Farmer’s Blessed Girl

As soon as he saw Liu Shi, Master Bai hurriedly asked about it.

Mrs. Liu asked someone to serve him tea, and asked the kitchen to prepare some sweet soup for Mr. Bai to temporarily fill his stomach. Then he said, "You may not believe it, I think they are coming for my Bai family."

Master Bai couldn't understand and asked, "Why?"

Liu didn't answer, but instead asked: "Lizhi, they seem to be looking for someone in the village, it should be a young man, in Zhou Jin's house, both sides responded very well, do you know that he has a younger brother named Zhou silver?"

Master Bai was startled, "Are they here for Zhou Yin?"

Liu Shi couldn't help sitting up straight and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Master Bai coughed uncomfortably, turned his head and asked, "Why is my aunt suddenly interested in these things?"

Liu said, "You tell me first, and I'll tell you later."

Aware of Liu's wariness, Master Bai was not sad, but even more shocked. How big is this matter, my aunt doesn't even believe it herself.

Master Bai pondered for a while before saying, "Zhou Jin has a younger brother. When my family moved in, he was not in the village, but I can often hear people in the village talk about him."

But in the past six years, everyone has subconsciously avoided Zhou Yin, as if it was a taboo, but it was.

Master Bai organized the language and said, "In the eleventh year of Dade, this drought was severe, and the family of Zhou Jin's family was not very good at that time, because the ancestors had a small population and there were many children in their generation, so the family was very difficult. This disaster, their family is the worst."

It was only after the founding of this dynasty that people began to divide the land, and so far it has only been divided into three generations.

So Zhou Jin's father only left a piece of Yongyetian for the two brothers.

But Zhou Jin was too able to give birth, six sons and a daughter. At that time, Zhou Dalang had just married, but he had not yet married, so another person was added to the family.

A drought forced their family into a desperate situation.

Master Bai said: "I heard that Zhou Yin was brought up by Zhou Jin's daughter-in-law, Qian Shi. He was very filial and clever. He was only fourteen years old at the time, and he sold himself to a caravan while no one was paying attention. , I exchanged a bag of food for the Zhou family."

Liu Shi listened silently.

"Not only that, he is also very righteous, and he also thinks of the villagers. He does not say what he did for the village before, but he said that he followed the villagers after a short walk and came back with the caravan. In the caravan, he gave to the villagers. The young and middle-aged people won a part-time job, and they introduced people from several families to work as coolies in the county town, and with that little food, many people survived."

"But after that, he left with the caravan and never came back." In order to beg Master Bai to help cover up, the village chief said all these things about Zhou Yin like a bamboo tube, and Master Bai said the same thing. Zhou Yin's impression was also very deep, and this incident was always in the bottom of his heart, so he always remembered, "The Zhou family went to look for it, including the caravan passing by here again, and I heard that he suffered from the cold shortly after he left. , when he got the epidemic, the people in the caravan left him some money and left, and there is no news after that."

Liu Shi said: "It is also luck that those who have caught the epidemic are still alive."

"Yes, Zhou Yin was indeed still alive at the time. The first time my nephew saw him was in the early summer of six years ago. At that time, he returned home with his wife and children. I talked to him for a while, and I thought he was a bright and unrestrained person. ."

Because of this, he only invited the other party to go home to drink at that time. Master Bai felt that if Zhou Yin was alive at that time, they might become good friends.

And Liu Shi couldn't help but clenched the handle of the chair when he heard the word "early summer" and asked, "What happened later?"

Master Bai lowered his eyes and said, "The second time we met, they were already dead."

After a pause, Mr. Bai said: "Zhou Jin said that his younger brother wanted to go back to his hometown to live, and asked someone to send all the furniture to the county seat. At that time, he and his wife went to the county seat to fetch things, but they didn't come back that day. The villagers who went up the mountain to look for mushrooms found that they had fallen on the mountain, with blood all over their bodies and scratches on their faces, but the villagers knew the two of them very well and recognized them at a glance, so they carried them back."

"At that time, they had nothing on them, and even the donkey cart they had brought with them were all gone. So the Zhou family believed that they had encountered robbers and were going to report the crime to the county town. Who knew that officers and soldiers would first come to the village to investigate."

Mr. Bai said: "I was the first to receive people. They were careless at the time. I saw the portraits of Zhou Yin and his wife first, so I asked another question. They said they were arresting robbers, but how could Zhou Yin be a robber? ?"

But Liu asked, "Do they have a donkey cart?"

Master Bai was stunned for a moment, then nodded in confusion, "Yes, it was brought back by Zhou Yin. He brought his wife and children back to his hometown, but he couldn't walk back, so he bought a donkey cart. What's wrong?"

Liu Shi slowly shook his head, "Then what?"

Mr. Bai was a little embarrassed. At that time, he had just lived in Qili Village for more than a year. Although the villagers were very enthusiastic, he always felt out of place because of his identity.

For Zhou Yin's sake, but also to improve the relationship between the two sides, he held off the official at that time and let someone go to notify Zhou Jin's family first.

Then when the official went to ask questions, almost everyone said that they didn't know the two people in the portrait.

Master Bai said: "Almost everyone in the village is surnamed Zhou, even if it is not from an ancestor, they are all related to each other, and everyone in the village has received the favor of Zhou Yin, and these officials are not local officials in Luojiang County. It's easy to get past them."

"But that's it, Zhou Jin's family didn't dare to erect a monument to Zhou Yin and his wife, they just quietly buried it on the mountain."

Liu Shi seemed a little uncomfortable. He leaned his elbows on the table and asked, "What about their children? Didn't they say they were their wives and children?"

Master Bai paused for a moment, then said softly, "That person's auntie has also seen it."

A bright light flashed through his mind, and Liu asked, "Yes, is it Zhou Man?"

"Yes, that is the child, but she doesn't know it."

Liu shi nodded, the tears could no longer be held back, and began to fall rustling.

Master Bai was startled, he stepped forward quickly, and handed her the handkerchief, "Auntie, you are..."

Liu wiped her tears and said softly, "This may be fate."

Master White:  …

"Qi'er didn't die at the hands of mountain bandits."

Master Bai was startled and asked quickly, "How come?"

"Why not?" Liu Shi said a little excitedly: "Qi'er just wants to suppress bandits, so she shouldn't come to Luojiang County. Shu County is not close to Luojiang County."

"Didn't Ziqi die in Shu County while suppressing bandits?"

"No," Liu said with certainty: "They transported Qi'er's body to Shu County for disguise."
