Chapter 96: The Second General
In fact, after Cui Yan left, Lin Nan was also very strange, why Cui Yan knew where he lived, but he didn't know where Cui Yan lived, no wonder Cui Yan said that he was abrupt.
In fact, Cui Yan and Chen Lin also came to Zhuo County for a study tour, and lived in the same inn as Lin Nan. Cui Yan naturally got the news from Zhang Fei's mouth, so he easily found Lin Nan, but Lin Nan didn't know anything about it.
And after Cui Yan returned to the room, he felt even more depressed, Lin Nan's words shocked him too much. At that time, just in time for Chen Lin to pack up his things, Cui Yan was shocked and hurriedly asked Chen Lin why this was.
Chen Lin replied: "My uncle has an old friendship with the general He Jin, I want to go south to Luoyang and meet the general He Jin, in order to gain fame, I wonder if Ji Jue is willing to go with me?"
Cui Yan was shocked, he couldn't imagine that Chen Lin's movements were so fast, but he didn't want to rely on others to get things done, so he politely rejected Chen Lin's kindness. At the same time, he also recounted the content of today's conversation with Lin Nan to Chen Lin, of course, some content was omitted, and he greatly praised Lin Nan's talent and knowledge. Chen Lin didn't care about this, in his eyes, Lin Nan was just a newborn hairy boy, powerless, empty-blooded, what could he do, compared with the general He Jin, Lin Nan was simply not two farts. Chen Lin was even more disdainful of Cui Yan's praise of Lin Nan, and persuaded Cui Yan to go with him, maybe he could make a difference.
At this point, the two already have different life directions, and it is a matter of time before they part ways, if there is no Lin Nan, Cui Yan may go to the general He Jin with Chen Lin, and it is precisely because of Lin Nan's appearance that it began to change as soon as he appeared. Watching Chen Lin pack up her baggage, Cui Yan's heart began to be bored again. He admires Lin Nan's talent and knowledge, but this person has no loyalty to the king, but Lin Nan's great rebellion is for the sake of the people of the world, if it is true as Lin Nan said, then the world will be ruled greatly. Therefore, Cui Yan's heart is too contradictory, it is true that it is really difficult for people to make choices.
didn't sleep well all night, and the next day looking at Chen Lin's distant back, Cui Yan suddenly felt an inexplicable loss in his heart. Kong Zhang can go to He Jin, what should I do in the future? Lin Nan, Lin Nan, what kind of person are you? Could it be that I really want to level the world with you? Cui Yan asked himself a few questions in his heart.
After Chen Lin left, Cui Yan walked aimlessly on the street alone. It is true that he began to accept Lin Nan's thoughts, but he did not have the courage to realize them, because it was too terrifying. So, he was expecting, expecting God to give him a wise decision.
Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of crying in front of him. I don't know when, he actually walked into a quiet alley. He looked up and saw a little boy crouching in the corner crying. So, Cui Yan stepped forward to comfort the child, but the child still cried, it turned out that it was the three eldest children who bullied him together, so he was very aggrieved, and when he encountered such a thing, Cui Yan also felt very helpless. At this moment, I saw a woman coming from the entrance of the alley and reprimanded the child loudly: "Wang Ping, do you have any chance, manly husband, you should walk the world with a three-foot sword, punish evil and promote good, save all people from fire and water, promote fame for thousands of years, and make meritorious deeds for all generations.
When the boy heard the reprimand, he stopped crying and staggered away with the woman.
After the two left, Cui Yan was unconsciously emotional. That woman should be the mother of the child, and teaching her son like this is comparable to Meng's mother's three moves.
Yes, when a husband should hold a three-foot sword to break through the world, how can he learn the attitude of a child? When a husband makes meritorious deeds for all generations, he dare not think about people, dare not do what pedestrians, and be admired by thousands of people, how can he live under people for a long time?
Thinking of this, Cui Yan's heart was greatly happy, and he ran back to the inn with a long roar.
When he saw Lin Nan again, Cui Yan shook his head to the ground and said: "Cui Yan is willing to follow Ziyang to the world, sweep away all the injustices in the world, depend on each other in life and death, and never give up." ”
Seeing Cui Yan like this, Lin Nan hurriedly helped him up and said, "Ji Jue doesn't have to be so polite, from today on, the two of us will go hand in hand, life and death depend on each other, and we will never give up." ”
In the next few days, the two often talked until late at night, and Lin Nan also learned fencing from Cui Yan, and got drunk with Zhang Fei a few times, and the relationship between the three of them also rose in a straight line. However, the two knew that the big thing was not over, so a few days later, the two said goodbye to Zhang Fei and went south to Luoyang.
