It rained overnight, and by the next day the surroundings had gradually become brighter, and the rain had already lightened, only a few small drops of rain were scattered and scattered.

The thatched hut was in shambles, as if it had been looted by thieves. Ke Rong was lying in the middle of the ground and hadn't woken up yet, his clothes had been torn to the point that only pieces of rags remained, and his body was covered with scars, not a single piece of skin remained, and the blood that flowed out of the scars had solidified on his skin, looking very miserable. Only the wooden bed where the woman lay was lying was as it was, and there was no sign of destruction.

Ke Rong slowly opened his eyes, and at this time, bursts of pain surged up from all parts of his body. He gritted his teeth, got up with difficulty, walked to the wooden bed, looked at the woman in a daze, and after a while, Ke Rong turned around stiffly, like a zombie, and walked to the outhouse, brought in a basin of water from the outhouse, put it next to the wooden bed, and picked up a clean towel, soaked it in the water for a while, and then twisted it, carefully wiping the woman's cheeks and the back of her hands. When he finished wiping and got up, he looked around and saw a piece of cloth falling in the corner of the wall, and the handwriting on it could be faintly seen. Ke Rong picked up the piece of cloth, and when he saw the handwriting on it, he couldn't stop crying.

Child, don't be sad when you read this letter, don't cry, you have to be strong and live. Don't let my death deprive me of fighting spirit. There is a hero's blood flowing in your body, and with your Wen Taowu strategy, you will definitely be a great hero commanding thousands of troops in the future, and at that time, I will be blinded by my mother.

Don't feel lonely, child, although I am dead, I have not left you, I have just changed the way to accompany you. I'll keep an eye on you.

Child, you have grown up and there are things to tell you.

Thinking of this, Ke Rong's hands kept trembling, and his haggard face was already covered with tears. Ke Rong glanced at his mother's corpse and continued to read the letter.

Twenty years ago, the Song army sent troops to attack Fangla and besieged Qingxi County.

Fang La was very grateful to Ke Yin, and also appreciated Ke Yin's talent, so he married his beloved daughter Princess Jinzhi to Ke Yin.

The lightning-fast union of Ke Yin and Princess Jin Zhi in this special period also has some political overtones, but this does not affect the relationship between the two of them, and their relationship has developed very rapidly after their union, and they both love each other deeply and live a happy life that they will never forget.

Two months later, the Song army attacked Qingxi County again, this time Ke Yin personally went out of the city to meet the whereabouts of the battle, and the Song army took advantage of the situation to break into Qingxi County. Fang La was captured alive by the Song army in a panic and beheaded.

Under the protection of her personal maid, Princess Jinzhi took advantage of the chaos to escape from Qingxi County and went around to inquire about the whereabouts of her husband and father, and when she learned the news that her father was killed, she wanted to commit suicide several times, but she still chose to endure humiliation and steal life for the child in her womb.

Princess Jin Zhi took refuge with her pregnant body, and later fled to the foot of Baihuling, where she was taken in by a kind hunter, Zhang Quan, who also gave birth to her and Ke Yin's child.

After Princess Jin Zhi gave birth to a child in Zhang Quan's house, in order not to drag down Zhang Quan's family, she took the child who was still a baby to Linying County to live an incognito life.

Princess Jin Zhi followed his husband's surname and named the child Ke Rong, hoping that he would one day be able to redeem the honor of the family.

When Ke Rong read this, his body trembled violently, and he was hit hard again. In the past twenty years, Fang La, the great villain who has been ingrained in his heart, turned out to be his maternal grandfather, and his beloved mother was the biological daughter of the thief, and she had hidden a big secret from herself in the past twenty years. Ke Rong's heart was tumbling violently, he couldn't accept this fact, for the first time in his heart, he questioned his mother, and he also doubted the nursery rhymes he heard every day, and he began to question everything in the world again.

Ke Rong gave himself a slap in the face, blaming himself for this unfilial thought, and continued to read the suicide note.

