At the foot of the mountain in Sujia Village, two new tombs have been added, one large and one small, facing each other. Directly in front of the tombs, there are two wooden plaques without any writing.
Wherever the breeze blows, the weeds hang low, making the place look desolate.
There were three people standing in front of the grave, all with sad expressions and tears in their eyes.
Su Ling gently stroked the wooden sign in front of the small grave and whispered: "Lan'er, you will be here from now on. Next to you is Brother Ang Shu. Brother Ang Shu is as good as Brother Su."
It’s good for you. You two stay together so that we can be companions..."
Dian E looked at Su Ling, walked to the big tomb, and sprinkled the pot of wine in his hand on the ground. The aroma of the wine spread straight into his mind.
"My eldest son...I, Laodian, want to take you back...but this place is too far away from Yecheng. You should sleep well here first...wait for the chance."
, Lao Dian will definitely come to pick you up in person."
"My eldest son, Lao Dian invites you to drink!"
The three of them paid homage again, then turned and left.
Thousands of miles of miserable wind blew the loose sand on the two tombs and carried them to unknown distances.
Thousands of miles of lonely tomb, no place to speak of desolation.
Su Ling, Du Heng and Dian E came to the entrance of Sujia Village. Su Ling and Du Heng looked back with nostalgia at the place where they once lived.
The small village was not big, but it was warm. There were not many people in the village, but it was simple. Now, everything has disappeared.
"Let's go..." Du Heng patted Su Ling's shoulder gently, seeming to comfort him.
Dian Eilai turned around and asked, "Boss Su, where do you plan to go?"
Su Ling said: "Go to the mountains to find my parents, Uncle Du and Aunt Du."
Dian Eilai nodded and said, "The Sujia Village has been destroyed. You have found your family and have nowhere to go. Why don't you all come with me?"
Su Ling suddenly smiled coldly and said: "Follow you?...The world is as dark as crows. Don't forget that those defeated soldiers also belong to your Cao Sikong family!"
Dian Eilai looked stunned for a moment, then said after a while: "Boss Su, this is an accident. They are defeated soldiers, so naturally it is difficult to restrain them."
Su Ling said coldly: "What if we lose the army? Then we can do whatever we want and massacre the people? This battle itself does not need to be fought. The eldest son and Cao Anzhong could have survived. It is not because of your family's Sikong sex that makes people faint and insists on sleeping with others."
Widow aunt, how many lives have been costed by this sleep!"
Dian Eilai wanted to say something else, but Su Ling waved his hand and said, "You don't have to explain to Dian, I'm not angry with you, you're a man! It's just that I won't go with you."
Dian Eilai thought for a while and then said: "But the eldest son's letter said that he asked me to take care of you..."
Su Ling said calmly: "Your eldest son and I have just met each other, and I can't bear it!"
As he said this, he walked towards the mountains without looking back. Du Heng glanced at Dian Eilai, who gave him an awkward smile.
Du Heng spread his hands and said helplessly: "Brother Dian, don't worry, I will try to persuade my brothers."
After saying that, he also followed. Dian Elai touched his big head, like a child who had done something wrong, and followed silently.
The three of them walked through the deep mountains and old forests, looking for traces of their families.
"Dad...Mom, Uncle Du!..." Su Ling plucked the weeds in front of her and shouted in a low voice while clasping her hands.
Du Heng and Dian Eilai also acted in the same way, and Dian E's words were actually the same as Su Ling's. He was as tall as an ox and had a stooped look, which was very funny.
Su Ling felt that it was too much to vent her anger on him, so she smiled and said: "Lao Dian, I am calling my parents. What do you call your parents? They are not your parents."
Dian Eilai chuckled and said: "You can shout, but I can't shout? Besides, even if I shout to others, they will hear me and don't know it's them." After that, he shouted again at the top of his voice.
.
Su Ling shrugged and simply let him shout like this. Anyway, that awesome voice was so powerful that it would be useless if he kept it.
The three of them looked for help and shouted, and they had already entered deeper into the mountain.
I don't know how long they have been searching, but the three of them are extremely thirsty. Yesterday it was cloudy, but today the sun is shining brightly. The weather is also competing with them.
Suddenly a dark cave entrance flashed before their eyes, and the three of them looked inside. It was extremely dark inside the cave, and they could not see anything. They only felt extremely damp and faintly cool.
"Are they inside?" Du Heng looked at Su Ling and asked.
Su Ling thought for a moment and said, "Go in and take a look."
The three of them dived into the hole.
The cave was extremely dark, and the surrounding earth and stone cave walls were extremely damp. Occasionally, a few drops of water condensed due to moisture gently dripped and hit the surrounding stones, making a clicking sound, making it even more empty.
Dian Eilai took out the flint from his arms and rubbed it with a little sound.

With.
Under the dim light, the three people walked slowly, their silhouettes stretched so long, and the cave became dim and bright.
