2. Ask the leader of the letter alliance to recall the old things, and don't leave his hometown to fly on a new journey

The night is dark, but Yujiazhuang is still brightly lit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ah Fei saw that Liu Yusleeve had been leading the way in front, and without saying a word, he quickly stepped forward and shook the fish in his hand towards Liu Yusleeve: "Sister-in-law, I have two fish here, caught in the river." One for you and one for grandpa, how about it?"

"I don't want it, leave it all to grandpa. Liu Yusleeve waved his hand and stopped, "The three guests are from Yunzhuang, they are all friends from the rivers and lakes, you should be polite when you speak, so as not to make people think that our Yujiazhuang is rude."

Ah Fei scratched his head and said, "Oh, I know. Sister-in-law, I thought you were angry that I went to play in the river. ”

"Why are you angry with me when you go out to play, when have you been honest at home? Don't think that if I'm not by your side every day, I don't know what you're doing every day, as long as you don't leave your martial arts practice behind, you can play as you want." But as the little master of our Yujiazhuang, you should be the same when you talk and do things, otherwise you will embarrass our family, you can remember it for me!" Liu Yusleeve poked Ah Fei's head with his finger, "Grandpa should still be practicing in the back garden, you go there to find him." I won't go with you. ”

"Okay, sister-in-law, what is grandpa looking for me?" Ah Fei asked.

Liu Yusleeve lifted the fish from Ah Fei's hand and said, "How do I know, grandpa didn't say it." I'll take your fish, and I'll ask the cook to cook a fish soup and send it to the old man's house for him to taste. Go ahead. ”

Ah Fei answered, said goodbye to his sister-in-law, and walked to the back garden, wondering if his grandfather was going to take him out hunting again. Last autumn, Ah Fei followed his grandfather to hunt in the southern woods and shot a wild boar alone. It was the first time he had hunted a big beast, and his heart was beautiful for days. Since then, Ah Fei has been looking forward to the day when his grandfather will take him to hunt in the woods, so when he is usually fine, he often shoots birds outside the village with a bow and crossbow to practice accuracy. Ah Fei is now almost an arrow that misses, as long as he can hear the sound of the bowstring, he can see the birds and beasts falling. He felt that he had almost practiced his marksmanship, and he was very anxious when he was waiting for the day when he could show off his skills when he was hunting.

At the thought of hunting, Ah Fei was full of energy, and his steps were faster. "Grandpa, grandpa, I'm here!" Ah Fei shouted and ran into the back garden, but there was no one in the back garden. Ah Fei thought that his grandfather Yu Wanting might have gone back to the house to rest, so he wanted to go to his residence to find him. But as soon as he turned around to leave, Ah Fei heard the sound of a sword breaking through the wind behind him, so he hurriedly dodged sideways. Unexpectedly, the person behind him also followed up in stride, slashing three times in a row.

These three knives came very fast, Ah Fei listened to the wind, first leaned over to dodge the first knife, and then tiptoed his right foot a little, turned over in the air, dodged the last two knives, and when he fell, the whole person stepped directly on the back of the knife.

"Grandpa, are you going to hack me to death?" Ah Fei said as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Hahaha, stinky boy, I haven't tried your martial arts for a few days, and your body seems to have grown again. "It turned out that the person who made the knife behind the sneak attack was Ah Fei's grandfather, Yu Wanting, the owner of Yujiazhuang.

Ah Fei jumped down from the back of the knife and shouted, "Are you trying your martial arts, every time you cut people to death." Grandpa, what if you hack me to death?" Yu Wanting smiled: "What nonsense, I have my own measure." Besides, if you don't get it real, how can you see if your martial arts have grown, hehehe. Ah Fei said disdainfully: "What can you try? I don't have any guy in my hand, you purple gold knife beckoned, I don't even have a chance to parry, I can only dodge, how can I try any martial arts." ”

Yu Wanting patted Ah Fei on the shoulder and said, "Haha, then I'll give you the knife, how about we compare again?" Ah Fei shook his head and said: "Don't, it must be that you took the knife away as soon as I made a move, and then you cut me, don't do it." ”

