The method of sneak attack has a long history since ancient times. From primitive people running naked to modern robbers, there are only three principles for sap fighting: fast, hard and quiet!

When a primitive ancestor tried his best and failed to catch prey, but a grandson nearby did; or when someone decided one day that he just didn’t want to hunt hard but needed to eat meat, the idea of ​​​​beating that grandson was a sap. Nature came into being.

If we follow this line of thinking, perhaps the earliest killer was a guy who didn't like hunting very much, but in the end he became very good at sap hunting.

Later generations found out that when primitive people saw the female they liked, they would knock it down and bring it into the cave for good, which is the origin of the bridal chamber. This legend is basically based on the customs of a certain ethnic minority and is pushed back hundreds of thousands of years. There are too many loopholes and it is really not enough to convince others.

In primitive society, sap was probably made from the bones or stones of large animals. However, wood is the most suitable weapon to use as a sap weapon. It is light but not too light and not too heavy. The material is easy to find and can be of any thickness. It doesn’t feel bad to throw it away after the beating. In a word, sap is not born as wood, but wood is born as sap.

In the Song Dynasty, the sap began to enter the history books and became a standard weapon used by officials.

The key to sap is to approach quietly or wait for someone to walk by, then hit the victim unexpectedly from a dark place with two fingers on the back of the neck, which is the brainstem. If you hit it too high, you will hit the fatal Tianling Gai. If you can't knock it out, the person will bleed and fight for your life; if you hit it too low, you will hit the strong back of the neck or mitral muscle. If you hit someone with cervical spondylosis, you will be hit hard. After being cured, the opponent's combat power will skyrocket by 10,000 points. If you attack him with nothing, you may die.

Xu Dayong is a very talented sap master. This guy just listened to Zhao Xin's bad idea and immediately understood it. Then he found a stick-shaped elm wood that was hard and soft at the same time. It was heavy and heavy, and he wrapped it with several layers of cotton...so he included A dozen water bandits, including the second cabinet, were all knocked down by Xu Da with a sap, and then his men quickly followed up, tied them up, and threw them into the woodshed.

The water bandits of Luoma Lake never expected it! There is no real rich man in this village in Sheyang Lake, but a group of rebels from the imperial court! When someone who cheats, kidnaps, or extorts someone and commits murder and arson without batting an eyelid, failure is inevitable.

As more and more people were thrown into the woodshed, those who hadn't eaten much noodles already noticed something was wrong. At this time, only Sun Guiyuan, his eldest disciple Zhan Zhenglin, the pretty woman and the girl were left.

As the senior brother of Shu Yuanjiao, Zhan Zhenglin first felt that something was wrong. He originally wanted to take a look outside, but as soon as he arrived at the door of the flower hall, he was surprised to find seven or eight unfamiliar faces standing outside. These people were burly, and when they saw Zhan Zhenglin coming out, they all had smiles on their faces that were uglier than crying, and said, "Do you always have to go to the latrine?"

"I won't go, I won't go." Zhan Zhenglin shook his head like a rattle. The battle in front of him made him feel nervous, and he quickly went into the room and whispered to Sun Guiyuan.

"Master, something is wrong outside! How about we withdraw?"

"Why are you panicking?" Sun Guiyuan's name is "Zhenren", but he is actually a rural liar. At this time, he felt a little guilty and felt that he should not come to the door rashly.

But he wanted to leave but was unwilling to do so, so he finally managed to recruit a few apprentices to go around and swindle money together. It would be difficult to find others. After all, friends these days are usually local people who know the basics.

While they were struggling secretly, they only heard the sound of footsteps outside the door. They turned around and saw Zhao Xin walking into the flower hall with seven or eight people with smiles on their faces.

"Hey, Master Sun is still here! Isn't this noodle delicious?"

When Sun Guiyuan and others heard this, they already understood that the other party had tampered with the noodles.

Zhan Zhenglin gathered his courage, stood up and asked, "What do you mean by this?! My master has clairvoyance. When he saw something evil in your house, he kindly came to help eliminate disasters and avoid disasters!"

"Yes, I serve you with good wine, meat and white noodles. What do you think I mean?"

"Zheng Lin, there is no need to say more. As the saying goes, the golden elixir comes to the mortal world in nine reincarnations, how can sentient beings who are not destined to hear about it." Sun Guiyuan raised his hand to signal, turned to Zhao Xin and said: "Mr. Zhao, thank you for your hospitality. I will not read Feng Shui. Your house has a prosperous population, and prosperity must not be far away. Please call my disciples, and I will leave soon."

"Haha. Want to leave? Don't leave! Since Master Sun has great magic power and has the eye of the sky, then come with me."

Sun Guiyuan pondered for a moment and then said: "Where to go?"

"Overseas. Just use your heavenly eye to help me find coal mines." Zhao Xin finished speaking with a smile, turned to Xu Dayong and others behind him and said: "Tie up these two grandsons!"

