On the wine table, the delicacies were steaming hot, and the chicken leg that Gou Shengzi was gnawing on was dripping with juice. This was supposed to be a moment for the adults to brag and raise a glass to celebrate, but the old beggar stared.
Start cursing.
Laojia was dumbfounded by the scolding. Although he was the only man on the table who dared to scold the old beggar, he wasn't so eager to make a few jokes during the Chinese New Year, right?
"W-what do you mean?"
He was feeling uncomfortable, so it was okay not to ask, but when he asked, something happened.
"What do you mean?"
The old beggar looked around at everyone and finally said: "You didn't leave your house this morning, right? I broke into the temple and came here!"
"Do you know what happened when we entered the city?"
"The Japanese army left in groups. Before leaving..." He suddenly took a breath and paused as if the breath had not come up: "Before leaving, pull out a whole team from the hospital.
corpse."
"I saw the corpses. They were wearing rags and were as skinny as a stick. Some were in their twenties, some were seventeen or eighteen, and some were in their thirties or forties. All of these people were placed in a kneeling position by the Japanese.
, bowed on both sides of the city gate with hands on the ground, and welcomed them out of the city!"
Buzz!
Xu Ruifeng suddenly had tinnitus in one second, and the entire lake became extremely clear in his mind.
The old beggar's description continued: "The Japanese were riding tall horses, and behind them were Japanese soldiers in neat military uniforms. Behind them, there were trucks, armored vehicles and tanks. The trucks were equipped with light and heavy machine guns and cannons, marching majestically along the city.
We walked down the street towards the city gate."
"well!"
The old harrier sighed and said nothing. Obviously, he saw this scene.
"Do you know what happened next?"
"The Japanese man riding a tall horse tightened the reins before passing the corpse and asked the horse to stop. Then he looked back at the rising sun behind him with an arrogant smile on his face."
"The people around him didn't know what he was going to do, and they started to gather more and more people. When the crowd was full, the Japanese suddenly said something in Chinese and asked, 'Today is the most important day for you in China, right?'"
The old beggar's eyes were red and he said with a trembling voice: "He didn't even wait for anyone else to say anything. He pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the body that was kowtowing on the ground - bang, it came."
When the old beggar described the sound of the gunshot, the old beggar's body suddenly trembled.
"He hit the city gate with one shot, one shot after another, then turned his horse and rushed into the city shouting, 'Anyone who resists the Manchus and resists Japan is like this person'!"
There was total silence at the wine table!
The old beggar almost beat his chest and said: "You are so classy. The magnanimity brought out by this Japanese man will probably make them go back and brag about it for a whole year, but do you know who those corpses placed on the ground are?"
"I asked about it." The old beggar almost lowered his voice and said: "It's the Anti-League. It's the resistance of the little devils who can't get supplies after the city is closed, so they eat grass roots and gnaw tree bark in the mountains!!"
"One of them has been beaten to death in the mountains. After they died, they had to have their bodies brought back to show off to these Japanese, to shock all the people in the city and let them know the consequences of resisting the Manchus and resisting Japan!
"
Snap, snap.
The old beggar stretched out his palm and patted his chest hard: "Here we are!"
"I heard that Mr. Xu, you made Qu Guang last night?"
"You also brought nearly a hundred prison guards with guns and live ammunition into the Matheson Bank, and in broad daylight, took over two properties, Paramount and Matheson Bank?"
"Then I have to congratulate you. I, the old beggar, congratulate you on making money every day and attracting wealth in this chaotic world!"
This should be the most dangerous time. When different voices appear in a team, especially when the voice is criticizing power from the bottom up, the leader of the team must reflect.
However, Xu Ruifeng didn't do this. He listened quietly. While listening, he put vegetables into his mouth and chewed slowly.
Seeing Xu Ruifeng's reaction, the old beggar didn't understand. He said these words under the stimulation of the bowl of suffocating donkeys. In fact, as soon as the words came out, cold sweat was already on his forehead. He faced
Who is this? He is the most vicious man in the whole of North Manchuria. If he is not careful, he will not know how he lost his life.
However, after this fear, comes anger.
