The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 318 Goodbye Lin Chong
Looking at the forage field that was close at hand, Wu Song asked, "Brother, what shall we do?"

Mu Xu frowned and thought for a while. He remembered that in the original text, the snow had crushed the houses in the forage field, and Lin Chong had to take shelter in the mountain temple, but he was lucky to escape.But now that there is an unexpected factor of myself, will there be any changes?

"I'll go to the forage field to check, brother, please stay here for a while and pay attention to the surrounding movement."

Mu Xu explained to Wu Song in a low voice, and then went to the forage field alone, only to find that the house inside had been crushed.

Seeing this, Mu Xu already had an idea in his mind. Even if he didn't stay any longer, he turned back and joined Wu Song, and the two of them searched for mountain temples around. Many whereabouts.

The two didn't spend much effort, they found a temple on the way they came here, entered the temple, and saw a golden armored mountain god on the top of the temple, a judge and a little ghost on both sides, and a pile of papers on the side.In addition, there is neither temple blessing nor others.

Seeing this scene, Mu Xu guessed that Lin Chong might not have returned from the next town at this moment, so he and Wu Song patted the snow off their bodies, and the two sat on the floor, took out the cooked meat and wine they brought, and shared the food , while speaking.

"Brother, didn't we want to save Coach Lin, why did we stop here?"

Hearing Wu Song's question, Mu Xu replied, "My dear brother, please be safe and don't be impatient. I went to the forage field to see that the houses inside were collapsed by the snow, and this is the only place nearby that can escape the wind and snow. Therefore, I guess, He'll be here shortly."

Wu Song saw that Mu Xu was confident, so he didn't ask any more questions, but Mu Xu suddenly remembered something, he remembered that Wu Song seemed to be Zhou Tong's apprentice, so he asked,

"Where did you learn this martial art, brother?"

Wu Song took a sip of his wine and said, "My little brother has been very powerful since he was a child. When he was young, he worshiped a boxer in his hometown and learned some basic martial arts. Later, when I was fighting with some rascals, I met Zhou Tong who was passing through Qinghe County. Master Zhou, the old man saw that my younger brother is quite talented, so he accepted me as a registered student and taught me boxing and kicking kung fu."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing, "It's a pity that my teacher was in a hurry and left very quickly. I only taught for more than half a month. I regret it so far."

Mu Xu smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence, do you know who this coach Lin is?"

"Little brother, I heard from Chai Daguan that Instructor Lin is the instructor of guns and clubs of the [-] Imperial Army in Tokyo." Wu Song answered truthfully, and then his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Brother means, Instructor Lin also belongs to Master Zhou." disciple?"

Mu Xu nodded and said, "That's right, as far as I know, Teacher Zhou has three apprentices, namely Hebei Lu Junyi, Lin Chong Lin, and Tieqiang Shi Wengong, and Lin is his second disciple. .”

Only then did Wu Song realize that he had a relationship with Lin Chong, and immediately became interested in Lin Chong's life, so he asked Mu Xu to hear it.

"This... is really hard to say."

Seeing that Mu Xu hesitated, Wu Song couldn't help wondering, "But what's hindering it?"

Mu Xu shook his head and said, "There's no hindrance, it's because of what Instructor Lin said, he's a bit resigned." Then, he roughly explained the grievances between Lin Chong and Gao Taiwei and his son to Wu Song.

When Wu Song heard this, he immediately said angrily, "Brother, why are you so useless? People will kill his family and ruin him, so why put up with that birdishness? According to me, the worst thing is to kill the Gao Yanei father and son and escape from Tokyo. "

Mu Xu was not surprised that Wu Song would have this kind of reaction. As I said earlier, both Wu Song and Lin Chong seemed to be forced to go to Liangshan, but when encountering adversity, the difference in behavior between the two came out, and Wu Song would choose to stand up and resist However, Lin Chong chose to succumb to fate.

"Everyone has their own fate, we can't force it." Mu Xu casually defended Lin Chong, and then changed the subject, "When does my brother plan to return home?"

Wu Song hesitated for a while before saying, "I want to send my brother back to Liangshanbo, and then go to Yanggu to find my brother."

But Mu Xu refused with a smile, "Why are you doing this? Are you afraid that someone on the road will rob me?"

Wu Song was stunned, then relieved, "It's true, with my brother's martial arts skills, those strong people should be afraid of meeting my brother."

Just as Mu Xu was about to reply, he suddenly heard the sound of snow treading in the distance, and immediately made a silent gesture to Wu Song, got up and came to the vacant temple gate, and looked out through the white snow.

