"Okay, okay! Stop talking about tea leaves! Hurry up and tell me what the man you met by the river said. Why did the water recede so suddenly?"
The other old men under the willow tree were obviously accustomed to the mutual discord between these two old enemies!
Seeing that the two of them were about to brag and stare at the cow again, they all started to urge them impatiently.
"snort!"
When Old Man Li saw everyone trying to persuade him, he just gave up. After snorting coldly, he continued to drawl his voice mysteriously: "Do you know... Xiao Hou?"
"Xiao Hou?" Several other old men frowned when they heard this. After a while, one of them asked tentatively: "Which Xiao Hou is it?"
"Which one else? How many Xiaohou are there in our Tang Dynasty!"
When Old Man Li saw this, he stared, pointed at the location of Luoyang City, and whispered: "Besides that person, who else can there be?"
"That one!" When the old men heard this, they immediately took a breath of cold air: "Hiss... you are talking about the one who used the divine thunder under Luoyang City to block Wang Shichong's 100,000 troops from leaving the city? Could it be that this time?
Too……"
"Nonsense! Didn't you also hear the thunder and thunder on the ground a few days ago? When I said it was thunder, someone said that there was something wrong with the old man's ears. Hehe, I don't know who had donkey hair stuffed in his ears!
"
Old Man Li proudly showed off his exclusive information, especially at the end, he glanced at Old Man Liu opposite him, his eyes full of provocation.
"You..." Old Man Liu, who was already holding his breath, was stimulated by this provocative look and became furious. He was about to jump up, but was dragged down again by others.
"You mean, that drought and thunder was caused by Xiao Hou again?" He hurriedly grabbed Old Man Liu to prevent him from interrupting Old Man Li. The other old men quickly took the opportunity to ask.
"Nonsense!" Old Man Li rolled his eyes and stretched out his arms to gesture in the air: "Or do you think that the ice wall can kindly open a gap on its own! Don't forget, the wall is so thick! Even a big ship can hit it.
Nothing happened!"
"That's right! It sounds like this! But why haven't we heard of this?"
"This... this is not the noble and upright Xiaohou! He doesn't care about these false reputations at all! But I heard what the nephew said! After doing all this, he left in a hurry! There were so many people on the shore at that time, and there was no one there.
People saw where they went! Even he just saw a steaming cloud!"
"Hiss... so powerful? Look, this is the real immortal! Much more powerful than the monks in the temple on the mountain!"
"Bah! You are really good at comparing things. Those fat monks are all obsessed with money! It costs money to burn incense, to worship Buddha, and even to recite sutras! They still call it worshiping gods.
Buddha? He is clearly using the name of gods and Buddhas to defraud money!"
"Yes, yes! I heard that there was a flood this time. I counted them running as fast as they could, even leaving the temple behind! I didn't know their temple was so high, so what are they afraid of!"
"What are you afraid of? You're afraid that you won't be able to make money! If there is no Xiaohou, once the flood passes, even if their mountains are not flooded, they will become a lonely island. Do you want those monks to stay on the island and fish every day?"
These people at the entrance of the village are all elderly. Once the conversation starts, they can't stop the car!
And just when a few people were chatting with each other, no one noticed that on the road in the distance, there was a large team slowly walking towards here.
——————————————
"Master, is Fatty really okay? Why do I think he has a severe fever?"
On a carriage in the team, Xiao Han opened the curtain and looked back, then sighed and asked Old Man Hua who was in the carriage with his eyes closed to rest.
There is no doubt that this team is Xiao Han's team.
It is said that after they took action to resolve the crisis in Luoyang that day, they were not like others thought. They just walked away and hid their merits and fame.
Instead, the group of people followed the main road and moved into Luoyang City, where they made some repairs and waited for Old Man Hua and others who were left behind.
However, because the governor of Luoyang was still in a coma at the time, and most of the other officials were on the banks of the Yellow River and had not returned to the city, Xiao Han did not go out to visit local officials as usual after arriving in Luoyang, so the news about them in the city was unknown.
Really not many people know.
As for the concealment of their efforts to relieve the difficulties this time, it was not Xiao Han's fault.
But after Dong Xingshu discovered that Xiao Han and the others had quietly left at some unknown time, some people misunderstood and thought that Xiao Han did not want to be in the limelight, so he took it upon himself to block the news and only let people say that a hole had collapsed in the ice wall.
, not a word was said about how this hole came to be!
"Don't worry, he's in great shape! Nothing serious!"
At this time, Old Man Hua's slightly thin body was bumping up and down with the carriage. After hearing Xiao Han's words, he just raised his eyelids slightly and said these few words lightly.
"It's best if nothing happens!" Seeing what the master said, Xiao Han felt a little relieved. He also leaned in the carriage, looking at the sunlight coming through the gap in the curtains and sighed: "Hey, this fat guy usually looks quite strong.
How come at the critical moment, even the dog can't compare!"
By the way, after returning from the river that day, the soaked dog warmed himself up by the fire, took a hot bath, changed his clothes, and immediately became as lively as a normal person!
But the fat man who also came back had a fever, convulsions, and was talking nonsense! Otherwise, when Old Man Hua finally came over, the doctors invited by Xiaodong and the others would start recommending coffin shops!
However, even if Old Man Hua rushed over and prescribed some medicine, the fat man didn't see much improvement and his fever was still severe!
"This is an invasion of external evil, it has nothing to do with whether the body is strong or not!" Old Man Hua rolled his eyes at Xiao Han, as if he was ashamed that he didn't even know this basic medical knowledge, and then continued:
"Besides, look at Liu Hongji! How much he takes care of his subordinates? He is guarding him in the carriage every day!"
"Liu Hongji? Guard him?"
Xiao Han's face turned red all of a sudden! The corners of his mouth twitched, looking disgusting as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare!
He had forgotten how relieved he was when he saw Liu Hongji give up riding a horse, take the initiative to move the fat man into his car, and take care of him personally! He even thought that this prodigal son had discovered his conscience.
!
But now, in Xiao Han's mind, he only had the idea of beating Liu Hongji to death with a hammer!
No one else, just because last night, Xiao Han inspected the camp and accidentally discovered that Liu Hongji wanted to share a room with the fat man for no other reason than for him to hold the fat man like a small stove to keep him warm at night!
