Chapter 772 The Autumn Wind in the World, The Fallen Leaves of Life (Part 2)
The world is like the autumn wind, and life is like fallen leaves.
Some memories vaguely seem to exist in the previous life. The past life will leave traces in the present life, but there are not many. If you think about it carefully, it can be said that it seems like it has never existed.
In Wozhou City, Lin Chong lived quietly with his wife and children for many years. The passage of time will make even the tattoos on people's faces fade away. Since no one will talk about it anymore, they will gradually become even more concerned about themselves.
Ignore the past.
In this passing time, many things have happened, but where is it not like this? Whether it is the illusion of peace in the past or the chaos and restlessness of today's world, as long as people's hearts stay together and their hearts are at peace, no matter what kind of bumps they are in,
There will always be a place to go back to.
People are going to suffer in this world. After all, there is no real paradise anywhere...
"I need to buy the rice in the house."
On the morning of the third day of July, during breakfast, Xu Jinhua said this to Lin Chong. His child Mu Anping ate steamed buns nearby. Lin Chong nodded: "Rice has become more expensive recently."
"Outside, we are going to fight again."
"This is not the first time. We have been here since the Jurchens captured the capital, so everything will be fine. We have already surrendered."
"It's not peaceful outside." Xu Jinhua muttered. Lin Chong smiled: "I'll bring a cold melon back at night."
"It's expensive, don't waste your money."
Lin Chong smiled and nodded. After breakfast, an old catcher named Zheng came to find him, so he took a spear with a white wax pole and followed him to work.
Wo Prefecture is located in the north of the Central Plains, at the junction of the Jin Dynasty's forces and Wang Juyun's bandits. It is said that peace is not peaceful, and chaos is not a big chaos. Lin Chong works in the government, but in fact he is not a formal arrester;
The current situation is chaotic, and it is not easy to find a job in the yamen. Lin Chong has a weak personality and has no intention of getting ahead in these years. He relies on his connections to find this job to make a living.
After all, his ability is not bad, and he has finally been able to live a stable life in Wozhou City for so many years.
Inspector Zheng who was traveling with him was an official official. Lin Chong called him "Brother Zheng" as he was older. In the past few years, the two had a good relationship. Inspector Zheng also persuaded Lin Chong to find some connections and send some things.
In the end, Lin Chong did not get a formal public status to protect his future life.
He already lived a stable life, but after all he was afraid of the filth above.
"The matter of the junior official is about to be done." On the way to the Yamen, Brother Zheng was talking to Lin Chong about daily matters. His son, Zheng Xiaoguan, is eighteen years old this year. He usually learns martial arts and wants to work in the Yamen.
, cleared up the yamen's master, and finally found a better way. It was Qi Ao, the son of the Qi family, a wealthy family outside the city of Wozhou, who was recruiting generals. This Qi Ao's family was a branch of a larger family - once
The big families that are entrenched in Hebei and Hedong, headed by the great scholar Qi Yan, have taken refuge with the Jurchens, and now they still have great influence in the Central Plains.
Through such a relationship, it is a great future to be able to join the Qi family and work with the Qi family master: "Today, the master is going to entertain the Qi master at Xiaoyan Tower, and he allowed me to bring the junior official there, and also asked
I arranged a girl for Mr. Qi, and said she wanted a plump figure."
"Then go to Jinlou to find one." Lin Chong said. After being a policeman for so many years, he knew everything about the various situations in Wozhou City.
"We have to find a top star." Regarding his son's future, Inspector Zheng was very serious. "The martial arts school also said hello. I want to ask Xiaobao's master to ask Grandmaster Tian to accompany him. Unfortunately, Grandmaster Tian has something to do today, so he will go there."
No, but Grandmaster Tian also knows Mr. Qi, and has agreed that he will say a few kind words to Xiaobao in the future."
Lin Chong nodded. Tian Weishan is a famous martial arts master near Wozhou. He is also very popular in the government and the army. This is a relationship that Lin Chong, Inspector Zheng and others cannot usually reach. If they can use it well once, over there
A lifetime of worry-free life.
Amidst such discussions, we arrived at the Yamen, and it was another ordinary day of patrolling. At the beginning of the seventh lunar month, the dog days of summer were continuing. The weather was hot and the sun was shining, but it was not uncomfortable for Lin Chong. In the afternoon, he went to buy something.
