"Majesty is here, majesty is here!" The arrival of Liu Wei and Tao Huanniang made the entire Taojiazhuang boil.

The children of Taojiazhuang, since they could understand the adults, the adults in the village would tell them the story of the emperor when he lived in Taojiazhuang.

Of course, in the descriptions of adults, Liu Wei is an outright positive image, while the old people who have obstructed Liu Wei appear as negative images one by one.

The old people don't understand people's feelings, and they don't know the good intentions of their majesty, and they are the ones who tell stories like to describe more.

Some of the old people who participated in the construction of the waterwheel are still alive, and every time they hear the story, they all sit on the side with a smile and a groan, and they are not annoyed that they have become villains.

When the children asked them about the past, as the storyteller said, they would always smile and nod their heads, and they would not shy away from acknowledging it.

The emperor lived in Taojiazhuang for some time, and what made Taojiazhuang feel even more glorious was that Zhuangzi not only produced a deputy general of the three guards of the Han army, but also an imperial concubine!

The entire Taojiazhuang is treated as a royal family, and many nearby villages are also proud to be able to marry Taojiazhuang.

The arrival of Liu Wei and Tao Huanniang is very exciting news for the villagers of Taojiazhuang.

Many people ran out of the village, and men and women waded across the river to meet Liu Wei and the others.

Seeing that many villagers in the village waded across the river and ran straight to Liu Wei and Tao Huanniang, Wang Zhen was about to ask the guards to go to stop him, but was stopped by Liu Wei.

Holding his fists, Liu Wei had a smile on his face, and arched his hands towards the villagers who were wading in the water and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, how are the villagers?" ”

After crossing the river, the villagers did not rush to the front of Liu Wei, they knelt on the ground one after another, and the elders kneeling in front wept bitterly and shouted: "Taojiazhuang three hundred and seventy-six mouths, kneel to welcome His Majesty and the imperial concubine back to their hometown!" ”

Striding forward and helping the elder up, Liu Wei looked at the crowd kneeling in front of him and shouted to them: "Folks, get up!" When I and Huanniang come here, it's like going home, it's my own family, and I don't need too many clichés! ”

Liu Wei said this, and the villagers who were kneeling on the ground got up one after another.

His eyes swept over the faces of many villagers, and Liu Wei said: "It has been many years since I left here, and many familiar villagers, I'm afraid I won't see them anymore!" ”

"Some old people are gone!" The old man who was supported by Liu Wei said to him respectfully: "Many naughty children back then have also grown up!" Now that the world has been pacified, Taojiazhuang is a relative of His Majesty, so how can he not help His Majesty! The teenagers in the village, as long as they are adults, will go to join the army, but now in the village, there are only some big daughters and daughters-in-law, as well as children and useless old people! ”

Listening to what the old man said, Liu Wei couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart, clasped his hand and said: "The feelings of the villagers for me, I remember it in my heart!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not just to the door of the house, or to go home and talk!" was held by Liu Wei, and the old man said to him: "Little Lao'er, let the villagers prepare some wine and food......

"It's just food and drink!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei said to the old man: "Back then, when I was in Zhuangzi, the villagers would divide the meat in large pieces at night, and then drink a lot of wine, I don't know if there is such a scene?" ”

"Yes! Yes! Liu Bianti mentioned the days he spent in Taojiazhuang, the old man hurriedly said: "Although the villagers now have fields, waterwheel irrigation is also to make the fields no longer drought, the government levied taxes on the villagers, every year is only one percent of the harvest, just farming can live a moisturizing life, the villagers read the good of His Majesty, but still often go to the mountains and forests to hunt some wild beasts, and at night, and everyone to share a point, not for another, just for the time when His Majesty Xià was here, the villagers are like this!" ”

"Today's descendants happened to hunt a few wolves!" Raising his hand and pointing at Taojiazhuang on the other side of the river, the old man said to Liu Wei: "The villagers are about to divide the meat, and His Majesty happened to come, just in time!" ”

"The offspring of a wolf hunt?" Hearing that Taojiazhuang's descendants had hunted wolves, Liu Wei smiled and said, "Do you want to see them?" ”

Liu Wei wanted to see the offspring of the wolf hunters, and the old man hurriedly waved to the crowd and shouted: "Dog Danzi, come and knock on your majesty!" ”

The old man's shout fell, and out of the crowd came several teenagers who looked to be at most fourteen or fifteen years old.

These teenagers are all dressed in animal skins, which is quite different from the other villagers' attire.

In front of Liu Wei, several juniors knelt on the ground with their legs bent.

They knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say anything, but the old man said to Liu Wei: "The descendants of Taojiazhuang will go to the mountains to hunt at the age of twelve, and they will join the army after sixteen, and in another year or two, they should also go to the army!" ”

Although the few juniors kneeling in front of them are not very old, they are all strong, and they have two-handed martial arts at a glance.

