cloudless sky

Zhong Lubai rolled his eyes at him, and wondered: "You bastard, are you really planning to fight with me? You don't even think about it. If I came to deal with you, would I still bother to save this child? I don't know who is confused."

"It's still you," Zhong Chongtang snorted, and said, "You let Second Uncle and the others set up the situation, and now you're here to disrupt the situation. Aren't you a foolish person doing these stupid things?"

"I didn't want to make such a fuss, and it's not because you admit death and are not accommodating at all!" Zhong Lubai sighed, and said: "They all knelt on the ground and took turns to reason with me one after another. I was upset by Chongyan's crying, so I couldn't listen anymore so I agreed. Boyou didn't intend to make a fuss like this at first, but he wanted to use the fifth day of junior high school to test you first. room for maneuver."

"Return what?" Zhong Chongtang asked.

"You know it in your heart, don't say you haven't been suspicious." Zhong Lubai said.

"I didn't think about it earlier, I didn't think of it at all. After I met Feng Buwen, I became suspicious. After this battle, I can't figure it out." Zhong Chongtang smiled wryly, and asked: "Jade plaques have never been issued before. You've been out of Zhong's house, haven't you?"

Zhong Lubai looked at him, put on a confused look again, and didn't speak.

"The jade tablet passed down from generation to generation, the 'Zhong' character tablet bestowed by the imperial court in the past, and the 'Zhi De Heirloom' on the back. I lost such a thing, and I couldn't find it after searching the Three Corps Gate, but my second uncle didn't come up. So I asked me, not because he was calm, but because he didn't lose it at all. Thinking about it carefully, from the old year, the three corpses gate broke into Zhong's house and stole the disaster silver and jade tokens. There are many unreasonable things that the second uncle did. It's just that I never imagined that the disaster silver and the relief silver can be guarded and stolen. When did Zhong's family become like this, isn't it a joke to keep the jade plaque?" Zhong Chongtang said.

"According to what Chongyan said, it's not all ignorance." Zhong Lubai blushed, and muttered: "Last year, the flood was followed by the plague, and Zhong's family was also affected. The land and mines were lost, and each house had to make ends meet. To help the people nearby. Chongyan manages the exchange of money and tries his best to make up for the shortfall. When the flood recedes, he will use the disaster money to build houses and cultivate fields, and the amount is really much worse.”

"No matter how you move around, there are always accounts, take them out, and just explain to everyone clearly." Zhong Chongtang said.

"It's just that I don't know how to explain it. It's not appropriate to let outsiders see how much I help my family. No matter how many good deeds the Zhong family has done and how many people they have helped, this account will ruin their reputation." Zhong Lu said in vain.

"Third Grandpa, no matter how lightly you downplay it, and no matter how much you avoid it, the Zhong family is wrong about this matter."

"The Marquis of Disaster Yin has made up, earned a good name, and eased the relationship with the Zhong family; the Three Corpses are not a good thing, they do a lot of evil, and destroying the family is also a good thing; the reputation of the Zhong family is still there, and they can still do things More good deeds. As a result, everything is good. As long as you don't turn over the old score, just pretend that you don't know about it, you can still be your head of the family, manage the Zhong family according to your wishes, and manage things better. Everything is fine, only you are not good, you just refuse to pretend to be this foolish."

"Second Uncle beat me with Chu Wu, I just need to give in, listen to a word, obey the rules once, and let you interrupt Chu Wu's siblings, can you rest assured me?" Zhong Chongtang sneered.

"You understand the truth, but you just don't follow it." Zhong Lubai shook his head and said.

"There's no reason to beat up an innocent child. It's really bad for me to do so, and I'm in vain. What's more, there will be a next time, and the next time, as long as you violate the rules of the Zhong family once, you can still follow the rules Get rid of me. I, Zhong Chongtang, am alive and upright, no matter how close or close I am, I only distinguish right from wrong, right from wrong, and I can't let the rules crush me to death!"