After buying some rice, he spent some money to buy a watermelon and put it in the yamen. When evening came, the master asked him to work overtime on behalf of Inspector Zheng to investigate the case. Lin Chong agreed and watched the master and Inspector Zheng leave.
That night, a very unusual thing happened.
Sometimes we encounter such things in our lives. If it never happened, people would live their lives normally. But somewhere, it will eventually fall on someone's head. Others
People can continue to live simply.
This year is already the ninth year of Jian Shuo of the Wu Dynasty. The gap between the Jing Han Dynasty and the Jing Han Dynasty is long enough for people to forget many things. On the third day of July, Lin Chong’s life came to an end. The reason is as follows:
On this day, Chen Zeng, the master of the Wo Prefecture government, hosted a banquet for Qi Ao, the young master of the Qi family, at the Xiaoyan Tower in the city. After the guests and hosts had a great time and were full of wine and food, Chen Zeng asked Zheng Xiaoguan to come out and do a set of boxing to entertain him.
After the matter was settled, Chen Zeng sent Inspector Zheng and his son away. He accompanied Mr. Qi to the Jinlou to spend the rest of his time. Mr. Qi, who had drunk too much, got off the carriage on the way and wandered drunkenly on the street. Xu Jinhua took a basin and left.
He poured out of the room onto the street, and a few drops of water splashed onto Mr. Qi's clothes.
Qi Ao walked into Lin Chong's home.
When Inspector Zheng and his son came here, the matter was almost over. There were not many people living on the streets nearby. Due to the presence of Qi Ao's bodyguard, most people hid in their homes, but there must be some people who saw what happened.
. Chen Zeng grabbed Inspector Zheng who wanted to make progress. Inspector Zheng said: "This is Mu Yi's home."
"... Mr. Qi is drunk, I can't hold him back." Chen Zeng was stunned. In the past few years, he and Lin Chong had not had much contact, and the government's view of this colleague who had no temper was only "how many."
You need to know some skills." He thought for a moment and said, "You have to settle things."
Afterwards, Qi Ao came out of the house, staggered, arranged his clothes, and stumbled onto the carriage. Someone in Qi's house would be left to clean up. Inspector Zheng, Zheng Xiaoguan went in with the man and smoothly introduced what he knew.
Lin Chong's situation: "He is a person who doesn't want to cause trouble, but... he probably has some martial arts skills, is very strong, and has tattoos on his face. When he was still in the Wu Dynasty, he was a person who committed big things..."
"Then we have to find a way to deal with it."
"Alas... alas..." Inspector Zheng kept sighing, "I'll talk to him first, I'll talk to him first."
In the room, Xu Jinhua was dead, and there was blood all over the floor. The child Mu Anping fell on the floor in the room inside. It seemed that he had been knocked unconscious by Mr. Qi. At this time, Youyou woke up and turned around and shouted. Inspector Zheng went over to hug him.
Stop him: "Stop shouting, stop shouting, I am your Uncle Zheng..."
"Mother - mother -" the child's voice was shrill and sharp. Zheng Xiaoguan, who had some contacts with Lin Chong's family, experienced such a tragic thing for the first time and was still a little at a loss. Inspector Zheng was embarrassed and knocked Mu Anping unconscious again.
Handed it to Zheng Xiaoguan: "Hurry up, hurry up, take Anping to another place to take care of it first, and call your uncle to come over to deal with this matter... Mu Yi usually has no temper, but his skills are powerful. I'm afraid he will commit a crime."
He was so stunned that he couldn't suppress him..."
Zheng Xiaoguan hugged Mu Anping and flew away. He ran as fast as he called someone. Before the old patrolman could figure out how to deal with Xu Jinhua, Zheng Xiaoguan's hesitant voice came from outside: "Mu, Uncle Mu, you
...Don't go in..."
"Why don't you go in? Come on, I bought some cold melon. Let's eat together. You..."
Something stopped here.
It's not just sound.
Inspector Zheng couldn't think of what to say, and the watermelon fell to the ground, which was similar in color to blood. Lin Chong walked to his wife's side and reached out to feel her pulse. He timidly touched it several times, and Ang Zang
His body suddenly slumped to the ground, his body trembling like chaff.
"Fake, fake, fake..."
Then vaguely, he heard Zheng Captou say something. He didn't know what those words meant, and he didn't know where they came from. The world is like the autumn wind, and life is like fallen leaves. His leaves fell to the ground, so
Everything is falling apart.
