Chapter 5 0004 [Dogs look down on people]

After dinner, it was getting dark.

As night fell over the world, Xiaodong Village fell into silence.

There is no entertainment at night in the countryside. After working hard all day, the villagers also went to bed early, and they will have to get up early to do farm work tomorrow.

In addition, there is another point that sleeping can save physical exertion.

After all, I only eat two meals a day, and the morning meal is gruel.

Han Zhen woke up in the middle of the night.

Woke up hungry.

In the three days since he crossed, he hasn't had a peaceful night's sleep, and every time he wakes up hungry in the middle of the night.

Miscellaneous grains and wild vegetables are not enough to be hungry. To put it bluntly, there is still no oil and water.

Lying on the bed, Han Zhen decided to go to Xiaowang Village to hunt wild pigs tomorrow, and earn a reward by the way.

Regardless of future plans, the most urgent task now is to fill the stomach.

Suppressing the churning of stomach acid, half asleep and half awake, I heard movement in the yard.

Han Zhen rubbed his face, got up and walked out of the room.

At daybreak, Mrs. Han Zhang was about to go out to work with a hoe on her shoulders. When she saw Han Zhen woke up, she ordered: "I have gone to the field. If uncle is hungry, let's cook and eat first."

Because they go to bed early, farmers usually get up at four or five o'clock, and then go to work in the fields.

I worked until nine or ten o'clock before going home for breakfast.

Han Zhen shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go, I'll wash up and go back to the county."

There is not much food left in the family, and it is the season of shortage. If he eats, Han Zhang will be hungry next time.

"Don't uncle stay at home for two more days?"

"No!"

Han Zhen waved his hand, not noticing the disappointment flashing in Han Zhang's beautiful eyes.

There are only two words in his mind now.

eat meat!

Eat meat!

After breaking a willow branch casually, brushing his teeth briefly, and washing his face, Han Zhen rushed to the county seat.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he stepped into the east gate of Linzi County, and then went straight to Zhenquan Temple.

Yes, the foothold of Han Zhen and his gang of rogues in the county is a temple.

Zhenquan Temple has a history of hundreds of years. It was built during the Tang Dynasty. It used to be very popular, but now it has been completely dilapidated. Only a few old monks are still standing there.

In recent years, Song Huizong was superstitious about cultivating immortals, vigorously supported Taoism, and even established Taoism, and Buddhism also ushered in the fifth catastrophe.

Many people in later generations only know that the Three Wus and One School exterminated Buddhism. In fact, it was Song Huizong who really stabbed Buddhism to death.

Song Huizong's extermination of Buddhism did not use force, but it attacked Buddhism from the root.

First of all, Song Huizong stipulated that the status of Taoist priests was higher than that of monks.

Secondly, officials and ordinary people were ordered not to worship Buddha and make offerings to monks.

A few years later, the order was issued again to burn all Buddhist scriptures that slandered Taoism and Confucianism.

In the end, it was more ruthless. Song Huizong directly incorporated Buddhism into Taoism. The Buddha was implicated and renamed Dajue Jinxian, and Arhat and Bodhisattva were renamed Immortal and Dashi.

The Avalokitesvara, which is often called by later generations, originated from here.

After this combination of punches, Buddhism was completely wiped out.

Although Zhenquan Temple was dilapidated, there were quite a few wing rooms, which naturally made it easier for Han Zhen and others.

At this time, the old monks in the temple were gathering in the Daxiong Hall for morning class. Seeing Han Zhen approaching, several old monks smiled at the corners of their mouths and nodded to him.

Although Han Zhen and the others occupied some rooms of the temple, they did not bother them. On the contrary, they occasionally helped them.

After all, without incense offerings, the old monks are now having problems eating.

In the wing room, Ma Sangou and others were still soundly asleep.

Han Zhen called them up one by one, then walked into the wing room where he slept, opened the bed board, and took out two knives hidden under the bed.

These two knives are all of Han Zhen's belongings.