Child, I said so much to let you remember, you are the grandson of Jiangnan Wang Fangla, the son of the great hero Ke Yin, and the blood of heroes flows in your body.

Child, I really want to live to the moment when our family is reunited, I really want to see him again, even if it's just for a short time, but today I

Ke Rong read this and found that the remaining words had been removed. Ke Rong looked at the corpse of Princess Jinzhi with tears on his face, and looked through the letter several times without finding any traces, before he put the letter away, and said to Princess Jinzhi in a firm tone: "Mother, don't worry, I will find my father, no matter the ends of the world, I will bring my father to you." ”

After Ke Rong finished speaking, he brought the basin to the outhouse, and took out a set of gray cloth clothes from under his bed and put it on his body, and walked out of the thatched house.

There is not a single guest in the Lin Ying Hotel, and the huge hotel lobby is extraordinarily empty and quiet. The shopkeeper was lazily lying on the table, and the shopkeeper of the hotel, Uncle Chen, glared at the shopkeeper viciously, and then came to the door of the hotel, picked up a stool and sat down, looked at the drizzle outside, and muttered: "This ghost weather is about to mess up my business." ”

Uncle Chen continued to look down the street as he spoke, hoping that a few guests would come, and at this moment, Ke Rong walked past the front of the hotel with stiff steps.

"Xiao Zhongyou," Uncle Chen waved at Ke Rong and shouted, but Ke Rong ignored Uncle Chen as if he hadn't heard it at all.

"The stinky boy dares to ignore me, I will teach him a lesson today," Uncle Chen saw Ke Rong ignoring himself so much, so he scolded fiercely, then ran to the back of the counter and took out an umbrella and shouted to the shopkeeper: "I'll go out, you take a good look at the store," Uncle Chen said so and then held up the umbrella and followed in the direction of Ke Rong's walk.

There is a coffin shop not far to the west of Lin Ying Hotel, probably because of the rain, the door of the coffin shop is still closed.

"Knock knock" Ke Rong came to the door of the coffin shop and knocked lightly a few times.

After a while, the door of the coffin shop opened, and an old man with a full beard and a strong body stood in the door and stretched, and when he saw the young man in front of him, he asked in some surprise: "Xiao Zhongyou, what are you doing here on this rainy day?" ”。

"Uncle Wang, my mother has passed away, I want to buy a coffin and some yellow paper," Ke Rong said expressionlessly.

"Isn't your mother good?" Uncle Wang looked at Ke Rong with an incredulous expression and asked, "How could you suddenly say that it was gone?" ”

Listening to Uncle Wang's words, Ke Rong's body trembled obviously, and then raised his lifeless eyes to look at Uncle Wang, his eyes were full of tears.

"Alas, life and death are determined by heaven, don't be too sad child," Uncle Wang comforted and invited Ke Rong into the house.

"I didn't expect that Xiao Zhongyou, a well-known filial son, would serve his mother to death. This," Uncle Chen said sarcastically and walked into the room, swallowing the rest of his words back when he saw Ke Rong's cold gaze.

Uncle Wang glared at Uncle Chen fiercely, then walked to the counter, took out some yellow paper from the counter, came to a coffin, put the yellow paper on the coffin and said, "A pair of coffins plus these yellow papers, you can give me a tael of silver." ”

When he heard a piece of silver, Ke Rong's face suddenly became more difficult to look at, he took out 50 copper coins from his body and handed them to Uncle Wang, and begged in a low voice: "After I have this money on me, can I pay you back the rest of the money in a few days?" ”

Uncle Wang returned the money handed over by Ke Rong, and said bitterly: "Child! Don't blame me for being ruthless! I also live on this kind of trading, and I can't afford to lose this tael of silver! ”

"I'll pay you back?" Ke Rong continued to plead.

"What are you going to change?" Uncle Wang stared at Ke Rong tightly and asked.

