When I was seven years old, my parents died one after the other. A lonely old lady named Huang Qigu in the village took me in and let me live in her house and live with her, but despite this, I still ran around the mountain village like a wild dog. I don't know what I'm going to do, I just feel like there's a huge rock stuck in my heart. Every day at dusk, I would drag my tired footsteps towards the small mud house next to the old camphor tree in the west of the town, which was Huang Qigu's home and my home. At that time, the miserable Huang Qigu stood at the door, waiting for my return, and when I appeared in her eyes, she would stretch out her dry hand, wave it at me constantly, and say loudly: "Earth dog, come back and eat—"

Those nights are very cold in my memory. Huang Qigu would hold me in her arms in the dark, cold tears dripped on my face, and her voice in the dark night was full of pity and love: "Child, your life is miserable! What will you do if I die? "I opened my eyes wide in the darkness, and I couldn't see anything, including Huang Qigu's tearful eyes, and her old face like pine bark, no matter how close she was to me, what tomorrow would bring, I didn't know anything. My fate is dark.

The people of the town avoided me like a plague god, as if they were afraid that I would bring disaster to them.

Especially those from large families, even when I passed by their door, they would shout at me viciously and disdainfully: "Mourning star, go away!" "Why did they treat me like that? When I heard this, I stood there and glared at them. They would get very angry, as if I had dug up their ancestral graves and yelled at me, "Get out! Get out of here! Dead Star! If you don't get out, I'll let the dog go! "Why should I roll? At that time, my body was full of strength, and I tried to fight them. But I was wrong, I was not as strong as a dog, and after they released the watchdog, of course I was the one who suffered.

I have several scars on my body, which I was bitten by the housekeeper dog of a large family when I was a child. After being bitten by a dog, I didn't cry, I learned how to endure pain when I was very young, I dragged my bloody leg back home, Huang Qigu was so distressed that she burst into tears, scolding those ruthless rich people while treating my wounds. Since then, I have known that the rich and the poor are incompatible.

Like a wild dog, I also have friends.

It was Shangguan Xiong, the son of the hunter Shangguan Ming, who was the same age as me.

Shangguan Ming was my childhood idol. He often passed by my door with ** on his shoulder, and walked alone into the deep mountains and old forests. I would also see him often come back with his prey, and sometimes, he would smile at me, throw a pheasant in front of me, and say to me in a rough voice, "Take it back and let the seventh aunt stew it for you to eat!" "I'm not obsessed with those prey, but the savage aura of him and the rod.

I think I'm going to be as thick as him, and if I have a pole, those big dogs won't dare to bully me.

Shangguan Ming is not such an approachable person, I will often follow him when he is going up the mountain, and he will turn around and drive me away. I had to watch his back disappear, and my heart was full of melancholy, if he were my father, would my fate change?

Shangguan Ming also did not allow his son Shangguan Xiong to go hunting with him. We would sit on the beach by the Tingjiang River and discuss Shangguan Ming's problems. Shangguanxiong said that his father never let him touch the pole. We were fascinated by it. I said to Shangguan Xiong, when will you steal the gun out and play? A look of fear appeared on Shangguanxiong's face, and he said that if that happened, his father would have beaten him to death.

One afternoon, Shangguan Xiong stole the ** out. I think it's strange that Shangguan Xiong ate leopard gall today! Shangguan Xiong said that his father was drunk at noon, and now he is lying in bed and sleeping, what a good opportunity this is, so he stole the ** out. We came to the river beach, pondered the structure of the **, and lifted the ** up and aimed at the birds in the trees by the river. It's a pity that we don't know how to fill the iron sand and **, and Shangguan Xiong didn't steal the iron sand**, otherwise we would have to put a hammer to have a good time. Still, in our hands, we have added a lot of courage. After playing on the river beach for a while, I proposed to go to the town street for a walk, and Shangguan Xiong agreed.

We came to the streets of the town, and people didn't look at me because I was carrying ** on my shoulders. When I arrived at the door of the mansion of the local tyrant Liu Shiqing, I slowed down. In fact, I was nervous, afraid that the Liu family would release a dog to bite me, and the scars on my legs seemed to itch. The ** on my shoulder still gave me courage, and Shangguan Xiong also gave me courage, because of his father, no one in Changling Town dared to bully him. The door of the Liu family's mansion opened, and the fierce black dog sat in the courtyard, staring at us. I said in my heart, "Evil dog, sooner or later I will kill you!" At this moment, a slender figure dangled out of the gate, and he shouted at me, "You mourning star, why are you here again?" Don't get out of here! ”

This person is Liu Shiqing's butler Liu Monkey, and when I saw his anger, I rushed to the top of my head. I took the ** off my shoulder, put it in my hand, and said loudly to Liu Monkey: "Why should I get out, is this street also your home?" If you dare to let the dog go today, I will bang your head with a bang! ”

Shangguan Xiong also said: "Liu Monkey, why do you let the earth dog go!" ”

Liu Monkey sneered and said, "Little rabbit cub, I see that you want to find death today!" You're kind of slamming me in the head! ”

He said as he pressed towards me.

