Chapter 4 Nightmare

Ah Man doesn't care what his father is busy with, in his opinion, not letting himself go out to play is the most troublesome thing.The colorful world of Luoyang City is so good, with wide streets, the busy Jinshi and Mashi, and Cai Mao's playmates who hang out all day...how cruel it is not to be allowed to go out!After staying at home for half a month, Ah Tan was bored, and if he didn't go out, long horns would protrude from his head. That night, Ah Man tossed and turned, and then shook his younger brother who was sleeping beside him: "De'er, let's go out and play."

De'er is not like Ah Man, he is an honest child.Hearing what my brother said, my little head immediately shook like a rattle: "This is not allowed. Opening the door privately in the middle of the night, is it something I wait for other people's children to do?" A Mo poked his younger brother's head hard: "Silly boy, where can I go through the door when I sneak out? There is a lot of firewood in the backyard next to the man's house. If you climb up, you can climb over the wall?" "Oh, so you and Cai Mao came in and out from there." De'er suddenly realized.

"are you going?" "Don't go." De'er pouted, "If you do something, you must tell it, and when you return it, it is the truth." Seeing him explaining the truth to him, Ah Man was annoyed and funny: "If you don't go, I will go out by myself." "Don't!" De'er grabbed him and said something inexplicable: "A gentleman never goes out at midnight." Ah Man smiled and said, "What's your reasoning, which book contains such words?" De'er scratched his head and said, "Confucius was very angry when he saw Zai Yu sleeping in the daytime, and said he was 'a rotten wood that cannot be carved'. Zai Yu must have gone out to play at night when he slept in the daytime, so Confucius criticized him." "Pu Chi" laughed: "You can figure it out... I have to leave quickly." As he said that, he got up and put on his clothes.

"Where are you going!" "Embrace our 'Hussar General', Doudou Cai Mao's 'Chariot General' and go!" "The general will be the general, that's not bad." De'er yawned, "But doesn't Cai Mao sleep?" "Who is as obedient as you, who only reads and sleeps every day." While speaking, A Man had already put on his clothes, "I'm leaving...you must not tell daddy!" "Of course. Master said, 'If a man has no faith, he doesn't know what to do.' Don't worry." "Who will carry it with you? Go to sleep, nerd!"

Ah Man sneaked out the door.It was really quiet in the middle of the night, the lights in all the houses had been extinguished, but fortunately there was still a hazy moonlight, so he tiptoed to the chicken coop in the backyard.At this moment, the chickens have also gone to sleep, lying quietly on the haystack, like big fur balls.Aman found his 'Hussar General' by groping twice, and put it in his arms. The chicken was startled awake, squawking and thrashing in his arms.Afraid of alarming his family, Ah Man quickly wrapped the chicken tightly with his skirt, and pinched the chicken's neck to keep it from screaming. "General Hussars, be obedient and obedient. I'll take you out to meet a friend. We'll come back before dawn. I won't miss your crowing." It may be because of the whole day's messing around, but the chicken heard what he said. Really stopped fluttering, curled up neatly in his arms.Seeing that it was quiet, Ah Man hurriedly climbed up the firewood pile, and climbed over the wall carefully.

The Luoyang city is so quiet under the night, and it is not known where the noisy traffic during the day is hiding.This is the first time for Ah Man to go out by himself in the middle of the night, and suddenly it seems that he has plunged into another quiet and cool world, as if there are endless novelties waiting for him to explore.He took a step forward and ran up and down the empty street.The big cock throbbed in his arms, just like his own ignorant and happy heart. After running for a while, Ah Meng suddenly stopped: Why did you ask Cai Mao to come out in the middle of the night?As soon as my brain got hot, I jumped over the wall and came out. Only when I came back to my senses did I realize how stupid my thoughts were.He slowed down, thinking about what to do.

At this moment, a large flame suddenly flashed in the direction of the north, illuminating half of the sky in the dark night, how many torches it took!Immediately afterwards, noisy shouts sounded, and the voices came one after another, although they were far away, they could be vaguely heard.Are there robbers in the city?How can there be such a thing at the feet of the emperor?Ah Man was terrified, who was responsible for this horrible night?After all, the child is just a child, and Ah Mo had already left the cockfighting matter to Yelang Kingdom, and ran back trembling with the big cock in his arms.

After running a few streets, I saw that I had already arrived at the door of my house.Suddenly, a black figure jumped out from the corner of the wall, and before Ah Man could react, a big hand covered his mouth.A Man was almost frightened to death, he felt that the blood in his body was not moving, and he stared at the strange person in front of him with wide eyes.With a trembling in his hand, the chicken also fell to the ground and ran away bouncing around. "Don't call!" the man said, "Little brother, I'm not a bad person. The eunuch made trouble and sent people to hunt and kill me. Can you find a place for me to hide temporarily?"

