Chapter 103: The Beasts Moved
He didn't know if Liu Yu was killed after a failed assassination attempt, or if he was arrested and put in prison. In short, it was Liu Yu who lost contact.
Zhou Peigong launched a fierce attack on the army led by Wu Sangui at the agreed time. Wu Sangui was seriously ill, and everything was handed over to his grandson Wu Shifan.
Because of Wu Shifan's young age and because he was guarding in Yunnan, many generals outside the country disobeyed him.
He didn't listen to the order, he still robbed the local area and changed places, like bandits, and didn't take the war seriously at all.
Zhou Peigong led the army all the way south to Yunnan, and the Zhou army was defeated and retreated. Finally, in April of the sixteenth year of Kangxi, Wu Shifan was killed in the Pingxi palace in Yunnan.
The war, which lasted for more than three years, finally ended in the sixteenth year of Kangxi. After defeating Wu Sangui's Zhou dynasty, Zhou Peigong reported to the Kangxi Emperor in the capital, including Liu Yu's disappearance during the assassination of Wu Sangui.
After Kangxi heard that Liu Yu was missing, he felt a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't tell what was going on?
Kangxi suppressed the discomfort in his heart and sent a letter to Zhou Peigong, who was far away in Yunnan, asking him to continue to clean up the southern battlefield and arrest Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi.
And the search for Liu Yu can't be given up, life to see people, death to see corpses.
After Zhou Peigong received the letter, he immediately organized people to start looking for Geng and Shang's rebels.
He also sent people alone to Hunan and Sichuan to search, especially Hunan. Zhou Peigong suspected that Liu Yu was imprisoned by Wu Sangui somewhere he didn't know.
Li Hengyao also got the news of Liu Yu's disappearance a few days later, and asked for orders to go south to find it.
Kangxi agreed after thinking about it, and asked him to send back the news as soon as he had it, and to ask local officials for assistance when he encountered difficulties.
Li Hengyao went on the road with a simple line, stopping and stopping along the way, and did not find Liu Yu after many inquiries, and the whole person was a lot haggard.
Liu Yu! Since recognizing his grandfather, his whole person has changed, and he is not as rejecting people as he was before.
will go up the mountain with the children of the Zhou family, play together, and study medicine with Zhou Mingyuan.
There are a lot of medicinal herbs in her space, and it is a waste of space if she doesn't study medicine.
Liu Yu also took out some prescriptions for incurable diseases in the space and copied them and handed them to Zhou Mingyuan, asking him to memorize the prescriptions and find an opportunity to experiment.
In this way, Liu Yu lived in Zhou's house for a month, and even bought land in Xiahe Village, built a big house and bought a few subordinates to serve.
The people of the Zhou family have never known Liu Yu's identity, and it is very strange why this Liu Gongzi has been living here for more than a month.
Although they wouldn't chase her away, there was something strange in everyone's hearts. How can someone stay in another house for more than a month?
In the end, it was Zhu Cixuan who came out to explain: Liu Yu is the grandson of his old friend and came to do something. You may stay in Xiahe Village for a long time, or you may leave soon, depending on when the matter is done.
After listening to Zhu Cixuan's explanation, the talents of the Zhou family did not discuss it in private.
Liu Yu built a house in Xiahe Village, and naturally invited her grandfather to come and visit. Zhu Cixuan was pushed to her residence by Liu Yu on a wheelbarrow, and praised her after a tour.
After that, as long as she was free, Liu Yu would use a wheelbarrow to push Zhu Cixuan to her mansion to chat and play chess. often go to Zhou's house to accompany him.
Until one day, a group of wolves came down the mountain and killed two villagers, and several others stepped forward to stop them and were bitten.
Liu Yu was not worried about the Zhou family's earthen house, for fear that the wolves would hurt her grandfather if it was not strong. Liu Yu asked all the people of the Zhou family to move to the Liu Mansion, but Zhu Cixuan was reluctant at first.
Who would have thought, not long after, not only the wolves came down the mountain, but also the tigers, bears, snakes, and other large beasts came down the mountain to plague the crops, biting and killing the villagers.
For a while, people were panicked, and many villagers moved out of the area and fled to other places.
Zhu Cixuan had to take his children and grandchildren to live in the willow house, and let his sons in the prime of life organize a patrol with the strong men in the village.
As long as a large animal is found coming down the mountain, the villagers are notified to hide with gongs and drums.
There were old hunters in the village who wanted to go up the mountain to check, but were stopped by the rest of the village. Some people even want to go to the government to report to the government.
Liu Yu wondered in her heart that the animals on the mountain would not come down until they had nothing to eat.
It's not winter, so how can so many animals come down the mountain to find food? It's unusual, what must have happened on the mountain?
will fall to these animals and run down the mountain to hurt people.
One night, Liu Yu took advantage of the fact that after all the Zhou family members were asleep, he went up the mountain alone with a sword to check the movement of the beasts in the mountain.
At night, the mountains are darker and the temperature is much cooler than below. Liu Yu took out a night pearl from the space to illuminate it, and then carried it to protect against the cold.
Along the way, he encounters many animals, which makes Liu Yu even stranger.
Generally, the periphery is only active in the periphery of small herbivores, why are these large animals also running outside now?
In this way, it will be very dangerous for the villagers under the mountain, and these animals will stay on the periphery and say that they will go down the mountain, and the villagers under the mountain will be dangerous.
Liu Yu carefully avoided these animals and hurried to the deep mountains. The more he walked inside, the quieter it became, and in the end there was no sound at all, but it gave Liu Yu a very dangerous feeling.
The more Liu Yu walked inside, the stronger that feeling of danger became. When he was about to approach the center, Liu Yu finally stopped, not daring to go any further.
Although she stopped, Liu Yu wanted to see what was in the center of the deep mountain, but unfortunately, she only saw darkness, even though she held the Night Pearl high.
Liu Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally left the mountain to go down. Came in a hurry today and was not prepared. I don't know what's going on inside, and it's dangerous.
You have to be fully prepared to go down. And my grandfather should also give an explanation, lest he think that he would not say goodbye.
When she got home, it was past the third watch, and Liu Yu took off her coat and slept under the covers.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn, and not long after I woke up, I heard a rapid sound of gongs and drums outside. Liu Yu hurriedly ran out with his sword.
As soon as he walked to the door, he was blocked by Zhou Mingyuan. Liu Yu asked puzzledly: "Brother Mingyuan, the animals on the mountain have come down the mountain and hurt people, why do you want to stop me?"
"It's because the animals are coming down the mountain that they want to stop you, those are fierce beasts, what are you doing as a scholar?" Zhou Mingyuan said in front of Liu Yu.
"Brother Mingyuan, I know martial arts, and I can help resist those fierce beasts. Liu Yu raised the sword in his hand and said.
"You can't do martial arts, you are a distinguished guest of my family, and you can't make any mistakes. ”
Zhou Mingyuan stopped Liu Yu from passing, and at this time, the sound of gongs and drums outside the door was getting closer and closer, and Liu Yu even heard the roar of the tiger.
Liu Yu didn't have time to explain to Zhou Mingyuan, so he bypassed him and flew out directly from the courtyard wall, leaving Zhou Mingyuan and the rest of the Zhou family stunned.
Liu Yu flew in front of the leading tiger and blocked the village of Xiahe Village behind him. Liu Yu's arrival made these beasts stop moving forward.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Yu turned back to Uncle Zhou and said, "Uncle Zhou, you first organize people to bring the injured villagers back, and I will stop you here." ”
