Zaohong immediately carried a burden and silver in it, so it was not difficult to meet the account. The two of them settled Li Yan and sat in one place with frowns.

The little girl pouted: "Sister Hong, I was separated from everyone, where can I find them?" ”

Sister Hong shook her head: "The red family class is scattered, those officials and soldiers already know that we are harboring the thief party, and the officials will definitely want us." Walking with the signboard of the red family class again, that is not good. ”

The little girl said, "Then what will we do in the future?" ”

Sister Hong frowned: "I don't know for a while, let's send this kid away first." ”

At this time, I listened to Li Yan answer: "Don't bother, my injury is not too serious, but I have lost a little more blood, as long as I recuperate for a few days, I can walk." ”

The two girls were startled, and the little girl jumped in front of the bed: "You guy, you don't squeak when you wake up, fortunately we didn't say anything out of the ordinary." Li Yan said lightly: "But you have already done something out of the ordinary, the girl is right, save me, you are harboring the thief party." ”

Sister Hong chuckled: "Hiding is harboring, they can't catch me, it's all right." And you haven't been painted, and you haven't engraved the word thief on your face, what are you afraid of. ”

Li Yan asked: "The girl's life-saving grace, I will report it later, but I don't know the girl's name yet?" ”

The little girl glanced at Sister Hong, and smiled: "I told you, what can I do?" How are you going to repay my sister Hong for saving her life? ”

Li Yan thought for a while: "The girl's great kindness can't be repaid now, if you can not die in the future, if you can do something small, you will definitely ......"

The little girl interjected: "You must marry our Sister Hong...... yes......"

Li Yan suddenly made a big red face, there was no way to answer, Sister Hong was also flushed, jumped up and pounced, and grabbed the little girl's neck: "You little hoof, I called you nonsense......" The little girl shouted while begging for mercy: "Oh no, murder, the husband and wife entered the cave room, and the matchmaker threw it over the wall......"

The two girls quarreled for a while, and then they stopped arguing, and Sister Hong gave the little girl a chestnut: "Besides, this kind of impertinence, I really don't spare you." We are in danger right now, so we need to be careful in everything. ”

The little girl also understood, and kept nodding.

Li Yan said: "The names of the two, if it's convenient, you can tell them." ”

Sister Hong smiled: "What's inconvenient, my stage name is Red Lady, and her name is Xiaoqing." When we go to the rivers and lakes, we all call our stage names, as for the original names, alas...... Girl's house, what's the name......"

Xiaoqing jumped to the head of the bed and glared: "Yes, our Sister Hong is famous." Sixty-three provinces in the south and north, all the rivers and lakes know her. ”

The red lady intercepted: "Okay...... A person who runs the rivers and lakes, what a boast! Xiaoqing smiled and asked, "We said the name, what about you?" ”

As soon as Li Yan signed up, the red lady and Xiaoqing suddenly glanced at each other, with a surprised look on their faces: "Li Yan? Could it be that you are Li Yan who wrote the article on King Qin's discussion? Li Yan nodded: "That's exactly what I wrote." How do you know? ”

Xiao Qing snorted, which startled Li Yan: "You are that young talent...... Now in the northern provinces, which one doesn't know you! Sister Wenhong read it to us, it's so good, like a poem. ”

The red lady glanced at Li Yan, suddenly turned red, and hurriedly turned her head. She really didn't expect that she would have a chance to save this little talent, since she saw the article, the red lady was impressed by Li Yan's literary talent, and guessed the appearance of this talented man more than once, and the appearance of Li Yan in her imagination was almost not much different from the real person. That suave and extraordinary temperament is really unforgettable.

Li Yan smiled bitterly: "Although I, Li Yan, am famous, but in the end, I am a chaotic party, as long as you two hand me over to the government, there will definitely be a large amount of silver." ”

The red lady's face suddenly tightened, and she said sharply: "What do you think my red lady is, if you want to offer an official, I would have offered it a long time ago, and I still have to wait until now?" After saying that, he went back to his room in a rage.

Xiaoqing stretched out his hand and knocked on Li Yan's head, made a grimace, and ran out.

