Chapter 233 The Border is Near
"good!"
"good!"
Zhangtou was still holding down the restless stone, but he soon realized that something was wrong with the person opposite him, and he actually rushed out.
He pressed the stone with one hand, letting him lie on the horse's back, and with the other hand holding the sword, he rushed forward.
The swords collided with each other, making a clang sound and sparks flying.
"Good boy, you have good strength." After just one move, Zhangtou could see that the young man leading in front of him was very strong. Although his moves were not very methodical, what was rare was that he had a fierceness.
This kind of ruthlessness, tinged with a bit of bloodiness, must have come from killing someone.
He put away his contempt and saw that the other party was attacking again, this time targeting his horse, and he immediately became angry.
The sword in his hand stabbed towards the opponent's arm flexibly, but the opponent was agile and dodged it, but the clothes on his arm were cut.
Shitou was tossed around on the horse's back so hard that he almost wanted to vomit out the porridge he had drunk in the morning. It was already in his throat, but he thought he couldn't waste food, so he swallowed it back down.
He looked back and saw people all around him fighting. Suddenly, he heard a cold shout, "Let go of my brother."
Shitou suddenly turned his head and shouted in surprise: "Brother!"
Zhang was confused, but then he looked at the other person's face which looked somewhat like a stone. What was there to not understand?
"I'll say it again, let my brother go! Otherwise." He pointed above their heads. Zhang Tou and others then realized that there were people up there. They had found huge rocks from somewhere on the top of the mountain and were ready to throw them down at any time.
"Brother! Stop, stop, it's all a misunderstanding." Shi Tou was about to pee, and when the stone fell, it didn't distinguish between friend and foe.
If you get hit, your head will probably break.
Next, Shitou jumped off his horse and explained. Lei Zi slapped him on the head and said, "I thought you were arrested. But you didn't come back to report it."
"I promised them that, so I brought them here a day late."
Lei Zi waved his hand and said, "Stop, go back."
As he said this, he led the way.
Tian'er let down the curtain and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately it was a misunderstanding." She also saw the stone on the top of the mountain just now. If it fell down, the carriage would probably be smashed to pieces. She could still escape, but what about Wanxiang and the young lady? She definitely wouldn't run away alone.
Zhang Tou and the others followed behind him. Lei Zi turned left and right and finally entered a large cave. How big was the cave? It could accommodate a carriage. After passing through, the light suddenly became brighter.
Behind a meadow is a clear lake, surrounded by a mess of things and even some vegetable seedlings. It is obvious that these people have settled here.
"You guys know how to find a place." Zhangtou praised.
Lei Zi remained noncommittal. "This place is nestled between mountains and rivers, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Those who are fleeing are all heading towards the capital, but what's the point? So many mouths will just starve to death."
Song Ci, who had just gotten off the carriage, heard these words and felt that this young man was not simple. He saw through such a simple truth at a glance.
The emperor might give out porridge, but a bowl of thin porridge every day is just enough to keep people alive.
Staying here and waiting for the war to end is much better than going to the capital.
"Brother, she is the lady I was talking about."
Lei Zi turned his head and was stunned at the sight.
The girl wore a blue dress, her hair was as black as ink, her lips were like pearls, and the skin exposed at her sleeves was white, smooth and delicate, like solidified fat. The sunlight shone down on her body, enveloping her like a pearl with a halo, her beauty beyond words.
It was the first time Lei Zi had seen such a beautiful girl. She looked like a fairy in a painting. He was stunned by her.
Shi Tou looked at his brother's disappointing performance and gave him an elbow without any hesitation.
"Brother, wipe your saliva."
Lei Zi raised his hand to wipe it, only to find that there was nothing there at all. He waved his hand and was about to hit the stone, "You are kidding me."
Only after Song Ci came up to him did everyone sit down and talk.
Shi Tou told Lei Zi that the other party could cure him. Lei Zi looked excited and asked, "Can you really cure my brother?" He knew how much Shi Tou cared about his appearance and height.
The two brothers are only one year apart in age and grew up together.
When Leizi was five, Shitou was four. When Leizi was six, Shitou was still four or five. When Leizi was fifteen, Shitou always looked four or five. Only then did the family realize that something was wrong with Shitou.
The family was poor, so they saved money to see a doctor. The doctor said that Shitou would never grow up in his lifetime.
Shitou, who was once cheerful and cheerful, had become irritable. He was hated by everyone in the village, even ignoring his own brother. This time, he had decided to lead his men on a raid without warning, a decision he had made despite dissuasion.
"Can."
"I can agree to your request." Lei Zi changed the subject, "But I need to know where you live, your last name, and your first name."
"You may not know my young lady's name." Zhang Tou said.
Lei Zi smiled indifferently, "Of course I'm not worthy. But what if you run away after you succeed? Where can I find you?"
"I understand." Song Ci immediately told the name and address.
"Okay, Miss Song is straightforward."
Shitou, standing nearby, grumbled. He hadn't expected his eldest brother to agree so readily, and he felt a bit uncomfortable. He had gathered so many people and settled down here. There were forests around for hunting, plenty of food, and lakes for water. He had actually agreed to such a peaceful life, just to help him.
After everyone left, Shitou walked dejectedly to Lei Zi's side and whispered, "Brother..."
Lei Zi was stunned for a few seconds and then burst out laughing, "Don't be such a sissy, haven't you been looking forward to seeing yourself grow up for a long time? But don't be too happy, you are definitely not as handsome as me, your big brother."
Stone: "...Bullshit."
Lei Zi and his group didn't have much stuff, so they could set off after spending an afternoon packing.
Before leaving, Lei Zi and the others looked back at this place reluctantly. He couldn't help but say, "You don't have to go with me. If you want, you can stay here and live."
As a result, the surrounding old and young women, children, and men all said in unison, "No, Brother Leizi's business is our business."
"Yes, if it weren't for Brother Leizi, we would have died a long time ago."
In the end, Lei Zi insisted, and all those who were too old or too young stayed, and some women also stayed.
"After we leave, you'd better cover the cave entrance and stay here in peace."
As the separation approached, both sides wiped their tears, but Lei Zi was the most straightforward, "Why are you crying? I'll be back after I send the people over. Then we can go hunting together!"
Seeing this, Song Ci turned around and returned to the carriage.
Tian'er muttered, "This person is not simple. He knows that going to the border may cost his life, but so many people are willing to go with him."
"If it weren't for the lack of opportunities, this man would be a great candidate for military campaigns." Being ruthless, decisive, and able to rally the people are essential qualities for a commander. This man possesses them all.
