I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 507 In the Qinling Mountains
In the 31st year of Chongwen, a small news spread among many officials.

Song Mu, who had been rehabilitated, did not return to officialdom in anticipation of many officials.

Even after the crisis in Shiyang County, he disappeared with his wife and master.

Only occasionally letters flowed out, above were some articles criticizing demons, which were also published in "Tianxia Wenkan", which aroused the Wen Dynasty's shock, knowing that Song Mu was still majestic.

Some people say that this is Song Mu who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Now and then, he may be unwilling to participate in the disputes in the world and focus on pursuing the ultimate in literature.

Some people also said that Song Mu was entrusted with a heavy responsibility to hide his whereabouts and not be disturbed by demons through such methods.

Amidst the divergent opinions, the news of Song Mu came and went, leaving a lot of legends in the world.

And among them, other major events happened.

First, Princess Mingshu got married, the Empress Dowager refused to let her go to Zhongzhou, and ordered her to settle in Chang'an, but Du Feiying almost never returned to Chang'an because of the incident in the western borders.

At the same time, the friction between the Eastern Frontier Army and the East China Sea Monster Kingdom is even worse. The reason is that the frontier residents have a greater desire to explore, and the Monster Race also proposed to ban the publication of a so-called "Sea Food", saying that what it wrote would damage the East China Sea. The scenery is very different.

The Wen Dynasty continued to develop, and disputes continued all around, and the time roulette rolled for three years.

"Master, the tea leaves we roasted by ourselves, not to mention it really has a different kind of fragrance."

In a small courtyard in the forest, Song Mu was wearing a coarse cloth at the moment, holding a teacup and savoring it carefully, not forgetting to say a few words to Tao Fengming next to him.

At the moment Tao Fengming still looked old, he nodded slightly, but only took a sip, then coughed violently a few times, Song Mu hurriedly cared, but Tao Fengming waved his hand and said.

"Just a cough."

Song Mu frowned when he heard this answer, but he was even more worried. At this moment, he let out a few bursts of righteousness, and then prepared to go out to grab some medicine.

Gu Qingqing, who was standing next to her with a big belly, also came forward to help Song Mu with his ideas. Song Mu asked the two sisters-in-law hired to take care of Gu Qingqing and was about to go out immediately.

Just as he was saying this, there was a crisp sound in the courtyard, and he ran out in a hurry at this moment.

"Daddy, where are you going? I'm going too."

A little boy with a runny nose came out and immediately hugged Song Mu's thigh.

This is Song Mu's first child, named Song Huaitong, who is now three years old.

Song Mu has been here for three years. Relying on his status as a scholar and Tao Fengming's ambiguous status as a hunter in the past, he has settled here steadily, farming the fields, hunting in the mountains, and living like ordinary people.

When Song Mu did this, he naturally had some considerations, more because of Tao Fengming's current situation, and returning here also had the meaning of returning to his roots.

The small courtyard here is in this quiet mountain, there is a road going down the mountain, there is a small village at the foot of the mountain, deep in the Qinling Mountains, Song Mu is going there, grab two pairs of herbs with the villagers, Then relieve Tao Fengming's cough caused by physical weakness.

Song Mu put his son on his back, and Song Huaitong happily pointed to the surroundings and told Song Mu how he played with his playmates, how he rode a cow and played the flute, and picked flowers to cross the stream.

The child's laughter relieved the heaviness in Song Mu's heart. He listened carefully at this moment, with a full smile on his face.

Not long after, Song Huaitong came down to walk again on the mountain road, and walked in front to carry the "Three Character Classic" for Song Mu.

The sound of Lang Lang's writing spread, and Song Mu felt much relieved.

After all, it is the blood of the Song family, and Song Mu naturally taught him carefully. Although he is a bit naughty, he can still learn a thousand characters and can read and break characters.

As for the future, Song Mu did not make too many plans.

At present, the father and son went all the way down to the small mountain village. There are only dozens of households and hundreds of people in this mountain village. The village is called Datian Village. How pleasant.

