After the sacking of the bandits in Liuling Mountain, now the Su family is greatly injured, and more than half of the family business accumulated by generations for hundreds of years has been given, and as the local grain chief, he has not yet paid the tax, and he already owes the autumn tax of thousands of stones of grain in Zuoyun County - for the Su family, the economic pressure is now extremely great, and Su Yimo and his son are changing their ways to think about how to make money.

Several family members dragged the sisters out of the room, Su Erhu turned around and said coldly: "You rented thirteen acres of land from the old man's family, according to the rules of this year, one acre of land has six buckets of grain, and you have to pay a total of seven stones and eight buckets." If you can't hand over the food, you can pay the money! ”

The corners of his mouth glanced slightly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and he smiled extremely viciously: "Two girls, you can be regarded as a debt." If you can't raise money and food within three days, you two daughters won't be able to see you. ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Zhao Dahan, turned around and left.

Zhao Dahan covered his face and cried bitterly, his shoulders twitched, he was already completely desperate. The rent paid before, after paying the tax, there is only a few rations left, and now the grain has been snatched away, and it is difficult to survive for three days, where to get this seven stones and eight buckets of food?

His mother-in-law, Wang, struggled to get up from the ground, and she had just beaten her violently a few times, and now she was covered with scars, and her face was covered with blood, and she looked quite terrifying and hideous. She struggled to Zhao Dahan's side and cried: "Boss, we have to redeem our daughter!" ”

"Ransom? Redeem your mother's redemption! ”

Zhao Dahan suddenly became furious, he roared angrily, slapped Wang's face fiercely, and scolded: "It's not all your dog's belly, giving birth to these two money-losing goods!" Ransom, ransom a fart! What to ransom? Just let the two of them die there, just in time to be exempted from taxes this year! ”

Wang was directly stunned by this slap, and she didn't expect her man to say such a thing, she looked at Zhao Dahan in a daze, suddenly covered her face and turned around, sat there blankly, tears fell.

Blood and water mixed together and dripped down, wetting a piece.

At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and Zhao Dahan looked at it, but it was Su Erhu who came back. He quickly put a smile on his face and looked at Su Erhu flatteringly.

Su Erhu just saw the scene in his eyes, he sneered, he didn't even bother to speak, just threw the knife and scabbard in his hand next to the dead snake.

He walked with the knife for a while, but the more he walked, the more awkward he felt, and he thought that the knife would become a bad thing, so he didn't dare to hold it anymore, and turned it back and threw it on the ground. In his mind, if this snake is really psychic, I am afraid that it will only come to Zhao Dahan's house to take revenge. Although it is a pity to have this knife, it is good to save his life.

When he went out, not long after, Zhao Dahan heard a sound of screaming, crying and roaring from the household next to him, and it was chickens flying and dogs jumping. Soon, it spread to the whole village.

Zhao Dahan actually laughed out loud, and he said to himself: "It's not Lao Tzu's bad luck to enter your mother." ”

Just as soon as he raised his eyes and saw the dead snake on the ground and the terrifying and hideous dead snake head, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Go, clean up the ground and throw this thing out." Zhao Dahan kicked Wang and commanded.

Wang sat there dumbfounded, but he didn't move.

Zhao Dahan was immediately furious, and kicked hard with some strength: "Are you deaf?" Hurry up and clean up for Lao Tzu! ”

Wang Mu Ran got up, reached out and took a stick, and pulled the snake's head out. Although she was scared half to death just now, she seemed to be completely afraid of this thing, but Zhao Dahan was full of worries and didn't notice this. What he didn't notice was that Wang occasionally looked at him like a dead man, full of despair and indifference.

With the arrival of the families of Su Mansion, the entire ancestral village seems to have fallen into hell.

The door was violently kicked open, the last scrap of subsistence was snatched, a small number of cattle were snatched, almost all the daughters of the family were robbed, and even two good-looking women were snatched away.

The whole village cried and gloomed.

But that's just the beginning.

……

Today is a big day, for the soldiers of Fort Rock.

Because today is the day to elect Wu Chang and the team.

That's right, it's a choice.

Early this morning, in the midst of the terrible sound of bamboo whistles, the recruits of the Rock Fort battalion climbed up quickly.

Most of them even had their eyes closed, but they were already very adept at passing on their clothes, pants, shoes and socks, folding the quilt and placing it against the wall, and then putting the pillows on it. Many people did not open their hazy sleepy eyes until they went out to wash with a wooden basin.

