Chapter 3 There is no justice in the world

After being robbed by mountain bandits, Zheng Kang was confiscated and tied up. The other three looked weak and couldn't make it to the climate. I didn't care.

The crowd noticed that the car was moving down the mountain road.

Wangxia Mountain is extremely high, Gongyi thought that he would walk for a while, but he didn't think about it, but after a while, the kung fu car stopped.

When I got out of the car, I saw several shoddy, makeshift wooden houses.

A group of four people was brought into one of the rooms. When I looked around, I saw that the wooden house was divided into two rooms, and the outside room had only one table and two stools. Nothing else.

Although I felt very simple, I didn't say anything.

But Zheng Kang quit. "Don't you see that there are four of us?" Zheng Kang said angrily.

"So what?" The man who led them asked rhetorically, unimpressed.

"You ......" Zheng Kang was about to continue, but Gongyi suddenly stopped him and motioned for him to be silent.

Seeing that Gongyi's face was fine, the man stopped entangled with Zheng Kang, let out a "sigh", and went straight out.

After the door was locked, Zheng Kang looked at his young master, his face was very puzzled, "Young master, we are a group of four, and after all, there is a difference between men and women. How can you live in the same house? ”

Gongyi sat down and replied, "There is a difference between men and women. But you also see that this courtyard is full of thieves, and it will be very dangerous if Li'er and Qinglu are separated from us. ”

Zheng Kang came over in a white voice, with an apologetic face, and said, "It's me who didn't think it through." ”

Gongyi waved his hand to let him rest, and then let the second daughter go into the back room to rest.

The crowd was kept locked up until evening, when the door was opened.

The man who came in was the same young man who had brought them here in the morning, and when the young man opened the door, he looked at Gongyi and said, "Boy, come out." Our boss has something to ask you. ”

When Zheng Kang heard this, he immediately stood up and stopped in front. Gong Yi immediately stood up, pulled Zheng Kang over, and said in a low voice, "Take care of them." I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

With that, he walked straight out.

The man glanced sideways at Zheng Kang, then walked out and locked the door again.

Gongli heard the movement in the house, came out to check, and saw that his brother had been taken out. Immediately anxious.

After Gong Yi came out of the wooden house, she followed the young man and walked inside. Although it was getting dark, there were still many men running back and forth, seemingly busy.

After a short time, Gong Yi followed him to the innermost wooden house here.

As soon as he entered, Gongyi saw the strong man in the morning sitting upright, and an old woman standing beside him. Apart from these two, there is no one else.

The young man bowed to the strong man, and without saying a word, he retreated and closed the door with his hand.

Gongyi stood in place, not knowing what the other party wanted.

The strong man beckoned to Gongyi and motioned to sit down. Then the old woman spontaneously stepped aside, lit the fire in the stove, as if to boil water to make tea.

Gongyi saw that the old woman was skillful, but she was silently amazed in her heart.

"What do you call the little brother?" The strong man asked, but his tone was quite kind.

Since Gongyi entered the house, the strong man has been looking at him. Fang Cai only glanced at the carriage and did not pay attention to the details.

And goodbye at this time, I saw that this young man was slender, and the jade tree was in the wind, although he was wearing coarse clothes, he still couldn't hide his humble son's temperament. Standing in front of me, I saw Confucianism and Taoism, ancestors and sages. The smell of books is even more overwhelming.

"Under Gongyi. What do you call it if you don't know what to call it? ”

After hearing the young man's name, the strong man was stunned for a moment. Because I seem to have heard this name somewhere, it always feels very familiar. But no matter how much I think about it, I still can't think of it. I had to give up.

And looking at this young man again, I saw that his face was calm, his steps were calm, and there was no fear at all. I can't help but praise secretly.

The strong man smiled, "The little brother is not afraid of danger, but he is quite a young hero." I am a reckless man, called Zou Chi. I'm a straight person and don't like to beat around the bush. Let's just say it bluntly, I don't know what the relationship between that person today and Brother Gong is? ”

The young man didn't seem to expect him to ask this, and after being stunned for a long time, he smiled bitterly and said,

"That person's name is Zhu Zijie. He is the commander of the Zuozhou Qucheng Protector Army. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the sister went to Cheng'en Temple with her mother to pray for blessings, and met this Zhu Zijie on the way to lead the troops to practice in Dapoping.

At that time, it was late autumn, and the housemate saw the golden and gorgeous outside, and couldn't help but look outward, but unfortunately, Zhu Zijie saw this scene, and was intoxicated at that time. After that, I forgot to forget it, sent people around to inquire, and then I learned that it was my Gong family's children.

At that time, before the housesister was in time, Zhu Zijie threatened to wait for the housemate and the house, so he came to marry and accepted him as a concubine. Then, despite my parents' objections, he left the dowry and left.

A few days ago, my sister was a courtesy, and my parents were afraid that Zhu Zijie would come to rob people, so they arranged for our brothers and sisters to go to the uncle's house for temporary refuge.

