Chapter 21 Chapter 19

Lin Shanshi finally got on his horse and traveled all the way from Longyan and Nanping to Jiangxi. This time he had a light knife and a fast horse, but he didn't have the heroic mood he had when he first left the rivers and lakes.In just one year, the past seemed like a dream.Time is a river, what flows away is not only the years but also the state of mind.All I saw along the way were refugees, wounded soldiers, children who lost their parents, parents who lost their children.The last time I wanted to find a few robbers to practice, but I couldn't.This time, I really ran into countless groups of robbers, but I just wanted to get rid of them.Once, when I rested my horse at night, I met a strong man.Lin Shanshi was so skillful, he quickly used a knife to force the yellow-skinned and skinny bandit leader to reprimand: "You are a good man, why do you want to do such a shameful thing?"

The robber said boldly, "Because I'm hungry." Lin Shanshi said: "Do you know the fate of being a robber?" The robber said: "I know, if you are lucky, you will be Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. If you are not lucky, you will kill me today." Lin Shanshi laughed dumbly and said, "It fell into the hands of this hero, do you regret it?" The robber said: "I don't regret it. Anyway, if I don't grab it, I will starve to death. I will die, so I might as well grab it." Lin Shanshi said angrily, "Are you going to grab it tomorrow?"

The robber said: "Still robbing!" Lin Shanshi jumped on the horse, scolded his mother, and left quickly, as if he was a hunted robber.Finally arrived in Shangrao, it was the first time for Lin Shanshi to come to the front line where wars were raging, and there was a lot of smoke and corpses everywhere. It was a good city, but most of the houses collapsed.All the trees in the city have no bark on them, and they must have been eaten up. Lin Shanshi has been praying all the way, Brother Wan can be a good person who cherishes the people, even if it's just to win people's hearts.As long as he can agree to give more food to the villagers, he is willing to pay any price.Zhangzhou is now controlled by the Tiandihui. As long as Wan Yunlong is willing to nod, they can take half of it as military rations, and the remaining half is enough for the people of Zhangzhou to survive until the rice is ripe in autumn.Saving the people in Zhangzhou is not in vain.But Lin Shanshi didn't have much confidence in his heart. In prison, he had hoped that the prefect of Li would see clearly, but the prefect with a good reputation among the people was still a stupid official.Since then, he has not dared to have any hope for the morality of the so-called big men.

Lin Shanshi finds the largest and most guarded house, and suddenly goes berserk.He straightened his collar, rode his horse, and rushed straight into the gate with his head held high.The guards didn't stop him, and some of them knelt and saluted.Lin Shanshi found that no matter how heavily guarded the place is, and no matter how big the stone lions outside are, as long as you walk straight with your head held high and the horse is not bad, most of the guards will not dare to question you.Of course, if you are cautious and smile all over your face, this group of people may be more fierce than one another, and even reporting a letter can make you wait for half a year.Lin Shanshi went straight in, and when he was about to reach the lobby, a man stopped him with his hand. He hesitated and smiled and asked, "But Zheng Shizi's special envoy? There are too many guests these days, and he looks a bit unfamiliar."

Lin Shanshi said: "No. I saw that the house here is the largest, and I guessed that it was the residence of Wan Longtou, so I came in to have a look." The man's expression changed immediately, and he shouted: "Who are you? You are not a guest of Wan Longtou. Did you rush here?" After speaking, he put his hand on the handle of the knife.As soon as these words came out, a group of men in black around opened their bows and arrows. It can also be considered that Lin Shanshi has been labeled as true or false by "Shaolin Grandmaster", "Father-in-Law of Taishi", and "Relatives of Fan Wang" during these days, and he has cultivated the aura of some big men.If it takes a year in the morning, I'm afraid I will do it in an instant, and then I will become a hedgehog.At this moment, Lin Shanshi laughed: "Brothers have misunderstood. I am going down to Lin Shanshi, and come to meet Wan Dalongtou."

There was some commotion in the crowd, the man still kept his hand from the handle of the knife, and his tone eased, he said, "But Lin Shanshi, the master of Shaolin who beat Japanese pirates three times in Zhangzhou? Do you have proof?" Lin Shanshi said: "Gaoxi Temple on Dingshan Mountain." The man's face finally softened: "The ground vibrates on the high hills, and there are beautiful streams and mountains through the ages; the gate faces the sea, and the Sanhe River flows for thousands of years. Brother Lin, wait a moment, I will go in and report." After a while, Wan Yunlong came out barefoot, with "worshiping brother" Bai Luan beside him.Lin Shanshi hurriedly got off his horse to salute, Wan Yunlong said happily: "Last night I dreamed of magpies circling the branches, and today there is indeed a bright future, and the Sa family has always been thirsty for talent. Brother Lin, you are finally here. Hahahaha!"

