[one]
At that time, the forty-eight villages were not called forty-eight villages, and they were collectively called "Shuzhong".
There are many mountains and dangerous roads in the middle of Shu. In the early years, many heroes took their families and took their families to live in seclusion. They passed on family learning to their descendants. Many did not bother to set up a special school. The surnamed Li was the "Li Family". The people with the surname Zhang are the "Zhang family", and some people who live together or whose surnames are too common say that they belong to a certain mountain in Shu. , give the sect a decent name—for example, "Qianzhong" who is full of rough people, but has a more delicate heart.
The author has something to say:
Zhou Yitang remembered that when he was young, there were no such big rules in Shu. Regardless of the ups and downs outside, the mountains are still peaceful and free. Everyone lives next to each other from generation to generation, and many of them are related by marriage, so they don’t have so many door-to-door views. It’s a bit like a big village built on the mountain. , the owners of the family gathered together to discuss, but when the negotiation failed, they went to the "village chief" to make a ruling.
The "village chief" is Nan Dao Li Zheng.
But it's also funny, Li Zheng is afraid that he can't tell how he was detained on this day.
He seems to be a friendly person, but he doesn't really like to meddle in so many trivial things. Apart from pondering over his own knife, he also likes to cook at home and play with his children - not only his own children, but also the whole Shu The kids in the middle of nowhere like to go to Li's house, either to eat, or to gather together to play games.
When Li Jinrong was a child, he didn't like so many hozens on his own territory. He got angry a few times, but failed, he simply led his younger brother to find and beat the children who were running around in the entire Shu Mountain one by one. Since then, he has become famous, inexplicably. Become the king of children of a generation, there is a strong tendency to speak out.
When Zhou Yitang followed Li Zheng into Shu, he was only eight years old. He was completely at a loss. In front of him was the endless green hills and the long tortuous roads. The grass and trees covering the sky grew out of control. Occasionally something climbed in the bushes, which would be scary. Jumping, looking closely and disappearing, can't help but bring a bit of a mysterious atmosphere. On the way, the rain and rain are irregular, and the moisture is always lingering around, just like the scene that the ancients said "the thunder fills the rain, and the chirp chirp chirps in the night".
He tried his best to hide his cowardice, which was still a child, and pretended to be an adult to talk to Li Zheng. He politely called him "Uncle Shi". No matter how dangerous the road was, he had to grit his teeth and walk by himself. If he pulled him or helped him in the middle of the expedition, he would have to thank him in a serious manner. Nan Dao Li Daxia, who is used to seeing wild children in the mountains, has a headache.
After walking for an unknown time, Li Zheng just turned around and smiled at him: "This is it."
He said that it didn't take long, and soon there were traces of people. There were groups of teenagers practicing guns in the open space. While practicing, they screamed, and the birds flew in the valley. When they saw the two of them passing by, they uniformly shot their long guns. , shouted in unison: "Hello Uncle Li!"
This question was like the "mighty" that the yamen in the government office called "Mighty".
Going forward, I also met a few men dressed as woodcutters, and they greeted Li Zheng with a smile. The "woodsmen" all pulled up the cuffs of their trousers and carried a half-height basket on their backs. They looked simple and honest. Then Zhou Yitang turned his head and watched helplessly as these "simple woodcutters" jumped up the cliff one by one, like wings on their backs, and disappeared into the mountains in a blink of an eye. Before Zhou Yitang was surprised, he saw a woman surrounded by several children. The woman had a kind face and was taking out sweets and cakes from a small bamboo basket to distribute to the children. The next moment, there was a sudden flash of sword light in her hand, Zhou Yitang didn't have time to figure out what it was, the extremely thin light had already been retracted into the sheath - a dead scorpion fell from a nearby tree.
Zhou Yitang was born in Zhongming Dingshi's family.
He is from a young master. He has only read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. He has never had contact with those high-level martial arts people. Stepping into the middle of Shu, he seems to have come to a fantasy full of words. , I always thought that they had to follow their own stunts.
Suddenly, Li Zheng raised his head and said, "Jin Rong, she is naughty, she still won't come down!"
Zhou Yitang was taken aback, and following his gaze, he saw a large branch several feet high, with a handful of thick branches and leaves rustling for a moment, and then split in two, revealing a little girl.
She looked smaller than Zhou Yitang herself, her face was very delicate, she stared at a pair of big almond-core eyes, and swept her gaze condescendingly.
