The lights were bright, the voices were boiling, more than a dozen men with knives and guns, torches, bustling under the leadership of the maid rushed over, that Shenghui hurriedly greeted him, everyone surrounded Shenghui, and asked gossip. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Kedu stood aside, looking at these living 'ancients', speechless!

I actually crossed over!? And it traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty,...... Chongzhen fifteen years? It seems that the Ming Dynasty is over in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen! Some time ago, I found something in Sichuan 'Zhang Xianzhong Shenyin', and I also looked at the history of the late Ming Dynasty on the Internet! I don't know which expert once said that Chongzhen is probably the saddest era in Chinese history! Natural disasters, civil upheavals, party disputes, border troubles, there has not been a day of silence for the whole seventeen years, the emperor is mean and unkind, the ministers are incompetent, they can't relieve the disaster and calm the people internally, and they can't stand up to calm the troubles externally, and they toss a huge empire to the point of dying, and finally cheapen the foreigners in vain!

It can be said that this is the best era - the situation is changing, and there are many heroes! It can also be said that this is the worst era -- the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, the rebel army, and the Manchu Eight Banners, all want to make meritorious contributions and make a career in the world, but no one treats the common people as human beings, and the thieves are like combing the soldiers, no matter who loses or who wins, in the end only the small people suffer! As the saying goes, it is better to be a peaceful dog than to ....... for the troubled world! It's good to be yourself, hurry up and .......!

At the beginning, I also read some time-traveling novels, others returned to the Ming Dynasty to be the prince, back to the Song Dynasty as a lang, the worst also traveled to the Apocalypse, or the early years of Chongzhen, so there were a few years of peace, how could I be so unlucky, all of a sudden to Chongzhen fifteen years, seeing that the Ming Dynasty was about to fall, the Qing army was about to enter the customs, the so-called 'keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head' is not a joke! If you don't want to shave your hair and become a slave, then I'm afraid you'll have to run away and go overseas......! Fortunately, this is Qingzhou, Shandong, which should be by the sea, and it seems that I have to plan well!!

Just thinking about it, a man in the prime of life walked over with that Shenghui, and saw that the man was in his forties, tall, with bright eyes, a bun on his head, and a coarse cloth coat on his body, which looked very strong.

The man came to Li Ke's side, hugged his fists and bowed, and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving my young master!" ”

"Uh......! You're welcome! You're welcome! You're welcome! You're welcome......! Liket replied at a loss.

The big man looked at Li Ke's clothes and asked suspiciously, "Dare to ask the strong man's surname?" Where are the people? How could you come to this deep mountain and dense forest alone? ”

Li Ke knew that his jacket and cap were very abrupt in the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to avoid the weight and replied lightly: "Uh......!" My name is......! My surname is Li, a single name is a gram, a gram of self-denial, uh......! I seem to be lost! ”

The strong man was surprised in his heart, but he didn't continue to ask Li Ke's origin, smiled slightly, and said boldly: "I see, it's ......!" It's dangerous at night on this mountain, and I don't know if there are any big insects nearby? It just so happens that the village is not far from the bottom of the mountain, if you don't dislike it, please ask Li Zhuangshi to go to the village to stay for one night, and stay until dawn tomorrow, and then make plans? ”

Li Ke looked at the twilight around him, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Thank you very much! ”

The strong man was no longer polite, and hurriedly asked everyone to cut down some branches, hastily set up a stretcher, put the tiger on it, and seven or eight men lifted it up, beckoning Li Ke to go down the mountain together.

The mountain road was rugged, the tiger was also quite heavy, several men had to alternately carry it, and the group walked very hard, Li Ke took the opportunity to observe these ancients - although they were very simple in dress, but they were very strong, where was the appearance of not having enough to eat as mentioned in the history books? Li Ke couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, so he started talking to everyone.

Everyone knew that the big insect was killed by Li Ke alone, and when they saw that he was dressed strangely and covered in blood, they all respected him three points and feared him seven points, and did not dare to answer. Fortunately, the big man was quite bold, and the young master was also very talkative, and the two were grateful to Li Ke for saving his life, so after some exchanges, Li Ke gradually explored the matter clearly.

Shengjia is a big local family, generations of eunuchs, but the people are thin, several generations down are a single transmission, Shenghui is thirteen years old this year, although not very old, but has been admitted to Xiucai, is a local famous prodigy, his father is named Shengtai, is a lifting person, last year was elected by the Ministry of Officials as the county of Hejian, because of the war, so did not bring the family, went to the post alone, only the mother and a sister at home. And the big man's name is Lin Yihu, and he has an extraordinary experience, but he received great grace from Shengju in his early years, so he voluntarily committed himself to being a slave. The black strong maid is Lin Yihu's daughter, named Heiya. These men are all born into families, or tenants, or bankers.

