Chapter 4 The Situation of the County (3)
Liu Bei's brothers finally got out of the north gate, ran wildly, ran for a pillar of incense for a long time, and saw that there were no chasing soldiers behind them, so they put a heart hanging in their throats back into their stomachs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The two brothers ran in stinky sweat, and their heads and faces were yellow and dusty. After the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, they felt exhausted and their mouths were dry, and they immediately fell into the grass by the roadside. You look at me, I look at you, and I laugh out loud.
After laughing, Liu Ke wrinkled his little face and said worriedly: "Fifth brother, how can I offend Hua Tai Sui this time?" ā
Liu Bei tilted his head and looked at Liu Kele and said, "Eleventh brother, didn't you say that you weren't afraid?" Why, after the fight, I know I'm scared? It's late! ā
Liu Ke was worried: "Fifth brother, I'm not afraid of Hua Tai Sui. It's just that I heard that Hua Tai Sui has been rampant in the city for more than ten years, and there are many friends. IāI'm afraid of causing trouble for my family. At this point, his voice involuntarily lowered, and his eyes were blank.
Liu Bei slowly comforted his younger brother while kneading his sore arms: "Eleventh brother, you think too much." He is not easy to mess with, and our Lousang Liu family is easy to mess with? Hua Er's group of fox friends and dog friends, left and right are just some villains who forget their righteousness, and which one is a good son who is chivalrous and righteous? If he dares to provoke my Lousang Liu family without interest, he will not be able to eat and walk around. Besides, for the sake of Mao Si, Hua Er will not be able to stir up the public. At most, I ran away with our brothers today, and I couldn't get over the face. After a long time, the matter faded. You can rest assured. After comforting Liu Ke, Liu Bei was ruthless in his heart, Hua Er, you insulted me today, this matter is not over!
After Liu Ke heard this, his face immediately turned cloudy, and he said happily: "That fifth brother, if we fight today, the adults in the family won't know, right?" ā
Liu Bei puffed and said with a smile: "Eleventh brother, I don't think you are afraid of Hua Er, nor are you afraid of causing trouble for the family." Are you afraid that your uncle will find out, so you will eat your uncle and beat him? ā
Seeing Liu Ke hanging his little head embarrassedly, he sighed again: "Alas, no, I still have to tell the adults in the family truthfully after I go back today." ā
Liu Ke hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Fifth brother, why?" ā
Liu Bei said: "There is no impermeable wall in the world. Sooner or later, this will have to reach the ears of the adults in the family. How do we hide it? It's okay to take the initiative to explain, after all, we have a reason, but if we wait until the adults know and come to us, then it's over. It's hard to have a butt to bloom. ā
Liu Ke automatically made up for his father's fists against him, and he couldn't help but be shocked at the moment, and said, "Fifth brother, what should I do?" ā
Liu Bei said angrily: "What should I do?" When I got back, I told the truth and handed it over to the adults to deal with. Hey, I said, why are you pulling a face, and you haven't lost the battle? ā
Liu Ke muttered: "It's bitter...... Maybe I'm going to be beaten up by my father! ā
Liu Bei felt even more bitter: "You are just a beating, and your flesh and skin are suffering." If my grandmother knew that I was fighting again, I don't know what I would be angry about. Pity my mother and ...... weak."
Before he finished speaking, he remembered the herbs he had grabbed for his mother, and hurriedly touched it in his arms and found that there was only one pack left. One of the other packs was thrown away as a hidden weapon during a fight, and a few others were missing. When I touched it again, the money was gone. Today I hunted a deer, and in exchange for the money, in addition to catching a few medicines, I bought a few cakes, and then threw them to the craftsman. The scattered five-baht coins are all gone. Liu Bei knew that he was lost when he was fighting or escaping, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was unlucky. It's a waste of work to get up early today.
At this time, the sun is in the middle of the sky, the summer is hot, and the earth is steaming. The two brothers first found a shady place to rest, and when their strength gradually recovered, they went to Lousang Village one after the other.
