"I don't know if Brother Xun knows that as early as more than ten years ago, there was a well-known celebrity in the world who lived in Wu to avoid trouble?"

As soon as Lu Ren's words came out, Xun Li's face changed slightly, and he exclaimed: "What Brother Lu said, could it be Cai Yong and Cai Zhonglang?" It's no wonder, I didn't expect Brother Lu to learn from Cai Zhonglang! ”

If you want to change your brain, you may respond directly to Xun Li's words, but Lu Ren is not so stupid, after all, this kind of lie can't stand any questioning, Lu Ren has another explanation, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't have such a good life to learn from Cai Zhonglang." In fact, this is the case, I was still a child at that time, and in order to make a living, I worked as a handyman in Cai Zhonglang's house for a while. In the morning and evening, I stole a little bit of fur from Cai Zhonglang. It's a pity that due to some changes, I didn't stay in Cai Zhonglang's house for long before I left Wudi, and then I lived on the streets. ”

Lu Ren's words were actually very vague, after all, Lu Ren's knowledge of a character like Cai Yong was quite limited, but he only roughly knew that Cai Yong had stayed in Wu for twelve years before he was forced by Dong Zhuo to go to Luoyang to become an official, and he deduced that he had stayed with Cai Yong for a period of time more than ten years ago, and that time should be able to coincide. And if Xun Li asks about the exact year, Lu Ren can also deduce that he was just a child who was not very sensible at that time, and he didn't remember it very clearly, so he should be able to fool the past.

However, Xun Li didn't ask any more questions, but bowed to Lu Ren with a straight face: "Brother Lu is really a sincere person!" In fact, with Brother Lu's ability to sound and rhythm, even if he falsely claims to have studied under Cai Zhonglang, why not? You must know that in today's world, there are countless people who pretend to be noble and pretentious! ”

Lu Ren was cheeky, and said in his heart that if I really used to be a handyman at Cai Yong's place, do you think I would say that I am Cai Yong's disciple? Am I not afraid that when others ask about Cai Yong's detailed deeds, they will be exposed?

After looking at Xun Li's salute again, a very yearning look appeared on his face: "It's a pity! It's a pity that Cai Zhonglang is deceased. Sometimes I think about it, I hate why I couldn't be born a few years earlier, and then worship Cai Zhonglang's disciple and study art in the morning and evening. Today, I unexpectedly met Brother Lu by chance, and I heard the music left by Cai Zhonglang, which can be regarded as a little comfort. ”

Lu Ren was amused when he heard it, and said secretly in his heart: "The song I played has nothing to do with Cai Yong, right?" It's just that now it is absolutely impossible to say that it is broken. Alas, Miss Tang, I'm sorry! "Miss Tang Family, the composer of many pieces in the "Fairy Sword" series, the more representative work is the theme music of "Sword and Fairy III" "Royal Sword Jianghu", which is the one played on the title screen of "Sword and Fairy III".

But at this time, Xun Li sighed, Lu Ren didn't know what to say, and it was a little cold for a while, until Xun Li's two of them stopped talking, and immediately stepped forward and said to Xun Li: "Lord, it's almost dark, and we haven't gone to find a place to stay." ”

"Yikes!" Xun Li patted his head, and then looked up at the sky, it was almost dark. But the next moment, Xun Li set his eyes on Lu Ren and said with a smile: "Patronizing and talking to Brother Lu, I almost forgot about the business." But it's rare to meet Brother Lu today and have a good conversation...... Dare to ask Brother Lu, can Brother Lu settle six people and six horses for us? ”

"Six men and six horses?" Lu Ren thought about the mud-walled courtyard where he was temporarily living now, and then shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm stingy, there are only two dilapidated mud huts in the small courtyard where I live now, and there is no place for you to sleep at all." ”

In fact, not to mention Lu Ren, even if it is the entire nameless village, I am afraid that there is no household with extra houses for Xun Li to sleep in. After all, this is just a poor village, and many of the villagers are homeless, and the places where they live are built haphazardly.

Xun Li seemed to have expected this, and waved his hand to Lu Ren and said, "You don't have to have a house, as long as there is a walled courtyard to ward off wild beasts, so that our lord can sleep peacefully." Brother Lu also said that it is a 'small courtyard', and there should always be a boundary for us to live in the courtyard overnight, right? To tell you the truth, I still want to have a good conversation with Brother Lu. ”

"That's it......" Lu Ren frowned, and looked up and down, and looked at the six of Xun Li's servants over and over again, and said in his heart that this Xun Li was a bachelor of You, and he didn't look like a bad person. Besides, as far as the current self is concerned, how can there be anything that can make the other party have bad intentions? On the other hand, maybe you can make some money from Xun Li.

In addition, after a month, Lu Ren has deeply realized what is called the poor flow of information in ancient times, and Lu Ren can't inquire about many things, so he is very eager to get some information related to the surrounding areas of Xuzhou.

As for why you want to get information...... Even if Lu Ren's knowledge is bad, he is still more interested in the history of the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, so he has read a lot of historical materials of the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, so Lu Ren knows very well that Xuzhou will soon be attacked by Cao Cao, but when it is, Lu Ren is really a little uncertain. If you don't grasp this, this is near Tancheng again, and Cao Bing will be doing Sanguang as soon as he kills him, and then Lu Ren's life will be in danger.

