Chao Chong and Shen Tulie, father and daughter, took a carriage and finally returned to Dongxi Village on the 29th of the lunar month. The pen "Fun" Pavilion felt www.biquge.info strong festive atmosphere, and Chao Chong was also very happy. took Shen Tu Lie's father and daughter to meet his father Chao Gai first, and learned that Chao Chong accepted Shen Tu Lie as a retainer, and Chao Gai was also very generous, and gave Shen Tu Lie a house and ten acres of fertile land.

Mother Wang also likes the little girl Shen Tujing, and specially assigned a little maid to take care of her daily life.

Soon Chao Yang and Chao Sheng, who got the news of Chao Chong's return, rushed over, and the brothers talked about the old days, and asked people to go to Yuncheng County to inform Lei Ting.

Li Kui took the money back to his hometown to visit his mother, so he was not there.

In less than an hour, Thunder came on a fast horse, although he had only been seen for more than ten days, but the brothers still had to wash the dust for Chao Chong.

The banquet was set up, and everyone sat down.

Chao Chong introduced Shen Tu Lie to everyone: "Shen Tu, a single name is a martyr, and people give the nickname Thousand Hands Ren Tu." Born in Shaolin, the two ring knives are dedicated to killing wicked people and ghosts. Now my retainers! ”

Shen Tulie followed Chao Chong's advice, and no longer dressed as a header, his hair was neatly combed, a blue hairband was tied, and the beard on his face was neatly groomed, and he looked heroic.

Shen Tu Lie bowed his hand to everyone and said, "In Xia Shen Tu Lie, I have seen all the young heroes!" ”

"Thousand-handed slaughter?"

"Born in Shaolin?"

"Retainers?"

Chao Sheng, Chao Yang, and Thunder have different focuses.

Chao Chong filled the wine to everyone, raised the wine bowl and said, "Come, drink a bowl first, and then I will tell you the story of me and Shentu in detail!" ”

Everyone raised bowls and touched each other, and after the clanging sound, they raised their necks and drank a bowl of wine.

Chao Sheng was curious: "What is the Thousand Hands Human Slaughter?" ”

Chao Chong smiled at Shen Tu Lie and said, "Shen Tu, tell them about your experience after going down the mountain, and it will also increase their knowledge!" ”

When Shen Tulie finished talking about his experience after coming down from the Shaolin Temple, everyone shouted happily.

"This chivalrous and righteous act is what my generation should do!" Lei Ting cheered loudly, and then said to Chao Chong: "Big brother, when will we go to the rivers and lakes again, we will also go to kill those unrighteous people, rob the rich and help the poor, and help the suffering!" ”

Chao Sheng also said: "Yes, yes, I can't wait." ”

Chao Yang was silent, and after filling the wine bowl for everyone, he also stared at Chao Chong eagerly, and it seemed that he was also very moved.

Chao Chong laughed and said: "With our brothers working together, where can the rivers and lakes go!" There will be a chance soon! Here, another bowl! ”

The crowd was again in a bowl of wine.

Chao Yang looked at Shen Tu Lie and said, "Since Shen Tu was born in Shaolin, he must be a master?" ”

Chao Chong said: "It's not me who strikes everyone, Shentu's martial arts are probably the highest among all of us!" ”

Shen Tulie hurriedly said modestly: "The lord's words are serious, I think all the young heroes are heroes and heroes, how can their martial arts be bad." What's more, I was defeated in the hands of the lord, how dare I hold it up! ”

Lei Ting and Chao Yang heard Chao Chong say that Shen Tu Lie's martial arts were strong, and suddenly a belligerent impulse poured out, if it wasn't for Chao Chong to catch the wind and wash the dust, I'm afraid they would have already put forward a request to have a competition.

