Chapter Forty-Eight: Tears and Farewell
Li Yanqing ran to the entrance of the village in one breath, at this time the east sky turned up the belly of the fish, the sky was numb and bright, just arrived at the entrance of the village, but saw Aunt Hu supporting her daughter-in-law to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Aunt Zhang cried like a tearful person, her body was weak, and she squatted down and vomited after walking a few steps.

Li Yanqing was shocked, and hurriedly rushed forward and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”
"Qing'er, Xiao Qing'er is missing." Aunt Hu said anxiously.
"Ahh How so? ”
"We worship our ancestors in the house, she plays in the yard, and when we come out, the person is gone, and your Uncle Hu has gone to find it."
Li Yanqing immediately understood, it must have been the man who stole Qing'er yesterday, and he suddenly regretted it in his heart, he should have gone back to the village to tell Uncle Hu first, he was careless for a while, and something happened.
He was so anxious that he ran south, and Aunt Hu stopped him, "Qing'er, where are you going?" ”
"That person is from the south, Uncle Hu must have chased south, I'll help Uncle Hu find someone."
"Qing'er, wait a minute!"
Aunt Hu let go of her daughter-in-law and ran over, she used her body to block her daughter-in-law's gaze, took out a small dagger from her arms and handed it to Li Yanqing, "This is for your self-defense, be careful yourself, if you can't run, that person can't catch up with you." ”
"Don't worry, aunt! I'm not going to do anything stupid. ”
Li Yanqing took the dagger and put it in his arms, and ran away, at this time, Da Hei also ran out of the village and chased after the little master's back.
.......
Li Yanqing didn't go to Zhangji Town, he knew that the man took Xiao Qing'er to force Uncle Hu to agree to go with him, not to really take Xiao Qing'er away, so the man wouldn't go far, he must be nearby.
"Big Black, this way!"
Li Yanqing ran for several miles, left the official road and ran south along the path, and there was also a large forest in the south, which was connected with the woods behind his house, Li Yanqing thought that since the man came out of the woods yesterday, there was a chance that he was still hiding in the woods.
The sky was not yet bright, the woods were even darker, the ground was covered with fallen leaves, and there was a rustling sound when walking on it, Li Yanqing walked more than a hundred steps, he suddenly waved his hand, and let Da Hei stop, what did he seem to hear?
He listened intently for a moment, only to hear another faint roar in the southeast.
"Over there!"
Li Yanqing ran to the southeast with Da Hei's legs, about a mile or so, Li Yanqing suddenly stopped, hugged Da Hei, and shouted, he had already seen that there were two people standing dozens of steps away.
One should be Uncle Hu in his attire, facing him, and the other is facing away from him, with a backpack on his back, carrying a whistle stick in one hand, and then looking closely, the other hand is raised high, and it is Xiao Qing'er in his hand.
And below Xiao Qing'er, there was a big stone with sharp edges and corners, and Li Yanqing immediately understood that if Uncle Hu didn't agree, Xiao Qing'er would be used to it.
Li Yanqing's heart was full of anger, he pressed the big black head, and a man and a dog quietly approached behind the man in soap.
"Brother, I have good intentions, and I invite you to the south to enjoy the wealth regardless of my previous suspicions, but what do you do to me? How do you ask me to go back and explain to Sect Leader Fang? ”
"It's your business how you explain it, put my little lady down, and we will go our separate ways, otherwise if my little lady has three long and two short, you don't want to live!"
The man in soap didn't notice that someone was approaching him from behind, and he still said loudly: "People like us who are in a lot of blood debts, they earn one more day of life, Brother Hu, how majestic your father and son were in Weizhou back then, you commanded thousands of people at the age of sixteen, and Sect Master Fang later looked at you differently, but you didn't appreciate it, although you have been hiding for ten years, do you think you can really hide for a lifetime?" Come with me! Sooner or later, the government will find you. ”
These words did not make Hu Sheng have any reaction, his eyes were still firmly fixed on the man's left hand, and his daughter seemed to have fainted and remained motionless, which made him even more nervous.
But Li Yanqing finally knew Uncle Hu's life experience, it turned out to be the Hebei Baojia Uprising, in 1084 Danzhou, Weizhou tens of thousands of Baoding uprising, intermittently persisted for ten years, was completely suppressed sixteen years ago, it is estimated that Uncle Hu's father is one of the leaders, after the failure of the uprising, Uncle Hu fled to Jiangnan to hide for a few years, so he met Fang La, but he and Fang La did not speculate, so he came to Tangyin County, became his neighbor, and hid for ten years.
"Brother Hu, if you don't go back with me, Sect Master Fang won't spare me, I'll let it go, I'll count three times, if you don't agree, we'll die together!"
The man stared at Hu Sheng fiercely, raised the little Qing'er in his hand, and burst out the first word in his clenched teeth: 'One! ’
"What if I promise you? Am I going to go with you? Hu Sheng shouted angrily.