At this point, I couldn't do anything about it. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "You...... Don't come here, I'm really going to shoot—"

Shangguan Xiong knew that ** was not filled with iron sand and **, and he couldn't deter Liu Monkey at all, and he was also very anxious and didn't know what to do.

Liu Monkey continued to sneer: "You shoot, shoot!" Open it to my head! ”

Step by step, he approached me, and I stepped back step by step.

Many people gathered around the side street to watch the excitement and whisper, and the expressions on their faces were very strange. At this moment, two strong men walked out of the Liu family's mansion, which were the Liu family's family members. When Liu Monkey saw them come out, he instructed them: "Go and get the ** in the hands of this little rabbit!" "The two strong men rushed at me like tigers, and I screamed, and it was too late to run.

They took the ** from my hand, and I was kicked to the ground by one of the strong men. This time, Liu Monkey didn't let the dog out to bite me, and after they took away the **, they entered the mansion and closed the gate. Shangguan Xiong pulled me up from the ground and cried and said to me, "Tugou, they have confiscated the gun, how can I go back and explain to my father?" ”

I'm helpless.

We returned to the beach, silent in the face of the gently flowing water. Shangguan Xiong was crying and sobbing all the time, and I thought a lot of things I wanted to say to him, but I couldn't say anything. It was I who caused him to have a home, and his father knew about it when he woke up, so it was strange that he didn't skin him. It's my fault, and I can't run away from it, so I have to accompany him, and if he dies, I'll die with him.

At night, we still didn't dare to go home, sitting by the Tingjiang River, at a loss.

The sound of running water is getting louder and louder, and it seems to engulf us.

We didn't know that something had happened in the town, and it started because of me, and it also sowed the trouble.

Someone told Shangguan Ming what happened in front of the Liu family's mansion. Shangguan Ming didn't get up from the bed until it was night. Without saying a word, he took a woodcutter, sharpened it on a whetstone, and then went out of the house with a torch in one hand and a sharp woodcutter in the other. His wife was holding her three-year-old son, and she couldn't say a word as she watched him go out, and she knew very well in her heart that ten cows couldn't pull back what a man had to do.

Shangguan Ming came to the door of the Liu family's mansion.

Before he arrived, the gate of the Liu family's mansion was full of people, and people's expressions were different. At first, they were still talking about something, but after Shangguan Ming's tall and sturdy body appeared at the door of the Liu family's mansion, people fell silent. Shangguan Ming's expression was grim, his eyes exuded a murderous aura, and the side streets were also filled with a murderous aura.

The closed door of the Liu family's mansion in the Shangguan Ming Dynasty roared: "Liu Monkey, you get out of here!" ”

There was a dog barking from the gate.

The hearts of the people watching the excitement were lifted and they consciously retreated.

The torch in Shangguan Ming's hand crackled and splashed sparks. The light of the torch illuminated the woodcutter he held in his right hand. Shangguan Ming obviously put on a desperate posture.

The barking of the dog in the gate stopped.

There was no movement in the room.

Shangguan Ming yelled again: "Liu Monkey, you get out of Laozi!" ”

There was another dog barking from inside. Then came the sound of scrambled footsteps. After a while, the door of the Liu family's mansion squeaked open. An old man in a robe and a horse coat was seen walking out, followed by several men dressed in black, as well as Liu Monkey.

This old man is Liu Shiqing, a well-known local tyrant in Changling Town, and his two sons are both officials outside. Liu Shiqing smiled all over his face, and said to Shangguan Ming slowly: "Brother Shangguan, why are you so angry and shouting in front of my house? ”

Shangguan Ming said coldly: "You ask Liu Monkey, he deceives people too much!" Don't even let go of a lonely child, what a thing! ”

Liu Shiqing turned his head and whispered to Liu Monkey, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Monkey whispered something in Liu Shiqing's ear.

After listening to Liu Monkey's words, Liu Shiqing turned around, raised his hand, and slapped Liu Monkey fiercely: "Bastard, you do your best!" The old man's reputation has been ruined by you! Why don't you go and take out the ** and return it to Brother Shangguan! Folks, what knot can't be untied! ”

Liu Monkey ran in quickly.

Liu Shiqing Shangguan Ming made a gesture: "I'm really sorry, you see that I am not strict with my subordinates, which makes Shangguan brother angry, and also makes the child wronged, the old man is here to apologize to you, you must not go to your heart!" ”

Shangguan Ming didn't expect Liu Shiqing to come to this set, and he didn't say anything, and after Liu Monkey came out to return the ** to him, he walked away.

