4. Heaven and earth can be learned
Wang Bo, who was in a good mood, led the horse into the mountain forest, and just walked a few steps, "Bah! With a broken drink, two people stood up seven or eight steps in front of them, both black-faced men with yellow scarves on their heads.
The rough man on the left, with a wave of the two large round hammers of indistinguishable colors held in both hands, shouted with a "bang": "Put down the horses and water bags!" Stay and wait for your life! ”
Wang Bo, who was startled, hurriedly straightened the weapon in his hand, and saw that the two of them did not rush before he calmed down.
Xu Chu next to him was unhappy, and waved the long knife vigorously with a "woo", and shouted in his mouth: "Where did the thief come from?" What kind of big-tailed wolf hides in the grass? That depends on whether the second master agrees or not! ”
"I don't know what to do!" Dahan was about to fight with Xu Chu with a double hammer, but was stopped by Wang Bo.
"Stop! I don't think you're in good clothes, not like an official soldier! Could it be the Yellow Turban Brothers who have broken up here? Wang Bo asked the lean middle-aged man who was standing half a step forward on the left. After a pause, he said: "We were also killed and scattered by the official army and fled here!" ”
The rough man's eyes glared, and he wanted to scold, but the middle-aged man slapped back and said: "Since it is the same origin yellow scarf, why don't you see the mark of this army?" Could it be that you want to rebel against the Heavenly Master? ”
"I waited for my life to escape here, and I accidentally lost it."
"Humph! Lost by accident? It is clearly deliberately abandoned! I have been waiting for you for a long time, if it weren't for you and others to ambush and kill the officers and soldiers, I would have cut off your heads long ago! The middle-aged man snapped.
Wang Bo looked at Xu Chu next to him, glanced at the middle-aged man, and responded with some amusement: "Just two people?" ”
"Hahaha...... Kid is rampant! A certain Yang Feng also came and went freely in thousands of troops, how could you and other dozens of broken people dare to be arrogant? ”
"I'm afraid of this time, and that time! The general is so good, why did he fall to this? Can't you bear to kill the emperor? Where is Zhang Tianshi, the 'General Rengong', who has ascended to immortality? ”
"Wow!" The rough man was about to step forward again, but was stopped by Yang Feng.
"Good! Good! Good! Sharp teeth, lively thoughts, and not chaotic in case of danger! No wonder you can lead dozens of people to flee and kill the officers and soldiers? can be regarded as a young and handsome man! ”
Wang Bo secretly "puffed", and then said his words in passing: "If the general has no place for the time being? Please go to the camp with your little brother to rest! ”
The middle-aged man groaned for a while and said, "It's okay!" There is Lao Xian's brother to lead the way! ”
Wang Bo secretly "puffed" again, thinking: It's not that he wanted to get in a long time ago, and he deliberately pretended to be forced, otherwise why did he wait until Wang Bo came back from fetching water.
Seeing that the clothes and armor of the two were tattered, and their hair was messy into a chicken nest, it was estimated that they had suffered a lot of crimes, so they took the water bag and took out two pieces of dried meat hidden by Xu Chu from the side pocket, and handed them to the two, but the two did not answer, and ate and drank with their heads bored.
Wang Bo said: "If you are hungry for too long, you should not eat more, and then you will think about it when you go back to the camp." The big man replied vaguely: "Not very hungry!" I was very thirsty, and there was no shortage of wild food in the mountains, but I didn't dare to fetch water......"
Wang Bo smiled, and said no more, and waited for the two of them to finish eating.
Talking on the road, I learned that Yang Feng was one of the earliest believers to follow Zhang Jiao, because of his clever mind and courage to fight, the Yellow Turban was appointed as a party commander after the army, followed the Daqu Shuai Liao Hua to fight, Guangzong City broke after escorting the young "saint" Zhang Ning to Quyang "Digong General" Zhang Bao, the road encountered the official army interception, and most of the separation, helpless to avoid the official army, panicked, into the mountains and forests here.
