Chapter VI: The Captives
Puzzled in his heart, Wang Shen turned his head sharply, only to see An Yingxiang was in a coma, but there was a scheming smile on the corner of his mouth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Wang Shen laughed in his heart: naΓ―ve.
However, Ying Xiang does seem to be getting better, he is also happy, now the most important time to get him something to eat, yesterday An Niang found the cake from the dead body has all the stomachs of the three people, everyone has been out of cooking.
Even if it weren't for him, I would be so hungry.
It's just that this area is all wilderness, except for grass or grass, and after walking for a long time, I can't see a person, so where can I find food?
Eating an unknown number of thatch roots not only could not stop the hunger in his stomach, but made him hungry.
When a person is hungry, fire rises. Ying Xiang on his back was also annoying, and his body was getting heavier and heavier. This kid is only twelve or thirteen years old, how can he grow so tall, he has become thin into a skeleton, and he is very serious.
No, this kid deliberately gathered his qi and pressed the weight of his body down. I, Wang Shen, don't know where to provoke him, so I fed him medicine anyway, as for it?
Wang Shen was annoyed in his heart, and sat on the ground: "Miss An, take a breath." β
At this time, there was a "fluttering" sound around him, and dense black dots flew up, which startled him.
"It turned out to be locusts, and after a long drought there will be a plague of locusts, and the ancients did not deceive me. Locusts, proteins, lots of proteins! Wang Shen's eyes lit up and shouted: "Catch it, Miss An, catch it, you can eat it." β
"Ah, there's something to eat." An Niang was overjoyed, probably really hungry, so she threw herself forward and fell to the ground.
Wang Shen was taken aback, and hurriedly helped her up from the ground: "Miss An, it's okay." β
"I'm fine, it's just...... It's ......"
"What's it?" Wang Shen hurriedly asked.
An Niang raised her hand that had been dyed green, with a frustrated face: "I obviously caught two insects just now, but the force was too strong and I pinched them." β
Wang Shen breathed a sigh of relief: "I said what's wrong with you, so that's the case." There are a lot of locusts here, so you can just crush them and catch them. Do you want you to be a beautiful girl, with so much strength on the ground? β
An Niang was ashamed and angry: "Who do you say is strong, I hate it." As he spoke, the ghost smeared the juice in his hand on Wang Shen's face.
Wang Shenha said: "Miss An, are you taking revenge on me for wiping your face in the morning?" β
A-Niang wiped again: "Brother Wang is deeply kind to my sister and brother, how dare I retaliate?" The eldest brother was born with sparse eyebrows, and was carefully caught by the female king to be the prince of the village, no, he had to paint his face......" Before she finished speaking, she giggled, and then buried her head with a red face, and only looked ahead secretly with her eyes. I don't know why, I did all the way with this Brother Wang, but she had an indescribable happiness in her heart.
Wang Shen: "I want to wipe everyone together, wipe it into a green fang, and my face is like blue indigo." Then he burst another locust, and tried to stretch out his claws again.
At this time, someone over there snorted coldly: "It's not unorthodox." β
The two turned their heads to look at the same time, but saw that An Yingxiang didn't know when he had sat up, and looked at Wang Shen with angry eyes. If eyes can kill, Wang Shen is afraid that he has already died thousands of times.
"Ah, Ying Xiang, you woke up, how are you feeling today?" An Niang screamed in surprise, hurriedly ran over, supported her younger brother, touched her forehead and looked at her tongue.
"Let me go, don't touch me." Ying Xiang was very weak, and his voice was small: "Also, you stay away from the surname Wang, Dengzi, you are not a good person, and you can only deceive you." β
"Ah...... Ying Xiang. Hearing his younger brother scolding him, remembering that the scene of frolicking with Wang Shen just now was all in his eyes, An Niang's body trembled, and her face was full of peach blossoms.
This little girl, her skin is too thin, and she loves to blush too much, which makes people like it.
Wang Shen smiled and said, "An Niang, Little Brother An is already fine." β
"Ah, alright." An Niangyou exclaimed as usual, grabbed her brother's hand and shook it: "Yes, yes, yes, if it was in the past, this half-day road down, brother, you are only afraid that you will pull it twice, okay, okay, woo...... Brother, you finally came back to life, my sister is so happy. β
"What are you crying about, I can't die." Ying Xiang looked impatient: "Let go of me, manly husband, if you die, you will die, what's the big deal, tell the person surnamed Wang to get out." β
Seeing that An Yingxiang had the strength to scold people, and he didn't run his stomach all morning, Wang Shen said: "Aha, my medicine really worked, and it was right, this ancient virus has not yet developed resistance, and any kind of antibiotic used on him is a miracle medicine." Great, Brother An, the medicine can't be stopped. As he spoke, he took the water bladder that had been untied from the thief he shot and killed yesterday, and handed it over: "An Niang, feed Brother An another medicine." β
"Well...... Yes! β
"What's your name again?" Wang Shen was puzzled and puzzled.
At this moment, he felt a sharp object on his waist, and then someone shouted angrily in his ear: "Don't move, or I will kill you!" β
The long bush behind An Niang and An Yingxiang surged, and five or six men in leather armor with bright blades jumped out and put knives on the necks of the two sisters and brothers.
In an instant, Wang Shen's cold sweat flowed out, and he hurriedly said: "Don't mess around, we don't move, we don't move." I have a jade pendant on my waist, and I can exchange it for a drink, you can take it, but please spare the lives of our family of three. β
An Yingxiang spat weakly: "Who is with you is a family of three." β
An Niang hurriedly covered his mouth and shook his head.