Li Yan was lying on the bed alone, but his heart collapsed, this sentence was a temptation, although it was a bit excessive, but he understood that knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, this kind of artist who walks the rivers and lakes, it is not easy to make money, once he has the opportunity to make a fortune, what kind of things can he do, it is really hard to say.

For the whole day, the red lady didn't come to see him, but Xiaoqing ran back and forth to deliver food and treat his injuries. The wound medicine of the Hongjia class is extremely effective, and after only two sessions, the wound will be scabbed.

The next day, Li Yan was able to struggle to get out of bed, and then the red lady came over to take a look and said lightly: "Your injury will heal soon." When the injury is healed, you can go. ”

Li Yan didn't speak, just looked at her and smiled. Seeing that the red lady blushed, she took a sip: "Why did you save you?" Got into a big trouble...... Li Yan sighed: "Yes, for me, the Red Family Class has been ruined, in my opinion, the two girls should go home quickly." ”

Xiaoqing snorted: "Go home? Of course, it's good to have a home, but we go to the rivers and lakes, and the four seas are ......."

Li Yan sighed: "If that's the case, what will the two of you plan to do in the future?" Continue to walk the rivers and lakes? When the red lady thought of this, she was also worried: "When the red family class was the most popular, there were more than 40 people, and it was passed to me, and there were more than 30 at most, but now it is ......" She patted Xiaoqing: "Only you and me......"

Xiaoqing was a little sad, her mouth pursed, and tears flowed down.

Li Yan hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... If you are separated, it's not that you can't find it, and you will eventually be reunited in the future. The important thing is that for now, you have to find a place to go. ”

The red lady nodded: "But we ...... There really is nowhere to go. ”

Li Yan said sincerely: "If the two of you don't dislike it, when you find the eldest brother, you can arrange it for you, and you can buy a house and buy some property in the city, so that you don't have to go to the art anymore and suffer from the sun and rain." What do you think? ”

The red lady sneered: "No matter how bad our art is, we don't need others to pity us...... You give us benefits, don't you want to pull us together to rebel? ”

Li Yan laughed: "At present, the government is corrupt, the government is not organized, in the year of the great drought in Shaanxi, there is no grain harvest, and many villages are already hell on earth. But despite this, taxes have increased unabated, large gentry have seized land and do not pay money and grain, officials collect taxes from the people, and they have robbed bandits. ”

Xiaoqing nodded again and again: "That's it, we have seen a lot of rivers and lakes, and in many places, the entire village is gone, and it is all gone." Because one family fled, his family's taxes had to be spread over the other families, so everyone fled. We also saw many children starving to death being devoured by wild dogs...... That ...... situation," she said, shrinking back, as if feeling cold.

The red lady's face also showed compassion: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, year after year, this Ming Dynasty ...... Is it really going to die? ”

Li Yan said: "Death or not, not in the sky, but in people." In my opinion, within 20 years, the Ming Dynasty will die. Well, there are these reasons, let me tell you, you listen to whether it is reasonable. ”

He slowly sat back on the bed and stroked his stomach: "First, the officials are corrupt. The common people already hate the government to the core, and as long as someone pulls the flag and rebels, they often respond to every call. Second, land annexation. Most of the country's land has been acquired by local tyrants, and the people have no land to cultivate, so naturally they cannot pay taxes. However, the local tycoons falsely reported the acres of land, colluded with corrupt officials, and did not pay taxes, so the state could not collect money and grain, and if it could not collect money and grain, it could only increase the taxes of the people, and so on in a vicious circle. Third, internal worries and external difficulties. Shaanxi Province has been on fire everywhere, and it has developed to Shanxi, and it seems that in the future, Henan, Gansu, Sichuan and other provinces will also be affected. Although the officers and troops are strong, they can't be suppressed for a while. What's more serious is the external trouble, since Yuan Inspector was killed, Houjin has been able to drive straight in, and the outside of the gate is no longer owned by my Ming Dynasty, and now there is a fire at both ends, and the government is at a loss. Fourth, the number of days is inevitable. Whenever a dynasty is about to perish, a vision must come from heaven. For example, this year's consecutive years of drought are extremely rare. The heavens will send a sign, and the world will change greatly. Therefore, I said, in less than twenty years, the Ming Dynasty will perish......"
