"The officials and soldiers are just collecting money, why do they want to kill people? Are all the men resisting?"

Wu Song heard her pitiful, and helped her up and the man up, but the man was quite cowardly, and his feet were weak and he fell down again.

"Hey, the people of our village are simple and don't like to fight, so how can they go against the officials and soldiers. ”

Wu Song nodded, in addition to the medicine, the old woman is indeed very kind, and it is reasonable to say that the people are simple.

"Our village is very secluded, self-sufficient, and does not need to pay taxes to the imperial court, and the natural people are prosperous, there are more than 3,000 men and more than 2,000 women in the village, most of whom are farming in the village, and some are wandering outside. ”

"Maybe because of the strange stones in the village, spread to the ears of the officials, the emperor loves to play with these strange things, the officials below in order to please, they came here to collect the flower stone gang, at first in the people's house robbery, and then felt that the robbery back is not very precious, but there are many rare strange stones on the stone mountain on all sides. ”

"Mining strange stones need to be artificial, naturally the collection of the village men went, at the beginning of the collection of 20 to 50 years old, the officials are eager for success, to quickly mine, so that the collection of men have many deaths and injuries, the prime of life is gone, the levy is more than 50, more than 50 is gone, the levy is 16 to 20. ”

"In this way, there are less than 1,000 of the more than 3,000 men in Tianshen Village, eight or nine hundred are still quarrying, and it is a matter of time before they die, and the remaining one or two hundred are children, and there are those who are hiding like my son. ”

"Why don't you run away?"

"Can't escape, there are officers and soldiers everywhere, if it weren't for Liu'er coming back this time, taking the mountain road, the old body didn't know that there was a way to live, originally let Liu'er take my son to escape to Mengzhou last night, but when the official army came, where did they dare to escape, it is estimated that the quarrying people died a lot, so they came to recruit people. ”

"I understand, you want to poison my two couples and make them speechless, and let me go to quarry instead of your son, right?"

The old woman was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, Wu Song smiled: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, besides, you are kind-hearted, in order to save your son, it is reasonable to kill another person, I will go to quarry on behalf of your son!"

The old woman couldn't believe her ears, thinking that Wu Song was talking back, but she could see that his expression was extremely sincere, and there was no hint of ridicule.

"Hero, why are you?"

"Old man, I have received two days of your support, so I should do something for you, anyway, you take care of my wife and children for me, and I will go instead of your son. ”

"Are you telling the truth?"

"You go and ask Liu'er, who is my Wu Er, and he has been as good as a mountain in his life!"

The old woman was really happy to hear this, and pulled her son to kowtow to Wu Song, Wu Song waved his hand and smiled: "If you want to be grateful to me, if you have wine, take thirty or twenty catties to quench your thirst." ”

"Hero, none of us are drinkers, and we don't have alcohol. ”

"Mother, didn't my aunt send a jar of daughter red?"

When the old woman heard this, she suddenly realized, but then her eyes were full of tears, and Wu Song felt very strange: "I just want to drink your thirty or twenty catties of wine, why should I be so stingy, I want to cry!"

"Old man, don't cry, I won't drink!"

"The hero doesn't know, according to the custom, the baby girl is born in the family, and the father buries the glutinous rice wine brewed by himself at home, and when the daughter gets married, take it out and drink it, and call it the daughter red, my brother has a daughter, named Tang Jiaoer, who is very handsome, but God does not see mercy ....."

The old woman sobbed for a while, and said in her heart: "This person is a warm-hearted man, it is better not to tell him, if he cares about Jiao'er's affairs, who will take care of my son's affairs." ”

"Anyway, the wine can't be used for a good day, and my brother and daughter-in-law don't want to see it, so they gave it to me, I put it in the room, I forgot it, and the hero wants to drink it, so it has no effect. ”

Wu Song's life is to drink, just for pleasure, at this moment to get this altar of daughter red, my heart is uneasy, either no, no, no.

"Well, Jin Lian has no parents, so naturally no one will make her daughter red, it is estimated that Tang Niu's sister is dead, so she will be the daughter of Jin Lian's marriage!"

Thinking of this, he was calm in his heart, carried his daughter Hong back to the room, and told Pan Jinlian about it, Pan Jinlian sighed: "When you encounter such an injustice, you must take care of it, you can go, save those hundreds of people, come back early, drink your daughter red today, you have to remember that there is still a wife room at home." ”

Wu Song laughed when he heard this, and kissed Pan Jinlian fiercely on the face: "It's still a lady who understands the heart of a husband." ”

"Poof!

Pan Jinlian blushed and said, it turned out that the old woman had cooked a fat chicken and came in, as well as a plate of broad beans and two peeled salted eggs.

Wu Song was not polite, a jar of fine wine gave him a drink, and the fat chicken was naturally swept away.

When noon came, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside, and the officers and soldiers kept shouting, Wu Song got up and said: "Old man, I bother you to take care of my wife for me, I'll go!"

Wu Song said, strode out of the house, and the old woman sighed: "Yesterday, the old man said, the respected husband is not worthy of the little lady, today I see that he is such a heroic momentum, and the little lady is a perfect match, it's a pity!"

Pan Jinlian smiled and said nothing, naturally knowing what she was sorry for, she was sorry for Wu Song to die.

"Little lady, the husband is such a character, he will definitely not be called Wu Er, there must be a loud name, you will inform the old body, let the old body.... Well.... Can remember!"

She originally wanted to say that she would set up a spiritual position for Wu Song and worship every day, but thinking that it was inappropriate to say that, she changed her words.

Pan Jinlian said with a smile: "His name is Wu Er, if it is fake, but everyone on the rivers and lakes calls him Wu Song!"

"Wu Song! Isn't it Wu Song who fights tigers on Jingyang Gang?"

"Exactly!" Pan Jinlian's face burst with pride.

The old woman exclaimed, "It turns out that the man of God has descended to Tianshen Village!"

It is often said in the folk that the tiger is a fighter, which means that there is a ghost who is accompanied by the tiger doing evil, Wu Song can kill the tiger with his bare hands, that is to say, he can deter the ghost, there is no good communication in ancient times, and the rumors are all passed on by word of mouth.

Wu Song walked out of the door, saw the officers and soldiers riding horses running around, frightened children crying, the old man was frightened, angry in his heart, saw a horse approaching, stretched out his hand to pull the reins, the horse suddenly encountered a strong block, can not advance half a minute, people stand up, look up to the sky and neigh, the officer and soldier "bang" fell to the ground, pain can not get up.

Immediately ran three more horses, and immediately the three of them saw that Wu Song was brave, and they actually stopped the galloping horse with one hand, and they were very shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "Man, who are you?"

"I'm from Tenjin Village, I'm out to quarry with you!"

"How can there be a person like you in Tenjin Village?"

"Didn't you come to arrest people to quarry? If not, don't take any of them away, if so, I will consciously go with you, what nonsense are you talking about, don't you hate that I am not strong enough to move stones?"
