Chapter 20: Hate and Parting
Song Jiangren has short legs, and when he arrived, Ximen Qing had already knelt down in front of Mrs. Li.
Song Jiang said in his heart: "Shameless! Ximenqing, if you want to buy people's hearts, you have to ask me if I agree! ”
So, Song Jiang took three steps and made two steps, and also rushed up and knelt down in front of Mrs. Li, before he could speak, his nose was sore, and the real tears had rolled down, and he said sadly: "Mother! Although Brother Tie Niu and I have different surnames, we are friends of life and death, and you are my mother! Brother Tie Niu is not in a thousand ways, but I, the elder brother, did not discipline him well, mother, your old man wants to be angry, you can beat and scold your son, just ask for forgiveness Brother Tie Niu! ”
Speaking of the sound and affection, Song Jiang kowtowed again and again, and there was a sound. No matter how many tears she sheds, Mrs. Li's eyes are inconvenient, and it is useless to see it, so she has to find another way to start from the sound effect to reap the heart-wrenching effect.
When the onlookers saw that Song Jiang was so brotherly, they all sighed - what a timely rain Song Jiang, he was really righteous, and he could be the deputy of Ximen Qing! Li Kui's heart was even hotter, his eyes were damp, and his teardrops couldn't be contained, accompanied by the words "Mother!" Brother", those who know will say that Li Kui is moved after being wronged, and those who don't know must think that Black Whirlwind is singing, and it is still a "Double Coffin".
It's strange to say, Ximen Qing knelt down and begged each other, Li Lao Niang was sad, but as soon as Song Jiang came, Li Lao Niang not only accepted the sorrow, but also said to Li Kui: "Tie Niu'er, you evil obstacle, why don't you get up and help the leader of Siquan and your Song Jiang brother up?" ”
As soon as Li Kui heard this, as if he had been amnestied, he jumped up with a "Teng", rushed over like an eagle catching a chicken, lifted Song Jiang from the ground, and choked up in his mouth: "Brother, you treat your brother too well!" ”
When he was talking about going to Ximenqing again, Ximenqing couldn't enjoy his Songjiang-level treatment, so he opened Li Kui's grappling hand and stood up gently.
Although Song Jiang was lifted in his hand like an egg, he was a little disrespectful, but he was overjoyed, and said secretly: "This Mrs. Li is really a person who knows things, and has a giant eye that knows people!" Ximen Qing came to intercede, but the old lady didn't give him face; As soon as I got out of the horse, I was immediately successful! It can be seen that in the heart of the old lady, I still beat that Ximen Qing - alas! It's just that there are blind people with open eyes on Liangshan, and there are too few people with vision like Lao Niang! ”
After Li Kui helped Song Jiang and Ximen Qing, he obediently retreated to the old lady and stood with his hands down, and he didn't dare to take a breath. He knew that he could stand up, but it was just because of the face of Brother Song Jiang and Brother Siquan, but the old lady would not give up with him, that was a certainty.
It's strange to say, but Mrs. Li didn't pursue her son's fault, but said to Song Jiang with a pleasant face: "Is Leader Song here?" Please take the lead and sit down, the old woman is easy to talk to. ”
When Song Jiang heard this, he hurriedly said, "Mother! Do you have a son's seat here? If the mother has something to do, even if she is told, her son has to do it if he can do it, and if he can't do it, he has to do it desperately! ”
Li Lao Niang was stubborn: "Leader Song, if you don't sit, the old woman won't say it!" ”
Song Jiang is still in a hurry to walk to Qingfeng Mountain! Although Mrs. Li is his rare bosom friend, he can't delay too much time here, so he still hurry up and get Mrs. Li and take Li Kui on the road as the first priority. So Song Jiang confessed, moved the chair from the top and put it on the side, sat diagonally by himself, and waited for Mrs. Li to speak.
