Zhuang Dingchun was naturally disappointed.

Li Chen'an did not go to the Old Rain Tower, he took Zhongli Ruoshui's five daughters, dressed up in disguise, and left the palace in the heavy snow to go to the slum in the northwest of Yujing City.

The slums are full of low, dilapidated little houses, and at this time, the place is extremely quiet.

Almost all the men in the family have gone out to find a little work to earn a few pennies to solve the problem of dinner.

Even many of the women left their homes and went to the door of a large family to see if they could get a little pulp washing.

Most of the people left behind in this place are the old people and children who cannot support themselves.

There are, of course, exceptions.

For example, Peng Dazhui, who lives at the west end of Yangguan Alley.

It was very windy and snowy outside, and although the old wooden door was closed, it could not stop the cold wind from squeezing in through the crack in the door.

Charcoal for heating is not available.

As for the cotton clothes to keep out the cold...... It is in tatters, only the function of covering shame remains, and it has lost its function of keeping warm.

Even if Peng Dazhui was strong, he tightened the torn cotton jacket on his body under the invasion of the cold wind, looked at his wife holding the child, and said:

"If it goes on like this, don't talk about the New Year, it's a big problem to get by."

"On the day the regent ascended the throne, I went to join in the fun, and I came back to tell you about it...... Have you thought about it? ”

Yang Huai hugged his two-year-old son tightly, and sighed after a long time:

"They're going to check their accounts!"

"We're black!"

"With your skills, you can probably enter the Ministry of Works...... I also think about the seven-grade official, and I want you to get the silver back every month. ”

"But...... Sledgehammer, we're Hui people! ”

"It's not easy to escape here, Ning Guo and Hui don't deal with it, if the government knows that you are a Hui Hui and arrest you, how can we live!"

Peng Dazhui squatted behind the door to block the cold wind for the two of them, and was silent for a long time:

"But now that it's winter, I really can't find a job...... The blacksmith shop of the old owner Zhou Blacksmith also extinguished the fire, saying that it was better to try to enter the Ministry of Industry than to strike iron by himself, after all, he was a seven-grade official. ”

"Ergou happened to have another serious illness, and the two taels of silver that he had saved up were all spent."

"Yang Langzhong said that the second dog is extremely lacking in nutrients and needs to be slowly regulated, that is, the food should be opened better, which requires money!"

"The big dog died, and your body is also much worse, Yang Langzhong said that it will be difficult to conceive again."

"Even if you are pregnant, if you want to be born smoothly...... It's no different from going to the ghost gate. ”

"We can't take that risk, and we can't do without Ergou anymore."

"I still have a lot of strength, and I am also good at the craft of making armor, if I can get the recommendation of the Zhou Dongjia, maybe for the sake of this craft, they won't care whether I am a black family or not."

"Or let's say that it was the snow disaster in the Northern Desert Road two years ago, and we came from the Northern Desert Road."

Yang Huai looked up at her husband.

It was because of this craft that the two were forced to leave their hometown and flee thousands of miles to Ningguo, and they came to Yujing City for more than two years.

In the past two years, they have learned the words of the Central Plains, and they have finally settled down here with the money they have earned with the strength of their husbands.

Of course, life was much more embarrassing than when he was in Hui, but he finally escaped the pursuit of the Golden Horde.

The husband's craft is valuable!

But this is Ning Guo after all!

If the husband sold this craft to Ning Guo, Ning Guo's army was equipped with that fish scale armor...... Its combat effectiveness will be greatly improved!

Will this bring disaster to Hui Hui?

Xu saw his wife's worries, and Peng Dazhui said again:

"Staying alive is the main thing!"

"If King Tiele hadn't threatened your life back then, I would have planned to hand over the technology of the fish scale armor to him......"

"In the past two years, I have also figured out what a country is not a country."

"Where there is room for peace of mind, there is a country."

"I can't even support my wife and children...... What else do you think about your homeland? ”

"I heard that although this emperor of Ningguo is young, he is different...... What they say is that he is different from all emperors. ”

"Roughly speaking, he doesn't care much about those things in the government and politics, but pays more attention to those things in skills."

"He is building the Academy of Sciences at the foot of Qi Mountain outside Changle Palace, and those craftsmen from all over Ningguo are gathered there...... said that the emperor wanted to treat that place as a chicken. ”

Yang Huai was stunned: "Chicken? ”

"Yes, they said it was a chicken that the emperor made to hatch eggs!"

"This egg is all kinds of technology!"

"He invited the most skilled craftsmen from all walks of life to gather the wisdom of all the craftsmen in that academy to make that chicken lay golden eggs."

"So that's when he needs people, and if I build a fish scale armor, I want to ...... He may be able to give us a future. ”

Future!

Yang Huai's eyes, which had long lost their luster because of the torture of life, suddenly lit up.

married Peng Dazhui when he returned to Hui...... Of course, at that time, she was not called Yang Huai, and he was not called Peng Dazhu, which is no longer important.

At that time, he fell in love with him because of his craftsmanship, most of the Hui people were shepherds, and there were many craftsmen, but most of them used wool to weave blankets, but Peng Dazhui was a genius in smelting!

His name is a household name among the Tiele tribe!

Because the iron he made was unique!

After marrying him, what is the future you envision?

It's not that you're rich, it's the respect that comes from your clansmen.

Life was originally happy and stable, but after he created an unprecedented fish scale armor and dedicated it to King Tiele, he ushered in this unexpected disaster.

In the words of the Central Plains, it is roughly a crime.

Her future was shattered, and she never thought about it again.

The only thing she wants now is to live!

The child in her arms can live.

A family of three can survive.

How long has it been winter? Six people have died in this Yangguan alley!

Those who freeze to death are also starved to death!

Thinking that the brown rice in the rice bowl had bottomed out, listening to the cold wind whistling outside the door, Yang Huai hesitated.

The husband said that there was a road, but he didn't know where it would lead.

That's gambling.

It's the life of a family of three!

"But what if...... What if Ning Guo also asked you to hand over the smelting method? ”

"If they want to give it to them, they won't be able to solve the problem in a short time, so I can earn at least a few months of silver."

At that moment, footsteps sounded in the silent alley.

The sound was small, probably muffled by the howling wind and snow.

Peng Dazhui heard it, he didn't care at first, the streets and alleys, there are always people walking.

But then he heard a knock at the door.

It's this chai door behind him!

A man's voice came in:

"Master, the wind and snow are too big, shall we come in to avoid the cold?"

Sheltering from the cold?

This shows that the people outside the door are not from this slum.

At this time, there are very few people in Kyoto, and even if there are, they will not come to this place, because there are no inns, no restaurants, and there are not even steamed cakes and pastry shops.

There are usually two kinds of people who come here -

Gangsters!

Or the yamen's catch!

It's so cold, unless there is a shocking murder, the yamen's arrest will not go out.

That's ...... Bandits!

The husband and wife glanced at each other, their eyes extremely worried.

Peng Dazhui stood up and waved at his wife, and Yang Huai turned around with his son in his arms and walked behind a straw curtain.

Peng Da Hammer took a wood knife from the wall and pinned it to his waist, and he pulled the deadbolt.

The door opened.

A blizzard to get started.

A young man covered in snow stood in front of the door.

He has a dog in his left hand and a jug of wine in his right hand.
