Chapter 41 Chapter 4: The Heroes Found by the Bears

In the dark, Dongguan brigade walked back to Hu'er's mansion and entered the inner courtyard. He only thought about Gongsun Jianyu's injury, and then walked quickly outside the room where she slept peacefully. Outside Gongsun Jianyu's room, the Dongguan brigade called a few times, but no one answered. He looked around in surprise, but saw that there was no light in the room, and neither the maid nor the doctor was there. Empty, not even the slightest sound. The Dongguan Brigade was shocked, afraid that Gongsun Jianyu would leave without saying goodbye as Huer said, so he rushed in with a "bang" and ran to the bed, only to see Gongsun Jianyu lying on the bed with his eyes open. The moonlight is so huge that it shines strangely with the faint moonlight reflected in it.

Seeing her still lying on the bed, Dongguan Brigade finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to find someone to help, he heard Gongsun Jianyu say quietly. "You are finally here," her voice was soft, as if it would blow away with just a gust of wind. "I thought you'd never see me again..." This dream-like sound made people not sure whether she was conscious or not. The East Gate Brigade looked down at her with some hesitation, but didn't know how to answer for a moment. "After so many years, I often wonder whether I will see him again..." Gongsun Jianyu said softly, "It's great that you finally came to see me, my dear little Lu."

Dongguan brigade was in a turbulent mood, looking at her beautiful face reflecting the moonlight, and thinking of what happened to her over the years, he finally couldn't help but lay down beside the bed and cried bitterly. Gongsun Jianyu's hands were already crippled, and his movements were not very flexible at the moment, so he could only lightly touch Dongguan Brigade's hair with his arms raised. She looked up at the sky outside the window, tears finally flowed down gently. "Good boy, good boy," she said softly, "don't cry! I'm very happy to see you again..."

She let the Dongguan brigade cry for a while, and then said softly. "Help me up, will you?" With tears in his eyes, Dongguan Brigade nodded, then supported her body and made her sit up. "Come on, let my sister have a look," she said with tears in her smile. "See if my little brigade has grown up?" Dongguan Brigade looked at her with tears all over his face, and saw that Gongsun Jianyu was still beautiful, with a slight paleness on his face, but he was much thinner than a few years ago. "Alas..." Gongsun Jianyu sighed deliberately: "You keep crying, how can I see your face clearly? Come, let me wipe your tears for you."

She said that she wanted to help him wipe away his tears, but she couldn't even lift the silk handkerchief in her hand. Dongguan Brigade quickly stretched out her sleeves and wiped the tears from her eyes, then forced a smile. "I don't cry anymore, my tears are wiped dry, I don't cry anymore." "That's the best..." Gongsun Jianyu said with a faint smile, "My arm is weak, can you help my sister comb her hair?" Dongguan Brigade nodded, quickly found a wooden comb, sat behind her and combed her hair. Although there was not enough light in the room, when Dongguan Brigade combed her hair, she could vaguely see a lot of white hair on her hairline.

I still remember that back then, she had black and shiny black hair, and when she danced with a sword, her hair flew like a cloud and waterfall, but now her hair has countless gray hairs. At that time, Gongsun Jianyu was only twenty-eight or nineteen years old, but she had so many gray hairs at such an age, which showed how harsh and hard she had been in the past few years. "I'm old, right?" Gongsun Jianyu smiled lightly, noticing that his hands were hesitating in combing his hair: "My head is full of white hair, isn't it?" "No," Dongguan Brigade combed gently a few times. "I don't see white hair."

Gongsun Jianyu stopped talking, and the silence between the two lasted for a while before she smiled softly. "Did you know? 'He' is going to get married, and in nineteen days, he's going to get married." The East Gate Brigade gritted its teeth and said reluctantly. "have no idea." "It's funny, isn't it?" Gongsun Jianyu said with a faint smile: "He treats me like that, but I'm still thinking about him. Am I useless? Am I depraved?" "You're not wrong," said the Dongguan Brigade softly, "It's his fault, it's his fault."

