"By the way, I want to ask you, is your village very poor? Why did you eat the last meal but didn't have the next meal, look at the two of you like this, as if you haven't eaten enough in eight lifetimes, thin and bamboo poles, when this wind blows, it can roll you up to the sky. Chihu frowned and asked at Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai.

"Red Tiger General, I'm going to talk to you about this, our village is called Chunfeng Village, because there is a super wide river, and there is a lot of rain, if it rains for several days in a row, the river will have to rise, and it will have to flood our village, I remember when I was a child, our home was always flooded by the big water, but fortunately, Sister Chunchan's house was built higher, and we often went to her house to avoid the big water, which is also strange, sometimes there is a drought, and the water in the big river is dry without a drop of water, The land is cracked, you can't live by planting anything, once a fortune teller said, this kind of village is not suitable for people to live, all of a sudden there is a big flood, all of a sudden drought, heard the fortune teller say this, many people moved away, but my uncle and aunt and I are poor, our ancestors have only that hut for generations, where can we go, and there is no silver on us. ”

Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai recalled the poor days in the past, at that time they were really poor, and they couldn't even supply stuttering, so after their father and aunt died, the two brothers vowed to go out of Chunfeng Village, go outside, and then return to the village after a small achievement, they also thought that they could earn some silver taels and give some to their uncle and aunt, after all, their uncle and aunt, as well as Sister Chunchan and Sister Chunmian, have been taking care of them.

"My uncle and aunt are not in good health, my uncle has always had low back pain, my aunt always loves to cough in winter, both of them are medicine jars, I heard that Sister Chunchan sent a monthly case when she was a maid, so I asked Uncle Zhang to send it back, to my uncle and aunt, let them buy medicine to eat, but where are the two of my uncle and aunt willing to take Sister Chunchan's monthly money to buy medicine, they are all saved."

"I see! Then your uncle and aunt are reluctant to buy medicine, what do they do with their money, isn't this body the most important?" Chihu touched his chin and replied thoughtfully, no wonder on the day of the last reward, Chunchan chose silver, not clothes, he used to occasionally listen to the rest of the maids, saying that Chunchan was very picky, and he was never willing to spend a penny by himself, and he was sent back to his hometown.

"Of course, uncle and aunt have a dowry for Sister Chunchan!" Zhang Hua was quick for a while, blurted out, Zhang Cai couldn't stop it if he wanted to, he could only stare at Zhang Hua, Zhang Hua saw his brother's appearance, and said, "What are you staring at me for, I still listen to what my uncle and aunt said, this Sister Chunchan can't be a maid for a lifetime, she serves others all day long, I heard that the master who is serving is not a good person, of course my uncle and aunt think that Sister Chunchan can come back and marry a good family." ”

"Oh, do you have good candidates for Chunchan's father and mother, does Chunchan know about this matter? Did she promise someone? Could it be that it is promised to the son of the big family you just mentioned?" Chihu frowned and said the doubts in his heart in one breath, Zhang Cai saw Chihu's slightly nervous appearance, and he suddenly knew in his heart, but his stupid little brother still didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, looking at his confused look, it is estimated that he doesn't know that Sister Chunchan is very likely to be in General Mo's mansion now.

"Red Tiger General, how can there be, don't listen to Zhang Hua's nonsense, uncle and aunt are saving silver for Sister Chunchan as a dowry, but which family is this specifically promised, but there is no thing, you mention the son of the big family, I want to talk about the son, blame the son of the big family, my little brother didn't say that the son of the big family saw Chunchan washing clothes in the stream, the son of the big family was like a dog seeing meat and bones, and pounced on it, Chunchan saw a strange man suddenly pounced, and hurriedly flashed, And the great man planted himself in the brook. ”

Zhang Cai got angry when he thought about it, he slapped his thigh fiercely, and said indignantly, "Unexpectedly, after the big family climbed up from the stream, he strode towards the house, and after a while, the son of the big family actually led his father and mother, as well as many small people, to come to the door, and had to let Chunchan's sister's father and aunt compensate him for ten taels of silver, and said that if he didn't pay, he would take Chunchan's sister away to be his fifth aunt." ”

When Chihu heard this, he also said, "Shameless." Zhang Cai saw that Chihu was slightly angry, and his heart was happy, and he began to stimulate Chihu again, "Chihu leader, don't you know, the son of this big family is really a bully, that is, the kind of hooligan who robbed the yellow flower girl on the street, he obviously fell in love with Sister Chunchan, and said that Sister Chunchan caused him to fall into the stream, this is just making excuses, and besides, he fell into the creek himself, and it was not Sister Chunchan who pushed him down, I heard that the son likes to beat women, and the first four little ladies he married home, Every day his nose is blue and his face is swollen, and he can hear their howls at night, and the more he fights, the more excited he becomes, the more he fights, and he doesn't kill anyone, he keeps it and tortures it slowly. ”

"It's shameless, worse than us bandits." Du Ruo, who was sitting on the side, also listened to the story of Sister Chunchan with his ears pricked up, and couldn't help but scold, the son of this big family is too bad, Zhang Cai saw that they listened to it with relish, and suddenly became excited, and hurriedly said.

