Chapter 106: Uprooted
Ask for flowers and collections
On a barren path, a thin young man was staring at Lie Yue and walking ahead. I saw that this young man was dressed in tatters, and his hair was scattered, and he looked like a beggar. He carried a burden on his back and a wooden stick in his hand.
"Phew. It's really unlucky, waiting for such a long time, just waiting for a beggar. In the woods on the side of the road, a big man in ragged clothes spat on his spit, poked the steel knife in his hand on the ground, and looked at the beggars on the road, quite colorful.
"Big brother, I've been waiting for two hours, just like this, rob it." The little brother on the side said without opening his eyes.
"Robbing your head, as far as he is dressed, he is not as good as me, what can he rob." The man, who was called the eldest brother, glared at the younger brother, felt that he was still angry, and stretched out his hand to hit him again. But he felt that the beating was not too enjoyable, so the big brother started evil from his heart and gradually evolved into a violent beating.
In the face of the murderous eldest brother, the younger brother was quite aggrieved, but who made the family the eldest brother and the younger brother. can only silently endure the violence of the eldest brother. Seeing that the little brother was beaten by the eldest brother, the rest of the little brothers were all palpitating, and at the same time they were very happy, but fortunately it was not themselves who were beaten.
After hitting the little brother a few more times, the eldest brother felt that his anger was smoother and his mood was much better. "Forget it, go back. If you wait any longer, there will be no hair. The eldest brother pursed his lips and looked at the barren path, which was really uninteresting. Pulled out the steel knife on the ground and left with a group of younger brothers.
"Huh~~" Glancing at the distant movement in the forest, the beggar took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and quickened his pace to move forward.
That's right, the blue-clad and unkempt beggar in front of him is Zhao Fei, who left Zhending City and went to Yingchuan. This costume was specially prepared by Zhao Fei, and the purpose was to hide as a beggar and avoid some unnecessary troubles. You must know that although it has not yet reached the era of the late Han Dynasty, there will still be bandits who have already robbed. If you don't have some means to hide yourself, then Zhao Fei will definitely not be able to reach Yingchuan and be in a different place. Obviously, Zhao Fei's outfit is still good. At least I deceived a group of unknown bandits.
You must know that the burden behind Zhao Fei is a map of the late Han Dynasty that Zhou Meng spent a lot of money to get. Not to mention that there were a lot of gold leaves stuffed by Zhou Meng inside. Zhou Meng felt quite sorry for his second brother, for fear that Zhao Fei would not have enough money to spend all the way, and the gold would be stuffed into Zhao Fei's burden as if it was worthless. If it weren't for Zhao Fei's final argument that he really couldn't do that, Zhou Meng might have made some drastic moves. Anyway, in the burden behind Zhao Fei now, except for the "Huangshi Gong Sanluo" handed over to him by the village chief, a piece of broken clothes, everything else is money.
As the sun sets, a village appears in the afterglow of the setting sun. Zhao Fei wiped the sweat from his head, and a happy smile appeared on his face. Seeing the village, Zhao Fei knew that he didn't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight. Here he picked up his pace, trying to reach the village before dark.
The hard work paid off, and after his unremitting efforts, Zhao Fei really entered the village before dark.
The village is not big, only about 20 households, which should be about the same size as Zhaojia Village. Thinking of Zhaojia Village, Zhao Fei's expression darkened.
"Who is Xiaoyou, and what are you doing in my Xu Village?" Just when Zhao Fei fell into infinite contemplation of Zhaojia Village, an old but very calm voice came from the side again. Hearing the sound, he turned his head to look and found an old man staring at Zhao Fei with a smile.
Zhao Fei hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fei to meet my father-in-law, Fei is from Zhaojia Village, Changshan County. Some time ago, the village was badly robbed, and the whole village was slaughtered without a single mouthful. I also survived because I went to the city. Now that he is helpless, he plans to go to Yingchuan to seek refuge with his relatives for a certain way of life. Passing through here, looking for a place to sleep. Saying that, Zhao Fei thought of the tragic ending of Zhaojia Village, and thought of the ups and downs he had been talking about, leaving two lines of tears.
Seeing this, Lao Tzu hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade: "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry." They are all hard-working people. If you don't dislike it, go to the old man's house. ”
"How can you dislike it, it's too late to be happy." Zhao Fei wiped the tears on his face, calmed down his mood and said.
"Let's go this way." As he spoke, the old man waited for Zhao Fei to walk towards his house.
