Chapter 2 Stability and Peace
In a courtyard, I remembered the joy of a child, and the few babies who were still swaddling in the gang of people who fled at the beginning were now children who could jump and jump.
A child of four or five years old was riding on a man's body, and next to them were three people dressed in the same clothes as the man.
"Lying on your stomach, lying on your stomach," the child excitedly asked for it.
The child's request seemed unreasonable, but the family under him chose to meet him. The other three family members were also smiling and watching, and even the family member who was riding under the child and suffering was also smiling. There is no anger and grievances, I don't know why everyone is so fond of the unreasonable child in this family.
"Yu'er, don't be unreasonable, Zhao Da, you remember not to spoil him so much in the future!" A dignified and elegant lady walked into the courtyard and said gently. She is Li Huimin's wife Deng Qin, Hengyu's mother. Zhao Tiantian was the one who was ridden under him by Hengyu, and when he heard his wife's teaching, he, like the other family, at least smiled.
"Mother. "The little baby who was still in Deng Qin's arms at the beginning is looking aggrieved at the moment, and he has already learned how to read his face and please adults.
Shaking his head helplessly, Deng Qin lovingly hugged Hengyu from his family, gently patted him on the buttocks, and then told Hengyu to take him to meet his father, and at the same time introduce a few friends to him.
The gentle hostess, the happy family, a peaceful and stable scene, Hengyu lives in such a happy family.
In fact, the group of people who fled at the beginning were all quite happy, and they began to settle down here, as if they forgot their hatred and lived happily here.
Hengyu's father, in terms of his original identity, was a scholar, and he was the most noble one in the crowd. When he came here, he naturally became the master of this place, and hid as the patriarch.
The place they came to was a piece, and during the escape, they got the help of a sailor named Peng Jianjun and came here by boat. This Peng Jianjun once served as the governor of Southern Guangzhou Province Cheng Jigong did things, Cheng Jigong's ability was extremely appreciative, the two later became very good friends, after the "Tianheng" incident, Peng Jianjun led hundreds of soldiers to help Cheng Jigong and others escape, they came here by boat together, and then decided to settle here.
In fact, there were other original inhabitants of Shangshan, and there were also Central Plains people who moved here from different dynasties. The original inhabitants have their own patriarchs, but most of the Central Plains people who live here have some money and have some small businesses, and in order to protect their own interests, the Central Plains people here have always been unwilling to be ruled by the original residents. They hoped that someone from among the Central Plains would come forward to rule the island, all until Li Huimin and others appeared.
Li Huimin and Cheng Jigong led the emergence of a large number of soldiers, changing the peace between the original indigenous people and the Central Plains here. Although the Central Plains people are still inferior in numbers, with the soldiers from the regular army, in terms of combat effectiveness, perhaps the Central Plains people are slightly stronger.
The former indigenous patriarch Lai Wei Ming was not a political ruler, and he only appeared to better defend the interests of the indigenous people. Until Li Huimin appeared, he didn't think about fighting for any rights.
What is rare is that when the forces of both sides are not weak, there is no armed dispute. Both sides want peace.
On the side of the Central Plains, Li Huimin's friend Cheng Jigong chose to live in seclusion in the mountains, and everyone had to elect Li Huimin to control the land. On the side of the indigenous people, after seeing that Li Huimin was a gentle literati, they also chose to back down. Naturally, Li Huimin has become the actual controller here. Lai Wai Ming and his people returned to their accustomed life as fishermen. There are often some material transactions between the two groups of people, and they get along very well.
After taking power, Li Huimin did not say that he wanted to consolidate power. He is not a person who yearns for power, not to mention that he has another place and one thing tied to in his heart. After he came to power, the only thing he did was to build fortifications, and at the same time befriended Lai Weiming and warned the indigenous people to be vigilant. Because he still has pursuers behind him, although the island is well defended, he cannot be relaxed in his attitude.
In the first few years, there were often large numbers of armed forces attacking the area. But after a long time, he gave up. And the indigenous people of the island have also joined the defense of their homeland on several occasions, which has brought the two forces of the island together. Gradually, people lived in peace and stability in this isolated world.
A stable life is particularly precious to the group of people who live after the catastrophe. They even began to forget their hatred and just wanted to be able to live happily together. The children are growing up, but few parents tell their children about the history of the escape, the hatred. This allows those ignorant children in disasters to grow up healthy and strong. Hengyu is one of them.
"Hengyu, these four children are the same age as you, you have to get along with them well in the future. They will live in our Li Mansion and will accompany you for a long time. On this day, Hengyu didn't know why, his father suddenly arranged four friends of the same age for him. At the same time, what he didn't think about was why his father had always arranged for four family members to follow him at all times. Since then, Hengyu's childhood has had more joy.
It was also from that day on, that the elders arranged a course for Hengyu and his four friends that must be practiced every day - martial arts.
Of course, Hengyu doesn't have to be so serious, because it was Hengyu's second uncle, Wang Chong, who called them. Hengyu doesn't know why, his second uncle has a different surname from himself and his father, but his second uncle loves him very much.
The second uncle's love gave him the opportunity to skip class. Except for the freshness when he started learning at the beginning, Heng Yu almost didn't participate in the martial arts training in the back. Whenever the second uncle taught him, he was a bitter complaint. The second uncle indulged him like this.
Time passed day after day, and Hengyu was forced to practice basic skills except for occasional *, and there was basically no progress in martial arts. Later, he even took his friends to skip class.
In fact, his skipping class seems to be tacitly approved, because he is always surrounded by the figure of the four family members. followed by four friends, and then four bodyguards, how powerful this is, since then Hengyu has understood what vanity is.
