Chapter 41: Planning and Faithfulness

The Hu people called, but it wasn't the worst. The worst thing is that King Guan is reversed.

The northwestern frontier was under the rule of King Guan, and because of its barrenness, the expropriation was more serious.

"Today I came to conscript the army again to ask for food. Li Cunfu said with a sad face after returning home.

There is only one single seedling in the family, Li Jingming, and the Wang family does not let him join the army. But if he doesn't go, only Li Cunfu will go.

The family was sad and gloomy because of this.

Guan Wang Shangwu, in his jurisdiction, the scholars do not have much status, so Li Cuncai's family also has to be born.

The two families sat together because of this.

Li Cuncai is going to die of sorrow.

Li Wenhou has not yet married a wife. He's nineteen years old, not too big, but not too small.

Seeing the two families sitting together in harmony, Li Mingcian thought to himself: Why don't you say that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. Since the two families have lived a better life, the relationship has improved unprecedentedly.

Li Zheng also came, he sat on the throne and drank tea in small sips, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I don't think this day can go on like this, we have to go." ”

"Let's go?" Old Man Li was a little depressed, "Where can I go?"

Yes, the northwest was all grabbed by King Guan. There's really nowhere to go.

Li Zheng shook the tea in a circle, and his eyes looked around: "My son, I don't want them to go to the battlefield, especially not to harm their own people." ”

Li Mingcian and Zhang Cuicui were working in the room next to them, and the two listened to the chat outside while chatting with each other.

Zhang Cuicui's bun is tight and meticulous. Under the smooth forehead, the eyebrows are almost tangled together.

Li Mingcian flipped through the ropes flexibly, and when she saw that Zhang Cuicui was so troubled, she put down the work in her hand.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Cuicui sighed heavily: "If the official family forcibly recruits soldiers, only your brother can go to our family." Dad is not in good health, and Gua'er is only four years old. ”

Li Mingcian took scissors to cut the thread in his hand without raising his head. But the brain turned to the volcano.

"Sister-in-law, I think there's a place to go. Li Mingcian thought of Shenxi Bridge in his heart, and didn't know if he would go together.

Zhang Cuicui probed close to Li Mingciao: "Where?"

Li Mingcian will live: "Clamp the volcano." When the time comes, call your father too, plus our family, Lizheng's family, and uncle's family, and hide in it together. ”

"Huh, can this work?" Zhang Cuicui wondered, "I don't have anything to eat, drink, or drink, and I don't have a place ......to live."

Li Mingcian stretched out his hand to support the kang and jumped down: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about this." I went to Shenxi Bridge to ask him what he was going to do. ”

Zhang Cuicui was in distress about the lawsuit, and seeing that Li Mingcian didn't give her a solution, she hurriedly grabbed her: "Sanya, you have to tell your sister-in-law about this." ”

Li Mingcian had no choice but to sit back again: "Sister-in-law, do you think about it, now that the fight is going on, the tyrannical extortion may even take people's lives." If you go to the mountains, take what you can bring with you at home and find a decent cave. The furnishings should be about the same as the house.

At that time, we will reclaim the wasteland and farm for a while, and when we settle down a little, we will flee to the Guannai. ”

Almost finished speaking, Li Mingcian jumped off the kang and left. When he left, he left a sentence: "Keeping your life is the most important thing, isn't it?"

Zhang Cuicui sat on the kang and recalled this sentence for a while, and decisively packed up her burden and asked Li Jingming to send her back to her parents' house.

Shen Xiqiao is practicing archery at home at this time. When Li Mingcian entered the door, Mama Wang was cleaning up the yard.

"Sanya is here. Mama Wang greeted.

"Mama Wang. Li Mingcian called her, "Is Childe here?"

"Here, practice martial arts in the backyard. ”

Li Mingcian was familiar with the way to the backyard, and then leaned against the door to watch the Shenxi Bridge shoot arrows, hitting the red heart.

"Good. Li Mingcian shouted hello for Shenxi Bridge.

Shen Xiqiao wiped the sweat on his head: "Singing cicadas." ”

Li Mingcian was dressed in gray clothes and trousers, her hair was simply tied on the top of her head, her face was clear, and her eyes were bright.

"Shen Xiqiao, I have something to tell you. ”

Shen Xiqiao wiped his sweat with a handkerchief: "What's the matter?"

Li Mingcian took the lead and walked in front: "Let's go, let's go to your study and say." ”

Banyue is now taking care of Shen Xiqiao's shop in Qishan County, and there are only him and Mama Wang at home.

Shen Xiqiao didn't change his clothes, and sat directly on the chair: "Sit." ”

Li Mingcian took a few dried fruits and threw them into his mouth: "We plan to take refuge, are you going?"

"Refuge?" Shen Xiqiao wondered, "Where are you going, why are you taking refuge?"

Li Mingcian chewed the plum in his mouth: "The Hu people have come over, King Guan has rebelled, and now he is conscripting troops on a large scale." Such an environment is really not suitable for life. ”

Shen Xiqiao knew about this, but he didn't want to escape, but wanted to join the army.

Shen Xiqiao found his own description of the volcanic terrain and gave it to Li Mingchan. Holding the parchment, his heart tightened. At the beginning, my brother asked him to draw this drawing, but before he could give it to him, he was gone.

"Mingciao, I'm going to join the army. I thought clearly, if I want to find out the truth about my family's destruction and take revenge, I have to enter the court. Now that the imperial court is employing people, I will join the army, and it should not be difficult to get ahead. ”

Li Mingcian took the parchment of Shen Xiqiao, and was a little stunned when he heard him speak, and his heart was a little sour.

