"Hu'er, come in!" The old lady shouted for her high pet.

Gao Pet hurriedly got up, walked quickly to the old lady, and said respectfully: "Mother, the child is here!" ”

"Weiguo, come over too!"

Zhao Gou and Steward Wang also got up, they wanted to avoid it, but they didn't want the old lady to call out to themselves, so they had to walk in hard, but they didn't know what was going on.

The old lady looked up at Zhao Gou and said, "Defend the country!" The old body knows that your identity must be unusual, and you have been delayed here for a few days, and you must be leaving in a few days. The old man has something to ask for, Hu'er has never stepped out of this village, and I want you to take him away with me. ”

Before Zhao Gou could speak, Gao Zhong took the lead in objecting: "Mother, the child won't go!" ”

"The boy has ambitions in all directions, your ambitions are the same as your father's, if I hadn't dragged me down all these years, I'm afraid you would have already joined the army and followed in your father's footsteps!" The old lady knew better than anyone else about Gao Chong's thoughts, and then said: "Hu'er follows you and lets you send it." ”

Zhao Gou hurriedly replied: "Master, this ...... Never! ……”

Zhao Gou wondered in his heart, he didn't dare to let the first shot of the Southern Song Dynasty in the future follow him, as a slave and a servant. However, the old lady didn't know Zhao Gou's thoughts, so she forced Zhao Gou to agree, and it was reasonable, so that he was speechless to refute.

"Hu'er, you have to remember to follow Weiguo's side, you will definitely be waiting for your life, do you understand?"

Seeing that his mother was so firm, Gao Zhong said respectfully: "The child should obey his orders!" ”

The old lady has a strong temperament, if it weren't for the inconvenience of her legs and feet, she would have wanted to drive Gao Zhong out of the house and let him go to earn a living alone. However, Gao Pet's temperament is also stubborn, and she has been taking care of the old lady by her side, and she can't bear it, even if that person is her own son.

Seeing that Gao Zhong agreed, the old lady said solemnly: "Hu'er, you can take out that object!" ”

Gao Pet stood up and turned to leave. After a while, Gao Pet came in with a box in both hands, only a few tens of square centimeters, saying that it was not big or small. Zhao Gou, Steward Wang and the others looked at them curiously, thinking, "What's in this box?" ”

There was a shackle on the iron box, and the old lady got up and took out two keys from under the head of the bed, the first key was opened, and the second key was used to open it again, and then from it there was a wooden box and placed it in front of everyone.

At the beginning, Gaojiazhuang ran away from the water, and the fire burned for three days, and the fire was extremely large. No matter how big the fire is, even if it is a box that has to be protected at the cost of life, this makes Gao Pet a little confused. He had asked his mother before what was in this box, but the old lady never mentioned it, saying that the time had not yet come.

When the old lady opened the wooden box, she took out a silver mask from it, and wiped it gently, it still shone under the candlelight, and it was evident that the texture was very strong, even if it was a fire, it could not be baked bad, it could be said that it was taken out in time, otherwise it would definitely be destroyed.

"Mother, what is this?" Gao Zhong looked at the silver mask in his mother's hand in surprise, and always felt weird.

The old lady sighed, "This mask was made for you by your father, and there are other things. ”

Everyone looked at each other and was amazed!

The silver mask was so new that it hadn't been used at all, which made them a little unbelievable what it was made of. Then I heard the old lady say, "At the beginning, after your father left this spear, he himself forged this mask for you, saying that it was a pair. ”

Everyone looked at the old lady in surprise, and only heard the old lady say in detail.

It turned out that among the ancestors of the Gao family, there was a person named Gao Changgong, known as the "King of Lanling". At the beginning, in order not to let everyone remember his appearance, Gao Changgong often wore a mask to fight, and won many battles; In addition, the men in the Gao family are all handsome people, so they use this mask to cover them.

"Could it be that this mask belongs to the King of Lanling?" Zhao Gou asked stupidly.

The old lady smiled: "Of course not, the mask of King Lanling is long gone; This mask was left by my husband to Hu'er, with a tiger's head and a golden gun and a mask, it is bound to make the Gao family glorious again, make it famous, and shock the world. ”

Gao Pet couldn't put it down and stroked the silver mask, and then looked at the tiger head Zhan Golden Gun, both of which were left by the husband and wife, that is to say, his father seemed to know that he might not be able to come back, and he had already arranged the funeral, which made him have a kind of illusion.

In fact, the old lady gave everything to Gao Pet, that is, let him leave the house to fulfill his ambition, which is one of them; Second, it is because when he was a child, there was a Taoist priest who once said such a proverb: "The beginning and the end are connected to each other, and the beginning is also the end!" ”

At the beginning, Chen Guang and the old lady didn't take it to heart, until Gao Zhong was born and was hit by the tiger's head Zhan golden gun, which reminded him of what the Taoist priest said. He said that the rise of the Gao family is in this generation, and it is also the end.

To put it simply, the famous Gao family's middle fall is just fate, in addition to the ancestors of the Gao family, the descendants of the Gao family are becoming more and more unlucky, and even the Gao family's marksmanship, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury, accelerating the decline of the Gao family.

Similarly, in the next generation, there will be someone who can afford the Gao family, so that the Gao family will once again be powerful in the world. Originally, Chen Guang said that he was himself, and after knowing that Gao Zhong showed an extraordinary side when he was born, he believed that Gao Zhong was the hope of the Gao family's rise, so he arranged everything, and the only miscalculation was that he couldn't come back after joining the army.

In addition, the Taoist priest also said that such a situation is just a flash in the pan and will not last long; If you want to resolve this calamity, you can only rely on the power of others to change. However, such a person is hard to find, and the old lady always remembers that it happened that Zhao Gou came, and his identity was different, so the old lady directly regarded Zhao Gou as the person who changed her son's fate.

Zhao Gou saw that Gao Pet was about to speak and stopped, and said in a deep voice: "Master, why don't you leave with us!" ”

The old lady shook her head and refused with a smile: "What are you doing with the old man, it is better to stay here and enjoy your old age in peace!" ”

Zhao Gou said: "Master's words are wrong! Brother Gao is a filial son, if the master stays here alone, I am afraid that even if Brother Gao leaves, he will be worried, how can he do his errands with peace of mind? Only when the master and wife go together, there are no worries! ”

"yes!" Gao Pet hurriedly answered and persuaded him, "Mother, if you stay here, even if the child leaves, it will be difficult to settle down, so it is better to leave with the child." Now that there's no point in staying here, why not leave together! ”

"What the young master said is extremely true!" Steward Wang also persuaded him, "Old lady, don't worry, the young master's house is full of men, and there are fewer people to preside, as the so-called 'family has an old man like a treasure', with you, the old Taishan, so that the house will not be deserted!" ”

Everyone persuaded hard, the old lady insisted on her opinion, but she was unwilling to go, and in the end there was really no way, Zhao Gou had to coerce and force the old lady to agree. Because Zhao Gou knew in his heart that if there were any concerns, how could Gao Chong stay in the capital with peace of mind, only by taking the old lady away with him, so that Gao Chong could really leave this place and spread his wings.

So, everyone listened to the old lady's promise to go away together, and they were overjoyed, and began to prepare for leaving. Three days later, Zhao Gou, Steward Wang and others led Gao Chong's mother and son to leave this place together and embarked directly on the journey back to Beijing.
