"Well..."

Mu Qiuqiu rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw Lu Beiyou staring at the file in his hand. He said in a low voice: "what's the matter, what's the matter?"

Lu Beiyou saw mu Qiuqiu wake up, shook his head with a smile and put the file away.

"It's OK, but Ding Hong told me something happened recently."

"Oh..."

Mu Qiuqiu didn't ask much, yawned and fell on Lu Beiyou's chest again, patted his mouth and continued to take a nap.

They were going to go back to Zhongzhou, but on the way, Muqiu was sleepy again because he had just recovered.

At the sight of a carriage with a large amount of straw, Lu Beiyou took a free ride with a grazing ball.

"I don't think you are human. Why do you want to be my carriage?"

There was an old man's voice in front of the carriage. Lu Beiyou said with a smile, "what's the matter? Where does the old man see that I am not a mortal? "

"You don't know, drive!"

The old man waved the whip and smacked the horse's buttocks with a faint pride. "Old man, although I have no future in my life, my ability to see people is first-class. As the saying goes, dragon begets dragon, Phoenix begets Phoenix, and mouse's son can make holes. I can tell at a glance whether this is a kind of person. "

"Oh?"

The old man's words made Lu Beiyou interested.

"Old man, what kind of person am I?"

The old man was also happy that there was a speaker on the road. After pondering for a while, he continued: "the young master must be a rich family, but he has a pair of Danfeng eyes, but his eyebrows are falling. I think there is something wrong with him."

The old man then changed his tone, "however, the young master Ji Ren has his own way. He is certainly different from us, and will certainly get better."

"I'll borrow more from the old man."

Ha ha ha!

Along the way, I heard the laughter of an old man and a young man.

It was night, and it was getting late. The carriage came to a deep forest. Originally, the old man wanted to get to the top of the mountain before sunset, but he didn't expect that it was so dark that he had to stop by the side of the road and raise a bonfire.

Lu Beiyou took out a blanket to cover the ball, and then jumped out of the carriage to the campfire.

Seeing that the old man's face was not good-looking, Lu Beiyou was puzzled and said, "what's the matter with you, old man?"

The old man sighed and shook his head. "You don't know, young man. This mountain range is Kushan mountain range, 800 miles away from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Originally, there was a stronghold here. Although it was a bandit, it was easy to talk. As long as the money was paid, there would be no trouble. But now I don't know when the cottage was destroyed, and then it was occupied by a group of new bandits. "

"These bandits are totally unreasonable. They want money and rob people when they see them. Many people have been planted on this mountain."

Kushan mountain range?

Lu Beiyou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that at the beginning, when he was a useless man, mu Qiuqiu said he wanted to teach himself how to learn sword. He threw himself a short dagger, and then he threw himself into a mountain to practice killing.

That mountain range seems to be called the Kushan mountain range, and the owner of the Shanzhai is the sad woman.

Is it difficult to

Lu Beiyou asked, "old man, is the owner of the bandit stronghold a woman?"

The old man couldn't help but stare at the words and nodded, "how can the little boy know?"

Lu Beiyou's mouth twitches. How does he know?

Of course, he knew that, because the cottage was made by himself, and he was killed by the ball.

But I didn't expect that after I eradicated him, a new force came out again, and it was worse than before.

The old man sighed, took out a cigarette gun from his waist, took out a small handful of tobacco from his waist pocket, stuffed it in, lit it, and took a deep breath.

Then he vomited out a cloud of smoke, "young master, do you mind if I say that. It's good for people like us to be alive in this world. There are villains everywhere. If you kill them, new villains will come forward and start over again. "

The old man took another puff and knocked his cigarette on the stone. The light of the fire shone on his wrinkled face. He was old and powerless. "When is such a day going to end?"?! I don't know, old man, if I can see the peace and prosperity passed down from mouth to mouth in my lifetime. "

Lu Beiyou did not speak, picked up a dead branch from the ground and rammed it on the campfire.

"Well, old man, what do you mean by peace and prosperity?"

The old man's smoking gun stopped. After a long time, his arm fell down, and his eyes were full of hope. "In peace and prosperity, every family has food and clothing. There will be no more war, famine or plague."

"What about your family, old man? Why do you come out to sell straw at your age

"Dead, all dead."The old man shook his head, and his eyes became dim again. "There was a son at home who was forced to fight. He was in poor health. How could he do such a dead man's work? After hearing the news of her death, my old lady couldn't stand it, so she went ahead of me, and her daughter-in-law remarried with her grandson, leaving me alone. "

Lu Beiyou didn't know how to answer the question. He was also regretful that he should not bring up this topic.

"Young master, you don't have to feel guilty. I'm not far away. I've long been open to this kind of thing. Sometimes I want to leave, but someone has to look at their graves. Are they short of money? If I don't want to starve them, I'll go down and complain about how bad I feel. So, ah, I sell rice straw. If I can earn a few coppers, I burn paper for them. Sometimes I can buy two or two bottles of wine and a small bag of tobacco. I'm satisfied

Looking at the old man forced to pull out a smile, Lu Beiyou nodded slightly. All the young and the old were not talking. The light of the fire was very bright in the dark night.

Like the last light in the dark.

Sha, Sha, Sha

Lu Beiyou looks up and smiles at the old man, "old man, I'll find something to eat."

The old man trembled and wanted to stand up, but he was stopped by Lu Beiyou.

"I'll be right back."

With that, Lu Beiyou disappeared in the same place, leaving only two lines of turbid tears in his eyes.

I don't know whether I was choked or smoked by the fire.

Not far away, Lu Beiyou took a deep breath and forced his emotions down. He opened his mouth and said, "come out, don't hide."

But there was no sound around him. Lu Beiyou said with a smile, "if you don't come out, let me ask you to come out!"
