Chapter 280: Villagers 3/3
Lu Bu hurried through the grove again, his heart full of thoughts of frustration and remorse.
Really, I'm so stupid, I just know that wolves in winter come out to eat people........ How did I come up with the idea of going up and fighting that man? Isn't it enough to shoot arrows from afar? Obviously, it's only a little bit away, it's just a little bit away, and it can surround the Chen thief, hateful, hateful!
As he ran, he threw away his weapon and took off his armor so that he could run faster. When they reached the edge of the woods, the red rabbit horse was gnawing on the grass at the edge of the woods, and its long ears fluttered from time to time. Lu Bu took three steps and made two steps, rushed to the side of the red rabbit horse, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, pulled the horse's head, and just saw his own soldiers being beaten and scattered.
"Thief Chen, he will settle accounts with you in the future!"
Lu Bu put down a cruel word, beat his horse and fled in a hurry.
In the woods, Zhang Liao pounced like a mad tiger and slashed at Chen Cheng's body. There was a loud sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the hard steel armor was cut open, but the blade was still blocked by the chain mail inside. This sword not only failed to kill the enemy, but broke all the blades.
Chen Cheng released the handle of the knife with his left hand and changed it to a single hand with his right hand. When he was stabbed in the body, he hit Zhang Liao's helmet with a punch.
There was a violent force of shock from the leather gloves, as if the phalanges were about to break. The force was reciprocal, and the force of his fist was so violently repulsed, and the force that struck the enemy was just as powerful. Zhang Liao was punched in the head, and his whole body was shocked, and immediately his eyes went black, and the feeling of nausea and dizziness appeared at the same time.
By the time he came to his senses again, he was already tied up in a sturdy knot. His body was jolting up and down, and he opened his eyes and looked out, and it turned out that he was lying on top of a large cart. The front and back and left and right are the former Lu Bujun soldiers who have lost their clothes and armor and have their hands empty.
The reason why they say "Yuan" is because they are now prisoners. Farther away, the cavalry of the Western Liang Army was escorting their prisoners of war in the direction of Chang'an.
Zhang Liao sighed and asked, "Did we lose?" ”
The soldier on the side was his old subordinate, and when he heard the question, he turned his head to look at it, and then said happily: "General, you are awake!" ”
Then he said gloomily: "Yes, we lost." ”
Although Zhang Liao already knew this result, he still felt bitter at this time. If it was not so anxious to advance westward, if it was for the soldiers to repair for a few days first, if it was not to waste strength on Duan Xuanjun........... He sighed abruptly, what's the use of thinking so much?
The general of the defeated army, no longer speak bravely!
Zhang Liao closed his eyes, but opened them suddenly, and asked, "Can the lord go back to Chang'an?" ”
The people on the left and right looked at each other, then shook their heads together and said, "I don't know." ”
"I didn't see it!"
Lu Bu rode the red rabbit horse into the woods in front of him, and all the weapons and armor on his body were lost. He was now tired, hungry and sleepy, and tried to stop and rest several times, but the neighing of horses and the barking of dogs could be heard behind him, and he had to continue to flee.
I don't know how long he walked, but by the time he had walked out of the woods, across the river and a cemetery, a day and a night had passed, and now it was night, and the moon had risen in the middle of the sky. He was already sleepy and tired, and the red rabbit horse under his crotch was also hungry, and while his master was thinking, he gnawed on the turf violently.
Lu Bu raised his eyes and looked around, all around him was pitch black, and he didn't know where he was at all, but fortunately, the pursuers behind him seemed to have been thrown away. There were no pursuers to follow, so he was so determined that he arbitrarily tied the red rabbit horse to the tree, and then went to the horse to turn over something to eat.
But he is a general in the army, and he has always taken care of these things by his own soldiers, and he rarely brings food with him. After a while, the horse's back turned out to be empty. There was nothing but a wine sac. Lu Bu felt remorseful in his heart, why didn't he think about getting some dry food when he ran away? He usually doesn't pay attention to those hard buns at all, but now he keeps secreting saliva in his mouth when he thinks about it.
If you don't have food, you can only drink. Lu Bu lifted the wine bag and poured the little wine he had left down his throat. The heat rose from his stomach, but he felt even hungrier. He looked at the red rabbit horse who was leisurely eating grass, and suddenly a good idea was born in his heart.
Horses can eat grass, can't I? Hungry, Lu Bu stretched out and pulled up a handful of grass, put it in his mouth and chewed. The bitter taste immediately flooded the taste buds, and green juice flowed from the corners of the mouth. Lu Bu chewed it twice, and immediately spit out the chewed grass ball.
Made, this is for the animals!
He spat a few mouthfuls of saliva hard, and his stomach became even hungrier. But now there was nothing to eat, and it was night, and it was not convenient to catch birds, so I had to drink a few sips of water in the stream, and then leaned against the trunk of a tree and fell asleep.
In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the palace in Chang'an. On the left and right are beautiful women dressed in silk and satin, and the table in front of them is full of wine and delicacies. Lu Bu happened to be hungry, grabbed a pig's trotter and gnawed it. The pig's trotters are stewed crispy, and when you bite into your mouth, you suddenly have a sweet feeling.
