Chapter 323 The water is good

With Zhang Fei followed the woodcutter into the city, he walked a lot of roads, pedestrians came and went along the way, different clothes, carriages and ox carts ran by from time to time, Liu Zheng guessed that there might be eyeliner from various forces among these people, and when he entered a quiet alley, he saw a house in the courtyard, a large mulberry tree of some years was more than two zhang high, and it was full of black mulberry fruits, looking like that, like the miniature version of Lousang Village in the past.

Looking over from the door, you can see that next to the mulberry tree in the door, there is an old man in plain clothes holding a ladder, next to the ladder standing two young people are holding a tray of utensils, looking up and saying something, above the ladder, a man in Luo Yi and pants threw the mulberry fruit into the bowl, while moving his lips and smiling and saying something, noticed that after Liu Zheng and the three of them entered the door, he beckoned, went down the ladder, put the porcelain bowl on the tray, took the square handkerchief from the old man's hand and wiped it, and said with a smile: "It's coming." ”

That man is Liu Bei, his spirit is much calmer than when he was too punctual in Zhuojun in the past, he is lofty, his smile is the same as the light, and he can't see the slightest hostility, Liu Zheng also has to sigh, compared to the frivolous appearance of the henchfighting lackeys in his memory, and the vicious words outside the Guangzong camp that day, Liu Bei at this time is already as he promised to do outside the Guangzong camp in the past, his heart is extremely deep, and his joy and anger are not visible at all.

Thinking that it was the experience of the past few years that tempered Liu Bei, Liu Zheng looked at the valuable tortoiseshell embroidered Luo Yi on Liu Bei's body, thinking about the trajectory that the other party should have, his mind was complicated, and then he smiled indifferently and said: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are more and more surprised to me, if it weren't for this face, I still recognize it, and I thought that the disciples of a family of scripture who were not born were born and practiced." ”

"Hehe, why do you and I have to do all this red tape, be casual. However, this is true, this year as a brother has experienced a lot in the court, sometimes thinking about it, I also feel like a different person. Ada, bring the mat out, and bring me the straw sandals I didn't finish weaving. I haven't seen Deran for a long time, so I'm chatting under this mulberry tree. Oh, make some ice in the ice book, mix some mulberry fruits and apricots, and bring me the cold pear soup I used to make. ”

In the expressions of the two young people who wanted to speak and stopped, Liu Bei asked the old man to send a woodcutter, and held up Liu Zheng's hands without any defense, and Zhang Fei also arched his hand to say hello, Liu Bei looked enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Yide doesn't need to be polite, feel free, if you can't stand the heat, you can also go to sit inside with Ada and Guo Ning to sit by Bingjian and chat and get to know each other." By the way, De Ranke remembers, who is this person? ”

In Liu Bei's introduction, the old man who went and returned stepped forward with a smile and arched his hand, saying something like "Little old man is polite", Liu Zheng looked at it for a moment and shook his head, "Forgive Liu for being rude, I really don't remember it." While asking Zhang Fei to follow the two young men over to helpβ€”in fact, he also asked Zhang Fei to see if there was an ambush. Moreover, Liu Bei had just sent Zhang Fei into the ward to sit inside, which seemed random, but it sounded like there were always a few branches opening Zhang Fei inside.

"Haha! I'll just say, it's just that Liu has always been obsessed with you, Deran was still young at that time, how could he remember you? ”

Liu Bei said, waved his hand at the old man and said, "Come on, come on, I'll wait for a show, let Deran try to think about it." ”

In Liu Zheng's puzzled gaze, the old man walked to the door with a smile, and Liu Bei looked up at the mulberry tree, and said with a light smile: "I must sit in this Baogai car!" ”

The tone is sonorous, the mulberry tree is stained with rain and dew in the sun, the leaves are swaying and shining in the warm wind, and the light spots are scattered, Liu Bei's face is flickering and dark, obviously extremely indifferent and calm, with the black Luo Yi and pants, but he has an indescribable temperament, and the Yuanyu Yuezhi is also like.

At the same time, the old man suddenly frowned and raised his head, looked at the big mulberry tree for a moment, then looked at the house, and then looked at Liu Bei, "This family will come out of the ......" The words suddenly stopped abruptly when he looked at Liu Zheng, and then his expression became solemn, and after a while, the old man seemed to be a little puzzled, Liu Zheng had already reacted, "You are Li Ding?" ”

"Oh? Deran still remembers him? ”

Liu Bei secretly threw a look at Li Ding, who was a little distracted, Liu Zheng looked at Li Ding, who was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "How can you forget?" Isn't my mother's surname Li, and in the past, my brother often took it out and told me that I hadn't forgotten it. And daddy...... He also often talked about this matter, and then was counted out by his mother, and the Li family did not have such a nonsense person as the old man. Haha, uncle, Liu made amends for my mother, it's rude. ”

"It doesn't matter. The little old man has traveled all over the place in the past, and he can't get home with his skills, but it is not less scolding. It is normal for people to make the hall like this. Li Ding said, looking at Liu Zheng a few times as if he was looking at him blankly, while helping Zhang Fei, who was going out, and the two young people put the straw mat and small table together.