Zhou Yitang's heart was almost tense, and she subconsciously straightened her shoulders and backs, and then she couldn't help but worry in her heart, afraid that she would fall from such a high place.
Li Zheng stretched out his hand towards the girl and said, "Dad is back, come down and meet your brother Zhou."
When the girl heard the sound, she seemed a little sullen for no apparent reason, and ignored her, she turned and jumped down.
Zhou Yitang couldn't help but exclaimed, only to see her dangling in the air, and then her toes hooked on a slightly lower branch, and she landed on another tree familiarly and gracefully. Zhou Yitang glanced at the little white face who had never seen the world before, turned and disappeared into the thick bushes.
However, although Zhou Yitang lived in Li's house, he didn't have the opportunity to talk to Li Jinrong at first. He also practiced martial arts with Li Zheng, but because he had no foundation before, he could only start from recognizing acupoints and piles, and he could not learn a single place with Li's siblings. Although they could meet them during dinner, Li Jinrong seemed to be displeased by the sudden presence of such an outsider in her family, and was too lazy to look at him. The young Zhou Yitang was very sensitive and did not dare to disturb her.
Zhou Yitang was enlightened early, he has read most of the four books, and he seems to have the air of a little gentleman, and when he was young, when his family changed a lot, he was often overthinking, and he was like a wild monkey running around the mountains. Tong can't play anywhere, except for the time he spends studying with Li Zheng, most of the time he just sits in his room and reads a book. He occasionally hears noises. Looking out from the window lattice, he can always see the little girl with a strange expression on her face. Patiently surrounded by a large group of children, or asking her to play, or trying her hand in the yard.
Zhou Yitang felt a faint envy in his heart, but he only dared to watch silently from a distance. He thought about countless opening remarks, and he was overthrown countless times by himself. In the end, he still didn't dare to go up and talk to the girl.
In a blink of an eye, Zhou Yitang lived out of place in the green field of Shu for more than two months, and was unknowingly hated by other children in the mountains—why do they usually look at Boss Li's face every time they go there? A gregarious little white face can live in Uncle Li's house every day
The bad boys began to hold back their bad ideas. They sent someone to go to Zhou Yitang's window and lied to him that "they are going to go to the barren mountains at night and hunt birds to eat" and asked him to come with him.
Zhou Yitang had no interest in going with a group of mud monkeys to harass the birds.
The troublemaker was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to realize who "Miss Li" was. He was almost flipped off the wall by the sour name, and said, "Go! Go! How can we miss our boss Li?"
Zhou Yitang, the ghost envoy, agreed.
That was really one of the biggest stains in the life of the ingenious Mr. Gan Tang. Years later, he still thinks it is unbelievable.
Li Zheng happened to be absent that day. When night fell, Zhou Yitang went out according to the pre-appointed appointment with those troublemakers. He heard that Li Jinrong would go with him, so he couldn't help shaking in front of her door, trying to find an excuse. Going together, who knew that Li Jinrong never showed up, but he was cowardly and weak, and he didn't even dare to knock on the door, so he was dragged away by the monkey cub who came to urge him.
Zhou Yitang couldn't help but said, "It's not that she also..."
These monkey spirits in the mountains are a little cautious. At a glance, they can see that this little scholar does not dare to talk to Li Jinrong at all, so he rolled his eyes and deliberately said: "Boss Li has something else to do, and we will make peace with us later... or Are you going to talk to her?"
Sure enough, after listening to the latter sentence, the little scholar froze on the spot and dared not express any objection, and was dragged away in a blink of an eye.

The three childhood sweethearts [2]
As soon as they left, a small head protruded from the wall, and looked at it suspiciously, then jumped down like a big cat, stretched, and walked slowly to the front of Li Jinrong's courtyard. With a long voice and a long snot, he said, "Sister—"
This little thing is Li Erlang Jin Feng, who was born half an hour later than Li Jinrong, and his sister seems to be born from two mothers' wombs.
Li Erlang has a big head and a head, and he has been very "prudential" since he was a child. When adults talk, other children will run away because of boredom. Only this freak listens next to him, and often nods his head in a serious manner, as if others He seemed to know what he said.
Before the age of five, Li Erlang once won the crown of the first joke in Shu.
