starling is not a bird

After all, Fang Xiaoliu was a person who had traveled all over the world and rolled around on the ground floor. Seeing the curious eyes of the neighbors around him, he hurriedly took his uncle's arm and walked home: "Uncle, did you get scared on the road? It's okay, it's okay, come and sit at my house." Sit down, drink a bowl of hot tea and keep it safe, my mother missed you a while ago, why didn't you come to the house recently? I hope you will come back!"

Uncle was dragged by Fang Xiaoliu to sit at home behind closed doors, pouring a large bowl of tea into two bowls before wiping his mouth with his sleeve, and said to Xiaoliu, "Xiaoliu, thanks to the blessing of our ancestors! Otherwise you You won't see me anymore!"

Xiao Liu nervously looked outside, um, there was no one: "Uncle, what's going on? Aren't you hiding in the mountains? Where are those people? Why didn't you come back with you?"

Uncle patted his thigh: "It's terrible? We hid well in the mountains. There are mushrooms and wild vegetables there. We buy some game from time to time. It's okay, but there is no oil and salt, and the clear soup is too watery to eat. I'm all swollen, I was sleeping yesterday, but I woke up in the middle of the night with a stomachache, I just squatted down, and I heard a few boys from the Zhao family talking."

Fang Xiaoliu's heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed dryly: "What bad idea are they planning?"

Uncle lowered his voice: "Isn't it? Their family is used to being aggressive. They said they planned to ambush on the mountain road and set fire to grab government food!"

Fang Xiaoliu stood up abruptly, his eyes were wider than copper bells, he opened his mouth and closed it after a long time, then sat down again, tremblingly picked up the gourd on the wall, scooped a spoonful of cold water and drank it Go down: "Uncle, aren't they telling the truth?"

Uncle shrugged his shoulders: "Whether what they say is true or not, I don't want to get into this muddy water. If it doesn't work, I'll die. I want to see Xiao Liu marry a wife! I won't mess around with them. I pulled up my trousers and ran back. I ran all day and night before I came back, but I was exhausted. Is there still a stutter at home? I’m so hungry!"

Fang Xiaoliu hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, wild vegetable stick buns are okay? It's just a few mouthfuls of pickles, don't be disgusted!"

Uncle shook his head: "What do you dislike, it would be nice to have a stutter, Xiao Liu, bring it quickly!"

Seeing his uncle chewing on the case, Fang Xiaoliu felt a little more at ease. Sitting opposite his uncle, Xiaoliu yawned: "Uncle, it's getting late, why don't you squeeze me in? Wait until tomorrow." You spread the bedding!"

The grain team lost their way and drove dully on the shortcut. This shortcut crossed the mountains and ridges, and it was not easy to walk. Although there was sunshine in the mountains, the humidity and cooling in the air lingered. Originally, the two counties Wang Jie was riding on the horse, but the high and low branches came out to make trouble from time to time, so the two had to get into the carriage separately.

Dingjun Wang silently let his carriage fall behind the team, and beckoned to call Kui Xu Kui Fang over, and asked about last night's situation carefully through the curtain.

The left is just Qingfu Canada, the emperor's mother's family looked at the son of the courtier's family who lost power, how could they have a good voice?Dingjun Wang Haosheng said a few words of comfort before letting them go to work: "Haosheng is on business, you are people who follow this king, the Lord will naturally take care of you, be careful, but don't let people bully you King Sujun is the elder brother, Qingfu is just a slave, why should you be afraid of him?"

Since Kui Xu Kui Fang was demoted in the Meiji era, he has experienced a lot of cold and warm, and his temper has become much more cautious than before. At this moment, when he got the words of King Ding, although his heart was warm, he just bowed immediately. , There is no other words in the mouth except Xie En.

Prince Ding didn't say much, he put down the curtain and closed his eyes to rest his mind. The mountain road is very bumpy, it's not as comfortable as riding a horse, but the branches that hit his face are too annoying, and there are those dripping dew.

The bandits ambushing on the official road waited and waited, but they didn't find the food team. The elder brother in the lead was anxious: "It's a good way to get out of Fucheng, why haven't they come here yet? Could it be that they changed the route?"

One person shook his head and said, "Impossible, this is the only way to get out of the city. Is it possible that you still expect those imperial envoys to go over the mountains? You said you left the city early in the morning, let's wait!"

"We can wait, but we can't climb the traps! It's going to rain at night, and the mud and rocks on the mountain will flow down. Aren't those traps useless? We only have hatchets and sickles in our hands. What are we going to use to fight the army?" "

Everyone was silent, and a little man said timidly: "Why don't we send a few people to check the situation along the way? If the food team really takes a detour, let's not waste time here, mosquito It hurts to bite!"

