Wu Lai hurriedly grabbed the old man and smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, how can we take the lead?" I can't sleep right now anyway, so let's just chat, well, tell us why the power went out! ”

When the old man heard this, he no longer insisted, nor did he look for a small stool, so he squatted down by the bed, and took out a dry tobacco bag from under the bed. ”

Although the old man had never smoked Chinese cigarettes, as a senior scavenger, he naturally knew the preciousness of this Chinese cigarette, so he was so frightened that he waved his hand and said: "I can't afford to smoke this, it would be good to have a few puffs of this dry tobacco!" ”

Wu Lai smiled slightly, put one in his mouth, and then stuffed a whole box to the old scavenger, and said, "It's okay, uncle, just smoke this!" Let's smoke and talk at the same time! ”

The old man no longer refused, and carefully took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, Wu Lai had already found a delicate lighter and lit a cigarette for the old man, and he also lit it by the way!

The old man scavenging took a beautiful puff and couldn't help but praise: "It's really good smoke, but it's not as strong as dry smoke!" ”

Wu Lai couldn't help but be speechless, thinking about whether he wanted to get a box of cigars out of his sleeve, and he was afraid that he would frighten this old man who was scavenging, so he gave up!

After scavenging a few puffs of cigarettes, the old man bent down again, reached out and groped under the bed for a while, and then pulled out an iron box from under the bed.

The old man took out the iron box, sat cross-legged on the ground, put the precious iron box on his lap, and then said to Wu Lai very solemnly: "Young man, I will show you something first, this is my treasure, old man!" ”

"Huh?" Wu Lai could see that the old man cherished this iron box very much, and he didn't know what it contained. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The three girls were also very interested, and they all pulled the stools over, surrounded the old man, and looked at the iron box on the old man's lap.

Ren Yalan muttered even more in a low voice: "Well, this old man can't be a reclusive martial arts master, right?" Then I'm going to give the little scoundrel a martial arts cheats or something! ”

"You've read too many martial arts novels!" Mo Xinmeng quipped.

"Phew!" Cheng Hongfang put her index finger on her red lips and signaled Ren Yalan and Mo Xinmeng to be quiet!

The old man seemed to have some ears behind his ears, and did not hear the whispering words of the third girl, but laboriously broke the lid of the tin box, revealing a neatly folded blue cloth bag.

The old man took out the blue cloth bag, threw the iron box aside, and then began to untie the blue cloth bag layer by layer, the blue cloth bag that was originally the size of a book, after removing several layers of baggage, only his fist was left to laugh, but it was no longer wrapped in blue cloth, but a layer of yellow silk was exposed.

"Huh?" Wu Lai and the third daughter were shocked again, it was obvious that under normal circumstances, what was wrapped in this yellow silk was extremely valuable.

The old man gently rubbed the yellow silk, his eyes were full of cherished gaze, and he sighed: "This is the most precious thing in my life, old man!" ”

The old man said, uncovering the layer of yellow silk, and the things inside finally appeared in front of Wu Lai's eyes, that ...... It turned out to be a glittering metal plaque.

"Military merit medal?" Wu Lai was suddenly taken aback, by the dim candlelight, Wu Lai and the three girls could see clearly, the metal plate was engraved with the words "second-class merit", as well as a five-pointed star and other patterns, obviously, this metal plate is the military merit medal that everyone has seen on TV!

"This is yours?" Wu Lai asked in surprise, did he not see that the old man in front of him who was a scavenger with a slender figure and a face full of vicissitudes turned out to be a soldier!

Sure enough, the old man nodded and replied, "Yes, this is the military medal I got when I was on the front line!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the old man began to tell his life experience, it turned out that the old man was called Wang Aiguo, and he was really a veteran who had been retired for many years, in the seventies and eighties, he was a soldier in southern China, and naturally participated in the war of that year.

After demobilization, he returned to a factory in Tongde County as the chief of the security section, but unfortunately the factory closed down and went bankrupt a few years after the old man was demobilized in the last century, and the old man Wang Aiguo was also laid off.

