Chapter Eighty-Three: Together
"The scholar over there should be a master......
"So, you want to kill Jing'er...... Ours is the Dharma Master?"
"Shhhhh ”
Listening to the whispers of the coachman and the big man, the woman holding the child couldn't help but look to the other side, the scholar who was sitting and playing chess with the Taoist, rubbing her son's head and holding it tightly.
"Mother..... when will I see my father.....
The child leaning on the mother's shoulder was drowsy, and in the murmuring, saliva slid down the corners of the mouth, and the woman gently patted the child's thin back, and rubbed the side face against it.
"Soon, we will soon be in the capital, and Jing'er will soon see her father. ”
Soon the cave became quiet, and you could hear the sound of the wind whining outside, the soft sound of the woods, and the flickering of the fire, and the night watchman turned his face sharply, and saw the scholar on the other side approaching.
Looking at the woman who was asleep with the child in his arms, Lu Liangsheng handed his blanket to the man.
"I'm not going to go, you cover the children and the women. ”
Dahan looked at the scholar, then at the women and children over there, hesitated, but still took the blanket, saw the scholar turn to leave, and hurriedly got up and gave his hand.
"Cao Shouren, thank you, Mr. Guo. ”
"I'm called Mr. again, do I look very old?" Lu Liangsheng waved his sleeves at him: "Hurry up and cover her mother and son, you can go to sleep too, there will be no more things coming over at night." ”
probably thought that the master in front of him had laid a spell outside, and Cao Shouren took two steps to say goodbye.
"Shou Yan thanked him for his help tonight, and if he was sent in the future, he would repay him. ”
Over there, Sun Yingxian shook his blanket, wrapped himself up, and said with a smile when he lay down:
"Repay? Just said your name, why you were hunted down and killed, and didn't say anything, what kind of repayment, no sincerity. ”
When I chatted with the three of them before, I already understood the whole story, and complained that Lu Liangsheng didn't call him for such a fun thing.
Cao Shouren lowered his hand, turned his face to look at the burning flames, sighed, and inexplicably ran into the legendary master of immortal magic and Taoism, which was as mysterious as a dream.
"Sir, and that Daoist, I really can't tell the truth, Sir and Daoist just need to know that we are not evil people, and not all people in the court are good people. ”
People have good and evil, the big dye vat in the court, Lu Liangsheng once heard his teacher talk about it, otherwise Min Changwen would not have been demoted to the position of a county official like a joke.
Cao Shouren gritted his teeth and sank.
"Sir, it's actually ...... here"
Without waiting for him to speak, Lu Liangsheng put away the chessboard and waved his hand at the big man.
"Sleep, if you don't want to talk about it, you can keep it secret. ”
Dahan: "......."
There are some things that others don't want to talk about, and it is really not appropriate to pursue them, so after that, the sleeves of the robe brushed open a blank space on the ground, and the clothes are casually closed and lying on the side, and the toad Taoist slowly crawls over.
"It's really a bad person, give a blanket to someone else, where do you sleep for the teacher?"
Lu Liangsheng stretched out his arm and used it as a pillow for the toad.
"Master, just make do with it, I'll use my sleeve as a quilt for you. ”
"It's okay to count you as an apprentice. ”
The imperceptible laughter of the master and apprentice gradually died down, and the cave became quiet, and after a while, the snoring of the Taoist was already ringing out.
The light of the fire was warm and yellow, shining on the people on both sides who had no intention of meeting.
The night passed as the time passed.
The mountain fog dispersed in the morning sun, the bonfire in the cave had long been extinguished, and the smoke was wafting, Lu Liangsheng got up early, re-lit the bonfire to cook the food, and the Taoist helped to carry the bookshelf on the back of the old donkey.
Under the movement, the two men and a woman over there were also awakened, and the child in the woman's arms licked her lips when she smelled the fragrance of rice porridge.