"Yes, that son-in-law heard my uncle and aunt say that there was no silver to compensate, so he led those little guys and stepped forward to drag Sister Chunchan away, Zhang Hua, do you remember, we were still young at that time, and we dragged Sister Chunchan's calves alone, and the damn Brother Gongzi still kicked us hard on the shoulder, causing us to hurt for several days." Zhang Hua slowly recalled, remembered, and nodded hurriedly.

"Then in the end, did your sister Chunchan be arrested later, you should say it quickly, and you will be appetizing here." Du Ruo's eyes widened, urging Zhang Cai, how can this Zhang Cai tell a story so indistinctly from the priority, talk about it here, talk about it there, it can hang people's appetite high, this can be regarded as speaking Chihu's thoughts, Chihu looked at Du Ruo, and also urged Zhang Cai, "Say it quickly." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll say it quickly, don't worry, you two don't worry, this is the so-called good meal is not afraid of being late, this good story is to be told slowly, when the boy brother was about to drag away Sister Chunchan, it happened that Uncle Zhang came back, Uncle Zhang is said to be driving a horse for the master of a family in Chang'an City, and he has been doing it for many years, as soon as he saw this battle, he hurriedly drank the arrogant and domineering Brother Gongzi, and kicked away the few little guys who dragged Sister Chunchan, because Uncle Zhang was working for his master in Chang'an City, and he had a little prestige, Those little guys also stood aside under Uncle Zhang's scolding, and after Uncle Zhang heard the ins and outs of the matter, he told the boy that if they insisted on doing this, then he could only go to Chang'an City to report to the official. ”

"Later, I remember that they heard Uncle Zhang's words, and they ran away in disgrace, after all, Uncle Zhang is in Chang'an City, there must be acquaintances, if Uncle Zhang really reported in Chang'an City, he is a small big family in Chunfeng City, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk, so yes, uncle and aunt are afraid that the big family will come to find things again, so the uncle and aunt entrusted the relationship with Uncle Zhang, and arranged Sister Chunchan to be a maid in the master's house in Chang'an City, if it weren't for that son, maybe Sister Chunchan is still in Chunfeng Village, Maybe marry a good son and have a lovely child, instead of serving the master all day. ”

Zhang Cai listened to the sound of the carriage slowly moving forward, in this silent night, such a little sound stimulated his brain, he was really upset for Sister Chunchan, he always felt that those big families were very arrogant and domineering masters, at least the big families he had seen in Chunfeng Village were like this, dogs fighting people and bullying the weak.

"Brother, don't worry about Sister Chunchan anymore, didn't I listen to my uncle and aunt say that Sister Chunchan is doing very well in that big family, I heard that Sister Chunchan's reply said that there are three meals at a time there, and there is a place to sleep, there is a monthly case every month, and occasionally there is a reward, the master is good." Zhang Hua looked at Zhang Cai, who looked sad, and hurriedly said, I hope his words can comfort his brother.

"Who knows, how can there be a good master in this world, a master who is really good to slaves and maids? Sister Chunchan wrote back, she definitely didn't want her uncle and aunt to worry, you know, Sister Chunchan has been sensible since she was a child, she is a person who never reports good news and not bad news. Zhang Cai pursed his lips, he told the story of his sister Chunchan, and there was some heartache when he talked about it, the children of their old Zhang family are all hard-working children.

"Look at what you said, you know the third lady of General Mo's mansion, when the young general was at the full moon banquet, so many materials were distributed to the people in Yunjin City, and it was also proposed by the third lady, and the third lady treated the slaves and maids on weekdays, she really didn't have any temper at all, and she still loved the slaves and maids, and being a maid by the side of the third lady was like being a rich daughter, not worrying about eating or drinking, and there was no master to scold them."

Chihu looked up at Zhang Cai, and added, "Don't think that all the masters are bad, I am the leader next to General Mo, and General Mo also loves us soldiers, but it's a pity, you did something wrong, if you didn't tie up the young general, you can really belong to General Mo." ”

Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai shook their heads and regretted it, but now it's too late to say anything, what happened is what happened, and there is no way back, Chihu said again, "Now the Tang Dynasty is stable, and there is no war, our soldiers practice archery and horseback riding in the training ground on weekdays, simulating the situation of war, each soldier has a room to sleep in the general's mansion, and there is a special cook to cook three meals a day. If you meet me early, I can introduce you to General Mo's Mansion as soldiers, of course, I said early, but I said the days before you became bandits. ”

"Okay, Red Tiger soldiers, don't stimulate the three of us anymore, there is no regret medicine to take in this world, we are all unlucky, this is still the young general, hey, things have come to this point, you just need to give our old Zhang family the last bloodline, before I die, I really want to see Sister Chunchan, since Sister Chunchan went to Chang'an City to be a maid, we haven't seen Sister Chunchan for many years." Zhang Cai sighed deeply again, and looked at Chihu tightly with a pair of big eyes, Chihu was overwhelmed by what he saw, and quickly turned his head.

Zhang Cai knew in his heart, as long as the Red Tiger Leader let him see Sister Chunchan, he would definitely beg Sister Chunchan, Sister Chunchan would definitely not watch them die, she would definitely go to ask the Red Tiger Leader again, if the Red Tiger Leader liked Sister Chunchan, then the Red Tiger Leader would definitely find a way, he didn't care, he just wanted to keep his little brother beside him, Zhang Hua, who was only fifteen years old, was stupid and only knew how to eat.
