Reborn as Lin Pingzhi, starting from escorting Daiyu to the capital.
Chapter 42 The White Horse Gallops in the West Wind
Everyone looked into the house and saw a woman with disheveled hair and a sorrowful expression on her face.
Ke Zhen'e's words stirred up the woman's painful memories, and she cried again.
Upon seeing this, Lin Daiyu quickly stepped forward and gently comforted her.
After some questioning, Lin Pingzhi finally understood the whole story.
It turns out that this village is called Chenjia Village. Half an hour ago, this woman was holding her child and airing out the quilts in the yard.
At this moment, a group of Western Xia Tartars passed through the village. Among them was a middle-aged woman with a rather pretty face. Seeing that the child was cute, she praised him a few times and asked if she could hold him.
Who would have thought that once the middle-aged woman picked up the child, she would refuse to return him no matter what?
The woman naturally resisted and tried to snatch it, but was violently pushed to the ground by the samurai beside her.
Hearing the commotion, other villagers rushed over to argue with the situation.
But the Western Xia warriors were fierce and brutal, and they killed all those who came to reason with them. In a bloodthirsty frenzy, the Western Xia warriors slaughtered the entire village and then set it on fire.
Ke Zhen'e said in a low voice, "I, Ke Zhen'e, just happen to be passing by. How can I tolerate these Tartars acting so recklessly? Of course, I must step forward and stop them."
It turns out that after Guo Jing and Huang Rong guarded the border, Ke Zhen'e had been living a life of retirement in Jiaxing.
He always enjoyed hanging out with street urchins, finding pleasure in drinking and gambling.
However, a few days ago, he had a run of bad luck and lost repeatedly, accumulating a mountain of debt. Left with no other choice, he had to leave to avoid his creditors.
Ke Baisui, the head of the Funiu Mountain sect, was originally his kinsman. Upon hearing that Ke Baisui had been killed, he decided to head north to find out who the murderer was.
After some investigation, he discovered that the murderer was Murong Fu, and prepared to return to Suzhou to settle accounts with Murong Fu.
On the way back, they encountered such a tragedy. Given Ke Zhen'e's nature, he naturally couldn't just sit idly by.
Bai Er couldn't help but ask, "So what was the result?"
Ke Zhen said angrily, "Of course, we are not as skilled as others."
Lin Daiyu quickly comforted him, "Hero Ke, don't blame yourself. At least you saved Aunt Chen."
During her conversation with the woman, Daiyu had already learned who she was.
Ke Zhen'e sneered, "Little girl, you don't need to comfort me. The reason Ye Erniang didn't kill this woman is to make her suffer the pain of losing her child."
"The wicked Ye Erniang?"
Chief镖师 Cui cried out in surprise.
Ke Zhen'e roared, "Who else but her would like to snatch other people's children? Although I, Ke Zhen'e, am blind, I still have some sense. I just didn't expect this villain to be colluding with the Xixia Yipintang."
Lin Pingzhi and the others exchanged glances and then realized that the group of people they had encountered not long ago were Ye Erniang and the Western Xia warriors that Ke Zhen'e had mentioned.
Ke Zhen'e continued, "I was recuperating in this house after being struck by Ye Erniang's palm. When I saw someone coming, I assumed it was a Tartar returning, which is why I acted rashly."
Everyone then realized what had happened.
Why didn't Ye Erniang and the others kill Ke Zhen'e to silence him?
"I, Ke Zhen'e, apologize to you."
Ke Zhen'e continued.
Lin Pingzhi quickly said, "Master Ke, it's just a misunderstanding, there's no need to apologize. Let me take a look at your injuries."
Ke Zhen'e was struck in the chest by Ye Erniang's palm. Lin Pingzhi used his internal energy to heal him and gave him some medicine. Ke Zhen'e's injuries recovered considerably.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Escort," Ke Zhen'e said.
"It's a pity those Western Xia warriors escaped."
With Lin Daiyu's comforting words, the woman gradually calmed down and said she wanted to cook for her benefactor.
Seeing this, everyone felt even more distressed.
However, the people from the Western Xia First-Class Hall were all on horseback, moving like the wind, making it almost impossible to catch up with them.
Lin Pingzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Perhaps we can get those children back."
