A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Dou'er Village is located in a remote area. Roads have been built in the past two years, and some news from outside can be transmitted in.

The government is not a fool. It is inevitable that people will run away. The arrest of young men will not be publicized with great fanfare. Except for the village where the young man was arrested, no one in other villages has received the news.

It is said that the government guarded the entrances and exits to the village and no one was allowed to report the news.

So the village chief and clan chief don’t know about this yet.

"Catch the strong man?"

The village chief yelled in disbelief and stood up because he was so surprised.

"Sit down, don't make a fuss." The patriarch slammed his cane hard and glared at him.

The village chief was so anxious that he was sweating. Instead of sitting down, he said anxiously: "Uncle San, how can I sit still? This is to capture young men, and two of them are captured at once. If they are captured, they will Where can I leave life?”

Compared to the village chief's anxiety, the old patriarch was much calmer and glared at him again.

"I heard you. I'm not deaf. Just sit down when I ask you to sit down."

Under the pressure of the clan leader, no matter how anxious the village chief was, he could only hold back and sit down obediently.

"Ms. Xia, I wonder if this news is reliable?"

After the village chief sat down, the old patriarch looked at Bai Xia, who was sitting in the main seat.

The news was told to them by Bai Xia. Because the government deliberately blocked the news, Douer Village had not received the news yet.

"The old patriarch can send people out of the village to inquire about it. Now every village is guarded by officials. If the news is true or false, you will know immediately."

The old patriarch looked at her deeply and wanted to ask her where the news came from. After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't speak and left with the village chief.

Not long after the two left, several children aged seven or eight jumped away from the village and headed towards several other villages.

Bai Xia is not in a hurry. The news is true and he is not afraid of their prying.

The child is lively, but his feet are slow. He goes out in the middle of the afternoon and doesn't come back until late in the evening.

The news the village chief and others received was the same as what Bai Xia said. The village chief couldn't sit still and hurriedly went to find the old patriarch.

The two chatted in the room for a while and then came to the summer house together.

It was already evening, and the two of them shouldn't have come to the home of a girl like Bai Xia to avoid being gossiped about, but the matter was urgent and they didn't care so much.

"The reason why Miss Xia told us this news is that there is already a way to solve it?"

The two sat down at Bai Xia's house again. This time, unlike in the morning, they had already received the news and were sure that the government was really arresting people. Even the old patriarch was not as calm as he was in the morning.

"no"

Bai Xia shook her head, and the village chief and clan chief felt their hearts go cold. They heard her say again: "But..."

Seeing that both of them were looking over her, she continued: "I'm afraid the governor of Xuzhou will rebel."

The two were stunned.

"So this group of people who are captured are the rebels. If you don't want to join them, the best way is to resist. It depends on whether you two have the courage."

There are not many people in Dou'er Village, but everyone follows the herd. Once the people in Dou'er Village rebel, it will inevitably have a chain effect, and people in other villages will also rise up to resist.

The governor of Xuzhou wanted to use the king of Jizhou as a proxy, but it was the people of Xuzhou who suffered.

Although Xuzhou's military strength is weak, it is not without troops. Moreover, there is no war yet, so there is no need for so many people.

However, the government began to arrest strong men from this time on, and their purpose was nothing more than to take human lives to fill the gap.

People were taken away, but their relatives and friends were still in the hands of the Xuzhou governor, so they had to obey.

Even if you are going to die, you cannot take a step back.

"Rebel? Where is he rebelling against?"

The village chief was stunned by the word "rebel", but the old patriarch still retained some sense.

"Jizhou"

Bai Xia spit out these two words, and the old patriarch's cloudy eyes kept rolling.

"Is it the emperor's order?" Thinking that the food tax collection was the emperor's order, he subconsciously asked.Bai Xia shook his head.

"It was his own idea"

The expression of the old patriarch changed. He was just an old farmer. Apart from farming, he didn't know anything about national affairs. However, he also knew that recruiting an army without the emperor's order was called hoarding troops. Calling them rebels had no problem at all.

And he was so good, why did he go to attack Jizhou?

If he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it.

"It's easy to say, but we idiots like us are no match for official officials." The old patriarch smiled bitterly.

Thinking of the officials in the county government, all of them are tall and strong, and they also know some kung fu. How can they be their opponents?

"As long as you listen to me, I can help you."

Bai Xia called them here just for this matter.

She didn't want to watch the people of Dou'er Village die in vain. There were no boys in her family, and the only one, Yu Dahai, had made a contract of sale when he faked his identity. Now he is a slave of his master and is no longer on the list of young men. inside.

"it is good"

The old patriarch quickly agreed without asking any further questions.

After a few more discussions, they left Bai Xia's house.

On September 23, a group of officials, with ropes hanging on their shoulders, rode fast horses on the road to Douer Village.

There were about ten people in total, and each of them had a solemn look on his face, exuding a chilling air.

The horse ran very fast, and the houses of Dou'er Village could already be seen in front of them.

"stop"

The leading catcher reined in his horse and stopped, looking at the empty field ahead, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

“Something’s not right”

The other detectives looked at it several times, but couldn't find what the problem was. Isn't it just a slightly more luxurious small village? Is there anything wrong?

"Don't you think it's too quiet? The autumn harvest has just passed, and there should be many villagers digging and weeding in the fields, but there is no one in these fields."

The head catcher is about forty years old. Before he became a head catcher, he was also an old farmer.

Seeing that there was no one in the surrounding fields, I felt something was wrong.

The other detectives looked at each other and discovered the problem.

It's a little strange indeed.

Several people rode horses and observed carefully, but when they arrived in the village, they found no one.

Every door in the village is locked.

The whole village became empty.

At the other end, at the cloth shop on the mountain at the east end of the village, most of the people in the village were gathered here. A young man who was inquiring about the news ran back quickly and went directly to the largest house.

"Miss Xia, they are here. They are wearing ropes and riding horses. They are now in the village."

Hearing this, Bai Xia turned to look at the fifty or so strong men who had lined up.

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready"

Everyone roared angrily and their morale was high.

As the main targets of the government, they wanted to resist more than anyone else. Bai Xia gave them this opportunity and taught them some simple fighting skills. Each of them held a two-meter-long wooden stick in their hands. , the stick is as thick as a baby’s arm and fits just right in the hand.

When they heard that the arresting officers were coming, everyone was ready to go.

Fortunately, during the construction of Bufang, they were afraid that the noise would affect the villagers, so they did soundproofing, so that their roars were not leaked out. Otherwise, they would have been discovered by the village officials.
