003, After Cliff Mountain, no China? I have come now to change this!
Why did Zheng Fei do this?
Zheng Fei had just suddenly had an epiphany and made up his mind.
You must think of ways to befriend this Lu Zhishen and also the Nine-Striped Dragon Shi Jin, who is now in an unknown place.
The first reason is that Liangshan heroes have been Zheng Fei's idols since childhood.
Two is coming since he has already come to this Water Margin world, Zheng Fei had an idea.
Zheng Fei died of what?
Died of a broken heart after acting with courage and justice!
Zheng Fei didn't blame those who didn't help him and understood why that woman abandoned him and ran away.
The current social atmosphere is just like that.
When encountering injustice on the road, no one dares to stand up for justice and righteousness, not even to shout a stop.
But often after something happens, no matter who it is, they will run away with worries about economic burdens.
Not to mention the helpless behavior of encountering an elderly person falling on the road and no one daring to help.
When the "morality" we have always believed in from childhood becomes a "disaster" that everyone is afraid to avoid!
What a tragedy!
Zheng Fei died a tragic death, a death that was not worth it!
Looking back, the Huaxia nation was originally a passionate nation. Although the Five Barbarians' invasion of China made the Huaxia nation almost extinct and suffered its first major civilizational setback!
But at the most critical moment, the Huaxia people stood up and saved themselves as well as the Huaxia civilization.
After experiencing the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the successor of the unified regime of the Chinese nation that was re-established - the Song Dynasty, although it is the weakest dynasty in Chinese history, even the weakest Song Dynasty has inherited many great spirits of the ancestors of China.
From the chivalrous spirit of the people to the elegant demeanor of the scholars in the imperial court, everything is admirable!
Unfortunately, due to the treacherous behavior of Shi Jingtang, the ruler of Later Jin, who betrayed his country, the Song Dynasty was from the very beginning in a situation where it had lost the strategic location of the Yan-Yun 16 Prefectures, which made it impossible for the Song Dynasty not only to be directly under the threat of the Khitan people's guns but also to lose the direct support of war horses and other strategic materials.
This is not the end, after the establishment of the Song Dynasty through the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, its ruler, the Zhao family, seemed to have been intimidated by the ministers who made trouble during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. From then on, they began to emphasize literature over martial arts, and divided the country's military power into scattered troops, not only making the Chinese people's character change from strong to weak, but also causing the army's combat effectiveness to plummet!
But even so, the Chinese nation still has a strong creative power and established the richest country in Chinese history!
Zheng Fei often thought that the ancient Chinese legacy would have what kind of unity and bravery, even the relatively weak Southern Song Dynasty, when hearing that the Great Song had been destroyed, could have 100,000 soldiers and civilians spontaneously jumping into the sea to die for their country, this is what kind of integrity!
But when the Southern and Northern Song dynasties fell one after another, the Mongolian cavalry dragged Chinese civilization into a deep abyss of suffering. How many Han people were killed by the Mongolian cavalry? A rough estimate is at least 67 million!
67 million ancestors of Chinese people!
The Mongol army's massacre almost killed 90% of the Han people in the north, whoever dared to resist would be exterminated and even slaughtered! Directly leading to the demise of the Han elite.
Drive away the Mongols, the re-established Huaxia dynasty of the Great Ming is actually just a flash in the pan of Huaxia civilization. The entire dynasty's emperors are one more stupid than the other, from top to bottom they are conservative and arrogant! They have lost their conscience and gone mad! They are corrupt and decadent!
When the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the young emperor, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians also followed him to jump into the sea to die for their country. When the Mongolian army occupied Changsha, hundreds of weak scholars in Yueyang Academy fought to the death together with the city.
But when Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hanged himself, there was only one eunuch by his side...
The following Manchu was no better than Mongolia, with one hand holding a butcher's knife, slaughtering cities countless times! On the other hand, they were generous and directly turned the Chinese people into complete slaves!
You slaves! You slaves! The Hans were slaves of the Manchu for several hundred years!
The Chinese civilization, which has suffered two severe blows in a row, has finally lost many of its most precious things...
"After the precipitous mountain, there is no more China!"
Expressed the countless sorrow and helplessness of later generations!
