Chapter 0039 Antecedents and Consequences
The night gradually enveloped the whole village, and the villagers who had worked hard all day also began to enter their cave rooms, and the village square began to become quiet.
Su Tianhua's home is in the cave opposite the Zhaizi Square, the cave is like a house, there is a living room in the middle, and there are two small caves on both sides, which should be the place to live, all covered with coarse cloth curtains.
Liu Chan and the others sat in the hall, Su Tianhua and his wife smiled and brought the meal on the table, next to Xiao An sat on Zhang Yingying's lap and played with her, seeing his father and mother bring the fragrant meal, staring at the food on the table with big eyes, but they just watched, and did not do it first.
Su Tianhua's wife is a woman who doesn't like to talk, she is always busy at the table, but her eyes are full of tenderness when she sees Xiao An. But when he saw that Xiao An wanted to eat the food on the table, he would still frown and stare at Xiao An with a slight reproach, Xiao An hurriedly shrank his head at this time, and leaned in front of Zhang Yingying again.
Liu Chan and the others present looked at Xiao An's careful appearance, laughed, or Zhang Yingying was more fond of Xiao An, picked up the rice bowl on the table and helped Xiao An serve a bowl first, Xiao An looked at his mother, his mother shook her head helplessly, and then she ate happily.
"Lao Su, don't be busy, it's all your own people, just bring the wine." Zhang Bao waited for a long time and saw that Su Tianhua was still busy in the back room, and couldn't help shouting.
After a while, Su Tianhua walked over with a smile with a freshly made side dish in one hand and a wine jar in the other, slowly put the dish on the table, and then pushed the wine jar in front of Zhang Bao, looked at the food on the table and said with a smile: "Okay, the dishes are all ready, coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it." β
Liu Chan hurriedly said politely, and called Xiao An's mother, who was still in the back room, who didn't plan to sit at the table, to sit over.
There weren't too many rules for everyone sitting around the stone table in the living room.
Zhang Bao had already opened the wine jar and filled the big bowl in front of everyone with wine, but Zhang Yingying lowered her head this time and glanced at the smiling Liu Chan, and refused the wine jar stretched out by her eldest brother, Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment and smiled and did not force her to drink.
After a few glasses of wine, Su Tianhua told everyone the story of their seclusion here, and everyone slowly tasted the wine, even the grinning Zhang Bao drank quietly without saying a word.
Everyone listened quietly, only the oil lamp on the table shook gently on the stone table, flickering and flickering.
It turned out that they were all residents near Hanzhong, when the Hanzhong War, they ran to the mountains in order to avoid the war, and Su Tianhua also took his wife and Xiao An, who had just been weaned, to the mountains, and at first they didn't know that there was such a treasure on Luoyan Mountain, and they also walked here by mistake.
There was a group of big apes living here, Su Tianhua led the villagers to drive the big apes to the opposite mountain, and then they put tall wooden stakes around them, one is to prevent the big apes from sneaking up, and then there is a cliff on the edge of here, in order to avoid accidents for the villagers.
When I first came here, it was relatively desolate, so Su Tianhua and Su Tianpeng occasionally went down the mountain to find some food or bring some fleeing villagers, and the village slowly formed its current scale.
In the past two years, since the Han State occupied Hanzhong, the Wei side has also quieted down, and the war has stopped, but the villagers are used to living here, and they are not willing to go down the mountain, who knows when the fight will start again.
Later, I started to grow crops here, but fortunately, the mountain peaks next to it were not as high as the geese, so the sun could shine through, and the crops that passed through the sun also grew well. In the end, everyone really settled here.
The cave where they live now is also the cave of those great apes, and then it was slowly renovated and became the house they live in now.
Everyone listened to Su Tianhua's story, and they all sighed that they could find this pure land in the troubled times, and it can also be said that it is a blessing from heaven.
As for why Zhang Bao and Guan Ping are here, it turns out that although food can be grown here, the usual daily necessities cannot be replenished, seeing that it is almost autumn, it is not convenient to go down the mountain when it is cold, so at this time every year, Su Tianhua takes the villagers down the mountain to get food for some other daily necessities.
