Chapter 1269

Two days later, they arrived at a small county under the jurisdiction of mianzhou.

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

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

Lu Bai looked at the place not far away and said: "shiziye, wait here, I'll go and have a look." Go to investigate the situation first, and make sure it's safe before it's too late.

Qihao shook his head and said, "let's go and have a look!" The assassin will not be able to calculate and know that he is staying here. And to assassinate, it's impossible to choose such a place.

Looking at the scene, Qihao was shocked. I saw a child in tattered black, squatting in front of a simple stove made of two stones, on which was an iron can.

The little boy was very nervous to see such a large group of people. He picked up a kitchen knife and pointed it at them: "what are you going to do?" If he didn't give up the things in the tin, he would run away when he saw a group of people.

"You don't have to be afraid. We're just passing by." Looking at the skinny child, Lu Bai couldn't help but think of the day when he was cold and hungry. Thinking of this, he took a piece of dried meat out of his sleeve and said, "this is dried beef. Here you are."

The little boy didn't pick it up. Instead, he clenched the kitchen knife in his hand and said fiercely, "don't come here, I will cut you to death."

Lu Bai sees that the child doesn't answer, points to Qi Hao and says, "don't be afraid. This is shiziye. He is here to help you." Open Qihao's identity can not only reassure the people, but also help him accumulate fame.

Hearing this, Yi Kun was helpless. The people in the countryside knew what the prince was, let alone a child.

Yu Zhi looked at the little boy carefully, but didn't speak.

"Don't be afraid. We are just passing by. We want to know about the situation here. We won't rob your food or do anything harmful to you." After that, Yi Kun took out some silver coins from his arms and said, "as long as you answer my questions, these silver will be yours."

The little boy didn't reach for the silver, but looked at Qihao and asked, "what kind of son do you mean?" Although Qihao didn't wear a royal suit, he was wearing a fine cloth dress, but his spirit was different from others.

Qi Hao was so clever that he said, "my father is king Yunqing of Ming Dynasty, and I am his son."

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

Qihao nods.

The little boy's eyes are a little loose, but he still hasn't let go of the kitchen knife in his hand: "how can you prove that you are the son of Ming Wang and Princess Ming?"

Qi Hao chuckled and said, "if I want your life, I don't need to tell you so much in one sentence."

The little boy looked at Yi Kun, Lu Bai and others, and knew that Qi Hao was telling the truth. It was 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. "

Qihao looked at the ruined village and asked, "are there any other survivors in this village?" It is known that the village is not big only by looking at the collapse of more than 30 houses. But even so, it is impossible for a person in a village to live with only one child.

"Yes." Before Qihao could ask again, the little boy said, "all the people who survived have gone to the county." On the third day of the earth movement, there was a rain, which made the disaster even worse.

Qi Hao asked strangely, "why don't you go to the county seat?" The county town should be able to open warehouses for grain. It's much better to go to the county town than to the village which has become a ruin here.

"They are bad guys. They sell flowers and want to sell me and my sister," said the little boy, gnashing his teeth 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.

Qi 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 what happened in heaven, the princess was a light and light one. Yi Kun sighs that the prince is more and more like a princess.

The little boy said angrily, "Er Gouzi. If I didn't run fast with my sister, he would have sold me. " Even the children who don't know know know that it's not good to be sold.

I don't need to ask. These two dogs are not good people.

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

When the little boy heard this, his eyes were alert.

Qi Hao knew what he was thinking when he looked at the child. He didn't say he was a good man, but he raised his sleeve and pointed to the little leaf red sandalwood bracelet. "My red sandalwood bracelet is worth hundreds of gold. It's not enough to sell you and your sister to buy a bead." It's very simple. He won't do such a thankless thing.

Red sandalwood has a theory of exorcism and opening up, while 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 wore this bracelet.

"Are you really the son of Ming Wang?"

Lu Bai couldn't help laughing. Feeling the little boy didn't believe them.

Qi Hao nodded his head and said, "I came to the disaster relief on the order of my father and his wife. If you don't believe it or force you, we'll go later. "

The little boy almost didn't think about it. He knelt down on the ground and said, "shiziye, 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 town?" It's just the beginning. There must be a lot of similar things after that. He can't accept all of them.

The little boy said without saying: "including our brothers and sisters, there are 19 people living in the village. It's said that the county magistrate opened a warehouse to relieve the victims, so everyone went to the county. "

Yi Kun raised his eyebrows and asked, "how many people are there in your village?"

"Fifty-eight in all," said the little boy A village of fifty-eight people is a tiny village.

Yi Kun asked suspiciously, "how do you know so well?" A six or seven year old child, under normal circumstances, where will pay attention to these things. Moreover, although the child is a little flustered, he has a clear voice and clear thinking, which is very rare.

The little boy lowered his head and said, "my father is Li Zheng here." I'll know if I hear more.

Qihao 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 does little boy want: "you wait for me." With that, he walked towards the back of the broken wall. I almost fell down because I walked so fast.

Qi Hao followed him, bypassing the two broken walls, and saw two moso bamboos lying on one end of the broken wall and the other on the bricks. The moso bamboos were covered with an oilcloth and some dead grass. Under the bamboo, there was a two or three-year-old girl huddled together.

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

As soon as this word fell, even Yi Kun could not help but look at the little girl more than Lu Bai. The voice was really pleasant. Only Qihao has the same look.

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

It's no use to the little girl because she doesn't know who Ming Wang is.

"Did you build it?" This place is not enough to keep out wind and rain. But it's not easy for a six or seven year old to do this in such a difficult environment.

The little boy nodded, "yes, I turned the oilcloth out of the ground." It took him nine cows and two tigers to turn over the oilcloth.

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

Lu Bai watched the little boy walk hard with his sister in his arms and said, "give her to me and I'll help you hold her!"

The little boy hasn't said yet, but the little girl is like a octopus, picking on her brother.

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

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

Noticing the thin cocoon on the child's hand, Qi Hao asked, "have you read a book?" This kind of cocoon is usually written down.

The little boy nodded: "I started at the age of three, and began to go to the school in the county at the age of five." He has studied in the county for three years. Just because he often went to the county and was familiar with the road conditions, he was able to escape with his sister. If not, he and his sister don't know what's going on.

When he reached the iron pot, Qi Hao looked inside and said, "what is this?" Black do not say for the time being, just say that smell, how can I eat it.

"Wild vegetables," said the little boy It's also lucky to say that the earthquake happened after spring. If it's winter, many people will have to freeze to death even if they are lucky enough to survive.

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

The little boy said, "if you are lucky, you can catch the pheasant and rabbit!" The two ate for three days.

Qihao nodded his head and didn't speak any more.

At the time of departure, she encountered another problem. The little girl was unwilling to leave her brother. No matter how the little boy coaxed her, she would not let go, for fear that she would not see her brother again. But it's impossible to ride a horse with two children.

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

Qihao nods. There has been a long delay here, and he doesn't want to waste any more time.

One hour later, Qi Hao and Yi Kun arrived outside Jiangxian, where there were rows of cottages.

The roofs of these huts are made of dried straw, which is inlaid like fish scales; the beams are made of wood with big fists, and the columns supporting the roofs are made of thick wood. The walls of the house were plastered with adobe.

Although the grass shed is simple, it can keep out the wind and rain. So many greenhouses have been built in such a short time, so local officials have done their best.

When they got to the city
