War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 181 Listening to Grandpa's Half Story

"Grandpa, did you have any members of the Yanling Squad in your family before?" Wei Ran asked, and handed the horn funnel to the old man beside him.

"When my father was young, he seemed to be their liaison officer."

Mr. Han pointed in the direction of Grandpa Suisui's house next door, "And your grandpa Zhou's grandfather too. At the beginning, my father was an apprentice with Mr. Zhou for several years. He used to walk around the streets to see patients and pass on information by the way. , but I haven’t heard that they beat devils with big sticks.”

Wei Ran was about to ask something, but Mr. Han stood up, "If you are curious about this matter, go into the room and ask your Grandpa Zhou, he might know something, and I can do the rest by myself."

"Let me disassemble it for you first!"

Wei Ran simply suppressed his curiosity, picked up the pickaxe again, and wondered if he could get something out of the hollow wall.

However, to his disappointment, the two of them had been busy working until it was dark, and the only harvest was a few food coupons in cans.

While they were finishing their work here, Sui Sui, who had been playing mahjong all afternoon, also found the pair lying in the yard with big lifting poles.

After learning that these two inconspicuous big iron sticks turned out to be the famous big lifting poles, this small-brained little thing who didn't know how to grow up became interested. She kept it for herself, and carried it to her grandfather's yard along the small gate.

"Sui Sui, why are you going back with two big poles?" Wei Ran asked the little thing who ran back holding two dirty hands.

"I want you to take care of it!" Sui Sui said proudly, "You will know when the time comes."

Wei Ran looked at Suisui suspiciously, "Don't even think about firing a shot."

"I'm not stupid." Sui Sui rolled her eyes, but in the end she refrained from revealing her plan.

Seeing this, Wei Ran had no choice but to temporarily give up his plan to use the metal book to do something. After all, this is grandma's house, not to mention the crowds. Those two big poles are more than two meters long, and they are not at all. Possibly carried into the house.So even if Sui Sui didn't make trouble, it was inevitable that the elders of the two families would notice something.

After taking a bath and changing into clean clothes, Wei Ran had dinner and a few drinks with his grandparents, and finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and walked through the small door into Grandpa Suisui's yard.

"You kid, why don't you come over for another meal?" Mr. Zhou asked with a smile.

"Ate"

Wei Ran glanced at Sui Sui who was studying the big pole in the yard with a flashlight and a box ruler, and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, if you have time, tell me the story of those two big poles." ? My grandpa said you might know better than him."

"You're the right person to ask about this."

Mr. Zhou laughed loudly, "Let's go, go in and tell me, it's so cold, I don't know what kind of hysteria Sui Sui has."

"Sui Sui, stop meeting there, wash your hands and come over to listen to the story." Wei Ran greeted Sui Sui, who was recording something with his mobile phone by the side of the pole, and followed Mr. Zhou into the west-facing wing .

There are only three small houses in total, which can be regarded as Mr. Zhou's former office.In the main room facing the entrance, there is an old elm table with a scent of medicine, a brown-red bamboo bench, a small stove specially used for boiling medicine, and wooden shelves full of casserole and medicine. Old things like rollers.

On the wall behind the table, there are several diagrams of meridians of the human body and a glass mirror frame hanging vertically. Inside is a white cloth embroidered with tigers. On both sides of the tiger, there are two columns of traditional Chinese characters, "But I pray that people in the world No disease, why worry about dust on the shelf."

Compared with the simple furnishings in the main room, there is a seven-star chest specially used to store Chinese herbal medicines in the room on the right.However, both Wei Ran and Suisui who followed behind knew that this wiped clean Chinese medicine cabinet was the same as those in the main room. Mr. Zhou, who only learned massage and bone setting, had never used it much from the beginning to the end, just because he was a grandparent. Passed down, so keep it as a thought.

The old man used it often, but in fact it was only the small room on the left hand side of the main room, in which there was simply an iron canopy bed with countless cowhide ropes tied to the edge of the bed.In my childhood memory, most of those unlucky people with broken legs and arms were carried in here, and most of their screams came from this small room.

While Mr. Zhou was adjusting the damper of the briquette stove, Wei Ran and Sui Sui had sat side by side on the bamboo bench obediently.

"Those two big lifters, it's really been a while."

Mr. Zhou sat on the chair behind the old elm table, pointed to the glass frame hanging on the wall, and said with nostalgia, "Before liberation, my grandfather was a quack who specialized in treating bruises. Listen to what my father said, Back then, the old man held up the tiger's guise, held the tiger's support, and took Wei Ran's grandfather's father to walk around the county town to see patients, and by the way, he also helped to pass on information.

When did the little devil's steamboat come, when did it leave, where did it come from, and where did it go? After they figured it out, they asked Wei Ran's grandfather's father to come back from the city to inform my father, and my father would inform Yan Yan Ling team. "

"What about the big lift poles? What happened to the two big lift poles?" Sui Sui asked curiously.

