Chapter 162 The Disappearing Well
"How to deal with the body of the Zheng family?" Zhu Da asked.
During this disaster, the Zheng family should have been destroyed. It is said that the house has the most corpses, and it should be the most foul smell. However, it feels good to stand in front of you, and the smell is all floating from other places.
"Their family wore gold and silver. The Tartars passed by one first, and no one else would let it go. Men and women were stripped of all, but everyone was somewhat concerned about the benefits of the Zheng family. They didn't do much evil. They gathered together and burned them with fire, which was a good ending." Zhao Sheng replied.
During the chaos, men were killed, and the experiences between women and children were truly cruel. The women of the Zheng family were well-raised than ordinary people, and they were beautiful. Not to mention the experiences, and they might not even be let go after death. During the war, there were no rules and no human nature. Think about how many evil deeds Zheng Yong did outside that were worse than beasts, but the Zheng family had a good reputation in the Zheng family, which had some relatively good results.
"The wealthy families in other places do not accumulate virtues, but this time they are not at peace. However, the Zheng family is different from the Qin family, so everyone is concerned about it." Zhao Sheng said.
When Zhu Da heard this, something fell into the ground and relaxed for a while. At that time, he and Zhou Qingyun took Qin Qin to Huairen County. When they passed by Zheng Family, they were in a hurry. They knew that many of the servants and merchants of the Qin family died of misfortune, but they had no time to collect their bodies and bury them. "Infiltrated for peace" was very important to people of this era. If they didn't do it at that time, Zhu Da felt that he was indebted.
Zhu Da pointed out Zhao Sheng's intention before, but the thin man was always frightened and pleased him. Seeing Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were interested in the ruins of the Zheng family, he quickly replied: "Do you two masters want to go in and take a look? Such a wealthy family will be scolded when they get close to you on weekdays, and now they can go in and take a look."
They all came, and it didn't matter whether they went in or not. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun looked at each other, and both turned over and dismounted and led the horse into the ruins of the Zheng family.
Compared with the Qin Family House and Dachuan Business, the regulations of the Zheng Family House are much larger. After all, this is a small earthen wall, which is the last fortification for the Zheng Family's military power. Although it was completely destroyed, there are rough regulations in the house, and the roads are still accessible. Be careful to avoid various colors of rubble and garbage.
Thinking about the prosperity and liveliness here in the past, and looking at the ruins in front of you, it really changed things and sighed. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun didn’t have so many feelings about the wind, flowers and autumn moons. Both of them had gloomy faces, gritting their teeth and slowly moving forward, making Zhao Sheng, who led the way, trembling.
The scenes seen in the Qin family's residence and the business shop have already made Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun angry, but they were in such a chaotic place and could still bear it. When they saw the Zheng family again, although the Zheng family had little relationship with them, the emotional fluctuations caused here became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Both of them hated the Mongolian horse team that destroyed all this, and hated the burning, killing, looting official cavalry.
All of this in front of me was a prosperous place half a month ago, but now it is like this. Before, there were people of all kinds who wanted to respect, despise, beware and perfunctory, but now everyone is dead and everything is destroyed.
"I want..." Zhou Qingyun said in a muffled voice, but was stopped by Zhu Da. Although Zhao Sheng was tactfully avoiding it, if he couldn't control his emotions, it would be easy to see something. Although no one can endanger their safety at the moment, he should not be indifferent.
Zhou Qingyun took a deep breath and the two had arrived at the Zheng family's atrium. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun came to Zheng family many times and were more familiar with the regulations of the Zheng family's large mansion than many Zheng family servants because they were intentionally trying to figure it out and remember it. Yuan Biao had very strict requirements at that time and almost regarded this as a teaching method. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun didn't understand why at that time, but Yuan Biao understood it all when he asked them to kill Zheng Yong.
"There should be a well here, has it been filled?" Zhu Da said.
A large family like the Zheng family has a well, and this well is more particular than the outside. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both have impressions. The well built with bluestone, the pavilion built with bamboo and wood, the carved well railings, and the copper pieces used on the well wheels. These things are in the house, and if they are outside, they have long been stolen by people of all kinds.
However, no matter how particular he was at that time, he would definitely be destroyed after the disaster. Even if the Mongolian horse team and the official army looked down on them, the subsequent groups of refugees, rioters and mobs would not let go.
