Seeing that Xiao Lin was drunk, the leader of the horse gang said to the old man: "I'm sorry, thank you for your hospitality, old man, it's inconvenient to disturb you, so I leave." ”

The old man smiled: "Go slowly." ”

The leader of the horse gang walked up to Lu Gang again and said sincerely: "Lu Gang, in a few days, you will just wait for my rabbit." Lad, there will be a period later. ”

After sending the horse gang leader away, the old man said to Lu Gang: "Lu Gang, go to my house and get hangover medicine for Xiao Lin to eat, come here." ”

It's the first time I've been in the old man's house for so many days.

The space is large, a big bed, a big table, a rattan chair, a large cabinet, and very simple furnishings, Lu Gang only then saw from the four treasures of the study on the table why the old man locked himself in the house after practicing the exercises.

It turned out that he was practicing calligraphy. Spread out on the table, a few words written on a piece of paper:

Elegant and smart, flowing water, full of pen and ink, strong and strong, majestic and simple, like a knife engraved, this is the first time Lu Gang has seen such calligraphy. He asked the old man, "Master, do you practice this every day when you stay here?" ”

The old man came over and gave Lu Gang a pack of medicine: "I have lived in the mountains for a long time, I have nothing to do with the world, I have nothing to do, I practice my hands and heart, I don't miss my time, I am old." Hahaha. Take this, give it to Xiao Lin to drink, make sure you wake up tomorrow and be fine, go ahead. ”

"Master, then I'll go." Lu Gang took it and said. The old man shouted to him again: "Forget it, let Tianhao send it over, I still have something to tell you, Tianhao, Tianhao, come in." Tianhao came in, and the old man gave him the medicine and asked him to send it to Xiaolin's room.

"Do you know if you need it?"

"Know, boil water, soak and drink."

"And the monkey and Camp Commander Geng also drank too much, so they also had a drink with them."

"Brother Pole also drank too much. Would you like to have a drink with him? ”

"You don't have to worry about it here, I'll soak it here, go and go."

After the old man finished speaking, he said to Lu Gang: "You move this rattan chair to the edge of the piano table, and we can have a good chat." After speaking, he went to make sobering tea, and Lu Gang was already standing next to the piano platform waiting for him.

"Sit." The old man pointed to the stone bench and sat down on the wicker chair himself.

"Master, please." Lu Gang picked up the tea from the stone slab and handed it to the old man, and he also took a cup in his hand and asked, "Master, what do you have to tell the apprentice?" ”

"What do you think of this horse gang leader today?"

"You mean his kung fu?"

"It's not."

"Drinking?"

"Drinking depends on character. Lu Gang, I noticed that the Ma gang leader is unreliable and an unreliable person. ”

Lu Gang didn't understand that Master would say like this: "Master"

The old man stopped him and said, "I think this person is a bit slippery, and he can't be associated." ”

Lu Gang didn't understand.

Seeing that Lu Gang was still in the dark, he said again: "When your brothers were toasting each other, I saw the Ma gang leader spit the wine on the ground, thinking that I didn't see it, and I pretended not to see it, I looked awkward in my heart, looking at the head of a gang leader, he would do such a thing, at that time, I didn't expose him to give him some face, I just saw it in my eyes and kept it in my heart, how can I drink wine with such a virtue." ”

"Master, maybe he won't be able to drink much." Lu Gang said with a smile.

"You can't drink much, and you can't spit out the wine in your mouth, right? There must be a rule for drinking, no matter how much it is. The wine is full of sincerity, and if you are not sincere, you will drink it if you serve it, and you will do it when you clink glasses. I think the horse gang leader is not sincere, and a person who runs the rivers and lakes doesn't know such rules. I don't think he's sincere. Lu Gang, you have to be careful about this kind of person in the future, don't let him be deceived. The old man took a sip of water and shook his head and said, looking a little disdainful.

"Is there really such a thing? Who is this gang leader? Lu Gang listened to Master's words and nodded, and began to be interested in the Ma Gang Master.