Who knew that after Mrs. Li heard Song Jiang sit down, she actually knelt down towards him with a "poof". This time, Song Jiang Monkey was so frightened that he ate chili peppers and numb his claws, jumped up from the chair, and hurriedly threw himself to the ground at Li Lao Niang's five bodies, and his mouth was crying bitterly: "Mother! Aren't you breaking your son's longevity? Tractor! What are you still doing? Why don't you pick up the old man soon?! ”
At this time, the onlookers woke up like a dream, Ximenqing and Li Kui both grabbed and helped Mrs. Li up. Mrs. Li didn't give up, and still wanted to kowtow to Song Jiang. Song Jiang was embarrassed at this time, and he couldn't stop panicking for a moment, so he had to take two steps on his knees and mourn to Li Lao Niang: "Mother! What do you have to tell your son, why bother? Isn't it okay for the son to listen to whatever the mother says? ”
Li Lao Niang stopped for a moment and asked Song Jiangdao: "Is what Leader Song said seriously?" ”
Song Jiang wept and kowtowed: "My son is sincere, there is no falsehood!" ”
Only then did Mrs. Li pull up her loose hair and instructed Li Kui: "Go and pick up Leader Song!" ”
After Song Jiang got up, Mrs. Li said in a dignified manner: "Leader Song, you are a person who has a great fortune and a great life, you call me 'Mother', the old woman is from a hard background, her life is small, and she can't afford it!" In my life, I was raised in bitter water! I have two sons, the eldest son Li Da is honest, although he only helps the wealthy owner as a servant, but he is hardworking and willing to work, often has nobles look at him differently, and his life is quite passable, but I don't have to worry about him - only my youngest son Li Kui ......"
When she said this, Mrs. Li sank her face and shouted, "Evil obstacles! You still don't come to kneel? ”
Li Kui was helpless, and bowed his head and knelt in front of the old lady, ready to eat.
Sighing, Mrs. Li said, "This evil obstacle! I wasn't born to be a peacemaker, and I'm destined to worry about it for the rest of my life! Leader Song, I heard today that you are going to Qingfeng Mountain? You go and go, my little son, but I must stay with my wife!" I'm already seventy or eighty years old, the king of Hades doesn't tell me to go, I took off my shoes tonight, and I don't know if I can kick on it again tomorrow morning-Leader Song, you are a timely rain of benevolence and righteousness, and you have done good things all your life, and weishenme is going to kidnap my wife's only old-age son? ”
As soon as Song Jiang heard this, he hurriedly argued: "Mother, ......" but saw that Mrs. Li's face changed, and she hurriedly changed her words: "Old aunt, ......" Mrs. Li's face slowly calmed down.
At this time, Song Jiang wanted to cry without tears, he finally knew that this Mrs. Li was not his bosom friend, but a dead old woman who was blind and an arm's length deep. But he still had to be respectful on his face, and defended himself: "Old aunt, although I, Song Jiang, am not successful, but I still know some etiquette, righteousness and shame, over the years, I have been doing right, walking well, walking in the middle of the three avenues, and I have never done anything to bully men and harm women!" O old aunt! If you think that I will tie up the Iron Bull Brother with a rope, you have wronged me! ”
Mrs. Li muttered, "Yes! Oh, yes! You are timely rain Song Jiang Song Gongming, you are doing the right thing, and you have never done anything to bully men and harm women-in this case, today I want to leave my son by my side to retire and send him to the end, Song Chief, you will not stop you? ”
Song Jiang said with a smile: "It turns out that the old aunt is worried about this-so that the old aunt will know that this time I will go to Qingfeng Mountain, and the Tie Niu brothers will accompany me, and I will take you to the old aunt, so that our brothers will finish together, and your mother and son will be reunited, but it is not the best of both worlds?" ”
Mrs. Li said sharply: "No need! I live very well in this Liangshan, this neighbor, are some people who miss the old and cherish the poor, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, living here, my wife is also content. If I go to Qingfeng Mountain with you, who will accompany my wife to relieve her boredom? You're just getting me a pearl man, and it's useless if you can't speak! It's better to be still than to be still, my son and I stay in this Liangshan, how much is good! ”
Although he is reckless, Li Kui is the most useful thug under Song Jiang, let go of it, where is Song Jiang willing? So he continued to persuade bitterly: "Old aunt! Your old man is negligent - the family members of the Qin Ming brothers and the Hua Rong brothers will also go to Qingfeng Mountain with me, when you are on Liang Mountain, you relatives will get along well, and when you arrive at Qingfeng Mountain, are the old aunts still afraid of being left out in the cold? ”
Song Jiang chattered, and Mrs. Li became irritable when she heard it, and said in her heart: "Song Jiang doesn't know the situation, so he is shameless!" He shouted at the moment: "Song Gongming! Let's make it clear! I don't want my son to be with you! I only hope that my son will stay in Liangshan, follow Ximen Gongzi, and learn some principles of life after a long time; If I go with you, I will not grow up in my life! The old woman has made up her mind, and she will never allow you to occupy my son! ”
Listening to Mrs. Li's words about this, what else can Song Jiang do? He was stunned for a long time, glanced at Ximen Qing, shook his head and sighed, and said to Li Kui: "Brother Tieniu, what do you think?" ”
Mrs. Li shouted: "You evil obstacle! If thou wilt step out of this courtyard today, I will not recognize thy son. ”
Li Kui, who was in a dilemma, knelt there in a daze, panting and hanging his head silently. When he finally raised his head to face Song Jiang and looked at each other, everyone saw two huge tears rolling straight down the face of this reckless man, smashing on the ground, splashing two small wisps of smoke.
