What if you ask the rivers and lakes?

Zhao Que walked around like this.

It can only be said that

It's okay to drink.

There are good guys and bad guys.

A good person's ten sentences are not separated from a sincere one, and a bad person, half-truths and half-truths, among the ten sentences, one truth is already extremely good.

Pine Forest City was behind Zhao Que, and it was thrown farther and farther away.

He didn't care at all about how much would happen to the officialdom of this city and the big families after he left.

And he, walking alone on the potholed official road, even complained to himself, why should he be curious about Miss Yang Zhi, this curiosity, implicated in the matter, made Zhao Que feel extremely disgusting.

The so-called middle-aged men and women of Lianhualou, for their own selfish desires, do evil, and also whitewash what they do, I don't know, everything has been done, whitewashed, can they feel that their conscience is so peaceful, or, they have long lost their conscience, the current good words, just to show others, prove, they represent the justice of the world, and the forces and people who oppose them are all evil ghosts in the underworld, and they must not die well.

Even the people in the market, Lord Zhuge who everyone sighed for, was not as the people said.

In fact, the middle-aged men and women of the Lianhualou are the same raccoon dogs, or perhaps, the two are the two people who have learned, so they have all kinds of means today.

Zhao Que didn't want to think about it, it is undeniable that there are many such people on the rivers and lakes, all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and the forces are colluding vertically and horizontally, which makes him dumbfounded and incredible.

said that the middle-aged man and woman wanted Yang Zhi to get out of the hands of the two officials of the government, and did not think of other strategies, but directly set fire to the street.

After such a fire, I don't know how many innocent souls died and were buried under their ambitions.

Could it be that this is the so-called, one will make ten thousand bones wither?

Zhao Que has fought in Xisai for so long, and it is not enough to describe how many people died on the battlefield of Xisai, but how can the two countries not die when they are at war?

However, just behind him, there was an unprovoked fire in Pine Forest City, and those who lost their lives and even their belongings in the fire maybe, really think that the fire was caused by water, not arson by people behind the scenes!

That's the most hateful.

This, and the chief official of Pine Forest City, Lord Zhuge , spread around, his wisdom, is simply the same thing.

The people are credulous, relying on their beliefs, Lord Zhuge has accumulated countless wealth, under the guise of serving the public and the people, he stepped forward and shouted in his mouth, the people are his parents, he is just an official who works for the people, in order to let everyone live a good life.

The next kick, I was thinking in my heart, how to accumulate wealth, use Lianhualou, extort a sum here, extort a sum there, Zhao Que didn't believe it, this Zhuge Lord, didn't put his mind on the people, such a dog official, dead, and many people miss his pretending merits, how can there be no irony?!!

The people who are kept in the dark are also a group of poor people.

Finally out of the territory of Pine Forest City.

Ahead is a plain.

Looking into the distance, the mountains are towering, and the highest one seems to be a sharp sword, wanting to pierce the sky, ask God, in the world, is there fairness at all!

Since the horses were stolen, Zhao Que jumped down the steep slope and found a way to walk.

He looked in the lower direction and headed for Meitang Prefecture.

Even if he has been on the battlefield for seven years, and is the head of the hundred generals of Great Xia, he has seen countless winds and waves at a young age, he can't help but ask himself, is everything he is doing now right, and there is nothing wrong with it?

There is a stream around it.

He inadvertently saw a few small flowers, tentatively revealing the flower bones.

Underneath the florets is a slightly clear green color.

It seems that in a few days, the grass will come out vigorously, and spring will fill the earth.

After walking for a long time, I felt tired, sat on the bank of the stream, scooped up the water, and drank a few sips.

The water of the stream is sweet and thirst-quenching.

A few fish, not afraid of people, roamed freely in front of Zhao Que.

The corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled.

Fish are carefree, how can anyone have a mind?

If the fish had a human mind, wouldn't it be even less enjoyable to swim?

Yu Sheng, then ruined.

He sighed.

