Chapter 35: Mu Zhi shows off his belly and is a talented scholar
When Liu Yushun turned around, he saw three teenagers, dressed in blue cloth, looking at him with a smile in the grass. He knew these three children. They were the children of the Meng Chang family whom he had met the day before.
Meng Longfu, Meng Huaiyu, and a boy of seven or eight years old with a runny nose named Meng Jishan.
Liu Yu stepped forward with a smile and touched the heads of the children: "Why did you guys come to the mountains? There are tigers and wolves in the mountains, which is very dangerous."
Meng Longfu said with a smile: "Brothers have gone to farm, and we can't eat at home, so we just want to go into the mountains to see if there are any dead branches to pick up. By the way, Brother Liu, why are you wearing Tianshi Tao clothes?
"
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Yesterday at the Chiang Temple, there was a ceremony for the Celestial Master Tao. A friend invited me to attend, so I wore this outfit. Oh, your family doesn't seem to believe in the Celestial Master Tao. Your brother probably doesn't.
Go ahead."
Meng Longfu nodded: "Yes, there are not many people in the whole village who did not go to participate, but what on earth were you doing last night? You didn't come back until after the third watch, and everyone was mysterious and silent.
What happened?"
Liu Yu thought of the unique religious performance last night, his face turned slightly red, and he said: "Since it is a ceremony of Tianshi Dao, there is no need to ask more. You should go home early. When I was walking at night yesterday,
I also encountered long worms.”
Meng Longfu laughed: "What a tiger, wolf, and worm. If you meet Brother Liu, you can only take a detour. By the way, Brother Liu, what song did you sing just now? It sounds so lively. It's really nice."
.”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This is a popular folk song in the land of Wu and Yue. We common people have always been not looked down upon by dignitaries, so our ancestors composed this song to tell those in high positions that we are not easy to bully.
Yes. One day, if we turn around and become rich, those who looked down on us at the beginning will only be able to carry our shoes!"
Several urchins clapped their hands happily, and the youngest Meng Jishan sang along with the tune that Liu Yu had just played. He actually imitated it by 70 to 80%, which made Liu Yu feel moved. He touched Meng Jishan's head and smiled.
Said: "It is the accumulation of good deeds that most resembles Brother Meng Chang. He is really a scholar."
Meng Jishan laughed and said, "I want to be like Brother Long Fu and Brother Huaiyu. I will learn martial arts to strengthen my body and join the army to serve the country."
Liu Yu frowned and stood up: "Don't think about killing people all day long. Going all the way from the north to the south, it's not easy to come to Jiangnan alive. Look at Brother Tan's brother, he won't be able to come back immediately.
Here in the south of the Yangtze River, people value literature over martial arts, and they all like to play mysteries, talk, and the like. Your family's family tradition is to study for fame, which is different from others. From now on, you should follow the path arranged by your eldest brother.
Bar."
Meng Jishan shook his head: "As long as the eldest brother inherits our Meng family business, I want to practice martial arts and boxing with Brother Liu in the future, and protect the villagers like you."
Liu Yu's heart felt hot, and Tong Yan Wuji must have spoken his truest thoughts at this time. He patted Meng Jishan on the shoulder: "Brother Liu is telling you a secret. You must never tell others.
"
The three children nodded hurriedly, looking at Liu Yu with eyes full of expectation.
Liu Yu whispered: "I guess I will join the army to serve the country soon, and I will no longer be here in Jingkou. If you want to be like me, you have to listen to your brother's words. There will be many opportunities to become like me in the future."
There was a trace of disappointment in Meng Jishan's eyes: "Brother Liu is leaving Jingkou? Don't leave, we still have to practice martial arts with you."
Liu Yu shook his head: "My fists, kicks and martial arts are all learned when fighting with others. Jingkou is a man's world. There is no nonsense, it's just fighting. But you have to remember one thing, the folks in Jingkou are your own relatives, and you don't care about their lives."
We must protect them. Moreover, in Jingkou, you can speak with your fists, but you cannot kill people. If outsiders run rampant in Jingkou and want to bully us Jingkou people, all the old and young men in Jingkou will beat him up together!"
Meng Longfu and the other three brothers nodded vigorously: "We have recorded what Brother Liu said."
Liu Yu stood up and said: "Okay, today is the day of the Jingkou Fighting Conference. We come here every May 5th. This is probably the last time I will participate in this kind of competition in Jingkou. You guys have a good time today."
Look, look at how people in Jingkou use their fists to talk!"
Meng Longfu, Meng Huaiyu and Meng Jishan looked at each other and jumped up happily: "Okay, we can see Brother Liu take action!"
Liu Yu took his three children and walked towards Suanshan Township talking and laughing. With these innocent children, he felt much better.
The unhappiness has disappeared. I walked through a mountain pass and onto the official road.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. On the side of the road ahead, a round belly was exposed. It was so eye-catching. It was different from the dark skin of ordinary villagers. This belly could be said to be white and round, lying on the road.
The man next to me was singing loudly: "May 5th is the Dragon Boat Festival. Others are showing off their books and I am showing off my belly. What can I ask for if I am rich in learning and wealth? But my sorrow makes you empty of the shogunate!"
Liu Yu laughed, stepped forward and slapped the belly. With a "crack" sound, there was a bloody handprint on the big white belly. The owner of the belly screamed and sat up straight: "Good for you!"
Liu Jinu, can’t you just let me lie down for a while?”
The owner of this big belly is Liu Yu’s childhood friend and best friend, Liu Muzhi, who is known as Beijing’s slogan think tank. May 5th is known as an evil day. Generally, every household will take out old books and old things to expose them to the sun, but Liu Muzhi simply
He would go to the official road and expose his belly to show that he had thousands of books in his belly and that he was truly talented and learned.
Liu Yu said with a smile: "You have a new trick this year. Why, do you expect that if you show off your belly here, any high-ranking official will take a fancy to your talent? I advise you to give up this idea, Jingkou returns to Diao
Kui, you might as well go and do things for him."
Liu Muzhi rubbed his red belly and said bitterly: "If you want to seek refuge with Diao Kui, I can just go to him and ask for help. Is this necessary?"
"Recently, I heard that many of the court's most important civil and military ministers traveled between Guangling and Jiankang, or simply came to Jingkou to explore. There will always be some people who know something. Isn't it this way that Jiang Taigong took the bait and lured King Wen of Zhou? You take action
Why is it so heavy? It hurts me to death."
Liu Yu laughed: "Okay, you can continue to be your Jiang Taigong. I only used a pound of force and you can't stand it. Then the fighting competition will start. Isn't it going to make you cry?"
Liu Muzhi grinned: "I thought you forgot about this fighting competition. Well, it's getting late. I will still be on the ground to cheer you on this year!"
Liu Yu smiled and pulled Liu Muzhi up: "Let's go, I hope you can last longer this year. After all, you are a married man, so don't be too embarrassed in front of your wife!"
