"The Yue girl gathers lotus by the autumn water, her narrow sleeves are light, revealing her double golden bracelets. Picking up the flowers in the photo, the flowers are like faces, and the hearts of the hearts are only strife. The wind and waves at the head of Jichixi River are late, the fog is heavy and the smoke is light, and the companions are not seen. The faint singing returns to Zhaoyuan, and the sorrow of departure leads to the south bank of the river. " A soft and melodious singing sound floated on the smoky lake.The singing came from a small boat, and five girls in the boat laughed and sang together, rowing to pick lotus.The song they sang was "Butterfly Loves Flowers" written by Ouyang Xiu, a great poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. Clothes, jewelry, and mood are all described vividly, and the second half of the column is even more narrative in the description of the scene, and the narration is lyrical, from near to far, with endless meaning.Ouyang Xiu has been an official in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and his tenderness and sweetness are all integrated into long and short sentences.The people of Song Dynasty, no matter the dignitaries or the small people in the alleys, all enjoyed their libretto. As soon as Liu Yong's new words came out, they would be sung wherever there was a well. When willows were folded on the banks of the south of the Yangtze River and lotuses were picked in the autumn lake, they were often accompanied by Ou word.

It was located in Nanhu Lake, Jiaxing during the reign of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty.The Mid-Autumn festival is approaching, the lotus leaves are gradually dying, and the lotus flesh is full and firm.This burst of singing reached the ears of a Taoist nun by the lake.She had been standing quietly under a row of willow trees for a long time, and the evening wind was blowing the hem of her apricot-yellow Taoist robe, and the thousands of soft silks from the whisk inserted in her neck, and her thoughts were ups and downs. .I could only hear the singing gradually fade away, and it was Ouyang Xiu's other song "Butterfly Love Flower". A gust of wind blew in, and faintly sent two sentences: "The wind and the moon have no lover, and the old travel is like a dream..." The singing just started After a break, there was a giggle.

The nun let out a long sigh, raised her left hand, looked at the blood-stained palm, and muttered to herself: "What's so funny about that? Xiao Nizi just sang nonsense, and couldn't understand the pain and melancholy of lovesickness in the lyrics." Ten feet behind the Taoist nun, an old man in green robes and long beard also stood quietly, only when the two sentences "The wind and the moon are ruthless, the lover is secretly changed, the old journey is like a dream, the empty heart is broken" made a loud cry. Sigh very lightly.
The boat glides across the blue-glazed lake. Among the five girls in the boat, three are about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other two are only nine years old.The two young girls are relatives. The cousin's surname is Cheng, with a single English character, and the cousin's surname is Lu, and her name is Wushuang.The two are half an age apart.

Three older girls sang songs and swung the boat out of the lotus leaves.Cheng Ying said: "Look, cousin, this old uncle is still here." He pointed to a person under the weeping willow. The man has messy hair, and his beard is fluffy and fluffy like a hedgehog. His beard is shiny and black. He is said to be young, but his face is wrinkled and sunken. He looks like an old man in his seventies or eighties. Hanging a baby's brocade bib, embroidered with a picture of a cat fluttering butterflies, is old and tattered. Lu Wushuang said: "This strange man has been sitting here for a long time, why doesn't he move?" Cheng Ying said: "Don't call him a strange man, call him 'Old Uncle'. If you call him a strange man, he will be angry." Lu Wushuang He smiled and said, "Isn't he weird? He's so old, but he has a bib hanging around his head and neck. He's angry. It would look good if his beard turned up." Picking up a lotus pod from the small boat, Throw it on the man's head.

The distance between the boat and the strange guest was several zhang, although Lu Wushuang was young, his hands were not weak, and the throw was very accurate.Cheng Ying called out: "Cousin!" She wanted to stop it, but it was too late, and saw the lotus pod flying towards the face of the strange guest.The strange guest tilted his head, he had already bit the lotus pod, but he didn't reach out to take it, his tongue rolled up, he bit the lotus pod and began to chew.The five girls saw that he did not peel off the lotus seeds, and they were not afraid of the bitterness. They just devoured the lotus seeds. They looked at each other a few times, couldn't help giggling, and rowed towards the shore.

Cheng Ying walked up to the man, pulled his skirt, and said, "Old man, this is not tasty." He took out a lotus pod from the bag, split open the lotus pod, peeled off more than a dozen lotus seeds, and put the lotus seeds out of the bag. Tore off the green skin of the lotus seed, took out the bitter core of the lotus seed, and handed it to the stranger.The strange man chewed a few mouthfuls, but felt that the taste was fragrant and delicious, which was quite different from what he ate just now. He grinned at Cheng Ying and nodded.Cheng Ying peeled a few more lotus seeds and handed them to him.The strange man threw the lotus seeds into his mouth, chewed them for a while, looked up to the sky and said, "Come with me?" Then he strode westward.

Lu Wushuang pulled Cheng Ying's hand and said: "Cousin, let's go with him." The three female companions were timid and hurriedly said: "Go home quickly, don't go too far and provoke your mother to scold you." Lu Wushuang Pian Pianzui made a grimace, seeing the strange man walking so fast, he said, "You don't have to come." He let go of his cousin's hand and chased after him.Cheng Ying went out to play with her cousin, and couldn't leave her to go home, so she had to follow.Although the three female companions were several years older than them, they were all shy and timid, they only called out a few times, and saw the strange man and Cheng Lu walking into the mulberry bush one after another.

The strange man walked very fast. Seeing that Cheng and Lu couldn't keep up with their footsteps, he stopped and waited for a few times. Then he became impatient and turned around suddenly. With his long arms outstretched, he held the two girls Hold it under your armpit and fly away.The second daughter could only hear the wind rustling in her ears, and the stones and grass on the road kept moving in front of her eyes.Lu Wushuang became frightened and shouted: "Let me go, let me go!" The strange man ignored her, but walked even faster, Lu Wushuang raised his head, opened his mouth and bit the edge of his palm fiercely.The strange man's palm only knocked her teeth into a dull pain.Lu Wushuang had no choice but to loosen his teeth, and kept his mouth open, yelling desperately.Cheng Ying remained silent.

The strange man ran for a while and put the two of them down on the ground.The place is a cemetery.Cheng Ying's face turned pale with fright, but Lu Wushuang's face flushed red.Cheng Ying said: "Old man, we are going home, we won't play with you anymore!" The strange man stared at her without saying a word.Cheng Ying saw a sad, self-pity and self-harm expression in his eyes, and couldn't help feeling sympathetic, and said softly: "If no one plays with you, you can come to the lake again tomorrow , I’ll peel the lotus seeds for you to eat.” The strange guest sighed: “Yes, ten years, and no one has played with me for ten years.” Suddenly his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said viciously: “Where is He Yuanjun? where it goes?"

