33. Forced to go to Liangshan

Soon after the two of them left, the villagers again organized men and horses to meet the two of them, but when they arrived at the bandits' den, no one dared to come forward, and finally they had the courage to go to the main gate, and found them both lying on the ground unconscious.

When the bearded man saw the villagers coming, he said to them, "Come and get the people, and bring them all back." So the villagers hurried in, Mingcheng's mother wrapped the newborn child in a cotton quilt, let people hold it, and sat on the bamboo sedan chair and was carried back by everyone.

Sangou Dad and Ming Cheng's Dad were also taken home by everyone's hands, and they asked Lang Zhong to massage and treat them overnight, grabbed the medicine and boiled the medicine and poured it down, Mingcheng Dad lay at home for half a month, and the three dog dads lay down for nearly a month before slowly recovering his body.

Pan Bearded stood outside the gate, letting the mountain wind blow his beard, looking at the crowd gradually moving away, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Jing Hui didn't look at him again until he left just now, and he probably won't have a chance to tell Jing Hui about what happened three years ago, looking at it like this, it doesn't matter if he says it or not.

Three years ago, after the Mid-Autumn Festival four years ago, Pan Shengda discussed with his family and stopped fishing; It stands to reason that fishing is actually good, and if you do it well, you can also make a fortune.

At that time, the fishing industry had a tax burden of gold and taxation, including fishing tax, boat donation, lake tax and its variant tax, as well as river tax, wharf rent and forced labor, etc., which basically stripped the fishermen of everything, and only had some rations to support their families.

Shengda found a childhood friend to row a boat to run the dock together, and at the wharf of Hekou Town in Lead Mountain, he got acquainted with a group of people who carried the wharf (picking the wharf), that is, picking things for people on the wharf, all of which made some money.

In addition to transporting goods, Shengda also picks with them, collects wages according to the number of labor pieces, and earns more money by moving one more piece.

It is not easy for the people at the bottom to come out to make money, so naturally everyone is like-minded, and often gets together to drink a little wine and talk about small things; But just before the Dragon Boat Festival, an incident happened that changed everyone's fate.

A worker had a little cold and a low-grade fever in those days, and it should have been a two-day rest, but the rain was sufficient during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the water level on the river was high, so the guests took advantage of the transfer of more goods.

The foreman who contracted to pick up the goods at the wharf urged the sick worker to work, and the sick man did heavy work, so naturally his hands and feet could not get up, but the foreman urged several times, and even launched a ruthless attack and whipped the worker.

On weekdays, the foreman relied on the relationship with the dock government, and from time to time deducted everyone's wages, but now, calling people as animals, everyone can't look at it, Shengda is young and vigorous, so he stepped forward and grabbed the foreman's whip and looked at each other angrily.

Oh, you're going to do the opposite, the foreman slapped him over, Shengda quickly turned his head to dodge, and he couldn't beat you, so the foreman shouted, calling out a few thugs who protected the dock to come out and beat people.

Seeing that their own people were about to be beaten, these gang of pier pickers had no choice but to resist, threw the goods on their shoulders one by one, pulled out the log flat poles that carried the burden, and surrounded them.

But as soon as you really get started, you know that something is wrong, although this world is hard, only fast is not broken, but there is still one thing that is not said, in front of the weight level, no matter how fast it is, it is useless.

For example, if you have fast hands and feet, if you meet a heavyweight boxer like Tyson, people just let you punch a few times faster, nothing happens, if you are punched, the force, even if you can't stop it, the hand that comes from the hand is broken, and the leg that is blocked by the leg is broken.

In this way, as soon as the two sides started fighting, the porters immediately gained the upper hand, and they were already living a suffocating life, and they were bullied by these lackeys every day.

It doesn't matter if this fight, after all, the porters are only strong, and they have rarely fought before, and these people who have never fought don't know the weight of their hands and feet, and in a few clicks, they killed two or three of these thugs.

This is terrible, on weekdays, the people at the bottom fight and have some blood, and the government is unwilling to pay attention to it, annoying and there is nothing to make money, but this dead person, the matter is big, and the government must come forward.

After these porters calmed down, everyone was not a fool, they quickly dispersed as birds and beasts, ran away, and if they were slower, they would be arrested, this dead person, although it is not clear who killed him, but he was caught, he must be blamed, and it is a matter of course to borrow someone to repay his debts and kill people to pay for his life.

So, Shengda also had to escape, and he couldn't even ask for the boat, but fortunately, the little friend who came out with him did not participate in the fight and guarded the boat.

Hiding in Tibet like this, Shengda didn't dare to come out for a long time, so he could only wait for the limelight to say, I heard from my partner that the government had been eyeing Shengda, and sent someone to secretly go to his hometown Guangfeng Shuinan to touch people, but fortunately he didn't escape home.

This day, it's really not a human life, it's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, Shengda naturally knows the agreement with Jinghui, and also received a message from Jinghui, Jinghui's mother agreed, if this is usual, how happy it should be, and he will definitely go back to his hometown to propose his relatives immediately.

But now, a guilty person who is hiding in Tibet is still worthy of such a good thing, not to mention that he will be arrested as soon as he goes back, and it would be so sad if Jinghui knew that he was a criminal. It doesn't matter if he has no face to see people, he implicates Jinghui, which is the last thing Shengda wants to see.

I am a person with no tomorrow, and Jinghui is so beautiful and lovely, I can't involve her, I can't be so selfish; What's more, I am not worthy of Jinghui at all now.

Calm down, think about it for several nights, and finally decide, reluctantly took out the paper fan sent by Jinghui, gave it to a fellow who was going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and asked him to tell Xiu'e, saying that he was developed outside and would not go home.

After this somewhat careless fellow went home, he was in a hurry to reunite with his family for the holiday, and almost forgot about it, but he remembered it the next day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and hurriedly found someone to find Xiu'e and did it, which led to the scene of Jinghui back then.

Hearing that Jinghui was going to get married at the end of the year, Shengda secretly went back to his hometown and didn't dare to go home, so he hid in this corner and watched Jinghui wearing a wedding dress, sitting in a sedan chair, and leaving with firecrackers, gongs and drums all the way.
