Fan Li and Zimei rode their horses and walked forward along the river. Suddenly, a pillar of smoke rose from the jungle. Because there was no wind, the column of smoke rose very high and did not disperse.

Zimei said: "Fan Jun, look at the smoke." ”

Fan Li said: "I see, if there is cooking smoke, there will be people." Let's go ask for directions. ”

The two of them urged to sit on their horses, and after a while, they saw a thatched house in the mountains and forests flickering. Getting closer and closer. I could only hear the sound of shouting and killing from the hut.

Fan Li said: "Zi Meijun, there seems to be someone fighting on the other side of the hut. ”

Zimei glanced at the thatched hut and said, "There is only one family here, who is fighting with whom?" Could it be that a family is fighting? ”

Fan Li said: "Let's go and see." The two men stepped forward on their horses, and not far from the hut suddenly stopped their horses. I saw that in front of the thatched hut, one of the people who was fighting was a mountain man in his thirties wearing sheepskin, and the other was a monster covered in hair. There was a big white sheep lying on the ground, already dead.

Fan Li said: "This guy was stabbed by me, and he ran here to fight with others." ”

Zimei said: "He may be very hungry, you see the sheep on the ground, he killed it." ”

Fan Li said: "That person is not the opponent of this monster, I will help him, you pay attention to protect yourself." ”

Zimei said: "This time I'm prepared, he won't be able to hurt me." ”

Fan Li jumped off the horse, rushed over with his sword, and shouted, "Big brother, I'm here to help you." ”

When the man saw the helper coming, he shouted, "Thank you, brother!" ”

Fan Li looked at the monster, although one leg was injured, it was still very flexible, and screamed and pounced on the man, Fan Li waved his sword and then fought.

As soon as the monster saw Fan Li take over the fight, Fan Li was naked just now, and now he is wearing clothes, I don't know if he can still recognize it, but he knows Fan Li's sword. It was this thing that stabbed him in the thigh and injured him.

Perhaps frightened, the monster suddenly stopped attacking. As soon as you turn around, you run. Although one leg was injured, he still ran fast, and Fan Li decided that if he didn't ride a horse, he wouldn't be able to catch up with him at all.

Fan Li said: "Let's chase on horseback!" ”

The man said, "Forget it." Brother, let him go. ”

Fan Li stood up suspiciously, looked at the man and said, "Big brother, let him go like this?" ”

The man clasped his hands into fists and said, "Thank you, brother, for your help." Drove away the wildlings. ”

Zimei also came over to meet. The man said, "Mother-in-law, come out and pack up the sheep, there are guests today." ”

With the shouting, a woman in her thirties came out of the house, also wearing clothes made of sheepskin. Curtsippies to Fan Lizimei, then goes to the yard, lifts the dead sheep, hangs it on the tree, peels off the sheepskin three times or twice, picks out the internal organs, puts it in the water and washes it, puts it in the pot, and steam it on the fire.

The movements are swift and skillful. Fan Li, who was watching, was in a daze for a while.

The man said, "Brother, please sit down." "Bring a stone to Fan Li, and another stone to Zimei.

Fan Li said: "Big brother, why is there only one family here?" ”

The man said: "I don't know from afar, this radius of a hundred miles, just one of our families." He told Fan Li that his name was Jiang Lun, he was originally from Yueguo, and in order to escape the war, when he was eight years old, his father took his family and hid in the mountains for more than 20 years.

Fan Li said: "Is the old man still there?" ”

Jiang Lun said: "It's no longer there, my father was bitten by a poisonous snake and died of poisoning. When my mother first arrived, she ate poisonous mushrooms and died of poisoning. ”

What a miserable family.

Fan Li said: "Why don't you see that the eldest brother has a child?" ”

Jiang Lun shook his head and said with a gloomy expression: "I have an eight-year-old son who was dragged away by a wolf, and I only found one of his small shoes. ”

Fan Li said: "I'm sorry, I asked about your sadness." ”

Jiang Lun shook his head, wiped his face, and said, "It's okay, I survived the saddest time." It's not so uncomfortable now. ”

Fan Li said: "Big brother, if you ask something that shouldn't be asked, can you still live here?" ”

Jiang Lun looked up at Fan Li and said, "Why can't you live anymore?" ”

Fan Li said: "Your parents and your children are dead, and now your husband and wife have to face all kinds of wild beasts, as well as the wild man, and their lives are in danger anytime and anywhere." Can this still be lived? ”、

Jiang Lun said: "What can I do if I can't live? ”

Fan Li said: "Move away, move to a place where there are people, where there are many people, the strength will be great, and the beast will not be able to hurt you." ”

Jiang Lun shook his head and said, "If we don't move out, it's good to live here." ”

Fan Li said: "Big brother, let's move to the crowd and live." ”

Jiang Lun still shook his head and said, "People are more terrible than beasts. For example, the wolf, no matter how ferocious, will not eat its own kind. But man specializes in killing his own kind. Kill a lot, or a hero. Are you disgusting or not? ”

Fan Li was speechless, he once thought that he was a thinker, a military strategist, and a conspirator, he thought that he had seen through the affairs of the world. Now facing Jiang Lun, who fled into the mountains, he couldn't refute his words.

Before he crossed over, he had heard a sentence. There was no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there was no loyalty in the Three Kingdoms. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period fought for hundreds of years, and none of the wars were right, correct and just.

So, is it right or wrong to help King Yue restore the country and finally destroy the state of Wu?

When the meal started, Jiang Lun's wife brought a large pot of mutton, a large plate of mushrooms, a pot of wild vegetable soup, and a plate of red mountain fruits. It looks abundant, but there is not a grain of grain.

Fan Li took out a short knife, cut off the mutton, divided a piece for each person, and dipped it in salt to eat.

Jiang Lun looked straight at his short knife. There was a look of envy in his eyes. After eating, Fan Li said: "Big brother, it's not easy for you to live here, I'll give you this short knife." ”

Jiang Lun was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly took the short knife, watched it repeatedly, and couldn't put it down. He said, "Thank you!" Thank you! ”

After the meal, it was fine, everyone sat and chatted. Fan Li said: "Big brother, what's the matter with the wild man?" ”

Jiang Lun said: "It turned out that there were two savages here, a man and a woman, and then the male savage died, and this female savage was left." ”

Jiang Lun said: "This female savage is very lazy, she doesn't want to hunt, and she comes to grab our sheep. A year, he smuggled and robbed her of more than a dozen sheep. It's annoying. But sometimes the wild man will send it to us when he can't eat the prey. Last year, she sent a large wild boar of more than 100 catties. ”

And what's going on?

That night, Fan Li and Zimei stayed at Jiang Lun's house. In the middle of the night, Fan Li heard someone walking gently in front of the bed. When I lit the animal oil lamp, it turned out to be Jiang Lun's wife.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?".

"Brother, sister-in-law wants to talk to you."

He told Fan Li something, which almost made Fan Li's jaw drop, she said that Jiang Lun was once captured by the female savage and spent most of the year with the female savage. When I get back, that's not going to work. He asked Fan Li if he could sleep with her, she hadn't had that for a few years.
