The father and son didn't speak, especially Liu Ju lost interest in speaking, and fell into silence, just silently walked forward, behind him, the dust under his feet was stirred up by the footsteps under his feet, and as the straw shoes were lifted, they slowly dispersed, slowly melted into the air, formed a faint smoke, and finally disappeared.

Liu Chang, confirmed his speculation, and a burst of sadness surged in his heart, this sadness was mainly for the tragic ending of the poor Huansha girl, who was kind enough to give alms, but in exchange for the loss of her life, she may not have figured out why her kindness was exchanged for ruthless extermination until she died.

Perhaps, Wu Shang Wu Zixu, who was standing on the shore and looking at the raccoon girl struggling in the water, may have a trace of conscience uneasiness in his heart, perhaps, he didn't even have the slightest uneasiness, just watched quietly.

Hum! Ten years later, I am grateful for my daughter, how benevolent and righteous, and how impassioned! Ten years later, is it really more valuable than a bowl of rice grain at that time? The terrible thing is not that only Wu Zixu has this kind of thought, what is terrible is that this kind of thinking is actually the idea of all the superiors, his father, who has been known as kind and generous, honest and frugal, also has this kind of thought, that family can escape death, not that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not want to do it, but that he did not have the ability or strength to do it at that time.

"Sad and sorrowful raccoon girl, innocent as a dead soul; The bluestone is still there, only the name of the hero"

"What do you say"

"Nothing"

In the Qin and Han dynasties, five households were neighbors, and five neighbors were neighbors, and a pavilion was set up every ten miles in the countryside.

"Hanshu • Hundred Officials and Ministers' Table" is said to be ten miles and one pavilion. The main responsibilities of the pavilion chief are: checking passing passengers, cargo transportation, procurement, document transmission, arresting thieves, etc. The position of the pavilion chief is not high, but there is an official seal, and only the three elders at the township level have a seal, and there is no seal for rank, sifu, and wandering.

"The rate is ten miles and one pavilion, the pavilion is long, ten pavilions and one township, and the township has three elders, ranks, husbands, and wanderers. The three elders are in charge of education, listen to lawsuits, collect taxes, and prohibit thieves and thieves. "The pavilion is an administrative unit one level lower than the township, and its jurisdiction is 205 households, which is 10 li, not 10 li. According to the records of "Han Guanyi", the pavilion chief is not the commander of the light pole, he has two adjutants, one is called "Pavilion Father" and the other is called "Seeking Thieves", and is equipped with five soldiers, most of whom are filled by people who have completed their military service.

On the side of the post road, a simple grass hut. There is a gourd under the shed, and a middle-aged man is kneeling on the motten, as if he is pretending to sleep. There is a dilapidated low collapse on the edge, and there is a clay pot on the couch, which seems to be used to hold water.

Outside the hut, there is a wooden sign with a notice made of silk cloth posted on it. There were two strong men standing on both sides of the road, and there were few pedestrians on the road, and the two of them also looked listless.

"You, come here"

Seeing a large two young people approaching, one of the people who approached the wooden sign pointed to the adult and greeted him.

The two eldest and the youngest are the three of Liu Ju's father and son. Liu Ju also obeyed, and obediently walked to the wooden card, looking slightly nervous. Posted on the wooden sign was a wanted notice. There is a portrait of a character on it, the pen and ink are simple but also expressive, at a glance, you can know that it is from the hand of the Fang family, only to see that the person is handsome, the face is as carved as the facial features are distinct, and the angular face is handsome and abnormal. It looks like a bohemian on the outside, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate it. With black and dense hair, and a pair of slender peach blossom eyes under a pair of sword eyebrows, it is full of affection, which makes people fall into it if they are not careful. The nose is tall and the lips are moderately thick, but there is a dazzling smile at this time.

On the right side of the portrait there are several large columns, which are particularly eye-catching: Wanted: Qin prisoner Liu Zhi, seven years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, seven feet two inches long, fair face, thick eyebrows, short beard. Guilty of rebellion. Reward the marquis, rank 2,000 stones, Huxian official mansion!

