Realizing the danger, Zhang Xiaopou instinctively covered the ration bag with one hand and held the handle of the hunting knife with the other hand. He stared at the group of people in the southwest. His breathing became rapid and he was extremely nervous, as if the group of people would pounce on him in the next moment.
Come and kill.
"What if they kill them and rob them?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked himself.
"Their numbers are twice as many as ours. If we fight, we have no chance of winning."
"We can give up some dry food and shake hands with them to make peace."
"No! If this is the case, people in other villages will think that we are weak and easy to bully, and they will all come to steal our dry food."
"If someone comes to rob us, we have to fight!"
Zhang Xiaozhu swallowed, his mouth was dry, and his right hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably. He was afraid, because he found that if a fight really broke out, he would not dare to chop the person with the knife in his hand.
, that’s really terrifying.
"Little pawn, what are you doing in such a daze? Why, is there someone you know over there?" Niu Dawa called Zhang Xiaopou twice, and found that Zhang Xiaopou was staring at a group of people not far away in a daze, so she gave him a push.
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaozu didn't react for a moment.
"Ah what, let's go quickly. If you don't leave, you will fall behind." Niu Dawa glared at Zhang Xiaozu angrily, and saw that Zhang Xiaozu looked confused, as if he had just woken up and had no idea what to do, so he grabbed him
With his arm, he pulled Zhang Xiaopou in one direction and said at the same time: "After discussing with Uncle Li, I decided to distribute some dry food to the people in Zhangjia Village. We two villagers will team up and go into the Black Forest together. We are only thirty."
The population is indeed too small. If you team up with the people from Zhangjiacun, even a big guy like Tiger Heixiazi can do it. Hey, I said you kid should cheer up quickly, but you can't be beaten by Zhang.
Those young boys in my village looked down upon me."
After listening to what Niu Dawa said, Zhang Xiaozu completed what happened when he was distracted. He looked up and saw that Niu Yao and others had already arrived at Zhangjia Village, and seemed to have revealed their plan to join forces.
Seeing that all the sadness on the faces of the villagers in Zhangjia Village was gone, they were all very happy.
The people from the two villages combined, numbering 120, suddenly became the largest team in front of the valley entrance.
Zhang Xiaopou couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he realized that the matter he had been worried about had been solved so easily. In this way, he not only won over the people of Zhangjiacun, but also strengthened the team and protected himself from being bullied. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
"The elders really have great wisdom!" Zhang Xiaozhu admired Niu Yao and Li Dashan very much and felt that he had too much to learn.
The stone in his heart fell to the ground. Zhang Xiaozu let out a long sigh of relief and felt relaxed. He quietly rubbed the sweat from his palms on his pants, fearing that Niu Dawa would laugh after knowing about it. But after thinking about it, he added what he had just said
When he asked what he was worried about, he wanted to know what Li Dawa would do.
Niu Dawa was walking in front. When he heard Zhang Xiaopeng's question, he opened his mouth and replied: "Food is life these days. If someone robs our food, it will be the same as killing us. He will fight to the end."
"Do you dare to chop a living person with the hunting knife in your hand?" Zhang Xiaozu asked again.
Niu Dawa suddenly stopped and looked down at the ground. After a moment of silence, he sighed quietly: "I didn't dare at first, but I must dare, otherwise all the young and old men in Liujia Village will starve to death. Maybe I dare or not.
Dare, this is the difference between adults and children. The responsibilities and responsibilities of adults are indeed heavier, and they are suddenly added to it, making people feel breathless."
Zhang Xiaozhu looked at Niu Dawa's back with a dazed look on his face. He had never thought that Niu Dawa could say such philosophical words. Is this still the stupid big Tiehanhan he knew?
"The wind is howling, the rain is rustling, raise your head, hold your chest high, and stride forward without looking back. Up the mountain of swords, down to the sea of fire, sing a song and drink and dine. Don't be afraid, keep moving forward, I will cross the knife and I will be crazy,
Don't be afraid of gods, don't be afraid of demons." Niu Dawa hummed and strode forward.
Infected by Niu Dawa's sonorous and powerful tune, Zhang Xiaozhu felt his blood surge up. He held the handle of the knife steadily and powerfully without any trembling. He couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, thinking: "Come on, it belongs to me."
