20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 232 Nightmare Heilongjiang

When I returned to my old house, it was already dark.

When I opened the door, I happened to see Hu Xiaoyan and Xiaohua trying out a new wheelchair in the yard.

This is a new thing that Xiaodao recently bought from foreigners. The body is welded by metal hollow tubes. It is light and strong. The wheels are covered with rubber tires and there are bearings in the wheel hubs. It is agile and brisk.

Hu Xiaoyan was able to control it all by herself, but she was a little tired. After trying for a while, beads of sweat began to form on her temples.

"Uncle Qi is back! Why is it so late today?"

"Well, I met an acquaintance on the road and chatted for a while." Gong Baonan walked into the courtyard, like a guest, a little reserved, "Is this wheelchair easy to use?"

Hu Xiaoyan wiped her sweat and said with a smile: "It's very easy to use. It's much better than the wooden wheel."

"That's good." Gong Baonan asked again, "Isn't Xiaodao back?"

"He went to Heshengfang with Zhao Guoyan and Lao Zhong. It won't open for the first time during the New Year. He asked a few people to clean it up and deal with it next year." Hu Xiaoyan explained, and then said, "There are a lot of things, and they , I probably won’t be back tonight. Are you hungry, uncle Qi? I’ll ask Xiaohua to give you some hot food to eat?”

"Well, no need, I just finished eating not long ago."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, there was another voice behind him in a coquettish voice: "What are you eating?"

Hu Xiaoyan's eyelids twitched and she looked at Xiaoxue standing at the entrance of the courtyard. After thinking for a moment, she squeezed out a smile and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Xiaoxue thought for a while and said, "Try them all."

"What are you trying to taste? Didn't you just finish your meal?" Gong Baonan pushed Xiaoxue, "Go back to the house and wait!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Hu Xiaoyan again, hesitated to speak, and finally just said: "I'm going back first."

Hu Xiaoyan responded.

Gong Baonan took a few steps and suddenly turned back: "By the way, Xiaoyan, I plan to leave in two days."

Hu Xiaoyan was stunned and asked: "Aren't you leaving after the New Year?"

Gong Baonan said, "My eldest brother is no longer here. As an uncle, I always hang out with those guys. It's not like that."

"Uncle Qi has been talking about life issues recently. You'd better wait until Xiaodao comes back and tell him in person about this matter."

Gong Baonan nodded and immediately returned to the wing.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Xiaoxue already sitting on the kang, happily trying on the newly bought clothes one by one.

Both of them had been walking for a day. The little girl was still full of energy, but the old seventh was already exhausted. He put his slippers on the kang, fell down on the mattress, and began to feel drowsy.

Xiaoxue turned her back to him, flipping the "rags" in her pocket back and forth, never getting tired of it.

"Xiaoxue, how old are you?"

"New Year's Eve."

"Oh." Gong Baonan turned sideways, considered it for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Do you - do you know what the situation is like in your family? For example, your mother..."

"Help me break open these two walnuts!" Xiaoxue interrupted.

Gong Baonan stretched out his hand, placed two walnuts in his palm, and crushed them hard. Hearing a "click" sound, the two walnuts shattered.

Xiaoxue's eyes lit up and she immediately clapped her hands and applauded.

Gong Baonan brought the topic back and asked, "Do you know what's going on at home?"

Xiaoxue sniffled, still facing him, and replied: "I know! There is a bad guy in my house. Fortunately, you helped me, and that uncle!"

"That uncle?"

"Yeah! That uncle with the weird eyebrows, he saved me after fighting with the bad guys! He's quite powerful!"

Gong Baonan was stunned - it turned out that the whole story was completely different in Xiaoxue's eyes.

"What about your aunt and the others?"

"They are bad people!" Xiaoxue put her hands in front of her mouth mysteriously and lowered her voice and said, "My mother told me that my aunts are bad people and told me to stay away from them. Don't tell me Ah! My mother won’t let me tell anyone.”

Gong Baonan turned over and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although this misunderstanding is unfair to Xiaoxue, the truth may not be a good thing for her now.

As for when and where to tell the truth, or whether to never talk about it forever, Gong Baonan has gradually made a plan in his heart.

Perhaps because she bought new clothes today, Xiaoxue was in a pretty good mood. She asked Lao Qi about various things, chattering non-stop. As she talked, she couldn't help but ask about Lao Qi's past.

"Uncle, does your family also run a factory?"

"Hey! You really think highly of me, but I don't have that ability."

"Then what did you do before?" Xiaoxue asked while breaking the broken walnuts, "Did you practice martial arts?"

Gong Baonan originally didn't want to mention the past, but when he saw Xiaoxue's ignorant look, he dropped his guard, just like he did when he looked at Jiang Xiaodao, and said, "I used to be a soldier."

"Then have you ever beaten a foreigner?"

"Of course I did."

"Did you win?"

"No."

"Never won once?" Xiaoxue asked curiously.

"Never won once." Gong Baonan answered truthfully.

Xiaoxue frowned and asked, "Why?"

Gong Baonan shook his head: "You asked me, but I don't know. Anyway, I just can't win. There are various reasons. At first, I thought it was because the gun was not good enough, the cannon was not far enough, and the ship was not strong enough. Later, the guns were better, the cannons were farther away, and the big iron ships were available, but in the end we still couldn't defeat them, not even the little Japanese."

Xiaoxue didn't understand, but she remembered her grandfather's words: "My grandpa said that foreigners are so powerful that they can't be beaten."

