Section 6 Midnight Disaster of Soldiers

Liu Yu watched the oil seller carry the burden away, until his back gradually disappeared into the snow. He drew the dagger out of its sheath, only to feel the cold, and the blade was extremely sharp. The handle of the knife is carved from chestnut wood, because of the years, the color is particularly crimson, and it is engraved with the word "Yue" of a seal inscription.

Another day later, a team of chariots and horses came from the direction of Songzhou Fucheng, loaded all the ten corpses at the door of Liu's house into the car and took them away, it is said that they wanted to find the old man of the assassin Shi to repay his merits. As for the missing corpse, Zhu Xun thought of the broken temple outside the village, and led the officials and soldiers to search for it, but found that the entire broken temple had been crushed by the heavy snow. Seeing this, Liu Yu knew that the old monk had left with Song Qiyun, so he was greatly relieved.

The news of the theft of Old Master Liu's house spread throughout Wugou Village, and well-informed people heard that the Liu family had made friends with the characters in the Assassin's Mansion, and they came to visit and greet each other. Zhu Xun's father, Zhu Laoyuan, personally brought two big fat pigs.

Old Master Liu is knowledgeable, but he has never raised pigs. The two pigs snorted in the yard every day, disturbing him. He naturally knew that these news were all revealed by Zhu Xun, this student is very good, and the only bad thing is that he likes to be public.

Zhu Xun has lost his interest in poetry and diction these days, and he often puts down the book to practice the sword book that he got out of nowhere. Liu Yu didn't have the heart to study, and chased the two big fat pigs in the yard all day long. Old Master Liu saw that the two pigs were getting thinner and thinner, so he was so distressed that he took a whip to beat Liu Yu. Liu Yu pulled his legs and fled, and the two of them chased around Wugou Village several times. As a result, Lao Liu was tired and out of breath and couldn't run anymore, and Xiao Liu wandered outside the village, but he never dared to go home. Fu Shi is sandwiched between the old and the young, crying and laughing, embroidering flowers and shoes every day, and living a comfortable and comfortable life.

More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Wugou Village has returned to its former tranquility. On this day, the family slept until midnight. Liu Yu faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the sound came from the north. After a while, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the east, and then in the west and south. Liu Yu rolled out of bed and woke up the whole family.

The four members of the family hurriedly got dressed, and in a moment, the sound of hooves on all sides was getting closer and closer, and the native dogs in the village were barking. Zhu Xun exclaimed: "Our village is surrounded by soldiers and horses!" said that he was in a hurry to run to the horse shed, and wanted to bring out the two big horses left by the oil seller. Old Master Liu was flustered and cleaned up the house, but was grabbed by Fu Shi and said, "When is it, my life is at stake, I don't want it all!"

At this time, people were crying and neighing in all directions, and it was already a mess. The firelight reflected the window paper, Liu Yu pushed open the window, only to see a large group of soldiers and horses surrounding Wugou Village, the houses in the village were on fire, the cries of women and children came and went, and dozens of soldiers rode back and forth on horses. At this time, I only heard a woman's delicate voice shouting: "Catch this family, don't let you escape." "Look at it again, it's not who Xue Hongmei is, there is another person next to her, it is her senior brother Tang Feng, it turns out that these two thieves and men and women came to Wugou Village to take revenge.

Liu Yu was taken aback, and Old Master Liu turned pale with fright. Fu Shi said in a low voice: "The child is his father, you take the baby to ride on the horse from the back door and run quickly, I am a woman's family, forgive them and they will not treat me well." Old Master Liu said: "Nonsense! If we want to go together, how can I leave you alone." As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers threw torches and set fire to their tiled houses.

While the three of them were talking, Zhu Xun had already arrived with two horses. Old Master Liu was quite heavy, so he rode the dark cloud covered snow horse with Zhu Xun. Fu Shi and Liu Yu rode on white horses, and the four of them rode out in the fire and smoke. Liu Yu sat on the back of the horse, feeling very stable, and was surprised for a while. I thought that my mother Fu Shi had been doing housework all day long, sewing and mending all her life, and she was able to drive the white horse under her crotch well.

Seeing this, a military attache shouted in the light of the fire, "Stop those two horses, don't let them go!" Four or five soldiers rushed up. Zhu Xun has been practicing martial arts every day these days, and his courage has grown a lot. He sat on horseback and took a rough log by the side of the road, and threw it at the soldiers. Several of the soldiers couldn't dodge, their heads were bleeding, and they screamed out of the way. Fu Shi chose a place with few people to go, and the white horse under her crotch moved and jumped, leaving behind many besieging soldiers.

Xue Hongmei was directing the soldiers to burn the house, when she suddenly saw Zhu Xun and Old Master Liu running on their beloved dark cloud covered snow horse, screaming happily, and shouted at Tang Feng: "Senior brother, stop them with me, don't let them run away!" Tang Feng said: "Okay, after catching the horse, kill them all!" As he spoke, his legs were clamped, and the horse under his crotch was in pain, and galloped away in the direction of Liu Chongfu and the others.

Fu Shi couldn't get rid of it, and shouted urgently at Old Master Liu: "Father, child, if it goes on like this, none of us will be able to escape." You two go to the west, my son and I go to the east, and we will meet in Songzhou Mansion. Old Master Liu said: "Okay, when the time comes, find Yue Daxia, and it's not too late for us to come back to take revenge!" After speaking, the four of them fled separately, and the dark cloud covered snow horse under the crotch of Zhu Xun and Liu Laofu was very strong, although it was carrying the two of them, it ran fast. After a while, Tang Feng and the others who were chasing from the rear were thrown far away.