"Mother...... Jing'er is hungry. ”
Lu Liangsheng scooped a bowl of gruel and handed it over, the child was also hungry for a long time, and hurriedly stretched out his little hand to hold the bowl, and the woman on the side hurriedly thanked him, and drank a few sips, the warm porridge water flowed through his mouth and stomach, and he felt warm all over his body, and the soreness of his feet dissipated a lot.
This is Lu Liangsheng deliberately added some medicine to the porridge that he bought in the city before, and applied a little spell to maximize the effect of the medicine.
Of course, I also served a bowl to Cao Shouren and the coachman over there.
"Getting together is fate, but after that, you and I will be separated. ”
Cao Shouren put down the porridge bowl from his lips, and couldn't help but ask, "I don't know sir, where are you going?"
"The capital. ”
Hearing this, the two men and a woman glanced at each other, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes, but they didn't make a sound, waiting for the scholars and Taoist priests over there to pack up and lead the old donkey away.
The three of them hurriedly followed out with the child in their arms.
.......
Birds happily fly through the woods and comb their feathers.
On the path below the branches, the two led a donkey and walked slowly and leisurely, and the Taoist with a withered grass root on one side turned back from time to time.
"The three of them are still following. ”
In front, the scholar who was holding the old donkey in one hand and holding a book in the other hand was reading while walking, his feet seemed to have eyes, easily avoiding the rugged road, and looking intently between the lines.
"I just want to borrow some protection, I didn't leave last night, which means that I already have this heart, I don't need to drive them away, I can help them, it's better than watching them die." ”
"On this river and lake, there are more wicked people than good people, can you save them. ”
Sun Yingxian felt that this scholar was good everywhere, but this heart was too kind, which was also the most unhappy place for him.
"Sooner or later, you will have to suffer a loss, and you will have a long memory. ”
The scholar closed the book, ignored him, looked for the map from the bookshelf and looked at it, it should be Muyuan County in front of him, and after passing through, he could continue to walk along the official road.
Just as he turned a fork in the road, Cao Shouren's voice came from behind.
"Sir, Dao Chief, you are taking the wrong road, and you should take the right side in the direction of going to the capital. ”
Gone wrong?
Although it is not the first time for Lu Liangsheng to go far away, it is the first time to use the map, and the sense of direction is indeed a little poor.
Laughed a little, put away the drawings, and behind Cao Shouren held the child, and the coachman and woman had caught up, panting and saying:
"Sir, why don't we lead the way, the four of us are also on the way. ”
looked at the two men and a woman who looked around nervously from time to time, for fear that the person who chased them last night was still wandering around.
Way?
The Taoist hugged his arms and snorted, and was about to say, "I'm afraid it's almost ...... if you want us to send you."
The breeze blew, and the woman's hair fluttered, revealing a delicate side face, as if sensing the gaze, and hurriedly pressed the messy hair back to her face, turning sideways.
The voice of the Taoist also changed abruptly at this time, looking at Lu Liangsheng on the side.
"I think it's okay, it's good to have someone lead the way, haha, right?"
"It's fine. ”
Lu Liangsheng saw the other party's appearance, the big man surnamed Cao, he also had an exchange last night, his face, demeanor and conversation, in the face of being hunted down, he could still think of protecting women and children, he was a well-known man, it would be a pity if he died.
And the Taoist opened his mouth to propose again, and he did not hesitate.
"Then the three of you, let's go together. ”
The three of them obviously exhaled heavily, and followed closely behind the old donkey, and the coachman also ran forward to help get some things, saying that it was not to crush the donkey, and Cao Shouren was not far behind, grabbed the reins, and helped lead the donkey while leading the way.
Lu Liangsheng had nothing to do, so he had to take the child over and put it on the donkey's back.
And the Taoist followed the woman's side, and from time to time took out various things from his pocket, such as yellow charms, demon mirrors, and field chickens, and ....... showed each other.
The group headed north.
There was also talk and laughter on the road, and there was harmony.
