Young Master Zhou was handsome, and Zhang Meixi even forgot to salute for a while.

Mrs. Zhang complained with a smile there:

"You kid, why don't you send a telegram when you come back, your mother went to Qingdao to transport grain, and she has been gone for several days."

"Then I'll pick up my mother."

Young Master Zhou put his legs together, his military boots stepped on the ground, and he gave Mrs. Zhang a military salute with a snap, turned around and strode out.

"Come back hi, listen to me......"

Mrs. Zhang exaggeratedly reached out and grabbed a handful of air, naturally she couldn't catch it back.

The servants below said,

"This eldest young master still looks murderous, it really hasn't changed at all."

Young Master Zhou only took two partners of the same age, three people and six horses, and galloped away.

Mrs. Zhang didn't stop anyone, inexplicably irritable, a pair of small feet, stepping on specially customized sheepskin boots, circled around the room, and after a while, found that her daughter was still there, smiling awkwardly.

Zhang Meixi also smiled, she knew in her heart that Mrs. Zhang was worried, Uncle Zhang had been out for so many days and hadn't come back, not only had he not come back, but Xin'er didn't bring one!

After comforting Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Meixi turned around and went to the old lady's nursing home.

The name of the nursing home is a little more comfortable, but there are a lot of stewards coming and going every day, and Mrs. Zhang is still exuding a lot of residual heat.

When Mrs. Zhang saw the eldest girl coming, she smiled and asked her to sit, and asked someone to bring her grapefruit juice.

This grapefruit juice is also a foreign product, and it is contained in a glass bottle.

The eldest girl didn't eat much tea, so the old lady asked people to prepare grapefruit juice in the nursing home, and as soon as she came, she gave it to drink.

Zhang Meixi saw that her grandfather was in a good mood, so she sat aside and listened to him talk to the stewards below.

"It has been four days since the telegram from Qingdao was received, saying that the ship had been unloaded, and that it had been transported back by carriage and horses." A steward spoke.

"Counting the distance, it should be back in the next day or two, the weather is dry and there is no rain, and the road is easy to walk."

"In this great drought, the autumn grain harvest in more than a dozen counties near and far has failed, and those who have come out to escape the famine this year are much earlier than in previous years, and there are many people."

"Those who flee the famine are not afraid, let alone hundreds, even tens of thousands are not upset, what they are afraid of is bandits."

"Bandits are not afraid." Another steward interface said,

"The bandits are not afraid, the hundreds of people who transported the grain this time are all the best of the best."

"Bandits are not afraid." The old lady also summed up, and added another sentence after speaking:

"In these years, on the ground of Shandong, it is not easy to distinguish between the bandits and the people."

Several housekeepers nodded in agreement.

There is no food to eat for those who farm, and naturally they will rise up, and there are too many bandits, all of them are robbing people, and those who are not robbed will not work, and in the end, most of them will go back to farming.

Lao Zhang's family is a big landlord, a family of bandits, a traffic official, and those who have more food can't eat it in their lifetimes, and those who have more money can't use it in their lifetimes.

Seeing that the drought was coming, Uncle Zhang went out every day to be busy, and Mrs. Zhang of the foreign school was much quieter.

What they are afraid of is that there will be more people without food to eat, and two or three out of ten will come out to be bandits.

I listened to Mr. Zhang and the stewards discuss for a while.

Zhang Meixi also had a bottom in her heart, turned around and went back to her daughter's house, and asked people to take out the jewelry box left by the old lady for her, and now buying food is the most important thing.

On the tenth day, Uncle Zhang came back. Mrs. Zhou also came back, and Mrs. Zhou was carried back; The eldest young master of the Zhou family also came back, and the eldest young master of the Zhou family was tied up with a rope and carried back.

The stewards were right, the Zhang family went out to transport grain this time, and they were not afraid of encountering disaster victims, or even more fierce bandits, but this time they encountered soldiers.

As a matter of fact, the characteristic of this place in Shandong is that it is not only impossible to distinguish between the people and bandits, but also between the soldiers, and turning into officers and soldiers is also a major way out for bandits for thousands of years.