Seeing his sudden sternness, Cheng Ying was frightened and said in a low voice, "I... I... I don't know." The strange man grabbed her arm, shook her body a few times, and said in a low voice, "He Yuanjun What?" Cheng Ying was so frightened that he almost cried, tears rolled in his eyes, but they never fell.The strange man gritted his teeth and said: "Cry, cry! Why don't you cry? Huh, you were like this ten years ago. I forbid you to marry him. You said you were reluctant to leave me, but you must go with him No. You said that you are grateful for my kindness to you, and you are very sad to leave me, bah! They are all lies. If you are really sad, why don't you cry? "

He stared fiercely at Cheng Ying.Cheng Yingzao was so frightened that his face turned pale, but the tears never fell.The stranger shook her vigorously.Cheng Ying bit her lips with her teeth, and said in her heart: "I won't cry, I won't cry!" The strange man said, "Huh, you won't shed a tear for me, even a tear, what's the use of my life?" ?" Suddenly let Cheng Ying go, bent her legs, lowered her body, and slammed into a tombstone beside her, with a bang, she fainted immediately and fell to the ground. Lu Wushuang shouted: "Cousin, run away." He took Cheng Ying's hand and turned around to leave.Cheng Ying ran a few steps, and saw blood bubbling from the strange man's head, she couldn't bear it, and said: "Don't kill the old man, just go and see him." Lu Wushuang said: "If he is dead, will the ghost not change? Cheng Ying was taken aback. She was afraid that he would turn into a ghost, and that he would suddenly wake up and catch herself saying some weird and crazy things. But seeing his face covered in blood, she was really pitiful, so she comforted herself: "Isn't old man Ghost, I'm not afraid, he won't catch me again." He approached slowly step by step, and shouted, "Old man, are you in pain?" The Stranger groaned, but made no reply.Cheng Ying became more courageous, and took a handkerchief to hold the wound for him.But the force of his impact was really fierce, and his head was seriously injured. In a flash, a handkerchief was soaked in blood.She pressed the wound tightly with her left hand, and after a while, the blood stopped flowing.The strange man opened his eyes slightly, saw Cheng Ying sitting beside him, and sighed, "Why did you save me? Why don't you let me die." Cheng Ying was very happy to see him wake up, and said softly: " Does your head hurt?" The strange guest shook his head, and said sadly, "It doesn't hurt on the head, but it hurts in the heart." Cheng Ying heard this strangely, and thought to herself: "How come there is such a big piece on the head, but there is no pain on the head?" Pain in heart?" Without asking any further questions, he took off his belt and bandaged his wound. The strange guest sighed, stood up, and said: "You will never see me again, so we broke up like this? Are you unwilling to shed a single tear for me?" Cheng Ying was very sad when he heard his words , Seeing his ugly face again, although blood-stained and very frightening, his eyes were full of pleading, he couldn't help but feel sore, two tears welled up in his eyes.Seeing her tears, the strange man had a look of joy and sorrow on his face, and cried out with a wow. Seeing him crying bitterly, Cheng Ying's own tears rolled down her cheeks like broken strings of pearls, she gently stretched out her hands and hugged his neck.Lu Wushuang saw the two of them hugging each other and crying bitterly for no reason, a smile came from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't bear it anymore, he laughed loudly. Hearing the laughter, the strange man looked up to the sky and sighed: "Yes, he said he would never leave me. When he got old, he forgot all the past words, and only remembered this new acquaintance with a pretty face. You laughed so sweetly." I'm so happy!" Looking down at Cheng Ying carefully, he said, "Yes, yes, you are A Yuan, my little A Yuan. I won't let you go, and I won't let you go with that little white-faced bastard." He hugged Cheng Ying tightly. Seeing his excited expression, Lu Wushuang didn't dare to laugh any more. The strange man said: "A Yuan, I found you. Let's go home. From now on, you will always be with your father." Cheng Ying said: "Old man, my father died long ago." The strange man said: "I I know, I know. I am your adoptive father, don't you recognize me?" Cheng Ying shook her head slightly, and said, "I don't have a adoptive father." The strange man yelled, pushed her away fiercely, and shouted: " A Yuan, you don't even recognize your adoptive father?" Cheng Ying said: "Old man, my name is Cheng Ying, not your A Yuan." The strange man murmured: "Aren't you A Yuan? Not my A Yuan?" After staying for a while, he said, "Well, more than twenty years ago, A Yuan was as old as you. Now A Yuan has grown up. I'm too old, I don't want my dad anymore. In her heart, Lu Zhanyuan is the only one." Lu Wushuang said "ah", "Lu Zhanyuan?" The strange man stared at her and asked, "You recognize Lu Zhanyuan, don't you?" Lu Wushuang smiled slightly and said, "Of course I recognize him, he is my uncle." Suddenly the strange man's face became ruthless , reached out and grabbed Lu Wushuang's arms, and asked, "He... he... Where is this little beast? Take me to him quickly." Lu Wushuang was very scared, but still had a smile on his face, trembling Said: "My uncle lives very close, do you really want to find him? Hee hee!" The stranger said: "Yes, yes! I have been looking for three days in Jiaxing, just to settle accounts with this little beast. Little baby, take me there, the old man won't make it difficult for you." His tone gradually softened, and he let go of his palm.Lu Wushuang stroked his left arm with his right hand, and said, "I was scratched so painfully by you. I suddenly forgot where my uncle lives." The strange man raised his eyebrows and was about to explode. Then he thought that it was wrong to bully such a little girl. A smile appeared on his ugly face, and he stretched out his hands into his arms, saying: "It's the father-in-law who is wrong, so I will compensate you. Father-in-law Give Tangtang to you to eat." But one hand couldn't be stretched out from his bosom, obviously he couldn't touch any candy. Lu Wushuang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You have no sugar, you are deceitful, and you are not shy. Well, let me tell you, my uncle lives there." Pointing to two tall locust trees in the distance, he said: " Right there." The strange man stretched out his long arms, held the two of them under his armpits, and ran towards the double locust tree.He rushed straight, and when he encountered a stream blocking his way, he jumped across it.In a short while, the three of them arrived at the side of Shuanghuai.The strange man put down the two of them, but he saw two tombs standing side by side under the locust tree. On one tombstone was written the six characters "Tomb of Lu Gong Zhanyuan", and on the other was the seven characters "Tomb of Mrs. He, Lumen".The grass on the side of the tomb is knee-high, obviously it has been buried for a long time. The stranger stared blankly at the tombstone, and said to himself: "This little beast Lu Zhanyuan died? When did he die?" Lu Wushuang smiled and said, "It's been three years since I died." The strange man sneered and said: "It's a good death, a good death, but it's a pity that I can't take his dog's life with my own hands." He looked up to the sky and laughed.The laughter spread far away, and the voice was full of sadness and resentment, with no meaning of joy. It was getting late at this time, and there was a faint mist among the green poplars and green grass.Lu Wushuang tugged at his cousin's sleeve, and whispered: "Let's go back." The stranger said: "Little Bailian is dead, what is A Yuan still doing here? I want to take her back to