This family is not only rich, but also charitable, and treats the tenant farmers very generously, so although the year is not good, everyone is still okay. It's just that a few days ago, some refugees fled from the west, mostly women and children, and the young lady of the birth family was soft-hearted, so she stayed, and the food was a little insufficient for a while, so Lin Yihu had to lead everyone into the mountains to hunt some prey to subsidize it, and then he met Li Ke.

Lin Yihu asked Li Ke's origin again, Li Ke didn't say clearly, so he had to make up that he was a native of Kaifeng, Henan, in the early years, his father traveled overseas, encountered a storm, folded the capital, and couldn't return home, so he had to marry a wife and have children in the local area, but he didn't expect that after a few decades, he also had a small achievement, and when he was old, his father thought about returning to his roots, so he led the whole family to buy a boat and go north, but he never thought that he met pirates on the road, and his family was killed, only he escaped! Speaking of Li Ke, thinking of his parents and family, I am afraid that I will never see him again, and I can't help but moisten the corners of my eyes and choke up!

After everyone heard this, they sighed for a while, and they all persuaded Li Ke not to be sad, the world is like this, everyone doesn't know what tomorrow will be after today, so they have to rely on their destiny!

While talking, the group came to a mountain col, and in the twilight, there was a small stream winding down from afar, and there was a path along the stream, and everyone followed the path upstream, turning a forest, and Li Ke actually saw a walled ......! The walled wall is built along the stream, it is not tall, but it is not known how long it is in the twilight, at the end of the path is a walled gate, and there is a drawbridge hanging on the gatehouse, and there are two or three people standing on it, and they see that everyone hurriedly put down the drawbridge. Lin Yihu was surprised when he saw Li Ke, and said with a smile: "A few years ago, Denglai was in turmoil and troubled the place, so I built this walled wall just in case!" Rick nodded and followed the crowd inside.

Behind the walled wall is a valley, the size can not be seen in the night, the valley is quiet, only occasionally a few dogs bark, some lights flickering in the distance, on the light, Li Ke vaguely saw that there is a small courtyard in the middle, scattered around some thatched houses, in front of the courtyard is a square, the square is messy with some shacks. Footsteps were heard, and people kept staggering out of the shack.

Li Ke looked at it, his scalp couldn't help but tighten, and he stood still, with layers of goosebumps on his body, and he didn't know what it tasted like! I saw that in the dreary twilight, the 'people' who kept coming out of the shack - old, young, women, crippled, all of them were skinny, their faces numb, their movements slow, their eyes glazed, like ghosts that had just emerged from the tomb, lifeless!

Of course, Li Ke knew that China at the end of the Ming Dynasty was already starving everywhere, and the people were struggling to make a living, and he already had some psychological preparations in his heart, but the kind of visual impact when all this really appeared in front of him was definitely not to be taken lightly! As a modern person with great abundance of materials, even if you lose weight for a long time, I am afraid it is difficult to feel what hunger is! It is only after tea and dinner, sitting in a warm room, on the computer and the Internet, that you can occasionally see some photos of black Africa or some other remote world, and you can find some hunger after some emotion! Li Ke looked at these distant ancestors and didn't know what it was like, but he felt a burst of fire burst out in his heart, as if he had ignited something, and exploded!

Everyone also trembled, unconsciously lightened their steps, slowed down, as if afraid that the wind brought up by walking too fast would blow them down, and as if they were afraid that the footsteps would be too heavy and would shake them down, an indescribable feeling and the night hovering in the air, unable to drive away, and unable to escape!

The night is getting darker.......!

I don't know where a voice came from: "Uncle Yihu and Young Master, they're back.......!" ”

A call woke up everyone, and it also woke up the valley!

Suddenly, it was as if the whole valley was moving, and the sound of the door opening, the barking of dogs, the laughter of children, and the scolding of adults filled the entire valley in an instant! The lights are sparkling, noisy, and laughing, from far and near!

People flocked around with oil lamps and lanterns; or for a son, or for a husband, or for a father, or for a friend; Noisy and lively!

"Yikes! Big bug .......! I don't know who saw the tiger and exclaimed, and everyone gathered around, and when they were shocked, they quarreled even more.

Li Ke looked at these distant and clear, rough and vivid lives, tears in his eyes, and infinite emotion in his heart - no matter what era, life is the most precious! I'm not a savior, a, but now that I'm here, maybe I'm supposed to do something!

At this moment, another shout came: "The eldest lady is here......!" ”

In an instant, the whole square fell silent......!
