Chapter 1: The Ancient Road Robbers
On the bleak ancient road, a yellow-faced and thin-skinned man came, the man was barefoot and brown, and his broken sleeves no longer bound his arms, like a banner far behind him, as if he was a devil following behind him, and he was so frightened that he shouted loudly to his companions.
"Boss! Top dog! ”
Hearing the cries of his companions, several sallow-faced heads poked out of the grass by the roadside, and a man in the lead scolded and said, "What are the damn monkeys yelling about?" It's like a howl! Boss, haven't I starved to death yet? ”
The man, who was called the monkey, stuck out his tongue and saw his companion clearly, and "stumbled" into the grass where his bronze companion was, and gasped for breath with his hands on his knees, and seven or eight ragged companions immediately surrounded him with concern.
The thin monkey didn't even out his breath, so he panted and said, "Come on...... Come on...... It's definitely easy to start with a woman with a baby...... We robbed the property...... And then...... And then...... Let that woman be the wife of our boss. ”
The boss slapped the thin monkey's sharp-beaked monkey's head on the head, with one hand on his waist, as if this could show the boss's temperament, and scolded: "Although the boss is about to starve to death, can he just grab a cat and a dog to be his wife?" Really, the boss is leading you to rebel, not to be a robber...... After speaking, this broken household rolled his eyelids, as if he had passed Guan Yunchang and Yue Pengju in his temperament.
The thin monkey frowned, slapped the horse's ass on the horse's leg, grabbed his ears and laughed: "Yes, the boss is right, we are rebels, not robbers!"
The boss was thinking, "A half-aged with a baby, can he still look at it?" But he couldn't help the anticipation in his heart, after all, food, men and women, Confucius couldn't avoid the question, he showed a lewd expression, and asked eagerly: "Is it beautiful?" Brother Monkey? ”
The thin monkey was stunned, the boss is like this, the preface does not match the afterword, which is unpredictable. immediately changed his tone and complimented: "Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, can I still see the monkey?" ”
This group of people, originally from the same village, are familiar with each other, the village suffered from the slaughter and burning of the rebels, so a few people ran out, there was no food or drink, so everyone elected this tall and arm "boss" as the boss, and also wanted to follow the example of others to rise up and occupy the mountain as the king.
Everyone has been lurking in the grass for almost a day, and the passers-by are not the only ones? However, although there were many people, it was the first time after all, and the pedestrians they met were followed by strong men, and they definitely did not have the courage. Even if I occasionally met a lone man, I was afraid that I would not be able to defeat him, so I let it go, and when I heard that a pair of women and children came over this time, they all thought that the emperor lived up to his wishes, and the most suitable robbery object appeared, and the crowd immediately rose.
A few idlers immediately coaxed with a hippie smile: "Grab it, be our boss's daughter-in-law." "Yes, let's be the woman of the village."
Anyway, this group of people lacks everything, lack of food, lack of weapons, lack of guts, so looking at it, the boss still lacks a wife, and everyone still lacks a sister-in-law, which makes people feel even more shabby.
"I ...... I disagree."
The white man in the crowd wearing a shabby Confucian shirt looked frightened, shaking a broken feather fan with only two feathers in his hand, although the early spring is still cold, and the feather fan is shabby enough, but he is a scholar, how can he insult Sven?
Ru Yi stopped: "Uncle Bo Yi Qi starved to death and did not eat Zhou Su, although we are poor, after all, we are the people of His Majesty Dayuan, Confucius said, ......"
When the thin monkey heard this, he immediately became impatient, and interrupted the Confucian student's words: "Okay, sour Xiucai, I will treat myself as the emperor's people, and the emperor will take us as my people?" In the eyes of the Han people, we are just fourth-class pariahs, lambs slaughtered at will. If there is chaos today, and the heroes rise together, where will I have any way to live? We should follow Liu Futong, Zhang Jiusi, and Fang Guzhen to create his rebellion against the old man of Beimeng! ”
The boss at the head was full of joy when he heard this, and when he saw that the thin monkey said that the crowd was excited, that is, when the morale was available, he echoed loudly: "Yes, why do people eat meat and our brothers drink the northwest wind?" The few people who the monkey was talking about just now didn't rebel, and there is no need for our buddies to be in good condition, the eldest brother is to lead you to rebel against the lord of Beimeng - brothers, follow the eldest brother, rob the gold and silver, and buy meat for you to eat. ”
Saying that the "boss" was about to drill out of the grass, the thin monkey grabbed the boss, handed over a rusty notched kitchen knife, and said flatteringly: "Big brother, your blade." ”
The boss took the rusty kitchen knife, tested the notched blade with his thumb, and looked at the brother who was holding the stone and wooden stick behind him, very helpless.
The Mengyuan court forbade the Han people to possess weapons, forbade the Han people to herd horses, forbade the Han people to hunt, and the ten households shared a kitchen knife, and also had to pay the so-called knife sharpening tax regularly, which was the only iron tool for their group, or the thin monkey pulled out of the ruins of the village.
"Brothers," the boss shouted, and more than a dozen idlers immediately echoed: "Here! ”
The boss waved the kitchen knife in his hand to boost morale and said, "See? Big brother will take you today, with this kitchen knife to fight the world, brothers don't have to envy the kitchen knife in the boss's hand, wait for the big brother and I to win the world, give each of you a kitchen knife......"
