Chapter 231: The Beggar
Soon after dawn the next day, the carriage bypassed Jianchang, went out of the Dali territory, and arrived at the Qiongbu Prefecture region.
Qiongbu is a small county town in the west of the Great Song Dynasty, because of the location of the Tubo border, although the city is small, the wall is thick and high, which was ordered to be built by Ah Zhen 237 years ago.
The Great Song Dynasty and Tubo have always had a good relationship, and the only time they had a bad relationship occurred two hundred and thirty-seven years ago. At that time, the court failed to recruit the bandits in the southwest, and he came non-stop. But Tongchuan and Luo's lands have long been lost. As soon as the front foot arrived, he saw the hussar general gather 150,000 soldiers and horses to fight with the bandits in the western region of the Minjiang River, at that time he thought that the southwest bandits were not difficult to do, and after seeing it with his own eyes, he overturned the previous theory, and the 24 surnamed bandits actually amounted to 450,000, all of them were equipped with sophisticated weapons and horses, and Yan Ran was already a regular army.
Leaning on the eaves of the car, Ah Zhen's thoughts floated, his eyes were dry, he hadn't slept normally for many days, he glanced at the intricate hills and rivers of Qiongbu Prefecture with a little dazedness, remembering the battle in the southwest more than two hundred years ago, and couldn't help but sigh deeply. The world knows the twenty-four capital palace towns in the southwest, but no one knows the Lu Dao, in fact, Qizi has never given an order to kill, and all the killing orders are all given by him.
"Alas!" Sighing heavily for the 67,000 bandits, his heart was full of depression, looking at the Qiongbu Prefecture that was getting closer and closer, as if seeing the 67,000 people kneeling outside the city two hundred years ago, the sword and axe hands around him fell with the order, and a large amount of blood splashed on the snake flag, killing the twenty-four surnames in the southwest, and killing the Tubo Kokang Department who provided weapons and horses for the twenty-four surnames, closed his dry eyes, Ah Zhen was really uncomfortable, turned his head and lifted the curtain of the car, and saw that the mother's door was still shrinking in the corner and crying, and couldn't help roaring: "Cry, cry, cry, I will only cry all day long." , why don't you put away my tears and come out and talk to me. ”
Tong Mumu woke up at dawn, and was shocked to see the wicked man lift the curtain and poke his head in, frightened and energetic, and the scolding that made her bite her mouth urgently, choked and looked at the fierce and evil face, she didn't want to go out, and she didn't dare to stop by climbing from the ground, and slowly climbed towards the car curtain.
Lin Azhen's thoughts were unstable, difficult to handle, and depressed, and then he saw that this mother's door was as fast as a turtle, her originally swollen forehead almost burst, and a pair of fists were squeezed and trembled.
Fiercely glared at the surnamed Tong and slowly crawled to the front of the car curtain, he cracked his teeth and cracked his teeth, all his patience was spent, he stretched out his trembling fist, and grabbed and dragged the rags she was covering her before bullying, but he heard a miserable howl, and he scolded with great anger: "Can't you understand people's words?" Fuck you, damn woman, why don't you die. ”
Tong Mumu was dragged out of the carriage, lying on the board of the car and crying, clutching the wide ragged jacket on her body with both hands, because she was captured when she was going to sleep, and if the ragged jacket was torn off, only a small undergarment would remain. She didn't know what the wicked man wanted to do to herself, but she was angry and quickly begged for mercy: "Please don't hurt me, please, I'm obedient, I'll listen to you." ”
Lin Azhen snorted heavily, glared angrily at the tearful mother-in-law, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, opened his mouth angrily and scolded again: "You mother-in-law is really angry with me, Lao Tzu swears to the sky that you can't see it in your eyes, why aren't you afraid of leading someone to arrest me yesterday?" And now you are afraid that I will hurt you? It's fucking hell enough. ”
Tong Mumu has been slightly relieved since he swore yesterday, afraid or still afraid of him, it can be seen that Jinglun Satin Village, suddenly realized that he has a way to go, he is a bandit after all, and the oath may not be believed.
"Woo!" Now he was even more angry, knowing that the oath had long since dispersed like the wind, and the wicked were angry that they would not let themselves die easily, even if they were dead, and the body fell into his hands, they would be dishonored after death. Thinking of this section, she didn't know what to do, and she could only bury herself and cry bitterly.
Originally, Ah Zhen asked her to come out to talk to her about the depressed words in her heart, but it can be seen that this lady is afraid of him like a ghost, and her depressed heart has not loosened, but has added to the blockage, and when she is angry, she has an iron face, and she pointed to the carriage and scolded: "Get out, go back to your corner and continue to shrink, fuck." He scolded and clenched his fist and slammed it into the board angrily, but there was a bang, and the heavy wooden board was smashed out of a big hole.
Tong Mumu was frightened, his tearful face was white and colorless, as if he was in the cold, his body couldn't help but tremble, he couldn't cry and crawled on all fours, hurriedly climbed into the carriage, hugged and shrunk into the corner, and buried his head in his knees and wept.
The mother climbed into the carriage like a dog, Lin Azhen looked up to the sky and took a few deep breaths of anger, the mood was extremely bad, and he slightly suppressed the shepherd woman in charge of the car and ordered: "Go into the city to find an inn, everyone can sleep well." ”
The two women in charge of the car were also frightened, nodded quickly when they heard the command, raised the whip rod in their hands to beat the horse, and galloped into Qiongbu Prefecture.
More than 20 miles to the west of Qiongbu Prefecture is the Yalong River in Tubo, the Yalong River produces sand and dust, and it is gray and brown in the city of Qiongbu Prefecture, but even so, the merchants of Tubo and the Great Song Dynasty still go in and out, and the flow of people is not much, and there are also a lot, just ordinary.
