readx;? Chapter 3: Cultivation (3)

In recent years, due to frequent wars, a large number of men were killed, and the number of women in the Central Plains and other parts of the country was much higher than that of men. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 So it is extremely common for a man to marry two or three wives. Like the sons and daughters of large families in some rich places, it is not surprising that there are groups of wives and concubines.

But the same principle rests on Zheng Ziming, which is not very applicable. Whether it is the gentle and kind Chang Wanying, the bold and atmospheric Tao Sanchun, or the silent Hu Yanyun, it seems that they are not the masters who are willing to share the same husband with her. And none of the forces represented by these three people can make Zheng Ziming and others idle. Ordinary men have three wives and four concubines, and when they come to him, I'm afraid that one wife and one concubine are very troublesome!

"Why is it just nonsense? Little junior sister had a life-saving grace for you at the beginning!" No matter how embarrassed Zheng Ziming is now, Yang Guangyi has made up his mind today to stir up a meridian unitary.

Yu Gong, the little fat man of the year has now faintly become a faction of his own, and it is imperative to continue to tie this person to the chariot of the Chang family through marriage. In private, among the teachers, I don't know how many senior brothers and younger brothers adored the little sister Chang Wanying, but let Zheng Ziming, the kid, take the lead. The surname Zheng dares to play anything, and of course the senior brothers and younger brothers have the obligation to take out this evil breath for the little junior sister.

"Yes, Xiaofei, when are you going to marry the little junior sister? It's better to take advantage of my brother-in-law's presence, let's set the approximate date first. When I go back, I can also have an explanation with my father-in-law!" Han Chongyun originally didn't plan to interfere in his good friend's private affairs, but seeing that Tao Dachun's Hu Yanzan and the two reacted wrongly, he simply joined the "forcing the palace" army.

As a general's son-in-law, he doesn't care how many women Zheng Ziming marries. In fact, his father-in-law Chang Si and father Han Pu have more than one wife in the family. However, he had to hold on to a bottom limit for the children of Shimen and Zelu. That is, the lady of the main house must be Chang Wanying. As for who is second and who is third, after Chang Wanying has passed the door, it will be the turn of the Tao family and the Huyan family to fight.

"My father and sister Chun will come over with grain and grass for you in a few days. You might as well make it clear to them face to face!" Although Tao Dachun has a generous temperament, he will never give in easily when it comes to protecting his sister. He smiled and added in a low voice.

"If General Zheng doesn't look down on my Huyan's daughter, my father's previous proposal can be abandoned. Hu Yanzan knew that his influence on Zheng Ziming was limited, so he simply came directly to retreat.

"You're not finished!When will it be your turn to call the shots in our family's affairs!" As soon as the words fell, Hu Yanyun, who was already so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill in, couldn't stay any longer, screamed, pulled his legs and left.

At this time, Zheng Ziming became more and more embarrassed. I wanted to explain a few more words to everyone, but I couldn't find any appropriate words in my stomach. I was forced to sweat. If it weren't for the fact that today's war has not yet been completely over, I really want to flee like Huyanyun immediately.

Just when he was embarrassed and embarrassed, more than a dozen brothers suddenly rushed out of the gate of the fortress that was wide open, and the first one was Tao Yong, who was ordered to enter the village to clean up the remnants of the enemy. Far away, he raised the steel knife in his hand at Zheng Ziming and shouted loudly: "Tu Zhuang, Tu Zhuang! General, his subordinates ask for Tu Zhuang." This fortress is full of beasts, and not a single one can be left!"

"Nonsense! Has our army suffered many losses today?" Zheng Ziming hurriedly straightened his face and scolded sharply as if he had been granted amnesty. "Didn't you say that you would only punish the evil, and never ask? Why did you suddenly have murderous intentions again?!"

"General, you, you go in and have a look, go in and have a look. The surname Zhu, the family surnamed Zhu is all dressed in a human skin in vain!" Tao Yong flew off the horse violently, poked the horizontal knife with one hand and knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "Subordinate, subordinate knows, knows that you have a good heart, and refuse to kill innocent people indiscriminately." However, in this Zhu family, there must be no one who is innocent!"

"General, inside, in this stockade, there are no people at all, not people!" the rest of the brothers also fell to their knees, crying and complaining.

These people are the first to follow Zheng Ziming's elite, and almost everyone has rolled between life and death many times in the past six months. It stands to reason that I have seen many big scenes, and my emotions should not fluctuate easily. But today, one by one, their eyes were red, their voices were intermittent, and their shoulders and bodies trembled because they thought they were too excited.

"Yuko, what's wrong with you. Don't get busy kneeling just yet. What the hell is going on, what do you see? You guys too, don't just cry, talk first, make things clear. Tao Dachun and Tao Yong are both from Taojiazhuang, and they are very familiar with the latter's temperament, seeing that this person is so angry, they have to put their sister-in-law's lifelong life aside in advance, take a few steps forward, and remind loudly.

"Yes, Commander Tao, is there still a Senluo Hall hidden in the fortress?"

"Commander Tao, you make it clear first!"

"Kill, kill, the whole family surnamed Zhu deserves to die! But why are you angry like this?"

