Yang Bing's grandmother lived at home, and his grandfather Lao Yang Tou lived in a shack on the mountain in the distance with his dog, taking advantage of the free time to cook, Qin Tian proposed to visit the old man's shack, and the old Yang Tou readily agreed, and took Qin Tian to the halfway up the mountain, a shack was set up on a tree, the rope ladder hung down softly, there was a fire pit under the tree, the ashes were already cold, and a Japanese-style 90 steel helmet was hanging on the bracket, and the yellow five stars on it had faded.

Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh: "What do the people in the village live on!?"

"Planting buds, raising chickens, raising sheep or something. ”

"There is little land in the mountains, it is not easy to open up the wasteland, and the next trip to the mountain has to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads, what should the children do when they go to school? What should I do if there are sick people in the village? ”

Old Yang Tou sighed, lit his cigarette pouch and said, "That's the truth, but I can't leave." ”

"Why can't you leave!?"

Lao Yang pointed to a tomb not far away and said, "I'm going to give Commander Kong a spiritual guard." ”

In front of the grave, there was a skeleton wrapped in wire, and Bai Sensen was quite infiltrating.

The tomb is very neatly repaired, and the surrounding area is also made of fire into bricks, and there are no weeds within a radius of five meters, which shows how attentive the tomb keeper is.

Look at this skeleton again, kneeling in front of the grave about one meter or so, the whole length is no more than one meter six, according to reasoning, it should be an island countryman.

"Old man, Commander Kong contributed to the country a lot during his lifetime, right!?"

"It's a long story, when the invading army occupied Baiyuan, a small team of people was stationed, and the people of the four towns and eight counties were in town, and we Huaxia people also had fierce men who did not want to be slaves to the country, Commander Kong pulled up the team, took the devil's turret overnight, cut off eighteen brains, and handed over a crooked handle, and since then erected the banner of our Baiyuan Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, some people say that his surname is the country, some people say that his surname is Gong, and our people don't know those ways, only know that Commander Kong's team is a good man who fights devils!"

Lao Yang patted his thigh: "I was exactly sixteen years old that year, and I was a hunter in the mountains with my father, my father and Commander Kong hit it off at first sight, and worshiped the son, and later my father died when he was fighting with the devil, and entrusted me to Commander Kong as a guard." ”

"And what happened later, how did Commander Kong die!?"

Lao Yang Tou had already finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, knocked the cigarette pot on the sole of his shoe, and was about to open the chatterbox, when a shout came from the direction of the village: "Grandpa, Brother Qin, it's time to eat!"

"Let's go, I'll have time to tell you the story of Commander Kong. The old man got up and walked back to the village.

The banquet has been set up, the clumsy wooden table is placed in the courtyard, the bonfire is set up with half a wild boar, the pig's hair has faded, the skin is brushed with a layer of wild honey, and the fruit tree is roasted, burnt yellow and fragrant, and there are wild rabbits and wild pheasants, and the farmer's home-brewed grain wine, and a table is set up with a dazzling array of eyes.

Qin Tian asked, "Do you really rely on steel forks to hunt wild boars!?"

Lao Yang Tou said: "That's still fake, I used to use guns to fight more, and then the guns were confiscated by the township, so I had to dig a pit and use a steel fork." ”

Everyone is embarrassed, the wild boar is not as cute as the big fat pig in the feedlot, but it is extremely strong, there is no trace of fat on the body, the whole body is stiff black mane, full of fangs, nothing but like to rub on the pine tree, after making a pine oil dry knot, it is a natural armor, this kind of fierce and cunning prey is even more dangerous than the tiger, and Lao Yang, an eighty-year-old old man, can actually hunt with cold weapons, this is simply a myth!

"What gun did you use when you were old!?" Qin Tian asked.

"That's a lot, I used earth cannons when I learned to hunt with my father, and then I followed Commander Kong, and sent me a Hanyang made, good guy, the rifling of the gun is flat, and the bullets come out horizontally, I can't get used to it, so I paid a 38 big cover myself, that guy is really good, within 500 steps, where to fight, the people of the small island country are short, and the marksmanship can be high, and our guerrillas can't kill them alone. Old Yang gestured and unconsciously told the story of the past.

Everyone listened with relish, interjecting from time to time to ask a sentence or two, Qin Tian thought of the articles in some magazines he had read about the Type 38 rifle, so he asked: "I heard that the power of the 38 gun is small, and if it hits, it will be a penetrating injury, and it will be good to lie down for ten days and half a month, is it true!?"

