Chapter 44: Qin Nu-Zhuang

Zhao Zheng sat up suddenly, looked around with great vigilance, and then shouted in a low voice, "Who is calling me?" ”

"Childe, here...... Here......"

In the reeds, I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in tattered clothes with a dirty face waving to Zhao Zheng incessantly. Zhao Zheng didn't know this boy who looked as thin as firewood, but seeing that he seemed to know himself, he knew that this person must be very familiar with the dead Ying Zheng. Without thinking much about it, Zhao Zheng picked up the bundle of firewood and walked towards the boy.

Throwing the bundle of firewood to the ground at random, Zhao Zheng asked, "Are you ......?"

The boy couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and a trace of sorrow crept up on his already unusually thin face, "Childe, you ...... You're not going to just forget about the little slave, are you? The little slave is strong! ”

In Zhao Zheng's view, "little slave" seems to be more of an ancient young woman calling herself, but now listening to a man calling himself a "little slave" can't help but feel a little awkward.

"Strong?"

"I'll go, the name is good, but it's a little unworthy ......," Zhao Zheng quipped in his heart.

"Uh...... I don't have any impressions......" Zhao Zheng scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment.

As soon as Zhuang heard Zhao Zheng say this, his eyes, which were originally quite godly, instantly dimmed a lot. He stroked Zhao Zheng's head very distressedly, and scolded with hatred on his face: "Damn, those Zhao ruffians will bully the two of us, and the little slave has not dared to go on since the last time we were beaten." I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect them to beat you like this! ”

As Zhuang spoke, tears fell down his eyes.

"Alas...... It turned out to be Yingzheng's kid's brother and brother! Alas......"

Zhao Zheng saw that Zhuang was crying sadly, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Uh...... Belch...... Hey, out of the way...... Out of the way...... I'm not doing this right now. ”

Although he said so, Zhao Zheng sighed in his heart.

"You forgot about the little slave and said it wouldn't get in the way! Woohoo......"

Seeing that Zhao Zheng said this, he thought that he was trying to comfort him, and he couldn't help crying even more sadly.

Zhao Zheng's face was a little embarrassed when he saw this, and he smiled bitterly and said, "I really forgot everything after I woke up, and I really don't have any impression of you." Not...... Why don't you help me reminisce about my memories? ”

Zhuang looked at Zhao Zheng, shook his head after a moment of silence and replied: "The little slave doesn't know how to help the son recall, if you want to know anything, just ask, the little slave will tell you everything if he knows." ”

Zhao Zheng took a deep breath when he heard this, to be honest, there are not many records of Yingzheng in his childhood, only that he can be regarded as a childhood tragedy in the days of Zhao State.

"Hmm......"

Zhao Zheng frowned, rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then asked a question that seemed to Zhuang to be an idiot: "What's your surname?" ”

This question is a normal thing for Zhao Zheng, who met Zhuang for the first time, but every word is like a knife when Zhuang listens to it.

"Childe, let's ...... We are fellow villagers, we are both old Qin people! Woo woo...... "Zhuang grabbed Zhao Zheng's hand and cried and shouted.

Zhao Zheng naturally knew that he was leaving the blood of the Qin people now, and he was not surprised by what Zhuang said.

Zhao Zheng looked at Zhuang and asked, "Uh...... And then what...... What's your last name? ”

Zhuang replied with tears streaming down his face: "The slave of the little slave family, where could there be any name? This 'strong' was given to the little slave by Old Doctor Liu! ”

"Oh......"

Hearing what Zhuang said, Zhao Zheng suddenly realized why the boy in front of him called himself a "little slave".

"You said you haven't been back to the city for two months, so how anxious your family should be! And didn't your master go out of the city to look for you? Zhao Zheng asked.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Zhao Zheng's words obviously asked Zhuang's sore spot, and as soon as his voice fell, Zhuang couldn't cry and said: "Little slave...... The little slave family was beaten to death by the Zhao people in the city during the Battle of Changping! The little slave was only two years old at the time, if it wasn't for the old doctor to take him in, how could the little slave survive until now! ”

"Shhh...... Since he was taken in by the old man of the medicine...... You have become his subordinate, and it is said that ordinary people should not dare to bully you! ”

Seeing that Zhao Zheng was a little rude to Old Doctor Liu, he wiped his snot fiercely and said excitedly: "The old doctor has a great kindness to the son and the little slave for a lifetime, and the son should respect the old doctor!" ”

Zhao Zheng was very surprised and looked at Zhuang who was slightly angry. He knew that the old man was a rare good person, and this was the main reason why he chose to fight with him after he noticed that Old Doctor Liu was secretly investigating him. It's just that he didn't expect that the white-bearded old man who looked extremely ordinary could be so popular, thinking of this, Zhao Zheng suddenly respected this old man surnamed Liu.

"In this environment, in this context, the slaves can be grateful...... Hiss...... This man is indeed an extremely rare and benevolent person! ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng was suddenly a little glad that he didn't rashly attack Old Doctor Liu.

After Zhuang finished speaking, he knew that he was a little rude, so he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "The little slave shouldn't talk to Gongzi like this, and I hope Gongzi will blame him!" ”

For the first time in his life, Zhao Zheng was bowed down by others, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart. In a hurry, he helped Zhuang up, and then said: "Zhuang, I don't care about the others, but you can't kneel down in the future with me, you have to remember that 'there is gold under the man's knees'!" ”

"But...... But that's normal! Childe, no matter how you say it, it is the blood of our Qin nobles, and the little slave is a slave, so it is a matter of course to kowtow to your son! ”

"No, no, no...... Zhuang, you remember, no matter what my identity is in the future, you will always be my brother, my eldest brother, you know? There is no distinction between high and low in my place, we are human relations, we are equal! ”

Zhao Zheng shook his head, and then said seriously.