What do you mean by the surname Xu?
Do you feel that the words we say are not worth mentioning, or do you think that because of your lack of status, everything you say is regarded as fart?
"Master..."
He raised his head and looked at Xu Ruifeng and said: "I have never regretted following you. Whether you burned down the police station as a joke or killed Zhang Hongyan as a joke, I think it's nothing. Jianghu people, what's the matter?
Big deal.”
"Do you know when I am most angry?"
"It was you who led us into the Japanese community and shot Bai Jianwu to death."
"What kind of living method is that?"
"If we don't like Japan, then we might as well not piss on him. If we can't stand it anymore, then we'll do it!"
"Man!" The old beggar gave a thumbs up.
"Later, I learned from Mr. Yao that you had joined the Blue Clothes Club. Oh my! I feel so relieved. It's more satisfying than taking out a bag full of silver dollars on the street. From now on, we have a backing
Well, our surname is Guo, a serious official, he can be regarded as a farmer in the morning, and he will be in the emperor's hall in the evening."
"You don't know how I lived in those days, Mr. Xu. From that day on, I sat under the wall on the street and used my eyelids to pick on people. How could they look down on me? I can scare you to death even if I change my clothes!"
"What you do all day long is your dream of being successful and giving your brothers promotions."
"But before I woke up from this dream, you entered the gendarmerie. I was fooled into thinking that this time I was completely finished. Master, why don't you pretend to be a mountain stream in my heart, and don't go to my ankles like this?
After tying the rope, I pushed the person up and down the cliff. During those days, I almost hired someone from all over the world to blow up the gendarmerie prison. If no one dared, I would have hired someone, and I would have paid whatever it took to hire someone.
"
"and after?"
"God is like a magician. I just turned around and you, the man who despises little Japan the most, became..."
The old beggar never uttered the words "traitor" anyway, but his state and indignation were clearly displayed.
"The first time I saw you wearing this black dog skin, I was so embarrassed. I wanted to give myself a slap in the face. How old are you? You still dream about wearing official clothes. This time, your dream has come true, right? This time, you can treat your ancestors.
Morality has been defeated, completely defeated."
Poof.
The old beggar sat up on the chair, as if he had collapsed: "My Lord, the old beggar has been with you for so many years. From this year forward, he eats meat in big chunks and drinks in big bowls. He lives a smooth life. Even if he is worried sometimes, his life
It’s such a pleasure; after this year, I wish I could shrink my head into my head and dare not recognize acquaintances when I see them on the street, for fear of..."
"Afraid that someone thinks you are one of mine and considers you a traitor?"
Xu Ruifeng suddenly raised his head, a bright light flashing in his eyes.
The old beggar straightened his waist with all his strength. He knew that his magnanimity could not overpower Xu Ruifeng, but he still said, "Yes!"
The old hawk immediately stood between the two of them and glared at the old beggar: "Are you crazy today?"
"This world is fucking crazy."
The old beggar said nothing since then.
Xu Ruifeng endured the scolding, looked at Gou Shengzi, who had a chicken leg in his mouth and had not moved for a long time, and said, "Have you seen him?"
Gou Shengzi nodded slowly, not knowing Xu Ruifeng's intention.
Lao Xu said slowly: "When you arrested Li Ge, you put the muzzle of the gun on his chin and without saying a word, he gave up. Isn't he a strong man?"
Gou Shanzi nodded again.
"But now he dares to point at my nose and expose my shortcomings."
Gou Shengzi looked around: "Uncle, I don't understand."
Xu Ruifeng put his arms around the child and put his palm on his neck: "You were frightened when you saw Li Ge. Do you know why? Think about it hard. When you can figure it out one day, you will be considered an adult.
Already."
The old harrier turned around and looked at Xu Ruifeng, with something faintly flickering in his eyes.
Lao Xu waved his hand: "No need to persuade me, I'm not angry, really."
"Not angry at all."
Since he put on this dog skin, Xu Ruifeng has experienced the days when his neighbors spit on him behind his back, he has also experienced the times when small businessmen and hawkers refused to sell his things, and he even had scars opened by that kid Gou Shengzi. He should be angry, he should be
