Chapter 1 Tengjiazhuang
Ps: Something happened today, I have only been updated until now. Sorry, yes, the two chapters are updated together today.
The world is divided into nine provinces, among which Yangzhou is the most prosperous and rich.
In Yangzhou, Jiangning County, Yicheng.
There is a big mountain in Yicheng called Dayan Mountain, and there is a village called Tengjiazhuang at the foot of Dayan Mountain. Every household in the whole village is close to it, like a whole. On the outskirts of Tengjiazhuang, there is a large area of nine-foot-high wooden fence.
With this wooden fence, the wolves on the mountain cannot easily enter the village to eat people.
In Tengjiazhuang, there were more than a dozen people gathered in the yard of one of the families. One of the strong men in his short shirts, who were nearly thirty, was wandering anxiously outside the door of the house.
"Yongfan, don't sway around there." A serious voice sounded, and the old man with gray hair but a tiger's back and waist was heard.
"Master, I..." The strong man in short shirt didn't know what to say.
He couldn't help but be nervous. His wife was giving birth to a child inside. Women's first child is generally more dangerous. The dysfunction caused the woman to die. It was not without Tengjiazhuang. He had been married for nearly eight years before his wife became pregnant, and he also valued the child very much. At this time, of course, he was panicked.
"Brother Fan, have you figured out your child's name?" A thin man next to him smiled and changed the topic.
"My child is from the 'Qing' generation, and I have thought of the name, the boy is called 'Qingshan' and the girl is called 'Qingyu'." This short-dressed man, Teng Yongfan, rarely smiled.
Just finished speaking—
A loud baby cry came from the house.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the door of the house at the same time, and with a squeak, a woman ran out with a baby in her arms. Her face was full of surprise smile and she shouted loudly: "Yongfan, it's a boy, it's a boy."
"Where is Alan?" the strong old man was the first to shout.
"Class leader, Alan is fine, and both mother and son are safe." The woman smiled happily.
At this time, Teng Yongfan had already taken the baby from the midwife, and looked carefully, with a smile on his face: "Haha, it's a son, haha, I, Teng Yongfan, finally have a son..." At this moment, the strong old man next to him took the baby from his arms.
"Master, you have a good eye for the child. I'll go and see Alan." Teng Yongfan immediately rushed into the house.
But the strong old man looked at the baby in his arms with a smile.
"This little guy cried loudly just now, yes, not bad." The strong old man's face was full of smiles.
"Master, this little guy is staring at you." A group of people next to him looked at him with a smile.
"Look, these black little eyes stared at me without blinking, haha..." The strong old man laughed loudly, then reached out to touch the baby's little nose, "My good grandson, Xiao Qingshan, come on, call me grandpa!" As he said that, the old man couldn't help laughing.
After all, how can a child speak when he is just born?
...
There was a lot of laughter around, but Teng Qingshan's mind was very messy.
"What's going on? Am I dead?"
Teng Qingshan clearly remembered that after Mingyue Lake and the Kingdom of God organized two giants, "Shiva" and "Vishnu", and killed Shenyangming, he died.
When I regained my consciousness again, I was already in the womb and was born not long after.
"This old man is my grandfather? My mother's father?" Teng Qingshan carefully observed the old man in front of him. "I can understand the language of the people around him, and it is also Chinese. Look at his clothes, the clothes and styles of the people around him... obviously not modern society. This is ancient! Why am I, how did I come to ancient times?"
Even if Teng Qingshan was trained by the killer, no matter how firm his mind was, he was completely shocked at this moment.
But at this moment, Teng Qingshan felt tired and sleepy: "The baby's head has not matured yet, and I've been tired after thinking for a while."
Teng Qingshan closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
*******
Teng Qingshan came to the first winter of this world.
The heavy snow like goose feathers drifted freely, and the whole world seemed to be wearing silver clothes.
"Qingshan, is it beautiful to snow?" The kind-faced woman "Yuan Lan" held her son "Teng Qingshan" and enjoyed the snow scene.
"Yes!" Teng Qingshan's little face was red.
Less than a year after he was born, his vocal cords had not yet developed, and the child could only babble. However, Teng Qingshan often nodded and said "um" and "um" sounds, but he could also pronounce "um" and "um".
"It's almost noon, your father is not back yet." Yuan Lan said.
"Hi, sister-in-law." At this time, a sound came from outside the yard gate. The door was pushed open. A young man in a straw raincoat walked in with a big hare and smiled. "The hunting team up the mountain is back. This hare belongs to your family. Well, put it away, I'll go back first."
He said that, put the hare next to the threshold.
"Thank you." Yuan Lan said with a smile.
"It's okay." The man walked out.
After all, Teng Qingshan has the wisdom of an adult. In just a few months, he has already understood Tengjiazhuang. Tengjiazhuang is self-sufficient and often has teams to go up the mountain to hunt. The prey he gets will be allocated according to the contributions of each family in the village. For example, Teng Qingshan's father, "Teng Yongfan", was the first blacksmith in Tengjiazhuang.