Some memories, no matter how far apart they are in life, can always be as clear as yesterday. The high-spirited young man, the helplessness and grief after being framed, the humiliating tattoos, Gao Qiu, Gao Mu'en, wandering around,
Liangshan, in troubled times, the swords, guns, swords and halberds were stabbing at them, and they were fighting and iron horses. They were stabbing at each other from the gray screen in overwhelming numbers. Xu Jinhua and her children were lying in a pool of blood.
The erosion of time will make the tattoos on a person's face fade away. However, there will always be something lurking on the other side of the body like a tarsal maggot, where the backlog of every day and every year makes people feel...
Intense pain that cannot be felt.
"...This is not the first time these things have happened...Brother Mu is just like this...Marry another one, then marry a better one...If you think about it, we are all ordinary people. There is nothing we can do about it, not even the emperor."
Let the Jurchens be captured and used as dogs in the north. Brother Mu, this is not your first day as an errand in the yamen. You must think clearly..."
Among the countless sounds of collapse, the nagging noise was occasionally mixed in. Lin Chong's body sat paralyzed for a long time, then he knelt down and slowly crawled forward. In front of Xu Jinhua's body, a sad cry finally came from his throat.
, however, facing the body, he did not dare to stretch out his hand. Inspector Zheng dragged a quilt to cover the naked body. Someone came to drag Lin Chong, and someone tried to help him. Lin Chong's body shook and he howled loudly.
, not many people have ever heard a man cry so sadly.
The crying continued for a long time. In the room, Inspector Zheng's two cousins were supporting Lin Chong. Zheng Xiaoguan and others were also surrounding him. Inspector Zheng occasionally said a few words of guidance. In the night outside the room, someone came to look.
Someone left again. Lin Chong was helped to sit on the chair. Many things were collapsing, and many things were resurfacing. The voice made sense. In fact, there have been many more things like this over the years.
There are two of them. When Tian Hu was still there, it was not surprising that Tian Hu’s relatives were robbing each other in the territory. When the Jurchens came, more than one or two people were killed in vain. This was originally
In troubled times, powerful people naturally oppressed those without power. When he saw it in the government, he just felt, expected, and hoped that these things would not fall on him in the end.
Apparently such chaotic years have passed peacefully...
Why does it happen...
In the room, Lin Chong dragged Inspector Zheng who was walking over. The other party struggled for a while, and Lin Chong grabbed his neck and pressed him on the wooden table: "Where is it..." His voice sounded a little strange even to himself.
Can't hear clearly.
People around him rushed up, and Zheng Xiaoguan also came over quickly: "Uncle Mu, Uncle Mu..."
"Brother Mu, don't be impulsive..."
"Don't mess around, it's easy to talk..."
Many arms stretched out to push him and hold him back. Inspector Zheng slapped the hand on his neck. Lin Chong reacted and let go to let him speak. The old man stood up and comforted him: "Brother Mu, you have
I know I'm angry, but there's nothing we can do..."
The sky and the earth were spinning, and his vision was all gray. Lin Chong's soul was not in his body. He mechanically stretched out his hand, grabbed "Brother Zheng's" right hand, and tore off his little finger. There were two people beside him, each grabbing him.
One hand, but Lin Chong didn't feel it. Blood spurted out, some were stunned, some screamed and shouted, Lin Chong seemed to pull off a piece of dough and threw away the finger.
"Where is it?" A weak voice came from his throat, and there was a chaotic scene beside him. The old man shouted: "My finger, my finger." He bent down to pick up the finger on the ground, but Lin Chong wouldn't let him.
As he left, chaos continued for a while. Someone swung a stool and hit him. Lin Chong then broke off one of the old man's fingers and tore it off: "Tell me where it is?"
The huge pain made the old man incontinent. Someone punched him from behind. Zheng Xiaoguan also screamed and punched Lin Chong twice. Lin Chong looked at him in confusion until Zheng Xiaoguan shouted: "Mu Anping, you don't want Mu Anping."
Did you?" Lin Chong's dull eyes reacted. There was a mess all around. Some people were holding sticks and smashing them down. Some people were arrogant and slashed with long swords. Lin Chong waved his hand unconsciously, and the wooden pole exploded into several sections.
, the long knife also curled up and flew out. Someone's body hit the wall, and a hole was made with a loud noise. Lin Chong grabbed Zheng Xiaoguan's hand: "Where is it?"
"Being, taken away by Mr. Qi's people, they... they said... if you are willing to accept the money, I will give it back to you... Uncle Mu..."
