Brother Wanfu

Chapter 1 Girl Don't Go Out

Since the end of the first lunar month, there has not been a drop of rain in the sky of Qingzhou.

The spring seedlings are thirsty in the ground and have to be watered with a load. Even the soldiers and civilians in the Coast Guard have to withdraw some of their staff and go home to plant the land. If this continues, it will be difficult in autumn and winter this year.

There was no relief from the imperial court, and the people prayed for rain. The prefect’s parents in Qingzhou, and the commander of the Qingzhou Guard, who was in charge of the military, went to the Dragon King Temple near the sea. The two adults fasted for three days to pray for rain. I don’t know if it’s true The sincerity moved the sky, and I really begged for a rain.

The rain began to fall before the first white light arrived in the early morning, and it fell in one breath until the afternoon of the next day.

It rained heavily for a whole day and a half, and green shadows appeared from the mountainside to the outskirts of the city.

Although the flag on the high city wall was wet, it was still blown up by the strong sea wind blowing from the east sea.

There are also green shadows in the city. It seems that moss has grown on the eaves of every household overnight. Bluestone slabs and grass.

The little maid with a double ring bun looked up at the sky from the porch, until the rain slowed down and the sky brightened, the little maid immediately turned around and called out to the window behind the door.

"Girl, the rain has stopped!"

When the voice fell to the ground, the half-covered window was pushed open by Yoyo.

The girl sitting on the small couch under the window looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was wearing a light-yellow embroidered peach flower jacket that was not old. Scattered on the front of the forehead.

In the moist spring breeze, the girl breathed out comfortably, then put down the book in her hand, straightened up and stretched, took off her shoes from the couch and walked down, answering the little maid's cry.

Her voice is lazy and fresh, like the young grass sprouting after the rain.

"When the rain stops, let's go up the mountain."

Qin Tian is not a person who likes heavy etiquette, and he is going to a hill less than two miles away from the city, so he doesn't mention any grooming, just changed into dirty clothes and shoes, and his long hair is neatly tied Got up, called two maidservants who were nimble, and was about to go out.

It's just that as soon as Qin Tian and his maid walked to the back door, someone rushed over from the front yard, panting.

The old steward, Qin Zhou, looked like an old winter melon, carrying his heavy body and running over the water-logged stone slabs.

"Girl, don't go out!"

Qin Tian glanced at the dry-mouthed old steward, and asked the porter's boy to bring him a glass of water.

"What's the matter, Uncle Zhou? I just went up the mountain to pick some shepherd's purse. The rain just stopped, and the shepherd's purse on the mountain is fresh and tender, waiting for me."

She explained with a smile.

The old steward, Qin Zhou, gave his girl a helpless look and had to tell her.

"Two days ago, the master sent a letter, saying that the girl should only stay at home recently and not go out."

These words made Qin Tian raise his eyebrows.

She was surprised, "Dad, what do you mean, you can't even go up the mountain?"

Qin Zhou sighed, "Don't talk about going up the mountain, the old servant is watching what the master means, telling you not to go to the teahouse in Qianjie to obey the book."

A drop of rain fell on Qin Tian's shoulder, and Qin Tian was startled.

Her father has never allowed her to go out. The farthest place she has been to in the past 15 years is the small hill outside the city where she grows to pick some wild vegetables and herbs.

Their family had no relatives or friends, and they didn't even have any dealings with the neighbors, so Qin Tian naturally didn't know many outsiders.Qin Tian doesn't know if all girls in other families are like this, but she is like this, and she has been like this for 15 years.

But she got used to it all the time, but what happened now?
"Uncle Zhou, why is this? Recently, there have been pirates and pirates making trouble? Not to mention the magistrate and commander, have you just visited the Dragon King Temple? They must have cleared the sea, right?"

Several counties near the sea under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture are harassed by pirates and pirates all year round, but most of them are from late spring to midsummer.

Now that spring is still cold, the two adults went to the coast again, the pirates are not so arrogant.

When Qin Tian asked, Uncle Zhou shook his head and said he didn't know, but just persuaded her in a gentle voice.

"Girl, go back to the house. It just rained, and the mountain is full of mud, isn't it? Your dress was dirty for no reason."