Suddenly, Su Ling felt the figure in front of him flicker, and there seemed to be a faint metallic wind rushing towards his face.
Behind him, Dian Evil came with quick eyes and quick hands. He had already taken one step past Su Ling, ignoring the whizzing metal light and shadow, and just pushed forward with a flat palm.
The attacking figure was hit by a palm and took five or six steps backwards. He became unsteady and fell to the ground. The weapon in his hand was also released with a crisp sound.
Dian Eilai said in a cold voice: "What kind of birdman is attacking in secret?"
Under the faint light of the fire, Su Ling and Du Heng exclaimed at the same time: "Uncle Du!" "Dad!"
Dian Eilai was startled. This time he took action first, and instead of ignoring him, he actually hit one of his own! This is so unlucky.
Du Heng and Su Ling helped Du Jing up with all their hands. At this moment, there was a sound in the cave, and three people walked out. The first one also took a simple knife, followed by two women.
Su Ling looked and saw that it was his father Su Ji, and behind him were his and Du Heng's mother.
Seeing that it was his son, Su Ji threw away the knife, held Su Ling in his arms and said in a voiceless voice: "My son, why are you here? I thought you and Du Heng were already..."
It’s okay now that everything is fine...that’s fine.”
The two women behind them each pulled Su Ling and Du Heng into their hands and pampered them for a while.
Dian Eilai just looked at this group of people, smiling foolishly.
Du Jing asked Du Heng the reason, and Du Heng said that Su Ling told him to hide in the mountains, and he and Su Ling sneaked to Wanyang City.
Du Jing's eyes suddenly filled with light when he looked at Su Ling, and he said to Su Ji in a loud voice: "What's up, brother Su? I'll tell you that your boy Su seems to be different from others after he woke up after falling into the river. Now it seems that he is indeed different."
Fulfilled.”
Su Ling hurriedly covered it up: "I just wanted to go to Wanyang City to have fun, it just happened by accident."
Su Ling hurriedly pointed at Dian E who was standing not far away and said, "Dad, Uncle Du, Du Heng and I are fine. Fortunately, Dian E came and Brother Dian came to help."
Su Ji, Du Jing and the two ladies hurriedly came over and saluted. Su Ji recognized the big man at a glance as the tenant who had lived in her house a few days ago.
Dian E came to the scene and said with a smile: "I can't help you! It's Mr. Su who is the best on his own."
When Du Jing heard that Su Ling said that the big black man was called Dian Eilai, he looked sternly and said, "The strong man is named Dian Eilai. Could it be that Dian Eilai who is the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Guard under Cao Sikong?"
Dian Elai hurriedly said: "Yes, you know me, you are very good at it. Someone else would have been unable to stand up after being slapped by me, but you recovered so quickly, and the knife you just struck was so fast and tight,
It feels quite like our sharp swordsman fighting in Baihe."
Du Jing was startled for a moment, and seemed to cover it up by saying: "If you can't get to the main hall because of the crop handle, you can't be defeated by a strong man."
Everyone had seen it, but fortunately Aunt Su and Aunt Du took a lot of dry food and water before leaving, and the three of them ate a lot. Dian E came and grabbed the pancakes, one in each mouthful, and in an instant, he had devoured five of them.
Next, it made everyone laugh.
After eating the dry food and resting for a while, Su Ling and the others recovered a lot of physical strength, and then everyone stood up.
Dian Eilai said again: "Brother Su, I think you should follow me back to Yecheng. If you don't want to go, you can also settle down in Longtai City in Kyoto. Anyway, the two places are not far apart, so it's convenient for me to find you.
"
Du Jing and Su Ji didn't speak, they both watched Su Ling make up her mind. After these things happened, Su Ji felt that her son was different from the past and was becoming more promising.
Su Ling smiled faintly and said: "We appreciate your kindness, Lao Dian. We are just country villagers. Yecheng and Longtai are both big cities. We are used to being wild. If we can't get used to living in big cities, we won't go. Why don't we go there?"
In this way, we will find a place to settle down first, and if one day we can no longer survive, Du Heng and I will find you."
When Dian E came to see Su Ling, he had made up his mind and no longer forced himself. He immediately smiled and said, "Well, when you and Du Xiaozi come to Yecheng, I, Lao Dian, will treat you well with wine and meat!"
Su Ling and Dian Eilai looked at each other and laughed.
Dian Erlai, Su Ling, Du Heng and others came out of the cave. Dian Erlai then said goodbye to everyone and went down the mountain alone.
Looking at the big black man who was gradually going away, Su Ling suddenly felt that the figure of this big black man was becoming more and more heroic, with a little bit of cuteness in his heroism.
Take care, old man!
After Dian E came and left, the Su and Du families gathered together and discussed where to go next. Sujia Village was already destroyed, and the neighboring villages Lijia Village and Chengjia Village were probably not much better. Everyone was talking about it.
Discuss where to settle down next.
