Han Yiming, the young master of the Han family, left Hanjiazhuang for the second time when he was eighteen years old. The first time he left Hanjiazhuang was when he was sixteen years old. That year, in the county exam, Mr. Han personally took his only son to the county to take the exam. Although Han Yiming has invited Mr. to enlighten his family since he was six years old, his qualifications are mediocre, Mr. Ren has guided him in every possible way and studied for a few years, but he can only help the villagers write letters to their families. After the county test, the name fell to Sun Mountain. Although he is not good at reading, he is very popular in Zhuangzhong, he has a kind temperament, and he is very kind to everyone in the township.

Master Han has some family resources, and specially named his son Yiming to the gentleman who knows how to write and hyphenation, and really expects him to be able to make a blockbuster one day and find an official and a half-position, and his ancestors are knowledgeable and faceless. But the county tried to fall first, so I had to dispel this idea.

In the blink of an eye, Mr. Han saw that his friends in Zhuangzhong, who were in the same year as his beloved son, had already married a family, and he was looking for people in the village who did not match his own door, so he specially entrusted his old friends from neighboring counties to find a family for him.

Not long after, an old friend sent someone to come, saying that he had found a good family in the county and invited Master Han to meet him. I heard that she is also the daughter of a squire over there, with a good appearance, sixteen years old, and the furniture portal also matches, and even the eight characters are very matched. When Master Han picked a good day, he asked his subordinates to prepare a sedan chair and take Han Yiming to a relative's house.

Although Hanjia Village is a medium-sized village, it is also the largest village within a radius of dozens of miles. There are more than 100 families living in Zhuangzi, and the edge of Zhuangzi is full of fertile fields, and at the end of the fields, you will arrive at the continuous bluestone mountains. The peaks of Bluestone Mountain are far from the tall and majestic, and there are no strange peaks and strange rocks. It's like an ordinary mountain range in the world, just a continuous stream of low peaks. Master Han has a wide heart and a fat body, and after riding on the horse for a short time, he is so tired that he is sore, and he has been bumpy in the carriage for another day, and when he sees the red sun slanting in the west, he beckons Steward Yu to find a place to spend the night.

Climbing a small hill, looking far away, there is still no human population. Coming down the hill, he saw that there were fields among the weeds on the side of the road, and Master Han couldn't help but say: "I remember that this was a small village with more than a dozen families. The fifth family in the village is surnamed Wang, we passed through here two years ago when Yiming County was tested, and we also lived in his house, how can this be the scene now?" Steward Yu said: "That's true, but this place is too small, and it can't open up a few acres of good land even if it's full." There are also those who abandon this place and look elsewhere. ”

It turned out that Master Han had planned to spend the night here this night, but at this time, seeing that the fields were deserted, and the former dozen or so families were gone, and even the houses where they lived had already collapsed and decayed, so they had to move forward again. After walking for another half an hour, it was already waning. Turning a col, a river about three feet wide came out of the col opposite. There is a simple single-plank bridge over the river, and there are a few simple wooden houses on the opposite bank.

When Master Han saw that there were chickens and dogs in front of the wooden house, firewood and grass were piled up against the wall, and grain was drying in the open space in front of the door, he said to Steward Yu: "You go and ask, there are a lot of benefits for others, let's rest here tonight." Steward Yu hesitated and said, "Master, this place is not close to the village in front of the village, and it is not close to the store in the back, and there is only this family, so I am afraid that something is wrong." Master Han said: "Qingshi Mountain is dozens of miles away, and there are only a few small villages along the road, which are still far away. There are chickens and dogs in front of this house, and there are piles of grain, firewood and grass, and it is also an ordinary farmer. If you don't rest here tonight, you'll have to sleep in the wilderness. Steward Yu thought it was good, so he went to the family's house to spend the night.

