A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 406 Riding a Tiger Down the Mountain

When Lu Cheng and his group set out on their journey home again, there were more than 40 more skinny men, women, young and old, in the team, all of them with their families.

When they arrived at the next town, Lu Cheng asked Lai Fu and Wu Song to take a few subdued refugees to buy more dry food.

Seeing how kind Lu Cheng was to these people, Wu Song could not help but admire him: "Master, you can be so generous and kind to these bandits. You really have a kind heart like a bodhisattva. I really admire you."

"It's nothing. They are just a group of people who can't make a living."

Wu Song had already begun to call Lu Cheng "Brother Lu", but Wu Dalang taught him that when following others to do things, he should be clear about his status and not be arrogant and lose his manners.

Wu Song always listened to his brother's words, and then he started to call him "Master" again.

Lu Cheng did not correct anything, but his attitude towards Wu Song remained as friendly as ever.

They walked like this for more than ten days before finally arriving in Yanggu County.

Since it was not convenient to enter the city with a group of refugees, Lu Cheng asked Wu Song to take them around Yanggu County and camp outside the city to rest.

Lu Cheng and Pan Jinlian took a carriage into the city, preparing to find an inn to rest.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the door of an inn, a teenager was seen carrying a large bamboo basket with some effort, shouting: "Crisp pears, fresh crisp pears, snow pears just off the tree, my guest, would you like to buy some crisp pears? My pears are very fresh, and they are full of juice when you bite them."

Lu Cheng stopped, took the pear from the child and looked at it, then told Lai Fu beside him: "Give him money and buy all his pears."

"Yes, Master."

"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir."

"What's your name? Why are you running out to do business at such a young age?"

"My dear sir, I don't have a real name, only a nickname, Yun Ge'er. My mother passed away, and I am left with my sick father who is bedridden. I can only come out to hawk things on the street and do some small business to make a living."

"You are filial."

This Yun Ge'er should be the Yun Ge'er who often sold fruits on the street with Wu Dalang for a living in the original novel.

Lu Cheng had read the original Water Margin and remembered some descriptions of this Yun Ge'er.

Like Wu Dalang, Yun Ge'er was a street vendor, and they had a good relationship. Moreover, Yun Ge'er could get some tips from Ximen Qing from time to time with his eloquence.

When Yun Ge'er heard about the affair between Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian from other people, he did not tell Wu Dalang first, but ran to Wang Po first, wanting to share some of the benefits, and even said that with the benefits, he could pretend that he knew nothing.

Wang Po naturally didn't want to be blackmailed by Yun Ge'er, so she beat him up directly.

Yun Ge'er was so angry that he turned around and ran to find Wu Dalang. He asked Wu Dalang to buy him three cups of wine and some meat. Only then did he tell Wu Dalang about the story of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian. He also gave Wu Dalang advice and encouraged Wu Dalang to go into the house and catch the adulterer. Before leaving, he got some money from Wu Dalang.

After Wu Dalang was poisoned to death, Yun Ge'er was safe and sound.

Later, Wu Song came back to avenge his brother and found Yun Ge'er to question him. Yun Ge'er used the excuse that he had a father to support. After Wu Song gave him five taels of silver and fourteen or fifteen taels of silver as living money, he told him what had happened and concealed some of his own affairs.

It can be said that this seemingly young and filial Yun Ge'er was actually very cunning. He gained many benefits and watched the Wu brothers and Ximen Qing fighting to the death, but in the end he was not hurt at all.

You say he is a bad guy, but he doesn't seem to have done anything bad. You say he is a good guy, but the things he has done are definitely not something a good guy would do.

Such little people may seem insignificant, but they often play an important role at critical moments.

After staying in Yanggu County for one night, Lu Cheng and his group continued on their journey.

One day, when everyone came to a forest, Lu Cheng suddenly ordered them to stop and rest.

Lai Fu and Lai Wang on the side took a closer look at the forest and quickly responded: "Master, this should be the place where you tamed the tiger, right?"

"Yes, it is right here. You wait here first, I will go and call it out, and go back to Yuncheng County with us."

"Yes, Master!"

At this moment, Wu Song, who was exploring the way ahead, also came over and said, "Master, why don't you leave? Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong. I adopted a pet before, but since it was inconvenient to carry, I let it roam free in this forest. I'm going to find it and bring it back with us to Yuncheng County."

"Do you need Wu Song's help?"

"No need. You stay here. When you see my pet later, be careful to control the carriage and the crowd. Don't panic."

After saying that, Lu Cheng walked straight into the forest and headed in a certain direction.

Wu Song was still a little confused, so he turned to look at Lai Fu: "Brother Lai Fu, what's going on? What exactly is that pet that the master let loose?"

Lai Fu laughed and said, "Let me keep this a secret for a while. You will definitely be surprised later."

After entering the forest, Lu Cheng dodged and flew all the way, and soon approached the tiger's position, and roared in imitation of the tiger's sound.

A tiger resting in a cave heard the roar, stood up immediately, responded, and then ran outside.

Soon, the man and the tiger met in a forest.

The tiger came close to Lu Cheng, lowered its head and rubbed it against Lu Cheng, letting out a low roar.

Lu Cheng casually flipped through the box, took out a large piece of fresh pork belly and handed it over.

The tiger lowered its head, bit the food and started eating happily.

After the tiger finished eating, Lu Cheng patted its head and said, "You will follow me from now on. However, since you are following me, I have to give you a name. Let me think about it. Downhill Tiger? Roadblock Tiger? Decepticon?"

The ancients had many nicknames for tigers, such as Big Beast, Tiger King, General Yin, White-Eye Marquis, Yellow Spot, and Fu Meng, etc.

When Menghu heard Lu Cheng say these names, he didn't understand the meaning of them and naturally didn't express any opinions. He just squatted there, waiting for Lu Cheng's decision.

"Clouds come from dragons, winds come from tigers, so I'll call you "Liefeng" first."

The tiger seemed to understand the meaning of Lu Cheng's words and bowed to Lu Cheng.

"Let's go down the mountain."

The man and the tiger ran through the rugged forest and soon reached the foot of the mountain.

In the crowd not far away, several horses tied to trees began to become restless and uneasy. Wu Song, Lai Fu and others hurried to calm the horses.

Then, a tiger roar was heard that shook the forest. Lu Cheng rode on the tiger's back and stepped out of the forest, instantly stunning everyone...
