The residence of the three Yun brothers is in a small village at the foot of the mountain. There are less than [-] families scattered here and there, and they all live by hunting.

The three brothers lived with their old mother. Jiyun Dali took his wife and gave birth to a pair of children. The house is very simple and built with grass and trees. The three houses are connected together, so that they can hunt all year round. I am not afraid of lack of firewood, the house is very warm.

The three brothers were very hospitable. They washed and stripped the prey they had caught, and asked Yun Dali's wife to cook it. They also took out the wine and water they had treasured up on weekdays to entertain the guests. The table was full of wild game. The taste is naturally much more delicious.

Hearing that Chu Huan and his wife were going to Yunshan Mansion, Yun Dali advised them to stay for a few more days. After all, Su Linlang's leg injury was not healed, so it was not suitable for a long journey. Are there horse-drawn carriages nearby for hire.

Yun Dali said casually: "There is a carriage driver, but it is a long way to go to Yunshan Mansion, so he may not be able to go. And even if he is really willing to take a trip, the fare is not low!"

Su Linlang took off the bracelet from her hand and handed it to Yun Dali: "This is an emerald bracelet, it's worth some money, I hope Brother Yun can help me, if he is willing to take this trip, when he arrives at Yunshan Mansion, I still have a lot of money." Thanks!"

She knew that Chu Huan had no money on her, so she took the bracelet off first.

Yun Dali took the bracelet, looked at it, but knew it was a valuable item, and said: "In that case, tomorrow I will exchange this bracelet into silver first, and try to suppress the car money as much as possible. The extra silver will be returned to me." I will leave it to you!" Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes outside the door, and a heavy voice shouted: "Is the brother of the Yun family here? Lu Jingcheng is here in person, hurry up and go out!"

Hearing that voice, the three Yun family brothers suddenly changed their colors. Yun Sanli had already got up and ran to the wall, picked up an iron fork leaning against the wall, with an angry look on his face.

Yun Erli was also full of anger, only Yun Dali looked dignified, glanced at Yun Sanli, and said in a deep voice: "Young three, don't mess around!" Standing up, he cupped his hands to Chu Huan and said, "You eat first, I'll come as soon as I go!" Then he whispered to the two brothers: "You don't mess around!" He stepped out the door, and his two brothers went out together.

Chu Huan also frowned, got up and walked to a window, looked out through the gap in the window lattice, and saw bright fire in front of the door, five horses parked outside the door, four men dressed as guards were surrounding a group A middle-aged man in gray clothes, the middle-aged man is very thin, sitting on the horse is very airy.

Yun Dali went out, glanced at the few people, frowned, cupped his hands and said, "Caomin Yun Dali, I wonder what your lord's order is here?"

The skinny middle-aged man is naturally Lu Jingcheng, Jingcheng is the name of the official, in the counties of Daqin, there are six offices under the county government, and each room has a Jingcheng, who can't be called an official, just a small official.

Although the petty official is small, he is a clerk in the yamen after all, so he is naturally stronger than ordinary people. When this Lu Jingcheng saw the Yun brothers, he rolled his eyes and said in a sharp voice: "Yun Dali, my son-in-law Someone sent someone to collect taxes, I heard that you three brothers resisted and refused to pay, is there such a thing?"

Yun Dali said in a deep voice: "My lord, we have never missed a penny in the past few years, and we have never defaulted on the taxes we should pay. But this year, we have come to the yamen five or six times, and we have paid more than last year. It's more than doubled...!" Gritting his teeth, he said seriously: "Caomin really don't know, when will this be big?"

Lu Jingcheng rolled his eyes strangely and scolded: "Last year it was the magistrate of Zhang County, but this year it is the magistrate of Wang County. How can it be the same? How much tax is charged is the order of the court, and you can still manage it? There are many things in the court. If you don’t take the money, who will take the money?” Pointing at Yun Dali, he said in a cold voice, “Listen, at the latest, if the tax money you owe cannot be delivered to the yamen, Don't blame me for being ruthless. That's right, the county magistrate has ordered that winter is coming, and you are asked to hand in two more tiger skins this month...!"

Yun Sanli had a fiery temper, and couldn't help but said: "Then it's better to let him grab it. Do you want us to live?"

Lu Jingcheng's face darkened, and he said sharply, "What did you say?"