Bai Luan picked up Lin Shanshi and said, "I knew that with Brother Lin's skills, how could he just stay at home every day, and sooner or later the world would make a difference." He even tied the horse for him himself, and the three of them worked together Go into the inner room.A temple is embroidered on the wall of the inner room, and a huge black bear skin is on the table. Wan Yunlong pointed to the painting and said: "That is the place where the Sajia shop opened. The Tiandihui was established by the Sajia in Gaoxi Temple, and it is only a hundred miles away from your home. A man should be a man of his own life, how can he be willing to be mediocre? One life? You see, in just a few years, the Sa family has 100,000 brothers. If you hadn’t been captured by the Manchu Tartars, I really didn’t know there was a Shaolin master like you—how is your family doing well?”

Lin Shanshi exchanged pleasantries. Bai Luan said: "Talk with Brother Wan first. I'll go get some bowls of noodles. This manchurian tartar is not a thing, so we all have nothing to eat, so we have to eat noodles as a cleansing for Brother Lin." .” Wan Yunlong said: "The Sa family likes to eat the noodles of Military Master Bai, hurry up and cook them. They are all my brothers, why are you being polite?" Lin Shanshi said: "Brother Wan, thanks to Brother Wan, everything is fine at home. Is the battle going well?" Wan Yunlong lowered his head and said: "Eat first, and don't talk about wars in your spare time. Anyone who has fought in wars doesn't like to talk about wars, and when you have really fought, you don't want to talk about them. Since you Come, don't worry, this battle is naturally worth fighting."

Bai Luan brought the noodles over, with eggs still lying on top, and asked questions with a smile on his face.Lin Shanshi has always had an inexplicable and unexplainable resentment towards Bai Luan, but gradually he was warmed up by his enthusiasm.Wan Yunlong drank with his arms around his shoulders, and Bai Luan sang folk songs naturally.Lin Shanshi found that such an organization as the Tiandihui does have a charm that is difficult for ordinary people to resist. The more people like him who are not respected at the bottom and have a little heart, the easier it is to be attracted by these loyalty, enthusiasm, and heroic ambitions.He restrained himself and asked, "Where's Ma Ji? Brother Ma Ji, are you okay?"

Bai Luan's eyes were red, and he sighed, "Ma Ji died when he attacked Yingtan last month. Every time he rushed in front of his brothers, no matter how skilled he was, it was useless. Poor Yangzhou lone knife. Both parents died, and the eyes of the world were enough. If he hadn't entered the Tiandihui and had the warmth of his brothers, he really didn't know the way out. Now he died young, the most pitiful thing is that he has never tasted a woman's love in this life. smell." Wan Yunlong scolded: "Sigh! Can people not die? Most men die of illness in their own homes, so what good is that? A martial artist can fight to the death with his brothers on the battlefield, so he doesn't have to spend his whole life as a fool You should be happy!"

