    The evening breeze blew by, and occasionally a few dead leaves would fall down, swirling and falling on Li Mu's messy hair.  The white moon was cut into very irregular pieces by the branches with fallen leaves, just like the lines that Li Mu playfully made with a fire hook on the earthen wall of his yard when he was a child. It is simple and rough, but reveals an inexplicable meaning.  flavor.  Li Mu slowly sat down along the tree trunk, casually put the waist knife on his shoulder on the ground, and tapped his leg with some embarrassment.  He hesitated whether to accept the coachman's kindness, but the coachman's honest smile and the faint sour smell in his throat prevented him from saying no.  In the end, Li Mu had no choice but to scratch his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Uncle, how did you know that I haven't eaten? To be honest, I really haven't eaten for almost the whole day." The uncle coachman is honest and honest.  He smiled softly, then stuffed the kettle and wheat biscuits into Li Mu's hands, and said matter-of-factly, "Isn't this simple? When you were still far away, I heard your footsteps. Although it was brisk, it was  It¡¯s a little buoyant and a little messy. It¡¯s something that only happens when you¡¯ve been hungry for a long time You see, I can¡¯t tell you what it is.¡± The coachman didn¡¯t dwell on what he said next.  Say no more.  He continued to pick up a worn but clean piece of cloth, gently wiped the donkey's thigh, and said nonchalantly: "My stubborn donkey is like this too. As long as he doesn't have enough to eat, he won't work hard. Every time he pulls the cart,  They are all stumbling around" "Cough, cough" Li Mu was thirsty and hungry, so he stopped being polite to the coachman and directly picked up the kettle and took a sip. He happened to hear the coachman comparing himself to his stubborn donkey.  Before he could catch his breath, he almost choked on the water and fainted.  "What's wrong with you? You're young, and you'll choke on your saliva no matter how you drink" The driver quickly put down the piece of cloth in his hand, stood up and patted Li Mu's back, mumbling words of concern.  .  Li Mu really didn¡¯t dare to answer the conversation, for fear that if he did, the uncle would talk about their donkey again.  Maybe this stubborn donkey lying on the ground had choked on his drink. Wouldn't it be associated with him again?  Li Mu ate a piece of cake in two mouthfuls, drank a few more water, and then felt a little better in his stomach.  As for the taste of the pancake, because the time it stayed in the mouth was too short, there was no chance to taste it.  Seeing that he was indeed hungry, the driver reached out to fumble around in the bag again, took out another wheat cake, handed it to Li Mu with a naive smile, and said, "Don't say you're full, I don't know what you guys are doing."  Appetite? But you have been hungry for too long and cannot eat so fast." Li Mu had to swallow the words that came to his lips. Based on his experience in dealing with the village elders, if he refused the coachman's kindness,  The other party will definitely be unhappy and think that they look down on him.  What's more, Li Mu is indeed still a little hungry. In such a remote place with no shops, even if he has money, he can't buy anything to eat.  So he had no choice but to reach out and take the pancake, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Uncle, your accent doesn't sound like someone from Chunan, right? It sounds a bit like someone from Yuexi. Why are you going south when you go home?"  "The young man is quite experienced, and he can actually tell that I am from Yuexi." The driver turned his head and looked at Li Mu curiously, licked his lips, and said in retrospect: "I came here almost thirty years ago.  Here. At that time, I escaped from Yuexi to avoid the war. I was walking all the way. I didn¡¯t know what happened, so I ran away from my family. When I was about to starve to death, my child¡¯s grandfather took me in.  He just stayed and didn't go back. "Is it just like soldiers robbing things? It's not like we haven't fought in the Chu Dynasty for hundreds of years. Why is there still a military disaster in Yuexi?"  He couldn't help but be stunned, stopped eating, and asked very curiously.  The coachman shook his head, with a sad look on his dark face, and sighed: "How did I know? I only know that a large group of people on horseback came, killing people and setting fires everywhere, even two or three-year-old babies.  If you don't let go, you are really no different from an animal. At that time, the neighboring villages to us were all burned down. Some people in our village were able to escape because I was naughty and refused when I was a child.  I was sleeping, and when I went out to dig out the bird's nest in the middle of the night, I heard the sound of countless horse hooves in the distance, running towards our village, so I ran back to the village to let the big guys escape" "Uncle, how do you know about those large groups of people?  Are you here to kill people and set fires?" Li Mu listened in confusion, and finally took the opportunity to ask a question that he didn't understand.  The coachman was suddenly stunned. Just when Li Mu thought he was possessed by evil spirits,At that moment, he slapped his thigh and cursed bitterly: "These damn prairie barbarians, these are all damn prairie barbarians! Why have I always felt a little strange for so many years?  How did you know at that time that those people were here to kill people?