Chapter 12 The Baoding of the Past of the Republic of China
Li Jinshi returned to the pit, and Feng Jinfei also woke up, but he looked like he had made a big mistake. Also, this disaster was originally because he dealt with the hidden dangers left by the war horse. Li Jinshi worked hard from his injury to the final escape, and finally came back from almost exhaustion, he could fall asleep all night, and he felt that he couldn't live with his eldest brother. Fortunately, last night passed peacefully, if he really put the three brothers in danger because he fell asleep, or if there was any accident, it would be unforgivable.
"Big brother, I'm ......"
"Alright. Isn't that all right? Besides, I also fell asleep, and I didn't fall asleep that day watching the night in the nunnery. ”
Li Jinshi was also a little afraid when he said this, it seems that his brother still has nothing to do in his heart, and both of them are like this. I didn't have an accident because of this. Master once said that anything can be overthought and defeated. used to run away with the master, and he always slept with the second child, and the master kept vigil. I thought I could do it by doing it in rotation, but I couldn't ....... Luck can't always cover a few brothers, unless it's born by God. It's true that I'm too tired, and I came out of Tangshan trembling, and I haven't been stable for two months.
Looking at Li Jinshi in a daze, Feng Jinfei was also in a daze, and he also considered the repeated problems. This is a matter of inertia in thinking, Feng Jinfei is good at strategy, but he is used to listening. In the early years, whether the master and apprentice were three or went out alone with the master, although he often had thoughts in his heart, he did not refute them out of respect, and there were very few people who were really involved in danger over the years because of lack of thinking, and even this time it did not lead to consequences. This makes him think that when he compares his thinking with the results, it doesn't matter whether he is thoughtful or not. If it is not responsibility, that is to say, if it is not for him to take responsibility this time, it is still impossible to reflect on himself. Master had an explanation of how the three brothers escaped, but he was still used to the previous respect, and he had never thought about the itinerary.
"Big brother, let me tell you if it's okay. Feng Jinfei also felt that he was lazy to rely on his eldest brother in the past two months. "Now, let's hurry at night first, based on whether the junior feels tired, we will rest when he is tired, and the same will be true in the future. In this way, both of us can conserve our stamina and adapt at any time. ”
"Okay! San'er, when you're tired, you have to say. ”
"Before we arrive in Baoding, we will not take the official road or enter the big city, even the larger towns will be avoided. I'd rather spend more effort and never get involved in danger. ”
"Okay, listen to you. Besides..."
"From now on, by dawn, we will save physical strength, with the footsteps of the junior and the road that we have to catch up with during the day today, it should be a hundred miles away from Tianjin. After dawn, depending on the situation, if there is no news of the pursuers, they will also walk through the village and alleys with craftsmen. In addition, the luggage can no longer be evenly divided by the eldest brother alone. In the future, whether it is in the wilderness or in the village, the night will be vigiled, and the three people will rotate every night. The third son is in front of him, and then the two of us each have two hours, so that we can rest. ”
For the first time, the brothers finally had a general rule of conduct. The luggage was repacked and was carried by three people according to their weight. Xiao San's face was excited, he had thought about it for a long time, he was more and more able to help, so he was happy to accompany his brothers to escape.
Maybe the Tianjin garrison was really perfunctory to the Japanese, or maybe it was because their means and speed of escape were much higher than that of the pursuers, anyway, they had been safe and sound since that night. At the beginning, I also pumped a fierce son to the official road to test whether there was an investigation, and after playing a few times, no one paid attention to it and it was not interesting to honestly implement the established strategy.
From Tianjin to Baoding less than 400 miles, the brothers walked for almost a month, and they really walked through the villages and alleys to perform in the rivers and lakes. This month is the most rigorous and stable month since they started Tangshan. When they arrived at the gate of Baoding, everyone looked at it as craftsmen.
The south of Baoding City is not far from the city gate hole, and it is estimated that a small courtyard with five or six bends can be turned from the main street, which is regarded as a corner. The yard is also dilapidated, the single courtyard is a row of main houses, there is no wing, there is a kitchen next to the door of the main house, and a thatched pit is enclosed in the southwest corner. The courtyard wall is low, and anyone who stands in the pit to pee can see it, and it is to see people. Originally, the main house was also full of holes, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, and it was a deserted yard. Half a month ago, there were three repairers who ran the rivers and lakes to sell their arts, and they moved in. No one cares, and as for the original owner, it's hard to say whether he is alive these years. Besides, these three brothers are very benevolent and righteous, and their uncles and aunts are diligent, and they never talk about money when they work for the neighbors. Or not to buy rare food for the children. Who wants to do that more. Besides, I don't know how to occupy my own house. Therefore, the brothers settled down in Baoding.
