Chapter four hundred and thirty seventh sin
The Tartars are finally here.
The villagers of Taoning Village were gathered at the entrance of the village to receive a lecture.
The leading Tartar was a big and thick man. He said it in Chinese, which meant that everyone would actively offer food.
The villagers looked at each other, and they didn't dare to show off.
They have saved some food this year, but no one wants to take it out.
These Tartars are things that are worse than pigs and dogs. Instead of taking out food to give them, it is better to feed them directly.
But no one dares to say it.
Everyone looks at the eyes and nose and mind, hoping that the Tartars will not pay attention to themselves.
The Qing army general was obviously angry by the resistance of the villagers in Taoning Village. He yelled: "A group of shameless things, we are the king's master. Does the king understand? The Qing Dynasty is about to seize the world. When will the unlucky people wait for filial piety? I will leave my words here today. I have a task and must collect 500 stones of food. If I can't complete the task, I will not be able to escape!"
He glanced at everyone, but when no one responded, he sneered: "Okay, it's so good. I'm pretending to be mute for me, right? Well, come and search me from door to door!"
With his order, the Qing soldiers, who were like wolves and tigers, scattered and began to search in groups of three or three.
Although they are not many, they are very majestic, as if this is their territory. On the contrary, the villagers of Taoning Village dare not speak out, and they all bow their heads and are helpless.
"General, please take a break, so that's all, I'll do this."
A general smiled flatteringly.
"Um."
The Qing army general responded and said with his hands on his back: "It's true that poor mountains and rivers are coming out of troubled people. I think it's true. The people in this village are full of scammers, but they are not good things at first glance. The conscience is so bad."
"What the general said is." The general gave a flattery and then continued: "I heard that Huguang is the granary of the world. Although Yunyang Prefecture is not as rich as Jingxiang, it is also very rich. Maybe this Taoning Village has no food? It must be these unlucky people who are deliberately targeting my Qing Dynasty royal army."
"You're right. These mud legs don't know how to advance and retreat. I thought we were easy to bully, so I gave them some colors."
"June Jun, June, you can't take this. The young and old people are counting on the food for the winter. If you take it away, the young and old people will starve to death."
"Yes, Jun Ye, you have to leave some for us. As winter is coming, where can we find food to eat?"
"Oh, they are really a group of thorny and tactful people, they are talking about one thing at a time."
A Qing soldier jokingly looked at the couple in front of him: "What does it matter if you are the unruly people eating less? I am collecting military rations. Do you understand the military rations?"
He stepped forward and threatened, "If you don't cooperate, I can cut off your head now. Do you want food or death?"
The woman was stunned for fear, pulled her husband's sleeve and said, "What should I do if the head of the family?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the Qing army soldier, "Mr. Jun, please leave us some food, otherwise you will really not be able to survive this winter."
"A irresponsible unscrupulous person!"
The Qing army soldier kicked him in the chest: "Your life is worth the lives of the soldiers of the King's Division?"
After saying that, he walked out with his food on his back.
The man was kicked and rolled on the ground in pain. The woman rushed forward and cried loudly: "Boss, what kind of evil have we committed? How can we live this life!"
The Qing soldiers turned a blind eye to this and left.
The situation of the other companies is similar to this one.
Most people hide their food.
But their home is so big, where can they hide? Qing soldiers found it after searching.
After finding them, they punched and kicked the villagers without any mercy.
Li Houshi was frightened, afraid that the same thing would happen to him.
But when I think of the pit he dug, no one would notice it, I couldn't help but feel a little calm.
Finally, the Tartars came to search for his house.
There were three people coming in total, one of whom seemed to be a low-level officer.
After seeing him give a few instructions, the other two rushed into the house and began to search.
The two of them searched very roughly, making Li Laoshi's home a mess.
Li Laoshi felt distressed when he saw it, but he dared not speak out. He just hoped to send these plague gods away as soon as possible.
Two Qing soldiers spent half an hour searching Li Laoshi's house, but they couldn't find a grain of food. They had no choice but to report to the general.
Upon hearing this, the generals' eyebrows were twisted together.
"The bold and unruly people dare to tease me."
He drew his sword and put it straight on Li Laoshi's neck.
Li Laoshi only felt his legs weak, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and his mouth was so whimpering that he couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Li Chen was anxious and hurriedly said, "Mr. Jun. Don't blame me. My family is really poor. If I hadn't relied on the relief of the villagers these days, I would have to eat Guanyin land."
The Qing general didn't believe it and sneered, "You lie to me, damn. If you keep hungry, will you have this expression? OK, if you want to be sloppy, let's show you what you will end up with."
After saying that, the two soldiers tied Li Laoshi to the old locust tree in the yard.
"June, what are you doing? What are you doing? The head of the family, you"
Li Chen looked at him at a loss, looked at the Tartars and then at his own men, and he actually cried out.
"What evil is this committed? What evil is this committed!"
She beat her feet and stamped her chest, and cried loudly.
But not only did this not awaken the conscience of the Qing army soldiers, but instead made them feel very happy.
"Cry, shout, even if you shout, no one will come to save you."
The Qing general pulled out a horse whip and walked straight towards Li Laoshi.
Seeing this, Li Laoshi immediately understood what the other party wanted to do. He was so scared that he begged for mercy: "June Jun, please spare me."
"I want me to spare my life? OK, tell me where the food is hidden, and we will leave immediately after we take it."
The Qing army general said coldly.
"June, we really don't have food to store."
Li Laoshi still refused to give in, but his voice was already filled with crying.
The Qing army general laughed wildly and whipped a whip: "I'll ask you again, where is the food hidden for the last time?"
"June, we don't have food to store"
"Swoosh!"
