Volume 2 Capture the Sword Chapter 87 Golden Rooster Daoren
Since the Taoist chief is full of fists, there is no need to be polite.
After staying up all night, cold and hungry, you might as well go to his house to rest first. Besides, the sky is about to be bright, in order to avoid being pursued by the Yellow Turban Army, it is good to dodge by the way.
The Golden Rooster Daoist led the way in front, and Cao Cao picked up the princess on his back and followed behind.
The distance is not very far, and it didn't take long to cross the small bridge to reach the home of the Jinji Dao people.
It is said to be a mountain, but in fact it can only be regarded as a large mound, and its name is Rocky Mountain, but in fact, I didn't see a single stone along the way.
It is said to be a home, but in fact, it is a grass hut at all, and it is an old grass shed, built between two big trees with thick bowls, and some fences are haphazardly tied around the grass hut, and most of them are crooked, and some are even broken.
The space in the grass shed is not small, anyway, there is such a shelter from the wind and rain, and I feel a lot more at ease in an instant.
What's even more gratifying is that there are wooden beds, wooden benches, pots and pans, and a lot of dry firewood piled up in one corner.
Cao Cao found a brazier and lit firewood with a fire breaker, and after a while, the whole grass shed was bright and warm, sweeping away the fatigue and hunger and cold of the two people.
The firewood fire was much warmer than the hay fire, and the fire was much stronger, and slowly the clothes on the two of them had dried a lot. Cao Cao helped the princess sit down on the wooden bed and moved the brazier closer to her, Princess Sanssouci looked at Cao Cao tenderly and asked if he was still cold, Cao Cao rubbed her ankle lightly, and asked her if it was still painful.
The Jinji Daoist was happily preparing to boil the boiled meat, and he used a kitchen knife to cut the boiled meat into several strips, judging from the thickness of the cut, his knife skills were not very good. But he didn't care, he just cared about his thickness and could eat it.
The grass shed is very simple, there is no condiment such as oil and salt at all, and the people of Jinji Road don't care even more, they just put it in the water and boil it.
Seeing this, Cao Cao walked over and said, "Dao Chang eats like this, I'm afraid it's tasteless." As he spoke, he took two of them and prepared to take them to the fire and roast them.
Suddenly, he found that there were no traces of rain on the Jinji Dao people. Even though the distance from the small bridge to the grass hut is not far, the rain has not stopped, why is there no rain on him at all?
The Jinji Daoist seemed to see Cao Cao's question, and while he was busy cooking meat, he said casually: "The rain does not drench the poor road, which means that the poor road is not a person who must be drenched." ”
This theory again, Cao Cao smiled, turned around and went to the fire, made a wooden stand, and grilled the two pieces of meat.
Jinji Dao people were in a hurry, began to cook meat, and saw that he was a person who couldn't cook, not only choked on the fire and coughed, but also made a face of wood ashes, fortunately, the water in the pot slowly boiled, and the aroma of cooking meat also floated out.
The people of Jinji Dao were intoxicated by the aroma of meat, but unexpectedly, there was a more fragrant smell wafting, and they turned their heads and found that the two of Cao Cao's barbecue were also mature.
The roasted meat was more fragrant and attractive, and he walked behind Cao Cao and looked at the meat strips bubbling with oil, with a look of envy.
Finally cooked, Cao Cao cut a small piece with a kitchen knife, took a small wooden stick and stuck it in, and handed it to Princess Sanssouci, she took it, blew the hot air, and took a small bite gently.
Although there is no condiment, but I am hungry, this is the most beautiful delicacy in the world.
Seeing that the Jinji Daoist was salivating, Cao Cao hurriedly inserted a piece for him, and the Jinji Daoist even said two 'good' words, and took it and ate it.
It's really scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, after eating a piece, the Jinji Taoist people didn't wait for Cao Cao to be polite, they inserted a large piece by themselves, and ate it directly.
Cao Cao cut a small piece for the princess to eat, but found that the Golden Rooster Daoist had swept it away and finished the roast meat in his hand.