Liu Bei pulled Liu Zheng to sit on the straw mat casually, filled two bowls of pear soup from a small jar, stirred the spoon and drank it first, and said with a smile: "You taste it, Changshan Zhending's pear is a must-have among pears, with ice, it doesn't use other condiments, it is sweet and delicious, and it is really a good product to cool off." You can't eat well outside the city, so when you come to Brother Wei, feel free. There was nothing to do outside the city, so you stayed here for dinner. If possible, live in peace. ”

Looking at Zhang Fei and shaking his head slightly to indicate that there was no ambush, Liu Zheng also took a sip of pear soup, and then looked at Zhang Fei being invited in by Li Ding and the others, and smiled, "Brother is worried, I have a few friends in Zhending, they grow dates and pears over there, and they will give me some in the past." is used to simplicity in terms of eating and drinking, after all, there are a large number of brothers under him, I don't save a little, and I don't have to live a life. What's more, it's about Ke Bineng, and the situation is quite special, so I stayed outside the city. ”

To be honest, the pear soup is delicious, and Liu Zheng also felt that the pears and dates were very good in the past, but after all, he saw a lot of food in his previous life, and no matter how delicious things were in this year, he tasted them a few times, but he would think of the days in his previous life when he was mediocre but had fast logistics and diverse things, so he was not too picky about what he ate - anyway, it was not as good as in his previous life.

Liu Zheng's words, in fact, were also straightforward, wanting to understand Liu Bei's intention of this meeting, thinking that Liu Bei would definitely understand, but Liu Bei was also calm, looking at the backs of Zhang Fei and the four people who were about to enter the door, and chuckled: "A really sure pear must be a good pear?" Not necessarily. Even the pears on the same tree are good and bad, not to mention that they must be so big. Cooked for my brother, but it's really the best pear. That piece of mountain, but it was not really used by the people, it was bought by the Zhongshan people. Also, the dates should be the best in Liangzhou, and my Zhongshan friend also has some fields there. ”

He leaned against the tree, took the draft shoes and skillfully knitted them, and Zhang Fei and the others who were sitting in the hall looked over, as if they felt that Liu Bei's movements were extremely incompatible with a suit of Luo clothes and trousers, but Liu Bei and Liu Zheng were not abrupt about this scene.

Liu Bei drank another spoonful of chilled pear soup and said with a smile: "Recently, it has also been time for dates to ripen, I will ask someone to go there another day to ask for some and send them to you to ...... Youzhou is too far away, why don't you send it to the south of Ruoyang City? Don't you also have friends there, I heard that you are going to be the general of the tiger ben, and you just went over to get it. ”

Liu Zheng felt a pang in his heart, these few words are really intriguing.

He laughed quietly, "Brother said that you tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo, fled to Bohai, and took refuge in Yuan Benchu, this journey has also gone through a lot of hardships. Foolish brother is not talented, but he is not an unreasonable person, Dong Zhuo is in trouble, like a pig and a dog, if I really take refuge in Dong Zhuo, how is it different from a beast? ”

Liu Bei made a movement in his hand, and then continued to weave, one straw shoe was originally woven, and the one in his hand was also quickly formed, he handed the two straw sandals to Liu Zheng, "Try it." ”

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, took the straw sandals, replaced his somewhat worn linen shoes, tried the straw sandals, just fitted, and was slightly stunned, realizing that Liu Bei should have been weaving this pair of straw shoes a few days earlier, and I don't know how, obviously he was not cordial with Liu Bei, and there was still a warmth surging in his heart, "Brother hasn't forgotten my size." ”

"How could you forget...... What is the relationship between you and me? Can a dispute be easily resolved? ”

The tone was suddenly embarrassed, Liu Bei hugged the back of his head with his hands, leaned on the mulberry tree, looked up at the mulberry leaves, and looked confused in the warm wind, "I'll wait...... It's been a long time since you've sat down like this and talked, right? ”

Liu Zheng couldn't guess Liu Bei's intentions, but he also flipped through his memory, "It's been six or seven years." Since you made a bunch of fox friends, I haven't talked like this since I waited. Even if you sit together as you do today, your mind is not on your mind. This is the first time in years. ”

