Raising chickens, sheep such a job is relatively easy, and the fence has been done, not afraid that they will run out of the mountain, every day is to drive them out of the chicken coop, sheep shed let them find food on the mountain, anyway, there is a lot of grass on this mountain, there are a lot of insects. The workers are all women in the village, a total of 30 people, each of whom has 1 tael and 5 yuan per month. The cattle are raised by inviting 10 elderly and experienced old men from the village, with 2 first-term students to record the situation of the cattle, after all, they are going to plow the fields.

In the past few days, Lao Li's nephew's situation has gradually improved, which has completely relieved Lao Li's family. Today, when Zhu Houwei and they arrived at Lao Li's house, they happened to see Bai Xiaode walking in the courtyard supported by his daughter, Bai Xiaode saw Zhu Houzhao behind Lao Li The three brothers and sisters, although they had only seen Zhu Houwei, but the other two could also guess it, and bowed his hand and said, "Bai Xiaode has seen the prince, the second highness, and the princess." Bai Yulian next to her also followed Shi Li, and when her eyes swept over Zhu Houwei, she rolled her eyes slightly. Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Mr. Bai doesn't need to be polite, it was inconvenient to disturb a few days ago, and I hope to have a long talk with Mr. in the future." Bai Xiaode smiled humbly, "Don't dare to be, Huairen has no merit, and it is really ridiculous and generous to call him sir." Zhu Houzhao said, "My second brother is full of praise for Mr. Bai's knowledge, he is not a lie. Bai Xiaode couldn't, so he had to give Zhu Houwei a salute, "His Royal Highness is too famous." Zhu Houwei only smiled slightly when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

Zhu Houzhao saw Bai Yulian clearly at this time, and saw that Bai Yulian's eyes were still looking at Zhu Houwei, with disdain in his eyes, and he seemed to regard his smiling and silent behavior as pretending to be profound. Zhu Houzhao felt that this girl was very interesting, different from the girls in the palace and Zhu's mansion before, she was stubborn in her bones, and couldn't help but look at it twice, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Bai Yulian, only to see her frowning, glaring at Zhu Houzhao, and then turning her head and not looking at him. Zhu Houzhao felt embarrassed and funny.

After a while, a few people sat down in the lobby and began to chat. Zhu Houzhao also appreciated Bai Xiaode's knowledge, and he also had a high opinion of Bai Xiaode. Today, Zhu Houwei has very few words, and most of the time he is listening. When everyone was talking about sexuality, Zhu Houwei came up with a sentence: "Recently, in the land temple in the southeast of Xiaolizhuang, a few men with Shandong accents came, and they seemed to be carrying weapons, and they were inquiring about the news of Xiaolizhuang everywhere, I don't know if Lao Li recognizes him?" It was Lao Li who asked, but Zhu Houwei looked at Bai Xiaode. Bai Xiaode's original light and breezy expression sank slightly, his brows frowned slightly, he was thinking about something, Bai Yulian next to him was indignant, Lao Li didn't know why, and replied, "Lao Yu has such a family of relatives as his nephew in Shandong, and the relatives in the village are also close to Zuo, I haven't heard of anyone who has relatives and friends in Shandong." ”

As soon as the two brothers Zhu Houzhao saw the reaction of Bai Xiaode's father and daughter, they knew that this matter must have something to do with them. At this time, Bai Xiaode raised his head and said to Lao Li, "Uncle, now my injury is almost healed, a friend of mine in Shaanxi happened to ask me to help before I came, and my father and daughter will leave tomorrow, thank you uncle for taking me in these days." As he spoke, he stood up and saluted Lao Li. Bai Yulian next to her also stood up, and wanted to say something to her father, and as soon as she opened her mouth to shout the word "Daddy", she saw Bai Xiaode shaking her head with a heavy expression, and had no choice but to thank Lao Li Shili.

