Beizhou, Yuan'an County.

Zhang Shibai lay quietly in the shadows cast by the city wall, his eyes staring at the sky with a little hollowness, numb and desperate.

He was hungry, very hungry, very hungry.

Zhang Eighteen hadn't eaten seriously for several days, and he was already hungry and had no strength, thinking of this, he accepted the instinct and grabbed a handful of dirt with difficulty and stuffed it into his mouth.

Dirt and can not be eaten.

It's bitter, dry, and hard to eat, and it's mixed with some kind of unknown grass roots, and even smells of, and I don't know what happened to this land before.

In short, it's hard to swallow at all.

However, even so, Zhang 18 still swallowed the handful of dirt.

In fact, he also knows that soil is not food, and if he eats it, he will not be able to live, but he can make himself feel temporarily full, so that he can offset a little hunger.

In the northwest land, there has been a severe drought for many years, and the families above the middle level still have some grain in stock, and they can barely get by, but poor people like Zhang Shibai have no ability to resist when they encounter such natural disasters.

They can only look at the fields that have been harvested in despair, and then leave their homes to become beggars, praying for a little food to survive.

But.

In the end, Zhang Shibai still couldn't walk, lay down, and lay down under Yuan'an County, without any strength in his body.

If there had been no accident, he would have died soon.

"Hungry, hungry, really hungry."

"If only someone kind could give me some food to survive, and whatever he tells me to do, I'll do it."

Zhang 18 thought endlessly:

"I will be a slave for him, a slave for the rest of my life, I will give him my life, and my descendants will also work for my benefactor for life and life to repay the grace of life.

"If I can have a son in my life."

When he was desperate, Zhang Shibai had a lot of reverie in his heart, looking forward to the appearance of a kind-hearted person who could give him a way to live, and he also made a decision in his heart, no matter who it was, as long as he gave him a little food and let him live, no matter what the benefactor asked him to do, he would not refuse.

Even if he was asked to kill the bully landlords in the village before, the tax collectors he was particularly afraid of before, and the fierce bandits entrenched in the mountains, he was willing and would not hesitate.

I didn't ask for anything else, I just wanted to get a little food to survive.

Thinking like this, Zhang Shiba's spirit became a little trance, and even he almost couldn't feel that hunger anymore.

He knew in his heart that he was dying.

It's just that.

Until now.

Still no kind people came to help him.

Zhang Shiba's heart was swallowed up by darkness little by little, and he fell into deep despair, there was a great terror between life and death, and just when he fell into despair, a strong unwillingness suddenly surged in his heart:

"I'm not reconciled, I'm really unwilling!"

He is indeed unwilling, he hates, hates that the thief does not give him a way to live, hates the court for not giving him a way to live, hates the landlord for not giving him a way to live, and the tax collector does not give him a way to live, he hates everything in the world!

Why?

Why should those who oppress the good and wash the marrow and drink the blood can live well, have food to eat, and warm clothes to wear?

And he Zhang 18, worked hard for half his life, worked in the field before dawn every day, went home after dark, and in the end he had nothing, not only had to leave his hometown to beg, but even lived for most of his life, without a woman or a daughter-in-law.

Even if he was already miserable, God still wouldn't give him Zhang 18 a way to live, and now, he was going to starve to death.

Why do the wicked live? Can those old men live?

And he can't live?

He is eighteen, and he is also a human!

Living people!

Why? Why?

"Hahaha, if there is a choice, if I still have the strength, I will not die like this, I will take advantage of my strength to kill the fat-headed and big-eared landlord surnamed Liu in our village, rob his food, sleep in his house, sleep with his woman! They are all human beings, so why should I be worse than him? People live for a lifetime, and I am willing to live vigorously once

"I don't want to die like I am now.

"I'm really unwilling!

"What if...... If there's still a chance. ”

Tick...... Tick.

At this time, a cloud of water suddenly poured into Zhang Shibai's almost dry throat, making him swallow instinctively, and by this stimulation, he recovered his spirit and opened his eyes.

"Come, brother, if you don't dislike it.

"Eat this cake and live."

I don't know when, there was a tall man with a beard squatting next to Zhang Shiba, he was dressed as a chivalrous man, watching Zhang Shibai drink water, he handed over a cake with a kind expression, and said:

"Eat slowly, I'll have it yet."

This cake was dark yellow in color, and just by looking at it, you knew that it was not made of fine grains, but of coarse grains, and even, perhaps, mixed with some wheat bran grass roots and the like, perhaps, wild vegetables.

However, even so, Zhang Shibai held it in his mouth, and felt that it was a delicacy in the world, and he seemed to have never eaten such a delicious cake in his life.

The bread was not delicious, but it was the food that could keep him alive, the food that pulled him back from the Ghost Gate to the yang world, and it was more precious to him than gold.

