Volume 1 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 8 Return to the Mountain

Guo Bin's business of selling soap went quite smoothly, and he stayed in Guojiazhuang for a few days, and saw that Guo Yong handled everything in an orderly manner, so he took Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia back to Fulong Mountain.

In the past few days, everyone has stepped on a small road on the route between Fulong Mountain and Guojiazhuang. Feeling something in his heart for a while, Guo Bin said to Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia: "There is no road in the world, and when there are more people, it becomes a road." Xi Zhicai came for the first time, and he didn't feel much when he saw the scene in front of him, but Guo Jia was the first to walk this road, and when he came for the first time, everyone was almost injured by the black python, so he also nodded with emotion. After walking for a while, Xi Zhicai said: "Brother Guo has lofty ambitions, but his ambitions are not as good as those of his talents." ”

Guo Bin thought to himself: "Where do I have lofty ambitions, I just remembered a sentence from Mr. Lu Xun in the middle school textbook." But his face was silent, only smiling and nodding.

Seeing this, Xi Zhicai affirmed what he thought in his heart, and said in his heart: "This person is benevolent and righteous, and he has hills and valleys in his chest, and his views are novel. Although it is simple on the outside, it has its own splendor. Thinking about the theory of productivity that he put forward earlier, it is clear that the words of the appropriate talent are to take a different path from the sages of the past dynasties. The eldest husband was born in the world and has his own ambitions. Seeing that the world is thriving, the poor have no place to stand. The court is afraid that it will not be caught, but now the relatives are in power, the eunuchs are chaotic, and I am afraid that the troubled times are not far away. ”

Thinking of this, he looked at Guo Bin's immature back in front of him, and said in his heart: "Wait to go to Fulong Mountain to take a look, if such an extraordinary person has a foundation, maybe he can really walk out of a different way." ”

Guo Bin didn't know that his words caused the cranky thoughts of the most important strategist in his life, and only led everyone to Fulong Mountain.

When I came to the foot of Fulong Mountain, I saw that there seemed to be a lot less mountains and forests near the cottage. When I went further inside, I saw a clearing in front of the stockade, and a large shed was built next to the clearing with branches and thatch, and in it were placed freshly cut logs, which were supposed to be used for drying. The cottage is still surrounded by the original fence wall, and through the fence wall, I only see that there seem to be a lot of buildings in the village.

Seeing Guo Bin and his entourage, someone had already shouted: "The lord is back, the lord is back..."

After a while, Tong Yuan also heard the news and rushed from the village. Xu is having a good time recently, and this martial arts master is now more and more energetic. Seeing Tong Yuan come out, Guo Bin lifted his robe and was about to kneel down, but was supported by Tong Yuan. I only heard him say: "Don't be polite, you have a different status now, and you have to establish your prestige." Hearing this, Guo Bin was inexplicably moved.

At this time, Tong Yuan looked at Xi Zhicai and asked Guo Bin, "Who is this?" ”

Guo Bin came back to his senses, and hurriedly took Xi Zhicai's hand and said: "Good master learned that this benevolent brother surnamed Xi, his name is loyal, and his character is Zhicai, which I met at Mr. Decao. Brother Zhicai, when he heard about the cottage, he came with his disciples. Immediately, he said to Xi Zhicai: "Brother Zhicai, this is a family teacher." Shangtong Xiayuan is a great martial arts master in the world today. ”

Without waiting for Guo Bin to finish speaking, Xi Zhicai took his hand and said, "But Tong Xiongfu?" Guo Bin said: "The word of the family teacher is Xiongfu. ”

Xi Zhicai hurriedly bowed down and said, "Xi Zhong greets Mr. Tong." Tong Yuan hurriedly helped him up, but he was puzzled in his heart. Although he has been walking in the rivers and lakes for a long time and has a great reputation, he didn't expect that he would still have this reputation among scholars. Seeing that the weak scholar who should have nothing to do with it should have nothing to do with it bowed down with a look of adoration, he really couldn't figure out the reason. What I thought in my heart was a little hesitant to act.

What kind of person is Xi Zhicai, he suddenly suddenly explained: "I have a friend named Xu Fu, who is from the Changshe family. Although his family is poor, he has been addicted to swordsmanship since he was a child, and he is good at chivalry and righteousness, and often regards himself as a benevolent man. Three years ago, he avenged his friend, stabbed someone to death by mistake, and was captured by officers and soldiers. After many rescues, he escaped from danger and changed his name to Xu Shu, and since then he has been determined to learn from Confucianism. ”

After a pause, he said: "I once heard him mention that it was Mr. Tong who rescued him from danger, and it was Mr. Tong's teaching that made him abandon martial arts." When it comes to Mr.'s name, I always feel inexplicable, and I can't wait to worship Mr. Every time I mention Mr.'s life-saving grace and the virtue of on-demand, I am all grateful. It's just that I don't know where Mr. Xianju is, and I can't repay my hatred. Xu Shu and I have been friends since childhood, like brothers, and it is a blessing to see Mr. today for three lives. Saying that, Xi Zhicai was deeply stunned again.

Tong Yuan stretched out his hand to help Xi Zhicai and said, "There was such a thing three years ago. When I went south alone to meet my friends, passing through Yingchuan, I happened to see officers and soldiers tying up a teenager and beating drums and parading the streets, but no one identified me. I questioned the onlookers carefully, and after many investigations, I learned that this young man was locked up by the government for killing a bully, and I thought that he was afraid of implicating his friends, so he said nothing. Because he felt that although he was young, he was chivalrous, so he rescued him, and remembered that the name seemed to be called Xu Fu. Afterwards, he also persuaded him to learn more Confucianism and Taoism, understand the truth, and cultivate his body and mind, but he didn't expect him to abandon martial arts and literature, which is really good. ”

Only then did Guo Bin realize that what they were talking about was Xu Shu! In his heart, he was also secretly surprised by Tong Yuan's prestige. I didn't expect that my cheap master would have such a high status in the rivers and lakes, just like a character in Jin Daxia's novels.

