Unfilial Sons in Ancient Times (8)

Chapter 49

Ji Changze did not choose to ride in a carriage, but chose to ride a horse with the guards.

This is not to say that he would rather ride a horse to bask in the sun, but this road is too bumpy.

When people sit in a carriage, it is like being locked in a cage with someone outside shaking up and down. Not to mention drinking tea and reading in it, even sleeping can shake you down.

This is not to say that the driver's driving skills are not good. After all, being able to drive successfully on such a road is considered to be quite good.

After just one day in the carriage, Ji Changze gave up and chose to ride a horse with the guards.

He would rather ride a horse with a sore thigh than be bumped around again.

As a miracle doctor, he is very used to such road conditions.

With his apprentice by his side, he does not have to worry about anything else. He prescribed himself a drug that can make people sleep. When he was traveling during the day, he slept in the carriage with peace of mind. At night, he came out again after having enough sleep during the day.

That is to say, he is a miracle doctor, he can handle all kinds of time well, plus he has prescribed medicine, so he didn't break his body by sleeping day and night.

Although Ji Changze was riding a horse, he was still thinking about whether the road should be repaired.

It's not that the bumpy road is annoying.

If you want to be rich, build roads first. If the road is smooth, people will travel faster than before, and the economy will naturally improve.

During the rest time at night, when the guards were setting up tents, Ji Changze lit a candle in the carriage and wrote down the cement recipe.

Even if the road cannot be repaired for the time being, after one or two years, he is sure that he has the status of being able to repair the road.

"Sir."

A guard bowed outside, and Ji Changze wrote furiously without raising his head: "Speak."

"I met the spy who was sent out before, and we have kept him."

Ji Changze looked up.

This road is not the route of the army, so it can only be the spy sent by the military advisor to Huxian to investigate his identity.

Before setting out, the military advisor told him this matter very calmly.

After all, he sent people out to investigate Ji Changze's background. Since the two of them now trust each other, it doesn't matter what the spy found.

He told Ji Changze because they had the same route and the journey to Hu County was long. The spy had not returned yet. If Ji Changze and his men ran into him, they could directly learn the latest situation in Hu County from the spy.

He knew that Ji Changze would not be angry. After all, they were both smart people. The military advisor knew very well that even if their positions were reversed, Ji Changze would definitely investigate him.

"Bring the man here, I'll ask him."

"Yes."

The spy was brought over quickly. Ji Changze took out a letter from the box and waited for him to come in and salute cautiously before handing the letter over.

"The military advisor wrote it to you."

The spy took the letter, read it up and down, and then checked it again before kneeling down to tell Ji Changze about the situation in Hu County.

It was just as Ji Changze expected.

Since the original owner left, the Ji family's life has become more and more difficult. After all, he left and took away all the money in the family. After he left, there was no news.

The villagers said that Ji Qing would definitely not come back, and no one was willing to lend them money.

Help in emergencies, not in poverty.

Now the two old people in the Ji family are sick and can't make money, and the five children are still young.

They can't pay back the money they lend to them.

Now the family's livelihood depends on the second and third brothers.

The remaining brother and two sisters took the job of washing clothes. Although the three of them are young and young, they are not afraid of hardship and have some income. At least they can earn enough money to keep them from starving.

The second brother is less than eight years old now. Even in the ancient rural areas today, he can still be called a child, but he has gone to the town to be a porter.

It is also in the turbulent times now that he begged hard, otherwise he would not be accepted as a child.

In addition to being a porter, he would go up the mountain to collect herbs for his parents to save money. If he encountered herbs that his family could not use, he would send them to the medicine shop to sell for money.

The third brother was less than seven years old, but he seemed to have a talent for hunting. He could occasionally catch some prey and send them to the town to sell for money.

This family was indeed supported by five children.

Even though he had known it for a long time, when he really saw them supporting this family at such a young age, Ji Changze frowned fiercely.

He asked: "Don't I still have fields at home? I rented it to my second uncle's family before, and it was agreed that rations would be given every month. Why is it not stated in it?"

The spy did not even dare to raise his head, and said carefully: "When I went to investigate, I only heard that the second uncle's family refused to give rations. Your second brother went to argue, but was driven out, and never came to ask for it again."

