Chapter 24 Chapter 22

Zhangzhou was originally a land of flowers, fruits, fish and rice, with three types of green miscellaneous plants, Jiahe twice new, slang singing, and wine tasting mellow.Of course, that is the rule of the world. In troubled times, let alone brewing wine with grain, a home that can still emit smoke is a wealthy family. Zhou Tuozi said: "Hero Lin, thank you for your relief these days. Speaking of which, King Jingnan really treats you no worse than Heaven and Earth. He asked for food and grass to give food and grass, and even approved the reduction and exemption of Zhangzhou's grain tax that you suggested, although Zhangzhou did not. What kind of food is left? If Lin Daxia didn’t intercede here, how many people would starve to death next year. Strange to say, Zhangzhou Prefecture has now changed its magistrate. Isn’t Tiandihui and King Jingnan on the same side? Why is Niu Xiang King Jingnan dismissed the master association? Now he is the servant of the Geng family again, and all the original Han army horses are in control. This Xinzhi county is really a fierce person. Don’t let it go—it’s almost autumn, it’s raining every day, the food is still not harvested, and the people are still suffering.”

Lin Shanshi looked at the villagers who built the wall at the foot of the mountain, and smiled slightly: "Who wins and who loses, does it matter to you? Whether it's Niu Xiangzhu or Ma Dutong, no matter who he is, the people are the ones who are hungry, and You are so exquisite, anyway, you are helping people to take care of the home." Zhou Tuozi said: "That's true. You are always a slave in any dynasty. Whether the master is good or not is purely luck. It's just that if the rain continues like this, the big family will have no food. I'm afraid that I, the master of gossip, will not be able to be a slave."

Lin Shanshi's words were the most kind in the past few decades, and he always thought about the past and the future when he spoke.After being on the battlefield and seeing many dead people, he can say whatever he wants.He said: "You bastard gossip master, you have practiced martial arts for many years, how many times have you fought, how many people have you killed? Hiding at home and beating your apprentice, you have become a master like this?" Zhou Tuozi was taken aback, and smiled embarrassingly: "The master is right. The master is a genius and famous all over the world. He only needs three or five moves, and he will definitely lose." Lin Shanshi thought to himself: In the past thirty years, no One person thinks that he is a genius, and if his daughter marries well and her friends brag about her, she will be a genius all day long.Is there such a nonsense?

Lin Shanshi hated the flattery of warriors, ignored Zhou Tuozi, and said to himself: "If it rains for another ten days, and the autumn harvest is missed, Zhangzhou will be starved to death." At the foot of the mountain, Wood Chi commanded dozens of men who had just had porridge to repair the wall. These men all knew that the porridge belonged to Hero Lin, and they worked very hard. Zhou Tuozi said: "There is no way to starve and die everywhere. It will be once every few decades. I have no skills. Of course I can't eat enough. Not everyone is as kind-hearted as Lin Daxia and willing to give. Even Lin Daxia can only You can save these dozens of people through the relationship of the Geng Mansion. There is one thing I don’t know—why did you let these rescued people build the city wall in front of the warehouse? The mountain road leading to the ancient granary is very narrow. , After building this wall, it will become a checkpoint. There is no food here, and it is useless to build a checkpoint of 'one man guards the gate, ten thousand men cannot open'."

Lin Shanshi smiled and said: "It's useful—I know it's useless—it's just giving these men porridge for nothing, which becomes a charity. I just don't want the seven-foot man to feel that he is being given alms." Zhou Tuozi was silent for a while, and said, "Hero Lin, you are a Buddha." Lin Shanshi said: "Where is there any Buddha? If there is a Buddha who saves all living beings, so many innocent people will not die. I just try to be a good person in a place where there is no Buddha." Zhou Tuozi said: "After the catastrophe is over, these people will definitely build a shrine for you."

Lin Shanshi suddenly felt the infinite scenery, but when he remembered the corpses scattered all over the mountain that night, he said: "Why bother. Look at the barren mound behind the mountain, how many people know about it. If you are alive, live well, and if you die, go quietly. So what if others remember, so what if they don’t remember?” Zhou Tuozi said: "Brother Lin has come to his senses, and I just care about not lacking in silver flowers in this life, and that's enough. The new magistrate held a Jiangdong painting exhibition, and invited the people to come and see it. Those who have passed will be rewarded with two catties of millet." Daxia Lin, you should go and have a look too. Although Daxia is a relative of King Jingnan, he must not worry about food, but the magistrate will always give him face. Otherwise, it will not be very convenient in the future if he is under the eaves of others. "

Lin Shanshi frowned and said, "I'm a martial artist, and I don't know much about writing. What do I do there?" Zhou Tuozi said: "Where are there so many well-educated people in this world? I thought, most of this exhibition is full of scolding people. Showing your face in the past is to show your attitude, so as not to be killed as the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. Our If you want to practice a few tricks and make a living, whoever is the head will work for him." Lin Shanshi sighed in his heart: "Bashi? He actually regards kung fu as a martial art? You look down on your own things, how can you make others look up to you?"

Lin Shanshi walked down the mountain, touched the wall that had been built, and said with complicated eyes: "Brothers, build it thicker and higher to ensure that the cannons in red can't be fired. You just stare here, Shifu, come down the mountain." Some entertainment." A young man picked up a piece of dirt and said: "Don't worry, hero, even if we repair the ancestral grave, we have never taken it so seriously." The Fujian-Zhejiang frontline also began to lack food, and some young men from Zhangzhou who were captured were released by Geng Jingzhong.When the strong men were arrested, the group of people had a big red flower with their faces full of tears; now they are sent back, and each of them still takes back a big red flower.

People come and go on the Jiangdong Ancient Bridge, and many works of the Southern Fujian School of Painting are hung on a red rope.All of the paintings are stories of Manchus bullying Han people: there are three massacres in Jiading, ten days in Yangzhou, horses raised in arable land, and monks who force monks to wear braids... The common people are also filled with righteous indignation, especially that A painting of horses in a plow field attracted the most outrage.Some strong men in the mountains on the border of the two prefectures wanted to join Geng's army on the spot, but they were rejected due to lack of food.

