Halfway up Biji Mountain, Jian Rang led all the minions to catch up with Fan Chenglin, and stabbed Fan Chenglin to death with a knife in public, and then some minions proposed to cut off Fan Chenglin's head and go back to the business, but Jian Rang refused. Jian Rang said that Fan Chenglin should be left with the last dignity and a whole corpse. Jian Rang bent down to pick up the arrow in Fan Chenglin's left hand, stood on the side of the road, stared blankly at Fan Chenglin's body, sighed after a long time, and led the minions back to the cottage to pay the order.

For more than half an hour, the black horse that Fan Chenglin was riding ran back, snorted beside Fan Chenglin's corpse, first rubbed his face with his head, and then bit his collar with his teeth to lift it up, trying to wake up his master. When Jian Rang stabbed Fan Chenglin just now, the black horse was scared away, and Jian Rang stabbed Fan Chenglin to death with a knife, and his mood was extremely bad, so he naturally had no intention of chasing a horse, so he went with it.

Unexpectedly, the black horse rubbed Fan Chenglin's face, Fan Chenglin's hands and feet really moved, and then Fan Chenglin slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a long horse face, and then what caught his eye was the half-round waning moon in the sky.

When Fan Chenglin saw the face of the black horse, he thought to himself, alas, the second brother actually slaughtered this horse as well! When he saw the waning moon in the sky, he thought to himself: It turns out that there is also a moon in the underworld? The black horse seemed very happy to see that his master had woken up, and kept snorting. Fan Chenglin felt a lot of pain in his chest, and gently touched the wound on his chest with his right hand, almost dying of pain again.

He suddenly felt as if he was holding something in his left hand, and Yu Shang slowly raised his left hand to his eyes, and smelled the aroma of the pill in his nose. Fan Chenglin was a little puzzled, where did I get the medicine in my hand?

Fan Chenglin suddenly felt that the taste of the medicine was a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that this was Jian Rang's unique healing medicine Jin Chuangdan. Fan Chenglin instantly understood, it turned out that before Second Brother Jian stabbed himself, he had already saved his heart to save himself, so he didn't want to kill himself, and he took the opportunity of taking the arrow to secretly stuff a golden medicine in his hand.

It turned out that it was his friend's mercy under the knife that he was able to live, Fan Chenglin suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, and his body involuntarily gave birth to strength, he struggled to get up, took off the water bladder from the horse, and took Jin Chuangdan with clear water, and took out an old dress from the small burden on the horse's back, cut it with a knife, and wrapped up the wound on his chest. Only then did he slowly sit by, and after two teas, the medicine began to take effect.

At this time, the night is dark, the dawn is still early, and in late autumn, it is cool, but fortunately, the climate in Jiannan Road is still good, and there is no snow in all seasons, so it will not die of cold on the road. Fan Chenglin secretly said in his heart that he was lucky, tonight it was the second brother Jian Rang who kowtowed to chase him, if someone else in the cottage caught up with him, he would die.

Fan Chenglin suddenly remembered Yang Liu who saved him, and he didn't know if this girl had escaped from the tiger's mouth. Fan Chenglin himself was seriously injured, and he didn't dare to go back to check, so he struggled to climb onto the horse, and the black horse walked all the way down the mountain road. Although Fan Chenglin ate Jin Chuangdan, after all, he lost too much blood, was dizzy, and did not dare to get up, lying on the back of the horse, believing in the reins of the horse, in short, the black horse took the road down the mountain, and the farther away from the cottage, the safer it was.

The sky soon brightened, and the black dragon carried Fan Chenglin up the official road and walked in the direction of Jianzhou County. Fan Chenglin was covered in blood on the back of the horse, and at first glance, he was robbed, and he didn't dare to meddle with the occasional encounter on the road. Don't save people and get into trouble, if you are arrested by the government and accused of being a robber, you will be in trouble.

Fan Chenglin didn't know how far the black horse had gone, he only drank the water in the water bladder twice, and he was forced to hold on the horse's back, although he felt that the wound was very painful, but the will to survive supported him, and he had only one thought in his heart, if he wanted to survive, he had to stay away from the cottage, and then farther away. Finally, Fan Chenglin, who was tired, thirsty, hungry, sleepy and tired, couldn't hold it anymore, he was dizzy and his eyes were dark, and he fell off the horse again, unconscious.

The place where Fan Chenglin fell from his horse was at the intersection of a Zhuangzi. When the black horse saw that his master had fallen again, he refused to leave alone, but only circled around his master and snorted. At this time, it was just past noon, and there happened to be an old Chen Tou selling tofu who was going home with a two-wheeled tofu cart, and the old man had just finished selling tofu in the market four miles away, humming a little song and was about to get home.

