I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1057 'Humble house'

But after hearing what he said, Li Tian became interested instead.

They estimated that they would have to wait here for about three days. It would be much more convenient if there was a guy who knew this place by his side as a guide.

Just when Li Tian was about to use this excuse to spare him, Zhang Qinghuan and others who had been resting upstairs ran down when they heard the sound of muskets.

Seeing that Li Tian was teaching a bully-like person, they were all surprised.

"Young master, what are you doing?"

"Why did you come down? The matter here has been resolved, so go back quickly!"

"Don't go back, the room upstairs is too small, it can't sleep the three of us at all!"

Speaking of which, Zhang Qinghuan glanced at Sun Ruowei with some complaints,

"Ruowei, a dead girl, sleeps very dishonestly, always tossing and turning, but she herself sleeps very comfortably, and can't wake up no matter how much she screams."

Li Tian smiled wryly,
"Then what should we do, we really can't get any more vacant rooms here...how about we send it back!"

"I don't want to go back. I lived on the boat for half a month and finally got ashore. I don't want to go back and suffer again!"

Just when Li Tian didn't know how to solve the problem of how many people slept.

The bald man lying on the ground begging for mercy suddenly said,

"If you guys don't dislike it, why don't you go to the humble house. Although the humble house is not the biggest and best here, it's not a problem for everyone to have a place to sleep."

Upon hearing this, the three of Zhang Qinghuan all set their eyes on Li Tian, ​​as if they all agreed.

Li Tian thought for a moment, then said,

"Okay then, let's go to your house and have a look... lead the way!"

Seeing that Li Tian agreed, the bald head jumped up as if he had received an amnesty, as if nothing happened, and turned into a diligent dog leg, ignoring the contemptuous looks from other heads, and hurried to the front to lead the way.

This small town is not too big, and a few people soon came to this bald so-called 'humble house'!
The courtyard with high walls, pavilions and pavilions occupy a vast area. At first glance, it is not something that ordinary people can own.

Li Tian was a little surprised.
"This is what you call a 'humble house'?
Unexpectedly, your kid is actually a rich man! "

The strong man said with some shame,

"It's all the shadow of our ancestors, so my house looks glamorous on the surface, but inside..."

When he said this, it aroused the curiosity of several people.

Following the bald head into the gate, the scenery inside almost made everyone exclaim again.

I saw that the places that should have been pavilions are now full of broken tiles, and the original vermilion doors and windows are either holes or spider webs everywhere.

If the gate was not still there, Li Tian and the others almost thought they had entered a ruin.

The bald head led the way without saying a word, and it didn't take long to bring everyone to a side courtyard.

Although this small courtyard is also very dilapidated, it seems that it is often cleaned and tidied by people, so it looks clean and tidy.

The bald head kicked open the not-so-strong door, and shouted inside,
"Old man, get up quickly, there are guests coming, prepare a few places where you can sleep."

Probably because he sweated too much in the restaurant just now, or maybe the food and drink were too salty, and his bald head was a little thirsty.

He lifted the lid of a water tank in the small yard, scooped up a ladle of cold water and drank it in big gulps.

Looking at him like this, he seems to be quite familiar with this.

This made Li Tian and the others even more confused.

There is a clean small courtyard in a dilapidated old family home, and there is still a man who is called "old and immortal" by the bald head living in it.

There are many indications that this bald man does not seem to be a person who can tidy up the courtyard.

Who is the person living here, and what is the relationship with the bald head?

Just when several people were puzzled, an old figure came out of a room holding a dim oil lamp.

"Son, you're finally back, let mother see if you got hurt from fighting again!"

As soon as this name was called out, everyone was taken aback, but they didn't wait for a few of them to react.

The bald man waved his hand violently, and pushed the old woman who came forward to care about him aside.

"You don't need to worry about it, these are all distinguished guests, hurry up and prepare a few clean rooms..."

The old woman didn't seem to be in good health, she almost fell to the ground after being pushed by him like this, if it wasn't for Sun Ruowei's sharp hands and quick eyesight, she might have fallen down.

Sun Ruowei couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately changed his face and scolded,
"You bastard, do you still have a conscience to be so unreasonable to your own mother!"

The bald man looks fierce and has a bad temper, but he was frightened by Li Tian's shot before, and his heart trembled, and he was very afraid of them.

With a very erratic look in his eyes,

"She's not my mother, my mother died a long time ago!"

"Nonsense, I just heard clearly that the old man called your son!"

The old woman didn't know which muscle was wrong, so she turned around and said to Li Tian and the others,

"Dear guests, don't be angry, I will help you prepare the room right now..."

Although the bald-headed approach made Li Tian and the others very unhappy, but it was family affairs after all, and it was not easy for them to participate too much.

Li Tian gently pulled Sun Ruowei, telling her to stop talking.

The bald head invited Li Tian and others into a place that looked like a living room with a flattering face.

In the room, apart from a dilapidated table and a few chairs, there was nothing else, and even the teapot on the table was broken.

I don't know where it was picked up from.

Seeing such a shabby room, Li Tian muttered with a wry smile,

"You guys are not lying, this place is indeed a humble house!"

At that moment, he said with some embarrassment,

"Actually, my family's ancestors also had a good time, especially my family's ancestor, who was a hero who fought countless battles with his grandfather.

This huge family business was also earned by the ancestors with military exploits. "

"It's a pity that more than 20 years ago, my grandfather's generation followed the wrong people. The whole family had dozens of members, some were exiled, and some were exiled.

Because I was still young, I escaped a catastrophe...

Although the person survived, the family business was completely destroyed..."

When I heard that it was more than 20 years ago, I counted the time, and it should be the time period of the Jingnan Battle.

In this way, this bald head can be regarded as one of the orphans of Jing Nan affected by the war.

Having the same fate as him, Sun Ruowei immediately changed his attitude towards this guy 180 degrees.

"Then how have you survived all these years!"

The bald head gave a wry smile, as if caught in a long memory,

"My house is said to be dilapidated, but I still have some property. I sold some furniture in the first few years, and I can barely make ends meet!"

"But then..."
