Chapter 1 Thunderstorms
In the scorching summer, Gongsun Xun went out of the tiger prison.
However, after leaving the customs, he did not directly cross the river to Wei County to 'deliver', but temporarily abandoned the brigade, only took Lou Gui and Han Dang, and a few white horse guards went straight to Peiguo, which was slightly south.
In fact, this is not because Gongsun Xun is not particular, but because of Gongsun Fan's suggestion...... This kid brought it up, after all, Wei Jun is Cao Jie's hometown, and it is the 'delivery location' proposed by the other party, so it may be dangerous, so it is better to let him do this, and the 'brother' can bypass it first.
Of course, this is nonsense, Gongsun Xun didn't think that Cao Jie, who was in that state in Shangshu Taizhong that day, would be so mad. But how to say it? Considering that Gongsun Fan is now considered an adult, and when he left Luoyang, he was given a dictionary by Liu Kuan, which was not good for damaging the enthusiasm of this guy, so he pinched his nose and recognized it.
As for why you want to come to Peiguo here to take a detour?
According to Gongsun Xun's personal statement, of course, it was because of Cao Mengde, who stole the cat that day and left, without saying goodbye, of course he had to come to Xingshi to ask for his guilt! Otherwise, east of Tiger Prison Pass and south of the Yellow River, his grandson Wenqi doesn't know a few people?
And besides, although Peiguo is located very far south, in fact, Cao Cao's home is located in the northernmost corner of Peiguo...... These two counties in the Central Plains are typically densely populated but small in size, so they really won't waste any time.
After a while, he turned around and went north.
So, even Zhao Yun couldn't say anything...... What can her husband do if he insists on visiting friends and promises not to delay his trip?
However, after they really hit the road, Gongsun Xun and others found that they thought it was too simple to hurry.
"Shaojun, it's too hot, let's sit in the pavilion in front!" Under the scorching sun, Lou Gui was sweating profusely and soaking wet, and after saying this, he didn't care about it, and directly picked up the water bag and poured it all indiscriminately.
Gongsun Xun reined in the horses and couldn't help sighing...... This has been resting since the morning when he just left Junyi City (later Kaifeng) City, and he has to rest for only thirty miles, and he can rush this way, but he is helpless when he looks at Lou Zibo, who is flushed.
"Shaojun." Han Dang was also soaked in sweat, but his reason was a little more sufficient. "It's really important to be careful when traveling in such weather, even if people can hold it, our mounts can't hold it, right? It is still necessary to walk slowly, and after walking for a while, you must let the livestock drink. β
Gongsun Xun bowed slightly, so everyone gently beat their horses forward, and dismounted next to a pavilion next to the official road in front of them to rest.
Speaking of which, thanks to the fact that this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, the population is dense, so there is no shortage of pavilions on the road for pedestrians to rest and drink water, otherwise this kind of weather may be really dead.
"Thanks to the fact that from Junyi County to Chenliu County (Chenliu County), it is a prosperous place, and there is no shortage of pavilions on the official road." As soon as Lou Guifu sat down, he couldn't help but sigh loudly. "Otherwise, I'm going to die of heat."
"A few nobles, please sit here, it's cool here!"
"Please also ask a few sons to go into some deep wells and cool water!"
The people in the pavilion in such a prosperous place naturally know how to observe words and feelings, and the pavilion chief waited for Gongsun Xun and others to take the initiative to clean up a shade for them as soon as they got off the horse, and moved a few Mazha and two small cases, waiting for them to sit down. Then, the pavilion father immediately personally brought a bucket of cold water from the deep well from the backyard and sent it to him.
Correspondingly, there are all kinds of people who take refuge in the shade of the trees in front of the pavilion...... In particular, the villagers in the nearby fields can only use the large bowls to fetch water from a large well in front of the door.
"The pavilion chief doesn't have to be like this." Han Dang is familiar with the road. "Just give this bucket of water to the people over there, I'll bring my own water bag to quote it, just ask the people in the pavilion to take care of our mounts and boil an urn of boiling water for us...... That's some hard work! β
As Han Dang's words ended, naturally a small ingot of Amway's special reward silver was stuffed into the pavilion chief's hand, and a handful of five baht coins was also given to the pavilion father, the thief and others.