Walking to the bridge, the last painting attracted Lin Shanshi, because he had vaguely seen the street painted.The painter sits on the grand teacher's chair in the long pavilion, with messy hair and long beard, with a fairy-like demeanor.Seeing someone staring at this painting, I thought I wanted to buy it.Quickly sent a servant to explain, this servant Lin Shanshi also knew him before, he has a good voice, whenever there are weddings and funerals, he is specially in charge of mourning, during this period of time, he really has no worries about food and drink. The little servant said in a cadence and with strong emotion: "This painting is called "Jingdezhen Massacre". The massacre. After coming back, I couldn’t sleep at night, so I made this painting in a fit of anger to expose the crimes of the Man Qing. This happened two months ago, everyone, the Man Qing is not as good as a pig. Hundreds of righteous men in our Han army also ordered the massacre of the entire city, first of all the unarmed scholars, because they complained a few words, they were all buried alive."

Lin Shanshi frowned, looking at Xu Zhenzhen who was sitting proudly in the long pavilion, why did these guys have such a short memory?It is said that this painting is not bad, it is better than New Year pictures.But whores still know how to perform without selling themselves, can't this group of smart people do it?After the little servant finished explaining, he went over to pour tea for the painter.Lin Shanshi walked out of the ancient bridge without receiving any food, and he still alarmed the people on the bridge before he went far.Suddenly hearing the roar of the mountains and the tsunami behind him, Xu Zhenzhen hurriedly stepped down from the grand master's chair, leading a group of people who didn't know where they came from, and cried out in tears: "Here comes the hero Lin! The hero Lin came to see my painting! I wish King Jingnan a long life! I wish Wan Yunlong The general is in good health! Be healthy! I wish Lin Daxia... be healthy!" Lin Shanshi lowered his bamboo hat, and walked towards the Gu Yi granary without turning his head. Along the way, the cold rain soaked his cloak, and the mud stained his boots yellow.Lin Shanshi thought to himself: This is the land under the feet of this martial artist. The superior treats the deer like a horse, the subordinate flatters the horse, the bad guy recruits soldiers, and the good guy works alone. Ten days later, the wall was built and the rain continued. Yuan Shi said: "Do you remember what I said last year? The wheat is afraid of rain overnight in the Qingming Festival, and the rice is afraid of the frost in the cold dew. There is a disaster this year. It will rain when it is supposed to. The water in the reservoir is planted with orchids. Now it is time to harvest the grain." But the sky is rotten, and even if it clears up, he won’t give it away. This god is really a thief.” Lin Shanshi took a mouthful of gruel and said, "It's because God is unreliable, so people have to get together and help each other—tomorrow, pack up your things and move with me to Guyi Granary." Yuan's embroidery needle pricked his finger, sucked it, and said, "No need, I'm not afraid of running out of food. I have kept half of the things from Prince Jing's mansion in a cellar, and it will be fine for a few months. In fact, the manor will not take care of them anymore." In the evening, you go to the basement of the granary to steal some more. If you really live there, you can’t keep the secret—man, the fat pig Kang’s family is out of food, and his mother is almost dying. Want to borrow some from us, can you borrow it? " Lin Shanshi was stunned for a moment, and said decisively: "No borrowing!" Yuan Shi sighed: "This child really hurt you—by the way, tell the truth, why did you build such a thick wall in front of the granary?" Lin Shanshi smiled, but didn't answer, and suddenly said after a long time: "Tomorrow, you should go up the mountain with me." A huge cloud floated in Yuan's heart, stood up and said: "Man! You are not going to guard the checkpoint alone, and then distribute food to the people!" Lin Shanshi looked at the wooden dummy and nodded. Yuan said anxiously: "No way. How many nails you can have by yourself, you really think you are a hero. It was made up by Mr. Ruan to save you. I saved your life, and I forbid you to go Do this! Besides, your daughter is also in the capital, and she married the younger brother of King Jingnan, who divided the food on his territory? Even if there is no such relationship, if the Qing court privately divides the food, the Qing court will not let you go when it comes back .” Lin Shanshi looked down at the erotic paintings with his head down. Yuan said angrily: "Why are you lowering your head? Did you hear that?" Lin Shanshi raised his hand, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "This is the letter of divorce. I have already pressed my fingerprints. Auntie, thank you for taking care of me for so many years. If something happens to me, no matter which side Come and look for me, with this letter of divorce, you won't be troubled. I'm going up the mountain alone tomorrow." Looking at the divorce letter, Yuan Shi clenched her silver teeth, "You are so ruthless." She turned around and bolted the wooden door of the bedroom, and burst into tears. On the second morning, for the first time, Yuan didn't cook noodles for Lin