The rough black-faced man is called Ping Han, or Liao Hua gave it, and he was at a loss when he asked his real name. It is Yang Feng's personal entourage.
When I returned to the cave, I saw Li Damu who was tied to the open space in front of the cave, and the lonely pestle of the stump of Zhangyu tree left behind was there, which made people wonder. At this time, Li Damu was grimacing, drooping his head and not knowing what to think there.
When everyone came back one after another, the sky also fell. A few fires were lit, and the wild vegetable broth was cooked, but this time the meat was no longer horse meat, but rabbit and rat, and a few unknown small animals, and even a small wild boar with fangs. It seems that there are many animals in this mountain.
To say that this is to survive, everyone is also working hard, and no one is lazy. The two dozen or so cowards were still under the leadership of Chen Rong, and they were doing their best to lay the thatch for everyone to sleep on.
At the mouth of the cave, piles of wild vegetables, bundles of short spears tied with straw ropes, neatly stacked.
There was not much time, and the smell of meat wafted in the open space in front of the cave. Everyone had a smile on their faces, and Wang Bo was also in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to the joy of going to the mountains for a picnic when he was a child.
Xu Chu used his helmet to hold a bunch of red unknown mountain fruits, kicked away Niu Feihu like a treasure, and sat down against Wang Bo. Cracked mouth: "I've eaten it, it's delicious!" Cattle picked! ”
Wang Bo took it, grabbed a few handfuls and handed them to Yang Feng and Ping Han, and ate them slowly, while flipping the sizzling wild boar meat on the fire with his hands.
After eating and drinking, I wanted to stand guard in several groups, but I looked at some of the people who were groping around and gave up, it was night blindness.
At this time, a considerable proportion of the symptoms of night blindness among the poor people are caused by long-term malnutrition, poor liver, and lack of vitamin A, which is also an important factor in the heavy casualties in ancient night raids.
waved to Xu Chu and asked him to call Zhou Xiu, Wang Qi, and the Niu brothers who were talking and laughing with everyone on the side. More than a dozen people, including Chen Rong, who was closely following, sat down in a circle and introduced to everyone: "This is Qu Shuai Yang Feng and the leader of Pinghan. ”
Everyone just looked at them coldly, and then remained silent. Seeing that Pinghan was about to have another seizure, Yang Feng said: "You are grateful." Brother Wang, don't mention the leader Qu Shuai again! My brother is fierce and straightforward, but his heart is not bad, I hope you will take care of one or two. After speaking, he bowed slightly.
Wang Bo also stopped Xu Chu, who was about to open his mouth, and said: "They are all people who are in trouble to survive, and everything in the past has made it disappear!" I know that you and others are suspicious of the previous captivity and persecution by the Yellow Turbans. However, is there a paradise on earth in this Han world? And he didn't do it! Think about it: What are your plans for the future? What is the way out? ”
There was a dullness, all of them looking down in thought, mixed with a slight sigh. Xu Chu patted his chest: "Why don't you go to my Xujiazhuang!" Although my family is not very rich, but there are also several acres of thin fields, and it is not a problem to feed a handful of people! ”
Wang Bo looked at everyone and said with a smile: "You are a deserter now, and you have committed a capital crime, and if you return to your hometown rashly, your family will be affected!" Besides, all the brothers crawled out of the pile of dead people together, so let's get alive together! With so many people, how can you ...... Xujiazhuang? ”
Hearing Wang Bo Xu Chu raise his head, his eyes looked directly at Wang Bo, and he said: "This thief is the way of the world!" Since I have a home, I can't go back! Then follow Big Brother! Where am I going, big brother! At least you can eat enough and kill those dogs, officials and thieves! Life is not good, early death and early reincarnation! ”
The Niu brothers glanced at each other, and they all nodded at Niu Da. Niu Da said in a deep voice: "We want to go home tomorrow, let our family settle in the ground first, and then hand over these rotten lives to the eldest brother, although we will not give up!" The other five also said in unison: "Even if you die, you will not give up!" ”
Zhou Xiu slapped his thigh, glanced at Wang Qi, and then followed by Hong Sheng: "There is only one person left in my family!" There is no concern, I am willing to follow the leader and never deviate! Wang Qi also responded: "I won't leave!" ”
Wang Bo swept the rest of Chen Rong and Yang Feng, learning to clasp his hands into fists as seen in film and television dramas, bowed down and asked everyone loudly and shouted: "If you don't leave and don't give up, I will live and die together!" This heart and this scene, heaven and earth can be learned! ”
Xu Chu, the Niu brothers, Zhou Xiu and Wang Qi also clasped their fists, and roared in unison: "If you don't leave and never give up, I will live and die together!" Then his eyes flashed, and he bowed his head.
