Chapter 6 Zhu Family Village

Liangzhou is more than 200 miles northwest of Beiping. After seeing the simple map drawn by Yunlang, Qin Zhao didn't quite understand why they chose such a route when they escaped from Beiping. After thinking about it for a day, he felt It's really the safest place here.

The capital city of Chang'an is thousands of miles southeast of Beiping. According to Qin Zhao's speculation, the reason why they settled here incognito must be someone looking for them. Judging from the clues revealed in A Cai's words, she has relatives in the capital. Therefore, if those people want to find her and her brother and mother, they will basically focus on the road from Beiping to the capital.

And to the west, it is in the direction of Qiuci, and beyond that is the Anxi Protectorate, and Western Turks and other foreign lands. They have no foundation there, so it is naturally impossible to go there.

And according to Yunrui, it is under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Duhu Mansion, and it is a military fortress, protecting David's communication with the northwest countries. Although there were small battles with the Western Turkic countries, now David There are frequent trades between the country and the countries in the Western Regions, and there are not many ordinary criminals and exiles going there to make a living. Because of the large population, her brother suggested going west at that time.

Qin Zhao also felt that this choice was very reliable.

But later, when she knew why her mother and elder brother took her out of the Beiping mansion, she realized how unreliable this reliability was.Of course, she also had to admire her elder brother Qin Zhe for being a bold, careful and powerful man.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.This principle is true in ancient and modern times.

Anxian County is in the southeast of Liangzhou, and Ping'an Town is in the south of Anxian County. Occasionally, merchants from the Tubo Hun Kingdom pass by. The Zhujiazhuang where they live is in the southeast corner of Ping'an Town. It is Hexi Jiuqu, all the way to the southeast, you can reach Jincheng Yizhou.And to the east, you can go straight to Chang'an, the hinterland of the Kingdom of David.

There are many place names that Qin Zhao is familiar with, but Qin Zhao really can’t think of the Kingdom of David and the royal family surnamed Li. It’s okay to pester Yunrui to tell stories about the previous dynasty. Only then did he know that history began to change from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms after the Sui Dynasty. The royal family surnamed Li who was supposed to unify the country and create the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was finally defeated by Emperor Li. Taizu Li led his sons to subdue all the rebellious kings and finally established the David Empire.

That is to say, after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Rebellion, history has diverged, or, this is a time and space parallel to the time and space that Qin Zhao once lived in.

Whether it is a bifurcation of history or parallel time and space, to Qin Zhao, there is not much difference.

If the place she crosses is Datang, her only golden finger is nothing more than an understanding of history, and this will not help her real life.What is the difference between now and now?
The place where their family of three now lives is at the foot of the easternmost mountain in Zhujiazhuang, about half a mile away from the place where the villagers live. Therefore, during the time when she was sick, except for Li Langzhong, Qin Zhao did not I have never met any villager.

Until the new year, because A Cai and Yun Rui felt that they would live here for a long time, and when they came here, the patriarch, because A Cai was a villager who lived outside the village in the early years, and his parents died, felt pity for him, so he took the village head to the village. This uninhabited idle house was given to their family of three.A Cai and Yun Rui were grateful in their hearts, and they had to stay for a long time, so they had to establish a good relationship with the tribe, so they prepared a lot of annual gifts and sent them to the tribe. Although the gifts were light, every family had them, plus two Compared with ordinary villagers, people have different temperaments in conversation, so they are deeply liked by the villagers.

So during the New Year's Eve, many villagers returned the gift, and Qin Zhao's health was already recovering at that time, so he saw outsiders.

Their family is called Yun's family by the villagers. Although it is a foreign surname, A Cai is originally a villager. In addition, it is close to the junction of several countries. Although the villagers are tough, they are also simple in nature. A Cai and Yun Rui get along with the villagers very harmonious.

Gradually, some villagers came and went with their family.

Life is peaceful and peaceful, even though it is winter, Yunrui often goes hunting in the mountains in order to exchange some daily necessities with the prey in the market.

And A Cai stayed at home to take care of Qin Zhao.

It was cold outside, Qin Zhao felt that Yunrui went out every day, it was very hard work, and sometimes he would not return for a few days, so he asked A Cai: "Is our family short of money?"

Seeing the question, Ah Cai was very surprised: "Why does Ah Zhao ask these things? This is not what Ah Zhao should care about."

"Daddy goes out every day, and it's really hard."

After the new year, Qin Zhao is already four years old. Although it is only two or three months, he looks much older than when he first came here. Not only can he walk very quickly, but he can also talk like an adult. look.

A Cai and Yun Rui saw that she was well-behaved and sensible, apart from feeling sad, they were also happy that they could take good care of Qin Zhao.

"It's hard work, but if Yun Lang sits at home like this every day, how can he bear it? Our family is not short of money, but if we don't go to make a living, the villagers will think more about it. Besides. Yunlang is very skilled, and here we are in a place of bitter cold, and the life of the villagers is extremely difficult. Now it is freezing cold, and when going hunting in the mountains, it is very easy to encounter big insects, which is very dangerous. If one or two young men were killed, with Yunlang following him, he would be able to help others, and he would also gain something, so it is always a good thing to kill two birds with one stone."

There is one more thing A Cai didn't say, although she is from Zhujiazhuang, but she is a woman and married to someone with a different surname, so how can she go back to the village to settle down?The villagers thought that she was a member of the clan and gave her a place, so they should try their best to build a good relationship with the villagers and clan members.

If you can help others and help others, there will always be benefits in the future.

