Farmhouse strong man

In order to conceal Tao Fu's strength, Yuan Liuzhen specially dressed Tao Fu in a vicissitudes of life, which was very similar to Yuan Liuzhen's first time seeing Tao Fu's unkempt appearance, but more sloppy, with unshaven beard and messy hair. There are still a lot of grass clippings in the hair, and the clothes are also in tatters.He purposely made Tao Fu lean on a cane, pretending that one leg was inconvenient to move, but the burden on his back was bulging, with some old clothes and dry food inside, pretending that there were a lot of things in the burden.

Yuan Liuzhen would dress up Tao Fu in this way, firstly because Tao Fu was tall and afraid that the three young men would not rob Tao Fu, and secondly because the three young men not only robbed Yuan Liufeng's baggage, but also took Yuan Liufeng away, which meant that the three young men would not rob Tao Fu. The youth is not only for robbing money, but also for robbing people.Robbery is nothing more than two possibilities, one is trafficking and the other is slavery.However, the young man carrying the firewood who was talking to Yuan Liufeng did not rob Yuan Liufeng, nor did he take Yuan Liufeng away. He also knew three other young men, which meant that the young man carrying the firewood knew why the three young men robbed pedestrians, but it was inconvenient to say the reason.

Of course, these are just his guesses, and he doesn't know what the actual situation is.

If the three boys hadn't robbed Tao Fu, they might have to find other ways to sneak into the village or the village where the boys said they couldn't leave for Yongzhou.

After Tao Fu disguised himself, he ate enough to avoid being "robbed" and refused to eat. After eating, Yuan Liuzhen carefully instructed Tao Fu to take A'Ban out of the cave.

After Tao Fu left, Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liuzhen felt a little more relaxed than before. After all, they got the news that this place is still safe from the young man.

"Although I don't know if what the young man said is true, but the young man is carrying firewood on his back. Obviously, his normal life has not been affected by the war. It should be relatively safe here." Yuan Liufeng said.

"I think so too. Maybe it's because the population here is sparsely populated and it's far from Dongzhou City."

The two chatted for a while, one hugged Xiaoqing and the other hugged Xiaoqian and began to teach Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian how to speak. Now Xiaoqing and Xiaoqing can already speak a lot of words.

Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng would tell stories to Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian when they had nothing to do, no matter whether Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian could understand or not.

After Tao Fu left, they didn't worry too much. Their life was similar to that in the underground forest before, but they couldn't go out and were more vigilant.

There are Axia and Aban's cubs staying nearby, and under normal circumstances, as long as there is any movement, Axia will chirp, and they will know it.

Tao Fu left from the cave, and walked towards the road that was robbed by the three teenagers according to what Yuan Liufeng said. He walked towards that road step by step while leaning on a wooden stick. The speed was slower, but it was easier to observe the surroundings. When walking forward, I will also look around. There are no people on the road, and it does not look like after the war.

The trees here probably grew too long in winter, and most of the leaves didn't grow much. Moreover, this place looked a bit barren, and the trees were sparse, and they couldn't produce anything that could be eaten.

He walked for most of the day on crutches like this, and when he arrived near the resting place Yuan Liufeng mentioned, it was already very late.

He didn't rest at the place where Yuan Liufeng was robbed, but found another place to rest. During the rest, he deliberately showed a difficult appearance to collect firewood, light the firewood to keep warm, and ate some dry food along the way.

While he was eating dry food, he could already hear the movement around him but didn't show it.

Living on the mountain for so many years, his hearing is very keen, and he can easily capture the location and number of people who made the movement.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the movement resembled the three people Yuan Liufeng described.

After eating and drinking water, he lay on the ground casually with his pillow on his shoulders, pretending to be asleep.

He lay down for about half an hour before the three started to approach him. After the three approached him, they seemed to confirm that he was asleep, so they quickly grabbed his hands and feet in one direction, and he pretended to wake up. He opened his eyes and looked at the three of them in horror, "Who are you?"

Seeing his terrified expression, the three teenagers seemed relieved, and one of them said, "It doesn't matter who we are, the important thing is that you have to go with us."

After the young man finished speaking, seeing him struggling "hardly", he raised his head to the other two, and the other two took out the thick ropes they were carrying, and directly tied his wrists.

