The scorching hot weather in June in the south of the land of China is tormenting, the scorching sun is scorching the earth, and the sand on the road is estimated to put an egg at this time, and it will be cooked soon.

It was the height of summer, and there was not a trace of wind between heaven and earth, only the scorching sun shining through every gap, and it seemed that they were unwilling to give the world a little shade.

Even if there is air movement at this time, it will produce a wave of heat, and the puppies on the side of the road stick their long tongues out, and no one wants to be exposed to the sun at this time, otherwise it will definitely not be long before heat stroke.

"This is heaven-breaking, it's just going to heat people to death!"

Li Zixiao stood under a bus stop sign, fanning vigorously with one hand, holding an ice cream in the other hand and licking it with his tongue, even so, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands from time to time.

Although the weather is very hot today, Li Zixiao is in a very good mood, because today he got the 1,000 yuan ocean sent to him by the boss, so he treated himself hard and rewarded himself with an ice cream.

Don't think that Li Zixiao is willing to go out for a walk in such a hot weather, he has to run for life, and he has no chance to enjoy that cool feeling in the air-conditioned room.

Li Zixiao's family conditions were not good, his father was paralyzed in bed, and the burden of life at home was all on his mother alone.

And after Li Zixiao was admitted to university, the family's money was not enough for him to pay his tuition, so he could only take advantage of the vacation time to come out to work and save money.

He found a job delivering mineral water, on this hot day, the city is full of people ordering mineral water, Li Zixiao is very busy, although his body is very tired, but his heart is happy.

After Li Zixiao delivered the last mineral water at noon today, he was ready to take the bus back to his place of work.

After waiting for a while, Li Zixiao finally saw a bus driving slowly, looking at the bus driving slowly like an old cow, Li Zixiao didn't have to think about it to know that the bus was already overcrowded at this time.

Sure enough, after **** got on the bus, I found that the bus was already crowded with people, and the standard bus carrying more than 20 people was definitely crammed in more than 40 people at this time, which was seriously overloaded.

Not to mention that there were empty seats, but the aisles were also crowded, and he could only squeeze in near the door.

When the bus started, it was terrible to sway and slow, and there were too many people in the car, the inside of the car was hotter than the outside, the air was not circulated, and all the passengers were sweating.

"On such a hot day, there is so much overload, so I am not afraid of accidents." Li Zixiao was squeezed around by the crowd and muttered.

I don't know if Li Zixiao's crow mouth is too smart, as soon as his muttering fell, the old cow-like bus made a 'Peng' sound outside, it should be a tire burst.

Then the bus directly lost direction control and rushed towards the roadside ditch, and the bus flipped into the inner ditch.

The bus toppled over, and the passengers in the bus were all crushed into a pile, trampled on people, and fled out of the bus, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

The dumped bus was suddenly in chaos, crying, shouting, and scolding, and the windows and doors were already crowded with fleeing passengers at this time, and poor Li Zixiao was originally the closest to the door, but when the bus toppled, he was thrown behind.

Especially at this time, the strong pungent smell of gasoline spreads, and the bus spills the gasoline in the fuel tank because of the dumping, and it is easy to explode in such a hot weather.

Li Zixiao was the last to climb out of the overturned bus, and when he climbed out of the bus that had caught fire, he was so excited that he almost cried, and finally came out.

Bang......

Just when Li Zixiao was secretly rejoicing in his heart, the bus behind him exploded, and immediately he felt that the back of his head was hit by something hard, and he lost consciousness instantly.

In the winter of the ninth year of the late Ming Dynasty (1636), the entire Central Plains of China was in a mess, and the natural disasters of the year made the people of the Central Plains have no harvest.

What is even more terrifying is the banditry, last year the righteous army led by Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, fled from Shaanxi to Henan, everywhere they went, mourning all over the wilderness, the bandits were brutal, and the people were coerced, and the Ming officials and troops who followed were even worse than the bandits, burning, killing and looting, and the living conditions of the people were miserable.

At this moment when the sky is about to fall, a bright and dazzling meteor has fallen on the land of the Central Plains of China!

In the wilderness about eighty miles southeast of Guide Mansion in Henan, dozens of ragged bandits were fleeing in a hurry, and behind this group of poor bandits, several Ming official cavalry quickly pursued, making this group of embarrassed bandits desperately flee.

Although the bandits tried their best to escape, and had already discarded everything on them on the way, trying to lighten the weight on their bodies.

However, after all, the two legs of a man could not outrun the four legs of a war horse, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

"Boom ......"

As the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer to them, several officers and cavalry on their horses showed sneers, raised their sabers in their hands, and made a gesture of preparing to chop on their horses.

In the eyes of these officers and cavalry, the group of dozens of bandits in front of them who were not as dressed as Hanako were simply vulnerable.

Don't look at the bandits, there are dozens of them, but they were killed by their seven cavalry. At this time, he rushed up to cut off the heads of these bandits and went back to receive the reward.

