Chapter 131: Redemption
Uncle Da was slightly stunned for a second, looking at the boy, his face didn't want to be a joke, and he thought that if he went out in the future, his surname would still be Lu, it seemed that it would be really a little troublesome.
"Little master, if you really want to change your surname, you can change it, and you can find some trouble when you go out in the future."
"But I want to be surnamed Hu." The boy said calmly.
"What? Surname Hu? Uncle Da's eyes widened, this is the emperor's surname, although there are some people surnamed Hu in the land of Dahu, but the number is not very large.
Later, due to many reasons, in addition to the royal family, there are fewer and fewer people with the surname Hu. Now that his little young master is going to be surnamed Hu, how can he not be surprised?
Of course, there are not many people with the royal surname Hu now, and of course there are also royal surnames Hu. But there are indeed few people who have changed their surname to Hu.
"Little master, you have to think clearly, don't be impulsive, this surname is not changed like that."
He originally wanted to change his surname, but he wanted to hide his name, but he changed this surname, which attracted people's attention.
"Uncle Da, I want this surname, so you don't have to persuade me." Although the boy is young, he has a firm mind that surpasses that of his peers.
Uncle Da looked at the little young master for a long time, and was just about to say a few more words, when there were suddenly a few knocks outside the door, "Bang Bang Bang~"
There was a muffled knock on the rotten wooden door.
Uncle Da stopped his words and shouted loudly, "Who is it?" ”
"We are officers and soldiers, the people inside, open the door." There was a dull voice at the door, and Uncle Da was a little panicked, but he was also an old man, and he stabilized his mind.
He shouted that he was coming, "coming," and he passed by slowly, and when he opened the wooden door again, the two of them were dressed in uniform armor and stomachs, and the weapons pinned to their waists were also different.
But it was the emperor and the army, they actually came to check on people, these two soldiers walked in with a big grin, and said, "They are all from the Lu family, right?" I've found you, don't pretend, come with us. ”
"Official, what you say, we don't understand." Uncle Da was sweating profusely on his forehead, he was still old.
"Huh? Old man, don't pretend, what did your Lu family do...... "One of the soldiers, if he wants to have a seizure, the emperor and the army are already short-tempered, and this is the person targeted by the Lu family, it is Hu Xiu, which is naturally even more difficult to speak.
This time, they asked them to come out and arrest people, but they wanted to kill people directly, and it was all in vain. So they had already discussed it, and if they dared to resist, they would kill them. When the time comes, he will confess and say, accidentally killed.
It can be seen that they are all ruthless, but this is also right, Hu Xiu is only fifteen or sixteen years old now. If the Lu family wants to kill him, then the emperor and the army will also be ruthless to your descendants.
"Don't hit Grandpa Ruda!" The boy rushed forward and saved Uncle Da.
"Official, we are really not the Lu family you said." Uncle Da continued to say hard.
"Okay~" The emperor and the sergeant saw that Luda was still stiff-mouthed, squatted down, and asked the boy.
"Kid, do you know what your last name is?" If the adult can't speak, then play the child's words, and the child can't fool him.
"My surname is Hu."
The emperor and the sergeant were stunned for a moment, surnamed Hu? What's the situation?
"Do you know what your name is and your father?"
"My name is Hu Xianyi, my name is Hu Niu, he is the landlord of Da Niu Village! A month ago, there was a sudden fire, and the whole village burned, and many people died.
That day, I sneaked out to play, Grandpa Ruda was the housekeeper, and he was originally out to find me. Unexpectedly, the house burned, and many houses were burned together, and my father and mother were burned to death.
Later, when it was rebuilt, Grandpa Ruda and I also wanted them to help us get a cabin.
But they beat us out of the village, and scolded my father for being a bad person, and he was not allowed to come to Da Niu Village in the future.
Uncle, are you here to rob our house? ”
"Uncle... How can I rob your house to live in? The soldier was a little speechless, what the hell is going on? Could it be that the wrong person was really arrested?
This kid is so specific, and the person is still so young, it shouldn't seem like a lie.
But he turned his head and asked Ruda, "Old man, are you really the landlord of that big cow village?" ”
"I'm not lying, I don't believe you can go and check, my father is really a landlord, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wear such good clothes."
The child stared, without blinking, just looking at the two emperors and soldiers.
They were a little embarrassed for a while, although they killed people without blinking, but they killed what they thought should be killed, but at this time, they bullied the civilians, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.
