palm river mountain

Chapter 378
There is little rain in Kyoto, and it is getting hotter in summer, and the sky is getting brighter earlier.

Zhao Shi was carrying a shoulder pole, and walked quickly. The buckets on both sides were filled with water, and the floating ladle would sway a few times from time to time, hitting the wooden bucket, making a muffled sound.

When he passed a ridge in the field, he would look back again, "Yaoer, go faster, when the sun is big, it will be hot."

The boy called Yao'er was sleepy, "Father! Why don't we build canals and water trucks? I heard from my cousin that with that, we don't need to carry water."

Zhao Shi shook his head. He had a younger sister who married far away and went to Sichuan. Two years ago, when the road was easier to travel, she came back once, bringing her seven-year-old son Douer with her.That Douer is used to bragging, so that the ants in Sichuan are more obedient.

"It's not peaceful now, no one cares about this..."

Seeing that his son made many excuses, Zhao Shi was furious. A farmer's annual income was all in the fields. If he thought about being lazy when he was young, he would not even be able to marry a wife in the future.

He was about to urge, but he heard the sound of carriages and horses on the official road not far away.

Zhao Shi's face turned pale, he put the bucket on the ground, grabbed the pole, and rushed to the boy quickly, covered his mouth, and forced him to the ground, the two lay on the field, Not daring to move for half a minute.

Today's world is not good, and there are wars every three days.

When encountering those with strict military discipline, at most they come to the village to collect some grain. Now that the old grain is exhausted and the new grain has not yet come out, even if they scrape the bottom of the tank, they can't scrape a few grains of millet, and they must hear a few complaints;
It would be bad if he met that cruel military master.It's all for them to catch the small ones, the place where they cross the border is like locusts, and they can't wait to pull out a piece of skin.

The little river next door to him was stabbed to death by Shen Qing'an's army when they crossed the border.The child is about the same as his family's youngest son, but he is only about ten years old.

Zhao Shi secretly groaned in his heart, he only thought about the harvest in the field, but he didn't expect that there would be a large army crossing the border at this moment.

He pressed Yao'er's face on the mud, and quietly raised his head to look at it. Fortunately, the crops on both sides of the field have grown up, which can completely cover the father and son.

Through the emerald green, Zhao Shi saw a group of people walking slowly on the official road at a glance.

The one who walked in the front was a young lady about sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a spear in her hand, and she saw that fierce female Rakshasa. Zhao Shi didn't dare to look directly at her face, and hurriedly moved behind her. look.

The long convoy had no end in sight, and there were neatly placed black cages on top of each vehicle.The cage is quite heavy, and each cart is pulled by two strong horses.

Zhao Shi watched with envy in his heart.

The fields at home are near the official road, and he has seen princes from all over the country enter Beijing with chariots and horses on the birthday of the emperor.The gold and silver are too heavy, and the wheels of the cart are crushing the ground one by one.

The horse is working so hard, and it is unknown how many treasures are contained in the carriage and horse.

In this troubled world, there is a new group of people who are rich, and a group of people who are newly poor, but they, ordinary people, will always be poor, and they will worry about the next meal after one meal.

Zhao Shi was thinking, just as he was about to bury his head and wait for the convoy to cross the border, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

In the field, there was a flash of light, which happened to dazzle his eyes.

He knew that there were ambushes and thieves with knives hiding on both sides of the official road, maybe they were waiting to snatch the treasures in the convoy.

Zhao Shi was terrified, he hurriedly lowered his head, covered the boy's mouth, and couldn't help begging bitterly in his heart, only asking the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home not to be so diligent, to eat slowly at home, and to come back later. Come to this Huangquan Road.

Duan Yi was riding on the horse, and she took a bite of the white flour steamed bun in her hand, "This steamed bun is much more delicious than Xuan Yingjun's iron bun, and there is beef in it! Cui Zigeng's meat is well marinated, it's not bad. Lose the old cow!"

Su Yun over there took a bite viciously, and yelled in high spirits, "I used to scold Duan San for your dead mother, you are not a person. I didn't think about it, but before he died, he did it." Once a good man!"

As he said, he turned his head, looked at the convoy, and laughed silly, "Duan San Duan San, with this, we will be able to eat such delicious stewed beef in the future! See you next time, greedy Kill that Cui!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Yi hurriedly looked around, and made a booing gesture to Su Yun, "What are you talking about, it's just that General Zheng moved his family, and he went to Xiangyang with us."

Su Yun blushed, and complained to Zheng Duo, "My lord is just cautious, we can beat the whole world, and there is that short-sighted thief, dare to come?"

"We even got out of the capital smoothly. After passing the Lantian Pass, that is the boundary of our mountain south. We just walk sideways on this road, what are we afraid of? General Zheng, don't you think so?"

Zheng Duo panicked, no one told him that after joining the new lord, he still has to work part-time as an actor!
What if he can only write but not act?
Zheng Duo thought about it, and looked at Wei Meng who was on the side enviously, this guy still had the foresight, no matter what time he played, he always acted as a coffin board without lines!

Zheng Duo was in a panic, and cursed at the thief in his heart, what kind of shrinking turtles are you!Why don't you come out yet!If you don't come out, we're leaving!
He was stiff, when he heard the grass creaking on the side of the road, Zheng Duo shook his heart, and yelled towards the side of the road, "Who! Where is who!"

Zhao Shi, who was hiding on the ridge of the field, firmly held down his son, closed his eyes, and pricked up his ears.

Sure enough, as soon as Zheng Duo's words fell, the gangsters hiding on both sides of the official road suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the convoy.

Zheng Duo was shocked, and hurriedly yelled, "There are bandits! Protect the lord! Protect the things on the car, don't lose a single thing!"

Zheng Duo finished shouting excitedly, but he didn't hear the slightest nervous sound behind him. He turned his head to look, and immediately became embarrassing.

I saw Duan Yi, Su Yun, and the Duan family soldiers all showing their faces, like hunters who saw a rabbit hit a tree or a rooster jump into a river, and their mouths barely reached their ears.

On that side, Duan Yi clicked her tongue a few times, "Yo! Long time no see! Why don't you become a prince instead of being an earth dragon! Sigh, why don't you say that my father is unreliable? I'll teach you what's wrong. I'll teach you how to roll a donkey." Son!"

"Why, last time I couldn't lie to Heshan Yin, I felt guilty, now I want to perform a joke for my aunt and ask for forgiveness?"

As Duan Yi said, she waved her hand towards the leader of the group of men in black, "Grandma is very merciful and forgave you, and will leave you with a dead body!"

The leading man in black could see fire in his eyes, holding a long sword in his hand, he said angrily to Duan Yi, "Miss Duan San is too condescending, now you have few people and we have many, why bother to bluff? "

"The river mountain seal and these boxes and cages are all belongings of my Chen family. You have the face to say that you have seized other people's property!"
