After settling the chestnut group and those soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the house where they were entertaining, the night was getting thicker, but the old lady Jiang, who had been busy all day in fright, did not feel sleepy at all, just stood outside the door of the living room, leaning on a deer's head cane, and looked at the outline of Tieping Mountain at night in a daze.

From ancient times to the present, there are also historical records that the Yuejia army 'starved to death and did not plunder, and froze to death without demolishing the house', but what I really saw in front of me was all a family of soldiers and bandits, who were forcibly abducted and robbed, and were insatiable.

Unexpectedly, Li Ziqun and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army under him really chose a spacious guest room in their own yard, and more than a dozen men tore off the simple bedding they carried and squeezed into a pile, and even ate the wild vegetables and dried food they carried with them?

Not only that, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were sent out outside their house with two sentry posts just disappeared in the dark for a moment, just by virtue of this skill, even if they don't know soldiers, they can see that these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are experienced soldiers who are accustomed to battle!

Listening to the faint snoring sound coming from the guest room, Mrs. Jiang pondered for a moment, raised her hand and whispered to the butler who was standing not far away: "Legs and feet are sharper, go and invite a few old people in the clan to the ancestral hall to discuss matters, and I will come later!" ”

With a low promise, the housekeeper just turned around to leave, but turned his head to the side of Mrs. Jiang, raised his hand and pointed to the biased room where there was still an oil lamp on: "Master, then Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangcui are still eating and drinking in the side room, this night is quieter, and it is not appropriate to keep a person with a foreign surname in our yard......."

With a slight sigh, Mrs. Jiang walked towards the courtyard gate: "Today they can be regarded as fighting with their lives, and they escaped with their lives under the gun...... It's just a trivial matter of eating and drinking, and let them be! ”

Lying on the edge of the window, Sha Bangcui, who had already eaten a ditch, watched the old lady Jiang and the housekeeper slowly walk out of the courtyard gate, and then turned his head and shouted to Mo Tianliu, who was leaning on the kang head to eat and drink slowly: "Tianliu, I really told you to say it, the old lady and the housekeeper went out......."

Reaching out and picking up a pickle strip mixed with sesame oil from the plate and throwing it into his mouth, Mo Tianliu slowly chewed the crispy pickle strip while responding casually: "I just pondered that today's matter is not something that can be passed by money and food, and it is not good to make trouble...... Tomorrow we have to follow these characters who reported the Eighth Route Army! ”

Growing his mouth in surprise, Sha Bangcui climbed from the window to Mo Tianliu's side: "Tianliu, what do you mean?" ”

"I don't know what to do? Those who reported the Eighth Route Army didn't want money and food, in order to save Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, they also lost their own people, whether it was according to people's feelings and emotional intelligence, or on the rules of the rivers and lakes, we had to make up for the soldiers in Dawu Village, right? ”

"Then how do you know that the two of us are going to follow the others?"

"I eat a hundred family meals, born to feed the master, you have a small yard, one person eats enough for the whole family is not hungry, this Dawu village is counted again, so can there be a more suitable one than the two of us?"

Lowering his head in disdain, Sha Bangcui squirmed his thick lips, and hesitated for a long time before he muttered: "Tianliu, if you really can't dodge...... If I go with them tomorrow, you won't be able to do it, will you? ”

Qi squinted his eyes and glanced at Sha Bangcui, who was squatting on the kang, Mo Tianliu snorted coldly with disdain: "Hmph...... Do you really think of yourself as a character? Why can you just go and do something? ”

Twisting his neck like a bull, Sha Bangcui snorted in a muffled voice: "Blame me for this...... If I hadn't rushed over to pull the double pillars of my second aunt's house, I was afraid that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army wouldn't be able to eat guns....... God, we can't have a bad conscience! They lost their lives because they blocked the gun for me, let's ...... I...... Gotta pay it back! ”

Picking up a peanut shell on the kang table, Mo Tianliu unceremoniously smashed the peanut shell on Sha Bangcui's head: "I'll just say you're a mallet!" If you eat a bowl of flat food, you will play with your life, and now you still want to fill in your own life! I said you don't think about it either? With your stupid appearance, the master with a tendon from head to asshole, how many days can you live with a gun and food? If I hadn't followed you, I'm afraid that in less than ten days, your corpse would have to be gnawed by wolves and dogs! ”

Stuffy and let Mo Tianliu nag for a long time, Sha Bangcui didn't refute, only until Mo Tianliu was too addicted, Sha Bangcui looked up at Mo Tianliu and replied humbly: "Tianliu, I know that your brain is active, and you have learned a lot of skills quietly in those Han families in Dawu Village over the years...... I rely on you to take care of the other things and listen to your dispatch, but this is a desperate job...... I can't pit you! ”

"Who are you when you are? If you don't say it's a pit, you won't be a pit?! Let me tell you clearly, maybe Mrs. Jiang has already opened the Jiang clan ancestral hall to find someone! Wait and see, before dawn, Mrs. Jiang will have to come to our house to find our emotional intelligence! I said mallet, don't say a word when the time comes, just listen to me! ”

"Okay! Can...... Tianliu, what can you and Mrs. Jiang say about this? ”

