Crossing the river ferry, walking horses on the road, there is still food in the south, but the situation is different in the north. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAt that time, there was a great drought in the Central Plains, thousands of miles of red land, arrived in Henan, the prefectures and counties that passed, there was no rooster crow in a hundred miles, the wall was broken, and the color of decay was seen.

If there is a strong person, he will take risks and become thieves, burn and loot all the way, annex each other, form several strong thief armies, seize states and counties, kill corrupt officials and profiteers, plunder wealth, circle with the official army, repeatedly defeat the official army, the momentum is even better, and the appearance is changed, forming an elite army with ironclad flying horses. It was also repeatedly exterminated by the official army, and only a few leaders escaped and entered the mountains, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

When the people's army reached tens of thousands of people, there were dozens of famous leaders, and the names were terrifying, such as the shocking tiger, the cover of the three mountains, the mixed world Taibao, the drill dragon and other dozens of forces, among which Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, etc. were the most famous, playing the banner of the uprising, killing corrupt officials and putting the granary, eating his mother, drinking his mother, and the king did not pay for food, and it will be more terrible with the development of the disaster.

The world has been in chaos, mourning is everywhere, wild dogs gnaw human bones, and even the tragedy of cannibalism occurs, and children are eaten. What you see and hear, it's appalling.

Xiao Lang'er has always lived on the island, never lack of food and drink, and now come to the Central Plains, the inn he has passed has no wine and meat to eat, there is a cake, the black bun is already good, what he saw and smelled is too shocking, it is really a tragedy in the world. Everywhere there were hungry people, with lifeless eyes open and thirsty, and their mouths were saying, "Give me something!"

As long as there are enough things to eat, such as tree bark, grass roots, and wild vegetables, some large families have good harvests in previous years and can last longer, but they also send some helpers and servants back.

If you have a daughter, you should marry your daughter off as soon as possible, and you would rather not have a bride price, but marry your daughter off with three liters of grain, in order to save food. After the daughter married into her husband's house, she sat on the marriage bed, and when the bridegroom did not come in the middle of the night, she secretly walked to the door, and only heard her father-in-law say to her husband, "Now that your daughter-in-law is asleep, you can kill her with a pig-killing knife and salt her, and our family can live longer, and then help you marry a daughter-in-law in the future."

This daughter-in-law is beautiful, and I can't bear it. Stupid pig! Pretty deserves to eat?

The daughter-in-law was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, twisted her little feet and went home overnight, ran all night on the mountain road, and when she arrived at home, she woke up her father and mother, cried and told everything, and trembled and said that her husband's family was going to kill her and eat her. The old lady comforted her and fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up from a dream, I vaguely heard my father and mother say that it was better to slaughter and eat it yourself than to let others eat it. The daughter was frightened to the ground when she heard that even her own parents were going to eat her. In fact, it was the daughter who misunderstood, the parents only wanted to eat the only old hen in the family, and they usually exchanged eggs for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and they were reluctant to eat until they starved to death.

The tragedy occurred due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, from the corruption of the bureaucracy and the cruelty of the landlords. The disaster relief materials issued by the imperial court were stripped and intercepted layer by layer, and there was little left in the hands of the common people, so they could only endure hunger and flee in all directions, no one planted the land, and the taxes still had to be paid. Some peasants could not see a way out, so they had a full meal, and the whole family committed suicide, and tragedies were repeated.

Cangzhou, Hebei, where there are often heroes in the world, came to the outskirts of Cangzhou on this day, ready to spend the night and eat, as a four-grade official, of course, you can also go to the post station on the avenue and enjoy free accommodation, but Zhu Youzhen listened to the minister's advice and abolished the post station, thinking that it could save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, resulting in the post station soldiers having nothing to do, becoming homeless people, and even going to rebellion, including Li Zicheng and others, who became thieves in several provinces.

All the way, the buttocks of riding horses hurt, others are okay to say, it's just that Gu Qingqing suffered, a delicate eldest lady, no martial arts, can be regarded as offended, Xiao Lang'er is very apologetic, and originally didn't want to take her out. But Gu Qingqing has to come out, the newlywed Yan'er is difficult to give up, and all the hardships can be endured. Fortunately, with Xiao Lang'er and Liu Feifei as companions, the three of them talked and laughed, the journey was full of warmth, and they stopped and stopped, and they were not in a hurry.

Xiao Lang'er led his entourage, a group of more than 20 people, to a small town near Cangzhou Mansion.

But the town was scorched, with only a few houses left, and a few wounded old women left, and when they asked about the situation, it was outrageous that it had happened a few days ago. The old woman murmured.

The night before yesterday, as soon as I closed my eyes, I heard a noisy sound, and in the darkness, there were countless torches, countless shadowy crowds, and many houses were set on fire, burning even more fiercely with the wind.

These bandits led the way to the sky, causing a lot of trouble in the surrounding states and counties, spreading to Cangzhou, surrounding the entire town, driving people to one place, and ordering the surrender of property and food. The residents were reluctant to pay at first, but after the robbers killed a few people, they thought that their lives were still important, and they handed over the gold and silver jewelry one after another. Bandits looted everywhere, caught chickens and dogs, and slaughtered cattle and sheep. Gather food together.

Some young women were even arrested and ravaged in public, and the good-looking ones were left to be taken away or sold, and the ugly ones were killed. Men in the prime of life were caught in the ranks of bandits, and all those who did not obey were killed, both old and young. Leaving only a few of us old women, how are we going to live? Damn it, bandits who killed a thousand knives.

There are also bandits in the states and counties near the imperial city, Xiao Lang'er asked about the whereabouts of these people, the old woman replied, went to the nearby Yuntai Mountain and fell into the grass, from time to time to kill people and set fires, the government can't be extinguished, you better go, see you are some good people, don't go to trouble, go far away, don't lose your young life, these two female dolls, so beautiful, more beautiful than the daughter of Zhang Yuanwai in our town, but Zhang Yuan was taken away, and their family was also miserable.

Her father was originally a household waiter, greedy for ink and made a lot of money, and the land of their family was within a radius of 100 miles, but a family of more than 200 people was killed, leaving only a few women, including Zhang Shilang's third, fourth and fifth aunts, were taken away. The gold and silver treasures that the robbers found from his house were piled up into a small mountain, and the family could not eat them all for several lifetimes. Alas, what's the use of having so much money, you can't run away when disaster strikes.

There are also dozens of flower-like girls and young women in our town who are also abducted by the waste, and this collapse of killing a thousand knives is really a thousand knives and does not relieve hatred.

Don't worry, old woman, I will definitely help you get revenge.
