Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 613 Pensions

Time: November [-]th, the first year of Kaiqing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Location: In Chenzhou, which is six or seven hundred miles away from Tanzhou City where A Li and the others are currently located, which is the Huaihua area of ​​the modern plane.

Seven or eight miles outside the city, in a village called Shimen.

Looking at the small farmyard in front of me consisting of four adobe brick houses and a circle of bamboo fences.

Xu Feng took a deep breath, began to tidy up his clothes, and found that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, and then stepped forward and knocked a few times in front of the courtyard door.

Then, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

The voice fell. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who was dressed in coarse linen and looked a bit tiger-headed came out of a room.

After looking over here with vigilance, it was the expression that did not show weakness at all, and asked a sentence in his mouth:
"Who are you, and who are you looking for?"

After bowing his hands and saluting, Xu Feng asked again: "Dare to ask, brother, this is the mansion of Guan Jiumin, the man who broke the mountain with a single knife?"

well!Guan Jiumin is not in Nanyang city, and his sworn brother Zhang Kui.

In order to block the Mongolian heavy cavalry, the two used their bodies as stakes to pull up the bridle rope when they couldn't find a tree stump. Did they both die in battle in the end?

Then why did Xu Feng come to the door?
In fact, Xu Feng appeared here precisely because Guan Jiumin died in battle.

First of all, Hu Biao and the others confirmed that it was precisely because of the arrival of people like himself that the action of burning military rations and gunpowder in Nanyang City was caused. After being adjusted by the system, the difficulty increased greatly.

It was what caused Guan Jiumin and others to die there one after another.

Even if such a thing, even if they don't say it, no one will know, it is still a hero who is extremely respected in the hearts of all the heroes in the world.

However, Hu Biao and the others couldn't convince themselves that they would always do something within their capabilities for these heroes who died in battle.

So based on such an idea, when the team's manpower is a little tight.

Xufeng, Chen Tang, Fenghuahui and the other three still took some heroes and set off.

With a lot of gold and jewels on their bodies, they set off to various places separately; what they did was to hand over the pension of 100 taels of silver to their relatives.

I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that their families will not become difficult because of the death of the pillars of the family.

All in all, just for peace of mind.

Such a matter will be persisted until Xu Feng and others have visited the hometowns of all known heroes who died in battle, or before February [-]st.

Because at most on February [-]th, they need to prepare to go outside Xiangyang City to fight the Mongols.

At that time, other heroes of the rivers and lakes will continue to send money around, and the three of them, including Xu Feng, will rush back to Wudaoxia to meet up and prepare for the last stage of the task.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, Xu Feng and the others should be able to complete such a job before February [-]st.

Before today, Xufeng alone had gone to the hometowns of 35 heroes; now Guan Jiumin’s homes that have been inquired along the way are already number 30 or six.

As for the fact that such a shabby-looking small farmyard is actually the home of a hero.

Frankly speaking, after Xu Feng saw it, he no longer felt any strangeness or disturbance in his heart; because in the previous time, he had seen some more dilapidated and shabby situations.

Just as some heroes of the rivers and lakes once said to them after drinking too much:
"If the family had a lot of money and land, they would have been a carefree old man at home; if they had a belly full of poems and books, they would have gone to take the imperial examination and become an official.

In short, as long as there is some way, who the hell is messing around in the rivers and lakes..."

******
In the following time, after hearing that Xu Feng claimed to be Guan Jiumin's friend in the rivers and lakes, the boy's reaction immediately changed drastically.

It turns out that this little brother is exactly that Guan Jiumin's young brother.

He yelled "there is a guest, mother and sister-in-law, come out quickly", and after welcoming Xu Feng into the small courtyard, he sat down in the largest main room.

Then, an old woman in her 50s, a woman in her 20s, and two children, a boy and a girl, came up to greet him.

In such a process, it was Guan Jiumin's widowed old woman who still yelled a series of content in her mouth.

For example, ask Guan Jiumin's wife to quickly kill a chicken, and ask Guan Jiumin's younger brother to go to the village to drink two cents of wine and buy some fish and shrimp.

They even asked one of the children, a sister who was already seven or eight years old, to pick some fresh melons and vegetables from the vegetable field in the backyard.

Anyway, in a scene where they were doing their best to entertain the distinguished guests, the family was having a good time.

