Extra: Cloud and Thunder (2)

In April of the ninth year of Zhaowu, Yun Lei set off with more than a dozen large ships and went out on an expedition. Yun Zhen and Yun Ting, both of them, did not approve of Yun Lei going to sea again, the sea was changing, it was too dangerous. But Yun Lei insisted on leaving, and they didn't have a way.

Yun Lei led countless guards all the way to the island he had encountered. This time, it was his own ship that came out, and the people he brought with him were his cronies, so he didn't have to worry about leaking any news.

This time it went very smoothly, and it took two months to finally come to the desert island that I encountered at the beginning. Yun Lei took people to live on the island, and surveyed the island everywhere. The island is so large that it is estimated that there must be several state capitals. There is no shortage of mountains and rivers and trees on the island, and all kinds of plants and animals are very prosperous.

Yun Lei and others also found silver and copper mines on the island, which is simply a natural treasure trove. Looking at the verdant and beautiful scene in front of him, Yun Lei's heart was also very happy. "In the future, we will build a village here, such a paradise is the best choice for escaping the world."

The group stayed on the island for nearly a year, and after that, Yun Lei led people to continue their exploration in the nearby seas. Sure enough, about a hundred miles away from this island, two other larger islands were discovered, as well as a dozen or so small islands.

Finding these islands, Yun Lei's trip out this time is basically completed. After that, he led the people back, and of course, they turned several places on the way. When you go to sea, you always have to make some transactions with overseas countries. Otherwise, how should I explain to others when I return to China?

In this way, Yun Lei and his entourage finally returned to Da Zhou in June of the eleventh year of Zhaowu. After being away from home for two years, Yun Lei was already homesick, and he didn't care that they still brought so much cargo on the ship, so he threw it directly to the steward of the ship to watch and deal with it. He took a gift for his family and rushed back to the capital all the way.

Yun Lei came back very suddenly, and others didn't know the news. When he returned to his mansion, the porter saw Yun Lei, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to say. "Master, you can be regarded as coming back, in the past two years, the big guys have been hanging their hearts." The steward of the porter remembered it and hurriedly asked someone to report inside.

Where can Yunlei wait? Regardless of the person in front of him going to report the news, he waved his hand and asked people to move all the things in the back into the house. He walked in quickly. When he had just passed the second gate, he saw Ruth coming out with a few children and a group of people.

Among the people who came to greet him, there was a little boy about two or three years old, who was being held by Ruth, looking at Yunlei with a puzzled expression. "Jin'er, this is your father, call him father." Ruth pointed to Yunlei and said to the child in her arms.

That little boy looks eight points similar to Yun Lei, and at first glance he is Yun Lei's child. After all, they are connected by blood, but the laughing boy is not afraid at all, and stretches out his little hand towards Yun Lei, "Daddy, hug." ”

Yun Lei couldn't help but be stunned, "Ruth, this? ”

"It wasn't until you left that I realized I had it again. The fifth child born in the first month of the second year, you are not at home, and the third brother helped to give the name Jiajin. Ruth said with a smile.

Yun Lei's eyes were hot, and he stepped forward and hugged his son, "Jin'er, I'm your father." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ruth, "Thank you for your hard work." Ruth was pregnant and gave birth, but she couldn't be by her side anymore, Yun Lei felt very sorry in his heart.

"What are you talking about? I'm your wife, and that's as it should be. Ruth smiled and didn't complain anything.

Over there, the three little girls couldn't help it, and suddenly surrounded them, "Daddy, you've been out for so long, don't you want Xi'er and your sister anymore?" ”

Yun Lei laughed, "I want to think of you, I miss each of you." Let's go, go into the house with Daddy, and let Daddy take a good look at the three daughters of my family. ”

"Xi'er, Xiao'er, your father has returned from thousands of miles, and he is already tired. Let Daddy freshen up first, and I'll play with you later. Obediently, don't make trouble, do you hear? Ruth glared at the girls, and then drove the three daughters away.

"Jin'er, let my mother hold you, your father is tired." Ruth took her son, held her son in her arms, and then said softly to Yun Lei, "Go wash it first, change your clothes, look at your body, it's all dirt." I'm going to let people report to the eldest brother and second brother, and at night, almost all the big guys can come over, just to be lively. ”

Yun Lei didn't have any opinions, and did what his wife said.

The news of Yun Lei's return was soon known to everyone, and all the big guys gathered at Yun Lei's house to celebrate together. Yun Lei called the two elder brothers, as well as Tianfu, to the study and told everyone the real purpose of his going out this time.

"Second brother, third brother, Tianfu, this matter will be kept secret for the time being. This is a retreat for our family, and we must not disclose it unless we have to. In the past few years, I will often go to sea and gradually transfer some of my family's properties to the past. In the future, the children of the family, who are willing to go to sea with me, will follow. ”

"The officialdom is sinister, and no one can predict what kind of situation the Han family will face in the future. If there is an accident in the future, our family will all be evacuated overseas, so that we can keep the bloodline of the Han family. Yun Lei said very seriously.

Everyone didn't expect that the purpose of Yunlei going to sea turned out to be this. Yun Zhen stretched out his hand and patted his younger brother's shoulder, "Fourth brother, thank you for your hard work." This matter, let's do as you say, leave a way for future generations, and it can be regarded as a little contribution we have made to the Han family. ”

How many years of ups and downs in the Huan Sea, of course Yun Zhen would not be naΓ―ve to think that the Han family would be able to prosper all the way, and no one dared to say what would happen in the future.

In the following days, Yun Lei would go to sea once every year or two, and take a lot of people to that island. Gradually, several villages were built on the desert island, and some of the original servants of the Han family stayed there. Later, Yun Lei simply took his wife and children to live on the island, and the children and grandchildren of Yun Zhen and others also moved over.

Two hundred years later, the Great Zhou Dynasty was invaded by foreign tribes and eventually collapsed. The descendants of the Han, Shen, and Song families desperately escorted the Qin family to overseas, and finally preserved the bloodline of the Qin family. Since then, several families have lived in seclusion overseas and lived a life without quarrels.