The old man looked at Lu Gang, thought about it and said: "As far as I know, he is really inscrutable, and I don't have much to do with him, but I still know a little about how he started his home in his territory, and I still know a little about the old man who made his wife angry." ”

"Master, tell me about it."

"The previous helper was not him, he was a god of wealth, a kind-hearted person, doing business in other places, and after making money, he would come back to distribute some food and cloth to the people in the village every time there was a big festival, and in 38 years, Wuhan fell, becoming the world of the Japanese, he came back, idle and nothing, he took a fancy to that piece of reeds, and wanted to use it. He consulted the villagers, but only the gang leader and some people did not agree, but he did it anyway. The old man stopped talking and took a sip of water.

Lu Gang said: "What does he want these reeds for? There are a lot of places in our hometown. ”

"I still don't know what he wants the reed to do, and I haven't asked about these things, and it's not easy to ask if it's not a village." The old man said.

"And then?" Lu Gang asked again.

"Later? Later, he spent his own money to make some guns, organized some people, and didn't know what to do in that reed every day? However, the people in the village have become more and more fond of him, and there are chickens, meat and fish during the New Year's holidays, and life is very prosperous. ”

"That's good, but why did you change to a horse gang leader?" Lu Gang was puzzled.

"It's been two years later, one day, the God of Wealth disappeared inexplicably, replaced by the horse gang leader, there is a lot of article here, I don't know where the God of Wealth went, I haven't seen him until now, ask some people and say they don't know, the disappearance of the God of Wealth has become a mystery."

"Then how could his wife be? I should be happy that I have become a helper. Lu Gang didn't understand.

"I don't know, I heard that I was angry with the master of the horse gang, and I didn't say what the reason was, and I didn't bother to ask about it, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, not to mention that I am an old man who lives in the mountains and forests. The ears are quiet, and you don't hear anything outside the window. The old man smiled.

"Then does his fat man know that his mother was angry with his father?" Lu Gang asked unwillingly.

"He's still young, how do you know? Lu Gang, I told you this today, you just take it to heart, you have to be careful about the person who is the leader of the Tsushima Gang, be careful of being harmed by him, and I don't know what's going on, do you hear? The old man told Lu Gang.

Lu Gang nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, I'll pay attention." ”

At this time, Geng Zitang, Monkey, and Lu Wei came out, and they came to Lu Gang's side.

The old man smiled and said to Geng Zitang: "Battalion Commander Geng, you only took out the bullet when you were injured in the leg, why don't you use that crutch for you?" Tianhao, go, bring it to Camp Commander Geng to support. "Tianhao went.

The monkey said to Lu Gang: "Master, I have spent so much time in the mountains, you can see that my head is good, there is only one scar, and it is fine." Master, look, isn't it?"

Lu Gang smiled and said, "Do you want to go down the mountain?" ”

When the monkey heard this, he jumped up happily and said, "Master, what a lovely Master, you can see my thoughts." That's great. ”

"What's good? Brother Geng's injury is not good, how can he get down the mountain, you can carry him, you can carry him? Lu Wei's words extinguished the monkey's joy.

Battalion Commander Geng looked at the monkey and was unhappy, looked at Lu Wei and said to Lu Gang with a smile: "Lu Gang, I think so, you can take the monkey down the mountain for a turn, oh, by the way, and your sister will go with you, I will chat with the old gentleman here, drink tea, and greet Xiaolin by the way." Xiao Lin drank the old man's hangover medicine and was still asleep, so let him sleep for a while. ”

"I'm not going, I want to" Lu Wei wanted to say that he wanted to stay by Geng Zitang's side, but after thinking about it, he changed his words and said: "I also want to stay and take care of Brother Xiaolin." ”

Camp Commander Geng said: "Lu Wei, you go, go down the mountain with your brother and have a good time, oh, by the way, if Ruan Xiong still has pumpkins there, you can bring some back, I like to eat this pumpkin pie." ”

When Lu Wei heard this, he was happy and said, "Brother Geng, I'll go." ”

The monkey listened and said with a smile: "Lu Wei, you don't want to go, you have to go when you hear that Camp Commander Geng wants to eat pumpkin pie, what do you mean?" ”

Lu Wei grimaced at the monkey and said, "Listen to me." Then he turned around and went into the house.