Look up at the sky.

The spring breeze blows.

Zhao Que patted his butt and got up, turned to the big tree behind him, sat on the ground, lay on his back on the tree, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Peach blossoms in my dreams.

Among the peach blossoms, Li Mujian smiled at him loomingly.

Her beautiful face was full of joy when she saw him.

Zhao Que shouted something, but he didn't remember it when he woke up.

The world is so big, and I don't know when and where, I will meet Li Mujian again.

I don't know if Li Mujian's walking in the rivers and lakes is no different from him, when he first set foot in it, he felt that the rivers and lakes were fresh everywhere, and he saw a lot, and suddenly realized that the rivers and lakes were nothing more than that.

The morning was full of dew, and his clothes were soaked.

Laughed at himself.

The dew was so heavy that he didn't even feel it.

Did the eight-phase dragon python deliberately make him freeze to death in the wild, get out of trouble, and roam the world?

After reciting a few words silently, Jing Xinglinfeng's scriptures got up and walked into the distance.

No dry food was brought.

Disappointed to come out of Pine Forest City, in addition to taking the middle-aged woman's dozens of taels of silver as travel expenses, he was relaxed.

Without horses, the hard work of the road made Zhao Que hungry and tired.

At noon, I finally saw a village of more than a dozen families a few miles away.

Condescending, go fast.

The village is dilapidated, but there is also life.

knocked on the door of the first house in the village, and after a while, a rather rich old man opened the door, saw Zhao Que was slightly stunned, and then asked: "You are also a passerby?"

Zhao Que's stomach grunted a few times when he was hungry, and the old man chuckled, "You don't have to say, I know, you are also a passerby, come in, I am entertaining a passer-by at home, the meal is not ready, you and her, wait together, after eating, old age, I will not stay at you, the family really can't live, you can find another place to rest." ”

Zhao Que hurriedly clenched his fists and said gratefully: "People from Qingshi City, Nanyangzhou, Zhao Que, thank you." ”

"Oh, you're from Nanyangzhou, oh, such a long road, it's not very smooth, you should know how to do a few kung fu, otherwise, you will come here?" The old man welcomed Zhao Que into his home.

The yard was cleaned.

The broom arranged by himself stood by the wall, and a dozen fluffy chickens ran by the broom.

Under the opposite wall, there are six rabbit nests, each of which holds three or four rabbits.

And I heard the sound of pigs behind the house.

The old man's self-sufficient life seems to be really good.

"Old Bo Mo said, such a way, almost alive, if it weren't for Zhao Que's good life, he would be slaughtered by thieves halfway through. ”

"Alas, who says it's not, the big state where the little old man lives, the people know very well in their hearts, the terrain is complicated, and it is easy for people with bad intentions to occupy the mountain as the king, and often go down the mountain to harass passers-by, and there are jungle tigers, hungry, and kill people, so ah, little old man, he has never been far away in half his life, and he honestly stays at home, guarding three or four acres of fields, raising some animals, hey, the small life is gone.

Well, people are old and talk a lot, young people don't go to their hearts. ”

"Uncle, it's funny. Zhao Que smiled.

There was indeed a stranger seated in the room, and it was a young woman.

The woman looked beautiful and had a cold temperament, glanced at Zhao Que casually, drank the water in the water bag, and slowly waited for the meal to be served.

On the table, there were two or three taels of silver.

"Young man, sit down opposite the girl, I'll add a few more dishes, you eat together, hey, girl, don't dislike it, this offspring, will I eat with you?" the old man asked.

The young woman, smiling, shook her head and said, "They are all passers-by, bothering the old gentleman, but whenever there is something to eat, I am grateful." ”

"Good boy. The old man smiled in return, patted Zhao Que on the back, motioned for him to come into the house to cook, and turned to the kitchen with thick smoke and continued to cook.

Sitting down unhurriedly, Zhao Que's gaze, except for the beginning of a glance at the woman, did not make any excessive moves, he poured a cup of tea into the teacup, did not dislike the old man's teacup, the tea was dim, one bite after another.

