At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was an era that called for heroes to draw their swords and stand up for immortality, and there was no shortage of heroes in this era. The chivalrous spirit still existed in the late Eastern Han Dynasty after the ups and downs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin and Han dynasties, but gradually withdrew from the historical stage. The heroes of this era are no longer heroes who draw swords to help each other when they see injustice, and in the next world they belong to those generals who have chivalrous hearts and want to fight the world with their own strength.

Compared with the hardships and hardships encountered by Wei He and others on their way to the Western Regions, there was no lack of joy along the way with the horse play and the caravan. Although there are also camping in the mountains and forests and dancing with wild beasts, they have experienced several bandits robbing the road, but there is no danger. With his well-informed experience and talkative personality, he quickly mingled with the caravan, and finally the leader of the caravan deliberately diverted Hedong to protect the horse, this little brother thoughtfully diverted to Hedong, and only separated from the horse play outside the county seat in Hedong.

Standing at the gate of Xie County, the horse with a scimitar on his left and a bamboo flute on his waist played with one hand around his chest and the other hand touching his beard that grew stubble, squinting his narrow eyes and smiling at this small city three feet high.

This way, even if there is no danger, but there are not a few hardships, at this time finally arrived at the destination, Ma Play heart is naturally a lot easier, straight to West Street to find an old man surnamed Zhang.

He was a hard-working man, and after his parents died in the fire when he was young, he was always hungry and full, which also developed his later extremely greedy and delicious problem. Otherwise, he would not have seen roses blooming beautifully in the field when he was a teenager, so he dragged all the flowers down and filled them with a full bag, and walked all the way to eat all the way. Over the years, he has seen a lot of good people and bad people in Liangzhou, and he has long forgotten it, the only thing is the stinky pig that he ate in the Diren tribe in the second year of Xiping, the steamed bun hand-grabbed meat in the Wudu Qiang tribe in the fourth year, and the fragrance of the Xianbei hound roasted by Pang De on the battlefield of Xianbei Koubian for five years made him never forget and remember it in his heart.

He still remembers that Guan Yu once said: "The mung bean cake made by Mr. Zhang on West Street is the most delicious." ”

I can buy delicious food, and by the way, I asked Yang Feng's location, why not.

Holding three bean cakes in exchange for five big money, the old man smiled and filled three mung bean cakes for Ma To, scooped out a bowl of water from the pot and handed it to Ma To, saying: "Hou Sheng, this bean cake is delicious, you need to drink some water, otherwise you will choke." ”

Ma Play took the water scoop and asked with a smile: "Thank you, uncle, let me inquire about something, is there a person named Yang Feng in this Xie County?" ”

The old man looked up at Ma Yu deeply before saying, "You are looking for the tiger head, go to the Yang Martial Arts Hall on East Street to find him." ”

"Yang's Martial Arts Hall, thank you, uncle, my hometown friend asked me to send him a letter." Returning the bowl to the old man, he turned around and left, and after taking two steps, he turned around and said, "Goodbye, uncle, your bean cakes are delicious, and my brother has been talking about them for several years." ”

Yang Feng does have a great reputation in Xie County, or Hedong. Because he was born in a poor family, he often helped his neighbors, and he practiced martial arts for many years. The young people from poor families in the county were willing to be his companions and respected him very much.

When Ma Yu arrived at the Chen's martial arts hall, he found Yang Feng after a little inquiry, explained his intention, sat quietly on the ground, took out a bean cake from the package, chewed it slowly, and waited for Yang Feng to finish reading the letter.

The horse is greedy for food, but now that he has delicious bean cakes in his hand, he is reluctant to eat them. He didn't have much money, so he had to take care of his own food and drink, and he could squeeze his family out by bringing a few bottles of wine back to his brothers.

Guan Yu's letter was not long, Yang Feng closed the bamboo slip and looked at the horse and smiled. Yang Feng is indeed worthy of being called a tiger by Uncle Zhang, Yang Feng has a big head and a pair of tiger eyes that are embarrassed.

"Uncle Zhang's bean cake?"

"Hmm... Oh, yes. ”

"Changsheng and I both grew up eating snacks, Changsheng told you."

"Immortality? You said Brother Guan, he told me, it's really good, the mung bean flavor is very strong. ”

"Changsheng is a big brother everywhere, and he has never bowed his head to call me a big brother."

