After another three days, the two stab wounds on the back of the hall owner were scarred. After changing the medicine in the morning, he took Shen Yun's shoulders and went around the yard. In the afternoon, he was able to walk slowly on his own.

Five days later, the hideous scars were gone, and the owner of the pavilion was able to move freely. He decided to take Shen Yun to the provincial capital two days later.

No, the next evening, Lao Hong, the gatekeeper, hurriedly delivered a letter. The letter was written by a friend of the provincial capital of the pavilion owner, saying that according to reliable information, the rebels were approaching the provincial capital in two ways, and they were afraid that they would be encircled. The provincial capital is now an eventful season, and he intends to take his family to avoid his hometown.

Since he noticed that there was a big disaster in the gym, Liu began to secretly arrange a way out. He intended to let Fu Lei go to a friend's house in the provincial capital to avoid trouble, and he was worried that Fu Lei would not leave if he knew the truth, so he wrote a letter to his friend in advance, discussed it, and deceived Fu Lei to the provincial capital in the name of giving a New Year's gift. When the latter arrived in the provincial capital, his friend told him the truth.

Now, my friend wants to avoid the war and go back to his hometown, and his plans have changed. He had to rearrange Fu Lei. So, he decided to rush to the provincial capital overnight.

"Yunwa, I'll go to the provincial capital to have a look. If there is nothing to do in the provincial capital, I will pick you up again. You wait in the village first. He instructed, "Lao Hong will take care of you." ”

Zhengjiazhuang is an industry that he secretly placed under a pseudonym, located in the suburbs of Yongan County, a neighboring county in Shixiu County. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the location is remote, except for nearby hunters hunting in the surrounding area, they will pass by occasionally, and there are basically no people coming and going on weekdays.

The people in Zhuangzi are also very simple: the steward Lao Hong was taken in by his father during his lifetime, and there are four other tenants. In front of people, he deliberately hid his identity. Except for Lao Hong, no one knew that he was the real master of Zhuangzi. It was this time that he came to recuperate, and in order to hide his identity, he also lived in the guest house as a guest. Before Shen Yun came, only Lao Hong came to take care of him.

Therefore, he is not worried that the enemy family will be able to find here. Yunwa lives in Zhuangzi and is safe.

"Yes. "These days, Shen Yun lives in Zhuangzi, and he is familiar with Lao Hong, so he doesn't feel sad about living alone in the guest house. Besides, the provincial city is in danger, and the hall owner is deliberately going to visit Brother Fu to do serious things, how can he drag his feet? More importantly, the gym is in great trouble, but the hall owner and Grandpa Liu have not forgotten him and have taken good care of him. He is to be content. This kindness should be remembered even more.

In the evening, the owner of the Liu Pavilion rode away on a fast horse.

He quietly left from the path behind Zhuangzi, and only Lao Hong and Shen Yun saw him off.

Shen Yun was very reluctant to Pavilion Master Liu. After Pavilion Master Liu left, he quickly climbed the small hill on the side and watched him leave.

It was almost dark, and Lao Hong was afraid that he was not familiar with the road, so he stumbled and stumbled, and followed silently.

Seeing that the figure of the hall owner turned into a small black dot and disappeared at the end of the official road, Lao Hong patted Shen Yun on the shoulder: "Go back." If the gentleman goes, he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune. ”

"Hmm. Shen Yun nodded vigorously.

Lao Hong's family lived in Zhuangzi's East Cross Courtyard. Because during the period when Pavilion Master Liu was recuperating from his injury, every time Hu Langzhong came to change the dressing, Shen Yun sent it to the gate of Zhuangzi, so Lao Hong's family knew that Shen Yun was a little guest in the village.

After the owner of the Liu Pavilion left, Lao Hong saw that his little doll was living alone in the guest house, strangely lonely, so he took him to his home the next day.

Lao Hong is a widower, and his mother-in-law passed away five years ago, leaving him with two sons and a daughter: the eldest daughter, who was married many years ago, and her mother-in-law's family is in Yong'an County; The eldest son's name is Zhuzi, and he just got married a few years ago, and the second son, who is also 15 years old this year, is looking at each other's relatives.

Tie Zi has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is a very standard peasant boy, has a hearty temperament, and is quite popular in Zhuangzi. Lao Hong asked Shen Yun to live in a room with him.

The two quickly got acquainted.

It was the spring ploughing season, and Lao Hong and his two sons had to go to the fields to do things like the tenants. Niutouao Village is all mountainous and has no paddy fields. Shen Yun had never seen an ox pull a plow, so he was very curious, and proposed to the tether that he would follow him to the field early tomorrow morning.

The tether scratched his head: "You are still young, what are you doing in the field?" ”

Morning glory is fine. As long as you don't eat idle meals, it's fine. Shen Yun happily agreed.

The next day, when the day was dawning, he followed the leash to the cowshed.

There was only one cow in the shed. It was well cared for, fat and strong, with thick crescent-like horns, and fur like black satin.

The leash reached out and touched the cow's back: "This is the big buffalo in the family, three and a half years old, with great strength." We all call it the Big Black. ”

Da Hei let out a "moo" and rubbed the tether with the huge bull's head.

Shen Yun saw that his heart was itching, and asked, "Brother Lianzi, can I touch Da Hei?"

