[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

The next day, just halfway through Yin's time, someone came in with a whip and beat and cursed at the arched figure on the bed: "A bunch of slackers, I don't know what time it is, I have to trouble Grandpa to call you, hurry up!" ..."

"You think you are still at home. This is a military camp. Get up at Yinshi in the future, and let me scream again. It's not as simple as eating a whip. Hurry up, hurry up..." After whipping enough, he still didn't forget to use his feet Kicking over one by one, they don't treat this group of people as human beings at all.

Jia She and the others who had just fallen asleep were kicked up. Fortunately, it was cold at night and no one took off their clothes to sleep, otherwise they would have been whipped for nothing while they were getting dressed.

"You, you, and you, go to mow the grass and feed the horses, clean the stables, and you guys go to clean the latrines, you must finish it before dawn, hurry up..." The black-faced man spoke with a Northwest accent, with a ferocious arrangement with the task.

Jia Amnesty, Fang Shaozhong and his son were fortunate to be arranged together again, luckier than yesterday, the work was feeding the horses and cleaning the stables, which was much better than dirty work such as cleaning the latrines.Today's arrangement prompted Jia She to let others discover his value as soon as possible, and he couldn't delay here any longer, otherwise, maybe next time, or tomorrow, the job of cleaning the toilet would fall to him, and I felt uncomfortable thinking about it.

Naturally, the war horses would not be fed by Jia She and the others. They were carefully taken care of by special grooms. If people like Jia She were allowed to intervene, I was worried that they would spoil the precious war horses and affect the battle situation.They are only responsible for the horses that the rear army is responsible for escorting the luggage. There are special people in charge. Prisoners like Jia She used to just help out and do some dirty and tiring work that others are unwilling to do, such as cleaning up horse manure. Cleaning the stables, threshing horse hay, etc.

The three of them cleaned up the rear army's stables before dawn, transported the horse manure to the centralized processing point outside the camp, ate a steamed bun and drank a bowl of porridge in a hurry, and then were driven to the mountain not far away to thresh horse grass. It's not uncommon to have a caretaker.Northwest Camp is a place with hundreds of miles of uninhabited people, and they dare not run around at all, especially those prisoners who are not familiar with their places of life. If they dare to run around, they will either lose their way in the mountains and become rations for wild beasts, or become captives of the Waller people. .Although staying in the barracks does the heaviest work and has to act as a soldier to fight against the enemy in an emergency, at least he can live for a few more days, even if someone accidentally belches on the battlefield, it’s better to save it Reputation, the family members will no longer be embarrassed because of an exile.

Besides, even if they ran to the enemy and were successfully accepted by the other party, their identity was a crime in exile. They could not provide a strategy for war deployment, nor did they have a military defense map. In short, they were worthless in the eyes of the enemy. There is not enough food to feed our own people, so how can there be more food to feed these outsiders.The enemy is guarding you, the people of the country are cursing you, there is no way out, and there is no way out, life is definitely worse.

Moreover, the ancients at this time, even the heinous criminals, valued the righteousness of the country and had national sentiments, so they were easily unwilling to bear the infamy of treason.No matter how many idiots I have done and how many people have resented and reviled me, I still have the same hatred against foreign enemies like Nanman and Beidi who are not of my race.Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no traitors and collaborators who are tempted by various reasons, but the probability is still very small.

To be able to go out to cut grass alone, Jia Amnesty simply wished for it.I didn't do anything when I arrived at the place. I first searched for animal footprints, dug two traps, and prepared to wait while I worked.Of course, this is just the perspective of Fang Wenguang and his son. If you are lucky to get one or two wild animals in ambush with traps, but at least you have to wait for two days, don't think about it today.I don't know when it will come out next time, even if there is something, it may be rotten.

