Chapter 2: Looking Back
Soon, they simply packed some of their belongings, left home, and set out on the road to Shanxi. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info tried his best to make Huang Baolian happy along the way, and under the strong infection of Tiesuo's cheerful personality, Huang Baolian's mood slowly improved.
Although it is the first month of the year, the weather is still very cold at night. So every time in the middle of the afternoon, the old man began to look for a place to stay. Usually he chooses to spend the night in some rural farmhouse. Rural people are easy to talk to, just give them a few dollars, and they will entertain them very warmly, which is really warm and affordable.
When they went to bed at night, the three of them were huddled together on a kang and covered with a quilt. Yu Tiesuo often gets under the quilt and tickles Huang Baolian. At first, Huang Baolian would feel embarrassed and shy, but after a long time, she gradually got used to it, and always felt that there would be wireless fun with Yu Tielock.
One night, after Yu Tiesuo and Huang Baolian played for a while, Huang Baolian said: "You love to play all day long, haven't you ever bothered about anything?" ”
Yu Tiesuo said: "Of course I was troubled, I was unhappy for a long time when my eldest and my mother died, and later after being adopted by my grandfather, my personality slowly became cheerful. ”
Huang Baolian asked again: "Were your parents also killed by the landlord's family?" ”
After Yu Tiesuo heard this, he was silent for a while, and when Huang Baolian asked him again, he only told Huang Baolian about his life experience.
It turned out that the village where Yu lived before Tiesuo was called Heilongzhuang, and his parents were tenant farmers, and they had been renting the land of the big landlord Zhou Dafu's family, and 27 years ago, life was still passing. Since 1927, there has been a severe drought in Shaanxi, not a drop of rain has fallen for several years, the land has dried up, it is difficult to live on grass, countless peasants have starved to death, corpses are everywhere, people in order to survive, they do not choose to eat, grass roots, tree bark, loess, sawdust, etc., eat whatever they can think of.
Fortunately, Tiesuo's parents were careful and had accumulated some food on weekdays, and they barely survived for two years with grass roots and bark.
One day, Yu Tiesuo and his parents were eating, and there were two bowls of clear soup and half a sorghum noodle on the table. None of the three members of the family were reluctant to eat the half of the remaining dry food, pushing back and forth, humbly letting each other eat. In the end, the parents decided to give this half of the nest to Tie Suo to eat, and they only had the bowl of clear soup.
At that time, Tie Suo had just put the nest head to his mouth with tears in his eyes, and suddenly Zhou Dafu kicked in the door with his family.
This Zhou Dafu is the largest landlord in this area, and his family's land is rented by tenant farmers in several villages. There are also dozens of domestic thugs in the house. He was mean and ruthless, and often bullied the villagers, and no one among the tenant farmers was afraid of him, and he could only swallow his anger when he bullied him. Even during the great drought, he never sympathized with the life or death of the tenant farmers, and took the rent as much as half a tael, and beat anyone who did not pay, and came back after a while. Many tenant farmers either starved to death or were killed.
He kicked in the door and saw half of the nest in Yu Tiesuo's hand, snatched it up, and scolded: "Two dogs, you dare to lie to Lao Tzu, don't you say that there is nothing to eat?" What is it? Acquaintances, take out all the food in your house, or I'll slaughter all your dogs." ”
Yu Tiesuo's mother cried and said: "I beg you, the owner of the house, there is only half of the nest left in my family, it doesn't matter if my two adults starve to death, our iron lock can't starve to death, he is the only seedling of our family!" You can do it! In the next life, you will be a cow and a horse, and you will repay your kindness. ”
Zhou Dafu said with a smile: Hehe, I like to see you untouchables begging me, but it's useless for you to beg me, human life is not as good as dog life these days, if I waive your family's rent, then other people's will not be able to collect, in case of another few years of drought, won't I, the big landlord, also have to starve to death? So, I have to live, I can't control your life or death, I can only collect my rent. Tell me, where is your food hidden? ”
Yu Tiesuo's father said: "Our family really has no food, you just demolished our house today, and we have no food to hand over to you." ”
When Zhou Dafu heard what Tiesuo's father said, he immediately became angry. He turned around and said to the family behind him, "Big dog, call me." ”
After hearing Zhou Dafu's order, the big dog pounced without saying a word, and beat the three members of the iron lock family with a wooden stick.
In order to protect their son, Yu Tiesuo's parents held him under him, and no matter how the vicious dogs beat them, they also had to protect him tightly in Tiesuo. Don't let him get a punch or kick.
At this time, Yu Tiesuo shouted desperately under his parents: "Don't beat me, my mother, don't beat me, my mother ......"
Where would the family pay attention to him?
After fighting for a while, Zhou Dafu said: "Okay, don't fight, if I am killed, who will I go to collect rent?" Let's go, go to the next one. ”
After Zhou Dafu left, Yu Tiesuo saw that his parents had not moved their bodies away from his body for a long time, he called twice, but there was no response, so he pushed it away vigorously and saw that they were lying on the kang and did not move.