That night, Shangguan Ming and Huang Qigu held torches and found us in panic on the river beach. I originally thought that Shangguan Ming would clean us up, but I didn't expect that he would kindly say to us: "Child, go home, it's cold by the river at night, and it's not good to be windy!" "It's as if nothing had happened.

The next morning, while I was still asleep, Shangguan Xiong came into the house and woke me up. I opened my loose eyes and asked him, "What are you going to do?" Shangguan Xiong smiled with a smile on his face: "Hurry up, hurry up, there is something good!" I sat up: "What's the good thing?" By the way, your dad didn't beat you last night? Shangguan Xiong shook his head and said, "I didn't fight, I didn't scold, get dressed quickly, and you'll know what's good when you go out." "Shangguan Xiong and I went out and saw Shangguan Ming smiling and talking to Huang Qigu, Shangguan Ming was carrying a cowhide bag and carrying the pole on his shoulder, I knew that the cowhide bag contained ** and iron sand.

Shangguan Ming saw me come out and waved his hand at me: "Come on!" Aren't you thinking about fighting, I'll take you to fight today! ”

I couldn't believe my ears and stood there dumbfounded.

Shangguan Xiong pushed me from behind: "Didn't you hear what my father said?" Let's go! ”

It was a dewy morning, and Shangguan Ming took us to a hillside. It was a sunny hillside, and when the sun poured in, it illuminated Shangguan Ming's swarthy face full of stubble. On that sunny morning, Shangguan Ming taught us how to fill the iron sand and the iron sand machine, so that the iron sand burst out of the chamber after the explosion of the iron sand.

Shangguan Xiong and I could not have predicted that a man-made disaster would befall Shangguan Ming's head. In fact, Shangguan Ming knew very well in his heart that Liu Shiqing would not let him go, even if Liu Shiqing let him go, Liu Monkey would not let him go. The Liu family has lost face in Changling Town, who dares to show off his might at the gate of the Liu family's mansion like him?

In the mountains of western Fujian in autumn, you can smell the sweetness of ripe wild fruits on the mountain. It's the best season of the year, with no floods, no hunger, no storms, and the dull thunder fades away...... That autumn dusk, Shangguan Ming carried ** up the mountain with the hound, he hoped to have a fat harvest in the autumn night. Ever since the incident with the Liu family, he has been careful to prevent them from retaliating. If Liu Jiaming attacked him, he would not be afraid at all, but what about them coming to Yin? That's something you can't prevent.

In those days, as long as Shangguan Ming went up to the mountain to hunt during the day, he would take us up the mountain with him, but at night he refused to take us there. I asked him why, and he only said two words to me: Danger! That autumn evening, after Shangguan Ming went up the mountain, Shangguan Xiong and I were at my house waiting for his return. We don't know when he'll be back, sometimes late at night, sometimes early in the morning...... All we know is that when he comes back and passes by my house, he will slap my window door like a fan, and ask Shangguan Xiong, who slept with me, to go home with him.

That night, we couldn't sleep. Shangguan Xiong said that his heart was always aching, as if someone had pricked him with a needle. I asked him in the dark if he was sick. He said he wasn't sick. I felt him tossing and turning next to me, fidgety. Gradually, I also became irritable, as if infected by his inexplicable anxiety...... I don't know how long it took, but it was still dark outside the window, and we heard a voice.

It was a dog's whimper.

Shangguan Xiong and I heard the dog's whimper at the same time, and his reaction was very strong, and he suddenly rolled out of bed and rushed out of the small mud house. The noise he made woke Huang Qigu up. Huang Qigu asked in surprise: "Child, what happened?" I said, "Grandma, I don't know—"

Huang Qigu and I also walked out of the small mud house.

The moonlight outside the mud hut was very bright, and it had never been so bright in my memory, but there was a strong smell of blood flowing in the moonlight. We saw Shangguan Ming's hound. Shangguan Xiong kicked on the ground, hugged it, and said tremblingly: "Old Hei, what's wrong?" What's going on? Old Black whimpered, tears streaming from his eyes. Huang Qigu said: "It's not good! Shangguan Ming must have something wrong! ”

Huang Qigu hurriedly went to find some people, they held torches, and under the leadership of Lao Hei, they ran towards the mountain. Shangguan Xiong and I followed them. The old black led us to a dense forest. In the distance, night birds made their calls, and the woods were eerie and full of death. We saw a deep trap, and Shangguan Ming was inside the trap, his body was covered with sharp bamboo sticks, and his body was drenched in blood...... It seems that it was a trap dug by mountain people hunting wild boars, but the dead Shangguan Ming would not tell us that it was a conspiracy. It was a forest that Shangguan Ming often went to, but he didn't expect it to become his burial place, he didn't die under the claws of tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts, but he died in a trap set by man, which was his sorrow and his fate as a hunter.