Cao Cao was also hungry, and was about to get a piece to eat, but he heard the Golden Rooster Taoist say: "You kid makes it delicious, discuss something, let's change and eat, this piece is left for the poor Dao, and you can eat what is cooked in the pot." “
Afraid that Cao Cao would not agree, he took out something from his arms and stuffed it into Cao Cao's hand, and then quickly inserted all the remaining barbecue.
Cao Cao looked at it and saw that it was a golden rooster, smaller than the palm of his hand, and it was very delicate.
The Jinji Daoist said while eating: "Meeting is fate, and the right to give you a meeting gift from the poor Dao, don't lose it." ”
Cao Cao nodded, and took it into his arms seriously, regardless of its use, after all, it was given by someone else, and it needs to be treasured.
Cao Cao is also hungry, it doesn't matter if he cooks it or bakes, he can fill his stomach. He found a black porcelain bowl, scooped a bowl of soup and meat, and ate it as soon as he opened his mouth.
I really can't imagine that in this cold and rainy night, in this barren mountains and mountains, there is still cooked meat to eat, and there is meat soup to drink, and God always treats me well.
But as long as the people of our Han Dynasty can have a bowl of broth to drink and fill their stomachs, the world will be peaceful.
It's just that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, like Dong Zhuo and Zhang Jiao, all of them are already in the wind and water, above 10,000 people, Wuzi is still fighting for power and profit, fighting endlessly, a sword of the Son of Heaven has caused the court to shake, and the martial arts are chaotic, from the puppet emperor to the innocent people, they have all been dragged in.
It's a pity that the Son of Heaven Sword left by Emperor Gaozu has long been corroded and broken into three sections, even so, Dong Zhuo and Zhang Jiao's generation still make a big fuss in the name of the Son of Heaven Sword.
It's a pity that the piece of the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand has just seen the light of day, and he doesn't know where to go, whether it was snatched away by Lu Wanggu's people or the people of the Iron Boat Gang, alas, and it also affected Zhang Mei and others by the way.
The three of them devoured it, and after a while, the wind swept away, and there was not even soup left.
Aside from Cao Cao and Jinji Daoren, Princess Sanssouci has been dressed and eaten since she was a child, and she also feels that this meal is the most fragrant and full in her memory.
After eating and drinking, Cao Cao started to clean up the grass shed, which can be regarded as a thank you to the master's family.
The Golden Rooster Daoist crossed his legs and knees, ready to meditate and rest, but because Princess Sanssouci occupied the wooden bed, he had to sit on a dry grass.
Cao Cao still has a lot of questions to ask, because at that time, Lu Wanggu's people 'agreed' on three days, which seems to be more than a day later, although he did not disgrace his mission and found the princess of Sanssouci, but this barren mountain and wild mountain range is not a long-term place, Julu City is not far away, and the Yellow Turban Army will find it sooner or later.
Besides, the sky was already bright, but it was raining repeatedly, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction, he was afraid that the Jinji Daoist would fall asleep, so he hurriedly asked: "May I ask the Taoist, where is this place? How to go to Qinghe City?"
The Jinji Daoist wanted to fall asleep, but when he heard the three words Qinghe City, he came to his senses and asked, "You kid are going to Qinghe City?"
"Yes, please teach me. ”
"Okay, okay, Poor Dao is going to Qinghe, I just don't know the way, you two take me there, right?"
Cao Cao was very strange in his heart, he was obviously asking him for directions, why did the Taoist lead the way?
"The Taoist is also going to Qinghe?"
"Yes, Poor Dao is going to meet an old friend, ah, it's been fifteen years. ”
"Have you ever been to Qinghe before?"
"I've never been there, but now it's okay, with you two as guides, the poor road also saves trouble. ”
"What is this place?"
"Rocky Mountain!"
"Oh, what do you mean by junior, where is this in Julu City?"
