To the south of Gunzhou, there is a small city called Shijiazhuang.

It is connected to Surabaya in the east and the canal in the west, which is equivalent to a small node in the main artery of north-south traffic, which is a unique geographical advantage.

Merchants from the south to the north gather, which is not only a transit station, but also a trade market.

Therefore, from a little-known small village, it has gradually developed into a small city.

Before the death of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 6,000 households and a population of 30,000 or 40,000.

But now, due to the blockade of the water and land roads along the canal by the Qing army, the prosperity of the crowds and traffic in the past has long been lost.

In the past, there were no people on the crowded streets.

In a grocery store along the street, the little second brother yawned and waved a few fans in boredom to chase away the mosquitoes and flies that did not exist.

Towards evening, a young man with a sad face and ragged clothes suddenly appeared on the street.

Outlander!

These three words, not long ago, couldn't attract the attention of the shopkeeper at all, but now these three words are equivalent to a life-urging talisman, like a terminal illness and a plague.

As the young man staggered closer, the shops along the street closed their doors one after another.

Xiao Er's originally lazy look in the grocery store suddenly became terrifying, and he "Huo Di" jumped up, grabbed a door panel from the door, and was about to insert it into the door panel slot on the threshold.

At this time, the young man who had already approached, almost in a posture of "I won't accept the wall, I will help you", slowly leaned towards the shopkeeper and fell.

The posture was very strange, the man's right hand was stretched forward, his feet obviously couldn't keep up with the movement of his hands, and then his whole body slowly tilted and fell.

The shopkeeper wanted to avoid coming, but he couldn't bear to fall down in his heart, and in this hesitation, the young man hugged the shopkeeper almost with an unstoppable "momentum".

The shopkeeper was so anxious that he seemed to have stuck to something bad, and hurriedly pushed his hands out, and with this push, the young man fell to the ground like mud, obviously fainting.

The shopkeeper looked at it stunned, he didn't know how to do it, the owner didn't come to the store for a few days because he had no business, and the shop was entrusted to him to take care of alone.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a long time, finally stomped his feet, ran to the door, looked left and right, and then hurriedly closed the door of the store.

……。

Night is falling.

In the warehouse in the backyard of the grocery store, the young man who fainted woke up after being poured a few mouthfuls of porridge by the shopkeeper.

It's no wonder that people in this era, if they faint, they can wake up by pouring a few mouthfuls of gruel, and the efficacy of this porridge is like a panacea, just like boiled water in later generations, which can be cured.

Seeing the young man wake up, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you awake?" ”

The young man blinked and nodded slightly.

The shopkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief, the person is fine, it seems that he is not sick, but he is really hungry and faint.

As soon as my heart was relieved, there were many words, and it was no wonder that in the past ten days, I didn't even owe a chatter, and the shopkeeper couldn't wait to catch a mouse and chat for a long time.

"You said you, don't you know that the Tartars are sealed?" The shopkeeper sighed, "Fortunately, you met me, otherwise, if you fall on this street, it won't be long before an official will come over and carry you away like a chicken...... Do you know where to go? ”

The young man's eyes gradually brightened, and he shook his head slowly.

With a mysterious but terrifying look, he made a knife in his right hand and slashed so his left palm, "Chop off your head!" ”

The young man's lips squirmed a few times, and he slowly said in a loud voice: "Lian Xian...... Don't even try? ”

"Hah......." The shopkeeper tilted his head and said with a breath out of his nostrils: "Still need to be judged?" It's been more than ten days, and a big pit has been dug at the foot of Leper Mountain, not far from the street, and it is full of strangers like you...... Are you afraid? ”

The young man was stunned for a long time, and gently spit out a word, "I'm afraid." ”

The shopkeeper pushed a little harder, "Hello...... That's right, I saved your life. ”

"Thank you, brother...... Fight to save each other, and in the coming day, there will be a good reward. ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome......." The shopkeeper smiled with a smile, but then he snorted.

"Look at the way you look, you're not the one who can repay me...... I said, "When you wake up, don't stay in my shop anymore, and leave quickly, so as not to trouble me...... Don't you know that there are 200 Tartar soldiers in this city, and they are fierce...... Tsk, if anyone dares to take in strangers and not report it, they will be killed together. ”

The young man swallowed his saliva, nodded lightly, and said, "Little brother is right, I can't affect innocent people...... I'm leaving. ”

But as soon as he stood up, the young man's body shook for a while, and if it wasn't for the shopkeeper who could afford to help him, he was afraid that he would have to fall again.

The young man gasped for breath and struggled to get up.

The shopkeeper finally couldn't bear it anymore, he hesitated and said: "That's it, if you go out like this, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get out of the street, and you will be killed...... It's getting dark, or you can stay until dawn, and then I'll be kind and save people to the end. ”

The young man was a little moved, he nodded heavily and said, "Thank you brother for taking you in, dare to ask your brother's name?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "It's the first time I've heard someone ask me like this...... My surname is Sun, my big name is Dayong, and my nickname is ...... Dogs. ”

"Brother Sun, if I don't die, I will definitely thank you!" The young man solemnly promised.

The shopkeeper laughed, nodded and said, "You just have to remember...... By the way, it can only be tonight, I must leave at dawn, otherwise, you will cause me to lose my life. ”

"Okay." The young man nodded, closed his eyes, and said these words, obviously unable to keep up with his strength.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "You wait, there is still some porridge in the pot, I'll go and bring it to you." ”

……。

The young man who drank another bowl of porridge finally had the strength to [pencil www.qbxs.xyz].

The shopkeeper is obviously not an empathetic master, and his curiosity is heavier than that of the curious cat.

"What's your name?"

The young man's face darkened, "My surname is Qian, and my single name is Yi." ”

"Where?"

"The people of Yinxian County, southern Zhejiang."

"Oh...... Isn't that the land of the Yixing Dynasty? ”

"Yes."

The second little boy of the "tsk" shop smacked twice, and looked at the young man in horror, "You dare to love you...... You must know that you are from Yinxian County, and I don't dare to save you if I kill me. ”

As he spoke, his feet involuntarily took two steps back, as if he was about to run out at any moment.

Qian Yi smiled bitterly: "Now that you know, why don't you give me to the Tartars in exchange for a few rewards?" ”

The shopkeeper licked his lips, that look really meant something. He slowly squirmed two steps outward, and when he turned around, he put his hand on the latch, but after a long hesitation, he finally did not pull the latch.

He hesitated for a long time, Huo Di turned around, glared at Qian Yi and said, "Although my Sun Dayong has no ability, I still know what loyalty and righteousness are in my heart, just like the storyteller said...... What's that guy called...... That's right, Guan Gong! ”
