Chapter 54: The Night of the Eternal Night Village

Zhao Yue lived in the old woman's house for two or three days, and every day she went out to help the old woman dig some wild vegetables and berries in the mountains behind Yongye Village.

The mountain behind Yongye Village is relatively small, and it looks like a small hill up close, but from a distance in the village, it also looks like a continuous green mountain, which is full of all kinds of edible wild vegetables and fruits, and of course, there is no lack of poisonous plants.

Zhao Yue has followed the old woman in the past few days to know a lot of wild vegetables growing in the mountains, according to the old woman, her surname is Jiang, Zhao Yue called her Jiang's grandmother in her heart.

In the evening of this day, Zhao Yue and Jiang's mother-in-law returned with their backs to the sunset, and the old man's wrinkled face was full of joy, because the bamboo basket she carried on her arm was full of all kinds of green wild vegetables, all of which Zhao Yue picked for her in the mountains.

Earlier, Jiang's mother-in-law was not in good health, and at most she picked vegetables in the foothills, but since Zhao Yue, a young man from home, he could pick all the wild vegetables on the top of the mountain.

At the entrance of Yongye Village, a large tree fell sideways many years ago, stretching straight along the main road of the village, and now, this huge dead tree has become a place for the villagers to chat. People sat side by side, talking about the situation.

Zhao Yue, who was passing by the dead wood, moved his ears, and his steps couldn't help but slow down, because he heard several people talking about the situation.

"Hey, did you hear that?" Wang Wu in the village knocked Erlang's leg and sat on the dead wood, twisted his face and said to Zhao Si on the side: "Cao Cao in the combined army has been defeated. ”

Zhao Si stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and then said: "Why haven't you heard of this, I just said that this combined army can't do the imperial court, then Dong Zhuo has a lot of soldiers under him!" ”

"That's not it, if there weren't so many soldiers, it would be impossible to burn Luoyang, that's Luoyang, the imperial capital!" Wang Wu said with a hint of awe.

When Zhao Yue heard this, she was horrified. Before he went to bed every night, he was thinking about his future way out, and even considered going to seek refuge with Cao Cao, who he met in Wang Yun's mansion that day, but he didn't know Cao Cao's current situation, so he put it off again and again, but who knew that he heard this kind of news now!

And most importantly, Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo!?

"What's wrong, kid?" Jiang's mother-in-law noticed that Zhao Yue had stopped, so she hurriedly asked.

Zhao Yue waved her hand and said to Jiang's mother-in-law: "It's okay, mother-in-law, you go back first, I'll talk to the uncles in the village here for a while, okay?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang's mother-in-law pursed her lips and smiled, and then happily left alone. She wanted to hurry back home and make a soup of these wild vegetables, which must be delicious, and maybe she could bring a few more bowls to the neighbors for a blind date.

Zhao Yue came to Zhao Si and Wang Wu's side, found a place on the dead wood next to them, sat down quietly, and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

After listening for a while, he finally heard the door: it turned out that the anti-Dong Zhuo coalition army was stagnant in the Tiger Pass, and only Cao Cao's princes led his generals and soldiers to Luoyang, in order to chase Dong Zhuo and his party who held Emperor Han Xian to move westward, but he did not expect to encounter an ambush led by Xu Rong, a subordinate of Dong Zhuojun, in the suburbs of Luoyang, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army.

I also heard that the disheartened Cao Cao led the remnants of the defeated army back to the subordinate territory of Chenliucheng, and did not return to the United Army of Tiger Prison Pass.

As for the current situation in Luoyang, Wang Wu and Zhao Si also listened to the department stores walking around, it is said that Luoyang is like a ruin now, not to mention the civilian residences such as merchants and shops, even the military buildings and school grounds have been burned, and many people have died in the city, and now the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.

After hearing all this, Zhao Yue stood up, sighed, and silently walked towards Jiang's mother-in-law's house.

The night in Eternal Night Village always seemed to come quickly, and Zhao Yue's mood couldn't calm down for a long time, and at dinner, he only drank a few mouthfuls of wild vegetable soup, which disappointed Jiang's mother-in-law who was full of expectations.

It's not that this wild vegetable soup doesn't suit Zhao Yue's taste, but that Zhao Yue has a thought in his heart, so he has a bad appetite.

