Chapter 2: Father's News

This cave located in the middle of the cliff has a narrow entrance, but it is actually very spacious inside. Ying Xiang carried the field chicken and strode inside. After walking a few feet away, the space of the cave is already the size of several houses, and it is the same as the interior of an ordinary person's room, with tables, chairs, benches, and beds.

An old lady dressed plainly was sitting under an oil lamp, accompanied by a woman in her thirties. The old lady was in her fifties, and although her face was wrinkled, she looked very young. Looks in good spirits.

Ying Xiang walked up to the old lady and shouted with a smile, "Grandma." He shouted to the woman next to him, "Auntie." Then he took the field pheasant and stood there in an orderly manner, waiting for the old lady to speak.

The old lady looked at her grandson with a serious face, and said in a deep voice, "Yun'er, do you know what went wrong today?" ”

Ying Xiang's big eyes turned around, and when he saw the people standing behind the old lady, he was glaring at him, and immediately said, "Grandma, I came back too late today, so grandma and aunt are worried." ”

The old lady pointed to the two bows on Ying Xiang's back and asked, "When you went out this morning, you only had one bow, why do you have two bows now?" ”

Ying Xiang took the new bow he exchanged for a wild goose in his hand, and said with a smile, "This is a grandson who exchanged a wild goose for the same family." Daddy's bow was too heavy for me to pull away. I'm using this bow just right. ”

The old lady beckoned Ying Xiang to walk in front of her, raised her hand and knocked on his head, "Yun'er, do you know what went wrong today?" Just now, the people told me about you using geese to help others. A family of three is a woman, and there is no weapon at home, how can I defend myself? You're right to give her a wild goose, we still have a stutter anyway. But you shouldn't ask for someone else's iron-tired bow. One of your geese is not worth an iron-tired bow. Have you forgotten how your dad taught you? Be a man with a chivalrous heart, not like a philistine. ”

Ying Xiang knew that his grandmother was angry that he had asked for someone else's iron tire bow, and he couldn't help but feel aggrieved, thinking that the geese I worked so hard to shoot down, why should I help others. But he didn't dare to talk back, because the old lady had always been so upright and kind. Seeing Huimin winking at him again, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Sun Er understands." Tomorrow I will return this bow to the little sister. ”

The old lady saw that her grandson was so sensible, so she showed a relieved smile. Although the old lady is a country woman, she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she has the style of everyone. She touched Ying Xiang's head and whispered, "Good news for you, when you went out today, your uncle came and brought us a dozen pheasants." It's already simmered in the pot, and the meal will start later. Your uncle also got news of your father. ”

Ying Xiang's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Where is my father?" ”

The old lady also said a little excitedly, "Your uncle said that your father appeared in Kaide Mansion a few days ago, and it is estimated that he is now coming to Taihang Mountain." I think he's coming for us. Your Uncle Huo Rui is not in good health, if you go to Erlong Mountain to guard these days, your father will definitely go to Erlong Mountain. But I want to warn you first, don't fight that stupid kid with the surname Niu. ”

Ying Xiang clenched his little fists, his little face flushed red under the oil lamp, and said loudly, "Grandma, don't be afraid. That little fool can't beat me at all. When my father arrives at Erlong Mountain, he will definitely defeat Niu Dasha. ”

The old lady and the woman next to her all laughed. The old lady feigned anger and said, "You kid, you give people nicknames. That's not good. What a bull is stupid and a cow is stupid, people are also heroes, don't call them stupid. ”

Ying Xiang snorted, twisted his neck and said, "I don't admit that they are heroes." I injured my Uncle Huo Rui, and robbed Uncle Huo Rui's stockade, sooner or later I will beat Niu Xiaosil to cry and avenge my Uncle Huo. ”

It turned out that the child named Ying Xiang was Yue Yun, and the little scholar who went out to fish with him was called Gao Huimin, the son of Yue Fei's eldest sister. Fifteen years old this year, he has already shown talent in the county school, and he is also a famous prodigy in Neihuang County. The old lady is her mother-in-law, and the one sitting next to him is Sister Yue.

Guarding the entrance of the cave was Yue Fei's junior brother Huo Rui. Since half a month ago, Niu Gao Dong first hit Erlong Mountain and robbed Huo Rui's village. Huo Rui took his mother-in-law Yue Yun and others to this extremely secret cave.

