The old store of the Confucian family in Zhuxian Town

Huaihuazi asked, "Third Master, how is it?" Qin Yixuan's eyebrows tightened: "The injury is not light, I'll try." As he spoke, he pulled a ball of gauze, opened a small bottle of medicine, poured some potion on the gauze, and wiped the blood around the wound. Pulled another ball of gauze, opened another bottle of medicine, poured out some viscous ointment, handed it to Huaihuazi and said, "Take it." ”

After speaking, he pulled out the head of the spear and said, "Seventh Master, you bear with it." As he spoke, he pulled out the tip of the spear and threw it on the ground. Huai Huazi closed her eyes suddenly, Liu Heiqi twitched, and did not react much, probably already unconscious. The third master said, "Bring it." Huaihuazi hurriedly handed over the gauze with medicine, and Qin Yuxuan took it and hurriedly applied the gauze to the affected area. He pulled the gauze again and tightened the medicated gauze on his body, turned back to Huaihuazi and said, "You go find some water." ”

Outside the woods was a small river, and Huaihuazi poured a sheath of water with a scabbard, and ran over in a hurry. Qin Yixuan took out three more pills from the box, opened one of them, broke it and kneaded it into small pills, and said to Huaihuazi, "Pour it down." Huaihuazi didn't dare to slack off, and Sanmazi pryed open Liu Heiqi's mouth and poured it down.

After a bag of cigarettes, Liu Heiqi gradually came to his senses. I saw him look left and right, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of black and purple blood with a "wow", and then covered the wound on his left rib and shouted: "It hurts me to death." ”

Huaihuazi and San Mazi looked happy and hurriedly poured a few mouthfuls of water on him. He looked up at Qin Yanxuan and said, "Third Master, is there any pain medicine?" Qin Yunxuan said: "What I gave him just now was the 'Bilian Gum Ginseng Dan' prepared by my Qin family's ancestral secret recipe, which has a miraculous effect on nourishing blood and invigorating qi, so he can wake up so quickly, if it weren't for it, it would have been dead a long time ago." As for the wound he just coated on, it was another treasure of my Qin family, 'Qin's Golden Sore Medicine'. Don't worry, after a bag of cigarettes, the kung fu medicine will be effective, and the wound will feel numb and cold. ”

Sure enough, after another bag of cigarettes, Liu Heiqi stopped crying out in pain, and his face gradually became ruddy. Huai Huazi came up to Liu Heiqi and said, "Big brother, it was the third master who saved you." Liu Heiqi's face was full of guilt, and he struggled to sit up, but was stopped by Qin Yuxuan: "Seventh Master, you are seriously injured now, and you can't talk much." Liu Heiqi lay down again: "The third master has a life-saving grace for me Liu Heiqi, and I will repay your great kindness in the future." After saying that, he was out of breath and closed his eyes.

Qin Yixuan handed over a bottle of "Qin's Jinchuang Cream" and two "Bilian Gum Shendan" to Huaihuazi and said: "This is my Qin's ancestral two treasures, this Jinchuang paste will be changed once in the morning and evening, and Bilian Gum Shendan can be taken one in three days." You go to the pharmacy in the Banpo shop in front and ask Mr. to prescribe some more medicine to wash the wound, and in less than a month, the seventh master's injury will be healed. ”

Huaihuazi knelt on the ground: "Third master, we tied you up, you repay your grievances with virtue, my eldest brother and I will never forget your great kindness, and you will ask someone to go to Liyuantun, Liyuantun, Guanxian County, Shandong Province to carry a letter on our silk buns." I Huaihuazi went to the soup and went to the fire, and I did not give up. Liu Heiqi struggled to open his eyes and nodded.

Qin Yunxuan said: "It's just that there are two things I still don't understand. First, who wants you to follow and kidnap me? The second is why didn't you tie me up directly on the road, but came to Zhuxian Town to tie me up a day later than me? ”

Huai Huazi said: "The third master forgives, is entrusted by people, and is loyal to people, this is the rule of the road." I can't answer the first question, but I can tell you that some people say that the imperial jade is in your hands and is willing to pay 30,000 taels of silver to buy the imperial jade, so we followed you all the way here. The second question can be answered. Originally, we suspected that you were Qin Sanye at the crossing, but we were still not sure, so we tried on the road, but you hid it well. At that time, we decided to go to Zhuxian Town and stay in an inn with you to watch further. But when I walked to Fengqiu and heard that Fengqiu County ordered Chen Baozhen to resign and return to his hometown, our eldest brother sent me to follow you all the way to Zhuxian Town. And the six of them went to Fengqiu to sweep the dishes (step on the point), because Chen Baozhen's old dog scavenged the land, fished and fleshed the people, and they didn't know how much ill-gotten gains. Who knew that the eldest brother arrived in Fengqiu and learned that the date of the dog official's return to his hometown had been postponed again, so he was delayed for a day in Fengqiu. I was the one who followed you that day on Yau Basket Street and Yue Wang Temple. Qin Yixuan turned around and asked San Mazi: "You really killed my friend and nephew?" ”

San Mazi was just about to answer, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a woman's voice outside the forest say: "Mr. Liu, don't be ungrateful." Huangyu for the time being, you save it for me first, and I'll go to you to get it for Ming'er. Qin Sanye is also my friend, if you hurt Qin Sanye's hair, my Baiyi Society and you will not be finished. With that, a horse outside the forest galloped north.

