Chapter two hundred and ninety nine

The supper was dry, the two coarse grain steamed buns were still very large, and a bowl of vegetable soup with oil and lie on the bed after eating. For Jiang Zheng, that was simply the most comfortable thing in the world.

This is also the treatment that only people who work in the afternoon have to get a job. If they don’t work in the afternoon, there will be only one steamed bun, and they won’t even have a soup, but no one will complain. Compared to the rice porridge that looks like this soup in the morning, it’s good to eat steamed buns.

There are more than 20 people in the room where he lives, all of them are large bunk shops. After working in the village for a day, everyone usually spends their time bragging on the bed. However, from unfamiliarity to familiarity, after so many days, no matter how many cows are, they will be bragging. The twenty or so people are already so familiar that they can no longer be familiar with each other, so naturally they no longer have the interest to brag this night.

Therefore, even if there are occasional topics, it is centered around some new things happening in the village. Their village is the Jiayi Village and is also the most rigorous place in all villages. There is no way. Who said that there are the most young and strong people in this village? If there are many other villages, the old, weak, women and children, the officers and soldiers will naturally not be so rigorous.

Moreover, among the almost all the bachelors who had no family were all concentrated in this village. The old and young officers and soldiers were not afraid of their troubles, but it was hard to say about them. Anyway, Jiang Zheng had seen two eyes-free guys rushing into the officers and soldiers, and even robbing the officers and soldiers' weapons, but they were cut down on the spot.

He wouldn't be so stupid!

Isn’t it just to do some hard labor? The officers and soldiers imprisoned them here, and they clearly didn’t intend to kill their lives. The two stupid guys felt that they were not vague, but they even gave up their lives!

I don’t even have such a high eyebrows and low eyes, I deserve to die!

The officers and soldiers can't keep him for the rest of their lives. As long as they don't die, there will always be a day to make a comeback. He is only less than thirty years old and still has a long life. He can afford to wait and bear it.

"Brother Zheng!"

A thin black guy called out to him not far away. He turned his head lazily to look at him. This is his experience he has summarized. It is best not to move around after dinner, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable when he gets hungry in the middle of the night. Whoever has been hungry will know.

"When I finished work, I saw that the kitchen was still busy. Will there be a meal tomorrow morning?"

Others in the room also looked at Jiang Zheng. Because they had been a soldier in the left guard, Jiang Zheng naturally became the most useful person in the room. However, this was still useless. He could think of it with his toes, these guys were dreaming!

"Hmph!" He snorted in his nose, too lazy to even speak.

Everyone suddenly showed disappointment and was locked up so much that they now only have this little pursuit. A thick steamed bun has now become something they long for.

"What are you busy with in the kitchen? On such a hot day, will the food you made be broken by tomorrow night?"

The thin and black guy who spoke felt distressed when he said it.

"You are just worrying about it. I haven't done much work recently. It's good to have food. I heard that except for our Zhuangzi, the other Zhuangzi, every meal is sparse, and the kind that goes away after urinating. Those women all have hungry eyes green!"

"Go back to women, who did you hear? It seems that you have really seen those women in other villages!" The thin black boy refuted the other party in dissatisfaction, "We are together every day, I have never seen anyone go out of the village! Do you really think the mail towers around the village are decorations, and the officers and soldiers are watching closely. Xu's beheaded man doesn't have any reason to kill people. Whoever dares to run away will shoot him to death on the spot!"

"You know, I just heard from the officers and soldiers. Brother Zheng is from our Tianjin. Please tell me, are the soldiers from our Tianjin this time all the soldiers from our Tianjin? If you don't say anything else, everyone is from the villagers. If you don't say it, you will take care of it. What's the point of saying something!"

"Brother Zheng, is this the case?" The thin black guy asked Jiang Zheng to prove it.

"Well, this is the case!" Jiang Zheng said lazily: "It's not the soldiers of the Three Guards, but the soldiers of the Jinyiwei. I don't know how to recruit people in our Tianjin, but don't provoke them. It's good that these people are willing to say a few words to you. Don't point at others how to take care of you. In their eyes, we are criminals!"

