Song Qingshu of Wudang Mountain

Chapter 11 Out of the city, back to the mountain

Mandu Ratu died in the end, but a newborn Mandu Ratu survived.

Zhang Cuishan couldn't let go of that Mongolian woman's eyes full of hatred for a long time.For that woman, isn't she the murderer who killed her husband and destroyed her family?How is this different from what the Mongols are doing to the Han people now?

Li Lancui put the child beside the Mongolian woman, walked to her husband, buried her head in her husband's arms, and sobbed softly.She was just a village woman, and everything tonight was too heavy for her. She personally delivered the baby to her enemy's wife, which made the poor woman feel guilty for the dead child from her heart.

Liu Genmin looked at Mandu Ratu who died next to his wife and children. The anger just now had disappeared. He didn't feel the pleasure after revenge, but felt a kind of confusion. After all, he just treated him like a Mongol. As he did, he created an orphan with his own hands.

He hugged his wife and said to Song Yuanqiao, "Hero, can you take me away?"

Song Yuanqiao nodded, and said to Yu Daiyan: "You have a forehead, what's your name?" This sentence was for the scholar.

The scholar said, "My name is Li Zhao."

Song Yuanqiao nodded: "Well, third brother, you take Li Zhao, fifth brother, you take er, how about you?" This was said to Li Lancui.

Liu Genmin quickly replied, "Her name is Li Lancui."

"Alright, fifth brother, you take Li Lancui with you."

Yu Daiyan asked Li Zhao at this time, "Are you familiar with this mansion?"

Li Zhao nodded.

"Then do you know which direction to go out the fastest?"

Li Zhao pointed to the southwest: "There is a garden behind this small building, and the street is outside the garden."

"Okay, let's go."

Song Yuanqiao and Yu Daiyan put one arm around the waists of the other two, Zhang Cuishan was slightly weaker, so he could only carry Li Lancui on his back, and he didn't care about the defense of men and women in the face of life and death.

Suddenly, with a wave of Yu Daiyan's right hand, a small stone shot at the Mongolian woman, knocking her unconscious immediately.

"Okay, let's go!"

The six people jumped out of the back window and walked along the garden to the back wall. Fortunately, the vegetation around the garden was lush, and a group of people hid and hid and finally came to the wall.

Song Yuanqiao and Yu Daiyan crossed with their people one after another, Zhang Cuishan followed closely behind, stepped on the wall twice to borrow strength, and climbed out of the wall.

Walking along the wall along the road, no one said a word, and soon Yu Daiyan climbed over the wall and entered a courtyard. This was originally the home of a stable woman, but the whole family moved out, and it became an empty courtyard.Originally, there were beggars occupying the magpie's nest, but they were killed by the Mongols who were looking for Wen Po, and no one dared to live there anymore.

This is the foothold arranged by Qingfeng. Everyone rests here, waiting for the city gate to open before leaving the city at dawn.

The three people in Wudang worked hard all night, not to mention their bodies were exhausted, and more than half of their energy was consumed, and now they all meditated to restore their energy.

At this time, Liu Genmin said to Song Yuanqiao: "Dare to ask the hero Gao's name? Why did you go deep into the tiger's den to save my husband and wife?"

Song Yuanqiao said: "A humble name is nothing to worry about, I am waiting for your mother's kindness, and I am here to save you two."

Yu Daiyan turned to Li Zhao and said, "Saving you is just incidental."

Li Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "I used to eat and drink well in the Dalu Huachi Mansion, but you killed the mansion owner as soon as you came, and even the Mongolian woman hated me, forcing me to follow If you run away together, do you think this is forced prostitution?"

Yu Daiyan was delighted: "Hey, you are indeed a scholar, I like forcing prostitutes to be good."

Liu Genmin continued to ask Song Yuanqiao: "Dare to ask the hero, where is my mother now?"

Song Yuanqiao sighed and said, "Oh, your mother has passed away."

Both Liu Genmin and Li Lancui were shocked: "How could it be? She was fine when she went to Wudang Mountain two days ago, how could she be gone all of a sudden?"

