When he returned to the village again, Huang Cuixin had already found him a change of clothes and boiled hot water. Zhang Guanghua took a comfortable bath, his low mood finally improved, in fact, it was the height of summer, and it didn't hurt to take a shower with cold water, but he still chose to let the hot air surround him, as if only in this way could he feel that all this around him was just a dream.

After taking a bath, in the conversation with Huang Cuixin, he knew that it was now the fourteenth year of Zhizheng, and he also told Huang Cuixin his name and hometown, but when Huang Cuixin asked about his experience, he panicked, and only said that he had just returned from overseas, and went to Qingshui Rock to read the handwriting of Qingshui Patriarch during the day, but when he returned home at night, he got lost and fell in the night.

It is not easy for lonely men and widows to live for a long time, and after understanding Zhang Guanghua's basic situation, Huang Cuixin arranged for him to rest.

Lying on the bed, Zhang Guanghua's thoughts could not be calmed for a long time. He once wrote novels on the theme of the late Yuan Dynasty, and knew that the fourteenth year of Zhizheng was 1354, which was in the turbulent period of the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty. Because of the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty and the natural disasters of the Xiaoice River period, peasants from all over the Central Plains rose up alternately, and the whole of Central and South China fell into an upsurge of uprisings. Now the Red Turban Army in the north should have become the benchmark of the peasant army, successively capturing most of Shaanxi, Henan and Hebei. And after Guo Zixing dies in battle next year, Zhu Yuanzhang will become the commander of Guo's Red Turban Army, if nothing else, Zhu Yuanzhang will unify China in 14 years and establish the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Red Turban Army uprising in the Yangtze River and Yellow River was in full swing at this time, Fujian should be relatively peaceful, although he can't remember the specific time, Zhang Guanghua knew that the area around Guangzhou in Fujian was not recovered by Zhu Yuanzhang until the end, and at least the last ten years will be under the control of the Yuan army.

If all this is true...... But is there really such an outrageous thing? Thinking about the way Huang Cuixin spoke before, it didn't look like she was lying to him. The doubts in Zhang Guanghua's heart could not be dissipated, and he decided to sleep well first, and then understand the truth of the matter as soon as possible.

was about to get out of bed and turn off the lights, Zhang Guanghua saw the backpack on the side and couldn't help but feel a little sad. Unlocking the combination lock, he poured out the contents, a notebook, a camera, a Swiss Army knife, a compass, a small medicine bag, touched the changed pocket, a wallet, a lighter, a pack of Yellow Crane Towers, a string of keychains with nail clippers on them, and a mobile phone that he had just picked up on the mountain. Fortunately, this backpack is a solar-powered backpack, and it can be used to charge laptops and mobile phones when disassembled, which is a blessing in misfortune. He put them back away, locked them, and put them in the wooden cabinet next to the bed, and after thinking about it, he took out the keychains and put them away close to him.

In the middle of the night, the group quietly returned to the village and disappeared into different farmhouses. A burly man with a top body came to Huang Cuixin's window, knocked on the window, and entered the house in a flash after the door opened.

"Lady, I'm worried about you." It turned out that this was Huang Cuixin's man, Li Da.

Since he and Lu Guangfu and other friends decided to start an incident half a month ago, they secretly raised funds and found a few blacksmiths and carpenters outside the city to melt farm tools and make weapons, which can exhaust him during this time. Because now is not the time to make a big fanfare, everything is carried out in secret, so as to prevent the news from leaking to the Yuan army. In Dayuan, where even kitchen knives are strictly controlled, and ten households take turns cutting vegetables with one knife, making weapons privately is definitely a capital crime.

When he finally got home, he heard that a monk had come to the house before he could rest, and Li Da suddenly chuckled in his heart. Dayuan divides people into ten classes, one official, two officials, three monks and four ways, the monk has a high status, and it is not good to get involved with the government, could it be that he knows the inside story and comes to spy on us? That's how it can be good.

However, Li Da has always been a straightforward person, and his style of acting is to cover up the water and earth with soldiers, and he instructed his wife not to reveal the news of his family, to let the monk leave as soon as possible, and to explore his relationship with the court when he has the opportunity, and then he was so tired that he fell asleep.

As soon as it was dawn, Li Da went to the village chief to discuss countermeasures. Huang Cuixin is at home alone, washing, cleaning, and feeding livestock. When the sun came out, Zhang Guanghua, who was unaware, also woke up, and he felt that he had slept very well.

Going out to blow the morning breeze, he decided to go to Anxi County to have a look, for Huang Cuixin's statement, he had believed seven or eight points yesterday, but people always have a bit of luck, often not to the Yellow River do not give up.

Hearing Zhang Guanghua say that he was going to the county seat, Huang Cuixin's expression was very strange, but when he asked for a guide, Huang Cuixin readily agreed, and after a while, he found a half-grown child named Niu Dan. Before leaving, Huang Cuixin abruptly asked where his home was and when he would go back, Zhang Guanghua knew that this was her eviction order, and it was right to think about it, he was a stranger, and it was already very good for others to learn from Lei Feng to save you, could it be that you could not stay for a long time, fortunately, I am not seventy or eighty, otherwise others will not be able to help you.

