They were all young men who could eat me to death, and some young men who could eat two of them to death. The workload was still so heavy, so they lived on this meal every day. As a result, they only drank a bowl of porridge at night, and their stomachs kept rumbling.
It screamed like a frog.
The second is that he is so angry. He is the real Tianhuang nobleman... Okay, although he is a little miserable now, but he is also the Tianhuang nobleman who just memorized words for a while. How have you ever been so angry in your life?
The third is that the house leaked and suffered from continuous cloudy weather, literally. Although the house they lived in seemed to be relatively complete at the time, it eventually fell into disrepair and showed its original shape when it rained. It rained heavily outside but was small inside.
There was still dripping on the top of the kang, so the brothers could only hug the quilt and huddle up to avoid it.
How miserable it is.
Zhu Zhen had never suffered such a crime in his previous life. In fact, not only tonight, he had suffered more hardships this time than he had ever suffered in his previous life combined.
When he first came here, he was very proud of his status as a prince, but now he just wants to cry.
The reason why I didn’t cry was because I didn’t want my brothers to worry.
The elder brothers all showed strong ability to withstand pressure. The second elder brother felt that he was the biggest and had to set an example for his younger brothers.
The third and fourth brothers regarded this experience of being hungry and cold as a kind of tempering for themselves. Moreover, the brothers took care of him and left the driest place on the kang for him. The fifth brother also used a dustpan to dry medicinal herbs.
Cover his head with a basket.
In the middle of the night, the fourth brother suddenly thought of something, jumped up from the kang, and climbed up to the beam with his hands and feet.
"What are you doing, pretending to be a corpse!" Although the third brother was not asleep, he was still startled.
"Don't eat it until later." Zhu Di snorted, and when he came down, he had a small oil paper bag in his hand.
I opened the wax paper in the dark and couldn't see clearly what was inside. It looked like a stone the size of an egg.
Lao Wu picked it up and squeezed it, and said in surprise: "Baitang!"
"Where did it come from?" The brothers said in surprise, and the third child must have made a scene.
"I went down to the river to catch some shrimps a while ago and went to the market to trade them," Zhu Di said without changing his expression.
Zhu looked at him suspiciously, knowing that most of this was obtained by the fourth child at the market.
But morality pales in comparison to hunger, so he decides not to ask any more questions. If the fourth child admits that he stole it, will he eat it or not?
So the third brother decided not to ask. Not asking means not knowing, and those who don’t know are not guilty.
Zhu Di carefully smashed the hard piece of candy into pieces with a hatchet, picked out the largest piece and stuffed it into Zhu Zhen's mouth.
"Don't chew, just hold it in your mouth."
"Yeah." Zhu Zhen responded vaguely, with tears in his eyes, but he kept staring. He saw that his piece was half the size of the whole.
Then Zhu Di gave a quarter-sized piece to Lao Wu, and the rest was divided between Lao Wu and Lao San.
The third child didn’t say that he was short of money, so he just kept his mouth shut and enjoyed it.
After how long, I finally have sweetness in my mouth again.
"Well... it's so, so delicious." The second brother was also happy from ear to ear.
"We, we used to hate eating sweets the most, but I didn't expect that eating sweets would be a beautiful thing."
"My saliva is so sweet." Lao Wu's mood finally improved.
"Don't talk, you're wasting your breath." Fourth brother reminded.
Lao Liu nodded vigorously, that's right. He kept his mouth tightly shut, just to avoid the sweet saliva flowing out.
~~
Relying on this sweetness, the brothers managed to stay up until dawn.
After another delicious meal of wild vegetable porridge, Chief Tang Jia came to call and report to the official.
The brothers have already agreed to go together today and try not to be alone in the future.
Then he hitched the cart to the Great Sage Pingtian and loaded the cart with the remaining half bag of grain, farm tools, bedding rolls and other valuables.
In fact, there is nothing valuable, and half of the car can’t fit it.
On the way to the county seat, Chang Jia wanted to speak but stopped talking.
Seeing that Chief Tang Jia obviously had something to say, Lao San followed him and deliberately lagged behind.
"My father-in-law, what are your orders?" Zhu asked in a low voice.
Tang Jiazhang also knew that this was the most reliable person in the Hong family. He nodded and lowered his voice:
"We would like to ask, what is your relationship with the county magistrate?"
"It's okay."
"Really?" Tang Jiazhang looked at him suspiciously. "My dear, it's already this time. You just need to explain yourself, so that we can help you."
"If I have to say it, he is my father's minister...er, subordinate." Zhu lowered his head and looked at his cotton shoes with exposed toes and said: "Of course no one would believe me even if I said this."
"That's right, I believe it!" Tang Jia Chang said with a smile: "We have long seen that the county magistrate treats you differently. So the old man asked you to report to the official, but he didn't expect the government to get those gangsters." "Yes." Zhu nodded understandingly.
The thieves come and go without a trace, which is not something the county police can deal with. Besides, it is impossible for the government to go to war just to snatch back a few bags of grain.
"Actually, we want you to suffer miserably. To be honest, when we first came here, you handed out more things than others. We have never seen such a big cow in the past few years." Tang Jia pointed a long finger.
The Great Sage of Pingtian:
"There is also salt, which no one else distributes. Only you have it. Especially food, you have a lot more than others... So, the county magistrate takes care of you."
"That's it." Zhu Huanran, he had felt something was wrong before. He also said that if the government was so generous, it would probably go bankrupt long ago.
Now listening to what Old Tang said, he completely understood.
Most likely, my father had a decree for the magistrate of Linhuai County.
Think about it, after all, he is a biological son, and he is also a biological son, and there are five biological sons. It is impossible for the father to completely let him go.
Unless the father really thinks that his son has given birth to too many children and wants to humanely destroy a lot of them...
On second thought, the special care from Linhuai County Magistrate was probably not his father's will, but his own goodwill.
Because with his father’s temper, he must be absolutely required to keep secrets, not to cheat, and to make them suffer enough. How could he be allowed to let go?
But since Magistrate Han released his goodwill once, it is very likely that he will release it again!
‘I don’t want him to give more, just give me another ration. Doesn’t it count as cheating on his part?’ The third child made a wishful thinking.
Thinking about it this way, he felt much more relaxed and had a smile on his face.
As soon as the two separated, the fourth child immediately came over and said, "What are you happy about? Say it and we will be happy together?"
"Hey, daddy is going to marry you." How could Zhu tell him the truth?
"Get the hell out of here!" Zhu Di complained and turned away to ignore him.
However, Zhu Zhen clearly heard the conversation between the two of them just now. Because he was young, Chief Tang did not avoid him deliberately.
But he is not as optimistic as his third brother.
Because based on his many years of experience watching reality shows and variety shows, if the plot develops like this, the dramatic effect will not be produced, and then the audience will still be disappointed?
Right, Father.
