Make a long-term worker as an old attack

After Niu Geng left, only Xue Zhaoqing and Lao Chentou were left in this isolated small courtyard.Although Xue Zhaoqing has been wandering outside for the past few months, he is a young master who does not touch the spring water with his ten fingers. He can't even make a fire, let alone cook. This old man is no better than him. They couldn't get rid of the flour, so the two could only cook corn and eat bacon to satisfy their hunger.

The old man sighed while nibbling on the corn: "Hey, this corn is tasteless, how can I eat it?"

"Didn't you always eat corn when you lived here alone? Why can't you eat it now?"

"Can it be the same? After eating the delicious oily noodles, eat corn, one on the ground and one on the ground!"

"Hee hee." Xue Zhaoqing gnawed on the corn and smiled, and continued, "Master, do you want to eat fried noodles every day in the future?"

"What?" Old Chen became alert all of a sudden: "You want me to go out with you again? Hmph, I won't go out if you give me roast chicken every day!"

Xue Zhaoqing was speechless, after getting along with this old man these few days, he had already seen that as long as this white-haired and childlike old man didn't talk or smile, he really looked like a worldly expert who didn't eat fireworks, but once he opened his mouth to eat , It's like a beggar who hasn't eaten for three days, how ugly and embarrassing it is.Sometimes Xue Zhaoqing even felt that he should have been reincarnated as a starving ghost in his previous life.However, although the old man was not very forgiving in his mouth, he was very benevolent in his heart. He gave him pulse medicine every day, and there was nothing less.

"Uncle Chen, why do you hate the outside world so much?"

"Hmph, what's so good outside? Either you plot against me or I plot against you all day long. You can't even see a doctor in peace. Some people want you to heal the patient, and some people want you to look like a doctor." If you kill people with medicine, if you are cured or not, people will trouble you, why not stay here, whoever I want to treat, and whoever I want to treat, the heavenly king and I can't control me."

"Master, don't you have any family members outside? They don't worry about you?"

"The old man is alone in this world, with Xiaobai and a dog by his side. No one cares about him when he leaves. When he dies, he will be turned into a handful of loess in this small courtyard without people, which saves the coffin for the corpse. .”

Although old Chen Tou said it was chic, there seemed to be unwillingness between his brows, Xue Zhaoqing looked carefully, and then said: "Hey, yes, here alone, there is no incense after death, you old man has accumulated virtues in medicine, hanging pots to help the world No one will tell you the story."

Sure enough, these words hit the bottom of old Chen's heart. He was hiding from the world with hatred back then, but he didn't want to wholeheartedly. Seven points were hunted down by the masters he served before, and only three points saw through the turmoil in the world.He is not afraid of being lonely here, and it doesn't matter if you eat or drink, but what he fears most is that no one cares about him after death, and even his surname will be forgotten.

Xue Zhaoqing saw the old man's swaying look in his eyes, and he continued: "But then again, my elder brother Niu Geng is also a hard-working man. When he was young, his father died early, so he took care of a mother. A few months ago , Mrs. Niu also left, counting the world, he has no elders to support. When he left, he held my hand and said, I have seen Uncle Chen very kindly these days, and you have saved my life again. Fate, he wholeheartedly wants to take you out as a godfather to raise you so well, it's a pity..."

After hearing this, Old Chen didn't speak for a long time, and seemed to be moved in his heart, but after eating half of the corn, he threw the gnawed bare corn cob aside, and said, "Huh, I just won't go out!" , Leaning on crutches, I went to see his medical books.

Xue Zhaoqing sighed helplessly, the big black dog raised by Old Chen wandered over to nibble on the corn cobs he left behind, Xue Zhaoqing followed the dog's hair and continued: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, why is this old man so stubborn? ?” The big black dog looked up at Xue Zhaoqing, seemed to be more interested in the uneaten corn in his hand, raised his head and leaned over to bite the piece of corn with his dog’s mouth, and ran away.

"Hey, you corn thief!" Xue Zhaoqing shouted, but Xiaobai had long since disappeared.

He rubbed his belly: "Niugeng, burdock, I've been eating corn cobs for three days, when are you coming back?"

In fact, Niu Geng, who is outside, has not had an easy three days.During the five days he was in the forest, Zhang Xuan was called back to the Chengcheng headquarters by the general of the rebel army to discuss the next battle direction, and Qi Sheng was appointed as the temporary commander in chief.But Qi Sheng was originally a local ruffian. He usually relied on sweet words to coax Zhang Xuan to be happy.Niu Geng was afraid that something would happen to him leading the team alone, so he begged Zhang Xuan to come over, and kept reminding him when he was with him. He thought he could change his temperament, but he didn't want Jiangshan to change his nature.

Niu Geng sat on the county government hall, looked at the two coffins lying across the nave, and the three men kneeling on both sides of the coffins, one big, two young and three men crying, and couldn't help but help his forehead.

"Master Jun, Lord Jun! My daughter-in-law and my daughter died so tragically! How can the little old man swallow this breath!" The older man in the hall, about forty years old, was dressed in filial piety, and his eyes were swollen from crying. lap.