Seeing this, Fu Shi was greatly relieved, and immediately rode his horse and whip to the east. The two of them ran for about a cup of tea, only to see the soldiers chasing after them getting closer and closer. Fu Shi gritted his teeth and waved the whip in his hand, and the horse suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the woods on the mountain. The two of them had gone a short distance, and in the moonlight they saw a small mountain temple, so they dismounted.

Fu Shi whipped the horse's buttocks hard, and the white horse neighed and ran straight into the woods in front of him. From behind came the shouts of the soldiers: "Chase, the horse is going east!"

The mother and son hid in the mountain temple, only to feel that it was cold everywhere, and the earthen walls around them had cracked, and the cold wind poured in through the cracks in the wall. Fu Shi hugged Liu Yu tightly in his arms, and there were words in his mouth. Liu Yu asked, "Mother, what are you reading?" Fu said: "Mother is thinking about what she learned many years ago, and after more than ten years, she almost can't remember it." After that, he lowered his head and remembered silently.

At this time, two figures came in at the door, and one of them said: "Brother Li Xian, let's rest for a while, so many people have gone to chase after us, not the two of us." The other answered, "Yes, Brother Wang." You say how can that girl run so fast with a child? So many big men have been chasing for so long and haven't caught up, but it's a shame to die. ”

The surnamed Wang said: "I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, I'm afraid that Miss Xue will blame her." You also know that Miss Xue is usually the most favored by Mr. Cui, and her temper is greatly bad. If we can't bring people back this time, we don't know what to do!" he sighed.

The man surnamed Li said: "Brother Wang, don't sigh. No matter how big the matter is, a dozen people are responsible for it, and it's not just the two of us. The man surnamed Wang said: "Brother Li Xian, have you forgotten that last time in Yunzhou Mansion, thirteen brothers found good rouge gouache in a big family, but they didn't pay filial piety to Miss Xue after they went back." As a result, Miss Xue punished them for standing in the pond with a tank on top of them all night, and if Mr. Cui hadn't stopped drinking, Miss Xue would have punished them to continue standing. The man surnamed Li said: "Yes, just like this, Brother Dong still didn't survive and lost his life." He also blamed himself, it was he who was shouting to keep those rouge gouaches, saying that he was looking for an opportunity to go to the hook bar to give him the good friend. In the future, you and I have to be careful in front of Miss Xue, don't make this aunt unhappy. ”

The man surnamed Wang said: "In such a troubled world now, you still have to bow your head when you should bow your head." As long as you can live, even if you pretend to be a grandson. However, this time, Wang expected that even if she couldn't do it, Miss Xue wouldn't dare to do anything to us. After all, she and Tang Gongzi secretly led the troops behind Mr. Cui's back, and they didn't dare to make too much trouble. The man surnamed Li said: "Brother Wang, what kind of person do you say will make Miss Xue and Tang Gongzi so unhappy, and they have to lead troops to arrest them to relieve their anger?"

The man surnamed Wang said: "Brother Li Xian, you must have been drunk that day. Miss Xue and Tang Gongzi went out for a walk, and I heard that it was in the village in front of them that they were humiliated by the eagle talon of the imperial court, and even lost their horses. After Mr. Cui saw them, he was angry and said, leaving such a person outside, he was no longer qualified to be his apprentice. said that Miss Xue and Tang Gongzi knelt on the ground and couldn't raise their heads, so they made this ruthless decision. Miss Xue even took out more than 200 taels of silver from her savings and distributed them to her brothers, which is why so many brothers were willing to come to seek revenge with their brothers and sisters. ”

The surnamed Li slapped his thigh and said, "I say, who doesn't open his eyes would find such a poor village to scrape oil." More than a dozen houses were burned, but nothing of value was found. It turns out that there are so many reasons in the middle, Brother Wang, you are worthy of being a know-it-all in the camp, as long as you are asked everything, there is really nothing you don't understand!" The surnamed Wang waved his hand again and again, and said humbly: "Where, where, Wang is just the most fond of making friends, so he can eat more among the brothers." My brothers love to tell me about anything, and as long as I can help, it must be my duty. Therefore, when it comes to being a human being, the most important thing is righteousness, and we must not win people's love. For example, if you want to take the concubine of General Wang, he will definitely cut off your head, and he will never spare you. ”

When the surnamed Li heard this, he smiled and said, "General Wang's concubines are like flowers and jade, which brother in the army is not greedy when he sees them." Brother is not that blessed, otherwise, even if it is only for one night...... Once, that's worth it, hehe. ”

The man surnamed Wang said: "Brother Li Xian, you are always so unserious, talking nonsense, be careful of flying into trouble." In fact, what Wang wanted to say was that the girl with the child just now was riding only Senior Brother Tang's white horse. As for Miss Xue's dark cloud covered snow horse, it should be the other two people who rode to the west. Senior Brother Tang's white horse is not a good breed, but it was just chosen at random and matched with Miss Xue's black horse, and he probably didn't take it to heart. That's why Wang dared not to chase, if Miss Xue's BMW, you and my brother dared not to chase, but stayed here to be lazy and slippery, then it would really be dead and there would be no place to bury. ”

The man surnamed Li said: "I know that it is definitely not wrong to follow Brother Wang." After being a brother, follow the ......" words may not be, and there was a snap in the room. The person surnamed Wang hurriedly poked the one surnamed Li, and said in a low voice: "Brother Li Xian, there may be others in this temple." ”

The surnamed Li became excited when he heard this, and said: "Brother Wang, didn't the girl and the child go, the person in front of me chased just an empty horse, you and I will go in and explore her." With that, he drew the knife from his waist.
