Chapter 54 Qikangfu lived in seclusion in Dongliang Mountain

Kang Fu is indeed not dead, he is still alive in this world.The almost legendary story has to start when he was shot and fell down. It turned out that Li Chendian's marksmanship was not good, and because of his ulterior motives, his hands trembled when he shot, and his hands moved from his chest to his shoulders. Kang Fu's right shoulder blade was broken, and his shirt was soaked in blood.When he was unconscious, Li Chendian commanded the Hunan Army to rush towards the Golden Dragon Hall like tigers and wolves.In their eyes, the Golden Dragon Palace is full of gold, silver, pearls and agates, and even everything in the palace is made of gold and jade, including the daily utensils, as well as those carved window lattices and carved dragon pillars... their hearts There was a wave of crazy excitement, and he took all the movable and valuable things for himself without any scruples.The fire outside the temple is still burning into the sky, while the inside of the temple is in chaos: the priceless jade is smashed by the devil's palm, and the art treasures are trampled by iron hooves. In order to fight for a pearl or an ingot, brothers who were brothers just now meet each other with swords. Severed arms and stabbed corpses are everywhere, in a mess.Over the years, the Hunan Army, which has frightened the world with its military achievements, performed here the ugliest scene since its establishment, and at the same time exposed their shameful pursuit!Seeing that the looting was almost complete, Li Chendian ordered everyone to throw a torch into the hall. He wanted to burn the Golden Dragon Hall that had been looted, so as not to leave traces of their crimes.

The huge heat wave gushing from the Golden Dragon Hall woke Kang Fu up, but he couldn't get up.He watched such a magnificent and extraordinary palace being destroyed in the raging fire, and watched the ugly appearance of his brothers snatching the spoils, and Li Chendian's murderous face with a short gun in his hand appeared in his mind, and his heart felt like a knife was twisted. Pain like a sword chop.At this moment, a Xiangyong carrying a gold-plated toilet walked in front of him beamingly, one foot happened to step on his wound, and a burst of heart-pounding pain made him faint again.

It was almost morning when Kang Fu woke up again.The moon in the middle of the month is big and bright, but the human world under the moon is a horrible scene: the fire in the Golden Dragon Palace has not been extinguished, corpses, knives and spears are everywhere near and far, and the bones scorched by the fire emit a suffocating stench. At this moment, the noise has passed away, the living are sleepy from exhaustion, and the world is deadly silent.Kang Fu felt that the blood in the wound had solidified, and the pain eased a little. He tried to struggle to get up, but as soon as he moved, his right leg felt a sharp pain.It turned out that when he was unconscious and fell to the ground, not only was there no one behind Xiangyong to help him, but several people stepped on his body and rushed towards the Golden Dragon Hall. His right leg was trampled off at this time.Kang Fu was so angry that he beat the ground with his hands.After beating for a while, he calmed down and thought: Let's talk about it after dawn!He turned his body with difficulty, changing from prone to side lying, feeling more comfortable.His face was turned towards the moon, and his eyes were slightly closed.

At some point, a hand touched his nostril.He opened his eyes and found a person squatting beside him.The man asked, "Brother, is your surname Kang?" "My surname is Kang." Kang Fu was very happy. He guessed that this must be a brother from the Hunan Army. "Is your name Kang Fu?" "Yes, I am Kang Fu! Brother, who are you?" Kang Fu thought: This is it! "Where are you hurt?" Kang Fu pointed to his left shoulder, then his right leg. "I'll carry you on my back." The man carried Kang Fu on his back, and when he walked to Hanxi Gate, he happened to meet a strong war horse chewing grass, and beside him was a man who looked like an officer lying on his back and sleeping soundly.

The man rejoiced secretly, untied the reins, first helped Kang Fu onto the horse's back, and then jumped on himself, slapped the horse's buttocks vigorously, the war horse raised its hooves, galloped forward, and passed through the Hanxi Gate in the blink of an eye.The man rode his horse to the west, along the ancient road by the Yangtze River, kicking up red dust all the way. "Brother, where are you taking me?" Kang Fu asked in surprise. "Brother, don't worry, I won't harm you, stop at a suitable place." The man replied from behind. Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from Jiangning City, Kang Fu did not miss it.When he woke up for the first time, everything in front of him weighed heavily on his chest, and his brother's exhortation from that night sounded in his mind: "Brother, after the war, you should disarm and return to the fields!" After recovering, he immediately left the Hunan Army.Now it is time to use the strength of this brother to achieve the goal.