When Lin Shanshi heard the words, he immediately felt a sense of pride.I have also vaguely thought about it before, eating, sleeping, getting old, sick, and dying. What is the difference between living like this and a bull?After listening to Brother Wan's words, I felt that a hero should be like this, and my blood became hot. Wan Yunlong said again: "There are too many poor brothers in the world, but most of the wealthy families will not follow us to do these beheading business - I am afraid that many people will die like Ma Ji, and they are not men. We are for the nation. How can you be inferior to the Manchu Tartars by sacrificing your life for righteousness. Bai Luan, you go and give an order that if you take down a city from the Manchu Tartars, the brothers can find any woman in the city to play with for three days. As long as the food is returned to the public. " Bai Luan said happily: "Brother is benevolent and righteous. Just relying on this one, the combat effectiveness of our Tiandihui army will increase a lot." Lin Shanshi shrank back the arrogance he had just mustered up.At this time, there was a rumbling sound in my ear. Lin Shanshi said: "Thunder? The sun is coming out." Wan Yunlong said: "It's the cannon in red—foreign devils are not good people. Selling this cannon to the tartars has hurt many of my brothers. When I win, I will kill all the foreign devils." Lin Shanshi said: "Why is it like thunder, half of the houses in the city were also destroyed by cannons?" Wan Yunlong said: "That's not true. They don't have so much ammunition. We demolished those houses so that they can be expanded into military camps. Bai Luan, have you thought of a way to deal with the cannons?" Bai Luan gritted his teeth and said, "Last time I sprinkled a few barrels of urine on the city wall, but now it doesn't seem to be effective. I guess this time I have to use a boy's urine and stool. I don't believe in so many things to ward off evil spirits." , will not be able to stop the Western cannons! If it doesn’t work, I’ll get a few mages from the White Lotus Sect to hang on the wall to see if their masters will really show up to help block the cannons.” Wan Yunlong said: "Don't you not believe in this thing?" Bai Luan said: "I didn't believe it at first, but I got a headache from being bombed by the Tartars' cannons - maybe a dead horse is used as a living horse doctor. Maybe their master is really possessed by Maitreya Buddha. I have seen a few really capable people who are invulnerable to swords and guns. " Lin Shanshi smiled and said: "Let me try to cut it twice. It is impossible to be invulnerable. Humans are fleshy, so they can't beat the blade. It's just that the knife is not sharpened quickly, and I have practiced the iron shirt for a few days. .I have brothers who rely on this to eat in the market." Wan Yunlong said: "Hehe, if the boy's urination is still not enough, we will send some experts to touch and destroy their cannons in the middle of the night. In terms of close quarters, even Wu Sangui's relatives are no match for our brothers." Bai Luan said: "That's right. Our brothers are all wandering rivers and lakes. There is still some gap between us when it comes to marching formations, single-handedly, sneak attack, close combat, whether it is the Eight Banners of the Tartars, Zheng Jingjun, Geng Jingzhong's army or Wu Sangui's army. The brothers in the association are all ranked first. If it weren’t for Geng Jingzhong, they wouldn’t be wooing us like this.” Wan Yunlong said: "It's a pity that Tiandihui doesn't have its own territory, and there is too little food. Otherwise, it wouldn't be necessary to work hard for the Geng family—forget it, all the details will be discussed after driving out the Tartars first." Lin Shanshi hesitated and said, "Brother Wan. I have a request." Wan Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Tiandihui's rule is to make contributions first, and then make requests." Lin Shanshi swallowed back what he wanted to say.At this time, I heard crying outside again.Bai Luan said: "It's troublemakers again. They only occupy a few rooms, and they are dying. How can they rebel like this? It seems that some people who don't know the current affairs will be arrested." Wan Yunlong frowned and said: "You too, check before tearing down the house, if there are still people inside, don't forcefully push it away. Let's kill someone this time, go and deal with it properly. Anyway, the world will be a poor team , don’t make the people bother us, and no one will join the club. You have to remember, we are fish and they are water.” Bai Luan nodded in agreement, then got up and went out to deal with the problem.Lin Shanshi wanted to see how the army of Tiandihui treated the people, so he also stood up and said, "Brother Wan, I'll go and help." Walking out of the gate, there was a group of people kneeling outside wearing sackcloth and filial piety.The big man who stopped Lin Shanshi just now led a group of men in black and blocked the door with their bows and arrows drawn. Bai Luan said: "Master Jiao Xiang, what's going on? Why would anyone dare to make trouble here?" The old woman cried loudly: "We want to see General Wan! There is no way to live like this! I have saved up all my life to build this house! I was pushed in the middle of