Shanshi.Lin Shanshi put the towel in the well water, which was very cold. Lin Shanshi opened the bronze door on the basement of the granary, and Mu Mo wiped his eyes.There are mourners outside, and here the grain is piled as high as a mountain. Wood Chi opened his mouth wide and said, "Master—Master. Whose is this?" Lin Shanshi said: "I don't know. It should be said that it is the small treasury of the officials of the Qing Dynasty. The welfare of the officials of Fujian Province is here. I heard that the civil officials of Zhejiang Province and the military officers with the blue flag also get it from here during the New Year. They are called Huoxinzi." Wood Chi rolled on the golden rice and shouted, "This—this—should be enough to feed ten thousand people for a year." Lin Shanshi looked around, although he had been here several times quietly, he was still shocked every time he saw it.Lin Shanshi said: "It should be more than that. You underestimate the officials of the Celestial Dynasty. If you just make porridge, you can raise the whole Zhangzhou for a year." Wood Chi jumped up and threw the grain in the air, and the rice husks glowed with dazzling colors in the air. Lin Shanshi said solemnly: "Wood idiot. Now you have two choices. One is to get enough food for you and your mother and go down the mountain; the other is to help me guard the passway and let the hungry people in Zhangzhou City come up to distribute food." Mu Muchi said without hesitation: "I—Of course I will help Master." Lin Shanshi's heart became hot, and he slapped Mu Muzhi's head with a slap: "Okay! But the food will not only attract hungry people, but within two days, Jingnan Prince's Mansion and Tiandihui will come to grab the food. We divided the food from the Qing court. It is estimated that the Qing troops fighting on the front lines will not be happy either. What should we do?" Mu Mu said: "Whatever Master says to do?" Lin Shanshi said sadly: "No - don't do this, the world is so bad because there are too many obedient people. If you are so obedient, if Master is a bad person, you are a bad person." Mu Muchi scratched his head and said, "But I know Master is a chivalrous man—a chivalrous man, a great chivalrous man." Lin Shanshi said: "Warriors? There are slaves everywhere, and knights may just die faster." Wood Chi said: "It doesn't matter if it's fast or not, I too——I want to be a knight." Lin Shanshi looked up to the sky with a long smile: "Okay, just for the sake of being a hero, we two fight together. Why do men practice martial arts day and night? Just to do justice for the sky. When we go out later, we will stand at the checkpoint. I stand In the channel of the checkpoint, you stand outside the channel. If there are people who are short of food, you will let them in one by one. If there is a beast that grabs food, you will shout loudly and kill him as a teacher. We have cultivated such a high The city wall is just like the Great Wall built by the ancestors, to protect our food. Thousands of troops can only come one by one, and if they want food, they can only grow it by sweating.” Mu Muchi said with a look of admiration: "Master, have you-have you ever seen the Great Wall?" Lin Shanshi straightened his chest and said, "No." Mu Mu said: "Okay, this is the Great Wall. Anyone who dares to grab food, I will kill you with a brick. I will immediately go down the mountain to tell the good news—to the villagers." Lin Shanshi shook his head and said: "No need. They will know about this kind of thing immediately. Just open the door of this warehouse a little bit." Lin Shanshi and Mu Muchi set up two tents at the checkpoint, with the apprentice in front and the master behind, and they fell asleep slowly with their backs against the city wall.After a while hearing the rat's squeak, Mu Mu wanted to get up and eat it, Lin Shanshi said: "Don't touch them, let the rats eat a little too, if they can survive, humans will naturally survive." After a moment, they A group of hungry and thin mice were found and they rushed up the mountain.After another moment, several villagers who followed the mouse to find food also walked up the mountain.Lin Shanshi let go one by one, and the villagers couldn't move when they saw the compartment of the granary.He sneakily grabbed a handful and put it in his mouth, then wept bitterly.The golden color of this rice is like the golden light sprinkled by the Bodhisattva.An hour later, the mountains and plains were full of hungry people. Lin Shanshi said: "Wood idiot, you see. If you don't kill the mice, people will come. If the mice can still live, people are better than the mice. If there are no people, there is no need to be afraid of natural disasters." A group of hungry people came to the checkpoint of the city wall and tremblingly said to Lin Shanshi: "Hero Lin, is there any food here?" Lin Shanshi said: "There is food, take it as you like. It's just that the checkpoint is narrow, and you can't take too much at a time." An old man asked, "Whose food is this?" Lin Shanshi stepped aside and said, "Come in and get the food from the government." But everyone stands still.After a long while, only a few of them dared to go in to get food because they were always reckless and very hungry.Most of the rest, actually sighed, turned and left.One of them fainted from hunger on the spot, and continued to climb down the mountain after being woken up by the light rain. Lin Shanshi was