At the beginning, the Zhang family's grain transportation team saw hundreds of sporadic victims, but they didn't pay attention to it at all, and later encountered soldiers who came to block the road and grab grain.

It must be soldiers, those people are uniformly dressed, they can dig pits as cover, they are very good at shooting, and they can hide.

Mrs. Zhou was the security captain of the bandit family, and she was a bold artist, so she stood and commanded, and was shot twice by Hanyang, one under the left rib and the other in the lower abdomen.

Hanyang-made is produced by Hanyang Arsenal, which is the mainstream rifle of the Republic of China, and the bullet is extremely long, full three inches.

Fortunately, it was winter, and she was in a hurry outdoors, and Mrs. Zhou was wearing very thick clothes, and the bullets did not completely enter it, and her head was exposed. It's been dug up.

Young Master Zhou was tied up with a rope and carried back. The hot-blooded young man who had just graduated from the military academy screamed excitedly when he heard the robbery, and when he saw his mother being shot, he suddenly turned into a violent beast.

After Mrs. Zhou was shot, she was very decisive, knowing that this was an unobstructed road, and that it did not occupy the right time and place, so she immediately asked people to give up the grain cart, and when she saw that she could not call her eldest son, she was not verbose, so she asked someone to tie it up directly and carry it back.

After Uncle Zhang arrived home, he immediately summoned the stewards to discuss the matter, and the entire Ping'an County entered a state of first-class combat readiness, and the telegraph room was ticking every day, and dozens or hundreds of telegrams were sent out every day.

The people who grab grain are obviously soldiers, and no matter how chaotic the Republic of China is, there is also an official government. The Zhang family quickly assembled their own arms and put pressure on the Shandong government officials in Shandong Province.

Zhang Meixi went to see Mrs. Zhou first.

Mrs. Zhou had lost a lot of blood and was already very weak, lying flat on the bed, inhaling with great effort, but her mind was still very clear. He was still struggling to listen to the reports of the soldiers who came in and went out.

There were five or six doctors around, all well-known from near and far, and Pegasus invited them.

There are several Chinese medicine practitioners, some wearing long shirts, some wearing horse coats, and a Western-style doctor in a suit.

These doctors have very bad faces,

Mrs. Zhou's situation is not so rosy.

Zhang Meixi turned around to look at the eldest young master of the Zhou family again.

At this time, the handsome and dizzying male god has changed his image greatly, his hands and feet are tied, tied to a crooked-necked jujube tree, the young man is still roaring in a low voice, his eyes are blood-red, he struggles hard, and the old thick jujube tree shakes violently.

Zhang Meixi raised her hands, and the void made a few reassuring gestures, and tried her best to use a gentle tone to tell him the current situation a few times.

Seeing that the irascible young man slowly quieted down, Zhang Meixi was frowning and thinking about what to do.

The second young master of the Zhou family came over and asked people to let his eldest brother go.

The eldest young master of the Zhou family, who was released from the rope, became a little irritable again, waving his fist and jumping a few times on the ground.

The handsome young master of the Zhou family, who can blind people, the image of the male god collapsed in Zhang Meixi's mind.

After all, Master Zhou has nowhere to vent, and if he has nowhere to vent, he has to find a place to vent.

After three days, the eldest young master of the Zhou family finally found several doctors who treated Mrs. Zhou's injuries, and the Western-style doctor in a suit was knocked out of his front teeth by the eldest young master Zhou.

Because they said that Mrs. Zhou was hopeless, so let's prepare for the future.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou was awake less and more asleep.

When Mrs. Zhou was sober, she began to support her.

What she meant was to entrust the third young master of the Zhou family to the old Zhang family, and let the third young master of the Zhou family and the eldest girl of the Zhang family marry.

Zhang Meixi was anxious.

Mrs. Zhou, you must not die, you are just such a small injury, the wound is infected, how can you die! I don't want to make a baby kiss,
