Chapter 614: Heading North (4)
Wrapped in a leather robe, Ruda walked through the snow with a bit of a wolf, and his goal was to climb to the summit of the mountain in front of him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the snow has stopped today, the sun rarely pokes its head out of the stratus clouds, illuminating the surrounding ice and snow is shining and dazzling, in the era of no PM2.5, today's visibility is unprecedentedly high, people with good eyesight, standing on the commanding heights, can even see the movement within a radius of more than ten miles.
The sunlight reflected too brightly on the snow, Ruda wore an eye patch made of a horse's tail to prevent snow blindness, panting and just climbing upwards, as a newly incorporated soldier in the sentry battalion, he was supposed to lead the way in front, but for some reason, now he could only follow slowly.
The reason for this is very simple, Luda is close to two meters tall, with a thick skeleton, long hands and long feet, stretching out two palms like two pu fans, climbing most of the mountain, the people in front are so tired that they pull the bellows and gasp for breath, although Luda is dragging behind, but he is not tired at all, this bit of road trail is simply insignificant for his amazing physical strength.
Just because he didn't want to exert any strength at all, the Luda family was originally a generation of Liao people in Xijing Datong Mansion under the Han people, the previous generation of Liao emperor Yelu Hongji to govern the leather room army, and part of its head was in the area of Xijing Datong Mansion, these emperor's leather room army at that time in addition to robbing the anointed land around Xijing Datong Mansion, but also those people who were attached to the land as their subordinates, since then the Luda family has been a semi-slave under the leather room military tent.
Although Ruda has always been half-starved since he was born, he doesn't know why he has grown so big, he has so much strength that he doesn't even know how big it is, but the farm work is scattered and scattered, and he just can't handle these delicate tasks. However, they have a shortage of farms and animals. I accidentally discovered that this big man could pull a plow to two cows. With such a strength, the man in charge of the farm looked at Ruda differently, and found a woman with a tumor in her neck to be his daughter-in-law.
There are people in the family who cook and wash, and the mother and son are also there, and they are still doing the work, although the days are still very hard, but they are barely a home, for Ruda, who has always been taciturn and can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks, it is already a rare warmth.
In this lower grange, the plough of a lifetime of being a cow and a horse-drawn plough is not straight for him, but it is the end of the world, this poor pursuit is not left to the people, the Jurchen rises, and the whirlwind generally destroys the Liao State, and those who are supported by the Han people and have been powerful all their lives are simply vulnerable to the Jurchen Tartars on the battlefield.
The Jurchen West Route Army entered the area of Xijing Datong Mansion, and the local ruling system also collapsed, and the chaotic army rose in all directions, looting and slaughtering everywhere, Luda's daughter-in-law died first, and his son who was born was born, with a big head, a big face, a big slap and a big foot, and he was born with eight catties, exactly the same as Luda.
The Jurchen Tartars passed by suddenly, burned and killed casually, the daughter-in-law and son were burned to death in the house together, Luda Laozi picked up the dung fork to protect his daughter-in-law and grandson, and was also easily killed by the Jurchen Tartars, Luda was listening to the order of the head of the village to carry the grain to the wild and hide it, and rushed back like crazy when he saw the fire, only to see that his tattered home had been burned to the ground, and the charred corpses of the three relatives who used to talk and laugh.
Luda picked up the grinding plate at the entrance of the village and chased it out, but only saw the Jurchen Tartars galloping away to roll up the smoke and dust, and vaguely saw a few ugly money rat tails swaying in the smoke and dust, and the frightened Zhuang Tou let everyone run for their lives, Luda alone pulled a big car from the Zhuang Tou's house, loaded with the old lady and a little rations, a few bare board leather jackets and other rags, and fled south with a large group of refugees.
On the way, the old lady was sick and starved to death, Ruda piled a grave on the side of the road, but found that he couldn't cry, his heart was empty, and he didn't know what to do to fill this empty block. It comes in handy when guarding against bandits and horse thieves.
But I didn't expect that Luda was worth three or four ordinary men for dinner, and hundreds of catties of stone mills could be easily manipulated, but when he wanted to do it, he was buried in his head and walked around, and several small groups of horse thieves attacked their fortress, Luda shrank on the wall, holding his head and not saying a word.