Chen Rong muttered to himself: "I am also alone, but my poor nephew, I don't know...... Alas......" said that, his face was full of tears.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Wang Bo whispered: "The old man doesn't have to be too sad, if you don't have a place to go for the time being, you can settle down here first, and when the war subsides in the future, I should go to Zhongqiu to look for it!" Chen Rong nodded: "That's the only way!" Alas......"
Wang Bo sighed: "The court is corrupt, the arrogant and the powerful are rampant, the war is not stopped, and the lives of the common people are as cheap as dogs!" ”
Yang Feng, who had never spoken, waved his fist vigorously and said: "This heaven kills the world, everything is like a dog!" We should follow the 'great sage and good teacher' who passed away, tear the flag and rebel, and kill all the dog officials and gentry! Return the people to the prosperous world! Even if we are broken, we have no regrets! ”
"Yes!" Ping Han should be peaceful.
Wang Boying said: "This matter is very important, we have to think about it carefully, and then how about making a plan?" ”
"That's it! Let's rest first! ”
Back in the cave, lying on the weak straw mat, covered with the animal skin that Xu Chu had found out of nowhere, Wang Bo, who was deeply tired, couldn't sleep, and his mind kept echoing everything that happened that day.
All kinds of past lives are vivid, as if they happened yesterday. The triangular smile echoed in his ears, and Wang Bo, who never believed in ghosts and gods, felt like he had a nightmare about what happened.
Thinking of his kind parents and his kind-hearted wife who chattered endlessly, as well as his lively son, I couldn't help but burst into tears. I want to hug my head and cry, but I feel that it is not the place. It seems that the trick of triangular eyes not allowing you to drink "Meng Po soup" is indeed poisonous enough!
Suddenly in this bloody and chaotic world, except for the confusion at the beginning, Wang Bo actually didn't panic much, after all, he had a near-death experience; The evil spirits of terror have been seen; The nightmare of rebirth has woken up, what else can stimulate Wang Bo's already poisonous mind? What else could hurt Wang Bo's iron will?
thought of Xu Er's stunned smirk; Under the slashing of the officers and soldiers, the wolf rushed to the crowd...... Wang Bo thought hatefully: Since the triangular eye threw the master into this ghost world, the master will live a good life! Live a bang! Live upside down! Let your dog's regret go! Let's go crazy! If you have the ability, let Lao Tzu die again! Now there is a tiger idiot! Who are you afraid of?
So what should I do? How can I survive in this troubled world of fierce people? Wang Bo, who was tossing and turning, simply sat up and let his thoughts run wild in a daze.
In the troubled times of the Yellow Turban, Jizhou should be Hebei in the previous life, where is this mountain? Julu, Changshan ...... Place names float through my mind. Right! This mountain should be the Taihang Mountain in the previous life, so turning over this mountain is Shanxi, which is now Bingzhou. The northern end of Bingzhou is also his hometown, and now it should be called Yanmen or Shuofang!
Wang Bo, who used to love to read, is no stranger to ancient Chinese history, and he talks endlessly with others, especially about several famous wars and historical generals. The TV series version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also never tired of watching, so much so that my wife often scolds it for being a "dog fight" after seeing it. But Wang Bo is only half-baked, and he is not an expert or professor in ancient history. Therefore, I also know a little about these ancient place names, only the approximate direction, and do not know the exact location. But it's not far from home, at least it's much better than being in the south.