Chao Sheng's focus was not the same as theirs, and he said, "Lord? Retainers? Big brother, Shen Tu kept calling you lord just now, this title is so strange! And when you introduced it just now, you said that Shentu is your retainer, what is going on? ”

Chao Chong smiled and said, "It's normal for you to feel strange, because these two words have not been used in my Great Song Dynasty for a long time. Today's Great Song Dynasty is reckless in the rivers and lakes, calling each other brothers; the army of officials, known as the same year; Hire a foil and honor the title of shopkeeper; Enslave vassals and call the master master. However, in the dynasties before the Great Song Dynasty, when the Han Dynasty was prosperous and the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, a group of like-minded people, for the common goal, shared wealth and hardship, and opened up their own foundation. The leader is called the Lord and leads everyone to choose the right path. Followers are called retainers, sacrifice their loyalty, and rush to the front! Just like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei served Liu Bei, Cao Ren Xiahou served Cao Cao, and Qin Qiongwei served King Qin. Share the blessings and the difficulties. ”

Chao Chong pointed at Shen Tu Lie and said, "Because Shen Tu is willing to sacrifice his loyalty, and even give his life, I recruited him to become my first retainer!" ”

Shen Tu Lie got up and hugged his fists and said: "Shen Tu has always been grateful for this, and he is willing to follow the lord to create a foundation!" But there is a drive, and the charge is in the front! ”

Chao Yang, Chao Sheng, and Lei Ting listened to Chao Chong's explanation and stayed for a moment.

Chao Sheng was the first to react, puffed and knelt on the ground, and said with a face full of unwillingness: "Big brother, no, lord!" I, Chao Sheng, have been by your side since I was a child, and if I absorb retainers, I should be your first retainer! I have no ill will towards Shentu, but this first retainer belongs to me! If I don't agree, I can't afford to kneel! ”

Chao Yang also said: "Yes, my Chao Yang and my mother have always received your great kindness, and there is nothing to repay, only their own loyalty, the lord is above, please accept my worship!" After saying that, there were three bangs on the ground.

Lei Ting smiled, touched his head and said, "I'm stupid, but the eldest brother said that we are like-minded brothers, and you will definitely be able to create a career with us." The eldest brother is the lord, and we will be your retainers! After saying that, he also slammed his head on the ground.

Chao Chong laughed, and he was not pretentious, and helped the three of them up one by one and said, "Okay, from today on, I am your lord, and you are my retainers." Just like Liu Guanzhang back then, let the name of our brother resound all over the world! ”

Shen Tulie had already filled the wine bowl. Everyone raised their bowls together.

"To the Lord!"

"To my retainers, my brother!"

"!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for being recognized by more than three people and obtaining the achievement --- Master Lv1. +1 for Intelligence, +1 for Politics."

Chao Chong was secretly happy in his heart, not only was the tiger's body shocked, the overlord's spirit was scattered, and he gained the loyalty of the four people, and there were achievements to take. That's great! I'm really the protagonist of Destiny.

In a joyful atmosphere, the four years of Zhenghe came to an end, and the five years of Zhenghe, the year that opened the era of the Water Margin, finally arrived.

Chao Gai Zhuang has been ushered in, and there is an endless stream of friends in the rivers and lakes, busy until the fifteenth day of the first month.

Chao Chong drinks and feasts with his brothers every day, pushes cups and changes lamps, and his life is also very delicious.

On this day, while drinking, the butler Fauber walked in; "Young master, there is a big man outside the door who is anxious to see you."

Chao Chong put down the wine glass and said, "Who?" ”

Fu Bo said: "A reckless black man, carrying an old woman on his back, looking very flustered, and his clothes were stained with blood, so I arranged them in the wing room first. ”

Fu Bo has followed Chao Gai for many years, and often encounters this kind of hero who has fallen into trouble in the rivers and lakes, which is nothing more than being hunted down by the enemy or wanted by the government. Chao Gai is never afraid of trouble, as long as they enter Chao's house, they will be protected by Chao Gai. It is precisely because of this that Chao Gai has created a great reputation in the rivers and lakes.

Chao Chong groaned slightly, got up and said, "Take me to see!" ”

In the past, those heroes in the rivers and lakes were looking for their father Chao Gai to ask for help, and it was rare to find their own help.

