Chapter 2: Falling into the Grass

Snowflakes fell to every inch of the land, and the mountains seemed to be covered with silver cotton clothes, covered with snow.

"Sister Lu Yue, where has Brother Lu Hua gone?" asked a boy in a courtyard to another girl in a small town on the border of the Song Kingdom.

"I don't know very well, Brother Lu Hua has been mysterious recently, and he always runs up the mountain. Let's go inside, you still have a book to tell me. The girl replied.

"Come on in, it's cold outside. A middle-aged woman screamed for her two children in the house.

After the two children entered the house, Lu Yuqi said to the little boy, "Zongzheng, hurry up and teach my sister to read and break words, your brother Lu Hua doesn't know where to play, he doesn't like to study, so you can teach you Sister Lu Yue." ”

"Mm-hmm, sister, let's get started. The little boy and the little girl sat at the table where they usually ate and began to read.

"Brother Qi, Zongzheng, this kid can read and hyphenate since he can speak, we don't know a single big word, this kid is so smart, and by the way, he also taught Lu Hua and Lu Yue, it's really good, this knowledge and culture can also be inherited?" said to Lu Yuqi, the middle-aged woman opened her rice jar and found that there was only about half a bowl of rice left.

This middle-aged woman is Lu Yuqi's wife Ma Huixing, in order to avoid the sudden slaughter of the soldiers who slaughtered the village, his wife gave birth to a child only five days ago, and ran with Lu Yuqi in the mountains, at first Ma Huixing held Lu Hua and Lu Yue's dragon and phoenix fetus, and Lu Yuqi held Zong Zhenghan's son. Later, when fleeing over the mountains and mountains, the horn of the army assembly sounded in the village, and the three soldiers who chased them stopped chasing, and when they stopped, they were still running, and vaguely heard the three soldiers say that the five princes of Shu were dead, and they hurried back to gather and return to China.

It is conceivable that Ma Huixing, a woman who has only given birth to a baby for five days, holds a dragon and phoenix fetus in her arms, and can still be chased by three well-trained soldiers, this is the real mother's love and escape.

And the little boy who was in the yard just now was Zong Zhenghan and Tong Ying's child Zong Zheng, because Zong Zhenghan didn't name the child at that time, he was killed by the soldiers, so Lu Yuqi and his wife didn't name the child, and they always used the surname Zong Zheng.

That girl is Lu Yue, the daughter of Lu Yuqi's dragon and phoenix fetus, and Lu Hua, the son of the same dragon and phoenix fetus, who has not liked to study since he was a child and is full of brute strength.

Strange to say, Zong Zhenghan's son Zong Zheng was able to read all the words when he first learned to speak, so Lu Yuqi's children were tutored by Zong Zheng, who was born five days later than his child, in their initial studies.

After escaping to the frontier of the Song Kingdom, the couple took one of the two gold bars given by Zong Zhenghan when he died and exchanged them for silver taels, bought a house next to the city wall, and settled down.

Then Lu Yuqi cultivated a few acres of land outside the city, and usually cut firewood and sold it to make a living, and his wife Ma Huixing was still in confinement when she escaped. So I have been taking medicine for so many years to nourish my body.

"Brother Qi, cough cough, there is no rice at home, this year's harvest is not good, my health is not good, you see that the gold bar you exchanged at the beginning has not been used after you bought the house, or take it out to buy some rice, the three children in the family can't be hungry in winter." Ma Huixing held his waist and covered the rice jar.

"That money will be given to Zongzheng in the future, we have already spent a lot of money to buy a house, which has made my conscience uneasy all these years, so let's go up the mountain to chop some firewood, and go to the market to sell it for some rice. Lu Yuqi picked up the axe and pushed the door out.

"Brothers, it's here, put it in the yard, I'll get it later. It turned out to be Lu Yuqi's son Lu Hua and several middle-aged men carrying two bags of rice and a few bundles of firewood in the yard.

"Brother Hua, it's okay, let's go back to the mountain first, don't forget to come tomorrow!

"Brother Zongzheng, come out quickly and help me and my father bring the rice and firewood in. Lu Hua shouted into the room.

Lu Yuqi stood the axe next to the door, and Zong Zheng, who heard the sound, successively moved the rice and firewood into the house.

"You're sixteen, and you're still missing every day, you should learn from your sectarian brother and see what you look like. Ma Huixing pinched her waist and pointed at Lu Hua with her right index finger.

"Old lady, don't be angry, I don't like to raise a pen in the first place, and besides, didn't I learn martial arts from my younger brother Zongzheng. Lu Hua sat down on the chair next to the table, drank a bowl of water, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Brother, where did you get these things?" Zong Zheng also sat on the chair and looked at Lu Hua.

"This is a hard labor for people to sit on, and some reward money is given, and it is bought. Lu Hua drank another bowl of water.

