Chapter Eighty-Six: If You Don't Go Into the Mountains and Wilderness, You Don't Know the Sufferings of the People!

Since ancient times, the people have suffered!

If it weren't for the fact that they really couldn't survive, how could the peasants in the feudal era rebel? Take a peek and see the whole leopard! Even the tenant farmers around Jinyang, the seat of the state administration, are like this! Not to mention other places.

The old man was very old, his face was furrowed, and his hand holding the wooden crutch could not even stretch his fingers straight, and the bare skin was so shriveled and wrinkled. The deep, sunken eye sockets are the result of malnutrition at a glance. In the era of peace, the old man has reached the age of the sixtieth year, I am afraid that the state will have a lot of subsidies! But these are troubled times! At the end of the Han Dynasty, where did anyone care about the life or death of an old man in the age of a sixtieth year?

"If you don't go into the mountains and wilderness, how can you know the suffering of the people?"

Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Li Ru Jia Xu and the others behind him, "From now on, all the county officials under my rule must experience the suffering of the people before they have a way to govern the land!" In the past, the Shang monarch entered Qin, visited Qin all over the country, and knew a lot about the national conditions of Qin, so that there was a way to strengthen the country and enrich the people! Even Shang Jun is so talented, he needs to experience the suffering of the people, let alone us? ”

"No!"

Everyone answered.

Now in the eyes of everyone, there is no one of Lu Bu's laws that has not been implemented! Lu Bu's words were not out of a moment's whim! It's like the military law under Lu Bu in the army when he was in Wen County, and no one in the army dares to violate it so far!

The old man's surname is Niu, and his single name is Zhong, without a word.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, some of the common people didn't even have names, let alone words? Even the middle character of Niu Laoweng's name was obtained because he was the second oldest in the family. This kind of name, in this day and age, grabs a whole bunch of ......

If a family has three sons, they can also be called Meng, Zhong, and Ji respectively. That is, the eldest and second and third in later generations...... Niu Lao Weng is named Zhong, the second oldest in the family, and it is estimated that he may be called Niu Er in later generations.

Lu Bu learned that Niu Zhong's three sons are now the only one left, Niu Meng! And he also lives with the boss. Niu Zhong's wife also died early, and there is a family of four, in addition to him, there are also his sons, daughters-in-law and grandsons, and a family of three.

talked with Niu Zhong a lot, and finally, at Lu Bu's request, Niu Zhong took Lu Bu and the others back home. Niu Zhong's home is a simple thatched house, very dilapidated, and those who don't know think it's a cowshed! Seeing this, Lu Bu called Dian Wei to carry a few stones of grain and gave it to Niu Zhong!

"Lord Governor, this ...... Old ......"

Niu Zhong pulled his daughter-in-law and grandson and hurriedly bowed to Lu Bu! I was so excited that I couldn't speak! Lu Bu helped him up and said solemnly, "Uncle, you have no food to eat, it's the fault of our officials!" Now that I am the pastor of Bingzhou, I will never let the villagers of Bingzhou have no food to fill their stomachs and no clothes to keep out the cold! ”

"The grace of the state pastor is unrewarding! I wish the Governor could stay here forever and ......"

Niu Zhong cried and prayed.

But Dian Wei on the side grinned, "Uncle, if you really want to repay my lord, then why don't you let that man in your family join the army!" The salary in our army is not low! In this world, there is no one who is as good to a soldier as my lord...... It's like farming for those rich people here......"

Dian Wei's sentence suddenly made Niu Zhong embarrassed.

It's not that he is not grateful to Lu Bu, but in this era, the danger of joining the army is too great! His two sons all died on the battlefield, but in the end they got nothing! Now that he has only one son in his family, how can he be willing to let him join the army again?

But the kid behind Niu Zhong stared at the armor on Dian Wei's body with envious eyes, sucked his fingers in his mouth, and looked at it. His mother, a very ordinary-looking woman, held him tightly in her arms and buried her head low! Because of malnutrition, his face was yellow and thin, and he knelt behind Niu Zhong and didn't say a word.

"Get up!"

Lu Bucha looked at his words, but didn't he know Niu Zhong's embarrassment! After helping the woman and the child up, and instructing Dian Wei to put a few stones of grain into his house, he wanted to leave.

But at this moment, a hundred steps away, there were wails......

A brute man in a short coat rushed over, but when he first arrived at Niu Zhong's house, he was stunned.

Where did the soldiers come from?

So many people!

No matter how clumsy the barbarian is, he knows that Lu Bu and these people are not ordinary people! Especially Li Ru, Jia Xu, Zhang Yang and others are wearing brocade robes with gorgeous colors! This is what only the "nobles" can afford! They are untouchables, and they can only look up to existence!

The left and right guards stopped the barbarian, but was signaled by Lu Bu to retreat, and the barbarian approached Lu Bu and trembled.

"Who are you?"

Lu Bu was about to open his mouth to ask, but Niu Zhong opened his mouth first. "Ma Hei, why are you back? Where's my Dameng? Why didn't he come back? ”

The barbarian man galloped all the way, and he was still a little sweaty, and he was frightened by Lu Bu and these people, and forgot about the urgent matter! But now that Niu Zhong said this, he remembered it again, and tears flowed down his eyes, "Uncle Niu, Da Meng, he ......"

"What's wrong with him?"

Ma Zhong's face was anxious.

He vaguely felt something! The wailing sound from afar made his heart suddenly tighten! Seeing Ma Hei's words in front of me, I only felt extremely flustered in my heart!

He ...... He ......"

The barbarian didn't care about Lu Bu and the others, he just knelt down and looked up to the sky and cried, "He is dead...... ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem! How could it be...... How to ......"

Niu Zhong stumbled and almost didn't fall! Thanks to Lu Bu's quick support, Niu Zhong only felt that his brain was blank, and his dry and chapped lips muttered slightly, "No...... How so...... Da Meng: When he went out...... Okay... Good ......! ”

"It's true...!"

Ma Hei sobbed, "I went to the city with Da Meng and them to ask the Zhang family for food, but the Zhang family ...... He ......"

It's intermittent, and Ma Hei didn't make it clear! And the howls of the hundred-pace-away ones grew louder and louder......

"Daddy......"

Everyone seemed to have expected the result, that is, the teenage child in Niu Meng's daughter-in-law's arms knew something, and desperately broke free from her mother's arms! But the woman had tears in her eyes and clung to the child!

But for some reason, the child's strength is very great! So much so that they all broke free from their mother's arms and ran quickly into the distance, "Daddy......"

"Evil comes! Hold the child! ”

Lu Bu shouted.

Dian Wei had already stepped forward, his broad palm hugged the child tightly, and he grinned, "It's not a lot of strength...... It's better not to move......"

The child is under the restraint of Dian Wei, and he can't move at all! In the eyes of the children, Lu Bu and Niu Zhong, as well as Niu Zhong's wife, had already rushed forward...
