Winter always comes very suddenly, as if overnight, the grass and trees wither, the morning dew condenses into frost, and the oncoming north wind seems to contain ice ballast, and it hurts to cut the face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On Guangwu Mountain, a group of people leaned against the leeward slope, basking in the sun.

The caterpillar took a dead grass in his mouth, looked at the towering Songshan Mountain in the distance, and lazily said to the sick lieutenant next to him: "This hellish weather, come to the river to open stones, do you find your own guilt!" Big brother, the other brothers didn't come, so why should we suffer this bably! In Jiagushan, there is a group of brothers, who dare to look at us! ”

The sick lieutenant said coldly: "Shut your beak!" What do you know? If you come here for two or three months, you can be pardoned and go home, but Jia Gushan will stay for three years! Straight lady thief, you inquire and inquire, smashing stones in Jiagu Mountain for three years, which one is not going to half a life! Those birds don't understand, they have to endure two or three months of hardship, but they can pick up a life! ”

"Hey, this is not a human life! I think that in Luoyang City, we drank wine in a big bowl and ate meat in large pieces, how happy the brothers were! accidentally provoked Zhang Shishilang, and a big disaster fell on him. That twelve-lang ant-like character actually made us suffer this hardship, and when we go back, I have to make him look good! ”

The sick lieutenant glanced at the caterpillar with disdain, and snorted coldly: "How do you make him look good?" As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, the Zhang family is an official eunuch, a former prime minister! Do you know what the Prime Minister does? ”

No caterpillar said nonchalantly: "Aren't they all saying that one person is below ten thousand people-"

"You also know that it is above 10,000 people, and you dare to blow nonsense! Let me tell you, in the past, no one took care of the Zhang family, and we deceived the twelve langs, but now there is an official who takes care of him, who dares to go against him! If you don't know the severity and provoke him again, I'm afraid that you won't even have a chance to come to Jiagu Mountain, and you will be sent directly to Salmon Island, and you will never come back! ”

There are countless angry officials in Luoyang City, and they are usually bullied by a group of people without caterpillars, and they don't take those official eunuchs to heart. In these years, when I was an official, I was an official, and once the people were gone, who cared, because there were many officials who lost their officials and begged along the way and even sold their children and daughters. However, he has always been only sick and Chi Ma is the first to look forward, and when he saw that the eldest brother said seriously, he didn't dare to say anything more.

The sick lieutenant said: "Let me tell you, our brother gritted his teeth, suffered here for two or three months, and then returned to Luoyang in the spring." Go back and stay away from Zhang Shishilang, don't look for him again, now that his fortune has come, how can we people afford to provoke him? I have a brother in Longmen Town, and this time I went back to the city to beg for a living, just as happy! ”

No caterpillar hurriedly said: "No matter where my brother goes, my brother will follow in the water and fire!" -- By the way, there is a forbidden army camp in Longmen Town, and the road to the south is prosperous, and it is no worse than the city. ”

"Hmph, with your brother's ability, you are a hero everywhere, what are you worried about!"

The sick lieutenant squinted his eyes at the warm sun in the sky, planning for the coming year, he must live a bright life.

"You killers, just raise the corpse here if you have nothing to do, but you are having a good time! Get up for me, and get ready to go and throw rocks!" Straight lady thief, ah dare to be lazy, don't eat at night, starve to death what you killed these days! ”

An errand officer held a long bamboo branch in his hand, cursed in his mouth, and struck the prisoner on the ground without a head or face.

A big man jumped up from the ground, grabbed the bamboo branch, and said with wide eyes: "Why are you beating people?" If you want us to do things, just say it, why don't you beat and scold as soon as you come! ”

"Alas, you are a thief prisoner, and you dare to fight back with me!"

The officer's eyes widened, and he jerked the bamboo branch in his hand, and the bamboo branch did not move in the big man's hand.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around, it's coming, this prisoner is doing the other thing!"

The messenger blushed, his strength was no match for the big man, and he turned to shout to the others.

The big man snorted, let go of his hand suddenly, and the messenger was caught off guard and sat on the ground.

"If you want us to work, just say it well, beat and scold, and you should be careful to walk at night in the future!"

The big man clapped his hands, threw down a word, and walked towards the place where he was working, leaving the servants to sit on the ground dumbfounded.

"This is a good man, a lot of strength! Brother, do you know his name? Sick Lieutenant Chi asked, pointing to the back of the big man.

No caterpillar said: "Brother, that's Tong Dalang, because the gambling money arrived in Jiagushan, he was a good man." By the way, the small kiln where porcelain was fired in Guangwu Mountain used to be his, and the gambling money was on the edge of the chasm. This is his land, and there are many brothers at the mouth of the kiln, so naturally he will be hard to speak! ”

"What a boy boy, I will meet him if I have a chance."

As he spoke, the lieutenant got up from the ground and followed the prisoners towards the place where they worked.

When the military bombed the mountain with gunpowder, the prisoners from Jiagu Mountain went to trim the stones into the specified shape, and finally transported them to the bottom of the mountain to repair the embankment.

Chen Yaozuo agreed to Xu Ping's proposal to mine stone on the spot in Guangwu Mountain, and transfer people from the quarrying business of Jiagu Mountain. Jia Gushan was already under his rule in Zhengzhou, and the transfer of personnel was also convenient. In order to encourage the enthusiasm of the prisoners, the general sentence of imprisonment was exile, and when the river was repaired, they were acquitted. This is how Tong Dalang and Sick Wei Chi came here.

There are a lot of amnesties on Jingxi Road, and in fact, most of the prisoners will not be locked up for the age of their sentence, so many prisoners are lucky and do not want to come here. Chen Yaozuo also tried his best to get enough manpower.

The smoke had cleared, the smell of gunpowder still lingered in the air, and the prisoners began to trim the stones under the arrangement of the officers.

The sick lieutenant was late to Tong Dalang's side, and arched his hand: "In Xia Ling Heji, the people in the rivers and lakes call the sick lieutenant Chi, and I have seen my brother." ”

Tong Dalang glanced at him and said lightly: "I'm Tong Dalang, what's the matter with my brother looking for me?" ”

"Brother is so skilled, just flashed that short-eyed errand soldier, it's really happy! I respect my brother as a good man, so I came here to make friends. Wait until you get out of here and drink with your brother! ”

Tong Dalang shook his head: "You misunderstood, I am an agent who keeps to myself, and I have been opening a kiln in this Guangwu Mountain for a living." It was only by accident that he was taken advantage of by a traitor and tempted to gamble, so he fell into today's field. When the river is repaired and my sins are forgiven, I will still be innocent and good, and I will not do anything in the rivers and lakes. ”

The sick lieutenant smiled and said: "My brother is a little out of tune when he says this kind of thing, don't you listen to people say that if you are a thief for one day, you will be a thief for the rest of your life." You have been sentenced, and you have ink marks on your face, how can you still be a good person! (To be continued.) )