the night! The old man was still sleeping inside, and he couldn't escape being crushed to death." Ah! The old man has never suffered in his life, this time the corpses are all deflated!" Bai Luan said kindly: "Grandma, get up first, people from our Tiandihui are the most reasonable. Here is the five hundred Zhang Yumin Tongbao, let me make your compensation." A young man with protruding veins said, "Why do I need this waste paper? I want my ancestor's house, and I want the life of the person who demolished the house!" Bai Luan said: "Okay. You guys go back first, I'll check the situation first. Then I'll discuss it with the person in charge—you don't crowd here, it's obstructing, um, obstructing the traffic." The young man said: "Don't play Cuju, our Ouyang family is not easy to bully!" Bai Luan immediately changed his face, and said with a sneer, "Do you know who I am? When I killed someone, you were still sucking the fuck out of me. Why do we people go through life and death? It's not for your children and grandchildren not to be slaves of other races." The purpose of demolishing your houses is to build barracks for the Tiandihui army. With a good barracks, there will be another strong fortress, so that we can win the war. You must also have a sense of the overall situation, and have the idea of ​​​​the country first, If there is no country, how can there be a home? Crying and crying for a house has no national integrity. I am here to tell you. Whoever opposes the Tiandihui is a traitor!" The family who were still crying just now looked at each other, and the uncle said: "We grassroots dare not oppose Tiandihui. It's just—this house has been our family for generations, what do you ask everyone to do?" Bai Luan said: "Isn't it a unified demolition? You all arranged to live in the cave. What's the matter? Others can live in it, but your family can't. I think it's rich people like you who enjoy too much , You have to know what Tiandi will do, it is dedicated to killing the rich and helping the poor. Don’t force us to do justice for the heavens, and haven’t we lost money? If you want more, Yumin Tongbao can give more—this For thousands of years, we are not as good as we are. If you give money and you still make trouble, that is unreasonable trouble! I will deal with you as traitors. First arrest your youngest grandson to block the cannon." The old woman said: "No—Master Jun—we don't care about this house. Children, let's go back to the cave." The young man said with red eyes: "No - the house can be demolished. Grandpa can't die in vain, you have to hand over the murderer! Knowing that someone is pushing the house, it's worse than a beast." Bai Luan rolled his eyes and said: "There is such a thing, demolition of so many houses is still very rare. The mainstream is always good, and let's say that big things don't care about small things. In this complicated situation, and in the complicated northern Jiangxi , some sections don’t need to be so clearly calculated.” The whole family cried again and rolled on the ground again. Bai Luan looked back, fearing that it would affect Brother Wan's rest, he said, "Why are you crying! You will be arrested if you cry again! Don't think that you Ouyang are a local rich family, so you can be lawless and do whatever you want." ——Jiao Xiangzhu, yesterday Which brother from the Tiandihui is the demolition?" Lord Jiao Xiang whispered: "It's a new vegetable tyrant from Yingtan, Li San, who just joined the army and came here to help out temporarily, not the brothers from the Tiandihui." Bai Luan's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's temporary—being an official doesn't make decisions for the people, why don't you go home and sell sweet potatoes, I'll kill Ma Su with tears today." Bai Luan said righteously: "Come here, bring that dog who caressing about human life yesterday and kill him to avenge the common people." After a while, a drunk man was killed. The old man knelt down to thank him.Bai Luan added dozens more tongbao, handed it to the old lady and said affectionately: "I will remember the common people's contributions to the Tiandihui's uprising. We, Wan Dalong, have said that the Tiandihui and the people will always have a fish-water relationship. The Tiandihui will Fish cannot live without water." With tears in her eyes, the old woman staggered away with the whole family.Lord Jiao Xiang gave Bai Luan a thumbs up. Lin Shanshi thought to himself: This fish cannot live without water, but does water need fish? At night, the city walls where the children's urine and feces were splashed were also pierced by cannonballs.Wan Yunlong looked at the hole in the wall and was furious. He decided to send a team of masters to dive across the river at night and destroy the enemy's artillery.Lin Shanshi thought to himself that he should make a contribution to the Tiandihui. Firstly, he should pay them back the favor of saving him and taking care of his family; Folks from Zhangzhou. Lin Shanshi said: "Brother Wan, let me fight tonight. My kung fu is pretty good." Wan Yunlong was very happy, he put his arms around Lin Shanshi, and said: "I'll just wait for this sentence, today is the coming-of-age ceremony for you to become a real Han man." Lin Shanshi hesitated for a while and said, "Can we not tell about my