"Hahaha, who told you that you can't beat me, you deserve to be cut down. Our family's mastery is the thirty-six thunder-breaking knife method, which is a steady and fierce path. It's good that you don't practice swordsmanship well, but you practice light skills hard, so you have to come the other way and take a fast and light path, and you can be regarded as an outlier of our Yu family. ”

"My good grandfather, don't talk about it, you don't know how many times you've said this set of words. You said that our Yu family took a steady and strong path, but sister-in-law is not. ”

"Your sister-in-law with jade sleeves was not our Yu family before she got married, and she didn't learn the kung fu of our Yu family. Besides, even if you take the light path, if you can have a good martial arts like your sister-in-law, you will know how to play every day-"

Ah Fei saw that Yu Wanting was about to ramble again, so he hurriedly intercepted the conversation: "Ah, grandpa, sister-in-law said that you are looking for me, what is the matter, is it going to hunt again, I can leave if I have nothing to do." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, something, something, look at my memory. Yu Wanting slapped his forehead and said, "You know how to play, it's March, the season when everything grows, what kind of hunting, aren't you afraid of being struck by thunder?" That, there are three guests in the village today, all of whom are the apprentices of Zhang Fangzhou Zhang Daxia of Yunzhuang. Tomorrow, when they leave, you set off with them and send a letter to Zhang Daxia on my behalf, I have already said it to the three of them. Well, the letter is in my study, so come with me to get it. ”

Yu Wanting didn't wait for Ah Fei to answer, so he carried the purple gold knife and took Ah Fei's hand and walked out of the back garden.

"Grandpa, isn't it just a letter, why do you have to send it? Ah Fei was puzzled.

Yu Wanting didn't answer Ah Fei, looked up at the lantern with the word "Yu" written on it high in the village, and muttered for a while before speaking: "Grandson, grandpa will tell you something." You're not too young now, and I can tell you something. There is a Jiangning Mansion not far from Hangzhou, and now that place is also called Shengzhou, and there is a gang called the Tianwang Gang where the helm is located. More than ten years ago, the Heavenly Kings Gang elected a new gang leader named Wang Guanru. This Wang gang leader is very powerful, and in a few years, he has brought the Tianwang Gang into the number one gang in Jiangnan. When the crown saw that his Heavenly King Gang had grown, he wanted to unify the martial arts and command the heroes. Our Yujiazhuang still has some prestige in Jiangnan Wulin, and he can speak well in the rivers and lakes, so his Tianwang Gang regards us as a thorn in the side and opposes our Yu family everywhere. ”

"At the beginning, the Tianwang Gang also sent some unknown juniors to make trouble in the village, or did evil in Hangzhou under the banner of our Yujiazhuang. These scoundrels who came to make trouble were basically taught a lesson by your father. Your father was known as the 'Jiangnan Sword King' back then, so it is naturally not a problem to clean up these little minions. Later, Wu Renyi, the elder of the Tianwang Gang, heard that those who went back to report that your father was powerful, so he asked your father to compete by the West Lake. At that time, your mother was pregnant with you, after this accident, she had a fetal gas and was born prematurely, although in the end you survived, but your mother followed your father away......" Yu Wanting remembered the loss of his son and daughter-in-law back then, and couldn't help but feel sad, and his voice was choked.

Ah Fei looked at Yu Wanting, didn't say anything for a long time, just held Yu Wanting's hand tightly, and looked at him as he walked.

"After this incident, we and the Liangzi of the Tianwang Gang have become deeper and deeper, and the movements of the Tianwang Gang on the rivers and lakes are getting bigger and bigger, causing the Jiangnan Gang to complain. At the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference ten years ago, Jiangnan Qunhao worked together to deal with the Tianwang Gang and injured many masters of the Tianwang Gang. After the martial arts conference, the Tianwang Gang was greatly injured, and after that, it was rare to hear the news of the Tianwang Gang on the rivers and lakes. I thought that Wang Guanru would put away his ambitions after that heavy blow, but I didn't expect that the Heavenly King Gang was about to move again recently, and wanted to provoke a fight between our Yujiazhuang and Yunzhuang, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman. While speaking, Yu Wanting had already led Ah Fei into the room, "Girl, you go to the study and bring the letter on the table." Yu Wanting said to the maid in the house.