Neither of them spoke.

Wait for the old man to serve the meal.

Grab the chopsticks.

The woman nodded slightly towards Zhao Que.

Zhao Que chuckled.

Two meals, the old man separated.

Zhao Que has one copy, and the woman has one copy, exactly the same, no one, no more, no less.

"Okay, you guys eat, they're all young people, they're all good children, so young, just come out and run around, aren't the family worried?!" the old man sat on the door frame and looked at the two.

The woman smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, I wish I could come out and wander." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, the talented girl told me, you are from the Jianghu Sect and have learned a good martial arts. ”

The old man chattered again, "Okay, at this time, with a good martial arts, I can protect myself."

I heard the old man of the neighbor say, it's not peaceful, well, it's not that we're not peaceful, but the world is not peaceful.

I don't know where the old man heard it, that look, swearing, as if tomorrow, the world will be in chaos.

Now, the old man plans to pack up and move to his son's house in the city, hehe, you don't know, this strong old man, his son has done business in the city and made a lot of money, a few years ago, let him move to the city, he had to not move, saying that he is not used to living in the city, here, plowing the land, raising chickens and ducks, comfortable. You see, it sounds like there's a lot of chaos in the world, and you run away immediately. So, man, don't look at what he says, look at what he does. ”

The woman was hungry, picked up the bowl, pulled it into her mouth a few times, swallowed it, sighed with satisfaction, she saw that Zhao Que only cared about eating, and did not speak, so she suppressed the old man's words, and said casually: "Uncle, your family?"

"My family is dead.

My wife died early, it snowed heavily a year, I froze to death, and there was a shortage of food, my children and I survived, she didn't survive, the evening was fine, and everyone was stiff in the morning.

A few years ago, the government came to recruit soldiers, and the eldest son went to the north, and within two years, the government wrote that the eldest son had died in battle, and his body was buried on the spot, and he gave me ten taels of silver.

The youngest son, conscripted, went to the west, came back four times, did not reply the fifth, and it was a letter from the government again, and the younger son also died in battle, and gave sixty-seven taels of silver.

Hey, the youngest son went to the west to join the army, but the government gave more than the eldest son, I was wondering, is the eldest son's money swallowed by the government, the younger son joined the army to the west, because the generals have hands and eyes to the sky, the government does not dare to swallow privately?

I don't understand, anyway, my wife, my two sons are dead, the old man and I, I have to get by, and I have to live a mixed life, hey, young man, my eldest son, it was at your age that I went to join the army, and the year my youngest son left, it seems to be seventeen or eighteen, I forgot, it's been too many years, I really can't remember.

Girl, what do you ask of my family?

It's all here!"

The woman's eyes dimmed, looking at the stunned old man, the bowl in his hand was stunned in mid-air, and in an instant, she stopped pulling rice into her mouth.

Zhao Que said: "Uncle, your youngest son went to the west to join the army, I heard that there were dead people, there is no local government, dare not give a pension, a few years ago, the government did deduct a few times, by the west of the army and horses, directly reported to the court, took dozens of official hats, and fiercely suppressed this evil wind, however, dozens of taels of silver, or less, the specific number I don't know, should be a hundred taels of silver, if you did receive dozens of taels, definitely in the hands of the local government, was stolen part. ”

The old man smiled and said lonely: "After so many years, what do you say about the lack of money, everyone is dead, why should I leave so much money? ! ”

The young woman looked at Zhao Que deeply, thinking about what he had just said, took two mouthfuls of rice, swallowed it slowly, and asked, "You have also joined the army?"

"Me?" Zhao Que glanced at her in surprise.

"Yes. ”

"Where is it, Zhao is just a scholar who travels to study. Zhao Que said.