You can't be careless.

If it were him, he would be angry if he knew that his relatives were bullied like this when he was away.

He just didn't get along with this adult before, and he didn't know if he would vent his anger.

Ji Changze was indeed angry.

He clenched the brush in his hand and laughed in anger.

The original owner's memory was a little vague, and he didn't care about his family, so Ji Changze could only read some vague things from his memory.

He remembered that the fields were planted by the second uncle.

Who was the second uncle? For the original owner who had been hanging around in the county town and rarely returned to the village, it was a little unclear.

Ji Changze searched in his memory and finally found this person.

The original owner's grandparents had a lot of children, which was very common. At that time, there were no contraceptive measures, so it was normal to have a lot of children.

But they could afford to give birth, but they could not raise them. After giving birth to a lot of children, only two sons and a daughter survived.

That is, the original owner's father and the second uncle.

After that, the aunt married to the next village, and the second uncle and the original owner's father settled down there. In the original owner's memory, he looked down on the second uncle and thought he was vulgar.

Ji Changze didn't take this seriously before, after all, the original owner thought everyone was vulgar.

Unexpectedly, this second uncle would actually do something like adding insult to injury when his brothers and family were in the most difficult time.

He directly ordered to speed up the journey.

One horse after another, plus a carriage, moved quickly on the bumpy road.

This time, Ji Changze sat in the carriage and wrote and drew next to the sleeping master.

During this period, the rebels should have taken the girl to the northwest, but no one could guess which route they took, how many waves they were divided into, and which wave the girl followed. The original owner had no idea. Ji Changze had not dared to chase them before, because he was afraid of a butterfly effect, and the girl who could have survived would die on the road.

But now that a second uncle who was not very clear in the original owner's memory has appeared, it is hard to say whether the girl will suffer any more hardships.

After all, the original owner did not care about her, so he naturally would not check what hardships she had suffered.

All he knew was that she was sold to someone as a slave, gave birth to a son, and became a wet nurse for someone else's young master.

The rest was not very clear.

Ji Changze first wrote down that he would send the pursuers to catch up with the rebels as fast as possible, and then crossed it out.

No, the rebels were cunning and were divided into several waves. If the pursuers were noticed, they would probably sha're:n directly to speed up the journey, and then escape for their own lives.

They would not be so kind as to leave everyone alive.

Then the second way was to send someone to go ahead and intercept them at the gate of the mansion.

Ji Changze frowned, thought for a while, and crossed it out again.

No, there are still variables.

If there is a little clue, the other party may make other decisions.

It can only be done after the girl arrives at that man's house and settles down.

He wrote down the time one by one.

The army intends to wipe out the rebels entrenched there in one go. Because there are so many people, plus they have to train, and they have to rest at night, etc., it will take half a year to fight all the way there.

The rebels should be faster, at most they can arrive in two months.

Once they get there, they will sell people.

He will not move at this time, so as to avoid any butterfly effect, which will make the army move forward at a normal speed...

The doctor was drowsy and was awakened by the shaking.

"Huh?" He yawned, sat up and looked out the window: "What's going on? Are you still rushing after dark?"

Ji Changze still sat steadily in the bumpy car.

"Master, can you sleep a little longer? There is something urgent at home, so I asked them to speed up their journey."

The genius doctor yawned again: "Forget it, forget it, I have slept enough, just take a nap."

After he lay down, he calculated in his mind whether xx medicine could be used to cure xx poison, or xxx medicine, yes, xxx medicine can also be used to poison.

As he thought about it, he found that his disciple was frowning and didn't know what he was thinking. He wrote down words quickly while thinking.

He even drew a picture of the mountains.

Don't say it, the picture is quite real.

After more than an hour, Ji Changze, who had used up countless sheets of paper, stopped writing and looked at the sheets of paper in front of him with satisfaction.

The genius doctor was about to ask his disciple what he wrote, when he saw Ji Changze open the window, take out the fire stick, burn the papers one by one until only a corner was left and let it blow away with the wind.

"Disciple, what did you write? You wrote it with great difficulty, why don't you want to throw it away?"

