Chapter Eighty-Seven: Like a Dream Today's Life
Zhu Da gulped fast food rice bowls and drank carbonated drinks, these meals have no health at all, a lot of oil, a lot of salt and seasonings, and a lot of sugar, eating these will make you fat, cause high blood lipids and high blood pressure, and lack of calcium.
But Zhu Da felt that these were supreme delicacy, when he was in Baibao Village, the family was reluctant to put salt, not to mention oil, as for the sweetness, it can only be found in wild fruits and honey.
After eating what was in front of him, Zhu Da also thought about buying some biscuits and fried chicken, which he always felt was harmful to his body before, but now he didn't think about it at all. He went to the bathroom to wash his hands briefly, and then prepared to take a shower, Zhu Da never thought that using a hot shower was also such a enjoyable thing,
Refreshed after washing, Zhu Da was ready to collapse on the bed and play games, trying not to miss it at that time, but computer games were much more fun than catching fish and practicing martial arts by the river.
The computer seems to have some glitches and can't be opened, and Juda can't wait to smash it, and won't let him play the game when his girlfriend comes back.
When he was anxious, he heard the door lock being opened outside, and a beautiful beauty walked in, and when she saw Zhu Da fiddling with the computer, she immediately had a strange expression on her face.
"Why are you playing this ...... again?"
"I'm ......" Zhu Da turned his head and explained, but when he saw his "girlfriend", he felt that something was wrong, isn't this woman an idol star? How is it your own girlfriend?
Realizing this, Zhu Da felt that something was wrong in a trance, whether it was the rented room, the fast food ingredients he had eaten and drunk just now, or the electrical appliances and girlfriend in front of him, all of them became vain.
Zhu Da recalls the time when he went out backpacking, the modern villages he originally saw, the electric wires and roads that can be seen everywhere in the mountains and plains have become dilapidated and rustic villages, and when he exercised with others, there would be gyms and venues, wooden stakes and stone locks, and then he would go back to school and welfare homes, those times of hard work and bravery, and loneliness and cruelty engraved in the bone marrow.
"Child, you have a father, how can you be cranky, saying that you don't have a father, what flies in the sky, what is on the ground, you have a fever and talk nonsense, child, don't scare your mother, your mother will ask yourself a Taoist priest to dispel evil spirits."
"Our life is not good, it would be good to live in peace, we will divide the land in this life, burn incense and chant Buddha, do more good deeds, and we will be able to vote for a good family in the next life, then the general flag uncle and the lords and lords above, they are all good deeds that have been done for generations......" Zhu Da was sitting on the ridge dejectedly, feeling that when would such a day be the end, his emaciated father was persuading.
But when is this day the end, I remember that I have another life, although there is no father and no mother in that life, but I have never worried about my livelihood, as long as I work hard, there will be a reward, although there are such and such unfairness, even if it is very little, it is much richer than now.
Now this kind of buried head farming, tired and tired every day, there will not be too much harvest in the field, the accustomed mu yield of 1,000 catties is completely impossible at this time, and the desperate harvest of food can not be eaten by themselves, most of the head has been taken away by the old man, think about how much hard work is spent on weekdays, but hunger has become the norm all year round, eat above, not to mention oil and salt, fine grains are rare.
What's the point of living like this? Zhu Da, who has become an adult, is discouraged from time to time and wants to leave the village, but there is nowhere to go, there is not enough coiling and dry food to go anywhere, not to mention that bandits are rampant outside, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life, and it is not only the bandits who will die, the officers and soldiers are also tigers and wolves, even if they seem to be honest villagers, they will kill them for money under certain circumstances, and it is said that there is an even worse end, they were tied up and sold to the grassland, and they were slaved to the Mongols, which was really a lifetime of cattle and horses, and they would be chopped up and fed to dogs when they died, There are even some that have been chopped up before they die.
Zhu Da's parents have never known why their children are complaining, their family's situation is better than many families in the village, at least they will not be hungry, as long as there is no illness and no disaster, it is not difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, everyone is like this, they have never had a good time since they were young, why do they complain every day.
In a trance, Zhu Da always felt that he had a choice, the hunter in the village, Zhou Qingyun, left here after the death of the old man, some people said that he went to the border pass to join the army, and some people said that he went to Datong to wander around, if he could learn martial arts from the old man, would he not be chained to the field, would he be able to live more freely.
In such hardship and despair, Zhu Da thought of death several times, indeed, his peers around him are living like this, and even living worse than him, but Zhu Da knows that he has a better life, and he can even make other choices, with these factors, he can't be reconciled.
It's just that it's not easy to make a decision, thinking about his parents who worked hard to raise him, Zhu Da can only endure it, but his temper is becoming more and more uncontrollable.
