Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 99

The weather changed suddenly, cloudy clouds covered the sky, and the wind blew, and the blowing branches kept shaking, and the leaves rustled, and many green leaves were blown away from the branches.Not long after, fine raindrops fell, wetting the dry land and washing the green grass on the side again.

"Brother Lu, it's raining. I know there's a village in front of me. Why don't you go and take a break to avoid the rain." Liao touched the rain on his face and shouted to his side.

Lu Bu was also wet all over. Hearing this, he replied, "Brother lead the way."

Immediately, with a yell, he urged the horse to gallop and lead the way.

Lu Bu comforted the Chitu and let him follow behind the scorpion. When everyone saw this, they all shouted and followed closely behind the two people in front. Little by little, the stars are everywhere.

The rain was not in a hurry, but incessantly. Lv Bu and his party turned into a fork road under the leadership of Li Yu, and then walked all the way, finally saw a small village in front of them.

At this time, it was almost evening, and the sky was covered by rain clouds again. This view was only better than that of the dark night.

After entering the village, everyone looked around, most of the surroundings were flat and low houses, and there were a few larger courtyards. They went up to call the door, but they just patted for a long time but no one answered.

"Who are you waiting for?"

The door of a room on the left was opened, and a farmer with white hair and plain clothes was staring at everyone.

"My father-in-law invited me. We are travelers going to Lushan County, and we are looking for a place to shelter from the rain." Ma Ling cupped his hands at him, glanced at his low house and said, "I wonder if there is any convenient place to accommodate us?" Shall I stay overnight?"

The farmer pointed to the distance with his finger: "Just follow the road, and inside is Lizheng's house. Go to his house. His house is big."

Everyone hurriedly looked along, and in the shadows, they could see a compound with walls built against the mountain from a distance.

"Thank you, my husband."

Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly rode their horses to the end of the village, but saw a dark wall standing in front of them, and a brown gate not far away.

Impatient, he jumped off his horse and stepped forward against the rain. He was so strong that he slapped the door and the mountain rang.

"It's coming, it's coming, don't shoot it, it's falling apart."

An old voice came, and an old man in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat opened the door. He was shocked to see more than a dozen big men with horses gathered outside, and wanted to close the door as soon as his expression changed.

Li Yao hurriedly took a step forward and pressed against the door: "Old man, we are not waiting for evil people, but we can't go on the rainy day, and I hope you can make it easier for me."

The old man swallowed his saliva as he looked at the black bear-like physique: "Aren't you waiting for a thief?"

Hearing the words, Xuan Yuan smiled wryly, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Lu Bu took a step forward at the back, cupped his hands and said: "We are really people who are looking for shelter from the rain. If we were bad people, we wouldn't talk to the old man like this, would we?"

The old man saw that he had a handsome face, although he was drenched by the rain, his aura was not like an ordinary person, he was not as fierce as the person in front of him, so it made sense.Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, his face softened, and he opened the door and said, "If so, please come in. The old man has a barn here, and he can store his horses in it to shelter from the rain. It's just that the place is small, but these many horses have to be squeezed together." squeeze."

"Thank you old man!"

Lu Bu and the others were overjoyed when they heard the words, they quickly bowed their hands and thanked them, and led the horses into the courtyard, but they saw that the courtyard here is quite spacious, facing the old man's main house, with a narrow hut on each side of it. In the front, there are two side rooms on the left and right, the left side room is smaller, next to the barn and the smaller house next to the main house.

The crowd drove the horses into the shed, and sure enough, more than a dozen horses seemed crowded together, and they couldn't drive all the horses in.

Seeing that they still had a few horses that could not be placed, the old man immediately found some thick and long sticks and something to prevent the rain, and told everyone to build a simple shelter from the rain for the horses. A simple shed was made against the wall. Although it was a little leaky, it was a blessing to have such a place on a rainy day, so how could you be demanding.

At that moment, Lu Bu and the others took out some scraps of silver in the form of three or five taels as a reward, but the old man didn't refuse and just accepted it, and everyone asked for some hay fodder to feed the horses, and then arranged guards to enter the two rooms. Go to the wing to rest.

Lu Bu and the others who made the decisions entered the house with the old man carrying a big bag containing weapons.

"Guests wait a moment, this old man went to find some clothes to change with you, don't get sick in this wet dress." Perhaps for the sake of money, the old man's expression became more relaxed, and he took the initiative to tell everyone A matter of changing clothes.

"Thank you, old man."

Lu Bu and the others quickly thanked them, and the old man went to the back room to find some clean clothes and came out, and found a dry cloth for them to wipe their bodies.

