Chapter 32 All the money for a meal

"Lord Thorn Shi, my subordinates have discussed something with you, can you let your subordinates and the other three wooden platoon teams also join this big team? It's too windy,."

Liu Shaoqing really has no choice, he can save some food and food, but the safety cannot be guaranteed, the large piece of connected place is like the earth and the island compared to their small piece, the land will not happen in the wind and rain, but the island may be flooded at any time.

After hesitating again and again, he found Zhang Zhong who was still here and was busy looking around, and wanted to unite, his attitude and title changed, as if Zhang Zhong was really a thorn in his mind.

Zhang Zhong no longer has any expectations for this person, especially when he knows that the four people gloated in the heavy rain and water, and he can't wait to push the four people into the water and drown them now.

At this time, seeing Liu Shaoqing coming over to join together, after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll arrange someone to connect your wooden rafts together in a while, so you don't have to worry." ”

"Thank you, my lord, there is one more thing, that is, to eat, we came out too anxious, we didn't bring anything cooked, that raw rice and noodles will really hurt your stomach if you eat too much, it is better for adults to let people collect our grains, and then give us some cooked things according to the same amount."

Liu Shaoqing said inch by inch, he had a good idea, but unfortunately Zhang Zhong was not a fool, he looked at him with a smile and said to him: "It's better to send rice and noodles and other oils or something, and then send some wood that can directly burn the fire, and our people here will help you do it, you just need to pay a processing fee, how about it?" ”

"Huh? Dry wood that can be burned directly? My lord, how can we have such a thing, it's all wet, it can't be lit at all, the fire on your side is prosperous, even if it's wet, it can be baked and dried, why don't we send some wet ones to you, and give you ten times of money, it will be regarded as the cost of processing, do you think it's okay? ”

Liu Shaoqing said that he was wronged, but he was actually scolding Zhang Zhong in his heart, if there is fire, can he still find you?

Zhang Zhong didn't think about how the four people scolded him at all, but he didn't plan to let the four people get better, after hearing Liu Shaoqing's words, he shook his head regretfully, and said: "It's not that the official doesn't help with this, it's really that the wet wood burns up and the smoke is too big."

Now, you bring the wet wood and all the food and money here, and get a portion of it every day when you eat, so that you will not starve to death, but the four of you are united, and you eat together, yes, this is how the people in the government should do the things of the people well.

The matter is thus decided, and after a while, the official will arrange for someone to come to you to get the things, and you must prepare all the things, otherwise, even if the official agrees, so many people may not agree. ”

Liu Shaoqing was a little dizzy, the wood and food were sent over, and he even had to give money, especially the sentence, he came to get something to eat every day, so that people would not starve to death, couldn't he be full, thinking of this, Liu Shaoqing had no choice but to be cheeky and continue to beg Zhang Zhong.

"My lord, I can't use the money, don't you have to take it out, and besides, the family of the four of us is used to having a full meal, in case we don't eat enough, it's not good to make trouble, don't you say, sir?"

"Liu Shaoqing, are you threatening me? The total number of you four families is only 200 people, don't worry, just make trouble, kill one if you make trouble, kill one when you have two, even if the four of you also make trouble, the official will definitely not be merciful at this time, if you don't believe it, give it a try.

You can step back now, if you want to eat cooked things, do what the official says, and be careful of your head if you want to ***, and in the future, the official doesn't want to hear the same words from your mouth, otherwise you will be directly tied to a stone and sink into the water, and you will be regarded as loyal to the country, hum! ”

Zhang Zhong is not used to the problems of four people at all, *** Okay, worried that he can't find a reason to kill, after saying to Liu Shaoqing, he snorted coldly, and walked to another place.

"Adult, adult, you can't do this, the little one said the wrong thing, the little one changed, adult, what are you doing?" Liu Shaoqing still wanted to catch up, shouting in his mouth, and suddenly he was put on his neck by two knives, stopped there and didn't dare to move, and questioned the two people.

Both of them were guards of the palace, and they didn't care about a judge at all, and one of them leaned forward again, stared at Liu Shaoqing and said, "Hurry up and stay away, or die." ”

As he spoke, the man smiled gloomily at Liu Shaoqing, and the two of them put away their knives and left after Zhang Zhong.

Liu Shaoqing stood in place and really didn't dare to continue to follow, looked back at the direction where the three people were, and didn't know how to go back, blaming himself for saying the wrong thing for a while, saying something bad, why did he talk about *** things, Zhang Zhong was angry, now it's okay, if you want to eat hot things, you have to send everything over, including money, otherwise you will eat raw.

