Chapter 9 Chapter 7 Children's Study Cottage

The drums on the city wall had just sounded.The town lights began to flicker. Zhang Fei went back to the crossroads of the market, put away the wild boar stall that had been set up during the day, put the buttocks and butcher's knife of the wild boar into a cattail bag, tied them up, picked them up and ran. "Oh, it's late." The gates from the inside of the city to the outside of the city have been closed. "Hey—open the door!" Zhang Fei looked up at the watchtower and yelled like a wayward child. Five or six people came out of the small barracks next to the city gate one after another, as if they saw an inexplicable fool, and half-teasingly reprimanded: "Cough, cough! What are you shouting! The city gate is closed, and the thunderbolt will open!" No more. Who the hell are you?"

"The wild boar sellers go to the market in the city every day." "That's right, this guy is a butcher. Why did he come to the city gate in a daze now?" "I was running late and missed the closing time. Open the door." "Is it true?" "I'm not drunk." "Haha... this guy must be drunk. Turn around three times and bow." "what?!" "Turn around three times, bow to us three times, and let you pass." "That's not acceptable. But you can salute like this. Now, let's open the door." "Go back! Hundreds of bows won't let you pass. Sleep under the eaves of the market and leave the city tomorrow."

"If you can go out of the city tomorrow, I won't beg you. If you don't let me go, I will crush you and jump out of the city wall." "This kid..." The group of people were dumbfounded. "It doesn't matter how much you drink, it's almost enough. Otherwise, cut off your head!" "So you won't let me pass? Then why do you want me to salute?!" Zhang Fei looked around.Although he was drunk, he was a big man who stood upright, and he was not afraid of the creepy eyes. He walked forward and stood under the city wall, with one foot on the iron ladder that was forbidden for people outside the government to climb. .

"Hey, where are you going?!" One person grabbed Zhang Fei's belt.The other gate guards pointed their guns at him. Zhang Fei bared his white teeth from his beard, smiled affectionately, and said, "Don't say we don't know how to do things, this is good..." He pushed in front of them the rump of the boar he had brought along with the meat-cutting knife. "These are all for you. With your status, you seldom eat meat. Drinking this meat before going to bed is far better than being beaten to death by me." "This kid, tell me to just..." Another person came up and grabbed Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei swung the tip of the wild boar's buttocks, and smashed the spears that came forward into a bunch and knocked them to the ground.Then, he treated the two soldiers hugging his waist and neck like flies, and climbed up the iron ladder of more than two feet without even shaking him. "This, this guy..." "barbarian!" "Someone broke through the barrier!" "Go! Go!" The officers and soldiers were in a panic and shouted, and two more people flew down from the city wall at them.Of course, the blood of those who were thrown down was splashed and their bodies were smashed to pieces, and the people at the bottom were also smashed into meatloaf.

The guards in the watchtower and the government officials were disturbed by the movement and ran out to watch.At this time, Zhang Fei had already jumped from the city wall more than two feet high to the ground outside the city gate. "Yellow bandits!" "spy!" Drums were beating on the gate tower to call the police, and there was chaos above and below the city gate.Zhang Fei ran away like a gust of wind without looking back. After running for five or six miles, I came to a river.It is a tributary of the Pantao River.Across the river was a village of about 500 households, immersed in an ink-like night mist.Entering the village, it was still dark at night, and dim lights were flickering on the lamp dishes of every house.

There is a temple surrounded by willows.Zhang Fei strode along the wall and turned the corner.There is a quiet courtyard here, with five or six jujube trees planted in it, which looks like a hermit's residence.The doorposts are still there, but the door leaves are gone.There is a sign hanging at the entrance, with four large characters written on it: Children's School Cottage "Hey—are you asleep, Yun Chang? Yun Chang!" Zhang Fei knocked on the door inside.There was a faint light in the nearby window.The curtain was raised, and someone poked his head out of the window and asked, "Who is it?"

"I." "Zhang Fei." "Hey, Yunchang." The light in the window disappeared along with the figure.After a while, the door in front of Zhang Fei opened. "It's about time, what's the matter?" Under the light of the candle in his hand, the man's face could be seen more clearly than in the daytime.First of all, what is surprising is that it is no less than Zhang Fei's size and broad chest.He also has a thick beard hanging on his chest, which is longer than Zhang Fei's.Almost everyone thinks that people with too much hair are rude and reckless.Yun Chang's beard is softer and straighter than Zhang Fei's.This person is wiser and more outstanding than Zhang Fei.

