Chapter 33: Envy, Hatred, and Parting (9)

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that three gray shadows rushed out of the woods behind Mu Beiting, and they had already arrived in the field in an instant, these three people were Yi Liangwen, Master Tongze and Zhou Chuqing.

The three of them had just arrived on the front foot, and a group of people from behind them also followed. Mu Beiting got up and looked back, only to see that Fan Yujun and the others were also present, and according to a rough estimate, there were as many as sixty or seventy people.

On the other hand, when he saw such a scene, instead of showing fear, he showed a happy smile, and at the same time stood up, stroked his palms and laughed: "Good, good." People call people a thousand voices, goods call people to come from their hands, this "Sujing" is really a magic weapon. ”

Yi Liangwen took a step forward and asked in a deep voice: "Listen to Your Excellency, the invitation I received was written by you?"

The man said calmly: "Yes, the invitations received by all of you present are indeed written and sent by me. When he said this, he suddenly smiled and said, "If I am not like this, how can I invite you all here at the same time?"

Zhou Chuqing could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and immediately shouted: "You thief, where are my wife and young master?"

The man didn't hurriedly answer, but slowly walked down the stone slab, and then bowed deeply to Zhou Chuqing, and said: "Thank you Mr. Zhou for taking care of me for ten years, if you hadn't gone to the fire to save me, I'm afraid I would have become a mass of coke, this kind of kindness, I can't forget it!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chuqing was suddenly stunned, and everyone present also looked sideways at Zhou Chuqing, and they all felt inexplicable in their hearts.

The man smiled slightly, and instantly changed to another tone, and said, "Oh, it's me who is worried, and what the gentleman is familiar with should be this face and accent." ”

He said as he covered the sleeve of his right hand, and after a while, when he lowered the sleeve again, it had changed to a different look. I saw that his thin eyes and nose, slightly yellow skin, and a pair of big ears made his appearance very ugly, compared with his previous appearance, it could be said that he was very different.

After seeing the performance of the big change in front of him, Zhou Chuqing's eyes were almost about to burst out, and at the same time he exclaimed: "Ah! You are... You're Liu Fu! How is this possible!"

Mu Beiting on the side was also shocked, and asked urgently: "Liu Fu, how could it be you? How can you be a widow?!"

There are many people in the crowd who have good friends with the Lin family, and Liu Fuzi, a silly boy who has been sweeping the floor on the "Ten Thousand Books Tower" for many years, has also seen it, and seeing that it was this person who did evil, everyone was stunned, and the field became silent for a while.

It turned out that this incident originated from an old incident ten years ago.

At that time, the Japanese people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were seriously affected, and the local people had been poisoned by the Japanese Ronin for a long time, and the people's livelihood was withered, which was really miserable. At that time, Lin Zongbian, as the leader of the "Jiangsu-Zhejiang Anti-Japanese Alliance", naturally could not sit idly by, so he gathered many martial arts heroes to go to the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to resist the Japanese troubles.

One day, Lin Zongbian received a tip that a group of would-be robbers were wreaking havoc in the town of Qinglong near Ningbo. After getting this news, Lin Zongbian immediately organized the martial arts righteous soldiers to rush to Qinglong Town to rescue, but unfortunately they hurried all the way, after all, it was still half a day late, and when they arrived in Qinglong Town, the town had already been ransacked, and the broken corpses lying everywhere under the ruins and broken walls could be seen, and the tragic situation was really terrifying.

Seeing such a tragic scene, everyone was furious. After Lin Zongbian sent people to identify the path of the Japanese invaders' withdrawal, he immediately chased after them, and after chasing them for a day and a night, he finally intercepted the group of Japanese who were resting in a deserted village.

The two met, without saying much, immediately started to fight, but in just an hour's effort, the group of would-be robbers had already killed and wounded, and the remaining few would-be robbers had to retreat to the dilapidated houses in the village to avoid the battle, and used poisoned hidden weapons to resist stubbornly.

In order to prevent everyone from being harmed by hidden weapons, Lin Zongbian ordered someone to take saltpeter gunpowder and put it near the deserted village, preparing to use a fire to burn the Japanese robbers. When the fire was lit, the deserted village suddenly turned into a sea of fire, but just as the fire was blazing, a cry for help sounded in the fire.

When everyone first heard it, they didn't care, but they cried because they couldn't bear the burning pain, but this cry for help was uninterrupted as soon as it began, so after a long time, Lin Zongbian couldn't help but be suspicious, you must know that all the real Japanese people have always only fought to death, never flinched to discuss peace, and will not cry for mercy because they can't bear the pain, and this cry is still shouted in Chinese with correct words, which makes people feel more and more strange.

Lin Zongbian was suspicious, so he paid more and more attention to the cry for help, and then found that the sound seemed to be made by a child, but he had seen that there were children in the gang before, could it be that there were other innocent people in the abandoned house?

He thought of this, in order to prevent accidentally injuring his beloved, he even explained his worries to everyone, and then turned around and wanted to rush into the fire to rescue the person.

But Zhou Chuqing, who was on the side, was willing to let his young master go to the danger in person, so he hurriedly stopped him, and then took a few skins filled with water, and after getting wet all over his body, he jumped into the fire. After a while, I saw Zhou Chuqing hugging a dark boy and rushing out. Lin Zongbian rushed forward to inspect, but saw that the boy had passed out with thick smoke, and hurriedly examined the boy's body, and after making sure that the boy's body was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his palm to instill a true qi into the boy's body.

The boy got Lin Zongbian's true anger, but after a while, he woke up and turned around, and when everyone saw this, they immediately surrounded him and interrogated him. But the boy seemed to be stupefied by the fire, no matter how others asked, he would not answer the question, and only said the three words "sheep, Yujiazhuang, and dead" back and forth.

Lin Zongbian saw that his symptoms were caused by his impaired mind, and he knew that it would be useless to ask any more, so he waved his hand to everyone and signaled that he would not ask again. But now that he has been rescued from the fire, Lin Zongbian naturally will not abandon him at will, so he took him with him to take care of him. However, adhering to the indispensable purpose of guarding against people, Lin Zongbian was always suspicious of this boy of unknown origin, so according to the name of the place in the boy's mouth, he sent a few people to Yujiazhuang to investigate.

The inquirer was also very efficient, and it took only two days to return with the news, there is indeed a village called Yujiazhuang nearby, but this village was attacked by the Japanese invaders half a year ago, because the villagers fought back at that time, and the Japanese carried out a cruel massacre of the village, and the entire village was destroyed. But fortunately, a few people left the village at that time and were finally spared, and several of these survivors were sheep herders.

After getting this news, Lin Zongbian's suspicions decreased slightly, but he did not completely dispel it, and wanted to wait until the boy's consciousness recovered a little, and then ask him in detail, and immediately took him back to his home to raise him. It's a pity that day after day, month after month, the boy's dementia symptoms have never improved. At the beginning, Lin Zongbian frequently asked about his condition, but after a long time, he forgot about this matter, but Zhou Chuqing always remembered him because he was in danger to save his life, and he took care of him quite a lot on weekdays, and gave him a new name called Liu Fu, which means that if you don't die in a disaster, you will have a blessing.