"Who doesn't know that King Hu promises a thousand gold, you will never regret what you promised, less nonsense, do you agree or not?"
"Two!" The man roared again.
At this moment, Li Yanqing made a move, and a cold light shot out of his hand, this is the personal dagger given to him by Mrs. Hu, which is no more than six inches long and weighs eight taels, exactly the same as the copper kettle arrow, Li Yanqing shot out from three zhang away, and the man was completely defenseless.
'Poof! The dagger pierced his wrist, and the severe pain made the man scream, Qing'er fell from his hand, and at the same time as the man screamed, Li Yanqing shouted, "Da Hei, bite him!" ”
He and Da Hei rushed up at the same time, Da Hei roared and pounced on the man, and threw the man to a stumble, Li Yanqing moved quickly, picked up Xiao Qing'er on the ground, and ran towards the depths of the woods.
When Hu Sheng saw that his daughter was saved, he was overjoyed, waved the iron whip in his hand, roared angrily, and pounced on the man.
Li Yanqing ran for a mile before stopping, and he saw that although Qing'er was in a coma, her breathing and heartbeat were normal, so he hid her in a big tree and ran back.
Seeing that Uncle Hu had staggered to stand up, the man was still lying on the ground, Li Yanqing saw that Uncle Hu's right shoulder was blurred with flesh and blood, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Uncle, you are injured!" ”
"I'm fine, how is Qing'er?"
"She's fine, she's just unconscious for the time being, and I hid her in a big tree."
Li Yanqing said, glanced at the man on the ground again, Hu Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "He is already dead, if he hadn't been stabbed in the wrist by you, I really wouldn't be his opponent." ”
"Since his martial arts are higher than his uncle, why does Fang La value his uncle more?"
"You know Fang La?" Hu Sheng looked at Li Yanqing in surprise.
"When I was attending a boy stalk club in the county, I heard people say that he seems to be the leader of some kind of religion."
"Manichaeism, also known as Mingjiao, is very popular in the Jiangnan area, but Fang La values me, not because of my martial arts, but because I have a high reputation in the Daimyo's Mansion."
"What are you going to do in the future?"
Hu Sheng shook his head, "Now I don't know, Qing'er, help Uncle bury this person's body first, don't let people find out." ”
The two worked together, dug a pit in the woods, buried the body deeply, and everything was cleaned up, and Hu Sheng took his daughter and Li Yanqing back to the village.
......
At noon, Hu Sheng found Li Yanqing, he sat at the table and said silently for a long time: "Qing'er, uncle has decided to leave here." ”
Li Yanqing didn't feel sudden, since Fang La knew Uncle Hu's whereabouts, and that Bian Laosan didn't go back, Fang La would definitely check it out, and he couldn't go if he didn't leave.
"Is the whole family leaving?"
Hu Sheng nodded, "My father is buried in the Daimyo's Mansion, my mother wants to accompany him, I plan to go back to the Daimyo's Mansion to hide, settle down there, and then I will go to Jiangnan again, and we may not come back in the future." ”
Li Yanqing went back to the house and took out thirty taels of silver, which was the money he used to write the book, and he also took out the seven pieces of money he earned by writing couplets for the store, 'Wow! It was placed on the table with a bang.
"Take these thirty taels of silver with Uncle Qiguan Qian!"
Hu Sheng was startled, and waved his hand again and again, "Qing'er, how can I ask for your money." ”
"I earned this money myself, and if my uncle can leave a few days later, I can get another thirty taels of silver."
"Nope! No! No! ”
Hu Sheng's head shook like a rattle, "That man has a lot of gold on him, which is enough for us to settle down, and besides, the uncle has also saved dozens of dollars in the past few years, so I really don't need it." ”
"Uncle, this money is for Xiao Qing'er, if you leave, they don't have any money on them, and they will be bullied."
Hu Sheng was moved in his heart and nodded silently, "Okay!" If you borrow it from your uncle, you will definitely pay it back in the future. ”
Hu Sheng smiled again: "I promised your father before that I would never teach you to learn martial arts, but he has no objection to strengthening your body, you have to insist on running after I leave, and run for an hour every morning according to the breathing method I taught you, as long as you insist on running for ten years, you will understand the deep meaning of me letting you run." ”
Li Yanqing nodded, "I will definitely insist!" ”
Hu Sheng took out a thin yellowed silk book from his arms and handed it to Li Yanqing, "This is what my father left me, it is a few very practical swordsmanship, but because I took a fierce road, it is useless to me, I gave it to you, and with your speed, I think six or seven Khitan soldiers are not your opponents." ”
Hu Sheng got up and said goodbye, and walked to the door, Hu Sheng turned around and smiled: "You are really a skill to hit stones, and you can also practice archery in the future, archery and you hit stones are actually the same thing, I'm leaving, Qing'er, let's see you again!" ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Mrs. Hu's family left Li Wen Village in a hired ox cart, and Li Yanqing sent them to Lushan Town, and everyone shed tears and said goodbye.