He is said to be wise and has a broad forehead.A pair of red phoenix eyes, plump ears, overall looks, the body is huge, but the skin is delicate, and the voice is calm. "Oh, I think it's night, but I still want to tell you as soon as possible. I have a surprise for you." After hearing Zhang Fei's words, Yun Chang said: "Isn't it because I'm drinking with the food and drink that I said?" "What are you talking about! You always think I'm a drunkard, and it makes me sick. I usually drink to vent my feelings. Tonight I brought good news. The depression has been cleared away. We can talk without wine. Of course, wine is better."

"Hahahaha...Okay, come in!" Walking through the dark corridor, the figures of two people disappeared into a room. On the walls of the room are pictures of Confucius and his disciples, and there are many desks.As you can see on the doorpost, this is a cottage for children, a private school in the village, and the owner is the village boy's husband. "Yun Chang. We always say that dreams will soon cease to be dreams. But now, dreams seem to be becoming reality. That man named Liu Bei is the one who noticed and told you before, saying To tell you the truth, I met him at the market today. After talking deeply, I found out that he is really not an ordinary person, but a Han family clan, a descendant of Emperor Jing, and he is a handsome and heroic young man. Let's go, this is Let's go to Lousang Village to visit his house. Yun Chang, you need to prepare, is this okay?"

