Chapter 944: Poisonous Fish

As soon as it was dawn, Gao Fu heard the neighing of people and horses on the road north of the village, and the roar of sleighs and ice plows galloping, and he thought that the tribal alliance was marching again.

Thinking of a group of Khitan auxiliaries passing by a few days ago, who broke into the village like wolves and looted food everywhere, Gao Fu didn't feel half cold. At first, they only dared to be angry and did not dare to say anything as the Khitan dogs broke into the village and took away the little pheasants and hares and mushrooms that were left in their house to hunt in the heavy snow, but later, those guys robbed them of their things and cooked at his house. They stewed the pheasant and rabbit meat they had stolen, threw them in with the mushrooms and boiled them, and feasted and drank a great deal of it.

Who knew that after eating and wiping it clean, these Khitan dogs were actually full of lust and lust, and they forcibly pulled the rich mother to go. It's pitiful, Gao Fu is fourteen years old, his father is in his early thirties, and he was forcibly recruited by the Khitan two years ago, and he hasn't returned. His mother is not yet thirty, although she is hungry and some of her faces are yellow, hungry and thin, and her face is black and rough in the north wind, but after all, she is a young woman, and her figure is still very slender. After these well-fed Khitan auxiliaries drank some wine, the rich women, who were originally just rough old ladies, suddenly became like fairies in their eyes. One by one, he laughed lewdly, and he was going to go up and down his hands and chase around.

Gao Fu and several young people in the neighborhood did not expect such a thing to happen, in a fit of anger, Gao Fu and a few teenagers in the neighborhood, carrying a hunting fork, rushed into the house, after some desperate efforts, although a few were just teenagers, but the dozen or so Khitans all drank some wine, drunk and smoked. In the end, the result turned out to be Gao Fu and the villagers from the left and right who heard the sound and killed the dozen Khitan dogs.

After killing those Khitan auxiliaries, they waited for their blood to retreat. I was immediately scared. The whole village fled to hunting huts in the mountains. But it's too cold in the mountains. I didn't eat anything. After a day's stay, they couldn't stay any longer, so they went back to the village.

After they returned, they were frightened for a few days, and every day they sent people to guard outside the village, and they were ready to flee into the mountains again as soon as there was any disturbance, but for several days there was no movement. I thought it was safe. As soon as the guards outside the village withdrew, a large group of people came.

His heart was half cold, and those Khitan dogs came to settle accounts. He trembled and looked out through the crack in the door, and was immediately startled.

"It's not a Khitan dog, it's the cavalry in iron cuirass who has entered the village."

The roads in the village were full of Qin soldiers wearing large white cloaks and navy blue iron cuirass, Gao Fu recognized from their signature shiny iron cuirass. The tribal coalition rarely had iron armor, and if there was any, it was mostly iron armor and chain armor, and even less half armor like this large breastplate. In particular, this navy blue bust is almost a big sign. Prove that they are the cavalry of the Qin army. And looking at the faces of these people, it was obvious that they were also tribal soldiers, which made him understand that it was the tribal cavalry of the Qin Domain who entered the village.

There was also a very glaring mark, and the officers of the cavalry had a red triangular on their rifles. And the big flag in the hand of the tall flag bearer is a black flying eagle flag.

Gao Fu hurriedly put on a thick wooden pole behind the courtyard gate, and then hurried back to the house to wake up the whole family, and climbed over the backyard wall, but reported the neighbors and partners next door.

No sooner had he turned back to his yard than he heard a knock on the door. It was Qin Jun knocking on the door, the sound was not loud, but it made the listeners panic.

Although there are rumors outside that the King of Qin of the current Tang Dynasty is the concubine of their King of Bohai and married Da Yue'er, the princess of the King of Bohai. Then he said that now the Qin State sent millions of troops into the Bohai Sea precisely to help his father-in-law, the king, resist the tribal army. But there are also rumors that Li Jing is actually going to annex Bohai, and the tribal army is the same purpose. Some people also say that now the Bohai Kingdom has long since died, and the Bohai royal clan has all been placed under house arrest by Li Jing, and the entire Bohai Kingdom, where they are located, has fallen into the hands of the tribal coalition army, while the southern part of the Bohai Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the Qin army.

Gao Fu was just the son of a hunter in a mountain village, and he didn't know what was true or false about what was being said outside the road. But he is confident, that is, all the soldiers are not good people, the soldiers of the Bohai State are the same, the soldiers of the tribal alliance army are the same, and the soldiers of the Qin army must be similar. Some of them feasted on all the livestock, some even the strong men, and some even the young women.

The cavalry commander of the Qin army wearing iron cuirass was the same as the tribal cavalry, and there was no difference at all.

