Chapter 31: Yue Lu Lao San

Liu Tong heard the overwhelming sound of horses' hooves, and a trace of panic suddenly rose in his heart. This hint of panic made Liu Tong blush a little. Although for the sake of righteousness and a promise to the Tiger Village, to attract the pursuers, they were really alone, especially in the face of this overwhelming cavalry, they were still panicked.

Hey, today's struggle, just for the previous bragging!

"Childe, let's go!" The red carp took the lead in speaking and beat the horse, Long Duan'er saw Liu Tong in a daze, whipped Liu Tong on the buttocks, and ran fast with himself.

The three of them were not familiar with the terrain and the road ahead, so Liu informed the way to identify the direction, looked at the terrain and the direction of the sun, and then went all the way to the southeast.

Liu Tong is no longer ashamed, he seems to have figured out the reason for his "timidity", although he is strong in martial arts, it may be that he has been alone recently, constantly injured, and lost his psychological advantage, or it may be that the weakness of the red carp has affected him, whatever, Liu Tong abandoned the messy thoughts.

Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Liu Tong rode close to the red carp, picked up the red carp, and put it in front of him. Liu Tong really couldn't stand the red carp's riding skills, and had to pretend not to see the reproachful eyes that Long Duan'er glanced at.

The three of them panicked, walked through the middle of Yiyang and Jiangxia, and headed for the Lujiang River. Liu Tong ran for a while and then changed horses, which was very hard, while Long Duan'er was very leisurely, puffing up all the way, following behind Liu Tong.

After the evening of the same day, Liu Tong finally couldn't hear the sound of horses' hooves, so he found a deserted village to settle in.

Long Duan'er saw that Liu Tong was tired, it was getting dark, and he could see at night, so he left for a while and came back with two turtledoves from the trees outside the village. Liu Tong happily took the turtledove and was about to deal with it, Long Duan'er grabbed the turtledove and threw it at the foot of the red carp, "You slave, do you still want the master to serve you?" ”

The red carp was stunned, and hurriedly picked up the turtledove to deal with it. Liu Tong had no choice but to find some hay, found a sheltered and dry corner in the ruins, and spread a thick layer of hay. Long Duan'er helped Liu Tong sit down. Long Duan'er is also a person who doesn't think seriously, and after a while, he leaned on Liu Tong's arms and felt better.

"Big brother, I miss my father and mother, and I also miss Liu Shen and Liu Mo, the people in Menghu Village are safe, let's go home." Liu Tong looked down and saw Long Duan'er closing his eyes, as if he said casually.

Liu Tong thought to himself, the ghost believes that you have been away from home for many years and are homesick.

Long Duan'er saw that Liu Tong was silent, and sat up, "The girl you spent money on, you go with her, where do we two want to go, who can stop us?" Even if it's a servant girl, I don't like her being caught between us husband and wife, affecting our relationship. ”

Long Duan'er saw that Liu Tong still didn't speak, glared at him, and lay down angrily again, sulking.

But he said that the red carp had dealt with the turtle dove, the barbecue was ready, and he was coming over, listening to Long Duan'er say this, obviously he saw himself as a burden to Liu Tong, an undesirable person, and planned to abandon himself, but he was stunned, tears flowed down instantly, and the cold wind at night invaded, and his whole body trembled.

"Duan'er, we seem to be not far from Dongwu, the world will be divided into three in the future, one is that Cao Cao is preparing to go to Yizhou, and it will definitely become a force, Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers of Dongwu occupy the southeast, if our home is in the north, stand with them. Since I'm almost in Soochow, I want to go and see what is going on. Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng went to Luoyang, your parents must know that you have nothing to do, so they won't worry, let's go back after we finish our work. ”

Liu Tong has actually been hesitating whether he should go with Long Duan'er or not. If you want to find out your life experience, you must go to the north, but if Long Duan'er really deceives herself, it will be very bad for the sheep to fall into the tiger's mouth. It stands to reason that if Long Duan'er has no intentions for herself, and she goes farther and farther, she should go back to the north separately from herself. If you still follow to Soochow, it means that things are not simple.

"Well, I listen to my eldest brother, as long as I'm with you." Long Duan'er said, hugging Liu Tong's thigh sideways, making herself lie down more comfortably, "Why is this girl of red carp so rubbing, and she hasn't done it well for half a day?" ”

Liu Tong also felt strange, so he put Long Duan'er's head on the hay and got up to find the red carp. As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a lotus leaf bag in the open space at the exit, and the green lotus leaf bag was particularly conspicuous in the moonlight.

Liu Tong picked up the lotus leaf bag and opened it, only to see that there were two half-cold roasted turtledoves inside. Liu Tong was strange and hurried to find the red carp, but saw that next to the few trees where the horses were tethered, there was a pile of ashes that were about to be extinguished, and one of the three horses was missing.