"They thought that you have such a bad temper, and they were worried a long time ago. After the incident happened, you visited every sect and faction in the south of the Yangtze River one by one, lobbying all the sects to work together to destroy the Three Corpses. Chongyan became more and more frightened day by day, and finally told Bo You said it, and Boyou was also angry and almost killed him, but Chongyan was thinking of Zhong's family after all. When you choose soldiers and generals to lead Chongwei and the others to kill the three corpses, it's fine if you never return, it's still The great heroes of Zhong’s Guangzong and Yaozu. What they are afraid of is that you will come back, and this matter can no longer be hidden. Boyou brought a few colleagues from his generation to beg me, and I also said that they were wishful thinking. You will never follow their wishes." Zhong Lubai also laughed, the smile was very ugly, his face was wrinkled into a small ball, more like a walnut, and he sighed: "But Chongtang, I am also Zhong Lubai. My family, I watched you grow up one by one. You have a lot of knowledge and a big world, and I have guarded this three-acre land in my life, and I can't watch it go to waste."

"Third Grandpa, I am stupid, I will never learn your rare and stupid kung fu again." Zhong Chongtang said.

"You, you," Zhong Lubai shook his head and sighed, "You can't help it if you think about it any more. Boyou has already sent people to pass on letters to various sects, counting your major crimes, privately teaching martial arts, colluding with three Corpse gate or something... Now you are a villain, no one believes what you say, and you can't find out what is right or wrong."

"It doesn't matter," Zhong Chongtang said with a wry smile, "I know that I did nothing wrong, it's better than being with you real villains."

"You're just asking for a few cheap words, fool."

"Old and confused, it's not enough to take advantage of it."

"As long as you are not confused, it seems that you are so smart that you have no way to survive. No matter how many friends you make, that is when you are in glory. When you end up being beaten by everyone, you can still risk the world to help you? Don't put yourself Take your family seriously, and you deserve to be alone!" Zhong Lubai scolded.

As he was cursing, he felt a small body trembling under his hand, Zhong Lubai looked down, Chu Wu closed his eyes and cried with tears all over his face, I don't know how long I cried, I don't know how much I listened to.

"The fifth day?" Zhong Chongtang also saw it, and hurriedly called him.

"Yeah." Chu Wu snorted, and couldn't help crying again, closing his eyes and refusing to open them.

On the first day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the lunar new year, Pingping cried out, and Pingping in Zhong Chongtang's arms cried too when he saw it, crying more painfully than him. The fifth day of the first day was encouraged even more, and burst into tears, shouting: "Mr. Chongtang, Woohoo, it's all my fault, Mr. Chongtang..." "Yeeeeeeah..." Pingping also called out.

Afraid that he would lose his breath, Zhong Lubai tapped his acupoints, patted his back, and said, "Don't cry, he's still alive. If you cry to death, he'll still make trouble for me."

"Okay, on the fifth day of the lunar new year, I don't blame you, I don't blame you at all, besides, I'm angry." Zhong Chongtang said.

"You guys are kind and filial, I'm the only bad old man," Zhong Lubai snorted twice, and said, "In the early years, you went to the wild outside for many years and didn't return home. You thought you died outside, and your father still I recognized you as a daughter-in-law, and later recognized a son. At least someone burned a stick of incense and kowtowed to you. When you came back, you didn’t even look at the couple and drove them out. You picked up two cheap sons yourself. People want to harm you as a treasure."

"Woo." Chu Wu cried again.

"Third Grandpa, don't say anything that doesn't listen to you." Zhong Chongtang said.

"This is a bit wrong. On the fifth day of the junior high school, he is still my cheap apprentice. He is supposed to be a generation older than you. You have to call him uncle. I can't treat you as a cheap son." Zhong Lubai said.

"You still recognize him as an apprentice?" Zhong Chongtang wondered.

"It doesn't matter if I recognize people who have nothing to do with you. If anyone asks me seriously, I will definitely not say anything." Zhong Lubai said.

"Grandpa, you are such a weird person, what are you thinking?" Chu Wu asked.

"I just came to see you. I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I thought, if Chongtang suddenly wants to get away, I will take you back, bargain with Boyou and the others, and forget about beating you up. I will recognize you as our Zhong." Family members. In the future, Chongtang will be the head of the family, so he will have the final say on the rules?" Zhong Lubai said.

"Third Grandpa, you should just think of something good. Second Uncle and the others have to listen to you, an old fool, and I have to be stupid enough to believe it." Zhong Chongtang said.

"What about Pingping?" Chuwu asked stupidly.

