In the twilight Sihe, the backyard of the Zhu family burst into the fragrance of rice.

I have to say that the old lady is really a genius.

Over the years, the chaos has become a pot of porridge, bandits have been rampant, and even the Qing army has entered the Kou several times, and the land of Shandong has not been spared.

The survival experience honed over the years can be summed up as being prepared.

The old lady was next to the vegetable cellar and dug a dark room to hide the grain.

I usually put some radish and cabbage outside, black and dirty, no one would have thought that there were still good things in it. And because the portal is hidden, even if you go down, you may not be able to see it.

If it weren't for the fact that the people outside rushed in too quickly and didn't have time to move the dishes outside, the old lady would have hid in.

In this world, a housewife was forced to become a master of survival, and Zhu Yiyuan was left with only lamentation.

"Master, how long do you think this mess will last, can we avoid it?" The old lady tried to ask.

Daddy paused, bowed his head silently, and couldn't speak.

The old lady was anxious, and subconsciously looked at Zhu Yiyuan, wanting to see what this long-eyed son had.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yiyuan said slowly: "I'm afraid I can't hide...... The Qing court implemented shaving hair, and the Zhang family acted for the tiger, how long can we hide at home? As long as someone finds out, it won't end well. I think we have to go! ”

"Let's go? Where to? Daddy asked.

Zhu Yiyuan lowered his head, stiffened his face, and said after a while: "If you shave your hair, you can survive, okay?" ”

Father Zhu was shocked, his son Zhu Yiyuan just didn't want to shave his hair, so he jumped into the well, and now he says that shaving his hair can live...... What does this mean?

The old lady didn't care about this, and said with a straight face: "I still say that, it's better to die than to live!" As long as the three of us can be together, it's better than anything else! ”

Zhu Yiyuan was stunned for a long time, he didn't want to die because of the two lives, so he simply said: "Then there are only two ways left, one is to escape to a place that the Qing court can't control, and you can live without shaving your hair, which is not easy." ”

"The second is to leave Qingshiji, you don't have to avoid the Qing court, but you have to stay away from the Zhang family, today they have sent so many families to help the court, and they will definitely not give up. Only by avoiding their eyes and ears can they survive. ”

Father Zhu was slightly stunned, he didn't want to die, his son could see it, and he didn't have to worry about anything.

"Even Ying Tian was lost, and Emperor Hongguang heard that he was captured. We can't run that far, so we can only think of a way nearby. "Daddy Zhu's meaning is also to avoid the Zhang family.

Zhu Yiyuan has just arrived, and he really doesn't have any ideas.

At this time, it was the old lady who spoke: "Our family has relatives in Yanzhou Mansion, and there is some prestige in the family business. As long as you flee south, you will have a way to live. ”

When Dad heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Madam, you are really a female Zhuge , if our family doesn't have you, I don't know what to do!" ”

The old lady snorted, "Don't talk nonsense, this time you escaped, you can't rely on the identity of the clan anymore and have nothing to do, life will only get harder and harder, I can't hold it alone." ”

Daddy's face turned red, and he nodded again and again, "I can write and calculate, I will definitely find a way to support the family with you." ”

Zhu Yiyuan also followed: "I, I will also find a way." ”

"You, if you can take care of your body, don't jump into the well and scare your mother."

The old lady glared at Zhu Yiyuan helplessly.

Since you have decided to leave, you must pack up some things, although the house has been robbed, you can still find two pieces of torn clothes, and the rations cannot be less.

"Master, you go to rest with your son, he escaped death, he is already tired, I'll go get some food, get ready, let's go."

Zhu Yiyuan had the heart to help his mother, but he was really weak and powerful, so he could only go to rest first...... He slept soundly until he woke up to find that it was dawn.

Zhu Yiyuan hurriedly sat up, moved his arms and legs slightly, recovered a lot, and at least could walk, Zhu Yiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Dragging a burden, you can't run far if you want to.

When he arrived at the courtyard, his father was there.

"Leaving now?"

Father Zhu hesitated slightly, and said uneasily: "How can I hear the sound of horses' hooves, it seems to be coming this way." ”

Zhu Yiyuan was stunned, and hurriedly leaned down, his ears were close to the ground, indeed, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

Is it possible that you can't run even if you want to?

Sure enough, this group of people came straight to Zhu's house.

Zhu Yiyuan and his father hurriedly went to the back, and the old lady also came out, and when they took the rice, they moved the dishes in the cellar away, just so that they could hide in it.

But before he had taken a few steps, someone rushed into the door of Zhu's house, and it was too fast to dodge.

"Is Master Zhu here?"

"Where is Lord Zhu? Our leader wants to see you! ”

When Zhu Yiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, calling Lord Zhu didn't seem to be malicious, but it couldn't be said well......

At this moment, another deep voice came, "In Xia Xie Qian, I have come to visit Master Zhu, and I have something urgent to discuss." ”

Just about to run away, someone came, and my father's face changed suddenly, what should I do? Can't see it?

"Let's meet, there are so many people, and I can't hide from them." Zhu Yiyuan said with a stiff face, the name Xie Qian made him feel inexplicably familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere......

Father Zhu was helpless, and went forward, he wanted Zhu Yiyuan to stay behind, it was enough for him to face it alone. But Zhu Yiyuan still followed closely and went to the front yard.

