Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 91 Chapter Ninety One

When Li Kui saw Li Da coming back, he got up quickly and said: "Brother, I haven't seen you for many years."

Although Li Da hadn't seen his younger brother for many years, he still got angry and scolded: "What's wrong with you coming back? Are you going to burden others again?"

The old lady hurriedly said: "Tieniu is now an official, and he wants to pick me up to enjoy the blessings."

Li Da heard the jump, and said impatiently: "Mother! You will believe his fart! At the beginning, he killed people, and he made me wear shackles and chains. I went to Xuzhou to kill Zhizhou and many officers and soldiers. A few days ago, the official document arrived and I was arrested at my original place, but I was wanted to be interrogated by the officials. Fortunately, the rich man of my boss interceded for me, saying, "His brother has died for more than ten years." I don't know where I'm going, and I haven't been home. Could it be that the person with the same name and surname pretended to be a villager?" He also sent money for me, so he didn't have to go to court to pursue him. Now there is a list hanging at the gate of the county, rewarding him with yuan to arrest him. He is not dead, but he comes home and talks nonsense."

When Li Kui heard that his reward had risen from fifty guan to ten thousand guan, he felt that he had a good face, and he was not angry. He said with a smile, "Brother, don't be anxious. I'll take you to a place. Wouldn't it be good to live happily?"

Li Da was furious when he heard this, and wanted to hit him with his fists, but he knew he couldn't hit him. Seeing Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu watching him coldly, he didn't dare to say anything, so he left the rice jar on the ground angrily, and walked away quickly.

Li Kui said: "It's not good. Once my brother leaves, he must report to the officials to arrest him. Although I am not afraid, I am afraid that my mother will be shocked. Brother, my elder brother has never seen a big silver. I, leave him to live some happy days."

Cao Cao then took out two large silver coins of 50 taels from his arms, Li Kui took them and put them on the bed, carried his mother on his back and was about to leave.His mother said: "Tie Niu, have you really gone to Liangshan to become a strongman?"

Cao Cao took out his waist card, stuffed it into the old lady's hand, and said, "Liangshan really wants me to wait up the mountain, but if I don't want to be an official, am I stupid to become a robber? Old lady, you just touch my waist card."

The old lady didn't know what kind of waist card, but when she felt the hard one in her hand, she felt relieved and said with a smile: "Tie Niu is honest, he won't lie to me, but unfortunately his elder brother has suffered a lot of grievances for him, so he refuses to believe him. Don't blame your brother either."

Li Kui laughed and said: "If I blame him, I won't leave the 100 taels for him as capital." The old lady was more relieved and happy when she heard that she had left 100 taels for the boss.

At present, Li Kui, with his mother on his back, Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu guarding both sides, went out to look at the path.

He also said that Li Da went to report to the rich man of his employer, and led dozens of dealers, and rushed back home. As soon as he entered the door, he could not see his old lady, but there were two big silver stars shining on the bed. Covered by the quilt, his heart was pounding and he said: "This iron ox left silver, but he still has a brotherhood in his heart, why should I force him? He must go to the village to be happy when he carries his old mother on his back."

Now go out and share with all the dealers, saying that Li Kui has carried away his mother, and he doesn't know which path he took. Seeing that it is getting dark, how can he find him?After hearing this, everyone was too lazy to do anything, so they dispersed and went home.

On the other side, Li Kui was afraid that Li Da would lead someone to chase after him. After all, his own brother, could he kill him?So he just ran to a secluded place with his mother on his back. Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu didn't know the way, so he knew Li Kui was in his chest, and followed him quickly without saying a word.

Luan Tingyu shouted: "I didn't pass this ridge when I came here."

Cao Cao looked up and couldn't help frowning: What a wicked mountain!
But I saw this mountain: clouds at dusk, thick fog, few people, and grass growing; strange rocks and jagged rocks, all of which have the appearance of monsters, towering ancient trees, all like snakes and pythons, and night crows. The whispers are like ghost whispers in the ears, and the whistling of strange beasts is like the soul of a ghost.

Li Kui identified it and shouted: "Ah, but we have arrived at Yiling! If you want to go over the ridge, there will be people over there."

Cao Cao said: "Let the old man stay here, how can we forbid sleeping in the open? Taking advantage of the bright stars and moonlight, I will wait to cross the ridge quickly and find someone to stay overnight."