"The child of the Feng family still has to be thrown away. That girl is too scary. If she doesn't throw it away, she will have to be found." Zhong Lubai said.

"That can't be done, Mr. Chongtang, can't it." Chu Wu said.

"Don't worry, the fifth day, no." Zhong Chongtang touched Pingping's little head with one hand and smiled.

"Big fool, little fool." Zhong Lubai let out a long sigh, raised his palm and patted Chu Wu's back lightly, and said, "Get up, the poison is almost cleared up, and then ask Chongtang to recuperate and practice your internal skills Just be firmer."

"Grandfather," Chu Wu turned over and kowtowed to Zhong Lubai, and said, "Thank you for teaching me Kung Fu and saving my life. Although you also hurt me, you still treat me better. I am not angry with you."

"Go out and don't tell people that you are my apprentice." Zhong Lubai said.

"Oh." Chu Wu said.

Zhong Lubai stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder to lift him up, sighed again, somewhat reluctantly, shook his head and said: "I can only help you here, the road ahead is dangerous, please ask for blessings. "

"Thank you third grandfather." Zhong Chongtang said.

"Thank you for being an idiot? Didn't kill you?" Zhong Lubai smiled, walked slowly to the grave, stared at the word "Zhong Luqing" on the tombstone, stroked the sleeves of his robe , sweep away some dust.

"Third Grandfather, why is this grandfather buried here?" Zhong Chongtang asked.

"He is also disobedient," Zhong Lubai chuckled suddenly, and said, "You became famous in the Jianghu because of Qi Yun's challenge? You fought ten times in a row, and you beat the master of the Hou's mansion. Qi Yun beat you It was lively these years, earlier and earlier, before you were born, Weinan Zhongjia and Weibei Houfu had a river competition every year, and several people from each family took turns to compete against each other, which was also an annual lively event matter."

"I heard this story when I was young, is it him?" Zhong Chongtang asked.

"It's him. He is 12 years older than me. He is the most powerful expert in the ninth generation of the Zhong family. He played Jiangshang Lei at the age of 17. That year, the Zhong family won the Hou's house. Later, he met a girl with deep roots. He also taught the Zhong family kung fu. The girl played in Jiangshang for the Hou family in the next year, and the Zhong family suffered a crushing defeat. This piece of hanging cliff faces the wall and thinks about it until death." Zhong Lubai said.

"Why bother? When I heard this story back then, I thought it was unreasonable. In martial arts, even if the same move and the same style are used by different people, the power is very different. Even if the girl knows the Zhong family kung fu, she can win because she is the best. Grandpa Lu Qing may be disturbed by emotion, so he can't concentrate on the martial arts competition. He is not the only one in the Zhong family, and if everyone can't fight, it's because his kung fu is not good, and it's only because he spread the martial arts is just an excuse." Zhong Chongtang said.

"Since then, the Jiangshang competition has been discontinued. The Zhong family and the Hou's family have been at odds for decades and have cut off all contact. The Zhong family's private teaching of martial arts to outsiders is such a big deal. It is to pay him half of his life. Why do you think so?" Zhong Lubai said.

"Then you teach fifth day kung fu again?" Zhong Chongtang asked.

"I'm so confused," Zhong Lubai said with a smile, "I used to lie on the edge of the cliff and use a rope to drop a bamboo basket to give him something to eat. I couldn't see him, and I always wanted to climb up. Look at him. When I have mastered my kung fu, I can come up, but I can only collect his body. That night I was practicing swords in front of his grave, and I saw Chu Wu coming out of the cracks in the rocks. I clapped my hands and said that I am good at juggling swords. It looks good. My confused mind suddenly thought, maybe the person in this tomb has been reincarnated as a human, and when I realize it clearly, I think again, so what if I teach him a few tricks?"

"Third Grandpa..." Zhong Chongtang looked at him and shook his head.

"Call me old fool." Zhong Lubai looked back at the big one, the two young and the three, clasped his fists slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, old fool, it's useless to say that now, you run away if you can, go It’s fine to live an ordinary life incognito. The people who searched the mountains dispersed along the stream to the west, so you go east.”

"Grandpa..."

Before Chu Wu finished speaking, Zhong Lubai jumped out of the cliff lightly, folded in the air, flew up, and disappeared in an instant.
