Volume III Chapter XXIV
(So much love for this book, uh very happy.) I hope you can give some flowers, collections, recommendations or something, thank you very much! )
Although the sun has come out, but because it is in a deep valley, it has just rained two days ago, many places are still full of fog, on a slope of the valley, there is a corpse lying quietly, dressed in short clothes, not far away with a medicine hoe, from the outfit, it seems to be a mountain people who went into the mountains to collect medicine. But for some reason, he threw his life here. The man had apparently not been dead for long, because the dampness was heavy, and the blood had not yet completely dried up, and an unknown beast that smelled of blood quietly walked over.
Walking more than ten miles along the deep valley, there was a fire, the grass and firewood were all burnt yellow, but obviously not lit, and there were scattered around the feathers of unknown birds and beasts, stomach intestines, etc., and a few eggshells nearby. A few crooked footprints went diagonally further in.
A little further on, the terrain is much more open, and in front of it is another steep slope, and the sun shines quietly through the treetops, shining with dew on the leaves and on the tips of the grass. One of his boots stepped on the slippery grass, and his footing was unsteady, and he slipped down at once, and the people on the side also slipped down when he saw it.
Lying on the ground was the scarred face of the new knife, although the place where it fell was high, because it was sliding down, there was no injury at all, but there was no strength in the body, and he never remembered it again, just gasping for breath.
But the one who went down after him was the one who was called Dego. When Scarface saw Brother De coming down, he said weakly: "Brother De, I don't have the strength to go anymore." ”
Brother Nade said: "Little San, Hugh wants to say this kind of thing, didn't the medicine farmer say it last night, go forward for another day, it will be the main road, there will be a post station on the road, and when you get to the post station, wouldn't it be good?" When we send Liu Jizi to Chengdu, don't we want anything yet? It is said that there are many beautiful women in Xichuan, maybe there are many stronger ones than your good looks. ”
Hearing this, the scarred face became a little alive and said, "Why don't I know? It's just that I ate the vegetable farmer's chaff last night, how can I eat it? I only ate half of it. I caught a few stupid birds this morning, but there are only flints and fires, but they can't be caught in any way, so they have to eat them raw, don't hide it from Brother De, I'm still disgusted now, or lie here, I'll have to vomit. I knew that if I left the medicine farmer alive, I might be able to lead the fire, better than eating this life. ”
Brother Nade said: "What do I have to taste, if I hadn't met that medicine farmer, we would have made that Liu Zhenzi last night, take his head and find someone to receive the reward, and we would go back to His Highness to pay the errand." ”
It turned out that Liu Pi and others were wandering around in this mountain yesterday, and actually met a medicine farmer who went into the mountains to collect medicine, and asked where this was, the medicine farmer lived in the mountains, and he had only been to the market on the side of the mountain to sell medicinal herbs all his life, where did he know which county this was, and after asking for a long time, he explained that he went out along the valley, there was a post station, and there was a barracks of the Xichuan army.
Liu Pi was overjoyed at the moment, promised a heavy reward, and asked the medicine farmer to take them over. It's just that these five people are holding sharp blades, their faces are hideous, their bodies are covered with blood, and most of them have foreign accents, and the medicine farmers only say that they are bandits who came in from outside, and they don't believe that Liu Pi is a big official of the Jiedu Embassy, so they refuse to lead the way, and only say that the distance is not far, and they want to collect medicine, and they don't agree to force him with a knife, so they have to touch it themselves. Liu Pi couldn't get angry, and he was worried that this medicine farmer would meet someone who came to arrest him when he went into the mountains, so he took advantage of the medicine farmer's unpreparedness and chopped it over with a knife. A few people hastily dealt with each other for a night, and then found their way.
While the two were talking, Liu Bi's voice on the slope sounded: "Two, you can't leave yet, if you don't leave, you won't be able to get there today." Since he knew that Xichuan was in sight, Liu Bi's confidence was much stronger, although he was still polite to these four people, his official authority was revealed from time to time.
The two looked at each other with some resentment, then got up from the ground and climbed up the slope.
