SXCC County Chronicles: In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the weather was dry for a long time and there was no rain, the grass and trees were scorched, the land was thousands of miles away, the hungry people fled, and the starvation was all over the wilderness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The hungry people are urgent, everyone is angry, and they want to oppose the officials in order to survive.

In July, the famine became more severe, and the epidemic caused more and more people to die, "the grass and trees were exhausted, and people were cannibalized", and the peasants were "exhausted and could not save their lives". However, the imperial court and the governor of SX, Qiao Yingjia, not only did not reduce or reduce rents and provide relief to the victims, but instead increased the so-called "new salary" and "equal loss" and other servitudes, and strictly ordered officials to supervise and hold them accountable.

Thirty miles outside Baishui City, Wangjiazhuang, Wang Er buried his old lady with his own hands, standing in front of the old lady's grave with a hoe, looking sad and angry.

The eldest brother Wang died half a month ago, starved to death, the old lady was seriously ill, and there was no money for treatment, Wang Er's heart was like a knife. The seven-foot-tall man stood in front of the old lady's grave and burst into tears. Looking back at the barren grass and the dilapidated Wangjiazhuang, Wang Er's expression became more and more determined.

Looking up at the dim sky, although it was already summer, Wang Er still felt the bitter cold.

"Second boy, hurry up! If you don't leave, it's too late, the bunker Liu Si is coming, the last time you hit him, he won't give up. An old man came to Wang Er on crutches and said persuadingly: "Don't worry, we will take care of the graves of your mother and your eldest brother." ”

"Liu Si!" Thinking of that kid, Wang Er gritted his teeth, if he hadn't forced taxes and took the only rations from his own home, the eldest brother would not have starved to death, thinking of this, Wang Er felt sad and angry, and his hands were clenched into fists.

The old man sighed, he was an old showman, the only person with merit in Wangjiazhuang.

There are a lot of fields at home, or there are a lot of fields in Wangjiazhuang, but there are no days and years, and there are droughts year after year, and there is no harvest. The seeds were planted with hope, but there was still no harvest, and the land was barren, and it was impossible to sell the land if it wanted to.

Wang Er looked at the old man, and said in a hoarse voice: "Third uncle, is there still a way to live in this world?" Natural disasters have been going on for many years, we are going to starve to death, the imperial court not only does not allocate funds for disaster relief, but also forces donations and taxes, there is no way to live, we can't live! ”

Although the words were asking the old man, Wang Er seemed to be asking himself again, and he also gave himself an answer.

Glancing at the old man, Wang Er raised his head and said, "Second uncle, take the old and young people in the village to hide in the mountains, and I will take the young people in the village to find food." In any case, we can't wait for death like this, the court won't let us live, so let's find our own way to live. ”

The old man looked at Wang Er, his body trembled, a flash of horror flashed in his eyes, and finally sighed: "The officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel, you are right, you can't wait like this any longer, everyone will starve to death at that time, but you have to be careful, understand?" ”

Wang Er nodded, and shook the hoe in his hand vigorously: "Second uncle, don't worry!" ”

Wangjiazhuang soon moved, helping the old and the young to walk into the mountain, in order to avoid the local soldiers in the county who forced taxes, it was not the first time they had entered the mountain, but it was also orderly. With his family, pots and pans, he went into the mountains.

There are also thatched houses that they have built long ago, and there are caves, so they don't have to worry about a place to live.

Looking at the ragged people, Wang Er walked straight back to his house, the house was already empty, Wang Er kicked the door open, went straight to the room, reached out and picked up a pig-killing knife from the stove, his hands were a little trembling.

Walking to the outside and taking the grinding stone, Wang Er began to sharpen his knife, his eyes became more and more fierce, and his hands became more and more forceful.

Soon, the people in the village were almost gone, Wang Er stood up, looked at the dozen young men at the door, gritted his teeth and said, "Second Uncle told you, right?" Since God can't let us live, then we have to live by ourselves! ”

"Second brother, what do you say, let's follow you!" A young man said loudly.

"That's right, second brother, what do you say, let's follow you!"

Wang Er nodded and said: "We can't watch our father and mother starve to death, otherwise we are not worthy of being a person, let's steal, rob, and let my father and aunt eat, wait for Liu Si to come, let's do them." ”

Although he knew that Wang Er was going to do something, and it was definitely not a trivial matter, no one thought that Wang Er would be ready to kill someone. They originally thought that stealing or robbing things, but they didn't expect Wang Er to kill people when he opened his mouth!

"What's wrong? Scared? Wang Shuangzhong held the knife in his hand and said directly: "Now everyone has nothing to eat, we have no place to steal, and there is no place to rob, but Liu Si has money, his family has food, we killed Liu Si, and then we went to his house, robbed his grain, robbed him of his money, and then hid in the mountains." ”

"We're in the grass!" Wang Er said loudly: "When the time comes, it is better to kill officials and rob food than to wait here to starve to death." ”

Everyone glanced at each other and nodded, there was no food in the house, and if they waited any longer, they would starve to death, so they simply listened to Second Brother Wang.

"Okay, Second Brother Wang, we all listen to you, let's go home and get the guy!" Everyone nodded, and then they went back to prepare for their fellows. Kitchen knives, hoes, sickles, soon everyone gathered at the entrance of the village.

"Listen to me, wait a minute, Liu Si is here, everyone will rush up, do you hear?" Wang Er was also a little nervous, but he still had to set an example for everyone, and try not to make his voice tremble when he spoke.

didn't wait long, Liu Si appeared on the road with the native soldiers from the four counties, and Zhao Si also rode a donkey.

When Wang Er saw this scene, he said to the people around him: "You wait here, you two follow me!" As he spoke, he walked towards Liu Si with two young men holding kitchen knives and sickles.

"Yo, I'm still a little guts, I didn't run!" Liu Si got off the donkey and saw that Wang Er was with people, but he had no fear, and there were native soldiers behind him. The native soldiers all had the guys in their hands, two with knives, and two with spears in their hands.

"Liu Si, I told you a long time ago, there is no food in the village, hurry up and get out of me!" Wang Er pointed at Liu Si and scolded.

Seeing Wang Er scolding himself, Liu Si suddenly became angry, and said to the native soldiers behind him: "Do you see it, do you see it?" This is how this group of Diao people resisted taxes, and they dared to openly oppose the imperial court, do you want to rebel? ”

Wang Er stared at Liu Si, and when he heard him say this, he directly answered: "That's right, I just want to rebel!" Saying that, he took a step forward directly, and he didn't talk nonsense, and the pig-killing knife in his hand directly stabbed Liu Si in the stomach.

Blood suddenly shot out, Liu Si looked at Wang Er in disbelief, but what he met was Wang Er's crazy eyes.