The old man looked at the back of Lu Wei leaving, and let out a kind smile, he said, "Camp Commander Geng, it's okay, you can also go down the mountain in two days." ”

Battalion Commander Geng was naturally happy and in a happy mood when he heard this.

Lu Gang glanced at the old man and said to Geng Zitang: "Battalion Commander Geng, this is fine, let's go down the mountain, and by the way, bring some guns and ammunition that were left at Ruan Xiong's house and bring them up the mountain." Master, is it okay? ”

The old man smiled and said: "It's okay, go down the mountain to relax, go to the river to blow the wind, do what you like, just don't delay too long, before the sun sets in the river, remember to come back." Tianhao, you go with them. Of course, Tianhao was happy and hurriedly agreed.

After going down the mountain, they first went to Ruan Xiong's house to watch, there was not much change, but there was no one for a few days, and there were more rats here.

After finding those grenades and a few guns from the firewood room, the monkey put it at the door, he didn't want to carry it to the river, Lu Wei was looking for the pumpkin, but she didn't find it, she shouted to the monkey to help her find it, and the monkey didn't look for it, so he took her directly to the vegetable garden, and there were exactly two pumpkins exposed in the field, Lu Wei was delighted, and asked the monkey to pick the two pumpkins and put them in the house. When the monkey saw Lu Wei like this, he naturally made fun of her again, and naturally he was chased and beaten by Lu Wei until he reached the riverside.

At this time, Lu Gang and the others were already standing on the edge of the river, and the white horse in the West Island was gone, and they were taken back by Takeshita.

The smoke of gunpowder on the riverside has long dissipated, and there are still a few bamboos on the shore.

Lu Gang looked at the river and didn't speak, raised his head and looked in the direction of the county seat on the other side and let out a long breath.

"Master, what do you remember?" The monkey listened to Lu Gang sigh.

"I wondered why there were devils sneaking up the river that night. I don't know if it was the reinforcements sent by Nishijima or if he arranged it intentionally. I don't know how many of them are left? Whether it entered the city or left again, it is unknown. Lu Gang said.

"Go into the city, Master, do you want it?" The monkey said happily to Lu Gang.

"Brother Geng is not well yet, so let's go to Mozi City, and wait for him to get better before going?" Lu Wei objected.

"That's what I thought, I've been on this mountain for a long time, and I've been raising as much flesh as I can, so how can I get it like this. Lu Wei, you and Camp Commander Geng are staying with my master on this mountain. I, the monkeys, and Kobayashi went to the city to take a look at the situation and come back to make plans. Lu Gang agreed with the monkey.

Tianhao heard this and shouted, "Brother Pole, I'm going too." ”

"What are you going to do fighting devils again? You may not go to the city to find a girl, you are not allowed to go. The monkey pulled him away and said. Tianhao didn't want to pester Lu Gang to go, but Lu Gang couldn't say, "Don't worry, I haven't discussed it with Camp Commander Geng yet." ”

"Hey, hey, which, brother, someone is stealing our guns, monkey, look." When Lu Wei, who was on the side, inadvertently turned his head to look at Ruan Xiong's house, he saw a person holding a gun at the door.

When Lu Gang saw it, he quickly drew his pistol, told the monkey and Lu Wei to lie down quickly, and then shouted: "Who, don't move." ”

Maybe it was because the distance was too far, the man didn't seem to hear it, and took all the guns to the house, looking at the man's ragged appearance, Lu Gang thought he was a beggar? With a wave of his hand, he quietly led them to the front of the house.

Quietly entering the house, they saw the man crouching by the bed with his back to the door, not knowing what he was looking for.

The monkey shouted, "Who? Hands up. ”