After the three of them said it, Cao Cao led the way, Li Kui carried his old lady in the middle, behind Luan Tingyu Hall, he walked up the hill step by step, and the old lady said on Li Kui's back: "My son, I probably ate too much salt today, and now I am thirsty. .”

Li Kui smiled wryly and said, "Mother, there is smoke and fire coming from my son's throat, and wait until you cross the ridge to find someone, and find water for you to drink."

The old lady said: "Duan's thirst will kill my mother."

Li Kui hurriedly said: "Then you bear with it for a while, son, then go to find water." Looking at the pine tree and a piece of bluestone, Li Kui let his mother sit on the stone, leaned his whistle stick against the stone, and said, "Both of you Brother, take care of my mother, and wait for Tieniu to find water."

Cao Cao said: "Don't worry, go, I can hear the sound of water over there."

When Li Kui heard that it was indeed the sound of running water in the stream, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and even ran and jumped for a while and then disappeared.

Here, Cao Cao and his wife took care of Li Kui's old lady. Seeing her sitting alone in the shadow of a tree, she looked thinner and withered, so they said something nice to make her happy.

The old lady cried out and said in shock: "The wind penetrates into the bone marrow, but it is not a ghost!"

Luan Tingyu and Cao Cao glanced at each other, both clenched the whistle sticks in their hands, one on the left and the other on the right to protect the old lady in the middle, Cao Cao comforted: "Don't be alarmed, old lady, let us leave a man with a strong yang spirit, and ghosts will not dare to invade. .”

Luan Tingyu said in a low voice: "Brother, be careful, this wind is coming in a strange way."

The two were on guard, when suddenly there was a loud roar from the landslide, the souls of both of them trembled, and they looked around in horror, but there was a giant tiger with a white forehead and dangling eyes standing proudly on a rock not far away!
The tiger was huge. Cao Cao had hunted many tigers in his previous life, but he had never seen such a big one.

At this moment, looking down at the three of them from a high position, the tiger's eyes were shining with green light, and the waning moon was reflected behind it.

What a hero is Luan Tingyu?At this moment, he couldn't help but feel sore in his calves, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, how can there be such a big tiger? Could it be that he has become a fine tiger?"

Li Kui's old lady was surprised: "What is it? Is it a big bug?"

Cao Cao was also secretly shocked, thinking that without a strong bow and steel fork, how could these two sticks fight a fierce tiger?Even my family Erlang has the brave reputation of killing a tiger with his bare hands, he also told me in private that it was a fluke.

He still forced himself to comfort Li Kui's old lady and said: "Don't be afraid, old lady, he is a half-grown tiger cub. After brother Luan and I skin him and make you a mattress, it won't be cold in winter."

I don't know if the tiger has really cultivated into a spirit monster and can understand human speech. Just as Lao Cao was about to use it as a mattress, the tiger roared loudly, lowered its figure slightly, and with a whistling sound, protected against a strange wind, it came straight from the rock. Jumping down, the distance from the three of them was only two or three feet away, the huge mouth was slightly opened, revealing the two-inch long fangs.

As they got closer, it became more and more obvious that the tiger was strong and strong, its claws were the size of a human face, its four legs were thick and powerful, its tail was like a steel whip, its beard was like a halberd, and its eyes burst out. Shoot endless ferocity.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "Brother, this must be a fierce tiger that has eaten human flesh, so it is not afraid of people. But my brother, why not be a fierce tiger walking in the world? There is no need to be afraid of him."

When Cao Cao spoke, he stared at the tiger without turning his eyes, thinking that if it pounces, I will die if I don't get out of the way.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he suddenly danced a stick flower and took a big leap forward. The tiger was startled slightly, and took two steps back.

Seeing that the tiger no longer pays attention to Mrs. Li Kui, Cao Cao was slightly relieved, and thought: "Rather than wait for it to pounce, why don't I fight it first!"

At this moment, his chest was open, and he had no fear at all. With a whistling sound, he kicked a stone the size of an egg towards the tiger's face. Hey, he clasped the whistle stick tightly with both hands and smashed it down on his head. The whistle stick had a hole in one end and made a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound.

There are different teachings: the tigers in Yizhou are as huge as monsters, and the heroes in Yanggu are not tall.When they met on a narrow road, they struck first, and the wind swept through the sky.
