Chapter 41 Return to Wuwei Ten Thousand Families Born Buddha
If everyone has the ability to predict the future, then at this time, Chu Mofeng and the four should be in the fantasy world, but they are very helpless, this is the eleventh year of the Sui Daye, the only bright period of the dark period at the end of the Daye, if Chu Mofeng and the four leave Shuofang County one step later, they may be able to see Liang Shidu who has returned to his hometown.
There may be a providence in the dark, although he and Liang Shi have not met at this time, but in the winter of the second year of Zhenguan (628 AD), the two have met but they have each other's masters, and the swords are facing each other.
At the beginning of the morning, Chu Mofeng, who had been repairing all night, turned over and continued to walk towards Guzang County, Wuwei County, considering Gu Zhen'er's feelings as a foodie, Chu Mofeng still bought a lot of food and distributed it to the three girls before leaving. At this time, it is less than half a day's journey from Wuwei County to Guzang County.
Gu Zhen'er looked at the pile of food bulging in the coat, and sneered while riding a horse, Liu Feiyan saw this and whipped the back of the horse, parallel to her, stretched out his hand and patted her head and said: "Back to the soul, I have been smiling all the way to you, haven't you ever seen anything to eat?" In the four years of Zhangye, you didn't eat less in the Yanyu Building, that is, the big brother of fish intestines, they saw that you were too young to care about you, and you said that you were not afraid of eating fat and not being able to play with your knife. ”
"Cousin, I've been an adult who has been training in the rivers and lakes for a long time, why don't you pat me on the head when it's okay?" Gu Zhen'er took out a fish pocket from the blanket with one hand and put it in her mouth, rubbed her head with the other hand, and looked at Liu Feiyan aggrievedly, "Besides, how can I have the strength to punish evil and promote good when I am not full." ”
Liu Feiyan shook his head helplessly, and then urged the horse under his crotch, and caught up with Xiao Ruolan, who was parallel to Chu Mofeng in front, "Ruolan, if you don't have enough to eat in your coat, I still have it in my coat, but remember not to give it to Zhen'er, this girl can't eat anymore." ”
"Sister Feiyan, I usually eat less. Then Xiao Ruolan pulled the reins slightly, a few steps behind Chu Mofeng, and whispered to Liu Feiyan: "Actually, Sister Feiyan, we should care more about Brother Chu, don't look at him usually takes care of us, in fact, he himself is very inattentive to taking care of himself." ”
Looking at the back of Chu Mofeng riding a horse, Liu Feiyan couldn't help but warm his eyes, wiped his face casually, raised his whip and whipped it on the horse's back, the horse roared in pain, spread its hooves and ran forward.
At this time, Chu Mofeng was humming a little song leisurely, looking at the yellow sand in front of him, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and turned his head to see that it was Liu Feiyan chasing after him.
"Brother Chu, are you hungry, I'll get you something to eat from the jacket, right?"
"It's okay, just give me some, I'm not very hungry anyway. ”
Liu Feiyan took out a few fish pockets from the jacket, stuffed a few into Chu Mofeng's hands, and pinched one himself and ate it slowly, "Brother Chu, what do you say a person has to live in this life to be satisfied?"
After holding the reins of the horse, Chu Mofeng stopped and stared at Liu Feiyan seriously, thinking about this esoteric topic, Liu Feiyan had never been stared at by Chu Mofeng so much, his cheeks couldn't help but flush, and his hands clenched the reins tightly.
Not far away, Gu Zhen'er and Xiao Ruolan rode side by side, and when they saw the scene in the distance, they couldn't help but put their heads together and began to mutter.
"Look at you, you also said that my cousin doesn't like Brother Feng, don't the two of them look at each other, hey, you said that the two of them won't kiss for a while, right?"
"I said Zhen'er, do you like your brother Feng? If you like what you tell him, what's the use of putting acid here. Xiao Ruolan frowned and glanced at Gu Zhen'er, then smiled and gently slapped Gu Zhen'er with her hand, "Don't think about it so badly, when I first saw Brother Chu, I thought he was a decent gentleman." ”
Gu Zhen'er glanced at Xiao Ruolan and smiled sheepishly: "Ruolan, do you also like Brother Feng?"
