Chapter 1113: Sacrifice
At dusk when the sun sank down the hillside, on a winding mountain road, the two walked one step after the other, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Hu Che'er led the way in front, and Lu Bu followed behind.
Here is a little far away from Chang'an City, the two first rode to the foot of the mountain, because the mountain road is rugged, the horse is difficult to walk, so they got off the horse and changed to walk to climb the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, Hu Che'er, who was leading the way in front, suddenly paused.
"Can't walk?"
Seeing Hu Che'er stop, Lu Bu asked.
Hu Che'er shook his head and just said, "King, we have arrived." ”
Arrived?
Lu Bu was suspicious, he raised his eyes and looked around, there was still an endless mountain road in front of him, and the road was lined with trees, bushes and weeds, and there was no cemetery in sight.
"Where's the grave of the gentleman?" Lu Bu asked.
Hu Che'er stepped to the side, and in a very inconspicuous place, he said, "This is it." ”
Lu Bu looked at the cemetery, where Hu Che'er pointed out, there was only a slightly raised small earthen bag, which was also covered with deep weeds. If Hu Che'er hadn't specifically pointed it out, it would have almost been ignored.
There is no tombstone, no cemetery, not even a spirit card, and the identity of the owner of the tomb is unknown.
His husband was buried in the barren mountains and mountains.
"Hu Che'er, did you remember the wrong place?"
Such a barren place, at first glance, is a poor and sinister place, how can the gentleman know yin and yang, how can he bury himself here?
Lu Bu didn't want to believe it from the bottom of his heart.
"When Mr. was buried, I was one of the coffin bearers, and there would be no mistake." Hu Che'er found an open space, put down the things in his hand for memorials, and said with confidence.
"In the past two years, no one has taken care of it?"
Looking at the overgrown cemetery, Lu Bu's heart was sour.
Hu Che'er shook his head, Mr. said that he couldn't leak the news, in order to avoid being suspected, no one had come here to sweep the tomb and pay respects. Even on the day of death, Hu Che'er only came out in the middle of the night, quietly put some sacrifices, and didn't dare to make too many moves.
After learning the reason, Lu Bu was even more guilty, Mr. has paid too much for him in his life, this is the case before his death, and he is still like this after his death.
"Sir, Boo has come to see you."
Standing in front of the small earthen bag, Lu Bu bowed solemnly and bent over, with infinite emotion and remembrance.
Except for the mountain breeze, all that was left was the cooing echo of the cuckoo in the deep forest.
In the mountains, it was silent.
Lu Bu wrapped his sleeve robe around twice, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his slightly swarthy forearms, and personally pulled out the weeds around the grave, wanting to create a clean environment for the cemetery.
Hu Che'er came to help, but was stopped by Lu Bu, Mr. was gone, and he wanted to do something for Mr. by himself.
By the time I was done, it was already nightfall.
The incense candles used for worship were lit and illuminated a very small area in front of the tomb.
Later, Lu Bu cut down the tree, peeled off its outer skin, and cut a rectangular tomb plaque in the middle.
Sitting in front of the grave, Lu Bu laid out the offerings, and while carefully carving the words with a dagger, he said to the soil bag: "Sir, Bu brought a pig's head and mutton this time, as well as the snacks and snacks you loved to eat during your lifetime. Also, the fine wine brought back from Ji and Xu. ”
Regardless of whether the people sleeping underground could hear it or not, Lu Bu just kept talking.
Time is gone, the time is coming to an end, the moonlight is already high in the sky, and the breeze blowing in the mountains is full of chills.
The tomb card of the joke is finally done.
My dear friend, the tomb of Zhicai.
Looking at the tomb plate in his hand, Lu Bu gently stroked it, and the sadness in his heart spontaneously arose, and he stood on the grave.
"King, it's not too early, we should go back." Hu Che'er glanced at the sky and whispered to Lu Bu.
After all, there is still a long way to go from Chang'an.
"You go, I won't leave tonight, just stay here and accompany Mr."
Lu Bu said very indifferently.
"How can this be done, king, there are so many fierce beasts in the mountains, how can I rest assured that you stay here!" Hu Che'er shook his head again and again, saying that if Lu Bu didn't leave, he must stay.
"If a man is not afraid, why should he be afraid of beasts?"
Lu Bu is a little domineering, the fierce generals who have fought over the years, which one is not more powerful than the beast!
"Hu Che'er, let's go, I have a lot of things to say to Mr., if you stay, it will only increase the embarrassment. When you come tomorrow, bring some more wine, and tell me that I won't see anyone these days......"
Lu Bu commanded a few times, and Hu Che'er nodded in response: "King, then you should be more careful, I will come back tomorrow." ”
After that, Hu Che'er said goodbye to Lu Bu and walked down the mountain.
In the entire mountain field, only Lu Bu was left.
He was not afraid, but first refilled the candle flame and the fragrance, and then took a jar of wine, poured two full bowls, sprinkled one on the grave, and drank the bowl in a big gulp.
"Sir, it's really lonely for you to leave Bu alone. I didn't believe at first when I learned that you were gone, but now I have to believe ......"
Lu Bu poured himself another full bowl and saluted the grave: "Come, sir, I salute you!" ”
After pouring another bowl, Lu Bu continued: "Sir, you know, I am a rough person, and I don't have much knowledge. In my life, I am either at war or on the way to war. In these years, he fought in the east and west, fighting Xianbei, Yellow Turban, Dong Zhuo, and princes. Now that the whole Han is at my feet, I think that we can finally share the peace and prosperity with my husband. But sir, why did you just leave! ”
Speaking of this, a few tears welled up in Lu Bu's eyes.
He stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and then raised his head to suffocate a bowl, the wine was cold, but it burned his heart and throat especially hot.
"Sir, do you think it's worth it?"
Lu Bu suddenly yelled, but still no one answered.
He laughed to himself and asked himself, "I guess you'd say it's worth it." ”
Coo-to-goo, coo-to-goo......
Lu Bu picked up the wine jar, this time he even saved the bowl, and the wine went down his mouth and poured it directly into his throat.
Ahem, ahem, ahem.
It wasn't until he choked and coughed again and again that Lu Bu put down the half-empty wine jar.
He stood up, stared at the sky, and yelled as if venting: "But I'm just going to say today, it's worth it, it's worth a fart!" ”
"Fuck it! Fuck the world! ”
"If I could, I would rather go back to the past, when we didn't have a position of power, but at least, the big guys got together. Now, Cao Xing, Wei Musheng, Xue Lan, Li Feng......
The brothers at the beginning, one by one, died on the battlefield. ”
Sir, you are also buried in the ground.
"You are all gone, what is the use of me wanting this world!"
Lu Bu roared angrily into the sky, and his whole body was agitated.
When the wild beasts of the mountains heard this, they all retreated to their caves, and did not dare to come out again.
That night, Lu Bu drank all the wine.
After getting drunk, he lay on his stomach on the bulging little dirt bag, as if hugging his closest old friend and confidant.
Half-drunk and half-awake, he faintly saw countless fluorescent weaves into a white figure, and the man walked towards him, like a spring breeze.
"Sir, I miss you so much."
Lu Bu muttered and grinned, as if he had returned to the past.
After that, he fell into a deep sleep.