Furthermore, when they first came out, although they brought some gold and silver items with them, it was not easy to bring much common copper coins, so they didn't have much cash available for use. Although gold and silver could be exchanged for copper coins, such a small place, Take it out rashly, it's too eye-catching after all, it's better to earn more daily expenses over time, which is serious.There will be more places to spend money in the future, so it’s not good to sit and eat like this. If there is a place to spend a lot of money in the future, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Qin Zhao never had to worry about money in his previous life, and he just saw that his current life was really hard, and Yun Rui was busy going out early and returning late, so he asked this question. Seeing what A Cai said, he gave up go.

Spring comes late in the north, and only in May does the ice and snow melt and everything recovers.

Outside the fence of their house is a small road leading to the village, and to the south of the road is a clear river.

The northwest is not all a place of wind and sand. On the contrary, when spring comes, the whole Zhujiazhuang is full of greenery. The small river in front of the gate is full of water. Even at night, you can hear the sound of gurgling water, which is very pleasant.In Qin Zhao's impression, this kind of land in the northwest border should be full of yellow sand, but the landmass thousands of years ago is different after all.It can be regarded as refreshing her understanding of ancient geography.

Qin Zhao also changed into a thin spring shirt instead of the bloated winter clothes that almost made people unable to move.

But it was a few dresses made of tender pink brocade silk.

There is no child in the whole village dressed like her.But Ah Cai and Yun Lang are doing as the Romans do, and they are all dressed in coarse cloth.

When A Cai went out again, because she was worried that Qin Zhao would stay alone in this remote home, she would also take her with her.

Qin Zhao is really tall and beautiful, coupled with a small eye-catching dress, two small buns are tied on his head, tied with pink ribbons, no matter where he goes, he is very attractive.She is still young, and she is very distressed by being kissed and touched by the aunts and aunts in the village all day long.

What surprised Ah Cai was that there were so many children in the village, but none of them took the initiative to play with Qin Zhao.Qin Zhao is not really four or five years old, so he is naturally not interested in making mud with those little kids who still wear crotch pants.

After doing this several times, Qin Zhao was no longer willing to go out with A Cai.

"Is it because Ah Zhao has no friends, so he is sad? Our Ah Zhao is as beautiful as a little fairy, so it's okay to ignore them."

A Cai was probably afraid that her young heart would be hurt, so she comforted her.

Qin Zhao looked helplessly at her clothes that were incompatible with the whole village. She dressed like this, it would be strange if those children would play with her.But she wasn't really a young child, she was at leisure, so she didn't mention it.

A Cai needs to go out to wash clothes every day, and also needs to go to the village to pound rice, or take money to exchange for food, so she has to go out every day. After Qin Zhao and her have gone out a few times, he is unwilling to go again A Cai was worried, Qin Zhao said, "Why don't daddy teach me martial arts, firstly, I can keep fit, and secondly, mother can't stay with me all day at home. If I have martial arts, mother doesn't have to worry about going out."

Yun Rui felt that what she said was reasonable, but considering Ah Zhao's background, it was right to teach some martial arts, and considering their current situation, if Ah Zhao had the power to protect himself, it would be a great thing.Since then, every morning, I would pick her up from the bed and teach her a few tricks, and because she was too young to hold a weapon, and she was afraid of accidentally hurting her, she simply went to the mountain to chop wood. I made her a short wooden snatch and wooden sword, and in July, although Qin Zhao's set of snatching methods didn't have half the attack power, they were still capable of playing well.

On that day, there was a family in the village celebrating a wedding. A Caiyuan wanted to take Qin Zhao with her, but Qin Zhao said: "Mother will go first. After Shangwu, A Zhao will go to find her. I will practice at home first." The marksmanship taught by daddy, daddy said, after this set of marksmanship is proficient, I will teach Azhao swordsmanship. And the homework assigned by daddy yesterday, Azhao has to finish it. "

In addition to practicing robbing, Yunrui also began to teach her how to read and write.

Because in the past two months, Qin Zhao often stayed at home alone, and nothing happened, so A Cai agreed, but she explained carefully before going out: "If you are hungry, there is something to cook in the closet." Good jujube cake, and don’t drink cold water, don’t run around alone at home, and don’t go to the river.”

"I got it, I got it, you have to say something every day when you go out, Ah Zhao can memorize it by himself."

Qin Zhao pushed A Cai out.

Waiting to see A Cai's figure gradually go away on the small road, the smoke from the cooking in the distant village, the sound of chickens and dogs coming from time to time, surrounded by green mountains and clear water, Qin Zhao is in a good mood, stepping on the clear singing of birds, returning to After leaving the courtyard, he went into the house and took his short gun, and practiced seriously.

When he was sweating all over, he finished playing a set of marksmanship, put away his hand, leaned the wooden spear under the ancient cypress in the courtyard, took the towel and wiped the sweat from his face, looked up at the sky, the sun had risen old high.

Qin Zhao entered the house, intending to take a pen and paper to practice calligraphy on the stone table under the ancient cypress tree in the courtyard. As soon as she went out, she saw a small head protruding from the fence gate of her house. Seeing Qin Zhao going out, she panicked. He shrank his head all of a sudden.

After waiting for a while, Qin Zhao didn't make a sound, so he couldn't help stretching out his head again, and saw Qin Zhao standing there smiling at him.

The child's face was dark, but his eyes were bright. Seeing Qin Zhao smiling, he couldn't help grinning, revealing two rows of shining white teeth.If it wasn't so dark and translucent, it would look like a little monk in a kung fu kid.

Qin Zhao was overwhelmed by her cuteness.

　In addition to asking for collections and recommendation tickets, there is nothing else to say.
