Poor, poor, this Da Qin is really poor!

Walking all the way along the street, Chen Xu's nervous mood slowly calmed down.

It has been more than three years since he crossed over to Daqin in a blink of an eye, and he has been working hard non-stop, but what has changed now is only a Qinghe Town, as well as this impoverished Pheasant County, the entire Nanyang and even the entire Daqin There are more than 800 counties in the world, except for some of the original capitals of the Six Kingdoms, which are still prosperous and rich, other places are still poor and make him feel heartbroken.

It will take ten or twenty years or even longer for the people at the bottom of Daqin to slowly become rich.

But it can be seen from the fact that my father has to go from Huaiyin to work on the construction site of Dongfang Road to earn money, as long as there are enough jobs and more job opportunities, the people of Daqin will slowly get rid of this poor life after all.

"Xiao Xu, just turn the corner ahead!" Uncle Ma pointed to the front and said.

"Slow down and stop around the corner!" Chen Xu instructed the guards.

"Yes, Master Hou!"

Everyone began to rein, and then a group of people quickly stopped the street corner.

"This is the foothouse!" Niu Dashi pointed to a small, old-looking yard on the side of the road.

"You're all waiting outside!" Chen Xu turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to a guard, and then followed Niu Dashi and Uncle Ma into the foothouse.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a burlap coat came out of the room and saluted Niu Dashi: "Mo Kai greets Lord Niu!" ”

"Don't be polite, it's good to arrange for the people you take care of!" Niu Dashi nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, Lord Niu, the family is taking good care of them, and they are warming up by the fire inside at this time!"

"That's good, Brother Xu, let's go in!"

"Well, let's go!" Chen Xu was wearing an ordinary sheepskin jacket, with a fur hat, and the guards were all outside, this Mo Kai didn't know Chen Xu's identity, so he didn't care too much about Chen Xu.

"Lord Niu, Chen Hu's family is inside, please!" Mo Kai led the three of them into the door of a house in the backyard of the foot house, and before he could knock on the door, the door creaked open.

A middle-aged man with long hair and a beard walked out, slightly emaciated with a visible scar on his cheek, dark and rough skin, wrinkled at the corners of his eyes, and a long patched burlap coat.

"Brother Ma, Dashi, why are you here when it's so cold!" After a brief pause, the man's face showed a hint of surprise.

Chen Xu deliberately lagged half a step behind and was blocked by Niu Dashi and Uncle Ma, looking at this man up and down with his eyes, his heart not only thumped a few times, but he instantly felt that his mouth was a little dry, and there was a title as if he couldn't help but pop out of his mouth.

The middle-aged man's hand was still on the door, there was an obvious scar on the back of his hand, his palm was rough and his knuckles were wide, and the whole person looked like an extremely ordinary farmer, but Chen Xu could clearly feel that there was a hidden fierce momentum on his body, and Liu Po and many retired soldiers were like them, which was the breath of only those who had killed on the battlefield.

This is my father, Chen Xu was a little distracted in an instant.

"Huzi, who do you think this is?" Uncle Ma let go of his body, Chen Xu and Chen Hu looked at each other, Chen Hu's body shook suddenly, and his eyes showed a strong surprise and couldn't help but exclaim: "You...... You are Xu'er! ”

"Dad~" After holding back for a long time, Chen Xu finally shouted.

From the moment this man opened the door, he felt a kind of blood-connected soul throbbing, coupled with the conversation between Uncle Ma and Chen Hu, Chen Xu instantly confirmed that this middle-aged man was his father who had lost his life for seven years and had not returned home.

"Xu'er~" Chen Hu stepped out of the door, his rough big hand tightly grasped Chen Xu's shoulder, through the huge power and slight tremor from the palm, Chen Xu felt the same excitement and surprise in his father's heart.

"You go first!" Niu Dashi waved Mo Kai away.

"Huzi, it's cold outside, let's go in and talk about it!" Uncle Ma also knew that before the dust settled, Chen Xu didn't want too many people to know, so he walked into the room and said.

"Okay, go in and talk!"

