Zhang Fan is the young master of the Zhang family. When he was young, he often heard his father tell him his stories. His father said that when he was young, he was thanks to the help of the villagers, so he was today. Therefore, he asked Zhang Fan not to do anything to sorry to the villagers at any time.
Zhang Fan's father was 9 years old and died of an accident while his parents were out. Only two brothers and sisters were left at home. In order to take care of his sister, Zhang Fan's father had to take on the family and take on the responsibility of taking care of his sister.
However, after all, he is just a child under ten years old. With a young sister, he may not even be able to support himself. Others say he has a younger sister.
At this time, the whole village’s elders and villagers came and extended a helping hand. Every household took turns to deliver food and food to their siblings the next day. The people in the village were unwilling to watch them and starved to death, so they all helped as much as they could.
In this way, Zhang Fan's father and his aunt were eating the food of the whole village and gradually grew up. Zhang Fan's father bid farewell to the whole village when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. He wanted to go out to learn from his masters and learn from his fellow villagers, and to earn money and repay his fellow villagers.
Of course, the villagers supported him, but were worried that he would suffer alone outside, so before she left, the villagers prepared a lot of food for him and raised some money for him. In this way, after Zhang Fan's father entrusted his sister to the villagers, he embarked on the road of learning from his master with the money and hope given by the villagers.
Zhang Fan's father also had a strange adventure that year. He met a strange man halfway through. This man was a Feng Shui master , and he also understood the art of observing the sky. Seeing Zhang Fan's father being smart and sensible, this Feng Shui master became interested in accepting disciples. He came out to learn skills. Since someone liked him, Zhang Fan's father had no reason to disagree.
Zhang Fan's father followed this master to learn skills until 10 years later, when he achieved some success in his studies. Because he was very concerned about his sister and fellow villagers in his hometown, he could only say goodbye to his master with tears and return to his hometown.
After Zhang Fan's father returned from his studies, he relied on his own skills to help a county magistrate successfully take the position of prefect. So when the prefect was happy, he rewarded him with hundreds of taels of -patterned silver .
Zhang Fan's father returned to the village with these silver, and bought all the silver into land and distributed them equally to all the people in the village. He is repaying the whole village in his own way and raising their brothers and sisters. With these lands, the whole village no longer has to worry about eating.
It's like this. Decades later, Zhang Fan's father suddenly died of illness. Before he passed away, he called Zhang Fan to his side and told him that he had observed the celestial phenomena every night in recent times. He found that in the next three years, severe droughts would occur every year. Therefore, he asked Zhang Fan to tell the villagers that he must save his own food and cannot sell it anymore, otherwise something big will happen.
That's it. After his father died, Zhang Fan began to inform him from door to door according to his father's instructions. He told the villagers that there would be severe droughts in the next few years, so that they would all keep their food at home and not sell it anymore, otherwise, they would probably go hungry at that time.
But the whole village didn't listen to his words at all. They all said that he was a witch that confusing the public. After so many years, wasn't that year a good year? Didn’t they sell all the remaining food after leaving only a little food that year? Besides, where can the money come from if you don’t sell food?
The villagers couldn't listen to their words, and Zhang Fan had no choice but to keep in mind his father's last words. He expanded his granary several times. Not only did he save all his food, but he also purchased a large amount of food from outside.
By the second year, there was indeed a severe drought, but it was not particularly serious, and there was still a little harvest in the field.Although it is not as much as in previous years and can be sold for a lot of money, it is basically possible to eat it.
Zhang Fan knew that what his father said worked, so he began to persuade the villagers to save food and save everything they could. However, the villagers still don’t listen. They think that the severe drought in the past few years is just an accident, so how can this happen every year?
Zhang Fan walked around the village twice in a row. No one listened to him even though he wrinkled his mouth. In the end, he gave up and stopped persuading him. He could only do his best to leave his fate. All he could do was to continue to stockpile food.
Another year has passed, and this year it still has a severe drought, and the drought has become even worse. The crops in the fields are basically unrealized. At this time, the villagers still did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and they still do their own way. In their words, this year is just bad luck, and maybe there will be a good harvest next year. Without food, everyone started digging wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. If they didn't work, they would go up the mountain to get some prey to eat. Although they were often hungry, they could still live.
By the third year, this drought and famine came at the same time. Not only did they have severe drought here, but it can be said that there were severe drought weather in most parts of the country, and all the land was basically unavailable.