"Thanks to the old man's help, otherwise I might be in such a mess at this time." The old man is ugly and careful, and he knows what's going on from the way the old man treats everyone with fear first and then calmly, but he is the first to talk to him after sitting down .

Maybe it's because of the broken silver, or maybe it's the local accent of Yan Kuan, the old man is already smiling like a flower, and every crease reveals a sense of intimacy: "It's so inconvenient to go out, so I'm old."

Ma Ling's clothes are the most dirty, and it is just right to change into the clothes that the old man brought, but the old man himself is not tall and thin, so he asked curiously: "Old man, this clothes are about the same size as me , it fits very well, is there anyone else in the mansion?"

The old man shook his head: "There used to be a boy from the old family, but now there is only one in this family."

"Did it be that your son went to another place?" Lu Bu glanced at the old man, always feeling that his expression was a little unnatural.

"Huh? Oh, I went out." The old man didn't explain, he replied vaguely, and changed the subject: "Everyone is hungry? There is still some food at the old man's house, I will heat it up for you to eat."

"Thank you, old man."

"Thank you, old man."

"I'm here to help you."

Ma Ling and Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't stay idle the most, they stood up and stepped forward to help.

The old man quickly shook his hand and said, "No need, this old man can do it by himself."

Ma Ling said with a smile: "Thank you, I got new clothes to change into. This kind of help is justified."

Ruan Xiaoqi also smiled and said: "We also brought some dried fish over, let me show you a hand, so don't say no."

"You two young people are kind." The old man looked at them with a smile, his old face wrinkled with a smile: "So let's follow the old man."

The three of them talked and laughed, and went to the back kitchen hut, started working on the stove, and after a while made some porridge and wild vegetables and brought them up. Ruan Xiaoqi made a fisherman's dish by mixing dried fish and wild vegetables. It wasn't very good, but it smelled good, so we went back to the house and ate with everyone.

As for the guards, there was no such treatment. The old man just boiled some hot water for their use, but no one complained about it.

……

Farther to the southwest, a team of more than [-] people was marching in the rain.

"Quick! Faster, right in front!"

Hu Youwei commanded the team loudly while riding on a horse, but he was cursing viciously in his heart. Who knew that the weather was sunny and sunny for half a day today, but the sky changed in the afternoon.

"My lord, why don't you find a place to take shelter from the rain and wait for the rain to subside before leaving?" His confidant came over and leaned beside him and said.

"Can't stop!" Hu Youwei stared at his confidant viciously: "If you don't do this kind of thing in the dark, is it possible that you want me to act in broad daylight?"

The confidant shrank his neck: "But my lord, it's raining, how do you guys behave?"

Hu Youwei was furious when he heard this, and immediately grabbed his confidant by the neckline and said, "Idiot, it's only rainy days, and there are no traces after it's done, and it can be inferred that the crime was done by the culprit."

Pushing the person away: "Got it?"

The confidant nodded quickly, seeing Hu Youwei's angry face, he didn't dare to say more.

Hu Youwei looked at him angry, and couldn't help shouting angrily with his fingers in front of him: "You know, hurry up and urge the team to move forward!"

The man was so frightened that he galloped his horse and ran to the front of the team, yelling again and again to urge him to move forward quickly. If anyone ran slowly, he just whipped him down. A group of soldiers had no choice but to endure the cold rain due to the oppression of their superiors. Walk quickly with a knife and gun in hand.

Hu Youwei watched his confidant run to the front with cold eyes, and with a bah, he muttered to himself: "You idiot, the mud can't support the wall. If your sister is not strong enough, the ghost would be willing to take you with you."

With the sound of rain, the team of more than [-] people trotted forward. The icy rain mixed with sweat didn't seem to be so cold, so they hurried all the way, and finally found the village before dark.

Hu Youwei gave an order, the team was a little scattered, and slowly stopped in the woods in front of the village. Huge stagnant water dripped from the leaves and hit their heads with a "pop" sound, and the beaten people couldn't help but look up. Looking over, he was hit on the forehead by a ball of water and made a louder sound.

Hu Youwei glanced at the quiet village in front of him, and waved his hand: "Kill in, and you won't leave behind."

"Yes!"

The confidants in the rear and the leaders of the troops all responded in unison and wanted to turn around and lead the team.

I don't want someone from the back to say: "My lord! My lord can't do it! Here are all the people of my Song Dynasty, how can I kill them at will."

Everyone was startled, and quickly turned their heads to look, but it was an ordinary-looking deputy who stood up and tried to persuade him.

"Xi Sheng!" Hu Youwei was furious immediately, came over on horseback, and pointed at him with a whip: "Aren't you going to violate the military order?"

