After walking for more than half an hour, Liu Tong finally knew how far "just behind" was.

A few people first climbed over the ridge and meandered down the rocky cliff path to the west, and in the distance they could see a basin, and a small river ran through the basin.

Liu Tong looked carefully at the basin, but he did not find a village, the basin was overgrown with weeds and sparse trees. The boy led a few people around an abrupt mountain peak, a mountain col appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the southwest mountain slowly descended, gradually flattened, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was a small river flowing, a row of five or six wooden grass-roofed houses stood between the abrupt mountain tip and the small river. If you hadn't bypassed the top of the mountain, you wouldn't have been able to see the row of houses from a distance.

It's a great place to retreat! Liu Tong was amazed in his heart, he could choose to settle here, this family was definitely not simple, and he couldn't help but wonder where the sacred secluded lived here. Liu Tong carefully looked around, and saw that there were several vegetable fields between the house and the stream, and not far from the front of the house was a little wasted land, the soil and stones in front of the door were level, and there were a lot of prey jerky hanging on the drying pole. Judging by the area of vegetable plots and land, the family does not have a large population.

"Mother, I'm back!" The black young man shouted at the top of his voice before he entered the door.

As soon as the words fell, a young woman who was less than thirty years old greeted her and took the roe deer on the young man's shoulder, and the young woman suddenly saw Liu Tong and the three of them behind her, and looked at the three of them vigilantly and unexpectedly, and froze in place.

Liu Tong saw that although the young woman was wearing coarse cloth clothes, she was very clean, her expression was serious but her appearance was enchanting, and her big eyes were like clear sky and clear water, which was seductive.

When the young man saw that the young woman was stunned, he hurriedly said, "Mother, I met these three passers-by in Dongao, and they wanted to spend the night, so I brought them." ”

The woman's complaining eyes glanced at the young man, and saw that Wang Bing, an old Taoist aunt, took two teenagers, and also went to the heart of vigilance, beckoned everyone, bolted the horse to the drying pole in front of the door, and welcomed the door.

"Mother, let's eat roe deer tonight, this is what I won with this big brother." The young man pulled Liu Tong and said.

Liu Tong saluted to the young woman, "Madam, under Liu Tong, my third grandmother, and Duan'er's sister are from Yecheng, passing through here and going to Hanzhong, disturbing me." ”

After hearing this, the young woman smiled and said, "It's a guest from afar, and the son is polite." He turned his head to the young man and said: "Wu Ji, you went to the river to wash the roe deer, and you will have dinner in a while, today your Uncle Xing went to Wei Xingcai to buy, and before he came back, we will not wait for him." ”

Mrs. Wu placed Wang Bing and Long Duan'er in a bedroom, which was simple, with only a wooden table and bed. Liu Tong followed Wu Ji to the river to wash the roe deer, Liu Tong had never done such a thing, and he couldn't intervene, Wu Ji was really skilled, and he dealt with the roe deer after a while.

Mrs. Wu is very skilled, a pot of roe meat and two plates of green vegetables are very delicious, Liu Tong has been in the field for the past two days, so he feasted and ate a full meal.

After the meal, Wang Bing took Long Duan'er to sleep in the first room in the east, and Liu Tong and Wu Ji slept in the same room, which was the first room in the east next to the hall. Because of the long journey, several people quickly fell asleep.

Liu Tong was in a daze, and heard the sound of horses' hooves coming slowly, and Mrs. Wu went out from the west room and greeted him. Liu Tong opened his eyes and saw a faint light coming in through the window in front of the house.

"Lan'er, these three people are strange, that horse is clearly Lu Bu's mount, the Red Rabbit Horse, could it be that this young man is the son of the enemy?" A man lowered his voice and walked heavily into the house, presumably carrying a heavy load. Liu Tong heard that the man put the heavy object into the hall and entered the West House with Mrs. Wu. The man and Mrs. Wu lowered their voices and whispered in the west bedroom, because they were far apart, and Rao is deep internal strength was not audible clearly.

Liu Tong was very vigilant, thinking that this family was probably Lu Bu's enemy, but don't take advantage of the fact that the three of them are asleep and misunderstand that they are Lu Bu's family, and it will not be good if there is any inappropriate behavior.

After getting up and getting dressed, Liu Tong came to the West House and knocked on the door. Mrs. Wu opened the door, Liu Tong saw Mrs. Wu and a handsome and tall man standing at the door, Mrs. Wu's face was twisted, "Liu Gongzi, Brother Xing just came back from the purchase, disturbing Gongzi's rest." ”

Liu Tong saw that the man was in his thirties, handsome, concisely dressed, and scholarly, but his heroic spirit was exposed, and he thought it was Wu Ji's father, so he saluted and said: "Liu Tong, the grandson of Liu Yu, the former Youzhou pastor and the son of Liu Kuan, the governor of the north, has saluted the uncle of the Wu family. ”

After hearing this, the man grabbed Liu Tong's hands, "Gongzi is the grandson of Zongzheng?" His face suddenly became enthusiastic from a defensive demeanor, and he pulled Liu Tong into the room and sat next to the desk.

