Chapter 165: Back to the Life You Used to Have
Pedal Pedal .....
The sound of hooves galloped on the official road, from the capital to the southeast, to Hegu County and Fushui County, and the official documents came and went, which were hurriedly conveyed to the local county government.
Soon, posters were posted.
It's all notices for the arrest of Lu Liangsheng, and next to it is Sun Yingxian with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek mustache, hmm...... There is also a portrait of a bald old donkey grinning and chewing grass.
The literate man read the above content, and the crowd behind him listened, and the crowd of onlookers also whispered to each other.
"This is Lu Liangsheng, the eldest is really handsome......" "Hey, brother, you are focusing on the wrong point, he is the most important criminal to be arrested." ”
"What's my business, I don't have the ability to arrest him anyway. ”
"..... this is from our Rivervalley County, how did it become a crime, I really can't figure it out. ”
"Hmph, it's bad for me to wait for the reputation of scholars!" "Alas, I heard that people from outside have come back and said that His Majesty has been humiliated first, but this is not what this proclamation says. ”
"...... that Taoist priest above is so ugly. ”
In this era, if it weren't for the official government to convey the list, a lot of news almost reached the ears of the people by the merchants who traveled south and north, and the overwhelming arrest was scattered in various cities and counties, and even in remote towns, causing a sensation, and the conversation in the past few days was basically about Lu Liangsheng, but for people who knew that 'there is an urgency, Lu Langzhu', they mostly scoffed at the content of this notice.
The heat continued, there was a circle of people watching and reading in front of the notice, the two people and a donkey standing outside the circle looked at it a few times, the Taoist touched his face, and looked at the portrait on the notice.
"This way is ugly? What kind of eyes, isn't it a little old, the painting is more than thirty, and it is strange to be able to catch it. ”
A common man next to him looked over, pursed his lips, and continued to listen to the previous lecture.
Hmph~~
The old donkey stared at the bulletin board, dissatisfied and wanted to squeeze in, opened the donkey's lips to tear it, was dragged out of the town by Lu Liangsheng by grabbing the reins, looking for a remote forest, tearing off a leaf to expose the coffin on the ground, resisting on his shoulder again, snapping his fingers at the Taoist, signaling to continue to go south.
The old man didn't figure it out. ”
In the shaking bookshelf, the small door was pushed open, and the toad Dao man hung his two little short legs, shook the pu fan angrily, and knocked the edge of the compartment.
“...... You don't talk about it, even this old donkey can be on the post, why can't I get on it, I can't look down on the old man?"
Hong Lian chuckled, and a voice came from the mural scroll: "Master Toad, that's not a good thing. ”
"Hmph, how could the old man not know. The toad turned his face to one side.
The Taoist glanced at the toad, continued to hold the bronze mirror, looked at the reflected face as he walked, and looked at it with his mouth and teeth.
"There's nothing ugly about this way, these people really don't know the jade face!"
Burst!
The old donkey turned his face from the front, squirted at him, continued to raise his hooves, and trotted behind Lu Liangsheng.
In the sound of humming, walking out of the woods, Lu Liangsheng looked at the strange and familiar mountains around him, acres and acres of fields, and the golden crops shook one by one in his sight.
It's almost harvest time.
"At this time, Lujia Village should also be like this. ”
On the way south, the pursuing officers and soldiers were not absent, Lu Liangsheng was unwilling to kill these irrelevant people, most of them used blinding methods and stealth techniques to dodge, just like that, on foot, and in a few days they came to the south of Hegu County by shrinking the land into inches, and it was only more than ten miles away from Fushui County.
I don't worry that the officers and soldiers of Fushui County will arrest his relatives, after all, when the Taoist left, he set up a magic circle, and as long as the people in the official mansion broke in, they would come out from the other side for no reason, and they would not be able to enter the house at all.
The sky was tilted, and I could see the outline of Fushui County from a distance, pick up the suburbs with few people, pass through the wall and stealthily, walk through the familiar streets, and go directly to the small courtyard where the teacher once lived.
In the half-open courtyard gate, a little boy turned his head to look over.
"Who are you looking for?"
The ancient trees in the courtyard are like canopies, the branches and leaves rustle in the wind, and the elegant stone benches and stone tables under the trees are long gone.
Lu Liangsheng smiled at the child, did not speak, and turned to leave.
In the house, it was as if the child's mother came out with a basin of laundry to be washed, and seemed to hear the child talking to someone just now, and looked at the door.
"Little Stone, who were you talking to just now? ”
"That's it!"
The child rose from the ground, his dirty fingers pointing at the backs of the two who had left the doorway.
"A Taoist priest, a strange big brother, and an old donkey, the big brother is still carrying a coffin, just like the ...... when grandpa died"
Suddenly, the basin fell to the ground, and the woman's face turned pale with fright, and she covered the child's mouth, and she saw no figure in her eyes at all.
.......
Out of Fushui County, the two of them didn't talk much, even the toad Daoist and Nie Honglian, who had always liked to talk, were rarely silent, and along the road under their feet, they went straight to the south, which was Lujia Village and Beicun.
The light of the sky hung on the top of Qixia Mountain, sprinkled the dusk light, the sound of jingling bells echoed in the road, and the figures in the golden fields were probably accustomed to the sound of bells around the necks of the horses coming and going, and occasionally only one or two people straightened up to relax their backs.
