Seeing that Ouyang De insisted on not accepting this bag of silver, Da Kui not only sighed: "In this case, senior, please listen to me." ”

Ouyang De couldn't help asking: "The general has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak." ”

Da Kui said earnestly: "Pingliang Town is stationed with 5,000 elite soldiers of our Ming Army, and there is a headache and brain fever on weekdays, and Mr. Ouyang who is bound to bother Jishitang in the town. Those who serve in the army are all bitter haha, how can they have the money to buy medicine to cure their diseases? Now that they have been fighting for many years, they don't know when their salaries will be paid. This bit of silver should be used as a locker for the soldiers to grab medicine, and Ouyang seniors should not shirk anymore. ”

Ouyang De looked at the silver bag in Da Kui's hand and sighed: "The general left his post and returned to Lanzhou to resume his life, and he still cares about the soldiers of Pingliang. The old man admired, so I will accept this silver, this time the old man will often go into the mountains to hunt, and after a while, together with the herbs, it will be sent to the Pingliang Labor Army, the general can rest assured. ”

Da Kui smiled and handed the silver to Ouyang De, and arched his hand: "In this case, the junior will leave." ”

Who knew that Ouyang De called: "The general stays, there is something that the general must take away." ”

Da Kui was puzzled, but saw that Ouyang De had turned around and returned home, and when he came back, he was carrying a burden in his hand. Ouyang De came to Da Kui's side and said earnestly: "This is the tiger that the general beats, the old man of the tiger's organs has been soaked in medicinal wine, and the bumps and bumps on the road are very inconvenient." This tiger skin has been made into a soft quilt, and the general saddles his horse all his life, and carries it with him to keep out the cold. ”

Da Kui took the burden and said with a smile: "Senior Ouyang is really a caring person, Zhang Dakui thanked him." As he spoke, he handed over the burden to Yang Xiaohu and solemnly saluted Ouyang De. Ouyang De hurriedly returned the salute, and the two sides were already reluctant.

The mountains are covered in silver, and the breeze is warm and the sun is warm. Da Kui and Yang Xiaohu galloped all the way west to catch up with Kang Maocai.

On the way, Yang Xiaohu said loudly: "Father-in-law, before leaving, Aunt Ouyang gave me some pickled tiger meat, saying that she would take it with me in case of emergency." ”

Da Kui replied loudly: "Everything needs to remember the good of others, and when the world is peaceful, you and I will come to visit Senior Ouyang." ”

Yang Xiaohu replied loudly: "Remember, child. ”

The sound of hooves was audible, and in an instant, the carriage and horse team in front of it was in sight.

Da Kui and Yang Xiaohu rode up to catch up with the team, and then slowly rode their horses to the front of the team and walked side by side with Kang Maocai.

"General Kang, if the world is too peaceful, where are you going to go?" Da Kui had nothing to say, Kang Mao was a man of all who was talented in humanities and martial arts, and he was very strategic, Da Kui liked to chat with him very much. As the saying goes, if you are close to Zhu Zhechi, it is very good for your mind to talk to smart people more.

Kang Mao asked when he saw it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "My parents died when I was a child, and it was all up to my eldest brother to bring me up. We have three brothers, and I am the third. That year, there was a famine in my hometown, and my eldest brother and second brother both starved to death. When the eldest brother was dying, he cut off his arm and handed it to me, saying, "Eat this arm when you are hungry, and find a place where there is a house to find a way to live." Our Kang family is left with you, live well, don't cut off the Kang family's incense. ”

When he said this, Kang Maocai's voice was flat, as if he was talking about ordinary household things. But Da Kui saw deep sadness in his look.

"We've worked together for so long, and I still don't know where General Kang is from?" Da Kui deliberately avoided the words, so as not to provoke Kang Mao to talk about sad things.

Kang Maocai said with a smile: "I am from Qizhou, Anhui, and I have heard that General Wen is from Jezhou, Shandong?"

Da Kui nodded and said, "Well, it's from Wulitun in the east of Jeju City, Shandong." ”

Kang Maocai didn't ask again, but said something that didn't look for the edge: "I once heard people talk about the general, the general must know that if he is in the army, he must be used to life and death, and only the iron heart is not easy to be injured." ”

Da Kui couldn't help but be stunned, and asked softly, "I want to hear about it." ”

Kang Maocai sighed: "As a general, I should be considerate of my subordinates, otherwise this is not enough to tie his heart. Thousands of armies work together, they can attack the city and pull out the fortress, and they are invincible. Da Kui felt the same way when he heard this, and couldn't help but nodded.

Kang Maocai continued: "The subordinate sergeants face each other day and night, and share weal and woe. As a general, he is naturally treated like a brother when he takes down his subordinates, don't you know the bloody cruelty of the territory, and the brothers who are alive today will become dry bones in the wilderness tomorrow. ”

Looking at the wilderness and snow, Kang Maocai sighed and said: "Is the human heart better than the iron stone? Over time, the general is bound to decide the seven feelings, so hardening his heart is the best policy." ”

When Da Kui heard this, he couldn't help but think of the past. Think about back then, as the mighty general of the Jiangbei Red Turban Army, what a majestic and glorious one? But seeing the brothers around him die on the battlefield, he also had his liver and intestines broken afterwards. As a political envoy to Jiangnan, how many close friends and brothers did he have around him? Daya Mountain was completely wiped out in the First World War, and he was once again disheartened. But he had to pretend that nothing had happened and led the people of all ethnic groups to seize Shunyuan City. Thinking of the past at this moment, Da Kui still felt a faint pain in his heart, so he simply put aside the things in his heart.

