Chapter 3: Fleeing East
Liu Cun, who was quickly surrounded by dozens of men, quickly glanced around, and slowly retreated to the door of the earthen wall that had lost the door frame of the door panel, blocking the passage for everyone to enter the hut, Liu Cun turned a blind eye to the minions who gradually surrounded him, and coldly watched the bearded man on the horse and did not move.
The invisible murderous aura emitted by Liu Cun's strong body stopped everyone's steps, and the shouts of the verbose people stopped unconsciously, staring at Liu Cun, who was more than half a head taller than everyone else and wearing strange short hair, and was stunned.
The bearded man on the horse was quite surprised, and stepped forward with a halberd, reined in the horse five steps away from Liu Cun, and looked up and down at Liu Cun, who was dressed strangely and exuding a dangerous momentum, and his violent gaze finally stayed on the land combat shoes at Liu Cun's feet, and the halberd in his hand waved and roared loudly: "Go up a few, take off the boots under his feet for me!" ”
Several minions rushed towards Liu Cun with a slight hesitation, two of them tried to put a machete on Liu Cun's neck, and the other two stabbed Liu Cun in the waist and abdomen with the sharpened long wooden sticks in their hands.
A frightening scene occurred.
Liu Cun not only did not retreat, but stepped forward, bent his knees slightly and turned sideways in the process, and swung at the two iron knives at his neck and slashed into the air.
Without waiting for a few minions to react, Liu Cun's left hand had snatched the pointed wooden stick that had been stabbed from his waist, and his right fist hit the other minions at the Adam's apple, and then flew out of his left foot, and kicked the heart of the knife-wielding minions in front of him, and the knife-wielding minions flew out in the sound of sternum breaking, and the wooden stick in Liu Cun's hand had come out of his hands like lightning, and flew with the sound of the wind to the bearded man on the horse in front of him.
In an exclamation, the bearded man on the horse almost instinctively raised the halberd in his hand, only to hear a loud "bang", the halberd in the bearded man's hand was knocked away by the wooden stick, and the stocky body immediately fell from the frightened jumping horse.
Without waiting for a group of minions to see what was going on, Liu Cun quickly swept over the left side of the green horse with his front hooves in the air, and flew out and kicked heavily under the back of the head of the bearded man who was embarrassed, and the bearded man flew out upside down before he had time to scream.
Liu Cun, who was moving quickly, no longer cared about the life or death of the bearded man, moved sideways to avoid the falling horses' hooves, grabbed the halberd on the ground and stood majestically, holding the halberd in one hand and pointing at the yellow turban minions around him who were already scared, his deep eyes flashed, and his whole body exuded a shocking murderous aura.
More than fifty frightened yellow turban minions had already frozen in place, looking at Liu Cun in fear as if killing a god, and the stocky minions closest to Liu Cun suddenly collapsed under the distant fingers of the halberd, and fell to the ground begging for mercy, and the sound of knives and guns falling on all sides rang out, so all the minions were prostrate in the snow.
Liu Cun, who thought that there was still a fierce battle, was surprised, he glanced at the three corpses lying on the snow, and then turned to the green horse that was restless but did not run away, and only yelled after a while: "Get out!" ”
The trembling minions raised their heads, looked at Liu Cun who was walking towards the green horse with a halberd in his hand, and saw that Liu Cun did not have any intention of embarrassing his people, so they looked at each other for a moment and quickly got up, and fled to the official road two miles to the north.
Liu Cun threw away the halberd and grabbed the horse's chew, reached out and stroked the neck of the green horse, which was in a state of turmoil, and it took a while for the green horse to calm down, but when he turned around, he found that there were still two ragged yellow turban minions still kneeling on the ground.
Liu Cun pulled the horse to the door and tied the reins, glanced at the dozens of yellow turban minions who were running away, and walked to the two minions who were trembling and kneeling on the ground, only to find that the two minions looked to be over forty years old, their bodies were thin and their bones were abrupt, their clothes were ragged, their hands and feet were cracked, and their sallow faces were full of pleading.
"Why don't you leave?" Liu Cun asked coldly.