Chao Sheng and the others also had no intention of drinking, and they clamored to follow along to see it.

When everyone arrived at the side room, they saw Li Kui sitting on a stool covered in blood, bowing his head and sobbing.

Everyone and Li Kui shared the tribulation, and when they saw this, Chao Chong hurriedly said: "Tie Niu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Kui looked up and saw Chao Chong and them, rushed over and hugged Chao Chong, and cried loudly: "Brother, good brother, Tie Niu has no mother, Tie Niu has no mother!" ”

Chao Sheng and the others understood as soon as they heard that Li Kui's mother should be gone, so they all came over to persuade him. Li Kui just howled and cried, and couldn't listen to anyone's words.

Chao Chong saw that Li Kui couldn't speak clearly, and said to Fu Bo; "Fauber! Didn't you say it was two people? If the situation is urgent, why hasn't a doctor been arranged? ”

Fauber was also confused: "It shouldn't be." When I first entered the door, only this big man was injured, and the old lady was still fine! ”

When Chao Chong heard this, he hurriedly walked to the side of the bed without Li Kui, only to see a thin old woman lying on her back on the bed, Chao Chong staring at it

Name: Chen Lee

Health: 20/120 (dying)

Commander-in-Chief: 1

Force: 4

Intelligence: 9

Politics:1

Charm: 6

Trait: Blind (Blinded by crying)

Isn't this still dead? Chao Chong pressed the old woman's pulse again, and felt it carefully, there was still a slight pulse.

Chao Chong was overjoyed, and silently recited in his heart, "Equivalent exchange!" "Soon 100 health points were transferred. These 100 HP points are not worth mentioning for Chao Chong's current HP of 2620 points.

Chao Chong saw that the old woman hadn't woken up yet, so he probed her snort and found that her breathing was already very even, so he was relieved. It seems that the old lady must be too tired, it is asleep.

Chao Chong, who had settled down, saw that Li Kui was still crying, tears flowed out as if he didn't want money, his heart was angry, he went up to push away Chao Sheng and Thunder, kicked Li Kui over, and scolded: "Your mother is not dead, you cry a bird!" Cry, cry, you know cry, I've never seen a fool like you! ”

But after thinking about it, Li Kui's poor intelligence of 4 points is comparable to Gao Yanei.

Li Kui was kicked awake, and when he heard Chao Chong scolding him, he came to his senses, got up with a grunt, grabbed Chao Chong's clothes and said, "Boss Chao, what you said is true?" My mother is not dead? ”

Chao Chong comforted Li Kui and said: "Of course, if you enter my Chao family, how can you let her old man have another accident!" After speaking, he pulled Li Kui to the bedside and said to Li Kui: "You shout softly, don't make noise to her old man's house." You try your snort with your fingers! ”

Hearing this, Li Kui hurriedly covered his mouth, and then stretched out his fingers that were as rough as wooden sticks, and tried the old lady's snort tremblingly with a contradiction of disbelief and hope.

Sure enough, there is, and it's smooth!

Li Kui jumped three feet high excitedly, wanted to shout and hurriedly covered his mouth. Pulled Chao Chong outside the house and said, "Boss Chao, this, what's going on?" I tried it before you came in, but I didn't breathe, and I was scared to death!

Then Li Kui said to Chao Sheng, Chao Yang and Lei Ting: "Hehe, I have a mother again!" I have a mother again! ”

Everyone was frightened by Li Kui's surprise, and Chao Chong smiled and said: "Brothers, let this guy Li Kui lie and fight this guy!" ”

The brothers laughed and stepped forward to hit Li Kui, Li Kui squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, but laughed hehehe: "It hurts, it hurts, I'm not dreaming, my mother is alive again, it's so good, it's so good!"

After the joke, Chao Chong instructed Fu Bo to make some nutritious soup, wait for Li Kui's mother to wake up, and then pull Li Kui to the wine banquet, after introducing Shen Tulie and Li Kui to each other. Everyone raised their glasses and drank a bowl of wine together.

