Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

After the woman finished speaking, she turned her head and glared at the soldiers, then accelerated towards the city wall.

"No, she's going to crash and die here, stop her!" The leading soldier understood immediately when he saw this, and rushed towards the woman in a hurry.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

At this moment, the woman erupted with great strength and slammed towards the city wall at an unimaginable speed.

"Oh!"

A muffled sound came from the city wall, and the woman's head collapsed instantly, blood splashing all over the ground.

The woman was lying on the ground, looking at the gray sky, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she murmured in a low voice: "Da Zhuang, Xiao Ni has a way out, I'm here to accompany you."

As soon as the words were finished, the woman closed her eyes.The remaining consciousness also disappeared between heaven and earth.

Zhao Wen stood on the ground and tiptoed to watch this scene.

"Oh, Xing, the people are suffering. Death, the people are suffering."

Zhao Wen sighed and looked at the city wall with complicated eyes.

What kind of power could make this woman do such a thing, Zhao Wen still couldn't figure it out.

Zhao Wen looked at the corpse on the edge of the city wall, and then at the girl sitting on the ground crying bitterly.

At this moment, the belief in reshaping the world deepened in Zhao Wen's heart.

"Mother, mother!!!" The little girl seemed to understand something, and kept crying towards the city wall.

The hissing and lung-piercing cry made countless passers-by weep.

Gradually, the girl's cry turned into a sob.She crouched on the ground, shrugging her shoulders.

Maybe it was because of crying for a long time, the girl seemed to lose her strength, fell to the ground, and fell into a coma.

There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she kept shouting: "Mother, don't sell Xiaoni, Xiaoni is very good, if Xiaoni doesn't eat, let mother eat, please don't sell Xiaoni."

After this scene, Zhao Wen's mind about eating was much less.

He took out a dozen or so copper coins from his pocket, and without counting them, he slapped them on the table, "Liu Wu, take this girl, let's go."

Liu Wu held the baby girl in his hand and was about to move forward.

But Zhao Wen kicked Liu Wu's ass and shouted, "This is a child. Have you never held a child before? Did you mention that?"

Liu Wu scratched his head, and said with embarrassment: "I don't even have a wife, where are the children?"

"Carry it on my back. I bought it. If something goes wrong, be careful." Zhao Wen shouted.

Liu Wu said with a sneer, "Yes, yes, I will obey your lord's order."

Liu Wu had no choice but to carry the girl on his shoulders.

Although the afternoon sun was not as good as at noon, the remaining sunset was still dazzling.

Zhao Wen also lost his mind about shopping, and returned to Yuan Fuxiang with Liu Wu and the baby girl on Liu Wu's back.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of Yuan Fuxiang, a servant ran over with a flattering face, "Master Zhao, my shopkeeper has gone out. Nitrogen has been prepared for you, a total of more than 500 catties, and it has been packed for you I got into the carriage, and now it's outside the door, you see."

"Find me a maid, and bring me some soft food, and some clothes for a seven or eight-year-old girl." Zhao Wen took out a silver ingot weighing about three liang, and put it on the table next to it. "The silver is for you."

"Uncle Zhao, is this?" The servant looked at Zhao Wen with a puzzled expression.

He really didn't know what this Uncle Zhao in front of him was going to do.

"If you are told to go, you can go, where is there so much nonsense?" Zhao Wen frowned and scolded.

The boy shrank his neck and didn't think about it, he hurriedly picked up the money on the table and ran towards the back hall.

Chapter 87 Follow me, there is a way out

Zhao Wen looked at the young man who ran in, and said to Liu Wu, "Put this girl on the table next to her first. This is 20 taels of silver. Go and see if the woman's body is still there. If so, take the woman's body outside the city and cremate it. Then buy an urn and put it in it.

If you are not there, just spend some money and inquire about it.After inquiring, just do what I just said. "

Zhao Wen took out a linen bag from his waist and handed it to Liu Wu.

Liu Wu took the silver bag, nodded heavily, and then ran out.

After a while, a servant girl who looked about 30 years old was brought out by the boy.

"Matchmaker, the Elder Master has something to do with you." The boy said to the matchmaker.

The matchmaker looked at Zhao Wen, bowed and said, "Is there something wrong, sir?"