At this moment, although they felt strange and troublesome, everyone in the pavilion was also overjoyed.
"Uncle!" Seeing that the cool water from the freshly dug well was carried to the rest of the summer resort, and then an elderly man got up first and took some to enjoy in a large bowl, and then it was divided up, but Gongsun Xun took the initiative to walk over with a vacant Mazha. "Sit down!"
The old man in cloth who drank water didn't care at all: "It's okay, it's cooler to sit on the ground, the pavilion originally saw that I was older and gave a low stool, but I pushed it, and the nobles don't have to pay attention to me." β
Gongsun Xun was speechless for a while, so he had to put down Ma Zha and continue to persuade: "Although the well water is cold, it is not good for the stomach, and the weather is too hot today, so I might as well drink more hot water in the future......
"What did you say?" The old man in cloth couldn't help but look at the other party with a large pottery bowl. "Don't you use firewood to boil water? Doesn't it take a lot of effort to chop firewood? It's not a winter day to warm up with hot soup...... What hot water to drink? Now that the summer is hot, and the crops in the fields are burnt brown, wouldn't it be better to have the strength to pick up some water for irrigation? β
Gongsun Xun was speechless for a while...... In fact, he wanted to say that drinking hot water could avoid the epidemic, but he was so suffocated by firewood and drought that he couldn't speak.
If you think about it carefully, it took her mother Gongsun Auntie 20 years to experience several epidemics, and she could only make the half of the county in western Liaoning and the Amway gradually accept the truth that drinking hot water can reduce illness, and this is also due to the fact that after the promotion of the ondol, the demand for firewood in the northern region is huge, and there is no shortage of heat sources after the scale is formed.
At this time, he was in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and he said something like drinking hot water to others in such weather...... Isn't it a bit like the mentally handicapped emperor's 'why not eat minced meat' in the mouth of his own wife?
Uh, speaking of which, is this mentally retarded emperor Sima Fang's great-grandson or great-great-grandson?
"Taught!" After Gongsun Xun thought about it for a while, he honestly surrendered and retired.
Then he went back to his side and sat down in the shade of the tree, and quickly untied the water bag and drank the cool boiled water in it...... I have to say that this weather is really uncomfortable, I just hope it doesn't last too long, so as not to cause a big drought!
In this way, after everyone drank some water, blew some wind, and felt a little refreshed, the people in the pavilion also helped them boil a large urn of boiling water...... But Gongsun Xun and the others still continued to sit quietly and talk about the wind, as if they wanted to wait for the boiling water to cool down and be able to put it into the water bag before continuing to leave.
"It turns out that Uncle Zi's surname Lou is actually from the surname Cao?" Gongsun Xun has gained insight. "No wonder you and Cao Mengde have known each other since they were young......"
"Shaojun thinks too much." Lou Gui immediately laughed. "This is just a reason for the day when making friends, Lou out of Cao, is the old thing in the Spring and Autumn Period, there is a Lou country on the south side of Mount Tai that day, out of the surname Ji divided, and then the monarch took Cao as the surname, and then the country was destroyed, and the descendants took the country as the surname, so we have the surname Lou...... How many years has this been? β
Gongsun Xun smiled dumbly.
And at this moment, Lou Gui, who was chatting, suddenly frowned, Gongsun Xun and the others were puzzled, and followed the other party's gaze, but saw a cloth-clothed pedestrian riding a horse on the official road...... Or a young cloth man.
"Uncle Zi knows this person." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be curious.
"Yes and no." Lou Zibo replied in a low voice. "This person doesn't know me, but I know him, and then I don't know this person's name and origin, I only know that this person is about Qingzhou."
"That's weird." Seeing that this person was riding a horse and carrying a package immediately, and he was wet, although he stopped in front of the pavilion, he still walked through the pavilion with a little hesitation, so Han Dang immediately couldn't help but ask. "I've never heard such an acquaintance!"