Lao Li didn't understand at first, but now that he sees the performance of the father and daughter, and then thinks about the Shandong man outside the village, and he also had a knife wound when he came, according to 60 years of experience, he finally saw that something was wrong. I saw Lao Li's serious face, and he slowly said to Bai Xiaode, "Huairen, have you done anything to violate the king's law, you read a lot, don't lie to your uncle." Bai Xiaode shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, "No." "That's why you have to leave suddenly, and why you have a knife wound, you can tell me well, if you have any troubles, the two highnesses are also here, and they can help you get justice." After speaking, he looked at Zhu Houzhao and the two brothers. Sure enough, it was an old man, an old ghost, and an old spirit, and he brought the two of them into this matter with one sentence. However, the two of them had a good impression of Bai Xiaode, and they originally had the idea of helping him if they could, so Wen Yan just nodded slightly.

said this like this, Bai Xiaode had no choice but to say, "Please also invite my uncle and the two highnesses to the wing." Zhu Houzhao said: "Then please also ask the white girl to play with our sister." Bai Yulian knew that they were talking about things, and she didn't want to stay there, so she didn't speak, she just nodded, and went to the yard to find the little girl who was playing with the granddaughter of the good old Li.

After a while, several people came to the wing, and Bai Xiaode also began to talk about the ins and outs of the matter. Bai Xiaode was called a prodigy by the locals when he was a child. His father Lao Bai has taken the exam many times in his life, and when he arrives (the same sound, the third tone) is just a showman, and the family is also very poor, and the family's expenses are all dependent on his mother, and after he began to be sensible, he also knew that the local government was not so honest and honest, even if the low-level officials met and chatted, it was very hypocritical, as if he was wearing a mask, so he didn't want to set foot in the officialdom and had no intention of becoming famous. His father saw it in his eyes and didn't stop Bai Xiaode, Lao Xiucai was also pessimistic about his career, and he was also very guilty about his wife, so Lao Xiucai was also relieved that his son did not follow his old path.

When he was about 11 or 2 years old, a middle-aged man who passed by his house and came in to ask for a bowl of water saw Bai Xiaode, looked at him again and again, and reached out and touched Bai Xiaode's arm, and then praised "Bone Qingqi, a martial arts wizard" So he said to Lao Xiucai that he would accept him as an apprentice, and as soon as he reported his name, Lao Xiucai knew that this person was a famous monk nearby, and it was Xianzong at that time, and the harassment of the northern Tatars was very serious. Bai Xiaode lived up to expectations, both civil and military, have achieved good results, at the age of 18, Qingzhou Teachings held a banquet, Lao Xiucai was also invited, so he took Bai Xiaode to the banquet, talked about the literary brilliance and amazed the four, and was highly praised by the teachings. Later, when he was 20 years old, he went to a large family to teach children in the house, there was a nursing home in the house, and he was also well-known in the local area.

Bai Xiaode's master is actually the head of a branch of the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus religion has been around since the Southern Song Dynasty, and its early teachings worship Amitabha Buddha and require believers to recite the Buddha's precepts (not killing, not stealing, not committing adultery, not lying, and not drinking), in order to be reborn in the Pure Land of the West. After a long period of circulation, the organization and doctrine of the White Lotus Sect in the Yuan Dynasty have changed, the precepts are lax, and there are many sects. Some sects worship Maitreya Buddha and preach the religious proverb "Maitreya is born", which is originally part of Maitreya's Pure Land method. Some believers gathered at night to make trouble, and occasionally rebelled against the rule of the Yuan court. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect was strictly forbidden. During the Hongwu and Yongle periods, there were many armed riots of the White Lotus cultists in Sichuan, Hubei, Ganlu and other places, and some of them were also called emperors, all of which were suppressed. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there are many kinds of folk religions, including Jin Chan, Wuwei, Longhua, Wukong, Huanyuan, Yuandun, Hongyang, Maitreya, Jingkong, Dacheng, Sanyang, Mixed Yuan, Wenxiang, Luo Dao and so on. They do not belong to each other, their doctrines are quite different, and their organizations, rituals, and activities are different, but they bear the imprint of the White Lotus Sect to a greater or lesser extent. Bai Xiaode and his master are the branch of Maitreya, and the teachings are also early teachings, but they can be led to practice at home, and they can be regarded as an influential local pope.