shocked, no wonder there are so many liars above, it turns out that the bottom are all fools.I was almost starved to death, so I didn't dare to take things from the government, and it was still from the "former government", so what's the matter?Lin Shanshi suddenly understood why the imperial court imposed military bans, curfews, road bans, and sea bans, and built prisons to lock up those restless people.Because only the rest are fools, liars can lie at ease. Lin Shanshi roared loudly: "This food is all my own, in order to become a Buddha after death, I donate it to everyone to eat." The gangsters frowned, and when they heard the words, they all turned around and rushed over, the order was in chaos.The one with two weak points was trampled to death by the hungry people on the spot.Mu Chi wanted to save him but it was too late.The fellow villagers who were so cowardly just now became very brave when they heard that this was not official food.Lin Shanshi blocked the checkpoint, cursing: "Your mother, the old man is at the front, followed by the children and skinny people, young and strong, get away, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. Come one by one, there is enough food, take whatever you want." Having said that, there are still a few young people who are not afraid of death and are very hungry, rushing forward, with green eyes.Lin Shanshi sneered, a few "neck killers" were thrown down immediately and a few more.The team became tidy.But it didn't take long before it became chaotic again.Both grace and power are useless.Just when she didn't know what to do, Ruan Rumei came up, and it turned out that no one was listening to books in her husband's academy, and the officials were changing around like a lantern, and no one invited a teacher for the child.Mr. Ruan also ran out of food. Hearing that there was food distribution, he followed the hungry people here. Lin Shanshi grabbed Mr.'s hand, stood up and said, "Mr. is here? As long as Mr. is here. What do you think about this?" Ruan Rumei's face became thinner, but she still didn't change her demeanor, she just laughed and scolded: "This is easy to handle—damn, if I knew that fighting is so hard, I wouldn't be looking forward to fighting every day. If I had known you have so many Grain, I don’t have to eat bark for two days.” Ruan Rumei suddenly turned around and hit an old man with a whip. The old man twitched and fell to the ground. The whole team fell silent because the blow was too harsh.Ruan Rumei shouted: "Everyone line up! Whoever is obedient takes two bags of rice, and the disobedient is only allowed to take one bag of rice. The first one who dares to be disobedient is not allowed to take the rice." stand up.Ruan Rumei walked in official steps, walked in front of a fairly strong man, and slapped him twice. The man covered his face in shock and dared not answer. Ruan Rumei said: "Didn't you hear what Lin Daxia said? The thin ones are in the front and the strong ones are in the back. You have three people in front of you. What are you looking at? Are you not convinced? Get out of here if you don't. Even your nine clans are not allowed to receive food Even if you die, you won’t be able to enter the genealogy.” The man quickly knelt down. Ruan Rumei turned her head and said: "Lin Shanshi. I've done it for you. I'll go get the food first, and the old men in this team won't line up. If you don't have any privileges, it will affect your prestige." Lin Shanshi saw that the line was neat and tidy, and the younger one consciously stood in the back. He admired him very much, and said, "Mr. Ruan is Mr. Ruan—what kind of trick is this?" Ruan Rumei smiled and said: "Come here with your ears - beating the old and strong men is to make them fear; the amount of food distribution is to make them greedy. As long as the people are fearful and greedy, people will be easy to manage. It's nothing, a few thousand It's just a herdsman's skill for a long time." A few hours later, the whole city of Zhangzhou was boiling with more and more people.Zhou Tuozi came over in a hurry, opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "It's true, I'm really blind. I spend every day in the granary but I don't know there is such a big interlayer." Lin Shanshi said: "Knowing the secret requires a rank, and your rank is too low—in fact, officials of high grade know it, but they can't find the specific place, and they can't open the bronze door." Zhou Tuozi wondered: "You just divided up the food like this? This—" Zhou Tuozi lowered his voice: "Did you receive a secret order from the capital?" Lin Shanshi pointed to his heart and said, "It's the secret decree here." Zhou Tuozi's face twitched twice, he gave a thumbs up and said, "So I was convinced by you, but now I am convinced. You are lawless and can accomplish great things. Okay, let me help you." After finishing speaking, he helped Mu Mu Chi and Mr. Ruan maintain the team. At dusk, a fast horse suddenly broke through the team of hungry people and rushed straight to the front of the checkpoint.The fat officer came to pay his respects immediately: "Is Hero Lin here? The last general, Ma Laoliu, used to be the emperor of King Jingnan, but now he is the Governor of Zhangzhou. Since the grain is in Bamin, why didn't it report to the palace?" Seeing that the words were elegant, Lin Shanshi asked Mr. Ruan in a low voice: "The emperor? Governor?" Mr. Ruan said: "He drove the