    "Uh-huh, uh-huh," several energetic donkey brays sounded out, like an old woodcutter, cutting through the silence of the night.  Li Mu was about to reach out and scratch it again, but was frightened by the cry and his hands trembled. Only then did he realize that the donkey actually opened its mouth and smiled at him.  Li Mu thought he was dazzled and blinked his eyes hard several times. When he looked at the donkey's head again, the donkey had ignored him and was eating the beans in the driver's hand with his head lowered.  After the stubborn donkey finished eating, the uncle driver also sat down against the tree trunk and continued the topic: "At that time, I just felt that this little donkey was very pitiful. It was bitten until it was covered in blood, so I rushed away with a stick.  He went up and knocked the three hungry wolves away without hesitation. " "Isn't this powerful? Three hungry wolves" Li Mu shook his fist and fully expressed his respect, "You sir.  He must be a master of martial arts who has lived in seclusion. As Mr. Xilou said, 'dragons and snakes lurk in the grass'! " "You little kid" Uncle Coachman felt helpless at Li Mu's persistence.  Seeing Li Mu's curious look, the driver uncle could only touch his chin and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "It's not like I really fought back. In fact, I was bitten several times myself. In the end, there was really nothing I could do, so I just  I threw the two pieces of meat I was carrying, but they were eaten by two of the wolves. Taking advantage of the opportunity, I climbed up a pine tree with the donkey in my arms. "Isn't it that simple?"  What tricks did you use in the end, such as the 'Heaven-Breaking Stick Technique' and the 'Mountain-Opening Stick Technique', to beat a few hungry wolves until they vomited blood?" Li Mu still didn't give up, and wanted to kill the masters of the world?  The title was placed on the head of this honest driver.  "Of course not" As soon as the driver uncle said this, he noticed that Li Mu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but tremble all over. He was frightened by this young man's persistence.  Without waiting for Li Mu to speak, he immediately continued: "It seems that there was a wolf, and I accidentally injured its eye or something. After seeing the two wolves eating the meat, they ran away into the forest with their tails between their legs.  After the other two wolves finished eating the meat, they saw that I had climbed up the tree. After walking around under the tree for a few times, they followed the injured wolf and left. I don¡¯t know what happened"  Even so, Li Mu could hear the danger at that time, as well as the kindness and bravery of the coachman, and understood why the coachman would rather spend the night in the wild than let the injured donkey continue walking home.  That is his child.  Li Mu could even feel the hopelessness and sadness the coachman felt at the checkpoint in the afternoon, and the resentment towards Feng Yi in his heart couldn't help but become a little stronger.  ¡°Then the two talked about some things, mostly about things at the coachman¡¯s house, and his happy experiences of climbing up trees to dig out bird¡¯s nests and going down to the river to touch loaches when he was a child. They had a lot in common with Li Mu.  The uncle coachman also told Li Mu that when he lived near Qiyunguan Pass when he was a child, the barbarians on the grassland were extremely ferocious. They always wanted to break through Qiyunguan Pass and invade Dachu, and go to Yuexi and Yanbei to burn, kill and loot.  "However, due to the danger of Qiyunguan and the good command of a general named Guo who was stationed at Qiyunguan at that time, the barbarians always returned with bruised heads and bloodshed.  I just don¡¯t know how those prairie barbarians crossed Qiyun Pass that night thirty years ago.  Uncle Coachman has never heard anything about Yuexi since he fled to Chunan. According to his own thoughts, those barbarians may have come in from other paths. It is estimated that they will be defeated by Chu's army not long after.  Come back to the grassland.  After chatting for a while, Li Mu suddenly thought of whether he could learn some skills from the coachman uncle, such as the ability to listen to distant sounds, which would definitely be of some use.  Thinking of this, Li Mu asked: "By the way, uncle, I'm not as good as you Yes, I don't have ears as good as yours. How can I find out whether there are people or horses in the distance?"  ?¡± Ever since he touched the stubborn donkey¡¯s back and discovered that the stubborn donkey was smiling at him, he always had a feeling of trepidation.  Maybe he was thirsty after talking too much. The driver uncle picked up the shiny black gourd, raised his head and took a sip of water. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is not difficult. When everything is quiet, you just need to  Put your ears to the ground and you can hear sounds from far away." After finishing speaking, he looked around again, pointed to the north and said, "It's very quiet now, and there happen to be a few people over there.  Riding a horse, come towards us very quickly. You can stick to the ground and see if you can hear it." Li Mu couldn't help but feel happy. He immediately put his ear to the ground and listened for a while but didn't hear anything.  , couldn't help but look at the coachman uncle with some confusion."Young man, that's not how you listen. You have to make your hands into a shape, and put it next to your ears. That way you can hear farther" The driver said and gestured anxiously.  