Every time Li Jinrong sees this younger brother, she is so anxious to kick his ass, she is practicing swordsmanship at this moment, and she is too lazy to open the door for him, so she just says, "What?"
Li Erlang calmly sniffed a pair of snot that would never dry out, and said at the door, "Oh, I just saw that nerd fooled away by Heihu."
"Black Tiger" is a famous troublemaker in Shu. He is not as mighty and majestic as his nickname, a little thin, but he is a natural bad embryo, and he can pour out more than two taels of bad soup with a poke.
Once, it broke Li Erlang's head and was caught and beaten by Li Jinrong. He was chained to a cliff and hanged for two days. He was so scared that he urinated his pants. Since then, he has been honest for half a year. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, Heihu wilted for a while, recognized Li Jinrong as the boss, and immediately saw that the boss didn't seem to care about him, so he turned over and jumped again, and continued to make waves in the same place.
What about gathering a crowd to fight, gathering a bunch of scumbags to bully those who don't fit in the group, robbing children for food... and so on.
It's just that a group of people who beat this kind of thing, although they were very angry at the time, told the adults later that the designation of beating people was not worth it, so they tricked the single person into a small barren mountain where no one went, and turned into a black tiger. The usual tricks - there are few people and the terrain is strange, it is very easy to get lost, and adults generally don't go there.
Heihu's father raised a big wolf dog. It looks very ferocious, but his temperament is very gentle and obedient. Heihu and the others disguise the big wolf dog in advance every time. Hang a circle of chicken feathers on it, and then put on the "clothes" of old armor pieces, and dress up as a monster.
When the person was led into the depths of the barren mountain, he asked the troublemaker who was in ambush there to release the dog quietly, and told it to run wild, specifically chasing the person they wanted to rectify. At that time, there will be narrow roads in the barren hills, no one will be there in the middle of the night, and the days will not be answered, and the ground will not work. A child, even afraid of getting lost again, is chasing a "monster" screaming "Ouch"...
Not to mention the taste.
It is said that a child who has been treated like this will cry in terror, or go back to having a nightmare of the previous year. And usually too scared to stumble over the complaint.
Li Jinrong was quite surprised to hear Erlang's tip-off, and asked, "That surnamed Zhou is so stupid?"
Li Erlang asked, "Do you care?"
Li Jinrong shook the long knife in his hand impatiently, and said angrily, "What's the matter with me? Go to your father."
Li Erlang said "oh" and didn't mind being locked out by his sister at all. He ran off on two short legs. After less than a moment, he came back and stretched out his paws in front of his sister's courtyard. Knocked, and wiped off a shiny snot: "Sister—"
Li Jinrong came out in an angry voice: "What are you doing!"
Li Erlang kicked the small dirt pit at the gate of the courtyard with his feet repeatedly: "Dad is not at home, I'm going out..."
"That nerd loves to die, don't bother me!"
Li Erlang's expression remained unchanged, and he slowly made up the second half of his interrupted sentence: "... Can we go to Daddy's arsenal to play?"
The courtyard was silent for a moment, then the courtyard door, which had been closed for a long time, opened with a squeak. Li Jinrong didn't say that he was going, but just reservedly placed one foot on the threshold, and first reprimanded Erlang with a high-sounding voice, "How are you doing? Want to play at night?"
Li Erlang blinked back at her with a pair of big ignorant eyes.
Li Jinrong thought about it for a while, and waved her hand as if "very unhappy": "Forget it, let's go."
Li Zheng goes out and only hangs a simple and unpretentious long knife, but he has some small hobbies in private and often collects some interesting "weapons".
In his warehouse, there are strange knives that are bent from front to back, left and right, and their bodies look like water waves rolling through them; there are "sticks" that look like ordinary umbrellas, but when pushed forward, they can "open" a seventy-eight flower. The bladed "knife flower"; there are also several iron squirrels that are back-to-back. They are very naive, and their big tails can move. If they are pulled down, the squirrels will squirt iron lotus seeds... But no one knows. Whichever spray it is, it is also very likely to hit your face.
There are a lot of weird and dangerous gadgets like this. Li Zheng usually doesn't let the children go in and play when he is at home. Only when he goes out can the siblings sneak in and scramble in.
And just when the Li brothers and sisters sneaked into Li Daxia's warehouse to show joy, Zhou Yitang had followed the black tiger to the back mountain.