The black horse saw that someone was coming, and hurriedly ran to Lao Chentou's tofu car, snorted again, and grabbed the corner of the old man's clothes, and pulled it to Fan Chenglin's side, this black horse has aura, and he actually knows how to find someone to save Fan Chenglin. The old Chen Tou, who sells tofu, had a good heart, but when he saw this black horse like this, his heart moved, thinking that this person had committed some kind of emergency illness and fell off the horse?

When Lao Chen Tou got closer, he turned out to be a man dressed as a scholar, covered in blood, with a torn piece of clothing tied to his body, and he saw that there was a wound on his chest, so he had been robbed? Ouch, this is terrible! You have to save people quickly, and if you lose too much blood, you have to die, so you have to do it? The old man quickly picked up the tofu cart, put the tofu board up, and with great effort, moved Fan Chenglin into the car, and tied the reins of the black horse to the car.

Lao Chen pushed the empty tofu cart and walked into the Zhuangzi, followed by the black horse. Lao Chen's house is not far from the side of the official road, more than half a mile, with a single courtyard, two bright and one dark three rooms, and there is no one on the road at this time, so no one sees Lao Chen Tou pushing a person home.

When Lao Chen arrived home, he first called his wife and daughter to come out to help, carried Fan Chenglin to the bed in the inner room, and then came out to tie the black horse to the back of the house and fill in some forage. Only then did he explain the matter to his wife and daughter, saying that the black horse came to block the road at the intersection and asked for help, and the old lady and the girl were also amazed.

Zhuangzi is small, there are only dozens of households, no one understands medical skills, there is a doctor in Huajiaji four miles away, it is important to save people, Lao Chen Tou hurriedly rode on his own donkey to find a doctor. Half an hour later, Dr. Sun came back with a medicine box on his back, riding a donkey and Lao Chen, Dr. Sun first looked at Fan Chenglin's injury, and then said to Lao Chen, "This person's injury is quite serious, but it is not fatal, and he needs to recuperate for a period of time." ”

Lao Chen Tou heard that the injury was not fatal, so he put his mind at ease, Dr. Sun cleaned up the wound for Fan Chenglin, and prescribed a bunch of medicines for internal and external application, Lao Chen Tou was very grateful, and asked for the medicine money, this Mrs. Sun was not bad, only charged half price, and instructed some precautions, such as not eating spicy things, etc., so she rode on the donkey and went with confidence.

Fan Chenglin took medicine, and Lao Chen asked his daughter to feed him some porridge. After taking the medicine and drinking the porridge, Fan Chenglin woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that a big girl in blue cloth clothes was sitting on a stool next to the bed, staring at herself with a pair of big eyes, which startled Fan Chenglin. When the girl of the Chen family saw that he was awake, she was overjoyed, and shouted to the outhouse: "Dad, mother, come quickly, this husband has woken up!"

Fan Chenglin, who was lying on the bed, struggled to sit up, and asked with a blank face: "Girl, where am I?"

The girl smiled and said, "It's at my house!" My father saw you fainting on the road and rescued you!" While the two were talking, Lao Chen Tou came in from outside, and was very happy to see Fan Chenglin awake, "Oh, young man, you're awake!"

Fan Chenglin heard the girl say that it was the girl's father who saved him, it must be the old man in front of him, and he struggled and wanted to go down to the ground to salute the old man, "Thank you for the old man's life!"

The old man hurriedly went over and held him down, "Young man, you are seriously injured, don't hurry to salute until you are well! What is the situation with you? Have you been robbed?"

Fan Chenglin didn't rush to answer the old man's question, but asked, "Old man, what kind of place is this? How far is it from Biji Mountain?"

The old man smiled: "Young man, my surname is Chen, and I am an old man in the countryside who makes tofu, and I don't know a single big character." You have been poisoned by those robbers in Biji Mountain, right? Our Zhuangzi is called Mopanzhuang, which is about 120 miles away from Biji Mountain, and the robbers on Biji Mountain will not beat our Zhuangzi's idea, because our Zhuangzi is too small and poor, and he can't grab anything when he comes, so he can't rob a few pieces of tofu from my little old man, right?"

Fan Chenglin heard that it was more than 100 miles away from Biji Mountain, and they would not come, so he relieved his heart a little, and roughly told him about his origins, saying that his surname was Fan, and he was a native of Southwest Dao, and he was a showman. His father turned out to be a county order, quite a reputation for honesty and honesty for the people, just because the king of Pingxi fell in love with his sister and forced him to be a concubine, but his father refused, so he was wiped out by the king of Pingxi, and his sister was sold to the Qinglou

Take off. Yunyun.