Zhao Zheng's words were like a bolt from the blue for Zhuang, who was a slave of the family, he never expected that Zhuang, who was a nobleman, would say such a thing to himself.

"It seems that Zhang Kuina's bastard is too ruthless this time, woo...... Childe's head must have been broken, and they all started talking nonsense...... Woo-woo-woo......" Zhuang whimpered.

He didn't seem to appreciate Zhao Zheng's "grace" Zhuang, and at this time he thought that Zhao Zheng's brain was completely broken, and he was so bad that he began to talk nonsense. Zhao Zheng thought that the little slave in front of him would be grateful for his actions, but Zhuang's reaction made him suddenly feel a blockage in his heart.

"I'll ......"

Zhao Zheng sighed helplessly in his heart.

In fact, Zhao Zheng also understands that in an era of alternating slave society and feudal society, the word "equality" is talked about, not to mention what will happen to the upper nobles, even the common people and slaves at the bottom who are used to being oppressed cannot understand it.

"It seems that you really have to pay attention to the limitations of the times! Alas...... Anyway, there's no urgency in this matter. ”

Zhao Zheng picked his eyes and looked frightened and confused, and smiled helplessly, and then said secretly in his heart: "It seems that you really have to pay attention to the limitations of the times when doing things!" Alas...... Anyway, there's no urgency in this matter. ”

"Uh...... Hehe...... Belch...... By the way, how did your family come to Zhao? Zhao Zheng changed the subject.

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard this, and he found that Zhuang's eyes had changed slightly when he looked at him at this time. Coughing very embarrassedly, Zhao Zheng hurriedly "explained": "Uh...... That, I mean, who did your family do things for when they were in the Qin State? ”

"Hmm...... The specific situation of the little slave is not clear, but the old doctor Liu once told the little slave that the little slave's family used to be a slave created by Daliang of the Qin State! ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang was so proud that he was the great good man of the Qin State. Zhao Zheng couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw this, and he suddenly realized that it was simply a mistake for him to talk about "class equality" in this era.

Just when Zhao Zheng was thinking, an extremely contemptuous laugh suddenly came from the reeds: "Hmph, isn't it just that Qin Daliang has been a stinky slave who is not as good as cattle and horses, what are you arrogant?" ”

The words fell, and out of the reeds came a sturdy young man carrying a willow basket that was not quite commensurate with himself.

I didn't see his body, only heard his voice, Zhuang's originally arrogant face turned white in an instant, and his legs trembled without obeying. He didn't even get three seconds before the filthy strip of cloth on Zhuang's body was soaked with his own urine.

"Humph!"

A young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old looked at Zhao Zheng and the others contemptuously while chewing on the reed root in his mouth, and when he saw Zhuang being so frightened that he peed his pants, he glanced at Zhuang with disdain.

The young man took his eyes off the soulless Zhuang, looked Zhao Zheng up and down, and then said provocatively: "Yo, it seems that your kid is durable enough!" It seems that the last time it was lighter......"

Zhao Zheng didn't know this person, but after listening to this person's tone, Zhao Zheng concluded that this person was the Zhang Kui that Zhao Ji said.

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Zheng looked this person up and down with cold eyes, and then asked.

Zhao Zheng's actions frightened Zhuang so much that his soul was almost scared away, and then he hurriedly and secretly gave Zhao Zheng a look to signal him not to be impulsive.

"Huh?"

"Smack!"

The young man found that Zhuang was giving Zhao Zhengzhi a look through the afterglow, and without saying a word, he raised his hand and shook Zhuang's big-eared scraper and scolded viciously: "Damn, even a dead slave who is not as good as a dog!" Lao Tzu doesn't care about you, you have nothing to do, what a cheap bone! ”

Zhuang fell to the ground, covering his face, moaning and groaning in pain, and his cheeks instantly swelled.

Looking at Zhuang who was curled up on the ground with his face covered, Zhao Zheng was furious. For Zhao Zheng, hitting his own person in front of him is no different from slapping his face nakedly! Zhao Zheng was in a good mood today and didn't want to use a killer for this, so he immediately said expressionlessly: "What do you want to do?" ”

The young man pointed to a bundle of good firewood beside Zhao Zheng and said arrogantly, "Hehe...... What do you want to do? What does the master want to do, what can you, a little wild species, ask? But today the master is in a good mood, but he can tell you about this little bastard! You leave the firewood for my master, and then you can get out of the way if you learn a few dog barks! ”

Zhang ...... Zhang Kui, you ...... You deceive people too much! Zhuang, who fell to the ground, covered his face and scolded vaguely.

Zhang Kui is the person who was looking for medicine collection by Dr. Liu. Born and raised in Handan, his father lost a leg when he was young for participating in the Battle of Changping, after which Zhang Kui became a great hater of the Qin people, like the rest of the Zhao people. When he learned that Zhao Zheng and Zhuang were both in the blood of the Qin people, he often gathered a group of children who also hated the Qin people extremely much to bully them. When he saw that the adults not only did not stop it, but bewitched and instigated it, Zhang Kui became even more violent.

Doctor Liu originally thought that it was impossible for Zhang Kui and Zhao Zheng to meet in Handan because of the time difference, but it backfired, because Zhao Zheng was greedy for fun and delayed time, so that what was impossible happened happened......