Thinking of his hometown, Wang Boton felt instantly excited.
If the nomads in the direction of Mongolia in ancient times wanted to plunder the Central Plains, in addition to the direction of Beijing, they had to pass through their hometown Yanmen Pass. The vicinity of Yanmen Pass is a wild goose wing-shaped triangle composed of huge mountains such as Luliang Mountain, Heng Mountain, and Taihang Mountain. A little further north, the remaining veins of Yinshan were almost sealed.
If you can occupy this place and set up a pass in the surrounding mountains, you can live and work here in peace and contentment, not to mention that there is a Hongtao Mountain in the middle that can be attacked and retreated! It is simply a feng shui treasure tailor-made for Wang Bo.
If you take the fertile Hetao area to the west, fortify it in Yinshan, and rely on the Yellow River in the south, you can stop the Hu people who are herding horses and sheep on the grassland. where horses are raised; There are all the places where the grain is produced! Hey, hey, hey! Is it still far from when the uncle dominates the rivers and lakes?
Wang Bo, who was suddenly opened, fell asleep with a happy smile.
At dawn the next day, the Niu brothers took bows and arrows and rode on the horses handed over by Wang Bo, Wang Bo also prepared some dry food, and the Niu brothers said that the village was not far from here, and they could return at noon without preparing dry food. In Wang Bo, everything was careful, and when he encountered the army, he immediately ran into the mountains and forests.
After instructing Xu Chu to line up several groups of sentry guards at the edge of the forest and on the top of the cliff, he was about to gather everyone when he heard Li Damu, who had been tied up on the stump outside the cave, shouting at Wang Bo in a heart-rending voice: "Uncle, chief! I'm convinced! I'm convinced! ”
Wang Bo walked up to him with a smile and asked, "Are you really convinced?" ”
Li Damu cracked his mouth and smiled bitterly: "I'm really convinced!" Can the chief give him a drink? ”
Seeing that Wang Bo just snorted lightly, he immediately straightened his chest and shouted sternly: "I am willing to recognize the leader as the lord!" Never give up for life, and there is no complaint when a cow is a horse! If you break this oath! It's going to be thunder every day! There is no place to die! ”
Wang Bo smiled and pretended to ponder for a while, and said, "Okay! Come on, untie him! Chen Rong stepped forward and just untied the rope, and with a "poof", Li Damu rolled his eyes and fainted.
After pinching for a long time, Li Damu, who woke up slowly, rolled his incomparably large eyes, snatched the wild vegetables, dried meat, and cold water prepared next to him, and ate and drank with a hum.
After eating, he wiped the skin of his mouth with the back of his hand, and made a "poof" sound, knelt at Wang Bo's feet, and clenched his fists with both hands: "Thank you, lord!" ”
"Get up!" Wang Bo patted his shoulder and sighed: "Alas! It's not easy to be in this troubled world! I'm not a murderer! If you want to return to the official army, you need to stay here for a few days, and then you can go by yourself when the main force of the official army here is withdrawn! ”
"The great husband stands in the world, and faith is the foundation! How can the words of a certain party not be counted! What's more, the bullshit Shangguan is greedy, every time he tries to make a certain person born and die, but he is greedy for most of the military merits and rewards, and he has long been eager to kill the thief, and now he worships the lord, that is, life and death go hand in hand! ”
"Good! Good! Good! Wang Bo picked up Li Damu, and another deliberately imitated ancient saying flew out: "If you don't leave or give up, I will live and die together!" From now on, they will all be their own brothers! The tears that moved me with big eyes filled my eyes and I choked up.
"Come here! Come here! The boss has something to say! Hurry up, hurry up! With Xu Chu's roar, the crowd quickly gathered in the open space in front of the cave and looked at Wang Bo who was standing in the middle.