(It should be noted that "After the mountain, there is no more Huaxia" does not mean that the Huaxia people became extinct as a race, but rather that the Huaxia spirit which had been passed down from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties was forgotten in the national memory of the Huaxia people. Therefore, what was lost was not the state of Huaxia or the Huaxia people, but rather the civilization and spirit of Huaxia.)
Zheng Fei thinks he is not a noble person, but when the nation is in trouble, every ordinary man has a responsibility! Zheng Fei wants to work hard to change all this!
Since all this started from the Jingkang disaster, Zheng Fei must quickly establish his own strength to prevent it from happening!
But to achieve all this, the first step is to first stand firm in this world.
And when he sees injustice, he lets out a loud roar. The heroic Liangshan heroes who take action at the right time have become Zheng Fei's first choice. At the same time, Zheng Fei also has a small wish - the tragic Liangshan good men, I'm here! Your tragic ending should also be changed...
"I apologize for the mistake, it turns out that you are also a good fellow." Lu Da's words interrupted Zheng Fei's thoughts.
Zheng Fei looked at Lu Da again, and saw that Lu Da had completely put away his previous frantic state, looking somewhat ashamed of himself. The term "A Ge" couldn't help but make Zheng Fei's heart feel warm.
Zheng Fei hastily said, "Governor, you have killed a small man, I dare not claim to be a good man, but just a small insect struggling to survive in this chaotic world, alas!"
Zheng Fei said with a helpless expression on his face,
"Brother, why are you so self-deprecating?" Ruda hastily asked.
Zheng Fei said, "Xiao Bai has lived for decades, but unlike you, sir, who was born and died on the battlefield, killing enemies and serving the country! Every time I think about it, I feel regretful, but all I can do is turn my youthful hair white, mournfully sighing, unable to be like you, sir, with grand ambitions, feasting on barbarian meat, laughing and drinking Xiongnu blood!"
Ruda was taken aback by the words, and then saw Ruda pat Zheng Fei's shoulder. "Good! A heroic ambition to devour the Huns' meat and drink the Khitans' blood! Although I don't understand what it means, I can hear the grandeur in it. How could someone who can say such things be a small insect? I've been stuck in this Zhangzhou City for three years without knowing that there's a good fellow like you here! Come on, I'll take you to meet someone."
Lu Da said and then pulled Zheng Fei to walk westward.
The two of them chatted freely along the way, and Zheng Fei, relying on his understanding of Water Margin, told some stories about the heroes introduced in Water Margin, which made Lu Da excited and even more convinced of Zheng Fei's "hero" identity.
Before long, the two of them arrived at an inn. Just as Ruda was about to lead Zheng Fei inside, they ran into two people coming out from within. One of the young men exclaimed in surprise, "Brother is here! I was just going to go find brother to drink."
Zheng Fei looked up and saw that the young man who was speaking had a handsome face, with skin as white as silver, and a vigorous spirit. The open collar of his shirt revealed a tattoo of a green dragon's head, which seemed to be alive.
Zheng Fei's heart skipped a beat, could it be that this man was Shi Jin, the Nine-Striped Dragon? If this man was indeed Shi Jin, then the man standing beside him must be Li Zhong, the Tiger General.
As expected,
"Ha ha, I was just looking for you. I have some news about your master Wang Jin. This is..."
Before Lu Da could introduce him, Zheng Fei immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists in greeting, saying, "Is this brother the Ninth Tattooed Dragon, Shi Jin, also known as Shi Dala?"
Shi Jin was startled and looked at Zheng Fei, seemingly... unfamiliar, but still hastily paid his respects, saying "Indeed it is I, may I ask how this brother knew of me?"
Zheng Fei burst out laughing, "Your master Wang Jin and I have been brothers since childhood. Lately, he often talks about you. My name is Zheng Linfeng."
Shi Jin was overjoyed and hastily asked, "So it's Brother Zheng! Have you met my master? Where is he now?"
"Brother Wang said that the high-ranking official somehow found out about him and sent people to capture him, so he fled east, but it's unknown where he went."