It turned out to be the sea fishing document of the crown prince Liu Ju, and when Liu Ju saw it, his blood boiled, and his heart slammed into his chest as if he was about to fly. Just yesterday, he could still face death calmly, because at that time he knew that it was the end of death. Extreme discouragement can calmly face the situation of mortality, death is not necessarily a relief, and reason can triumph over emotion.

Now it is different, his heart has crossed the boundary of death, full of infinite desire for life and infinite love for his children, he does not want to die, he wants to live, live to watch his children grow up, live to watch his children get married. Although he had changed his face when he was on the road, his original beard had been almost plucked alive by himself, and now there were only a few sparse ones, and his eyebrows had been pulled out quite a bit, and he was still a little red and swollen. In order to cover up, he also rubbed his tanned face and neck with a rough stone repeatedly, and now he looked very much like a red-faced down-and-out scholar, and he could firmly believe that even his father and mother would not recognize them. In order to change the posture and shape of his walking, he even added a wooden stick to his straw sandals, so that he could walk without feeling lame.

He was confident that he would never be recognized. But there are accidents in everything, this kind of sea fishing, not just by camouflage can escape, not how much you disguise from the original, but people only need to think that you are a little like enough, or even just feel that you are a little like it is enough.

It's better to catch a thousand by mistake than to put one wrong. This kind of sea fishing should not be accurately captured, but all the suspicious ones should be concentrated and slowly selected. And the government can easily find out all the suspicious people, not by any consciousness, what morality, what patriotism, the last sentence of the notice "Reward the marquis, rank 2,000 stones".

What is the marquis, those Qianshou may not know, the rank is two thousand stones, but they clearly know that during the Han Dynasty, the lowest-ranking palace maid in the harem was 192 Hu, "Hu, ten buckets." "That's 192 stones. A family of seven can eat for five years. 2,000 stones, enough to eat for 50 years! Therefore, under the heavy reward, almost no fugitives can go unpunished.

"What's your name? Which one? What for? Is there a test? The man looked at the knife and bow on Liu Ju's back suspiciously.

"We are hunters in the mountains. No, there is no test. Although Liu Ju was a little nervous, he was still calm, and he had already dealt with possible situations along the way, but he didn't dare to say which one he belonged to, in the entire Quanjiu, there were twenty-five households, in case there was a person who knew the Quanjiu, he would definitely not be able to justify himself, and there were risks in other areas. Fortunately, there are two props, and it is normal for Orion to live in the mountains, and no one knows him.

"No test? Which one? The soldier raised his eyelids and looked at Liu Ju's face, but he was not too surprised. The test is an identity certificate left by the pre-Qin Dynasty, although it is also used in this dynasty, it is not so strict, mainly used by the gentry and people with a certain status, used to prove their identity, and is rarely used by ordinary civilians, so Liu Ju said no, and did not continue to ask.

"We are not inside" Liu Ju suppressed his mood and replied calmly, but he was nervous to death in his heart, this question is the key, whether he can pass the test or not, it depends on the other party's handling of this problem.

"No? Is it a runaway?! "That soldier really raised his vigilance, no in, no inspection, either an immortal or a fugitive! Looking at his damaged color, he is definitely not a god, he is a fugitive.

Hearing the soldier's voice raised, another person hurried over. Be prepared to be arrested on the spot.

They can catch not only fugitives, but also fugitives. What are you kidding, they are all runaways, who are we going to eat? No, no, who contributed to the Han court!

"No, it's not a runaway, our ancestors lived in the mountains." Liu Ju couldn't help but take a step back and quickly explained.

"I don't think you are like Orion, and Orion is not as ven as you. To be honest, who the hell are you, there is no one I don't know in this ten miles radius. ”

"We are really Orions in the mountains" Liu Ju was a little timid in his heart, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.

"Orion? You say it's Orion, it's Orion? Who will prove it? You pull that bow away and I'll see! ”

"Okay, I'll show you!" As soon as he heard that he was asked to draw the bow, Liu Ju hurriedly agreed. Draw the bow, he has no problem, what does the prince do, he is specially taught to draw the bow and shoot arrows. He can't do anything in a hundred steps, draw the bow round, he has no problem. It's okay to shoot a few arrows, but if you can't shoot, it's hard to say.

