Du Zhen traveled to the village on the banks of the Wuyou River in Tianshui County, where the plague was raging. The old man Zhang's mother-in-law was bedridden in the family of the villager Zhang www.biquge.info, and he made a special trip from the county to invite Taoist priests to exorcise evil at home.

Dong Zhuo gave Du Zhen a fast horse, and they also took him by the hand, Du Zhen went to the old man Zhang's house, and heard the Taoist priest about to commit adultery outside the window, so he beat the three of them.

Old man Zhang saw those Taoist masters fleeing with their heads in their hands, and hurriedly cried and begged them to come back to treat his mother-in-law, Du Zhen listened, shook his head and said: "Uncle, these three people are here to cheat and cheat, and they are still cheating on your daughter, you still want to call them back?" ”

The old man was paralyzed on the ground, and he knew that he was a foreigner when he heard his accent, and he said angrily: "What do you know? Their runic water is very effective, and the princess of the county was cured by them. It's good now, the three Taoist masters were beaten away by you, I didn't lose all my money, and my mother-in-law's illness was not cured, you ...... You have to leave. After he finished speaking, he got up and grabbed Du Zhen's arm and entangled with him.

At this moment, his daughter's hair was messy and ran out, and she cried to Old Man Zhang: "Dad, how can you wronged a good person? If this son hadn't appeared in time, my daughter would have been humiliated by him. ”

Du Zhen was also angry in his heart, in order to keep his daughter from being insulted, he acted righteously, but he was also relied on by him. He helped the old man Zhang and explained: "Why are you so stupid and dull, those people are obviously liars, I rescued your daughter, but you blame me?" ”

Old man Zhang was still stubborn, he was even more angry, and said angrily to his daughter: "Dead Nizi, don't you care if your mother lives or dies?" I really raised you for nothing. ”

Du Zhen's heart jumped when he heard this, how could there be such a father in the world? But it was not good to beat him, only sent him to the ground, and the old man fell to the ground, his daughter saw it, but she was also distressed, leaning on her father's shoulder and crying, Du Zhen saw this father and daughter, shook his head and hated: "In order to treat your mother-in-law, your daughter's innocence is gone?" ”

Old man Zhang sat on the ground and sobbed: "What else can I do with a cropper? My family was poor, and I went to ask for help, but they heard my surname Zhang, and they were willing to help me, and I had no money to pay respect, so I finally invited them. One is an old woman and a daughter, is life or reputation important? How do you let me choose? The implication of his words is that if he has a way, he will not give up his daughter.

Du Zhen stomped his feet angrily, and he said: "I said, why don't you understand, these people are crooked, they are by no means good people, they can treat people?" Joke! ”

Old man Zhang was about to argue, but laughter came from the wall, "Hahaha, you're here to chase the horse, don't you just lead it and walk away?" It's really nosy. The talisman water of those Taoist priests is really able to cure diseases, and they will immediately eliminate diseases and disasters after drinking, but now they have been beaten away by you, hahaha. ”

Du Zhen and the others looked up, and there was a person lying on the wall, it was the young man from Fang Cai. When Old Man Zhang saw that he was wearing filial piety clothes, he scolded: "Bastard boy, get down, there are dead people in your family, and you can't enter other people's homes, this is a taboo, don't you understand?" ”

The young man was not afraid to laugh back, and even jumped into the yard, patted the soil on his buttocks, and said: "Old man, I see that your family is also dying, so don't be afraid of any taboos, hehe." ”

Old man Zhang was angry, so he went to arrest him, but he was very dexterous, dodged twice, then hid behind Du Zhen, poked out his head and made trouble with Old Man Zhang: "Hey, I'm talking for you, why do you want to drive me away?" ”

Du Zhen turned around and grabbed his hands and asked, "Little brother, how do you know that they can really heal?" ”

The young man stared at him with wide eyes, and replied with a stiff neck: "I told you that it is true, I am not lying, but it is not that they know how to cure diseases, but that the talisman paper in their hands can cure this plague." Alas, if I had money, I would have asked Fu Shui to save my father's life. ”

Old man Zhang didn't drive him anymore at this moment, and choked with Du Zhen: "Did you hear that? Even he knows, don't you still believe it? Now how do you want me to be good? I almost gave up my daughter's innocence, but the medicine came to my mouth but you beat people away, you don't want to run away today, if my mother-in-law dies, you will pay for her life. ”

Du Zhen listened like a thunderbolt from the blue, but he didn't expect that he had done something wrong with good intentions, regretted not listening to Uncle Yang, and didn't care about other people's affairs outside.

The young man smiled on his face, looked at the girl, stepped forward, teased her chin with his dirty hands, and said: "Little sister, she looks very handsome, fortunately her body has not been ruined, you see how this son is, he just saved you, do you want to make a promise?" ”

Ordinary women are teased like this, I am afraid that they have long been ashamed to avoid him, but she doesn't seem to be tired of him, and she is not ashamed to dodge, and she replied to him: "I am from a poor family, I am afraid that I am not worthy of this rich and noble son." ”

The young man said to Old Man Zhang again: "Uncle, I think you don't want to kill people at every turn, how good it would be for him to be a door-to-door son-in-law and die with his life." After he finished speaking, he laughed, and the old man's daughter also laughed.

