It is said that the flowers of the river are red like fire, and the river water is as green as blue in spring. At this time, it is the bright season of spring in the south of the Yangtze River.

Feiyun Lake is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Feiyun River in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and the water is extremely pure. The lake is full of smoke and waves, and the sails are racing, which is extremely spectacular. The trees on the shore of the lake are green cages, the beautiful bamboos are continuous, and the ancient villages are scattered among them. There are many tributaries of the Feiyun River, forming criss-crossing bays, the bays are coiled and coiled, and the mountains are coiled into small islands, which are different in size, shape, vegetation, birds and beasts. The lake and the island became a labyrinth and a paradise. Travelers can go boating, fishing, and exploring the secluded. This place is also the hometown of Liu Ji, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves by the lake, and when pedestrians looked at it, they knew that it was a team of darts. Because of the bright flag planted on the dart car with four big characters written on it: Xinglong Dart Bureau!

The leader was a young man, whose face was like a crown of jade, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a silver saddle and a white horse under his crotch, a brocade robe, and a richly decorated sword hanging from his waist.

With a crisp sound of reining in the horse, the young man jumped down before the horse under him could stop, and commanded the people behind him: "Big guy, drink water and rest." ”

The twelve men who had finished their outfits responded in unison: "Yes! ”

It turned out that this young man was Yang Pu, the young dart head of the Xinglong Dart Bureau. The General Bureau of Xinglong Dart Bureau is in Daizhou, Shanxi, which was created by Yang Pu's grandfather, Yang Hong.

Daizhou is located in the northeast of Shanxi Province, located in the north of the Heng Mountain in Beiyue, and in the south across the foothills of Wutai Mountain, a holy place of Buddhism. Daizhou cultural relics and historic sites are all over, Yanmen Pass is the first of the nine stops, and it is famous all over the world.

Shanxi is also the birthplace of the surname Yang, since the Han and Tang dynasties, the Yang family has carried virtue, celebrities have come out in large numbers, and it has become the Mao clan of Shanxi. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yang family in Daizhou, Shanxi Province has been known to the world, only because of the story of the Yang family generals who have been sung by the ancestors and grandchildren of the Yang family who bravely resisted the enemy for generations.

Yang Pu's family is a branch of the descendants of the Yang family, his grandfather Yang Hong was tired of literature and martial arts when he was young, a good ranger, a traffic guest, and has always dreamed of one day being able to emulate his ancestors, fight on the battlefield, and serve the imperial court, so he participated in martial arts. However, the martial arts assessment of the Ming Dynasty is "the first to strategy, followed by martial arts", Yang Hong, who has been tired of literature and martial arts since he was a child, was brushed down at the first level. Then Yang Hong studied hard, and took the exam again six years later, but stopped at the township exam again and suffered a big blow. Since then, he has been discouraged and self-defeating. After the death of his parents, the 36-year-old Yang Hongcai regained his strength and started a Xinglong dart game with his martial arts and the legacy left by his parents.

But the Xinglong dart game really became prosperous in the hands of Yang Hong's son Yang Zhijian. Yang Pu is Yang Zhijian's favorite young son.

Yang Pu strode to the edge of Feiyun Lake, squatted down and washed his face with the clear lake water, and then looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and sighed: "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is picturesque, but unfortunately, I will leave this place after handing over the darts today." After speaking, Yang Pu raised his eyes to admire the beautiful Feiyun Lake, and saw a man and a woman squatting by the lake not far upstream as if they were washing clothes.

The dark and tall dart head next to him persuaded him: "Since the young dart head came to Jiangnan for the first time, after handing over the dart, why not stay here for a while and see the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan." ”

Yang Pu shook his head and said, "Yun Niang's time to give birth is approaching, this is my first child, so I naturally have to rush back." ”

The dart head hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot about this stubble." I heard my mother-in-law say that the young lady's belly is big and pointy, and this baby must be a boy. ”

Hearing this, the rest of the people also echoed this dart.

