Chapter 1272

After another two days, they arrived at a small county under the jurisdiction of mianzhou.

Seeing smoke rising in the distance, Kai Hao said to Yu Zhi, "let's go and have a look." Where there is cooking smoke, there should be people.

After a while, people saw a village. When they arrived at the village, they were speechless, and most of the houses in the village collapsed.

Lu Bai looked at the place not far away and said, "my son, wait here. I'll go and have a look." It's not too late to make sure it's safe.

Kai Hao shook his head and said, "let's go and have a look together." The assassin doesn't know how to figure it out until he stays here. And it's impossible to choose such a place to assassinate.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Kai Hao was shocked. I saw a child with dark complexion and ragged clothes squatting in front of a simple stove made of two stones to make a fire. There was an iron can on the stove.

The little boy was very nervous when he saw such a large group of people. He picked up a kitchen knife and said, "what are you going to do?" If not reluctant to give up the things in the tin, he ran away when he saw the group.

"Don't be afraid. We're just passing by." Looking at the bony child, Lubai couldn't help thinking of the days when he was cold and hungry. Thinking of this, he took out a piece of dried meat from his sleeve and said, "this is dried beef. Here you are."

The little boy didn't take it. Instead, he clenched the kitchen knife in his hand and said fiercely: "don't come here. If you want to come here, I'll chop you to death."

Lu Bai saw that the child didn't answer, pointed to Kai Hao and said, "don't be afraid. This is shiziye. He's here to help you." Making his identity public can not only reassure the people, but also help him accumulate fame.

Yi Kun is helpless to hear this. People in the countryside know what shiziye is, let alone a child.

Yu Zhi takes a serious look at the little boy, but he doesn't speak.

"Don't be afraid. We are just passing by. We want to know something about the situation here. We won't rob you of your food, and we won't do anything against you." With that, Yi Kun took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and said, "as long as you answer my question, the silver will belong to you."

Instead of reaching for the silver, the little boy looked at Qihao and asked, "are you what they call shiziye?" Although Qihao didn't wear royal clothes, he was wearing fine cloth clothes, but his spirit was different from others.

How clever Kai Hao is. After hearing this, he said, "my father is Wang Yunqing of Ming Dynasty, and I am his son."

"Are you the son of the Ming king and the Ming princess?" Many people may not have heard of Yunqing, but they must know about the Ming king. It's just like the common people know that there is an emperor, but they don't know the emperor's name.

Kai Hao nodded.

The little boy's eyes were a little loose, but he still didn't let go of his kitchen knife: "how can you prove that you are the son of the Ming king and the Ming princess?"

Kai Hao chuckled and said, "if I want your life, it's just a matter of one word. There's no need to tell you so much."

The little boy looks at Yi Kun, Lu Bai and others. He also knows that Kai Hao is telling the truth. It's easy for these people to kill him.

Putting down the kitchen knife, the little boy asked, "what do you want to ask? As long as I know, I'll let you know. "

Looking at the ruins of the village, Kai Hao asked, "are there any other survivors in this village?" Just looking at more than 30 collapsed houses, we can see that the village is not big. But even so, it is impossible for a village to have only one child alive.

"Yes." Without waiting for Kai Hao to ask again, the little boy said, "all the people who survived went to the county." On the third day of the earthquake, there was a rain, which made the disaster worse.

Qihao asked strangely, "why don't you go to the county?" The county should be able to open warehouses to release grain. It's much better to go to the county than to a village in ruins.

The little boy gritted his teeth and said, "they are bad people. They sell flowers and want to sell me and my sister." If not, he would not take his sister back to the village. At least he's familiar with it and can find something to eat.

Kai Hao's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he soon recovered as before: "who wants to sell you and your sister?"

No matter how big the matter is, the princess is like a light cloud. Yi Kun sighed that shiziye was more and more like a princess.

The little boy said in a hateful voice, "Er Gouzi. If I didn't run fast with my sister, he would sell me. " Even children who don't know the truth know that being sold won't come to a good end.

You don't have to ask. These two dogs are not good people.

