Chapter 9: Escape from the Cottage
Zhou Hao did not have a trace of surprise, this is a good opportunity to escape, the opportunity is not to be missed, time does not wait for me, hurriedly returned to the house, prepared his big wooden box, once there is a chance, he must escape from the cottage.
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of shoes outside the room, obviously running towards Zhou Hao's house.
Yang Yuyan pushed open the door and said, "My father asked you to hurry up to Dashipingchang." ”
Zhou Hao shouted that he was unlucky, and it seemed that he couldn't go out for a while, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Yang Yuyan said: "I don't know, where is so much nonsense, I won't know if I go." ”
Zhou Hao said secretly, such a sturdy woman can either, she is not married yet, she is okay if she is married, she can't raise her head if she doesn't bully herself, and she can't marry such a woman, she has to go.
"Okay!"
Zhou Hao put down the wooden box in his hand, came out of the room, and went straight to the big stone flat field.
Yang Yuyan shouted from behind, "Grab your spear." ”
When Zhou Hao heard this, it seemed that the former enemy was about to attack the cottage, so he turned around and picked up the jujube wood spear.
Dashiping Field is the place where the Dafeng Village drill team and the whole village collectively meet, and it is also the place where the wheat is beaten when it is ripe. At this time, there were hundreds of personnel, all dressed in strong uniforms, armed with large swords, spears, and various weapons.
Zhou Hao looked at the formation of the venue and knew that the situation was not good, in recent years, soldiers and bandits were rampant, there were too many local separatist forces, they annexed each other, and wars happened from time to time.
Yang Rong saw that Zhou Hao was coming, and Yang Yuyan also came quickly, so he said, "Xiao Zhou, now is the time to show your strength." ”
Zhou Hao said: "What's going on?" ”
Yang Tianrong sat on the top of the bluestone under a giant willow and said: "It may be that the horse thieves in the north colluded with the warlords, the capital was breached, and the various forces of King Qin in the north were defeated in the battle with Li Zi, and fled to the south. ”
Zhou Hao secretly thought that with less than 200 people in the cottage, he could block the enemy's attack, even if he assembled the advanced gun he brought, the thousand bullets would not be able to block it for long, so don't waste it, and flee if you can.
Yang Tianrong continued: "They sent someone to give me a war letter, saying that they would let their soldiers borrow here for a few days, and at the same time borrow 5,000 catties of grain. ”
Zhou Hao asked, "Where are their people now?" ”
Yang Tianrong said: "It's twenty or thirty miles away now." ”
Yang Tianrong told the soldiers about the essentials of guarding the cottage, but Zhou Hao secretly made up his mind to leave the cottage while the chaos was made, and after making a little money outside, he would buy a boat to find an island overseas.
Yang Yuyan said to Zhou Hao: "You, after a while, the enemy is coming, if you don't protect the cottage well, I will divorce you, and you don't want to inherit our Yang family's property." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Zhou Hao forcibly suppressed the fury in his heart and did not speak.
Not long after, the noise of people and horses came faintly, and Yang Tianrong said solemnly: "It's here." ”
Soon, a man in a strong suit came running in front of Yang Tianrong and said breathlessly: "Owner of the village, it's not good, a group of people outside the village let the door open and let them stay for a few days." ”
Yang Tianrong said: "Go and see." ”
Zhou Hao lifted the jujube wood spear and walked towards the gate of the cottage, and all the soldiers picked up their knives and guns one by one, ready to go to a fight.
Zhou Hao is waiting for every opportunity at any time, as long as there is a chance, he must escape.
The door of the entire cottage was closed, and the soldiers on the city wall were holding weapons one by one, knowing that the next moment was the time to fight.
Under the walls of the cottage, a team seems to have more than 1,000 people, but the appearance of the team is not neat, and it seems that it is a long-distance journey.
After all, Zhou Hao had long been accustomed to seeing the appearance of soldiers in the barracks, but he was not very frightened.
The person below came out of the crowd and pointed at Yang Tianrong with a horsewhip and said, "Your Excellency is Yang Tianrong, who is known as the 'Golden Eye Eagle' in the rivers and lakes." ”
Yang Tianrong was shocked, no one had called his name for more than 20 years, how did the other party know, so he said loudly: "It's the old man, forgive me for being clumsy, I can't see your origin, can you tell Wan'er." ”
The man looked scowled, and laughed indulgently: "Mr. Yang is really a noble man who forgets things, he was a dart master in your Yang family's dart game for a period of time thirty years ago, but you still owe fifty taels of silver." ”
Yang Tianrong exclaimed: "It turned out to be Jiang Qing, yes, Lao Tzu does owe you fifty taels of silver, I haven't seen you for decades, this guy is capable, I don't know where to get high in these decades, if you want Lao Tzu to pay back the money and come alone, there is no need to mobilize the people." ”
Thirty years ago, Yang Tianrong inherited his father's gale dart bureau, with the Yang family's unique marksmanship and swallowtail dart walking the rivers and lakes, Jiang Qing was a dart master of the gale dart bureau at that time, and then because the salary of fifty taels of silver a month was too low, Yang Tianrong proposed to raise the salary several times, Yang Tianrong did not agree, so he was angry and abandoned the dart.