participation in the war afterwards? You know my daughter is still in the capital." Wan Yunlong pondered for a while, and said sadly: "The Sa family is a little jealous of you. You want love for your sons and daughters, and you want heroic stories. You live a richer life than the Sa family. The Sa family only has this world meeting, and the few sons also love you. They were at the forefront, and most of them are dead now. Haha. Don’t worry, I agree to your request.” After saying that, he sent over forty masters, and the leader was Lord Jiao Xiang. When he was young, Lin Shanshi was dressed in black, drank a bowl of Zhuangxing wine, and felt that the style outside was chilling.He was finally on the battlefield.In his mind, the scene of fighting the Quartet with the White Crane Fist flashed countless times.But he had never experienced a real life-and-death struggle, Lin Shanshi felt the blood rushing to his head, and his whole body felt light. Diving across the river, I soon touched the Manqing artillery formation.There are about 20 soldiers from the Qing Dynasty standing guard in the artillery formation.Jiao Xiang said: "Kill them, you must be quick. You are in the enemy's hinterland, if you are slow, you will know the consequences." The people sent by the Tiandihui are all Lianjiazi, elites who have experienced many battles.It's this kind of assassination in the rivers and lakes, everyone is handy.In an instant, the Qing army fell.Lin Shanshi also lightly jumped in front of a Qing soldier, only to see Han Dao drawn out of its sheath, and the saber rested on the Man Qing soldier's neck, with just one swipe, he could easily end the enemy.But an invisible and huge force stopped his hand at the enemy's throat. This Qing soldier was only sixteen or seventeen years old, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of terror.Lin Shanshi thought: Am I going to kill him?He is the same size as my daughter, why should I kill him?Just for a moment, his breathing was faster than that of Qing Bing.The Qing soldier jumped back, shouted in Manchu, and threw a signal flare casually. Master Jiao Xiang immediately flew over and killed the Qing army with a few stabs.But the signal flares scattered in the air, Lin Shanshi smelled the smell of blood permeating the air, looked at the Qing soldiers who were still alive just now, and now they were split in two, all of his kung fu disappeared, and there was something in his throat that wanted to vomit again and again not come out. Jiao Xiang said: "Mr. Zhang Xian, Mr. Li, quickly lead people to block the cannon with stones, and throw everything that can be thrown into the river. The Tartars will come over immediately, ready to fight." After finishing speaking, his expression changed He looked at Lin Shanshi complicatedly and sighed. The cannons here were destroyed, and the Qing soldiers from all over the mountains and plains arrived there.Master Jiao Xiang patted Lin Shanshi on the shoulder and said: "This is the case for all recruits, prepare for the next battle - break out in the south direction." The order was so calm, so cold, and so full of nonsense.Zhengnan is the direction to go back to Shangrao, and we must rush in this direction, but the problem is that at least 500 Qing troops have come. Lin Shanshi felt that the silence between the sky and the earth was a little frightening, and the moon was also bright and ruthless.Gritting his teeth and pulling out the knife, he told himself a common saying: non-toxic is not a husband.While chattering his teeth, he secretly decided to treat all the Qing soldiers in front of the sword as wooden dummy.But the Qing army seemed not prepared to give him a second chance, and bows and arrows flew over like a torrential rain.Lin Shanshi swung the knife tightly, but his thigh was still shot by random arrows.He turned around and saw that more than a dozen brothers had been killed by arrows, and the remaining brothers were all dead. Some were trembling with pain, and some were clearly still alive, but the pain was so unbearable that they threw the arrows into their chests. It was inserted deeper in the middle, and it died in a blink of an eye.The dead don't have much pain, it's like going home, but the living are like purgatory.Lord Jiao Xiang pulled out the arrow from his back, dug Lin Shanshi's arrow from his thigh with a dagger, bowed his head and sucked a mouthful of pus, and cursed: "Your mother, if you have the ability to single out, what kind of skill is archery?" ?” Lin Shanshi watched Jiao Xiangzhu’s actions, and felt grateful, thinking that this is called a brother. Before the words fell, another round of random arrows shot over.Lin Shanshi had gained experience, first curled himself into a ball, and then swung the knife.After all, after decades of hard training, the bow and arrow fell to the ground, and they couldn't get close.Suddenly, he felt a heavy weight behind him, Jiao Xiangzhu was shot in the back and died behind him. Only five brothers are left alive.Lin Shanshi's sense of fear was gone, and it turned into a kind of hatred that his brothers and sisters were killed.His eyes instantly turned green, and an urge to hunt welled up in his blood.He made a gesture and walked south with the few remaining wounded.After only ten steps, we met more than 20 Qing troops.The Qing army