"Fox Friends and Dog Friends...... The word is good. Alas, after all, they didn't rely on them, and many people no longer interact...... Some of them can't come and go, and it will take a hundred years to do it...... Hehe, Lousang Village, Zhang Ke's good deeds. If he hadn't gone to Yizhou when he found out, I would have cut him with a thousand knives to avenge a few 'fox friends and dog friends'. ”

Liu Zheng's heart moved, but he couldn't guess whether Liu Bei was just talking, so he saw Liu Bei looking intently at the mulberry tree above his head, and his smile was slightly deep, "Do you know that I bought this yard half a month ago." It is important that there is a big mulberry tree in this yard...... Seeing things and thinking about people is only a small part of the reason, that is, I feel that I have not felt like I have lived anywhere in the past few years, as if I have no fixed place. When I came to Jixian County, I suddenly wanted to have a home, but I didn't live permanently, at least I had it. ”

He looked at a few rooms, "This place is not big, I plan to tear down the house and rebuild it." Just build it like your house, you see, do you want to leave a yard for you and your two siblings? Enough places. Moreover, you always live in Yide's house, it's not a way, let's have to have a place of our own. ”

"Then you should go to Zhuo County. Jixian is the state capital, but as far as we are concerned, it is not as good as Zhuo County after all, right? Why not go back there? That's where it's reassuring. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Can you go back? I'm talking about Lousang Village, do you dare to go back and face those unjust souls? That place can't be inhabited, how is staying in other parts of Zhuo County different from being outcast? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"It's to go to Zhangjiazhuang...... In the past two years, I have actually been uneasy because I failed to keep filial piety to my uncle. And the longer the time passes, the more I feel that I can't go back, and I don't dare to go back...... Don't complain about your brother and suddenly say this. There are some things, since you and I have not been openly told to others, let others know that you and I are evil, there is still room for salvation...... Right? In fact, I occasionally wonder what I have made you dissatisfied, it is worth your knife, and I want Yide to humiliate me like that...... Isn't it, I really didn't have much interest at the time, and I still have those empty thoughts in my mouth every day, which makes you complain? Or are you ......"

Liu Bei suddenly "hissed", looked Liu Zheng up and down several times, and his expression really looked like he had chatted a few years ago, without any sense of distraction, "Woman? Do you particularly like women? Now there are two siblings...... I heard that Miss Zou over there in Luoyang is also related to you. I saw that girl once in Wang Yun's mansion, she followed Feng'er's team over, and I was pitiful in that dress, and her appearance was indeed there. And the girl seemed to have some ability, and she could not let the men touch her without a trace...... Ha, that's a long way off. Is it that in the past, you had typhoid fever, and your uncle said that the family matter gave you joy, and then pushed away the matter in order to pay off my debts, and made you complain about me? ”

Liu Zheng didn't know what to say, and after a while, Liu Bei suddenly reached out and put his hand on his shoulder, and shook it vigorously, "Brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes...... That's what I've told you before, right? I just can't remember. The friendship between you and my brother is the most important thing. ”

He smiled, and his eyes suddenly looked southwest, "Since you didn't really kill me, I can have this experience, and you can be regarded as fulfilled." In the future, you and I will continue to work hand in hand, regardless of our past suspicions, and strive to let you and me settle down in Luoyang again, how about it? That's our real home! ”

Liu Zheng looked at the straw shoes and mulberry fruits, chewed the meaning of Liu Bei's words, handed the porcelain bowl with apricots, mulberry fruits, and ice to Liu Bei, took a bite of an apricot, felt the sweetness and sourness, and frowned slightly: "Do you really want to take the canopy car?" Glory to the ancestors, back to the throne of princes? ”

"I've been to the temple in Luoyang, and there is no place for the ancestors...... He is leaving, and the seedlings of his grass are ......"

Liu Zheng interrupted: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want." Who is this...... The poem is separated from Wang Feng, or the latter sentence expresses his heart directly. It's just that the public didn't cross the river, but the public crossed the river......"

"Heh, you told me not to cross the river, so what are you doing here?"

Liu Bei asked with a smile, his eyes with a strange light, scorching.

Liu Zheng smiled, "Because you just want to cross the river and see the scenery over there." And I swam over, and found that the water needed me more, and I wanted to control the water, and I wanted to see no river overflow wherever I passed. ”

"Haha, you and I went to the river to play when we were young, and we were flooded, right? After that, I was afraid to die. What, learned to swim? Is water-based good? Don't talk about the water, don't forget that four years ago, you almost drowned in the water, aren't you afraid? ”

Liu Zheng looked over, under the sun, smiled kindly and gently: "Then you are wrong." I grew up by the sea, so how could I be afraid of swimming? I'm very water-oriented. ”