carriage for the prince, and now he is the magistrate. Hehe, generals who have never read books like to talk about the art of war, and officials who have no education like to pretend to be elegant." Lin Shanshi said: "Oh!" Then he cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to the magistrate. This year, natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused many people to starve to death. Seeing that there is no hope for this autumn harvest, I suddenly remembered that there is still food in the granary, so I decided to divide it myself." Ma Laoliu turned around a few times on the horse, and said with a smile, "Hero Lin, let's stop here. This granary has been taken over by Jingnan Prince's Mansion. Let's pretend that today's incident never happened, how about it? You can go home." Lin Shanshi sighed and said, "If you accept my granary, it will be made into military rations in no time. The people in this city will still not be able to survive." Ma Laoliu said softly: "Hero Lin, you have to trust the government! King Jingnan loves the people like his son, and the government also loves the people like his son." Lin Shanshi said: "Since you love the people like a child, then allow me to distribute food to the hungry people, why should I take it back?" Ma Laoliu's expression changed, and he said: "Hero Lin, don't go too far. I believe that you are a relative of the prince. We will give you whatever you want these days. Have you ever felt sorry for you and your family?" Lin Shanshi said: "No." Ma Laoliu said: "So you have to be grateful. If a real man doesn't know how to be grateful, he's worse than a pig or a dog." Lin Shanshi held the iron rod in his hand and did not speak. He rubbed it for a while and said, "My lord, I have never read a book. But I know that food is the most important thing for the people, and I also know that most people in the government want to eat first. Regardless of What to eat, food and grass are planted by the villagers hard, if you want to say gratitude, you should also thank the villagers for their kindness?" Ma Laoliu said angrily: "What kind of talk is this! Do you want to be a man of the Qing Dynasty?" Lin Shanshi smiled and turned his head away. Ma Laoliu said: "Lin Shanshi, have you been bewitched by that guy Zheng Jing from Taiwan!" "Lin Shanshi was at a loss. He didn't know what relationship he had with Zheng Jing, but he understood that the people in the yamen's level of nonsense was not inferior to Mr. Ruan's, so he didn't want to argue immediately. He just felt that Zheng Jing, Tiandihui, King Jingnan, aren't they all allies against the Qing Dynasty? The internal suspicion of attacks is so high, the San Francisco will be defeated." Lin Shanshi said: "You can accuse yourself of whatever crime you like. It doesn't matter whether you have colluded with foreign vassals or cleared up the remnants of the previous crimes. Anyway, you made the hats yourself, so it doesn't matter to me." Ma Laoliu was furious. He didn't expect that such a powerful official would not show face when he came here. He yelled strangely: "Hero Lin, you have to think clearly who owns Zhangzhou City now. To put it bluntly, you are a distant relative of King Jingnan. Now your The son-in-law is still not helping his brother. But I am also King Jingnan's personal assistant, and the personal servants are all people around me. It's just to save face, why am I really afraid of you?" Lin Shanshi said disdainfully: "It has nothing to do with these messes. In short, the food is only given to the victims. Others are not allowed to enter-you are Bi Mawen, you are the Monkey King, it has nothing to do with me." Ma Laoliu laughed angrily, and said: "Bi Mawen? You actually look down on me, do you know that there are eight county magistrates in Fujian who all came from driving cars? I never knew Fujian since I was driving horses in Gengwangzhuang. Is there any place where you can't go in! See the forehead of this horse? The purple circle on the top is a mark that only the horses of Jingnan Prince's Mansion have. If you step on seedlings, you can kick people, the county magistrate has to wait at the border, and even the magistrate has to give way." Lin Shanshi looked at the narrow checkpoint, looked at the starving people outside with frightened eyes, and said: "I don't care if others let you go. Here, anyone who is not a hungry person but trespasses will die!" Ma Laoliu looked around and saw his own people all around him.One is that he feels that there is no way out, and the other is that he never thought that the master of Gengwangzhuang would have a way out.Immediately, evil came to his side and said loudly: "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude." He urged the horse and rushed towards the checkpoint. This man is very good at riding, and even played with a horse in a small ravine Stepping on the flying swallow scared a little girl who hid slowly in front of her and cried.Lin Shanshi had never seen such a trick before, he thought to himself: Since this person was born in the army, he must have experienced many battles, so he should not be underestimated.So he used all his strength and flew a stick to stab him. Who would have thought that Ma Lao Liu could only do all his kung fu on horseback riding, and he couldn't do any punching or kicking.The so-called background in the army, the official worship of Dutong, most of the people in the robes knew