"Don't listen to your grandpa's nonsense."

"Why are you talking nonsense? Didn't you just say that you can't beat me?"

"That was in the past. It's not like I can't beat even when I'm old." Gong Baonan scratched his head a little guiltily, "Probably not, that would be too miserable. Will he be able to beat me in the future? Hey! I don't know, maybe. , when you grow up, you can beat it."

"I'm a girl, and I'm not a soldier!" "That's right!"

"Then will you still be a soldier in the future?" Xiaoxue asked.

Gong Baonan shook his head: "I'm too old to be a doctor anymore. And -"

"And what happened?"

When the words came to his lips, Gong Baonan still swallowed them back: "It's okay, stop yelling, I want to sleep for a while!"

The sleepiness came at once, and after a while, Lao Qi fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, I returned to the important border town of Heilongjiang during the Gengzi period. The Tsarist Russian army marched south, General Shoushan died for his country, General Jilin and General Shengjing avoided fighting, and impeachment memorials poured in from the court...

In Hailanpao and Jiangdong No. [-] villages, tragedies occurred one after another...

The banks of Heilongjiang are dotted with human heads, the old, weak, women and children are defenseless, and the screams are endless...

The army was defeated like a mountain, and countless deserters retreated and scattered among the people. They either fell into disgrace and became bandits, or went anonymous, or reorganized stragglers, and still resisted with all their strength...

All living beings are struggling to survive, and no one can save anyone...

…………

Gong Baonan felt hot all over, turned over, and woke up. It was dark as ink outside the window, but Xiaoxue was nowhere to be seen.

Probably went to the hut!

Gong Baonan didn't think much. He lay down and waited for a while, but there was still no movement from Xiaoxue. Hu Xiaoyan's face suddenly flashed in his mind, and his heart suddenly tightened. He hurriedly put on his shoes, opened the door, walked to the yard, and whispered softly. call.

"Xiaoxue?"

You know, Jiang Xiaodao is not the only one who values ​​promises. Lao Qi also promised the young aunt of the Bai family that he would ensure the safety of her daughter.

I don’t know what time it is now, the lights in every room have been turned off, and the yard is dark and empty.

When he walked to the door of the house, the door bolt was still hanging on it, so Gong Baonan began to search in the yard.

The sound of rustling footsteps woke up the four wind outlets in the opposite wing. They all came out and asked: "Uncle Qi, has something happened?"

"Did you see that little girl's movie?"

"I'm not looking!" Xiao Nanfeng asked with concern, "What's wrong, Uncle Qi, has she run away?"

Gong Baonan asked suspiciously: "Don't lie, did you watch it?"

"Hey! I really didn't notice!" Xiao Xifeng said, "Uncle Qi, look at what you said, no one we can deceive can deceive you!"

Lao Qi still had some status in Si Fengkou's heart.

After all, it was Uncle Qi who taught them how to shoot in the first place.

Gong Baonan glanced around, then immediately took steps towards the backyard.

"Hey! Uncle Qi!" Xiao Beifeng stepped forward to stop him, "W-what are you doing in the backyard!"

"I'm looking for someone, why are you panicking?" Gong Baonan didn't care and strode into the backyard.

Sure enough, as soon as they rounded the house, they saw Xiaoxue squatting on the ground, holding her ankles with both hands, staring at the dark cellar entrance intently.

Gong Baonan breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately turned to anger. He walked forward, picked up Xiaoxue, and scolded: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Come on, follow me back to the house!"

Xiaoxue pointed to the entrance of the cellar and said, "There is a person there."

The little girl is quite courageous. She said such a sentence out of the blue in the middle of the night. Even Gong Baonan felt scared after hearing it.

"Nonsense! Someone is in the cellar!"

"Really, I just fed her biscuits!"

At this time, Si Fengkou followed closely and came to the backyard.

Seeing that the cellar door was open, Xiao Xifeng immediately rushed to it in three or five steps, lowered his head and cursed loudly inside: "Fuck you, are you itchy again?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...don't hit me, don't hit me..." A cry came from the cellar, "It was her...she opened the door, it's not my fault, it's not my fault!"

After saying that, he saw a pale, thin arm, like a dead branch, stretching out from the cellar. He fumbled around randomly, grabbed the handle on the baffle, and immediately closed the cellar again.

The harsh pleas turned into slow sobs.

Xiaoxue was immediately frightened and hid behind Lao Qi.

Gong Baonan's eyes widened with a shocked look on his face. After a long pause, he slowly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is here?"

"Hey! No one, just a bitch!" Xiao Xifeng said with a smile.

Gong Baonan approached slowly: "Open it and let me see."

"Uncle Qi, look what she is doing! It stinks, it's off-putting!" Xiao Beifeng blocked the entrance to the cellar, thinking of prevarication.

Gong Baonan refused to listen. Not long after he moved back to his old house, he didn't know there was such a thing in the backyard, so his curiosity drove him to find out.

Si Fengkou, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to stop me.

Finally, Xiao Dongfeng winked at Xiao Nanfeng and whispered: "Go and call sister-in-law."

Gong Baonan frowned and opened the cellar door. A strong stench suddenly hit his face.

He took out the pistol from his pocket, loaded it, and walked down the steps step by step. After a long time of adapting, he faintly saw a monster that looked like a human and a ghost lying in the corner of the cellar.

Gong Baonan slowly raised the muzzle of his gun and asked in shock: "Who are you?"

The monster quickly cowered into the corner and shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, save me!"
