Borrow the day to change the day

Phi Island is where Dongjiang Jianzhen is located. It is about fifteen miles from east to west and ten miles from north to south. The northern coast is only [-] nautical miles away from the boundary of Jianlu.

Most of the dwellings on Phi Island are scattered in the southern part of the island, the northern part is dominated by barracks, and the General Military Mansion is in the middle.

After Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Yingyuan changed into plain clothes, they quietly left the side door of the General Military Mansion with only a few guards including Lu Da and Lu Er.

With so few guards, only Lu Xiangsheng has the confidence.

"Liheng, didn't you hear that this island is the largest island, and there are many Liao people who fled back to Daming? Why can't we see any people along the way?" Lu Xiangsheng strode along a small path that had been sorted out. As he walked forward, he asked Yan Yingyuan beside him.

"Jiutai, I know more about it than you do. You can see some houses in front of you, just go and ask." Yan Yingyuan smiled wryly, then pointed to some thatched houses in front of him and said.

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it too. Yan Yingyuan came to Denglai with him, and the information he came into contact with was not as big as his own, so how could he give himself an answer.

He looked at the dwellings in front of him, then quickened his pace and rushed forward.

It is good for this person to have tall legs and long legs. When he walks like this, others have to walk fast to keep up with him.

When Lu Xiangsheng and his party approached the residential houses over there, they saw some people appearing in those thatched houses one after another, and then they all walked towards the seaside.

Lu Xiangsheng looked strange, walked a little faster again, stopped a half-grown child in ragged clothes, sallow and thin, and asked, "Where are you going?"

The half-grown child saw that the people who stopped him were all neatly dressed and had ruddy complexions.Knowing that it is not someone from the island, it is likely to be a businessman who came with that court official.Although the person in front of him was very tall and looked mighty, but he couldn't care less, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Can I have something to eat?"

In Mao Wenlong's time, there were businessmen who often came to Phi Island for business, so the child's first thought was that Lu Xiangsheng was a businessman.

Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback when he heard this, but seeing the child's longing eyes, he had no choice but to turn around and ask, "Does any of you have any belts?"

Neither Yan Yingyuan nor Lu Xiangsheng's guards had the habit of bringing food with them.

Seeing that no one else was there, Lu Xiangsheng was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak for a while.

The child had already seen that they had nothing to eat, and his face was full of disappointment, but he still said to Lu Xiangsheng: "The tide is going out, we are all going to the beach to wait, pick up some fish and go home to eat."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he squatted down, looked at the child and asked, "Why do you go, where is your family?"

The child didn't answer right away, looked up at the sky, then turned back to look at Lu Xiangsheng and replied: "My parents are dead at the hands of the Tartars, my elder brother is a soldier under Liu Dusi, my younger brother is too young, he is at home Lie down, and when I pick up the fish, I will have something to eat."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he cursed inwardly, the damn Tartar.Then he looked at the thatched cottage where the child had just come out, and asked him, "Can I go in and have a look?"

The child had seen the sky just now, and knew that there was still some time before the ebb tide, so he nodded, and then took the initiative to lead them back to his house.

His speed was not fast, and it made the long-legged Lu Xiangsheng who followed him walk very awkwardly, feeling like he was walking in small steps in a drama.

The thatched house of the child's house was the one closest to them. He first pushed open the hidden wooden door and walked in. Then he stood by the door and held the door with his hand so that the guests could walk in without hindrance.

Lu Xiangsheng bent down and walked in. The thatched house was a bit short, so he had to lower his head slightly so that his head did not touch the roof.

"Second Brother, is it that Big Brother is back? Have you eaten?" A weak and immature child's voice sounded from the corner of the room.

"No, there are guests coming in to take a look." The child by the door replied, and then said to Lu Er who was still about to squeeze into the room, "There are already three people inside, and we can't stand up."

As soon as Lu Er heard it, he smiled sarcastically, a little embarrassed, backed out, and stood outside.

Yan Yingyuan is not as tall as Lu Xiang, so he is a little more comfortable in the thatched house than him.

When he heard the sound, he went over to have a look, and found that there was only a wooden board as a bed, on which lay a little boy with a yellow and thin face, covered with a torn quilt, from the exposed arms, it seemed that he was not wearing any clothes, but he was There was no undressed clothes around.

The child smiled when he saw a guest leaning over to look at him.

Yan Yingyuan could see it clearly, and felt sore for no reason, this poor child is skinny and skinny!

Lu Xiangsheng had also seen the situation inside the house clearly, and he felt angry, but in this house, he still suppressed his anger and asked the child at the door: "Does your elder brother care about you?"

As soon as the child heard this, he immediately protested: "If it weren't for my elder brother, we would have disappeared long ago. You used to come here often when Marshal Mao was here. My elder brother was rewarded for his bravery in the war, so he can buy some food. I am reluctant to eat it, I would rather be hungry, and bring it home for us to eat."

Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback when he heard that, do we come here often?But he came to his senses right away, the kid might think of himself as a businessman.

"Brother also saves us half of our usual food." The child lying on the bed added after hearing what the second brother said.

"Can't you go to the beach to pick up fish to eat?" Lu Da, who entered the house, saw that the child's words were a bit exaggerated, so he reminded him.

The child gave him a dissatisfied look, and then said: "You will know how many fish one person can share when you go to the beach in a while."

"Second Brother, I miss Eldest Brother. He said that the court has paid his salary and there is still food. I want to eat. I'm so hungry." The child on the bed suddenly said.

It must be that the food and his elder brother were mentioned just now, which reminded him of this matter.

Listening to this immature and weak child's voice, and hearing the appeal of "very hungry", the three adults in the room felt uncomfortable.

When the kid at the door heard his younger brother's words, he said "hmm", and then said to Lu Xiangsheng and the others: "I'm going to the beach, if I don't go, I won't be able to catch fish."

When the three adults heard this, they all retreated in a hurry.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng got outside the house, he told Lu Er, "Go back and get some food for them."

Although Lu Er didn't enter the house, he heard the conversation in the house. He immediately agreed and ran back.

When the child who followed them out the door saw him, he immediately knelt down to Lu Xiangsheng, and said, "Thank you, master. Er Gouzi kowtowed to you. Er Gouzi wishes you a prosperous business and a wealth of wealth."

After speaking, prepare to kowtow.

Lu Xiangsheng grabbed his arm and pulled him up.In his heart, he felt that he was not worthy of this great gift.

Yan Yingyuan looked at the sensible child in front of him, and thought of the one lying in the room, and suddenly felt that his son was really happy.

Lu Xiangsheng knelt down and asked the child in front of him, "Are other families on the island in the same predicament as yours?"

The child shook his head, which made Lu Xiangsheng, Yan Yingyuan and others feel better.

But who would have thought that the child's answer surprised them greatly: "It's not bad to have my elder brother serving as a soldier in my family. Those civilian households are those near the seaside. The master will understand after going to have a look. If my brother and I are in that The people around have starved to death."

Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Yingyuan looked at each other after hearing this, and both could see the heaviness in each other's eyes.