However, seven years ago, a group of people came from the north and found Bai Xiaode's master and said that he wanted to join the church, and because the rules of Maitreya were not strict, he agreed. This group of people worked very hard in the teaching, and through 5 years, the Maitreya religion was slowly promoted to most of Shandong, and even there were some sect members in Henan, and this group of people was gradually valued by Master Bai Xiaode. However, the doctrine began to change, adding the meaning of opposing the imperial court, most of the congregation are poor people, the doctrine says, you are so poor because the court is not virtuous, and the officials are greedy, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not fall, your children and grandchildren will always be so poor, plus this group of people took out some floating wealth to those who can't survive, many people are confused. Not long ago, Master Bai Xiaode, who was dedicated to cultivation, finally discovered that something was wrong with this group of people and planned to stop them, but he didn't expect that this group of people had already been ambushed, dozens of people besieged with knives and guns, and finally Master Bai Xiaode died of exhaustion. was just about to bury the body, but was bumped into by Bai Xiaode, who came to visit the master, and these dozens of people began to hunt down Bai Xiaode.

Bai Xiaode saw so many people, so he had to run home, took the only money and dragged his daughter to start fleeing. The first choice is to be in Huangzhuang's uncle, after all, it is the land of Gyeonggi, and this group of people will definitely not dare to be so presumptuous. For the sake of insurance, a special detour, from the east of Shandong to the north, crossed the Yellow River, first to Tianjin Wei, and then to the capital. In the south of the Yellow River ready to cross the river, there was not a prosperous area at that time, and there were few ferries, but there was a small boat coming slowly, more than 10 meters away from the south bank, followed by 6 people with a single knife in hand, and did not talk, directly chopped over, father and daughter had to reflexively face the battle, Bai Yulian also practiced martial arts with her father when she was 5 years old, but unfortunately she was too young, and she was a woman, and her strength was insufficient.

The boatman was frightened, and thought to himself, "If you don't fight just now, you won't catch up until I'm close and start using the knife, what if it ruins my life, let's go back immediately." "Thinking about it this way, it takes time for the smallest boat to change direction, and the boat is only less than 5 meters from the south shore.

The situation of the battle on the shore has also changed, and the enemy will not be able to take Bai Xiaode for a while, so he simply divides one of the five people and goes to capture Bai Yulian first, so that Bai Xiaode can have some scruples. Bai Yulian only struggled to support one person, and didn't see a knife cut from the back at all, Bai Xiaode had to jump over and block the knife that attacked Bai Yulian's back with a knife, although it was blocked, but the 4 people who were besieging him also looked over, Bai Xiaode didn't have time to block the four knives at this time, so he had to dodge as much as possible with his body skills, dodged 3 knives, and the fourth knife was below his chest, there was a long and deep scar, Bai Xiaode's candle daughter took a step back, and maintained a confrontation with 6 people, and the boatman had already turned the boat off its head, I was about to head north, but I was just over 2 meters away from the shore. said that it was too late and that was fast, Bai Xiaode grabbed his daughter, ran a few steps to the shore, grabbed his daughter's back collar in the water that flooded his feet, and threw it to the boat, a perfect parabola, Bai Yulian fell on the boat, and then climbed up, seeing that Bai Xiaode was still on the shore at this time, he couldn't help but hurriedly say "Daddy", and several people in the back also ran into the water at this time, Bai Xiaode reflexively blocked a few knives, then threw the knife away, ran two steps in the water, jumped to the boat, grabbed the edge of the boat, and then with the help of Bai Yulian, Slowly climb aboard the boat.

At this time, the boat was already in the water above the head, and several enemies on the shore were landlubbers, so they could only watch the boat drift away quickly. The boatman had already entered the DND mode at this time, and everything around him seemed to have nothing to do with him, he just wanted to stay away from the shore. When he reached a little farther away, he came back to his senses and found the father and daughter on the boat, but for him, he didn't want both groups to be on the boat, so he slowly drove the boat to the other side.

Bai Yulian gave the boatman some silver money, and helped her father to walk towards Tianjin Wei. Bai Xiaode tore a piece of cloth from his clothes at this time, wrung it out, and wrapped it around his upper body along the wound, and then told Bai Yulian not to enter the county seat along the way, and went straight to Xiao Li Zhuang, Bai Yulian's white persuasion was useless. Bai Xiaode knows that at this time, their father and daughter are disaster stars, and they will bring blood and light disasters wherever they go, and they know their own injuries, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive this time, Huangzhuang is undoubtedly relatively safe, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the guards must be stricter, in case he has a three-long and two-short, and his daughter is also taken care of by his uncle, he can rest assured.

Bai Xiaode finished telling his experience, Lao Li was still surprised by what happened to his nephew, and the two Zhu Houzhao brothers frowned, this is not a small matter.
