Chapter 1 Horse Bandits and Ma Fei
"Holy!" As soon as Su Lian opened his eyes, he saw a black shadow flying towards the door in front of him, he hurriedly tilted his head, and his left ear seemed to be blowing by a gust of wind, a little stinging.
Before he could react, the black shadow swept over him again, and Su Lian wanted to dodge to the side, but found that there seemed to be a wall on the right, blocking the way. In a hurry, he had to lower his body, and at the same time his right hand stretched out his palm to the left to block, but he just grabbed the black shadow, thick and powerful, and it felt like a person's wrist.
"Huh?" A man's voice came into Su Lian's ears, slightly surprised.
Su Lian originally looked down at the ground, but after grabbing the wrist, he hesitated when he heard the voice. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Lian used his right hand hard, grabbed his wrist and pulled it to the side, and the person immediately stood up, kicked his foot in the middle, and hit the person in the upper abdomen.
"Ouch!" The man couldn't hold it anymore and slammed into the wall, slamming it.
Su Lian turned around and saw that the man raised his hands, thinking that he was going to fight back, so he rushed forward quickly, grabbed the man's hands with both hands, staggered and cut them, and at the same time pressed the man against the wall with his knees, and pressed his right elbow against the side of his face, so that he could not move.
"Ahh......hh It hurts, it hurts," the man's mouth was crushed and deformed, and he screamed.
"What are you doing? Why are you hitting me? Su Lian roared at him in a deep voice.
"Huh?" The man had big eyes and a black face, and there were scars on the left and right sides of his face, and his body was about five feet six inches long, which was the same as Su Lian. He looked powerful and powerful, but at this moment, only his eyeballs could move, and listening to Su Lian's questioning, it was strange for a while.
"Brother Su, are you okay?" Although the man couldn't move, his mouth was vague and he could still speak, and his eyes showed a little concern. Su Lian saw that he was not cheating, and his heart was also relieved.
This relaxation, but the head suddenly fell into a trance, and bursts of fragments suddenly poured into his mind.
His name is Su Lian, born in the autumn of the first year of Yuan Tianli, at this time it was the tenth year of Huizong Zhizheng, he was over twenty-two years old, and grew up in a village called Yutian Village with mountains and rivers. The parents are alive at home, and there is a pretty sister named Su He who is just eighteen years old.
Since childhood, the family is not rich, although it is a poor peasant, but the father has studied, usually teaches private school, the mother is diligent and easy-going, kind and easy-going, also knows how to weave, when not busy with farming, the younger sister is also well-behaved and sensible, follow the mother to learn weaving, the family life is also comfortable and satisfied.
When he was sixteen years old, he found a job in a pharmacy in a county town a little far from his home, because he was also literate since he was a child, and the owner of the pharmacy also appreciated it, so he gave himself the job of bookkeeping while making himself an apprentice. The county seat is eighteen miles away from home, and in fact, you can go home several times a month, occasionally planting in the fields, and planting seedlings and picking cotton with your sister, and having fun.
Usually, Su He came to see himself coldly, sent some delicious food, took some change of clothes, and so on. The brother and sister have been playing with each other since childhood, and they have a lot of feelings. Two months ago, Su He still came to find him, but he didn't expect to meet an official soldier on the street, and the soldier saw that she was charming and cute, so he stepped forward to tease. Su He naturally dodged in every possible way, but the soldier found it more and more interesting, and openly chased Su He on the street and teased.
I have been in the county street for a long time, and I know some people, and Uncle Xu, who has been selling cloth opposite the pharmacy, is one. Uncle Xu's name is Xu Zhenyuan, and he has a naughty and active ten-year-old son named Xu Che.
Xu Che was also playing on the street that day, and saw Su He being molested by officers and soldiers, he had seen Su He, and knew that it was his sister, so he hurriedly ran to the pharmacy to tell himself.
As soon as he heard the fire, he came up, rushed into the middle of the street, and saw the officer and soldier grabbing his sister's sleeve to be light, and the people around him dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. I couldn't see my sister being bullied, so I was furious, so I rushed up and grabbed the officer and soldier and beat him. Originally, he usually had a clumsy strength, but at this time, he was completely dizzy, and under the punches and kicks, the officer and soldier were beaten to the point of bleeding, and the back of his head hit the corner of a table on the table where meat was sold, and he actually died with a whimper.
In front of everyone's eyes, he was also stunned, and he was arrested by the government and sent to this cell not long after.
Su Lian shook his head at this time, raised his eyes and looked around, there was a black and numb patch, only a little misty light above his head. This is a dungeon, and after staying for a long time, I am used to the dark light, and I can vaguely see the situation here, except for straw and a few broken steamed buns, there is nothing on the ground.
"Brother Su, you...... You okay? You're not going to be stupid by me, are you? A voice came, and Su Lian realized that he was still holding someone.
Looking at this man with a black face and a scar, Su Lian smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ma, I'm fine." After speaking, he let go of his hand and let go of the stout man.