That night, tears drowned me and Shangguan Xiong, we didn't believe that Shangguan Ming would leave like this, he was the original hero in my heart.

How infuriating and desperate the town of Changling was back then, and we couldn't control our own destiny, like weeds that faded and yellowed in the autumn wind. After Shangguan Ming's death, Shangguan Xiong and I were no longer happy. We didn't dare to go to the streets of the town, and the people in the Liu family's mansion bullied us in every way when they saw us, and they even made us drill dog holes, trample us under our feet, and sprinkle urine on our heads. We endure humiliation, hoping for revenge one day. We often sat in front of Shangguan Ming's grave, looking at the vast mountains, silent.

Shangguan Xiong suddenly said to me one day: "Earth dog, I know who killed my father!" ”

I opened my eyes wide and said, "Who is it?" ”

Shangguan Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "It's from the Liu family!" ”

I saw the fire burning in his eyes, and the fire burned inside me.

Avenge!

We thought about this question almost at the same time. But we didn't have the power to take revenge at that time. We could only sneak to the side of the Liu family's mansion in the middle of the night and smash the roof of the Liu family with stones. The sound of the stone hitting the tiles was hoarse and weak, as if it had been smashed into water, and it quickly regained its calm. Our actions seemed so insignificant, but we were worried that the vicious dogs and vicious dog-like people in the Liu family's mansion would chase us out and catch us. It was a long time of powerlessness, and all our hatred grew stronger and stronger in the bottom of our hearts.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight.

Shangguanxiong returned home one night to find his mother and younger brother missing. Some say they ran away with the guy who played cotton. Shangguan Xiong found me and told me about this cruel thing. We ran down the road to a foreign land, hoping to get his mother and brother back. Our efforts were in vain. After we dragged our heavy steps back to my house, Huang Qigu put her arms around us one by one, and tears flowed down her face. We didn't shed tears, and since Shangguan Ming was buried, we didn't shed tears anymore. What is the use of tears, what is the use of sorrow, we have nothing but hatred in our hearts.

After Shangguan Xiong's mother eloped with someone, Huang Qigu also took him in, and we really became a family, and the ** left by Shangguan Ming and the hound Lao Hei were also brought into Huang Qigu's house together. One early winter morning, we found that the old black was gone. We searched everywhere and found it in front of Shangguan Ming's grave, Lao Hei was dead, his body was stiff, and there was a thick layer of frost on it. Its eyes didn't close, and the tears in the corners of its eyes turned to ice. Shangguan Xiong hugged Lao Hei in an attempt to soften his stiff body with his own body heat, and I told him that Lao Hei was dead, and like Shangguan Ming, he would never wake up. We buried Lao Hei next to Shangguan Ming's grave, when the cold wind blew through the desolate mountains, as if it were the angry cry of many lonely souls and wild ghosts.

Huang Qigu is the closest person to us in this world.

That ** explosion made her gray hair overnight.

The ** left by Shangguan Ming has become our spiritual pillar, and it is the first weapon in our hands. We thought that one day, we would use it to blast the heads of our enemies. We often use it to practice aiming, and when we have the strength to use it, we can use it better. When I was ten years old, I thought I had the strength to use it, so we followed the method taught by Shangguan Ming on the river beach, and let ** shoot the first iron sand in our hands.

We load the iron sand and **, and use the game with the palm of the hand to decide who will open the first gun. It turned out that I won. Before the firecracker, I asked Shangguan Xiong to walk away from the distance. He ducked behind a willow tree and looked at me with a probing look. The index finger of my right hand slashed the machine, and a loud bang exploded in front of my eyes, and suddenly, there was a bloody light in front of my eyes, and I heard Shangguan Xiong's terrible scream......

**Blown up!

My face was blown to shreds, embedded in a lot of shattered iron sand, and the pain tore through my boy's heart. In a few moments, I passed out. When I woke up, I was already lying on my bed at home, I couldn't see anything, my eyes were pitch black, and my face was burning with pain. My head and face were wrapped in strips of rags, and I couldn't imagine what I would become. I heard Huang Qigu sobbing, Shangguan Xiong sitting next to me, his right hand and mine tightly clasped together.

