Liu Ye picked up his pants and walked out of the house. He saw Guan Shen, disheveled, sitting at the bamboo table drinking. He went over and sat down, poured a bowl of wine, raised his head and drank it all. He spat out suddenly:

“The wine made by this family is as light as water and has a sour taste. It’s really hard to drink!”

Guan Shen said: "Don't be picky. Let's have some food and drink. Let's go on our way. Now there are troops everywhere outside the mountains. If you show up, you will be arrested. Only by escaping from Ruzhou early can you have a way to survive. I heard that Zhengzhou was attacked several times by the Jin soldiers.

, there are no officers and soldiers now, but we can still do something if we go."

Liu Ye sighed: "Hateful! If we don't go to Zhizhou's home, he will definitely not be so angry and send an army here. Now as long as there are bigger roads, villages with a slightly larger population cannot be reached. We can only walk along the mountain roads.

, it’s too hard.”

Guan Shen had a gloomy face and remained silent. Before joining the army, he was an idler with no great knowledge. After joining the army, he was always at the bottom and did not know the things at the top. Because of this, he did things without scruples. This

He is an idler, which is what later generations call the characteristics of a gangster. As long as he is not suppressed, he is the best in the world and does things without considering any consequences.

Wang Xiaolie is the prefect of Ruzhou and has thousands of troops under his command. How can they be provoked? During this army drill, three thousand troops first rushed towards Zhaoluo Town and were suddenly surrounded. Guan Shensan

With no way out, people had no choice but to flee into the mountains.

After drinking for a while, Feng Zhen came out of the house.

Liu Ye said: "You can't keep that woman. You're about to die, so just chop her with a knife!"

Feng Zhen agreed. He pulled out a simple knife from the side and returned to the house. Not long after, a scream came from the house, but there was no more movement.

The three of them sat at the table and drank, casually using the game on the table to drink. People in the mountains had wine and meat, but they lacked oil and salt and the taste was bland. The three of them drank without fun and were all a little listless.

Watching the sun rise, Guan Shen said: "We can't wait any longer. The sun is rising, let's hurry up. Over the mountains, we'll go to Dengfeng County first."

Liu Ye said hello. He stood up, kicked the table and stool over with his kick, wiped his mouth and said: "When we leave, let's set a fire, burn this place to the ground, and let out the bird's breath! We have been in the mountains these days.

It’s really hard!”

Guan Shen did not comment. He got up and searched around, took two simple knives and a bow, and gave them to Liu Ye and Feng Zhen for self-defense. In addition to cultivating small plots of land, people in the mountains also hunted on a daily basis, so there was no shortage of knives and bows.

Liu Ye and Feng Zhen carried the two male corpses outside the house to the window, lit a torch from the bottom of the stove, and threw them into the house. Looking at the fire, Liu Ye spat. Looking at the fire, the anger in the past few days

It just dissipated a little.

Yu Huan sat under a big elm tree and drank water with a gloomy face. The target of the army drill was originally Ye County. In Ruzhou, it is the farthest away from Liang County in Zhoucheng and guards the north-south artery. It is an important place.

It was also suitable for the army to deploy. As a result, three days ago, the escaped Guan Shen and others made trouble at Wang Xiaolie's house, but they have not been caught yet. The army stationed near Zhaoluo Town for two days, trying their best to capture them.

He ran away from Yu Huan's army. The bigger the trouble, the more shameless Yu Huan became. He took his subordinates and chased him into the mountains.

Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the mountain and said, "Look, there's a fire over there!"

Yu Huan did not raise his head and said in a deep voice: "It is autumn, everything wilts, so it is not unusual to catch fire. I hope it won't be too big."

After finishing speaking, he paused and suddenly stood up and said: "No! Those thieves are fleeing into the mountains these days! Hurry, chase after the fire!"

The soldiers agreed. They quickly prepared their horses and gathered around Yu Huan to get on the horse.

Watching the fireworks all the way up the mountain. Halfway through, I couldn't ride anymore. Yu Huan dismounted and led more than 20 people, and kept moving forward. When I walked to a small mountain col, I saw a thatched hut inside, and the fire was still burning.

.

Everyone went down the mountain and arrived in front of the thatched hut and saw that less than half of it had been burned.

Yu Huan looked around and ordered his soldiers to search the house.

Not long after, the soldiers pulled out three corpses from the ruins and said: "Commander, these three people were all killed. The two men have been dead for a long time, but this woman has been dead not long ago."

Yu Huan stepped forward to take a look. The two men were obviously father and son, and their clothes were in rags. The woman's clothes were torn and her pants had been taken off, so she had obviously been insulted. When she went up and touched the body, she found that the body was still warm.

Yu Huan said: "Look around and see which direction the three people went. There are not many roads in such a mountain. By the way, they must want to escape from Ruzhou as soon as possible, and pay special attention to the road to the north."

The soldiers agreed and went to search separately.

It's not that there are no roads in the mountains, it's just that for outsiders, they can't find the roads. For soldiers, walking in the mountains is a compulsory course, and there are so many people, they quickly find the roads around them. There are not many roads, only two.

One went south and the other went north. After checking the footprints and traces of people walking by, it was confirmed that Guan Shen went north.

Yu Huan sent people back and ordered a hundred people to come and search the mountain carefully. He took more than thirty people and chased north.

When we reached noon, Liu Ye said: "The team is standing, we are tired from walking. Let's take a rest and drink a few sips of wine before leaving."

Guan Shen nodded and sat down under a big tree. Feng Zhen took out the wine and meat he had brought, and the three of them shared the food there.

After taking a breath, Liu Ye said: "In the past few months, the people of Zhizhou have been living in harmony with the people. All the people who fled to the mountains have come out. We go forward, not knowing whether we can see other people. If there are no people, where can we find food?"

Guan Shen said: "Didn't you bring a bow? You can shoot a rabbit and a bird anywhere and you will be full."

Liu Ye sighed: "For those of us who have never hunted before, it is not that easy. I heard people say that hunters are familiar with the habits of their prey. You can tell where you go and where you drink water."

Guan Shen said: "Why are there so many rules? Along the way, we saw a lot of elk and deer."

Liu Ye didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he could only pick up the wine and drink it.

Liquor prohibition in the Song Dynasty was mainly limited to the capital city and local prefectures and counties. Outside the capital city, people could make wine at home. Lu You's poem "Mo Xiao Farmers' wax wine is muddy" refers to the wine brewed by farmers in the twelfth lunar month. Guan Shenji

What I drank personally was the wine I snatched from the hunter’s house. It had a slight smell of alcohol and even rancidity. A few people brought it with them, just as water. The meat they brought was all wild game in the mountains. Not only was it rough meat, but it was

, and there is no oil or salt when cooking it. After two bites, I don’t want to eat it again.

After reluctantly drinking some wine and meat, Liu Ye sighed and stood up.

At this moment, he heard a loud shout above his head, and then the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, heading straight towards him.

Liu Ye was startled and turned around hurriedly. He felt a chill on his arm and an arrow hit his shoulder.

Yu Huan appeared from the mountain and shouted: "You don't have to run away! I have surrounded you from all sides, and no flies can fly out!"
