Seeing the panic on his grandson's face, Zhang Bo suddenly turned down his face and said angrily: "This is not the first time the Qian family has come here. Why are you panicking?"
Although this small mountain village is very remote, the Qian family branch in the town has not forgotten to collect the taxes here. Because the farmland in the village is scarce, they often use the furs of wild beasts to pay taxes.
Because the mountain road is difficult to walk, people who come to collect taxes only come once a year. Sometimes they don't even come. They simply ask people from the village to the town to bring the furs that should be paid.
Uncle Zhang and his grandson live here in seclusion. He just adopted the mentality of the Qian family. The Qian family would never have thought that Uncle Zhang, who had forced his way into the Qian family's important territory more than ten years ago, was actually living under their noses. .
"Grandpa, no, there are a lot of people here this time, more than ten men and women." Zhang Hu took a breath and said, "In the past, there were only one or two people here at most, but this time it's different"
"Huh? There are more than ten people here?" After hearing his grandson's words, Uncle Zhang's expression became solemn.
In the past, when the Qian family came to collect tanned animal skins, at most three or five people came, including two porters, but there had never been so many people.
"Could it be that you really came for me?"
Uncle Zhang was confused and confused. Not long ago, he tried to snatch some iron tools that appeared for no apparent reason not far from the town, and was severely injured by the masters of the Zhang family. Could it be that they found this place by following the clues?
"What kind of people are they?" Uncle Zhang had also seen a lot of strong winds and waves. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
¡°There were seven or eight young people, and two or three porters, who picked a lot of things.¡±
Zhang Hu thought for a moment and then said: "There are three other people in their forties. Their kung fu is very powerful. One person glanced at me and I almost sat on the ground in fright"
"What? I looked at you and you became distracted?"
Uncle Zhang¡¯s face became more and more gloomy. No matter what, Zhang Hu still had Ming Jin¡¯s cultivation, plus he was young and energetic. You won't convince people easily.
Only those who have reached the late stage of Anjin or the master of Huajin can be able to intimidate Zhang Hu's mind with his gaze. With Uncle Zhang's injured body at this time, he is definitely no match for such a person.
"Where are they now?"
Uncle Zhang¡¯s eyes were looking at the mountains in the distance, and he had already begun to give in. If the other party was really coming for him, he would have no choice but to hide in the mountains with his grandchildren.
Fortunately, after taking the traditional Chinese medicine yesterday, Uncle Zhang's injuries were relieved a lot, even if he encountered some ferocious beasts in the mountains. He can also deal with one or two.
Zhang Hu said: "At Uncle Yao's house, Uncle Yao was also called. I didn't dare to stay longer, so I ran back."
There are only about twenty households in this small village, but ten of them are all named Yao. The uncle Zhang Hu mentioned is the brother of Yao Er just now, and he is also the village chief of this small village.
"Seven or eight young people went to Yao Family again?"
After hearing what grandson said. Uncle Zhang's brows suddenly widened, he waved his hand and said, "Big boy, don't worry, you probably didn't come for me, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Yao's house first"
The Zhang family has been in ruins for a long time. Uncle Zhang has been working in the Qian family since his grandfather's generation, and he knows the Qian family's style of business very well.
If the Zhang family really came to capture him on this trip. He will never make such a big show, but will quietly come to the door and surround his home, making sure not to let anyone go.
"Then what are they doing here?" Zhang Hu touched his head and said, "Grandpa, do you want to wake up Erniu? Let's go hide in the mountains?"
"No."
Uncle Zhang shook his head and said: "Not many people in the Zhang family know me. If I hide out now, it turns out that there is no three hundred taels of silver here. The flat end makes people suspicious, so we should wait and see"
Being able to become one of the five major clans in this space, the Qian family has been spreading for thousands of years. There are hundreds of thousands of people with the Qian surname alone, and they govern an area of ??more than a thousand kilometers around the Three Realms Mountains.
"But what Uncle Zhang broke into was the ancestral home of the Qian family. Not many people really knew him. Even if Uncle Zhang appeared in front of those people, they might not know who he was.
"Grandpa, I'd better wake Erniu up first!" Zhang Hu said: "If the momentum goes wrong, we will go into the mountains immediately. As long as we reach the mountains, we are not afraid of them."
Growing up at the foot of the Three Realms Mountains, Zhang Hu is very familiar with the surrounding areas of the Three Realms Mountains.He knew it so well that if he hid in any cave in the mountain, outsiders would have no chance of finding him.
"Well, that's good too."
Uncle Zhang nodded. After Zhang Hu entered the room, he turned to Qin Feng and said, "You have also seen that if Huzi and the others stay here, they will have to hide here and there for the rest of their lives. If possible, I still hope that they will Go out with you"
Uncle Zhang turned against the Qian family back then. The Qian family would never let go of such a "traitor". Even if Uncle Zhang dies, the heirs he left behind will be hunted endlessly.
