I’m The King Chapter 971: :Huanghuang Hanwei (ninety-five)

As the little dolls shouted, more and more people came out, looking at the majestic Dong Zhuang, everyone was amazed, the Dong family was the poorest family in Dongjiazhuang back then, even now, Because the foundation is too weak, it is still at the bottom of Dongjiazhuang, but seeing Dong Zhuang's current appearance, everyone sighs that Dongjia has been developing in the past 30 years and Hexi in the past 30 years!

The pine tree is still the same big pine tree, and the big yellow dog tied under the tree is much stronger than it was two years ago. It is no longer the skinny and messy guy in Dong Zhuang's image.

Seeing so many people rushing in, the big yellow dog under the pine tree, which was sticking out its tongue to enjoy the coolness, stood up suddenly, its hair bristling, and a threatening whine sounded from its throat.

"Rhubarb!" Dong Zhuang's eyes became moist all of a sudden, and he shouted. The big yellow dog stared at the brightly dressed man in front of him with some doubts, swung his legs, and walked forward. After a few steps, he seemed to smell a familiar smell, and jumped up on the spot, raising his two front paws high, trying to grab Dong Zhuang's body, but it was a pity that the rope behind him was tied to him, and he was hit. The child pulled it back again, and Da Huang was obviously in a hurry, and kept rushing forward, and was pulled back again and again.

Dong Zhuang took a step forward and stretched out his hands. The big yellow dog threw himself into his arms. The dog's head rested on Dong Zhuang's shoulder. It kept rubbing against Dong Zhuang's face with its long tongue sticking out. , licking Dong Zhuang's face.

"Old man Dong, your eldest son is back!" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

"Who is entertaining me again!" An old voice came from the room, and the door creaked open, and a white-haired old man opened the door and appeared at the door.

"Father, I'm back!" Dong Zhuang pounced on him, knelt down on the ground with a bang, "Father, the unfilial son is back." Looking at the gray-haired old man in front of him, Dong Zhuang burst into tears Quan Yong, my father is not yet fifty, but he looks like an old man over sixty years old.

"Strong!" The old man looked at Dong Zhuang who was kneeling in front of him. He didn't react for a while, but just looked Dong Zhuang up and down.

"Father, it's me, it's Zhuang Zhuang, Zhuang Zhuang is back!" Dong Zhuang said loudly, "Look carefully, I'm your son."

"Zhuang Zhuang!" The old man finally recognized Dong Zhuang and shouted, "You, didn't you die in Yuyang? They all said you died in Yuyang!"

"I'm not dead, I'm back." Dong Zhuang shouted, "Are you okay? Mother, are you okay? Brothers and sisters, are you okay?"

The old man yelled, turned around suddenly and ran into the house, "Damn the child, Zhuang Zhuang is back, Zhuang Zhuang is not dead!"

Dong Zhuang got up and ran to the house.

In the inner room, there was a strong smell of medicine. A white-haired woman was struggling to get up from the bed. She stretched her hands forward and groped around. She was blind.

Old man Dong walked to the bedside, supported the woman, and burst into tears, "Damn the child, Zhuang Zhuang is back."

Dong Zhuang stood blankly by the door, looking at the two white-haired old men, he couldn't believe his eyes, when he left, the house was fine, why is it like this now? Dad looks old Dozens of years old, my mother is sick in bed, and my younger brothers and sisters are gone.

"Zhuang Zhuang, where are you? Where are you?" The woman scratched her hands, and tears flowed down her dry eye sockets.

"Mother!" Dong Zhuang yelled, rushed over, knelt down in front of the bed, holding his mother's withered hands tightly, "I'm back, your son is back."

"My son!" The woman hugged Dong Zhuang in her arms and burst into tears.

"Zhuang Zhuang, two years ago, when she heard that you died in battle in Yuyang, your mother cried every day, saying that you should not be allowed to serve as a soldier, and then she cried blindly and collapsed." Dong The old man sighed.

"Mother, it's all my fault. We were defeated in Yuyang, and I became a prisoner. Later, I went to Hetao, participated in the Eastern Expedition Army, and then went to Donghu. I have been fighting all the time. At that time, I didn't You can’t read and write, and you can’t write letters back, and we don’t deal with the East Army and the Yan Army, and we can’t even bring back a message, it’s your son’s fault, which made you suffer!” Dong Zhuang put his mother’s hands on his face , cried. "It's all right now, my son is back, my son has become an official, and there are many people under him, my son will not let you suffer any more."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be alive!" The woman said tremblingly, holding Dong Zhuang tightly, for fear that if she let go, Dong Zhuang would disappear again.

"Qiuzi, bring everything in!" Sitting on the bedside, Dong Zhuang shouted back.

Crowded by the door, the iron men who were teary-eyed because of seeing everything in the house let out an oh, turned around and rushed out, unloaded packages one by one from behind the horses, and rushed back into the house.

"Father, mother, these are gifts I bought for you and your brothers and sisters." Dong Zhuang smiled with tears in his eyes, and opened the packages one by one, "This is for the older brother and the second brother, these are for the younger sisters The rest of these clothes and jewelry are for the elders. In addition to the new clothes, there is also an old ginseng, which we found by accident when we were fighting in Donghu. , you see, we are rich."

