Chapter 372: The Earth Dragon Turned Over
Xiao Mo walked fast in front, and the entourage chased for a long distance, but they didn't catch up, so they were so anxious that they shouted behind: "Your Majesty, wait for us, where are you going?" ”
"I'm hungry, I'm going to find something to eat in the village." Xiao Mo didn't say anything back, but ran faster, like the wind halfway up the mountain.
The Miao Min guide knew that it was broken, and if Xiao Mo broke into the village at will, he would be annoyed. A year ago, a large number of Miao people were not very optimistic about "Houliang", and they were forcibly relocated here and started from scratch. The original fertile land is gone, and it has become the official land of the government, and it has to pay taxes to the government.
The Miao people under the mountain yearn for peace and do not want to be involved in war, and they have always been very wary of outsiders, not to mention food, and even their lives will be lost. The guide interspersed through the path and finally caught up with Xiao Miao.
"Your Majesty......" the guide said breathlessly.
"Why are you so nervous?" Xiao Mo looked back, stepped on the air, rolled down from the "Hundred Steps", and hit a tree on the side of the road before stopping.
"Oh no, something happened to the emperor—" The guide shouted to the mountain, and then galloped to the place where Xiao Mo fell. As soon as the guide approached Xiao Miao, he carried Xiao Mo to a gazebo and laid him flat on the bench of the gazebo, just wanting to check his injuries.
Suddenly, lightning and thunder, a strong wind, and then heavy rain poured, and the mountains became foggy, and the visibility was less than five meters, and there was a loud noise underground, and the whole mountain began to tremble.
"The earth dragon has turned over......" came out of the guide's mouth. Look at it again, the stones accompanied by mud rushed towards the gazebo, because the big trees around the gazebo were blocked, and the big stones did not knock down the gazebo, but only scattered some small stones, and the muddy water continued to flow to the ground of the gazebo.
In fact, it is not a ground dragon turning over, but a small earthquake here, coupled with heavy rain, which led to landslides and mudslides. The dozen or so followers were running on the stone steps, naturally unable to dodge, and were all trapped on the mountain by the mud, no matter how they called for help, it was useless. Who will come to save them?
The strong shock woke Xiao Miao, he slowly opened his eyes and saw that standing in front of him was a "strange" face, and he was shocked: "Who are you?" ”
"Your Majesty, I'm the guide Luo Chuan." Miao Min replied.
"Luo Chuan?" Xiao Mo rubbed his buzzing head.
"That's right." Luo Chuan nodded.
"Where am I?" Xiao Mo seems to have a problem with his brain
"Your Majesty......"
"Ahem, ahem—" Xiao Mo struggled to sit up, just about to say something.
"Your Majesty, don't move." Luo Chuan saw that one of Xiao Miao's legs was bleeding.
Splitting –
With a loud bang, an ancient tree not far from the pavilion collapsed and smashed onto the top of the pavilion impartially.
Luo Chuan dropped the firewood knife in his hand, and rushed out of the pavilion with Xiao Mo on his back. Strange to say, the trunk of the big tree leaned against the edge of the pavilion, and was actually hung by three or four vines with the thick mouth of the bowl, and did not fall down again.
"God forbid—" Xiao Mo trembled on Luo Chuan's back.
"Your Majesty, this place should not stay for long." Luo Chuan put down Xiao Mill, ran to the pavilion and picked up the firewood knife, and then picked up Xiao Mill again and walked down the mountain step by step. The rain was still falling, and with every step of movement, it was muddy.
Xiao Mo was much taller than Luo Chuan, and he always let him walk on his back, and he couldn't bear it: "Brother Luo, I can walk by myself, let me down." ”
"It's just that your leg hurts." Luo Chuan put Xiao Mo down and kicked a breath, "Your Majesty, wait a minute, I'll get you a crutch." ”
"Ugh." Xiao Mo leaned against a small tree. Soon Luo Chuan cut down a beech, peeled it, shaved it smooth, made it into a crutch, and handed it to Xiao Mill.
Taking the crutches, Xiao Mo tried to take two steps, but felt that his thigh bone was broken, and he couldn't help shouting "Ahh
"Brother, I can't go." Xiao Mill's face was embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, don't be reckless." Luo Chuan had no choice but to squat down and let Xiao Mo lie on his back again.
"Brother, why do you always call me Your Majesty?" Xiao Mo asked.
"You are the emperor of the Liang Kingdom, of course you are Your Majesty."
"I'm just a ...... who sells books for a living," Xiao Mian vaguely remembered the scene of selling books when he was a teenager.
"Oh. But your attendants call you the Emperor. ”
"I brought an entourage? Where are they? Xiao Mo looked around, but didn't see anyone else.
Luo Chuan knew that this sudden outbreak of "Earth Dragon Turnover" was likely to have "swallowed" all of the more than a dozen entourages, life and death were unpredictable, Xiao Mill's life was great, otherwise it would be the same fate.
"I also served as a Luochuan County magistrate for a few years...... Luo Chuan, have you heard of it? All-encompassing Luo, endless river. Xiao Mo said suddenly, "But I can't remember the rest of it." ”
"If you can't think of it, don't think about it. I know that you are the emperor of the Great Liang Kingdom. Luo Chuan smiled, "But what you said is too coincidental, Luochuan County is the same as my name." ”
"Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty is my uncle, and he has died in Jiangdu......"
Maybe he lost too much blood, Xiao Mo said, his voice getting quieter and quieter, almost inaudible. Luo Chuan carried Xiao Mo on his back, feeling that his body was getting heavier and heavier.