But Qin Tian just laughed, and tugged at the dusty and unremarkable clothes on his body, "Are you afraid of getting dirty with just my clothes?"

As she spoke, she took the small bamboo basket from the servant girl's hand.

"Since there are no bandits disturbing, don't be nervous, Uncle Zhou. You see, I'll go pick such a small basket of shepherd's purse, and go back quickly after the rain, and it will take less than an hour."

The old steward was worried, "But girl, the master sent someone to send an order, why don't we listen to it?"

Qin Tian laughed, the wind blew the broken hair on her forehead and danced leisurely, the corners of her mouth and eyebrows were all curled up, but there was a playful smile in her eyes.

She leaned in front of the old steward.

"But if I don't say it, if you don't say it, if you tell others not to say it, wouldn't dad know?"

As she spoke, her lively smile grew even wider.

"When I come back, I will cook for you and try it myself. Didn't you say that your eyes are hot and painful these days, and this fresh wild shepherd's purse is the best way to relieve the pain of red eyes."

"It's hard for the girl to think about the old slave, thinking about curing the old slave's illness, but..."

"Don't worry about it, I'll be back in a blink of an eye!"

Before the words were finished, while the clothes were flying, the man had already got into the carriage neatly, and called the servant to drive the horse to leave.

"Oh, girl."

The old steward sighed repeatedly.

My girl has always been a trouble-free nature, she only loves two things, one is to pass the time in the teahouse listening to books and books, the other is to get some food, she is good at medicinal food, so she goes to the nearby hills from time to time Take a turn.

Qin Zhou really couldn't bear to break Qin Tian's interest, so he could only call the servant girl to take care of the girl from afar.

Qin Tian lay on the carriage window and waved the veil with him.

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, go back quickly!"

Qin Zhou sighed and nodded again. After all, he agreed, and looked at the direction the carriage was leaving from a distance.

Girls from other families pick flowers in spring, go boating in summer, polo in autumn, and enjoy snow in winter. The girls in their family only go out for these two things, and nothing else.

She hasn't even been out of this county.

The mountain road that had soaked up the rain was really muddy. Just now, someone seemed to be running down the mountain with hurried steps. Qin Tian's carriage skidded, and the two sides almost collided.

Qin Tian simply ordered the carriage to be parked at the foot of the mountain, and she and the servant girl walked up the uninhabited mountain road.

Below the mountainside are farmlands reclaimed by farmers, and there are no concentrated wild shepherd's purses there, but Qin Tian knows that there is a forest and grassland in the west of the mountain, and she comes here every year to look for some game, and she was here last year. Picked up a gray fluffy hare and brought it home.

This place was discovered when her mother brought her here before she was alive.

"Girl, we're here!" The servant girl pointed to a piece of green grass in front of her and called Qin Tian.

Qin Tian paused slightly, raised his head and looked forward.

The bare green vegetable field in winter is now soaked in spring rain, and dots of green shadows are connected into a piece, full of the breath of another new year.

It has been more than three years since my mother passed away.

When mother was there, although the small courtyard was lonely, there were always people to accompany her. Qin Tian nestled in the small courtyard and felt that the spring and autumn passed quickly, but since her mother passed away, she was the only one left.

Although Uncle Zhou and the others still accompany her in the courtyard, her father seldom comes back and leaves in a hurry every time she does. She also has no brothers or sisters, no siblings connected by blood, no one who can get close and cling to each other.

Sometimes in a trance, she didn't know where she came from and where she was going.

I don't even know who I am
As soon as the thoughts flashed, Qin Tian shook his head and took them back.

In the forest and grassland nourished by the rain and dew, dots of tall small white flowers popped out, and the young buds waved under the flowers.

It is shepherd's purse.

Qin Tian laughed and called the two maids to start picking.

"Pick more, everyone can eat tonight."

"The girl is right!"

The three of them got busy, and Qin Tian walked to the edge of the forest and grassland on the mountainside while picking.

Everything was quiet, the only sound in the forest was the patter of the wind blowing the raindrops on the leaves, but Qin Tian paused for a moment while digging up the shepherd's purse.

