"What a shame!" The worm stood at the intersection, a little dazed. He hadn't been home for more than two years, and now, he couldn't find his way home. When I left, there were still crops nearby, but now, I was at a crossroads, and there were neat and dense houses on the front and back.

The outline of Daqing Mountain is vaguely visible, but how to get there is actually stumped by the little worm.

"Captain, isn't your house here?" Behind the worm, there were ten soldiers leading war horses and carrying bags in the water.

"Of course my home is here, but the last time Lao Tzu came back was two years ago, where did I know that this place has changed so much, and the previous roads are gone." The little worm scratched his head in annoyance, "No matter, let's just aim at Daqing Mountain, we can always get there." ”

Everyone was a little helpless, looking around, there were dense houses, streets, alleys and countless lanes, if you really want to go like this, you will turn back to the same place in all directions.

Fortunately, the eleven soldiers in their line, all of whom were leading their horses, stood still at the entrance of the street and attracted great attention, and after a while, several street patrolmen wearing soap clothes, horizontal knives at their waists and hips, and iron chains quickly walked over.

The leader of the catcher quickly bowed to the little worm, but suddenly shouted: "Little worm, are you back?" ”

"Brother Zhuzi, it's you, are you catching now?" The worm also screamed happily. The name of the little worm, since his official became bigger and bigger, it has become less and less called, and now only familiar chiefs will call him that, which sounds very kind.

"Little worm, you're a big official." The pillar looked enviously at the ten soldiers behind the worm, "These are your guards!" ”

Xiao Worm laughed: "Where to be a big official, these are all colleagues, who came to Wuyi to participate in the martial arts exam." Am I not from Wuyi? That's why the chief sent me to bring them back, I'm a local, I can take good care of them, let them devote themselves to the exam, and win glory for our right guard. ”

"That's it! So what kind of official are you now? The pillar asked.

"The Xuanjie captain of the eighth grade!" Bug Road.

"Oh, it's the eighth product!" Zhu Zi nodded: "That's not a big official, but compared to me, it's really a heaven and an earth, when I was going to join the army, my father and mother didn't let me live or die, but you went, hey!" ”

Looking at the pillar's disappointed look, Xiao Worm comforted: "You're not bad now, what a good place we have in Wuyi!" Look at your majesty. ”

"What a majesty!" The pillar pouted.

The two of them were talking, but the ten soldiers behind the worm had different faces. Captain of the Eight Pinxuan Festival, isn't the official big? In the army, this is a serious brigade commander, with three battalions under his command, a full 3,000 people.

"Brother Zhuzi, there are too many changes here, I can't find my way home." The worm scratched his head embarrassedly and said.

Zhu Zi laughed happily: "You haven't been back for several years, let's be here, but it's the same every day, I'll show you the way, you go home first to see your uncle and aunt, let's make an appointment and have a good drink." ”

"Yes, yes, but not for the next two days, I have to settle these brothers first." Bug Road.

"Look, you don't even know the road, after I get off duty today, I will take two days off to be your guide." The pillar patted the insect on the shoulder enthusiastically and said.

"Then there is really Brother Lao Zhuzi, to be honest, I really have no bottom in my heart now. That's changed so much. "Little Worm Road.

pointed out the way, and the little worm and his party said goodbye and left, and behind them, there was a concerned voice from the pillar: "Be careful not to let the horse startle, there are many people here." ”

Xiao Worm smiled and turned around and said, "Brother Zhuzi, don't worry, we are all war horses, I haven't seen any big scenes, I can't scare them." ”

Everyone laughed.

"Brigade Marshal, I just found out today that your official is not too big!" One of the sergeants laughed.

At one word, all ten people burst out laughing.

"What do you know?" Xiao Worm said disapprehantly: "In this place of Wuyi, maybe you can pick one up and come out, and the grade is higher than mine, Brother Zhuzi is on an errand in such a place, it is Li Xiang, maybe I can often see it, so what am I, the captain of the Eighth Rank Xuanjie!" If you don't go to Wuyi, you don't know that you are a small official! ”

Everyone suddenly thought in their hearts, thinking about it, Wuyi is a place where the Prime Minister's Mansion, the major Shangshu Mansions and various official yamen are concentrated, and the big officials grab a lot of them.

"Next, everyone will stay in Wuyi for a long time, and you will only be able to go back before the year, so ah, you have to clamp your tail, don't be arrogant, if you break the rules, don't say that I won't save you, and I will punish you again in accordance with military law after I come out." Bug Road.

"Yes, Brigade Marshal!" Ten soldiers said solemnly.

Ten people led the horses, lined up in a line, walked through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived at the house of the little worm when the sunset covered the sky. Xiao Worm was a little dazed, in the past, around his house, there were fields, and there was a ditch in front of the door, but he didn't come back for two years, except for this ditch, the others were all houses.

