Chapter 26: Return to Zhuo County

【Return to Zhuoxian】

Since Liu Bei said goodbye to his mentor Lu Zhi, he and Liu Deran went on the road together, although they did not feel lonely, but they were not lively. At this time, a group of five people, not to mention the excitement of the original, in this wilderness, there are many people who take care of each other, and their hearts are also steady. Especially Guan Yu, who has just befriended, although he has only known him for a short time, his temperament makes him feel very close to him. This person is dignified, righteous, and has good kung fu, if he befriends this person, he will start his own career in the future, and he may become his right-hand man, a person with humerus.

At this time, Liu Bei said thoughtfully: "Yun Chang, I don't know where your relatives' house is, Liu Bei wants to visit the door another day, I don't know if it's convenient or not?" ”

"Yes, I'll go with my brother another day." Liu Deran took Liu Bei's words.

Guan Yu was originally from Hedong County, where did he come from in Zhuo County, and he didn't know what to say at this time, so he couldn't speak for a long time, but fortunately, his face was already red, and others couldn't see the change in his complexion. Guan Yu racked his brains, thought about it for a long time, and had to say embarrassedly: "I don't know the specific location, my family only told me the approximate location, I should be able to find it if I go there to find it." ”

Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu refused to say the address, thinking that he was deliberately distancing, and he was not reluctant: "That's okay, it's all in a county anyway, and everyone can come out to gather often in the future." ”

Guan Yu smiled: "That's nature. ”

"When did Yun Chang's beautiful hair stay, it is very refreshing and elegant, it suits you very well!" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu's beautiful hair and said.

"Hahaha...... Xuande has won the award, I have been keeping it for several years, and I am not willing to cut it, so I have been deliberately maintaining it. Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair at this time and said with a smile.

"Why do you want to cut it, with a beautiful hair, the temperament is better, I also wonder, I just can't show a beard, if I can grow it one day, maybe I'll be the same as you!" Liu Bei grinded his smooth cheeks and said embarrassedly.

"Yes, you don't say I don't know yet, but today I took a closer look and found that you really don't have a beard!" Liu Deran grinded his cheeks and said, "I've grown some!" ”

Liu Deran's words were really harsh to Liu Bei, his face was gloomy, and he suddenly looked at Ken Guan Yu again, and smiled awkwardly.

"It's just a matter of time, sooner or later you will grow a beard, don't worry!" Guan Yu said comfortingly.

In the society at that time, men regarded beard as beauty, for a man, what is the difference between a person without a beard and a eunuch, this is a very shameful, and Liu Bei is often worried about this matter.

After walking a little further distance, we will reach Zhuo County, and there are more people coming and going in front of me, and suddenly I saw a group of homeless people wearing yellow scarves hurrying towards us. Liu Bei secretly thought, these Taiping Dao people have infiltrated into Zhuo County, and the speed of development is too fast, although the people here are some poor wandering people, although they are all the people of the Han Dynasty, but their thoughts are estimated to be not towards the Han Dynasty, at this time the society seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging, and I don't know where these people in front of them are going in a hurry.

"Mother, I see my mother." Chang Sheng suddenly shouted, pointing to the crowd and said.

Hearing what Chang Sheng said, Chang Sheng's mother realized that this tribe of refugees turned out to be her own villagers, and excitedly shouted to the crowd: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I finally found you!" ”

Hearing Chang Sheng's mother's greeting, a woman walked out of the crowd and said, "Brother and sister, it turns out that you are here, which makes me worry for a while." ”

"Dead ghost, brother and sister are here!" Women waved to the crowd, and a middle-aged man trotted over.

"Uncle!" Chang Sheng said.

"Hey~ Changsheng, come to the uncle to hug!" The man stepped forward and hugged Chang Sheng: "Brother and sister, where have you gone here, you didn't say a word, and even a figure was gone!" ”

"Brother and sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I found out that Chang Sheng was missing that day, so I hurried back, and I didn't say hello to you, so I was worried, I was very good all the way, and thanks to the help of these heroic teenagers, I found you." Mother Liu said apologetically.

At this time, Liu Bei saw that they all knew each other, so he asked curiously: "This lady, where did you come from?" Why are you going back again? ”

"Our group are all believers in the great sage and good teacher, originally we went to Zhuo County to preach, but the county order of Zhuo County did not allow us to stay here, and said that they would drive us out, we had no choice, we were afraid that he would be rude to us, so we had to run out." The eldest lady rolled her eyes in the direction of Zhuo County, and she looked disgusted with the county order.

Liu Bei said secretly: "I see, presumably the county order must have seen that the Taiping Road is not simple, so it is like this, but then again, the county order is really vigorous and resolute, and it is also an iron-fisted method." ”

"Little brothers, then Chang Sheng and I are here to say goodbye to you, thank you so much along the way." Chang Sheng's mother bent down slightly to express her gratitude: "Come, Chang Sheng, say goodbye to these big brothers!" ”

"Big brother, Chang Sheng is gone, we'll see you later!" Chang Sheng said with a wave of his little hand.

