Zhu Zilong separated the crowd, squeezed in, and watched the excitement for a while before he understood what was going on.

It turned out that Jing was a small principal of the Caokou gang and the slender men who worked had a dispute, and for a while, the crowd was surging and scolded.

Looking at it again, it's even more surprising.

The two sides took out sticks and iron rulers from behind them, and rushed towards the opposite side in a swarm, just like a black X pair of slashing, and they fought.

As soon as the onlookers saw that the two sides really moved, for fear of accidental injury, they scattered with a bang, and then stopped to watch after hiding dozens of steps away, as did Zhu Zilong and his party.

The table tennis was lively in the field, and from time to time someone was injured and bleeding or fell to the ground.

Of course, their actions are not coordinated, and they win or lose based on numbers, but because the number of people is about the same now, they are evenly matched for a while.

From time to time, onlookers on the side explained the situation, and gradually Zhu Zilong and others also heard the black and white merits and demerits.

It wasn't until the officials and clan elders came nearby that this group of people who fought against each other stopped.

"Uncle Qi, this group of people, they used brute force, not to mention the grabbing of chips, and they also injured my brother. You have recruited them, and you are a senior, and you will give me justice in this matter today. ”

"Uncle Qi, this person is indeed the first to be beaten by us, but the person in Caokou is also the first to deceive others. If I want to go to the church to preach and condemn, I am not afraid of him, and I will bear everything alone. ”

The representatives of both sides are scrambling to reason, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable.

The ancestor who said it was angry in his heart for a while, and roared: "Enough! They are all begging for food on the canal, and there is a river in the north and south of the canal. What do you want the Tianjin Cao Gang to do? Since you have been introduced by me, I will not be able to keep you if you have caused such a big incident today. ”

Obviously, this Uncle Qi is still biased to the other side, the slender men lost the group beating, and they were squeezed again, and they lost their sharpness, and now they let the old man drink the guilt, and he was speechless and silent for a while.

When the officials arrived in groups, they didn't seem to be able to help, so the slender men had to help each other and leave.

Zhu Zilongyan looked in their direction, and when he reached the ground, he heard soft cries of pain coming from inside the sheds.

The slender men have the strength, but they don't have the money to see the injuries, the knife wounds are better, find some cloth and wrap them indiscriminately, this broken bone is not handled well, and they will be crippled.

The head of the slender man just now, nicknamed Pangolin, said to a wounded man: "Erwazi, bear with me, I will hire a doctor for you later." ”

The slender man of the second baby had a pale face, but he had to endure the pain of his head.

It's just that as soon as the pangolin touched his pocket, his face changed, and it would take at least one or two dollars to find a doctor, and he might not be cured. Where did you get so much money?

I have the heart to borrow something, but when I look at a fellow villager sitting dejectedly in a shack, I know that this is difficult.

Immediately, he could only hang his head, and his eyes were moist and said: "I also want to give everyone more work, who told those people to deceive people so much." How is it good now? ”

Right now!

Outside the shack, a hearty man's voice came, and he only heard: "This brother has a bold personality and is a good man, but there are many inappropriate things about Fang Cai's behavior." Children of the rivers and lakes, if there is any inconvenience, I am interested in helping! ”

While speaking, Zhu Zilong and his party got closer.

The slender men looked sideways, and the pangolin saw that Zhu Zilong and others were not like ordinary people, so he was vigilant, and then his heart moved, he hugged his fists and said: "The mountain is not high, there are immortals, and there are bold heroes coming, and they are happy." I should have invited him to come in and sit down, but the shack was crude, and I was afraid that people would dislike it. Thank you for your understanding! ”

Of course, this is not classical Chinese, but the jargon of the rivers and lakes.

Zhu Zilong couldn't help but glance at him more, but he smiled and came in directly.

