Xu Yunyan never thought that one day he would make such a wrong choice.
Seeing the two silly brothers sitting around him holding roasted lamb legs and eating so much, Xu Yunyan felt a little helpless.
"What on earth have I done? I actually accepted you two."
Going back a little bit in time, after Xu Yunyan took control of the two brothers, the two brothers were crying and begging for mercy.
Xu Yunyan was also very playful, "Tell me, what are your names? Are you bandits who robbed homes? Does the government have a criminal record?"
After Xu Yunyan asked this question, the two brothers hurriedly said, "Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me! I make the cows eat grass, and my brother makes the cows go up the mountain. We are all farmers with our duties. This is not allowed." We hunted around the mountain for a whole day but didn't see any prey. Just when we were about to go back, we found a goat and chased him to here, where we saw two ownerless horses on the roadside."
"Is that what happened?"
Xu Yunyan groped his chin, "But seeing how you just looked at the war horses and goats and said they were yours, what's the point of driving away my real master? Have you done many such things before? It's just that they haven't been discovered."
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, the two brothers who were eating cows on the mountain hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare we do such a thing? It's just seeing that you are so young and alone, sir, that we gave birth to this child." The idea of bringing this war horse and goat back is that a little sister in our village has fallen ill, and we are going to get some money for her treatment."
When the two said this, Xu Yunyan was curious, "Is there your village nearby?"
The cows went up the mountain and grazed and nodded quickly, "Yes, our village is to the north of this forest."
"North of the woods?"
Xu Yunyan turned around and saw that there was still a forest to the north of the forest. He couldn't see anything at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little dark.
"Could it be your bandit's lair?"
"No, no, we are serious farmers. To the north of the woods is our Niujia Village."
After the two brothers mentioned Niujia Village, Xu Yunyan felt his face burning.
He is still the elite soldier king of later generations. He has clearly found out that the inn is not far away from Niujia Village, but Niujia Village has not found what caused this trouble. It turns out that he walked to the other side of the woods...
"Where is Niujia Village? In that case, let's go to Niujia Village and have a look."
When Xu Yunyan said this, the two Niu brothers immediately nodded and bowed, "Sir, shall we lead the way for you now?"
After Xu Yunyan let go of the two men, he mounted his own war horse and let the cow eat grass while leading the other horse. The cow went up the mountain, carried the goat, and led the way to Niujia Village.
When Xu Yunyan arrived at Niucun, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.
"Are you sure this is Niujia Village and not a mass grave?"
Looking at the ruins of Niujia Village in front of him, Xu Yunyan was a little surprised.
This is a ruin, right? It looks a bit like a village, but what's the matter with the new tombs next to the village? Are you sure this isn't a horror movie?
Seeing that the moon has quietly appeared in the sky after this period of time, Xu Yunyan felt a shudder.
"Sir, this is our Niujia Village. Liu Heitai recruited us some time ago, but we didn't agree. After going into the mountains to hunt, there would be no one alive in the village when I came back."
After Niu Shangshan said this, he waited for Xu Yunyan's instructions. Niu Chicao suddenly said, "No, there is also the little sister of the Xu family. She is also lucky. She happened to go to the woods to pick mushrooms. Now There are only three of us left in the entire Niujia Village."
"Little sister of the Xu family? Is this the little sister you mentioned who fell ill and is waiting for treatment?
Forget about this for now, let's go see the little sister of the Xu family as soon as possible, but don't worry, Liu Heitai has been executed, and your revenge has been avenged. "
After Xu Yunyan said this, Cow Eat Grass and Niu went up the mountain and hurriedly led Xu Yunyan towards a simple shack ahead.
When I came to the door, I saw a little girl guarding a fire and watching the cows eating grass and going up the mountain. I immediately became happy and said, "It's great that you are back."
The cow eating grass was not as surprised as the cow going up the mountain and looking at the person in front of him. "Hey, your illness is better. I saw you with a high fever this morning. Why are you up now? Get some rest. You see, we have brought the adults back. Tomorrow I can take you to see a doctor if I can’t help it.”
The little sister of the Xu family pouted as she listened to the cows eating grass and the cows going up the mountain saying, "I'm fine, I'm really fine. We're not from a rich family, so there's no need to go to the doctor. Just get through it and it'll be fine." Yue'er was lucky, after a good sleep, her high fever went away."
But after the little sister of the Xu family, who called herself Yue'er, finished speaking, her stomach began to growl.
Following this cooing sound, there were three more similar sounds.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
Xu Yunyan knew what was going on. He pointed to the cow carrying the goat up the mountain and said, "Hurry up and pack up. Let's eat roasted whole lamb."
Xu Yunyan's words made the cow go up the mountain to eat grass and Yue'er were very happy.
By the time a whole goat was skinned, disemboweled and roasted on the fire, Xu Yunyan already knew what was going on and couldn't help but lament.
"They are all poor people. Who would have thought that Liu Heitai's defeated soldiers would be so crazy after their defeat."
But just when Xu Yunyan said this, Yue'er thoughtfully handed a piece of almost roasted mutton to Xu Yunyan.
"My lord, this is for you. You taste it first and see how it tastes."
Xu Yunyan looked at the eighty-nine-year-old child in front of her and couldn't help but patted her head, "She's so sensible."
Xu Yunyan took a bite of the mutton. It was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, moderately salty, and had a light fragrance.
“It tastes good and is well cooked.”
The cows ate grass and went up the mountain. When Xu Yunyan said it tasted good, he hurriedly tore off the two front legs and started gnawing them there. He also grabbed a large piece of meat and sent it to Yue'er.
"Yueer, eat quickly."
However, Yue'er did not take the mutton immediately. Instead, he knelt down in front of Xu Yunyan with a plop.
"I heard from Brother Niu that you are an official. He defeated Liu Heita and avenged our village. I just ask that you can take in poor people like us, and we will treat you like cattle or horses."
This moment made Xu Yunyan a little embarrassed. Seeing the two Niu brothers and Yue'er in front of him looking so serious, Xu Yunyan looked at the mass graves outside the village and sighed.
"Okay, but if you want to follow me, you have to leave here and go to Chuzhou on Huainan Road, but it's far away. I don't know if you can come back to me in the future."
Although the location Xu Yunyan mentioned was far away, what he didn't expect was that after he agreed, the three people in front of him hurriedly thanked Xu Yunyan.
They feel very happy to be alive in this troubled world and have someone who can protect these ordinary people.
