Chapter 32 The city gate opens

"Brother Ma, if you are interested, I can also teach you." Chu Zheng looked at Ma Yong and said slowly.

After a day of contact, he has discovered that the Mayong couple are very real people and worthy of friendship.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It is good to have one more person to help you.

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Ma Yong looked embarrassed and said, "I can't do it. I'm stupid and can't learn at all."

Speaking of this, he looked at his son and said hesitantly: "Brother Chu, can you teach Xiang'er?"

When he said this, there was some light in his eyes. I wonder if it was caused by the light of the bonfire.

"Teach your son?" Chu Zheng was slightly startled, then looked at the little boy who was sleeping soundly next to his mother.

Then he looked to the side again, the little girl who was looking at him and Ma Yong.

It was obvious that Ma Yong did not intend for his daughter to learn to read from him.

To a certain extent, this favors boys over girls.

But Chu Zheng had no idea what to say to Ma Yong.

Preferring boys over girls would definitely be wrong in modern times on earth.

But no matter what time it is, it must be viewed in light of the times. The world today is still in the period of the feudal dynasty, and the overall atmosphere favors boys over girls.

It is simply unrealistic for you to have a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back turned to the sky and have such advanced ideas as equality between men and women.

"Okay." Chu Zheng nodded, and then said: "When we enter Qamdo, let Niuer come and learn."

When Ma Yong heard this, he was startled and said, "Can girls also learn it?"

Then he nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "Thank you so much, Brother Chu. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask me."

Chu Zheng was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Ma Yong would become happy when he heard that he was teaching the other party's daughter to learn calligraphy.

I originally wanted to persuade him, but I swallowed it hard.

Chu Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "You are serious."

After saying that, he continued to look at the exercises in his hands.

Although this technique contains many Buddhist terms, it is a bit difficult for Chu Zheng to read, but it can be overcome.

This is not because Chu Zheng had studied Buddhism in his previous life, but this book should be the original copy left by the three flower-picking thieves.

There are dense notes on it.

Many obscure places are written very clearly.

Even some meridians and acupuncture points were drawn in some blank areas.

It can almost be said to be a step-by-step tutorial.

Obviously, the three flower pickers had to work hard to learn this technique.

"Rumble..."

The thunder outside became a little louder, and thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, turning into a thunder net and covering the earth.

A night of silence.

The next day, when the storm subsided, when Chu Zheng opened the shed, the sun had already risen outside.

When the sun shines on a person, it brings a long-lost warmth, as if it were a lifetime ago.

"Brother Chu, do we still need someone to stay here to guard?" Ma Yong followed Chu Zheng out and asked.

There is still firewood here, but it will be bad if someone steals it.

"No need." Chu Zheng shook his head.

According to Chen Ming, a hundred households with beauties, Qamdo will open its doors today to let refugees in.

Therefore, there is no use in staying here.

When Ma Yong saw Chu Zheng saying this, although he didn't know why, he still didn't say anything.

After some recent events, this young man has established a certain amount of trust in his heart.

The maturity and stability shown by the other party prevented him from truly treating the other party as a real teenager.

And if it weren't for the other party, his family would probably have died in that cold wave.

Afterwards, Chu Zheng and others packed up their things and headed towards Qamdo.

Along the way, there were also many refugees heading towards Qamdo with them.

The condition of these refugees is not very good. After a day of sleet and another day of heavy rain, most of those who can survive now only have half their lives left.

After arriving at Qamdo, Chu Zheng saw that the city gate of Qamdu was indeed opened.

There are also some people coming in and out.

When the refugees saw the situation, they were very excited and ran towards Qamdo. Even if their bodies were covered with mud and water, they didn't care at all.

Seeing this situation, Ma Yong pursed his lips and said in a trembling voice: "We can be saved. We can be saved."

He knew very well that if Qamdo City did not let go, even if they prepared some more wood, it would be difficult for them to survive. Now that the Qamdo City Gate is open, they are really saved!

Chu Zheng watched all this silently, without any disturbance in his heart.

The gate of Qamdo Prefecture was opened not because some people were kind-hearted, but because enough people had died to meet the criteria for opening the gate.

Then, Chu Zheng and others followed the flow of people and walked towards Qamdo.

When he arrived near the city gate, Chu Zheng saw a notice posted on the city gate.

The notice was very short and only said two pieces of information.

One is that the rebel army was wiped out by the official army yesterday, and Qamdo Palace opened its doors to allow refugees to enter.

Another thing is that in the past month, Qamdo Prefecture has been giving out porridge at the city gate to provide disaster relief.

"Has the bandit army been wiped out?" Chu Zheng was thinking about the team of beauties he met the day before yesterday.

Perhaps the annihilation of these bandits had something to do with the captured man.

"Brother Chu, it's our turn." At this moment, Ma Yong on the side reminded Chu Zheng.

"Yeah." Chu Zheng came back to his senses and no longer thought about this.

What do these things have to do with him?

"Name, place of origin?" When entering the city gate, a middle-aged clerk was recording the roster.

"Ma Yong, these are my wife and children, both of whom are from Shanglong Village." Ma Yong said quickly.

The clerk nodded and wrote down the names of several people.

Then, he looked at Chu Zheng and Chu Qingqing and asked, "Where are you?"

"Chu Zheng, from Qingchuan, this is my sister, Chu Qingqing." Chu Zheng pointed at himself and said to Chu Qingqing next to him.

Yu Rong and Ma Yong on the side were not surprised at all.

After spending two days with the Chu Zheng siblings, if they still can't tell that Chu Qingqing is a woman, then their eyes are no different than being blind.

When the clerk heard this, he glanced at Chu Qingqing next to him, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can go over."

Chu Zheng nodded and prepared to go.

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, the clerk frowned and suddenly called Chu Zheng.

"Open this package." He pointed at the iron piece wrapped in a long cloth strip in Chu Zheng's hand and said in a deep voice.

When the surrounding soldiers heard the officer's words, they all gathered around and stared at Chu Zheng coldly, their palms already on the handle of the knife.

The city gate fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the place became a little stagnant for a moment.
