Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 89
Although the drought has caused all the ancient wells and lakes everywhere to dry up and lack water, even some ancient wells that have never dried up in a hundred years are no exception, the big river in front of Liu Bian is still turbulent, the water surface is still wide, and the riverbed is formed by the dried up silt. Talking about the water level in the past, Liu Bian couldn't believe it: If there was no drought, how magnificent would this big river be in front of us?
The dead wood branches on both sides of the river bank reveal a few traces of green spring. After the severe cold, some perennial aquatic plants wake up from the freezing, which makes the desolate world suddenly more vitality and spring.

At the end of the road, a bamboo shed was erected beside the pier on the river bank, and there were vaguely visible figures shaking inside, and faint voices came out!

Along the way Liu Bian traveled, all he could see was the cracked land, dead trees, and small villages that had become deserted due to the plague. Even the chirping of insects and birds could hardly be heard. There is only desolation and death.Coming to this vibrant place suddenly made him feel as if he had passed away for a while!
His thoughts moved, so that the undead horse under his feet slowed down and walked slowly towards the bamboo shed.At the same time, the light of the soul fire in the eyes of the undead warhorse will be dimmed, and with the cover of the scorching sun, ordinary people should not be able to detect it.

At this time, he was extremely thirsty, and he just wanted to go there to beg for a drink of saliva, and then inquired about how to cross the river, and whether there was a ferry?

In Liu Bian's impression, he was escorted by General Ren that day, and he had been hiding for several days without getting out of the carriage, so he didn't know how they crossed the river.

The sound of "da da" horseshoes came to the ears of everyone in the bamboo shed. Everyone just looked up, but didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, they raised the huge sea bowl in their hands and poured light tea. Here is a tea shed for pedestrians who come and go across the river to wait for the boat to rest.

As he got closer, the river in front of him clearly appeared in Liu Bian's field of vision. The river was turbid, and as the waves beat by, many fine sand grains would be left on the river bank, as if the river was full of mud!
This is the Yellow River.

Liu Bian came to this conclusion in an instant. Only the Yellow River, which is said to be the birthplace of civilization, bred countless histories, and spans nine provinces, can still keep flowing in such arid climate. Only the Yellow River, Only the river water of this color is in front of me.

In his past and present lives, he had never seen this second largest river, which was affectionately called "Mother River" by later generations. What he saw at this time, although the drought caused most of the river to dry up, it was still surging, and the 500-meter river course Wave after wave, what a spectacular scene.

Turning over and dismounting, he casually stuck the 82-jin Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand on the ground, put the rein on it, circled it twice symbolically, and walked into the bamboo canopy teahouse.Fortunately, although the undead horse is a horse, it is actually a servant of the undead. Except for Liu Bian's orders, it will never need to be fed, cared for and washed like ordinary war horses, and will stay obediently. It also saves a lot of trouble.However, the light of the Azure Dragon Saber was too sharp and dazzling, so Liu Bian had to wrap it with cloth again before setting off, but now it didn't attract any attention.

There was a faint scent of tea in his nose, and there was even white flour steamed buns exuding heat in the steamer beside him, which made Liu Bian involuntarily open his index finger. Although he was amazingly powerful and invulnerable to all poisons, he was still a body of flesh and blood. The rush made him feel a little hungry, and smelling the delicious food, his Adam's apple was already wriggling involuntarily, so he decided to let go and eat a big meal immediately.

Thick tea leaves are floating on the huge tile kiln water tank, half of the tea water is gone, it is obviously low-quality crude tea, but in Liu Bian's eyes, this crude tea is more fragrant and attractive than the Biluochun that Yu Ji specially collected.

"Four steamed buns and a bowl of tea." Liu Bian shouted to the shopkeeper who was holding a big spoon to scoop tea in front of the tea mug.

The shopkeeper raised his head and gave him a cold look, and said, "Three pennies." It was a one-eyed woman with a burly figure comparable to a strong man, wearing an apron, revealing the dark and rough skin on her arms.

"Three pennies."

Hearing this word, Liu Bian subconsciously reached out to feel where his trouser pocket was, where his wallet was always placed.But halfway through touching it, his hand stopped suddenly, his fingers touched the cloth robe, where is there any wallet?
Liu Bian couldn't help but smile awkwardly, he didn't bring any money!

Since he crossed over, he had been hanging around in Wang Yun's mansion when he first came, and later he came to Hongnong City, where he also had no worries about food and clothing, and everything was taken care of by Yu Ji.But Daxueshang is directly for his use, so he has never been in the habit of using money and currency in this Three Kingdoms world, let alone carrying money.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was actually penniless!
A penny is hard for a hero, Liu Bian couldn't help sighing, scolding himself for not thinking carefully, looking at the cold eyes of the one-eyed woman, he was about to walk out of the bamboo canopy.

"Brother, the weather is so hot, can you go over and drink a bowl of rough tea together?" Suddenly, a hearty call sounded from behind him.

Looking back, a middle-aged scribe with a long beard, a long robe with a long scarf, and a long sword at his hip was looking at him with a smile.

Seeing that someone invited him to eat, Liu Bian hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed unceremoniously, and cupped his hands: "It's so thankful, brother." He was really thirsty and hungry at this time, so naturally he wouldn't be hypocritical shirk or something.Moreover, the person in front of him is personable and has a grand manner. Based on his feeling, Liu Bian believes that he must be very human. If he can get acquainted, it would be a good thing to be a friend.

Hua Tuo once told him that his physique at this time was considered invulnerable to all poisons, and his strength was astonishing, and the tea shed was full of ordinary travelers, scholars, scholars, or cooks and farmers. Qiao, and even a pair of blind fathers and orphans who sang and held erhu pipas, these people did not threaten his existence.

The two found a wooden table and sat down on the left and right. A short and thin man brought tea, steamed buns and a small plate of beef amidst the shouting of the one-eyed woman.Listening to the tone of the two, they are actually a couple for a while.Seeing the man's obsequiousness to the shrew, Liu Bian couldn't help laughing to himself, this is a typical fear of guilt, the woman is so fierce, one can imagine how many disasters this thin man has lived through.Thinking of his wife, the girl who was not yet 16 years old and the two of them had no real relationship, Liu Bian suddenly felt that he was in heaven.

After drinking two large bowls of tea, Liu Bian immediately felt extremely comfortable and exhausted.

Seeing him finish his tea with a smile, the scribe smiled and clasped his fists slightly: "I'm in Xiadonglu, the name is Gongtai, I saw that you are dignified and extraordinary, but I don't know your name?"

Seeing this person asking his name, Liu Bian immediately felt vigilant, his pupils shrank slightly, but his face remained unchanged, and he cupped his hands with a smile: "Xia Wangnan, young and without appearance, thank you sir There's no way, once the Yellow River crosses it is Mengjin, and only forty miles away is Luoyang. He didn't want to let the news out because of a name, so he said the name of his previous life.

As for Dong Lu's name, although he was familiar with the characters of the Three Kingdoms, he couldn't think of such a character.As for the word Gongtai, it is somewhat familiar, and I can't remember who it is for a while.Perhaps, Dong Lu is also the pseudonym of the person in front of him.
