However, the direct line of the Guo family did not receive much help because of the reputation of Grandfather Guo. The reputation for his noble and upright actions was true, but it also put the family in a dilemma. Soon, due to the living conditions, Guo Yan's health declined rapidly. Soon, he passed away, leaving nothing behind at home except half the house of bamboo slips. The situation of the Guo family improved after Mrs. Zhang married into the family. However, although Guo Yuanchang was quite talented and was blessed by his father's reputation, metaphysics was very popular nowadays, and Guo Yuanchang studied Confucian academics, so he was unable to do so. After contacting Luoyang nobles and people with real power, the reputation gained over the years is nothing more than the reputation of being "comfortable with poverty and happy with morality, not afraid of the powerful, and treating fame, fortune and wealth as rubbish".

This kind of reputation is not bad, but it is a pity that it cannot be exchanged for daily necessities.

Because of Chen Xiquan's 'amnesia', Guo Yuanchang had no choice but to start teaching from the most basic knowledge. Chen Xiquan first wanted to do something because of calligraphy practice.

Paper has been invented a long time ago. Paper is much more convenient to use than bamboo slips. Chen Xiquan has also seen copybooks in Guo Yuanchang's room. In his opinion, bamboo slips should have been eliminated long ago, but in fact , Chen Xiquan and others began to use "bamboo slips" to practice calligraphy, and the reason was simply that the "paper" was too expensive.

Chen Xiquan was unwilling and received a beating, so he used the excuse of "using the sand table to learn calligraphy faster and catching up with his brothers as soon as possible" in exchange for not having to learn bamboo slip carving.

Although Guo Yuanchang is not a qualified man in Chen Xiquan's opinion, he does not have many problems in learning. It is just that although the orthodox Confucianism he learned has not been squeezed out of his living space in this era, it is now combined with Taoism. Mysticism was more popular and prevalent among the nobility.

Today's fonts have slowly transitioned from official script to regular script. Although it is quite different from the traditional Chinese characters of later generations, for Chen Xiquan, recognizing characters is indeed not a troublesome thing, and he learned it very quickly.

Just when Chen Xiquan thought that his future was to study first and then find ways to make paper and improve his family's life at the same time, war broke out.

In fact, on the day of the accident, Chen Xiquan had no premonition at all. He had overestimated the stability of the world. In his opinion, Luoyang was also the capital after all, and even if it was a local epidemic, it would not affect the people in Luoyang. yes.

But before Chen Xiquan could figure out the situation, a family of more than a dozen people began to prepare to escape.

"They are Hu people." Guo's mother was sitting on the wooden cart. She was older and had experienced a lot: "More than ten years ago, they also rushed to Luoyang City like this, burning, killing and looting along the way. They didn't let anything go. "She thought that meeting her once in her life was thrilling enough. Who knew that she would meet her a second time in a miserable life? What was even more tragic was that when she met her for the first time, she lived in the city. This time, he could only start fleeing like a refugee.

She couldn't figure out whether this Hu man was the Hu man from more than ten years ago, but she knew that as long as he was a Hu man, he would not be merciful.

Luoyang City has limited living space, and many villages are scattered in the suburbs. Now, these have become refugees, fleeing towards the front without any purpose, just to escape the coming war.

There are guards in Luoyang, but they will not protect people like them on the outskirts of the city. When the city is attacked, they can easily be captured and used as prisoners to attack the city.

"Why not ask Luoyang for help and just let us enter the city." Chen Xiquan was puzzled. Luoyang won't be full of people. It's okay to just find some open space to accommodate people.

"The city guard will not let them go. We got the news too late." Mrs. Zhang and her youngest daughter supported each other and walked with difficulty. There were some dry food, clothing and some belongings on the wooden cart, and the older mother Guo was sitting there. There was no other place to sit, so the mother and daughter had to walk alone. Fortunately, they don't have the bad habit of foot-binding anymore. Zhang and Guo Xiang are in good physical condition, so they should be fine for at least the past two days.

The family probably started leaving in the morning, and the domestic slaves took turns pulling the wooden cart. It was probably when the sun was about to set in the afternoon that they, like a group of refugees, started to stop and cook.

It was at this time that Chen Xiquan discovered that his father was taciturn along the way and something was not right. After he stopped to rest, something was even more wrong.

But his body was not fully grown at that time, and he had walked for such a long time. After eating something, he was about to go to bed. In a daze, he heard his father seem to compose an impromptu poem. He didn't know the details. It's too clear. It probably means that a true hermit should not be tempted by fame and fortune, nor should he be afraid of death in war. He only guards a thatched cottage for his family because he cannot let go of his inner hope, hoping to meet someone who appreciates him. In this way It's a wrong thought or something like that,

Before falling into a deep sleep, Chen Xiquan was still thinking that his father was quite arrogant and brave, and he was not just trying to gain fame.

Who would have known that when he woke up the next day, his cheap dad was gone.

However, his father wrote the gift he made last night on the paper that was taken out as property because of its high value, and then left it with Zhang, which was regarded as a farewell letter.

At that time, Chen Xiquan just felt that there was a curse word that he wanted to blurt out.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Guo didn't really expect their husband and son to be a celebrity who cared about the countryside, no, a hermit, let alone under such circumstances.

He immediately went to find the leader of the refugees.

The Guo family is special. To be precise, their registered permanent residence is not outside Luoyang City, and they do not live in a village, so they are not familiar with the refugees. However, most of the leaders among the refugees are village chiefs, who have some prestige. After a day of election, the leaders also elected the most prestigious person in the local area as the leader.

This kind of regime is naturally very weak. Although they say they are leaders, everyone knows that it is impossible to send people to find them.

