397, [another person]

Fang Chang suddenly asked, "You five of you have been together, why are there only four people here?"

Several people on the table looked at each other, and then the yellow-faced man who was still on the head explained:

"We were originally five people, and we were doing chivalrous and righteousness everywhere. As a result, after the magistrates in various places rebelled, the world suddenly became chaotic. When we walked outside, we encountered a lot of injustice."

"As a result, when we met a group of defeated soldiers, the other party was raging in the village. We stepped forward to stop them. Although many people were rescued, the third brother was still injured and could only stay at home."

"This time, we must first visit our third brother, settle our third brother, and ensure his safety in the war later, so that we can say goodbye to him and go to the rebel army."

Fang Chang nodded.

Then he said to the few people: "I'll go with you, maybe I can help you."

Regarding Fang Chang's sudden request, the three of them confirmed that Fang Chang was trustworthy, so they generously agreed: "It's good, but there is nothing to help. You just need to send your third brother to a safe place. But you are also a hero. If you introduce you to your third brother, he will definitely be very happy."

Of course, the reason why the other party agreed so happily is that the appearance of squareness always makes people feel close and trustworthy is also a major factor.

The two sides had already made a statement, so they called the owner of the shop and asked him to pack up the tables and chairs by himself, and then went out of the shop together.

The shop owner behind watched the five customers walk out and came forward with a rag to clean up.

He glanced gently at the direction where the few people left outside the door, and sighed slightly with hope and expectation.

…………………

Fang Chang and the four of them walked along the official road for a distance, and then left the official road and walked onto the path.

As they walked, the scenery on both sides became more remote and more desolate. The road under their feet became more and more rugged and difficult for ordinary people to walk.

Of course, such a place is not a place that military strategists must fight for, and even the defeated soldiers are unwilling to come, so there are still complete traces of harvest in the small farmland that can be seen by chance. There are no traces of abuse in the scattered houses that can be seen by chance.

The people who can be seen on both sides have a good face, but they are relatively peaceful, and there are fewer sorrow and fear.

However, seeing the four powerful men with weapons passing by in this group, the people still quietly retreated silently and disappeared quickly, or just stood in a distance and watched without saying a word, without much movement.

It seems that this place is still safe. No wonder their third brother lives in seclusion here, but the yellow-faced man next to him said:

"My third brother's home is here. Although it is remote, the surrounding scenery is good. After we joined the ranks, we often visited here and built a pavilion on the hillside. Now we haven't been there for two or three years. I wonder if the pavilion is still standing."

Well, it turns out that they have also done handicrafts on the mountain.

While talking, Fang Chang had already followed them to his destination.

It is actually a bit good, but it doesn't seem to be meticulous in the care. There is a small courtyard on the hillside, which covers a small area, but it is built very neatly, and it looks like a well-off home.

The four people Fang Chang met before had already introduced him to him.

The eldest son, the yellow-faced man, was originally a child from an ordinary family in the city. He learned some basic martial arts, but he was still eager to be righteous and did not go along with the gangsters in the city. So before he met the other few, he always worked alone to support his family. The second-ranked boys and girls, he was originally a troupe actor, but he learned a lot of real skills from the master who played the role of the martial arts player, and he was very good at kung fu. In the end, the fourth and fifth brothers were scholars in the school. They practiced martial arts together since childhood and studied together. In Fang Chang's opinion, their relationship style was a bit like a happy enemy, and they often quarreled. Although it was said that they were sisters and brothers, after calculating slightly, the marriage line between the two was very obvious.

The third brother, whose ancestors were officials and was said to be quite honest, has always lived in this remote place. However, his family still has a lot of savings, and there are several shops in the city, so he has no worries about wearing and using them. The few acres of land in his family are just planted and eaten by themselves.

According to the man who was leading the yellow-faced, his third brother once said that this was the ancestors who wanted to maintain the dignity of "farming and studying and passing on family members", and also hoped to use this environment to make their descendants improve their studies and hope that they could "create glory again."

The result was naturally very failure. By the generation of his third brother, no one was awarded the imperial examination again.

However, in addition to studying and playing the piano, his third brother also fell in love with dancing guns and sticks, which disappointed his family.

When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I saw the door of the courtyard in front of me.

The four people next to Fang Chang pushed the door open and walked in with great familiarity, so Fang Chang also walked into the courtyard.

The courtyard is simple but not simple. The road built with bricks is very flat. It extends from the gate to the main house and divides several branches to lead to other buildings. In the soil on both sides, there are a few small vegetable patches neatly opened, with some green leafy vegetables planted inside, and some radish tassels exposed on the ground.

The surrounding courtyard walls are covered with ivy. They are very cold-resistant. Now in late autumn, they are just a little dim and still keep green. A large pottery tank is placed in front of the main room, with goldfish swimming inside, the walls of the tank are covered with moss, and a few goldfish algae are coiled in the tank.

The sun shone into the room, and their third brother was sitting alone at the table, gently stroking the strings. His hands were scarred and his fingers were tilted abnormally, and he was obviously seriously injured and unable to recover.

The expression was full of attachment, nostalgia, reluctance, and regret.

Just like a peerless master who retired from the world, he is stroking his own dust-covered sword.

Hearing the movement in the yard, he raised his head after two breaths. When he saw the visitor, he was overjoyed: "Brother, second brother, fourth sister and fifth brother, why are you here? Come in quickly!"

"Third brother, we're here to see you." The yellow-faced man in the lead smiled, and then the five of them walked into the house together.

"What is this?" The third brother asked in surprise when he saw Fang Chang following behind.

"The hero, Fang Daxia, I met by chance on the road. He once came over from the rebel army. We met by chance while eating on the road. I heard about you and insisted on coming over and taking a look." The yellow-faced man always had the majesty of his elder brother whenever he was a big brother. He took the lead in introducing to both sides, "Share Fang, this is my third brother."

Both sides bowed and bowed, said they would meet each other, and then went into the house to take a seat.

"Second brother, please go and cook some tea for everyone." The third brother said, and then the young man with a boy and a girl immediately stood up and started a fire and boiled water familiarly.

“大哥,你们这次过来,所为何事?”

The third brother asked, he knew that the situation outside was not important, they didn't have time to come and visit.