This is really a rare steed, and it does not feel heavy when it carries two men on its back.Towards dusk, a mountain with many peaks appeared in front of my eyes.Kang Fu recognized that this was Dongliang Mountain in Dangtu County, Anhui.He said to the man: "Brother, let's not go, let's stop here. I once lived here for a period of time. There are many good herbs in the mountains. I want to recuperate here." "Row." The man jumped off the horse, took the rein, and walked slowly towards the mountain.The mountain wind was blowing, and they felt comfortable after being soaked in hot sweat for a whole day.After investigating all the way, I finally took a fancy to a family with the surname Feng.Old man Feng is seventy-two years old this year, his wife is sixty-five years old, and has no children.The old man has practiced medicine all his life, with a compassionate face and a Buddha heart, compassionate to the world and human beings.A circle of bamboo fences surrounds the five thatched houses, and half of the back garden is planted with vegetables and half with herbs.The man told the old man that they were two cousins ​​who went out to do business. Unfortunately, they met a bad guy and injured his cousin's shoulder and leg. He asked the old man to take him in and heal his bone.After speaking, he took out a large ingot of fifty taels of silver from the yellow bag.

Old man Feng didn't take the money, but he agreed to their request.That night, the old couple drank vegetable wine and treated them like old friends.After eating, Kang Fu washed the wound with herbs, and applied two thick medicine packs to his left shoulder and right leg.Kang Fu lay on the bed, the pain seemed to disappear. "Brother, what's your name, which battalion is that sentry? Why did you take me away from Jiangning?" Kang Fu asked the man.This day, he has been wanting to ask, but one is sitting on horseback and running, and it is inconvenient to talk, and the other is that he is not strong enough to talk more.Now, he had to ask.

"Brother Kang, you have no idea who I am." The man sat by his bed and said with a smile, "I am not your Hunan Army brother, I am your opponent, an officer of the Taiping Army .” "Is this true?" Kang Fu was shocked. If his leg hadn't been broken, he would have jumped up from the bed. "It's true." The man had been prepared for a long time, and he didn't mind Kang Fu's surprise at all, "Brother Kang, listen to me slowly." It turned out that the man who rescued Kang Fu was one of the Taiping soldiers who watched Zeng Guofan writing in the small restaurant in Ningxiang. The thin-footed guy who asked Zeng Guofan to copy the notice.He was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, and he was one of thousands of boy scouts in the Taiping Army.Kang Fu went to visit his cousin and missed the opportunity to meet him, but when his younger brother Kang Lu joined the Taiping Army, he joined Wei Zuchang's army and was organized into the army of Xizuzai.Slenderfoot didn't know who his parents were since he was sensible. He grew up among beggars.The Taiping army buried pots for cooking, so he went to the big iron pot to beg for rice.Wei Zuchang saw him poorly, and accepted him as a boy scout. He asked him what his name was, but he couldn't answer.Everyone saw that his feet were thinner than other people's arms, so they called him thin feet.