"Okay, I'll see you later, that's good!" Liu Bei stepped forward and touched Chang Sheng's forehead.

Liu Bei, Liu Deran, and Guan Yu exchanged a few words with them, and then they all said goodbye one by one.

At this time, Guan Yu was also puzzled, he didn't know what these people were doing, but just now he heard what they said about great sages and good teachers, preaching or something, so he asked Liu Bei: "Xuande, what is the origin of these people?" ”

Liu Bei frowned as if thinking about something at this time, and when he saw Guan Yu asking him, he explained to him: "These people are homeless people from all over the world, and because they have no food to eat, they all take refuge in a person who claims to be a great sage and good teacher, and this great sage and good teacher will give them food and medical treatment, but the requirement is that they have to join a sect called Taiping Dao, and they also have to help this great sage and good teacher everywhere to promote the ideas of Taiping Dao." These are secondary, the important thing is that these activities are organized, and the scope has reached eight states, and the number of people has reached hundreds of thousands, and I am afraid that this great sage has bad intentions. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Having said that, even if that great sage and good teacher really has a heart of disobedience, he relies on some people who don't know anything, what kind of storm can he set off." Guan Yu stroked his beard, raised his head slightly, and said with a smile.

Liu Bei listened to Guan Yu's words, and thought to himself that this person is good everywhere, but he is a little arrogant. Liu Bei didn't answer Guan Yu's words, and said: "Yun Chang, there is Zhuo County ahead, I wanted to invite you to my home as a guest, but my mother died of illness, and there are many inconveniences, let's get together another day." ”

Guan Yu listened and said: "Filial piety comes first, Xuande, you take care of yourself, we will meet again." ”

"Goodbye Yunchang, we'll have a date later!" Liu Deran also said.

"There will be a date later!"

......

After five years, Liu Bei came to his hometown again, but this time he returned so sadly. He ran straight home, the sooner he arrived, the more he couldn't help it, when he stood in front of his mother's mourning hall, seeing such a scene, he couldn't control his emotions anymore, and the sadness suddenly came out, "wow", knelt on the ground, crying bitterly. Five years ago, it was Niang who resolutely decided to let him go to worship Lu Zhi as a teacher, but before he could come back to honor her, his mother left, he hit his head on the ground and shouted to the ground: "Mother, Bei'er is back, Mother, why are you leaving, Bei'er misses you so much, Mother, Mother, come back, Bei'er misses you so much...... It's Bei'er who is sorry for you, I didn't honor you well, Bei'er is not filial, mother......"

At this time, Liu Bei didn't know how long he cried, he only felt that the sky was dark, because he was so sad, and it may be the biggest regret that he couldn't do his filial piety in front of his mother in this life, but he was far away when his mother needed him most, he could feel the helplessness of his mother at that time, he could feel the mother's thoughts about him at that time, and his mother wanted to see his son one last time, but time was too ruthless, and his mother couldn't wait, and his mother was gone forever with regret.

"Son, get up." What happened during the past five years, Liu Deran has already told everyone about it, Liu Yuanqi and Liu Zijing saw Liu Bei crying at this time, worried that he would cry his body, so they all came over to support Liu Bei. Liu Bei looked up and saw that it was his uncle, and suddenly like a child, he knelt and hugged his uncle and cried: "Uncle, Bei'er is not filial, Bei'er has no mother, uncle ......"

With tears in the eyes of the people present, Liu Yuanqi and Liu Zijing stroked Liu Bei's back, and said earnestly: "Child, in the future, my uncle's home will be your home, we are all your relatives, child, don't cry, get up, your mother is in the spirit of heaven, I don't want you to cry badly." ”

I don't know how long it took, Liu Bei gradually stopped crying, because he was tired of crying, he was too tired, he really wanted to sleep at this time, but he could no longer sleep as before, with peace of mind, because he was left alone in the family, his mother's funeral had to be undertaken by him, and everything in the family would have to be borne by himself in the future.

【Thousands of miles to send love】

"Come on, Cher, let's eat it!" Su Shuang brought the dish plate to Su Xue.

Since the last time the family went through the ordeal, Su Shuang has also realized the importance of family affection, so he will find time to spend with his daughter for a while almost every day.

"Eat too, don't patronize me!" Su Xue said while eating the food.

"Daddy is fine, you see that the meat on Daddy's body has no place to grow, and he can't eat it anymore!" Su Shuang put down the chopsticks and said: "Sometimes I feel physically exhausted, obviously I eat so much, sometimes I feel dizzy, last time I saw the doctor, the doctor said that I have the disease of wealth, I eat too much greasy things, too much garbage in the body, let me usually eat less meat food, eat more vegetables and fruits or something!" Su Shuang wiped his mouth with a handkerchief: "Come on, make me a cup of tea." ”

"You really don't want to eat it!" Su Xue looked at her father and said suspiciously. In the past, my father was not like this, the seafood, pork, mutton, etc. were all stuffed into it in large gulps, and I haven't seen him move chopsticks today.

