Chapter 404: Headless
The soldiers outside the courtyard were already paralyzed, and they were hiding in the dark shadows at the end of the alley, after all, this alley was a dead end, but fortunately there was an extra wall in the dark shadows to keep them inside.
Now it was just me and the headless corpse left in the courtyard, and the bodies of the two soldiers had been carried out by the others.
"Why didn't you leave, why did you die here?" I asked.
The half-body suddenly got up and rushed towards me, holding my head tightly with both hands, desperately pulling down like a carrot.
My neck clicked and I had to kick the body away and say, "Fuck off, what are you going to do?"
I kicked it over, rolled on the ground, and ran to the head of the Han soldier.
Not to mention, after such a toss, the initial fear in my heart has disappeared.
After picking up Han Jun's head, he stuffed his head into his erect neck, shook it twice, and then crooked his mouth and muttered.
At first I couldn't hear what he was saying, but after listening for a while, I figured out what he meant.
"You mean you were beheaded by them, and what about your head?" I asked.
"They sent him to the capital division. The corpse said.
I asked again: "After we left, why didn't you take people away, the map of Xu Fu Dongdu was found for you, and you can also live in seclusion." ”
"I didn't go, after you went out, the Han army changed its generals, but unfortunately my illness didn't let me live longer, and I died halfway. ”
I shook my head and sighed, "Then why are you in this place?"
"After I died, Zhang Heng brought my body to this house, saying that he had already bought this house and used it as a place to put my coffin, but ......" the corpse began to cry.
I stepped forward to reassure: "General Tiangong, don't be sad, the life and death of a person are destined by God." But how did what happened to you become the result of a severed head?"
"It's hard to put into words. "The corpse is Zhang Jiao's, and when I saw his clothes, I felt that from his mouth, I learned that not long after we left Guangzong City, the Han court re-sent the general Huangfu Song, and in the face of internal and external pressure, Zhang Jiao fell ill and died.
Zhang Heng helped him collect the coffin and put it in this house, first to prevent the Han army from looking for it, and again to have the opportunity to come here again in the future, carry the coffin away, and bury it in a safer place.
But who would have thought that after the Han army entered the city, they launched a carpet search to completely clean up the Yellow Turban Army, which found this coffin, and found that the people inside were dressed in the clothes of generals, plus there was the Yellow Turban Army Tiangong General Shuai Banner, they affirmed Zhang Jiao's identity.
Therefore, the later general Huangfu Song, in order to invite merit, received an order from the imperial court to "break the coffin and kill the corpse, and enter Beijing with the head." This cut off his head and sent him to the capital.
After I heard this, I felt a little painful in my heart, the huge Yellow Turban Uprising, mighty, really one stone stirred up a thousand waves, the whole country, it was the Yellow Turban Wave, who would have thought that such a thing would happen.
"Then general, do you have any last wishes?"
"Yes, I want my head back. Zhang Jiao spoke through the heads of Han soldiers.
When I heard this, I felt a little uncomfortable and worried that I would not be able to complete the task.
His head has been sent to the Beijing Division, isn't it a joke to want to get his head back, it's a master like a deaf man, it's so easy to enter the imperial palace, if you find a place, it's okay, this is to find a dead man's head, where to find it, you can't ask the emperor of the Han family.
I hesitated for a long time, in order to get Zhang Jiao to return to the coffin quickly, I simply agreed to him, but I knew that this matter may not be able to be done even in my lifetime.
"This, I promise you, but you have to go back to the coffin and lie down, and don't run around if it's okay. I said.
Zhang Jiao shook his head, and the head of the Han soldier fell to the ground again, and I squatted down, helped pick it up, and pressed it on his body again.
"Okay, since you agreed, I'll go back to sleep. ”
"One more thing, these two soldiers of mine, how did you pull out people's hearts?" I said.
Zhang Jiao wanted to turn his head again, but I immediately held his head and said, "Don't move your head, just stand there and talk honestly." ”
"They two bastards, seeing that I didn't know how to salute me, actually peed on the lid of my coffin, do you think I should kill them both?" Zhang Jiao said.
I was speechless, and it took me a long time to reply: "Otherwise, we are here first today, we are here to get some money, and go back to treat my promise to you kindly." ”
"Are those old and weak all right?" asked Zhang Jiao.
I said, "Very good, it's just that eating has become a problem, and there are too many people at the moment, I don't know what General Zhang's opinion is?"
