Gong Xue has bandits

Chapter 13 Going up the mountain to become a bandit, reborn

"The disciples of Zhuxiu Academy sent their sponsors, maybe they were all the same. The money bag was also full of gold leaves, no more, no less, exactly fifteen pieces, converted into one piece a year, so it was easy to buy out Luo 15 years of life?"

In the room, the voice of the narrator was as flat as it seemed, but the people who heard it were already hot in their eyes, and their shoulders were trembling slightly. He turned his head to look at her, and smiled with great interest:
"Guess, under which willow tree did Luo Heng bury the corpse and the golden leaf?"

Wen Renjun paused, his eyes were red, he didn't know what to say, Dongyi Mountain Lord had already narrowed his eyes, and sighed quietly: "It's the seventh tree, under the seventh willow tree with a crooked neck, because the willow tree he raised The little monkey is just seven years old."

The little guy who has been with Luo Heng for seven years has always been called "Little Heng" by Luo Heng. When he bit by bit the soil and buried its bones under the tree with his own hands, Luo Heng felt that he died along with him.

He didn't carry that ridiculous book basket anymore, he just left Shengdu without looking back, and he didn't go back to his hometown, because there might be someone waiting for him there, he just went to The most remote place in Daliang, Qingzhou.

There, no one knew him, and no one knew his past. He set up a chess stand on the side of the street every day, with five pennies a game, double the winning and losing, barely making ends meet, and went to the restaurant to buy some wine when the stall was closed. He drank and staggered all the way, his long disheveled hair covered most of his face, only a thin and pale chin was exposed.

Xiao Heng is dead, and Luo Heng is also dead. Those lofty aspirations in the past seem to be buried under the willow tree. His heart can no longer make the slightest waves, and he lives like a walking corpse every day. Until the end of that autumn, he ushered in Celebrated my 16th birthday.

For some reason that day, Luo Heng's numb heart was more ups and downs than usual. He suddenly wanted to close the stall early, go back and make a bowl of longevity noodles for himself, warm his stomach injured by alcohol, and make himself more "human".

But God, who was unwilling to be lonely, might want to watch a play again. Just when he was about to close the booth an hour earlier than usual, a burly figure sat down in front of his chess booth, and uttered three words:

"Let's have a game."

Through his long unkempt hair, he could see clearly that he was a heroic and brutish man with a big beard. Normally, he would have played this game in accordance with the principle of "one thing more is worse than one thing less". But today, Today he didn't want to bow his head to anyone so easily, so after staring at that brazen man for a long time, he finally said in a hoarse voice:
"Sorry, the stall is closed today, please be early tomorrow."

The man didn't move at all, but took out a piece of gold leaf from his pocket and threw it on the chessboard. There were still three hard words: "Let's play a game."

If he didn't take out this golden leaf, Luo Heng might have had a hasty fight with him, but it was this golden leaf that stung Luo Heng's eyes and completely aroused those unbearable past events.

He almost threw the golden leaf back hard, got up and quickly packed up the chessboard, his tone was as cold as ice: "If you say that you close the game, you will close it, and you won't be able to play another game. You can come back tomorrow. You don't need to pay more, I just take it." Five words."

The man stretched out his hand to block it, with majestic tiger eyes, took out several gold leaves from his arms, and threw them on Luo Heng's chess stand, and said three words in a rough voice: "Let's play a game."

Luo Heng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't restrain himself any longer, he swept the gold leaves fiercely: "If you can't finish it, you won't do it. I have something urgent to go back, so you will die if you don't do this game!"

The word "death" seemed to hit a certain string in the man's heart. He stood up and pointed at Luo Heng: "Say it again."

Luo Heng frowned: "No, please let me go, I'm going to close the stall and go back."

The man suddenly became furious: "It's still early in the sky, and it's obviously not the time to close the stall. Why don't you look down on me, or rush back to reincarnate? Why don't you play this game with me?"

Luo Heng also lost his temper: "You don't care what I do when I go back. I just want to close the stall early today, but I don't want to play this round. How about it? Do you want to take care of it? Are you an unreasonable bandit?"

The word "death" before had hit the nail on the head, and this "bandit" hit the nail on the head. The man's eyes suddenly changed, and he grabbed the golden leaf and threw it on Luo Heng's face: "Bastard, I'll ask you the last question." Once again, can you get down?"