"Childe, in Xia Wuxing, is it a red rabbit horse outside the house?" Wu Xing asked.

Liu Tong nodded, "Oh, that was when I robbed Lu Bu with my father Liu Kuan, and now it's my mount, my uncle hasn't heard of it?" ”

The man shook his head and said: "After the failure of my general's assassination of Dong, the Wu family was beheaded by Lu Bu's house, and I only saved the little lady and the little boy to flee here to live in seclusion, and I don't know much about the situation outside. ”

It turned out that the man was the former Yue cavalry captain Wu Fu's general, Wu Fu was a native of Runan Wufang, and the official was the Yue cavalry captain.

In September 189 AD, due to Dong Zhuo's dictatorship and brutalization of Zhongliang, Wu Fu was determined to stab him to death with his own hands. So he wore a court robe and went to see Dong Zhuo, Wu Fu finished his words and said goodbye to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo got up and sent him to the door of the pavilion, and affectionately stroked Wu Fu's back with his hand. Wu Fu took the opportunity to draw his sharp blade and stab at Dong, but did not hit. Dong Zhuo struggled to resist, randomly called for the left and right to arrest him, wanted to kill Wu Fu, and scolded: "An dare to rebel!" ”

Wu Fu said loudly: "I can't wait to break your traitor's body into thousands of pieces in the downtown area, to thank the gods of heaven and earth!" Before the words fell, Lu Bu rushed up, and a halberd pierced through the chest and died. Lu Bu led people to Wufu's house and killed dozens of Wufu families. Wu Xing protected Wu Fu's concubine Li Lan and his young son Wu Ji to escape and lived in seclusion here.

Liu Tong listened to it for a while, and then he was angry. After listening to it, he exclaimed: "What a hero! Ding Guan hit Zhuo and died, Wu Fu killed the thief and died, what a big husband! ”

Liu Tong saw that the misunderstanding was cleared up, and he didn't have to worry about the safety of the three of them, so he was sleepy, so he arched his hand and said: "General Wu has worked hard all the way, I won't bother, you guys rest early, I'll go back to sleep." ”

After Li Lan heard this, her face turned red, and Wu Xing sent Liu Tong out. Liu Tong returned to the house and fell asleep.

On the second day, the sky was bright, and Liu Tong could hear the sound of someone practicing martial arts outside the house, whirring and whirring. Liu Tong was in a hurry recently, and he didn't insist on practicing martial arts for several days, and he didn't feel itchy hands, so he got up and came out with a dragon stick.

I saw that on the field in front of the door, Wu Xing and Wu Ji were rehearsing martial arts side by side, and both of them were using big swords, opening and closing, and the tiger was vigorous. Liu Tong looked at the crutch curiously, and Wu Xing saw this with a displeased face and stopped.

Wu Ji saw Wu Xing stop, found Liu Tong on the side, and said, "Liu Gongzi also knows martial arts?" Let's practice together. "As he spoke, he came to pull Liu Tong.

Liu Tong shook his head, "Wu Ji, you can practice by yourself, I'm afraid of getting hurt." ”

Wu Xing was quite impressive, and said: "Liu Gongzi is okay, you have golden branches and jade leaves, and Wu Ji has his own measure." ”

Liu Tong was surprised that Wu Xing said this, but he was afraid of hurting him, but he was not ashamed?

In desperation, he had to be pulled by Wu Ji to the center of the field. Wu Ji pulled out the posture and was about to make a move, "Ji'er, don't hurt Liu Gongzi." Wu Xing saw Wu draw out the knife and said in time.

Wu Ji slashed with a knife, Liu Tong gently let it go, Wu Ji saw that Liu Tong was so agile, he used all his strength, and slashed out three times in a row, the upper, middle and lower three roads were extremely powerful, and Liu Tong gently let go. Wu Ji jumped up, the knife split Huashan to meet Liu Tong's door, Liu Tong saw the ferocity, had to swing the stick to beat, only to hear the sound of the bell, Wu Ji took off the big knife, flew out a few feet away, and fell in the field.

Wu Ji's hands were numb, standing in place, his hands were shaking, Wu Xing was stunned and couldn't react, Liu Tong stuck the stick on the ground, hurried over, looked at Wu Ji's hands, and was relieved to see that he was not injured.

Wu Ji was very happy, pulled Liu Tong and said, "Young Master Liu, you are very strong in martial arts!" Who taught you? ”

Liu Tong was bored and said, "My grandparents forced me to learn." ”

Wu Xing reacted, ran to pick up Wu Ji's big knife, and said, "Thank you Liu Gongzi's men for their mercy." ”

Wu Xing thought to himself, Liu Tong is really a royal nobleman, and martial arts must be taught by masters, and it is not good to practice martial arts again, so he turned around and went back to the house to help Li Lan burn the fire and cook.