And Zhang Bao and Guan Ping were originally ordered by the prime minister to come to protect Liu Chan, but the two didn't stay in Mianzhen, so they didn't meet Liu Chan, and the two went all the way directly to Hanzhong.
Seeing that Liu Chan could not be found in Hanzhong, the two of them were very anxious, and the two of them, who were originally ordered by the prime minister to secretly protect Liu Chan, did not dare to go to Wei Yan's mansion.
So the two of them, who had been wandering around Hanzhong City all day looking for Liu Chan, found Su Tianhua and the villagers hurrying out of the city with many daily necessities.
Zhang Bao, who loves to fight and hug, regarded everyone as robbers, thinking that since he couldn't find Liu Chan to catch a group of robbers, he would also relieve his anger, although Guan Ping tried his best to dissuade him, but how could Zhang Bao, who was stubborn, listen to the persuasion of others, Guan Ping had no choice but to follow Zhang Bao and follow Su Tianhua and the others.
As soon as Su Tianhua and the others came out of the city, they also found Zhang Bao and Guan Ping, who had been sneakily following them.
Su Tianhua didn't know what the two of them were doing, he was very cautious, and then walked to the foot of the mountain to see that the two of them were still coming, looking at the dozen or so villagers on his side, and then looking at the other party, he was not afraid of them, and planned to stop Zhang Bao and Guan Ping to ask what was going on.
I don't know that Zhang Bao came up and didn't even say a word and beat him directly, where did the villagers go through such a thing, but many of them slowly surrounded Zhang Bao's Guan Ping.
Not only is Zhang Bao a good fighter, but even the silent Guan Ping is particularly ruthless in his punches, Su Tianhua and all the villagers are crop men, how can they withstand such a toss, they are completely panicked.
Since you can't beat it, then beg for mercy, and after saying good things, Zhang Bao stopped under Guan Ping's pull.
But when everyone said that they were villagers who lived in the mountains and fled, Zhang Bao and Guan Ping naturally didn't believe it when they looked at such a steep Luoyan Mountain, so Su Tianhua had no choice but to take the two of them to the village to see what was going on.
As soon as I reached the stockade, I saw the villagers standing with wooden sticks in front of the fence stakes on the south side of the square, and beyond that there was a road leading to another mountain, which was now surrounded by a high fence.
It turns out that at this time of year, the great apes seem to feel cold and want to go back to the cave, and wander on the summit of the opposite mountain every day. The villagers had no choice but to bring wooden sticks to drive away the great apes.
Unexpectedly, there are a lot of big apes this year, and they are still in groups, and the villagers have to put down their farm work in the field first and strictly guard the village.
When Su Tianhua came with Zhang Bao and Guan Ping, the big ape was preparing to attack the stockade, and Zhang Bao, who loved to fight unevenly, took Guan Ping to join the battle of the anti-Japanese war against the big ape.
Zhang Bao's huge body naturally became the main force in the village, and under the resistance of the villagers, the big ape finally patted his chest and roared a few times, and retreated unwillingly.
After the big ape retreated, the villagers were also very grateful to Zhang Bao and Guan Ping, and the villagers were worried that the big ape would come again, so Su Tianhua asked Zhang Bao and Guan Ping to stay.
Knowing that they were a group of simple villagers and not robbers, and the two of them couldn't find Liu Chan for so long, the two wanted to wait until they finished helping the villagers to defend the village before going back to ask the prime minister for guilt, so they stayed.
It's just that Zhang Bao has a habit of drinking, and the wine in the village made him drink it up in a few days, so Su Tianhua had no choice but to take the two of them to buy wine at the bottom of the mountain.
On this day, Zhang Bao and the villagers went down the mountain to buy wine, and just after walking to the Junlai Hotel, they met Zhang Yingying, who sneaked out to drink, and Zhang Bao was overjoyed.
Later, I heard Zhang Bao say that they lived in the mountains, and the curious Zhang Yingying begged her eldest brother to take her to the village.
And then something happened when Liu Chan found him.
Listening to everyone's words, Liu Chan also sighed.
Step by step acquaintances and encounters, there were so many coincidences, like a bizarre story, but now everyone finally met, and they sat together and drank wine, sighing and feeling happy at the same time.
