Chapter 06: Something Happened

"Don't forget how many forks in power we have changed in Guanzhong over the years, just the first year of the Republic of China was a three-day change of mountains.

Those days were really bitter, fighting and fighting every day, and it was our people who suffered.

Just last year, I heard that the provincial governor system was abolished, and I forgot what the head was called.

This year, there was a Weihua uprising, and General Liu was in power for a while, and General Feng was in power for a while.

Where was the business of my old Feng family given to Huo Huo by this group of sword bandits, it was not a natural disaster, it was this group of soldiers and officials.

Once I came to my old Feng family, I had to peel off my skin once.

I don't know if the Feng family's huge foundation can be kept in this year of calamity. ”

As Master Feng spoke, he sighed with emotion.

He is not young, in his sixties, this is a long time to live.

There were five sons and one daughter under his knees, and the eldest and second were slaughtered by those who were soldiers when they gave money and food to the army who passed by.

The third child died young, and the fourth child almost died on the woman's belly, and now it is no longer humane, and the daily medicinal soup hangs.

It's just that the fifth child is still a little promising, he went to a new-style school when he was young, and he originally wanted to join the army, but he pulled him back.

He didn't understand how cruel the battlefield was, but he was counting on this one son to inherit the incense.

It's just that although the youngest son is smart, he disagrees with him all day long, and he has no interest in running the family business.

Therefore, now Master Feng is very worried.

"By the way, I heard that there is a very powerful character among these victims?"

Master Feng's opening made Steward Liu stunned.

I secretly scolded the people below for reporting everything to the old man if they were not sensible, but he still smiled and said, "Master, this is a bastard boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, and he dares to speak wildly before his hair grows." ”

"Oh~ Forget it, sir, I just ask casually, you don't have to take it to heart. Okay, go down, take care of the night's precautions these days, don't let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes. ”

Hearing this, Master Feng's face didn't change much, he just nodded lightly, and waved his hand indifferently.

Steward Liu nodded again and again, saluted, and then bowed and retreated.

——

At night, Zhao Ming lay on the Chase bunk, but he still held his broken knife and did not sleep, not because of the series of snoring around him.

It was difficult for him to fall asleep in a strange place, a habit he had developed during his time of escaping the famine.

Glancing at Tao Yan lying beside him, the woman also did not sleep.

Even if she had closed her eyes to death, it was not difficult for Zhao Ming to tell through the other party's tense muscles that the other party had not fallen asleep.

The woman seemed to be afraid of touching other people, so she just lay on her side and clinged to Zhao Ming.

The area where everyone can lie down in this kind of chase shop is already small, and this woman is wearing a fairly thick dress, even if the hot sweat is still not relaxed.

Zhao Ming knew that this might be the suspension bridge effect.

He understands the sophistication of human feelings, but he doesn't understand the affairs of men and women, as long as the woman is not in the way at the critical moment.

He always felt that this Zhuangzi was not very safe.

"Is it because of my long-term mental tension?"

Zhao Ming sighed in his heart, he knew very well that he was so nervous every day that it would have great disadvantages to his body in the long run.

Suddenly, his ears moved, and when he moved his eyes, he saw that there seemed to be a figure walking by outside the window.

Not only that, but then several figures walked by, and the sound of these people stepping on was extremely subtle, if it weren't for Zhao Ming's high level of nervousness, it would be difficult to notice.

Tao Yan also opened her eyes, and she seemed to hear something.

Just as she wanted to say something, the man in front of her shook his head at her silently.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Zhao Ming get out of bed quietly, and walked to the window without shoes.

Put your finger in your mouth and wet it, and then puncture the paper window.

When the paper is stained with water, it becomes soft so that there is no sound when it is punctured.

His eyes poked out, and he glanced around the hole, and Zhao Ming couldn't help frowning.

It's weird!

It stands to reason that this huge Zhuangzi is facing the threat of strongmen, and must arrange for people to patrol every night, but at this time, it is pitch black outside, only a little moonlight shining, and there is not a single torch.

It is normal to hear some voices of men and women making peace close to the window, so many men and women are huddled together, doing nothing all day, and it is inevitable that something will happen that is not on the stage.

"Isn't Fengjiazhuang in the habit of sentry on weekdays? Or are you reluctant to use oil? ”

Zhao Ming felt that something was wrong, and that bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ming wanted to push the door to check the situation, and thought that the knife had not been taken yet, so he turned around to get the knife.

Just as he was about to leave, a white hand grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Tao Yan was looking at him with blank eyes, as if Zhao Ming was her only spiritual support.

It's just that when Zhao Ming frowned, Tao Yan shrank back with interest.

But his eyes were still staring at Zhao Ming until Zhao Ming disappeared into the night.

——

At this time, a room was brightly lit, and a group of shirtless men were drinking and boxing, and someone was playing dice next to them.

The hearty laughter, accompanied by foul language, kept coming out of the mouths of these people.

"Haha! Boss, you have lost again, willing to gamble and lose, drink! Drink! ”

"It's the boss, can't you always let the brothers drink it?"

Hearing this, Chang Wei was also bold, and when he picked up the wine bowl on the table, his throat surged, and he drank it all.

Syllable!

", come again!" Putting down the wine cup, Chang Wei was very unconvinced.

Bang dang! ~

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and everyone was startled and turned their heads.

They can be regarded as lazy, if they are seen by the steward or Master Feng, they will be scolded and their wages will be deducted.

It's just that when they saw the person standing quietly at the door, everyone was stunned.

Some people don't know this person at all, but there are a few people who do.

"Brother Zhao? You don't sleep this big night....."

Seeing the comer, Chang Wei got up a little suspicious.

He still has a good impression of this Brother Zhao, although this person looks cold, but he also knows that most people who have the ability to talk don't talk much.

"Don't patrol in Zhuangzi?"

Zhao Ming just said to himself.

"Patrolling? Of course, there are nearly 100 people in this nursing home, and everyone guarantees that there are thirty or forty people who take turns to inspect on weekdays. Chang Wei was a little puzzled.

"Then look, why is there no fire outside?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Chang Wei was stunned, and after a little hesitation, he walked towards the door, and he was in a cold sweat at this glance.

"Boss, don't pay attention to this kid, who is he? Let's still drink ours, didn't that kid take his brother on patrol with his brother? ”

A drunken brother stretched out his hand to drag Chang Wei back.

Syllable!

"Drink! Drink! Drink to death, you've got it! ”

A slap slapped over, and Chang Wei immediately shouted angrily.

"Let's go! Take the guys, go up to the wall and take a look, this Wang Lao Er won't have drunk too much horse urine and fell down, right?"

scolded in his mouth, but Chang Wei didn't feel good in his heart, picked up the knife in the corner and began to walk out.