"How dare you!" Zhan Zhenglin was shocked, his heart skipped a beat, and he touched his left sleeve with his right hand, and a sharp sharp knife came out. He held a knife and shouted at the two approaching people: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Sun Guiyuan and the woman grabbed the child and hurriedly hid behind Zhan Zhenglin. They raised their hands to Zhao Xin and others and said, "I am ignorant of Mount Tai, and I bumped into all the heroes. Please let me live!"

Zhao Xin crossed his arms and sneered: "Since you dare to engage in a cult to deceive people, you have to prepare for the fate of today. Tell the truth, who in my yard has joined your Yuan Cult?"

"You said you would let us go?"

"It depends on my mood."

"You fool me!"

At this time, Zhao Xin was sitting at the table. Xu Dayong and others were forced to retreat by Zhan Zhenglin with a knife, and were about to retreat out the door. "Chirp~!" With a soft sound, Zhan Zhenglin yelled and the sharp knife in his hand fell to the ground. He covered his thighs and rolled on the ground, wailing: "It hurts me so much!"

Seeing this, Xu Dayong picked up a rag from the coffee table, stuffed it into Zhan Zhenglin's mouth, and held him down.

Ding Guofeng flashed out from behind Wang Changsheng with a pistol equipped with a silencer, and said dissatisfiedly to Zhao Xin: "Why are you dawdling?"

Zhao Xin curled his lips and said, "It's nothing to do with your free time. Let's have some fun."

"The whole house is going to stink!"

"It's okay. I'll let this 'Master Sun' clean it up in a while. There should be a little smell and let him lick it clean."

"Hurry up, Doctor Hong almost fainted just now!"

"Spare your life! Grandpa, spare your life!" At this moment, Sun Guiyuan knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and kept begging for mercy. He knew that he had entered a den of robbers today! He didn't know what kind of weapon the opponent was holding, but the blood flowing from the eldest disciple's leg was very real. The woman holding the girl was so frightened that she huddled on the ground and started crying.

Zhao Xin said calmly: "Take them all behind us and ask them to tell who the Shuoyuan believers in Zhuangzi are. If they don't tell them, they will knock off their fingers one by one. If they don't tell them, they will have all five limbs cut off."

"Five limbs?" Xu Dayong asked curiously, thinking that adding one limb to the other would make it four limbs. When Zhao Xin turned around and glanced at his crotch, Xu Dayong immediately understood! He felt a gust of cold wind whizzing between his legs, and he wished he could go back home and put on another pair of cotton pants.

Chen Jishan pointed at the woman and child and said, "What about them?"

Zhao Xindao: "Take them all away! Find out more before we talk!"

The smoky farce was finally over, leaving behind a house full of messy cups and plates, and a stinking wind-stricken backyard!

The twelve water bandits and several Shuyuan cultists in Luoma Lake were almost exhausted after pulling their pants; the thin and bald man who was beaten first was so smoked that he rolled his eyes. After the water bandits woke up, they all wanted to curse loudly, but unfortunately, their mouths were all covered with tape.

Sun Guiyuan couldn't stand the torture at all. After breaking two fingers, he confessed with snot and tears. At dinner, Zhao Xin not only learned from Xu Dayong who the Shuangyuan disciples in Zhuangzi were, but also learned about the situation of the mother and daughter.

"Sir, the woman's surname is Li, from Henan. Her husband's surname is Wang. She died the year before last year. She dragged her child around to create a group and perform as a performer. Last year, she met Sun Guiyuan and was attracted by this guy. Sun Guiyuan threatened and deceived the woman. It was very hard to raise a child, so I joined the religion and became a godfather."

"Oh. Where is the child?"

"The girl's name is Wang Cong'er, she is seven years old. She is learning arts from the Wang Li family, and she is also very good at traveling around the world."

"Wang Conger..." Zhao Xin felt familiar when he heard the name. He always felt that he had seen this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. "Forget it, let's take the mother and daughter back to Jeju Island together."

Two nights later, when another group of refugees passed inspection and began to board the ship, Ms. Wang Li, with a look of horror on her face, pulled her daughter into the cabin and found a corner to sit down.

Under the dim light, seven-year-old Wang Conger asked in a low voice: "Mom, where are we going?"

Mrs. Wang Li said with a sad look on her face: "Cong Niang is a good girl. I don't know where I'm going."

A woman wearing a mourning hat next to her said: "Don't be afraid, sister. I heard what the old man said before. This is taking us to farm on a large overseas island."

"Huh? Farming?" The Wang and Li family is a woman. Although her feet are not bound, she doesn't know how to farm.

The woman wearing Xiao said: "What are you afraid of? As long as I can eat enough, I have plenty of strength. In the past, in the village, I would tidy up my family's land with the men."