The commotion was a bit loud, attracting many people around to come forward. This scene vaguely returned to the gate of the Yan Mansion that day. The nightmare-like experience made Luo Heng feel his face burning hot, his chest full of blood, and suddenly He raised his hand and overturned the chessboard: "No, no, just don't! You broke my hands and I don't want to play this game with you!"

The black and white chess pieces fell to the ground with a clatter of dust, and under the setting sun, everyone around the audience was shocked.

"Are you fucking sick?" The big man was completely enraged, stepping on the chess pieces and grabbing Luo Heng's collar, his eyes shot murderously: "I will fulfill you, break your arms, believe it or not! "

"Come on, come on, kill me, I'm meaningless to live anyway!" Luo Heng hissed back, but the big man was stunned, his eyes changed a few times, and he grabbed Luo Heng Weighing his arm, he heard a click, his bones shifted slightly, and the pain made his forehead suddenly drip with cold sweat.

The big man said in a deep voice in the setting sun: "I won't kill you, I can't get blood on my hands today, but you tell me, what are you going to do when you close the stall in advance, and I will let you go if you tell me!"

Heartbreaking pain came from his arm, Luo Heng's eyelashes were wet with cold sweat, his eyes ruthlessly grabbed the big man through his messy hair, gritted his teeth and sneered: "I don't need you to let me go, you kill me, I've already I don't want to live anymore!"

The big man paused, and his subordinates stepped up their efforts: "You want to die at such a young age. Do you know how many people can't survive if they want to live? I hate you the most in my life. It's a pity that I can't get blood today, otherwise I have to let you die." You taste my strength!"

As he spoke, he twisted that arm with all his strength, and then pushed the person hard. Luo Heng gasped, staggered and fell to the ground, in a state of embarrassment.

"Bitch!"

The big man spat, and the tiger's eyes were full of disgust and contempt.

Luo Heng broke an arm, biting blood on his lips in pain, his messy hair and long eyelashes were drenched with sweat, he looked up and finally revealed a complete face, pale and handsome, under the cover of the setting sun, tears Sliding down from the corners of his eyes, his whole body exuded an aura of loneliness, like a wounded little animal in the mountains and forests, exuding indescribable ruthlessness:

"Yes, yes, I'm a coward, I'm cowardly, I'm useless, I live like a ghost, I'm trampled on like an ant, I can't even close the stall in advance, I can't cook a bowl of longevity noodles for myself! I will be punished wherever I go People flicked gold leaves, threatening and coercing! In the past, those lofty ambitions were like jokes. They read poetry and books and were crushed by others. They didn't even have a way to seek justice for themselves. Instead, they were driven out of the city and hid here like a dog. Coming from the frontier, living my life in a muddle, I'm the biggest coward in the world, I don't need you to do anything, I'll go back to the ground after eating noodles and go to the ground to accompany my old friend, this birthday will be celebrated as a memorial day!"

These words and sentences resounded through the sky, filled with soaring hostility and deep-seated despair, tears flowed down the pale and handsome face, and the blood stains bitten from the corners of the lips were reflected in the setting sun, which was eye-catching, but the thin body straightened its back, with its head held high and scorching Looking at each other without flinching, there was a bit of chill and shock in the wild wind for a while.

The big man opened his mouth, and after a while he said in surprise, "Today... is your birthday? You closed the stall early and just wanted to cook a bowl of longevity noodles for yourself? Are you... not from Qingzhou?"

In the room, the moonlight is lingering, the sandalwood is wafting, the wind blows the curtains, the white robe is better than the snow, and the voice is extremely clear.

"His name is Nie Zhangqing. He used to be a leader of the rebel army, but he was framed by his superiors. He was imprisoned and had nowhere to go. He had to hide in Qingzhou with his brothers and took over the mountain as a bandit. He was called Boss Nie."

"That day, he came down the mountain to relax, and he was extremely depressed, because he had just finished worshiping a person on the mountain. That person was his own younger brother, a young son who was raised by Jiangmen Jiao in the past. He was full of knowledge and skills. Chess, life is full of flowers, but because of this accident, his family was ruined, he fell from the clouds to the soil, and watched his revered brother become a bandit and trapped on the mountain. During the severe stimulation, his body deteriorated and he vomited blood every day. On his birthday, he forced himself to push the door and went out. After picking a maple leaf and putting it in a book, he hugged him in his arms and left in the courtyard with his eyes closed, dying. Beside my beloved chessboard."

"Boss Nie's heart aches every year on this day, and it's hard to hold back. This year is no exception. It's a coincidence that Luo Heng and his younger brother have the same age and birthday. If his younger brother didn't regret his death, it should be Luo Heng is at this age."

