Zhu Chongba now feels that his future is smooth. Doesn't it seem that doing things is not as difficult as imagined?
In his imagination, it seemed that he could reach the pinnacle of life without much effort.
Suddenly, the clear sky turned cloudy and the wind picked up! not good! Zhu Chongba thought of the cattle that were being raised in the cattle farm. If it rained this time, wouldn't all the feed be ruined?
He didn't bother to look for the housekeeper, and Zhu Chongba immediately rushed back to the cattle farm.
On the way, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the sky became darker and darker. Zhu Chongba wanted to rush back to see how the cows were doing, and what was happening with the two children?
This is the first time he has encountered such a thing. What an unexpected situation!
If the feed goes to waste, it will definitely affect Zhu Chongba. Although this is not his responsibility, the landlord will definitely be angry with him.
Now Zhu Chongba has no way to do anything independently, he still has to rely on the landlord to give him some benefits. This is also something that can't be helped. How can a person not bow his head under the eaves.
Zhu Chongba was speechless for a while whenever he saw his little hands and feet.
Although in ancient times some people became prime minister at the age of twelve, this had nothing to do with Zhu Chongba.
Zhu Chongba attended a private school for a few days, but within a few days he dropped out and returned home because his family had no money. Therefore, the original Zhu Chongba couldn't even write his name. Of course, the current one can definitely write his name, but he can't show it now.
Arriving at the cattle farm soon, Zhu Chongba wanted to scold the landlord Liu Fu for why he built such an open-air cattle farm.
Hurrying slowly, Zhu Chongba finally arrived at the cattle farm. When he arrived, he found that the weather here was still fine. Although there was wind, it was gentle. This was something I didn't expect.
Zhu Chongba was thankful in his heart that these two children were helping him. If anything happened, the landlord would definitely look for him and not others.
"Chongba, we have fed these cows. These cows eat so much that they have finished all the food we brought today." Tang He said.
"Really? This is really great. Come on, let's take these cows to a sheltered place from the wind and rain, and be quick!" Zhu Chongba said.
"Okay." Tang He, another child, and of course Zhu Chongba led all the cattle to a safe place, and transported all the remaining feed to a safe place.
As soon as they finished their work here, the sky changed. It became the same as the sky Zhu Chongba saw there just now.
Zhu Chongba was no longer anxious at this time, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Several children were chattering next to the cow.
"Chongba, it's so dangerous! If we were a little later, things would probably be bad. These cows would probably become drowned cows. The old cows would probably be fine, but the calves would probably get sick. "Tang He said.
"Yes! Some of us will also become drowned rats." Another child said.
In this era, every family has many children, but some of them die before they reach adulthood.
Zhu Chongba's family is a typical example. His uncle and his family had a total of eight men, but later on, only Zhu Chongba and his second brother survived. What a tragedy!
If you want to survive in such an era, you must be able to endure hardship and be in good health. Only in this way can you survive.
Zhu Chongba has a lot of things on his mind right now. There is really nothing he can do!
Now he sees clearly that it is not easy to change his current situation quickly, or it is very difficult.
It turned out that the problem was too simple. Zhu Chongba thought about all the things.
The heavy rain continued for an hour. After the rain stopped, not long after, the landowner Liu Fu sent someone over to check on the condition of his cattle.
When the visitor saw that the cow was fine, he happily went back to report to the landowner.
Zhu Chongba followed the visitor and went to see the landlord.
After the local owner heard what the people he sent said, he was very happy and praised Zhu Chongba greatly.
He was very happy to see the landlord, and then Zhu Chongba struck while the iron was hot, "Master, I want to tell you something!"
"What's going on?" Landlord Liu Fu took a sip of water.
"I want to do bulk trade of grain. Are you interested?" Zhu Chongba said.
Originally, the landlord Liu Fu was very happy, but after hearing this, his expression suddenly changed, "Chongba, you are just a cowherd boy, do your job well, don't think about other things anymore, you It can't be done." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhu Chongba wanted to shout loudly at this moment, "I am the emperor, I am the Hongwu Emperor! Don't look down on others!" But he didn't say anything.
This is really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi! It’s really thirty years! Thirty years later, the Ming Dynasty unified the world.
The landlord's cynicism did not make Zhu Chongba lose confidence, but made him more determined. Difficulties are the best step for Zhu Chongba to move forward.
"How dare you forget the hardships and hardships?" This is what Zhu Yuanzhang said decades later.
His childhood can be said to be cold. He experienced hardships that ordinary people have not experienced, and he has a mind and responsibility that ordinary people do not have.
Once there is an opportunity, Zhu Chongba will seize the opportunity tightly and never let it slip away from his eyes.
If you don't become a master, you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive. If you don't become Zhu Chongba, you won't understand Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Chongba will do things slowly now. Since there will be nothing wrong, let's start playing. This is what he should do at this age.
"Tang He, is there anything interesting around here?" Zhu Chongba asked.
There is a mountain behind here, which is really interesting. Do you want to go and see it?
"That's for sure, let's go!" Zhu Chongba said.
"I want to go too!" said another little boy.
The three of them went to the back mountain together.
Fengyang County was called Haozhou in the Yuan Dynasty, and this mountain was the back mountain of Haozhou. This mountain is about three to four hundred meters above sea level.
Zhu Chongba and his friends often play in the village, but they have never played in the mountains.
Wild boars and wolves were very common in the mountain forests at that time because the ecology was very well protected.
"I'm a little scared. I heard people said there are wild boars on the mountain. I want to go back." Another child said.
"Then let's go! I never asked you to come here in the first place." Tang He said angrily.
"Tang He, have you been to this mountain before?" Zhu Chongba asked.
"Of course I have been here. Master and I went up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs a few days ago." Tang He said.
