I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

In the west of Chen State, in the border area, Gongxi County.

In a desolate small village, Zhuo Yao fought with the big men around him in order to grab a bag of rations.

Three or five big men were subdued by Zhuo Yao in a few seconds.

"If you're not very capable, don't go out and embarrass yourself. Just make a living by robbing families! It's dirtying my eyes!" Zhuo Yao put the grain bag on his shoulder and said in disgust.

The opponent couldn't beat him again and again, so he only dared to mutter a few words, "Damn, you blind man, why should I dirty your eyes..."

Zhuo Yao didn't care what they said, he just carried the grain bag and left.

His eyes were covered with black cloth to protect him from light. My right leg was still lame, so I used a wooden stick to explore the path while walking.

The last time he escaped from the army's pursuit, he encountered a landslide. He was hit by rocks. A stone hit him on the head. After that, he couldn't see. He only felt a faint light and couldn't see the outline clearly, but I probably knew there was a shadow.

Several bones in his body seemed to have been smashed, and his movement was restricted. He groped for a long time in the mountains before he found the village.

Villages were also affected and all houses were destroyed.

A family picked him up. This kind-hearted family thought he was accidentally affected by a landslide while passing by, so they picked him up and took him back to a temporary house to let him recover.

Zhuo Yao was relieved to be rescued, but suddenly his strength gave out and it became difficult to walk. He had to ask the family to let him recover from his injuries.

But the good times did not last long, and within a few days of recovery, the dam upstream of the temporary gathering place collapsed and the river changed its course. The villagers were in danger of being submerged, so the government asked them to move away.

At that time, his injuries were the most serious. Because there was no medicine, the skin wounds had suppurated, but the most serious injury was the bone injuries. The only doctor in the village put a plaster on him, barely fixing the shape of the bones, and let him rest well. Don't move too much, otherwise the leg will become useless and it will have to be amputated.

Zhuo Yao had no choice but to dare not move around. Fortunately, this family was kind enough to pull a cart and move him to the west with him.

However, refugees have never had a good life. Some places are willing to accept them, but only to make them tenant slaves, and the contracts they sign are death contracts.

If they really signed, they would have to work hard for those rural gentlemen for the rest of their lives. Zhuo Yao knew how evil these families were, so he told them not to sign and move westward.

After wandering for a long time, I came to the westernmost part of Chen Kingdom. Although I was poor here, I could get a piece of land.

Only then did we come here, Gongxi County.

Going further west is the Western Region. There are several countries in the Western Region, all of which are small countries. They have their own affairs and are defended by dangerous mountains. Although their military strength is weak, they are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zhuo Yao went back with the grain bag on his back, and a young girl of sixteen or seventeen hurriedly came to greet him and handed him a glass of water, "Brother Black Tiger, how are you? Have you received the relief grain?"

Zhuo Yao put down the grain bag and said, "I got it and dealt with them. They will never dare to bully you next time."

The girl's name is Tang Sanmei. She has no name. Because she is the third youngest, she is called Sanmei.

She checked the grain bag Zhuo Yao brought back and beamed, "Thank you, Brother Black Tiger. Thanks to you, otherwise I would have been hungry again!"

As she spoke, she opened the pot and began to wash away the gravel and dust in the grain bag. This was all low-quality grain and it would take a long time to clean it.

While picking her, he spoke, "There are always so many stones in this grain. The teeth I gave to my father last time were damaged, and my mother's teeth are not good either. I have to pick them clean. Brother Heihu can't see it, so Even worse, you can rest assured that this time it will be absolutely clean!"

"I have bought the land now, thanks to Brother Heihu. What do you think is good to grow in this land? It seems that there is no wheat in this land. I see that they all grow peanuts. Let's grow peanuts too. I heard that we can sell them in a year. A lot of money..."

Tang Sanmei kept talking, and as long as Zhuo Yao didn't interrupt her, she could keep talking.

Zhuo Yao is also used to it, and just chops firewood silently. When he first lost his sight, he was still a little unable to chop accurately, but now he is proficient and can chop accurately every time.

The family tried their best to save him, but he had nothing to repay except giving them a jade pendant and the only silver he had. It was only natural that he help with some work.

But Zhuo Yao understands that this is not his destiny.

He didn't know what was going on with Zhuo Ling and Zhuo Hong. The worries in his heart often made him unable to sleep well.

That night he couldn't sleep again and overheard the two old couple next door discussing with Tang Sanmei.

"Now that we have bought the land, the house is a little dilapidated, but it is sheltered from the wind and rain. We are finally stable, and we can talk about Third Sister's marriage."

Zhuo Yao lived next door, and although they talked quietly, he heard them clearly.

Tang Sanmei blushed when she heard this, "Dad, what are you talking about? Sanmei and Brother Black Tiger have nothing to do with each other!"

"That's not the case yet! Look at you, pestering others all day long. There's nothing wrong with that. Although he's blind, he can work and has strength. It doesn't matter if he gets married or if he wants to start his own business. If you follow him, your mother and I can rest assured. It would be fine if you just stay with us, as you can help with the farming. If you have more than one person, you can have many helpers. I think he is not lazy and looks good..."

Several people talked a lot, which made Zhuo Yao feel even more stressed.

He couldn't stay here forever, he had things to do.

If the Zhennan Palace is stable, it will be easy to repay his kindness with money and a future.

But now he has no power and is being hunted. He is so powerless even to repay his kindness.

He thought for a long time, he had to go!

But he must make this family stable. This is the lowest degree of repayment.

Zhuo Yao made a plan in his mind. If he went straight to southern Shanxi and met Zhuo Ling, the journey would be difficult and dangerous.

What's more, even if he can unify the Shanxi Army, what can he do to the Empress Dowager and the others?

Nan Chen holds the Cangzhou Army, the troops of the Wei family in Changqing City, the soldiers hidden by several aristocratic families, and even the disgusting Yao Nu Army of the Southern Barbarians to help them. A Shanxi Southern Army can't do anything to them.

After thinking about it, there was only one way to unite the troops in the north.

But the person in the North looked down upon most was his father. He had no power, no power, and no money. Why the North should cooperate with him was another question.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized how hollow I was. Apart from the title of the Crown Prince of Zhennan Palace, I had lived for more than twenty years with nothing to rely on.

At night, Tang Sanmei's family all went to bed. Zhuo Yao couldn't sleep anymore and sat up again.

He thought over and over again the letters his father sent home over the years.

In the past, he thought those principles of running an army were nonsense, but now when he thought about it, it actually made his hair stand on end, and he was enlightened.

If you want to convince people from the bottom of their hearts, in addition to admiring your own strong strength, you must also induce them with benefits and move them with emotion.

Zhuo Yao took off the black cloth in front of his eyes and walked outside the room. He felt the thin and soft light and shadow.

Tonight, the moon and stars must be sparse.

Zhuo Yao had the idea of ​​starting a new business. He wanted to have an army of his own.

Just as he was thinking this, he felt the ground tremble and the stones dance.

Zhuo Yao lay on the ground and listened carefully. Blindness made his hearing more sensitive.

The sound of horse hooves!

It didn't take long for the quiet village to become noisy.

"The horse thieves are coming! The horse thieves are coming!" Tang Sanmei's parents beat gongs and drums and frantically informed every household in the village.
