Chapter Seventy-Two: Eat flesh and blood to repay the saints of heaven and earth

Both the square is soapy, both firm and good, not bad or bad. Remove its moths, and its thieves, and do not harm my Tianzhi. Tian Zu has a god, and he is in flames.

This sentence comes from the "Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Datian", the moths and crickets are all pests in the field, the people of the pre-Qin Dynasty have already said that they will hunt and kill with fire, but they did not expect that the people of later generations would not dare to kill, until the Tang Dynasty Yao Chongzhi locusts, it was over, it is really laughable.

Singing and dancing is a custom in ancient Chinese society since ancient times, and this style is still prevalent in the Eastern Han Dynasty, making people express joy and love and hatred in a common form.

From the dignitaries to the common people, they can sing and dance on the spot. Ma Rong "relatives of the wealthy family, many women advocate singing and dancing in front", the Han army soldiers returned victorious, and often "sang and returned", the prevailing style of singing and dancing in the Han Dynasty is the same.

Although the villagers have not wiped out all the locusts, they have suffered great results, and the locusts in the fields have been reduced a lot in the past few days.

When the locusts arose, it can be said that the place where they passed, there was no left in the wilderness, not a single grass was left, and when Fuquan came, he saw that many crops on the edge of the field were plagued by locusts, these are the hope of the people to survive, and it can be seen how much harm this locust plague has done to the ordinary people who live by farming.

In the second half of the night, the reddened sky reflected by the flames reflected in the sky above the sun, with puffs of smoke, even Henan Yin was alarmed, and sent a subordinate clerk to investigate, but after seeing the Yue cavalry captain show the edict, he only said hello Shi Shiran and went back.

There were not too many locusts in the air, and it seemed that the locust hunt could be ended tonight, and the young villagers who participated in this action all cheered, sang and danced, and when the old and weak women and children who had been puzzled learned that the locusts could be killed, they also joined the cheering procession, and only time will tell whether they would fear the gods' condemnation.

At this time, Zhao Xin came with a few people, and Fu Quan looked at a few people, as if they were carrying a few sacks, which were bulging and seemed to have objects. Because all the people were in the field, and the people's crops had been doomed, they could not bear to trample the crops and fields, so they commanded that they should not ride horses, but that they should all walk.

After a few people saluted, they put the sack in front of Fu Wan and the others, and Zhao Xin said: "General Qiyu, this is the right time to burn and bury the insects left by the locusts." The villagers picked it up, and there was no pit to bury, so their subordinates brought it to the general and asked the general to send it down. ”

After the ambush, how could he pay attention, and said directly: "You wait to ride a horse to dig a pit elsewhere and bury it." ”

Zhao Xin was just about to agree, but the three elders who didn't expect to be dizzy woke up at this time, ran out of the house, and shouted: "You and other thieves, you dare to kill the locusts, these are the locusts, you can't kill them!" The locusts all hold grudges, and the more they kill, the more fierce they will be in the coming year. ”

When he had finished speaking, he ran to the sack, knelt down and prayed, and said something in his mouth, as if he were praying to the gods for forgiveness.

Seeing this, Fuquan felt anger in his heart, superstition is not shallow, these people of high moral virtue have won the trust of the people everywhere, and the public opinion they said has made the people more convinced that the locusts are gods, and they do not correct it, even if the locusts are successfully killed today, in the future, the places may still not listen to the order of the court to hunt and kill the locusts, so their efforts are not in vain?

I saw that Fuquan shouted angrily: "Locusts are pests, and they harm countless crops, and the people work hard but do not reap the harvest. ”

With that, he walked up to the three elders, and opened the sack in front of him, and many of the locusts in it were either dead or badly burned by the fire, and were dying inside.

Fu Quan grabbed a locust with black ash on its body, it was not big or small, its weak legs were swaying and kicking around, obviously struggling but not having much strength.

Fu Quan stared at the locust for a few breaths, and then made an astonishing move in front of everyone.

He plucked the locust's head violently, wiped off the ashes of its body with his hands, and then threw the simple locust into his mouth and devoured it.

I only heard the sound of chewing in Fu Quan's mouth, which should not have been loud, but at this time, it was extremely loud in the ears of everyone present. After eating, Fu Quan's face showed anger, and his eyes were red and said: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. Eat the grains of the Han people, such as the hearts and minds of the Han people, and the rest are the relatives of the Han Emperor, enjoying the people's anointing, and now eating the flesh and blood to repay the saints of heaven and earth! ”

After speaking angrily, everyone present looked sideways, and for a while, the scene quieted down for a while, and even the three elders who had been praying were stunned and stunned for a while when they saw what Fuquan did.

After all, locusts contain a lot of nutrients in their bodies, which can not only be made into delicious dishes, but also have good medicinal value, but in the Han Dynasty, it was a little too scary.

The night was low, there was a ban in Luoyang, the city gate was closed, and it was definitely impossible to go back.

The soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, who had been tired for a day, fell asleep, and Fu Quan sat in his military tent and pondered, thinking about what to do below.

He did a bit of a risk today, if he hunted and killed locusts, it would be okay, and if it worked, someone would understand, but he swallowed locusts alive was really shocking.

If this matter reaches the DPRK and the Central Committee, it will certainly arouse criticism from the government and the opposition, and judging from the limited cognition of people's minds at this time, they will certainly be very puzzled, and perhaps some people will slander themselves in this way, which will be unfavorable to them, and they will have to be like a way.

For a moment, Fu Quan thought of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. Whether locusts can be eaten or not, the doctor's words are the most authoritative, and Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, since the plague in Luoyang, the two of them can be said to be famous all over the world, and they are miracle doctors who can even treat natural disasters such as plague.

If they all say that locusts can be eaten and can be used as medicine, wouldn't that justify their own view that "locusts can be removed, locusts can be eaten, and locusts can be cured"?

Zhang Zhongjing was sent out to Changsha last year, and sure enough, historical inertia will always intersect with the original, and Zhang Zhongjing still went to Changsha as an official just like history.

However, the difference from the original is that he spent a long time in the officialdom in the years of history before he was appointed as the Taishou of Changsha, and now, because Liu Hongnian of his treatment of the plague, he was released early, but it can be regarded as a blessing in advance because of Fuquan, but I don't know if he will be frustrated in the officialdom as a teenager, and he will stay away from the officialdom again and devote himself to treating diseases and saving people?

Changsha is too far away from Luoyang, Zhang Zhongjing can't shout, he can only be Yuzhou, I hope Hua Tuo is in his hometown at this time, otherwise he can only leave a letter in Yu Zhong, let him urge Hua Tuo to come, and he will definitely come with his own face.

Thinking of this, Fu Quan found a pen and silk, hurriedly wrote a letter with vivid words, and looked at his handwriting, which was not bad. After several years of practice, his italic characters are much better than in his previous life, and he is often used, as for the popular chapter grass in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he really can't write well.

After summoning Huang Zhong and handing over the letter to him, he was ordered to go to Henan Yin to receive the "pass", and then hurried to Peiguo County, Yuzhou, and handed the letter to Hua Tuo.