Song Yuanqiao stretched out his hand to untie the face scarf: "To be honest, we are disciples of Wudang. Here at Song Yuanqiao, these are my third junior brother Yu Daiyan and fifth junior brother Zhang Cuishan. It is precisely because your mother died in Wudang Mountain that we are waiting to send your mother home. After returning home, I learned that your husband and wife were captured by the Mongols, and came to rescue you in order to repay your mother’s kindness. Fortunately, you two were rescued safely, and your mother’s kindness has not been let down.”

Liu Genmin and his wife knelt on the ground and wept loudly.

Li Zhao said to Song Yuanqiao at this time: "Hero Song, I have admired your name for a long time. May I ask what should we do now?"

Song Yuanqiao replied: "Don't worry, you can make arrangements later."

Everyone lost interest in talking, only Liu Genmin and his wife were still crying.

After a while, suddenly there was a voice from outside the room. Song Yuanqiao heard a person who should have climbed over the wall. He walked quickly to the door of the room, knocked on the door and said, "Third Master, I am Qingfeng." It is the breeze.

Yu Daiyan hurriedly opened the door to let the breeze in.

Qingfeng was wearing a black night clothes, and said to several people as soon as he entered the door: "There is no movement in Dalu Huachi Mansion, I think your rescue has not been discovered yet, let's go out of the city quickly, I'm afraid things will change if it's late .”

Yu Daiyan asked: "Are you all ready?"

"Yeah." Qingfeng replied.

Yu Daiyan said to everyone: "Next, we will go out of the city on the waterwheel of Daluhuachifu, but each of you must not make a sound, otherwise we will all be ruined. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded, it was about their own safety and everyone's safety, but Charming dared to make jokes.

When everyone followed Qingfeng out of the courtyard and climbed over the wall to go out again, they saw a row of three carriages, each with a large barrel, parked quietly in the alley.

Qingfeng walked to the wooden barrel, pressed it somewhere, and saw a hole popped out of the wooden barrel. The opening was not big enough for an adult to get in.

Yu Daiyan said: "Brother, you share a bucket with Fifth Brother, I share a bucket with Li Zhao, and Liu Genmin and his wife share a bucket."

Everyone followed Yu Daiyan's arrangement and got into the barrel one by one. The space inside the barrel was so small that it could barely accommodate two people curled up, with their heads resting on the bottom of the barrel, and their bodies could not move at all.There are several small holes on the bottom plate to keep the air circulating so as not to suffocate people to death.

After the six people got into the bucket, three people came from nowhere and drove the carriage towards the city gate.

The six people felt the vibration of the carriage at the bottom of the barrel, and they all held their breath, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the gate of the city and was stopped by a group of guarding soldiers.

Zhang Cuishan listened carefully through the wooden barrel, and heard two people conversing in Mongolian again. Not long after, the carriage started to move again, and the bumps became more and more bumpy, presumably because after leaving the city, the road outside the city was not easy to travel.

Zhang Cuishan admired Qingfeng a little at this time, he didn't know how he managed to get the Mongols to let people out of the city in the middle of the night.

The carriage went faster and faster, and after about a cup of tea, the carriage stopped.

The groom who drove the carriage opened the barrel and let a few people out. After Zhang Cuishan came out, he saw that he was already in the wilderness. He cupped his fists and said to the groom who drove the carriage, "Thank you for your help!"

The grooms acted as if they hadn't heard, and after the six of them came out, they drove the carriage and drove away quickly.

After the carriage left, Yu Daiyan asked everyone to follow him, and when they came to a forest, Zhang Cuishan found that there was already a carriage and four horses tied to the tree.

Song Yuanqiao said to Liu Genmin and his wife: "Brother Liu, we feel very sorry for your mother's death, but the most important thing at the moment is to save the lives of your husband and wife, which is the greatest repayment to Mrs. Liu. We prepare for you and your wife. I bought a carriage, and there were some soft goods and money in the carriage. I think you left Xiangyang City overnight and started a new life in a place where no one knew you. I will bury your mother's body in Wudang, and pay homage to it on time on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. .what do you think?"