The two minions trembled even more when they heard this, and one of them took two steps on his knees, prostrate himself on the snow again, and replied sadly: "The little one can't run anymore." ”
Liu Cun was stunned, and when he saw the young man and the little lady of the Lin family who walked out of the house timidly, he thought about it and had to say: "Get up, peel off the clothes and shoes of the corpse on the ground." ”
The two minions agreed in unison, and when they got up, they found that Liu Cun had climbed the young man's shoulders into the broken mud wall door, the two minions looked at each other, ran to the corpse of their leader, squatted down and quickly picked up their clothes and took off their shoes, and kept muttering: "Fortunately, the body is still warm, if it is stiff, it will be difficult." ”
Lin Shi, who returned to the straw, stared at Liu Cun, who was drinking water silently, bit his pale lips and reminded in a low voice: "Engong, I'm afraid that the yellow scarf that escaped back will still come." ”
Liu Cun nodded slightly: "It is estimated that this place is more than fifteen miles away from Dongwu City and Luxiang in the east, and the yellow scarf can't come within two hours, we have time, and when the two people outside send the clothes and shoes in, you and the child put them on as soon as possible, make do with it, and leave here when it's over." ”
Lin Shi, who was sitting in the corner of the wall, looked at the door, but couldn't see anything, she didn't know why Liu Cun was so relieved to let the two yellow turban minions toss outside, and she was very uneasy after thinking about it: "Engong, where are you going later?" ”
Liu put down the small pottery bowl that was dried: "To the south, there is a trail in the forest behind, follow the trail, you should be able to avoid the yellow scarves that may appear on the official road, and one step at a time." ”
After a while, two middle-aged yellow turban minions came in with a pile of clothes, and one of them also put dozens of five-baht coins and a small bag of salt next to Liu Cun, bent down and bowed, and then went out again to retrieve the knife and gun.
The young man was no longer afraid at this time, and went out behind the two minions, ran to the side of the green horse and picked up the halberd, put it up with great difficulty, looked up at the black halberd tip and crescent-shaped side blade above his head and sighed: "It's so heavy! I'm afraid I'll have to have fifty pounds! ”
The minions with sparse goatees couldn't help but say, "Everyone says that there are fifty catties, and only the newly dead leader can dance." ”
The young man looked at the pitch-black halberd in his hand and the halberd head above again, remembering the heroic posture of Liu Cunshan holding the halberd ring and pointing at the minions just now, and couldn't help but show off proudly: "What kind of thing is your leader?" Didn't you die at the hands of my uncle? I saw just now that my uncle could easily dance this halberd with one hand, and if he used both hands, he would definitely be able to dance like a wheel! ”
The goatee's minion was stunned, and after thinking about what was really going on, he walked to another companion who was waiting in frustration, and walked to the hut with his head hanging down with a few iron knives.
The young man admired the halberd for a long time, and suddenly found that there was no one around, and hurriedly dragged the heavy halberd back to the hut, and found that the two minions had knelt by the fire to drink water, and the little lady of the Lin family in the corner was wrapping an old sheepskin coat around the child, and the young man had to put down the halberd, and quietly knelt beside Liu Cun, who carefully looked at a few iron knives, and asked excitedly:
"Uncle, do you know how many catties of halberd you hold in one hand?"
Liu Cun glanced at the wooden pole and iron-headed halberd lying on the ground: "It is estimated that it is more than twenty catties." ”
The young man's eyes immediately widened: "What? They all say fifty pounds! Ask them if you don't believe me. ”
The two minions hurriedly said that it was not only twenty catties, but at least fifty catties.
Liu Cun was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered Guan Erye's eighty-two-pound Qinglong Yanyue Knife, which was about twenty kilograms according to the metric system, and this weight was not a big deal for Liu Cun, who had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and had a strong physique, so he didn't explain anymore, and threw the two iron knives he selected next to the two minions, and solemnly admonished with a sinking face:
"Since you are willing to follow me, I will not drive you, I hope you will understand what to do. Take these two knives, throw away the rest of the rags, drink the water and find two bundles of hay to hang on the back of the horse, and then leave this place together, if it is really as you say, I estimate that the Yellow Turban army besieging the surrounding counties will soon arrive, in order to avoid the Yellow Turban army coming from the south and northeast, we can only go east, and the rest will be talked about later. ”
The two minions who had already untied their yellow scarves hurriedly leaned down, saluted Liu Cun respectfully, and then picked up the iron knife and walked out of the house quickly.
The young man looked at Liu Cun nervously, and suddenly grabbed the tail end of the halberd on the ground and stuffed it into Liu Cun's hand: "Uncle, I also want to go with you!" ”
Liu Cun looked at the tough halberd made of wood in his hand, put it aside, showed a rare smile, and touched the young man's chaotic head: "Then let's go together, anyway, you and I have no home, it's better to be a companion." By the way, what's your name? ”
The boy hung his head in frustration: "I don't have a name, and no one has given me a name, when I was a child, I had sores on my head, and some people laughed at me for being a laizi." ”
"Then you should remember your last name, right?" Liu Cun asked.
The boy shook his head again: "No one has ever called me by last name, and I don't know what my last name is." ”
Liu Cun sighed with emotion in his heart: "If you don't see the outside world, the same surname as me, how about it?" ”
The young man looked at Liu Cun in disbelief, his whole body trembled, and his lips trembled violently.
Liu Cun thought he was unwilling, guessing that he had any hardships in his heart, so he had to shake his head and stand up: "Forget it, I just want you to have a name, if there is anything convenient for you along the way, since you don't want to, I'll call you a kid." ”
"Nope! I do, I do! ”
The young man suddenly cried, took half a step back with his hands and feet, and kowtowed to the stunned Liu Cun repeatedly, and his small brain slammed on the ground.
