Mantra

Chapter 121

Zhao Haikun told me that during the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese entered Zhaojialou to sweep them up, and within three days they fell ill with a strange disease.More than a dozen people died, so they had to retreat.

Out of curiosity, I naturally asked Zhao Haikun what kind of disease he had, so severe.

Zhao Haikun replied to me, "I don't know what kind of disease it is, anyway, it's contagious..."

When talking about this, Zhao Haikun smiled slightly and said: "God's retribution! Many Japanese soldiers died in just three days. The Japanese didn't dare to stay any longer, so they took the corpses back to Jinan."

However, Zhao Haikun also said that the Japanese were not reconciled after leaving. The next year, they found "ghost soldiers" with "pig mouth" and "fly eyes" to search the Zhao family building, and took away several Zhao family ancestors. dead body for "research".

They became "regular customers" of Zhaojialou.

These Japanese people have fought for several years in the Anti-Japanese War, and they have been tossing around for several years. They come here almost every year, and once they come, they take away some things, from ancient books to dead people, but no one knows their true identity. What is the purpose.

After their tossing, the Zhao family has completely declined.Many children surnamed Zhao left their hometowns and never came back.

After listening to his words, I looked at the wordless stele again and said, "The decline of the Zhao family is all the fault of the Japanese, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with him!~"

Zhao Haikun nodded slightly and said: "Maybe! But no matter what the truth of the incident was, the fact that this person 'led wolves into the house' and kept the Japanese in Zhao's building cannot be changed."

Zhao Haikun didn't continue talking, but his words were very clear.

That person led the wolf into the house and destroyed the Zhao family building.

Regardless of the truth, just focusing on this point is enough for him to be nailed to the pillar of shame forever by future generations.Carrying this "no word monument".

And this stele is a proof of the indescribable shame of this person.

Out of curiosity, I couldn't help asking for the person's name.

But Zhao Haikun's answer made my eyes widen.

He actually told me, "I don't know, no one mentioned his original name. When anyone in the family mentioned his story, they called him 'Sinner Zhao'."

"Sinner Zhao?!" I was stunned.

Zhao sinner!The sinner of the Zhao family.

In this regard, I can understand one or two things. When people are extremely angry with a certain person's characteristics or crimes, they often don't call him by his name directly, but replace his name with a derogatory title.

For example, which Duan Tianshi pretends to be a ghost, I prefer to call him a liar.

Over time, the original name of this kind of person gradually disappeared in the long river of history.

For example, this "Sinner of Zhao" in the population of Zhao's family.

At this time, Zhao Haikun patted my leg, and suddenly said to me: "Tian Buer, let me have a word with you, in front of the blind dates..."

Seeing his serious expression, I also nodded solemnly and said: "I'm listening! Uncle Shi, tell me."

Zhao Haikun was a little excited and said: "The story of the Zhao family, I have told you everything I know. The reason why I told you this is because I decided to..."

Halfway through Zhao Haikun's words, he suddenly couldn't continue, and his emotions suddenly became so agitated that he choked up for a long time before announcing to everyone:
"I am here, and I want to announce in front of all relatives, friends, and elders that my nephew, Tian Buer, is recognized by my Zhao family! He is loyal and righteous! Wearing hemp and filial piety for my second child is the most powerful person in my five internal organs temple." The abbot is the inheritor of my Zhao family's culinary art..."

Zhao Haikun's words made me feel unspeakably warm in my heart, and it also eliminated the last barrier between me and him.

Has he finally recognized me as a nephew?

And the sense of identity, isn't it what I want most in my heart?

I know that Zhao Haikun was somewhat resistant to my presence at first, and I called him "Master Uncle", but he rejected me on the grounds that I and the old squad leader "did not perform the master-student gift".I hinted several times that he wanted to help and intervene in the affairs of the Zhao family, but he also turned a deaf ear to it and even resisted it.

Of course, I understand it's not his fault.

After all, the Zhao family has gone through a series of changes and blows, so it is difficult to trust outsiders easily, and it is also difficult for Zhao Haikun to judge who is the enemy and who is the friend, with such unscrupulous guys as Lei Ren and Duan Tianshi playing side drums.

Fortunately, after going through so much, Zhao Haikun finally trusted me and recognized my ideas.

Immediately, Zhao Haikun took my hand again and said: "Nephew, this Zhao family will be your home from now on, your home! You have a share in the inheritance of the Zhao family."

I understand what that means.

Zhao Haikun gave me the same treatment and recognition as the Zhao family.

And this also means that from then on, my inheritance in the Temple of the Five Internal organs has also been officially recognized.

In other words... in the cook of the Wu Zang Temple, I am no longer a "secret", I have roots.

Starting today, I have just started from an apprentice and officially became the head beam "abbot" of Lunan Confucius Temple, and officially became the origin of Zhaojialou in Lunan.

Although this identity is not given to me by my master, but by my uncle, he has the right to speak.

He is the last heir of the Zhao family, and he can also be regarded as the last "patriarch" of the Zhao family in southern Shandong.

And I may well become the first "heir" of the Zhao family with a different surname after 600 years.

I was very touched by his trust in me.

Under this situation, everyone is indifferent.

That Lei Ren had a sharp hand and a sharp eye, and he bowed his hand first, and said "Congratulations" to Zhao Haikun: "Congratulations, brother Akun, you have given the Lunan Zhao family another inheritance. You really understand the righteousness!"

As soon as Lei Ren spoke, I sneered in my heart.

The drunkard's intention is not to drink, this old man is so shrewd, how could he not take advantage of this good opportunity to make some "requests"?

Sure enough, at the next moment, Lei Ren changed the subject, and said to Zhao Haikun with a wicked smile: "Brother Haikun is righteous, and he must promise a thousand gold. This Haipeng has been buried safely, so do we have to talk about the things between us?" , and that kitchen knife..."

After listening to his words, my heart suddenly understood.

Sure enough, a dog can't change the ****!

This profiteer's fox tail can't wait to show it.The purpose of his thrust was still to look at the kitchen knife handed down by the Zhao family.

Before my old squad leader's bones were cold, he came up with the idea of ​​inheritance, and... he really didn't treat himself as an outsider.

Facing Lei Ren's "reminder", my uncle Zhao Haikun snorted unhappily, and said with a heavy face, "Of course I will let you see the kitchen knife, so why worry! Go back and talk about it."

After Lei Ren got the reply, he nodded with a smile, and he retreated to the funeral procession.But it attracted a series of contemptuous glances.

After this unpleasant incident, the entire funeral procession quickly quieted down. Everyone remained silent and returned to Zhaojialou Village with their heads bowed.

After returning to Zhaojialou, Zhao Haikun, Zhao Shuihe and I were busy, and set up a table of running water seats to send off the funeral folks.

In the afternoon, we sent off the last wave of mourners.

After that, Zhao Haikun got nervous and called me to a place alone.

I know that he has something important to discuss with me.
