Chapter 1: Wen Chou

Next Chapter

In the fourth year of Zhongping, at the beginning of March.

The spring breeze has just crossed the river to the boundary of Jizhou, and before it can completely dispel the severe cold, maybe there is still ice slag left in the corner of the mountain. However, the green wheat fields on both sides of the official road, the ups and downs and rustling sound of the wind are indeed a real reminder to passers-by that the earth has rejuvenated.

However, not all farmland has green wheat, such as the official road leading to Taolinsai in Shahe Township, but the surrounding area is boundless wilderness. This was originally the field of Taolin Township, but now it is a thing of the past.

Taolinsai is a fortress that existed in the pre-Qin period, and it was abandoned during the reign of Emperor Huan. But to-day stood a man of about seventeen or eighteen years of age, with a pale complexion, as if he had just been seriously ill, dressed in a hakama and pleats, with a coat and a coat, without a crown on his head, but wrapped in a scarf, and with a ring-headed knife hanging from his waist. "Hakama" is a foreign product, from the nomadic people, resembling the tops and trousers of later generations.

His name is Wen Chou, and he is from Shahe Township.

In recent days, every day at the beginning of the day, he ran along the official road of Shahe Township south to Taolinsai, which is a full twenty miles, and then looked at Taolinsai and pondered for a while, and then turned back. Today is no exception.

"This will be where I will rise!" Wen Chou looked at the somewhat dilapidated Tao Linsai, and his eyes revealed perseverance.

Go straight north along the official road, and dozens of miles away is Pingjian County.

Pingjian County (now Zhao County) belongs to Changshan Country, Changshan is a good place, there is a Zhao Zilong, of course, this is all later. There are three big surnames in this Pingjian County, one is the Pingjian Liu family, the other is the Zhang family of the Pingjian Pu family, and the other is the Shahe Wen family. It is said that after Liu Buyi, the king of Changshan, and after Zhang Er, the king of Zhao, they are all famous and have a long heritage. Only this Shahe Wen clan is a rising star, only these two generations have quite military merits, won a lot of awards, and developed.

Wen Chou was born in the Wen clan and was the third son of the previous patriarch.

In the war that swept through Bazhou in the first year of Zhongping, his eldest brother and second brother died in battle, and his parents also died in the epidemic in the coming year, leaving him alone. Inheriting the ancestors, the family has hundreds of thousands of assets, hundreds of acres of fertile land, and the position of the patriarch is vacant.

……

"Ha, ha" With the sound of the trumpet, Wen Chou's mind also turned to the present.

Wen's martial arts, martial arts respect, is also a military family, every morning Wen's descendants have to practice "Wen's marksmanship", of course, the basic boxing, palm skills, are also to practice.

"Young master, why did you run out again early in the morning" As soon as Wen Chou entered the inner door, there was a woman, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, about fifty years old, holding a jacket and skirt, and ran over: "Your three-year mourning period has just passed, and your body is when you are weak, so you should cultivate well......"

"Aunt Chen, I'm not good, besides, I'm not that white and tender little lady, how can I be so delicate!" Wen Chou thumped his chest, looked at the old man with a smile and looked himself up and down.

Aunt Chen is the wife of Chen Ming, the housekeeper of the Wen family, who grew up watching Wen Chou, and now she sees that Wen Chou is the only one left in the Wen family, and she pities him very much.

"Unconsciously, I have come to this era for more than two years, it seems that I am still very adaptable to the life of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if it were not for the death of Duke Wen, 'Wen Chou' was too sad, and once fainted! I haven't been able to cross the body of 'Wen Chou', three years of Ding worry can be regarded as a reward! Wen Chou thought to himself. Of course, in the twenty-five months of the three years of Ding Wei, in addition to the daily martial arts practice, Wen Chou changed his previous habit of emphasizing martial arts and ignoring literature, and also hired a gentleman to study the classics of the hundred schools of thought, and gradually became familiar with the life in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although outsiders are strange about Wen Chou's changes, they all think that this is because Wen Chou has become sensible after losing four relatives in succession.