His feverish head was gradually cooled by the night wind, and he asked Heihu twice "where to go" and when "Miss Li" was coming. I don't often give someone a secret wink, and I already noticed that something is wrong. When I look at the road that is getting more and more deserted, I understand most of it.
It's just that he was restrained by nature, and he didn't make a sound when he noticed it. Zhou Yitang first followed the Black Tiger silently for a while, then suddenly raised his eyes and stared straight at the Black Tiger, asking without going to the village or the store: " Do you all hate me?"
At this time, it was only a hundred feet away from the place where the dog was released.
A group of monkey children were busy winking at each other. Two bad boys approached Zhou Yitang calmly and made a "he wants to run" mouth at Heihu.
Black Tiger rolled his eyes, bared his teeth, and smirked, "How could that be? Don't you want to play with us?"
Zhou Yitang lowered his head slightly and listened to the wind blowing across the mountains. The little boy might have imitated adults a lot more, and he had a strangely calm and melancholy aura on him. After sobbing for a while, he calmly said to Heihu: "I have been restricted from going out since I was a child, and I have never played with friends of the average age. I have just arrived, and I have only just begun to learn martial arts. Sometimes I want to be with you. When I speak, I don’t know what to say, and I don’t mean to be negligent.”
Heihu smiled succinctly: "I know, you are the young master of a high official's family."
"I'm not a young master, my parents are dead." Zhou Yitang said softly, Heihu was startled, and then he heard him say again, "I've been able to afford it before dawn every day since I was four years old. Please say hello to the elders in the circle, and then go to study with my husband, send him off at noon, take a break, and do the homework left by him in the afternoon, write a dozen large letters, and when my father comes back in the evening, he will call me to go to the school for one day. What, after reading your homework again, if you are slightly negligent, you have to take a ruler and hit three boards on the palm of your hand. Then you have to face the wall and reflect on yourself for half an hour. After reflecting, it is already late at night. Unless the homework is meticulously written during the day , I can only avoid the 'thinking' part at night, and I can have a situation for half an hour, but unfortunately it is too late, it is inconvenient to disturb others, most of them are just playing with insects and birds..."
What he said made the children who were full to play every day stunned and looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to say. In the short silence, Zhou Yitang had already heard the rapid panting sound of some animal not far away.
"I've always thought that I can be like other people's children. I go to play in groups during the day, and I won't be carried to face the wall when I go back at night... Now I finally get what I want, but my father is gone." He walked After a slight pause, his expression did not change, and he calmly picked up his own voice, "It's rare that you are willing to call me out, even if it's just to play with me, I'm still very happy."
His voice fell, and he only heard the sound of "Ouch". It turned out that the person who was holding the dog heard the second half of his sentence and thought that the conspiracy was revealed. He panicked and let go of his hand, and accidentally released the dog ahead of time.
The "dressed-up" big dog was about the size of a foal, with a head that had been messed up by the bears and children, and happily ran towards its owner, the black tiger. The monkeys and children did not expect This change, have forgotten to pretend to be panic. Without them screeching and screaming to create panic, the atmosphere was a bit strangely awkward for a while, and everyone stared dumbly at the "monster" rushing towards.
It just so happened that the moonlight was good that night, and when I ran closer, I could see that the "monster" was wagging its big tail of flowers. Not only was it not scary, but it was a bit funny.
The big dog ran to the black tiger in a blink of an eye, sat down on the ground, stuck out his long tongue, and flatteredly waited for him to play with him.
Zhou Yitang said with interest, "Your dog?"
Heihu said mutely, "...Oh."
Zhou Yitang looked at it for a moment with interest, and asked, "Can you touch it?"
Black Tiger: "..."
He saw the "soft and weak" little scholar take two steps forward and tentatively patted the big dog's head. The big dog raised its neck and barked twice, sticking out his tongue and licking his wrist affectionately.
In the middle of the night, Li Jinrong secretly restored Li Zheng's "weapon storehouse" to its original state, and then stretched out a hand to his brother Snotling King, and ordered, "Take it out!"
Li Erlang pouted, and diligently handed over a small snake-shaped southern border flute that he had hidden in his hand. At this moment, he heard a familiar dog barking outside the hospital, and Li Jinrong turned around. , Li Erlang hurriedly took the opportunity to put up the little flute.
Just listening to the rustling outside the courtyard for a moment, a small head appeared on the top of the wall, pinching his nose and whispering to the courtyard: "Boss Li! Boss Li!"