"Of course it's used to fight devils! But I don't know who used it. My father never said it, and neither did Wei Ran's grandfather's father."

Mr. Zhou said as a matter of course, "But when I was young, I saw those two big poles. They were all after the founding of the People's Republic of China. One summer, Wei Ran and I secretly took those two big poles and rowed the eagle row. Went to hunt wild ducks, but Wei Ran’s grandpa loaded too much gunpowder, the duck missed in the end, and the falcons fell apart, even our eyebrows were burnt off by the gunpowder.”

Wei Ran and Sui Sui almost couldn't hold back their laughter when they heard the words. The eagle rafts tied with bamboo poles were mounted on two large poles, and the key point was that they contained too much gunpowder. It is a miracle that these two old men survived with all their beards and tails. .

"At that time, Wei Ran and his grandfather were tied to a toon tree and beaten all afternoon."

Mr. Zhou said happily, "After that fight, we both lay down on the kangs of each family for several days without daring to turn over, and his father hid the two big poles. After that, we haven't seen each other again." pass."

"That's all? This is gone?" Sui Sui asked disappointedly, "Where are you beating devils?"

"Then I don't know!"

Mr. Zhou put the tiger support that he had been playing with in his hand back into the drawer, "Wei Ran's grandfather and I were both born after the founding of the People's Republic of China. My father told me stories about these things when I was young."

"Suisui, those two raised the pole."

"I'm useful!" Sui Sui expressed her attitude without waiting for Wei Ran to finish speaking.

"You girl, why are you playing with them?" Now, even Suisui's grandfather couldn't help asking.

"Anyway, it's useful!" Sui Sui bit her to death and didn't plan to say why, "Anyway, don't worry, I won't destroy them."

Wei Ran looked regretfully at the two big poles lying in the yard outside the window, this girl Sui Sui was spoiled no matter where she was, even if he wanted to use those two big poles to do something, he could only do something. We can wait for this gadget to pass the novelty.

However, what he didn't expect was that before he got up early the next morning, Sui Sui from the courtyard next door borrowed a van from the village by herself, and pulled the two big lifters without even having breakfast. Ran!
"You don't know where Sui Sui went?"

Mr. Zhou, who was busy cooking porridge, replied helplessly, "The legs grow on her own body. I don't know where this little girl has gone? She even told me that she went out with you."

This bastard is as unreliable as her foreign father!

Wei Ran cursed secretly, calmed down and thought carefully about where Sui Sui could take those two big poles.

It is definitely impossible to go back to school. After Wei Ran ruled out the first option, he immediately ruled out his family's travel agency in Jinmen and the possibility of her returning to Russia with those two big iron rods.

After doing some calculations like this, Wei Ran found that the most likely place is his own home, after all, apart from this place, there seems to be no other place for that gadget to go.

Do you want to go back and have a look?
Wei Ran hesitated for a moment, then pressed the thought.Anyway, I have already roughly guessed the other party's whereabouts. If he can run to the monk, can he also run to the temple?Especially since this temple belongs to my own home.

After thinking about the cause and effect, Wei Ran simply felt relieved, and accompanied Suisui's grandparents to drink two large bowls of porridge with sweet potato sticks and stubble, and then went back to the yard next door after hiccupping, and prepared to go out. My grandpa brought back a cart of soil to fill up the pigsty that had been dismantled yesterday.

After everything was done, Wei Ran put out the guqin, and continued to practice the Xianweng exercises that he still hadn't fully learned, referring to the tutorial he got from Chen Guangling.

It wasn't until the two families finished their dinner that Sui Sui came back in the dilapidated van in the dark.But after searching around in the van, Wei Ran couldn't find the two big lifting poles.

"Don't look for it," Sui Sui said proudly, "I hid those two big poles."

"Send me home?" Wei Ran thought he had guessed the answer.

"Why should I take you home?"

While talking, Sui Sui threw the car keys to Wei Ran, "Help me return it to my cousin who runs a supermarket in the village. I paid 500 to rent it from him, but I haven't paid yet."

"You go back." Wei Ran looked at Sui Sui who had already run into the yard, but in the end he could only shake his head helplessly, and resigned himself to his fate and got into the cab.

In the next few days, those two big lifters seemed to have never appeared before, but Sui Sui drove Wei Ran's car every now and then, and went out mysteriously in the early morning, waiting for dinner at night Just ran back.On the other hand, Wei Ran spent all his rare leisure time practicing piano.

But what hit him hard was that he didn't know if it was the artistic bacteria that came with the half of Sui Sui's blood.Even though this little thing goes out every now and then, her progress in learning the piano is no slower than her own. Even when Wei Ran's parents and Sui Sui's parents all rushed over to celebrate the new year together like in previous years, this little girl The gadgets are barely catching up with themselves.