He still showed fear and uneasiness, and looked at the three teenagers. Although the three teenagers were short in stature, they were strong and strong. They looked very powerful and relatively strong. Affect the momentum of the three of them robbing houses.If he doesn't know martial arts and is not strong enough, he is likely to be caught by three people, who are very skilled in the movements of arresting and binding people.No wonder Yuan Liufeng was left in a daze and his face was injured.

After the three tied him up, one of them saw him "struggling hard" and wanted to yell, so he blocked his mouth with a cloth scarf, and then said to the two people beside him: "Search all over your body, look See if there is anything else."

The two began to search Tao Fu, but they searched Tao Fu inside and out, and after finding nothing, they said: "There is nothing on him."

"Take the burden and take this man away." After the young man finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at Tao Fu's chest, and he was relieved when he didn't find the red spot on the man he met yesterday.When they met the person with red dots all over their body yesterday, they were all shocked. They were afraid of contracting some disease, and they were frightened all day long. Fortunately, there was nothing abnormal on them.

The three of them took Tao Fu's burden and dragged Tao Fu, who was inconvenient to walk and "struggling", towards the village.

Tao Fu was dragged by the three people, pretending to be "constantly struggling", and felt a little uncomfortable. He was not a person who would do these things on purpose, but since the war broke out, he had to make changes. Do things like knocking people out, pretending to be weak like this.

In the past, he always felt that it was a very honorable and honored thing to go to the battlefield and join the army. However, when the war started, they had to avoid the war. kill.He and Yuan Liuzhen did nothing, but were wanted by Fan Tian.A series of things made him understand that sometimes joining the army is not about defending the country and protecting the people's lives.If he hadn't met Yuan Liuzhen, he would have joined the army after repaying the debt, wouldn't he be a soldier under the King of Xizhou now, forced to become a soldier affiliated to Lishui Kingdom without any will of his own?

From the war to the present, he has thought more about joining the army.

Of course, he also thought more about the pretending behavior he had to do now.

The three teenagers dragged him towards the village. He couldn't walk fast, and he had to endure being urged and dragged by the teenagers.

The place where he was robbed was not far from the village where the boy was going, but he had to walk most of the night, and the road to the village was very remote and difficult to walk.If they were looking for it by themselves, it would definitely take a lot of time to find it.

The three teenagers did not take him directly into the village, but went around the village to other places.

Tao Fu looked a little puzzled, but he couldn't speak now, and he couldn't show up. He could only keep observing the surrounding situation and write down the route.

Maybe it was because of the night, these teenagers didn't seem to care about him remembering the route, and they didn't cover his eyes on purpose.

The three teenagers led him around the back of the village, and walked further and further along the mountain road. Not long after, the sea surface not far away could be seen from the barren mountain.

Tao Fu has never seen the sea, but he heard from Yuan Liuzhen that seeing the real sea now instantly reminded him of the scene when Yuan Liuzhen named Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian and described the sea, which made him fascinated for a while. .

Amidst the urging, shoving and yelling of the three teenagers, Tao Fu pulled back his thoughts, and was dragged by the rope to a more remote place.

They walked down the steep mountain. Because of his "inconvenient legs and feet", the three of them walked slowly. After he was dragged down the steep mountain, he walked along the barren coast for a long time before entering a stone wall. The gap in the stone wall is very narrow, and a lot of sea water flows out from it.

Tao Fu was led in by the three along the cracks in the rocks. The deeper the sea was, the deeper the sea was. The gap, the more you walk in, the more open it is.

Not long after walking, Tao Fu heard the sound of knocking and knocking from a distance. The three people did not take him to the place where the knocking sound was, but took him to another direction, which led to the The ground was dry, and Tao Fu saw a dungeon built along the stone wall after walking for a long time.

The construction of the dungeon is very simple, but it is also very strong. It looks like it was built temporarily. There are a few men with their hands and feet tied up in the dungeon. The man looks disheartened and very weak. I don't know how long it has been since he was arrested.

After Tao Fu was taken to the dungeon by three teenagers, he was locked in.

Compared with other people who were imprisoned, Tao Fu only tied his hands.

After Tao Fu was pushed in, he sat down and observed the other weak people. After the three teenagers left, he approached the person closest to him. people here.

Tao Fu touched the weak man next to him with his helped hand. The man seemed to have not eaten or drank for a long time, and his mental state was not good. When he opened his eyes and looked at him, he was a little disoriented and numb. I closed my eyes again.