Dali. Hey, little baby , take me to find you...to find your dead uncle's wife." Lu Wushuang pointed at the tombstone and said, "Didn't you see me? My aunt died too." The strange man jumped up, screamed like thunder, and shouted: "Is what you said true or false? She, she is dead too?" Lu Wushuang's face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Daddy said, after my uncle died, The aunt also died. I don’t know, I don’t know. Don’t scare me, I’m afraid!” The strange man beat his chest and shouted: “She’s dead, she’s dead? No, you haven’t seen me yet. , must not die. I told you, I will come to see you ten years later. You...why don't you wait for me?" He screamed and jumped wildly, like a mad tiger, suddenly swept his legs across, with a click, he kicked the big locust tree on the right and couldn't help shaking, the branches and leaves rustled.Cheng Ying and Lu Wu held hands and retreated far away, how dare they approach?He suddenly hugged the locust tree and shook it vigorously, as if he was about to pull it up.But the locust tree has a thick trunk and dense branches, how can it be pulled up?He yelled loudly: "You promised yourself, did you forget? You promised to meet me again. Why doesn't the promise count?" After shouting, his voice gradually became hoarse.He squatted down, exerted strength with his hands, the heat on his head slowly rose, like a steamer, his arms were knotted with muscles, he arched his back, and shouted fiercely: "Get up!" The locust tree could not be pulled up, but click There was a loud bang, and it was cut into two pieces.He held the half of the locust tree in a daze for a while, and said softly: "Dead, dead!" He lifted it up and threw it vigorously, and the half of the locust tree flew far away, as if opening a big umbrella in midair. He stood in front of the tomb and murmured: "That's right, Mrs. He of Lumen, that's A Yuan." His eyes blurred, and the two stone tablets turned into two figures.One is a girl with a smile and bright eyes, and the other is a young man with a tall body and a handsome expression.The two stood side by side. The strange man opened his eyes and cursed: "You abducted my good daughter, I'll kill you with one finger." Stretching out his right index finger, bullying him straight in, he slammed it on the boy's chest, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his index finger, and almost broke it It turned out that this pointing hit the stele, but the figure of the boy disappeared.The strange man was furious, and cursed: "Where are you fleeing to?" Then he struck out with his left palm, one palm and two shots, and two pats, both of which hit the stele.The more he hit, the more furious he was, and the strength of his palms became more and more fierce. After hitting more than ten palms, the palms were already dripping with blood. Cheng Ying couldn't bear it, and persuaded: "Old man, don't hit it, you hurt your hand." The strange man laughed loudly, and shouted: "I don't feel pain, I want to kill that little bastard Lu Zhanyuan. " He was laughing out loud to himself, but the laughter stopped suddenly, he was stunned for a while, and shouted: "I must see your face, I must see your face." He stretched out his hands violently, ten fingers like awls As if inserted into the grave of the "Mrs. Lumen He" grave, when the arms were retracted, two large pieces of the grave had been picked up.I saw that his two palms were like shovels, rising and falling at the same time, scooping up large pieces of grave soil. Cheng and Lu were so frightened that their faces paled, they turned around and fled at the same time.The strange man was so engrossed in digging the grave that he didn't even notice it.The two rushed for a while, and didn't feel at ease until they turned several turns and saw no strange person chasing them.The two didn't know the way, so they asked the villagers along the way, and they didn't enter the gate of Lujiazhuang until it was dark.
Lu Wushuang opened his mouth and yelled: "It's not good, it's not good! Dad, mother, come quickly, that lunatic is digging uncle and aunt's grave!" He ran into the hall and saw his father Lu Liding raised his head, staring blankly. looking at the wall. Cheng Ying followed into the hall, and Lu Wushuang followed his gaze, but saw three rows of palm prints on the wall, two on the top, two in the middle, and five on the bottom, a total of nine.Each palm print is as bright red as blood. Hearing his daughter's yelling, Lu Liding quickly asked, "What did you say?" Lu Wushuang shouted, "That lunatic is digging uncle and aunt's grave." Lu Liding was shocked, stood up, and shouted: "Nonsense!" Cheng Ying said: "Uncle It's true." Lu Liding knew that his daughter was naughty and eccentric, but Cheng Ying never lied, and asked, "What's the matter?" Lu Wushuang giggled and said what happened just now. Lu Liding knew something was wrong, before she could finish speaking, he took the single sword from the wall and rushed towards the grave of his brother and sister-in-law.Running to the grave, I saw that not only the graves of the brother and sister-in-law had been dug up, but also the coffins of the two had been opened.When he heard his daughter talk about someone digging a grave, he was expecting it, but seeing it with his own eyes, he still couldn't help his heart pounding wildly.There was no trace of the corpse in the coffin, and the lime, paper tendons, cotton pads, etc. in the coffin were in a mess.He regained his composure and saw many iron marks left on the lids of the two coffins. He couldn't help but feel sad and angry, surprised and suspicious. He didn't ask his daughter carefully just now. With deep hatred and great grievances, they still came to destroy their corpses to vent their anger after they died?Immediately raise the knife to catch up. All his martial arts were taught by his elder brother Lu Zhanyuan. He is indifferent by nature, and his family is well-off. He has a wealth of wealth and career in his life. He has never walked in the rivers and lakes. It can be said that he has no experience and lack of adaptability. After going around in circles, he returned to the grave, let alone the slightest idea, stayed for a long time, and had to go home. He walked into the hall, sat in a chair, leaned on the edge of the chair with a single knife, and stared at the nine bloody handprints on the wall in a daze.I just thought in my heart: "When my brother was dying, he said that he had an enemy, a Taoist nun named Li Mochou, nicknamed 'Chilian Fairy', with high martial arts skills and ruthless demeanor. It is expected that after he gets married ten years later Nian was going to seek revenge from his husband and wife. At that time, he said: "I have died of this disease, and Fairy Chilian will not be able to avenge this enmity. Three years later, it will be her time to avenge her. Whatever you do I want to advise your sister-in-law to stay far away.' I agreed with tears at the time, but my sister-in-law committed suicide on the night of my brother's death. My brother had been dead for three years, so it was time for the nun to come to take revenge, but I Brother and sister-in-law have passed away, and all grievances have been wiped out, so what is that Taoist nun doing here? My brother also said that before killing someone, Taoist nun usually prints bloody handprints on the wall or door of that person's house, one handprint kills. One person. There are only seven people in my family including long-term servants and maids. Why did she have nine fingerprints? Ah, yes, she printed bloody fingerprints first, and then sent people to dig graves after she learned that my brother and sister-in-law were dead. Corpse? This... This female devil is really vicious... I have been at home today, when did these nine bloody handprints be printed? Such a person... This person..." Thinking of this place, couldn't help shivering.
