When they arrived at Julu, many people in the team couldn't help but slow down and carefully look at the land with a pilgrimage-like mentality.

A few gray-haired believers knelt down and touched the earth with their foreheads.

Many of the seriously injured people lying on the baggage cart also had dull eyes, and the great sages and good teachers were able to cure the sick with kindness, and when they arrived here, it seemed that their injuries were also a little lighter.

For Deng Ji, a person from another life, this is no different, he just wants to lead these old and weak through here as soon as possible, and then after Nanhe County, he can insert into the territory of Zhao State, as long as he is not embellished here, Guo Dian will not be able to cross the border to chase and kill.

More than 100 miles southeast of Julu City, nearly 100 people were working on a large area of land, and they were directing the ploughing oxen in groups of three.

If you follow the farming time, it is a little late for spring ploughing, but they can't take care of these things in the troubled times, and they are not sure about the safety of the wilderness, so they will not easily go out of the city.

There are old mulberries with thick poles on the edge of the farmland, and some knives and guns are placed against the trunk of the tree, and a delicate ox cart is parked by the roadside, but the old ox pulling the cart has been unloaded, and it sweats like rain in the field with its kind, and only the seat of the cart remains.

Under the shade of a mulberry tree, a rattan mat is spread, and a middle-aged scribe in a wide robe with a crown on his head (Note 2) reclining on his head, and in front of the scribe a young child carved in pink and jade is kneeling upright.

The middle-aged scribe looks good, with a beautiful beard under his chin, but his complexion is a little dark, at this time he is pretending to sleep, comfortably letting the spring breeze blow the façade, but the young child is holding a roll of bamboo slips "Book of Songs", reading carefully: "Seek soft mulberry, spring is late." Cai Su Qi Qi, the woman's heart is sad, and the son and the son return together"

"Father, what is Su? What's the use of it? ”

The middle-aged scribe closed his eyes and replied, "Artemisia alba also, its young leaves are edible." ”

Hearing that it was eaten, the young child's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then why haven't I eaten it?" ”

"But it's not a beautiful thing, I'm waiting for others, I don't have to eat!"

The young boy had long been accustomed to hearing this kind of answer, and his little face suddenly collapsed, but his father had always been strict, and he didn't dare to continue to dwell on this question, so he had to ask the others: "Then why do you go home with your son, and this girl who picks Su should be sad?" Childe's house has delicious food! ”

In this world, people are divided into high and low, the meaning of "childe", the young child has already been explained by his father, and in his little brain, it is a person who has a lot more delicious things than his own family.

The middle-aged scribe was slightly embarrassed, no matter how well-read he was, it was impossible for him to explain to a five or six-year-old child why a woman would be afraid of being taken home by a rich and noble boy and grief.

"The Master"

Fortunately, two healthy servants from the hill not far away, who were watching the wind, rushed over and interrupted the conversation between father and son with loud shouts, but let him avoid this little embarrassment.

The two healthy servants ran very quickly, with panic on their faces, and the scribe's heart suddenly tightened, but the bandit soldiers who had appeared in Xia Quyang had been chased and killed by Guo Taishou to Changshan, and I heard that a Qu Shuai was also strangled, thinking that the surrounding counties had not been attacked by the thieves recently, otherwise he would not dare to bring his subordinates and young sons out to farm, so he was a little relieved.

"What's the alarm?"

Finally running to the scribe's side, one of the two panted and said, "There is a detachment of men coming from the east!" ”

What a surprise? The scribe was surprised: "How many people?" How far is it going? ”

"Thousands, it's only three or four miles away from here!"

With a hint of luck, the scribe asked, "Officers and soldiers?" ”

"No," said the servant who said clearly, knowing what his master was worried about, and continued, "there are many vehicles and livestock in there, and they don't look like black mountain thieves!" ”

In the troubled times, no matter who the other party is, the scribe does not dare to be careless: "Quickly gather the cultivation troops to return to the city, set up the car, and I will take the mountain to go first!" ”

The scribe was a little distressed, if the other party was really a thief army and passed by here, at least half of the cattle in the farmland would be lost, which was a lot of money for his family.

A servant hurriedly ran to inform the family tribe who was working in the field, and ordered one to go to the master's green ox pulling the cart, but it was already on the plough and could not be untied for a while.

Before the two servants saw Deng Ji's yellow scarf, the scouts found the tribes and cattle ploughing in the field, and hurriedly beat the horses and flew back to report back.

If you can't meet the sturdy team taken away by the root, even if you go to Taihang, no one is willing to take them in, which is almost entirely composed of the old and weak, is worried about how to feed these thousands of old and weak, from Xiaquyang, along the way also encountered several large families to organize people to go out of the city to farm, but the strength of the people is strong, Deng Ji does not dare to provoke, I heard that there are only one hundred and ten people in front of the family but there are more than forty ploughing cattle, today is finally going to make a profit city, without any consideration, Deng Ji shouted: "All the strong on the horse, grab the cattle!" ”

Since Han Qi became a thief, he hadn't done anything about robbing his house and house, and as soon as he opened his mouth to stop it, Deng Ji had already rushed out with the screams of the strong people, he was powerless to return to the sky, and after a long sigh, he had to beat his horse to keep up.

