When Tang Wan'er came back with the horse, Xie Tian was talking to Qin Fen at the door. Xie Tian had changed his clothes and was wearing a coat with a fur collar and a fur hat on his head. He looked a bit gangster.
In the past, Tang Haoer hated Xie Baoqing's outfit the most, but now, everything Xie Baoqing wears has taste in her eyes.
For such a long time, Qin Fen talked a lot about the principles of resisting Japan, but he didn't recruit a single soldier even though he said it, and he felt a little depressed.
Being a soldier these days is not a good job, there are bullets and bullets, and you might end up meeting the King of Hell someday. Only passionate young people and those who are desperate will choose to be a Qiu Ba.
Xie Tian recruited four soldiers this afternoon. Only Qin Fen was considered a passionate young man, and the other three were desperate.
Xie Tian smiled and patted Qin Fen on the shoulder: "Don't worry, just think of it as promoting the anti-Japanese war. Don't worry, in less than two days, I guarantee that you will be too busy. Someone will send food later, you accept it I'll go out to do some errands and won't be back until this afternoon. Now we have a culture here for you, so please keep an eye on me."
Qin Fen knew that Xie Tian was giving him a chance to stand out, but he didn't look excited and just nodded.
Xie Tian patted Qin Fen on the shoulder and walked up to Tang Hao'er to take the reins. Tang Hao'er knew that he couldn't persuade Xie Tian, so he could only tell him: "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."
Xie Tian smiled and hung the wine and roast chicken bought by Tang Haoer on the saddle, then got on the horse and said, "Don't worry, it's not far to the riverside. I'll be back in the afternoon at most."
Tang Haoer forced a smile and watched Xie Tian ride away on horseback and whip away from the dust.
The reason why Gaojia Weizi is called Weizi is that the Gao family used rammed earth to build a circle of more than five meters high earth wall around their house. The earth wall is up to three meters thick, and people can ride horses on it, just like a city wall. As long as the gate is closed, this place can become a fortress.
Rich people are afraid of death. Gao Kuirong is so rich that he built such a circle of bastard covers outside his home. He also hired more than 20 dealers to patrol day and night with guns on their backs. When asking for rent, these dealers Guests can also come in handy.
Gao Kuirong's favorite thing to do is to sit in the gatehouse at the main entrance of Waizi, drink tea and eat melon seeds. For this purpose, he even built a heated kang in the gatehouse to make himself comfortable.
Looking out from here, all the fields that can be seen belong to him. The people who are busy in the fields are his tenants and work for him. He would not change his pride even if he was given the title of emperor. .
In order to satisfy Gao Kuirong's hobby, his second son Gao Zhantian, who worked as a translator for the Japanese, specially brought him a Japanese military telescope, which allowed him to see farther.
Well, no matter how far away the fields are, they all belong to him.
Although it is freezing cold and not much to see, Gao Kuirong has developed this habit.
If he couldn't see crops, he would look at the snow. He knew that there were patches of wheat seedlings under the snow. He could imagine the warmth of spring and the blossoming of wheat stalks and the gentle breeze blowing across the thousands of waves of wheat.
It was almost noon, and the girl at home ran up the fence and came to Gao Kuirong: "Master, lunch is ready. Second Mistress asked you whether you want to go down to eat or bring it up to you."
Gao Kuirong put down the telescope, stretched, kicked the melon seed peels on the floor and asked, "What's for lunch?"
"Fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, corn noodle porridge."
Gao Kuirong scolded unhappily: "Why is this prodigal woman trying to scramble eggs again? Didn't she just eat them a few days ago?"
The girl grinned and whispered, "It's been half a month. My second grandma said she was very weak and wanted to take some supplements."
Gao Kuirong cursed and stood up: "You prodigal woman, you only eat scrambled eggs for half a month..."
Gao Kuirong had two wives. The eldest wife only gave birth to a daughter for him, so he had a second wife. The second wife lived up to his expectations and gave him two sons in succession. Naturally, he was favored at home. Gao Kuirong had two sons in ten days. I stayed in the second wife's room for eight days. The eldest wife was too lazy to argue, so she just ate fasting and chanted Buddha's name every day for peace and quiet.
Gao Kuirong was just about to get off the fence when a banker standing by the wall outside the gatehouse turned around and shouted: "Master, someone is coming on horseback."
Gao Kuirong grabbed the telescope he had just put down and walked out of the gatehouse to the edge of the pile to look at the person and horse running on the snow. When he could see clearly, he frowned slightly and said, "I don't know him. Ask him what he does."
After waiting for a while, a man and a horse arrived in front of the gatehouse. Several bankers on the gatehouse pointed their guns at the visitor, and one of them asked: "What are you doing standing there?"
The person coming was none other than Xie Tian. Xie Tian reined in his horse, took off the wine and roast chicken from the saddle with a smile, raised it above his head, and shouted to Gao Kuirong who was hiding behind the banker and looking down: "The one above should be Kuirong. Brother, right? Brother Kuirong, I’m here to have a drink with you. Look, I’ve brought wine and roasted chicken, and the Bazhen roasted chicken is so delicious that it’s all over the house.”