Footsteps were broken behind him, a pair of soft little hands covered his eyes, and he heard his daughter's voice say: "Daddy, who do you think I am?" Blindfolding her father's eyes, she said, "Daddy, who do you think I am?" This made her parents laugh out loud. Since then, whenever her father was depressed, she always used this method to make him happy.Lu Liding was in a rage, even if he was teased by his beloved daughter, his anger would disappear.But today he was in no mood to play with his beloved daughter anymore, he brushed her hands away and said: "Daddy is not free, you go inside and play!" Lu Wushuang was stunned, she had been loved by her parents since she was a child, it was rare to see him ignore her so much, she pouted her lips, wanting to be coquettish and disobedient to her father, only to see the servant Agen hurried in, and said with his hands down: "Master, outside Here are the guests." Lu Liding waved his hand and said, "You said I'm not at home." A Gen said: "Young master, that aunt doesn't want to see you, but a passer-by who wants to spend the night." Lu Liding said in surprise: "What? It's mother You?" A Gen said: "Yes, that aunt has two children with her, she looks weird." Lu Liding heard that the female guest had two children, he felt relieved, and said: "Isn't she a Taoist nun? "Agen shook his head and said: "No. She is dressed clean, and she looks like a good lady." Lu Liding said: "Well, you invite her to rest in the guest room and treat her with meals." Agen agreed went.Lu Wushuang said: "I'll take a look too." Then he ran out. Lu Liding stood up, and was about to go inside to discuss with his wife how to deal with the enemy, when Lu Erniang had already walked to the hall.Lu Liding pointed out the bloody fingerprints to her, and told her about the missing corpse from the tomb.Lu Erniang frowned and asked, "Where are the two children going to hide?" Lu Liding pointed to the blood mark on the wall and said, "The two children are also within a few feet. Since the devil has pressed the blood mark, I'm afraid it won't be easy to escape. Hey, The two of us practiced martial arts all these years in vain, and we didn't feel the slightest when this person came in and out of my house. This... this..." Lu Erniang looked at the white wall, grabbed the back of the chair, and said, "Why are there nine fingerprints? Only seven." She said a few words, her hands and feet were sore, she looked at her husband in a daze, and she was about to shed tears.Lu Liding stretched out his hand to support her arm, and said: "Lady, there is no need to be afraid when things come to an end. The above two handprints are for brother and sister-in-law, and the bottom two are for you and me. The two handprints in the third row are for you and me. One was to deal with Wushuang and Xiaoying. The last three were to beat Agen and the two girls. Hehe, this is called blood splattered all over the house." Lu Erniang trembled: "Brother and sister-in-law?" Lu Liding said: "I don't know this The devil has a great enmity with his elder brother and sister-in-law, and she still wants to send people to dig out their remains from the grave to humiliate them." Erniang Lu said: "You say she sent that madman?" Lu Liding said: "This Naturally." Lu Erniang saw that his face was covered with sweat and dust, and said softly, "Go back to the room to wipe your face, change your clothes, and take a good rest before we talk." Lu Liding stood up, went back to the room side by side with her, and said: "My lady, if the whole family of the Lu family is doomed to die today, let us die so that we won't fall into the reputation of brother and sister-in-law." Erniang Lu felt sore, and said: "Second Master said That's right." Both of them thought, although Lu Liding is famous, his elder brother Lu Zhanyuan and He Yuanjun are well-known in Jianghu, and the name of Lujiazhuang in Jiaxing has never been dared to be underestimated in martial arts. The two walked to the backyard, and suddenly heard a crack on the east wall, and there was someone on the height.Lu Liding took a step forward and stood in front of his wife. When he looked up, he saw a boy sitting on the top of the wall, stretching out his hand to pick lingxiaohua.I heard someone shouting at the foot of the wall: "Be careful, don't fall." It turned out that Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang and another boy were guarding behind the flowers by the wall.Lu Liding thought to himself: "These two children, I think they are here to stay with that family, why are they so naughty?" The boy on the wall picked a flower.Lu Wushuang shouted: "Give it to me, give it to me!" The boy smiled and threw it at Cheng Ying.Cheng Ying reached out