Chapter 219: Catching the Strong Man (Five Watches)
Tao Qini put down the bowl, looked directly at Yang Xuanzhu and said, "Let's talk about it!" What's going on? Something that makes people fall into memory and struggle to get out. β
"I'm sorry to let you follow the cold wind." Yang Xuanzhu lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.
"We're more worried about why you're doing this!" Han Jinhu looked at him and asked curiously.
"Uh-huh!" Everyone nodded in unison.
Tao Fifteen looked at his frightened body trembling slightly, "Don't worry, if you don't want to say it, don't say it." β
"Actually, there's nothing bad to say." Yang Xuanzhu sniffed, rubbed the back of his hand against his nose, raised his dark and bottomless eyes and looked at him.
"I was caught in the army because of conscription." Yang Xuanzhu looked at them with gloomy eyes and said.
"Conscription?" Tao Liuyi looked at him in confusion and said.
"I remember I told you, "The Stone Trench Officer": In the stone trench village at dusk, there are officials who catch people at night......" Yao Changsheng looked at Tao Liuyi and said.
"Ahh Got it, catch the strong man. Tao Liuyi nodded abruptly, looked at him in surprise and said, "Then how did you escape?" β
"I didn't escape, I was defeated by the rebels and escaped from the dead."
"I have suffered a lot in the Yan army!" Tao Fifteen looked at him and said with pity.
So much so that the memory is deep and the reaction is so great.
"They don't all want to be human beings, they serve with sticks at every turn, they beat them whenever they want for no reason, and it's even more cruel to deal with deserters." Yang Xuanzhu said through gritted teeth.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, drink ginger soup." Tao Liuyi pointed to the bowl in front of him and said hurriedly.
Yang Xuanzhu held the bowl in both hands and poured a sip of warm ginger soup, and his expression recovered a little.
"Those painful memories you don't want to talk about, you don't have to say it." Tao Qini watched his little finger unnaturally.
"I'm fine, I want to say, I'm about to suffocate, maybe say it, I can sleep peacefully." Yang Xuanzhu put down the bowl and looked at her and said, following her line of sight to see his little finger, "I was beaten by them, broken, and not treated, and then that's it." β
"Ten people from the same village were arrested, and one of them came back." Yang Xuanzhu looked at them with his tight trouser legs and said, "I was tied to a rope and the messenger waved the whip to escort me, gnawing the bark of grass roots, and the whip will go on the body if you walk slowly, and some people are sick and still on the side of the road, so they must be stabbed." β
"Ahh Tao Liuyi covered his mouth with his hands and looked at him in disbelief.
"Don't be surprised by the fact I said, I saw it with my own eyes, and the rest of the people were so frightened that they had to crawl and walk, and if they fell, they wouldn't have a chance to get up." Yang Xuanzhu's cheekbones trembled unnaturally, "As long as you have a breath, you will follow, some of them really can't do it, and if you fall, you will lie on the ground and beg the poor master bitterly, don't kill him." He wanted to go home, and he wanted to climb home. The poor master stabbed down, and there was no one, and he was still scolding and scolding, go home? I will send you home. β
"Isn't it okay to fend for yourself?" Tao Liuyi looked at him and asked puzzled.
"Kill chickens and monkeys to avoid people pretending to be sick." Yao Changsheng pursed his lower lip and looked at him and said, "If you have enough people, the errand will have a reward to receive." β
"Then such a sick body, even if you are escorted to the barracks, you can't do anything! They can't do anything, they'll be kind enough to keep it. Tao Liuyi looked at Yang Xuanzhu suspiciously.
Sure enough, Yang Xuanzhu shook his head slightly and said, "I won't let them go home, the escort will take the sick and those who are not in good health to the ravine, and take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to kill all the people." β
Han Jinhu and Li Jiaju glanced at each other, "I was watching the Yan Army recruiting troops at that time, and I still wanted to go." If it weren't for the fact that Jiaju and Yan Jun had a common hatred, I wouldn't have been really stupid and went. β
"There's no need to be so ruthless!" Tao Liuyi said in disbelief.
"If you send it back to ask for money and food, if you kill it, the money and food will fall into the hands of the errand officer, and the military master in the barracks can still eat empty salary." Zheng Bo looked at them expressionlessly.
"I'm really too naΓ―ve, this is doing everything possible to make money, and I won't let people go even if they die." Han Jinhu smacked his tongue.
"There's only what you can't think of, there's nothing they can't do." Uncle Zheng closed his eyes and looked at them and said.
"Fortunately, Uncle Zheng stopped him at that time." Chen Heming looked at him gratefully and said, "Otherwise, we won't know if we're dead." β
"Why don't you resist." Tao Liuyi looked at them and suddenly said, "There are only a few servants, but there are quite a few of you." β
"Resistance?" A glimmer of light burst out from Yang Xuanzhu's eyes, and suddenly dimmed again, and said, "There are many people, but those who are hungry have no strength." Besides, if you are happy for a while, what should you do with your parents, mothers, and children at home? I look forward to you going back, but if you can bear it, you can bear it. β
"They are not outlaws, they are all ordinary people, with families and businesses. If you really want to get out, the family will wait to go to jail! Yao Changsheng looked at him and said seriously, "It's not that I can't get by, I won't do that." β
"I'm shallow." Tao Liuyi was stunned when he heard this, and said embarrassedly, "You continue." β
"This beating and scolding is frequent, and my reaction today is to think of the past, the posture is not correct, or I don't hit a few ear scrapers, and I will kick my foot when I lift my foot. But when I arrived at the barracks, I still couldn't eat enough, I didn't have the strength at all, and it was not good to do the movements, and I didn't have the strength. β
Tao Qini looked at Yao Changsheng, meaningful, this Yan army is like this.
Yao Changsheng touched his nose and opened his mouth, this is not the place to speak.
"Won't you run away?" Tao 15 looked at him suspiciously and said, "If you have a family, you don't run away, for fear of affecting your family, then you are the only one in the family!" Don't you run away? β
"They were very cruel to the deserters, and I asked the others, and they told them that some of them caught the deserters, cut off their ears, strung them together, and hung them outside the tent."
"Shhh Everyone present gasped.
"Those who are punished for training are all sorted, kneeling and breaking coarse porcelain, breaking stones, wandering when on duty, beating the hand board with a ruler, and going down with five boards, and the hands are all swollen." Yang Xuanzhu looked at them and continued, "There is also a killing stick, which smashed the buttocks, gave birth to maggots in the summer, and ate people to death. β
"Oh my God!"
"Treat deserters, it's okay if the military master slashes with a knife. The most feared thing is to let us, the newcomers, slash each of us on the deserter. It's all people, you can't bear it, the knife is cut in a place that is not critical, and in the end it ...... alive" Yang Xuanzhu's face turned pale, and he couldn't say any more.
"This is pure torture, you can't bear to poison you, but you have chosen the most unbearable way to die for this deserter in the most unbearable way." Yao Changsheng looked at him expressionlessly and said.
"So we understand it, and if we meet again, it will be the greatest kindness to him." Yang Xuanzhu said silently.
