Chapter 4: The Escape of Autumn Born (I)

"The sunset is over, the west wind is tight, the cold forest is howling, how can you stay in Haohong Bird? After the people go, the moon shadow is cloudy, and the Guanshan Wei and Wei are wandering. If you put your heart into the sunset, the cold moon has a spirit to steal your heart. Singing lightly, the tears of the pedestrians, and the song and water are forgotten. ”

It is said that after Li Qiusheng turned around and left, Dong Yanzhi was like a lonely goose flying miserably in the sky outside the woods, and there was a special coldness that cold birds did not enter the forest.

Although she was helpless, she couldn't speak, she couldn't speak, she couldn't speak, and she couldn't complain, Dong Yanzhi didn't dare to be nostalgic for this land of right and wrong. She turned around and pulled Yahuan all the way to Du Mansion, which was 100 meters away.

After Li Qiusheng ran into the woods, he trotted for a while before stopping, and walked all the way south.

Because it is the first time I came to the capital, I am not familiar with the place and rarely interact with people. Although Li Qiusheng grabbed Mrs. Lei alone and committed a reckless act that made a big mistake and did not help, it was too late.

But Li Qiusheng was alone after all, and after a lot of retouching and dressing, it would be difficult for the officials assigned by Lord Feng of the county government to follow the map for a while and a half, and capture a Li Qiusheng who didn't even know the reason for Mrs. Lei.

The so-called sky is high and birds fly, and the sea is wide and fish jump. Li Qiusheng did not enter the vast mountains and rivers and dense forests at this time, so he was naturally flying birds and swimming in the sea.

I have the experience of going all the way north to find the capital, and it is naturally much easier to go through the experience of fleeing south.

Li Qiusheng had already planned this route to the south in his heart, even if he encountered a few intersections on the way, with his means of changing his appearance as a ruffian, it would not be difficult to fool the past. It's bitter, it's hard to be that gang, and the officials who are still searching for his whereabouts in the capital.

Han Gongzi didn't dare to say that he had crossed paths with Li Qiusheng, and it was impossible for Han Gongzi to be stupid enough to throw himself into the prison of Lei Mansion. Besides, I have had so many intersections with Lei Mansion, new hatred and old hatred, people have long been waiting for you. If you come back to cause trouble, you will be seeking your own death and resenting others. If you provoke wisely, then the avenue will go to both sides, each side of the road, and no one will get in the way.

Although Han Gongzi was in the tea shop when he rescued Li Qiusheng at that time, but people come to live in the capital, and guests go to the capital, who has so many heart-to-heart letters of a person who has nothing to do with it.

Who is guilty of denunciating a person who does not even know himself, although there are always those villains in the world who are greedy for convenience, and there will be brave men under the reward. But you can't chase the wind and catch shadows and recognize people indiscriminately, people are prisoners in the Vice Prime Minister Lei Mansion, that's not easy to mess with, I'm afraid that even my own Qing family's life will be put into it.

Therefore, even if the shopkeeper who rescued Li Qiusheng that day went out in person, it seems that he would not dare to say that he recognized Li Qiusheng. And then there are those inns that have received Li Qiusheng's stay, and they can guess that there is no shopkeeper who is full of food and support, and goes to the government to report that a pilgrim who is related to the past but has nothing to do with the painting and graphics has landed in his inn.

Therefore, Li Qiusheng is now dressed as a street ruffian, and he happily returns to the south with the merchants who come and go from the south to the north.

A few days later, Li Qiusheng walked all the way on the path to the south, and he didn't know what the name of this place was.

Anyway, it is a paradise where the green mountains and green waters reflect the delicate face, the floating clouds dance and bend over, and it is a paradise full of spring in the world.

Walking on the path between the two mountains, there is a feeling of fascination.

Suddenly, an old Confucian woman rushed out from behind the big pine tree on the side of the path, and fell in front of Li Qiusheng with blood.

is like a one-eyed tiger with a hanging forehead, opening its teeth and dancing its claws, which naturally frightened Li Qiusheng a lot, and his heart couldn't stop jumping on the ground.

