Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter [-] Old Knowledge
When Lu Bu led Chitu into the courtyard of old man Chen's house again, he saw the old man standing at the door of the main house, holding the door frame and looking out. Seeing Lu Bu and others coming in, he couldn't help but greet him: What happened outside?"

"Uncle Chen?" Before Lu Bu could answer, he heard Xi Sheng who was following behind him call out, flashed out from behind Lu Bu, walked up to him in two steps and grabbed his wrist, saying, "Luckily, you are old Ankang."

Old man Chen looked at Xi Sheng carefully after hearing the words, and said in surprise: "You are a young man, how could you be here?"

Xi Sheng had a bitter face: "It's a long story."

"Come in quickly and tell me." Old man Chen hurriedly dragged Xi Sheng into the house.

Lu Bu gestured to Ma Ling, this disciple did not disappoint him, and immediately followed the two into the house, while Lu Bu himself first brought Chitu into the barn to settle down.

Just as he was about to enter the house, he heard the sound of horseshoes coming through, and a fierce scorpion walked in first. In the darkness, he opened his mouth and smiled with white teeth: "Master Lu came back first. It’s really refreshing to kill late.”

Ruan Xiaoqi gave a wry smile from behind, and complained: "Brother Yan Jiao rushed too fast, he was refreshing, I only caught two in one night's work, but it didn't mean that I went fishing and went off the road and went into one. Wang Shishui, I didn't catch a fart."

Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Next time, let Brother Xiao Qi do it first, and you will be my debtor tonight."

Lu Bu patted Ruan Xiaoqi: "You dragon king in the water, why are you competing with this black bear on land?"

Ruan Xiaoqi patted his head: "That's right, I'd better stay in the water next time. I really can't get prey on land, so I'm so anxious."

Several people were talking while setting up their war horses. Before they were done, Deng Fei and Pan Zhong also walked in with their guards. Seeing that many people were present, they couldn't help sighing: "It seems that I was the slowest one to wait."

Lu Bu glanced at the two of them: "Are there any troubles?"

Deng Fei shook his head: "Never before, I just bumped into a head, but it was not a superfluous person. Brother Pan Zhong was stabbed to death with a gun, and a bird on a horse was killed with a throwing axe. It was nothing. a horse."

When everyone heard about it, they looked behind and saw that there was indeed an empty horse holding the rein in his hand.

"It's good luck." Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Brother Pan Zhong is also good at martial arts, he will kill him as soon as he thinks about it."

Pan Zhong shook his head in the back, his face was a little ugly: "It's nothing, but I met a few women who were alive, but committed suicide while we were not paying attention."

Ruan Xiaoqi and Yan Jiao looked at each other, but also smiled and said: "It's the same here, we didn't see any living people along the way."

Lu Bu didn't speak, but turned around and walked towards the main room: "Let's go inside first."

Everyone nodded, and the guards went back to the house to clean up and rest, while the leaders went to the main house in the rain.

Inside the house, the dim candlelight was beating, and there was a crackling sound from time to time. The old man Chen sat on the seat with a gloomy expression, two lines of muddy tears on his face slipped through the gully, and he raised his sleeve to wipe them away.

"Zengsheng still has officers and soldiers here, who are you?"

As soon as Lu Bu and the others came in, Li Jiao and the others behind saw Xi Sheng who was sitting beside him wearing official uniforms, and they were startled, and they all drew out their swords and guns.

Seeing this, Xi Sheng gave a wry smile, thinking to himself that he might have to tell his story three times tonight.

It was Ma Ling who waved his hands aside and said: "Brothers, put away your weapons first. This is brother Xi Sheng, not some villain. He wanted to stop the army from coming to slaughter the village tonight, but he was tied up by the Shangguan to make things happen. Beheaded to show the public, but was saved by Master, besides, he and Mr. Chen also know each other."

Lu Bu and the others looked at Lu Bu and saw their brother nodding, so they put away their weapons one after another. After drying the weapons, they found a place to put them away, and then sat down one after another.

"Master Chen..." Lu Bu spoke softly, hesitating for a while, not knowing what to say.

Old man Chen also slowed down at this time, wiped away the tears on his face, and said: "The old man's eye sockets are shallow, making everyone laugh."

Ruan Xiaoqi opened his mouth and said sullenly: "I can understand, if something like this happens in our village, I won't be much better off."

Old man Chen was silent for a moment and didn't speak.

But Lu Bu sized up old man Chen and said, "Old man doesn't seem to be angry, why is that?"

Xi Sheng had his head down, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head to look at old man Chen.

Sitting there, the old man was stunned for a moment, and sighed, "I can't hide it from my nephew. This old man... no, it should be said that these people who stayed in the village have expected this day."

Monk Zhang Er, who was listening to everyone, couldn't figure it out. Qi Qi looked at Old Man Chen suspiciously, and Xi Sheng couldn't help but asked, "Why is this?"

Old man Chen looked at Xi Sheng: "Is it right for you to wait for the officers and soldiers to suppress bandits in Yaoshan?"

Xi Sheng nodded and said: "That's true. It's been more than three months since the fight, Mr. Ma... Ma Wanli has been reprimanded by the governor of the prefecture for his failure to suppress bandits. I guess it's for this reason that Ma Wanli wants to kill Liang Mao. Gong, use the human head to appease the heart of Mr. Zhou."

