The heads in the hands of General Liu Quan and Liu Hu were still on the ground and they said: "These are the heads of Liu Zhuan, the leader of the second village of Erhu Mountain, and his son!"
"Okay! Well done!" Zhu Ci praised again.
Liu Hu chuckled and said: "Master of the Dazhai! The fourth child is really clever. He actually knew where the people from the Erhu Village were escaping from, and he even asked us to ambush there in advance, so that as soon as they arrived, he would give them a shot.
Woduan!"
Zuo Aoran laughed and didn't say anything. Zhu Ci had asked Zuo Aoran this question a long time ago, and Zuo Aoran also gave a good answer, so when Liu Hu talked about this matter, Zhu Ci didn't say much.
What to say, he just said: "You two have been fighting all day and night, go back and rest early." Liu Quan and Liu Hu retired and went to rest for the time being.
Zhu Ci and Zuo Aoran also didn't rest all night. They spent the whole night in the village dealing with some trivial aftermath work and counting the number of casualties and property losses. So Zuo Aoran saw that brothers Liu Quan and Liu Hu had returned safely.
Then he said to Zhu Ci: "My younger brother is going down to rest first. Brother, please rest early too!" Zhu Ci nodded, and the two of them went down to rest separately.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zuo Aoran said goodbye to Zhu Ci, saying, "I haven't been home for many years, and I need to go home early to honor my parents. Moreover, his two senior brothers have to go back to the mountain early to take care of their master." Again.
Xiang Zhu Ci said: "Why don't you give the gold and silver on the mountain to the soldiers and come with me?"
Zhu Ci thought about it. More than half of the family property on the mountain had been burned down. It would take a lot of time to rebuild it. There were also many casualties among the brothers on the mountain. The cottage with more than 800 people was now only
There were more than a hundred people left, and when he thought about this, Zhu Ci couldn't help but sigh.
Although he had not been in contact with Zuo Aoran for a long time, Zhu Ci felt that this brother could be friends with him, otherwise it would not be possible for him to become a brother of the opposite sex. Thinking of this, Zhu Ci looked at the two brothers Liu Quan and Liu Hu. What did he mean?
Asked: "What do you two mean?" Liu Quan nodded in agreement.
Liu Hu said stupidly: "Master of the Dazhai, look at what we are doing! Whether you leave or not is all your business. I have decided that I must go with the fourth child!" After Liu Hu said,
Everyone laughed.
Zuo Aoran stayed in Sanhu Village for another day. Early the next morning, Zuo Aoran's two senior brothers, Lan Yu and Lan Liang, said goodbye to Zuo Aoran and returned to the mountains to take care of their master. The three of them all cried loudly when they said goodbye.
A scene. As the saying goes, if a man sheds tears, he won't shed them easily, but he has not yet reached the point of being sad.
Li Yan had two reasons for asking Lan Yu and Lan Liang to go home with Zuo Aoran. The first was that he was afraid of the long journey and what would go wrong on the way. The second was that he thought there were too many things, and Zuo Aoran and "Sun and Moon Shangsi" were separated.
"Beast", one person and one beast cannot take so many things.
They were busy until almost noon, when everyone had finished preparing everything. Zhu Ci took out half of the gold and silver property on the mountain and distributed it to the soldiers on the mountain, asking them to go home to their respective families, and each family used the money to do something.
It was a small business, and even those who suffered serious or minor injuries were given more gold and silver, leaving only a dozen confidants.
There were five large carriages in total. The remaining property from the Third Tiger Village occupied one and a half carts, and the property confiscated from the Second Tiger Village occupied three and a half carts. Four people, Zuo Aoran, Zhu Ci, Liu Quan, and Liu Hu
, and the vehicles walked side by side on the wall, with the big car following behind.
In this way, Zuo Aoran took his three sworn brothers to his home, Zuojiazhuang, Zhending County, Changshan Prefecture...
The road was relatively safe, with only two or three waves of thieves coming out to rob the road. Zuo Aoran and Zhu Ci didn't take any action, and were rounded up by the two brothers Liu Quan and Liu Hu. On this day, Zuo Aoran returned.
Arrive at Zuojiazhuang, Zhending County, Changshan Prefecture.
