Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

Chapter 21 Playing New Words and Losing Treasures in a Hurry
The thirteenth sister took it in her hand and said to Zhang Jinfeng: "Sister, we didn't throw ourselves into his house empty. The hundred gold is my sister's cushion for you." Then handed the bag to Mrs. Zhang in hand.The wife said: "Girl, what are you doing? Come on, you love your sister so much, give him this thing back!" She said, but she took it in her hand.Mr. Zhang looked at it and thanked him very much.The thirteenth sister made it clear, and urged Mr. an to accept the money.Mr. An refused again and again, and said: "Sister, don't you keep some envoys?" Thirteenth sister said: "The bag of broken ones you left just now is enough for me and my mother to spend the winter. Even if it is not enough, there are some left and right That item of 'unowned money', when I will use it, when I will take it. Don't be burdensome, take it away quickly, so that everyone can get up." After hearing this, Mr. An had no choice but to accept it.

Thirteenth sister lost her mind for a while, and asked Mr. Zhang, "I just saw a shed cart in the stables. I think it was his wife and his wife. It must have been driven by your old man?" Old Zhang said: "It's not me, who else is there?" Thirteenth sister said: "This car is in good condition, even the animals are there. Your old man is going to pack him right now, and come back to take your uncle's quilt cover. He loaded the donkey, luggage, and silver on the cart, packed all the things, and leveled the bedding, so that his mother and his wife could sit comfortably. Then unhook the donkey and give it to your son-in-law to ride." Said Then he asked Mr. An, "Can you ride a donkey?" Mr. An said, "You can ride a horse, let alone a donkey. Didn't I ride a mule all the way here? I'm afraid I don't have a saddle." Mr. Zhang said: " Yes, I have a soft saddle with a horse mattress on my car." Thirteenth sister said: "That's a great coincidence, I also have livestock, so I asked your uncle to ride it and go with a group. After everything is settled Alright, let's all set off before dawn. I'll send you all the way through the county's east gate, and there will naturally be someone to escort you down there to ensure that all of you, old and young, are safe and sound all the way. This is my business. You guys The three of you will go and pack it up, and I will talk to my sister for a while." Everyone was delighted when they heard this.

Zhang Laodao: "Wait for me to go and see the livestock, take out the straw bag, feed him first, and come back to walk." Mr. An said: "I will go too, what am I doing here idle!"

Said, went together.At this time, the mother and daughter of the Zhang family packed up their luggage, gold and silver one by one.Mr. Zhang fed the animals, Mr. Tong An came in, and called his wife to help. The three carried them several times before they had to be transported and packed.I saw Mr. Zhang came back in a hurry, and said to the thirteenth sister: "Girl, I remembered something again. After we leave, if someone comes in at dawn, how about the dead monk in this yard?" ?” Thirteenth Sister laughed and said, “It’s all up to me, just walk with peace of mind, it has nothing to do with you or me anyway.”

Zhang Laodao: "It's good to be brave like this. I can call an ambulance. It's time for you girls to clean up. Get in the car."

But when the thirteenth sister saw that everything was over, she asked Mr. an to go to the house to find a pen and inkstone for use.Mr. An said: "What's the use of a pen and inkstone at this time? I have it ready-made here." Then, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it, and saw a round inkstone wrapped in it, in a sandalwood box Pretend.The stone is delicate and pure, and the inkstone box is densely engraved with inscriptions and postscripts, and it holds a precious inkstone.Mr. an took out the pen and ink in leye again, grinded the ink, and handed over the pen.

The thirteenth sister held the inkstone in her left hand, dipped the pen in her right hand, jumped on the table, and asked Mr. An to hold up the lamp to light it. He wrote two words on the north wall facing the door in the middle. line characters.Mr. An held the light to shine on it, followed the pen with his eyes to look down every word, and then read:

Greed, hatred, ignorance, and love are fourfold barriers, and this man commits all of them.He kills and pollutes the Buddha's land, I save the suffering and go down to the clouds, eradicate evil and rape.When looking for me, I will meet you in the cloud.

After reading, he laughed happily, smacking his lips, shaking his head, clapping his legs and clapping his hands, and said: "Sister, I only saw you wielding knives and sticks, killing people like hemp, and thought it was strange. I didn't know that there was such a treasure buried in your chest." Jinxiu. This calligraphy is also written in such a phoenix dance and dragon flying, it is really admirable! It’s just that everyone asked my sister where you live, and you only said that you live in the clouds. Now what is the meaning of the word "meet you in the cloud" ', could it be that you are really in the clouds?" Thirteenth sister laughed and said, "I'm talking in my sleep, you don't need to ask him."

Mr. An shook his head and said: "No, no, there must be a reason here." After finishing speaking, he was still pondering over the sentence "meet you in the cloud".The thirteenth sister got off the table early, put down the pen and inkstone, wrapped the treasured knife around her waist as before, took off the slingshot from the wall, put it on her shoulders, put on the bag of silver, and blew the lamp on. Mie said, "Don't delay, let's go!" Step out and go out first.The Zhang family's mother and daughter, Mr. He'an, had no choice but to hurry out when they saw her.