Huang Qigu choked up and said, "Child, I asked you not to touch that **, you are still young, how can you touch it?" ”

I gritted my teeth and said to her, "Grandma, I'll be fine!" When I'm healed, I'm going to have to fight! ”

Huang Qigu didn't expect me to say such a thing, she said angrily and distressedly: "You don't want to die, you still want to fight, it's uncertain whether your little life can be saved!" Lao Langzhong has treated your wounds, don't think about anything now, take care of your wounds, child! ”

It's impossible for me not to touch **, I have inherited Shangguan Ming's blood, even though he is not my father. However, I feel guilty again, I have added a lot of trouble to Huang Qigu, she is an old lady, how difficult it is to pull us two wolf-like children. During the days when I was injured, Huang Qigu knelt under the shrine every day, prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless me safely, and then borrowed money from everywhere to get medicine for me. After I recovered from my injuries, I saw that Huang Qigu's hair on her head had turned snow-white, and my heart was stabbed. Shangguanxiong said that the morning after my injury, her hair turned all white. That night, she didn't close her eyes and sat next to me crying. Shangguanxiong also said that everyone thought that I would become blind, but I didn't expect that my eyes were not injured, but I was left with a pitted pockmarked face.

Maybe I'm really an ominous mourner, and whoever gets my hands on it will be unlucky.

Soon after I was born, my grandparents died one after another; When I was seven years old, my well-behaved parents also fell ill and died. Shangguan Ming also died because of me...... I never imagined that Huang Qigu would leave us in the spring when I was eleven years old.

There was a famine that spring, and many people died of starvation. All the wild vegetables in the mountains and fields have been harvested, not to mention the grain. Many people make a living by eating Guanyin soil. At that time, Changling Town was slaughtered, and people were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to wail. If it weren't for Huang Qigu, we would have starved to death. She is a prepared person, and she has prepared a lot of dried sweet potato vines that people use to feed pigs in normal times. Her collection of dried sweet potato vines saved our lives on this hungry spring, but she starved to death on the eve of the harvest. At that time, there was not much left of our sweet potato vines, and she was reluctant to eat them herself, because she wanted to keep them to save our lives. She was so hungry that she secretly ate Guanyin soil late at night after we fell asleep. That night, she ate too much Guanyin soil and died alive.

It is impossible for me to forget the tragic situation after her death, and I think Shangguan Xiong will never forget it until she dies.

After Huang Qigu's death, her eyes were abrupt, her stomach was swollen and bulging high, and her dry hands grabbed her snow-white hair......

After Huang Qigu's death, Shangguan Xiong and I became real wild dogs. If it weren't for Hu Sande, a blacksmith from Changling Town, who took us in as apprentices, we don't know what would have happened. Hu Sande was a short man, and he was not at all suitable for the profession of blacksmith. After we became his apprentices, we learned that this was a man with kung fu, and his short body had accumulated great strength. One night two months after he took us in, he had a simple apprenticeship and then kept making us toast him. He drank heavily and told us why he really took us in after we got drunk. He said that in Changling Town, the person he admired most was Shangguan Xiong's father, Shangguan Ming, who couldn't see his son living in the countryside; He also squinted his little eyes and said to us, it can be seen that you are not idle people, and there will be great achievements in the future; He also said that there is murder in our eyes, and a murderous man is a real man! We didn't understand what he was saying, and when we got drunk, we didn't know anything, and we didn't know how much he drank or said later. He is usually a person who doesn't talk much and seems to be honest, but he didn't expect to hide another unknown side.

Many people in Changling Town were puzzled and discussed about Hu Sande's take-in, and some people even made such an assertion: Hu Sande is not far from death. Such words were very vicious, but after Hu Sande heard it, he just laughed it off, and when someone asked him face-to-face why he took us in, he had nothing to say. One day, Liu Monkey was walking on the street and saw us dragging bellows, he sneered at Hu Sande, who was sweating like rain and playing with iron tools, and said: "Hu Xiaozi, your abacus is very fine, take in these two rabbit cubs, and you don't need to pay for your work!" Hu Sande did not stop the work in his hands, and continued to jingle the iron, saying while striking the iron: "Yes, I support them, why don't they work for me, and why should I pay them?" Liu Monkey sneered again and said, "Don't get into trouble!" Hu Sande heard what Liu Monkey said, smiled and said: "I can't care so much, it's a blessing or a curse, and I can't avoid it!" Steward Liu doesn't have to bother. "Shangguan Xiong and I both stared at him with hatred, and I really wanted to pounce and stab him.

We learned to strike iron with Hu Sande during the day, and he taught us martial arts at night.

In the backyard of the blacksmith's shop, Shangguan Xiong and I learned tiger boxing and a set of knife techniques. Hu Sande said to us earnestly: "Iron striking is a craft that can enable you to support your family; Martial arts is also a craft, which can allow you to defend yourself and keep fit, you all have to learn hard, and you can't be sloppy! ”

Shangguan Xiong and I remembered the words of our master Hu Sande.

We grew up in blacksmithing until we were sixteen. In the past few years, we have not caused any trouble except for practicing martial arts and striking iron, and our bodies have become taller and stronger. By the age of sixteen, we had grown beards on our lips and chins, and our voices were thick, but we were usually silent and did not say a word of nonsense. Master Hu Sande once said to us: "Men use the murderous aura on their bodies to deter their opponents, not words!" "We can't see the murderous aura on Hu Sande's body, but he has always had a huge power to deter us, and this power even surpasses Shangguan Ming.

