Chapter 86

That night, the five brothers suffered from insomnia together.

One is too hungry to sleep.

They are all half-children who can kill Lao Tzu, and there are also big and small men who can eat both Lao Tzu to death.The workload is still so large, and I just rely on this cooked meal every day to live.In the end, I only drank a bowl of porridge at night, and my stomach growled one after another, like the sound of frogs.

The second is to get angry.They're all genuine Tianhuang nobles... Well, although it's a bit miserable now.But that's also Tian Huanggui, who has lost his words for a while.Where in my life have I been so angry?

The third is that the house leaks and the sky is cloudy, literally.The house they lived in, although it looked complete at the time, was in disrepair after a long period of time, and it showed its original shape when it rained.The outside is big, the inside is small, and the roof of the kang is still ticking. The brothers can only hug the quilt and curl up to avoid it.

How miserable and miserable it is.

Zhu Zhen had never suffered such a crime in his previous life.In fact, it's not just tonight, he has suffered more hardships these days than he suffered in his previous life, combined.

When he first came, he was complacent about being a prince, but now he just wants to cry.

The reason why I didn't cry was because I didn't want my brothers to worry.

Several brothers have shown a strong ability to withstand pressure.The second elder brother felt that he was the biggest and had to set an example for his younger brothers.

The third and fourth children even regarded this experience of hunger and cold as a kind of tempering for themselves.And the elder brothers are all taking care of him, leaving him the driest place on the kang, and the fifth elder brother even covered his head with a dustpan for drying medicinal herbs.

In the middle of the night, the fourth brother suddenly thought of something, jumped up from the kang, and climbed up the beam with his hands and feet.

"What are you doing, cheating corpse!" Although the third brother was not asleep, he was still startled.

"Don't eat anything later." Zhu Di snorted, and when he came down, he had a small oiled paper bag in his hand.

I opened the oiled paper in the dark, but couldn't see what was inside, it looked like a stone the size of an egg.

The fifth child picked it up, squeezed it, and said pleasantly, "Caramel!"

"Where did it come from?" Amidst the joyful voices of the brothers, the third child must be spoiling the scenery.

"I went down the river to catch some dried shrimps a while ago, and went to the market to exchange them." Zhu Di said without changing his expression.

Zhu looked at him suspiciously, knowing that the fourth child probably got it by stealing sheep in the market.

But morality was very weak in the face of hunger, so he decided not to ask any more questions.If the fourth child admits that it was stolen, should he eat it or not?

So the third brother decided not to ask.If you don't ask, you don't know, and if you don't know, it's not a crime.

Zhu Di carefully smashed the hard caramel with a hatchet, picked out the largest piece and stuffed it into Zhu Zhen's mouth.

"Don't chew, keep it in your mouth."

"Yeah." Zhu Zhen replied vaguely, with teary eyes, but he kept staring at it.Seeing that my piece has to be half the size of the whole.

Then Zhu Di gave a quarter of the big piece to the fifth child, and the remaining scum was divided with the second and third child.

The third child didn't say that he would give himself less, so he kept his mouth shut and enjoyed it.

After a long time, the sweet taste finally returned to my mouth.

"Well... too, it's so delicious." The second brother also happily closed his mouth from ear to ear.

"We, we used to hate eating candy the most, no, I didn't expect that eating candy is a beautiful thing, a beautiful thing."

"Saliva is so sweet." Lao Wu's mood finally improved.

"Don't talk, it's a waste of saliva." The fourth brother reminded.

The sixth child nodded vigorously, that's it.He kept his mouth tightly shut, just because he was afraid that the sweet saliva would flow out.

~~
Relying on this bit of sweetness, the brothers finally survived till dawn.

After eating another meal of porridge with wild vegetables, Tang Jia came and called to report to the official.

The brothers have already discussed it, we will go together today, and we will try not to place orders in the future.

Then he put the flat cart on the Dasheng Pingtian, and loaded the remaining half bag of grain, as well as valuable things such as farm tools and bedding rolls into the cart.

In fact, it's not worth much, and half the car can't be filled.

On the way to the county seat by car, Tang Jiachang hesitated to speak several times.

Seeing that Chief Tang Jia obviously had something to say, the third child deliberately lagged behind him.

"Old man, what's your order?" Zhu asked in a low voice.

Chief Tang Jia also knew that this was the most reliable member of the Hong family.He nodded and lowered his voice:

"We want to ask. What is the relationship between you and the county magistrate?"

"it does not matter."

"Really?" Tang Jiachang looked at him suspiciously. "Baby, it's already this time, you just tell the truth, we can help you too."

"If you insist, he is my father's minister... er, a subordinate." Zhu looked down at his cotton shoes with exposed toes and said, "Of course no one will believe you if you say that."

"That's right, I believe it!" Chief Tang Jia smiled and said, "We have long seen that the county magistrate treats you unusually. So the old man asked you to report to the government, but he didn't expect the government to get those gangsters."

"Yes." Zhu nodded understandingly.

The thieves come and go without a trace, which is not something the county police can deal with.Besides, it is impossible for the government to go to war just to grab back a few bags of grain.

"Actually, we want you to sell miserably. To be honest, when you first came here, you posted more things than others. We have been here for a few years, and we have never seen such a big cow." Tang Jia pointed Pingtian Dasheng Dao:

"There is also salt, no one else has distributed it, only you have it. Especially food, you have much more than other families... So, the county magistrate has taken care of you."

"Is that so." Zhu suddenly felt that something was wrong before.He also said that if the government is so generous, it may have gone bankrupt long ago.

Hearing what Old Tang said now, he completely understood.

Bacheng father had a will to give it to the magistrate of Linhuai county.

Thinking about it, it is true, no matter how you say it is his own son, and there are five biological sons, it is impossible for the father to completely let him go.

Unless the father really thinks that he has too many sons, and wants to destroy a group of them humanely...

Thinking about it again, the special care from the magistrate of Linhuai County was probably not the emperor's will, but his own kindness.

Because with his father's temper, he must be required to keep it absolutely secret, not to falsify, and to make them suffer enough.How could it be possible to let him release the water?
But since the magistrate of Han released his kindness once, it is very likely to release it again!

'I don't want him to give more, just another ration.Doesn't he count as cheating? 'The youngest made a wishful thinking.

Thinking about it this way, he felt much more relaxed, and there was a smile on his face.

As soon as the two separated, the fourth child immediately came over and said, "What's so happy about it? Let's talk about it and be happy together?"

"Hey, dad is going to marry you a wife." How could Zhu tell him the truth?
"Get out of here!" Zhu Di got bored and turned his head to ignore him.

But Zhu Zhen heard the conversation between the two just now clearly.Because he was young, Chief Tang Jia didn't deliberately avoid him.

He is not as optimistic as the third brother.

Because based on his many years of experience in watching reality TV variety shows, if the plot develops like this, the dramatic effect will not come out, so the audience will still watch it?

Right, father.
