[Rat cat] The legend of Lou Xiaochong

In fact, when Zhan Zhao listened with his ears open and was about to take a break, Bai Yutang was eating snacks at the Prince's Mansion in Xiangyang.

In the Prince's Mansion of Xiangyang, everything else is not so good, and its patrol and defense are worse than that of the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.Only this cook, tsk tsk, is indeed the best in the entire Xiangzhou territory.Not to mention the deep-fried pastries that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet but not greasy, even the pickled Zhuge vegetables are plump and bright with a full aftertaste.

At this time, the lanterns were just beginning to come on, Bai Yutang was thinking about finding out the details of the King of Xiangyang, so he didn't seriously look for something to eat all day.At this time, the entire palace should have been explored almost, so he touched his belly and felt a great appetite.Stumbling into the kitchen, swept away most of the dim sum, and walked around full, Fifth Master Bai ran to eat in a dark room under the old elm tree in the backyard.

As for why this dark room?Not only he wants to eat, but also a group of children.

Seeing that no one was there, Bai Yutang quickly opened the mechanism and jumped into the secret passage, closing the gate, and the children looked over in a daze.Bai Yutang asked them to give out snacks, and there was no competition or competition for two yuan per person, just like the rules he gave out sugar cakes during New Years and festivals on Sunken Island.

After Bai Yutang finished sharing the food, he saw that the group of silly children retreated to their respective corners, burying their heads in eating quietly.

"Don't focus on eating, the two brothers said, you are... hey! I said how long has it been since you have eaten?" Bai Yutang picked out a child who looked older, and tried to ask However, the child raised his eyelids to look at him at first, and then concentrated on gnawing on the croquettes in his hand, without making a sound.

When he checked it for the first time just now, Bai Yutang paid attention to this side.This group of children, the oldest ones are no more than ten years old, and the youngest ones are about three or four years old. They will use all those who can run and jump neatly, right?He couldn't help thinking of two things.

One is that last summer, he followed Zhan Zhao and sneaked out of Xingkong Island. In order not to be chased by his brothers, he detoured to Chizhou or somewhere in a mountain valley. There was such a weird town in the mountain valley.When I went to visit this town later, I don’t know who burned it clean—in fact, it wasn’t clean either, there were always ruins and broken tiles, and there were always bones of grievances that remained.The pretended police officer even stabbed Zhan Zhao with a knife, that's all, no amount of crooked ways can suppress his righteousness.What I want to say now is that when they checked it at that time, there was not a single bone of a child in the town. Counting the number, the dozen or so large and small in front of them almost fit together.

The other one is Lou Xiaochong.Staring at these children for a while, Bai Yutang felt in a daze that he had guessed how Lou Xiaochong grew up.Look, the same naive and stupid, the same words can't understand.Well, Lou Xiaochong looked like he had the brains of a teenager when he first arrived in the empty island, but now that he is sick, he looks the same as these little fools of a few years old.The difference is that these children are practicing the eighteen weapons of swords, guns, swords and halberds, and Lou Xiaochong only learns the same mechanism map, that's all.

But on second thought, it's actually different.After all, when Lou Xiaochong was awake, he would run around like a real person looking for provocations, find food and drink by himself, throw temper tantrums, and talk silly gossips to provoke a crowd to gather around to listen... …

Bai Yutang kept fiddling with the lump of hair on the child's head, but the child ignored him and just kept eating, which was really boring.He felt like an idler who came to feed the piglets for his master's family on a whim, but where did the real swineherd go?

Taking advantage of the faint light of the fire to look around, Bai Yutang carefully counted the weapons piled up in the corner, and couldn't help but wonder: These children who have been mentally disabled by drugging or bewitching are obviously training to Murders and assassins, but there must always be a teacher, right?No matter how careless you are, what time is this, and there is no sign of the food delivery person?

Puzzled, because it was too boring here, Bai Yutang decided to go out and have a look first.

Stepping on the ladder two steps up, facing the sealed turntable, with his left hand resting on his right hand, Bai Yutang moved the stone slab that sealed the dark room into three-part seams, only a thin line.This is also the caution he has learned over the past few months. In short, he must listen first.

Hearing this, there was a lot of movement.

Crackling and clattering voices, all poured in along this thin crack, and along the way, there was also a bright fire.

Bai Yutang was taken aback, and he was sure that no one was paying attention to this side, so he dared to lift the stone slab and jump out.When you get out of the cave, quickly buckle the stone slab and paste some sand on it.Bai Yutang secretly rejoiced that he exchanged clothes with a minion today, he was inconspicuous in the dark, and people who came and went to fight the fire didn't care much about him.

As for who set the fire, there is no need to ask.Looking up at the fireworks flying all over the sky, rats, donkeys, crabs... Bai Yutang jumped onto the roof, imitating the leisurely gourmets in the rivers and lakes, and casually yelled a few words: the smoke is big in the east and the fire is high in the west. Look for his second brother—the second brother's fireworks are pretty enough, but everyone knows that his martial arts are like that, and he will definitely suffer a disadvantage if he really fights with others.