Half an hour later, the rain finally stopped, and a rainbow hung in the sky. It was only eight miles of mountain road, and Luo Chuan walked for a full hour with Xiao Mo on his back.
At the foot of the mountain, Luo Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, more than half of the rice fields waiting to be harvested were covered with sediment and soil and stones. The fields planted by Luo Chuan are by the stream, all of them are scrapped, and there is no harvest, but he is still thinking about whether others have food to eat, so he is worried about it.
Luo Chuan put Xiao Mill, who had fainted, on the side of the road, and sighed for a long time: Alas, my field, my field, is gone......
"Brother Luo Chuan, what are you sighing for?" It just so happened that a Miao bachelor surnamed Xiao came over with firewood on his back.
"Four dogs, come and help me......" Luo Chuan pointed to Xiao Mo on the side of the road.
"Why do you bring people into our stockade casually?" The dead dog was very angry when he saw Xiao Miao's Han costume, with a sword and sachet on his body.
"This brother, he ......," Luo Chuan wanted to say but stopped.
"Have you forgotten how those Han people treated us?" The four dogs threw away the firewood, pulled out the firewood knife, and stepped forward to kill the unconscious Xiao Miao.
"Four dogs, stop for me-" Luo Chuan jumped up and grabbed the firewood knife that the four dogs were about to fall.
"Let me kill him—" The four dogs growled.
"You can't kill him." Luo Chuan shouted, "These hundreds of acres of fertile land were all ordered by this person to be cultivated by the army with us. He was the emperor of the Liang State......"
"Ah, he's the emperor? Impossible, right? When the four dogs heard this, they were so frightened that the firewood knife in their hands fell to the ground, because Fang Cai's own recklessness almost caused a catastrophe.
"You dead dog, if you go down, our whole village will be finished!" Luo Chuan reprimanded the four dogs.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" The dead dog pouted.
"Do I have a chance to say? Your fiery temper. Luo Chuan poked the bridge of the nose of the four dogs, "Use your brains to do things in the future, don't shout and kill at every turn." ”
"Uh, got it." The four dogs hurriedly ran over and helped Xiao Mian up.
Luo Chuan was still thinking that those entourages on the mountain had not come down yet: "Four dogs, this emperor will be handed over to you, and I have to ask someone to go up the mountain......"
After speaking, Luo Chuan entered the village, organized forty or fifty people, and went to the Guanyin Cave again to find Xiao Miao's entourage who was stranded there......
The four dogs carried Xiao Mi into the house, put him on the sleeping bunk covered with straw, and then found some herbs, and quickly stopped Xiao Miao's bleeding and connected the leg bones.
The four dogs looked at the unconscious Xiao Mo again, and knew that it was excessive blood loss that caused him to faint, but he was suffering from the poverty at home and no rice to cook. The only one left was half a bowl of sweet wine, which was intended to be used to greet guests on the first day of the new year, but saving lives was important in front of him, so he didn't think about it in a hurry, so he cooked half a bowl of sweet wine first, but he thought about how this sweet wine could make Xiao Mo full.
Xiao Sigou remembered that there was still a golden gourd left on the kang, so he was busy taking off the golden gourd on the kang, peeling and chopping it into sweet wine and cooking it, serving it and feeding it to Xiao Mill, so Xiao Mill was able to survive. After a few days of recuperation, Xiao Mo was full of energy, his strength was restored, and he hurriedly asked the name of his benefactor.
"Just call me four dogs." The four dogs were happy, thinking, today saved me and saved this down-and-out emperor, and he will be grateful in the future.
The four dogs brought the only big buffalo in the family and let Xiao Mo ride back to the station. After Xiao Mo returned to the city, the wine and meat were tasteless, and the only thing he missed was the golden gourd sweet wine he had eaten in Katian.
One day, Xiao Mo ordered the cook to make it according to the sweet wine he had eaten in Katian that day. can eat in the mouth, without the sweetness of the day, blame the chef for not having skills, that is, drag the chef into the lobby and beat 20 boards.
The next day, a chef was called to cook again, but he still couldn't make the taste of the day, and the chef was beaten again. At this time, the strategist thought of a way and sent his men down to Katian to invite back Xiao Sigou, who had made golden melon sweet wine that day.
Xiao Sigou came to the county office, Xiao Mo learned that the benefactor had arrived, and hurriedly got up to greet him, and after the ceremony, Xiao Sigou cooked and began to make gourd sweet wine.
Xiao Mo watched with him, and Xiao Sigou said to Xiao Mo while doing it, he had something to ask for, and I hope the emperor will be exempted.
Xiao Mo replied: "Engong just said, no matter what, he will be exempted." ”
Xiao Sigou smiled and said: Your Majesty, you mistakenly beat two chefs, in fact, they make a better taste than mine, but you don't understand a reason.
Xiao Mo asked: What is the reason? Eun Gong, let's hear it.
Xiao Sigou said to Xiao Miao: If you want to eat fragrant and sweet gourd sweet wine, starve for three days before eating sweet wine. You will feel the delicious taste of the dessert wine of the day.
Xiao Milling realized the truth of "hungry rice is more fragrant", and rewarded ten taels of silver and a maid to Xiao Sigou, and was reluctant to say goodbye.
Xiao Sigou rode a buffalo, took his daughter-in-law, returned to Katian, and told the clan the recipe for making golden melon sweet wine, which was passed down from generation to generation. And Luo Chuan also because of his meritorious service in saving Xiao Mill, he was directly sent to the station by Xiao Mill, gave him the military position of a school captain, and followed Xiao Mill to fight the country together.
