Chapter 226
After passing through the outermost two rows of houses, the old man turned a corner and got into another alley, Chen Dahe and Ma Jiatong had to hurry up to follow, if they got lost here, and they couldn't even find the bones, then they were really wronged.
As he went deeper, Chen Dahe suddenly found that the environment inside was much better, at least the road surface was neat and clean, the air was not so bad, and if he went up a few floors, he might be able to enjoy the sunshine.
Looking at the back of the old man in front of him, Chen Dahe exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa, it's okay inside, why don't you clean it up outside." ”
"That's fooling outsiders," said the old man without looking back, "only those people here who don't have a good life will be at ease." ”
"That's a good idea, it's just that the people who live on the two floors outside are more uncomfortable," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "Ah Gong, if you bring me in, you won't be afraid of me telling those people." ”
The old man snorted twice, "If you can let the descendants of the Ma Jia clan follow you to do things, you won't be so shameless to flatter the British." ”
"What you said is very pleasant," Chen Dahe looked back at Ma Jiatong and smiled, and then continued, "Actually, I am such a person, and it has nothing to do with whether there is anyone from Ma Jia's clan or not." ”
Of course he wasn't so bored to say this, in fact, it didn't make much sense to say it, whether the Xiangjiang authorities governed the Kowloon Walled City or not had nothing to do with the sanitary environment here, but because of the people inside.
The old man didn't say anything, but lowered his head and muttered, "The skin is good, but the skin is really thick." ”
Ma Jiatong, who was full of worries, actually pursed his lips and smiled, Chen Dahe couldn't help but have a slightly dark face, and was about to refute two sentences, but the old man in front suddenly limped again, so he had to hurry up.
It took about ten minutes to walk up and down, through the halls, before the old man stopped, took a key from his jacket pocket, and opened an iron door.
Standing at the door and looking at the sky, Chen Dahe still didn't know how far he came in, let alone where he was.
"There's something nice to see outside, don't come in yet," the old man called casually after entering the house, and a middle-aged woman inside immediately came out and handed over a hot towel, took it and wiped her face, threw the towel on the table, and then shook her head at Chen Dahe and Ma Jiatong, "Follow me upstairs." ”
As he spoke, he went up a narrow staircase next to the living room.
Chen Dahe and Ma Jiatong hurriedly followed, went up the stairs, and counted silently in their hearts by the way, and when they went up to the twelfth floor, the old man stopped and pushed open a door.
At this time, Chen Dahe was already out of breath, looking at the old man and Ma Jiatong who were nothing, thinking that he would go back this time to find Guan San to learn martial arts, not to mention anything else, he couldn't be physically inferior to the woman and the old man, and if he still encountered this kind of thing, he would be able to run away.
When the old man turned on the electric light, Chen Dahe and Ma Jiatong walked in together, and when they saw the scene inside, the two were stunned for a moment, looking at each other at a loss.
This is actually a sacrificial hall, there is a five-story large wooden frame against the wall, on which there are tablets placed in a staggered manner, there are more than a hundred densely packed to say the least, an incense burner is lit on the offering table in front of the tablet stand, and there is an everlasting lamp hanging above the table.
The old man took out three incense sticks from the offering table, lit them with the light of the ever-bright lamp, raised them high above his head and bowed three times, and then inserted them into the incense burner.
Looking at the puzzled two, the old man pointed to the tablets on the shelf and said, "These are the ancestors of my Hongmen, most of them have not died well, and even many bones are gone, only these tablets can be hung." ”
As soon as these words came out, Ma Jiatong's face suddenly changed, she now knows why the old man is looking for trouble with him, I don't know how many Hongmen people died under the Shanpu Camp back then, and some of the tablets on this must be in it, this is a feud.
Noticing Ma Jiatong's face, the old man said expressionlessly, "It seems that you have a good idea, yes, there are twenty-three people who died under the hands of the Shanpu Battalion, among them is the old patriarch, you say this revenge, do I want to take revenge!"
Ma Jiatong immediately raised his head high, "What do you want, just draw the line, but this matter has nothing to do with my boss, you let him leave first." ”
Chen Dahe also felt a big headache at this time, "Grandpa, this is already a new era, and the two of you were also your own masters back then, so why bother to forget it." ”
"Hmph," the old man said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "It's not your ancestor, of course you won't care." ”
After a pause, he said, "This little girl is right, this matter has nothing to do with you, and it is your own request to come here, you can leave at any time." ”
First, there is a debtor who has been wronged, Chen Dahe really has nothing to do with this matter, and secondly, what Dong Jianlei said when he left just now really made him a little worried, that person has a strong military smell on his body, and at first glance he came out of the army, and he was targeted by this kind of person, and a few of them were just a few, if they really came in batches to seek revenge, no one would be able to sleep steadily, not because they were afraid of death, but because there was no need for this.
Chen Dahe smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's not a secret, they are doing things with me now, and if they want me to leave it alone, I can't do it." ”
"It's up to you whether you go or not," the old man glanced at him, then looked at Ma Jiatong and said, "My old man doesn't bully you little girl, since you can come to Xiangjiang, then other people can also come, so let you be the one who can call the shots and come and talk to me." ”
Ma Jiatong opened his mouth, but still didn't speak, and the room suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Chen Dahe suddenly touched his stomach and smiled, "Grandpa, it's almost time for dinner, do you have anything to eat?"
The old man looked at him for a long time, and found that his face was still unchanged, and suddenly laughed, "You have a big heart, let's go, go to dinner." ”
After saying that, he left the room.
The two followed him up to the top floor, and when they walked out of the rooftop gate, they saw that there was a hole in the sky.
This building is not very tall compared to the surrounding buildings, but it is better than the large area, more than double the size of the average building, and the area on the roof is naturally very spacious.
And the whole roof has been rearranged, surrounded by potted plants to make it look like a small garden, the lush flowers and trees are in sharp contrast to the messy gray and white in the distance, there is a small log cabin and a pavilion on the side, and in the middle is an open space, and there are two rows of weapon racks on the side, both long and short.
"Grandpa," Chen Dahe walked among the flowers, stretched his waist and looked around and smiled, "You have a good place, no wonder you don't want to go out to live." ”
The old man smiled and didn't answer, but asked, "You're a good offspring, what's your name?"
"Haha, my name is Chen Dahe," then pointed at Ma Jiatong and smiled, "Her name is Ma Jiatong, what do you always call her?"
"My real surname is Liang, and the people in the rivers and lakes love to call me Liang Ye, it's okay if you call Ah Gong," the old man nodded, and led them to the gazebo to sit down, "It's stuffy in the house, so let's do it here." ”