In a trance, the north side was full of flames, but it was no longer meaningful to warn, because a large force of Mongolian cavalry had broken in, along the official road to the south to wash and plunder, when he saw the smoke and dust in the north, it was too late to escape, Zhu Da wanted to escape with his parents, wife and children, but knew that he could not escape the cavalry on the flat ground, and wanted to enter the mountain, but how could his wife and children's parents keep up, and he had no choice but to make the worst choice and hid in the cellar of his home.
The large army fought across the border, often did not spend too much effort on looting, and would only do it on the return journey, but most of the Mongols broke through the pass to plunder.
This kind of thing happened in the autumn and winter of many years, the people of the Ming Dynasty have the experience of evading and hiding from generation to generation, and the Mongolian cavalry also has the experience of searching and looting from generation to generation.
For a poor village like Baibao Village, the Mongol cavalry did not expect to make too much money, to feed the horses and horses, and then get some goods, the most important thing was to be happy, and the commanders and centurions relied on this to maintain their morale, after all, deep into the enemy territory, there was no stimulation and no one worked hard.
The people of Baibao Village should have hidden, and the restless Juda comforted the restless child, feeling the ground shake in the silence.
The child was already crying in fright, and Juda covered the child's mouth, and he could hear the Mongolian scolding, laughing, and even footsteps.
It didn't take long for Juda to let go of his hand, because the fire began to be set outside, and breathing became more and more difficult in the already poorly ventilated cellar, and the massacre of civilians was also an irritation for the Mongol cavalry.
The family began to cough and wanted to get out of the cellar, but they heard the laughter and screams outside, and wanted to continue to endure it, and tried to be lucky that they could always avoid it, but this luck and hesitation were fatal.
"Strangle the child, save ...... sin"
Father Zhu Shishi struggled to say something, Zhu Da looked at his son who was in great pain, only to feel that his chest was being stabbed in and out by a knife, he felt that he was going to suffocate, and raised his hand with blurred tears......
It seems that after a long time, it seems to be another instant, Zhu Da found himself in the dark, he realized in a daze, he had been in the dark for a long time, and also realized that "wife and children" did not exist, but the heart-rending pain clearly remembered, Zhu Da was ignorant and thought of his father and mother, which is more important in those years of material enjoyment and information age, and these years of poor life of parents and family?
Usually he doesn't think about this question at all, but at this time in a state of trance and ignorance, he actually thought about it, and when he thought about it, there were countless memories of the picture, Zhu Da seemed to be a bystander, and like a witness, in the experience, in the memory, since the birth of the parents' loving care and upbringing, until these recent days.
Juda finally woke up a little, and he suddenly realized that this was a dream? Or is it an illusion? For him, who has experienced two lives, many things cannot be treated with common sense.
"Xiaoda!" "Juda!" "Son!"
The sound seemed to sound far away, and then it became louder and louder, like thunder, at this time, Zhu Da was completely awake, he realized that he was injured and unconscious, he realized the pain in his body, he realized that he was tired and weak, but this complete darkness made Zhu Da extremely frightened, he desperately wanted to open his eyes, a gap appeared in the darkness, and the light shone through this gap.
"Wake up, wake up!"
"Go and call Lang Zhong!"
"Be quiet, don't alarm him."
"child, don't cry first, don't cry first, Xiaoda can't see you crying the most!"
There were surprises, panic, and complaints, Zhu Da recognized the voices of several people, and the movement that did not speak but was relieved.
Zhu Da first saw the bed tent, and then there were surprised and inexplicable faces, there were tears on his face, or tears, Zhu Da wanted to turn his head, but such a small action was extremely difficult, and even made the whole body feel severe pain.
"Child, don't move yet, rest well, Lang Zhong said that you can take care of it if you rest well."
The head is a little off, and I can see the people on the other side, there are fathers and mothers, masters, Qin Xiucai, Zhou Qingyun, and Qin Qin with an impatient face in the corner, and there are footsteps outside.
Zhu Da saw that his parents' faces were full of ecstasy, but his mother couldn't stop wiping her tears, she couldn't control her emotions when she cried with joy, and her father wanted to say something, but the first word was crying, and he couldn't say anything, and tears flowed across his face, and he wiped them there.
Over there, Zhou Qingyun obviously wanted to pounce, but he was grabbed by Xiang Bo, and scolded a few words, Xiang Bo's face was full of relief and relaxation, Qin Xiucai's eyes who were standing on the side seemed to be shining, Qin Chuan's expression was very stiff, it seemed to be very tight, and there was no joy and relief like others.
Zhu Da wanted to speak, but the strength of his whole body seemed to be exhausted in the turn just now, and he couldn't do any other movements, although he heard the doctor's judgment from his relatives, but at this moment he was still in great fear
