Yi Song

Chapter 6 I also have a younger brother

The green-robed scholar couldn't help but give Yuan Dong's family a few words of advice: "No one thought that the thieves in Manjintang would be so vicious. Han Dong's family, alas, this is his life."

As he spoke, Ah Si's screams and moans came faintly.

The Lunjin scholar seemed to hear the Sanskrit chant calling for his life, his face turned pale, and his body started to tremble again.

Yuan Dongjia raised his head, turned around in the faces of Liu Guozhang, Wang Yan and others, stood up, wiped away his tears, and said solemnly, "My name is Yuan Tianbao, and my brother's name is Wang Buddha. I live in Yichunfang, Wulinmen, Hangzhou. The second one on Thirteen Mile Alley.”

What do you mean?
  Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Yuan Tianbao smiled miserably: "It's very dangerous outside. The master and servant of the Han Dong family have already lost their lives. I'm afraid it will be my turn next.

Everyone, if my brother and I were to stay here, the brother who escaped would like to live and die together with us, and send a letter to my family so that his family can know whether he is alive or dead. "

This person has a heroic appearance!
  He took the initiative to instigate the masters and servants of Han Dong's family, and encouraged them to explore the road with coaxing and deception.

When he came back, he immediately put on a look of death and won everyone's favor. Even if he, Brother Wang, and Zhang Zhang could see through his mind, it would be hard to say anything.

The Manjin Hall is full of talented people.

The others looked at each other, probably feeling moved.

The scholar in green robe said impassionedly: "My name is Fengcheng and his name is Tian Cong. We are from Suzhou. We are students of the Suzhou Academy founded by Fan Wenzhenggong. We excelled in the state examination and were selected to study at Taixue."

He turned to look at his comrade who was still shivering, and continued.

"If we die here, please send a letter to Professor Wang Jinghe of Suzhou Academy, saying that Fengcheng and Tian Cong failed to live up to expectations."

Wang Yan said: "It's our turn.

Our team of ten utility soldiers, together with ten rural soldier archers, was originally ordered by the left-behind government to go to the river to pick up a carload of family members and escort them to Tokyo. We encountered some dangers on the road and tried our best to protect the people in the car, but only the leader, Dutou, four of us and two rural soldier archers survived.

After waiting for a reply in Tokyo for half a month, I found out that everyone had taken advantage of our rewards and expenses, went to a gambling house, lost everything, and then escaped without a trace.

We have to go back. We have to bring back the ashes of the six utility Zuojun brothers and the eight rural soldier brothers. We had no choice but to go to Yanchou Po in Yongqiu, where we killed a group of water bandits and collected some money as payment.

I don't want to get caught in Manjintang's path on the way back. "

Wang Yan sighed, looked up at the swaying oil lamp, and continued.

"If we fail, please ask the brothers who escaped to go to the Fanta Temple in the south wing of Kaifeng City to find two local archers, Zhou Quji and Yue Pengju, and tell them to go home quickly."

Zhang Sheng continued: "My Zhang family was originally from the Han family in Zhuozhou, Northern Liao. Fifteen years ago, we couldn't survive, so we quietly moved south to the Song Dynasty. Fifteen years later, there are only twenty-five people left, including our grandfather and grandson." .

Commander, everyone, if we are broken, you must bury us together, even if you take a bunch of hair or pick up a bone. On the road to hell, it is too painful to be alone. "

"Uncle!" Zhang Meng shouted in a muffled voice.

"Big Eyes, don't make any noise. Just use your skills later. If someone blocks you, kill someone, if Buddha blocks you, kill Buddha. Whether you live or die depends on God's will."

"Yes, Father."

Chen Guang said: "General Wang and Zhang Weng have already said what they need to explain. Let me add. Yue Pengju is my apprentice. I pulled him and Zhou Quji out to serve as archers for the local soldiers this time. I can't let them make any mistakes. We are here, please be sure to inform them and go back to your hometown as soon as possible."

Wang Yan said guiltily: "I am the one who harmed everyone."

Zhang Sheng chuckled and said, "General Wang, don't talk about whether these are useful or not. You have to eat food as a soldier, and you don't get to choose when you die. I went south to beg for fifteen years, and I served as a utility soldier for ten years. Wang Guan'er, You are the most kind and compassionate official I have ever seen."

Chen Guang said calmly: "Brothers, please don't say such harsh words."

"Ashamed! I couldn't bring everyone back." Wang Yan's eyes were filled with tears.

Liu Guozhang listened silently, and accidentally glanced and found that Yuan Dongjia was also listening carefully.

Everyone's eyes turned to Liu Da, especially Yuan Dongjia's eyes, which were very expectant.

"I'll tell Brother Liu Xian about my business. If he can't escape, I won't be able to escape."

After a while, everyone's eyes turned to Liu Guozhang.

"What are you looking at me doing? I have nothing to say. Now I only think about how to kill the enemy, not about life and death."

Liu Guozhang pulled out his sword, held it in a flower shape, and flicked the sword with two fingers.

"It's just so-so. It takes about five people to cut it bluntly, and it takes ten people to curl it."

Wang Yan took a step forward and asked, "Brother Liu Xian, how do you want to get out?"

Liu Guozhang asked: "What time is it now?"

"The second watch has passed, but the third watch has not yet arrived." Liu Da replied.