Entering the city gate, Ah Zhen jumped out of the car first, and walked leisurely towards the inn in front of him, looking at this town that was both familiar and unfamiliar with his eyes. He stayed here for nearly a month, not only to try the bandits here, but also to order the attack on Kokang Tubo, and to supervise the beheading of Bula and Yaka, who provided weapons and horses for the ministers.
More than 200 years have passed, and I don't know how many times Qiongbu Prefecture has been renovated and repaired? He sighed lightly and came to the door of the inn, the carriage was taken away by the second brother, and the crying mother's door was gone, only a woman was waiting at the gate, and when she saw herself, she hurriedly took out the mountain silver from her arms and handed it over.
"You have the silver, I don't like to carry these lumps in my clothes." The woman who refused to hand over the money strode into the inn, looked left and right, and then asked, "By the way, you should know how to drink bars?" ”
The woman followed behind, nodded and asked, "Does Uncle want to drink?" ”
"Hmm. Just come with me for a few drinks. As he spoke, the traveler who walked past several tables for breakfast came to a window table and called to the counter: "Little second brother, come and order." ”
"Okay." The shopkeeper responded from afar, running with a list in his hand, and at first glance he naturally looked at the village woman who was waiting next to him, his eyes slowly moved down, and he was surprised to see that the uncle looked so vicious, and he was suddenly startled, and he didn't dare to say more than half a word, so he bowed down to deliver the order. "Uncle, please order."
Lin Azhen's stomach was already full, but he didn't eat it, and women had to eat it too, so he took the order and ordered Xianyou fried noodles, which is the staple food, and the side dishes include white-cut beef, soy sugar pork ribs, called flower chicken, and the most popular is seaweed and egg soup. He handed back the slip and then instructed, "Bring me two more glasses of wine, it's better." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The little second brother was respectful, and scolded in his heart, you murderer, you are greasy all over the table early in the morning, be careful to choke you to death. The mouth dared to move for a while, and only said a little wait, like letting the ghost chase and run away.
The little second brother left, Ah Zhen smiled at the woman standing beside him, and called beside his finger: "Come, sit down and have two drinks with me." ”
"Yes." When he gave this order, the woman sat down, stared at him with big black and white eyes, and asked strangely: "Uncle, you said that girl who cried very well was 'the love of the boss', but why did you make such a big fire with her?" Let the boss know that he will not be happy, I advise you to be too angry with her. ”
Dajin Yuan is a herdsman, these herdsmen who live by water and grass have a clear love and hate, they do not have the flowery intestines of the Song people, they speak straightforwardly and amiably, but they have an appetite for Ah Zhen.
He smiled, and his mood seemed to soothe a little, so he asked, "What's your name?" Daikin in that state? ”
The uncle asked for the name, which made the woman extremely happy, and she hurriedly said: "My name is Atoya, the big Han sister is called Atosan, the little Han sister is called Atolan, the little Han sister is called Atodo, and Atoyue and Atoyun." ”
Lin Azhen regretted it as soon as he asked, only to feel that there were a lot of wooden poles. Ato is the wooden pillar used by the herdsmen to support their tents, and the herdsmen call it Atoer. Nomads choose their names casually and never pay attention to them, which we already know before. Ah Zhen could tell the difference between the big and the small, and nodded with a smile to show that he understood.
The uncle nodded understandingly, and Atoya was even more happy, and hurriedly said: "We are Mi'er beggars, and we used to live in the Yima'er River. Last year, the patriarch took refuge in Dajin, and the Dajin Emperor gave us Haizi, a fisherman who was originally a Hongji thorn. However, in the last year, Temujin killed the Tokhtar patriarch and drove us out of the fishing Haizi, and we had no choice but to take refuge in Dajin. Dajin placed us in the river gray Lugu, where there was no green grass, only wind and sand, and the cattle and sheep could not live, so we had to plant trees and cultivate the fields. ”
Lin Azhen listened carefully, and when she saw her say this, her eyes turned red, so she immediately reached out and gently patted her shoulder and asked, "Then why are the six of you here?" What about the clansmen? ”
Atoya wiped away her weak tears, and thought for a while, as if she didn't know what to say, before she continued: "The Tokh patriarch was killed by Temujin, and all the men who were taller than the wheels were boiled in a cauldron, and we escaped the Great Khing'an Mountains to join Dajin, and when the Uraka Road Judge saw that we only had old people and children, he looked down on us, and did not give us the grass, only gave us corn seeds, but everyone did not know how to plant, and if they did not live and could not pay taxes, the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Recruitment Division beat our old people and children, and took us to sleep with them, We fled if we didn't want to. Originally, many people escaped, but later some were arrested, some died, we were afraid and kept fleeing, and we fled for a long time, and fled far away, thinking that it was safe to stop and meet the uncle. ”
Lin Azhen's shoulders trembled when he heard this, and he instantly understood why the boss was going to make such a drastic move. He looked at this upside-down woman distressedly, closed his eyes and asked softly, "Then how do you live along the way?" I'm homesick. ”
Atoya wiped away the weak tears with the back of her hand, naturally homesick, and replied honestly: "We were begging at the beginning, but others rarely gave us food, so we replaced it with others to eat, and we slept with them......"
When she said this, Ah Zhen, who had closed her eyes, opened her eyes suddenly, and scolded angrily: "You ......" only angry with the word two, seeing her big eyes with tears, knowing that if they hadn't been like this all the way, they wouldn't have survived now, so she reached out to her face with pity, wiped away a layer of tears and sighed: "This is not good, don't do it again in the future." ”
