Beside the clear stream at the west end of the town, some children were having a lot of fun.
There is rubber band jumping. Lu Ming has only seen it in old TV series. It is two children stretching the rubber bands on one side and several children in the middle dancing.
The height of the rubber band began to hang on the knees, and then gradually increased, and the children who could not jump were gradually eliminated.
Now, the rubber bands have been held above the heads of the children on both sides, and with their arms straightened, even the children who were originally playing could not jump so high.
Of the two little figures who were still dancing with their rubber bands, only the big and small fruits were left.
The children nearby watched in admiration and applauded.
It looked like a martial arts movie. Every time I jumped with my back on my back, I hooked the rubber band with my toes. I quickly crossed my feet a few times and the rubber band bounced up quickly. Then, it was another round of repeated actions.
It looks like the two little guys can keep dancing like this.
Although the two of them were clothed in cloth and trousers, their originally pretty little faces had transformed into the appearance of common delicate girls, but their graceful little figures could not be concealed. At this time, they were dancing with rubber bands very neatly, as if they were dancing some kind of graceful dance.
, the posture is extremely pleasing to the eye.
The children were all stunned and cheered loudly from time to time.
Lu Ming sat by the creek, and Erika Ashikaga sat beside him. Looking at the children jumping with rubber bands, Lu Ming noticed that for the first time, Erika had a trace of yearning between her eyebrows.
Professor Song was accompanied by a team leader to handle matters in the town. Of course, he was only there to make suggestions for reference only.
Lu Ming wandered around and arrived at the west end of the town where children gathered to play.
Perhaps because of Erika, the children did not run away. Some of them stayed. They were very curious about this beautiful colorful girl from another world who had never seen her before. They all looked at it from a distance. The children's eyes were the purest.
, usually like and yearn for beautiful things.
If they had lived in a black and white world before, this was the first time they saw a picture of the color world.
And as Daguo played with them, there were gradually more children.
Lu Ming felt very comfortable stepping in the clear stream at this time. Perhaps because of the environment, his childlike innocence was heightened. He glanced at Erika and said, "Shall we go down to catch fish?" Then he shook his head, "Little fish."
How innocent? Don't disturb them. If you want to eat fish and meat, I must give them a good time."
"Yes." Erica turned around, her eyes turned from the children skipping rope, and when facing Lu Ming, her expression became dull again.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I have been walking for a day, my feet must be tired. You see, like me, it is very refreshing. This water is cool and flows over my feet. It is very comfortable!"
Erika didn't seem to want to do this very much, but after hearing what Lu Ming said, she went to untie her clogs and snow-white footbags, and said softly: "Yes, Master."
In Yingzhou, the word "master" is included in the honorific title given to the husband by the head wife, let alone concubine.
Although Lu Ming had long been numb to the title Master, he didn't know why he was called "Master" by this beautiful girl in kimono who looked like she had stepped out of a comic book. Even though her voice was soft and gentle, there was no trace of emotion in it.
, but my heart still trembled slightly, and I felt a strange feeling.
Then Erika saw Erika neatly folding the snow-white footbags and placing them next to her with her wooden clogs, revealing a pair of white, delicate and crystal-clear little snow feet. Those snow feet without a single flaw were like beautifully carved curves.
At this time, slowly exploring the clear stream water, it is a beautiful picture.
Lu Ming coughed and looked away.
Looking at the green fields in the distance, Lu Ming asked casually: "Ashikaga, this is a very noble surname in Yingzhou. Not long ago, General Yamamoto launched a coup to oust the ruling Guanbai. He was also Ashikaga. Well, his name is Ashikaga Yoshitaka, right?
?”
Unexpectedly, Erika Ashikaga trembled slightly, remained silent for a while, and whispered: "Yoshitaka Ashikaga is the slave girl's grandfather."
Huh? Lu Ming turned his head and looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect this. Even Qian Yuyangzi didn't say it.
But I didn't expect that she came from such a prominent family background.