Just as he was about to send Luda away, wherever he starved to death, the Song army entered the clouds, and recruited strong and elite people in the walled forts that could be controlled everywhere, and that family just sent Luda over, Luda didn't say anything, let him do whatever he wanted, his body strength was really dazzling, and the little officer in charge of recruiting in the Liao Army took a fancy to it at a glance, and he didn't have time to practice.
The war in Yunnei broke out again, Han Shizhong went north, and ordered the selection of local elites to be incorporated into Han Shizhong's army as guides, as a sharp whistle, Luda is big, strong, listen to the order to do what others say, don't say a word on weekdays, but also escaped all the way from Xijing Datong Mansion, of course, as the most suitable elite to be selected into Han Shizhong's army.
No one knows that this big man is a kind of goods, who troubles him is to squat on the ground with his head in his hands, let others kick and beat, for Ruda, it is nothing more than another change of master, no matter who he does, he has lost his sense of the world, except for the empty space that can never be filled, there is nothing left, he walked up slowly for a while, and he heard a sound above his head, and a sergeant wearing only leather armor hurriedly retreated.
Although he has been away from his hometown in Shaanxi for several years, the blush of the two groups of old Shaanxi on his black face has not dissipated until now, he is about the same age as Luda, he is in his early thirties, and he is also very stout and sturdy, he can be called a big man on weekdays, but in front of Luda's size, he is simply petite.
He gasped and said to Luda: "Ancestor, you should be faster!" How much sin did we make to put such a living treasure on you? On weekdays, I eat the rations of the four of us, and I don't know how much slower than others in everything, so I thought he was a good soldier. I really went through this experience to know that it was a muddy soft egg! Hurry up and go to the heights to see how far we are from Yingzhou City Fortress in this chaotic mountain! ”
Ruda didn't raise his eyelids, but he still kept his slow movements, and he didn't care at all, the soldier was so angry that he was about to come out and set his hair on fire, but he was helpless, he came all the way, and with such a living treasure, he beat and beaten. Scolding and scolding. But for the big man, he scolded him and listened expressionlessly, and he was so angry that he pumped with the back of the knife, which was enough to beat a strong man down on weekdays, and fell on him as if nothing happened, and it shook his own hands as if nothing happened, and he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and beat him as much as you wanted, and he didn't want a blade or armor, just wore his daughter-in-law's own hand-made coat, sewed it out with his own hands, and lost his hair.
If it was originally recruited for the Song Army, there was no armor and these military resources to arm him, and now the Shence Army's own good goods are delivered to the door, and what kind of battle is there without blades and armor? He was hungry and would never beg for food, and would look straight to the north with straight eyes, two or three meals.
I really can't bear to let such a big man starve to death to beckon him over, and one meal can be worth four or five others, the army is full of pot-bellied men, looking at his appetite is scared like a toad that has been beaten by thunder, but he is not a fool, if you ask him where he goes, he can also tell you slowly, where this road leads now, where to go for a few days, if it is not still useful, this time I really want to spend some effort to admit the punishment, turn around and send him back.
The sergeant has been dealing with Ruda's rammer for a long time, and his cultivation has unconsciously improved a lot. At the moment, he could still hold back his anger, took out a wine gourd from his arms and handed it over: "Running out of strength?" Or is it cold? If it's cold, you can block the wine first, and if you are hungry, just endure it first, find a hidden place to regenerate the fire and burn the hot soup, and eat cold dry food in this weather, which is a sin. ”
Luda didn't refuse, took the wine gourd and ripped off the frozen stopper, and had to toss for a long time to change others, and the gourd was almost half a gourd, so distressed that the sergeant grinned, and the sergeant snatched the wine gourd back, and stuffed it into his arms, but pulled out a treasured treasure in his arms.
It is a temple to ask for a child to exorcise evil charms, the Liao people believe in Buddhism more than the Song people, the number of Buddhist temples is far more than ten times that of the Song people, what are the nobles called Bodhisattva slaves Guanyin slaves and the like abound, Luda They also have quite magnificent Buddhist temples in the countryside, and the living and enjoyment of the little novices are not worse than the Zhuangtou of the grange under their heads.
