Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

When the rooster crows, it begins to rain heavily, and the raindrops hit the quiet mountains and fields, adding more noise to the otherwise silent night. When a ray of light shines in the east, the rain clouds slowly close up, and the golden sun rises, fading away the cyan curtain, leaving only white clouds floating in the sky.

"Brother, big brother."

The clear cry echoed in Huarong Courtyard. Little Li Guang opened his eyes and sat up, covering his forehead. There was a banquet on the mountain last night. During the excitement, he couldn't help but drink more. Even though he claimed to have a good drinker, he still couldn't beat him. There were so many other people, and I was so intoxicated that I could only remember watching a fat monk wearing a peony embroidery and dancing with his Zen staff at the end, and there were vague figures around him cheering.

Turning her head to look at Cui, who was sleeping deeply, she sighed and stood up with her hands on her hands. If it weren't for her own sister, she would know the consequences of disturbing someone's dream.

Hua Rong got out of bed, put on her shoes, put on her clothes resignedly, opened the door and looked at the neatly dressed Hua Baoyan, and said angrily: "What are you yelling about so early in the morning? I won't let anyone sleep."

"You drank too much soup yourself, do you blame me?" Hua Baoyan wrinkled her little nose and stepped back: "Brother, how much did you drink last night? The smell of alcohol is still there."

"How do I know how much I drank..." Hua Rong replied, reaching out and lighting her: "What do you care about this? Why do you get up so early here?"

The girl chuckled, pointed outside and said confidently: "Yesterday I heard someone said there is a waterfall in the southeast. I want to see it."

"Is that why?" Hua Rong pinched his forehead. He felt his head pounding after hearing these words.

"Of course not. I heard that there are a lot of wild game on this mountain. You might as well go hunt some and bring it back to eat." Hua Baoyan looked at Hua Rong and said, "When I talked to the people in this village today, they said that the only food they eat is rice noodles and wild vegetables, which are rare. As for meat, the village has people hunting from time to time to add some meat, so I thought we would share some with them when we have game."

The face of the brother opposite him softened a little, he put down the hand holding his forehead and said, "You are so kind, how many people can you provide for so many people?" Seeing the girl opposite, she pouted and waved her hand, "Okay. , Okay, you can go, but you have to wait for me to eat something before talking to my brother."

"I've already told my brother." Hua Baoyan tilted her head.

Hua Rong was startled: "When?"

"When I woke up in the morning, I saw my brother going to practice. I told him then."

"Oh..." Hua Rong responded, and then sighed: "Brother is really good at drinking. He drank a lot last night, but he was not even a little drunk."

"It's called not getting drunk after a thousand cups." The girl said crisply, then turned and walked towards her room: "Hurry up and wash up and eat. I will go back to the room to prepare."

"I know -" Hua Rong drawled, turned around and entered the room. Seeing Ms. Cui lying on her side and looking at him, she walked over and sat down: "Did I bother you?"

"My little sister's voice is so loud, how can I not wake up?"

"Then I'll take care of her later."

"Come on, I can't bear to let you bully my little sister." Mrs. Cui stood up and urged Hua Rong: "The officer goes to ask how to solve the problem of breakfast. Eat quickly and you have to accompany my little sister out."

"okay."

Hua Rong responded, turned around and walked out of the room.

……

same moment.

On the official road, the ground that had rained was muddy and slippery. The uneven road was covered with puddles of different sizes. Reflecting the sunlight in the sky, it seemed to be rippling gently. The soles of the shoes full of wet mud stepped on the ground, still looking immature. His face was full of disgust.

"Qingzhou Prefecture doesn't even stop to repair the roads." After avoiding a puddle, Xu Wen frowned: "This is where the Jingdong Administrative Office is. Isn't it a slap in the face of Jingdong people to make it so difficult?" "I don't think so. It hurts..."

The words coming from behind made Xu Wenheng look over. The man shrank his neck and said seriously: "Brother Wen, the prefect here is said to be a greedy and ruthless person. It's not surprising that he has such a path."

"Come on." Xu Wen waved his hand and didn't want to say more. He lowered his head and saw that the newly bought shoes were covered with mud. The dissatisfaction in his heart once again amplified a little: "Hurry up. The Erlong Mountain is not far away. I hope it will be noon. I can make it."

"Oh, it's noon time..." Bandang, who was following behind, muttered: "Where are we going to have lunch? We can't eat in a bandit's den."

Xu Wen stopped and turned to look at him: "What do you want to say?"

The man swallowed his saliva and looked at Xu Wen holding the knife in a somewhat unkind manner. Although he knew that the other party would not be violent and hurt anyone, he could not help but feel a little scared in his heart: "I just want to remind you...Brother Wen, then After all, the people around us are not the same as us. We..." As he finished speaking, under the gaze of the dark eyes on the other side, he said it bravely: "We'd better not eat or drink there. I heard that some thieves will The hemp is turned into minced meat and sold.”

"Okay, don't think too much." Xu Wen was a little impatient after hearing this: "He is a copycat and not a black shop. If you don't want to go, just go back first. I can go by myself."

The man's eyes moved, and finally he said: "I... I'd better follow along."

"Then don't be nagging." Xu Wen couldn't bear it, turned around and stepped forward: "Let's go quickly."

The two figures grew longer and longer in the sunlight.

……

The sun gradually moves towards the center.

The soaring shadow flew over the treetops, and suddenly, an arrow "swooshed" out of the bushes. The bird chirped miserably, and then fell down in a swirl.

"M-mine, I cum."

Hua Baoyan ran out in a light yellow outfit, holding her own bow in her hand, with a look of joy on her face. Hua Rong, dressed in white, walked behind with her bow in hand, with disgust on her face: "You came out to hunt. Just for shooting birds? Who can eat this thing, and they think it’s stuffy for their teeth as a snack?”

"Do you want to take care of it?" Hua Baoyan glared at him, bent down to pick up the bird, and pointed to the two rabbits hanging around her waist: "It's almost enough for lunch. Let's eat this later, and then find the big rabbit." A big fight."

"Okay." Hua Rong shook his head helplessly: "As long as you are happy."

"Of course." The girl raised her head and waved her hand: "Let's go to the pool and wash up first."

……

"Brother Wen, it's almost noon, why don't you find a place to rest?"

Under the scorching sun, the ground has dried up, but the mountain roads are mostly blocked by the shade of trees and are still a little muddy. After walking for a long time, my mouth is parched and my tongue is dry. I take a sip from my water bag, then frown and pour it out twice, a few drops of liquid. It drips down and melts into the mud.

"Okay, it will take a while to get to the cottage."

After plugging the mouth and hanging the water bag on his waist, Xu Wen wiped the sweat from his neck and looked up at the surrounding woods: "I remember going up from here. There is a pool in the forest. Let's go there to have a rest. Get some water and take it with you.”
