Chapter 2 Out of the plug (6)

Just as he was thinking about how to answer, Xu Dayan stood up and said first: "What a person General Luo is, how could he pay attention to this little thing? But the lieutenant under his tent praised us for being righteous and forced us to drink until now. He also promised that if there is something to do in Zhuozhou, Yuyang, and Anle in the future, he would report his name to his name!" As he said that, while others were not paying attention, he gently kicked Li Xu's calf with his heels.

"Yes, Captain Bu is enthusiastic. We were pulled away and we couldn't walk away, so we came back late!" Li Xu, who had never lie, said stutteringly. On his chest, he felt a deer jumping constantly.

"Yeah!" Zhang San, the deputy leader of the caravan who originally wanted to make a fuss, lost his temper and cursed with a grim face: "Business people are smiling and welcome guests from all over the world. When will it be our turn to report the injustice? Once we reach the ground..." Halfway through the scolding, I thought that it was still the territory of Zhuozhou, and it was even worse to offend the government. I spit out thick phlegm on the ground, stamped my feet with straw sandals, and left in a sneer.

Seeing that the deputy leader stopped talking, Wang Ermazi also lost his words. During the day, he and Lao Du and others saw the captain named Bu and sent the two little bastards out of the city with a smile. Although this person was only a sixth-rank captain, the captain of the Hu Ben Iron Cavalry was more majestic than the head of a county in various parts of the border. If he had lost face with the Hu Ben Iron Cavalry, he would not have to pass through Zhuozhou in the future.

"Be careful in the future, don't worry about the other things you can do. Once the two Hu people hurt you, I can't explain to your family!" Sun Jiu saw that his companions had all walked away, shook his head and sighed and advised him. Looking at the two teenagers' red faces, he lowered his voice a little, and said, "They lost money in the afternoon and felt unhappy. So don't mess with them. The vendors who were rescued by you in the afternoon were from Yangzhou. They came to the door and gave you two large pieces of Su Cho as a thank you gift. I'll stuff you into the bed for you. You can keep it! It should be worth a lot of money!"

"Thank you, Uncle Jiu!" Li Xu and Xu Dayan bowed at the same time. The character of the caravan leader Sun Jiu was completely different from that of several other old people. He was open-minded, generous, and knew how to cherish his younger generations. Such an elderly person could be respectful regardless of his status.

"Go to bed early, get up early tomorrow!" Sun Jiu smiled kindly and turned around and left.

A sudden storm disappeared without a trace with the calm response of Xu big eyes. The two teenagers stuck out their tongues at each other and followed Sun Jiu to their respective bedrooms.

The so-called bedroom is just two large houses facing each other. Each house is built with wooden boards, with straw on it for merchants to rest. Although it is a bit simple, it is already a high-end and elegant room than sleeping in the wild. So at this time, there were already snoring sounds in the house.

Li Xu tiptoed into the house, followed Sun Jiu's prior instructions, and found his own bunk. The quilt roll had been unfolded. Judging from the straight creases at the corners, it was Uncle Jiu who helped him. Li Xu was grateful and nodded vigorously to the figure outside the window, reaching out and touching his quilt.

A soft feeling like warm water immediately slid down to his chest. It was the top Su Shi, no wonder several old vendors who lost money from gambling were jealous. Li Xu picked up the silk surface with the moonlight shining outside the window and saw the color of clouds like clouds in the blue sky. This is the favorite color of scholars from wealthy families. Xu Dayan wore this one, and Zhang Xiaowu also had a similar straight hem, but he was reluctant to wear it all the time. It was only on important days that he wore it out to show off.

Thinking about what happened during the day, Li Xu couldn't sleep. Captain Bu's appearance of holding a spear was imprinted in his mind like a knife. Once he closed his eyes, his heart was filled with the image of a heroic hero. Compared to this clear heroic image, General Luo, whom Captain Bu's admiration, was a little blurry. Although General Luo was a big hero, his story was exciting.

After turning back and forth, Li Xu still couldn't sleep. Even though he knew that he was destined to be out of the way with the horse spear in his life, he had no chance to do a sixth-rank military position like the lieutenant Bu. When chatting with Xu Dayan during the day, he learned that even if he was in the army, it would be difficult for ordinary soldiers to make a breakthrough. Children from aristocratic families were stronger than their own, and their martial arts were higher than their own, so they naturally became faster than themselves. Children of small families like him were usually only qualified to transport supplies, or carried firewood to fill the trenches when siege. After death, they would not have horses and corpses, but buried them randomly, and within a few days they would get the wolves and vultures' belly.

Thinking of the wild wolf, Li Xu remembered Ganluo, who was placed in a corner of the stable. His master was not liked by everyone, and Ganluo probably had no one to take care of him. He climbed down from the bunk, and then Yueguang took out a large piece of jerky meat from his bag, and Li Xu tiptoed into the moonlight.

