Song Qingshu of Wudang Mountain

Chapter 9
Song Yuanqiao thought for a while and said, "Go this way!"

After all, he went first, pointing to the direction where Zhang Cuishan smelled the stench, and Yu Daiyan followed immediately.

Soon, the three of them smelled a stench that only livestock had. Looking through the eaves, there was a stable below. There were four tall horses in the stable eating the night grass carefully prepared by the groom who woke up at night. .

And next to the stable, there was a low house, the door was locked, and there was a faint wail from inside.

"It seems that Mrs. Liu's son and daughter-in-law are there." Song Yuanqiao pointed to the locked house and said.

Zhang Cuishan asked strangely, "Why is there no guard?"

Yu Daiyan replied: "It's not an important person, what is there to guard? Besides, the many soldiers outside, you think it's just a display!"

After all, Zhang Cuishan was inexperienced, knowing that he had asked a stupid question, his face blushed, and he was embarrassed to speak again.

Song Yuanqiao said to Yu Daiyan: "Stop bullying Fifth Brother, prepare to do it!"

Yu Daiyan said: "I'm going to watch the wind." Saying that, he jumped off the roof, walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard, and carefully peeped out.

At the same time as Yu Daiyan got up, Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Cuishan also jumped to the ground, and then rushed straight to the locked room.

When they came outside the door, the groaning sound from inside the door became clearer, and it seemed that more than one person was wailing.

Song Yuanqiao gently pinched the door lock, twisted it with both hands, and the lock buckle broke open, making a very slight sound of metal clashing.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Cuishan was secretly startled, Song Yuanqiao's skill showed behind him, far beyond his reach.

When I opened the door, I saw a few men in ragged clothes and bloodstains lying in the thatch pile. The eyes saw the two people outside the door, and their bodies were motionless. Only the groans from their mouths proved that they were alive. , life is better than death.

Without hesitation, Song Yuanqiao came to a person and asked, "Are you Liu Genmin?" Liu Genmin is the son of Mrs. Liu.

The man didn't respond.

Zhang Cuishan also helped another person up and asked, "Are you Liu Genmin?"

The other person looked at him, but also didn't speak.

Just when Zhang Cuishan was about to ask another person, a young man came out from behind the thatch pile.

"I'm Liu Genmin, who are you?"

Song Yuanqiao was overjoyed, and quickly walked up to Liu Genmin and asked, "Are you Liu Genmin? Who is your mother?"

Liu Genmin said weakly: "My mother is Liu Xiying." Liu Xiying is Mrs. Liu.

"Very good, you come with us quickly, we are here to save you." Zhang Cuishan said happily, he did not expect things to go so smoothly.

Liu Genmin was also overjoyed and said, "That's great, you must save my daughter-in-law, she was taken away by the Mongols!"

Song Yuanqiao frowned suddenly: "What? Where did you take it?"

"I don't know." Liu Genmin shook his head.

Song Yuanqiao said: "You go with us first, and we will come in to save your wife after we get you out."

"No, I won't leave. My daughter-in-law is still in the hands of the Mongols. I want to save her! I won't leave!" Liu Genmin became more excited as he spoke, and his voice gradually became louder.

At this time, Yu Daiyan walked in quickly. He heard Liu Genmin's voice coming in. He heard Liu Genmin say that he would not leave, and asked Zhang Cuishan, "What's the matter? Why didn't he leave? Are you so happy?"

Zhang Cuishan shook his head: "He said his wife was taken away by the Mongols, and he insisted on waiting for her to leave with her."

Yu Daiyan asked again: "Where was his wife taken?"

Zhang Cuishan said: "How would I know!"

Seeing that Liu Genmin was swearing to die, he was very excited. If this continues, the patrolling soldiers will be alarmed. When the time comes, they will be surrounded by heavy siege, and the three of them may not be able to escape.

Song Yuanqiao made a decisive decision and wiped Liu Genmin's neck with his right hand, causing Liu Genmin to lose consciousness immediately.

"Let's go!" Song Yuanqiao carried Liu Genmin on his shoulders, and said to Yu and Zhang.

As soon as the three of them left the room, they saw a person coming out of the opposite room. It was the groom who was about to add hay to the horses.

Zhang Cuishan jumped in front of the groom and said to him, "Shh, don't be afraid, we are from Wudang Mountain, we are here to save people."

Hearing that Zhang Cuishan spoke Chinese, the groom opened his eyes wide and frightened, as if Zhang Cuishan was a scourge and was about to scream.

But he couldn't scream anymore, because a long sword pierced his carotid artery deeply, and the bright red blood gushed out from his mouth, with a layer of white foam, the groom seemed to have lost all his bones , fell limply to the ground.

The moment the groom fell to the ground, Zhang Cuishan flipped, the tiger hook and the judge's pen were already in his hands, and at the same time, he was a foot away from the groom. After doing these actions, he realized that it was himself who stabbed the groom to death. The third brother.

He looked at Yu Daiyan in disbelief, not believing that his third brother would kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Yu Daiyan also looked at him coldly, as if he was killed by Zhang Cuishan.

"Third brother, why?"

"Because he is a Mongol!"

Zhang Cuishan suddenly turned his head to look at the young groom, who had accumulated a large pool of bright red under his body, and was already on his deathbed, muttering something Zhang Cuishan couldn't understand, it was Mongolian.

Zhang Cuishan watched the groom's face gradually lose color, and his eyes gradually lost their luster. He said to his third brother with difficulty: "Then you don't have to kill him, do you?"

Yu Daiyan said coldly: "You killed him!"

Zhang Cuishan was furious, just as he was about to refute, he remembered that before the groom could speak, he had reported his family, if the groom didn't die, Wudang Mountain might suffer from military disaster.

