It was a winter morning, and the dry air seemed to freeze and crack the flesh and skin, and the endless north wind howled one after another, which made the poor feel even more miserable. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThere is a small town on the west bank of the Bahe River, where most of the local people are fishing, but in such a cold winter, the river has long been frozen, and this season is also a natural fishing season for fishermen.

Therefore, there were many boats moored along the Bahe River, and at this time, the capital on the west bank of the Bahe River was riding a carriage painted with vermilion wood lacquer, crossing the Bahe Bridge, and was about to enter the entrance of the Bahe Town, when suddenly his carriage was stopped by an unkempt little female beggar. So he stepped out of the carriage and walked up to the little beggar, looked at her with great sympathy, and asked:

"Little girl, is there anything you need help with your uncle?"

Before the little beggar could speak, she burst into tears, "My lord, please do well, give me some money!" she sobbed and said, "My mother is very sick and is about to die, but I am penniless and cannot afford to hire a doctor or see a doctor." ”

"Oh, I see. Jin Duhu nodded quietly, "Okay." As he spoke, he instructed the coachman, "Ah Fu, how much money do you have, I came out in a hurry today, and I forgot to bring the money!"

"I only have twenty taels of silver on me, my lord!"

"Very well!" he said, "you give it all to me, and I'll give it back to you when I get back." ”

"What, sir!" said the coachman, "twenty taels of silver, not worth mentioning!" he said, and gave the money into his hand.

The little beggar took the silver and was very grateful, "Thank you, sir," she immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the two of them, and said in a loud voice, "Thank you, thank you, sir!"

"Go back quickly, give your mother, and ask the doctor to see a doctor!" said Jin Duhu.

So the little girl got up, turned and ran back excitedly, and was about to get into the carriage and leave. Suddenly, a man in a straw hat walked up to him with his head down. Almost at the same time, I suddenly heard someone in the attic on the opposite side shouting: "Jin Duhu, be careful, there are assassins." ”

When he turned around in surprise, he saw that the man in the straw hat had already flashed a dagger in his hand, and his coachman was also a nimble man, and before the other party's dagger could be stabbed, he had already drawn out the steel knife under the driver's seat and slashed at the other party.

Therefore, the side of the opponent's body dodged the coachman's slash, but the short knife in his hand was also stabbed, but it deviated from the heart of the opponent to the arm.

At this time, the coachman shouted to the people around him while facing the attack, and after a while, the officers and soldiers patrolling the river also arrived, but the Assassin still did not want to abandon his goal. She fought hard with the officers and soldiers and the coachmen, but in the end she could not succeed because the other side was outnumbered. In the end, the assassin was even in great danger.

Not only that, but the wound on the other party's body was cracked open under the bitter battle due to the knife wound he had received not long ago, so he gradually became a little unable to support it, and completely revealed his embarrassing situation. It seems that it's a little difficult to go now!

At that moment, from the attic where someone had just shouted, a masked man jumped down, armed with a long sword, and his skill was unusually agile, and no one dared to stop him wherever he went. Eventually, he dragged the exhausted Assassin into the alleys of the town on the west bank of the Bahe River, where he disappeared.

And this assassin is also Liu Qing, and the person who saved him is Nanjian. The two of them came to an abandoned old house, Nan Jian removed the white cloth covering his face, "Brother Nan Jian," Liu Qing suddenly said, "Just now, the person who shouted upstairs was also you?"

Nanjian nodded.

"Why are you doing this!" Liu Qing asked puzzled.

"Because, he's a very kind person. Nanjian said, "Didn't you see just now, he was very sympathetic, and when he saw the beggars on the side of the road, he had to stop the carriage to give alms;

"However, many people are going to die if he lives!" Liu Qing said, "Do you know this? Even the little girl and her father just now are also going to die." ”

Nan Jian looked at him in amazement, and after a long time, he said again: "I only believe what I see in front of me!"

"That's good!" the other party suddenly took his hand and said, "Go, go, I'll take you to see something." ”

At dusk, the cold wind blew on people's faces like knives, making the vast number of people who were still barefoot on the west bank of the Bahe River building roadbeds miserable, and life was worse than death; in order to build a road from the west bank of the Bahe River to the capital, the capital guards did not change their money to petition the imperial court, and the local people worked day and night to build the roadbed. Nowadays, the weather is cold, the working environment is very bad, and the majority of the people are poor and have nothing to protect themselves from the cold, and they are all sick and dead.

Seeing that the deadline for petitioning for the construction of the main road had arrived, the capital protection money was not exchanged, and in order to return to the imperial court on time, he had no choice but to serve the people and fight hard day and night on the road leading to the capital division; now, in the severe winter, the people have contracted diseases, and many people have died!

The two of them stood on the side of the mountain facing the whistling north wind, watching the people under the mountain fight at night and build the roadbed, "How is it!" Liu Qing and Nanjian said, "Do you still think that this is very kind now?"

"Building roads and bridges is nothing more than for the public and the people," Nan Jian said silently, "Although it is said that the people have been forced to live and many people have suffered unbearably, but the merit is beneficial in the present generation, and future generations will feel the blessing of this move;

"That's good!" Liu Qing said, "I'll take you somewhere else." ”

After a while, Nan Jian followed Liu Qing to a very wealthy courtyard. In this courtyard, the pavilions are heavy, the road is divided into east and west, the rockery fish pond complements each other, and the bamboo and cypress grow luxuriantly, and the trimming is neat, it is a very elegant and good manor. At this time, in a big mansion, the lights are bright, laughter and excitement.

There were four lavishly dressed young ladies in the hall, playing cards around a small table, and yet the gambling money placed in front of them was staggering! They were just like that, talking and laughing, happily playing mahjong cards.

And just then, two people walked in through the back hall. One of them was Nanjian at the bridgehead on the west bank of the Bahe River in the afternoon, and he saw all the people who did not change the gold, and the other was a little lady with clouds and temples and green temples, wearing a golden hairpin and silver ring; this person held the arm of Jin Buchang, and accompanied him, and walked towards the women who were playing cards with a fatherly voice.

Seeing the two of them coming, the young woman, who was a little older, only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, on the side of them, glanced at them, "Oh, sisters," she said with a smile, "the big official has returned, and he has brought back a joyful little girl!"

So, Jin Buchang stepped forward, stood on the corner of the table, and at the same time picked up the women on both sides, with a happy and satisfied look, "Dear wives," and then, he kissed each of them on the cheek, and said to everyone with a smile, "This is your sister Liu, we will be a family in the future, but we must unite and help each other, and be harmonious!"

"Oh! I see, our family is getting bigger and bigger, come Sister Liu, you are a newcomer," the woman said with a smile, "The luck of the newcomer has always been strong, borrow your vigor to draw a good card for the eldest sister!" Everyone laughed when they heard this. (To be continued.) )