Dinner ended warmly with everyone's conversation.
After dinner, Xiao An fell asleep in his mother's arms as early as everyone was talking.
Su Tianhua helped Liu Chan and the others clean up the cave where they lived, and went back to rest, and when they left, they didn't forget to tell everyone not to go to the opposite mountain, so as not to run into the big ape, and everyone nodded cautiously and responded.
Liu Chan stood at the entrance of the cave that Su Tianhua had just cleaned up, looking up at the stars in the sky, it should be the reason for the high mountain, the stars have become brighter, and then look at the bonfire that has been burned out in the square, it must be that the villagers have gone back to sleep after chatting, and the surroundings are also quiet, only the flickering lights in the caves are flickering.
"Brother Adou, haven't you slept yet?" Zhang Yingying walked lightly from the cave next to her and quietly shouted at Liu Chan, who was standing in front.
Liu Chan saw that Zhang Yingying was coming, and said gently: "What? You don't go to sleep yet. β
"I'm not sleepy yet." Zhang Yingying shook her head gently, then her eyes flashed, she pulled up Liu Chan's sleeve and said happily: "Brother Adou, come here, I'll take you to see the fun!" β
Liu Chan was inexplicably dragged by Zhang Yingying to the mountain peak south of the village, Liu Chan hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yingying and said carefully: "Where are you going?" Didn't Brother Su say it just now, there is a big ape over there. It's too dangerous, let's go back! β
Zhang Yingying hurriedly stretched out her hand to Liu Chan and made a small gesture, and then said mysteriously to Liu Chan: "The big apes are also sleeping, it's okay if we don't go inside, come with me!" After speaking, they pulled Liu Chan again, and the two of them secretly walked towards the southern peak.
There was a small wooden door on the side of the fence wall in the south, and the two of them quietly opened the small wooden door like thieves.
It turned out that they were not connected to the mountain peaks in the south, but the cliff where the village was located stretched directly to the opposite peak, just like a bridge between the two peaks, with dark mountain streams on both sides, but the overpass was very wide, like the paths on both sides of the fields in the village when they came, and it was okay to walk in line with five or six people. It's just that there are dark mountain streams on both sides, and I always feel very narrow.
Zhang Yingying pulled Liu Chan to sit down on the edge of the overpass, and through the mountain stream, she could see the Hanzhong Plain of the Wei Kingdom, and there were faint lights flickering about 10,000 homes.
"Brother Adou, look so beautiful over there! Is that our enemy, the Wei State? Zhang Yingying pointed to the lights of Wanjia in front of her and couldn't help asking.
Liu Chan sat next to Zhang Yingying and nodded slightly.
"Brother Adou, then you said that Wei is so beautiful, why do you want to fight with us! Wouldn't it be nice to have so many people die every time we fight? β
Liu Chan didn't speak, looked at the naΓ―ve Zhang Yingying, and couldn't help but gently hold her in his arms.
Zhang Yingying seemed to like Liu Chan holding herself like this, and gently leaned her head in front of Liu Chan, Liu Chan gently stroked Zhang Yingying's hair and whispered: "Do you know what my father said to me before he died?" β
Zhang Yingying leaned on Liu Chan's arms and shook her head quietly, "My mother said, your men's affairs are all big things, and we as women must support us, Brother Adou, no matter what your father told you and what you want to do, Yingying will support you!" β
Liu Chan's heart warmed, hugged Zhang Yingying tightly, and whispered in her ear: "My father asked me to fulfill his last wish and unify the Han family." I have to do it too, because if I don't do this, when the Han Kingdom is destroyed, not only me, but even you will become a prisoner of the Wu State or the Wei State, and live a life that is worse than death! β
Zhang Yingying didn't speak, just leaned tightly into Liu Chan's arms, thinking in her heart that even if she became a prisoner, Yingying would have to be with Brother Adou.
Looking at Zhang Yingying, who seemed to be asleep in his arms, Liu Chan didn't speak again, but calmly looked at the lights of the Wei Kingdom in front of him through the mountain stream, and sharp lights flashed in his eyes from time to time.
