reborn as an official

Chapter 370

The village chief Zhou Zhongzhou on the side looked at Xu Li and asked himself, although he was preempted by others, he still hurriedly explained: "Although Mr. Hu is old, since I know Hu's village, the village has always been full of flowers. Fen The fragrance is overflowing, I don't know why the old man loves flowers so much!"

It was the same young man just now who continued: "The old man doesn't love flowers, he misses people! When he led people to fight guerrillas against the Japanese in the mountains, more than 400 old brothers who were with him at the beginning were able to survive in the end. Fewer than 30 people went down the mountain, and the rest died in the battle. The conditions at that time did not allow them to be buried properly, so they could only be buried with a roll of mats and a hole dug on the mountain.

Later, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the old man wanted to bury these old brothers well and set up a monument. After all, these people had been with the old man all his life and were closer than his brothers, but some of them didn't even stay behind. sacrificed.The old man wants us descendants to pull up the weeds on their graves and burn a few pieces of paper money during the New Year and festivals to show our filial piety.

As soon as the old man went up the mountain, he found that the mountain that was bare a few years ago was now covered with wild flowers, and he could no longer find the place where his brother was buried!The old man sat on the mountain and cried for a long time. In the end, he could only ask someone to dig up a lot of wild flowers on the mountain and plant them in and outside the village.The old man often told us that these wild flowers were reincarnated from his old brothers, so we must treat them well! "

Xu Li understood that the old man was thinking about others by seeing things.Comrades, comrades, as close as brothers!It is difficult for people who have never served in the army or been on the battlefield to understand this kind of emotion. On the battlefield, you can rest assured that you can hand over your back to your comrades. At that time, they will be one with you, and they are closer than brothers!

When I led a team to perform missions abroad, in order to complete the mission, my comrades went on and on, and of course there would be casualties.But sometimes the situation is urgent, and it is impossible to take away their remains, but in order not to reveal their identities, these comrades can't even end up with a whole body. If they die, they will put a grenade on their body, blowing up the corpse to blood Vague.And after returning to the army, they can only build a tomb for these sacrificed comrades-in-arms to express their condolences.

Along the path full of wild flowers, we walked into the village.But as soon as he entered the village, Xu Li found that the roads in the village were narrower and more tortuous, and the houses passing along the road were all built of big blue stones, as if bringing everyone back to the long river of history.

Zhao Guoqing and Zhou Zhong didn't have any feelings yet, but Xu Li became more and more admiring of Mr. Hu who hadn't met yet. What kind of village is this? It's like a strong fortress!Fortunately, he didn't listen to Zhao Guoqing's words and sent the garrison here. Just looking at the buildings here, he knew that Mr. Hu might not be so obedient and handed over all the guns and ammunition in the village.Don't look at those garrisons with advanced automatic weapons, but if they want to attack this fortress group, if they don't have heavy artillery, they just rely on submachine guns and grenades, I'm afraid they really don't know who will die!

After walking around the village for a while and turning a corner, everyone finally came to the center of the village, where the Hu family's ancestral hall is located.From a distance, Xu Li saw that the ancestral hall was full of people, and at the gate of the ancestral hall, there was an old man with silver hair and silver beard sitting on a large jujube wood chair.Beside him was Hu Jianye, the secretary of the party committee of Daliushu Township that he knew. Hu Jianye was standing beside the old man whispering something, but the old man ignored him.

At this time, Hu Jianye also saw Xu Li and his party. He rushed over and greeted Xu Li: "Mayor Xu, you are here! It's because I didn't do my job well, so you have to go there yourself!"

Xu Li said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just have the opportunity to pay my respects to Mr. Hu, a legendary figure, and my trip is worthwhile!"

When Hu Jianye heard this, he hurriedly whispered: "Mayor Xu, our old man is too stubborn, why don't you go to my nephew's house to rest for a while, and I will persuade him later!"

Xu Li knew that Hu Jianye had good intentions, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get down because of Mr. Hu's words.But I came this time mainly to solve the problem, if I hide, it would be even more ridiculous! "No, let's go see the old man and see what he thinks!"

"It doesn't make sense! I've been persuading him for a long time, but the old man just won't let go. He is a man who admits death! Since Baozi didn't commit a crime, we can't just arrest people!" Hu Jianye said on the sidelines.

Xu Li frowned, and said: "The old man should be a sensible person, how could he be so confused? Could it be that he has misunderstood us!"

Hu Jianye scratched his head, took a peek at Zhao Guoqing and said, "I don't think there is a misunderstanding about us. I found that he has a little prejudice against people in police uniforms!"

Xu Li asked: "What's going on? Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"No, the old man didn't say anything at all. I persuaded him for a long time, but the old man just didn't say what the reason is!"

"Let's go, let's stop guessing here, let's ask the old man, it's not a big deal, it's just a temporary isolation for a few days, the old man shouldn't lose his temper like this!" After Xu Li finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the old man , hoping to ask what happened.

Coming in front of the old man, Xu Li carefully sized up this legendary figure.Mr. Hu Kaitai was only wearing a white double-breasted exercise suit made of homemade cloth at this time. Although he was over 80 years old, his hair, eyebrows, and beard were as white as snow, but he was full of energy, his eyes were piercing, and his complexion was rosy. , not only does not have any problems such as age spots that are common on the faces of other old people, but it is as thin as a baby, and there are few wrinkles.Judging by the old man's posture, I'm afraid he won't be a problem if he lives another three to fifty years!

"Hi, old man!" Xu Li respectfully saluted Hu Kaitai and asked.

Hu Jianye on the side hurriedly introduced: "Grandpa, this is the mayor of our Wangjiang City!"

While Xu Li was observing the old man, Hu Kaitai also looked Xu Li up and down. Although there was no expression on his face, he admired Xu Li very much in his heart.Mr. Hu Kaitai did not hide from Xu Li's salute, and just sat there and suffered.After listening to Hu Jianye's introduction, he clasped his fists in both hands and bowed back, then turned his head and said to Hu Jianye, "Bring a chair to Mayor Xu!"

Hu Jianye immediately ran to the back to bring an ancient-style armchair for Xu Li, and placed it next to Mr. Hu, but he himself stood aside again, not daring to say much.

Just as Xu Li was about to speak, the phone rang suddenly, so Xu Li could only smile apologetically and say, "I'm sorry, old man, I'll answer the phone first!"

Mr. Hu waved his hand and said, "Anything you want!"
