Chapter 623: On the night of the full moon, the top of the Windward Gorge
Yang Xingzhou acted as he pleased, but in the general direction, it was extremely correct, and many officials punished had a way to die, coupled with great publicity, so the foolish man and foolish woman sang praises and sang praises for the current emperor, and the prestige of Emperor Hongwu was pushed to a higher level.
It took almost three months to clean up the superstructure in this way, and it slowly calmed down between the government and the opposition.
Counting on his fingers, the time for the decisive battle between Pang Ban and Li Ruohai is approaching.
August 15.
The night of the full moon.
On the side of the windward canyon, Li Ruohai immediately stood on the top of the mountain.
A full moon hangs high overhead, exuding a cold glow, the mountain wind blows, the clothes hunting, the red flame fire dragon foal gently snorts and exhales, and the mane is like a burning flame, constantly dancing in the wind.
Li Ruohai looked up at the full moon in the night, his heart was unprecedentedly agitated, and all the fragments he had experienced in his life appeared in his mind one by one.
He came from a humble background, and since he was a child, he was convenient for his little brother Li Ruohe to rely on each other, and went through all kinds of hardships and hardships, when Li Ruohai was fifteen years old, his younger brother Li Ruohe was thirteen years old.
In the winter of that year, the weather was extremely cold, and Li Ruohai took his younger brother to wear straw sandals and beg for life in rags, struggling for his life.
"Brother, sugar gourd!"
When the two came to the city, Li Ruohe saw that sugar gourds were being sold on the street, and stood aside and watched, with extreme longing in his eyes, and saliva couldn't stop flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"Xiaohe, when my brother earns money, I will definitely buy you a lot of sugar gourds, so that you can eat enough!"
Li Ruohai forcibly pulled Li Ruohe away from the people selling sugar gourds, and began to look for work on the street door to door.
Li Ruohe reluctantly looked in the direction of buying sugar gourds, turned back repeatedly, and said to Li Ruohai: "Brother, when I have money, I want to eat two strings of sugar gourds!" No, three strings! ”
He didn't dare to say too much, being able to eat three strings of sugar gourds was already the greatest happiness for him at this time.
Li Ruohai's eyes were full of tears, and he said loudly: "How can three strings be enough?" What's so delicious about sugar gourds? When my brother is rich, he can eat whatever he wants! ”
But bold words can't solve the difficulties in front of him, the sky and the earth are big, the food is the biggest, he can't even eat, everything is empty, no matter how distressed Li Ruohai is for his little brother, he can't change his status quo in a short time.
He began to lead Li Ruohe to look for a living along the street, as long as they could take them in, they would be willing to work to the death, never lazy, but almost all of them suffered coldly, now the business is not good, Li Ruohai is a burden, naturally no one will take them in.
No one wants to be an apprentice, and it's not easy these days.
Thundered!
A two-horse carriage came galloping in front of them, and the people on the street fled in panic, fearing that they would be hit by the carriage and die.
At that time, Meng Yuan divided the people of the Central Plains into four classes, and the Han people were the last class.
And in order to suppress the Han people and beware of the rebellion of the Central Plains, ordinary people could not even have iron tools, and there was a case of a kitchen knife shared by a village.
In this case, when the Central Plains people see the Mengyuan people, they must salute when they meet, otherwise they will be whipped, Li Ruohai and Li Ruohe brothers have been in the countryside for a long time, and they rarely meet the Mengyuan people, and at this time they saw the carriage rampage on the street, they were all at a loss.
People on both sides of the street knelt down in front of the rushing carriage.
Only the two Li Ruohai brothers were there, and they didn't know what to do.
"Get on your knees!"
When the carriage galloped past, the people in the car didn't even glance at the people kneeling on both sides, and disappeared on the long street, but a few gangsters on the street saw themselves kneeling, and the Li Ruohai brothers called Huazi to go is not expensive, and they were dissatisfied, and a gangster walked up to the two and shouted: "Everyone else kneels, you two called Hanako don't kneel, so bold!" ”
He walked up to Li Ruohai viciously: "Kneel down!" ”
A group of people next to him also had a heart of resentment, everyone knelt down, why didn't these two Hanako kneel?
Everyone knelt down, everyone was mentally balanced, but when there were two people who didn't kneel, they suddenly felt that something was stinging, and their hearts gave birth to anger that they couldn't say.
Neither of the beggars knelt, but we knelt!