The thirteenth sister came out of the gate of the courtyard, first went to the side hall to pull the donkey on, and then ran straight to the stables.Seeing that the vehicle and livestock were in order, he immediately sent Zhang's mother and daughter into the vehicle.

Mr. an also pulled his livestock.Thirteenth Sister gave him her donkey, opened the door, and let everyone out.Miss Zhang asked in the car: "My sister is not leaving, what are you waiting for?" Thirteenth sister said: "I still have something to do, you guys wait outside."

As he spoke, he urged the vehicles and animals to go out, and closed the door again himself. Then he stretched himself on the spot, went up to the room, jumped down from the outside of the room, untied the burden on the donkey, and still put on the cloth. He wrapped his head in green gauze, put on the Buddha green shirt, put on the slingshot again, rode on the donkey, took advantage of the slanting moon and the remaining stars, escorted a group of people, and fled to the east in a carefree manner.

After walking for a while, I arrived at the fork in the road. That day, Dongfang Shining shined. From there, I took the avenue and went straight to the north gate of Chiping County, and went all the way from outside the city to the east gate. avenue. ] come.After leaving the East Pass, Thirteenth Sister saw that the crowds were gradually thinning out, so she said to Mr. An: "The man who escorted you, I will wait with him in the willow forest [-] miles away. I will take a step first and call him to go. You guys come later." As he spoke, he knocked the animal and flew away.

Mr. an and Mr. Zhang then came with the animals and left for about an hour. They had already looked at the willow forest from a distance.Everyone walked forward and saw Thirteenth Sister's black donkey tied to a tree.When everyone arrived, Mr. An got off the animals, and Zhang's mother and daughter also got out of the car and turned into the woods.Thirteenth Sister came out to greet her early.When Mr. An saw him, he first asked: "Where is the escort that my sister said? Please come and meet." The thirteenth sister said: "I have been waiting here for a long time. You don't have to be busy, everyone sit under this tree Come on, rest and talk." Because he said to the crowd, "Of course you all want to see what kind of a hero this escort is, and now let me tell you the truth. Ridge, Xiongjidu, and Wild Boar Forest are all places where gangsters come and go. Slowly speaking, if there is one escort, there will be three, five, ten, or eight escorts. It’s still useless. It’s all right, and I’m the only one who will send you off in person. But I have an old mother at home, so I can’t stay away. Now, for the sake of my sister, I will lend my slingshot to you, brother-in-law.” Said Here, Mr. An said: "Sister, it's just that I can shoot this slingshot? Besides, how can I pull this slingshot and move it?" Thirteenth Sister said: "You don't need to make it, you just carry him on your back .Although the journey along the way is not worth a thousand horses and thousands of troops, it can probably be regarded as a pioneer who opened the way and a strong bodyguard." Everyone was skeptical after hearing this, and looked at each other.

The thirteenth sister said: "Everyone will not believe what I said at first glance. Just think about it, how can I play with the lives of your two families? If you go one stop today, you will pass Mangniu Mountain tomorrow. The leader of the boss is all skilled in martial arts, and there are hundreds of minions under his command. This first place is not easy. You should leave early tomorrow in the moonlight in the second half of the night. When you reach Mangniu Mountain, these people will definitely go down the mountain to block the way. You don't have to talk to Mr. Zhang, you just close the car, which is considered a step for him. He knows that he is a walking expert at a glance, so he doesn't do anything. This is terrible I will use you, brother-in-law. You just have to be brave and don’t be afraid. The only robbers in the world are those who plan to rob money, and never kill without reason. At that time, whether he is riding an animal or walking, you get off the animal first, just go forward When talking to him, remember not to say that there is no money in the car. Their skills can generally estimate whether there is gold or silver in the guests passing by, and the amount of gold and silver. The five thousand gold is only for the old man to deal with the important affairs of the lawsuit, and it cannot be given away. The rest of the carry-on luggage is not worth much. Only this slingshot is worth a few taels of silver, so I will give it away. Wait for him to take the slingshot. Look, you don’t need to ask me, he will ask me first. At that time, not only did he not dare to accept this slingshot, but he was also afraid that he would have to prepare wine and food to help with expenses. I don’t know. But you don’t have to take him, and you don’t have to come Let him go up the mountain. Just tell me what I said, let them borrow two animals, add helpers, pull this car, and send two old people to take you all the way to Huai'an boundary. I will meet you in the future and thank you personally. At that time, there will be enough people, enough animals, you can walk quickly on the road, and your grandfather's business can be finished early. Not only that, but with these two escorts along the road, they are all in one spirit, Don’t be afraid that there will be 1 robbers, you can just walk away ostentatiously. ——This is the surefire way out that I have planned for you. Everyone just go with confidence and don’t hesitate.”