The woman shook her head: "Something is wrong, you have an indescribable battlefield arrogance, you must have been a soldier, and you are the kind of soldier who has killed an unknown number of people." ”

"No, girl, you're kidding, how old am I, I haven't been on the battlefield, the northern border of Great Xia, Xisai, Southern Xinjiang, and the East China Sea Division, where are they, I don't know, how can I be a soldier?"

Zhao Que denied it thoroughly.

The old man immediately looked at Zhao Que curiously, shook off the old things, and said: "Yes, girl, this young offspring, handsome, and polite, if you say that he is a general who kills people without blinking, the old man, you don't believe it." ”

The woman hummed to the old man, and without further explanation, she began to eat her meal slowly.

She eats carefully, as if the food in the bowl is priceless.

The old man was satisfied with her attitude towards food, and could not help but sing a little tune.

The vicissitudes of life.

The words reveal pessimism and joy.

Let Zhao Que listen to the mixed tastes, I don't know what to say, I can only pick up the rice in the bowl, eat the old man's fried vegetables, the dishes are not fresh, they must be reserved for the winter, and look, the old man has fried so much, divided into two parts, presumably, the old man is fully prepared for the winter.

"What's the girl's name?" Zhao Que asked.

The woman suddenly looked at him, seemed to think for a moment, and finally said, "Lu Yan'er." ”

"What about you?"

"Zhao Que. ”

"The Que of the Heavenly Que?"

"Exactly. ”

"Good name. ”

"The girl's name is not bad. ”

After the old man finished singing, he asked, "Housheng, where are you going?"

Zhao Que turned his head to look at the old man and said, "Go to Meitang Prefecture." ”

"Meitang Prefecture! It's not far away, see you are walking, in a few days, you will enter the boundary of Meitang Prefecture, the old man can tell you, the road ahead is not easy to walk, you look at the big mountain, you have to climb over, in order to get to Meitang Prefecture." ”

"Isn't there an easy way to go?" asked Zhao Que.

"Yes, yes, but you have to take a long detour. ”

"If you go around, how long will it take to get to Meitang Prefecture. ”

The old man was still pondering, but Lu Yan'er said: "According to your footsteps, it is estimated that it will take more than half a month, that section of the road is the road taken by the merchants, and it is very safe, and the officials along the road know the proper protection of the caravan and clean up the bandits." ”

The old man asked in surprise, "Girl, are you from there?"

Lu Yan'er said: "No, I heard what people said, I also want to go from that side, but unfortunately, it's too far." ”

"Oh oh oh, yes, look at me, I'm old, my brain is not good, you also go to Meitang Prefecture, it's good, you two have a companion, and you have a care on the road!"

The old man laughed.

Zhao Que smiled, didn't agree, hurriedly finished pulling the rice in the bowl, felt that his stomach could still eat, and ate the old man's fried dishes.

Lu Yan'er is similar, eating cleanly.

She was starving, too.

"Let me tell you first, the mountain in front, the old man has never been there, Aunt Wang in the village said that her nephew went to go, and when he came back, he almost died, saying that he had encountered a mountain bandit, and I heard him say that he was a person from the village, there was no oil and water to squeeze, and after a beating, he was let go back, and since then, Aunt Wang's nephew has never been there. ”

"Does the government care?" Zhao Que asked.

Immediately, he suddenly felt that the words "the government doesn't care" seemed to have been said somewhere.

Along the way, I saw that the abnormalities were mostly due to the inaction of the government, or, in the government, more or less, meddling in and doing evil things together.

"What's the matter, that big mountain, it's too big, the old mountainman who goes up the mountain to hunt and collect medicine all the year round, when he enters it, he may have to get lost, the officials and soldiers go in, and there are many people, so that the bandits can see it, turn around and drill, let alone people, I can't see a shadow. ”

The old man sighed, "Oh, by the way, next to the mountain, there is a very urgent river, you must be cautious when you see that big river, legend, there is a dragon lord in the river, and when you meet a passer-by who is not pleasing to the eye, you will eat it in your stomach." ”

Lu Yan'er helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, "Uncle, in the world, how can there be any dragon king, there must be some kind of mountain bandit, scaring people!"

