Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 288

There was an explosion in the flour room, and Xiao Erhei and Lian Er were knocked down by the strong air current, and they felt their viscera tumbling and swaying.

After finally standing up, luckily he was not injured. Taking advantage of the chaos, the two of them ran away hand in hand.

Panicked, he ran back to his uncle's house and came to his mother's bedroom. Xiao Erhei shouted: "Mother, mother, it's not good, something terrible has happened!"

Immediately, he told the whole story in a few words. Xiao Erhei's mother had been ill for a long time, and when she heard the bad news, she was so anxious that she couldn't breathe, her mouth was open, as if her throat was blocked with a stone.

"Lian'er, pack your bags." Xiao Erhei said, patting his mother on the back, "Mother, disaster is imminent, Shangzhou City will not be able to stay any longer, let's run for our lives. Go, go now!"

The mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, crying and saying: "Mother is very ill, and she hasn't got out of bed for a long time, and walking with you is a burden. Son, don't worry about mother, you and Lian'er run away ..."

"Mom, I'll carry you on my back!"

"No, mother has lived enough. She has been suffering all her life. It's okay to die... If she dies, mother will go to the underworld to take care of Xiaobao. Mother is sorry for Xiaobao... Son, you have to remember, you Your life is exchanged with Xiaobao's life, you have to live well and not die, you know?"

While crying, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom.Open the layer upon layer of veils, revealing a lot of fine silver, about three or two taels.

"Take the money and leave immediately!" The mother wrapped the handkerchief, stuffed it into Xiao Erhei's hand, and gave him a sudden push.

Xiao Erhei fell to the ground from the side of the bed. He heard a bang, turned his head and saw his mother crashed to death on the wall beside the bed.

"Mother, mother, you go to the southwest, the wide road, the long treasure boat..." Xiao Erhei burst into tears.

The movement in the house alarmed the neighbors, and people came to watch.An old man wiped his tears and said: "Xiao Erhei, we know what's going on, let's run, the dog tartar will come soon."

"Where are we going?" Xiao Er rubbed his teary eyes.

"South, go to the south!" People shouted in unison, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Xiao Erhei kowtowed three times to his mother's body, picked up the burden, grabbed Lian'er's arm, and ran wildly, and everyone dodged one after another.

Passing through the alley, a woman who sold her body to bury her father yelled, as if to say: "Run, run!"

Running across the street, a group of ragged and wounded men were resting on the city wall. They were hungry, wiping their sweat and cursing, as if to say: "Run, run!"

Out of the city gate, a woman was surrounded by several Qing soldiers, her clothes were disheveled and she dodged left and right. She saw Xiao Erhei and Lian Er, her desperate eyes were shining, as if to say: "Run, run! !"

On the official road, I met a group of farmers delivering grain, skinny as sticks.They looked at the food in the car, swallowed, and looked eagerly at Xiao Erhei and Lian Er who were running wildly, as if to say: "Run, run!"

Run, Xiao Erhei!
……

I don't know how many days and nights they ran, Xiao Erhei and Lian Er ran wildly in the wilderness, in the mountains and deep valleys, and in the scorching sun and rainstorm. They just ran to the south without thinking, as if the south was heaven.

On this day, the two arrived in Danfeng County.Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes was heard, and smoke and dust drifted in the distance.

Could it be that the Tartars are chasing him?
Xiao Erhei hurriedly took Lian'er and hid behind a slope, lying down in the damp grass, not daring to breathe out, and smelled the smell of wormwood in his nose.

Listening to the movement on the mountain road, Xiao Erhei understood that this was a large army marching.

Lian'er raised her head slightly, looked through the grass, and said in a low voice pleasantly surprised: "Brother Erhei, it seems to be the Ming army... Do you think so?"

Xiao Erhei bravely stood up and looked around, only to see banners covering the sky, swords shining brightly, and cannons dazzled him.

He hadn't studied, so he couldn't see what words were embroidered on the handsome flag, but he could tell that the outfits of these soldiers were indeed different from those of the Tartars. The most important thing was that they didn't shaved their heads and had long hair!

Xiao Erhei suddenly burst into tears, ecstatically, beckoning Lian'er, ran down the slope, knelt down and yelled, "Master Qingtian, help me!"

The army did not stop and continued to advance.But a young and mighty general rode up and asked, "Who are you? With braids on the back of your head, how dare you come to the Ming army?"

On the way to escape, Xiao Erhei had already thought over and over again what to say when he met the Ming army. He spoke clearly and articulately about what happened to him.

"What, He Zhen is dead? This old bastard didn't die in the hands of me, Li Guo, it's too cheap for him!" The young general felt a little regretful and annoyed, he was Li Guo.

Then he said to himself: "When He Zhen dies, he will die. He surrendered to the Tartars after the fall of the Dashun Dynasty. It is understandable. As long as I can kill Niu Jinxing and his son with my own hands, I will take revenge." !"

Li Guo came back to his senses, questioned Xiao Erhei carefully about the things in Shangzhou city, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the common people have been suffering from tartars for a long time. Once He Zhen died, Niu Quan is a fool. It would be better if he didn't attack Shangzhou at this time." When will it be?"

Xiao Erhei hurriedly said: "General, please take pity on us. I am willing to serve in the army and go to battle to kill the enemy. As long as I can fight the Tartars, I will do whatever I want!"

"You are also hard-fated people. This general hates the suffering of the people the most. Well, from today on, you will serve in the army."

Xiao Erhei hugged Lian Er, crying and laughing: "Lian Er, did you hear me, I have become a soldier of the Ming Dynasty!"

With that said, he kowtowed to Li Guo again.

Four days later, the Ming army attacked Shangzhou City.After He Zhen's death, Niu Quan, a idiot, was in panic and unable to restrain the soldiers. When he learned that the Ming army was coming, he fled to Xi'an with his wives and concubines overnight.

But the Han soldiers in the city were fed up with the oppression of the Tartars, mutinied and rebelled, hacked several Tartar generals to death, and opened their doors to surrender.

The people responded one after another. When the vanguard of the Ming army crossed the Danshui River, many people shaved their heads, changed into Ming Dynasty costumes, and knelt outside the city to welcome the king.

Xiao Erhei cut off his braids, held a knife, and followed his comrades into the city.He walked in the team with his head held high, feeling very relieved and proud.

The old neighbor saw Xiao Erhei, waved and shouted: "Xiao Erhei, you are back, have you joined the army?"

"Old man, I'm back. I'm a soldier of the Ming Dynasty now. See, I brought you the Ming army!" Xiao Erhei smiled brightly.

The old man wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay...the Ming army is here, we are saved! Xiao Erhei, work hard, kill more tartars!"

Xiao Erhei nodded, he saw his uncle's mill.The sun was shining brightly, the waterwheel was creaking, the willow branches were hanging on the river, and a pair of waterfowl came out of the water, clinging to each other.

"Lian'er, we're going home!" Xiao Erhei's heart was surging.
