Quyang County is close to Jinling, and the master of Mazhai sent someone back to Jinling to report the matter that day.

By the morning of the next morning, before everyone was about to leave, the old monk took a few supervisors and had already arrived in Quyang County.

The old monk loved the people as much as his son, and he hated corruption the most, and was full of anger. It was obviously necessary to investigate it strictly.

If you have specialized in your skills and investigate illegal officials in Quyang County, it is the business of the old monk.

Huo Bao and his party left Quyang County and headed towards Lingshui.

Before noon, I met a scout who came back from Lingshui.

Yesterday at noon, the disciples brought 8,000 people and rushed back to Lingshui County to attend the funeral.

However, Lingshui County has a city gate closed, and the internal and external martial law is strictly prohibited, so people are not allowed to enter the city.

It was still Liu who received the news and moved out, Mrs. Han came out in person, and then opened the city gate and welcomed Tu San into the city.

Huo Bao and Shui Jin have met Mrs. Han.

"After all there is a sensible person!"

The master of the village.

Shui Jin disagreed: "What have you done long ago? If you really understand, you can raise three bastard sons? You are so sweet and bitter, and pretend to be a virtuous!"

Huo Bao nodded and agreed.

Marshal Liu's three sons died without seeing each other. The remaining two were indeed unable to stand up, so that Tu San could stand out.

The head of the village said, "No matter whether she really understands it or is fake, even if she pretends to understand, having such a widow as a buffer is better than being a good person! Since the third master of the Pu has arrived, we should send someone to inform him first to save misunderstandings!"

Huo Bao, Shui Jin has no objection.

The leader of the Ma village sent someone to take the lead and went to Lingshui County to find a disciple and attend the funeral.

The Chuzhou army continued to rush forward, and at dusk, they arrived outside Nanshan Village.

This is also the route that was set before, and it is also convenient for Huo Bao to worship his deceased mother.

...

Looking at the smoke from afar, Huo Bao couldn't help but be stunned.

Last time I came to the lifeless small village and became angry.

I don’t know if it was the villagers who fled to famine before or if they were occupied by new refugees.

In the second half of this year, as the Chuzhou Army expanded its territory, Quyang County became more and more stable.

In July, Deng Jian, Ma Juzi and others swept the local area and cleared the bandits. The county government also rebuilt the local area after the disaster and restored production and life, with seeds, livestock, and various benefits.

Speaking of which, after being ruined, Quyang County was able to recover so quickly, it was all the political achievements of the previous Quyang Wang Qianhu.

This Wang Qianhu is the future father-in-law of Wang Wu and Deng Jian.

Because of his omnipotent behavior, he was previously ordered by Huo Wu to stay in Hezhou. A few days ago, he was transferred back to Chuzhou and served as the chief town of Chuzhou.

According to the rules of the Chuzhou Army, the recommendation responsibility system is recommended.

Mr. Wang’s previous contributions were almost the same this time, his brother-in-law.

I just don’t know if he is involved in Quyang’s affairs. If he is involved in it, the location of the town will be unstable.

Thousands of people came outside the village, and such a big noise had already alarmed the village.

A moment later, a man in his forties with a little lively face and eyes surrounded by several villagers.

Seeing Huo Bao, the man was puzzled and dared not admit it.

Huo Bao recognized that this man was a villager before Nanshan Village and a member of the Niu family. In terms of generations, he was the clan uncle of Niu Dalang and others.

He is a peddler in Nanshan Village and has more knowledge of traveling around the world. Last year, when the epidemic began, he took his family out.

"Uncle Abacus..."

Huo Bao mentioned the former title.

The man dared to recognize someone after hearing the local accent: "Oh, what a little treasure!"

Huo Bao nodded and said, "When did Uncle Ababan return to his hometown? Isn't there no one in the first place in this village?"

The man sighed and said, "I came back at the end of June. Things are precious when I leave my hometown, but people are cheap. It's hard to wait outside... There is no one in the village, and I was shocked when I came back..."

Speaking of this, he looked behind Huo Bao curiously: "Is Xiaobao joining the army?... When did your parents leave..."

Huo Bao was wearing plain clothes and his boots were plain, and he was dressed as a filial piety.

It was because the epidemic came in a raging way last year and too many people died, so this man misunderstood.

"My mother left in October last year. My father is fine. Now he is in Jinling..."

