The Terracotta Bridge is located in a canyon flat dam at the junction of Hunan, Jiangxi and Hubei provinces, a thousand-year-old stone bridge connects the north and south, and it has been an important place for business travelers to rest and stay and soldiers to fight for in ancient times. Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms, Luo Xiao, the general of Eastern Wu, defeated the Wei army here, so it was named Terracotta Bridge.

It is said that before the liberation, the population here exceeded 10,000, since Taizu and Mr. Peng passed several times from here, to the liberation of the Bingmaqiao there were less than 2,000 people, it took 40 years to have the population of 3,000. Thousands of lives were exchanged for the name of an old revolutionary area, but there was no real revolutionary old area, not to mention whether there had been a founding general or even a veteran cadre, and except for the construction of a dozen martyrs' tombs in the whole township, the higher-level government had never given a single cent of money and food to the soldiers. If you really want to talk about the cheapness of the government, that is, there is a college entrance examination bonus index for the descendants of the martyrs here every year, which is better than nothing.

It can be said responsibly that before the reform and opening up, this was a place where birds did not! The mountain people guarded the ancient roads that were becoming deserted, planted terraced fields that were opened from the hillsides, handed over 300 catties of public grain per mu, and had to support the township government's three overall plans and two retention, so that they could eat bowls of white rice all year round, that is, during the Chinese New Year.

The days are hard, but fortunately, feng shui will take turns.

Thanks to the blessing needed for economic development, and also thanks to the blessing of too many founding generals in the next county, the 320 National Highway, which should be straight, was forcibly bent here, passing through the next county and passing through the Terracotta Bridge. With the national highway, there will be the provincial highway and county road connected to it, the location of the terracotta bridge is also extinct, the territory of Jiangxi Province is Pingba, and the territory of Hunan Province and Hubei Province is full of stone mountains, and the town that is stuck at the junction of the national highway, provincial highway and county road has also prospered rapidly.

In the first two years, the small streets of two or three hundred meters were full of small restaurants and grocery stores opened by the old cousins nearby. In the next two years, the wooden shed became a brick house, the small street of two or three hundred meters became a street that stretched for thousands of kilometers, and the earliest restaurants and miscellaneous stores became hotels, restaurants, guesthouses, car repair shops, beauty salons, and health massage parlors...... No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, day or night, there are always cars coming and going, and there are always people who open their doors to do business.

It was the height of summer, and the lights were on. In front of the various hotels and restaurants with flashing neon lights, large trucks full of goods roared to stop and roar away, and from time to time the rough voices of the drivers sounded, and occasionally there were coquettish and playful sounds, which was really a busy and peaceful scene.

Suddenly, a roar sounded in a lively restaurant: "Brothers, listen: we are looking for someone, it has nothing to do with you, no one should move." If you don't listen to the greeting, don't blame the brothers for being polite!"

After the roar, the restaurant immediately fell silent, and the drivers who ate looked at the green-skinned gangsters with short wooden sticks, and the sluts who were flirting with the waitress also closed their mouths. In the private room next to the hall that specially received the cargo boss, when several bosses who were eating and drinking heard this roar, everyone's faces changed greatly.

Seeing that the guests were disturbed, Boss Tao, who was socializing in the private room, hurriedly came out with a good cigarette. However, the gangsters who usually could joke with him and call him a big boss turned on his cigarette, pressed his shoulders with two dead sticks, and threatened: "It's none of your business, stand here and watch the show." If you don't give face to your brothers, don't blame your brothers for not giving you face!"

A group of short-lived dogs, the smiling Boss Tao said yes again and again, waved his hand to signal the fourteen or fifteen apprentices who ran from the car repair shop next door with wrenches and iron rods in their hands to go back, and then took the lively son to his side, and stood there as a mud bodhisattva. Seeing that the boss with more than a dozen stunned apprentices under his command softened, the gangsters began to smash the door of the private room with short wooden sticks, and these gangsters who ate brutal food didn't know what politeness was.

Hearing the sound of a drum beating on the door of the private room, the waitress in the cheongsam inside the door was so frightened that she lost her mind and didn't know whether to open the door.

With a 'bang', the brown door was slammed open, and seven or eight fierce offspring poured in. These young people are bald or inch-haired, with hideous faces and black oak sticks in their hands, and these middle-aged people know that these are not good birds when they see them.

Chinese people are good at gambling, especially drivers, and they are lustful.

In recent years, Bingmaqiao has prospered rapidly, and gangsters from surrounding counties have also flocked to beg for a living, and gambling and prostitution are their livelihoods. These gangsters are extremely fierce, and when they encounter the public security of the brigade, they disperse in a hurry, and when they encounter a joint defense team with only batons, they will fight when they disagree. At the beginning, the county rectified several times, but each time it was only a few days, and after a long time, it turned a blind eye, as long as no vicious incidents occurred.

These bosses, who were talking about business, knew that the gangsters only collected protection money for beauty salons and massage parlors, cheated in casinos, and lent usury, and did not rob or blackmail drivers and bosses.

Seeing that there was no one they were looking for in the private room, the leader of the gangsters said: "Bosses, don't bother, the sixth brother will give gifts to the bosses." ”

After saying the scene, the rough sixth took out half a pack of Furong Wang cigarettes from his trouser pocket, sent a circle from left to right, and then stood in the half-filled hall, and said loudly: "Brother Bai in the county, are you not here?"

