Chapter 1269 (1/2)
Two days later, they arrived at a small county under the jurisdiction of mianzhou.
Qi Hao saw smoke rising in the distance and said to Yu Zhi, ”let's go and have a look.” Where there is cooking smoke, there should be someone.
After a while, they saw a village. When they arrived at the village, they were speechless. Most of the houses in the village collapsed.
Lu Bai looked at the place not far away and said: ”shiziye, wait here, I'll go and have a look.” Go to investigate the situation first, and make sure it's safe before it's too late.
Qihao shook his head and said, ”let's go and have a look!” The assassin will not be able to calculate and know that he is staying here. And to assassinate, it's impossible to choose such a place.
Looking at the scene, Qihao was shocked. I saw a child in tattered black, squatting in front of a simple stove made of two stones, on which was an iron can.
The little boy was very nervous to see such a large group of people. He picked up a kitchen knife and pointed it at them: ”what are you going to do?” If he didn't give up the things in the tin, he would run away when he saw a group of people.
”You don't have to be afraid. We're just passing by.” Looking at the skinny child, Lu Bai couldn't help but think of the day when he was cold and hungry. Thinking of this, he took a piece of dried meat out of his sleeve and said, ”this is dried beef. Here you are.”
The little boy didn't pick it up. Instead, he clenched the kitchen knife in his hand and said fiercely, ”don't come here, I will cut you to death.”
Lu Bai sees that the child doesn't answer, points to Qi Hao and says, ”don't be afraid. This is shiziye. He is here to help you.” Open Qihao's identity can not only reassure the people, but also help him accumulate fame.
Hearing this, Yi Kun was helpless. The people in the countryside knew what the prince was, let alone a child.
Yu Zhi looked at the little boy carefully, but didn't speak.
”Don't be afraid. We are just passing by. We want to know about the situation here. We won't rob your food or do anything harmful to you.” After that, Yi Kun took out some silver coins from his arms and said, ”as long as you answer my questions, these silver will be yours.”
The little boy didn't reach for the silver, but looked at Qihao and asked, ”what kind of son do you mean?” Although Qihao didn't wear a royal suit, he was wearing a fine cloth dress, but his spirit was different from others.
Qi Hao was so clever that he said, ”my father is king Yunqing of Ming Dynasty, and I am his son.”
”You are the son of the king and the princess of the Ming Dynasty?” Many ordinary people may not have heard of Yunqing, but they must know about the Ming king. It's like the common people know that there is an emperor, but they don't know the name of the emperor.
Qihao nods.
The little boy's eyes are a little loose, but he still hasn't let go of the kitchen knife in his hand: ”how can you prove that you are the son of Ming Wang and Princess Ming?”
Qi Hao chuckled and said, ”if I want your life, I don't need to tell you so much in one sentence.”
The little boy looked at Yi Kun, Lu Bai and others, and knew that Qi Hao was telling the truth. It was easy for these people to kill him.
Putting down the kitchen knife, the little boy asked, ”what do you want to ask? As long as I know, I'll let you know. ”
Qihao looked at the ruined village and asked, ”are there any other survivors in this village?” It is known that the village is not big only by looking at the collapse of more than 30 houses. But even so, it is impossible for a person in a village to live with only one child.
”Yes.” Before Qihao could ask again, the little boy said, ”all the people who survived have gone to the county.” On the third day of the earth movement, there was a rain, which made the disaster even worse.
Qi Hao asked strangely, ”why don't you go to the county seat?” The county town should be able to open warehouses for grain. It's much better to go to the county town than to the village which has become a ruin here.
”They are bad guys. They sell flowers and want to sell me and my sister,” said the little boy, gnashing his teeth If not, he would not take his sister back to the village. At least he's familiar with it and can find something to eat.
Qi Hao's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he soon recovered as before: ”who wants to sell you and your sister?”
No matter what happened in heaven, the princess was a light and light one. Yi Kun sighs that the prince is more and more like a princess.
The little boy said angrily, ”Er Gouzi. If I didn't run fast with my sister, he would have sold me. ” Even the children who don't know know know that it's not good to be sold.
I don't need to ask. These two dogs are not good people.
Qi Hao sweeps around and doesn't see anyone. He wants to know that his younger sister is definitely hiding: ”Why are you alone? Where's your sister? ”
When the little boy heard this, his eyes were alert.
Qi Hao knew what he was thinking when he looked at the child. He didn't say he was a good man, but he raised his sleeve and pointed to the little leaf red sandalwood bracelet. ”My red sandalwood bracelet is worth hundreds of gold. It's not enough to sell you and your sister to buy a bead.” It's very simple. He won't do such a thankless thing.
Red sandalwood has a theory of exorcism and opening up, while in terms of health preservation, wearing red sandalwood can stabilize emotions and regulate qi and blood. Because of the magical effect of red sandalwood, Qihao also wore this bracelet.
”Are you really the son of Ming Wang?”
Lu Bai couldn't help laughing. Feeling the little boy didn't believe them.
Qi Hao nodded his head and said, ”I came to the disaster relief on the order of my father and his wife. If you don't believe it or force you, we'll go later. ”