Liu Ju hurriedly took off the longbow on his back, grabbed the back of the bow with his left hand, buckled the bowstring with his thumb, and fought with his arms to open the bow.

"Wait, wait!" The one who just leaned over said something to stop him.

Just when Liu Ju and the soldier who came up first to interrogate didn't know what he was going to do, the latter stretched out a hand: "Take it and let me see." ”

The latter took the longbow, weighed it with his hands, and then fought with both hands, and actually opened a full bow.

"Yes, this is a good three-stone bow" After speaking, he handed the longbow to Liu Ju, meaning to let Liu Ju pull it too.

Liu Chang pulled his brother beside him and kept silent, seeing this, not only nodded secretly, it seems that this person must also be from the military, and he is the best in the army. It seems that this level is not easy to pass.

The latter's casual action gave Liu Ju a lot of pressure, the three-stone bow, to be honest, he can also pull it away, but it will definitely not be as easy and comfortable as that soldier, if he can't pull it open, he really can't pass the test today, saying that he is from Orion, he can't open the three-stone bow, and his lies will inevitably be exposed.

So, take a deep breath to calm down, and then, with your right hand tightly clasped the bowstring, your left hand slowly pushed out, and at the same time, bent your right leg slightly, made a standard starting stance, and also opened a full bow.

"It seems that you are really an Orion, in our pavilion, there are also registered Orions, but without you, hum! It's Orion who is not fake, and it is more likely to be an escape! The archer suddenly shouted.

This shout almost scared Liu Ju stupidly, and he stood dumbfounded, not knowing whether to answer.

Liu Chang next to him was also taken aback by this shout, wasn't it good just now, why did he change his face and be exposed? ! He hurriedly glanced left and right, and found that there was another person in the pavilion, still unmoving. Liu Chang's heart suddenly understood, this is "fraud!" ”

"Father, father," Liu Chang looked at his father who was deceived, stood on the spot, walked to Liu Ju's side, pulled his father's shirt with his hand, raised an innocent face, and asked, "What is a runaway?" ”

"Humph! What is Escape? Even if you don't come out of the mountains, you are an escape!

Child, do you say, is your family hiding in the mountains and not coming out? The latecomer made a fierce look and stared at Liu Chang

"I'm not out, aren't we?" Liu Chang was also very cooperative, pretending to be frightened, and quickly hid behind his father, and replied timidly.

"And before? Have you never come out? The latecomer turned sideways, still staring at Liu Chang hiding behind him, and continued to threaten.

"Before? Who I used to be, I don't know. Liu Chang shrunk his neck, buried his head in front of his chest, and was actually trembling all over.

"Before? It used to be 。。。。。 The past is the past, not the one. The soldier who pretended to be vicious was suddenly stuck, and I don't know how to explain it.

"Then what are you doing today?" Seeing his companion choke, the other asked.

"Father said, take us into the city." Liu Chang stretched out half of his head from his father's back, but he still looked timid and replied in a low voice.

"What are you doing in the city?"

"Father said, go into the city to buy bamboo?"

"Buy bamboo? Why do you buy bamboo? You live in the mountains, why do you buy bamboo? ”

"My father said that I should use bamboo for writing."

"Bamboo for writing?" The gentler soldier looked at his companion puzzled, saw that the latter also shook his head in confusion, and glanced at Liu Chang again:

"Do you know words?"

"Of course, I know a lot of words." Liu Chang didn't seem to be afraid, stood up from behind his father, deliberately straightened his chest, and replied proudly.

"So, what does this word say?" Soldier A, the white-faced soldier, drew a horizontal line on the ground with a wooden stick, and then asked. Readers, they don't dare to be too presumptuous, people who don't have a little background, who can read books. But he was unwilling to give up, so he decided to take a test for Liu Chang to see if he was really literate.

"I don't know" Liu Chang looked confused, looking at a big 'one' Yaoyao head lying on the ground a few feet long.

"You don't even know 'one', and you still say you know words?" Both seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Is this 'one'? Uncle, you are so powerful, your family's "one" is so big, and our family's "one" is not so big, just, it's so big, a small section. Liu Chang clapped his little hands and said loudly, as if he had completely forgotten his fear, and used his thumb and index finger to compare how small his family's 'one' was.