Xiao Ruolan was stunned when she heard this, and then laughed: "How can there be, I just admire him very much, although we are all of the same age, but when I saw him for the first time, I felt that there was a kind of stability that did not belong to this age from him, I think Brother Chu must be a person with a story." ”
"My cousin and I have known him for more than four years, and he rarely talks to us about his past, we only know that he has two confidantes and a group of masters, and the rest know very little. ”
At this time, Liu Feiyan couldn't stand this dull atmosphere, and mustered up the courage to ask softly: "Brother Chu, I'm a little embarrassed to do what you are looking at me like this." ”
"I'm sorry for the smoke, I was distracted by some questions just now, forgive me. Chu Mofeng heard Liu Feiyan's voice, and immediately ended thinking, scratched his head at Liu Feiyan and said: "In fact, it is good for people to live a full and healthy life, they don't need to be rich and rich, and they don't have the luxury of living a long life, at least when they recall the past in their twilight years, they can only be satisfied if they have no regrets in their hearts." ”
"Actually, it's not all right, you see that today's court is becoming more and more mediocre and corrupt, the emperor only cares about years of war, repairing everywhere, and completely ignoring the lives of the people, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have fallen into the grass at the beginning, and Zhen'er would not have changed from a rich lady to a thief. ”
"Therefore, if there is a Ming Emperor who overthrows the rule of the present dynasty and establishes a world where the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, and do not have to worry about their livelihood every day, then I am willing to take my team to assist him until I see the scene I hope in my heart. Then Chu Mofeng turned his head to the two people who were still muttering behind him and said, "You two speed up a little faster, and strive to rush to Guzang County at noon, and don't eat at noon when you are the last to enter the city gate." ”
Immediately, Chu Mofeng whispered a few words in Tafeng's ear, Tafeng suddenly kicked his hooves and accelerated forward, Liu Feiyan, Gu Zhen'er and Xiao Ruolan saw this, and shouted cunning while galloping on their horses.
As everyone knows, a major event happened in Guzang County today, in a cell in the county jail, a middle-aged man sat on a straw mat with a wooden face, and kept muttering 'why', and suddenly the jailer in the prison shouted loudly: "Old Chen, it's time to eat, and I'm ready to go on the road after eating." "I saw a bowl sticking out of the fence of the cell, and in the bowl was a thick layer of white rice, and on top of it was a layer of green vegetables, and on top of the green vegetables was a chicken leg with a thick sauce, and then a pot of wine came in from outside the fence.
The cell head Huang Er leaned against the fence, looked at Lao Chen, who was still unmoving, sighed and said to the jailer on the side: "What the hell is this world, the old Zhu family in the east of the city deserves to die, open a pawnshop to lend money, and if you can't do it, you will take your servants to other people's houses to rob them, relying on someone in the family to be an official in the imperial court, lawless." ”
The jailer on the side pointed to Lao Chentou and asked Huang Er: "Huang Tou, why did Lao Chentou provoke Lao Zhu's family?"
"Damn, I also complain that Lao Chen's life is not good, he opened a tailor shop and barely supported his family, who knew that he made a mistake in making clothes for others last month, and the main family also had to be unforgiving, so he had to let Lao Chen pay back the money, how could Lao Chen pay it back?"
Huang Er looked at Lao Chen, and then said: "I set the money to buy medicine for his girl to treat the disease, this is not no way, I went to Lao Zhu's house to borrow money, nine out of thirteen, it should be repaid this month, and if I don't go to Lao Zhu's house, I will catch his sick girl and sell it to the kiln, Lao Chen Tou was in a hurry, and a pair of scissors poked to death a servant of Lao Zhu's family, and now he caused trouble, and put his life here." ”
The jailer looked at Lao Chen and shook his head helplessly, and then followed Huang Er outside.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, four people on horseback flashed at the north gate of Guzang County, walking towards the inn without stopping, at this time a large number of people gathered on the execution ground, pointing at the old Chen on the beheading platform, the prison officer looked at the high sun, anxiously waiting for the arrival of three o'clock in the afternoon.
A blind girl in the crowd shouted loudly to Lao Chen on the stage with the support of others: "Dad, you are wronged, why don't you say it? My daughter is already like this, why do you put your life on the line for me?"
When Lao Chen heard his daughter calling him, he raised his head and shouted to his daughter: "Silly child, dad is worth it for you not to suffer and not be guilty." Then he shouted to the people below: "Folks, for the sake of my old Chen getting along well with you on weekdays, after I leave, the girl will trouble you to take more care, your great kindness, Lao Chen will report it in the next life." ”
On one side of the crowd stood a pair of treacherous men and women, shouting at Lao Chen: "You poor ghost, die early and finish it soon, and when you die, the debt you owe will be paid by your girl." Then he burst out laughing.
At this time, a young man in the crowd shouted loudly to the man and woman: "The surname is Zhu, aren't you two afraid of retribution? If you let the other side of the Xiangzi Gang know, how long do you think you two can live?"