"Look, I'm right!" The man was confirmed by Jiang Zheng and said proudly: "The officers and soldiers are on the streets near us. Although they don't know each other, there are always some familiar ones. You can tell after a few words!"

"Really?" The thin black guy suddenly became energetic: "Is it because we were working today that we looked at our officers and soldiers? Then, can we be lazy afterwards!"

"I advise you not to try!" Jiang Zheng turned over: "Their bosses looked at them. Those people were all Jinyiwei from the capital, all of Xu's confidants who beheaded, and they turned against each other and killed without blinking."

"Tsk!" The black and thin boy smacked his lips with some regret, as if he was regretting that he could not get in touch with the officers and soldiers.

"Brother Zheng, do you think they can let us out?" After a long time, someone asked in silence: "When will such a day end?"

"Who told us to be greedy for the little bit of benefits of joining the sect? Once we entered the sect, we should have thought of what we are today!" Jiang Zheng sighed: "It's okay for you, at least you have gained some benefits. After eating some big fish and meat, I'm losing a lot. I followed our little flag in a mess and entered the sect. Otherwise, now maybe I'm watching you bastards outside!"

"Where is the little flag that led you into the sect?" asked the thin black guy timidly.

"Die!" Jiang Zheng said angrily: "They come to get people according to the roster. This guy still has to resist and cut them off on the spot!"

The room fell into silence again. Although these people were all admitted to the White Lotus Sect, most of them were the most basic people. They had basically never encountered this occasion where people were dead.

"It would be great if I could quit the education!" After a while, someone sighed softly.

A sigh suddenly sounded in the room. If they had retired from the education, wouldn’t they be the same as the people outside? Even if they were imprisoned for a year or two, I’m afraid most of them would be willing to admit it. They used to think that their life outside was not easy, but now when they think about it, compared with the life here, their life outside was no different from the New Year every day.

Unfortunately, it’s just a matter of withdrawing from the education, just thinking about it. Not to mention that they want to withdraw from the education and have no place to retreat, even if there is a place to retreat and the officers and soldiers don’t recognize it, it’s still nonsense.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and everyone looked at each other and quickly turned over and lay down. At this time, only the inspectors and soldiers were walking outside. If they saw them talking and chatting here and not sleeping, they might have to take them out and eat them with a few scabbards.

The light of the torch shone in. Jiang Zheng secretly looked at it. It turned out that it was the officers and soldiers who were wearing the torch. Someone knocked on the railing at the door with a scabbard and shouted inside.

"The thirteenth house in Jiayi Village, the head of the house comes out!"

Jiang Zheng was stunned, and got up from the bed in a flash, walked to the door with a smile on his face, and replied through the railing: "I am the head of the house, I am the head of the house!"

"Pick two people and come with them!" The officers and soldiers did not explain and directly ordered.

Jiang Zheng turned around and waved to the two guys who had just talked the most, "You, and you, come with me, is the official going to live temporarily?"

"If there is something good, go and listen to the class!" The officers and soldiers glanced at him, opened them and released them: "My master specially invited the master of Fanbian who is proficient in Buddhism to save you... Well, save you, follow me and listen carefully, learn well, and the master pays for you to add a meal!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you must study hard and save the master!" Jiang Zheng nodded, nodded anyway, and the official said everything right.

However, the two people behind him, including the thin black guy, showed joy on their faces. They could eat steamed buns when they listened to the monk chanting. This was a good thing that fell from the sky!

The two disappeared into the darkness as the officers and soldiers left. The people in the room looked at each other and waited until there was no sound. Only then did someone hesitate: "Did we hear it wrong just now? The officers and soldiers asked the monk to chant scriptures for us to listen to, and there are also things to eat. These things are not for the dead, right?"

"Brother Zheng and Xiao Hei are finished. Fortunately, Brother Zheng didn't call me just now. This is a dead meal, a beheading meal! Are the officers and soldiers finally going to attack us?"

"Don't scare yourself. If you really want to kill us, is it so troublesome to use it? A fire at the door was thrown in. None of the twenty people in the room could escape!"

There were many discussions in the room, and there were all kinds of statements, but no one could sleep anymore.

