Chapter 289

When Mrs. Sha said this, her face was miserable, she smiled sadly, and then said: "The two elder brothers were only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, and they didn't know what happened, but when they saw their father like this, they knew that things must be not small. It was in horror that he didn't say much. Dad briefly explained the matter, and repeatedly told him not to leak this matter. In the past few days, I will make some preparations, find an opportunity to leave the Fang family's old house, and make plans after finding my sister in the capital.

"That night, I didn't sleep all night, and a thousand thoughts went through my mind. Although the men of the clan have not taken us women seriously for as long as I can remember, the patriarch and the old lady would be so vicious to his siblings as to never think about it. The relatives are still like this, after escaping from the Fang family's old mansion, the people outside are only afraid of being more insidious and cunning. Even if she fled to the capital to find her sister, she was married to a woman, and the Ma family was an official family in the capital, I heard that several elders were on errands in Jinyiwei, and they had a good relationship with the patriarch and the old lady, if they knew that Daddy had escaped from the Fang family's old mansion with us, they didn't know how they would treat us.

In the days that followed, Daddy had been secretly preparing. On the fifth day, it was a rainy day. Daddy quietly told us to get a good night's sleep, and we had to leave the Fang family's old house at night. Although I had been thinking about how to escape from Fang's house for the past few days, I was still nervous when it came to the end. In the evening, the rain became heavier. After nightfall, my father called us to his room and whispered: 'After we escape from the old house of the Fang family, we will go south first, if we accidentally get separated, we must remember to go to Jiujiang, Jiangxi, where there is a Wanxing Temple, and after gathering in the temple, we will go to the capital. ’

"After Daddy finished speaking, the eldest brother was quite puzzled and asked, 'Daddy, aren't we going to the capital?' If we go south, won't we go in the opposite direction?" Daddy said, "If the patriarch finds out that we have left the Fang family's old mansion, he will definitely think that we will go north to the capital to find the eldest girl." It was so that we first went south, avoiding their pursuit, and then turned westward, and after reaching Jiangxi, we turned north. Daddy still has a few friends in Jiangxi, and he can help us go to the capital when the time comes. ’

"After the bangzi was struck, all I could hear was the roar of the rain outside, and everything between heaven and earth seemed to be covered by the rain. Daddy brought each of us a few taels of broken silver, and gave us a few more words. Then they each put on a poncho and quietly went out of the house. Under the cover of heavy rain, we left the old house without much effort. Daddy was thoughtful and knew that there would be footprints in the heavy rain, so after leaving the old house, we first headed north, and soon walked into the mountains. Daddy told us to jump up the tree, and with light feats we crossed a mountain to the north, and then turned westward, and walked more than two miles before turning south. Daddy said, after a big circle like this, even if the patriarch and the old lady have no last resort, he will definitely not be able to think of where we are going.

"After daybreak, when the rain stopped, we arrived at a town. Although this place is located thirty or forty miles southwest of the Fang family's old house, my father did not dare to hold it up, and ordered the three of us to hide in a dilapidated land temple outside the town, go to the town and buy a few steamed buns and come back, give a few of us to eat, and then continue south.

"We walked south for two days, about a hundred miles, and then turned west. The road did not stop for a day, and finally arrived at Jiujiang, Jiangxi. The Jiujiang River is the key point of water and land transportation, and it is extremely lively. Although my father told us to be careful in everything and not to hide our secrets, but my two brothers and I are both teenagers, and I thought that this place was hundreds of miles away from the Fang family's old house, and after the patriarch found out that we had escaped from the Fang family, he would only send someone to the north to track us, and he would never have thought that we had arrived in Jiangxi. Although my father told us again and again, we agreed on the surface, but we didn't care in our hearts.

"Daddy took us to the northern suburbs of Jiujiang and found a place called Beiwu Village. Daddy said he was going to take us to meet a friend surnamed Lu, who he said was a lifelong friend he had made when he was young, and that he was not only good at martial arts, but also eager for justice and righteousness, and would definitely help us escape to the capital.

"The man lived in an inconspicuous house in the south of Beiwu Village. When Daddy knocked on the door, a servant opened it. Daddy explained his intentions, and the servant entered to report it, and a moment later, a middle-aged man in his forties greeted him. After he and my dad met, they were both very happy. Daddy wants us to call this man Uncle Lu. I saw that this Uncle Lu had a kind face, and when our family of four was extremely enthusiastic, the original nervous mood slowly calmed down.

