[Yi Tian] It's not easy to be famous and decent

In Huanglinggang, Shandong Province, Mo Shenggu's pseudonym Mo Qi has been staying here for ten days as a man who built the embankment.Dressed in ragged clothes, with a hemp rope tied around the waist, they stepped on the mud with bare legs, and together with many yellow and emaciated peasants, under the pressure of Yuan soldiers and swords, they moved stones to build river embankments.Working endlessly every day, what he eats is porridge that can almost reflect the face of a person, and even the water is not guaranteed to be sufficient. Under such circumstances, the Wudang Seven Heroes, who are highly skilled in martial arts and famous, also rolled into a beggar in a few days. His thick beard was covered in sand and mud.The stones used to build the embankment were extremely poorly fired. Once Mo Shenggu tried to pinch the stones randomly and turned them into fine powder. Some river sections even used straw and crushed soil as stones to build embankments.The embankment built in this way obviously has no effect on preventing floods. Only three days ago, the Yellow River flooded again, destroying a section of the newly built embankment and killing dozens of people.The civilian husbands who were forced to do hard labor to repair the dike saw this and wanted to flee in all directions, but Yuan soldiers killed several of them on the spot.The peasants did not dare to run away again, but the Yellow River was flooded before and then there were swords to persecute them, and the newly built embankments were not protected, so the peasants became more and more resentful.And that spark is exactly the purpose of Mo Shenggu's lurking here, and it was buried secretly on a section of river beach as early as ten days ago.According to the current progress of repairing the embankment, it can be ignited within one or two days!

Liu Futong, the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect who was also lurking here disguised as a civilian husband, took the opportunity of carrying the stones and walked to Mo Shenggu's side and whispered: "Today is not the time!"

Mo Shenggu knew that what he was talking about was the time to dig out the stone man, and the matter was of great importance, so he just nodded slightly and did not respond.

"Those Yuan soldiers will leave to Qilang!" Liu Futong couldn't help asking again.Liu Futong has been among the peasants for a long time because of this uprising. He is bold and responsible, and he is a leading figure among the peasants.Not long ago, Mo Shenggu came to Bailu Village to report to them, only then did they know that there was a traitor in the sect. It didn't take much effort to kill the traitor, but the news about the uprising leaked out, and the White Lotus sect was lost within a few days. There are many masters, and at the same time there are twice as many Yuan soldiers along the embankment of Huanglinggang to monitor the civilian husbands who are repairing the embankment.The uprising was already on the line, and when Han Shantong of the White Lotus Sect was at a loss, Mo Shenggu recommended himself to come to Huanglinggang to work with Liu Futong.The Seven Heroes of Wudang volunteered, and everyone in the White Lotus Sect was overjoyed.And Mo Shenggu is indeed a hero. Three days ago when the Yellow River flooded, Mo Shenggu saved more than ten civilians by himself. Now the civilians on the embankment all respectfully call him "Mo Qilang".

Mo Shenggu raised his head and glanced at the Yuan soldiers who were watching them repairing the embankment, and said softly: "You fellows." Liu Futong cupped his hands carefully, turned and left.Mo Shenggu frowned slightly at this moment, at this moment, what he was worried about was not the imminent event, but his nephew Song Qingshu.That day and night, he left Taiyuan Wang's house to go to Yongnian to deliver a letter to Mo Shenggu, but he did not expect that this matter would be delayed for a long time.Although he promised to come to Huanglinggang to assist Liu Futong in the rebellion, it is righteousness to die, but Mo Shenggu still misses his nephew who has just left the rivers and lakes, and entrusts the Bailian sect to send a letter to Taiyuan so that Song Qingshu can stay at Wang's house and wait for him to finish Huangling After the Gang incident, he exchanged a contract with him and returned to Wudang.But they didn't know that the congregation who was in charge of delivering the letter actually brought back Song Qingshu's handwritten letter from Wang's house. In the letter, he only casually said that it is an opportunity to go out of the rivers and lakes for the first time, and he wants to visit famous mountains and rivers to gain knowledge.And he himself disappeared the day after Mo Shenggu left the Wang family.It is entirely conceivable how furious Mo Shenggu was when he saw this letter. If he didn't know that the matter of the uprising was far more important than ten Song Qingshus, Mo Shenggu might have rushed back to Taiyuan to dig the ground. Sanchi also finds out this lifeless nephew and punishes him according to the family rules.The so-called sinister Jianghu, a young man who is only fifteen years old, really thinks he has the ability to make a name for himself in the Jianghu?joke!Mo Shenggu spent two days in this anger, and on the third day he suddenly felt something was wrong.His nephew, although he was once proud and arrogant when he was young, now he seems to be getting more and more restrained every year, even if it is true that the young man's heart is like a wild horse, he will not go away, so there is no news to teach him The Seventh Uncle was worried for nothing.Thinking of this, he immediately asked Liu Futong to send his congregation to Taiyuan to wait for Song Qingshu's news.And so far, the period of one month has passed in a blink of an eye, and there has been no news from Qingshu.Is it happy to miss Shu or get into trouble?Mo Shenggu didn't want to be the former, but he was more worried about the latter.