Yun Dali pulled Yun Sanli, pulled him behind, and said solemnly: "My lord, tiger skin doesn't mean that you have it. There are fewer and fewer wild animals in Qinglong Mountain, and tigers are also rare. It's different from previous years... !"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lu Jingcheng yelled coldly: "This time I came in person to speak to you with good words. If you can't turn it in on time, you won't say so next time!" Not much words, cold With a snort, he turned the horse's head and led his minions away.

Seeing them leaving, Yun Sanli spit at their backs, then went back to the house angrily, sat down, picked up the wine bowl, and drank down a bowl of dull wine in one go.

Yun Dali and Yun Erli also returned to the house and sat down. The atmosphere was no longer as lively as before. Chu Huan picked up the wine jar and poured wine for the three brothers. He frowned and said, "Brother Yun, are they bullying the people like this?"

Yun Dali picked up the wine bowl, drank half of it, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, to say something bold, it means that there is an old mother and a wife and children, otherwise I really want to become a bandit and kill these corrupt officials." !"

Yun Sanli said from the side: "Brother, I have already said, let's find the fallen grass on the top of the mountain and become a bandit. If this continues, we will always be forced to death by them."

Yun Erli clenched his fists and said, "Tiger skin... that old guy is really addicted. From the beginning of the year to now, we have given away three tiger skins, and two of them were saved by us before. He Is it true that there are tigers all over Qinglong Mountain?" He paused, gritted his teeth, and said, "Zheng Laowu went up the mountain to hunt tigers just to get two tiger skins, but he didn't get the tiger skins, but was bitten by tigers on the head... The government is this You want to force us to our death!"

Su Linlang frowned slightly, and Chu Huan also had a stern expression.

Yun Dali sighed: "Ten years ago, the tax was not heavy, we paid the tax, and we could live a better life, but these years, the imperial court's tax has become heavier every year. To increase troops, we need to build passes and drive out Xiliang people... Hmph, is it true that we are all deaf and blind? I heard people say that the Kansai Army not only did not increase its troops, but also reduced its personnel. The court raised taxes not for the sake of Resisting Xiliang people, but...but to make our emperor live forever!"

"Immortal?" Chu Huan had a strange look on his face.

Yun Dali nodded and said, "I've also heard what people said, so I don't know if it's true or not, but I think it's true out of ten. You also know that in the past few years, Daqin's Taoist temples have been widely cultivated, and the Taoist priests who came out of the Taoist temples are even more domineering. , Sometimes the government doesn't dare to provoke. I also heard that in the capital, Taoist priests run rampant, and even the dignitaries dare not offend them!"

Yun Sanli sighed: "I think back then, my Daqin iron cavalry was invincible and invincible. How majestic it was at that time, but in just ten years, the iron-blooded lion of that year no longer existed, and was defeated by the mere west. The Liang people have repeatedly violated borders and failed to control...the emperor who commands an army of [-] to rule the world, now...!" At this point, he picked up the wine bowl again and drank it in one gulp.

Chu Huan saw these three people venting their grievances in front of her, but she also knew that these three people were honest and bloody men.

Yun Dali waved his hand suddenly and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this!" Xiang Chu Huan said with a smile: "Brother, I made you laugh. Seeing that you are very tired, take a rest early. I will go to find the carriage at dawn tomorrow. If all goes well, the carriage will arrive at noon tomorrow!"

Chu Huan cupped his hands and said, "Then there is Brother Lao Yun!"

There were three huts, Yun Dali let Su Linlang sleep in one with his wife, and the men just made do with it for the night.

In the early morning of the next day, Yun Dali really went to hire a carriage. At noon, a carriage stopped in front of the door. The driver was in his 40s, and he called Shi Liu, and his driving skills were excellent.

The journey to Yunshan Mansion is far away, and it will take seven or eight days to go back and forth at the fastest. Ba Shiliu was unwilling to travel such a long distance, but because of Yun Dali's face and paying a lot of money to hire a car, he reluctantly agreed. .

Su Linlang's jade bracelet is really a good thing, Yun Dali and Ba Shiliu went to the jade shop in the market to sell it for a good price, and then came back together.

The jade bracelet was sold for 25 taels of silver, but it cost 15 taels of silver to hire a car. With the remaining [-] taels of silver, Yun Dali handed it back to Su Linlang without missing a penny, but Su Linlang refused to accept it.

