San'er, who gets the benefits of the cottage, is one such crowd.

San'er was originally a farmer on the outskirts of Fuxian County, originally there were a few acres of thin fields at home, his parents and aunts were tending to the land, and his father could also make some baskets to sell in the market during the slack time, in exchange for some oil and salt, San'er was strong and strong, and he went to the county town to do some odd jobs in the slack time, and his mother-in-law was also a good girl, making some wedding clothes and playthings for the young lady and wife of the rich family, earning some subsidies, and the family was thrifty and hard-working, and the original small life was not bad.

How could it be that the emperor's three major expeditions were first, so all kinds of burdens and forced labor from this continued to increase like monkeys in the sky, the land output could not cover the taxes, and the extra income of the family began to fill the holes, and the busy people even had to borrow usury to live every year, so the days became more and more embarrassing.

But it can't be helped, it's like this all over the world, stay up, what else can you do?

Fortunately, the father and his half-grown child went to the distant mountains to cut the fritters (also called jingtiao) This is a little effort not to capital, compiled into a frame basket, went to the city gate tax, went to various taxes can still be a melon and two dates, women and mothers also began to sew clothes for the county garment shops and large households day and night, and the three children are even more greedy and hard work, only to fall into the family not to die.

But even so, they began to eat the last meal and the next meal, and what made matters worse was that the year before last they barely managed to get together the grain and rice handed over and all kinds of fire consumption, and there was no overnight food at home at that time, but the fatal thing was that in November, an order from above came down to send these rice grains to the border army of the Great Wall by individuals.

How many miles from this rich county to the land of the nine sides? Eating and drinking all the way have to be equipped by themselves, this is to complete the imperial grain and national tax, and everyone is already surrounded by wild vegetables, where is there a surplus to eat on the way to transport grain?

This is a life, it is not possible not to go, the cool officials are like wolves and tigers glaring at it, or they are locked and taken into the county prison, the black and secluded prison is not a good place to go, every year I only see it in but not out, it is a man-eating tiger, and then it is okay not to go, then you have to pay the conversion money, that is the number of people who are scared to death, and it is even more direct This kind of family can not afford it.

Okay, we poor people are left with this stupid strength and a rotten life, so San'er pushed on the wheelbarrow, brought the rice grain handed in and the wild vegetables and dry food to be eaten along the way, and followed the brigade on the road.

Needless to say, there are thousands of hardships along the way, and what is even more fatal is that there are groups of bandits from all over the country, and the officials and masters are even more afraid of death, and few are willing to escort them back, and they have not walked a hundred miles, and a group of thieves come to attack, and the officials, soldiers and officials are fleeing from the wind, leaving these transport coolies to be slaughtered.

Fortunately, San'er had a big life, although he lost his grain and rice, he escaped back to his life, and many neighbors were not as lucky as him, and they were dragged up the mountain by the pole, and there was no news.

San'er ran all the way, before he arrived at home, but the county officials arrived at his house before him, like a wolf and a tiger, he must pay the lost taxes, grain and grass in accordance with the rules, no matter how much you beg, if you don't make up, or catch your father and go to prison or kidnap your mother-in-law to sell, there is no accommodation.

But my father was imprisoned, and there was no return, and my mother-in-law sold and sold the family, so I had no choice but to stomp my feet, and told the big family in the county to buy the only few acres of thin fields in the family, so that the family became destitute, and once again ventured to set off for escort, and slept in the open along the way, endured all the hardships, and fought with the pole along the way.

It's all about life, and if you rob me, you want the life of my family, so everyone is also red-eyed, and when they see a pole coming, they pick up the stick and stick and go forward desperately.

The pole is also composed of homeless people, and there are mostly old and weak women and children, and they are not as good as the physical strength of these strong men.

If you don't have a field, you can't do without taxes and servitude, because there is still land in your name, and all kinds of burdens are the same.

This year, the family is ready to lay a few ropes, and in the autumn, it is really impossible to say, and it is better for the family to be hanged than to separate the flesh and bones.

But I don't want to, this God doesn't let the poor live, a mutinous border army rushed to wash this small village again, fortunately, San'er is well-behaved, begging grandpa to tell grandma, the family has to save their lives, just mutiny, but the officials and soldiers came, this is even more miserable, the general officials with the officers and soldiers, the remaining straw mats are snatched away, and the third master is arrested, as a master, carrying materials, beaten and scolded, and is about to take the battlefield to charge, at this time, the sky is pitiful, the Black Tiger Army with the banner of the word is coming, and the official army has a fierce fight, The three sons and grandfathers also took advantage of the chaos to escape with their lives.

As for the situation of the thief retreating, then it can only be counted as one step at a time, and it is left to fate.