Ashikaga Kanshiro is an out-and-out royalist, extremely loyal to the Queen, and dreams of restoring the Queen's power.
This angered the Japanese lords, big and small. The leader of the most powerful lord group, the Kansai Group, was Yamamoto Yu.
He launched a coup, imprisoned Ashikaga Yoshitaka, and arrested all important members of the Ashikaga family.
Yamamoto Yu took the post of Prime Minister on his own, and he also learned from the Greyfinni Kingdom and governed as Prime Minister.
Traditionally, the ruling minister of Japan was called Guan Bai.
Of course, the actual official position of Guan Bai has different meanings in this world. Lu Ming automatically converted everything into words he was more familiar with.
Lu Ming didn't know much about Japan, and he only had a superficial understanding. After all, he felt that he was still far away from his own circle.
He never expected that Guan Bai's granddaughter would suddenly become his concubine.
It's true that such a bloodline can produce such a beautiful woman.
Did Yoshiko Asaba do this on purpose? She never told him her true identity because she was afraid that she would get into trouble and stay away from her?
But having said that, how could Qian Guanbai's granddaughter, who was so beautiful, fall into the hands of Asaha Nagamasa and Asaha Yoshiko? And be used to win over the warlords of the Northern Territory?
Japanese people value blood very much, how could they accept this? They would rather execute Erika than do this, right?
There may be many twists and turns here.
After thinking about it, he said casually: "Well, in this case, I can't help much. I originally thought that after hearing Mrs. Qianyu say that your family is suffering, I would like to see if I can save them! I can only see it later!" What he said in his heart.
, I said it without realizing it.
After saying this, Lu Ming was startled and shook his head. The news was really weird and it surprised him, so he said this unknowingly.
In the past, I basically did more and talked less. Except in court, I rarely talked too much, let alone things I couldn't do, but I said it to make people appreciate me.
Ashikaga Erika was stunned and looked at Lu Ming. For the first time, there were some subtle changes in her starry eyes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "During the Luodu Incident, the slave girl was playing in the East China Sea... My grandfather and father were very good to me, and I, I am very free..." Ashikaga Erika is a little bit
He lowered his head sadly.
After a while, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes, "I heard the news about the Luodu Incident, Jingzi..., Jingzi is like my biological sister, she has been with me since I was a child."
Lu Ming nodded lightly, just like the personal maid of the people of Central China.
"Jingzi took me to change my clothes and seek refuge in the north. She said she had relatives she could trust in the Northern Territory to whom she could seek refuge."
"But, when we arrived in Xin'an, we were caught..."
"We were under house arrest together, and no one questioned me. But Jingzi was taken away many times. Later, she said that the people who arrested us were not of the same mind. She had a way to prevent me from being sent back to Luodu.
, Later, I never saw her again... The one who took me away became Sister Yoshiko."
"Sister Yoshiko brought a letter from Kyoko, just to persuade me... Sister Yoshiko also said that if I can marry a powerful Zhongzhou man and please him, maybe I can help my grandfather, father and the others...
…”
At this point, Erika Ashikaga's delicate voice stopped abruptly, and a look of panic appeared on her delicate little face.
It's probably been a long, long time since I talked to anyone. I was so excited that I started to say all these things that I shouldn't have said.
Lu Ming was heartbroken, but there was helplessness on his face: "It's terrible now. I have no power. I'm just the spy chief of a small place. I'm afraid I won't be able to help at all. Are you very disappointed?"
"No, no..." Ashikaga Erika was so anxious that she almost shed tears, and she didn't know how to explain it. She suddenly stood up from the water and knelt in front of Lu Ming. In desperation, she started chattering.
In Japanese, it should be a confession. The intonation in Japanese is very beautiful, and the soft voice when spoken has an indescribable sweetness, even if it may be saying that the guilty woman should be cut into pieces.
Looking at her appearance, and then thinking about her experience and current mood, Lu Ming sighed inwardly and said, "It's okay, I was joking with you."
