Farmhouse strong man

After the woman brought Yuan Liuzhen into the yard, she didn't let Yuan Liuzhen into the house, but let Yuan Liuzhen sit on the dusty stone bench in the yard. Yuan Liuzhen didn't care at all, and sat directly on the dusty stone bench. Yuan Liuzhen sat down, and also sat on a wooden bench not far from Yuan Liuzhen and asked Yuan Liuzhen, "Did you come out in a hurry because your brother hasn't returned for a few days?"

"Yes." Yuan Liuzhen nodded and said eagerly, "Do you know where my brother is now?"

"Yeah." The woman nodded, and answered with a very bad expression, "Last year your brother came to our place and traded prey for salt with the village people, and he came here to exchange salt a few days ago, but you also see Now that Dongzhou has fallen, almost all the men in our village have been captured by the army of Lishui Kingdom and Xizhou King. Last winter was long, and the remaining food was eaten up, and the salt was gone. Your brother gave me some meat, thinking Let me take him to a nearby village to exchange salt, and I will take your brother to the largest village here to exchange salt. The people in that village are much better than ours, and the war seems to have not affected the people in that village at all. , Yan, and the men were not arrested either. It’s just that when I took your brother to the village, I met a group of officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers saw your brother and immediately arrested me and drove me out of the village.”

When the woman said this, her face became terrified, full of fear for the officers and soldiers.

When Yuan Liuzhen heard that Dongzhou had fallen, his expression became ugly, and he hurriedly asked, "When did Dongzhou fall?"

"Last year when it snowed heavily in winter." The woman replied: "Last year when your elder brother came here to exchange salt, there was only a war in Dongzhou. Everyone took surplus food and valuables and hid in the mountains, but they didn't expect the heavy snow in winter." At that time, the officials at the gate of Dongzhou City rebelled and opened the city gate late at night, causing the city gate to miss. The troops of Lishui Kingdom and the King of Xizhou directly entered Dongzhou City, and the King of Dongzhou was killed. If you are captured, you will be killed, and we are close to Dongzhou City, so we are naturally not immune. We were also found out when we were hiding in the mountains. Almost all the men in the village were captured. Now life and death are uncertain. We have valuable things in our hands. The food was also looted, and some people in the village resisted, and they were either beaten, injured or killed, and there was no way for them to resist.” The woman trembled when she said this.

"Why did those officers and soldiers arrest my brother, do you know?" Yuan Liuzhen became even more worried after hearing this. He didn't expect that the fall of Dongzhou was caused by the rebellion of the city gate officials. If it was really the city gate officials who rebelled, then the city gate officials Could it be Fan Tian?Fan Tian colluded with the King of Xizhou or Lishui Kingdom, leading to the fall of Dongzhou?

"I don't know." The woman shook her head and said, "Dongzhou has been lost in winter, and now Dongzhou has been occupied by the King of Xizhou and Lishui Kingdom. The arrest is probably to attack Yongzhou."

Hearing what the woman said, Yuan Liuzhen thanked the woman for telling him everything, asked the village where Tao Fu was arrested, and left.

When he left here, he also left a few pieces of meat for the woman.

The woman's eyes were full of gratitude when she saw him leave the meat behind.

Yuan Liuzhen ran away as soon as he left the village. He believed that the woman went to the big village with Tao Fu to exchange salt. Tao Fu was arrested, but he did not believe that Tao Fu was arrested and the woman was released back to the village safe and sound. .

He felt that this was a bit strange, so he started to run as soon as he left the village.

Fortunately, his reaction speed was fast enough, his body was tall enough, and he ran fast enough. It would take time for the person staring at the woman to notify the news. He didn't go directly to the village the woman mentioned, but took a detour and went to the village where he had been before. And the relatively shallow cave where Yuan Liufeng hid.

Maybe he was lucky, when the group of officers and soldiers caught up, he happened to avoid the arrest of the group of officers and soldiers.

