After determining the relationship between master and apprentice, the atmosphere became harmonious and relaxed, no matter how Zhu Da's parents calculated, they felt that Zhu Da and his family could not suffer too much, and they really couldn't catch fish, so it was a big deal to go home, or live the same life as before, but with this relationship with the Xiang family, in addition to the illusory inauspiciousness and bad reputation, all kinds of benefits are indispensable, and Xiang Yue Xiangbo made it clear that he would not make a contract document, which made the Zhu family more relieved.

The meal was a happy one, but there was not much wine in the gourd, and Zhu Da's father was just in a daze for a moment after dinner, and then woke up, and sent him to the family, and the family went to bed early.

In the past, Zhu Da was able to fall asleep quickly, but tonight he was very awake and excited, the matter of apprenticeship was originally difficult, he never thought of such a coincidental solution, and finally took a solid step to change his current life, he pondered over and over again, thinking about the possibilities in the future.

Zhu Da's parents also didn't sleep, they only whispered over there, but they didn't mention much about apprenticeship, just said "thief soldier", Zhu Da originally thought that this "thief soldier" was a common name, but from the parents' implicit fear tone, it was not the case at all.

There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Datong border town, close to Shanxi town and Shaanxi three towns are about the same size, in such a military town, deserters are naturally not uncommon, deserters are nothing, and can not stand the fighting and harshness of border towns, want to go elsewhere to ask for a living, there are also people who have committed crimes, want to escape, these people go to their own place, and the military households have nothing to do, but there is nowhere to go to the grass for the sake of the coward, this is the so-called "thief soldiers".

This kind of "thief soldiers" is very harmful, and the people who run the single gang are better, if they gather in groups, it will be even more troublesome, they have all been in the army, and they have some ability to fight and fight in battle, and they have often experienced the battlefield and seen blood, and the people of the local government and county are not their opponents at all, not to mention the ordinary people and military households of hundreds of households in ordinary villages.

Desertion is a big crime, after being caught, they are often beheaded alive, there is such a fate to persecute, so that the "thief soldiers" also have the belief that there is no return, vicious and brutal abnormal, it is funny to say, the same number of officers and soldiers and thieves fight, the upper hand is often the thief soldiers, which also makes the thieves more difficult, want to clean up, often have to send a large team of soldiers or generals to guard, but these thieves are also troublesome, they also want to make a fortune, and the most hurtful deeds are more restrained, but it is not that they do not do it.

Datong's guards and counties, military households and people, from the founding of Hongwu to the present, have experienced too many such things, and their ancestors have passed it on from generation to generation, even if some people have not experienced it, they have also been warned of the horror of thieves.

“...... The world has been peaceful for so long, and there are many things all at once......" his father Zhu Shishi said with emotion.

Hearing this, his parents' voices became softer, Zhu Da also felt that his thoughts were blurred, everyone was sleepy, and before going to bed, he sighed in his heart, the world is too peaceful, even if there is nothing to do in Baibao Village for more than ten years, it can't be said to be a paradise, it's just that everyone can bear it, they are used to numbness, and they will not be reconciled, and now this change has taken the first step......

When I was about to go to sleep, suddenly there was a dog barking outside, it seemed to be in the west of the village, and then the dogs in the whole village followed the barking, the people of Baibao Village could barely make ends meet, naturally there was no extra food to raise dogs, there were only a few in the village, but in this silent night, the barking of a few dogs was still amazing.

"What are you tossing in this big night, these dogs should have been killed and eaten for meat a long time ago!" Father Zhu Shishi was woken up, and he was very dissatisfied.

There have been a lot of things where the dogs in the village suddenly barked at night, often inexplicably alarmed, and they will soon be quiet, and the three members of the Zhu family are also used to this, so they did not continue to make noise, and they are ready to continue sleeping after they have quieted down.

But what people didn't expect was that the dog's barking never stopped, the more it barked, the more violent it became, Zhu Da had already gotten up from the kang, and at this time, no matter how ignorant people were, they felt that something was wrong, and Zhu Da's parents also got up, staring at the outside very nervously.

The dark night without lights and moonlight is really out of sight, and you can't see anything when you look out, the more you are like this, the more nervous it is, the Zhu family's parents are sitting there, wearing bedding, breathing more and more tightly, and the small people often can't react when they encounter such a situation, and most of them are waiting stupidly.

"Father, mother, let's put on our clothes first, and go to the cellar and wait!" Juda spoke, now is not the time to care about details.

was reminded by him like this, his parents reacted, and hurriedly got out of bed and dressed, Zhu Da made quick preparations, but he touched the side and took out the dagger, these days to clean up the fish, Zhou Qingyun simply put the dagger on his side, Zhu Da likes this sharp blade very much, always at hand, his parents are very uneasy about this, but they can't control him.

