Zhu Yiyuan tried his best to open his eyes. As far as he could see, he saw earthen houses with earthen walls, willow trees and flowing water. There were no concrete roads, no telephone poles, and no passing vehicles. And he was on the back of a man with a bun, falling step by step, and it was difficult.
Forward.
How is this going?
Zhu Yiyuan was confused. Could it be that... the memory gate opened, and Zhu Yiyuan felt as if a hundred movies were playing in his head at the same time. Various fragments were forced in, and soon his head felt like it was being stuffed.
I really traveled through time!
Zhu Yiyuan, seventeen years old, was from Qingshiji, Zichuan County, Shandong Province, and a clan member of the Lu family of the Ming Dynasty.
Still a royal family?
But after thinking about it again, there is nothing to be happy about. It is just a distant branch of the clan, and his father Zhu Guanyu only holds the title of lieutenant of the auxiliary country, and his salary has been stopped for a long time.
No matter what, look at the time again.
It was the second year of Shunzhi, and last year was the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.
In other words, the Ming Dynasty has already passed its first anniversary, and even the small Hongguang court in Yingtian is gone... What kind of start is this?
Hell?
Maybe it's still the eighteenth floor.
What can a subjugated clan do? Can it still imitate Liu Xiu and achieve a Guangwu Zhongxing?
Then you must have the ability to summon meteorites.
Zhu Yiyuan's heart is very cold, and time travel also depends on luck. It is obvious that he has bad luck and is possessed by a degenerate spirit.
Not long ago, the Qing government implemented an order to shave hair, and the order reached Shandong. People from the Yamen, as well as the Zhang family in nearby Dazhuang Village, and hundreds of thugs were dispatched.
This Zhang family once produced a bachelor in the Ming Dynasty, and he was considered favored by the Ming Dynasty. However, when the dynasty changed, he actually took the lead in shaving his head and served as the minions of the Qing Dynasty. It is really disgusting.
As a member of the Ming Dynasty clan, Zhu Yiyuan was so sad and angry that he was reduced to a slave of the Qing court, so he had no choice but to throw himself into a well.
Although he was not able to accept suicide, at this moment Zhu Yiyuan could still feel the deep sadness of losing his country and his family, and being a human being. There were indeed some things that he would rather die than submit to.
But now that we have two lives, do we still want to commit suicide?
Zhu Yiyuan's heart was shaken, he wanted to live.
And he clearly jumped into the well, why was he fished out again?
The person carrying him forward must be his father Zhu Guanyu in this life. Was he the one who picked him up? It seems that Father Zhu didn’t shave his hair either.
Something must have happened during the time when I jumped into the well.
Just as he was doubting, suddenly a fire appeared not far away in front of him, and some villagers ran away in a hurry, shouting as they ran.
"Oh no, we were robbed!"
The so-called thieves these days are usually hundreds or thousands of robbers, the kind who kill without blinking an eye.
It was already very difficult for Father Zhu to carry him on his back, and he couldn't run away at all.
"I can leave, so let's hide first." Zhu Yiyuan said reluctantly. Although he was very weak, he was unwilling to continue to rely on others' backs.
When Father Zhu heard this, he was slightly startled, and finally put his son down, but still supported him and ran quickly into the willow forest next to him.
It is next to the river, with thick shade and reeds, so you can really hide.
There was thick smoke in the village, and the cries continued. Father Zhu became more and more uneasy, "It's over, it's over, your mother is still at home! What should I do?"
The figure of a middle-aged woman flashed before Zhu Yiyuan's eyes. That was his mother, Mrs. Ye. Speaking of which, it was considered a blessing for Mr. Zhu. He was a member of the clan who did not do anything, and his wife took care of everything inside and outside the house.
Not only did Ye keep her home in order, she also read and read. Zhu Yiyuan read a lot of books, and it was all his mother's credit.
The two men were arrested and had their heads shaved, and she was alone at home. At this time, another robber came, which was indeed very dangerous.
However, Zhu Yiyuan was already very weak and could not walk very fast, so he could only say: "I'll wait here, you go first."
Father Zhu nodded, but before taking two steps, Father Zhu turned around again, reached Zhu Yiyuan's side, and stretched out his hand to lift him up.
"Today our father and son both narrowly escaped death. No matter what, our father and son cannot be separated. If we really die, let's die together."
Zhu Yiyuan stared at this thin and frail middle-aged man, and his heart felt a little warm. They followed the intermittent willow bushes towards the east end of the village, in the direction of their home.
Father Zhu held his son with one hand and opened the way in front of him. Dead trees and broken branches cut his clothes and left wounds on his arms. He seemed unaware and just walked forward, whispering to Zhu Yiyuan from time to time: "
Be careful not to get scratched."
Take a look at yourself!
Zhu Yiyuan didn't say the words, but the warmth in his heart became even stronger. Although it was a hellish start, there were still people willing to overcome obstacles for you and protect you from the wind and rain. It wasn't too bad.
Living in troubled times, and being part of the Zhu Ming clan, what a sin!
