Chapter 2: Family Hate


The Zhou family is just an ordinary family in Xinhui County, and Zhou Shixiang clearly remembers that his father Zhou Shanyuan made a living by beating wooden barrels for people on weekdays, and he was honest.

Mother Ho was also a kind-hearted woman, believing in the Bodhisattva and not seeing the poor people in the world.

The old couple are typical residents of this era, and they can't be more ordinary.

Zhou Shixiang is the only son in the family, He gave birth to him when he was almost forty, and he is considered to be an old son, so Zhou Shanyuan and his wife love him very much, like many parents in later generations, they are really afraid that their son will be hot in summer, and they are afraid that their son will be cold in winter, so they can't wait to keep their son in their mouths and maintain it.

Zhou Shanyuan, who has been honest all his life, knows that he has suffered all his life, and he doesn't want his children and grandchildren to suffer like him, so he deliberately named his son a famous man, and insisted on asking his son to study, so that he could gain fame and become a master, and he would glorify the lintel of the old Zhou family in the future.

In order to support their son's education, the husband and wife cut down on food and clothing, and they couldn't wait to break a copper coin in half to make it, but what was delicious was eaten by their son, and they were reluctant to take a bite, which was really pitiful for the parents of the world.

Zhou Shixiang is also talented and intelligent, living up to the expectations of his parents, he actually succeeds in studying, and at the age of fourteen, he was admitted to the Xiucai fame, which attracted the admiration of the people of Xinhui County for a while.

At that time, Guangdong was still under the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Shixiang was planning to strike while the iron was hot and went to the provincial capital to participate in the township test the following year, but the Qing army in the north suddenly killed it, and the Ming Dynasty's township test could no longer be opened.

When Zhou Shixiang was eighteen years old, Zhou Shanyuan and He saw that their son was growing up, and his fame could not be tested for the time being, so they had the idea of hugging their grandson, and found someone to talk about his family affairs, the other party was the daughter of the Zhao family who opened a rice shop in the city, and the family was well-off and good-looking, if it weren't for Zhou Shixiang's fame of showing talent, he would have a great future in the future, how could the Zhao family not marry his daughter to the Zhou family, Bi Yi compared with the Zhao family, the Zhou family was really poor.

Zhou Shixiang was not satisfied with his father's family business at first, but after seeing Zhao, he liked it immediately, and within a few days, the little couple was like glue and kneeling, and they were so affectionate.

Within two years of marriage, the Zhao family lived up to the expectations of his aunt and added a big fat boy to the Zhou family.

With An'er, the young couple of the Zhou family are happy, and the old couple are even more happy, this day is full of harmony and joy, for them, the Ming Dynasty is good, the Qing Dynasty is good, this change of dynasty is too far away from them, and the people are living a good life.

There are old people, there are young people, and there is surplus food at home, isn't it the good life that the people have been looking forward to all their lives.

As long as the knife is not on his neck, as long as his own life can go on, who is full and can hold on to the knife and work hard for the old Zhu family.

Besides, although Zhou Shixiang was a talent in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty also recognized his fame, and the benefits he deserved were not bad, and even compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty government still attached great importance to them as meritorious scholars.

Nanming is already the sun curtain of the West Mountain, the territory is left in the southwest provinces, the discerning people can see that the Ming Dynasty is over, now it is a long breath, the Qing Dynasty is sitting on the country is an ironclad thing, so Zhou Shixiang did not plan to observe the festival for the Ming Dynasty, the days are like this, and one day the situation in Guangdong is completely stabilized, he plans to participate in the Qing Dynasty's township examination, so he has to take the test to come back, if he is innocent, can make him Zhou Shixiang high school Jinshi, then it is really smoke on the ancestral tomb.

As for what Hu Lu is not Hu Lu, Hua Yi is not Hua Yi, it is not his little show that should be considered, then the Ming Dynasty emperors have died a few, so many ministers and generals have died, and the territory is getting smaller and smaller.

Unexpectedly, people are not as good as the sky, no one expected that the Nanming Dynasty, who was almost finished, actually fought back to Guangdong in the tenth year of Shunzhi, and the following year the commander of the Ming army, Li Dingguo, personally led the army to attack, and surrounded Xinhui County at once, and this siege was a full eight months The Ming army besieged the city, the Qing army defended the city, the residents of Xinhui in the city did not worry much at first, the Ming army fought Guangdong once last year, but in the end it was not also in the Jiaqing to break the head and bleed back, although this time it was the old thief Li Dingguo personally attacked, but the Qing soldiers were strong and strong, he could not break the Xinhui City, and when the grain and grass were broken, it was not where to go back.