gesturing.  After trying a few times, Li Mu finally mastered some tricks and lay on the ground again to listen.  Not long after, I heard the faint sound of horse hooves coming from the north, galloping towards me.  Although it is not very clear, it is absolutely real.  "Uncle, I heard it, I really heard it" Li Mu raised his head and shouted excitedly to the coachman, but found that the honest face of the coachman now showed a rare trace of solemnity and worry.  Just when Li Mu wanted to ask a question, the driver's uncle suddenly said: "Young man, is your name Niu Wen?" "Niu Wen?" Li Mu couldn't help but be stunned. He could hardly remember the name for a while.  It seems that I just made it up at the checkpoint this afternoon to fool Guo Qi and Feng Yi. How come this uncle the coachman knew about it?  The uncle coachman didn't wait for Li Mu to answer, and continued anxiously: "Young man, if you are Niu Wen, run away for your life. The few people chasing you from the north seem to be coming to kill you" "Kill me.  "The one who killed Niu Wen?" Li Mu still didn't react.  The uncle coachman nodded, with a trace of anger on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I heard the voice of one of them, the one who stepped on my cabbage. They were discussing whether to kill him or not.  You, I'd better take you back and hand you over to a man named 'Master Feng'" "It's your uncle's, it's your uncle's, Feng Yi, I have no enmity with you, why are you keeping an eye on me?" Li Mu couldn't help but wonder.  Swearing.  He didn¡¯t doubt what the coachman said at all. It was really impossible for such a simple and honest man to come up with such a reasonable story in a short period of time.  "Young man, it seems that you are really the Niu Wen they want to kill." The coachman uncle stood up suddenly and said in a hurry, "Get up and run for your life. Run in any direction. As long as you are careful, maybe you can  They can't catch up with you." Li Mu was a little panicked. If he hadn't happened to run into the driver, he might have been chased and beheaded. He didn't know what happened.  Without thinking much at the moment, he immediately picked up the waist knife from the ground and ran towards the south.  "Young man, you can't run away like this. How can you outrun their four legs with two legs?" The coachman shouted anxiously, "You'd better run east-west for a while, and then run north. They will definitely catch you."  I can¡¯t see you anymore.¡± To be fair, Uncle Coachman¡¯s suggestion is a good one.  Those who were chasing him would never have thought that Li Mu would be able to spot them from so far away.  And according to people's normal thinking, they should flee in a direction away from the pursuing soldiers, and they would never run back to Lianshan Town.  If there were no tracking experts among the pursuers, the possibility of Li Mu escaping was still very high.  "Oh, thank you uncle, I'll run east now." Like a headless fly, Li Mu immediately turned around and ran directly into the fields, heading east.  After running a few steps, Li Mu suddenly stopped, turned to look at the coachman uncle who was still standing on the roadside, and asked with some suspicion: "Uncle, if I run away, if they catch you, they will force you to tell me.  What should I do?" As soon as he asked this question, Li Mu wanted to give himself a slap in the face. What are these words?  Are you still worried that this kind-hearted coachman uncle will betray you?  Li Mu looked around with some worry and found that there was no lake or anything that could kill himself. He was relieved.  He remembered a story he had heard. It was about a nobleman who had lost his name in ancient times and fled his homeland for some reason.  On the way to escape, he crossed a river by boat. He was worried that the boatman would reveal his whereabouts, so he repeatedly told the boatman not to betray him.  As a result, before he could get far, the boatman threw himself into the water.  The nobleman knelt down by the river and cried bitterly, looking at the river flowing eastward, pouring out his tears and regret.  Perhaps at that moment, he even had the urge to throw himself into the river, but in the end the hatred and persistence in his heart made him stand up and continue his escape journey.  Perhaps, the staunch boatman felt that his character had been insulted, so he used death to wash away the shame, in order to ridicule the fleeing noble.  "Perhaps the kind boatman just felt that if he fell into the hands of the noble's enemies, he might not be able to keep the secret.  In order to prevent the noble's escape route from being leaked from his own mouth.As a result, the nobleman was finally killed, so he drowned himself to keep the secret forever.  Perhaps, there are more possibilities.  But this kind of faith that is proved by life and protected by death makes people feel a kind of heaviness, a kind of touching, a kind of sadness and a kind of eternity.  Once upon a time, the moment Li Mu heard this story, he had the urge to cry.  He didn¡¯t know why he felt this way.  But he knew that while he admired the boatman, he did not hate the nobleman.  Because, this is just a different choice.  He could not guarantee that if he were in that noble's position, he would be like that noble, but he repeatedly told the boatman not to reveal his whereabouts.  Now that he is in the position of a noble, where should he go?  While thinking about it, Li Mu saw the driver uncle tidying up his clothes, slowly picking up a dark rope from the ground, and walking towards the big tree.  Li Mu was immediately frightened to death
