Chapter 146: I'm afraid the air suddenly quiet

Zhang Fei met Guan Lin early in the morning and then handed his daughter to the brat, he rushed to the outskirts of Xicheng.

According to Kong Ming's instructions, he still wants to come to see the military advisor's "father-in-law".

After all, he came to Jingzhou with two tasks.

First, investigate Hong Qigong's true identity.

Second, find a good doctor and explain the law and the law to the patient who is filial and upright!

Can…

What surprised Zhang Fei was a little surprised.

As soon as I left the Xicheng Gate, I saw... many villages in the suburbs of the city were holding funerals, and cried endlessly.

Of course, it is not surprising to hold a funeral.

October is about to enter.

In ancient times, October was a very dangerous season for the elderly. It was easy to freeze and die of illness because of thin clothes.

Even in the Han Dynasty, if the results of summer and autumn harvest were not ideal, then for an ordinary family, if the elderly at home die of illness in winter, they are likely to have no money to hold a funeral.

Because of the Little Ice Age, the cold came earlier and colder, so... Before October, some poor elderly people had been sent away.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but look over.

Poor...

I just think these farmers are too poor.

How can one wear thin clothes survive the whole winter?

But even if it's poor...

Even if you are wearing thin clothes.

But in the coffin, the deceased were still wearing thick and gorgeous clothes.

The body was also cleaned, and things were placed in the mouth and hands. This shows that the Han Dynasty's "governing the world with filial piety" can be seen.

According to custom, Zi, Mao, Si, You, Xu, these days, male deceased can be buried;

Wu, Wei, Shen, Chou, Hai, Chen, these days are the dead who are buried.

The location is often high in the hometown or next to the mountain.

Looking at these scenes, Zhang Fei's mood couldn't help but sigh.

Yet...

The more he walked westward, he found that there were almost no funerals here.

In this village... from door to door, some are making jerky meat, some are making wine with koji made in July, and some are pickling vegetables. You can even see that the people are wearing big jackets, and they are busy and prosperous. scene.

Zhang Fei thought, it was just two miles apart, is the gap so big?

Zhang Fei couldn't help asking an old man.

"Old man? What's going on? Why are you so poor that you're so thin that your clothes are as thin as the wings of a fly, but you're rich and wearing thick jackets, and you're still making bacon?"

The villagers were simple and could blurt out Zhang Fei's words.

The old man replied, "I'm going to tell you, a few months ago, our village was the same as the next village, but now it's different... Mr. Huang's 'Mianshui Villa' poured in for some reason. Two thousand people... so many people have to eat and live... So, we have to make a living in our village! We are not supported by our village? Mr. Huang is generous and never stops us. Every household is There will be surplus food.”

The old man said this...

A middle-aged man with a half-pig happened to pass by and couldn't help but add, "It's not just that, I heard that Mianshui Villa is also full of refugees and beggars... Mr. Huang is kind and righteous, not just to support him. In our village, he also supported the beggars. Recently, Mr. Huang has recruited many people! The strong and poor village next door all came to join us. !”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei's eyes rolled, "Then why don't you go?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand, "Not anyone can go there. Mr. Huang is strictly checking it. Either the three generations of ancestors are in our local area, or they are in the Central Plains turmoil and escaped. But one of the tribes is

Dongwu, those who are officials in the north or those who have committed crimes... don't want them all?"

"How did he know that there are people in your family in the north? They are officials in the east? How did he know that you have committed crimes?"

Zhang Fei blinked his eyes repeatedly, he was so curious.

"Oh..." This time it was the old man who explained, "It's all from a village, who doesn't know anyone? If there is really someone who doesn't know anyone, then Mr. Huang is not willing to use it!"

--Hey!

Zhang Fei's eyes must be, and he muttered in his heart that this "Mianshui" villa is a bit interesting.

etc…

After a long brain circuit, Zhang Fei came back to the smell.

——『Dispossessed, beggar?

