One afternoon, every household in Li Wencun pasted the Spring Festival couplets written by Li Yanqing, he had hundreds of Spring Festival couplets in his stomach, and every household could not be the same, the Spring Festival couplets he wrote were both novel and auspicious, and the news spread quickly, causing a sensation in ten miles and eight towns, and there was an endless stream of people who came to ask for the Spring Festival couplets, and Li Yanqing did not refuse, and responded to requests. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even the shops in Lushan Town came to the door to beg Li Yanqing to write Spring Festival couplets for them, but Li Yanqing was not polite to the store, and wanted to charge a pen fee, he wrote more than a dozen good couplets in one breath at a price of 500 yuan per family, and earned a sum of New Year's money.

The New Year is coming, the biggest thing for every family is to prepare to worship the ancestors, although the small family is not like the Li family to build a ancestral hall, but almost every household has cleaned out the main hall, put the ancestors' spiritual position card, and put chickens, ducks, fish and a few snacks, burn incense and light candles, the whole family is ready to worship the ancestors on the first day of the first month.

On the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, every family was busy cooking Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, cooking smoke was thick, the village was filled with the smell of bacon and rice wine, Li Daqi was called by the patriarch to the ancestral hall to help, their family has never had a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, Li Yanqing would go to Uncle Hu's house to eat in the evening.

Li Yanqing was bored in the backyard to practice beating stones, a copper coin was hung on the jujube tree, he stood three zhang away and hit the copper coin with a stone, Da Hei was busy picking up stones for him, he hit a stone, Da Hei rushed over, took the stone back and put it at his feet, and the courtyard heard the sound of tinkling copper coins from time to time.

Suddenly, Da Hei screamed outside the wall, Li Yanqing wondered in his heart, what would be movement outside, he climbed up the wall, only to see a person walking from the woods in the distance, tall and burly, wearing a Fan Yang hat, wearing a short soap coat, carrying a whistle stick on his shoulder, carrying a small burden and a wine gourd.

This dress is very similar to Lin Chong on the Water Margin, but when this person approached, Li Yanqing's first feeling was that this person was not a good person, with dark skin, a long thin face, a two-inch-long scar on his cheek, and a pair of triangular eyes that were particularly cold.

At this time, he also saw Li Yanqing, for fear that Li Yanqing would run away, so he asked from afar: "Little brother, is this Li Wen Village?" ”

His accent is not local, and the shopkeeper of the tavern has the same accent, from the capital, Li Yanqing said: "This is Li Wencun!" ”

"Is there a man surnamed Hu in your village?"

There is no surname Hu, but there is a homonym surnamed Hu, Li Yanqing's heart moved, could it be that he came to find Uncle Hu?

He immediately shook his head, "There is no surname Hu in the village, uncle is mistaken!" ”

The man walked outside and asked: "It's right that you are here in Li Wen Village, Xiaohe Township, maybe he has changed his name to something else, he is a very strong man, in his thirties, he looks like a bear, he is as tall as me, and his martial arts are very powerful, think about it, is there such a person?" ”

Isn't this Uncle Hu? A trace of vigilance rose in Li Yanqing's heart, this person doesn't look like a good person, don't come to trouble Uncle Hu!

He was just about to deny it, when Hu Sheng's voice came from the path next to him, "Bian Laosan, how do you know that I am here?" ”

As soon as Dahan turned around, his face was full of surprise, "Brother Hu, I finally found you." ”

Hu Sheng was not happy, and still said coldly: "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

Dahan was a little embarrassed, and replied for a while: "Someone saw my brother in the town last year." ”

"Humph! Even figuring out which village I live in, you really have a heart! ”

"Brother, don't say that, Sect Leader Fang also admires ......."

"Shut up!"

Hu Sheng stopped the comer, he glanced at Li Yanqing who was sitting on the wall, and said coldly: "Since you have come, then go to my house and talk!" ”

Dahan hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him, walked forward quickly and said with a smile: "How is the eldest lady's health?" Do old injuries still flare up in the winter? ”

"Let's talk about it later!"

The two of them walked from the path, and Li Yanqing on the wall was full of surprise, Sect Leader Fang, is it Fang La, isn't Fang La the Sect Leader of Manichaeism?

This year is 1111, Li Yanqing remembered a major event that happened this year, the Song Dynasty's finances were tight, and the emperor Zhao Ji appointed Yang Jian to set up a 'scraping field' in the east of the capital in the spring of this year, forcibly occupying the fields, increasing taxes, destroying people everywhere, and countless unjust cases.

At the same time, in the southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, the 'Suzhou and Hangzhou should be served as the Bureau', to collect all kinds of folk flowers, stones, bamboos and rare treasures, and transport them to Bianjing by large ships, and form a gang for every ten ships, which is the famous 'Flower Stone Gang'.

These two events were the fuse of Song Jiang and Fang La's uprising, but at this time they had not yet revolted, but they had already begun to prepare in secret.

When Li Yanqing contacted the man just now, he vaguely guessed that it was probably Fang La who was going to recruit Uncle Hu.

