After Cheng Teng ran away, he dared to look back, and when he saw that no one was chasing him, he wiped the cold sweat on his cheeks and breathed a sigh of relief, and he secretly swore with grief in his heart: "If I Cheng Teng does not take revenge, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed."

After a long time, I couldn't hold back my grief and regain my mind, looked around, and thought: "Now that my brother is dead, I don't know where to go to, if I hadn't been able to leave the prince's side, otherwise I wouldn't dare to do anything to my brother by virtue of the identity of the prince."

He didn't know how long he had been running, at this time he was already hungry in his belly and saw that this place was deserted, there was no one in the house, but he saw that there seemed to be a house in front of him, and he rode a horse to the door, and saw that it was a broken temple that could not be broken again, sighed, got off the horse, and thought: "Maybe I have to go to Huainan to find my in-law Cao Song."

He easily beat a hare and returned to the broken temple, made a fire and roasted it on the branches, recalling the scenery of calling for wind and rain in Chengjiazhuang back then, and now he can only miss it, sigh bitterly, and lament the impermanence of the world, and his hatred for Ling Xiao is getting deeper and deeper.

When he was shaking his head and sighing, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound, at this time Cheng Teng was already a frightened bird, he was really startled, he hurriedly got up and looked left and right, and saw that no one was found except himself, and when he was about to complain about his fuss, he suddenly felt pain in his back, and he was unconscious when it was dark in front of him.

Zhang Yu returned the same way, and when he arrived in Dongchang City, he saw the southern army cleaning up the battlefield from a distance, and he expected that the martial arts of the Cheng family would definitely not die in the chaos of the two armies, and it may have been to other places.

Seeing a trail, he rode his horse over, and about twenty miles was about to find another way to find it again, when he suddenly saw a dead leaf and branch forest in front of him, there seemed to be a person lying on the ground, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Cheng Shu and Cheng Gen.

Seeing that the two of them had already been stained red with blood, they thought that they had been dead for a long time, and when they looked at the wounds on the two of them, they guessed that they must have been injured by Ling Xiao. Looking around but didn't see Cheng Teng's body, he thought: "I don't know if the owner of Cheng Erzhuang has escaped the hands of the eldest brother"

Seeing Cheng Teng's body, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. looked at the corpses of Cheng Shu and the others and thought secretly: "Although I was unjust to me back then, after all, I was taken in, and I also had the grace of dripping water, but now although I am to blame, I can't bear it, and the two of them expose the corpse to the wilderness." With a sigh, he dug two pits and buried them in the spot.

After that, he clapped his palms and looked around: "Presumably now the eldest brother also went to Mount Tai to pay homage to the seniors, I will also go to take a look, and by the way, I will inquire about my sister's traces." He knew that Mount Tai was in the direction of Tai'an, so he fixed his mind and set his mind to ride his horse to the direction of Tai'an, and walked for a long time, and there was no trace of human population near noon, and he was hungry in his stomach and thirsty in his mouth.

When he was upset, he saw a family in front of him approaching a village, came to the fence of a house, knocked on the door knocker, and walked out of a trembling old man in a short time, only to see that he was full of silver hair, a tuft of goatee, his face was full of wrinkles, and his body was rickety, and if you looked closely at the calluses on his hands, he looked like he was in his sixties.

The old man saw that he was a handsome young man, but because he was a stranger, he looked a little nervous and asked: "Which one, what is the matter?" The old man said the local dialect, Zhang Yu didn't understand it for a while, and after a while, he realized it, and said with a smile on his face: "Old man, I am a passer-by who is hungry and wants to beg for a bowl of rice and saliva to drink."

Zhang Yu grew up on the farm, and because his family was a family in the village, he also met some passers-by. Today, I actually learned from those passers-by back then, and I didn't think it was a little funny. The old man may have done too much farm work, and he looked unusually old because he was exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and when he heard Zhang Yu's words, he didn't look like a villain, and his heart was relatively hot, and he also smiled: "Come in, young man."

Saying that, he asked Zhang Yu to come into the house, and said as he walked: "Young man, my family is poor and there is nothing to eat, so you can eat it with a light meal" Saying that, he walked into the back room and brought out a few nests, a bowl of gruel and a pot of water on the dilapidated table.

