At this time, I saw He Xing and He Ping brothers taking the lead, bringing a few catties of people to Luo Yue, He Xing stepped forward first and said, "Master Luo, this is our village chief who saw you coming." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several people immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Luo Yue, led by an old man of about fifty years old, and said: "Villain He Ming, I have seen Luo Junye, thank you Luo Junye for his great kindness, he drove away the foreigners and saved the lives of our whole village, and the people in our village will never forget." ”

Luo Yue was also startled, and hurriedly went over to help the old man led by him up, and said, "Uncle He, hurry up, we don't want to kneel and kowtow." ”

He Xing also said on the side: "Yes, village chief, Master Luo, they really don't want to kneel and kowtow, you get up quickly." ”

When He Ming heard this, he stood up, and then turned back to the others and said, "Master Luo, let's get up, let's all get up." When a few people outside heard this, they all got up, but they all bowed their heads and looked very respectful, and He Ming looked up and peeked at Luo Yue, and then lowered his head, he could see it, and he was a little uneasy.

Luo Yue turned to He Xing and said, "How is your family, is your mother okay?"

He Xing hurriedly said: "Thanks to the blessing of the military master, my mother is fine." ”

He Xing and He Ping's homes are far away in the village, and the houses are simple, and the Russian army has not been in the village for a long time, so they have not yet invaded their homes. He Xing and He Ping's mothers hid at home, only a little frightened, but they were not harmed. And after He Xing and He Ping went home, they were relieved to see that the old lady was safe and sound.

When their mother and son were talking, the village chief came to the door, it turned out that Luo Yue and others had beaten away the Russian army just now, and the village chief was hiding at home, and he saw some of them on the wall, but he didn't know what kind of army was fighting the Russian army, because judging from the clothing and weapons of Luo Yue and others, it was definitely not the Qing army, so he didn't know what this army would do in the village? Although this army defeated the Russian army, He Ming still can't be down-to-earth in his heart, although the Eight-Nation Coalition Army is burning, killing and looting on Chinese soil, doing all kinds of evil, and the military discipline of the Qing army is not much better, this army is estimated to be not much worse, but don't drive the wolf into the tiger, although the Russian army is driven away, but the village still has to suffer.

However, seeing He Xing and He Ping appear, it seems that they seem to know this army, so He Ming is also a little relieved, it is good to have someone who can speak, even if the village makes a little money to make offerings and stabilize this army, it is better than the whole village being looted. Of course, He Ming is so worried, not only because of the responsibility of the village chief, but also for an important reason, that is, He Ming's family is one of the largest households in the village, if the whole village is robbed, his own family must be the first to bear the brunt, just a little short, the gate was smashed open by the Russian army, and the consequences are really unimaginable. So He Ming took his sons and daughters and a few strong hired farmers out of the back door and came to He Xing and He Ping's homes to inquire about the situation.

Of course, the brothers He Xing and He Ping did not hide it, and told them about their shipwrecks and being rescued by the fleet. After listening to what the two brothers said, He Ming was still confused, and he couldn't figure out where this army came from.

Although this is just an ordinary small fishing village, Tianjin is the sea gateway of Beijing, and the exit of the Bohai Sea, and also the location of the Beiyang Yamen, when Li Hongzhang served as the minister of Beiyang, he lived here for more than ten years, and during the Westernization Movement, he founded a lot of modern industries in Tianjin, so Tianjin people in China in this era, they still have some insight and have a certain understanding of the outside world. And He Ming also studied in a private school for two years when he was a child, and he is also a rare intellectual in this village, able to read and write, and often goes to Tianjin, so he has seen some of the world, and is not an ordinary farmer.

But that's it, He Ming also can't see through this army, although judging from the appearance, they are indeed Han people, and listening to He Xing and He Ping brothers, this group of people definitely speak Chinese, and some of them can speak Tianjin dialect, obviously Huaxia people, but it is definitely not the army of the imperial court, because the army of the imperial court will not have such a costume, and of course there will not be such a brave man, beating the foreigners to the ground.

However, listening to what these brothers said, these people seem to be a little different from foreigners and the Qing army. So He Ming strengthened his courage and asked the brothers He Xing and He Ping to lead the way and go to see the commander of this army, of course, He Ming sent his sons and daughters to hurry home, arranged to kill chickens and pigs, prepared a few tables of wine, and told the female dependents to hide and not show up.

Because if you talk to this army, of course, you will be able to entertain them with good wine, but it is nothing to spend money, but He Ming thought that there are still a few young women in his family, his daughter-in-law and daughter, and he can be regarded as a young woman in this village.