Naturally, Jia Amnesty will not do useless work, there will definitely be stupid rabbits coming to the door automatically, and he has already found a chance to change a little coarse salt and a knife in the morning, just waiting for every meal today to reward his internal organs temple.Moreover, he and Fang Wenguang and his son will be assigned to work in the stables for at least half a month in the next few days, and there will be a lot of time during the day when no one is watching them. The 100 taels of silver are not in vain.

The three of them worked non-stop all morning before they filled the cart to the brim. As for why the speed was a bit slow, it was because spring had just started and there was not much new grass. It was also the first time that Fang Wenguang and his son couldn't grasp the essentials. It is inevitable that the hands and feet will be a little slow.In the afternoon, they had to mow two large carts of grass and transport them all back. Today's task was considered complete. This day was not easy at all.

After working all morning, the three of them were already full of empty plans, so they could only take out a cold steamed bun given before departure in the morning, without even a bowl of hot water.Fortunately, the sun rose at noon, and the temperature rose a lot. The stream water was not so cold, and drinking it would not be too uncomfortable.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and see what happened to the trap I set up this morning." Jia Amnesty stopped the two who were about to eat steamed buns.

But after a stick of incense, Jia She brought back a big fat rabbit.

"What a fat rabbit." Fang Shaozhong noticed with sharp eyes, rushed to Jia Amnesty, stared at the rabbit and swallowed, since he hadn't eaten meat for more than three months since he was convicted, he almost forgot what meat tastes like.

"That is, we have a lucky day today."

Fang Shaozhong's eyes lit up, and then quickly dimmed: "We don't have any fire tools or seasonings, and we don't even have knives to peel rabbits." Before leaving, the prisoner will be carefully searched inside and out. All sharp things were confiscated, not to mention knives and other things that could hurt people.

"Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely let you eat delicious roasted rabbit meat." Jia Amnesty put it off, without clearly stating that he had prepared the basic things in advance.

Fang Shaozhong's eyes lit up again, and he ran back excitedly to tell his father the good news: "Father, Mr. Jia caught a big fat rabbit. Today we have rabbit meat to eat." Hearing this, he was always serious and rarely smiled. Fang Wenguang also pulled the corners of his mouth apart, but it looked rather ugly if he was smiling or not.

Fang Wenguang looked at the young boy who was so happy because of a rabbit, and couldn't help but feel sour. Although he was always strict, at least Shaozhong had never suffered any grievances in food and clothing since he was a child. He will be framed and charged with ransacking his home and exiled.The old wife went directly to the sick bed because of this lingering, and the daughter who had just been selected into the palace didn't know what to do.Before Fang Wenguang learned that his daughter was selected, he was still a little bit reluctant, but now he even thanked his daughter for being selected into the palace. It was better than being dragged into slavery outside, and he could have a chance of survival.Fang Wenguang was thinking about the old things, his mood was uneasy, he couldn't help coughing, and he didn't know if he caught a cold from getting up too early, but this cough could no longer be stopped, as if he wanted to cough up all his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. Then his face was flushed, he couldn't breathe, and there was a piercing sound in his mouth.

"Father, what's the matter with you." The joy on Fang Shaozhong's face faded, and he helped Fang Wenguang caress his chest worriedly, wishing to replace it with his body. The little boy couldn't imagine that if the big tree that had been blocking him suddenly collapsed what would it be like.

Jia Amnesty, who came after him, threw the rabbit aside, took Fang Wenguang with one hand, and put the other on his pulse: "Let me take a look."

Fang Shaozhong didn't know how capable Jia She was, but he knew that ever since he met Jia She, the life of their father and son seemed to usher in a glimmer of light. In this difficult and hopeless situation, it was like the last straw to support him. He really felt that the old man with black and thin face in front of him had the power to save the father and son from the fire and water.

Facing Fang Shaozhong's hopeful gaze, Jia Amnesty lightly tapped a few acupuncture points on Fang Wenguang's body. He coughed forcefully and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm. After that, the cough gradually stopped, and his complexion improved a lot.

