It is said that Xiang Qing and his entourage came to Qian Guo Qian County, which is two places with Pei Guo Qiao, Xiang Qing decided to find someone here, before the Yellow Turban Uprising, he must gather some people who can help in the future in order to realize his idea.

This person is no one else, he is called "Tiger Idiot", that is, the one written in the book, the most loyal guard around Cao Cao, Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang, according to historical records: Xu Chu is the word Zhongkang, and Xu Chu is the person of this place.

And when Xiang Qing first read the book, he also recorded the description of Xu Chu's appearance recorded in the history books: more than eight feet long, ten girths around the waist, majestic appearance, and peerless bravery. To put it simply, he is about 1.8 meters tall, his waist is as thick as a bucket, he is definitely not ugly, and his force value is quite high.

Whether it is a film or television work or a book in later generations, the character image of Xu Chu described is very attractive to Xiang Qing, such a loyal and courageous person is Xiang Qing's ideal helper.

Xiang Qing traveled all the way in the country, and felt that the atmosphere in this place was definitely not ordinary, every house was closed doors and windows, whether it was an official road or a small road, it was rare for people to appear, and no one could be seen for half a day.

And those local wealthy families, they are all deep ditches and high bases, and the courtyard walls of their houses are heightened and reinforced, and the family members standing at the door are all wearing armor and holding long knives, Xiang Qing They don't know what happened in this place, why are they so strictly guarded?

"Mouse, do you have any information about this place?" Xiang Qing asked.

Wang Shu lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "Lord, this place is a little strange, the brothers of the Qianji Battalion said that the news of this place seems to have been forcibly blocked, everyone said that no one here has left the territory of the country, and no one can get out, and there is a brother from the Qianji Battalion who went in to inquire about the information, and he lost any contact as soon as he came in." ”

Xiang Qingyi frowned and asked, "Is that brother still alive?" ”

"Alive." Wang Shu replied: "Our Thousand Machine Battalion has a special way to ensure that he is still alive, but I don't know why he can't spread the news. ”

"Okay, I see, it's a little tricky." Xiang Qing asked, "Ah Yan, go find a local and ask about the situation." ”

Xiang Yan took the order and left, everyone rested in place, and as soon as they took out the dry food, they saw Xiang Yan leading an old man over, Xiang Yan was holding a bundle of dry firewood in his right hand, although Xiang Yan did not have any rude movements, but the old man still looked frightened, his legs kept trembling, and he wanted to run away at any time.

"Brother Xiang, I saw this old man, but the old man didn't seem to be normal." Xiang Yan said.

"Got it." Xiang Qing showed a smile on his face and said, "Don't be afraid, uncle, we are just passing by, come to ask about the situation." ”

Xiang Qing thought that he was already speaking very gently, but he didn't expect the old man to kneel directly on the ground and keep kowtowing.

"Uncles, don't kill me, I really don't have any money, I gave it to you last time, the food at home is not enough to eat in winter, please let me go, please!"

Liu Hu and Xiang Yan went up to subdue the old man, but they thought that the old man's knees seemed to have taken root on the ground, and it was difficult for the two of them to help the old man up, so they had to forcibly use brute force to help the old man up.

"Uncle, why should we kill you! We're not villains, we're just asking you something. Liu Hu said in a good voice.

Xiang Yan looked at the old man's appearance, and suddenly remembered how he was a beggar in Luoyang, he and Xiang Qing became acquainted, wasn't it because his sister bumped into Xiang Xu? When he apologized, he was like this, and for a while, he was also mixed in his heart, which was very unpleasant.

Xiang Qing asked: "Uncle, I just asked you a few questions, as long as you tell the truth, I won't embarrass you." ”

The old man replied tremblingly: "Okay, as long as you don't kill me, I will say anything!" Say anything! Don't kill me, don't kill me! ”

"Why is this place of yours like this, you should know what this problem is, right?" Xiang Qing asked.

The old man glanced at Xiang Qing suspiciously, looked around at everyone again, and saw that everyone was smiling, and there was no fierce look at all.

He asked, "You, aren't you Ge Dashuai's subordinates?" ”

"Ge Dashuai? What Ge Dashuai? Xiang Qing shook his head and said, "We don't know any Ge Dashuai, let alone his subordinates. ”

The old man replied, "Well, you are from another place, right?" ”

"Yes, just here, looking for someone."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a frightened face: "Since you are from out of town, it seems that you have just arrived, then you should leave here quickly, while Ge Dashuai still doesn't know, leave the country quickly, go as far as possible, don't let Ge Dashuai find out!" ”

Liu Hu shouted: "This old man, you are always Ge Dashuai Ge Dashuai, who is Ge Dashuai?" Who is he? ”

"Hey, don't underestimate Ge Dashuai!" The old man said anxiously: "Ge Dashuai, that is the heaven of the country!" In our country, Ge Dashuai's words, that is more effective than the Son of Heaven! If he lets you die, you have to die, let you live, then you must live uncomfortably! ”

"Uncle! You just said directly, who is the surname of this Ge Dashuai, where did he come from such great ability, the Son of Heaven was angry and ambushed millions of corpses and bled thousands of miles, this Ge Dashuai has such great ability? Wang Shu said.