Gao Kuirong licked his lips, held his hand on the pile and looked down at Xie Tian and asked: "I don't know you, so you should have a way to explain yourself when you come to me for a drink, right?"
Xie Tian laughed and said, "Don't we know each other now? To be honest, I came to Brother Kuirong today to ask for something. Since I have something to ask for, I can't come empty-handed. In addition to bringing roast chicken and Wine, and I also brought a big gift to Brother Kuirong."
It turned out that he had something to ask for. Gao Kuirong showed a smile on his face, relaxed some of his vigilance, looked down at Xie Tian and said, "Send your name first."
Xie Tian chuckled, holding the wine bottle in his left hand and holding the roasted chicken in his right hand: "That's right, brother, I am Xie Baoqing of Heiyun Village."
Gao Kuirong reflexively took a step back and hid behind the banker with only half of his head exposed. Several bankers around him also became nervous and loaded their guns one after another.
Xie Tian smiled slightly and opened the front of his fur coat to reveal the two shell guns at his waist. He said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I have the gun with me. You can ask a brother to come down and collect my gun first, or I can throw it to you." "
The corner of Gao Kuirong's mouth twitched a few times, and he looked over his head and said: "Master Xie, we have no grudges in the past and today. I wonder why you came to see my brother today?"
The news that Heiyun Village was destroyed by Li Yunlong did not spread that fast. Facing Xie Baoqing, Gao Kuirong did not dare to rely on him. Although his two sons and a nephew were both military leaders, those soldiers were not what he wanted to mobilize. He could be mobilized, but Xie Baoqing actually had seventy or eighty people under his command, and they were all desperadoes. Naturally, he would not provoke Gao Kuirong if he could.
Xie Tian laughed at Gao Kuirong: "Brother Kuirong, haven't I already said it before? I'm here to drink with you. You see, I'm here alone. If I have any other ideas, I can come to your place alone." Are you coming? With so many of you, you won’t even be afraid of me, right? Then I’ll go back and brag about it to my brothers.”
The muscles on Gao Kuirong's face twitched a few more times. Xie Baoqing's words pierced his ears with a gun and a stick, and it was difficult to say whether they were heard or not.
Well, it seems that it would be good to make friends with Xie Baoqing. Some things that are inconvenient for the sons to come forward can be left to Xie Baoqing.
But the prerequisite is that if he wants to ask me to do this, he can't let me spend money on it, and it's okay if he just uses his words to give me a favor.
Gao Kuirong thought for a while, exposed half of his body, and clasped his fists at Xie Tian under the fence: "I don't know what Mr. Xie wants to ask Gao to do. As long as it can be done, Gao will never shirk it."
Xie Tian laughed and raised the wine bottle and soju again: "Brother Kuirong, I came here with meat and wine and sincerity. Are we just going to stand here and talk?"
Gao Kuirong hissed because of toothache, and said with a dry smile: "I'm rude, but there are rules in our neighborhood. Outsiders are not allowed to come in with firearms."
Xie Tian laughed and jumped off the horse. He freed up his hands to pull out the two guns on his belt and threw them on the snow. He still had a wine bottle in one hand and a chicken in the other. He raised his head and said to Gao Kuirong: "Brother Kuirong, call me A brother opened the door and put away my gun, and then searched me to see if there were any other weapons."
Gao Kuirong smiled and said: "There is no need to search you. I have already seen the sincerity of Mr. Xie."
As he spoke, Gao Kuirong turned to his confidant Zhuang Ke and winked. Zhuang Ke understood the situation and ran down the perimeter to open the door. Gao Kuirong exchanged a few words with Xie Tian and then slowly followed him down the perimeter.
The banker who opened the gate and ran out early picked up the two guns that Xie Tian had thrown in the snow and put them on his waist. Then he walked up to Xie Tian and apologized, saying with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xie. "
Xie Tian smiled slightly and held up the wine and roast chicken: "Whatever you want."
The dealer traced Xie Tian's arm to his shoes, stood up and shook his head gently at Gao Kuirong, who had just stepped off the fence.
Gao Kuirong glared at the banker and cursed: "You unruly bitch, didn't I tell you before that there's no need for a body search."
The banker laughed and said, "I'm sorry, boss, I've been having trouble hearing this for the past few days and I didn't hear clearly."
"Go away," Gao Kuirong cursed, stopped at the doorway, and clasped his fists at Xie Tian with a smile: "This servant doesn't understand the rules, brother Baoqing, please don't care."
Xie Tian laughed loudly and faced Gao Kuirong: "Brother Kuirong, how could I, Xie Baoqing, take such a small thing to heart? I, Xie Baoqing, have never seen anyone. The people under your command are much better behaved than my brothers. If you get to my place, you won’t be able to walk out of Heiyun Village without having to walk through mountains of swords and seas of fire.”
Gao Kuirong chuckled, knowing that Xie Baoqing was demonstrating to him.
Some people have done it in the first grade of junior high school, while others have done it in the fifteenth grade. However, Gao Kuirong is not worried. I don't even have to go out. What am I doing in Heiyun Village?