The weapons created are very popular in Yicheng, and naturally, they have a high status in Tengjiazhuang.
suddenly--
The earthquake trembled as if it had been an earthquake.
"The robbers are here to collect 'New Year's money'." Yuan Lan's face changed, and she immediately tied Teng Qingshan to her back, then picked up a red tassel spear from her house and ran out.
In the entire Tengjiazhuang, both strong men, old men and women, they all rushed out with long spears and bows and arrows.
"Robber?" Teng Qingshan was shocked.
"Qingshan, don't be afraid, it's okay." Yuan Lan also comforted her son on her back while running.
Soon, Yuan Lan arrived at the largest martial arts training ground in Tengjiazhuang. The martial arts training ground was 200 meters long and wide. At this time, thousands of people had gathered in the martial arts training ground, including men, women, young and old. Almost everyone was holding a red tassel spear, and many people were holding strong bows.
"Alan." A strong man wearing fur and naked chest also came with a spear. The person who came was Teng Qingshan's father, "Teng Yongfan".
"Brother Fan." Yuan Lan immediately approached the past.
Teng Qingshan looked at it and found that in this cold winter, his father was only wearing fur, his thick arms and strong chest muscles were exposed. He was obviously a very strong man. It was impossible to become an excellent blacksmith without enough arm strength.
"Son, don't be afraid." Teng Yongfan touched Teng Qingshan in doting.
"You are here, don't run around." Teng Yongfan asked and rushed to the front immediately.
The heroes of Tengjiazhuang were all standing at the front of the martial arts training ground, while women, children, young and old all held weapons behind them.
"Hi, the little boys from Tengjiazhuang!" A loud shout came from outside the fence.
Teng Qingshan saw the crowd outside the fence through the gaps of the crowd. The group of people were all riding tall horses. The man in the lead had black hair on his naked chest, and there was a deep knife mark on his face. He shouted loudly, "I've paid the New Year's money, the old rules, one person and half taels of silver!"
"That man was wearing only single clothes in the cold winter, and he was definitely a master." Teng Qingshan made a judgment at a glance, "The number of these robbers is hard to see clearly, but there are hundreds of them."
"But hundreds of heroes in Tengjiazhuang are definitely not that easy to bully." Teng Qingshan could also see that each of the men in Tengjiazhuang has been undergoing years of training. Standing there, they are like a beast. Although the robbers outside are cruel and there are many, it is difficult to win.
At this time—
The crowds in Tengjiazhuang split up, and a strong old man with gray hair walked over.
"Grandpa." Teng Qingshan could tell at a glance.
Teng Qingshan's grandfather, named "Teng Yunlong", was the patriarch of the entire Tengjiazhuang and had absolute prestige in Tengjiazhuang. Teng Qingshan's mother "Yuan Lan" was the adopted daughter adopted by Teng Yunlong.
"Haha, this time it's the third leader, you come in person." The patriarch Teng Yunlong laughed loudly, "We also know the rules. One person and half taels of silver, our Tengjiazhuang has a population of 500 households and two thousand people, and one thousand taels of silver. What I'm right?"
"Haha, Old Man Teng, you're right, one thousand taels of silver!" The scarred man laughed.
Of course, the population of Tengjiazhuang will not be accurate to two thousand people. But it will be fine. The robber leader will not care about this.
"Open the door." Teng Yunlong shouted.
"Gaga~~~" The high gate of Tengjiazhuang was opened with a bang. At the same time, the men of the two tribes came directly to the gate, put it down, and smashed it on the snow.
"The three leaders have a few bites, each of which is five hundred taels of silver in each box." Teng Yunlong shouted.
"Go to diald." The scar man immediately ordered his men.
Immediately, two subordinates jumped off the horse and ran over to open the box. Only part of the box was silver, and the others were strings of copper coins, each string of 100 coins. The two robbers and bandits obviously often did this and were very skilled. In just a moment, they nodded completely and turned around and nodded to the scar man.
"Old man Teng, you guys go back to have a meal, haha, kids, let's go!"
Hundreds of robbers rode away on horseback.
...
On the martial arts training ground in Tengjiazhuang, the tribesmen began to disperse one by one.
"Son, let's go back for dinner." Teng Yongfan smiled and picked up Teng Qingshan with one hand. Teng Qingshan was still thinking in his heart: "The robbers actually have hundreds of horses, and each horse is not low. If you can buy so many horses, it seems that they are also a very strong robber gang."
According to the scene just now, Teng Qingshan also understood in his heart: "Pay the New Year's money? Since it is 'New Year', it should be paid every year. This gang can make Tengjiazhuang pay protection fees every year, and the hundreds of people dispatched should not be all the people."
"It turned out that the White Horse Gang came to collect New Year's money. I thought it was another robber." The voices of other men in the clan talked about it came next to me.
"Other gangs are seeking death when they come to provoke our Tengjiazhuang." The men are all full of blood.
But obviously, there is nothing we can do about the White Horse Help them.
"How strong is this white horse gang?" Teng Qingshan thought.
