The small trees by the river, which have experienced countless winds and snowfalls, have grown stronger and more beautiful. Jiliu, a seedling born in bitter water, is just like this little tree growing in the wind and waves of life.

Jiliu was thinking about his heart as he walked, his heart was like a loose horse, and he couldn't help but think of the revenge. The idea of "revenge" has been holding back in his heart for more than two years. As soon as he thought of revenge, the fire in his heart rushed outward. Now he thought to himself, so angry that he jumped and stomped his feet, and said as he stomped, "Trample you three bad seeds!" Stomp you to death—"

Following Liu's family history of blood and tears and misfortunes, he told Uncle Tian early. Just now, when he saw Jiliu jumping on the road, he guessed that he remembered the blood feud again, so he slowed down and waited for Jiliu to follow. Jiliu saw that Uncle Tian in front of him was blocking the way, and when he looked sideways, he saw Uncle Tian looking at him with a smile.

At this time, he was embarrassed again, and blushed and smiled stupidly. Uncle Tian put down his burden and asked Jiliu: "Child, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about revenge!"

"Alas! Good boy, let's forget it! ”

"Why?"

"The enemies are all good guys and bosses, and they are rich and powerful, so we can't afford to mess with them!"

"He is the emperor Lao Tzu, and I will fight him to the death!" Ji Liuyan didn't land, and smashed a small green brick on the ground with one foot.

Uncle Tian couldn't suppress the joy from the bottom of his heart anymore, and he put his powerful big hand on Jiliu's small shoulder: "Good boy, you deserve to be the descendant of our heroes!" ”

Uncle Tian was originally a person who was ruined by the landlord's old wealth, but later he used an ancestral sword to kill the enemy and joined the Ganyu Qing Gang. After joining the club, he became a secret little boss under Zhongba because of his good performance, and later saw that Zhongba was recruited by Wang Zuoliang, and he went home to do his "old job" in anger. For fear of revealing his identity, he never told anyone about this history.

At this time, he saw that Jiliu was so determined to take revenge, so he wanted to help him. And decided: when I go home, I will teach him a few times. So, he looked at the sky and said to Jiliu: "It's not early, let's go!" ”

"Okay."

The old man and the young master walked in strides and trotters for a while, and Shahe Town came.

After dinner, Aunt Li was collecting the dishes and chopsticks, and Uncle Tian and Jiliu were chatting.

"Don't you want revenge - I'll teach you a 'second dog scratcher'!" Uncle Tian said earnestly to Jiliu, who was listening attentively.

I saw Uncle Tian stand up abruptly and tighten his belt. I saw his bulging muscle bumps, which shone in the bright moonlight, which showed his indestructible heroic spirit. Then, he tied his trousers with a rope, picked up the shovel by the door, and waved to Jiliuyi: "Let's go outside the gate and play a few times!" ”

The two of them came to the gate. Uncle Tian pulled the shelf, flicked his legs, and practiced martial arts. Song Jiliu was dumbfounded, he thought while watching: Hey! Uncle Tian's martial arts are a hundred times stronger than those who perform on the street! ”

Aunt Li didn't know that her wife had such a couple of moments, so she was taken aback at first, and then laughed and counted: "What are you doing here?" Old and unserious! Uncle Tian didn't hear it, and finished a big trip in one go, then threw the shovel and rested.

Jiliu hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, and he took it up and drank it in one go.

Every time Jiliu watched the artist's martial arts, he would naively think: "If I can do this a few times, I won't have to worry about revenge!" Now that he sees that Uncle Tian's martial arts are so good, he is really happy in his heart!

But Uncle Tian put away his face and said solemnly: "Jiliu, if you want to practice martial arts, you must learn to endure great hardships, and in order to take revenge, you must be prepared to suffer great crimes!" ”

"As long as you can take revenge, no matter how great the suffering and sin are, there is nothing to be afraid of! Uncle, have you ever played and sold art? ”

"Never."

"How did you learn martial arts?"

Uncle Tian took the tea brought by Jiliu, and while sipping the tea, he told Jiliu about his bloody and tearful family history and the revenge of practicing martial arts. After listening to the uncle's story, Song Jiliu secretly said in his heart: "If only there was a sword and a pistol!" This sentence was inadvertently spoken. Even this extremely low voice was heard by Uncle Tian. So he asked Jiliu, "Do you want to have a sword and a gun?" ”

Jiryu touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Uncle Tian stood up lightly and entered the back room.

After a while, he brought a cold and shining sword, came to Jiliu, and said meaningfully: "Jiliu, do you know what skills this sword will have?" ”

"Can kill the bad guys!"

"Not only does it kill bad guys, it can talk!"

"It's, it's, can it still talk?"

