In the distance, a sound like thunder came out, and then, an old lady was seen holding a hammer, chasing the thin figure in front of her.
"Taibai Po, didn't I just steal one of your chickens? There's no need to do this!"
The thin figure was running wildly, holding a roast chicken in his right hand, a roast duck in his left hand, and a lamb on his back. Not only that, he also had various meats tied around his waist.
"Haha, it's delicious, it's really delicious. I haven't had such a satisfying meal in a long time."
His mouth was full of oil, and he was eating while running. There were so many things on him, but they didn't affect his speed. They were not a burden to him at all.
"Xiao Zhuzhu, stop for me and give me back the lamb that I stole!" A woman in her thirties suddenly came out of the alley with a kitchen knife in her hand.
"Little bastard, how dare you steal the fire pork that I finally brought from the mountains? I'm going to kill you."
A bearded man came toward him holding a shovel.
"Fire pork?"
He looked at his hands and said curiously: "No."
Then he looked for another way to run, but before he could find a new way, several more sounds came out.
"Zhou Zhu, give me back the dog meat, which I plan to feed to my father, you devil!"
"Ah, my God, my phoenix meat! Zhou Zhu, I can't spare you!"
…
Various voices came from all directions in the mountain village, all denouncing this young man named Zhou Zhu.
"My dear mother, I never stole so many things from you. I just took a few things from your house. There is no need for this."
The boy was running and wondering. At this time, another boy blocked his way with a wooden stick.
When Zhou Zhu saw the young man in front of him, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Zai Zai, you came just in time. I have something to ask you."
"Zai Zai, I really don't understand. You said it was reasonable for Mrs. Taibai to chase me. After all, I took one of her chickens. But what kind of trouble are Big Beard, Xiaoyan, Aunt Liu, and the others going to make?
What kind of fire pork, phoenix meat... tell me, how could I take their meat?" Zhou Zhu said in confusion.
Zaizai pointed at Zhou Zhu's waist and said, "Brother Zhu, it's on your waist."
Zhou Zhu quickly looked at what was tied around his waist, understood instantly, and said awkwardly: "Ah... this... I don't know, you also know, I was very hungry, so I took some food by the way, who knew
These are the ones.”
"Okay, Zai Zai, now I'm in trouble, you have to help me stop them."
After saying that, he turned around and left, but Zaizai blocked his way again.
"What? Zai Zai, you are not going to betray me. Fortunately, I have been helping you like this and treating you as a brother. I understand now. Forget it, if you don't help me, then get out of my way."
Unexpectedly, Zaizai stood motionless in front of him holding the wooden stick and refused to give in.
At this moment, the voices criticizing him were getting closer and closer, and he knew that it would be very bad if he was caught.
"No, I have to get rid of this kid quickly and fill my stomach first."
"Brother Zhu, please stop running. I know what you are thinking. You are thinking about how to get rid of me. This time, you better stop thinking about it. Even if you get rid of me, you still can't escape today."
Zhou Zhu's heart skipped a beat. He knew something was wrong. Over the years, if he hadn't stolen from one family or messed around with that family, he would have died long ago.
However, as he grows older, he eats better and better, so now no family can feed him, and he can only steal food everywhere.
"Zai Zai, what happened? Am I not the same as before? Why is it so serious this time?" Zhou Zhu said with a smile: "Oh, I know, you must want to eat, so you lied to me, come on, this is
Aunt Liu's little lamb, I stole it just for you, so don't be polite to me."
"Go away!" Zaizai knocked down the lamb handed over by Zhou Zhu and said, "Brother Zhu, I can't help you this time, because you are going to be kicked out of the village!"
"What?"
When Zhou Zhu heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Having lived in this village since he was a child, he has already had feelings for him. Although they would scold him every time he stole their food, they would never drive him away. But this time, why?
At this time, people from the entire village came from all directions and surrounded Zhou Zhu in the central yang. An old man lined up, white-haired and skinny.
When Zhou Zhu saw this person, he smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, you are here. Don't be angry. I will give them back the things I stole."
"Xiaoyan, take it, I haven't eaten any of your dog meat."
"Taibai Po, hey, this is your roast chicken, but that's all it's left now. Don't worry, I'll give you a big one next time."
"Big Beard, what kind of fire pork do you have, take it!"
"Aunt Liu, your lamb; Uncle Heizi, your phoenix meat."
Zhou Zhu returned all the things he took to them, but no one picked them up.
"Xiao Zhuzhu, take these things. You are hungry too, so just eat first." Taishu Wu said.
Why doesn't Zhou Zhu understand this? Combined with what Zaizai said just now, he knows that this is the last meal in this village.
"Uncle Wu, please don't drive me away. I will never steal again. I will listen to you from now on. I will do whatever you say. Just don't drive me away!"
Uncle Wu looked at the surrounding villagers and said, "I will handle this matter. You go back first."
At this time, Xiaoyan came over with the dog meat and said, "Brother Zhu, take this... take it." Then she ran away.
