Seeing things flying, Li He subconsciously reached out to catch it, his shoulders were not very neat, but it was not difficult to complete the ordinary movements, and after the things were started, they found that one was a cake with pickled eggs, and the other was a gourd filled with water.
Now there are not many people on the road, after the chaos of the past few days, people with horses have long fled, and people without horses have no ability to leave, although Zhengjiaji is a place that has been destroyed, it is not completely destroyed, many people subconsciously come here to find a chance to live or make a fortune, so after leaving Zhengjiaji for a distance, there is no one on the road, and it is safe to stop at this time.
After Li He got the drinking water, he couldn't care about thanking him, and he ate it directly there, and it could be seen that he had suffered a lot in the past few days.
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun turned over and dismounted, Zhou Qingyun took Qin Qin out of the basket, asked the girl to go not far away, and then waited for Li He to finish eating.
"How's it going at home?" This is Li He's first question after eating, he was very frightened when he asked this sentence, this expression can be understood by everyone, on the one hand, there is no hope, on the other hand, there is still a bit of luck.
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while, and finally Zhu Da spoke: "Everyone in the village has been killed, and there is no one alive except us." โ
Li He was stunned for a moment after hearing this expected answer, and randomly covered his face and cried, at this time, Qin Qin had already rushed back, seeing Li He like this, the girl could also figure out cause and effect,. At first, I wanted to go up to comfort me, but I couldn't help crying before I could move.
At this time, he shouldn't stop on the side of the road to vent his feelings, but he really wanted to stop Li He and Qin Qin's crying, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun couldn't bear it, so they waited for a while, Li He barely controlled his emotions, he wiped a few handfuls of his hands on his face, and his tears made his dirty face spent.
"Young Master Da...... Zhu Da...... Da Ye ...... "Li He changed his title a few times, Zhou Qingyun's brows furrowed, but Zhu Da's expression was as usual, he could roughly guess what Li He was thinking, the first one was the old title, but thinking of the loss of the industry of Baibao Village and the new village by the river, then the current Zhu Da is a poor boy, that Qin Xiucai is far away in the sky, and he can't count on it for a while, his own family is the son of the general banner, and his status is much higher, so he called Zhu Da, but immediately thought that now he can only rely on Zhu Da, and in this case, all the reliance is destroyed, Zhu Da, who was very good in martial arts and brains in front of him, and was fully clothed, was really worth relying on, and immediately changed to a more respectful title.
If he had changed others, Zhu Da would not have thought about it so much, but this Li He is a natural businessman, and after seeing the scene in the Zheng family in the past few years, his thoughts have become more and more different, and the second son of the Zongqi family can really think about it so comprehensively.
Of course, Li He's "master" exit is probably also to determine who to follow in the future, at least in the next period of time.
"Say whatever you want to say, don't toss around the title." Zhu Da reprimanded impatiently, but this invisible attitude made Li He a lot more relaxed.
"Da Ye, how did you deal with the aftermath of my father, eldest brother and younger sister?" Li He regained some composure and asked in a muffled voice.
The major event of life and death, and the aftermath of the dearest, anyone will ask, mentioning this, everyone's mood will not be good, Zhu Da said astringently: "Time is urgent, there are many dangers, like my father and mother and master, they are all incinerated in the village with fire, where is their hometown, the ashes can be integrated with the countryside, and it is reasonable to get by." โ
Hearing this answer, Li He was silent for a moment, and replied in a hoarse voice: "It can only be like this, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid you would be exposed to the wilderness, which would be a big unfilial piety." โ
Zhu Da's parents and master were also cremated, and the ashes were not brought out, Li He, who knew this, was balanced in his heart, and there would be no resentment, Zhu Da's answer was skillful, but others didn't hear it.
"How did Zheng Jiaji get knocked down, it is said that the movements of the Tartar horse team cannot be concealed from the lookout and spies, and the door can be sealed before they come, and it will also allow the villagers to resist, how can the cavalry of the Tartars be opened without great effort, but it has only been a few days, and it was opened on the same day?" Juda asked his own question.
Speaking of this, Li He couldn't help but shudder, but his face became a little hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Who would have thought that the Tartars would use tricks, they were actually cunning like this, Da Ye, a few days after you and Yun Ye left, there was a team of officers and soldiers who came to our Zheng family set, and the Zheng family was entertained with delicious food and drink, who would have thought that these officers and soldiers were pretending to be Tartars, after the team of Tartars came, they opened the door inside and outside, and when the team rushed in, everything was too late." โ
As he spoke, there was a crying tone in Li He's voice, Zhou Qingyun also gritted his teeth when he heard it, he had experienced those things in Baibao Village, and he could naturally understand Zheng Jiaji's routine, this "Tartar" who pretended to be an official soldier was a real official and military officer nine times out of ten.