his relationship with King Jingnan and deliberately let him go.It is said that even the opera singers raised by King Jingnan, who are good at singing in Huangmei opera and good at dressing up as women, have also managed to participate in the leadership. The horse, which is used to being arrogant, naturally rushed fast, and Lin Shanshi's skill was stronger than the iron rod.There is no reason for Ma Laoliu to live anymore.A hole was poked out on the forehead with a stick, and the blood spread all over the edge of the hole, turning into a purple circle.Be it Ma or Ma Lao Liu, puzzlement and fear hang on their faces. Lin Shanshi held the stick and thought obsessively: to use the opponent's force to charge forward, just a light touch will have infinite power.This is probably where the distinction between internal boxing and external boxing lies. The courageous people applauded, and an old man took off his clothes and cried: "One time when I was selling eggs on the street, I was kicked to the ground by the magistrate's horse. I wanted to sell hundreds of eggs. Later, I changed the medicine for my mother-in-law, but it was all broken. Woo-woo-the old man also broke three ribs by his men, saying that I was in the way of the horse." One person shouted: "Folks, quickly bury the people and eat the horses. Don't tell anyone that the magistrate was killed by Hero Lin." Another person said: "You should go around and spread the word, Lin Daxia acted chivalrously and killed the cruel dog official." Several men rushed over, each spitting on the corpse. Lin Shanshi stopped him and said, "Bury it. Death is the most important thing. No matter what you did in life, the deceased is innocent—besides, maybe he has his difficulties." Ruan Rumei applauded, and said: "Well said—in fact, it is not easy for many officials, and the more dog officials, the harder their lives. Don't look at them bullying others. After many years of daughter-in-law, of course they will turn around. Bullying the daughter-in-law. This is a painful need. It is necessary to lick the wound in this way to heal the wounds suffered by the daughter-in-law for many years. An official like him who takes pleasure in abusing others, I really don’t know how many times he was abused in the palace .” After working until midnight, no one came to beg for food.There is a full full moon in the sky. Lin Shanshi said: "I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but today is really comfortable." Ruan Rumei, who was full, said with bright eyes: "Tomorrow, King Geng will send generals to suppress the bandits." Lin Shanshi said: "Bandits? I am a bandit? They are the bandits!" Ruan Rumei said: "If you can't win the country but robbed the granary, what is it if it's not a bandit?" Lin Shanshi said: "Hehe, don't mind him. This place is dangerous, and there are thousands of troops, and you can only come one by one at the checkpoint. If you say I am a bandit, then I will show them once." Ruan Rumei rolled her eyes and said, "Would you like to compete in the Central Plains?" Lin Shanshi said: "Mr. Ruan, I like fishing and never hunt." Ruan Rumei blushed and said excitedly: "I'm talking about fighting for the world - use this granary to win people's hearts like today, and pull up a team. First be the bandits, then gather the victims, and then fight the country. I will be you Military division, regardless of success or failure, will be vigorous. As long as there is an army in hand, it doesn’t matter if you crack the soil and seal the border, or recruit and surrender. You can always make a name in history and seal your wife and son.” Lin Shanshi was frightened, and thought to himself that he was afraid that the great kings of all ages started their careers like this.Lin Shanshi shook his head and said, "Don't you think there are not enough evildoers in this world? Crack the soil and seal the border, how much can you eat alive, and how much space can you bury after death?" Ruan Rumei stared at Lin Shanshi for a long time, and sighed: "Then I will go down the mountain tomorrow. Brother Lin, take care. The granary is the lifeblood of all those in power. Don't imagine that anyone will spare you, and don't imagine How long will the people you save remember you. You don’t read, so you have a conscience. If I were you, I would definitely not be as chivalrous and upright as you.” Lin Shanshi said: "What a chivalrous and upright person. I just want to live in peace." After finishing speaking, he put a quilt on Mu Muzhi who was asleep and snoring. Two days later, more than a dozen men in black rode to the front of the mountain.Each horse has a purple circle on its forehead. Wood shrugged his shoulders, picked up the stick, and shouted excitedly.The men in black drew their bows and arrows together.Lin Shanshi had fought in battle and knew how powerful he was, so he squatted behind the wall and yelled, "Wood be careful." Mu Mu said with a silly smile: "Master, look at my lightness kung fu." After saying that, he jumped up, and he became a living target in mid-air.The cold arrows made a cold beeping sound, and two arrows pierced through Mu Chi's body.Blood immediately blossomed in the air, like bright red fireworks.Wood Chi didn't have time to speak, his body fell down like a kite with a broken string. Lin Shanshi screamed terribly: "Wood—" Before he finished speaking, the man in black fired another row of arrows at the hungry people queuing up