Zhang 18 didn't have time to thank him, while drinking water, he gnawed on the cake in his hand, and even had a tendency to stay away from the bearded man, he instinctively wanted to protect the food in his hand, at this time, Zhang 18 was a beast, no one could take away the food in his hand, even if it was his benefactor.

The bearded man stood up and said to Zhang Shiba:

"Eat slowly, don't worry, I still have it here.

"In addition, you are probably very hungry, and you can't eat too much at once, otherwise be careful to break your belly."

After saying this, he took a step forward and left a sentence:

"If you want to live, get up and come with me.

"I have a way to let you die here, but as long as you keep up with me, you will have to die for me in the future, you have to think about this clearly."

When Zhang Shibai heard this, while swallowing the food, he used all his strength to stand up crookedly, and walked with difficulty with his beard.

At this time, he realized that there were many people in the neighborhood who were dressed like bearded men, distributing food and helping people like him.

"I want to live, I want to live!

"I can only live if I follow him."

With this belief firmly in his heart, Zhang Shiba's mind was wooden, and his eyes were fixed on the bearded figure, and he slowly followed the figure.

In fact, his body was extremely weak at this time, and he could have died after falling again.

But.

Even so, Zhang 18 still insisted on following the pace of the bearded man, because only by following him could he have food and live.

Life is fragile and tenacious.

Like weeds.

This is fully reflected in Zhang Shiba's body, he ate cakes, drank water, and actually recovered his spirit, and after that, the will to survive completely occupied his heart, and he insisted on following.

At this moment, Zhang Shibai only has the word survival in his heart, so the beard that represents food, food, and can survive has become the only belief in Zhang Shiba's heart.

Moreover, after the wandering of life and death just now, Zhang Shibai seemed to have let go of some worldly shackles in his heart, and he secretly swore that as long as this bearded man could let him live, he could really work for this guy, even if it was to kill the landlord, the corrupt official, or the emperor, he would do it.

As the bearded man wandered outside the county seat, helping more and more people, more and more people followed him.

In just one afternoon, tens of thousands of people gathered.

Moreover, don't look at these people as weak as they are, but in fact, as long as these people live to be raised, they are all strong men, because those old people, children, and women will die of hunger to such an extent.

The bearded man walked up to a high platform improvised from a mound of earth, looked around, and shouted loudly, so that everyone around him could hear his voice:

"Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, a certain one, Yuan'an Orion Zhang Shu, since he was a child, followed his father to hunt, learned a skill, relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and water, and lived in the past, but in recent years, the evil officials have too many taxes, and the days are really unbearable, so they can only kill the officials and rebel, today, I come, one is to save you, but to take you to rebel, against this world, and change a way of living.

"We have a great drought in the northwest for many years, the people are not able to make a living, and you are also hard-working people, so you have to leave your hometown to beg, but there is no way to live, now you want to live, if you want to live forever, follow me to rebel, I will take you to rob!

"To rob those bullying landlords, to think about those corrupt officials, to rob those fierce thieves, to rob all those who are not good to us.

"Fuck it! Grab a way out! ”

At this time, a large flag had been erected beside him, with black letters on a white background:

"Begging!"

The bearded Zhang Shu's voice became louder

"All human beings live their lives and should be born equal.

"Why did I wait for half my life to work hard, but in the end, I ended up like this, and those children of wealthy families were born with fine clothes and food, food to open their mouths, clothes to stretch their hands, and enjoy beautiful wives and concubines, this is not fair!

"Now I will take you to ask for a fairness, this fairness, God will not give it, the court will not give it, and the wealthy family will not give it, then we will take it ourselves, rob it ourselves, and take it ourselves! I will take you to a different way of living, and from now on, drink a lot, eat meat, kill people, and sleep with beautiful women.

"Brothers who want to have a vigorous life, just follow me, and brothers who want to continue to live, just follow me!"

The words of Zhang Shu, who has a beard, are very straightforward and quite direct, which is to directly provoke the antagonism between these people who can't survive and those high-ranking officials and nobles.

But I have to say that his words are very inflammatory, and the effect is also very good, the people who can beg here are all people who can no longer live, most of them are ordinary people, which one does not have a tragic experience? Which one has not been bullied?

So.

Zhang Shu's words are easy to resonate in the hearts of everyone, and it is easy to be recognized by everyone, at this moment, as he ascended to the heights, these dull, depressed, numb and even twisted and crazy people finally began to break out, they roared angrily and shouted:

"Kill landlords and bullies, kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials!

"We will eat meat, we will drink wine, we will live in big houses, we will sleep with beautiful women, and we will have people carry on our lineage.

"Kill, kill!!"

This is the shout.

A cry from below.

