Chapter 71, how to be born like a flower

Zhou Wen has not liked reading since he was a child, but he is very interested in boxing, but the ancestors of the Zhou family are all literati, and all generations of sons have inherited their father's business, and have taken the road of entering the imperial examination, and have never been a martial artist, let alone participate in martial arts, so Zhou Wen's hobby has not been supported by the Zhou family's elders at all.

Zhou Wang's is a relatively open-minded mother, and she is more lenient in her children's education, coupled with the depreciation of Zhou Yuan's grandfather's officialdom, Zhou Yuan's father and Zhou Yuan cannot go out, so Zhou Wang's heart feels that being an official is not only beautiful but also very risky, so he is not so enthusiastic about letting his son study and test his fame.

Zhou Wen didn't want to read, and Zhou Wang's family didn't force him to read, sometimes Zhou Yuan really couldn't see Zhou Wen's lack of learning and skills, so he couldn't help but teach him a lesson. Whenever this happens, the Zhou Wang clan will help Zhou Wen cover up. came and went, and Zhou Yuan was helpless, so he could only let Zhou Wen go.

When Zhou Wen was ten years old, a strong man with a knife wound broke into the village, and the wound looked very dangerous. Zhoujia Village is full of peasant households, looking at his knife wound, his heart trembled, afraid that this person would attract the enemy and refuse to take this person in, so he scraped together a few taels of silver and begged the man to leave Zhoujia Village quickly. The man did not want to embarrass the honest villagers, so he left the village.

The people in the village were afraid that he would make a false move, so they sent a few men to follow him and gave him a ride. The man didn't say anything, and let them go.

At that time, although Zhou Wen was young, he had a lot of ghost eyes, so he sneaked out of the village with the man, and didn't return home until he saw the man's foothold. The next day, he kicked two white-faced buns in his arms and went out of the village to find the man, and quietly took the person to Qiongya Mountain to hide, and every day he sent food and gold sore medicine, not to mention how attentive he was.

After hiding like this for nearly two months, the injuries on the strong man's body were no longer serious, so he asked Zhou Wen with a smile: "Little brother, you have taken care of me behind your parents' back for so long, aren't you afraid that I will be a villain?" ”

Zhou Wen smiled and said, "Do you look like a fool at home?" Naturally, I have a plan in mind to take care of you. ”

The strong man was speechless and said strangely: "Do you know who I am? ”

Zhou Wen raised his head: "Two years ago, I went to Qingzhou with my father to run errands, and I saw an arrest warrant from the Zhang Guanfu posted at the gate of the city. ”

Liu Zongying raised his eyebrows: "Since you know that I am a mountain bandit, you still dare to save me?" ”

Zhou Wen talked eloquently with his small chest.

The government said that Liu Da Dang robbed the 100,000 taels of silver that Jia Jishi, the richest man in Qingzhou, transported to the capital, and should be arrested and beheaded for public display, but many poor families in Qingzhou secretly set up an immortal tablet for Liu Da Dang's family, praying for the Bodhisattva to bless the great boss with good luck and good fortune. Can the big boss tell the kid why this is? ”

Liu Zongying laughed when she heard this, "So, the little brother also thinks that Liu is a good person?" ”

Zhou Wen thought for a while and replied: "As far as the court law is concerned, the big boss is a gang of people and bandits, and for those who have received your favor, the big boss is a good person, and in my opinion, you have a mixed reputation." ”

Liu Zongying smiled again, and then said: "I don't think my little brother's words and deeds are like children of small families, since I agree with the laws of the imperial court, why don't you go to the government to report me, but hide me to heal?" ”

Zhou Wen smiled, sat down opposite him, and said slyly: "I'm still young, and I don't understand the world of adults." I just saw that someone was injured, and it was very pitiful that he didn't have anything to eat or drink, so I gave some food and medicine, just out of a pure heart. ”

"Hahaha." Liu Zongying couldn't stop laughing after hearing this, and only stopped laughing from the pain of the wound, and said, "You kid is interesting, what's your name?" ”

Zhou Wenguan'er, who was not at all restrained in front of this big man, handed him the jar of wine, and said: "My surname is Zhou, and the eldest brother just calls me Brother Wen." ”

Liu Zongying was angry, and he slapped Zhou Wen on the back of the head, "Stinky boy, what big brother, my daughter is two or three years younger than you, called Uncle Liu." ”

Zhou Wen hid when he raised his hand, but he didn't dodge. This person with strong martial arts is different, Liu Zongying's hand is like having eyes, if he wants to hit you, you can hit him even if you dodge.

He touched the back of his head, pursed his lips and said, "I don't know your surname is Liu, so let's call you uncle." ”

Liu Zongying smiled: "You kid is slippery." Say, what do you want after so long? ”

Zhou Wen said with a smile on his face: "Don't want anything, send an apprentice to you, do you want to?" ”

Liu Zongying looked at the next Zhou Wen and said strangely: "Do you want to learn martial arts?" Your family is not short of money, where can you find a martial artist, can you have a relationship with me, a mountain bandit? ”

Zhou Wen smiled bitterly: "My family has valued literature over martial arts for generations, and my grandfather and father want me to participate in the Wenju, but there is no hope of inviting a martial artist." Uncle has been favored by me for so long, and the rivers and lakes can't refuse me morally. ”

Liu Zongying scolded the stinky boy again, pointed to the rice bowl in front of him and said, "Is it a little blind?" Don't you fill up the wine for the teacher? ”

In this way, Zhou Wen embarked on the road of martial arts.

