Chapter 31: Wang Da who just wants to farm
Wang Da was originally just an ordinary person in Danshui County, a forty-year-old strong man, a family of four, an old and a young man, his wife and his own four people, and his life was originally alive. Wang Da didn't think about why such a hard life was, anyway, he just felt that it had always been like this, and it would still be like this in the future, Wang Da didn't have any other thoughts. The government is still so oppressive to them, the officials are still so harsh, and they have worked hard to cultivate the land for a year, which is barely enough to pay taxes, but Wang Da has always lived like this. Suddenly, at the end of this year, a heavy rain for several months and the absolute mention of Danshui made Wang Da end this hard time, his wife and children were swept away by the flood in their sleep, only Wang Da desperately held the old mother and pulled the only wooden stake in the house, which was not washed away. It's a pity that Wang Da's hard days are over, ushering in a miserable and inhumane time, there is no food, and there is not a grain of grain within a radius of dozens of miles. Thousands of people kept walking west with half their feet in the water, hoping to get out of the flooding and go into the city to get something to eat. It's a pity that the government closed the city gates and didn't send anyone out to speak, so they let Wang Da's nearly 10,000 people starve and cry out under the city. Wang Da was uncomfortable, his mother had not eaten for three days, and Wang Da was also hungry. The people around were empty-handed, without any food, Wang Da saw two teams of young people quietly holding their children out of the crowd, walking far into the woods, and then each holding a child who was not their own child came back, the next day the two families suddenly looked bright, but a sad face, the child in his arms was gone, Wang Da knew, this is Yi Zi and eat.
Wang Da lay on the ground and watched his mother stop breathing, and he didn't have the strength to cry loudly, and the people around him saw Wang Da's old mother die, all of them were stunned and had no expression. Wang Da didn't understand, why the officials in the city were reluctant to give out even a little bit of food, I heard that their meals were all delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the cases were all big fish and meat that could not be eaten, and if they couldn't finish eating, they would be casually thrown to the dogs to eat, rotten in the ditch, Wang Da suddenly felt that he was willing to be the dog in the official mansion, at least the meals had bones to eat. I don't know who shouted first, to break the city gate and rush in, there is a mountain of food in the city, and then the people around are talking about it. The crowd who were originally hungry and quiet didn't know where the strength came from, and they all shouted and screamed, which made Wang Da also enthusiastic and angry. Yes, why are they big fish and meat, and I don't see them planting fields and picking mulberries, why are they all dressed in silk and satin, but they are not clothed. Wang Da was also angry, shouted with the crowd, and rushed forward together, a few simple bamboos could actually climb the city wall, although when Wang Da came to the city, the ground was already like a mountain of corpses.
Wang Da waved a broken spear picked up on the wall, just like wielding a hoe to dig the ground, but it was a human head, and unconsciously Wang Da was followed by a group of people, a large group. Wang Da asked them what they were asking to follow themselves, and they said Wang Da, you are amazing, take us to find food. Wang Da looked at the simple faces in anticipation, nodded, and said to go to the county government. A group of people opened the city gate, rushed into the county government, opened the granary, Wang Da laughed, a lot of food, haha, watching the crowd rolling in the grain pile, Wang Da also grabbed a handful of rice and threw it into the air, there is something to eat.
Wang Da organized a team of young people to patrol, recently there are always people doing something despicable, and the food has been distributed uniformly, originally some people did not agree, but Wang Da also had a big fist, and cleaned up those people one by one. Many people have gone out of the city, it is said that they will go west, there are fifty or sixty thousand people gathered on the champion's side, and the dog officials in Yuxian County have also been killed by the people, and now they are sent to Nanxiang. Otherwise, you can only break into Hanzhong County, I heard that the adult over there is a good official, and many people say so after coming back from Hanzhong. Wang Da sighed, life was still very good in the past, but after the general came, he always paid taxes at every turn, and he didn't arrest corrupt officials, so life was difficult, I really hope to have a good official like Hanzhong.
The food in the county is also slowly decreasing, Wang Da gathered a few heads together, discussed what to do, always sitting empty in the city like this is not a thing, everyone wants to go home and farm. But someone said again, now that the official master has been killed by us, can the adults of Wancheng still let us go? As soon as he said this, Wang Da was also a little scared, now that the whole family is dead, he is the only one left in the Wang family, and Wang Da still wants to go back and marry another mother-in-law and have a baby, so as to inherit the Wang family. After rushing into the county seat, the others gave the county lord's little mother-in-law to Wang Da. Wang Da twisted this girl's white-faced steamed buns like a tender and tender big *, Wang Da was very useful, but Wang Da still felt that it was still his mother-in-law who used to be good and could work, unlike this, walking swaying and unsteady.
There are thousands of people in the city, although the flood flooded into the city, but it receded in five or six days, it is said that the Lord of Hanzhong asked people to dig a huge canal on their side, they were digging before, and now the water is coming, just enough to use, and the water is put in the Han water. The water in the city has just receded, the lord of Hanzhong is really a good man, Wang Da really wants to meet him, and he will have capital to brag about it in the future. There are also a lot of poor people in the city, and they are very afraid of Wang Da, a group of people who rushed in from the outside, Wang Da is very strange, and we don't rob you, what are you afraid of? Later, someone said that the officers and soldiers were coming, and they wanted to kill these thieves who killed the officials. Wang Da was very sad, he was not a thief, he was just hungry, he just wanted to farm.