Du Jing and Su Ji asked what Su Ling meant. Su Ling spread his hands and said helplessly: "Dad, Uncle Du, you are elders and are well-informed. I... still
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
never mind."
Du Jing nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Su Ji seemed to see through Du Jing's thoughts and asked, "Brother Du, do you want to go there?"
Du Jing nodded and sighed: "Although you and I have washed our hands in a golden basin and retired to Sujia Village for more than ten years, I still often think of the days when we rode horses in the mountains and rivers. Why don't we go back, Marshal and those brothers?
I'm thinking too hard."
Su Ji was also a little distracted, and sighed: "Oh, I have been in a daze for more than ten years. I originally thought that I would have nothing to do with them, but now... Brother Du, please think about it."
Du Jing seemed to have made up his mind and stood up and said: "It's decided, let's go back. The worst we can do is start all over again. Our brothers were also famous there back then."
Seeing this, Su Ji nodded gently.
When the two ladies saw that their husbands had made a decision, they couldn't say anything else and packed their things silently.
The two monks Su Ling and Du Heng were confused by this commotion, and both asked in confusion: "Dad... what are you talking about, where are we going?"
Su Ji came over, patted Su Ling on the shoulder and said: "Go to Jeju, Qingyan Mountain, north of Huangshui!"
Du Jing also came over and said: "Now that things have happened, some things can no longer be hidden from you two. Mr. Su, your father and I are not actually villagers of Sujia Village. We just came here more than ten years ago."
"What?" Su Ling and Du Heng looked in disbelief.
Su Ji nodded and said, "Have you ever heard of the Qingyu Army more than ten years ago?"
Su Ling looked confused, but Du Heng thought for a while and said: "I seem to have heard the old people in the village say that more than ten years ago, there was a great turmoil in our Jin Dynasty, and there was a man named Ming Wang Celestial Master.
Zhang Taiping rebelled against the imperial court by relying on a book of heavenly magic that he claimed to have come down from heaven. In a few years, he developed hundreds of thousands of people and conquered prefectures and counties. They were later wiped out by Huangfu Jun, the hussar general of the Jin Dynasty. Their people
They all have three blue bird feathers on their heads, and they are called the Green Feather Army."
Du Jing and Su Ji nodded, and Su Ji said: "Your father and I are both members of the Qingyu Army, but we are Zhang Heishan's subordinates. Later, Zhang Taiping was defeated, and Zhang Heishan led his troops to fight at Qingyan Mountain in Jeju.
He calls himself Commander Qingyan, and has seven to eight thousand men under his command, known as the Qingyan Army. And your father and I are the two commanders of the Qingyan Army."
"That's it!" Su Ling and Du Heng both looked at their father in surprise. Su Ling didn't expect that his father Su Ji, who had always been honest and honest and did not dare to say a word after being bullied to the point of being bullied, would actually have this little-known layer.
Su Ling's heart was filled with confusion. Who is following whom? What kind of deity is this mirror image of? How did I get to this human world? It's going to be exhausting for me to sit in the right place.
"Then why haven't dad and Uncle Su always been in the Qingyan Army?" Du Heng asked.
Du Jing sighed and said: "Back then, the imperial court was encircling and suppressing the Qingyan Army. The Qingyan Army was still... Uncle Su and I were disheartened. We bid farewell to Commander Zhang Heishan and took off this army."
After all, whether they are Qingyu Army or Qingyan Army, they are all rebellious thieves according to the laws of the imperial court... Although the world is in chaos now, no one cares about thieves or soldiers, in the eyes of the people
, there is no big difference between thieves and soldiers, but at that time..."
Su Ji hurriedly stopped and said, "This is why in Sujia Village, I repeatedly asked you not to cause trouble, and your father did not resist even though he was bullied and suffered losses."
Su Ling suddenly nodded in realization.
Su Ji sighed: "Now that we are desperate, who would have thought that we would have to go back to the old path of the Qingyan Army."
After everyone agreed, Du Jing said that this place is far away from Jeju, and we don’t know what year or month we can walk by foot. Let’s go down the mountain first, rest at the nearest town store, and buy a few horses and a carriage, which will make the journey easier.
.
Su Ji and Du Jing asked the two ladies to put together the money they carried and counted it. Good guys, although they were leaving in a hurry, fortunately Du Heng told them to bring all the valuable things with them, and the two families were able to make a whole lot of money together.
Eight hundred taels of silver.
Of course, more than 700 taels of it belong to the Du Jing family.
Su Ji said apologetically: "Brother Du, I don't have enough money for this expense. I'll just wait until later..."
Du Jing smiled nonchalantly and said, "What are you talking about? Our two families are one family now!"
Su Ling felt a little helpless. Others started as the emperor, prince, general and lord. Even if he is a loser in reality, if he comes here and defeats everyone based on his identity and has no opponent, it will be fun anyway. I will start as a bandit anyway? Can I still do it?
More sad? Brother author?
Everyone then packed up their gear and headed down the mountain towards Qingyan Mountain.