Luda's son was born, and under the leadership of his mother, he offered Song money that was almost 100 yuan and didn't know how long he had accumulated, so he invited such a talisman to exorcise evil spirits, which needs to be sent to people with strong yang energy, so as to ensure that the child exorcises evil spirits and grows up safely, the sergeant saw Luda's eyes fall on this talisman and hurriedly stuffed it back, maybe he thought of his son, and his eager expression eased down a lot, and said casually: "The little debt collector of my family, when he sent out the army, he was less than a month, and he always had night terrors, Helplessly, these murderous men also got to walk in front of the Buddha and did not accept money, got pure copper, and did not raise their eyelids, and it was enough to get this treasure twice! said that it was fostered to the person who was heavy on yang and evil, I thought about it, straight mother thief, who has a man who sent troops to release horses? The snoring in the pile of sleeping dead people is louder than the other, if there is any demon coming at me, don't look for my son! I don't dare to hold those little arms and legs, for fear that I will break if I exert myself! ”
As soon as he talked about his son, the sergeant couldn't stop a little, and Luda also listened stupidly, but the head of the man who walked in front couldn't help it, and turned around and scolded: "He Sanpo, the straight mother thief quickly dragged this ramming goods up!" The sergeant, whose nickname is He Sanpo, answered, and simply dragged Luda upwards to climb.
On weekdays, he can't talk about what Luda says, but today Luda has quickened his pace and kept up with his speed, He Sanpo didn't feel the change in this ramming, and continued to chant while pulling him up, he couldn't stop at all, as the elite of the old army, every time he went out on the expedition, he treated his own family as if he was dead, and the outpost has always been a job with a high casualty rate and had to rush to come, but this son has been thinking hard from beginning to end.
"I'm a lonely person, and the border military village that confronts the western thieves, who hasn't died in the family? Brothers like me died fine, I don't know how many sisters married far away, my mother died early, and I changed a few generals, who cares if you have a family? If you can close the salary to the letter, enough for you to go to a kiln, you have a heart...... In that place in Shaanxi, everything is more expensive than other places! Speaking of a daughter-in-law, I can't make up enough for my salary, and how can I give my daughter-in-law a home? Follow the generals one by one to fight with their lives, where they die, where they will be buried, anyway, our Shaanxi men's lives are not worth much, and those birds will go up to spill blood to death, just like splashing water! ”
"Let me tell you, hundreds of thousands of Shaanxi men sent troops a few years ago, from the south of the Yangtze River to the city of Yanjing, what kind of bird boy handsome, casually lost more than half of it, how many can return to their hometowns? It's with the current Xiao Yang general, no, it's time to call King Jin, but thinking of us soldiers, although the battle is harder, but King Jin can be on the front line and fight with our soldiers! ”
"And look, this armor, this blade, this mount, this food, which one is so worthy of the lord to our soldiers? When the food is down, my own family will get half of it, anyway, it's still the same sentence, our lives of the poor soldiers in Shaanxi are not worth much! We worked hard to lay down Yanjing for Zhao Guan's family, but before the butt was hot, we rushed to Hedong! Guarding the borderland, to set up a camp, to buy belongings, the straight lady thief is nothing, and the king of Jin has to make it up to us in Bianliangjing! Anyway, in that sentence, except for the King of Jin who treats us, in the eyes of other nobles, our soldiers are mud on the soles of our feet! ”
"I didn't expect to go to Hedong, there are good things, King Jin is really a living Bodhisattva, in addition to working hard to raise the army and set up a large camp, he also allocated a sum of money to us to start a family! It's not as good as following the king of Jin from Zhuozhou, and when it comes to me, there are also thirty runs, plus a house built in the camp in Ulzhou! With this, I said that the servant girls released by a few people's homes are not yellow flower girls, but what else can we poor soldiers want? ”
"Not to mention that my daughter-in-law still has dozens of belongings at home! I am also quick to do the work, I am guarding in the Yanmen camp, and the lord will be left to return to Ulzhou to marry, from front to back for only ten days, I am a deep plough and plough every night, to say that I am really good marksmanship, my daughter-in-law will bring it! ”
"I was born not long before I sent out the army, and I had time to go back and take a look, it's really my son, and it's me who has this eyebrow and eyes alive! I breathed a sigh of relief, don't you know that those birds in the camp are jealous of me, and they say those words, but they make me panic for a while, my son has it, and he has to go on the expedition, what else do you have to say? My family was given by the King of Jin, so what happened to the sale of this life to the King of Jin? (To be continued.) )