I am not afraid of the responsibility and responsibility even if it weighs a thousand pounds."
As he took another step, his figure seemed to be taller, as if he had shed the shackles of his youthfulness before he was sixteen and had truly grown up.
When Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaozu hurried back to the main army, the leaders of the two villages had already discussed a plan and planned to collect everyone's dry food together, then select the worst and hand it over, and the rest would be averaged per head.
distribute.
The people in Zhangjia Village were a little embarrassed and blushed because they felt that they had taken advantage of the people in Liujia Village. When the people in the two villages took out the food they brought, the people in Zhangjia Village became even more ashamed and even a little embarrassed because they had brought
They are all hard biscuits, hard steamed buns and the like that are hard to swallow, and some are even moldy. However, the dry food brought by the people from Liujia Village is fragrant when taken out, and you can tell at a glance that it has just been made.
"Everyone in Zhangjiacun, please listen to me." Zhang Daqiang, the team leader of Zhangjiacun, suddenly shouted to the people in his village, "I think everyone knows how much advantage we have taken. I don't know what you are doing now.
No matter how you feel, I am so embarrassed that I want to find a mouse hole to crawl into. I have traveled all over the world and there is no reason to take advantage of it. We can’t lose our hearts no matter what, so I decided that the prey caught in the black forest will be divided into 40 and 60 points, and the four of us will
, Brother Six of Liujiacun, if you disagree, immediately take your things and get out."
The young and old men in Zhangjiacun were also honest people, and they all said that they had taken advantage of the elder brother of Liujiacun, and they all agreed with Zhang Daqiang's decision.
"Brothers, we've met each other, we've met each other." Niu Yao waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Our two villages are only a few miles apart. We know each other well and know that all brothers are honest people, so that's why I came to team up with you. You guys
There are many adults in the villages, but there are few in our villages. Four or six points is really not appropriate. In my opinion, it is not better than this. If the harvest is huge, then four or six points. It is just four of us and six of you. If the harvest is average, we will
50-50, anyway, it is the same goal. Let’s work together to get through this disaster year. If you feel that you owe us Liujia Village, then wait until you get through the disaster year before repaying it. Let’s make an agreement first, and then we can
I won’t give in anymore. We’ll take whatever you pay back. Haha.”
"Good brother, the people of Zhangjiacun have taken note of this sentiment, and there will be good rewards in the future." Zhang Daqiang patted Niu Yao's shoulder heavily. He stopped being pretentious, because what Niu Yao said was the truth.
"Don't be stunned. Put down all the dry food and surround it outside to prevent anyone from snatching it. I just took a cursory look around and found that there are many unfamiliar faces. As the old saying goes, you must not have the intention to be a thief.
"You must be wary of thieves," Niu Yao ordered.
When he said this, everyone couldn't help but become nervous. Now every mouthful of food was related to the lives of the entire village, and there was no room for carelessness.
Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa hurriedly put down their dry food and got out of the crowd. They stood at the outermost edge and looked around warily, feeling that everyone looked like robbers.
"Hey, kid, Xiaopawn, you two are here too!" A thin black boy suddenly jumped out from behind, put one arm around Zhang Xiaopou's neck and the other around Niu Dawa's neck, and happily greeted them both.
road.
"I knew they would definitely come."
"It's exciting now."
Behind the thin black boy there were several boys of similar age, who seemed very happy to see Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa.
Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa were startled by the skinny black boy. When they looked back, they immediately grinned with joy. They couldn't help but punched the skinny black boy in the chest and laughed and cursed: "You idiots, you guys just went there
Where are you? We walked around and didn't see your shadow, so we thought you hadn't come."
These boys are all from Zhangjia Village. They are the same age as Zhang Xiaozhu and they all just held their coming-of-age ceremony this year. They often play together on weekdays, fishing in rivers and poaching birds in trees. They are very familiar with each other.
"It's a pity that you just came today. You missed a good show." The thin black boy shook his head and said regretfully. His name is Zhang Dezhuang, which is homophonic with "grow strong". His father hopes that he will be strong and powerful, but this boy
It was as if someone was sent from the sky to deliberately confront his father. He had eaten a lot of chicken, duck and fish since he was a child, but he could not gain weight just by eating, and he was so skinny that he almost made his father sick. Because of this, he
The nickname "Skinny Monkey" can be heard for miles around.
