Chapter 42: Shifting the Grinding Plate and Meeting Zhang Fei Again
Chapter 42 Moving the millstone and meeting Zhang Fei again
After finally saving the Zhao Lei brothers and sisters, Xia Houlan left. However, Xia Houlan's departure had no other impact except a slight sorrow of separation for Liu Zhang. Because Liu Zhang could see that although Xia Houlan's utilitarianism
Hidden, but still there. There will definitely be many temptations, big and small, in the future. With Xia Houlan's character, he may not be able to resist those temptations. These brothers and sisters are Liu Zhang's confidants. If Xia Houlan is here, Liu Zhang will not be able to resist them.
Knowing how to treat him, treating him well is not worth it, and treating him badly is easy to rebel. It is really a dilemma. Now that Xiahou Lan is gone, Liu Zhang has no worries.
Zhao Lei may have resisted fiercely when the bandits invaded. When Liu Zhang found him, he was already dying. Zhao Yun's sister Zhao Yu, who is only eight years old this year, has been taking care of Zhao Lei like a little adult until
When he saw Zhao Yun, he cried like a tearful person. Not to mention Zhao Yun looked distressed, even Liu Zhang's heart seemed to have been cut several times. However, Liu Zhang did not embarrass Zhang Jiao because of this incident. After finding everyone in Zhaojia Village,
Liu Zhang let Zhang Jiao leave, asked Huang Xu to return the thousand troops of Changshan County Governor, and asked the Jizhou Governor to lift the restrictions on the Yellow Turban Road.
With Zhao Lei seriously injured, Liu Zhang decided to go to Zhuo County. Zhang Fei lived there. At least let Zhao Lei recuperate first. Otherwise, Zhao Lei would have to go to Jixian County. To be honest, Zhao Lei was able to go to Zhang Fei's house because of
Zhang Jiao wanted to please Liu Zhang. If Zhang Jiao had not taken action, Zhao Lei would have died before leaving Julu County. This made Liu Zhang feel that it was a pity. If Zhang Jiao did not study rebellion and concentrated on medicine, maybe he could be like Hua
Tuo, like Zhang Ji, was famous for his medical skills in later generations.
Zhuojun, in front of Zhang Fei's house. Liu Zhang looked at the door of the house that was no different from five years ago and said: "Huang Xu, come forward and call the door."
"Yes!" Huang Xu walked to the door and tapped the door knocker with his hand.
An old man opened the door and asked, "What do you want?"
Huang Xu saluted and said: "Old man, is your master at home?"
"Not here!" the old man said, "He went to the market to sell meat! If you want to find him, you can go to the market and have a look."
"Oh!" Huang Xu asked again: "Is your young master at home?"
The old man looked Huang Xu over and said, "Who are you looking for? We don't have a young master in our family!"
Huang Xu was stunned, and immediately walked to Liu Zhang and said: "Sir, he said that there is no young master in this family, and the master went to sell meat on the street!"
"What?" Liu Zhang said in shock: "Did something happen to Zhang Fei? Come on, let's go to the market to find Zhang Xiong and ask."
Liu Zhang and his party went to the market, but when they arrived at the market, they found that there was not even half a piece of pork on the pork stall. Liu Zhang was very surprised and immediately asked Huang Xu to find someone to ask.
Huang Xu saw a tea shop opposite the pork shop. There was an old man sitting in the tea shop. He hurriedly walked over and asked, "I'm so polite! Is this the butcher Zhang's pork shop opposite?"
"Exactly!" the old man said with a smile: "Young man, you are not a local!"
"Uh!" Huang Xu was stunned and said, "My father-in-law has a sharp eye!"
"It's not that I'm smart, but the locals know that Butcher Zhang's meat is hard to buy!" The old man said with a smile: "But Butcher Zhang is the most famous pig butcher in Zhuo County, so only outsiders who have just arrived will buy from Butcher Zhang.
Meat!"
Huang Xu asked very puzzledly: "May I ask my husband, why is Butcher Zhang's meat so difficult to buy?"
"In the past, you only had to have money to buy Butcher Zhang's meat. Now, you have to have the ability to buy Butcher Zhang's meat!" The old man said with a smile: "Did you see the well next to the pork stall? There is half a fan hanging under the millstone at the mouth of the well.
Pork, as long as you can remove the millstone, you can take any pork from the well without taking a penny. If you can't remove the millstone, you won't sell it for a thousand gold!"
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Huang Xu immediately reported to Liu Zhang after asking about it. When Liu Zhang heard this, he thought to himself: "Isn't this what Zhang Fei did? Could it be that something happened to Zhang Xiong?"
When he walked to the well, Liu Zhang carefully looked at the millstone at the mouth of the well. He estimated that it weighed about three or four hundred pounds. With Zhao Yun's strength, he could definitely move it away, but Liu Zhang wanted to test his own strength, so he stepped forward and stood still.
, holding both sides of the millstone with both hands, he was so angry that he slowly exerted force in his Dantian, and actually lifted the three to four hundred kilogram millstone.
It's a pity that Liu Zhang didn't have the magical power of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he was much weaker than Zhao Yun. He moved the millstone and threw it aside. He really didn't have the ability to hold the millstone around a few times. In this way, Liu Zhang was very satisfied.
You know, Liu Zhang was a waste in history. Now he can lift a millstone of three to four hundred kilograms, which is already a big achievement. Besides, martial arts is not just about strength!
After removing the millstone, Liu Zhang originally wanted to imitate Guan Yu and distribute the pork to the people. But he suddenly saw a man not far away with a face like a crown jade and greased lips. The biggest feature of this man was that his ears were larger than ordinary people.