The two men stumbled, their clothes were torn, and they were in a miserable state. Finally, they were not far from their home.
They hid behind the bushes and looked out. It seemed that someone was driving a carriage, and the carriages were filled with stolen goods. The people held swords in their hands, laughed loudly, and returned home with loads.
Faced with this situation, the Zhu family and his son did not dare to take a breath, so they could only wait cautiously.
Finally, everyone left, and after waiting for a while, they came out of the shade of the trees, walked quickly across the dirt road, and entered their house.
When they came in, both men were dumbfounded.
Looking over, I saw a mess. The grape trellis in the courtyard collapsed and the water tank was broken. As I walked into the house, furniture was strewn about and fell all over the floor.
All clothes and property, even cotton mattresses, were looted.
Going to the back, the door of their warehouse was suddenly opened, and not a single grain of grain was left inside.
Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he witnessed all this. He couldn't tell how angry he was, he just felt confused and absurd. His previous life was an era of strict order. Not to mention the rampant bandits, there were only a few thieves.
But what about now?
First, the Qing court forced them to shave their heads and become slaves. The gentry were arrogant and arrogant, and they acted as a slave to the tiger. There were also bandits and robbers, and the swords fell on their own people.
At this moment, Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help but hesitate, did he have the ability to survive?
Just when Zhu Yiyuan hesitated, Father Zhu's tears had already flowed out.
"Madam, madam! Where are you!"
"How will I live if you are gone?"
"Whoever dares to arrest you, I will risk my life with him!"
…
Dad Zhu was mumbling and bursting into tears. He happened to pass by a pile of wheat straw and suddenly heard a cough.
He turned around suddenly, only to find that he pushed aside the wheat straw and a woman emerged from it, it was his wife!
"You, you're okay!" Dad Zhu was overjoyed.
But my mother stared at them and asked at the same time: "How are you two?"
At least still alive.
Zhu Yiyuan couldn't open his mouth for a moment, so he could only try to force out a smile.
Father Zhu burst into tears of joy, and hurriedly grabbed his wife, and the family of three survived the disaster... Let me talk about my mother first, she did not have to go when the hair was shaved. No one can say what will happen outside, so the father warned
She must be waiting at home.
I can only obey and wait anxiously at home.
But after a while, suddenly there was chaos outside. Someone shouted that thieves were coming. They rushed into the houses and robbed everything they saw. Since the Zhu family had a well-established family background, they looked richer than ordinary families, so they quickly attacked
come over.
"Aren't the thieves officers and soldiers?" Dad asked in surprise.
The old woman shook her head, "This group of people don't have official clothes. I saw it from a distance. They were like a pack of wolves, breaking in through the door and not being reasonable at all. I didn't have time to take anything, so I just took the gold and silver jewelry with me."
.”
As she said that, I took out a purse from her arms. It was glittering with gold and contained many good things.
It has been turbulent for many years, and I have become a good doctor after a long illness, so I have made preparations in advance.
Zhu Yiyuan watched silently, almost crying without tears... In the front, there were officials arresting them to shave their heads, and in the back, there were thieves coming to rob them. It was really a tacit understanding and seamless connection.
Suddenly, Zhu Yiyuan realized something. No wonder they were able to escape death. Could it be that these thieves scared away the Yamen people?
If this is really the case, I really don't know what to say. Should I thank them for saving my life, or should I remember the hatred of ransacking and robbing them?
Only in this absurd and chaotic world can such absurd things happen.
When Zhu Yiyuan was thinking about it, his mother asked about them. My father couldn't bear it, so he could only pour the beans through a bamboo tube. He told them all, including that Zhu Yiyuan jumped into the well and luckily survived.
This moment made my mother feel very distressed, "My son, why can't you think about it? It's better to live than to die."
Zhu Yiyuan was speechless. He could understand the mood of a mother, but she just suffered the scolding silently.
But the father coughed and said: "The child still has some backbone. Now God protects us and we are all lucky enough to survive, so don't complain."
After crying for a long time, I put away my sadness and said, "I understand. You two are also hungry. I'll go get some food."
Father Zhu was stunned, "Food? Wherever there is food, isn't it all taken away?"
The old woman hummed proudly: "It was taken away, but if we don't even have some life-saving food, my family will be in vain. After so many years of chaos, I have been prepared. Don't worry, the food hidden is enough for a few months."
of."
Father Zhu was so impressed that he said, "Madam, you are truly the backbone and backbone of our family."
Zhu Yiyuan's stomach also cooperated and started to growl... But he knew that every household had been robbed just now. If he was cooking at this time and saw the smoke, other villagers might come over to beg for food. Who knows what would happen?
misfortune?
Although villagers need to take care of each other, they also need to divide their time.
What's more, those robbers will die if they leave and come back.
In short, it’s better to be careful.
Therefore, Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help but stretched out his finger and pointed at the sky.
"Wait until the sun goes down."
This reminded my mother, and she couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I'm smart. I'll soak the rice first, it will cook faster." This chapter has been completed!
