【Road meets Guan Yu】

It didn't take long for the day to rain heavily, hitting the road and causing countless dust. Fortunately, there was an abandoned Taoist temple on the side of the road, and Liu Bei and the three of them hid in the Taoist temple, and the rain outside kept falling, and the people lying in the Taoist temple felt even quieter, and the three of them did not speak, because no one was in a bad mood. Liu Bei is so homesick, he misses his mother, he remembers that when he was a child, it was also on such a rainy day, he couldn't sleep because he was afraid, his mother would sit on the edge of the bed, weaving straw sandals, and telling stories, his mother was so beautiful and gentle in the candlelight, as long as his mother was around, he was no longer afraid, and he could sleep peacefully. But this kind of day will not be there again in the future, my mother is no longer there, and I am left alone at home, and I can only walk by myself in the future...... Thinking about it, Liu Bei unconsciously left tears in the corners of his eyes, and gradually, he fell asleep.

"Bei'er, you're back, let my mother see, oops, my body is getting stronger and stronger, and I've grown a lot taller, I haven't seen you for a few years and become a young man, you've been studying outside all these years, and my mother misses you too." Mother Liu sorted out the messy clothes on Liu Bei's body, patted the dust on his body and said.

Liu Bei saw that there was more gray hair on his mother's head than before, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were denser, her back was bent, and the spots on her face came out, so she couldn't help but shed tears: "Mother, the child is not by your side, you are suffering, and I will do all the work at home in the future, so you don't have to work so hard." After saying that, he put down his salute.

Mother Liu smiled with satisfaction: "Silly child, my mother is fine, my mother is happy to see you come back, you sit down for a while, take a rest, my mother stewed delicious food in the pot, and you can eat it later." Mother Liu brought the tea that had been cooled in advance to Liu Bei.

"By the way, mother, you can also sit for a while, let me tell you what I have done all these years, so that you can also open your eyes!" Liu Bei patted the position next to him and motioned for Liu's mother to sit down.

"The firewood is still burning there, I'll take a look!" Mother Liu walked to the stove, opened the lid of the pot, and the water vapor suddenly came out.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, mother, what are you burning, let me see!" Liu Bei got up and walked to his mother's side, and looked into the pot: "Stew broth!" Mother, where does your softness come from? ”

"Mother heard that you are coming back, bring it back from the county market, make up for your body, and get acquainted a little longer!" After Liu Mu finished speaking, she extinguished the fire: "It's almost stewed, and it's been a long time, I can eat it when I put out the fire!" ”

"I'll bring the food to the table!" Liu Bei found a few sticks of firewood and took out the iron pot buried in the ashes. The iron pot was filled with rice, and the iron pot was simmered in a lit firewood until now, and the rice was cooked.

"Be careful, don't burn!" Mother Liu looked at Liu Bei's clumsiness, and reminded with concern.

"Well, I know, I've served these in Songshan, but most of them are served by Xue'er!" Liu Bei said casually.

"Who is Cher?" Mother Liu asked.

"It's my senior sister, she's from Zhongshan!" Liu Bei said with a slight blush.

"Poof, why are you so red, it seems that this Xue'er is not simple!" Mother Liu scooped the broth into the bowl and looked at Liu Bei's shy face: "Do people know that you like her?" ”

"Ah, mother, what are you talking about, we are brothers and sisters in the same school, let's eat, let's eat, I'm starving to death!" Liu Bei hurriedly changed the topic.

"Hey~ You've grown up too, so my mother won't care about you, it's just that it's not easy to meet a destined person in your life, you should learn to cherish it!" Mother Liu brought the broth to the table.

"Mother, here you go!" Liu Bei put the rice in place, handed it to his mother, and then filled himself with a bowl: "It's so fragrant, I haven't eaten at home for a long time!" ”

"By the way, don't you want to tell me about what you've experienced outside in the past few years, talk to your mother, and it will also open your mother's eyes, your mother has lived for so many years, and she hasn't been out of Zhuojun yet!" Liu's mother sandwiched a piece of meat into Liu Bei's bowl.

