I am a pirate in Ming Dynasty

Han Zhaoxi didn't know exactly what he had experienced. He only vaguely remembered that a group of strongmen rushed into his home, brandished their knives and started killing people.

The guards at home who had been practicing martial arts for many years were unable to block their attacks, and the weapons they usually used to show off their power suddenly became fire sticks.

The ground was dyed red with blood. Her mother was her father's concubine. When the chaos started in the house, she was stuffed into the underground passage. She was so frightened that after she left the secret passage, she had no idea what had become of her family and did not dare to go back.

During the day, she secretly went home and took a look at the door, only to see that the place that originally belonged to her home had been taken over by thieves, and some rituals of the Lotus Mother were being performed. She did not dare to go there for fear of being recognized.

At night, when I couldn't stand the hunger any more, I left the small house where I was hiding. Unexpectedly, I heard some movement in the distance just after taking a few steps.

In order to protect herself, she lay on the ground, hoping to hide her figure in the dark night, but what she didn't expect was that the other party tripped and turned around and pinched herself.

As soon as the other person spoke, she realized it was a child, and she felt relieved immediately.

Qin Shang was held in the arms of the girl and felt a little confused. At this moment, there was a small sound in the distance, and Qin Shang quickly covered his and the little sister's mouths with his hands.

The two people hid their bodies in half of the broken wall in the dark night, and could only be faintly discovered by people in the distance when they came closer.

But the vague shadow couldn't tell the specific appearance. When the group of people passed by the wall, Qin Shang smelled the strong smell of blood, and he also guessed something in his heart.

Those who took the steamed buns and dry food and left during the day were probably in danger.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps could no longer be heard that Qin Shang let go of his hand and relaxed his breathing. Perhaps because he was frightened, he could clearly feel the trembling feeling on the girl leaning against him.

Han Zhaoxi hugged Qin Shang tightly, with a look of fear on her face. Everything that happened today had almost caused her nerves to collapse.

After waiting for a long time, the sound of rustling footsteps slowly came over, and the relaxing nerves gradually became tense again.

"Qin Shang, Qin Shang! Are you there?" A deliberately lowered voice gradually came over.

It's Liu Tiezhu! Qin Shang reacted immediately and said to the girl next to him: "Let's go, my friend is here to pick me up. Let's escape first!"

Han Zhaoxi was confused and confused, and could only listen to Qin Shang's words and follow him.

The small group was still very sensitive to the addition of a girl, but Wang Laoer immediately restrained the small group and slowly escaped from the place.

Except for the old man coughing a few times, there was no unnecessary sound during the whole process.

The night is sinking, and the occasional chirping of crickets is now gone. Even the usual frog croaking has disappeared in the middle of the night.

Walking out of the village, out of the fields, and continuing to walk forward, the depressing feeling of the silence of the space is finally gone.

It wasn't until everyone was tired from walking that they found a place with many trees to rest.

The sky gradually became brighter, and Qin Shang could finally see clearly the girl who had been holding him. Unlike children from rural areas such as Liu Qiushui, this young lady still has a little baby fat on her face, and her body is as graceful as that of a girl from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Although she looks about ten years old, her temperament is not comparable to that of ordinary girls. The feeling of others.

Good-looking people are naturally attractive. Boys like Liu Tiezhu have been surrounding her for a long time, asking questions as if they want to find out their household registration.

In the end, it was Tiezhu's mother who carried Liu Tiezhu away by his ears. Without the child king, the other children naturally dispersed.

After a hard night's work, everyone who was already hungry couldn't help it, and a "gurgling" sound came from their stomachs. The food had been eaten long ago, and everyone could only wait hungry for Boss Liu and Boss Xu to come back.

Qin Shang secretly took out a hidden corner of the steamed bun from his arms and handed it to Han Zhaoxi. The latter took it carefully, hid it in his sleeve, opened it bit by bit and chewed it in his mouth.

"No, how long has it been? I'll go back and take a look." Ma Laosan waited for a long time, feeling really worried.

"Wait a moment," Wang Laoer glanced at the old, weak, women and children around him.

Ma Laosan pointed to the sky and said: "Wait a minute, look at the sky. It's going to be bright soon. It's already passed the best time to escape. I'm good at qinggong and can run fast. Let's go see if Big Brother and the others are in trouble. If you encounter something unexpected, you can still respond."

"You are good at Qinggong, can you cross a bow and arrow quickly?" Wang Laoer sneered, "The reason why brother let us go first is because he is afraid of unexpected situations. If you go to deal with it, what if you fall into it too?" What should we do with our elderly, women, and children?"

"Second brother, just stay here. I'll go take a look. Take a look from a distance and then come back!" Ma Laosan begged.

