Chapter 243 Want to Take Action

Shopkeeper Yu took a sip of tea and continued: "My daughter Bihe and Jinfeng's sister Yinfeng encountered bandits from Xicui Mountain during their autumn outing and were kidnapped by strong men. Fortunately, the groom escaped with his life and gave birth to a child. We reported the news, and when we reported it to the government, entangled our families, and went to rescue them, we thought we were already too late, but we didn't expect that the two of them were rescued by two lay disciples from Dalin Temple and escaped from the prison earlier. But the two lay men who saved their lives Disciple, but there is no trace."

Having said this, shopkeeper Yu glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, but Zhang Xiaohua was unmoved at all.

Shopkeeper Yu continued: "When our two families take our daughter home in perfect condition, we will naturally be extremely grateful to the benefactor who saved her life. It's a pity that she walked away in vain and passed by her benefactor. It makes me wait very much." My parents regretted it, so a few days ago, our two families discussed going to the most famous Shaolin Temple outside the city to worship Buddha and burn incense, in order to thank the Buddhist disciples for their kindness to us."

As he said that, shopkeeper Yu couldn't help but glance at Zhang Xiaohua again.

Zhang Xiaohu was naturally aware of all this, and did not express it clearly, but just listened patiently.

Shopkeeper Yu added: "Shaolin Temple is some distance away from Lu Town. When our two families arrived at the Shaolin Temple and saw that the temple door was closed, we realized that the Shaolin Temple seemed to have been attacked by a flying thief, and things in the temple were stolen. They were closing the door for rectification. , I waited for a day, but still no opening. My nephew must know that Lao Chan’s jade shop does not open for a year and only lasts for three years after opening. But the Li family’s tailor shop is different, and the Li family is a little anxious to come back, and Lao Chan happened to have a distant relative next to the Shaolin Temple. He hadn't moved around for a long time, so he took this opportunity to visit him. So Lao Chan's family separated from the Li family. Lao Chan's family stayed with the distant relative for a few days. When they returned yesterday, they heard that Li Such a big tragedy happened to our family.”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua didn't move even slightly, murderous intent suddenly arose in her heart.

Shopkeeper Yu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then continued: "After the old man came back, he heard the bad news before he even entered the door. The Li family's property was burned and the three members of the family were missing. The old man hurried to the ruins of the Li family and sent people to search for it. Sure enough, There was no trace. After listening to the neighbor's oral report, we found out that just the night before yesterday, a few strongmen suddenly broke into Li's house and kept asking for the two girls. Someone immediately reported it to the government, and the government sent people to come. Finally, those strong men said arrogantly that they were from Xicui Mountain and were doing things here. No one else should interfere. How could those weak officials dare to say a word more? A few strong men took it upon themselves to do it. Several big bags left, and before leaving, they set fire to the Li family's house."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table next to her. The table collapsed in response, making shopkeeper Yu tremble.

Zhang Xiaohu scolded: "Xiaohua, sit down, what happened the day before yesterday, it's too late to go now, listen to it first before talking about it."

Shopkeeper Yu trembled and said: "Two heroes, calm down. The old man also heard from the gatekeeper at home that on the night when the Li family was raped, several people came to the old man's house. There was a commotion in the old man's house, and no one could be found. When I left in anger, I thought that these people must also be looking for my little girl. Yesterday, I already sent my little girl to a safe place."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Zhang Xiaohu asked: "Shopkeeper, are you sure it was the bandits from Xicui Mountain who did it? And no bodies of the Li family were found in the Li family's residence?"

Shopkeeper Yu affirmed: "That's what they did. The Li family has always been generous to others and has a good reputation in the Sikeshu area. How can there be any unnecessary grudges? Moreover, those people keep calling themselves Xicui Mountain and even go to the old man's home to look for them. After checking the encounters ten days ago, the results are self-evident. In addition, I have searched the ruins of the Li family residence no less than three times, and indeed I have not seen any corpses. I think the big bags taken away by the strongmen must not only be money. Things, and people.”

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while and asked: "One more thing. I would like to ask shopkeeper Yu, how to get from Lu Town to Xicui Mountain?"

Upon hearing this,

Shopkeeper Yu quickly shook his head and said: "Two heroes, I heard that there are hundreds of bandits in Xicui Mountain. If you go rashly, you will definitely suffer a loss. You might as well be prepared and entangle the brothers in the sect and go together." , if we can unite with the government and send officers and soldiers, we will be even more confident."

Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is worried, we are just curious to ask. Maybe it is not possible for the strong men in Xicui Mountain to abandon the Li family halfway. Let's search all the way and try our luck."

When the shopkeeper saw this, he didn't say much and spoke in detail.

Then, the Zhang brothers left and were about to go out. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly turned around and asked: "Shopkeeper Yu, I want to ask, why do you call this place Four Trees?"

Shopkeeper Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized it after a while and said: "It seems that a long time ago, before Lu Town existed, there must have been four big trees here. This is what I heard from others."

Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Well, not bad, a good place, a good name."

Shopkeeper Yu was even more surprised. Why is this young man's thinking so weird?

How did he know that Zhang Xiaohua already had a plan in mind.

Shopkeeper Yu sent the two of them out, but did not leave. Instead, he took them to the Li family's house. As expected, it was in ruins. Even some of the neighboring houses were damaged.

Since Shopkeeper Yu had already searched, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua did not delay any more. After saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Yu, they mounted their bay-red horses and rode away.

Shopkeeper Yu felt even more nervous when he saw the bay-red horses the two of them were riding, and thought to himself that maybe Lao Li still had hope. Of course, he was even more relieved. If the Li family could come back, his daughter could also return home peacefully, without having to worry outside.

Immediately, he thought that his daughter Bihe and Jinfeng from the Li family had been childhood sweethearts since childhood, but when they grew up, why couldn't they be childhood sweethearts? Seeing that Li Jinfeng actually has two friends who are so good at martial arts, he will not be bullied in the future. He is really a candidate for a good son-in-law. But, how come his daughter and Li Jinfeng are so incompatible?

How about saying that he is the manager of a jade shop? This kind of thinking is really unreasonable!

The two Zhang brothers rode out of Lu Town. No one said anything along the way. They came to visit happily, but they didn't spend any money, so they felt quite depressed.

Speaking of the tragedy of the Li family, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think of the relationship between Li Jinfeng and herself. From the time they met to the time they became friends, Mr. Li had always maintained a good friendship with him, a young man from the countryside, neither attacking nor despising him. The word is a kind of relationship between teacher and friend, which makes Zhang Xiaohua feel the warmth of friendship. During the Chinese New Year, Li Jinfeng did not say hello to Zhang Xiaohua, but came to visit him. He even put himself in the position of Zhang Xiaohua’s friend. Just as Zhang Xiaohua's temper was very favorable to him, the Li family suffered a tragedy. Li Jinfeng was still far away in Pingyang City and didn't know about it. However, even if he knew about such things, a scholar with no power to tie a chicken, he could do what? Ask the government for help and go to Yucheng to petition? Please send Piaomiao to take action?

Every road is blocked for Li Jinfeng!

As a friend of Li Jinfeng, Zhang Xiaohua now feels a sense of responsibility. Since the Li family needs her own strength now, and she has the ability to help them, what should she hesitate to do?

So, Zhang Xiaohua shouted: "Second brother."

At this time, Zhang Xiaohu also shouted in unison: "Little flower."

Zhang Xiaohua saw this and said, "Second brother, you speak first."

Zhang Xiaohu pondered for a moment and said: "Xiaohua, I think you are thinking the same thing as me. Mr. Li Jinfeng is our friend. He is very kind to us. Unlike Yu Deyi and others, if there is trouble in his family, if we don't Help, not only are you an unjust friend, even this martial arts practice is in vain."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said: "This is exactly what I thought. Second brother, in this case, our troops will be divided into two groups. You go home to report the news and tell your family. As for me, I will catch up with Xicui Mountain soon. Let's see. What's the situation? Can the three members of the Li family be rescued?"

"No!" Zhang Xiaohu stopped him: "You said the opposite. You should go back to Guozhuang to report the news, and I will go to Xicui Mountain."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Second brother, of course I listen to you on ordinary things. But for today's rescue, you have to listen to me. You have just started to learn internal skills, so who is my opponent? Or is it? It’s convenient for me to take action.”

What Zhang Xiaohua said was true. Although Zhang Xiaohua did not fight Sun Yiding in the square in the morning, the martial arts he showed were beyond what Zhang Xiaohu could match. Even though Zhang Xiaohu knew that his "Piao Miao Divine Skill" was definitely better than "Piao Miao Divine Skill". "Mang Niu Jin" needs to be clever, but I am not just practicing. Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer. But if he just asked his brother to go to Xicui Mountain, he would be worried even if there were ten thousand reasons.

In his eyes, Zhang Xiaohua is still a child who needs to be protected by himself.

The two argued for a long time, and Zhang Xiaohua said angrily: "Second brother, what are we doing? Li Jinfeng's parents and sister are still alive and dead. Time is very precious. We should rush to Xicui Mountain as soon as possible. We are always here. Moji, are you worthy of Li Jinfeng?"

Then, Zhang Xiaohua said: "Since the second brother doesn't trust me to go, second brother, you have limited martial arts. To be honest, with your current martial arts, you can't even climb Xicui Mountain. Why are you going? Forget it. How about we go together, you stay outside to look out for the situation, and I use Qinggong to go in and find out what's going on?"

Zhang Xiaohu also pondered for a while and said: "That's all. Anyway, we have an eldest brother and a eldest sister-in-law at home, and we have left enough money so that they will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Besides, the eldest brother has a child now, and the Zhang family is full of love. We Let’s go to Xicui Mountain together, brothers!”
