The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 89: Fatty's Life Experience

Speaking of Fatty Zhang Dabiao, his background was very bumpy. 30 years ago, I lived in a small village far away from Hexi.

Grandfather left a few acres of fertile land, but suddenly one day it was seized by a big landlord.To be honest, my grandfather was so angry that he broke into the landlord's house alone in the cold winter night to argue without telling his family. However, the ten or so dogs kept by the landlord's house were very vicious and broke one of the grandfather's legs, and then threw him out the door. In addition, the stubborn grandfather just lay in front of the landlord's house all night and did not leave, and finally suffered severe frostbite.

When Fatty Zhang’s father went to the landlord’s house to search for someone, he found that his grandfather was dying. After carrying Fatty’s grandfather back, the family hired famous doctors and doctors in the county for treatment. I owed a huge debt, but my grandfather didn't survive for half a month, and died helplessly in anger.

Before his grandfather died, he still couldn't forget the several acres of land occupied by the landlord, and when he was buried, his father said that his eyes were still closed.

The father, who was still young at the time, couldn't be more angry, and four brothers including his uncle went to the landlord's house to ask for an explanation, but the landlord's cousin is a county captain in the county, and he has his cousin's backstage support, and usually bullies good things If there were too many, they immediately asked the thugs to throw them out of the house.

At that time, the four brothers suddenly became angry. When they came, they came with a hoe and a hatchet. They were about to fight to the death. Unexpectedly, there were so many thugs that they beat the third brother to death in front of the three brothers. The elder brother who was in great grief at that time As if going crazy, he rushed out of the thugs' encirclement and ran into the lobby of the landlord's house. He saw a hoe on the head of the arrogant and domineering landlord, and immediately chopped the landlord to death.

That's okay, the thugs all rushed to the elder brother to trap him, and were about to send him to the county government. When Fatty Zhang was young, his father recalled that his uncle yelled at his father and fourth uncle to let them go quickly, and then the uncle He hit a stone pillar and died instantly.

That night, Fatty's father took his wife who was pregnant with Liujia and his fourth uncle, and the three left their homes and fled their hometowns, and then ran to the deep mountains of Lintong, more than 1000 miles away from their hometown, Hexi, incognito.

Just settled down in the mountains for several months, Fatty’s mother died of dystocia when giving birth to him. It’s a hard life. The family is so poor that they can’t cook. His father happened to be 25 years old that year.

There is no way, there is no rice to cook at home, although he is worried that he will be wanted by the officials when he goes out, his father is forced to do nothing, after leaving the child at home, he discussed with his fourth brother. After wandering in the mountains for two days, when they reached a dead end, God favored his family. The two brothers hunted a lactating female wild goat.

Tethered the sheep at home, and carried half the house of hay for the sheep to eat. The ewe nursed the baby Zhang Fatty, leaving the fourth uncle to take care of the child.Then his father ran to the pier alone to fight against the sacks and do coolies unloading the goods.When he walked out of the deep mountains, his father said to his fourth uncle:

"Fourth, the family suffered a series of accidents. Our poor father, elder brother, and third child have all gone. Now my mother-in-law is suffering too, giving birth to a fat baby and passing away.

Now there are only me, my father and one child left, and I have fled to the deep mountains without food or drink. It seems that I will run out of food. Your second brother, I am thinking about going to the outskirts of the capital to sell some energy to earn some money to support the family. You take good care of the little child at home. , so you can rest assured.

. . .Rich landlords in this world can bribe the government office and turn black and white at will. If I can't hide my identity, I am caught by the government, and I will be beheaded after being taken away. If I can't come back, the baby will entrust you. "

Fatty Zhang's father is really a tough guy. It is said that he went out of the mountain and ran to the pier. Every day he resisted the sacks of three strong men, earning two cents of labor wages, and went back to the mountains once in half a month. The son brought food and oil back home, and for ten years he worked hard to support the three of them.

The fat man has lived with his fourth uncle in the deep mountains of Lintong for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the big forests within a radius of five hundred miles.

My ancestors left behind a secret book of touching gold, which I took with me when I fled. My fourth uncle came back from hunting in the mountains, and whenever he had free time, he pondered over that ancient book. Fortunately, my fourth uncle studied in a private school in the country for four years before leaving home. The classics of Mojin Tomb Raiding have been repeatedly searched for three or four years, and more than 300 pages of paper are almost torn by the fourth uncle.

When Fatty Zhang was seven or eight years old, besides taking his nephew to hunt roe deer and wild boars in the deep mountains, the fourth uncle wandered around in the big forest. According to the guidance of the ancient book of Mojin, the two found out a radius of five hundred miles. There are more than 20 mausoleums in the big forest. Under the guidance of his fourth uncle, Fatty has also practiced good hunting skills and secret skills of tomb robbery. His shovel skills are learned from ancient books.