"In the past few years, I have experienced too many things, I have met many people in the past few years, including my fellow brother Gongsun Zhan, who is also from our Youzhou, Liaoxi; and Xue'er from Zhongshan Kingdom, he is my senior sister, I told you just now; Later, we went to Lujiang County, Yangzhou, and I also helped the teacher fight against the local heroes; The teacher also took me to see the battlefield, but unfortunately the teacher didn't let me and Deran go into battle to kill the enemy; Later, my teacher and I went to Luoyang, where I met many big people, including Cai Yong, Ma Riyan, Liu Kuan, Yang Ci, etc., all of whom were the mainstays of the imperial court; I also heard a lot of stories from inside the imperial court; In addition, Liu Deran and I helped the teacher to give advice, and we overthrew the eunuch Wang Fu and the Taiwei Duan Xi together, these are heinous people; And when I said goodbye to the teacher, the teacher also gave me the table name, called Xuande, and I will be Liu Xuande in the future...... Mother, don't patronize me, you speak, mother, mother......"

"Brother, brother, Xuande, wake up......" Liu Bei and the three spent the night in this temple last night, Liu Deran heard Liu Bei shouting "Mother" in his mouth, thinking that he had a nightmare, so he patted his face, shook his body, and hurriedly woke him up.

Liu Bei opened his eyes in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that it was a dream just now, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart, and when he saw that everyone was up, he also got up and ate dry food: "Have you all eaten?" ”

"I've eaten it all, I saw you sleeping heavily just now, so I didn't call you, and then I thought you had a nightmare, so I woke you up!" Liu Deran walked outside the door and stretched: "The weather is just in a hurry!" ”

Liu Bei walked out of the door, nibbled on the grain in his mouth, and said: "I dreamed of my mother, ate with her, and told her about what happened over the years. ”

"This is the dream of the eldest lady for you!" Liu Deran said.

"I don't know, let's hurry, go back early and rest assured!" Liu Bei returned to the Taoist temple, picked up his luggage and said, "Changsheng, let's go!" ”

"Well, okay, I'll get the luggage!" Chang Sheng walked up to Liu Bei and stretched out his hand and said.

"Forget it, I'll take it, you're young, I'll tire you out later!" Liu Bei touched Chang Sheng's forehead.

"Are you and your mother lost?" Chang Sheng followed and said.

"It's not that I'm lost, my mother died." Liu Bei sighed and said.

After speaking, the three of them were shrouded in a silent atmosphere again, and everyone did not speak, so they went all the way.

......

"Go away, you brutes!"

"Come on, little lady, you're going to be Uncle Ben today, ahaha......"

At this time, Chang Sheng suddenly shouted: "I seem to hear my mother's voice, mother, mother......" After speaking, he immediately ran over. I saw a woman being entangled by six bullies, and several of them wanted to forcibly tear off the woman's clothes, but the woman looked hideous in front of these bullies and kept trying to resist.

Liu Bei saw that Chang Sheng's mother was being bullied, and knew that the mother was important to the child, and a ball of anger arose in his heart, so he picked up the wooden stick on the side of the road and rushed forward.

Liu Bei seemed to feel that the woman in front of him was his mother at this time, he waved the wooden stick fiercely, and as soon as he went up, he hit one of the bullies on the forehead, and the forehead flowed blood on the spot. Liu Bei didn't care about anyone's life at this time, he hit when he got the opportunity, he hit the head, and scolded angrily while beating: "Come on, come on, come if you're not afraid of death!" "Liu Bei is a dignified seven-foot man, who has learned kung fu with Lu Zhi over the years, relying on his physical strength, coupled with his ruthless hands, he knocked down two on the spot, and the other bullies saw that the momentum was not right, so they also found a wooden stick, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Just when everyone was fighting, a red-faced young man suddenly joined in, only to see that the young man was nine feet long, his beard was two feet long, his face was like a heavy jujube, his lips were greased, his eyes were red, his eyebrows were lying silkworms, his appearance was dignified, and he was majestic. He snatched a bully's wooden stick with his bare hands, hit them fiercely, and after knocking down a bully, he raised the bully's hands and threw it at the other bullies, this formation frightened the remaining bullies panicked and dumbfounded, Liu Bei and Liu Deran saw that the helpers came, so they puffed up, raised the wooden stick and hit the bully, these bullies saw that they were not opponents, so they all fled with a fart.

