Chapter 22: Jing Ye
In the pergola, it was very lively at this time.
I saw more than a dozen strong men wearing official clothes walking quickly, and the old man of the restaurant greeted him with a smile, and urged the little two in the store to hurry up with good food, good meat, and good wine to entertain a few masters.
These more than ten men entered the pergola, exchanged cups and bowls, ate meat, drank wine, and talked loudly, making the deserted and desolate pergola lively all of a sudden.
Xiao Chanhuan smelled the aroma of wine and meat coming from the pergola, her mouth watered, and the gluttonous worms in her stomach screamed even more.
My KFC, Country Base, Chicken Leg Burger, Shrimp Burger......
Xiao Chanhuan raised her head slightly and wanted to take a look to relieve her hunger, but before she raised her head, Niu Dali understood her intentions, pressed her head, and said silently: "Don't move!" ”
Niu Dali is rare and stern, Xiao Chanhuan drummed in her heart, afraid that she would cause trouble for Niu Dali, so she carefully and obediently returned to her original position, although her stomach was still "cooing", in the end, her physiological behavior was controlled by reason.
Niu Dali looked at Xiao Chanhuan obediently, knowing that it was his strictness that scared her, but he had to do it.
Along the way, he has seen too many sinister scenes, the officials with knives are not necessarily kinder than the rogue robbers, and the rogue robbers are not necessarily more fierce and cruel than the officials with knives.
If you think you are a protector, you are not a protector, and if you think you are not a protector, sometimes you will open the net and spare your life.
This is the reversal and chaos of the world, and there is nothing more terrible than darkness under the lamp.
This is all Niu Dali's personal experience.
He remembered deeply: Once, when he went out to look for food, he walked a little farther, and saw with his own eyes a few strong men dressed in official clothes, laughing and scolding, and killed several escapees.
Just because one of the refugees had inconvenient legs and feet, he couldn't make way out for the officials in time, just because he blocked their way, and the other escapees present were unlucky, just a few breaths, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and was quickly collected into the soil by the hungry and thirsty earth, leaving no living mouth.
What's even more heartbreaking is that those officials who don't take human lives as human lives killed all the escapees present, and they also cut off their heads and tied them to the back of the horse's buttocks and took them to the county town to receive merit and get bounties.
They're killing good and risking their work!
Niu Dali used to listen to the opera troupe in the village sing.
Those evil and hateful officials killed Liang and others, pretended to be rogue robbers, and took them to invite merit and receive rewards.
How vicious and terrible this kind of behavior is.
In the past, when I watched the troupe sing, I was just angry, but I really encountered it in reality, and emotions such as fear and fear occupied my heart more.
The robbers are just for money, and these officials are eating, taking the money given by the imperial court, and killing Liang and others to take credit, which is simply terrible.
That experience left a very deep impression on Niu Dali, and for the first time, he really understood that this world is really chaotic, and if you want to live, you have to die more than others.
Fortunately, he was far away at the time, and when he heard the movement from afar, he found a place to hide, if he was seen by the officials, the consequences would not be thought twice, he was afraid that the grass on the grave would be so high.
Thinking that if he died, leaving Huahua a lonely and weak woman, I didn't know if I could live, whether I would be bullied, and whether I would soon follow in his footsteps......
Just thinking about it, Niu Dali's heart is like a knife, doting can't help her stand up, only strict teaching, let her understand the cruelty of reality as soon as possible, and understand the rules of survival in troubled times, is the best for her.
Niu vigorously held back his distress, and the white face had to sing no matter what.
※
Xiao Chanhuan and Niu vigorously hid quietly in a hidden place, trying to curl up their bodies in a ball, trying not to attract the attention of officials and others, hoping that they would quickly finish eating and leave, and by the way, it would be best to leave some rations between their teeth to feed them.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
The officials in the pergola obviously did not have the idea of quickly finishing their meals and leaving quickly, and they even had a casual and noisy conversation.
Xiao Chanhuan listened to their high-pitched voices, and even rolled her eyes in her heart, she couldn't wait to step forward and give one of them a hammer, but they were all knocked out, so she fled with wine, food, and meat.
If only she were Superman......
For the first time, Xiao Chanhuan showed a desire for power.
Not long after this thought came to her mind, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her head, and the pain flashed so fast that she thought she had a delusion.
Is it too nervous?
Xiao Chanhuan shook her head in her heart, not taking this dull pain to heart.
Inside the pergola, the noise of the officials was still there.
A middle-aged official with a fat figure surrounded by the officials, a big beard covered one-third of his face, and the skin exposed outside the beard was shiny, and he didn't know how much fat and ointment had been scavenged to fill his belly. This person's eyes are gloomy, and he looks at people with oblique light, revealing a vicious spiciness, and he knows that he is very difficult to provoke at a glance.
The middle-aged official poured a big sip of wine in his throat, and reached out to wipe the remaining wine at the corner of his mouth very informally.
This middle-aged official didn't mind his shabby image at all, or he felt that like he looked like a piece of, no one dared to tell the truth in front of him.
I only heard the middle-aged official complain loudly: "What a fucking bad luck! This day is getting more and more sad, the brothers ran for a day, both legs were about to break, and I didn't see a fat rabbit! Grandpa, I'm going back this time, and I'll never come to Zhushan County again, a place where birds don't! There is no oil and water, and there is no fun, it is really boring, very boring. ”
As soon as his words fell, he received a chorus of echoes.
"Jing Ye is right!"
The rest of the officials are very face-saving and echoed, obviously this official called "Jing Ye" is the highest status among the dozen or so officials, so the other officials are holding every word that echoes him.
Jing Ye's official errand made a few more complaints, and after getting the response of the brothers, he waved his hand contentedly and completely closed the topic of complaining.
Jing Ye took another big sip of wine, put down the wine jar, and said loudly: "Brothers have suffered a lot these days by running around with me, I won't say more bad things, everyone is drinking and eating meat today, and after we are full of wine and food, we will turn around again, and then go back to the county seat, this rogue robber can't catch it, and I can't help but call our brothers home." ”
