Time: November 30, the first year of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Location: In Tanzhou City, where Ah Li and the others are currently located, Chenzhou is six or seven hundred miles away, which is the Huaihua region of the modern plane.

Seven or eight miles outside the city, in a village called Shimen.

Looking at the small farm yard in front of me, which consists of four adobe houses and a circle of bamboo fences.

Xu Feng took a deep breath, began to tidy up his clothes, and after finding that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, he stepped forward and knocked a few times in front of the courtyard gate.

Then, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Excuse me, is anyone at home?" ”

The voice fell, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man dressed in coarse linen clothes, who looked a little tiger-headed, came out of a room.

After glancing at this side with vigilance, he did not show weakness at all, and asked with a question:

"Who are you, and which are you looking for?"

After giving the salute, Xu Feng asked again: "Dare to ask the little brother, is this the 'one-knife mountain' Guan Jiumin, Guan Daxia's mansion?" ”

What's that! Guan Jiumin is not under Nanyang City, and his righteous brother Zhang Kui.

In order to block the heavy cavalry of the Mengren, the two used their bodies as stakes to pull up the tripwire when they couldn't find the stump, and finally they both died.

So why did Xufeng still find the door?

In fact, Xu Feng appeared here precisely because Guan Jiumin died in battle.

First of all, Hu Biao confirmed that it was precisely because of the arrival of his own people that the operation of burning military rations and gunpowder in Nanyang City this time was greatly increased after being adjusted by the system.

It was Guan Jiumin and others who died there one after another.

Even if there is such a thing, even if they don't say it, no one knows, but they are still the heroes who are extremely respected in the hearts of the heroes.

However, Hu Biao and the others couldn't convince themselves, and they always had to do something they could for these heroes who died in battle.

So based on such an idea, in the case of a little tight manpower in the team.

Xu Feng, Chen Tang, Fenghuahui and other three people still set off with some heroes.

With a large amount of gold and jewels on their bodies, they began to set out separately in various places; And what they did was to give a pension of one hundred taels of silver to their relatives.

I don't want anything else, I just hope that their families will not become difficult because of the death of the pillars of the family.

In short, it's all about peace of mind.

Such a thing will persist until Xu Feng and the others have gone to the hometowns of all known heroes who have died in battle, or before February 1.

Because at most on February 15, they need to prepare to go outside Xiangyang City to fight against the Mongols.

At that time, the other heroes of the rivers and lakes will continue to send money around, and Xu Feng and the other three will rush back to Wudaoxia to meet and prepare for the last stage of the task.

Fortunately, according to the current situation, Xufeng and they should be able to complete such a job before February 1.

Before today, Xu Feng alone had already walked the hometown of thirty-five heroes; Now the Guan Jiumin family, who has inquired all the way, is already the thirty-sixth.

As for the fact that in front of him, such a small farmhouse that looks a little shabby is actually the home of a good man.

Frankly speaking, after Xu Feng saw it, he didn't feel the slightest strangeness and turbulence in his heart; Because in the previous time, he had seen something more tattered and shabby.

Just as some heroes once said to them after drinking too much:

"If the family had a lot of money and land, then he would have been a carefree master at home; If you have a belly full of poems and books, then you will also take the imperial examination and become an official.

In short, if there is some way, who will come to mix the rivers and lakes......"

******

In the following time, after hearing that Xu Feng claimed to be Guan Jiumin's friend in the rivers and lakes, the young man's reaction immediately changed greatly.

It turned out that this little brother was Guan Jiumin's younger brother.

He shouted the words 'Come to the guest, mother, sister-in-law come out quickly', welcomed Xu Feng into the small courtyard, and sat down in the largest hall.

Then, an old woman in her fifties, a woman in her twenties, and two children, a man and a woman, appeared and came up to greet him.

In such a process, it was Guan Jiumin's widowed old woman, who still shouted a string of contents in her mouth.

For example, let the lady of Guan Jiumin hurry up to kill a chicken, and let the younger brother of Guan Jiumin hurry up to the village to play two corners of wine and buy some fish and shrimp back.

He even asked a pair of children, according to a sister who is already seven or eight years old, to go to the backyard vegetable field to pick some fresh melons and vegetables.

Anyway, in a scene where they are doing their best to entertain distinguished guests, the family is very happy.