Ah Man settled down, and by the moonlight, he realized that this man was wearing a leather hat, his robe was stained with a lot of blood, he was holding a green sword in his hand, he was panting for breath while speaking, There was still a look of shock on his face.Now the sound of killing was getting closer and closer, the man sighed: "Life and death have a share! It seems that I am doomed today, so why bother others." After saying that, he let go of Ah Man, and swung the sword in his hand will kill himself. "Don't!" Ah Man suddenly felt a sense of righteousness in his heart, "Come with me!" After saying that, he led the man to the west wall of his backyard.Ah Man is naughty and often climbs in and out from here. There is already a large brick gap on the wall that can be stepped on.The two of them turned into the yard without any effort, and leaned on the pile of firewood, not daring to make a sound.For a short time, only the voices of people were heard, and the rustling of armor and horseshoes came from outside the wall.Someone even yelled, "Chasing! Don't tell the Taixue Yudang to run away!" It took a while to quiet down.

Ah Man breathed a sigh of relief, and then noticed that the person hiding with him was about twenty years old, with a broad forehead and a big face, and his eyes were full of sentimentality. "Are you a fugitive?" A Man blinked his eyes and stared at him. "no!" "Then who are you and what's your name?" The man hesitated for a moment, leaned on his sword and replied in a low voice: "My name is He Yong." "I heard daddy mentioning you. You are the imperial student He Boqiu, and you are very famous!" He Yong smiled wryly: "What's the use of being famous? Now I have become the one who treats the crime."

"What happened, can you tell me?" "The eunuch hijacked the emperor and the empress dowager, and falsely issued an order to kill the general Dou Wu. All the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion of the northern army were mobilized. Chen Taifu led more than 80 of our imperial students into the palace to rescue the emperor. He didn't want to be killed. The eunuch Wang Fu led troops to rob and kill." He Yong couldn't help but shed tears as he spoke, "There are more than 80 people...everyone is dead! They're all dead! I'm the only one left... ...The old lady Fu is seventy years old, and was beaten to death by those eunuchs..." Aman didn't quite understand what he was talking about, but seeing such a seven-foot-tall man tearing up and down, he felt very uncomfortable: "Don't cry! I cried when my mother passed away, but after a long time It's over. Dad said, everything has to look forward." He Yong seemed to be really persuaded by his words, and wiped away his tears: "One day I will take revenge, and I will kill the eunuchs with swords and knives!" He climbed up the woodpile again . "Wait! Where are you going?" "I have to escape from Luoyang City quickly." "You're covered in blood, so you'll definitely attract attention. Let's stay for a while..." Saying that, Ah Man ran to the woodshed. He Yong was taken aback for a moment, he was really confused, not as thoughtful as a child.In a blink of an eye, I saw Ah Man running back holding a servant's rags: "Hurry up and put this on." It's a good way to escape without being noticed by wearing people's clothes.He Yong quickly took off the bloody clothes, and changed into the shabby clothes in a few clicks. "You took off your hat!" "A gentleman cannot escape the crown, but this cannot be taken off." "You are a nerd just like my younger brother!" Ah Meng laughed, "You keep saying you want to avenge your friend, but if you lose your life, who are you going to avenge?" He Yong sighed: "Alas... I have a very high self-esteem, and I never thought that the danger is not as good as a child." He said and took off the leather hat on his head. "Oops!" Ah Mo realized that his "Hussar General" had been lost, and he grinned, "My Hussar General... What should I use to ride the Great General... Woooo... ..." This confuses He Yong, the child just directed Ruoding to comfort himself, but now he started to cry.And what about the General Hussars and Generals Chariots, why did this child cry out two first-rank officials? "It's all because of you! It's all because of you! My fighting cock is lost!" A Man thumped his shoulder, "My hussar general is a cock that has never lost a fight!" Only then did He Yong understand: "It's okay, this is for you." He untied the saber from his waist and handed it to Ah Man. Aman pulled out his sword and took a look. This guy is made of bronze, with a sharp edge. Under the moonlight, there is a faint turquoise light. My father and uncle also have many swords, but none of them are more beautiful than this one. It must be worth it. Not cheap.Ah Man hurriedly stopped his mournful voice: "How can you do without a sword?" "I am now dressed as a servant, and carrying this sword will only be more eye-catching. The sword is given to the righteous. If you save my life today, this sword will be given to you." He Yong had already climbed up the wall and turned his head. Come on, "Little benefactor, I have fallen for Meng Lang, and I haven't asked your name yet." "My name is Cao Cao." "I think this mansion is rich and spacious, and it must be the home of officials. Can you tell your father what the official residence is?" A Man chuckled: "My father is Captain Sili." "Cao Song!?" He Yong felt as if he had been stabbed by an awl. He was stunned for a long time, and then he sat on the wall and laughed, "Are you Cao Jugao's son? Hahaha...you are actually Cao Song's son! Haha ...God's will! This is really God's will..." As he spoke, his figure swayed and disappeared into the vast night.
