The overflowing river has been effectively controlled, and under the scorching sun, the farmland has been soaked by the floodwaters, and huge cracks have been cracked, like veins on a turtle shell, covering the entire outskirts of Shouchun.

Countless farmers were busy working in the heavens and the earth, or ploughing the land with oxen, and there were even those who lacked oxen, pulling the plough with manpower to plough the ruined fields.

This year's flood is a bit abnormal, it is already the end of autumn, and there should not have been such a heavy rain and flood, which has caused heavy losses to the people who belong to the prevention.

Fortunately, in late autumn, when the harvest had passed and the seeds had not yet landed, the raging floods did not cause extensive loss of farmland, but only washed away some farmhouses built closer to the river and inundated some low-lying towns.

Even so, in Chengde County, a suburb of Shouchun alone, thousands of people were killed or wounded, and Hongze Lake swelled, flooding large areas of surrounding towns and displacing countless victims, and tens of thousands of people in this county alone.

The relief grain and grass allocated by the imperial court were quickly distributed, which made the people who were born in troubled times and could only fend for themselves finally have a little more attachment to this desolate imperial court.

When Yuan Shu and Cao Cao occupied Shouchun, in addition to the tyrannical expropriation, they looted the people's fat and ointment for military use, satisfying their ambition to dominate the world, so that the people of Shouchun had long been disheartened by this Han court.

Whether it is Yuan Shu or Cao Cao, in the eyes of the people, they are not a force that can be separated, they are just officials of the Han Dynasty, and they finally remember the root of all these evils in the Han court.

However, the newly appointed prime minister's army this time seems to be different from the original official army, not only never disturbing the people, but also helping the villagers to repair the river embankment and rescue the trapped victims during the flood, and not receiving the favor of the people after the end, which is really a rare justice teacher.

It's just that the villagers have been exploited by local officials for many years, and they have long developed a mentality of hostility to the officials and soldiers, and if they want to change the people's perception of the court for a while, it is not possible to change it in three or two days.

On the outskirts of Chengde County, in the countryside near Hongze Lake, a village is called Xingshu Village, which is named after the apricot trees in the mountains and fields of the village.

Xingshu Village is built on a hill in the upper reaches of Hongze Lake, but because the terrain is much higher than other places, the remote village that originally suffered from inconvenient transportation has become the only place in the vicinity that has not been flooded.

At this time, it has stepped into the early winter, and the apricot tree village is covered with a thick layer of apricot tree leaves, and the fallen leaves that have been dried by the sun in the past few days are like a thick carpet.

In one corner of the village, a low house, built in the middle of countless apricot trees, was far away from him, surrounded by almond trees, but there was a peace that did not eat the fireworks of the world.

The smoke of the houses gave some life to the village. An old farmer with gray hair and a thin body is sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the door outside the house, but he walks steadily in the forest to sweep, sweeping the fallen leaves all over the ground into several piles, each pile is like a small hill, which shows that although the old farmer looks weak, he has a strong physique and can do daily work.

"Father, it's time to eat, let's rest."

A little girl with pigtails poked her head out of the courtyard gate and shouted loudly to the old peasant, her voice clear and sweet, full of milky fragrance, full of loveliness at this age.

The old farmer stopped sweeping the floor, straightened up with difficulty, beat his sore back with one hand, and held the broom with the other, looked back at the pigtails, and said dotingly: "Xiaodou, why don't you come and get a broom for my father, you see I can't walk." ”

Xiaodou jumped from the courtyard gate, stuffed a windmill in his hand into the old farmer's hand, which was still beating his waist, snatched the broom that was huge for her in the old farmer's hand with both hands, dragged it back with difficulty, and said something in his mouth: "Father, take my windmill well, don't break it for me, the guest only made this one, and there will be no more broken ones." ”

The old farmer watched his granddaughter drag the broom back with difficulty, and felt that the granddaughter who had been raising her for a few years had some effect and could help her work.