Unexpectedly, the nightmare of the residents of Xinhui came so quickly, and it should still be on the Qing soldiers who they thought they relied on, the grain and grass of the Ming army were not broken, but they were cut off first In order to defend the city, the Qing army generals ordered to loot all the grain in the city, the Qing soldiers looted from house to house, the residents had no surplus food, they could only dig rats and birds for a living, and then they fed on the duckweed in the river and the grass on the ground, just like that, the Qing army did not let go of the looting of the people in the city, and often broke into the homes of the residents to loot, if they saw that the people had stuttering in their homes, they immediately waved the butcher's knife.

The old man said, rather than a peaceful dog, not a person in a troubled world, in this troubled world, people are not as good as dogs After the Ming army besieged the city for four months, the Qing army began to prey on people, slaughtering the city's inhabitants for meat to eat.

In the early days, the Qing army just ate those ordinary people, and those who had meritorious fame were able to escape this catastrophe, but later, whether they had merit or fame, they all became edible meat in the eyes of the Qing army.

When the Ming army broke the siege and retreated, and Li Shuotai, the governor of Liangguang appointed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, led his troops into the city, he found that the Qing army in the city had surplus horses and soldiers, and the surplus grain was still enough for the Qing army to hold out for three months. but the bones of the people all over the land, but they do not know to whom to plead their grievances Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.

Exactly like the tragedy that was staged everywhere in Xinhui County, when the Qing soldiers rushed into Zhou's house to arrest Zhou Shixiang, his father Zhou Shanyuan stepped forward and was willing to die for his son, his mother He was willing to die for his husband, and his daughter-in-law Zhao was also willing to die for his aunt.

In the end, the Qing army killed Zhou Shanyuan and He, and then came over to kill Zhao three days later, and even An'er, who was in infancy, did not let go, and fell to death in front of Zhou Shixiang and took it away.

A family of five, only Zhou Shixiang is left, this is still his wife Zhao begged hard before he died, and the Qing soldiers let him go, otherwise, it would be difficult to escape death.

When his parents died tragically, Zhou Shixiang, who was cowardly by nature, was so frightened that he hid in the house and did not dare to come out, and when his wife and children died tragically, he was even more frightened and fainted.

It was really a joke made by God, and less than ten days after the death of Zhou Shixiang's parents, wife and children, the Ming army broke the siege and retreated.

Ten days, only ten days Zhou Shixiang, who completely carried the memories and emotions of the owner of the body, beat his chest and stomped on the ground, crying on his back.

He was ashamed of the owner of the body, and watched his parents, wife and children die, Zhou Shixiang, Zhou Shixiang, are you still a man, how can you survive by stealing it, why don't you die, why don't you fight with the Qing soldiers, why Your loved ones are all dead, what's the point of you living alone in this world The two new tombs in front of him that do not even have tombstones were piled up by the hands of Zhou Shixiang, a person of later generations, and there was nothing in the tombs, they were two authentic empty tombs.

The bones of parents, wives and children are long gone, and there is still a place of mourning in the world What is the use of having a grave or not having a grave?

The country is hated by the family, and Zhou Shixiang, the person of later generations, stood quietly in front of these two empty tombs, his heart was full of sourness and sorrow.

In his previous life, the society in which he lived belittled the Juche nation and advocated the beautification of alien rule, although he was a soldier in one of the only few cavalry companies in the Republic at that time, he had no choice but to be the silent majority while scolding.

But after the crossing, the death of his parents, wife and children made him no longer able to be the silent majority For the first time, the hatred of the country and the family is so bloody in front of me, and no one can be the shrinking turtle anymore, and no one can turn a blind eye to anyone, and they must stand up for revenge Zhou Shixiang, since you have no blood, then let me, a descendant, reshape your backbone for you In my mind, scenes flashed In the courtyard, the white-haired father looked at the wooden barrel with a hand-wrapped hand and smiled with satisfaction; Under the light, the elderly mother looked at the soles of her son's shoes with stitches and threads, and her eyes were full of kindness; Next to the bookcase, the wife looked at her husband who was reading with a finished supper, and her face was full of happiness; In his infancy, the son, who was only a few months old, looked at his father with a smile and a look full of curiosity.

Scenes flashed in his mind one after another, Zhou Shixiang only felt that his nose was uncomfortable, and he wanted to cry loudly, but he couldn't cry, there were no tears in his eyes.

Father, mother, Qing'er, An'er, I, Zhou Shixiang, will definitely avenge you, and I will definitely avenge you At some point, Zhou Shixiang turned around and left the two empty tombs.
