In winter, the bright water of the mountain is beautiful, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant in spring.

The warmer air, the ice-breaking water, the greener willow branches, the budding buds, these spring messengers came to Lingjiazhai in the northeast, dispelled the cold wind, and sent a warm breath!

Surrounded by the wind, the sun is warm, everything is vibrant, the spring rain is moist, and the orchid is fragrant.

"The spring of the red apricot branches is noisy", and the elves in nature are naturally not willing to be lonely, and express the silent and rich spring as if there is a sound. March, such a lively annual ring, the month of recovery, the way to interpret spring is also more exciting.

Lingjiazhai has also become gradually lively. Some of the men began to hunt for food in the mountains, others went down to the fields to start farming, the snow melted, and a nearby coal mine belonging to Lingjiazhai continued to supply the county seat in the distance.

The Ling family's compound was also full of joy, and the people who danced and danced every day were very happy.

In their spare time, everyone's entertainment is to practice martial arts with a few masters in the courtyard of the village. This is also a habit that has been cultivated for more than 20 years. Because the older generation of people know that Lingjiazhai, which now provides a comfortable life for hundreds of people, was defeated by force back then. Only with their own strength can they not be bullied by the strong gentry and bullies. Old Man Ling's status as the owner of the Ling family's village was also recommended by everyone twenty years ago, and he was willingly managed by the leaders of the Ling family. The old people's support for the Ling family often makes the young people curious, but when they heard the older generation tell the deeds of the old man Ling, they all admired and recited.

It was the summer of more than twenty years ago. Five blood-stained youths escorted a carriage to Yangliu Village near the village. The carriage was covered with a layer of soft grass, on which two unconscious young men lay lifeless, and a woman with a yellowed face but beautiful temperament sat on the side of the carriage with a child in her arms.

Leading the horse was a young man dressed in a blood-stained white robe, with a red cherry spear on his back, his tired face was indeed resolute, and he came to the entrance of the village and looked around vigilantly, on the other side of the horse was a leopard with ringed eyes, holding a long knife, with a bare upper body, and the gauze roughly bandaged on his chest oozed bright blood, and it could be seen that the wound was still bleeding. Behind the carriage were three young men with foreign guns on their backs, also wounded.

"Who are these?"

As soon as I entered the village, the villagers I saw stayed away, and some of them were running to tell each other. The leading white-clothed young man looked around at the frightened faces and said to everyone: "Don't be afraid, everyone, we came here from Mukden to visit relatives, but unexpectedly we met bandits on the mountain in front, my brother is seriously injured, can you give me a place to stay, we will leave after taking care of the injury, we will not cause you trouble." ”

"It's true that there are bandits on the mountain in front, but these are knives and guns, and there are rare firearms, how can they be relatives, and if they go to relatives, they won't wear out of the forest if they have provincial roads."

The crowd whispered in understanding.

"Please, everyone, my two older brothers are dying." The woman in the car got out of the car. The child in the arms of the inopportune person suddenly cried, the crying was intermittent, and it was also a little life that was about to die.

"Hey, no matter who you are, the child is innocent, I hope you don't do anything to hurt everyone, the old son was also killed by bandits in the mountains, and the daughter-in-law was humiliated to death, leaving only me and my poor granddaughter, there is still an empty room at home, you come with me." An old woman holding a little girl stood up and spoke.

"Come with me."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they suddenly saw hope and followed the steps of the old grandmother. In the crowd not far away, a lean young man's eyes lit up at the same time and left quickly.

Come to a dilapidated courtyard and push open the fence gate. "Yingzi, let's clean up your father's room first." The old man said reluctantly.

"Hmm. Come with me. ”

"Old man, is there a doctor or a pharmacy near here?"

"In this small village, there are only local doctors, and some of them are alive and have been caught by bandits on the mountain to treat them, you can go to the county seat to have a look. It's morning, if you're fast, you'll be back in the evening. , I'll go boil some water and cook something to eat first, if you just buy some food in the county seat, you really can't eat at home, the squire and bandits collude, and the squeezing can't survive. ”

"Okay, I'll go now, third child, can you still do it, you go with me."

"No problem, second brother."

"That's okay, you change your clothes, I'll also change my clothes and set off, old wolf, Tie Ying, Xiao Qi, you stay and Yingying take care of the two of them, and then take a good rest."

As he spoke, he and the third child went to change clothes, these two people were none other than the two brothers Ling Feihu and Ling Feibao. It is true that they were not robbed by bandits, but fled all the way from the gate to here.

The two killed the Russians that year, and then defected to the Boxers and participated in the defense of the country against foreign enemies. The Eight-Nation Alliance entered the customs and hit his hometown, the Li family reported the Ling family's Qian family, and the foreigners, who were worried about the lack of reason, took the opportunity to hype up and join the army strongly, and the two families were all captured by their opponents, and Ling Feilong was even more in the confrontation, and he was killed by several shots. The Li family used this as bait to make a move for the foreigners and let them go.

"The Qian family of the Ling family brutalized foreign envoys, undermined the stability of the country, and beheaded them all over the house on a certain day."

Ling Feihu Ling Feibao can still hide, as soon as he responds, the Boxer warriors of the hundred and tenth went to the rescue, but as soon as they entered the city, they were ambushed by foreigners, and a round of musket shooting left the lives of the forty or fifty brothers. The white-knuckle battle is even more miserable, relying on how many people are people who practice martial arts, Chinese martial arts are broad and profound, and there are more than a dozen people who have fought their way out of hundreds of foreigners.

The foreigners are still continuing to advance towards the pass, leaving only a small part of them and they are still so fierce, everyone discussed it for a while, and they must face a front and back attack when they go to the pass. Simply break into the Kanto region and go outside the gate.

Without delay, he picked up Qian Yingying, who was already pregnant, and rushed to the gate. Ling Feihu was brave and strategic, and everyone had no objections, and they also rushed to the Kanto region together. So under the pursuit of hundreds of foreigners, he fled to the northeast. In order to put pressure on the Qing government, tens of thousands of people were also on their way. The original plan was to go east to Fengtian and then to the Songhua River, but after getting the news, it could only be temporarily changed to go north to Inner Mongolia and cross the mountains and mountains to Jilin.

Constantly fleeing, but also facing harassment by wild beasts in the mountains. During this period, Qian Yingying produced and let the pursuers catch up. A few more brothers died. In the mountains and mountains, the pursuing foreigners were finally shaken off. However, many brothers left one after another because of wound infections, during which they ran out of food and horses were killed one after another. Finally got out of the mountains and forests, the two brothers also fell into a coma because of the wound infection, bought a carriage at a high price on the road, and looked for a family, Yangliu Village is the first village in addition to the mountain......

A few people carried the unconscious brother into the house, and the flying tiger and flying leopard, who had changed their clothes, patted the shoulder of the brother who was left behind, you guys have a good rest first, and wait for us to come back...... As he spoke, he drove the carriage outside and ran towards the county seat according to the old man's direction......

But who knows, the few people who thought they saw hope have become isolated from life and death here......