"Life! Men and women! In fact, no one is right or wrong," Gongsun Jianyu said leisurely, "I am the one who wants to love him, and no one says he must love me forever." "But if he treats you like this, he deserves to die!" Dongguan Brigade gritted his teeth and said, "Even if he doesn't love you anymore, how can he bully you like this? Not only beat you and scold you, but... also broke your body hand." Gongsun Jianyu smiled lightly, but said nothing. The Dongguan Brigade continued speaking in a hurry. "You are the best person in the world, but he hurt you like this, that's it, he is my biggest enemy in this life!"

Gongsun Jianyu was silent for a long time, and then heaved a long sigh. "Little Lu, do you hate him?" "Hate!" The Dongguan Brigade said without hesitation: "And I must kill him!" "Why did you kill him? Because he hit me and scolded me?" "Not only that," Dongguan Brigade said angrily: "As long as anyone hurts you, I will kill him!" "You...why are you so kind to me?" Gongsun Jianyu asked flatly, "Why are you so kind to me when you kill people for me?" "Because..." The Dongguan Brigade took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage. "Because I like you, as long as anyone makes you unhappy, I will make him pay the price!"

"Do you like it?" Gongsun Jianyu said with a soft smile, "You are just a child, how much do you know about men and women?" "I'm not a child, I'm an adult!" Dongguan Brigade said loudly: "I know what I like, I just like you!" Gongsun Jianyu turned his head slowly and looked at him carefully, as if he wanted to see what kind of expression he had when he said these words. Then, she gently touched her face to Dongguan Brigade, and kissed his lips lightly. "Thank you." She kissed Dongguan Lu, and was about to let go with a light touch. For a moment, Dongguan Lu felt a "boom" on his forehead, and stretched out his arms to hug her, but he refused to let go no matter what.