Kai Hao sweeps around and doesn't see anyone. He wants to know that his sister must be hiding: "Why are you alone? Where's your sister? "

When the little boy heard this, his eyes showed vigilance.

Qi Hao looked at the child's eyes and knew what he was thinking. He didn't say he was a good man. He just raised his sleeve, pointed to the exposed red sandalwood bracelet and said, "my red sandalwood bracelet is worth 100 gold. Selling you and your sister is not enough for me to buy a bead." The reason is very simple, he will not do such thankless things.

Red sandalwood has the ability to ward off evil spirits and promote good fortune. In terms of health preservation, wearing red sandalwood can stabilize emotions and regulate qi and blood. Because of the magical effect of red sandalwood, Qihao also wears this bracelet.

"Are you really the son of King Ming?"

Lubai couldn't help laughing. The little boy didn't believe them.

Qi Hao nodded his head and said, "I've been ordered by my father and mother to come to the disaster relief. If you don't believe or force you, we'll leave later. "

Little boy almost did not consider, immediately knelt on the ground and said: "prince, please take me and my sister." It's not easy for a child to survive until now.

"Why do these people go to the county?" It's just the beginning. After that, there must be a lot of similar things. He can't take in all of them.

The little boy said: "nineteen people have survived in the village, including our brothers and sisters. When they heard that the magistrate had opened a warehouse to release grain for the victims, they all went to the county

Yi Kun browed and asked, "how many people are there in your village?"

"Fifty eight," said the little boy A village of 58 people is a tiny one.

Yi Kun asked suspiciously: "how do you know so clearly?" A child of six or seven years old, under normal circumstances, where will pay attention to these things. Moreover, although the child was a little flustered, he spoke clearly and thought clearly, which was very rare.

The little boy lowered his head and said, "my father is Li Zheng here." If you hear more, you will know.

Kai Hao nodded his head and said, "if you want to, follow us to the county." It's impossible to take him in, but if you follow him to the county, he will arrange the child properly.

Where is the boy reluctant: "you wait for me." With that, he walked quickly behind the broken wall. I almost fell down because I walked too fast.

Qihao followed him and went around the two broken walls. He saw two moso bamboos, one on the broken wall and the other on the brick. The moso bamboos were covered with a tarpaulin and some withered grass. Under the bamboo, a two or three-year-old girl curled up in a ball.

The little girl looked at such a group of people and was very afraid. She buried her head in the little boy's arms and said stealthily, "brother..."

This words fall, don't say Lu Bai, is Yi Kun all can't help but see little girl two eyes more, this voice can really listen to. Only Kai Hao, look unchanged.

The little boy said softly, "sister, don't be afraid. This is the son of King Ming. He is here to save us."

It didn't help the little girl because she didn't know who the king of Ming was.

"Did you build this?" There's not enough shelter in this place. But it is not easy for a child of six or seven years old to do so in such a difficult environment.

The little boy nodded and said, "yes, I turned out the oilcloth from the ground." It took him nine oxen and two tigers to find out the oilcloth.

Kai Hao nodded his head and said, "let's go!" Since there are only two children left in this place, there is nothing to stay.

Lu Bai looked at the little boy holding his sister walking hard, came forward and said: "give her to me, I'll help you hold it!"

The little boy hasn't said it yet, but the little girl is clinging to her brother like an octopus.

"What's your name?" he asked? How far is the county from here? "

The little boy said, "my name is Yin and my name is Kangle." He pointed to the little girl in his arms and said, "my sister's name is Tiantian." It can be seen from the name that the adults of this family want their children to live a healthy and happy life.

Noticing the thin cocoon on the child's hand, Qihao asked, "have you ever studied?" This kind of cocoon is usually left by writing.

The little boy nodded and said, "I started my education when I was three years old, and I started going to school in the county when I was five." He has been studying in the county for three years. It is also because he often goes to the county and is familiar with the road conditions that he can successfully escape with his sister. If not, he and his sister still don't know what's going on.

Go to the tin place, Kai Hao looked inside: "what is this thing?" Black for the time being not to say, only that taste, so bad smell how to eat.

