"Keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head!"

"Measure the material resources of China and form a friendship with the country!"

"I'd rather be with foreigners than with house slaves!"

Flames and screams lingered in the darkness, everywhere smelled of blood, danger looming, running, fleeing, wheezing, nowhere to go, despair......

The night sky is collapsing, the earth is collapsing, everything is collapsing, and the whole person is collapsing!

Yu Guozhen sat up from the bed suddenly, panting violently, cold sweat on his body, he touched the bottom of the bed, and the sharp knife of the ox ear he hid under the bed was still there, which made him seem to feel at ease.

There was a faint light outside the window paper, proving that the sky was not yet bright, he slowly lifted the quilt and put on his clothes, and then he heard a confused female voice from the outhouse: "Brother Zhen'er, what's the matter?" ”

"It's okay, I'm up, you can sleep by yourself." Yu Guozhen said.

Although he said this, there was still a sound of Suo Suo from the outhouse, and after a while, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old walked in, this little girl's eyes were still a little open, and she was holding a basin of water with her head pecked and pecked, Yu Guozhen sighed and gently tapped her unkempt hair: "Go back to sleep, I'll get up and run for a while." ”

"Dazhu, Erzhu, Brother Zhen'er are all up, you still don't get up!" When the little girl heard this, she walked back to the outhouse in a daze, but she still remembered to shout before lying down.

Yu Guozhen pushed open the door and walked out, the eastern sky was still only showing the white belly of the fish, and half of the sky was still full of stars, he shook his head and smiled, he got up earlier than usual today, no wonder the two brothers of Dazhu and Erzhu were still in bed.

He moved his limbs, and in the Chaohu Lake basin in the early summer weather, even if it was early in the morning, there was not much coolness. He made a small run in front of the house, and then he followed the ridge road behind the house to two mounds about half a mile away, and knelt down and prostrated as usual.

"It's been three years...... You have rescued me, and I have become your son, and I have been kowtowing to you every day for the past three years, and if you have a spirit, I hope to bless me......"

His thoughts seemed to go back to three years ago, in the earth-shattering explosion, he came to this world inexplicably, and was inexplicably dragged out of the fire. He was reborn, but he lost his parents, and at the age of twelve, he faced this strange world.

After kowtowing to the nine heads, Yu Guozhen slowly walked back to his home. This is a row of extremely dilapidated houses, there is not even a courtyard wall, there is only the main house and the side rooms on both sides, of which the main house is divided into front and back, he and his maid Xiaolian live, the west chamber is the kitchen, and the east chamber lives the family of the servant Lao Gao.

He didn't live here, he should have lived in Xiang'an Town, which is nearly two miles away, and his father, who was buried in the grave, had been doing business abroad for many years, and he had also built a house in the town. It's just that the principal used by his father in business was provided by the clan, so the mansion was naturally considered to be the property of the clan. In order to avoid the clansmen from coveting and framing, he replaced the row of houses far outside the town that were originally for Zhuang Ke to live in.

In addition to the town's house, his father also left him more than 80 acres of land, which is not a family property, the title deed is in his home, but since three years ago, the title deed has also been "kept" in the hands of others.

If it weren't for this, he would have been killed by a twelve-year-old boy who had just come to this world and had his eyes blackened.

But today, he is afraid that he will not be able to keep his more than 80 acres of land. The eighty acres of land in the Chaohu Plain are good fertile land, and some people have long coveted them inside and outside the clan!

Thinking of this, Yu Guozhen showed a sneering smile on his face, if they had done it three years ago, he would have had no power to resist at that time, but since he had been delayed for three years, how could he have no power to fight back?

When he walked to his house, the two young men were already standing there waiting for him, and when they saw him pacing back, the two young men immediately stood up straight, in the words of the Gao family and his wife, even when the military master in the guard was out, they did not stand so tall!

Yu Guozhen has seen the sergeants in the guard station, and now that the military system has collapsed, those sergeants don't talk about military discipline, and they even stand in a queue.

"Big Pillar!" Yu Guozhen began a journey that he had to go through every day.

"Here!"

Ying Sheng's tall pillar is actually eighteen years old, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and his relatively nourishing life in the past three years has made him not as thin as he was three years ago.

"Let's get started." Yu Guozhen stared at the tall pillar.

"Yes!" Gao Dazhu replied again, and then began to say fluently: "People who have left their hometowns, if they are not sheltered by the master's family, they have already become dry bones on the side of the road, heaven and earth are together, my tall pillar is willing to serve the Lord's family, and there will be no second meaning!" ”

For the past three years, Gao Dazhu has to recite this passage every day, from the first month of memorizing the last sentence and forgetting the next sentence, to now it is extremely fluent, and he has spent a lot of time and energy.

At this time, although people are not too simple, but a person like him who sells his family to take refuge has no resistance to some strange hobbies of the master's family. After all, his little master just asked him to recite this text every day, and not like the rumors in the town, some children of well-known families love to play with rabbits and walk on the dry road when they are young.

