Halfway through the journey, the sun was in the treetops, and a group of people appeared behind Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu naturally knew that it was the group of people who were resting in the wilderness, who were summoned by Uncle Tang, and walked in twos and threes. Zhang Yu quietly withdrew from the group of people, went to the side of the road and urinated, and did not say anything to them. That group of people naturally knew Zhang Yu, but they seemed to have been instructed to do something, and they pretended not to know. But all consciously move around this group of people. The six Tang people are in front, all dressed shortly; Erguo and Lu Bo are civilians; The five doormen were scholars; Zheng Anping's six soldiers were at the end, and they were also cloth. When Wei and his party saw the pedestrians on the road, whether they knew each other or not, they also nodded in friendly greeting, but they consciously widened the distance slightly to separate the group of people from the outside. Zhang Yan couldn't find a chance to talk to them, so he had to give up.

The first settlement on the itinerary arrived. The first team sat down in the open space outside the settlement, followed by the second and third teams. Er Guo and the others saw this group of people resting, and they also found a place to spread out and sit down. In this group, there were five or six people in the other group, and each of them found a place, gathered in a circle, or sat or lyed; Only Er Guo and Lu Bo were dressed as businessmen, and there were only three of them, and they walked straight towards the Wei family. About three zhang in front of the Wei family, Lu Bo took the lead, and Erguo was behind, bowed down and said: "The merchant Luoyang Lu family, worship everyone, dare to ask your hometown and your family!" ”

Zhang Yu only didn't know, sat in the middle of this group of people, and ignored it. Seeing the three of them coming over to salute, the elder of the Wei family pointed with his eyes and said, "Bring the merchant here!" A young man walked over, returned the salute, and brought the three of them over. Guo's uncle and nephew have only dealt with Zeng Ji, and they have never met with Wei and his party, and Zeng Ji has no idea where to go, so Wei and his party don't know the identities of the three people.

The three of them arrived in front of the elder of the Wei family, saluted twice, and said: "If you don't hear about your hometown and your family, you will be a big family if you have a hundred times of food and rice." A certain Yong in Luoyang Lu's family, fortunately acquaintance, how fortunate it is! ”

The old man of the Wei family said: "We are the late Zheng Wei." Dare to ask sir, what do you want? ”

Lu Bodao: "It was the old Zheng Hua clan, and it was disrespectful!" Dare to ask your fruit to open the seal, dare to ask your fruit to open the seal, and dare to attach the tail. ”

The old man of the Wei family said: "Where does Mr. come from, and what is the purpose of going to Kaifeng?" ”

Lu Bo said: "Wait for the cheap to rely on grain and rice to make a living, and I want to go to Kaifeng Jiazhi." ”

The old man of the Wei family said: "Rely on grain and rice to make a living? Who doesn't? The joking remark caused a burst of laughter from the people around him, and Lu Bo's face was embarrassed, but he tried his best to put on a smile to hide it. The elder of the Wei family was very satisfied with his cleverness, and without further quandering, he pointed to the three groups of people on the side of the road and said, "Do you also go to Kaifeng?" ”

Lu Bo said: "There are only three of us. These people only meet by chance, and they don't know where they are going. ”

The old man of the Wei family said: "There are such people who are just gregarious, but they don't, why do they ask for us?" ”

Lu Bo's face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to respond for a while. Seeing that Lu Bo was silent, the elder of the Wei family further said: "These three people are walking in the same way as you, and they are like ice and fire, who is the one who is close to us?" ”

Lu Bo blushed, gritted his teeth and said: "These three people, either short brown, or scholars, but your family is cloth, so I am willing to trust each other." ”

The elder of the Wei family laughed when he heard this, and said to the left and right: "The people of Luoyi, after all, have a lot of etiquette, and they follow the way, and they also regard their clothes. - Well, we are going to Kaifeng, and the gentleman will not give up, and will go with him—but he shall not be included in the ranks. ”

The three of them hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare!" Don't dare to disturb! ”

The elder of the Wei family was reluctant to say more, and waved their hands to let them retreat. The three of them took a few steps back, sat down on the spot, and took out the grain they had with them, but there was no water around, and they didn't bring a gourd, so it was difficult to swallow without water. Several people hesitantly stood up and looked around.

Zhang Yu understood that they were looking for an opportunity to get close to him, but it was inconvenient for him to leave, so he sat upright, put his hands on his knees, and closed his eyes. Seeing this, the three of them understood and made a secret signal to the other three groups of people, telling them to sit on the ground in peace.

The men from the front team came, each carrying a large jug of water. The jars were covered with a bowl. Several people walked up to the elder of the Wei family and said, "This town is quite lucky, there is a well, and it is quite sweet. ”

The elder of the Wei family opened one of the jars, poured out a little, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and nodded: "It's quite sweet." But I saw the water. The leader said, "See it draw water." Jar a penny. Thirty dollars in total. ”

The old man of the Wei family said: "Well, it's well water!" and assigned. The leader beckoned, and the leaders of the four townships came to fetch water. The leader instructed: Be careful, you can't break the jar or bowl, you will lose money.

Obviously, the one who took the lead did not pick the door, after each group of people took away a jar of water, there were still four cans left here, and there were only more than ten people around the old man of the Wei family. The elder of the Wei family instructed: "This water is inexhaustible, so put a few gourds to hold it." ”

The leader said, "Let's go to the city." ”

The old man of the Wei family said: "Work hard ahead, and go after eating." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu stood up and said: "Don't work for the eldest brother to go, the kid is in the queue, defenseless, uneasy, dare to go." ”

The old man of the Wei family said: "You have a reason in the city? ”

Zhang Yu said: "No reason." ”

The old man of the Wei family said: "Do you know who is the gourd? ”

Zhang Yu said: "Although there is no reason, I have passed through the township, and those who know that there must be Jia among them will not be guilty." ”

Although the leader began to volunteer, but it was just to please the elders of the Wei family, but he didn't want to go, so he said to Zhang Yu: "If you enter the three families in the city, you can go to Jiazhi." Depending on the size, the money may be one or two or three. ”

Zhang Yu said with a deep salute: "I deeply feel the kindness of my eldest brother. If the boy goes this way, he will succeed. ”

Seeing that the two of them sang and harmonized, they knew that they were tired all the way, and everyone was comfortable, and it was not easy for someone to be willing to do things, so he said to Zhang Yu: "You go to Jia, and you will write off the account after the matter is completed." ”

When Zhang Yu heard this, he was stunned in the local area: I have to advance my own money in a hurry! The people around felt that this person might be shy, and deliberately coaxed: "Let's go to Jia Zhi, and write off the account after the matter is completed." ”

Zhang Yu was stunned, left with a deep salute, and walked straight to Lu Bo and the others, and gave a deep salute. When everyone saw Zhang Yu doing this, they all burst into laughter, laughing at his nameless penny, and praising his impatience and wisdom. Sure enough, as everyone expected, Lu Bo and the other three people saw Zhang Yu giving a salute, and stood up together to return the salute, and when they leaned down, Lu Bo went to the city with Zhang Yu. The old man of the Wei family said: "You should know that those who travel to the princes are poor if they are poor, and they know if they are like this." The crowd burst into laughter.

Zhang Yu and Lu Bo finally came together, Zhang Yu took on a polite and virtuous corporal posture and was polite to Lu Bo; Lu Bo put on a respectful posture and responded to all questions. All the way to the city.