Raising his hand at them, Liu Wei smiled slightly and asked them: "The villagers are all wearing kudzu cloth clothes, why do you have to wear animal skins?" ”

This time, the old man did not open his mouth, and the young man he called the dog Danzi hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Back to your majesty, Taojiazhuang used to be an Orion village, and your Majesty had rescued the old and young in the village back then, and I was still young at that time, and I couldn't help Your Majesty, but now as an adult, I just want to maintain the nature of Orion, stay on the battlefield and kill more enemy soldiers, and make contributions to Your Majesty!" ”

"Good!" Patting the dog on the shoulder, Liu Wei said with a smile: "The big man has strong men like you, why worry about the world being uneasy?" ”

After praising the dog, Liu Wei turned back to Wang Zhen and the others and said, "Do you see it?" The boy in Taojiazhuang is amazing! ”

Wang Zhen and the palace guards all grinned.

While everyone was talking, there were already villagers who came over from the other side of the river, and the old man who led the villagers to greet Liu Wei said at this time: "Although the river is not deep, Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, don't get wet clothes, or cross the river by boat......"

"How can you cross the river by boat?" Waving his hand, Liu Wei said with a smile: "When I crossed this small river, I not only waded over, but also crossed the river with Tang Ji on my back, and today I will cross the river with Huanniang on my back......"

As he spoke, Liu Wei was about to carry Tao Huanniang.

This frightened Tao Huanniang!

Although she is the imperial concubine, she wants the current emperor to carry her across the river, but Tao Huanniang does not dare.

hurriedly bowed to Liu Wei, Tao Huanniang said: "Your Majesty is like this, how can the concubine be safe?" The concubine never dared to ask His Majesty to cross the river on her back! ”

Tao Huanniang's words were resolute, and Liu Wei also saw that if she wanted to carry her across the river, she was afraid that she would resist to death, so she said: "That's it, that's it!" Since Huanniang doesn't want me to carry it, I will wade across the river with the villagers, as for Huanniang, Wang Zhen, etc., take a boat! ”

Liu Wei wants to wade across the river, except for Tao Huanniang, who can take a boat as an imperial concubine, who dares to get on the boat?

Wang Zhen and the others just responded, but none of them jumped on the boat.

Helping Tao Huanniang onto the boat, Wang Zhen arranged for two guards to accompany the boat to protect her, and she, together with other guards, followed Liu Wei and waded into the river.

Glancing back at Wang Zhen and the others, Liu Wei shook his head with a smile.

Wang Zhen and the guards who followed him here were all loyal to him, but they also had a disadvantage.

These people are a bit brainless, but if he doesn't want to do something, even if he knows that he has to endure a lot of suffering, these people must accompany him to do it.

The river is not very cold, and when he got down the river, Liu Wei took a deep breath and said to Wang Zhen and others behind him: "When you enter the river, you feel all over your body!" ”

"Your Majesty should be careful!" Immediately following Liu Wei, Wang Zhen whispered to him: "The river is too cold, in case you catch a cold......

"I'm not that delicate!" Waving his hand, Liu Wei said to Wang Zhen: "Back then, I also crawled in the mud and fought on the battlefield, not those weak emperors who only knew how to give orders in the palace!" ”

"That's what Your Majesty said!" Liu Wei said this, and Wang Zhen didn't want to say anything more, but followed him closely, alerting him not to slip under his feet.

The river is not very deep, and when one walks down, the deepest part is only the thigh.

When Liu Wei crossed the river, the whole village gathered around him, but the palace guards were squeezed to the back.

The palace guards who were squeezed to the back by the villagers were not easy in their hearts.

They were tasked with protecting the emperor and the imperial concubines, and if something went wrong, they couldn't afford to do that.

Fortunately, Wang Zhen always followed Liu Wei's side, and with Wang Zhen's swordsmanship, ordinary people couldn't get close to Liu Wei for a while, and it was precisely because of this that the palace guards felt a little more at ease.

The mud and sand at the bottom of the river was very soft, and halfway through, Liu Wei suddenly stopped, kicked a few times with his feet, and suddenly squatted down.

Although the river is not deep, if a person squats down, it can still reach the neck.

Liu Bian's squatting frightened the villagers and guards around him, and everyone was about to step forward, only to see Liu Bian wave his hand at them and stand up again.

When Liu Wei stood up, his clothes were completely soaked.

Spreading his palms out, he asked the villagers, "Fellow villagers, have you ever eaten such a thing?" ”

Everyone looked at Liu Wei's hand, and saw that what he was holding was a thing with a very hard shell that looked like a stone that had been twisted several times.

The villagers in Taojiazhuang looked at each other one by one and shook their heads.

"What is this?" Blinking his eyes twice, the old man said to Liu Wei: "There are also a lot of them on the riverbank, but the villagers don't know that this thing can be eaten. ”

"The snails that grow in the paddy fields are called snails, and the ones that grow in the rivers are called snails!" Holding the snail from the bottom of the river, Liu Wei said to the old man: "Cut off the tail, soak it for a day or two, wait until the belly is clean, and cook it with seasonings, the taste is not bad!" ”