"No, absolutely not. With your impulsive personality, you will never stand idly by." Wang Laoer knew the character of his third brother clearly, how could he still be allowed to act alone?

Ma Laosan was so angry that he shook his sleeves and found a small corner to lie down and sulk.

Qin Shang really couldn't hold it in. He wanted to go to the toilet at night, but he didn't have time on the way. At this time, he couldn't hold it in at all, so he just solved it on the spot.

Han Zhaoxi blushed with embarrassment and her eyelids twitched slightly, because she happened to be facing Qin Shang's side at this time and could see everything clearly, but she did not dare to make a sound.

But watching the other person peeing, she also felt like she wanted to go to the toilet, and this feeling was getting stronger and stronger.

"Brother Shang," Han Zhaoxi called him.

Qin Shang looked confused. After Han Zhaoxi finished speaking in his ear, he suddenly felt a little hot in his heart.

Well, what bad thoughts can a child have?

The two people left alone. They were far away at this time. Almost everyone was sleeping, and even those who were not sleeping would not pay attention to them all the time.

Under the slope of the small river ditch, there are some reed poles growing, which can just cover a few people. Qin Shang looked at the wind for Han Zhaoxi, and occasionally looked around.

After everything was over, Han Zhaoxi took Qin Shang back. On the way, he carefully warned: "Don't tell others what you just saw."

Qin Shangze was slightly contemptuous. You are only a few years older than Qiu Shui and the others. What's so good about you?

But I don't know if it's because of better family conditions. Han Zhaoxi is only eleven years old this year and grows up much faster than ordinary girls. After all, Qin Shang has touched her.

Just when the two were about to come back, two fast horses flew from a distance.

These days, Marco is a precious commodity and would not normally appear in such a remote countryside.

Wang Lao Er and Ma Lao San reacted immediately and ordered everyone to hide. Only when they got closer could they see the people on the horses clearly.

"It's the eldest brother. The eldest brother and the fourth brother are back!" Ma Laosan shouted happily.

Everyone in the small group became excited. They got up from the ground one by one and watched the two horses galloping over.

When he got close, he reined in the horse and forced the horse to stop.

"Haha, I wanted to leave directly at night, but I saw two good horses, so I got them out and spent some time!" Boss Liu laughed happily.

Turning over and dismounting, both men were extremely skillful.

"Big brother is big brother. He is a dragon at sea. When he reaches the shore, he is also a dragon!" Wang Laoer touched the horse and praised happily.

"Second brother, you are wrong. These two horses were the fourth brother's idea." Mr. Liu smiled and pointed at Mr. Xu next to him.

Xu Laosi waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother is too humble. Without his bravery, I still wouldn't be able to get this horse."

"Okay, okay, let's not brag here. Everyone is probably hungry, so let's get some food first!" Mr. Liu took off a big suitcase from his body. After opening it, it was full of things. It's white flour steamed buns.

Seeing these steamed buns, the women and children were even happier than seeing the big horses. They immediately started to boil water in a pot. The water was drawn from the stream nearby.

After boiling, pour out the clean layer on top, pour out all the bottom of the pot, then pour the water back to boil, tear a few steamed buns into pieces, soak them in water, sprinkle with a small amount of salt, and the aroma will be immediate Just came out.

After everyone has had something to eat, it’s time to calm down.

"This girl is quite pretty, where did she come from?" Boss Liu had already noticed Han Zhaoxi and asked his wife.

"The one who escaped with Brother Shang seems to be a young lady from a wealthy family named Han, but her house was taken over by thieves!" Ms. Liu Zhang didn't actually know, so she could only give a rough idea.

Boss Liu understood immediately. Although he had only stayed for a day, he had a clear idea of ​​the general situation.

Boss Liu thought for a while, walked to Han Zhaoxi's side, and said, "The Han family is gone. If you go back, you will be a sheep in a tiger's mouth. What are your plans?"

Sure enough, Qin Shang understood what Mr. Liu meant and looked up at the young lady.

Han Zhaoxi put down the bowl in his hand, lowered his head and said, "I want to go see my parents!"

"Your parents are gone. There is no living person in the Han family. They have no humanity. If you go back now, it will only add some fun to them." Boss Liu spoke without reservation and went straight to the point.

After hearing this, Han Zhaoxi felt sad in her heart, and her tears fell down and fell into the bowl.

Boss Liu knew that it would take some time for the other party to accept the information. He also hesitated whether to tell such a young child the news now, but if he didn't explain it clearly for a day, the other party would want to go back.

Those people are inhumane. Those who came back last night were carrying bags of steamed buns stained with blood.

From the overheard conversations, he knew that all those who took dry food during the day were dead. The so-called benevolent appearance of the Lotus Mother is just a pretense, and what they did was still banditry.

As for killing officials and rebelling, haha, are they worthy of it?