Zhao Wen pointed to Zhao Xiaoni who was sleeping, and said, "Take her to take a bath, put on clean clothes, and give her some warm meals. I will pay for all the expenses."

The matchmaker looked at the girl. Although she was a little puzzled, she still followed Zhao Wen's instructions, picked up Zhao Xiaoni on the table, and walked towards the back hall.

An hour later, the matchmaker led Zhao Xiaoni out.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoni was wearing a gray dress. Although it was not good, it was much better than before.

The dirt on his face was also cleaned off. Although his complexion was sallow, he was not as depressed as before, and his face was full of vitality.

There were tears in the little girl's eyes, but when she saw Zhao Wen, she stopped abruptly.

Zhao Xiaoni looked at Zhao Wen and forced a smile. She knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed three times to Zhao Wen.

"Xiao Ni is very grateful to the Elder Master for taking her in. In the future, Xiao Ni will repay the Elder Master's kindness even if she is a cow or a horse."

Zhao Xiaoni said in a sensible way, but being sensible is a bit distressing.

"Okay, get up, and you will follow me from now on. If I have a meal, you will have something to eat." Zhao Wen helped Zhao Xiaoni up from the ground, squatted in front of Zhao Xiaoni, and wiped her face Tears on the bed, said softly.

"Xiao Ni, thank you Eldest Master!" Zhao Xiaoni squeezed out a smile and said crisply.

"Come with me!" Zhao Wen took Zhao Xiaoni's little hand and walked out.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Liu Wu ran over with an urn in his arms.

"My lord, it's done." Liu Wu handed the urn to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen took the urn, sighed, and then looked at Zhao Xiaoni, "This is your mother."

Zhao Wen said, and handed the urn to Zhao Xiaoni.

Zhao Xiaoni hugged the box, tears came down all at once.But she didn't dare to cry out loud, she was afraid that if she cried out, the old man in front of her would not want her anymore.

Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Xiaoni like this, heaved a long sigh, and then turned his head away.

"Okay, let's go too." Zhao Wen took Zhao Xiaoni's hand and walked towards the tethering post next to Yuan Fuxiang.

"Uncle Zhao, do you think we sent you these nitrates, or did you pull them back yourself?" A chubby boy pulled a cart full of nitrates to Zhao Wen. He bent over with a flattering expression on his face. road.

"You put it here, I will pull it back by myself." Zhao Wen said in a deep voice.

"Come on, Mr. Zhao, then I'll put it here for you." The young man tied the reins of the horse to the horse stake next to him, turned and left.

Zhao Wen picked up Zhao Xiaoni who was standing on the ground, put it on the cart, untied the horse's reins, and sat on the shaft by himself, holding the horse's reins tightly with his left hand, and flicking the whip in his right hand, driving the horse to move forward slowly. go.

Liu Wu untied the horse's reins on the horse post, rode on a war horse, dragged the reins of another war horse with his right hand, and followed behind Zhao Wen.

The carriage slowly headed out of the city, and after passing the city gate, the flow of people on both sides of the official road increased.

When Zhao Wen came, all his thoughts were on the glass mirror, and the horse was riding so fast that he didn't bother to look around.

Now, the carriage was slowly pressing down on the potholed road, and Zhao Wen sat on the shaft, so he had time to look around.

Both sides of the road are covered with shacks built with thatched grass. Countless people dressed in rags, with dark faces and skinny faces are standing, squatting, or lying on the road, with lifeless eyes staring at Zhao Wen's body carriage.

A stench permeated from both sides of the road. Under a big tree not far away, a blackened corpse was covered with flies. Several wild dogs stared at the corpse with green light in their eyes. corpse.Just wait for no one to pay attention, then go to tear the corpse.

The elm trees on both sides of the road have also been stripped of their leaves and stripped of their bark.Only the bare trunks are left, slowly dying on the ground.

Suddenly, a big man rushed out from the side of the road, and he directly stopped in front of the carriage.

"Applause!!!"

Zhao Wen hastily grabbed the horse's reins, for fear of knocking the man into the air.

Liu Wu hurriedly flicked the whip in his hand and ran to the front of the carriage.

Liu Wu waved the whip in his hand, making a crisp sound in the air.

He looked at the big man fiercely, and shouted angrily: "You fellow, do you want to find death? My lord is the garrison of Longmen Fort. He is a fifth-rank martial arts general. How dare you stop my lord's carriage?"