Tao Fu wanted to inquire about the news, but he didn't know where to start, not to mention that he still had a cloth towel in his mouth, so he had to wait and observe for a while.

Judging from the fact that the three teenagers brought him here, they didn't treat him like an inhuman robber, so why did they arrest them?In fact, he prefers these teenagers to catch them to work or sell them.If he sells it, he shouldn't be able to sell it for a good price given his inconvenient leg, so is it work to arrest him?The three teenagers who captured him and other people in the dungeon might have been brought here from different places.

He just thought about it for a while and stopped thinking about it.

A few days after entering here, a few people scattered in the dungeon were sent in with their hands and feet bound and their mouths stuffed. The few weak people that Tao Fu first saw died shortly after he entered here. I was taken away, and I don't know where I took it.

After a few days, he didn't drink any water, and no matter how strong his body was, he became much weaker. Of course, compared to other people, his body is still very strong. It doesn't affect him if he doesn't eat for a few days, but he still pretends to be weak appearance.

In the past five days like this, normal people are already very weak when they are thirsty and hungry, but Tao Fu is different, he is pretending to be weak.

Five days later at night, the "weak" Tao Fu was taken out of the dungeon, followed by another path to a dark stone room.

In addition to the three burly men standing in the stone house, there was also a luxuriously dressed sitting person, who was directly brought in front of the luxuriously dressed person.

Tao Fu looked at the luxuriously dressed man, he was very rich from his clothes, the man was about 40 years old, not tall, he should be a local.

He was brought in front of this person, and the person who brought him removed the cloth towel from his mouth. He moved his stiff cheeks and looked at the luxuriously dressed person.

The man looked at him with a friendly smile and said, "I'm very sorry for bringing you here."

Tao Fu looked at the man and said nothing, but the man didn't mind and said, "It is imperative to bring you here. Now that I have come here, what I need to tell you is that you have two choices now, one is to help us Work, and the second is to continue to stay in the dungeon and starve."

Tao Fu didn't speak, he wanted to see what the man would say.

The man didn't want him to explain, but asked, "Which one do you choose?"

Tao Fu didn't answer, but asked, "Why did you arrest me here? Robbery? Work?"

Hearing what he said, the man smiled coldly, "I'll arrest you, whether it's robbery or work, you have to obey me."

"What if I don't listen?" Tao Fu asked back.

"If you don't listen, you will continue to starve in the dungeon until you listen. If you are obedient, I will help you with the work. After the work is done, everything you have on you will be returned to you," the man said.

"Why?" Tao Fu asked.

The man didn't want to explain, but met Shang Tao Fu Qingming's eyes, and suddenly asked, "Why did you come to the ferry?"

Tao Fu didn't hide anything, and replied truthfully, "Come to the ferry, of course, to take a boat."

The man smiled after hearing this: "Nowadays the ferry is heavily guarded, where is there a chance to take a boat? Everyone is forbidden to leave Dongzhou. Since you are here to take a boat, now I will give you three choices. One is to help us work, take If there is a chance, I can let you take a boat; second, help us work, and leave with your things after work; third, I don’t want to work and I’m hungry enough to help work!"

After all, he must be allowed to work.No matter what the choice is, let him work, but he still doesn't know what to do?Why work?

Seeing his hesitation, the man kindly explained: "Since you have been caught here, it's okay to tell you, anyway, you can't escape, you can only enter and exit here during the low tide of two hours, and it is impossible to go out at other times , and at these two hours, there will be people watching. You are arrested here for no other reason than to build ships. There are not enough people here, and the people in the village are occasionally checked by the officers and soldiers. Too many people coming here will arouse the suspicion of the officers and soldiers. Arrest those of you who came from other places to help build ships. Besides, taxes were collected during the war, and there was heavy snow in winter. Everyone has no money and food, so naturally there is no money to hire people here to build ships, not to mention that the shipbuilding cannot be discovered by officers and soldiers."

The man said it as a matter of course, "I know that you are probably going to Yongzhou by boat at the ferry. Since you are going to Yongzhou, why don't you help build the boat? As long as the boat is built, you can go to Yongzhou by boat."

After Tao Fu heard this, he said: "Even so, we must use the method of arrest, and rob us of our belongings, right?"

