When Xiaowuzi went down the mountain, he saw the family at the foot of the mountain.
This is a single-family house with three thatched cottages and a small courtyard. The tents are neatly arranged. At first glance, the owner of the house is a diligent person.
Outside the courtyard, Xiaowuzi saw a strong man fighting in the field. His upper body was naked, exposing his tendons. He swung the flail so hard that it made a dull squeaking sound every time it fell.
There were two six or seven-year-old children nearby, a boy and a girl, who were sweeping back the pods that had been blown away with a broom. A woman was leading two four or five-year-old children to load grain into sacks. It was a gratifying sight that the whole family had harvested.
Xiao Wuzi had a sweet mouth and called out: "Uncle, I shot a wild boar on the mountain. It's quite big and I can't bring it back. Do you have a carriage at home? Help me pull it back. Let's stew pork."
When the man heard that he was hunting a wild boar, he showed a simple smile on his face and said: "There is no carriage, there are oxen, and there is a sledge. Is it far? How big is it?"
The people in the mountains of Kanto all have such a cheerful personality. As long as you say something, you will definitely help if you can, no matter what kind of benefits you will receive. Of course, those who ask for help cannot use people in vain, it is more or less meaningful. Especially those who hunt, needless to say, they must leave something for others.
The children were very happy when they heard that there was meat to eat. They went to work on the oxen and hitch the sledge. They worked very quickly. It seemed that they had not seen meat for a long time.
The man drove the ox sledge and followed Xiao Wuzi into the ravine. Xiao Wuzi said as he walked: "We were passing by and didn't want to hunt. We were just in time and ran into a big boar. It must have weighed about three hundred kilograms." My father and brother are watching from the mountain."
The three of them had made an agreement long ago and said that they were a family. Lao Haishan was the father, and Er Niu and Xiao Wuzi were his two sons. Er Niu had been raised in Guanli, and he came to join his father this year.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Chun Sheng saw that the wild boar was really big. It was estimated to weigh three hundred kilograms and could kill two hundred, fifty or sixty kilograms of meat.
Chun Sheng helped his two brothers load the pig onto the sledge. Xiao Wuzi asked Lao Haishan to sit on the dead pig. Lao Haishan shook his head, indicating that he could move around.
He was trying to talk as little as possible, otherwise he would cough all the time when he opened his mouth, so he would have to take a large piece of cigarette paste. This stuff can become addictive if he eats too much, so he had to eat as little as possible.
Xiao Wuzi and Er Niu both carried baskets on their backs. Xiao Wuzi bought them on Huadian Street. They contained guns, bullets, dry food and other supplies. They were covered with mugwort. No one knew what was inside. .
There were seven guns in the Erniu basket alone, namely, two from Lao Haishan, one from Erniu, one from the captured Lao Qiuzi, and three from the Taoist sect. They were all iron men and a bit heavy. However, Erniu has big shoulders and a round waist, and has plenty of strength, so carrying it on his back is not difficult at all.
Along the way, Xiaowuzi told Chunsheng that he planned to find a place to stay, and Chunsheng readily agreed. When he arrived at Chunsheng's house, Chunsheng talked to his wife. The woman also had a cheerful personality and said to the three old masters: "I'm going to clean up the West Room. It's been unoccupied for a long time and it's been used as a warehouse. You guys sit down for a while." , have a drink of water, I will clean it up in a moment." Then he led the two older children to the west room.
Chunsheng moved a maza to Lao Haishan and asked him to sit and watch them kill pigs and cut meat. This wild boar is not like a domestic pig that boils water to make it hairless. You have to peel off the pig skin, because the wild boar skin cannot be chewed and can only be cooked to make shoes.
Chun Sheng was good at this, and Xiao Wuzi had also done this job before. The two of them cooperated very well. In less than an hour, a big pig was cut into pieces of pork, and a big pot was set up in the yard. Cut some fat meat into the pot with a knife.
The two children were so anxious that they were crying. Erniu took out a handful of mountain red from the basket to comfort the children.
Xiao Wuzi discovered that these children did not call Chun Sheng daddy, but uncle. Seeing how affectionate they were, they were obviously a family!
When the yard was filled with the aroma of stewed meat, the woman also came out and asked Lao Haishan to come in and rest. She could tell at a glance that Lao Haishan was a patient. Then he lit the stove in the house, dug out a pot of sorghum rice, and started cooking.
When the pork was stewed, the children looked out happily at the door of the courtyard. After a while, a man came from a distance, wearing a ragged felt hat and carrying a basket on his back. It seemed that he was not very tall. Tall and a little thin, the children rushed out shouting daddy.
Xiaowuzi and Erniu were a little surprised. The man who came back was the man of the house.
Han Laoliu has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son and daughter are his, and the two younger sons are the sons of Chun. There is no need to shed blood to identify relatives. These four children all have one characteristic, they look like their father.
Han Laoliu was thin and small, with small eyes and a big mouth. His eldest son and daughter followed him, and they were not good-looking. The two younger sons are as beautiful as Chunsheng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. My wife Caixia is also good-looking, but none of the four children look like my mother.
