Chapter 71 Ten years of sharpening a sword

Ziwei and Feng'er didn't want to be troubled, and urged Uncle Li Bu to leave the bazaar.

Uncle Li's home is not too far from the town, about three or four miles away. A few earthen houses, with four walls.

Uncle Li Bu let the guests into the house and told the children to boil some tea.

Ziwei asked, "What happened to Brother Li's family, to the point of betraying the child?"

Uncle Li Bu sighed sadly and said, "It's hard to say. ”

Ziwei said: "Brother Li has something to say, let's see if we can help you resolve one or two." ”

Uncle Li Bu said, "Everyone, please sit down and listen to me slowly." ”

Feng'er and they each found a stool to sit on, and Uncle Li Bu began to narrate.

Ten years of sharpening a sword,

Frostblade has not been tried.

Today I will show you,

Who has grievances?

This is the "Swordsman" poem of Jia Island in the Tang Dynasty, which is very suitable for Uncle Li Bu.

The Li family was also a wealthy family in the past, although the ancestors had never been officials, relying on the diligence and thrift of the past dynasties, they also accumulated a large family business. Liangtian Guangyuan, rich on the first side.

Uncle Li Bu's grandfather knew how to use medicine, and when he was young, he went to an unnamed mountain to collect medicine, encountered heavy rain in the sky, had no rain gear, and was worried that he had nowhere to hide. The entrance of the cave is just enough to accommodate people, and I don't want to have a cave inside, which is the size of three or four houses. Uncle Li Bu's grandfather walked in and saw a skeleton sitting on the stone case, covered with cobwebs, I don't know if he was a monk or a Taoist before his death, and I don't know what year it was sitting. Next to the skeleton was a long sword, which was already covered with dust. Uncle Li Bu's grandfather walked over and picked up the long sword, brushed away the dust, and saw the word "Longxiang" carved on the hilt of the sword. The sword was drawn out of its sheath, and the cold light flashed, knowing that it was a sword. After a moment of rain, Uncle Li Bu's grandfather bowed to the bones and went down the mountain with his sword.

After arriving home, Uncle Li Bu's grandfather hung the sword in the secret room, and from time to time took it over to wipe and play. This sword is as sharp as clay, and it is truly a rare treasure.

Uncle Li Bu's grandfather searched all the books, but he couldn't find out the origin of this sword, but he found out from a booklet that this sword should be a pair of mandarin duck swords, and there is also a name: "Phoenix Dance". Uncle Li Bu's grandfather went up the mountain again, and wanted to see if he could find another sword in the cave, but he couldn't find the entrance to the cave. I went five or six times, but I never found the entrance to the cave. This Longxiang sword has since become the treasure of the town, and Uncle Li Bu's grandfather has lost his mind, and since then he rarely goes out to collect medicine, and plays with the sword all day long.

When he arrived at Uncle Li Bu's father, he didn't just play with swords, he began to dance swords and sticks, and learned some skills and feet. Usually make friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes, often call friends to compare fists and feet swordsmanship, what medical skills and farm work are completely disregarded, and the family road is gradually declining.

There are many heroes in the Li family, and it is finally Uncle Li's turn to make his debut. Since he was a child, Uncle Li Bu naturally doesn't love poetry, books and knives. Since I was a child, I have loved to listen to chivalrous stories, respect the actions of those heroes in the green forest, and am determined to do chivalrous and righteous deeds. After all, the real society is different from stories and legends, it is not okay to kill people, it is not okay to hurt people, there is an official government, and no one can do whatever they want.

Uncle Li Bu has the lofty ideal of being chivalrous and righteous, and dares to meddle in things. Lu roared when he saw injustice, and he shot when it was time to shoot. With the sword in hand, he almost never dared to unsheath it. Even so, there was no shortage of lawsuits. A wicked person is a wicked person, and if you walk around him, he wants to slander you, not to mention that if you beat him, you can't count whether there is anything wrong with him, and you have to pay a lot of silver. Therefore, in the case of having an official government, it is indeed not a simple matter to want to be chivalrous and righteous, unless you occupy the mountain as the king and make a vigorous scene, and the officers and soldiers have nothing to do with you, you can have the power of life and death, and you can not be responsible for your own actions.