"Ugh." The old man sighed and said slowly: "Two years ago, we suddenly came here with a group of mountain bandits, their leader, called Ge Pi, is Ge Dashuai, at the beginning of the county guard also sent troops to exterminate this group of mountain bandits, but I didn't expect that the army of the imperial court actually lost to them, even the county guard was cut off by Ge Dashuai's head, Ge Dashuai's power is getting bigger and bigger, gradually, he occupied the country of Chen, so that the country of Qian became his personal territory. ”

Wang Shu sneered and said: "I heard that your Thorn Shi Lord's recital to the imperial court is written under his governance, the people have enough food and clothing, and they do not close their doors at night. Could it be that this Lord Thorn's performance and style are fake? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's too dangerous outside, if you don't dislike it, it's better to go with me, this is really not the place to talk."

Xiang Qing nodded, they are not afraid of what tricks this old man who is over half a hundred years old, the so-called masters are bold, and their strength determines their confidence.

Everyone followed the old man, all the way to his house, Xiang Qing also entered the home of an ordinary farmer for the first time, and the scene in front of him really made him more deeply understand the hardships of this dynasty and ordinary people.

There was no furniture, only a bed, the stove was also piled up by himself, and there was only a small bag of moldy grain at home, and Xiang Qing couldn't tell what it was.

And on the bed, there was a dying old woman, covered with a quilt, and the quilt was filled with ordinary thatch, and she had no ability to keep out the cold, and it seemed that she was sick in bed, unable to speak at all.

After the old man came back, he immediately lit the firewood, and there was no window paper in the window of the room, and even if the firewood was lit, the temperature was not very fast, and the old man took off his coat and covered the old woman when he entered the house, which seemed to be of no avail.

Xiang Qing really couldn't bear it, and said, "Huzi, take out our futon and cover it for her." ”

Xiang Xu behind him took the lead, he took out a thick quilt from the suitcase carried by Liu Hu, and covered it with the old woman, the old woman's face was pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, it seemed that she was infected with wind and cold, and her body kept swinging.

"Mouse, find a way to glue the windows shut, it's too cold in this room, and if you go on like this, you'll freeze people."

"Xiang Yan, take out our rations and make a bowl of hot porridge."

"Ah Chun, you and Liu Hu go out to pick up some dry firewood and come back, these firewoods are all wet, and they can't be lit at all."

"No!" The people took the order and left.

The old man watched these people take action one after another, pasting the windows of the pasting of the windows, cooking for cooking, and collecting firewood all went out, Xiang Xu stood aside with his sword, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

"This, this is not appropriate, this is really inappropriate!" The old man shouted.

Xiang Qing said "get out of the way", the old man stood aside obediently, Xiang Qing sat on the edge of the bed, put the back of his hand on the old woman's forehead, and shrank back as soon as he put it on.

"It's hot!" Xiang Qing frowned and said, "If it continues to burn like this, people will burn out!" Xiao Xu, bring me a hot towel! ”

The old man stood aside, tears flowed out of his cloudy eyes, covered his face and said: "We have relied on each other for so many years, I didn't expect that such a noble young master and son of yours would be willing to help a pariah like us, I am really grateful, I can't repay it!" ”

Xiang Qing turned his head and said, "There is no nobility in my eyes." He took the hot towel from Xiang Xu's hand and put it on the old woman's forehead.

has always been a person in his last life, how can Xiang Qing know how to treat an old woman with a high fever that does not go away? If it is modern, there are still antipyretics, but in this ghost place in the barren mountains and mountains, where to find antipyretics? He also did his best to obey the destiny of heaven, and a dead horse became a live horse doctor.

And Xiang Qing also underestimated the tenacious vitality of the ancient people, this old woman's body temperature was close to forty degrees, after Xiang Qing replaced the hot towel with a cold towel, and after the hot compress and ice were exhausted, the fever miraculously subsided.

And just when Xiang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a person standing at the door.

This person's body is like a mountain bear, he wants to enter this short door, he has to completely bend down to get in, Liu Hu's body size can't be compared with him, which waist circumference is as wide as the door, it's like a human-shaped tank.

"Who are you?" The man asked.

A name instantly appeared in Xiang Qing's mind, he stood up and clenched his fists and said, "In the next Xiang Qing, Xiang Junhe." ”

"My name is Xu Chu! Xu Zhongkang! ”
