The carriage came to a slow stop.

Xu Fu held the reins, jumped off the carriage, stepped on the soft loess, he looked around, everything here seemed to be hung with a layer of yellow brocade, everything was revealing a faint color, there were no trees, and there was no green, as far as the eye could see, everything was yellow soil, but not yellow sand.

The wind carried a little sand, surrounded by the surroundings, not hot, not cold, just enough to blow away impetuousness, give some coolness, in this yellow world, everything is quiet, no people, no hustle and bustle, Xu Fu's heart calmed down, he led the horse, slowly walked to an old tree, the old tree is not green.

It had already withered, but it revealed the same color as the earth, and put the rope on the dead wood, Xu Fu rolled up the curtain, carefully picked up Shijun, and let him stand on the ground, one hand still supported him, and picked up the cane and put it in his hand.

"Master, we're in Liangzhou!"

"Liangzhou?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Jia Xu's cloudy eyes, he looked around, looked at the familiar wind and sand, lowered his head, looked at the land without any vegetation, and smiled happily.

"Home...."

"Yes, we're home!"

Jia Xu trembled and walked forward, aimlessly, touched the dead wood in front of him, lowered his head and picked up some soil, put it in front of him, looked at it carefully, gradually, he seemed to have sobered up, looking at Xu Fu on the side, but there was no muddness and dazedness in his eyes, "Yuan Zhi?" ”

"Hahaha, Master, it's me, you finally recognize me." , Xu Fu was very happy, he really didn't expect that after returning to Liangzhou, his master still showed some signs of improvement, for several days, Jia Xu was in a state of great fear, he didn't recognize Xu Fu, he didn't know where he was, and even, he didn't know who he was.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at Xu Fu in horror, every time he saw Xu Fu, all he had to ask was one sentence, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

Because of this, Xu Fu was intercepted by the local officials several times, because when the local pavilion chief came, Jia Xu always asked them for help, saying that he was held hostage by a thief he didn't know, and he didn't know where he was.

After trying his best to explain over and over again, taking countless documents, and even asking the county and the county, he could continue to hurry.

However, even so, Xu Fu did not complain at all.

In his life, his father left when he was very young, only one mother, who raised him with hard work, he was not sensible when he was young, followed a group of friends to do evil, and became a notorious ranger, until he was captured by the officials, almost died, returned home, and saw his mother, who was crying for him, his eyes could not be opened, he slapped himself a few times, and since then, he began to read and study.

After entering the military school and going to the Southern Army, my mother was very happy and sent him away, telling him not to miss himself and to serve the Han.

However, after only two years in the Southern Army, he heard the news that his mother was seriously ill, but at that time, he had no way to leave the Southern Army, at this time, he met Shi Jun, Shi Jun sent someone to take care of his grandmother, and took him out of the Southern Army, let him visit, just like that, after a year, his mother still left this world, but at the last moment, he was also by his mother's side.

Shijun is his benefactor, and he doesn't care about his original behavior, he doesn't have any private collection of what he knows, whether it is the military book he wrote, or the current affairs, he handed it all over to Xu Fu, even some of the most secret actions of the Son of Heaven, he also handed it over to Xu Fu, Xu Fu was very moved in his heart, and he was very grateful, the master is like a father, he treats Shijun as a father.

The confused Jia Xu, at this moment, returned to his original appearance, smiling, gently stroking his beard, looking at this land, a little excited, Xu Fu supported him, he didn't know what Shijun was looking at, Xu Fu found a seat from the carriage, and found some food and drink, and the master and apprentice sat on the loess like this, looking into the distance.

"Master, rest for a while, let's go on our way."

"Where are you going?"

"Wuwei County, isn't that Shijun's hometown? Guzang County, Wuwei County..."

Xu Fu asked with some confusion.

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, wait a minute, Shijun will show you the most beautiful scenery in Xiliang..."

Xu Fu looked at the sky, but reluctantly agreed.

"When I was young, Xiliang was very chaotic, Qiang people, bandits, horse thieves, and even some farmers, there was no grain at home, so they put the cloth containing grain on their faces, and they came out to rob the road, my family was quite passable, but I was also more stubborn when I was a child, I always escaped, and I was not afraid of robbers or anything...."

"My family always can't control me, I'm a person, I just love this kind of unrestrained life, take heaven and earth as my home, wander around, this is enjoyment, no one cares about me, no one cares about me, and I don't want to hurt me, I want to kill me, how good, but I'm lazy, I don't like farming, I study, thinking that I have the identity of a celebrity, and when I go out in the future, I can also eat and drink..."