In front of them, hundreds of people suddenly appeared, and the courtyard was crowded inside and outside the courtyard.

The first one is a burly man with blazing eyes and murderous spirit.

This battle really scared the Zhu family's father and son.

Instead, the leader jumped off his horse and took the initiative to say hello, "I am here, I take the liberty to come." Lord Zhu, is Ling Lang behind it? ”

Father Zhu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." ”

"Didn't he throw himself into a well?" Xie Qian was puzzled, before he came, he had already asked the villagers, and the big guys saw Zhu Yiyuan throwing himself into the well, but they didn't know that he was rescued by his father again.

"Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, this child jumped into the well for more than half an hour, and he didn't die." Father Zhu sighed.

When Xie Qian heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yiyuan a few more times, and said angrily: "King Jinglong doesn't dare to accept it, it is really a catastrophe and there will be a blessing if you don't die." Master Zhu, let's talk inside! ”

How dare the father and son of the Zhu family refuse, "Please, please!" ”

Father Zhu was in front, and Zhu Yiyuan also followed, leading Xie Qian to the living room. Due to the looting, it was a mess, and the tables, chairs and benches were not complete, and the three members of the Zhu family wanted to run, so naturally they didn't have the heart to clean up, so they could only sit down casually.

Xie Qian didn't care, as soon as he sat down with his buttocks, he took out a small yellow notebook, and then calmly said: "Zhao Taiyang is healthy, and he is good at watching longevity." Zhenju Xi and Da, Kangzhuang meets Benning...... Lord Zhu, this is your family's genealogy, right? ”

Both of them were stunned, these twenty words were indeed given by Zhu Yuanzhang to the lineage of King Lu, and their clan identity was not casually said, but how did Xie Qian get it?

Could it be that Xie Qian's people came to their house to rob them and took away all the food and property?

However, at this moment, the two of them dared not speak angrily, and Father Zhu's voice trembled: "If you thank the leader, our family is indeed the Lu royal clan, and the villagers know it." ”

Xie Qian was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Lord Zhu, my subordinates have no intention of offending, and here I Xie Qian apologize to you." As a token of my apology, I have a special gift. ”

After speaking, Xie Qian turned around, only to see his subordinates holding a box.

When I opened it, there was a bloody head inside!

Daddy Zhu's eyes were dark and he almost fainted.

Fortunately, Zhu Yiyuan was quick and hurriedly helped, he was also angry, what kind of gift is it to give a human head? What is this Xie Qian going to do?

"Master Zhu, and Master Zhu, take a good look at whose head this is."

As he spoke, Xie Qian grabbed the pig's tail and lifted his head.

At this time, the two of them saw clearly that this person was not very old, and it was Zhang Xu, the young master of the Zhang family who forced Zhu Yiyuan to jump into the well.

He's dead!

The enemy who was arrogant and domineering yesterday and forced Zhu Yiyuan to commit suicide by jumping into a well turned his head so quickly. Father and son looked at each other in shock.

Xie Qian explained with a smile: "Lord Zhu, Master Zhu, this Zhang family is grateful to the Ming Emperor, and he doesn't think about retribution, but rushes to shave his head and be a slave to the Tartars. Yesterday, he brought people to Qingshiji, and Xie mobilized his brothers to besiege Dazhuang Village. Zhang Xu led the people back to rescue him in a hurry, and I led the elite brothers to intercept and kill them halfway, scattered his people, killed dozens of them, and cut off the head of this beast, which was really happy! ”

Speaking of this experience, Xie Qian is eyebrows are flying, his whole body is comfortable, and since he started the army, he has finally done a big thing. His words completely solved Zhu Yiyuan's doubts.

Yesterday, the Zhang family's family members, as well as those officials, forced the big guys to shave their hair, and they definitely won't retreat for no reason.

It must have been Xie Qian's troops who scared them away.

In this way, Xie Qian really saved the two of them.

"Xie Leader Gao Yi, I, I can't thank you enough." Father Zhu hurriedly thanked him.

Xie Qian smiled again: "Lord Zhu doesn't have to be polite, in fact, I also have something wrong, yesterday a team of brothers was not restrained, they were originally here to attack the lackeys of the official mansion in Qingshiji, but I don't know what happened, the official eagle dog is gone, they ...... However, it can be regarded as a crooked fight, and when I checked the looted things, I found this genealogy, and I knew that in the Qingshi set, there was actually a Ming clan. ”

Xie Qian said vaguely, but Zhu Yiyuan understood that the people under him were called righteous soldiers if they heard it well, and they were thieves if they didn't sound good!

Do you expect these people to prohibit it, and Qiu has not committed any crimes?

Obviously unrealistic, Qingshiji and Zhangjia's Dazhuang Village are next to each other, and there happens to be a group of people running Qingshiji to rob, which is also unavoidable.

It's really hard to explain the mess of grievances here.

It's Xie Qian, won't he just send Zhang Xu's head and give them two anger, right?

Sure enough, Xie Qian said with a smile: "Lord Zhu, at this time, there are many righteous armies in Shandong, and the people's hearts are available, I plan to support Lord Zhu as the king of Lu, and order Qilu Haojie, let's drive away the Tartars in one go!" ”