The big man didn't wait for Liu Wu to finish speaking, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing his head non-stop.

When the people next to him heard that Zhao Wen sitting in the carriage was an official, they hurriedly backed away as if they had met a tiger or wolf.

As if the man didn't hear what Liu Wu said, he kept kowtowing.

The dust on the yellow ground was splashed by him, and the front of the carriage was filled with dust.

"What's going on?" Zhao Wen jumped off the carriage, frowning.

The man raised his head and looked at Zhao Wen, weeping bitterly, "I beg the elder to save my mother, my mother is about to starve to death. If the elder can save my mother, I will sell my life to you. "

A man of eight feet was forced to such a fate.

Liu Wu also jumped off the horse. He waved the whip in his hand and was about to whip it at the man.

"Your mother is about to starve to death, what does it have to do with us? Get out of here quickly."

But the man didn't seem to care at all.

Zhao Wen hurriedly stopped Liu Wu, and at the same time gave Liu Wu a look.

Zhao Wen squinted his eyes and looked at this man. He was wearing a sackcloth and a short jacket full of big holes, and a pair of dark arms were exposed.

Although there is not much flesh in his arms, judging from his dark complexion, this person must have been a good fighter before.However, because of hunger, I lost a lot of weight.

"If I save your mother, you will sell your life to me?" Zhao Wen asked.

The man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "As long as the elder can save my mother, I will hand over my life to the elder. I will do whatever the elder asks me to do."

"Let you kill people, how dare you?" Zhao Wen looked at the man and said in a deep voice.

"Kill!" The man was stunned for a moment, with a little panic in his eyes, but the panic was fleeting. After a few breaths, the man's eyes gradually became firmer, and he said: "As long as the elder can save my mother, the elder will let me save my mother." I will kill whoever I kill, even if it is the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, I will go too."

Zhao Wen clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, you can follow me from now on. Here are some dry rations, you can take them."

Zhao Wen took down a sack from the carriage, which contained some white flour steamed buns and some fried noodles invented by Zhao Wen.

The man kowtowed heavily at Zhao Wen, then rolled up the sack on the ground and ran towards an extremely low shack.

Seeing this, the refugees on both sides of the road also slowly surrounded them.

"As long as the old man can give me a bite to eat, then I will sell my life to the old man." An extremely thin man shouted at Zhao Wen.

Around his neck was a dirty little girl who looked only five or six years old.The little girl looked at Zhao Xiaoni who was dressed cleanly in the carriage, her eyes were full of envy.

The refugees looked at Zhao Wen with longing in their eyes.

Standing on the shaft of the chariot, Zhao Wen looked at these refugees, cleared his throat, and shouted: "I am the garrison of Longmen Fort, and I am a fifth-rank military general appointed by the emperor. My current station is just a few meters away. Longmen Fort, which is more than a hundred miles away, as long as you want to survive, then follow me. I can't guarantee that you will have big fish and meat, but a full meal can still be provided."

As soon as Zhao Wen's words fell to the ground, the crowd fell into silence.Immediately afterwards, countless people hugged their heads and cried.

After such a long time, I finally met a great kind person.Finally, there is no need to wait to die. There are still good people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Live Bodhisattva, live Bodhisattva."

"Master Qingtian, this is Master Qingtian."

"There is a way to survive, there is a way to survive."

For a moment, countless refugees knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhao Wen with tears in their eyes.

Several people who were lying on both sides of the road waiting to die also struggled to get up from the ground, kowtowing to Zhao Wen non-stop.

Both sides of the entire official road were filled with excited shouts.

Looking at these excited refugees, Zhao Wen said in words that he could only hear: "From ancient times to the present, these people have not asked for much, just to have food to eat and clothes to wear. However, such a simple and unpretentious requirements cannot be met.

They do the heaviest work and pay the heaviest taxes.They dare not get sick, and when they get sick, they can only stand up.Even some inexpensive medicinal materials cannot be afforded.

Those in power took their hard-earned money and squandered it on the Qinhuai River, squandered it on luxury houses, and squandered it on one meaningless thing after another.

The powder floating on the Qinhuai River is all the blood and sweat of these people.But when did these people in power lower their heads and look at them? "

Zhao Wen finally understands why the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty was so large and prosperous.
