save the bachelors

The time came to four or seven years.

Mr. Zhu finally compiled the "Zishui County Chronicle", and was overjoyed to get it to the county government of Zishui County, hoping that the county magistrate could allocate funds for publication.

However, the newly appointed Zishui county magistrate refused to pay for the printing, and satirized Mr. Zhu for having nothing to do, not looking at the current situation, and compiling some county chronicles, which made Mr. Zhu very indignant.

In order to compile this book, it took 20 years of time for several great Confucian scholars of Guan Xue to study every word carefully.

But the county magistrate of Zishui didn't know what the goods were, and he kept pushing the excuses, that is, he had no money, which made Mr. Zhu so angry that he wanted to put down his scholarly airs and curse at others.

After Xiang Nan heard about it, he took five bundles of Dayang and went to Mr. Zhu, "Sir, compiling county chronicles is a good thing. There is a saying that goes well, 'If you want to destroy a country, you must first destroy its history; if you want to destroy your family, you must first destroy its history. destroy its culture.'

Mr. compiled the county annals, it was for Bailuyuan, for Zishui County, to write history, and to pass down the roots of Zishui County.With this county annals, our Zishui County has a soul.

Even if foreign enemies invade again in the future, as long as this county chronicle is still there, the roots of our Zishui County will not be cut off.Therefore, the publication of county chronicles is really a good thing for the country and the people, and I should also contribute a little bit.

Moreover, my money originally came from the common people, and it is right to return it to the common people now, please do not refuse, sir. "

Seeing what Xiang Nan said, Mr. Zhu was very moved.

In fact, after all these years, he admired Xiang Nan very much.

When the Crow Soldier invaded Yuanshang, it was Xiang Nan who protected the people in a village; later, when there was a drought, a plague of locusts, and a plague, it was Xiang Nan who delivered food and medicine...

So he accepted the five hundred oceans.

……

Zishui county annals were subsequently published.

The successful publication of this book also allowed Mr. Zhu to realize his last wish.

Afterwards, he personally sent the county annals to the homes of seven other old gentlemen who participated in compiling the county annals, and walked through all of Zishui County along the way, seeing the land that raised him for the last time.

After walking, he felt that his body was lighter, and the burden of his life was finally unloaded.

In the winter of that year, after he had explained all his funeral affairs, he asked his wife Zhu Baishi to comb his hair for the last time.

Afterwards, he snuggled into Zhu Baishi's arms and said, "I'm so lonely in my heart that I can't stand it, so I hope to have a mother! I want to call you a mother..."

Zhu Baishi understood his thoughts very well, nodded silently, and gently hugged his head.

At this time, heavy snow fell one after another, and both of them gradually lost their breath.

……

The death of Mr. Zhu caused a huge commotion in Bailuyuan.

People from several villages in the surrounding area all came to mourn for Mr. Zhu.

On the one hand, Mr. Zhu's knowledge is admired by all, and he is a rare great Confucian in Bailuyuan; on the other hand, Mr. Zhu's conduct is also well-known.

At that time, one person said that Fang Sheng would be promoted to 20 Qing soldiers; he promised Fang Sheng to give lectures for five years, and then he really left his family and business and went to teach outside the customs; he banned tobacco seedlings, made township agreements, helped victims of disasters, and compiled county chronicles...

One pile, one piece, is full of benevolence, great wisdom and courage, which is very admirable.

Therefore, on the day of Mr. Zhu's funeral, thousands of people came to mourn him, and the procession stretched for two or three miles.

Xiang Nan was also among them, and wrote an elegiac couplet for Mr. Zhu, "I am confident that I have nothing to be ashamed of in my life, and I dare to face the sky after death."

Bai Jiaxuan also cried to death, wishing he could crash into the coffin and go with his brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law is the guiding light in his life and the great saint in his mind.He has followed his brother-in-law's guidance almost all his life, and now that his brother-in-law died, he immediately felt empty in his heart.

"The best gentleman in Bailuyuan has passed away... There will never be such a good gentleman in the world!" He knelt in front of Mr. Zhu's grave and cried.

……

After Mr. Zhu's death, it will soon be [-] years.

In May, the city of Xi'an was liberated.Immediately afterwards, Zishui County was liberated.

Many communist parties popped up all at once to welcome the People's Liberation Army, and they also captured the bully landlords, local tyrants and evil gentry, and corrupt officials.

The secretary general Yue Weishan, the director of the UN Security Bureau Tian Fuxian, and the bully landlord He Yaozu were all arrested.

It turns out that in recent years, the Kuomintang has gone against the grain and extorted money, which has long aroused public anger in the original land.

The common people were skeptical of the underground party at first, but gradually became their supporters.

Many people even joined the underground party in private, joined the militia and guerrillas, and worked on the plains.

It's just that they farm in peacetime and serve as soldiers in wartime.You can fight with your guns, and you can produce with your guns down.

The militia played a big role in the liberation of Xi'an City and Zishui County this time.

After Zishui County was liberated, Lu Zhaopeng wore this military uniform, returned to the original place, and found Xiang Nan.

"Okay, I knew that you would win in the end." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

"Thank you for supporting us. The original 300 million oceans really helped us a lot," Lu Zhaopeng said.

300 million oceans were transferred to the Maoqin base by him.With this money, the strength of the 36th Army has been greatly enhanced.Not only has it expanded to 5 people, but the territory has also expanded more than ten times.

It laid a solid foundation for the subsequent victorious reunion, so Lu Zhaopeng is very grateful to Xiang Nan.

"You're welcome, it's just a small effort." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

"By the way, I have something I want you to confirm." Lu Zhaopeng said again.

"What's the matter?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"During the Anti-Japanese War, there was a legendary agent, code-named 'ghost', who assassinated senior Japanese military officials, burned Japanese military ammunition, stole Japanese military secrets, and caused extremely serious damage to the Japanese military. Is this you?" Lu Zhaopeng asked.

Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "You say yes, anyway, I don't admit it."

He didn't want to be rewarded for meritorious service at first, he just wanted to live a good life in the future, so he would not admit this matter.

Hearing what he said, Lu Zhaopeng laughed.

He had already guessed that the "ghost" was Xiang Nan.Only he has the ability to kill people invisible, travel thousands of miles a day, travel eight hundred nights, and run long distances.

Moreover, the way "Ghost" does things is almost exactly the same as that of Xiang Nan's whole town of Song Army.They are all burning food and grass, stealing banks, blowing up munitions, and killing officers...

"Hei Wa, thank you, you have made great contributions to the Anti-Japanese War." Lu Zhaopeng held Xiang Nan's hand tightly.

"Zhaopeng, don't say that, I didn't admit it." Xiang Nan laughed, "I hope you don't talk nonsense without evidence."

Lu Zhaopeng smiled, "It's not like before, everyone can speak freely."

When Xiang Nan heard this, he also laughed.

……

When Lu Zhaopeng came back, he brought back Bai Ling's daughter.

It turned out that in order to cover their identities, he and Bai Ling had pretended to be husband and wife, and as time went by, the fake show was real, and they really got married.

Then Bai Ling became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter named Lu Tianming at the home of a fellow villager in the base area.

Seeing Bai Ling's daughter, Bai Jiaxuan and Wu Xiancao were very happy.

They love their daughter Bai Ling the most, but Bai Ling breaks their hearts.

Since the hasty farewell more than ten years ago, they have never seen each other again, and the two of them are looking forward to it, and the tears are almost shed.

So now seeing their granddaughter, who looks exactly like their daughter when they were young, Bai Jiaxuan and Wu Xiancao are really overjoyed.