It was also because of this that he didn't dare to go to any villages anymore, but after hiding in the cave for a day, he asked A'Ban to lead him in the direction of Tao Fu.

He walked around the inaccessible mountains for almost two days before stopping, but there was very little surplus food left on his back, and he tried to eat as little as possible every day, and he was afraid that it might take him several days to go back.

Two days later, he was taken by Ah'Ban to a remote forest. The forest was densely wooded, almost all evergreen trees, and it was easy to hide his figure.

A'Ban flew to this place and stopped. Yuan Liuzhen knew that Tao Fu was probably in this forest, so she hid early.

At night, when he saw the fire light a little further away, he knew that it might be the place where officers and soldiers were stationed.

He didn't approach right away, but observed from a distance for a while before getting closer little by little.

At midnight, when the light of the fire weakened a little, he approached the officers and soldiers. To his surprise, there were not many officers and soldiers near the fire, only four of them, two of whom were resting in the open tent, and the other two were beside the fire. , a little drowsy, and Tao Fu was held in the prison car behind the tent.

Yuan Liuzhen looked in the direction of Tao Fu, and immediately saw that Tao Fu was bound hand and foot and locked in the prison car. Tao Fu was in a very bad state of mind, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time, and was so weak that he could only lean on the prison car.

Seeing Tao Fu like this, Yuan Liuzhen felt a pain in his heart. He didn't bring a sword, and he didn't know how to save Tao Fu. However, he felt that Tao Fu was so strong, and there was nothing he could do with the wooden prison cart and the ropes. Binding Tao Fu is the only way, so Tao Fu will be drugged like this?He was very puzzled.

Before he was puzzled for a long time, the officers and soldiers sitting by the fire suddenly woke up, yawned, poked the fire, and the fire became brighter. He was startled and immediately hid.

The officer who woke up pushed the officer who fell asleep beside him and said, "Don't sleep, it won't be good until General Fan comes back later."

After the man woke up, he cursed, "Really. I don't know who this person is. General Fan personally arrested him and let us guard him."

Another officer and soldier looked back at the officer and soldier who was sleeping in the tent, and whispered to the officer and soldier: "I know this, I have followed General Fan for a long time, this person was wanted by General Fan a year ago, but unfortunately he has never been caught , I didn’t expect General Fan to meet this person when he returned to his hometown for worship. I remember that there were two people wanted at the time. When this person was arrested, General Fan increased his force to search around, and took many people away suddenly a few days ago. Let the few of us keep an eye on this person, it should be because we got the news to catch another person."

"Then did this person commit some serious crime? Why should he be arrested?"

"I don't know. Last year, there was a war in Xizhou. I heard that this person escaped from Xizhou. I don't know the specific felony. However, I know one thing. I don't know if it has anything to do with it. I told you , don't tell anyone."

The officer and soldier said to another officer and soldier in an even smaller voice: "You also know that I used to be General Fan's entourage, and I know a little about General Fan's affairs. I received Dongzhou and lived in Fan's mansion, but the old lady of the Fan family disappeared shortly after she came to Dongzhou. Not long after the old lady of the Fan family passed away, General Fan began to track down the whereabouts of those two people. I have seen the people on the wanted list I have some impressions on the portraits, and I remember it so deeply because even though it has been a year, General Fan still has not withdrawn the arrest of the two. I am not sure whether the arrest of the two by General Fan is related to the old lady of the Fan family... "

Before the officer and soldier finished speaking, Yuan Liuzhen heard an "ah" from another officer and soldier, and then fell silent. He peeked out of the shadows and saw Tao Fu, who was still in prison just now, appeared at some time. After getting behind the officer and soldier, the officer and soldier was knocked out instantly, and after the other officer made a sound of "ah", he was knocked out by Tao Fu's arm to the neck, and the two people in the tent heard He picked up the knife and slashed directly at Tao Fu. Tao Fu swung his fist, hitting one person directly on the other.Tao Fu walked over quickly and knocked the two of them out. After making sure that everyone had passed out, he tied them to a tree with a rope and stuffed his mouth with a cloth before walking towards Yuan Liuzhen. Yuan Liuzhen blinked In the blink of an eye, everything happened so quickly that he didn't have time to help. Tao Fu didn't look weak at all when he knocked out the four people just now.