"I will try my best!" Qin Feng agreed with a wry smile. He didn't know how to get out of this space now. No matter how much he said, it was useless.
"Grandpa, why don't you let Niuniu sleep a little longer?"
While they were talking, Erniu walked out of the wooden house, rubbing her eyes, still holding the struggling little wolf cub tightly in her arms.
Although Erniu has also practiced the breathing and breathing exercises passed down from her family, Erniu is still a girl and does not exercise her body every day like her brother. She slept a little late last night and is a little out of sorts today.
"Second girl, wash your face, we are ready to go into the mountains." Uncle Zhang looked at his granddaughter with a look of love. He had raised two children for more than ten years, and his feelings were not ordinary.
"You still want to go into the mountains?"
Hearing what grandpa said, the girl sobered up a little and said, "Did the medicine my brother and I picked yesterday work? Grandpa, are you feeling well?"
"I'm more than half healed. This time I went into the mountains to find some more herbs."
Uncle Zhang smiled and nodded. He hid many things from his granddaughter, and the girl has always grown up happily and is particularly kind-hearted.
"Okay, I must pick more medicine this time to cure grandpa's disease." The girl shouted happily, but then she let out an ouch and was bitten by the little wolf cub in her arms.
Just when the girl screamed in pain, the little wolf cub jumped out of her arms and came to Qin Feng's feet, trying to climb up his trouser legs.
"You heartless little thing, it's a shame that I asked Aunt Liu for goat's milk to feed you." Seeing the little wolf cub acting like this, the girl seemed to have been wronged a lot, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.
"This little guy, does he really think of me as his parent?"
Qin Feng helplessly picked up the little wolf cub, regardless of whether it understood or not, and said seriously: "You have to listen to Sister Erniu, or I won't want you in the future"
"Woooo" The little wolf cub stretched out his tongue to lick Qin Feng's face, making a whining sound from his mouth. He looked very affectionate with Qin Feng.
"I don't have anything to feed you." Qin Feng looked at Erniu and said, "Xiaoxue, take it to drink some goat's milk. It will get familiar with you after feeding it too much."
Qin Feng knew that Er Niu¡¯s nickname was Zhang Xue. A girl of twelve or thirteen years old was considered a big girl here. He couldn¡¯t call Er Niu by her nickname like Zhang Hu.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Qin." Erniu wasn't angry with the little wolf cub at first, so she took the little guy over with a smile on her face.
"Er Niu, from now on, you will be called Uncle He in front of outsiders" The old man corrected his granddaughter's name for Qin Feng. This was because there were not many people living in the Qian family's territory.
"Oh, I know!" Zhang Xue smiled sweetly, turned around and entered the house with the little wolf cub in his arms. He drank some leftover goat's milk yesterday, which should be enough for the little guy to eat.
"Uncle Zhang, how about I go to Brother Yao's place to have a look?"
Seeing the worried look on the old man's face, Qin Feng said: "The Zhang family doesn't know me anyway. Let me find out why they are here."
Qin Feng has enough confidence to ensure that the Zhang family does not recognize him, because he does not belong to this space in the first place. Apart from his surname Qin, he has no relationship with the five major clans here.
"No, I'm afraid Yao Er will spill the beans."
Uncle Zhang grabbed Qin Feng, shook his head and said: "The household system implemented here is the Song Dynasty. All adults have local records and need guidance when going out. If you don't have anything, those people will take you directly." Caught"
The household registration system is not a patent of the outside world. Since the Qin Dynasty, China has always had a household registration system, which has been gradually improved with each generation.
In the Song Dynasty, commerce was highly developed and trade exchanges were frequent. The rulers made the household registration system more stringent for management needs. Although they deliberately intended to move freely, they required a certificate issued by the local superintendent.
Qin Feng came here naked. He is now a gangster. In addition, Yao Er is not very clear about the situation. I am afraid that flaws will be revealed in a few words.
"Lu Yin? Is it so troublesome to go out here?" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. I bet there is an ID card here.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm here!" When Uncle Zhang was waiting to explain to Qin Feng, Yao Er's voice came from outside the wall.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Uncle Zhang and Qin Feng looked at each other. Since Yao Er is here, there is no need for them to inquire about any more information.
"Uncle Zhang, someone from the Qian family is here, and they say they want to go into the mountains. I have to accompany them. I'll leave the wild boar and wine here first."
After Yao Er entered the yard, he put the jar of wine in his arms on the ground and said to Qin Feng: "Brother He, I'm really sorry. I'll have a good drink with you when I come out of the mountain." pause¡¡"
People in the mountains are relatively simple, and guests from the Zhang family cannot accompany them. However, Yao Er, who came to deliver wine, felt as if he owed Qin Feng, with a guilty look on his face¡ª¡ª