Out of these thoughts, Lu Ren also hoped that Xun Li could stay there for the night, so that he could get some words out of Xun Li's mouth, but it was not easy to show it directly on his face, so Lu Ren frowned and wanted to say something.

It's just that Lu Ren frowned, Xun Li seemed to be a little mistaken, smiled and stretched out his hand to the attendant, and the attendant took out a money bag and handed it to Xun Li, Xun Li simply handed the money bag to Lu Ren and said: "These salaries, I hope Brother Lu will not refuse." ”

"Well...... this"

Lu Ren looked at the money bag, his throat moved, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. It's not that Lu Ren is greedy for money, but Lu Ren also served as a rich uncle for more than two months before the crossing, and he didn't take money seriously. It's really that Lu Ren really needs money now. Why money? Lu Ren is going to run away! If you don't run away, will you just wait for Cao Cao's army to kill you in this small village? But when he ran away, he didn't have any money, so did he really have to eat all the way?

After twisting it, Lu Ren took the money bag with an old face, and then smiled at Xun Li very embarrassedly: "Then I will be disrespectful." I'm not afraid of Brother Xun laughing, I really need money now...... Hey, you're six people and six horses, aren't you? ”

Xun Li smiled and nodded.

Lu Ren thought about it again and muttered: "If you just make a bunk in the yard, it's no problem, as for the horses, there is an empty cowshed in the yard, and six horses can squeeze it." And it just so happens that I have piled up some forage there, which was originally planned to be sent to Tancheng tomorrow to be sold, so you can take it and feed the horses. "What do you mean by having a short mouth and a short hand? It's probably like Lu Ren.

Xun Li stroked his palms and smiled: "So good! Just ask Brother Lu to lead the way. ”

Lu Rengang wanted to raise his legs, but after looking at the money bag in his hand, he was still a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he responded: "Why don't you let Xiaoping take you over first." The main thing is that I don't have anything to eat for you, so I want to go to the village and buy you something to eat. ”

Xun Li said: "Don't bother, the dry food we bring is sufficient, and we only need to have a wall courtyard to live in." ”

Lu Ren hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't don't, I still have to entertain what I should entertain." There are no good things in the village, but there are still fresh vegetables and grains, which can always give you a full meal...... Xiaoping, you help me take these guests to my place, and then make it clear to Li Lao, I'll go buy something and come back. ”

After speaking, Lu Ren bowed to Xun Li, and rushed to the village to find someone to buy rice and vegetables, and Xiaoping led Xun Li's six servants to the place where Lu Ren lives now.

Leaving aside Lu Ren's situation for the time being, he just said that Xun Li looked at Xiao Ping who was leading the way in front of him, and casually took a few big money from the attendant, and stuffed it into Xiao Ping's hand with a smile, so happy that Xiao Ping jumped up.

Seeing Xiao Ping leading the way in front, one of Xun Li's attendants finally couldn't help but whisper to Xun Li: "Is it inappropriate for the Lord to spend the night with this Lu Ren so easily?" When I saw that he got the money, I hurried to the village, but I was afraid that I would ......"

Xun Li waved his hand and said very confidently: "In my opinion, this person has a pure heart, and he will definitely not be the kind of person who wants to see wealth." Do you think that if I go to talk to him and then spend the night with him, it will really be as simple as liking music? Not to mention anything else, when he got the money, he was not greedy, but rather guilty, such a person would not harm others for money. In my opinion, if he didn't really need the money urgently, he probably wouldn't have taken it. ”

The attendant understood, and was silent.

It didn't take long for Xiaoping to lead Xun Li and the others to the place where Lu Ren now lives. This is a mud-walled courtyard, at that time, it was not too big, and it was not too small, anyway, there was enough space in the courtyard for Xun Li to lay the ground and settle the horses.

There is also an old man who is almost sixty years old in the courtyard, that is, the old woodcutter Li Lao who took in Lu Ren. Li Lao is an old woodcutter who lives alone when he got lost in the small forest after Lu Ren crossed, and he accidentally broke his leg when chopping firewood half a year ago and was unable to move, so there is very little firewood that can be cut in the past six months, just barely making ends meet.

At this time, Lu Ren happened to need a place to live here temporarily, so Lu Ren stayed at Li Lao's house, and at the same time made a cameo appearance as a woodcutter to help Li Lao chop wood for food, and Li Lao boiled water at home to cook, and occasionally went fishing or something to improve his life. After a month, Lu Ren and Li Lao have a little bit of dependence on each other.

After listening to Xiaoping's explanation, Li Lao looked at Xun Li and them, and seemed to be a little unhappy, but Li Lao didn't say anything, just let Xun Li and them take care of themselves, and he hid in the small mud house and didn't show up again. Xun Li didn't care about this, just sat by the fire that had just been raised and waited for Lu Ren to come back.

After a while, Lu Ren came back with some grain, rice and vegetables, and when he saw that Li Lao was hiding in the house and didn't come out, he understood something, so he smiled apologetically at Xun Li, put the rice and vegetables aside first, and went into Li Lao's house. After a short time, Lu Ren came out, and Xun Li smiled at Lu Ren: "This Elder Li seems to be a little unwelcome to us. ”

Lu Ren sighed lightly and explained: "In these years, the army is in chaos, Li Lao is just worried, I will be fine if I make it clear to him, not to mention that you also gave me so much salary, which is enough to keep his mouth shut." Oh yes, you guys wait. ”