Waiting for the three members of the Zhu family to clean up and carefully open the door into the yard, the barking of the dog still did not stop, the Baibao Village at night was not so quiet, standing in the yard you could hear the commotion of the surrounding people, not every family was as careful as Zhu Da, some of the children in the family were crying, the men were shouting, and the barking of the dog was noisy, which made people upset.

The lid of the Zhu family's cellar has been opened, and even a bag of cakes has been entered, the barking and noise outside are getting bigger and bigger, although the night is not clear, but Zhu Da can still feel the fear of his parents, not to mention his parents, even he himself began to panic, and now there is really some disaster to come to the door, except to dodge, there is no way to deal with it.

When the whole family was about to go into the cellar to hide, there was a bangzi sound outside, when it was very loud, only Li Zongqi's family in the village had bangzi, and it was rarely used, and the whole village was called together to collect autumn grain.

Hearing the sound of the bang, Zhu Da was very puzzled, but Zhu Da's parents were also stunned, only listening to the sound of the bangzi getting more and more urgent, but the father Zhu Shishi over there reacted, turned his head and rushed into the house, only to hear the movement of some crockpot broken in the house, and it didn't take long to see his father Zhu Shishi running out with a long stick.

Long sticks? Zhu Da was stunned before he reacted, this is the spear placed in the corner of the house, this spear was placed there and no one touched it at all, and Zhu Da was not allowed to touch it, he always thought that this spear was an ornament, and he never thought that he would see his father pick it up today.

Mother Zhu Wangshi reacted at this time, didn't care about entering the cellar, ran a few steps and grabbed Zhu Shi, and said in a low voice: "Why are you going?" ”

"When the bang rings at night, you have to go out with a weapon to prevent thieves!"

"You're crazy, did you hear someone else's door ringing? No one goes out, just you go tossing, in case there is a good ......" As he spoke, Zhu Wang's voice was already crying.

Zhu Da never thought that his father was so brave, the action just now was just subconscious, as he thought, he was dragged by his mother and said a few words, his father immediately stopped, turned his head to look at Zhu Da and his wife, and said: "I won't go out, you two go to the cellar first, don't make a sound!" ”

At this time, the barking of the dog gradually decreased, but the crying and shouting became louder and louder, and the bangzi knocked more and more urgently, which made people upset to hear.

After a while, the voices of the people gradually quieted down, and the rhythm of the bangzi slowed down, until at last the whole village was completely silent, except for the sporadic barking of dogs.

Zhu Da didn't enter the cellar, his mother Zhu Wang wanted to hold him but hesitated and didn't move, Zhu Da behaved more and more like an adult, and his family subconsciously regarded him as an adult, his father Zhu Shi stood nervously in the courtyard with a spear in his hand, listening to Zhu Da's footsteps approaching, and was so frightened that he almost got rid of the spear.

"This fish is really useful, your mother and I can't look at it at night, but now we can see it clearly." Lack of fat and protein supplements, people often have night blindness, and the same is true for the Zhu family, but these days they are full and nutritious, and they naturally change a lot.

Baibao Village was so quiet all night, Zhu Da and his father did not sleep, although they did not go out in the courtyard all the time, it can be guessed that the whole village probably did not sleep.

When the smoke rose, Zhu Da felt a little more relaxed, he was not very sleepy, in the past, he used to make a fire with his mother to cook, and his father Zhu Shishi couldn't help napping against the door frame, and now their family does not dare to open the courtyard door.

"After breakfast, Xiaoda, you will go to Xiang's house, you are now someone else's apprentice, you must be respectful, you can't be petty, if you don't let you come back at night, you just live in his house." At the dinner table, his father Zhu Shishi said solemnly.

Originally, Zhu Da must have had to live in the master's house, he was a twelve-year-old boy, and his parents always had to see it every day to rest assured, this was specially emphasized last night, but I didn't expect it to change today, Mother Zhu Wangshi looked at his father, and then looked at Zhu Da, with a reluctant look on his face, but he didn't say anything to stop it.

"The world is not peaceful, and learning martial arts is a good thing." When the meal was almost finished, my father sighed with emotion, and my mother nodded again and again.

Helping the family to clean up the neatness, Zhu Da then took the dagger to the Xiangjia side, walked in the village, only felt very quiet, there was really no one on the road, pricked up his ears to listen to hear the villagers in the yard whispering, compared with their own family, their own family is bold, and dare to let themselves out, I want to come because of this catch fish apprentice, so that the parents' vision and the villagers are somewhat different.

When I arrived at the door of Xiang's house, I just slapped it a few times, the courtyard door opened, and I saw Xiang Yue Xiangbo with a knife and Zhou Qingyun with a bow on his back, both of them had serious expressions, and before Zhu Da said hello, Xiang Yue Xiangbo said in a muffled voice: "You came just in time, go to Li's house in the village with me!" ”

The Li family? Mr. Li's family?