Lin Chong let him go with a blank look, and went to see Inspector Zheng again. Inspector Zheng said about Jinlou: "There is nothing we can do, there is nothing we can do. The junior official has to go to his house to work, Brother Mu..."
Lin Chong nodded, and then cried again. He nodded: "Brother Zheng, you are right, you are right..." Then he pressed the old patrolman on the table, reached out to touch his throat, and pulled his throat.
He grabbed it and tore it off.
Zheng Xiaoguan screamed and rushed up from the side, bumping into Lin Chong's hand. However, Lin Chong's body was like steel and did not move at all. Zheng Xiaoguan got up from the ground, groped for a steel knife, and slashed hard.
When he came down, Lin Chong waved his hand, and the steel knife flew up to the beam. The blade penetrated through. Lin Chong pressed his head on the table and slapped Zheng Xiaoguan down. His head was dented, red and white.
Things flew out, Lin Chong struck again, and the head and the log table made by Lin Chong exploded.
Someone came from behind with a spear with a white wax pole. Lin Chong just took it and stabbed it a few times. There were no such things in his mind. Xu Jinhua was lying quietly underground. He met her carelessly and separated her so much.
He was also careless, and the woman couldn't even leave him a word at this time. These years of war and danger, he knew that those things might befall him one day.
But why does it have to fall on myself? If there is no such thing...
Lin Chong picked up Xu Jinhua's body, covered in blood, and walked out of the room, but he didn't know where to bury the woman at this time. When he went out in the morning, he said he wanted to buy rice and cold melons. What happened to the dying person?
They would have to buy rice, Lin Chong couldn't figure it out at all. And their son, Mu Anping, he has such a son, do they have such a son?
If this hadn't happened...
He was thinking about this, and in the end he only thought: Evil people...
the wicked.
Lin Chong walked toward the Golden Tower with blood all over his body...
…
Weishan Hall. On this ordinary day, the third day of July, we ushered in an unexpected big day.
Lin Zongwu went north and arrived in Wo Prefecture for only half a day. After meeting Wang Nanda, he met a local snake in Wo Prefecture. He is now truly invincible in the green forest, with both high martial arts skills and good martial ethics.
, he was willing to come, and Tian Weishan, who also had the status of a guest minister in the Great Guangming Sect, was extremely happy.
They watched a group of disciples perform in the martial arts hall. Lin Zongwu occasionally chatted with Wang Nanda, talking about the unusual movements in the north in recent days, and also asked Tian Weishan for his opinion.
"...not only the Qi family, but also several groups of big shots are said to have moved to intercept and kill the messengers of the Black Flag Army coming down from the north. Don't say that there are no Jurchens among them...it is possible to cause such a big battle.
, indicating that that person must have some incredible information..."
"If you can get it, it will be of great use." Wang Nanda also said the same. "By the way, it can also defeat the arrogance of the Black Flag Army..."
Lin Zongwu nodded: "This time I will do it myself to see who can cross the Central Plains!"
During the conversation, the martial arts performance below was still going on. Lin Zongwu glanced at it for a few times, and then smiled and pointed out the martial arts of a group of young people. During this period, Tian Weishan's eldest disciple Tan Lu also came back once to give Lin Zongwu and Wang Nan
Tuo met Li. On a hot summer night, Lin Zongwu gave some instructions and took a short rest. At this moment, there was a commotion outside and someone came in.
It was an embarrassed and dejected body, covered in blood. It was holding the body of an injured person with a broken upper limb. It almost pushed several disciples of Tian Weishan in. One person looked shaky, six or seven
The individual couldn't push him. With just one glance, everyone knew that the other person was a master. However, this man's eyes were dull, there were tears on his face, and he could not see the bearing of a master at all. Tan Lu whispered a few words to Tian Weishan.
: "... Mr. Qi had some misunderstandings with him..." In such a world, everyone can understand some of the reasons.
"Where is Qi Ao, where is Tan Lu, the villain..."
The man looked around and said something like this. In the martial arts hall, someone had already come over with a sword. Tan Lu stood up and said, "I am Tan Lu. Brother, you are serious..." He was responsible for handling the finishing touches for Qi Ao.
He arranged for his subordinates to wait in the Golden Building, and came to the master's side, just to prepare that the other party really had a lot of skills. Before he finished speaking, Tian Weishan waved his hand, and then said to Lin Zongwu: "Just kidding."
come over.
