It's dawn, Wu Fanhui has almost never slept all night, his father Wu Qingchao walked around in front of the cave last night, he knows, the snoring is also pretended, he has not fully adapted to the current situation, and he doesn't want to have too much intersection with his father.

With the identity of a traverser, with profound knowledge, familiar with history, and even has a golden finger that has insight into people's hearts and is good at analyzing the situation, but it is useless, in this kind of poor and scumbag small mountain village, these skills have no place to show.

Wu Fanhui has repeatedly comforted himself, both come and go, slowly adapt, maybe there will be some opportunities in the future, according to the development of history, Shaanxi is about to be in chaos, the so-called troubled times out of heroes, with his Wu Fanhui's ability, in the troubled times to find a place, is not too difficult.

In March of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, there was a civil uprising in Chengcheng County, to which Xi'an Prefecture belongs, the county seat was breached, and Zhang Douyao was killed, although the civil uprising was quickly suppressed, but the prelude to the peasant uprising has been opened, as the Yan'an Mansion of the peasant uprising broke out, and it will soon be famous throughout the Ming Dynasty.

In the era of the late Ming Dynasty, there were only two ways to get ahead, one was to pass the imperial examination to become an official, and the other was to rebel.

Is it really like Wu Guigui, who fell into the grass and then gradually increased his own strength.

Backward transportation, information blockage, and the government's strict household registration management system have allowed the people at the bottom to be completely tamed, even if they go to the county seat, they must have identity certificates, that is, the road guide opened by the elderly and Li Zheng in the village, as for going to other places, it is necessary to have a road guide issued by the county government, otherwise they will be arrested as criminals.

The peasant rebellion, the county seat was breached, and the magistrate was killed, such a big thing was only spread to Ma'anshan Village, which was not particularly far away, at the turn of the spring and summer of the first year of Chongzhen, and it was still a rumor, so he could only discuss it in private, and he did not dare to say it publicly.

Meritorious scholars are privileged, they are not only respected in the local area, but it is also very convenient to travel, and the road guide issued by the government will be specially noted, if you have the status of a lifter, you can go directly to the official posts set up in various places, and enjoy the reception of the public.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, used this method to firmly enclose the common people and farmers in a small space, while the officials and scholars who served the royal family could get the royal gifts and have the freedom of action that ordinary people could not reach.

The ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.

Wu Fanhui can't think of any good way to change his current pitiful situation for the time being.

The children of the peasant family can't sleep lazy, whether you want to or not, you have to get up early, the village is only so big, every family has no privacy at all, and small things that are big will cause a lot of discussions.

If Wu Fanhui, who has reached the age of thirteen and is fourteen years old, sleeps lazily, he will soon be known as a descendant.

There was a sound of scattered footsteps outside the cave, Wu Fanhui frowned slightly, it seemed that he had disappeared for more than a day and had become a news figure in the village, and every household was probably talking about it.

When the door was pushed open directly, Wu Fanhui was already dressed neatly.

There were three people who came in, his father Wu Qingchao was at the back, an old man at the front, and a middle-aged man behind the old man.

Seeing the old man and the middle-aged man, Wu Fanhui hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"Fan Hui has seen the elderly, and he has seen Lizheng."

Wu Fanhui is not a scholar, so he can't bow down, but can only bend down to salute.

The old man is Wang Zhengui, an elderly man from Ma'anshan Village, and the middle-aged man is Li Zheng Wu Qingxiong from Ma'anshan Village, and these two are the most powerful people in Ma'anshan Village. Ma'anshan Village was originally controlled by the Wang family and the Wu family, and it is normal for the positions of the elderly and Li Zheng to be divided into two families, and the balance between the two surnames can also be maintained.

Wu Fanhui's performance surprised Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong, and the arrival of Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong also surprised Wu Fanhui, nothing big happened at home, the old man and Li Zheng are here, what does this mean, in comparison, the old man and Li are the top people in the village, if there is anything, you can ask him Wu Fanhui to explain, there is no need to deign to come to the house.

Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong both stared at Wu Fanhui carefully.

After a long while, Li Zheng Wu Qingxiong spoke.

"Fan Hui, I heard that you went to the mountain yesterday, and it was still more than a day, and you didn't encounter anything."

"I didn't encounter anything, I just went to the mountains to look, found a cool place, and got a good night's sleep."

Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong both flashed a strange look on their faces, which was captured by Wu Fanhui.

Although Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong are the most powerful people in Ma'anshan Village, and Wang Zhengui is still the only talent in the village, but in the eyes of the traverser Wu Fanhui, they are nothing at all.

