Chapter 35: Rescue
Xu Liang has already entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and Huang Ziren is still staring at it, even if he is dragged by two soldiers by his legs, dragged back to the detention place of the prisoner like a dead dog, and thrown on the ground like garbage, Huang Ziren's eyes are still looking in the direction of the big tent.
Huang Ziren knew that if there was anyone in the Ming Dynasty who could save his life at this time, it was Xu Liang. Judging from the situation just now, Xu Liang should be mixing quite well now, at least those who were soldiers were very polite to Xu Liang.
Originally, Huang Ziren was already desperate, since the big battle three days ago, after the defeat and capture, Huang Ziren knew his fate like many former water cowards, and learned from the inadvertent chat of the soldiers in custody that tomorrow, at the latest, he would be dragged to the head of Jianchang County and beheaded for public display.
Huang Ziren had already accepted his fate, to hell with any grand ambition and hegemony, if he can live for an extra hour, it will be an hour. However, Huang Ziren never expected to meet Xu Liang in the camp of officers and soldiers, this is really a ray of light in the dark, Huang Ziren was ecstatic, seeing that Xu Liang was about to follow the hundred households into the big tent, Huang Ziren couldn't care about anything else, and fought to catch up.
As a result, although he didn't catch up, he finally caught Xu Liang's attention, and even though he was beaten half to death later, it was worth it!
Huang Ziren lay on the ground and laughed hehehe.
Time has become particularly long for Huang Ziren. He sat on the ground, endured the sharp pain in his chest from time to time, pulled the weeds one by one, and counted the seconds as the time passed.
One hour, two hours, three hours. It's dark!
Huang Ziren began to become uneasy, stood up and walked around the side. After another hour, a guard soldier threw a black steamed bun to each prisoner, Huang Ziren grabbed it in his hand, his stomach was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, but there was no appetite in his mouth.
A descendant on the side saw it and shouted: "Hey, Huang Ziren, do you still eat steamed buns, don't you eat them for Lao Tzu!" ”
Huang Ziren smiled bitterly and threw the steamed bun over, and the descendant caught it and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
After another half an hour, the whole barracks began to fall silent.
Huang Ziren was desperate again, and he stared blankly at the starry sky.
"Which of you is Huang Ziren?" A small colonel brought four soldiers to the group and asked with a cold face.
Huang Ziren was taken aback, then overjoyed, stood up and waved his hand and shouted: "I, I am Huang Ziren!" ”
The Colonel looked at one of the soldiers, who nodded. Xiao Xiao bared his teeth and smiled coldly, and waved his hand: "Take it away for me!" ”
Two soldiers stepped forward, escorted Huang Ziren and walked out. At this time, the man who originally asked Huang Ziren for steamed buns shouted: "Hey, military master, where are you going to take Huang Ziren?" Bring me with you! ”
Xiao Colonel smiled and asked: "This Huang Ziren collided with our general's distinguished guest in the morning, this will Lao Tzu was ordered to take him out to eat the board, what's the matter, you kid also want to join in the fun?" ”
When he heard this, he immediately shook his head, "No, no, no, I won't go!" ”
The little colonel escorted Huang Ziren out of the camp, and walked more and more deviated, and gradually walked into a large forest.
Huang Ziren looked at the shape that was not quite right, turned his head and asked, "Master Jun, where are you taking me?" ”
The little colonel shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, you will naturally know when you get to the ground!" ”
After walking for a while, the team stopped with a wave of his hand. Huang Ziren looked around, and saw that under the trees in front of him, a big pit had been dug, and several corpses had fallen in the pit, and the little correction looked at Huang Ziren with a sneer.
"You, what are you going to do?" Huang Ziren's heart sank and he asked in horror.
"Hehe, boy, you'll give you a ride today." Xiao Xiao Ran said, flew up with a kick, and kicked Huang Ziren into the big pit.
Huang Ziren hit his head on the head of another corpse and was thrown into pieces. When he came to his senses, he looked up and saw the five soldiers pointing to the pit and saying something.
This, this is going to bury me alive! Huang Ziren's heart was cold. Unexpectedly, instead of getting a glimmer of life, he met Xu Liang, but he was one step ahead of most of them. When Huang Ziren thought of this, he guessed that this qiē was all Xu Liang's instruction, and he hated it in his heart.
"Xu Liang! You son of a bitch! I won't let you go! Huang Ziren faced the night sky and scolded.
"You bastard who gave birth to a son without an asshole, Lao Tzu cursed you with pus on the soles of your feet and sores on your head, you can't die well! Woo...... Xu Liang, how can you say that we are all from the same place, how can you treat me like this...... ......"Huang Ziren was really desperate, scolding and scolding, and actually cried.
"Alas, I said Brother Ziren, can't you stop crying and scolding?" A voice said helplessly.
"Huh?" Huang Ziren was shocked when he heard this, turned his head to look at the edge of the pit, and saw a tall thin man in a blue robe standing on the edge of the pit, holding a lantern in his hand, looking at him with a smile. And the five soldiers who were still standing on the edge of the pit just now have long since disappeared at this moment.