When Lao Chen heard that Fan Chenglin's family had been killed by King Yin Quan of Pingxi, he was filled with indignation and said: "It's a pity that your father is a good and honest official, and he was killed by King Pingxi like this! This King of Pingxi doesn't do good things, I know his murderous name in this Jiannan Road, don't worry, young man, this kind of person has done too many bad things, and he will not die well in the future! You just have to rest assured to recuperate from my injuries, there are few people in Zhuangzi, and there are no bad people, you don't have to worry." ”

Fan Chenglin and Lao Chen Tou chatted for a while, only to know that Lao Chen's name is Chen Mantang, his wife Chen Liu, and his maiden name is Liu Erni.

Chen Mantang's daughter is called Chen Guihua, she is sixteen years old this year, and she has not yet been married. It was born in autumn, so it was named osmanthus. At the age of forty-seven years old, Chen Mantang gave birth to this daughter, who is also an old woman, and the old couple loves her, although this girl can't read a few words, she can handle housework that is a good hand, hardworking and capable.

Chen Mantang smiled and told Fan Chenglin, you black horse is quite aura, stop me on the road and look for me to save you, Fan Chenglin was very surprised, it turned out that this black horse can still savior, and couldn't help sighing, it is really a good horse is better than a gentleman, a good horse, a hundred times stronger than some animals. Chen Mantian chatted with Fan Chenglin for a while, and was afraid that Fan Chenglin would be tired, so he let him rest first.

The next day, someone in the village saw a black horse tied to the back of the Chen family's house, and they were very surprised, this old Chen Tou was a tofu maker, how could he have the money to buy such a tall horse? This horse must be worth at least 100 taels of silver. Lao Chen Tou replied directly to the villagers in Zhuangshang, saying that this horse belongs to my cousin, and my cousin lives in Southwest Road, and he has come all the way to visit me and wants to live in our house for a while.

The people in the village are shallow-eyed, and they are not very accurate, so they ran to Chen's house under the pretext of visiting the door, and saw Fan Chenglin lying on the bed, Chen Mantang said that my nephew came from afar, greedy for the distance, infected with the cold, and wanted to rest in bed for a few days.

Fan Chenglin still had a dozen taels of silver in his baggage, and he was going to take it out and give it to Lao Chen, but the old man resolutely refused to accept it, saying that I didn't save you for silver, Fan Chenglin also smiled, "Old man, the grace of saving your life is not something that can be repaid with this little silver! I give you silver for nothing else, I eat and live here, and I have to let you serve me with my aunt and sister-in-law, this is the money to buy food and medicine, this money can't let you out, right?"

Chen Mantang laughed, "Fan Xianggong, to put it mildly, people are in trouble, that is, when they go out on weekdays, can anyone still walk with the house on top of it? You are a scholar, how much can you eat and drink? When your body is about to recover, then make plans! This matter is not in a hurry!" Fan Chenglin couldn't either, so he had to think about how to repay this family if he had the opportunity in the future.

Time flies, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Fan Chenglin's injuries have also healed. During this period, Dr. Sun came twice, both to inspect Fan Chenglin's wounds, plus prescribe and change the medicine, Dr. Sun has good medical ethics, and he has never told others that Fan Chenglin's body is a knife wound. In addition, Jian Rang's Jin Chuangdan did work well, and Fan Chenglin finally saved his life.

During this time, the relationship between Fan Chenglin and the Chen family was also very harmonious, just like a family. Although the appearance of this Chen osmanthus is not superior, it is also upright and cute. This girl was faintly interested in Fan Chenglin, and she was afraid that she would be a talented woman and look down on herself as a rural girl, so she didn't dare to speak. In addition to recuperating from his injuries, Fan Chenglin's mind is full of thoughts about how to take revenge in the future, and his mind is naturally not on this.

In the afternoon of this day, Chen Mantang came back from selling tofu, and inadvertently mentioned that in Jianzhou County, a hundred miles away, there were people and horses of Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei, who captured Ye Tengjiao, the county guard, Chen Mantang clapped his hands and said that this Ye County Shoucai is not a thing, and if he catches it well, he will save him from harming the people! When Fan Chenglin heard Tang Jiusheng's name, his heart moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation in detail, only to know that it was the Wei Wangfu who sent troops to Jianzhou County.

As soon as Fan Chenglin heard the news, he couldn't sit still anymore, and he had already had the heart to go to the king of Wei, wouldn't this opportunity come? Fan Chenglin told the three members of Chen Mantang's family that he wanted to defect to Tang Jiusheng and avenge his family, and the three members of Chen Mantang's family were all sensible people and expressed their support one after another. Fan Chenglin packed his bags, said goodbye to Engong Chen Mantang's family of three, and rode a black horse to Jianzhou County, going to join Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei.