Liu informed that it was the red carp that had quietly left. Liu Tong shouted: "Red carp, red carp!" Riding a horse and galloping out, Long Duan'er heard the movement and quickly followed.

The two of them walked around the neighborhood, and they didn't see the shadow of the red carp, Liu Tong rode on a horse and looked at the endless night sky, standing blankly.

Long Duan'er pulled Liu Tong's sleeve, and when he saw that he didn't react, he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to accompany him on the side.

The two were speechless that night.

Early in the morning of the second day, the two continued to go southeast, Liu Tong estimated that the red carp would not face the pursuers to the north, she knew that she was going to the southeast, and it was estimated that she would also go southeast, and the two pursued all the way.

However, after Cao Hong and Wei Yan tracked down, they saw that they had lost the traces of the team, and felt that there was no need to track down a few thieves and delay their major affairs, so they returned.

Because of Cao Hong's appreciation, Wei Yan defected to Cao Cao and followed Cao Hong to Yizhou, after Wei Yan arrived, he was deeply appreciated by Cao Cao, and was immediately promoted to Yamen general, and Huang Zhong, who defected to Cao Cao soon after, made great contributions in the war to seize Yizhou, and later became Cao Cao's generals.

The red carp, on the other hand, rode aimlessly on horseback, but later had an adventure.

After the red carp walked for more than ten days, he gradually regretted it, Long Duan'er's words did hurt himself, but this was not what Liu Tong meant, Liu Tong still consistently treated himself.

The red carp didn't want to go back to find them, and he didn't have the ability to find them again, he had never traveled far alone, and when he calmed down, he looked around at this strange world and found that he was scared, but fortunately he had a lot of money and things on his body, and he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking. It's just that the road ahead is vast, and I don't know where to go.

In the early hours of one morning, the red carp came to a river, and was about to look for a bridge to cross the river, when he saw an old man standing by the river in a daze.

The red carp thought that the old man was going to throw himself into the river, so he hurriedly beat the horse over, the red carp dismounted, stepped forward to hold the old man, and was about to open his mouth to persuade, but saw the old man holding a thin bamboo pole in his hand, and muttered in his mouth: "Fish, fish, I don't catch you, I'm hungry, I caught you, and it's for myself, for myself, for myself, I can't do it for myself." The old man kept repeating himself.

The red carp saw that the old man was speechless, it was very strange, and he looked at the old man carefully, and saw that the old man was over seventy years old, his face was old, but his hair was still blue, his clothes were neat, his hair was peculiar, and he was standing by the river, and his cloth shoes had been soaked in water and stuck with sludge.

"Grandpa, your shoes are dirty."

As he spoke, he pulled the old man back and helped him sit down, the old man was still chattering, the red carp had to press his shoulders hard, and the old man sat on the stones by the river. Seeing that the old man's clothes were a little damp, the red carp started a fire, and the red carp helped the old man take off his shoes and socks, clean them by the river, and then go to the fire to bake.

"Grandpa, are you hungry? Craving fish? ”

When the old man heard the fish, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he withered again, "I can't catch fish for myself, catching fish is for myself, I can't do it for myself, I just killed my senior brother for myself, and killed my senior brother for myself." ”

The red carp didn't know why, but he knew that the old man wanted to eat fish, so he put the old man's shoes and socks by the fire, took off his shoes and socks, and took a bamboo pole to the river.

There were indeed fish jumping on the grass side of the river where the old man was standing just now, probably during the season of seed production, and the fish stepped aside. The red carp may have been lucky, or perhaps it was experienced, and after a while, it really stabbed two saurys.

The red carp cleaned the fish, threaded it with a thin bamboo pole, roasted it on the fire, and handed it to the old man. The old man was noncommittal, picked it up, and was still chanting stupidly: "For yourself, it's all for yourself......"

The old man quickly ate the two fish under the urging of the red carp, and after the old man finished eating the fish, he seemed to be sober a lot, and looked at the red carp, "There are two fish, both of which you get, why not eat yourself, why not divide them?" ”

Seeing that the old man suddenly changed his tone, the red carp didn't quite understand what the old man meant, but seeing that the old man's eyes were no longer confused, he was also happy, smiled, and picked up the old man's shoes and socks and baked them.

Seeing that the red carp did not answer, the old man said to himself: "A woman takes a fish, but she is not for herself." ”

The red carp helped the old man put on his shoes and socks, "Grandpa, let's go home, where do you live?" ”

After hearing this, the old man seemed to be preparing a reply, and then said: "I am the third child of Yuelu, and I am the third child of Yuelu." ”

The red carp continued to ask, never understanding where the old man lived. The red carp estimated that the old man was confused, so he had to take the old man to a nearby village to ask to see if anyone recognized, the red carp led the horse and pulled the old man to several villages, but most of the day was fruitless, and no one knew the old man, so he had to take the old man to a nearby city to stay.