At this moment, I should be thankful that Han Erye, Han Zhang, has always been doing things behind closed doors, and the idlers in the world will not recognize him easily, so even if most people here guess who caused the fire, they still look for him. It is not clear which pile he is hiding in the crowd.

"You guys are still wandering around!" Unexpectedly, a broken voice sounded from behind, Bai Yutang gritted his teeth so as not to show anything on his face, and slowly turned his head along with the rascals around him Look, it's Erye Han, with thick beard and soot, and with his hands on his hips, he shouted: "The chief executive is going crazy! They just eat and don't do anything! When the half of the yard is burned, everyone rushes Go out and drink the northwest wind!"

Second Master Han dutifully took a few lazy men to find iron buckets and wooden basins, and sent them to search for a water well and shake the pulley, only to be dragged to a quiet place by his fifth brother when he found time. Out of the wall, escaped from the boundary of Xiangyang Prince's Mansion.

"...Second brother, what's going on with you!" Bai Yutang's tone was full of complaints. Originally, he had agreed on how many things the second brother would take care of, and it would take two days to arrive, so he should get it then. All the things were also obtained, and it happened that all the righteous men and knights would gather together and join hands to beat him up.

Han Zhang just searched his fifth younger brother's purse to find a clean silk handkerchief and pick his nostrils—the ones taught by pyrotechnics are all black ashes.He didn't care how his fifth younger brother disliked him, and raised his eyebrows after wiping himself clean: "Second brother came early, disturbing your good business?"

"What's good or bad? I don't have anything good to do right now!" Bai Yutang was in a hurry, "But I'm going to check him out now. Second brother, you burned me out with such a fire. It's not all of them. Agitated?"

Stir what.Han Zhang looked at the helpless look of his fifth brother, and threw the handkerchief he had just used into his hand: "Didn't I hear that you entered this compound at noon the first day and never came out again? Be calm." A pair of old brothers, I didn’t find you, and I thought you were in some trouble, so I made some trouble and wanted to give you an opportunity to escape..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yutang silently threw the handkerchief on the ground, squatted there and did not speak.Although the second brother did this recklessly, isn't it because Bai Wu didn't say hello to his brothers in advance?Thinking about it this way, what he said when he went out was just to find Lou Xiaochong's relatives in Xiangyang—although looking at it now, Lou Xiaochong and the Xiangyang Palace are probably really related, eh, could it be... Bai Yutang suddenly grabbed him. Han Zhangxiu: "Second brother, tell me, when was the Xiangyang Palace built? Could it be... What did Lou Xiaochong do?"

"Did you get confused after taking two puffs of cigarettes?" Han Zhang made a gesture to try Bai Yutang's forehead, but was dodged, "How old is King Xiangyang? How old is Lou Xiaochong? Do you even need to ask?"

Right.Bai Yutang lowered his head to pick up a straw stick to poke and scribble on the ground, listened to his second brother nagging and admonishing him not to visit the palace privately and so on.

"Wait, second brother!" Suddenly Bai Yutang raised his head again and asked, "Where is Lou Xiaochong now?"

According to Second Brother Han, Lou Xiaochong was brought by Fourth Brother Jiang, and they came together within two days.

But under the white light of the big moon, Lou Xiaochong was on Zhan Zhao's bed.

Zhan Zhao sent Jiang Ping away and was just about to rest, but he didn't hear any sound, but his heart suddenly moved. When he opened the window pane to look, Lou Xiaochong was standing in the courtyard, looking around anxiously.

Pulling the child into the room, before Zhan Zhao poured out a glass of water, he began to cry, without saying a complete sentence, over and over again, just wanting Zhan Zhao to save Bai Yutang quickly, and saying, "Only the ones in the front, the ones in the back." are all forgotten."But he didn't cry for a long time, he was tired and had no strength, and he didn't drink any water, so he fell asleep on Zhan Zhao's bed.

Zhan Zhao shook off the quilt to cover him, touched his chest, and jumped inexplicably.But this Lou Xiaochong has always only come out to speak at various "junctions", which is too inconceivable. It would be strange if it wasn't someone who tricked them into a trap-unless it was really the same as the script said, God open his eyes Now, I know that I have the intention to eliminate violence and protect the good, so I give a helping hand.But that kind of strange power is just a joke, who dares to really believe it.

But speaking of Bai Yutang's stay in Xiangyang, it's really hard to say what would happen if he was alone with no one to take care of him.

The bed was occupied by Lou Xiaochong, and he didn't want to work for others to take care of his own place at this moment, so Zhan Zhao moved the chair to the tea table, planning to just recline like this for the whole night.

The author has something to say:

No night or something, as expected, I still look forward to another way... that kind of tossing all night, didn't sleep well [No, no, I'm the most CJ meow, so if you make up your mind you must be thinking too much