God favors San'er, he survived these wars, and this Black Tiger Star is also a benevolent and righteous teacher, not only does not kill people and set fires but also distributes the seized food to the people who are suffering, at that time San'er's family also got dozens of catties of food, but looking at this district can only live until the beginning of spring, maybe as soon as the Black Tiger Star army goes, the government will come to the door, and this little food must not be keptOh my God, what tempting conditions this is? Everyone is worried about whether they can survive this winter, San'er and his father discussed, and the family simply followed the benevolent king Black Tiger Star up the mountain, which is better than the endless oppression of the government.

So he cleaned up the little belongings in the family, and a wheelbarrow was loaded, the father pushed the wheelbarrow, the mother-in-law pulled the child, and the third child became a grass coward on his back like many villagers.

Cheng Caokou's idea is just that, firstly, this Black Tiger Star Renyi has also got a lot of grain and grass, and he will not starve to death immediately, and secondly, San'er still has good physical strength, and he should be able to be a minion on the cottage and take care of the family, as for when the cottage can be destroyed by the official army, or when San'er dies in which battle, that is arranged by God, but what they know is that if they don't go up the mountain, they will die soon, and they may be able to survive for some time if they go up the mountain.

However, the king of Chuang will be a teacher, and the momentum is strong, and they don't need to fight the bullies of the fortress, but they just carry grain and grass back and forth, which can be regarded as a little reassuring.

In this way, the family kept walking with the brigade, and by the way, they also transported some grain and grass for the cottage, and made a lot of effort, but San'er also found a problem, that is, on the side of the dependent homeless team and the team transporting materials, the war horses that kept running back and forth, those high-spirited minions were very kind, and none of them beat and scolded the people who couldn't walk or accidentally scattered the goods. Occasionally, a sick and frail homeless person would fall, and immediately a few sturdy mothers-in-law from the cottage would run over and help them to the side of the road.

Everyone thinks that this is to be dragged to the side of the road and discarded, or simply cut off, this is what the officers and soldiers or poles often do, everyone just silently numbly walked over, not to see the same people who are hard-working, see more, see more, human life is like grass mustard, maybe the next one is yourself? How did you say that? Sad too. (Support Genuine, Support Author, 17k)

But San'er noticed that some of the old and weak women and children who were helped to the side of the road cried and begged, saying that they were just tired and could walk after a rest, and some of them crawled numbly to the side of the road, stretched their necks and waited for the painful knife, in their opinion, death may be more relief than living like this.

But those healthy women not only did not call people to do it, but also kept comforting those people, which made people wonder. Immediately afterwards some healthy women took out some water from the backpack behind her, and some took out some bread to feed the people, which was a big surprise, but something more unexpected happened, probably that the situation was told to the above, and that there would not be minions on horseback shouting along the way; "Old and young masters, don't rest, hold on, now we have arranged a dining shed every twenty miles, and when we get there, our King Chuang will prepare the best white rice porridge and flatbread and pickles for everyone, work hard, you are not far from the hot porridge."

People banged and boiled the pot.

What the? Still have food waiting for everyone? There is rice porridge and flatbread, and the worst thing is that there are pickles? Oh my God, this pickle is so tempting, you have to know how many people in this group of homeless people have not eaten salty salt for months, and everyone is almost forgetting the salty taste.

A curious person craned his neck and asked; "This brother, did our king really set up a porridge shed in front of everyone? Is there really pickles to eat? ”

The minion on horseback said proudly; "Who dares to joke about King Chuang's orders, it is King Chuang's sympathy that everyone has not had good food for a long time, so it was decided, let's King Chuang and brother, I apologize to the big guy for not thinking well at the beginning. Let's go, work harder. By the way, the king of our cottage is not called the king of Chuang, and the general of Guo Tianxing is called the commander, and Mr. Chen Ce, who will be in charge of your civil affairs in the future, will be called the governor, don't treat it the same as other pickled grass coars. With that, a dozen horses shouted forward.

It's really different, not only is the king not called the king the commander, but there are people who are sympathetic to the people and are good at the king, and everyone can't understand whether it is the king or the commander.

San'er's already hungry footsteps floated, and it was even more difficult to carry the old lady on his back, and then look at the father is also shaking his legs, not to mention the mother-in-law, a bowl of cold water in the morning, long gone, everyone insisted on it in one breath, and suddenly heard the news, and immediately came to the spirit, and everyone else, one by one accelerated the pace.

It's really as the horse riding minion said, turn around the foot of the mountain, you see a leeward hillside under the dozens of cauldrons, next to the cauldron is a busy crowd, under the cauldron is a red fire, in the cauldron is the open fragrant white rice porridge, in another place, is a high steamer, the steaming steamer is constantly opened, there is a snow-white steamed bun was picked out, piled into the basket waiting to be distributed to everyone, the fragrance of rice and the fragrance of steamed bread far away hooked away everyone's soul.

San'er didn't care much, put down the old lady and rushed over, and rushed directly to the porridge shed, but was immediately pulled by a minion

At that time, the three children were scared.