According to the agreement, wait for the news about the Master in Baoding, and we can meet closer. Feng Jinfei dressed up brightly every day, and left before dawn to go to the rich area of West Street, using his skills in Xiangbaozhai to get acquainted. Li Jinshi got up and taught San'er the art of the master first, and then led Zhao Jincheng to continue to walk the village and alleys to sell his crafts, and sometimes he also picked up some work at the dock, mixing the three teachings and the nine streams. When I came back in the evening, Jinshi and Jinfei tutored San'er to learn literacy and culture. There are still a lot of fiat currencies, enough for them to toss, not to mention that they can also mix food and clothing by doing so.
First of all, Tianjin Baoding was tepid, although it was once the capital of Hebei Province, but all the disputes were in Beiping and Tianjin, and several major wars did not hurt Baoding too much. Generally whoever robbed Beiping and Tianjin, then Baoding is whose family, Baoding has no separate forces, and has always been dependent on Beiping and Tianjin. So my brother has been tepid in the past few months, and occasionally I heard that the communist bandits were arrested, and I also heard that they moved to the provincial capital. There is no concubine who steals people, and whose son is not as good as his father, and there is almost no useful news. However, Feng Jinfei changed some valuable things, in his words, fiat currency has a region and a lifespan, but these have no region and last for a long time. Anyway, it costs fiat currency, and Li Jinshi is up to him, but he still asks him to touch more jade, and the master loves that.
Probably my brother has been in Baoding for more than four months, and it has already entered winter, and there have been a few snowfalls. Inland river transport is not doing business in the winter, and the docks are gone. If you want to have work to do, you have to go a long way, and you can't go back and forth that day. Li Jinshi was at home in the winter, and by the way, he supervised Zhao Jincheng to practice some basic skills of finger strength, arm strength, and leg strength. The four-month-old junior has also grown taller, and he will be eleven years old in the New Year. Feng Jinfei still went out early and returned late, and the entire West Street knew that there was a Feng boy with poisonous eyes and a brush, and he was also unceremoniously palmed and pulled. From time to time, I also brought banquets to the brothers at home, saying that it was from that restaurant. The days passed so comfortably, as if returning to Tangshan.
Look at the flickering light of the kerosene lamp in the wallboard, and then look at the little three who support the handstand with two fingers. Li Jinshi sat next to the fire, sat on a stool, took a sip of wine, and estimated that the time was almost enough for San'er to get up. I also poured him a glass of wine, and it was comfortable to warm up his body on a cold day. Then warm the wine again, and it's time for the second child to come back.
"Big brother" Feng Jinfei came back, opened the broken cotton curtain and screamed when he entered the door, a little choked. "Big brother, Master...... Master, he's gone! "I started crying without specifying.
"What did you say, Master, what did you say?" Li Jinshi dragged Feng Jinfei's eyes were blood-red.
"Master asked the Beiping government to kill him!" said he shuddered and took out a newspaper. There is a palm-sized black border frame, and the title reads, "Lone thief swallow Li San Li Jinghua was shot at the entrance of the vegetable market in Beiping today." Li Jinshi didn't read the words below, and he couldn't read it. I grabbed the newspaper and sat on the stool, tears flowing. The second and third squatted on the ground and cried.
It's gone, the master is gone! It's gone! Li Jinshi thought so hard about the master in his head, but he couldn't remember what he looked like or the scene of teaching himself for 20 years. Only when Tangshan left: save your feelings, save your life, and protect your belongings. Reach out and touch out the jade pendant of the Tianzi brand, and rub it. He had the intention to go to Beiping to make a big fuss, and count a few of those who were related to the death of the master. Take a look at the second and third squatting on the ground......
The next generation of children will have the words of heaven and earth in the name of the jade pendant, and once we are separated, we will finally recognize each other with the jade pendant. ”
The brothers all took out the jade pendant and rubbed it in their hands, but there was no sound. All let their tears flow.
When people are extremely sad, it is not howling, nor is it fainting, but it is clear that you are awake but not in a trance.