Ji Changze burned the papers one by one, and replied: "I was just thinking about how to achieve my goal as quickly as possible."

"You figured it out?"

Ji Changze nodded: "I figured it out."

The genius doctor asked curiously: "Since you figured it out, why did you throw it away?"

"It doesn't matter, I have already remembered it."

He began to grind ink and write a letter to the military advisor.

According to the previous estimate, the rebels can be defeated in five months at the fastest, and the eldest and second princes can also kill each other. If luck is good, the third prince can also rebel.

As for the old emperor...

Ji Changze drew a long-lived turtle and drew a circle on its head.

Let it go.

If he doesn't mind, he can be the emperor for a while.

Of course, even if he minds, it's useless.

Ji Changze started writing and drawing again, leaving only the genius doctor looking at his disciple with admiration.

Oh my.

Although I don't know what he is writing, I can tell at a glance that what he writes must be very good.

He is really lucky, how could he pick up such a good apprentice.

When the group accelerated their journey, in Hu County, Ji Erdi had just finished a day of hard work, received his wages, and rushed to close the shop to buy rice and grain, carrying it all the way home.

He was only seven years old, and because he had not eaten enough for a long time, he looked thin and small, but he was very strong. I don't know if it was because he was a porter.

From the county to Hu County, it would take half an hour to hire a donkey cart, but it would take a long time to walk by yourself.

Ji's second brother didn't hire a car. Although hiring a car only cost a few coppers, he couldn't afford these few coppers.

Even an adult would be tired after carrying rice on his back for such a long time, let alone a child like Ji Erdi.

But there was no way, he had to keep walking.

Otherwise, when it gets late at night and wild beasts come out, he is just a child, and those wild beasts are not afraid of him.

Moreover, there was no rice at home this morning. His parents, brothers and sisters must have been hungry for another day. If he went back early, they would be able to eat early.

The second brother Ji took a short rest, touched a wowotou hidden in his arms, gritted his teeth and continued walking forward carrying rice grains on his back.

Every porter had this steamed bun, and there was also a bowl of clear porridge. After Ji's second brother drank the porridge, he couldn't bear to eat this steamed bun.

Sixth sister is young. She was crying early this morning and cried softly when she was hungry. No matter how she was coaxed, it didn't work. When Ji Erdi went out in the morning, he could still see the little girl squatting at the door of the house and grabbing crickets on the grass. Put it in your mouth.

He gave this to her, it should make her happy.

I don't know how long they walked, but it wasn't until there was the sound of wolves howling around that Brother Ji walked to the door of his house with difficulty.

At the door, a boy who was quite young but a head taller than him was waiting outside with an anxious look on his face.

When she saw him, her face lit up with joy and she hurriedly greeted him: "Second brother, are you back?"

He skillfully took the rice bag from the second brother Ji's back, put it on his shoulders, pushed the door open with his body, and went in with the second brother Ji.

"Are you exhausted? It's such a cold day and you're sweating so much. I told you I'd pick you up, but you still didn't let me."

Brother Ji shook his head. After unloading the rice grains he was carrying, he felt a lot more relaxed. While squeezing his sore shoulders, he said, "There are many wolves outside. What should you do if a wolf takes me away when you go to pick me up?"

"If we really meet a wolf, second brother, you will also be carried away. I will pick you up. We are the two of us."

"no."

Brother Ji is young, but he speaks very steadily: "If we really encounter a wolf, it would be better for me to be carried away alone than for us to be together."

Seeing that his third brother was still unconvinced, he asked:

"What will happen to our parents and brothers and sisters if we are all gone?"

As soon as these words came out, Ji Sandi fell silent.

"Second brother, second brother, you are back."

The people in the house heard the noise, and soon a skinny little girl who looked only three or four years old ran out. She was wearing straw sandals on her feet, and she was wearing thin clothes. Her face was frozen from the plateau. Red, one eye looks big because she is too thin.

He was looking at the second brother Ji with longing: "Second brother, second brother, I'm so hungry."

When Brother Ji saw that the youngest sister had come out, even though his face was frozen, he still tried his best to show a gentle smile, took out the steamed bun from his arms that had been covered so it wasn't too cold, and handed it over.

