20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 207 Seventh Uncle
The snow stopped and the mats dispersed.

Looking from a distance, the lights in front of the "Juxiang Tower" were shaking. Everyone was drunk and chatting in secret. They bowed to each other and said goodbye. Everyone left in their own carriages. Only a few people on Jiang Xiaodao were riding horses at night.

The snow is soft and the horses' hooves are silent.

As everyone got closer, the laughter became more real and clear.

"Brother Dao, let's be serious, take another step forward!"

Zhong Yushan was addicted to alcohol, and his tongue was full of alcohol, but he still said vaguely: "The three of us have a lot of shit to do, and they can't even take care of their own affairs. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Moreover, you still have It’s related to the patrol camp!”

Han Xinyuan echoed: "I think so. There are a few brothers in Huifangli who want to hang out with us!"

"What do you think?" Guan Wei laughed, "People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Who wouldn't climb up if there is a chance?"

Jiang Xiaodao didn't look excited, and just said lightly: "I have connections with the patrol camp, but so does Zhou Yunfu."

"Hey! How can that be the same!" Zhong Yushan said with a smile, "Brother Dao, your relationship is much stronger than that of Zhou Yunfu. I accompanied Han Ce to give gifts to the non-commissioned officers in the martial arts hall before, but he was begging for grandpa and suing for grandma. , You are just patting your chest and talking about buddies!"

As they talked, everyone came to a fork in the road.

Logically speaking, everyone should say goodbye here, with one group going back to the house in the east of the city, and the other group going back to the old house in the north of the city.

Guan Wei, Gong Baonan and Han Xinyuan tightened their reins and prepared to move forward along the road.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaodao said, "Uncle Qi, come with me back to your old home tonight."

"Ok?"

Gong Baonan was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised. Instead, he said happily: "The relationship is good, the road is close, and you can get on the kang to rest early!"

After all, Lao Qi's character has always been like this. He is unwilling to participate in discussions or express opinions. He hides when he is alive and lies down when he is not alive.

Guan Wei had visited the old house before. Gong Baonan was neither curious nor overly concerned about this. He just felt that when it was his turn to go, he would naturally be called. If it was not necessary, he would be happy to lie there. He slept on the kang with his head covered.

Everyone separated at the fork in the road.

Jiang Xiaodao and Gong Baonan rode side by side. Zhong Yushan and Li Zheng saw that their uncle and nephew had something to say, so they consciously followed at a distance.

"Uncle Seven."

"Say."

Jiang Xiaodao looked at the dark alley in front of him without squinting, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Tell me, should I take another step forward?"

"Why are you asking me?" Gong Baonan frowned, "As if I said it and you would listen."

"Hey! Look at what you said. You are my uncle. If I don't ask, who will you ask?"

"Ask your wife."

"I asked." Jiang Xiaodao whispered, "My wife said I should take a step forward."

"Yeah." Gong Baonan nodded.

Jiang Xiaodao was a little dissatisfied and complained: "No, can't you express your opinion?"

"Do you really want to hear it?"

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I ask you?"

Gong Baonan rarely showed a deep expression on his face. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Xiaodao, you can't retreat anymore. We are not just entertainers. The road you are taking is not visible to the public. Once the vines are heard, Son, there is no way to retreat."

"Why?" Jiang Xiaodao asked.

"No reason." Gong Baonan said to himself, "A man'er is a man'er! It's both convenient and cumbersome. The bigger your man's body is, the more people want to insert you into your power. You're not looking for trouble. , trouble will come to you."

Jiang Xiaodao thought for a while and asked, "So, you also think I should take a step forward?"

Gong Baonan groaned and said: "Even if you don't come in, someone else will. Anyway, the position of the handle is right there, and it can never be empty. It's just a matter of fighting over and over again." , don’t you think it’s actually quite boring? However, the worst case scenario is that you are forcibly carried up by others.”

"Are there any kind-hearted people like this?"

"Silly roe deer!" Gong Baonan shook his head helplessly, "Don't you want to hear his opinion? If you really want to take a step forward, then take the initiative and don't be regarded as a banner to push down Zhou Yunfu. That's-"

"What is that?" Jiang Xiaodao urged.

"Hey! Forget it, it's too late to say anything now."

"Half of the words, you gave birth to a son without an asshole!"

Gong Baonan turned his head and continued what he had just said, saying: "Even then, you will no longer be you. Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend to be another person."

Jiang Xiaodaozai listened carefully in his heart, as if he had some enlightenment.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the mouth of the alley, picking up the snow on the ground and hitting my face, which was a little painful.

"Uncle Qi, I have always felt that apart from being more capable, you are essentially the same as Han Ce."

"Thank you so fucking much, I really do."

"Don't worry! I haven't finished speaking yet!" Jiang Xiaodao continued, "But now I realize that you are the real human spirit! You usually pretend to be dead and play tricks on others, just like a puddle of mud. I can tell, aren't you just trying to hide for this day! If you can be more independent, you should be responsible for my current situation! "

"Hahahaha!" Gong Baonan suddenly laughed, "Xiaodao, I'm sorry. I really don't want to go too far."

Since we are in the rivers and lakes, the bigger the waves are, the further away we are from the shore.

Only by hiding one's skill and keeping one's humbleness, and being in harmony with the light, can one escape wholeheartedly.

