Along the way, Yan Zheng, who knew how to do mass work, was constantly talking with these rescued Ming women.

Through the conversation, he was very surprised by the poverty of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, those who have a few acres of thin land at home are considered to be excellent, and most of them live by raising silkworms and reeling silk, and the annual yield of silkworm seeds determines their annual work.

If there are a few acres of mulberry trees at home, then the days are relatively rich. However, those who do not have enough mulberry trees at home often need to borrow "slightly leaves", that is, to borrow money to buy mulberry leaves, so as to ensure that silkworm treasures can successfully form cocoons.

As long as there is a silkworm disease and the output and quality decline, then it will face bankruptcy, and if it cannot pay the money of the creditor, it will often face the end of being annexed at a low price, and even have to sacrifice their children to pay off the debt.

The one who made Yan Zheng pity the most was the youngest girl.

Her name is Wang Qimei, she is only thirteen years old, and she should be in junior high school in later generations.

But since she was four years old, she has experienced the heat and coldness of the world, she is the youngest in the family, and her mother died within a few months of birth.

She grew up drinking rice soup when she was a child, and she relied on the second sister in the family to take care of her.

At the age of four, she helped the family work, and after the second sister got married, she was bullied by her sisters.

Because he had eaten some lard secretly, he was injured by his eldest brother in the family, and he is still a little lame when he walks.

Her father will not favor a little daughter, not to mention that there are many children in the family, and there are only a few acres of thin land, so you have to grab more bites.

Kong Rong is as humble as a pear, and after all, he will not appear in the home of the hungry slum all day long.

When she was eleven years old, her eldest brother was in his twenties and had not yet married.

After talking about the family, her father had to borrow money to marry her eldest brother, and later she couldn't pay the money and didn't want to sell the land, so she asked Wang Qimei to go to see Hong to pay off the debt.

The so-called red is that some wealthy businessmen and landlords will do some ...... in order to get lucky before gambling and doing business Disgusting thing!

Wang Qimei didn't seem to have a choice, and after this experience, she was sold to someone else to be a home-grown girl.

I thought that the hard days were endless, but who would have thought that I would encounter a group of beasts like the Japanese Kou.

After Yan Zheng heard this, he was shocked at first, gradually couldn't believe it, and then became numb.

Almost all of these women had a very miserable experience, and after they said it, they cried and complained to Yan Zheng.

As if the bitterness hidden in my heart can finally be said at this moment.

Yan Zheng is a very good listener, and he is a friend of women, and he finally listened to it with red eyes.

Thousands of years of feudal reincarnation seem to have changed, and it doesn't seem to have changed!

He remembered the old social tragedy he had seen at the beginning, but in fact, it seemed to be similar in the Ming Dynasty!

Wang Qimei is thin and weak, and she is also very kind, with a pair of big eyes with deep sunken eyes, hiding a certain numbness.

Since Yan Zheng patiently talked to her and gave her some delicious food from time to time, her big eyes like to stare at Yan Zheng secretly.

When it comes to his own affairs, he is also stupid, and he does not complain about the injustice of fate, nor does he complain about other people.

Maybe the experience of being a child has made her accustomed to all this, or maybe she doesn't know the concept of fate at all.

Compared with Wang Qimei, the fate of the girl whose father is a fisherman is much better.

That girl's name is Li Erniang, only fifteen years old, and her father fishes for a living, although she is not rich, she does not treat this daughter badly.

The personality is also generous, and she has already said that she has a good family, if she hadn't encountered the Japanese Kou, she should have a happy life.

"Seventh sister, do you think the short-haired king will let us go home?" When she was about to arrive in Mocheng, Li Erniang pulled Wang Qimei to whisper.

Wang Qimei was a little timid, thought about it seriously and said, "I'...... I don't want to go back! ”

"How can you not go back?" Li Erniang said unexpectedly: "Your family, your father, your mother, they are all waiting for you!" ”

"You...... You forgot? I have no mother, my father won't worry about me, and the head of the family has also been killed by the widows! I can't go back. ”

"Then don't stay in this kind of tiger and wolf's den!"

Wang Qimei smiled lightly and said: "For so many years, I have eaten enough in the past few days, and I finally know what it is like to have a full meal, and I am worth dying here!" If the chief wants me to stay, I'll stay! ”

Li Erniang was stunned, a little difficult to persuade again, thinking back to the food these days, and suddenly thinking of her father, if her father can also make money by working for shorthair, it may be okay to stay.

"Aunt Wang, are you willing to stay?" Li Erniang asked Wang Jiang on the side again.

Wang Jiang was silent for a moment and said, "Silly girl, go back, do you think you can go back and still be the same as before?" ”

Li Erniang was stunned, and her eyes revealed a burst of despair.

………………

When the group returned to Meaux, the entire tribe ran to the river with great excitement.

The black pressure on the riverside oppresses a large area, whether it is the original clan or the naturalized people.

Everyone had a relieved look on their faces, and they all greeted Yan Zheng with joy and excitement.

The leader and Wu were almost about to cry, and when they saw Yan Zheng, they all hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, for fear that he would make a mistake.

"It's too dangerous!" The chief's first sentence was like a rebuke.

While thanking the ancestral spirit, Wu told Yan Zheng that he couldn't take such a risk next time.

Lan Ya was in the crowd, and she had already shed tears.

Yan Zheng saw that the clansmen cared about him so much, and his eyes were a little hot, and his heart was warm.

In the days when he was not there, the clansmen must have been worried and worried, and they were living in tension.

When he returned, the tribesmen were relieved, and the entire tribe collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Zheng felt that his art of choosing a name was still good, and Yan Anhe really let him choose it right.

In this place, in this era, only this tribe, the people of this tribe, can make him feel at ease.

Because these people really support him and trust him. Treat him as the Son of God, and treat him very religiously.

And Yan Zheng was also in the crowd, and he saw Limu, who had already rushed back, which made him happy.

Limu also immediately stepped forward to report: "Chief, it only took us one day to get to the Yan'an River, but the boat was stuck at the mouth of the river and couldn't get out!" ”

Yan Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Have you got all the things on the ship back?" ”

"Get it back!"

"That's good, it stands to reason that the Yan'an River is wider than the Xin'an River, and it should be able to navigate a fifty-ton boat!" He muttered to himself.

Seeing that the tribesmen were curious to look at those Ming women, he immediately told the chief: "These women can weave, farm, and have many crafts, I decided to give them the status of a citizen immediately, and let the clansmen build them a residence next to the red house!" ”

The leader nodded solemnly and said, "I'll arrange it immediately!" ”

Yan Zheng turned back to these women and said, "See! This is the city of Meaux, and the people of the city are just like you, and everyone will welcome you! ”

These women from the Ming Dynasty stood in a circle with evasive eyes, and they were both curious and frightened in the face of this group of short-haired and dark-faced people.

However, when I saw these good fields, I felt that the place was not so unbearable.
