Shi Qian, who was eavesdropping on the side, immediately turned back and told Li Kui and Yang Lin what he heard and saw, Li Kui was furious when he heard it, and said through gritted teeth: "This dog. Mother-raised, pickled popper! I poured out a penny for him, and spared my life, but he wanted to harm us! Heaven and earth can't tolerate it! ”

When he turned around and hid at the back door, at this time, this Li ghost was about to open the door and go out when Li Kui grabbed the neck, and the woman next to him saw that it was not good, and went out of the front door in a hurry, and the speed rabbits were her grandson.

Li Kui caught Li Ghost without saying a word, he directly pressed to the ground, and when he pulled out his waist knife, he cut off the big head of Li Ghost when he got up and fell, and when he ran to the front door with the knife to find the woman, he didn't know where he went.

The three of them came into the house again, Shi Qian went to the room to search, only to see that there were two bamboo cages in the house containing some old clothes, Shi Qian turned over again, and found some broken silver and a few pieces of hairpin ring jewelry from under the old clothes, and Yang Lin went to Li Gui to search for the small silver ingots and put them in his arms. And Li Kui also went straight to the kitchen, and when he looked at the pot, ten liters of rice were already cooked, steaming hot.

The three of them were hungry for a long time, and they devoured it at the moment, and after eating, a fire burned Ghost Li's house, packed up their things, and continued to hurry.

By the time they arrived at Dongdiandong, it was already sunset and dusk. The three of them ran directly to Li Kui's house, pushed the door open when they came closer, crossed the courtyard, and came to the house, only to hear Li Kuide's old lady sitting on the bed and asking, "Who came in?" ”

Li Kui saw that his old lady was blind and sat on the bed to chant Buddha, tears flowed down at the moment, and his legs knelt down as soon as he was soft, and Li Kui's knees were used as feet, and he came to the front of the old lady, choked and said: "Mother, it's me, I'm an iron bull, the iron bull came back to see my mother!" ”

When Li Kui's mother heard this, she trembled with excitement and tears came down, because she was blind and couldn't see Li Kui, so she touched Li Kui's face with both hands, and said excitedly: "My son, you are finally back, but you miss your mother, and you have been living there for the past few years?" Your eldest brother is just working for a long time in other people's homes, and the two of us depend on each other for our lives, and our lives are passable! Mother, I often think about you, tears run dry, so blind eyes. How have you been doing these years? ”

Li Kui was just about to tell his intentions, but after thinking about it, he said: "If I say that I will not go to Liangshan, I can only deceive the old lady, and then explain to the old lady when I get to Liangshan." ”

At that moment, Li Kui hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother, let me tell you a great news, Tie Niu is now an official, and he has come to pick up his mother to enjoy the blessings." ”

When Mrs. Li Kui heard that her son had become an official, she was naturally happy, but after thinking about it again, she said: "My son is out of luck and gets ahead, my mother is happy!" It's just that I'm blind for my mother, how can I get it? ”

Li Kui waved his hand and said: "Mother, you don't have to worry about this, there are two brothers who came with your son, and there are three of us who will be fine. ”

Mrs. Li Kui still refused, and said: "You wait for the eldest brother to come to discuss, and then our family will go together, your eldest brother has suffered a lot for you over the years." Li Kui was afraid of his brother, and he was afraid that his brother would come back to expose him, so he said eagerly: "Hey, mother, wait for him to do something, I will first pick up my mother to enjoy the blessings, and then I will come back to pick up the eldest brother, let's go, it will be dark if I don't leave." ”

At this moment, I saw Li Kui's brother Li Dati walking in with a basket of rice. As soon as Li Da came in, Li Kui saw it, smiled, and stepped forward to worship: "Brother hasn't seen you for many years, how are you doing?" ”

Li Da saw that it was Li Kui, so he didn't fight when he was angry, threw the basket in his hand to the ground, pointed at Li Kui and scolded: "What are you doing when you come back?" Now that the government is still wanted by you, you still want me to go to the lawsuit for you when you come back, go quickly! ”