One night, after drinking, Hu Sande said to us: "You will soon leave me, alas, I am also old!" ”

I said, "Master, we will never leave you!" ”

Shangguan Xiong also said: "Master, okay, why did you say such a thing, we won't leave you!" ”

Hu Sande laughed and laughed with tears in his eyes: "Children, believe me!" You will soon leave me, you are not a thing in the pool, you are destined to go to the great rivers to fight the wind and waves! You should go when you go, and leave me alone, don't you remember?! ”

Shangguan Xiong and I looked at each other.

Hu Sande put away the smile on his face, and a fierce murderous aura burst out of his small eyes: "Let me ask again, do you remember what I just said?" ”

We had never seen him like this, so we said in unison, "We remember!" ”

Hu Sande exhaled a long breath of wine.

In the next few days, Hu Sande didn't do anything else, but made a ghost head knife for each of us. After beating those two ghost head knives, Hu Sande suddenly became old. Fate is so cruel, maybe Hu Sande had long expected that one day, he would die because of us.

At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, and the flames of war soon burned to the mountainous areas of western Fujian. At that time, we didn't know how cruel the situation was, but we just heard from the people who were doing business outside and said after returning to Changling Town that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were fighting very badly outside. The biggest change is the Liu family's mansion, the Liu family has added a lot of family members, and bought back a lot of guns from outside. When those family members walked on the street with guns on their backs, Shangguan Xiong and I felt very uncomfortable, I would naturally think of the ** that blew up the chamber, and thought, is the gun on the shoulder of the Liu family Ding more powerful than **, if I have a gun, what will happen?

A lot of things happen unexpectedly.

That ruin was originally very ordinary, and people from four towns and eight villages gathered in Changling Town to catch the market. Shangguan Xiong and I were playing sickles shirtless, the autumn harvest was about to begin, and the farmers needed a lot of sickles, and we were so busy that we didn't even have time to fart for a while. At noon, the streets of the town were lively, and there was no scene of war and chaos at all, as if it was a peaceful and prosperous world. Every time I come to the market, I feel like this, maybe my heart is very longing for peace and prosperity.

Shangguan Xiong and I were striking iron, when suddenly an exclamation came from the street outside the blacksmith: "Hooligans—"

Shangguan Xiong's eyes and I fell on a young and beautiful village girl on the street at the same time, and two young men who were hanging on the road caught the village girl one after the other, and one of the young men smiled lewdly and stretched out his hand to grab the village girl's full breasts. The village girl scolded angrily, and she couldn't escape if she wanted to, and the people on the street dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, because the young man who reached out and grabbed the village girl's chest was Liu Monkey's son Liu Crooked Tooth, and the other was his cousin Li Shuifa. Liu crooked his teeth inch by inch, and said with a dead face: "Mei Jiaoniang, which village are you from, follow me, I will let you eat well and dress beautifully, and live a fairy-like life!" As he spoke, he groped and scratched at the village girl, and the ugliness was unbearable. The village girl was furious, her face was flushed, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she scolded and struggled. Liu crooked teeth actually jumped up and hugged the village girl, people were in a commotion, and some people said: "There is no royal law, in broad daylight, you actually bully a woman from a good family like this!" "But no one dared to stand up for the humiliated village girl.

I felt a rush of blood rushing to my head, Shangguan Xiong and I looked at each other, and we both stopped what we were doing at the same time and rushed out. I stood in front of Liu Crooked Ya, Shangguan Xiong stood in front of Li Shuifa, we separated them from the village girl, I turned back to the village girl and said, "You hurry up and leave!" The village girl took the opportunity to run away and quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd. Liu crooked his teeth and angrily scolded me: "You mourning star, looking for death!" "I stared at this evil young man, and I really wanted to beat him flat with one punch, but the master told us not to shoot lightly. Immediately afterward, Liu crooked his teeth and punched me in the chest, he seemed to hit the iron plate, I didn't feel anything, but he grinned in pain. Li Shuifa didn't make a move, Shangguan's eagle-like gaze made his legs tremble slightly, after all, he was not as arrogant as Liu Crooked Teeth.

Liu Crooked Teeth couldn't take advantage of us, so he took Li Shuifa and walked away. Before leaving, he threw down a sentence: "Mourning Star, you wait for me, you feel good with you!" "I watched them leave and felt that something was about to happen, in Changling Town, no one could beat the Liu family, even if we had a good kung fu.

Hu Sande was in the shop, watching everything that happened.