He suddenly remembered that the reason these Western Xia warriors and the Four Evils went south was to keep their appointment with the Beggars' Sect.
Meanwhile, the Beggars' Sect members were in the Apricot Grove.
This place isn't far from the apricot grove!
"Young Master Escort, is this true?"
Ke Zhen'e grabbed Lin Pingzhi's wrist, and Lin Pingzhi could feel his hand trembling slightly.
Everyone looked at Lin Pingzhi, and hope rekindled in the woman's eyes.
Lin Pingzhi asked, "Master Ke, have you heard where this group of Western Xia Tartars are headed?"
Ke Zhen'e thought for a moment and said, "I heard one of their warriors say that he had to rush to some appointment, and if he was any later, it would be too late."
Lin Pingzhi's eyes lit up, and he said to Bai Er, "Bai Er, bring my little snow dragon here!"
Xiao Xuelong was the name of his white horse.
This horse is a famous steed from Ferghana. His maternal grandmother spent a lot of money to find it in Luoyang and gave it to him as a birthday gift last year.
Lin Pingzhi was extremely fond of this horse.
Bai Er said, "Young镖头 (Young镖头 is a nickname for a镖师, meaning镖师 is a person or group of镖师), are you going to chase after those Western Xia people? I'll go with you."
"I'll go too!" Lin Daiyu volunteered.
Others also expressed their desire to go along.
Lin Pingzhi said, "My white horse is quite fast. I might be able to catch up by myself, but if you all go together, you probably won't be able to."
Upon hearing this, Bai Er and the others had no choice but to go and make preparations.
Upon hearing this, the woman was both overjoyed at the prospect of finding her child and worried about Lin Pingzhi's safety.
Ke Zhen'e said, "Young Master Escort, please take me with you."
Lin Pingzhi hesitated and said, "Master Ke, you're injured, why don't you rest here with the others?"
Ke Zhen'e angrily retorted, "Young Master Escort, do you look down on a blind man like me?"
Back then, he traveled thousands of miles across the desert in search of Guo Jing, never giving up for ten years. This time, naturally, he wouldn't give up this opportunity to find his child.
Lin Pingzhi knew that Ke Zhen'e was always stubborn and unwilling to waste time, so he had no choice but to say:
"In that case, Master Ke, you will ride with me on the same horse later."
Ke Zhen'e's expression softened.
Bai Er had already led the white horse over.
Lin Pingzhi let Ke Zhen'e mount his horse first, and then he followed behind.
The woman rushed out, holding three steamed buns in her hand, and said:
"My two heroes, thank you so much for saving my son. I have nothing of value to thank you with, so please keep these few steamed buns for your journey."
Lin Pingzhi knew this was likely one of the few rations the woman had, but he accepted it anyway, saying:
"Don't worry, ma'am. Now that I've accepted your steamed buns, I'll definitely help you find your child."
The steamed bun was still warm; I put it in my bosom, and it felt cozy and cozy.
"Be careful, you two heroes."
As the two figures disappeared into the distance, Aunt Chen shouted loudly.
-----------------
Da da da!
The white horse galloped along the official road, its speed undiminished despite carrying two people.
"Young Master, this is a fine horse!" Ke Zhen'e exclaimed.
After speaking, he suddenly fell silent.
He thought of his third brother, Han Baoju, nicknamed "Horse King God," who was unfortunately killed by Yang Kang on Peach Blossom Island, along with his precious horse.
Lin Pingzhi said, "Master Ke, you flatter me. I hope this BMW can help us catch up with those Tartars."
Lin Pingzhi gently squeezed his legs together, and the white horse's hooves thrashed about, shooting off like an arrow.
He was terrified that his child would suffer, so he spared no effort.
The horse seemed to understand its master's feelings and ran with extra effort.
The white horse gallops swiftly, the west wind howls.
Ke Zhen'e felt as if he had returned to the desert, back to the days when he was desperately searching for Guo Jing.
Another half hour passed, and the apricot grove came into view.
Suddenly, a voice came: "Elder Xu, our general wants to see the Dog-Beating Stick Technique and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. You have a treasure to offer, but if you really don't know them, we don't have time to keep you company. We must take our leave now."
Ke Zhen'e, though blind, was extremely sensitive to sound and immediately exclaimed with delight:
"It's them!"
