Thirty miles away on the outskirts of Qinyang County, in a luxurious room in the countryside, Zhang Dacang's rich body was constricted in the water tank, and his small body was trembling incessantly in the soaked cold water.

"I can't die, I can't die! I want to find my father and mother!" Zhang Dacang clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the cold water, but he kept whispering this sentence in his small mouth, and with the encouragement of this sentence, he finally slowly overcame the extremely strong fear in his heart.

Slowly crawled out and looked at the corpses that had gradually become stiff all over the yard, Zhang Dacang cried bitterly,

I remembered that at this time, the autumn and winter were alternating, and the sun refined the river water in the west of the village into jasper, and dyed it into golden soup. The river flows down from the south to the north. Every day, boats and wooden rafts flow from south to north. There is a wharf on the east bank of the river, and the name of the village is the same as the name. In the evening, the boats passing through this section of the raft will dock for accommodation, bringing countless business opportunities to the village. Five hundred meters to the east of the river is the core area of Yacidu Village, where the villagers live in a concentrated manner, and a trade road divides the village into two from east to west, and on both sides of the trade road there are shops and inns for medicine, rice, wine and meat. Because of the continuous flow of people all day long, the business atmosphere is very strong, and it is called Xiaoqinyang City by merchants. But he was robbed of property by a group of bandits and bandits who suddenly broke in, and hacked the Zhang family who were doing business to death with a knife, and Zhang Dacang was put in the kitchen water tank by his father Zhang Dabin, but he didn't dare to move, didn't dare to scream, until the mountain bandits and bandits were far away, he still didn't dare to cry.

The shouts of killing in the village gradually stopped, but then there was a raging fire, accompanied by the sound of dry wood burning and the obsolete sound of peeling, and the bandits even set fire to the houses after killing people. Seeing that the fire in the house was on fire, and the smoke choked Zhang Cannon, he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and rushed out of the kitchen while the fire was not completely up.

The one behind him slowly collapsed in the raging fire, and finally turned into ashes, Zhang Dacang stood beside the blazing fire, at a loss, and finally shed two lines of tears, but still did not cry, for fear of attracting bandits and bandits again.

"The bandits are running! Chase them! Don't let the bandits run away!" Suddenly, a group of officers and soldiers with spears and knives rushed into the village with a loud shout, but these officers and soldiers were not in a hurry to chase the bandits, but were busy collecting the dead people's property.

It's just that the villagers' money and property have been looted by the bandits, and where is there anything of value left? The officers and soldiers couldn't help but be disappointed, and scolded their mothers.

"Cut off the heads of these dead people and hand them over to the county government as the heads of bandits, and each of them can receive two taels of silver! The brothers are quick to throw the remaining headless corpses into the fire and bury them on the spot, leaving no evidence!" a commanding officer and soldier who seemed to be the leader shouted loudly. All the officers and soldiers agreed in unison, and they all looked for dead bodies to cut off their heads, and one officer and soldier had just cut off the head of a dead man, and when he looked up, he saw Zhang Dacang standing blankly beside the ashes outside the grass hut.

"He Zhutou, there is still a living child here!" The officer and soldier were overjoyed when he saw this, and rushed over with a shout, so frightened that he ran away with his cannon, but the other man had short calves and a fat body, so how could he compare to the officer and soldier with a big waist and a round waist behind him?

Zhang Dacang did not struggle like an ordinary child, yelling, because he knew that anyway, it had fallen into the hands of these wicked people, and sooner or later he would die, if he didn't struggle, he would suffer less, and suffer less beatings and scolding, but if he struggled badly, he would inevitably have to eat a few big-ear scrapers, with his current physical condition, I am afraid that even a big-eared scraper would not be able to bear it, it is better to wait for someone to be killed with a knife, so that it will be happy and suffer a lot.

Seeing that Zhang Dacang was no longer struggling, the officer and soldier with a big waist and a round waist had no intention of hitting him, but just threw him on the side of the road and warned viciously: "If you run again, I will break your legs!"

Zhang Dacang didn't speak, naturally he didn't dare to run away anymore, sat quietly on the ground and waited for death, and soon saw a middle-aged officer and soldier with fierce eyes walking over with dozens of officers and soldiers, and asked, "Zhuang Er, what's wrong?"

"Lord Wang Zhutou, if you find a living mouth, how do you think you should deal with it? Did you kill and pretend to be a thief and send it to the county government to receive a reward?" The officer and soldier named Zhuang Lao Er ran a few steps forward and said flatteringly.

I only heard a snap, but the third side of the village was slapped heavily on the face, and He Zhutou scolded: "Grandma's second goods, you have no brains! Is there such a small bandit who came to ransack the village?"

"That'...... What do you always say? He has seen with his own eyes that we have killed good people and made meritorious deeds, and it is always a disaster to stay!" Zhuang Lao Er covered one side of his swollen cheek, still laughing and said, but he didn't dare to get angry at all.

"What else can I do? As before, bring it back to the county seat and sell it to the Black Tiger Gang, if you are caught by the Black Tiger Gang, you can still earn more than ten or twenty taels of silver, and the people of the Black Tiger Gang are extremely generous!" He Zhutou said with a smile.

"Yes, look at my pig brain, why did you forget this?" said the third Zhuang Laosan, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Dacang's collar, and said: "Boy, don't think about running away! I will go back to the county seat with my grandfather and find you a place to solve the problem of food and clothing, it is better than suffering and starving outside, but don't say half a word to outsiders about what you see today, otherwise, you will be the same as them!"

That Zhuang Lao San said, pointing to the headless corpse on the ground, Zhang Dacang was full of excitement, and nodded hurriedly, indicating that he understood, that Zhuang Lao Er saw that Zhang Dacang was very well-behaved, and he had nothing to say, but he knew the energy of He Catcher, not to mention that this kid was talking nonsense, even if he sued the county lord, there was no trouble at all, so he didn't worry about whether to seal or not, anyway, there was a tall man on top of the sky falling.

After working in the middle of the night, the group of officers and soldiers was finally done, and the houses in the countryside and the corpses of the villagers and peasants had already turned to ashes.

At this time, the sky is gradually brightening, this group of dozens of officers and soldiers carrying spears and talking and laughing towards the road, each officer and soldier at this time the sky is gradually brightening, this group of dozens of officers and soldiers carrying spears and talking and laughing towards the road, each officer and soldier has several heads hanging on the spears, the head is scattered to see the appearance clearly, most of them are still scratched faces, can not distinguish the original appearance at all, but Zhang Dacang knows clearly in his heart that the owners of these heads are simple villagers who have been living with him in the village and his own family.
