In the territory of Xinye County, Sizhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info on an inaccessible post road, a young man with a book basket walking slowly on the road, his eyes from time to time to look at the gradual scenery around him, you are swimming, so comfortable. Xinye County, as the southernmost county in Sizhou, is close to the poor Yanzhou, and can be regarded as the poorest county in Sizhou, and there is no one. And this post road is also exactly the same deserted, even the weeds on the side of the road are extremely messy, and it can be seen that no one has passed here for a long time. After walking for a long time, the young man finally stopped and looked up at a new house that suddenly appeared there on the side of the road. The house is small and crudely built, but you can tell that there are people living here. The young man stood at the edge of the post road for a long time, as if hesitating to come forward and ask for some water to quench his thirst. It's just that there are barren mountains and mountains around, but such a house suddenly appeared, and it seems a little strange, after all, I heard that there is a lot of trouble around Xinye County, is this house also a bandit? After hesitating for a long time, the young man seemed to be unable to hold back his hunger and thirst, and slowly stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door. It didn't take long for the rough gate of the courtyard to be opened, and a small, dark-skinned head poked out, looking at the abrupt young man. The young man breathed a sigh of relief, he was still a child, so that the people who lived in this courtyard should not be bandits, so the young man made a gesture and said softly: "This little brother, passing through this place on the way, is very thirsty, and wants to ask for some water to drink." The swarthy kid who stuck out his head was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Do you want to drink water?" "Big boss, big boss, old man Meng! There's a scholar outside who wants some water to drink!" Before the young man could finish speaking, the boy had already opened the door and shouted inside. When the young man heard this, his face changed drastically. Isn't this the title of the boss in the bandits' den? Is this really a bandit's den? Just before the young scholar could pull his legs and run away, the swarthy child had already grabbed the scholar and walked inside, not to mention that the child was not very old, only in his early thirteen or fourteen years old, but his strength was really not small, and he even pulled the young scholar's arm, so that the scholar could not break free. "It's been a long time since outsiders have come to our yard, rare guests, Li Mazi, you bastard haven't come out to welcome guests, big boss, big boss, come and see, there is a weak scholar, handsome. The dark-skinned child shouted at the top of his voice and grinned at the young scholar. And the young man who couldn't break free from his arm was pale, Li Mazi? This is clearly a bandit's nest! Breaking into someone's lair, how can this be good? At this moment, a sloppy old man over 50 walked out of the room quickly and shouted angrily at the young child: "Little sparrow, what a big boss, we are no longer bandits." The child, who was called the little sparrow, smiled and said, "Isn't it a habit, and you can't change it all at once." Hearing this, the young scholar breathed a sigh of relief. The sloppy old man ignored the little sparrow, walked directly to the young scholar, hugged his fists with a smile and said: "This son is frightened, in Xia Meng's Long March, just call me Lao Meng." Childe wants to drink water and take a break, right?" The young scholar's arm that was being dragged was let go by the child called the little sparrow, and hurriedly said: "In Xia Xu Huainan, I have seen Brother Meng. Xiao Sheng was just passing by here, he was thirsty, and when he saw that there were residents here, he dared to come up and knock on the door, and hoped that Brother Meng would not be surprised. Lao Mengtou waved his hand and said with a smile: "Reading people are different, they can't talk about strange things, and I also know what is convenient for people when I go out." Xu Gongzi, come on, come on, sit in the house. I asked a few of them to cook a meal for Childe, and then left after Childe. Xu Huainan waved his hand and said, "Don't dare, Brother Meng just needs to give a bowl of water, don't dare to bother too much." It's just that as soon as he finished saying this, he was pulled in by Old Man Meng's arm. While pulling, he said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi doesn't know, there is no