At this time, seeing that the bullies had fled, Liu Bei, Liu Deran and the red-faced young man threw the wooden stick in their hands and walked to Chang Sheng's mother, who held her son Chang Sheng tightly at this time, knelt and kowtowed: "Heroes, thank you, thank you, you not only saved me, but also saved my child, thank you." ”

Seeing this scene, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to help Chang Sheng's mother and said: "There is no need to be like this, please get up quickly, the road is uneven, and it is natural to help." Chang Sheng was met on the road, and when we saw a man crying on the side of the road, we took him with us. ”

Chang Sheng's mother said: "That day, the government wanted to arrest us, I and Chang Sheng ran away, after running away, I broke away from the villagers to look around, I didn't expect to meet these gangsters when I came here, if it wasn't for the help of all the young heroes, I don't know what to do." ”

"Born in the present, there is nothing to do, you must be careful in the future, you must not leave the masses and go out alone, so as not to be framed by gangsters!" Liu Bei turned to the red-faced young man and said, "This brother, I am very grateful for the rescue just now, seeing that you are good at martial arts, you dare to ask your name." ”

The red-faced young man saw the conversation between the mother and son and Liu Bei, and knew what had happened, at this time, he was admired by Liu Bei's chivalrous courage and heroic and fearless qualities, and saw Liu Bei thanking him, and hurriedly said: "Where is it, the surname is Guan Mingyu Yunchang, and when you see gangsters on the road, you should help each other." ”

When Liu Bei saw Guan Yuyi Bo Yuntian, he couldn't help but secretly admire him, and immediately had a good impression, and said: "In the next Liu Bei, Zixuande, from Zhuo County, I don't know where Yunchang is going on this trip?" Liu Bei deliberately called Guan Yu's table at this time to show his closeness.

When Guan Yu saw Liu Bei asking where he was going, he was also puzzled. It turned out that Guan Yu was a good man in Hedong, because he was dissatisfied with a bully in the countryside bullying men and women, he killed him in a rage, and escaped overnight. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled and said, "Very good, since Yun Chang and I are going to the same place, let's go together." ”

Liu Bei asked Chang Sheng's mother at this time, "Do you still want to continue to go to Youzhou to propagate the teachings?" ”

Chang Sheng's mother stood up, took Chang Sheng's hand and said, "Yes, our relatives and friends, fellow villagers and elders are all there to propagate the doctrine, and I have to go too." ”

"Actually, I don't think this Taiping Dao is a decent way, so I still recommend that you don't join it." Liu Bei and everyone talked as they walked.

"Where do you go if you don't join, my family has no land and no land, my husband was also killed by the landlord, I can only starve to death when I go back, follow the great sage and good teacher, at least I eat when I am hungry, and someone treats me when I am sick, we have no choice, if there is farmland at home, who wants to leave his hometown and run around." Changsheng's mother said helplessly, she stroked Changsheng's forehead: "I and Changsheng's orphans and widows, in this troubled world, just want to be safe and sound, the great sage and good teacher give us food and give us medical treatment, who are we not with him?" ”

Liu Bei didn't know what to say at this time, Chang Sheng's mother was right, for the common people, as long as there is food to eat, who is different with them, there is no food to eat with the emperor, and there is food to eat with the great sage and good teacher, this may be the reason why there are so many disciples of Taiping Dao. The life requirements of the common people are very simple, but as rulers, they don't even meet the simplest life requirements, so they have to go to others, which is why the Han Dynasty has lost all the people's hearts now.