She tilted her ear.

It seemed that someone was crying.

Following the sound, his sight was blocked by the tall rocks in front of him.

Qin Tian didn't know if someone had an accident, so he greeted the young man who was guarding not far away, and walked to the back of the rock with him.

The crying sound became clearer, Qin Tian and the servant listened carefully.

There were bursts of pleading words, accompanied by the sound of kowtows.

Qin Tian was surprised.

Are there bandits on this mountain?Has anyone encountered bandits here? !

But this small hill is very close to the county seat, and there are thousands of households stationed not far away, and no bandits dare to haunt the vicinity.

She was never a troublemaker, so she immediately signaled the boy to stop, and quietly stopped behind the bushes beside the rock.

Through the less luxuriant branches, Qin Tian saw the begging person at a glance.

This person was dressed as a servant of a wealthy family, his upper body was tied with five flowers, and there was a person on the left and right, with a sword at his waist, and the person in front pointed at him with a scabbard.

The man was so frightened that he couldn't help but kowtow, his face was covered with blood, and after kowtowing countless times, he raised his head tremblingly and looked at the person in front of him.

"I beg you to spare my slave's life! I don't dare anymore, and I will borrow a hundred courage from my servant, and I will never dare to accept money from outsiders to do things. I beg you to show mercy for my wife's sake."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Qin Tian understood the way.

It turned out that the master punished the slaves who accepted bribes from outsiders.

In this way, he can either be arrested and punished in front of the servants at home, or he will be beaten here and there, without showing it to others.

This is not a shocking event, and it is a family matter, Qin Tian will never interfere again.

She was thinking about leaving here without a trace, but she heard another person speak.

A gust of cool mountain wind blew the man's unwavering voice, there was no doubt that it should be the man's master.

It's just that when Qin Tian heard those two extremely cold words, his ears suddenly went numb as if being blown by a cold wind.

"Buried."

Qin Tian's eyes widened instantly.

It's not just a little punishment, it's a burial
It's just that he didn't wait for Qin Tian to react, or even wait for the slave who made a mistake to ask.

Suddenly, the sound of a sword being unsheathed resounded in the silent forest.

Qin Tian couldn't help but followed the voice and looked over.

The sword was unsheathed, and the cold light flashed sharply. Someone walked up to the servant, raised the sword in his hand and dropped it, and the criminal slave who was about to shout fell silent.

Something splashed out!

Qin Tian only felt the ringing in his ears magnified several times, and all he could see was bright red.

She froze.

A few more people came over and pulled this person aside neatly.

It took half a cup of tea to dig a hole, release people, and bury the earth. The servant who committed the crime seemed to have his soul taken away, leaving no trace.

The line of sight was blocked by rocks, Qin Tian couldn't see his master's face, nor did he dare to see it.

But the man spoke again.

His voice was as devoid of emotion as before.

"Don't mention this matter in front of Madam."

Qin Tian didn't know who the wife he was talking about was, so someone under his command asked.

"But Lord, this person is Madam's companion for nearly 20 years. If Madam asks, will you tell Madam that this person died accidentally outside?"

The subordinate asked a question cautiously, and waited for the man's reply without further words.

Qin Tian still couldn't see his appearance, but finally heard some gentle emotions in his words.

"No need." He said. "My mother is kind, but she is weak. When I return home, I just want to say that this person is lost."

It turned out that the lady was his mother.
It is this person who is so ruthless in his methods, he still cares about his mother after all.

I don't know what will happen if someone provokes his mother under his nose.
As soon as Qin Tian's thoughts wandered, he was immediately pulled back by himself.

She didn't intend to listen to the wall, but she heard a lot.

The person she should care about most now, perhaps herself, if she is discovered at this moment, she doesn't know what will happen.

Qin Tian held his breath more and more concentrated, even his own boy beside him didn't dare to take a breath.

No, just when Qin Tian was silently thinking about the group of people leaving soon, the cold man rang again, following a gust of mountain wind, it fell straight into her ears.

"I'm afraid I can't hear you clearly behind the mountain rock, you two might as well come to the front of the mountain."

When the voice fell to the ground, Qin Tian's heart stopped beating suddenly.