Song Jiang was also teary-eyed, raised his sleeves and wiped them at the corners of his eyes, then stepped forward and picked Li Kui up from the ground, carefully patted the floating soil on his body for him, and then said: "Good brother, there is no need to say anything, my brother's life of timely rain, only by matching other mothers and sons, where can we break up other people's mothers and sons?" Brother, you will stay in Liangshan, take care of your mother, do your filial piety, learn more from the Siquan brothers, if you achieve a career in the future, my brother will listen to it from afar in Qingfeng Mountain, and you like it for your brother! ”
At this time, Li Kui listened closely, but he didn't like it, but he said "wow", crying happily like a wronged child.
Song Jiang reluctantly smiled: "This is not a parting of life and death, why should my brother be so sad?" Before my brother left, there was one more thing to ask for. ”
Li Kui cried so much that he couldn't speak, but Mrs. Li intercepted beside her: "Leader Song, what do you want?" ”
Song Jiang sighed and said, "Don't worry, the old aunt has no other intentions." It's just that I don't want to get together with Brother Tie Niu, so before leaving, I want to ask my brother to take off his shirt and give it to me. ”
This was said bleakly, Li Lao Niang listened to it, just "hummed", and then said no more, but Ximen Qing said secretly next to him: "It's amazing!" ”
With acquiescence, Song Jiang said to Li Kui: "Can you give up your brother?" ”
Li Kui was dumb, and there was a whining sound in his throat, but he was choked and couldn't speak. After shaking Song Jiang's hands for a long time, he wiped his tears with one hand and undressed with the other. It's just that he is not a skillful person, he can't untie one, he can't untie the two, and under the fire of his heart, he tore it hard and tore the robe into two pieces.
For a moment, Li Kui was dumbfounded. Song Jiang's face remained unchanged, he calmly took the rag from Li Kui's hand, and sighed with a forced smile: "A brother is like a hand, and a wife is like a dress." Clothes are torn, but they can be mended; Broken hands and feet, Encore? - Brother Tie Niu, my brother is gone! ”
Carrying the rag in his arms, Song Jiang held his head high, turned around and left, without looking back. Li Kui looked at Song Jiang's back, I don't know why his brother didn't look back, but Huarong Li Jun and others could see clearly, Song Jiang at this time was already in tears.
Everyone watched with bated breath, and Song Jiang stepped out of the door of the Li family's courtyard proudly. Li Kui was reluctant and rushed to the gate of the hospital, but remembered his mother's cruel words that he would not recognize his son when he stepped out of the hospital, and he could not take a step beyond Lei Chi, so he could only shout like a heartbreak: "Brother! Then he threw himself on the ground, kowtowed his head heavily, and after three heads, the ground was stained with blood.
Song Jiang finally lost his voice, covered his face with his sleeves, and said in a low voice: "Brother! Brothers! He threw away his hat, fell to the ground, and bowed to Li Kui.
Hua Rong, Li Jun, Qin Ming and others were all moved by Li Kui's feelings, and they all fell to the ground behind Song Jiang. When Ximen Qing and all the heroes saw it, they were also saddened, and they all bowed down.
After a few bows, Song Jiang jumped up and shouted: "Brothers, let's go!" As he spoke, he hid his face and walked. Li Kui knelt in the courtyard gate, looking at Song Jiang's lonely back stupidly, his heart was like a knife.