Fang Wenguang, who was half leaning on Jia Amnesty, said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Jia, for your help." Afterwards, he held Jia Amnesty's arm tightly with both hands, expressing hope and prayer: "Mr. Jia, Fang has something to ask, Please be sure to promise that in the next life, Fang will be a cow and a horse, and he will definitely get a grass title."

"Father..." Fang Shaozhong vaguely guessed what his father wanted to say, feeling uncomfortable, tears poured out of his eyes involuntarily, trying to stop Fang Wenguang from continuing, but was stopped by Fang Wenguang's stern eyes, and the words that were about to blurt out were swallowed abruptly go down.

"Mr. Fang..." This was blatantly preparing to ask Gu, Jia Amnesty hurriedly opened his mouth to tell Fang Wenguang that you don't need to ask Gu, you can be saved, but unfortunately, he was stopped by the next scene.

"Shao Zhong, kneel down."

Fang Shaozhong changed from squatting to kneeling without saying a word, lowering his head slightly and trying to suppress the crying that was about to be unbearable, not at all entangled in why his father suddenly asked him to kneel.

"Mr. Jia will be your adoptive father from now on. You should respect and be filial to Mr. Jia as you treat me. As long as you are alive, you must take care of Mr. Jia like a parent and child. Do you understand?" Fang Wenguang's voice reveals no doubt .

"Wait..." Jia She, who was facing the scene of forcibly identifying his father, tried to stop the father and son who were talking to themselves without asking for his opinion at all.

"Father-in-law, please accept the child's worship." After finishing speaking, they bent down and kowtowed, the father and son completely ignored Jia She's expression of refusal, and continued to recognize their father's great cause.

Jia She looked at Fang Shaozhong whose forehead touched the ground and Fang Wenguang who was waiting for Jia She's answer with a face of relief. He didn't bring such a joke, he could just recognize a master, why did he have to be a godfather.

"Ding! The branch mission has started, does the host deny Fang Shaozhong as his adopted son?" 009 came out to join in the fun again.

"What's the benefit of accepting it?"

"Reward the host with 1000 points and a lottery bonus."

Not interested in 1000 points, lottery?Jia Amnesty thought for a moment, forget it, for the sake of the lottery, let's forcefully recognize a godson.Jia Amnesty stared at Fang Shaozhong with burning eyes, what achievements this young boy will have in the future has attracted 009's reward points again and again, and he is even willing to let him draw a lottery.

"Then accept it." Jia Amnesty agreed.

Because there was no answer for a long time, Fang Shaozhong kowtowed again sincerely, "Father, please accept my child's worship." There was an obvious prayer in the raised eyes, which is the hope that Jia Amnesty will agree, good luck broke his father's heart.

"Hey, good boy, get up quickly, it's just that the adoptive father has nothing on him now, and there is no greeting ceremony." Jia Amnesty stretched out his hand to help Fang Shaozhong get up.

"Brother Jia was joking, Shaozhong is lucky to have such a father-in-law like you." Fang Wenguang seemed to have settled a major event, and his whole body relaxed, as if he was bravely going to death.

"Well, Fang Xian... Brother Fang, I just wanted to say that I have a cure for your illness, but I don't know if Brother Fang dares to let Jia try it." Jia She finally had a chance to say it, it was not easy .

Fang Wenguang and his son were taken aback for a moment, and then burst out with joy, "Really?"

"Of course, although I'm not [-]% sure, I'm still [-]% to [-]% sure." Jia Amnesty was a little humble. The key point is that he may not be able to gather the required medicinal materials quickly, so he didn't finish his sentence.

"Father, you are saved, you are saved." Fang Shaozhong almost jumped up happily, without any doubt about Jia She's words.

Looking at the excited father and son, Jia Amnesty wiped away the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead. He should go prepare today's lunch and give the father and son some space.Therefore, it is good for everyone not to know him, and he can be allowed to play freely without thinking of reasons to explain.
