Incense, really fragrant.

In the cave, the bun in Zhu Xie's mouth was chewing, and he took another one and stuffed it in, ate it in a gulp, and then couldn't wait to swallow it.

The buns are all stuffed with pork meat, and when Chen Ping came, he was afraid of getting cold, so he kept holding it on his chest, and it was still hot when he took it out.

"It's delicious, this steamed cake is really good." Zhu Xie stretched out his hand and grabbed another one from the cloth bag, and said to Chen Ping, "Where did you buy it?" Bring some more in the evening. ”

"Homemade." Chen Ping took one, walked to Guan Chong's side, tore a piece of dough, and fed him, "I can't come at noon, many people in the village will find it strange, you two can save this bun and eat it." ”

"Boy, I can't tell you're a big family. Why did you save us? Hearing this, Zhu Xie's hand paused, looked at the two buns left in the cloth bag, put the buns in his hand back, and licked the foam on the corner of his mouth, "Aren't you afraid that we will kill you?" ”

After eating two balls of steamed buns, Chen Ping took a bamboo tube and fed Guan Chong some warm water.

"Guan Chong's injury will take some time to heal, you can't leave this cave for the time being, and you still need me to bring you some food." Chen Ping said, "The important thing is, what good will it do you to kill me?" ”

After drinking some water, Guan Chong, who was already in a semi-comatose state, fell asleep again in a daze, Chen Ping probed Guan Chong's forehead, it was slightly hot, and the wound was a little red and swollen, it was a scald, and it would take a few days to go away.

"Just leave a bun for him, and eat the rest." He's sleepy now, and he can't eat much. Chen Ping washed his hands, the stream in the cave was not only not frozen, but also a little warm, and sat opposite Zhu Xie.

To be honest, although Zhu Xie is tall and strong, his face looks better than Guan Chong's, and his appearance is not as fierce. Chen Ping decided to use a stone instead of a dagger for Guan Chong because of these two names.

These two men had a place among the leaders of the late Sui uprising, and their names were left in the history books. Unfortunately, the last two died in the suppression of the Sui Dynasty, which was also the fate of most of the leaders of the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

In Yang Guang's view, since you are all opposed, it is an anti-thief, and Yang Guang's means of anti-thief Yang Guang are very simple, one word, kill.

If you don't surrender, you kill, and if you surrender, you kill.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang's abuse of people's power was one aspect, and the failure of the strategy against the rebel army was also an important factor. For those who fall into thieves, both horizontal and vertical are dead, so simply fight to the end.

"I saved you because I knew that the reason why you became thieves was also forced by the imperial court. If a person has a way to live, who will be a thief and a thief? will become like this, it is nothing more than one reason, I can't live anymore, so I have to fight to the end. Chen Ping looked at Zhu Xie and tried his best to keep his voice low, "Can you tell me why you are in such a situation?" ”

The low voice made Zhu Xie also infected, sighed, and then remembered something, his face became angry, and he slapped the stone wall on the side fiercely.

"You should have seen the wound on Guan Chong's face." Zhu Xie said, "He is from Jinling, and his family also has quite assets, and the population is straightforward, and he is not in agreement with a rich family in this county, and the rich family found some drifters, and injured him when Guan Chong was alone, if I hadn't arrived, Guan Chong would have let the drifter be beaten to death." ”

The Wanderers are people who do not have a household registration, that is, black households, and these people have no household accounts in the county government, so they have no land to grant. According to the imperial court regulations, people who did not have land and property did not need to pay taxes.

But even if they don't have to pay taxes and don't have the fields to plant, they don't have basic food and clothing, and many of them have become ruffians and hooligans.

"Didn't sue the officer?" Although he knew the result, Chen Ping still asked.

"Yes, but the rich man already knew that Guan Chong would go to sue the official, and he was already in good hands. Those drifters did not have a registered account, and they disappeared when they beat them, and Guan Chong had no evidence, so he couldn't sue him. Zhu Xie said, "Guan Chong wanted to stop here, and be careful in the future, but the rich man refused to give up, and there were always people haunting near Guan Chong's house." Guan Chong was worried that his wife and children would be affected, so he simply attacked first, injured several of them, and then went to the rich man's house and killed the rich man. ”

The next thing is simple, Guan Chong did not sit down and wait for death, escaped from the Jin Tomb with the help of Zhu Xie, hid all the way to Liuhe County, and did not know how to leak his whereabouts, so that Li Yingxing led people to round up and hurt Guan Chong.

According to Sui law, murderers must be beheaded, and Zhu Xie, as an accomplice, must also be dealt with according to the death penalty, but in a slightly different way, by hanging.

"Where are you going next?" Chen Ping asked, in his heart, he hoped that the two of them would stay, Chen Ping was young, there were many things that were inconvenient for him to do, and there was also a lack of help around him.

But this matter has to be agreed by the two of them, if it is forced, it will cause dissatisfaction, and Chen Ping's busy work and adventures in the past two days will be in vain.

"I'm alone, it doesn't matter where I go, I can make a home anywhere." Zhu Xie has no family members, he was a Taoist priest in his early years, and the wandering life doesn't matter to him, "It's a pity that Guan Chong still has family members at home." ”

"Yes." Chen Ping pondered for a moment and said, "There will definitely be a large-scale search in the county in the next few days, and the vicinity of Liuhe Mountain is an important search site in the county. You first live and cultivate here, and then you will stay after your health is better and the wind has subsided. Although my family is not a rich family, I have to arrange an identity for the two of you, and I don't think it's much of a problem. ”

Sincerity, Chen Ping has already given it, and then it depends on how Zhu Cang and Guan Chong choose.

Liuhe County is not big, and Chen Ping's family has few people, so the two of them must not be able to settle in the village, so they can only go to the county. It just so happened that the store was going to be renovated, and two people could be arranged for it to be mixed, which Chen Ping had thought about on the way when he came.

With Li Yingxing's card, in terms of security, Chen Ping should not have much of a problem.

Hearing that Chen Ping wanted to take in and settle the two of them, Zhu Cang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to do this, you saved me and Guan Chong, this is enough, and we can't harm your life." ”

Although he was refusing, his tone was much gentler, much stronger than yesterday's knife to kill Chen Ping.

Treat people with sincerity, and that's the reward.

"Don't rush back, wait for Guan Chong to heal his injuries before making an agreement." Chen Ping said, "There is still a grandmother at home, they should come out to look for someone after coming out for a long time, I will go back first and come back tomorrow." ”

Standing up, Chen Ping was ready to leave.

"Wait boy, you have to tell me your name, otherwise it won't be convenient to be called a kid in the future." Zhu Xie suddenly called out to Chen Ping and asked.

"Chen Ping, take the meaning of the world." Chen Ping looked back at Zhu Xie, "Isn't the meaning of this name very good?" ”

"It's very good, the world is peaceful, and now it is the unification of Sui, and the world is peaceful." Zhu Xie muttered, but found that Chen Ping at the entrance of the cave just smiled and got out, and couldn't help but wonder again, "Isn't that what it means?" ”