Dong Zhuang tore open a package, which was filled with white taels of silver, a total of several hundred taels." Father, mother, these are the military pay for the past two years and the silver rewards for victorious battles and meritorious service. I was in the army, I had food and clothing, and I had nothing to spend on the money, so I brought it all back to marry my younger brother and my younger sister’s dowry, and it’s almost the same.”

Dong Zhuang was talking excitedly, but he didn't notice that the old man Dong was silently wiping away his tears, and his mother's body in his arms was also trembling.

"Father, mother, brother and sister, where have you gone? Why haven't you come back yet?" Dong Zhuang looked around, finally found something wrong, and asked suspiciously.

"They, they are gone!" Old Man Dong cried out.

"It's gone! What, it's gone, why is it gone?" Dong Zhuang jumped up suddenly, and the old woman lay on the bed, crying loudly.

"Last year when the people of Qi came here, your elder brother and second brother were conscripted by the government to serve as soldiers. Later, Jicheng was captured by the people of Qi, and the blood flowed in the city. There is no news of your two younger brothers anymore. Later, some of the people in Zhuangzi who were captured together as soldiers escaped back, saying that both of your younger brothers died on the day when Jicheng was broken. The Qi people came and looted everywhere. Erya was snatched away by them, and there is no more news. It's gone, it's all gone!" Old Man Dong cried.

Dong Zhuang's body trembled violently, his face was flushed, and his fists were clenched. A guard saw that something was wrong, so he took a step forward and said loudly: "Boss, boss, howl loudly a few times , Howl a few times!"

Seeing that Dong Zhuang was still unresponsive, he waved his hand and slapped Dong Zhuang's face violently. With a bang, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Dong Zhuang yelled and fell over on his back.

"Boss!"

"Strong!"

There was a sudden chaos in the room.

Late at night, people are quiet. Old man Dong is sitting on the stone roller under the big pine tree. Dong Zhuang moved a small bench and sat on the side. The big yellow dog is lying at Dong Zhuang's feet like two years ago. From time to time, I would stick out my tongue and lick Dong Zhuang's big feet.

Amid the old man Dong's slow and painful narration, Dong Zhuang finally fully understood what happened to his family in the past two years.

The people of Qi State came, but Yan State did not have many soldiers. The imperial court finally pulled the plug, and the recruiting system that had been in place for several years collapsed, and it was replaced by the arrest of strong men. This is how Dong Zhuang's two younger brothers were taken away. , died on the day the city was broken. After the people of Qi completely occupied Tianhe, it can be said that they did everything from burning, killing and looting. The two sisters were snatched away by a group of rebels from Qi. And go, and the two slender women, in such a troubled world, naturally will not end well.

The situation of the Dong family, it is said that it is impossible to survive in this world. Fortunately, after the Zhengdong Army occupied Tianhe County, it started a comprehensive reform, and the Dong family also got a few acres of land, but the old couple There was no ability to plant them all, so the local government sent people to help them cultivate in the busy season, which allowed the two old people to survive. Last winter, they built a new house for them, although it was not as good as in Zhuangzi. The other Qingkuwa houses are also much better than the previous bad thatched houses.

"Hello King, if it wasn't for the King of Han, if you come back now, grass will grow on our graves!" Old Man Dong sighed, "It's just a pity that your younger brothers and sisters are not blessed. This day, otherwise, our family will divide more than ten acres of land, work harder, and life will get better and better."

Or too much sadness has already made the old man a little numb, his expression has become much calmer now, "You are back, Zhuangzhuang, our Dong family is not dead after all."

"Father, don't worry, life will get better and better, and I will avenge my brothers and sisters." Dong Zhuang gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "My son is now the third member of the Han Northern Group Army. A field battalion commander under the First Division of the Army, with thousands of brothers under his command, this time he will go to study after returning from the East Three Counties. Dad, you don’t know, in the army, you can specially train senior officers It is not an opportunity that ordinary people can get, this is an opportunity that my son has worked hard for in the past few years. His Majesty is going to set up a military command academy in Jicheng, and his son is the first batch of students in this academy. Students, I heard that after graduation, you can at least be a regiment commander, and after working for a few years, you can become a division commander, and you will be a general!"

Old man Dong didn't understand what his son was talking about, but he just looked at his son with some concern, "Is there going to be a war again? Zhuang Zhuang, can't you go home? You are the only one in our Dong family."

"Of course we have to fight. If we don't fight, how can I avenge my younger brothers and sisters." Dong Zhuang said in a low voice, "We big guys, we want to sweep away all the rubbish, Dad, didn't you say big guys are good? Then we will We must plant the banner of the Great Han in every corner of the world, so that everyone can live a good life like this.”

Old man Dong nodded in a bit of confusion. His son has grown up, and he is no longer the big boy who doesn't understand anything. He is now an official.

Dong Zhuang didn't stay at home for a long time, now he just wants to go back to the army immediately, and take his ten brothers with him, Dong Zhuang cut firewood for the family for a day, and piled it like a hill in the yard , This was prepared for the two old people in winter, and then they brought gifts and went to visit each family in the village, thanking them for taking care of Dong's family, and also hoped that they could help him take care of the two old people in the future. Everything, he took the gifts for his younger brothers and sisters, and set up a tomb for them on the mountain behind the village.

After finishing all this, Dong Zhuang bid farewell to his parents and returned to the army. Now he just wants to go to school quickly, then return to the army quickly, take his brothers, and go to Qi State. (To be continued continued)
