Chapter 111 The black face towel floating on the bamboo pole
Zhou Wen felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, and quickly stopped him: "Stop, stop, stop, let me tell you, Hao Laodao, you are a bandit who lives in a mountain village, how did you learn these flattering words in the officialdom?"
"Hey hey - hey hey hey! It's not like we cooperate with those officials in Fangcheng County - oh, no, it's like colluding with each other, so we just learned a little bit from it." Hao Laodao said coquettishly with a red face.
.
Zhou Wen laughed loudly after hearing this. This bandit, who didn't know a single word, actually said some words in a polite manner, which he had learned a little bit about. He found it very interesting. So he reached out and patted his slightly raised forehead in a joking manner.
The belly said: "Tell me, how did you come to Ertang Village, and you actually gained so much weight? It seems that you have done a lot of work for the villagers. Please explain it to me honestly."
Hao Laodao immediately said with a bitter face: "It's unfair, sir, how dare I bully my savior? I am - I am - the one who has to go to Ertang Village to beg for food..."
It turned out that Hao Laodao was also on the army's extermination list, but someone in his county tipped off the news in advance and knew that he could not resist it. So he dispersed the money and disbanded the team, and he took seven of his close brothers to carry the recently purchased
A Czech-made light machine gun, carrying the remaining gold and silver on its back, headed into the mountains.
I had been hiding for a month, and when I saw that I was running out of food, I secretly sent someone down the mountain to exchange money for some food, but there were troops stationed in the surrounding villages of Fangcheng County, and the people who went down the mountain almost didn't get caught by the army. This time
It's troublesome. You can't use money to eat. So he went all the way to Ertang Village. When he found that there was no garrison here, Hao Laodao thought that he would not kill people or harm women anyway, so he went in to grab a handful and left. What happened?
?
When I touched the entrance of the village, I didn't dare to go in. Why? Because there was a long bamboo pole stuck in the ground at the entrance of the village. The key is that there was a black face towel tied on the top of the bamboo pole, and it was floating in the wind on the bamboo pole. That face towel
There are two eye holes, and no matter how you float, you seem to be looking straight at Hao Laodao.
"It's broken, and you have come to the territory of those ancestors." Hao Laodao was so frightened that his sword spirit flew away, and he turned around and ran away with his brothers.
This was the preparation Zhou Wen had made for the young and old in Ertang Village to prevent bandits. All the bandits in the Fangcheng Mountain area were wiped out by the masked transport team. Even Hao Laodao was frightened. As long as he saw this scarf
Will you know the consequences of entering the village?
Hao Laodao's life has become difficult. He can still make a living with wild vegetables and roots in the mountains. The key is that he has not eaten salt for more than a month. Modern people know that people who do not eat salt for a long time will not react well due to their personal constitution.
1. Some people can resist it for a long time, while others are prone to neurasthenia, electrolyte disorders and other symptoms in a short period of time.
Hao Laodao's cousin had a problem. He was completely weak for several days and would vomit whatever he ate. Seeing that he was so sluggish. Hao Laodao knew that if he didn't give him some salt, he would probably die in a few days.
went.
His cousin was a relative who had saved Hao Laodao's life. How could Hao Laodao bear to let him die like this? So he sacrificed his face and knelt under the bamboo pole at the entrance of Ertang Village. He waited until Uncle Zhao, who was in charge of the village,
When he came out for questioning, he told the whole story about his relationship with the convoy, asking only to exchange money for some salt to save people.
Old Uncle Zhao was placed in Ertang Village to take charge of affairs because he was too old to keep up with the training of the supplementary regiment. He was also a veteran of the Jianghu for many years. He had heard about the transport team's suppression of bandits before, and he knew that Hao Laodao was not lying.
. He felt compassion and agreed to Hao Laodao. Not only did he give him salt in exchange, but he also gave him a bag of white flour.
Hao Laodao rescued his cousin, and he was also grateful to Ertang Village. Sometimes he would bring prey to the village after he caught it. After going back and forth, everyone became familiar with each other. Seeing Hao Laodao and the brothers doing their duty
Old Uncle Zhao had an idea and asked Hao Laodao and the others to move to Yixiantian. He took some of the grain that Zhou Wen had buried and gave it to them.
In this way, Hao Laodao and the others lived a happy life with no worries about food and clothing. He was also a smart man. He knew what Uncle Zhao was thinking, so he sent people to guard the surroundings of Ertang Village in rotation every day, and consciously became Ertang Village.
The bodyguard of Tangcun.
Not long ago, when Xiu Fengliu came to Fangcheng Mountain, he was discovered by Hao Laodao. He knew the name of Xiufeng. He was a murderous and evil bandit. There was nothing good he could do when he came. So Hao Laodao went down the mountain and met him.
As soon as Uncle Zhao discussed it, he led his brothers to Ertang Village.
Uncle Zhao mobilized the whole village, and everyone who knew how to shoot was given a rifle. Even Erya, who learned how to shoot from Gao Xiaoshan, was also issued one. It was Erya's suggestion to set up hidden sentries. Needless to say, Gao Xiaoshan must have taught him the gun.
There were enough, including those left by Zhou Wen before, and those brought by Hao Laodao. But there were not enough people, so a total of more than a dozen rifles and one machine gun were organized. But with these dozen people and guns, they could force fifty
Several gangsters blocked it.
Zhou Wen, who knew the whole story, nodded to Hao Laodao and said, "Yes, Hao Laodao, I didn't misjudge you at the beginning. Just stay here from now on. I have other plans for the eight of you, so you can go back first."
"Yes, yes, it all depends on the commander's arrangements." Hao Laodao was overjoyed. There was a much better future for following this group of ancestors than being a bandit. If not, he could clear his name and go ashore and eat official food.
Zhou Wen turned to Gao Xiaoshan, who was a little embarrassed, and the girl who, although her face was red, looked curiously at him and the red sleeves on her back with a pair of big bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Shanzi, this is Erya
Sister-in-law, you are indeed a woman like a woman. She knows how to shoot a gun, and she also knows how to set up hidden sentries. She is worthy of being the fiancée of my brother Shanzi. Hongxiu, please call me sister-in-law."
The red sleeves on Zhou Wen's back shouted sweetly: "Hello, sister-in-law Erya!"
Gao Xiaoshan said calmly: "Awen, don't talk nonsense, we haven't gotten married yet." The Erya blushed even more because of Zhou Wen's words, and did not dare to look at Zhou Wen anymore. She just lowered her head and stirred her clothes.
The horn doesn't speak.
Zhou Wen laughed loudly and said: "Brother Shanzi, I was right. Anyone who got engaged with us will be called fiancée."
Erya couldn't stay any longer and said softly and shyly: "While you two are chatting, I'll go back first." After saying that, he turned around and ran into the village.
Gao Xiaoshan said sheepishly: "Awen, Erya hasn't seen much of the world, so don't take offense if you are rude."
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "How can I be surprised by my future sister-in-law? She looks like a strange woman at first glance. Brother Shanzi is blessed."
The two of them chatted and laughed and entered the village. They came to the former Jiang family compound, which is now occupied by relatives of the original supplementary regiment. Old Uncle Wu and several other old brothers were talking affectionately with Old Uncle Zhao in the yard.
Without interrupting, Zhou Wen let Gao Xiaoshan lead him directly to the right courtyard. This is Erya's current home. Uncle Huzi's youngest son lives here.