"After Boss Nie paid homage to his younger brother, he came to Luo Heng's chess booth. He sat down and wanted to play a game with him to relieve his inner pain. The words 'death' and 'bandits' were mentioned, which really hit the scars in his heart, considering that his younger brother didn't see any blood on the day of sacrifice, it was kind of him to only break one arm."

"Then Luo Heng was unlucky to say the least. He encountered a disaster for no reason. But at the same time, he was also lucky, because from this day on, his fate was completely changed."

Dongyi Shanjun said this, turned his head to look at Wen Renjun who was breathing slightly, his eyes fixed, and he said word by word: "Boss Nie took him up the mountain, took him as his righteous brother, and began to teach him martial arts, take him Manage the bandit village up and down, and let him have a new life."

Luo Heng was in extreme pain when he first went to the mountain to practice martial arts, because he was already sixteen years old, and it was too late to start practicing martial arts at this time. It is necessary to start the Zhama step, practice the lower body, and open the meridians.

He didn't have the slightest basic foundation, so he came to climb the mountain halfway, and it was miserable.

Boss Nie treats him like his own brother. On the one hand, he loves and takes care of him, on the other hand, he is strict with him, especially when it comes to practicing martial arts, he can almost be called "King of Yama".

In order to "reshape" his skeletal body and open up his extraordinary meridians, he has to prick a round of needles in his body every day, and has him soak in special herbal medicine boiling water, so that the medicine can seep into his limbs and bones. Get the most out of it.

The process in the middle is like being tortured. Whenever Luo Heng blushed, couldn't hold on, and wanted to hold on to the barrel in great pain, Boss Nie would ruthlessly press him back by the side:
"Think about the wrongs and insults you have suffered, think about the bones of your partners that you buried with your own hands, no one in this world can help you, justice can only be recovered by yourself, and the weak can only be beaten! What you have to do is to keep getting stronger , strong enough to never be trampled into the dirt again, strong enough to protect those things that I want to cherish one day!"

Under the high-pressure martial arts practice day after day, by the autumn of the fourth year, on Luo Heng's 20th birthday, he had been completely reborn and completely reborn as a human being.

The frail scholar from before was gone, and replaced by the second head of the bandit village with a straight back, blazing eyes, broad shoulders and long legs, really like a man, with extraordinary heroism, standing proudly on the hilltop, overlooking the common people.

At this time, Boss Nie put two letters in front of him, and there were two addresses written in the letters, one was the place where the resigned Qiu Yuanshou lived, and the other was the place where Yan Qilang was an official.

Boss Nie said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, second brother, you can't find that Ahu girl as a brother, and you don't even know her real identity. She seems to have evaporated from the world. Maybe it's really just me. Where's the fox demon?"

With a wry smile on Luo Heng's lips, he opened the two letters and stared at them for a long time without saying a word.

Boss Nie added on the sidelines that after Head Qiu resigned, he set up a small private school near his house to recruit those poor children who had no money to go to school. To make atonement for the children of poor families;
Besides, that Yan Qilang is also amazing. After that incident, he did not stay in the imperial city as an official and accept the bright future arranged by his father. Instead, he invited him out of Beijing and went to the Zhijiang area to become a parent official who built embankments. .

These years, he seldom returned to Shengdu, but in Zhijiang area, he had a great reputation and won the support of many people, and many girls wrote poems and ballads for him, which were sung in the streets and alleys.

"If you return hand in hand with Yan Lang, and the green mountains and green waters step on the slanting light, you don't need to rush in this life..."

Luo Heng murmured the words of admiration several times, and suddenly smiled. Boss Nie shook his head and sighed: "Second brother, if there were no cheating in the past, the 'Yan Lang' in these girls' mouths, I'm afraid it will be Now that you have become a 'Luo Lang', don't feel bad, I will support you no matter what you want to get back."

Boss Nie has been a bandit for many years, and he has long regarded laws as nothing but the heroic spirit of a green forest hero. He waved his hand and said, "Tell me, if you want to deal with that old guy first, you should first meet this green mountain and green water Yan Lang. How many brothers do you want to bring, what kind of means do you want to use, just open your mouth, and it will be a coronation gift from your elder brother!"

Luo Heng was moved in his heart, looked at Brother Nie for a long time, but said: "Thank you, Brother, it's just..."

After rubbing the two letters again, he tore off the letter paper slowly in front of Boss Nie.