saw that there were five wounded.Thinking they were here to surrender, they formed a circle and laughed with their heads held high. Lin Shanshi looked down, only to realize that his saber had blocked too many arrows just now, and the edge of the saber had been broken, so he threw the saber on the ground. The Qing army was even happier, and Manchu and Beijing films flew together.Lin Shanshi understood a sentence - "Han slaves are slaves".So he yelled violently and jumped up.Those prisons realized the principle of boxing and showed its power for the first time.The Qing army also had many veterans who had been in the Central Plains for decades. They were no strangers to the martial arts of various schools, but they had never seen such a set of punches.This is not a fist, and there is no ostentation of the Central Plains routine. This is the cry of the god of death, and it is the whole life of a martial idiot. Lin Shanshi forgot everything, it turns out that being alive does not mean not dying, but forgetting the time!Even the mantra of "invisible and formless, keep the middle and use the middle, hit the egg with a stone, flash and flint" is gone, and there is only a dance between life and death.Those things that were realized "before death" in the prison finally fermented into a strong fragrance when they dared to kill people.This is completely different from talking with apprentices, fighting with wooden dummy, playing with Zhou Tuozi, and fighting with brothers.No matter how realistic you are when you practice, it is impossible to stick a finger straight into someone's throat, or pinch someone's scrotum with a crane claw.If you don't want to kill people, no matter how good your skill is, it will be compromised after all.But here, if you don't kill others, others will kill you. With one thought of benevolence, the robes around you will become corpses.There is no such thing as good or evil, no success or failure, and the original intention of kung fu is swayed. Lin Shanshi stood behind with his hands behind his back, looking at the Qing soldiers staggering to and fro, he said to himself: So this is how the White Crane Boxing is used.Or, this is no longer called White Crane Fist.For a moment, there is neither joy nor loss, just like the constant moonlight in the emptiness.The eyes of the five brothers from Tiandihui have all changed, and they are all shining with admiration that is almost pious.At first I thought that I was bound to die, but I didn't expect that the "savior" was my own, and I suddenly felt a kind of courage to live. Suddenly another rain of arrows shot towards the top of the mountain. A young man with a baby face said: "These tartar dogs don't know we've come down yet. If it's later, we won't be able to see mother again." Lin Shanshi took a step forward, the leg injured by the arrow was in severe pain.He said: "There are hundreds of Qing troops ahead, but unfortunately my leg was injured, otherwise, there might be a chance to go back." A man with beards took out a lice and squeezed it to death, ate it with his own blood, and said, "That's enough, but it's a pity that I haven't fucked a woman. Before I die, I can fight with a peerless hero." One match, no regrets." The boy with a baby face said: "Don't despair, Big Brother Wan will come to meet us. Tian Di Hui has never abandoned a brother, as long as we survive for a while, our people will come to kill us." Lin Shanshi looked at the corpses all over the place, and thought: It would be great if my girl was here.Play the song "Jade Gate Folding Willows", and I will pass on all this kung fu to her, and I will have no regrets. The bearded man screamed: "Qing soldiers!" As soon as the words fell, he was hacked.Lin Shanshi took a look, and there were more than a dozen more, obviously still belonging to the vanguard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Qing army looked at the corpses all over the place, some showed incredulous expressions, and some showed the same hatred that Lin Shanshi had when he saw Lord Jiao Xiang's death.They rushed forward with spears.Lin Shanshi stood still, blocking casually. He no longer wanted to attack, and the pain in his leg also made it difficult for him to attack.But there are more and more Qing soldiers, and the guns are all aimed at his vitals, and two more brothers from the Tiandihui have fallen.Lin Shanshi still forced himself to make a move.After a fierce battle, these ten or so Qing soldiers could never return to their hometown.Lin Shanshi was shot in the shoulder and arm.He half knelt and said, "I'm ashamed." The beard fell into a pool of blood, and his legs had been neatly cut off.He said: "You can still fight. Damn, you deserve to die." Babyface cried loudly, "Hero Lin. Surrender." The bearded man stared round his eyes: "Bah! Little Chen, you are not a man!" Lin Shanshi looked down the mountain, wondering how many Qing troops were still there, and said casually: "I don't even know your names, but you are going to die together. Big beard, don't scold this baby, I don't want to fight anymore, I don't want to kill any more Yes. If you want to surrender, you can surrender, and I will die here." The bearded man sighed when he heard the words, and said, "That's fine, you've done well to Brother Wan by destroying the cannon in red." Finally