However, he leaned his back against the courtyard door and listened carefully for a while, but felt a little strange, the Qin soldiers outside were not slamming the door, but knocking on the door, knocking very politely, which made him extremely strange, when was the soldier so polite?

The knocking outside continued, and after thinking about it, Gao Fu still opened the door cautiously, there were too many Qin troops outside, since they were knocking so politely now, he felt that he should open the door before angering them.

As soon as the door opened, a tall tribal soldier stepped in, nodded at him with a riding spear, and said in a somewhat stiff Bohai dialect, "Food, give!" ”

Gao Fu's face was bitter, and he hurriedly said with a smile, "Sir, my family has already been cut off, and I really can't get food, the chief is good, will you let my family go?" ”

The tall Qin soldier who was like a black bear still stubbornly said, "Qin army, food, give!" ”

The whole family, who was also careful about the probe in the back, was confused.

At this time, a tall Qin soldier rode in outside the door, with a red epaulette hanging from his shoulder, two crossed spears on it, and a thin folding bar. The two crossed spears represent the junior non-commissioned officer, and a thin folded bar signifies that he is a corporal. Gao Fu didn't know the rank and rank of the Qin army, but he just felt that the patterns on the shoulders of this later Qin soldier were more complicated and better looking than the previous one. Moreover, this big man has the face of a Bohai people, which is very similar to their satior people.

Sure enough, the tall man took a diagonal step and stood upright, and said in a very pure dialect: "We are soldiers of the Ninth Army of the Qin Army, and the King of Qin knows that there is a great famine in the Bohai Sea and the Yan Prefecture, so he specially orders us to send a bag of grain to each of your families. ”

Gao Fuxin's mouth opened wide, what the hell, when have you ever seen a soldier speak so politely, not only did he not rob and commit adultery, but even took the initiative to take out food to give away? His mind was full of the forced conscription of the Bohai Navy in the past, as well as the pictures of the Khitan soldiers burning, killing, looting and committing adultery, and the contrast was so great that it was difficult for his mind to turn the corner for a while.

The corporal waved his hand, and the black bear-like soldier immediately leaned his rifle against the wall, ran out, and soon carried a bag from the climbing plow on the village road outside the courtyard into the courtyard and put it on the ground. The corporal Lizheng emphasized again: "This is the food sent to you by His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" With that, he turned around and walked out of the hall with the big black bear.

Gaofu's family was stunned for a long time, and the most embarrassing thing was Gaofu's grandfather, an old hunter who stepped forward and opened the grain bag, which was not much. There was a wooden barrel containing a bucket of taro flour, about five catties, and a bucket of canned fish, about ten catties, and a small bag of millet at the back, about a bucket.

It's not a lot, but it's definitely precious this winter.

"Grain, really grain, and canned fish." The old man in his sixties had his eyes lit up and exclaimed with disbelief on his face.

Gao Fu's twelve-year-old brother and nine-year-old sister also ran forward from behind, gathered in front of the bag, staring intently at the grain.

Twelve-year-old Noble reached for the can of fish, and his mother slapped his hand away.

"Beware of poison!"

In a word, the whole family involuntarily took two steps back.

Yes, why did Qin Jun send them food so kindly? If they don't come to rob, they are already good people, but they still give them food, which is strange. Even if their King Qin was the son-in-law of their King of Bohai, he wouldn't be so kind. You must know that this small bag of grain is extremely precious today. In such a hungry and cold winter, it can even save the life of a family.

Perhaps, this grain is poisoned, and they are going to poison them all?

Gao Fu thought about it like this, and felt that something was wrong, if the Qin army wanted to kill them, there was no need to waste so much rich food.

When he was still puzzled, his younger brother Gaogui had already taken advantage of their inattention, suddenly opened the seal on the can, quickly grabbed a piece of fatty and oily fish from the can, put it in his mouth, and then chewed it in a big gulp.

His mother was frightened, and the woman with dark skin, who had almost been raped by the Khitan soldiers a few days ago, grabbed her second son in a panic, and lowered her head while holding him down, and at the same time picking his throat.

"Spit it out, it's poisonous, do you want to be poisoned? Spit it out, spit it out and it'll be fine."

Noble but tightly closed, while still swallowing hard, chewing a mouth full of oil.

"No, I don't vomit, I'm poisoned, and I'm also a full ghost, it's better than being a starving ghost!" His mouth full of fish and oil, squeaked and slurred.

Finally, he swallowed the fish in one gulp.

His mother, seeing that it was too late, sat on the ground and cried, thinking that her son had eaten the poisonous fish and was about to die.

It has been a long time, and there has been no adverse reaction at all.

He felt that the fish had almost been digested, and he looked at the open can with greed, and whispered, "Maybe I'm going to die, why don't you let me eat more poisonous fish." (To be continued......)