to take it and handed it to her cousin.Lu Wushuang got annoyed, took the flowers and threw them on the ground, stomped on them a few times, and said angrily, "Why not? I don't want it." The Lu couple saw the children playing vigorously, they didn't know that a bloody catastrophe was imminent , sighed, and entered the room together. Seeing that Lu Wushuang trampled on the flowers, Cheng Ying said, "Cousin, why are you angry again?" Lu Wushuang pursed her lips, and said, "I don't want his, I'll pick them myself." As she spoke, she tapped her right foot and jumped up. , had already grabbed a wisteria hanging from a flower stand, and with such a force, he jumped a few feet higher and ran straight to the branch of a silver osmanthus tree.The boy on the wall clapped his hands and shouted, "Come here!" Lu Wushuang held the sweet-scented osmanthus branch with both hands, swung it in the air a few times, let go of the tree, and rushed towards the wall. With the little kung fu she has practiced, this pounce is really dangerous, but she is annoyed that the boy threw flowers to his cousin and didn't give them to herself, and the girl wants to be aggressive in front of strangers, so she doesn't care about it. Twenty-one jumped through the air.The boy was taken aback, and shouted, "Watch out!" and reached out to touch each other.If he didn't stretch out his hand, Lu Wushuang could have climbed to the top of the wall, but when he saw the boy coming to grab him in mid-air, he shouted: "Get out of the way!", turning sideways to avoid his hands.The skill of turning around in the air is a very high-level light work. She has seen her father do it before, but even her mother can't do it. How can she do it as a little girl?Turning around, his fingers could no longer reach the top of the wall, and he screamed "Ah yo" and fell straight down. Seeing her fall, the boy at the foot of the wall flew over and reached out to catch her.The wall was more than ten feet high, although Lu Wushuang was light, the force of this fall was very strong, the boy hugged her waist, and they both fell down hard together.Hearing two clicks, Lu Wushuang's left leg was broken, and the boy's forehead hit the stone on the flower bed, and blood gushed out immediately. Cheng Ying and another boy saw that there was a catastrophe, they rushed forward to help each other.The boy stood up slowly and pressed the wound on his forehead, but Lu Wushuang had already passed out.Cheng Ying hugged her cousin and shouted: "Uncle, Auntie, come quickly!" Hearing the screams, Lu Liding and his wife ran out of the room, saw two injured children, and saw a middle-aged woman coming out of the west wing, presumably the woman who came to stay overnight.She rushed to pick up Lu Wushuang and the boy and walked to the hall. She didn't stop the bleeding of the child, but first connected Lu Wushuang's broken leg bone.Lu Erniang took the cloth handkerchief, bandaged the boy's head, and went to see her daughter's leg injury. The woman tapped the "Baihai Point" on the inner side of Lu Wushuang's broken leg and the "Weizhong Point" on the back of the knee to stop her pain, and fixed the two sides of the broken leg with both hands, ready to be boned.Lu Liding saw that her hands were sharp and her acupoints were perfect, so she became suspicious, and shouted: "Who is the aunt? What advice can I give you?" The woman was concentrating on setting Lu Wushuang's bone, she only hummed a few times, but did not answer he asked. At this moment, someone on the roof suddenly laughed, and a woman's voice shouted: "But take the lives of nine members of the Lu family, and the rest of them go out quickly." The woman was setting bones, when she suddenly heard shouts from the roof , Startled, twisted his hands involuntarily, and with a click, Lu Wushuang screamed in severe pain, and passed out again. Everyone looked up together, and saw a young Taoist nun standing by the eaves, the moonlight reflected on her face, she looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a long sword stuck in her back, and the blood-red sword sash fluttered in the wind.Lu Liding said loudly: "I'm coming to Lu Liding. Are you from Li Xiangu's sect?" The corner of the little nun's mouth twitched, and she said: "It's good if you know! Quickly kill your wife, daughter, and servants, and then kill yourself, so that I won't go to any trouble." These few words were said lightly, not Xu Buji actually ignored the other party at all. Hearing these few words, Lu Liding trembled with anger, and said: "You...you..." For a while, he didn't know how to deal with it, and when he wanted to jump up to fight with her, he thought it would be inconvenient for her to be young and a woman When he really