The world is like the autumn wind, and life is like falling leaves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Some memories vaguely seem to exist in the previous life of life, and the past life will leave traces in the present life, but there are not many, and if you think about it, it can also be said that it is as if there is nothing.

In the city of Vaud, Lin Chong lived quietly with his wife and children for many years. The washing of time will make people even the tattoos on their faces fade, and since no one talks about it anymore, they will gradually even ignore the past.

A lot has happened in this passing time, but where is it not? Whether it is the illusionary peace of the past, or the chaos and restlessness of today, as long as people's hearts are together and their hearts are at peace, no matter what kind of turbulence they are in, they can have a place to go back.

In this world, people are meant to suffer, and the real heaven has never existed anywhere after all......

"I'm going to buy the rice in the house."

On the morning of the third day of the seventh lunar month, while having breakfast, Xu Jinhua said to Lin Chong. The child Mu Anping was eating steamed buns next to him. Lin Chong nodded: "Recently, rice has become expensive again." ”

"Speaking from the outside, there is another war."

"It's not the first time, the Jurchens came over when they captured the capital, and they will be fine. We've all descended. ”

"It's not very peaceful out there." Xu Jinhua muttered. Lin Chong smiled: "I'll bring a cold melon back at night." ”

"It's expensive, don't spend money indiscriminately."

Lin Chong smiled and nodded. After breakfast, an old catcher surnamed Zheng came to him, and he took a spear with an ash rod and went to work with the other party.

Vaud is located in the north of the Central Plains, on the border between the forces of the King of Jin and Wang Juyun's bandits, saying that Taiping is not peaceful, and the chaos is not chaotic, Lin Chong is doing things in the official government, but in fact it is not a formal arrest, but a patrol officer who replaces the work under the name of the official arrester. The situation is chaotic, the job of the yamen is not easy to find, Lin Chong's personality is not strong, and he has no intention of coming out over the years, so he has a relationship to find this job of making a living, after all, his ability is not bad, and after so many years in Vaud, he can finally have a stable life.

Zheng Zhutou, who walked with him, was a formal public servant, older, Lin Chong called him "Brother Zheng", in recent years, the two had a good relationship, and Zheng Xunzhu also persuaded Lin Chong to find some ways, send some things, and get a formal public identity to protect his later life. Lin Chong finally didn't get it.

He has lived a stable life, but after all, he is also afraid of the dirt above.

"The affairs of the petty officials are about to be done." On the way to Yamen, Brother Zheng talked to Lin Chong about family things. His son Zheng Xiaoguan, who is eighteen years old this year, learns some martial arts on weekdays, and also wants to enter the yamen to do things, and dredges the master of the yamen, and finds a better way, that is Qi Ao, the son of the Qi family outside the city of Vaud, is recruiting family generals, and this Qi Ao's family is a side branch of a larger family - the big family that once entrenched in Hebei and Hedong, headed by the great Confucian Qi Yan, after taking refuge in the Jurchens, now has great power in the Central Plains.

Through such a relationship, being able to join the Qi family, with this son of the Qi family, is a great future: "Today, the master is going to have a banquet for Prince Qi in Xiaoyan Tower, and he allowed me to bring the junior official over, and asked me to arrange a girl for the son of Qi, saying that he wants to be plump." ”

"Then go to the Golden Building and find one." Lin Chongdao. After so many years of hunting, he couldn't understand the various situations in Vaud City anymore.

"Gotta find a top card." Concerning his son's future, Zheng Xunzhu was extremely serious, "The martial arts hall also said hello, and wanted to ask Xiaobao's master to ask Grandmaster Tian to accompany him, but unfortunately Grandmaster Tian had something to do today, so he couldn't go, but Grandmaster Tian also knew Qi Gongzi, and he also agreed, and he would say a few words for Xiaobao one day." ”

Lin Chong nodded, Tian Weishan is a well-known martial arts master near Vaud, and he also has a lot of face in the government and the army. This is the relationship between Lin Chong and Zheng Patrol who can't climb these people on weekdays, and if they can use it once, they will be worry-free for a lifetime.

In such discussions, I came to the Yamen, and it was an ordinary day of patrolling. At the beginning of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the dog days are continuing, the weather is hot and the sun is shining, which is not uncomfortable for Lin Chong. In the afternoon, he went to buy some rice, spent money to buy a watermelon, and put it in the yamen first, and when it was almost evening, the master asked him to work overtime on behalf of Zheng Zhuhai to investigate the case, Lin Chong also agreed, and watched the master and Zheng Zhutou leave.