Liu Genmin originally wanted to go back to see her mother for the last time, and take away the family's slightly valuable belongings, but after hearing what Song Yuanqiao said, he had no choice but to give up.

He is a farmer, everything he experienced tonight is like a dream, he couldn't help bowing deeply to Song Yuanqiao, Li Lancui also imitated her husband
"Wudang's great favor, Liu Genmin will never forget it in his life, thank you Song Daxia, thank you Yu Daxia, thank you Zhang Daxia."

The three Wudang people also clasped their hands and clasped their fists in return.

Liu Genmin helped his wife into the carriage, sat on the shaft of the carriage, yelled like driving an ox, the carriage moved forward slowly, and soon disappeared at the end of the road.

Song Yuanqiao watched Liu Genmin and his wife go away, heaved a long sigh of relief, and let go of a heavy burden in his heart.

"Finally, the matter of Mrs. Liu has been dealt with properly. I just have to wait until I return to the mountain to bury Mrs. Liu." He smiled and said to the two juniors.

Then he looked at Li Zhao and asked, "Brother Li, what are your plans now?"

Li Zhao said: "I can't stay in HEN Province (Xiangyang belonged to Xiangyang Road, Henan Province in the Yuan Dynasty). I'm going to go to the Western Regions and join my father and friends."

Yu Daiyan said: "Looking at your appearance, you also have a strong family background. Han people are not allowed to read and learn art in class. How could they be reduced to interpreting for Mongolians?"

Li Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to say."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, and they didn't ask any more questions, they said goodbye to each other, only that the mountain is high and the road is far away, and there will be a period later, so they got on their horses and said goodbye.

Seeing that Li Zhao was also walking away, the three of them turned their horses around one after another, preparing to set off in the direction of Wudang Mountain.

At this time, Zhang Cuishan finally couldn't hold back and asked Yu Daiyan: "Third brother, I have three questions that I don't understand, please give me your advice!"

Seeing the sincerity of the fifth brother's question, Yu Daiyan nodded and said, "If you ask, the third brother knows everything, and he can tell you everything."

Zhang Cuishan immediately said: "The first question, why did you prepare four horses here? We originally only planned for Liu Genmin and his wife, three horses are enough for a carriage, why would we prepare an extra horse? You knew we would Save one more person?"

Yu Daiyan said: "This horse was originally prepared for Qingfeng, but it turned out to be cheaper than Li Zhao."

Zhang Cuishan nodded and continued, "Then the second question, how did we get out of the city?"

Yu Daiyan smiled, and showed what was in his hand. It was a token with Mongolian words written all over it.

"Hehe, the one that was picked off Daluhuachi's body was used to leave the city just now. The gate guards only thought we were carrying water for Daluhuachi's wife."

Song Yuanqiao smiled and said, "Third brother, I don't think your brains are worse than the fourth brother's. Why do everyone think you are not as smart as the fourth brother?"

Yu Daiyan replied: "That's because I let that little black skinny man fear that he would feel inferior."

Zhang Cuishan finally asked: "Last question, how do you know that the groom who was killed was a Mongolian?"

Yu Daiyan laughed loudly: "Guess!"

After all, he shouted and galloped his horse.

Zhang Cuishan hastily rode his horse to follow, and shouted loudly: "Yu Daiyan, wait for me!"

Song Yuanqiao laughed softly and rode his horse to follow.

When Wudang three people galloped wildly, in a side room of Shaolin Temple in Henan Province, a middle-aged monk was kneeling in front of an old monk, weeping bitterly.The old monk touched the head of the middle-aged monk and chanted in a low voice.

"The sea of ​​bitterness is boundless, turn your head and see the shore. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."

Exactly.

Enmity and hatred are temporary, and the cycle of heaven and law always follows.

The rivers and lakes are long and heartbroken, and I know that the disaster has already fallen.