As he spoke, the leading thug looked at the private rooms that had already opened the doors, and swept them over the faces of the bosses who were either securing goods or negotiating business.

When the bosses met his eyes, they all shook their heads in panic, but they were also relieved and said secretly: "Lao Bai is a single fleaty phoenix is not as good as a chicken, this sixth is also fierce enough, no wonder he can make such a big reputation." ”

Seeing that everyone was afraid, the secretly proud sixth raised his voice and shouted: "Brother Bai, you are bragging about the skin in the county, saying that no brother dares to blow up the thorn with you, and if the skin is loose, he will come to you tightly." Aren't we here? Lao Bai, you're the boss of the county, why did you become a turtle with a shrunken head?"

The rest of the gangsters laughed loudly and shouted: "Old white ghost, if you have the ability, come out." ”

"Mom, I'm afraid of you in the county, and I'm afraid that you will be harder in the Terracotta Bridge?"

"It's still the boss, and the old face will make you lose your hair!"

Seeing that the more his subordinates shouted, the more unpleasant they became, the sixth brother in the lead hurriedly said: "We, the brothers on the street, serve a bowl of righteousness and eat a face meal. Today, we are only looking for Lao Bai, and we will not involve other brothers in the county. ”

After waiting for a while, he still didn't hear the old white voice, and the sixth said in a loud voice: "Go to all the rooms and take a look, and when you see Brother Bai, invite him out." He is the boss of the county, and when he arrives at the Terracotta Bridge, he must be entertained well, and he can't say that we countrymen are rude!"

The thugs suddenly agreed, and went from room to room with hardwood sticks to search.

At this moment, a scolding voice came from the private room in the westernmost room: "Get out!"

As soon as they heard that someone dared to blow up the stab, all the gangsters shouted: "The old white ghost is here!"

"Old white ghost, get out of here!"

", what a big dog, you dare to run to the Terracotta Bridge?"

The gangsters outside were arrogant, but a mocking voice came from the private room in the west: "Lao Tzu is not surnamed Bai, but you little gangsters are too arrogant, do you really think that no one can cure you?"

The thugs blushed with anger and their necks were thick, and the two nearest thugs pounced on them with short sticks in their hands. But I heard the sound of "ouch" and "ahh Then two or three more thugs rushed in one after another, but they only heard screams and fell out one by one. These thugs shouted and cursed, but no one dared to rush in anymore.

The sixth leader ran to the door with a bench and looked in, only to see a middle-aged man with a dignified face and a young man sitting there eating, and two capable young people standing by the door, hurriedly throwing the guy and arching his hand and saying, "The two brothers are very skilled, may I ask the honorable name?"

The middle-aged man in the room continued to eat as if he didn't hear it, and the young man Sven, who stopped eating chopsticks, was about to say anything, but the young man standing by the door smiled and said, "Boy, have you forgotten your grandfather's surname?"

The momentum is surging, but it makes people educate like a grandson, and is regarded as a grandson, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old half-old man who was blocked by Boss Tao couldn't help laughing, and actually laughed out loud.

"Damn, you want to die, don't you?"

A gangster scolded angrily and rushed over, and Boss Tao, who was eager to protect his son, hurriedly blocked his son behind him, but he was stunned by two slaps, and the lighter in his hand flew out and fell into a soup bowl next to him.

"!"

Immediately after, there was a loud 'bang', and Hou Sheng, who was splashed with hot soup, jumped up, picked up the chair under his buttocks, and smashed the thug to the ground and pumped straight away.

"Shoot him!"

"it!"

The gangsters who had just lost face were furious, picked up the wooden stick and pounced, and Boss Tao, who had just been stunned, also reacted, and immediately shrank behind the stout descendant. Seeing that the stout offspring was outnumbered, he hurriedly scolded the private room in the west: "Those unrighteous dogs in the room, someone helped you fight, and you shrank your eggs as turtles?"

Damn, what kind of kid is this?

The two junsheng, who were standing by the door and eager to try, looked back at the middle-aged man at the table, saw him nodding, and immediately rushed out and scolded: "Stinky boy, keep your mouth clean!"

The half-grown man who was shrinking behind his father saw that the helper finally came out, and said with a mouth full of feces: "Lao Tzu brushes his teeth every day, and his mouth is fragrant, you have the ability to pull a pile of out of your mouth!"

Damn, why does this kid's mouth stink so much?

The two capable people were secretly angry, and their subordinates could not stop, and the rabbit beat seven or eight thugs into a rolling gourd, and squinted at the young man whose face was splashed with blood, and scared gloomily: "Boy, you are fat enough!"

The young man with clear eyebrows did not show weakness, broke free from his father's hand, wiped the blood stains splashed on his head with his arm, and was not afraid of being angry: "Don't come to this set, the old man Taizu taught you to say - serve the people!"

"You", the two descendants were angry, staring at this stinky child's eyes and burning with fire.

At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from the private room, "Xiao Lu, go and settle the bill." ”

"Yes".

The young man immediately put on a smiling face, stretched out a white and clean slap, and said enthusiastically: "Chenghui 112, the fraction is free, only 100 will be charged to you, welcome to come next time."
