Chapter 190: The Rich Man Treats Guests
It was the second half of the night, and the three of them were a little tired, leaning against the wall, and fell asleep.
Suddenly, hearing a "snap" sound outside, Yang Shucheng and the two hurriedly opened their eyes, pushed the door out, and there was a dark-skinned teenager standing outside the door.
It is the person of the "three fierces", Wang Hu.
That Wang Hu was holding a meteor hammer, and when he saw Yang Shucheng, he turned around and ran down the mountain.
Yang Shucheng knew that although he was young, he was very bad, and there must be nothing good about him appearing here. Thinking of this, Yang Shucheng grabbed the wooden stick, and chased after it, shouting:
"What are you doing here?"
The boy was still smart, and turned his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm passing through here." ”
He is not stupid, Yang Shucheng is not stupid, he performed Taiqing light skills, so he chased down, quickly caught up, blocked the way, and scared him: "If you don't say it, I will kill you." ”
That Wang Hu was also in a hurry, and he waved the meteor hammer and killed Yang Shucheng in one place.
At this time, Yang Shucheng's swordsmanship was already at a first-class level, and after a few rounds of fighting with him, he used a stick as a sword and stabbed him in the chest with a stick.
Yang Shucheng said: "Say it quickly, otherwise I will be ruthless." ”
That Wang Hu saw that he couldn't kill him, and there was a boy in brocade standing next to him, holding a jade flute in his hand, knowing that he was also a master, and if he didn't tell the truth today, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Wang Hu had no choice but to say, "They said that there is a beautiful woman in this temple who wants to bring me here." A few of them were afraid that they would not be able to defeat you, and they were afraid that the people who were in Guan would take the opportunity to run away, so they went back and dispatched men and horses to intercept them on the road ahead. I couldn't help it, so I ran to see, but there were three men, and there were no beautiful women. As soon as I wanted to leave, I was discovered by you and chased out. That's it. ”
Yang Shucheng knew that someone was going to attack King Shen's idea, so he asked:
"Who are they?"
That Wang Hu told the truth, so he no longer hid it from them, and said one by one: "It's the Golden Crown Daoist, and the father and son surnamed Liu who went later." They say they want to rob the beauties here, but they're afraid they won't be able to beat you. Actually, I was deceived by them. ”
Yang Shucheng knew that he was telling the truth, so he said to him: "You go, you go back and talk to Daoist Jinguan, there is a group of people in front of us, just waiting for him." He's a traitor, and if he doesn't come, I'm going to look for him. ”
That kid Wang Hu suffered a loss, got this sentence, and hurriedly ran down the mountain with his tail between his legs.
Yang Shucheng turned around, and Xiong Songlin said: "It seems that someone wants to fight King Shen's idea, let's quickly cross the Dabie Mountain, and when we get to the outside of the mountain, the terrain is open and densely populated, so we are not afraid of them." ”
The two had already made up their minds, and at this time, King Shen had already come over, he had seen the situation here, and knew that the situation was critical, so he agreed to the two of them without waiting for the other party to speak.
The three of them didn't care about what breakfast they had eaten, and hurriedly walked south.
On the remote mountain road, I walked back and forth for two or three days before I walked out of Dabie Mountain, and there was no shadow following me.
In the evening of that day, the two escorted King Shen to a village by the mountain.
Although it was a war, because it was far away from the city and secluded on the side of a mountain, it was less robbed by officials and thieves, but it was also peaceful and peaceful.
The land here is fertile, a few streams flow down from the mountains, and there has been no drought for many years, so the family is quite rich, but the scenery is quiet, and the houses are neat, hidden in the dense woods.
The two escorted King Shen to the four big trees.
The three of them looked up at the trees. This is a cypress tree, the stem is so thick that four or five people can't hug it, and it is estimated to be hundreds of years old.
Because when the small trees were planted in the past, they were planted at dense intervals, but now they have grown for hundreds of years, and they have grown into towering trees, and the branches of the trees are intersected and densely intertwined, and the shade is thick, and when you look up, you can tower into the clouds, and you can't see the situation inside the dense leaves.
Under the tree, there is an incense burner, cigarette curling, offering fresh fruits, it seems that the villagers have offered these four cypress trees to the sacred tree.