Of course, the elders and Lizheng who can climb the relationship can still get the weight of the county government, and the county officials want to collect money, and many times they have to rely on these elders and Lizheng, after all, they are in different positions.

"It's good that nothing happened, Wu Guigui's evil obstacle, always causing trouble in the village, the elder and I are very worried, I heard that you went to the mountain, and it was more than a day, so I was a little worried."

"Thanks to the elderly and Li Zheng's concern, I really haven't encountered anything."

Wu Fanhui's expression was calm, when facing Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong, he should call himself a junior, but this is a title that only scholars will appear, Wu Fanhui did not read, and rashly showing the temperament of a scholar will cause greater suspicion.

In fact, the arrival of Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong has made Wu Fanhui highly suspicious, from the simple conversation just now, he felt that the two should know something, he was not the only one who was kidnapped in the village, and the two of them didn't care about the kidnapping before, or even ignored it, why did they care about him, the kidnapper who didn't suffer a loss.

Wu Fanhui was indeed kidnapped, and the previous Wu Fanhui had died, if it weren't for the sudden crossing, the dead Wu Fanhui had been hastily buried, which was a big deal to cause the grief of his parents, Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong couldn't have cared.

Could it be that it is because his father Wu Qingchao still has some status in the village, but he doesn't show it on weekdays.

In Wu Fanhui's memory, there is not the slightest information in this regard.

Wu Fanhui remembers the experience of being kidnapped very clearly, and he will never forget every detail, and he has recalled every word and word he said several times.

A thought suddenly popped into his mind, and he thought of the words of the bandit he didn't know, "We have people in the official mansion, who dares to touch us", this thought made Wu Fanhui shudder, and he didn't even dare to think deeply.

Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong stopped talking, and the two still looked at Wu Fanhui carefully, then turned around and left.

It was not until this time that the authoritative aura of the two in the village was fully revealed, they did not speak to Wu Qingchao, nor did they nod their heads, and left with their heads held high.

Wu Fanhui followed behind his father Wu Qingchao, walked out of the cave, and watched Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong leave.

After walking a few steps, Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong's heads were slightly close together, as if Wu Qingxiong was whispering something, and Wang Zhengui nodded slightly, as if to express agreement.

Finally alone with his father Wu Qingchao, it is impossible for Wu Fanhui to be indifferent again.

"Dad, if there's nothing going on, I'll go to the field and take a look."

"The harvest in the field can't be saved, you don't have to go to see it, the village is not peaceful, and you don't have to go out."

"Then I'll go back to the house."

"No, just got up and walked with me."

Wu Fanhui was a little helpless, followed behind his father, and slowly walked towards the field.

It is impossible for the farmer to go anywhere else, the so-called walking, that is, habitually going towards the field.

"Fan Hui, the night before yesterday and most of yesterday, did you really encounter anything?"

Wu Fanhui hesitated slightly, no matter what, the middle-aged man in front of him was his father, he could deal with it casually in front of the elder and Li Zheng, but he couldn't deal with it in front of his father, that couldn't be said.

"Dad, I don't have anything to do, I'm home safely."

This is a profound meaning, and it does not deny whether something happened to it, but it is also not certain that it must have encountered an accident, anyway, it is safe to go home, which means that nothing happened.

"Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong are coming to the house for the first time, it's very strange."

Wu Qingchao did not continue to ask if something had happened, and quickly shifted the topic to Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong, such a jump made Wu Fanhui a little surprised for a while.

He had to take seriously the father in front of him, who looked a little wretched, all his previous impressions were afraid that they were inaccurate, and the origin and experience of this father were not simple.

"Dad, the elder and Li are coming to the house, this should be a good thing."

"Fan Hui, there are not so many good things, you have to remember, people are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, and you have to rely on yourself to do everything."

Wu Fanhui lowered his head and stopped talking, but his heart was overturned, ordinary croppers, it was impossible to say these words, any farmer in Ma'anshan Village, if the elder and Li Zheng came to the door at the same time, they would be trembling and very happy, and they would show off as a big thing, but his father Wu Qingchao didn't care at all, but saw the unusualness.

His father, Wu Qingchao, is not an ordinary farmer, and he must have other experiences that have never been revealed.

There are too many doubts in his mind, Wu Fanhui knows that there are some secrets that require him to explore the truth step by step, but if his father Wu Qingchao really has an unusual experience, this is a good thing for him, traveling to the end of the Ming Dynasty, struggling in this troubled era, it is impossible to be helpless, and no money and no power is even more to be slaughtered, even if you have the ability to reach the sky.
