In the middle of the night, the courtyard is full of laughter and laughter, and the table in the center is filled with all kinds of delicacies: fried stinky tofu, cucumber with garlic paste, steamed eggplant, roasted lamb kidney, fried peanuts and 2 bottles of long-sealed daughter red and white wine.

Zhang Qi and his buddies joked with each other from time to time, regulating their shortcomings and other stupid things that were ugly in front of everyone, they enjoyed the sumptuous food on the table, while drinking the mellow and cheerful daughter red, while laughing, and Xu Wei at this time sat stupidly on the side, looking at how close Zhang Qi and his group of buddies were, and couldn't help but recall that they used to play with their group of junior high school and high school buddies, chasing their favorite girls together, making fun of each other's girlfriends together, these scenes seem to appear in front of Xu Wei's eyes again at this time, vividly.

"By the way, young man, I forgot to ask you before, what's your name?" At this time, Zhang Qi's sudden question interrupted Xu Wei, who was still remembering.

"Oh, my name is Xu Wei, Xu is the double radical on the left, the extra word on the right, Wei is the Wei word for protecting the family and defending the country. Xu Wei immediately blurted out without thinking, because he said this on the first day of self-introduction in elementary school, junior high school and high school, so he had already memorized it well.

"Ah, good name, it seems that you are a superfluous member to help us defend our family and country!"

After speaking, Zhang Qi couldn't help laughing out loud.

At this time, Xu Wei also coped with it a little hard, and laughed a few times awkwardly, because for him, this was not very humorous and funny at all.

"Come with me now, Xu Wei, everyone here is also going to clean up the rest of the food on the table. After speaking, Zhang Qi stood up from the stone bench a little farther away, walked to Xu Wei's side, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned for him to follow him.

Xu Wei also stood up from the stone bench, and then followed closely behind Zhang Qi.

The two of them gradually walked out of the large courtyard

After that, Zhang Qi took Xu Wei to the bedroom where he was, this was a room that was not very big compared to Xu Wei's bedroom, and the surroundings were also empty, with no furniture to place, only a bed that looked relatively shabby, there were two wooden benches in the center of the room, and there was a small wooden table next to the bed. On the wall in front of the table hangs a black-and-white portrait photo, the man in the photo looks a little old, with a long unkempt beard, a headscarf on his head, the bags under his eyes seem to be more serious, and the wrinkles are almost all over Xu Wei Xu Wei carefully examines the person in the photo.

"He is my father, named Zhang Yiping, and he is also the leader of the small branch of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Rebel Army in Guangxi before us, and we are not actually in control of the Taiping Movement in the entire Guangxi region, because my family lives in the Qinzhou area of Guangxi, so the area where we are now is under our jurisdiction. Zhang Qi closed the door and opened the few wooden windows in the room, and the bright moonlight poured into the room.

"Are you saying that we are now in the Qinzhou generation of Guangxi Province?" Xu Wei turned around and asked Zhang Qi.

"Well, yes, it's just that the place we are in now is closer to Guangdong, so if you want to send someone to escort you back to Hunan, it seems that the form is still quite grim" Zhang Qi said as he picked up the teapot and teacup on the wooden table, and poured a cup of hot tea for Xu Wei, who was standing beside him at this time.

"Oh, thanks. Xu Wei thanked Zhang Qi for his enthusiasm and poured tea for him.

"It's okay, Xu Wei, tell me, which area of Hunan do you live in?"

"I, I, I, in fact, have been lying to you before, I am in Hunan now, and I have no family. Xu Wei replied in a low and timid voice.

"What? Your family is all there?" Zhang Qi was taken aback.

"No, I'm actually here from the distant future. Xu Wei whispered again.

"The future? At this time, Zhang Qi suddenly laughed: "Okay, Xu Wei, tell me what happened after this future." ”

"It's hard to explain this to you, anyway, the future life is still very beautiful for me personally. Xu Wei was a little embarrassed, and replied a little happily, because at this time, what came to his mind was the wonderful time he spent with his group of buddies and his girlfriend Wang Ting, and he felt that it was a little short.