Everyone had no idea, and they lived in the city for two more days, and suddenly heard that tens of thousands of people on the champion's side rushed to the north and went to Nanxiang County. In the past two days, more and more people have come from the east bank of Danshui, it is said that the lord of Wancheng has 5,000 troops in Deng County, and when he retreats, he will come to kill people, and everyone is more and more afraid. They all came to ask Wang Da what to do, what can Wang Da Neng do, why don't you go to Hanzhong, the lord there is a good person, maybe he won't kill us.
So everyone hurriedly packed up their things, these things were all snatched from the old man's mansion, some grabbed the cloth, some took a lot of bowls, but it was beautiful. Wang Da kicked away the ladies of this county master, it's not good, in the future, I want to ask others to find one in the countryside and have a good baby to farm, don't do this. There are still three or four thousand people like this, and everyone is going to follow Wang Da out of the city and go to Hanzhong. Wang Da walked in front, riding the horse of the county lord, Wang Da and the others just came out of the city gate, and they heard a rumbling thunder, which became louder and louder. Wang scolded, do you want anyone to live, do you want to go down? But Wang Da looked up and saw that there were no clouds in the sky, and suddenly the horse under the throne began to move, and Wang Da held it tightly and kept scolding the beast.
After a while, I saw that the black pressure in the west direction was all horses, a lot of horses, that momentum, that scene, Wang Da thought that if he could still live this time, no one would be able to brag about himself in the future, who had seen such a large formation of cavalry, it was too majestic. Suddenly, the people behind him began to run around, shouting that the officers and soldiers were coming while running, run.
Wang Da didn't run, it's not that he can't run, he rides a horse, he always runs faster than others, but he doesn't want to run, what's the point, he just wants to farm. Wang Da jumped off the county lord's horse, knelt on the ground, and looked up at the cavalry a little, hey, the cavalry of Hanzhong? That flag, Wang Da saw it last year. At that time, everyone said that they were going to Luoyang to beat the fat man who bullied the emperor, and at that time, Wang Da secretly saw this flag at the ferry. Wang Da suddenly shouted, don't run, don't run, it's the master of Hanzhong, that's a good old man, kneel, kneel. Many people were skeptical, some didn't believe it at all, and ran away directly, Wang Da said that I also knelt down, and if I want to die, I will die first. After speaking, he knelt motionless next to the horse, and there were still many people who believed in Wang Da, and Wang Da was just when he distributed the grain.
Wang Da only felt that a pressure was getting closer and closer, fortunately, it seemed that the cavalry was slowly slowing down, and then he saw a horse that was much taller than the county lord's horse carrying an iron-clad officer and soldier with a spear, and the officers and soldiers were surrounded by more than a dozen cavalrymen, and this officer and soldier slowly beat the horse and rushed towards Wang Da. Wang Da was so scared that he was going to die, his hands and forehead were full of sweat, and his whole body was hot and uncomfortable. Wang Da looked back, there were thousands of people kneeling behind him, and the nearest third child was also trembling all over, maybe the third child was also afraid, Wang Da thought.
The officer and soldier stopped fifty paces from Wang Da, turned around and said something to the people around him, but Wang Da couldn't hear it clearly. Then an ordinary cavalryman came over and shouted at Wang Da's group: "Come out and speak to a certain lord, a certain lord has something to say." "Chief? Where did the leader come from, Wang Da thought to himself, the county lords were all killed by us, and there was no leader. Wang Da looked back in a panic, but when he saw everyone looking up at him, Wang Da was stunned in his heart, I am the leader?
The cavalryman obviously saw everyone's eyes as well, and said to Wang Da, "You are the leader?" If you want to surrender, you have to talk to a certain family master. Wang Da grunted in his heart, what are you talking about, I just want to farm, I want to eat, how can I talk about it. Wang Da was afraid of annoying the officers and soldiers, and killed all the people behind him, it was too worthless, Wang Da stood up hard, and said to the cavalry: "Back to the master, the small one is Wang Da, we don't want to rebel, we just want to eat, we want to farm, I hope the master won't kill us." Wang Da heard the people behind him crying vigorously, yes, sir, Wang Da is right. Wang Da was even bolder in his heart, and the villagers said that I was right, so I will continue.
But the cavalryman didn't stop After Wang Da finished speaking, he turned his horse and ran back, Wang Da was stunned for a moment, and the people behind him hurriedly pulled Wang Da is the third child, and the third said Wang Da, how dare you stand and talk to the master. Wang Da was startled, and hurriedly knelt down again, and many people behind him said that Wang Da was good, dared to stand and speak, and spoke well. But the king was afraid. Wang Da looked up at the cavalry, but saw that the cavalryman had been whipped on his horse by the man who looked like a general in iron armor. Then he saw the general riding over, and Wang Da suddenly became nervous again.
When Wang Da heard the most beautiful words, he immediately burst into tears, and there was crying behind him. The general said, "Lay down your arms and let you go back to farming." ”
