"No, please don't call me Mr. Hu, just call me Mr. Hu, otherwise you and I won't be able to drink this wine."
After hearing Ye Tian's name, Hu Hongde waved his hands repeatedly. Gou Xin's family had a close relationship with his father. Logically speaking, he was a generation younger than Ye Tian. Calling him "Old Hu" was all because he took advantage of Ye Tian.
Ye Tian has long been accustomed to his position in the world, and he did not refuse at the moment, and said: "Okay, then I will call you Lao Hu. Have you ever met my senior brother?"
"I've seen it for 40 years!"
Hu Hongde poured himself a glass of wine, drank it down his throat with a tilt of his neck, and recalled: "The Golden-Eyed Eagle came to the Northeast to contact the anti-Japanese armed forces and found my father. If it weren't for him, my father and I would have been killed by the little devils."
Surrounded..."
Although Hu Hongde was only eight years old at the time, he had a particularly profound memory of that day because after that day, he left his father's village and returned to the county town to live.
After the Japanese occupied the three eastern provinces, Hu Yunbao, who was originally just a hunter in the Changbai Mountains, pulled a pole up the mountain, proclaimed himself Commander Hu, and gathered more than a hundred people under his command.
Most of these people are hunters or old ginseng hunters who live in the Changbai Mountains. They have a lot of guns and ammunition, and they are very capable of fighting in the mountains and forests. They have fought against the Japanese several times, causing heavy losses to the other side.
Hu Yunbao was even more skilled. He once broke into Fengtian Mansion with eight brothers, robbed a Japanese bank, and emptied the bank's vault.
While the Japanese were rounding up the entire city, Hu Yunbao entered the Japanese military camp alone, assassinated the highest-ranking major general in the military camp at the time, and took advantage of the chaos in the city to lead his brothers
An Ran escaped from Fengtian.
After this incident, Hu Yunbao was hailed as the Northeast Hero by the people on the Northeast Road at that time, and his reputation was unparalleled for a while. However, people are afraid of being famous than being strong, and he also attracted a crazy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese.
However, Changbai Mountain has dense forests and vast territory. Hu Yunbao and his men were at home in the mountains. They survived several sieges and suppressions, but their reputation became increasingly louder, and they became the masters of the Northeast Road at that time.
Not only were the Japanese looking for Hu Yunbao, but the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance and the Kuomintang government had sent people several times to recruit him, but they could not find any trace of them.
It was a winter that was so cold that it could freeze your ears. Heavy snow had already closed the mountains. According to the experience of previous years, the little devils could not enter Changbai Mountain at all. Therefore, Hu Yunbao also relaxed his vigilance and changed the original double sentry to a single sentry.
But who would have known that during the Spring Festival of 1940, when Hu Yunbao and many of his brothers were having a great time drinking, a group of young Japs led by a traitor from his village reached the foot of the mountain.
With a team of more than a hundred people, the Japs used a whole brigade, which shows their determination to encircle and suppress Hu Yunbao. What's terrible is that Hu Yunbao and others are still busy celebrating the Spring Festival.
But before the little devils could completely surround the mountain forest, an uninvited guest came to the village first. He was Gou Xinjia.
Hu Hongde, who was only eight years old at the time, can still clearly remember that the Gou Xin family only used three moves to capture his father, who was known as the invincible fighter in the Northeast, and told them about the Japanese's actions to surround the mountain.
People in the Jianghu are good men, and since this matter is related to his family and life, after being let go, Hu Yunbao immediately arranged for people to investigate. Not long after, gunfire rang out from the bottom of the mountain.
Fortunately, Gou Xin's family arrived early and the siege of the Japs had not yet been completed. Hu Yunbao led more than a hundred brothers to fight desperately and escaped into the depths of Changbai Mountain.
However, after this battle, most of Hu Yunbao's brothers were killed or injured. Even Hu Hongde's mother was killed by stray bullets during the breakout.
The life-saving grace was overwhelming. After Hu Yunbao escaped, he was naturally grateful to the Gou Xin family. The two drank blood wine and worshiped each other among the white mountains and black waters. Hu Yunbao also accepted the appointment letter from the Kuomintang government.
Ever since he went up the mountain and pulled the pole, Hu Yunbao had put life and death aside, but he was a little reluctant to let go of his only son, Hu Hongde.
When Gou Xin's family came out of the mountain, he handed eight-year-old Hu Hongde to his brother and asked Gou Xin's family to take his son to the home of a distant cousin who ran a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
It was not until Japan's defeat and surrender five years later that Hu Hongde saw his father again. At that time, Hu Yunbao had already held the rank of major general of the Kuomintang.
However, after driving away the Japanese, Hu Yunbao really had no interest in fighting the civil war, so he settled in his uncle's house. Hu Hongde's kung fu was the foundation laid at that time, and he also inherited the traditional Chinese medicine skills of his uncle.
"Lao Hu, you actually have such a deep connection with your senior brother?"
When Hu Hongde talked about it, Ye Tian couldn't close his mouth after hearing it. Hearing the story of killing Japanese soldiers and fighting against Japanese invaders half a century ago made his blood boil with passion, and he hated himself for not being born in that era.