Song Mu had just entered the village, but he found that the atmosphere here was a bit wrong today. During the busy farming season, there were not many people running in the fields, and there were not many adults in the village, only a few children running around in the village, calling Song Huaitong to play.

Song Huaitong looked at Song Mu, hoping to get his father's approval. Song Mu nodded, and he threw off his feet and ran away. At this time, a voice sounded behind Song Mu.

"Mr. Xiucai, you have come at a good time. There are important issues to be discussed in the village."

Song Mu looked back, it was the old uncle Niu in this village who could talk to Tao Fengming now, and this time he also hurriedly surrendered.

After all, Song Mu revealed his status as a scholar. He wore a scholar's headdress all day long, and the common people respected him a lot.

Knowing that Song Mu is Tao Fengming's grandson, he was more or less eager, and some hoped that Song Mu would win a job in the future and make Datian Village a little bit more honorable.

Song Mu also reciprocated, and took the initiative to teach the children in this small village to read and write, and he was respected by everyone.

The old cow uncle knew that Song Mu was here to get medicine for Tao Fengming, so he nodded and agreed to help arrange it later, and now he just took Song Mu to the ancestral hall in the village.

"A letter from the county government just arrived today. It seems to be related to the monster that appeared on the mountain a few days ago. The village chief asked us to discuss it."

Speaking of this old uncle Niu sighed slightly, then looked up at Song Mu and said.

"Speaking of which, the government's suppression of this matter is not clean. It is estimated that the monster was arrested and retaliated everywhere."

"Now it's the busy season of farming. It is estimated that the county government will send strong men from the village to search the mountains. This is not a good thing."

Song Mu was also silent when he heard this. In this remote place, it is not easy for the government to search the mountains, so it is natural to ask the familiar villagers to lead the way, but this monster is ferocious, and if ordinary people enter the mountains, it will be very dangerous.

When the two arrived at the ancestral hall, many villagers had already gathered inside. They all looked over at this moment, and when they saw Song Mu coming, they quickly cupped their hands, and one of the old men stood up and waved.

"Mr. Xiucai, it's fine if you're here. I'll have to trouble Mr. Xiucai with this matter."

The white-haired village chief was talking to Song Mu, and an old man with gray temples next to him also looked at him, and this time he also bowed his hands.

He is another scholar in this village, Chu Qigong, who is over sixty now.

Song Mu clasped hands with several people and sat down in the center of the ancestral hall. At this moment, he quickly asked his doubts, and the village head explained it.

"This matter seems to be tricky now. The government said that our village should send three people up the mountain to find the trace of the monster."

"We made a plan, and Lao Chu took my eldest son and Xiaohu to go. My son and Xiaohu are the most familiar with the situation in the mountains, and Lao Chu also knows, so we can be in charge at that time."

"Just like this, the village will lose some protection. If the monster turns around..."

As they said that, they all had sorrow on their faces, and they smoked their dry pipes. The village chief sighed and said something to Song Mu.

"That's why the rest of us think together, and we have to tell Mr. Tao to let you come to the village to sit in charge, but I don't know if you have used the Tongwen stele, in case something happens..."

Saying so, a loud but immature voice suddenly sounded from the side of the ancestral hall.

"Grandfather of the village chief, my daddy can definitely do it, he really knows how to fight monsters."

Everyone turned around and saw Song Huaitong, who was a tiger-headed tiger-headed tiger. They all laughed a few times and looked at Song Mu one after another, intending to ask for it.

They know that Song Mu is a scholar, and his literary strength is already something they think is incredible.

Song Mu naturally smiled and nodded, indicating that he will be in the village at that time.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then someone asked Song Huaitong jokingly, and Song Huaitong immediately said to everyone with his fists clenched.

"Grandpa Village Chief, don't worry, my father is definitely stronger than Grandpa Chu. My mother said that when my father was outside, he killed even the most powerful monsters."

Everyone smiled in relief, and then the village head told Song Mu about the monument in the village, and the arrangement was generally proper.

When Song Mu grabbed two packs of medicine from the village and went back, seeing that the villagers were busy collecting them, he frowned slightly at this moment.

Song Mu felt that something was wrong this time for a long time.