"This hero, I am Tian Weishan. No matter what conflict occurs between you and Mr. Qi today, I have the courage to mediate between the two of you. I also ask this hero to give Tian a face. If you have anything to say, please sit down and say..."
Lin Chong looked at the people in the hall and the courtyard, and looked at the powerful man walking over. The other person was Tian Weishan. Lin Chong had been a detective here for several years, so he had naturally seen him several times. In the past, they could not talk to each other. This
At that time, they blocked the front again.
the wicked……
His tears fell again, and the picture in his mind was always broken. He thought of Baihu Hall, Liangshan, the injustice along the way, and the kick in the chest by the master that day...
I obviously didn't do anything bad...
Why does it have to be me...
How can people live well?
Why does it have to fall on me...
the wicked……
Unknowingly, he had walked in front of Tian Weishan. Two of Tian Weishan's disciples came over, each holding a simple knife, trying to separate him. Tian Weishan looked at this man, and the first instinct that flashed through his mind was to ask him to raise his sword.
He got into a fist fight, but the next moment he felt it was inappropriate. With his status in the Green Forest of Vaud State, how could he make such an action immediately? However, the next moment, he heard the words from the other party: "Evil man."
"Ah!" Lin Chong opened his hands and rushed forward.
What broke out in an instant was an overwhelming pressure. The hairs on the back of Tian Weishan's head stood up, and he stepped back abruptly. In front of him, the two warriors holding knives in front of their chests could not react, and their bodies felt like they were being struck by a rock flow collapsing from the mountain.
They collided and flew up in an instant. At this moment, Lin Chong hugged the two people with his arms and pushed them towards Tian Weishan.
It was late, then it was fast, Tian Weishan kept retreating, the footsteps ahead were like thunder across the courtyard, suddenly, four figures rushed across most of the courtyard of the martial arts hall, Tian Weishan flew back to the edge of the courtyard
Beside the pillar, I want to turn.
The huge sound swept through everyone in the courtyard. Tian Weishan and the two disciples seemed to be hugged by Lin Chong. They hit the red wooden pillars supporting the eaves of the corridor like cannonballs. The pillars made a loud and violent sound.
It collapsed suddenly, and the tiles were smashed down. For a while, the field of vision was filled with dust. Some people were swallowing in the dust. It took a while before everyone could vaguely see the figure standing in the ruins. Tian Weishan had been completely absorbed.
It's pressed down.
The entire Weishan Hall warriors in the courtyard had never seen such a scene before. Even the members of the Great Light Sect brought by Lin Zongwu and others were frightened. Wang Nanda laughed loudly: "Okay, pick me up.
Punch!" The voice was bold, and he walked towards the embarrassed figure.
Lin Chong wandered towards Tan Road, looked at the person coming from the opposite side, and punched him. He stretched out his hands to block it, but still walked forward, and then he was hit with two more punches. The punches were very powerful.
, so Lin Chong blocked it twice more.
Why does it have to be me...
In his mind, there was Xu Jinhua's face, the living face, the dead face. They were together, they fled together, they built a home, they gave birth to children... It was like another life in fantasy.
Why does it have to happen to me?
How wonderful it would be if nothing happened... When I went out today, everything was obviously fine...
Lin Chong walked towards Tan Lu. The fists in front of him were still coming. Lin Chong blocked a few punches and stretched out his hands to miss the opponent's arms. He grabbed the opponent's shoulders, then pulled him over and bumped his head against him.
A headbutt hit Wang Nanda hard on the face.
The opponent stretched out his hand to block him, his fists danced like a screen, and then hit him again. Lin Chong walked forward, just wanting to catch Tan Lu and ask about the whereabouts of Mr. Qi and the child. He blocked the opponent's fists randomly.
After a few blows, the wind of the fist seemed to be endless. Lin Chong grabbed the opponent's clothes and then the opponent's arm. Wang Nanda staggered and twisted around, trying to get rid of him while fighting back, but his fist passed by him.
Lin Chong's forehead was bleeding, and Lin Chong's body was shaky and almost unsteady. He lifted Wang Nanda's body up impatiently, and then slammed it to the ground while staggering.
With a bang, all the green bricks on the ground nearby were shattered. Lin Chong jolted a few times and staggered forward...
The world is like the autumn wind, and life is like fallen leaves. Wherever it will float and where it will stop, it is all just a matter of fate. Many years ago, Leopard Head came here, and it was a bumpy journey. He finally didn't care about anything...