wanted to fight her, he was hesitating when he suddenly felt someone passing by, the woman who had come to stay overnight had jumped into the room, with a long sword in her hand, and was fighting with the little Taoist nun. The woman was wearing a gray dress, and the little nun was wearing an apricot-yellow robe. Under the moonlight, gray shadows and yellow shadows could be seen circling and dancing, mixed with three cold lights, and there were occasional sounds of weapons clashing.Lu Liding's martial arts were taught by his elder brother himself, although he has never faced an enemy before, his eyesight is not weak, he can see clearly the two sword moves.Seeing a long sword in the little Taoist nun's hand suddenly turning from defense to attack, from attack to defense, her swordsmanship is very fierce.The woman concentrated on responding to the enemy, and took the opportunity to hand out her moves.Dou Ran heard a clang, the two swords intersected, and the long sword in the little Taoist nun's hand flew into the air.She hurriedly retreated, her pretty face was dizzy, and she scolded: "I was ordered by my master to kill the whole family of the Lu family, who are you to meddle in other people's business?" The woman sneered and said: "If your master has the ability, he should have found Lu Zhanyuan to settle the score. Now that he is dead, but he is looking for other people's bad luck, is it ashamed?" The little nun waved her right hand, and three silver needles Lasing out, two hit the woman, but the third hit Lu Liding who was standing in the courtyard.This was a big surprise, the woman swung her sword away, Lu Liding angrily scolded in a low voice, stretched out two fingers to clamp the silver needle. The little Taoist sneered slightly, turned over and went out of the room, only to hear the sound of footsteps, and hurried away.The woman jumped back into the courtyard, saw Lu Liding holding a silver needle in her hand, she hurriedly said: "Put it down quickly!" Lu Liding threw it down as he said.The woman swung her sword and cut off a part of her clothes, and immediately bound his right wrist firmly. Lu Liding was startled, and said: "Is there poison on the needle?" The woman said: "Extremely poisonous." Immediately took out a pill and gave it to him.Lu Liding only felt that the two fingers in the middle of the food were numb, and then swelled.The woman hurriedly cut the center of his two fingers with the tip of the sword, but saw drops of black blood oozing out.Lu Liding was terrified, and thought: "My finger is not damaged, just touching the silver needle is so powerful, if I pierce a little with the tip of the needle, how can I still survive?" He bowed to the woman and said: " I don't know Mount Tai, so I dare not ask my aunt Gao's surname." The woman said: "The surname of my family is Wu, and it's called Wu Santong." Lu Li stood up and said, "So it's Mrs. Wu San. I heard that Senior Wu is a disciple of Master Yideng in Dali, Yunnan. Is it true?" Wu Sanniang said "That's right. Master Yideng is the master of my family's officials. The little lady learned some simple martial arts from the officials. She is really a classmate, but Master Lu is laughing at it." Lu Liding repeatedly expressed his gratitude for the help.He once heard from his elder brother that among the martial arts masters he has seen in his life, the disciples of Master Yideng in Dali are the most outstanding; Among the servants, the farmer's name is Wu Santong, and he has a rift with his elder brother, as for how to end the grudge, he has not made it clear.But Wu Sanniang didn't make herself an enemy, instead she took the initiative to drive away Fairy Chilian's disciple. The reason for this is hard to figure out. Everyone went back to the hall.Lu Liding held his daughter in his arms, saw that she was awake, her face was pale, but she forced herself to bear the pain, she didn't cry, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her.Wu Sanniang sighed: "As soon as the apprentice of the female devil leaves, the devil will come to him immediately. Master Lu, it's not that I underestimated you. With your husband and wife, plus me, it is definitely not the devil." The opponent of the head. But I see that it is useless to run away, let's resign ourselves to our fate, let's wait here for her to come!" Lu Erniang asked: "What kind of person is this devil? What kind of grudge does he have against our family?" Wu Sanniang glanced at Lu Liding and said, "Didn't Master Lu tell you?" Lu Erniang said : "He said that he only knew that this matter was related to his brother and sister-in-law, and he didn't fully understand that it involved love between men and women." Wu Sanniang sighed and said: "That's