At this time, the villagers had no more food to eat, and they had already eaten up all the food, wild vegetables? The entire mountain was almost dug by them, so how could there be wild vegetables? Besides, the drought is already so serious, and wild vegetables cannot grow! In this way, the whole village started to have a hungry pattern, but once this person became anxious, he would have a trick.
Zhang Fan of course he couldn't watch the whole village starving to death, so he would take out some food from time to time and distribute it to the villagers. However, the food is not much, so the villagers are not full at all.
This does not mean that Zhang Fan is reluctant to let go of his own food. He has hoarded food for the past few years just to today and to help the villagers, because he knows that the ancestors of these people also helped his father at the time, which is also his father's last words before his death.
mainly because he stocks up so much food. If he wants the whole village to persist for a year, he must do this and control it, otherwise it will die. If people still eat it like before, the food in his home will not last for a year. Besides, he will still have to keep the seeds of the year.
The villagers didn't care about this, so they got together to discuss. They all felt that Zhang Fan's family must have a lot of food. This kid only gave them a little at a time. This is a sign of lack of conscience. At the beginning, his father helped his father a lot. Now that he has nothing to eat, Zhang Fan must take out his food and share it with them.
That's it. Someone in the village quickly suggested that since Zhang Fan didn't give it to us, they could rob it. Anyway, he was unkind first.
Unexpectedly, this person's proposal was soon approved by most people in the village. In this way, a group of people came to Zhang Fan's home in a mighty manner and prepared to grab food.
At this time, Zhang Fan was setting up a few big pots at home and preparing to cook porridge and share it with the villagers. He himself knew that the villagers had never had much full meal during this period. So, today he decided to make more porridge and give it to the villagers so that everyone can eat.
When the villagers broke into his house, they saw the situation in front of them and did not listen to Zhang Fan's explanation at all. Not only did they not be grateful to Zhang Fan, they also said that Zhang Fan did these hypocritical things just to please them and not to steal their own food.
A group of people did not say anything. They rushed forward and opened the granary of Zhang Fan's family. Zhang Fan and his family were about to come forward to stop him, but at this time, a few villagers came out and tied up all of his family of more than a dozen people.
After robbing the food, the villagers did not rush to leave because Zhang Fan and his family had not dealt with it. They had to discuss a solution to deal with the family. After all, this matter cannot be spread, otherwise each of them would not be able to escape. If someone sued the county government, they would not be able to take it.
Finally, after discussion, the villagers unanimously decided that Zhang Fan and his family could be killed. Anyway, as long as the villagers didn't say it, no one would know. Even if the government really knew it in the future and investigated, we can say that their family had all moved away. Anyway, there was no evidence to die, and no one could do anything to them.
It’s like this. They ignored Zhang Fan’s plea, and Zhang Fan’s family of more than a dozen people were all killed by the villagers. After killing the person, they buried the body of their family in the back mountain.
The villagers who had food all survived this drought smoothly, and no one cared about the death of Zhang Fan's family. Do these people have a lot of heart? Or are they desperate to survive?
I don’t know when this year started, but a plague suddenly occurred in the village. This unknown plague spreads very quickly, and as long as it is infected, it will die of fever. This process only takes two short days. In just over 10 days, 80% of the people in the village were infected with the plague.
After the government learned about this, it directly sealed the village, and no one could enter or leave. They just care about the closure of the village. As for the people in the village, they don’t care about it. They can only fend for themselves. Anyway, they can’t come out. They didn’t just set a fire and burn the village, which was already kind.
A month later, basically all the people in the village died. Only 7 people were left. These 7 people were not infected with the plague and they survived smoothly.
After the plague was controlled, the government withdrew the officers and soldiers. As for the remaining 7 people in the village, they no longer asked about it. The bodies of the dead were directly burned by them with a fire.
After a while, a burst of news came out, and it was said that all the dead people in this village were retribution. They killed more than a dozen people in Zhang Fan's family in order to steal food. This plague was brought by Zhang Fan's soul, and he brought his family to take revenge. The news of
of course came from the mouths of the seven people in the village. In fact, this is also the real feeling of the 7 survivors, because only they themselves will know certain things.
All the people who participated in the robbery of food died in this plague. The seven of them survived because the seven of them did not participate in the robbery of food at that time, so they survived.
People's hearts are really something that is difficult to figure out. Zhang Fan, who has been kind all his life, was eventually wiped out by the villagers.
Good people may not be rewarded, but such a family massacre should not happen to a kind-hearted person.