"Yes. Old lady, here is the fresh fish soup from the kitchen, just delivered, you can taste it while it's hot. The fish was caught by the young master himself. Ah Fei smiled at her when he heard the maid mention him.

"Good. Yu Wanting sat down and put the purple gold knife aside.

"Grandpa, what about my eldest brother...... How he died. ”

"Your big brother...... Your eldest brother was injured by Wu Renyi at the martial arts conference, and he didn't recuperate, and then left, but he took pity on your sister-in-law with jade sleeves, who became a widow not long after she got married. ”

As she spoke, the maid took the letter: "Old lady, letter." ”

"Okay, there's nothing going on tonight, you can go back to the house and rest. Yu Wanting took the letter, said to the maid, and then handed the letter to Ah Fei, "Ah Fei, you can take this letter." Our Jiangnan Yu family went to me, but you are the only man left. I don't want you to avenge your father and your eldest brother, I just want you to live well and keep the family business of our Lao Yu family for more than 100 years. But in the rivers and lakes, if you want to protect yourself, you must have a good martial arts. Now that you are by my side, your sister-in-law and I are spoiling you, and the people in the village are also protecting you, your martial arts have not made much progress. But now that the Tianwang Gang is raising its head on the rivers and lakes again, I am really afraid that one day you will also be harmed by the people of the Tianwang Gang, so I thought about it and planned to send you to Yunzhuang to learn art. ”

"So, the content of this letter is to ask the owner of Yunzhuang to let me learn art in Yunzhuang?" Ah Fei asked, looking at the letter in his hand. Yu Wanting said: "Yes, I asked Zhang Daxia to leave you to practice martial arts in Yunzhuang, he should give me a face and leave you in Baiyun Peak." You must practice hard in Yunzhuang, don't mess around, don't lose the face of our Yujiazhuang. After that, Yu Wanting picked up the purple gold knife, took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Ah Fei: "This knife is a family heirloom treasure knife, this is a thirty-six-style thunder-breaking knife knife spectrum, you can take it all, go to Baiyun Peak, you must study patiently, and you can't fall behind." If you don't understand something, you can ask Zhang Daxia or his first apprentice Xu Yun Xu Shaoxia, except for the two of them, don't let the people next to you see this sword spectrum, after all, this is a family martial arts, remember it. ”

Ah Fei frowned and took the knife spectrum, and put the knife spectrum into his arms, but he didn't take the purple gold knife for a long time: "Grandpa, you still keep this knife for yourself, it's weird, you can't use it lightly on your back, I'll just find a knife to practice." ”

Yu Wanting listened to Ah Fei's words, and suddenly became angry, slapped the table and said angrily: "Nonsense! This thunder-breaking knife technique has to be practiced with a purple gold knife! This knife technique is passed down from our ancestors, I use this knife to practice, and your father and your eldest brother also use this knife to practice, do you want this knife technique to break the root in your hands? Light skill, light skill, you only know light skill, do you only have to smear the soles of our feet when we fight with others! You bring me the knife!"

Ah Fei had never seen Yu Wanting lose his temper at him, so he couldn't help but be afraid, so he hurriedly agreed with an "oh" and took the knife.

"Grandpa, I got the letter, then I'll go first. Ah Fei said in a low voice.

"Let's go, get some rest, you're going to go out tomorrow." ”

"Okay, grandpa, then I'll go first, don't forget to drink the soup, I caught the fish, it's fresh." With that, Ah Fei held the knife in both hands, retreated, and helped Yu Wanting close the door.

Yu Wanting saw Ah Fei leave, sighed, and slowly scooped a spoonful of fish soup into his mouth.

The soup is fresh and delicious – it's made from the fish that my grandson caught – and I won't be able to drink it for a long time.

Thinking of this, Yu Wanting's tears that he had been holding back for a long time still welled up.

Outside the door, Ah Fei sat on the ground with a knife in his hand, and the words that his grandfather said tonight kept echoing in his ears. The cause of death of the Heavenly King Gang, Father and Mother and eldest brother in Jiangning Mansion, as well as the hateful Heavenly King Gang elder Wu Renyi, Ah Fei heard a lot of things tonight that he never knew. The more important thing is that tomorrow he will leave home and leave Yujiazhuang, where he has been living, to go to Baiyun Peak to learn martial arts. I don't know when I'll be able to come back. Maybe by the time I come back, my sister-in-law will be as old as my grandfather.