place to settle in this radius of dozens of miles, Gongzi might as well have a meal here and rest before setting off, rest assured, my old Meng Tou has long stopped doing the business of robbing houses and houses." No one is going to do anything to you here. Xu Huainan looked embarrassed, stunned, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, the people in this place are really enthusiastic. Not long after entering the room, the little sparrow who had just pulled himself and a tall thin man with pockmarked faces brought food one after another, not rich, but very rustic. Xu Huainan, who has been going all the way for more than ten days, is already very satisfied with this. It's not just Lao Mengtou or the little sparrow who is not old but has a lot of strength, and Li Mazi, who is full of pockmarked faces, seems to be very enthusiastic about this weak scholar, and smiles proudly. Xu Huainan was really embarrassed, so after eating, he leaned back on a chair and looked at the house. The houses are not exquisite, and they are even a little shabby, but they look newly built and have a lot of style. The old man who called himself Meng Changzheng poured a cup of tea for Xu Huainan with a smile, and said softly: "Don't be surprised by Gongzi Xu, my brothers are very arrogant on weekdays, and now that the house has been built, Gongzi is the first guest, so he is naturally very happy." Xu Huainan smiled and nodded: "Indeed, very enthusiastic." Old man Meng nodded with a smile, and then wondered: "Xu Gongzi didn't know where he came from, why did he appear in this inaccessible Xinye County? And it seems that Xu Gongzi doesn't look like those people who have a handle in the rivers and lakes, isn't he afraid of encountering accidents?" Xu Huainan hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I came from Xiazhou and went to Yinzhou to find someone." Old man Meng slapped his face on the table, and shouted: "What? Gongzi is from Bingzhou? and he is going to Yinzhou?" Xu Huainan was taken aback by this old man Meng's actions, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Meng, what is this?" Old man Meng realized his problem, smiled, sat on the stool, and said softly: "A few days ago, that is, just after the New Year, there was also a young man here, who also came from Bingzhou, and wanted to go to Yinzhou. Xu Huainan was stunned for a moment. Old man Meng seemed to be reminded of the past, frowned and squinted at the door, and said slowly: "At that time, I still had a little sparrow, Li Mazi, these people were still bandits with no fixed place, and the five of them lived in the mountains and forests all day long, and they didn't eat the last meal. I finally ran into a passer-by, so I just wanted to rob, but that son was not only a master, but also a good person. Not to mention inviting us to eat pheasants, he left a large sum of silver when he left. "I'm not afraid of Xu Gongzi's jokes when I say it, now this mansion is still built with the silver left by the prince at that time. Old Meng smiled, his expression full of gratitude. After hearing this, Xu Huainan grinned and said, "This son's surname is Chen?" Old Meng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and said in surprise: "Xu Gongzi knows?" Xu Huainan smiled and nodded. Lao Meng took Xu Huainan's hand and said excitedly: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Xu Gongzi, I will stay here for the night today, and let the old man entertain Gongzi well." Xu Huainan looked stunned. The knock on the door rang again, and it wasn't long before the sound of a little sparrow was heard. "Old Mengtou, a guest came out and said that he was looking for a son surnamed Xu. Old Mengtou, come and take a look. Xu Huainan and Old Man Meng were both stunned. Walking out of the door, he saw a middle-aged man in a black robe, standing in the courtyard and bowing to Xu Huainan and clasping his fists and saying, "I don't know if this is Xu Gongzi from Crow Ridge?" Xu Huainan frowned and did not answer, but Lao Mengtou looked incredible. I saw that the man continued: "In Xia Feng Yulou, I specially came to greet Xu Gongzi on the order of Lord Chen. Old Meng Tou was taken aback, Lord Chen? Could it be that young man? Why did he become an adult in the official mansion? Dozens of carriages slowly stopped under the castle, and Shi Shiran walked down a handsome woman in a luxurious carriage headed by Shi Shiran, who gave a blessing to Chen Tianze, who was standing at the door to greet him, with a smile on his face. Chen Tianze looked surprised and said, "It's you!" The woman smiled slyly and said, "Why can't it be me?" Chen Tianze smiled and said, "This world is really too small. ”