But the well is higher than the ground, and the well is very deep. If it is really filled, it will definitely be slightly lower than the ground. After all, in such a chaotic situation, no one will deliberately fill a well, which will take a lot of time and there is no profit yet. No one will do it.
After noticing this, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both walked towards this side. Zhao Sheng quickly followed, but after just a few steps, he was stopped by Zhu Da with his eyes. On this occasion, he was not required to show his attention.
The ground is very flat and there is no trace of water wells, which is even more wrong. There are rubbles everywhere in the ruins and ruins and broken bricks, and here is no exception. But the similarities here are the most wrong things. It is really that various waste materials are stuffed into the wells, either concave or full. This seems to be on the flat ground.
Three years of experience also worked at this time. Although Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun noticed something wrong, the two seemed to be wandering around. When they walked over there, they stepped on the ground with their feet. The ground was solid and nothing seemed wrong. Zhu Da rubbed his feet against the ground that turned out to be a well. This kick rubbed a lot of sand and soil, with one layer on top and something else underneath.
"Something is wrong, bring people in to see you at night." Zhu Da said in a muffled voice. He and Zhou Qingyun continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
Originally, I just had to take a quick look. After the episode just now, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun tacitly walked around the Zheng family's house, but they only saw the wrong place.
The front water well, which was already flat, was ordinary in the eyes of others. The Zheng family was dead. How could people later know that this was a water well? If Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun had not been familiar with the rules of the Zheng family and were aware of many tricks in the world, they would probably not have found that this was wrong.
From time to time, they could occasionally see a few people searching everywhere. After seeing Zhu Da and others, they often looked bad. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun also showed off their weapons without hesitation, and both sides were still at peace.
"Take people in now?"
"Let's talk about it after dark. If you dig out something at this time, not only the teams inside and outside the encirclement, but also the caravans in the yard must participate, and the news will spread everywhere."
The two briefly talked and decided the constitution. When Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun walked out, they did not let Zhao Sheng continue to lead the way. Zhao Sheng was so happy that he ran away quickly. He turned around and disappeared. He didn't know where he hid. After Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun got on the horse, they immediately accelerated outward. When they came, they were not too slow and were in a heavy mood, but when they left, they drove their mounts to run quickly.
After returning to the yard, the hired workers and the handlebars were relaxed. There were no other caravans in the yard, and it was empty and quiet. Everyone knew that after this business, it was time to go back to the city next. Although no one knew what would happen in the future, this time he came out and experienced bloody experiences and was frightened a lot, and on the other hand he gained a lot. Each of the hired workers had to have more than three taels of silver and were actually worth a real silver and copper coins. The handlebars were more. With this harvest, it was not a big problem for everyone to maintain food and clothing for more than a year.
The handlebars have more experience, but this is the first time that the hired workers have experienced such a life. Although they are frightened and afraid, now everyone is still a little excited and frightened. The excitement is because they have experienced so much cessation, and the frightened is because everyone feels that they will never be willing to farm and work again. If they are willing, everyone will have a new future. How will this future be? There are very few people who can think clearly about it, but everyone is very frightened about this future because this is a life they have never experienced or even thought about.
"Eat supper before the sun sets. Now everyone packs up their weapons. Everyone has to bring four throwing wooden guns and feed the animals in the handlebars. We have to be busy tonight." Zhu Da said loudly.
I thought Zhu Da would order his trip and return when he came back, but he never thought that he would give such an order. However, the hired workers and a few handlebars would not question it, but immediately followed suit and the yard became busy and lively.
"You and Ji Xiaodong go to other courtyards to buy picks and shovels, tools that can dig soil. If someone asks you what you want to do, you just say I want to take you to the soil enclosure to dig treasures." Zhu Da called Li He and Ji Xiaodong over and asked them to go out for work.
The three words "digging treasures" made Li He and Ji Xiaodong widen their eyes. Zhu Da is a steady and resourceful person. Although he is in his teens, he is as mature as a thirty or forty. It is really shocking to say "digging treasures" in his mouth.
Seeing the other party's shocked expression, Zhu Da was also amused and crying, but it was not the time to explain, but just signaled the other party to go quickly. He and Zhou Qingyun went in the circumference after lunch. They went back and forth, and the time was not enough.
When I started preparing, I realized that there were still many things needed, such as night lighting items such as lanterns and torches. However, other caravans of this type of business are not short of them, and it is very simple to make their own. However, after all this trouble, the caravans in the yard knew that the young boy from Huairen County was going to dig treasures in the circumference.
