Chapter 83: Heavenly Dependents
Eighty-three Heavenly Dependents
"Give me a reason?" Jia Si put down the teacup and quietly waited for Zheng Xuanqi, who was sitting opposite, to speak.
In July last year, a Republic of China gangster drama film directed by Pan Wenjie and produced by Tsui Hark, "New Shanghai Beach" was released in Hong Kong. Xu Wenqiang, played by Leslie Cheung, said "I am just a passerby to this city, and I will leave after I finish what I want to do", -------Xu Wenqiang has always lived in his own spiritual world, he not only has the unruliness of a prodigal son, but also has a sense of responsibility as a man! But in the end he still walked into a place called Jianghu. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there is a conflict of interest, there are fights, even if you leave that place and come to a different environment, the "rivers and lakes" are still with you.
Some people are destined to be extraordinary, even if they have tried to escape before! I just want to tell this kind of person, Thomas Carlyle's words------Life is not endless, there is no end to struggle." Zheng Xuanqi learned some fragments of the ghost-faced man's past from the handshake with Jia Si, and after thinking about it, he said, "The surname Jia reminds me of the "human spirit" and "poisoner" who know the most life-saving instinct in "Three Kingdoms", Jia Xu, the head of the eight gentlemen of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. But in the end, Jia Xu became a winner in life, and in that era of war, when human life was like grass, he seized the opportunity to control his own destiny ------and help others and help himself, and I was favored by God!"

Jia Si didn't laugh, Chen Guoguang and Qin Jinrong who were sitting at the table didn't laugh either, and Zheng Xuanqi didn't joke, his face was serious and confident, and there was no such immature, ignorant, and arrogant expression at all.

"Life is not stopped, struggle is endless------ helping others to help oneself------- being favored by God ------- interesting! No wonder, Lao Chen -------" The middle-aged man with sunglasses muttered softly.
"Brother, Brother Chen is really tempted? He didn't ------ and persuaded us not to do that------" A middle-aged man sitting next to him glanced at Zheng Xuanqi and replied softly.
"Hehehe, it's not easy to hold back all these years! Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Lao Chen, you arhat, but you can't be an arhat, let's be an asura like us------- wait for them to leave, you go and show up, Lao Chen will naturally know that we have arrived, and will wait for him in the old place. โ
At this time, Chen Guoguang already knew his real "hole cards" ------ the few life-and-death comrades-in-arms who had been operating between Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar who could not let go of their anger in their hearts------- the last "Red Arrow" special combat team he joined in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and only five people (including himself) came. He needed their approval! But Chen Guoguang couldn't have imagined that when Zheng Xuanqi left to catch a plane in the end, he paid for the tea money for his table and his old comrade-in-arms' table!
It was only when Chen Guoguang came to the old place alone to meet the one-eyed brothers who went to Guangzhou that they learned about each other.
Such an alert baby------ this is the one-eyed brothers' second impression of Zheng Xuanqi!
The first impression is that this baby persuaded the "Iron Tree Blossom" who has been silent for 10 years and the prime of life with a face like a ghost. Life is not stopped, struggle is endless------- the voice of their generation of veterans!
Guangzhou 19th Route Army Cemetery, the northernmost section of the central axis of the cemetery erects a martyr's monument. The monument is 19.2 meters high and covers an area of 2,298 square meters. The base of the monument is engraved with "The Nineteenth Route Army Songhu Anti-Japanese Martyrs Memorial Surrender", which is the inscription of Li Jishen; The lower end is engraved with the following inscription: "On March 10, 21st year of the Republic of China, Chen Mingshu, commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison, Jiang Guangnai, commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army, Cai Tingkai, commander of the 19th Route Army, and Dai Ji, commander of the Songhu garrison, joined standing stones."
There is a three-dimensional square granite base on the monument, on which a mighty bronze statue of a soldier of the 19th Route Army is erected. The warrior statue is 3.15 meters high, with a rifle on the shoulder and a copper drum cap (bamboo hat) tied on the back. On the front steps in front of the statue, there are 2 pairs of bronze lions lying down, and 8 bronze lidings, which are arranged in turn on the stone tomb railing of the Gongwei monument.
