The residences of Li Yuanqing and Shunzi are in the mud alley in the east of Shenyang.

As soon as you hear the name, you can probably guess that yes, this is a continuous shanty slum.

Greatly affected by the climate of the Xiaoice River, Daming, including the entire East Asian region, is constantly suffering from natural disasters, and various crops have been greatly reduced in large areas, which can be imagined for a feudal agricultural society like Daming.

In the middle of Wanli, due to the implementation of Zhang Juzheng's 'one whip' law, coupled with the foundation left by the ancestors, the Ming Dynasty still had a certain degree of response to disasters all over the country, but in the year of the Apocalypse, 'it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice'.

At this time, everywhere you look, there are dilapidated houses framed by mud and rammed earth walls, and under your feet, because of the cold weather, the mud is frozen hard, and Li Yuanqing's broken shoes are very uncomfortable to step on.

Along the way, Shunzi wanted to talk to Li Yuanqing several times, but was stopped by Li Yuanqing's cold eyes, seeing that he was almost home at this time, Shunzi couldn't hold back anymore, and hurriedly whispered: "Brother, let's ......"

But before Shunzi finished speaking, Li Yuanqing suddenly slapped himself in the face, and said viciously: "Long-winded fart." If it weren't for your sister's sake, Lao Tzu would have killed you. Hurry up and go back and pack your things. After tomorrow, I will follow Lao Tzu to eat and drink spicy food every day. ”

Junzi's aggrieved tears flowed, but seeing Li Yuanqing's cold face, he didn't dare to say a word, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the house in front of him.

Watching Shunzi run out of more than a dozen steps, Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry, humming a little tune, and walked forward, but at the bend in front, Li Yuanqing's afterglow was quietly glanced back.

………

Li Yuanqing's home is a three-room small mansion, which is the asset left by Li Yuanqing's ancestors, although it is not big and dilapidated, but in this Shenyang city, it can be regarded as a 'rich and handsome' house-owning family.

Separated by a wall, is Shunzi's home, but, although the Shunzi family has a large population, it is only two small houses, very low, and is in a dead end, no sunlight all year round, even if Li Yuanqing's home has been dilapidated, but compared with Shunzi's home, it can definitely be regarded as a 'luxury sunshine suite'.

Because they are neighbors, they know the roots, and Li Yuanqing is also a big soldier with an 'iron rice bowl', and Shunzi's old mother intends to marry her daughter Zhang Yunniang to Li Yuanqing as a daughter-in-law, which is the legendary 'child daughter-in-law'.

Although Zhang Yunniang is not outstanding, she is well-behaved and has a very good figure, Li Yuanqing basically agreed to this matter, but because Li Yuanqing has been very tight recently, and he has been injured, this matter has not really been implemented.

But the two families are basically like a family.

Shunzi's wife and Zhang Yunniang also moved out of their leaky and dilapidated house and lived in Li Yuanqing's house, on the one hand, it is convenient to take care of the injured Li Yuanqing, and on the other hand, Shunzi's mother also hopes that her daughter can enter the role as soon as possible.

Li Yuanqing walked into the courtyard, the lights were still on in the house, and Shunzi covered her face and squatted by the stove on the side, and did not talk to the old lady and Zhang Yunniang, as if she was sulking.

The corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth raised slightly, and he walked into the room quickly.

"Yuanqing, you, you and Junzi, why did you come back at this time?" Shunzi's wife, Chen, although she doesn't have much knowledge, is quite diligent and thrifty, but now in this world, she has no choice but to count on her future son-in-law.

Next to her, the young Zhang Yunniang was also looking at herself.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's okay." Come back and do something. ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing glanced at Shunzi fiercely.

Shunzi didn't dare to look at Li Yuanqing's gaze, and hurriedly said, "Brother, I, I didn't say anything." ”

At this time, in this era, it is such a situation, for a half-grown child like Shunzi, of course, Li Yuanqing will not talk about democracy and reason, stabilize the general trend, and always put it first.

Li Yuanqing nodded at Shunzi, motioned for him to hurry up, and said to Chen and Zhang Yunniang: "Auntie, Yun Niang, have you heard about the things outside the city?" ”

The two women nodded hurriedly, and Chen said, "Yuanqing, this god is damned, what should we do." ”

Zhang Yunniang's big eyes were also full of fear.

The death of Kaiyuan and Fushun, more or less, has spread to the city of Shenyang, and the people can do nothing but fear the massacre of the Houjin Tartars to exterminate humanity?

Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment, he stretched out again, "Auntie, Yun Niang, I already have arrangements in this regard." Hurry up and pack your things. Come with me. ”

The two families are one family, after all, Shunzi is a child who has not grown up completely, as the only real man, Li Yuanqing's words are naturally the same.

The two women did not dare to refute and hurried to pack their things.

Li Yuanqing sat on the chair with a golden knife, the knife did not leave his hand, and he closed his eyes to recuperate.

I am afraid that this kind of situation will not be even imaginable in the era of 'women can be half the sky' in later generations, right?

If there is a loss, there will be a gain.

Looking at Li Yuanqing's indifferent expression, Junzi didn't dare to stay here, so she hurried to help, and quickly packed up a few burdens.

Although it is already a family that can eat, the two families together do not have few valuable things.

Seeing that he had already cleaned up, Li Yuanqing nodded at a few people, "You wait for me for a while, I'll go and make it convenient." ”

Chen and Shunzi are nothing, but Zhang Yunniang's little face can't help but appear a faint flush, for the future, her mother has already said a lot to her.

Walking into the courtyard, Li Yuanqing suddenly turned his head and glanced at Shunzi.

Shunzi was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and hurriedly closed the door.

Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, came to a corner of the courtyard, and put the water out.