Old man Chen nodded his head slowly, and said in his mouth: "So that's the case, but this time the prison is right."

Lu Bu and the others moved, but Xi Sheng was taken aback: "Why?"

Old man Chen said: "You waited late, but you didn't see it. There are not many young people in this village. Those who are courageous all followed me to Yaoshan to fight against the government army. Some of them were unbearable. Squeezed by the government, I took Xiruan and went to other places to make a living."

Lu Bu and the others suddenly realized, but Xi Sheng stood there in a daze, and said for a while, "Brother Chen... went to Yaoshan to fall grass?"

Old man Chen patted his thigh, nodded and said: "That's right, I took more than [-] young people from the village with me, didn't you meet him?"

Xi Sheng smiled wryly: "I was transferred here some time ago, so I haven't seen Brother Chen."

"What's the old man's plan in the future?" Lu Bu looked at him and asked softly.

Old man Chen was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Everyone in the village is dead, right?"

Lu Bu nodded: "It is true that there is no living person."

The old man Chen glanced at the candles on the table, and said with a sleepy expression: "The reason why I didn't leave here is because I am the village head. Now that the village is gone, there is no reason to stay. I will go to find the unfilial son. At worst, he died in the confrontation with the officials and the army, and he can still talk to that stupid woman if this continues, the old man did not bow to those corrupt officials."

"Okay!" Luan patted the table, Tong Ling's big eyes were shining brightly: "The old man is really a man, I admire him!"

Turning to Lu Bu, he said, "Village Master Lu, why don't you give me a helping hand."

Just as Lu Bu was about to turn his head to look at Deng Fei, he heard Deng Fei's voice yelling in his ear: "Good job, brother, how can we not kill such evil officials, and help them."

All of a sudden, everyone clamored and clamored to go to Yaoshan Mountain.

Lu Bu let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, since all the brothers intend to go, let's go together."

Everyone was overjoyed, and heard a hesitant voice say: "Uncle Chen, all Liangshan heroes, can you take me with you?"

"It's good that Brother Xi Sheng is willing to go. Let's go together tomorrow." Ma Lingxi said with a smile.

The rest of the people also nodded one after another, and old man Chen pulled out a smile: "Don't be so careful, you are my old acquaintance, so it's okay to be together."

Xi Sheng showed a smile at that moment, and everyone took a break immediately, without talking for a whole night.

……

The next day, the rain stopped at some point, and the golden light pierced the curtain of the night, illuminating the village that had been slaughtered last night.

Lu Bu and the others got up quite early, and at the begging of the old man Chen, the group gathered the villagers' corpses, wrapped them in straw mats and buried them hastily.As for the corpses of the officers and soldiers, they took off the usable leather armor, found dry firewood to set it up, and burned it clean.

Looking at the thick smoke behind him, the old man knelt down and kowtowed three times, then turned around and sat behind Yiluo, Xi Sheng rode the new horse he got last night, and the group of people galloped away.

……

Farther away, someone fled back to the barracks on horseback in a panic.

It was past time when the sergeant guarding the gate of the barracks saw someone running towards him on horseback. He was about to call out for him to stop when the old soldier on the side pulled him violently and whispered in his ear: "This is the horse!" Deputy Commander Hu, don't stop me."

The soldier immediately shut his tongue, looking at the deputy commander who had no helmet, disheveled hair, and looked like a soaked chicken ran into the barracks.

"Get out of the way! Get out of your way!"

After entering the camp, Hu Youwei still galloped on his horse, but was stopped by a sergeant in front. He immediately urged his horse to dodge and rewarded the man with a whip.

The gatekeeper sergeants who heard the voice at the back turned their heads to look, and the sergeant who wanted to intercept was silently speechless, and cast grateful eyes at the veteran.

Hu Youwei drove his horse to Ma Wanli's main tent and got off his horse. He didn't care if the leather armor on his body was tilted to one side, and ran straight in. Seeing Ma Wanli who was lying on the map watching, he knelt down and said: " The humble Hu Youwei has met the supervisor."

"Are you back?" Ma Wanli hummed without taking his eyes off the map, then raised his head to look at Hu Youwei: "It's quite... huh? Why do you look like this?"

Ma Wanli was shocked when he saw Hu Youwei's appearance clearly, he couldn't help standing up slightly, his eyes widened.

Hu Youwei smiled wryly, secretly thinking that if it wasn't raining in the dark night and he didn't know the way, he would have been able to go back last night, so he quickly got up and approached him and said, "Your Excellency, something has happened."

"What's the matter, tell me slowly." Ma Wanli comforted Hu Youwei, and said calmly, "But you met a thief?"

"Yes." Hu Youwei nodded and said in a low voice: "I left my lord yesterday and took people to Chenjia Village. I wanted to take advantage of the dark and rain to go in and do that, but I didn't want there to be rioters in the village. I was caught off guard by them, if I hadn't run lowly and fast, Zhemo would be completely cold now."

"Chen Family Village?" Ma Wanli looked at Hu Youwei in surprise, "How could there be bandits there?"
