Chapter 15: Training Li Kui
If the Northern Song Dynasty had earplugs, Chao Chong would have liked to buy a pair, because Li Kui, who was tied and pulled behind the horse with his hands, screamed and scolded frantically. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If it weren't for Chao Chong to stop him, the grumpy Thunder would definitely rush up and beat Li Kui violently as soon as possible, and stuff Li Kui's stinky mouth with the weeds on the side of the road.
If it weren't for the fact that his hands were firmly tied and one end of the rope was held by a thunderbolt with the same strength as him, Li Kui would definitely take revenge as soon as possible...... No, no, it was to flee immediately, Li Kui, who had the instinct of a beast, understood that he had kicked the iron plate, and among the five people on the horse, except for a slightly older short man and a thin man with a bow on his back, he was easy to bully, and the treacherous little white face, the angry stupid big black, and the silent spearman were not easy to deal with.
I was tied and dragged for a long time, and I heard that they meant to send me to the government to receive a reward, so I'll take it! Although it has been several years, the court has not been pardoning the world, and his lawsuit is still on his body, if he is sent to the government, how can he still live. So when they want to scold, and when they hit themselves angrily, it's their chance. The stupid big black with an angry face is obviously the most gullible person, as long as he comes to his side, the hand holding the rope will definitely loosen sometimes, at that time we let you understand why my Li Kui's nickname is called "Black Whirlwind", you will regret it for the rest of your life for not tying my feet, hehe, sluts, wait for me to escape, just wait for Uncle Li Kui's revenge, hehehe
Ignoring Li Kui's clever tricks there, the group did not rush to the villages and towns where people lived before dark, so they had to settle down temporarily in the wilderness. Dismount to find a dry and flat plateau, find some hay and firewood to make a fire, and on a cool September night, the people unload the camping blankets from their horses, and take out dry food and water.
In order to prevent Li Kui from escaping, Thunder tied Li Kui to a nearby tree. Everyone gathered around the fire, roasted the dry food, ate some water, and talked slowly.
Li Kui, who was tied to a tree on the side, had not eaten for two days since he fled, and all he had valuable belongings was a pair of steel axes and a pair of pants tied with hemp rope. Now that the plate axe has been confiscated, the pants tied with hemp rope can't stop the gusts of cold wind blowing, plus the stomach growls, and the scolding for a long time also makes his mouth dry. Li Kui couldn't help but think about other things.
The eldest husband can stretch and bend, Li Kui's nickname is Tie Niu, and his face is thicker than cowhide, he changed his image of a villain who scolded him, and said with a smile: "Heroes, brothers, uncles, can you listen to me?" ā
Such polite words, popping out of the mouth of this black bear-like rude man, always give people a sense of unreality, especially with the smiling face like a chrysanthemum blooming.
Everyone looked at each other, but Chao Chong reacted first and said, "Black Whirlwind Li Kui, what do you have to say!" ā
Li Kui grinned, made a smile that he thought was honest and honest, and said: "All heroes must be well-informed. Have you heard of two famous heroes in Shandong? ā
Chao Chong said: "Which two are you talking about?" ā
Li Kui said proudly: "It is the timely rain in Shandong, Song Jiang and the Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai." Now, I have to tell this secret, Yuncheng and Song Gongming are my master, Chao Gai Chao Heavenly King of Dongxi Village, and that is my sworn brother. ā
Everyone laughed when they heard this, if it was someone else, they might not know it, the two of them knew each other too well.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Li Kui also muttered in his heart, it shouldn't be, the reputation of the two of them should be very high, how can these guys not be afraid when they hear it? If it were an ordinary person, without arguing the truth or falsehood, he would definitely treat me more favorably to avoid offending those two heroes. I couldn't help asking, "Don't you believe me?" ā
Chao Chong took a sip of the water in the gourd and said with a smile: "I believe half of it." I won't say if King Chao is your sworn brother or not. I believe this is true that Song Jiang is your master. Only a three-legged cat kung fu like him can teach a stupid apprentice like you! ā
Li Kui saw that someone had insulted the idol in his heart, and immediately scolded: "Shut up, Brother Song Gongming's chivalrous name is spread all over the world, how can his martial arts not be high?" ā¦ā¦ā
After scolding, Li Kui regretted that his strategy had not yet begun to be used, so he hurriedly changed his smile and said: "Hey, hey, I mean his kung fu must be very high, it's just that I haven't learned it well." "The speed of changing faces is staggering.
