"Dad, how cold is this winter? Let's go back! ”

"Silly boy, you know what! Is this cold? Hey, the cold is yet to come! Why don't you chop more firewood now, what will we burn when it's cold? ”

In the southern border of Sichuan-Shu and Shu, an old man and a young man were busy preparing firewood for winter in the mountain col outside the pass on the Sichuan-Shu border.

"Your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, I can't let my precious grandson be frozen again! Ay! Are you stupid? Don't stand there, stand behind me! "The old man's goat beard is already a handful, but he has the strength of a handful. Seeing that he was almost cut down, he shouted his son away, pressed his hands on the tree and pushed it hard, and a big tree with a thick bowl mouth was stopped and pushed down by the old man.

When the old man saw that the tree was knocked down, he smiled happily: "Your mother often says that I am old, old man, I should really take her out to see, see if I am old!" Hahahaha. ”

The young man stepped forward with a short axe in hand to help, but the old man pushed it away: "Don't be busy, when will you be busy cutting down a tree?" Cut down all the trees before chopping them, so it's quick! You still have a lot to learn! Today, our grandfather will cut down four or five trees and go back. ”

The young man scratched his head and asked, "Dad, four or five!" It's just two of us, can we carry it? ”

"Why can't you carry it? What I have strength, old man! The old man said and said with a smile: "The baby is born, and it is not good to have a serious name." Could it be that you are still like you, the dog baby dog baby continues to shout? ”

When the young man thought that he was about to become a father, his heart couldn't help but blossom.

"Cut down two more trees and give them to Mr. Wang in the private school, Mr. Wang is knowledgeable. Let him help me come up with a name, and I'll be satisfied, old man. Don't underestimate this name, this is a good name..."The old man was halfway through his words, and the man froze in place, looking behind his son with frightened eyes.

"Daddy! What's wrong? When the young man saw his father so frightened, he had a sense of foreboding, and he looked behind him.

"Don't look!" The old man hurriedly shouted: "There is a big worm behind you." Don't dare to move at this time! You slowly come to me. After all, the old man has lived most of his life, and he has experience and courage to slowly guide his son out of danger. He also slowly bent down to pick up the big axe that had just cut down the tree on the ground.

The young man didn't dare to disobey, and moved his feet little by little, but he didn't look back and saw it, and his heart was always bottomless, and he asked softly, "Dad, how big is it?" When it gets closer, you talk to me, and I'll turn around and give it a moment. ”

The old man ignored his son's inquiry, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at the cyan snake behind his son. What kind of snake is this? This is clearly a dragon! It's almost as thick as a bucket...

The old man finally grasped the handle of the big axe, and his heart was finally a little more steady.

"Hey, Dad, aren't you the most afraid of snakes?" The young man still doesn't know the size of the worm behind him, and the two of them have a sharp axe in their hands, what is a snake? It was rare to see his father so scared, and the young man couldn't help but quip.

Suddenly, the young man felt a little strange in his shoulder, turned his head slightly, and his eyes widened in fright. A letter as thick as a ring ruler poked out from behind his shoulder and swayed in front of him.

"Dad..."The young man cried out in fright, and as soon as the word "Dad" blurted out, the big snake had already opened his sin and bit the young man's head.

The old man rose up with an axe, and with one blow he slashed at the head of the serpent.

"Ding!"

The scales on the snake's body were as hard as iron, and the old man's axe was flicked out of his hand, and the tiger's mouth was torn, and blood flowed out one after another.

Half of the young man's body has been swallowed by the big snake, and the old man didn't care about the wound on his hand, so he stepped forward and grabbed his son's foot and dragged it out: "Dog baby, you hold on to the snake's mouth!" Daddy, I'll get you out! ”

The mouth of the snake has been closed, and the big snake is obviously unwilling to let go of this "delicacy" that enters the mouth. However, this old man chops wood all the year round, and he also has the strength to handle it, and he is in a stalemate with the big snake for a while.

"Dog, hold on, think about your baby! Don't faint! The old man called out to his son as he pulled him out.

A snake's tail swept over, hitting the old man's waist, and the old man was swept out like a kite with a string in tow, and fell heavily to the ground, looking like he would not live long.

"What did my father tell you before I came out?" A handsome man walked out of the woods, and a sound sounded behind him, and countless soldiers came out at one time.

"Don't blame me, it's Xiaoqing who is greedy." A petite woman slid down the snake's back and said with an innocent expression.

The handsome man looks quite elegant, but when he gestures, he has a taste of not being angry and arrogant. Seeing the woman sliding down from the big snake, her eyes also swept over, and the woman was a little afraid.

"Spit it out!" The handsome man shouted.

The woman was helpless, turned around and kicked the big snake: "Xiaoqing, you are in trouble again!" ”

The big snake's mouth was open, and the young man who was still alive just now had become a corpse at this time, slipped out of the big snake's mouth, and had already suffocated to death.

"Bury them and prepare to break the barrier." The handsome man walked away, and the soldiers behind him hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the poor father and son aside to prepare for burial.

"It's already out of Xigui, Xiaoqing is not allowed to eat, Xiaoqing is hungry and thin!" The little woman muttered quietly behind her.

The beautiful man had good ears, and although the woman had spoken very quietly, he still heard it, turned his head and glared at the woman angrily: "I'm not taking you out to play now!" If you delay your father's big event, how many heads do you have enough to compensate? ”

Seeing that the handsome man was really angry, the woman lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "But Xiaoqing hasn't eaten for a long time." It's just eating one or two people, what a big deal can delay the prince..."