"As I grew up, I read more books, most of the villagers admired me, and the places began to conquer me. Trapped in a prison and busy all day, that was not what I wanted, I left my hometown, wandered throughout Xiliang, met robbers, I said that I was the grandson of Duan Gong, pulled on the tiger skin, and others did not dare to embarrass me, and even ah, there were a few Qiang, the leader of the horse thieves, all became my friends. ”

"However, the Xianbei dog came in, I fled back to my hometown, just because of a good heart, I came up with an idea, and I was noticed by the temple, Zheng Gong recommended, I went to Luoyang, so I went, my life passed, I don't want to make a contribution, I don't want to enter any martyr's hall, I just want to live freely, no one scares me, let me do this and that, I will be content..."

"It's a pity, in my life, after all, I haven't had a wishful thinking, and I didn't get my wish."

"Promise me one thing..."

"Huh? Shijun, you say. ”

"After I die, don't let me enter the Martyrs' Hall, I don't love there, bury me directly in this desolate Gobi, don't let others come to worship, disturb me, before I died, I failed to do so, after death, I will become a lonely ghost, wandering in this Liangzhou, the old man should not sit in the Martyrs' Hall, continue to listen to those bad things... By the way, I have a few books under the seat of my carriage, which are for you..."

"Master... It's still early, what kind of book? ”

Jia Xu smiled and didn't answer, and at this moment, Xu Fu could obviously feel that Shijun had finally returned to his original appearance, wise, intelligent, and in control of everything, so confident that he could no longer see the previous decadence or confusion, which made Xu Fu have some doubts in his heart, he frowned and asked, "Shijun, cough cough... You earlier... Do you remember? ”

He really had some doubts now that Jia Xu had been disguised before, how could a person's mental state return to its peak so quickly?

Jia Xu smiled, raised his head, looked at the sky, and said, "Don't speak, you see." ”

Xu Fu raised his head, the sun slowly fell, only half of his body was left, and he was still slowly descending, the whole sky was flashing with a different kind of light, accompanied by the sunset, it looked so charming, the color of the sky gradually became the same as the earth, Xu Fu was stunned, Liangzhou, he didn't have been here, but he had never seen such a beautiful scenery.

Xu Fu looked at the scenery in surprise, "Shijun... I've never..."

Jia Xu drooped his head, looked serene, and sat quietly in his place.

Xu Fu was stunned, "Shijun? Shijun?? ”

The wind and sand hit again, Jia Xu slowly, fell behind him, Xu Fu stretched out his hand and hugged him, Jia Xu smiled, Xu Fu's trembling hand was placed in front of Jia Xu's mouth and nose, but there was no breath, Xu Fu couldn't stop his tears anymore, hugged Shijun, tears kept falling, he hugged Shijun tightly, and after a while, there was a painful roar here.

Xu Fu cried for a long, long time.

It wasn't until the sky hit that he put Shijun on the carriage, pulled out the long sword on his waist, and began to dig the soil here, he remembered Shijun's wishes, he was going to be buried here, he didn't want to go to the Martyrs' Hall, he just wanted to be a lonely ghost, after digging for a long time, Xu Fu lost the long sword and began to dig with his bare hands, and in the middle of the night, he burned a fire with dead wood on the side.

After digging, he carefully put Shijun into the soil.

Looking at Shi Jun, who was lying quietly between the soil, he wiped his tears and began to cover them with soil.

The next day, early in the morning

The sun climbed into the air again, the world was still a pale yellow, shallow, extraordinarily gentle, Xu Fu sat alone by the dead wood, he didn't set up any tombstones, nor did he make a mark, his master, he didn't like to be disturbed, sat for a long time, Xu Fu stood up, about to get into the carriage, suddenly remembered something, got into the carriage, and took out a book from under the cushion.

Sure enough, Shi Jun did not deceive him, Shi Jun did hide the book under the cushion.

However, he remembered that Shijun had already given him all his collection of books, and even his own books, so what was this book?

Judging from the cover, the book has been around for a while, a little shabby, a little gray, and Xu Fu slowly turned the first page.

"Boy, thank you for burying me, I am now a lonely soul, I can't appear in front of you, I can only talk to you like this." On the first page, there is only one line.

Xu Fu was stunned for a moment, and slowly turned the second page.

"You still don't believe it? Shijun didn't lie to you, anyway, don't tell others where I'm buried. ”

Xu Fu looked at the familiar words, burst into tears again, and continued to open them.

"Alright, don't cry, I'm right in front of you, yes, right next to the carriage."

"I'm going to visit Liangzhou, you kid is crying here alone, I can fly now."

"You have to study well, I will come back to see you from time to time, oh, I also saw your grandmother, she is doing well, and she is a little fatter."

"Remember, to live is to do what you want, stop paying attention to others, let yourself live happily, don't be like me, you can only be happy when you die..."

"Hahaha, I won't tell you, I'm going to scare people, you said I should knock on Xun Yu's window at night, or Xun Yu's window??"

Xu Fu flipped through the book and couldn't help laughing.

"Master !!"

"Let's knock Xun Yu!!"