"It turns out that you always run to the mountains these days, doing hard labor for big families, no wonder, my son follows me and knows how to support the family. Lu Yuqi smiled and touched Lu Hua's head.

"No, I heard recently that there are bandits in the mountains, and many people in the city dare not go up the mountain to cut firewood, how can there be a big family hiring people to go up the mountain?" Lu Yue poured water into Lu Hua's bowl.

"I don't drink it, it's at this very moment that big families hire people to go up the mountain to cut firewood at a high price, and now winter is the time to use firewood." ”

Lu Hua stood up and poured the two bags of rice into the rice jar.

"Uncle, you said that my parents have been out on business for so many years, why haven't they come back yet?" asked Zong Zheng to Lu Yuqi, who was sorting out firewood.

It turned out that when Zong Zheng was five years old, he asked Lu Yuqi and his wife why they only had a surname, no name, and their own life experience.

Ma Huixing explained that his parents were out on business, and they would not be able to name him until they returned, and when they left, they left behind a map of the world, a book of the art of war, a book of martial arts secrets, and a book of cultivating immortals.

At that time, he only handed over the art of war and martial arts secrets to Zongzheng and let him learn by himself, and Lu Hua's martial arts was the martial arts secret book of Zongzheng Society, and he taught some simple basic skills to Lu Hua.

"Brother, come out with me, and I'll teach you other moves and martial arts. Zong Zheng got up and pushed the door and walked to the back of the courtyard, and Lu Hua followed closely behind.

"Brother, tell me the truth, did you help the bandits in the mountains to rob you?" Zong Zheng turned around and looked at Lu Hua.

"What's the matter, are you going to tell my father and mother about this?" Lu Hua crossed his arms, sat on the stone beside him, and crossed Erlang's legs.

"Don't talk like that, what is 'my father and mother' Aside from blood relationship, what is the difference between my uncle and aunt and my parents? I am sixteen this year, I want to do a career, isn't this to discuss with you?" Zong Zheng walked to Lu Hua's side.

"What's the matter? Do you want to be a bandit with me? I'll do it a few times, and when I come next year, I will persuade you to take the top exam next year, and I will join the army next year, so how good it is for our family to have one article and one martial arts!" Lu Hua raised his head and looked at Zong Zheng.

Lu Yue in the room was sitting at the table reading a book, and Ma Huixing said to Lu Yuqi, "The children are not young, it's time to find a family affair and get married one by one." ”

"Okay, tomorrow I'll go to find a family affair that Mrs. Wang has found for each of our three children. After Lu Yuqi finished speaking, he sat on the kang.

"Just find a family affair for my brother Lu Hua, Zongzheng's younger brother is both civil and military, the best one with thick eyebrows and big eyes is to find, I think the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, I just marry Zongzheng's younger brother." Lu Yue's eyes still did not leave the book.

Ma Huixing and Lu Yuqi looked at each other and smiled.

"Do you hear that? Your old Lu family is all upside down from the descendants of the old Tong family. Ma Huixing also went to the kang after speaking.

"I won't follow you in the end. Lu Yuqi pressed Ma Huixing's forehead with his index finger.

"Oh, this is so much information, who is this surnamed Tong?" Lu Yue put down the book and looked at his parents on the kang.

"Stop reading your book and ask for anything. Lu Yuqi was lying on the kang.

"There is a big deal tomorrow, but you have been favored by your father and mother since you were a child, if you are brought and something happens, how can you explain to your father?" Lu Hua lowered his head.

"Let me ask you, I have learned the three hundred and sixty swordsmanship and seventy-two divine legs in the martial arts secret book "Hazelnut Martial Arts", what is there to worry about?" Zong Zheng kicked the stone where Lu Hua was sitting.

"Tomorrow get up early and follow me to the mountain to see the big boss, okay, I don't count. Lu Hua got up and walked back into the house.

The next day, Zong Zheng woke up Lu Hua and pushed the door open, the snow was almost knee-high, and the wind was blowing.

"Why are you two going to go with such a heavy snow?" Ma Huixing rubbed his eyes and asked Zong Zheng and Lu Hua at the door on the kang.

"We took advantage of the heavy snow to go for a workout and come back in a while. After Zong Zheng finished speaking, he closed the door and walked to the mountain with Lu Hua.

Against strong winds and a lot of snow, I walked to a cave.

was stopped by two people armed with an axe and a steel fork, "Brother Hua, who is this?"

"Two elder brothers, this is my younger brother Zongzheng, take him to see the big boss today. After Lu Hua finished speaking, the two of them got out of the way and walked into the cave with Zongzheng.

"Big boss, big boss, I'm here!" As Lu Hua shouted, he looked at the three stone chairs in the innermost part of the cave, and the three middle-aged men with beards sat on the chairs.

"Brother Hua, the snow is heavy today, let's rob this wealth again tomorrow. The man in the middle of the three chairs shouted at Lu Hua.

