In early spring in March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is a beautiful village surrounded by verdant mountains. www.biquge.info At the foot of the mountain, there are chessboard-like farmlands, cottages shaded by green bamboo, ponds with willow threads, and a meandering river trickling around the village.

It is the most critical time of the year for farming, and the fields are full of busy farming scenes, men, women and children are all over the fields, bowing their heads and working hard. There is a tea stall under a big locust tree according to the official road, three or five travelers are sitting in front of the tea stall, this group of people looks dusty, the young man sitting in the center is holding a large porcelain bowl drinking herbal tea, and several people around him look like ordinary people, but the fierce air is outward.

"Sister-in-law, you're also a local, right?" The young man and the woman watching the tea stall were doing a homely meal.

"Yes, the little woman is a local, and has lived here for generations." The woman was wiping the tea table with a rag, and her mouth was not idle, and she seemed to be the kind of person who was enthusiastic and cheerful, and had a straightforward personality.

"Sister-in-law, is this tea stall enough for your family's livelihood?" The young man continued.

"Relying on this tea stall to live, then our family is not allowed to drink the northwest wind. The little woman was sick with cold and dampness and couldn't get off the ground, so she set up a tea stall here to earn two mouthfuls of grain and make it convenient for passing guests. The woman said.

"Then what does my sister-in-law's family live on?"

"I also have two sons, both of whom are digging in the soil, and the whole family lives by pointing to the little harvest in the field."

The two of them were having a ride and were chatting about it, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves on the official road was loud, raising smoke and dust all the way, and there were enough soldiers of one hundred and eighty people from far and near, and the person at the head had a fierce face and a vicious face. When I passed by the tea stall, I didn't slow down at all, and I galloped past as if no one was around. The young man watched coldly, and deliberately stared at the officer at the head several times.

"These plagued officers and soldiers don't know what to do." The woman watched the group go away and spat hard.

"Sister-in-law, who are they? When did there be a garrison here? The young man inquired.

"The guest officer doesn't know, there is no garrison in the local area, it turns out that it has always been very peaceful here, although the big guys have a hard time, after all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is much better than the people in other state capitals who can't eat enough. The soldiers in Luoyang City will not come out to harm us. But a few months ago, a group of soldiers who didn't know where they came from, plagued all over the ten miles and eight towns in this vicinity, robbing food, women, and money, coming out of Luoyang City during the day and going back at night, doing bad things. ”

"Is there no one in the official family here to appeal on behalf of the people?"

"There's a ball." The woman said hatefully: "At the beginning of the period, the people went to ask the government to uphold justice, but later they couldn't even see the face of the official, and told us that these soldiers and uncles could not be provoked by the officials, so that the people would hide when they saw them coming." Not to mention Li Zheng, he didn't even dare to fart in front of these brutes. Hey, what kind of world is this, the ordinary people have no way to live. ”

The young man drank the remaining herbal tea in the bowl in one gulp, and gestured to his entourage. The attendant took out a large handful of skewers and put them in front of the woman. The woman hurriedly excused herself, "A few guest officers, you don't need so much。。。。。。 ”

"Sister-in-law, take it, we have to thank you, I heard so much useful news, sister-in-law, rest assured, these people will not be harmed for long." The young man comforted gently.

"Could it be that a few guest officers are officials? The little woman has no beads, and she chewed her tongue indiscriminately just now, and several officials must not blame it。。。。。。 The woman was obviously worried that she had just scolded the government for being incompetent.

The young man smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, your tea is very delicious, next time we will come to drink your tea, listen to you scold the government, these officials, bully the soft and fear the hard, watch the people under their rule suffer, but ignore it, Mingzhe protects himself, it is not a thing." Sister-in-law, you scolded lightly, if you want me to say, it is a group of dog officials who are vegetarian in the corpse, and they have wasted the people's fat and ointment in vain. After speaking, he led his men out of the tea shed, turned over their horses, and galloped away.

At dusk, the group finally arrived at their destination. The young man looked at the inconspicuous manor in front of him and said to the attendants beside him, "Go and see, has Mr. Tang arrived?" The attendant agreed, turned over and dismounted, and was about to step forward to knock on the door, when suddenly, the middle door was wide open, and he came out of it thinking that he was an old man, with a wide robe and big sleeves, a high crown and a moth belt, and a pair of old eyes that were shining brightly and bright.

"Childe, the saddle horse is tired all the way, and the wine and food have been prepared in the garden, so as to catch the wind and wash the dust for Childe's return from a great victory." The old man came forward with a smile, it turned out to be Tang Zhong, and the young man immediately was Yang Ke who rushed back to Luoyang in the starry night.

"Old Master, this gourd valley is going to come in handy again today." Yang Ke also laughed.

Tang Zhong looked at the high-spirited Yang Ke and nodded with satisfaction: "Gongzi has been gone for more than half a year, and he has more peace in his chest, and with you coming back to sit in town, the court will be worry-free." ”

Yang Ke turned over and dismounted, and grabbed Tang Zhong: "The old master has worked hard, he has worked too hard in the court for most of the past half a year, today Ke will have a drink with the old man, the big thing will be talked about tomorrow." ”

"Yes, put aside the big things for now, and wait until tomorrow when the wine wakes up." Tang Zhong was also infected by Yang Ke's emotions, and waved his sleeves: "Childe, please look, I also brought you someone." With that, he pointed with his hand ahead.

Yang Ke looked in the direction of his finger, the door of the village was open, and there was a graceful girl standing against the door, with beautiful eyes and a smile, bent into a crescent moon, with slightly exposed teeth, falling and generous, like a Lingbo fairy, who would it be?

Yang Ke has been working hard for half a year, and he has a lot of worries along the way, and after a long time of separation, he first met his old friend, and then he could see the woman who was sleeping, and he couldn't help but feel sad: "Youfang, I haven't seen you for half a year, you have lost weight, do you want to think about it?" ”

Yang Ke's sudden words made Zhang Rui immediately blush, and laughed with disgust: "A good person, who has been in the army for more than half a year, how can he talk has become unobstructed, making the old master laugh." ”

Tang Zhong laughed: "Compared with the original, the son has a little more true temperament, which is a good thing." It seems that in the past half a year, Childe has mingled with the children in the barracks. ”

Yang Ke smiled slightly: "Old master, young fang, let's not stand at the door to eat and drink, our stomachs are already growling, let's hurry up and start eating." ”