"You're still the same." Yun Chang just smiled and didn't answer.Zhang Fei urged him, but he didn't intend to get up.Zhang Fei then asked a bit contradictoryly, "What's the old way?" "Look," Yun Chang laughed again, "let's go to Lousang Village now, it's already past midnight. It's too rude to visit someone's house for the first time. Anyway, you have to go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Your character is very hot-tempered. Yes. But you are a man, I hope you can be more calm." Zhang Fei wanted to make Yun Chang happy sooner, but he didn't expect Yun Chang to answer indifferently, so he said, "Oh, Yun Chang. Did you give me a cold face after listening to my words with half-belief? You always say that I am impatient, I think you are an indecisive person. I hope you will be more decisive when things happen. " "Hahahaha. Retaliate against me. But I have to think about it. Anyway, I will not rush to meet the person who claims to be the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing without thinking carefully. There are too many such people in the world." "Look, as expected, you are doubting what I said." "Doubt is common sense. You are a fool by nature, so you don't doubt." "This is so heartbreaking. How can you be so stupid?!" "Aren't you cheated again and again in your daily life?" "Why don't I remember being cheated all the time?!" "You are so kind, you are so good that you don't even know it when you are deceived by others. You are so brave, but you are always struggling to make ends meet. You are poor and wandering all over the world. It is all because of your lack of thinking. And you are also impatient. Irritable and unreasonable. That's why I caused misunderstandings, saying that Zhang Fei is a bad guy. How can you not reflect a little?" "Hey, Yunchang. I didn't come here so late tonight to listen to your lesson." "However, you and I once expressed our ambitions to each other and made an appointment to become brothers. I am a brother and you are a brother, and our hearts are already firmly connected. Therefore, seeing the shortcomings of my brother, as an elder brother, I have to worry. And, outside It's not a good sign. What's more, you have to believe someone's words immediately, regardless of the middle of the night, and you are going to visit right away... so ill-considered , I really can't help worrying." Yun Chang wanted to say that it was absurd to visit Liu Bei's house late at night.To Zhang Fei, he is the elder brother of brothers, and he is good at reason, so every time he talks about reason, Zhang Fei can't hold his head up. The edges and corners were thwarted, and Zhang Fei was dejected.Yun Chang felt sorry for him, and took out his favorite wine and handed it to him. "No, no drinking tonight." Zhang Fei stopped talking and stayed at Yun Chang's house that night. At dawn, the village children who went to school in the school gathered noisily.Yun Chang is very harmonious and close to the children.He read the books of Confucius and Mencius to the children and taught the children how to read. He has become a village master through and through, and he has no other thoughts. "I'll come back later." Zhang Fei said to Yun Chang through the window of the schoolhouse, and left silently. Zhang Fei left Yun Chang's house full of anger.As soon as he went out, he turned around and yelled at the door: "Bah! Indecisive!" Scolding is scolding, and I am still angry.He came to the village tavern, as if he had been thirsty the night before, and as soon as he entered he called out, "Hey, bring me some wine!" Early in the morning, Zhang Fei drank a bucket of wine on an empty stomach, and Zhang Fei's eye sockets were slightly stained with red and black. He looked much better, and joked with the hotel manager. "Old man, your chicken wants to be eaten by me, it keeps wandering around my feet. Can you eat it?" "My lord, if you want to eat, just pluck the hair and fry the whole chicken." "Oh. That would be even better. I also thought, this chicken is always with me, let's eat it raw." "Eating raw meat will give you worms, my lord." "Crap. Chicken and horse meat don't get parasites." "Really?" "The body temperature is high. All low-temperature animals are nests of parasites. Isn't the country the same?" "Oh?" "Oh, the chicken is gone. Old man, it's already in the pot, right?" "No. If you want more wine, I will serve you the fried one." "I have no money." "Do not make jokes." "real." "Do you want more wine?" "Turn across the temple street ahead, there is a private school called Tongxue Caoshe. Go there and ask Yun Chang for money." "What a hassle." "What's the trouble! Yun Chang is a warrior, and he doesn't need money. He's my brother. Just say that his brother Zhang Fei drank, and he won't refuse to pay. Hey, have another drink!" The shopkeeper entertained thoughtfully, first stabilized him, and then sent his wife out through the back door.It seems that they are going to confront Yun Chang's house.After a while, my wife came back and whispered something in the shopkeeper's ear. "So it's right to let him drink." The old man suddenly changed his attitude, poured wine for Zhang Fei, let him drink as much as he wanted, and served him fried whole chicken. "This dry chicken is not to my taste. I want to eat it alive." As he said that, he went to catch the chicken next to him and chased him all the way to the street.The chicken flapped its wings and fled around, flying over his shoulders for a while, and slipping under his deadly crotch for a while. At this time, the catcher who searched the village from house to house spotted Zhang Fei, and suddenly ordered more than a dozen soldiers he had brought with him: "That's him! Last night, he broke into the city gate and killed the thief who escaped from the guards. Be careful, everyone." Hurry up, give it to me!" Hearing this voice, Zhang Fei was very surprised: "What's going on?" He looked around with drunken eyes. A chick was caught by his hand, screaming desperately and flapping its wings. "Thief!" "Don't let him get away!" "Come here honestly and be bound!" Surrounded by arresters and soldiers, Zhang Fei realized that they were talking about himself. "What's the matter?" Looking around at the spears around him, Zhang Fei tore off the chicken's leg and held it in his mouth. When Zhang Fei got drunk, his quality of wine was very poor.Coupled with the hobby of fighting and killing, it is two major shortcomings.Yun Chang also often talks about him. For him, drunken behaviors such as tearing chickens and eating legs are more stable performances. However, the captors and soldiers were terrified.Zhang Fei's mouth was stained bright red with chicken blood, and his eyes were piercing, terrifying. "What!?...Are you here to catch me?...Hahahaha. The chicken was carried upside down to make it like this." Zhang Fei teased the captors and soldiers who surrounded him, and held up the torn chicken at eye level for them to see. The catcher was furious and roared, "Cough, don't let this drunkard talk about it! It doesn't matter if you stab him to death. Let me do it!" However, the soldiers couldn't get close to him, they just circled him with their spears. Zhang Fei made a strange cat waist movement, lying on the ground like a dog.This made the captives and soldiers even more frightened.Because they thought they were preparing to pounce in the direction of his gaze. "Okay, you big chickens! I'm going to screw you to death one by one, don't run away!" Zhang Fei said. It seems that the game of chasing the chicken is still going on in his mind.In his eyes, the captives and soldiers all had cockscombs on their heads. The chickens were stunned and furious.One of them yelled "Bastard" and raised his gun to hit Zhang Fei.The spear hit Zhang Fei's shoulder accurately, but it was like touching a tiger's beard, making Zhang Fei furious, and turned the game into a killing while he was drunk. "You dare to do it!" As he said that, Zhang Fei grabbed the spear and hit the people around him with the gun, just like beating pods on the mat. The captives and soldiers who were beaten also began to go crazy.Zhang Fei thought it was troublesome, so he threw the spear into the air.The long spear flying towards the sky whistled, and it didn't know where it was going. The wailing started suddenly, worse than the wailing of a chicken, and it stopped in an instant.Hotel shopkeepers, shop guests, passers-by, and nearby residents all hid in their houses and behind trees, holding their breath, to see what happened.It quickly fell silent here, like a cemetery.Everything happened so fast that when everyone stretched out their heads to look at the street, they all screamed "ah" and couldn't speak anymore. Corpses with their heads twisted off, corpses spitting blood, corpses with eyes popping out... Under the sun, the corpses are too horrible to look at. About half escaped.The streets were empty of officials and soldiers. What about Zhang Fei?When everyone looked at it, they saw him walking leisurely towards the village, leaving behind his back. The spring breeze blew his sleeves, swaying slightly.The smell of wine wafts from afar... "It's terrible! Hey, hurry up to Yun Chang's house and tell him what happened here. That man is really the brother of the husband, and the husband will not be able to pass the test easily." The shopkeeper of the hotel called his wife.But his wife was trembling and was useless.Finally, in a panic, he stumbled towards the alley of the Tongxue cottage.
