Chapter 1 Distress (1)

Han Yiming, the young master of the Han family, left Hanjiazhuang for the second time when he was eighteen years old. The first time he left Hanjiazhuang was when he was sixteen. That year, Mr. Han personally took his only son to the county to take the exam. Although Han Yiming invited his husband to enlighten him since he was six years old, his qualifications were mediocre. Mr. Ren guided him in every way for several years, but he was only able to help the villagers write letters from his family. After the county examination, he lost his reputation. Although he was not good at studying, he was very popular in the village. He was kind-hearted and treated everyone in the village equally, no matter the rich or poor.

Mr. Han had some family resources, so he specially named his son Yiming to the gentleman who asked him to read the word. He actually hoped that he would make a big splash one day and have a job, so that his ancestors would have a bright face. However, he had to give up this idea after failing the county exam.

In the blink of an eye, Mr. Han saw that his friends from the village who were the same year as his beloved son had already started a family. He thought that the families he knew in the village were not compatible with his own family, so he specially entrusted an old friend from a neighboring county to find a marriage for him.

Not long after, an old fellow sent someone to come and said that he was looking for a good relative in the county and invited Mr. Han to meet him. He heard that there was also the daughter of a gentry who was a well-known figure and was about 16 years old. His furniture was also matched, and even his horoscope was very suitable. Mr. Han chose a good time and asked his servants to prepare a gift of wealth and horses, and took Han Yiming to his relative's house.

Although Hanjia Village is a medium-sized village, it is also the largest village in a radius of dozens of miles. There are hundreds of families living in it. There are fertile fields beside the farm. At the end of the fields, there are continuous bluestone mountains. The peaks of Bluestone Mountain are far from the tall and majestic, and there are no strange peaks and rocks. It is like ordinary mountains in the world, but there are continuous low peaks. Mr. Han is broad-minded and fat. After riding on the horse for a short time, he is so tired that his whole body is sore. He bumps in the carriage for another day. Seeing the red sun sets in the west, he calls Butler Yu to find a place to spend the night.

Climbing up a small hill, from a distance, there was still no people. I went down the hill and saw a bunch of fields among the weeds on the roadside. Mr. Han couldn't help but say, "I remember this was a small village with more than a dozen families. The fifth family in the village was named Wang. When we were in the Yiming County test two years ago, we passed by here and lived in his house. Why is it like this now?" Mr. Yu said, "It's true, but this place is too small, and we can't open a few acres of good fields. I abandoned this place and found another place, and there are some."

It turned out that Mr. Han planned to spend the night here, but at this time he saw the decay of land and the ten families of the past disappeared. Even the houses they lived in had already collapsed and decayed, so he had to walk forward again. After walking for another half an hour, it was already sunny and a mountain. Turning over a valley, a river about three meters wide turned out from the opposite valley. There was a simple single-wood bridge on the river surface, and there were several simple wooden houses on the other side.

Seeing that there were chickens and dogs in front of the wooden house, there were firewood piled up against the wall, and there were grains drying in the open space in front of the door, Mr. Han said to Mr. Yu, "You go and ask, it will be a good thing for others. Let's take a break here tonight." Mr. Yu hesitated and said, "Master, this place is not close to the village, and the back is not close to the store. I'm afraid there is something wrong with this family." Mr. Han said, "The Qingshi Mountain is dozens of miles in radius, and there are only a few small villages along the road, and it's still far apart. This family has chickens and dogs piled up with grains and firewood. They are also an ordinary farmer hunter. If you don't rest here tonight, you will sleep in the wilderness." When Mr. Yu was right, he went to the family to stay.

There was only one man in the family, very cheerful, and said, "There are no pedestrians in the world who take the house to travel. I have few people in my family and are hunters. Everyone has gone to the mountains to hunt. I am afraid I won't come back in the past or two days. I don't want to give it back. If I don't dislike it, just keep it." He said, "When I was hunting two days ago, I was bitten by a wolf and couldn't walk and could not go over to greet me. I can only wait here. If I don't hurt this leg, I will go into the mountains with my family today. You will be denied." But Mr. Yu talked to him, but he looked carefully and saw him leaning on a stick.

He had a thick cloth strap wrapped around his legs, and his body was crooked when walking. There was no one in the house, and he felt a little nervous. But this time, he came out, because of the carriages and horses, and brought six or seven followers. He was only one, and he was malicious and had many people, so he would not suffer any losses. He was even more powerful than sleeping in the wilderness. If he encountered a pack of wolves, these farm managers were strong, but they were useless. After thinking about the pros and cons for a while, he went over to pick up the Han family father and son and the followers. He cleaned the house and arranged dinner. Butler Yu was very careful, even more careful when he was busy with food.

Mr. Han has always been less tired, and soon after dinner, he fell asleep. Although Han Yiming rarely went out and was quite excited, it was extremely hard to bump on the horse's back, and he fell asleep soon after. Butler Yu next door was worried and dared not fall asleep. After a while, he saw nothing unusual, and slowly closed his eyelids.

Just as he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard a slight sound outside the door. He woke up in shock and heard the sound of footsteps walking into the main hall. Butler Yu was always worried and quietly got up, touched the door, and looked out through the crack of the door. He saw more than ten people coming in the main hall, all of whom were clothed and burly. He led the lead and said to the person who was sitting in the main hall with his legs injured: "Brother Hu, why are there so many cars and horses outside the door?" Brother Hu said: "A guest came to stay, that was the guest's carriage."

The man with a thick voice immediately lowered his voice and said, "Do you have passed..." Brother Hu said, "No. I don't know when you will come back, but I injured my leg again. There is someone on the other side, so I dare not move lightly. But since you are back, we might as well..."

Butler Yu was shocked and sweated coldly on his back. The father and son of the Han family have always been generous and have no power to tie a chicken. Six or seven followers are just strong patriarchs and have no ability to be superior to others. He cared carefully all the way, but unexpectedly fell into the thief's nest. At this time, he knew why he was always restless. It was a bit strange that no one saw women in this family. No matter how good the family was, they should have women in the house. But at this time, they realized that it was too late. Seeing that they all took their own knives and sticks and walked towards them, they were so anxious that they were sweating from behind the door, but they had no choice.

The father and son of the Han family were tired for a day and had a good night. When they woke up in the morning, it was already two days. The two put on their clothes, shoes and socks, but they did not see Butler Yu knocking on the door. Mr. Han said, "I was tired yesterday and I couldn't get up today." He shouted twice, and the door of the house was pushed open with a "bang" and several big men rushed in. They all had swords and sticks. As soon as they entered the room, a man rushed forward and grabbed Mr. Han and said, "What are you calling?"

Mr. Han was shocked at first, but he was not stupid. After a moment, he woke up and said, "All heroes, I have something to say. If you want the property we carry with you, just take it away." But he had never seen this formation before, and his words could not help but tremble. The man said, "What are you carrying with you? Where are you carrying with you? Let me tell you that when you enter this door, you will take our surname." Mr. Han calmed down and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it's all of you heroes." The man said, "You come to the door yourself, no wonder I am." He looked them up and down.

Han Yiming had never seen this formation before and was so scared that he was trembling. The man grabbed Master Han and said, "You are from Hanjiazhuang thirty miles away? In this radius of dozens of miles, only Hanjiazhuang is still a medium-sized village, with some money." He looked Master Han up and down and said, "If you dress like this, your family will be a little rich."