"Your windmill is so expensive, you should take it yourself and give me the broom."

"No, I'll help my father get a broom, my father works so hard, even if he breaks the windmill, I won't let you accompany him."

A warmth surged in the old farmer's heart, he picked up Xiaodou from behind, took the broom with one hand, and held the windmill in the other hand holding his granddaughter, and said with a smile: "My Xiaodou has grown up, and I know that I feel sorry for my father." ”

Holding his granddaughter and walking back, he asked, "Tell my father, what did your grandmother do today?" ”

Speaking of eating, Xiaodou suddenly danced with his eyebrows, and pointed his fingers and said: "What a big hare, it was caught by the guests outside the forest, the guests cleaned the skin and meat, and the grandmother has been stewed for a long time, and it smells fragrant." ”

When the old farmer saw his granddaughter's lovely expression, he couldn't help rubbing his gray beard on his granddaughter's delicate face.

"Glutton, when it comes to eating, your tongue grows bigger, and you can't speak well."

"Where? Ah, don't. ”

Xiaodou dodged the old farmer's beard like a loach, and the itching on her face was not a sensation she liked.

Walking into the courtyard gate, the old farmer put down the little potato, and watched her run away like a fly, not even caring about the windmill still in the hands of the eldest father, and only turned around to make a grimace when he reached the distance.

Putting down the broom, the old farmer set his eyes on a corner of the courtyard.

A middle-aged man, dressed only in a single coat, was grooming some of his fur. The man was tall, nine feet tall, and even when he stood in the distance, the old peasant had the feeling of looking up at the gods.

"How can the guest work so hard and heal all the injuries on his body?"

"My husband is worried, I tried my skills on the mountain today, and I have been seven or eight points better, and I want to thank my uncle for saving me."

The guest turned around, his eyes were like gods, and his eyebrows were full of heroism, wasn't it Lu Bu who had disappeared for more than a month!

It turned out that in the flood that day, Lu Bu and Cao Cao several generals could not get out, and when the huge waves came, it was too late to escape from the flood.

Lu Bu only remembered that the huge waves were added to his body, and he hit Cao Zhen in the shoulder and neck, but in the fog, he didn't know who cut him in the back, the severe pain and the unstoppable power of the flood made him unable to stabilize his body anymore, and the war horse didn't know where it was washed away, only he held Fang Tian's halberd tightly, and drifted with the waves in the roaring flood waves.

In the process of drifting, I don't know how many solid rocks and giant trees he hit, Lu Bu could only try his best to maintain his posture in the water, avoid being swept under the water and difficult to float, and try to give himself a chance to replenish his breathing, but even so, hundreds of impacts and long-term struggles in the water finally exhausted his physical strength.

After experiencing the last strong impact, Lu Bu finally found it difficult to keep his body, and was swept into the water by the huge waves, and he didn't know how much yellow and turbid flood water he drank, and finally lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in a simple farmhouse, and he was lying on the bed, stared at by three pairs of eyes.

These three people are naturally Xiaodou, Xiaodou's mother, and Xiaodou's father, that is, his grandfather Hu Laohan.

Hu Laohan is sixty years old this year, in this era of chaos, is already a very rare longevity of people, he once had four sons, the eldest son and the second son died as early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the third son served as a soldier in Yuan Shao's army, and finally died on the battlefield against Cao Cao. Only the youngest son is left to depend on him, and the younger son is the only one who survives to marry an adult.

But just two years ago, the youngest son was recruited into the army by Cao Cao and launched a campaign to attack Si Li, which eventually developed into the first duel between Cao Cao and Lu Bu.

After several major battles, Cao's army was almost completely wiped out, and Hu Laohan's son died in that war, leaving behind a child who was only two years old when he left, and his widowed mother and grandfather depended on each other.

This year, the river flooded, and Hu Laohan went down the mountain to check the danger, and happened to meet Lu Bu, who was hit by the flood to the foot of the mountain, and was unconscious alone.