When the two sides met, seeing that Luo Yue's attitude was very kind, and he was not as arrogant as the foreigners and the Qing army, He Ming was also a little relieved, and he was bold, and said: "Dare to ask where the military master is a soldier, how many people are there, what do you need, do you want to be stationed in the village, we are also ready to receive and arrange accommodation for all the military masters." ”

Luo Yue was suddenly asked, because he didn't prepare an answer before leaving, and he couldn't say, 'We are the People's Liberation Army, and we are the people who have come to liberate the Qing Dynasty'. However, Luo Yue's reaction was very fast, and he immediately said: "Uncle He, this is a military secret, I can't answer you." ”

When He Ming heard this, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, just treat it as if the villain didn't ask, just as if the villain didn't ask." ”

Luo Yue also saw that He Ming's heart was unstable, so he said: "Uncle He, you don't have to be afraid, and tell the villagers in the village, so that everyone doesn't have to be afraid, we won't hurt the villagers." ”

Liu Tie said in Tianjin dialect on the side: "That's it, that is, we are not Russian soldiers, nor are we Qing troops, we are now waiting for the order of the headquarters, we have to wait in the village for a while, but we are disciplined, and if we don't take a stitch from the masses, you can rest assured." ”

Hearing the local sound, of course I felt closer, but He Ming didn't dare to ask them what orders they were waiting for here, so he said: "I don't know what the military masters need, the villain has prepared a meal at home, although there is no good wine and good Lai, but it is also a piece of the villain's heart, and the villain has also prepared some small gifts, all of which should be to thank the military masters for saving our village." ”

Luo Yue smiled and said, "Didn't we just say it, we are disciplined, we can't accept your things, and we can't come to your house for dinner, so we appreciate your kindness, but don't bother." ”

He Ming was really a little confused, looking at Luo Yue's appearance, it was not a kind word, but he really didn't want his own things, he didn't even eat food, is there really such a good army in the world? He Ming has heard about the book, the Yue family army of the Song Dynasty is strict in military discipline, and there is no crime in the autumn, but unfortunately it is only in the storytelling, at least as far as He Ming knows, there is no such army at all, even if it does not harass the villagers, but it will put forward some conditions, asking for food and money, which is very good. Therefore, he couldn't help but say: "Then how can you do it, you have beaten away the foreign devils and saved our whole village, so can you not even eat? ”

Liu Tie said with a smile: "Uncle He, you really don't have to be polite, we all bring marching food, we can't be hungry, if we have something to ask you for help in a while, we will definitely say it." ”

At this time, Luo Yue suddenly remembered and said, "Uncle He, we came a little late just now, and the Russian army has been demolitional in the village for a while, so the village should have suffered some losses." ”

He Ming nodded, and at this time he was still a little apprehensive, and said: "Isn't it? Just now it was demolished by foreign ghosts like this, but many people died in the village, these foreign ghosts are really hateful, if it weren't for the military masters to come and beat away the foreign ghosts, the village would have suffered a great disaster." ”

Luo Yue said: "Okay, Uncle He, please go and find out, how many people have died in the village, whether anyone is injured, we can treat them." ”

When He Ming heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, and he beat away the foreign devils, not only did he not want anything, he didn't even eat, but he also had to treat the injured villagers, He Ming even thought that he was not dreaming.

In fact, it wasn't just He Ming, even the few people he brought with him couldn't believe it, what kind of army was this? But although he thought so, He Ming completely put his mind at ease, the village was safe, and immediately according to Luo Yue's instructions, he sent people to count the losses from house to house. And He Ming himself rushed home to see how Fanlai was doing.

Of course, He Ming didn't want his family to stop and not do it, although Luo Yue politely declined He Ming's kindness, He Ming still planned to continue to do a good job of the meal, and to make it more abundant, and then personally send it to the soldiers again, after all, they beat away the foreign devils, saved the whole village, and saved their own family, and it was completely appropriate to invite them to a meal, but at this time, He Ming was from the heart, and there was no immunity at all.

And He Ming also has a little idea in his heart, although it is said that the foreign ghosts have been beaten away, but who dares to guarantee that the foreign ghosts will not come again, He Ming still knows something about things outside the village, and now Tianjin is occupied by the foreign ghosts, I heard that the foreign ghosts and ghosts have all gone to Beijing, and the emperor and the old queen mother don't know where they went, so if this group of people is left in the village, even if the foreign ghosts come again, there is no need to be afraid.