After walking for a short time, I saw a mulberry forest in front of me in the distance, and a small stream passed around the village. A few wisps of green smoke swirled over the mulberry forest. Turn a corner, and you will see a row of stone walls and two watchtowers. Lousang Village has arrived. Liu Bei and Liu Ke brothers glanced at each other and walked towards the village.
The creek runs from east to west, making a circle at the foot of the hill to the south. At the foot of the North Mountain, there are rows of houses. The blue tiles and white walls are scattered. Liu Bei's family is at the entrance of the village, and a few years ago, he treated his father for a doctor, treated a funeral, and spent money like running water. After the transfer of the land is almost done, only this house remains. At the entrance of the village, Liu Bei didn't care whether Liu Ke was alive or dead, and casually commanded a few words, and then walked to his yard with a sad face. As he walked, he thought about how to reply to his mother.
Liu Bei gently pushed open the bamboo door of the small courtyard, looked over to see that there was no one in the courtyard, and let out a long breath. I'm tiptoeing back to my room to clean up. A weak voice came from the room on the left: "Is my son back outside?" ā
When Liu Bei heard this, he walked over with a bitter face, bowed outside the door, and said, "The child has asked A-Niang to say goodbye." ā
The weak voice was visibly cheerful: "Come in." ā
Liu Bei pushed open the door, and there was nothing else in the room. A woman was sitting on a couch with a sickly face. Years of hardships have made her look very old when she is less than forty years old. There is only a pair of dark eyes, and they are as bright as they were back then.
When Mrs. Liu saw her strong son come in, she was overjoyed, put down the needlework in her hand, and asked, "My son, it's half a day, and you can have dinner?" ā
Liu Bei hurriedly replied: "Mother, I have already eaten, and I ate it with my eleventh brother." But he kept standing at the door, not daring to go too close. I'm afraid that my mother will see what is wrong with me. Who would have thought that Liu Shi continued: "My son came forward, and my mother helped you change your clothes, come and take them to try to see if they fit." ā
Liu Bei secretly complained bitterly, but he didn't dare to slack off, he was busy taking a few steps forward, and just wanted to take his clothes and go back to the room. As soon as he got close to the front of the couch, he heard a loud sound, and then Mrs. Liu's stern voice sounded: "Hair and temples are scattered, face is full of yellow dust, and clothes are untidy!" Okay, good, what a rebel, went out and got into trouble again, yes or no? ā
Liu Bei heard his mother's cold voice, knew that his mother was angry, and immediately said nothing, knelt silently in front of the couch, and said in a low voice: "Mother, the child knows that he is wrong!" ā
Mrs. Liu snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, who is not long-sighted and provoked you Liu Daxia?" ā
Liu Bei didn't dare to hide it, and was busy telling the story of Zhuoxian in detail. Of course, it is inevitable to exaggerate the evil of Mao Si and others and promote the merits of one's own body.
Mrs. Liu was extremely angry when she heard this, and scolded: "You evil obstacle! Specially bring trouble to my Liu family! How can you provoke such wicked people as Hua Ermao and Si as children? It's really bitter! ā
Mrs. Liu scolded for a while, and when she saw her son kneeling on the ground, pitiful, she couldn't help but feel distressed again, and thought of her husband, who died early, and her hard work over the years. Suddenly, the intestines turned soft, and sadness came from it: "My son, you have no father since you were a child, and you have worked hard for your mother to pull you to the present, I don't expect you to glorify your ancestors, I just wish you peace for a lifetime." But who would have thought that my Liu family would study the heirloom, and your father and ancestor also went out of Shizhou County, but now you are a brave and ruthless man? ā
Liu cried loudly: "Pity your father only has your bloodline left, if you have a mistake, how can you see your ancestors and ancestors of the Liu family after the death of your mother?" How do you face your Father? Rebel, rebel, are you going to be angry with me? ā
Liu Bei looked at his mother's tears and was already frightened. I want to tell my mother that it's not as terrible as I imagined, that Hua Er may not make a big fight for Mao Er, besides, there are so many men in Lou Sang's Liu family, and my uncle is a well-known man, who are you afraid of? I was afraid of overstimulating my own mother, so I thought about it and didn't dare to squeak.
