After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1 Zhu Ming Clan
Zhu Yiyuan tried his best to open his eyes. As far as he could see, there were earth houses with earthen walls, willow trees and flowing water, no cement roads, no telephone poles, and no vehicles passing by.And he was on the back of a man with a bun, falling step by step, moving forward with difficulty.

How is this going?

Zhu Yiyuan was confused, could it be... the gate of memory opened, Zhu Yiyuan only felt as if a hundred movies were playing in his head at the same time, all kinds of fragments were forced to squeeze in, and soon his head felt like it was stuffed.

I really crossed over!
Zhu Yiyuan, 17 years old, was born in Qingshiji, Zichuan County, Shandong Province, the royal family of the Lu Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty.

Even the royal family?

But after thinking about it again, there is nothing to be happy about, it's just a distant clan, and his father Zhu Guanyu only bears the title of lieutenant of Fuguo, and he hasn't paid his salary for a long time.

No matter, look at the time again.

In the second year of Shunzhi, last year was the 17th year of Chongzhen.

In other words, the first anniversary of the Ming Dynasty's subjugation, even Yingtian's Hongguang court is gone... What kind of opening is this?

hell?
Maybe it's the eighteenth floor one.

What can a subjugated clan do? Can it still learn from Liu Xiu and come to Guangwu Zhongxing?

Then you must have the ability to summon meteorites.

Zhu Yiyuan's heart is cold and cold, and time travel also depends on luck, obviously he is the kind of bad luck, the kind of spirit possessed.

Not long ago, the Qing government implemented a hair-shaving order, and the decree reached Shandong. The people in the Yamen, as well as the Zhang family near Dazhuang Village, sent out hundreds of thugs.

This Zhang family once gave birth to a great scholar in Daming, and it can be regarded as receiving the grace of Daming. However, when the dynasty changed, they took the lead in shaving their hair and serving as minions of the Qing Dynasty. It is really embarrassing.

However, as the imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yiyuan was so distraught that he was about to become a servant of the Qing court, so he had no choice but to throw himself into the well.

Although he can't accept suicide, at this moment Zhu Yiyuan can still feel the deep sadness of the country's destruction and family destruction, and the deep desolation of being a human being. There are indeed some things that one would rather die than submit to.

But now that he is a human being in two lifetimes, do he still want to commit suicide?
Zhu Yiyuan's heart was shaken, he wanted to live.

And he obviously jumped into the well, why was he caught up again?

The person who carries himself forward is Zhu Guanyu, the father of this life, right? He picked him up?It seems that Zhu's father didn't shave his hair either.

It must have been during the time of the well jump, what happened.

When he was in doubt, suddenly there was a fire not far in front of him, and some villagers ran away in a hurry, shouting while running.

"It's not good, it's a thief!"

The so-called thieves these days are usually hundreds of robbers, the kind who kill without batting an eyelid.

It was already very difficult for Zhu's father to carry him, and he couldn't run away at all.

"I can go, let's hide first." Zhu Yiyuan reluctantly said, although he was very weak, but he didn't want to continue to lean on his back.

When Father Zhu heard this, he was slightly startled, and finally put his son down, but still supported him, and quickly ran into the willow forest next to him.

Here is next to the river, the trees are densely shaded, and there are reeds blocking it, so it is indeed possible to hide.

There was heavy smoke in the village for four periods, and there were constant cries and shouts. Father Zhu became more and more uneasy, "It's over, it's over, your mother is still at home! What should we do?"

A middle-aged woman's figure flashed in front of Zhu Yiyuan's eyes, that was his mother Ye Shi.Speaking of it, it can be regarded as Zhu's blessing. He is a son of the clan who doesn't care about things, and his wife takes care of everything inside and outside the house.

Not only did Mrs. Ye keep the house in order, but she was also able to read and write. Zhu Yiyuan read a lot of books, and it was all thanks to his mother.

The father and two were arrested to shave their hair, and she was alone at home. At this time, another robber came, which was indeed very dangerous.

However, Zhu Yiyuan was already very weak and couldn't walk fast, so he could only say: "I'll wait here, you go first."

Old Man Zhu nodded, but within two steps, Old Man Zhu turned his head and came to Zhu Yiyuan's side, and stretched out his hand to support him.

"Today, both of us father and son escaped death. No matter what, we father and son cannot be separated. If we really die, we will die together."

Zhu Yiyuan stared blankly at this thin and frail middle-aged man, his cold heart suddenly felt warm.They followed the intermittent willow bushes to the east of the village, in the direction of their home.

Father Zhu supported his son with one hand, and opened the way in front with the other. Dead trees and broken branches cut his clothes, leaving wounds on his arms. He didn't seem to notice, just walked forward, and whispered to Zhu Yiyuan from time to time: " Be careful, don't get scratched."

Look at yourself!

Zhu Yiyuan didn't say anything, but the warmth in his heart became stronger.Even though it's the beginning of hell, there are still people who are willing to fight for you and shelter you from the wind and rain. It's not too bad.