At this time, the man surnamed Zhu laughed and said: "What kind of bullshit is that the Xiangzi Gang was obviously exterminated by the county guard, that is, you mud-legged people believe those bullshit, if there is really any bullshit on the other side, you let them come out, I have to ask someone to break their dog's legs." ”
Then he turned to the warden and shouted, "Lord Warden, it's three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
Hearing this, the prison officer glanced at the sun, and then shouted loudly: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and the criminal Chen is honest, and he has been verified and executed." Then he threw the sign with Lao Chen's head written on it and threw it to the ground.
The executioner took out the wooden sign behind Lao Chen's head, pressed Lao Chen's head to the beheading platform, then took a sip of wine, sprayed the wine on the ghost's big knife, and said to Lao Chen: "Lao Chen, don't blame me, I also obey orders, go well." Then he raised the ghost head knife and was about to slash down.
At this time, there was a cry in the audience, and Lao Chentou's daughter looked up to the sky and shouted: "God, open your eyes and see, my father is wronged, please send someone to save my father." ”
The man surnamed Zhu looked at Lao Chentou's daughter and sneered: "It's useless for you to shout, no one will come to save your father, you will die of this heart." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a cold voice outside the crowd shouting: "Chen family girl, as you wish." Immediately, two golden rays of light flashed above the heads of the crowd, one hitting the wooden sign that was about to land, and the other hitting the executioner's ghost-headed broadsword.
The wooden plaque was struck by the golden light and nailed to the prisoner's table, and the knife in the executioner's hand suddenly flew out of his hand and stuck straight in front of the table. The warden was so frightened that he hurriedly looked forward, only to see three people wearing ghost masks outside the crowd, riding on horses, looking at them coldly.
The warden asked tremblingly, "Who is it and why is it disturbing the execution?" ”
I only heard the man with the Yaksha mask shouting, "The flower of the other side!"
One of the women saw the mask of the person behind her, and ran to the front of Lao Chentou's daughter, took her hand and said happily: "Girl, your father is saved, it is really the other side of the flower, in May this year, they killed the Xiangzi Gang, I remember that the Yaksha mask, it was really they who came back." ”
When Lao Chentou's daughter heard this, she hurriedly asked people to help her come to a few people, knelt down and kowtowed to a few people three times and said, "I implore you heroes to save my father, my father was wronged." Please, I am willing to repay you by being a cow and a horse. ”
At this time, Chu Mofeng looked at the woman in front of him through the mask, and said coldly: "Tell me what's going on, if your father is really wronged, then we will protect him, if you lie, I will kill you and your father together, and the other side of the flower gang is poor but also axiom." ”
Lao Chen's daughter told the ins and outs of the matter, and at this time, Liu Feiyance immediately turned over and dismounted to help the woman in front of him up, and said through the ghostly Rakshasa mask: "Little sister, get up, I hate money lending the most in my life, I will help with this favor." ”
Liu Feiyan turned his head and glanced at Chu Mofeng, Chu Mofeng nodded knowingly, and then Liu Feiyan turned around and shouted to the prison officer: "Tell you Lord County Guard, we are back again, we have Baoding this person, we will take the person away, you go back and hand it over." ”
Xiao Ruolan and Gu Zhen'er jumped on the beheading platform, untied the rope on Lao Chentou's body, and walked down with Lao Chen's head in their arms, and the crowd of onlookers consciously made way and watched a few people leave.
Back to Lao Chen's tailor's shop, I saw a mess, Lao Chentou welcomed a few people in, and then knelt down to the four people: "The kindness of several heroes, the villain can't be repaid, this life will definitely give a few people to set up an immortal tablet, chanting day and night to pray for you to live a long life, and the villain will be a cow and a horse to repay you in the next life." ”
Chu Mofeng took off his mask and helped Lao Chen up and said: "Uncle, you don't have to be like this, we will step on the road when we see injustice, and we will take care of it when we encounter injustice, but your family can't live, come with us, we will take you to Zhangye and settle down there, the people there are very kind." ”
At this time, Gu Zhen'er, who had been talking to the girl of the Chen family, suddenly asked: "Uncle Chen, are Qin Jing's eyes invisible when he was born or what happened to him afterwards?"
Lao Chen looked at his daughter and sighed and said: "Alas, Qin Qing was able to see when she was born, who knew that when she was six years old, she accidentally fell off the bed, and then she couldn't see. Tears flowed involuntarily.
Gu Zhen'er pondered for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Yes, I know who can cure Qinqing's eyes, you go back to Zhangye with us, my family has a recipe for treating blindness, after I go back, I will let Sister Rakshasa study and study, maybe Qinqing can see again." ”
When Lao Chen heard Gu Zhen'er say this, he laughed happily: "A few of you will sit in my small place first, and I will go to the street to buy some wine and food, and we will celebrate." Then he turned around and was about to go out.
