20.Chapter 20: Reunion
Three days have passed since what happened in Puyang City, and now the entire East County is in a sensation, and even other neighboring counties are talking about it.
In this era, there were no entertainment measures in later generations, and now a major event finally happens, and people naturally compete to discuss it.
Therefore, in the East County, from the high-ranking officials and nobles, to the powerful families, down to the peddlers, pawns, tenants and domestic slaves, now everyone knows the name of Chen Xu.
Leping, subordinate to Chenliu, adjacent to the white horse of Dongjun, Crouching Tiger Ridge is located here, such as today the color is dim, the mountain occasionally sounds the howl of wild beasts, making this place inaccessible.
At this moment, a tall figure appeared, and the comer first looked around vigilantly, and saw that there was no one around, and then quickly ran towards the mountain.
This person is Chen Xu, after the murder in Puyang City, he fled on horseback, but he was covered in blood and rode a high-headed horse, which was quite conspicuous.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, Chen Xu had to abandon the horse and let him run in other directions, but he hid in the mountains, washed off the blood stains on his body, and went out day and night, rushing to Leping.
In order to be safe, he hid and rested during the day and hurried at night, plus he chose some remote mountain roads that were inaccessible, and he got lost a few times in the middle, so it took three days to arrive here.
After three days of sleeping in the open, Chen Xu's clothes were a little tattered, his long hair was scattered over his shoulders, and with his vigorous figure, he was like a lion on the grassland.
Chen Xu looked at Crouching Tiger Ridge, and after three days of escape, he actually felt a little kind.
Because of killing 17 people in Puyang City in a row, Chen Xu unconsciously brought some murderous aura on his body, so although it was a time for fierce beasts to forage at night, ordinary beasts did not dare to provoke Chen Xu.
"I'm here, I don't know if I'm going to cause trouble for my brother."
Maybe it was because of his hometown timidity, Chen Xu crossed the mountains and mountains, looked at Dian Wei's residence from afar, and was actually a little hesitant.
At this moment, a gust of evil wind accompanied by the sound of a tiger's roar rushed over. Chen Xu was shocked, and immediately dodged to dodge, and then climbed the big tree in the mountain like an ape.
The sudden attack made Chen Xu break out in a cold sweat.
The big tree was thick and had many branches, and the breeze blew, and the scorched yellow leaves fell down.
"Roar!"
In the dark night, the two eyes that emit a faint green light are particularly terrifying.
"Damn, I actually forgot that there are tigers in the mountains, although ordinary beasts are afraid of the murderous aura on my body, but the tigers are not afraid."
Chen Xu touched the clothes that were scratched, and said with annoyance, it was good that he flashed fast just now, otherwise he would really lose his life.
In the past few days, he has encountered wild beasts in the mountains, and he was a little worried at first, but later he found that the wild beasts ran away as soon as they saw him, so he was a little careless, but he forgot that there were tigers here.
Chen Xu now has only the one-stone strong bow captured in Puyang City, but the arrows have long been used up, and the spear was also thrown to the ground by Chen Xu in a hurry just now, looking at the roaring tiger, Chen Xu had a headache.
If it was broad daylight, Chen Xu still had the courage to fight with the tigers, but now it was night, and there was only sporadic moonlight sprinkled on the earth, and if he went down, there was only a dead end.
Chen Xu looked at the big insect that was eyeing him, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he could only spend the night in the tree tonight.
However, trees are not completely safe, and there are many venomous snakes that like to hide in trees to hunt.
Regardless of the tiger pulling the big tree with its front paws, Chen Xu looked around vigilantly and carefully.
Fortunately, autumn came, and there were not many leaves on the trees, so he could see at a glance whether there was any danger on the trees, and Chen Xu was relieved to see that there were no poisonous snakes.
"Roar!"
The tiger roared, suddenly left the tree, and roared in one direction, with some fear in his voice.
Chen Xu vaguely saw a tall figure, somewhat familiar, and was overjoyed at the moment, and couldn't help shouting: "Is the person who came brother?" ”
The visitor was also overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the person on the tree is Dalang?" ”
Dian Wei was resting, and when he heard the roar of the tiger, he came out to take a look, but he didn't want to hear Chen Xu's voice, and he was quite happy in his heart.
Since Dian Wei, a fierce general, came over, Chen Xu naturally wanted to ask him for help and stay in the tree for a night, after all, it was not comfortable, and he hurriedly replied: "Brother, I am Da Lang." ”
Dian Wei saw Chen Xu hiding in the tree and the tiger roaring under the tree, hurriedly came over, picked up the spear that Chen Xu threw on the ground, and scolded the tiger: "The evil beast still doesn't get out of the way?" ”
His voice was like thunder, which shook Chen Xu's ears.
Fortunately, it was in the mountains, and the nearby villages were far away, otherwise Dian Wei's voice would definitely be heard.
"Could it be that those top generals are all loud voices?" Chen Xu thought of Zhang Fei and muttered in his heart.
When he rescued the two children at the city gate, Chen Xu also shouted involuntarily, and actually let the three horses stop in fright, and then he had a chance to rescue the two children.
The tiger looked at Dian Wei in fear, took a few steps back, roared twice in a fierce and restrained manner, and then turned and fled.
Although he knew that in history, Dian Wei could chase the tiger across the stream, and Chen Xu had also seen the picture of Dian Wei bullying the tiger, but now seeing that the tiger was so afraid of Dian Wei, Chen Xu still sighed in his heart.