Xi Sheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I'm humble, I don't dare, it's just that my lord's military order is to exterminate the thieves, but this is an ordinary village, how can we soldiers point our swords and guns at the people?"

"Pooh!"

Snapped--

Hu Youwei was in a hurry, raised his horsewhip and whipped him across the head and face.

The whip whistled, Xi Sheng closed his eyes, cupped his fists and remained motionless, his cheeks became red and swollen visible to the naked eye, with blood oozing out of the skin, which slowly faded after being washed by the rain, and then dripped to the ground and disappeared without a trace. For a whip.

"You are a picky killer. There is news in the army. It is found that there are rebels infested here. Are you questioning the judgment of the Shangguan? Could it be that you are arrogant because you are the one I picked?"

Hu Youwei pointed at Xi Sheng, his eyes were full of cruelty, but he felt a little regretful in his heart, he shouldn't have brought this person here.

But he forgot that this Xi Sheng was not his confidant, but he saw that this person had some abilities and specially selected him, thinking of cultivating him as a confidant so that he could take him with him when he was promoted in the future, but he didn't know that he hadn't returned There are frequent rebellions in this state, and I don't know if this person can still be used for himself after this incident.

"I don't dare, I just know the villagers here, and I passed by here a few days ago. At that time, there were only ordinary people, and there were no rebels here. Please learn from me, my lord!"

Xi Sheng looked excited, bent his legs, knelt in the muddy water and lowered his head deeply.

The rain was falling, and some raindrops fell on Hu Youwei's eyes. The vicious man rubbed his eyes with his hand, exhaled, and said to the left and right: "Take this guy down!"

Immediately, the two looked at each other, and Qi Qi came over and turned Xi Sheng's arm around.

Xi Sheng suffered from the pain of being twisted, struggled twice, and shouted: "My lord, my lord, don't want to kill the people!"

Seeing that Hu Youwei ignored him, he turned his head and said to himself, "Dutou, tell your lord that you must not do this."

Hearing the smoke coming out of the seven orifices, Nadu said viciously in Xi Sheng's ear: "Xi Sheng, you bastard, I treat you as a brother in vain, and you, Qi grandson, are actually wearing small shoes for me at this time? I can't wait to eat it." You're a raw melon egg."

"All... all heads?"

Xi Sheng was startled, and stared blankly at Shangguan, who was usually called a brother and brother.

Nadu turned his head angrily, and shouted at the back: "Come on, take a rope and tie him up."

At that moment, a general from below found a rope and came over, wiped his shoulders, folded his arms and tied Xi Sheng up to Wuhuada, then found a piece of cloth and gagged his mouth, so as not to say anything else that would arouse the anger of the superior, and he might return it when he turned around. To be implicated and suffer.

"Hold him." Hu Youwei turned his face, looked at Xi Sheng bitterly and said, "Let him see how the rebel died, and then I will behead this person who violated the military order!"

"Yes."

All the generals and officers responded in unison, Xi Sheng whimpered anxiously at the side, but how could he hear what he said clearly with his mouth shut.

Hu Youwei glanced at him, sneered, and said to the crowd: "Order, this seizure belongs to the individual, and there is no need to turn it in. After killing the thief, each person will be rewarded three times."

For a while, the roar in the rain was the voice of Hu Youwei's order.

"Hey~ Thank you, my lord, for the reward!"

"Thank you for the reward!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The excited roar of all the soldiers resounded through the forest, and someone's excited gun barrel hit the ground, but because of the wet soil in the rainy day, it poked in and made no sound.

Xi Sheng watched this scene from the side, his face turned ashen, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he bent his body as if he had been exhausted.

Hu Youwei glanced at him sneeringly, cursed secretly, turned around and waved: "Go."

The sergeants behind him had red eyes, clenched their knives and guns, and filed out with ferocious smiles at the corners of their mouths.

Hu Youwei reined in the horse and gestured to his confidantes around him.

"grown ups."

"Take him and follow. Come and ask me later, this man will still be useful to me in the future."

Hu Youwei leaned over and whispered an order in the ear of his confidant.

Turning his head to look at Xi Sheng, he replied in a low voice, "I understand."

Immediately regaining consciousness, he ran to the side and dragged Xi Sheng up, pressing him to follow the team ahead.

The rainwater poured down, flowed down the temples, met and dripped on the saddle under the chin, broke into countless water droplets, fell on the ground and merged into the puddle.

Hu Youwei raised his hand and wiped his chin, snorted coldly, shook the rein and walked at the end, looking coldly at Xi Sheng's back.

I don't know how to flatter!Let you suffer a little bit first, to see if you dare to disobey my order again in the future.
