Chapter 70: The White Clothes Are Hard to Cross (II)
Difficult to cross in white (II)
When Mei Ruolan heard this, she was about to subconsciously shake her head, and Cheng Baiyi hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I'll tell you a story, and then make a decision after you listen to it." ”
Cheng Baiyi pressed his hands on Mei Ruolan's shoulders at this time, Mei Ruolan frowned, but still sat down again.
"Listen to me, and if you want to leave, I won't stop you. And will show you the way to the Hou Ye's Mansion. ”
Mei Ruolan looked at him with a frown, and finally nodded.
Cheng Baiyi smiled faintly and glanced at the sky outside the door, which tore through the darkness of the night in the early morning, revealing some glimmers. He thought about it, walked out the door first, and it didn't take long for him to return with two bowls of hot soy milk.
He handed a bowl to Mei Ruolan.
"They, they want to go to the city to sell soy milk early, but fortunately I went in time. In the morning, drink this warmest. ”
Mei Ruolan nodded, took a sip, and looked at Cheng Baiyi.
Cheng Baiyi took a sip, smacked his lips, and finally said slowly.
"Nineteen years ago, there was a family of four living in Jingmen Prefecture, a husband and wife with two brothers. At that time, there were many water pirates in Jingmen Prefecture, and the world was in the midst of a war to change the dynasty. ”
Cheng Baiyi's voice was very soft, and his eyes became a little erratic.
......
At that time, there was only the Ji Dynasty, and the Xuanyuan Clan was nothing more than the most inconspicuous rebel army among the rebellious princes.
Because of the chaotic world, the people are miserable, and the waterways in Jingmen Prefecture are vertical and horizontal, and many mountains and dangerous rivers are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, many people have dropped the farm tools in their hands, picked up kitchen knives, and plunged into the boiling river with a fierce man, making a living of "blocking the river and eating".
Because Jingmen Prefecture is located in a dangerous place, and agriculture was quite developed before, it is not only the granary of the south, but also the terrain is dangerous, and there has always been a saying that "those who get Jingmen Prefecture get the south".
Unfortunately, because of the terrain and the large number of water pirates, Jingmen Prefecture is difficult to capture, and it has been in the midst of war.
If Jingmen Prefecture is only proposed, there are so many forces in it, it is so complicated, and its situation is even more chaotic than the whole world.
Cheng Zhengtang is an honest and authentic farmer, and this name is rumored to have been given by Mr. Private School, which means that he hopes that he will be an upright person.
At that time, the status of private school teachers was not so high, because there was no imperial examination system, and many people would rather let their children learn a trade than waste their money and time to learn those "useless" things.
No matter how highly educated you are, under the probation system, if there is no one to recommend. Full of talent and knowledge, on the contrary, will become the object of ridicule of everyone.
"Sir, how many bowls do you have to learn to fill your belly?" the peddler's pawn laughed, and even a beggar would say the same when he saw a scholar.
This sentence is the epitome of the living conditions of the scholars at that time.
But Cheng Zhengtang, a peasant who couldn't read a single word, respected scholars very much, and he let his sons, Cheng Da and Cheng Er, follow the private school in the village since they were young.
Even when the war broke out, he insisted that his two sons follow his husband to study.
It's a pity that the war is getting stronger and stronger, and in order to defend Jingmen Prefecture, the Taishou at that time can only continue to raise taxes and levy grain and grass to maintain this crisis. But as a result, the village was empty, and the people of Jingmen Prefecture were all good, so they were forced to jump into the water.
Whether it is a merchant ship or a military ship, whether it belongs to the Ji dynasty or the princes of all parties, as long as there is grain and grass on the ship, there are treasures. will encounter water piracy attacks, even if all the princes and the court have been exterminated, they have all been recruited. But the water thieves in Jingmen Prefecture are like mushrooms after the rain, exterminating and recruiting one stubble, and the next stubble will emerge.
In addition to some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the village, Cheng Zhengtang's family was finally left, and they still farmed the land honestly. As for the old gentleman in the private school, he didn't leave, he relied on the relief of Yeguo and Cheng Zhengtang's family, and he barely survived.
Despite the war, the old gentleman still did his studies, and passed on his knowledge to Cheng Zhengtang's two sons.
Because there are people in the village who have done a lot of water piracy, they take care of the village quite a bit.
Not only did no one come to harass them, but occasionally some food was delivered.
Cheng Zhengtang accepted these kindnesses, and even took care of the elderly in the village.
But such days don't last long, and the water thieves make a living, just pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers.
It didn't take long for the blood of the people in the village to stain the river red, and no one would shelter them anymore. There are more troops and pirates passing through here, and there are refugees passing through here.
Many of the old people starved to death, and eventually the entire village was ransacked, and Cheng Zhengtang and his wife also fell into the fire.
In the entire village, only the old gentleman and Cheng Da and Cheng Er survived.
When the disaster struck, the old gentleman happened to send the two children back. The two children watched as their father was brutally murdered and their mother was insulted. The old gentleman tightly covered the mouths of the two children with his arms and strangled them. Eventually, the three of them were left in the village.
The old gentleman and his two children survived with great difficulty, and they ate wild fruits and soil. A few young men passed by the village, and they wanted to loot, but stopped when they saw the scrawny child and the old gentleman.
"Old man, we plan to go into the water (to be water thieves), if you want, take the children with us, and be our military advisor to ensure that you survive
Go, have food. ”
When Mei Ruolan heard this, she was about to subconsciously shake her head, and Cheng Baiyi hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I'll tell you a story, and then make a decision after you listen to it." ”
Cheng Baiyi pressed his hands on Mei Ruolan's shoulders at this time, Mei Ruolan frowned, but still sat down again.

The military advisors ensure that you live and have something to eat. ”
