For the sake of his mother and younger brother, Hu Sha was almost heartbroken. Hu Sha himself couldn't remember exactly how many people he had killed for them.
However, in order to protect his mother, Hu Sha did not mind killing more people. Anyway, aren't bandits just killing, burning, looting, and doing all kinds of bad things?
If anyone dares to touch his mother, he will kill his whole family and not leave any chicken or dog behind!
Hu Ming was so angry that his elder brother sneered.
He raised his head and stared at his eldest brother, who was aloof and thought he was the king, and said mockingly: "Who else dares? Do you know who the new governor of Fuzhou is?
Master Di Yingdi!
Don’t you know who Mr. Di is? Don’t you know how many bad people want to deal with him and kill his whole family? But who succeeded? Who can move?
He and his family are protected by countless people. Do you want to move? Do you dare to move? With just a few thousand people like you?
Do you believe it or not, as long as you dare to touch Mr. Di, your poor village will be crushed by the common people in the blink of an eye? !
My mother worked hard to raise the five of us. This is how you repay her and make her die a bad death, right? ! Are you feeding your conscience to the dogs? ! "
"roll!"
Hu Sha was so angry that he waved his hands, put his hands on his hips, stood on the high platform with his legs spread, and said aggressively: "What's wrong with Di Ying? Not to mention the common people, even the officers and soldiers, how can they do anything to my mountain stronghold? I'm here, relying on the sky and the danger. Impregnable!
Don't try to increase others' ambition and destroy your own prestige. Let me tell you, I am a bandit who wants to go against the government!
If I was afraid of those bullshit officials, what kind of bandit would I be? What kind of mountain king do you want to be?
Go down and stay in your own room. I will arrange for someone to take care of your mother! "
"You are simply unreasonable!"
Hu Ming was so angry that he wanted to argue again, but was pushed out by the other three brothers.
Hu Ming simply pulled the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother, "blah, blah, blah...", trying to persuade them to surrender, rein in the danger, and turn around.
The government's bargaining chip was their mother, and Hu Ming's bargaining chip was also his mother, but Hu Ming did not dare to tell his mother the truth.
Several lines just circled around the old man.
Di Ying found the old man.
Mother Hu is over sixty years old, and her body is still strong, but her eyesight is not so good, and everything she sees is a bit blurry.
When he saw the fat Di Ying, he thought it was his third son Hu Shi who had returned. He was so happy that he grabbed his sleeve and pulled him into the yard.
"Shi'er, you're finally back. Where have you been? I don't know where you are now. Your brother said you were learning a craft outside. What craft did you learn? Is it easy to learn? It must be very hard, right? I see that you have become quite dark.
But you have to persevere. If you want to learn a skill, you have to endure hardship. You have to work hard. Don't worry about home, you, mother and I can still eat, sleep and be energetic.
Come on, come on, sit here and watch grandma make something delicious for you. You like to eat fatty meat, I will stew it for you..."
After sitting him down at the wooden table in the yard, the old lady muttered to herself while walking into the kitchen. When she turned her back, she quietly wiped her tears.
Di Ying's nose felt sore just looking at it.
He suddenly missed his grandma and his own grandma...
When I was young, every time I went to take the provincial examination or government examination, I spent a long time away from home. Every time I came home, his grandma and his aunt were like this...
Either he has lost weight or he has become darker. Either he needs to stew meat or make soup for him. Even if he is obviously fatter, he is also a little bit whiter?
In their eyes, he will always be the child who will not grow up, needs to be taken care of, and will suffer hardship and suffering as soon as he leaves home...
But how many children can understand the caring heart of their parents...
Di Ying wiped her face and looked up to the southwest, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky. I thought to myself: My family lives under that white cloud, right?
How long has it been since you went home? Di Ying couldn't even remember it.
Mother Hu was helped out by Liu Liu.
Liu Liu had a sweet mouth, supported the person, and kept saying: "Sit down, it's dark in the kitchen, don't make you trip again. Leave the cooking to us. You Just sit here and talk and wait for food."
Liu Liu's voice made Hu's mother, who couldn't see people clearly but had very good ears, realize that the person who came was not her son.
She remained silent, let others support her, and went to sit down at the table. Then she looked at the person opposite, who looked like her third son, and asked, "Who are you?"
Looking at the old lady who no longer had any friendly feelings on her face and whose voice was wary and distant, Di Ying smiled warmly.
He said slowly: "Auntie, we are from the government. For no other reason than to register the population of each household.
Now that the county magistrate is gone, all the evil things he has done in the past will also be punished. As for the land, money and silk that he occupied, the government will also return it to the people.
But you can’t have hair that’s messy or messy, right? Therefore, it is necessary to re-register the population of each household. Would you mind telling us? "
"I don't mind. Just ask."
The old lady said calmly.
Di Ying could tell that Hu's mother said she didn't mind, but in her tone, she was clearly more wary.
He looked at the old lady, with the smile on his face unchanged. He took out a pen, paper and ink tube and asked, "How many people are there in your family? What are their names? Are they male or female?"
"In my family, my wife is the only one in my family. I also have a younger son who is studying outside and rarely comes home. There is no more land at home, so my wife and I will raise some chickens and weave some cloth to sell so that my younger son can study." The wife opened her mouth to answer.
"oh,"
Di Ying believed it.
He took notes without pausing, and continued: "It's not easy. I think your house is also cracked, leaking air everywhere, and it's not very stable. The new county magistrate wants to build the city wall. We need to build strong houses for the people. Are you willing to move?"
"I don't want to."
The old lady immediately shook her head vigorously. Look around you again and look at your own home.
After wiping the corners of his eyes, he said: "Old lady, I don't have a good look in my eyes. I'm used to staying in my own home, and I rarely even step out of the house. If I move to a new place, the old lady will definitely fall.
This one has old bones and cannot withstand being dropped, and it will break. So I won’t move, thank you officials for your kindness. Even if this house collapses and the old lady is buried, she will never complain about you. "