Li Qiusheng was not saved, and he saw that there was no one around, he was in a mountain stream path, the barren forest was dense, and jackals, tigers and leopards often came and went.

The old Confucian woman was in danger, so she had to be ruthless, and regardless of whether she was guilty or not, she picked up the stunned old Confucian woman and rushed to the small village pile at the bottom of the mountain.

The old Confucian woman looked dead, her face was embarrassed, and she changed greatly, trembling and drowning her body as if she was unwilling to move forward.

Li Qiusheng was puzzled, and asked the old Confucian woman hesitantly: Why are you so afraid to go to the small village pile under the book?

The old Confucian woman's body trembled like a lion, and she said in a trembling voice: "The village has been plundered by bandits, but fortunately, the clansmen sacrificed their lives to save them, and the old Confucian could flee for his life, otherwise he would have been a ghost under the knife of the bandits." If the little brother helps the old man go back at this time, he will be killed. ”

Li Qiusheng felt a lot of hatred in his heart when he heard this, and said angrily: "The thief and courtier who killed the heavens, why is there no way to kill like this? Even if it is not, what does it have to do with the common people? Self-inflicted evil ears. ”

But there is no way to come out for a while, and the person is weak. I had to clean and bandage the bleeding wounds of the old Confucian woman in the mountain stream on the side of the road, and found some common Daocang herbs in the blue and white embroidery building on the mountain, crushed and smeared them on the swollen wounds of the old Confucian woman.

Everything was cleaned up, and Li Qiusheng found a shady resting place in the mountain stream, and temporarily lived here for the old Confucian woman. After flipping through the instructions, he hid alone to the small village pile at the bottom of the mountain.

When the sky was getting dark and the lights were dim, Li Qiusheng cautiously touched the center of the small village pile.

But seeing that at this time, the small village pile was already shaking with torches, and the voice of the people was wowo, and the thieves were guarding the main road in and out of the village pile with a single blade. In the center of the village, there was a sound of babbling and barking, mixed with the crying and screaming of women and children, and the sound of thieves drinking and laughing.

Li Qiusheng slowly sneaked into the village through the darkness of the night, and on the circle of the middle table, a fierce man with a big beard raised his glass and said to one of the men.

"Big brother, it's worth the money to loot Changxia Village today. Look at the abundant food and beautiful women in the cangchu, which is the ultimate goal of our pretentious deeds. But big brother, the men in this village are also one by one, and during the robbery, they also hurt the lives of our brothers, you think it's better to deal with them. ”

The man in the middle cloaked glanced at the long-bearded man who was talking in front of him and replied.

"Second child, don't talk about this. Our brothers are all people who make a living from the knife, and there is no tomorrow today, so just drink and have fun tonight. Why bother with your own heart. ”

"Yes, yes, Big Brother is right. I'll just order the brothers to take turns to be happy, so as not to say that we are not generous and biased when we are big brothers. The bearded man spoke again.

"Well, second brother, if you want to get this order, the brothers won't say anything, tell them to distribute the village property when tomorrow dawns." The man in the middle seemed to admire.

"Ah, big brother, according to the report of the spy stupid cat, this time the men and women of Changxia Village also escaped several times, but I am afraid that as soon as they report to the official, we will not be here for long." The long-bearded man suddenly said in frustration, his expression a little lonely.

"Ha, ha, second, you're so worried. Have you forgotten? In this radius of 100 miles, that official dares to slap our face and block our way. Didn't the king send a large army to encircle and suppress us last time? As a result, it was not that the bamboo basket was empty, and it retreated, and in the end, it was not over. ”

The man at the head laughed for a while, and then said unashamedly. It's as if he doesn't take these evil people seriously at all.

Li Qiusheng listened to it in the dark, and he really couldn't imagine that the forest in this world was big, and there were really all kinds of birds.