"It's just a matter of fact." Lou Gui twisted his not very long beard, looked at the other party's distant figure and said. "That day in Luozhong, Shaojun assisted Yangqiu to drive out Zhang Feng and Zhang Hao's brothers, among which Taiwei Zhang Hao returned to Changshan's hometown, but Zhang Feng, the Zhongchang servant, was only living in Wancheng, so Shaojun asked me to pay attention to one or two in case this person counterattacked......"
"It is true." Gongsun Xun also remembered this. "Is this scholar also related to eunuchs? But why did he ride such a horse? β
"I don't know." Lou Gui was also puzzled. "It stands to reason that he should not be short of money and things, because this person is extremely trusted by Zhang Feng......"
"Really?" Gongsun Xun's heart moved, but he remembered Luo Mu Luo Zixian beside Cao Jie, and he didn't know what the bearded man was doing now, and whether he was killed by Cao Jie's anger...... Anyway, he's a very intelligent character.
"Exactly." Lou Zibo naturally didn't know what Gongsun Xun was thinking, so he introduced himself. "Actually, Shaojun doesn't know, according to the information I went to investigate that day, this Zhang Feng was sick after returning home, and then he actually entrusted almost all the things in his house to this person, and often only this person went in and out every day to buy medicine and food...... I still didn't believe it when I heard the report that day, so I went to investigate it myself, so I was on the side of Wancheng Street. β
Everyone was stunned, and at this time, seeing that the pavilion father and pavilion guards in the pavilion had begun to help a few attendants fill cold boiling water, everyone didn't think much about it, so they got up to help...... Ready to continue on your road.
However, at this moment, I saw that the soaking wet soldier actually rode back on his horse...... It's too hot to get around, so I'm going to go back here to rest and drink some water.
But what's interesting is that Gongsun Xun couldn't help but look at this person a few more times, and actually found that he came with a wooden bowl by himself, instead of taking the pottery bowl shared in the pavilion. And then it got even more interesting...... This person first begged a few villagers to fetch water for himself, and then after fetching water, he thanked him again and again, but continued to hold the bowl and begged a few people to pour water for him, instead of directly taking the bowl to the bucket to fill the water.
Just when Gongsun Xun was secretly speechless in his heart, thinking that this scholar was too squeamish, this guy actually held the water like a plague to avoid the villagers who were helping, and retreated far away, before standing on the edge of the shade of the tree and bowing his head to drink water.
And, again and again, they are on the road at a rapid pace, as if this place is so filthy!
To tell the truth, if this was placed in the past when he was young, Gongsun Xun would have to give this poor scholar who looked down on the villagers but defected to the eunuchs on the spot, but today the sun is too prosperous and he is in a hurry, but he is too lazy to say more...... It's just that shortly after he got on the road again, he deliberately gave this person a little smoke.
However, it was only more than ten miles away, and it was still far from today's destination, Chenliu County, and Chenliucheng, but Gongsun Xun and his party were forced to stop again...... This time it was not forced by the sun, but by a sudden summer thunderstorm!
In other words, the weather in summer is changing, before the sun was still high, the heat was pressing, but with a gust of wind and clouds, and then a few muffled thunders...... At this moment, the group of people who had just been filled with water in their stomachs changed color, and they directly turned their horses' heads and went to another pavilion just past behind them!
You must know that if it rains in this kind of weather, whether you drink boiled water or well water, you are afraid that you will get sick...... And once you get sick in these years, from the Son of Heaven down to Li Shu, it is not easy to say.
And sure enough, everyone came to the not very decent pavilion behind them, and as soon as they tied their horses and hid in the house, they heard a burst of thunder rolling again, followed by raindrops the size of beans falling directly.
Gongsun Xun and the others looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do!
More and more people are sheltering from the rain...... And most of the latecomers were farmers who were farming nearby, and they were almost all soaked, and as soon as they entered, they stripped shirtless under the porch. And I don't know if he has good intentions, or if he doesn't want to cause the anger of Gongsun Xun and the others standing under the porch, the pavilion chief is also easy to speak, and he doesn't mean to reprimand at all, but let these shirtless villagers enter the house next door to hide.