——"Then Mr. Hong Qi, didn't he build a Beggars' Sect? Beggars' Sect... Beggars' Sect? Could it be that a group of beggars gathered together?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei immediately asked.

"Do you know who is Hong Qigong?"

The old man and the middle-aged man looked at each other and shook his head.

However, the middle-aged man reminded. "Hong Qigong is so powerful. If you use a little trick, you can defeat Dongwu. Jiangling City... Everyone mentioned that this Hong Qigong is a dragon that is not seen.

How can we know...Who is Hong Qigong? But..."

Zhang Fei was about to sigh, but suddenly he felt a "but" and made him feel energetic again.

He quickly took out a big bag of money from his arms and grabbed a handful of the two people in front of him, "I won't let you talk for nothing, tell me everything you know!"

this…

The old man and the middle-aged man looked at each other. The old man put away his money and said truthfully: "Actually, there is nothing that cannot be said. Everyone in the village is saying it."

"What did you say?" Zhang Fei was so anxious. Damn, can you, old man, stop going around the corner?

The old man said slowly: "Hong Qigong, although we don't know who it is,... the 'Huang Lao Xie' that has always been mentioned in the market recently... we guess..."

The old man kept his slowness as usual, but the middle-aged man said first: "The villagers guessed that 'Huang Laoxie' is Mr. Huang from the Mianshui villa... Think about it, his surname is Huang, now

...There have been recruited so many people, and the artifact and weapons that have been circulating so much. Who else can be there except Mr. Huang who has this ability?"

hehe…

Zhang Fei was happy. He had already thought about the identity of "Huang Lao Xie".

But, there is no direct evidence.

But now...

Zhang Fei's eyes must be.

It’s not bad. It’s a surprise that I didn’t find Hong Qigong.

Thinking of this...

Suddenly the gate of Mianshui Villa opened.

Zhang Fei noticed that at the gate, an old man wearing a leather jacket and riding a donkey, and a wine gourd hanging around his waist, was walking leisurely towards the villa. He swayed the wine gourd from time to time, as if he was his mouth.

I was greedy and came out to ask the villagers for wine.

While walking, he was still chanting a poem.

——"A night of the north wind is cold, and the red clouds are thin; the wind and catkins in the sky are floating, changing the old country."

——"When I look up at Taixu, I think it is a jade dragon fighting; I am about to fly the armor of the turtle, and I will be everywhere in the universe in the future. I ride a donkey to ask for wine, and sigh alone that the plum blossoms are thin."

This poem seems to be predicting...

Heavy snow is coming.

Hearing this, Zhang Fei could not calm down. He stretched out his arms and ran towards Huang Chengyan with his legs crossed. He looked like a fifty-year-old child, running while shouting.

"Old Huang, Lao Huang..."

"I finally found it. It turns out that you are that Huang Laoxie!"

In Zhang Fei's opinion.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t find Hong Qigong… It’s enough to find Huang Laoxie to explain to Zhuge Kongming.

…

…

It was only one night that the weather suddenly became colder.

The air is dry and makes people's faces crack very much. This is a sign that the "dry season" is coming.

After saying goodbye to Yang Yi, Guan Yu did not return to Jiangling City directly, but rushed to the camp where the Guan family army was stationed to handle some military affairs.

Ma Liang also came over to give advice for Guan Yu.

Guan Ping was the goalkeeper of Ya and was waiting for the order under Guan Yu's tent.

Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo should not have been here as the head of the village.

But because of their special identities, their seats are left in the big tent.

"When the armed fight was discovered in Changsha County and the armed forces were seized, the prefect Liao Li made a quick decision, which was a great achievement, but General Liu Pan made great contributions to the attack of thousands of miles, and he should be rewarded!"

Ma Liang is reporting at this moment.

Just now, what he and Guan Gong were talking about was that there was a large-scale armed battle in the stone cave of Guanshan, Changsha County, and the Changsha County Magistrate finally seized the armed forces.

During this period, because of Guan Yu and Ma Liang's attention, Liu Pan had been appointed in advance to rush to remind Changsha County Governor Liao Li.
