Deng Ai stumbled to his home, and by this time, his dilapidated thatched house had been burned to ruins.

A group of villagers gathered in front of the ruins, and when they saw Deng Ai coming, they all got out of the way.

Deng Ai rushed to the rubble, and by this time, the villagers had already helped his mother collect the body and wrap it in a straw mat.

Deng Ai stretched out his hand to uncover the straw mat and take one last look at his mother.

"Don't look at it!" The villager who had just gone to call Deng Ai wanted to stop him.

Deng Aide's mother has been burned by the fire, and when she sees it at this time, it is better not to watch it.

However, Deng Ai shook off the hands of the villagers who stopped him and stubbornly lifted the straw mat.

The people in the straw mats had been burned to the ground, and they were charred and blackened. Despite this, Deng Ai was still able to recognize that this was his mother.

At this moment, Deng Ai understood everything, his mother deliberately sent him away, and then committed suicide by setting fire!

A blind old lady couldn't touch the rope when she hanged herself, so she committed suicide by raising a fire, which was the only way for her to commit suicide.

"Mother!"

"You're confused! You're so confused! Deng Ai knelt on the ground and raised his head to the sky and shouted.

At this time, a villager came to Deng Ai's side, holding a clay pot in his hand, which was full of copper coins.

"Deng Ai, this copper coin was found from your house!" The villagers said that they wanted to stuff the clay pot into Deng Ai's arms.

Fire can burn everything else, but it can't burn the copper coins.

These copper coins were found when the villagers came to put out the fire just now.

Deng Ai's martial arts are very good, and his archery skills are also very good, and he usually goes up to the mountains to hunt and harvest very well.

It can be said that it is the most famous hunter in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns.

The prey that Deng Ai hunted, in addition to eating it himself, took it to the town and sold it. He handed over all the money from the sale to his mother for safekeeping.

Deng Ai's mother is a blind old lady, so naturally she can't spend any money.

Usually, after Deng Ai handed over the money to her, she would put the money in a clay pot and save it.

Originally, he was going to keep the money and give Deng Ai a daughter-in-law.

The villagers in this era are still relatively simple, and Deng Ai's family is miserable enough, so they naturally can't embezzle this money.

After seeing Deng Ai return, they immediately returned the money to its original owner.

However, Deng Ai shook his head and said, "Uncles and fellow villagers, please use this money to help me buy a thin-skinned coffin, and I am also buying some funeral supplies, I want to bury my mother." ”

"As for the rest of the money, let's share it among the villagers who put out the fire today!"

Deng Ai understood that the reason why his mother committed suicide was so that he could become a soldier without worry.

In any case, he could not live up to his mother's expectations and could not let his mother die in vain.

Since he is going to be a soldier, it is naturally useless for him to ask for this money, so he simply distributes it to the villagers who are fighting the fire today.

It can also be regarded as a gratitude to them.

Deng Ai usually returns from hunting, and will also distribute some meat to the villagers, so the relationship between the villagers and Deng Ai is very good.

At that time, someone went to help him buy a coffin and buy funeral supplies.

There was a coffin maker in the next village, and in the evening, the coffin was brought in, as well as some funeral supplies such as paper people and paper horses.

After Deng Ai buried his mother that night, he slept on the grave for a night, and the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, he went to the nearest recruiting point and joined the army.

At the same time, Jixian County, Chunxiao Building.

Chunxiao Lou is the largest green building in Jixian County, and it can be said that people come and go on weekdays, and there is an endless stream of guests.

Today, the girl in the green building is organizing a fundraiser.

They donated their private money, as well as some jewelry and jewelry.

Although these Qinglou girls don't know what the righteousness of the family and country is, they know that the Wuhuan people are the most disgusting.

Because Liu Yu and Yuan Shao gave too many privileges to the Wuhuan people, those Wuhuan people often fought the overlord cannon.

They came to the Qinglou, ordered the girl, and after eating and wiping it clean, they patted their butts and left, and they didn't want to pay a dime.

It doesn't matter if you don't give money, these Wuhuan people are still very rude and often hurt these girls.

Therefore, after learning that Prime Minister Cao Cheng was going to fight the Wuhuan people, these girls in the Qinglou actually became the first to raise donations.

The girls of the Qinglou were collecting donations, and the boss of the Qinglou was not idle, she held an incentive activity.

That is, all officers and soldiers in the army can participate in white prostitution activities by virtue of their military merits.

Kill one Wuhuan person and prostitute it for one month, kill two Wuhuan people and prostitute it for three months. Kill three Wuhuan people and prostitute them for a year.

If you kill five Wuhuan people, you will be a lifelong member of this Qinglou.

In a box on the second floor of the Qinglou, a scholar was warming up with a girl in red.

Isn't it a bit to do such a thing in broad daylight?

However, it can't be blamed.

People came last night, and they have been sitting since last night, seven times in one night.

After this last meeting, this scholar is really gone, not a drop is gone.

The scholar put on his clothes, took out a bulging money bag from his bosom and put it on the wall, and said, "Miss Momoka, this is the last time I will come!" ”

"You can keep this money, if you have the opportunity, redeem yourself, and then, find an honest man."

"Find a good family and get married!"

The peach girl on the bed looked at the scholar with tears in her eyes, thinking, what a negative man!

"You"

"You dislike me?" Momoka asked in a choked voice.

However, the scholar said in a firm tone: "How come, I have dreamed of redeeming you all my life and then marrying you." ”

"However, the country is important, and the family is light. Now, Wuhuan has invaded my frontier, and I am going to abandon my pen and join the army. ”

"If I'm gone this time, I may not have a chance to come back alive!"

"You, it's better to find an honest man. Find a good man to marry! ”

After saying this, the scholar strode away and went to the recruiting point in the city.

The peach girl lying on the bed was stunned for a long time, and then muttered, "I'll wait for you!" ”

After saying this, Miss Momoka picked up the money left by the scholar and the private money she usually saved, rushed downstairs, and put it in the red basin of the fundraiser.

ps: To explain one thing, some readers reported that Deng Ai's current age cannot be so old.

Historically, from the eighteenth road princes to the Jin State to destroy the Wu State, this timeline is a total of ninety years, that is to say, the Three Kingdoms turmoil lasted for ninety years.

In our book, there is a protagonist crossing over, and the end of the troubled times must be much faster than history.

In order to let some fierce generals in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, such as Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui, etc., have a chance to play, therefore, they will be appropriately advanced to play the time.

If it is written according to the original timeline, there will definitely be many characters who will not be able to appear.

Now that the crossing has appeared, don't worry about the age of these characters.