"Besides, Aunt Chen, how can you be good if you don't exercise" Wen Chou said as he helped the old man to walk back: "It's cold here, let's go back to the compound and say." ”

"That's not good, if you are not good, how can I explain to the old lady......" Aunt Chen said as she walked, glaring at Wen Ugly from time to time.

Wen Chou is a person of great gratitude, and during his Ding Worry, all the big and small things of the Wen family were taken care of by Chen Ming and his wife, especially Aunt Chen gave him motherly care when he first crossed into this strange era, and Wen Chou was even more respectful. It's time to send Aunt Chen away, Wen Chou casually looks at this quaint house, the finely carved doors and windows, the meticulous bedding, and the clean couch, all of which are pleasing to the eye, if they are accompanied by a virtuous and elegant beauty......

"Hey, who are you, dare to break into my Wen clan" A rough voice interrupted Wen Chou's infinite fantasy.

Wen Chou hurriedly ran out of the house, but saw that the inner door was already full of people. Inside the door is the Wen's descendants with weapons, brightly dressed, about twenty-three or four people, the leader is the second son of the five big and three thick of the father and the elder Wenba, outside the door is the ragged clothes, armed with wooden sticks of the homeless people, about forty or fifty people, there are over sixty years old, there are also seven or eight years old children, the old and the young support each other, a seemingly middle-aged man is confronting Wenba, but it seems so weak. Wen Qi, the inner prison who had some inconvenience in his legs and feet, fell to the ground and was explaining something to Wen Ba.

"Since you're here to beg for food, you're still so arrogant, you dare to beat people!" As soon as Wen Chou got closer, he heard Wen Ba's thunderous roar, and secretly screamed that it was not good, and immediately half-squatted and bent his knees suddenly popped out!

But he said that the middle-aged man on the other side was about to defend himself, and he heard the outcasts exclaim, only to see a white light path stabbing towards the throat! Seeing that Huang Quan was about to die, at this time, Wen Qiu punched the body of the Chinese tyrant, and the tip of the gun almost crossed the left side of the middle-aged man's neck. The middle-aged man closed his eyes, and it was really the seven souls that scared off three and a half, and he didn't wait for the bad luck of a gun piercing his throat for a while.

When he opened his eyes and saw the place where Wen Chou was standing, the man didn't know that Wen Chou saved him at the last moment, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "Thank you for saving your life!" Wen Chou hurriedly held the middle-aged man's hand and said, "Uncle, I can't help it, I blame my brother for being reckless, and I frightened Uncle." "It turned out that Wen Qi, the prison gate there, explained to Wen Ba that the middle-aged man beat a child who unintentionally bumped into Wen Qi, but Wen Ba saw Wen Qi fall to the ground crookedly, and he blew up just by hearing the word 'typing'!

Wenba also realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, and kept scratching his head. In fact, Wenba is not the kind of person who deceives good and does evil, but sometimes he does things without his brain. The other descendants of the Wen family all chuckled when they saw Wen Ba being deflated.

Wen Chou was about to let go, but saw that this man's legs were weak and he was about to go down, which caused the outcasts to exclaim again, Wen Chou hurriedly supported him, probed his snort with one hand, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but it was the spirit of his life Zhang Chi and the fact that he had not eaten a grain of rice for several days and fainted.

"Folks, Uncle is fine, it's just that he was overly nervous and fainted." Wen Chou handed over the middle-aged man to the two juniors to support, "Presumably, everyone hasn't eaten for many days, please come with me." Then he turned his head and told Wen Ba to invite Li Zhong Langzhong.

"Childe is benevolent!" "My brother is such a good man...... The homeless people cheered.

Wen Chou smiled and shook his head, and walked forward.

……

"Pingjian County is close to Gaoyi County, and now that the Black Mountain Army has looted Gaoyi, I'm afraid that the next one will be Pingjiao" Wen Chou frowned, step by step into the house, and muttered from time to time, "No, this won't work." ”

It turned out that this group of displaced people, from Peng Township, Gaoyi County, was sacked by the Black Mountain Army entrenched in Taihang Mountain a month ago.