After Tao Fu came to him, he said directly without saying anything, "Let's get out of here quickly."

After Tao Fu finished speaking, he dragged Yuan Liuzhen into the depths of the forest.

Knowing that the situation was dangerous, Yuan Liuzhen quickly followed Tao Fu to leave here, and A'Ban followed the two of them.

The two hardly stopped for a moment. After driving for a day and a night and took a shortcut, they returned to the cave. After returning to the cave, Tao Fu blocked the entrance of the cave, and then took Yuan Liuzhen back to the courtyard where they usually lived.

After driving for a day and a night, they didn't have any rest, and they endured it even when they were tired and thirsty.

After returning to the courtyard, the two had a good meal, and they didn't even care about Yuan Liufeng's anxious questioning.

After Tao Fu finished eating, he said to Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng, "We need to get out of here, take a good rest tonight, recharge your energy, and leave tomorrow morning."

Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu haven't slept well in the past few days, it's not suitable for them to leave immediately, they can only leave tomorrow.

Yuan Liuzhen asked Tao Fu, "Is what the officers and soldiers said before true? Fan Tian arrested us because of Ayepo's death? But what does Ayepo's death have to do with us?"

Tao Fu sighed and replied: "I don't know either. Maybe it's because people in the village know about Fan Zhu'er. Ayepo is depressed, right? No matter what the reason is, it is a fact that Fan Tian wants to arrest us. Now we live nearby, and Fan God knows for sure, as long as we search carefully, we will definitely find this place, we'd better leave as soon as possible."

They didn't dare to delay, so they could only pack up their things quickly, put everything they couldn't take away in a hidden place in the cave, and pack up what they could bring before going to rest quickly.

Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu lay down and glanced at Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian who were sleeping on the small bed, feeling completely unreal.

They have lived well for more than a year, and now they have to flee again, as if their life for more than a year is a dream.

Before going to bed, Tao Fu also comforted Yuan Liuzhen and told Yuan Liuzhen not to think too much, and told Yuan Liuzhen.There is a big village near here, the village where the woman took Tao Fu to exchange salt. It should be the hometown of Ayepo. Tao Fu heard that the people in the village spoke like Ayepo. The woman took Tao Fu to exchange salt and met Fan. The officers and soldiers of Tiandai were purely accidental. When Fan Tian came back to pay respects to Ayepo, he bumped into Tao Fu, and Tao Fu was arrested.

When he was first arrested, Tao Fu also wanted to resist and leave, but there were too many officers and soldiers, he was afraid that he would resist, Fan Tian would recruit more officers and soldiers, he couldn't handle it, and Yuan Liuzhen would be implicated, so he had to find an opportunity to leave.It's just that Fan Tian's behavior after he was arrested was very strange. That day he was brought into the village by a woman. The officers and soldiers surrounded him the first time he saw him. He didn't resist, and Fan Tian had his hands and feet tied up.After Fan Tian caught him, he asked officers and soldiers to search nearby for several days. After the search was fruitless, Fan Tian dragged him away in a prison car.

It was only after taking him to the forest that Fan Tian might have gotten news and found Yuan Liuzhen, so he took many officers and soldiers away, leaving only four people to guard him.

He thought this was an opportunity, and planned to escape at night while the four guards were guarding him, but he didn't expect Yuan Liuzhen to appear in the forest before he escaped. The line of sight, he is very familiar with, also can feel.

Before A'Ban approached him when no one was paying attention, he asked A'Ban to take away the rags on his sleeves. He intended to let A'Ban tell Yuan Liuzhen and make Yuan Liuzhen pay attention to the danger. Unexpectedly, Yuan Liuzhen came to find him.