"Brother, take this, the fire pork will satisfy your hunger!" The bearded man said domineeringly.
"Zhuzi, this is phoenix meat..." Uncle Heizi patted his shoulder and said.
At this time, the dispersed villagers gave various foods to Zhou Zhu.
"Okay, you eat first, and then come to my house when you are full!" Taishu Wu said.
Late at night, a skinny boy, only sixteen years old, came to Uncle Wu's house carrying large and small bags.
An old and kind voice rang: "Xiao Zhuzhu, you are here, come in."
Zhou Zhu already knew what was going to happen, but he really couldn't bear it. Looking at Taishu Wu's old body, he felt very sad. If it weren't for Taishu Wu, he wouldn't be alive today. It can be said that it was Taishu Wu who raised him.
Dacheng ren.
Zhou Zhu knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle Wu, it's my fault. I didn't know it would turn out like this, causing everyone to hate me so much."
"Xiao Zhuzhu, do you really think everyone hates you?" Uncle Wu asked: "You are wrong. In fact, everyone loves you. Although everyone talks about you, they still love you.
"Since you got this disease, everyone loves you even more, so don't blame everyone."
Zhou Zhu said in a low voice: "I know, I don't blame everyone. Sooner or later, my disease will drag everyone down, and eventually everyone will have no food to eat. Especially after I turned sixteen, I had to eat a lot of food every day."
Food is the only way to not be hungry, otherwise I will be exhausted. If I continue to live like this, the final result will be that the whole village will starve to death!"
Uncle Wu felt extremely distressed after listening to Zhou Zhu's words. He held Zhou Zhu's head and said, "My poor child!"
In the silent night, an old man and a young man were saying goodbye.
After a long time, Zhou Zhu said: "Uncle Wu, thank you. After I leave, you must take care of yourself. If there is still a future, I will definitely repay you."
Get up and prepare to leave.
"Wait a minute, Xiaozhu, where are you going?"
"I have no idea……"
"In this way, we will recruit troops in Dashan Town in three days. You can go to the army, where your livelihood problem will be solved." Taishu Wu suddenly said.
"Army? Soldier?"
"That's right, only the army can keep you fed. Besides, you are strong and you will definitely be able to stand out in the army. Then you won't have to worry about your livelihood."
"Can I do it? Can the army really manage enough? I'm afraid the army won't want me by then."
"Xiao Zhuzhu, you have to believe in yourself. As long as you join the army, you will have a chance to cure your strange disease and even find out the mystery of your life experience. If you don't go, there will be nothing?"
Zhou Zhu looked at Uncle Wu. He knew that Uncle Wu was doing it for his own good, but now their country Chen was at war with their country Shen. They were completely at a disadvantage and had conquered many cities. If he went to join the army, he would inevitably not be able to go to the battlefield.
Sometimes your life may be at risk.
Uncle Wu looked at Zhou Zhu. He also knew the current national situation, but there was no way. Only in this way could Zhou Zhu be saved and allowed to live. Maybe he would be sent to the battlefield, but who could know whether he would live or die?
Moreover, he believed that Zhou Zhu would never die, although he didn't know why, maybe it was intuition.
"Little Zhuzi, it is our men's mission to stand upright and serve the country. If we don't have this courage, then how can we have the face to live in this world!" Uncle Wu said seriously: "If the country does not exist, how can we have a homeland?
, don’t talk about you then, even our village will be destroyed.”
"No, if it is so serious, the imperial court will not be so fragile!" Zhou Zhu said in disbelief.
"If all the men in our Chen Kingdom were like you, don't say this, even more cruel things will happen!" Taishu Wu said: "You remember, after you join the army, the more difficult the time, the closest to success.
time. If there is a chance, we must drive out the two countries Zishen."
When Taishu Wu said this, he was filled with righteous indignation. Zhou Zhu secretly said: "I didn't expect that Taishu Wu would be so patriotic. However, I just want to live now. As long as I can live, I can think about those things. However, since this army can
Feed me, so what if I try it."
"Uncle Wu, don't worry, I promise you." Zhou Zhu didn't want to disobey him. Although he said this in his mouth, he didn't think so in his heart.
"By the way, Xiaozhu, if you want to cure your illness, I think a fortune teller might be able to do it." Taishu Wu said, and then walked towards the back room.
"A fortune teller? Uncle Wu, what is a fortune teller?" Zhou Zhu asked. This was the first time he had heard of this term.
"Don't ask me what a fortune teller is? I don't know either, but I believe you will know it in the future." At this time, Uncle Wu came out with something in his hand.
"Xiao Zhuzhu, this is what I saw next to you when I found you. Now that you have grown up, it is time to give this to you. Maybe this thing can help you find the mystery of your life experience."
"This is?" Zhou Zhu held this thing and asked curiously: "Why is it a stone?"
"That's not a stone, it's a stone tablet!" Taishu Wu muttered.
"Stone tablet?"