Hu Laohan saw that this person's outfit did not look like an ordinary soldier, although the armor had been weathered and looked dilapidated, he could vaguely see that the excellent workmanship in the past was definitely not something ordinary people could have.

Hu Laohan's four sons almost all died in the rebellion, and two of them joined the army, and they also regretted what happened to Lu Bu. Closer to investigate, only to find that this person has not died yet, so he carried him back home, but fortunately, Hu Laohan has been farming for many years, and his body is strong, otherwise he really can't carry Lu Bu's two hundred pounds of body, and he is holding a halberd in his hand that does not let go, I am afraid that it will cost forty or fifty pounds.

The conditions in the mountains are limited, Lu Bu was deeply injured in many places, unable to get effective treatment, and the wound was infected and suppurated in many places, so that he was in a coma for many days and never woke up.

She is a standard southern woman, slender and thin, if it weren't for the massive horrific burns on her face, she would have been a rare and beautiful woman.

After learning the news of her husband's death in the war, Chen was heartbroken, and her mother's family wanted to take her back to remarry, but she categorically refused, she was reluctant to abandon her daughter who was already two or three years old. Everyone knows about this matter within a radius of ten miles, and Lu Bu also walked in the village to listen to the people in the village when he was recovering from a serious injury.

During this period, the recuperation was almost isolated from the world, and the floods under the mountain were rampant, and the flu was rampant after the disaster, so Lu Bu could not get in touch with the army. You must know that in this era when there is no cure, the flu is almost equivalent to the plague.

Now that Lu Bu's injuries have healed, it is time for the leisurely countryside journey to come to an end, and he went to the bottom of the mountain to find the local defenders, so that Zhang Liao of Shouchun could be summoned to tell him that Lu Bu was here and asked him to come quickly.

It was also lucky, Lu Bu happened to meet an army that had not yet been evacuated for disaster relief, they all followed Lu Bu all the way, although they had not seen Lu Bu's appearance, but most people had seen Lu Bu's figure from afar, and saw that this person was tall, and he was the same size as Lu Bu, the prime minister who had been missing for many days and had not been searched for a long time by the army, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, and rushed to Shouchun to report the news.

On the way to the mountain after the message, Lu Bu caught two hares by the way, on this hill, there are naturally no large beasts, but there are delicious wild animals like hares and pheasants, and the villagers are mostly hunters, and it is common to hunt a game to improve their food in three days, but the hares are cunning, if it is not for a person like Lu Bu, it is not a simple matter to want to capture.

Chen's good craftsmanship, a pot of fresh rabbit meat, under her slow cooking, suddenly the meat aroma overflowed.

Lu Bu stretched and dried the rabbit fur accumulated over the past few days, stacked them in one place, and asked Xu's to make a felt for Xiaodou.

Hu Laohan heard Lu Bu's words of gratitude, shook his head and smiled: "The guest is blessed with a great life, and he has the protection of God, and the little old man is just doing his best, which is nothing." ”

Lu Bu couldn't say too many words of gratitude, he didn't thank him, he was in danger of dying, and he didn't fail to repay the grace of saving his life. It's just that when Hu Laohan and his young son died in the conquest of Luoyang, he often gritted his teeth when he talked about Lu Bulai, as if Lu Bu was the murderer of his son.

Lu Bu felt even more guilty, and did not dare to tell his identity truthfully, and for more than a month, he did not announce his name and official position, and he was also a family and a guest.

"Uncle Jun, quickly let the guests wash their hands and eat, the meat has been taken, and it will not be delicious when it is cold." He took out half a basin of warm water that was still steaming and said with a smile.

Lu Bu was not polite, washed his hands in the basin with Hu Laohan, and smiled at the eagerly awaited Xiaodou at the door: "Are you hungry again, why don't you eat first?" ”

"My mother said that you must wait for the guests to eat first, and then the host can eat, otherwise it will be rude." Xiaodou pouted.