Seeing this, Gongsun Xun didn't say much, but gave up the empty house behind him, and let the peasant women who were also fighting drought in the fields enter to hide...... That's right, how can a woman in these years not work in the field? Not to mention that it's a time of great drought.
Of course, after this rain, I am afraid that the drought will also be alleviated a lot, which can also be felt from the meat jokes told by the male and female villagers in the houses on both sides and the helpless face of the pavilion chief next to him.
"Shaojun!" Just when Gongsun Xun was listening to the meat jokes in the countryside of Henan with a smile on his face, Lou Gui suddenly hit the other party's ribs.
"See." Gongsun Xun squinted his eyes slightly, but he raised his eyes and saw an 'acquaintance' leading a horse just coming in at the gate of the pavilion. "The matter in Luozhong has been concluded, Dao Zuo meets, don't pay attention to it!"
Lou Gui and the others nodded immediately.
"Dare to ask the pavilion chief, there is a place to shelter from the rain." After the scholar tied his horse, he came to the front of the corridor, and then he didn't care about the rain on his head, so he actually stood in the courtyard and greeted the pavilion chief standing beside Gongsun Xun from a distance.
The pavilion chief saw that the other party was a scholar, but he didn't take the shelf, but told the truth: "The house is gone, our pavilion is small, there are only two empty rooms, and this noble man is generous, the two rooms are given to the male and female villagers who are farming in the fields outside, you want to enter the house to avoid the rain, so go to the room where the man on the left hand is, if you don't want to go in and smell the sweat, you can hide under the porch...... Anyway, come and shelter from the rain, don't stand there and get drenched! β
Hearing this, this person hesitated again and again in the rain, and then actually bowed slightly, turned around and left!
Rao is Gongsun Xun didn't want to make trouble, and he couldn't help but be angry at this time, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the anger and call out to this person coldly: "That scholar from Qingzhou, come back with me!" β
You must know that although Gongsun Xun did not wear a seal ribbon and was too young, after all, he had been trained in the army and Shangshutai, and his bearing and demeanor were also sharpened a little...... Coupled with his clothes, mounts, and attendants, anyone with some eyesight can probably see that he is a so-called 'noble'!
Therefore, as soon as he shouted like this, he even pointed out the word Qingzhou, and the scholar immediately turned back honestly...... However, this guy is still standing in the courtyard in the rain.
"Where are you going?" Gongsun Xun stood with his hands in his hands, his face unswerving, and immediately asked.
"Returning to this nobleman, I will go to the porch to shelter from the rain......" The man couldn't help but wipe the rain from his face and replied embarrassedly.
In other words, this person has repeatedly behaved before, Gongsun Xun only thought that this person was a little weird and clean, or he believed that he was a scholar, so he looked down on the villagers, so he sneered in his heart, and even because he was unwilling to stand under the corridor with himself and others, he couldn't help but be a little angry.
But when he heard that this person was going to take refuge in the stable, preparing to get along with many animals and animal dung, and that it was not rude to be in prison, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but doubt his judgment...... Is it because this person is related to Zhang Feng, who is often servant, and has a preconceived attitude?
Just when Gongsun Xun was hesitating, he didn't know which villager in the room behind him sneezed in embarrassment, which caused a burst of laughter in the house, but he couldn't help but move in his heart.
"Come up on the porch!" Gongsun Xun let go of a vacant seat, and then urged. "I am the new Xiangping Linggong Sun Xun, what is your name and where is you?"
Hearing this, this person couldn't help but look up at the nature under the corridor in amazement, but he was still reluctant to step forward, and then replied in the rain:
"Beihai Yingling people, Wang Xiu Wang Shuzhi, I have seen White Horse Zhonglang! I really don't want to, I will meet Lang Zhong Daozuo! β
ββββββI'm the dividing line of the air is very agitatedββββββ
"Wang Xiuzi Shuzhi, Beihai Yingling people, twenty years old, travel to Nanyang, stop the righteous house, and later know that Zhang Feng is set up, will go. Every time he is driven by the yang ball, he returns to Wan, and his family is sick, and he has no one to look at. If you are close to your relatives, you will be cured of your illness. β"The World Speaks New Words".
