The golden light flooded the eastern clouds, pushing the black edge to spread quickly through the distant foothills, small villages, and patches of forests, illuminating the small temple in front of them.

The dew-filled blades of grass were also rolled into the mouth with their tongues stretched out, and the old donkey chewed and hissed, looking sideways at the temple gate.

The morning light sprinkled into the temple gate, the burned bonfire and the faint aftersmoke swirled, in the light, a figure walked by, Lu Liangsheng came out with two bookshelves, and placed them on both sides of the donkey's buttocks.

Behind, the toad who came out walked into the sun wrapped in flower clothes, felt the warmth shining on his face, and stretched lazily.

Whew......

With a long yawn, he smacked his lips, went under the bookshelf, climbed on the rope and sat in the cubicle.

"It's time to go back now, right? Outside, I'm a little unaccustomed to being a teacher.......

The toad said as he wrapped the rope around his waist and fastened it: ".... People who want to indulge in the mountains for a teacher will actually like to live in a small place. ”

"Master, that's thinking about Lujia Village. ”

Packing his bags, Lu Liangsheng turned around and smiled, straightened the reins, and sat on the back of the donkey, let the old donkey go to the southeast, and return to Qixia Mountain along the road.

This has gone through two trips, the old donkey is probably also familiar, without Lu Liangsheng's guidance, along the way while eating the grass blades on the ground, while happily moving forward, down the foothills, the autumn sun becomes bright, on the road leading to the capital, pedestrians and business travelers are in a hurry, mixed with them, there are many packages on their backs, dragging a family of old and young people, driving donkey carts, or pushing wheelbarrows, carrying chickens and ducks, all the valuable objects that can be taken away at home, slowly surging towards the southerly place.

Unlike the atmosphere on the other side of the river, this side will be a battlefield, and it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

In the noisy sound, Lu Liang gave birth to an old donkey, pulling the reins and squeezing through the crowd, around, footsteps and shouts were mixed, and the road was full of people fleeing south.

"Let's go, take everything away from home, don't leave it to the Sui army, they don't blink an eye when they kill people, maybe they will go south tomorrow, once they cross the river, they may be killed by the old and young in the family, that's really a chicken and a dog......"

Dressed in yamen costumes, they rode on horseback and neighed and shouted in the surging crowd, but they were still small compared to the countless mixed voices.

There was a woman carrying a basket on her back, which was the food stored in the house, pushing and shoving in the crowd in a panic, looking around for something, and next to her, there was a shirtless man, who should be her man.

"Stone! Little stone! Answer mother"

The woman was crying and asking, and her husband was doing the same thing on the other side, his face was anxious, and his eyes were red.

"Stone, where are you?!When you hear your father's voice, you should say!!"

Squeezing a few zhang away, Lu Liangsheng quietly tore the cloth of the child's clothes in his hand from the woman, and used a small spell to trace the child, who was more than ten feet away from the roadside, and sent the crying child to the husband and wife.

There is no end to the crowd, such a scene, as if he saw the tide of disaster victims when he returned to Heliangzhou, fortunately in the hinterland of Nanchen here, after the autumn harvest, the people will have more or less surplus food to eat, so that there will be no tragedy in Heliangzhou at that time.

Passing by the capital Tianzhi, the city at this time has entered martial law, from time to time you can see the cavalry whistling by, and when you meet a scholar like Lu Liangsheng, you will also come to investigate.

"It should be the beginning of spring next year, and the big war is approaching. ”

Looking at the city wall in the distance, Lu Liangsheng had no intention of going in, so he took the old donkey and turned to the direction of the south, and rushed back to Qixia Mountain.

Looking up, under the starry sky, on the edge of the cliff, a crouching fox shadow looked in the direction of Lujia Village.

"Wait for me by the roadside. ”

Lu Liangsheng patted the donkey's head, a dodge, the afterimage leaped along the mountain forest, a few back and forth have come to the top of the mountain, walked through the mossy rock, turned into a fox rouge sat under the stars and moon, looking at the village with lights on the opposite mountain, and heard footsteps coming behind him, waving his fluffy red tail.

Immediately, he stood up, blinked and became a beautiful woman, and gave a blessing.

"Rouge has seen sir. ”

"It's not polite, it's just that I hear you hissing and come and see. ”

Lu Liangsheng looked at her, walked to the side, and also looked at the mountain village over there, "If you miss the child, just go over and have a look, don't be so restrained." ”

"The concubine is afraid of disturbing the husband's parents. Red Fox also has concerns, she fell in love with her husband Zhang Liancheng before, which had a great impact on Zhang Dongming and his wife, and as a demon, it would also harm the health of mortals.

