Chapter 139: The so-called fellow, turn over old accounts
When those brothers saw that Zhao Yun had brought the so-called 'fellow countryman', they hurriedly vacated a table for that person to prepare and frowned, and a touching remark had already begun to brew in their hearts. Zhuge Liang's eyes were still focused on Xiang Xia and how she reacted.
"My lord." Zhao Yun clasped his fists and saluted.
"Zilong, people have brought it. Is this your fellow summer buddy? Liu Bei asked.
Zhao Yun didn't know how to answer, saying yes and no, saying no and no.
"Fellow?" The people who followed behind Zhao Yun were also puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask more.
"Hurry up and call the fellows to take a seat, they have specially made a seat for the fellows." Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand.
When the man saw that there was good food and good wine, he was already salivating, and he couldn't wait to take his seat. Zhao Yun reminded him loudly: "When you see the lord, you need to salute." ”
"This... See you—" The man stopped, a little bewildered, and his speech became stammering.
"Well, it doesn't have to. My fellow claims to be a 'grass people', but I was never a 'grass people'. I think I was born as a mat weaver, and although I was poor and humble at that time, the joy of freedom was the most real, and now it is difficult to experience that taste again. Even now, I am just a 'grass people', like many fellow villagers, and like the people of the world. Those 'lords' and 'Uncle Liu Huang' are all from the world, and they are all given to me by you. Without all of you here, without the people of the world, there would be no Liu Bei today. How could Liu Bei be embarrassed to receive a big gift from his fellow countrymen again? Liu Bei's words moved everyone present. Xiang Summer, who had settled down, was finally relieved, and his nose was sour. I don't know if I was really moved by Liu Bei, or if I was glad to be moved.
"Don't hurry up and call the fellow to take a seat, don't stand stupidly." Liu Bei smiled with satisfaction, waved his sleeves and ordered.
The man took his seat with the reminders and instructions of the attendants on both sides, and soon another servant brought fresh food and drink. Zhao Yun also took a seat, and after sitting down, he was obviously relieved. Needless to say, Xiang Xia thought that it was lucky, fortunately it wasn't him.
Xiang Xia was reassured, and after his anxious heart calmed down, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. It's that she's too nervous, and when she thinks about it, how could it be him... Remembering what he said the last time they parted, he said that from now on there are only 'people in the distance'. He is Cao Cao, such a good-faced and proud person, how could he put down his body and come to look for her again? The two of them are already strangers, and it should never be possible to cross paths again. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a sense of relief, but there was some indescribable sourness... After all, he had been kind and helpful to himself, where she could see or could not see, when she was in distress or when she was her enemy. Yes, they are enemies, and they have traveled thousands of miles to find them. Even if, even if.. She couldn't bear to do it, but the spears of everyone else in this hall were eager to devour his blood and gnaw at his bones.
also blamed him, who made every appearance of him unexpected, which made her frightened and at a loss. Even though Nagasakapo had speculated his identity in advance, when she saw him in person, she was still a little shocked and couldn't believe it.
"Zilong, who is he?" After Zhao Yun sat down, Xiang Xia hurriedly leaned over and asked.
"Doesn't the lady know him either?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise.
"I... Didn't know him. Xiang Xia frowned, and then looked at the man carefully. She really didn't remember the man.
"Are you sure?" Zhao Yun's face became solemn, and he continued: "This person claims to have known the lady and has given her some help. Now that the army is in chaos and displaced, he wants to beg for food. When I saw that he was pitiful, and heard him say that he had helped his wife, I brought him in. It's also bad to the main bus..."
Xiang Xia was a little hesitant at this time, she was not sure. He began to look at the man as he thought about it.
"If the lady can't remember, don't force it, let him finish this meal first, and I'll ask someone to give him some silver taels later." Zhao Yun comforted her.
"Hmm...", he nodded to Summer's contemplation.
That person is really unkind, and it will be difficult to stop eating and drinking. In the middle, Liu Bei wanted to talk to him, but the man only focused on eating. And all the people went with him, and ate and drank to themselves.
When the man put down the wooden chopstick, Liu Bei shushed him for a while, and those who didn't know thought that this person was Liu Bei's fellow countryman: "I heard that there is a problem in this time to come to meet Zilong and Summer, I don't know what difficulties I encountered?" Is there anything I need help with? ”
"Hiccup!" the man burped rudely, and his face flushed a lot after he had eaten and drunk. I patted my head, as if I had forgotten something serious. Hurriedly smiled and replied: "Back to Uncle Liu, the grass people didn't mean to disturb Uncle Liu's feast, but the grass people were really hungry and difficult, and in desperation, they had to come to General Zhao's mansion for help. I really don't hide it from Uncle Liu Huang and the generals, the grass people and the 'summer' girl in Uncle Liu Huang's mouth had an acquaintance, and the grass people were not talented, and they helped the summer girl. Therefore, the grass people came here today, hoping to get some charity from the summer girl. ”
His words were clear and fluent, which was somewhat inconsistent with his sinister appearance. Huh, wait... The thief's eyebrows and rat's eyes seem to be somewhat familiar.