“**！ It's a moth thief, run! ”

"The master is still there, damn the money, you should quickly put the cow in the car!"

"Daddy, I'm broken, pull me!"

War horses and horses, Deng Ji's more than 100 strong people are already one ride per person, the two healthy servants do not see clearly in the distance, only know that thousands of people and horses came, and do not know that the main combat power is pitiful, so when the scribe and his subordinates saw the yellow scarves wrapped in the horses in the horse team, they only said that this is the cavalry of the horse, and there is a large group of men and horses behind them, who dare to stay, they have lost the ploughing cattle, and they don't even have time to take the knives and guns under the mulberry tree, so they fled in the direction of Julu County.

Here is more than ten miles away from the county seat, the scribe is also a knowledgeable and talented, the county is famous, but it is a pity that the leader of the army to fight is not his strength, a pick up the young son, anxiously waiting for the servant to set the ox cart, only hate the busier the more mistakes, the more docile the cart green ox is still docile on weekdays, and now it is also adding to the chaos, it took a lot of effort to put on the head.

Seeing that those people in the farmland had abandoned their farm tools and livestock and fled in embarrassment, Deng Ji thought about it, and still shouted: "Just grab the cattle, Modo hurts people's lives!" ”

With Deng Ji's words, Han Qi felt a little at ease as if he had found a fig leaf, but the scribe was unlucky, if he left on foot and got Deng Ji's orders, most of the moths and thieves would no longer embarrass him, but he ran away with the ox cart again, Guo Shi kept in mind the idea of robbing the cattle, caught up with the horse, and ripped off the servant of the royal cart, stopping the old cow pulling the cart.

The moth thieves didn't hurt anyone, and the scribes scattered and fled, and when they saw that their masters were stopped, they had a few close to the rescue, but they couldn't withstand Guo Shi's huge force and were taken down one by one.

Deng Ji and the others rushed over, and when they saw the scribe father and son still sitting in the ox cart, they began to think about how many stones of grain they could exchange for the two of them.

The young boy was very bold, and he carefully looked at these people in front of him with a pair of black eyes, and the scribe was also calm, seeing that the moth thief had a different attitude towards Deng Ji, he was slightly surprised at his youth.

After a long time of eye contact, the scribe spoke: "Eight hundred stones for my father and son, no matter how much, my Tian family will not be able to take it!" ”

Whether it is an official or a thief, the baht money is far less than the grain in these years, the scribe is a sincere person, but Deng Ji only said that he and the later generations came to the farmer's house to collect the New Year's pigs, he did not see his father in his previous life to deal with those philistine traders, and he knew a little bit of the business experience of asking for money and paying back: "Your father and son, 1,800 stones!" ”

"Nope!" The scribe refused: "There are only 800 stone of grain at home, if you don't want to, you can kill me!" ”

Deng Ji naturally didn't believe it, no longer paid attention to the scribe, and pointed to a department on the ground that was forced by a knife and gun to not dare to move: "Go back to your master's house, I will wait here until tomorrow morning, and transport 1,800 stone of grain and twenty cows, otherwise I will prepare to clean up for their father and son!" ”

The designated tribulation was bold, and he slammed his neck and said: "My master is a gentleman, and he has been an official in the court. ”

Deng Ji was stunned and asked suspiciously, "What kind of official?" ”

After refusing Deng Ji, the scribe took the young child in his arms, and sat still in the ox cart with his eyes closed, looking like he was waiting for death. Because the master was not used to seeing filth, he resigned and returned to his hometown! ”

Although Deng Ji has been in the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than ten years, many official positions have not yet been clarified, so he had to turn his head and ask Han Qi: "Ziyi, what does this official do?" ”

"Ordered by the imperial history of Zhongcheng, divided into orders Cao, Yin Cao, for Cao, Wei Ma Cao, Cheng Cao, rank 600 stones!"

Deng Ji still doesn't quite understand, but from the perspective of Yu Lu, it is the same as the county order, higher than the county magistrate, and his level is also understood.

The scribe still refused to speak, so Deng Ji stopped looking for boredom and asked the bold part: "What is the name of your master?" ”

The tribe glanced at the inside of the ox cart and hesitated: "My master is young and talented, and the county is well-known, and he is known as Mr. Yuan Hao!" ”

"Mr. Yuan Hao? Tian Yuanhao? Just by virtue of Deng Ji's rough reading of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Guan, Zhang Zhao, and other big celebrities who have a lot of space in it can still remember the table words, and the rest will remember it when they come, he shook his head: "I don't know!" ”

Or the scribe himself said that the heavens were broken: "The contemptible Tian Feng, the subordinate has no form"

Note 1: Coupling plow, two oxen and ploughing, need two people in front of the plow, one person in the back of the plow, so it is usually two oxen in a group of three ploughing, the plough used is a straight plow, after plowing a trip to turn around, so it is not as good as the later generations of the curved plow.

Note 2: Jin Xian crown, seven inches high in the front, three inches high in the back, eight inches long, three beams of the prince (the beam is the vertical ridge on the crown), two beams below the middle two thousand stones to the doctor, one beam below the doctor, the crown of Confucianism. The crown of the Han Dynasty is one of the basic symbols to distinguish hierarchical status, and historians believe that there are more than 16 types.