The moonlight poured into the yard full of donkey poop and horse manure like water. The whole ground seemed to be dyed with frost, soft and beautiful. The fields were very quiet, and occasionally the chirping of crickets came from the corner of the yard, astringent, as if the throat was hurt by the autumn wind. Li Xu remembered that before he left, his uncle always coughed. I don’t know how his throat was now. After eating the herbs he dug up, he would be better. As for her mother, under the moonlight, she should sit in the yard again and step on the loom machine under the moonlight. The mother, who had been weaving linen for three days, seemed to rarely wear new clothes. In her memory, every piece of her clothes was patched.

After leaving home for a few days, Li Xu found that he was very homesick. The joy of wandering before leaving was gone. At this moment, the only thing hidden in his heart was the deep longing for his parents. However, he could not go back to that family in a short time and recruitment was imminent. According to Xu Dayan's analysis, once the government was anxious, any children of any family would force themselves. If the wealthy families who wanted to use money to bribe relationships, they had to see if the men could protect the official hat on their heads first.

A little light attracted his attention. It was a small room specially opened by the owner for the caravan leader. In the whole caravan, only Sun Jiu was qualified to live there. Thinking about the old man's care for him along the way, Li Xu slipped back to the house, grabbed the piece of Su silk, and touched Sun Jiu's bedroom.

The moment he stepped into the yard again, he heard a few noises rushing out along the window of Sun Jiu's room.

"You always protect him. Today he dares to manage the Turkish people's affairs. If he goes out of the trap, he dares to manage the other people's affairs. Once the caravan causes trouble, everyone will lose everything!" This was Uncle Zhang San's voice, with a sharp and anxious look. Usually, he always smiles and calls Li Xu to help him do things.

"Yes, Brother Jiu. That kid is not a business dealer at all. He has no eyewitness and a stubborn temper. He has to teach everything and is easy to cause trouble. With him, he will definitely have countless troubles in the future!" Wang Mazi said this, and Li Xu clearly remembered the disgusting yellow teeth in his mouth when he spoke.

"There is also the little wolf, who is getting bigger and bigger. Brother Jiu, you have to make an idea. Everyone trusts you, and you can't let him mess around. The surname Xu can't afford to mess with him, but Li Damu is a guy who can't beat him. Are we still afraid of him?" Du Chairen said this. Li Xu knew that since the first day he left home, this person had been talking about the meals he had eaten in an inn and paid twice the price of eating at another house. But that day, Li Xu clearly remembered that the gift this person gave him was just a blank money, and there was still half a corner missing.

In an instant, the invisible moonlight in the sky turned into tangible cold water, pouring on Li Xu. He felt that his whole body was cold and his flesh and blood were frozen in one place. This was the "friend" who first patted his chest in front of his parents and said he wanted to take care of his safety along the way. This was the elder who once touched his head and had a loving face. They planned to drive themselves away just for a possible danger. Last night, when they were feeding the animals, they also said it was a blessing to take them with them!

What you see with your own eyes may not be the truth. What you hear with your own ears may not be the fact. Li Xu remembered Master Yang's farewell message, and flames slowly ignited in his eyes.

"Have you made enough trouble? Are you planning to stand at Xu Gong's bedside and tell him what he said in person!" Sun Jiu's voice slowly came out through the thick paper window. It was not high, but it was firm and powerful. Li Xu saw Uncle Jiu stand up, and the light cast his figure on the paper window, looking as majestic as a mountain.

"I understand what you forced me to do. I, Sun Jiu, also said this today. Now in Jixian Town, there are more than me who are preparing to set off. Whoever plans to dismantle the fire and join other caravans? If you don't wake up tomorrow morning, I will never stop me. But whoever wants to throw Xu Gong down, there is no door. Let me say it again, listen to it. Tonight, you will just shout, "If you leave Zhuozhou, don't blame me Sun Jiu for not treating him as a friend!" After that, he took off one thing from his waist and slapped it on the table.

Zhang San, Du Cra, Wang Mazi and others were all shocked. No one expected that Sun Jiu would get angry with a few old partners for a little hairy child. Several people muttered a few times, not daring to say more. Seeing everyone's dissatisfaction, Sun Jiu sat down with a short knife and whispered: "That child is a little reckless, but he is not bad. Along the way, he hasn't helped anyone with your help? He has never gone far away, and everything has to be taught. But has he used your teaching a second time? A child who has read a book, is kind-hearted and knows the warmth of the cold and warmth, do you still have the heart to bully him? I also know that you are bullying his father Li Mao honestly, but brothers, let's not just focus on the front of you. There is an old saying that don't bully a young man poor..."

Li Xu wiped the tears from his face, held the cold Su Shi and slowly retreated. He didn't want to listen anymore. This might be the case in the world. He might step on horse manure or pick up mushrooms. Nothing is born perfect, and everyone will appreciate you and understand your efforts.

That night, Li Xu had a dream. In the dream, he saw himself riding a horse with a spear and rushing on the battlefield. Around the battlefield, countless strange or familiar faces were cheering loudly.
