Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 40 Your system still understands human nature

Perhaps they had been hungry for too long, Zhu Wusiba and Chen were both dazed. Seeing what was happening before their eyes, they stood there at a loss as to what to do.

"Dad, Mom, I'm the emperor now, look at me."

Zhu Yuanzhang struggled to stand up, took off his outermost dragon robe, and put it on Zhu Wusi. Seeing this, Zhu Di also gave his outer robe to Chen.

"Mother, look, this is the temple where you gave birth to me."

"You, are Chongba?" Zhu Wusi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang blankly and found that although the man in front of him was over forty years old, his eyes and eyebrows did look like his youngest son Zhu Chongba.

"Zhongba, you really think you are the emperor?" The two were shocked.

"Dad, Mom, it's true." Zhu Yuanzhang hugged his elderly and frail parents tightly, and the three of them cried bitterly.

"My son has made it big. He's become the emperor."

"I am an unfilial child. I didn't let you two enjoy happiness."

……

The three of them cried for a long time before Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji came forward to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Great-grandfather, it's dark and cold here. Let's find a place and ask great-grandfather and great-grandmother to have something to eat."

"Dad, Mom, let's take you out for a good meal. We don't want to starve to death. Miss Su, is there a restaurant nearby?"

Su Jiahe immediately found a small restaurant nearby. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di carried the two people down the mountain and into the restaurant.

"Zhongba, where is this place? How did you suddenly grow up so big, and do you have two children and grandchildren this big?" Chen asked, looking around the unfamiliar environment.

"Mother, we have come to the future more than 600 years ago. It was this girl who brought us together."

"More than six hundred years later?" Chen's cloudy eyes revealed a hint of surprise. "Is this girl a deity?"

"No, no, I'm just a mortal." Su Jiahe waved his hand.

Although Zhu Wusiba and Chen still didn't understand what was going on, they were already very happy to see their son who would become the emperor in the future and their two handsome descendants.

"Shopkeeper, bring us your best dishes!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

"Don't," Su Jiahe stopped him immediately. "It's obvious that the two elders haven't eaten for a long time. If they eat too much all of a sudden, their bodies won't be able to handle it. Let's serve a few bowls of porridge first."

"Miss Su is really thoughtful. Let's start with a serving of rice porridge, a serving of millet porridge, and a few side dishes."

The meal was served soon. Zhu Wusiba and Chen stared at the steaming porridge with their eyes wide open.

"Dad, Mom, eat quickly."

As Zhu Wusi was in poor health and could hardly hold a spoon, Zhu Yuanzhang personally filled a bowl and fed his father spoonful by spoonful. Zhu Di was responsible for feeding Chen Shi porridge, while Zhu Zhanji served rice and vegetables at the side, always ready to serve.

Su Jiahe sat aside and couldn't help but shed tears again.

Zhu Yuanzhang lost both his parents when he was young. He was displaced and had to start from scratch. It is likely that he had not experienced such a heartwarming scene for many years.

After eating a few small bowls of porridge, Zhu Wusiba and Chen's eyes lit up and they were no longer as dull as before.

"Zhongba, my family has been farmers for generations, how come you became the emperor?"

"Dad, this is a long story..."

Zhu Yuanzhang recounted his experiences of wandering, becoming a monk, begging, and joining the Red Turban Army by chance, and how he conquered Tian bit by bit.

After hearing this, Zhu Wusiba and Chen were stunned at first, and then both burst into tears.

"Oh my God, smoke is coming out of my Zhu family's ancestral tomb!"

"Son, you've suffered so much to get to where you are today!"

"Dad, Mom, my grandparents taught me since I was little that we would eventually drive out the Tartars. I did it, but I didn't let you enjoy the happiness."

"Actually, on the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, I was so hungry that I slaughtered the landlord's cow with a few childhood friends, thinking that after eating it, we would leave to escape the famine. That day, I brought the beef home, but when I walked in, I saw that my father was gone..."

When he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice trembled.

"Ah? Chongba, you slaughtered the landlord's cow? Aren't you afraid that he will beat you to death?" Zhu Wusiba was very frightened.

"Dad, you've been honest your whole life, and you lived your life to the bitter end. But if we don't rebel, we'll starve to death. If we rebel and it doesn't work, the worst that can happen is we'll die. If it does, there's still a glimmer of hope."

Zhu Yuanzhang held his father's dry and rough hand, his eyes full of regret.

Zhu Wusi was silent for a long time, then sighed heavily.

"Alas, I thought that if I kept to myself, I could make life better for you guys, but I didn't expect that you would be the only one left in the family, all alone and helpless. If we had lived a few more years, even if we had to flee famine, our family would still be together."

Su Jiahe sat aside, silently summoning the system in his heart.

"System, system. Although summoned historical figures cannot bring back items, can you make an exception this time? These two are starving to death."

[In principle, no. However, if the host gives up part of the reward for this mission, an exception can be made.]

"Can I give up my permanent residence card?" Su Jiahe thought to himself. This thing seemed to be useless, and no one was willing to stay yet.

[Yes, the two summoned persons can carry a total of 100 kilograms of items.]

"Thank you, Master System!"

Su Jiahe thought, your system still understands human nature.

[Of course I'm not a cold and heartless system. Last time I didn't approve your leave, I was trying to save you, but I couldn't stop you from committing suicide.]

"You're right." Su Jiahe couldn't refute.

After getting permission from the system, Su Jiahe immediately ran to the kitchen to find the boss.

"Boss, how much food do you have here?"

"There's also a pot of red bean porridge and a pot of rice. What else do you want?"

"Can I buy a few bags of rice and flour? I need them urgently. I'll pay double the price."

The boss was stunned for a moment. Apparently, no customer had ever made such a request. However, according to the price Su Jiahe offered, this deal was still very profitable for him, so he readily agreed.

Seeing the piled up bags of grain, Zhu Wusui and Chen were both extremely surprised.

"Can we take all this food back? I've never seen so much rice in my life."

"Sure, take these back with you. The family can survive for a while."

After Su Jiahe finished speaking, he ran to a nearby pharmacy, bought many common medicines, and gave them to the two elders.

"Dad, Mom, when you go back, take your family away. Fengyang will soon be hit by a severe famine, with corpses of starving people everywhere. Escape quickly while there is still food," Zhu Yuanzhang warned.

"Okay, okay, let's go together as a family. The world is so big, there is always a way to survive."

Zhu Di, who had already taken off his dragon robe, took off his white undergarment and handed it to Chen.

"Grandma, take this dress back with you. You can pawn it for some money on the way."

"You'd better take off mine." Zhu Zhanji looked at his grandfather who was only wearing his inner clothes, and hurriedly put his outer coat on Zhu Di.

"Good, good, these grandchildren are so filial." A long-lost joy appeared in the eyes of Zhu Wusiba and Chen.

Zhu Di was secretly delighted to hear his grandparents' approval.

My grandparents have spoken up for me, so I think my dad should be able to forgive me a little.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed, and Zhu Yuanzhang held his parents' hands, reluctant to let go.

"Once you leave, we will be without parents again."

"Son, take good care of yourself. You are the emperor now. You have a wife and children. What a wonderful life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two shadows flashed by, and the food and medicine beside them disappeared at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the empty table and said two words after a long while.

"Let's go."

A group of people walked on the path in the moonlight.

"Miss Su, I remembered something." Zhu Yuanzhang said suddenly.
