The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 3 The Little Girl Pulling the Clothes

The Han Dynasty was founded 400 years ago. It has a vast territory and is divided into four administrative levels: prefecture, prefecture, county, and village. Although Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other aliens often invaded, it still could not shake its dominance. It was not until a major event that happened more than ten years ago that the Han Dynasty began to gradually decline.

The territory of the Han Dynasty was divided into thirteen prefectures, and each prefecture governed several counties. Zhuo County was a county seat under the jurisdiction of Zhuo County in Youzhou.

On this day, a conspicuous outsider came to Zhuo County, leading a light brown horse and speaking fluent Bingzhou dialect, as if he was asking someone for something.The reason why it is conspicuous is because this man is extraordinarily tall, one head taller than ordinary men.

This person was Lu Bu who came all the way from Bingzhou. Bingzhou is adjacent to Youzhou, and Mayi is not far from Zhuo County. Lu Bu only took two days to reach Zhuo County.

He thought that the matter could be resolved quickly, but Lu Bu still overestimated his own thoughts. Since entering Zhuo County, Lu Bu asked no less than ten people, but none of them knew Liu Bei's name, let alone where Liu Bei's family lived.

This made Lv Bu very puzzled. Could it be that he had misremembered the place and that Liu Bei was not in Zhuo County at all?

While Lu Bu was thinking to himself, suddenly a small hand pinched the corner of Lu Bu's padded jacket.

Although it is already the season of turning spring, the whole north is still very cold.

Lu Bu turned his head and saw that it was a little girl wearing a tattered jacket, about seven or eight years old, with all kinds of patches sewn and sewn everywhere on the tattered jacket.

A gust of wind blew, and the little girl's lips, which were already purple from the cold, trembled, and she shrank subconsciously. The pair of thin-soled cloth shoes on her feet were covered with mud, and there was a small hole in the front. Two cute little pink toes appear and disappear.

Lu Bu didn't think he was a kind person, but when he saw the little girl like this, he couldn't help being moved. Lu Bu tried his best to show a warm smile: "Little girl, why are you pulling the corner of my clothes?"

"me……"

The little girl timidly withdrew her little hand full of chilblains, and looked at a loss when faced with Lu Bu's question. It was not until she saw Lu Bu's warm smile that she mustered up her courage, and her cautious words contained strong prayers. : "Big brother, can you give me something to eat, just a little bit."

At the end, as if she was afraid of being misunderstood by the big brother in front of her, the little girl added: "I didn't want to eat by myself, my mother was exhausted, and she hadn't eaten in bed for almost two days. , Mother will, will..."

"pat~"

Crystal drops of water burst out of the eyes, dripped down the cheeks and onto the ground.

The little girl hurriedly wiped it with her hands, but she wiped more and more tears instead. The little girl was crying anxiously, so she could only sob and keep apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The little girl didn't dare to raise her head until she finally stopped her tears, but the big brother in front of her just now had disappeared.

The little girl felt aggrieved from the bottom of her heart, she hung her head like a deflated ball, and just froze in place, motionless.

People were coming and going on the street, and it was very lively, but she seemed to be just a small weed, no one cares about it, no one cares about it, even standing there, it looks very obtrusive.

"Ah woo hoo~ woo~ hoo hoo~"

A strange voice sounded not far away, and the little girl Fan Ling followed the voice, and saw that the big brother just now had four more dough pancakes in his hand, steaming hot.

Lu Bu yelled exaggeratedly "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"s, he kept throwing the dough cakes left and right with both hands, and Lu Bu was tall, which made the whole person's movements look very funny.

The teary-eyed little girl was instantly teased into laughter. Lu Bu came over and divided the four dough pancakes into three portions, one for himself, one for the little girl, and two for the little girl's mother.

The little girl Fan Ling felt extremely flattered by this, and quickly waved her little hand, saying that she didn't want so many, just one.

Lu Bu couldn't help but stuffed everything to the little girl, and carried Fan Ling to the horse to sit firmly, leading the horse and saying that he wanted to send Fan Ling home.

The steed also snorted and shook its hair a few times, obviously it was more comfortable to carry this little girl than Lu Bu.

On the street, Lu Bu was holding the horse rope with his left hand, and he would take two bites of the bread in his right hand from time to time.

"Big brother, you are a good person. My mother said that a good person will live a long life."