Huang Ziren suddenly understood, turned over and stood up, crawled to the edge of the pit with three or two feet, climbed out of the pit with his hands and feet, saw Xu Liang, and cried and laughed: "Hehe, haha, I know that you Xu Liang is interesting enough, and you won't just leave me alone." As he spoke, he stretched out his two muddy hands and wanted to give Xu Liang a warm hug.
Xu Liang was so shocked that he took two steps back, looked at Huang Ziren, and said jokingly: "Really? Hey, I just heard someone yelling at me in the pit. ”
Huang Ziren suddenly jumped to his feet, looked around and shouted, "Who? Who the fuck doesn't have long eyes? Dare to scold me Huang Ziren's brother! ”
Xu Liang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, don't pretend, hurry up, let's get out of here quickly, the place where there are piles of dead people, looking weird." ”
In a small restaurant in Jianchang City, Huang Ziren, who had changed into clean clothes, was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, eating and munching on the four plates of fish and meat on the table.
"You eat slowly, no one will rob you!" Xu Liang said.
"Hmm," Huang Ziren grabbed a pig's trotter meat with his oily hand, stuffed it into his mouth and tore off a piece of meat, grabbed the teapot with his other hand and poured a few sips of tea, and said inarticulately: "The full man doesn't know that the hungry man is hungry, I haven't eaten a full meal for almost four days." ”
When Xu Liang heard this, he stopped talking. After Huang Ziren ate the dishes on the table like a cloud, he said, "Is it enough, do you want to have some more?" ”
Huang Ziren burped several times in succession, touched his bulging belly, and said with satisfaction: "No need, I'm already full." ”
"Okay, now it's time for you to tell me how you ended up with the water gangsters of Poyang Lake? I went to Wan'an Prison to look for you, but I heard that you have been assigned to Liaodong. Xu Liang asked.
"You want to know?"
"Very curious!"
"Alas!" Huang Ziren sighed for a long time, and began to tell the history of his blood and tears during this period of time with a handful of snot and tears.
It turned out that after Huang Ziren was separated from Xu Liang in Wan'an Prison, he was looking forward to Xu Liang to save him. However, after waiting left and right, he waited for four days, not only did he not wait for Xu Liang to come, but waited for the official who took him to Liaodong.
Although Huang Ziren did not read much in later generations, he also knew that in ancient times, Jiangnan was the richest, the northeast and northwest were the poorest, and Liaodong was definitely not a good place. So as soon as he got on the road, he tried every possible way to escape, what was convenient for stomach trouble halfway, running away at night while the official was asleep, jumping into the river while people were not paying attention when taking the boat, and tried all kinds of methods no less than seven or eight times, but I don't know if he Huang Ziren was too unlucky, or the escort official had too strong a sense of responsibility, in short, Huang Ziren did not succeed once. Later, he annoyed the escorting official, locked him with an iron chain, and did not let go of eating and sleeping, and regarded Huang Ziren to death.
Fortunately, there is no endless road, a month ago when they walked to the border of Wucheng County, the official errand for convenience, actually thought of taking the waterway, through Poyang Lake to the Yangtze River, along the river to the sea, to the north of the canal.
The incident happened in Poyang Lake, when the boat hired by the official came to the middle of the lake, suddenly rowed out several small boats from one place and surrounded them. In a word, they met Poyang Lake.
After that, things were logical, Huang Ziren didn't run by himself, Shui Kou helped him, killed those officials, rescued Huang Ziren, Huang Ziren thought after getting out, he had nowhere to go anyway, so he simply joined the Shui Kou team and started a business without capital.
At the end, Huang Ziren said self-deprecatingly: "Xu Liang, you are also a person who has crossed over, and now you have mixed up with the history of Jianchang, but I became a water robber and almost gave my life." Alas, how can the gap between people be so big! ”
Xu Liang was speechless, thought about it, and persuaded: "Brother Ziren, I think you won't mess around outside in the future, just follow me in the future, rest assured, as long as I Xu Liang has meat to eat in the future, you Huang Ziren's bones will definitely be indispensable, ah, no, I mean as long as I eat meat, I will never let you only drink soup!" ”
Huang Ziren looked at Xu Liang, with a grateful look on his face, and said: "Xu Liang, I will call you Brother Xu in the future, your life-saving grace, I, Huang Ziren, will always remember it, but I can't follow you now, I still want to go outside to break through, I don't believe it, with my ability, I will never be able to break through." ”
Hmph, I don't want to follow you as a little brother! Huang Ziren thought to himself, a few days ago, when the war was tight, he had personally pledged a batch of gold and silver treasures under the order of the big boss and found a secret place to hide them.
"Brother Xu, the green mountains are always there, the green water is always flowing, brother, I will say goodbye today, we will have a date later!" Huang Ziren stood up and arched his hand.
"What? Are you leaving now? Xu Liang exclaimed, "Are you crazy?" Now there are officers and soldiers everywhere outside, you are a stranger with wounds all over your body, will you go out alone to send you to the door? ”
"Huh? This, what to do? Huang Ziren really didn't expect this.
"Brother Ziren, if you want to go out and work alone, I will never stop you, but," Xu Liang persuaded: "You are covered with injuries now, or should you stay in my house first, recover from your injuries, and then the officers and soldiers will also be withdrawn, where do you want to go?" ”