He didn't know that there was a word in Yu Guozhen's heart about this: brainwashing.

It is very unreliable to rely only on good material treatment to maintain the loyalty of such domestic servants, and moderate brainwashing can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Then there are the two pillars, like the big pillars, and he is extremely serious when he recites them. Every time he saw his serious appearance, Yu Guozhen remembered the scene when he was sheltering their family. It was not easy to escape here from Shaanxi, the family was hungry for an unknown amount of time, and the seriousness when eating the first bowl of rice made Yu Guozhen never forget it after seeing it.

Gao Bubu, who was busy with breakfast in the kitchen, whispered the same words in his mouth, he was a simple man from northern Shaanxi, just like the thick loess, and the wrinkles on his face made him look older than his actual age, although he couldn't remember his life.

"Amitabha, a kind-hearted master like Brother Zhen, God has to bless him to marry a good lady earlier." His mother-in-law clasped her hands beside her.

Lao Gao's family is sincerely loyal to Yu Guozhen, they wandered all the way from Shaanxi to Wuwei Prefecture, and saw too many life and death along the way, Yu Guozhen, who was only twelve years old, ignored public opinion, only said that he wanted to accumulate "Yin virtue" for his deceased parents, and contained their family, so that they could be considered stable, otherwise, they don't know where they will go into exile.

After reciting, Yu Guozhen began to run with the tall pillar and the second pillar, and they had to run along the river bay every morning before breakfast, totaling about ten miles. Don't look at them running easily, in fact, Yu Guozhen and the Gao brothers have sandbags tied to their feet. At the beginning, this sandbag weighed only half a catty, and now this sandbag has weighed two catties.

For three years, as long as the weather was not extremely bad, this scene would play out every morning. Running ten miles on the path by the river bay, it took them about half an hour, and at first the villagers saw it, but when Yu Guozhen was lost in his childhood and was not controlled by his parents, he took two companions to frolick, and then he was not surprised, and naturally no one said anything about it.

Although Yu Guozhen's parents left him not too much family property, there is still enough food for seven or eight people to eat for three or five years, so the breakfast is quite rich, in addition to gruel, there are acorn noodles steamed buns with fish filling, and sauerkraut are all full.

According to the usual practice, after eating, Yu Guozhen wants to tell the two pillars of the big pillar how to do the arithmetic, three years ago, these two boys still didn't know a big word, and they couldn't count more than a hundred, and now they have learned to multiply and divide simply. Every time Gao Bufat sees this moment, he feels satisfied in his heart: the young master has taught his two boys the skills of housekeeping and accounting, and the family has developed in the future, and at least the position of the head of the village is indispensable.

It is precisely because of such expectations for the future that Lao Gao's family muttered behind his back many times that he wanted to say a daughter-in-law for Dazhu, and Lao Gao slapped him back. Waiting for the young master and the crown, the clan always has to give him some property to run this three-room sister-in-law, at that time, the big pillar and the second pillar are the young master's right-hand man, and it is better to find a daughter-in-law than now!

But today's class was interrupted, and before Yu Guozhen could speak, the big yellow dog outside began to bark wildly, and then he heard a male duck's voice sound: "Brother Zhen, Brother Zhen, the fourth master called you to see him!" ”

The fourth master is Yu Guozhen's four-room uncle Yu Yigu, and Yu Guozhen, the male duck outside, is no stranger, it is Yu Gou'er, the family member of the fourth room. Their Yu family is the same as the descendants of Yu Tingyu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, who claims to be the descendants of Meng Yuan's prime minister Temur, have different surnames, but they are the same as the famous general Yu Dayou of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors are all from Huoqiu, Fengyang Mansion, and it has been inherited in Wuwei Prefecture for nearly two hundred years, and now there are four rooms, Yu Guozhen is three rooms, and he is not prosperous in this room, and now he is the only one left. The elders of the fourth room have two brothers, the fourth uncle Yu Yigu and the sixth uncle Yu Yijin, and there are five brothers and sisters of the same generation as Yu Guozhen. The long room was originally inherited from the second room, and was succeeded by Yu Yijian, the cousin of the second room, who was the concubine of the second room, so although he was an uncle, his status in the clan was not high. There are also two uncles and five uncles in the second room, the second uncle Yu Yiqin is the current patriarch, and the fifth uncle Yu Yixuan has an identity as a lifter, and he has the most weight in the clan.

It is precisely because of the blessing of the fifth uncle's status that the Yu family's land does not have to pay taxes, so in Xiang'an Town, the Yu family can be regarded as a big family.

Yu Guozhen didn't rush to respond, Yu Yigu's thoughts, he understood very well, it was nothing more than the eighty acres of land under his name. His parents died, and his uncle's family had no capable elders, if he hadn't given the family's mansion to his second uncle Yu Yiqin three years ago, he was afraid that he would have died of a violent illness for some reason.

The brothers Gao Dazhu and Gao Erzhu both showed angry expressions, both of them were very tall, Yu Guozhen looked at their faces that were flushed with anger, and smiled slightly.

He knew that a storm was coming.