The man glared at Su Lian, rubbed his wrists, squatted down and gasped, and said, "I didn't expect it, Brother Su, you still have a hand, it's amazing!" ”
Su Lian glanced at him and remembered that the day after he came in, this man was tied up. He was bold and straightforward, as soon as he came in, he opened his throat and scolded the government and officers and soldiers, what Tartars are barbaric, pigs and dogs are not as good, what is the morning and evening Lao Tzu cleans you up, what is not the same as the Tartars, etc., he was tired of scolding, and when he sat down to rest, he found that Su Lian was also there, so he talked to him.
He introduced himself as Ma Fei, who came out to roam the rivers and lakes in his teens, and he didn't know how many Tartars he had killed with a mountain opening knife. He said that he lost his father and mother when he was a teenager and was raised by his fellow villagers. One day he saw the Tartar bullying the villagers, so he made the Tartar with his own hands. Since then, he has been wandering around, doing some business of robbing homes and houses, robbing the rich and helping the poor. Later, I met a lot of like-minded friends, and everyone worked together, although they were wanted by the government as horse bandits, but everyone worked together and worked hard to make their own reputation and a small territory.
It's just that he came out this time but he was unlucky, he was ambushed, there were many officers and soldiers, swords and arrows were fired, and his palace escorted the brothers to retreat, and he was captured and escorted here.
Su Lian listened to what he said interestingly, so he asked him every day for lessons about the experience and rumors of the rivers and lakes. Ma Fei was afraid of being idle, and he was happy to talk to him more, and when he knew that Su Lian had also killed an officer and soldier, he came in, and praised him for his courage, and listened to him speak and chew words.
After half a month, the two became more and more acquainted, and Su Lian actually wanted to worship him as a teacher and let him teach him kung fu. Ma Fei didn't dare to ask the apprentices to take in, he only said that he would learn from each other, and let him practice slowly, and how much he could learn. Later, he simply asked him to fight against him, saying that this was the fastest way to practice his skills and build his strength. Su Lian nodded without doubt, but when he really fought, he found that Ma Fei was not merciless at all, his fists were hard to the palm of his flesh, and he was beaten every day until his nose and face were swollen, and his body was full of pain.
However, this also aroused Su Lian's competitive and stubborn heart, and he became more and more energetic, and he almost beat himself to death every day before he gave up. Ma Fei saw that he was resilient and liked it.
But he has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, where does he know the truth of step-by-step? Today, the fight rose and kicked Su Lian to the wall, Su Lian was already unconscious, and he didn't know it, so he rushed over with a punch. Unexpectedly, Su Lian suddenly woke up, and accidentally fell into Su Lian's hands, and he was able to counter him.
"Brother Ma, I didn't keep my hand, I think my potential has finally been forced out by you, maybe that's the case, right?" Su Lian also smiled a little puzzled.
Ma Fei shook his head and sighed: "I really didn't have any defense against what you just shot, but I can't see it clearly at all, even if I am defenseless, I guess I can't stop ......"
After saying that, he stepped aside and touched his cheek, he had just been in pain by Su Lian, and he hadn't recovered yet.
Su Lian felt that he seemed to be a little depressed, and probably felt that he had been keeping his hand on him, which meant to look down on him. stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Brother Ma, in the past two months, you should be able to see the depth and personality of my little brother." I know that Brother Ma is frank and straightforward, and he is doing his best to practice against me, little brother, I was indeed beaten by you to be competitive, so I tried my best. I've suddenly grown, Brother Ma should be happy, haha! ”
Ma Fei turned around, stared at Su Lian for a while, looked up and down again, nodded, and said: "Brother Su, you are indeed different from before, I can't say what is different, I just feel that you seem to have grown up suddenly, and your words are more reasonable than before, weird ......"
"Brother Ma, people grow the fastest in adversity. The fact that I can grow is also due to Brother Ma! Su Lian said with a smile.
"Well, I've heard people say before, some masters retreat for a while, and after they come out, they can realize a set of kung fu, or their skills will increase greatly, although Brother Su is not a master, but you are a scholar, and it is true that you learn things quickly, and suddenly I realized that I am really not comparable to a rough person." Ma Fei said with a smile.
Su Lian laughed and said, "Brother Ma, I also call the blue out of the blue better than the blue!" ”
Ma Fei was also infected by Su Lian's straightforwardness, and laughed: "I don't dare to recognize you as an apprentice, but Brother Su, we have been in this prison for more than two months, and we are very happy, but I don't know how many days I have to live......
When Su Lian heard him say this, he remembered something and asked, "Brother Ma, didn't you say before that your brother would come to rescue you?" ”
"Yes, it's been more than a month, and it's strange that there is no movement at all, and I'm in a hurry!" Ma Fei said, scratching his head, and his originally messy hair became even more messy.
Su Lian thought for a while and said, "Actually, there's no need to worry, Brother Ma, let me ask you, according to normal laws, both of us should be capital crimes, right?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?" Ma Feiqi said.
"Under normal circumstances, when should we ask for a slash?" Su Lian asked again.
Ma Fei thought for a while and said, "According to the recent behavior of the Tartars and their style of killing people like mustard, they will kill us in no more than half a month." ”
"But it's been two months now, and we have neither been interrogated nor immediately beheaded, why do you think that?" Su Lian asked again.