"Let's wait!"

"When?"

"The fourth watch has passed, but the fifth watch has not yet arrived. It is almost dawn, but it is the darkest time of the night and the sleepiest time."

"now what?"

“Everyone takes turns guarding this gate.

The thief didn't come in just now, and he won't come in now. He will only wait until dawn. The rest take turns to rest. My dear, how many oil lamps are there in here? ” ˆ ˆ ˆ “One in this room, one in the hallway, one in the prison, three! "

"Leave only one lamp and hang it at the corner of the corridor. There will be light inside and in the corridor. The rest are extinguished to save lamp oil."

"Why save lamp oil?"

"Before we go out, pour the lamp oil into the door shaft."

"Okay!" Wang Yan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Brother Liu Xian is so brave and careful!"

"Brother Wang, please arrange the shift, and let everyone take a good rest first. By the way, the person on duty will open the door every two-quarters of an hour and make a sound. If you are not sure about the time, just look at the shadow of the moonlight in the window over there."

"Okay!" Wang Yan responded happily. It seemed that he understood his plan to weaken the enemy and accepted his arrangement.

As soon as Liu Guozhang had arranged everything, he was pulled in by Liu Da.

"My benefactor, what's the matter?"

"I have something to tell you."

When they arrived at the prison where the two of them lived, Liu Da took out a package in the corner near the wall.

"My eyelids have been twitching all day today, as if impermanence has arrived at the door. I calculated with my fingers that there is more danger than good. In the end, I saved you, the god of death, tonight.

The elders on the boat often say that one drink, one peck, one life, one death, there is a certain number in Yama's account. I saved your life, but I'm afraid I have to give one back to Yama. "

Liu Guozhang glanced at him and replied solemnly: "I will protect my benefactor and kill him."

"Yam Luo cannot kill you, but he can kill me."

"Man can conquer heaven, so benefactor need not be upset."

"Those of us who are running boats at sea rely on the blessing of gods to save our lives. Of course we have to believe in this. Every time we go to sea, we have to explain everything behind us like this. We are used to it. We are used to it."

Liu Da sighed.

Liu Guozhang was speechless.

Having been on a boat myself, I know that there are many taboos in this industry, the most superstitious of which. What's more, in the Song Dynasty, where technology was underdeveloped, sailing a ship to sea was really a gamble.

Liu Da asked hesitantly: "Brother Xian, what do you think of Yuan Tianbao?"

"Not an ordinary person, he looks like a hero!"

"Brother Xian has also seen it. Unexpectedly, they dare to come to Tokyo. They are so bold."

Well, the benefactor knows some details about Yuan Tianbao?
  Liu Guozhang asked tentatively: "My dear friend, do you have any grudge against Yuan Tianbao?"

Liu Da waved his hand, "It's irrelevant!"

After a pause, he explained: "I won't be able to tell for a while. Now he's crossing his Yangguan Avenue and I'm crossing my single-plank bridge. We'll be fine for the time being. Just be careful."

"It doesn't matter. If he dares to harm my benefactor, I will kill him."

Liu Da had a complicated expression and seemed to be joking.

"My benefactor, my benefactor, you all call me old. I'm only twenty years old, and you look eighteen or nineteen. We're about the same age. We're both descendants of the Han ancestors. We fell in love with each other here. Why don't we become brothers?"

Liu Guozhang pushed the golden mountain, toppled the jade pillar, made a bow with both hands, and said respectfully: "Little brother Liu Guozhang, pay homage to the elder brother!"

Liu Da also knelt down in front of him. Liu Guozhang quickly took his hand and said, "Please don't dislike Guozhang for being vulgar."

Liu Da laughed loudly and said cheerfully: "Okay, okay! My name is Liu Long, and I don't have any words. From now on, I will be the eldest man, and you will be the erlang."

He looked around and found no one else, so he continued softly.

"I also have a younger brother who is similar to you. It's a pity. Without further ado, this is my property and I will explain it to you in detail. I grew up in the southeast, but my roots are in the city of Kaifeng."

Liu Long finished what he wanted to say and thrust the small bag of things into Liu Guozhang's hand.

"There are two household papers here, one is our brother's household paper, and the other is my certificate of ancestor worship. There is also a piece of inferior jade, which is less valuable than a stone, but it is a token of family seeking. Guozhang, read this For the sake of our sworn friendship, if I die, help me worship my ancestors and find my relatives.

Pouring a glass of wine on the grave of my ancestors and leaving a letter about the life and death of my loved ones also made my parents underground think about it. "

Liu Guozhang looked at Liu Long for a while, then carefully stuffed the bag of items into his arms.

"I'll hold the things for you first, worship the ancestors and find relatives, and the benefactor will go alone."

Liu Long grinned.

"Okay! I have a brother again!
  After two months in this hellish place, what worried me the most was that I would be dead if I died, and there wouldn’t even be anyone to take care of my affairs after my death. It's fine now. I have a brother, and everything has been entrusted to me. I have no regrets. I have to fight tooth and nail when it's time to risk my life.

Making a sworn vow is a big deal, so it's too hasty. If you want to get out alive, you must imitate the peach garden sworn brotherhood, place three animals, worship heaven and earth, and make blood alliances. "

Liu Guozhang listened to Liu Long's ramble, with tears in his eyes.