These people have been forced to the brink of life and death, but there is a great terror between life and death, and everyone does not want to die, so in order to survive, they must also explode.

Zhang Shu heard the roar around him, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he couldn't help but smile incomprehensibly, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the still majestic Yuan'an County, and saw that although the officers and soldiers above were dressed in elite clothes, they were very flustered between their actions, and they were on full alert, for fear that this group of rebels who had been instigated would immediately break out and attack the county seat.

"Dirt Chicken Tile Dog!"

Zhang Shu smiled disdainfully and turned around.

Now this Yuan'an county seat, the city is high and the pool is deep, just rely on these guys who only have emotions, but are still bare-handed, there is still no way to directly attack the county, and if they go up, they will be sent to death.

But.

Zhang Shu didn't have the idea of attacking the county seat now, his arm was pressed down, and the audience slowly became silent, he immediately waved his arm and said:

"Let's go, go to the countryside and kill those rich people."

"Let's go drink, eat meat, and sleep with women!"

Persimmon has to pick up soft pinch, their group of people is a rabble, there is no way to take Yuan'an County for the time being, but it is no problem to deal with those rich people in the countryside.

The crowd left the county seat in a huge way.

At this time, these people who were almost desperate but hopeful, although they were all ragged and weak, and some even couldn't hold on halfway, and fell to the ground and died.

However, inside this team, there is a crazy atmosphere brewing, and at this moment, this group of people is no longer human, but a group of beasts.

For three days, this group of rebels began to sweep the towns and villages around Yuan'an County, killing all the rich landowners who had been entrenched in the local area for decades or hundreds of years, and also did what they had always wanted to do:

"Drink, eat meat, sleep in a warm house, and enjoy beautiful women."

After doing these things, the spirit of these chaotic people is different, less of the feeling of cowering as a civilian, as if removing some kind of spiritual lock, at this time, they no longer feel that those high-ranking lords are nothing, if these people dare to bully them, they will definitely not be as before, go against the grain, but will directly pick up a knife to cut people, this is a change of temperament.

By the time the team returned to Yuan'an County, although the formation was still crooked, the eyes looking at Yuan'an County had become different, full of greed and desire.

But there was no fear.

Zhang Shu immediately ordered:

"Beggars.

"Siege!"

With his order passed down, tens of thousands of people began to swarm the project, these days, they have made improvised siege equipment, like locusts to climb the city wall, at this time, most of these chaotic people are excited, they are now crazy, like beasts, thinking that after breaking through the county, kill more people, get more wealth, eat more fragrant meat, drink more fragrant wine, sleep beautiful women.

The officials and soldiers in Yuan'an County are all elite, even if they are one enemy and ten, it will not be a problem to deal with this group of chaotic people.

However, there are too few people in the official army, and there are too many people in this group of chaotic people, as the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, plus this group of chaotic people almost uninterrupted siege of the city, indiscriminately punching the old master to death.

An hour later, the elite of the official army collapsed, and they rushed down the city wall, returned to their homes, and opened the gate on the other side with the family, and began to flee for their lives.

In fact, these elite officers and soldiers, if they really want to defend the city and fight to the death, they may be able to keep the county seat of Yuan'an safe for a few days, but if they really want to do that, many of them will definitely die.

And most of these officers and soldiers are the pillars of the family, both old and young, if they die, it will be a disaster for a family.

People are selfish.

Moreover, even if these officers and soldiers insist on guarding for a day or two, it is useless, if the reinforcements do not come soon, Yuan'an County will not be able to hold it, after all, this group of rebels has robbed so many rich people, and the food is sufficient, so they can hold on, but there are no reinforcements around At this time, the Southern Barbarian army is pressing the border, and a large number of elites are at the border.

Therefore, these elite officers and soldiers did not have the heart to fight to the death, and felt that they could not do anything, so they abandoned the city and fled with a tacit understanding.

Yuan'an County is easily broken.

The rebels then poured in like wild beasts, and for a while, the city was full of shouts and fireworks, and it had become a purgatory on earth.

"Very good, something big has happened!"

When Zhang Shu saw this scene, there was no mercy in his eyes, he took out a big bow from his back, and shot an arrow at the plaque at the head of Yuan'an County, piercing the plaque at once, showing an extremely deep martial arts cultivation.

This is not at all a martial art that a hunter should have.

Zhang Shu waved his hand and said to his subordinates:

"Let's go, let's go into town.

"Enter our city!"

With the fall of Yuan'an County, the power of Zhang Shu's subordinates has swelled dramatically, and in a short period of time, a full five county towns and half counties have been laid, and the momentum is huge.

Affected by this, the crater of the entire northwest land immediately erupted, like a fire in the plain, and rebel armies emerged in various places, and the northwest land suddenly became chaotic.
