Ordered to track down the thief, but the thief stole the horse, this is a shame in any way, and there is no way to hide it. The six of them were speechless, staring at each other with big eyes.

A doorman hung his head and said, "Nai, nay! How to return home? ”

Manshen almost cried and said, "What is the plan of Mr. Zhu? ”

One said: "We will look around, or we may see something." ”

Manshen was helpless, so he had to nod. In order to avoid danger, it is agreed that two people will work in groups to take care of each other, and all three groups will not leave their sight, and once they are discovered, they will inform each other. Mang Shen knew that it was difficult to achieve something, but he had no other way but to mess around. When he turned around and closed the door of the inn, he suddenly found that there was a crossbow arrow on the door, the entrance was not deep, and it was not shot in from a distance, it should have been inserted casually, so there was no sound. What's even more surprising is that there is a bamboo knot tied to the arrow. Almost at the same time, the six people let out an exclamation at the same time, and Mangshen hurriedly reached out to take down the arrow, and impatiently looked at the bamboo in his hand. A doorman rejoiced: "This is the festival of the doctor." Doctor, it's fine! ”

Another said: "If the festival is fine, how can the doctor be unharmed." If the thief robs the doctor and gets it, so it hangs here, what can I do? ”

Meng Shen carefully looked at the crossbow arrow in his hand and said, "The doctor should be fine." This arrow belongs to my Wei Wushu, and it is not something that others can have. Horse thieves will have warriors. ”

One person also took the crossbow arrow and looked at it, and said in surprise: "This is true! The arrows were passed in turn, some knew and some did not, but they all nodded and said, "It must be owned by Wu Wei, not by others." ”

Manshen said: "This is not a planning office, but a strategy. ”

One person picked up the clay pot that had fallen to the ground, and it had been broken in half, so he had to go inside to change it, go to the small ditch next to him to fetch a can of water, and return to the post to cook on the fire. Everyone worked together, took out vegetables, jams, salt, plums and other things, and put them in order, so that they could only be cooked. Fang gathered in one place to discuss.

One person said: "Today, there is the middle doctor's festival charm, and there are Wei Wushu's crossbow arrows, which are enough to restore his life." The doctor will be obtained for Wu Wei, in order to live up to the mission, that is, to go to South Korea, not to return. ”

One said: "Yes, yes! The doctor was anxious about the king's business, so he didn't return immediately. ”

When the others heard this, they seemed to think that there was such a thing, and that it was reasonable and good to deal with it, at least it was much better than saying that we had accidentally stolen the horse. Only Meng Shen smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen him, I haven't gotten the truth, I can't get anything in return!" ”

One said: "Although I haven't seen him, I can't say what I haven't learned." We tracked down into the Liangxi Post House, which is not worth it; The festival is really owned by the doctor, and it is not worth it; If you get the arrow, you will have all of it, and it will be worthwhile. With these three true, how can you say that you can't get the truth? ”

Manshen said: "What is his Naima? ”

One person said: "When the doctor leaves the danger at the beginning, he will have fewer horses, so the young general will give it to him, and the general will not be guilty." ”

Meng Shen smiled bitterly: "If there can be a horse in my mansion, I can give it to six horses!" ”

One humanitarian: "Although horses are rare, they are driven by the middle doctor, and they also get what they want!" ”

Meng Shen said: "Mr. He must be safe from the doctor, and he will be rewarded with this?" If I return, the head of the middle doctor will come with me, is it not the way to die? The question made everyone not reply for a while.

After a long time, one person said: "I can be sure that the doctor will be safe." Who? If the middle doctor is robbed by thieves and kills for money, He Lao drives thirty miles to Liangxiyi without harming him, and I will have his head early. This is one of them. Or if the doctor is captured by the thief, the thief will spread far away, why steal the horse and stay on the festival and tell each other? This is also the second. Who are the six of me, the horse is stolen and does not know, this strength is enough to take my head and I am ignorant, An can sit here, cook corn and cure fruits, salt and plum harmony! This is also the third. With these three, may the major general think about them. ”

Meng Shen pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think, Mr. Zhu?" ”

The crowd hurriedly replied, "Good, very good!" ”

Meng Shen had no choice but to say: "How to repay, may Mr. teach me." ”

One person said: "We followed all the way to Liang Xiyi." There was already a retinue of the middle doctor waiting here, holding the festival and saying: 'The doctor is fine, he has gone straight to Zheng Guo, he will be able to live up to his mission, and he will be free from worry'. When the major general saw that his entourage had no horses, he gave them six horses. I am equal to resting in the post for a while and then returning to my life. - This is not false. Although I haven't seen him, I want to see him. Time is urgent, there is no time to say, and I don't know the details. There is no leakage. ”

Everyone said, "That's exactly what happened." "The general direction was determined, and everyone agreed on various details with each word. When the corn is cooked, everyone takes his own plate and scoops the corn with sauce and salt and plums, and everyone is satisfied. There is a little left, some people are still willing to bring it back, and everyone advises: "There is still a long way to go, and there is a return to life, why is Su Wei?" "Just give up.

He got up and put out the fire, urinated in the ashes and poured the remnants of water on it to prevent the fire. The pots, plates, and bowls were all left in the courtyard, and they walked out the door and walked back to the girder. Along the way, the guests didn't know what to think, and Mangshen was always worried in his heart, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse to lie like this. But if you don't lie, how do you reciprocate?

When the six men went out of the city, they only carried bows and arrows because they were on horseback, and they did not carry any troops or crossbows. As soon as you walk, the inconvenience of the bow and arrow becomes apparent: the longbow and arrow hang on your sides, and you can't stop stumbling over your feet, and if you are not careful, the arrow will come out of the bag. After walking for an hour, all six of them were sweating; The bow and arrow were pushed behind him.

