Wang Baoping glanced at Wang Ziyan and Xiaopang who were standing aside, and said sincerely: "When I was young, I saved some money and bought a piece of land at the foot of Heshan Mountain not far away. It was originally fertile land, and the food grown there We are very prosperous, and the whole family has no worries about food and clothing. Unfortunately, wars have occurred frequently in recent years, and the government ordered that every household like me must help the army feed war horses, so the fields have been deserted and turned into a place to feed war horses. Now Nowadays, every household has no extra food, so if you stay, be prepared to go hungry."
Seeing that Qi Feihong was listening carefully, Wang Baoping continued: "If you stay, our family can still guarantee two meals a day."
Qi Feihong asked curiously: "Two meals a day? Isn't it three meals a day? Could it be that now everyone is short of food and can't eat enough?"
Wang Ziyan whispered from the side: "In the past, we had three meals a day when the farming was busy, and two meals a day when the farming was slack. But now there are frequent wars, and the government ordered us to turn in military rations every month, causing us to be short of food. So no matter it is Whether it’s busy farming season or slack farming season, everyone can only eat two meals.”
Qi Feihong suddenly realized, but also felt secretly embarrassed. The food he ate in one meal during the day was probably enough for Wang Baoping and his family for a whole day.
Seeing Qi Feihong's silence, Wang Baoping said, "If you really have no place to go, just stay. We won't let you go hungry if we even out. I'll tell you something when I see the steward of the racecourse tomorrow. He said, let’s see if I can take you with me to raise horses, find an errand, and fill my stomach.”
Just as Qi Feihong was about to say yes, Wang Ziyan whispered: "Father, he doesn't have a road guide or a dental plaque, so I'm afraid he can't go to the racecourse. If someone from the government finds out, I'm afraid there will be a misunderstanding and he will be arrested and interrogated in prison."
Wang Baoping was stunned: "This will be difficult to deal with... Forget it, you stay here first, and when the government comes to do the population census in a few days, I will help you get a dental card as a relative of our family who has fled far away, and then go to the racecourse to find trouble. Do."
Qi Feihong knew very well that the dynasty would change in a few days and there would be no need to go to the racecourse, but he couldn't say it. After all, Wang Baoping's family didn't know what the future would be like. If he told it, he would probably make Wang Baoping angry. The family was terrified. Unpredictability will only scare the Wang family.
Qi Feihong thanked Wang Baoping again for his life-saving grace and started chatting with Wang Baoping. There was no electricity in the Ming Dynasty, let alone TVs and mobile phones. There was nothing to do at night except chatting. Qi Feihong happened to want to know more about the current situation, so he chatted endlessly with Wang Baoping.
Wang Ziyan and Xiaopang listened at first. Later, Xiaopang became sleepy. Wang Ziyan took Xiaopang to bed and left together. Qi Feihong and Wang Baoping were left chatting for half the night. In the end, they had nothing to say, so Qi Feihong was about to get up and say goodbye, going back to his room to rest.
At this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps on the roof. Qi Feihong was immediately startled and was about to sound a warning when he suddenly remembered that Wang Baoping couldn't hear such a small sound. He immediately sat still and didn't move, let alone make a sound.
Then Qi Feihong heard someone jumping into the yard, and quickly rushed into the room where Qi Feihong and Wang Baoping were.
Qi Feihong was immediately prepared to deal with any changes. He made an instant decision that no matter who came, he would fight to the death to save the lives of Wang Baoping and his family.
The man who rushed in took action without saying a word, punching Qi Feihong on the temple who was closer to the door. This person's attack was very fast, but not very powerful. It seemed that he intended to knock Qi Feihong unconscious and did not kill him.
Qi Feihong saw it clearly and took action decisively, punching the incoming man on the temple as well. Qi Feihong struck out very quickly, and the person who came was obviously taken aback. He quickly retreated and flew up, kicking Qi Feihong in the chest. This person can change his moves very quickly and his skills are not weak. I just don’t know where he came from and what he did.
Although Qi Feihong's strength was low among immortal cultivators, he was not at a disadvantage when facing this uninvited guest. He ducked and stepped back a foot, just enough to avoid the intruder's kick.
The visitor was even more surprised. He stopped attacking and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
Qi Feihong said: "I am a relative of this family, who are you, and why do you come here late at night with the intention of committing murder and hurting others? Aren't you afraid of the king's law when you break into a private house without permission?"
