With the shouts of the little dolls, more and more people poured out, looking at the majestic Dong Zhuang, everyone was amazed, the Dong family was the poorest family in Dongjiazhuang back then, even now, because the foundation is too thin, it is still at the bottom of Dongjiazhuang, but seeing Dong Zhuang's current appearance, they all sigh for thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Dong family, seeing that this is the rhythm to be developed!

The pine tree is still the same big pine tree, and the big yellow dog tethered under the tree is much stronger than two years ago, and it is no longer the skinny and messy guy in Dong Zhuang's image.

Seeing so many people coming, the big yellow dog, which was sticking out its tongue under the pine tree, stood up suddenly, its fur inverted, and a threatening whining sound in its throat.

"Rhubarb!" Dong Zhuang's eyes moistened all of a sudden, and he shouted, the big yellow dog stared at it with big eyes, looked at the brightly dressed person in front of him with some doubts, swung his legs, and took a few steps forward, as if he smelled a familiar smell, and jumped up in place all of a sudden, and raised his two front paws high, wanting to pick up Dong Zhuang's body, but unfortunately the rope behind him tied it and dragged him back all of a sudden.

Dong Zhuang took a step forward, stretched out his hands, and the big yellow dog pounced into his arms all of a sudden, the dog's head rested on Dong Zhuang's shoulder, his head kept rubbing Dong Zhuang's face, and his long tongue stretched out, licking Dong Zhuang's face. "Dong Laohan, your eldest son is back!" In the crowd, someone raised his voice and shouted loudly.

"Which one is amusing me again!" An old voice came from the house, the door creaked open, and an old man with gray hair opened the door and appeared in the doorway.

"Daddy. I'm back!" Dong Zhuang pounced all of a sudden, popped, and knelt on the ground, "Dad, the unfilial son is back." Looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, Dong Zhuang burst into tears, his father was not yet fifty, but he looked like an old man who was over the age of six.

"Strong!" The old man looked at Dong Zhuang who was kneeling in front of him, and he didn't react for a long time, just looked Dong Zhuang up and down.

"Dad, it's me, it's Zhuangzhuang, Zhuangzhuang is back!" Dong Zhuang said in a loud voice, "Take a closer look, I am your son."

"Strong!" The old man finally recognized Dong Zhuang and shouted, "You, didn't you die in Yuyang?" They all said you died in Yuyang!"

"I'm not dead, I'm back." Dong Zhuang shouted, "Are you okay?" Is my mother okay? Are your younger siblings alright?"

The old man shouted, suddenly turned around and ran towards the house, "the boy, Zhuang Zhuang is back, Zhuang Zhuang is not dead!"

Dong Zhuang got up and ran towards the house.

In the inner room, a strong smell of medicine permeated, and a woman with the same gray hair was struggling to get up from the bed, stretching her hands forward and groping around, her eyes were blank, and she turned out to be blind.

Dong Laohan walked to the bedside, helped the woman, and burst into tears, "Damn the child, Zhuang Zhuang is back."

Dong Zhuang stood by the door in a daze, looking at the two gray-haired old men, he almost couldn't believe his eyes, when he left, the family was fine, why did it become like this now? Dad looks dozens of years old, my mother is sick in bed, and my younger siblings are gone.

"Zhuangzhuang, where are you? Where are you?" The woman's hands were scratching around, and tears were streaming down her shriveled eyes.

"Mother!" Dong Zhuang screamed, pounced, knelt in front of the bed, and held his mother's withered hands with both hands, "I'm back, your son is back."

"My son!" The woman suddenly hugged Dong Zhuang in her arms and cried loudly.

"Zhuangzhuang, two years ago, when I heard that you died in Yuyang, your mother cried every day, saying that she shouldn't let you go to the army, and then she cried blind. The body also collapsed." Dong Laohan sighed.

"Mother, it's all my fault, we were defeated in Yuyang, I became a prisoner, and then I came to Hetao, participated in the Eastern Army, and then went to Donghu, I have been fighting, I was illiterate at that time, and I couldn't write back, and we didn't deal with the Eastern Army and the Yan Army, and I couldn't even bring a message back, it was my son who was not good, and I made you suffer!" Dong Zhuang put his mother's hands on his face and cried. Now that my son is back, my son is an official, and there are many people under him, my son won't let you suffer anymore."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be alive!" The woman trembled and clutched Dong Zhuang tightly, for fear that as soon as she let go, Dong Zhuang would disappear again.

"Akiko, bring everything in!" Dong Zhuang sat on the edge of the bed and turned around and shouted.

The iron men who were crowded by the door, teary-eyed because they saw a qiē in the house, turned around and rushed out, unloaded one package after another from behind the horses, and rushed back into the house.

"Dad, mother, this is a gift I bought for you and my younger siblings." Dong Zhuang smiled in tears, and opened the package one by one, "This is for the eldest brother and second brother, these are the clothes and jewelry bought for the younger sisters, and the rest are for the second elder, in addition to the new clothes, there is also an old ginseng, which we found by accident when we were fighting in Donghu, just to make up for my mother's body, and, Dad, you see, we have money."