Liu Cun immediately understood, and pulled the young man up: "What are you doing here?" Don't cry, pack up and get around. ”
The young man whimpered and nodded, and as soon as Liu Cun went out, he immediately knelt on the ground softly, covering his little face and crying, and the two minions standing at the door sighed.
Lin Shi, who had cleaned up the stop, walked over slowly, helped the young man to silently wipe away the snot and tears on his face for him, and pulled his daughter with one hand and the young man out with the other.
Liu Cun had already fixed the two bundles of hay on the horse's back, turned around and picked up the child from Lin's side, smiled at the shy little girl, turned to Lin and asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”
Seeing Lin Shi shaking his head again and again, Liu Cun turned to the young man whose tears had not dried: "Do you know how to ride a horse, boy?" ”
The young man quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and slightly straightened his thin chest: "I have never ridden a horse, I have ridden a cow." ”
Liu Cun pulled him and strode out to the green horse: "Just ride the bull, wait a while, you and Miss Lin will ride a horse with Xiao Niuniu in your arms, watch more, take your time and don't be in a hurry, it is estimated that you will get used to it after walking a few miles." ”
Half an hour later, Lin Shi, who was wrapped in a thick linen coat on horseback, finally breathed a sigh of relief, she gently pulled the thick linen clothes covering her head, shook off the thick snowflakes on it, turned her head to look at the excited young man holding her sleeping daughter behind her, remembering Liu Cun's powerful and careful move when she got on the horse, and her whole heart pounded again.
Unconsciously, her eyes quietly fell on Liu Cun, who was walking and talking with another minions behind the side, and then pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two, but the conversation between the two was very low, and the cold wind blew snowflakes, she couldn't hear a word clearly what Liu Cun said, but felt that the faint thick voice was so pleasant and reassuring.
Liu Cun and his entourage walked and stopped on the winding path, and when they encountered a complex section covered by snow, Liu Cun would use the halberd in his hand to carefully investigate before leaving, so it was not until the sky was getting dark that he walked out of more than 30 miles, and when he turned out of the forest trail and came to the fork at the foot of the mountain, the horses and everyone were too tired.
Fortunately, the snow also stopped, Liu Cun climbed the low slope next to the road, looked at the deserted mottled fields and mountains in front of him, and then looked around at the snow-capped mountains on the left and right, and soon saw that under the stone wall half a mile in front of the right, there was a sheltered cave, and there was a curtain of white ice hanging on the side of Shandong, which was obviously a small waterfall that was frozen.
The tired and hungry crowd moved again, one of the two minions pulled out his waist knife to explore the way, and the other carefully led the horse to move forward carefully, and soon came to the hole under the stone wall that was only more than three zhang deep, and the two returned to Liu Cun after the inspection, and fortunately said that the cave was dry and spacious enough, but I was afraid that I couldn't deal with it if I didn't eat.
Liu Cun helped the three people on the horse down, untied the two bundles of hay on the horse's back and threw them into the hole, and instructed the two minions who came to his side: "Get as much dry firewood as you can, and we will spend the night in this cave tonight." ”
The two minions glanced at each other, and the older one stepped forward and whispered: "Lord, if there is no water or food in this place, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay!" ”
"Isn't this water?"
Liu Cun pointed to the icy waterfall, and then pointed to the white mountain peak in the east: "Do you see the leftmost mountain peak in front?" If I'm not mistaken, the above is the beacon tower built by the Qi country back then, there is a river leading to the sea at the foot of the mountain under the beacon tower, if the weather is good, you can clearly see the Dazhu Mountain in the southeast, and it is dozens of miles away from Langya Terrace, although the place is remote, but it is close to the sea and the streams are crisscrossed, there should be a lot of yams and wild things on the mountain, and it is easy to find and safer to eat, let's walk slowly along the trail, at most two days can walk. ”
"But there's nothing to eat right now!"
The goatee's face was full of sorrow, the reason why the two of them broke away from the Yellow Turban was that they were unwilling to leave the land where they were born and raised, and secondly, they were impressed by Liu Cun's strong courage, and felt that they should leave the Yellow Turban, where the future was difficult and uncertain, and they might be able to live longer by following Liu Cun.
Liu Cun waved his hand impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, do whatever you are told to do." ”
The two minions hurriedly bent down and bowed their heads, took a few steps backwards and looked at each other, and walked dejectedly to the forest behind them.
As soon as they took a dozen steps, they heard a loud blow behind them, and the two minions turned back in fright, and were shocked to see that the green horse had fallen to the ground and convulsed.
Liu Cun, who was standing majestically beside the green horse, had a painful face, staring blankly at the horses that were gradually losing their vitality, and then looked at the halberd in his hand that was almost broken, and suddenly screamed, and threw the halberd in his hand into the black mountain stream below him.
