Chapter 7: Blessings and Misfortunes
The moon is dark and the wind is high, the cool breeze is biting, and the cold light is sprinkled on a wasteland.
Lin Yu was in a coma for a long time before he slowly woke up.
Before he could look around, a sharp pain in his head made him sweat instantly.
But fortunately, someone has already helped to bandage the injured area.
At this moment, Jia Shi and Mei Xiang were sitting next to Lin Yu intently, staring at Lin Yu, he struggled for a moment and slowly sat up.
Jia Shi hurriedly supported him and said in surprise: "Cousin, you finally woke up." ”
When Lin Yu heard this, he turned his head and saw Yan Qing walking over with a majestic man with a happy face.
I saw that the big man was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a golden iron helmet with golden hair, a large and small red tassel on the top, a pair of iron armor with chain chains, a robe embroidered with clouds and clouds, a slanted leather inlaid cloud heel boots, a red stud to fold the belt, a bow, a pot of arrows, riding a silver curly horse, and a wind-splashing knife.
"Brother, it's all because I didn't notice it, and it affected my brother." Yan Qing walked in front of Lin Yu and knelt down directly.
Seeing this, Lin Yu immediately grabbed Yan Qing and comforted: "If you don't do my brother's business, I deserve to suffer this ordeal." As the saying goes, 'people can't make a tool if they don't grind'. Besides, we didn't make it through. ”
"By the way, who is this good man?" Lin Yu turned his head to look at the majestic man.
He remembered that someone had come to his rescue before he fell unconscious, and it must have been this person.
Yan Qing hurriedly pulled the big man over and said gratefully: "Brother, this good man's surname is Dong Mingcheng, he is from Lingchuan, Hebei, he killed two bullies because he saved his father, and he was hunted down by the government and passed through here. Seeing that his brother was desperate to save others, he rescued his brother. ”
Splashing wind knife Dong Cheng!
This is the top master under Tian Hu in the Water Margin!
Lin Yu was surprised and delighted.
Dong Cheng was originally a military general under Tian Hu in the Water Margin, and he was famous for his ability to splash wind knives, and later when Liangshan exterminated Tian Hu's forces, Lingchuan was occupied by the Song army, so he hurriedly went to war.
Before the battle, Zhu Tong fought more than a dozen times and then Hua Rong more than 30 times without winning or losing, and Shen Ji went into battle to attack, Hua Rong returned to the horse and left, the two generals chased after him, Hua Rong turned back, and the two sides fought again.
At this time, Lingchuan was occupied by the Song army, and Dong Cheng heard the shout from the drawbridge to hurry back to the city, but was killed by Hua Rong with an arrow in the back.
In Lin Yu's impression, Dong Cheng's biggest advantages are two: first, he has high force and belongs to the top group of people in the Water Margin; Second, to be righteous and faithful.
Lin Yu stood up, bowed down and said, "Thank you Brother Dong Cheng for coming to the rescue." ”
"Brother Lin is polite!" Dong Chenglang laughed.
"In fact, when Brother Lin and Sister Ling first arrived, the Sprinkle family rested on the other side of the stone. I was going to come out to help at the beginning, but I overheard the conversation between you and Sister Ling, and the Sprinkle family wanted to see if you would really give up your life for a woman, and it turned out that you were really a man who stood up to the sky, and the Sprinkle family admired! ”
If you had known, you would have been reckless.
But then again, the pain all over his body in exchange for Dong Cheng's respect is worth it!
While chatting with Dong Cheng, Lin Yu casually glanced at Yan Qing, and saw that Yan Qing was shaking her head slightly, so she was relieved.
It seems that Yan Qing only said that her surname was Lin, and did not reveal her name.
After all, the nickname Yao Jinxia means a lot of money.
Yan Qing had already prepared a meal, and several people were chatting while eating and drinking, Lin Yu said some hot topics from time to time, and the more he chatted with Dong Cheng, the more speculative he became.
Lin Yu took the opportunity to invite Dong Cheng to accompany him.
Dong Cheng excused himself and said that he was a wanted criminal, and if he went with him, he was afraid that he would cause trouble to several people.
Only then did Lin Yu say that he was also wanted.
Dong Cheng asked the reason, but Lin Yu only said that he was killing someone for his sister, so Dong Cheng stopped answering the question.
After eating dinner and cleaning up briefly, Lin Yu continued to tell Yan Qing and a few people the story of Journey to the West, Dong Cheng didn't understand it at first, but the more he listened, the more wonderful he felt, and praised Lin Yu from time to time for being really knowledgeable.
Yan Qing sat next to Mei Xiang and chatted a few words from time to time.
With Dong Cheng's joining, the safety along the way is more guaranteed.
When it was nearly noon, Lin Yu and his party saw a hotel opening on the side of the road after passing through a forest.
After a long journey, several people were already hungry and thirsty, so they could take a rest here.
A few people found a place to tie the horses.
Before the wax moon came out, there was not a single guest in the hotel, only a woman cooking by the stove.
When the woman saw so many guests coming at once, she immediately put on a smile and greeted her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat."
