Except for Qin Tai himself, no one else knew the reason why Qin Tai came here. Zhan Xiaoxiao once consulted the "old drunkard" master with his eyes, because for a while, only the "old drunkard" master and Qin Tai were together. At that time, everyone else had gone home, and no one knew what Qin Tai had done. The "old drunkard" master doesn't know, he really doesn't know. As for the fact that Qin Tai had been to the White Rabbit's Nest, no one knew.

Qin Tai has never been to Fujian, let alone Quanzhou. But he seems to know the horsetail swing, and after coming here, he is a little familiar.

After the battle of Putian City, although Ichiro Tanaka was wiped out, it was also a heavy casualty for Qin Tai. Among the 5,000 soldiers, there were 500 veterans of the Qi family's army, 1,500 soldiers of the Qi family's army, 3,000 new soldiers, and less than 1,000 people were left in the end. Among them, nearly 200 were seriously injured and disabled, and only 700 soldiers were able to stay. Among them, there are less than 90 veterans of the Qi family army, and less than 200 soldiers of the Qi family army. Qin Tai left behind more than forty disabled soldiers and promised to arrange their future lives. A few of the veterans didn't want Qin Tai either, so they stayed with the wounded soldiers.

The soldiers were alert and automatically divided into several groups to disperse to guard the important places in the village. There were also a few uninjured veterans watching at the intersection to prevent anyone from surrounding them.

Qin Tai took the "old drunkard" master, "Ma Sandao", Zhan Xiaoxiao, and Xiaolingzi to the Mazu Temple in the village, and Qin Tai did not leave. Everyone looked at Qin Tai suspiciously.

The small fishing village of Maweidang has been abandoned for a long time. Except that this Mazu temple is still a bit neat, the village is full of broken bricks and tiles. There was no anger in the village at all.

Qin Tai said to the veteran Lao Qi: "You guys stay outside, and a few of us go in." ”

Lao Qi's full name is Lin Lao Qi, and he is the only boy in the family. Because he was born on the seventh day of the first month, he is called the seventh, not the seventh in the family. Lin Laoqi's family, from his grandmother, his parents, to his wife and two children, were all killed by the widows. When the seventh child arrived, he saw the body of his disheveled wife and his son who was picked to death. And then there are relatives who have lost their breath. Lin Laoqi went to join the army for this reason, and heard that Qi Jiguang's army specialized in fighting Japanese invaders, so he went to become a Qi family army and became the oldest soldier among the soldiers at that time. Later, when he heard that Qin Tai was going to fight back to Fujian, Lin Laoqi was the first to sign up and became one of the five thousand Fujian soldiers.

Lao Qi took his people to patrol the Mazu Temple, he was a local, but he didn't dare to enter the Mazu Temple with weapons. This is disrespectful to Mazu Niangniang, and it is also disrespectful to the ancestors. The Mazu Niangniang Temple not only enshrines Mazu Niangniang, but also the ancestors of the village. Therefore, in Fujian Mazu Temple, it is the ancestral hall of the ancestors.

Qin Tai walked in the middle with the "old drunkard" master, Xiao Lingzi followed behind them, "Ma Sandao" on the left, and Zhan Xiaoxiao on the right, and walked into this Mazu temple that was disproportionate to the small fishing village.

The Japanese are also eaten at sea, so they also believe in the gods, and they dare not easily alarm Mazu Niangniang. Therefore, when the Japanese came, some people hid in the temple of Mazu Niangniang to keep peace for a while. Everyone said that this was because Mazu Niangniang was so powerful that even the widows didn't dare to offend her old man.

After Qin Tai came to the Mazu Niangniang Temple, he carefully looked at everything in the temple and confirmed his conjecture. After that, Qin Tai carefully watched the layout of the Mazu Niangniang Temple, and did not find anyone else hiding. He said, "I'm coming." I'm sure you're here too. Didn't you ask me to come here and meet you? Why don't you show up soon? ”

Qin Tai's words surprised everyone, was Qin Tai evil or enchanted?

Even more strange things happened, as soon as Qin Tai finished speaking, a strange voice sounded: "You are finally here." I didn't count you. I thought I couldn't wait for you, and when I was about to be disappointed, you finally came. ”

Zhan Xiaoxiao was taken aback, this voice was very strange, and I don't know where it came from. The voice is not only a little floating, but also a little weird, and it is impossible to tell whether the person who speaks is a man or a woman, old or young.

Qin Tai found traces of this person, he faced the tall statue of Mazu Niangniang and said, "Come out." I've seen you. You're not a god, you're not a ghost, you're not a monster. No matter how you pretend it, there will be flaws. I've found you. If I don't come out again, I'll leave. ”

The man hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, don't." I'll come out now. Don't be in a hurry. ”

At this time, everyone saw that a vase in Mazu Niangniang's hand moved, and a ball of things rolled out of it. It turned out to be something the size of a four or five-year-old child. If it weren't for the fact that it could speak, no one would believe that it was a person.

Zhan Xiaoxiao looked at this almost round guy, like a ball all over his body. The small arms and legs really don't look like a normal person. I can only roughly tell that this guy has the same head and limbs as a person, and nothing else looks like a person.

Qin Tai said: "Are you the one who left the handwriting?" Tell me your story. I'll be able to decide whether or not to mind your business. If you lie, or if you frame, I'll be gone. ”

The man nodded hurriedly, reminiscing as he spoke. Zhan Xiaoxiao found out why this person spoke strangely, it turned out that he usually didn't speak, and there was a problem with his voice. Now that he talks more, his words are much smoother. But after listening to his words, everyone was even more confused. Is what this person says true? If it's true, it's a strange injustice.