Probably seeing her thoughts, Lu Liangsheng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I still have the Rakshasa Ghost Red Mercy there, and I haven't hurt my parents, so it's okay to restrain my demonic spirit." ”

"Rouge thanked Mr. for his kindness. ”

The red fox shook his head after thinking about it, stepped back to the side, and bowed to the scholar: "Mingyue was taken in by Mr., and the concubine can stay so close to Mingyue to practice and recuperate, I am already grateful, and I dare not ask for too much extravagance." ”

"Whatever you want, anyway, I promised you to visit the child. ”

After speaking, Lu Liangsheng didn't talk much about it, turned around and turned into a blur in a few steps, disappeared into the forest in front of him, and returned to the foot of the mountain.

The scholar naturally saw that he was careful, smiled and pulled the reins, and led the old donkey back to the village.

And then... The reins slipped off in his hand, and even the old donkey froze, and ran to the place where the donkey had been shed, looking for a place for him to sleep.

The original fence courtyard is gone, the houses built, only a few walls stand, there are cut wood, bricks, sand and gravel everywhere, not far away Yu Wentuo, Li Sui'an, Qu Yuanfeng huddled together, sleeping on a straw mat, overlapping each other's legs, their faces were dirty, in their dreams, they rubbed their mouths and noses with their hands, and continued to sleep sweetly, without feeling that anyone was looking at them.

"These three little guys are not afraid of catching a cold. ”

I didn't see my parents and sister around, so I must have stayed at a relative's house, Lu Liangsheng sighed and pinched his fingers, and cast a spell to warm up the three teenagers on the straw mat, so as not to catch the cold.

The old donkey didn't find the place where he used to sleep, so he hung his head a little aggrieved, stretched out his mouth and dragged the sleeve of his master's robe.

In the bookshelf compartment, a small door creaked open.

The toad Taoist crossed his arms, and he was also stunned, and turned his head to look at the apprentice: "Where does the teacher sleep tonight?"

"There is a place to sleep. ”

Lu Liangsheng thought about it, snapped his fingers, turned around and left, the old donkey consciously followed, all the way to Qixia Mountain in the west of the village, along the mountain road that he had walked countless times, and came to the old tree.

"Two years ago, I told Lao Sun that I would no longer be an official, and I would build a shed here in the future, but I didn't expect to see it so soon. ”

As if laughing at himself, Lu Liangsheng took down the bookshelf, threw the Yuehao Sword aside, shook off his sleeves, and sacrificed the "Five Elements Dao Law", there was a sudden sound on the mountain, the dense forest swayed, and in a breaking sound, the broken treetops, withered yellow grass and trees flew out densely.

The stout wooden pillars were inserted into the ground, and the rocks on the ground cracked open, wrapping the wooden pillars and forming the four corners, and then the thinner branches swarmed on the pillars of the four corners to build a wooden wall, and the branches and leaves on it were still there, growing luxuriantly, and serving as roofs, or blocking the gaps tightly, and the shrub branches extended along the walls, surrounding the city with a fence, and a few relatively flat rocks in the distance fell down and turned into stone benches and stone tables.

In a moment, the thatched house adjacent to the tomb of Lao Song and the teacher was completed, and the foundation of painting, coupled with the control of the five elements of the Tao method on plants, trees and rocks, made the house easy for Lu Liangsheng.

Fingers tapped a little over the thick walls of grass and trees, and the intertwined branches and leaves staggered and moved, revealing a door that could be accessed at will.

Walking inside, the bookshelf was thrown to the ground, and the withered vines and branches extended from the wall, interweaving a soft and collapsed desk, hanging the scroll on the wall, and slowly lowering it to reveal the red pity.

The books were piled up on the desktop, and the ink inkstone brush was placed, and it was the ink fragrance study again.

"How's Master?"

Lu Liangsheng lit a candle to illuminate the surroundings.

The small door of the bookshelf over there was pushed open, and the toad man yawned, carrying a black-striped gourd on his back, with a cigarette stick hanging from his waist, drowsy holding his bedding, drooping his eyelids, and drowsy out, climbed up and lay down, covered with a small quilt, stretched his limbs comfortably, and shrunk inside.

Hush... Call... Hush...

After a while, he fell asleep.

After several days of hurrying, Lu Liangsheng was also exhausted, and drowsiness struck, so he was next to the master, making do with a deep sleep.