"There was a rich man in the city, and he had money, and he brought him enough to feed you for a few months. Also, you have the ability to rob tombs, why don't you go to the tombs of some rich people and get some good things out, so that you don't have to worry about eating and drinking anymore, and one day, the Yellow Turban Army will rise again, and I can help you when the time comes. ”
After listening to Zhang Jiao's words, I couldn't listen to it anymore, and said, "Forget it, you still wait for me to take back your head and settle in the ground." Don't come out again to scare people, how can you say that this Guangzong City is also the world you once had, and the people in the city are also your people, be kind to them, and sleep honestly. ”
When Zhang Jiao heard this, he didn't know where the tears came from, and after the tears flowed, he took the initiative to take off the head of the Han army, threw it aside, staggered into the room, and jumped into the coffin.
The lid of the coffin that fell to the ground seemed to have grown legs, and it was closed with a clatter.
I didn't feel a little at ease until this time, and after bowing three times to the room, I asked the soldiers to put the two drunken corpses on both sides of the coffin, and the corpses of the Han soldiers in the corner of the room.
Two broken wooden panels were found in the courtyard, and the door of the room was attached, and the door was sealed tightly with nails.
A few of us bowed to the house and turned to leave, and by this time it was already dawn, so we decided to go out and find something to eat, step on it, and then move when it was dark.
That night, we sneaked into the house of the rich man, but strangely enough, we did not find anything of great value in his house, only some gold and silver, which at most could only be eaten by the people on the mountain for another month.
In desperation, the soldiers killed his son, which was considered to have destroyed the mouth of the rich man's family, and the rest of the servants were dismissed by us overnight, leaving only two rich wives.
I asked, "Your family can be called a rich man, shouldn't there be only such a few things, don't you have some treasures or something?"
Both women, both of whom were women's families, could not stand our intimidation, and in the double play of the two soldiers, they finally revealed that in the manor outside the city, and most of the family possessions, we could go there to get them.
Hearing this, we didn't have the slightest suspicion, and after letting the soldiers tie up the two people, we quickly left. Looking back, what we did was a bit excessive, but there was no way, if they didn't die, more people would starve and suffer, and it was a difficult thing to choose.
After leaving Guangzong City overnight, we followed the words of the two women and arrived at the manor outside the city, and as far as the eye could see, the environment was really elegant. Halfway up the mountainside, there is a faint wooden village showing half a corner, the stream is murmuring under the mountain, and the birds in the forest are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
It was only then that I laid down the stone in my heart to prove that the two women had not deceived us.
"You follow me, go up the hill differently than in the city, keep your distance as much as possible, and take care of each other. ”
We went halfway along the mountain road, and found that there seemed to be people moving in the wooden village, and it looked very lively, some talked and laughed, and some people raised their glasses to persuade them to drink, and there were many people dancing in the middle of the courtyard.
"Uncle, it's almost midnight, and there are still people in a broken wooden village?" I muttered.
The soldier leaned over and said, "Chief, why don't we go up and have a look first, and you wait here?"
"No, let's go up together, but remember, if someone asks us what we're doing here, they say we're lost, and come up to ask for something to eat and drink. ”
After discussing, we swaggered to the wooden village, and only then did I see the scene clearly.
In the courtyard there were a few thick wooden trunks, holding up a high bonfire, and five or six people sat with their backs to us, all dressed in very gorgeous brocade and satin, and at the end of the bonfire were several young and beautiful girls, dancing in light gauze dresses.
On the side of these people, there are also a few people who play musical instruments in their hands, with their backs to us people, clapping their hands and humming very beautiful songs.
Elegant and gorgeous dancing, naturally handsome beauties, like the accompaniment of fairy music, rough and rich singing. The grade of the entire wooden village has been greatly improved.
"Hell love it. I muttered.
A few of the soldiers did not dare to speak, and we walked into the courtyard without any scruples, and stood beside these people, as if they had not noticed us, and were still performing.
I wanted to ask something, but I was quickly drawn to the scene.
I don't know when, a large number of Han soldiers appeared from behind us, surrounding the entire wooden village.
When I found out, I only felt that something was wrong, and I was afraid that I would not be able to get out.
I glanced at the two soldiers and said, "Be careful, someone is coming from behind, don't act rashly, it's not good that those two women are making it bad, uncle, it's calculated." ”
But before we were ready to do it, we only heard someone behind us applauding: "It's really good to dance, it's really wealthy, it's difficult to even enjoy the treatment that the court wants, but you can do it, amazing." ”
"The general has won the award, and the poor woman has no knowledge in her stomach, and this time I really have to thank the general for his guidance, otherwise, the old guy will have to wait a few years before he dies. ”
