Cannon Fodder Strategy

"Kill more pigs and earn some money." Seeing that he was in a good mood, Lily added another sentence. Zhang Hongyi just thought that she wanted to live a good life with him. When he saw her saying this, he nodded hurriedly:

"When I get married and live a happy life, I will definitely work hard."

"I didn't want to drink porridge, so I cooked dry rice." Lily bit her chopsticks while Zhang Hongyi nodded repeatedly without putting the bowl down. Lily glanced at him and said, "There is no rice in the tank, and you don't want to be unable to support your wife, so you should quit drinking tomorrow and save the money."

"..."

She talked for a long time, but the words were buried here. Zhang Hongyi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. He lowered his head and took a big mouthful of rice, and thought for a while: "How about I go find some work tomorrow?" Do it.”

Killing pigs and selling meat can actually be considered a living. He has been a butcher for several years. If he could live a down-to-earth life, he would not end up in a shabby house with two rooms now. But firstly, he can play with his brothers, and secondly, Sometimes if there is any crisis among friends, he will throw away the money he has in his hand. He was cruel and rogue to others, and his reputation among the public was not good. Some ordinary people were afraid of him, but he really had nothing to say to his brothers.

When Lily asked him not to go out drinking again, he hesitated. He didn't want to break off contact with his former friends, but he thought Lily was right.

In the past, he was able to feed himself and the whole family was not hungry. Now that there are more people in the family, even if he is not worried about himself, he should think about Lily.

After thinking about it, he decided to find another job: "Anyway, I have all the strength, and the county is short of manpower. I will go there one day. I heard that Wang Laoxie'er in the Yamen can't stand it anymore, and Da Liuzi wants to recommend it. I'll go." What did he mean by 'Wang Laoxie'er' and 'Da Liuzi'? Lily could only guess out of thin air that these people should be his friends. He finished a bowl of rice and licked it His mouth was obviously not full yet, looking at the way Lily was still holding the bowl and chopsticks. Some couldn’t help it:

"Fast food."

He is tall and big, and he should have a big appetite. He used to work alone to support him, but now he has to support one more person for no reason. In addition, Lily was still sick after entering the mission during this period, and he ate again. A few pills. It obviously put pressure on him. Lily sighed, picked up the bowl and gave him half of the rice. He frowned as if he was about to get angry. Lily held the bowl and said, "I can't eat that much, but Mr. Wang Who is Xie'er? Who is Da Liuzi?"

Zhang Hongyi lowered his eyelids, and there was an indescribable look of forbearance on his big, dark, and fierce-looking face. His lips were trembling, as if he was a little dazed. Lily's action just now made him silent. After a while, he stood up, poured the rice in the bowl into Lily's bowl, stood up and walked towards the stove. Go, the sparks in the stove haven't been completely extinguished yet. He put a handful of firewood into the stove and plucked it twice. The fire ignited immediately, and there were still some rice cookers in the pot that had not been shoveled clean. He took a ladle of water, poured it in, and smashed the rice cookers with a shovel:

"I'll eat what I have! I'm a woman, with long hair and heavy thoughts. I'm strong. Eat less and I won't starve to death. You look like a kitten. You can't even hear your voice clearly when you speak." His face reflected The fire looked a little red, and the pot was boiling. The water filled the pot with the rice. Once it was boiling, the heat was rising. He shoveled it twice and added a large bowl full. Then he sat back on the table:

"Wang Laoxie'er is from the Yamen and is the executioner." After he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that Lily would not understand what executioner meant, he added: "He chops off people's heads."

There are many slaves and criminals in Yingzhou. In addition, there are many foreigners mixed in, and there are many people who commit crimes. Sometimes the army can even catch spies. In response to this situation, several local emperors in Yingzhou They were all beheading people on their own initiative, and there was no need to report it to the Criminal Department of the capital. It is precisely because of this that many people have died here, their lives are not valuable, and the people have long been numb.

The reputation of executioner is not good, and most people still use this title to curse people. In other places, this profession is usually passed down from generation to generation, but because of the special nature of Yingzhou, too many people died, and there were not enough executioners. Some people who don't do well can't beheaded even after three or five days of beheading. Zhang Hongyi is very strong and courageous, and he has a strong evil spirit. The Da Liuzi he mentioned are his friends in the market. , was working as a detective under the Yingzhou County Sifu at this time, so he had connections and just recommended Zhang Hongyi.

The name of this profession is unpleasant and scary. Many people think it damages one's moral character and are reluctant to do it. Zhang Hongyi is not so worried. He just doesn't like to be restrained by others. He doesn't like to eat or do public things. In the past, He kept pushing, but now that Lily asked him to make money, he became somewhat interested.

When Lily heard that he was going to be an executioner, she felt a little uncomfortable. This guy talked about killing people in a normal way. No wonder Lily Zhou in the plot was afraid of him.