The two of them have been together for so long, and their relationship is already very deep.

She knew that he was burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, and she also knew that he was a capable and ambitious person. But she really couldn't bear him.

reluctant to spoil her, trust her, and be good to her. Reluctant to his fragility, his attachment to her.

Li Mingcian felt that his eyes were astringent.

"What about you...... What about Mama Wang and Half Moon?" Li Mingcian asked with a sniff.

Shen Xiqiao was also very sour when he said this: "They will go to the mountains with you." When the world is settled, I'll pick you up. ”

Li Mingcian snorted, lowered his head, and didn't want to leave: "Shenxi Bridge, you're good." Bring the 'little cicada' to save your life at a critical moment. ”

Li Mingcian suddenly thought that he still had some very useful weapons, grenades and grenades, which should be very useful in terms of life. Especially when it comes to breaking through.

"Shen Xiqiao, I'll give you another life talisman. Li Mingcian said seriously.

Shen Xiqiao believed him, although she was a little radish head who was only nine years old, he just believed her.

Li Mingcian took Shenxi Bridge to the Jiashan, a deep cave. Those who turn around and turn are hidden tightly.

"These grenades, you just need to pull the lead and throw them out, you don't have to throw them again. ”

Shen Xiqiao took it over and looked at the things in his hand. It's not the same as the big one and the small one.

"Grenade, the name is quite apt. ”

"Thunder in your hands. ”

"Cicada, is there any difference between the big one and the small one?"

Li Mingcian pointed to the small one: "This is used to scare people." Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the big one: "This is really used to bomb people." ”

Shen Xiqiao took off his coat and spread it on the ground, using it as a burden: "Put it here, I'll go back." ”

Li Mingcian was unceremonious. The grenade with ash was placed on the clothes of Shenxi Bridge.

"These grenades have been sitting for a long time, but they're very dry in here, so they should still work well. We'll live in the volcano from now on, and I'll tell you when the route is set. When you're almost done with these grenades and little cicadas, come to me and get them. ”

Li Mingcian followed Shenxi Bridge, reaching out to support the bottom of the clothes to prevent the grenade from being too heavy to Shenxi Bridge.

When I got home, the family meeting was over.

Zhang Cuicui told Li Jingming about Li Mingciao's idea, and Li Jingming told Li Zheng again. Li Zheng thought it was a good idea, so he told the people in the village.

When the butcher received the letter from his daughter, he was first surprised, and then began to collect the family's belongings and wanted to take refuge with his daughter.

Zhang Butcher is a kind person, and his neighbors get along very well. He told his neighbors before he left.

As a result, many villagers in Dawan Village and Xiaowan Village wanted to take refuge in the volcano.

When the situation fermented to the point that it was out of control, Li Zheng reacted. The heart was not good, so he hurriedly called Old Man Li and his family to discuss.

"I didn't expect it to be like that. Now there are still people who say that there is a treasure in the volcano, and that we are going to hunt for treasure. ”

This time it was on Li Wenhou's side, and Li Mingcian also went to listen. Because she has a map, she can make a route.

Li Wenhou sat on the side and lazily ate the dried fruits: "Uncle Lizheng, I didn't say it." You shouldn't have publicized this in the village at all, if everyone left with us, the government couldn't find anyone, and the mountain had to be turned upside down. ”

When Li Zheng heard this, his face suddenly looked bad.

"Wenhou, people can't forget their roots. You grew up in this village, and when everyone was in trouble, you couldn't even reach out to help. ”

Li Wenhou didn't take it to heart: "Uncle Li Zheng, now is a big disaster." When the famine comes, everyone can be fed by their children. At this time, how could the neighborhood friends compare to themselves. Beware that you have taken care of others, but they have sold you. ”

Li Wenhou's words are in one sentence. Because while everyone was busy packing up their things and preparing to flee, the soldiers came to the village.

The old man in the village went to Gaomi, saying that the people in the village were going to flee to the mountains to evade taxes and forced labor.

The leader of the soldiers was furious and decided to make an example of the monkeys. rewarded Lao Lai with a sum of silver, and then led the army to slaughter the village.

By the time Li Mingcian learned the news, the soldiers had already fenced off the entire village.

"You people are worse than the soldiers who have fled. Punish the guilt!"

The leader of the army gathered the villagers in one place to give a lecture. It's like the scene when the devils swept and slaughtered the village.

Zhang Cuicui stood in the crowd with Gu'er in her arms, looking at the child in her arms with tears in her eyes.

Li Mingcian didn't want to die at the hands of such a group of scumbags. She had several pieces of explosives on her. She was going to open a hole in the soldiers, and she ran away.

Some of the supplies have been transferred and can hold out for a while.

Li Mingcian pulled Shen Xiqiao and gave him a look. Shen Xiqiao understood, and then the two of them went separately to inform Li Zheng and them.

Li Xiuzi was also nesting in this group, and it was the Zhang family who called her back. She is now besieged in the crowd and regrets her mistakes, and she is almost scared to pee when she hugs her son Huzi.

Hearing that Old Man Li told her to get ready, everyone had to fight again, and she saw the hope of life.

"Master Bing! I have something to say!" Li Xiuzi shouted with bright eyes, "The son of the former Shen County Commander is here, and he wants to rebel! He instigated us to fight out from here!"