My father-in-law's name is Xu Hui, and he is the village chief of Xu Village, and he has reached the age of 54 this year. But now he is alone. His only son joined the army in his early years, and he has been gone for five years, and he didn't even hear from him, and he didn't know if he died in battle or what happened. My wife became ill and got sick, but she didn't get timely treatment, and she died not long after.
The more the old and the young talked, the more sad they became, so that the two of them almost cried before they reached Old Xu's yard. Fortunately, Zhao Fei controlled his emotions and endured it, otherwise the old and the young would really not be able to control it.
On the way to Xu's hometown, many villagers took the initiative to greet Xu. Obviously, Xu Lao, the village chief, is still very prestigious in the village. As for the beggar behind the village chief, the people in the village did not say much. Everyone knows that Xu Lao is lonely, so the old man is very kind-hearted, and when he sees someone who is more pitiful than himself, he wants to help, obviously this beggar is also kindly taken in by the village chief.
When I came to the village chief's house, the house was very poor, and there was no extra furniture.
Xu Lao obviously realized it, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Fei don't dislike it, in order to see his wife a few years ago, the family has been unable to make ends meet. So...... So ......" said Later, Xu Lao's emotions were a little out of control, and he wiped the tears on his face with his rough hands.
"Old Xu, what are you talking about, there is a place to live and fly that is already grateful, how can you dislike it." Zhao Fei hurriedly went up to dissuade him, and Xu Lao restrained his emotions.
"Let Xiaofei show you the joke." Wiping away the tears on his face, Xu Lao grinned.
Looking at the wrinkles on Xu Lao's face and his snow-white silver hair. Zhao Fei couldn't help but think of his teacher, the village chief. The tip of the nose is a little pantothenic acid. Touching the three bamboo slips in the baggage behind him, Zhao Fei got some comfort again. "This is the only thing that the teacher keeps for himself, which contains the teacher's belief and the teacher's expectations. Don't worry, teacher, Fei will definitely go back with fame and avenge this sea of blood for you. The Zhang family waits, and when I return, it will be the end of the house. Thinking of this, Zhao Fei couldn't help but be murderous, and there was a devouring light in his eyes.
"Xiaofei, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Zhao Fei's solemn expression, Xu Lao couldn't help but ask with some fear.
"Ahh Zhao Fei came back to his senses. He glanced at Xu Lao apologetically and said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm a little homesick." ”
"Alas~~" Old Xu sighed and touched Zhao Fei's head. "Good boy, people still have to look forward. You rest first, I'll go cook. ”
Zhao Fei wanted to go up to help, but was dissuaded by Xu Lao. Helpless, Zhao Fei sat on the bed alone. I looked at it through the dim light.
Seeing that Zhao Fei still had a book in his baggage, Xu Lao's eyes flashed with a hint of the same look. But without saying anything more, he turned and walked out.
"Xiaofei, it's time to eat." Old Xu's voice came from outside, and Zhao Fei sent down the book in his hand, and walked out.
On the table, a bowl of steaming rice, a plate of wild vegetables, and two eggs. It seems very simple, but for Xu Lao's two eggs, they can be regarded as all the net worth.
"Old Xu, ...... are you" Looking at the two eggs on the table, Zhao Fei looked the same.
"Huh." Xu Lao smiled innocently, and then said with an apologetic expression: "Looking around, I can only find these two eggs." Xiaofei, don't dislike it. ”
"Old Xu, you are too polite." As he spoke, Zhao Fei rubbed his eyes and tried his best to keep himself calm.
"Okay, let's eat. If you don't eat it again, it will be cold. As he spoke, Xu Lao pushed the rice on the table.
"Old Xu, don't you want to eat?" Zhao Fei picked up the bowl and asked.
"Hehe, I've already eaten it. You eat it. Old Xu glanced at Zhao Fei kindly and said.
"That's good." Seeing that Xu Lao insisted on not eating, Zhao Fei could only give up and eat by himself.
"You'll eat that egg when you get there." Seeing that Zhao Fei didn't eat eggs, Xu Lao was a little anxious and hurriedly said.
"I'll eat it later." Zhao Fei raised his head and said, and then continued to eat rice. After eating, Zhao Fei kicked the two eggs.
"Xiaofei, what are you?" Xu Lao asked suspiciously.
"When I'm hungry in the evening, I'll eat again, and now I'm a little reluctant." Zhao Fei smiled. Seeing Zhao Fei say this, Xu Lao didn't know what he was talking about.