Yang Pu was overjoyed, and laughed: "Hahaha... If it's really a boy, I will definitely invite Zheng Darttou and you to drink." ”

At this time, a piece of clothing floated down from the upstream, Yang Pu thought it was a man and a woman who accidentally fell into the lake, and was about to open his mouth to remind, but when the clothes floated in front of him, he was stunned!

Because Yang Pu saw it clearly, it was a swaddling cloth, and there was a baby wrapped in it.

"Whoa!"

Yang Pu immediately threw himself into the water, trying to save the baby who was floating downstream. But Yang Pu forgot that he doesn't know water!

"Less dartheads!"

When everyone in the Xinglong Dart Bureau saw Yang Pu plunge into the water, they immediately exclaimed. Several of them remembered that Yang Pu didn't know the surname Shui, and immediately shouted: "Quick, quick! He doesn't know how to water with a little dart!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

The twelve men had been traveling north and south for many years, and most of them knew the surname Shui and heard the shouts, and three of them immediately rushed into the lake.

Fortunately, the current was not in a hurry at this time, and Yang Pu did not rush out far, and the three strong men pulled him ashore after a while, and Yang Pu was carrying a swaddling baby in his arms.

"Shao Darthead, why did you suddenly rush into the water when you are so dignified?" Zheng Darthead hurriedly asked.

Yang Pu gasped, hugged the baby in his arms and said to everyone: "Child, child, I want to, I want to save this child." ”

Zheng Dangtou looked down and saw that it was really a baby in the red swaddling clothes, he stretched out his hand to sniff at the baby, and then his face stiffened!

Yang Pu's hands trembled! The handsome face, which was red from choking on water, suddenly turned pale. She looked at the baby girl in a daze and muttered, "Out of gas?"

Then Yang Pu raised his head sharply, turned around and looked upstream, looking at the original man and woman. But at this time, the man and the woman had left the place in a hurry, leaving only two backs.

Zheng Darttou also looked in the direction that Yang Pu was looking at, and when he saw the backs of the man and woman, he frowned, and then looked at the drowned baby girl in the swaddling clothes. After many years of darts, he seemed to have an understanding, sighed and said, "This is probably a girl." ”

Hearing this, Yang Pu untied the swaddling clothes and saw that it was really a girl, and wondered: "Zheng Darttou, how do you know that this is a girl?"

"Hey, although you have gone through a few darts, it is the first time to go down to Jiangnan, and you don't know anything. In recent years, women born to the people of Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Chuzhou often drowned for fear of the cost of marriage in the future. Zheng replied.

Yang Pu's face changed, and he said in horror: "What? This... This is simply cruel and unkind! Father and son are close relatives, and human life is of the utmost importance! How can such a heinous thing be done because of the tiredness of marriage?"

Zheng Dangtou said helplessly: "In fact, there are not only these three prefectures, I have traveled south and north for many years, and I have seen such things happen in Ningbo, Shaoxing, Jinhua, Jiangxi, Fujian, Nanzhili and other places. ”

Hearing this, Yang Pu was incredulous, looked at the other eleven people with puzzled eyes, and saw everyone's faces, knowing that what Zheng Dart Bureau said was true, and his heart was cold.

Zheng Darttou patted Yang Pu's shoulder and said: "Young dart, wait for you to run for a few more years, you will know that this world is the world of the strong, the world of the rich and powerful, and the life of ordinary people in this world is thinner than paper." ”

Yang Pu was stunned! looked down at the baby girl in swaddling clothes, and sighed. Then the baby girl was hastily buried not far from the lake.

Facing the small grave, Yang Pu said softly: "I hope you will be reincarnated into a good family in the next life." ”

"Less darts, don't think about it, let's hurry up and finish the darts and go back to Daizhou!" Zheng Dart patted Yang Pu's shoulder and persuaded.

Thinking that his first child was also about to be born, Yang Pu came back from his daze, nodded at everyone, and whistled.

Hearing the sound, Yang Pu's white horse suddenly galloped from not far away. Yang Pu turned over and called to everyone: "Let's go!!"

Because of the drowning of women by the lake, Yang Pu was in a heavy mood, and he was bored with the matter of handing over darts, so he and Zheng Darttou and his party did not stay after handing over the goods, and immediately set off to go home.