"Yes!" Uncle Tian said, "Jiliu, in this world, there is no place for us poor people to speak in the whole world, and there are few people who speak for our poor!" Only it, the sword, can speak for the poor and find the truth! ”

"This ...... That's it! ”

Uncle Tian solemnly handed the sword to Jiliu, and said sincerely, "Jiliu, you are a descendant of a boatman, a descendant of our poor eggs, you must have ambition and backbone, practice hard, and strive to make this sword speak fairly for our toiling people as soon as possible!" ”

"You old man don't worry! Can you tell us about its origins? ”

"Okay, move the little wooden bench over and sit down." Uncle Tian also sat on the big bench in a serious manner, and slowly talked about the origin of this sword-

There is a "Ziyang Bridge" near Ganyu County. One day, near the bridge, a large group of East Twist troops attacked the county seat, led by a good man - Ren Huabang. This person is known as Ren Zhu, a native of Mengcheng County, Anhui Province. The family was poor, young and lonely, raised by his uncle Ren Qian, worked as a hired worker at the age of thirteen, and then joined the Blue Flag Army with his uncle, and was promoted to the head of the Blue Flag Army because of his merits, and led his troops to fight in the north and south with Zhang Luoxing.

Hua Bang is tall and strong, powerful and strong, and has also practiced good martial arts, and the sword is his most handy. In September of the tenth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, the joint army captured Qingkou, Dasha River and other towns in Ganyu County. On the 29th, he fought hard with Qiu Shiguan and Zhou Hanru of the township regiment in Yancang City, and conquered it the next day, killing more than 500 people in the regiment.

In April of the third year of Tongzhi, he joined forces with Lai Wenguang, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and was named the king of Lu. On April 24 of the fourth year, in the high-rise village of Caozhou Mansion, he ambushed and annihilated the headquarters of the Qingzhong king monk Greenqin, killed the monk Greenqin and the cabinet minister Quan Shun, the general soldier He Jianao, and seriously injured the general soldier Chen Guorui.

At that time, the Qing court sent Zeng Guofan as the minister of the Qincha to supervise the encirclement and suppression of the provincial armies of Zhizhi, Shandong, Suzhou, Anhui, and other provinces. In September of the fifth year of Tongzhi, the twisted army was divided into two branches, east and west, and the west twisted to Shaanxi and Gansu; Ren Huabang and Lai Wenguang commanded the eastern twist and moved to Anhui, Suzhou, Shandong, and Zhi provinces.

In the sixth year of Tongzhi, the leader of the White Flag Army, Li Yun, the king of Wei, was the commander of Pan Guisheng (Pan San), who robbed a poor school teacher of 30 taels of silver, and was captured by Huabang on the spot, and suggested that the king of Wei behead the public to enforce military discipline.

Soon, Dong Twist lost in Wei County, Pan San took the opportunity to ask the Qing army to surrender through Qiu Zunqian, and Admiral Liu Ming ordered him to continue to serve as a pillar with the Twist Army and be an undercover agent. Five days later, Ren Huabang commanded the army to attack Ganyu County, Pan San took advantage of the battle, sent a small musket from behind to sneak attack, hit Huabang in the waist, and then shouted with the six cavalry of the department: "King Lu Ren Huabang was shot and fell off the horse......

After the chaos of the Twist Army, Huabang was very angry, turned around and swung his sword to slash the four cavalry of Pan's three divisions, and then fell off the horse at the Ziyang Bridge due to excessive bleeding. The Twist Army rescued him and left in a hurry, died that night due to his injuries, and was buried in the Dasha Riverbed, and all the soldiers cried loudly, and the sound spread for dozens of miles......

"After Ren Huabang's death, this sword fell into the hands of my grandfather. Later, my grandfather passed it on to my father, and my father passed it on to me, and I passed it on to you, the fisherman's son. Tian Dali wiped a tear from his eyes and said.

After listening to this legendary tragic and moving story, Jiliu secretly said in his heart: "I must be right about this sword, I must have the backbone of the original sword owner!" Then he asked the uncle, "Uncle, you have taken revenge with this sword, right?" ”

"Yes, it's the sword left by this hero!" Uncle Tian stood up and said, "Jiliu, come, I'll teach you a few times first!" Tian Dali lifted the sword handed down by his master and practiced against Jiliu......

Under the moonlight, the two men with different surnames, one taught sincerely, the other learned wholeheartedly, one old and one young, one teacher and one apprentice, and practiced martial arts.

The sound of the waves of the big sand river, which was inaudible during the day, seems to be ringing non-stop now. The night is already very deep. However, neither Uncle Tian nor Song Jiliu felt tired or sleepy, and they were still practicing with great interest. In the end, it was Aunt Li who forced her to sleep.

Before going to bed, Song Jiliu looked at the sword again and again, for fear that it would be lost like the pistol given by his father. In the end, I had to carefully put it under the pillow. As soon as I lay down, I fell asleep -