Seeing that Song Jiang was about to walk out of Li Kui's sight, he didn't want anyone to turn around, leaving behind Huarong, Li Jun and others, but ran back alone. When Song Jiang returned to the front of the courtyard, Li Kui was sad and happy, and asked in a hoarse and nasal voice, "What else does my brother command?" ”
Song Jiang held Li Kui's hand across the courtyard gate and said, "I was going to go, but I remembered that there were some important things that I hadn't told you yet, so I came back-brother!" When our brothers first met in Jiangzhou, brother, you ate fish with your left hand and meat with your right hand, and you didn't look for a place to stay, you always rested in the east for a few days, and the west was crooked for a few hours. From now on, you must not eat without being hungry or sleeping with hunger or sleep upside down, but you must do your job and rest - alas! The old aunt's eyes are inconvenient, but she can't take care of you a lot, if I don't say anything, who else will persuade you to cherish yourself? ”
Li Kui listened, his heart was like a cut, the blood was boiling, he couldn't let go of Song Jiang's hand anymore, tears were pouring down, and the blood on his forehead was dripping on Song Jiang's sleeve robe, like a colorful embellishment of Taoyuan Luoying.
Song Jiang pulled his hand back and said in a dumb voice: "Brother! …… Don't! As he spoke, he slowly turned around and staggered.
After walking a few steps, he turned back and waved his hand to Li Kui: "Brother! …… Treasured! ”
Li Kui looked at Song Jiang, who was standing alone, walking lonely towards the road, and his heart was really like turning over the river and boiling the sea, and he roared loudly: "Brother Gongming, stay behind!" "The sound shook the trees, and the birds flew in shock.
This roar is really a hundred steps mighty, shocking the bear and tiger, and many people are all shocked. After Li Kui yelled, he had already rushed to the front of the house like a whirlwind, pouted and fell to his knees, crying loudly.
Mrs. Li was first stunned by her son's roar, and then saw her son crying into tears, sighed leisurely, and asked, "Tie Niu'er, what are you doing?" ”
Wiping away his tears, Li Kui said, "Mother! Mother! When I was a child in Jiangzhou, everyone was afraid of me and hated me, but only Brother Gongming didn't think I was rude, and he treated me sincerely. Mother, you said, people respect us a foot, we must respect people, at that time I swore in my heart that in this life, Tie Niu is my brother's person! Today he left Liangshan, and went alone, and his son could not accompany him to protect him, that is, he violated his previous oath, and even if he lived again, he would have no taste - so he only asked the old lady to be merciful, and let the child go with his brother! He kowtowed again and again.
Listening to Li Kui's "knock" sound of kowtowing hard, Mrs. Li was distressed and sad again, and couldn't help but cry again, crying and saying: "You unfilial obstacle!" If you go to follow the hypocritical Song Jiang and all your brothers are righteous, but you leave your mother helpless here, can you bear it? ”
Li Kui cried: "Mother! Is a child such a cruel man? It's just that my brother is outside, in the wind and rain, and he eats hard; The mother is on Liangshan, she wants to be clothed and fed, she has Siquan brothers to take care of her, and the child has 10,000 hearts! Mother! You don't want to go to Qingfeng Mountain, and the child doesn't dare to be strong; I just ask the old lady to be gracious, and allow the child to protect Brother Gongming and settle Qingfeng Mountain, and then the child will definitely return to Liangshan to honor the old lady! ”
Hearing Li Kui say this, Mrs. Li was angry and angry, crying: "You evil obstacle! A minion who doesn't give birth to eyes! You are blinded by lard, phlegm is confused, and you don't want to protect the reincarnated celestial star with an upright and upright celestial star, but you have to hold on to the thighs of Song Jiang, who is benevolent and moral on the surface, and who is a male thief and a prostitute behind his back! You keep saying that you want to repay his kindness, but why don't you remember which person gave his life to save your old lady from the tiger's mouth? ”
If others dare to say this about Song Jiang, how can Li Kui tolerate it? But now that the person who scolded Song Jiang was his own mother, Li Kui had no choice but to distinguish one point for his brother: "Mother! Brother Gongming is a big hero, although he is a thief, where is he a prostitute? Speaking of the Siquan brothers who saved the life of the old lady, the child has no day or forget, one day the Siquan brothers have something, I am willing to die for him! But compared with Brother Gongming, he is a good talent, a good martial artist, and a good strategy, even if he is the emperor of the Song family, he is not so beautiful, and Brother Gongming is not as good as him, isn't it too pitiful? If I abandon Brother Gongming and follow Brother Siquan, I will become a villain who is becoming a powerful person in the world, and I will look down on myself! ”
Mrs. Li listened to her son's words to protect Song Jiang, and laughed angrily, so she said something. That's what we have to teach:
The hearts of 100,000 people are subverted, and 800 waters are churning. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
