Chapter 3: A Chance Encounter in the Middle of the Night

Da Kui was so depressed that he squatted at the entrance of the vegetable market for half an hour, and no one cared about Chai He. I casually looked up and saw that there were seven or eight people lying there in the shadow of the shade of the trees in the opposite room. 'Maybe it's the one who repairs the roof,' Da Kui thought to himself.

After another moment, there was a lot of noise in the direction of the execution ground on the street, and then I saw the people fleeing in all directions. At this time, the people in the opposite room moved, and they all held a hard bow and arrow bag in their hands. These people raised their upper bodies and fired a volley, then reflexively jumped from the house to the tree, and then fell from the tree to the ground, with a light and agile movement similar to that of a tanuki, in one go. Da Kui was stunned, and saw that as soon as these people landed, they divided into two groups, one group to the east and the other to the west, and disappeared with the flow of people.

Da Kui was curious for a moment, and walked to the street to look in the direction of the execution ground. A lot of officers and soldiers gathered there, and they couldn't see what was going on. It happened that there was a big rock on the corner of the street, and Da Kui climbed the stone to take a look at it. This one can't be seen: "Oh, mother, come on, kill someone~!"

Da Kui climbed down from the rock, got up and ran away, and didn't run a few steps to remember anything. Turned around and ran back, picked up the firewood, and galloped all the way to the west. I've never seen this meeting when I'm so big, so let's run...

I don't know how long I ran this way, but in short, I ran three streets out of the city and more than ten miles to the west. I couldn't run anymore, and I happened to see a small river on the side of the road. Da Kui put down the firewood, dragged his legs and walked over, lying down and drinking from the river. When I had drunk enough water, I stood up and wiped the sweat from my head and face with my sleeve. Suddenly remembered something: "No, my family is in the east of the city~!"

As soon as he thought of going home, Da Kui felt weak and exhausted. Looking around, there is a broken temple not far away, just enough to rest. Da Kui carried the firewood and walked towards the broken temple, entered the temple gate, and looked around. Xiao is in disrepair and far away from the city, this dilapidated temple has long been cut off from the incense, a dilapidated scene.

Facing the temple gate, facing the statue of the god of the land, I don't know where the upper body of his old man went, and the offering table in front of the statue's feet was full of dust. Da Kui put down the firewood and bent down to pull a handful of dry grass from the ground, walked to the offering table and swept away the dust three or two times. Turning over and lying on the offering table, he breathed a long sigh of relief, "I am a mother, but I am tired to death...!" After a while, the snoring was like thunder, and I slept very sweetly.

Before you know it, the sun is setting in the west, and the moon is in the treetops. Until nearly the second watch, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and bursts of thunder were heard in the distance. In less than three watches, it was drizzling outside, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the temple at this time. Da Kui was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt someone pushing him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there were more than a dozen people around him, but because it was late at night and there was no light, he couldn't see who they were.

Da Kui was just about to get up, when someone in his ear shouted: "Don't move, I will kill you again." Da Kui only felt a cold in his throat, and when he looked down, a steel knife was shining with cold light.

"Don't kill me, good man spare your life". Da Kui was busy begging for mercy, but his body didn't dare to move for half a minute.

The previous voice asked: "What are you doing? Recruit from the truth, otherwise you will have your head~!"

"My name is Zhang Dakui, and I live in Wulitun in the east of the city. I'm chopping wood, and there's an old lady at home, so I'm just resting in this temple... ”

"Don't be wordy, get up~!" the previous voice interrupted Da Kui's words viciously. Da Kui trembled with fright and sat up tremblingly.

At this time, a kind voice said: "Don't scare this little brother, it doesn't look like he's faking" The voice then added: "It's raining tonight, not to mention the third watch." I don't think there will be any pursuers, so let's make a fire and bake your clothes, so as not to get cold. "The people around should be all in unison.

One of them saw a pole of firewood by the door, and he went over and opened the bundle and wanted to make a fire.

Da Kui said hurriedly at first sight: "My firewood is going to be sold." The man was stunned for a moment, and stopped what he was doing.

At this time, it was the kind voice that said gently: "Hahaha, it's okay. The amount of firewood money is yours. ”

When Da Kui heard this, he nodded and said, "Since you want to buy it, I will sell it to you," .......