The handsome man turned to leave, walked a few steps, and finally said, "From today onwards, feed it a horse every month." ”

"Thank you, Second Son!" The woman was overjoyed when she heard this, ran to the big snake, and stroked the snake's head: "Okay, Xiaoqing, you don't have to starve anymore." The serpent seemed to understand, lowered his head, passed under the woman's crotch, lifted her up, and followed the handsome man.

In the winter of the sixth year of Qingguan, Zou Tao, the second son of the king of Xigui, led 80,000 Xigui troops to go out of Xigui, and the soldiers pointed directly at Sichuan and Shu.

……

"Lord Wang, something is wrong! The Western Guijun is coming! A civil official rushed into the palace of the king of Sichuan and Shu in a hurry, and he didn't care about the courtesy, shook off the letter in his hand and reported to the king of Sichuan and Shu: "The front line is urgent, Zou Tao, the second son of the king of Xigui, led 80,000 troops of the king of Xigui to attack my border, and Zhaoguan was lost!" ”

The King of Sichuan Shu sat up from his seat suddenly: "What? Zhaoguan is lost!? ”

Zhaoguan is the southern gateway of the Sichuan and Shu domains, and once Zhaoguan is lost, the next one is Bincheng, and Rongcheng is in danger.

"When did you lose it? Where is the Western Guijun! The king of Sichuan Shu was shocked and angry, grabbed the collar of the civil official and asked.

The civil official was also helpless: "This is an urgent report sent by the Bincheng County Order, when this urgent report was issued, the army of the King of Xigui had arrived under the city of Bincheng, and now... I don't know where I'm going..."

The King of Sichuan Shu pushed hard: "Waste!" A bunch of rubbish! How much money does this king have to eat every month, and the huge Zhaoguan is lost, but there is not a word to send it back, or the Xigui army arrived in the city, and the news was transmitted back from Bincheng. Do you wait for the sword of the Western Guijun to stand on the neck of this king, and then you have to tell the king that the Western Guijun is coming!? ”

The civil official was pushed by the king of Sichuan Shu, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground. Seeing that the King of Sichuan Shu was so angry, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, picked up the paper letters scattered on the ground, turned around and prepared to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a person entering from outside the door: "Dad, the Xiguijun is calling!" ”

"County Lord." The civil servant stepped aside and bowed.

"Excuse me, you go first." Peng Baobao took the letter from the civil official's hand and read it carefully.

When the civil official saw the arrival of the county lord, he was also relieved. Such a major event, it stands to reason that it should be reported to the king of Sichuan Shu, but it is useless to report to the king of Sichuan and Shu, and it is inconvenient for him to find the county lord as a foreign minister, and now the county lord takes the initiative to find it, and it is better at that time. Thinking of this, the civil official left in a hurry.

Peng Baobao read the letter from beginning to end, and said: "Dad, the Xigui Army is not good, the Zhaoguan Pass has been broken, and we haven't received any news at all!" Quickly send someone to report this matter to the imperial court, and the child is willing to lead the troops to meet the Xigui army! ”

The king of Sichuan Shu paced back and forth as if he hadn't heard his daughter's words, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Daddy! What are you waiting for! Peng Baobao was anxious and hurriedly urged.

"Baby! In this way, you immediately issued an order to order all the disciples of the Tang Sect to come, and you ordered another 50,000 troops to go out from the east gate of Rongcheng and go to the capital! The King of Sichuan Shu took Peng Baobao's hand and said.

Peng Baobao was about to speak, and the civil official went and returned: "Report, report... Report to the prince, Bincheng... Lost. ”

When the king of Sichuan Shu heard this, he was struck by lightning: "Bincheng..."Before he finished speaking, his body softened and fell to the ground.

"Daddy! Father! Peng Baobao and the civil officials hurriedly rushed over, wanting to help the king of Sichuan and Shu up.

The king of Sichuan Shu was helped up by Peng Baobao, but he saw that his breath slowly weakened.

"You go first..."The king of Sichuan Shu raised his hand weakly and waved, and the civil officials understood, turned around and walked out, as if fleeing.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Where is it uncomfortable! Peng Baobao is really anxious, she has never seen this fiery father have such a weak side.

"Dad, don't scare me, you can say something!"

The King of Sichuan Shu slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, at this moment, the King of Sichuan Shu, who had been magnificent, looked so tired and haggard.

"Son... These 100,000 soldiers..."

"I know, I know... Here's it! Peng Baobao saw the clue and couldn't cry.

"Son... The people of Sichuan and Shu..."

"Son, son! It's okay! Sichuan Shu will be fine! ”

"Son... Your mother..."

"Daddy! Don't talk about it! I know, I know... Mother, it's not that you're angry... My mother was actually angry with me..."

Talking about Princess Sichuan Shu, King Sichuan Shu's eyes brightened a little: "Your mother doesn't want you to learn martial arts, don't blame your mother... If you want to blame your father, your father has a big temper and has no ability..."

"Son, how nice it would be if you were a boy... Dad is really incompetent... I'm counting on you..."

Teardrops the size of beans slipped down Peng Baobao's face and dripped into the palm of the King of Sichuan and Shu.

"Lan'er... Why are you crying? If the baby wants to learn martial arts, let her learn... It's better not to be like me in the future... Others... I can't bully her..."

The king of Sichuan Shu slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears on his "Lan'er" face, and wiped it left and right: "Wipe it clean." He breathed a long sigh of relief and lowered his hand...