This person's name is Lu Baobao, in fact, he doesn't have a name, but his mother often calls him Baobao, so he also calls himself Baobao. He had no father, and he was reluctant to mention his father. Qin Tai and a few others vaguely felt that the baby's father was very problematic.

The baby said that his mother was a descendant of the Lu family, and this Lu family was the businessman saved by Mazu Niangniang. That is, the builder of this ponytail swinging Mazu Niangniang Temple. In order to worship Mazu Niangniang, the Lu family left a bloodline to ensure that the incense of Mazu Niangniang Temple is continuous.

The Lu family is in a fishing village, belongs to the temple and is also a big family here. There are many families living here in the fishing village for generations. Everyone usually fishes and dries their nets, and the women also grow a little vegetables, and their daily life is very peaceful. The baby's mother spent a happy childhood in a fishing village.

One day, about 20 years ago, a villager who went out to sea to fish brought with him a few outsiders. The hospitable villagers did not suspect them, and not only received them well, but also gave them a lot of their own seafood. But soon after they left, a group of pirates attacked.

At that time, there were more than 40 families in the fishing village, and most of the men were divided into two groups and took turns to go to the sea to fish. The pirates killed all the men in the village and bullied many of the women. The baby's mother took some children to hide in the Mazu Niangniang temple and escaped the catastrophe. When they came out, they found that many people had died in the village, and many children had lost their loved ones forever. There is no cash in the village, but there is a lot of "sea pearls" that everyone has saved, that is, natural pearls. This is one of the reasons why the Japanese came to slaughter the village.

Soon after, something strange happened in the village. Some of the women strangely disappeared, and their men didn't pursue them. The baby's mother inquired secretly and found out that the women had been dealt with secretly. The reason for this is that these women were spoiled by the Japanese and became pregnant with their children. Originally, if a woman had a child, even if it was not a man's own child, she could be sent to be raised together. But these are the descendants of the Wakos, and they are absolutely not allowed to stay. At this time, the child has already been formed, and only let their mother deal with it together.

After nearly half of the men and many women in the village were lost at once, in order to regain his life, the village chief decided to marry outside. Married many women from other places into the village. The village gradually came to life.

But within a few years, the Japanese came again, this time still killing men and bullying women. The men died, and the women became pregnant, and the women did not dare to have any more children. Some tried to beat their children on their own, some had to commit suicide, and some were later found out and dealt with.

In this way, the Wako came to the village every few years, sometimes every year. They killed almost all the men in the village, and some of the villagers couldn't help but move away.

Since the baby was born, he has been in the Mazu Niangniang Temple, and his mother locked him in this vase, not letting everyone know and not letting the baby out. Everything the baby knows is what his mother tells. In order not to let the baby grow up, his mother hardly gives the baby food, and only drinks some water and some fruit every day. The baby is a teenager and still the same age as a four or five-year-old child, just as round as a ball. All the knowledge of the baby is also what his mother said, what white rabbit wearing a crown means that there is a grievance. The baby's writing skills were taught by his mother, and he said that in the future, he would ask the baby to find a good official who dared to take care of the people in the village to complain.

Qin Tai and the "old drunkard" master glanced at each other, and they understood in their hearts that in fact, the baby's mother was also bullied by the Japanese and had a baby. But his mother was unwilling to die, or didn't want her own flesh and blood to leave her like this, so she hid it from everyone and locked the baby in a vase in the Mazu Niangniang Temple, in fact, she wanted Mazu Niangniang to bless her child.

Qin Tai asked the baby, "Where did your mother go?" Also How old are you this year? What about the people in the village? ”

The baby finally has a little expression, but no one can see what the baby's expression represents. "I'm 20 years old and I'm not a kid anymore," he said. I'm not lying. More than three years ago, my mother and the villagers hid in the Mazu Niangniang Temple. The Wako have burned everything in the village and looted it, and everyone is debating whether to abandon the place. Mom was adamant about leaving, but the villagers said they wanted to leave. At this time, a group of officers and soldiers came, led by an uncle with a long beard. The village chief repeatedly explained that the village had been ransacked by the Japanese pirates, but the soldiers continued to search through the boxes. Several soldiers tried to break into the Mazu Niangniang Temple, but were stopped by their mother and a few village elders. The official said that he wanted to come in to worship Mazu Niangniang, and his mother had to agree. But after this official came in, not only did he not worship Niangniang, but also stared at the statue of Niangniang. Soon after, he issued an order saying that my mother and others were spies of the Japanese and that he not only provided information to the Japanese and provided for them. The soldiers killed everyone, even my mother. My mother told me in Hokkien that she wanted me to avenge everyone. Not only did they kill people, they killed the villagers in front of Mazu Niangniang, but they also took Mazu Niangniang's tiara and necklace. ”

Everyone was quite shocked, this is an obvious framing and slaughter of the village, for the sake of the wealth in the Mazu Niangniang Temple. These soldiers and the official were too shameless to kill the people in the village instead of killing the Japanese invaders.

Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say, "What's the name of this official?" Is it a civilian official or a military general? ”

The baby said, "I heard the soldiers call him Master Hu." There is also an officer called him what the general system. ”

Qin Tai had a meal with the "old drunkard" master, Zhan Xiaoxiao and others, and there were many officials surnamed Hu, but there were not many officials who could be called the "general system" level. "General system" is the name of some generals or governors, and there is only one "general system" surnamed Hu, which is the current governor of Jiangnan, Hu Zongxian. If this person was really Hu Zongxian, Qin Tai would not be able to try it at all. Hu Zongxian has exceeded the scope of Qin Tai's rights, not only can he not manage this case, but everyone may be killed by Hu Zongxian.