Thinking about his little bit of robbing people and seeking peace, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. But why did he provoke so many pursuers to block and intercept the front? He couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Li Qiusheng compared the results in the blink of an eye, thinking about slowly hiding the old Confucian woman's house to find some food, and then hiding back to the mountain stream.

At this time, he had already been kicked by someone else in the back, and with a loud scream, Li Qiusheng floated to the center of the field like a leaf shaken off by the autumn wind.

Among them, the two men on the table were shocked, and looked at Li Qiusheng who fell to the ground in amazement, their eyes flashing like lightning, sharp and cold.

After the two men were stunned for a while, Huo Di stood up and walked in front of Li Qiusheng, looking left and right. It seems that he can't understand how people silently hide under their noses.

Li Qiusheng fell to the ground like a fallen leaf for a while, trying to struggle to get up. Suddenly, I felt that my five organs and six lungs were shaken violently, and my blood was rolling, and I actually spit out a mouthful of blood with a 'wow'.

The man at the head raised his eyes and looked at Li Qiusheng and said directly. "Miss, you're working hard again, people are kicking you to death, can you still ask a fart?"

"Heh, huh, huh? This kid is so useless? I thought the person who could sneak so close and eavesdrop on your conversation must be amazing, but I didn't expect it to be a useless bud. ”

A woman's crisp and clean voice suddenly came from behind Li Qiusheng and said, with a bit of neatness and majesty in her tone.

Suddenly, a girl in black had jumped out of the low wall where Li Qiusheng was hiding just now, and stood directly in front of the two men in charge.

The two men in front of the head took advantage of the situation and bowed, and said: "The subordinates see the eldest lady, please be lenient to the mistakes of the subordinates." ”

The girl in black didn't say anything, she immediately turned around, and her eyes swept over Li Qiusheng's painful face before she said unhurriedly.

"Forget it, you stinky men are all bear-like, and you get carried away when you get stuck. I estimate that you are so drunk that you can't even remember who Lao Tzu is at this time, so what is the point of punishing you. Stand down, it's okay this time, this kid is a grass bud. If you meet a powerful character, I'm afraid that your two lives will report to Lord Yama early. ”

"The eldest lady has learned a lesson, and the subordinates have remembered it."

The two men at the head said in unison, and stepped aside one after another, silent.

Li Qiusheng tried to stand up again, supporting his body twisted by pain with both hands, and staring at the black-clothed girl in front of him with resentment and viciousness.

The black-clothed girl took a few steps back and forth in front of Li Qiusheng, and reprimanded sharply in an indifferent tone.

"Boy, who are you? What for? What is the purpose of sneaking around for so long? ”

Li Qiusheng finally stood up from the ground with difficulty, wiped a handful of residual blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at the girl in black with angry eyes and said.

"I am Li Qiusheng, passing by here, I happened to meet a fugitive old Confucian woman asking for help. In order to find out the news in the village, I hid here, and was about to find some food and leave, but you kicked him away. ”

"Oh, heh, it's like doing good. Boy, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid who was fooled by you? ”

The girl in black said with a miserable smile, and it seemed that she didn't believe what Li Qiusheng said at all.

"Believe it or not, I don't have time to deal with you. Lady thief, let me go, there is an old Confucian woman waiting for me to treat on the mountain. ”

Li Qiusheng put on his ruffian spirit and said fearlessly, and he seemed a little heroic for a while.

"Ouch, boy, I can't see it. You're quite chivalrous. It's a pity that the mud bodhisattva himself is in trouble when he crosses the river, and it is really rare to save people in his heart. But it's a pity, it's a pity! Your kid is dying, and this lie isn't very clever. ”

The girl in black said lukewarmly sarcastically, she knew that what Li Qiusheng actually said was the truth.

It's like a person who is used to being a thief and says to a person who is used to being a soldier that he is a good man.

If you can't explain it clearly, you have to keep cutting it, and you have to make it messy.
