Chapter 1 Kidnapping
After nearly two hours, Wu Fanhui encountered a catastrophe of life and death, although he cursed heaven and earth, cursed the immortals, and thought that all the scolding in his mind was scolded, and it was impossible to change the current situation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The arms tied behind him were a little numb, his body became stiff, and the coarse cloth and short clothes on his body emitted a foul smell of sweat, and I don't know how many times I was rinsed with sweat and tears.
The memory was completely left, and Wu Fanhui took it all, but this slightly pale memory made Wu Fanhui even more desperate.
Wu Fanhui traveled to the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, to Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province, the most barren county in the Ming Dynasty, and to the body of a thirteen-year-old boy with the same name and surname.
The dead teenager Wu Fanhui, the family background is average, after a few hundred years, the rich peasants are not counted, Mizhi County has nine droughts in ten years, disasters and famines, the people are struggling on the death line, they can't eat enough and don't warm up, it's very good to survive, when they just crossed, Wu Fanhui received the memory of the teenager, the biggest feeling is hunger, and the biggest wish is to be able to eat a full meal of rice cakes.
Wu Fanhui never dreamed that the boy who was kidnapped, the most fearful thing in his memory was not life and death, but having a full meal.
This shows that the young Wu Fanhui's family background is not good at all.
Thin arms, an underdeveloped body, a deflated belly, unkempt hair, a dirty face, and a pitiful amount of knowledge and understanding in his mind were all the "legacies" that Wu Fanhui could accept.
From hundreds of years later to hundreds of years ago, it is rarer than winning the lottery, which makes Wu Fanhui, who was a civil servant in his previous life and was not confused, not only have an unpredictable emotion.
There is no adaptation period, no smiling, no pretentiousness, Wu Fanhui instantly became the lowest grassroots in the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the kind of grassroots that no one pays attention to when they die and no one cares about them when they are alive, except for his parents and family.
The whole province of Shaanxi in the first year of Chongzhen has long been turbulent, with years of natural disasters and barren land, so that this land of the rise of Qin has been **** again and again, and the people who can't survive are forced to fall into the grass, or rise up, and start to fight desperately for survival.
Wu Fanhui was kidnapped by the bandits who fell into the grass.
With a family like his, it is easiest to become the target of being kidnapped.
Although he couldn't eat enough, he finally had a little food at home, and he didn't starve to death.
The real rich families in Mizhi County are almost all squire families, there are not many such families, there are less than ten households in the county, these families are very powerful, and they are specially protected by the government, and the bandits dare not provoke these families, they have not yet had the courage to fight against the government, and their target is the ordinary peasant families who seem to have slightly better conditions.
Kidnapping the children of these peasant families in exchange for money and food to survive is the livelihood of the bandits.
Most of the bandits are locals, and their conscience is almost completely extinguished by relentless hunger, and these bandits are familiar with the situation in their own towns and villages, and they provide information for other bandits from other villages to do it, or just do it themselves, anyway, as long as they can get money, food, and enough food and drink to live, they don't care about the rest.
The bandits' requirements are not very high, if they can get three or five buckets of millet, or hundreds of copper coins, they will release people, after all, killing people is not their original intention, and every time they kidnap tickets, they will not be able to do it.
Poverty makes the farmers of Mizhi become cautious, they hide the little poor food and money, not to mention the bandits, even the family members can't find it, the bandits can't get any money and food when they rob the house, only by kidnapping the ticket, can also force those farmers to take out the pitiful food and money.
The government did not care about these bandits at all, and at this moment, even the peasants in Shaanxi, who had already begun to rebel, did not attract special attention from the government, and the officials at all levels wanted to report safety.
Wu Fanhui was kidnapped by Ah Niu from the same village.
A Niu name Wu Guigui, six years older than Wu Fanhui, less than 20 years old, authentic Shaanxi Yan'an Prefecture Mizhi County Ma'anshan Village, at the end of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, parents starved to death, the county government officials still came to force the payment of taxes, Wu Guigui was angry and gathered three young people in the village, fell into the grass, and began to rob the house.
At first, Wu Guigui went to other villages and towns to make a living, and was unwilling to do anything to the villagers in his village, but they soon found that it was not so easy to be a bandit, and there were more than ten bandits of all sizes in Mizhi County, all of which had their own territory.
So Wu Guigui returned to Ma'anshan Village and started to eat the grass by the nest as a rabbit.
Ma'anshan Village is close to the county seat, less than ten miles away from the county seat, there are slightly more households, and there are some peasant households with slightly better conditions, and the bandits from other places do not know the situation here and dare not do it.
Unable to bear it, the local and nearby villages and towns also asked for help from the elders and Li Zheng in the village, and even went to the county government to complain, but unfortunately no one cared about these things at all.
