Si Hu Wu Yun Han Dao Chang

  He is called "Fan Hui Zhu", that is Fan Zhen, his position in the Xianghua Sect is Hui Zhu, and there are also positions such as "Chuan Tou".

  He was short in stature, but his muscles were strong and powerful, with a mustache on his chin. He turned to look at his companion, since they had been ordered to come here, they had been taking turns observing for five days, and finally figured out the pattern. Yu Guozhen would get up early every day, before leading the young men to run in the morning, he would first run along the west river to exercise his body, at this time, there was no one else by his side.

  So they discovered the heavy snow last night, and covered themselves with a white cloth hidden in the grass, a night of snowfall, and a thin layer was laid on their bodies. It was winter now, and the morning light was dimmer. If there were no accidents, Yu Guozhen would not have found them at all.

  However, the originally foolproof plan had a flaw - Yu Guozhen didn't come out for his morning run that day!

  "It's been a while since he came in the rain, why hasn't he come now!" Fan Zhen furrowed his brow: "Could it be that he has discovered something unusual?"

  "It's impossible! We're hiding here, a full two miles away from the Yu family's other courtyard, and it's nighttime, we snuck ashore quietly, he can't possibly have discovered us!"

  "What could be the reason?"

  Fan Zhen was turning over different ideas in his mind, just then the gate of Yu's family courtyard opened and a group of young men came out singing songs carrying shovels, baskets and brooms.

  The young men arrived at the Yu family in late July, and now four months have passed. They are familiar with all the rules and regulations, and a sense of teamwork has been initially cultivated.

  "What song are they singing?" Fan Zhen suddenly felt a stir in his heart, for the boys' song was sonorous and loud, stirring and exciting, making one's blood boil with enthusiasm.

  "The majestic China stands in the East, with a long history of civilization since the Yellow Emperor. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors left behind their virtues, while the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties expanded the territory. The dragon-shaped Chinese characters were unified, and the Han dynasty's military power reached its peak. The Wei and Jin dynasties' elegant culture still exists today, and the Tang dynasty's grandeur has not yet ended.

  Cang Jie created the Chinese characters, which made ghosts and gods weep. Cai Lun invented paper, shaking heaven and earth. Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Mozi, and Sunzi - a hundred schools of thought contended, with a hundred flowers blooming.

  There was Qu Yuan who drowned himself in the river, and Su Wu who herded sheep. There were flying generals with arrows, and Yue Fei's spear. The historian Sima Qian left behind his writings, while Wen Tianxiang remained loyal to the country. Li Bai's poetry was like a sword, and Su Shi's songs flowed like the Yangtze River.

  The barbarians may have had their moment of glory for a hundred years, but there will always be heroes in China. Zeng Gongliang entered the tiger's lair, and Zeng Bu destroyed the enemy state. Those who offend us, no matter how far away, will surely be punished - how could we allow petty people to mock us?"

  The young men sang the tune over and over again, sweeping the snow on the road as they sang. Liu Ruzi was wearing a fur coat, standing at the door looking this way, heard the tune, and a smile appeared on her face.

  This tune was brought out by Yu Guozhen, and although it can only be described as "good for boasting" in terms of poetry, it's not a particularly outstanding verse, but for young people to sing, it's quite suitable.

  "He said he had heard someone sing it before and remembered it, but why have I never heard anyone sing it?" She thought to herself, unable to resist humming along with the crowd. As a woman, her voice was also tinged with a childish tone, so she didn't quite suit this song, but she just liked it.

  It is worth noting that Yu Guozhen only brought out a semi-finished product, with complete lyrics, but the tune was somewhat awkward. It was Liu Ruzhong who made some changes to make the lyrics and melody harmonize.

  Thinking of this, Liu Ruo's smile on his face became clearer.

  A murmur of voices came from behind, she turned her head and it was Xiaolian leading a group of girls and boys from the family school, they also ran out with tools in hand.

  "What? You're also going to shovel snow?" Liu Ruo was somewhat surprised.

  "Yes, this afternoon everyone will be doing is shoveling snow!" Xiaolian replied with a smile.

  "Alas..." Liu Ruo Si said in a drawling tone, then snatched a shovel from Jiang You Zhong who was standing at the front of the group: "I'll go too."

  "That's my shovel!" Jiang Youzhong exclaimed, his neck stretched out in indignation.

  "My sister has taken it, you go get another one." Liu Ruo Si gently patted his head: "Next time when I learn more geometric drawings from Young Master Xiao, I'll teach them to you immediately."

  "Hmph, you're still learning geometry and drawing... Every time you learn slower than me!" Jiang Youzhong muttered to himself, then jogged back to the warehouse to fetch more tools.

  Liu Ruxi's face was slightly red, this is indeed her greatest shame. She who has always prided herself on being intelligent and studious, really lacks talent when it comes to learning geometric drawing, and is even slower than that kid Jiang Youzhong.

  It is worth noting that Jiang Youzhong's literacy was still taught by Liu Ruzi!

  It's no wonder that Liu Ruisi found it difficult to learn math, and the geometric drawings in math were even more difficult! Just thinking about angle bisectors, midlines, medians, perpendicular lines... those lines tangled together in Liu Ruisi's mind, making her dizzy.

  For this, she cried several times! She was also very strong-willed and once asked Yu Guozhen what the point of learning these things was if she wasn't going to become a Feng Shui master. Yu Guozhen's one sentence made her grit her teeth and pick up her abacus again.

  "What is the reason for the six arts of a gentleman having a number?"

