Chapter 2
It was already dawn, Liu Hongjian shook his head with a wry smile, and stretched out his right hand to move his stiff body.

Unexpectedly, there was a woman prostrated beside the bed. The woman seemed to be asleep, and she was still holding Liu Hongjian's arm with both hands. Liu Hongjian's movement of stretching out her arm woke the woman up.

"Husband, you're awake!" The woman wanted to stand up with a face full of surprise, but because she sat on the bedside all night, her blood was not flowing smoothly, and she was a little dizzy when she got up suddenly, but she just raised her right hand and rubbed her temples, So he put his mind back on Liu Hongjian.

"Husband, how are you feeling? Are you hungry?" Sun Xiuxiu couldn't help feeling a little flustered seeing Liu Hongjian staring at her with dull eyes.

I saw that this woman was only ten years old, she was dressed in blue and plain clothes, and she had a pretty face. Although she was not magnificent, she was also delicate and refined, especially the blush that was pleasantly surprised, added to the simple beauty.

Liu Hongjian just stared at Sun Xiuxiu as if he had never heard of it, until Sun Xiuxiu became a little anxious, thinking that he was stunned by lightning, and then came back to his senses.

"You are... Xiuxiu?" Although Liu Hongjian inherited the previous memory of this body, his mind was still a little confused for a while.

"Yeah, doesn't your husband remember me?"

"I remember, it seemed that I was struck by lightning last night, and now my mind is a bit confused, and I can't remember many things from the past!" Liu Hongjian said while propping himself up, trying to sit up by the window, Sun Xiuxiu saw this Hastily supported Liu Hongjian's arm, and put a pillow on Liu Hongjian's back.

"Isn't it amnesia? What should I do? I'll go and call daddy!" Sun Xiuxiu trotted to the outside, shouting as she walked.

Liu Hongjian couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. If he lost his memory, how could he remember her name was Xiuxiu?

After a while, an old man trotted in anxiously. The old man was wearing a square scarf and a coarse cloth gown. He was thin, but he looked very tough when he walked. Wiping tears and crying.

"Son, do you remember dad? You can't forget dad. You are the only seedling in our old Liu family, and we are waiting for you to carry on the family!" The old man just finished speaking tremblingly, when Sun Xiuxiu next to him came face to face. Lu exited the room in shame.

The old man cried with snot and tears, no wonder, the old scholar Liu Delong had a son like Liu Hongjian when he was 40 years old, and he was very spoiled since he was a child.

Relying on his reputation as a scholar, he worked as a bookkeeper in a drugstore in the city to support his family. Although the family had little money, he did not make Liu Hongjian suffer. family ancestors.

But things turned out to be the opposite. Liu Hongjian was ignorant since he was a child, and he was not as good as his old man. Until he was 19 years old, he took the exam four times but he didn't even get a scholar. When offering sacrifices to the ancestors, he sighed:
'well!It seems that it is hopeless to expect this turtle son to shine on the lintel, and I am really ashamed of my ancestors...',
Later, he had to sell the ancestral house and asked Liu Hongjian to take a daughter-in-law. He thought that Liu Hongjian would give birth to a grandson for him, so that he could raise him while he still had some strength, so as to comfort his ancestors.

Unexpectedly, it has been a year since the daughter-in-law who sold the pot and sold the iron came home, and there was no movement in her daughter-in-law's stomach. Last night, Old Xiucai Liu couldn't hold back, so he asked his daughter-in-law with a cheeky face.

Sun Xiuxiu said to the old scholar with some guilt that Liu Hongjian didn't seem to be interested in her at all. Since they got married, the two had never consummated their marriage. Keep your mouth shut.

No way, the old man ran to Zhang Yongkang's house on the east side of the street who hung out with Liu Hongjian every day to question him. Xiuchunyuan had a good friend, the old scholar was dumbfounded for a moment, and suddenly felt heartbroken.

The sixty-year-old old man Liu trotted all the way home without breathing heavily. He picked up his stick and beat Liu Hongjian in a rage. But this time, he was so angry that his head was smoking, and the stick was almost discounted.

Liu Hongjian was not stupid, he ran out after being hit a few times, but he was thrown to the ground by a thunderstorm not long after he ran out, so the plot started at the beginning.

"Father?" Liu Hongjian, who was an orphan in his previous life and had never enjoyed family affection, saw an old man touching here and pinching there in distress, crying tears, he couldn't help shouting, his tone was a little jerky , after all, who calls it so in modern times.

"Hey! Son, I won't hit you anymore as a father. I'm so angry as a father. From now on, you can live a good life with Xiuxiu and stop messing around with those green-skinned beards, okay?" Old Xiucai Liu recognized his son He couldn't help being overjoyed, and completely forgot how he had planned to teach this unfilial son a lesson.

"Father, I remember. I was woken up by a thunderbolt yesterday. I won't be the same again from now on. I will work hard to make you live a better life!"

Liu Hongjian was also speechless. In his memory, his ex left such a pretty and lovely daughter-in-law alone, went to spend money in brothels, and had a girlfriend who was much older than him... What kind of obsession is this!It is simply unreasonable!

The old scholar was so excited to hear his son say such heart-warming words. You must know that the former Liu Hongjian would not say such words if he was beaten to death. He was silently thinking about the virtues of his ancestors. OK!