"Just a jade pendant wants to send us away, when our brothers are asking for food?" The man in the back sneered repeatedly, but still stretched out a hand to tear off the horizontal knife and jade pendant on Wang Shen's body: "Bundled." β
All the soldiers rushed up and tied Wang Shen into zongzi.
Wang Shen complained bitterly in his heart, not to mention that he had not eaten for a day and a night, and he had no food in his stomach and was weak in his body. Even if you have the strength on your body, you can't resist when you face so many heavily armed enemies, plus An Niang's sister and brother are being held with knives and throwing rat traps by themselves.
When he was tied up, Wang Shen came back to his senses, and saw that everyone was dressed in bright armor and was different from the six rogues yesterday, and said busily: "But officers and soldiers, we are all good citizens, and we have fled to this point, not thieves, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." β
"That's right, we are officers and soldiers, but we are sharp-eyed. However, you are tall and strong, with a sword at your waist, and you are not a good person at first glance. It must be the meticulous work of the thieves, so let's go back with my grandfather first. The officer-like man at the head looked at Wang Shen with a sneer.
Hearing that it was Song Bing, Wang Shen breathed a sigh of relief and comforted An Niang, who was already pale: "An Niang, it's your own person, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just go back to the camp with them and make it clear." β
"Who said they were going to take them with you?" The officer pulled out the horizontal knife that Wang Shen had captured, and was suddenly shocked by the three-foot Qingfeng: "Good knife." β
Then he walked up to An Yingxiang, stroked a few times on his neck, and said coldly: "This kid is a tuberculosis ghost, and he can't walk at all." We still have dozens of miles to go, who is impatient to take him, cut it first. β
"Don't, don't!" An Niang screamed and threw herself on her brother, tears gushing out like a spring, and two traces were washed out on her face that had been wiped with flowers.
The officer saw that An Niang was dirty like this, and he was bored: "Even you will be killed." β
Wang Shen's heart was cold: Oops, I forgot that this Song army is not a benevolent and righteous army.
Yes, in feudal society, although the officers and soldiers represent the imperial court, they are not good at stubble during the war, and they will not tell you anything about the situation between the military and the people. Robbery of the people and plague the land is sometimes worse than that of the bandits. As the saying goes: bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates.
Take the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty as an example, Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi made a mess, and the small dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty sent a large army to pacify the Kou, and the people of the two lakes were a terrible crime.
Slaughter once when the thief army comes, and once when the Song army comes. There is no way, in ancient times, there was a shortage of materials, and the transportation of grain was inconvenient, and the army would eat with the army when it went out. The so-called Israeli army eats, to put it bluntly, it is robbery.
The Song army and the thief army repeatedly tug-of-war in Dongting Lake, killing it alive for thousands of miles into uninhabited white land, and it took more than 20 years to regain its vitality.
Yue Fei's "freezing to death without demolishing the house, starving to death without plundering" was a special existence in ancient times, and because of this, Yue's army was supported by the people and maintained strict discipline and high morale.
In this era, the thief armies such as Cao Cheng, Kong Yanzhou, Li Yu, Zhang Yong and other places were beasts, and the officers and soldiers in various places, whether they were Zhang Jun or Liu Guangshi's soldiers, were also beasts, and they all had to live on human flesh.
Just when Wang Shen's heart was cold, he thought of the name Liu Guangshi and the three-year history of Jianyan that he had seen in historical materials before, and his heart suddenly lit up.
Ignoring anything else, he shouted loudly: "You are Uncle Liu Ping's Huaixi Army, we are from Suqian, there is an urgent military situation, please take me and others to see your boss quickly." β
"Grandpa is the Huaixi Army, pounce, look at you, a birdman thief and thief, what emergency military situation can there be, isn't it just that there are a few thieves along the way who robbed by fire, it's not a big deal." The officer-looking man sneered, but the knife in hand stopped.
Wang Shen was not afraid, and laughed loudly: "Haha, haha, you don't know it when you die in front of you, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous." β
"Yi Dutou, this little thief is so annoying, cut him!" All the sergeants shouted at the same time.
The man named Yi Dutou turned pale: "What are you laughing at, if you don't make it clear today, Lao Tzu won't bother to take you back, so he will directly cut Shuangli." β
Wang Shen glanced at him sarcastically and sneered: "Is it really just a few thieves, hehe, if Li Yu is also a thief, the world will be too peaceful?" β
"What, Li Yu!" The officer was taken aback, and his face changed greatly: "You also know Li Yu?" β
"Why don't you know, Jinan thief Li Yu." Wang Shen nodded: "I've seen him in Suqian." A few days ago, Liu Dashuai entered to suppress the thieves, and the two armies confronted each other in Chuzhou...... I think my Huaixi army has a lot of elites who dare to fight, how can the thieves resist it...... Now, the main force of the Li thief is heading south in the starry night, wanting to bypass Hongze Lake and copy the grain route in the rear of our army...... If my rear is plundered by its money, I am afraid that this battle will be repeated, why don't you take me and wait to see your boss quickly, if it is too late, can you afford to suffer the crime? Please spare my brother's life, and go to see your boss, otherwise, I will die in Xia. β
"Dang!" The horizontal knife fell to the ground, and the face of the surnamed Yi changed greatly, and he muttered: "Li Yu is here, Li Yu is here, until the is finished!" β