"Great master, this snowy day is a godsend, that wealth should be in the inn, it is much easier to start, and now that the snow is falling, and there is a strong wind, my footprints will soon be buried. Zong Zheng said to the big boss with his hands folded.

"Yohe, that sounds reasonable, Brother Hua, who is this?" asked the middle-aged man sitting in the chair on the right.

"Qi Yu is in charge, this is my younger brother Zongzheng. After Lu Hua finished speaking, the big boss motioned for him and Zong Zheng to find a place to sit down.

"Brother Hua, although we are not picky eaters, we don't eat everything, wouldn't it be okay to get someone to join us?" asked Lu Hua from the third master.

"Listen to this, the three masters want to compare with me?" Zong Zheng stood up.

"Come, give this little brother an axe, and I will use my big knife to fight with this brave little baby. The three masters also stood up, lifted the big knife beside him, and dragged him towards Zongzheng.

At this time, someone opened an axe and handed it to Zong Zheng, who signaled not to use it and asked him to retreat.

"Yo, Brother Hua, your brother is very arrogant, your martial arts are so high, you only drew with my third brother, he actually wants to fight with my third brother with his bare hands, the sword has no eyes, persuade your brother to admit it." Haha!" the second master shouted to Lu Hua.

"Brother, is there no problem?" Lu Hua asked while sitting on a chair, staring at the three masters who were slowly walking towards him dragging a big knife.

"Second master, your double-plate axe is not rusty, is it?" Zongzheng shouted to the second master, and there was an echo in the cave.

"What do you mean? Do you have to compare with me later?" the second master also stood up, clenching his axes with both hands.

"You two go up together! After proving my ability, let's go and get rich together!"

The third master stopped, turned his head and looked at the second master, "Haha, second brother, do you see? It's too arrogant, come and teach this baby a lesson." ”

"Brother, this is too dangerous, why don't you bring an axe, it's safer." Lu Hua stood up.

Zong Zheng still didn't answer Lu Hua, only to see the third master lift the big knife like Zong Zheng's head and slash it, and the second master picked up his right axe and slashed it at his waist.

Zong Zheng tilted his head, dodged the big knife of the three masters, grabbed his right hand holding the big knife with both hands, twisted it hard, and blocked the axe of the second master with the big knife, and then Zong Zheng quickly put his back close to the chest of the three masters, and fell forward with both hands, as Zong Zheng bent over, the body of the three masters was thrown out of Zong Zheng's back, Zong Zheng let go of his hands, and the three masters slammed on the ground.

The second master took the opportunity to wave his left hand, and an axe slashed at Zongzheng's left face, and a right hand axe slashed at Zongzheng's waist.

"Brother, be careful!" Lu Hua blurted out.

Zong Zheng hurriedly did a backflip, and at the moment of mid-air, his feet were together, and he kicked hard into the gap between the two axes of the second master, and kicked the second master in the chest, and the second master was kicked backwards and slammed on the ground.

Zongzheng's right hand landed first, supported it, and did a front flip and landed on the ground.

He hurriedly helped up the second master, and with a look, Lu Hua understood what Zongzheng meant, and quickly ran to the third master's side to help him up.

"The two leaders have offended a lot, I hope you will forgive me. Zong Zheng supported the second master and looked at the third master.

"This baby is very good at kung fu, we are really like a tiger, haha. The big boss also stood up and walked in front of Lu Hua and Zong Zheng.

"Big boss, I am familiar with the art of war, can you tell me the origin of this batch of goods?" Zong Zheng and Lu Hua helped the second and third masters to the top of the chair.

"Haha, Brother Zongzheng is exaggerating, we are just robbing the house, and we don't need any art of war. It was a group of more than ten people, pulling a wagon of goods, saying that it was a cart of furs, in fact, our brothers had eavesdropped on them in their inn, saying that it was a batch of gold and silver treasures sent by the Liao State to the Tang State, as if the two countries were going to attack the Jin Kingdom between them, this was a meeting gift. The big boss took a sip of wine in his chair.

"It's really powerful, I want to attack the Jin country, and I also passed through the territory of the Jin country, and now in the territory of the Song country, it's really interesting that something happened. Zong Zheng clasped his arms and lowered his head.

"Now that you two are here, brothers, assemble and go! With the order of the big boss.

More than 30 people gathered in the cave.

"What's the situation? There are more than 30 of you in total?" Zong Zheng looked at the people in front of him, some with axes, some with steel forks, and some with kitchen knives and iron rods.

"We are the thirty-six generals of Tiangang, and it is still possible to grab the goods of a dozen people! With you and these two tiger generals, it is more than enough. After the big boss finished speaking, the second and third masters behind him walked out of the cave with thirty-three people and walked straight down the mountain to the inn.

Lu Hua and Zong Zheng were also at the back of the team.

"This is what you call bandits, how do I feel that we are going to plow the fields?" Zong Zheng said in Lu Hua's ear as he walked.