The thin monkey is the boss, and said with a wry smile: "Boss, the brothers have worked hard to fight the world with you, and when you win the world, you will send a kitchen knife to the brothers, isn't it a bit ......?"
The boss touched his head, and he also felt a little slip of the tongue, but what was wrong, and he couldn't say it, so he asked the thin monkey in an inquiring tone: "A little, a little bit of a slam on the door, huh?" ”
The consciousness of the idle people is still in the beautiful vision of the boss "sitting in the world", and they have echoed it: "Yes, it's a bit picky!" ”
"Yes!"
"Isn't it!"
But the boss is an illiterate farmer, and he doesn't know what promise he should make to the brothers, so he has to prevaricate: "The eldest brother is a righteous man, and if the eldest brother eats a bite, it is absolutely indispensable to the brothers, brothers, stop talking nonsense, and go out with the boss to break the enemy." "Take the brothers and go up together.
After all, it is an ignorant and broken household, and the words are so out of tune, and robbing a woman and children is still said to be presentable.
"Big brother!" Na Xiucai sighed and said, "Xiao Ke thinks this is impossible!" ”
"Oh, what?" The boss rolled his eyes impatiently: "Isn't it just a robbery?" It should be rushed, how can a crooked chirp become a big thing? ”
The thin monkey was even more excited, and scolded: "Sour Xiucai, don't play like this, the boss and I have finally boosted the morale of the brothers, and you have deflated everyone with a "don't". Can today's catastrophe be fought? After a while, the brothers will be bored with it, maybe they will all leave, who else will the boss go to? ”
Don't look at the old man, he is tall and big, and he speaks very imposingly, but he knows how empty his heart is, and he knows that he is like this, and his courage is finally broken: "Xiucai, what do you mean?" Wait for a day to meet a suitable target for robbery, will this robbery not be fought? The brothers are starving to death, can't this be? ”
Xiucai stroked his cooing belly, and his face turned red: "Boss, I didn't mean that, grandson said: 'Go to the army and plan'......"
The old man snorted and scolded: "Which grandson said, don't we have food and don't let us rob?" This grandson is so grandson."
Xiucai knew that he couldn't make sense of the boss, so he had to explain: "It's not good for some of us to rush over and scare people away." I mean by stratagem, to make sure nothing goes wrong. “
"Hey" the boss smiled awkwardly, "Damn, don't you say it earlier, the eldest brother still thinks that the grandson won't let the eldest brother rob, tell me, what kind of scheme?" ”
"Let's divide into two pairs, flank the front and back, and then send someone forward, pretend to ask for directions to confuse them, see the opportunity, and do it together before and after, so that he can't run."
"Hehe, a reader is a reader, this evil in my heart, good strategy, good strategy, let's just do it!" The boss felt that what Xiucai said was reasonable, and immediately made a decision, so the question is, "Who will confuse the enemy?" ”
"yes? Who's going to go? ”
Everyone is a simple farmer, if they hug each other, it is okay, they can be brave to each other, but they have to act alone, but they don't have the courage, everyone looks at each other, and finally their eyes fall on the boss.
The boss knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to roll his eyes and scold: "These people are unrighteous! But after all, he is the boss, so he continued in a thoughtful manner: "This is a dangerous thing, naturally the eldest brother and I went, okay, people are coming." That Xiucai, you take a few people from behind, monkey, you take two people to the front, listen to the big brother's orders, and the big brother will teach you what rebellion is! ”
"Hmmm! Big brother is like that! ”
"Big brother is mighty!"
……
Let's say that the woman took an eleven or twelve-year-old boy along the road to the south, and suddenly saw a tall and arm-tall pedestrian in front of her, in the wilderness, without the village in front of the village or behind the shop, and the man had nothing in his hand, and he could not help but be alert in his heart, and reached out to touch the bricks in the baggage.
Sure enough, when the man came closer, his face was a little flustered, and he stepped forward with a long bow: "I'm bothering this lady, dare to ask how to go?" ”
The woman secretly laughed at the thief's lame methods, how far away is this from the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty more than 108,000 miles? How can there be any reason to ask for directions here? Besides, this road is not right, not far behind the Yellow River, normally you should take a boat, along the Yellow River into the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, so that is the closest and convenient road.
The woman also saluted: "The women are not locals, I don't know where most of them are, you better ask others." After that, he had to go.
What dynasty's people don't even know their own capital? Isn't this blatant deception!
The boss had seen it from a distance at this time, and Xiucai led someone to quietly touch the woman, how could he give up like this, and stopped the woman again: "The Sprinkler family is thirsty, dare to ask if there is a place to rest nearby?" ”
The woman didn't turn her face well, and said angrily: "You man is really annoying, and I'm not a local, so I don't know if I ask!" ”
The woman faintly heard footsteps behind her, and knew that the thief had already begun to move, and had the intention to lead the child to take the road away, but the man in front of her was really tall, full of 1.80 meters, she bought a flaw, pointed behind the man, and exclaimed: "What is that?" ”
"Huh?" The boss saw that the show behind the woman was about to succeed, could it be that the monkey in front of him appeared in advance? I couldn't help but turn my head sharply.
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, the boss felt that the sky was full of small stars, very dazzling, and the back of his head was hot and painful, as if someone had slapped a brick. He wanted to look back, but his body, which was as majestic as a mountain, collapsed as if he was drunk.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
The idlers panicked for a while, watching the boss's body fall.