it. I'm an outsider, so it's okay to say something. Brother Lu, Uncle Lu, went to Dali more than ten years ago. The devil Chilian fairy Li Mochou is now famous in the martial arts world, but More than ten years ago, she was a beautiful and gentle woman, and she did not become a monk at that time. It was also the sin of her previous life. After she met Brother Ling, she planted a seed of love. After many entanglements and changes, Brother Ling and Ling Sister-in-law He Yuanjun got married. Speaking of sister-in-law Ling, I have to mention the matter of my poor husband. I am ashamed to say this, but today’s situation is urgent, so I have no choice but to say it. This He Yuanjun was originally our adopted daughter.” Lu Liding and his wife said "ah" at the same time. Wu Sanniang caressed the injured boy's shoulder, looked at the candle, and said: "Sister-in-law He Yuanjun has been lonely since she was a child. My husband and I adopted her at home and regarded her as a righteous daughter. We love her very much. Later, she met Brother Ling, and both sides They fell in love with each other and wanted to get married. Firstly, the clumsy husband did not want her to marry far away, and secondly, he was stubborn, saying that Jiangnan people are cunning and deceitful, and they are very unreliable, so he refused to agree no matter what. A Yuan quietly followed Brother Ling On the wedding day, my humble husband and Li Mochou went to make things difficult for the new couple at the same time. At the wedding banquet, an eminent monk from Tianlong Temple in Dali restrained the two of them, telling them to keep the new couple safe for ten years for his sake. The clumsy husband and Li Mochou were forced to promise not to embarrass the new couple for ten years. The clumsy husband was so angry that he has been insane since then. No matter how much his teachers and friends and I persuaded him, he could not be resolved. He always counted these ten years According to the calculations, today is ten years old, but Brother Ling and A Yuan... Alas, they can’t even enjoy the blessing of ten years.” He lowered his head with a sad look on his face. Lu Liding said: "In this way, the one who dug up the grave and stole the body of my brother and sister-in-law is a respected husband." Wu Sanniang felt ashamed, and said: "Just now I heard from the two young ladies in the house that he is indeed an idiot." Lu Liding said embarrassingly: "Your husband's behavior is really wrong. This is not a grudge at all, not to mention that my brother and sister-in-law are dead, even if there is a deep grudge, it will be settled once and for all, but why did you steal his body?甚么英雄好汉？”论到辈份，武氏夫妇该是尊长，但陆立鼎心下愤怒，说话间便不叙尊卑之礼。武三娘叹道：“陆爷责备得是，拙夫心智失常，言语举止，往往不通情理。我今日携这两个孩儿来此，原是防备拙夫到这里来胡作非为。当今之世，只怕也只有我一人，他才忌惮三分了。”说到这里，向两个孩子道：“向陆爷陆二娘叩头，代你爹爹谢罪。”两个孩子拜了下去。 陆二娘忙伸手扶起，问起名字，那摔破额角的叫做武敦儒，是哥哥，弟弟叫做武修文。两人相差一岁，一个十二，一个十一，武学名家的两个儿子，却都取了个斯文名字。武三娘言道，他夫妇中年得子，深知武林中的险恶，盼望儿子弃武学文，可是两个孩儿还是好武，跟他们的名字沾不上边儿。 武三娘说了情由，黯然叹息，心想：“这番话只能说到这里为止，别的话却是不足为外人道了。”原来何沅君长到十七八岁时，亭亭玉立，娇美可爱，武三通对她似乎已不纯是义父义女之情。以他武林豪侠的身分，自不能有何逾分的言行，本已内心郁结，突然见她爱上了一个江南少年，竟是狂怒不能自已。至于他说“江南人狡猾多诈，十分靠不住”，除了敌视何沅君的意中人外，也因当年受了黄蓉的欺骗，替郭靖托下压在肩头的黄牛、大石，弄得不能脱身，虽然后来与靖蓉二人和解了，但“江南人狡猾多诈”一节，却是深印脑中。 武三娘又道：“万想不到拙夫没来，那赤练仙子却来寻府上的晦气……”说到此处，忽听屋上有人叫道：“儒儿，文儿，给我出来！”这声音来得甚是突然，丝毫不闻屋瓦上有脚步之声，便忽然有人呼叫。陆氏夫妇同时一惊，知是武三通到了。程英与陆无双也认出是吃莲蓬怪客的声音。 只见人影晃动，武三通飞身下屋，一手一个，提了两个儿子上屋而去。武三娘大叫：“喂，喂，你来见过陆爷、陆二娘，你取去的那两具尸体呢？快送回来……”武三通全不理会，早去得远了。
他乱跑一阵，奔进一座树林，忽然放下修文，单单抱着敦儒，走得影踪不见，竟把小儿子留在树林之中。 武修文大叫：“爸爸，爸爸！”见父亲抱着哥哥，早已奔出数十丈外，只听得他远远叫道：“你等着，我回头再来抱你。”武修文知道父亲行事向来颠三倒四，倒也不以为异。黑夜之中一个人在森林里虽然害怕，但想父亲不久回来，当下坐在树边等待。过得良久，父亲始终不来，他自言自语：“我找妈去！”向着来路摸索回去。 哪知江南乡间阡陌纵横，小路弯来绕去，纵在白日也是难认，何况黑夜之中？他越走道路越是狭窄，数次踏入了田中，双脚全是烂泥。到后来竟摸进了一片树林之中，脚下七高八低，望出来黑漆一团。他急得想哭，大叫：“爸爸，爸爸！妈妈，妈妈！”静夜中哪里有人答应？却听得咕嘘、咕嘘几声，却是猫头鹰的啼声。他曾听人言道，猫头鹰最爱数人眉毛的根数，若是被它数得清楚，立即毙命，当即伸指沾了唾液，沾湿眉毛，好教猫头鹰难以计数。但猫头鹰还是不住啼鸣，他靠在树干上伸指紧紧按住双眉，不敢稍动，心中只是怦怦乱跳，过了一会，终于合眼睡着了。 睡到天明，迷糊中听得头顶几下清亮高亢的啼声，他睁开眼来，抬头望去，只见两只极大的白色大鹰正在天空盘旋翱翔，双翅横展，竟达丈许。他从未见过这般大鹰，凝目注视，只觉又是奇怪，又是好玩，叫道：“哥哥，快来看大鹰！”一时没想到只自己孤身一人，自来形影不离的哥哥却已不在身边。 忽听得背后两声低啸，声音娇柔清脆，似出于女孩子之口。两只大鹰又盘旋了几个圈子，缓缓下降。武修文回过头来，只见树后走出一个女孩，向天空招手，两只大鹰敛翅飞落，站在她的身畔。那女孩向武修文望了一眼，抚摸两只大鹰之背，说道：“好雕儿，乖雕儿。”武修文心想：“原来这两只大鹰是雕儿。”但见双雕昂首顾盼，神骏非常，站在地下比那女孩还高。 武修文走近说道：“这两只雕儿是你家养的么？”那女孩小嘴微撅，做了个轻蔑神色，道：“我不认得你，不跟你玩。”武修文也不以为忤，伸手去摸雕背。那女孩一声轻哨，那雕儿左翅突然扫出，劲力竟是极大，武修文没提防，登时摔了个筋斗。 武修文打了个滚站起，望着双雕，心下好生羡慕，说道：“这对雕儿真好，肯听你话。我回头要爹爹也去捉一对来养了玩。”那女孩道：“哼，你爹爹捉得着么？”武修文连讨三个没趣，讪讪的很是不好意思，定睛瞧时，只见她身穿淡绿罗衣，颈中挂着一串明珠，脸色白嫩无比，犹如奶油一般，似乎要滴出水来，双目流动，秀眉纤长。武修文虽是小童，也觉她秀丽之极，不由自主的心生亲近之意，但见她神色凛然，却又不禁感到畏缩。 那女孩右手抚摸雕背，一双眼珠在武修文身上滚了一转，问道：“你叫甚么名字？怎么一个儿出来玩？”武修文道：“我叫武修文，我在等我爹爹啊。你呢？你叫甚么？”那女孩扁了扁小嘴，哼的一声，道：“我不跟野孩子玩。”说着转身便走。武修文呆了一呆，叫道：“我不是野孩子。”一边叫，一边随后跟去。 他见那女孩约莫比自己小着两三岁，人矮腿短，自己一发足便可追上，哪知他刚展开轻功，那女孩脚步好快，片刻间已奔出数丈，竟把他远远抛在后面。她再奔几步，站定身子，回头叫道：“哼，你追得着我么？”武修文道：“自然追得着。”立即提气急追。 那女孩回头又跑，忽然向前疾冲，躲在一株松树后面。