Chapter 35: Encountering Robbers on the Road
This young man is none other than Liu Zhang, the five big and three rough people are the tiger idiot Xu Chu, the handsome person is Xun Gongda, and in the carriage is Xu Huang and Xu Gongming. A carriage in the back pulled the Dian Wei family. When the group left Yingyin, considering the inconvenience of Dian Wei's wife and children, Liu Zhang specially purchased two carriages to facilitate everyone's travel. At this time, it seems that in the face of a bumpy and difficult road, it seems that it is a bit clever to change to a horse-drawn carriage.
Liu Zhang sat back in the carriage and said to Xun You: "Gongda knows what is the place in front?" ”
Xun You said: "There are twenty or thirty miles, and it should be in Wuyin County!" ”
Liu Zhang smiled: "Oh, that's good, let's go to Wuyin County to repair it, and start again tomorrow!" ”
Along the way, everyone felt very tired, and naturally there was no doubt.
Walking out of four or five miles, hundreds of bandits holding sticks, poorly clothed, and skinny suddenly jumped out of the small mounds several feet high on both sides of the official road. If they are not afraid of being robbed by others, they will burn high incense, of course, they don't seem to have anything to rob.
These people surrounded the two carriages, their eyes did not look at Xu Chu and Dian Wei who were driving, nor did they care about Liu Zhang and others who walked out of the carriage, they looked directly at the horses driving, the meaning was very clear, this is food, it is meat! Simmer in a pot and you won't starve to death today! Xu Chu and Xu Huang jumped out of the carriage with their weapons, and Dian Wei took out an iron halberd from the carriage to protect the carriage, and for a while he looked a little nervous. But Liu Zhang and the others did not have the slightest fear, these people can blow down a large area with a gust of wind, and they still learn from others to rob the way? I'm hungry!
Liu Zhang pondered: "Stew? Then they have to have a pot, look at their appearance, let alone a pot, I'm afraid they can't even take out a broken crockpot. He quickly understood from the eyes of the victims that sometimes meat could be eaten raw!
A young man with a little better physical strength held a broken knife (it was the only metal weapon in the hands of this group, probably picked up from a battlefield) weakly slashed in the air, and said weakly: "Leave the horse ...... driving"
A man who was already hungry immediately said, "Brother Zhao, there are still four horses tied to the carriage behind!" ”
The man who was called Brother Zhao said: "Well, leave all the horses behind, we won't embarrass you!" ”
Xu Chu looked at the big knife in his hand, shook his head and put the knife back in the car, then looked at his fist, shook his head again, and said secretly: "Even if you use your fist, these people will be seriously injured if they don't die if they rub a little fist, it's really tangled, I don't want to hurt these people!" ”
Xu Chu's move of abandoning the knife seemed to the victims to give up resistance, and they all surrounded him with great joy.
"......Slow down," Liu Zhang suddenly shouted.
This energetic voice immediately shook everyone, and they couldn't help but stop.
Brother Zhao said, "What's wrong?" I advise you not to fight fearlessly, for all of my hundreds of brothers have crawled out of the pile of the dead, and they have killed people as if they were playing, and not to give their lives in vain. He was right, they all crawled out of the pile of dead people, but those dead people were their families, and they were not killed by them, all of them died of hunger, cold, and disease.
Liu Zhang said: "There is no problem with giving you horses, but the horses are all given to you, what should we do with this car?" ”
Brother Zhao looked at Liu Zhang and his party, then at his partner, and said with some hesitation: "Or, you leave the four horses behind, and we don't want the car?" ”
When someone objected: "No, Brother Zhao, there are so many of us, six horses are enough to eat for a few days?" If you give them back two more...... We will soon all follow in the footsteps of our loved ones! ”
"Yes, I can't give it, I don't look at what they are dressed like ordinary people, most of them are officials, there is no good person who has been an official these years, we have suffered from their exploitation for generations, and we have watched our relatives leave us one by one over the years, these accounts are all owed to us, and today we will count them together!"
"Yes, in my opinion, slaughter them all and eat them, and let them pay for the taste of being knocked out of the bone and sucking the marrow......," said a man with his scorched teeth.
Looking at the man's skinny face and the words that came out of his mouth, although the red sun was empty, Liu Zhang and the others all felt a chill to the bones.
Brother Zhao said: "No, we have no grievances with them, how can we harm people's lives?" ”
"Brother Zhao, you are too pedantic, these rich people are ruthless people, we can't get by, isn't it because they created it? One report and one report, God won't blame us! "The humanity that claimed to slaughter Liu Zhang and others and eat them.
Dian Wei suddenly danced the halberd in his hand, and the smoke was all over the sky in the howling wind, and the sound was mighty.
The hearts of the victims were frightened and retreated.
Or the guy who claimed to be eating human flesh stopped and said, "What are you afraid of?" Anyway, I can't live anymore, and I have a good time being killed by them, so as not to suffer this endless suffering! If you can't kill us, we can still survive! ”
The victims of the disaster thought about it, yes, this is the reason, it was the barefoot who were not afraid to wear shoes, and they all surrounded one by one.
Seeing that he was about to make a move, Brother Zhao hurriedly said: "You guys go quickly, we won't embarrass you, leave the horses behind, you have also seen it, we really can't live......"
Liu Zhang sighed and said, "Gongming, how much food is there in the car?" ”
Xu Huang said: "Hui Gongzi, we don't have much food with us, and there is not much at the moment, far from enough for them to share." ”
"Take it all out!" Liu Zhang said.
"Yes, Childe!" Xu Huang jumped into the carriage and lifted the grain bag down, looking at the shriveled grain bag, there were only twenty or thirty catties of grain in it at most.
Dian Wei's wife was very kind, and whispered to Dian Wei to give all her pickled jerky.
Liu Zhang said: "Everyone, we don't have much food to bring, it's all here, and it's all sent to everyone!" Looking at the raven and crow's victims, he knew that this bit of food was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, and sighed: "The two horses of the cart have also been given to everyone!" ”
Xun You looked at Liu Zhang, and when he saw that he nodded at himself, Xun You immediately took out a bag of gold and silver from the car and put it together with the grain.
Liu Zhang said: "Brother Zhao, I think you are also a scholar, these grains and a little money will be handed over to you to share with everyone!" ”
When Brother Zhao heard this, two tears immediately welled up in his eyes, and he knelt on the ground with a "tom": "Thank you, thank you, in the next generation, everyone will thank Gongzi for his help, thank you, ......" After saying that, kowtow more than once.
All the victims also threw down their sticks and knelt on the ground, thanking and kowtowing, they have suffered too much coldness, indifference, and exploitation over the years, and they have been disappointed in people's hearts. This is the first and only time, finally someone is willing to lend a hand to them, although this money, food can not let them live without worry, but it gives them the courage to live, they have no way to express their touch, gratitude, so they have to kneel on the ground. The person who claimed to eat human flesh even kowtowed, scolded himself for not being human, and begged Liu Zhang for their forgiveness.
