The fifth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty

Severe drought

Wenxi County, Shanxi

The scorching sun above his head was scorching the earth, and the riverbed near the village had already exposed the riverbed. In this weather where the dogs didn't want to move, Pei Xiaoer walked quickly on the path full of floating soil. There was no way, who made his family lose food.

It's right.

"How could I come to such a damn place?" Pei Xiaoer muttered in his heart.

That's right, Pei Xiaoer is the legendary time traveler, but he is a little different from others. He travels through time or he is either a king, prince, general, or a minister. He has a series of little maids to serve him as a child. His life is so beautiful.

The kind of suffering is deep and the revenge is deep, and dozens of people in the family are killed.

Pei Xiaoer's family in this life is still fine at present. The family has two acres of land, and he also rented more than ten acres of land from his nearby landlord, Mr. Pei, who lives a tight life. But he can live a life even if he makes do with it.

However, after the Chinese New Year this year, there is no rain. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be another year of disaster.

Pei Yuanwai lives in Peijiazhuang. When Pei Xiaoer walked to Peijiazhuang, the sun had not yet reached the center. However, the village was in chaos.

"Hurry, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, here the walls will be raised and there, why do you leave such a big gap there? Are you afraid of death too slowly? Keep it up quickly.

The bandits arrived at the door of their house immediately, why are you still slowing down? It was Pei Decai, the housekeeper of Pei's house.

Pei Decai stood at the gate of the village so anxious that he almost jumped up. He kicked a lazy man to the ground, "Hurry up, are you deaf?"

Looking up, seeing Pei Xiaoer coming towards the sun, Pei Decai shouted, "Waiter? What are you doing? But it happened to be right. He went to inform the tenants from several nearby villages and asked them to come to the village. The master was very kind.

They are allowed to go into the village to hide. The bandits are about to come, so that all those who don’t want to die will come over."

Pei Decai and Pei Xiaoer's family have some connections. Pei Decai's father and Pei Xiaoer's grandfather are cousins. Pei Decai's grandfather died early, and his father grew up under Pei Xiaoer's grandfather. Later, Pei Decai's father went there.

When Mr. Pei went to work as a long-term worker at home, he would have less contact in the future.

However, with this relationship, Pei Decai is quite considerate of Pei Xiaoer's family. Last time, Pei Daddy went to Pei Yuanwai's house to borrow grain, Pei Decai also said some good things next to him.

Pei Xiaoer bowed his fists and said in embarrassment: "Uncle Pei, the food at home is out of stock. Can you ask Uncle Pei to report to Mr. Pei? I want to borrow more food."

Pei Xiaoer was a little ashamed. After all, he had never done such a thing in his previous and present lives. His family was in good condition in his previous life, so he directly sent his parents to the system after graduating from college. He never had to worry about food and drink.

Pei Decai looked at Pei Xiaoer suspiciously and said, "Borrow grain? Didn't you just lend it to your family five dou last month?"

Pei Xiaoer sighed and said nothing.

In this life, my mother left early and left two sons. Pei Xiaoer had an older brother. She has been smart since she was a child and loved studying and is loved by her parents.

This preference can only be seen from the names of the three brothers. His brother is Pei Yingcai, but his brother is Pei Xiaoer and Pei Xiaosan.

Back then, Pei Yingcai also wanted to inspire to study and change the fate of his family, and even passed the exam. Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected and he died of illness.

The five dou of wheat I borrowed last time had to be eaten for a while as planned, but Pei Xiaosan drank unclean water and gave it to the doctor.

Pei Xiaoer, who had just crossed over, had a lot of business plans, but he could only die.

Seeing that Pei Xiaoer didn't say anything, Pei Decai sighed and said, "Waiter, you also know that the rain has not yet fallen this year, and it is probably the year of the great wilderness."

Speaking of this, Pei Decai sighed and continued, "The master is a bodhisattva. He will do his best to help anyone with any matter. But now there are refugees everywhere, and even if he is rich, he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand such troubles. What's more, the bandits in Shaanxi have recently fled.

Shanxi, Mr. Pei still needs to recruit Zhuang Ding..."

Speaking of Zhuang Ding, Pei Decai suddenly stopped and looked up and down at Pei Xiaoer. He slapped his forehead, and said, "Waiter, the master is recruiting servants. Once he applies for the recruitment, he will not only be selected, but also have three taels of silver.

The fee is also paid one or two taels of silver every month. How about it? Do you mean it?"

Pei Xiaoer was a little hesitant. He originally planned to participate in the imperial examination like his brother.

Although he also knew that the Ming Dynasty would be in peace in the next few years, and various peasant army uprisings began one after another. But for him, this was what he was best at.

From school to unit, he was able to do all kinds of exams, big and small, and ranked among the top. He was suddenly asked to give up what he was best at and fight with others to do it. He was really a little scared.

And to put it bluntly, the servants are their servants, not to mention that the bandits are already in front of them.

However, thinking about the situation at home, it is hard to say whether the bandits can survive without this food. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Uncle Pei, I'll listen to you, go and be a servant of this family."

Pei Decai grinned, revealing two rows of yellow teeth, "Okay, let's go, I'll take you to sign up for Teacher Chen."

Teacher Chen’s name is Chen Chao, a native of Liaodong. When Nurhaci captured Shenyang, he became a deserter and fled from Shenyang to the pass. He also worked in a business that had no money for several years.

However, the internal conflicts were not handled well, and the second in command usurped the power. He had no choice but to go to Peijiazhuang, and was taken in by Master Pei, and became the coach.

Chen Chao looked at the young man brought by Pei Decai. He was quite tall, but he was too thin, just like a maroon.

Chen Chao frowned and said to Pei Decai: "I said, Butler Pei, if you come here with such a stingy person, can he take the knife? Don't get into a bandit and be stabbed by someone else.

He's gone, isn't this nonsense?"

"It's okay, Teacher Chen, don't be careful about him being thin, but he's better than being honest and obedient." Pei Decai smiled and said to Pei Xiaoer, "Waiter, say hello to Teacher Chen."

Pei Xiaoer had no choice but to follow Pei Decai's words and bow to Chen Chao and said, "I've seen Teacher Chen."

"Okay, then try it." Chen Chao was a little impatient. However, Butler Pei still had to give him face.

After registering and receiving the settlement fee, Pei Xiaoer followed Pei Decai to exchange the silver he had just received for some food, and returned the grain he borrowed last month. The remaining food was rushed to his home.

Before leaving, Pei Decai pulled Pei Xiaoer and sighed, "Waiter, don't blame you Uncle Pei. In terms of love, you and my family are still within five sermons. Your grandfather raised my father very much.

.

Logically speaking, if you have something to do for your uncle, you should do your best. But you have difficulties with your uncle. Last year, my wife's family was bandited, and only one nephew escaped in the whole family.

Since the beginning of this year, my wife has proposed several times to the master to let her nephew Liu Sheng take over my position as housekeeper. I am now unable to protect myself as my uncle, and I have the will but not enough.”

After saying that, even tears appeared in Pei Decai's eyes. At the same time, he took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and put them in Pei Xiaoer's hands. "You can hold these, it's considered uncle, please feel free to take them first."

Seeing that what he said was so desolate, although he didn't know the truth or falsehood, he was still very grateful. So he clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Pei, I can understand your difficulties. It's also good to be Zhuang Ding. Thank you, Uncle Pei, please accept me.

Bye." After saying that, he bowed.

"Okay, okay, just be sure, you can know the difficulties of Uncle Wei. Go home quickly and take your father and brother to Peijiazhuang. The bandits will arrive soon."