It's just a statement, let him make trouble and he won't dare, Zhang Zhong is killing people without blinking, whoever jumps out will die.

With a sigh, Liu Shaoqing returned to the three people who were looking forward to it, and said to them: "Zhang Zhong doesn't agree to do things for us, let's hand over all the things, and someone will do it there, but at the same time, let's send all the money over, what do you say?"

I tried my best just now, and finally got Zhang Zhong to agree to connect these wooden rows of ours there, I can't do other things, you see who is powerful, let someone go over and talk about it, don't think about it***, Zhang Zhong has already said, kill one if there is one. ”

Liu Shaoqing first talked about eating, and naturally did not say that he accidentally offended Zhang Zhong just now, but emphasized the things that could connect the past, making the three of them think that he did his best.

The three of them didn't have the heart to suspect Liu Shaoqing of lying now, thinking that it was really the case, after all, Zhang Zhong and them had never dealt with each other, how could they miss the opportunity.

Cao Herui slapped his thigh angrily and scolded there: "Damn Zhang Zhong, don't fall into our hands, you want us to send all the money up, their family lost this time, are you going to let us make up for the loss?" Dreaming, right?

I decided, let the people below eat raw things, what are you afraid of eating bad stomachs? It's not bad to eat it, but it's hard for some people who live in the mountains to eat something cooked, so let's go over the raft first, what do you say? ”

"I said that's the case, you can't send the money over, the four of us have a total of 10,000, why give him Zhang Zhong, eat raw food, don't you have some fruits? The four of us and our families ate some fruit and let the subordinates eat raw, and we had to tell the subordinates that it was Zhang Zhong who harmed them. ”

Jiang Wanshi was also angry, calling there, saying that he didn't agree to give away the money, one of the other two people said the wrong thing and didn't dare to say anything else, and the other saw that both of them didn't agree, so they had to agree, and the four of them advanced and retreated together.

Even if the food matter was like this, the four of them ordered their subordinates to row the place composed of these wooden rows towards the side of the big one, and no one expected that as soon as they arrived at the side, the palace guards standing there shouted to them: "Who asked you to come?" Paddle away, hurry up, or don't blame us for being rude. ”

Fan Cambodia Xi stood up at this time, went to the front and said with a smiling face: "This, it was Master Zhang Zhang who asked me to wait for the wooden raft to come here, and I waited for Zhang Da's people to come back." ”

"Lord Zhang said to let you lean over, no, let you lean here, come with me, the place has already been there, there is no one next to it, clean."

As the guard spoke, he walked up beside the raft, and the large raft moved with it, and as he walked until he came to the end that leaned outside, where there was no one on it, only a few stones, and besides the stones on it, there were stones tied to the rafts with ropes.

In this way, there are waves coming over there, and they have to pass through here first, which was originally a big wave, but after passing through here, it becomes much weaker, so that people don't have to bump on the wooden raft.

But this place was not what the four of them wanted to come, and after seeing the place, Fan Cambodia couldn't help but ask, "Why is this here?" Doesn't it just make us wait to suffer? No, it doesn't work here, it's where I just went. ”

The guard sneered and said to Fan Cambodia: "If you say no, you can't?" Either as before, you float yours, and we drift ours, or just listen to the order, merge the rafts here, and hurry up and say what to do, there is no time to waste on you. ”

"I'm going to ask the adults, it's impossible." Liu Shaoqing didn't want to be on the outermost side with the waves constantly undulating, throwing down a sentence and running away.

After looking around, I found Zhang Zhong who was asking an old man, Zhang Zhong was already sleepy, he yawned twice in a row after saying a few words, and his eyes were open.

The people who talked to him quickly expressed their views on the weather, so that Zhang Zhong could go to bed early.

"My lord, my lord, you can help the little ones, your guard really didn't obey the order, and even arranged our wooden raft to the place closest to the sea."

Liu Shaoqing found Zhang Zhong's complaint, Zhang Zhong yawned again, and said to Liu Shaoqing: "No one doesn't listen to the order, it was arranged for you by this official, go over there and tie your wooden raft firmly, you are replacing those stones on your wooden raft, so you can't be on the outside!" ”

Chapter 33: Love is Sometimes Too Sudden

"Huh? So? Thank you for the adults, and the little ones will do it. Liu Shaoqing understood this time, lowered his head and walked back, scolding in a low voice as he walked, "Damn Zhang Zhong, he actually arranged us to this place, there is really a big wind and waves coming, and those stones must not be turned over and smashed on our heads?" ”

Thinking so, Liu Shaoqing said the same to the three people when he returned there, the three of them thought about it, but none of them agreed, and after some discussion, the four of them decided to get this wooden row place in front of the big wooden row, and when they got there, even if there was water rushing down, they didn't have to worry.

