The dream of "Tenderness of Iron Hands" begins in Tokyo

====================================

The fifth year of Zhenghe in the Northern Song Dynasty (1115).early February.The northern suburb of Xuanzhou City.

On the rugged and narrow mountain path of Jingting Mountain, two fast horses galloped in the torrential rain, one in front and the other behind.Immediately, both of them were wearing hats and coir raincoats, one of them was smaller and galloped in front, the other tall and burly followed closely behind, but it was none other than the four famous arresters Zhong Tieshou and his little junior sister Lu Mengyun. Go to Jiangnan to handle the case.

Six days ago, Bianjing Shenhou Mansion received an emergency letter from Hangzhou Mansion saying that the prostitute from Dali Kingdom "Blood Camellia" had appeared in Qiantang again to commit crimes, so they went to Jiangnan for reinforcements under the order of Mr. Zhuge.Because of the seriousness of the case, the saints were alarmed, and they dared not delay, so they rushed to Hangzhou early and late at night.Although it was early spring at this time, the weather was much warmer, but after all, the spring was cold, and after staying in Luzhou, there was a cold wave and rainy days, so the journey became slow and difficult.

On this day, according to the plan, they should rush to Xuanzhou City to stay overnight before dark, but because of the rain, they only traveled to the mountainous area north of the city at dusk, and the wind and rain became more and more severe.Obviously, the coir raincoats of the two of them were useless, and their bodies were mostly wet, but they couldn't even find a place to shelter from the rain on this mountain road with no village in front and no shop behind, so they had to keep going.

The road became muddy, especially the rain and fog in the mountains, and the rising and falling ignored the wilderness.Tieshou was familiar with the terrain and knew that there should be a curve ahead. Seeing that Lu Mengyun was still speeding up, he secretly worried, and hurriedly shouted: "Junior sister, slow down!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the front hoof of the mount under Lu Mengyun slipped, and he turned over and fell sideways.The mountain path is extremely narrow, only to hear the horse neigh and fall straight down the cliff.

Lu Mengyun was quick to react, the moment the horse rolled over, she leaped into the air, swung the whip in her hand and wrapped it around the slanting tree trunk on the mountain on the right side of the road, and she was suspended in the air for a while.Tie Shou was shocked when he saw this, he patted his horse forward, jumped up, hugged his junior sister in his arms with one hand, and held the rein with the other hand, the two fell back on the horse's back at the same time in an instant.

"Junior Sister! Are you injured?" Tie Shou stopped the mount, hugged Lu Mengyun and jumped off the horse, looking at her and asked nervously.

"No. It's just... I was taken aback." Lu Mengyun was still in shock, her legs felt weak.She was wet and shivering with cold.

Tie Shou saw his younger sister's face turned pale, and a bloodstain was drawn on her forehead by a branch, she felt very sad, and hurriedly said: "It's raining too much, I can't go anymore. You're all wet, you have to find a place to hide Avoid, or you will catch a cold." He was a little anxious, looked around, but saw two large rocks stacked on top of the mountain not far away, and there seemed to be a small recessed space in the middle, which should be able to take shelter temporarily After a while, he said: "Let's go and hide there for a while, and we will leave after the rain stops." After saying that, he tied the horse under the tree beside the road, then put his arms around the slender waist of the junior sister, performed lightness kung fu and swept up.

The two came under the rock, Tie Shou saw that the entrance of the cave was very small, fearing that there would not be enough room inside, he asked the younger junior sister to hide in first.Lu Mengyun ducked in, and after a few steps, she felt that the space above her head became higher, and she could stand up straight.After a while her eyes adapted to the dark place, and with the dim light from the cave entrance, she saw that the cave seemed quite big, so she hurriedly shouted out: "Brother Iron Hand, come in quickly, it's very spacious inside."

Hearing the words, Tie Shou got into the hole, took out a torch and a candle from his waist, and lit it.After the fire was lit, the two looked around and couldn't help but be overjoyed.I saw that the cave was nearly one zhang in size, leaning against the innermost mountain wall, there was a hay sleeping bed on the ground, and there were firewood, kettles and other utensils for making fire and boiling water in the left hand corner.

Tie Shou took off his coir raincoat and said with a smile: "Good luck! This should be a resting place for the nearby mountain people to work in the mountains. Let's borrow it for the time being and leave some silver coins when we leave. Junior sister, you are all wet Now, change your clothes quickly. I’ll go to the entrance of the cave to light a fire.” As he spoke, he picked up the firewood and fire tools and walked to the entrance of the cave, with his back turned to the inside.

Lu Mengyun untied the burden on her back but couldn't help crying secretly.It turned out that her coir raincoat had a hole in it, and her bundle was all wet.The clean clothes inside can also wring out water.

"Brother, I...my clothes are all wet." She said with a mournful face.

"Huh?" Tie Shou turned around and frowned when he saw it. He hesitated a little, then took out a shirt and a clean sweat towel from his bag, and said softly, "If you don't mind my junior sister, you can wear it first." This one, I'll help you dry your clothes after a fire is lit."

"Thank you, brother!" Lu Mengyun took the clothes, saw Tie Shou walking towards the entrance of the cave, quickly took off her wet clothes, dried her body with a towel and put on Tie Shou's clothes.The wide robe covered her thin and exquisite body, which looked empty, and the long hem dragged to the ground. She hurriedly tied her belt, and then went to sit cross-legged on the grass bed and wipe her hair.She said shyly,

"Brother, I'm ready...it's raining at the entrance of the cave, come in."