.
"Liu Bei!" A cold light flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes. This man was the enemy in his mind. Liu Bei seemed to feel the killing intent in Liu Zhang's eyes, and couldn't help but lower his head. His hands in his sleeves were trembling slightly, as if he was on guard.
.
"Who! Who moved my millstone!" Under the leadership of a servant of the Zhang family, Zhang Fei strode over with fierce fire in his eyes.
The servant pointed at Liu Zhang and said, "He was the one who moved the millstone!"
"Is it him?" Although Liu Zhang is a little stronger than the average person, compared with Zhang Fei, except for his height, there is a big difference. Zhang Fei looked Liu Zhang up and down and said, "This pretty boy can move three to four hundred kilograms."
Millstone? They didn't carry it together, did they?"
"It's really him!" The servant's mouth twitched twice. To be honest, if Zhang Fei hadn't been quite majestic, he would be more suitable to be described as a pretty boy.
"Hey! Why do I feel like you look familiar?" After five years, Liu Zhang's appearance has changed a lot. In addition, he has practiced martial arts for a long time and acquired the essence of Tai Chi. Even his temperament has changed a bit.
The tyranny of the past has become elegant, agile, and has a feeling of immortality. Zhang Fei thought for a while and said: "Forget it! Since you can move the millstone, you should have good strength, let's compete!"
As soon as Zhang Fei's words came out, the people next to him were in an uproar. Liu Zhang felt a burning gaze looking at himself and Zhang Fei. When he looked back, he didn't find that person, only Liu Bei with his head lowered. Liu Zhang didn't want to be exposed in front of Liu Bei.
With his own strength, he smiled and said: "Brother Zhang Fei, it seems that you haven't been beaten enough by me back then!"
"Uh?!" Zhang Fei said in shock: "I think you look familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen you before!"
Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Do you still remember Tai Chi? Back then, we agreed that whoever wins the fight would be the elder brother. Why, now that you meet my elder brother, you actually pretend that you don't know him?"
"Oh! Brother Liu!" Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for four or five years. How are you? Now that you have come to Zhuojun, why don't you come to my brother's house and come to this market instead?"
"I'm not here to find you!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "When I went to your house just now, the concierge told me that there is no young master in your family. I thought something had happened to you, so I wanted to come to the market to ask Uncle Zhang Xiong, but I didn't expect you.
A ring was set up here. I felt itchy for a moment, so I tried my strength. It was okay, no shame! By the way, where is Uncle Zhang Xiong?"
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said: "It is true that the Zhang family has no young master anymore. I am now the master of the Zhang family. My father is gone!"
"What?" Liu Zhang was shocked and said: "How did Uncle Zhang get there? Is there anyone else who doesn't open his eyes? Tell me and I will kill him!"
"Thank you for your love, brother!" Zhang Fei said with a sad look on his face: "In the third year after my brother left, my father unfortunately got seriously ill, and all the famous doctors in Zhuo County were helpless. He resisted for two months and then passed away!"
"Alas!" Liu Zhang sighed and said, "Heaven is jealous of heroes, so you don't need to be too sad!"
"Thank you, brother! Oops!" Zhang Fei shouted: "Please come quickly! Brother Liu is a distinguished guest of our family, how can we talk about old times in the street? Let's go! Come to my place and have a few drinks with me."
Liu Zhang laughed and said, "I'm just here to bother you this time."
"Hi! Brother is a distinguished guest that I can't even invite. How can I call it a nuisance?" Zhang Fei suddenly saw a few people following Liu Zhang and immediately asked: "Brother, these brothers are..."
"They are all my senior brothers!" Liu Zhang pointed at Zhao Yun, and Zhang Ren smiled and said: "Shi A, Huang Xu, you have seen them all! This is my senior senior brother Zhang Ren, and that one is my junior brother.
,Zhao Yun’s courtesy name is Zilong!”
"Brother, I also have a word! Before my master left, he gave me the name Yide, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide!" Zhang Fei suddenly said in a very disappointed tone: "It's a pity that neither master nor father saw me perform the crowning ceremony!"
Liu Zhang patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry! As long as you can stand out, you will naturally be able to comfort the spirits of the two old people in heaven. They will be watching you in heaven!"
Zhang Fei and Liu Zhang were chatting while walking home. When they returned to Zhang's house, Zhang Fei realized that there was another injured person in Liu Zhang's car. He quickly sent someone to ask a doctor to give Zhao Lei a good diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the Zhang family was
The meat seller, under the dual treatment of diet and medical treatment, Zhao Lei's injuries began to recover at a miraculous speed. Zhao Yun naturally thanked Zhang Fei profusely. Zhang Fei waved his hand and said: "The brother of the Liu family is me.
Zhang Fei’s brother, everything is as it should be!”
After staying for more than ten days, Zhao Lei's injury was almost healed. Liu Zhang called Zhang Fei and asked: "Yide, what are your plans in the future?"
"This..." Zhang Fei looked at Liu Zhang and said, "Brother, I am a fool. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"You are not stupid, you are very smart!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Your father should have told you my identity!"
Zhang Fei nodded and said nothing. Liu Zhang asked again: "Are you interested in starting a career with me?"
"Yes..." Zhang Fei suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, the court is now stable. Apart from Karasuma and the Huns occasionally invading the country, what else can be done?"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Isn't Wuwan our cause? I beat them so that they dare not invade the territory, take their cavalry for my use, and then help the Han Dynasty and save the world. You know, I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty!"
