Chapter 220 Heading to Black Water Village
The servants were trying to sow discord between him and his son right under his nose, and he was completely unaware of it. This family must be a complete mess.
To be honest, when Zhou Yunshu discovered this, she was a little disappointed with He Nian Zhang. After all, Zhou Yunshu had thought about cooperating with He Nian Zhang before.
But he couldn't even control what was happening in his own home, let alone outside.
Perhaps because he was too angry, He Nianzhang's voice was a little hoarse, "I understand, I will give Zizhen an explanation."
Also give yourself an explanation.
As he said this, He Nian Zhang stood up, and it looked like he was going to leave without waiting for He Zizhen to finish the get out of class.
He bowed slightly to Zhou Yunshu and said, "Zizhen, please ask Mr. Zhou to take care of him first. I will go back to Jiangzhong."
Zhou Yunshu stood up and nodded to He Nianzhang, saying, "Master He, take care."
He Nianzhan stayed for less than half an hour after entering the village, then led his men on horseback and left Dongwang Village.
When passing by the school window, He Zizhen, who was already absent-minded because of He Nianzhang's arrival, saw his father leave without saying a word to him. The corners of his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and tears rolled around in his eyes, looking very pitiful.
Daddy left without even saying a word to him. Did he really not want him anymore?
Lu Changfeng, who was He Zizhen's deskmate, and Xixi, who sat next to him, couldn't even listen to the class when they saw He Zizhen's little shoulders shaking and sobbing. They only thought about how to comfort him.
Fortunately, Zhou Yunzhi’s class was over, otherwise Lu Changfeng, Xixi and others would definitely be punished.
Xixi is not the type of person who likes to make random guesses. After knowing why He Zizhen was crying, she directly grabbed He Zizhen's hand and went to find her mother.
Yan Shilei had just sat down in the main hall after having Doctor Xue change the medicine on his wound when he saw Xixi and a few others walking in with a heroic and confident look.
“Daddy!”
Yan Shilei looked at Xixi and the others, then at Zhou Yunshu, wondering whether he should step away.
When Yan Shilei looked at her, Zhou Yunshu lowered her raised hand slightly, and Yan Shilei sat down silently.
"Uncle San, why did Zizhen's father come and leave again?" Yuan Yi pointed at Zizhen, whose eyes were almost swollen from crying, and asked Zhou Yunshu.
Zhou Yunshu waved to He Zizhen, Xixi took him over and they nestled in Zhou Yunshu's arms.
Zhou Yunshu touched He Zizhen's little head and whispered, "Your father has returned to the river to deal with the termites in the house."
He Zizhen raised her little face, which had become rosy from crying, and choked out, "Termites?"
"Yes, termites, a very bad kind of insect." Zhou Yunshu wiped the tears from his face with her fingertips and said, "He will come to see you when he finishes dealing with it."
"So don't worry, Zizhen. Your father won't abandon you."
Isn’t the thing that children worry about most being abandoned by their parents?
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, He Zizhen wiped the tears from his face and nodded. He believed Zhou Yunshu because she had never lied to him.
After coaxing the child and watching them leave, Yan Shilei said to Zhou Yunshu, "It seems that the child is not completely ignorant."
"They all understand it in their hearts."
So, sometimes children are actually not easy to deceive.
Yan Shilei nodded and continued to talk serious matters with Zhou Yunshu.
"This time we went out and bought a small farm in Beichuan, Nanchuan, and Jichuan. Jichuan and Nanchuan are full of people of all kinds, so we left forty or fifty people to guard each place. Otherwise, when we return, the farm might not be ours anymore."
"So how many people did you bring this time?" Zhou Yunshu asked.
When Zhanchuan delivered the news before, he said that after the last purge of Heishui Village, there were about 200 people in the village including Peng Tianhe, and without them, there were probably less than 200 people.
However, Heishui Village, which is relatively close to Heishui Village, can be said to be the reserve force of Heishui Village. If they are ignored, the sneak attack will definitely suffer a great loss.
The permanent population of Heishui Village is about 300, which adds up to at least 500 people, and they are particularly familiar with the terrain near Heishui Village.
If Yan Shilei brought too few people, there would be no need to think about a head-on confrontation, and he could only wait and see if there was an opportunity for a surprise attack.
"Including us, that's one hundred and fifty-three people."
Yan Shilei said, "But these people haven't been trained. They can only be said to be healthy, but not strong. Some of them are even injured."
"Injuried?"
Yan Shilei nodded. "We were attacked on the way here. A small-scale conflict broke out, but no one was killed."
Zhou Yunshu remained silent. Yan Shilei said, "But sir, although they are not as strong as the water bandits in the village, they can all swim and are not afraid of death."
"I told them that if they died in the service of the public, we would convert their merits into silver and give it to their families."
These people can only earn a few taels of silver a year, but a pension can allow their wives and children to live for a long time.
If they survive and receive the reward, they will live a good life; even if they die, Yan Shilei will ensure that their families will receive money to live on.
This was the rule Zhou Yunshu set when Yan Shilei and others went to various places in Haizhou to recruit people. The fact that the people who followed were so convinced must have been because Yan Shilei had implemented it before, which is why these people believed in it so much and were willing to risk their lives for it.
"Where are they now?"
"They've all settled in the small farm that Manager Liang mentioned."
Zhou Yunshu nodded and said, "You should move over there for the next few days. Eat well, drink well, and sleep well. I will have someone help you train. When the time comes, I will let you go to Black Water Village."
"yes!"
The person who was going to help Yan Shilei with the training was none other than Zhou Yunzhi.
I guess no one in the family knows more about what happens on the battlefield than Zhou Yunzhi.
Well, Zhou Yunzhi automatically ignored Ji Sheng because he wanted to take care of the children at home.
On the fifth day of Zhou Yunzhi's stay in the small village, the distinguished guests from Nanzhou who were said to be going to Heishui Village finally arrived in Dongchuan City.
Yes, finally.
They had received too many false news messages, each one saying they were coming soon, but in the end they never showed up at all.
When Yan Shilei, led by Peng Tianhe, took Zhou Yunshu, who was in disguise, and others to Heishui Village, the distinguished guests from Nanzhou had already settled in a brothel in Dongchuan City.
Singing and dancing, with a beauty in my arms, how happy I am.
Just when Dai Xingye couldn't help but prepare to go to Dongchuan City in person to welcome the distinguished guest, the distinguished guest who had had enough fun in the brothel finally boarded the boat to Heishui Village and headed towards Heishui Village.