The little girl on the horseback whispered, the gratitude in her words was beyond words.If she hadn't met Lu Bu today, she really didn't know what to do.

Lu Bu turned his head and smiled at the little girl. He wanted to tell Fan Ling that in this world, those who can live for a long time are generally bad people, while good people often don't live long.

It's just that when the words came to his lips, Lu Bu swallowed them back. He was originally a murderous and hard-hearted person, but for some reason, when he faced this innocent and well-behaved little girl, he couldn't bear it.

Seeing the little girl hiding the three doughnuts in her bosom like treasures, Lu Bu couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going to eat it?"

"I... I want to leave it to my mother." The little girl still replied in a low voice, but at this time her stomach made an inappropriate "gurgle".

Fan Ling suddenly felt that this belly was too disappointing, and she had humiliated herself at the critical moment, her little face was flushed red, and she wanted to dig a crack in the ground and get in immediately.

On the contrary, Lu Bu was amused by the little girl's shy expression, and said with a smile: "If you can't even eat enough, who has the energy to take care of your mother?"

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he turned his head and continued to lead the horse forward.

The little girl was stunned for a moment, what Lu Bu said made sense, if she lost her strength, what would the mother who was lying on the sick bed do?
After hesitating again and again, the little girl finally took out a pancake carefully, put it to her mouth and bit it lightly.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't eaten for a long time, after the little girl took the first bite, she took two more bites in succession, and a round pancake lost one-third in an instant.

Fan Ling took a sneaky look at Lu Bu, and felt relieved when she saw that Lu Bu was only leading the horse forward. For some reason, she was very afraid that Lu Bu would turn around suddenly and see her in such a mess.

"Ah, mince pies!"

Fan Ling on the horseback exclaimed, but the not-so-strong smell of meat made her extremely excited.

The price of this kind of noodle cakes with meat filling is relatively expensive, about three to five times the price of ordinary noodle cakes, so these four noodle cakes have already spent all the money that Lu Bu brought. After all, Lu Bu is still only a small Just a little centurion.

Lu Bu can understand the little girl's mood at the moment. It is no longer the prosperous era when "the man who offends me will be punished even if he is far away". The displaced poor can be seen everywhere on the street. Most of the poor families do not even have enough food and clothing. It can't be solved, and some children have never eaten a piece of meat since the moment they were born.

Passing through the busy city, Lu Bu quietly stopped and stopped.

The two-foot-wide Qingshi street was full of spectators, including householders from rich families, ordinary people, traffickers and pawns traveling from south to north, and refugees who had been torn apart by the war. Not to mention horses, even people can't squeeze through.

Lu Bu could only hear a shrill voice from the noisy crowd, "I paid for the meat, why don't you sell it!"

In the front of the crowd, there was a butcher's chopping board half a person's height. Behind the chopping board stood a sturdy man wearing a black fur apron. Years of butchering made the man's right arm particularly thick.

The man gave a wry smile and said, "It's not that a certain house doesn't sell it, it really can't sell it!"

"Can't sell it? What do you mean by that! If you don't say you're ugly today, I'll see if I'll blow up your business!" The man with a sharp voice snorted coldly, his arrogance was domineering, and he didn't seem to be kind to him. generation.

"Yes, yes, he's been smashed!!!"

The people watching the play also booed.

In desperation, the Kuishi man had no choice but to point to a well not far away and said: "Have you ever seen this well?"

Everyone looked in the direction the man pointed, and there really was a well protruding two feet above the ground, and the well was covered with moss, but it was unknown who was short-sighted and sealed it with a thick boulder. Wellhead.

But what does this well have to do with buying meat?

Everyone doesn't know why.

The man had no choice but to explain patiently again: "The meat is suspended in this well. My young master said that anyone who can remove this stone to get the meat will not only not receive a penny, but will also give a thousand dollars."

One thousand dollars!

There was a commotion from behind the crowd. Perhaps for the rich and powerful, a thousand dollars was nothing but a drop in the bucket, but for the poor, one thousand dollars was enough to cover food and clothing for four to five months.

As soon as the man's voice fell, a man in the shape of Kongwu squeezed out from the crowd, and asked on the spot: "What did you just say, are you serious?"

"Really!" The man habitually wiped his hands on the apron twice, with a dull tone, he replied affirmatively.

After the man got the clear answer, he was obviously very satisfied, he laughed loudly, and said three good words in succession: "Okay, okay, then a certain family will give it a try!"
