Chapter 45: The Funeral
Liu Kan returned to the place where the rebels camped all the way from the small road, but found that there was no one else, not only that, but there was not even a camp tent in a radius of five miles, if it weren't for the fact that there were still some carriage prints left in the open space, Liu Kan would almost suspect that this was his own dream.
went to a teahouse on the side of the road to drink tea, and took the opportunity to inquire about Liu Kan only to learn that after his disappearance, Lu Ming spread the reason for his disappearance, and kept saying that he died in the hands of Qin Jun, and his bones were gone.
Although the generals in the army didn't believe it and wanted to stay here to search for their traces, but the soldiers in the army were panicked, and Wu Guang in the rear kept sending people to ask them to withdraw their troops, so they had no choice but to retreat to Yucheng first, so there was no one here.
Liu Kan didn't blame them, after all, if he did, he would have temporarily withdrawn his troops. Drinking all the herbal tea in the cup, Liu Kan, who was sitting in the corner, silently put on a sticky hat and left the teahouse quietly, leaving a coin on the table.
After Liu Kan left the teahouse, he went straight back to Yucheng, at this time the night had fallen, he was not afraid at all when he walked alone in the desolate night, but he came out too hurriedly and did not bring anything, and he was already hungry after walking for so long, but since the two armies carried out, the people have not been able to make a living, and there is no family nearby, Liu Kan has no choice but to speed up his pace, thinking that he will not be hungry and cold if he goes back as soon as possible.
It wasn't until the morning that Liu Kan arrived at the city gate, and when the city gate opened, he rushed in, but after entering the inside, he saw that every household in the city was full of white silk and linen, looking like the whole city was doing a funeral, and there was no sound on the road, and occasionally a few pieces of paper money would float in the sky, which really looked like a dead city.
Just when Liu Kan was puzzled, he heard a thin cry in front of him, men, women and children, as if whose family was doing a funeral, Liu Kan was afraid that he was in the way, so he had to stand aside, quietly waiting for the person who sent the coffin to pass, but the crowd was close, Liu Kan found that there were many people wearing armor among the people who sent the coffin, could it be that someone in the army died?
Liu Kan was a little strange, so he carefully went to see the person who sent the coffin, and soon found that there was an acquaintance of his own, the big man walked in the middle of the crowd and held a wooden tablet, crying very terrifyingly, Liu Kan fixed his eyes and saw who it was if it was not Ge Ying? ! And isn't the wooden tablet he was holding in his hand engraved with his own name?!
What the hell is this thing doing? Is it sending a coffin to yourself? Isn't this a curse for Young Master?
Liu Kan felt that if he didn't come out to refute the rumors at this time, they would bury "himself", so he had no choice but to jump out from the side, stop in front of everyone, and say loudly: "What are you doing?" When did I die, my lord is alive and well! ”
Everyone in the pavilion was expecting Ai Ai to cry about Liu Kan's untimely death and jealousy of talent, and suddenly saw the owner descending from the sky with an angry face, and was instantly shocked, crying and dropping the things in his hand and running away, except for a few people around Ge Ying, only Liu Kan himself was left.
"Brother?" Xia Nan, who was standing behind Ge Ying, was the first to recognize Liu Kan, she was dressed in linen and filial piety, and her big hat completely covered her entire haggard little face, so that she stood for so long before Liu Kan recognized her, "Brother, you are not dead?" It's great that my brother didn't die! ”
Xia Nan's white face still had tears on her face, and now she was laughing because of the huge surprise, which was really a bit funny, but Liu Kan didn't mean to laugh at her at this time, and took a few steps forward to take Xia Nan into his arms, Liu Kan said with emotion: "It's my brother, my brother won't die so easily." ”
When he was sad, Liu Kan hurriedly had a pain in his shoulder, it turned out that Ge Ying, who had been stunned, reacted, and hammered Liu Kan angrily, his face was full of undried tears, and scolded: "You stinky boy is really angry with me, why don't you come back when you are still alive, do you know how sad we are these days?" Xia Nan and Mr. Qian have been crying for days, and even I ...... Even one of my big men has shed tears for you. ”
Ge Ying has always respected Liu Kan the most, and he thought that he would be scolded by Liu Kan because he was so angry that he didn't care at all, but the place where Ge Ying beat him just now involved the wound on his chest, and he couldn't help but turn pale and cry out in pain when he wasn't prepared for a while, "Even if I come back alive, I will be killed by you." ”
Ge Ying and Xia Nan found out that Liu Kan was missing and alive, but because he was injured and couldn't move, he had to find a place to recuperate, so he didn't come back on time.
Xia Nan was distressed, glanced at Ge Ying with an angry face, hurriedly went up to help Liu Kan, and said to Ge Ying who was regretting on the side: "Why don't you help my brother back and let Mr. Qian see, if something really happens, I will be the first to not let you go." ”
The little Xia Nan opened his teeth and claws in front of Ge Ying, but Ge Ying didn't dare to show a little dissatisfaction, so he had to take Liu Kan's hand across his shoulder and help Liu Kan back to his residence step by step.
Liu Kan came back alive, except for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the morning, I don't know how many people have come, all of them came up with a polite word, and then it was a gift pushed up by the mountain, Liu Kan was so annoyed that after waiting for Mr. Qian to help him bandage his wounds, he coaxed everyone out on the grounds that he needed to recuperate, and the people left in the room were all trustworthy people around him.
After Mr. Qian received the medicine box, he sat on the stool on the side and wrote the prescription and handed it to Ge Ying, and said a few words to Xia Nan, so that he had time to ask Liu Kan what he had done during the time he was missing, and why he was injured like this, Liu Kan had no choice but to tell everyone about his night visit to Chen County and the things he was rescued, but I don't know why he didn't tell Lu Yan about it, thinking that it was not a glorious thing for him to feel that a big man actually suffered at the hands of a woman, so it was okay not to say it.
"You withdrew after I disappeared, so aren't all our previous efforts in vain?" After explaining his problem, Liu Kan couldn't help but think of the affairs of the army, and blamed Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others for why they asked to withdraw the army.
Ge Ying looked ashamed and said: "After the disappearance of the adult, Lu Ming came to find fault every day, none of us were his opponents and there was no way to force the attack, so he could only be humiliated, and a few days later, an order was issued from above, asking to withdraw from the army, and we had to come back, otherwise the whole army would be wiped out." ”
