The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 372 The family should be neat and tidy

Zha Hui cried "oh" and quickly covered his mouth, fearing that his crying would disturb the large-scale family recognition scene that was moving in front of him.

Pan Mei turned her back and secretly wiped her tears, but turned around and looked at Zha Hui with a mocking look.

Hu Guangyue choked up and said softly: "Master Hou is favored by God. From now on, he will no longer be alone in this world."

Pan Mei nodded sympathetically and glanced at him: "I heard that both of your parents died when you were young?"

Hu Guangyue wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "Yan Ping, Chen An and I are both orphans of the Zhangyi Army. My father died in the war, and my mother died after contracting an illness and could not be cured. She was adopted by Shi Jieshuai in the army since she was a child. , and some other orphans did some work of fetching water and cutting firewood, and when they grew up, they naturally joined the Changyi Army.
I learned martial arts well, so I was selected by the old commander to join Tashan City.
If I hadn't followed the Marquis, I would have been just an ordinary soldier in Tushan City.
The kindness the Marquis has shown us will never be repaid in a lifetime~~"

Pan Mei muttered: "If I hadn't met Mr. Zhu, my old Pan would still be living in a nursing home."

The two looked at each other and grinned as if they felt each other's feelings.

Pan Mei pursed her lips and whispered to the Zhu family members who were hugging each other and crying: "Our lives have all undergone great changes because of Zhu Xiu, and this family has also been the same."