to fetch rice.At this moment, Lin Shanshi flew out of the checkpoint.Kill people when you see people, kill horses when you see horses.These ten or so people in black are cruel and ruthless, but none of them are martial arts masters. Horseback riding and archery are their strengths, so how can they be opponents of Lin Shanshi in close combat, let alone such a murderous god in the world, four of them fell down in an instant, the others He turned around and fled.Lin Shanshi was about to follow up, after all he had been on the battlefield, he suddenly remembered something and looked back.Sure enough, he saw a man walking towards the checkpoint while Lin Shanshi was away.Lin Shanshi knew very well that as long as the checkpoint was lost, King Geng's men could seal the place with a strong crossbow, and send a large army to support it, and the granary would be considered lost. Lin Shanshi held back his fury and flew back, trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain, Geng Jingzhong really hit him hard.In a hurry, I saw the master sent by the Geng Mansion being stopped outside the checkpoint, Zhou Tuozi!It was Zhou Tuozi who got stuck there. The man from Gengwangzhuang is also a martial artist, he is short and strong, it can be seen that his hand posture is from practicing ground punching, and he is seen crawling around on the ground, his feet are very tricky.Ben wiped off Zhou Tuozi's sweat, but found that his gossip punch was extremely methodical.Compared with him in the ancient granary, he was a different person when he competed with him. It turned out that this "grandmaster" who lost to him in three or two moves was so powerful.Lin Shanshi felt a chill, with his dragon-like footwork, it seemed that he didn't have the need to please a granary instructor.You must know that "teaching boxing does not teach walking, teaching walking beats the master", there are many people who can punch and kick, and those who can integrate footwork are first-class masters in any school.This person is willing to be a small coach, and he doesn't have a granary establishment yet. He is the lowest paid class, and he has no use in it except flattery.What is this for? The masters of the Geng family are also very powerful, plus they are short and thick, and they are in a class of their own in fast in and fast out.Lin Shanshi jumped over to help.Seeing Lin Shanshi's return, Geng's master quickly threw two darts, taking advantage of Lin and Zhou's avoidance, he fled quickly, and his movements were extremely fast. Zhou Tuozi stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Lin, I have been hiding something from you. It is because people's hearts are unpredictable and you have a complicated background. Seeing that you have killed so many rebellious people, you have asked your superiors for instructions. I dared to do this today." Let’s be blunt. In the next week, Aihan belongs to the Thirteenth Yamen. He is Qian Gong’an’s eyeliner in the ancient granary, and he is also the emperor’s eagle dog. You are right, this granary cannot be left to the Jingnan Palace.” Lin Shanshi's eyes were gloomy, he ignored Zhou Tuozi, picked up his apprentice's body and said, "If only people in this world were as simple and kind as you, it would be great. Zhou Tuozi, what are you doing in the granary?" Zhou Tuozi proudly said: "The important affairs of the country are in the army and in the sacrifices. In fact, whether it is fighting or offering sacrifices, the cornerstone is the grain and grass. The granary is the real important place. It is not surprising that we are there, and it is strange without us. To be honest, the Thirteen Yamen There are people from all over the place, all military ministers, and fortress hubs have our people. No matter whether you study literature or martial arts, we will monitor people with a little ability, such as your friend Ruan Rumei, his good days are not many - of course The government is strictly controlled, and we are not particularly strong. If we were in the previous dynasty, our heads would be nine thousand years old." Lin Shanshi looked at Mu Mu madly, his heart was ashamed, he just listened indifferently.I always feel that this person's triumph is insidious and wretched, and I don't want to talk to him at all. Zhou Tuozi patted the dust on his body, and suddenly said with a serious face: "The imperial decree has arrived! Lin Shanshi accepts the decree!" Lin Shanshi hugged the wood, sat on the ground and didn't get up. Zhou Tuozi coughed twice, and said in a drawn out voice, "The imperial decree has arrived! Lin Shanshi accepts the decree!" Lin Shanshi still didn't move. Zhou Tuozi said: "Hero Lin. People cannot be resurrected after death. I will use my thread to seal the title of 'Loyal Warrior' to Brother Mutou. It's important. You should kneel down and accept the order." Lin Shanshi cast a sideways glance and said, "It's inconvenient to kneel down while holding a child, so just speak up if you have something to say." Zhou Tuozi was stunned, staring at Lin Shanshi for a long time, and still read: "By God, the emperor said: Lin Shanshi, the head teacher, is loyal and brave, and has made great contributions in protecting food. He also saved several people in Xianglan Banner from fire and water, and died in an occupied area. Without losing integrity, there is the awe-inspiring style of Su Wu. Specially carried the Zhenghuang Banner, and rewarded the sixth-rank