It took a lot of effort for Zhu Yushi to drag Luo Tianchu out of the dog hole and carry him back to Luo Tianchu's broken house. The two collapsed on the bed together, unable to move. Luo Tianchu felt like a boulder in his chest, his breathing was not smooth, and he was weak. Zhu Yushi's cheeks were red and swollen, and he was in hot pain, and said, "Your injury is relatively serious, and you vomited blood, I will stay and take care of you." Luo Tianchu shook his head and said: "Your father left early, the godmother only has a son like you, if you don't go home, her old man must not sleep well, go back, greet the godmother on my behalf." Zhu Yushi said: "Okay, then you rest, I will come to see you tomorrow." ”

After Zhu Yushi left, Luo Tianchu fell asleep, slept until noon the next day, and woke up feeling more pain in his chest, but his stomach screamed angrily, remembering the half smoked chicken he brought back last night, he struggled to get up, and moved slowly on the table. When I came to the stove room, I found that the package of wine and food on the table was missing, and I thought it was taken away by Zhu Yushi, and when I was about to go back to the house, I suddenly felt something under my feet, looked down, and exclaimed, "My mother!" It turned out that there was a person lying on the ground.

The man had just woken up, opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "Little brother, are you looking for something to eat? I'm sorry, I haven't eaten for a day, so I ate all the food you brought back." Luo Tianchu was shocked: "Who are you? What are you doing at my house? You dare to eat me for nothing? The man laughed and said, "My name is Zhong Yuanpeng, and I am the wicked man in those bull's noses last night." Luo Tianchu remembered, even more surprised, looked at the man carefully, and saw that he was thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a red scarf tied on his forehead, a wide head, a square face, bright eyes under thick eyebrows, wearing a night coat, eight feet tall, burly as a mountain, lying on the ground like a door panel, as Dong Ping said last night. Luo Tianchu was puzzled and said: "Those Taoist priests want to take you, why don't you run for your life, hide here with me?" How do you know what those bull noses have said to me?" The man said: "Little brother, don't worry, I have no malice, speaking of which, you are still my savior." I've been hiding in the cellar, which I brought from the kitchen, and when I saw you and another little brother coming down from the entrance, I hid in the empty vat. I didn't expect the bull's nose of the Zhengyi faction to be found, if they hadn't seen you, they would have searched carefully. I heard Song Lianfeng bullying you, and I was really worried about you, but I have serious internal injuries, even if I go out, I can't fight them, and I hope that the little brother will not be surprised. Luo Tian saw that he was not malicious, so he put his heart at ease, although it was the first time they met, but felt that this "evil thief" was open-minded and fair-minded, so he had a good impression, and said: "I see, what are you going to do now, if you want to go out of the city, I can help you hire a car, but the car money will cost you." Zhong Yuanpeng pondered for a moment, and said a little unspeakable: "Now Lin'an is full of Shaolin Temple, and the Zhengyi faction, You Longmen, and the disciples of the Big Bear Gang are all searching for their whereabouts. Zhong is going out now is a dead end, and there is no place to stay, so I came back with you last night and wanted to take advantage of this place to recuperate from my injuries. If the little brother refuses, Zhong will leave immediately, and will not force it, this ingot of gold rarely shows the love of rescue. As he spoke, he took out a yellow-orange ingots and put them on the stove.

Luo Tianchu has seen gold in his life, touched gold, but has never owned gold, but he is a righteous person, and sympathizes with a doomsday hero like Zhong Yuanpeng, and said: "You can trust me if you ask me for help, although I have no ability, but I am not a person who is afraid of things, I can live in this kennel for as long as you want." Zhong Yuanpeng laughed and said: "I really didn't see the wrong person, I am a man! We will be brothers from now on." Luo Tian laughed as loudly as he did at the beginning, and the two shook hands and soon became friends. Some people can become friends with blood after seeing each other, and some people are just strangers for a lifetime.

Luo Tianchu didn't even have a decent chair in the dilapidated small hall, he gave the only low chair to Zhong Yuanpeng, sat on the ground casually, and said embarrassedly: "Big brother, it's not that the younger brother doesn't know how to be polite, but his family is poor and there is no tea to entertain." Zhong Yuanpeng said: "The little brother is willing to take me in, I am grateful, how can I be suspicious, the foolish brother's entanglement is here, and it will trouble the little brother Zhang Luo to eat and drink in the future." As he spoke, he took out a small black bag, which contained seven pieces of money and some broken silver. Luo Tianchu didn't shirk, put the bag on his body, got up and said, "I'll go buy some lunch and come back, big brother wait a minute." Zhong Yuanpeng said: "Okay." After Luo Tianchu went out, he thought to himself that Brother Zhong is really a frank person, he didn't worry about letting me take away so much money, and he wasn't afraid that I would denounce him, such a good man was worth handing over. He said that what is the name of the Taoist priest who beat me and Xiao Zhu yesterday Song Lianfeng, the Zhengyi faction is a famous faction in the rivers and lakes, but Song Lianfeng's bearing is comparable to Brother Zhong.

