"The thieves fought against Huainan, and the place was poisonous... and even the Yang family entered Guangling, but the lixiangluzhong was urged to do so, and the poison spread all over the ground..."
"There are people who sell their children in tens of thousands of homes, those who demolished their houses on Yingjie, some who sneak in here and flee to hide there, and those who are scattered and migrating to the gully, there are those who have lost their homes and cried for nothing. Taoists, there are those who shave their hair as monks, those who have nothing to do are hanged in a well and die, and there is no longer a wealthy room."
"Escaped one after another, even shaved their hair and neck, and the city had cut their daughters"; "There are those who hang themselves into the river"; "The rich have to cast themselves in a hundred directions to hide, so that the rest of the people who can't make it can survive the death of several generations." "The scholars had their vertebral muscles peeled, rushing to the sky, paying heavy losses and suffering for a while..."

—I am the dividing line —
The small backyard was quickly searched, and even a few shriveled corpses were found under the dead branches of the weeds. The uniforms of the officers and soldiers were suspected to be killed here. However, when they buried it, the faint movement finally stopped. However, it only stopped for a while, and it rang again after the soldiers began to eat.
"Head of the team, I'm afraid it's a little dirty here!"
Seeing some soldiers who were a little suspicious and surprised, Lin Qianjun couldn't help putting down the can in his hand and became annoyed and yelled:
"This broad day is afraid of a bird, who is the chief governor we follow? The living Bodhisattva and immortal! What we are doing right now is a dignified salvation plan to save the great cause. Isn't it natural to win with blood but spoil the change? A mere ghostly means!"
While talking, he personally picked up a short spear and came to the hall, whipped up and shouted at the walls, the ground, and the trees:
"What pretending to be a ghost, please show me up! Believe it or not I can kill you again!"
After beating so hard, the unknown movement really disappeared. However, Lin Qianjun did not take it lightly, but solemnly encircled him in place. In the end, he found a hole under a big tree with dense roots, and there were still traces of a derrick that had been slumped for an unknown length of time.
As he took a few pieces of dry soil with one foot, the echo of the rustle falling to the ground was heard in it, but it was a dry shallow well. Then the strange sound and movement that made people horrible out of thin air appeared again as if being touched. Lin Qianjun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Come on to help, I'm afraid there is a big guy hiding in it!"
Afterwards, he shouted to several other soldiers who followed: After a while, under the desperate agitation of the noose composed of the rope and long rod they brought, it really caught a lot of weight and squirmed. Things; and then dragged out by a concerted effort.
However, what made them a little disappointed was that it was not a big prey that was dragged out, but a clay figure with a rickety body that couldn't see the original appearance! But at any rate, they still have a little compassion for being soldiers of Taiping. Lin Qianjun immediately ordered:
"It looks like a poor man in trouble. Clean up the man before feeding him something to eat, and see if I can ask for some useful information..."
Afterwards, the meat dish stewed with miscellaneous hair fox meat, miso and dried fish was finally cooked, filling with a strange meat aroma. And the patrol team led by Lin Qianjun also completed the exploration of some key points of the surrounding terrain, and filled out half of the march log. Then I remembered that the hapless guy in the pit could not help asking:
"Does anyone wake up?"
"After feeding the soup, I woke up, but I said something... I don't know what to say..."
One of the fire chiefs who stayed behind replied with a weird expression.
"How did you give birth to a weird law?"
Lin Qianjun couldn't help being surprised:
Then he saw the survivor in the ruins of the main hall, who had been cleaned up for the first time, but he was an old man whose hair and beard were all curled into a ball and described as skinny as a skeleton. It's just that the old man is wrapped in a thick felt blanket, while greedily stuffing rice balls in his mouth, licking the rice grains scattered between the dirty fingers, and then humming from his nose, talking intermittently. Incoherent content:
"Reward, reward, I will give you a heavy reward..."
"It's delicious, it's really delicious, and the gods don't make it..."
"You are blessed to save me..."
"One more, no, a bowl, that soup..."
"When I look back and send me back, everyone has a hundred rewards for the silk. No matter which one leads the soldiers, he can immediately be the guard, and the county magistrate and the governor can choose whatever they want..."
"For those who want to get married, I also have a garden full of opera singers Ren Er ask for... not enough, not enough, let's have another biscuits... I will give you a house..."
However, compared to those soldiers who held their arms around in a circle, their faces were full of teasing and laughter watching the jokes. Lin Qianjun, who heard these insane words, slowly opened his mouth in disbelief and hesitated to speak; after all, he had followed General Zhang (self-encouraging) and heard something vaguely. .
However, he observed it carefully, and only felt that the more he looked at the other party’s appearance and appearance, the more they looked like that, the more he listened, the more it looked like that; Lin Qianjun couldn’t help but feel the fierce beating mood, and pretended not to think. :
"Lao Zhang is a nobleman in Yangzhou City..."
"exactly.."
The old man whose mouth was stuffed like a hamster and bulged up vaguely responded. .
Hearing this answer, he couldn't help but couldn't restrain the ecstasy in his heart, and he laughed loudly, and said to the left and the right:
"It's a blessing from heaven. There is a big opportunity and future out of thin air. I'm afraid it will fall on this one..."
"Waiting, is that man and horse's commander?..."
At this time, the scruffy old man finally recollected and asked with some doubts.
"To clean up the world, recreate peace..."
The soldiers on the left and right couldn't help but shouted in unison with stern expressions: The next moment, the old man's appalled soup bowl fell on his cross-legged legs, and rolled to the side with pain.
—I am the dividing line of horror —
In the panicked Gaoyou City, in the Xu family mansion where the "Sanshi Sheren (Zhongshu)" and "Five Generations of Tanghou (official)" hang, the gray-haired contemporary patriarch and head of the family, Xu Fengyan, is also sighing at the family members. Road:
"All that can be sold are sold, and all that can be divided are also divided... even if it stays there is no use!"
"Patriarch, why is this so! These are the roots of our long-term and long-standing operations for generations to come! Maybe if we insist on one or two more, we will survive it?"
Hao Shou's white-haired family also tried to persuade him.
"Persist? Even if the peaceful thieves don't come this time, how long can my family persist..."
Patriarch Xu Fengyan smiled helplessly:
"The officials and the army have to collect and donate when they come, and the volunteer army (the soil group) has to apportion, and they have to help raise; these people and horses are flowing like water, and even the refugees have to eat up the ground when they cross the border. When is this kind of day a head? I'm afraid that the thief army will no longer be in the future if the family is still there!"
"But isn't the Taiping thief always cruel and cruel, not seen in the prestige of my generation? I am afraid that sooner or later, the house will not be guaranteed!"
Some people also said with a sad face:
"No matter how cool it is, it still wants to lead the world, and it also has to rule someone who pays food, pays, and goes to military service! At least it will not kill those who are still useful?"
Xu Fengyan sighed more and more:
"Since they hate the tyrants, and they can't tolerate the activities of well-dressed and trendy households; then we will divide the belongings and the fields into many small portals for self-reliance; it is not easy to be accounted for. In the end, maybe some homes and surnames can be preserved, right?"
"Don't you know, the merchant houses in the city are all preparing their flags secretly, waiting for the thieves to come and greet them with clogs... Before that, I decided to go to the mountains to escape from the world and repair. My family is the court's many generations. Eunuch, no matter the good or the bad, it will naturally be affected by its own interests."
"You are good at knowing it! If there are too many children in the family, it is inevitable that those who are unscrupulous should deal with them early and get rid of them. That is the scourge of the overthrow of the family involved..." (End of this chapter)
