Chapter 5 Vitality

Won had a dream.

In the dream, he returned to Rotten Peach Village. Father, mother, brother, the whole family gathered.

My father was still unsmiling, holding a teacup in his hand and sitting on a chair in the hall. The mother sat beside her father, doing her needlework and nagging to herself. The younger brother obediently practiced calligraphy under the lamp. I'm standing on the sidelines, not knowing what to do.

"Brother Han, wake up."

The voice of the second tiger pulls the won from the sweet dream back to reality. Only then did Han Yuan remember that everything in Fang Cai was illusory, and his heart suddenly felt sour.

"Eat, eat." Several jailers shouted as they carried two buckets of swill into the cell.

Han Won and his party were detained in two prisons, and Han Won held more than 20 people in this prison. As soon as they heard that there was something to eat, everyone immediately ran to the swill bucket like crazy.

"Heck..."Han Yuan hesitated and fished out a lump of slimy stuff from the swill bucket, just put it in his mouth and spit it out.

In the bucket were some boiled leaves and bran. Although Han Won grew up in the countryside, his family is much better than the average person, and he really can't swallow such things.

The others, unlike the won, were all vying to get the contents of the bucket in their stomachs. As long as they can eat and fill their stomachs, they don't care what they eat.

The two brothers, the big tiger and the second tiger, were also scrambling, and the two did not forget to call the won when they grabbed it.

"Forget it, you brothers can use it slowly. I'm not hungry. Han Won refused on his lips, but his stomach was growling uncontrollably.

"Brother Han, eat a little. I know it's not for human food, but it's better than starving. The big tiger persuaded.

Han Won felt that Dahu was right. I finally survived until now, and it's a pity that I just starved to death.

So he pinched his nose and tried to force himself to swallow the pig-like thing in his stomach.

"This thing is so unpalatable." Han Won was a little complicated and said, "I still want to eat."

It's a pity that the bucket of swill is empty.

"When you're hungry, everything you eat is delicious." Someone laughed.

"I've eaten this before." And humane.

Everyone began to talk word by word, as if they had forgotten their own situation.

"What? Shut up. The jailer's voice silenced the messy cell.

"Later, the county commander will come over, who dares to make any more noise, beware of the whip."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for more than a dozen soap officials and archers to walk towards the prison with two big men in their arms.

The leader is a man who is not confused, about six feet tall, with big ears and a rich face, and he thinks it is the county order. The other man was slightly taller, standing about the same age, with a dark face and few beards, fleshless cheeks, and a slightly yin vulture.

"Two adults, these two cells are holding the thieves who were caught yesterday." The jailer said respectfully.

"Lord Prefectural Order! We're not thieves! Han Won loudly defended: "We are all good people who survived in the nearby villages!"

The county magistrate noticed Han Yuan who spoke, and said strangely: "This county sees that you are very familiar, what town and village are you?"

Han Yuan was overjoyed and said: "My lord, the grass people are from Rotten Peach Village, Daliang Town!" His father's surname is Han, and he used to be an official under the curtain of adults. Do you remember? ”

The county commander suddenly realized: "Ah, it turned out to be Liuxiao's son, where is your father?"

"Father, heβ€”" Han Yuan sighed and said his recent experience with tears in his eyes.

When the county magistrate heard this, he believed him, and turned to discuss it with the vulture man.

"I don't think these people are like thieves." The county magistrate said in a low voice.

"Jiang County Order, you abandoned the city and fled this time, and you failed to fulfill your responsibility to defend the land, which is a serious crime."

The vulture man sneered: "If it weren't for the kindness of the county guard and let this official help you recover the county seat, I'm afraid you would be the one in the prison now."

"Now Jiaxian has been taken back from the thief by the official, but there is not even a thief's head, do you think the people above are all pig heads?"

The vulture man's words made the prefectural order hesitate.

He was not asked, and he was able to invite troops from the county to recover the county, not because the county guard was kind, but because he gave a large enough gift.

Now that Jiaxian County has been recovered, although it was let out by the thieves themselves, it can't be said about the above.

The conversation between the two was heard clearly by the people in the prison. The vulture man clearly meant to kill everyone.

"My lord, spare my life..."

"I don't want to die!"

Many cried out unwillingly.

"My lord, you can't kill it! We can't kill any of them! ”

Han Won yelled desperately.

The vulture man glanced at Han Won and said casually, "Can't be killed?" How can you not kill. ”

Han Yuan seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and said loudly: "There are three reasons why villains can't be killed!"

As soon as he had said that, he spun his brain around quickly, trying to come up with three reasons at once.

"Oh? Let's hear it. The vulture man looked at Han Won with interest, wanting to hear what he could say.

"The villain dares to ask for advice, is the adult a general sent by the county?"

"Yes. What does this do, you ask? Want to grind time? The vulture man said impatiently.

"No, no. The adults listen to the little ones slowly. Han Yuan swallowed his saliva and explained: "First of all, although Jia County has been recovered, the city is now sparsely populated and lifeless, and the outside of the city is also a mess and chaos.

The vulture man sneered, "That's what you're talking about? How to restore Jia County, that is a matter of the county order, what does it have to do with me? All I have to do is cut off your heads and ask for credit. ”

Han Yuan hurriedly said: "My lord, this is a mistake. How this Jiaxian County was recovered, I believe the adults know it in their hearts. The thieves haven't left Jiaxian for half a month, who knows if they will come back? Maybe they heard that the officers and soldiers were coming, and they killed them again? Will you be able to defend the city at that time? Since you can't hold it, you will have to abandon the city when the time comes, which is also a great sin of losing your land. ”

"And what do you mean?" The vulture man thought for a moment and asked.

Han Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, this is the second truth of the grass people. Since the adults are stationed in the county seat, they have to bear the risk of guarding the city. Now that Jiaxian County is so dilapidated, let alone thieves, maybe where there is a bandit will have to make the officers and soldiers suffer. ”

"If you leave us behind, we are familiar with this area, and we can recruit volunteers for the adults to strengthen the defense of the city."

The vulture man was puzzled: "What do you mean, or let this official take on the responsibility of guarding the city?"

Han Yuan said: "My lord, when the thieves leave Jia County, they will definitely attack other county seats, and the grass people guess that the counties will definitely not be able to stop the thieves' attack." Therefore, the thieves will definitely hit the county town in the end. ”

The vulture man nodded, agreeing with Han won's words.

"Whether the thieves can break through the county town, the grass people don't know. But my lord, if you recruit volunteers in this area and clean up the ruined counties, the county keeper will not disagree. ”

"As long as the adults don't return to the county, then the thieves attack the county, whether they are captured or not, the adults don't have to suffer from the fish in the pond. If the thieves win, they will abandon the city and attack other counties, and then the lord can lead his troops and horses to follow the thieves and regain the lost territory. If the thieves are defeated, the officers and soldiers in the county town must also be greatly injured and unable to chase down the remnants of the thieves. ”

The vulture man's eyes lit up, and he felt that Han won's words were very reasonable.

He turned his head to Jiang County and said, "Jiang County Order, then let these people go." By the way, I have to trouble the county order to find some dead bodies to cut off the head of the official to make up the number. ”

Jiang County ordered only promises.

"What about your third truth?" The vulture man suddenly said to Han Yuan.

"......" Han Yuan was dumbfounded for a while when he heard this.

"Forget it, no more talk. What is your name? ”

"Grass people won."

"Won? Good name. The vulture man remembered the name.