Three months after Thin Foot joined the army, he met Kang Lu.The little guy is the most pure and enthusiastic, and he takes great care of Kang Lu.During the march all the way, he told Kang Lu what he had learned in the Taiping Army in the past three months about theories about worshiping God, equalizing the rich and the poor, and the righteousness of the nation.Although the knowledge of the thin feet is superficial, he has deep feelings for the Taiping Army. Those superficial truths come from his mouth with strong emotions, which deeply impressed Kang Lu who had just joined the Taiping Army.Kang Lu is a few years older than Piaozuizai, and he is highly skilled in martial arts, and Piaozuizai respects him very much.Later, Kang Lu continued to be promoted, and the thin foot boy followed him all the time.Until Kang Lu became the king of Chu, Stiles still served as his personal soldier with the official title of general system.Thin feet know everything about Kangfu.On the eve of the fall of Tianjing, Kang Fu went to the Prince of Chu's mansion to persuade his younger brother. Outside the window next door, Thin Feet saw Kang Fu clearly, and he could hear the conversation between the two brothers clearly. He admired the King of Chu from the bottom of his heart.After the outer city of Tianjing was breached, Thin Feet was not seriously injured and could have escaped from the city, but he didn't.Together with the King of Chu, he will set himself on fire with five thousand wounded martyrs, expressing his loyalty to faith and friendship with his death.But Kang Lu thought further.Just before Kang Fu led the Hunan Army into Sun City, Kang Lu called Thin Feet to him, handed him a yellow satin bag, and said solemnly: "Brother, you are young and not seriously injured. If you follow this path, there will be even heavier burdens for you to bear in the future.”

"What orders does the lord have?" Looking at the king of Chu who had become as thin as a skeleton, the boy with thin feet felt very sad. "Take this burden with you, and take advantage of the chaotic moment when the Qing monsters are robbing the Golden Dragon Hall's property, rush out of the Tianwang Palace, escape from Tianjing City, and then try to return to Guangxi." "My lord, I won't run away, I want to die for the country with you and my brothers." Thinfoot Boy said hoarsely. "Brother, listen to me." Kang Lu put his hands on the shoulders of the thin foot boy. Hunger and fatigue had tortured this tough man to the point of weakness.He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "The Heavenly King's Palace will soon fall into the hands of Qing Yao, and Tianjing City will soon fall. The loyal king protects the young Heavenly King from the city. There are 200,000 brothers, but in my opinion, there is little hope for them to restore the kingdom of heaven. I calmly thought that the failure of the kingdom of heaven does not lie in the lack of people and soldiers, but in the loss of hearts. Why do people lose hearts? How many times have you said that today's situation is critical, so I can't go into details. Although the later development of the kingdom of heaven is painful, but at the beginning of the rebellion, the old heavenly king told his brothers and sisters the truth; People in the early days of my Kingdom of Heaven will return, and it will be booming. The Kingdom of Heaven has temporarily failed, and the ideal of the Kingdom of Heaven is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Guangdong and Guangxi. The ancients said it well: the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows again. As long as the time is right, the greatness of the Kingdom of Heaven The flags will be set up in Guangdong and Guangxi again. Don’t see that the demon has won now, its strength is exhausted, and it won’t last long. You are only in your twenties, your life has just started, and you have been in the army for more than ten years. Everything in the Taiping Army I have already realized that it is the rich experience for doing great things in the future. In the package, there are a few books of the old heavenly king’s early preaching, as well as "The Tianchao Tianmu System" and "New Chapters of Senior Citizens". These are the most important documents in my kingdom of heaven. In addition, there is a note I wrote to the old heavenly king, which tells about some major mistakes in the kingdom of heaven for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, the old heavenly king ascended to heaven just after copying it. Brother, after you return to Guangxi, you must read through these carefully. Documents, with the spirit of the old Heavenly King preaching in the past, to promote the lofty ideals of the kingdom of heaven, learn from the lessons of this failure, reunite the fathers and fellow villagers, overthrow the Qing demon, and realize the old Heavenly King's wish."

