The beaten village man had a bitter face, and begged for mercy while protecting his head: "My brother who is not angry has escaped, and I can't help it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I still have my mother at home to support, and please raise your noble hands and spare me! ”

"Whew!" The reckless man led by the leader spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the village man, and scolded bitterly: "Oh, you are a bird's fart!" As far as you have an old mother at home, how can my brother's account be calculated!? I will find him to settle accounts, if you don't come up with fifty yuan, Lao Tzu will look for your bad luck every day! ”

After that, the reckless man raised his fist and wanted to hit again, but before the fist fell, he was dragged by Xiao Tangsheng. Xiao Tang shook off the reckless man and asked the village man, "Are you Li Da?" ”

Li Da's face was bloody, and he raised his head and wondered, "Who is this big brother?" How do I know the villain's name? ”

In the boundary of Baizhang Village, Yishui County, listening to the reckless man scolding "Iron Bull", "Black Guy", and "Killing People", Xiao Tang was already sure that this honest and wooden village man was Li Kui's eldest brother, but Li Da had a completely different temperament from Li Kui.

The reckless man looked Xiao Tang up and down, and scolded angrily: "Where did you come from?" I'm going to settle accounts with the Li family, and I'm doing your bird business again!? ”

Xiao Tang looked at the reckless man with a rogue face, and thought that his brother who was killed by Li Kui was not a good person. He said to the reckless man: "There is a debtor who is wronged, and your brother was killed by that Li Kui, you are looking for him." Since the county government has issued a document to arrest Li Kui, he has also punished his brother. But you came to extort money, didn't you also violate the king's law? ”

Although the reckless man saw that there were many people in Xiao Tang and his party, and each of them seemed to be practicing his family, he was already a little afraid in his heart. But after that, he couldn't get off the stage, so he glared and scolded: "You birdmen from other towns, dare to take care of the affairs of our Baizhang Village?!" ”

Zheng Tianshou beside Xiao Tang was furious, and was about to teach the reckless man a lesson when he was pulled by Xiao Tang. Xiao Tang thought about the cause and effect in his heart, and ordered Xiao Yi to take out fifty taels of silver from the bag package, and said, "Even if you look for Li Da's bad luck again, your brother will not be able to survive." With you fifty taels of silver, don't trouble the Li family again! ”

The white silver made the reckless man look straight, and when he was about to reach out to pick it up, he heard Xiao Tang say coldly: "I can not only give you silver, but also teach you to endure hardships!" If you teach me again, you will find trouble with Li Da and his mother, and you will bear the consequences! ”

The reckless man swallowed his saliva, he saw that Xiao Tang and his party were richly dressed, but it was not something that he could afford to provoke. Although he didn't know why Xiao Tang had no reason to relieve Li Da, he also knew that even if he blackmailed Li Da again, he wouldn't be able to earn fifty taels of silver.

Thinking of this, the reckless man snatched the silver and walked away with his men scolding. Zheng Tianshou said angrily: "Young master, since those birdmen are begging for a beating, why do you give them silver!?" ”

Xiao Tang said to Zheng Tianshou: "Even if you beat those village men to get angry, but as soon as we leave, won't those men and women find Brother Li to retaliate more ruthlessly?" ”

Zheng Tianshou couldn't help but wonder: "Young master, what is the way for this younger brother of the village to come from, and it is worth your help to him like this?" ”

Xiao Tang smiled bitterly and shook his head, even if Li Kui had escaped to Jiangzhou and was pardoned for the crime of murder, he was just a small prison under Dai Zong, the Shenxing Taibao of the prison house, what kind of reputation could he have in the rivers and lakes now?

This time, he rescued Li Kui's brother Li Da, and wanted to sell the black whirlwind for a favor, but it was secondary, Xiao Tang thought of Li Kui's mother in the Water Margin. That old man was too pitiful, and he worked hard to pull Li Da and Li Kui brothers to grow up, but Li Kui killed people and caused a big disaster, and Li Kui's mother was sick and blind, and Li Da lived a miserable life.

When Li Kui went to Liangshan and fell to the grass, he finally remembered to take his wife up the mountain to enjoy the blessings, but the poor old woman died tragically in the middle of the wilderness in the middle of the four tigers, and Xiao Tang couldn't help but feel unbearable every time he thought of this festival.

