Chapter 105: Restoring Confidence
The next day, Zhou Yang accompanied Abi to hunt in the woods as usual.
This innocent and cheerful ugly woman had long forgotten the four people who came yesterday and searched for her prey wholeheartedly.
Zhou Yang took the opportunity to familiarize himself with the terrain of this area and found that this place was really a hidden place. Ye Xuan and the others were quite capable of finding it.
It just so happens that you can take advantage of this period to stay and enjoy the simple life here. After your health is fully recovered, you can start to show your strength again.
Sometimes he would also follow Hua Tuo to pick herbs in the mountains and forests with A Bi, and learn a lot of simple healing methods from it.
In this era when medical devices and drugs are not perfect, understanding the basic common sense of how to equip herbs is indeed very important for future marches and wars, or traveling out for a long time.
Ye Xuan sent people to report the situation in Chang'an from time to time, so that Zhou Yang knew that Emperor Xian of Han was not involved in the civil war, but life seemed to be not easy.
Wang Yun and Dong Cheng were identified as accomplices who took Emperor Xian of Han to escape from Chang'an, and both were sent to prison. The former committed suicide in prison, while the latter was still surviving.
However, Li and Guo probably just couldn't catch Zhou Yang, and they just used these two old guys to vent their anger. At the same time, it was quite similar to the means by Dong Zhuo who abolished the emperor, but they deposed important officials of the court, and they could also intimidate the entire court.
One day, Hua Tuo decided to continue traveling around the world and treat people everywhere, so A Bi naturally left here with him.
Zhou Yang was reluctant to part with them, and then lived in the wooden house before Abi.
Without these two people, he suddenly felt that the small settlement was bored and did not want to go out hunting with the hunters here. He spent almost all day free time, so he practiced his iron spear in the woods.
Although he felt that his body was almost completely recovered, he would feel severe chest pain every time he used too much force.
Hua Tuo once told him that the sword injury would leave uncurable sequelae and should not be too impatient or angry, otherwise the old wound would recur and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhou Yang knew that haste would not be able to achieve it, so he had no choice but to put down his iron spear and find something else to do for the time being, but he unexpectedly discovered that the hunting methods of hunting by the hunters here seemed to be different from those of him, Cao Lin, A Bi and others before.
It turned out that in addition to using bows and arrows, they would also set up traps, traps, wood thorns, etc., use their familiarity with the forest environment and the observation of where animals appear. They would always gain something in this harsh winter weather. They couldn't help but look at these hunters again.
So Zhou Yang began to have a good relationship with them and humbly learned the techniques of tracking and hunting from them.
By creating special hunting bows and tridents, even if they encounter more ferocious beasts such as grizzly bears, tigers and leopards, they can be subdued with cooperation with each other.
He had thought in his heart that he would use these people after returning to Luoyang in the future, but from their tone, he could hear that these people were used to life in the mountains and had no intention of living in the city, so he had to give up this idea.
In the past ten days, no information from Chang'an has been heard from Ye Xuan.
Fengxue was also more fierce than usual, making him more worried about Ye Xuan's intelligence team, and always felt that something bad would happen.
However, in such weather, even the hunters in small settlements cannot go out.
The wooden house was blown by the wind, and it seemed to collapse at any time, which was very disturbing.
Zhou Yang tried his best to calm himself down, analyze the reasons carefully, and summarize the news Ye Xuan brought back before.
The people in Chang'an City are currently in a state of panic, but the civil war between Li and Guo is still about to break out. The reason is that they are afraid that foreign enemies will have opportunities to take advantage of, so they hope to solve the problem without moving weapons.
However, the addition of Beidizhi Yuanduo will inevitably change this situation. The cooperative relationship between him and Li Jue will not work so hard, and there is a very important information missing.
Zhou Yang vaguely felt that Ye Xuan had not returned yet, which might have a lot to do with this matter.
But the most important thing at this time is to calm down. After so many painful lessons, he has become more rational.
Until the snow stopped and cleared, Zhou Yang, like other hunters, crawled out of the wooden house one by one like a huddle-down insect, spread his arms to enjoy the warm sunshine of nature.
"This damn winter! It's almost over." One of the hunters raised their heads and closed their eyes.
"We have to work harder next year."
"Yes! Try to have another doll."
Then all the hunters laughed at each other. Their wives were standing by the window, smiling happily. The children were pouring snow on each other as the spring had not yet arrived.
These things made Zhou Yang feel comfortable and gradually forgot some of his worries.
Not long after, the snow in the forest began to melt, and the wooden house became very wet, so we could only continue to raise the fire and bake it in the morning and evening, but these did not affect the mood of the hunters.
They formed a group of people and used a trolley to the small town at the foot of the mountain to exchange for food.
