Back Off, Let Me Come

Brother Zhai Huan is worried about the hexagram, and the culprit has gone far enough away. The old man raised his hand to lift the brim of his bamboo hat, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the tax bank queue behind him, whose tail had long disappeared. A bit of youthful vitality that was inconsistent with his age appeared on his old and haggard face. He said: "I didn't expect to laugh. Fang is there too."

If Zhai Le was still there at this time, he would be surprised.

He traveled around Xiaocheng, and there were not many people who were close enough to exchange first names with each other. How did this old man, who only met once, know about him?

The shepherd boy twirled a simple and rough bamboo flute.

His tone was mature: "Unexpected, good things can come with many consequences."

The old man smiled and asked: "With these two 'unexpected' events, Xiaofang and Zhai Huan, do we still have to execute the plan as planned?"

The shepherd boy asked, "What if? Ha, one Zhai Xiaofang and the other Zhai Yuewen are still young. Mr. Shen Xiaolang is nothing to be afraid of."

Seeing the shepherd boy's confidence, the old man shrugged.

"There is one thing that I don't quite understand."

The shepherd boy said in a cold and immature voice, "Ask."

The old man frowned in confusion and said: "You are obviously only twenty-four or five, and that Zhai Huan is already weak. Even if he is younger than you, let's count him as twenty-one or two. Why do you always speak in an old-fashioned way? It seems that you are older than Zhai Huan. Happy two or three rounds?"

"Then why Mr. Shen Xiaolang likes to take advantage of Zhai Xiaofang? Who is the 'son' in your mouth who 'loved wine when he was still a man and could drink three jars at a time'? Why is your reason, and I am why."

The shepherd boy's rhetorical question immediately stopped the old man.

Could be why?

Naturally, it is to give people the joy of being a father. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, they all have the heart to be a father.

The old man was smiling, his expression froze.

In the blink of an eye, he returned to the kind and kind old man's state. The shepherd boy understood without any hint, raised the bamboo flute in his hand, and started playing. Due to the material of the instrument, the sound of the flute is not very good, but the skill of the player can also be seen from it.

One grandfather, one grandson, and one cow leisurely returned to the village.

This is an abandoned village in the mountains.

The other houses have been uninhabited for a long time. They were either eaten by insects and ants, decayed and collapsed, or were destroyed by the slippery ground. The entire village was deserted and deserted. Only the old house at the end of the village was still intact. Behind the house were two orange trees that were growing wildly without care.

The old man led the old cow and pushed open the creaking old door.

The following scouts stared for a while, and saw a little light shining through the dilapidated windows of the old house. Half an hour later, green smoke rose from the chimney, and finally turned around and left with confidence. Inside the house, the old man standing in front of the window observing the outside nodded to the shepherd boy.

The shepherd boy said: "It should be Zhai Huan."

Zhai Le didn't see through his disguise at all. Captain Yang was hesitant by nature and mediocre in ability. He also had aloof pride in his bones and looked down on ordinary people. He would never think so of two grandsons who didn't seem to be a threat at first sight. equally important.

Not to mention sending scouts to follow them.

The only possibility is that Zhai Huan became suspicious.

"Zhai Huan? Since he was suspicious, why didn't he stop him then?"

The old man was very grateful.

They really lived here these two days, and there were indeed two orange trees in the backyard. There used to be more than 30 households in the village, and the popularity was not bad. It's just that the world is difficult, and young people are either forced to become soldiers, or they can't survive and have no choice but to go out and seek development.

The remaining old people and children waited for death, and after several twists and turns, it gradually turned into an all-too-common uninhabited village.

"Of course, it's because the enemy has become lax that it's easy to reveal the truth. Instead of trying to alert the enemy, it's better to wait and see what happens." The shepherd boy had thoroughly considered Zhai Huan's behavior and said softly, "He didn't see through my disguise and couldn't figure me out. Two identities, are they innocent passers-by, outposts of thieves, or simply thieves..."

The two used old firewood to make a fire to boil water and some simple dry food.

Can't see the slightest haste.

