Chapter 2: Set fire to the mountain
Patched bedding was the most valuable thing in the stockade, and the bandits rushed into the bitter well in the backyard with the bedding in tow.
The water stored in the backyard is not enough, and the bandits also have a way to untie their belts and urinate, anyway, it is all water, and they can survive.
Although the stockade had some grain in stock, it was not at all satisfied with the cellar, and the number of 100 people lined up and squeezed into the cellar, unexpectedly crowded.
After the thieves all hid in fear, they suddenly realized why Li Subai knew that there was a cellar here?
"His grandmother's, is it possible that the chess player is the reincarnation of Zhuge Ye? You can really pinch it! ”
The owner of the village scolded and stepped on the entrance of the stairs, his back against the quilt, and he wanted the fire to really burn in, and he was the first to cook.
By the time the fire came up from below, the stockade was empty, and the cellar where the thieves were hiding was covered with layers of dripping quilts, and the top was covered with a layer of mud.
People shoulder to shoulder, some silently begging their ancestors with their eyes closed, others holding their weapons tightly and ready to fight at any time.
Li Subai's lips were pale and he was counting the time, it was dark in the cellar, and he couldn't see each other's faces clearly face to face, so he could only rely on pinching his fingers to calculate the time.
The owner of the village counted the subordinates who could fight in the village over and over again, sweating profusely waiting for someone to find out about this place, and then he drew his knife and went desperately.
This period of time was extremely difficult, and everyone felt that they were about to report to the Hades Palace, recalling the time when the wind and rain were smooth, and their mouths were full of bitterness.
waited until the crackling fire outside gradually died out, and there were people in the cellar who couldn't help but pull a few bubbles, but there were still no footsteps or shouts of killing.
"Did you really hide it? You guys go up and have a look! The owner of the village couldn't hold it back, and wanted to lift the quilt to open the door of the cellar and go out to find out.
Several thieves couldn't wait to go out to breathe, and they squeezed through the crowd with their hands and feet and were just about to go out, but they were stopped by Li Subai with his hand raised.
"If the body is not found in the fire, the officers and soldiers will not leave, we have to wait!"
"How long will it take?"
"I don't know, when everyone is hungry, they will have to leave."
Li Subai pursed her lips, trying to keep herself calm.
In the year of the catastrophe, every household had nothing to eat, and there were only two bowls of gruel and a few multigrain buns a day in the yamen.
When the owner of the village heard this, he bowed his head like a frosted eggplant, leaned on the wooden ladder with a knife, squinted his eyes and stopped talking.
"Boss! Wait! The bandits asked in frustration.
"If you wait, you wait! A bunch of brainless people! If you want to die, you have to pick a time! ”
The cellar was crowded with people, and after a long time, the smell was pungent and unpleasant, some people farted and peed, and some people snored all over the day.
This is like a group of bandits who kill people without blinking, and they are clearly hungry victims, Li Subak looked at the people around him, and felt a sadness in his heart.
The good end of the gale dynasty, which lasted for more than 600 years, passed to the hands of today's son, nine years of drought and nine years of flooding, starvation and millions of corpses, and beggars running around without enough to eat.
Thirteen states rise together, hundreds of kings hold high the banner of righteousness, Canghuang County is located in Youzhou, the place is vast and sparsely populated, it is a remote place.
Even disaster relief is not here, and the people are miserable.
Teacher, teacher, where is the opportunity you are talking about?
I think I, Li Suba, have been studying for fifteen years, and in the end, I can't swallow this bite of food when I set up a chess game in the county.
It really responds to the old saying: the times make heroes.
It's a pity that I've had bad luck and a bad fate, and I've been so down, and if the officers and soldiers had been smarter enough to come up and patrol the mountains, the cellar would not be difficult to discover.
Li Subo's hungry mind was dizzy, he had not touched a single meter half a day before he was captured by the bandits, and this thought was exhausting, and he unconsciously leaned on the shoulders of the people around him and fell asleep.
After some time, he heard some restless noise, followed by a cold air full of burnt smell.
Li Subai was choked by the cold air into his lungs, coughed violently and woke up, a dazzling light made people unable to open their eyes, the cellar mouth was opened at some point, and the people in front had already rushed out first.
"Wait...... And slow down...... "At this time, if you want to shout where to stop it, Li Subai was also forced out of the cellar by the crowd.
Whew...... There was a cold wind blowing from above, blowing crumbling flames and scorching the rhizomes of the dead grass.
The owner of the village, with a dozen bold people, stood on the top of the hill and looked around, and found that there was no shadow of officers and soldiers.
It turned out that the county magistrate had only been suffering for half a day, and his body was weak and could not bear the cold, so he withdrew with the officers and soldiers.
It was originally a team of officials, dart masters and street patrols, and when they saw a fire burned clean, they had no intention of begging for thieves, and they couldn't serve the county lord when they were hungry.
Li Subak slept for a day and a night, and it was already the early morning of the next day.
"Chess! Where did the chess players go? When the owner of the village returned, he laughed and looked for Li Subai, and after someone heard it, he pushed Li Subai out with all his hands and feet.
The owner of the village walked to him, threw the long knife and knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "There are many ghost ideas for playing chess, and they can save our lives in the fire, and from now on we will listen to you!" Although I don't know a few big characters, I know the most reason! ”
As soon as he knelt, a large number of people fell to their knees in the ruins of the cottage, all of which were the bandits who followed him into the grass.
"Clever chess game! Save your lives! Forget it if you say it in the future! ”
Don't look at this group of bandits who don't have any martial arts skills, but they are the most righteous and say whatever they say.
The joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made the thieves surround Li Subai in the middle and cheered, Li Subai was so noisy, he felt his mind was clouded, waved his hand and retreated, tripped over the branch without paying attention, and sat in the ashes.
"Gentlemen, I'm dizzy!"
"Hahaha! Lift you up, everybody! Take the knife! ”
Wang Yi threw the long knife to Li Subo, pulled his arm and raised it high, and the surrounding people cheered and hugged him up, which was lively for a while.
Just as everyone was in high spirits, a thin horse galloped along the mountain road outside.
On horseback sat a dusty half-grown child, handing Wang Yi a crumpled envelope.
"Invitation to Niushou Mountain! Our big boss invites you to go to Niushou Mountain, Sanshan Meeting! ”
Wang Yi took the paper, pretended to look at it for a long time, and then handed it to Li Subo.
"Got it, so that you bosses can rest assured, I'm okay!"
The messenger looked around, looked at the destruction of the cottage and the disgraced faces of everyone, shook his head happily and said: "It's all up to you, since everyone is fine, I'll go back to report to the big boss!" ”