Only then did Li Kui tell his experience after returning home.

It turned out that Li Kui got a few hundred taels of silver from Chao Chong, and he was happy in his heart, missing his old mother very much, and he didn't care about what the government wanted, so he went back to Baizhang Village directly.

When I went back, I bought a lot of large and small bags, hired an ox cart to pull them, and gave gifts when I saw people. The villagers in the village saw that Li Kui was generous and received his benefits, but no one went to the county seat to report him for the New Year. So Li Kui had a good year at home.

Li Kui also lied to his mother that he was a big official.

People say that Zhizi Mo Ruo's mother, although Li Kui's mother Chen was blind from crying because she missed Li Kui for too long, but Li Kui's lie was broken as soon as she heard it. But the old lady didn't say anything.

Who can be deceived by the lies made up by people with 4 points of intelligence? For example, Li Kui's brother Li Da has not been deceived, and Li Kui's sister-in-law Chen has not been deceived.

They were worried about the hundreds of taels of silver in Li Kui's baggage. That's a huge amount of money to buy forty or fifty acres of land! The temptation for Li Da, who has struggled all his life and only has a few acres of thin fields, is too great.

So, during the Chinese New Year, Li Da traveled hundreds of miles to the county government, denounced his younger brother Li Kui, and took the officials home to arrest Li Kui.

Li Kui hurriedly carried his old mother behind his back and escaped from the bloody road. Li Da and his wife not only ignored Li Kui's hundreds of taels of silver, but also cheekily went to receive the reward for the accusation.

Li Kui sighed and said: "I ran all the way with my mother on my back, and I was chased and killed several times, and I didn't know anyone, so I had to go to Boss Chao." I'm not afraid of chasing and killing, but the poor old lady didn't enjoy a few days of happiness with me, but ran all the way and almost lost her life. At that time, when I found that my mother was not breathing, my regretful intestines were blue, but fortunately I was rescued by Boss Chao. I'm not stupid, my mother will be fine as soon as Boss Chao enters the house, it must be your spell! I'm kowtowing to you! ”

After speaking, Li Kui bowed his head and bowed, and there were three rings.

Chao Chong helped Li Kui up and said: "We are brothers who have gone through hardships together, your mother is our mother, don't be too outside!" ”

Li Kui sighed and said, "If only my eldest brother Li Da could think like this." ”

Thunder opened his mouth to say something, but Chao Chong raised his hand to stop him. Li Da is Li Kui's biological brother anyway, no matter how bad it is, it shouldn't let us comment on it.

Chao Chong raised his glass and said, "Tie Niu, don't think too much, let's have a good drink together, and then I'll let you witness a miracle." ”

After everyone raised their glasses and drank together. Li Kui said curiously: "Boss Chao, what miracle do you have for me to see!" ”

Chao Sheng, Chao Yang, Thunder, and Shen Tulie were also a little curious.

Chao Chong smiled: "Tie Niu's mother is blind, right? Then I'll restore her to the light! ”

Chao Yang smiled: "Big brother, is it like a miracle that my mother's legs are restored?" ”

Chao Chong nodded and said, "Since you are the closest person to me, I might as well reveal a little secret to you." I did get taught by a man of God, a little trick. ”

Chao Chong won't say the secret of the system, but there are a lot of things about the gods and ghosts of the Great Song Dynasty, and Chao Chong doesn't mind taking it and using it.

Li Kui was overjoyed when he heard that his mother's eyes could be restored, and he urged impatiently: "Boss Chao, take Tie Niu to have a look." ”

Chao Chong shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient, your mother is asleep because of excessive fatigue, you shouldn't wake her up in such a hurry, it's not good for her body." You think everyone wants you to be as strong as a cow! ”

The crowd laughed.

Li Kui was embarrassed to urge again, but he couldn't do it anymore, and kept walking around the house.

It wasn't until it was dark that Fu Bo sent someone to inform him that Li Kui's mother had woken up.