There was only one man in the family, and he was very cheerful and said, "There are no pedestrians in the world who are in a hurry with their houses." There are few people in my family, and I am a hunter, and everyone else has gone into the mountains to hunt, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a day or two. What reward is not rewarded, if you don't dislike it, just stay. He added: "When I was hunting two days ago, I was bitten on the leg by a wolf, and it was difficult to move, so I couldn't go over to greet me, so I could only wait here." If you don't hurt this leg, you will go into the mountains with your family today, and you will be sure to eat this closed door. Butler Yu talked to him, but he looked closely, and saw that he was holding a stick, with a thick cloth belt wrapped around his legs, and his body was crooked when he walked. There was no one else in the house, and I was a little apprehensive in my heart. But this time, because of the chariots, horses, and gifts, he also brought six or seven servants. He is just one person, that is, he has bad intentions, and he has many people, so he will not suffer. In the end, it is better than sleeping in the wilderness, and if you encounter wolves, although these farmers are strong, it will not help. After thinking about the pros and cons for a while, he went over to pick up the Han family's father and son and the carriage and horses. Cleaning the house and arranging dinner. Steward Yu was very careful, and even doubled his attention to getting food from others, and watched from the side.

Master Han has always been less tired, and soon after dinner, he fell asleep. Although Han Yiming rarely went out and was quite excited, it was also very hard to bump on horseback, and he fell asleep deeply soon after. The housekeeper next door was afraid to fall asleep, and he supported it for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he slowly closed his eyelids.

He was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard some slight noises outside the door, and woke up in shock, only to hear the sound of footsteps and enter the hall. Steward Yu was always a little worried, so he quietly got up, touched the door, and looked out along the crack in the door. I saw more than a dozen people coming in the hall, all dressed in cloth and linen shoes, and burly. The leader said in a rough voice, and said to the man who was sitting in the hall and injured his leg: "Brother Hu, how can there be so many carriages and horses outside the door?" Brother Hu said: "There are guests who come to spend the night, and they are the carriages and horses of the guests." ”

The man with a rough voice immediately lowered his voice and said, "Can it be?" Brother Hu said, "No." I didn't know when you would come back, I hurt my leg again, and the other party had ** person, so I didn't dare to move lightly. But now that you're back, we might as well ......."

Steward Yu was taken aback, and cold sweat broke out on his back. The father and son of the Han family have always been pampered, and they have no power to restrain chickens, and six or seven servants are only strong and strong, and they have no superior ability. He was careful all the way, but unexpectedly he still fell into the den of thieves. At this time, Fang knew why he was always restless, this family did not see a woman, it was really a little strange, no matter what kind of family it was, there should be a woman in the house. It's just that it's too late to figure it out at this time. Seeing that they all went out with knives and sticks, they came this way, and they were sweating all over their heads behind the door, but there was nothing they could do.

The father and son of the Han family were tired for a day and slept well all night. When I woke up in the morning, it was already two poles of the sun. The two of them put on their clothes, shoes and socks, but they didn't see Steward Yu knocking on the door, Master Han said: "I think I was tired yesterday, and I can't get up today." He shouted twice, and the door of the house was pushed open with a "clang", and several big men broke in viciously. They were all carrying knives and sticks, and as soon as they entered the house, a man rushed forward and grabbed Master Han and said, "What is your name?"

Master Han was startled at first, but he was not stupid, and after a while, he came to his senses and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have something to say, if you want us to bring the property with us, just take it." It's just that he has never seen this formation, and his voice can't help but tremble a little. The man said, "What do you have with you? Where do you have anything with you?" I tell you, when you enter this gate, you will have our surname. Master Han fixed his mind and said, "Yes, yes, they are all strong men." The man said, "You have sent it to the door yourself, and I am no wonder." "Look them up and down.

Han Yiming had seen this formation, and he trembled with fright. The man grabbed Master Han and said, "You are from Hanjiazhuang thirty miles away? He looked Master Han up and down again, and said, "If you are dressed like this, your family must be a little rich." ”

Hearing him ask like this, Master Han said boldly: "Heroes, if you let us go back and give everything you have, you will not be stingy." The man looked at the people who had come in with him, and said with a smile, "Well, you have made this wish, and I will fulfill it." Come, you and I, let's go out and talk. Your only son is here, and I'm not afraid that you'll run away. His eyes swept towards Han Yiming, and he stretched out his hand to pull Master Han and walked out. Han Yiming was about to follow, but was slapped on the face by an unkempt man with the back of a knife, pressed him on the bed, where could he still follow, sat on the bed, and watched his father being pulled out.
