Chapter 078: Missing
The arrow shot by Zhang Dingbian turned into a black shadow and flew across the lake towards Lao Zhu's boat. More than a dozen pro-soldiers on the boat directly pressed Lao Zhu to it, and the sharp arrow shot directly into the chest of a pro-soldier, piercing out of the back, and a cobble-egg-thick blood hole was opened in the chest of the pro-soldier, and the blood was mixed with broken internal organs, gushing out.
"Let's go!" Lao Zhu hurriedly ordered to flee.
"Hurry up and chase Lao Tzu!" Zhang Dingbian took out another finger-thick arrow, and at such a long distance, only his old Zhang had the ability to shoot.
"Captain, be careful!" The soldier next to him shouted, holding an iron shield at his side. Boom! An arrow was forced to open a hole in the shield, castration did not decrease, and shot directly on the back shoulder blade of Zhang Dingbian, submerged a few inches, and the fine armor did not play a role at all.
He believed that if it hadn't been for his own soldiers using their shields, the arrow would have pierced his neck. Zhang Dingbian turned his head and saw a few clippers leaning behind him, the burly figure standing with a bow on the bow of the boat, and he could guess who it was with his toes.
He didn't care, "Hurry up and chase Zhu Thief for me!" As soon as the words fell, he heard a burst of fried beans behind him, Zhang Dingbian couldn't help but have a headache, this was the most annoying sound when he attacked Hongdu, and sure enough, the Han sergeant and sailor on the boat screamed and fell into the lake.
"Captain! Let's go! Enemy reinforcements are coming, and the green mountains are not afraid of running out of firewood. ”
Zhang Ding looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was fleeing farther and farther, and then at Chang Yuchun, who was chasing closer and closer, as well as the constant explosion in his ears, as well as the severe pain in his shoulder, and said hatefully: "Go!" ”
His ship immediately turned a corner, joined up with another ship, and quickly fled.
Chang Yuchun shouted loudly: "Wen Ying, don't chase it, it's important to protect the country!" “
"Humph! Bastard, you're running pretty fast! Zhu Wenying scolded hatefully, and after meeting with Chang Yuchun, he bypassed the shallows to pick up Zhu Yuanzhang.
The two boats approached Zhu Wenying and boarded up, and took Lao Zhu to the boat, "The child is late for rescue, and I ask my father to punish him, hey, what about my uncle?" ”
Lao Zhu kicked him, "Don't talk nonsense, go over there and look for him, I don't know if he's alive." “
Zhu Wenying was startled, and immediately took the boat to the vicinity of the place where Ma Du had an accident, only to see the water splashing here, faintly with bloodstains, but there was no shadow of a person.
"Go down and find it!" As soon as Lao Zhu finished speaking, he saw a person suddenly come out of the water, only to see that his face was covered with mud, and his shoulders were blurred with flesh and blood.
"It's Han Cheng! Pull him up! "At that moment, a soldier went into the water and sent Han Cheng to the boat.
Zhu Wenying split his head and covered his face and asked: "Han Cheng, uncle!" ”
Han Cheng shook his head, "I didn't find it, it's only this!" As he spoke, he handed over the thing in his hand, it was Ma Du's pistol, and it was obvious that Han Cheng had been touching it underwater for a long time.
Zhu Wenying ordered the soldiers on the ship: "Go into the water, find me!" He couldn't even take off his armor, and jumped straight into the water with red eyes......
The results were disappointing, and hundreds of people found it around and it was dark and did not find a single hair of Mado. Zhu Wenying, who was almost exhausted and paralyzed, was sent to Lao Zhu's new ship. He sat on the deck decadently, and said weakly: "Father and child still haven't found uncle...... look blank, and his eyes are full of sadness.
Lao Zhu handed him a bowl of hot soup, sighed and said, "Don't look for it, maybe he's gone, just like when he came." “
Zhu Wenying laughed, "Father, don't comfort me. He said that he is not a god, he is a human being, he wants to drink water when he is thirsty, he wants to eat when he is hungry, he wants to sleep when he is sleepy, he will also bleed and get sick, and he will also ...... Die! ”
He raised his head and looked at Lao Zhu, "Father, do you know?" Whether he was my mother's half-brother or not, he was my friend. ”
Lao Zhu saw the helpless and stubborn child in front of the city gate of Haozhou in a trance, and reached out to touch his wet hair, "I know, I know, you don't look like a nephew in front of him, of course he is your friend." Isn't it that his body has not been found, then it is possible that he is still alive. He is not an ordinary person, naturally he has skills that we don't know, and he will not die so easily. ”
"What my father said is that people like him don't die easily." Zhu Wenying picked up the hot soup and drank it cleanly.
Lao Zhu said: "Rest early!" Sleep with me today! If there is no war tomorrow, we will continue to look for it. ”
When Zhu Wenying went to the inner room, Han Cheng whispered to Lao Zhu: "The subordinates think that Ma Dushi may have been dragged away under Zhang Dingbian's boat." ”
Lao Zhu nodded, "It can only be like this." Tomorrow let the scouts follow the route of Zhang Dingbian's escape. The herald ordered the inspector who was placed there to investigate, to see people alive and corpses to death. ”
He sighed inexplicably, as if he thought it was unlikely that Madu would be alive. How long can a person last under the water in one breath?
Zhu Wenying was lying on the barn, he reached out and stroked the huge rucksack in front of him, tears flowed down his face, and he muttered: "I hope they will never find your body!" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first half of the old loach's life was happy, at that time he had more than 20 acres of good paddy fields, married the most beautiful mother-in-law in ten miles and eight towns, and gave birth to two sons in a row, and no one did not envy him.
Although the taxes were very heavy (Note 1), he could always get by with a few bites, and he worked hard for half his life, watching the two wives and have children, and the old loach thought that he would be happy until he died.
But when a man sits at home, disaster falls from heaven. Just because the little daughter-in-law sat at the door to nurse the child, the tax collector became lustful, and he wanted to do evil in broad daylight, and the youngest son who came up to block was beaten to death with a stick, and the humiliated daughter-in-law also did a short look.
Seeing the old loach who greeted everyone politely and with a smile, he finally got angry, he wanted to sue the official! spent a lot of money to find someone to write the report, but as soon as it was handed over, an errand came from the county government and arrested his eldest son, saying that he was a water bandit.
The old loach panicked all of a sudden, since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and regretted that they should not have listened to the persuasion at the beginning, and they could not take the eldest son with him. He hurriedly sold the land, but the eldest son, who suffered a lot in the cell, contracted the epidemic and died within a few days of returning home, and the eldest daughter-in-law could not keep it, so he ran back to his parents' house.
The originally happy family is only left with the old couple and their children and grandchildren waiting to be fed. The old loach in anger asked the officials who killed him to kill him in the name of giving gifts to take revenge, and then the old couple took their young grandchildren and fell grass on Poyang Lake!
Note 1 Regarding the taxes of the Yuan Dynasty, the taxes of the Yuan Dynasty were not very high, but they were contracted. The common people were vigorously looted, but rats could starve to death in the treasury of the Yuan Court.
The Yuan Dynasty had a loose political system, with poor central control and restraint over the local governments, and its policies were simple and crude. The aristocracy, officials, and landlords are the main body that exploits the people.
Although the national contradictions are acute, they are not the main cause of its demise, but should be natural disasters and various epidemic diseases. Personal opinion.
