Chapter 47: Ma Er is blind
Early in the morning of the second day, the sky that had been cloudy for several days finally cleared, and the morning glow reflected the peaks and floods of Haolianzhai for thousands of miles. People who were about to get moldy left their houses to dry their clothes, bedding, and firewood, and some people gathered in groups to hurry out and look for something to fill their stomachs when the weather was good.
Uncle Ma also took the newly moved Gao Sanhu, Shengzi and Daifuku out to dig bamboo shoots, wild vegetables and mushrooms to collect venom.
Gao Dahu helped the six people in Zhaojiawan tidy up the house in the backyard, Gao Erhu walked around the courtyards to inquire about the news, and Shen Ge stayed in the east courtyard.
Fang's and Lin Ruyu's mother and daughter used the little corn left, plus wild vegetables, bamboo shoots and other vegetables to make breakfast, and smoke also came out of the chimneys in the backyard and west courtyard of the temple.
Because of the sunshine, the Guanyin Temple this morning is very peaceful.
"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Courage is spirit. Spiritual qigong is the foundation of a person who practices martial arts, and the hand, eye, body, and steps are the appearance. The foundation is not solid, and no matter how good the body steps are, they are empty shelves. ”
Shen Shangzhi, who was lying on the couch basking in the sun to recuperate from his injuries, was instructing Shen Ge and Xiao Ah Heng to take a horse step, "You have stabilized the horse step, and then practice friction steps and exert force." Goer's center of gravity sank again, and his upper body straightened; Ah Heng is okay, get up and rest. ”
Little Ah Heng, whose little face was flushed and his legs were trembling, responded crisply, "Uncle, Ah Heng can still hold on for a while, no need to rest." ”
It's good for a five-year-old to have such perseverance. Shen Shangzhi gently persuaded, "Good boy, practicing martial arts pays attention to relaxation. Get up and shake your legs first, rest for a stick of incense and then practice. ”
"Okay."
Xiao Ah Heng wanted to stand up, but he didn't want his legs to be weak, so he sat down on the ground directly, he subconsciously looked at the kitchen, and saw his mother and sister smiling at him, so he also grinned, turned around and smiled at Shen Shang.
"It's cold on the ground, get up." Shen Shangzhi asked Lin Ruyu to pull Ah Heng up, and then turned his eyes to look at Shen Ge.
Although his left arm was injured, Shen Ge's horse was very steady, and it could be seen that his basic skills were very solid, and Shen Shang looked at his back, which was very similar to his eldest son, and looked a little dazed.
Although he knew that it was impossible, Shen Shangzhi still felt that Shen Ge was his grandson Shen Yanyi, who had been lost for many years.
Shen Shangzhi's gaze fell on Shen Ge's calf, will the birthmark brought out of the mother's womb disappear?
Lin Ruyu, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, looked at Shen Shangzhi, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that her mother was right, even if this old man was in bed to recuperate, even if he was full of worries, he still had the momentum of a superior on his body.
The possibility that he is Wu Anhou is very high.
"You don't fucking open your eyes to see who Lao Tzu is! I don't care about you! There was a loud cheer from outside the hospital, followed by the sound of fighting.
"Someone has entered the temple, mother, Shen Ge, let's carry our uncle to the house." Lin Ruyu immediately stood up, joined forces with Shen Ge and Fang's family, carried Shen Shangzhi back to the hall, and asked Xiao Ah Heng to stay in the house and not come out, and then the three of them held swords in their hands and guarded the east and west walls and the courtyard gate.
"Knock, knock!" The knock on the door sounded rhythmically, and Gao Erhu's frightened voice came in, "It's me, Erhu, open the door quickly." ”
Shen Ge, who was guarding the door, opened the bolt with his sword, and Gao Erhu immediately squeezed in, closed the courtyard door and leaned against the door panel, patting his heart and looking at Shen Ge with expectation, "Ma Er's blind man broke in with someone, Brother Shen is quite familiar with him, right?" He's not going to get along with us, is he? ”
Shen Ge had only heard of the blind man of Ma Er, and had never dealt with him, but he was not flustered and asked calmly, "How many people did he bring?" ”
"There are a large group of them, to say the least, there are more than a dozen, carrying sticks and machetes in their hands." Before the flood, Gao Erhu, who farmed and fished, was very afraid of the ruffians who did all kinds of evil in Hao Lianzhai.
At present, the enemy is outnumbered, if Ma Er is allowed to rush in, Mrs. Lin and Ruyu will be in danger, and Old Man Shen will not be able to hide. Shen Ge immediately decided, "Ma Er's blind man will definitely live in the backyard, and the second brother will call your brother and Zhaojiawan's people over." Don't panic, they're here to survive, not to kill people and set fires. ”
"I ...... Okay......" Gao Erhu swallowed and spit, and walked out with the courage to open the door.
