Ma Yue and others walked all the way to avoid the official road and take the path, so that if they encountered a large Xianbei army, they could abandon their horses and flee into the forest at any time.

On the second day and night, they found an uninhabited village, and when it was getting dark, they did not dare to rest in the village, so they slept in the woods three miles outside the village. I didn't dare to light a fire, and everyone brought dry food, so I swallowed it with cold water. Fortunately, there are wells in the village, and they will not fall into the dilemma of cutting off water in the Zhangye Desert before.

After dark, everyone was about to go to sleep, but at this time, a wisp of black smoke was seen rising into the sky in the distance, and Ma Yue hurriedly called the horse to play and asked him to estimate the actual distance.

"There is only one village within a radius of about five miles, and only three miles away. Most of them are Xianbei people. ”

"Tie the horse to the tree, let's go, go and see what is going on."

A group of more than 30 Qiang men took out a hard bow and straddled the scimitar and touched the fire with Ma Yue, which was the nameless village where they had fetched water during the day.

Guan Yu, the best in the group, is too burly, and all the Qiang people are also strong, Ma Yue is small but his martial arts are not good, and he has no experience. The most suitable scout is to play with horses, with rich experience in the army, after several major battles, he can be in danger, not to mention that the third-rate skills are more than enough to deal with ordinary scouts, even if they are exposed, they can be killed.

After a while, Ma Play came back and said to everyone: "The master is lucky, it is estimated that he met the Xianbei scout, the thirteen Xianbei people are wearing leather armor and the rest are all single clothes, there are a few bows but there is nothing to worry about, the only thing to be careful about is the leader wearing leather armor with a crossbow, it is estimated that it was snatched from the Han army, and he will be shot first." ”

After Ma finished playing, Ma Yue had already sketched out the general appearance in his mind, the village only had a one-mile-long path running through the north and south, and the Xianbei people lit a fire in the middle. "How's the vigilance?" he asked. Is there a chance to copy it in two? ”

Ma Yu frowned and said: "The Xianbei people roast mutton on the fire, and there are three people who act as sentry posts on the house, don't even think about outflanking, they will be discovered before they get close." ”

The man named Cheng Huan among the Qiang people said: "Everyone can rush in directly, at most two rounds of random arrows can shoot them to death, San Lang, why do you want to do so much." ”

Cheng Huan is Cheng Yin's younger brother, and he is as bearded as Cheng Yin in his early twenties, but he is obviously much lower than Cheng Yin in terms of intelligence. Ma Yue glanced at him and said: "Brother Huan, it is inevitable that there will be some damage in the hand-to-hand encounter, I don't know how many enemies we will encounter thousands of miles outside the pass, and we will die first before we find our brother." Gotta find a way to wipe them all out, wait, they're going to sleep. ”

Ma joked: "I think too, two people take turns to keep vigil, and the others sleep." On the fourth watch, he touched them and slaughtered them all. ”

Lying in the woods, the Qiang man was sleeping next to him and snoring loudly, but Ma Yue couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and he was a little nervous. The 30,000 Han army was defeated by the Xianbei people in a few months, and there was no one in the Han land who returned to the Han land, and he had to face these terrible Xianbei people in two hours. His heart is very chaotic, people say that his eldest brother and second brother died in northern Xinjiang, he said that they are still alive, but in fact, he has no bottom in his heart. The past is vivid, and countless pictures of the past have been cut into pieces and drilled into his head.

The first picture the baby saw when the baby opened his eyes was the moment when the eldest brother Ma Teng was furious, gritted his teeth, and stabbed the sharp pitchfork into the horse thief's chest...

A seven-year-old child teased his three-year-old nephew in the yard, and two tall and burly figures pushed a cart of firewood into the village, and the hearty laughter seemed to still echo in his ears...

Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, Ma Zong said goodbye to his family with a long knife on his back, rubbing the bun on his head with his big hands, he said: "San Lang is on the road alone, and the second brother always feels unsure, so I'll go with you." "It's not just Ma Zong who is down-to-earth, his majestic body also makes Ma Yue more down-to-earth...

He hid behind the cart and trembled with his legs, the first time he saw people fighting and fighting, through the gap he saw blood spraying all over the sky, Ma Zong was covered in blood and carried a long knife to cut down the enemy in front of him and shouted at Guan Yu: "Where is San Lang? Then Ma Zong squinted his eyes and smiled at him, and the smile was like sunshine to drive away all his fears...

That night in the Zhangye Desert, seven or eight guards were thirsty and wanted to kill him with green eyes, at that time he was still timid and afraid of difficult steps, it was Ma Zong Guan Yu, two nine-foot men who stood behind him with knives at all times, and he lived bravely...

The same is under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, Ma Teng thought that Ma Yue was not there on the road, he was angry and grabbed Guan Yu's collar and questioned, Ma Zong knelt down because he did not protect Ma Yue, and for countless nights, he fell asleep listening to Ma Zong's humming. The one-foot-long wound on his chest was kicked open and oozing blood, and whenever he saw Ma Yue looking at him, Ma Zong asked him angrily: "San Lang, do your eyes still hurt?" ”

When Ma Teng left, he also said that when he came back, he exchanged his head for a gold cake and gave him a carved bow.

He didn't want a hard bow, he wanted his brother to come home.

Ma Yue is not a hero of the world, what a cowardly person he is when he is reincarnated as a human since he was a child. When he was in school, he was blocked in the toilet by a few little hooligans and bullied, he didn't dare to fight back, he was afraid. When he saw the girl he liked, he didn't dare to speak, he was shy. When he encountered a wild wolf in the mountains, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move his legs, and if it weren't for the loyal big yellow dog, he would have died a long time ago. In the face of the oncoming ferocious bandits, he almost did not dare to draw his knife, and he risked his life to be seriously injured.

He is a cowardly person in his bones, but he has two eldest brothers who wholeheartedly give their lives to protect him from any harm, and they are the two men who love him the most in the world.

Guan Yu is the patron saint of Ma Yue, Guan Yu is cowardly by nature and likes to be comfortable, he dares to break through the sword mountain and the sea of fire, he can make himself fearless. And Ma Teng and Ma Zong are his backbone and his backers. He dared to follow the caravan to the Western Regions because he knew that even if he was cut into ruins outside, the second brother would still take him to find his way home, and the eldest brother was at home, and the two elder brothers loved him the most. Even if he is a waste, his brother will support him for the rest of his life.

If he is a bird, Guan Yu is his wings, his sharp beak, and his sharp claws, allowing him to complete the transformation from a chaffinch to a young eagle, and planting a dream for him to dare to fight in the sky.

And Ma Teng and Ma Zong are his land, his branches, his nest built on the cliff, his eagle. Anytime he was tired of flying, his wings were sore, and when he turned around, he was behind him.

Now, the two men who love him the most in the world are gone, and he has become an orphan and has no home. Maybe the way back will be for him to go by himself, and there will be no paving the way and bricks for him in front of him, sheltering him from the wind and rain. He was willing to be strong, but not in such a way.

They may just linger in the scenery of Mobei, lost their eyes by the wind and sand, and forget the way home.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Ma Yue clenched his fists.

This time, I changed my brother to take my brother home.