After speaking, he took off the slingshot from his shoulder and handed it to Mr. An with both hands.Then he said to Zhang Jinfeng: "Sister, brother-in-law, here in front of his two elders, you and I meet today, and I save each other today, it's a good thing I'm used to, you don't have to care about it. This slingshot is my family treasure. I have used it since I was a child, and it is inseparable. Now that my sister lent it to you, my brother-in-law, you must not damage it. Once you arrive in Huai'an, after finishing the old man's business The first one is my sister's lifelong event; the second one is my slingshot. Be sure to send a proper person to return it to me. This is your "repaying kindness with kindness". It's important! It's important! " Mr. An listened to one sentence and answered one sentence.

During this period, Miss Zhang was careful, and after hearing this, she asked Thirteenth Sister, "Sister, you just refused to give your real name and place of residence, and I will send you this slingshot in the future. Miss Sanmei, where can I find you to explain this thing?" Thirteenth sister listened, lowered her head and thought for a while, and said: "Yes, brother-in-law just now, didn't he say that Chu Yiguan and his grandpa's surname Hua are close relatives?" ?In the future, when your Hua Naigong arrives at the post, he will be handed over to Chu Yiguan and Deng Jiugong. This Deng Jiugong is the old hero who lived in the 28 red willow trees I mentioned. He is still my master. Chu Yiguan is his relative, and your grandpa Hua is also Chu Yiguan's relative. You can't go wrong with this explanation. This is all you and I said. Sending you a long way, you have to say goodbye, and I will also I won't send it down anymore. Take care of your future, the four couples, old and young, and we will bid farewell."

Everyone heard the word "farewell" passionately, and they were deeply grateful, and they didn't feel tears.

Zhang Jinfeng was so choked with tears that she couldn't speak, and said to the thirteenth sister with tears: "Sister, you and I are leaving, I don't know when we will meet again?" The thirteenth sister said: "If you talk about me, you may see me in this life. , I can’t be sure if I don’t see you. But everything has a definite number, and it’s up to man to do it!” Then he let go and said, “Please go ahead.”

Go to the tree, untie the donkey, and get on the donkey to go.Suddenly Mr. An said "Ai", slapped his legs with both hands, jumped up, and said, "It's amazing! This is not a good thing!" Everyone was startled.Even the thirteenth sister pulled the donkey and asked him, "Why is this?" Mr. An blushed with anxiety, and said, "Sister, don't leave, and don't ask carefully, we have to hurry back now. Go to the Nengren Temple in Heifenggang and talk about it again!"

The thirteenth sister said: "What's the matter? Didn't you drop the cigarette bag?" Mr. An waved his hands again and again: "No! No!" The old couple also helped him to ask him, and he pointedly said to everyone: "Just now Didn't the thirteen sisters inscribe the two lines of "Beixin Water Order" on the wall of the temple? I saw the majestic tone of the words, and the calligraphy fluttered, so I deliberated on the phrase "meeting in the cloud". In a word, I didn’t feel dazed. I was looking at it carefully, but my sister urged me to leave quickly. I was careless and followed everyone out. I didn’t want to leave that inkstone in that temple. What should I do?”

The thirteenth sister said: "I just don't know what the big deal is. It turns out that this inkstone is worth much? It's worth being surprised like this!" Mr. An said: "Sister, you don't know, my inkstone It is comparable to an unusual inkstone. This is a precious inkstone left by my grandfather. My grandfather gave it to my father when he was dying. My father has worked hard on this inkstone for half his life. When he got up, he gave me a precious reward and said, tell me to work hard. By the way, this inkstone , just like facing the old man, you must not violate the usual lessons, and you must return it to the old man when you take office in the future. Now that you are lost in this temple, what do you want me to bring back to the old man? Besides, the inscription on the inkstone is engraved with the name of the old man , you and I got this 'unfinished' in the temple again, what should I do if someone finds out and investigates it? Let's go back, let's go back quickly!" After hearing this, everyone said: "This thing must not be lost. .” They didn’t care about it.

Thirteenth Sister pondered for a while, and said: "It is true that this thing should not be lost, but there is absolutely no reason for us to go back now. You also leave this matter to me. I will go home this time, and I will have time. I also want to see and listen to the movement in the temple and the place. Now I will immediately detour to the temple first, go in from the back of the temple, take your inkstone, and bring it to my house, and put it away for you. It will not be lost. When you send me a slingshot in the future, use the slingshot as a proof and take this inkstone. I saw the slingshot here and returned the inkstone. At that time, the two things belonged to the owner, wouldn’t it be one pile? Is it a good thing?" Mr. An was still hesitating, but Zhang Jinfeng felt it on his heart when he heard this, and quickly said: "What my sister said is right, but this is a final decision and cannot be changed." , Urging Thirteenth Sister to leave quickly.The thirteenth sister took the donkey with one hand, recognized the stirrup and pulled the saddle, flew on it, added a whip, and turned around to say to everyone: "Please!"This is exactly:

The dragon broke through the wall and flew into the sky, but Yaojiao couldn't find it in the clouds.

If you want to know what happened next, I will explain it in the next book.