It has been raining for the past two days, so apart from walking around the house, Liu Hongjian is in touch with his beautiful daughter-in-law, Sun Xiuxiu.

Although the two of them are considered old couples according to memory, but as a rookie in his previous life, he was also a rookie with ideals, culture, morality, and discipline. He had no love experience at all, and he didn't know how to start. Come to Japan for a long time.

In order to enhance the relationship, at night Liu Hongjian took the initiative to chat with Sun Xiuxiu beside him. This was something that had never happened before. Sun Xiuxiu was naturally very happy in her heart. It seemed that the thunderbolt really made her husband a little bit It's different.

It was raining non-stop outside the house until it cleared up two days later. Unexpectedly, as soon as the rain stopped, the city became chaotic, and there were bursts of artillery fire from time to time.

The cheap old man Liu Xiucai also sighed in the past two days. After asking, he learned that the bandit army outside the city had been besieging the city for several days. The 20 bandit army has now completely surrounded the city of Beijing. He sighed while talking. , the old man is incompetent, and he is ashamed of the ancestors of the Liu family who were loyal to the country.

"Father, what year is it now?" Although the strange old man in the dream told him to go to the Ming Dynasty, he never told him the specific time.

"Today is March 17th, [-]th year of Chongzhen." The old scholar was stunned for a moment before realizing that his son was struck by lightning, maybe he really forgot something.

"I'm sub-Ao! Fake! The old man cheated on me..." Hearing his father's reply, Liu Hongjian became angry at that time.

Although he is a medical major, he loves to read history very much during his work-study program in the library. If he remembers correctly, the Chongzhen old man should have hanged himself in Jingshan at dawn on March [-]th. Isn't it just two days before Li Zicheng's peasant army will break through the city of Beijing?

"Fuck? Fake? What nonsense is my son talking about? Who cheated you?" The old scholar thought that his son was suffering from hysteria again, and he always thought that his son's head was broken by lightning.

"Father, the situation is critical! How is the defense in the city? If the bandit army breaks through the city, we should pack up our belongings as soon as possible and prepare to run away!" Liu Hongjian said anxiously.

Although Liu Hongjian already had an idea in his mind that he would be able to safely escape the city with his cheap father and beautiful daughter-in-law before the city was broken. With his ability, oh, the ability of the weapon in his hand, he still has the confidence to fight a way out. of.

At this critical juncture, how could he care about the entrustment of the strange old man in the dream, who foolishly tricked him into this turbulent place, and was struck by lightning as soon as he arrived, absolutely uneasy, Liu Hongjian hated him think.

"What are you panicking! Now the emperor's confidant and admiral Wang Cheng'en, the eunuch, is guarding the city of Beijing. The city of Beijing is as solid as gold, and even if there are many bandits, he will not be able to break through my Daming.

snort!Also, our old Liu family has received the emperor's favor, even if the city is broken, I will never abandon the city and run away, I will live and die with Daming! "The old scholar has changed from the way he was crying in front of his son the day before yesterday. Although he is in his twilight years now, he is righteous, his words are sonorous, and he speaks very seriously.

Liu Hongjian had some headaches, but what the old man said was the truth. The old Liu family was once an official to the right servant of the Ministry of War, and they were considered prominent for a while.

However, the descendants are not as good as the next generation. At this time, only this ancestral house is left. In order to marry him a wife, it was sold cheaply by the pharmacist Wang Ermazi, the owner of the pharmacy, and only one side house was left for rent...

"Son, if heaven really kills me, Daming, you can just take your wife out of the city, because you are old, and following you will be a burden..." The old scholar sighed again. Daming had made up his mind a long time ago when the country was in crisis, but He couldn't and didn't have the right to let his son die for Daming, not to mention, the old Liu family couldn't cut off the heir, otherwise who would avenge him?

"Father, even though my daughter-in-law is stupid, she doesn't want to abandon the city and run away. My grandfather and father both sacrificed their lives for the country. As the son of the Sun family, Xiuxiu is willing to live and die with Daming!" Xiuxiu stood at the door at some point, with her right hand Standing by the door, there was an unquestionable stubbornness in his crisp voice.

Sun Xiuxiu's grandfather, Sun Chengzong, was a former official to the Minister of the Ministry of War and the supervisor of Ji Liao. The old Liu's ancestors had served as servants, but Sun Chengzong was still fighting for the Ming Dynasty a few years ago.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, in order to defend Gaoyang, Sun Chengzong, who was at home at home, led the army and civilians to defend the city. After the city was broken, Sun Chengzong, his five sons, six grandsons, and ten nephews all died for the country.

"Forget it, the city hasn't been destroyed yet, maybe there is a way." His wife is full of loyalty, and she doesn't want to insult her own family. If Sun Chengzong didn't think that Sun Xiuxiu was young and a daughter, maybe Sun Xiuxiu would have died a few years ago. He died in Gaoyang City with his family.

As for his father, he had been impregnated with the Confucian thought of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism all his life, saying that it didn't make sense, so Liu Hongjian had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​running away, but it was not his character to sit and wait for death.

"My son has a good plan to defeat the enemy?" Although he didn't have any thoughts about his dandy son, the city of Beijing was already in turmoil. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not miss it, even if it was to let him die.

"I don't dare to say that the enemy is defeated. There is still a way to let the bandit army suspend the siege of the city. Well, it's just a little dangerous!"
