"It's too early to tell, I believe it's man-made!" Baili Liang said, "Although the king of Northern Xinjiang has a strong army, but he is too ruthless, suspicious and heavy, and also competes with his subordinates, he can't gather talents, although your countries are very close to Tuzhou, but the customs are very different from the northerners, I think it is more suitable to develop in the southeast, even if you take the northwest, you can't keep it, if you really want to get it, you might as well gain a firm foothold in the southeast first." ”

"High Theory! The eldest brother has the same meaning as you," the little king clapped his hands, and the eldest brother he said was not the big king but Zu Xiu, and then said regretfully, "It's a pity that the second brother refuses to go back with me." ”

When the two were talking, Xiaorou put a few paintings in the coffins of the two mothers-in-law, she stopped crying, gritted her teeth and looked at the old man, then went into the house to pack up her things, and soon finished the package and walked out, silently holding Baili Liang's hand.

The tomb was piled up, Baili Liang found two wooden boards engraved with the names of the two old men as tombstones to stand in front of the tomb, kowtowed a few heads with Xiao Rou, got up and said to Xiao Lie: "I'm leaving, the green mountains don't change the green water, take care of each other!" ”

The little king did not force it anymore, let his subordinates get out of the way, brought the horses of Baili Liang, and let the two of them go.

"Xiaorou, cry if you want to cry, my brother is not an outsider!" It is far away from Baicao Village, and Baili Liang slows down the horse's speed.

Xiao Rou seemed to have been drained of all her strength, slumped in Baili Liang's arms, and muttered, "Brother, I'm so sleepy and want to sleep." ”

"Xiaorou, you haven't closed your eyes since last night?"

"Well, I'm just waiting for my brother to come to me, and if my brother doesn't come, I don't dare to sleep."

Baili Liang's heart was cramping, such a young child hid in the cellar alone in fear, how did she survive!

"Xiao Rou......" Baili Liang choked, "If you want to sleep, you can sleep, with my brother here, I'm not afraid." ”

"Uh-huh......" Xiao Rou answered softly, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Baili Liang rode a horse all the way, looking at the scenery on the side of the road all the way, when he drove the ox cart into the city with the two mothers-in-law and Xiaorou, how happy he was on the road, but in a blink of an eye, things were wrong, people were gone, and the road was still a road scene or a scene.

A person's life is like an ant in the eyes of another kind, and he kills people with a knife for a meal of beef, and he is born as a human being, how difficult and ridiculous it is. Baili Liang once again felt great helplessness and helplessness.

After entering the city, Baili Liang returned the horse and went to Zhu Meiyuan's house with Xiaorou in his arms. From afar, he saw Zhu Meiyuan leaning on the door of the house and looking left and right, holding a little boy who could just walk in his hand, when he saw Baili Liang holding Xiaorou over, she left the boy and stumbled forward all the way, panicking: "What's wrong with Xiaorou, Xiaorou is injured?" ”

"Sister-in-law......, Xiaorou is fine, she is asleep." Baili Liang handed Xiao Rou into Zhu Meiyuan's hands.

"It's okay, it scares me to death." Zhu Meiyuan hugged her daughter tightly and asked, "What about the two mothers-in-law, why didn't they come together?" ”

Baili Liang's mouth opened, and he looked up a few times before he spoke: "Second elder...... They're all dead! ”

Zhu Meiyuan's body shook, tears flowed down her eyes, and she glanced at the daughter in her arms again: "I left Xiaorou by the side of the second elder, but I was afraid that the two mothers-in-law would be lonely, and it would be sad to live in this troubled world!" Xiaobai, thank you for bringing Xiaorou back. ”

"Don't thank me, Xiaorou didn't sleep all night last night, and she was frightened a lot. Sister-in-law, I still have something to do, let's go first, if you need it, just come to the Red Mansion to find me! ”

Baili Liang said goodbye to Zhu Meiyuan and rushed back to Long Fei's yard.

A pair of high-quality coffins have been parked in Long Fei's hall, and there are a lot of paper horses, paper money, and incense candles, and Zhu Meiyuan has done everything.

Xun Lei and Sun Yan Niu Xin also came, helped wipe Long Fei's body, changed clothes, and put them in the coffin.

"Where's Xu Xiang?" Baili Liang asked.

"I was tired of crying, I fell asleep in the back room, and I refused to go back to our yard no matter how much I persuaded him, saying that I would keep a wake for the old man." Xun Lei said.

"Let it be." Baili Liang asked Sun Yan to prepare the meal, since he was still alive, he should live with all his might, and sadness could not change any established facts.

There was nothing to do for a while, Baili Liang went to pack up Long Fei's relics, except for some books, just a few daily clothes, scattered and piled up, although they were of little value, they were also a nostalgia for Long Fei's family.

"What about Shen Du?" Baili Liang asked, Shen Du was careful, he should have packed these things a long time ago.

Xun Lei said: "I was called by the gang leader, and I haven't seen anyone back in the afternoon, this kid usually doesn't invite the gang leader to see...... Sixth Hall Master, do you think Shen Du, this kid has deceived Long Fei's crossbow making method? ”

Baili Liang said: "No, there is probably a shortage of manpower in the help, the helper will give him a new task, Shen Du is different from the past, he has been with the old man for so long, he has learned a lot of good things, and it is more than enough to be a small military teacher!" ”

While the two were talking, Sun Yan ran in in a panic.

"Sun Daguan, where are the food and drinks?" Xun Lei said, Sun Yan became a small leader, and Xun Lei kept jokingly calling him Sun Daguan.

"It's still a fart, our Red Mansion is surrounded by the Tuzhou Army! Damn, a bunch of grandsons who don't talk much! Sun Yan airway.