The elder brother smiled: "Gougeng, you are right, you take a few boys to have a look, go and come back quickly! No, let's go back and wait for the county master to give the porridge!"

The dog who was called Gou Zong grinned in embarrassment: "Brother, he has a big name, don't call me Gou Zong, how ugly it is!"

The elder brother stared at him: "A cheap name is easy to support, you know? Brother, I love you so much!"

Gou Sheng rolled his eyes, twisted his body and walked away, his trousers were torn with several holes, and they swayed with his movements, looking quite funny.

The children in the mountains are agile, walking on the mountain roads they are used to, swishing so fast, and they don’t care about picking the fruits from the branches. They just want to find out the news quickly so that they can prove it in front of others. He was no longer a child, and with such a wish, Gou Sheng's footsteps became more and more brisk.

Turning over a small hill, Gou Sheng saw the team by the river bank, his eyes lit up with surprise, he looked back at the children who came with him, and said happily: "Look, there is plenty of food there, let's go back and report the news." !"

The children who came together were also very happy: "Brother Gousheng, you are really good!"

He raised his foot and walked a few steps when Gou Sheng stopped: "Why don't you go back first, I'll watch here, if they move, someone has to watch! Otherwise, wait until you go and come again Come on, what should they do if they leave? You can’t let the elder brother rush to nothing!”

The children didn't have any ideas, they just felt that Gousheng was more considerate than themselves, so they nodded: "That's fine, Brother Gousheng, just stay here and watch them, we'll go back right away!"

The long grain team stopped at the bank of the river. Looking at the full grain parcels, Gou Sheng swallowed involuntarily. The last time he tasted white rice was a few years ago when the eldest brother picked up his wife. Give yourself a big gulp.

The aroma of white rice is even more fragrant than cornmeal, it makes you greedy when you smell it, and it tastes sweet in your mouth.

Looking at the slightly shimmering river, King Su frowned: "The boat at this ferry is so small, how can I transport the car?"

King Dingjun also got out of the carriage, stood on the bank of the river, squatted down, picked up a quick stone and threw it into the river, and with a light sound, the shadow disappeared: "The river is still a little deep, otherwise it would not take time to wade directly across it." .”

Kui Xu rushed forward and said, "There must be civilian ships near here, why don't you go to the surrounding area and ask, but give a few taels of silver, and the ships will come quickly."

Dingjun Wang looked at Kui Fang with satisfaction: "You are talking about this reason, ride a horse and bring more money, it is not easy for fellow villagers."

The chief behind him hurriedly took out a bag of loose silver and handed it over, Kui Xu took it, saluted Sujun King, grabbed the horse's belly and left.

Not long after, a few small boats rowed across the river, King Su said with a smile, "It's like ants moving house, but it's a grind!"

King Dingjun also smiled: "Isn't this just a coincidence? Although slow down, at least we will be on the main road later. If we drive more tonight, I'm afraid it will be soon. When we enter Sichuan tomorrow, we can't hurry Well, the soldiers are all from the capital, and there is nothing like flat ground, and they will easily fall down when they are tired."

The two county kings, Shi Shiran, stood on the bank of the river, watching the boats shuttle on the river one by one, coming and going like weaving, and the grain carts being transported by one by one, which was quite efficient.

The wind blowing on the river was a bit fishy, ​​and the birds on both sides of the bank were also screaming and deserted. Prince Ding wrapped his cloak and squinted his eyes to count the time in his heart. King Su looked at the mountains along the bank, feeling a little overwhelmed Overwhelming clouds pressed on the top of the mountain, birds flew by, and even the green trees on the mountain looked a little sluggish.

Faintly, some dull sounds sounded, the tails of the horses swept left and right, the sound became louder and louder, and the horses began to dig the soil anxiously.

The rumbling sound was like thunder. Following the sound, smoke and dust floated up on the top of the mountain. If you look closely, it turned out to be falling rocks!

The guards hurriedly dragged the carriage to dodge around, Dingjun Wang shouted at Sujun Wang: "Brother, hurry up and dodge, there are falling rocks!"

King Su Jun nodded, pulled up the bridle and walked to the side, but the stones on the mountain had already rolled down, carrying gravel, floating soil and trees brought down by the sweep.

King Sujun walked a little farther, avoiding a falling tree, but the horse's leg was still swept by the branch. The painful horse was unsteady, retreated several steps, and finally couldn't stand still. Sujun Wang actually fell into the water!

The dog left on the top of the mountain, panting heavily, said to the people who rushed up: "You are really slow. Fortunately, my brain is quick. You see, the people below have been scattered by me. It is not a good time to go for a bargain now." Otherwise, we will have nothing to do when they cross the river!"