"Oh? Have you helped in the summer? Do you need help in the quirky summer? Liu Bei quipped curiously.
"Back to Uncle Liu Huang, what the grass people said was true, and they didn't dare to deceive. The summer girl had indeed been helped by the grass people, who had been the shopkeeper of the inn, and one day the summer girl helped a boy to come to my inn to stay overnight. The boy was seriously injured at the time, and the summer girl should have been a doctor who knew how to do medicine, and the grass people had helped her prepare some supplies and bought some medicinal herbs for her errands. It's just that she didn't have any money on her at that time, so she asked Caomin to write down those accounts first, saying that she was General Zhao Yun's sister, and those accounts were recorded in General Zhao Yun's name. But the grass people waited until the end of the month, and they couldn't wait for the people in General Zhao's mansion to repay the debt. The grass people did not manage well, the inn was closed, and there was no entanglement on their bodies. Just a few days ago, when the grass people were looking through the account books, they remembered the summer girl and General Zhao Yun, so they came cheekily..."
Everyone in the hall put down their wooden chopsticks and wine glasses, and listened curiously. Xiang Xia also remembered this suddenly, that day he was injured when he saw alfalfa, and he was molested again... A whole bunch of things were going on that day, and she was already busy. After returning home, Zhao Yun quarreled with her again, how could she still have the heart and energy to remember the matter of repaying the debt.
"Is that really the case?" Zhao Yun leaned over and asked.
Xiang Xia nodded his head in shame, "I forgot about this." ”
"Lady, it's okay. How much the lady owes him, I will order someone to pay it back to him later. Zhao Yun comforted her and squeezed a smile at her.
Xiang Xia didn't notice Zhao Yun's face was lost for a while, so he only responded: "Hmm." ”
"Oh, I see. What you mean is that I owe you two dollars in the summer, and I haven't paid it back yet. But aren't you Zilong and Summer's fellow countryman? Liu Bei asked suspiciously.
"What fellow?" The man was also very puzzled.
"My lord, the general's guess is wrong, my fellow countryman estimates that the trip has been delayed, and he will have to delay it for a few days. disturbed the lord's interest, and asked the lord to surrender. Zhao Yun hurriedly came out of the column and knelt half.
"Oh, that's it..."Liu Bei frowned thoughtfully and nodded. It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and it was in vain that he worked so hard. But the words have already talked about this, and no matter who the object is, the good people still have to do it to the end.
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding, but who said that the misunderstanding is not also a kind of fate?" Liu Bei covered it with a smile, and the others nodded in agreement.
"Zilong, did you say?"
“.. Be. Zhao Yun seemed to be a little unsettled, and answered absentmindedly.
"Alright, let's get down to business. How much silver taels she owes you in the summer, I'll pay it back for her. Liu Bei said with a smile.
"My lord, don't. Or is it by Yun..."Zhao Yun hurriedly stood up and stopped Liu Bei.
"Eh, summer is also my sister, it's all a family, Zilong doesn't want to see outside. Sit down. Liu Bei had a straight face, still cordial in his seriousness, and waved his hand at Zhao Yun: "Sit down." ”
Zhao Yun pursed his lips, a little embarrassed. At the right time, Zhang Fei, who was tiger-headed, continued: "Brother Zilong, you are too polite!" You don't think of us as a family anymore, do you? ”
"Never." Zhao Yun retorted, and just wanted to say something, Zhang Fei was already one step ahead of him: "Then you sit down and let the eldest brother pay it back for Xiao Xia." Hey, it's all a little bit of money. You don't want to think about it, then Liu Qi has to call the eldest brother uncle, how can he treat the eldest brother badly! ”
Zhang Fei spoke openly, Guan Yu hurriedly interrupted his words and gagged him: "Brother Zilong, just listen to the eldest brother and the third brother." Come, third brother, let's have a drink too. ”
"Okay, brother." Zhang Fei is a happy fairy if he has wine, and only wine can block his big mouth. He raised his glass with a smile and didn't care about anything else.
"Thank you for the summer of the Yun Dynasty." Zhao Yun had to sit down.
"Little things." Liu Bei flicked his sleeves in a dashing manner, and was about to ask the man how much he owed him in the summer. The man stood up and asked in some surprise, "Is the summer girl also the sister of Uncle Liu Huang?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?" Liu Bei nodded, smiled and looked at his own family members on the left and right of the hall, and finally looked at the person. The man trembled, and his face showed a hint of fear. Liu Bei's smile was a little puzzled...
"No, no—" The man gritted his teeth and denied, he tried to hide his panic, but some of the sharp-eyed ones had already realized it.