Seeing such a scene, Xu Feng's heart became more and more blocked; even if it was not the first time he encountered the scene before him.

Because he knew how happy the family was now, and how sad they would be when he told the news of Guan Jiumin's death.

As for not saying anything, after a meal, find an excuse to leave money and leave?

No way, because as long as they have the heart, they will be able to find out about Guan Jiumin's death in Nanyang from the mouths of other Jiang Hu people after a long time.

Concealment, definitely cannot be concealed, so I can only say it.

After making up his mind, Xu Feng first took a deep breath, and performed a cross-hand salute based on the tradition of the Tang Anxi Army in the Xuan Ge Battalion in this mission world.

With an extremely solemn voice in his mouth, he began to say word by word:

"Dear relatives of the Guan family, I am Xufeng, the sacrificed captain of the Xuange Camp, and I am here to inform you on behalf of the Xuange Camp.

Two months ago, Guan Jiumin and Guan Daxia joined our Xuange Battalion. On the night of October 24th, our Xuange Battalion burned down the Mongols' food, grass and gunpowder in Nanyang City.

In order to protect his comrades-in-arms, Guan Daxia spared no effort to block the charge of Mongolian heavy cavalry with his flesh and blood. After killing many Mongolian heavy cavalry in a row, he died in a desperate battle.

It can be said that it played a key role in successfully burning the Mongolian people's food, grass and gunpowder.

Guan Daxia died fighting for the country and the people. His great deeds will always be remembered by us and inspire us to move on.

It's a pity that we were hunted down by the Mongolian army that day, and we couldn't even bring back the corpse and relics of Hero Guan; here we can only offer 100 taels of silver, which can be regarded as some meager compensation for Hero Guan from the Xuange Camp. "

While speaking, Xu Feng took out 100 taels of good Zuse silver from a package behind him, and offered it with both hands.

It's just that at this moment, no one in the Guan family cares. Such a sum of money can buy at least fifteen acres of paddy fields in a country like theirs.

After hearing such a sad news, Guan Jiumin's wife, Guan Liu, rolled her eyes and passed out.

The old woman sat slumped on the ground, unable to speak for a long time, the two ignorant children burst into tears in fright, and even the younger brother of the Guan family had red eyes and was at a loss...

After pinching people and feeding some marching powder for treatment, Mrs. Guan Liu finally woke up.

The old lady who had cried a lot, still forcibly kept Xu Feng for a meal before letting her go. In her words, the Guan family should not lose their manners no matter what.

It's just that this meal, Xu Feng was unwilling to eat, and left in a hurry after eating.

In the end, he walked about ten miles away, and behind him came the voice of "Brother Xu, wait for me".

When he looked back, he saw that the younger brother of the Guan family was carrying a small burden on his back and carrying a bright Daguan knife, panting all the way to catch up.

Before he could catch his breath, the younger brother of the Guan family said:
"Brother Xu, I told my mother, and she agreed.

I want to join the Xuan Ge camp with you to avenge my brother; I have also learned the Guan family's sword skills, and my elder brother also praised that I have seven or eight points of his level, and I will be stronger than him in the future. "

Hearing such a sentence, Xu Feng's instinct was to refuse.

But the younger brother of the Guan family blocked his refusal with one sentence: "Brother Xu, if your Xuan Ge camp doesn't want me, I'll go to Xiangyang and Nanyang to kill the Mongolian Tartars to take revenge."

After being silent for a while, Xu Feng quickly wrote a paragraph in his notebook.

After tearing it off, it was delivered to the other party together with a dozen taels of silver.

This is what he said: "I also want to give other people pension money. You go to Yicheng on Jinghu North Road first, find a 'Spring Breeze Inn', and show this item to the shopkeeper, and it will naturally come to you." Arrange for you to go to Xuan Ge camp.

Remember, take good care of your money along the way, don’t eat indiscriminately, and don’t trust anyone casually~”

Although he failed to go with Xu Feng, the younger brother of the Guan family had fulfilled his wish, so naturally there was no more entanglement.

The two walked together for two or three miles, and they broke up at the next intersection.

Looking at the figure striding away with a small burden on his back, Xu Feng made a silent decision in his heart: No matter what, he must protect this little brother of the Guan family in the future.

For their Guan family, the death of one Guan Jiumin is enough...
