There was a sharp pain in his abdomen, Zhu Shunming broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes gradually blurred, his consciousness diverged, and he was in a daze, as if he heard the low sobs of his ex-wife, the crying of his daughter, all kinds of nervous greetings, and the timid responses of doctors and nurses......

Zhu Shunming's life is like a movie picture, flashing in front of his eyes one by one. The stubbornness of the youth, the hardships of training, the earth-shattering artillery fire, the scorching jungle, the cruel war, the bloody comrades-in-arms, the barren countryside, the innocent love, the growing town, the gradually tired marriage, the bizarre officialdom, the youthful rebellious daughter, the ever-changing city, the staggered banquets, the magnificent clubhouse, the youthful and gorgeous lover, the fat body, the hollowed out body......

"It's so painful......" Zhu Shunming felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and his whole person was soft and couldn't lift his strength.

After resting for a long time and recovering slightly, Zhu Shunming struggled to sit up, leaned on the head of the bed, and looked around.

Sitting on an old-fashioned stepping bed, dark blue printed sheets, pale green silk quilt, and a refreshing sandalwood fragrance wafted from outside, which made people feel refreshed. There are many metal statues of Bodhisattvas hanging from the fence of the stepping bed, whether they are silver or bronze.

On the table of the Eight Immortals opposite the bed, a blue and white porcelain lady's oil lamp flickered orange light. Next to it is an oval bronze mirror that is one foot square.

There is a painting of the Spring Palace hanging on the wall, and the exaggerated shape makes Zhu Shunming smack his tongue.

"It's been a lot of thought into this clubhouse." Zhu Shunming thought secretly: "It makes it antique, but it also has a bit of charm." ”

"Anyone?"

"Young Master, are you awake? That's great! "A little girl rushed in from the outside, her clothes were disheveled, her hair was in a loose bun, her eyes were hazy, her feet were barefoot, and her face was surprised.

The little girl is sixteen or seventeen years old, less than one meter six, wearing pink pajamas, and a towering snow-white on the red bandeau is very plump.

"You...... Is it a princess or a young lady? Zhu Shunming hesitated.

According to his rich experience, he can see that the girl in front of him is no longer a place. But the anxiety and simplicity on her face made Zhu Shunming unable to distinguish her identity, and could only sigh "This club is too attentive"!

"Young Master, what's wrong with you? What Miss Princess? I am like jade, and your personal girl is like jade. The little girl was puzzled: "Young master, do you still have a headache?" You lie down and rest, and I'll call the old lady. ”

"Sir...... Madam...... The young master is awake......" The little girl shouted all the way and ran outside.

"What routine? Role-playing? Zhu Shunming's mind was confused, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, and he didn't know what the problem was.

"Ming'er, my Ming'er," a woman in her thirties rushed in, her face full of anxiety and relief: "God is pitiful, I finally woke up...... Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Buddha ......"

"Ming'er, where are you uncomfortable? Do you want to drink water? Lie down, lie down, don't move, don't move......"

"Like jade, like jade...... This dead girl, the young master wants to drink water, hurry up and wait for the young master to drink water......"

As soon as the woman came in, she chattered incessantly, and her concern was palpable.

After drinking water, lying on Ruyu's body, smelling the familiar body fragrance, Zhu Shunming felt much better.

"Are you ......" Zhu Shunming looked at the woman in front of him and felt a little familiar, and felt very kind. Could it be that many years ago......"

"Ming'er, I'm your mother," the woman said in surprise, "You don't know your mother?" How can this be a good ......?"

Master Zhu came in with a white-bearded man.

Mr. Zhu is nearly fifty years old, with gray hair, a melon skin hat, dark and thin, and a wrinkled face.

Lang Zhong followed behind with a large medicine box on his back, his beard was white, his face was ruddy, his hair was tied in a bun at will, and a wooden hairpin was inserted, so he couldn't tell his real age.

Lang Zhong took Zhu Shunming's pulse, rolled his eyes again, asked him to open his mouth to check the tongue coating, and asked some inexplicable questions.

Zhu Shunming did not shy away from medical treatment. Since he was diagnosed with liver cancer, he has been dealing with doctors all day long, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, blood dripping, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion, and even witch doctors and witchcraft.

"Old Wu, little ......," Lao Zhu asked.

"Ling Lang's lungs are undamaged, there are no external injuries, and his body is fine." Wu Langzhong pondered for a moment and said, "However, his skull was frustrated, and he was afraid that it would hurt his inside, and I am afraid that it would ...... Don't remember the past, and act crazy in the future. The old man's medical skills are shallow, and he can't do anything about this head injury. ”

Seeing Wu Langzhong away, Master Zhu looked at Zhu Shunming, who was leaning comfortably on Ruyu, and most of his worries were put down. As long as this kid can pass on the lineage, he will be crazy.

Zhu Shunming is really going crazy.

…… Chongzhen three years, Heping Village, Xixiang County, Hanzhong Prefecture, Shaanxi, the only son of Master Zhu, sixteen years old, was jealous and broke his head, lost the business of the county, and drought......

The summary of all kinds of information constantly impacted Zhu Shunming's heart, even if he lived for more than 60 years, he could not calmly face this great change that completely subverted his three views.

For a moment, I was surprised, panicked, excited, dazed, restless, impatient, expectant, longing, and ambitious...... All kinds of emotions came flooding in.

In the eyes of outsiders, the young master was really crazy because he was beaten out of his brain.