"Get on your knees!"
"Get on your knees!"
"When you see an adult, you have to kneel, this is the rule!"
"Yes, that's the rule! If it's a rule, you have to follow it! ”
They clamored, with a look of shame and anger, pointing at the Li Ruohai brothers, foaming at the mouth, trying to make the Li Ruohai brothers the same as them.
"I don't kneel! Whose rule is this? ”
Li Ruohai protected his brother behind him, stood up straight, and looked at the people around him: "The eldest husband kneels to the sky, kneels to the ground, and kneels to his parents in the middle, except for this, I don't kneel anyone!" ”
Li Ruohe stood behind his brother and whispered, "Brother, why don't we kneel?" ”
Li Ruohai turned to Li Ruohe and said sharply: "Xiaohe, you remember, the husband must not kneel casually!" You can't kneel even if you die! Only a coward will kneel and beg for mercy, we are hungry until now, why don't we want to eat? Because if you want food, you have to bow your head, you have to kneel! ”
"You don't kneel? Lao Tzu can't help but be able to control you, Master Meng, and he can't control you? ”
A thug was furious, rushed forward, and slapped Li Ruohai with a slap, but was avoided by Li Ruohai.
Some people are born amazing, and Li Ruohai is this kind of person.
He was born with greater strength than ordinary people, and his reaction was faster than ordinary people, and the reason why he was able to live until now after the death of his parents was because of his flexible hands and feet, his intelligence was abnormal, he caught hares and voles, broke the ice and fished, and his means of survival were higher than others, which led his younger brother to live until now.
At this time, in the face of a punch from the thug, he dodged and kicked the thug's knee with a kick."
click", the other party's knees were instantly deformed and twisted, and then a miserable howl sounded, the little gangster immediately knelt on the ground, and the rest of the gangsters rushed up and began to fight with Li Ruohai, but they were all beaten down, but Li Ruohai was also injured, his back was knocked many times, and his shoulder was almost broken by a stick.
After this fight, some people in the city knew that there was a stubborn young man who did not kneel in the face of Master Meng Yuan, so the matter began to spread.
In the end, it alarmed the nobles in the city, and when Li Ruohai went out to look for a job, a group of Mengyuan warriors found the broken temple where they lived, and Li Ruohe was the only one cooking in the temple at that time.
When Li Ruohai returned to the broken temple, Li Ruohe had been beaten and was dying, and he was no longer human, and the blood foam at the corner of his mouth was gurgling out, and he couldn't see it.
When Li Ruohai helped him up, Li Ruohe's swollen eyes looked at Li Ruohai, vomiting blood, and said softly: "Brother, there are many of them, let me kneel, I didn't kneel." And they beat me, and they beat me, and I did not kneel. Am I brave? ”
He took out a bunch of hawthorn berries from his arms: "This is the hawthorn fruit I picked myself, and if I skewer it myself, there is no sugar, and I can't make a rock sugar gourd." ”
Li Ruohe handed the string of hawthorn fruits to Li Ruohai: "I didn't ask for food, I didn't ask for help, I made it myself, brother, give it to ......"
The hawthorn fruit fell to the ground.
Li Ruohe's hand drooped, and his eyes were open.
After all, he didn't survive this harsh winter and died in Li Ruohai's arms.
Li Ruohai howled and cried!
His last relative died in his arms, and it was Meng Yuan's old men who killed him!
Such a sea of blood and hatred, not to share the sky!
After Li Ruohai was accepted as a disciple by a high-roller in the rivers and lakes, he learned a martial arts, and after he was successful in his studies, he single-handedly entered the original city, chased the murderer for thousands of miles, and killed all the people who were related to the mutilation of his younger brother.
Among the masters of the black list in the world, if you talk about killing the most Tartars, it is Li Ruohai.
But even so, it couldn't save Li Ruohe's life.
This is Li Ruohai's regret in his life, he has been suppressed in his heart on weekdays, but on the night of this decisive battle, he sprayed out from his heart like a fountain, filling his entire heart.
Heartache and pain, happiness, love and hatred, all roll around in the heart, like hot water, washing away all kinds of "dirt" hidden in the heart, and an unprecedented sense of transparency permeates the whole body.
He slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, he slowly opened them again, his face was neither sad nor joyful, but his heart was complete and transparent, and there was no flaw.
It was at this moment that he saw Pang Bian.
