Carefree plucked another fruit, peeled off its skin and flesh, and was about to smash it when Zhao Dagang grabbed it with his big hand. Zhao Dagang touched the back of his head and said,"This work should be done by me, the younger brother. You're the older brother, so just sit by the side and wait to eat.”After saying that, he picked up the mountain axe and smashed the fruit into pieces.
Carefree saw that Zhao Dagang was full of strength and was afraid that he could not do fine work, so he picked up his long sword and said to Zhao Dagang,"Brother, I'm afraid you can't do this job. Let big brother do it. As a big brother, he couldn't always let his brothers work hard.”
Carefree's words hit the nail on the head. Zhao Dagang was only an only son. He was not very popular since he was young because of his good looks, so his previous life could be said to be lonely. Zhao Dagang and Carefree had lived in similar environments. Although their personalities were different, their moods were the same. They both wanted someone to accompany them to get rid of their loneliness and helplessness.
"Brother, from now on, you are Da Gang's biological brother!”
Zhao Dagang actually knelt down to Carefree and kowtowed three times.
"Hey, brother, get up quickly. I can't take this.”Carefree quickly helped Zhao Dagang up and said," I, Carefree, was an orphan who was neglected everywhere. Now, I have a good brother like you. It should be God who saw that we were pitiful and allowed us to reunite."”
In fact, Carefree's mood was not much different from Zhao Dagang's. He also wished to have a brother. At least he could talk when he was bored. Of course, Carefree had never thought about the situation of flying away when he was in trouble. For some reason, Carefree trusted this brother very much, and Zhao Dagang suddenly had a very close feeling towards Carefree, as if he and Carefree were born in the same mother's womb.
Carefree handed a fruit to Zhao Dagang and said,""Come on, brothers for life. I'll teach you how to do this job.”
Thus, under the joint efforts of Carefree and Zhao Dagang, the two of them ate all the fruits on the tree, leaving nothing but debris under the tree. Carefree clapped his hands and said to Zhao Dagang,"Da Gang, let's go. We must find a place to stay before dark.”
"Big Brother, let's go back to my nest to sleep.”Zhao Dagang seemed to have completely accepted Xiaoyao as his brother.
"Is there anything left in your nest?”
"No, I only have this axe. It was left behind by my father.”Zhao Dagang fondly stroked the mountain axe in his hand.
"Then there's no need to go back. We have to get out of this forest as soon as possible. We can't eat wild fruits every day, right?”Carefree waited for Zhao Dagang to carry the bag and the broadsword in his arms. He went over to take the broadsword and said," I'll take this sword. Brother, although you're strong, there's a mechanism in this sword. If you accidentally touch it, it'll be dangerous."”Thus, Carefree carried the broadsword on his back.
"Big brother, where are we going?”
"To Yangzhou." After saying that, Carefree walked along the winding mountain road." Brother, let's go. If we meet the wolves later, it will be difficult.”Carefree had suffered from the wolves before. He knew that he didn't have the ability to deal with the wolves, so he decided to put aside his previous vow to destroy the wolves.
The dark night gradually stretched out her hands. At the sunset, Carefree and Zhao Dagang sat around a bonfire in a small cave. At this moment, Zhao Dagang was roasting a rabbit on the fire.
"Big brother, what do you think of my craftsmanship?”
"Not bad, it has 60% of your brother's taste.”Carefree bit off the tender meat of the rabbit leg and said," It would be great if there was wine. Without wine on such a beautiful day, the four flavors would be missing."”
"That's right. I haven't drunk alcohol for a month. That alcohol addiction is tormenting me.”Zhao Dagang saw that the rabbit meat was already cooked, so he also broke off a rabbit leg and placed it in his mouth to chew.
"Brother, be more refined. Look at how you eat.”
"Sven? Big brother, you don't know that I didn't even have food to eat in the past. I don't know how to be gentle. I only know that there is something to eat, and I don't care about the wind.”After saying that, he continued to eat.