I saw a family not far away, surrounded by dozens of acres of land, the houses inside were shaded by trees, and there were several courtyards looking at it.
Yang Shucheng and Xiong Songlin glanced at each other, and they will live here tonight.
The two of them escorted King Shen and walked to the gate, only to see two big stone lions on both sides of the door.
It's sunset, but there's still light, and the door is closed.
Yang Shucheng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened with a "bang", and a servant opened the door and looked at the visitor with suspicious eyes.
Yang Shucheng said: "We are passing by here, it is late, and we want to disturb in Guizhuang all night, I don't know if it is possible, it is convenient." ”
"Wait a minute, I'll report to the master." Say, with a "bang", close the door tightly.
After a long time, the door was opened, and the servant from before came out, and said to the three:
"My lord is invited."
Under the leadership of the domestic servant, the three of them walked in, and sure enough, it was a large courtyard, with a flat ground, many houses, and lush trees, and it was indeed a mansion that was hundreds of years old.
With the support of a little boy, the old man also came over, and Yang Shucheng and the others hurriedly walked a few steps and shouted:
"Master, thank you for staying."
The old man's face seemed to be sad, but he was also kind, and said, "Which one walks with the house on his back, since it is late, let's stay in the village for a night." ”
The host and guest gave in to each other, walked into the hall, thanked each other and sat down, and the servant brought tea.
Xiong Songlin made an introduction, and he didn't hide it, and said: Henan is in chaos, and the two of them escorted King Shen to Wuchang to go to General Zuo Liangyu, passing by here.
The old man also made an introduction, saying that his surname was Liu, and his ancestors had been several big officials, so he placed this house, and there were hundreds of acres of rice fields around it, which was regarded as a rich family in the surrounding hundreds of miles.
Rich Liu said: "Since Zhang Xianzhong left, it has been quite peaceful here. When the three nobles came here, they also had a fate to meet thousands of miles away, so let's live here. ”
After a while, the dishes were nothing more than bacon pork ribs, bacon pig's trotters, and a casserole hen, stewed to a sparse and fragrant aroma. The people in the mountains are really simple, and the dishes served on the table are all meat dishes, and there is not a plate of green vegetables.
The servant poured wine again. Rich Liu said: "This is far away from the city, there is no good wine to entertain guests, this is home-brewed Baogu wine, and the three distinguished guests will drink some." ”
After all, the rich man Liu has a rich family and is very generous in hospitality, not to mention that there is really a distinguished guest, that is King Shen. Rich man Liu understands the sophistication of human feelings, now is a troubled time, he does not dare to offend people, what if he offends people and burns down his village?
In order to avoid the Jinguan Dao people, the three of them wandered around the Dabie Mountain for a few days, sleeping in the open air, and did not eat a few full meals, nothing more than eating some wild fruits and drinking some mountain springs.
After being hungry for a few days, seeing such a sumptuous banquet tonight, the three of them drank and ate in large quantities.
After drinking and eating, Rich Liu accompanied him and talked for a while. Although this rich man treats people warmly, there is always a cloud of sadness on his face. The master didn't say it, and the three of them just had some feelings, but it was inconvenient to ask.
Sure enough, after talking for a short time, Rich Liu stood up and arranged for the three of them to rest.
This rich man is really magnificent, there are many houses in the family, and King Shen is arranged in one room, and Yang Shucheng shares a room with Xiong Songlin.
Yang Shucheng and the two lay on the bed, said some words, got a comfortable bed quilt tonight, and fell asleep one after another after a while.
At night, Yang Shucheng woke up and wanted to go to the surgery, but he was afraid of waking up Xiong Songlin, so he got up gently, gently opened the door, and walked out.
It was the middle of the night, and the full moon in the sky shone on the courtyard, and it was really like a frost and snow, and it was bright everywhere, and the surroundings were quiet, and the grass and insects were full of grass.
It was a separate courtyard, and Yang Shucheng found a corner, stood behind a tree with swaying leaves, and finished peeing.
was about to turn around and enter the house, but suddenly heard crying in the distance, Yang Shucheng walked a few steps, looked out, there was a light in the distance, as if there were several people crying, coming from afar with the wind, very sad and sad.
Yang Shucheng was a guest, and he couldn't be rude to snoop, but he couldn't help but turn the corner door and walked out.