"yes, I hope the future will be very good. Zhang Qi couldn't help but sigh.

"By the way, Brother Qi, where is your father now?" asked Xu Wei.

"My father, even in September last year, was captured by that hateful group of soldiers like you did before, and sent to the prince's mansion in the capital, and now the prince of the dynasty is very despicable and shameless, and he didn't interrogate the people who were imprisoned, and those innocent, the imprisoned Taiping rebels were all given by those Qing soldiers. At this time, Zhang Qi choked up and couldn't say anything.

"Brother Qi, don't be too uncomfortable, I think that in this world, good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded, it's not that you don't repay it now, it's just that the time has not come" Xu Wei comforted while stretching out his right hand and gently patting Zhang Qi's back to show his sympathy.

After a while, Zhang Qi also stopped his previous sadness and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's okay, little brother Xu Wei, from now on, I will treat you as my own brother, whether you want to join our Taiping Rebel Army or not, I will cover you well in the future, if there is any difficulty, just open your mouth to me, don't have any embarrassment. ”

Xu Wei was taken aback by Zhang Qi's sudden reaction.

"Brother Qi, why are you so good to me? I don't know you very well. ”

"I will never be wrong to look at people in this life, besides, I saved you the night before, I don't want to indulge the person I saved like this, otherwise I will leave a lot of regrets in the future. ”

Xu Wei was deeply moved by Zhang Qi's words, he recalled that his group of buddies in the school, no one would really show his heartfelt words to himself, but he often fooled around outside, and occasionally ganged up in groups and fought in groups, but in the end, his gang of buddies would not use their lives to protect him, and often he was bullied the worst by the villains opposite, and when he returned home, he was usually criticized and educated by his parents and scolded the worst. But through his rescue in the true sense of this life, he had to feel admiration and gratitude for Zhang Qi's fearless spirit.

"Brother Qi, thank you very much for saving your life, I didn't know what to do before, so now I apologize to you. After speaking, Xu Wei knelt on the ground in front of Zhang Qi.

"Don't don't, hurry up, don't be like this. Zhang Qi was also at a loss for what to do about Xu Wei's sudden move, and he didn't react much for a while, and then hurriedly dragged Xu Wei up from the ground.

"Xu Wei, I haven't made any good buddies who can really accompany me from birth to death, good brother, I think you should be the first. Xu Wei said with some excitement: "I think since I can be in the same space as you now, it is a kind of fate, I don't know very much what kind of unit this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Rebel Army is, but seeing that you and your buddies are so friendly and generous, I don't think about it anymore, I am willing to join your group now and become a part of this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Rebel Army." ”

At this time, Zhang Qi seemed more excited than Xu Wei, and even very happy, he immediately rushed out of the door, called all his buddies and brothers who had been fighting with him until now, and returned to the room, he arranged his group of brothers to stand in two columns, from inside the house to dozens of people outside the house. He and Xu Wei stood at the front of the line, and then Zhang Qi came to the wooden table, and instantly inserted two long incense sticks in the incense burner in front of the portrait of his father, and made a wish in front of the wooden table: " Tonight, I Zhang Qi and my gang of brothers, I am willing to worship Xu Wei's younger brother as eternal brothers, not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month and month of the same year, if there is a betrayal, the emperor is above, and there will be no peace, tonight Xu Wei also voluntarily joined our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising army, I hope that your father can be peaceful in heaven while keeping him safe, and help us achieve the great feat of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, we will definitely make unremitting efforts to achieve the complete reunification of the country!"

That night, Xu Wei slept exceptionally peacefully, he never dreamed that he would one day, like in the novels and movies he had read before, to be a hero, and he would do something in the future that he thought would be a very ambitious cause, and at this moment, he was even more looking forward to the unknown "big adventure" after this.