In fact, according to the requirements of the army, he went to bed at nine o'clock, and now it is almost about six o'clock, and he slept for nine hours, which is very sufficient, at least far more than many people in later generations.

But the account can't be completely counted like this, after all, they train extremely hard every day, consume a lot of physical energy, and need more sleep time to replenish.

After washing up, they came to the meeting place.

The recruits have been assembling for training for a long time, and now they have fully adapted to life in the barracks, and by the time they reach their training area, they are completely adjusted. Stimulated by the cold morning breeze, the brain is also a lot clearer.

The twelve members of the first killer team stood up straight, thinking that they had seen it out of the corner of their eyes, and Dong Yiying, the trainer of his killer team, had already walked over to this side with a whip, and the whip was dangling in his hand, which made people feel uncomfortable to see.

Even Jiang Laosan also stood up straight, these days he asked Dong Yiying to clean up obediently, and it was not as prickly as at the beginning.

Of course, he knows exactly how.

Dong Yiying walked to the front of the formation, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Lizheng!" ”

"Look to the right!"

"Stand upright!"

"Look ahead!"

Then it is to walk forward in unison, turn left, turn right, turn back, and now these things have become basic training items, every morning exercise, morning exercise, afternoon exercise, evening practice, before the exercise, it is necessary to come again.

This is the basic project that the recruits were tossed and tormented at the beginning of their training, and after a long period of hard training, it is no longer difficult for them, no matter how stupid they are, there is no problem now, and they can go through it smoothly.

After a trip to basic training, it was already a quarter of an hour later, and the recruits were already sweating profusely. People like Jiang Laosan, who are stout and burly, are already sweating.

They only wore padded jackets and did not have underwear such as undershirts and vests, so the inner lining of the clothes was very uncomfortable sticking to their bodies.

But no one cares about this, compared to the suffering before, what is this now?

Dong Yiying glanced at everyone: "Rest in place, a stick of incense." ”

Let them rest on the spot for a stick of incense, which is about five minutes.

And the so-called rest in place here is not like other armies of the Ming Dynasty, as long as it is said to rest, it will immediately sit on the ground. In the Rock Fort Army, you can rest in place, but you can move your hands and feet on the spot, bend down to relieve the soreness in your waist, move your neck and shoulders, rub your knees and ankles, etc., but you are absolutely not allowed to sit down, and you are not allowed to leave the queue.

The time of a stick of incense passed quickly.

Dong Yiying just flicked the whip, and without waiting for him to speak, everyone quickly stood up straight.

Dong Yiying said in a deep voice: "Take the weapon!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and as soon as they turned around, they took their weapons in their hands.

Behind them was a long rack of weapons, which they leaned against when they came every morning, and then each of them stood directly in front of their weapons, and they only had to reach back to hold them in their hands.

"Array! Form a marching formation! ”

"Yes!"

With Dong Yiying's order, everyone dispersed.

Zheng Fakui, who was a temporary team leader, walked to the front, his figure was straight, the palm-wide cowhide belt around his waist was tightly tightened, and there were coconut scoops, waist knives and other things hanging on it. He held his sword in his left hand and held in his right hand a long flagpole eight feet long, with a sharp spearhead at the top, and below the spearhead was a small colored flag, the color of crimson. He held the bottom of the long flagpole about a foot and a half upward, with his forearm and big arm at a forty-five-degree angle, and the end of the long flagpole about a little lower in the waist. In this way, the height of the color flag is about a little more than a zhang, enough for everyone in the entire killer team to see.

Whether in battle or on the march, all the soldiers of this killer team must follow this color flag, because this is the sign of their killer team, and it is also their guidepost. Where the color flag is, it marks where they need to be. Wherever the color flag is pointing, it means where they will charge and fight! Under normal circumstances, a team with a long flagpole will not participate in a battle, and once it does, a long flagpole made entirely of the finest tough wood, coupled with a sharp spearhead, is also a very lethal and powerful weapon. It stands to reason that the team should have a set of cotton armor and a set of chain mail, but now the chain mail of Panshi Fort is only the one on Dong Ce, and there are a lot of cotton armor, but it has not been delivered, so it has not been distributed. The bright helmet was sent down, Zheng Fakui was wearing a big red fat jacket and a bright helmet, looking a little nondescript, but his face was solemn, which made people feel a cold and solemn breath coming to his face.
