When the village chief heard that he had found a spy and asked the villagers to bring hoes and kitchen knives, he gathered at the entrance of the village, and saw Wang Zheng and Luo Fang coming with a young man, who was dressed in strange clothes, had very short hair, and was only about sixteen years old, this is the spy.

"How can Wang Zheng be in trouble, how can he bring a young man here?" The village chief asked the man with the bow, "Uncle, today Luo Fang and I went into the mountains to hunt before dawn, and when we heard someone in the mountain shouting, we went over to take a look, and we saw this strange man there, and Luo Fang and I suspected that he was a spy and took him to the village." Wang Zheng said respectfully to the village chief.

"Young man, what kind of clan are you? Why are you here? ”

Li Zhen looked at the village chief, who was over fifty years old, had a long beard, and looked kind. When Li Zhen came, he knew that this was a small village in Youzhou called Wangjia Village, and most of the villagers were surnamed Wang. Li Zhen had already thought of words in his mind when he came, "This uncle, I was originally a hidden family, all because a group of people of unknown origin came to my family, killed my whole clan and robbed my family's property, I got lost and came here after two days and two nights of escape. After speaking, Li Zhen bit his tongue and let his tears flow down. He also spoke: "My clan is all Han people, because Wang Mang moved his family to live in seclusion when he usurped the rebellion, and now I don't know how many generations have passed. Pity my people who were killed by those godsenders, and I was also desperately protected by my people to escape. After speaking, Li Zhen cried again.

The surrounding villagers couldn't bear to put down their weapons when they heard this, "The little baby of the village chief is quite pitiful, it doesn't sound like a spy." "Yes! I looked at the little baby's eyebrows and eyes, no matter how I looked at it, it didn't look like a spy, did we make a mistake. ”

Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: Such a simple villager, no one will believe it if he is killed in another time and space.

The village chief waved his hand, and everyone around fell silent, "Where is your clan, why are you dressed like this?" ”

"My clan is from Youzhou, when I was a child, there was a wandering monk in my family, and later I worshipped him as a teacher, and his dress was not much different."

The village chief thought for a while and discussed with a few people around him, "Young man, do you remember the way home, I will send a few villagers to send you back." "It's bad, this old man still doesn't believe it, what should I do? You can't be treated as a spy like this, it's ugly to die. Li Zhen thought in his heart, but said without changing his face: "Uncle, I have forgotten the way back after I fled for two days and two nights, and I don't know if those people are gone, I also want to go back to collect the coffins and erect monuments for my people, I can't let them throw their corpses into the wilderness!" But I, ah! Li Zhen burst into tears and roared, "I'm useless! The people of the tribe are not blind, and I only remember to flee, and I don't even know the way back, why am I so useless? “

Li Zhen squatted down and cried with his head in his hands, thinking to himself: "I haven't passed even if I have such acting skills, and I really have no way to go down." “

After waiting for a long time, the village chief spoke: "Young man, what is your surname?" Li Zhen hurriedly replied: "Li Zhen." "Oh, okay, you can stay, and tell me when you want to go." Li Zhen was overjoyed in his heart and finally stopped recognizing himself as a spy, but said with a sad face: "Thank you, uncle, for taking it in." “

The village chief waved his hand, turned around and left.