"Wild vegetables," said the little boy Fortunately, the earthquake happened after the beginning of spring. If it is in winter, even if we are lucky enough to survive, we will have to freeze to death many people.

Kai Hao asked, "do you two eat this every day?" No wonder he's yellow and skinny.

The little boy said, "if you're lucky, you can still catch pheasants and rabbits!" The Communist Party of China only once, and they ate for three days.

Kai Hao nodded his head and didn't speak any more.

When we set out, we met a problem again. The little girl was unwilling to leave her brother. No matter how the little boy coaxed her, she would not let go. I was afraid that she would never see her brother again. But it's impossible to take two children on horseback.

Hearing that it was more than 40 miles away from the county seat, Lu Bai said to Yi Kun, "Shizi, you go first, and I'll take them with me Let the two children ride, and he leads the horse. More than 40 miles is nothing to him.

Kai Hao nodded. It's been a long time here and he doesn't want to waste any more time.

An hour later, Kai Hao and Yi Kun went to the outside of Jiang County, where there were rows of cottages.

The roofs of these cottages are made of dried straw, inlaid like fish scales; The crossbeam is big wood, and the column supporting the roof is thick wood. The four walls of the house were plastered with adobe.

Although the grass shed is simple, it can keep out the wind and rain. With so many grass sheds built in such a short time, it can be seen that the local officials have done their best.

When they got to the gate, the guard looked at a group of people and said, "token." Ordinary people only need a guide to pass by, but people in the army need a token to pass.

The soldier took Yi Kun's waist tag and handed it to him in black. Looking at the four big characters on it, he shook his hands and gave it back to Yi Kun. He turned to ask the other soldiers to let go, and then said respectfully, "your honor, please."

After a group of people left, another thin soldier asked, "old black, who are these people?" Looking at Lao Hei's attitude, I'm afraid these people are of high status.

Old man: "people from the palace of the Ming Dynasty."

"Isn't that young man the princess?" There is no way, Kai Hao's reputation is very loud among the generals, and there is no popularity among the ordinary soldiers. On the contrary, it's jujube. Because it's so rare, many people have heard of her.

Old black said with a smile, "are you lame? Can't you see that it was a young man just now? "

Thin a don't want to also say: "you also know, the big Princess often wear men's clothes, with the kid no difference." Men sometimes gossip more than women. These people can recite all the rumors about jujube.

"Then you should know that the princess is seventeen this year. Do you think there are seventeen of the young man who was just now Laohei said jokingly, "besides, the princess and the prince look just like the same pattern. Do you think the prince looks just like the boy?" Kai Hao skin white, as the saying goes, a white cover 100 ugly, not to mention Kai Hao facial features also long very good.

"I don't think so." In the eyes of a soldier, Yunqing should be a nine foot bear, strong as an ox, not a small white face.

The thin one recalled, shook his head and said, "look at only fourteen or five. So it's not the princess? " After a pause, the thin one asked: "it's not a big princess. How can it be such a big show?" There are more than 50 bodyguards. There are only so many people who want to travel to the Lord.

"Say you're stupid, don't you admit it?" Under the gaze of a group of soldiers guarding the gate, Lao Hei said in a low voice: "this young man is our son in all probability."

Thin a very convinced this call old black person, immediately regret not: "I just didn't look carefully, early know should see more two eyes." In this way, we have the capital to boast.

Laohei patted him on the shoulder and said, "shiziye must have come out for the earthquake this time. When he's finished, he must go back from here."

Thin a bitter face way: "who knows the son of a Lord which day return?" The job of guarding the city gate comes in turn. Who knows if shiziye was on duty that day.

Lao Hei said with a smile, "if you don't want to take a chance, you can stay here."

"I'd like to, but I'm afraid they won't want to." Who doesn't want to pay a visit to shiziye. Knowing this, no one is willing to change shifts.

Old black laughed.

Thin suddenly nervous said: "old black this matter we can't go out to publicize, want to let that person know, will certainly do harm to the son of God."

Finish saying, sweep other people a few people.

The others immediately said that they would not talk to the outside world, but only they knew whether they could do it.

Lao Hei didn't respond. Looking at shiziye's extravagance, needless to say, they all know it.
