Chapter 10 All the way to the south

Standing in the tent, the first thing Li Bin did was to check the guns and ammunition he sent last night. Fortunately, he stayed in his sleeping bag, and the tent didn't look like someone came in, so he felt relieved. Even though Li Bin was ready to change from a teacher to a violent person, he was not skilled in his business after all, so it was normal to be cautious and cautious!

He stepped out of the tent, greeted Zhang Da, and took Tuantuan from Zhang Da's wife. Fortunately, everything was normal. It seemed that Zhang Da's wife did take good care of her.

"Sister-in-law, you took good care of Tuantuan, thank you!"

"What the young master said is right, it's fine, as long as the young master is satisfied!"

Zhang and his two children also came out of the inner room and had already put on the cotton jacket that Li Bin bought for them last time. They were no longer as blue as a little face! Maybe they had eaten their fill these days and had a little rosy face!

Li Bin was finally a little relieved: No matter what, I came to the Ming Dynasty to save Tuantuan, and let the two children have a full meal for a few days and put on a cotton jacket. It has changed a little bit, and there will always be a solution!

The two families started making New Year’s Eve dinner together. This time Li Bin didn’t have anything to bring. After all, he was about to transfer his seat, and the things are now overloaded. I only brought some snacks and fireworks to Zhang and his two children!

In this era, the lack of supplies, and it is impossible for Li Bin to be interested in life like a fairy in Zhang Da's eyes. However, Zhang's two children seemed to have endless good things to take out, and they were very close to him, and pestered him all day long! Li Bin was free and was happy to tease these two children. The eldest son shouted Dogzi, and the second son called Erya, well, a very rural name. After two days of calling him, Li Bin always felt a little uncomfortable, so he named the eldest son Zhang Wen and the second son Zhang Qin, which made the two little guys happy. Li Bin just called him so he was so happy that he had to give gifts to nearby scholars these days.

Li Bin has been working hard to follow Zhang Da’s wife to take care of Tuantuan. She took a bath, changed her diapers and fed her milk powder. She became a full-time dad. After six or seven days of calm days, the temperature began to rise bit by bit. Li Bin knew that he should leave. Shandong was not a place to stay for a long time. The drought had not passed yet. He had not even had a decent snow all winter! It was so messy that he could not find enough food here to develop his power.

On supper on the seventh day of the first lunar month of 1639, "Brother Zhang, after you have been disturbed by this for so long, the weather has warmed up, and I should leave too. Thank you and my sister-in-law for the long hospitality. I am going to set off for Songjiang tomorrow."

"Are you going to return to Nanhuazhou?"

I'm fooling you. Where is there any South China continent? There is one in Australia, but I say it is South China continent, which is South China continent!

"I am not ready to go back to Nanhuazhou for the time being. I want to set up a place in Songjiang first and build a village so that I can have a place to stay when I come back to worship my ancestors in the future."

"Oh, that young man is careful all the way!"

Li Bin is leaving now, so it is hard for Zhang Da to stay anymore, otherwise it would be hard to explain if he thinks he is greedy for Li Bin's benefits!

Li Bin still slept in his tent at night. Tuantuan now takes Li Bin to sleep with him every night. The little guy is used to Li Bin's service and smiles every day!

"The head of the family, Mr. Li is really leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, Mr. Li also has his own business to do, so he must leave."

After a while of silence, Zhang's wife said, "Original, how about you tell me we will follow Mr. Li?"

"What?" Zhang Da's voice was so shocked that he was octave higher.

"Ghost, the voice is smaller, don't let Mr. Li hear it! I think Mr. Li is a good person and is kind to others. Today he also said that he would go to Songjiang to build a farm. Isn't he going to hire people? The fields are getting dryer and the crops are not harvested. There are refugees and bandits everywhere, so the children have never had enough food. I thought that with Mr. Li, I could always let the children have some full meals!"

"We can't do the business of selling ourselves as slaves, otherwise the children will have no time to turn over!"

"Who said you were asked to sell your body? You helped the young master to help me watch the child cook and wash clothes. The young master always had to give me some food, just think that it wouldn't be able to hire someone?"

"Young Master Li believes that you have long hair and short knowledge. If you don't sell yourself, why should Mr. Li trust you?"

"I think the young master is not like that. Why don't we beg him tomorrow? This year is not the young master, we can only eat wild vegetables in spring. If this year is the same as last year, we may not be able to sell the second child. If there is a headache and fever, our family will be gone. Follow the young master at least not worry about starving to death! There are two families in the village that have not survived the New Year. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that my two children will suffer!"

Zhang Da was also silent. This man had never encountered such a difficult choice after living for thirty years. On the one hand, he was betting on Li Bin, who met by chance!

"Why do I ask the young master tomorrow?"

"No, just ask me how could I agree? Now there is no one there, why do I want you? Or make up my mind to follow Mr. Li, and you must agree to any conditions except selling yourself as a slave! Now we can only follow Mr. Li to have a full meal!"

Not to mention that Zhang Da tossed and turned all night and didn't fall asleep, Li Bin slept well. Since he had decided to start in Songjiang, having a goal means having a direction. He got up in the morning and washed up, served Tuantuan and had enough food and drink. After breakfast with Zhang Da's family, he was about to say goodbye to Zhang Da, but he saw Zhang Da and his wife kneeling in front of him with their two children!

When did Li Bin see such a scene? He quickly went to the side: "What is Brother Zhang doing? Just tell me if you have something!"

Li Bin pulled Zhang Da for a while, but it didn't even get up. He pulled the two children up first: "Brother Zhang, get up and talk. If you don't get up, I'll leave!"

Zhang Da had no choice but to get up and sat at the table. Zhang Da said to Li Bin what he had discussed with his wife last night!

Li Bin was also silent. He was riding a motorcycle with Tuantuan, and his speed was guaranteed. Even if he encountered danger, he had the confidence to escape. If he wanted to take Zhang Da’s family, he could only bear anything on the road, and the danger would be greatly increased! As for the conditions for not selling himself as a slave, he didn’t care at all. Science students did not believe in such things as loyalty. Everyone is learning the law of conservation of calories.

Of course, there are also benefits. Zhang Da’s family is diligent and flexible, and his wife is also smart. After all, he does not know this era without the natives of the Ming Dynasty. He should at least be at ease with Zhang Da’s family than to find someone else else! It is necessary to help someone to do some simple things.

The trolley was pushing Zhang Da and his family’s belongings and two children, Li Bin pushed the motorcycle, with a small tuan hanging on his chest, heading south!