Lin Yu sat down at two tables, and he said to the woman: "Sister-in-law, I am hungry and thirsty, if you have good wine and good meat, you will be repaid for the wine." ”
The woman hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Guest officer, sit down for a while, and it will be fine immediately!" ”
While talking, two more people walked in from outside the store, Lin Yu heard the sound and looked, and saw that the two of them had big shoulders and round waists, and their instruments were extraordinary.
One of them was surprised and delighted to see so many customers coming to the store, and said with a smile: "Lady, the store is open today!" Do you have enough food to eat? ”
I saw that the lady hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the man who was talking aside, and whispered: "Xianggong, these people are so good-looking, the guest officer wearing the mask seems to be the most wanted criminal in the government in the past few days, isn't it that we have met a strongman?" ”
The man frowned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu saw the change in their expressions and knew that they had found some clues.
In order to dispel the doubts of the two, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, two! They are all their own brothers. ”
"You...... Come in with me! ”
The big man hurriedly stepped forward to grab Lin Yu and led him to the backyard of the hotel.
There were several thatched huts in the backyard of the hotel, Yan Qing stayed in the front hall to protect Jia and Mei Xiang, and Dong Cheng followed in the back into the main house.
"Why do you wear a mask like the wanted Dawn Warrior? It's either you or the .......," the big man asked nervously.
Lin Yu chuckled in his heart when he heard this: Doesn't this person recognize me?
But immediately calmed down, once it came, it was safe, it was better to see each other with its true face, see this person's reaction and then decide the next plan, anyway, there are masters around you, don't be afraid.
So he slowly took off the mask on his face, and said with a smile: "What you said is right, I am the most wanted criminal Lin Yu by the government!" ”
"Oops! It's you! Lin Yu thought that this person would send him to the official after reporting his name, but he didn't think that the person patted his shoulder happily and said, "I heard that you killed that Li Gu in anger in order to save your younger brother and sister, and I haven't been able to believe it." Later, when I saw the government's sea fishing documents, I dared to be sure. That guy is unjust, kill well! The brother is really a bloody man. ”
Hearing Dahan's words, Dong Cheng almost dropped his jaw in shock, and looked at Lin Yu incredulously: "It turns out that you are the Yao Jinxia Lin Yu!" I've always wanted to visit, but I don't want to see each other, and I don't want heroes to be around! ”
"Brother Dong Cheng, forgive me, after all, my head is worth 10,000 taels of gold, so naturally I have to hide it tightly." Lin Yu laughed self-deprecatingly.
Several people exchanged names and surnames at the moment, it turned out that this big man was the famous hero Cao Zheng in the Water Margin, because he was very good at slaughtering livestock, known as the knife ghost, he had done business for the rich man in Shandong, and he lost all his capital and could not return to his hometown, so he joined a farmer's house here as a son-in-law and opened a hotel to live.
Several people felt like-minded, so they put wine in the inn and talked.
"Brother, since you killed that Li Gu and were wanted, I have inquired about the whereabouts of you and Lu Yuanwai in many ways, but there has been no news of you, where is he now?" The big man asked anxiously and apprehensively.
He was afraid that Lin Yu would say some bad news, but he was eager to know.
"The staff has now been assigned to Salmon Island, and several of us are going to look for him on this trip." Lin Yu looked at Cao Zheng's concerned eyes and was very relieved.
Cao Zheng respects and admires Lu Junyi and Lin Yu as always.
Cao Zheng was about to ask again, but he saw a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard. His face changed sharply, and he hurriedly whispered: "Brother Lin, quickly put on a mask!" ”
When Lin Yu heard this, he put on his mask again.
Seeing that it was his brother-in-law Li Chun who walked in, Cao Zheng stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Chun whispered, "Brother-in-law, eldest sister asked me to ask you." How are these guests entertained? ”
Cao Zheng's wife didn't know what the relationship between the customers in the store and Cao Zheng was, so she couldn't rest assured, so she asked her younger brother to come over to find out the situation.
Cao Zheng said: "Take out all the wine and meat prepared in the store for the Lantern Festival to entertain distinguished guests." If it's not enough, go to the village and buy it. ”
Hearing Cao Zheng's words, Li Chun probably understood in his heart, and turned around to go to the front store to reply to his sister with a smile.
Cao Zheng turned around and said to everyone: "This is my brother-in-law, named Li Chun, who is quite kind. ”
Dong Cheng sneered when he heard this: "Since you are a pure person, why do you avoid him?" Can't you even trust your own people? ”
Obviously, Dong Cheng was a little disdainful of Cao Zheng's behavior of letting Lin Yu continue to hide his identity in front of his family.
Cao Zheng was not angry, and said with a smile: "My Hun family and my wife and brother are all Zhuang farmers, and they can't hide big things. It's better to hide it from them first. ”
Lin Yu nodded, indicating understanding.
Cao Zheng's wife was steaming and stir-frying, and soon the table was full of good wine and meat.
Cao Zheng beckoned a few people to sit down, and began to push the glasses and change the glasses, and the wine was happy.
A few people were eating and drinking, and suddenly heard a smashing sound from the front store, and then saw Li Chun rushing in in a panic.
"Brother-in-law, it's not good! A mad monk came in front, clamoring for wine and meat. When I told him that the store was not welcoming customers today, he smashed it and injured several customers. ”