Chao Chong is a person who has seen the Water Margin, and he naturally understands Li Kui's personality, he admires Song Jiang very much, and in Li Kui's words, he is the only person who is good to him. Song Jiang's pampering of Li Kui is well known, and this pampering also makes Li Kui, a person who pursues happiness with loose discipline, grateful. But Li Kui also has his own standards of justice in his heart, after he misunderstood Song Jiangqiang and robbed the people's daughters, he angrily went up the mountain to cut down the banner of Tianxingdao, and killed Song Jiang. Although it was a misunderstanding, it can also be seen that Li Kui is not so much worshiping Song Jiang as he is worshipping the generous and righteous Jing God in Song Jiang.
Since Li Kui was met by himself, it is naturally impossible to let him run to Song Jiang's side, although he has no hostile relationship with Song Jiang now, but with the gathering of Liangshan heroes, the conflict between Chao Chong and Song Jiang will inevitably appear.
Chao Chong said to Li Kui: "Are you very familiar with Song Jiang?" ā
When Li Kui saw the other party's answer, he thought there was a door, and hurriedly said: "Of course, I have been practicing martial arts with him for many years." ā
Chao Chong said, "How old are you?" ā
Li Kui said casually: "Eighteen." ā
"Nonsense"
"Deceptive"
"Impossible"
Lei Ting, Chao Yang, and Chao Sheng sighed one after another, staring at Li Kui's swarthy face and thick red beard with a look of disbelief.
Chao Chong also said: "Are you lying to the ghost? Thirty-eight people believe you. ā
Li Kui smiled embarrassedly twice and said, "I've been recognized." Actually, I'm twenty-eight years old this year. ā
Chao Chong turned his head to Cao Zheng and said, "Brother Cao, this kid is not honest, let's kill him." ā
Li Kui was tied to a tree and twisted vigorously: "I can't kill it, I can't kill it, if you kill me, you will kill two people." ā
Chao Sheng stared at Li Kui's belly and quipped, "Why? Is it still pregnant with one, afraid that one corpse and two lives will not be successful? The crowd laughed.
Li Kui said: "I didn't dare to cut the path, but it was only because there was an eighty-year-old mother at home waiting to be supported that I did this helpless move for the first time, but in fact, I didn't hurt anyone." If I am killed by all the heroes, my mother will starve to death. Aren't they just two lives? After speaking, his eyes were full of tears.
Chao Chong said: "This is half credible, I believe it the first time I cut the path, seeing that you didn't even get all the clothes, and you didn't fatten yourself, you know that you are a chick." As for the eighty-year-old mother, you are twenty-eight this year, could it be that your parents gave birth to you in their fifties? It's not right to lie, but it's even more wrong to lie before you even learn the math of things. ā
Li Kui's words reminded Chao Chong of the Li ghost in the original book, who actually lied and said that he had a ninety-year-old mother in his family, and he was only thirty years old like Li Kui, could his wife still give birth to him when she was in her sixties? Even an illiterate person like Li Kui will be deceived.
Li Kui's lie was exposed, and he suddenly felt hot on his face, and he must have turned red. But because his face was already dark, outsiders couldn't see it, and muttered: "I'm pitiful anyway." And my master Song Jiang is very good to me, if you kill me, the master will definitely avenge me. Why bother? Why bother? Isn't it okay for everyone to be friends? ā
Chao Chong laughed; "Then do you want to let you go now and give you some food?"
Li Kuixi said: "Okay, okay, if you give me some more water to drink, it will be even better." Also, there's that I want a set of clothes, it's too cold right now. ā
Everyone laughed, ignored him, and put Li Kui there. Li Kui now understands that he has been tricked, and he is furious, and the roaring and scolding start again, and it will not stop for a long time.
Everyone ate and drank in ignorance, and slowly fell asleep around the fire, facing Li Kui's big horn, which requires psychological quality, but fortunately, everyone has a good mentality.
Because Chao Chong has a golden finger that quickly recovers his physical strength, he only needs to meditate for an hour every day, and he will be full of energy all day, so he takes on the duty of vigil every night.
It has been four days since I went out on the tenth day of September, and it is now fifteen, and the moon is very bright, and it is midnight before I know it. Cao Zheng and Lei Ting fell asleep wrapped in blankets. Li Kui was also tired of scolding, but he couldn't sleep, and the bright moonlight shone on his body, making him shiver for a while, it was so cold.