Qin Yunxuan felt inexplicable when he heard this, this woman was obviously not Li Youlan's voice, but how could she say that she was her friend? Could it be her?

Qin Heixuan left the car to Liu Heiqi and the others, and Liu Heiqi gave his "chrysanthemum blue" to Qin Heixuan.

Qin Yixuan returned to the old store of the Kong family. I saw that the inside and outside of the store were in a mess, and the ground was covered with blood. The bodies of several bandits and officers and soldiers are gone, and it is estimated that they have been taken away by the government. Qin Yanxuan didn't care about this, and hurriedly went upstairs to his room. I saw that the room was messy and empty. Qin Yuxuan hurriedly came to Yuan Naikuan's room again, and as soon as he entered the room, he put down his hanging heart.

I saw Guangde sitting close to Yuan Naikuan, leaning his head on Yuan Naikuan's shoulder, and Yuan Naikuan was comforting him with one hand. When they looked up and saw Qin Yuxuan walking in, their eyes widened, as if they didn't know each other. Guangde rubbed his eyes and said, "Third uncle, I'm not dreaming, right?" Yuan Naikuan also said in surprise: "Mr. Qin, how did you escape back?" ”

Qin Yixuan sat on the chair, and Yuan Naikuan hurriedly made tea. Yu Xuan recounted the story while drinking tea, and asked Yuan Naikuan again: "That bandit San Mazi said that he killed both of you, and I was about to faint, what's going on?" ”

Yuan Naikuan said: "After eating last night, the little bandit followed us out. As soon as I saw that something was wrong, I wanted to go out and report to the police. But the little bandit followed, and I couldn't get out. When he returned to the room, the little bandit followed. I was in a hurry, and suddenly I had an idea. Picked up the "Book of Songs" on the table and read: "Guan Guan turtledove, in the river island, fair girl, good gentleman". I deliberately mispronounced two words to test him, and who knew that he would not react after listening to it. I asked him if he understood what that meant, and he said, 'Isn't it just a neat (pretty) little girl feeding turtledoves?' I saw that he was talking nonsense. I asked him if he had ever studied, and he said no. As soon as I heard it, I taught him the meaning of the poem, which only made him laugh. I wrote the word 'human' on a piece of paper to test him, but he didn't know him. So I picked up my pen and wrote a few words on the title page of the Book of Songs: 'The disciple of the foot'. I wrote more vaguely, for fear that he had just deliberately pretended to be illiterate. After a while, I said that we were all right now, and that we should go downstairs to the shopkeeper to get some wine and drink, and by the way, return the boss's book to him. He said he was going to buy wine, and wouldn't let me go, so I gave him two taels of silver, and he went down with the book. After he called, the three of us sat down and drank. After a while, a gunshot was heard outside, and the little bandit threw the wine cup down. He also pulled out a firearm from behind and asked me to tie up Guangde, and then he tied me up with his own hands. Turned over all the money we had, even under the bed. In the end, he said to me: 'The seventh master originally asked me to insert the two of you, but you invited me to drink and taught me to read, which made the little master very happy. I will spare you today from death. Just then I heard a commotion in the streets. Turning his head through the window, he saw on the street, Boss Kong, leading many officers and soldiers to the inn. I knew that the plan had succeeded, and when I was secretly happy, a person suddenly burst out of the darkness, and it seemed that he had met the same person in the Yue Wang Temple. The man beat Boss Kong to death with a single firebolt, and then retreated to the inn as he did so. I heard the man outside shouting, 'The boy is coming, the wind is tight.' Then the little bandit ignored us and hurried downstairs. Later, I only heard the sound of fighting outside, and I wanted to run out to have a look, but my hands and feet were tied. After a while, the sound of the fight faded away. It was a long time before two officers and soldiers came and let us go. We think you must have let the bandits kidnap us, it seems that we will not die, and we will have a blessing. ”

Qin Yanxuan said: "This place is not a place to stay for a long time, brother, you better pack your luggage and hurry on the road, so as not to cause extraneous branches, delay the trip, and miss your big event." I also left for Nanyang immediately. ”

Yuan Naikuan smiled bitterly: "This place is far away from the mountains and rivers of North Korea, and now it is entangled and robbed by bandits, and there is no one left, how can I go to North Korea?" It's better to hurry home and raise some coils. Qin Yanxuan said: "Brother don't worry about entanglement, I have it here, give you some, there should be no problem when you arrive in North Korea." ”

Yuan Naikuan said: "We have all been robbed by bandits, where is Mr. still entangled?" Qin Yuxuan didn't speak, unscrewed the base of the hookah, took out a silver ticket from it and handed it to Yuan Naikuan: "Take this." ”

Yuan Naikuan took it and took a look, only to see that it was written "five hundred taels", and hurriedly excused himself: "When we meet in Pingshui, how dare you accept such a generous gift from Mr.?" Qin Yixuan was afraid that he would not accept it: "Even if I lend it to you, one day you will soar, but you will have to pay it back." Yuan Naikuan excused himself a few times and accepted it.

