Chapter 31: Discouraged

The general cried: "Originally, General Liao Yongzhong and His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming were talking, but who knew that King Xiao Ming was so sad when he talked about the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Liu Cheng. General Liao comforted and said that he would take King Xiao Ming out to breathe, but King Xiao Ming accidentally fell into the water when he arrived at the side of the boat. Da Kui said angrily: "What are you doing?" The general said sadly: "At that time, I followed behind King Xiao Ming, and it was too late for me to rescue King Xiao Ming when he fell into the water." Da Kui didn't care about complaining about the general, and he was anxious to look at the river at a loss.

It took a long time for Liao Yongzhong and several boatmen to emerge from underwater. Since someone took them onto the boat, Liao Yongzhong couldn't care about getting soaked, walked to Da Kui's side, knelt down in pain, and said bitterly: "General Zhang, the young general is incompetent. King Xiao Ming was not found in the water. When Da Kui heard this, he sat down on the deck as if his body had been drained of bones.

As soon as Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, died, the last hope of the Jiangbei Red Turban Army was shattered. The Great Song Dynasty, which Liu Futong worked so hard to manage, no longer exists, and this short-lived Great Song Dynasty is the [Later Song Dynasty] in history.

Da Kui was sitting on the side of the ship at this time like a lost soul, Prime Minister Liu Futong and the generals were killed, King Xiao Ming fled to the Yangtze River and drowned, and now Da Kui is about to die.

Thinking of drinking and talking with the generals, and thinking of fighting for his life together, Da Kui shed tears on his face. Liu Futong is so kind and friendly in his voice and smile, he can be invincible on the battlefield, thanks to Liu Futong's order to demonstrate martial arts, and he personally explained them one by one, so that Dakui has today's achievements.

Thinking of Jia San, who died in battle, he was cut by a thousand knives when he died. In the past, laughing and scolding, Da Kui felt that he and Jia San were really like brothers. He still owes me ten taels of silver .......

Feng Biao went down the mountain with him, and he made great achievements in the army. Who wants to die in the eagle's beak, but the king of Xiao Ming, who sacrificed his life to protect him, is a corpse sinking into the Yangtze River, and he can't even find the corpse capital.

Da Kui sat on the side of the boat like this until the big ship came to shore. The general came over and greeted, "General Zhang, the ship is docked." Da Kui woke up like a dream, got up and got off the boat. Everyone went to another boat and led their horses, but they were all at a loss.

The generals couldn't help but ask Da Kui: "General Zhang, what should we do?" Da Kui was silent, and one of them said: "It's better to go to vote for Wu Guogong together, didn't General Zhang know General Tang He, the general of Wu Guogong, and happened to introduce him on his behalf." ”

Da Kui's heart was like a knife at this time, but he was a little afraid of experiencing any more swords. I couldn't help but say: "You all follow General Liao, I'm tired." I want to find a place to be quiet. ”

The general was puzzled: "General Zhang is not going with us?" Da Kui smirked: "I want to go by myself, you can go." I'll come back to you when I have a chance. Seeing that Da Kui insisted on refusing to leave, the general led the rest of the red scarf soldiers to follow Liao Yongzhong's people and gradually moved away.

Da Kui led the red cloud all the way aimlessly. I don't know how long I walked, but it was getting dark. Da Kui still led the horse forward, passing by a small village, feeling hungry, so he found a random farmer. Tie the horse to a stake in front of the farmhouse and knock on the door in front of the farmhouse. The door opened, and a young man in gray trousers opened it. Seeing Da Kui covered in armor, he couldn't help but ask nervously, "What's the matter with the general?"

Da Kui said: "I'm hungry when I come here, do I have anything to eat? The young man saw that Da Kui was a military man and did not dare to refuse: "Then you come in." Da Kui followed the young man into the grass hut and couldn't help but look around.

If the house is surrounded by walls, then this is it. There are four earthen walls in the house, and the one facing the main hall is actually Emperor Guan. Under the portrait, there are three black pottery bowls on a bench, and inside the bowls are cakes, pears, and dates.

There is also a room on the left, with a closed door and a curtain hanging from it. On the right, in the corner of the wall, there is a pot with a wooden lid on it. There is a large vat next to the pot, and the big Kuichai jar may be the same as his own grain tank to store grain. The cylinder is also covered with a lid, and some miscellaneous items are piled on it. There was also a low table beside the tank, and two small stools were placed upside down on the table, and there was nothing else.

When the young man entered the house, he went straight to the vat and took a large bowl on the jar, and stretched out his arm to wipe it with his sleeve. He reached out and lifted the lid of the pot and stood on the side of the pot, and took out some sweet potatoes from the pot and put them in a bowl. He turned around and put a large bowl of sweet potatoes on the low table next to the jar, and then took down the small stool on the table and put it on the side of the table and said, "General, my family is poor." There are only these sweet potatoes, and the general will eat some of them. ”

Da Kui smiled and said, "It's good to have sweet potatoes to eat." "You're welcome, go over and sit down. Grabbing a sweet potato is a gobble. After eating a bowl and asking, "Is there anything else?" The young man hurriedly took the empty bowl and went to fill another bowl, and after reloading it three times, the young man blushed and said no.

Da Kui still didn't finish his words: "If you don't have it, forget it", he stood up and said, "I'll go get the money." The young man hurriedly said, "General, some sweet potatoes don't need money." Da Kui didn't pay attention to it, and went out to take the money bag in the red cloud saddle bag and returned to the grass house and said: "I said that I wanted to give money, how can I not talk about it." ”

Da Kui rummaged through the money bag, and it turned out that there were 20 taels, 10 taels and 5 taels of silver and gold ingots, and then he remembered that he used to spend no money in the army. There is no loose silver on his body, which is good. In the end, he had no choice, so he took out a five-tael ingot, put it on the table and said, "I'll give you this." The young man in the cloth immediately straightened his eyes.

At this time, it was getting late, and Da Kui said: "I'll stay for one night tonight and leave tomorrow morning." Little brother, do you want to do it?" the young man nodded busily like a chicken pecking rice. Da Kui walked to the bench and sat down, looked around and asked, "Who else is in your house?"

The young man said: "I am the only one left in the family, my mother left last year." Da Kui asked, "Where did you go?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were a little red: "I'm sick and dead." Da Kui couldn't help but think of his mother, bowed his head and was silent.

The two were silent for a long time, and Da Kui asked, "What's your name, you see that I haven't asked for so long when I came in." The young man said: "My name is Wang Ergou, the people in the village call me Goudan, and I am a fisherman." Da Kui couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this: "I came in to find something to eat, why didn't you give me fish to eat." ”

Zhang Ergou hurriedly said: "I haven't fished for a few days, and I've been working in the town for Wang Yuanwai's family for the past few days, and I only came back today." Da Kui smiled: "Oh, since that's the case, I don't blame you. My surname is Zhang Dakui, and my relatives in my hometown call me a fool. Zhang Ergou was immediately happy when he heard it, the dog met a fool!

What kind of place is this?" Zhang Ergou said: "This place is called Yuwa Village, which belongs to Guabu Town. In the realm of heaven and earth. After a pause, he asked, "Where is General Zhang going?"

When Da Kui heard this Ergou ask, he lowered his head and thought, 'Now that my mother has passed away and Da Song has perished, go to find Brother Tang? 'It's better to go to the Master and stay on Tiantai Mountain without worries in the future.' In the future, I can still talk to Wujie from time to time, 'Thinking of this, Da Kui said: "I want to find my master." ”