It's just that I didn't expect that Zhu Zijie would dare to take troops to the realm without permission and want to rob her sister. ”

Speaking of this, the young man still stood up and saluted Zou Chi, and said sincerely, "If it weren't for the step-by-step stop, I'm afraid that the sister would have been snatched back by that Zhu Zijie." ”

Zou Chi listened, raised his eyebrows and glared, and said angrily, "How can this be reasonable!" This Zhu Zijie is so shameless! Unexpectedly, it was to forcibly rob people in broad daylight! ”

In fact, Zou Chi first heard Zhu Zijie call him "little wife", and thought that he had already passed the door. If it really passes the door, it is someone else's family matter, and it is naturally difficult to say anything to yourself.

But now other people's women are unwilling, this thief robbed the people's women in broad daylight, and Lang Lang Qiankun was the first to humiliate people's reputation.

Directly angry, Zou Chi gasped, and the roots of his teeth itched. I can't wait to cut Zhu Zijie's thief with a knife.

When the young man saw Zou Chi's demeanor, his heart was instantly full of joy and gratitude.

At this time, the old woman brought a cup of tea. Gongyi took it and sniffed it, only to feel that the fragrance of tea was overflowing. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the old woman.

Fang Cai Gongyi only said that she was an old woman, and at this time, she found that although her clothes were shabby, they were very clean. The gray hair hangs down in front of the face, covering half of the face, teaching people to see clearly.

can reveal that half of the face only has a few sparse and sparse wrinkles, which is not at all like this appearance that shows the vicissitudes of life.

I thought it was an old woman, but it turned out to be an eldest lady.

Gongyi nodded slightly to the woman to show her respect, and casually praised, "The eldest lady really made a good tea." ”

The woman was stunned when she heard this, and only after a moment did she turn around and make another cup of tea and hand it to Zou Chi.

I saw Zou Chi take the teacup, regardless of whether it was hot, he poured it directly.

Then, as if he remembered something, he muttered, "Qucheng? Gong family? ”

Suddenly remembering something, he looked at Gongyi and asked, "Are you the Qucheng Gong family?" Have you ever heard of Gong Xingsheng? ”

"He's my father. Do you know your father? ”

Zou Chi shook his head suddenly, but nodded again, "I can't talk about acquaintance, only I'm lucky enough to hear about it." Last year, there was a famine near Tancheng, and the people were struggling to make a living. Later, some good people set up tents, gave white porridge, and relieved many victims. Later, I learned that it was the old man of Qucheng Gong, Gong Xingsheng Gong Da Ben Man. ”

"My father has done such a good deed? I only know that my father did go to Tancheng last year. As for the disaster relief soup kitchen, I don't know much about it. It's just that since my father came back from Tancheng, he often lamented and seemed to be sad. Now that I have heard this, I have some enlightenment. ”

Zou Chi's face was slightly embarrassed, and he was a little embarrassed, "Little Brother Gong, I'm a few years older than you, you should call me 'Brother Zou' directly." I didn't know that the little brother was actually the son of Engong, otherwise I wouldn't dare to be so lazy. ”

Zou Chi put the teacup on the table, sighed and said, as if there was infinite sadness, "It would be great if everyone in the world could be like a kind person......

It turns out that this Zou Chi was originally a person from Zuozhou Zoujiazhuang, which is located in the east of Tancheng in Zuozhou, bordering Rongzhou.

But who would have thought that just after the Spring Festival this year, a strange beast suddenly appeared in Zoujiazhuang, and the beast was extremely violent, and it bit people when they saw it.

At the beginning, when the villagers saw that the beast had wounded several people, they banded together to surround it and then kill it. But at the moment of danger, the beast opened its mouth and spewed flames, turning the entire village into a sea of fire. Hundreds of acres of fertile land were also burned.

And the sea of fire burned for three days and three nights, day and night, and finally burned the nearby Lijiazhuang together.

Zoujiazhuang is adjacent to Lijiazhuang, both are very close to Tancheng, but the fire burned the sky, and no one in the city came out to help for several days.

Later, the surviving people of the two villages lost their houses and fields. I was really helpless, so I wanted to ask Tancheng for help, but I didn't expect to stay outside the city for a few days, and I didn't see anyone in the city helping, and I didn't even see anyone reply.

It's just that the city of Natan has sealed the gate for some reason, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

The people of Liangzhuang were finally disheartened, ran to other places, and came to live in Wangxia Mountain temporarily.

And the more than 1,000 people are all the people of Zoujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang.

Later, Gongyi also learned that the place where these more than 30 people lived was close to the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the old and weak women and children were all in the middle of the mountainside.

They are here to seal the mountain road as an outpost, not to let others go up, but also to better transmit messages to the top in a timely manner.

And Zou Chiben was quite prestigious in the village, and the village chief of Lijiazhuang unfortunately passed away. Only then did the people of Liangzhuang listen to Zou Chi.