When Fatty was 14 years old, the fourth uncle who was a money fan finally couldn't bear to find a big tomb to dig. The fourth uncle said that he had lived a hard life in the mountains for too long, and the second brother carried sacks on the pier for more than ten years. The year was too hard, and it was time to rest, so he encouraged Fatty and his father to go to the grave together.

At that time, the fat man's father, who was honest and responsible, persuaded the fourth uncle for a few days, but the fourth uncle's temper was like a stubborn bull. Once he made up his mind, he would not turn back.

At that time, the fourth uncle said in a fit of anger that he wanted to go alone, at his own risk, dig the treasure by robbing the tomb, and then take the fat man and his father to eat and drink spicy food, and the three of them left this ghostly place in the mountains after they had money.

Fatty's father had nothing to do, worried about the safety of his only younger brother, he gritted his teeth and agreed to the fourth uncle, and did the tomb robbery against his will.

Fatty was left alone at home, and he waited for his father and fourth uncle in the thatched hut in the deep mountains for five days. Five days later, in a dark night, his father came back distraught, with dirty, fluffy hair like The bird's nest, with dull eyes, looked like a beggar, but the fourth uncle didn't follow him back. If the fat man hadn't heard his father squeak to open the door, he would hardly have recognized his father.

Just as the anxious fat man asked where the fourth uncle was, his father said slowly with snot and tears that his fourth uncle touched the mechanism of the tomb and was buried alive in the sand and suffocated to death.Father dug for four full days but failed to find fourth uncle's bones. This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Fatty, and the two father and son hugged each other and howled all night.

The fourth uncle, who was only in his 20s, died at such a young age. His grandfather was in the same line, and his grandmother died of illness 20 years ago. One, only his father is left, this series of accidents of the death of relatives, even the strongest man can't bear such a heavy blow.

Fatty's father seemed to be the same as before, but his face was a little pale with sorrow. He told Fatty that after the fourth uncle left, only Fatty was left at home. There are many large wild animals in the deep mountains, and the latches must be closed at night. In short, he said something To take care of his trivial words, his father immediately went out of the mountain and ran to the pier to continue working as a coolie.

Fatty waited for his father for more than half a month, from late autumn to winter when the cold wind blew, and his father never came back to the mountains on the usual agreed day.

It was the first time for the fat man to go out of the deep mountains. He had always followed his fourth uncle before. A young man and a fat boy stood on a high hill, watching their father go down the mountain, and kept waving goodbye until his father passed through the woods and left. On the dirt road leading to the capital, the figure disappeared.

At that time, the fat man couldn't wait any longer, so he carried a piece of bacon on his back as dry food, hurried away for two days and two nights and ran out of the deep mountain, and set foot on the dirt road that he had been looking at from the hills before. His father once said, "Working as a coolie on the wharf by the Weinan River."

On the way, he kept asking passers-by about the location of the pier. When he arrived at the pier, he found a few co-workers who were doing coolies with his father, only to learn that there was a thunderbolt from the blue.

His father died. When the cargo was unloaded on the ship eleven days ago, his father, who had been in a trance, was carrying a 200-jin sack. When he passed the wooden board connecting the cargo ship and the wharf, his father failed to grasp the heavy sack. The two big sacks on his back and the person fell into the raging Weishui River. The workers jumped down to save the person, but they didn't even find the body after a day of salvage.

The workers didn't know that Fatty's father had a son, and they couldn't find his family to inform him. It wasn't until Fatty arrived at the pier that he got the sad news.

He was 14 years old at the time and had lived for more than ten years. The strong Fatty Zhang had only cried three times. When he came out of the womb, he was still a baby and cried loudly next to his dying mother. The second time was from his father's mouth. Knowing that the fourth uncle who raised him was buried alive in the mausoleum, he cried all night again.

And less than a month since fourth uncle died, his father unfortunately fell into the river and washed away, leaving no body behind. The 14-year-old fat man cried the most for the third time. He walked home along the mountain road while crying. Since then, he has lived alone in the mountains.

"Hey, last month when I was hunting in the deep mountains, I met Liang Si, a tomb robber. He lured me into a gang to rob the tomb with sweet words, and promised that after he got the treasure, he could exchange some food for me. I went out with him to the city for the second time to buy tomb robbers. Utensil, I thought that after that time, I would never go out of the mountain for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to step out of the deep mountain for the third time now."

After Fatty and Guo Nuan worked together to kill the killer outside the tomb, Guo Nuan and Cui Ying finally found the post road to Chang'an under the guidance of his guide who is familiar with the remote mountainous area.

At this moment, the fat man looked back at the rolling mountains behind him with infinite affection, and muttered to himself. . .