"My lord, I obey your orders!" Thinfoot realized the greatness of this mission, and he was determined to take on this extraordinary burden. "Okay, you are my good brother!" Kang Lu pulled out a thin piece of grass from the cracks under his feet, chewed it in his mouth a few times, swallowed it, and said, "There are ten big ingots in the bag." , for your use along the way and back, and my remaining three darts, you keep them for me, and if you have a chance in the future, you give them to my brother." "My lord's elder brother is in the Qing Yao army camp, I will definitely find it." "No, don't go to him for now. My brother is a good man. I believe he won't stay in the Qing Yao army camp for a long time. He will wake up and go home one day. After seven or eight years, you will come to me again. The most important thing for you now is to leave Tianjing as soon as possible, as far away as possible." Kang Lu pulled up another piece of grass and chewed, cheering up and said, "I have no wife and no children, brother My son is my son. Tell my brother, when your nephew grows up, give him these three darts, and let him know that in this world, he once had an uncle." When Kang Lu said this, his eyes turned red, and he quickly stopped: "The situation is critical, so I can't say more. Go and shave your head and change your clothes." Slender feet shaved off all his long hair, leaving only a braid, and put on a long coat of ordinary people.When he took up his burden and came to the King of Chu again, the Hunan army had rushed into the Golden Dragon City and surrounded the Golden Dragon Hall.At this moment, Kang Lu was surprised to find that the general leading the troops was his brother!He pointed at Kang Fu from a distance and said to Slender Foot, "My brother is right there." Slender feet followed the gestures and looked, yes, it was the man who sneaked into Chu Palace that night.After the woodpile was lit, Thinfoot Boy sneaked out of the fire ring with tears in his eyes.Soon, he saw Kang Fu was shot and fell.Out of admiration for King Chu and loyalty to King Chu's entrustment, Thin Foot decided: as long as Kang Fu is not dead, he must be rescued and taken far away from Tianjing City!The loyal leader of the Taiping Army doesn't want his boss' elder brother to be the running dog of the Qing demon for a long time! "Show me the darts." Kang Fu said emotionally after Thin Foot Zai finished talking about the experience. Thin feet opened the yellow satin package, and solemnly handed over the three darts left by Kang Lu. Kang Fu looked at the three steel darts engraved with the word "Lu", and his eyes blurred with tears. Darts is a common skill.Generally, darts are fired one by one, but the Kang family's darts are in groups of three, which can be sent out at the same time, or one after another.The Kangfu brothers have been taught boxing and kicking by their father since they were five years old. They started practicing knives and sticks at the age of eight, and darts and Go at the age of ten.When Kang Fu was fifteen years old, his father died, and his younger brother was just ten years old, so his younger brother's darts and go were all taught by his elder brother.That year, an exquisite blacksmith came to Xiahe Bridge. Kang Fu asked him to play five sets of darts for each of the brothers: willow leaf dart, plum blossom dart, garlic dart, copper coin dart, and triangular dart. Put the words "Fu" and "Lu" on it, and brothers make an appointment not to use darts unless it is absolutely necessary.More than ten years have passed, Kang Fu only used two groups, and Kang Lu only has this group left.This is a set of club darts.The scene of building darts is still vivid in my memory, but my brother will never be seen again. Since then, Kang Fu and Thin Feet stayed at Old Man Feng's house.The old man went to Dongliang Mountain for two days to gather medicine for Kangfu, while the old lady often steamed chicken and boiled fish soup to nourish his body.Normally, Thin Feet would often talk about his ideal of heaven, while Old Man Feng would often scold the court and the government.Kang Fu secretly reflected on his experience of more than ten years, and gradually his understanding became deeper and deeper. Affected by his father and the environment, Kang Fu's life purpose in his youth was to be loyal to the king and respect his superiors, and to rely on his own ability to walk a path of being famous and honoring his ancestors in a dignified manner.It is precisely because of this that he followed Zeng Guofan, hoping to revive the Kang family tradition under Zeng Guofan's support.The Taiping Army rebelled against the imperial court. He thought it was contrary to the rules and regulations, and he couldn't accept destroying statues of Confucius and Mencius and burning poems and books. Therefore, he fully supported Zeng Guofan in building