Chapter 266: Reunion after a long absence
Zeng Ershui took the women and children in the village to board the carriage, everyone's faces were a little heavy, after all, this place is a place to give birth to themselves, and now that they are gone, they don't know when they will come back.
But even if you don't leave, it's hard to survive here, so many people have died in the village, and every family has almost exhausted their wealth for the people who have passed away, and everything that can be sold has been sold, and everything that can be demolished has been demolished, and the village is full of desolation.
"Brother Ershui, are we coming back?" Xiaohua asked quietly
"When there is no war, we will come back," Zeng Ershui said, touching his head.
No war? When exactly will there be no war? In Ershui's heart, there is no answer at all.
Nowadays, there are constant disputes in various places, all the mountains are desperately pulling people, there are people everywhere, the peasants' cultivated land is overgrown with weeds, and the male laborers in the family are all pulled to fight, where are there still people to plow the land.
The surrounding villages are left with the old, weak, sick and disabled, and without labor to plough the land, there is no income, and life is getting worse and worse, and more and more people are dying of hunger.
In order to survive, sell your children and daughters, and live for a long time, it's really hard for the people to make a living!
"Brother Ershui, isn't there a war where we go?" Xiaohua then asked
"Aha, the old man said, it's a paradise, there is no war, and life will be very stable", Ershui said with a smile
"Is this true?" Xiaohua had a happy smile in her eyes
"It must be true, can this be fake?" Ershui said with a smile
"That's great, will I be able to eat enough in the future and not go hungry again?" Xiaohua asked
"Sister Xiaohua, don't worry, is there a brother? I won't let you go hungry," Ershui said
Now that he has no relatives, only Xiaohua and Xiuqin, these two are the hope of his own survival.
"Ershui, my attitude towards you before ......", Xiuqin looked at Ershui and said embarrassedly, thinking that she had hurt Ershui so ignorantly before, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Xiuqin, the past, let it pass, you couldn't help yourself before, there is no way, I don't blame you", Ershui said indifferently
"Alas, Ershui, I knew that things would develop like this, I might as well grit my teeth and insist on resisting," Xiuqin said through gritted teeth
"Sister, if you grit your teeth and persevere, then I won't have a chance to be your sister", Xiaohua looked at Xiuqin and said
"Haha, it's all fate, fate," Ershui said with a smile
"Maybe," Xiuqin said embarrassedly
"Brother Ershui, you treat me as your own sister, you can't have a sister and forget me", Xiaohua said
"You ghost girl, what's going on in your head", Xiuqin said by tapping Xiaohua's head
"Sister Xiaohua, don't worry, Brother Ershui is not that kind of person, my sister is gone, you will be my sister in the future, I will take good care of you, don't worry", Zeng Ershui said
"I knew that Brother Ershui was the best person in the world," Xiaohua said with a smile
"Your little mouth is the sweetest", Xiuqin said with a smile as she looked at Xiaohua
Under the leadership of the old man and Zuo Fei, the group set off in a mighty way, Xiao Sun and others knew how to do martial arts, Zuo Fei escorted the carriage, and other people who didn't know kung fu followed or drove the carriage with the car and followed the old man.
No one in the carriage spoke, all of them looked serious, and they all had no idea what would happen on the road ahead. At this time, all hopes were pinned on the old man, and it was a helpless bet.
Staying here will definitely die, and when General Zhao comes back, he finds that the surname Wang is dead, and he has lost eight carts of grain and grass, he will definitely be furious, looking for the whereabouts of this group of gang leaders everywhere, everyone is registered in the Black Flag Army, and it is simple to check the residence, and it will be possible to find out all of them in one day's work, and then it will not be one person who will die, but the whole family will suffer.
The old man led everyone with a serious expression, as long as they haven't reached the forest, the group of people behind them will be in trouble, and only when they reach the depths of the forest, this group of people can be considered safe.
"Xiaofei, you take people and clean up all the marks of our carriage, and don't leave any traces," the old man commanded
"Old man, this is not like your style, why did you become so careful", Zuo Fei said with a smile
"You nonsense, the old man didn't bring the rainstorm pear blossoms, I met so many troops, I can escape, the group of people behind me, but I don't have that ability, since the old man promised to take them into the mountain, then I have to protect their safety", the old man said as he drank the wine in the gourd
"I didn't expect your heart to suddenly become so good", Zuo Fei said with a smile
"You little rabbit cub, you have no conscience, what's wrong with Lao Tzu, who helped you break through the bottleneck in your kid's kung fu? It's just that I don't bother to ask about those things in the mountains, there is a boy from the Ruan family, and you will help take care of it, just do it, I can't do it so much, I really can't do it, I will naturally help, your weapons are not all made by me and Old Man Wang, I really have no conscience", the old man glared at Zuo Fei and said
"Oh, it's over, I forgot to give this dagger to my stupid apprentice," the old man snapped his head and exclaimed
"It's all your fault for you little rabbits, you distracted me, really, I was going to give this dagger to my stupid apprentice to defend himself?" The old man said to himself
"What good treasure do you have, I'll keep it for my brother-in-law", Zuo Fei leaned in and said with a smile
"You think it's beautiful, besides, you don't need this thing," the old man said as he looked at Zuo Fei and put the dagger into his arms again
"Shall I just take a look? I don't rob it, what are you hiding", Zuo Fei was very curious, and shouted to see it
"You have a good time with your nine-section keel whip, don't be so curious, this is just a soft sword", the old man said with a smile, this is a soft sword made of special materials, very soft, but extremely sharp.
This is a weapon specially designed by the old man for Kong Yiji, this kid is unwilling to practice martial arts, this soft sword can save Lao Kong's life when necessary. Now in this year, if you want to mix in the rivers and lakes, you can't really mix it up without a little baby self-defense.
Kong Yiji is his only apprentice, his talent is so high, in more than a year, he has learned all his medical skills, and he has also saved the Ruan family kid countless times, if this kid knows how to use weapons again, then in the future, he will definitely become a great person.
For the safety of his apprentice, the old man racked his brains, and Wang blacksmith repeatedly designed, repeatedly scrutinized, only to determine the form of this Tiangang snake sword, using meteorite and special materials, after Wang blacksmith's superb tempering skills, to create this Tiangang snake sword, I wanted to meet the stupid apprentice, and handed it to him personally, but I forgot about it.
