Chapter 5 Rescue on a Rainy Night
Late at night, the Mazu temple with the incense withering became gloomy, and I don't know when, it actually rained, and the rain fell on the patio, and the lotus flowers in the Xuanwu Pond were bent over.
Chen Mu is very fond of rain, because his bones are full of literati elegance, if it is changed to another hour, this kind of good rain, it should be the night rain like a pour, the river is full of peach blossom water, it should be the night rain through the window, the plantain has a sound first, and tomorrow morning, the peach and plum are in full bloom, and it should be a beautiful scenery.
However, now, the clan is ruined, the family is in trouble, and the cold night rain is encountered, the temple and the yellow court are broken, all are miserable, suddenly suffered, yin and yang are forever separated, Chen Mu can't even borrow wine to pay tribute, a cup of north and south, can't do it.
After all, he escaped all the way, tired and hungry, the night rain brought coolness, like his mother's gentle voice and touch, Chen Mu gradually dozed off.
However, at this moment, the temple door was suddenly knocked open, and the outside was brighter than the inside of the temple, reflecting a slender figure!
Chen Mu woke up suddenly, and saw that the comer was carrying a knife on his waist, thinking that he was an officer and soldier who came to chase him, and he was also full of horror!
Although this Mazu Temple is dilapidated, the outer wall is still there, and it is not easy to escape.
"Instead of cowering, it's better to fight to the death!"
Although his father never let Chen Mu interfere in the affairs of the Gangzhong, but only let him study with peace of mind, but the elder brother secretly taught Chen Mu the secret skills of Xiangtang, and it was impossible for his father not to know about it, since his father acquiesced, Chen Mu also worked hard to cultivate.
However, Chen Mu has always remembered his brother's advice and does not dare to show off in front of others, so he has no experience in actual combat, although he often fights with his brother, it is impossible to really fight with his life.
What the elder brother taught him was the Hongjiaquan handed down by the national surname, the head of the five fists in the Lingnan Five Boxing and Thirteen Families.
This Hongjiaquan imitates the five forms of dragon, snake, tiger, leopard and crane, which can be practiced in one of the forms alone, or mixed, such as the tiger and crane double shapes, it can be said that Hongjiaquan is the source of Lingnan boxing.
Chen Mu is also inattentive on weekdays, but now he has no distractions, and he doesn't care about moves, his left palm is like a shield, and his right palm is hidden at the waist like a knife.
This style is called the thunderbolt bow, it is said that the five ancestors of Hongmen according to Qi Jiguang's art of war, the move that was realized, the momentum is like a full bow, and the fist is like a strong arrow!
Hong Jiaquan pays attention to cheering with his voice, Chen Mu pinned all his grief and anger on the angry shout, and killed from the shadows, drinking like thunder, and the comer was also startled!
"Go!"
The punch was like a cannon, and the comer was also flustered, and he didn't have time to draw his knife, so he could only raise his arms to block, but he was blasted out of the door by Chen Mu's punch and rolled down to the bottom of the steps!
Chen Mu made a move, changed his breath, stepped forward, and the tiger rushed down the mountain!
The man rolled in the mud puddle, dodging Chen Mu's trampling, and just about to stand up, Chen Mu's fist exploded into the raindrops again, and the pop was like pulling bamboo shoots, and the head hit!
The comer could only roll to the side and shout: "Don't fight, don't fight!" ”
Chen Mu heard this voice, and immediately stopped: "Fifth Uncle Pu? ”
The person who came was none other than the Tanjia fisherman Puwu!
Earlier, he said that he was going to Xinhui County to sell fish today, and he should have been delayed by the night rain and wanted to go to Mazu Temple to hide from the rain.
It's just that the Tan family never spends the night on land, because they don't believe in the natives, Pu Wu should have returned to the row of boats a long time ago, even if it was raining, he also had to go back, didn't he make a special trip to find Chen Mu?
Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"If I knew you knew martial arts, I wouldn't have come to look for you." Pu Wu stood up from the mud puddle, wiped his face, and walked into the temple, and Chen Mu followed him.
Pu Wu father and son have a life-saving grace for themselves, and they also prepared bags when they parted, and even gave Chen Mu a coil, this kindness is enough for Chen Mu to remember for a lifetime.
Pu Wu also said earlier that he didn't want to be involved, otherwise he wouldn't let Chen Mu leak and leave, but this time he came back to find Chen Mu, and Chen Mu couldn't help but be moved.
Hong Shuntang has many rudders, and there are countless strongholds, helping people everywhere, but now none of them dare to believe it, but they have received such favors as Pu Wu, Chen Mu has mixed feelings.
"Fifth Uncle ......" Chen Mu is studying with Gong Fuzi in the end, it is inevitable that he will be a little literati, and he wants to say some words of gratitude, but Pu Wu waved his hand.
"Don't say more, and go back with me first, the county is still searching everywhere right now, and you have nowhere to go."
Chen Mu just sighed lightly, followed Pu Wu, and left the Mazu Temple in the rain.
Although it was night, and there was rain blocking it, Pu Wu led in front, with deep feet and shallow feet, and slipped a few times, but finally returned to the row.
The Pu family did not sleep, there was no light on the boat, firewood was burning in the canopy, and the aunt of the Pu family was adding water to the iron furnace, and it was estimated that they had waited all night, and they didn't know how many times they had added water, and the family was relieved to see Pu Wu come back with Chen Mu.
Third Brother Pu was still a little resentful, but seeing that Chen Mu's face was pale, like a milk dog in the water, he couldn't bear it, but took the initiative to return to the cabin and took a set of dry clothes out.