Thinking that his sister-in-law had become as full of gray hair as his grandfather, Ah Fei smiled. "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I should say goodbye to my sister-in-law now. Ah Fei thought to himself. Since he became sensible, Ah Fei only had two relatives around him, grandfather Yu Wanting and sister-in-law Liu Yusleeve. He has never seen his father and mother, he only has some vague impressions of his eldest brother, and he can't remember his appearance, and his grandfather was busy when he was a child, and only his sister-in-law took care of him. Ah Fei didn't know what it was like for his father to love his mother, but he felt that his sister-in-law's kindness to him should be similar to that of his father's kindness to his son.

Ah Fei saw that it was not too early, for fear that Liu Yusleeve would rest, so he hurriedly carried the purple gold knife and went to Liu Yusleeve's residence.

"Is my sister-in-law asleep?" Ah Fei asked when he saw that Liu Yusleeve's personal girl was about to close the door.

"Ah Fei, I didn't sleep, come in. Before the little girl could answer, Liu Yusleeve's voice came from inside the house.

Liu Yusleeve was standing leaning against the wall, still holding a book in his hand, and when he saw Ah Fei coming in, he said, "What are you looking for me?" Yo, why are you still carrying the purple gold knife on your body, does grandpa want you to start practicing the knife technique tomorrow?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to Yunzhuang with those three people tomorrow, I'll talk to you. ”

Liu Yusleeve was shocked when he heard Ah Fei's words, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing in Yunzhuang?"

"Grandpa asked me to go to Baiyun Peak to practice martial arts with the disciples of Yunzhuang. No, the purple gold knife was given to me. Ah Fei sat down, put down the knife, took out the knife spectrum in his arms, and continued, "Look, the knife spectrum has been given to me." ”

Liu Yusleeve saw Ah Fei take out the knife book, and quickly stepped forward and stuffed the knife book back into Ah Fei's arms: "You quickly put this thing away, don't take it out so casually." You don't think of it as a treasure, but you don't know how many people in this world want it. What did Grandpa say to you just now, how old are you, why can he bear to let you go to Yunzhuang alone?"

Ah Fei sighed and said: "Alas, grandpa said that I can't practice martial arts well at home, saying that someone in Yunzhuang takes care of me, and I can grow." Sister-in-law, I don't want to leave, look at the two men who came to our village, they are strange, and it must not be fun to stay in Yunzhuang. If I stay in Yunzhuang for a year and a half, I will suffocate to death. Sister-in-law, how long do you say I'll stay in Yunzhuang, if I don't come back for a long time, will you pick me up?"

"Okay, I'm afraid that grandpa won't let me pick you up when the time comes. Liu Yusleeve said with a smile, "Ah Fei, tomorrow my sister-in-law will be busy with things in Zhuangzi, I can't send you off, you should be careful on the road, you must be obedient when you go to Baiyun Peak, and come back from practicing good martial arts." Your light skills are already very decent, don't throw it away, and you have to study and practice hard with that thunder-breaking knife. By the way, you must keep the knife score, don't show it to outsiders, after all, it is our family's kung fu, don't let others learn it. ”

"Well, I know, but grandpa said that if there is something you don't understand in the knife spectrum, you can ask Zhang Daxia and his first apprentice Xu Yun Xu Shaoxia. Sister-in-law, you won't let me show it to others, who am I listening to?"

"Hmm......" Liu Yusleeve seemed to remember something after listening to Ah Fei's words, and didn't respond for a while.

"Sister-in-law, did you listen to me?" Ah Fei asked when he saw that Liu Yusleeve was unresponsive.

"Oh, of course it's Grandpa, these two people...... These two people must be the ones that Grandpa trusts. ”

"Alas, sister-in-law, you must be too tired and distracted. I won't bother you, you can rest early. Ah Fei stood up and carried the purple gold knife again, "This knife is heavy enough, and carrying it on the road should be a heavy weight to practice light skills." ”

"Ah Fei......" Liu Yusleeve stopped talking.

"What's the matter, sister-in-law?"