The most popular among folks in the Northern Song Dynasty is the plain knife, which is 1.2 meters to 1.5 meters long and has no handle. There is a screw on the handle to install the wooden handle.

The short handle can be used to plow the field, and the long handle can be used to kill the enemy.

There was a detailed description of the simple knife in "Water Margin": Lu Junyi took out the simple knife, put it on a stick, and three maids fastened it firmly, and drove the car to Liangshanbo Road.

The reason why simple knives are popular, in addition to being cheap, is that the Northern Song Dynasty government can't help simple knives.

Because this thing is half a soldier and half a farmer, it can be used as a farming tool...

Putting the simple knife on the long-handled wooden pole, Han Zhen picked up another knife and carried it on his back.

This is a knife.

Compared with the simple knife, the hand knife is shorter and thinner, with a straight blade, suitable for close combat.

The hand knife of the Northern Song Dynasty is actually a variant of the Tang Heng knife. The difference between the two is that the hand knife is shorter.

Holding a simple sword in hand, holding a sword on the back of the shoulder, and one person with two swords is the standard equipment for warriors in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Ma Sangou and the others had finished washing, and when they saw that Han Zhen was fully armed, they were taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Second Brother Han, what are you doing?"

On weekdays, when fighting, they always use fists, and at most they hold wooden sticks.

The nature of fighting with knives and weapons is different, and it is easy to kill people.

Han Zhen asked, "Do you want to eat meat?"

"miss you!"

Ma Sangou replied subconsciously.

Although I ate fish last night, one grass carp is not enough for several big men, and it will be gone after a few bites per person.

"Go, I'll take you to eat meat!"

Han Zhen didn't explain, waved his hand, and left the room with the knife.

Seeing this, Ma Sangou and the others stopped asking questions and followed up one after another.

A group of six people went straight to the east gate, and the two guards guarding the city gate saw this scene and almost peed their pants in fright.

The main reason is that Han Zhen is tall and intimidating. At the moment, he is holding a long-handled simple knife, which looks like a killing god from a distance!
Originally, the two guards were about to run away, but they stopped when they got closer and saw that it was Han Zhen.

One of the guards patted his chest and complained: "I thought the gangsters came in, and I almost scared me to death."

"Han Er, where are you going?" Another guard asked curiously.

Han Zhen explained: "There are wild pigs making trouble in Xiaowang Village, I'll go and see. If I can catch them, come to the temple to eat meat together at night."

Hearing that there was meat to eat, the guard smiled and said, "Then I'm waiting for your good news."

……

Xiaowang Village is located in the mountain depression to the west of the county seat, with a distance of more than ten miles.

Ma Sangou and the others already knew that they were going to hunt wild pigs on this trip, and they were all extremely excited.

After more than half an hour, the group finally arrived at Xiaowang Village, and the sun was already rising.

Among the thatched houses, a big house with blue bricks and red tiles stands out.

A group of people came to the door of Wang Yuanwai's house. Seeing that the door was closed, Han Zhen had to go to the side door and knocked on it.

Not long after, the side door opened a crack from the inside, and a middle-aged housekeeper poked his head out, looking at everyone vigilantly.

Han Zhen said: "I heard that there are wild pigs making trouble in Xiaowang Village. Wang Yuanwai offered ten coins as a reward. We are here to hunt wild pigs."

Hearing this, the housekeeper's vigilance dissipated a little, and he said arrogantly: "Oh, there is such a thing."

Han Zhen didn't care about the attitude of the other party, and asked, "Which mountain forest is the wild pig in?"

Xiaowang Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. If you don't know what to do, when will you find it?
"It's in the forest in the north of the village, just wait and go."

After the butler finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.

"Pooh!"

Ma Sangou spat at the door and said angrily, "It's really a dog's eyes to see people inferior."

Han Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said with a light smile, "You already said he was a dog, so why bother with a dog."

This sentence caused the crowd to laugh.

"Haha, Brother Han is right, I don't care about dogs."

While talking and laughing, a group of people went straight to the north of the village.
