Chapter 12 Knowing the Homeland

Just when Yun Meng and the three of them were outnumbered, a big man was killed in the sky. I saw that this big man was more than nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, a face like black charcoal, wearing short clothes and shorts, and holding a bronze stick in his hand.

Dahan came to Yin Yuan's approach, looked at Yun Meng, was stunned for a moment, and then put the big stick in his hand horizontally, pointing at the dwarf and the group: "Grandpa just arrived in Jiankang today, and he encountered injustices on the road, and he felt uncomfortable in the past few days, and today you waited for your grandson to come to the door." ”

Dahan said to Yin Yuan again: "This strong man, don't rob me today, I will cover all these miscellaneous pieces today." If you rob me, I will turn against you. ”

Yin Yuan felt funny in his heart, and thought to himself, "The black man killed there is like an iron tower." There is no match for talking, but it seems that there should be two strokes. Then he hugged his fist at the big man and said: "Just rely on the strong man, please be more careful." After saying that, the piece flashed to the side and stood with Yun Meng and Qing Yao.

Besides, the short man and the group were also shocked to see such a big black man suddenly killed, but these guys have long been used to it on weekdays, where would they think so much, the short man squinted his eyes, grinned and looked up and down at the big black man for a long time, and said: "Where did this come out of nowhere, shouting donkeys, putting fodder and not eating, come here to find death?" Get out of here, or you'll get rid of your donkey's skin. ”

"Get out, get out." The thugs next to him also drank together.

When the black man heard this, he immediately became anxious, and scolded: "I'll let you die, just stay here!" At the same time, he picked up the big stick in his hand, and went down to the short man's head with a force, and he heard a "snap", and the short man didn't even hum, and the big head was beaten to pieces, and the dead body fell to the ground, and blood and brains flowed everywhere.

The crowd of onlookers blew up the pot, and as soon as they saw that someone had been killed, they scattered and fled, and the short men saw that the leaders were all killed, so they threw down the guy in their hands and turned around and ran. Yun Meng was also shocked when he saw this, and secretly complained bitterly, and said in his heart: "Oops, it's broken." I wanted to be nosy, but I didn't expect to make a fuss. ”

Yun Meng hurriedly picked up the two sisters and brothers on the ground first, and told them to flee for their lives. He turned back to the big black man and said: "Strong man, now that there is a lot of trouble, that group of people will not give up, you should also hide quickly, we will have a period later." After saying that, they greeted Yin Yuan and Qing Yao, and the three of them turned into the nearby alley and ran down.

Fortunately, Yin Yuan was familiar with the nearby streets and alleys, and the three of them ran out of several streets in a circle. Yun Meng is no better than Yin Yuan, he was already tired and out of breath at this time, and it was estimated that the pursuers would not follow, so Yun Meng hurriedly called Yin Yuan in front of him, and said while panting: "Brother, I have been running for a long time, and it is expected that the group will not catch up, can you rest and rest for a while, little brother, little brother really can't run." ”

When Yin Yuan heard this, he turned around, gasping for breath while pointing at Yun Meng with his finger, opening his mouth to say something. Yun Mengxin said: "Brother must blame me for my poor physical strength, so I can't support it after running for such a while." ”

But who knew that Yin Yuan took a breath and shouted, "You, why did you come here with you?" ”

When Yun Meng heard it, he didn't mean himself. So he hurriedly looked back, and it turned out that the big black man was standing behind Yun Meng.

