Chapter 68: The First Jade Biography of Hu Family
Chen Yong and the other two carefully searched in the treasure house, but still did not find any martial arts secrets about Hu Yidao. There was no mark left by practice. It seemed that this was just a treasure guarded by Hu Yidao, not a place where he and Mrs. Hu lived and practiced.
It is also understandable that this cold place, which is also cold and sunless, is indeed not suitable for humans to live for a long time. How could a person like Hu Yidao let Mrs. Hu live here? It is estimated that at most, this place is a place where Hu Yidao and his wife are often taken care of. It is safe enough to have "Dawei and Xiaoting" care on weekdays.
Ping Asi still didn't give up. He carefully surveyed the treasure house again, trying to find a different place, but there was no result. After staying in this treasure house for a long time, even if there was no light of a torch, relying solely on the night pearl fixed in the treasure house, it would be enough to see everything inside.
Chen Yong and Cheng Lingsu had already left the treasure house and were checking everything outside. Even if they brought "Dawei and Xiaoting", they still did not notice it clearly. Chen Yong and his wife patrolled various places on the second floor with "Dawei and Xiaoting". When they arrived at the vertical hole on the first and second floors, they saw them climbing up to a layer of cave directly along the inner wall of the vertical hole.
Chen Yong and his wife looked carefully and found that there were footholds on both sides of the vertical hole. It seemed that there was no need for ropes to enter here. "Dawei, Xiaoting" was obviously much happier in the cave in the first floor. The two of them ran near the entrance of the cave and stopped walking out. They lay at the entrance of the cave, enjoying the sunshine, looking at the outside world, with yearning on their faces.
Chen Yong knew that these two big black bears were trained by Hu Yidao and his wife, and looked at the spirit beasts in the treasure. They could take care of them, but they could not change the fate of "Dawei and Xiaoting". Because it was obvious that Hu Yidao and his wife were not always guarding the treasure, and they must have a place where they lived.
Could it be in the Yubi Mountain in front? The two of them thought of somewhere at the same time. Because they wanted to enter the banks of the Gudong River, they had to pass through Yubi Mountain and live on that not too high mountain. They could indeed see the outsiders entering and leaving the Gudong River at any time. This is also a kind of protection.
Chen Yong and the others decided to go to Yubi Mountain to see where there would be any difference. They believed that there would be signs of Hu Yidao and his wife's life. Unlike this treasure, it was just a place where they were caring for.
The two bears entered the second floor cave again, and Chen Yong and his wife entered the treasure house. When they saw Uncle Ping Si still thinking hard in the treasure, they were obviously very distressed. Cheng Lingsu said: "Dad, how do you feel about this treasure? Do you like living here? Will you really be happy if you are with these gold, silver and jewelry all day long?"
Ping Asi said, "It's still too cold here, and we are all not prepared enough. If we can make a fire and bring enough warm clothes, I feel that I can still live here. How can I do this with such a big treasure house without anyone to guard it? I believe that my benefactor Hu, he lives like this too."
Cheng Lingsu said: "Dad, do you think a beauty like Mrs. Hu likes to live in this cold place all year round? No matter how many gold, silver and jewelry, it feels good to watch it for a few days. How can she not get tired of watching it every day? She doesn't want to have a romantic relationship? "Does she like to be a song to the moon, how much does life look like? What's more, I heard what you said, Mr. Hu is very good to Mrs. Hu."
Ping Asi thought for a while and said, "That's right, but we have basically traveled all over the forest land of the ancient cave river. There is no trace of people living there? Could it be that Hu Engong and his wife also live in the shack beside the ancient cave river? Aren't they both afraid of meeting ginseng pickers?"
Cheng Lingsu said: "Dad, you still haven't figured it out. Have you forgotten it? The map we got clearly indicates Yubi Mountain. I think Hu Yidao and his wife should live where they are. I believe that there will definitely be signs of Hu Yida and his wife living on the top of the Yubi Mountain."
Ping Asi said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go to Yubi Mountain together to have a look. If you don't get the news of your benefactor in one day, I, Ping Asi, will not be able to live a peaceful life for a day. I always feel that something is missing in my heart. Since you think of the top of Yubi Mountain, the three of us will leave now."
The three of them packed their luggage, and Chen Yong and his wife took out some gold from the treasure house and carried it on their backs in case of emergency. Ping A Si didn't say anything. He still agreed with Chen Yong and his wife's idea of using the gold and silver in the treasure house to help the poor people.
Just like yourself, if you don’t have public silver funding, your family will be destroyed. And if you take some gold and silver in the treasure house appropriately to support poor people like yourself, you can save more children from disasters. It is more meaningful than gold and silver in the treasure house, which is always lying still.
The three of them rushed to the bottom of Yubi Mountain together. Looking at the towering straight mountain peak here, Cheng Lingsu was also a little worried about whether his elder brother could reach the top of the mountain. Anyway, it would be impossible if it was him!
Chen Yong knew that he could climb this mountain by himself. The three of them rested overnight and arrived here slowly. It was noon. Changbai Mountain would not be very hot at any time, so climbing the mountain is the best time for a day.
Chen Yong packed up and was fucked by a rope, and then he began to climb the straight cliff. This mountain is really not something that makes people climb. A martial arts master like Chen Yong tried his best to climb nearly a hundred meters. It was still early to reach the top, but now he feels too late to lose his energy.
Chen Yong was in a dilemma when he suddenly found that there was a sunken place on the mountain, so he quickly turned over to the flat ground and had a good rest. Chen Yong hesitated for a moment, and tied the rope to a big tree, threw it down, and went down the rope first.