When we returned to the blacksmith shop, he had no expression on his face, as calm as on any other day, and he just said lightly: "Close the door!" "We thought it was incredible, how could we close the store with so many people coming to buy sickles today? He saw our thoughts, and said lightly: "Close the store, today's business is gone!" ”

The master's words were decreed, and we invited the man who bought the sickle in the shop out and closed the door of the blacksmith shop. After the door closed, many people patted the door panel outside, shouting for a sickle. Hu Sande was indifferent to the people outside, he led us to the back room, and said calmly to us: "You guys quickly pack up your things and get ready to go!" ”

I wondered, "Why are we leaving?" ”

Shangguan Xiong was also puzzled: "We are fine, why are we leaving?" ”

Hu Sande said unhurriedly: "You are in trouble, if you don't leave at this time, when will you stay?" ”

We both looked at each other.

Hu Sande continued: "To be honest, you have always been a thorn in the eye of the Liu family, and they didn't move you before, because you were still young, and they thought that you were so bad that I had lost your temper." But now, you have regained their attention, they feel that you suddenly have strength and blood, and they will get rid of you, otherwise you will always be a problem for the Liu family! Therefore you must go, and besides, it is time for you to go out, and to go out and endure the storms. ”

I said, "If we don't leave, it's a big deal to fight with them!" ”

Shangguan Xiong also said: "Yes, fight with them to break the net!" ”

Hu Sande smiled and said, "Are you stupid? Just the two of you, can you fight more than a dozen guns of the Liu family? Don't talk to me, hurry up and pack your things, as soon as it gets dark, you will leave Changling Town, and go as far as possible! ”

I said, "Master, what will you do after we leave?" ”

Shangguan Xiong said: "We can't leave you alone!" ”

Hu Sande smiled again: "It's rare that you have this heart for me, you don't care about me, I will have a way, I eat more salt than you eat rice, I haven't seen any difficulties, as long as you go, I can resist anything!" Okay, without further talking to you, you can pack your things! ”

After Hu Sande finished speaking, he went to the shop, although he did not reopen the door of the shop, but we heard the sound of clanging iron and the shouts of people outside the store, and the sound of Hu Sande striking iron knocked on our hearts. We know that the master is also going through a storm inside, although he is so calm and dismissive on the surface.

We didn't expect that this departure would be a farewell to our master Hu Sande.

It's all me, the mourning star, who has harmed the master who has no quarrel with the world!

If it weren't for our impulse, Hu Sande wouldn't have died under the indiscriminate gunfire.

As soon as it got dark that night, Hu Sande drove us away. We put our burdens on our backs, stuck the ghost head knife that the master had made for us behind our backs, and walked out from the back of the blacksmith's shop. We said to Hu Sande: "Master, take care! "Then, we knelt down for Hu Sande in the dark. Hu Sande's voice became trembling at this time: "Let's go!" He closed the door as if he had separated us from a world, and in fact, we had not been in the same world since. We felt sad along the narrow alley, towards the outside of the town.

We walked more than ten miles, Shangguan Xiong stopped, and he said to me in a heavy voice: "The great revenge has not been avenged, so we are willing to go like this?" ”

I said, "What do you want?" ”

Shangguan Xiong said coldly: "If you don't do it, let's just go back and kill Liu Monkey and them before leaving!" ”

I hesitated: "This-"

Shangguan Xiong said: "Earth dog, are you scared? ”

I said, "What do I have to be afraid of." However, the Liu family's mansion is heavily guarded, how can we get in? ”

Shangguan Xiong said: "You can follow me, I will ask for Liu Monkey's dog head tonight." ”

So, we turned back to the town of Long Ridge in the dark.

On this dark night, no one knows what will happen in Changling Town. The occasional barking of dogs on the small street adds a bit of mystery and uneasiness to the night of this mountainous town in western Fujian. There was a strange smell wafting through the air, like the scent of psychedelic flowers.

The Liu family's mansion is as silent as the entire Changling Town.

The people of the Liu family did not expect that we would climb over the wall from the backyard of the Liu family's mansion, although the Liu family had more than a dozen guns, but those family members were all sleeping, and even the family member on night duty was sleeping against the gate. What we were most worried about was the vicious dog, and before entering the Liu family's mansion, we discussed it, and killed it as soon as we saw it!

Sure enough, as soon as we climbed over the wall, the vicious dog pounced on us, at this time we are no longer the childhood of us, I saw Shangguan Xiong's body flash, the ghost knife in his hand slashed out like lightning, the evil dog didn't have time to bark more, the dog's head flew out, and fell on the grass in the back garden with a pop.

What room does Liu Monkey live in?

We were at a loss. If we go from room to room, we will definitely alarm a lot of people, and then we will not only not be able to kill anyone, but we may not be able to escape ourselves. What to do? Just when we were wondering, we saw the bright light, a person carrying a lantern towards the toilet, through the light of the lantern, we saw that it was the fifth sister-in-law of the Liu family's maid.