Baili Liang was taken aback: "You say slowly, what's going on?" ”

Sun Yan said: "Before, our gang leader agreed with the city lord that as long as Tuzhou City is defended, all the spoils will belong to our Hong Gang. There was a junior general named Ding Heng in the Tuzhou military camp, who took the lead and was dissatisfied, and the people below shouted together, and even the city lord couldn't stop it, this matter was troublesome! ”

"Let's go, let's see!" Baili Liang asked Xun Lei Niu Xin to stay, and he followed Sun Yan to the front yard gate.

Outside the courtyard wall, the Tuzhou soldiers were all furious, holding sharp blades in their hands, shouting for the Hong Gang to hand over the spoils and get out of Tuzhou City.

"Is it because our brothers died more, or did the Hong Gang die more? Why! Someone shouted.

"Yes, why, come here to rub our things, with ill intentions!"

"Gang get out!"

"Get out of here!"

……

One of the young generals who took the lead saw that Xu Hai had not been out for a long time, and said irritably: "Give you time to help Hongbang a pillar of incense, and if you don't hand over your things and get out, don't blame our brothers for being polite!" ”

Baili Liang was puzzled and asked Sun Yan: "What about the helper?" ”

"Talk to that kid Shen Du, let us wait."

"Where's Madame?"

"Madame is with the helper, and let us wait, saying that there is no hurry. …… It's all burning eyebrows, so there's no hurry! ”

After another half a pillar of incense, Xu Hai's figure was still missing, and the people outside the courtyard began to smash the door and smash the courtyard wall, and the two big foxes at the gate of the courtyard were smashed into a pile of stones in the blink of an eye.

"Can't wait!" Baili Liang was turning around to look for Xu Hai, but saw Xu Hai walking towards him with a red orange with a spring breeze on his face.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Xu Haidao: "We don't want the loot, we don't want it, return it all!" As for letting us help go...... Ladies and gentlemen, can we be accommodating and allow us to leave tomorrow morning at dawn? ”

"No! Get out now, long nights and dreams! ”

"yes, get out of here!"

Hongcheng became angry and said angrily: "Don't push people too much! If you don't drive people sooner rather than later, you will come out to drive people after Tuzhou guards, do you still have a conscience? ”

"What's wrong with pushing people too much? Get lost! ”

"Get out!"

The clamor continued.

Hongcheng still had to argue with reason, but was stopped by Xu Hai, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you really can!" This is to unload the mill and kill the donkey, I can be regarded as knowledgeable! Let's go! Tuzhou City, I'm phew! ”

Xu Hai immediately ordered to leave Tuzhou in simple disguise and withdraw within half an hour.

Baili Liang hurriedly went to clean up, but fortunately, there were not many things, so he simply made a package, and asked people to pull a car, load Long Fei's coffin and go out of the city.

Outside the city of Tuzhou, the sun has already set, and the bodies of the fallen soldiers have not been cleaned up during the day, and the left and right are horizontal on the road.

Baili Liang patted Long Fei's coffin, and said in his heart, the old man is also lucky, and he can still have a coffin to lie down.

"My sister has no conscience, I hate her!" Xu Xiang rode on Xun Lei's shoulder and slapped Xun Lei's head angrily.

Xun Lei said innocently: "Little master, you have no conscience, you still beat me while riding me!" ”

"Yes, you brothers and sisters have no conscience!" Sun Yan said hatefully, "If you don't fulfill your promise, you won't come out to say a word when you see us being driven away, the eldest lady is too disappointed with us!" ”

Baili Liang said: "The eldest lady has her difficulties." ”

"What's the difficulty? I think it's good for her little white-faced city lord, and if you have it, you will naturally kick our maiden family aside......"

Most of the people are scolding, half of the crossbow machine tools that were said before have also been detained, and the Hong Gang came to Tuzhou City this time, which can really be described as empty-handed and empty-handed, and he was a return soldier to the city lord of Tuzhou in vain.

Baili Liang saw that Xu Hai was not annoyed at all, and the red orange was fine, the two of them were riding on horses, talking in a low voice, and they were full of energy.

Shen Du followed Baili Liang's carriage and said to Baili Liang: "The helper promised to let us go to Longjia Village to give the old man a funeral first, and also allocated a thousand taels of silver for me to bring to the old man's family. ”

Hongzhai is the nest of the Honggang.

It was when there was a shortage of silver that Xu Hai was so generous, and Baili Liang felt unusual.

Sun Yan asked Shen Du: "What did you talk to the gang leader, you talked about it all afternoon!" ”

Shen Du looked at Baili Liang, his face turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "Also...... It's nothing, don't ask. ”

After walking for more than an hour, Baili Liang and Xu Hai and his gang parted ways, and he took Shen Du, Sun Yanxun, Lei, Niu Xin and Xu Xiang to Longjia Village.

After walking for more than an hour, Longjia Village arrived, Shen Du asked about Long Fei's home and drove the car away.

Long Fei's family has only one granddaughter-in-law, with three children, and it can be seen from the scale of the courtyard that it was a big family with a beautiful scenery before, but at this time it has already become a half-deserted house, and a woman with a sallow face greeted her.

Baili Liang explained his intentions, and the woman did not cry, so she asked a few people to carry the coffin into the hall, and then arranged the mourning hall neatly, and the three children knelt in front of the hall in a proper manner.

Everything was in order, Shen Du took out the silver and offered it, and the woman sneered: "Take it back, grandpa would rather gouge out his eyes than from your Honggang, how can I make grandpa's wealth!" The little woman is grateful for your help in burying the old man. ”

Shen Du saw that the other party was resolute, so he had no choice but to take back the silver.

This night, no one slept, they were all guarding Long Fei's spirit, including Long Fei's three great-grandsons and Xiao Xu Xiang.