Liu cried for a while, suppressed his sorrow, wiped his tears, looked at his son kneeling in front of the couch, and sighed: "It's really a big deal." You kneel here first, and I'll go to your uncle's. With that, he got up and went out the door.
Liu Bei turned around and saw that his aunt was gone, so he took a long breath and got up. Early this morning, I climbed the mountains and hunted, and then I went into the city and couldn't rest for a while, and I fought again, and then I ran away again. By the time I got home, I was tired and hungry. I knelt down for a short time just now, and my knees were already sore.
Liu Bei sat cross-legged facing the door, so that if Liu came back, he would know immediately, and quickly put on his knees again.
Lousang Liu's family, more than 1,000 households, multiplied so far, although they are relatives, they also have their own distance. In the past, there were two people who had the closest contact with Liu Bei's family. First, Liu Bei's uncle Liu Gong and Liu Zijing; The first is the clan uncle Liu Yuanqi. Liu Zijing is the father of Liu Ke and a famous hero in Zhuo County. Just now, the Liu family went to Liu Zijing's house to ask for countermeasures.
Liu Zijing family, Liu Ke knelt straight and straight under a crooked neck tree, in front of his gaze, his father and mother were eating. Liu Ke stared straight at a big bowl of meat and kept swallowing his saliva.
Liu Zijing sandwiched a piece of meat, glanced at Liu Ke, and said, "I have a long ability, my wings are hard, and I have gone to the county seat." I love to fight so much, and I seem to have a lot of energy. Then kneel down for Lao Tzu. ā
Liu Ke came back to his senses, tilted his head, and said fiercely: "I'm not wrong!" ā
Liu Zijing slapped his chopsticks and said angrily: "Do you still know how to pout?" Oh no? ā
Liu Ke's mother put down the bowl, gently pulled Liu Zijing, and said, "Be in charge, dissipate your anger." Ke'er was not wrong, he and Bei'er did not take the initiative to cause trouble. If you want me to see it, forget it. You can't starve your child. ā
Liu Zijing ate another piece of meat, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and said, "What do women know?" Hmph, he can't get used to this today, otherwise he will be overturned! ā
After a pause, Liu Zijing looked at Liu Ke again and scolded: "Bastard thing! Lao Tzu asked you to follow your brother, did he let you go to fight? Good guys, two of them fight more than a dozen, and it's easy to provoke such a splash like Hua Er? Well? Give Lao Tzu a kneeling and reflect! ā
Liu Ke was infinitely aggrieved in his heart, whether it was good to make trouble first and whether it was good for the fifth brother to make trouble first, and whether it was good for the fifth brother to make the first move in the fight. But he didn't dare to say any more, and if he said a few more words, he would be beaten if he didn't do it.
Liu Ke and his aunt can't look at it next to him, Liu Ke is her heart: "Boss, I can't complain about Ke'er for this, I have to blame you." What kind of father does this look like, what kind of son you have, your ability to cause trouble is much better than Ke'er............"
Liu Gong saw that his mother-in-law was nagging again, so he coughed a few times and said roughly: "Okay, okay, let this stinky boy kneel down again and get up to eat!" After a few more mouthfuls of rice, Fang put down the bowl, and saw Liu Ke squeezing his eyebrows, his heart was furious, he glared at him, and was about to scold, but he heard the courtyard door ringing, and when he opened it, it was his widow's sister-in-law, Liu Bei's mother, who came. Hurriedly greeted him.
Liu Gong only felt that everything was not going well today, just now his mother-in-law was nagging endlessly, and now his sister-in-law wiped her tears and told him everything. said that Liu Hong entrusted him to take care of Liu Bei, not for him to teach Liu Bei to fight bravely, in case of a mistake, how could he be worthy of Liu Hongyunyun underground. made Liu Gong's head as big as a fight, and he could only stare dryly and couldn't get angry.
It's easy to talk about it, and persuade his sister-in-law to leave, Liu Gong breathed a sigh of relief. The chest was tight, but there was nowhere to vent, so he had to put the account on the heads of Hua Taisui and others. Dare to beat your own son and nephew, Hua Er, this matter is not over!