"Hey, it's different, it's different, someone has seen it. The old man retorted.

In the eyes of these old people, the weirdness in the world can mostly be related to the immortals.

"Meitang Prefecture, there are many mountains, and there are many immortals, I heard that Meitang Prefecture is secluded in the heavens, waiting to survive the catastrophe in the world and return to the heavens. ”

The old man leaned against the doorframe,

Zhao Que smiled: "Uncle, you have heard a lot. ”

"Hey, I'm older, I've walked more bridges than you've walked. ”

"Yes, I am convinced by this sentence of the old man. ”

"It's like this when people get old. Housheng, don't you think I'm annoyed?" the old man joked.

Zhao Que hurriedly waved his hand: "Where did the old man say, how could Zhao Que be annoyed by you! Zhao Que's family also has an old man, as the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure." ”

"Hehe, you young man is really good at talking. Oops, you two put the dishes down, both of them, and I'll clean them up later. It's a pity that there is really no one to live in the house, otherwise, you will be left behind. ”

Lu Yan'er said: "The old man has a heart, I am already grateful for being able to keep me for a meal, and it will not be long before it will be dark, little girl, don't disturb the old man." ”

"If you are not familiar with life, you must be more careful. The old man sighed.

"Thank you, uncle. ”

Zhao Que and her still cleaned the dishes, plates and chopsticks.

The two went out together.

It's getting dark.

The old man saw that the two of them could no longer see their figures, so he turned around and closed the door.

The spring breeze blew on his face, and suddenly, he saw a chirping swallow flying under the eaves.

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Even the swallows are accompanied by someone, and the little old man lives alone. ”

"People, you have to know how to be content, look at me, know how to be content, I am the only one left in the family, I live without heart and lungs, and if I am the same as the old brother Wang in the village, I don't know how many times I have to hang myself. ”

Walked into the field.

Follow the dirt road and go forward.

Neither of them spoke.

Zhao Que walked in front in a grand manner, and Lu Yan'er was behind.

She has good martial arts, Zhao Que can see it, and he weighed it in his heart, this young woman must have the cultivation realm of Xiaoyin Shangjing.

It's amazing.

Although it is the six realms of the world, how can there be so many geniuses in the world.

Those Tianjiao have long let the holy land of martial arts be found and brought back to the mountain.

"What's your real name?" Lu Yan'er asked suddenly.

Zhao Que didn't look back, he was full of food and drink, and his whole body was comfortable: "It's Zhao Que, Miss Lu doesn't believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it, but I believe that you have really killed many, many people, I don't know how much, I can see it. Lu Yan'er said with great certainty.

Zhao Que smiled: "Since you know that I have killed many people, you dare to walk with me all the way?"

"Because I'm sure you're no match for me. ”

"Are you a master of the three realms in the middle of the mountain?Oh, that is, the so-called half-immortal in the world?" Zhao Que asked.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yan'er said directly: "Yes, I am now in the Heavenly Extreme Realm." ”

"Heavenly Extreme, one step further, it is the Peaceful Realm, after the Peaceful Realm, it is the Penglai Realm, the carp jumps over the dragon gate, and stands on the top of the real mountain in the world, becoming a great master admired by everyone. ”

Zhao Que muttered to himself, as if he was talking to the woman behind him.

Lu Yan'er smiled: "Lie to you, the three realms of the mid-mountains are called half-immortals in the world, and the little woman wants to become a half-immortal in the world in her dreams." ”

"Half-immortal, hey. Zhao Que sneered, then stopped saying a word, and hurried away.

When he arrived at this step, if it weren't for Jing Xinglin Feng and Lu Yan'er, who was of unknown origin, how could Zhao Que walk in front alone?

Strange to say, he also felt his current mood.

Why have you become so cautious?

Where did Zhao Gouchen, who swallowed thousands of miles back then, hide?