Jiang Qingdao said: "Lao Tzu doesn't have to talk nonsense with you, borrow your cottage to let my soldiers live for a few days, and then lend me 5,000 catties of grain." ”
Yang Tianrong said: "There is not so much food in the mountain, and the cottage is too small, and it can't accommodate more than 1,000 soldiers and generals of Your Excellency, so let's find another place." ”
Jiang Qing laughed and said: "Let me tell you the truth, if you let me in, I will enter, if you don't let me in, I will enter, Lao Tzu's more than 1,000 soldiers still have to eat, you see, can you stop me with a hundred or so people, hahaha." ”
Yang Tianrong threw out with one hand, and a black object flew towards Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing flashed sideways, and the swallowtail dart was passing by.
Yang Tianrong missed with one blow, and dozens of swallowtail darts were thrown out in an instant, and the darts rushed straight towards Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing was still on the horse, swinging his knife to block the grid, only to hear a few sounds, and all the swallowtail darts fell to the ground.
Yang Tianrong said: "Twenty years old, kung fu is good, the old man is old, if it was twenty years ago, your dog would have died under Lao Tzu's dart." ”
Jiang Qing didn't answer Yang Tianrong's words, waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to say loudly: "Attack me!" ”
Suddenly, the boulder on the cottage rolled downward, and Yang Tianrong ordered his subordinates to release arrows.
The walls of Dafeng Village were originally built according to the mountain, and the boulder logs rolled down the slope and rushed straight to the soldiers.
After a while, a big man ran over and said to Yang Tianrong: "Oh no, the enemy is attacking from behind." ”
Yang Tianrong was furious and said, "That's it, I'm going to cottage for a long time!" ”
There was a big mess on the cottage, and Zhou Hao rushed to the room where he put his wooden box. He knew that the cottage would be breached sooner or later, and he never expected this day to come so quickly.
The door of the room was open, and the wooden box was still inside, Zhou Hao ripped off the curtain on the bed, covered the wooden box, and then lifted the box to prevent anyone from seeing that he was about to escape.
He knew that Yang Tianrong was fighting with the enemy in the cottage in front, and there were enemy attacks at the gate of the cottage, so Zhou Hao decided to jump down from the city wall.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao ran back to a side room and fetched a long rope hook.
At this time, the boulders and logs defending the city were almost exhausted, and the enemy soldiers were still attacking upwards, and it seemed that it would not be long before the cottage was occupied, and the more terrible enemy feinted in front and attacked from behind.
Yang Tianrong could only lift the spear and stab one to death.
In a cottage, on the city wall, Zhou Hao first hung the box from the city wall, and then hooked it on the wall with a rope hook, and slowly went down along the rope hook, and after a while, he landed on the ground.
This place is a deserted area, with rolling mountains and woods in front, and there is no one here due to the enemy attack on the two gates of the cottage.
only heard the sound of killing, Zhou Hao didn't care, and only walked towards the grove in front, knowing that this cottage would be captured in less than an hour.
Zhou Hao walked too quickly, and he didn't have a penny on his body, so he remembered that there were five steamed buns in his box, and when he opened the box, he saw that the entire white steamed bun had turned into a green hair and white beard at this time, obviously the weather was too hot and spoiled.
Walking outside the cottage, it is located in the southeast of Shandong, the gently undulating mountains continue to block people's sight, and there are several villages scattered in some places, most of them are deserted villages, there are not many people, Zhou Hao saw the social reality at the end of the Ming Dynasty for the first time.
Don't worry about whether there is anyone in the village or not, find some food to fill your stomach first.
Zhou Hao walked towards the nearest village. It wasn't until he entered the village that Zhou Hao found that many houses in the entire village had been burned down by the war, the streets in the village were empty, there was no one, and one or two dogs ran over from time to time. This is the countryside at the end of the Ming Dynasty in the era of war, Zhou Hao was very surprised, and began to search for food from house to house, but in the whole afternoon, almost the entire village was searched, and not even a grain of rice was found, only a few iron pots were in the house, and they were not taken away.
Zhou Hao thought to himself, this village must have been looted by soldiers and bandits at that time, otherwise it wouldn't be so desolate, and it wouldn't have starved to death here. The grand plan has not yet been realized, and the ambition has not yet been realized, and we must not die here.
By this time it was already dark, and he assembled a gun from his wooden box and decided to go out hunting, not believing that he could not find some food.
Zhou Hao brought the assembled pistol with him, and the bullets in it were good.
Out of the village, the fields had not been planted for almost a year or two, and the grass was all around, and it was spring, and the birdsong was endless.
This is the first time that Zhou Hao has hunted around in ancient times with modern weapons, looking at this ancient barren mountain, staying in a modern city for a long time, Zhou Hao has not felt that this is this original ancient spring for a long time.
Zhou Hao didn't have a trace of burden on his body at this time, this kind of complete relief, it seems that he hasn't felt it since he was born. In modern society, all kinds of survival pressures are pressed on oneself, there are parents at home who have ardent expectations, there are all kinds of training burdens in the military camp for a day, all kinds of complicated interpersonal relationships and life pressures in society, and now there is nothing.
At the beginning, the discomfort of coming to this era is long gone, and then I feel how lovely this era is.
Suddenly, a pheasant rose from the grass and scurried towards the distant hills.
"Good guys!"
Zhou Hao aimed a shot, and the pheasant fluttered a few times before falling to the ground. Zhou Hao was overjoyed, hurried over, picked up the pheasant, and took it back to the village, fortunately he had a box of matches in his box, and he could eat pheasant meat tonight.