After understanding the ins and outs of this situation, Gong Yi expressed deep sympathy. The heart is that there is no justice in the world, and it is "the hemp rope is broken in detail, and bad luck only looks for the miserable." ”

At this time, a question suddenly came to mind, "Brother Zou, all the fertile land in your house was burned down, so how did you survive the cold winter here?" ”

After asking this question, he saw Zou Chi looking at the woman and did not answer.

The woman nodded slowly after a long time, and Zou Chi looked at Gongyi and said, "It was this Aunt Yu who saw that we were pitiful and gave us a thousand taels of silver." Let's go to this city of clear springs to do things. This is enough to survive the bitter winter. ”

Saying that, Zou Chi shook his head and said bitterly, "But Aunt Yu's wealth is also limited, and there are many of us. Recently, this money has bottomed out. It was really helpless, so I moved the idea of blocking the road and borrowing money. ”

After glancing at Gong Yi, he snorted, "Don't hide it, little brother Gong, you are the first group of people we met. ”

Gongyi was speechless for a while.

Quietly glanced at Aunt Yu, and saw that Aunt Yu was skillful in making tea, and this tea was quite precious. When I listened to it again at this time, I realized that Aunt Yu was not from their village. I'm afraid that Aunt Yu has an extraordinary background.

Thinking about it, he quietly glanced at Zou Chi again, but I was afraid that Brother Zou didn't know what the price of this tea was. If you knew, would you still be willing to drink like that?

"Brother Zou is not in a hurry, although my father is not powerful, he still has some money. My father has always told me, 'When it is snow, you must send charcoal, and when you encounter it, you must not add flowers to it.' 'Wait for me to repair a book, clarify the original situation, and help Brother Zou solve his urgent needs. ”

When Zou Chi heard this, his heart was full of sorrow, and there was a flash of water in his eyes, but his expression was eager to laugh and cry.

Before, Feng Gong Xingsheng tarpaulin porridge saved his own people; And now, when he met his son Gongyi's generosity, he saved himself again. This two successive reinvention moves, the grace of saving lives, it is really not enough to be a cow or a horse.

His voice trembled, and he was a little choked, "This ......, this ......" suddenly got up quickly and bowed down to Gongyi.

Gongyi was shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Brother Zou, this can't be helped!" ”

Zou Chi brushed away Gongyi's hand, insisted on kneeling down, his head on the ground, and choked up, "Little brother Gong, your Gong family father and son are all great good people and good people, and we will never be rewarded for our great kindness!"

At the beginning, we all thought that we would not be able to live, so we stayed outside the city for three days and three nights. In just three days, many people have frozen to death and starved to death! There was really no choice, so I led a group of villagers to leave their homeland and find a place to live. We went all the way south, and we didn't know how many children and how many elderly people died of starvation and freezing on the way.

I originally had the idea of robbing Brother Gong, and I really damn it. I know that I don't have the face to accept the help of Brother Gong, but ......, but there are still more than a thousand mouths waiting to eat here, and more than a thousand people waiting to keep warm. I really don't dare to refuse, I really don't dare. ”

Gong Yi listened to his words, tears in her eyes were also swirling, the death of a pet that she had had for several years was already heartbroken, not to mention thousands of living people.

Scenes kept coming to mind, thousands of people huddled into a group one by one, lying under the city wall. After the night, many people who were alive could never wake up again.

There was a long procession walking in the heavy snow, and every now and then a man fell down from exhaustion, unable to open his eyes or see the sky again.

And Zou Chi has the responsibility on his shoulders, he must lead everyone down, and he must find a way for everyone to live. To whom can he speak of the sorrow, indignation, pain, and desolation in his heart?

Aunt Yu on the side saw that the two of them were in tears, and a different color appeared on her face. But the two of them looked so focused at this time that they didn't notice it at all.

"Brother Zou, it's serious. If I am in Brother Zou's situation, I am afraid that I will not be as righteous as Brother Zou. ”

After that, he changed his words and said, "Brother Zou, without further ado." I don't know if there is a pen, ink, paper, inkstone? I immediately wrote a letter to my father about the cause of the yin and sent the money as soon as possible. ”

When Zou Chi heard this, his face was a little red, "We are poor now, and we don't have it." ”

When Gongyi heard this, she felt a little embarrassed. These people have no home, no money. It's hard to settle down here temporarily, and if you don't have enough food and clothing, how can you use life-saving money to buy some useless pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

After Yin Bai came over, he hurriedly spoke out of relief, "Brother Zou, it's not early." It's a cloudy morning, and I'll ask someone to buy it back, and then I'll fix another book. ”

Zou Chi heard this and nodded in agreement.

Zou Chi was also anxious, and only then did he realize that the four of them were still hungry, and hurriedly said, "Little Brother Gong, the four of you haven't eaten for a day, you must be hungry." I'm going to get someone ready now, and let's eat it together!" ”

With that, he hurried out, shouting a name.

Gongyi looked at Zou Chi's back, but the pain in her heart was indescribable.