A musty smell of sweat came to his nose, and he looked up to see that the roof was covered with branches on all sides, and some dry thatch was hung up, and the light leaked everywhere, and the light was not bad, and there were a few stones on the ground, and some planks and weeds were laid on them, and a long line of paving was made.

It's nice on a sunny day, but if it rains, it's going to be miserable!

Zhu Zilong looked like a scholar, so that the slender men sitting on the ground stood up one after another, greeted him, and saluted.

In the next second, Zhu Zilong said with a smile on his face: "You are all good men, you are not afraid of tyrants, and you have greatly increased the righteousness of the world. I like to hand over heroes the most in my life, if you don't dislike it, would you like to be a friend with me? ”

Most of the slender men are not powerful, and very few people will look up to them.

Zhu Zilong's words of equal staring at each other immediately made everyone feel that there was light on their faces, and they had a good impression of him. Even then I was moved!

At that moment, everyone brought stools to Zhu Zilong and his party, and used a few coarse porcelain bowls to bring well water and handed it to everyone.

Zhu Zilong is not tired of water, and drinks it all in one gulp.

Turning around, he said to a slender man who was rubbing the red and swollen legs: "Your injury is subcutaneous bleeding, just rub it as soon as you are injured, and it will swell into steamed buns after a while. Come, come, use my bone water first! ”

A group of slender men were all moved at once, feeling that Zhu Zilong, a scholar, did not have a little shelf, and he also cared about delivering medicine, so they all gathered around and reported each other's names.

For a while, the medicine here was steaming, and Zhu Zilong took out a small part of the medicine he brought with him, which was enough to save these people from injury and pain.

When they learned that Zhu Zilong was not only a scholar, but also a miracle doctor, the slender men admired it even more.

When they were young, they sat together.

Zhu Zilong began to act, and sighed: "In this world, it is not easy to live anywhere. Now that you have lost your territory, and everyone is injured, and you still have wives and children at home, how do you live? ”

When the pangolin heard this, he was already unhappy, so he patted his leg and said: "It's rare that Xiaoyou cares, it's really not good, I'll join the army." Anyway, I'm also a single, and I'm a slender man, and it's not good to be angry with this. ”

Immediately, several of the slender men responded.

But more of the slender men sighed silently, apparently they had families.

Regarding the relationship between these slender men and the Canal Cao Gang, Zhu Zilong knows a thing or two.

At this time, the Cao Gang was not a unified organization in later generations, in short, it was composed of people who relied on the canal to eat. Gangs are formed to confront officials and local snakes, and there are gangs in various places.

These individuals have been working in unison for many years, and they have endured hardships and their social status is not high. With a little training, you can become a candidate for a strong army. is not even weaker than the combat power of Ma Xiaosan and other henchmen!

Zhu Zilong was also moved, and he wanted to recruit talents, otherwise he would waste time here.

With the help of the difficult scriptures in every family, Zhu Zilong provoked their difficulties in a timely manner and made them think about each other for a long time.

Eventually, countless slender men began to pour out their bitterness on each other.

A slender man said in his life, a little sad and angry: "I used to dig in the soil, and I never dared to rest in a year, and when I finally collected the grain, I had to find a grain merchant to exchange it for silver and pay taxes." They used the 'entry name' to buy, and one stone cost more than 200 yuan, which is 70 or 80 yuan more than the official title. Let me wait for unspeakably miserable, except for the New Year, I can't eat a full meal. ”

Another interjected: "We're all fine, and we're here to be a porter after we lost it." Who doesn't know that there are many tenants, and in this world, they will receive grain today, and they will run out of grain tomorrow. The grain collected is not enough to repay the loan shark, a few people in a family, to be in a hurry, all hanged overnight abounds, every year is like this grinding, how can this land be planted? Alas! ”

Everyone heard that it was gloomy, it was difficult to farm, it was difficult to be a slender man, and being a soldier not only had to work hard, but it was also said that it was natural to be in arrears.

Where is the way for the common people to live?