Except for the heavy rain outside, which was not part of the plan, other details did not depart from the shepherd boy and Chu Yao's plan, including the slippery field.

The shepherd boy looked calm, but actually he was sweating inside.

If Duwei Yang chooses to clean up the dirt and gravel, the chance of tax fraud will skyrocket, and they can only try to get closer to test the authenticity.

Really, attack by force. It is not easy to intercept someone after passing this official road, and it is easy for them to be made dumplings by the tax collection team. If you leave, your work will be in vain, and you will go back home to wash up and sleep.

If you choose to detour, that's exactly what you want.

This potholed dirt road is not only slippery and difficult to navigate, it is also very narrow. To pass, the tax bank team can only stretch as long as the old ones. In the event of an enemy attack, they cannot take care of both ends. Even if there are powerful warriors sitting there, it will be difficult to set up a formation.

The advantage is gone.

Most importantly, it can also greatly consume soldiers' physical strength.

Hey, don't even think about leaving before dawn.

Coinciding with heavy rain, the difficulty increased to another level.

Thinking of what Chu Wuhui had done with Gong Shuwu, the shepherd boy was very much looking forward to what Duwei Yang would be like after he had gone half way through all the hard work, only to find out that there was another slippery slope on the mountain road.

It must be an angry and ferocious face.

Emmm…

He guessed pretty well.

The sky was already dark and the rain had not stopped. When Captain Yang received the information from the scouts ahead, his face was like a wild horse running wildly towards the black. Iron green was no longer enough to describe his face at this time.

Coincidentally, another scout also came back on horseback.

Report back to the pair of cattle herders.

This can hit the muzzle.

Captain Yang was holding back a fire that had no place to spread. He didn't like anything at the moment, especially Zhai Huan who came up with blind ideas and showed off after learning some skills. Any pedestrian passing by would be suspicious. Is he the reincarnation of a fox? So suspicious?

The only good thing is that the floor is not slippery and can be cleaned.

When Captain Yang looked at his subordinates and asked if they wanted to clean up, he roared at the top of his lungs: "If we don't clean up, how about a detour?"

Where to go?

Make a U-turn?

The subordinate officials were reprimanded and looked dispirited.

Although it didn't take long to clear the slippery ground, the tax team was forced to stop. At first, the soldiers were grateful to have a break to catch their breath, but they soon discovered that they were too naive. The cold rain fell on the soldier's skin, cooling the heat from the inside out caused by a lot of exercise. When the cool breeze blows, the skin trembles, triggering goosebumps, and the limbs become cold and stiff.

This dirt road is difficult to walk during the day, let alone at night.

Captain Yang had no choice but to find a relatively open and flat place and order the entire army to rest on the spot.

The soldiers got into the tax bank vehicles to hide from the rain.

Those who have martial courage use martial courage to resist the bone-chilling chill with martial energy. Those who lack courage can only resist and rely on physical means such as shaking and gathering to keep warm. This half day was more tiring than the previous days combined, and soon I heard several thunderous snorings one after another.

Zhai Huan felt more and more bad.

Even if there is no suspicion about the grandfather and grandson, the "Tuen hexagram" that appears in the scribe's way of starting a hexagram is actually the lower hexagram, which is a big trouble.

1. Only then did I realize that Brother Zhai Huan hadn’t picked up the characters yet. By the way, I created a character, which can be regarded as taking notes.

To add, Zhai Huan, whose courtesy name is Yuewen, has a Wenxin grade of about three.

(I was quite satisfied with this word at first, because according to the naming rules, I planned to add "xi" to my brother's name. After all, "happy" goes well with it, but I felt that "xi" was too down-to-earth, so I changed it again. I changed it, and the result...emmm, as I thought about it, I realized something was wrong.)

PS: I seem to have really fallen in love with mechanical keyboards. I tried to use the soft keyboard of my laptop before, but found that it was inexplicably uncomfortable and uncomfortable... It was really strange. I searched online and found that the dot mechanical keyboard is very cute (*▽*), but it is very expensive. One costs 500 to 600 yuan, and the larger one costs 1000 yuan...