Xiao Tang didn't answer Zheng Tianshou either, he stretched out his hand to help Li Da up, Li Da stood up tremblingly, his face was full of gratitude and doubt, he saluted Xiao Tang and asked: "Thank you for this benefactor's rescue, and you spent so much money to relieve the villain." It's just that...... The little one and the benefactor have a plain life, why does the benefactor help the villain so much? ”

Xiao Tang replied: "I heard that there is a man in Baizhang Village, Yishui County, called 'Black Whirlwind' Li Kui, and his nickname is also called Tie Niu. I wanted to get acquainted with him through the precious land, but I didn't want him to commit a life lawsuit and escape. Seeing that Tie Niu's brother, Brother Li, you are being humiliated here, how can I not help? ”

As soon as Li Da heard Xiao Tang mention Li Kui, the gratitude on his face immediately turned into resentment, and he snorted heavily: "What kind of man is that unsuccessful!?" If it weren't for the black guy who killed someone, how could I have put on shackles and shackles and suffered so much on his behalf!? ”

Xiao Tang comforted: "The matter has come to this, and it will be useless for Brother Li to complain about Tie Niu." I heard Brother Li just say that there is an old mother at home to support, I want to visit Lingtang, and I also ask Brother Li to introduce him. ”

Li Da looked at Xiao Tang and couldn't help but be a little suspicious, his unsuccessful younger brother had been fighting in the village before committing the murder, and at most he was just a demon king in Baizhang Village, how could he have any name in the rivers and lakes?

Ah, yes! If you don't know each other, how can you spend a lot of money to relieve me, and how can you want to visit my mother? Hum! It must be that Tie Niu didn't dare to come back because of the government's arrest, so he asked this person to come to see how his mother was doing. What is not a vessel is handed over to such a rich man!

Li Da wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't say anything. He saw that Xiao Tang was generous, and he was very kind to himself, these days the old lady suffered from eye disease, and she just missed the iron bull all day long, and it was also beneficial and harmless to have a friend of the iron bull to visit her.

Thinking of this, Li Da sang to Xiao Tang and said, "The benefactor has a heart, since the benefactor wants to visit his mother, please come with me." ”

Seeing that Xiao Tang helped the village man named Li Da, he hurried to see the mother of the black whirlwind. Hua Rong, Xiao Yi and others were a little puzzled in their hearts. This village man was beaten by someone, and if he was saved, he was saved, but looking at Xiao Tang's actions, it seems that he knew Li Kui for a long time.

Xiao Yi asked Xue Yong, "Master Xue Yong, you have been wandering the rivers and lakes for a long time, have you ever heard of the black whirlwind Li Kui?" ”

Xue Yong thought about it carefully and said, "I have never heard of this person, and I don't know where the young master heard it. ”

Hua Rong raised his eyebrows and said, "No matter what, Brother Xiao Tang is also doing good deeds, let's follow him." ”......

Under Li Da's guidance, Xiao Tang came all the way to the house of Li Da and Li Mu's mother located in the east of Dongdian in Baizhang Village. It was a dilapidated and dirty thatched house, when Xiao Tang and Li Da pushed the door in, they saw an old woman sitting on the kang with a string of old Buddhist beads chattering, the dilapidated thatched hut was empty, except for a wooden table and two chairs, the four walls of the house were not enough to describe its dilapidated and dilapidated and expanded.

"Mother! A distinguished guest has come to visit you! Li Da entered the house and hurriedly shouted to Li's mother.

Mother Li slowly opened her eyes, squinted at Li Da and Xiao Tang, and said, "You're back, what kind of guests can we have?" ”

Xiao Tang saw that Mother Li's eyes were not blind due to eye disease now, but if she looked closely, her eyes, which should have been black and white, were faintly yellowish-brown. He saluted respectfully to Mother Li and said, "Old man, the younger generation's surname is Xiao Mingtang, and I asked Ling Lang Tieniu to be a reckless and upright man, and I wanted to get acquainted with him. It's a pity that I didn't have the fate to see Ling Lang, so the younger generation came to say hello to your old man. ”

Mother Li and Li Da are both responsible people in Baizhang Village, and they have never heard of Xiao Tang's name. When Mother Li heard Xiao Tang mention Li Kui's nickname, her expression was full of sadness, she opened her eyelids with difficulty, squinted at Xiao Tang and sighed: "My poor son... I want to scare me... I don't know how he's doing outside..."

Li Da said angrily after hearing this: "Mother! What have you done for that black guy!? If it weren't for the fact that the black guy was used to being arrogant, how could he have killed someone and left us two to suffer! ”

Xiao Tang comforted Li Da a few words, and then said: "Brother Li, Ling Tang is suffering from eye disease. Why didn't you take her to see Lang for treatment? ”

"It's... Alas! Li Da couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard this, how could he not know that his mother's eye disease was getting worse and worse? But not long after he ate the lawsuit for Li Kui, the two of them had a problem with their stomachs, and where did they get the spare money to treat the old lady's eyes?

Mother Li hurriedly said: "I can't complain about my eldest man... It's because I think Tie Niu thinks about it tightly, and I cries dry my tears, and this eye is getting worse day by day. ”

Xiao Tang saw that Li's mother's eyes were still cured, and immediately said to Li Da: "Brother Li, this eye disease can't be delayed any longer!" I'll take Lingtang to Yishui County to find an eye doctor. Don't worry about Brother Li for the consultation fee, I will pay it in advance! ”

Without waiting for Li Da to resign, Xiao Tang said again: "I also know that Brother Li is in decline for a while, but Lingtang's eye disease can't be delayed." Brother Li is a filial person, and he doesn't want Ling Tang to be blind and blind, right? ”

When Li Da heard Xiao Tang say this, he recognized in his heart that Xiao Tang was a friend he made when Li Kui was dying, and his mother's eye disease really couldn't be delayed, so he agreed.