Chen Yong told Cheng Lingsu what he found on it, and then the two transported all the supplies to the sag in the middle. After working for a long time, they finally finished all this. The three decided to continue climbing the Yubi Mountain the next day.
In this way, after three days, Chen Yong finally climbed to the top of the mountain! In the past two days, he found two more places to settle down halfway up the mountain.
When Chen Yong climbed to the top of the mountain, he confirmed his thoughts. It turned out that there was indeed a stone house with five huge rooms at the top of the mountain. There was snow in front of and behind the house. There was no way that the snow on the mountain would not melt for years.
There were a few cedar trees in front of the stone house, facing the wind and snow, as if we were welcoming Chen Yong. Chen Yong knew his adoptive father's intentions, so he threw down a rope and pulled his adoptive father and his second sister to the top. Everyone had all prepared for it this time, so everyone was wearing fur coats and didn't feel cold.
The three of them entered the gate, walked past a corridor, and came to the front hall. There was a painting hanging in the middle of the hall. There was a general in the painting with a golden armor, riding a horse and whipping, looking like a hero! There was also a poem in the painting, which was the content.
"A piece of armor is rampant,
It is not easy to evaluate if it is full of dark yellow.
I am used to stealing the valley from autumn fields,
It is more like Ye Yue secretly stealing the camp.
The double ash is just a steel fork lift,
The eight-legged essays are as erect as a sword.
I'm afraid that fishing for the roe,
Catch the boiling pot and send it to the rest of life."
The signature is Hu Tianlai's graffiti after drinking...
Cheng Lingsu knew that the general in this painting must be Li Zicheng, the King of Chuang, and Hu Tianlai, who painted, was naturally the ancestor of her husband "Hu Fei". Just based on her skills in calligraphy and painting, you can know that Hu Tianlai, who painted, must be a versatile civil and military talent.
It can be seen that the Hu family's genes are really strong. With just one male, one can make the three families of "Miao, Tian, and Fan" uneasy! And just looking at the stone house on the top of the Yubi Mountain, you can see that the Hu family is indeed different, and this house is not something that ordinary people can build.
There has been no people in the house for several years, so naturally there are dust and spider webs everywhere, and people don’t even have their feet left. However, the layout here is quite ingenious, and it is obvious that it has been built by experts. It is no longer easy to build such a house on the flat ground, let alone on the top of Yubi Mountain.
It took Chen Yong and the other three days to clean the yard inside and out. During the process of cleaning up the house, the three of them naturally found a lot of handwriting, but the one that helped everyone the most was a biography, written by Hu Tianlai, the owner of the house.
Through this biography, Chen Yong and the other two finally learned about the grievances of the four families of "Hu, Miao, Tian, and Fan". All of this is related to Li Zicheng, the King of Chuang...
According to legend, Hu, Miao, Tian and Fan formed brothers of different surnames. They all joined the army of King Chuang Li Zicheng. Because of their high martial arts skills, they became the personal guards of King Chuang! The four of them were the guards of the Hu surnamed Hu, and the strongest martial arts skills and the strongest ability. They were called "Flying Fox" by the soldiers in the army!
Li Zicheng was very strict in his military administration, so he had the strength to defeat the Ming army. His army did not violate the people, attacked the local tyrants, distributed land, fought against evil gentry, and dispersed money and food. He just wanted to give the people a peaceful and prosperous era where they could survive! This led to more and more elite soldiers and generals joining...
But everything changed after attacking Beijing on March 18th! Li Zicheng forced Emperor Chongzhen to escape to the other side of Coal Mountain and committed suicide on a big tree. The only one eunuch who accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to commit suicide was with him, which was betrayal of his relatives.
Emperor Chongzhen wrote on his clothes with blood: "I have ascended the 17th year, and the enemy has entered the mainland four times. The thieves are heading towards the capital. Although I am poor in virtue and have committed the blame, they are all the mistakes of all the ministers. I die and have no face to see my ancestors underground. I go to my crown to cover my face. Let the thieves split my body and do not hurt the people alone."
Li Zicheng did not take it seriously after receiving the blood letter from Emperor Chongzhen. He moved into the palace that day and rewarded all the emperor's concubines to his brave subordinates! However, when Li Zicheng saw Chen Yuanyuan, he was attracted by her beauty and directly entered the harem!
Since then, Li Zicheng ignored the government affairs, but his generals were used to fighting against local tyrants and evil gentry, and offended all the civil and military officials in Beijing. In order to extract more gold, silver and jewelry, the officials were killed and injured.
Including Wu Xiang, the father of Wu Sangui, the general of the Shanhaiguan, was tortured and recovered the stolen goods, and his beloved concubine Chen Yuanyuan was even kidnapped by Li Zicheng and did not attend court for several days! Li Zicheng sent out to surrender Wu Sangui's edict, but he was granted a title of marquis and prime minister, and treated his family well!
However, on the way back to Beijing, Wu Sangui met his family who escaped from the capital and told him that his father was tortured for no reason and that his beloved concubine Chen Yuanyuan was occupied by Li Zicheng! The secret spy sent by Wu Sangui also confirmed that what the escaped family said was true.
Wu Sangui said to the soldiers behind him: "What kind of face does a real man stand in the world if he cannot protect his wife and children? Li Zicheng deceived me too much! If he does not attack this thief, I will not be a human being!"
Therefore, he stopped moving forward, led his troops and immediately turned back. He killed Li Zicheng's troops along the way until he returned to Shanhaiguan. Since then, Wu Sangui has completely broken up with Li Zicheng, and it is said that Wu Sangui is angry and is beautiful...