That night, something very common happened.

In our lives, sometimes we encounter something like this, and if it never happens, people will live this life normally. But somewhere, it will end up on someone, and someone else will be able to go on and simply live.

This year is already the ninth year of the founding of the Wu Dynasty, and the former Jinghan Dynasty, there is a long enough time for people to forget many things, on the third day of the seventh month, Lin Chong's life is coming to an end, and the reason is this:

On this day, Chen Zeng, the master of the Wozhou government, invited Qi Ao, the son of the Qi family, to a banquet in the Xiaoyan Building in the city, and the guests and hosts were happy, full of wine and food, Chen Zeng took advantage of the situation to let Zheng Xiaoguan come out and play a set of punches to cheer up, and the matter was negotiated, Chen Zeng sent Zheng Xun to arrest the father and son and left, and he accompanied Qi Gongzi to the Golden Building to spend the rest of the time. Qi Gongzi, who had drunk too much, got out of the carriage on the way and wandered around the street drunkenly, Xu Jinhua came out of the room with a basin of water and poured it down the street, and a few drops of water splashed on Qi Gongzi's clothes.

Qi Ao walked into Lin Chong's house.

When Zheng Xunzhu's father and son came here, the matter was already nearing the end. There are not many people living on the streets around here, and due to the presence of Qi Ao's bodyguards, most of them have taken refuge in their homes, but there must be people who have seen what happened. Chen Zeng grabbed Zheng Patrol, who wanted to forge ahead, and Zheng Patrol said, "This is Mu Yi's home. ”

“…… Qi Gongzi is drunk, I can't hold him. Chen Zeng was stunned, in the past few years, he has not had much contact with Lin Chong, and the opinion of this temperamental colleague in the official government is only limited to "how much kung fu", after thinking for a while, he said: "You have to settle things." ”

Then, Qi Ao came out of the house, staggered, sorted out his clothes, and stumbled into the carriage again. The Qi Mansion's family will have someone left behind to clean up the end, Zheng Xunzhu, Zheng Xiaoguan and the man went in together, and casually introduced what he knew about Lin Chong's situation: "He is a person who does not want to cause trouble, but ...... He is probably a person with some martial arts, he has a lot of strength, and there are tattoos on his face, and when he was still in the Wu Dynasty, he was a person who committed a big thing......"

"Then we have to find a way to deal with it."

"Alas...... Alas......" Zheng Patrol kept sighing, "I'll talk to him first, I'll talk to him first." ”

In the room, Xu Jinhua was already dead, there was blood on the ground, and the child Mu Anping fell on the ground in the room inside, as if he had been knocked unconscious by Qi Gongzi, and at this time he woke up and turned around and shouted. Zheng Xun went over and hugged him: "Don't shout, don't shout, I'm your Uncle Zheng......"

"Niang-Niang-" The child's voice was poignant and sharp, Zheng Xiaoguan, who had some dealings with Lin Chong's family on the side, experienced such a tragic thing for the first time, and was a little at a loss, Zheng Xun was embarrassed and knocked Mu Anping unconscious again, and handed it to Zheng Xiaoguan: "Hurry up, hurry up, stay in another place to see Anping first, and call your uncle and uncle to come over and deal with this matter...... Mu Yi usually has no temper, but his skills are powerful, I'm afraid that he will be stunned and can't suppress him......"

Zheng Xiaoguan hugged Mu An and left as if he was flying, running fast, calling people to come quickly, and before the old patrol had time to think clearly about how to deal with Xu Jinhua, Zheng Xiaoguan's voice came from outside: "Mu, Uncle Mu, you ...... Don't you go in......"

"Don't go in, come, I bought a cold melon, let's eat it together, you ......"

Something, stopped here.

It's not just the sound.

Zheng Patrol didn't think clearly what to say, and the watermelon fell to the ground, similar in color to blood. Lin Chong walked to his wife's side and reached out to feel her pulse, he cowered and touched it a few times, and Angzang's body suddenly collapsed on the ground, his body trembling, and he seemed to sift chaff.

"Fake, fake, fake......"

Then vaguely, he heard Zheng Zhutou say something. He didn't know what those words meant, or where they started. The world is like the autumn wind, life is like falling leaves, his leaves fall to the ground, and everything is collapsing.