"There are a lot of people here, and the officials and soldiers can't act recklessly, so they have to make a disguise for themselves, and there are excuses to explain afterwards, but if you know these things, you will cause trouble, so there is no need to let Li He know."
Taking advantage of Li He's crying, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun whispered a few words, Zhou Qingyun obviously wanted to expose the truth, but Zhu Da hurriedly stopped him.
Li He couldn't control his emotions anymore, he couldn't stop crying here, Qin Qin was also crying, the girl's father was not affected by this disaster, but none of the servants of the Qin family were spared, these people were equivalent to Qin Qin's family, watching her grow up, getting familiar with each other, and getting along day and night.
"Don't cry, don't hurt your body." Juda said something, but no one listened.
"Stop! We still have to hurry, the dead are dead, we have to live well, and if we don't stop, I'll start beating people! This time, Zhu Da shouted directly.
Qin Qin and Li He rarely saw Zhu Da being irritable and angry, and this kind of attack frightened them, and they immediately controlled their emotions a little.
Zhu Da sighed, stroked the girl's hair, motioned for Qin Qin to return to the basket, and gave her a few more snacks before turning to Li He, who was at a loss.
The current Li He is indeed very dazed and panicked, on the one hand, he is glad that he has met an acquaintance for the rest of his life, and on the other hand, he is worried that he will be abandoned by Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, and the other party obviously does not value him too much.
In such a mood, the grief caused by the murder of his parents and brother and sister has been put on the back burner, Li He wanted to do something, but found that he couldn't do anything, he always felt like an adult, and he did have his own way of speaking in the adult circle, but when facing Zhu Da, Li He always felt that he was a complete weakling, although he was very unconvinced at first, but the more he came later, the more helpless he realized the reality.
In terms of identity, the second son of the general banner is indeed more decent than the military man, but in fact, the difference is very small, it is impossible to take life and death, at most it is a rough voice, in terms of force, he has heard his father say that Zhu Da's murderous spirit, Zhou Qingyun's archery skills are also good, in terms of business, who he worshipped in the glorious days of Zheng Jiaji, these Li He understands very well, so no matter what he thinks in his heart, he puts his posture very low.
Nothing can be compared, and now there is nothing to be done, the whole village is dead, and even the friendship of the villagers can't be taken out, so Li He is very frightened, his current fate and even life and death are completely controlled by others, he can only wait for the result, and there is no possibility of any impact.
Li He's mind turned quickly, and he also thought of all kinds of worst-case possibilities, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.
"Erhe, we are going to Huairen County next, we will take you there, we will give you food and drink, but you can't ride a horse, if there are thieves to intercept and attack, Qingyun and I will fight, and we will protect you, but if there are too many thieves and too strong, Qingyun and I will take Qin Qin to go first, and your life depends on yourself."
Hearing Zhu Da say this, Li He was stunned at first, he didn't expect Zhu Da to say it so directly, but Li He also knew that this was much better than the worst he expected, at least there was some hope in it, if there was no dry food and water provided by Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, and without the armed protection provided by them, what would be the result in such a chaotic situation, it was terrifying to think about it.
Li He was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Master Da, why do you have to say it so directly, can I not listen?" Am I entitled not to listen now? โ
"It's not whether you want it or not, it's just my arrangement." Juda replied unceremoniously.
Li He wanted to smile bitterly, but he couldn't laugh, but this is also a fact that cannot be denied, now he doesn't have any decisive capital, and after a little silence, he said: "Da Ye, then when will we leave......
"You used to call me Young Master Da, and when you shouted it in a joking tone, but now you call me Master Da solemnly, presumably because you feel that you can't do anything now, and if you want to live, you have to rely on me and Qingyun, so be respectful, yes or no?"
This question is more direct, and it hits Li He's heart, but this makes Li He a little unbearable, he has given up a lot of things in order to survive, but this is to tear the last point apart, Li He really can't help it.
"Now there are only three of us left in Baibao Village, we should take care of each other and help each other, if we are separated again, the spirit of the family and the villagers in the sky will not tolerate us, and we ourselves are sorry for ourselves, Li He, how about the three of us as brothers, after overcoming this difficult situation in front of us, we will live and die together for the rest of our lives!"