Xuanfu Envoy Siqian. Specially ordered to assist Zhou Aihan, the general manager of the thirteenth yamen, to burn the remaining grain of the ancient one granary quickly, so as not to fall into the bandits Hands. Go northward quickly, and you will be rewarded if you succeed. This!" Lin Shanshi was furious in his heart: Burning the granary, what a joke, didn't the idiot die in vain? Zhou Tuozi clicked his tongue and said, "Sixth grade, the same grade as me. Master Lin, you have reached the sky in one step." Lin Shanshi sneered, "Fart." Zhou Tuozi also sneered: "Don't have too much appetite, this official is not young. I have climbed from the seventh-rank general to today's door thousand, and I have climbed for twelve years-this is already considered young, promising and cautious. You also saw how well my brother lurks in the granary." Lin Shanshi nodded and said: "Rank 6 has many benefits. As long as you don't stand in the wrong team, everyone will be well-clothed and well-fed. I'm not talking about you farting, but the imperial decree. Burning the granary, what about the starving people?" Zhou Tuozi's face was ashen, and tremblingly said: "What are you talking about? How dare you say that the emperor is farting! You are a big treason." 林山石放下木头痴，随口淡淡地道：“周大人不该叫周爱汉啊，叫周爱满才对。烧粮仓没有可能，那追封的什么勇士，也不用了。” 周驼子拿出一块打火石来：“林山石你可想清楚，为了万岁爷，为了自己的前程，我周驼子可什么都做得出来。” 林山石平静道：“你先出手吧。这次你不用让我了，我也不会让你。恭喜你作为一个武者，可以不看人脸色打一场了。” 周驼子突然扔出两只回旋镖，林山堪堪躲过，周驼子便近身过来。 周驼子滑，林山石狠。千招之后，周驼子咽喉才终于被林山石掌根切中，躺在了地上。林山石也中了几掌，吐出一口淤血。心想：若不是在江西打了一仗，悟出自己的拳理，我断不是此人对手。此等功夫，却此等谄媚，真为他师父遗憾。 林山石看了一眼周驼子的尸首，只有武者才明白武者的分量。此等强悍的八卦拳，要吃多少的苦才能换来？扬扬手让饥民把他和几个耿王派来的黑衣人埋了，又亲自在周驼子身后的石头上刻了几个字：正六品周爱汉之墓。想了想后，又按照粮仓时听到的官场规矩加了一行字：正六品周爱汉之墓，享受从五品俸禄。林山石心道：高手，这样你该满足了吧。 林山石抱着木头痴的尸体，轻轻的抚摸着。当年磕头苦求练武、无钱交束修被师娘白眼、练武时的愚笨可笑、师父落难时的不离不弃、守卫粮仓的义无反顾、晚上的打鼾……一幕幕浮现起来，都似昨日一般。林山石终于放声痛哭出声来。 饥民走上前，似乎不怎么在意木头痴的死去，只是窃窃地道：“大侠，可以进去取粮吗？” 又一日，结拜兄弟白栾走上关卡。 白栾一脸怒气道：“林兄，你不够义气！这么多粮食都不交给天地会，会里好多弟兄都在饿肚子啊。” 林山石倚着关卡道：“你也是来要粮仓的吧。那就别废话了。拔剑吧。” 白栾换了笑脸道：“兄弟一定要这样吗？你知不知前线十分紧张，我们汉军打得很苦。由于缺粮，打了几个败战了，你就没有点气节吗？而且耿精忠正在挑选顶级高手，可能是吴三桂帐下新来的万人敌赖天德，说实话，天地会无人是他的对手。我们万大龙头在吴三桂前保你，才派我来想想办法，看能否免动干戈；我还听说，清廷对你也很不满意，既不喜欢你私分粮食，又怕你守不住粮仓，也会派大内高手过来刺杀你。我看你是凶多吉少，好在你是天地会的人，若是交出……” 林山石虎目圆睁：“拔剑！” 白栾打了一个寒战，道：“君子剑之所以叫君子剑，就是因为从不对着兄弟拔剑。再说白某是军师，早已不干这打打杀杀的活。”白栾拿出羽毛扇挥了挥。“林兄你往右前看看。如今做大事的，要靠脑子。” 林山石站起一眺，却看见陈近南等几个天地会的兄弟，押着一个女人站在悬崖上，竟是自己的婆姨袁氏。陈近南面有愧色，但其他的兄弟却嬉笑着盯着袁氏的胸看。 林山石怒道：“江湖规矩，祸不及妻儿。你这样做，不怕遗笑天下吗？” 白栾道：“林兄，这粮是军粮，截军粮就谈不上江湖规矩了，战场从不把人当人。你该是知道的。” 林山石哈哈笑道：“实话同你讲吧。这女人我早就不想要了。这是我休掉了的婆姨。” 白栾道：“知道。我看见了休书。” 林山石道：“那你还带来干什么？” 白栾道：“但我不信。你当我是稚子小儿吗？我们走私盐时，从来都先写一封休书。等这一单没事了，才把休书撕掉。这叫不连累家人，你这一手是关公面前耍大刀。” 林山石咬咬牙道：“你想怎么样？” 白栾道：“很简单，关卡换婆姨。很公平。” 林山石咬牙切齿。一边是自己的婆姨，一边是数万百姓的生死。这种权衡，十分痛苦。 白栾道：“数三声。若不行，你这婆姨可就没了。林山石，这可是与你同患难的女人啊。一、二、三。”白栾就要挥手。林山石道：“慢！我换了！” 白栾笑得很甜：“这才叫兄弟嘛。你当兄弟这么好做？” 林山石慢慢向关卡外走着，一边挪动，一边怒骂道：“你这算什么兄弟？你这叫赚兄弟！” 白栾道：“这就叫智谋，成大事者不拘小节。你也该看过《水浒》吧，多少兄弟也都是吴用赚来的。” 林山石语塞，若智谋和卑鄙同义，要智谋何用？就要踏出关卡，猛地看见了木头痴在关卡前搭的篷子，两脚如钉子般怔住了。 白栾见只差一步，怕他后悔，赶忙将林山石往前一拉。林山石练武成痴，无意间便出手反击。远处天地会的人见这边打起来了，赶忙把袁氏往悬崖下一推。林山石远远看见，袁氏本来是条线，然后只剩下一个白点，然后就不见了——陈近南走在悬崖处弯着腰，好似查看死还是未死。 林山石熟悉这儿的一草一木，知道那处绝壁有百丈之深，掉下去绝无生还可能。脑袋顿时就炸了，狂叫一声向白栾逼去。 白栾拔出剑来，舞出圆形的剑花。林山石竟不管不顾，空着手就往剑花深处闯去。每招每式都是攻其要害，剑到了自己胸前，也不退缩。这完全是以命换命的打法。 几招过后，白栾就慌了，心里骂道疯子，忙后跃一步。想依仗着剑的长度与林山石拉开距离，再徐徐退到悬崖边上，以求天地会的帮手。谁知林山石竟以手挡剑，故意让剑嵌在自己左手骨头缝里，就靠着以肉镶剑的一刻，猱身而上，一招标月指点白栾的印堂穴，再一招凤眼拳结束了白栾的性命。 林山石大号，一边哭着，一边对着白栾的尸首一阵连环冲拳。这是他第一次污辱死人。 林山石慢慢地往悬崖走去，每一步都似千钧之重，手臂挡剑入骨三分的疼痛反而不算什么，心像是被锥子密密麻麻钻着。终于悔惧交加地踱到了悬崖边，顿时涌起一种生命重生的狂喜。只见陈近南正一手用一根绸缎拉住悬崖下的袁氏，一只手跟天地会两个弟兄搏斗。林山石忙救起袁氏，转身只几招便赶跑了天地会的围攻者。 林山石向陈近南跪下道：“陈小兄弟，受我一拜。这大恩大德没齿难忘。你身在天地会，不怕得罪天地会，舍身救拙荆。实在不知怎么报答才好。” 陈近南低着头让开道：“林大侠万莫这样。这次本就是天地会不对。再正义的事若到了欺人妇孺的份上，也就谈不上正义了。我是天地会的人不假，但首先得是个人。” 林山石拉起袁氏的手，道：“陈小兄弟，你去占了关卡吧，这样万云龙也不会再怪你。这多日里百姓也拿走了不少粮，能够撑一阵子，我也不欠他们的了，我就欠这个婆姨的。” 袁氏伏在肩膀上大哭。 陈近南望着无人把守的关卡，犹豫了一会儿道：“听说粮食够天地会兄弟吃一年——但是林大侠，你看小我陈近南了，我如今是武艺低微，但绝不乘人之危。我要的江山靠自己双手去打，岂能做个市侩的小人——你不忍心黎民饿死，我陈近南自然也不去夺百姓的口粮！无论怎样伟大的借口。” 林山石仰头泪下，道：“我授你一段口诀，你好好记住了——无形无相，守中用中，以石击卵，电光火石。防守时，身分四门，攻击时以锐入穴，多击首脑。首脑大穴有百会、印堂、人中、哑门……兵无常形，水无常态，练招而不拘泥。这一百来字，你背下了吗？” 陈近南天资聪慧，道：“都记住了，但还不会用。” 林山石道：“先记住口诀，会不会用那都是喂手喂出来的，战场上磨出来的。你肯定不缺仗打，功夫会提高很快。我这口诀可以配任何招式。以后无论你练哪门哪派，攻防要旨都该是想通的，因为人体是想通的。” 陈近南眼放亮光，跪拜离开。 林山石搂过袁氏道：“我再也不让你离开了，你就住在粮仓。守得住就守，守不住我们就走。我会钓鱼、会做篾匠，找块有水的地方，就怎么也饿不死。” 袁氏点了点头，道：“一个女人，有你这句话就足够了。当家的，你拼命守着这个粮仓吧，免得一生不安。男人和女人不同，总是要几场像样的战斗的，累了就回家。” 林山石道：“回草鱼巷？” 袁氏道：“你觉得草鱼巷才是家吗？错了，有我的地方才是家——对了，当家的。肥猪康有没有上山来讨粮食？” 林山石道：“没有，他不好意思吧——他家也该缺粮了，算了，过几日托乡亲给他送袋米去吧。” 几日后，乡亲把该送给肥猪康的米拿了回来。林山石火冒三丈道：“怎么了？他还敢摆架子不要？” 老乡得意洋洋道：“不是的，我送到他家时，就闻到一股臭味。你猜怎么的？” 林山石偏偏不问，低着头揉了揉受伤的手臂。 老乡着急道：“你怎么都不问一句了？你不问，我就不说——你猜怎么着，他和他爹他娘都饿死了，身子都僵硬了。” 林山石闻言痴痴地站直了身子，突然扇了自己几个响亮的耳光。饭也没有胃口吃了，跑到木头痴的墓前，打起白鹤拳来。一会儿他就看见木头痴、鬼脚猴在梅花桩上练鹤祖三战，女儿从闺房里一招白鹤绕竹跳了下来，抓住肥猪康两堆肉揉起面团来…… 斜日照红了半壁青山，林山石靠着墙壁，觉得彻骨的寂寞。 若自己不来守这个粮仓，若不回师门比武，若不躲那场大雨，若不向往那片江湖，是不是木头痴、肥猪康都可以不死？但人活着哪有那个“若”字？ 一生负气成今日，四海无人对夕阳。 忽闻远处有箫声，一个同样落寞的汉子拿着竹箫朝他缓缓走来。箫声动听，催人泪下。 林山石任泪水流淌着，闭着眼道：“阁下又是一个来取我性命的吧？” 那汉子点点头，道：“没错，平西王府赖天德前来刺君。说起来，我还在京城教过贵千金几日功夫。她可真是聪明伶俐。”话罢，坐在地上，递给林山石一壶酒。 林山石不知为何，就是觉得此人可以信赖，接过酒一饮而尽，道：“刚才关卡无人，你为何不去占了？” 赖天德道：“此事不急？” 林山石道：“这么有把握？你未必打得我啊，我也很强的，而且越来越强。” 赖天德道：“打架的事谈不上把握，但赢不了是学艺不精，若使卑鄙手段，纵使赢了也不是男儿。这是我想要的江湖。” 林山石道：“好。若不急，等喝完酒再拼命。” 两人你一口我一口喝了半宿。 赖天德抢了过来，倒过酒囊，道：“这次真没酒了。” 林山石站起道：“好。只是先生能再吹一段刚才那箫吗？” 赖天德道：“当然可以。”又把箫吹过一遍，林山石像好朋友一样附和着节拍。和完后，两人眼神一撞，便开打了。十几招过后，林山石开始处于下风，两人都暗暗称奇，赖天德心想：此人的拳法该是少林白鹤，可使出来又完全不同，完全没有虚架子，好似有一套区别于所有功夫的独特心法，自成一派。林山石心想：此人气力竟这般大，攻势这般凌厉，尤其是肘法，简直无法近身，纵使有天赋异禀，怕是年少时也要打倒几百棵大树，否则到不了这水准。若我的手臂不伤，还有得一拼，现在看来，我命休矣。 赖天德却先收手了，道：“你的左臂有伤，几次明明有了机会，却躲到一边。我这有些云南最好的金疮药，是白族人的圣药。你先养好伤。七日后，我再过来比试。” 林山石正觉吃力，接过药道：“你就不怕我逃走，或者怕我伤好了，到时你打不过我？” 赖天德道：“你不会逃走，我也不怕打不过你。因为到了你我这一水准的人都知道，最易得的是虚名，最难得的是对手。”