He gnawed the pig's trotters in two bites, but he didn't quench his hunger at all, but wanted to eat more. grabbed a large piece of sauced beef again, and was about to put it in his mouth, but he only heard a loud shout, "Where is Lu Bu going?" ”
Raising his head, Lu Bu suddenly found a majestic man striding up, holding an exaggerated and peculiar Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand. The sauced beef in his hand slipped quietly, anger filled his chest, and he involuntarily shouted: "Thief Chen! ”
Screaming, Lu Bu sat up suddenly. There was a chattering sound all around. The dew on the grass on the ground has not dried, but it is at the edge of the woods, and where is it in the palace of Chang'an?
He muttered to himself, "It turned out to be a dream!" ”
stood up and was about to go on the road again, but Lu Bu suddenly froze. He looked around, and all around him were empty, and the red rabbit horse tied to the tree was gone. Lu Bu was first stunned, and then roared angrily, ", why is the Red Rabbit Horse gone?" ”
After the anger, the body is even weaker. Lu Bu had no choice but to put away his anger and go up to the tree and dig out a few bird eggs to eat. This is what he did when he was a child, and after he joined the army, he quickly got ahead and never did it again. Now that he is a Feng woman again, he has no emotion at all, he just feels that the eggs are too few and too small, and after eating them, he doesn't feel anything at all.
He stuffed something into his stomach and picked a random direction. No matter what, you can't stay where you are. The Xiliang thief even brought the dog, and if he didn't run away, he was waiting for death. When passing a stream, Lu Bu jumped into the water again, trying to catch a fish to eat, but now he has no tools in his hand, and he has been hungry for almost two days, where does he still have the strength to catch fish?
Lu Bu worked hard for a while, but he didn't catch anything, so he had to move on. By noon, I finally saw a village. From afar, you can smell the aroma coming from the village. He ran towards the village, recognizing the scent coming from the air.
There is salted fish, there is jerky.......... Saliva was frantically secreted in his mouth, and Lu Bu rushed to the vicinity of the village, but stopped again. In front of him, several village dogs barked at him.
"Woohoo!"
"Woohoo!"
There were just a few earth dogs, and Lu Bu didn't pay attention to them at all, but more than a dozen villagers behind the dogs heard the barking and ran out. They carried dung forks, flails, poles and other agricultural tools in their hands, and a few of them carried ring-headed knives and bows and arrows in their hands. Guanzhong is a land of four stops, surrounded by mountains, and the villages close to it are equipped with bows and arrows.
In the past, Lu Bu could destroy such a few villagers in the countryside at will, and he could easily slaughter the village. But now it is the tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by the dogs, looking at the bright ring knife, looking at the bow and arrow that leads but does not fire, and the sharp dung fork, Lu Bu had to suppress the killing intent in his heart, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said a little flatteringly: "Uncle, can you give me something to eat?" I haven't eaten in days, and I'm so hungry! ”
The village chief walked out from behind the young men and asked, "Who are you?" Which side is it? ”
"Huh? What's on which side? ”
"Uncle I asked if you were Xiliangjun or Lu Bujun?"
Lu Bu was stunned and was about to speak, but suddenly remembered the villager who pointed him the wrong path before, so he said: "We are General Duan Xuan's subordinates, and we were defeated by the heavenly Lu Bu army by the river the day before yesterday, and somehow ran here." ”
"Oh, it's General Duan's subordinates." The expression on the village chief's face softened, and he asked, "How did you get defeated by Lu Bujun?" ”
The muscles on Lu Bu's face trembled twice, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Thief Chen drove us to take the lead, and after Lu Bu's cavalry charged us, he took the opportunity to attack Lu Bu from behind. We were surrounded on the edge of Weishui, and before the Xiliang thieves could kill us, our soldiers and horses were scattered by Lu Bu's cavalry. ”
"I see!"
The expression on the village chief's face became more and more relaxed, and he sighed: "If General Huangfu Song is still here, how can such a thing happen?" Since it is General Duan Xuan's subordinates, it is also our Guanzhong people, come, let's go into the village and have a hot meal. ”
Lu Bu was overjoyed in his heart, took a few steps forward, and arched his hand: "Then thank you, uncle!" ”
Several dogs barked at him, and the village chief kicked the leader, and the dog whimpered and ran away, still barking. The village chief scolded a few words at a few earth dogs, turned his head, and said to Lu Bu: "Follow me." ”
Surrounded by villagers, Lu Bu followed the village chief to the village and entered a house. There is a large tiled house in the courtyard, as well as several thatched-roof adobe houses. The village chief led Lu Bu into the tiled house and asked him to pour some muddy wine.
Lu Bu was hungry in his stomach, so he grabbed the wine bowl and drank it, his movements were a little hurried, but the wine was spilled on his body. The village chief put down the wine bowl with a smile and said, "Drink slowly, there is more!" ”
The wine was not good at all, and it was even a little bitter, but Lu Bu didn't care about it, drank several bowls in a row, and then asked, "When will the food come up?" ”
The village chief smiled and said, "The strong men stay here for a while, I'll go and urge them." ”
With that, he put on his shoes and walked out, and a few words of local language rang out outside. Lu Bu poured some more wine into the bowl and was about to drink it again, but he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside. He was startled, jumped up violently, and was about to rush outside, but his feet were weak, and his stomach hurt inside.
A few sturdy villagers rushed in with fishing nets and surrounded Lu Bu in the center.
"Uncle, what's going on?"
Lu Bu shouted: "I'm General Duan Xuan's subordinate, don't catch the wrong good person!" ”
The village chief stuck his head in from the door, glanced at it, and replied, "It's not wrong, except for Lu Bu, who else looks so tall?" ”
He shouted to the villagers, "What are you waiting for? Arrest him! ”
