The sun had sunk in the west, and the sky had darkened.

Xiaozhu laboriously scooped up some hay and piled it up in front of Abbaji and the second brother's mounts—Amani had gone to graze, and she had to do this rough work—and her heart was full of doubts: why didn't the eldest brother come back with him?

When she came back, her face was pale, so Xiaozhu didn't dare to ask, and now that the horses were fed, she dared to tiptoe towards the dilapidated ancestral hall behind the house.

Walking to the door of the small ancestral hall, Xiaozhu carefully looked around, only to see Abbaji and the second brother lighting a stick of incense, kneeling on the ground reverently, and praying quietly.

"The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and today there is an unfilial man Zhao Songjie and his son Zhao Baisui who burn incense and pray...... My son, Zhao Bonian, went with Li Shidong this morning and has not returned...... When asked about his companions, he told Wu Bai Nian to charge with the heavy armor, and his whereabouts are unknown...... He said that the corpses were also examined afterwards, and Bai Nian was not found among them...... However, Jeju is small, and if Bai Nian is free, he should have returned home...... At this time, there was no whereabouts, and Songjie was really worried in his heart...... I hope that the ancestors will protect you, so that there will be no disasters and no difficulties, no taboos, and return home as soon as possible! Woohoo lament, Shang Fang! ”

Xiaozhu saw Abbaji kowtow three times, knowing that he was about to come out, she quickly dodged and hid back in the front yard - she Abbaji had warned her more than once, no matter what the situation, she and her Amani would never be allowed to step into the small ancestral hall!

Sure enough, as soon as she returned to the front yard, her Abbaji and her second brother followed, telling her that if she saw her eldest brother coming back, let him come to the woods near the Nine Sages Monument immediately, and then the two turned over and hurried away.

Xiaozhu listened in a daze, and only nodded vigorously - although she didn't understand what Abbaji prayed just now, she also vaguely knew that the eldest brother was gone!

After the figures of the two disappeared from view. Xiaozhu went straight to the backyard, and looked inside at the door of the small ancestral hall, she also wanted to pray to the small wooden signs inside - the eldest brother has always loved her the most, she doesn't want the eldest brother to have anything to do!

She was still hesitating to step in, and a big hand silently covered her mouth!

Frightened, her first reaction was to bite as soon as she opened her mouth!

She's not very old. But this bite is really hard! The mouth was immediately filled with salty liquid and the strong smell of blood.

The person covering her mouth snorted, but instead of letting go, he covered it tighter.

Just as Xiaozhu was about to make a second move, a familiar face appeared in front of her - that was the big brother she was about to pray for!

It's just that her eldest brother's head is full of fine strips of yellow, green and black cloth at the moment, and there are even a lot of dead branches and leaves inserted in it.

"Don't scream! I'm big brother! There was a strange glint in her eldest brother's eyes—it was a look that Xiaozhu had never seen before, not only in the eyes of her eldest brother, but also in the eyes of no one! - whispered to her, "These are all ...... Big brother's friend, so don't scream! Got it? I nodded when I understood. ”

Xiaozhu nodded busily. Soon the palm covering her mouth was released, and the feeling of suffocation disappeared abruptly, and she turned her head to see a hideous face covered in dirt and grass juice!

That face actually smiled at herself, which was extremely terrifying, Xiaozhu was about to scream subconsciously, but fortunately she remembered her promise to her eldest brother at the last moment and held back.

The owner of the "grimace" touched Xiaozhu's head with the hand that was not bitten. smiled at her eldest brother, "Sister Ling is so fierce!" He spoke standard Korean. Xiaozhu heard it clearly.

She didn't pay attention to what her eldest brother had answered, her attention was all focused on the bushes outside the courtyard—clumps of "grass" were jumping out of it, exactly like what she had seen on the prairie a few days ago!

Looking at the similar "grimaces", Xiaozhu was completely frightened, even without her brother's advice, she estimated that she would not be able to shout. It wasn't until the last bush of "grass" passed in front of her and entered her family's small ancestral hall that she came to her senses a little.

"Lord Ling, this is my family's ancestral hall." She heard her eldest brother's voice, and then the person she had bitten had just followed closely. I didn't understand what I was saying at all, and my grandfather, who had passed away, seemed to have said this kind of thing.

Needless to say, the person who was bitten was Ling Ming, and the prisoner that Zhao Hai captured was Zhao Bainian, the eldest son of the Zhao family, when Ling Ming interrogated him, he not only told him what he knew about the situation of the Liu family, but also took the initiative to confess the hatred between herdsmen and villagers like himself and the Liu family.

In order to prove that he was not a spy sent by the Liu family, Zhao Bonian also took the initiative to tell a secret of his own family, his family is a direct descendant of the Zhao Song Dynasty, but after Zhao Lu, the king of Yi in the Southern Song Dynasty!

Moreover, Zhao Bainian also revealed that many of the herdsmen of the Liu family were relict ministers of Zhao Song, and they were sent to Jeju Island due to various implications during the Mengyuan period.

At this point in the interrogation, Ling Ming naturally couldn't make the decision, and hurriedly reported the result to Chu Fan, who laughed and fell asleep; After Chu Fan got up, he didn't say a word, took Ling Ming, Zhao Hai, and of course Zhao Bonian, and after putting on the Gillette suit, he sneaked outside the backyard of Zhao Bonian's house, and happened to see the scene of the Zhao family's father and son praying to their ancestors.

At this time, while listening to Ling Ming's translation, Chu Fan carefully inspected the gods in the small ancestral hall through the hazy twilight.

"Therefore Song Taizu Zhao Gong Kuang Yin's spiritual position", "Therefore Song Qin King Zhao Gong Zhao Gong Defang's spiritual position", "Therefore Song Dynasty British Gong Zhao Gong Wei Xian......'s spiritual position", "Therefore Song Xiaozong Zhao Gong's spiritual position" ...... "Therefore Song Yi Wang Zhao Gong's spiritual position"......

There is no need to listen to Zhao Bainian's superfluous explanations, this piece of the god master who is written in the standard pavilion style is enough to explain everything!

The impoverished Korean herdsman in front of him is the descendant of the Zhao and Song royal families who once dominated China for nearly 300 years and pushed Chinese civilization to the pinnacle of brilliance!

After a short and quick exchange, Chu Fan and everyone disappeared into the bushes under the darkness of the night again.

Along the way, when lurking among the grass and trees, he couldn't help but ask Zhao Bainian in a low voice.

"How many descendants of the Zhao family are there?"

“…… There are still nine cattle herders for the Liu family! ”

"How many other Song people are there? What is the origin? ”

“…… There are at least more than 100 of them, including the descendants of the late Song Prime Minister Wen Gong and the descendants of the late Song Prime Minister Lu Gong...... There are also some who were captured by the Northern Expedition at the end of the Yuan Dynasty......"

"What about the Koreans among the herdsmen?"

“…… Most of them are descendants of prisoners who have been exiled here...... Still others are down-and-out locals...... Liu Er Asako's own family also has! ”

"Are all families so poor?"

"My family is pretty good! …… Most of them are poor people who can't even afford to build a house! …… It's just a struggle to survive! ”

……

When Chu Fan returned to the camp, a bold and crazy plan had gradually taken shape in his heart! (To be continued.) )