After thinking for a while, he said: "I can't help you with anything else for the time being, but if your maid Jingzi is still in Xin'an, I may be able to help you find it. However, you must be mentally prepared, she may betray you..." No
Going on, I can't bear to reveal some cruel truths. After all, Erika's life is miserable enough.
"No, no..." Erika shook her little head, "I asked sister Yoshiko that I wanted to see Jingzi, and sister Yoshiko said, Jingzi, Jingzi is serving a very disgusting man for me..." Erika felt sad.
He lowered his head and said, "That's why that person reported to Luodu that I had been abused by many people and that I had contracted some disease... and the people in Luodu stopped paying attention to me..."
"Because of me, Xin'an also executed many people... who were wrongly accused and ruined..."
Erika wiped her tears, "I, I really deserve to die..."
Lu Ming is helpless, what is this little head thinking? Because you were wronged, come to think of it, it is just dog-eat-dog action by the Japanese intelligence elements, taking the opportunity to eradicate dissidents. Anyone who can take such a blame must know what kind of virtue he usually has.
Most of them have criminal records.
Because of you, many scumbags probably deserved their punishment.
But he couldn't say that. Lu Ming coughed and said, "So, you have to work harder and stay alive, so that their lives will not be in vain."
Erika lowered her head, "Yes, sister Yoshiko said that too! So, I will try my best!"
Lu Ming smiled: "Then I will work hard and work hard to climb up. I hope that one day I can rescue your family!"
Erika was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Ming with her bright starry eyes, her beautiful face was slightly touched.
Lu Ming looked at the path over there and smiled, "Okay, put on your shoes and socks, someone is coming!"
…
Several people came in a hurry, headed by Squire Ma.
Squire Ma is in his forties, gentle and calm. He went to college in the provincial capital. After returning to his hometown, he changed the tradition of his father's generation. Instead, he set up a school and did good deeds. He set up a factory in Maming Town and also opened a business in the county town.
A department store.
Ten years ago, I even donated money to buy the title of "Rural Gentleman".
At that time, the governor of the province, Ren Zhonglin, was keen on selling these names. However, except in the provincial capital, these names had no protective effect and no privileges in other places, and gradually no one cared about them.
Although Squire Ma's department store, factories and fields were all robbed, he still had a certain reputation, and the soldiers did not make it too difficult for him. The family's life was relatively worry-free. In addition to their savings, they were also given the name of the town's education committee member.
head.
He also tried his best to maintain the small school he ran in the town, and it has not been closed to this day.
Speaking of which, this can really be called a village sage who benefits his neighbors.
Initially, the new mayor of this town agreed to return part of his land to him, which was also the reason for his admiration for him.
"Commissioner Zhang, I heard you are here!" When he came closer, Squire Ma took off his hat and bowed slightly. Then he saw Ashikaga Erika, who was sitting behind Lu Ming. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly turned around.
Open your eyes.
Lu Ming smiled: "I should go visit, but the scenery here is so beautiful that I got carried away and the time passed."
Seeing that the commissioner was so polite, Squire Ma relaxed a little, but the real spy chiefs were mostly smiling tigers, and those with vicious looks were usually just minions at the executive level.
"The food at my home is ready. I wonder if I would be honored to ask the Commissioner to deign to condescend his humble abode and prepare a guest room for you in a small courtyard in the countryside. If there is anything I don't like, Commissioner Zhang must tell me." Mr. Ma Squire
He was very humble and made a gesture of invitation.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, excuse me, let's go take a look now?"
Some of the people behind Ma Xiangshen showed joy. If the biggest spy leader in Nanping came to the master's residence to have dinner and stay overnight, what would be scary? Those mobsters were all former ruffians and idle men who had nothing to do. They dared to take the opportunity to come.
Are you bullying the master?
Only Ma Squire, whose eyes were filled with worry, had seen a lot of great things in the world. How could things in this world be so simple?