Chen Hu excitedly let go of Chen Xu, the four of them entered the house together, closed the door, and suddenly became much darker in front of him, the room was not too big, the ground was rammed earth, but the days had been long and there were already potholes, a fire pit made of stone bricks, there was wood burning in it, under the red firelight, there was a middle-aged woman, a teenager and a little girl sitting by the fire pit.

Seeing a group of people walk in, the woman and the two children quickly stood up, and the woman's face showed a slight fear and horror, and she held the little girl tightly in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, Dashi and Big Brother Ma have been here twice, and Xin'er and Xiaomi have come to see your brother!" Chen Hu waved his hand to comfort Han Tian and the two children, and then pulled Chen Xu and said.

"Brother Hu, this is the Xiao Xu you mentioned before?" The woman looked at Chen Xu nervously.

"Yes, I'm Chen Xu!" Chen Xu bowed to the woman.

"Could it be...... You are the world-famous Qinghe Marquis Chen Xu? The young man standing next to the woman suddenly stared at Chen Xu and asked.

Chen Xu also looked the young man up and down, then nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I am Chen Xu, the Marquis of Qinghe, I heard that your name is Han Xin?" ”

"Sure enough, it's you, Han Xin has seen my brother!" There was an excited light in the young man's eyes, and he saluted Chen Xu with a fist, although he was only thirteen years old, he looked extremely stable, and he was not frightened by Chen Xu's self-report.

"Qinghe Hou? Who is the Marquis of Qinghe? The woman was confused about the conversation between her son and Chen Xu, she didn't know what the two were talking about, and her son, who had always disliked words, would talk to her husband, a son who had never met before, respectfully and respectfully, as if he had changed a person.

"Sit down first!" Chen Hu already knew Chen Xu's identity, although he didn't have much psychological preparation for Chen Xu's sudden arrival, but he also knew that this matter would be clarified sooner or later, so he personally moved a few small stools and let Chen Xu, Niu, Shima, and Uncle Ma all sit down around the fire pit.

"Xiaomi, mother, hurry up and make a pot of tea!" After sitting down, Chen Hu instructed the woman to make tea, and then several men sat in the fire pit and stared at the red flames and began to be silent.

After half a minute, Uncle Ma spoke: "Huzi, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Chen Hu sighed and shook his head and said, "Xu'er is here today, what should you let me do?" I've already told you the first two times, and I ...... I really can't give up Yingniang and Xiaomi, you ...... Can't you just let me die? ”

Chen Hu is a seven-foot man, and his speech became a little stammering at this time, but this sentence also made Chen Xu feel extremely sour in his heart, and at the same time he couldn't cry or laugh, so he whispered: "Dad, I don't know how you have spent your time outside these years, but I know how I spent my life with my mother and Xing'er, and now my mother is still there, since I already know that you are still alive, I naturally can't treat it as not knowing, you should still go back to see your mother, look at Xing'er, I won't force you to make a choice in this matter, But you can't bear to watch your mother guard us alone and die alone......"

Chen Hu's face twitched slightly, and he lowered his head.

"Huzi, Xiao Xu is right, since you are still alive, how can this matter be regarded as not knowing, at least you have to go back to meet Xiao Xu and his mother, whether you want to go home or not, she must know about this matter, and she must not hide it from her for the rest of her life!" Uncle Ma said.

"Uncle Hu, Brother Xu has now become a Hou Ye, the family can't use up the money, food, clothing, why do you want to do coolies outside like this for a living, as long as you go back, millet and Aunt Tian can naturally be well taken care of, and you will not have to worry about eating, drinking, and living for the rest ......of your life," Niu Dashi also persuaded beside him.

Han Tian, who was making tea next to him, came over with a teapot, knelt in front of Chen Hu and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Hu, you...... You just go home, Sister Jiang must have been waiting at home all these years, I ...... I'll go back to my hometown with Xiao Xin'er......"

"How is that possible?" Chen Hu stood up and pulled Han Tian to his feet.

