Chapter 1 Yishui Autumn Rain(1/2)

In the 46th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, early on the fourth day of the September 19th, Yiyuan County, Qingzhou Prefecture ushered in a silky rain.

Amid the sound of the rolling Yishui River, the small county as big as a palm was filled with rain and fog, and the temperature could not help but drop.

In the middle of this mother river that has nurtured millions of creatures, it is the core of Yiyuan County, the county government.

At this time, in front of the main gate of the Eight Characters, which was slightly dilapidated, but still imposing, a thin boy wearing a coarse blue cloth and carrying a small torn package, with a pretty face but a little dull and timid face, was like a helpless little quail, tightly huddled under the courtyard wall next to the yamen to shelter from the rain.

However, although the courtyard wall is slightly green, it cannot avoid much rain. If you are sheltering from the rain, it is more suitable to go to the main gate building.

But even though the boy's hair and shoulders were almost wet, his whole body was trembling, he only dared to pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and looked at the "magnificent" door, and did not dare to take a step forward.

That's-

Countless ordinary people seem to be born with fear of power!



"Why haven't my uncle come yet? What if the yamen runner opened the door and my uncle doesn't come yet, what should I do..."

In a short while, the young man's pretty little face had become a little blue with cold, and his expression became increasingly nervous, and he looked at the direction of the county government gate with uneasy.

His name is Li Chunlai.

He is less than seventeen years old this year and is from Quanzi Village, the west end of Yiyuan County and borders Laiwu.

Li Chunlai had been studying for several years when he was a teenager. The educational conditions may be limited, but if it goes smoothly, it may not be impossible to gain fame and fortune, and then glorify his ancestors and change his destiny.

However.

White clouds and green dogs, and things in the world are impermanent.

His father, who was originally capable, likes to plot and can live, developed a bad habit of gambling a few years ago. He not only lost dozens of acres of fertile land at home, but also sold several new houses when he got married.

Fortunately, Li Chunlai's mother, Yang, was strong. She used a kitchen knife to drive away the incompetent father and many people who wanted to pay, and guarded the old house with three thatched huts. Otherwise, the mother and the mother would have become lonely ghosts.

But even though he stayed in the old house, his family had no source of income. Li Chunlai suffered from a "rotten illness" that lasted for more than two years. His mother, Yang, could only help others with mixed work while taking care of his son. Life was very difficult, so Li Chunlai's books naturally couldn't read them.

It's okay. The mother and the mother can finally survive. As Li Chunlai grows up and gets better, he has hope.

But just a few days ago, Li Chunlai's father, who had been missing for several years, actually appeared in Yiyuan County again.

However, he secretly made a marriage for Li Chunlai!

According to Li Chunlai's conditions, having a marriage is naturally a great thing. After all, getting married is not easy. In the countryside, I don't know how many bachelors who will never marry a wife in their entire lives.

But what makes people grit their teeth!

The marriage that Li Chunlai's father told him was a big family, but he was almost thirty years old and had a very bad reputation. It was rumored that he was ruined at the age of thirteen or fourteen. He had experienced several husbands and killed several husbands, and wanted to "convene joy"!

This is the humblest son-in-law.

It's just selling your son!

How could Li Chunlai and his wife agree to this?

In the end, Yang had no choice but to take out the last bit of coffin board, borrowed more than two taels of silver from Li Chunlai's second sister, licked her face and went to her parents' home that she had not been in contact for many years, begging her elder brother, Li Chunlai's uncle who was in charge of Yishui business in the city, to find a livelihood of "protecting" by Li Chunlai.

Don't say it.

Although Yang had never studied, he had a good brain. She wanted to find a "tolerance" for Li Chunlai. In this way, even if the wealthy family was very powerful and quite arrogant, she was afraid that she would not be able to deal with Li Chunlai.

In the end, I don’t know what the conditions were for the Yang family to give Li Chunlai’s uncle, but this matter really happened.

Li Chunlai's uncle really helped Li Chunlai to work as a young constable in the county government.

"Mom, don't worry, my son will definitely put on an 'official robe' and eat 'imperial grain'. At that time, it will be clear who dares to bully us mother and mother again!"

Looking at the "magnificent" county munition in front of him, Li Chunlai's tender little face suddenly became a bit perverted and twisted. His dark eyes showed a fierceness that was extremely inconsistent with his age!

Fortunately, Li Chun came for a while and gasped heavily and returned to normal.

That's...

A huge secret hidden in his heart for more than two years and almost three years!

That's right.

In the two years when he was sick, he always had a strange nightmare and dreamed that there was an iron box running on the street. The house could be built higher than a mountain, and it went straight into the clouds. A small iron box box was pressed and it actually went up.

All kinds of things are simply incredible to Li Chunlai, and he really dares not even dream of it.

Especially those women's bodies that are lit and tempting as if they are not wearing clothes, Li Chunlai dreams of trying what a woman feels like...

