Chapter 296: Leaving None Behind, All of Them Reduced to Slaves
The white mountains and black water, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, the ancient pines are covered with heavy snow, and the snow fields are boundless. www.biquge.info The night was dark, the cold wind was howling, but a mountain forest was filled with firelight, and the crackling sound of burning branches was heard from time to time.
The little girl was lying obediently in her grandfather's arms, her face was red and fluttering, she was very cute, but there was a trace of fear and fear in her eyes.
Her grandfather's face became more and more old, and he sighed a few times for a long time, and his thin old hand hugged his granddaughter tightly, staring blankly at the fire in front of him.
"Grandpa, I'......m hungry," the little girl put her fingers in her mouth, her eyes were glued to the fire, and the corners of her mouth were drooling. Why are those uncles not allowed to eat, the food is given by the eldest brother, and there is also a share that belongs to the girl. ”
The little girl felt very aggrieved, a pair of big eyes full of innocence were filled with tears, she couldn't understand at a young age, those uncles said very well when they took away her and grandpa's food, why she was not allowed to come forward when eating.
The old man hurriedly covered her mouth and said softly, "Don't speak, you will be beaten." ”
"But I have a share of the grain." The little girl struggled and shook her head, dodging her grandfather's hand to cover her, and continued: "They don't let Yaya eat in the morning, and they don't eat Yaya at night, these uncles are dead. ”
The old man let out a long sigh, he looked left and right, and found that there were many bonfires burning in the mountains and forests, and countless Han slaves were warming themselves around the bonfires, among which the strong ones were eating and drinking, while the old and young could only watch obediently, swallowing saliva from time to time, but they did not dare to step forward.
It was not only their grandparents and grandchildren who were robbed of their food.
"Iniquity!" The old man was full of pain, looked down at his granddaughter, and finally stood up ruthlessly, walked to a man tremblingly, and whispered: "Da Liu, can you give us a little food, Yaya hasn't eaten all day, she is very hungry now." ”
The man named Da Liu glanced at him and said indifferently: "I can't eat enough, and I'll give it to you?" Go and go, don't squat here to be an eyesore. ”
"This food is begged for by Yaya!" The old man swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "When the 150,000 Han slaves left, Hou Ye only gave 100 carts of grain, and it was the maid who cried for fear of starvation, so Hou Ye gave 100 more carts. Half of this food was begged for by the maids, and you can't do that. ”
Da Liu stared at him, and said viciously: "The old immortal is a pure fart, your maid is a fairy, and she will give it to others if she asks for it?" ”
As he spoke, he took a few bites of the cake in his hand, and said coldly: "A cart of grain is only a few hundred catties, and two hundred carts sound like a lot, but it is not enough for more than 100,000 people to eat and drink, we can only ensure that the strong are fed first, otherwise we can't protect you old, weak, sick and disabled, get away, don't delay my meal." ”
The old man was a little annoyed, and said angrily: "Da Liu, you were sick once when you were a child, and you were thrown on the grass by the Turkic master to wait for death, but I secretly picked you up and helped your mother dig herbs everywhere, and finally saved your life, why are you like this now?" ”
"Lao Tzu is no longer a slave, why are you mentioning this?" Da Liu's face was full of resentment, he suddenly stood up and kicked the old man hard, and said viciously: "Old immortal, if it weren't for your maid clamoring to eat meat, she wouldn't have been carried to the pot by the big man that day, and if the big man didn't feed her, she wouldn't have found out about the Buddha's arrest." It's all your girl's fault, this damn little brute, everyone was kicked out of the city......"
The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and the cruelty gradually appeared in his eyes. The old man was abrupt in his heart, ran back in a panic and hugged the maid, and begged: "The old man doesn't want to eat, the old man doesn't want to eat, please don't beat us for our pity's sake." ”
"Get out of the way, so as not to make Lao Tzu angry!"
The old man picked up the maid, bent his waist and slowly left, hiding behind a big tree.
The night in the northeast was very cold, and not long after leaving the fire, the grandfather and grandson felt the chill coming, and they couldn't help but shiver all over.
"Grandpa, Uncle Liu is so bad, why is he kicking you."
The old man's face was gloomy, and he sighed: "Don't talk, it's very cold, you go to sleep in your grandfather's arms, the more you talk, the more hungry you feel." ”
Where can the little girl sleep, the northeast night is extremely cold, the grandparents and grandchildren are already thinly dressed, and now they are far away from the fire, the boundless cold is invading, and the girl is constantly shivering.
"Iniquity!" The old man hugged his granddaughter hard, hoping to warm her with his body temperature, but he was old and frail, how much heat did he have in his body?
"Grandpa, why are we being kicked out? Brother Hou Ye is such a good person, he likes Yaya, that day he hugged me to eat meat, that meat is fragrant, Yaya has never eaten such a delicious thing in her life. Grandpa, why did the big brother drive us away......"
The little girl was a little dazed by the cold, lying in the old man's arms, Nono made a sound, and her big eyes were wide open, expecting her grandfather to give her an answer.