Yun Meng stood up straight, walked to the front of the big man, and asked Qing Yao to go to the intersection to control the wind, wiped a handful of sweat and said to the big man: "Strong man, didn't you just tell you to hide quickly, why did you follow us again?" ”

Yin Yuan also rushed over and said: "That's it, so many people are together, it is easy to attract attention, so please hurry up and find another way!" ”

The black man didn't answer Yin Yuan, looked at Yun Meng directly, pointed at Yun Meng with his hand and said, "I'll look for you." ”

Yun Meng asked in surprise: "You said you were looking for me, do you and I know each other?" ”

The black man replied: "I didn't recognize it just now, but I saw that you were familiar, so I ran with you, and I remembered as I ran, are you Yunmeng from Gaoliang Village?" ”

When Yun Meng heard what the big man said, he hurriedly asked: "Yes, I am Sorghum Zhuang Yunmeng, are you?" ”

Dahan heard that the person in front of him was Yun Meng, "Wow! A howl and a cry, the cry shook the sky, startling Yun Meng and the others, Yun Meng hurriedly covered the big man's mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice: "The strong man is quiet, if you have something to say, don't attract the chasing soldiers, okay." ”

Dahan nodded, Yun Meng let go of his hand, Dahan wiped a handful of snot and tears: "Yun Meng, I'm finally looking for you, I'm Cao Qi!" ”

Yun Meng heard that the big man opposite was Cao Qi, and immediately grabbed Cao Qi with both hands, and looked up and down carefully: "I said that I felt familiar when I saw you just now, but I didn't think about it when time was pressing, I finally saw you today, Cao Qi, Cao Qi, after so many years, Yun Meng really wanted to hurt you." As he spoke, tears dripped down like pearls of broken threads.

On the side, Yin Yuan was anxious, and thought: "These two people are going to cry here, and it's strange if they don't attract chasing soldiers." Then he hurriedly said to the two: "This is not a place for the two of you to talk, you can't stay for a long time, let's find a safe place first, and then slowly talk about the past?" Yun Meng said yes again and again, then greeted Qing Yao, took Cao Qi, and followed Yin Yuan to continue walking.

A few people were afraid that someone would follow them, so they didn't dare to return to their residences, so Yin Yuan led everyone out of the city through the alleys, came to a remote place outside the city, found a big tree, and a few people sat on the ground against the big tree, Yun Meng first introduced Yin Yuan and Cao Qi to each other, and called Qingyao and Cao Qi to meet, so he grabbed Cao Qi and asked: "Back then, we were killed and plundered by the Zhao army, and the crowd was scattered, and I also went back to look for you, but I saw Uncle Cao's tragic death, and simply covered up Uncle Cao's body, and looked around but there was no trace of you, Where have you been all these years? Why are you here today? ”

When Cao Qi heard Yun Meng mention the past, he couldn't help but redden, and choked up: "Yun Meng, you are kind to my Cao family!" It's you who don't let my father expose his corpse to the wilderness, you are worshiped by me. As he spoke, he was about to kneel down for Yun Meng.

Yun Meng hurriedly helped Cao Qi and said: "This is wrong, you and I have known each other since childhood, and Uncle Cao treats me even better, I only regret that I didn't bury my uncle well, but today you want to thank me, doesn't this make Yun Meng even more ashamed?" Tell me what happened to you. ”

Cao Qi said "yes" and said: "On that day, the cavalry of the Zhao army of the brigade came over, and I wanted to lead people to resist first, but I couldn't stop it at all, and I was scattered by the cavalry at once, and several brothers were killed and wounded. I took a few wounded brothers and hid in the woods, and when Zhao Jun was gone, a group of people searched for their relatives along the road. Along the way, I saw villagers who had died tragically, and I also found my father's body under the cover of a few straw mats, with wounds and blood all over my body. Yun Meng, do you know that at that time, my eyes were red with hatred, and I wanted to take revenge when I thought about it, and after hastily burying my father's body, our group went crazy to chase after that group of Zhao soldiers, but how could we catch up. I met a few folks in our village, and they were also separated. At this time, I suddenly remembered that your whereabouts were also unknown, so I inquired about the whereabouts of your family, but there was no news. But I don't think that's a bad thing, and maybe your family is still alive. ”

After listening to Cao Qi's narration with tears in his eyes, Yun Meng said indignantly: "It's all this troubled world, so that our originally good homes have been destroyed, relatives have been separated, and yin and yang are separated. ”