he couldn't hold on anymore, and fell to the ground singing a song about how the world can smuggle salt. Lin Shanshi was thirsty and had no water to drink, so he drank the enemy's blood indiscriminately.He smiled, thinking that he must look like a devil by now.The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and my life is about to end in this barren mountain that I don't know the name of.That's right, the show is about to end, it should have ended long ago.Even the White Crane Fist that he played so well just now was a luxury that shouldn't be had.If the Qing army had just come a little earlier for the third rain of arrows—if I hadn’t been imprisoned—if my daughter hadn’t married a grand master—if I hadn’t gone to practice martial arts and learned to be a bamboo craftsman—son Most of the time partners are bamboo craftsmen.What will this life be like?It is unbelievable that he has practiced kung fu to such a level, and he is very lucky.Human death is an inevitability, and it is only accidental to be able to practice a unique skill.In this life, if you love something, get something, and encounter all kinds of strange encounters, you have already made a lot of money. A streak of green smoke streaked across the sky.The baby face excitedly said: "Brother Wan, Brother Wan is here. I knew that Brother Wan would not leave my brother behind." Hearing the commotion at the foot of the mountain, Lin Shanshi felt that life and death were just the same thing, so he fell asleep.After a while, Bai Luan rushed up with a group of people. Bai Luan saw that Lin Shanshi had his eyes closed, his face was covered with blood, he knelt down and cried loudly, while beating his hands: "Brother Lin, I'm still a step late!" Lin Shanshi opened his eyes and said, "I'm not dead." Bai Luan froze for a moment, cried even harder, and said, "That's good, that's good. Have you dismantled the cannon?" Lin Shanshi said in his heart, he didn't ask about his brother's life and death, but first asked if the cannon was dismantled, this is not a kind person.He said: "Congratulations Bai Zhuge, the cannons have been dismantled." Bai Luan was so happy that he jumped up and said, "That's great. The Tartars don't have the cannons in red. They are no longer our opponents in Jiangxi. The Tiandihui will be able to counterattack a city tomorrow. This is also a great achievement for the Fuming Allied Forces." .” Upon hearing this, Lin Shanshi closed his eyes again. After a while, Bai Luan thought of something, and said, "How are you brothers, where is Master Jiao Xiang? Brother Wan saw the Manchus sending out signal flares, so he knew that the assassination on your side was not going well, and the Tartars must have discovered it, so he led the army himself. Come over to meet him. Brother Wan Shanxia was still fighting with the Tartars, so I took advantage of the time and led someone to come around from the side path. The Tiandihui will never abandon a brother." Lin Shanshi listlessly said: "They're all dead—there are only me and this doll left over forty people." Bai Luan punched Baby Face, and said: "Master Jiao Xiang replaced more than ten foreign cannons from the Tartars, it's worth it. Wan Dalongtou will reward you very much. Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to make such a great contribution You guys killed so many Tartars?" Babyface looked at Lin Shanshi, lowered his head shyly, Lin Shanshi knew what he meant, Babyface was afraid that he would say what he wanted to surrender just now. Lin Shanshi nodded and said: "Xiao Chen fought bravely. He killed the most enemies in the few batches of Qing soldiers just now. He fought until the last moment and was very loyal." With his baby face on his back, Bai Luan put a green smoke bomb into the air, and ordered his men to pick up Lin Shanshi on their backs and retreat towards the path. Back in Shangrao City, Lin Shanshi was resting on the bed, his leg injury made him have a fever.In the dimness, it seems to be sleeping but not sleeping.When I closed my eyes, I could see blood flowing like a river. Countless young people asked him for their lives, and countless old Manchus asked him for their sons.Lin Shanshi woke up again with a jolt, only to see Baby Face changing towels for him.Lin Shanshi said: "Headache, why are you here?" The baby face whispered: "Hero Lin, I specially asked to take care of you. Thank you very much today. My name is Chen Jinnan, and the senior officials of the Tiandihui will call me Xiaochen. .One day I will definitely become a hero like Brother Lin." Lin Shanshi originally wanted to say what is good about being a hero, but when the words came to his lips, he slipped out a sentence: "Young people should have great ambitions, and they will succeed if they work hard." Xiao Chen was very excited when he heard the words, and said: "Thank you, hero, for your reminder. In life, grass grows once in autumn. Xiao Chen must work hard to live up to the high expectations of heroes, and he will definitely make the world more prosperous." Seeing that his face was flushed, Lin Shanshi thought to himself that there would be another horn that desperately kills people in this world.How can I say such a thing by myself, it is almost tantamount to prostitution.I wanted to pour some cold water, but I couldn't say it after all. On