  Yu Guozhen had strict requirements for these girls and children. Liu Ruyi was responsible for teaching them to recognize characters, Xiao Lian was responsible for teaching them arithmetic, and Yu Guozhen would also come to teach them some natural knowledge whenever he had time. The older girls learned slowly, but the 10-year-old children made rapid progress. For example, Jiang Youzhong could now recognize more than 600 characters and perform four arithmetic operations fluently, making him the most hardworking and outstanding among all the children.

  The father relies on the son, Jiang Youzhong will be commended by Yu Guozhen every ten days. This makes Jiang Quan also proud and went to Gao's house with a thick gift to thank Aunt Gao.

  The young men of the Home Guard worked efficiently and quickly cleared the snow from the road into the town, while the children of the Home School also cleaned up hundreds of meters along the riverbank where Guo Zhenchen ran every morning.

  Fan Zhen watched as this group of chattering children gradually approached their ambush site, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter.

  No Ou Guozhen came, but instead a group of little rabbits arrived. Although they were hiding very secretly, Fan Zhen understood that as long as the other party approached, it was impossible not to discover them!

  He was faced with a choice: to kill them all and vent his anger or to retreat quietly.

  No matter which option, exposure is inevitable. Fan Zhen knew that the master attached great importance to this task, and they had spent a lot of effort to kidnap him before Yu's vigilance arose.

  If I startled that kid, there won't be such a weakness in the future!

  As soon as he thought of this, Fan Zhen became frantic. His eyes darted back and forth among the family's children and daughters who were getting closer and closer: since they would all be discovered sooner or later, it was better to muddy the waters, kill a few people, rob a few more, and let the other side think that it was a gang of bandits, or even that it was the Taihu water bandits coming for revenge.

  He thought so and had an idea in his mind.

  However, just at this moment, Jiang Youzhong, who was walking in the front of the team, suddenly stopped. He looked at the place where everyone was hiding and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

  "What's wrong, Youzhong? Are you tired?" asked Xiaolian.

  "No, I'm not tired..." Jiang Youzhong bent down to pick up a stone and threw it towards the hiding place of Fan Zhen and others: "It must be Jiuhe brother playing tricks on people again, come out!"

  Jiang Youzhong was a bit stubborn and obstinate, once he made up his mind, even if his father used a slap to try to change it, it would be hard to turn him back. But his powers of observation were extremely strong, so at a young age he learned from his father the skills of tracking, he spotted the weakness in the grass thicket and suspected that Luo Jiuhe, who was somewhat prone to jumping out unexpectedly, was hiding inside waiting to scare them.

  The stone was thrown out and hit one of the men hiding in ambush right on the head. Fan Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he had just muttered "trouble" when the man who was hit let out a loud cry: "You little rabbit, dare to hit me!"

  A person suddenly jumped out of the bushes, and although they were still five or six zhang away, it gave Liu Ruo a big fright.

  Fan Zhen saw that things had come to this, and it was meaningless to hide again. Moreover, he had just made up his mind to pretend to be a bandit or a pirate and make a big move. So, he also jumped out: "Avenge Brother He!"

  He Erge is actually Taohu Shui Fei He Shan. He heard the news of Xiang Jiao and his identity was already investigated. Fan Zhen thought that by pretending to be He Shan to take revenge, the Taohu Shui Fei could kill a lot of people, kidnap two or three more, and perhaps cover up their true identities, then wait for the next opportunity.

  They suddenly jumped out and indeed frightened the children at home, and when they rushed forward with knives and swords, the children cried out even louder.

  Jiang Youzhong was the first to react, but his strong observational skills were not matched by his slow reaction in dealing with people. Seeing these fierce-looking men charging towards him with knives, he still hadn't realized what was happening: "If it's my sister, who are they?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Zhen rushed forward and swung his knife down mercilessly.

  "Ah!"

  At this time, Jiang Youzhong was scared to death and didn't even have the consciousness to dodge. Instead, Liu Ruishen behind him let out a shrill cry in an extremely high-pitched voice. She too was frightened out of her wits but still managed to push Jiang Youzhong away.

  Jiang Youzhong fell to the snowy ground, and the knife stuck to his body cut down, tearing open a slit in his clothes, leaving a bloody mark on his back!

  "Save me! Save me!" Liu Ruo shouted loudly.

  She let out a loud cry and rushed over to push Fan Zhen, Fan Zhen's knife fell empty, the snowy road was slippery, he stumbled slightly, and was pushed by Liu Ruo Shi with all his might, and actually didn't stand firm and sat down on the ground, even dropping the knife in his hand.

  The narrow path was originally narrow, and after he fell down, he blocked several Xiangjiao followers behind him. For a moment, those Xiangjiao followers slowed down their footsteps.

  Xiao Lian saw the situation was not good and shouted loudly: "Quickly run, everyone quickly run!"

  The children turned around and scattered, their small bodies agile, and they ran away with a few quick strides. The girls who were slower to react also came to their senses at this time, and let out a shrill cry in unison, the sound piercing enough to almost penetrate people's eardrums.

  Fan Zhen got up, saw this scene extremely annoyed, those children were out of reach, what he could catch was only Liu Ruisi who couldn't run fast. He picked up the knife and chased after her in two steps. With a sinister smile, he raised the knife!

  (Note): Friends who have read "The Great Song Dynasty's Golden Finger" may find this somewhat familiar. When I first wrote "Golden Finger", I personally composed the lyrics to "He He Hua Xia Ge". At that time, I thought that in praising our ancestors' culture and martial prowess, it would be difficult for me to come up with better lyrics than these. So, I made some slight modifications, adding a sentence: "The barbarian tribes are hard-pressed to have a hundred years of good fortune, but the Han Dynasty's prosperity will continue through the ages." Using this now seems fitting, so I'm being lazy - please forgive me.