We felt in the direction of the toilet.

The fifth sister-in-law didn't have time to take off her pants, and the cold and shining ghost head knife in Shangguan Xiong's hand was on her neck, and we covered our faces, she didn't know who we were at all. The fifth sister-in-law trembled and said: "Good man, I have no grievances with you, you can let me go, I am also a poor man, and it is useless for you to kill me——"

I suppressed my voice and said, "We won't kill you, tell us, where does Liu Monkey live?" ”

Without any consideration, the fifth sister-in-law told us where Liu Monkey lived.

Shangguan Xiong pulled out the fifth sister-in-law's trouser belt, tied her to a post in the toilet, tore a piece of cloth from her clothes, and stuffed it in her mouth. We smelled a foul smell, and the fifth sister-in-law was so frightened that she was in the crotch of her pants.

We found exactly the room of Liu Monkey.

I used the tip of my knife to pick open the latch of Liu's room and felt inside. Shangguan Xiong gently closed the door in the back. The room was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. We couldn't see where Liu Monkey's bed was, so it was easy to miss. Shangguan Xiong suddenly made some noise, and Liu Monkey's voice came from the darkness: "Who-" Then, a woman's voice came: "Dead monkey, why are you getting less and less courageous, you are always suspicious, go to sleep, how can there be anyone!" Liu Monkey said: "No, I feel that there is some movement, quickly, light the lamp!" The woman said angrily: "You have to go and order it yourself, the old lady wants to sleep!" Liu Monkey scolded and got out of bed, struck a match, and lit an oil lamp. Saying that it was too late, Shangguan Xiong pounced and put the knife on Liu Monkey's neck. I heard a scream from the woman on the bed, I rushed over and pressed the knife against the woman's mouth: "You dare to scream again, Lao Tzu has chopped you alive!" The woman trembled all over, and she didn't dare to take a breath. Liu Monkey was frightened: "Good man, spare your life, spare your life!" ”

I didn't expect that Liu Monkey, who usually flaunts his martial arts in Changling Town, would be so unplanted, and before we could do it, he was already paralyzed. I said to Shangguan Xiong: "Hurry up, someone will be here in a while!" Shangguan Xiong didn't seem to hear my words, he tore off the cloth covering his face, and leaned his face closer to Liu Monkey: "Old thing, you see, it's Shangguan Xiong who came to take your dog's life today!" Honestly, did you kill my father? Liu Monkey trembled and said, "Yes...... It was Liu Shiqing who asked me to do it, he ...... He asked me to take someone to dig a trap where your father frequented......" Before Liu Monkey finished speaking, Shangguan Xiong raised his knife and split his head in half. The woman on the bed saw this scene and tilted her head and fainted.

I felt my throat was dry, gasped for breath and said, "Let's go!" ”

Shangguan Xiong's eyes were blood-red: "If you don't do it, just kill Liu Shiqing's old dog!" ”

……

When we were running on the mountain road leading to the outside world, the town of Changling had already exploded, and the voices of people and dogs were barking. We didn't know at all that our master Hu Sande ushered in a catastrophe in the blacksmith's shop. As for what happened to Master Hu Sande after we left, we only found out much later.

Liu Monkey's son, Liu Crooked Tooth, took the Liu family's family members, held torches, and surrounded the blacksmith shop with loaded guns. Liu crooked his teeth kicked the door of the blacksmith's shop with his foot, and roared angrily: "Hu Xiaozi, hand over Shangguanxiong and them!" ”

There was no sound at all inside, and Liu Crooked Ya yelled at those housekeepers: "Smash the door open for Lao Tzu!" ”

The wolf-like family quickly smashed the door open. They smelled a strong smell of wine, and saw Hu Sande sitting in the center of the blacksmith with a ghost-headed knife, his face flushed, and his eyes wide.

Liu pointed a gun at Hu Sande's head and said, "What about Shangguan Xiong?" ”

Hu Sande laughed: "They? What's wrong with them? ”

Liu's crooked tooth's face turned the color of pig liver: "Old thing, don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly, where are they?" I grabbed them to skin them and pump their tendons! ”

Hu Sande laughed again: "I expected that they would kill those two old dogs, the old man didn't see the wrong person, hahahaha-"

Liu Crooked Tooth was trembling with anger, and he was about to shoot, Hu Sande jumped up, waved the ghost head knife in his hand, and cut off Liu Crooked Tooth's head!

A flurry of gunfire rang out, and Hu Sande fell to the ground, blood flowing from all parts of his body...... That night, the town of Changling was filled with a strong smell of blood. The strong smell of blood remained on us, or we could not drift away for the rest of our lives, and the escape that night was actually so blind, we didn't know where we were going, what the future would be, and we didn't know anything......