Li Jinrong said, "What's the matter?"
Heihu didn't expect that she happened to be at the door, and was startled by her sudden voice, "Ouch" and fell from the wall.
Li Jinrong frowned, opened the courtyard door, and saw Zhou Yitang, who was rumored to be "abducted" by the black tiger and went to the barren mountain for remediation, all beard and tail at the door. There was a group of people around him kindly, looking quite friendly.
She glanced at her, Zhou Yitang straightened a little nervously, and smiled at her, Wen Wen quietly on the side, refusing to make a sound first.
Heihu jumped in front of Li Jinrong in two steps, and said quickly, "Boss Li, come here, guess what, we've only figured out the barren hills today. Brother Xiao Zhou said what kind of strange armor is there..."
Zhou Yitang said softly, "It's the Qimen Dunjia formation that someone made out of wood and stone. Over the years, a part of it has been damaged. It's just that it can't be seen clearly at night, and it's easy to get lost if you go in rashly."
"That's right!" Heihu danced with an expression on his subdued big dog, "I said why people get dizzy as soon as they go in, thanks to Brother Xiao Zhou's cleverness, he wrote the calculations and moved a few stones away. , it will be different immediately - yes, we still found a cave there, covered with thatch, and there are people in it, come and see it with us."
Li Jinrong: "..."
A few days ago, he was still "that annoying nerd", but he became "Big Brother Xiao Zhou" in one night!
Zhou Yitang met her scrutinizing eyes, but seemed to blushed suddenly, averted her eyes in a hurry, and reached out to scratch the neck of the big dog next to her.
A group of monkey children and a dog went to the small barren mountain in the night, and they found an ancient stone cave.
"I think these traces are about 100 years old." Zhou Yitang touched the scratches on the wall with the gleam of the torch and said, saying that he was a little annoyed, because in fact he could only see that the traces were old, "100 For more than ten years" is purely his own nonsense. His tutor taught him from an early age to "know what you know, and what you don't know is not knowing", but he can't help but talk in front of Li Jinrong.
Fortunately, he was too serious, and other stupid children didn't have the insight to expose it on the spot.
Li Jinrong came over to take a look, and asserted: "It's not a sword, the gap is too thick, like an ax or something."
Zhou Yitang's neck froze, and she responded vaguely. It took a long time before she dared to turn her head back, only to see that Li Jinrong had walked away without any hesitation.
The cave is actually very deep, the echoes are long, and there are some traces of people, but the age is too long. I don’t know which master who was in distress once set up a maze, settled here, came and went silently, except for some The silent traces of the knife and axe did not even leave a word. It was nothing to see. The children soon became bored. Li Erlang yawned and took out the snake-shaped flute that was secretly hidden. Blowing on the ground, I found that I couldn't make any sound, so I said uninterestingly: "Sister, let's go, I'm sleepy."
Li Jinrong was about to say something when suddenly, the dog of the Heihu family bared his teeth, all the hair on his body exploded, and he barked wildly. The ferocious barking of dogs echoed back and forth in the cave, and there were some indescribable stern meanings. The black tiger shuddered and widened its small eyes.
Li Jinrong stretched out her hand to hold down the long knife that she never left her body, and followed the dog's gaze, but there were dark lights everywhere, and she couldn't see anything. The dog's barking was deafening, and she couldn't hear anything. She "shush" the dog. However, the dog that used to be honest when it stopped drinking was actually disobedient, clutching its tail tightly, roaring "Ow Ow" in its throat, and scratching a few marks on the ground with its front paws.
An unprovoked chill rose up the back of her spine.
Zhou Yitang said loudly, "Don't worry about it, let's go out first!"
Li Jinrong held the long saber in his hand and waved at Heihu and the others, signaling them to go first.
The children were already a little scared at this time, and hurriedly led the dog to withdraw. Li Jinrong walked at the end, facing the depths of the cave, carrying the knife and walking out backwards.
Suddenly, the torch in her hand swayed violently, and a stench hit her face. Before Li Jinrong could see what the black shadow was in front of her, she was already able to put the long knife on it.
The next moment, she was hit by the thing and flew out sideways, the torch suddenly fell out of her hand, and a string of sparks smashed out. , revealing a vertical pupil shrunk into a slit.
The torch that fell to the ground rolled on the spot twice, and went out with a "huh".