"It's okay, what etiquette the child says, you just have to eat, listen to your uncle."

Xiaodou looked at his mother, and then at his father, but after all, he didn't move, just leaned against the door, looking at the pot of hot rabbit meat on the table in the house.

Lu Bu and Hu Laohan looked at her like a greedy cat, and couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.

Finally waited until the table was served, Xiaodou hurriedly handed over the dishes and chopsticks: "Uncle is a guest, he should use it first." ”

Lu Bu did not shirk, although Hu Laohan was older, he was never humble and never ate first, Lu Bu went with the flow after many courtesies, and picked up a piece of rabbit calf, the meat has been stewed to a sparse sparse place, and a chopstick will turn up a large piece of delicious meat, which is suitable for children and the elderly with bad teeth. For Lu Bu, this is not his favorite taste, he likes five ripe, it is best to bring a trace of bloody meat, eat it in the mouth, that is not lost the delicious taste.

He gave a large piece of meat to Xiaodou and said with a smile: "This meat is too thin, I don't like it, so you should eat it." ”

Xiaodou looked at his grandfather in embarrassment, it wasn't that she didn't follow the etiquette, but the guest gave it to her, it wasn't rude.

"Father, can I eat it?"

"Let's eat, but thank you." Hu Laohan patted Xiaodou who was sitting next to him dotingly.

Xiaodou was overjoyed, hurriedly stuffed the fat rabbit leg meat into his mouth, the corners of his mouth were full of oil stains, and he hummed with a puffed mouth: "Eat it quickly, it's delicious." ”

Lu Bu and Hu Laohan each picked up a piece of meat and ate it, but the Chen family was a traditional ancient woman, who would never go to the table when eating, so she only brought a small bowl by herself, filled it with a little broth, and gently ate and drank alone, waiting to add food to everyone.

Lu Bu also knew some bad folk customs, so he couldn't interfere, but for a long time, he still felt uncomfortable, after all, letting the master eat standing while sitting at the dining table was really unacceptable to him.

After only a few bites, he stopped, and said lightly: "For many days, thanks to the care of my husband and wife, I can recuperate here with peace of mind. ”

"Guest, are you leaving?" Hu Laohan also put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Lu Bu and asked.

Chen's face changed slightly, half a bowl of broth was not served, it overflowed and flowed into her hands, and the scorching temperature made her frown slightly.

"Yes, after many days of trouble, there will be a farewell, and today my injuries are basically all right, and I should leave."

"The guests come from an extraordinary background, they are by no means people who have lived in the countryside for a long time, there must be countless big things to do, since the mind has been decided, the little old man will not be kept, just get together, but there is no wine for the guests to practice, it is a pity."

"Don't be polite, if he meets again, it's not too late for us to drink."

Xu, who had not spoken for a long time, put the dishes and chopsticks aside and said, "Wait." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the house quickly, leaving only a room of people inexplicable.

Xiaodou asked coquettishly, "What did Mother do?" ”

"Maybe your aunt didn't have anything delicious to serve, so she took it." Hu Laohan was also puzzled.

Not long after, Chen Shi held a jar of wine, panting and ran in, and said: "Since the guests are leaving, they should return with fun, there is still a jar of rice wine here, but when the little girl was born, her father buried it under the apricot tree, and now it has been four years, the wine has been old, enough to enjoy, I hope the guests will not dislike the rude." ”

Lu Bu was shocked, I have heard for a long time that in ancient times, some people would bury wine in the ground when their children were born, and they would only take it out and enjoy it when their children were adults.

At this time, the Hui family took out such a precious wine to entertain himself, and he couldn't help but be flattered.

"How can this be made, it's too precious."

For Lu Bu, what kind of good wine has not been drunk, so naturally he will not take any champion and daughter Hongtai to heart, but for this family, this wine has a special meaning and is extremely precious.