武修文随后跟来，那女孩瞧他跑得近了，斗然间伸出左足，往他小腿上绊去。武修文全没料到，登时向前跌出。他忙使个“铁树桩”想定住身子，那女孩右足又出，向他臀部猛力踢去。武修文一交直摔下去，鼻子刚好撞在一块小尖石上，鼻血流出，衣上点点斑斑的尽是鲜血。 那女孩见血，不禁慌了，登时没做理会处，只想拔足逃走，忽然身后有人喝道：“芙儿，你又在欺侮人了，是不是？”那女孩并不回头，辩道：“谁说的？他自己摔交，管我甚么事？你可别跟我爹乱说。”武修文按住鼻子，其实也不很疼，只是见到满手鲜血，心下惊慌。他听得女孩与人说话，转过身来，见是个撑着铁拐的跛足老者。那人两鬓如霜，形容枯槁，双眼翻白，是个瞎子。 只听他冷笑道：“你别欺我瞧不见，我甚么都听得清清楚楚。你这小妞儿啊，现下已经这样坏，大了瞧你怎么得了？”那女孩过去挽住他的手臂，央求道：“大公公，你别跟我爹爹说，好不好？他摔出了鼻血，你给他治治啊！” 那老者踏上一步，左手抓住武修文手臂，右手伸指在他鼻旁“闻香穴”按了几按。武修文鼻血本已渐止，这么几按，就全然不流了，只觉那老者五根手指有如铁钳，又长又硬，紧紧抓着自己手臂，心中害怕起来，微微一挣，竟是动也不动，当下手臂一缩一圈，使出母亲所授的小擒拿手功夫，手掌打个半圈，向外逆翻。那老者没料到这小小孩童竟有如此巧妙手法，被他一翻之下，竟尔脱手，“噫”的一声轻呼，随即又抓住了他手腕。武修文运劲欲再挣扎，却怎么也挣不脱了。 那老者道：“小兄弟别怕，你姓甚么？”武修文道：“我姓武。”那老者道：“你说话不是本地口音，从哪里来的？你爹妈呢？”说着放松了他手腕。武修文想起一晚没见爹娘，不知他两人怎样了，听他问起，险些儿便要哭出来。那女孩刮脸羞他，唱道：“羞羞羞，小花狗，眼圈儿红，要流油！” 武修文昂然道：“哼，我才不哭呢！”当下将母亲在陆家庄等候敌人、父亲抱了哥哥不知去了哪里、自己在黑夜中迷路等情说了。他心情激动，说的大是颠三倒四，但那老者也听出了七八成，又问知他们是从大理国来，父亲叫作武三通，最擅长的武功是“一阳指”。那老者道：“你爹爹是一灯大师门下，是不是？”武修文喜道：“是啊，你认识咱们皇爷吗？你见过他没有？我可没见过。”武三通当年在大理国功极帝段智兴手下当御林军总管，后来段智兴出家，法名一灯，但武三通与两个孩子说起往事之时，仍是“咱们皇爷怎样怎样”，是以武修文也叫他“咱们皇爷”。 那老者道：“我也没机缘拜见过他老人家，久仰'南帝'的大名，好生钦羡。这女孩儿的爹娘曾受过他老人家极大的恩惠。如此说来，大家不是外人，你可知道你妈等的敌人是谁？”武修文道：“我听妈跟陆爷说话，那敌人好像是甚么赤练蛇、甚么愁的。”那老者抬起了头，喃喃的道：“甚么赤练蛇？”突然一顿铁杖，大声叫道：“是赤练仙子李莫愁？”武修文喜道：“对对！正是赤练仙子！” 那老者登时神色甚是郑重，说道：“你们两个在这里玩，一步也别离开。我瞧瞧去。”那女孩道：“大公公，我也去。”武修文也道：“我也去。”那老者急道：“唉，唉！万万去不得。那女魔头凶恶得紧，我打不过她。不过既知朋友有难，可不能不去。你们要听话。”说着拄起铁杖，一跷一拐的疾行而去。 武修文好生佩服，说道：“这老公公又瞎又跛，却奔得这么快。”那女孩小嘴一扁，道：“这有甚么希奇？我爹爹妈妈的轻功，你见了才吓一大跳呢。”武修文道：“你爹爹妈妈也是又瞎又跛的吗？”那女孩大怒，道：“呸！你爹爹妈妈才又瞎又跛！” 此时天色大明，田间农夫已在耕作，男男女女唱着山歌。那老者是本地土著，双目虽盲，但熟悉道路，随行随问，不久即来到陆家庄前。远远便听得兵刃相交，乒乒乓乓的打得极是猛烈。陆展元一家是本地的官宦世家，那老者却是市井之徒，虽然同是嘉兴有名的武学之士，却向无往来；又知自己武功不及赤练仙子，这番赶去只是多赔上一条老命，但想到此事牵涉一灯大师的弟子在内，大伙儿欠一灯大师的情太多，决不能袖手，当下足上加劲，抢到庄前。只听得屋顶上有四个人在激斗，他侧耳静听，从呼喝与兵刃相交声中，听出一边三个，另一边只有一个，可是众不敌寡，那三个已全然落在下风。
上晚武三通抱走了两个儿子，陆立鼎夫妇甚是讶异，不知他是何用意。武三娘却脸有喜色，笑道：“拙夫平日疯疯癫癫，这回却难得通达事理。”陆二娘问起原因，武三娘笑而不答，只道：“我也不知所料对不对，待会儿便有分晓。”这时夜已渐深，陆无双伏在父亲怀中沉沉睡去。程英也是迷迷糊糊的睁不开眼来。陆二娘抱了两个孩子要送她们入房安睡。武三娘道：“且稍待片刻。”忽听得屋顶有人叫道：“抛上来。”正是武三通的声音。他轻功了得，来到屋顶，陆氏夫妇事先仍是全没察觉。 武三娘接过程英，走到厅口向上抛去，武三通伸臂抱去。陆氏夫妇正惊异间，武三娘又抱过陆无双掷了上去。 陆立鼎大惊，叫道：“干甚么？”跃上屋顶，四下里黑沉沉地，已不见武三通与二女的影踪。他拔足欲追，武三娘叫道：“陆爷不须追赶，他是好意。”陆立鼎将信将疑，跳回庭中，颤声问道：“甚么好意？”此时陆二娘却已会意，道：“武三爷怕那魔头害了孩儿们，定是将他们藏到了稳妥之处。”陆立鼎当局者迷，被娘子一语点醒，连道：“正是，正是。”但想到武三通盗去自己兄嫂尸体，却又甚不放心。 武三娘叹道：“拙夫自从阿沅嫁了令兄之后，见到女孩子就会生气，不知怎的，竟会眷顾府上两位千金，实非我意料所及。他第一次来带走儒儿、文儿之时，我见他对两位小姐连望几眼，神色间大是怜爱，颇有关怀之意。他从前对着阿沅，也总是这般模样的。果然他又来抱去了两位小姐。唉，但愿他从此转性，不再糊涂！”说着连叹了两口长气，接着道：“两位且养养神，那魔头甚么时候到来，谁也料想不到，提心吊胆的等着，没的折磨了自己。” 陆氏夫妇初时顾念女儿与姨侄女的安危，心中栗六，举止失措，此时去了后顾之忧，恐惧之心渐减，敌忾之意大增，两人身上带齐暗器兵刃，坐在厅上，闭目养神。两人做了十几年夫妻，平日为家务之事不时小有龃龉，此刻想到强敌转瞬即至，想起陆展元与武三娘所说那魔头武功高强、行事毒辣，多半大数难逃，夫妇相偕之时无多，不自禁互相依偎，四手相握。 过了良久，万籁俱寂之中，忽听得远处飘来一阵轻柔的歌声，相隔虽远，但歌声吐字清亮，清清楚楚听得是：“问世间，情是何物，直教生死相许？”每唱一字，便近了许多，那人来得好快，第三句歌声未歇，已来到门外。 三人愕然相顾，突然间砰嘭喀喇数声响过，大门内门闩木撑齐断，大门向两旁飞开，一个美貌道姑微笑着缓步进来，身穿杏黄色道袍，自是赤练仙子李莫愁到了。 阿根正在打扫天井，上前喝问：“是谁？”陆立鼎急叫：“阿根退开！”却哪里还来得及？李莫愁拂尘挥动，阿根登时头颅碎裂，不声不响的死了。陆立鼎提刀抢上，李莫愁身子微侧，从他身边掠过，挥拂尘将两名婢女同时扫死，笑问：“两个女孩儿呢？” 陆氏夫妇见她一眨眼间便连杀三人，明知无幸，一咬牙，提起刀剑分从左右攻上。李莫愁举拂尘正要击落，见武三娘持剑在侧，微微一笑，说道：“既有外人插手，就不便在屋中杀人了！”她话声轻柔婉转，神态娇媚，加之明眸皓齿，肤色白腻，实是个出色的美人，也不见她如何提足抬腿，已轻飘飘的上了屋顶。陆氏夫妇与武三娘跟着跃上。 李莫愁拂尘轻挥，将三般兵刃一齐扫了开去，娇滴滴的道：“陆二爷，你哥哥若是尚在，只要他出口求我，再休了何沅君这个小贱人，我未始不可饶了你家一门良贱。如今，唉，你们运气不好，只怪你哥哥太短命，可怪不得我。”陆立鼎叫道：“谁要你饶？”挥刀砍去，武三娘与陆二娘跟着上前夹攻。李莫愁眼见陆立鼎武功平平，但出刀踢腿、转身劈掌的架子，宛然便是当年意中人陆展元的模样，心中酸楚，却盼多看得一刻是一刻，若是举手间杀了他，在这世上便再也看不到“江南陆家刀法”了，当下随手挥架，让这三名敌手在身边团团而转，心中情意缠绵，出招也就不如何凌厉。 突然间李莫愁一声轻啸，纵下屋去，扑向小河边一个手持铁杖的跛足老者，拂尘起处，向他颈口缠了过去。这一招她足未着地，拂尘却已攻向敌人要害，全未防备自己处处都是空隙，只是她杀着厉害，实是要教对方非守不可。 那老者于敌人来招听得清清楚楚，铁杖疾横，斗地点出，径刺她的右腕。铁杖是极笨重的兵刃，自来用以扫打砸撞，这老者却运起“刺”字诀，竟使铁杖如剑，出招轻灵飘逸。李莫愁拂尘微挥，银丝倒转，已卷住了铁杖杖头，叫一声：“撒手！”借力使力，拂尘上的千万缕银丝将铁杖之力尽数借了过来。那老者双臂剧震，险些把持不住，危急中乘势跃起，身子在空中斜斜窜过，才将她一拂的巧劲卸开，心下暗惊：“这魔头果然名不虚传。”李莫愁这一招“太公钓鱼”，取义于“愿者上钩”，以敌人自身之力夺人兵刃，本来百不失一，岂知竟未夺下他的铁杖，却也是大出意料之外，暗道：“这跛脚老头儿是谁？竟有这等功夫？”身形微侧，但见他双目翻白，是个瞎子，登时醒悟，叫道：“你是柯镇恶！” 这盲目跛足老者，正是江南七怪之首的飞天蝙蝠柯镇恶。
当年郭靖、黄蓉参与华山论剑之后，由黄药师主持成婚，在桃花岛归隐。黄药师性情怪僻，不喜热闹，与女儿女婿同处数月，不觉厌烦起来，留下一封书信，说要另寻清静之地闲居，径自飘然离岛。黄蓉知道父亲脾气，虽然不舍，却也无法可想。初时还道数月之内，父亲必有消息带来，哪知一别经年，音讯杳然。黄蓉思念父亲和师父洪七公，和郭靖出去寻访，两人在江湖上行走数月，不得不重回桃花岛，原来黄蓉有了身孕。 她性子向来刁钻古怪，不肯有片刻安宁，有了身孕，处处不便，甚是烦恼，推源祸始，自是郭靖不好。有孕之人性子本易暴躁，她对郭靖虽然情深爱重，这时却找些小故，不断跟他吵闹。郭靖知道爱妻脾气，每当她无理取闹，总是笑笑不理。若是黄蓉恼得狠了，他就温言慰藉，逗得她开颜为笑方罢。 不觉十月过去，黄蓉生下一女，取名郭芙。她怀孕时心中不喜，但生下女儿之后，却异常怜惜，事事纵恣。这女孩不到一岁便已顽皮不堪。郭靖有时看不过眼，管教几句，黄蓉却着意护持，郭靖每管一回，结果女儿反而更加放肆一回。到郭芙五岁那年，黄蓉开始授她武艺。这一来，桃花岛上的虫鸟走兽可就遭了殃，不是羽毛被拔得精光，就是尾巴给剪去了一截，昔时清清静静的隐士养性之所，竟成了鸡飞狗走的顽童肆虐之场。郭靖一来顺着爱妻，二来对这顽皮女儿确也十分爱怜，每当女儿犯了过错，要想责打，但见她扮个鬼脸搂着自己项子软语相求，只得叹口长气，举起的手又慢慢放了下来。 这些年中，黄药师与洪七公均是全无音讯，靖蓉夫妇想起二人年老，好生挂念。郭靖又几次去接大师父柯镇恶，请他到桃花岛来颐养天年。但柯镇恶爱与市井之徒为伍，闹酒赌钱为乐，不愿过桃花岛上冷清清的日子，始终推辞不来。这一日他却不待郭靖来接，自行来到岛上。原来他近日手气不佳，连赌连输，欠下了一身债，无可奈何，只得到徒儿家里来避债。郭靖、黄蓉见到师父，自是高兴异常，留着他在岛上长住，无论怎样不放他走了。黄蓉慢慢套出真相，暗地里派人去替他还了赌债。柯镇恶却不知道，不敢回嘉兴去，闲着无事，就做了郭芙的游伴。 忽忽数年，郭芙已满九岁了。黄蓉记挂父亲，与郭靖要出岛寻访，柯镇恶说甚么也要一起去，郭芙自也磨着非同去不可。四人离岛之后，谈到行程，柯镇恶说道：“甚么地方都好，就是嘉兴不去。”黄蓉笑道：“大师父，好教你得知，那些债主我早给你打发了。”柯镇恶大喜之下，首先便要去嘉兴。 到得嘉兴，四人宿在客店之中。柯镇恶向故旧打听，有人说前数日曾见到一个青袍老人独自在烟雨楼头喝酒，说起形貌，似乎便是黄药师的模样。郭靖、黄蓉大喜，便在嘉兴城乡到处寻访。这日清晨，柯镇恶带着郭芙，携了双雕到树林中玩，不意凑巧碰到了武修文。
柯镇恶与李莫愁交手数合，就知不是她的对手，心想：“这女魔头武功之强，竟