"Those who abandon me must not stay yesterday, and those who disturb my mind have many worries today, please forgive me, my second brother doesn't want such worries."

Under Boss Nie's astonished gaze, he raised his lips and smiled, he was no longer the irritable and impulsive scholar boy who was pressed to the ground.

"It's very easy for them to die, but I don't want to die with them again. It would be terrible if people are forever indulging in the past. I have more important things to do now. I want to help my brother unify the big and small bandits in Qingzhou Let the eldest brother regain his old style of general, and order the brothers under his command to fight against the Di people who grew up in the wolf pile, and keep the people in this side safe, which is not an insult to the Nie clan."

That Boss Nie never expected that Luo Heng would say such a thing, let alone that he would hit his heart's wish directly, endless warmth flowed in his chest, and the seven-foot man was stunned for a long time before he blushed. With eye circles, he patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder:
"Okay, as expected of my younger brother Nie Changqing, my elder brother saw you right! You have a big heart and great realm, you can afford it and put it down, and you have a long-term vision. My elder brother is not as good as you!"

Boss Nie was very emotional, his voice choked with sobs, Luo Heng waited for him to calm down for a while, then went to the table, studied ink and picked up a pen, and smiled at Boss Nie: "In terms of crowning ceremony, I would like to give myself something, or Said, it is a name, and I hope that my elder brother will be a witness for me."

As he spoke, he wrote three words in a very solemn manner on the snow-white rice paper that was spread out——

Luo, Qiu, Chi.

Boss Nie muttered softly, startled and confused for a moment, but the handsome figure raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said loudly: "Those who abandon me are like running water, let Luo Heng stay in the past, let Luo Qiuchi live in the present, what do you say, brother?" Sample?"

Autumn, because he was taken up the mountain by Nie Zhangqing in the autumn of four years ago, and his fate changed from then on, his life changed, and now, four years later, this autumn, he was completely reborn and regained his new life;
Chi, but because of the young son of the Nie family named "A Chi", who died next to his beloved chessboard with the scroll in his arms. This was the pain in Nie Changqing's heart all his life. Wordless comfort, so that the regretful life can also be reborn and continued in this autumn.

Apparently, after reading it a few times, Boss Nie realized this friendship, his hands trembled slightly, and mist rose in his eyes, and after a long time, he hugged Luo Qiuchi, tears streaming down his clothes: "Good brother, good brother! "

Luo Qiuchi was heartbroken, and hugged the seven-foot man: "Brother, I was born in the same year and the same month as Ah Chi, and I was destined to be your brother. From now on, you can also call me 'Achi' , we are blood brothers, and I will definitely help you rule all the villages in Qingzhou, hang the flag as commander again, and show Nie's glory again!"

On the day of his crowning at the age of 20, Luo Qiuchi was born in the world awe-inspiringly. This is not only his new name, but also the beginning of his new life.

For the next two years, he tried his best to stay by Boss Nie's side, serving as a vanguard and as a military adviser, advising and helping him take down nine bandit villages in one go, but it's a pity that Boss Nie failed to manage the remaining half. see.

He was ambushed by the Allied Forces of the Three Villages and died on the blood-stained red maple hill. By the time Luo Qiuchi rushed there, he had already passed away, leaving only a sentence in blood:
"It's not my brother's promise, but the heavens fail to fulfill his wish. If there is an afterlife, we will continue the brotherhood."

Luo Qiuchi hugged Boss Nie's body on the top of the mountain, raised his head to the sky and screamed, hissing and crying.

Since that day, Dongyi Mountain has lost a Boss Nie, but has gained a bearded and majestic Dongyi Mountain Monarch.

He is more ruthless and powerful than Boss Nie, and he is still decisive. In just one year, he subdued the remaining nine bandit villages, truly unified all the hills in Qingzhou, and became the leader who occupied one side. Great hero.

And the agreement with Boss Nie, he has been advancing, rectifying the bandits, enacting strict orders, beheading corrupt officials, expelling aliens, protecting the people... He has grown rapidly, and has never forgotten his mission and belief for a day , Forgot the raging flame in the chest.

It's just because there are three pairs of eyes looking at him behind him, one is the real Ah Chi, the other is Boss Nie who has high hopes, and the other is... the former Luo Heng.

He can't stop, can't slack off, can't rest, he can only keep moving forward, with high spirits.

Because, he knows, the wind will not stop, the fire will not go out, the blood will not be cold, the world is so big, at least there is Luo Qiuchi by his side.
