Chapter 249 People who are vying to join Dazhou
Chen Ming and other workers returned to the village, but he was too scrupulous and had a huge sum of money on him, so he couldn't walk with those people. If he was robbed, it wouldn't be fun.
He found a group of caravans from the Great Zhou Dynasty and a group of Zhou soldiers wearing armor to protect him.
His days in Cangzhou made him have an extraordinary favorable impression of the Zhou people. As for those soldiers, they were even more like gods. Chen Ming's master was a very good craftsman. His greatest wish was to send his son to the Cavalry Guard, and he said that there was no regret in his life. The Cavalry Guard was a group of good soldiers!
Chen Ming was very sure that he decided to follow the caravans of the Great Zhou Dynasty and use the protection of the cavalry guards.
Since you want to get along with me, you have to pay some price, and Chen Ming still understands the rules.
They passed by a snack stall and Chen Ming decided to invite everyone to eat noodles. Although it cost 100 yuan a sky-high price, it was still worth it.
The cavalry guards and the merchants, each holding a bowl of noodles with only a little minced meat, couldn't help but shake their hair and laugh, but they still ate all the noodles and accepted Chen Ming's kindness.
Continue to move forward, pass the Yongji Canal, and almost arrive at the Yingzhou territory, the head of the Cavalry Guard threw a large bag of beef jerky to Chen Ming.
"Thank you!"
After saying that, they left.
Chen Ming was a little stupid when he held the heavy jerky.
He ate it once at his master, and the master only gave him two pieces, and the rest was treated as a dish. Chen Ming swears that the strong fragrance and softness of beef jerky with a slightly sweet taste is the best thing he has ever eaten in his life!
There is a big bag in front of you!
Carefully grab the piece, put it in your mouth, chew it slowly, wait until the saliva soaks the dried meat, the taste buds are completely opened, and then swallow it slowly. The aftertaste is long, which is definitely an unparalleled enjoyment. Chen Ming subconsciously grabs another piece, hoping to continue his happiness.
But he held back and carefully stuffed the oil paper into his clothes.
I took it home and gave it to my younger brother and sister, but they hadn't eaten it yet!
Chen Ming stepped on his legs and ran wildly.
His memory is really good, and he didn't get lost. In the middle of the night, he ran back home. His appearance made the dogs in the village barking, and Chen Ming didn't care about anything and came to the broken shed where their family lived.
My mother is still there, my younger brother is also there, and my younger sister is sitting on the kang.
When the three of them saw him back, they seemed to see a ghost!
"You, you are still alive!"
Chen Ming knelt in front of me and hugged his mother's thighs.
"Living, the child lives... Not only does the child live, but also makes money!"
He took out the three-calorie money and put it in front of me. He also took out a pack of jerky and stuffed it to his younger brother and sister, "Eat it quickly, it's so delicious!"
My younger brother reached out to grab it, but I was slapped back by my mother!
The old lady stared at Chen Ming, "You, to be honest, have you become a bandit? You are unfilial son, you want to anger your mother to death!"
The old lady grabbed the feather duster and wanted to beat it. Chen Ming subconsciously raised his arms to protect his face. With the light, the old lady saw her son's hand.
They were all called out, thick layers after layer... Look at my son's neck and face, dark. The old lady felt distressed. She threw away the feather duster and held her son in her arms, feeling distressed and crying.
"My miserable son, tell me, what's going on!"
Chen Ming proudly told my mother about the passage that he went to Cangzhou to repair the city, worshipped the master, and earned money, which was not a small amount, 3 kWh. Although he spent 100 yuan, the rest was enough to build a new house, so they no longer had to rely on others to lay a house.
"Mom, you said where we build a house, children will listen to you!"
The old lady looked at the three heavy strings of copper coins and suddenly burst into tears. Her sister couldn't help but feel sad and started crying.
"San'er, it would be great if you come back three days earlier!"
Chen Ming was really confused. The old lady told him intermittently that the family thought he had lost and could not come back. There was no way, so she agreed to a marriage, his sister wanted to marry the landlord's stupid nephew, and Chongxi!
"What?"
Chen Ming's head buzzed and he sat on the ground.
Sister, a beautiful sister!
Are you going to marry a fool?
This life is about to end before it begins!
God, why is your heart so cruel!
When do you want to torture our family?
Chen Ming shouted madly: "If you don't marry, you won't marry. Our family has money, so don't marry!"
The old lady smiled bitterly and shook her head. It was a lot of money, but she couldn't save her daughter. This was her life! A life that she couldn't escape!
The whole family was crying in tears, and they burst into tears. After a while, the sister forced herself to look happy. She carefully grabbed a piece of jerky and put it in her mouth.
Swallowed with tears, my sister smiled.
"Brother, I have figured it out. It's good to marry a fool. He is stupid and can't bully me. The family is rich, so I'll marry you and you won't have to worry about food and drink. You can't be hungry or frozen. If you have money, take good care of your mother and brother. When you get married and start a business in the future, your sister and sister will be content!"