Yin Yuan and Qing Yao couldn't help but sigh when they heard it on the side, and Yin Yuan comforted the two: "The two virtuous brothers don't grieve anymore, the matter has come to this point, if you want to think about it, you have to think about it in the long run." ”

Yun Meng wiped away his tears and said: "What Brother Yin said is, Cao Qi, you and I can see each other again today, which means that you and I will not stop tomorrow!" ”

"Hey, that's it, no matter how much I cry, my father and those dead folks won't come back to life, fortunately, Yunmeng, you are still alive, I feel that my heart is steady." Cao Qi actually burst into tears and laughed.

"By the way, why did you come to Jiankang?" Yun Meng asked again.

Cao Qi said: "I later got separated from my friends, and walked to a monastery hungry alone, and later I learned that the monastery was called Panlong Temple, and the abbot of the temple, Master Kongjing, learned of what happened to me, and took me in with great mercy. Later, I passed on martial arts, a study is ten years, until last month, the master told me that I have a mundane fate in the world, said that if I really have the heart to convert to Buddhism, I have to break the grudge first, the master knows that I can not let go of the things of the year, so let me go to the world to sharpen it, so I left Panlong Temple, along the way aimlessly walking, just arrived in Jiankang today, originally thought of the restaurant to relieve the cravings, did not expect to encounter this, but it is also fortunate to meet Yun Meng you! "The two of them are like this, you and I have been talking for more than an hour, and Yun Meng also briefly told Cao Qi what happened to him.

Seeing that the sun was setting west, it was not a thing to stay in the suburbs all the time, Yin Yuan discussed with Yun Meng to see if there was any way to know the situation in the city. On the side, Qing Yao said: "Two sons, how about letting Qing Yao go into the city to investigate?" I don't think those people will notice Qing Yao either. ”

The two of them thought about it, too, after all, Qing Yao's goal was not obvious, so they sent Qing Yao to take advantage of the dusk to enter the city to investigate, Yun Meng was relieved and repeatedly told Qing Yao to be more careful. After about another hour or so, Qing Yao hurried back and reported the situation in the city to Yun Meng and the others.

No wonder the gang of evil slaves were so arrogant, it turned out to be a member of the Wang family in the capital, and the short man who was killed by Cao Qi was named Wang Yi, who was a small head. Now that the city is in chaos, the yamen has issued an arrest document to draw pictures of Cao Qi and post them everywhere. But strangely, Yun Meng and Yin Yuan were not mentioned on the arrest notice.

Yun Meng was anxious and said, "How can this be good?" I can't just stay here. ”

Cao Qi didn't care, and said to Yun Meng Yinyuan: "A good man is a good man, I killed people, I will bear anything alone, I will not implicate you, I will go to the government to surrender." ”

Yin Yuan and Yun Meng hurriedly stopped Cao Qi, and Yun Meng said to Cao Qi: "What you are talking about, the Wang family is powerful, and it is expected that they have already colluded with the government, didn't you go to the net?" Besides, you are not the only one who caused this matter, why should you bear it alone, I am just thinking about how to deal with the current problem, and at the same time, I also wonder why the government does not want me and Brother Yin? ”

Yin Yuan also said: "As a brother, I also have this consideration, could it be that there is something strange about this?" ”

Cao Qi said: "Why do you think about it so much? If you want to rely on me, what kind of yamen and what Wang family, let's run away together, and if you can't do it, you can go back to Panlong Temple with me, it's not very good! ”

Yun Meng shook his head and said: "Cao Qi, Cao Qi, don't make trouble, Brother Yin Yuan is a celebrity today, how can he flee everywhere like you and me?" Moreover, the current situation is not completely clear, and such arbitrariness is bound to be wrong......"

"What Brother Cao Xian said is not unreasonable." Yin Yuan on the side interrupted Yun Meng's words.