"Kill ......"

A flash of swords, seven Ming officials and cavalry holding sabers high immediately swung their knives and slashed very skillfully, divided into two, galloped past the wings of dozens of bandits in front of them, and slashed the sabers in their hands at the target.

When the seven officers and cavalry broke away from contact with this group of bandits, the smoke and dust raised by the hooves of the war horses were quickly blown away by the wind, and at least a dozen bandits in rags fell to the ground covered in blood, motionless......

In this era when the people are struggling to make a living, death has long been a very common thing, so in the face of the 'comrades-in-arms' who were cut to the ground by the officers and soldiers, the remaining bandits did not even look at it and continued to run forward.

Because they knew that as long as they ran a few more miles, entered the mountains, and kept following everyone closely, and constantly consumed their vital strength through one assault after another, they would no longer be able to help them.

After all, these cavalry are not suitable for fighting in mountainous areas, and generally these officers and cavalry will not risk chasing bandits into the mountains and forests, and after the bandits run into the mountains and forests, they can quickly evade the pursuit of the cavalry with the help of the cover of the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, there were only seven cavalrymen chasing them, and if there were more, this group of bandits would probably be killed in a few direct assaults.

The seven officers and cavalry laughed, as if they were playing a game, eating the living force of the small bandits of these dozens of people little by little.

Originally, these seven Ming official cavalry were going to Guide Mansion, but they didn't expect to encounter a small group of bandits on the road, and they didn't say anything, they rushed directly to start killing.

In this group of bandits, there is a black-faced strong man, who has been carrying a person on his back from the beginning, and in the face of the pursuit of the cavalry, he even ran away with a person on his back, isn't this looking for death!

However, every time these Ming official cavalry were about to rush over and cut down the black-faced strong man with his back on his back, they would find that there would always be bandits around the black-faced strong man to cover him, so that he could escape the cavalry again and again.

However, for this reason, a group of bandits will fall under the sword of the official army every time.

In this way, after the seven Ming official cavalry behind him rushed and killed round after round, the number of this group of bandits plummeted, but fortunately, a dense forest finally appeared in front of everyone not long after.

Running down all the way, these bandits had long been exhausted by hunger, and they couldn't hold out for long.

But when they saw the trees in front of them, they seemed to see the hope of life, and they ran towards the woods with all their last strength.

At this time, the seven Ming cavalry who were chasing behind finally realized that something was wrong, and if they let this group of bandits escape into the mountains and forests, then they would have no choice.

After a cavalryman wearing a mandarin duck battle robe at the head let out a loud roar, the seven cavalrymen directly lined up with their sabers raised in a row, and the swords flashed brightly, and swept along the direction of the bandits' escape, trying to break the bandits away and prevent them from rushing into the woods.

However, they were still a step too late after all, and after cutting down a dozen bandits in a row, the remaining bandits of less than twenty people still escaped into the mountain forest, including the black-faced strong man with one man on his back.

The remaining seven officers and cavalry wandered outside the mountain forest for a while, and after a few stinking words of swearing, they retreated.

The seven officers and cavalry did not arrogantly chase into the mountains and forests, although they looked down on this group of bandits who had no organization and courage.

However, the leader of the cavalry still knew that this place was not suitable for pursuit, and once they entered the mountains and forests, the speed advantage of their cavalry could not be brought into play, and the cavalry lost most of its combat power without speed.

Moreover, there are so many of these small bandits in Henan now, and the government is staring at Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the leaders of the large rebel army, who have long been famous, and they have no energy to pay attention to these small bandits.

Today, these seven officers and cavalry also happened to encounter this small group of bandits of dozens of people, so they simply cut off a few heads, and just rushed to Guide Mansion to receive a few rewards.

Now that a lot of heads have been cut off, there is no need to venture into the mountains and forests, and more than 20 bandits will not be able to climb the sky.

The two dozen or so bandits who escaped into the mountains and forests alive were all sturdy young men, and those old, weak, sick and disabled had already been killed in the previous pursuit.

In a simple cave in the mountain forest, more than 20 bandits who narrowly escaped death were all gathered here, their physical strength was exhausted, and hunger made them lie on the ground one by one at this time, all like dead dogs, unable to move.

At this time, the black-faced strong man put down the person he was carrying, and several young people quickly came around him, anxiously surrounding.

This black-faced strong man was carrying no one else, it was Li Zixiao, the big boss of this group of bandits, who had been knocked down by the galloping cavalry, his head hit a stone, and he fell unconscious.

"Brother Dazhu, the big boss will be fine, right?"

A young man with a thin figure and a slightly obscene appearance turned his head to look at the black-faced strong man and asked nervously.

"Bah, Ergouzi, what do you say, of course the big boss will be fine." The lewd young man had just finished speaking, and before the black-faced strong man could answer, a person next to him shouted.