"What's that~ Then we'll go first." With that, the two of them came out of the hut in a gloomy manner.
As he walked, he said, "Is it really wrong?" The kid said that he was Hu Xianyi, it shouldn't be that Lu Xianyi, he got the name wrong and checked the wrong person. ”
"Who knows, go back and ask them to take a look at the file, to see if there was a fire in that big cow village a month ago, isn't it all solved?"
Except for a soldier, he was not too worried, and said reasonably.
"You're right, go back and see, you won't know it, but this Lu Xianyi is not sure for a while."
The two soldiers shook their heads together, they were originally here to find Lu Xianyi, the remnant of the Lu family, but they came, but they didn't find it, which was really frustrating enough.
Waiting for the soldiers of the emperor and the army to go away, Uncle Da picked it up in the room, and he didn't know what he was doing.
"Uncle Da, what are you doing here?"
"Little master, hurry up and go, the officers and soldiers have found out here, and the next time they come, they will arrest us." Uncle Da said worriedly.
"It's okay, Uncle Da, they won't come again. What I told them was true. A month ago, there was a fire in Daniu Village, near Hehua County. The child sat on the edge of the bed, not in a hurry.
"Little Master, how do you know?" Uncle Da was dumbfounded, how can a child know about this kind of thing.
"My father is a county lieutenant, and he was originally responsible for investigating this matter, and I secretly read his pamphlet."
"I see." Uncle Da nodded, he understood, why he was able to blow things so clearly, it turned out to be a real thing.
As for his father being a Hu Niu, they shouldn't be able to find out. Although Daniu Village is said to be a village, it is very large, with at least dozens of large and small landlords.
The relationships inside are so complicated that I really don't know where to start, because it's a patchwork village, and most of them don't know each other.
The main thing is that these refugees cobbled together this village, which is less than a year old, and the landlords have only recently emerged, how can you make them remember the names of some landlords?
Find out from among these thousands? Even if you can't find it, you can't say that you can't find someone who knows Hu Niu, so you can conclude that what the child said is a lie. Because even if you can't find it, it can be said that the person has found a way out and left this big cow village.
Dahu's law does not explicitly stipulate that villagers cannot move from this village to live in an exceptional village at will, so this is very difficult.
Therefore, in the future, the boy changed from Lu Xianyi to Hu Xianyi. This surname has really been changed, but this surname Hu is still too eye-catching.
Uncle Da still felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't help the young master, so he had to go with him.
"Little master, this is what your father asked me to give you when I left. At the beginning, he said that if something happened to him, he would give it to you. ”
Luda took out a yellowed book from his arms and handed it to Hu Xianyi.
"I don't want it! I don't need what a traitor gave me. ”
Uncle Da looked at him angrily, "Lu Xianyi, do you know what you're talking about?" Are you right about the ancestors of the Lu family? ”
"Uncle Da, my name is Hu Xianyi now, not Lu Xianyi, the Lu family is dead." Hu Xianyi said meaningfully.
Ruda opened his mouth to say another word of reprimand, but he hesitated in his mind and shook his head.
Thanks to the fact that he is still an adult, no child has seen it thoroughly, but this Lu family is extinct, who can take over.
If you want to survive well, you can only hide it from the official family, and you must break off with the Lu family in your heart, otherwise you will get into big trouble.
"Then you have to think about your mother, she is a noble lady, and she is still working as a coolie in that big family, and she can only eat half full food when she gets up early and late."
Uncle Da said bitterly.
"In ten years, I will take my mother back and let him live a good life."
"Then you have to practice martial arts first, and then you will have the ability to bring your mother back and support you well." Ruda continued to persuade.
"No, that's too slow, martial arts are of no use to me now, I need fame."
Speechless, maybe his little young master will say that practicing martial arts is useless.
"I want to learn literature, my current goal is not to practice martial arts, I want to be the magistrate of Lotus County, I want to be the best magistrate of Lotus County!"
This is Hu Xianyi's substitution for the Lu family, a time for Hu Guo, self-redemption, and there is still light in his heart.
……
ps: Originally, I wanted to portray Lu Hu as a person who loves his wife and has a sense of responsibility for his family and the country, but when the country and the family stood in line, he had no choice but to choose the family.
It's a pity that the author's pen power is limited, and he only describes his love for his family and wife, but he can't find an entry point for patriotism.
So you can over-interpret it, interpret Lu Hu as a hypocrite, and cultivate a righteous gentleman.
