(19) Summer

A full moon came quietly outside the window, and the hazy light swept through Zhang Chu's harem, which had not yet disappeared. The guards outside the door had already started to doze. A rooster crow suddenly came from the distance, which was so shocked that the guards shook their bodies, stared at them with wide eyes and looked around, and then continued to bow their heads and be confused.

A sound of tying and tying came from afar. The shrill voice of the old man who beat the more tying and repeated, "It's safe!" It's perhaps the greatest wish of ordinary people.

In Dingzhou, the same moonlight, the same night, the same fierce white clouds, the same fierce as the dragon and tiger, also fought all night.

The rooster sang the world was white, the people who had not had a sleep for a long time began to rest, and the people who were rushing to make a living began to work. After the afternoon harvest, the outside of Dingbian City was vast and the couple who had gotten up early secretly chewed their mouths under the willow tree at the entrance of the village and touched each other. The woman picked up her clothes and walked towards the riverside. The man looked reluctantly for a while, and then held a book to the wilderness.

This is a small mountain village. There are several broken houses erected under the low hillside. Outside is a bamboo fence. A pair of wild dogs are doing the joy of inheriting the family line as if no one is present at the gate. In the pool not far away, two ducks kiss each other's necks and peck at each other's feathers and swim in the distance. Suddenly, an oriole flew from the tree. They quarreled at the family in front of them a few times, and then spread their wings leisurely.

Everything is so quiet and peaceful, and there is no smell of war. This is how the people are. Their lives are very simple and their requirements for life are very simple. As long as they can have a good meal and go along with a path, they will not make any trouble.

But with such a simple requirement, how many emperors from ancient times can truly satisfy them? Since ancient times, officials have forced the people to rebel, heroes have emerged in troubled times, heroes have saved the people from water and fire, and heroes' descendants have trapped the people in suffering. This is the cycle of reincarnation, a ruthless and inevitable cycle.

It was in such a village on the morning, when the peasant men and women who were resting at sunrise and sunset had just ushered in a new round of sunrise, a gust of dust suddenly rose from the mountain road in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves quickly approached from afar, breaking the peace inside, especially the hurried expressions and hideous faces of the officers and soldiers, which seemed extremely inconsistent with this calm and used to the world.

"Wow——" The leader of an officer in the captain's uniform suddenly strangled the horse's head, and the team behind him immediately stood up in unison, showing the strong quality of the entire team. The captain raised the whip and said to his subordinates beside him: "Go and get the girl by the river for me. I ran so anxiously for the middle of the night, and it's really a bit of a stolen goods."

A slightly calm veteran next to him suddenly came over and said, "Captain Chen, we have a task this time, I think..." Captain Chen is a big and thick man. He knew at a glance that he was a simple-minded and well-developed person. Before the veteran was finished speaking, he said disdainfully: "Old Qiao, you are getting more and more timid as you live. I know that our prefect asked me to come out to catch thieves, but that guy can fly over the eaves and walls. There is no way for so many people in the city to deal with him. What tricks can these few people make in his hands?"

Captain Chen said this, his eyes rolled around for a few times, and then said, "Besides, there are flat horses everywhere outside the city. Where can the thieves run to tell us. Look, he will not be in this direction at all. I guess he will escape west into the mountains. The west is the direction that Team Liu is responsible for. I think we should take a rest here and turn back. Maybe Team Liu has caught that guy."

Old Qiao looked embarrassed. He hesitantly looked at Captain Chen and asked worriedly, "Is this appropriate?"

While speaking, the two subordinates had already brought the village girl who was washing clothes by the river to the front. Captain Chen looked at him and saw that the girl was tender and tender, and she looked pretty gentle. She was happy and no longer cared about Lao Qiao's mother-in-law. He turned over and waved his hand at his subordinates: "What is suitable or not? I said it is suitable. Lao Qiao, open your eyes and look forward. Walking for a long time will be the territory of Dingzhou. If you meet Bai Yunqi's people there, it will be better than the girl in front of you."

After Captain Chen finished speaking, his subordinates scattered and dispersed. Seeing that the situation was like this, Old Qiao had to sigh and sit down. Captain Chen picked up the village girl and rushed towards the low grass. The village girl kept shouting and struggling, grabbing and biting, but she was facing a soldier who was like a wolf and a tiger. At this time, she just called Tiantian and didn't respond, and the earth was not working. What should I sigh?

Captain Chen crawled into the grass, threw the village girl on the ground, and at the same time patted the saber on his waist and scared him: "Why are you crying with a stinky bitch? Is it your blessing to love you?"

The bright steel knife was pulled out and inserted into the ground with a clang. The village girl immediately turned pale and she didn't dare to do anything again. She just gritted her teeth and tears flowed into a river on her face. Captain Chen saw that her threat played a role and immediately said, "Hehehe, my beautiful little girl, my brother will be gentler."

The soldiers outside heard a heart-wrenching scream, and a soldier shouted in a low voice: "One, two, three, stop!"

Captain Chen's body was indeed stiff, he hummed twice, and then lay down softly. The soldier next to him asked, "Hey, Little Li, what are you calling?"

Little Li Zi laughed evilly, then put his mouth into the ear of the soldier in front of him and whispered: "You don't know yet. Our captain is famous for shooting three times. I heard that even the doctor of the Jiang family has not cured it."

After hearing this, the soldiers around him laughed out loud. Little Li pounded his shoulder hard and covered his mouth: "Why are you laughing? If you don't believe me, look!" He said while pointing to the grass. Captain Chen had already walked out with a belt in one hand and dragged the steel knife in the other hand.