After saying that, she lowered her head again, tears couldn't help but shed. She was easy to say, but she really married a fool. Who knows what the outcome would be? What if she couldn't make it?
I’m afraid that even an ordinary maid can’t catch up, and this life will be over!
Chen Ming just felt that he was about to explode. He couldn't help his family in the past. After going to Cangzhou once, he still had no choice. What kind of evil did they do?
The family sat until dawn, and suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from outside. Chen Ming hurriedly climbed up the window to watch. He saw a group of Khitan soldiers and rushed directly into the landlord's house.
Not long after, adults cried and children made a fuss.
The Khitan soldiers captured the landlord's family and tied it up with ropes. Then someone rushed in and opened the granary. All the food inside was loaded into a carriage and transported away.
The landlord is very rich, but it is the most cost-effective. He can eat a salted duck egg for 5 days and never spend a penny indiscriminately.
The warehouse is full of grain, and there are all ten years ago!
This time there was nothing left, and the Khitans were all copied.
The landlord was really crazy. He tried his best to protect the food, but was stabbed in the chest by a Khitan soldier and killed by blood. The landlord's wife was a fat woman. When she saw her husband die, she fainted from fear.
The rest of the family was in chaos.
Chen Ming had been working outside for several months and had heard of some things. He quietly called his mother and younger brothers and sisters, came out of the broken shed, quickly pressed against the back wall, came out of the dog hole, and then ran out of the village without any life.
When they ran into a wood, they looked back and saw that the landlord's house was already flying, and the Khitans set fire to the fire and burned the yard.
The landlord's family, including the stupid nephew, all died in the fire.
My mother was stunned, "What kind of retribution has this been suffered! Such a group of killers came! They robbed food and set fire to kill people. Is there any king's law?"
Chen Ming suddenly smiled bitterly, "Wangfa, they are the kingfa! We are all slaves of the country, and this is the end!"
Chen Ming was determined and the old lady was shocked. It was the first time I found that her son had such a tough side!
"San'er, tell me, what should I do?"
Chen Ming thought for a while, "Mom, it's good if a person dies, so that his sister can't get married and stay a widow. We can't run away now!"
"Run? Where to go?"
"Go to Cangzhou!"
Chen Ming said seriously: "Mom, my child has the skills. I, I can support you and let my younger brothers and sisters eat beef soup every time!"
The old lady couldn't help but smile when she looked at her son's appearance.
I also eat beef soup!
The landlord didn't even eat it!
It's our turn!
It would be nice not to eat Guanyin soil!
Chen Ming doesn’t want to argue with me, you will know when the time comes.
When the fire was extinguished, the Khitans left.
They just came out.
The survivors in the village ran to the landlord's house, dug out hot stone bricks from the ashes, and went to repair their house... They had no sympathy for the landlord, so they died! Your family still has so much land, and this time it's all ours!
Chen Ming just sneered that their orphans and widows could not grab anything. What's more, the Khitans could come once, and they would come a second time. When did they see a date falling from the monkey? Look, the landlord's property will definitely be collected, and whoever robs it will be unlucky!
"Let's go quickly!"
The family of four came out of the village, followed the main road, and headed eastward quickly.
Chen Ming carried my mother on her back and ran in the front. Her younger brother and sister followed closely. When they were tired of walking, they ate a piece of beef jerky, and when they were thirsty, they drank the spring water from the stream. Finally, they got closer and closer to Cangzhou.
And along the way, they met the Khitans three times, all of whom came to snatch food.
What a shameless robber!
Chen Ming gritted his teeth viciously, and spat hard in the direction of the Khitans.
"Mom, we live a bad life, it's all because of these heartless Khitan dogs. We will definitely drive them away and take our family back in the future!"
The old lady really wanted to teach her son a lesson. They are honest people and cannot think about using swords and guns. The Khitans are committing evil, and God is watching!
But the old lady didn't say it after all, just sighed.
The family was easy to run out. Chen Ming spent 40 copper coins to cross the Yongji Canal by boat. Only then did he remember that it was impossible to spend money on a boat to cross the river. He followed him to get a bargain!
The master is right, being a soldier is like being a decent person to a craftsman.
Chen Ming told his younger brother very seriously that he would join the army in the future and enter the cavalry guard!
The family came outside Cangzhou City and traveled a long distance. Everyone was exhausted and their stomachs were croaking. Although they were saved, the beef jerky was not enough for four people to eat, so they had long disappeared.
Chen Ming smiled happily, "Mom, don't worry, this place is different from other places. You can have food if you have the ability!"
After saying that, Chen Ming was full of confidence and ran towards the recruitment office... Ye Hua was in the recruitment office. Wherever he saw, there was a large area of darkness. Someone had already come to seek a job.