When Zhang Yu entered the house and saw that the furnishings in the house were sketchy, he knew that the old man's family was in poor condition, and he was poorer than his own family back then. There was nothing but two benches and a tattered table, and there were no other simple household utensils, and the doors were all made of patched rags, and there was an indescribable smell in the room.

The old man put things on the table, and when he saw that Zhang Yu didn't eat, he thought that Zhang Yu was disgusted and said: "Young man, now the soldiers are in chaos, fortunately, there are no military horses passing by here, otherwise we don't even have a nest to eat now, and we would have gnawed the bark early."

Zhang Yu didn't understand the old man's words, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Old man, where are you talking about, I am also a baby in the countryside, and I am used to eating this" Zhang Yu looked at the nest in front of him and felt a feeling of nostalgia.

As he spoke, he picked up the porridge and drank it, although the taste was a little strange, but there was still the taste of his hometown, and he drank it in one go.

Zhang Yu chatted with the old man while eating, and after some questioning, Zhang Yu learned that the old man was surnamed Zhang like himself, and he was an officer and soldier of the imperial court in his early years, but later because his leg was trampled by a horse when he went to the battlefield, he was given some silver by the little leader of the soldiers to let him go home.

has always been lonely, Zhang Yu also felt that this old man was strange and pitiful, seeing that the New Year was approaching and seeing that his room was shabby, he couldn't afford to buy good things. It seems that the upper wowotou that can eat is already very good, maybe Zhang Yu's arrival this time has already eaten his next meal.

The old man saw that Zhang Yu was very polite, and he talked extraordinarily, and felt that Zhang Yu must not be a thing in the pool, and said to Zhang Yu: "There are not many young people like you, and if you do something in the future, you will definitely benefit the people."

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "The old man has a good reputation, if it is really as you said in the future, I will not forget the old man's words today" Zhang Yu quietly put a silver ingot on the table and went out to say goodbye to the old man and ran east.

Mount Tai is located in the southeast of Jinan Mansion (Mount Tai was under the jurisdiction of Jinan Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, and later differentiated into the current "Tai'an" area) Zhang Yu has been as calm as water these days, he has witnessed the insidious and vicious, and seems to have looked down on some things after parting with life and death.

He passed through many towns and found different customs and customs, the towns in this area have not yet been affected by the war, the people on the streets have more or less pleasant smiles on their faces, he sees the uncle who sells steamed buns, he also sees the basket selling fruit, there are sweaty blacksmiths and butchers covered with fat... For Zhang Yu, who has never seen the "world", it is really full of countless freshness.

He walked through the town, inquiring about the road as he went, and in a day he came to the foot of Mount Tai. There is a small town at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Yu led the horse into the town, and found that this place was as lively as the state capitals in various places. The merchants on both sides are dizzying, the shouting and shouting are endless, the traffic is busy, all kinds of people* characters, like Zhang Yu, who led the horse into the town can not be counted in a day.

In this era of frequent wars, the foot of Mount Tai at this time is a paradise for the people. Zhang Yu was looking around, and when he sighed in his heart, he saw that there seemed to be a lot of people in the corner not far in front of him.

I saw a girl crying and wiping her tears, the clothes she was wearing looked very old, although there were a lot of patches, but the wash was also clean, perhaps because she couldn't tell what color it was after washing too many times, her hair was messy at this time, and her complexion was very delicate and cute.

She was wearing a pair of new red embroidered shoes, embroidered with two mandarin ducks on the left and right on the embroidered shoes, and the clothes she wore on her body, it seemed very incompatible, and she looked fifteen or sixteen years old, crying, looking pitiful and pitiful.

There were two men standing beside her, dressed as servants of some village, both in their thirties, and one of them suddenly reached out to pull the girl's wrist, and the girl was very reluctant to struggle with all her strength, and the girl could not get up on the ground. And there was a middle-aged man on the side, pointing at the girl and scolding endlessly.

He saw that the two male servants couldn't even pull a little girl, and scolded: "What a waste" As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, and even walked behind him to hug the girl, regardless of whether the man or woman gave or not.

Seeing this, the girl panicked, even more frightened, opened her mouth to show her little tiger teeth, and bit the middle-aged man's arm, and the middle-aged man screamed in pain: "Oops" almost didn't call out his mother, and the back of his hand suddenly left a red blood mark, and he immediately "snapped" two slaps on the girl's face like a mad dog.
