After returning home, Liu Jun told Yan'er about his long trip in the past two days, which naturally caused Yan'er to complain, saying that Liu Jun was meddling in other people's business. Of course, it was just a complaint, but he still prepared things for Liu Jun quickly.
Things for the road, dry food, flint, silver coins, rain cloth and the like.
Early the next morning, at the foot of the mountain, Liu Jun assigned several stewards tasks for the next few days, and then rode away with Lu Guan. However, not long after they left, Liu Jun pulled Lu Guan and hid behind the bushes. After a while, behind them,
There was the sound of rapid horse hooves on the road.
When Liu Jun saw Liu Jun, his face darkened and he stopped hiding. He stood up directly from the roadside. When the visitor saw Liu Jun, he was shocked. When he came to Liu Jun, he walked directly from the speeding man.
She jumped down immediately, Liu Jun quickly stepped forward to hug her and slapped her hard on the butt.
Lu Guan walked out from behind the bushes on the roadside with a strange expression. Liu Jun was also a little embarrassed and introduced to Lu Guan: "This is my little girl. She is ignorant and she followed her out secretly."
Lu Guan nodded: "I know, she used to be the new wife of the fourth head of the family."
These words made both of them a little embarrassed. Liu Jun secretly cursed: What you said, I am like a thief. I haven't touched it with my little finger now. Well, maybe I have touched it with my little finger.
When Liu Jun was struggling with himself, the little girl gave Lu Guan a fierce look. When she turned around, she saw Liu Jun glaring at her with a dark face. At this moment, she was wearing a smart outfit. She didn't hide her feminine features, just gouache.
Things like that made the exposed skin dark and rough. It didn't look heroic at all. Looking at this outfit, you knew she had planned it.
"Go back quickly, why are you causing trouble by following me?"
"No, I have to take care of you, young master." Yan'er used the coquettish method.
Liu Jun was completely unmoved: "We two men can just lie down on the roadside at night and fall asleep. Aren't you causing trouble?"
Lu Guan's face has begun to look wrong. Just take a casual walk on the roadside? Ask me to come out to help and provide such accommodation conditions?
"Haha, Master, you are looking down on me. I came here to escape. How do you think I have survived for so long?" The little girl turned her face and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with a fierce expression like that of a master.
Since he just met Chaixianwei's wife and her cousin yesterday, Liu Jun is now more sensitive to the word "escape" and has some strange thoughts in his mind, but now is not the time to ask this question. Judging from Yan'er's appearance, even if he is chasing her away
If he goes back, he might even follow him secretly.
Liu Jun looked at Lu Guan apologetically: "Brother Six, with this little girl, I'm afraid I'll have to find a hotel room at night. This will make the journey slower and delay me for a few more days."
Lu Guan said with a warm smile: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Liu Jun sighed: "Brother Six, the reason why I called you out this time is actually because I have gained some other insights in the Sword Scripture recently, and I wanted to tell you about it in a place where no one is outside. It seems that I may have to take the time this time.
Already."
Lu Guan's expression changed: "Actually, we don't have to stay in an inn. The weather is stuffy and hot in the inn now. It's crisp autumn weather outside and there's no dew. As long as you prepare mosquito repellent, it will be more comfortable than living in an inn.
too much."
Looking at the little girl who kept giving him winks, Lu Guan's lips twitched and he swallowed his original rejection: "We, the children of Jianghu, don't have to worry about so many red tapes. I don't think Yan'er girl will care about these either.
Yes, right."
Yan'er nodded vigorously.
Watching the two of them singing along, Liu Jun smiled bitterly: "This will bring bad reputation to Yan'er. How will she get married in the future if she has someone she likes?"
When he said the words, he received two pairs of blank stares.
The girl Yan'er cried and whined: "Master, you have treated me like this and that, and you still want to throw me out to get married. You have no conscience."
Lu Guan also looked at a scumbag.
Liu Jun was not sure if it was because his outlook on life in his previous life had not fully adapted to the current social environment, so he could only agree to go with Yan'er. But seeing her immediately turning from tears to laughter, and Lu Guan also looking satisfied, Liu Jun was deeply suspicious.
Have you been played?
Raozhou is located within the boundaries of Yangzhou in the south of Jizhou. It passes through Yanzhou and Yuzhou. It may take more than ten days to ride there. People can persist, but horses cannot. In order to ensure the physical strength of the horses, when they encounter places where they can rest on the way, three people will supplement them.
The livestock feed is guaranteed to be several kilograms per day for each horse.
On the third day, the three of them arrived in Yanzhou. Most places were relatively safe. However, the further south they went, the more they encountered the messy crop fields. Liu Jun walked around the nearby villages and found that the villagers had already found crops.
The men and women were no longer in their prime, and only a few old men who could not walk were left, leaning weakly on the door frame.
When Yan'er girl saw this scene, her tears couldn't stop flowing. The makeup on her face was a mess, black and red, and she didn't even need to dress up now.
Liu Jun divided the steamed buns he bought for dry food with the old people and left the village on horseback.
That's all he could do. There was no expression on his face anymore, and he would go around the village when he encountered such a village. However, his deceptive behavior did not stop him when he was besieged by a group of more than a hundred refugees.
It can no longer be maintained at Wubao.
Wubao is just a stone wall, more than two meters high, and you can climb over it with a ladder. But apparently, there are people in Wubao poking at the wall with sharpened bamboo poles. Climbing over the wall is basically ineffective.