Uncle Li Bu is not very old, in his thirties. The chivalrous man lost his cattle, his horses, and all his land. But his original intention has not changed, and he is still doing chivalrous deeds. Slowly, the house was also clean, everything that could be sold was sold, and I lived in a dilapidated old house, and food and clothing became a problem. My wife was sick and had no money for treatment, so I didn't have to work for another year and left the country.

There are only two people left in the family, he and his son, and after eating, Uncle Li Bu made it difficult. If this continues, his son will starve to death sooner or later, and his chivalrous career still has a long way to go, and it has become an urgent need to find a way for the child to live. Although his son Li Yitong is young, he is still sensible, seeing that the family is so broken, his father has no hesitation for the sake of his faith, and he is dragging him down and not being able to eat a full meal, so he can't bear it, so he begs his father to sell him first, and then come back to pick up his father to enjoy happiness when he grows up.

Uncle Li is helpless so far, he wanders outside every day, and there is no one to take care of the child at home, so it is not good that he will go to prison or be killed by the enemy one day, and the child may starve to death at home. It's better to find him a home as soon as possible, which can be regarded as leaving a seedling for the Li family.

Uncle Li Bu had a bad temper, he was bullied by the ruffian old man in the market just now, and he gritted his teeth and endured it because he was worried about the safety of his son. Now he understands a truth, with his meager strength, he can't change this society at all, no matter how he fights, he won't beat the bad guys into good guys, there are too many wicked people who should be killed, like cutting leeks, they are also wicked people in large numbers.

Uncle Li Bu babbled for a long time, and Ziwei and Feng'er finally understood. The man in front of him has gone bankrupt in his persistent pursuit for the sake of his original beliefs, and he has not changed his original intention, so he has to be admired, but this approach is too extreme. "They all see success or failure with the naked eye, who knows the handsome man from the dust. "Those who can walk the same path from morning to night are real heroes.

The child Li Yitong boiled the tea and put it in front of everyone one by one.

Ziwei clenched his fists and said: "I can't imagine that Brother Li is so persistent, it's really admirable! We are passing through your place in Beijing, and we happen to lack a scholar, if Brother Li doesn't dislike it, let this child go with me, and let him come back when he is a little older, how about your father and son reunite?"

Uncle Li Bu said: "My situation is known to my son, and I don't hide it from my son, the child is at home by himself, I really can't rest assured, I am worried that someone will seek revenge and hurt him." If Childe is not too cumbersome, take him away, I won't ask for silver. ”

Ziwei said: "We have to do what we say, Brother Li is so down-and-out, don't be so particular." ”

Ziwei asked Liang Fu to take out thirty taels of silver from his backpack and hand it to Uncle Li Bu, but Uncle Li Bu insisted on refusing.

The two of you pushed me to let me, and a group of people came around the door. Uncle Li Bu reached out to touch the sword, and Ah Niu suddenly stood up.

One of the descendants shouted, "Who is Uncle Li?"

Uncle Li Bu was called Uncle Li, and stepped out of the house with a sword in his hand.

"I, Uncle Li, I don't know who you are, why are you shouting here?"

Hou Sheng said: "I, Zhao Liuzi. Tian San, who collects taxes on Qing'an, is my godfather. You know the trouble you caused, and today let you know that the three eyes of the prince are three!"

Uncle Li Bu sneered: "I, Uncle Li Bu, am a chivalrous warrior to eliminate violence and peace, and I am worried that I can't find a wicked person to practice swords, see if your neck is hard, or my sword is hard!"

Zhao Liuzi shouted: "Give it to me!"