What's more, Li Chunlai knew vaguely that this glorious Ming Dynasty would not last long...

However, Li Chunlai was a little dull by nature. He had never spoken to anyone about this, and even Yang had never said anything about it.

"Cruff."

Just as he was thinking about it, the heavy gate of the county government suddenly became opened.

Several doormen wearing standard green and red soap robes opened the door lazily. The man with a big beard on the leading side was still stretching, revealing his big yellow teeth and yawning.

Li Chunlai was immediately clever and subconsciously wanted to shrink.

Although he had never seen the "yamen runners" several times in his life, Li Chunlai was subconsciously scared just by looking at the soap robes on them.

"Um?"

"Where did you come from? What are you doing sneakily at the yamen?"

Poor Li Chunlai was almost merged with the wall behind him, but he still couldn't escape the old eyes of the leader. He immediately came to Li Chunlai in the rain with a sneer.

"Uncle, little, little..."

Even though Li Chunlai had many years of knowledge and experience that transcends the world, he was a rural boy. Facing the old man like the leader, he couldn't speak for a while.

In the end, he just held it out, 'His name is Li Chunlai, he is from Quanzi Village at the westernmost end.'

"Ha ha."

The leader suddenly laughed: "You are Li Xiaosanzi, Mr. Yang's nephew? Cheng, since Mr. Yang hasn't come over yet, please follow my Lao Wu in first. My name is Wang Wu, and you can just call me Wu brother in from now on."

While speaking, Wang Wu looked at Li Chunlai with a smile, with a little deeper meaning.

Li Chunlai actually understood what Wang Wu meant and wanted to ask him for some benefits, but how could he have any valuable things?

He didn't want to stay in the hotel last night, so he snatched a night on the bluestone slab in the alley not far away. The only hundred eldest sons had to keep them for dinner in the future, and he could not ask his mother for money anymore.

"Thank you, Brother Wu, thank you, Brother Wu, you will be your biological parents in the future..."

Li Chunlai is not stupid either. He has no money and can play with it. He ignored the mud stains of moss on the bluestone bricks under his feet, and directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Wu.

In the blink of an eye, my forehead was covered with mud.

Wang Wu's eyebrows suddenly frowned.

This stupid boy who doesn't have enough to pinch his head is really stunned, but he can be considered a good deal.

The main reason is that Li Chunlai's uncle is a sensible man. He had already taken care of him a few days ago. Seeing that Li Chunlai didn't look rich, he was wearing patches on his body, so he didn't make things difficult for Li Chunlai. He smiled and said, "Okay, silly boy, your man, don't be polite, go, follow your fifth brother in and have a rest."

As he said that, he pulled Li Chunlai and walked into the county government office.

How could he do this at this moment, according to the nature of the Manager Yang, how could he lose his benefits?

A simple task, two human relationships.

Perfect.

Li Chunlai obviously didn't know what Wang Wu was thinking at this time. Listening to Wang Wu and his friends talking and laughing, he was carefully looking at the scene in the yamen.

Even though he has so many mottled and brilliant experiences, this is the first time Li Chunlai has come to this power core in his life, and he can't help feeling weak.

The courtyard of the main hall of the Yamen is quite wide, but it has many regular wooden covers. It is raining today and I can't see clearly. I think it is the place where the master tried the case.

Without having time to look at it too much, Li Chunlai was taken to the class room of a small courtyard in the main courtyard by Wang Wu and others.

However, Li Chunlai just saw that someone did not come back, but was watching the door in the small room at the gate.

These details may be useless, but they are all remembered by Li Chunlai in his mind.

There was only a large broken earth kang and a small broken table in the room. There was nothing else. As soon as Wang Wu and his men came in, they took off their shoes, climbed onto the kang and lit a cigarette pipe to suck the clouds and mist.

The room was immediately filled with tobacco smell and feet smell.

Li Chun came out of the mountains and fields, his nose was very sensitive, and he almost vomited it out in an instant. The smell in his pigpen was probably better than this.

Fortunately, he still held back. He saw a tea bowl next to him and the hot water in the pot was about to be turned on. He started washing the dishes and pouring water.

Wang Wu and others didn't want to pay attention to Li Chunlai, but when they saw Li Chunlai so excitedly, they couldn't help but smile at each other and began to talk about their topic again.

Li Chunlai was busy while listening to his blushing face.

How dare I imagine that Wang Wu and the yamen runners actually went shopping in the kilns, and they were so familiar with each other...

If there were no mottled experiences, Li Chunlai was afraid that his chin would fall to the ground and his three views would collapse. However, at this time, he would... feel relish.

Even, you can distinguish some of them.

For example, Wang Wu and his friends seem to be joking with the sky now, as if the entire Yiyuan belongs to them, but Li Chunlai felt quite disdainful.

Wang Wu and others obviously don’t look like rich people, so how could they meet a real top brand?

Li Chunlai has been famous for a long time even in the countryside.
To be continued...