However, no matter how Mo Shenggu deduces, he never expected that Song Qingshu was hunted down for half a month!After breaking out of the encirclement of the Yanshan Mountains and leaving Dadu, he traveled all the way to Hebei and Shandong. In more than half a month, Song Qingshu pretended to be a rich man traveling in the mountains and rivers, and a boudoir girl returning home from his father. One of the tens of millions of displaced persons.Since the Yellow River burst at the beginning of this year, more than a dozen prefectures and counties have been reduced to Zeguo, and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. Song Qingshu is now hiding among these victims and fleeing all the way to the vicinity of Huanglinggang.Along the way, he fought against the eagles and dogs sent by the Ruyang Palace several times. It was lucky that Song Qingshu was able to save his life, but at this time, his downfall was not much different from the victims of the disaster, and beside him was a six-year-old boy. boys.

The boy's name is Ye Qingquan, and the family had a small family originally, but the flood was ruthless. After the Yellow River burst, his grandfather and father were buried underwater, and his mother took him to flee alone. The county towns that passed by lack of clothing and food along the way refused to take him in. After the catastrophe, the thieves raised their orphans and widows again. When they reached Caozhou, they were unable to move forward.Seeing that there were two more hungry people on the road, they unexpectedly met Song Qingshu at this time.At that time Song Qingshu had just killed a few masters sent by the Ruyang Palace, seeing a large number of disaster victims wandering aimlessly, he simply pretended to be disaster victims to cover up his whereabouts.Although the money on his body has long been exhausted due to being chased all the way, Song Qingshu is a martial arts practitioner after all, and he will not starve to death when hunting in the forest and catching fish in the water.That day when he caught a roe deer in the forest, he lit a fire and roasted it until it was half-cooked, when Ye Qingquan, who was only six years old, came to snatch it.The result of the snatching was naturally obvious, but Song Qingshu couldn't bear it when he saw that he was hungry and skinny, so he gave him half a roe deer.Ye Qingquan was very filial even though he was beating the drum in his belly, so he gave the half roe deer to his mother first.Unexpectedly, Ye Qingquan's mother gave all the little food that Ye Qingquan's mother got along the way to her son. By this time, she had already run out of fuel, and it was difficult to escape. Only Song Qingshu helped their mother and son, and she refused Ye Qingquan's feed. The roe deer meat that reached her mouth managed to prop up her shriveled body and kowtowed to Song Qingshu, who died before the startled Song Qingshu helped her up.Because of the lack of food, Song Qingshu didn't even dare to bury Ye Qingquan's mother for fear that someone would dig her up and eat her as soon as he left, so he had to cremate the body and found an earthen jar to collect the ashes for Ye Qingquan to take with him. .When they were on the road again, Song Qingshu had an extra child who depended on him to take care of him.

"Brother Song, let me down, I can walk by myself." At this time, Ye Qingquan was lying on Song Qingshu's back, and Song Qingshu carried him all the way forward.Ye Qingquan has no relatives in this world, and Song Qingshu has already regarded him as a close relative for a few days.Although he is young, he is very sensible. He often hears Song Qingshu coughing these days, and he understands that his elder brother Song may be the best in martial arts, but now he is injured.Seeing Song Qingshu walking with him on his back for half an hour, his complexion turned pale and he was about to struggle to get down.

"Don't move around! How much do you think you weigh? You don't have any meat!" Song Qingshu patted his butt twice and took out a piece of bread from his arms to him, "Eat it first when you're hungry."