It was almost an hour later that the light of the torch appeared at the door of the house again. Jiang Zheng and Xiao Hei, who were safe and sound, were not missing any of them and were sent back by the officers and soldiers.

As soon as the few people came back, they each returned to their own bunks, took out the steamed buns that were still emitting fragrance from their arms, and started eating them. The fragrance suddenly filled the entire house, and the sound of saliva suddenly appeared in the house.

Unfortunately, the three of them ignored the others. They ate the steamed buns on their hands one by one, then scooped a scoop of cold water in the bucket with cold water in the corner of the wall, drank it down, and then burped it with satisfaction.

"Brother Zheng, this steamed bun was given by the officers and soldiers?" Someone finally couldn't help asking questions.

"Yeah!" Jiang Zheng was in good spirits and slapped: "Listen, let's set a rule in our house. The officers and soldiers said that every three days, there are masters of Fanbang to preach, and each room has to take two people to listen to. Moreover, the two people who bring each room cannot be fixed. After the lecture is over, no one has two steamed buns. The new rule is, if you take them, I have the final say. The people who follow them to listen to the lecture must give me half of the steamed buns. Do you understand?"

"This is a matter of course!" Xiao Hei responded loudly to Jiang Zheng's words: "If anyone doesn't want to respect Brother Zheng, then don't point it. Anyway, there are so many people, so it's enough to go in your turn!"

"Who said that Brother Zheng's rules are very good, so that should be like this!"

After a word was made, everyone agreed. As long as you can do such a good thing, you can share a steamed bun for Jiang Zheng. If you divide it, you can have one more. If you don’t, there will be nothing left. This fool will settle the account.

"How could this officer and soldier think about asking the monk to chant the scriptures for us?" someone asked curiously.

"You don't understand this!" Jiang Zheng chuckled, "It is said that we want to clear our sins and let us be human again. Anyway, it's just telling those Buddhist scriptures. However, this monk is a bit strange. He is not a monk from the Ming Dynasty, and the Bodhisattvas they believe in are not what we know. It seems that they are called God, which is a bit funny. Shouldn't God be the Jade Emperor?"

"Is it the Buddha Lord?" someone speculated.

"I don't know, we're just thinking about eating anyway!" Jiang Zheng scratched his head: "There's no way. It's so delicious to put several baskets of steamed buns there!"

Everyone laughed knowingly, thinking that if they were themselves, if they had a few baskets of good things in front of them, they would be very fragrant, I was afraid that the monk would have lost all the money and probably wouldn't have the heart to listen to them. Jiang Zheng also heard some things back, which was much better than them.

As the days passed day by day, the third day came soon.

This time, the Thirteenth House still took the lead in the lead. This time, he brought the other two people who were usually obedient. When he came back from listening to the lecture, the three of them had a happy smile on their faces.

"There are fish, there are fish!" The two people who followed him almost danced and gestured: "Each person has a dried fish as long as a slap. It's so delicious. Unfortunately, the officers and soldiers have to watch it finish eating on the spot, otherwise we will definitely bring it back and give it to Brother Zheng!"

"I also ate my own portion!" Jiang Zheng looked indifferent: "You are doing well, so let's not forget about this matter, that monk... Oh, they don't call monks, they seem to call priests. When the priest asks you, you can actually answer. It's very good, and you didn't lose the face of our Thirteenth House!"

He scratched his bald head: "Damn, I have to listen carefully next time. If I ask me, I will be too embarrassed to answer!"

Everyone in the room showed envious eyes. But Xiao Hei suddenly thought of something: "I said, Brother Zheng, this monk is preaching and giving food. Why do I feel that this is similar to when we entered the sect? Wasn't we deceived us into the sect like this?"

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent like death. If you didn’t say it, everyone would feel it. After Xiao Hei said this, everyone immediately reacted. Yes, it seemed that this was really the case.

"You know a chicken feather!" Jiang Zheng was also stunned and spat randomly: "I'll ask you, who invited this monk??"

"Hao beheaded!"

"What is Xu Beheading for?"

"Xu Beitou was sent by the imperial court to Tianjin to pacify the chaos..." Xiao Hei was stunned: "Damn, Xu Beitou wanted to rebel!"