The two quietly exited the cargo hold, leaving this tender moment to a family they had just met.

~~~
Suddenly being hugged tightly by a strange aunt and a strange strong man, one crying for his son and the other crying for his brother, to be honest, Zhu Xiu felt complicated and resistant inside.

But the bizarre life story he made up on the spur of the moment turned out to be exactly the same as the Zhu family's lost young son in the early years, which made Zhu Xiu feel quite outrageous.

Especially the scar on his left buttocks. The scar is so shallow that you can't even see it unless you look closely.

Zhu Xiu swore that he didn't have any scars on his butt in his previous life. He had no idea where this scar came from.

The reason why he knew about the existence of this scar was because one year in Jingzhou, when he and Shi Lingyan secretly hid in the room and played the game of eating grapes with the little white rabbit, they were discovered by the sharp-eyed young lady.

Zhu Wu, a man from Haozhou whom he had just met, knew that the existence of this scar could only mean one thing, everything he said was true!
They are indeed brothers born from the same mother's womb!

Zhu Xiu was almost strangled to death, but Wu Youdi and Zhu Wu were willing to let go. They pulled Zhu Xiu to sit down, one on the left and the other on the right.

Zhu Xiu smiled dryly and looked at Wu Youdi, who was in tears. He opened his mouth, but the word "mother" was stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it out.

In his mind, his mother was still the same person from the previous life, now in another time and space.

The person in front of me is emotionally unable to accept it for the time being.
Wu Youdi's red and swollen eyes flashed with disappointment. She wiped her tears to calm down her emotions, held Zhu Xiu's hand tightly, and murmured: "It's okay, it's okay. It was my mother who lost you and made you suffer. I don't recognize it." Mom is fine too”

Zhu Xiu smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and said softly: "Although the child was mentally prepared for this before going south, it is still difficult to accept it calmly. Please, please give me some time."

Wu Youdi was both happy and sad at the same time. She hugged him tightly, rested her head on his shoulder, and choked with sobs: "You still speak in such a formal manner, just like when you were a child, it hasn't changed at all!"

Zhu Wu wiped away his tears and said with a silly grin: "Brother, it's good if you come back. It's okay. Let's admit it slowly! Sooner or later, you have to call me mother!"

Zhu Xiu forced a smile and cupped her hands: "Brother!"

Zhu Wu smiled from ear to ear, hurriedly imitating his gesture and cupped his hands: "Hey~oh~brother is suffering!~"

Yang Qiaolian smiled and said: "My brother-in-law has been away from home for many years, and his spiritual throne has been enshrined for many years. Unexpectedly, a living person appears again. It is really an eye-opener for God~"

Zhu Wu glared at his mother-in-law unhappily: "My brother is so alive here. It's unlucky to say that his spiritual position is not in his spiritual position!"

Yang Qiaolian rolled her eyes at him: "That's right! Mom and I held the two spiritual tablets and wiped them countless times. Why can't we say it?"

Zhu Liang said loudly: "My uncle's piece of cards has been thrown away a long time ago, and only my grandson's is left in his pocket."

Zhu Xiu laughed and rubbed the baby's head.

Yang Qiaolian said excitedly: "Look at my brother-in-law's attitude, could he be an official in the north?"

Zhu Xiu smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is smart, I do have an official status." Yang Qiaolian's eyes shone, and she lowered her voice excitedly and wanted to ask more questions. Zhu Wu pushed her angrily and said unhappily: "My brother just talked to us. I recognize you, why are you asking so many questions?"

Yang Qiaolian said unconvinced: "Our brother-in-law has become an official and must have come to take us to the north to enjoy the blessings. What's wrong? This is the glory of our Zhu family. It means that our father and our ancestors have blessed us. It’s going to be developed!~”

Zhu Wu felt that he had been humiliated by his mother-in-law, and cursed in embarrassment: "You ignorant mother-in-law, shut up! My brother was in trouble. He was captured by the Khitan people at a young age. He must have suffered a lot. , I have suffered a lot of sins, but you, my sister-in-law, don’t care about these things, you just talk nonsense!”

Yang Qiaolian was also angry. She put her hands on her waist and raised her chest, shouting: "Our uncle is capable. He has endured hardships and suffered, but he is still alive and kicking. Now he is an official! Didn't you see that our uncle is now... There are followers around me, and when I make a move, I have such a large amount of money, so generous!
If our family hadn't met my uncle this time, everyone in our family would have been killed by the Zhou family!
I finally escaped death, so why don’t I ask a few more questions?Don't you want to live a good life?Don’t you want your two children to have a bright future?Do you still want to farm, carry bags, and starch and wash clothes like us?My mother’s legs have been cold for several years, and she can’t even get a medicine from Jichuntang in the city.”

The more Yang Qiaolian talked, the more bitter she became, and her tears fell down.

Zhu Wu was speechless, lowered his head and sighed.

Zhu Xiu looked at Wu Youdi's curled up legs and frowned: "Your legs?"

Wu Youdi shook her head and said with a smile: "It's an old problem, it doesn't matter."

Wu Youdi comforted her daughter-in-law: "Don't cry. You have been married to my Zhu family for many years, and you have worked really hard for me."

Yang Qiaolian choked with tears and said: "Mom, I don't mean to dislike our family. I married Da Lang. I was born as a Zhu family member and died as a Zhu family ghost. No matter how hard or tired I am, I can bear it! It's just our brother-in-law. Coming back and being so promising, this is God opening his eyes and sending a great blessing to our family!

It doesn't matter how we live the rest of our lives, we just don't want our two children to suffer after us!
This time around the Zhou family, I’m really scared. It’s not a big deal if we die. It’s just that Liangwa and Daya were still so young, so they almost suffered the murder of the Zhou family.”

Zhu Liang hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Mom, don't cry. I will learn martial arts from my master. When I grow up, I will protect my mother and protect the Zhu family. No one can bully my family!"

Yang Qiaolian hugged her son tightly with joy.

Zhu Xiu smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Although I am not a high official, I can still protect my family's safety."

Yang Qiaolian nodded vigorously with joy and gratitude.

Zhu Wu hurriedly said: "Brother, I don't have much ability, I only have a handful of strength. Just tell me what to do!"

Zhu Xiu thought for a while and said: "Brother, please protect your family. I will arrange for someone to take you to a place later. You can hide there for now. If I don't come back at dawn tomorrow morning, someone will take you out of the city."

As long as they reach Jiangbei, there will be people to help them, and the family can be safe. "

Wu Youdi said nervously: "Brother Xiu, what about you?"

Zhu Xiu smiled and said, "It may take me a few days to see you again."

Wu Youdi didn't even think about it, and said decisively: "No! Our family has finally met each other, and we can never be separated again! If you don't leave, my mother won't leave either! At most, the two children will be sent away, and we will stay with you!"

"Yes! Let's go together!" Zhu Wu also said.

Yang Qiaolian also looked at him firmly.

"We're not leaving either!" Zhu Liang and Zhu Fang shouted.

Zhu Xiu smiled bitterly, not knowing how to persuade.

Pan Mei stepped into the cargo hold and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhu Xiu nodded, called Cha Hui, pointed at him and said: "He is a native of Jiangning and is familiar with the situation. I will arrange for him to take you to a safe place. You can wait for me there, and then we will leave the city and go north together!"

When Wu Youdi and Zhu Wu saw that he promised to leave as a family, they agreed to follow Zha Hui to evacuate first.