However, from their words, Li Yanqing felt that Uncle Hu's life experience was not simple.

Li Yanqing couldn't sit still any longer, so he jumped off the fence and ran towards Uncle Hu's house.

Li Yanqing ran into the courtyard of Uncle Hu's house, and saw Xiao Qing'er squatting alone by the vegetable patch playing in the mud, she was a little unhappy, pouting, and ignored Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing saw that the door was closed in the Westinghouse, and it was estimated that Uncle Hu and the big man were talking in the Westinghouse.

At this time, Li Yanqing heard Aunt Hu talking in the kitchen, so he quietly walked to the kitchen, it turned out that Aunt Hu was talking to her daughter-in-law.

"Mother-in-law, who is that person, who is so generous, it is fifty taels of gold when he comes up."

Li Yanqing secretly thought, fifty taels of gold is five hundred taels of silver, this is not a small number anywhere, this person is recruiting Uncle Hu!

"We can't ask for gold, Dalang will definitely return it to him, daughter-in-law, this person is not a good thing, we have to be vigilant."

"Mother-in-law, what did Da Lang do before, why haven't I heard you talk about it?"

Qing'er's surname is Zhang, Li Yanqing has always called her Aunt Zhang, her mother's family is in the Daimyo's Mansion, and Uncle Hu is not from the same place, Li Yanqing heard Aunt Hu talk about her, but even Aunt Zhang didn't know what Uncle Hu used to do, which shows that Uncle Hu's origin is mysterious.

"Didn't I tell you that? Da Lang was originally a martial artist in the capital, and he wounded people and fled to Tangyin County. ”

"But I don't feel like it, the person just now is clearly called Da Lang Er Da Wang, mother-in-law, you tell me the truth, Da Lang used to be ......."

Li Yanqing became more and more curious, could it be that Uncle Hu was a robber who occupied the mountain as the king in the past?

Aunt Hu was a little unhappy, "You have been married for five years, Qing'er is three years old, what do you want to do with Da Lang's past?" Isn't he good to you? ”

'Bang! Mrs. Hu threw the pot heavily, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, Li Yanqing was so frightened that she hurriedly leaned down and dug mud on the ground.

Aunt Hu walked out of the kitchen and happened to see Li Yanqing, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Qing'er, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Yanqing squeezed out an innocent smile, "Auntie, I'm playing with Qing'er in the mud!" ”

"Oh! When will your father come back, we will have an early Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. ”

"Lady, I forgot to say that my father will accompany the patriarch in the ancestral hall tonight to keep vigil, and will not come back for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."

Aunt Hu smiled, "It seems that your patriarch values your father very much, this is a good thing, then go and wash your hands, Qing'er, you also go to wash your hands with your second brother." ”

Li Yanqing stepped forward and took Qing'er's hand to the well, at this time, neither mother-in-law nor daughter-in-law spoke, and each walked towards the main hall with vegetables, the door of the West House suddenly opened, only to hear Hu Sheng say coldly: "You can leave after eating!" For the sake of brotherly love, I won't turn my face with you today, but don't bother me again in the future. ”

"Brother, why are you so tough? Do you have to teach the master to persuade you? ”

"Shut up for me, if he dares to come, I'll report it directly!"

"Doesn't my brother even want gold?"

Immediately after, 'Bang! Slapping the table, Hu Sheng said angrily: "You take the gold back, I don't want it!" ”

The man was also angry, and shouted: "The surname Hu, I will also advise you in the end, this is the Fang Sect Leader who can afford you, don't toast and don't eat and drink!" ”

"Get out!"

Hu Sheng was furious and dragged the man into the courtyard, "Get out of here!" ”

The man was also furious, grabbed Hu Sheng's neck with his backhand, and the two rolled over in the yard and tore apart.

Li Yanqing hurriedly pulled Xiao Qing'er over, wanting to protect her, but when Xiao Qing'er, who was usually weak, saw that someone was bullying her father, she suddenly became extremely fierce, rushed over like a little tiger, hugged the man's thigh, and bit it down hard.

The pain made the man scream, Hu Sheng took the opportunity to shake him off, pulled his daughter over, and handed it to Li Yanqing, "Take care of her!" ”

Li Yanqing hugged Xiao Qing'er to death, only to feel that she was struggling desperately and wanted to help her father fight, as if the bravery in her bones was stimulated at this moment.

At this time, Mrs. Hu also rushed out of the kitchen with a knife, pointed the knife at the man and angrily rebuked: "Bian Laosan, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the old lady doesn't want to turn her face with you, I haven't forgotten the past, if you dare to come again, we will settle the new accounts and old accounts together." ”

The scar-faced man didn't continue to fight in the end, he looked at their mother and son, then at Li Yanqing and Xiao Qing'er, restrained his anger and said: "Since this is the case, I won't force it, I will go back and report to the sect leader truthfully, and let the sect leader call the shots!" We'll see you later. ”

With that, he turned around and left in a rage.