Because when capturing the mountain, Huo Rui and Niu Gao made a few moves, but they were beaten off the war horse by Niu Gao, which shocked the heart and suffered internal injuries. He has not been able to use force for half a month. Therefore, almost all of the food in the past half month was obtained by Yue Yun and Gao Huimin when they went out hunting. A few days ago, his mother-in-law's younger brother Yao Zheng met Yue Yun on the mountain road, and only then did he know that his sister was hiding in a cave. immediately came to the cave and invited my sister's family to Qingfeng Ridge.

This Yao Zheng is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and he is also a martial artist, and in the original history, he was the commander of the Yuejia army, and was responsible for protecting the Yuejia army's family. At this time, he was doing the third master on Qingfeng Ridge.

Qingfeng Ridge is also a famous village on Taihang Mountain, with tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, which can be called strong soldiers and horses. The big boss Zhang Yong, with an iron gun in his hand, also has the courage to be unstoppable. People give the nickname Zhang Mangdang. The second leader, Ma Fang, has great strength and strength, and the weapon he uses is a copper hammer, which is called the copper hammer Ma Fang. The third leader is Yao Zheng. Yao Zheng made good use of two simple knives and fought sharply.

This Zhang Yong and Yue Fei are both fellow villagers and fellow disciples, and they both worshiped under Chen Guangmen, the first shot in Xiangzhou. Later, Yue Fei switched to Zhou Tong, but Zhang Yong was rejected by Zhou Tong.

Later, Zhang Yong's father was forced to death by Xu officials, and Zhang Yong was angry and killed more than a dozen officials, and went to Taihang Mountain. Set up a village in Qingfeng Ling, and Huang Qianshan, the governor of Xiangzhou at that time, also sent troops to suppress Zhang Yong, but they were all defeated by Zhang Yong.

But the most difficult thing to provoke on Qingfeng Ridge is not Zhang Yong and Zhang Mangdang, but Zhang Yong's wife Yizhangqing. This Yizhang Qing is not the Hu Sanniang on Shuibo Liang Mountain. But when it comes to bravery, it is definitely more powerful than Hu Sanniang.

However, the reputation of Qingfengling Cottage is not very good, and it often robs merchants and villagers. Therefore, Yao Zheng joined Qingfengling, which made his mother-in-law very dissatisfied, thinking that his younger brother had embarked on a crooked path.

Yao Zheng also knew that his sister was dissatisfied with him, so he rarely came to Huo Rui's cottage. When he found out that Huo Rui had lost the cottage, his sister's family lived in the cave, and immediately asked his mother-in-law to go to Qingfeng Ridge to live temporarily for a while. But was rejected by the mother-in-law without hesitation.

The mother-in-law said directly, "I won't go to Qingfeng Ridge." It's dirty. ”

In a word, Yao Zheng slipped out of the cave. However, Yao Taigong has passed away, and Yao Zheng's relatives in this world are only his sister, so he still comes to the cave every once in a while.

This morning, when Yue Yungao Huimin had just gone out, Yao Zheng rushed over and said, "Sister, Wulang has news." Yesterday, I heard Zhang Mangdang say that Wulang led hundreds of cavalry troops to defeat Liao Chang's Kaide Mansion and saved tens of thousands of refugees, and was killing Taihang Mountain at this time. ”

The mother-in-law didn't believe it at first, so she asked repeatedly, "Zhang Yong, that kid isn't talking nonsense, right?" Didn't Gorou follow King Kang to Yingtianfu? How could he leave the army without permission and return to Kaide Mansion? ”

Yao Zheng smiled, "Sister, don't believe it. Now almost the entire cottage on Taihang Mountain has heard the news of Goro. Some people say that Gorou now has 100,000 troops. I heard that the entire Yingtian Mansion and Xuzhou Mansion were taken down by Wulang. Haha, I have long seen that Gorou is a general, but I didn't expect it to be really targeted by me. ”

But the mother-in-law did not look happy at all, but sank her face. Yao Zheng immediately guessed his sister's thoughts, and immediately said, "Sister, don't be angry, Gorou was raised by you, how can you be the one who made trouble." I guess it's a passer-by who spread the rumor, besides, Liao Changnai, the guard of Kaide Mansion, was born in white and did all kinds of evil, and Gorou should get rid of him. My sister asked passers-by, which one is not clapping? ”

The mother-in-law's face softened a little. began to inquire about Yue Fei in detail. But Yao Zheng is also hearsay, and he doesn't know Yue Fei's specific location at all. I only knew that after Yue Fei took Kaide Mansion, he continued to come towards Taihang Mountain. Yao Zheng estimated that Yue Fei was going to come to find trouble with Niu Gao and Dong Xian.