Some memories, no matter how far away they are in life, can be as clear as yesterday. The high-spirited youth, the helplessness and grief after being framed, the humiliating stabbing characters, Gao Yu, Gao Muen, the upheaval of the exile, Liangshan, the troubled times, the swords, swords, and halberds stabbed over, Jin Ge Iron Horse, they stabbed from the gray curtain. Xu Jinhua and the children, they fell in a pool of blood.

The washing of time will make the tattoos on people's faces fade. However, there will always be something lurking on the other side of the body like maggots on the tarsal bones, where the accumulation of each day and every year can produce a sharp pain that one cannot feel.

“…… It's not the first time these things have happened...... That's what the worldly brothers are...... Marry another one, marry another better ...... Think about it, we are all ordinary people, there is no way, the emperor has let the Jurchens arrest and go to the north to be dogs, Brother Mu, you are not the first day to be an errand in the Yamen, you have to think about it......"

Among the countless collapsing sounds, the nagging noise was occasionally mixed in, Lin Chong's body sat paralyzed for a long time, knelt up, and slowly crawled forward, in front of Xu Jinhua's corpse, there was finally a sad cry in his throat, but in the face of the corpse, his hand did not dare to stretch it out again. Zheng Xunzhu dragged a quilt over to cover the naked body. Someone came to drag Lin Chong, someone tried to support him, Lin Chong's body shook and howled loudly, not many people have ever heard a man's cry be desolate like this.

This cry lasted for a long time, and in the room, Zheng Xunzhuo's two cousins supported Lin Chong, Zheng Xiaoguan and others were also surrounding him, and Zheng Xunzhu occasionally spoke out a few words. In the night outside, some people came to watch, and some people left again. Lin Chong was helped to sit on the chair, a lot of things were collapsing, and a lot of things were resurfaced, the voice made sense, in fact, over the years, there were more than one or two such things. When Tian Hu was still there, Tian Hu's relatives were robbing in the territory, and it was not surprising that when the Jurchens came, the people who were killed and those who died in vain were not only one or two. This was originally a troubled time, powerful people naturally oppressed people without power, he saw it in the government, and he only felt, looked forward to, and hoped for these things, and they would not fall on his head in the end.

Obviously, all the chaotic years have passed peacefully......

Why does this happen......

In the room, Lin Chong dragged Zheng Xunzhu who walked over, the other party struggled, Lin Chong grabbed his neck and pressed him on the wooden table: "Where is it......" His voice was a little inaudible.

The people around rushed up, and Zheng Xiaoguan also hurriedly came over: "Uncle Mu, Uncle Mu, ...... Uncle Mu"

"Brother Mu, don't be impulsive......"

"Don't mess around, it's easy to talk ......"

Many, many arms reached out, pushing him, dragging him. Zheng Xunzhu slapped the hand on his neck, Lin Chong reacted, let go and let him speak, the old man got up and comforted him: "Brother Mu, I know if you are angry, but we can't do anything......"

The heavens and the earth rotated, the field of vision was gray, Lin Chong's soul was not in his body, he mechanically reached out, grabbed the right hand of "Brother Zheng", tore off his little thumb, and two people on his side each grabbed one of his hands, but Lin Chong didn't feel it. Blood shot out, some people were stunned, some people screamed and shouted, Lin Chong seemed to have pulled off a piece of dough and threw the finger away.

"Where?" A weak voice came from his throat, and there was chaos on his side, and the old man shouted, "My fingers, my fingers." Bending down to pick up the fingers on the ground, Lin Chong didn't let him go, and there was chaos next to him for a while, someone waved a stool and smashed it on his body, Lin Chong broke one of the old man's fingers and tore it off: "Tell me where it is?" ”

The huge pain made the old man incontinent, and someone from behind punched him, Zheng Xiaoguan also screamed and gave Lin Chong two punches, Lin Chong looked at him in confusion, until Zheng Xiaoguan shouted: "Mu Anping, you don't want Mu Anping anymore?" Lin Chong's sluggish gaze reacted a little, the surroundings were chaotic, someone held a stick and smashed it down, someone was arrogant, waved a long knife and cut it, Lin Chong waved his hand unconsciously, the wooden pole exploded into several sections, the long knife also curled up and flew out, someone's body hit the wall, and a hole was knocked out in a loud bang, Lin Chong caught Zheng Xiaoguan's hand: "Where is it?" ”

"Taken away by Qi Gongzi's people, they ...... They said...... If you are willing to take the money, I will give it back to you...... Uncle Mu......"