Du Zhen shook his head again and again, and said hurriedly: "Little brother, you don't want to laugh, you have something important in your lower body, how can you stay here?" ”

Old man Zhang's girl hurriedly said: "Don't worry, son, this little brother is teasing you." ”

At this moment, the old man Zhang said angrily: "Have you made enough trouble?" I don't think my mother-in-law will last a few days, she is now sick and has no medicine, so she can only wait for death...... Are you still having fun here? ”

The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Uncle, what are you afraid of?" The son in front of him looks like a rich and noble man, and he has a fast horse, wouldn't it be good if he asked him to go to the county to buy some rune paper for you and come back? ”

Old man Zhang shook his head and said, "Without those Taoist practices, it would be useless to ask for some rune paper." ”

The young man patted him on the shoulder and replied, "It doesn't matter if you do it or not, but the rune paper is the most important." I went to the county a few days ago, and I heard others talk about it, don't worry, uncle, you will leave this matter to him. ”

Old man Zhang turned his head to look at Du Zhen, as if waiting for him to reply, Du Zhen was stunned for a moment, but it was extremely difficult to believe that those Taoist talisman paper would be so effective, but he was helpless, so he replied: "As long as the rune paper, right?" I'll buy some for you. After saying this, he was about to lead the horse, but the young man stopped him and said to him, "Brother, don't worry, I smell the smell of vegetables in the hall, and I haven't eaten yet, so you wait for me, and I will go with you." "His nose is a real spirit, and the wine and food were packed back by the Taoist priest in the wine house, but he has not eaten it yet.

Du Zhen looked at him in surprise and asked, "What, you want me to go together?" ”

The young man nodded, patted the old man on the shoulder and said to Du Zhen: "Of course, otherwise, if you run away by yourself, won't we be deceived by you?" Old man Zhang also nodded when he heard this, and said, "Yes, yes, you follow him to prevent him from running away from this yard." ”

The young man said, "Don't worry, let me eat something first, so that I can have the strength to help you keep an eye on him." After he finished speaking, he went to the hall and took the old man's daughter with him.

Du Zhen seemed to be angry, but he couldn't get angry, what the young man said was reasonable, but he was so upright, but when he arrived here, he was suspected by a few of his villagers as a person who did not keep his promises, he shook his head at the moment, sighed, and stood in the courtyard waiting for the young man.

After an hour of incense, the young man finally relieved his cravings, stood up and stretched again, looked at Du Zhen's black horse and asked, "Brother, don't you worry about the two of you riding on this big horse?" ”

Du Zhen felt sorry for Ma'er, he said: "Little brother, I don't think you can go, if you don't believe that I can return, my fan is here for you, how about it?" With that, he took out a feather fan from his package and handed it to the young man.

The young man looked at it, shook his head, and said, "It's getting colder and colder, what do I want to do with a fan?" No, I'd better go with me. You are a foreigner, and you don't know where the view is, if you delay the hour, you will die here. ”

The old man came up and said the word "right" twice, and said: "What this little brother said is very true, my mother-in-law's life will be handed over to you, please go and go back quickly." ”

Du Zhen was helpless, so he could only reply: "You are thin, you can carry you." After saying that, he put the feather fan on the back belt and led the horse out of the yard, the young man followed, Du Zhen signaled to let him go first, the horse and the young man were as high, he pedaled, Xu is arm weakness, he couldn't climb up. Du Zhen saw that he was clumsy, so he lifted his buttocks, and he also got on the horse, sitting behind him, the young man's face flushed, and he turned his head sideways and said shyly: "Why do you sit behind me?" ”

Du Zhen's head pressed on his shoulder, and he said angrily: "My horse is running very fast, I'm afraid of falling you down, sit down for me." After he finished speaking, he pulled the reins, clamped his legs, and the horse set off and galloped towards Tianshui County.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, the more the old man Zhang thought about it at this moment, the more wrong he became, he woke up like a dream, and shouted with regret: "It's bad, I was deceived by his two hairy boys, how can I be so real, I actually believe in the boy who wears filial piety." ”

The daughter was puzzled and asked her father, "What did they deceive us?" ”

Old man Zhang thought about it and said: "This meal is a lot of money, it's over, they won't come back now, your mother's illness is hopeless......"

The daughter was not in a hurry to persuade him: "Dad, don't worry, the two of them will definitely come back to save my mother." ”

Old man Zhang said angrily to his daughter: "How dare you be so sure? ”

The daughter replied: "These two people have a local accent and a foreign accent, how can they partner to deceive us?" Moreover, the two of them didn't know each other at all, and the son thought that Dai Xiao's little brother was a man, but he was a girl at all. ”

Old man Zhang was startled and asked him, "Is he a daughter?" I didn't even see it, how did you see it? ”

The girl laughed, "When she touched my chin with her finger, I knew it was my daughter's hand." ”
