Chapter 3 Ancient Cities
The old man glanced at the bloody corpse on the ground, and said to Zhang Lang: "The son is now dead tragically, and the old man and Fei Fu will not be able to escape the responsibility when they go back." Please help us! ”
Zhang Lang said angrily: "How can I manage the affairs of your master's family?" ”
The old man looked around, and the virtue of the thief's head and rat brain was simply like a bad thing. He leaned over to Zhang Lang and whispered, "If the strong man becomes our son, then all problems will be solved." ……”
Zhang Lang was startled and shouted, "How can this work?!" Yuan Shao can't even admit his son's mistake, right? ”
The old man hurriedly said; "The strong man doesn't know. Our son-in-law is actually just a child born to a servant girl back then. The maidservant was found pregnant and chased away by the lady, so the lord never saw the son.
The lord only recently learned that this child was still missing, so he sent Lao Yu and others to look for it. Hey, I just didn't expect this to happen! ……”
immediately begged Zhang Lang: "Son's chivalrous courage, please save the old decay and flying flotsam!" ”
Zhang Lang couldn't help but glance at the girl called Feixi, and when he saw her looking at him at a loss, his heart suddenly couldn't be stiffened.
I felt that I didn't know where to go when I came to this strange world, so I simply went to Yuan Shao's place to be a boy and a brother to eat.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Lang nodded and said, "Okay." ……”
The old man was overjoyed and said excitedly: "In this way, the old man is carefree!" Then he hugged his fist at Zhang Lang and said: "Zhuang, no, son, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's hurry up and get on the road." By the way, the old man's name is Yuan Fu. ”
Zhang Lang smiled bitterly in his heart: I didn't expect me to have a day as a son-in-law!
looked around and saw that there were more than a dozen horses scattered around the scene, so he said to Yuan Fu: "Take the horses, let's ride away." ”
Yuan Fu clasped his fists and bowed: "Obey the orders of the son." Then he beckoned Fei Fu to run over and led the dozen or so horses in turn.
Yuan Fu said with some emotion: "When I came out, there were more than 20 people, but I didn't expect that there were only a few of us left." ”
Seeing that Zhang Lang was digging on the grass by the side of the official road with a long knife used by bandits, he asked puzzledly, "Son, ...... are you?" ”
Zhang Lang said while digging the soil: "When people die, they can't do anything else, but they have to be buried!" ”
Fei Fu showed a touched look, and couldn't help but say: "Childe, you are really a good person!" ”
Yuan Fu said angrily: "Shut up!" Then he said to Zhang Lang: "Gongzi's benevolence and righteousness are certainly touching, but although those thieves are gone, they are guaranteed to turn back again, so we should leave immediately!" ”
Zhang Lang glanced up at Yuan Fu, and felt that this old guy was really selfish enough, and after having his own impostor, he didn't even want to care about the corpse of his own genuine son.
Ignoring Yuan Fu, he continued to dig a pit. Zhang Lang was very efficient, and soon dug about 20 or so soil pits. The corpses of the real son and his entourage were brought over and placed in various earth pits, and the graves were built one by one.
After taking a look at these new graves, he said to Yuan Fu and Feixu: "Let's go!" ”
Fei Fei ran to those graves and knocked three times before returning to Zhang Lang's side. Yuan Fu said unhappily: "You have a lot to do!" ”
Zhang Lang said: "Fei Fu talks about righteousness, which is very good. Yuan Fu saw Zhang Lang speak, so he didn't say anything more.
The three of them connected the reins of more than a dozen horses to the end, and then stepped on the three healthy horses at the head and walked forward along the official road. Liu Xian felt that a strange world and life were waiting for him ahead, and he was inexplicably a little excited in his heart.
The group went to the Bohai Sea along the official road, and at this time Zhang Lang personally felt the vastness and sparse population of ancient times. They walked on the road for three days, barely seeing any other pedestrians.
The surrounding area was so desolate that Zhang Lang had the illusion of being in a primitive world.
At dusk on this day, an ancient city that had only appeared in film and television dramas before finally appeared in front of me.
Zhang Lang looked at this city, but an unreal feeling rose in his heart.
A group of three people and more than twenty horses entered the city, and Zhang Lang looked around curiously. found that this ancient city is not at all as glamorous as in the film and television dramas.
There is only one main street, and it leads directly from the city gate on this side to the city gate on the opposite side, which is only about 1,000 meters long. The entire street is paved with bluestone, which reminds Zhang Lang of the remnants of the bluestone road of his hometown from decades ago.
On both sides of the street, there are many houses of varying heights, and there are few elaborate old houses made of wood, most of which are simple dwellings made of thatch and mud.
There are not many pedestrians on the streets, and most of them are ragged and listless. Seeing such a scene, Zhang Lang immediately understood why such a thing as the Yellow Turban Rebellion happened in this era.
Yuan Fu led the two of them straight forward, and Zhang Lang asked, "Where are you going to take us?" ”
Yuan Fudao: "It's not early, let's go to the county government to rest." ”
This county seat is not big, and the three of them soon arrived at the gate of the county government. Yuan Fu turned over and dismounted and ran to the gate, raised a token and shouted at the official at the door: "I am the butler of the Bohai Taishou, quickly call your county officials out." ”
When the two officials guarding the door heard this, they hurriedly resigned themselves and rushed in to report it.
When Zhang Lang saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. I feel that no matter what era it is, some things really won't change at all.
After a while, Zhang Lang saw a middle-aged man in an ancient official robe leading five or six figures who looked like officials to rush out.
When he saw Yuan Fu, he immediately bowed and said: "I don't know that Your Excellency is coming, I will miss the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”
Yuan Fu snorted and said, "I took the fourth prince to Bohai to reunite with the lord, passing by you today, quickly prepare the wine, food and accommodation." ”
The county official showed a look of surprise, and couldn't help but look behind Yuan Fu, his eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a look of amazement and awe.
It's no wonder that the ancient people can't compare to the modern people after all, and Zhang Lang, as a special warfare elite, not only has a height of more than one meter and eight meters, but also has a compelling momentum, which is far beyond the ability of ordinary people, so this county official will be shocked when he sees it!
The county official came back to his senses, hurriedly ran to Zhang Lang, and bowed: "Mengxian, the lowly Chengping County Order, meet the fourth son." I don't know that the light of the son has descended, and he has lost his welcome, and he hopes to forgive his sins! ”
Seeing that the other party was so polite, Zhang Lang hurriedly dismounted, and hugged his fists like a person of this era and said, "Master Meng doesn't need to be polite!" ”
Meng Xian saw that Zhang Lang was not arrogant at all, and suddenly had a good impression in his heart, only feeling that this fourth prince was much better than the housekeeper!
Immediately, Zhang Lang and the three of them were invited into the county government hall to serve tea, and at the same time ordered someone to prepare wine and food and a place to live.
