Chapter 473: recent situation
Chapter 473 The recent situation of the deceased
The two refugees who escaped before brought back five other refugees as helpers, and these seven men came after them aggressively.
When Baogen heard the news, he wanted to copy someone to stop him, but how could his father and mother be willing to send his only son, whom he loved since childhood, to die?
He was about to hand over the child and things to the second elder, but the second elder was already supporting each other, turned around and ran back on the way.
While running, his parents shouted for him to take the child away without looking back.
Baogen, who was carrying a basket on his back and was still holding the two children, had no time to stop him, so he could only watch his parents fall at the feet of the chasing refugees.
Before he fell down, the lame Baogen father killed two refugees with the hatchet hidden behind Baogen's mother.
Then the two elders were cut down. Although they were cut down, they were still alive when they fell to the ground and did not lose consciousness immediately.
In order to buy as much time as possible for their children and grandchildren, the two elders tightly hugged the legs of the refugees around them.
The strong man who was about to cross them to chase Baogen and the three was hugged by the second elder from behind his legs, so he could only turn around and deal with the second elder who had become a blood man.
Hearing his father and mother repeating "Run" from high to low, Baogen burst into tears, but in order not to waste the chance of survival that his parents fought for him and the two children, he could only use With all his strength, he hugged the two children and desperately fled to the distance and into the mountains.
Relying on the cover of the mountains and the night, Baogen managed to escape with his two children.
In the following years, he first retrieved the bones of his parents with the help of his uncle's family, and then took his two children to the mountains to become both father and mother.
Until the world was peaceful, Baogen took his two children back to the village where they used to live.
He is different from his uncle and cousins. He is not a hunter. Even though his uncle and cousin are not secretive and have taught him a lot of skills, he still cannot hunt any big prey.
In addition to earning his living, he has been making a living by opening up wasteland and digging traps to catch small animals these years. However, the fields in the mountains can't harvest much food, so the life of the father and son has been very tight.
After all the world was peaceful, Baogen wanted to go down the mountain. He felt that he could do more things down the mountain than on the mountain.
When the steward Ye Jinkui sent back to look for old friends arrived at the village, more than half of the village still retained the old dilapidated houses. Only a few villagers who returned to their hometown after the war worked hard to rebuild or repair their old houses. house.
Baogen’s family used to be considered a wealthy family in the village, and the house was well-repaired, but because of this, their family became a key search target for those rebels, bandits, and refugees.
However, their home is not a magical space that can regenerate resources. The first batch of guys who went in to search came back with a full load, and the other guys behind naturally had to use the house to vent their anger.
This also led to the destruction of Baogen's house much more seriously than most other families.
After Baogen and his son went down the mountain, his cousins first helped him clean up the burned and smashed things in the yard, and then helped them build three adobe straw houses.
It’s not that they don’t want to help build a better one, it’s that their family and Baogen’s family are actually having a difficult time.
After arriving at the destination, the steward of Ye's family did not enter the village immediately, but first went to the local chain store opened by Ye Anlan.
The shop is located in the county seat, and I don't know much about the surrounding villages and towns, but there are Ye Anlan's former subordinates in the shop. Although these people have retired due to injuries, their ability to detect intelligence has become increasingly sophisticated.
With their help, the steward of the Ye family quickly found out the families that Ye Jinkui had written on the list.
The results of the investigation showed that Lao Lizheng's children and grandchildren took away most of the family property because of their well-preparedness. Therefore, after the world was peaceful, the family's life was pretty good.
As for Erzhu's family, Huzi's family and Baogen's family, the three families survived the war years with great difficulty, and now they are all struggling.
In particular, the children of several families are now at the age of getting married or getting married, not to mention preparing dowry or bride price for them, they even buy two acres of good land for themselves so that they can live temporarily. less than.
They had no choice but to either go to the county or town to do odd jobs, or go to the mountains to cut firewood or catch prey, or to rent land from the landlords and squires who bought a lot of land at a low price during the war years.
But the money they can earn or the food they can harvest is very limited after all. They are busy all year round, and their income can only be barely enough to keep the family from starving, and no amount of it will be enough.
The relatives of Su Xiaohe and Zheng Fengshou, Ye Jinkui also asked the steward to help investigate.
The results of the investigation showed that the life of the Su family was also very difficult. The family lost more people than the Baogen family, and most of the losses were the women, girls and children of the family.
No one in the village knows what the Su family has experienced before. They only know that they are a big family. There are only four strong young men who came back.
Zheng Fengshou’s aunt and uncle’s family have not returned to their hometown so far, and the surrounding villagers have never seen their family. No one knows whether they have settled in other places or have all died in troubled times.
Thinking of his master's entrustment, Guan first wrote a letter to Ye Jinkui in the capital, and then quietly sent people to the village to report Ye Jinkui's name, and sent Lao Lizheng's children and grandchildren, Erzhu's family, and Huzi's family He and Baogen's family were all invited to the inn where he temporarily stayed in the county seat.
It wasn't that he was negligent on purpose, he didn't want to disturb other people in the village and cause unnecessary trouble to his master.
Before coming here, Ye Jinkui probably told him how the people in the village blocked the door of his house and insisted on borrowing money from them.
The steward thought that Ye Jinkui didn't want to mess with a few big-faced dog skin plasters, and at the same time didn't want to overwhelm others, so that they could only retreat, so he chose to let people quietly invite these people who had helped the Ye family.
Hearing Ye Jinkui's name, these people who used to have a good relationship with the Ye family immediately came into the county together with the young man who had hired someone in the past.
But because there are too many children in the family, except for Baogen and his two sons, none of the other three families really dispatched the whole family.
The servant who went to invite someone had no choice but to invite the men from various families who insisted on not bringing their family members to the county seat to talk.
The team of stewards is huge, in order to arrange for everyone, the steward directly rented a yard in the inn.
Baogen and the others were directly invited into the courtyard by the servants. In the main hall of the courtyard, the steward had already prepared sumptuous but not too far-fetched meals to entertain everyone.
Everyone thought they could see Ye Jinkui, but they looked around in the yard, only to find that none of the people present was the person they were familiar with.