"My daughter is only 17 years old this year! If the military master can't make decisions for us, my family will not be able to survive, and I will live in peace with the two of them!" After finishing speaking, she cried even harder.The two young men kneeling in that hall, one was fourteen or fifteen years old, did not cry out, just clenched his fists tightly, bowed his head, without saying a word, the other was only a ten-year-old boy, seeing his father After crying like this, he also wailed.

Niu Geng slapped the table and shouted: "Bring those two beasts out to me!"

The four soldiers standing under the hall came out and replied: "Yes!" Then they dragged out two heavily tied soldiers from outside.

Niu Geng recognized these two soldiers, they were both from Qi Sheng's hometown, the tall and thin one was named Shao Jie, and the one with the naughty eyebrows was called Zou Wei.They came to join him after hearing that Qi Sheng was doing well in the rebel army.Niu Geng didn't like people who joined the rebel army without any purpose, not to mention these people were either scoundrels or hooligans in the past.However, Zhang Xuan thought that pulling the flag to revolt needed to unite all the forces that could be united, and he did not treat these people differently.

The escorted soldiers held the two of them down and forced them to kneel down. Although the two of them were kneeling, they stared and stretched their necks, and said, "Why did the lieutenant tie us up?!"

"Why are you tied up? It's reasonable for you to force civilians' wives and daughters to drown themselves in the river!" Niu Geng's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and his big eyes were frightening.

"Returning to the deputy general, they are not ordinary people. This family is a well-known landlord in Weibei. Usually, fish and meat tenants and poor farmers like us are not mentioned, and they also squeeze long-term workers. The two of us are just teaching them some lessons. There is nothing wrong with it." ?!"

"I am wronged, Mr. Jun!" Hearing this, the man cried even louder: "My family has some Susukida, and there are tenants who rent crops. I did ask long-term laborers to help me when the farming is busy, but I have never bullied the tenants and tenants. Long-term workers, the rent paid by the tenants who rent and plant our fields is the lowest in Weibei. When there is a famine, my family not only does not want to rent, but will give some seeds to the tenants to save the spring famine and no land for planting. As for the long-term workers, Grandpa, go to my house and ask about how my house treats the long-term workers? Not only do we share food and live together, but we never default on monthly payments! The little old man swears to God! I have always been kind to the poor, so I know how many people the rebel army came. You advised me to run, but I didn't run, because I trusted the military master of the rebel army. You are all people who understand good and evil. You never thought about it, but because of this mistake, my wife and my daughter died tragically. How can I see their mothers again!" As he said that, he was about to hit his head on the coffin, but Niu Geng hurriedly got someone to stop him, and in a hurry, he jumped over the low table in front of him and rushed into the hall, picking up a person with one hand, He shouted angrily: "The fact is so, what else can you two say?!"

"The lieutenant will punish us two brothers based on his one-sided words. We are really unconvinced!"

"Unconvinced?! Hmph!" Niu Geng sneered, threw both of them on the ground with his hands: "I ask you, why did we revolt?!"

Shao Jie and Zou Wei looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer.

"Of course you don't know that our rebel army is for justice in the world, so that the common people can have a way to live and have a full meal! But you, you are only staying in the rebel army because of your own selfish desires. The huge rebel army is just a tool for you to show off your power! Let me ask you, when have you ever killed the enemy and spilled blood on the battlefield of the uprising?! You only dare to force other people’s wives and daughters to death in the name of robbing the rich and helping the poor! You I don’t know why you revolted. This is the first crime. You bully the weak and fear to force other people’s wives and daughters to death. This is the second crime. You disobey discipline and disobey military orders. People, drag these two people down and beat them to death with sticks!"

"Yes!"

Only then did the two realize that Niu Geng had murderous intentions, and they became anxious, crying and begging grandpa, suing grandma, and calling Qi Sheng for help.Niu Geng didn't care about it at all, hearing the voices of these two people getting farther and farther away, as if they were dragged to the side room where the execution was originally carried out in the county government office, only occasionally there were a few screams.

At this time Qi Sheng suddenly came in from outside the hall, saw Niu Geng standing in the hall, and was about to speak, but Niu Geng raised his right hand, barely blocking his way: "If you don't want to be like them, then stop talking!"

As soon as these words came out, most of Qi Sheng's back got goosebumps. At this time, Niu Geng's face was gloomy and cold, and there was a ruthlessness between his brows, as if he was used to bloody executioners.Qi Sheng knew that pleading for mercy would not be good at this time, so he had to smash his teeth and swallow blood.

"Arranging this mother and daughter properly, after all, we are the ones who can't stand them." Niu Geng helped the family of three, and Qi Sheng confessed: "The order will continue, and in the future, if anyone takes advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the people's daughter, they will all be beaten to death!"

"Yes..." Qi Sheng felt unwilling, but he didn't dare to say more, so he could only agree first, but he was completely unconvinced in his heart.