Ke Rong was a little overwhelmed under Uncle Wang's gaze, and he thought for a while before he said, "I have a lot of strength, I can help you work until the coffin money is changed." ”

"I can't afford to hire anyone for this little business! And you don't know how to use this craft, how can I use you? Uncle Wang said helplessly.

Ke Rong listened to Uncle Wang's words, and felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, he lowered his head and didn't know what to do.

Uncle Wang looked at Ke Rong's appearance and felt a wave of sympathy in his heart, and after being embarrassed for a moment, he said: "I saw you carrying an antelope back yesterday, if you haven't eaten it yet, you can use that sheep to exchange it with me." ”

"Then you wait, I'll bring it to you," Ke Rong ran out without waiting for Uncle Wang's reply.

"Alas," Uncle Wang looked at Ke Rong's back as he ran out, and sighed lightly, "Poor boy! ”

"How do you pity him, why don't you give him your coffin?" Uncle Chen came to Uncle Wang and said with some sarcasm.

Uncle Wang shook his head bitterly and did not speak.

"That dead sheep has been left out for a night, and I don't know if it can be eaten?" Uncle Chen looked at Ke Rong's back, as if he was talking to himself and as if he was reminding Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang ignored Uncle Chen, walked to the counter and took two stools, handed one to Uncle Chen, put the other stool at the door, and looked at the drizzle outside.

After a long while, Ke Rong ran back panting, and whispered with a dejected face: "Uncle Wang, when I went home, the antelope was gone, and I searched for a long time and didn't find any traces. ”

"Do you think one of your sheep is worth a piece of silver? I took pity on you before agreeing to change with you," Uncle Wang's face suddenly became ugly when he heard Ke Rong's words, and he said in a cold tone: "If you don't want to change, just say it, you can't insult my wisdom with such a low-level lie." ”

"That's not the case," Ke Rong explained anxiously: "I obviously carried him home yesterday, but today it suddenly disappeared, and I don't know why, Uncle Wang, I didn't lie to you, I really didn't lie to you." ”

"Hehe, the dead sheep grew wings and flew away?" Uncle Chen said playfully, walked to Uncle Wang's side and whispered in Uncle Wang's ear: "The two of them have already eaten the sheep, and the two of them have eaten a whole sheep at once, I think his mother was strangled to death by the mutton!" Hehe. ”

Uncle Wang glanced at Uncle Chen and waved his hand impatiently at Ke Rong and said, "Whether what you say is true or not, don't lie to me, anyway, if you don't have an antelope now, I won't be able to help you." ”

After listening to Uncle Wang's words, Ke Rong lowered his head in despair, slowly turned around, and was about to leave when Uncle Chen suddenly said, "I paid for Xiao Zhongyou's coffin." ”

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Wang was incredulous, he never thought that the old man in front of him, who was known for his stinginess, would actually take out his own pocket to help others, Uncle Wang gently clasped his ears and felt that he should have heard it wrong.

"Thank you Uncle Chen, I will pay back your money in the future," Ke Rong expressed his gratitude to Uncle Chen.

"Thank you and I'll accept it, you don't have to pay back the money!" Chen Bo looked at Ke Rong's smug face, paused for a moment, and then continued: "I can help you, but there must be a condition. ”

"On what terms?" Ke Rong hurriedly asked without thinking.

"The condition is that I will help you pay for the coffin, but you will show me a set of fist and kick kung fu now," Chen Bo looked at Ke Rong's anxious appearance and felt even more proud.

Ke Rong listened to Uncle Chen's conditions, his face suddenly became complicated, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then clenched his fists and made the final decision, "Okay, as long as you can pay for the coffin, let me perform anything." ”

"Haha," Uncle Chen was deeply proud of his victory, he turned his face to Uncle Wang and said, "Don't you have a small backyard in your house?" How about you and I go to watch the show together? ”

Uncle Wang didn't agree with Uncle Chen's approach, but he didn't come out to stop him, because he also wanted to see Ke Rong's skills, so he led Uncle Chen and Ke Rong to his backyard.