Out of the village, Niu Dan was still quite active, probably not out to play for a long time, but as soon as he arrived on the official road, he quieted down.

The sun had slowly risen, scorching the loess pavement that stretched into the distance, and there were no pedestrians on the road, but the shade of the trees on both sides of the road was crowded with ragged refugees. What a group of people! Unkempt and thin, they let the mosquitoes and flies shuttle around them but did not drive them away, Mu Ran looked into the distance, as if they did not see Zhang Guanghua and their arrival. Niu Dan seemed to be a little scared, and grabbed Zhang Guanghua's sleeve tightly.

Quickening their pace, both of them fell silent. Zhang Guanghua didn't know how to comfort him, he could only look left and right, their footsteps startled a crow on the tree, it flapped its wings twice and flew towards the foot of the mountain in the distance, at the foot of the mountain a group of crows were slowly hovering in the air, sometimes flying up and sometimes falling, as if Zhang Guanghua, who understood something, did not want to believe the truth. What an era this is! Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as Zou dogs, is this a natural disaster or **.

It wasn't until he walked far away that Niu Dan recovered slightly, Zhang Guanghua broke the silence and asked, "Were there so many people on the side of the road in the past?" ”

"I used to pass by with my father, but there were only two or three, not as many people as there are today, I heard my father say that they all came from the north, and there seems to be a war going on there, and they came here when they had nothing to eat." Answering Zhang Guanghua's words, Niu Dan seemed to be active again, and continued: "It's only an hour or two from here to the county seat, and I won't see those people anymore, the Yuan army over there will often come out, and they are very fierce." ”

Talking and laughing all the way, they finally arrived outside Anxi City before noon. The moment he saw the city wall, Zhang Guanghua's head buzzed, and now he completely believed that he was already in the Yuan Dynasty, and he didn't know how he entered the city in a daze.

Completely dead, he had to take the cow egg aimlessly wandering, imagining that he had always thought that the ancient city was a loess flying scene, but the reality is not like this, the ground of the county is paved with stones, the road is lined with shops, all the same color brick two-story small building, sometimes sandwiched a few wooden houses, between the houses are hung with "wine cloth rice dang" and other words of cloth flags.

Zhang Guanghua, who had been walking for a long time, found that his stomach was getting more and more hungry, and when he looked at the cow egg again, he found that he was also staring at a noodle stall and swallowing saliva. He habitually touched his pocket and suddenly woke up, and smiled helplessly, he is now a poor bastard. Looking left and right, Zhang Guanghua found that the shop next to him seemed to be a seller of gold and silver jewelry, he checked the items in his arms, and walked in with cow eggs.

"What does this guest want?" The shopkeeper, who was doing nothing at the counter, saw a guest coming, and immediately greeted him, a slightly chubby middle-aged man, dressed in satin, with his hair tied up and tied with a hairpin. Zhang Guanghua looked left and right, full of curiosity about the things in the store, but did not answer the shopkeeper's words, and waited for a while to see that the shopkeeper did not snub him because he was wearing a cold mix, and then said: "I am not here to buy things, but I want the shopkeeper to help me see a piece of jewelry." ”

"You should go to the pawnshop next door, not me." The shopkeeper was obviously interested in Zhang Guanghua's words, but he deliberately said with a straight face.

Zhang Guanghua smiled silently, but reached out and took out the string of keychains from his arms. As soon as the silver keychain was taken out, the shopkeeper snatched it away, his eyes lit up, first in his hand, and then he rubbed it carefully with his hand, and his mouth was amazed. When he was about to put it in his mouth and bite it, Zhang Guanghua coughed, and he smiled and returned the keychain in his hand to Zhang Guanghua.

"Have you ever seen what kind of treasure this is?" Seeing the shopkeeper's reaction in such a gaffe, Zhang Guanghua was also overjoyed, and asked while turning the keychain in his hand.

"I can't see it, but I see that this thing is heavy and has an abnormal brilliance, and it must be an extraordinary product." The shopkeeper replied truthfully, and to tell the truth, he knew that he had found a treasure as soon as he got his hands on this jewel, and he was determined to take it down no matter what. He gave Xiao Er who was standing next to him a look, and Xiao Er immediately went into the house and brought two cups of tea.

"Come, let's sit down and talk." The shopkeeper invited Zhang Guanghua and Niu Dan to sit down and waited for Zhang Guanghua to speak.

Zhang Guanghua uncovered the tea lid, took two sips, and began to run the train with a mouthful: "To be honest, this is the royal treasure of Taixi that I brought back from overseas, although it looks like silver and gold, it is more precious than gold and silver, not to mention the material, just from the workmanship, I know that the price is expensive." ”

He moved the keychain to the shopkeeper a little and continued: "Shopkeeper, you see, this scissor-like small object is made of four pieces of silver, and it took more than ten craftsmen a few months to polish and polish it, and its effect is even more wonderful. ”

The story was puzzled, but he still stretched out his hand. Zhang Guanghua held back his nausea and grabbed his hand, cut off the nails of his five fingers one by one with nail clippers, and smoothed him with a file when he was finished.

The shopkeeper withdrew his hand and carefully rubbed his nails, which were round and smooth, not prickly at all.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! What ingenuity! He said three wonderful things in a row, obviously not expecting this treasure to have this function.