Ye Tian also admired his senior brother from the bottom of his heart. Because of the education he received since childhood, he was not very interested in the Kuomintang, and he was originally somewhat disapproving of the Gou Xin family's identity.
But today Ye Tiancai knew that when the country was in crisis, his senior brother was not sitting in the office casting spells and giving orders, but was holding his head and fighting against the little Japanese!
"Yes, my uncle carried me for three days in waist-deep snow before we walked out of the old forest. If it hadn't been for him, my father and I would have died long ago!"
Hu Hongde's eyes were a little red. After he came out of the mountain, Gou Xin's family stayed with him for more than a month. They left when they saw that there was no danger. When they left, they kept all the ten small yellow croakers given by their father.
"Ye Tian, where is uncle now? I want to see him and kowtow to him!" Hu Hongde raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot and he was a little excited.
"Lao Hu, don't get excited, your granddaughter is still lying on the hospital bed!" Ye Tian shouted in a deep voice, with a hint of spiritual power in his voice. Although the words were not loud, they shocked Hu Hongde and woke him up.
"Oh, it's all my fault that I only wanted to practice martial arts and didn't want to learn and teach martial arts. Otherwise, or..." Hu Hongde sighed with endless regret.
"I was just going to ask you this."
Hearing Hu Hongde take the initiative to bring up this matter, Ye Tian said: "Old Hu, since you have such a deep connection with my senior brother, you should also know about my sect, right?"
Hu Hongde nodded and said: "I know, my uncle once told me that you are from the lineage of Mai, and you are the best in the Central Plains magic."
"Then your Hu family originally belonged to the Sun and Moon Dao, how come you didn't inherit it?" Ye Tian asked.
"Oh, it's all my fault that I was ignorant when I was young..." Hu Hongde drank another glass of wine in a depressed tone and talked about what happened after his father came down from the mountain.
Hu Hongde knew the martial arts passed down from his family, but when he was young, he only wanted to practice kung fu and had no interest in magic techniques such as asking gods to draw talismans and recite spells. Hu Yunbao took a stick and let him learn some.
Children's fur.
After liberation, Hu Yunbao was reported because he had been a political official of the Kuomintang. In desperation, he fled into the mountains and did not leave the mountains until his death in the 1960s. Naturally, he could not supervise his son's practice of martial arts.
.
When the unprecedented movement swept across the country, Hu Hongde's wife was afraid that the ghost-like books left at home would cause disaster, so she stuffed them into the kang and burned them all.
Since then, the inheritance of the Hu family in Northeast China has been ruined at the hands of Hu Hongde.
Although Hu Hongde regretted it afterwards, those inheritances had long been burned to ashes, and he had no choice but to open a small clinic based on the traditional Chinese medicine skills he learned in his early years.
Therefore, although Hu Hongde knew about Qimen and some of its methods, he had been excluded from Qimen. Just like this time, he suspected that his granddaughter had been possessed by a spell, but there was nothing he could do.
Hu Hongde suddenly remembered something, grabbed Ye Tian's hand and said, "Ye Tian, if I can save Xian'er, I will definitely be able to save her!"
When they were besieged by the Japs, Gou Xin's family once set up a formation to block the enemy, allowing the Japanese who were chasing them to circle in place all night, otherwise Hu Yunbao and the others might not be able to escape easily.
Thinking of this, Hu Hongde mentioned that his granddaughter's somewhat gloomy eyes became brighter, and his voice became louder unconsciously.
"I say, uncle, if you keep making any noise, the store will really not be able to do your business."
A waiter came over very unhappily. The old man's voice didn't matter. The chef was shocked again just now, but this knife cut his finger.
"Don't interrupt, haven't you seen me talking about something?"
When Hu Hongde stared, he was so frightened that the waiter shrank his neck, casually took out a wad of money, counted seven or eight hundred and threw it over, "If you come here to cause trouble again, I will smash your store!"
Although Northeastern people have a bad temper, they are also kind to others. Hu Hongde was older and had a ferocious appearance. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more after accepting the money.
"Ye Tian, take me to find my uncle, he will definitely be able to save Xiaoxian!"
After driving away the waiter, Hu Hongde begged Ye Tian. Due to the death of his wife, he did not have a very good relationship with his son and daughter-in-law, but he was very fond of his smart and filial granddaughter.
"Lao Hu, don't worry, Xiaoxian is not in danger this time, and his life will not be hurt."
Ye Tian comforted Hu Hongde, then suddenly changed the topic and asked: "I see some mottled spiritual energy in Xiaoxian's body, I don't know how it was formed? If these spiritual energy hadn't blocked it, I'm afraid Xiaoxian would have been
It’s no longer possible…”
"Well, when Xiaoxian was eight years old, I invited the fox fairy to protect her. However, my skills were not yet up to the mark, and the fox fairy I invited did not have enough mana."
After hearing Ye Tian's question, Hu Hongde's old face turned red rarely. That was the only time in his life that he successfully cast a spell, but he never invited him again.