the Hunan Army and became an important figure in the Hunan Army.He thought he was walking a broad road of making contributions and honoring his ancestors, and he regretted countless times that his younger brother lost his life in the Taiping Army.His younger brother's big talk that night really made him feel deaf.For the first time, he discovered that his younger brother was the real hero. In comparison, he was really wretched.The unprecedented scene not long ago shook his heart like a mountain was shaking and the sea was rolling. There are so many outstanding people in the world who don't regret their death and look at death as home!If it wasn't for the support of a lofty belief, if it wasn't for the firm belief that one's cause was upright, and if it wasn't for the deep hatred of the enemy, how could such a tragic scene occur! As an upright scholar, Kang Fu had a new understanding of the Taiping Army, and thus doubted the correctness of his actions.He still couldn't understand why Li Chendian wanted to kill him at the last moment of victory.Later, when he heard that Li Chendian was awarded the title of Viscount for being the first to break into the Heavenly King's Palace, he suddenly realized.Everyone has a reward, except for his well-being, even if he really died, there should be a pension!For the first time, Kang Fu felt dissatisfied.He began to realize that the idol he had admired for many years was actually a heartless person.The news that came not long later completely shattered this idol in his heart. It was after Kang Fu's right leg basically recovered. One day he took a walk to the bank of the Yangtze River and encountered a large number of Hunan troops who had been dismissed from Jiangning City.These Hunan soldiers didn't know him, but he wanted to chat with them.One of the dismissed Hunan Army followed Zhao Liewen to Luzhou to capture Wei Yide. He told Kang Fu in detail how Zeng Guofan charged Wei Jun and his nephew with treason and used their heads to forcibly disarm them. After hearing this, Kang Fu felt uncomfortable for several days.It was Kang Fu who persuaded Wei Jun to surrender; when Wei Jun had concerns about the situation after the surrender, it was Kang Fu who vouched for his own personality and took out Zeng Guofan's poems as proof.How sincere is Zeng Guofan's poem: As long as Wei Jun surrenders, the court will treat him like Han Gaozu treated Han Xin and Tang Taizong treated Yuchi Jingde, and will leave a name for his portrait on Lingyan Pavilion in the future.Later, Zeng Guofan expressed this attitude again in front of Kang Fu and Wei Jun's uncle and nephew.For four or five years, Uncle and Nephew Wei Jun had been fighting tough battles for the imperial court. Unexpectedly, after Jiang Ning defeated them, not only did he not ask for credit for them, but instead killed them to achieve the purpose of threatening others.Kang Fu remembered that once, Wei Jun told him uncomfortably that Han Xin was finally killed by Empress Lu's design, and the poem "Han Zu once heard about Han Xinyong" was a bit ominous.Kang Fu comforted and said, don't be suspicious, Han Xin was killed later because he planned Chen Xi's rebellion, and it was his own fault.From Liu Bang's point of view, he has no doubts about Han Xin.Even though he said this, Wei Jun was always uneasy in his heart.Could it be that Zeng Guofan planted a murderous intention on Wei Jun at the beginning?This famous official of Confucianism has always flaunted sincerity and trustworthiness, but his heart is really unfathomable. At least for Uncle Wei Jun, it is not harsh to judge him as "treacherous, cruel and cruel". With deep guilt for Wei Jun and Wei Yide, Kang Fu cried and paid homage at the foot of Dongliang Mountain.The ghost paper was incinerated in the fire, and the friendship with Zeng Guofan for more than ten years also turned into ashes at the same time.He thought of the family heirloom of the Kang family that was given to Wei Jun—Concubine Tian's Go piece. Now it is unknown what happened to it, and it is likely to be lost forever in such a mysterious way.He was very sad and felt sorry for his ancestors. This winter, Kang Fu recovered from two serious injuries to his left shoulder and right leg.He and the old couple of the self-proclaimed family of Stiles thanked and said goodbye, and offered one hundred and fifty taels of silver as a reward.Old man Feng refused to accept his resignation, and said: "In the past six months, I have seen that you two are not ordinary people, let's make friends who forget the age!" Old man Feng's friendship moved the two men. In Xishang's cabin, Thin Feet persuaded Kang Fu many times to go to Guangxi with him to cultivate talents for the revival of the kingdom of heaven.Kang Fu politely declined again and again.He changed his views on the Taiping Army and Zeng Guofan, but he was still unwilling to embark on the road of betraying the imperial court and raising the flag to rebel.He told Thin Feet Boy that he would never take part in worldly affairs for the rest of his life, and that he would pass on the Kang family tradition to his son, Kang Chong, and let Kang Chong be his uncle.After arriving in Yuanjiang, Kang Fu stayed at home with his thin feet.He thought to himself that he had lived in Yuanjiang for a long time, and he would definitely be known by the old Paoze. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him not to participate in world affairs. The most appropriate way is to sell the land and go out with his family.He thought of the great kindness of the Feng family, and pityed them for their old age and childlessness, so he decided to move to the foot of Dongliang Mountain and live with the old couple of the Feng family. Kang Fu sold the house and land for a total of 5,000 taels of silver.In order to thank the little foot boy for his life-saving and care, he gave three thousand taels to the little foot boy.Thin feet carefully thought about the important things to do after returning home, so he readily accepted his farewell. In a dark night, Kang Fu took his wife Tian Shi and seven-year-old son Kang Zhong, and quietly left Yuanjiang Xiahe Bridge.Rowing all the way and Zhang Fan came to Feng's house in Dongliang Mountain, the old couple of Feng's family followed Kang Fu's family, both surprised and happy.Kang Fu told old man Feng everything, saying that he would settle here from now on and change his name to Kang Fu to show his hidden intentions, and he would take care of the old couple until their death.The old couple were full of joy.Kang Fu built ten thatched cottages at Yuxi Bridge.From then on, he studied medicine and collected herbs with Feng Laohan, taught his son to read books, practice martial arts, and play Go, and lived a leisurely life.One day by the Yangtze River, he was recognized by Li Chenzhang who was passing by, and he dragged him to Tiger Mountain to play for two days.Kang Fu told Li Chenzhang not to tell anyone about it. Li Chenzhang kept his promise, but in front of Zeng Guoquan, he could no longer keep this secret. Zeng Guoquan took his son Ji Rui and his servant Wang Yong ashore at Dongliangshan Wharf. After asking a passerby, he easily found the Yuxiqiao Kang family. This is a place with a beautiful environment.The continuous and towering Dongliang Mountain blocks the hustle and bustle of the outside world with its huge body, and gives a peaceful and quiet atmosphere to the farmhouses and farms in this area; the winding and slender Yuxi River flows out from the valley, and the water is crystal clear, like Jade liquid wine is generally lovely. A semicircular arch bridge spans across it. Wild vines and branches can be seen on the pier, which further highlights the vigor and age of the stone arch bridge. It adds a bit of interest to the quiet atmosphere.Just beside the arch bridge, a low bamboo fence surrounds a dozen or so houses with staggered thatched roof tiles.In the backyard, under the warm winter sun, an old man with silver beard and hair and a boy of fourteen or fifteen were playing chess face to face, holding their breath.Zeng Guoquan asked Wang Yong not to knock on the door for now, and they watched secretly from outside the wall.After hearing a crisp sound of a chess piece being placed on the board, the old man laughed loudly: "You lost again, this time there must be nothing to talk about!" The young man stood up, stared at the chessboard for a long time, finally dropped the white stones in his hand, and said, "Grandpa Feng, I really surrendered this time." "Well, it's not easy to finally say the word 'admit defeat', the sun is coming out from the west!" The old man still said with a cheerful smile. "Grandpa Feng, I want to play three more games with you." It seemed that the boy's previous stubborn temper had returned. "It's okay to play three more games, but you have to count what you say. If you lose, you have to play a trick for Grandpa Feng. After playing the trick, I will play with you." "Okay, let's play!" After the boy finished speaking, he took out a birdcage from a small branch next to it and put it on the chessboard. There were three gray wild partridges in the cage, and he opened the cage door. "Little Zhongzi, close the door quickly, the partridge will fly away." Old man Feng said anxiously. "I just want it to fly away!" While speaking, the three gray partridges all got out of the cage and spread their wings to fly high.I saw that young man calmly took out three plum blossom darts from his pocket, arranged them in the palm of his hand, and then called out "Go", the three darts flew out of his palm one by one, straight to The partridge chased after him.In the blink of an eye, three partridges fell down one after another, each with a