At night, there are stars and bright moons.

The faint moonlight shone on the earth and on the woods. There was a wide road in the middle of the woods, and the road was very long, but there was not a single pedestrian on the road, and it seemed very quiet.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of horses, and in a moment a carriage appeared on the road, and a black steed led a cart speeding down the deserted road.

Driving the car was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was holding the reins in one hand and a horsewhip in the other, constantly whipping the black steed. The horse scrambled forward under his whip.

"How far is it?" asked a man in the car with the curtain open.

"Master, it's almost here," the driver said respectfully.

The man in the carriage pulled the curtain again, and there were two people in the carriage, an adult and a child.

There was also a small table in the carriage, on which was placed a lantern, and in the lantern a candle was lit.

The child in the carriage asked, "Daddy, where are we going?"

The man pondered for a while and said, "Tianlei, tonight, go to your aunt's house." ”

The child was so happy that he hurriedly jumped down from the chair: "Great, I'm about to see my aunt, I haven't eaten the pastry my aunt made for me for a long time." ”

Suddenly, the carriage shook, and the child's body pedaled backwards and took three steps backwards, and the man hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Look at you, you were so careless, you almost fell," the man glared at him.

The child said disapprehantly: "It's not my fault, it's my uncle's fault for not catching the car." ”

The man pulled the curtain and asked, "What's the matter with Ding Gui?"

"Oh, master, I was squinted by the dust just now, and I didn't see the road clearly, please forgive me," Ding Gui said seriously.

The man in the car didn't blame him, after all, Li Gui had followed him for decades, and he was usually very obedient and very serious in his work. From a small fireman, he became Ding Zhuan's housekeeper step by step.

It turned out that the two people in the car were a father and son.

The older one is Ding Yunjian, a famous hero in the rivers and lakes.

Ding Yunjian was not famous before, and few people in the rivers and lakes knew him.

But just three years ago, Ding Yunjian didn't know where the money came from, so he bought a large piece of land and built many luxurious houses on the land, named Ding Yunzhuang.

Some poor people in the rivers and lakes went to look for him, and he was very happy to receive them, and those who were willing to stay had something to eat, and those who were willing to leave gave them silver.

Gradually, the people in the rivers and lakes gave him a nickname, Ding Dashan or Ding Million.

Ding Yunjian's money seems to be very much, and he can't spend it all. The so-called excessive amount of money will inevitably arouse the concern of some people, especially some petty thieves.

One night, these little thieves infiltrated Ding Yunzhuang and stole a large amount of gold and silver treasures, which were worth tens of thousands of taels of gold, according to people.

But Ding Yunjian didn't care, it was still the same as before, and he still spent what he should spend.

Just left some small thieves, and another batch of small thieves came, but these people were discovered by Ding Yunjian as soon as they entered Ding Yunzhuang.

These little thieves all held swords in their hands to fight with Ding Yunjian, Ding Yunjian pulled out his sword, and knocked down the swords in the hands of these thieves with only one move, and they all ran away in fright.

The famous thieves in the rivers and lakes have also been to Ding Yunzhuang, but they are not Ding Yunjian's opponents.

Then there was a rumor in the rivers and lakes that Ding Yunjian not only had a treasure map in his hand, but also got a peerless sword book in the place where the treasure was hidden, and this sword book was the long-lost "Nebula Sword Pu" in the rivers and lakes, no matter who got this sword book, he could become a peerless master.

The major famous and decent people in the rivers and lakes also came to Ding Yunzhuang, nominally to find him to learn martial arts, but in fact to find him, treasure maps and sword books. Everyone comes here to look around, sneaky, every place in the manor has to be seen, even the thatched house is not missed, but also to check.

Ding Yunjian naturally understood that he was very tired of this kind of life. He was in a trance for the past few days, as if something was going to happen. Every time he saw his son, he was a little worried, worried that others would hurt his son, so he thought of a way, which was to take his son to a place, a place that most people in the rivers and lakes did not know.

After a short while, the carriage stopped, Ding Gui got out of the carriage, and said, "Master, we have arrived." ”

Ding Yunjian jumped down from the carriage, and then reached out to hug Ding Tianlei, Ding Yunjian said, "Go knock on the door." ”

Ding Gui walked to the door of a house, knocked on the door three times, and the door opened immediately.

The door was opened by a middle-aged woman with a beautiful face and a slender body. The middle-aged woman said, "Brother, you are here, we have been waiting for a long time." ”

Ding Yunjian walked into the door, Ding Gui also walked in, and the middle-aged woman hurriedly closed the door.

Ding Yunjian said as he walked, "Sister Yunrou has made you wait for a long time. ”

It turned out that this woman was Ding Yunjian's own sister, named Ding Yunrou. Ding Yunrou's name is naturally not as loud as his brother's, and even few people in the rivers and lakes know her. Ding Yunrou married a son of the Li family named Li Lanshan. Although Li Lanshan is a son of a famous family, his family is already very poor in Li Lanshan's generation.

"What did my brother say, oh Tianlei come and let my aunt hold it, okay?" Ding Yunrou looked at Ding Tianlei with a smile.

Ding Tianlei also smiled: "Auntie, I can see you" and stretched out his hand as he spoke.

Ding Yunrou took Ding Tianlei and said, "I didn't expect that I hadn't seen Tianlei for a few months, and you had grown so tall and heavy." ”

A few people said and came to the house.

Li Lanshan saw that a few people were coming, and said with a smile: "Big brother, Steward Ding, you are here, please sit down." ”

Several people sat down one after another, and Ding Yunjian said with a smile: "Tianlei will trouble you and your wife to take care of it for a few days." ”

"Whatever the eldest brother says, we will definitely take care of Tianlei," Li Lanshan said seriously.

Li Lanshan's family is poor, and Li Yunjian naturally helped him a lot. Every time Li Lanshan and his wife went to Ding Yunzhuang, Ding Yunjian would give them some silver taels. Li Lanshan heard that this time the eldest brother wanted to let the couple take care of Ding Tianlei for a few days, and he was naturally very happy.

Bi Jing Ding Yunjian didn't help them less, this time it was an opportunity to repay the favor, Li Lanshan originally thought that there was no such opportunity, after all, Li Yunjian's family was rich, and his martial arts were good, this time he felt a little strange, but he was embarrassed to ask.

Ding Yunjian seemed to see his thoughts, so he explained: "I have been restless for the past few days, it seems that something big is going to happen in Ding Yunzhuang, so I let Tianlei stay at your house for a few days." ”

Li Lanshan didn't understand even more: "Is the eldest brother too worried?"

Ding Yunrou also said: "Even if someone wants to trouble the eldest brother, listening to the eldest brother's martial arts, they will naturally be able to deal with it." ”

Ding Yunjian didn't answer, he stood up, came to the door, looked outside, seemed to think about it, and then turned around and said, "I don't know this, when I dealt with those Jiangyang thieves back then, I never had this feeling of upset, but this time it was different." ”

Ding Yunrou said with concern: "Big brother, you must take care of your body, the sky thunder is here, you can rest assured." ”

Ding Yunjian walked a few steps to Ding Tianlei's side, squatted down and hugged Ding Tianlei, and after a long time he let go of his hand and said, "Tianlei must be well-behaved here, and he must listen to his aunt and brother-in-law." ”

"I will, Daddy, don't worry, oh yes, when will Daddy pick me up" Ding Tianlei looked at him with innocent eyes.