Before leaving, Lin Nan specially instructed Zhang Fei that he would come to invite Zhang Fei out of the mountain after three months at most, and go to Bingzhou to resist the Xiongnu together to make meritorious deeds, and Zhang Fei was very happy to agree. However, Cui Yan was not very optimistic about the prospect of this translation, but when he saw Lin Nan so bold, he was relieved.
The two traveled all the way and arrived in Hejian County in a few days. Originally, there was no need to go through Hejian County to go to Luoyang, but Lin Nan considered that Hejian County had a top fierce general Zhang He during the Three Kingdoms, so he deliberately made a detour to Hejian County. Cui Yan was very puzzled by this, but when he heard Lin Nan say that he came to visit a general, he didn't say much.
Zhang He is also a little famous in Hejian County, and it didn't take much effort to find his residence. After casting the post, Zhang He actually greeted him in person, looked at Lin Nan carefully and said, "Your Excellency is Lin Ziyang of Liaodong Linnan?"
Lin Nan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Zhang He hurriedly said: "A few people, please come in and talk about it." So saying, he led the people into the hall.
After sitting down, I only heard Zhang He say: "In the next Zhang He, the expression is handsome, I don't know what to call this brother?"
So Cui Yan hurriedly said: "In Xia Cui Yan, the word Ji Qi, a native of Qinghe Dongwu, is friends with Ziyang, so he travels to study together." ”
At this time, Cui Yan was not famous, Zhang He just nodded slightly, the meaning was already known, seeing this, Lin Nan hurriedly said: "Nan wants to go to Luoyang to seek officials, go to the river, and hear that the public has a good name, so I came to visit." ”
In fact, this is full of loopholes, you go to Luoyang from Zhuo County, you don't have to pass by the river at all, but now you are walking around the river, is it clear that you have ulterior motives, but I didn't expect Zhang He to agree very happily: "I also have this intention, if Ziyang does not give up, I am willing to walk with Ziyang." ”
As soon as he heard Zhang He say this, Lin Nan couldn't believe his ears, he didn't expect Zhang He, one of the four court pillars in Hebei, to be so good at talking, and he could do it in a few words.
Immediately afterwards, several people had a meal in Zhang's mansion, and at the banquet, Cui Yan couldn't help but secretly wonder, Lin Nan was far away in Liaodong, how did he know that there was such a person as Zhang He living in Hejian County, even he was originally from Jizhou, and he had traveled abroad for many years, and he had never heard of Zhang He, it seemed that this Lin Nan was really extraordinary.
The next day, with Zhang He, Lin Nan and his party rushed to Changshan Zhending.
After arriving at Changshan Zhending, Lin Nan began to look for Zhao Yun everywhere like a headless fly. I searched for two days in a row, and I didn't even catch Zhao Yun's shadow, and I didn't even have anyone to provide clues, which made Lin Nan almost deflated, and it was really difficult to see his idol, but when I thought of Zhao Yun's invincible appearance of the white horse and silver spear, I insisted on looking for a day, but there was still no news of Zhao Yun, and now Lin Nan lost his temper completely.
In this way, it was not until the evening of the third day that Cui Yan finally brought back an exciting news.
To be honest, in the past few days, looking for such an unknown person named Zhao Yun every day, Cui Yan has opinions in his heart, he feels that it is not worth it, it is a serious matter to go to Luoyang to seek an official quickly, it is really meaningless to spend it here, but he still brought good news to Lin Nan.
It turned out that according to the old man in the market, if you want to find someone surnamed Zhao, it is best to go to Zhaojia Village, ten miles west of Zhending City, where there are more people with the surname Zhao, and there should be someone named Zhao Yun.
Hearing such good news, Lin Nanru was a treasure, and the next morning, he didn't care about freshening up, so he hurried to Zhaojia Village. The effort paid off, and after asking door to door for a day, I really found two people named Zhao Yun, but they were both fifty or sixty years old, which was 108,000 miles away from Zhao Yun in my mind, and helplessly, the group of four had to return to Zhending City.
At this moment, Lin Nan was completely depressed, he couldn't find Zhao Yun, his hard work in the past few days was in vain, and Cui Yan was even more confused, and he couldn't understand why Lin Nan had to find this person named Zhao Yun.