small plum blossom dart stuck in their bodies. "Good darts!" Zeng Guoquan outside the fence couldn't help but blurted out. "Who is peeking outside?" When the old man leaned over to pick up partridges, the young man came to the wall following the sound. "Little hero, can you let us in for a while?" Zeng Guoquan asked with a smile on his face, full of admiration.Such a smile is usually hard to see on the face of this "iron bucket" Jiu Shuai. "Who are you, why did you come in?" The young man seemed unaffected by his smile, and asked loudly. "We have come from far away, and we want to ask you about someone." "Grandpa Feng, did you say to open the door to let them in?" The young man couldn't make up his mind, so he turned to ask the old man. "Since we are guests from afar, let them in!" the old man said kindly. "Then you all come in." After the boy finished speaking, he ran to the door and opened the bamboo door. The old man invited Zeng Guoquan and his party to sit in the living room, and poured tea for them one by one with his own hands. "The guest officer said just now that he wanted to inquire about a person. What's his name?" the old man asked.The boy stood behind him. "His name is Kang Fu." "Are you looking for Kang Fu? He is my father!" The young man answered happily. "Are you Kang Fu's son?" Zeng Guoquan looked at the young man happily, and asked the old man, "Old man, are you..." "He is Grandpa Feng, my father's great benefactor." The boy rushed to say again. The old man said lovingly: "His name is Kang Zhong, the son of Kang Fu, a clever mischievous ghost." "My father is not at home, he went to Wudang Mountain to find friends." Kang Zhong said loudly again. "Not at home?" Zeng Guoquan felt regretful, "When will you be back?" "Maybe, at least half a month, at most twenty days." Grandpa Feng replied, "Excuse me, sir, do you have anything to do with Kang Fu?" "I'm Kang Fu's friend, and I haven't seen him for several years. It's no big deal to find him. I passed by here, went ashore to meet him, and chatted casually." Zeng Guoquan said, "Old man Feng, how has Kang Fu been all these years? " "Okay, okay!" Old man Feng said with a smile, "Kang Fu lives here all year round, doesn't go out much, reads books, plays chess, educates his son, and chats with the old man all over the place every day." Zeng Guoquan thought that since Kang Fu was not here, and he had to rush to Jiangning as soon as possible, he said, "Old man Feng, can I lend you a piece of paper and a pen, how about I leave a few words for Kang Fu?" "Okay." As soon as the old man Feng spoke, Kang Zhong ran into the room in a hurry, and took out a complete set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones in a short while.Zeng Guoquan unfolded the paper and wrote: Brother Kangfu: I am glad to hear that you are still alive, and I will never meet you when you visit me. We will meet again next time.My eldest brother is seriously ill, so I went to Jiangning from Hunan to visit him.After Wei Jun's death, the Kang family's ancestral chess has been treasured by the elder brother.Being able to have another drinking Go game with my dear friend is a real joy in life!Yuan Fu dug his head in Kang's Mansion at Yuxi Bridge. Although he was famous all over the world, the old man Feng and Kang Zhong at the foot of Dongliang Mountain didn't know who Yuan Fu was.The old man asked Kang Zhong to fold the paper and take it away, and hand it to his father when he came back.Seeing this smart young man, Zeng Guoquan was overjoyed and thought of sending him something as a souvenir.He felt around his body, but couldn't find a suitable item. When he was feeling regretful, he suddenly saw the scarf hanging from his chest, and he took it off immediately.This is a large scarf made of the armpit fur of twenty fire foxes. It was purchased from the capital for nine hundred taels of silver.He handed the scarf to Kang Zhong without hesitation: "Little Zhongzi, Uncle gave it to you, please accept it!" Kang Zhong stretched out his hand to continue.The scarf was unusually soft, as if there was a source of fire hidden inside, constantly emitting warm heat.Kang Zhong had never seen such a good thing before. Just as he was about to accept it, he remembered his father's repeated warnings, so he handed over the scarf: "My father said, you can't take other people's things." Zeng Guoquan laughed, and said, "You don't have to keep other people's things, but you must accept my uncle's things. When your father comes back, he will tell you." Kang Zhong turned to look at Grandpa Feng again.The old man said: "Since the guest said so, he must be your father's close friend. You should accept it first and give it to your father later." Old man Feng tried his best to keep Zeng Guoquan and his party to eat at home, but he was not willing to stay, so he said goodbye and returned to the boat.