"It's okay, you go back to the house and rest. ”

"Okay, sister-in-law, you should rest early, don't read. Ah Fei said and pushed open the door and strode out.

Liu Yusleeve stood at the door, watched Ah Fei leave, distracted, and closed the door after a long time and went back to the house to sit down. "Well, it's been ten years, but I didn't expect that I would live here for ten years......," she muttered, clutching the book in her hand.

Early the next morning, Ah Fei followed Yu Wanting to the guest hall to meet the three disciples of Yunzhuang, although Ah Fei had met the three of them twice before, but it was not until this time that they exchanged their names.

After some greetings, Yu Wanting said: "Three young heroes, I have already delivered the letter to Zhang Daxia to my grandson, and I will let him go back to Baiyun Peak with you today." My grandson doesn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes, so please take care of the three of you on the road, hahaha. Qin Zun arched his hand and said: "Where does the alliance leader say, since he is the beloved grandson of the alliance leader, we should protect him thoroughly, and please let the alliance leader be relieved." I don't know if the alliance leader has anything to explain to the juniors, if not, the juniors plan to leave early, so that they can return to Baiyun Peak to restore the master's order. ”

"Okay, okay, it's important to hurry, but please wait a moment. Yu Wanting got up and clapped his hands outside the door, "Come on, bring up the things." Qin Zun and the others were thinking about themselves, but they saw a maid carrying a package into the house and placing it in front of the three of them. "The three young heroes came suddenly, and they were about to leave today, and the old man didn't know what to send the three for a while. Yesterday, I heard Zhou Kun and Zhou Shaoxia praise the delicious pastries on our village, so I asked the white case chef to make some - our white case master here is very famous in Hangzhou - all wrapped in this package, and left it for a few people to eat as snacks on the road. Zhou Kun heard Yu Wanting's words and hurriedly said: "Thank you seniors, the juniors just mentioned it casually yesterday, and the seniors took it to heart, juniors...... Junior...... That one...... Thank you Yu senior!" Zhou Kun was born in a fishing family since he was a child, he was a rough man, and he was not very good at talking about the scene, but today he saw that the leader of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance, who was high in the hearts of the people of the rivers and lakes, was so friendly to him that he was so excited that he stammered a little when he spoke, and he could only thank him vigorously. Seeing Zhou Kun like this, Qin Zun couldn't help but feel embarrassed, thinking that this fifth junior brother was there to thank Yu Wanting for a bag of food, which was really a loss of Yunzhuang's face.

And Zhang Yuting on the side also sat there and bowed her head and didn't speak, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhou Kun doing this. She just thought that she said a few angry words yesterday when Zhou Kunkua was so delicious, and there seemed to be a dislike for Yujiazhuang in her words. She thought that since Yu Wanting heard Zhou Kun's words, he must have also heard the words he said, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and his face burned for a while.

After Zhou Kun thanked Yu Wanting, everyone left the living room. Qin Zun, Zhou Kun, Zhang Yuting and A Fei left Yujiazhuang accompanied by Yu Wanting. Yu Wanting held Ah Fei's hand all the way, but he didn't tell Ah Fei anything more, just chatting with Qin Zun about some anecdotes on the rivers and lakes.

Ah Fei wanted to ask Yu Wanting how the fish soup tasted last night, but he saw that his grandfather and Qin Zun had a good conversation, and he couldn't interject at all, so he didn't ask. On the way, Ah Fei looked at everything in the village, thinking that he was about to leave Yujiazhuang and step into the unknown rivers and lakes, his heart beat faster and faster. At the moment when he walked out of the village, Ah Fei felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and his head was buzzing.

"Ah Fei, when you go out, do more chivalrous things, don't ruin the reputation of our Hangzhou Yu family for so many years. Remember, you are Yu Fei from Yujiazhuang, Hangzhou. Outside the Zhuang Gate, after saying goodbye to everyone, Yu Wanting touched Ah Fei's head and said suddenly.

"Yes. Ah Fei stroked his chest and replied.

"Go ahead. Yu Wanting stroked his long beard and smiled.

So, Yu Fei, who was only thirteen years old in Hangzhou Yujiazhuang, left home with the ancestral purple gold knife on his back.