He knew that neither Yu Daiyan, nor Song Yuanqiao, nor himself could afford to take this risk.

Therefore, Zhang Cuishan was indeed the one who killed the groom.

He put away his weapon and asked Yu Daiyan suspiciously: "How do you know he is a Mongolian?"

Yu Daiyan also put away his long sword, looked at Zhang Cuishan again with the expression that you don't know anything, and said, "Guess for yourself."

Song Yuanqiao was still carrying Liu Genmin, and stood at the door of the room looking at the two senior brothers. He could tell that the groom was a Mongolian, and he didn't have any strange feelings about the third brother killing the groom, because he died in his hands. There are not a few Mongolians here.

Although Zhang Sanfeng often taught his disciples not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, except for people of other races.

He knew that Yu Daiyan took the opportunity to teach Zhang Cuishan a lesson. Although time was tight, he did not stop it. This is a kind of inheritance of life experience, and sometimes it is this kind of experience, which often kills him.

When he saw that the two brothers had already dealt with the situation, he urged: "Let's go!"

After speaking, he jumped onto the roof. Although he was carrying a young man on his back, there was no hindrance in his actions.

The three of them passed through the floors of houses without any danger. When they passed a small building, they heard a female moan in pain, and the three of them stopped.

Zhang Cuishan said, "Could it be Liu Genmin's daughter-in-law?"

Yu Daiyan listened carefully and said, "It's possible, brother, what should we do? Should we save it or not?"

Song Yuanqiao thought for a while and said, "Save people to the end, and send Buddha to the west. Go and see, if it's really her, then let's rescue her together."

The three of them followed the sound to the roof of the small building, and when they lifted the roof tiles to have a look, they couldn't help being shocked.

As I said before, the Mongols divided the whole country into ten provinces, and there were roads, prefectures and counties under the provinces. The highest official of each road was called Dalu Huachi in Mongolia, and the general manager in Han.

And Dalu Huachi from Xiangyang Road in Jiangbei Province, Henan Province, named Mandu Latu, is a Mongolian of pure blood. People (in fact, Han people, mainly people from various ethnic groups in the original Southern Song Dynasty south of the Huaihe River), in his Daluhuachi Mansion, except for the servants who serve people, even the grooms who feed the horses are all Mongols.

Mandu Latu has been in a bad mood these days. His wife is about to give birth, but he sent someone to find Mrs. Liu, who is a good midwife, but they couldn't find him. His subordinates only took Mrs. Liu's son. He and his daughter-in-law caught him back. Seeing that the childbirth was imminent, but there was no good midwife, he was very annoyed.

Originally, according to the Mongolian custom, the older women in the family would deliver the baby, but his parents had long since passed away, and there were no other elders in the family, and it was too late to invite a female shaman who was thousands of miles away, so he had to find a local to deliver the baby.It was also his own fault. Originally, there was a stable woman in Xiangyang City, but unfortunately she was killed by him. As for the reason for the killing, he forgot.The few remaining Wen women were also afraid of the Mongols, and the whole family moved away early.

Seeing that his wife was going to give birth tonight, he couldn't find a stable woman who could deliver the baby in the whole city. In desperation, he had to call Mrs. Liu's daughter-in-law over to deliver the baby to his wife.

While the three of Song Yuanqiao were peeking down from the roof, Mandu Latu was speaking to Liu Genmin's daughter-in-law, Li Lancui, in Mongolian, and beside him was a Han man dressed as a scholar who was translating.

"Your mother-in-law is the best stable mother-in-law. You have been exposed to it all day long, and you must have learned a few things. Now this Mongolian daughter-in-law is about to give birth, but she can't find a stable mother-in-law. He wants you to deliver the baby." The scholar conveyed to Man Dulatu's words, as for the original words, only he knows.

Li Lancui looked at the moaning Mongolian woman lying on the bed, without saying a word.

Mandu Latu was full of flesh and looked ferocious. When he saw that Li Lancui was silent, he yelled loudly.

The scholar hurriedly said: "You have to go anyway, otherwise he will kill us both!"

Li Lancui said painfully: "Then let him kill me!"

For some reason, this country woman is not even afraid of death in the face of the vicious Mongols!
The scholar hurriedly said, "What about your husband? Don't you care about your husband's life? Do you really want to see your husband die in front of you?"

Li Lancui glanced at the Mongolian woman lying on the bed and moaning. She was pale and lying on the bed weakly. The pain was that her voice was not as loud as before.

Li Lancui knew that if she didn't help this woman give birth to the child, both she and the child would die. She was both a woman, and she couldn't bear to see the tragedy of one dead body and two dead.

But she thought of another thing, which made her close her eyes in pain, and she vowed not to help the Mongols.

But her and her husband's lives are in the hands of others. She is a woman and wants to save her husband, so what can she do.

So she immediately said to the scholar: "I want hot water and towels, you all go out."

The scholar immediately relayed the story to Mandu Latu. As soon as Mandu Latu murmured, someone brought in the hot water and towels that had been prepared. He still knew these basic common sense, and ordered people to prepare them in advance.

But neither of them went out. The scholar did not go out because he was still needed as an interpreter, and Mandu Ratu did not go out because he was not going to go out. He wanted to watch the birth of his son, and then hugged him and shouted that he had Think of a good name.

After all, Li Lancui learned a little delivery technique from her mother-in-law. With her help, the Mongolian wife let out a louder cry of pain, and Li Lancui kept yelling to make her exert herself.

At this moment, apart from everyone in the house, there are three uninvited guests watching all this from the roof.

The three of them looked at each other, what is this?
The majestic Wudang Three Heroes spy on a Mongolian woman giving birth.

The reputation of Wudang should not be destroyed once it is spread.

"If anyone spreads the news of today's matter, don't blame me, Yu San, for being unreasonable!"