"I brought the steamed buns. You go and share them with your sister and your fourth brother."

The sixth sister was the youngest and only knew she was hungry. When she saw the steamed bun, she quickly took it in her hand and took a bite.

Seeing her like this, Ji's third brother said fiercely: "I just know how to eat, and you didn't ask my second brother if he had eaten."

The sixth sister was a little scared after being attacked, and she didn't dare to eat. She quickly took out the steamed bun that she had taken a bite of and handed it to the second brother Ji. She was obviously very hungry, so she smacked her lips to feel the bite she had taken before, and she was still whispering. Said: "Eat for the second brother, give it to the second brother."

The second brother Ji looked at the third brother disapprovingly, and said warmly to the sixth sister: "Second brother has eaten, you can just eat."

The little girl timidly handed it to Ji Sandi: "Third brother, eat it."

Ji Sandi's face was still fierce, but he touched his sister's head with his hand:

"I'm not hungry either. I ate on the mountain today."

"Then I'll give it to my fourth brother and sister."

There was still some fear on her face. She grabbed the cornbread in her hand, looked at the two brothers in front of her, and begged in a low voice, "Liuya won't eat. I don't eat enough. Don't sell Liuya."

Both of them were stunned.

The second brother Ji's face turned ugly and he looked at the third brother: "Has the second uncle been here today?"

Ji's third brother shook his head with a gloomy face: "I don't know, I went hunting in the mountains today and I'm not at home."

He said, turned around and entered the room: "I'll ask my fourth brother."

Ji's second brother coaxed Liuya first, and after promising her that he would not sell her, he also carried her into the house.

In the house, the other two brothers and sisters also knew that they were back, but they didn't come out.

It's not that they don't want to welcome their brother, it's just that the family is too poor and has few clothes. For example, the second brother Ji and the third brother Ji have to go out often, so they have thicker clothes to wear.

Liuya and the others were all wearing thin clothes. In order to keep warm, everyone was wrapped in a shabby quilt at home during the day.

Ji's father and Ji's mother were sick and were in another room for fear of infecting them.

When he entered, Ji's fourth brother had an angry look on his face, and there was still hatred in his childish voice: "Second aunt is here today. On the surface, she said it was for our own good, but in fact, she just saw that Liuya was young and good-looking, and wanted to Sold her to a cripple in the East Village. The cripple was over thirty this year, and she actually had the nerve to tell her. "

The faces of all the children in the room were full of anger, except for Liuya, who was the youngest and didn't understand much.

"Let them dream!"

Wu Ya, who was relatively sensible, suddenly said: "Second aunt said that the lame man is willing to buy a daughter-in-law for a small amount of money. How about I go?"

"fart!"

Ji Sandi frowned angrily: "Didn't that lame man beat his wife to death before? Otherwise, why would no one dare to marry him? Traffickers won't sell women to him. If you go there, you will die."

Wu Ya was shaken by the yelling, and lowered her head in discomfort: "But the weather is cold, and I don't make any money at home every day. I still eat. If I go to change money, at least my family can survive until the beginning of spring."

The second brother Ji looked ugly, but he still comforted his younger siblings: "Okay, stop talking, no one in this family will be sold unless I die."

"Don't worry about family matters. I'll be with your third brother."

Although he was not as tall as Ji's third brother, he was always very majestic in the eyes of his younger brothers and sisters. Therefore, when he said this, his younger brothers and sisters all nodded obediently.

Fourth brother Ji and Wuya started cooking, and Liuya, the little one, followed them, and from time to time he would raise the steamed buns in his hand for them to eat.

It's just that they both took a small bite and didn't really eat it.

The second brother Ji took out the medicinal materials in his arms and handed them to the third brother: "Go and boil the medicine. I'll go see my parents."

"Um."

Ji Sandi took the medicine and suddenly said: "Brother, please take me to be a porter tomorrow. I am stronger than you."

"No, there must be someone at home to take care of them. Otherwise, they are all too young. Now Ernie has this idea again. What if she secretly takes Liuya away and sells her? You are on the mountain. At least you still listen when they call you. get."