"Penetrating injury!?" Lao Yang was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said: "This is right, it is not right, if you get close to a shot, it is a small transparent hole, you can grow well after a month, if you are shot every few hundred meters, the gods can't save you, you know what's going on!? ”

Qin Tian thought about it and understood what Lao Yang Tou meant, the bullet used in the 38 guns has a small caliber, fast muzzle velocity, the trajectory is too stable, and the close-range hit will not produce rolling, and the bullet will fly unsteadily when it encounters the target, so the damage caused is greater.

"Back then, Commander Kong was a good man, that was the reincarnation of Zhao Zilong, and no one could stop him from entering the enemy army seven times and seven out, but who would have thought that he was a traitor, his head was strangled, his eyes were sprinkled with lime, and he was captured by the devil like this, and finally hanged himself on the city gate building of the Japanese army management office in Baiyuan County - it is now the old county ** of our Baiyuan County, which was built by devils before, and later liberated, and the country moved to the office. ”

Qin Tian listened to the old man's words, a little sour, as a soldier, what he hated the most was that someone stabbed him in the back during the war.

Seeing that the old man was a little sad, I quickly changed the subject and asked him how many wild boars he could catch in a month.

Hutougang is very poor, the children are skinny and skinny, and when I asked, I knew that the average annual income of people in this village was only two or three hundred yuan, and I didn't go to school, and I went to work in the city at the age of twelve or thirteen, Yang Bing is like this, but he is stronger than other children, he has been learning martial arts with the old man since he was a child, and he can learn a little bit of culture, and at least the spirit of patriotism is much stronger than others!

"It's not as good as in previous years, there are fewer wild boars, you can beat two a month, and it's good to complete the tasks in the township!"

"There is still a task in the township!?" Qin Tian frowned.

"Yes, two wild boars a month, and only after handing them over will we send teachers to the primary school in our village. ”

Everyone felt that this crispy and delicious wild boar meat could not be swallowed, and after a moment of silence, the monkey asked, "How many teachers do we need in Hutougang Primary School!?"

The mountain people said, "A few more, one is enough." The year before last, there was still a teaching old office in the village primary school, but later after the national reform, the old office was cleared, and the village primary school was merged into the township center primary school. ”

Another mountain man interjected: "The conditions of the township central primary school are much stronger than the village primary school, but it is too far away, the school is too expensive, the village family cannot afford the accommodation fee and canteen meal money, the babies are still too young, and it is not possible to go to the city to work, and the wild mountains all day long are not a thing. ”

Everyone was silent, they didn't expect the children of Hutougang to be in such a state of survival, Qin Tian walked out of the courtyard gate, surrounded the dogs at the door and scattered, but the children surrounded me, looking at me curiously, their clothes were very torn, their hands were sore, their hair was unkempt, and their faces were red, but their eyes were surprisingly clear.

"Children, do you want to go to school!?" Qin Tian asked with a pleasant face.

"Yes!" the children replied in unison.

"Then you tell me, what's the good of going to school!?"

"When I go to school, I can go to the city to work and help my family earn money. ”

"When I go to school, I can eat meat like Yang Bing. ”

The children were talking about it, although the motivation for going to school was different, but the purpose was the same, that is, to live a better life than now, the simple words, the clear eyes, made me realize that this is not taught by adults, but the children's heartfelt wishes, life in the mountains is too hard.

"Okay, I'll help you find a few teachers when you go back, and I'll also cover the books and stationery!" Qin Tian praised Haikou, the children's eyes widened and they couldn't help but be happy, and the adults also glanced at each other, their faces full of surprise.

"I've got the tables, chairs, and benches!" said the monkey, standing up.

"I have a school uniform, a full set of clothes, shoes and hats, the same as the children in the city!" Lu Wan was not to be outdone.

Zhao Donghui was immediately anxious when he heard this, jumped up and shouted: "The renovation of the school building is mine, no one should fight with me!"

Everyone talked and laughed and finished the affairs of Hutougang Primary School, although everyone was not rich, but they followed Qin Tian to do several votes, and they all had some savings in their hands, and it was really nothing to take this money out.

What's more, they are following Qin Tian now, Qin Tian will definitely not let them be pitied!

At this time, the wine was almost drunk, and the mountain people arranged for the guests to stay, and led them to a fairly flat house, where the beds were already made and the bedding was clean, and everyone fell asleep drunk, and the snoring was shocking.