Dong Zhuang tore open a package, which was filled with silver taels of white flowers, a few hundred taels." Father, mother, these are the two years of military salaries and the reward for winning battles and meritorious service, I am in the army, I have food and clothing, this money is not spent, all of it is brought back, for my brother to marry a daughter-in-law, to add a dowry to my sister, it is almost inseparable."

Dong Zhuang said excitedly, but he didn't notice that Dong Laohan was silently wiping tears on the side, and his mother's body in his arms was also trembling.

"Dad, mother, where are my brothers and sisters? Why haven't you come back yet?" Dong Zhuang looked around, and finally found that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously.

"They, they're gone!" Dong Laohan cried out.

"It's gone! What, it's gone, why is it gone?" Dong Zhuang jumped up suddenly, and the old woman fell on the bed and cried loudly.

"Last year, the people of Qi came over, your eldest brother and second brother were recruited by the government to be soldiers, and then Jicheng was broken by the people of Qi, and the city was full of blood, and there was no news of your two younger brothers. The people of Qi came and looted everywhere, and the eldest and second girls were snatched away by them, and there was no news from them. It's all gone, it's all gone!" Dong Laohan cried.

Dong Zhuang's body trembled violently, his face was red, his fists were clenched, and one of the guards looked wrong, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Boss, boss, you howl a few times loudly, howl a few times!"

Seeing that Dong Zhuang still didn't react, he waved his hand violently and slapped Dong Zhuang in the face, with a bang, a mouthful of blood spit out, Dong Zhuang screamed, and fell over with his back to the sky.

"Boss!"

"Strong!"

There was a great chaos in the house.

Late at night, people are quiet. Dong Laohan sat on the stone mill under the big pine tree, Dong Zhuang moved a small bench and sat on the side, the big yellow dog was the same as two years ago, lying in front of Dong Zhuang's feet, and from time to time he would stick out his tongue and lick Dong Zhuang's big feet.

In Dong Laohan's slow, painful voice, Dong Zhuang finally completely figured out what had happened to his family in the past two years.

The people of Qi came, but there were not many soldiers in Yan State, and the imperial court finally pulled down the skin, and the recruitment system that had been implemented for several years collapsed, and was replaced by the arrest of Zhuang Ding, Dong Zhuang's two younger brothers were taken away in this way and died on the day the city was broken. After the Qi people fully occupied Tianhe, it can be said that they burned and looted everything, and the two sisters were snatched away by a group of Qi rebels, and their whereabouts are unknown.

The situation of the Dong family, it is said that in this world is simply not able to survive, fortunately, after the Eastern Army occupied Tianhe County, began a comprehensive reform, the Dong family also got a few acres of land, but the old couple simply did not have the ability to plant him, the local government sent people to cultivate for them in the busy farming season, which allowed the two old people to survive, last winter, and built a new house for them, although it is not as good as other Qingkuwa tile houses in Zhuangzi, but it is also much better than the previous few rotten thatched houses.

"King Han is good, if King Han hadn't come, if you come back now, I'm afraid that our graves will grow grass!" Dong Laohan sighed and said, "It's just a pity that your younger brothers and sisters are not blessed, and they can't wait for this day, otherwise, our family will have more than a dozen acres of land, and if it is hard, life will get better and better."

Or too much sadness has made the old man a little numb, and his expression has become much calmer at this time, "Zhuangzhuang, you are back, our Dong family is finally not dead."

"Dad, don't worry, life will get better and better, and I will avenge the revenge of my younger brothers and sisters." Dong Zhuang gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "My son is now a field battalion commander under the First Division of the Third Army of the Northern Group Army of the Han Dynasty, and there are thousands of brothers under him. Wang Shang is going to set up a military command academy in Jicheng, and his son is the first batch of students in this academy, I heard that after graduation, he can at least become a regiment commander, and after a few more years, he will become a division commander, that is a general!"

Dong Laohan didn't understand what his son was saying, but looked at his son with some concern, "Is there another war?" Strong, can't you go home? You are the only one in our Dong family."

"Of course there will be a war, and if I don't fight, how can I avenge my younger brothers and sisters." Dong Zhuang's voice was low, "We, the big man, want to sweep away all the garbage, Dad, didn't you say that the big man is good?" Then we will plant the banner of the Han Dynasty in every corner of this world, so that everyone can live a good life like this."

Dong Laohan nodded a little ignorantly, his son has grown up, and he is no longer the eldest son who didn't know anything before, he is now an official.

Dong Zhuang didn't stay at home for long, now he just wants to go back to the army immediately, with his ten brothers, Dong Zhuang chopped firewood for the family for a day, and stacked it like a hill in the yard, which is prepared for the two old winters, and then took gifts to visit the village one by one, thanking them for taking care of the Dong family, and also hoping that they can help him take care of the two old people in the future.

After doing this, Dong Zhuang said goodbye to his parents and returned to the army, now he just wants to go to study quickly, and then return to the army as soon as possible, take his brothers, and kill to the country of Qi. (To be continued......) R1292
