The biggest surprise, of course, was that "General" sent "Zuo Hulong" to the hospital.
On the morning of December 7, "General" and Han Ying were the first people to visit.
When the couple opened the layers of oilcloth in the package and revealed a black tiger dragon that was more than four feet long, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were completely stunned.
Although the object shrunk and turned into dried fish, the sword-like figure and iron-like scales still reminded them of the most frightening moment. For a moment, their chests and abdomen seemed to feel like they were being cut.
The sting.
Of course, they never expected that the treasure they had tried so hard to find, and even risked their lives, failed to achieve. The treasure they had just passed by turned out to have always been around them!
Oh my god, they went in a big circle and came back to the same place, only to realize that it could have been so easy to get this thing!
What kind of rhythm is this? This is obviously the rhythm of God playing tricks on people, making people wish they could vomit three liters of blood!
And just when the two people were dumbfounded and confused, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, the "general" began to tell them the origin of this "frustration of tigers and dragons". Only then did they truly understand what "good fortune tricks people"
”, and my mind calmed down.
The "Frustration Tiger Dragon" of Ganqing was passed down from the distant ancestor of "General" and was obtained in the 13th year of Tongzhi (1874).
Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that the fifth day of December of that year was the day Emperor Tongzhi died.
But what people don't know is that, in fact, long before Emperor Tongzhi's illness was diagnosed, Cixi had already issued a secret order and rushed 800 miles to the "Daxiuula General Manager Yamen" in Liaodong (due to Butt).
Ha means "fishing and hunting" in Manchu, so it is also called Butha Ula. This institution is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and its responsibility is to purchase various specialties from the Northeast for the royal family and nobles of the Qing Dynasty)
He ordered the "Wula General Manager" who was in office at the time to lead his "Ula Sheding" (bannermen specializing in fishing and hunting under the Wula Yamen) and cooperate with the "Jilin General" to summon coastal fishermen to go into the sea to hunt "Suppressed Tiger Dragon"
". I want to use this to save the emperor's life.
Not to mention, later on, the "Shuhulong" was actually caught, and it was the fishermen from Bincheng who lost dozens of lives to get it.
But the day when the work was completed was already after the "Jilin General" received the news of Tongzhi's death in Beijing. Suddenly, of course, a good thing turned into a bad thing.
In this regard, the "Jilin General" was very angry. He missed the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, and he was even more afraid that the news would be leaked. If "General Manager Ula" knew about it and reported to the capital, he would definitely make "Lafayette" angry and resentful.
It led to the disaster of death. From this, he started to murder.
Therefore, on the night when the fishermen returned to the shore, in order to eradicate those fishermen who participated in hunting the "Shuhulong" overnight, the "Jilin General" ordered the soldiers to guard the shore under the guise of a reward of wine and meat.
After all the fishermen were gathered, they were slaughtered.
After this disaster, almost all of the hundreds of innocent fishermen died tragically and became grave goods on the spot. Only one person survived, and that was the "general" who was guarding the "Shuhulong" alone due to a temporary illness and diarrhea and never got off the boat.
Distant ancestor.
Needless to say, once the massacre started that night, the distant ancestor of the "general" understood everything. He was frightened, fearful and hateful, so he took advantage of the chaos and sailed away alone, carrying this unfinished article with him.
The "Frustration Tiger Dragon" on the plane fled into the distance.
Many years later, after learning that "General Jilin" was transferred to another place, the distant ancestor of "General" dared to return to his hometown. Since then, this "Tiger Dragon" has become a "heirloom" of the old Jiang family.
After learning that the "defeating tiger and dragon" in the hands of the "general" had such an allusion, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
They couldn't help but think, if compared with the hundreds of people who lost their lives because of "defeating the tiger and the dragon", what did they suffer and all the troubles they had to go through?
On the contrary, they can save their lives now and get what they want. It is much better than the unlucky emperor who died unexpectedly without waiting for the "defeating tiger and dragon". What else can they complain about?
What's more, if you think about it again, this crime was not in vain.
Because if they hadn't gone through this catastrophe, how would they have known that their relationship with "general" Yang Weifan and other buddies who had only known each other for a short time had already reached the point of being at odds with each other?
Not to mention the relationship between the two of them, which has completely reached the highest level of friendship, to the point where they can sacrifice everything for each other without any regrets.
So up to this point, the nascent resentment that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had not only disappeared in an instant, but also replaced it. They couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in their hearts. They also felt grateful for the invisible hand that could control their fate at will.
A sense of awe.
But in this way, the relationship between them and the "general" became extremely interesting.
Because the two of them were grateful and grateful, they insisted on giving each other generous financial compensation. But the "general" felt ashamed and guilty, and insisted on giving "Fruit the Tiger and the Dragon" away for nothing. As a result, the three of them
I almost got into a fight over this matter.
In the end, Han Ying said something quite reasonable and finally calmed down the war.
What she meant was that regardless of how valuable the "Suppressed Tiger Dragon" thing was, there was no doubt that there were countless lives behind it.
Because no matter how poor and miserable the generations of the old Jiang family were, they never thought of selling this thing. Instead, they passed it down from generation to generation, probably remembering the past and maintaining a sense of respect for these lives.
Now that Hong Yanwu's father relies on this thing to save his life, this thing can be said to be put to good use. It is obligatory for the "general" to give it to a friend as a gift. But if it is sold for money, it would be a bit sorry for the many people who sacrificed for it.
life.
These words were really difficult for Hong Yanwu to refute. He thought about it and felt that the "general" was not short of money now, so he had no choice but to nod.
But then he said very sincerely that even if the "general" was willing to give up his ancestral belongings and risked his life to save their lives, it could not be measured with money. In this case, Da
If he didn't say thank you, he would have no choice but to repay this friendship in the future.
In this way, there were no more disputes about this matter, and everyone was as harmonious as before.
But then, Chen Liquan said something seriously, which made everyone laugh unexpectedly.
This kid actually said, "Xiao Wu, even Emperor Zhi didn't get something, but your father was able to enjoy it. This is amazing. And doesn't this mean that your old man's blessings are greater than those of the emperor?"
What kind of fate is this..."
Hong Yanwu was stunned at that time. He had no idea that Chen Liquan's thinking could be so eccentric.
But what's even more unexpected is that the "general" is actually good at teasing occasionally. This kid is having fun and is already joking.
"I don't know the fate of Xiao Wu's father, but the two of you actually killed a 'Frustration Tiger Dragon' on your own. This is obviously the lone star of the evil god! The fate is so hard that even the gods can defeat it..."
Hong Yanwu immediately shouted stop.
"Stop it! We haven't married yet. If your words get out, who will we look for when we are singles?"
As soon as they heard this, not to mention "General" and Han Ying, it was hard to hold back. The couple laughed out loud together. Even Chen Liquan opened his mouth and laughed "hehe" a few times.
However, this smile affected the wounds in the chest and abdomen, making it look more like a grin.