This young man named Wei Hong, nearly 1.7 meters tall, is definitely tall in this era, and he is handsome, if it weren't for the fact that long-term hunger made him pale and his clothes were tattered, he would definitely be a handsome and beautiful man.

"Brother Wei Hong, I didn't mean that, of course I hope that the big boss is okay......" Ergouzi was a little afraid of this Weihong, and quickly explained.

"Shut up."

However, before he could finish speaking, a slight cough suddenly sounded from the mouth of the big boss lying on the ground, and a faint voice came out, and Zhou Dazhu directly interrupted the argument between the two with a violent anger.

Then Zhou Dazhu hurriedly squatted down, leaned down to approach a young man who was called the 'big boss', and asked softly: "Big boss, you say, what do you want?" ”

Wei Hong and Zhang Ergouzi, who were standing behind them, also leaned over anxiously.

"Water...... I'm going to drink water too......"

"Quick, the big boss is awake, the big boss wants to drink water, what are you doing there, hurry up and get water." Zhou Dazhu stood up and shouted to Wei Hong and Zhang Ergouzi behind him.

"O, O."

Although the two of them were yelled, they smiled and nodded, turned around and ran out to find water.

Soon, the two took water from a bamboo tube, and Zhou Dazhu helped Li Zixiao up and fed him water.

A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and under the anxious waiting of Zhou Dazhu, Wei Hong and others, Li Zixiao, who gradually woke up, slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of clear and bright eyes.

"Huh? What is this place? Shouldn't I be in the hospital? Why is there a group of people named Hanako surrounding me? ”

Li Zixiao opened his eyes and saw several men dressed in tatters who looked like Hanako around him, and he was suddenly startled, and muttered in his heart.

And although the faces of these men around him were not very good-looking, they were excited at this time, staring at Li Zixiao non-stop, which suddenly made Li Zixiao, who had just woken up, stand on end.

Just when Li Zixiao was about to speak, a black-faced strong man standing opposite him said excitedly: "Big boss, it's okay if you're fine, if something happens, what will you do with our brothers!" ”

"The big boss? You are...... Yes! ”

Li Zixiao looked at the black-faced strong man in front of him who was crying, a little blindfolded, what is the situation?

He was about to open his mouth to ask, but his head suddenly swelled with pain, as if countless memories that did not belong to him poured into his head, causing him to let out a miserable scream.

"What's wrong with you, big boss, it's okay, don't scare me." Zhou Dazhu was startled by Li Zixiao's scream, and hurriedly asked.

"Late Ming Dynasty...... Brigand...... The Great Master...... Li Zixiao......"

Soon, a large number of memories poured into Li Zixiao's head, and at this time, Li Zixiao could figure things out a little, it turned out that he had been reborn.

and was reborn in the ninth year of Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, one of the most turbulent eras in China, and was reborn into a guy who was also named Li Zixiao, which is really providential.

"Okay, I'm fine, but my head still hurts a little, you go and rest first, just let me calm down." Li Zixiao waved his hand to a few people and said.

Suddenly, knowing that he had been reborn at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this made Li Zixiao a little difficult to accept, and he needed time to digest the messy memories in his head.

As more and more memory fragments emerged in Li Zixiao's head, which were the memory fragments that originally belonged to the previous 'Li Zixiao' boss, looking at the group of bandits around him who were like Huazi, Li Zixiao already believed that he was afraid that he might really cross over.

Although he had seen the so-called time travel in novels in later generations, people traveled to ancient times to be either emperors or generals, and at worst they were small soldiers, and at worst they were also officials.

As for himself, he actually crossed over to a bandit leader who couldn't even eat enough and couldn't even wear warm clothes, and he had to be hunted down by the government, Li Zixiao sighed in his heart.

Subsequently, Li Zixiao called the black-faced strong man in again, intending to ask him about the more detailed situation, after all, although Li Zixiao can afford some memories of the previous owner of this body, but after all, it is not complete, if you want to know more details, you still have to ask his subordinates.

"Dazhu, I was hit on the head before, and there are many things that I can't remember for a while, and my head hurts when I think about it, or you can tell me about our current general situation."

This honest and black-faced strong man named Zhou Dazhu, who is Li Zixiao's iron loyalist at first glance, has no doubts about Li Zixiao's words, and has to make Li Zixiao grateful to the owner of this body.

Anyway, he left himself a loyal subordinate, and it can be seen that the original owner of this body was also supported by his subordinates during his lifetime.

After Zhou Dazhu introduced the general situation, Li Zixiao also knew his current situation, and his face was dignified.

Li Zixiao's first thought was how to survive in this troubled world when he was weak. As long as you live first, you will have the opportunity to talk about the future, otherwise, everything is a pipe dream.

And if this wants to survive, there are two major problems in front of Li Zixiao, one is food, and the other is cotton clothing.