"You..." Lily poked the rice with chopsticks, but Zhang Hongyi didn't seem to realize what he said: "Anyway, killing a pig is killing, and killing a person is killing. At least you can make a legitimate living, earn more money, and don't have to worry about starving. is you."

Killing pigs and killing people are two different concepts.

"If you want to make money, you can think of other ways. Why don't you look at it again." Lily was not afraid of killing people. She just heard him talk about beheading in such an understatement. After thinking about it, she persuaded him to endure it. Zhang Hongyi only regarded her as her. He was scared, and regretted that he shouldn't have said this in front of the timid little lady. He heard that she came from a wealthy family, and she probably didn't like hearing about these fights and killings. He thought about his humble background and being illiterate. For half a fight, he thought about how she had just cooked and made a fire, and how she had rushed half a bowl of rice for herself. After his parents died, no one had ever been so kind to him, even if he knew that Lily was actually raised by him, and he should have treated her so well. He was better, but Zhang Hongyi was still a little moved.

In fact, he was dispensable to this wife before. After all, she bought her for five cents, and she just had to drink less for a few days. When the people in the post house sold her, they almost sold her as a dead person. He just didn't want to throw the body away. He thought of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but he didn't expect to revive her. He originally thought that it would be good to carry on the family line from now on. This daughter-in-law would definitely be afraid of him, but he didn't expect that she looks timid and timid. Not a young man, dare to negotiate terms with him.

Zhang Hongyi is not a good person, and he has bullied good people in the market. He has also been involved in many fights, but he does not have a bad conscience or a rotten liver. If a woman doesn't like him, she just needs to tell him. , he may not force it, but now he is really hesitant. This little girl makes him a little reluctant to let go. With more people in the family, it becomes like a family. Someone cooks and cares about him. Not full, and thinking that he was not good enough for her, Zhang Hongyi held the half bowl of glutinous rice balls and suddenly felt that he couldn't eat anymore.

"Tell me, what is your name? The people in the post house said that your surname is Zhou, and you are named Zhou. Who else is there in your family? What do your parents and brothers usually call you?" Zhang Hongyi's heart was filled with confusion. A feeling of frustration rose from his heart, but he was used to refusing to admit defeat. Although he realized that he might not be worthy of this official lady, he was not discouraged. Instead, he began to ask Lily: "Don't talk about those things. ”

At this time, people only call women by their surnames and don't care about their first names. In the plot, the relationship between Zhang Hongyi and the original owner is not close, and she has never been asked about her name. In the early stage, Zhou Baihe was afraid of him like a tiger, but as time went by, he didn't care about her. Patience talked to Lily Zhou a lot, and the two of them could not exchange more than two sentences for the whole day. In the early days, everyone called Lily Zhou "Zhou's family". Later, those who interacted with Zhang Hongyi called her "Zhang's family" until Zhou Baihe's death. , Zhang Hongyi didn’t know her maiden name either, but for some reason Zhang Hongyi suddenly remembered to ask.

Seeing him throw away the bowl and chopsticks, Lily was a little surprised. Zhang Hongyi never took things to heart. He ate neatly and snored when he lay down. At this time, he didn't even eat. He just listened to his questions. After saying that, she also put down the bowls and chopsticks:

"My surname is Zhou, as you know. My name is Lily. The Zhou family comes from the ancestors. Because at that time, the ancestors learned the art of kingship and taught the princes meritorious service. He was granted a title and was hereditary for five generations." Lily told the original owner's life experience, Zhang Hongyi felt a little chilled when he heard about the king's art and the title. He grew up in Yingzhou, and the biggest interaction he had with was the high-ranking police officer in the Yamen, the county magistrate. He had never seen such a person before, and he didn't expect that a wife would be born in the palace.

No wonder she didn't want to marry him. Zhang Hongyi felt happy and sad at the same time. What he was happy about was that he had unintentionally bought back a criminal slave. The people in the post house only said that he was a criminal. He originally thought that at most he was an official's wife. She's just a daughter, how could she have imagined that she was actually a young lady.

Lily briefly talked about the situation at home. After Zhang Hongyi knew her origin, he couldn't listen to the rest of the words at all. He drank the rice cake paste in the bowl as if it was chewing wax, washed the pot himself, and watched Lily clean up the bowl. He was holding chopsticks and his face was gloomy and uncertain.

The two of them didn't speak again. Lily was worried about the original owner's wish, but Zhang Hongyi didn't know what he was thinking. When the two of them lay on the bed with their clothes on, he was obviously much more restrained.

Before dawn in the morning, he got up and went out to kill pigs and sell meat. He came back before Lily had finished a round of physical training.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Lily has figured out his general pattern. He usually comes back before noon when selling meat, but he came back so early today. There was still more than half a piece of pork in the basket he was carrying, and a pile of palm leaves on the other side. Throwing them around in a mess.

He opened the door. In the morning, the lily had been boiled in water and mint leaves soaked in it to cool down. It was not completely cool yet and was being handed to him to soothe his throat. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come)