They died, they were beaten alive, without a breath.
Yu Tiesuo looked at his parents who died in front of him and cried: "Big, Mom, don't die, don't die...... Zhou dog thief, if you don't die well, I will definitely seek revenge on you......"
His cries were unanswered, and there was silence all around, except for the crow's wail. He was 10 years old.
Later, Yu Tiesuo left the house after burying his parents with the help of his neighbors, he didn't know where he should go, and followed the road out of the village to the east, I don't know how long he walked, and suddenly stumbled and tripped over a stone, and he never got up again.
When he woke up, he was already lying on a bed, and there was an old man sitting next to him, who looked like he was in his 60s, and his lean appearance couldn't hide his exuberant look, looking so kind and kind.
Speaking of this old man, it's a bit of a beginning. His name is Yang Shouyi, and his father's name is Yang Xiuping, who was the half-brother of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, who was the military advisor of the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan when he was in the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom. Yang Xiuqing was killed in the Tianjing Incident that year, and almost all of his family members were spared, but Yang Xiuping survived by luck. Yang Shouyi began to practice martial arts with his father at the age of 8, and later worshipped a storyteller as a teacher, his father died when he was 16 years old, and soon his mother followed. Since then, he has followed his master to wander around and live a life of traveling around the rivers and lakes.
He is chivalrous and benevolent, and he will help some poor and poor people in every place he goes, and at the same time, he will also offend some wicked people who are not kind to the rich, so he always stays in one place for a long time.
He was adrift all his life and never had a family. This time, when passing by this place, he happened to save Yu Tiesuo's life. After learning about Yu Tiesuo's life experience, Yang Shouyi felt that this child was pitiful, smart and well-behaved, and had a sweet mouth, he liked it very much, so he decided to adopt the child. Since then, Yu Tiesuo has lived with the old man Yang Shouyi.
During the day, the old man would take Yu Tiesuo to find some teahouses and restaurants to tell stories to make money, and in the afternoon or evening, when he was free, he would teach Yu Tiesuo some family martial arts. Yu Tiesuo is not very patient with martial arts, but he is very fascinated by storytelling, and has a good memory, he can remember what the old man said in the inn, and often imitate some heroes in the book to make his grandfather happy, slowly, his character becomes more and more cheerful and lively, and every positive shape all day long.
One day, after listening to a heroic story told by his grandfather, he suddenly said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, I have heard you tell so many heroic stories, but I think there are so many heroes, but none of them makes me feel perfect." ”
As soon as Old Man Yang heard him say this, he became interested and asked, "Why is it not perfect?" Tell me about it? ”
Yu Tiesuo said: "Let me give you a few examples! For example, Guan Yu, he is loyal and courageous, admirable, and worth learning, but his personality is too arrogant, which makes me feel uncomfortable, I don't like people who look down on people. Another example is Lin Chong in the Water Margin, he is strong in martial arts and upright, but he is too timid and afraid, and his personality is a little cowardly, I don't like it. Another example is Yue Fei, he has a heart of loyalty to the country, but he is a dead brain, he only thinks about serving the court, but he doesn't think much about the people of the Great Song Dynasty, knowing that the traitors framed him, and he is willing to die, who will fight against Jin if he dies? Aren't the common people the ones who suffer in the end? ”
When Old Man Yang heard this, he said happily: "Oh, good boy, what you said is a little interesting." So what do you think they should be? ”
Yu Tiesuo said with a smile: "I think it's perfect to gather all the points of theirs." ”
The old man said, "You want to be beautiful, how can people have no shortcomings?" If everyone is an advantage and has no disadvantages, is it still a human being? Isn't that a god? ”
Yu Tiesuo said: "From today onwards, I want to summarize the advantages of all heroes and learn from me, so that I will become more and more powerful, haha......"
The old man said happily: "Okay, grandpa also hopes that you can become a big hero when you grow up." ”
Since then, Yu Tiesuo seems to have changed little on the surface, but in his heart, there has been a earth-shaking change.
After the old man took Yu Tiesuo to wander outside for two years, Yu Tiesuo suddenly had a strong desire to avenge his parents. After his stalking and pleading with the old man, the two returned to Yu Tiesuo's hometown, and they did not return to Yu Tiesuo's original home, but found a few vacant rooms in the nearby Liuzhuang to live. When he has nothing to do, he continues to teach the iron lock martial arts.
They originally planned to kill Zhou Dafu's family in a few years, when Tiesuo's kung fu was successful, but the scene of Zhou Tianliang bullying Huang Baolian was bumped into by Tiesuo. It was really a narrow road, and the enemy was very red when they met, he mustered up the courage and smashed Zhou Tianliang to death, he didn't do anything, took advantage of the night to touch into the Zhou family's compound, set a fire, burned Zhou Dafu's family to death, and also got a thing on his mind.
