Pig Killer

Chapter 314

Shen Hui'e climbed to the top of the tree, and looked at the tents that looked like stars in the sky from afar. She muttered to herself, "What am I touching?" She clenched her fists and said, "I have to go see who they are." She jumped down and disappeared into the thick night.

Shen Hui'e was lying in the hay near the tent, looking at the patrolling soldiers. The uniforms they wore must be those of government troops!

There is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Everyone is in high spirits and there is not a single bit of slackness in the group.

This general is very strict in disciplining his troops. This is a real army, Shen Hui'e said in admiration.

The camp was quiet in the middle of the night. There was no noisy sound. It was very quiet.

Shen Hui'e crouched down and walked around the camp. Oh my god, this camp is big. How many people are there? Looking at the big words written on the top of the city gate, it really is located in the Central Plains.

The city is surrounded on all sides in the plains, just like an iron barrel. How can we find out?

Shen Hui'e's dark eyes turned slightly, a plan came to her mind, and she retreated first.

When it was daybreak, Shen Hui'e caught seven or eight rabbits, carried them on a stick, and walked towards the nearest village.

Shen Hui'e stood on the ridge of the field, looking at the farmers doing spring sowing. The fields were really good. She bent down, grabbed a handful of loess and squeezed it.

"what are you doing?"

"Oh! Nothing? Look at this field. It doesn't need watering. There is enough moisture. Plant the seeds and they will sprout soon." Shen Hui'e looked up at the old man in front of her and threw away the yellow soil in his hand.

"It just rained." The old man looked at her with a smile on his face and said, "This way we don't have to water the fields."

"Spring rain is as precious as oil." Shen Hui'e said with a smile, "I see that the wheat seedlings are growing really well."

"Yes! Yes! There was a lot of snow last year." The old man said with a smile on his face, "From your accent, you don't sound like you are from my hometown."

She was really alert. Shen Hui'e's black eyes flashed and she smiled and said, "I'm from the mountain." She turned slightly and said, "I'm lucky. I caught a nest of rabbits and wanted to sell them in the city for a good price."

"You are so good at it!" said the old man as he looked at the fat rabbit.

"It was luck, luck, I dug the rabbit hole." Shen Hui'e said with a gentle smile, "It was the rabbit hole that the children blocked."

"Where are the men at home?" the old man asked, looking at him with his dark eyes, "Why would you, a woman, be allowed to catch rabbits?"

"There are wars everywhere, and I don't know where the men were captured." Shen Hui'e sighed, "Just like here in the field, I see only the elderly, the weak, women and children."

The old man put his index finger to his lips and said, "Shh... don't talk about this."

"Oh!" Shen Hui'e responded hurriedly, "Thank you for the reminder, father-in-law."

"Where are you going to sell this rabbit?" the old man asked her gently.

"Of course we go to the city. The bigger the city, the higher the price we can sell it for." Shen Hui'e said happily.

"Don't go to Handan ahead." The old man said with horror on his face.

"Why?" Shen Hui'e looked at him pretending to be ignorant.

"Handan City is surrounded by government troops. We ordinary people can't even get close to it, let alone sell things." The old man said in a low voice.

"Thank you so much for reminding me." Shen Hui'e clasped her hands together and bowed, "I have been in the mountains for a whole winter and I really didn't know."

"Who are the ones being surrounded? Why haven't they been able to take them down in such a long time?" Shen Hui'e looked at him curiously and asked.

"The rebels." The old man sighed, "They have been besieged for a whole winter. No matter how many attacks the government troops launched, they still couldn't take it down." He pointed a finger and said, "One hundred thousand! That city is really tough."

"So many people?" Shen Hui'e gasped.

"Yes!" the old man said with a frightened face, "Don't get close to her." Looking at the rabbit behind her, he said, "Don't go there, the rabbit will be gone if you go there."

"Gone?" Shen Hui'e blinked. This was not what she thought!

"I took it away from you. There's not a single copper left." The old man said with a pale face, "You still dare to ask the general for money. It's good that you don't get beaten."

"Are they so domineering?" Shen Hui'e said angrily with an ugly look on her face.

"He's a military commander! He took our things and it's our honor to see him take a liking to us. How dare we complain?" The old man waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Let's go! Don't let them see us."

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Shen Hui'e looked at him gratefully and said.

Shen Hui'e turned around and left, only to hear the hurried sound of horse hooves and crying voices behind her, "No! My seedlings, my seedlings."

"Haha..." The arrogant laughter was unbridled.

Shen Hui'e turned around and looked over, and was almost furious, "Damn it!" Five soldiers rode their horses and trampled on the seedlings.

"Stop, stop, don't step on the seedlings anymore."

"Please!" The old men and women working in the fields ran over, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging the officers and soldiers to let their horses go.

"Haha... look at them, they are really like that. They kneel down to us just for a few seedlings."

"Ha ha……"

The horse under his crotch treaded the seedlings even harder and laughed even louder.

The people present dared to be angry but not to speak out, and did not dare to step forward to stop it.

Faced with such domineering officers and soldiers, the farmers had no choice but to kneel on the ground, shedding tears as they replanted the seedlings into the soil, regardless of whether they could survive or not.

"Haha... Look, they're still crying! It's like their dad died."

"You like to plant, right? This general will let you plant as much as you want."

He rode his horse hard and trampled the wheat seedlings, until they were crushed into pieces by the mud. "Haha..."

"This is really too much." Shen Hui'e said with a grim face as she looked at the unscrupulous officers and soldiers.

"What are you doing?" The old man stopped her and said, "Little woman, don't dare to go forward! They will leave when they have stepped on them enough. If you go forward, don't get yourself involved. They are unreasonable."

"I want to give this rabbit to the military commander as a token of my gratitude." Shen Hui'e shook the rabbit on her back and said, "I hope they will show some mercy."

"I'll go!" the old man volunteered. "It's not safe to be in a woman's house."

"What about you? This guy doesn't look easy to deal with." Shen Hui'e looked at him worriedly.

"Not only is he difficult to deal with, he's simply a living devil!" The old man said with a smile on his face, "It's okay! At most you'll get two whips." He added nonchalantly, "You're wearing thick clothes." He stretched out his hand and pulled the rabbit hanging on her wooden stick down, then strode towards the officers and soldiers on horseback.

The old man stood on the edge of the field holding a rabbit and shaking it, saying, "General, General, I am lucky. I dug out a nest of rabbits, but I didn't dare to enjoy them myself, so I came here to honor you." He looked at the officers and soldiers eagerly, with a flattering look on his face.

"Wow!" He pulled the reins tighter, and the horse quieted down. "It's not uncommon to catch such a fat rabbit in this spring." The horse came over and looked at him proudly. "He's quite sensible."