Seeing such a scene, Xu Feng's heart became more and more blocked; Even if the scene in front of him is not the first time he has encountered it.

Because he knows how happy the family is now, and how sad they will be when he tells him about Guan Jiumin's death.

As for not saying anything, after a meal, find an excuse to leave the money and leave?

It's not good, because as long as they have the heart, they can always find out about Guan Jiumin's death in Nanyang in the mouths of other Jianghu people after a long time.

I can't hide it, I can't hide it, I can only say it.

After making up his mind, Xu Feng first took a deep breath and performed a Xuange camp in this mission world with both hands, based on the traditional fork hand salute of the Tang Anxi Army.

With an extremely solemn voice in his mouth, he began to say word by word:

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Guan family, I am Xufeng, the captain of the Xuange Battalion, and I am here to inform you on behalf of the Xuange Battalion.

Two months ago, Guan Jiumin and Guan Daxia joined our Xuange battalion, and on the evening of October 24, our Xuange battalion was in the battle of burning the Mongolian grain, grass and gunpowder in Nanyang City.

In order to protect his comrades-in-arms, Guan Daxia did not hesitate to block the way of the Mongolian heavy cavalry charge with his flesh and blood, and unfortunately died in battle after killing many Mongolian heavy cavalry.

It can be said that it played a key role in the successful burning of Mongolian grain, grass and gunpowder.

Guan Daxia died fighting for the country and the people, and his great deeds will always be remembered by us and inspire us to continue to move forward.

It's a pity that in the face of the pursuit and killing of the Mongolian army that day, we couldn't even bring back the corpse and relics of Guan Daxia; Only one hundred taels of silver can be offered here, which can be regarded as some meager compensity from the Xuange camp for Guan Daxia. ”

While speaking, Xu Feng took out a hundred taels of fine full-colored silver from a package behind him, and offered it with both hands.

It's just that at this moment, no one in the Guan family cares, such a sum of money can buy at least fifteen acres of paddy fields in the countryside like theirs.

After hearing such bad news, Guan Liu, the lady of Guan Jiumin, fainted as soon as her eyes rolled.

The old woman sat on the ground, unable to say a word for a long time, and the two ignorant children were so frightened that they cried, and even the little brother of the Guan family was also red-eyed and helpless......

After pinching people and feeding some marching treatment, the Liu family finally woke up.

The old woman who had cried a time still forcibly kept Xu Feng for a meal before letting go, in her words, the Guan family could not lose their manners no matter what.

It's just that this meal, Xu Feng ate unpleasantly, and after eating, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

As a result, he walked out for more than ten miles, and a voice of 'Brother Xu, wait for me' came from behind him.

When I looked back, I saw that the little brother of the Guan family was carrying a small burden and carrying a snow-bright Daguan knife, panting all the way to catch up.

Without waiting for a breath, the little brother of the Guan family just spoke:

"Brother Xu, I told my mother, and she agreed.

I will go with you to join the Xuange camp and avenge my brother; I have also studied the sword skills of the Guan family, and my eldest brother also praised me for having his level of seven or eight points, and I will be stronger than him in the future. ”

Hearing such a sentence, Xu Feng's instinct is to refuse.

But the junior brother of the Guan family blocked his refusal back with a word: "Brother Xu, if you don't want me in the Xuange camp, I will go to Xiangyang and Nanyang to kill the Mongolian Tartars to take revenge." ”

After being silent for a while, Xu Feng quickly wrote a paragraph in his notebook.

After tearing it off, he handed it to the other party along with a dozen or two pieces of silver.

This is what he said: "I still want to give other people pension silver, you first go to Yicheng on Jinghu North Road, find a 'Spring Breeze Inn', show this thing to the shopkeeper in it, and naturally arrange for you to go to the Xuange camp."

Remember, along the way, take care of the money on your body, don't eat indiscriminately, don't trust anyone casually~"

Although he failed to walk with Xu Feng, he was also the little brother of the Guan family who had achieved his wish, so naturally there was no more entanglement.

The two walked together for two or three miles, and at the next intersection they broke up.

Looking at the figure who strode away with a small burden, Xu Feng silently decided in his heart: no matter what, he must also protect this little brother of the Guan family in the future.

They closed their family, and it was enough for Guan Jiumin to die......