Zhou Yang originally planned to follow them down the mountain, disguise himself as a hunter, and sneak into Chang'an again.
However, he quickly gave up this idea. First, he did not want these mountain people who lived happily to involve the war outside the forest, but second, he would still stay and wait for news from Ye Xuan and the others to be more appropriate.
Every time it was night, Zhou Yang would just lie down quietly and think about something. When he thought of Dong Yu and Xiaoyao's death, he would always linger in his mind.
Although Xiaoyao has never been masked, he always hears the little emperor talking about it. Over time, he will subconsciously feel a certain love for the little girl; while Dong Yu is like a friend. Zhou Yang even thought about letting Dong Yu open a school in the city after returning to Luoyang.
However, these two people were killed directly by him. He knew that this guilt would always be entangled with him.
In the past, the dead were enemies who had no direct relationship with him or wanted to kill him, so the death of those people would not have an unforgettable impact on him like this.
Especially after experiencing this death, he felt the preciousness of life.
"Squeak-Squeak!"
Zhou Yang suddenly came to his senses and noticed that there was something outside the wooden house. He knew that this was a secret code from Ye Xuan, so he immediately got up.
But there was no one outside. If it were Ye Xuan, he wouldn't have joked like this with him.
Will something happen?
Zhou Yang hurriedly held the tiger roaring spear tightly, focused on every movement around him, and finally fell on the wooden roof next door. Sure enough, there was a tall and sexy figure.
"Su Chen!" He recognized at a glance. The female assassin who had once shared the worries with him could not help but shout.
"Aren't you afraid of waking others?" Su Chen fell lightly from the wooden roof and whispered in a low voice.
After missing her for such a long time, she did not change much except for her lighter face.
This made Zhou Yang feel quite at ease. He looked at the woman in front of him who had been longing for a long time, hugged her in his arms with one hand, felt this elastic and healthy body, and asked with a wicked smile: "Why did you run away?"
Su Chen did not break free, and let his irregular hand wander on him. Because of his tall and beautiful figure, he looked at him and said, "You bad guy, you obviously have such an important task in Chang'an, but you still don't forget to get involved in the trouble."
Zhou Yang thought about it and didn't remember that he had met any woman in Chang'an. At most, he just glanced at Diao Chan and secretly fantasized her in his heart.
Su Chen thought he was pretending to be confused and said, "Your Miss Yun'er has arrived in Luoyang. She is asking her to report your safety to you!"
Zhou Yang was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Cheng Bing was quite reliable in doing things, but after thinking about it, it was not right. She was not very familiar with Yun'er, so she couldn't help asking: "You came to me, you should just be for this?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "I will bring you good news and bad news. Which one do you want to listen to first?"
Seeing that her attitude of changing her cold and hot attitude was rarely spoken so interestingly, Zhou Yang felt that both of them might be good news for a moment, so he said, "Then let's talk about the bad ones first!"
"The bad news is that Xiahou Yuan's army has evacuated Luoyang." Su Chen said lightly.
"What!" Zhou Yang knew that this army was originally going to take advantage of a sudden attack in the civil war in Chang'an. It would evacuate Luoyang at this time. It must be a major event in the rear. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have made such a hasty decision. He couldn't help but ask, "How could this happen?"
Su Chen said: "Didn't you send someone back some time ago to let Cao Gong pay attention to Puyang's defense? Unexpectedly, Puyang's prefect Zhang Miao would cooperate with others inside and outside, and eventually give the city to Lu Bu for nothing."
Zhou Yang thought that Zhang Miao and Cao Cao had a close relationship, so he suddenly betrayed him. What must be the reason for this?
Su Chen was stunned when he saw him and said, "Do you want to hear another good news?"
Zhou Yang knew that what should have happened still happened, but he believed that Cao Cao would be able to regain the city in the end, so he quickly came back to his senses and had to regain his mood and asked, "What is it?"
"The good news is," Su Chen deliberately paused for a while before laughing mysteriously, "Your son is already two years old, but he still doesn't have a name!"
"Son?" Zhou Yang was really stunned for a long time this time.
In fact, he should have thought that he had been away from Luoyang for more than two years. Qirou's belly could not have been waiting for him for so long, but he was an extremely incompetent father. Not only did he not stay with her, but he almost made his son lose his father.
Zhou Yang cursed himself secretly for a while, but the joy finally concealed all his worries. It turned out that being a father was like that.
This felt very wonderful. It was obviously all taken for granted, but someone else had to tell him to jump up excitedly.
Su Chen was hugged tightly by him, and couldn't help but look blank and said, "Let me go!"
Zhou Yang was so happy that he was stunned. When he calmed down, he felt that no matter what problems he faced in the future, it would no longer be difficult.