The man nodded and said, "Good Jinling, Jinling, Brother Huo Wu is an ingenious person. Even if he is outside, he will definitely not be wrong!"

Hearing his tone, he didn't know that the marshal of Chuzhou Army was Huo Wu.

Thinking about it, when talking about Huo Wu outside, it is either Marshal Huo or Master Huo Wu.

Their hometowns mentioned are from Quyang or Binjiang Huo. Where can I mention a small mountain village?

Huo Bao looked towards the village, and the smoke from cooking was not dense, but it was not too small.

The man looked in the direction of Huo Bao and said, "The families who fled the famine in our village, except for my family, have returned. The remaining dozen families are refugees. The county government arranged it in July... took over the empty houses in the village... But Xiaobao don't worry, your yard is still empty... But your uncle's yard was occupied by a family with many brothers..."

The Huo Wu family lived in the village quite well, and the yard was newly built before Huo Wu got married. Although it had been more than ten years, it was much easier than other families who had lived in for decades.

Why no one has the idea of ​​this yard?

Just got scared to pee.

The yard is full of graves.

Needless to say, some of these tombs were made by Huo Wu and Huo Bao and his son when they returned from Jinling at the end of March and passed by Nanshan Village. They were simply repaired. One of the small ones was Niuniu's parents, and the other ones were the dead of other Nanshan Villages.

As for the burned corpses of bandits, they naturally ignored them.

But when Huo Shun returned, he didn't know the details and thought that the bones were all relatives, so he buried them.

Therefore, the Huo Wu family's originally spacious yard was full of graves.

The refugees were sent by the yamen. Relying on the large number of people and power, there were few local households. They dared to occupy empty houses, but they did not dare to dig graves.

According to the law, digging graves lightly flows, and heavy graves are twisted.

When Huo Bao thinks of the past, he also feels like he is a different life.

At that time, he had no memories of his previous life. He was just a brain-loving child who liked to pretend to be an adult when encountering problems. He was not as lively and noisy as ordinary children.

In the eyes of parents, this is the son who is extremely well-behaved.

Huo got married after five years. He got this unique seedling with his wife for more than ten years, but he really took it as a big treasure.

Others’ families are “strict fathers and kind mothers”, while Huo Bao’s family is “kind fathers and kind mothers.”

Other people's parents chased the child with feather dusters, wanting naughty children to be honest.

The Huo Wu family is a couple, but they coaxed their son out to play, for fear that he would be bored at home.

However, the couple, one is generous and generous, and the other is virtuous and gentle, and has no flaws. Otherwise, if they would spoil their children like this, they would have raised a little bully early.

Thinking of Tu's kindness, Huo Bao's eyes were full of tide.

The happiest days in two lives were those years.

The beginning of life's troubles and literacy is not the limit for Huo Bao, but it is almost the same.

If he had a choice, he would rather not restore his memory in his previous life than experience the epidemic last year, and his family would live a happy life together.

The man looked carefully at the master of the village and Shui Jin.

Huo Bao came out of his memory and saw this and said to the leader of the Ma village. Shui Jin said, "Uncle Six, Brother Shui, this is my uncle Aba Pan, the uncle of the Qing Dynasty..." After that, he said to the man again: "Uncle Aba Pan, this is the army of Chuzhou... General Ma, General Shui!"

The man hurriedly bowed to the salute.

The leader of the village, he said qin: "You're welcome!"

Shui Jin also said: "It's not outsiders, we are familiar with Niu Qing."

The man said excitedly: "Xiaobao, what this general said is true? The Qing boy is still alive?"

Huo Bao saw that he looked familiar with his reaction, and the same was true when Huo Shungang knew that everyone was safe.

"I'm alive and always with us. Not only Brother Qing is there, but also Brother Dalang, Brother Erlang, and a few small stools in the Niu family, they are all fine, and they are all in Jinling now..."

The man in his forties suddenly turned red and he choked and said, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive! Our Huo and Niu families were originally a big family in Nanshan Village, but the only one left was our family. This thought made people feel distressed and they couldn't fall into their hearts..."

Huo Bao did not rush to go into the village to see the house, but instead greeted the leader of the Mazhai Village and wanted to go to the back mountain.

The Huo Family Land is right there.

The master of the village said, "Go together, I should go to worship!"

When the water enters here, we have to go together.

The leader of the Ma village passed the order and set up a camp at the entrance of the village.
To be continued...