And Han Xin, who had been standing next to him, suddenly said: "Brother, I heard that you have married three wives, and the emperor has authorized Gu to be his wife, although my mother and father have lived hard over the years, they are also affectionate, the so-called son does not say anything about his father, even if his father and mother did not do it right, but you can't think of any other way for my mother and Aunt Jiang to follow my father together?" ”

"Xin'er, why are you talking to your brother like this?" As a rural woman, Han Tian didn't know anything about state affairs and news, and when she suddenly heard her son say about the emperor, she suddenly felt that Chen Xu's identity was probably terrifying, so she hurriedly scolded Han Xin, and at the same time, Chen Xu's eyes were also full of fear.

"Auntie don't be afraid, Han Xin is right, I can indeed solve this matter, I have no opinion on Aunt Jiang going back, but I need to ask my mother for permission first!"

Chen Xu turned his head to look at Chen Hu when he said this: "Dad, I haven't mentioned this matter to my mother, I still respect your opinion, but you can't just abandon the family, my mother has not been easy these years, if you are willing to go back, I can ask the emperor to let you marry Aunt Jiang as his wife, so that you don't have to worry about it......

"Huzi, Xiao Xu said that you have nothing to hesitate about this part, it is not appropriate to let Hou Ye's father go, you don't enjoy the glory and wealth, do you really want to take your mother-in-law and children around in the cold to beg for food, not to mention that once this matter is known and spread, Xiao Xu will also be accused of poking his backbone......" Uncle Ma stood up and said loudly with his eyes and eyes.

"Uncle Tiger, Uncle Ma is right, if you don't go back, Brother Xu is not a good person, not to mention that you discussed with my father that you wanted to marry Xing'er to me, and when the time comes, I and Xing'er will become biological babies but we won't see my grandfather, you can't bear to see it, right, my father went to war with you, you are back now, we are all happy, but if you don't go home, we can't find anyone if we want to be filial......" Niu Dashi also helped beside him.

Chen Xu put his hand behind his back and gave Niu Dashi a thumbs up, more than a year later, Niu Dashi has now begun to be reborn, speaking one by one, and knowing that he moves with emotion and reason, and has obviously grown a lot.

"Dad, let's go back with my brother!" Han Xin was obviously very satisfied with Chen Xu, the brother who suddenly popped up.

No one is unwilling to climb the high branches, especially in the face of Chen Xu, the legendary immortal disciple and the Marquis of Qinghe, the attraction to him is not ordinary, he has been standing on the side and constantly looking at Chen Xu, as long as he is covered by Chen Xu's brother, I am afraid that his future life will become very comfortable, and he will no longer have to live this kind of poor life without food and clothing.

Chen Hu was silent for a long time, and after some struggle in his heart, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you!" ”

"Without further ado, let's go now, Dashi will go find a carriage first!" Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered.

"Good!" Niu Dashi went out to find a carriage.

Chen Hu also hurriedly packed up his clothes with Han Tian's family, and soon packed up and stopped, that is, two burlap bags, containing clothes on one side and pots and pans on the other, carried by a flat pole, the family's clothes were all patched, they looked quite neat, but they were extremely thin, and they didn't look much different from the homeless.

Going out, the snow particles fluttered on the body in the cold wind, Han Tian's body trembled with millet jelly, Chen Xu took off the leather jacket he was wearing and wrapped it in millet, Niu Dashi also took off his leather jacket for Han Tian's to put on, walked to the door of the foot hut and waited for a while, the middle-aged man named Mo Kai came over in a half-old carriage, the carriage only had one carport, and it was ventilated on all sides, but at present, Pheasant County can only find this kind of carriage that sits on weekdays and pulls goods.

Chen Xu took out two finger-sized gold cakes from his pocket and handed them to Mo Kai: "Thank you for taking care of my father these days, these gold rights should be thanked!" ”

"Ah, thank you, thank you~~"

Mo Kai took the two golden cakes, his tongue was a little knotted with excitement, and then he was busy helping to tie up the salute to the back of the car, and then carried Millet into the car, and after Chen Hu Han Tian and Han Xin also got into the car and sat down, he instructed the horseman to drive carefully on the road.

Chen Xu, Niu Dashi, Uncle Ma and a group of guards also turned over and got on their horses, and then escorted the carriage together to Qinghe Town in the wind and snow.