Don't look at the black body hair on your body, but it really doesn't keep out the cold!
Chao Chong meditated cross-legged and looked at Li Kui, taming wild beasts first requires the wildness in them, hunger, thirst, sleepiness, and beating are all methods. Then it is to eliminate hostility, feed with heart, and take care of it.
Judging from Li Kui's ability to scold, his Jing God is still there, and his wildness is even more full. But after all, people are no better than animals, so Chao Chong decided to give him a little food. So he walked over and untied the rope on Li Kui's body and dragged him down from the tree. Li Kui was puzzled: "What are you going to do?" Do you think of any way to torture me? ā
Chao Chong didn't answer, grabbed Li Kui's neck, pressed him to the fire, and said: "There is a big gap between you and me in strength, and if you want to catch you, you are between the backhand." Let's bake the fire first, I have something to ask you. ā
Li Kui also knew that he was not an opponent, but when he said it, he ran away, hehe, the name of my black whirlwind is not called in vain, but now it's better to bake the fire first, and then let's see what tricks this little white face plays.
The cold Li Kui approached the fire, comfortably warmed, Chao Chong casually threw him a gourd filled with water, Li Kui hurriedly took it, tilted his neck, and drank it in a big gulp, the gourd that could hold two catties of water quickly bottomed out, Li Kui was still unsatisfied. Chao Chong threw him another gourd, and Li Kui raised his neck and drank nearly half of it before he burped contentedly, and then his stomach gurgled and he was hungry.
Chao Chong took out a steamed bun with beef filling and roasted it on the fire, handed it to Li Kui, Li Kui was not afraid of being hot, swallowed it into his stomach three times and twice, he hadn't eaten for two days, where was one steamed bun enough! After speaking, he stretched out his hand and said, "Ten more, it's okay to be cold!" ā
Chao Chong slapped Li Kui on the back of the head casually, the voice was loud, and they were all awakened by the thunder, and looked at Chao Chong guarding Li Kui, out of trust in Chao Chong's strength, and fell asleep with confidence.
Li Kui touched his head and muttered: "If you don't give it, you won't give it, what kind of person to beat, it's so stingy." ā
Chao Chong glanced at the people who continued to sleep, and it felt good to be trusted.
Then he turned to Li Kui and said, "I gave you something to eat because I was afraid that you would starve to death, and I would not be satisfied." Let me ask you, where are you and why are you robbing? ā
Li Kui knew the truth that heroes don't suffer losses in front of them, and said: "My name is Li Kui, a person from Shouzhang County." The family was too poor, so he fled out and lived here, and was caught by the little brother for the first time. I really have an old lady at home waiting for me to support, so my brother will let me go. ā
Chao Chong smiled: "You are still lying, isn't your home in Baizhang Village, Yishui County?" It's been many years since you ran out, if it weren't for your brother Li Da, would your mother have been alive until you came to support you? ā
Li Kui was shocked and said, "Do you know me?" ā
Chao Chong said: "Then do you know me?" ā
Li Kui shook his head.
Chao Chong said: "You don't know me, how can I know you?" ā
Li Kui was puzzled: "But, you ......"
Chao Chong said: "But I'm right, right?" ā
Li Kui nodded.
Chao Chong said: "This is a heavenly machine, you don't need to know." Let me ask you, have you ever thought about going home to take care of your wife because you have been running away for many years because of murder? ā
Li Kui nodded and said, "It's said that night after night, I don't want to go back to visit my mother all the time." ā
Chao Chong said: "Look at your current virtue, can you go back?" Even if you go back, will you be able to support your old mother? The old man worked hard to pull you up, did he make you into such a set of clothes as you are now? ā
Li Kui shook his head and was silent.