Then, seeing the two people and a donkey walking towards this fork, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, threw away the sickle in his hand and ran up the ridge, and shouted to the surrounding villagers who were buried in harvesting crops:
"Guys, don't get busy!!"
As the busy villagers straightened up, the farmer took off his straw hat and waved it at the dirt path that walked by the side of the road into the village.
"Good life!!"
When the villagers who were busy in the fields heard the name, they threw away their farming tools and rushed to the road.
"Liangsheng!" "Come on, Liangsheng is back!"
"I'll go inform Uncle Lu and Aunt Li!"
The younger one, clasping his baggy pants, ran barefoot on the ridge towards the village.
On the dirt road into the village, the crowd poured up, and surrounded Lu Liangsheng on the inside and outside of the three layers, but fortunately, he couldn't see the coffin on his shoulder, but he was still asking.
"Liangsheng, where have you been lately?" "By the way, the outside said that you smashed the emperor's palace, right?"
“...... Everyone be quiet, don't talk about it, let Liangsheng go home first, and don't mention his return to outsiders. ”
"That's it, it's the best people from Kitamura, don't talk about it......"
"That...... I'm from Kitamura. ”
Lu Liangsheng listened to the words of concern from the relatives in the village, he stood there with a rare smile, and from a distance, he heard a "Liangsheng!"
At the entrance of the village, the figures of Li Jinhua and Lu Laoshi trotted over, followed closely by eight strong men who were tall and tall and horse-like, and their muscular skin was metallic in the sunset.
"Mother. ”
Everyone separated and made way for Lu Liangsheng to look at the woman who came over, her hair was also graying a lot, and stepped forward to gently hug her in his arms.
"Liangsheng has worried you. ”
Li Jinhua slapped her son on the shoulder, wiped the water stains from the corners of her eyes, pulled her husband who was next to her to her son, and looked at the smiling villagers around her, and shouted at them with her waist crossed.
"Go and do whatever you have to do, what to see. ”
Everyone laughed out loud and dispersed, and someone saw the Taoist on the side and reached out to hug him, and the Taoist was startled and pushed him away for a moment.
"Hah!"
The eight people suddenly surrounded the Taoist in the middle, and in the loud shouting, the muscles of their arms swelled, their fists clenched, and there was a click, and in the open placket, their chest muscles were knotted, and they shook towards Sun Yingxian for a while.
Lu Pan picked his chin.
"Little Taoist, do you want to be rough again?"
The corners of the Taoist's mouth twitched, his face flushed aside, and he hurriedly squeezed out, leading the old donkey and galloping towards the village.
At the entrance of the village, Lu Liangsheng said a few words to his parents, asking them to go home first, he wanted to go to Qixia Mountain first, Li Jinhua and Lu Laoshi knew that their son was old and assertive, so it was not good to ask more.
"Come back early, your father and I will go back and cook the food first and wait for you. ”
"Hmm. ”
Lu Liangsheng nodded, waited for his parents to leave, quietly dragged the coffin with mana, walked to the path to the west of the village, and walked up the mountainside along the mountain path where he met Master Toad, the red rope that was once tied to the tree had long since faded in color.
As the sun sets, the west clouds burn red, like a xia robe draped at the foot of the mountain.
Lu Liangsheng put the coffin under the old pine, sat on a rock, and looked at the sea of clouds surging between the mountains, and the branches and leaves of the old pines nearby caressed lightly, and there was a light rustling sound.
"Teacher, what's the scenery like here?"
Soon, he stood up and used the technique of covering the soil in the "Five Elements Dao Method", and applied it retrograde, raising a crack in the soil and rock of Matsushita, and placing the coffin down.
He took a neat stone tablet from a large rock, pulled out the moon haze on his waist and carved a line of handwriting - the tomb of Uncle Hua Gong, and stood in front of the grave.
The moon was inserted on the ground and swayed slightly, Lu Liangsheng leaned on the old pine, sat next to the tombstone, looked at the sea of clouds in Qixia Mountain with his teacher, and gently read the books and texts that the old man had taught.
The glow of the sun swept through the mountain village like a veil, and the last ray of light fell.
A few birds landed on the treetops and combed their feathers.
The deserted fence courtyard became lively, the portrait of Hong Lian floated away to its original position and hung it up, Lu Xiaoxian ran over happily, and the two women held hands and turned a small circle.
In the small courtyard, the gray old hen was clucking around, and her head looked around as if she was looking for something.
The toad walker tiptoed out of the cubicle, clinging to the wall to avoid the swept sight for a moment, spread his flippers and ran into the small fiber room, for a moment, quite satisfied with the flippers, looking at the small clothes, couldn't help but try on a few, excitedly picked one or two sets, flicked his tongue and ran out of the door, just in front of the old hen who looked at him.
"The ...... of the Mother"
Throw off your clothes, and the battle in the dark will begin again.
Smoke rose from the stove room, the Taoist pinched two runes and was driven out by the woman with a spatula, not far from the donkey shed, Lu Laoshi rubbed his beard, looking at the strong donkey he had just bought like a gas bag, prostrate in the corner, and looked at the bald old donkey chewing the forage suspiciously.
When it was dark, Lu Liangsheng came back from the mountain and watched the lively scene in the small courtyard.
....... The once familiar life is back.