After entering the village, he went straight to his home. When he looked up in front of the door, Zuo Aoran was stunned. The scene at home was very different from the past. Normally, there would be an endless stream of cars and horses coming to the door. Today, however,
It's a door that's ajar, a place of depression and desolation.
Zuo Aoran was puzzled: "Why is this?" After thinking for a while, Zuo Aoran couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it. He would find out later if he asked! So he turned around and said: "Second brother
"Third brother, you two are here to arrange for them to unload the belongings on the car. My eldest brother and I will go into the hall first." After saying that, he walked a few steps and entered the house first, and then Zhu Ci followed. Liu Hu left.
Curling their lips, they wanted to say something, but nothing came out. The two brothers directed the soldiers they brought to unload the items on the car.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he happened to meet Zuo Aoxing, who had watched him grow up. Zuo Aoran had been gone for many years, and he left when he was six years old. His appearance now was different from the past. Zuo Aoxing gave him a salute.
, asked: "I wonder why this young master came to Zuofu?"
Zuo Aoxing no longer recognizes Zuo Aoran, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Zuo Aoran doesn’t recognize him. Zuo Aoran’s appearance is not much different from before. Zuo Aoran laughed and said: “Brother Aoxing! What are you doing?
You don’t even recognize me anymore!”
"I'm sorry for my blindness, but I don't have much impression of the young master." Zuo Aoran said.
Zuo Aoran shook his head and said: "Brother Aoxing! I am Zuo Aoran! What? Brother really doesn't recognize me?"
Zuo Aoxing said "Oh!" and said: "It turns out that the eldest young master is back! Oh! The eldest young master has really missed the master and his wife. They are praying for the eldest young master to return home every day, hoping for the stars and the moon."
"Well... I'm back. Are you okay, Brother Aoxing?" Zuo Aoran said.
Zuo Aoran said: "Hmm...Okay! I'm pretty good, but...but the master is bedridden. Alas...it makes people anxious!"
When Zuo Aoran heard this, his heart was in his throat and he asked, "What happened to my father?"
"I was beaten!" Zuo Aoxing said.
When Zuo Aoran heard this, he felt angry and asked: "Who did you ask to be beaten?"
"But...that...isn't..." Zuo Aoxing was about to continue, but when he summed it up, the eldest son had a fiery temperament. He could fight against injustice even when he was good, and he could easily take care of other people's affairs. His father had to bear it.
Can he let go of his grievance? Now he is back to study, and the man behind him doesn't seem to be a good person. If he gets angry, he will have to kill a few people. Thinking of this, he swallowed the words in his throat.
.
Zuo Aoran became anxious, "Bang!", grabbed Zuo Aoxing's arm, and asked: "Tell me! Who did my father get hurt?" Zuo Aoran saw Zuo Aoran humming.
For a long time, I just couldn't explain why. I asked anxiously: "Oh! Why don't you tell me?"
"Well... ah... Don't be angry, Mr. Young Master. He is reporting good things but not bad things. You have a long way home and there is a fire on the way. I'm afraid that what I said was inappropriate and it will add fuel to the fire. What if this happens?
If the fire is added to the external fire, it will become a disease... Well... this villain can't afford it, if you have any questions, you should ask the master!" Zuo Aoxing said.
Zuo Aoran heard half of what he said, he couldn't stand it! He wanted to get angry, but suppressed it again, thinking: "Oh! It's because I have such a bad temper that I scared my family so much that they didn't dare to say anything to me.
I've been gone for nine years, and it's time to change my temper. Just ask inside and you'll find out." Thinking of this, he quickly said: "Brother Aoxing, where are my parents?"
"...Ah...they're all in the study! Let me take you there!" Zuo Aoxing said.
Zuo Aoran waved his hand and said: "No need!" Then he turned around and introduced: "This is Zhu Ci, the sworn brother I worshiped on the way home. You take my eldest brother to the living room to rest first, and prepare to leave the three rooms.
Let my three sworn brothers stay in the good house. I am preparing to provide some rooms for the servants to live in, and I also brought back dozens of servants to guard the house." After saying that, he confessed to Zhu Ci and strode straight in.
In the inner courtyard, Zuo Aoxing takes Zhu Ci to the living room, let’s not talk about it for now.