Luo Tianchu was injured and slow, and it took an hour to buy food and drinks. On the way, I saw many strange characters walking around the street, so I should be looking for Zhong Yuanpeng. He alone caused such a big movement, forcing Shaolin, Zhengyi, Youlong, and Daxiong to dispatch at the same time, it can be seen how great Brother Zhong's ability is, and he will not be a good man and a woman, but Luo Tianchu doesn't care, whoever is good to him will be good to whom, Zhong Yuanpeng can afford him, he is commensurate with brothers, he is full of enthusiasm to reciprocate, even if Song Lianfeng kills him now, he will not betray Zhong Yuanpeng.

Luo Tianchu's family lives in a remote alley, there are few households nearby, the road is muddy and rugged, it is very difficult to find, and it is indeed a good place to hide. Luo Tianchu pushed open the incomplete door, and saw Zhong Yuanpeng and Zhu Yushi talking to each other, it turned out that Zhu Yushi came to the door after he left, Zhong Yuanpeng explained the reason to him, Zhu Yushi and they were the same kind of people, and they resolutely supported Luo Tianchu's decision, and they became brothers in a few words, and they talked about everything.

Luo Tianchu put the wine and food on the ground, and the three of them sat on the ground, they toasted Zhong Yuanpeng first, Zhong Yuanpeng didn't say a word, and ate six cups in one go. Men who like to eat and drink get together, and the wine can never stop as soon as they get drunk, although they are all injured and know that eating and drinking is not good for recovery, but no one mentions it, and they dry one cup after another. The three of them drank a lot, and the more they ate, the more energetic they became, and the topics became more and more. Zhu Yushi asked embarrassedly: "Brother Zhong, what is the name of that righteous little Daoist?" Zhong Yuanpeng smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Zhu Yushi blushed and said: "I don't know why, I have been thinking about her since I saw her once, and I lost sleep last night." Luo Tianchu scolded with a smile: "You kid is a cat in spring, and you are excited when you see a beautiful girl." Zhu Yushi shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm still a child, this time I'm really tempted, that little Daogu is my wrongdoer, but she is a monk, I think so, it's blasphemy." Zhong Yuanpeng said with a smile: "Although the rules of the Zhengyi faction are strict, there is no rule that you must become a monk, and there are many Taoist priests in the sect, you can eat meat, you can get married, and although the three people in the wine cellar are wearing Taoist robes, they are all lay disciples." That little Dao Gu's name is He Yuelian, and she is one of the second generation of disciples, and she is young and promising. Zhu Yushi was first happy, and then sighed: "Even if you can get married, but you are a disciple of a famous family, with high martial arts and beautiful looks, and there are indispensable suitors, how can you look down on a busy person like me." Zhong Yuanpeng said lightly: "No matter how good the martial arts of the Zhengyi faction are, what is it? With the righteousness of your brothers, none of the bull noses can compare." Your foolish brother has written it down, and when the injury is healed, he will find a way to fulfill you. Zhu Yushi was moved to tears and said, "Thank you, big brother." Zhong Yuanpeng said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, why do you need to thank you." Luo Tianchu and Zhu Yushi both thought to themselves that if this is a trivial matter, then what is a big matter?

Luo Tianchu said: "Big brother, who are you from?" Zhong Yuanpeng said: "Brother Fool serves the Blood Sword Castle. Luo Zhu and the others glanced at each other, and neither of them had heard of the name of the Blood Knife Castle. Zhong Yuanpeng smiled and said: "My fort is located in the remote Xishu, which has only risen in recent years, the road is blocked, and it has never interacted with the Central Plains martial arts, so it is not famous." Non-foolish brother boasts, in terms of strength, my castle should be the first in martial arts, only storm, black rain, thunder, lightning four hall masters, any one can match the head of the major factions, in addition to the 'six village masters', the foolish brother is one of the demon king village masters. In addition to the martial arts masters, there is no shortage of capable people and wise people, the military master Gongsun Mingyue is the world's great talent, read the mystery of the stars and the stars, and understand the trend of mountains and rivers, full of knowledge, and the size of the affairs are handled in an orderly manner, comparable to Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty. Luo Tianchu and Zhu Yushi looked at each other in amazement, and Luo Tianchu said: "The Blood Knife Castle is so powerful, and your castle master is even more of a great figure." Zhong Yuanpeng bowed his head, his eyes showed admiration, and said: "Seven of the four hall masters and seven of the six village masters have been the opponents of the castle master before entering the castle, but in the end, they followed him with all their hearts, not only because they admired his shocking martial arts, but also because they were impressed by his mind and bearing. He was a natural commander who could only be described as perfect. Zhu Yushi sighed: "Your castle master is too powerful, what is his name." Zhong Yuanpeng said: "Ling Junlai is the same age as the foolish brother, but the achievements of the foolish brother are beyond the reach of the foolish brother." Luo Zhu and the others both thought that Zhong Yuanpeng respected this person so much, it must be very remarkable, the two looked at each other, Luo Tianchu said cautiously: "Brother Zhong, I don't know if Xiao Zhu and I can worship under the Blood Sword Castle, although we don't know martial arts, but we dare to work hard, and we will never embarrass you." Zhong Yuanpeng laughed and said: "The two virtuous brothers are the people of my generation, so the castle lord must be very happy, and I will take you with me when the foolish brother is injured." Come and eat this cup!" Luo Tianchu was overjoyed, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, what he longed for the most was to join the Jianghu sect one day, which was simply imposing.