Ye Qingquan took the bread and took a bite, his eyes suddenly turned red. "It would be great if I could meet Brother Song sooner." When he and his mother first fled, they still had some food and silver with them, but they were snatched away not long after, and even if someone saw their mother and son pity them Food will always be surrounded by other disaster victims. "In the future, I will be like Brother Song, learn martial arts well, and prevent the people around me from being bullied!"

Song Qingshu didn't know how to comfort him, so he forced a smile and said: "Remember what you said today, don't be afraid of hardship when you go to Wudang to practice martial arts in the future."

"No way! I have learned martial arts and I still need to protect Brother Song." Ye Qingquan said softly, stretched out his hands to wrap around Song Qingshu's neck and pressed his cheeks tightly against his back, and after a while, Song Qingshu's back The clothes on my back were soaked.

Song Qingshu secretly sighed and was about to tease him, when he suddenly heard dozens of fast horses galloping behind him, he turned his head and saw a few familiar faces among them, his expression changed and he hugged Ye Qingquan tightly He quickened his pace again.

Behind him, the soldiers and horses of Ruyang Prince's Mansion had caught and identified the victims one by one, and interrogated them from time to time if they had ever seen a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy wearing a green suit and wearing a long sword.Those disaster victims didn't even care about their own lives, so they didn't pay attention to others, and they all said they had never seen it.I thought that although those Yuan soldiers are always domineering and disregarding their life and death, at least they will not kill them casually, but who knows that they have just said a word, and the sharp knife is already on the body.Seeing this, the rest of the victims all panicked and fled in all directions, but how could two legs be faster than four?After a while, behind Song Qingshu, there was already a sound of killing like hell.

"Zhang Wuji!" This time it was Ah Da from Ruyang Prince's Mansion who led the Yuan soldiers to chase him. He sat high on his horse and signaled his troops to stop killing temporarily, and only galloped back and forth around those victims who had no time to escape. Threatening, at the same time using internal force to mobilize his voice and shout loudly, "Since you are a descendant of Wudang, do you know the word 'chivalry'? If you don't show up, these people will all die because of you! Zhang Wuji! Come out and die!"

Yuan soldiers were so cruel Song Qingshu couldn't help being shocked and angry, but he also understood that this time he really couldn't get away, he hid Ye Qingquan behind a big tree and supported his shoulders and said softly: "Qingquan, Brother Song just I can send you here." Ah Da didn't know him, but he had heard of Ah Da's reputation in the last life, he was definitely not Ah Da's opponent!

"Brother Song, don't go!" Ye Qingquan also seemed to have understood something, and held Song Qingshu's sleeve tightly, refusing to relax. "People die every day, how many can you save? People die every day, we've all seen it..."

"It's different, Qingquan. Brother Song has learned the word 'chivalry', and you will understand these two characters when you go to Wudang." He took out a dagger and handed it to Ye Qingquan, "Brother Song taught you to hunt with a slingshot , leave this dagger for your self-defense. When you arrive in Wudang, bring me a message to the hero Song Yuanqiao of the Wudang faction. Just say, after the eighth brick on the west side of Room [-], Tianzi, Baoding Taihe Inn, the medicine of the third uncle is important important!"

"Brother Song!" Ye Qingquan burst into tears.

"Do you remember?" Song Qingshu reached out to help Ye Qingquan wipe away tears, as if they were just parting for a while.

"Remember." Ye Qingquan nodded fiercely, and repeated that sentence in tears.

"Good boy!" Song Qingshu patted him on the head with a smile, "Qingquan, you have excellent aptitude for Wudang Changquan, and you have just learned the tricks of Wudang Changquan, which is enough to protect yourself. You must be careful along the way, and don't let me be ashamed by an easy death." See your mother." After speaking, he took the long cloth bag that Ye Qingquan was holding all the time and thrust it on the ground forcefully, and pulled it casually, "Hanguang" who had been hidden for a long time finally appeared in front of everyone.This sword was personally given to him by Song Yuanqiao on his birthday last year, black iron was added to it during smelting, it really cuts iron like mud and is exceptionally sharp.In the previous life, the sword never left his side until his death.He got up and drew the sword out of its sheath, flicked the sword with the index finger of his left hand, and the sword with the lights vibrated immediately, like a Qianlong locked in a deep box for a long time and groaned wildly.