The visitor said: "I am Ge Zhong, an outer disciple of the Heshan Sect, and I have no ill intentions in coming here. People in the government are chasing me, so I have to come here to escape. In order not to injure this family, I have no choice but to take action. I just want to knock them out." To prevent the government from pursuing the crime of harboring, it is definitely not to kill someone.”
"Heshan Sect?" Qi Feihong asked curiously: "What sect is that? A martial arts sect?"
Ge Zhong said: "You are not from Qijia Village? Why don't you even know about Heshan Gate?"
Wang Baoping, who was originally stunned, said behind Qi Feihong: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Please sit down, both of you, and be sure not to accidentally injure one of your own."
Qi Feihong looked back at Wang Baoping. Seeing that the tension on Wang Baoping's face gradually subsided, he knew that Ge Zhong was not a bad person, so he turned back and said, "Since he is not a bad person, please sit down."
Ge Zhong walked to Qi Feihong and sat down, clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency is very skilled. If the fight continues, I will definitely not be your opponent. I haven't asked you your name yet."
Qi Feihong said: "I am Qi Feihong, uncle Wang's cousin. I just arrived at Uncle Wang's house today. I didn't know your identity just now, so I thought it was a bad guy who broke into the house late at night to commit murder. I acted recklessly and offended many people."
Ge Zhong smiled and said: "We don't know each other without fighting, so there is no need to apologize. Brother Qi, let's be honest, what our Heshan Sect does is robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and we are mortal enemies of the government. Tonight I was ordered to go to Mr. Du's mansion to borrow some Yinliang came out to help the people nearby, but I don't know who leaked the news, and people from the government ambushed Mr. Du's mansion in advance. As soon as I showed up, they immediately surrounded me... If I hadn't been very agile, I'm afraid I would have been completely confessed by now. "
Qi Feihong smiled: "Brother Ge is very good at martial arts, and I admire his light-body skills. People in the government are definitely no match for Brother Ge."
Ge Zhong smiled and said: "A good man cannot stand against a large number of people. I am no match for the dozens of people in the government. No, I have to run away and go back to see our sect leader empty-handed."
Qi Feihong said: "Master Du is the bully in this area?"
Ge Zhong nodded vigorously: "It turns out that Brother Qi knows Master Du... He is a bully. Everyone in our place hates him and wants to kill him. It's a pity that his two sons are in the army and are stationed twenty miles away. Guojia Town has more than a thousand officers and soldiers, and none of us can be their opponent."
Qi Feihong smiled: "It makes sense to me now. Brother Ge returned from this trip empty-handed. I believe that your sect leader will find a way to borrow money from Master Du in the future. If you can be of use to me, please don't be polite."
Wang Baoping said from the side: "Don't talk nonsense. If you offend Mr. Du, not only will our family be in peace, but all the people in Qijia Village will be implicated. When the officers and soldiers arrive, everyone will be arrested. This crime is huge." Big.”
Ge Zhong also said: "Brother Qi, you are not from our Heshan sect. You have all the people of Qijia Village behind you to take care of, so you can't wade into this muddy water. Brother Qi, don't worry, sooner or later we will deal with him and occupy him all these years." Everyone’s money and food will be returned to everyone. I, the Heshan Sect, are obliged to do this. After I go back and discuss it with the sect leader, I will make arrangements and come back to get what belongs to us."
Qi Feihong asked: "Is Heshan Gate just over there in Heshan? Do you often rob the rich and give to the poor like this? How many of you are there?" He was very interested in Heshan Gate and asked endless questions.
Ge Zhong was also cheerful and had no intention of hiding anything: "Below the sect leader, there are three hundred brothers. However, most of the sect members are ordinary farmers who had their homes destroyed by the war and had no food or clothing. They had no choice but to join the Heshan sect and have little fighting ability. There are only a dozen or so of the real disciples of the Heshan Sect, including me. Only a dozen of us can do things like robbing the rich and giving to the poor. The others can only do trivial things like washing and cooking. They have no ability to fight against the government. .”
Qi Feihong smiled and said: "What can a dozen of us do? Even if you are very strong, you have no chance of winning against thousands of officers and soldiers."
Ge Zhong said sternly: "Brother Qi doesn't know something. Our sect leader is not an ordinary person. He can fly over the walls, call for wind and rain, and sow beans into soldiers. He is a god-like existence. Not to mention a thousand officers and soldiers, even ten thousand are not us." The opponent of the sect master.”