Zhu Yushi's face showed embarrassment, and he stopped talking, Zhong Yuanpeng asked: "What does Brother Zhu Xian want to say?" Zhu Yushi sighed: "It is the dream of the younger brother to get along with Brother Zhong and the heroes, but there is still an old mother in the house, and it is difficult to leave." Zhong Yuanpeng praised: "Gao Tang is still here, the son is not far away, and the filial son is not worried, when the wind passes, let's hire a car and take the old lady to go together, from now on your mother is the mother of the foolish brother, and she will definitely support her old man." Zhu Yushi fell to the ground excitedly, and tears flowed from his eyes.

He and Luo Tianchu have been dependent on each other since childhood, being bullied all day long, being treated coldly, and suddenly a big brother can be relied on, as if they have been floating in the water for a long time, and suddenly climbed ashore, and that kind of down-to-earth feeling makes their hearts have a home. Zhong Yuanpeng was also very moved, helped him up with both hands, and said: "The harvest of this trip is not small, but compared with getting two virtuous brothers, it is simply not worth mentioning. The three of them sat down again, and Luo Tianchu said: "I haven't asked the eldest brother what he is doing in Lin'an, how can he get into trouble with the four major factions?" Zhong Yuanpeng smiled: "Don't hide it from the two virtuous brothers, the foolish brother has done a lot of great things this time, all because of a bet." Luo Zhu and the others were both little gamblers, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they said in unison: "What bet?"

Zhong Yuanpeng said: "Zhao Hengshan, the master of the Thunder Hall, and Brother Fool are both in a hurry, Brother Fool and he happened to be hunting in Beishan three months ago, and they shot a goshawk at the same time. At that time, I couldn't tell who shot the arrow that was more deadly, in fact, it was a trivial matter, the foolish brother wanted to give him the prey, who knew that he teased, 'Haha, old Zhong, your arrow is the same as the work in the crotch, it's not interesting', I know that he has always been open-mouthed, and he doesn't care, and he also smiled and said, "Brother Zhao's work is so good that he can't even give birth to a son." Zhao Hengshan has been married for fifteen years, and there is still no queen, which is the pain in his heart. He was immediately annoyed and scolded, and I was not afraid of him,-for-tat. He knew that the foolish brother was still single, and said, 'If the arrows of the Sprinkle family are stronger than your strength, you will go to the Imperial City of Lin'an and tie up three of the concubines of the official family to you as a mother-in-law'. The foolish brother was angry at the time, and said, 'If I lose, I will go to Shaolin, Zhengyi, Youlong, and Daxiong to each take a copy of the martial arts secret book and give it to you as a birthday gift'. After making a bet, I went to check the goshawk's wound, but his arrow was half an inch deep into me, and the foolish brother could only admit defeat and go down the mountain that day. The castle lord and all the brothers knew the temper of the foolish brother, and no one could interfere in the bets between men, so they had to let me go. After going down the mountain, the foolish brother first worshiped Shaomu Mountain, then went up to Longhu Mountain, fought the dragon, and played the big bear. The helm of the Big Bear Gang is located in Jiaxing, and after succeeding, he came to Lin'an, where the fish and dragons are mixed, and it is easy to hide and recuperate. The loss of martial arts cheats is a great shame for the major factions, and those who chase and kill the foolish brother are the elites of each faction, chasing them all the way to this place. Brother Yu needs a safe place to recuperate for a long time, at first he chose to be in Jufeng Building, where there is food and drink, and the wine cellar is also a secret place, who knows that his whereabouts were discovered by Dong Ping of the Zhengyi faction, he was afraid that one person could not defeat me, so he went back to move the rescuers, it is estimated that the Zhengyi faction wanted to be in the limelight, so he did not call other gangs to come with him. You also know what happened next. ”