"There is nothing you can do in this world now. Looting property is just for living. Besides, we didn't rob anyone. We just asked everyone to come and help with the work. After the work, the things will be returned to you. If you want to take the boat, you will naturally need to pay for it." The cost of the boat ride and valuables must be confiscated. The way to bring you here is more straightforward, but now time is tight, and the boat cannot be built as soon as possible. If you are blocked on the way, I will tell you to come and build the boat, but I will not give it to you. Salary, do you know how to build? Instead of saying this euphemistically, it’s better to bring you here, calm down for a few days, and then tell you about shipbuilding.”

Although Tao Fu understood what the man said, he still felt that it was inappropriate to rob them to work, but this man was not like a black-hearted businessman who directly arrested people and used them as slaves.In a way, it was kind.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the man said again: "Most of the people who were caught here agreed to help with the work. After all, everyone wants to leave here. If they really don't want to, we will lock them up in other places until the ship is built. I will let them go naturally, I think you are tall, although one leg is not convenient, working should not be a problem, how about it? How do you choose?"

Tao Fu raised his eyes, smoothed his messy hair and said, "I can help you build a ship, but I have a condition. I'm captured by you alone now, and my family members are still in other places. I want them to come together and wait for the ship to be built." When you're done, let's leave together."

The man thought for a while and replied, "I'll think about your conditions for a while. If you help out with the work these two days, if you perform well, I will naturally agree to your request."

Tao Fu nodded when he heard what the man said. He understood that the man had concerns, and maybe he was also considering whether he was worth the risk of bringing others over.

After Tao Fu nodded, he was led by a burly man along the narrow gap in the stone wall to approach the beating place. As the beating sound became louder, the inside also opened up a bit. After walking for a long time, he I saw an iron gate, and outside the gate were eight burly men, all about 1.9 meters tall, almost as strong as Yuan Liuzhen, but just standing there gave people a very oppressive feeling.

Tao Fu was led past these burly men and entered the iron gate. After he entered the gate, the iron gate was locked with heavy iron chains.

Tao Fu looked back at the heavy iron chain, knowing that if he went out from here, he might need to spend some effort, then he realized that this place is not so easy to get out.

After entering here with his burly man, he was more polite to him. After untying the rope in his hand, he said to him: "You come with me to eat something, and then I will find the steward to assign you tasks."

After the man finished speaking, he took him to continue walking forward. As he walked forward, he looked around. There were about 100 people busy in the relatively open place in front of him. The sound of knocking and knocking was these busy people. It was sent out that these people are generally men, and they don't look enslaved. Everyone seems to be working hard, and they haven't been whipped to make people work.Therefore, he relaxed a lot.

He was led by a group of busy people to a cave. The cave was a little shallower. At a glance, one could see an elderly man inside who was busy cooking. When he saw him coming, he also smiled and led him. The burly man who came over greeted him, and then smiled at him: "For those who came here on the first day, eat something quickly."

The brother handed him a large bowl of fish soup and chopsticks as he spoke, and the burly man glanced at him and said gently: "I haven't eaten for a few days, eat something quickly, after eating, I will take you to see him later Steward."

Tao Fu nodded, and took the fish soup handed over by his brother. He hadn't eaten or drank for a few days, and it was just right to drink some fish soup. He took a small sip of the soup to moisten his uncomfortable throat, and then began to drink it in big gulps. Soup, after drinking the soup, he ate a lot of fish.

The taste of this fish soup was relatively ordinary to him, but it was not undrinkable. He hadn't eaten for a few days and drank the hot fish soup, which made his stomach feel much more comfortable.

After a while, he finished a bowl of fish soup. After finishing the fish soup, the burly man who brought him over said to him, "I haven't eaten for a few days. Drink some fish soup first. I'll take you to see the steward. After the steward assigns you tasks, eat more at dinner."

Tao Fu nodded and was led by the burly man to continue walking. He came to a deep cave. There were tables and chairs in the cave. An old man was sitting in front of the table with a writing brush in his hand. What is being written.

After the burly man took him there, the old man stopped the pen in his hand. After the burly man explained his purpose, the old man flipped through the booklet and said, "Now we need manpower to nail the boards, let him nail the boards."

"Okay, I'll take him there." The burly man responded and led Tao Fu towards the place where more than 100 people were busy.

He was taken to a corner by a burly man, where two men were driving iron nails into a wooden board with stone hammers in their hands.

The burly man said to the two men, "He started nailing boards with you today."

Those two people looked up at Tao Fu, Tao Fu also looked at those two people, one of them was the man Tao Fu saw in the dungeon when he was led into the dungeon by three teenagers.