Sometimes frowning, sometimes laughing, sometimes quiet and dazed, sometimes thunderous, sometimes listening to people's stories, sometimes talking nonsense, sometimes scurrying in the fields, sometimes running wildly by the river......

Only Ruyu felt happy.

After the young master woke up, he was able to go to the ground in a few days, and his body recovered even more than before. Although the young master became a little unfamiliar, this change made Ruyu very happy.

The young master asks simple or strange questions all day long, such as what year it is, where he is, how is Master Zhu as a person, what Uncle He eats every day, and what is the yield of crops...... The attitude is very gentle and the tone is very kind.

Ruyu had a skin-to-skin relationship with the young master a few years ago. Over the years, the young master has spent most of his days in the county seat, and there are only a handful of days when he needs to serve himself.

Now the young master has been staying in the village, scurrying around in the village and fields during the day, and needing to serve himself all night long.

Ruyu could feel that the young master's whole person was tense. She often heard the young master muttering words such as "time is running out", "great calamity", "going south" and so on. She is willing to use her own heat to relieve the young master's anxiety and uneasiness.

It's just that the young master has become too bad! Those embarrassing postures and movements, Ruyu thought of it, her face was red, and the deer bumped into each other.

………………

In October, Master Zhu's crops by the Muma River were harvested. The harvest is not bad, about two stones per acre. Compared with other places where water is scarce, Master Zhu's Zhuangzi is considered to be highly productive. Some of the high-lying fields even have no crops.

Master Zhu was not happy for a few days, and the tax collector came to the door, and it was Chen Shi, the son of the county magistrate who broke Zhu Shunming's head, who led the team.

"Zhu Dachang, your commercial tax, field endowment, conscription silver, miscellaneous silver, fire consumption, and liao salary this year totaled 12426 yuan of silver. You are limited to 10 days. Otherwise, the court will seal your grange and arrest your whole family to eat lawsuits. ”

Chen Shi shook the oil-paper fan, reading the official document in a weird manner, his face full of schadenfreude.

"How can there be so many?" Old Man Zhu was shocked and said: "The output of the old decaying grange is less than one hundred taels, how can you pay so many taxes?" If you miscalculate, you must have miscalculated. ”

"How could the imperial court be wrong?" Chen Shi glared at him and scolded: "Old guy, do you want to resist taxes?" The imperial court was using troops in Liaodong and needed a lot of silver. Waiting for the emperor's grace, how can you not know the reward? If you don't have enough money, don't you still have a few acres of thin fields? ”

"The old man has no money," Master Zhu didn't understand Chen Shi's true intentions, insisted that he had no money, and said hatefully: "The shops in the county town were forcibly taken by you, and you still have to pay business taxes?" It's not enough to pay all the taxes on the farmland, how do you let the old man's family live? How do you make the tenants of the Grange live? ”

"The old man is going to the city to sue you." Master Zhu said impulsively: "The old man doesn't believe it, the world of the Ming Dynasty will let you wait for such a predatory people." Today, when the son is working hard, wise and martial, and quietly eradicates the eunuchs, he will not allow corrupt officials such as Er to run rampant. ”

Chen Shi was furious and changed color and said, "Lao Tzu can't let you get out of Xixiang County." ”

Several yacha danced the iron chains in their hands, and a fierce god stepped forward to take people.

Zhu Shunming stepped forward to block in front of Master Zhu.

Chen Shi took a step back, and said sharply: "Zhu Er is stunned, what do you want?" ”

Last time, more than a dozen people went up together, and they were put down by Zhu Shunming eight or nine. If Zhu Shunming hadn't been blinded by the ashes and attacked from behind, he might not have been able to defeat these two stunned people.

Zhu Shunming was silent, quietly looking at Chen Shi and the others.

Chen Shi's heart became more and more empty, and his legs trembled slightly.

This Zhu Er was stunned, he didn't jump like thunder, why is the whole person even more terrifying. It's like...... Being stared at by a fierce tiger, yes, is being watched by a bloodthirsty tiger.

"You...... Don't mess around, I'...... I ......" The more Zhu Shunming didn't say a word, the more frightened Chen Shi became.

"Don't you just want my water to water the ground?" Zhu Shunming's expression was indifferent, and he said quietly: "If you want land, take the money to buy it." It's up to you, and you also want to empty the gloves of the white wolf? ”

"Five hundred acres of water on both sides of the Muma River are watered, ten taels of silver per acre, a total of five thousand taels. Sign the title deed when you give the cash. Zhu Shunming calmly said the price.

"Really?" Chen Shi was pleasantly surprised: "Can you call the shots?" ”

Mature watered land is at least thirty taels of silver per acre, and there is no market price. Zhu Shunming's price is too fair.

"Ming'er...... Don't ......" Old Man Zhu said anxiously: "Without land, how can we survive?" Sit and eat the mountain empty! ”

Zhu Shunming turned his head, looked at Old Man Zhu, and said sincerely: "Dad, you believe me this time, let me be the master." We will definitely have more land in the future. ”

Looking at the tall, quiet and slightly immature son in front of him, Old Man Zhu wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and finally sighed: "My son can't help it." You can stand in front of Dad, Dad is very pleased. Your decision is right, the people do not fight with the officials. Forget it......"

After that, Master Zhu turned around and went back to the back room, his back was gloomy, his body was rickety, and he had lost his spirit.

Chen Shi happily returned to the county seat to raise money, but he didn't see the fierceness that flashed in Zhu Shunming's eyes.