the second day, Wan Yunlong came to visit Lin Shanshi.Lin Shanshi just wanted to say his request, but before he could say it, he was forced by Wan Dalongtou to offer incense to the dead brother.From ancient times to the present, the dead are the greatest, let alone the men who fought side by side with him.Lin Shanshi straightened his clothes, sticking a walking stick, and followed Wan Yunlong to Shangrao East Street.In a school ground that was demolished and rebuilt from common people's houses, Bai Luan had set up an incense table, and under the incense table were densely packed with soldiers from the Tiandihui.Jiao Xiangzhu and other forty-three brothers' names are neatly erected on the incense table.A huge portrait of Guan Yunchang hung in the wind. Wan Yunlong led the crowd to kneel, and a group of men read in unison: "Fenghua Pavilion, Gaoxi Temple, the Ming Lord passed on the lineage, and the alliance was made by blood. Like Guan, Bao Zhizhong, Liu, Guan, and Zhang Weiyi, they turned against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and regarded them as the same family. In the past, there were private hatreds and hatreds, which were all spilled into the river and sea. .Yanhuang is above, never break the oath." The members of the Tiandi Congregation read: "There are those who are kind to persuade, those who have passed the rules, those who have clothes to wear, and those who have to die together. Yanhuang is above, and we will never break our oath." They repeated it several times in unison, loudly.Soon after, there were tears and choked up on the school field.The school grounds are full of a kind of magical power, like a torrent, engulfing everyone and forgetting themselves.Feeling that evil bravery, Lin Shanshi returned to his mind.Lin Shanshi hastily collected his heart and soul, he knew how to make a hero, he thought it was a little funny.But looking at the piety and tears of the people around me, I feel that I should be ashamed. Wan Yunlong paid homage to the incense, raised his arms, and the audience was completely silent.Wan Yun said in a dragon voice like a bell: "The Manchu Tartars killed my brother. Do you want to avenge this revenge?" "Report it!—report it!—report it!" Tens of thousands of men roared in unison, and the sound alone made people shudder. Wan Yunlong said: "Taking advantage of our army's night attack on the Tartars, we ruined the opportunity of the Qing artillery team. Today we will take advantage of the victory and go north to attack Jingdezhen. After capturing the city, the brothers will take the jewelry and the women will use it. We only need to return the food and grass to the warehouse. .” There was a thunderous applause from below. Bai Luan said: "Daxia Lin has a leg injury, and he is recuperating here. When my brother takes down Jingdezhen, I will send someone to pick you up." Lin Shanshi let out a long breath, he really didn't want to kill any more.At the thought of killing people, he got a headache again, and just took the opportunity to lie down on the school field. The Manchus did not resist much in Jingdezhen, and Wan Yunlong got the city that night and took Lin away.But it was just an empty city, except for thousands of old, young, sick and disabled, food, grass and women were taken away by the Qing army.The Tiandihui soldiers were very dissatisfied, and there were murders and arson. Bai Luan reported: "Brother Wan. Our army is running out of food and grass. The thousands left in this city are starving people. How should we deal with this?" Wan Yunlong snorted coldly and said, "Come ask me about such a trivial matter, what do you need a military advisor for?" Bai Luan wiped his hands on his neck and said, "Then it will be the same as last time when there was a lack of food. Let's get rid of them first?" Wan Yunlong was noncommittal. Lin Shanshi was shocked and said, "What did you say? Are you going to kill the common people?" Bai Luan said: "Brother Lin, there are thousands of mouths. Now that there is a shortage of food, how can the world have extra food to feed them?" Lin Shanshi slapped the table and said: "The surname Bai, that is thousands of lives!" Bai Luan said with a serious face: "Compared to the anti-Qing great cause, national rejuvenation. This is nothing! Besides, killing a few people in the past is called killing. Killing thousands of people is called numbers." Lin Shanshi trembled and said: "Do you know that killing people pays their lives, and debts are paid back?" Bai Luan laughed loudly and said, "Brother Lin's kung fu is extremely high, but after all, he has never read a book, so he lacks some knowledge. If you kill someone, you will pay with your life. How many pages are left in our history books?" Lin Shanshi looked at Wan Yunlong begging for help.Wan Yunlong picked up a piece of beef, chewed it slowly for a while, then gently hugged Lin Shanshi and said, "This beef just doesn't have the fragrance brought by Dongying—brother Lin, you have to be ruthless when doing big things. 。别说我没有太多粮食，就算多个粮仓，也得先考虑弟兄的生死，这叫深挖洞，广积粮——历史成败有自己的血则，有时由不得太多侠气。” 林山石低着头默不作声。 万云龙拍了拍着林山石的肩膀，帮他拂去点灰尘，道：“对了，你上次不是说要请求我什么吗？你毁掉鞑子炮队，大功一件。有什么请求就直说吧。” 林山石昂着头道：“不必了。我明日就回漳州。” 纵马出城，在景德镇老街最大的瓷器上，不知哪个文人写了几句酸话：天地不仁方入会，明为反清实为己。万事不成便造反，成则为王败则贼。此言一出，景德镇的读书人成了第一批被活埋的对象，罪名是“异端”。 林山石坐在古一粮仓的瓦顶上，将钥匙放在手指间晃悠，街上的饿殍已经堆积如山，空中飘着一股霉味。