“....... Stick, sometimes I really want to know if your brain is a brain or a bud mush?! Let me ask you, do you pay the work for others? ”

"See what you do...... It's all from the villagers, and they can't be paid for trivial things, just take care of a meal! ”

"I'll you....... I can't mess with you! Go to bed! ”

Seeing Mo Tianliu lying down angrily and closing his eyes, Sha Bangcui was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and sat restless on the spacious kang mat, but he didn't dare to disturb Mo Tianliu, who was obviously not asleep.

opened his eyes a slit, Mo Tianliu stared at Sha Bangcui's anxious and embarrassed appearance for a long time, and finally sighed deeply, and sat up cross-legged again: "Bang mallet, let me ask you, your Sha family has been a tenant farmer in this Dawu Village for two lifetimes, your mother went early, and your father closed his eyes on the day, and he was still holding the crockpot in his hand that saved his belongings, you really don't know what your father thinks?" ”

Silently lowering his head, Sha Bangcui suddenly withered like a frosted eggplant: "I know...... Ever since my grandfather was in his life, he wanted to have a piece of land of his own! You don't need good water to water the land, you can have a piece of mountain land to grow budding rice and sorghum! But my grandfather and my father and mother have saved money for two lifetimes, but it's not enough......"

With both hands on his thighs, Mo Tianliu whispered in a very hands-on manner: "It's still it!" What happened to the two of us right now, that is, Wang Ba had to roll on the threshold and get in and out! If you can't hide left and right, why don't you take advantage of this matter and get some benefits from Old Lady Jiang? ”

Staring at Mo Tianliu in a daze, Sha Bangcui didn't seem to understand what Mo Tianliu said at all, and the old man shouted as if he had suddenly come back to his senses: "Tianliu, you mean...... Let's look for the old lady Jiang and ask for a piece of land?! ”

Nodding solemnly, Mo Tianliu turned his head to look at the dark courtyard outside the window, and carefully lowered his voice: "Not only do you want a piece of land, but you also have to water the ground with good water that is closer to your home and can be watered first on dry days!" I haven't heard the old generation say that the Zhuang family lives a life, and the ugly wife is close to the family, and the family treasure is peaceful, and he has nothing to do until he is old? ! ”

"That'...... Can Mrs. Jiang agree? Besides, if we really go to carry guns and eat food, we don't know when we will be able to go home, and no matter how good the land in this family is, won't it all be abandoned and wasted? ”

"Hi...... The cottages and locks around Dawu Village, who have you seen over the years who can survive three years without falling the flagpole? Today he beats you, tomorrow you kill him, the minions in the village kill the master, the master has saved enough money to wash his hands, and those minions who have not caught anything are all scattered in a hurry? Look at these characters who reported the Eighth Route Army, even if they could fight and kill, there were only a dozen people and seven or eight guns! Saying that they can hold up the flagpole for three years, I am all calculating towards Kuanli! At that time, as long as their flagpole falls, we will go back to the village to farm, no better than working all day long and chopping firewood? ! ”

Looking at Sha Bangcui's humble appearance who was stunned by what he said, Mo Tianliu stretched out his leg and kicked Sha Bangcui's sturdy leg with some pride: "Speaking of Old Lady Jiang, don't you know that in his life, just to keep the Jiang family ancestral hall in Dawu Village, this bit of belongings, this little bit of people?" As long as you can coax away these Eighth Route Army who have contributed to Dawu Village and sold their lives, and say that it is a piece of land that has been watered, that is, if you ask him to give you money and grain from the Jiang family ancestral hall to build three big tile houses and a flat of wheat field, he can also nod immediately! ”

"I don't need three big tile houses, I'm just one person, plus you are just two, and if I want three big tile houses, it's also empty and wasted, and the wheat field the size of a square meter...... Where can I get so much food alone......"

Blocked by Sha Bangcui's simple words one after another, Mo Tianliu couldn't help jumping up from the kang, slapping his head at Sha Bangcui, who was still ignorant, and whispered: "I'll give you a mallet....... I'm going to beat you up for a long time...... Don't hide, if you tell me to beat me, I might be able to understand something......."

Just like when they frolicked with each other in childhood, Sha Bangcui shrank up familiarly, squatted on the kang with his head in his hands, and shouted in a muffled voice: "God leave you light...... Didn't I have your idea...... I'm wondering what I'm doing so much......"

In the middle of the fight, a heavy cough suddenly came from outside the side room. Only then did he hear the sound of coughing, Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangcui were all busy and stopped fighting, Mo Tianliu sat cross-legged on the kang head at the same time, and the piggyback also pulled Sha Bangcui, who was about to jump off the kang and put on shoes, and stared at Sha Bangcui to sit down according to his appearance.

As the door of the side room was pushed open by the housekeeper, Mrs. Jiang slowly walked into the house with a deer-headed cane, and was just about to speak to the two people in the house, Mo Tianliu had already shouted to Mrs. Jiang first: "Taigong, you don't have to bother to say anything more - three big tile houses, a flat wheat field, and a piece of water by the edge of the village to water the ground, the mallet and I will take this desperate work for Dawu Village!" ”