Helping Jiang's mother-in-law clean up the dishes, Zhao Yue had already laid down on the bed, tossing and turning on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

From the time he came out of the tiger prison to the present, he has made countless plans in his heart.

First of all, he wanted to go over to his eldest brother Zhang Duan, but Zhang Duan was Dong Zhuo's subordinate, although the two had a good relationship, but Zhao Yue didn't want to be a good executioner under Dong Zhuo.

So what about finding Cao Ping and Hua Xiong, and then starting an affair with these two to revitalize the great cause of the former ancestors?

Zhao Yue turned over on the bed and shook his head: Since the Tiger Prison was closed, the whereabouts of these two people are unknown, according to Cao Ping's temperament, he should not return to Luoyang, besides, even if he and Hua Xiong returned to Luoyang that day, then Luoyang was burned at this time, and he and Hua Xiong must have gone elsewhere, if you want to find two ordinary people in the vast land of Shenzhou, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Also, what about the wife of the military marquis Liu Zheng in Luoyang and his son Xiao Liu Xian?

"Ugh." Zhao Yue lay on the bed sideways, hunched over like a cat, let out a sigh in the bed, and then couldn't help but mutter: "After all, it is the family of the military marquis of the Han army in the past, no matter how mad Dong Zhuo is, he will not ignore their identities...... However, even Cao Cao was defeated by Dong Zhuo's men, it is really a strange thing, I think that person is also more scheming and thoughtful, how could he lose to Xu Rong in the battle of commanding the army? ”

"Maybe Dong Zhuo's Xu Rong is better than Cao Cao." Zhao Yue explained himself like this in his heart, but he also had to admit one thing, that is, his idea of wanting to go to Cao Cao also came to naught.

Thinking always leads to the passage of time faster, and people become more tired and tired because of thinking. Zhao Yue was like this, he fell asleep while constantly thinking. A slight snoring sounded, and it was a cool night outside the house, and the warmth of early spring slowly spread into everyone's dream field at night.

In the distance, on the periphery of Eternal Night Village, a few dark shadows suddenly crossed, and the weapon in his hand could be faintly seen in the cold light flickering in the moonlight.

They were originally a group of Yellow Turban thieves, but now they have become thieves who occupy the mountains as kings, there are five people in total, and the leader of the bandits is the Pei Yuanshao who once killed Wu Chang Xing Yi in the valley at the junction of Sili and Yuzhou.

Since that day at the mouth of the state border let Zhao Yue and his party go, Pei Yuanshao and his hundreds of people were unfortunately hit by some gentry in Yuzhou, the families of the gentry of various counties gathered together, there were about hundreds of people, Pei Yuanshao led his men to fight with them, and the personnel shrank significantly.

In desperation, Pei Yuanshao had to move to the mountains and wilderness around Runan County with the remaining people, gathered in the mountains and forests, and became a bandit, this time he only took five people down the mountain, just to rob some small villages, fortunately, the road was smooth, and he had been robbing Yingchuan from Runan.

And this time, their goal is to fall on this small place in the village of Eternal Night!

"Big brother, will we plant it this time, brother, I don't know why, my right eyelid keeps jumping."

Under the thick black curtain, Pei Yuanshao and the others leaned against a few trees, and one of his subordinates was talking worriedly.

Pei Yuanshao listened, slapped on the man's brain, lowered his voice, and reprimanded viciously: "Fuck you, what mouth, next time I say something depressing, I will slap you directly on the mouth." ”

The other person obeyed Pei Yuanshao's meaning and comforted: "Hey, don't make trouble, what can you do with the eldest brother, this Eternal Night Village is a small broken village, the officers and soldiers don't care, what other immortals can be?" Besides, our eldest brother's ability is also a general in the Yellow Turban Army! Just those dry men in the village, the eldest brother fights ten of them one by one! ”

After Pei Yuanshao heard this, he showed an arrogant smile in the moonlight, he looked at the four brothers around him, and then gritted his teeth and ordered: "A few buddies, give me a little smarter, the guy in his hand is also sharpened, and when they fall asleep and the day is about to dawn, let's rush in and do it!" ”

"Yes!" The four thieves replied.