But Yun Dali was also stubborn, and he refused to accept it, claiming that if he took money, he would not be considered a good man. Linlang had no choice but to change the way, and gave the hairpin on his head to Yun Dali's wife, and refused. In the end, Yun Dali couldn't resist, so he could only accept it, but he didn't know that the hairpin presented by Lin Lang would cost at least four to fifty taels of silver, and even the jade bracelet was worth a hundred taels of silver. Yun Dali didn't know the truth value, but was severely slaughtered.

The brothers of the Yun family prepared some dry food and water for the two of them to eat on the road, and bid farewell to the brothers of the Yun family. Lin Lang and Chu Huan took a car together, left the village, turned south, and headed for Yunshan Mansion.

The journey went smoothly, he got up at sunrise, and went to rest at the inn at sunset, Linlang had the ten taels of silver in his hand, which was enough to spend on the journey.

After walking for two days, she entered the territory of Yunshan Mansion, and after walking for another day, getting closer to Yunshan City, Lin Lang felt lost in her heart. She always felt that she was about to lose something, her heart was empty, and her expression was a little out of control.

Chu Huan opened the curtains, looked out, and finally looked back at Lin Lang, smiled gently, and said, "We're almost there, go two miles further, and I'm about to get off the bus!"

Lin Lang only felt a tremor in her heart. For some reason, there was some pain deep in her heart, and she said involuntarily, "You...are you going to get out of the car?"

Chu Huan nodded, and parting was imminent, he was silent for a while, and finally said with a smile: "In these days, if there is something offended, don't take it to heart." After a pause, he pondered for a while, and finally said: "Life always has Ups and downs, as long as you can survive it. You will gradually forget about this accident...!"

"Forgot?" Lin Lang's pretty face was gloomy, she sighed faintly, finally remembered something, bit her lips, and asked softly, "I...I don't know your name yet!"

"Don't know!" Chu Huan said calmly, "Forget it all... some things can be forgotten, and it will be better for you!" Let a woman's reputation be damaged.

Now he just hoped that Lin Lang would forget all of this, so that Lin Lang would not feel burdened.

Lin Lang's heart was complicated for a while, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Chu Huan raised the curtain and shouted: "Brother Liu, stop under the big tree in front of you, I'll get off there...!" The carriage arrived as soon as it was said, and it arrived under a big locust tree in a blink of an eye, and the horse stopped .

Chu Huan looked at Lin Lang, smiled and said, "This time I gave you a ride, thank you very much!" Picking up the package, he looked at the rolled up wolf skin beside him, and wanted to keep it as a gift for Lin Lang, but Lin Lang wanted to stay but it was hard for Lin Lang to forget these things, so she picked it up and wanted to say something, but in the end she just said, "Let's bid farewell, take care of yourself in the future!" Get out of the car, jump out of the car, and turn to handlebar Liu laughed and said, "Brother Liu, I will thank you for this journey."

Along the way, Ba Shiliu also got acquainted with him. This is also a simple and honest person. He smiled and said: "It's okay, you go all the way. Don't worry, I will send this lady to the house!"

Chu Huan nodded, glanced at the carriage, but said nothing in the end, he waved his hand, put the wolf fur on his shoulders, and turned towards a path beside the big locust tree.

After walking a few steps, Lin Lang's voice called out, "You...you wait!"

Chu Huan stopped, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and smiled like a spring breeze.

Lin Lang lifted the curtains of the car, her eye circles were already red, and her voice was trembling: "We... can we see each other again?"

"It's better not to see each other!" Chu Huan smiled and said, "You and I are different people. Go back and have a smooth journey!" Without saying much, he turned around and left, but sang loudly: "There is no way forward for Mo Chou!" Confidant... No one in the world knows you...!"

Lin Lang watched Chu Huan's figure go away with infatuation. Although the man was dressed in shabby clothes, he came and went in a chic manner. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the golden light shrouded the wanderer returning home.

The ancient tree trails, the golden sunset, and the wanderers returning home outline a peaceful picture.

Two crystal clear teardrops slipped from the corners of Linlang's eyes and flowed down her fair and smooth cheeks. She gently repeated Chu Huan's words: "Mo Chou has no confidant in the future... No one in the world knows you...!" His voice trembled, his beautiful eyes looked at Chu Huan's lonely back, and he was reluctant to leave——