"Northwest. ”
The words of the Jinji Daoist made Cao Cao surprised, the northwest? This is troublesome, the correct route is to go east out of Julu City, just because he lost his way, although he said that he went out of the city by mistake, but he actually came to the northwest direction.
In other words, if you go to Qinghe City, you either have to re-pass through Julu City, or you have to take a detour to the north of Julu City. In any case, there will be more unjust paths and delays.
"Dao Chief, since you live here, do you know if there is a shortcut to bypass Julu City and head east?"
The Jinji Daoist shook his head again and again: "The poor Dao has been here for less than three days, how can you know!"
"Three days?" Cao Cao and Princess Sanssouci exclaimed at the same time, "Isn't this your home?"
"That's right, when the poor road passes through this place, and when you see this ownerless grass hut, you can stay for a few days, and it can naturally be used as a temporary home. ”
The explanation of the Golden Rooster Daoist can also be said in the past, after a long time, this grass shed is his temporary residence, since he has just been here for two days, he can't be counted on to ask for directions.
Cao Cao was about to ask again, when he suddenly felt some pain in his abdomen, he had a cold at night, and he was about to have a stomach, so he hurriedly walked out of the shed, and at the same time asked the location of the latrine.
Seeing that Cao Cao was uncomfortable, Princess Sanssouci hurriedly stood up and asked with concern, "Brother Cao, how are you?"
Cao Cao hurriedly turned back and helped her back to the wooden bed, and trotted all the way while comforting her, looking very anxious.
The Jinji Daoist said loudly: "There is a dirt pit in the woods behind, it is convenient to go there, the road is slippery in rainy days, but you have to be careful to fall into it." ”
Seeing Cao Cao leave in a hurry, Princess Sanssouci said: "Daoist, what are you talking about, how can people be ...... in this broad daylight?" Fall in!"
"Oh, baby, you still don't believe it, on the first day of the poor road, I picked up a shoe by the latrine, and the poor road predicts that someone has fallen into it. “
Princess Sanssouci didn't believe it, thinking that the Golden Rooster Dao was joking.
"Yo, why don't you believe it?" Jinji Daoist simply stopped meditating, stood up and approached and said: "Poor Dao goes south and north, what bizarre things haven't you seen? This person fell into the toilet, there is nothing strange, do you know this person Jin Jinggong?"
Princess Sanssouci shook her head, she didn't understand why the Dao Chief was involved in Jin Jinggong's head again.
"What about this Jin Jinggong, you are the king of a country in the Great Jin Dynasty, one day he was discussing major matters with the ministers, and he suddenly had a stomach upset, leaving the ministers to cover his stomach and running towards the toilet. The ministers waited for a long time and did not see Jin Jinggong come back, so they dared to ask the eunuch to go and inspect it, and guess what? This king actually fell into the pit and was dying and struggling, and when the eunuch fished him up, Jin Jinggong was already dying. “
Princess Sanssouci's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that there was such a thing, but this Golden Rooster Daoist was so old that she shouldn't be untrustworthy.
Seeing that her face was full of anxiety, she understood that she was worried about Cao Cao. So the Jinji Taoist asked: "Girl, you tell the poor Dao, did you two elope? Is it because your parents don't agree, or is the door wrong?"
He asked a few words in a row, and Princess Sanssouci said, "No, we were caught by the bad guys and escaped at night." ”
"Oh, that's it, little girl, you are so good-looking, naturally there are bad people who covet it, your big brother Cao saved you, and then you escaped at night, right?"
"That's it, Dao Chief, how do you know?"
"Haha, the poor road has been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and I have seen a lot of such things, well, according to the poor road, the two of you are right, but the kid is a little older. ”
"What does it matter, I don't care. ”
"Yes, yes, Poor Dao loves the beauty of adults the most in his life, no matter what, as long as that kid doesn't fall into the toilet, Poor Dao will be an old man under the month, and Yucheng will be a good thing for the two of you. ”
"Really?"
"That's still fake, that's good, when that kid comes back, you two will worship heaven and earth, and use this grass shed as a cave house." ”