"I don't know, San Lang always calls like that, so I will call after San Lang."

"Thousands of miles away to deliver a letter, Yun Chang has made a good brother, how do you know Yun Chang?"

"I went to Brother Ma's house with a few robes, San Lang came over with his brother and pulled out a knife to pierce one of the robes, and his brother kicked San Lang and was beaten by Brother Guan."

"Saburo again? Why did San Lang tie your robe. ”

"San Lang is the third eldest brother of Ma's family, twelve years old. Brother Guan was detained by the official and saved Brother Guan. Brother Pang stewed his dog. ”

"San Lang is really stingy, but he dares to stab people at the age of twelve, and it's amazing when he grows up. If you save Yun Chang, you are my brother, and I will block him if there is something in the future. ”

"That dog is Saburo's life-saving benefactor, we didn't know in advance."

"That's reasonable, then you have a good relationship with Yun Chang?"

Ma Yue finished eating the bean cake, got up and shook his head and said: "I just said a few words to Brother Guan, I think he is a hero, so I just went on such a trip, or San Lang has a good relationship with Brother Guan..."

As he was talking, the horse got up and shook the bean cake crumbs that leaked on his body, and said with a smile: "The letter has also been delivered, and the cake has been eaten." I'm going back to Brother Ma's house in Liangzhou for the New Year. ”

As soon as Yang Feng heard this, he stood up, grabbed the horse who was leaving, and said: "Brother, don't leave yet, this letter is not for me, it is Yun Chang's family letter, he wants me to send my family to Liangzhou, stay at my house for the next two days, and then go together." Let's go and tell our younger siblings to go."

With that, Yang Feng took the arm of the horse and walked towards Guan Yu's house with a few brothers behind him.

At the same time, Xie County Guan Yu's family.

The room was not small but empty, and there was not even a dresser. Only a few letters signed by Guan Shen and a pedal loom hung on the wall, and the half-cut little people's clothes were placed on the couch. Guan Yu's wife, Hu Shi, was dressed in a plain shirt, wearing a cotton jacket, with green silk casually tucked behind her head, boiling a pot of corn porridge outside the house, and the five-and-a-half-year-old Guan Ping was squatting in the yard in an old jacket to tease a big rooster.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, followed by the hearty laughter of the young man.

"Sister-in-law, Wen Yuan and I are here."

Hu Shi ran his slender fingers through the hair around his ear and hurriedly walked to open the door. The palms of his hands are full of thick calluses that only crop men have, and there has been no man in the family to manage them over the years, and no matter how many people take care of them, they will suffer after all.

When the door opened, two eight-foot men flashed in, one of them had a square face and was majestic and majestic, and he was wearing the regular clothes of the county officials, holding two roosters in his hands, and as soon as he came in, he put them next to the stove, rubbed his hands and sniffed deeply at the side of the pot, and said to Hu: "The porridge cooked by my sister-in-law is so fragrant, I just bought two plucked chickens, and I just boiled a pot of chicken soup for my sister-in-law and Ping'er to make up for my body." ”

Hu Shi hurriedly waved his hand to stop the young man and said hurriedly: "Gongming, you will come here, don't bring anything." Our mother and son are still passable, how much money do you have for these two days, a chicken for five days and a half, where is it forbidden, save money to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law. When the time comes, my sister-in-law will help her with her makeup. ”

The young man who was called Gongming smiled when he heard this: "Haha, sister-in-law said that I laughed, I Xu Gongming was suddenly in a daze, I still have money to buy some things on weekdays and have money to invite Wenyuan to drink, my sister-in-law doesn't need to worry about being chic and comfortable." ”

The young man next to him was dressed in gray ** Qiu also said: "What is my sister-in-law talking about, the friendship of our three ancestors for several generations, if it weren't for Liao's filial piety for my father in the past three years, I would definitely come to Hedong once a month." ”

The young man was holding a yellow villain padded jacket in his arm, and as he spoke, he took it and hugged Guan Ping, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Ouch, I haven't seen Ping'er for three years, do you remember my uncle?" looks really eyebrows and eyes more and more like Brother Guan. Come, my uncle bought you cotton clothes, let's try to see if it fits. As he spoke, he walked into the house with Guan Ping in his arms...