At this time, Chu Mofeng stopped Lao Chen and said, "I can't let you break the bank, you can take this money, and then hire a carriage to go back, so that you can take Qinqing away." Then he took out five hangings of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Lao Chen's hand.
Lao Chen held the money and made a gesture to Chu Mofeng and hurriedly went out, a few people were chatting in the house while waiting for Lao Chen, at this time Chu Mofeng was bored, and said to Xiao Ruolan: "Ruolan, I'll take you to buy a mask, and then let's buy a few more, and by the way, let's see how to change a horse for you." ”
Xiao Ruolan answered, followed Chu Mofeng out of the door, the two came to the booth where they bought masks before, and began to pick them one by one, Xiao Ruolan chose a mask that was only half of it, and only the mask was rendered in heavy red, only the lips were dull black, and then Xiao Ruolan put on this mask, and the whole person suddenly became cold.
Chu Mofeng saw that Xiao Ruolan had picked it out, and then bought seven or eight more masks, and after paying the money, the two were about to leave the bazaar, when they suddenly heard someone on the street shouting: "Murder, come and help." ”
The two hurriedly ran out to look in the direction of the sound, and when they came to the place of the incident, they saw an old man lying on the ground, and the ground was full of blood.
Seeing that it was Chu Mofeng, Lao Chen grabbed Chu Mofeng tightly with his blood-covered hand and said, "Hero, I can't do it, please do something, help me heal my daughter's eyes and take her to a comfortable place." Then he tilted his head and fell silent.
Xiao Ruolan, who was half a step behind, first covered her mouth and cried when she saw this scene, and then asked Chu Mofeng: "Brother Chu, who did this? Don't people say that if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing? Lao Chen, what's wrong?" ”
At this time, Chu Mofeng slowly stood up, stopped a person and said, "Help me return his body to the tailor's shop, let his neighbors help prepare for the funeral, and I will avenge him." Then he took some money out of his pocket and stuffed it into the man's hand.
Turning around, Chu Mofeng walked up to Xiao Ruolan, put on his Yaksha mask, and said to Xiao Ruolan: "Ruolan, don't cry, put your mask on, you use this pair of daggers first, let's go and avenge Lao Chen." ”
Xiao Ruolan wiped away her tears, took Chu Mofeng's other side of the Yellow Spring, pulled a knife flower, put on the newly bought mask, and followed Chu Mofeng on the street without saying a word.
When he came to the pawnshop of Lao Zhu's house, he saw a few people dressed as domestic servants standing outside the door, two of them still had undried blood, Chu Mofeng didn't say a word, he took out the burning sky behind him and rushed up, stabbing at the two domestic servants, and then the two fell to the ground covered in blood, and the shopkeeper of the pawnshop saw it and shouted: "Murder, come quickly." ”
At this time, Xiao Ruolan found a torch out of nowhere, lit it and rushed into the pawnshop with a torch, and when she saw the flammable one, she used the torch to get together, and after a while, the entire pawnshop was on fire, and the fire was red in half of Guzang County.
The man surnamed Zhu and his daughter-in-law received a report from the servant and hurried to the pawnshop, seeing that the pawnshop had been engulfed in flames, his daughter-in-law sat on the ground anxiously and beat her chest, while the man surnamed Zhu shouted at Chu Mofeng:
"You mud leg, you wait, I will seek revenge on you......" Before the word 'of' could be spoken, I saw an iron bar-like thing piercing out of the throat of the man surnamed Zhu, "I didn't want to kill you, but you had to let the servant kill Lao Chen, so you had to die." ”
Chu Mofeng looked at the man surnamed Zhu coldly, and said coldly, at this time, when his daughter-in-law saw that the head of the family was killed, she angrily picked up a stone and threw it towards Chu Mofeng, and before she entered Chu Mofeng's side, she saw that she was kicked out by a slender leg, "Don't force me to kill you, if you hurt Brother Chu, I will definitely cut you with a thousand knives." Get out!"
I saw Xiao Ruolan flashing to Chu Mofeng's side at some point, and looked coldly at the daughter-in-law of the man surnamed Zhu.
The fire quickly attracted people's attention, and learned that it was the Zhu family's pawnshop that caught fire, and everyone applauded, and soon the other side of the flower helped Lao Chen to take revenge and burn the old Zhu family's pawnshop spread all over the county, all the people praised the practice of the other side of the flower, and they all offered the immortal tablet at home, praying for God to bless these people who punish evil and promote good.
