immediately: "Brother knows that brother you are faithful, this time my brother really has something to ask for, but this thing is difficult to do, it is difficult to speak." β
"It's all brothers, and big things are just idle, brother." As soon as these words came out, they revealed the true character of the heroes and heroes of the stars.
Without waiting for Zhao Dahai to speak, Lu Shi smiled and said, "Brother Zhao and I came, but we came to send a great fortune, but I don't know if the big boss of Tianxing is willing to take it?" β
Zhao Dahai said that it was from friendship and kindness, and Lu Shi's words were from the exchange of interests, which was the art of rebellion.
When Lu Shi said this, the two masters of Guo Tianxing and the second master immediately became interested, and they all stretched out their necks and waited for Lu Shi to follow.
Lu Shiyun said lightly: "The big wealth mentioned is actually not big, but it is just tens of thousands of stones of grain and tens of thousands of taels of silver." β
As soon as these words came out, Guo Tianxing was not paying attention at that time, and almost sat on the ground. Hurriedly stood up in embarrassment, and eagerly asked, "Sir, are you laughing at us?" Where is the grain? "Guo Tianxing was worried about the lack of cooking, and he heard that there were tens of thousands of stones of grain. The eyes are red, there are really tens of thousands of stones of food, and it will not be a problem for the cottage to survive the winter.
"It's all my own brothers, why do I want to make you happy?" Lu Shi only asked about food and not money, and he saw that this person was open-minded and generous, concerned about the people of the cottage, and decided that this person could be handed over.
"It's not just a joke." also felt that he was out of shape, Guo Tianxing laughed and defended, but immediately hurriedly asked: "Sir, tell me where the grain is?" "There was urgency in my eyes.
Lu Shi didn't answer this question, but said with a smile: "I want to come to the big boss to know that this Shaanxi is in a great drought, and the grain storage in various places is limited, but only the garrison mountain is close to the left, and there is the power of the little brother's windmill, but it is a rare good harvest, and the output per mu of land is actually higher than in previous years." β
"I know this, my spies have also been there, and I have seen that the windmills along the river are everywhere, watering the land along the river with abundant harvests, but I don't think it is the means of the gentleman, well, really good." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but blush and said: "Brother, don't be careful, I know that the garrison mountain is your brother's land, I don't dare to rob, I just send spies to find out, and then find some money to prepare to buy some for the winter." β
When this was said, everyone laughed, Zhao Dahai laughed, but his face darkened, and he coughed and said: "Actually, you might as well plunder in advance, it's better than now." β
"Why is that?" Guo Tianxing asked in confusion.
"It is this that overcharges three or five buckets, but it attracts the government and Haoqiang to peep, which brings disaster to the old and young masters of the garrison mountain, and its misery is even worse than in previous years."
So under the questioning of Guo Tianxing, he told the situation of the garrison mountain, and this matter has already made everyone indignant and bloody. The starry sky gritted his teeth even more, and when he heard the righteous indignation, he smashed his fist on the table, and he didn't feel that his hands were bleeding because of the force.
"Brother Zhao, I know your intention, that is, you want me to send troops to Zhangjiabao to rescue the villagers."
"Exactly, just to save my relatives, I want you to kill and injure my brother, I really can't bear to be a brother." Zhao Dahai said frankly.
"Brother, the family doesn't talk to each other, your relatives are my relatives, I have a good temperament to repay my kindness, and I have made friends with a righteous person like my brother, if I see the Zhang family become a corpse and you are indifferent, then I really look down on you."
Lu Shi laughed and said: "Guo Tianxing, true man, I admire." β
"Mr. Zanyang doesn't dare to be, righteousness is the first eternal admonition, but I pity my brothers who want to fight to the death with me, and they are also dragging their families to their mouths, and their hearts are miserable."
The second boss strode forward and said: "The big boss is multi-hearted, since he has come to this point of going up the mountain, everyone has already thought about the consequences of filling the ditch, rather than cowering and living, maybe one day he will be surrounded and suppressed by the officials and soldiers and die, it is better to die vigorously for the sake of the villagers." That's just dying early and dying late, what's the matter? But according to my brother's orders, I will fight with you, and I will not blame you for the size of the village. β
As soon as he lowered his head, when he raised his eyes, he was already in tears and whispered: "If you want to blame it, blame God for making people, and leave us in this troubled era of natural and man-made disasters, just die first and live first, I hope that for 5,000 years, it will become a pig and a dog, and don't live in this world again." β
Lu Shi was speechless, and he was also teary-eyed, he would rather be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person, how bitter is it to be a living person?
"How about we die together after we have eaten this breakfast?" The second master said generously.
"It is this truth, in the troubled times of life, it is necessary to have this consciousness, never forget the righteousness, fight the sword and ride the horse, is to fight for the world to live, even if you die, it is vigorous." Guo Tianxing shook his feet and said resolutely: "Come on, bring me the good wine I treasure, I will get drunk today, and then take advantage of the excitement to send troops." β
Talking in the house, there are already little minions outside who know the situation, and they told the old and young in the cottage for a while, so the cottage is in a commotion and shouting, everyone knows that attacking the fortress, especially the fort that has been repaired for a hundred years like the Zhang family, needs a lot of lives to fill, so in the cottage, there are crying people, dull people, numb people, of course, there are excited, but after all, such people are a minority.
But no matter what kind of expression it is, there is a tragic atmosphere in the cottage.
Knowing that he is going to die, but he still dies for kindness and generosity for his fellow villagers, this is a kind of simple justice.
Lu Shi was deeply moved by this simple justice.