"Old woman, slow down, I'll hold you..." Mother Li excused herself and thanked her, and Hua Rong, the little sister of Hua, carefully helped her into the van she was riding. Xiao Tang beckoned his men to get off the carriage and drove straight to Yishui County.

When Xiao Tang and others took Li Da and Li's mother to Yishui County to find a Langzhong, they quickly diagnosed and treated Li's mother's eye disease: Li Kui's mother's eye disease was caused by spleen and kidney yang deficiency, which is now macular eye. With age, the aging retinal tissue degenerates and thins, causing macular function to decline, which can lead to blindness if left untreated.

However, as long as there is no delay, this eye disease can be cured with Chinese medicine. Lang Zhong prescribed a recipe for dietary therapy, using pork liver and wolfberry to boil and eat lightly. Eating liver and drinking soup can nourish the liver and kidneys, benefit sperm and blood, and then use a few pairs of traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate, and it can be cured quickly.

"Thank you, benefactor... Please be bowed to the old body. Mother Li saw that Xiao Tang treated her so kindly, and paid Lang Zhong to cure her eye disease, this simple and kind old woman had nothing to do, so she could only express her gratitude to Xiao Tang in this way.

"Never! It's time to kill the juniors! "How can Xiao Tang let an old man bow down to him? He hurriedly supported Li's mother, but Li Da also knelt down again. Xiao Tang supported this and persuaded that, so he didn't get busy.

"Brother Li, I have instructed someone to buy the ingredients and medicinal materials for Lingtang's nourishing body. You can keep this hundred taels of silver, and let the old man enjoy some blessings in the future. After some courtesy, Xiao Tang asked Xiao Yi to bring a package containing one hundred taels of silver and send it to Li Da.

How do you know that Li Da pushed his hands and said resolutely: "Engong, you have given us a great kindness, how can I accept your money again?" If I find a good livelihood, I will support my mother. The villain only has to worry about Engong one thing, if Engong meets my brother who is not a weapon, please advise that guy to restrain his temper and not make trouble again. If the official family is merciful and amnesty the world, they will let Tie Niu come back to visit his mother earlier, so the villain will be grateful. ”

No matter how Xiao Tang persuaded him, Li Da just didn't accept cash. It seems that this honest and wooden person has a bit of backbone, in fact, a little bit of Li Da's temperament can be seen from the Water Margin:

Li Da ate a lawsuit because Li Kui killed someone, but his younger brother who became a good man was implicated more than that, and later Li Kui made a big fuss in Jiangzhou to save Song Jiang, until after falling into Caoliang Mountain, the government found his hometown and pursued him, and he also wanted to arrest Li Da for interrogation.

But Li Da, who was a long-term worker at that time, was appreciated by a rich man in the village, who handled the lawsuit for Li Da and made money for Li Da, so that Li Da was not imprisoned again. It is said that Li Da and Li's mother are just poor farmers, and Li Da was implicated by Li Kui and had a lawsuit. If it weren't for this Li Da's honest and steady temperament, how could he be respected by that big rich man?

Xiao Tang had no choice but to give up, and at this time, Mother Li walked tremblingly and thanked Xiao Tang again. Xiao Tang suddenly thought of something, so he said: "Since the old man is sincere to the Buddha, although the iron ox is in exile, the old man will chant and pray for him, and he will also be blessed by the Bodhisattva." ”

Mother Li couldn't help but be surprised: "The benefactor also believes in Buddhism? ”

Xiao Tang lowered his voice and smiled: "Yes, in fact, I don't hide it from the old man." One day, there was a Bodhisattva dream, saying that I had a good relationship with your old man and Tie Niu, so I would go to visit you when I passed through Baizhang Village, Yishui County. ”

Mother Li already believes in Buddhism, and she has a simple temperament and is very easy to trust others. Otherwise, like Li Kui, when he went back to Baizhang Village to pick her up and went to Liangshan, he lied and said that he, a Jiangyang thief, had become a big official and came to pick her up to enjoy the blessings, and even this Li Mu believed it. At that moment, Mother Li did not doubt him, she was overjoyed and said: "I said that how did the benefactor read my iron bull, it turned out to be a bodhisattva manifestation!" ”

Xiao Tang said again: "I also heard the Bodhisattva in my dream say that the Iron Bull will definitely come back and take your old man to enjoy happiness, but at that time, I will only take the official road, and do not take the secluded path in the deep mountains, otherwise there will be a disaster of blood and light." ”