"After Uncle Lu arranged for us to stay, he went to talk to his father. I lived in one room alone, and my two brothers lived in another, next to each other's rooms. In the past few days, I fled from Fujian to Jiangxi, and I slept in the open air along the way, and I was worried about it. I got to the house, sat down in a chair to rest, and before I knew it, I fell asleep. It wasn't until the servant knocked on the door and called for me to go to dinner that I woke up from my dream.

"I remember that dream so strange. I dreamed that when I was a child, I was playing with my sister outside the Fang family's old house, and I was having fun when suddenly a woman came over. I couldn't see her face clearly, but I thought she was so kind. She grabbed my sister and me by the hands and told us to leave because someone was trying to kill us. My sister asked her who she was, and she said I was your mother! But at that moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, and I was awakened from my dream. When I woke up, I heard someone knocking on the door, but it was the servant of the Lu family who came to call me to dinner.

"The dinner was so generous. In fact, after entering this house, I knew that the Lu family must not be an ordinary family. This house looks inconspicuous from the outside, and even a little dilapidated, but when you enter the courtyard, you find that there is a world inside. I grew up in the Fang family's old house, and although I didn't have much knowledge, I also saw that the items and furnishings in this house were not ordinary objects. When I saw this table of wine and food, without a dozen taels of silver, I couldn't do it at all, and I was even more surprised.

"Uncle Lu summoned his eldest son to accompany us to the meal. During the banquet, Dad and Uncle Lu talked about wine and talked about some interesting things in the rivers and lakes. Dad said that he had never left the Fang family for more than ten years, and he didn't know much about things in the rivers and lakes. Uncle Lu said that in the past ten years, several martial arts masters in Jiangxi have passed away, but the back waves of the Yangtze River have pushed the front waves, and some young masters have emerged. Among them, the most outstanding young master is named Yan Wuji, who is the first master of the Yan family in Jiangxi. Since his debut, he can almost be called a hundred victories, look at this momentum, in a few years, Yan Wuji will definitely shine in the martial arts, and fight for his fellow martial arts in Jiangxi.

"We rested at Uncle Lu's house that night. Because I had a nap in the afternoon, I wasn't very sleepy. Lying on the bed, I couldn't help but think of the dream I had in the afternoon. Soon after I was born, my mother died, so I didn't know what she looked like. It's just that the woman in the dream feels very kind. I was afraid that it was really my mother, who was worried about the safety of our family, and came to report to us. If I had known what had happened since then, I would have left as soon as possible with my father and brother, but I would not have been destroyed. ”

"Destroy the door?"

Murong Danyan exclaimed, Mrs. Sha's face was heavy, she nodded, and said, "Sister, you are talented and smart, and your martial arts are not weak. It's just that you have to know that in the rivers and lakes, it is often not martial arts that determine the success or failure of life and death, but strategy. You have also told me about all the strange things you have encountered in the rivers and lakes since you left Murong Villa. I was happy for my sister and sweated for my sister. None of the people you met in the Five Tiger Villas, the Fusang woman Liu Feiyan, etc., were good matches. Fortunately, Li Gongzi helped several times, so that he could be safe. It's just that the rivers and lakes are treacherous, and Li Gongzi can't always be by your side, and there are some things that you have to be careful about. ”

Murong Danyan recalled what had happened in the past six months, and it was indeed as Mrs. Sha said. After he left Murong Villa, he broke away from the wings of his father and brother, and turned out to be a thorn step by step. The five owners of the Five Tiger Villa are just second- and third-rate characters in the rivers and lakes, and they almost took their own lives, not to mention Tang He, Liu Feiyan, Liu Sheng Zongyan, Shajiabao and other masters. If it weren't for the help of Li Qiufeng, Xiao Zhanpeng and Mrs. Sha, his life would have been gone. Thinking of this, she thought to herself: "I only say that there is a clear distinction between black and white in the rivers and lakes, and everyone is a chivalrous person, and they will definitely be able to work hand in hand, do chivalrous righteousness, promote good and eliminate evil." It was only after walking the rivers and lakes that I realized that in the rivers and lakes, the black is not black, and the white is not white. Everyone is the first to take the lead, and each has a ghost. If you want to find a legendary selfless chivalrous warrior, it is a thousand difficult things. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad when I go through the rivers and lakes this time. ”