In the night sky, the sleet is still drifting lightly, but the wind is slightly lighter than during the day, but it is colder.

After releasing the water, Li Yuanqing hummed a little song and deliberately walked a few steps loudly in place, but his body, like a civet cat, quietly climbed the wall.

Sure enough, not far from the gate of the courtyard, a short black shadow was probing into the courtyard with a ghostly head.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help sneering slightly, this Hong Qiang is also stable.

After only hesitating for a moment in his heart, Li Yuanqing had already made up his mind in his heart.

In an instant, Li Yuanqing flew down from the wall and punched himself fiercely, smashing himself into the temple of the black shadow.

The black shadow didn't expect that someone would suddenly attack, unprepared, snorted, and fell to the ground softly.

Li Yuanqing stepped on his head with one foot, and the big knife without a scabbard had already pierced his neck.

A cold wind swept by, and a faint smell of blood quickly spread.

Li Yuanqing quickly dragged the short man into the courtyard, closed the courtyard door, threw him into the small embryo house containing things on the side, quickly pulled off the padded jacket on his body, and put it on his body.

Closing the dilapidated door of the hut, Li Yuanqing walked quickly outside the house and said to Shunzi: "Shunzi, let's go." ”

Although Junzi didn't know what had just happened, after all, he was also a big-headed soldier, and he still smelled the smell of blood, so he hurriedly greeted his mother and sister, and walked quickly to the door.

Seeing the somewhat Mongolian-style padded jacket that Li Yuanqing was carrying around his waist, Shunzi had already understood the roughness, and his face couldn't help but be a little unnatural.

Li Yuanqing patted Shunzi on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "Shunzi, I will give you two ways now, one, you take the old lady and sister to follow me and flee for your life." Second, everything at home is left to you, and you can figure it out for yourself. ”

Junzi almost didn't think about it, and hurriedly said, "Brother, I'll follow you." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded and smiled slightly, "Very good, Junzi, you have grown up." Don't be stunned, let's go. ”

"Hmm." Shunzi nodded, hurriedly greeted the old lady and sister, and quickly followed behind Li Yuanqing.

…………

Although the chances of success will be much greater if he follows Hong Qiang, it is just that Li Yuanqing is not willing to sell his soul, and it is easy to get on the boat and difficult to get off the ship, no matter when, his fate must always be firmly in his own hands.

But at this time, in this state, Shenyang City is so big, it is simply unrealistic to want to go out of the city at night.

Li Yuanqing is not in a hurry, although Houjin is powerful and has already controlled the complete initiative, they are not immortals after all, and it is impossible to cover everything.

Li Yuanqing took Shunzi, mother and son, and quickly came to a Wendi temple at the mouth of the alley.

It is less than a mile away from the east wall and east gate of Shenyang City.

The most important thing is that before, this was a foothold for Li Yuanqing, under the Temple of Emperor Wen, there was a cellar, originally, it had been abandoned for many years, but Li Yuanqing and Shunzi cleaned it up a few months ago and used it as a 'stronghold for sharing spoils'.

The entrance, which is also very secret, is not in the temple, but under a big tree behind the temple.

The four of them went into the cellar, Li Yuanqing asked Chen and Zhang Yunniang to rest here first to recuperate their physical strength, and he took Shunzi out to find some food.

In this era, for ordinary people, it is simply a luxury to be able to eat well.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing and Shunzi have already been familiar with the road, but this time, Li Yuanqing did not pick those small households, but started in the kitchen of a large house nearby, but unfortunately, the harvest was not very much, only seven or eight cold steamed buns with thick noodles, a few salted fish, and a little bacon.

It's not much, but at this juncture, it's enough.

The two of them did not stop, but quickly returned to the cellar, ate some of the food for each person, and nestled in the cellar, quietly waiting for the time to pass.

It was cold in the cellar, but the four of them were together and there was plenty of food, so it didn't hurt much.

But soon, outside~~, there was a reaction.

This time, the main direction of the Houjin army's attack was the east and west gates of Shenyang City.

Probably just after the second watch, the east gate was the first to react, shouting and killing.

Li Yuanqing asked the three of them to stay at the bottom, and he took advantage of the night to carefully climb to the top of the tree to watch.

At this time, in the direction of the east gate, there was already a fire, the city gate had been opened, the soldiers defending the city scattered and fled for their lives, outside, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, rushing towards this side.

Li Yuanqing's fists were clenched and 'creaked', but in this situation, he didn't have any strength at all.

In a short time, the Houjin vanguard army had already rushed in, and Shenyang City was completely exposed to their troops.

Li Yuanqing really wanted to take advantage of this time to rush out of the city gate and escape, at this time, the main force of Houjin had not yet rushed over, it should be the best time.

But after hesitating for a moment, Li Yuanqing still gave up the idea.

The gun shoots the first bird.

No one in front of you is cannon fodder, it's really unwise.

Judging from Li Yuanqing's experience, after the Jin army entered the city, the breakthrough tide of guarding the Ming army was not far away.

The three of them were beckoned, and the four of them carefully gathered behind the big tree, ready to stand by at any time.

Sure enough, as Li Yuanqing expected, as the Houjin army took control of the city gate, the tide of escape of the Ming army defending the city quickly took shape.

Countless people quickly converged on the east gate and fled outside.

Then the Jin army obviously had experience and preparation in this regard, they didn't pay attention to these miserable Ming troops, let them crowd and trample, let them leave, and those people in the city who were still in chaos were their real prey.

Seeing that the two sides had formed a short-term tacit understanding, Li Yuanqing dared to slack off, let Shunzi take care of the old lady, and pulled Zhang Yunniang by himself, and the four of them mixed into the flow of people and rushed towards the city gate.