Carefree shook his head with a bitter smile, then slowly tore a piece of rabbit meat and chewed it carefully.
"Big brother, do you think Yuwen Huaji will take us seriously?”Zhao Dagang wiped the oil off his mouth and asked as he lay on the wall of the cave.
"That's for sure, but I think this guy definitely has other plans. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mobilized so many people.”After Carefree finished eating the rabbit meat, he cleaned up the mess and laid down opposite Zhao Dagang.
"What scheme could he have? Maybe he wants big brother to help him hook up with a woman. Haha, I think as long as big brother takes action, all the women in the world will be loyal to big brother. At that time, I will have several sisters-in-law.”
Sigh, Zhao Dagang was right.
Carefree didn't comment and closed his eyes to sleep.
At dawn, Carefree and Zhao Dagang set off. That afternoon, Carefree and Zhao Dagang were overjoyed. They finally saw a small village.
This village was not very big, with a population of only a few hundred. Carefree and Zhao Dagang spent the night in the village. The next day, they bought some dry food and unfiltered rice wine and set off early in the morning. The villagers told Xiaoyao that the village in Yangzhou was dozens of miles away. If they walked faster, they might reach it by noon tomorrow.
Thus, Carefree and Zhao Dagang walked for another day. At this time, there were more and more pedestrians on the road. The road was full of traffic. Pedestrians came from all over the country and wore all kinds of clothes. Carefree occasionally saw some ethnic minorities.
Carefree and Zhao Dagang passed by a hill and heard the sound of Buddha's bell ringing from the mountain peak. The sound was distant and muffled.
Carefree was curious by nature and wanted to investigate everything around him. So he found a pedestrian and asked,""Little brother, do you know why the bell is ringing on this hill?”
"Are you from another city?" the man asked.
"Yes, I'm Xiaoyao from Wu Xi.”
"No wonder. This area is called Shu Gang, and the mountain in front of you is called Zhongxin. That bell is from Daming Temple. It was said that the abbot, Great Master Liaokong, had passed away. The imperial consort was the adopted daughter of Great Master Liaokong, and she was here to mourn.”
"Oh, thank you, little brother." Carefree bowed to the man.
"No need."
After that person left, Carefree said to Zhao Dagang,""Brother, let's go up and take a look. I've long heard that Yangzhou's Daming Temple is very famous. Now that I'm here, I have to go and take a look.”
"Big brother said so, I won't fart."
Carefree was used to hanging out with Zhao Dagang these past two days, so his reaction to Zhao Dagang's vulgarities was getting weaker. Sometimes, he would just shake his head and smile.
Hence, Carefree and Zhao Dagang went up the mountain.
"Stop! Who are you?"
When Carefree and Zhao Dagang reached the entrance of Daming Temple, they were blocked by dozens of fully armed soldiers.
"We're here for sightseeing. Please make an exception.”As he spoke, Carefree handed over a tael of silver to the soldier. If this soldier was just an ordinary soldier, then he would definitely gladly accept the tael of silver that Carefree handed over. After all, ordinary soldiers only received a little over ten taels of silver a month. However, Carefree was very unlucky this time. The soldier he met had at least three hundred taels of silver a month. One tael of silver was not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
"Go! Are you trying to bribe me?"
Carefree's tael of silver had been thrown into the grass by the soldier, and he would probably not be able to get it back. Xiaoyao asked for a snub. Seeing that the security of Daming Temple was so tight, he gave up on going in to sightsee.
Carefree was about to turn around when he heard Zhao Dagang shouting from behind him,""Bah! Wasn't it just the death of a bald donkey? What was so great about it?”
"How dare you! How dare you insult Master Kong! Take down these two treacherous people!”
As he spoke, Carefree saw a handsome young man holding a sword walk out of the door. This person had a delicate face and an extraordinary appearance. Although his speech was dignified, it made him look even more elegant. Carefree frowned. He knew that Zhao Dagang was in trouble.
Carefree signaled Zhao Dagang not to resist and was surrounded by a few soldiers.