At this time, I felt that someone was pulling me, and when I looked back, it was Guo Quan. I haven't seen this kid for half a month, but it's a lot darker. At this time, he was pulling Guo Bin and said, "Brother Binzi, you are finally back." Come on, and see the treasures piled up in the warehouse under the wise leadership of my Guo Quan. ”

Guo Bin was curious about what treasure he had found, so he pulled Xi Zhicai to watch, Tong Yuan smiled and nodded, letting them take care of themselves, obviously knowing in their hearts.

When I entered the village, I saw that there was an extra pigsty, and the piglets inside were humming and eating. Next to the pigsty is a wooden fence wall, and after Guo Quan's explanation, he knew that it was a sheepfold. At this time it was still early, and the children who were grazing the sheep had not yet returned, and the sheepfold was empty.

Guo Bin said: "Where did you go to herd sheep?" There are wild beasts in the mountains, don't do anything. "As he spoke, he was going to find someone. was pulled by Guo Quan, Guo Quan said: "Brother Zhao takes them, don't worry." ”

When he heard that it was Zhao Yun who took the child to herd sheep, he was suddenly curious, and said, "Senior brother didn't take anyone to hunt?" I haven't seen many young people in the village, where have they gone? ”

Guo Quandao: "Since you went down the mountain, Brother Zhao will not go hunting in a few days, saying that a group of people is enough to deal with the blind bear." ”

Guo Bin said happily when he heard this: "I really didn't expect such rapid progress." ”

Guo Quan obviously became a jack-of-all-trades in the cottage in just over half a month, and said to Guo Bin: "They have Brother Zhao to hunt during the day, and come back at night to learn your one-handed stabbing technique, Mr. Tong will occasionally point out two hands, and if it doesn't work, it deserves to be eaten by the blind bear." In the past half a month, two groups of people have been rotated every day, and the work of 30 people has been okay. Xiao Guo pretended to be old, shaking his head and saying.

Guo Jia saw it interesting, stretched out his foot and kicked him, and then the two of them giggled and laughed.

Xi Zhicai on the side was shocked when he heard it, and said in his heart: "Two groups a day, rotate once every three days, that is, six groups of people." Thirty people were divided into six groups, and there were only five people in one group. These young men dared to go deep into the mountains and forests in groups of five, and listening to the meaning of that kid's words, they could even deal with the blind bear. Thinking of this, looking at Guo Bin, who was smiling stupidly next to him, watching Guo Quan and Guo Jia fighting, I was even more curious. This Guo Bin, what hole cards do you have.

A few people talked and laughed, and soon came to the warehouse that had just been built. Pushing the door in, Guo Bin saw a corner neatly stacked with soap wrapped in fine linen. Staying under Guo Quan's guidance to the other side, he saw a basket of purple grapes, and his eyes also showed surprise.

Guo Quandao: "Brother Binzi, this is what Ma Jun found when he followed Brother Zhao into the mountain, and he picked a lot of it back." Later, I ordered them to pick them and sell them to Yangzhai City. Listening to Guo Quan's bragging, Guo Jia rolled his eyes again.

Guo Bin said: "Well done, these grapes are all treasures." ”

Guo Quan ignored Guo Jia's white eyes, and when he heard Guo Bin praising him, he grinned behind his ears, and said loudly: "Look at the military advisor, Brother Bin Zi said that he did a good job." I'll let them ship it back tomorrow and let my father sell it in Yangzhai City to exchange farm tools. Saying that, he actually learned from Guo Yong, and pretended to brush his long hair that didn't exist. looked at Guo Jia again, and rolled his eyes again.

Guo Bin patted Guo Quan's head and said, "No, you can't sell it." My brother kept these treasures for other purposes. ”

At this time, Xi Zhi secretly pondered, why does Guo Bin want to use these raisins?

No matter what Guo Bin was going to do, Guo Quan led everyone to walk around the village for a while, and saw the sun slanting westward. After a while, the children who were herding sheep surrounded Zhao Yun and the two groups of people who had returned from hunting and returned to the cottage.

Seeing Guo Bin coming back, the two brothers had to shush and ask for warmth.

After eating a dinner consisting of corn porridge mixed with minced meat and fried beans with oil residue, Guo Bin summoned Zhao Yun, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Guo Quan and Guan Hai to Tong Yuan's room for a meeting.

At the meeting, Guo Bin put forward several requirements, one is to vigorously pick grapes and protect the slopes where grapes are produced. The second is that he wants a lot of wine jars, and he wants to make wine. The third is to catch rabbits, and in the future, not only to raise chickens and ducks, pigsty and sheepfolds, but also to raise rabbits.

On several requests put forward by Guo Bin, everyone started a discussion. And according to the specific situation of the cottage, a practical plan was proposed. For example, regarding wine jars, Guo Jia proposed that all the utensils such as water tanks and crockpots that could be vacated be emptied, and sent a message to Guo Yong to purchase wine jars in the county. The matter of rabbits is still Zhao Yun's idea, to set a trap and catch the rabbit alive, and he also let him pack the work of setting a trap. In addition, there was a heated discussion on the problem of rabbits like to burrow, and in the end no one had a good idea, so they could only dig a deep ditch in the corner of the village, fill it with big stones and build a rabbit's nest.

In the end, the conference ended in a warm atmosphere, and everyone dispersed and slept peacefully.