Born in troubled times, and also Zhu Ming's clan, what a crime!
The father and son stumbled, their clothes were scratched, and they were in a panic.Finally, not far from home.

They hid behind the bushes and looked out. It seemed that someone was driving a carriage. The carts were full of looted things. These people held swords in their hands, talked and laughed loudly, and returned with a full load.

Faced with this situation, the Zhu family father and son did not dare to breathe, and could only wait cautiously.

Finally, everyone left, and after waiting for a short while, they came out of the shade of the trees, walked quickly across the dirt road, and entered their house.

As soon as they came in, both of them were dumbfounded.

Looking over, it was a mess, the grape trellis in the small courtyard fell down, the water tank was broken, and walking into the house, the furniture was in a mess and fell all over the floor.

All clothes and belongings, even cotton mattresses, were all looted.

Turning to the back, the door of their warehouse was suddenly open, and there was not a grain of grain left in it.

Zhu Yiyuan, who witnessed all this, couldn't help smiling wryly. He couldn't tell how angry he was, but he felt confused and absurd. His previous life was an era with strict order.Not to mention that bandits are rampant, there are not even many thieves.

But now?
First, the Qing court forced them to shave their hair and serve as slaves, while the gentry bared their teeth and claws to serve tigers, and then there were bandits who robbed them, and the knives and knives fell on themselves.

At this moment, Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help but hesitate, does he have the ability to survive?

Just when Zhu Yiyuan was hesitating, old man Zhu's tears had already flowed out.

"Ma'am, ma'am! Where are you!"

"If you are gone, how can I live!"

"Whoever dares to catch you, I, I'll fight him with my life!"

……

Father Zhu was muttering, tears welling up, just passing by a straw pile, and suddenly heard a cough.

He suddenly turned around, only to find that the straw was pushed away, and a woman came out from inside, it was his wife!

"You, you're all right!" Father Zhu was pleasantly surprised.

But the old lady stared at them and asked back at the same time: "How are you two?"

At least alive.

Zhu Yiyuan couldn't open his mouth for a while, so he could only force a smile.

Old Zhu burst into tears of joy, hurriedly dragged his wife, a family of three, survived the catastrophe... Let me talk about my mother first, when she shaves her hair, she doesn't have to go.No one can say what will happen outside, so her father told her to wait at home.

The old lady can only be obedient and wait anxiously at home.

But after a while, there was a sudden commotion outside, someone shouted that the thieves were coming, they rushed into the houses and robbed everything they saw.Since Zhu's family is well-organized, it can be seen that he is richer than ordinary people, so he rushed over quickly.

"Thieves, aren't they officers and soldiers?" Dad asked in surprise.

The old woman shook her head, "This group of people didn't have official clothes, and I saw them from a distance. They broke into the door like a pack of wolves, and it didn't make sense at all. I didn't have time to take anything, I just took the gold and silver jewelry with me. .”

As she said that, the old lady took out a purse from her bosom, which was glittering with gold and contained many good things.

Over the years, it has been turbulent, and my mother has also become a good doctor after a long illness, so she has prepared in advance.

Zhu Yiyuan watched silently, wanting to cry... In the front, the officials arrested them to shave their hair, and in the back, the thieves came to rob them. It really was a tacit cooperation and a seamless connection.

Suddenly, Zhu Yiyuan realized something, no wonder they were able to escape from death, wouldn't it be these thieves who scared the people in the Yamen away?
If this is the case, I really don't know what to say, is it to thank them for saving their lives, or to remember the hatred of ransacking and robbing?
Only in this ridiculous and chaotic world can such absurd things happen.

When Zhu Yiyuan was thinking about it, his mother asked about them. The old man couldn't bear it, so he had to dump the beans in a bamboo tube.

This time, the old lady felt very distressed, "My son, why can't you think about it? It's better to die than to live."

Zhu Yiyuan was speechless, he could understand a mother's mood, but he just endured the scolding silently.

It was the old man who coughed and said, "The child still has a backbone. Now that God is protecting us, we all survived by luck, so don't complain."

The old lady cried for a long while, then put away her sadness and said: "I see, you two are hungry too, I'll go get something to eat."

Father Zhu was taken aback, "Eat? How can there be food? Isn't it all taken away?"

The old lady snorted proudly: "It was stolen, but if I don't even have some life-saving food, my family will be in vain. After so many years of chaos, I have already prepared. Don't worry, the food hidden is enough for several months of."

Zhu's old man was so downcast, "Ma'am, you are really the pillar and backbone of our family."

Zhu Yiyuan's stomach was also very cooperative, and he started grunting... But he knew that every household was robbed just now, if cooking at this time, and saw the smoke from the cooking, maybe other villagers would come to beg for food, who knows what will happen misfortune?
Although folks need to take care of each other, they also need to share their time.

What's more, those robbers will die if they go and return.

In short, be careful.

So Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help stretching out his finger, pointing to the sky.

"Wait for the sun to go down."

This reminded the old lady, she couldn't help laughing, "Okay, you've got a good eye. I'll soak the rice first, it will cook quickly."