Once, I don't know if the lord of the county government was kind, and sent the county government's catchers to the village to investigate Wu Guigui's affairs, but these catchers not only did not arrest Wu Guigui, but instead blackmailed the farmers in the village, making the farmers worse.
This made Wu Precious even more bold, and even sent people to boast in the village that he had a friendship with a certain person in the patrol house, and the government would not care about him, and the honest peasants were even more silent, so they could only ask the Bodhisattva for their blessing and not let Wu Precious keep an eye on his family.
Ma'anshan Village has two surnames, Wang and Wu, living in a village and town for many years, and they have some friendship with each other.
However, Wu Guigui's conscience has not been completely extinguished, and one thing that is manifested is that he has never killed anyone, and every time after kidnapping tickets, Wu Guigui will send someone to the farmer's house to ask for money and food, and his appetite will not be very big.
After thinking about these things clearly, Wu Fanhui finally understood why the kidnapped teenager thought of eating a meal of rice cakes in his mind, instead of thinking that his life was in danger after being kidnapped.
In fact, the young Wu Fanhui and Wu Guigui are acquainted, the two families live in the same village, and they are not very far from each other, Wu Fanhui was a child, and he also followed Wu Guigui to herd sheep, the land of poor mountains and bad waters, the conditions are too difficult, the barren land cannot support too many people, there are not many children in the village, and even fewer can really survive.
At that time, there were dozens of children in Ma'anshan Village, and they were all familiar with each other.
What Wu Fanhui didn't expect was that Wu Guigui, who kidnapped him, was also nervous at the moment.
Maybe it's because it's too familiar, the reaction of the young Wu Fanhui after being kidnapped also made Wu Guigui and others very annoyed, probably because Wu Fanhui's physique is not very good, or he has suffered a lot of fright, after being tied up, after crying for a short time, he actually held his breath.
Once encountering such a situation, the possibility of the death of the kidnapped person is very high, in that case, not only can not get the extorted money and food, but also may arouse the attention of the elderly and Li Zheng, and even trigger the pursuit of the government, forced to flee for a period of time.
The days of fleeing are very hard, during this period of time, Wu Guigui heard that there are some outlaws who do not want to die in various parts of Yan'an Mansion, these people are working against the government, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and even dare to attack the county and the state city, rob the money and food of the government, and kill the lord of the state and county government, this is a lifeless deed, and if you catch it, you will die, and it is much more dangerous than being a bandit.
Wu Guigui and the others didn't want to be caught in such a team, so they also followed to be outlaws.
Fortunately, the young Wu Fanhui did not hold his breath for a long time and soon woke up.
This made Wu Guigui breathe a great sigh of relief, but unfortunately this breath was not sent for too long.
Wu Fanhui, who woke up, looked very different from before he held his breath, he didn't continue to cry, nor did he show fear, but opened his mouth to speak, and his attitude was very intense, as if he was scolding, and Wu Guigui didn't even understand some of the words he said.
As a bandit, Wu Guigui was frightened by Wu Fanhui's performance.
They are all native people, this Wu Fanhui is timid and afraid, and he is cowering on weekdays, if it weren't for the point that there was no way this time, Wu Guigui would not have tied up Wu Fanhui.
Tie up the ticket Wu Fanhui, Wu Guigui didn't even have to use a rope, he shouted a few words loudly, this Wu Fanhui shrank into a ball, and let him dispose of it, but tying up meat tickets is the rule of bandits, so Wu Guigui will use the rope.
Wu's precious fear and worry mainly come from a legend that has been passed down for a long time.
The land of poor mountains and bad waters, suffering from famine year after year, farmers worship God and pray for Buddha is very common, a certain family appears a scholar, even if it is just a show, it is also considered to be the heavenly Wenqu star descending to earth, there are many stories spread among the farmers, someone has a chance, the test is even lifted, if the performance is always very good, that is to get the favor of Guanyin Bodhisattva, wake up the identity of the Wenqu star, someone is silent on weekdays, looks very ordinary, and the same test Xiucai is even lifted, That was also the favor of Guanyin Bodhisattva, possessed by the gods, and soared into the sky from then on.
For a full hour, Wu Guigui has been paying attention to Wu Fanhui's performance, his expression is highly nervous, he doesn't know why Wu Fanhui has changed so much, could it be that Wu Fanhui has been favored by Guanyin Bodhisattva for a while, and has benefited.
Although his appearance has not changed in the slightest, Wu Fanhui's temperament is completely different, and he is more prosperous than the elders and Li Zheng in the village.
Wu Guigui's heart was highly tense.
Such a person must not be provoked, and if he offends such a person, he will be struck by thunder and thunder from the sky, and he will not be able to live in peace after death, and he will go to the eighteenth layer of hell, and he will not be qualified to be reincarnated as a human being.