Yuan Naikuan said: "You and I met in Pingshui, and my brother was able to donate generously and donate a thousand gold, which made my brother and me really uneasy." If you have something to do with your brother, you can go to Beijing and find someone, and I will write you an address, and he can contact me. Yuan Naikuan said, picked up the pen, wrote an address on the paper, and handed it to Yu Xuan.

Qin Zhenxuan unfolded it, and saw that the note read: Hu Wenkui, the third household of Nanluogu Hutong, Dongzhimen, Beijing. Qin Yanxuan carefully put it away and put it in his sleeve. I heard Yuan Naikuan say again: "Brother, don't say that your brother has to make inches, although you and I have known each other for a short time, we are familiar at first sight." Now when I leave, I hope that my brother can write a poem to say goodbye. ”

Qin Yixuan said: "Okay, then you and my brother will each write a poem and give it to each other." Yuan Naikuan said: "The little brother is only a shallow learner, how dare he get an axe?" But since my brother said it, my brother is better to be respectful, and I hope my brother won't laugh. ”

The two of them each thought for a moment, and Qin Yixuan picked up the pen in his hand and waved it overnight. Yuan Naikuan saw that Xuan Xuan had finished writing, and also wrote a poem to give to Qin Xuan.

Qin Yixuan unfolded it and took a look, Yuan Naikuan wrote a poem of five uniques:

went to North Korea to give Qin Hengzhi a parting gift

Hongtu Taiping Town,

Jishi iron kettle hanging.

Meaning light gifts,

Meng tastes clean as an orchid.

The poem will say that Qin Yanxuan revitalized the ancestral industry, hung the pot to help the world, saved the Li people, and gave a thousand gold, just like the ancient Meng Weijun who was as anxious as people were in trouble, willing to give, and his temperament was as noble as the empty valley orchid. Qin Yanxuan secretly admired it in his heart, but humbly said that Yuan Nai's reputation was too great. Yuan Naikuan also opened the poem given to him by Qin Zhenxuan, and saw that it was a poem of seven laws:

Zhu Xianzhen parted and sent Shaoming to North Korea

Zhu Xian on poetry and writing,

Parson in Yuewu Temple.

went to North Korea only because of the difficulty of solving the state,

Serving the country is not a daughter.

Yangguan three-fold reward heroes,

Mountains and rivers thank you.

The east gate folds the willow to send you there,

Grass and tears.

Yuan Naikuan was like a treasure and praised again and again. The two packed their bags and went downstairs to the backyard stable, where they saw that several horses had no owners. Qin Yuxuan's "chrysanthemum green" was in the front yard, and Yuan Naikuan and Guangde each led a horse and walked out. At this time, Qin Zhenxuan suddenly saw Xiangzi hiding next to the stable, staring at the three of them with a pair of pitiful and helpless eyes. Qin Zhenxuan remembered that the owner of this inn was dead, and this little horse doctor didn't know how to live in the future, and secretly felt sorry for him in his heart.

Suddenly, Qin Yuxuan's heart moved, and he turned back to Yuan Naikuan and said, "Brother has something to ask for, and I hope my brother can help me with this." Yuan Naikuan said: "Why are you and my brother polite, my brother can only tell me if I have something." ”

Qin Yixuan said: "My second brother is over thirty years old and has no heirs, I see that this little pony died at such a young age, and the master is also dead now, which is very pitiful." It's better to take this child back to Taiping Town for me and make a righteous son for my second brother. Brother, you go all the way north, and Taiping Town is a place you must pass through, so I want to ask you to help with this. ”

Yuan Naikuan said: "It's better to kill three birds with one stone." I just don't know what this little pony wants? At that moment, the two asked Xiangzi, who was worried about his future livelihood. After hearing the words of the two, his face was happy, he nodded again and again, and quickly kowtowed to Qin Yixuan: "In the future, you will be my third uncle." I treat you like a father. He kowtowed to Yuan Naikuan again.

When the two of them saw that this child was so sensible and dexterous, and very pleasing to people's hearts, they nodded with satisfaction. Qin Zhenxuan said to Yuan Naikuan: "Brother, you will bring Guangde and Xiangzi back to Taiping Town, and I will rush to Nanyang "Zhongjingtang" to do some things. Guangde is still a child, and I was scared after this incident, so it is better to let him go home. ”

Qin Yixuan sent the three of them to the east gate of Zhuxian Town, said goodbye to Yuan Naikuan with tears, and watched a few people ride away gradually before turning their horses' heads and walking towards Nanyang. At this time, he no longer had the intention of rushing to the April 8th meeting in Zhuxian Town, nor did he have the intention of watching any more "Buddha Bathing Fasting Meeting".