The kindness of people in this world to people is not to see what he has to give you, but to see what he gives you with less. Although both are good, they are very different.

"Although the guests used it, there was a lot of wine buried at the beginning, and it was nothing to have less of these two jars." Zhu Shi has opened the seal and said.

Seeing that the master was arrogant, Lu Bu no longer pretended to be a gesture, took over the wine jar, filled himself with Hu Laohan, and asked if he could drink it, and got a definite answer, and poured half a bowl for her.

Picking up a bowl of wine, Lu Bu held up Yao and said to Hu Laohan and Xu: "Then I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and thank my husband and wife for their life-saving grace with this bowl of wine." ”

After that, he drank a bowl of wine, the unwarmed wine was a little cold, and a bowl went down, only Lu Bu's beard was opened.

Hu Laohan didn't even dare to say anything, so he drank half a bowl of wine, but Xu Shi drank all the half bowl of wine, wiped his mouth, and his face was more delicate.

Lu Bu was about to say something more, but he heard the neighing of horses outside the house, and a hearty voice came from outside.

"His subordinate Zhao Yun is here to welcome the prime minister back to the army."

Everyone in the room looked different and stayed in place, as if they were in a dream.

Lu Bu got up, saluted Hu Laohan and Xu's fists, took the halberd painted on the wall, and strode out of the house, just as he saw Zhao Yun and Yang Xian standing in the courtyard, with flags flying outside the door, and thousands of cavalry came together.

Looking at the hot expressions in Zhao Yun and Yang Xiu's eyes, Lu Bu approached and smiled: "I'm not here these days, I've worked hard for you." ”

The two of them were indescribably excited, even Yang Xiu, who had always been kind to words, was choked up and couldn't make a sound.

Lu Bu patted the two of them on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, let's go back." ”

As soon as they walked out of the gate, thousands of cavalry bowed down to the ground together: "Welcome the prime minister back to the army." ”

The momentum is fierce, soaring into the sky.

Lu Bu rode on the war horse, looked back at the situation in the courtyard, and saw that Hu Laohan was already in the courtyard, and the Xu's leaned against the door, and Xiaodou hugged her mother's calf, cowering, and was frightened by the situation in front of him.

"Are you Lu Bu?" Hu Laohan gritted his teeth and said.

"It's Lu Bu." Lu Bu rode on a horse, more like a god of war who was proud of the world, full of invincibility, and had nothing in common with the guests who were recuperating here.

Chen's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground holding on to the door, how vicious the curses of his family and himself towards Lu Bu these days, but they didn't want Lu Bu to be in front of him.

"I knew that you were Lu Bu, and I wouldn't have saved you even if I saved a dog." Hu Laohan looked extremely excited, none of his four sons died well, they had long been struggling to survive, life was boring, only a granddaughter, it was difficult to soothe the pain in his heart, at this time, seeing that the day and night were together, the one who was saved by him was Lu Bu, whom he hated, how could he still remain calm, and immediately had an impulsive attack.

"Bold."

"Old horseman, look for death!"

The generals behind him scolded angrily, this old man in the countryside dared to insult the prince, how could they bear it.

Lu Bu waved his hand to soothe the anger of the crowd and told them not to act rashly.

"Although your son may not have been killed by me, but he also died because of me, even if I owe you two lives, you can come to me for anything in the future, and I will definitely fulfill your two wishes." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"Phew, our hypocrisy is not uncommon for us." Hu Laohan spat it.

Lu Bu shook his head, threw the talisman around his waist back into the courtyard, and said, "I'm talking." ”

After speaking, he took the lead and walked away.

Zhao Yun followed closely behind.

Only Yang Xiu looked at the old and young in the courtyard, called a few soldiers, and instructed: "These people are not angry, and they have the promise of the prince and the marquis, and there will be trouble in the future, you go to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and don't leave any traces." ”