Zhao Kuangyin, Han Chongyun and Hu Yanzan have also dealt with Tao Yong in recent times. Knowing that this son is not a reckless person, he quickly packed up the abacus in his heart and asked questions one after another!

After listening to everyone's words, Tao Yong's emotions finally calmed down a little. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face and yelled, "They, they're not human at all." They, they are all brutes, brutes in human skin! The stockade, there are several secret rooms hidden in the stockade, and inside, all the people inside are kidnapped dolls. Hundreds of babies, hundreds of babies' lower bodies, all in clay pots. (Note 1)

"Daozhou dwarf?" Zhao Kuangyin was erudite and knowledgeable, and immediately popped out of his mouth with an allusion. Immediately, he bent down and copied the copper-covered stick from his feet, and the joints of his ten fingers turned blue-gray in unison.

Han Chongyun, Hu Yanzan and the others first showed a little disbelief on their faces, and then they also roared, and their hands touched the hilts of their waists.

Cangzhou juggling is famous all over the world, from Jiangnan to Saibei, as long as it is prosperous, there must be one or two juggling teams who come to perform regularly. What stunts such as going up the knife mountain, getting off the oil pot, and changing into a living person, are all wonderful. And in addition to these commendable tricks, what is indispensable for every performance is the dwarf play. Those good-looking, big-headed and small-bodied male and female dwarfs often show up and can win the laughter of the audience without any performance. A few quips, or a few lewd gestures, will make the spectators throw a lot of copper coins into the field.

As a son-in-law with a good family background, Han Chongyun and Hu Yanzan and others have never seen juggling before, and they have not thrown rewards into the copper plates held by the dwarfs. But no one would have thought that those dwarfs with good faces and bodies as tall as three or five-year-old children were not born!

From being "planted" into a jar at the age of three or five, to being nurtured until the age of fourteen or fifteen to be able to make money, how much inhuman torture do children have to endure in the past ten years?

The answer can't be thought about at all, and when you think about it, you will feel that there is no ray of sunshine between heaven and earth.

"Tao Yong, lead the way!" At this moment, Zheng Ziming felt that in his heart, where could he still take care of the personal feelings of his children. With a steel whip in his hand, he rushed ahead of everyone. "If the situation is really as you said, Zheng will never let one go!"

"Never let one go!" Zhao Kuangyin, Han Chongyun, Yang Guangyi, Hu Yanzan and others gritted their teeth and repeated. All the previous calculations and unhappiness were all thrown away.

"Wait for me!Let's go!" Before rushing into the gate, Hu Yanyun, who had fled before, also joined the team with red eyes, and a handsome face was full of murderous intentions!

Under the guidance of Tao Yong, everyone soon came to the mansion of the owner of the village located in the center of Zhujiazhai. Before he arrived at the courtyard where the secret room was located, a wailing voice came from his ears, "Spare your life, don't fight, I'll move, I'll do anything!"

"Spare your life, the general spare your life. This was all done by the people below to hide it from the grass people, and the grass people didn't know about it, they really didn't know it!"

"Spare my life, spare my life, I'm just a minion, I'm just a minion. The owner of the village let me do it, I have to do it!"

"It's none of my business, it's none of my business, I'm going to my relatives, I'm going to my relatives, I'm going to my relatives, spare my life——!"

"Spare your life, the villain has nothing to do with this matter......"

And in the four places, there are more indignant accusations from the brothers, "Bastard, you have no children and no daughters in your family?"

"Beast, a human skin in vain!"

"Guarding a large pile of private salt, you are not satisfied, and you want to harm other people's children!

"What about your own children, why don't your own children put them in jars?"

"Boom!"

In the last sound, it was God who struck a thunderbolt and shook this sinful world.

The raindrops of beans smashed down on the head and face, but it could not extinguish the anger in the young man's heart. They quickened their legs, roared and rushed into the loudest yard, and then, instinctively, one by one, they stopped, and the cold was to the bone.

The first thing that caught the eye was not the angry brothers, nor the nephews of the Zhu family who cried and begged for mercy, but the rows of two-foot-tall clay pots. There were one hundred and fifty or sixty of them, and the courtyard was densely packed. And at the door of the secret room, there were brothers, with tears in their eyes, who were carrying out more clay pots one by one.

At the mouth of each clay pot, a big round head is revealed. Some are dying, while others are greedily sticking out their tongues to taste the air and rain they have seen for the first time in their lives. Others, with a pair of round eyes, looked around. Looking at the sky, looking at the ground, looking at the branches dancing in the wind and the rickety trunks of the trees, I feel extremely strange to everything......

When they saw that the Zhu family, who had raised themselves like livestock, was beaten to their knees and begged for mercy, their faces were covered with blood, and their eyes finally showed a trace of human feelings.

"God has opened his eyes, God has opened his eyes, God, you have finally opened your eyes!" a dwarf, who did not know his age, suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly.

"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-" Thunder rolled, lightning rushed around, as if to crush this ugly world.

Note 1: Artificial dwarfs, seen in Bai Juyi's long poem, "Daozhou People". Daozhou produces beautiful gnomes, which have been used as tribute to please emperors of all generations. It wasn't until Zuo Counsel Dafu Yangcheng was demoted to this place as an official that he found out that the dwarf was not born, but the official bought the beautiful child, put the body in a clay pot, fed very little food every day, and slowly cultivated.