"Does General Kang have a family?" asked Da Kui, pretending to have nothing to do.

Kang Maocai said with a smile: "I still have a wife and children at home, and when the world is peaceful, I will go home to enjoy happiness." ”

Da Kui smiled when he heard this: "I am also the same, I just hope that the world will be peaceful, and I will be able to grow old in the countryside at that time." ”

Kang Maocai nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, general, there will be a day." ”

Speaking of women, Da Kui's heart hurts again. Huang Ying doesn't know what happened now, and when he was in Yunnan, Da Kui got acquainted with Sima Yan, the owner of the swallow wing building, and had a dewy relationship with him in Shi'ao Village. It's just that when he arrived in Zhongqing City, Sima Yan disappeared. Thinking of this, Da Kui not only looked up at Changtian, but silently said in his heart: 'Sima Yan, where are you?'

For many days and nights, Sima Yan appeared alive in Da Kui's dreams. In the dream, Sima Yan's shadow even overshadowed his wife Huang Ying.

The autumn breeze is clear, and the autumn moon is bright. The fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws are frightened. Lovesickness knows when it is, and it is embarrassing to be embarrassed at this time. Enter my lovesick door, know that I am lovesick. Sauvignon Blanc is long and remembrance, and Sauvignon Blanc is infinite. I knew it was so stumbling, how could I not know each other at the beginning. This is a poem, which is a famous work of the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai.

At this moment, Da Kui's state of mind is exactly as he said: I knew that it was so stumbling, how could I not know each other at the beginning.

As it was getting dark, the procession came to a hill with a forest on it.

Da Kui stopped and said: "This is the boundary of Qinglan Mountain, tonight I will rest in this pine forest, and I will hurry up as soon as it dawns tomorrow, and I expect to cross the Guanchuan River tomorrow night." After that, he ordered: "Yang Xiaohu explores the way." ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaohu rushed forward and ran straight to the pine forest in front of him. After a while, Yang Xiaohu rode out of the pine forest and waved his hand to the team. Seeing that there was no incident, Da Kui ordered the team to move forward.

That night, the soldiers used horse-drawn carriages to block the limelight, then dug earth and stones to build a windbreak wall, and collected firewood to build a bonfire. Everyone sat around the fire and leaned close to each other to keep warm, Da Kui was in good spirits at the moment, and he was not tired at all, and he chatted with everyone until midnight.

Everyone has walked all the way, and they are already tired. Da Kui said: "You wait for a rest, I will be on duty tonight." ”

Kang Maocai hurriedly said: "You are a general, how can you be on duty at night." I'll do it tonight. ”

Da Kui laughed and said, "Who said that a general can't be on duty at night? ”

The two argued, and finally decided to talk all night together. Having said so, seeing that the soldiers were sleeping soundly, the two stopped talking. After waiting for a long time, Da Kui said: "I'll do this for one night tonight, I'll go hunt a few rabbits, boil a pot of hot soup tomorrow morning, and give the brothers to go to the cold." ”

Hearing this, Kang Maocai couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "It's dark night in this barren mountain and wilderness, where is the general going to hunt rabbits?"

Da Kui chuckled and said: "General Kang doesn't know, I, Zhang Dakui, was a woodcutter in my early years, and I have a hand in this set of rabbits. On the way I came, I had already seen the sight of a hare, and it was just right to get off the sleeve so that I could eat the hot broth tomorrow morning. Saying that, Da Kui stood up, and Yang Xiaohu also stood up to follow when he saw this.

Da Kui smiled and asked, "What are you doing with me?" It's only proper to take care of the carriage and horses here with General Kang. ”

Yang Xiaohu hurriedly said: "The black light is blind, and my father-in-law is afraid of an accident if he is alone." ”

Da Kui laughed and said: "With my ability, no one can hurt me, even if there is a tiger and leopard Chai Liang, I am not afraid, and the tiger can be killed, what are you afraid of? Da Kui said, picked up the dragon sword and turned into the dark night.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaohu couldn't help but squat down angrily, and muttered: "How can there be such a general? I don't sleep in the middle of the night to hunt rabbits!"

Kang Maocai smiled and said: "The general is going for a pastime, I don't have to worry about it." When I talked to him today, I saw that he seemed to have something unspeakable in his heart. Presumably it was me who spoke more heavily, reminding him of the past. ”

Yang Xiaohu couldn't help but ask: "My father-in-law is still injured, what should I do if something happens?"

Kang Maocai smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry about the little general, the general Jiren has his own natural appearance." Besides, he is burdened with world-class martial arts, and there is nothing to talk about. ”

Hearing Kang Maocai say this, Yang Xiaohu relaxed slightly.

In the night, Da Kui galloped eastward, carefully watching his surroundings along the way.

The hare is always nocturnal and nocturnal, and cannot see far in the darkness. However, his hearing is extremely keen, and he will run for his life if there is any noise, which gives Da Kui a chance. In this run, there are five or six hares that run away, but whenever they encounter hares, Da Kui has already been greeted by flying stones. Every time you make a shot, you will be hit by the stone.

In less than two hours, Da Kui had already beaten six rabbits.

Looking for the grass knotted rope, tying the rabbits together and lifting them in his hands, thinking about beating a few more. But inadvertently saw the light of a bonfire flickering in the distance, Da Kui couldn't help but be shocked, and then lightly touched the firelight carefully.
