knife wind town

Chapter 76

"Brother Lisong, it's really you!" A voice that was familiar but not heard for a long time called Chen Lisong behind him.

"Tiezhu!" Chen Lisong, who was watching the devil's military vehicle enter Daofeng Town, knew it was Li Tiezhu's voice immediately, "Aren't you from Lijiazhai? Why are you here?"

After Chen Ruyi's funeral, Li Tiezhu, who was an apprentice at Chen Lisong's house, went back to Lijiazhai because he lost his master.

The person who was caught building the wall on the South Mountain was from Chenzhuang; the person who was caught building the wall on the North Mountain was from Huangzhuang.

Li Tiezhu is from Lijiazhai, neither Chenzhuang nor Huangzhuang, so he shouldn't be in Nanshan.

"I'm the only labor force in our family. I'm sure I'll come too. Brother-in-law Jin Shun is also here. However, when I told Chief Chen to look for you just now, he let me sneak up."

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the devils and the second devils who guarded their labor, Li Tiezhu helped Chen Lisong pass the bricks.

"Mr. Chen? Oh, Chen Rong." Chen Rong is also from Chenzhuang, just like Chen Tianfu, and the same generation as Chen Lisong.

"Yes! People from our Lijiazhai have come. He told me that you are working on Nanshan."

"How many people from Lijiazhai came?" Chen Lisong originally thought that the people from Chenzhuang and Huangzhuang came to work on the mountain, but he didn't want people from Lijiazhai and Linjiazhai to be "arrested" too.

However, people with the surnames of Chen and Huang were working on the southern and northern mountains, and they were done soon. Why did the people from Lijiazhai and Linjiazhai come here?
"A lot. By the way, Brother Lisong, I heard from Mr. Chen that big smoke will be planted on Nanshan and Beishan in the future?"

"Growing smoke?"

Chen Lisong was already surprised by the appearance of the devil's military vehicle, and the people from Lijiazhai also came, which made him feel that the devil is going to recruit so many civilians to do things this time. The smoke shocked Chen Lisong even more.

How dare this Zhao Dafu do such a thing? !
He raised his head to look at Zhao Dafu and Lin Hua, but they were gone, and he looked around, but he couldn't find them either!
Chen Lisong didn't know when Zhao Dafu and Lin Hua disappeared, just like when Li Tiezhu appeared, he felt that this was not what he expected.

Those devils with guns and the second devil seemed to turn a blind eye to the addition of a 13-year-old Li Tiezhu, but their eyes were all fixed on the intersection down the mountain.

It seems that if you want to sneak down the mountain to ask what happened, you have to wait until after work is over.

Seeing that it was unlikely to slip away, Chen Lisong asked Li Tiezhu, "Chen Rong knew you were looking for me, so he wouldn't arrest you, would he? What were you arrested for?"

"I don't know, they didn't say why."

Because Lijiazhai is backed by mountains, Li Tiezhu has been learning to hunt with Chen Ruyi since he was ten years old, and at the same time helping out, so he has been in contact with people and things in Chenzhuang since he was a child.Chen Rong was of the same generation as Chen Lisong, so he was naturally familiar with Li Tiezhu.When Li Tiezhu was arrested, he didn't ask why, so many people didn't have the time for him to ask. Seeing that Chen Rong was guarding them, he just talked to Chen Rong and slipped to Nanshan.

When it was dark, Chen Lisong and Li Tiezhu came down from the Nanshan Mountain together with the others. The evening wind blowing on their faces gradually dried everyone's sweat from the day.

The sun has already set, and passing through the countryside, I can no longer see the appearance of the rice ears in the field. The people from the security team told everyone that they will continue to gather in front of the security team office building at six o'clock tomorrow.

Everyone was tired all day and went home.Because they will gather earlier tomorrow, and the office building of the police force is built in Chenzhuang, Chen Lisong took Li Tiezhu back to Chenzhuang's house to live together.

At night, there seems to be no mosquitoes where there are fireflies.

Many fireflies flew out of the courtyard of the old courtyard where Chen Tianfu entered for the second time. Lin Qinghe took a glass bottle and caught one after another, but soon became impatient.

She threw the glass bottle on the table in the veranda, turned around and sat on the armchair, stepping on the chair with her right foot.

At this point, it doesn't look like a middle school student.

"Mom! This is too boring! I don't want to harvest rice, so what am I doing at home every day? Didn't Uncle Tianfu say that it won't be long before the devils occupy Tiancheng? We've been in Chenzhuang for several months, really I can't stay any longer!"

Zheng Yiyi came out of the kitchen with three bowls of white meatballs on a tray, put a bowl in front of Lin Qinghe and put it on the table, and said, "You are neither like your father nor me, you have something to eat now There is a place to live, and it is more comfortable than the rich man, why do you have to go back to Tiancheng? First eat the white balls, it is very sweet! Your Uncle Tianfu has guests, so Mom will send the snacks, and we will talk about it later!"

Lin Qinghe waved her away with her hand, and said, "Go, go! Anyway, you've forgotten about Dad! Go, and don't tell me when you come back!"

Chen Tianfu and Chen Rong sat in the south study room in the front yard.Although there is no electric light in the old courtyard house, it is brightly lit with candles and oil lamps.

"Did you let Li Tiezhu go to Nanshan?"

"Well, according to your instructions, I also told Li Tiezhu about planting opium in the North and South Mountains, and the kid should have told him too."

"Do you know why you were asked to do this?"

"I do not know."

"Do you know who was the biggest official in our Chenzhuang in the previous dynasty?"

"Our great-grandfather had the experience of being the chief secretary of the sixth rank, right?"

"No, our great-great-grandfather was a civil servant, and he was only from the sixth rank. The most senior official was his cousin, Chen Xuanqing, who was a military officer. It's a pity that he became a waste because he smoked opium afterwards."

Chen Rong asked: "Chen Xuanqing? Who is Chen Xuanqing?"

Holding two bowls of white meatballs, Zheng Yiyi knocked on the door outside the study and came in.

"Both of you have some snacks before talking." She put two bowls of white meatballs on the table in front of them, and sat down on a chair beside Chen Tianfu.

Chen Rong thanked Zheng Yiyi: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You're welcome, white balls to cool off the heat, you two will talk after eating."

"A Rong, you can eat too." Chen Tianfu picked up the white ball and ate it first, "Chen Xuanqing is Chen Lisong's great-grandfather."

Chen Rong also ate the white balls, and asked while eating: "Then what kind of official is this Chen Xuanqing, who will be bigger than our great-grandfather?"

"Chen Xuanqing used to be the general manager of the battalion, and he was at the sixth rank, half a rank higher than our great-grandfather. When he was young, he heard that he was brave and invincible. Unfortunately, he lost his official cigarette because of the opium, and sold everything at home. Later, when catching the thief, he became addicted to cigarettes, and was pushed into the latrine by the thief and drowned."

When Zheng Yiyi heard that people fell into the latrine and drowned, she was overjoyed all of a sudden: "I laughed so hard, someone really fell into the latrine and drowned."

Chen Tianfu smiled at her, and continued: "So our Chenzhuang Chen Xuanqing lineage has since declined, and Chen Xuanqing's wife asked their descendants to resolutely ban smoking. Our Daofeng Town was originally the most suitable for growing opium, but it has been 100 years. No one dares to grow smoke, because of Chen Xuanqing's lineage, they have sworn viciously since then, they have become hunters for generations, wandering around the mountains around our town, once they find any kind of big smoke, they will try their best to resolutely eradicate it, no one will Can't grow."
