It is a small spun-shaped basin with a gentle central terrain and surrounded by green hills.

A deep stream, like a long snake, enters the basin from the southwest, passes through it, and separates the lush trees in the middle of the basin, dividing it into two uneven parts.

Its eastern part is larger and wider, while its western part is slightly smaller and elongated.

As the twilight grew thicker, the basin became more and more noisy, and the basin was full of figures of people and horses and mules, which were the eighteenth platoons and horse gangs that did not know each other and were camping.

At sunset, after Xie Yucheng matched, Li Dongjia and Leper Tiger had a good conversation, and in the end, they found out that both parties were from the Guanlong Li family, which was the so-called flesh and blood with the same surname, and the next thing quickly changed dramatically.

Brothers of the same clan, naturally have to arrange the tooth order, the leprosy tiger is four years old Li Dongjia, is a tiger brother; Li Dongjia's original name was Li Muying, and he was naturally the eagle brother.

In order to express the meaning of festivity, Brother Tiger exempted the toll of Wulong Gorge-Penzhu Brain by 200 yuan (reduced to 800 yuan), and only left a load of salt and a load of cloth. Brother Tiger apologized again and again, saying that the cottage was frequently attacked and suppressed by the Jingwei Regiment, and it was not long before the housewarming was moved, and the waste was waiting for the new, and the finances were particularly difficult.

As a token of apology, Brother Tiger gave him a delicate little pistol and a bells and whistles dagger - a Malay knife that was later identified by the veteran as a sharpened iron and clay, and was later regarded as a family heirloom by someone after many twists and turns. Of course, this is a later story, and I will not say it here.

Brother Eagle expressed his understanding and support for Brother Tiger's initiative, and in order to express his respect for Brother Tiger, he took the initiative to give him a pen that he had carried with him for N years, intending to persuade Brother Tiger not to forget to learn knowledge and culture.

Warm-hearted gestures from the Tiger Brothers:

1. Took the initiative to collect the three mules and horses that were killed in the firefight, and after dissecting them, they sent one of them to the camping kitchen of the horse gang;

2. Take the initiative to repair and widen the wooden bridge connecting the east and west banks of the basin to facilitate the passage of mules and horses;

3. Took the initiative to take care of the caravan's salary supply tonight and tomorrow morning;

Fourth, the bell must also be untied: take the initiative to tie the downed horse bell back to its original place;

5. Take the initiative to send a sentinel from the cottage side, responsible for reporting the road conditions within 20 miles from the east, west and north directions of the Penzhu Brain - Tanghu Wei tomorrow (to be implemented);

A warm gesture on the part of Brother Eagle:

1. Took the initiative to provide rice grain, dried vegetables and meat for two meals tonight and tomorrow morning, and directly supplied Tiger Brother Fang Shitan Shochu;

2. Took the initiative to treat the injured cottage heroes;

3. Took the initiative to bury the dead in the evening firefight and give them bereavement benefits;

Fourth, they took the initiative to donate some medicines and gave necessary and appropriate guidance to the medical officers of the cottage;

5. At the invitation of the request, it was proposed that military and political personnel would be dispatched at a certain time in the near future to sort out and improve the current military and political situation of the cottage (to be implemented).

Finally, the Tiger Brothers and Eagle Brothers announced in public that the Anti-Luo Strategic Alliance was officially established. The two sides share including but not limited to intelligence, military, ordnance, strategic and tactical skills and technology...... and many other aspects of information and even resources, each has the obligation and right to deeply intervene in each other's defense.

In the words of later commentators, it was this joint declaration that laid the foundation for the Tiger Eagle Column, which would dominate several provinces and terrify the Japanese many years later. Of course, this is also a later story, and it will not be listed here.

...... The west bank of the basin is a campsite for caravans. Eighteen rows of big bosses and leprosy tigers led their men and horses to garrison the east bank. After some fuss, now the two families have settled down separately.

According to the practice of the caravan, the caravan's open-air kitchen should be built in the middle of the camp, but when several horsemen were about to dig the stove, they were strongly obstructed by the foreign student surnamed Xie.

In view of the extremely amazing performance of this foreign student in the afternoon, the matter was quickly reported to Li Muying, the big proprietor of the horse gang.

Li Muying was patrolling with the leopard, familiar with the terrain, and after listening to the report, he quickly stepped back.

From a distance, I saw a few people surrounded by the center of the camp, a dozen or so horsemen and seven or eight young men under Li Muying, who were holding hoes and pickaxes, sweating like rain, digging hard.

The eventful young man in a long shirt paced back and forth beside him.

It was a handsome, tall young man, dressed in a kaftan that fit quite well.

Now, as if he had understood, his words had no effect on the people who worked, so he could only paced back and forth in silence, and could not help but look at his watch again and again, looking very anxious.

In the morning, Li Muying noticed the watch of this foreign student, it is not easy to have a pocket watch in these years, let alone a watch? It can be seen from this that this student baby has a great background. Thinking of this, Li Muying's heart became more and more strange at this time.

In the afternoon, this young man named Xie Yucheng surprised Li Muying very much. Not only because of his clear mind and strong decisiveness, but because when he looked at Li Muying, he used a look of admiration and reverence. Some are like Li Muying's previous teaching students, his student dolls. Those students, when they are tirelessly studying, always look at their teachers like this.

But in the eyes of the young man in front of him, Li Muying also read a kind of compassion and understanding.

This made Li Muying especially surprised.

It is strange that a young man, when he meets for the first time, should look at him with an insightful and understanding look.

Now, Li Muying can also see deep worry from the young man's anxious steps.

Judging by the performance, this is a bold and careful young man. Although he didn't know where he came from, and he didn't understand why he was obstructing the excavation of the stove now, Li Muying intuitively concluded that this little Xie classmate must have a deep meaning.

Thinking of this, Li Muying quickened her pace.

At this time, a few horsemen digging stoves caught a glimpse of Li Muying who was hurrying back, so they threw their hoes and greeted them angrily, and said angrily after a few steps:

"Dadongjia, this student baby is too ignorant, he said, said that this stove can't be installed in this place, saying that the stove god is in the east, and it should be dug on the edge of the stream."

"Where is the god of the stove, in the east?" Li Muying was stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't believe her ears, and muttered to ask.

"yes, he, that's what he said. You say it'......," said another horseman.

The horseman was probably very angry with this young man, and when he saw Li Muying's reaction at this time, he immediately put on an old-fashioned look on his weather-beaten old face, and said contemptuously:

"Oh Li Dongjia, if you want me to say, he travels with him, he is a guest, and he didn't expect him to work. But the baby who doesn't have any hair on his mouth is also pulling this in front of our old rivers and lakes...... You say, "Isn't this a deliberate attempt to cause trouble?" ”

"Good, good. I see. Li Muying smiled and raised her hand to make a reassuring gesture, "Everyone has worked hard." I'll start by asking about the situation. ”