"Okay. "It has a gentle temperament and does not deceive life." ”

Shen Yun cautiously leaned over and tried to reach out and touch the broad cow's back.

Big Black just turned his head and glanced at him.

Shen Yun smiled and narrowed his eyes: "It's really good-tempered." ”

While adding fodder to Dahei, the leash said, "If you are familiar with it, it will be no problem to ride on its back." The dolls in Zhuangzi all like to play with Dahei. ”

"How do you know it?" Shen Yun asked.

"Big Black is gluttonous. Just feed it. ”

So, Shen Yun also took a small handful of dry straw and carefully sent it to Da Hei's mouth: "Brother Tie, is that so?"

"Well, that's right. The leash nodded.

The big black comer did not refuse, and rolled the dried straw with his tongue, and chewed it.

Shen Yun had the courage to reach out and touch its forehead.

This time, Daikoku didn't even lift his eyelids.

Sure enough, there is something to eat!Shen Yun giggled happily.

When the tether saw this, he told him how to add fodder to the ox. After Shen Yun learned, he cleaned the cowshed himself. While sweeping, he talked to Shen Yun about Da Hei's habits. For example, the big black is so clean that the cowshed has to be cleaned once a day. When Da Hei comes back from work, he must brush his hair again, and before Da Hei works, he must be fed at least half an hour in advance. Otherwise, Da Hei will be cowardly, and he will not be able to work alone, and Da Hei's favorite food is grass. Now there is no grass, so it has to eat dried straw, and the amount of food will be reduced......

Shen Yun fed the cow and listened to it with relish.

After the tether finished sweeping the cowshed, he could already touch the two black horns at will.

After breakfast, Lao Hong took his two sons to the field. The tether spoke and counted, and assigned the task of morning glory to Shen Yun.

Da Hei obviously remembered the grace of a meal, and the tame Ren Shenyun led it. The latter was so happy that he didn't close his mouth.

Seeing this, Lao Hong didn't say anything, walked in front with a hoe, and acquiesced to Shen Yun's joining.

Because of the good popularity of the tether, in less than half a day, not only the tenants in the field got to know Shen Yun, the little guest of the village, but also the children in the village also accepted this new playmate with big eyes and "Si Swenwen". Well, this is what the tenants say about Shen Yun: he wears clean cotton clothes and trousers, his hair is neatly combed, and his complexion is fair. When he laughed, his big eyes turned into two small moon buds, revealing a pair of small dimples, which in the eyes of the tenants were really very gentle.

Ploughing is followed by irrigation, and then, seedlings are raised...... Unconsciously, the weather gradually warmed up, and Shen Yun took off his thick cotton clothes and changed into jackets.

In Zhuangzi, in addition to insisting on practicing martial arts and helping adults do farm work, he also went down to the fields with the children in the village to touch loaches, go up the mountain to collect firewood, secretly go down to the river to swim, and play together. As a result, his little face was tanned, and his height grew more than half an inch, as if he had become an authentic peasant baby.

However, there has been no news from the owner yet.

I don't know what happened to the hall owner and Brother Fu now? Shen Yun was very concerned, and asked Lao Hong several times in private.

Because the owner of the Liu Pavilion rarely came to Zhuangzi before, and rarely contacted Lao Hong, the latter had long been accustomed to not hearing from his master for a year and a half. In this regard, he always replied unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Mr. is young and promising, and he will be fine." Mr. hasn't come yet, it must be that the big things in the provincial capital haven't been done yet. ”

Shen Yun listened, so he could only press his temperament and wait patiently.

When the rice was fragrant and the harvest was immediate, the peace in the Zhuangzi was suddenly shattered - Lao Hong's eldest daughter's family suddenly fled to the Zhuangzi.

They brought the latest news from the provincial capital:

The rebels captured the provincial capital. The big men in the immortal mansion led the immortal rune soldiers to abandon the city and flee.

The rebels pursued and killed along the way, capturing many cities along the way. It is said that Shixiu County was also one of the targets of the rebels, and they took a fancy to the mines in the north of Shixiu County. As a result, not only Shixiu County was in chaos, but the other two counties next to him, Yongan County and Fengcheng County, were also in chaos.

"I heard that wherever the rebels went, they killed, looted, and burned all the evils, and everyone was so afraid that those who could escape fled from the city. "Lao Hong's uncle opened a grain store in Yongan County, and he is very well-informed.

Lao Hong panicked for the first time: "Will they make trouble in Zhuangzi?"

My uncle was not sure: "I heard that the rebels are very short of food, so they cleaned up a lot of villages along the way...... Father-in-law, we will only stay in Zhuangzi for one night, and tomorrow we will continue to walk south, and go to my aunt's house in Gunan City to hide for a while. Come with us!"

"I can't go!" Lao Hong was very resolute, "I want to guard the Zhuangzi for the master." The rice in the field is about to ripen, and I can't leave. ”

"Dad, as soon as the rebels came, their lives were gone. Where can you take care of the rice!" The eldest daughter was so anxious that she burst into tears.

Lao Hong was silent for a long time, and said categorically: "I'll stay, you take the pillar and the two of you, as well as the tether and Brother Yun." ”

Before, the eldest daughter took her family back to her parents' house twice, because she knew that Yun Ge'er was the nephew of the owner of the village and was a guest at the village. They did not object.

That night, Shen Yun was told that he would flee south with them early tomorrow morning to avoid the military disaster.