Shi Jin's face fell, and he sighed, "Alas, I didn't expect that after searching for my benefactor with such difficulty, I would miss him by a hair's breadth. I'll go look for him in the east!" Having said this, Shi Jin was about to leave
Zheng Fei took a look and said, "What's the point of going? I'll just wait for you to come back. Hurriedly, he added, "Brother, don't go looking for him. Your master told me before he left that this trip is to avoid pursuit, and he will use some special methods, so no one can find him. You know your master's abilities, now he has been gone for more than a day, I'm afraid he is already hundreds of miles away. If you change roads again on the way, where can you go to look for him? It's better to wait patiently, and if fate permits, you will meet again!"
Shi Jin could only helplessly nod his head, and then angrily said, "Old thief Gao Qiu, you are so ruthless, if I have the chance, I will chop him into ten thousand pieces!"
Lu Da, Zheng Fei and Li Zhong immediately comforted him with a few words.
The four of them went on to the wine house across the street and went upstairs to the elegant room.
Shi Jin introduced Li Zhong to Zheng Fei again.
As for Li Zhong, Zheng Fei didn't pay much attention to him. This man's martial arts skills were mediocre, and he was also one of the most narrow-minded characters in Water Margin. After joining Mount Liang, he formed a super narrow-minded duo with Little King Zhou Tong, both of whom could drink a bowl of wine for a humble egg.
However, Zheng Fei, who adhered to the principle of uniting all forces that can be united, still enthusiastically and deeply befriended Li Zhong.
After all, he will have a dead party called Zhou Tong in the future, and the two of them can also account for one-fifty-fourth of the good men in Liangshan Po.
At the banquet, Zheng Fei borrowed Wang Jin's mouth to casually mention the basic situation of Shijiayuan Village in Huayin County where Shi Jin lived, and "helped" Shi Jin recall his experience of getting to know Wang Jin, as if Zheng Fei had been present throughout.
Shi Jin found Zheng Fei's words to be entirely believable, and he completely trusted the identity that Zheng Fei had fabricated. With Wang Jin as a mutual acquaintance, the two of them quickly became familiar with each other.
As for Ruda, Zhang Ping naturally knew that Ruda was born to be a chivalrous person who hated evil and was very generous, but also extremely disliked petty people.
Luckily, Zheng Tu had a lot of loose silver coins on him, and after everyone was full from drinking and eating, Zheng Fei immediately rushed to settle the bill.
Lu Da was even more satisfied with Zheng Fei, and at the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Li Zhong from time to time, seemingly still resentful of Li Zhong's petty behavior yesterday, making Li Zhong feel somewhat uneasy.
Zheng Fei remembered his residence being in the west of the city, while Lu Da said his dwelling was in the east. Shi Jin and Li Zhong lived in a guest house just across from them, without even needing to move locations.
The four of them bid each other farewell in front of the tavern door.
With Zheng Tu's fragmented memories, Zheng Fei quickly found his "home."
Looking at the mansion in front of him, which was slightly more upscale than the surrounding houses, Zheng Fei felt a slight sense of unease.
Because from Zheng Tui's fragmented memories,
Zheng Tu's parents had long since passed away, and there was only an old wife in the house who had been married to him for seven years but had not borne him any children.
For this wife who suddenly appeared out of thin air,
Perhaps because there were too many memories, and some of those fragmented memories had inexplicably disappeared, Zheng Fei was unable to get any impression of her appearance from Zheng Tu's memories.
However, from the description of Cui Lian in "Water Margin", it can be known that this is definitely a fierce tigress.
"This confrontation was bound to happen sooner or later," Zheng Fei could only comfort himself by saying so, and he pushed open the door with his hand.
As soon as the door opened, the scene inside the house made Zheng Fei stunned.
Coffin
Temple of the Soul?
A group of people wearing white clothes?
What's going on?
Did I walk through the wrong door? Zheng Fei was puzzled.
A man in white clothes immediately came forward and knelt down at Zheng Fei's feet, crying.
"Master, you've finally returned! The mistress... she... the mistress has passed away from a heart attack! Waaahhh..."
Zheng Fei had not yet reacted.
Another person came forward, it was Zhang An, a clerk from the butcher's shop.
Zhang An said with a sob, "Master, you've finally returned! After I left you and came back to the butcher's shop, I heard that Mistress had fainted from heart disease. I rushed back to find you, but couldn't locate you. Then Mistress... she passed away!"
Zheng Fei finally reacted, his face full of surprise
This nominal wife of mine
How can you die without even meeting?