Chao Chong continued: "If, I said yes, what are your plans to succeed in the robbery today?" Do you continue to be a robber as a promising career? ā
Li Kui shook his head and said: "I was introduced by a friend to go to Jiangzhou, where there is a dean of the Shenxing Taibao Dai Zongdai, and a friend introduced me to go there to find an errand. ā
Chao Chong said, "Why don't you go to Master Song Jiang, whom you admire?" ā
When Li Kui saw Chao Chong mention Song Jiang, he was a little excited and said: "You all know that I'm lying, where does Brother Song Gongming know a small character like me." Moreover, I have a life lawsuit in my body, and I can only implicate Song Gongming's brother if I go, and I went to Dean Dai in Jiangzhou because Dean Dai is in charge of the prison, which is convenient for me to hide my identity. ā
Chao Chong said: "Stupid! Even if you go to Jiangzhou to find an errand and hide your identity, do you know when you will be able to amnesty the world? How's your mother's health? Is the family well-off? Will your mother live until you come home? Have you thought about all of this? ā
Li Kui didn't think about it, but he didn't dare to think about it, he was speechless for a while, remembering that his brother Li Da was also an incompetent person, just relying on working for people for a short time, what blessing can the old lady enjoy? But he has been away from home for six or seven years, and when will he wait until two tears come out and ask, "What should I do then?" ā
Chao Chong said confidently: "The method is naturally there, and it is very simple for me. ā
Li Kui hurriedly said: "What method?" ā
Chao Chong snorted coldly, pushed Li Kui who came up and said, "Why should I tell you?" Stupidity! ā
Li Kui was very unconvinced, he thought that he was still full of wisdom, but he didn't dare to offend the other party easily for a while, so he could only hold back the urge to strangle Chao Chong.
Li Kui pestered again and again, Chao Chong was also a little annoyed, knocked Li Kui unconscious with a knife, put him next to the fire, put his own leather blanket on Li Kui, and continued to meditate.
Early the next morning, everyone got up, ate a little dry food, woke up the sleeping Li Kui, continued to tie up, and rode westward.
Walking to a small forest, Li Kui suddenly screamed, covered his stomach and said: "Guys, my stomach is uncomfortable, I want to take a soak, I don't know if it is convenient?" ā
Seeing Chao Chong nodding, Lei Ting dismounted and led Li Kui to a secluded place in the woods.
For going to the toilet, Chao Chong is still full of resentment. Although there was paper in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was something that the literati and scholars regarded as sacred things, and if someone wiped their buttocks with paper, they must have been insulted by these literati in every way, especially in this Song Dynasty, which emphasized literature and light on martial arts. Therefore, although Da Song paper is not expensive, it is not popular to use it for going to the toilet. I can only use that bamboo toilet chip, which is really painful.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Li Kui to go to the toilet, Chao Chong told Cao Zheng, Chao Yang and Chao Sheng a small story about going to the toilet, saying that during the Western Jin Dynasty, the general Wang Dun was recruited by the emperor as a concubine and married the beautiful Princess Wuyang, and the general finally had the opportunity to use the toilet used by the princess in the palace. When he got there, he saw a small lacquer box in front of the pit, and the box contained some dried dates. After going to the toilet, two palace maids came in, one carrying a basin of water, and the other carrying a glass bowl with some bath beans in the bowl. When the general saw it, he thought it was a drink, so he poured some water into the glass bowl and drank it with the bath beans. provoked the palace maid to hide her mouth and laugh. It turned out that the dried dates in the lacquer box in the princess's toilet were used to stuff the nose to prevent odor, and the water and bath beans were used to pour into the toilet to rinse. The latrines in the palace are so exquisite, and the general doesn't know about it, so he made this big joke.
When everyone laughed after listening to the story, Thunder suddenly rushed over from the forest and said, "Big brother is not good, Li Kui and this guy escaped while I was unprepared!" ā
Li Kui is happy now because he has finally gotten rid of those hateful guys. He first pretended that it was inconvenient to untie his trousers, begged to untie his hands, and then took the opportunity to smear oil on the soles of his feet and run into the forest to escape.
The nickname of the black whirlwind, one is because he is black, and the other is because he runs like a gust of wind, which is called a fast.
Li Kui scolded in his heart while running, little white face, stupid big black, spear man, dwarf man, little thin monkey, you wait, I, Li Kui, remember you, and wait for my revenge in the future. As for now, it's better to run away first, a few of them are too powerful, and I'm not an opponent.
Li Kui ran while saying cruel words in his heart, and finally ran to a big road, the little white face was right, or secretly go home to see how his mother is, waiting for the amnesty to the world I don't know when?
Li Kui was thinking about it, and suddenly raised his head and was startled, when did these guys go around in front of me.
Chao Chong looked at Li Kui and sneered: "I actually want to escape, fight this guy!" ā