There is really a big storm coming from behind, so let Zhang Zhong and those people stand up first.

The place where the small wooden platoon was united began to move towards the front again, Zhang Xiaobao stood next to the big wooden platoon formation, watched the wooden platoon move, smiled and said nothing.

Wang Juan frowned and asked, "Xiaobao, just let them go?" ”

"It's still raining." Zhang Xiaobao looked up at the sky and said.

Wang Juan understood this time, smiled, and pulled Zhang Xiaobao over to rest, the two of them were a little tired, even if they slept for half an hour, they could recover a lot.

Zhang Zhong was also tired at this time, and he couldn't stand, so he had to find a stool to sit down and talk to others, and fell asleep while talking.

When it was almost evening, Zhang Dashan and a few people also came over, and a thick log directly hit the place where Liu Shaoqing and the four of them were composed of more than 30 wooden rows, and there were three wooden rows scattered when they landed.

Liu Shaoqing stood up and scolded Zhang Dashan, Zhang Dashan didn't pay attention to others at all, and said to Liu Shaoqing: "Shut up first, tell me, where is my master?" My lord is the assassin on your side, and I'm here to find my lord. ”

Liu Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed again, and said to Zhang Dashan: "Are you from the Zhang family?" Okay, come with me, I'll take you to find an adult, but you broke our wooden raft, do you have to pay for it first? ”

"What crashed into it?" Zhang Dashan asked.

"Of course it's wood." Liu Shaoqing replied.

"Then you look for wood to compensate, don't look for us, we were also hit by wood, it turned out that we stayed there well, and we were hit by wood, I asked you to clean up this wood first, and I will clean it up after you finish cleaning up, and you have to chop it up as firewood."

Zhang Dashan said to Liu Shaoqing with a look of hatred with you, and kicked the wood a few times.

Liu Shaoqing clicked his mouth twice, nodded resignedly, and said, "Lord Zhang is over there, you can find a way to go over by yourself, we don't let Master Zhang get close." ”

"Oh, that's okay, are there any people from the Zhang family? I'm Zhang Dashan, the farmer of the Zhang family, come and pick us up. Zhang Dashan looked honest, in fact, he was not stupid at all, he understood that this person was difficult for himself, so he shouted over there, and soon, a boat rowed to the front.

Zhang Dashan and the six of them got on the boat, looked back at Liu Shaoqing, and the expressions on their faces made Liu Shaoqing feel that something seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't think of something wrong.

"Sir, sir, I finally found you." Zhang Dashan led the five people around, and then found Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong had just woken up, looked at Zhang Dashan with hazy eyes, shook his head vigorously, and asked curiously: "Are you Zhang Dashan?" ”

"Yes, yes, sir, it's me, I'm here to see you, I'm going to Qinzhou to make smoked chicken to sell, I didn't expect a heavy rain, I came over, sir, how are you?" Are the old lady and the old lady good, the lady good, the little boy and the little lady? ”

Zhang Dashan said excitedly, and the five people standing next to him immediately knelt down, this is a big official, a big one.

"Get up, don't kneel, the wood is full of water, the mountains, who came with you?" This is what Zhang Zhong is most concerned about.

"Sir, don't worry, just me, no one else, sir, these people are my new acquaintances, all the way to here by sitting on a big log, and also knocked a few of the wooden rafts in front of me, sir, someone wants to join our Zhuangzi, it's this woman, sir, do you think it's okay?"

Zhang Dashan knew what the old man was worried about, and after finishing there, he pointed to the five people who came with him to introduce him, and emphatically mentioned that someone wanted to join Zhuangzi.