When Niu Dawa heard that there was a good show, his eyes lit up and he urged: "What good show is there? Tell me quickly."
"Tsk, tsk, you two didn't see it. The scene and the battle yesterday were simply shocking!" The thin monkey clucked his tongue in surprise, shook his head and waved his hands, pretending to make the two pawns appetizing.
"Get out of here!" Niu Dawa was not a good-tempered person. He slapped the skinny monkey away, nuzzled at the other person, and said: "No. 1 Scholar, you decide."
The boy named by Niu Dawa was named Zhang Chutian, and he was nicknamed "Zhuangyuan" because he had studied in a small private school in the county for one and a half years and could read more than 200 words. He was the most talented among his peers.
He is learned, hence his nickname.
Liu and Zhang Villages have been foraging in the fields for generations. The poor people in the ravines have never seen the world. They envy and admire scholars who are scholars, but if they are asked to pay for the boys in their families to stop doing farm work,
Go to a private school to study, even if you kill them, you won't do it. But the boys who grew up in the valley have been used to wild things since they were young, so they can't bear to chew on words. Therefore, the people in the two villages have been basically illiterate for generations, so they can only write about themselves.
name.
Zhang Xiaozu has always admired Zhang Chutian because he was beaten by the old village chief with a willow stick for a whole year and suffered so much that he could barely read 108 characters, but Zhang Chutian could actually read more than 200 characters.
, it’s really awesome.
Zhang Chutian also enjoys the nickname "No. 1 Scholar" on weekdays. From time to time he will say a few words, and he is also very careful in dressing up. Take this moment, for example, he, Zhang Xiaozu and others are all dressed in coarse linen clothes.
, due to the sultry weather, Zhang Xiaozhu and others all unbuttoned two or three buttons, spread out their chests, their hair was messy, and they tied it behind their heads with a hemp rope. But he was different, his clothes were flat and neat.
There was not even a strand of hair to be found, and his hair was smooth and smooth. Standing among a group of wild boys like Zhang Xiaozhu, he really looked like a scholar.
"Ahem!" The champion covered his mouth with his hand, coughed twice, cleared his throat, grasped it with his right hand as if grabbing a piece of gavel, slapped it in front of his face, said "pop" on his lips, and then raised his eyebrows and stared.
He looks like a storyteller in a tavern.
Normally, everyone just likes to hear this guy telling stories in a pretentious manner, regardless of whether he is just telling stories from hearsay or nonsense. Anyway, he just likes it and thinks it has a unique flavor.
I only heard the voiceless voice of the number one scholar shouting: "It is said that at three o'clock yesterday, more than ten villagers gathered here, wanting to cross the valley into the black forest to hunt. However, the entrance to the valley was blocked by people from a large family in the county. Each person had to hand over five kilograms of rations.
When entering the valley, half of the prey must be handed over when leaving the valley. Everyone was stopped at the entrance of the valley, and they dared to get angry but did not dare to speak. The two sides were in a stalemate for several hours, and finally people from three villages revolted and tried to force their way into the valley. The three villages almost
Two hundred people, armed with hunting knives, steel forks and other weapons, rose up and launched an attack. As a result, they were killed by just five people from the big family in a matter of seconds. They left their armor and armor behind and screamed all over the field. The battle ended almost as soon as it started. Seven people from three villages were killed.
, the rest were all injured, no one escaped unscathed, and the five members of the big family just had a little dust on their clothes, and they flicked their hands, as if they had just played a game."
"It's a dog day!" Niu Dawa jumped up with his eyes wide open, shouting in disbelief: "Really or not, five against two hundred, you can't fucking win?! Can't you win?
You mean, it’s so damn easy to win?”
Zhang Xiaozu was also in disbelief. Although he had already guessed that several major families were very powerful, otherwise he would not have dared to block the valley entrance to collect tolls due to public anger, but he never imagined that they were so ridiculously strong. It was still easy for five people to fight against two hundred people.
Could it be that the five gods of war won?