Chao Chong led everyone to the wing, Chao Chong drove the irrelevant people out of the wing, and said: "The person who once taught me magic said that the secret of heaven must not be revealed. But because you are the closest people to me, I don't mind showing your magic in front of you, but you have to rot what you see in your stomach, and you are not allowed to confide in outsiders. Otherwise, it may have a bad impact on me, will you agree? ”

Chao Sheng said: "Big brother, don't worry! We will not say half a word! ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I swore an oath."

Li Kui also said: "Although I Tieniu is stupid, I am not stupid, I know what I can say and what I can't say." ”

In fact, if they don't divulge this secret, it won't affect them at all. Chao Chong's emphasis is actually to create an atmosphere. The shared secret is also a way to strengthen team cohesion.

If someone reveals that they know magic, it's not a big deal, but now is not the time.

Chao Chong walked up to Li Kui's mother Chen's bed and said, "Auntie, I'm a good friend of Tie Niu, I want to see you sick, is it okay?" ”

When Chen heard everyone come in and what they said, he knew that Chao Chong was not a mortal, so he hurriedly said: "Just look at it, the old man is very grateful." ”

Chao Chong nodded, put his two fingers together, pressed them on Chen's eyes, and silently recited "equivalent exchange" in his heart.

In a few moments, Chen's eyes healed. Chao Chong knew through the character panel that Chen's eyes had recovered, and said, "Auntie, try to open your eyes and try to see things clearly?" ”

After all, Chen has been blind for many years, and although he recovered, he was not used to it for a while, and after blinking many times, he finally saw things clearly. Li Kui pouted in front of his mother's window and cried: "Mother, Tie Niu is here, can you see me?" ”

The old lady of the Chen family touched Li Kui's face excitedly and said, "My hard-working iron bull, my mother finally sees you again." ”

Li Kui's mother and son hugged their heads and cried, and everyone was sad to watch.

The son wants to raise but does not treat, this is the most tragic thing in the world, fortunately, due to Chao Chong's intervention, Li Kui did not leave such regrets.

Li Kui's matter is not so easy to solve, after all, he killed the official messenger and escaped under the pursuit of the government, I am afraid that the wanted notice has been posted all over the Shandong territory.

And he came all the way to Yuncheng, and the traces were too obvious. With Chao Chong's ability, this matter can no longer be solved. can only rely on his father Chao Gai to settle it.

Chao Chong told Chao Gai about Li Kui's matter in detail. Chao Gai pondered for a moment and said, "Eliminating traces is not a problem, I have many friends who specialize in this. I won't let the government find out here. ”

Chao Chong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." ”

Chao Gai said: "In this way, it will cost at least two hundred taels of silver to operate." Is it worth it? ”

Chao Chong understood what Chao Gai was asking, nodded and said, "I promised to protect their mother and son, and I must do it." ”

Chao Gai's eyes were blazing, and he stared at Chao Chong for a while, and Chao Chong also looked at his father unwaveringly.

Chao Gai finally nodded and said, "Very good, manly man, a promise." My son should be the best of them. Remember your persistence! Whatever you want to do, Father paves the way for you! ”

Chao Chong was a little moved and said, "Thank you, father!" ”

Chao Gai looked at Chao Chong lovingly and said, "Silly child, how can we talk about thanksgiving between father and son." When you used to do nonsense, I wanted you to get out of the house. But in the past three years, you have been doing better and better, and the time you spend at home is getting shorter and shorter, and the eagle should leave the nest to fly, but your mother and I are really reluctant to ......"

Chao Gai didn't say any more, Chao Chong lowered his head and clasped his hands, the upcoming fate made Chao Chong always have a sense of urgency, so he invisibly ignored his parents' feelings. remembered the way Li Kui hugged his mother and cried bitterly, and he also taught Chao Sheng and them at that time that "the son wants to raise but does not treat the kiss", but did he really understand this sentence?

Chao Chong raised his head and said with a smile: "The child understands, I'll go to my mother's place to have a look." ”

Chao Gai nodded in satisfaction.