His family is not generous, this set of clothes is relatively decent, and he is reluctant to wear it on weekdays, only when he goes out to the street to catch the market, or participates in the wedding banquet, he will wear it out.
Chen Mu didn't know the inside story, but he didn't dislike the clothes, he took a hot shower, changed his clothes, and the whole person got better.
Chen Mu has a long figure, wearing this coarse cloth short clothes, seven or eight points of stilt pants, revealing his hands and feet with fine skin and tender flesh, and his clothes seem to have shrunk a circle, and Brother Pu inevitably laughed.
The aunt of the Pu family and the third brother and daughter-in-law brought warm red rice and salted fish side dishes, Chen Mu was also full of tongue, her throat was stirring, and the aunt smiled a little clumsily, and said in Tanjia dialect: "Eat quickly." ”
Chen Mu nodded in thanks, but did not move the chopsticks, just sat cross-legged, looked in the direction of the canopy, and stood up when Uncle Pu changed his clothes and came over.
When Pu Wu saw Chen Mu like this, he inevitably sighed in his heart, although the local people were treacherous and shrewd, but the etiquette made people happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"Eat." After Uncle Pu sat down, Chen Mucai sat down again and picked up the bowl, although he was still chewing slowly, the bottom of the bowl soon saw the light, but Uncle Pu ate faster and had already put down the dishes and chopsticks.
The aunt served two bowls of bitter tea, although there was tea foam and a musty smell, but after eating dried fish and pickles, this bitter tea was refreshing and could remove bad breath, which was good.
The aunt and the third brother's daughter-in-law left knowingly, but the third brother Pu looked forward to it and was full of a sense of participation, but the fifth uncle glanced at him and said coldly: "You go to sleep too." ”
Brother Pu Sange muttered, in the end, he got into the cabin in disappointment, and he didn't dare to make trouble with his daughter-in-law, and the boat suddenly fell silent.
Pu Wu walked to the canopy, lit the fire, smoked the hookah, Chen Mu sat aside, and finally said: "Fifth uncle, I deceived you before...... I ......"
Pu Wu exhaled a thick and choking smoke, and waved his hand to interrupt Chen Mu's words: "Your father is the master of incense, the famous master of the Holy Hall, and now you are the only one left, and you are also lonely and cold, what are you going to do?" ”
In this way, Pu Wu already knows Chen Mu's true identity.
Chen Mu was slightly stunned, but soon thought it through, the government has now posted a notice, although the portrait is crude, but the description is complete, and it is not difficult to sit down, Pu Wu is not a stupid person, he knows the details of Chen Mu.
Knowing Chen Mu's life experience, he still dared to take in Chen Mu, which showed that Pu Wu was not afraid of being implicated, Chen Mu was now helpless, where would he be polite, and immediately said to Uncle Pu Wu.
"Fifth uncle, there is still an old man in the family who has been imprisoned, I want to rescue him, beg the fifth uncle to help me with this!"
Although Chen Mu was not favored by his father because of his father's appearance, but now that he thinks about it, his father did not let him get close to the gang, which was the greatest favor for him, and since he was a child, he did not let him suffer much, but he was just estranged from his father.
Although it can't be said that he is pampered, how can Chen Mu open his mouth to ask for help?
It's just that the father's relics can't be dug up by the government first, everything falls on Hebo, since Uncle Pu dares to take him in, he should have the ability, how can Chen Mu be self-conscious!
Pu Wu squinted slightly, and smoked another cigarette, the fire was reflected, the smoke was filled, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could see an outline.
"I don't have the ability to fish people from prison, so I left you here, followed the fishing, two meals a day, and kept you in hiding for a while, and when I went to the street to sell fish, I would help you find out some news by the way, and that's all I could do......"
"Although the local officers and soldiers are evil, they are not afraid to come to the beach easily, if you are willing to hide your name, learn to fish, marry you a woman, it is not difficult to hide for a lifetime."
Pu Wu's words are extremely honest, neither humble nor arrogant, and if he has something to say, it can be regarded as digging out his heart and lungs, but Chen Mu will inevitably be disappointed.
His father and brother died in front of him, he handed over his last wishes when he died, and the great hatred was on his shoulders, how could he survive on the Tanjia fishing boat for a lifetime!
"No, Fifth Uncle, the family has collapsed, how can I live alone? I want to save people, I want revenge! After Chen Mu finished saying this, he saluted and thanked Pu Wuxing, and was about to leave the boat again.
Pu Wu frowned suddenly, seeing that Chen Mu was about to walk out of the canopy, he finally sighed lightly and said to Chen Mu: "You stop me!" ”
Seeing that Chen Mu stopped, Pu Wu said angrily: "I don't have any ability, but my temper is not lacking at all!" ”
Chen Mu turned to Pu Wu and said: "I just don't want to burden the fifth uncle, since the fifth uncle can't help me, the kid can only do it himself, whether he succeeds or fails, at least he is worthy of his father and brother Yingling, it is better than shrinking here......"
When Pu Wu heard this, he looked at Chen Mu's expression again, and inevitably softened, and said to Chen Mu: "Although I don't have this ability, someone may be able to help you, so let's give it a try......
When Chen Mu heard this, he was also overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Pu Wu, but Pu Wu waved his hand and said: "Don't be busy saying thank you first, we are also in a hurry to go to the doctor, this person has a romantic temperament, prodigal behavior, and a reputation for being kind and giving, whether you can trust it, you have to judge for yourself......"
Hearing this, Chen Mu also fell silent.