¡± After cursing these words, the driver did not wait for Li Mu to ask questions, and continued: ¡°Young man, you know where I lived when I was a child is very close to Qiyunguan.  I can understand the words of some prairie barbarians. That night, I just heard those people on horseback shouting in the distance, "Don't let any of them go, the girls from Chu are very smart," and that "It's not easy to get in."  This time, I must have a good time and have a good time when I go back.' I just realized that these people came to kill people and steal things. Unfortunately, I always thought that these people who were robbing people were soldiers of Da Chu. " The driver seemed a little sad.  , stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, and babbled in many dialects that Li Mu could not understand, as if he was missing his hometown, missing his long-lost relatives, and cursing those prairie bandits who robbed and killed Li Mu felt a feeling in his heart.  There was a feeling of sympathy for each other. Both of them were forced to leave their hometowns by "soldiers". The only difference was that the status of the soldiers was different, and the driver was more miserable than Li Mu.  "Uncle, actually I was forced to leave my hometown by those soldiers" Li Mu said bitterly, "Actually oh, I actually didn't do anything. These people are going to arrest me. I really  I don¡¯t know why they wanted to arrest me" He didn¡¯t want to say it at first, but after enduring it for a long time, he finally couldn¡¯t hold it back and had no choice but to let it take its course.  After all, what he had experienced this whole day made him feel very depressed. If he didn't find someone to talk to, he was really worried that he would suffer internal injuries.  "It's almost like the kind of internal injuries a martial arts master gets when he loses his energy during training and goes crazy." Li Mu assured the seriousness of the problem and had no choice but to make up random thoughts.  As soon as Li Mu talked about his experience, the coachman immediately became energetic and began to talk about his experience in the afternoon. The two finally came to the conclusion that those soldiers may be good people, but the officer who looked good-looking must be a  The scum of the army.  "That's just an asshole with a glamorous appearance. He's not as good as you, young man, with a dishonorable appearance what's that" The uncle coachman cursed Feng Yi bitterly, and dragged Li Mu in for comparison.  However, after gesticulating for a long time, there were no extra words to describe Li Mu's current appearance.  Li Mu couldn't help but feel frightened. He was really worried that if the uncle continued to use the excrement of other animals to describe himself, he immediately nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, yes, he is just a donkey shit egg. He looks smooth on the surface."  , after peeling it off, the smell was still overwhelming. " "That's right, that's what it means." Li Mu, the coachman, agreed with his point of view. He suddenly felt like a confidant, patted the donkey's back with some distress, and continued to talk.  He said quietly: "Young man, you don't know. In fact, although I feel sorry for that cart of cabbage, I feel even more sorry for this stubborn donkey. Seeing it being pushed to the ground by those sergeants, if it weren't for a woman and a few children waiting at home,  When I go back, I have the idea of ??going up and fighting for my life. " "That's right, it's just that these people went too far. It's okay to overturn the car. Why did they also hurt the donkey?" Li Mu was injured by the driver!  Infected by his emotions, he temporarily forgot the idea that the stubborn donkey in front of him was actually a plague donkey. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the donkey's back and scratch it gently.  The uncle driver nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. He stood up and fumbled for a piece of whitewashed gauze from the cart. He squatted down and covered the donkey's hind legs, and wrapped it gently with a thin rope.  Li Mu then discovered that there was a large scratch on the donkey's thigh. It looked like the wound was formed after it fell hard on the stone floor and was dragged a certain distance.  It must have been left by the donkey rolling and rubbing on the ground when the sergeants overturned the donkey cart.  I don¡¯t know if the coachman used too much force when bandaging the wound, but the donkey immediately started to bray, and the coachman comforted him for a while. After the donkey calmed down, he sniffed and said, "This stubborn donkey is the one I grew up with from a wolf."  He snatched it back from his mouth and fed it little by little. Although it was a beast that couldn't speak, it was actually a member of our family. If we didn't rely on it to pull carts and grind mills, our family's life would not be as good as it is now.  "It's better." "Wow, uncle, you can actually snatch the meat back from the wolf's mouth. You are really amazing. You are not a martial artist who lives in seclusion among the people, are you?" Li Mu couldn't help but exclaimed and looked at him with admiration.  The coachman said, "You don't even know, weoh, there are many hunting uncles in our village, but they don't have the ability like you." "What kind of masters are you little kids?"?? Random thoughts.  "The coachman didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reached out to gently knock Li Mu on the head. Li Mu giggled a few times, and when he was about to speak, the stubborn donkey suddenly stood up.