Chen Xu came down from the tree and praised sincerely: "Brother is really a god!" ”
Dian Wei scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Da Lang praised, this big worm is afraid of me, otherwise it will really fight hard at night, and even I will be afraid of three points." ”
The two returned to Dian Wei's place together, Dian Wei took out some wine and food, and the two talked while drinking.
In the light of the fire, Dian Wei saw Chen Xu's hair emanating from his head, and he was puzzled, so he couldn't help asking.
"Da Lang came late at night, and he looks like this, I don't know why?"
Chen Xu put down the meat in his hand, sorted out his thoughts, and told Dian Wei in detail what happened, but he just concealed him and Chen Jing and deceived Zhang Qi's slaves to burn the fields.
Dian Wei listened with enthusiasm and fascination.
He is a martial artist, with the spirit of a chivalrous man, and has always respected heroes, seeing Chen Xu so brave, he couldn't help but high-five and praise: "Good!" I don't want Da Lang to have such courage before he reaches the crown, what a big husband is! ”
Chen Xu shook his head when he heard this: "With my brother Zhuyu in front, what is the wonder of what I did?" ”
Dian Wei shook his head and said: "Da Lang Xiu should be humble, and my generation should be open-minded and seek truth from facts." I killed people in a small county town, how can it be compared to Da Lang killing Zhang Qi's family in the county town? ”
When Chen Xu heard this, he didn't answer anymore, but said: "I got into such a big disaster, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the ground, and finally I thought of coming to my brother to avoid trouble. ”
When Dian Wei heard this, he was displeased: "Since Da Lang regards me as a brother, how can he talk about the word "involvement?" ”
"Although I am Chen Liuji, I have also heard about the evil deeds of the Zhang family, Dalang attaches importance to righteousness and reckless life, eliminates harm for the people, and causes trouble and becomes a fugitive, why am I not?" The word 'tired', Hugh has to talk about it again. ”
"Besides, I am alone on the mountain, and there is no one to talk to, and I am very bored, and now I have a big man as a companion, and I am very happy."
Although the two had only seen each other for a few days, they seemed to have endless words, and they talked until late before falling asleep......
On the second day, Chen Xu didn't rest well because he was worried about the road for three consecutive days, so he slept until noon and didn't wake up, Dian Wei couldn't bear to wake him up, so he went hunting alone.
"Big brother, big brother, get up quickly."
In a trance, Chen Xu seemed to hear someone calling him, and opened his dry eyes, but saw that the person who called him was actually Chen Hu.
Rubbing his eyes, Chen Xu asked suspiciously, "Ah Hu, why are you here?" ”
Although Jiwu and Leping both belong to Chenliu County, Leping is close to the north and adjacent to Dongjun, but Jiwu is far away from Leping, so it took Chen Hu four days to rush to Dian Wei's house.
Later, Chen Xu's wanted document was sent to Chen Liu, and Chen Xu's portrait was posted everywhere, and Chen Hu was anxious.
Leaving the money from the sale of animal skins and bidding farewell to Dian Wei's wife, he rushed to Crouching Tiger Ridge in the starry night, wanting to report Dian Wei's safety and go back, but he didn't want to meet Chen Xu here.
When Chen Xu saw Chen Hu, he hurriedly got up and asked anxiously, "Is my brother's family okay with me?" Did the money from the sale of hides ever be left to them? ”
Before Chen Hu could answer, he heard Dian Wei's voice: "Haha, everything is fine, there is Lao Dalang who is worried." ”
On the way to hunting, Dian Wei met Chen Hu, and he had already learned the details of the family, and he was very happy.
He made a wide range of friends and fled after killing people, and he was even more praised by the heroes, and many people helped his wives and sons, so although the family life was not rich, it was not bad.
At this time, he happened to come in, and he was quite moved to see that Chen Xu cared so much about his family and left the money from the sale of animal skins in his home.
The three of Dian Wei are all talented and brave, and they are also ambitious and like-minded, and in addition to drinking and chatting together, they are learning martial arts, but they forget their troubles.
said that it was a competition, and it was basically Dian Wei who instructed Chen Xu and the two.
Although Chen Xu and Chen Hu are born with divine power, they are still far from Dian Wei.
In addition, Dian Wei has rich combat experience, and he does not hide his selfishness when he gives advice, so the relationship between the three of them is also a mentor and a friend.
The three of them hunted and practiced martial arts during the day, and drank and slept at night, and after a few days, the relationship between them became more intimate.
In the early morning of the third day, Chen Xu woke up Chen Hu early in the morning and said to him: "Ah Hu, don't stay here longer, go back as soon as possible to report to your parents at home, so as not to worry your uncle and aunt." ”
Although the Zhang family said that they did a lot of evil and were hated by the scholars, after all, they were Zhang Gong's relatives, and a family of three was killed, how could Zhang Gong be willing to give up?
"If there is no major event in the future, don't come, and even if you come, you must be cautious."
Before leaving, Chen Xu told Chen Hu carefully.
Although Zhang Gong's power is beyond the reach of some whips, it will not affect Chenjia Village.
But the minions of the ten permanent servants are all over the country, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will be eyeing Chenjia Village.
Although Chen Hu was extremely reluctant, he was also worried about his mother, she had just been sick and had not yet recovered, and Chen Xu had an accident again, if he was angry, it was difficult to guarantee that the old illness would not recur.
At that moment, Chen Hu said goodbye to Chen Xu and Dian Wei and rushed to Chenjia Village.