The second brother Ji did not let the third brother become a porter, not only because of this, but also because porters have a short life span.

If the thing is heavy, it can only break the bones of a person alive.

His bones were not broken, but he had encountered a lot of heavy objects. How could he be willing to let his younger brother suffer like this?

After all, the third brother Ji was young and didn't think far enough. He didn't know what the second brother was thinking, so he agreed and went to boil the medicine.

Brother Ji went to the next room. On the bed, two old men were lying drowsily. They were only in their forties, and their foreheads were already covered with white hair.

They are very sick and not always conscious.

Second brother Ji stepped forward and touched their foreheads, and then looked to see if they needed to change the mats. Just as he was watching, Ji's mother woke up.

She was groggy, and when she saw her second son, she shouted: "Second brother, are you back?"

"Yes, mother, I'm back. Fourth brother and Wuya are cooking porridge. You can have porridge in a while."

Ji's mother shook her head with difficulty: "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, you can just eat."

Brother Ji knew that she wanted to save food, so he smiled and didn't answer.

Mother Ji asked again: "You were at the dock today. Did you find out about your eldest brother?"

"No, I'm too busy today and I didn't ask many people."

"Hey, if you didn't ask, you didn't ask. He must have been tripped up by something."

The second brother Ji didn't say anything. He thought the same thing at first, but after such a long time, the eldest brother didn't believe him at all. He also felt that the eldest brother was just like the people in the village said. He didn't want to support his parents and younger siblings, so he brought him with him. The money ran away.

It's just that my parents don't believe it and think that the eldest brother will come back.

Why come back?

Ji Mu was in a daze, but she was still saying: "When your eldest brother comes back, with him here, you won't have to work so hard. Your eldest brother is a scholar, and he has ways to make money."

"If he doesn't come back in a few days, mother will leave first so as not to drag you down..."

"Mom, don't say such things."

Brother Ji tucked her in and said, "Don't worry, you and dad will be fine."

Ji's mother had fallen into a deep sleep.

Brother Ji looked at his parents sleeping for a while, then opened the door and went out.

When he arrived at his third brother's side, Ji's third brother, who was skillfully brewing medicine, asked, "Did your parents ask Ji Qing again?"

"Don't call me that, that's big brother."

"Bullshit brother, who is the eldest brother like this? When my parents were fine, he stayed in the county and never came home. He only came back a few times a year. Even when he came back, he was always in his own room. When I came out, I even forgot what he looked like. As soon as my parents got sick, he took the money and ran away without caring about us. What kind of big brother is this? "

Second brother Ji waited quietly for him to finish, and then said, "My parents said he went to ask the doctor."

"Brother, do you believe this? It took him so long to ask for a doctor?? It's been so long and there's not even a letter. Look what the people in the village said. They said he just left us and ran away. There are two My uncle has been thinking about taking advantage of our family all day long, considering that we are young and easy to bully. If he were here, our family would not be so difficult. "

Ji Sandi had an irritable temper, but he was just a child after all. As he spoke, he remembered the grievances his family had suffered during this period. He used a fan to fan the house and wiped away his tears.

"Okay, it's useless to talk about this."

When Ji's second brother saw this, he felt uncomfortable and said, "Don't worry, I won't sell Liuya even if I say anything. Let's just get through this winter."

Ji Sandi wiped his tears, gritted his teeth with hatred, and said while fanning himself: "He'd better live well and live until I grow up. When I meet him, I will beat him ten times."

At this moment, Ji Changze was still on his way here at full speed.

"A sneeze——"

A big sneeze came out of his mouth. The miracle doctor was wrapped in a quilt and reading a book without being affected by the bumps. When he saw his apprentice sneezing, he stretched out a hand from the quilt and put it on Ji Changze's veins.

"Well... I just caught a cold. Just take some medicine and you'll be fine."

"Forget it, let's wait until it's time to eat. It's not easy to prepare medicine if we're on the road now."

Ji Changze rubbed his nose, put down the book in his hand and went out: "Give me a horse."

If you catch a cold or something, just do horse riding and do some exercise.