"If you don't eat it, if you don't eat it, if you eat it again, you will eat your life!" Su Shuang hurriedly waved his hand, shook his head and said, "It's hard to shake your head now!" ”

"From now on, don't buy these meats, seafood or whatever, our family will eat some vegetables in the future, anyway, I don't like to eat them, and it's a waste to buy them."

"Yes, yes, yes, don't buy it, you can help Daddy talk to Lao Li later, and let him arrange it." Su Shuang saw that the tea was coming, so he picked it up and took a sip, and said, "It's better to drink tea, you can drink the meat on my body by drinking tea, hehehe......"

"Look why you're smiling so much!" When Su Xue finished eating, she scraped the food on the table into the bowl. ”

"Put it down, let it go, let the next person do it, what do you have to do as a young lady!" Su Shuang said hurriedly.

"It doesn't matter, when we were studying in Songshan, the teachers taught us like this, and we got used to it after a long time!" Su Xue put down her chopsticks and said.

"You really don't leave Songshan for three sentences, and Lu Zhi for five sentences!" Su Shuang got up and said, "I'm going back to the account room to settle accounts, business has been a bit hot recently!" ”

"Why is it suddenly getting better, won't there be a war again!" Su Xue also stood up and said.

"No, no, there was no war, and the following report came up, and it was all bought by some farmers, specifically by homeless people!" Su Shuang said: "Come on, clean up all the food!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Why do homeless people buy so many horses for no reason? Besides, where did their money come from! Su Xue asked, following behind her father.

"This ...... Xue'er, we are all businessmen, we are all in business, we only recognize money, not people, one hand to pay money and one hand to deliver, what he uses it for, Daddy really doesn't know! Su Shuang continued to walk towards the account room: "You go back, Daddy is going to be busy." ”

"That's okay, Daddy, Cher is gone!" After speaking, Su Xue stopped.

"Okay, well, take a walk after eating, don't be like your dad when the time comes, haha......" Su Shuang laughed and left.

"Lilac, where is Uncle Li, take me over!" Su Xue greeted Lilac and said.

"The butler should still be eating, or I'll call him over!" Lilac ran over and said.

"No, I'll go find him, he's old, and it's inconvenient to run away!" Su Xue then walked to the restaurant.

"Hey~ Miss, that's where our subordinates go, how can you go!" Lilac said in the thusman's way.

"What is the place where the subordinate is not inferior, can't I go to the place where the subordinate is inferior?" Su Xue said with a displeased face.

"Yes, Miss!" Lilac lowered her head and followed behind Su Xue silently.

"Uncle Li, are you done eating?" Su Xue saw Steward Li coming out of the cafeteria from a distance, followed by several servants, as if he was ordering something, and when he heard the young lady calling him, he let these servants go first, and came to the young lady's face, and said, "Miss, have you eaten!" ”

"I've eaten, what were you talking to them just now, it seems that the family has been very busy lately!" Su Xue and Steward Li walked side by side.

"Yes, yes, business has been very busy recently, all over the country, north to Youzhou, south to Yangzhou and Jingzhou, business has suddenly improved, it may be the ancestor apparition, haha......" Steward Li stroked his beard, he said that when he talked about doing business, his eyebrows were always dancing, especially the recent good performance, and the whole person looked even more energetic.

"Then do you know why business is so good?" Su Xue saw that her father didn't know, so she asked Steward Li, after all, Steward Li was more on the front line than her father.

"This, it is said that the person who bought it is a person named Taiping Daoli, they wear yellow scarves on their heads, and they often buy a large number of horses, as for why, I don't know here!"

"Taiping Dao? What is Taiping Road? Su Xue asked.

"Taiping Dao is a sect, anyway, I think these folk sects are all chattering, and I don't care much about these!"

"Are there many such sects among the people?"

"Yes, we do business and go north and south, and we have seen more sects, this Taiping Dao is counted as one, and the Wudou Rice Dao in Hanzhong is also counted as one, as for the other sects, there are too many, I can't remember clearly, anyway, these two are those who have a little reputation!" Steward Li looked at Su Xue's face, and suddenly said with a solemn face: "Eh, miss, there is one thing I don't know if I should tell you, it is about Liu Bei!" ”

"You say!" As soon as Su Xue heard Liu Bei, she immediately came to her senses.

"It's not a good thing, his mother died of illness, Liu Bei and Liu Deran have now left Luoyang and returned to Zhuo County!"

"The world is impermanent, so what can I do?" Su Xue stopped.

"Don't ask someone to send something over, after all, you are in the same door, no matter what you don't care about, it doesn't make sense, besides, he is still the benefactor of our Su family!" Steward Li said, "What does Miss think? ”

"Just do as you say, let people send some things over, clothes, food, and money, all send over, Liu Bei has just entered the society, what is most lacking in the future is money, and the most useful is money!" After Su Xue finished speaking, she turned around and left.