This pick is 20 years, now Wang Aiguo is seventy-nine years old, soon 80 years old, although it is said that picking up rags can also earn a few money, but Wang Aiguo himself did not have a family, so he donated all the money he earned to the Hope Project, and even relied on his meager income to support several college students, so Wang Aiguo's life has been tight!

Wang Aiguo old man in the factory also allocated a set of old-fashioned units, although the area is not large, but the old man himself is more than enough to live, the reason why he lives in this shack, but there is another reason, the reason is very simple, the old man now lives behind the shack, is a martyr's monument, the following is the old man joined the army together seven fellow villagers, these seven people were sacrificed in that battle, are posthumously regarded as martyrs, because of the agreement when eight people joined the army together, said to return to the roots, so the old man traveled thousands of miles, Brought back the ashes of seven fellow villagers from the front line, and when he was still the head of the security section of the factory, he ran everywhere, and finally established a revolutionary martyrs' cemetery and erected a martyr's monument.

It's just that with the development of the times, especially in recent years, Tongde County, as an old revolutionary area, has also begun to develop, and the place where the revolutionary cemetery was established was originally in the suburbs of Tongde County, but with the expansion of the urban area over the years, it has gradually been included in the county, and with the planning of the county, it has also become a hot and prosperous area, so Wu Lai will see so many entertainment venues along the way just now!

The old man Wang Aiguo saw all this in his eyes, he was anxious in his heart, this is the habitat of the heroic souls of his comrades-in-arms, and now it is good, every day the lights are bright and green, drunk and golden, and the sound of glamour does not stop from morning to night, so does it not disturb the peace of the souls of his comrades-in-arms? Therefore, the old man Wang Aiguo started a new campaign, wanting the county to come forward and move these entertainment venues to other places, but for a demobilized veteran, wanting to do such a thing is tantamount to whimsical!

Wang Aiguo ran for two years, but no one cared, but suffered countless white eyes and cold reception, and even in the winter of last year, on the way home from a petition of Wang Aiguo, he was stopped by several security guards of a KTV entertainment city and beaten, the old man's right leg was injured by a shell that year, but that time it was interrupted by several security guards, and the old man has been lying until this spring, before he can barely walk! And this beating is obviously because of the old man's repeated petitions, which annoyed the bosses of these entertainment cities!

After that incident, the old man Wang Aiguo was finally disheartened, and he no longer petitioned, so he could only acquiesce to such a cold reality, but what he never expected was that the bad luck was not over, because the area of this revolutionary martyr cemetery was not small, and it was a desolate wilderness, so the county magistrate at that time happened to be a demobilized veteran, and when he heard that he was going to build a martyr's cemetery, he waved his pen and granted 20 acres, and in the past 20 years, after the management of Wang Aiguo's old man, the 20 acres of martyrs' cemetery has been full of green trees, now the old county magistrate has long been unknown, but now the twenty acres of martyrs' cemetery has been remembered!

In recent years, real estate has begun to speculate, the location of the 20 acres of martyrs' cemetery has become a prime location in Tongde County, all people want to hit the idea of this land, but this time the old man Wang Aiguo is not giving an inch, whether it is government officials to do work, or real estate businessmen coercion and temptation, Wang Aiguo old man just does not agree, and the consequence of all this is that the shack where Wang Aiguo lives is cut off from electricity and water, and there is no basic living security, Wang Aiguo knows what is going on, but it is still a critical point, Unwilling to make the slightest concession, it is obvious that this is the bottom line in the heart of the old man Wang Aiguo, and the old man also threatened that if anyone wants to plot the territory of the martyr's cemetery, they must step on the corpse of my old man.

"Alas! That's the way it is, I don't know how long I can live, but as long as I still have a breath of air, I will never allow anyone to encroach on the resting place of these comrades, it doesn't matter if the power and water are cut off, anyway, I can still hold on, old man! In the end, the old man Wang Aiguo said in a resolute tone, but with that long sigh, it was obvious that there was too much helplessness!

After listening to the words of the old man, Wu Lai already had a plan in his heart, and did not express his position, but asked lightly: "Oh, so that's the case, do you know which KTV beat you last winter?" ”

When the three girls heard this, they all immediately understood, although Wu Lai's tone was flat, she was ready to meddle in this matter, and the next Tongde County seemed to be going to be lively!