Sitting on the horse, he rode forward and reached the guard leading the way: "How long does it take to get to Hu County?"

"Soon."

The guard replied: "At this rate, we can arrive at noon tomorrow."

"Okay! Keep on going and tell your brothers that I will work hard for you all this time. When I get back, I will give you three taels of silver each."

As soon as these words came out, the guards around him became energetic.

Everyone speeded up.

Ji Changze was mixed in among them, and he could not see the weakness of the scholar at all, and he rode so fast.

Thanks to the encouragement of money, they arrived near Hu County before noon.

Of course, this was thanks to the guard who was very familiar with the road and led them to take a shortcut so that they could arrive quickly.

The guard led them to a river and pointed to the city opposite: "That's Hu County. We can get there after crossing the river by boat. I don't know where your family is. When we get to Hu County, I'm afraid I'll ask you Come to lead the way."

Ji Changze nodded and looked across at Hu County.

It is indeed the way the original owner remembers it.

In my memory, Hu County is built on mountains, but also close to rivers. Therefore, many people in the county rely on waterways to make a living, and the original owner's family is a farmer who has been farming for generations.

They stood there and waited for a while, and finally waited for two boats that could hold people and horses.

They all came forward.

Ji Changze recalled the home route in the memory of the original owner. After making sure that nothing was missing, he said to the miracle doctor next to him: "My parents don't know whether the disease has worsened, so they have to rely on the master."

"Easy to say, easy to say, you are my disciple, you are all one of my own, I will definitely cure them."

If this is poison or something, the miracle doctor is not sure yet.

But hearing the symptoms described by Ji Changze, ordinary doctors might be helpless, but it would be a piece of cake for him.

If he didn't value his apprentice, he would never have followed such a disease that could be easily cured.

After a group of people got on the waterway, the porters at the dock who were resting because they were out of work also learned from a boatman that a group of people had boarded the boat.

"It looked like a soldier. He was still wearing armor. He must have no shortage of money. They only brought the horse to the boat, and the carriage was left there directly."

When the porters heard this, they all became happy.

It is good if there is no shortage of money. Only when there is no shortage of money will we ask them to carry heavy objects.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Those who were themselves porters were not happy for a long time before a middle-aged man stepped forward and dispersed them.

"Can you take care of so many people? I don't want my people to come and pick up individual tourists."

Those people didn't dare to offend him, so they could only leave in silence and wait for them to leave. Only then did the middle-aged man turn around with satisfaction and arrive in front of his group of porters.

"I'll go pick up the customers in a while. You guys behave well. This is a soldier. If I get them, they will be generous. Today I will give each person an extra penny. Do you hear me!"

The porters all nodded happily, and Brother Ji was among them. His eyes also lit up and he nodded quickly.

Seeing his excited look, the middle-aged man frowned slightly and waited for the porters to disperse before he came to him and said, "Didn't you just have trouble using your arms? Why are you here again?"

Ji's second brother quickly explained while waving his still painful arm: "I'm fine now. I can continue to pick goods. Look, I'm fine."

"Okay, okay, I've seen this kind of thing a lot. I still can't exert myself today, and I won't be able to move for a while. You rest today, and I'll take care of the money."

Brother Ji was stunned for a moment. The middle-aged man touched his mustache, lowered his voice and said like a thief, "Don't tell others about this, or they will make a fuss."

Brother Ji realized what he was doing and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, thank you. I will go to work after I have a rest."

"Come on, you're such a small body, go and go, don't be an eyesore here, and rest on the side. I'm afraid that the soldiers will see us at such a young age and won't let us move things."

Brother Ji nodded with bright eyes and sat aside.

On the water, the boat has arrived.

The boatman said: "Soldiers, our ship is too big to stop in shallow water, so we can only stop here. You guys can go down on your own after all your hard work. If you have anything heavy to carry, you can hire porters on the shore." "

Ji Changze stood up and looked at the depth of the water.

Fortunately, I can still walk, but I can't ride on a horse and have to walk by myself.

As soon as he stood up, he saw a middle-aged man coming over with a bunch of shirtless men, and shouted to them: "Soldiers, do you have anything heavy to move? Hire us to move it, it's cheap!" It will definitely be delivered to you safely. ”

The guards had been vigilantly guarding Ji Changze since they saw him.