Zhang and Guo's mother could not help but fall into despair.

At this moment, the opinions of some other people completely refreshed Chen Xiquan's three views.

"Although we have not read much, we also know that Mr. Guo, who is so courageous and does not pursue fame and fortune, is a true celebrity. This fu is really enlightening to read carefully! Mrs. Guo does not need to worry too much. As his family, you should support him."

After listening to the comfort of everyone, Guo's mother and Zhang really stopped making trouble. Instead, they cheered up and decided to live well so that Guo Yuanchang would have no worries.

Is this world abnormal, or is Chen Xiquan abnormal?

A man who abandoned his wife during the war is still a real celebrity? ! Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? !

But Chen Xiquan originally thought that these were just excuses made up by the leaders who were unwilling to help. Who knew that in the following ten days of exile, they really took good care of the family for Guo Yuanchang's sake.

In the end, Chen Xiquan admitted that it was probably himself who was abnormal.

However, this kind of care for some reason that Chen Xiquan didn't know was not long-lasting.

No matter how organized the refugees were in fleeing, they could not last long. Gradually, some refugees ran out of food they brought with them, and they began to have crooked ideas.

However, the leaders took the young and strong to kill a few people, and called on the refugees with more food to share a little bit with those who had no food at all.

Guo's mother was kind-hearted and wanted to donate some, but was stopped by Chen Xiquan. Their family had many people, most of whom were old, weak, women and children. Without food, they could not support themselves. Moreover, although they had several servants, they had no male master, and the eldest brother was only sixteen years old. He might have grown up in the eyes of others, but in Chen Xiquan's eyes, he was still a child and could not support the situation at all. If they donated food, what if others thought that they had a lot of food here?

Anyway, Chen Xiquan thought whatever he thought, and tried his best to stop him.

In the end, he could not persuade her, so Guo's mother did not mention it again, but Zhang felt that her son's thoughts were not right, and she educated him for three whole days while on the road.

Chen Xiquan was not unaware that his behavior was selfish, which was what Zhang said was "not what a gentleman does, but the heart of a villain", but he understood better than anyone what human beings would become at the critical moment of life and death.

Chapter 176: The Elegance of Famous Scholars (III)

As Guo Yuanchang "retired to the mountains and forests", gradually, it was the eldest son Guo Yang who started to make decisions along the way. However, Guo Yang was not originally a governor, and his personality was relatively soft, so he was not suitable.

Finally, Chen Xiquan stood up. No matter what, his mental age was almost as old as Zhang's, and he was a man. How could he not stand up at this moment?

Although Zhang was somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Xiquan's actions and even pulled him over to preach for two days, she had to admit that it felt different to have someone who could make decisions at home.

"Hey, Erlang has grown up." Zhang was disheveled and listless recently, but she had to hold on all the time. Fortunately, she had a son who could make decisions. Although she felt that Erlang did something wrong, he was still young and had been injured and sick before, so it was not too late to teach him slowly in the future.

And now, it was this little man who tried hard to think about everything and carefully planned for the family.

Did Zhang really have no regrets when her husband left without saying goodbye?

How could it be possible? ． think. rabbit. net. arts. document. share. and. Online. read.

However, she had to have no regrets, so that the reputation of the noble character of the "hermit" could become a talisman for the family.

Even Zhang knew that if the war was over in the future, she and her husband would not be able to separate, so she could only pretend to be confused and be a wife who had no regrets behind the "famous scholar".

The reputation of the family and the pride of the gentry were exchanged for countless unreasonable things. In the eyes of normal people, unreasonableness was exactly what these celebrities pursued to break the secular world.

What could she do? She had thought about not marrying the shabby Guo family, but the gentry who were slightly better naturally looked down on her side branch, and wanted to marry a poor scholar with a good family? Impossible.

This was the rule.

She couldn't resist, because she knew too well the consequences of resistance.

So she scolded and educated Erlang, and it was really out of love and care.

But soon, character and other things were no longer important.

The refugees walked for more than a month, avoiding the war, but no place to stay.

Wherever they went, it seemed to be wilderness and ruins. They even met many other refugees who had to leave their homes to save their lives.

The Hu people were rampant and broke through the border defenses. Sometimes they couldn't even defend the city, let alone resettle the refugees. What's more, most of the passes were actually guarded by the private soldiers of the local nobles, Qubu. These troops would not care about the refugees. Their important task was to guard the Wubao Manor of the owner.

It is said that people in troubled times are not as good as dogs in peacetime, and wandering people without a home are really not as good as dogs.

The food was running out, and they couldn't find a safe place to stay. Gradually, the refugees began to rebel.

Those high reputations and noble character were useless at this time. They needed food and a place to rest. They didn't want to be exposed in the wilderness.

Both of the servants of the Guo family ran away.

One family fled into the mountains a month after leaving Luoyang, and the other family mixed with other refugees and left when the food brought by the Guo family ran out.

When both of the servants of the Guo family ran away, Chen Xiquan decided to leave the refugee team.

Their family is now old, weak, women and children, and they have no fighting power at all. It would be strange if they were not bullied to death. Those former leaders have already been unable to protect themselves, so who would say that they admire the reputation of the Guo family and come to help at this time.

When the granaries are full, they know etiquette. In the face of survival, everything needs to be put behind. Even if there are really people who are not afraid of death, it has nothing to do with Chen Xiquan. Anyway, he is definitely not a person who is not afraid of death.

But when he proposed to leave, the rest of the family opposed it.

If they left the refugees, they would have no food to eat, and no one would protect them if they encountered wild animals. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't survive, so they might as well follow the refugees.

Chen Xiquan felt helpless. He didn't know whether it was right to leave or whether he could survive.