In order to lay a good foundation for Zhou Wen, Liu Zongying stayed in Qiongya Mountain for more than half a year before leaving, and after that, he would quietly come to Zhoujia Village every once in a while to guide Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen has no talent in reading, but he is very wise in martial arts, and he is a person who has perseverance and can endure hardships, and after five or six cold summers, he can already ask for some tricks under Liu Zongying.

When Zhou Wen was seventeen years old, Zhou Wang's family began to give him Zhang Luo's marriage, originally Zhou Wen didn't care, no matter who it was, just marry him and spoil him. At this moment, Liu Zongying found him and brought a very beautiful girl. He said that he was poisoned and died soon, this girl was his daughter, named Liu Shuang, only fifteen years old, he was very worried about this daughter after his death, and wanted Zhou Wen to marry her.

Liu Shuang looks very standard, Zhou Wen likes it very much, but he can't make the decision about marriage himself, and Liu Shuang is the daughter of a mountain bandit, which is not easy to do.

Just when he was thinking about it, Liu Shuang spoke first.

"Dad, you obviously said that you brought me to see my senior brother, why did you want to marry me to him? I don't agree, how can my husband be so weak, I don't want to beat me. ”

Zhou Wen raised his eyebrows, where did he see Wen weak? Besides, she didn't fight, how did this little girl know that he couldn't beat him?

Liu Zongying knew that Zhou Wen was also arrogant, so he ignored Liu Shuang and looked at Zhou Wen.

"How can the little sister speak? You look like your nostrils are facing the sky without fighting, and you are too arrogant. Zhou Wen didn't care whether Liu Zongying was happy or not when he heard this, he stood up straight and looked at Liu Shuang with contempt.

Liu Shuang grew up in the bandits' den since she was a child, and her temperament is not ordinary pungent, how can she bear it when she heard this, her eyes widened, and she found Zhou Wen with a whip.

Zhou Wen's hard work over the years has been verified at this moment, although he was whipped a few times by Liu Shuang, he didn't lose to her, and he held her directly in his arms.

"You let me go." Liu Shuang was held in Zhou Wen's arms by the wrist, and her pretty face was flushed, and she didn't know whether she was ashamed or angry.

After a while, Zhou Wen was aroused by Liu Shuang's interest, and after listening to her words, he hugged him tighter, and chuckled: "How do I know if you will turn your face and refuse to admit it after letting go?" ”

Liu Shuang was half dead, stomped on his feet, and stepped directly on Zhou Wen's toes. Zhou Wen took a cool breath, and as soon as he let go of his hand, Liu Shuang broke free.

"You disciple." As soon as he was freed, Liu Shuangliu's eyebrows rose upside down, and the whip flew towards Zhou Wen, who was frowning because of his foot pain, accompanied by a curse.

"Frost, Hugh is presumptuous." Liu Zongying stepped forward and snatched Liu Shuang's whip.

Liu Shuang glared at Zhou Wen and ran away angrily.

Liu Zongying looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "How is it?" Interested in taking on a challenge? This daughter of mine is not something that anyone would dare to marry. ”

Zhou Wen was indeed provoked by Liu Shuang's desire to conquer, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Heh, no matter how spicy she is, she is also a woman, and the master is still afraid of her?" She doesn't look down on the master, and the master has to marry her. ”

Liu Zongying put his mind at ease, slammed him with a palm while Zhou Wen was not paying attention, and secretly left a note for the Zhou family and took Zhou Wen back to Izumo Mountain.

The Zhou family only knew that their children were taken away by a bandit in the name of collecting apprentices, but it was unknown which mountain the bandits were in at the time. Zhou Yuan ran around and asked, but many people didn't have any news. Zhou Wang's son disappeared, washed his face with tears every day, and often went to the temple to pray for the Bodhisattva to bless his son. One day I met the monk Puji, Puji listened to her retelling, and told her that everyone has their own fate, Zhou Wenshi met his own fate, and there is no danger to his life, please wait with peace of mind, her son will come back sooner or later.

At this point, the Zhou family half-believed Puji's statement and stopped looking around.

Speaking of Izuyun Mountain, there are mountain bandits in the cottage, and those who have good intentions naturally have evil intentions. Who and what kind of Liu Zongying saw it. In the past, he was in good health and didn't take the scum in these teams seriously, but now that his body has deteriorated rapidly, he has to plan for Izumo Mountain and Yanagishuang in advance.

It is said that parents love their children, and they have a long-term plan. Liu Shuang's mother died very early, and before she died, she only hoped that her only daughter would marry a good family. Liu Zongying didn't want to let his beloved daughter go down the mountain to be a good citizen according to her mother's wishes, but he is the person named on the government's wanted notice, and which family would dare to marry his daughter? After looking for a few years, he gave up, planning to find a reliable husband for Liu Shuang in the mountains, but he met Zhou Wen by chance. At the beginning, he was willing to teach Zhou Wen to practice martial arts, firstly because of his healing grace, and secondly, he had the idea of recruiting him as his son-in-law.

After so many years of spring and autumn, Liu Zongying was a hundred satisfied with Zhou Wen, so he tricked Liu Shuang into meeting Zhou Wen. Since Zhou Wen agreed to the marriage, Liu Zongying pressed his beloved daughter and took Zhou Wen back to Izumo Mountain.

Zhou Wen has been there for three years, busy practicing martial arts, busy learning to manage this group of mountain bandits with Liu Zongying, and even more busy competing with Liu Shuang.