The military advisor has said that if something goes wrong with Mr. Ji, none of them will be able to escape.

"It's okay, it's just a porter. Tell them we don't hire anyone."

"yes."

One of the guards came forward and said something. The middle-aged man showed disappointment on his face, but he didn't bother and walked to the shore with his people.

Ji Changze and his guards got off the boat one after another and walked in the water with their horses.

Afraid that the horse would be too strenuous, only the miracle doctor sat on the horse, while the others, including Ji Changze, led the horse by themselves.

When they reached the shore, they knew that they did not hire porters to carry the goods, so no one dared to approach them.

This was a soldier, what if they provoked them?

The doctor sat on the horse and looked around comfortably: "Not bad, not bad, although Hu County is poor, the scenery is good, it is indeed a water town."

"Hey, such a young kid is also a porter? Hey, the world is really in chaos."

Ji Changze just got on the horse and heard what he said. He subconsciously looked over and saw a child with his back to them, pinching his shoulders. His clothes were dirty and torn, and his hands were covered with frostbite.

"The world is not easy, and the people are naturally suffering."

He was about to give the order to set off, but suddenly found that the side face of this child was so familiar.

Ji Changze had a guess in his heart and rode forward.

The porters around him saw him frowning and heading towards Ji Erdi, and they were scared and dodged. Ji Erdi didn't know that he was facing him and was still pinching his shoulders seriously.

Or a porter opposite him kindly reminded him: "Ji Er, is that soldier coming for you?"

What?

Ji Erdi turned around subconsciously.

He happened to meet the sight of Ji Changze who was sitting on the horse and looking down.

"Second brother?"

Ji Changze saw the face and was sure that this was really his second brother.

Most farmers have many children, and none of them know how to read. They are named like Wang Da and Wang Er's family, in the order of one, two, three, four, and five, which greatly increases the rate of duplicate names.

Ji Changze's second brother is also named according to this name, called Ji Er.

The original owner was naturally called Ji Da.

However, he disliked this name because it was vulgar and not nice. After going to the county to study, he asked the teacher to name him. The teacher gave him a light name, and his full name was Ji Qing.

The courtesy name was Changze.

When Ji Erdi saw the face of the person in front of him, his body was shocked.

Then he heard Ji Changze calling him, and then he confirmed that the man in front of him, who was riding a tall horse, wearing expensive clothes and armor, with a fair complexion, like the son of a wealthy family he had seen, was his eldest brother.

He was a little confused for a moment.

He stared at the man in front of him stiffly, not knowing what to say.

Ji Changze laughed first: "What's wrong? I went out for a while, you don't remember me?"

After laughing, he looked at the embarrassed Ji Erdi in front of him, and frowned again: "Are you working as a porter? It's my fault that I took so long to come back."

"Big, big brother..."

Looking at the person in front of him who was talking to him, Ji Erdi finally squeezed out the word "big brother" from his throat.

He looked at the soldiers around him who obviously came with his eldest brother, and looked a little at a loss: "Brother, how come...you are with these soldiers?"

A guard happened to see Ji Changze talking to Ji Erdi, and came forward to ask: "Sir, do you know him?"

"It's my second brother."

Ji Erdi could no longer hear Ji Changze's answer. All he could think about was the two words that the soldier had just shouted to his eldest brother.

Sir.

The soldier actually called him eldest brother Sir.

He was completely shocked.

While he was stunned, Ji Changze leaned over and pulled him onto the horse, letting him sit in front.

"Are my parents at home? I brought back a famous doctor, he will definitely be able to cure my parents' illness."

Ji Erdi nodded blankly; "My parents...are at home."

"Then let's talk while we're on the road, let's go! Go!!"

Ji Erdi sat in the front, protected by his brother's arms so that he wouldn't fall, surrounded by soldiers in armor.

They called him Big Brother, Sir.

His mind was blank and confused, and he only had one sentence left.

Big Brother, he actually came back with the doctor. Search WeChat public account: qmfkxs, and you will find what you want to see after following it!