"It's nothing." Tie Shou smiled, he skillfully lit a fire, and set up a shelf to boil water.After a while, he went back into the cave and sat down beside Lu Mengyun, and handed her a small gourd. "Here, take a sip to warm your body."

Lu Mengyun wondered, "Why does Brother Tie Shou also bring wine?"

"This gourd was given to me by my third junior brother. It's quite small. I always take it with me on business trips. Although I'm not good at drinking, it's good for me to bring wine. First, it can relieve fatigue and warm up in the wild. Second, it can be used to detoxify if injured. "

"Brother is thoughtful in doing things!" Lu Mengyun praised, reached out to take the gourd, and raised her head to take a big sip.The wine was very strong, and she felt that it was hot, so she couldn't help closing her eyes and curling her tongue, "It's so spicy."

Tie Shou saw that her hair was disheveled, her face was clean and pretty, and she was wearing his own clothes, which was a bit nondescript. Now her expression was so funny and cute. He loved her so much that he couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek.Lu Mengyun was closing her eyes when she was caught off guard by his kiss. With an "ah", she subconsciously shrank to the side, her face flushed and she lowered her head.

Tie Shou saw that she seemed timid, and suddenly felt that he was a little too impulsive.After all, it would be bad for a lonely man and a widow to be considered frivolous by his junior sister.He apologized: "I'm sorry, Junior Sister! I... I'm just so happy to see you..."

In fact, there was only a slight unease in Lu Mengyun's heart, and soon she felt more joy than fear, because she could trust Tie Shou as a person, so she shook her head slightly.

The two were silent for a while, in order to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, Lu Mengyun said: "Brother, I'm a little hungry."

"Oh, oh," Tie Shou hurriedly said, "It's a good thing I saved a few steamed buns for lunch. Otherwise, I would really be starving. I'll bake them."

After finishing speaking, he took out his personal dagger and put steamed buns on a fork. After warming up on the fire, he filled his junior sister with hot water, and poured hot water into her kettle.

Lu Mengyun saw that Tie Shou acted calmly and neatly, and was considerate of herself, she felt joyful and at ease.

It was getting dark soon, but the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping. The two knew that they could only stay in the cave overnight.Tie Shou asked Lu Mengyun to sleep on the straw bunk first, and then went to the fire by the cave entrance to dry clothes.

Although the grass bunk was not very comfortable, Lu Mengyun slept soundly without a dream all night. When she woke up, she only felt warm all over. It turned out that her clothes were dried by iron hands and covered her body.She turned to face the entrance of the cave, only to see that the rain had passed and the sky was clear outside, the east was dawning, and the rays of the morning sun were shining into the cave through the gaps in the clouds.

Xu Shi baked the clothes very late last night, and she saw Tie Shou sitting on the mountain wall and still sleeping.The morning sun was reflected on his handsome side face, the bridge of the nose was high and the lips were firm, the starry eyes were drooping and the sword eyebrows were flying slantingly, and the short beard that had just grown on the square jaw... Only Lu Mengyun loved him so much. Will surge.She walked lightly to the side of her senior brother and knelt down, looked at him for a long time, and couldn't help but raised her hand to brush away the few strands of hair hanging on his forehead.

Suddenly, Lu Mengyun's hand was gently held by a big hand, and when she looked again, the iron hand had opened her eyes and looked at her with a smile. warm embrace.The two of them hugged each other without talking, only watching the golden crow slowly rising from the east finally jumped out of the sea of ​​clouds. In an instant, thousands of rays of light spread out like a bird's screen, illuminating the tops of the mountains. The clouds are steaming and the rosy clouds are blooming, which is too beautiful to behold.

Lu Mengyun was fascinated by watching it, she leaned her head on Tie Shou's shoulder, and praised: "It's really beautiful! I'm willing to teach my senior brother to watch the sunrise here for the rest of my life!"

Tie Shou was very moved, he hugged her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her hair, and said softly: "Little Junior Sister, once the case in Hangzhou is over, I will draw up a plan with Uncle Yang Shi and me." wedding post, and then go back to Suzhou with you, and go to your house to ask for marriage."

"En!" Lu Mengyun nodded shyly.

"It's just... I'm still a little worried..."

"worry about what?"

"My age... Is it a little older than you? I don't know if Gao Tang in your family will be worried..."

"No!" Lu Mengyun straightened up and looked at Tie Shou, she said firmly: "My marriage is my own decision, even my parents can't control it. Besides, you are a famous arrester from the imperial court, a dignified doctor of the fifth grade Yiwei, The imperial court ordered the official, my family is just a commoner, if you want to say that you are a good match, wouldn't it be that I have adored you?"

"I'm always open-minded. Marriage doesn't ask questions, and there's no such thing as high and low. Besides, you also know that I never cared about these false names."

"Yeah! I don't care about being an official or not, I just want to be with you for the rest of my life!"

Tie Shou was overjoyed when he heard the words, turned his head to find her soft and moist lips, and printed them on them.Lu Mengyun didn't evade any more, closed her eyes and parted her cherry lips lightly, responding jerky and tenderly to his ardent love pouring in.For a moment, the two of them depended on each other, their fragrances blended together, and the tenderness and sweetness slid between the entwined tongues... A kind of happiness that had never been felt before filled Lu Mengyun's heart, and her arms instinctively hugged Tie Shou's back , so tight...

After the rain, the sky is clear, the blue sky is like washing, and the spring mountains are picturesque.Lu Mengyun leaned on the arms of the iron hand like a bird, and the two rode together, facing the morning wind and basking in the rising sun, and continued to drive southeast.