When the bonfire was lit, a strong black man said, "It turned out to be you kid, we saw it in the city." Da Kui was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look by the firelight. There were two of these people he had seen on the streets of the city, one was a green-shirted showman and the other was a black-faced strong man.

Da Kui was immediately surprised when he saw the two of them: "It turned out to be you, but it almost scared me to death!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this kid stupid.

When everyone sat on the ground around the bonfire, the green-shirted Xiushi bowed his hand and hugged his fist and saluted: "In the lower Jiangnan Red Turban Army, the left general Tang He, this is the front of the tent Pang Heihu. As he spoke, he patted the black-faced man on the shoulder and said, "Today, thanks to the help of all the righteous people, I rescued Tian Qi, the righteous brother in Xiaxia, and Tang Mou is here to thank you a lot~!" Tang He got up and bowed as a salute.

Lao Huang on the side hurriedly got up and helped: "We are all reckless horsemen, how dare we be a general." General, please get up, hurry up~!"

Next, everyone introduced themselves one by one, it turned out that the Yuan Court was corrupt, and the high-ranking officials of the imperial family wantonly enclosed land, using harsh government and heavy taxes to squeeze the people's fat and people's cream. Many people have no land to grow and have to fend for themselves. Most of these people are hunters in the mountains, and the green forests and grasses are reckless.

After the greetings were over, Tang He couldn't help but sigh: "In order to save my brother-in-law, five strong men died." The sin of Tang He~!" Everyone was embarrassed.

Tian Qi was injured and lay on the hay beside him. Hearing this, he struggled to get up and said, "It's all that dog officer, there are eight of us, but in the end I am the only one left."

Tang He Wenyan asked, "What is the reason, Xiao Qi said slowly." ”

It turned out that Tang He and a group of red scarves were ordered by Marshal Xu Da. Crossing the river to the north, scattering various places to contact the righteous people in the rivers and lakes, waiting for the righteous army to cross the river and start together. Unexpectedly, Xiaoqi and other eight people traveled to Zoupyeong County, Jeju, and their whereabouts were revealed and they were rounded up by the Yuan soldiers. Defeated in a hard battle, he was captured by the Yuan soldiers. Among the eight people, the righteous man surnamed Zhou died in battle. The seven were then escorted to Jeju Prison for torture and torture, and a letter was issued to the people. Later, on the day of the execution, the city defense troops and horses were secretly ambushed around the execution ground, and they were all wiped out when they waited for someone to come and rob the prisoners.

When Pang Heihu heard this, he scolded: "His grandmother's, whose idea is this." Lao Tzu caught him and killed him alive."

Lao Huang continued: "This person's surname is Yang Luji, and he was originally a Han Chinese. Generations of wealthy gentry, well-off. A few years ago, he spent money to donate a Jeju governor Yoon, and on weekdays, he was powerful and oppressed the people, and spent 7,000 taels of silver to build a mansion in the east of the city last year. The people of Jeju hated him to the bone, so they gave him the nickname 'Yang Skin'. This is the person who is the prisoner of today's execution ground. ”

When Pang Heihu heard this, his fists clenched and clicked, and he said to Tang He: "Big brother, this matter can't be left like this, you should say something!"

Tang He groaned: "We still have military affairs on our bodies, and we can't stay here for a long time." We still need to contact Liu Futong's department in Cangxian County for this trip, and today's disturbance in the law field is already in the news. This matter needs to be considered in the long run."

When Lao Huang saw Tang He say this, he said to everyone: "In this case, we will let that dog official live a little longer." Let's rest early, we are all tired of the day" Everyone heard the rumors and found some hay, found a leeward place and fell asleep.

Pang Heihu said in a sullen voice: "You all sleep, I will keep vigil." Tang He smiled: "You sleep." Today's execution ground, you have worked very hard to open the way for everyone!"

Pang Heihu scratched his head and said, "Hey, the first day I met my Heihu, I just didn't sleep for three or two days, I just felt aggrieved and panicked."

Tang He smiled: "I understand the thoughts of the Black Tiger Brothers, go to sleep." ”

Pang Heihu promised to find a place to sleep, these people were already exhausted after a day of fighting. At this moment, I lay down for less than a moment, and I was already snoring like thunder.