But Lin Nan still didn't give up, and stayed in Zhending City for another day, and scurried around the streets and alleys of Zhending City, hoping to gain something, but the result was still disappointing. Lin Nan had no choice but to go with the flow, it seems that he has no chance with Zhao Yun.
The next day, Lin Nan finished packing his things listlessly, and went on the road with Cui Yan and others, but Cui Yan couldn't wait for a long time, and as soon as he got on the road, he quickly went straight to Luoyang.
Halfway through, Lin Nan suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, but it was still a large size, so he parked the carriage on the side of the road, and he and Lin Zhong came to the depths of the woods on the side of the road.
When Lin Nan was trying to solve the problem, he suddenly heard some voices, "Plop, plop!" came, very rhythmic, like the sound of plowing soil, Lin Nan didn't feel shocked in his heart, but also surprised. So, he and Lin Zhong followed the sound and walked over, and found that it was indeed a big man digging the soil, and a big pit had been dug, and next to the big pit, there was actually a corpse, obviously, he wanted to bury this corpse.
The big man was also stunned when he saw the two of them coming, but he didn't pay attention to anything, just looked at them coldly, and then put the body into the pit and wanted to bury it directly.
At this time, Lin Nan saw clearly that it was the corpse of an old woman, it seemed that she should have been dead for many days, and she was still wearing shabby clothes, and the corpse was only wrapped in a broken mat.
After the big man placed the corpse, he did not directly pinch the soil and add to the pit, but knelt next to the pit, respectfully kowtowed three times to the pit, and said: "Mother, the child is not filial, I can't bury you well, let's bury you here today." After his child gets ahead, he will definitely bury your old man's scenery, mother, you will live here for a while first. Mother, mother, please forgive the child's unfilial piety. With that, he lay on the ground and cried.
Seeing this, Lin Nan was also a little sentimental, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, the beast was still like this, how could people be embarrassed.
After weeping for a while, the big man stood up and picked up his hoe, ready to make up the grave.
At this time, Lin Nan suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
Hearing Lin Nan's shout, the big man was stunned for a moment, turned around and glared at Lin Nan fiercely with his eyes.
At this time, I saw Lin Nan tidy up his clothes, bowed to the big man, and said: "Lin Ziyang, Linnan, in Xialiaodong, happened to study here today, and saw the strong man lose his mother, and his heart was very uneasy. If the strong man does not think that Lin Nan is abrupt, Nan is willing to pay to help the strong man bury his mother, I don't know what the strong man wants?"
The big man looked at Lin Nan suspiciously, and after a while, he said, "Are you really willing to help me bury my mother?"
"When the road is uneven, drawing a sword to help each other is the righteousness of people in my generation. In life, who does not have a time of poverty. Today, the strong man is in trouble here, and the south is willing to help, if he has any difficulties in the south in the future, he hopes that the strong man will not hesitate to help. Lin Nan arched his hand and said.
"Of course, thank you very much. The big man clenched his fists and replied generously.
At this time, I saw Lin Zhong coming over. It turned out that Lin Zhong saw that Lin Nan hadn't come out of the woods for a long time, so he was a little uneasy, leaving Cui Yan outside to watch the car, and walked into the forest to check the reality by himself. Seeing that Lin Nan was safe and sound, he was relieved.
Seeing Lin Zhong coming over, Lin Nan said to Lin Zhong: "Lin Zhong, you go to a nearby town and invite a feng shui master to come, choose a sunny place in the forest to bury this strong man's mother, and at the same time, buy some supplies such as shrouds, paper, money, incense and candles, and by the way, a good coffin." ”
After Lin Nan finished speaking, Lin Zhong went out to prepare, and Cui Yan also went with him, and the big man was also very moved when he saw that Lin Nan was preparing so carefully.
Since this place is very close to the town, it will not take half an hour for the things to be ready, and the feng shui master has also been invited. So, Mr. Feng Shui chose a good place and buried the big man's mother. After the burial, the big man cried bitterly, Lin Nan was also a little sad in his heart, and after watching the big man worship, everyone walked out of the woods.
After walking outside the forest, Lin Nan asked, "I don't know what to call a strong man, what are your plans for the future?"
Hearing this, the big man knelt on the ground with a "plop" and cried and said: "Young Master Lin's kindness to bury his mother, Guan Hai has nothing to repay, now that the old mother has passed away, Guan Hai has nothing to worry about, if the young master does not think Guan Hai is stupid, Guan Hai is willing to follow the young master to the death, and make cattle and horses for the young master, in order to repay the young master's great kindness." ”