Moreover, his lips were deeply and heavily imprinted on Gongsun Jianyu's lips, but he refused to let go no matter what. After a while, she felt even more heat in her chest, but it was Dongguan Brigade's hand that reached into her clothes and held her breasts tightly. Gongsun Jianyu didn't have any intention of resisting, just let him kiss wildly obediently, and let his hands move on his chest. It was such an unresisting action, which on the contrary made the mind of the Dongguan Brigade sober up a little under the gallop of lust. With a loud "bang", the Dongguan Brigade suddenly took two steps back and knocked down a chair. The whole person couldn't stand stably and fell down. Lying on the ground, I saw Gongsun Jianyu walking over quietly with tears in his eyes. Then she squatted down slowly, and embraced the head of the East Gate Brigade against her soft chest. She said the same thing again. "Thank you." In her embrace, Dongguan brigade said softly. "I don't want you to thank me, I don't want it." Gongsun Jianyu sighed softly, her voice was extremely soft. "You don't want it? Silly boy, what do you want?" "I don't want you to thank me," said the Dongguan Brigade stubbornly, "I just want you to love me." Gongsun Jianyu hugged his face tightly, but didn't say a word, the two of them just like this, hugging each other tightly like clay sculptures and wood carvings, but didn't say anything. In the early morning of the next day, Hu'er yelled in front of the Dongguan Brigade's room early in the morning. The Dongguan Brigade opened the door with a bang, and saw Hu'er grinning and wide-eyed. Looking at the Dongguan Brigade with a naive look. Perhaps another purpose of that look was to say that I knew nothing and heard nothing last night. But another thing, Hu'er is very clear. "I'll take you to see the base of the bear lovers." The two walked up the street, Hu'er led the Dongguan Brigade around a few times, passed through the crowds on the street, and sometimes had to go through other people's gardens. In broad daylight, he stepped on other people's gardens, but those people seemed to be accustomed to Hu'er's behavior, and most of them turned a blind eye to him. "We do these things in a more secretive way," Hu'er explained, "After all, Dou Ziyu has eyes and ears everywhere in Yingdu City, so we have to be careful." While walking, the Dongguan Brigade looked at the surrounding environment and heard Hu'er's explanation, but it sounded like something was wrong. "You said that the purpose of going around in this way is to avoid Dou Ziyu's eyes and ears?" Dongguan Brigade asked: "But if his power really spreads all over the city, like those people who just passed by, wouldn't they go to ventilate him?" Report it?" Hu'er was slightly taken aback, thought for a while, and then forced a smile. "I just hope they won't! Many of these families support the prince Xiong Lu. Although Dou Ziyu is domineering in the city of Yingdu, there are still many people who really hope that Xiong Lu can ascend to the throne of King Chu! Daddy Some people still hope that the orthodox Chu blood can continue to sit firmly on the throne." Dongguan brigade nodded. "understood." The two walked around a few places and walked out of the garden after a while. Hu'er looked around and led the Dongguan brigade into an alley in a mysterious way before reaching their destination. What appeared in front of him was the charcoal burning field in the capital city of Chu State Ying. The charcoal-burning field was filled with black smoke, and as far as the eye could see, there were a huge number of charcoal-burning workers who were bare-chested and covered in soot, struggling to shovel charcoal. The East Gate Brigade looked at the black smoke burning in this place with some curiosity, Hu'er saw his curious expression, and said a little embarrassedly. "We can only find places like this, because other places are not secret enough, and we don't have the money to maintain them." There are several huts to the east of the charcoal-burning field. Hu'er led the Dongguan Brigade and walked over there. After passing through the huts, a small open space greeted his eyes. It is not known whether it is artificial or natural around the open space. It is surrounded by an earth wall about two people high, which encloses this open space into a small basin. In the open space, there were a few men scattered or sitting or standing, some lazily lying on the ground basking in the sun, and a few even squatting on the ground to draw a map and play chess with small stones. This kind of atmosphere is no different from those guys who butchered dogs and sold wine in Shiwowo. "These people are the heroes that Xiong Lu and I have found," Hu'er said with a forced smile. "We are like-minded, and we will work together to help Xiong Lu ascend to the throne." It's just that the people in the open space seem to be far from the image of "heroes". Hu'er walked over and yelled at the people lying on the ground, and they scratched their heads reluctantly. , stand up. However, at the right end of the clearing, there were three or two men standing upright, holding longbows and sharp arrows, practicing archery against several arrow stacks, which was in sharp contrast to the laziness of the others. Among the men who were shooting arrows, a middle-aged man with a long beard heard Hu'er yelling, turned his head to look, and shouted happily. "Isn't this Xiaodongguan? Dongguan, you're back!" The Dongguan Brigade was taken aback, looked over intently, and couldn't help but smile very happily. The middle-aged man laughed loudly and walked over quickly. "Dongguan Dongguan, you are finally back. My uncle has missed you so much all these years!" This middle-aged man was raised by Qingxuan, who was a master of arrows in Shuiyueju. When Dou Ziyu launched the demon clan to invade Shuiyueju, he relied on the arrow that raised Qingxuan to resist many Dou clans. , The offensive of the demons, the power of his divine arrow at that time, although several years have passed, it is still clearly in the mind of the Dongguan Brigade. Seeing Yang Qingxuan's vigorous expression, Hu'er at the side finally gained some face, glanced at Dongguan Brigade, and smiled very happily. "That day we were in the center of Shuiyue, fortunately we had Uncle Yang's help, so we were able to defeat the demons," Hu'er said with a smile: "Later, Xiong Lu and I returned to Yingdu, and remembering Uncle Yang's ability, we invited him Come here and serve your son." The few people who shoot arrows with Yang Qingxuan are all members of the "Arrow Clan" of the Chu State. The "Arrow Clan" is a very famous family tribe in the Chu State. The army fought between the feudal states, and was able to shoot the enemy's general from a hundred steps away, which has always been the object of the Chu army's heavy reliance. Yang Qingxuan pulled a few members of the Arrow Clan over and introduced them to Hu'er and the Dongguan Brigade. Several of them were still soldiers of Chu at the moment. The Dongguan Brigade and a few members of the Arrow Clan chatted politely, but Yang Qingxuan shouted into the corner unexpectedly. "Shimen! Why are you still slacking off there?" When everyone heard him yelling like this, they turned their heads involuntarily, and saw a big head protruding out a little slowly under the shade of a tree not far away, followed by a fat young man who was relentless. Get up willingly. Hu'er frowned and smiled. "Isn't that Han Shimen? I heard that he is still your relative." Yang Qingxuan stared at Han Shimen helplessly, shook his head and said. "It can be said that he is a relative. He is my elder sister's son, but he lived with my elder sister's husband's family in Cai Guo since he was a child, and he didn't return to our Arrow Clan until he was a teenager. well!This kid is not good, he hasn't learned much in kung fu, his foundation is already far behind others, and when he learns archery skills, he doesn't know how to do it..." At this moment, there was a sudden "wow" beside him, and a child started to cry. Yang Qingxuan turned around with a slightly embarrassed look, and picked up a two or three-year-old runny-nosed boy in a cradle , said in a soft voice. "Don't cry, Jier, don't cry..." Hu'er laughed and said, "Uncle Yang gave birth to a fat boy again? Why didn't I see you bring him here before?" Yang Qingxuan said embarrassingly: "If you are not successful, if you are not successful, you will laugh at me. This is my youngest son, whose name is Yang Youji. My wife usually takes care of him. Now that the family is struggling a bit, my wife is going to help others in the kitchen, so I will take care of the child for a few days. " As he was talking, the child Jier started to cry again, making Yang Qingxuan flustered for a while, and hurriedly put down the longbow, looking for something to fill the child's stomach. All of a sudden, laziness, playfulness, and children's cries resounded in the ears. There was no heroic atmosphere in the entire open space of the charcoal burning field, and it looked like a vegetable market in the market. Hu'er sighed softly, looked at the Dongguan Brigade and said. "I'm sorry to let you see such an embarrassing scene. Our situation is so difficult and difficult, but I just don't believe in evil, and I don't believe that the subordinates of the bears will continue to be so unlucky!" "No," the Dongguan Brigade said comfortingly, "I believe that one day, everything will be fine." At this time, the fat, big-headed man Han Shimen walked over with a smile, looked at the Dongguan Brigade, and said with a smile. "Brother Hu'er, you brought a new companion?" This chubby man seemed to have a very good temper, and he had a bright smile on his face. Although Yang Qingxuan had some complaints about him just now, Hu'er didn't seem to care, and smiled kindly at him. "That's right! This is a good friend Shizi and I met when we were teenagers. Let's call him Xiaolu." This Han Shimen didn't know why, but when he saw the Dongguan Brigade, he was very close to him. Although he was lying lazily under the tree just now, as if he was very loose, but now he was following Hu'er and the Dongguan Brigade, happily Let's listen to Hu'er's explanation of some of the deeds and establishments of the bear couple's subordinates. In the south of the charcoal-burning field, there is still a group of strangely dressed people. Some of these people are holding stones and throwing them on the ground, and some are holding tortoise shells and muttering words. The strange thing is that an old man was sitting on the open space with his eyes closed, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth. The whole person actually floated slowly and stood still in the air. "These people are another group of strange people from our state of Chu," Hu'er explained, "They are members of the witch clan, and they are good at divination and spells." "Divination and spells?" The East Gate Brigade asked with a curious smile, "Is it really useful?" "In the eyes of ordinary people, only old women and people who are frustrated in life will believe it," Hu'er said with a wry smile, "but Xiong Lu is very interested in this family, because what he learned in Biluomen Middle School is This kind of thaumaturgy." When he said this, Dongguan Brigade understood. He remembered that when he was in Biluomen, the strange old man Yiyang Xuanyi once taught the three brothers different thaumaturgy. As for skills, what Hu'er learned was martial arts techniques that bring out the potential of the human body, while Xiong Lu was interested in metaphysical methods such as casting spells and divination. "Xiong Lu said that this type of magic is actually a very profound knowledge, but after many details were lost, it became a superstition to deceive foolish men and women in the village. Over the years, he has had a deep relationship with the people of the witch clan, and he has also learned a lot of strange witchcraft knowledge. Sometimes it is really useful in battles, who knows?Maybe one day they will come up with useful spells, and maybe they will be able to help us fight. " Having said that, he turned his head and looked around, and said loudly to a middle-aged man with long hair. "Hey! Brother Sangmen Dawu." The "Great Witch of Sangmen" was a thin and small man, he gave Hu'er a mysterious look, nodded, and answered him. Hu'er picked up a stone on the ground, about the thickness of two fists. He held the stone in his hand, turned his head and said to Dongguan brigade. "I didn't believe in this kind of witchcraft, but people of the witch clan have some methods to display it, but you can't help but not believe it." As he spoke, he nodded to the "Sang Men Great Witch". "Come on, that's fine."