"1 like 2 lions and 8 tripods were taken away and destroyed by the Japanese army in 38 years, and in 91 years, Professor Yin Jichang of the Guangzhou Sculpture Institute copied them according to relevant records, and they have today's appearance!" Chen Guoguang, who was standing in front of the monument, saluted and said to the one-eyed brother (comrade-in-arms) standing next to him.
"Yes, if one day we all die, and there are descendants who commemorate us like this, it will be worth it------ the ashes of our brothers------ there will be an unknown grave! The tone of the one-eyed middle-aged man's vicissitudes carries a lot of pathos.
"My hometown in Sichuan, I haven't been back since?" Chen Guoguang asked softly.
"Ye Luo returned to his roots, what are you going to do if you are already dead! If it weren't for him, he would have left a long time ago. After all------ the babies who were big at the beginning have now reached the prime of life, and have become a bloodthirsty wolf? I don't know if it's for his good or hurts him-------"
"Are you talking about him?" Chen Guoguang gestured with his eyes, an adult man who was about 10 meters away from them, standing in front of the inscription and reading it carefully.
"Well, maybe it's because of the same lineage, neither he nor I like a quiet life!" The one-eyed man looked at his own brother and rarely showed a smile.
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
"Or because of the oath, the last bullet of that ------ was left for me!" Chen Guoguang looked at the prime of life, and then at the one-eye, "The war made you lose an eye, and it also made me lose my big brother and little brother." Speaking from the heart, we are doing the right thing for the country behind us, and we are worthy of the martyrs in front of us------ you still can't let go, after all, this is an era of peace------"
"In the era of peace, I can't let it go! Lao Chen, don't tell me, you let it go? Or do you believe in the group of monkeys in Southeast Asia, the monkeys in Vietnam------ I still remember that there was a person who said that although the world is safe, forgetting war will be dangerous. That person seems to be you, right?" One-Eyed grinned and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, the martyrs are in front, why is your iron tree that hasn't bloomed for ten years blooming again?"
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
"The person you're talking about is the baby who paid for our tea just now, well, teenager? But you seem to be a little different from his original intention by doing this? You're not afraid that this boss will cut off your food and grass at that time!"
"Although the original intention is different, the result is better! You haven't seen this person's series of plans and steps, I just do what needs to be developed earlier and more thoroughly. The content of his plan should be based on national conditions, but the mainland has a congenital defect, that is, guns cannot be touched by drugs, and if they do, they will die. We came out of the army, and we know better the deterrent power of weapons; besides, we are not making a big move, a secret training base, training a few people who can see blood! Although this is different from your current job, it has not changed in essence, except that the temporary employer has been replaced by a long-term big boss. Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and the jungle monkeys, as long as you have money, you can't get anything, not to mention the current northern Myanmar -------" At this time, Chen Guoguang's eyes were full of spirit and fighting spirit.
Looking at his comrades-in-arms who had been born and died, all of them were brothers, and he glanced at his own brother who was bent over and reading the inscription seriously, and One-Eyed couldn't help but think of those days and nights, when several brothers were assassinated, sniped, and hunted down, and the murderous light flashed, and said: "How much can he pay? 500,000 or 1 million?"
"5 million, it will arrive before eleven. Now a million are sleeping in my card!" Chen Guoguang stretched out five fingers and said this number that surprised One-Eye, ignoring his surprised expression, and then said, "Everything should be considered ready now------ Dongfeng?" Turning his head to look at One-Eye, he stretched out his right hand, "It's time to get up!"
"The wind is blowing! I, leopard head, Da Zhuang only believes in the brothers who were born and died, and only trust the comrades-in-arms who once went deep behind enemy lines with us and regarded death as home------ you should understand what I mean, brother-in-arms!" One-eyed stretched out his hand and held Chen Guoguang's right hand tightly, just as a breeze blew, as if in the dark, the soldiers of the 19th Route Army carrying guns were witnessing this comrade-in-arms, brotherly righteousness!