All the way from Liangxiyi to Daliang is a field, in the middle of the field, and the countryside faces each other. A doorman said, "It's really tired." He went to the countryside and begged for saliva to eat. "When one person proposes, everyone praises it as good, and Manshen is not easy to oppose. Seeing that it was still early, he left the avenue and walked along Qianmo to a village in the middle of the field. Before coming to the city, there was already an old man waiting at the crossing. Seeing that the six of them were all dressed as scholars, Shi Li said: "When this time of war, where are the sons going?" ”

Manshen said: "Our military envoys, the patrol is back, and they are thirsty on the way. May the old man give a lamp of water, which shows his kindness! ”

The old man said, "How dare you! Since you are a military envoy, please go into the house for a while. "Lead the six to a high gate on the side of the road.

Manshen asked, "But the elder?" ”

The old man said: "The child is the chief of the inside, and the leader is outside." There is no strong in the middle, only our old children. …… Da Mao, take the water from the jar, the military fathers are thirsty. ”

A child of seven or eight years old came over with a large jug. The old man wanted to go to the hall, but the six of them refused, saying, "Just take a break, don't dare to go to the hall." "Just stay in the courtyard. The old man and the child hurriedly took out two mats from the hall and spread them on the ground, and the six of them sat down. The child ran to the side. The old man also set up a small seat to accompany him. Scoop out the water yourself, and bow to each one. The six of them drank in turn, and the old man returned to his seat.

There was nothing to talk about, and Mangshen was also speechless, and asked, "Where is your township, how many households are there?" How many strong men are there? ”

The old man seemed to be familiar with his chest, and replied without hesitation: "Donghongli, Liangxi Township, Yiyi." Childe dares to know, there is a pond next to it, according to the clouds, there have been wild geese landing, so the name is Hongchi. The surrounding four miles are named after this pool. Thirty-six in the middle of the household, thirty-five in Ding, and one in the martial arts. ”

A doorman seemed to have found a topic and casually asked, "Are there still military soldiers in the middle?" What's Ho's name? ”

The old man said: "Zheng's Anping, see you on duty in Liangxiyi." Long away from home. ”

When Mang Shen heard the acquaintance, he said, "Gongzi Zheng lives here!" Who else is in the family? ”

The old man said: "The Zheng family has lived here for ten years, and there is no family. At the beginning of the year, an old minister came from Zheng Guo to vote, thinking that his family was in the middle of the road and difficult to maintain, that is, this minister was also old and sick. Zheng's benevolence and righteousness only ordered him to cook and eat, and the rest was self-reliant. ”

Mang Shen said: "I don't mean that Zheng Gongzi is so benevolent and righteous!" ”

The old man asked, "Dare to invite the Zheng family?" Wuyi is called the Zheng family, and the son is the only one. ”

Mang Shen said: "The Zheng family, after the Zheng Gong, although he lost the country, he had no son to call him. Besides, he has made great contributions in the army, and he will be rewarded in a few days, and you will have it! ”

The old man was immediately interested and asked, "May the prince be detailed!" ”

Mang Shen said: "Wei Gongzi Xinlingjun, do you know?" ”

The old man said: "Prince Xinling, no one knows. Under one person and above ten thousand people, Xinyi was gathered in the sea and heroes from all over the world. ”

Manshen said: "Yes. Childe was ordered to lead the army, and on the way, he was plotted by traitors. Zheng Gongzi stepped forward to take the sword, and the son of Xinling Jun was unharmed. Such a great achievement, is it rewarded in the small yes? ”

The old man slapped his knees and sighed: "Saving Xinling Jun with his body is also an immortal achievement; Even if others should also be rewarded, the belief in the benevolence and righteousness of Lingjun is not even doubled! ”

Manshen said: "That's right. ”

On this topic, everyone praised for a while, sighed for a while, and the six of them got up to say goodbye, and the old man went straight out of the road, and watched him go up the avenue and gradually go away.

When the old man saw the six of them walking away, he thought to himself: "I didn't expect that when the Zheng family was doing this, he actually climbed up with Xinlingjun,...... Don't ignore it......" While thinking, he entered the door and said to the children in the courtyard: "I will go to the Zheng Mansion in the back to explore, you can carefully guard the door, and you must not be greedy for fun!" "Child. The old man closed the door, heard the door bolted inside, and walked inside. In the midst of the barren grass, a small courtyard surrounded by a fence stood lonely, with a row of houses in the middle. Only then did the old man notice that there were three steps on the steps - "It seems that the Zheng family is really from a big family, and he usually doesn't notice it." The old man shook his head secretly, complaining that he was careless, thinking that he could never lose this opportunity to win over again.

He came to the door and reported loudly: "On the door of Zheng's house, please see the old man." ”

After a long time, I only heard a hoarse voice: "There is no one at home, don't dare to welcome the invitation!" ”

The old man said: "I got the news from your lord, and I came to tell you, and I hope that the price will be expensive for a while!" ”

After a long time, the firewood door of the firewood and grass room on the edge opened, and an old man with a white beard and a rickety body staggered out with a wooden stick. It seemed that he had been in the dark for a long time, and suddenly saw that the sun couldn't open his eyes, so he came to the door with his hand covered, and arched his hand: "The elder is here, and he must not wait, it is a capital crime!" ”

The elder said, "Is it safe at a high price?" ”

The old minister said: "Don't dare to ask Elder Lao, the accumulated illness is difficult to heal, but it will be the ears of the years!" ”