As the footsteps approached, I saw a man with a long gun on his shoulder, a gourd hanging on the end of the gun, and a felt hat on his head, coming towards the mountain temple. Who could it be if it wasn't Lin Chong?
Seeing that no one else was coming, Mu Xu let go of his heart, opened the door from the inside, and said with a loud smile, "Master Lin, are you all right?"

Lin Chong was startled at first, but when he heard the voice sound familiar, he hastened his pace and approached him. He looked closely, but saw Mu Xu standing at the gate of the temple with a heroic man, looking at him with a smile.

Lin Chong was overjoyed, rushed forward a few steps, bowed down and bowed down, "How did Brother Xian get here?"

Mu Xu smiled without saying a word, dragged Lin Chong into the temple, blocked the door from the inside with a big stone at the door, then turned around and said, "I was a guest at Mr. Chai's place recently, and I learned that someone is going to kill you. Come and help."

Lin Chong took the hand of the felt hat and said sadly, "Lin Chong has fallen into such a field, I don't want Gao Taiwei to force him even harder, I'm afraid Lin Chong will not die!"

Mu Xu was puzzled, "Brother Lin already knows about this?"

Lin Chong took off the felt hat, put the iron gun on the ground, first thanked Mu Xu and Wu Song for their help, and then explained,
"In a town not far away, there is an old acquaintance in Tokyo who runs a wine shop. He met Lu Qian, a thief, and discussed with the prison city camp management the day before yesterday. He wanted to kill me secretly. I waited for a few days, but they did not come. I thought it was a mistake, but since Brother Xian is here, I think those thieves are already around, right?"

"Yes, I got the news at noon today that Lu Qian and his gang left Cangzhou City and came straight to the forage field."

Hearing Mu Xu's confirmation, Lin Chong's blood surged up for a while, and he felt a suffocating pain in his chest. At this moment, the big man brought by Mu Xu said angrily,
"With my brother and I here now, why don't we act like a senior brother and act first, find those bastards, skin them and tear them apart!"

"How does this brother call me senior brother?" Lin Chong was attracted by the senior brother in Wu Song's words, and asked.

Seeing this, Mu Xu stepped forward and introduced Wu Song's identity and relationship with Zhou Tong to Lin Chong. After the two had bowed with the etiquette of a teacher and brother, he said,
"Brother, don't be reckless. Although those people are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered for us, the terrain here is empty, and it is easy to miss the place in advance. Instead of taking the initiative to attack, it is better to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit. If they want to kill Coach Lin, they must We came to the forage field, so let's recharge our batteries here."

Both Lin Chong and Lin Chong felt that it was very reasonable, so they sat down as they said, and started talking together.After a short exchange of pleasantries, Lin Chong couldn't wait to ask about his wife's recent situation.

"Instructor Zhang, father and daughter are all well now, but my wife is not feeling well because she misses the instructor and shed tears every day."

Hearing this, Lin Chong couldn't help feeling ashamed when he thought of his careless thoughts back then, and he said with tears in his eyes, "Lin Chong is a husband in vain, and I'm ashamed of being infatuated with my wife."

Seeing that Lin Chong's expression was quite different from before, Mu Xu knew that after the blow of this period of time, he must have thought about it a lot, so he comforted him,
"Brother Lin, there is no need to blame yourself so much. Mrs. Sister-in-law and Coach Zhang both understand your difficulties, and they don't mean to blame you in their hearts. When you and your husband meet again in the future, just talk about everything."

Lin Chong felt much better when he heard this, and asked again, "Did my father-in-law and wife go to Liangshan with Brother Xian?"

Mu Xu nodded and said, "I have no other choice. When I returned to Tokyo City that day, Gao Yamen persecuted me urgently. My wife did not want to be humiliated, so she made up her mind to hang herself to keep her innocence. I had no choice but to take them with me." Escaped from Tokyo City."

"Then Gao Qiugui is a Taiwei, how can there be a place to live in the world? In order to preserve a useful body and be able to reunite with the instructor in the future, the instructor Zhang and his daughter had no choice but to follow me to Liangshanbo."

Lin Chong can naturally understand the reason, but he still resists Luocao in his heart. While he was thinking about something, suddenly there was a loud beeping sound outside.

The three of them looked out at the same time, and saw a fire in the forage field, which reflected the sky red. Lin Chong was in a hurry and wanted to move the stones to fight the fire.You must know that the fodder hoarded in the Cangzhou forage field is to supply the needs of the army in Hebei. Once it is burned, it will be a serious crime of beheading.

Lin Chongfang took two steps, but Mu Xu grabbed him when he didn't want to, and he said, "There's no need for the coach, it's been snowing recently, so how can the forage yard catch fire for no reason? Besides, look carefully, then The place where the fire broke out is not limited to one place, it is obvious that someone set the fire, in order to burn you to death, and then charge you with a felony of destroying military supplies."