Li Kui's mother next to her heard that her two sons were arguing, and wanted to come forward to stop her, but she was blind, so she had to sit on the kang and persuade hard, and said: "Oh, don't be angry, don't be angry this time, Tie Niu is now an official and comes to take me to enjoy the blessings of the past." ”

When Li Da heard this, he was even more angry, and immediately said: "Mother! Don't listen to him fart! At the beginning, he killed people and taught me to put on shackles and chains, and I suffered a lot. Now I have heard that he and the thieves of Liangshanbo robbed the law field and made trouble in Jiangzhou, and now Liangshanbo has become a robber, the day before yesterday, the official document wanted by the Jiangzhou government arrived, and he went to his hometown to hunt down this guy, and he wanted to arrest me to the official to take the blame for you, fortunately, the rich man explained for me: 'His brother has not been where he has been going for more than ten years, and he has never returned home, is he not a person with the same name and surname?' 'I also made some money for me, and I escaped a catastrophe, and now the county town has a reward of 3,000 yuan to catch him! You don't know whether you live or die, and you're talking nonsense! ”

Li Kui heard his brother's words, and immediately said: "Oh, my brother, don't be angry, don't be angry, you and I go up the mountain to be happy, drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat in a big piece, and be at ease when the time comes, no more than ten million times stronger than here." ”

Li Da was furious when he heard this, and he raised his fist to hit Li Kui, but he couldn't fight him, so he directly glared at Li Kui fiercely, and then turned around and ran out.

As soon as Li Kui saw his brother running out, he patted his head and said: "He will go to call someone to arrest me, and he won't be able to leave if he wants to, so as not to suffer a lawsuit. When the eldest brother came back to see him, he definitely won't chase after him. ”

At that moment, Li Kui untied his waist bag, took a big silver ingot, put it on the bed, and then followed the old lady and said: "Mother, I will carry you to enjoy the blessings." ”

Mrs. Li Kui asked, "Tie Niu, where are you carrying me?" ”

Li Kui said: "Mother, you don't ask me, and when the time comes, I will honor you well." ”

Li Kui carried his mother at the moment, Yang Lin Shiqian and the others followed behind, and the three of them went out and walked along the path. And said that Li Da went out of the house, came directly to the house of the rich man Zhang, saw the rich man Zhang, and immediately told the matter, he led a dozen or so villagers, and hurriedly returned to the house, but at this time the old lady was gone, and he saw a big ingot of silver left on the bed.

Li Da saw this big ingot of silver, and said secretly in his heart: "This silver must have been left by the black guy, and Tie Niu left the silver to carry his mother there?" There must be someone in Liangshanbo who came with him, if I rush to pour him down and ruin his life, I think he will go to the cottage to live happily behind his mother's back, or not, the old lady will enjoy happiness. ”

The other people who came with him saw that Li Kui had long since lost his place, and they all dispersed at the moment, and when everyone left, Li Da said to the villagers: "This Li Kui carried my old lady and didn't know where to go, there are seven or eight small roads here, how to catch up?" ”

Not to mention how Li Da lived, and said that Li Kui and the three of them were afraid that Li Da would lead people to come, so they carried Li Kui's wife directly to the secluded path deep in the mountains, planning to rush back to Liangshan along the mountain road.

Walking and walking, it was getting late, at this time Li Kui and the three of them walked to the bottom of a mountain ridge, Li Kui's old lady was lying on Li Kui's back, blind and did not know sooner or later, but Li Kui knew that this ridge was called Yiling, as long as it was convenient for someone to have a family in front of this ridge, the three of them took advantage of the stars and the moon to walk up to the ridge.

At this time, Li Kui's mother said on Li Kui's back: "My son, my mother is very thirsty in her mouth, where is she begging for saliva." ”

Li Kui looked around, what kind of water source there was, and said at the moment: "The old lady should bear with it first, and when she crosses the mountain and finds someone to rest, there will be water." ”

Mrs. Li Kui said weakly: "I just ate some dry rice before, and now I'm very thirsty!" ”

Li Kui was helpless, and then said: "Old lady, my throat is also very dry, and you wait for me to carry you to the ridge to find water for your mother." ”

Li Kui and the three of them went to Deling, found a big bluestone by the pine tree, put Li Kui's old lady down, and a few people rested. With that, he left.