"Dad, mother, I'm back!" Pushing the door open, the worm screamed.

The big courtyard with three entrances and three exits, in the current Wuyi, is definitely at the level of a rich man, but when the little worm stepped into the door, he was stunned, and the accompanying soldiers were also a little dazed.

In the big courtyard, where there was barely a place to put your feet, one place was full of kudzu vines, an old man was standing between the stone mortars, wielding a stone hammer, and vigorously scooping something, and the other half of the ground was covered with all kinds of things, and a woman was bending down to pick them up in the basket.

Xiao Worm's face was a little hot, he often boasted that his family was quite rich along the way, but now it was such a situation.

"The worm is back!" The old man and the woman looked up and saw the worm, and almost screamed in unison, and then in the blink of an eye, they came to the worm, and the old man stretched out half of his hand, as if he wanted to touch the worm, but he took it back, and looked the worm up and down with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were full of smiles. But the woman grabbed the worm's arm, and when she looked up and down, her eyes were red.

It wasn't until he saw the people behind the worm that he wiped his eyes.

"Dad, mother, what are you doing here? Don't have enough money? Can our family afford to work so hard? The worm asked, pointing to something in the yard.

The little insect father smiled: "There is no shortage of money at home, there is no shortage of anything, even if you sit and eat, sit and wear, it is no problem, but your old son and mother are all cheap bones, and if you don't move for three days, you will have back pain, which is a good thing." The cakes made after beating the kudzu vine are now very popular with the old men in Wuyi! I can sell it at a high price. Look at this side again, these medicinal materials are all I went to Daqing Mountain to find back, wild, good medicinal effect, much higher than the price they planted! It's better to pick one up than to throw one, don't you say bug? ”

"Okay, it's okay for your second elder to be happy, just don't be tired." Xiao Worm helplessly beckoned to his companions behind him: "Brothers, help clean up, otherwise our horses will have no place to tie up." ”

Ten soldiers suddenly agreed, threw down the salute, divided the yard by two, and in a blink of an eye, the courtyard was cleaned up, and the other few simply walked to the stone mortar and helped to pick up the kudzu vine.

"Worms, are they?" The old man pulled the worm aside and asked.

"These are all here to take the martial arts exam in Wuyi, our general knows that I am a native of Wuyi, let me bring them back so that I can take care of them, Dad, do you know what the martial arts exam is?" Bug Road.

"Of course I know, I heard that this time there are civil and military champions, Tanhua, and Bangyan, anyway, they are all very noble people!" The old man said.

"Yes, maybe Wu Zhuangyuan is one of them!" The worm laughed.

The old man suddenly became nervous: "Then you still let them work, military master, military master, where do you leave it, the old man will do it himself!" ”

The worm laughed and pulled Daddy back.

What if you win the martial champion? When I arrived in the army, the starting point was only Captain Renyong, and I was a captain of Imperial Insult, and I was even worse than myself. The hierarchy in the army is much stronger than in the local ones.

"It's okay, let them do it, they're young, they'll finish it for you in three or two, you, help my mother go and get us a table of delicious food, these people are all big-bellied men, more oil and water, and enough portions." Bug Road.

"Are you alright?" The old man was a little worried.

"It's all right!" The worm laughed.

The old man suddenly smiled, he is not stupid, since his son said so, it is naturally because he has confidence, although he doesn't know what kind of official his son is, but even Wu Zhuangyuan can not look at it, this official is naturally not small.

At dinner in the evening, the ten soldiers finally understood that the worm said that his family was rich, and he really didn't tell a lie. On the big table of eight immortals, the dishes are all packed by pots, chickens, ducks, fish, mutton and pork are all-encompassing, there are more than ten dishes on the whole table, but I didn't see a pot of green vegetables, the big jar of wine on the ground has just been opened, and the wine is fragrant, and I know that it is definitely a good wine. Such a meal, they would not dare to think of in the army. I'm afraid it won't take a few taels of silver to buy it.

Lifting the wine jug, Xiao Worm filled everyone's bowl with wine: "Brothers, this time the ten of you are here on behalf of our entire Right Weiwei, the face of Right Weiwei, and the face of our General Shi, whether you can go back with glory depends on your performance." ”

"Don't worry, the brigade commander." The ten sergeants spoke in unison, but the little insect father and mother standing on the side were startled, and the spirit of the young soldier was really enviable.

"Today, you will treat this as your own home, open to eat, let go of drinking, tomorrow, you will have to enter the barracks, there, but there are other eleven guards of the soldiers, there are also martial artists from all over the country, enter there, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds, if anyone loses the face of the right guard, I can't spare him." Bug Road. "Come, drink."