After walking for a long time, several people were already so hungry that their chests were close to their backs, only Liu Pi was very interested, pointing out the customs and customs of Bashu, and frequently sealing officials and making wishes, and finally coaxed a few people to the mouth of the valley.
A few people sat down to rest in a forest, there was a mountain spring by the woods, and the guards of the Shu Wangfu were lying down by the spring, drinking from the cow, and then lying on the ground, throwing the sword aside, and the belly went up and down, shouting: "Refreshing!" Liu Bi went to the other end to find a stream, washed his face with water by the stream, and after washing his face, he took off his soft armor and washed it, and dusted the plaster off his clothes.
Several people rested in the forest for a while, and when Liu Pi came back, they were about to stand up with their swords. As soon as he was standing, he heard someone shouting outside the forest:
"Listen to the turtle sons in the forest, grandpa's sons have surrounded you, don't move, otherwise, grandpa will shoot you turtle sons with an arrow."
A few people had just escaped from the pursuit, but when they encountered this kind of thing, they only met the bandits, and they immediately cried bitterly, and they wanted to escape, but they didn't dare. Liu Pi saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly replied:
"I don't know which road this lord is, we are merchants who have entered the mountains, we have lost our way, our horses and goods have been lost, and we hope to be accommodating."
There was a "puff" outside, and the voice said again: "Ge Laozi, how can the turtle son be born with a Chengdu accent." Lao Tzu thought it was a bandit from Shannan. You kid Hugh wants to show off in front of Lao Tzu, pretending to be a city person, Ge Laozi is a general under Wei Taiwei's account, two months ago, Wei Taiwei's deputy envoy Liu passed by Lao Tzu here, Chengdu dialect is more authentic than you want, quickly put down the sword, and capture it. ”
It turns out that Liu Bijun Wangpengcheng, not a Sichuan person, can gain a foothold in Xichuan, is the best at buying people's hearts, what people meet is his specialty, listening to outsiders say this, I remembered that when I went out of Sichuan and entered Chang'an two months ago, I did sell a few words of Chengdu in a military camp on the side of Sichuan. Immediately said:
"This general, do you know Deputy Envoy Liu under the account of Taiwei Wei?"
"Which turtle son can't lie to you? Deputy Envoy Liu was going to Chang'an to play tricks, but Lao Tzu sent him out. ”
When Liu Bi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and several people around him also relaxed.
The general outside was strange and said, "What are you laughing at, turtle son?" ”
Liu Bi didn't answer, but Brother Nade said sharply: "Turtle son, open your turtle eyes and see who this one is in front of you?" ”
When the general heard this, he was puzzled and hurriedly shouted, "You must not move." Come in with me. ”
When he entered the woods, he saw a dwarf with his head raised to the sky, and he didn't even look at him. This is not Liu Bi, which one?
The general was just a low-level general in the borderland, he had only seen Liu Pi two months ago, plus Liu Bi had been running for his life for more than ten days, his face was very haggard, not as ruddy as that day, but he vaguely felt like it, but he didn't dare to admit it, he just said tentatively:
"Deputy Envoy Liu, could it really be you?"
Liu Bi was waiting for the general to see the salute, but when he heard him say this, he was annoyed, but he had to take out his identity certificate. The general looked at it for a long time, checked it correctly, but still didn't see the courtesy, just turned around and slapped the colonel behind him, and scolded:
"Ge Laozi, Lao Tzu said that it can't be a thief, and your turtle son didn't say that your brother-in-law saw it with his own eyes. Okay, right? offended Lord Liu, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu and tell the brothers to close the team. Then call your hapless brother-in-law to heal those dog-eyed eyes. By the way, he kicked the little school again, kicking the little school to the ground.
The little school wanted to say, "I didn't ......," but when he saw the general winking at him, he hurriedly swallowed the second half of his words, got up and ran out.
"Lao Tzu can't spare you a turtle son!" The general scolded the colonel's back again, and when he saw the colonel running out, he turned around stupidly, changed his smile and said:
"See Deputy Envoy Liu!"