Lin Chong let go of him blankly, and went to see Zheng Xunzhuo again, and Zheng Xunzhu said Jinlou: "We can't help it, we can't help it, the petty official wants to go to his house to do things, Brother Mu, ......"

Lin Chong nodded, then cried again, he nodded: "Brother Zheng, you are right, you are right...... " Then he pressed the old patrol on the table, reached out and touched his throat, grabbed his throat and tore it off.

Zheng Xiaoguan screamed and rushed up from the side and hit Lin Chong's hand, but Lin Chong's body was like steel, and he didn't move at all, Zheng Xiaoguan got up from the ground, groped and grabbed a steel knife, and cut it down hard, Lin Chong waved his hand, the steel knife flew up the beam with a pop, and the blade penetrated out, Zheng Xiaoguan was also pressed on the table by Lin Chong, and slapped down, the head was dented, and the red, red, white and white things flew out, and Lin Chong was a palm again, The human head burst open along with the log table that Lin Chong had made with his own hands.

There were also people in the back who rushed with spears with ash rods, but Lin Chong just took them over and stabbed them a few times. There were no such things in his mind at all, and Xu Jinhua lay quietly underground. He met her hastily, separated hastily, and the woman couldn't even leave him a word at this time. After all these years of fierce battles, he knew that those things might one day befall him.

But why does it have to fall on your head, if there is no such thing......

Lin Chong picked up Xu Jinhua's body, covered in blood, and went out of the room, but he didn't know where to bury the woman at this time. When he went out in the morning, he also said that he wanted to buy rice, he wanted to buy cold melon, how could a person who was going to die want to buy rice, Lin Chong couldn't figure it out at all. And their son, Mu Anping, he has such a son, do they have such a son?

If this hadn't happened......

He thought about it, and finally he thought only of it: the wicked......

Villain.

Lin Chong walked towards the Golden Tower with blood all over his body......

……

Weishan Hall. On the ordinary day of the third day of the seventh month, an unexpected big day was ushered in.

Lin Zongwu went north, and it was only half a day when he came to Vaud, and after meeting with Wang Nanda, he met the local snake in Vaud. He is now a real invincible opponent in the green forest, his martial arts are high, and his martial arts are good, he is willing to come over, and Tian Weishan, who has also hung a guest status in the Great Light Sect, is very happy.

They had watched a group of disciples perform in the martial arts hall, and Lin Zongwu occasionally talked with Wang Nantuo for a few words, talking about the changes in the north in the last few days, and also asking Tian Weishan's opinion.

“…… Not only the Qi family, but several groups of big people are said to have moved, wanting to intercept and kill the messengers of the Black Flag Army who came down from the north. Don't say that there is no shadow of the Jurchens in the middle...... Being able to make such a big battle means that that person must have some terrible information on him......"

"If you can get it, it will be of great use." Wang Nantuo also said the same, "By the way, you can also fight the arrogance of the Black Flag Army......

Lin Zongwu nodded: "This time, I will do it myself, see who can walk through the Central Plains!" ”

During the conversation, the martial arts exercise below was still going on, Lin Zongwu glanced at it a few times, and then smiled and pointed out the martial arts of a group of young people. During this period, Tian Weishan's eldest disciple Tan Lu also came back once and gave Lin Zongwu and Wang Nantuo a salute. On a hot summer night, Lin Zongwu pointed out for a while and rested for a while, and at this time, there was a commotion outside, and someone came in.

It was an embarrassed and dejected body, covered in blood, clutching the body of a wounded man with broken upper limbs, almost pushing a few of Tian Weishan's disciples in. One person looks shaky, six or seven people can't push it, just at a glance, everyone knows that the other party is a master, but this person has no look in his eyes, tears on his face, and he can't see the master's bearing. Tan Lu whispered a few words to Tian Weishan: "...... Qi Gongzi had some misunderstandings with him...... "In such a world, everyone understands some reasons.

"Where is Qi Ao, where is Tan Lu, the wicked ......"

The man looked around, saying something like this, in the martial arts hall, someone had already come over with a sword, Tan Lu stood up: "I am Tan Lu, brother, you are a heavy ......" He was responsible for handling the finishing touches for Qi Ao, and arranged for his subordinates to wait in the Golden Building, and when he came to the master's side, he was prepared that the other party really had a lot of skills. At this time, before he finished speaking, Tian Weishan waved his hand, and then said to Lin Zongwu: "See me." "Walked over.