"You bastard!" Jiang Xiaodao scolded angrily, "No wonder you have been digging so hard all day long. Ever since you were a child, you have never given me any lucky money. You are just saving it for a way out, right?"

Gong Baonan gradually stopped smiling, and sighed sadly: "Alas! I can only say these words when your father is not around, otherwise it will be unthinkable!"

"Hey! My father is actually not dead!" "What?"

"Ow—"

The horse suddenly frightened and screamed, and immediately raised its front hooves and kicked in the air. Gong Baonan was so panicked that he was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a "thud" from the horse.

"Eh? Uncle Qi!"

Jiang Xiaodao quickly turned over and dismounted, used his hands tightly to dig Gong Baonan out of the snowdrift, and asked: "Uncle Qi? Uncle Qi, are you okay? Stay strong, get back on your feet!"

…………

Jiangzhai in the north of the city, Kangtou in the east room.

Jiang Xiaodao, under the influence of alcohol, leaned beside his wife, moving up and down with his hands and feet.

"Tsk! Stop making trouble!" Hu Xiaoyan tried her best to grab his dirty hands, "Hey! Stop making trouble! Don't you know how many people live in the courtyard? People will see it soon!"

"It's okay, let them go and let them go!" Jiang Xiaodao said shamelessly, "Besides, who has nothing to do but has to watch us two? Xiaohua, don't you think so?"

"what?"

Xiao Hua, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, was inexplicably clicked, and her face suddenly turned red. Then she immediately turned around and replied blankly: "Yes, yes, the young master said it!"

"Look, I'll just say it!" Jiang Xiaodao still walked towards Hu Xiaoyan.

Just when he was getting excited, the door was suddenly pushed open. Gong Baonan had a dark face and moved slowly towards the tea table.

When Xiaohua saw this, she immediately jumped off the bed and poured a glass of water for Master Qi first.

Jiang Xiaodao tidied up his clothes and scolded: "Uncle Qi, what's the matter with you? Do you still think your niece-in-law is a child? You don't know how to knock on the door when you enter the house. Do you know the etiquette?"

Gong Baonan bared his teeth and sat down on the chair, cursing: "You little brat, if you say one more nonsense, I'll pick your hamstring!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! It seems that I still didn't kneel too much. It's only half an hour, but it still takes two hours to start!"

Gong Baonan took off his cotton boots and threw them towards the river path.

The uncle and nephew argued for a while.

Finally, Hu Xiaoyan brought back the topic and asked: "Uncle Qi, you have been to Bai's house before, how is the situation there?"

"Huh?" Gong Baonan brought the tea bowl to his mouth, stopped and asked, "Did Guan Wei tell you about this?"

Hu Xiaoyan smiled and said, "I want to hear what Uncle Qi has to say."

Gong Baonan couldn't help but frown: "You two don't believe him?"

"No, no!" Hu Xiaoyan quickly shook her head, "Uncle Qi, don't say such hurtful words. It's just that when different people look at the same thing, they always have different emphasis. It will be clear if they both listen! When we talk about it together, there is always a distinction between priorities, one person is taken away by another, and some subtle details are easily overlooked."

Gong Baonan put down the tea bowl and murmured: "This seems to be a trial."

"Uncle Qi, don't worry too much, just say it."

Hu Xiaoyan's method of questioning had been formed long before she accepted the Four Winds.

She is disabled and has limited mobility. She has always considered the news she heard through her ears. It is not that she doubts who is telling lies. Even if what she tells is all the truth, there are always times when she generalizes.

This has nothing to do with trust, it's simply about getting closer to the truth.

Although Gong Baonan was a little confused, he told everything he knew. He first went through it from the beginning, and then Hu Xiaoyan asked for details so that he could add them at any time.

This conversation went straight to the fourth watch of drumming, and then ended.

Everyone was extremely sleepy, so Gong Baonan got up and left, returning to the side room to sleep.

When he returned to his old house this time, he didn't feel any strangeness like Guan Wei, but there was a change that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

In the past, when the brothers on the road saw him, they would always call him "Seventh Brother" affectionately, but now he has become "Seventh Master".

The rise in seniority is naturally related to the path.

Gong Baonan walked to the yard and couldn't help but glanced at the west room again without saying anything.

In the east room, Jiang Xiaodao yawned and asked Xiaohua to move to the bed, but was pinched hard by his wife under the quilt.

After blowing out the light, Hu Xiaoyan couldn't help but ask in the dark: "Xiaodao, what kind of person is that young aunt of the Bai family?"

Jiang Xiaodao thought for a while and murmured: "To be honest, I admire her very much. Everyone also praises her as a hero among women. Anyway, if she is not from the Bai family, I probably won't bother her. "

Hearing the words "heroine among women", Hu Xiaoyan nodded silently: "Go to sleep, don't worry about it. Can you help me invite Uncle Six here tomorrow?"

"Let's talk again! Go to sleep!"

"what!"

For some reason, in the middle of the night, Xiaohua suddenly screamed.

Hu Xiaoyan quickly stood up and asked: "Xiaohua, what's wrong?"

"Ah? No, young lady, it's nothing..."

Heavy snoring sounded in Jiang Xiaodao.

nothing?
Hu Xiaoyan lowered her head, stared at Jiang Xiaodao with squinted eyes, and immediately pushed her: "Don't pretend to be asleep! Get up and change positions!"