Zhang Zhong understood as soon as he heard it, and looked the woman up and down, the woman was a little shy at first, but then she also let go, stood up straight, and let Zhang Zhong look at it, Zhang Zhong didn't see anything for a while, and ordered a person next to him: "Go and call Xiaobao and Juan Juan." ”

Waiting for the man to leave, Zhang Zhong said to Zhang Dashan again: "After a while, Xiaobao and Juan Juan came, and they said okay, then it will work." ”

"Got it, sir." Zhang Dashan was a little nervous, stood next to the woman, and said to the woman: "Don't be afraid, the master's family is good, especially the little boy and the little lady, it will definitely work, how much dowry is your family going to ask for this time?" I'd better prepare in advance. ”

The woman was also nervous, nodded, and when she heard Zhang Dashan say the bride price, she said a little shyly: "It's all poor people, just a few hundred dollars, a few pieces of cloth, and a few bits and pieces." ”

"That's not good, how can you order so many things, you have to add, and when I think about it, how can I make your family more decent, otherwise the neighbors will look down on you." Zhang Dashan also has some feelings in this regard, he has seen the Zhuang family on the Zhuangzi marry the girl before, but the other party's bride price is very small, the girl didn't pick anything, but the people around him felt that it was too shabby.

Now the daughter on the Zhuangzi is not going out to marry, the girl who got married out at the beginning began to be angry in the in-law's house, since the Zhuangzi got up, just like an ancestor, back to her mother's house, the in-law's family also has to send someone to carefully protect it, no longer have to be angry.

The woman is the most full of longing in this regard, and when she heard Zhang Dashan say this, she was even more satisfied, at this time Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came over, and the two of them listened to Zhang Zhong's words, looked up at the woman, and saw the heroic look on the woman's face, the two of them glanced at each other and nodded.

Zhang Xiaobao opened his mouth and said, "Zhang Dashan, do you want to do business this time?" Then do it, wait for the New Year, go back next year, and prepare a bride price for you at home, so that you can come, help do something, and the people on the Zhuangzi can rest assured. ”

Zhang Dashan was happy when he heard it, laughed twice at the woman next to him, and ran directly to help do things, the woman saw everyone looking at her again, her face flushed, and she ran away with Zhang Dashan.

"Xiaobao, do you think this is love? It's coming too fast, isn't it? Wang Juan looked at Zhang Dashan and the woman's reaction, very puzzled.

"This should be counted, right? At least two people are willing, and it seems to be good, love, as some people say, always comes too quickly and too suddenly, I don't want them anymore, and it can be regarded as a test to do business together here. ”

Zhang Xiaobao couldn't figure it out, he had also never experienced love, shook his head, turned around and walked away, this rain is a bit scary, and if it goes on like this, there will be a bigger flood peak.

Wang Juan followed beside him, still thinking about love, but then he was confused, and asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, how many people do you say the ten big ships can pick up this time, and are those people willing to stay in the state?" ”

"I don't know, it depends on the two states, if the officials in the two states react in time, there won't be too many people washed away, and on the contrary, there will be more people."

The ten ships that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said were the ten ships that left of the eighteen, seven of which went to the coast of Lianzhou, and the other three went to the coast of Sumaozhou, which was smaller and did not need so many ships.

It was completely dark, the water was still raging, and Lianzhou was not prepared at all, countless houses were washed away, and countless people were swept away by the rapids, but fortunately, these individuals lived by the sea, and there was more or less water, and there were wooden planks and other things that could float in the yard of their homes for them to hold.

One by one, desperately holding on to what could float, and letting the current carry them into the sea, just as they were waiting to die, a whole seven large ships one after the other sent out small boats, which were like leaves in the wind and waves.

From time to time, there are small boats that are overturned by the wind and waves, but the people on the boat are not afraid, slightly adjust the pulp, and the next wave will turn back, the boat is special, round, all made of wood, and there is a pendant below, as long as the wind and waves are not too big, it can be fixed on the water, and it is overturned, give a little strength, and the pendant will take the boat back over.

The people on the boat each brought a lot of pigs to blow bubbles, and one by one they had already blown them up, and they were covered with nets, and wooden sticks were tied to the nets for people to catch.

When you meet a person, you throw a pig to blow the bubble, let the person swim to the big boat, and the person who catches the pig blower and inserts the two arms, and it will be trapped, and there is no need to worry about sinking, even if there is no strength, it will still float on the water, and they can row towards the big boat vigorously.

If the big ship is not in a good position, it will take the initiative to rush to the shore in order to resist the storm and run aground there, so that it is not afraid of strong winds, and usually it will not be able to blow the ship over.

Before the state yamen of Lianzhou could react, many people were washed away by the water, and then people were rescued on the big boat, and one by one they were amazed by the big boat and grateful to the people on it, eating hot food, looking at the waves and heavy rain outside, and sighed.