The group of people who had just entered the temple were armed with weapons, and when they came in, they beat and scolded everywhere, and Lin Ruyu immediately entered the kitchen and took out three palm-length bamboo pipes filled with venom. This bamboo tube is made of imitation of the structure of a needle tube, and when you use it, pull out the plug at one end and quickly push the other end inward, and the venom can be sprayed out, which is very convenient.
Lin Ruyu handed her mother a tube of venom, told her to be careful, ran to the gate of the courtyard, handed another bamboo tube to Shen Ge, and said in a low voice, "You have an injury on your arm, don't use a knife if you can outwit it." ”
Shen Ge nodded, "I understand, if Gao Erhu can bring people in later, you and your aunt will go back to the room and wait, let's show our identities and subdue the six people in Zhaojiawan." ”
Lin Ruyu nodded and retreated back to her original position.
After a while, Gao Erhu led Gao Dahu and Zhao Jiawan to come over, and Fang and Lin Ruyu returned to the main house, closed the door and waited.
After such a while, Ma Er's blind man had already rushed into the backyard with people. There was a fresh slap mark on Gao Dahu's face, and there were bloodshot spots on the corner of his mouth, and the six of Zhaojiawan were at a loss. However, after the six people entered the hospital, they were relieved to see that the courtyard was clean and tidy. Living here is much better than living in the North Courtyard, where there is almost no place to put your feet.
Gao Erhu scolded in a low voice, "Those brutes not only occupied our house, but also robbed Brother Zhao Lu of their baggage and food. ”
Shen Ge comforted, "It's okay if people are fine, as long as we can guard this courtyard, what will we want in the future." ”
That's right!
The goddess of wealth in the house promised her brother two hundred taels of silver, as long as she guards Mrs. Lin, what do you want!
Gao Erhu straightened his waist, "Brother Shen is right!" ”
Brother Shen discussed with Zhao Lu, who was led by the six people in Zhaojiawan, "Brother Lu, my third uncle and third brother Gao have gone out to dig bamboo shoots and pick mushrooms. As long as they can stop Ma Er's blind gang and wait for the big ship that comes to pick up Mrs. Lin, the younger brother will be grateful. ”
Zhao Lu, who was sloppy and barefoot, listened to Shen Ge's words and immediately became energetic, "You said there was a boat to pick it up?" ”
Shen Ge nodded, "I didn't have time to tell Brother Lu yesterday that the younger brother is the dart master of the Dongshun Dart Bureau, and this trip is to protect Mrs. Lin to return to Xuanzhou, and the big ship that Xuanzhou came to pick up will arrive at the bottom of the mountain within five days." ”
Zhao Lu was pleasantly surprised, but also a little unbelieving, "Really? Brother, you're not fooling us, are you? We turned our faces with Ma Er's blind man, and we really can't mix in Hao Lianzhai. ”
Shen Ge coughed, and the door of the hall squeaked open. The six of Zhaojiawan turned around and saw an ugly girl with a birthmark on her face helping out a beautiful woman, and their eyes immediately straightened.
Fang's face swept over the six people of Zhaojiawan one by one with a majestic face, and they all lowered their heads. Only then did Shen Ge introduce, "This is the sister of Lord Xicao Shu Zuofang in Weizhou, and the head of the Lin family, the richest merchant in Xuanzhou. ”
The people were afraid of officials, although they didn't know what kind of official Xi Cao Shuzuo was, but Zhao Lu and the six people were still suppressed by Fang's momentum, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Get up." Fang's voice was not in a hurry, and the bearing of everyone's housewife was ten into ten, "This time, I have to thank you for my good work, when I board the ship safely." ”
"Madam, don't worry, the grass people are desperate ......"
"Bang-"
Before Zhao Lu finished expressing his loyalty, the courtyard door of the East Courtyard was kicked hard, "What door to close in broad daylight, open it for Lao Tzu!" Bang-"
Zhao Lu and the others were frightened by the sound of kicking the door, and Lin Ruyu felt that her mother was also frightened, but her voice was still calm, "Shen Ge went to open the door, Mrs. Ben wanted to see who dared to be so presumptuous in front of Mrs. Ben." ”
Shen Ge raised his sword and arched his hand, "Just leave these people to the villain, please go back to your room to rest, so as not to be polluted by these pickled people." ”
"It's fine."
After Fang was helped back to the hall by his daughter, his legs were weak and he almost sat on the ground. Lin Ruyu closed the door, helped her mother sit down at the table, and said in a low voice, "Mother rest first, and my daughter guards the door." ”
"Ruyu takes care of her uncle and Ah Heng, and her mother guards the door." How could Fang let his daughter take the risk, tried to suppress her fear, grabbed the long knife on the table, clenched the handle of the knife with both hands, and stood by the door.
Xiao Ah Heng also picked up a wooden stick that was taller than him, stood beside his mother, staring at the door with wide eyes.
Shen Shangzhi, who was on the couch, sat up straight, and said to Lin Ruyu, who was holding an iron bow, "Ruyu, give the bow and arrow to the old man." ”