The old man turned his face to avoid his granddaughter's gaze, but tears overflowed in his old and cloudy eyes, and he muttered: "Yaya, don't blame Master Hou, it was we who did something wrong, so we were driven away." ”
"What did we do wrong?" The little girl was very puzzled, biting her fingers and frowning: "Yaya is very obedient, that day I held a big broom and swept the snow hard, and the eldest brother praised me for my ability." ”
The old man's tears rolled down, and he choked up with his granddaughter: "It's not your fault, it's grandpa's fault, it's grandpa's fault." Yaya, grandpa I'm sorry......"
The old man couldn't tell his granddaughter that the reason why the Han slaves were expelled was because they secretly betrayed Hou Ye, ate other people's and drank other people's, but secretly believed in Hou Ye's least favorite Buddha, and also confronted Hou Ye for the sake of Buddha.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and although the little girl was lying in the old man's arms, she gradually couldn't resist it, and she was drowsy and hungry, and closed her eyes......
……
……
Suddenly, an elderly woman next to her came over slowly, holding half a piece of cold and hard cake in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tan, quickly give the cake to the maid to eat, the child does not eat water and rice for a day, and adults can't bear it in such weather, and she will die if she starves again." ”
The old man's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to catch the cake, when he suddenly saw a figure rumbling over, kicked him to the ground, and scolded: "Old immortal, who can you show to be pitiful?" ”
This person is Da Liu, he kicked down the old man, but turned his head and said viciously to the old woman: "Mother, if you want to send food again, don't eat it in the future." ”
While speaking, he snatched the cake and said angrily: "More than 100,000 people eat and drink, and 200 carts of grain can only last for four or five days. ”
The old woman cowered and said: "You haven't stopped, but the old man and child have been hungry for two days, my good son, my mother has taught you to accumulate virtue and do good all your life, we can't do evil......"
"As long as I can live, what do I care about them?" Da Liu looked crazy, and suddenly pointed to the old man and the maid who fell to the ground with his hand, and said viciously: "This little beast obviously has a good relationship with the big man, why don't you ask for a few thousand carts of grain?" If she could come so much, no one would go hungry, so naturally she would be given a little to eat. ”
As he spoke, he shoved the cake into his arms and said coldly: "There will be no food tomorrow, since you don't eat it, I will leave this cake tomorrow to satisfy your hunger, so that you don't have to give it away everywhere." ”
He turned around and walked away, and went back to the fire to warm himself.
The old woman wiped away a handful of tears, stepped forward to pull up the old man and the maid on the ground, and choked up: "Brother Tan, the old man is sorry for you, raising such a baby......"
"Alas!" The old man hugged the girl vigorously and let out a long sigh.
The wind was cold and the weather was cold, the maid kept shivering, and the old woman suddenly took off her coat and put it on the maid, and said with a face full of shame: "When we left, the Hou Ye specially gave the maid a leather robe, but unfortunately my son has no humanity, and he actually snatched himself to wear it, God has no eyes." ”
The old woman wiped her eyes and tears, the old man also had slippery eyes, the two of them leaned over to protect the girl, the little girl was very sensible, and smiled with a smile: "Grandma Liu, don't cry, the girl is not cold at all." Uncle Liu is cold, that's why he grabbed my leather robe. ”
"God has no eyes!" The old woman can only cry.
Da Liu snorted in the distance, and said disdainfully: "Of course God has no eyes, otherwise how can he watch me suffer, hum, damn Lord Hou, you can't send a bigger leather robe, this one can only cover half of my body, and I can't wear it hard." ”
Of course he can't wear it, the leather robe that Han Yue gave to Yaya is made of mink, which was originally worn by Princess Jinyang's little son, and the child wears it properly, but the adult can only be a vest.
As the night progressed and the weather got colder, a few men threw a lot of firewood into the campfire, curled up and began to sleep.
Da Liu wrapped his leather robe and shouted into the distance: "Old lady, if you are not afraid of the cold, stay there and freeze, I'm going to sleep." Tomorrow there will be no food, and I will have to send it out to hunt and eat. ”
He tilted his head and slept next to the fire, and before he went to sleep, he muttered, "Fuck God has eyes, if God had eyes, he wouldn't have watched us suffer." ”
God really didn't look at him, but someone was watching him.
Not far from this mountain forest, a group of soldiers lay quietly in the wind and snow, each wearing a thick leather robe and carrying a large bag of cotton clothes on their backs.
"Master Hou, my subordinates feel that this group of Han slaves is really not worth saving, and they are inhumane!" Yu Chi Baolin's face was full of anger, and Li Fenghua next to him was also angry, and the two of them stood beside Han Yue with their hands down, whispering what they had just explored.
In fact, there was no need for them to report, Han Yue already knew what was going on in the forest, and he had a telescope in his hand, and he could see clearly the scene of Da Liu grabbing food and kicking the old man.
"This Da Liu is no longer a human being, he will be assigned to the inferior slaves and sent to Jiapigou to mine." Han Yue slowly put down the binoculars, his eyes were a little cold, but there was a fire in his heart, and he said: "There are also those who rob the old man's food, one of them will be reduced to slavery if they don't leave all of them, and they will send me to Jiapigou now, this marquis never wants to see them in his life." ”

…… Some readers may scold me, saying that the landscape is written without conscience, but there is no way, the plot is portrayed so far, if I don't beat Hannu as a slave, I can't get over my own conscience.