"This hero, contemptible Tian Weishan, no matter what conflict happened between Your Excellency and Qi Gongzi today, the contemptible people have the courage to mediate for the two, and ask this hero to sell Tian's face, if you have anything to say, sit down and say ...... first"

Lin Chong looked at the people in the courtyard, and looked at the Haoqiang who came over, the other party was Tian Weishan, Lin Chong had been a catcher here for several years, and naturally he had seen him a few times, in the past, they couldn't speak. At this time, they were in the way again.

Villain......

His tears fell again, and the picture in his mind was always broken, he thought of Baihutang, remembered Liangshan, the injustice along the way, and remembered the kick he was kicked in the chest by the master that day......

I didn't do anything bad......

Why does it have to be me......

How can one live well?

Why does it have to fall on me......

Villain......

Unconsciously, he had already walked in front of Tian Weishan, and two disciples of Tian Weishan came over, each carrying a simple knife, trying to separate him. Tian Weishan looked at this man, and the intuition that flashed in his mind for the first time was to make him raise his fist, and the next moment he felt that it was inappropriate, with his status in the green forest of Vaud, how could he make such a move for the first time, but the next moment, he heard the sentence from the other party's mouth: "Wicked." ”

"Ahh Lin Chong stretched out his hands and rushed up.

What broke out in an instant was the overwhelming pressure, Tian Weishan's hair stood on the back of his head, his body was steep and then retreated, in front, the two warriors with knives on their chests had not yet reacted, their bodies were like being hit by the collapsing rock flow on the mountain, and they flew up in a blink of an eye, at this moment, Lin Chong hugged the two people with his arms and pushed Tian Weishan.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, Tian Weishan stepped and stepped back, and the footsteps in front of him stepped through the courtyard like thunder, and suddenly, four figures rushed across the courtyard of most of the martial arts hall, Tian Weishan flew back to the pillar on the side of the courtyard, wanting to turn.

The huge sound overflowed everyone in the courtyard, Tian Weishan and the two disciples, as if they were being held by Lin Chong alone, hit the red wooden pillar that supported the eaves of the corridor like a cannonball, the pillar collapsed in the seeping sound, the tiles, and the measurement fell down, for a while, the field of vision was dust, and some people choked in the dust, and after a while, everyone could faintly see the figure standing in the ruins, Tian Weishan had been completely pressed below.

The martial artists of the Weishan Hall in the entire courtyard had never seen such a scene, even the members of the Great Light Sect who followed Lin Zongwu and the others on the side were all frightened, and Wang Nantuo laughed: "Okay, you take my punch!" The voice was heroic, and he walked towards the embarrassed figure.

Lin Chong staggered towards Tan Lu, looked at the person coming from the opposite side, and threw a punch at him, he stretched out his hands to block it, his body still walked forward, and then two more punches came over, the punch was very powerful, so Lin Chong blocked it twice.

Why does it have to be me......

He had Xu Jinhua's face in his mind, the face of the living, the face of the dead, they were together, they fled together, they built a home, they had children...... It's like another life that exists in fantasy.

Why did it have to come to me?

What if nothing happened...... When I went out today, it was clear that everything was fine......

Lin Chong walked towards Tan Lu. The fist in front of him was still coming, Lin Chong blocked a few times, stretched out his hands and staggered the opponent's arm, he grabbed the opponent's shoulder, and then pulled it over and hit his head over.

A hammer slammed into Wang Nanda's face.

The other party stretched out his hand to block him, his fists danced like a screen, and then hit again, Lin Chong walked forward, just wanted to catch that Tan Lu, ask the whereabouts of Qi Gongzi and the child, he latched the opponent's fist a few times, but the fist wind was like endless, Lin Chong grabbed the opponent's clothes and grabbed the opponent's arm, Wang Nantuo twisted his body in a wrong step, and tried to get rid of him while fighting back, his fist grazed Lin Chong's forehead, bringing out blood, Lin Chong's body was also shaky and almost unstable, In frustration, he lifted Wang Nanda's body up, and then stumbled to the ground.

With a bang, the green bricks all over the ground nearby were shattered, and Lin Chong stumbled a few times and staggered forward......

The world is like the autumn wind, and life is like falling leaves. Where it will float and where it will stop, it is just a fate. Many years ago, the leopard's head walked here, and it was bumpy all the way. He finally didn't care about anything......
