Chapter 11: Sneering
Zhu Chongba now feels that his future is a smooth road, and it seems that doing things is not as difficult as imagined?
In his imagination, it seemed that he could reach the pinnacle of life without much effort.
Suddenly, the clear sky turned cloudy and the wind rose! Not good! Zhu Chongba thought of the cattle that were in the cattle farm, if it rained this time, wouldn't the feed be soaked?
He didn't care about going to the housekeeper, so Zhu Chongba immediately rushed back to the cattle farm.
On the way, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Zhu Chongba wants to rush back to see the situation of those cows, and how is the situation of the two children?
This is the first time he has encountered such a thing, and it is really unpredictable!
If those fodder are in the soup, it will definitely affect Zhu Chongba, although this is not his responsibility, but the landlord will definitely be angry with him.
Now Zhu Chongba has no way to do anything independently, he still has to rely on the landlord to give him a little benefit, this is also no way, people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads.
As long as Zhu Chongba saw his little hands and feet, he was speechless for a while.
Although in ancient times, someone became the prime minister at the age of twelve, but this has nothing to do with Zhu Chongba.
Zhu Chongba went to private school for a few days, but within a few days, he dropped out of school and went home because his family had no money. Therefore, the original Zhu Chongba can't even write his name, of course, the current one will definitely be able to write his name, but he can't show it now.
Soon arrived at the cattle farm, Zhu Chongba now wants to scold the landlord Liu Fu's mother, why is there such an open-air cattle farm.
Hurrying slowly, Zhu Chongba finally arrived at the cattle farm, but after arriving, he found that the sky here was still good, although there was a wind but a breeze, it was really unexpected.
Zhu Chongba is thankful in his heart, these two children are helping him, if there is something, the landlord must be looking for his business, not someone else's business.
"Chongba, we have fed these cows, these cows have eaten so much, and we have eaten all the ingredients we brought today." Tang He said.
"Really? It's really great. Let's lead these cows to shelter from the wind and rain, quickly! Zhu Chongba said.
"Okay." Tang He, another child, and of course, Zhu Chongba, led all the cattle to a safe place, and transported all the remaining feed to a safe place.
As soon as they finished their busy work here, the sky changed, and it became the same as the sky that Zhu Chongba saw over there just now.
Zhu Chongba was no longer in a hurry at this time, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
A few children, next to the cow, were chattering.
"Heavy eight, it's so dangerous! If we are a little later, it is estimated that the big thing will be bad, these cows are estimated to become soup cows, the old cows are estimated to be fine, and those calves are estimated to be sick. Tang He said.
"Yes! A few of us will also become soup chickens. Another child said.
In this era, there are many children in each family, but some of them die before they reach adulthood.
Zhu Chongba's family is a typical example, his uncle and his family have a total of eight men, but later, only Zhu Chongba and his second brother survived, what a tragic thing!
If you want to survive in such an era, you must be able to endure hardships and be in good health, so that you can survive.
Zhu Chongba has a lot on his mind now, there is really no way!
Now that he has seen clearly, it is not easy to change his current situation very quickly, or it is very difficult.
It turned out that thinking about the problem was too simple, and Zhu Chongba thought about all these things.
The heavy rain continued to fall for an hour, and after the rain stopped, it was not long before the landlord Liu Fu sent someone to check on his cattle.
When the visitor saw that the cow was fine, he happily went back to report to the landlord.
Zhu Chongba followed the people and went to see the landlord together.
After listening to what the local lord said, he was very happy in his heart and praised Zhu Chongba greatly.
He was very happy to see the landlord, and then Zhu Chongba struck while the iron was hot, "Master, I want to tell you something!" ”
"What's the matter?" Landlord Liu Fu took a sip of water.
"I want to do bulk trade in grain, I don't know if you're interested?" Zhu Chongba said.
Originally, the landlord Liu Fu was very happy, but after hearing this, he suddenly changed his face, "Chongba, you are a cowherd baby, do your job well, don't think about other things, you can't do it." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhu Chongba wanted to shout out loudly, "I am the emperor, I am the Hongwu Emperor!" You guy don't look down on people! But he didn't say anything.
This is really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi! It's really 30 years! Thirty years later, the Ming Dynasty ruled the world.
The landlord's cynicism did not make Zhu Chongba lose confidence, but made him more firm in his thoughts, and difficulty was the best ladder for Zhu Chongba to move forward.
"How dare you forget the hardships and hardships?" This is what Zhu Yuanzhang said decades later.
His childhood can be said to be cold-toned, and he experienced hardships that ordinary people did not experience, so he had a mind and responsibility that ordinary people did not have.
Once there is a chance, Zhu Chongba will seize the opportunity tightly and never let it slip away from his eyes.
If you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, if you don't become Zhu Chongba, you won't understand Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Chongba will do things slowly now, since this will be fine, then start playing, this is what he has to do at his age.
"Tang He, is there anything interesting around here?" Zhu Chongba asked.
There's a mountain behind here, it's really fun, why don't you check it out?
"That's for sure, let's go!" Zhu Chongba said.
"I'm going too!" Another little boy said.
The three of them went to the back mountain together.
This Fengyang County was called Haozhou in the Yuan Dynasty, and this mountain is the back mountain of Haozhou, and the altitude of this mountain is about three or four hundred meters.
Zhu Chongba and his friends often play in the village, but they have never been to play in the mountains.
At that time, wild boars, and wolves were very common in the mountains and forests, because the ecological protection was very good.
"I was a little scared. I heard that there are wild boars in the mountains, and I am going back. Another child said.
"Then you go! I didn't call you here in the first place. Tang He said angrily.
"Tang He, have you been to this mountain?" Zhu Chongba asked.
"Of course I have been here, I went up the mountain with Master to pick herbs a few days ago." Tang He said.