In order to prevent Yuan Liuzhen from being in danger, he left the prison while the two officers and soldiers were talking, and tied up the four of them before leaving with Yuan Liuzhen.

He felt that Fan Tian's behavior was strange because after Fan Tian arrested him, he never interrogated him for anything. Except that he was not given food every day, and he was only given water to keep him alive, he did not force a confession. The solution is that sometimes Fan Tian will come to see him alone, and every time he sees him, he doesn't say anything, just looks at him for a while before leaving.

Apart from the memories of practicing sword together when they were young, he and Fan Tian have nothing else.Since Fan Dan's death, Fan Tian was sent away, and he didn't know why he became the gate official of Dongzhou City.When they were young, they had a good relationship, but now they have different positions, and because of Ayepo, he didn't cling to or say anything to Fan Tian.

Now the soldiers are all called General Fan Tian, ​​so he learned from the woman that the city gate official rebelled and Dongzhou fell, and the rebellious city gate official must be Fan Tian.Fan Tian paid homage to Aye Po in that village, he still heard what the officers and soldiers accompanying him said on the way.

Now Dongzhou is not what it used to be. Dongzhou King was killed, Xizhou King and Lishui Kingdom occupied Dongzhou, and Fan Tiangui was the general. If it is easy to catch him and Yuan Liuzhen, they must find a way to leave as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he was very worried. Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian were still young, and it was very inconvenient to travel long distances, but there was nothing they could do now.

He can only recharge his energy now, and leave here as soon as possible tomorrow morning with Yuan Liuzhen, Yuan Liufeng and Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian.

After Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu, and Yuan Liufeng woke up, they quickly left the cave with their valuables, personal belongings, and a lot of food.

When they left, they did not forget to block the entrance of the cave.

Tao Fu glanced at the blocked entrance of the cave, sighed a long time, carried a lot of things on his back, hugged Xiaoqian in one hand, and left their life together with Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng who were holding Xiaoqing for more than a year. A'Ban, Axia and a few cubs followed behind them.

The goats, hares, pheasants, wild boars and other animals they kept in captivity had been released into the forest when they left. The wine, some food and furniture they couldn’t take away were kept in a hidden place or disposed of directly.

For them, every day living in this cave is so warm, peaceful and beautiful.

Especially for Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu, they got married here and took care of Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian together. There were so many good memories that made them sad, but they had to leave here.

Fan Tian led the officers and soldiers to search for Yuan Liuzhen, but he couldn't find it for several days, so he had to send more officers and soldiers over. He was going to search all the nearby places. After he arranged for the officers and soldiers to search, he returned to let people guard him. When Tao Fu was in the forest, he found that the four officers and soldiers guarding Tao Fu in the forest were tied to a tree and their mouths were gagged, so they could not shout.

He asked one of the people who was tied up to inquire about the situation, and learned that Tao Fu broke free from the prison and tied them up. He saw the prison that was forcibly dismantled, and some blood surged up. He took out the sword and stabbed the four of them to death one by one.After stabbing the four people to death, he sat on the side silently, and wiped the blood-stained sword carefully with a clean cloth towel. He wiped the sword very gently, as if treating a treasure. Stop what you're doing.The generals and officers and soldiers who were following at the side did not dare to take a breath. They were all frightened. This was the first time they saw General Fan so angry that he directly killed someone.

After Fan Tian wiped the sword clean, he wrapped the sword with a cloth, and said to the general standing aside: "Search carefully within a hundred li radius, and don't let go of any place. You must find these two swords. people."

Fan Tian clicked on the wanted arrest issued a year ago and said: "They should live near here, and they must be found within five days, or you will be punished yourself."

After Fan Tian finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and returned to the tent. After returning to the tent, he fell asleep with the sword on his head because he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days.

Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu, and Yuan Liufeng took Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian without daring to waste time. They rushed towards the ferry. During the rest, they made milk powder or something for Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian. Most of the time, they They are all on the road, and they will not rest unless they are extremely tired.

They left in the opposite direction to the direction Tao Fu was bound to Dongzhou City. In order to avoid the officers and soldiers from catching up, they walked very fast.

Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu had good physical strength, so it was better to go on the road, but Yuan Liufeng persisted. Even though he was very tired and his feet were bleeding, he still followed Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu on the road.

They didn't dare to pass any villages, and they didn't take any official roads. They took relatively hidden roads and sometimes encountered hungry wild animals. With Tao Fu around, they didn't encounter any danger.

After a day's journey, they also found a very secret place at night, they dared not light a fire, so they could only rest quietly and recharge their batteries.

Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian are more than one year old now, they are very well-behaved, they don't make trouble most of the time, and they will sleep quietly in their arms when they are on the road.

In the evening, they would teach the two children how to walk and talk, all very quietly.

They rushed for a few days, and quickly hid when encountering officers, soldiers and crowds who were searching.The three of them also disguised themselves. Yuan Liuzhen also used the makeup skills of some modern anchors to modify the faces of the three of them with the tools available at hand. His own shape is also very scribbled, and he cannot be easily recognized.

After a few days passed, they didn't feel relieved, they kept on driving fast, and they didn't relax a lot until they were approaching the ferry.

They definitely can't stay in Dongzhou now, they have to go to Yongzhou. If they go to Yongzhou, they have to take a ferry to Yongzhou. Now Dongzhou is occupied by Lishui Kingdom and Xizhou King. It is very difficult to go to Yongzhou. They can only go to the vicinity of the ferry first. , Looking for an opportunity to ferry to Yongzhou.

They found a cave to live in on a rocky mountain near the ferry, where there were almost no plants or animals.

The entrance of the cave was built by Tao Fu with huge stones, and it was covered up. From a distance, it was impossible to see that it was a cave. After they lived in the cave, they felt a little more at ease but did not dare to take it lightly. There is no water source for the plants, and ordinary people would not come here, even if officers and soldiers came to search, they would not look through every stone.Tao Fu would fetch a lot of water from a distant place every night, and they could use it for a few days even if they saved water.Apart from boiling hot water for milk powder for Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, they did not dare to light a fire to cook, and all they ate were dry food made in the cave before.

These dry foods include dried meat, dried fruit, etc., which were all carried by Tao Fu. Tao Fu carried a lot of strength, and they ate a lot along the way, and the leftover food was enough for them to eat for several months.Among all the food they brought, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu brought a lot of milk powder, because Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian wanted to eat milk powder, they brought all the milk powder they made, enough for Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian to eat for several months .These milk powders, Yuan Liuzhen, are well preserved in bamboo tubes, and have been treated to prevent moisture and insects. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in eating them for a few months.

After they lived in the cave on the mountain, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu discussed it. They knew that although their appearance was covered up, it was difficult for others to find out that they were wanted people. Therefore, the two of them could not go out easily if they were not sure about their safety. To find out how to get to Yongzhou by ferry, I had to leave the whole task to Yuan Liufeng.

Yuan Liufeng was not wanted, so if he pretended to go out and meet officers and soldiers, he would be fine. It's just that Yuan Liufeng didn't know martial arts, so they were worried about letting Yuan Liufeng go out alone.

Yuan Liufeng saw that Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu were worried, and said with a smile: "Zhenzhen and Fu don't have to worry, this place is remote, and I came here recently, and I don't think this place has been conscripted, and besides, young and middle-aged men are generally shorter here. , I am not physically strong, and I have not been compulsorily recruited now, so I should be fine when I go out, if something happens, I will ask Ah’Ban to bring you news.”

Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu glanced at each other, knowing that they were likely to be suspected by the officers and soldiers sent by Fan Tian because of their size and appearance, so they agreed to let Yuan Liufeng go out alone to find out the news.