Uncle Chen picked up the stool next to the door with great interest and followed Uncle Wang over. Ke Rong walked behind Uncle Chen with a cold face and walked through the front hall of the coffin shop, and after a long and narrow corridor, Uncle Wang pushed open the back door, stood under the eaves outside the door, and looked back at the two people behind him.

After Chen Bo walked out of the back door, he put the stool in a place where the rain could not be drenched, sat on the stool, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at the center of the backyard with Ke Rong's figure.

The backyard is not large, and on all sides of the backyard is a wall that is taller than a person, and in the center of the backyard there is a willow tree. Ke Rong walked out of the back door, ignoring the rain falling in the sky, and walked straight to the side of the willow tree, standing there straight, looking at Uncle Chen with cold eyes.

At this time, Ke Rong's clothes had been soaked by the rain, and the clothes stuck to his body clearly outlined the young man's strong muscles. The rain that fell from the sky fell on Ke Rong's cold face, so that Ke Rong had to reach out and wipe the rain off his face.

Uncle Chen looked at Ke Rong, who was standing in the rain for a while, with a smug face, and said lightly: "It's time to start."

Hearing this, Ke Rong didn't speak, clenched his fists, took a step forward, and danced with a loud shout.

In a house on the south side of Lin Ying Street, an antelope skin was lying quietly next to the entrance door. The door to the back room was not closed, and from the door there was a smell of alcohol, meat, foot odor, and sweat, and these smells mixed together made people feel dizzy. In the middle of the room was a large round table, and in the center of the round table was a bottomed wooden basin, and beside the basin rolled down several wine jars, from which some wine flowed down the table to the ground. On the ground lay a large man, the sound of snoring and grinding teeth from them echoed throughout the room.

One of the men in the pile was resting his head on the stomach of a tall and thin man, and his feet were asleep on the head of a fat man. From the corners of Junko's slightly smiling mouth, you can tell that he is having a sweet dream.

At this time, the saliva of the fat man under Junko's feet flowed from the corners of his mouth, down his cheeks, and he licked his lips from time to time, maybe he was also eating the delicious collar mutton in his dream, at this time a piece of fat slipped to his mouth, and he took a hard bite without thinking.

"Oh Mom! It hurts, it hurts," Junko wailed like a pig, sat up suddenly, kicked away the fat man on the side, and scolded: "Your mother, why are you biting my foot?" ”

The obese man woke up from his dream, understood the reason for the incident, and then looked at the dirty foot that he had bitten himself, and vomited while apologizing.

Junzi kicked the fat man a few more times before relieving his hatred, glanced outside, thought of the big thing to be done today, and scolded and kicked those who were still in a sweet dream, so there were bursts of lazy complaints in the room.

The rain has been falling, there is no intention to stop, in this rainy day the whole Lin Ying County seems to be very quiet, only in the backyard of the coffin shop there is a gray figure, in the body of the body fluttering fists and feet, and the powerful momentum he exudes between the body dances makes this young man have a majesty like a god descending. And this person is Xiao Zhongyou Ke Rong.

On the side of the backyard, Uncle Wang and Uncle Chen, who were hiding under the eaves, were also fascinated.

Ke Rong also used all his strength between the movements of his body, as if venting all the anger in his heart, every punch and kick would bring up gusts of strong wind, making the surroundings whirring.

"Ah" shouted Ke Rong looked at the two people under the eaves with resentful eyes, and slammed his fist into the willow tree in front of him.

There was a muffled sound of "bump", and the willow tree with thick arms was broken by Ke Rong's punch and slowly fell to the ground.

Uncle Chen and Uncle Wang were stunned when they saw the situation in front of them, they both knew that Ke Rong was a little capable, but they never thought that Ke Rong's strength could be so terrifying.