Mrs. Wang Li asked the woman, "Sister, who is missing in the family?"

The woman wearing Xiao sighed and said: "Who else can it be? I am a man. He couldn't take a breath in the autumn, so he left us mother and daughter. In fact, they were both hungry. He was reluctant to eat, so he left that little All the food for my son was left to my mother and I." As the woman spoke, her eyes became a little red.

"Then..." Mrs. Wang Li paused and asked hesitantly: "Then why did you get on this boat?"

"Alas! It's my fault that I didn't live up to my expectations and didn't give birth to a son. As soon as my man died, all the destitute people in the village came. What will happen to us orphans and widowed mothers? We were dragged to the human market and sold. These idiots Kill him! Fortunately, Mr. Xu bought me and my daughter together, otherwise..."

There was a bad habit in ancient Chinese rural areas, which was to live without food. The breadwinner of a family dies without leaving any children, or the children are younger and leave behind some property. At this time, other families in the village joined forces and came to this family to forcibly occupy the family's property, ranging from needlework, pots and pans to real estate and fields. They wanted to take all the valuable things in the family for themselves. If the man's relatives do not support him, the widow and female heirs will be sold, and the money earned will be divided among the whole village.

"The Story of Awakening Marriage" written in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty describes a wife who was ordered to eat and was killed. Fortunately, her husband's concubine was pregnant and she escaped.

The woman wearing Xiao wiped her tears and said to Mrs. Wang Li: "Sister, when we get to the place, our two families will help each other. We can always get through it by taking care of each other."

"Why."

The two widows shared the same illness, became familiar with each other as they talked, and looked forward to the future together. And Wang Conger had already held hands with the little girl from the other party's family and started whispering. At this time, the hull of the boat shook slightly. Wang Li had a lot of experience in the world, so she knew that the boat had already sailed.

"Uh! Uh!..." On another sand boat, a group of bandits from Luoma Lake and Sun Guiyuan and others were still huddled in the cabin and sobbing with their mouths sealed. An action team member responsible for escorting scolded: "Be honest! If you tell me again, I will beat you up!"

Another action team member pointed at Sun Guiyuan and cursed: "You bastard, you didn't lie enough. You brought several people in Zhuangzi into trouble. From now on, I will beat you every time I see you!" After saying that, he followed Sun Guiyuan's example. A few fierce kicks to the thigh. Behind them, a group of refugees looked at these people in horror, not daring to ask questions.

Sun Guiyuan regretted it to death at this time. He originally wanted to cheat a few money, but suddenly he fell into the den of thieves. After having two fingers broken, let alone a believer in Zhuangzi, he even peeked at a woman taking a shower when he was eight years old. After that, I endured the severe pain, pinched my nose and cleaned a group of guys who had pooped their pants. It took me two days to clean up the woodshed. As a result, after finishing the work, he was tied up and gagged, unable to move at all, and was thrown into the cabin. Sun Guiyuan had no idea what the future would bring. He just hoped that as his interrogator said, he would be content not to be hungry again in the future.

Zhao Xin stood on the private dock in the farm, waved at the five sand boats that were going away in the night, and said: "There are still too few boats! Buy at least five more."

Lu Shoushan, who was holding a lantern behind him, asked: "Then the sailor is still looking for people from Luo Jiao?"

Zhao Xindao: "You also go to Haizhou to look for us. We will recruit some ourselves. Others will use people from Luo Jiao."

After saying this, he turned around and walked back, and continued to Lu Shoushan: "We have too many people in the island country now, and this won't work. We must expand the number of Han people."

In the dark night, Lu Shoushan's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Zhao Xin's back, completely unable to guess what his master was thinking. Since he followed Zhao Xin, he felt that people like Sheng Haizhou and Li Ji were pretty good, and they worked hard, trained, and fought. In addition to feeling that these people are particularly concerned about their rank and status, and that they pay special attention to etiquette when meeting someone of a higher rank than themselves, I don't think there is anything wrong with them in daily interactions.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What are you worried about, Master?"

Zhao Xin did not answer him directly, but changed the topic and said: "The fertile fields north of Fuldan City are vast. Although it can only be planted one season a year, the land is fertile and there is no problem in feeding tens of millions of people."

Lu Shoushan said in surprise: "Really?"

"We need to step up efforts to accommodate the refugees in Henan and Shandong. The more people there are, the more manpower we will have to open up wasteland next year. In addition, we have to send people there in Ezochi, which can feed millions of people. Our plates The shop is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a shortage of people. Do you understand what I am saying?"

Lu Shoushan suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded and said: "I understand. What I mean is that with people, we have the ability to compete with the imperial court."

The light and shadow of the lantern swayed gently on the ground, and the river water of Nochaoyang lapped at the river bank. As the north wind blew, Zhao Xin shrank his neck and said slowly: "There is more than one Qing Dynasty in this world!"