Those who passed by were quickly beaten to death by the people inside.
The main attack point is at the gate. A dozen refugees are holding a log and constantly rushing against the gate. Judging from the angle at which the door is opened at the moment, the door bar inside has been broken long ago. Even if something is blocked inside, it can't hold much anymore.
It's time.
"Stop!" With a sharp shout, Liu Junce immediately stepped forward and rushed straight to the gate. When most people saw the galloping horse, they all gave way. However, a few of the more energetic ones held the bamboo poles under their armpits and sharpened the bamboo poles in their hands.
The other end of the hand was facing Liu Jun, who was running over. Liu Jun stretched out his hand and held the bamboo pole in his palm. The strong tremor passed through. The man's body was shaken, and his body became numb eight times. He could no longer hold the bamboo pole.
With a weapon in his hand, and with the blessing of strength, the two-meter-long bamboo pole turned into a storm in his hand, knocking, pointing, blocking, sweeping, and hitting the bodies of people within the attack range. The refugees were knocked away one after another.
.
When they reacted, they found that their bodies were not injured. When they went to see Liu Jun, they found that he had already cleared out the people near the gate. But at this moment, people no longer had the desire to continue attacking. Seeing Liu Jun glance over,
Everyone retreated further.
Liu Jun gasped and looked at the tattered clothes, skinny bodies, and cloudy red eyes of the refugees in front of him. What could he do?
"Back up, fifty steps." Liu Jun said hoarsely, "My name is Liu Jun. I have a piece of property in Jizhou in the north. Although it is not big, it should be able to find a way for everyone to survive. Now, I will find some for everyone first.
Eat, trust me."
Someone in the crowd shouted: "We can still eat if we break the Wubao." Someone also echoed, but under Liu Jun's eyes, his voice gradually disappeared.
Liu Jun pointed at Wubao behind him: "I'm not protecting them. As for those greedy landlords, I also wish I could kill them. But there are also countless farmers and ignorant children like you.
There are innocent women and children. If you want to eat, they also need to eat to stay alive."
Everyone looked at each other, looking at the helpless and slightly pleading look on Liu Jun's face. Some people thought that they had been knocked away just now, but they were not injured. After a while, some people lowered their heads and slowly moved back.
After the first one, some people looked around and followed behind. After a while, there were only a few diehards left. After seeing that no one was around them, they lowered their heads and infiltrated into the crowd.
Liu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked to the door of Wubao. He looked at the crack in the door that was now open, and there were many eyes looking at him inside.
"I don't know if the owner of the village is here or not. I think everyone has seen what happened today. If I don't come, your door will be broken open in less than half an hour. It is normal for people to die by then. Don't talk to
If I say that I would rather die than surrender, the ones who are risking their lives are the servants and tenant farmers below."
Liu Jun breathed a sigh of relief: "There are more than a hundred people outside. Each person has five kilograms of food. I'll buy it with my money. I have to go on my way, so I don't have much time for you to think."
There were noisy footsteps inside the door. Someone went to report a message to the master's house. After a while, an old voice sounded inside the door.
"I can give you food, but can you guarantee that they will not continue to attack Wubao after eating the food and gaining strength?"
Liu Jun looked back and saw that someone seemed to have heard what was being said, and there was a commotion in the crowd.
Liu Jun raised his voice: "I am now in Qingsong Mountain. Of course, there was another name called the Red Scarf Bandit in the past. I have traveled more than 2,000 miles to Yangzhou to avenge my brother. I will pass by here when I come back. If I
If I find that there is something wrong with Zhuangzi, then I will pursue these people all over the world and kill them all."
A young voice sounded: "We will all be dead by then, so what's the use of killing them."
"They won't take action. If they really want to kill everyone, I'm afraid they themselves will have to die almost to death." Someone inside the door explained.
Seeing a few bags of food falling from the wall, the refugees swarmed up. It seemed like there was going to be a commotion. Some people looked at the three people watching on horseback and calmed down. Although the scene was crowded, there was a sense of self-generation.
According to the order, the strong people take it first, maybe a little more, and the weak people take it last, which is not too much.
When everyone had finished taking it, there was still half a bag left. Everyone was staring at the half bag of food. Liu Jun's eyes wandered among the crowd, and finally fell on a strong man with his wife behind him.
Son.
Liu Jun waved to him, and the man walked out with everyone's envious eyes on him.
"You will lead this team from now on. Although you are the leader, the work is not easy. It takes about 10 days to walk from here to Qingsong Mountain. You are all people who are used to hardship. Five kilograms of grain, plus the food collected on the road.
Other things should be able to persist to the place. Your job is to suppress those thorns, protect the old and the weak, and try to ensure that everyone can get to the place alive. After all, it is not easy to have hope, but fall on the way to hope.
It’s so worthless.”
At the end of the speech, Liu Jun's eyes were calm and his voice was very gentle, with some kind of expectation.
[Author's digression]: Raozhou is a fictional place name in the work. Today I searched and found that there is also a Raozhou in Jiangxi, located in the Poyang Lake area. It was classified as Yangzhou from the capital of the Han Dynasty. If the protagonist is asked to start from
From Shanxi to Jiangxi, it is more than 1,000 kilometers. If you ride a horse for 150 kilometers a day, it basically coincides with the trip time of the third master, so let’s decide like this.