Yao Zheng smiled, "I think that bull fool Dong Manzi is going to be bad this time." ”

Mother-in-law Huo Rui agrees with Yao Zheng's analysis. Huo Rui was about to climb down the cliff and go to Erlong Mountain to see the movement. In case Yue Fei came, it would be better to inform his mother-in-law and Yue Yun's siblings of their whereabouts, otherwise Yue Fei would attack the village in anger, even if he took Erlong Mountain, the casualties would not be light.

Huo Rui knew that although Niu Gao and Dong Xian were reckless, they were both born generals, and they were extremely clever in commanding troops, and they were very difficult to mess with. Besides, although the two of them captured Erlong Mountain, they did not hurt the innocent. The old people in the village who were willing to go with Huo Rui were all sent down the mountain as gifts. The old, weak, women and children in the village, who are willing to stay in the cottage, can still stay in the cottage. When the mother-in-law went down the mountain, the black charcoal-headed cow gao also sent dozens of steps, wanting to recognize the mother-in-law as a godmother. After being rejected by his mother-in-law, he was not angry. Even his son Niu Tong was knocked down by Yue Yun several times under his nose and hit on his body, he didn't help the punch, just cheered for his son, "Silly boy, come on, knock this thin boy over, I'll let you drink today." ”

His son Niu Tong is also a rammer, and he doesn't call him Lao Tzu to help boxing, nor does he call the cottage soldiers to help boxing, so he fights with Yue Yun on the ground, if it weren't for his mother-in-law calling Yue Yun, it is estimated that Niu Tong will become a bruised panda.

Therefore, although Huo Rui was injured by Niu Gao and has not healed yet, he is willing to accept defeat, and he admires Niu Dong and the others very much in his heart. Now that he knew that Yue Fei might go to Erlong Mountain in the next few days, Huo Rui immediately prepared to go to Erlong Mountain by himself, but after being rejected by his mother-in-law, Yao Zheng wanted to go back to Qingfeng Ridge because of something, and he couldn't stay in Erlong Mountain, so he finally discussed for a long time and decided to send Yue Yungao Huimin, the two cousins, to Erlong Mountain Pass to guard. Although Yue Yun is young, he can also deal with one or two idlers, while Gao Huimin is clever and good at improvising, and the two of them take care of each other, which is enough to reach Erlong Mountain Pass.

The mother-in-law saw that Xiao Yue Yun was twisting his neck, with an expression of wanting to beat Niu Tong into a fool, and immediately glared at her, making a look of wanting to get angry, Yue Yuntian was not afraid of the ground, she was afraid that her grandmother would be angry and cry, so she hurriedly said, "Grandma rest assured, tomorrow I will go to Erlong Pass with Brother Huimin, and I will find a place to hide, and I will definitely not fight with Niu Xiaodu." When my father appeared, I appeared. If my father doesn't show up, I won't show up. ”

The mother-in-law smiled happily, "This is my good grandson." Huimin, tomorrow you are optimistic about your cousin, as long as he dares to be naughty, you will beat him. ”

As soon as Gao Huimin heard his grandmother's order, he immediately lowered his face and looked like he had swallowed Coptis chinensis. Gao Hui said, "Grandma, can we not joke? With my little arms and legs, how can I be Ying Xiang's opponent. ”

When he saw Yue Yun winking at him while clenching his fists and shaking at him, Gao Huimin's face became even more bitter.

The cave where his mother-in-law lived was only more than 20 miles away from Erlong Mountain, and early the next morning, Yue Yun and Gao Huimin took dry food, slid down the cliff along the rope, bid farewell to Huo Rui, and strode towards Erlong Mountain.

While walking, Yue Yun fantasized about his father's heroic appearance. He said to Gao Huimin, "I saw my father this time, and I also asked him to shoot me a big gun, and I will also go into battle to kill the enemy in the future." Brother Huimin, what weapon are you going to build? ”

Gao Huimin bent his arm and said with a smile, "Ying Xiang, look at my little arm, what kind of weapon can I hold?" It's pretty much the same for me to take the folding fan. ”

Yue Yun shouted loudly, "Okay, I'll ask my father to give you an iron fan weighing more than ten catties." Let you fan the wind well. ”

Gao Huimin hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't." I'm a man of letters, and I don't plan to go to war. ”