When Han Laoliu came back, as soon as he put down the basket on his back, his two little sons rushed forward and shouted daddy in unison. Han Laoliu bent down and picked up the two little sons and kissed each of them, smiling from ear to ear.
After putting down the younger son and touching the hair of the eldest son and daughter, the children surrounded Han Laoliu and entered the hospital. They told him that our family was here and they also killed a big wild boar. There would be meat to eat today. .
As soon as he entered the hospital, Chunsheng greeted him, "Brother, are you back?" Han Laoliu nodded in agreement, but looked at the two young men. Chunsheng hurriedly explained that the three of them were passing by and were looking for a place to stay at our house. , they shot a big wild boar and were stewing it. "
Xiao Wuzi stepped forward, looked at Han Laoliu's hand, opened his mouth and shouted: "Uncle Liu, why are you here?"
Han Laoliu looked at this familiar young man without daring to recognize him, and asked: "Whose child are you? You look familiar, but I can't remember who it is."
Xiao Wuzi said: "I am Xiao Wuzi, from the palace minister's family." The basket in Han Laoliu's hand fell to the ground with a clang, his mouth was open, and he was trembling and speechless. With tears already streaming down his face, he stretched out his hand with three fingers missing and touched Xiao Wuzi's face tremblingly. He said in a hoarse voice: "It looks so much like him. The longer he grows, the more he looks like your father. I thought I would never see him again in this life, and he even said that I would support him again in the next life, and be buddies with that brother." As he spoke, he burst into tears. more than.
Xiao Wuzi knew that the father he was talking about was his own father, Liu Erlengzi.
Han Laoliu is not the sixth oldest, but he blew up the index, middle, and ring fingers of both hands while playing with explosives. He only has four fingers on both hands. He only has thumb and little finger when he stretches out his hand, as if he is competing with his hands. The number is six, so he called it Lao Liu.
Don't underestimate this wretched man with his small blinking eyes. This guy is an explosion expert. He has played with various types of gunpowder and explosives all his life. He is also familiar with all kinds of grenades, landmines and bombs currently on the market.
At a glance, you can tell which country the grenade is from, how powerful it is, and how to use it. It turns out that he is also famous among beards.
Han Laoliu is also a member of the Dianchen team. He is the first member of the Dianchen team to join the team. Several like-minded friends they are familiar with joined him. There are seven brothers in total. The eldest is Jin Douzi and his father, and the second is Han Lao. Sixth, the third child is a palace minister, the fourth child and the fifth son don’t know who they are, and they never mention it. The fifth child is the biological father of the fifth son, which is the origin of the name of the fifth son. If the father is Lao Wu, his son must be called Xiao Wu. These people are all bandits, and none of them are literate. The sixth child is Ma Er, the seventh child and the fifth child don’t know who they are.
Han Laoliu, like Ma Er, both have physical disabilities. When the Dianchen team defected to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Dianchen gave them some belongings and asked them to go down the mountain, because the rest were ready to fight the Japanese at any time. . Let them go down the mountain, firstly to take care of their disabilities, and secondly to leave a seed for the old brothers.
Ma Er did not leave, but went underground and worked as a traffic officer for the Anti-Japanese Federation. However, Han Laoliu really left and built three houses in this place surrounded by mountains and rivers, married a wife and had children, and lived a happy life. An ordinary person’s day.
In these days in the land of Kanto, there are more men than women, so a strange way of marriage has arisen - ganging up.
It means two men and one wife, and there is a notary public. At that time, they had to write down documents to clearly state how the family property would be divided in the future, how the children would be divided, and who would be buried with whom after death.
Han Laoliu's family is such a strange combination. This is because he has a hand disability and cannot do a lot of heavy work, and in the mountains, it is really difficult without a strong laborer. So Chun Sheng, a strong man, came to this house. Fortunately, the family lives in harmony.
Xiao Wuzi's hand was held by Han Laoliu's mutilated hand and he entered the house. When he saw Caixia making fire and cooking, he said: "This is your aunt, these children are your brothers and sisters." Xiao Wuzi called out quickly aunt.
The children were very surprised. Isn't this the big brother who came to find the car? Why did he become a real brother? No matter how many things there are, just come over and call your brother.
Chunsheng Erniu also entered the house, and Han Laoliu said to Xiaowuzi: "This is your Uncle Chunsheng, who is also our family." Chunsheng smiled and said: "You see, this is fate, you can find a family wherever you want to stay. people."
Xiao Wuzi introduced Er Niu and Lao Haishan again. He couldn't tell lies to Han Laoliu. He just said that Er Niu was his brother. He lowered his voice and told Han Laoliu that the cabinet in the room was the Haishan camp's cabinet.
Han Laoliu had never seen Lao Haishan, but Lao Haishan's name was well known. When I arrived at the West Room, I saw Lao Haishan. He put his fists on his left shoulders and raised his thumbs. "I've met the leader of Haishan, brother Han Laoliu, who turned out to be an old man in the Imperial Palace Team."
Lao Haishan had also heard about Han Laoliu, and he clasped his fists and said simply: "I'm injured, I'm sorry."
When the meat was cooked, Han Laoliu went to the yard and dug out the old wine that had been buried for many years under the roots of a small tree. This was originally intended for his daughter's wedding.
