In all dynasties, in troubled times, it is always the ordinary people who suffer the most.

The day after the "scattered meal", the 33rd Division was all withdrawn from Haizhou; On the second day of the second day, the Japanese occupied the mast of Sunjia Mountain and Yuntai Mountain; A few days after the second day of the second day, Xiangshui, Yishan, Banpu, Xinpu, Xugou and other places all fell, and the day before the Lantern Festival, the entire territory of Haizhou was occupied by the Japanese......

On that day, the Japanese entered the city from the Qiyang Gate in Haizhou, and rows of lanterns were hung on the head of the city, which were originally prepared for the Lantern Festival. A handful of Japanese soldiers even climbed the city tower, raised the guns in their hands, and shouted "Long live, long live...... the ancient city wall, the cry deeply stung the ancient city wall, and as soon as the cold wind blew, the copper bell on the eaves of the city tower made a "jingling" wailing sound.

On both sides of the road, there were many people waving sun flags, holding banners of "*****", shouting slogans to welcome the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese into the city, however, most of these people were forced by the traitors and two dogs with guns.

As soon as they entered the city, this group of Japanese carried out a frenzied plundering of Haizhou City, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, but everything that could be taken away was not left, and what could be left was only a fire they set out.

In the Lianyungang and Xugou areas, except for the plundering after entering the city and the destruction caused by the war before the fall, the Japanese did not seem to burn another fire, is this their mercy? No, it was because the Lianyun port and the Haizhou-Xuzhou railway were very important for the Japanese to plunder and transport resources, so instead of destroying them, they had to repair and rebuild the port and the railway.

As a result, many Haizhou people were forcibly conscripted by the Japanese and lived a life of slavery like pigs and dogs.

For the sake of safety, Zhu Guanglian sent his female dependents and children back to his hometown in the countryside early to take refuge temporarily, except for Mama Hu, who was cooking, there were only a group of men left in the yard. On this day, Zhu Guanglian and Shen Congwang and Shi Zhu were discussing the future development of the business house, and several puppet soldiers touched their house in Xiyuan, and the leader was called He Wenkui, with a traitor's head, combed shiny, with a pistol pinned to his waist, and he looked arrogant.

When the man saw Zhu Guanglian, he said: "Boss Zhu, in order to show the 'Chinese and Japanese family', the imperial army specially invites several large local transportation companies in Haizhou to gather at the 'Yuntai Restaurant' tomorrow night, don't be late!" ”

Zhu Guanglian didn't squeak after hearing this, but Shen Congwei stepped forward and said: "This master, it stands to reason that the imperial army is affectionate, and we will definitely go, but I'm very sorry, our boss Shen has occasionally felt cold these days, and I am afraid that the disease will infect the imperial army, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go tomorrow night!" ”

After listening, He Wenkui slapped the table and said, "Don't be ignorant!" I've already brought my words, and if I don't go, I'm afraid that I can't help you! ”

After that, a few puppet soldiers got up and left, and before leaving, they didn't forget to take a few valuable gadgets with them. Shi Zhu's fists were clenched tightly, if it weren't for Shen Congwei's drag, I'm afraid that a few puppet soldiers would have to go to see Yuan Shikai in minutes.

After the puppet army left, Shi Zhu said: "My uncle, this is obviously the 'Hongmen Banquet', the Japanese must not be well-intentioned, maybe they will play some tricks!" I look at this meal, don't eat it! ”

"The person who came is not good, I didn't know that this meal could not be eaten, but looking at the posture of the Japanese, I am afraid that it will not work if we don't go!" Zhu Guanglian thought for a moment and said, "In this way, I will take Huaiqing over tomorrow night to see what the situation is and then make plans." The devil is a weasel to give New Year's greetings to chickens, but forgive them for not doing anything at the dinner table! ”

"Uncle, why don't you take me there? If there's something going on, I'll be able to say hello to you for a while! Shi Zhu disagreed.

Shen Congyan laughed beside him and said, "Zhuzi, your skills are indeed good, but with your temper, your brother-in-law is afraid that you will not be able to help but do it with the Japanese when the time comes, and it will be really troublesome." You'd better stay home with me! ”

Shi Zhu didn't say anything more, and continued to discuss the matter of the firm with Zhu Guanglian and Shen Conglian.

The next night, Zhu Guanglian took his nephew Zhu Huaiqing to the "Yuntai Restaurant", and the one who drove the carriage was still Lao Zhangtou. Although Shi Zhu promised Zhu Guanglian to stay in the trading house, he was worried that something would happen, so he followed the carriage silently. It is not yet the first month, and a gust of northwest wind is blowing, making people shiver.

There are several puppet soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the restaurant, which makes the people who are used to watching the national army stand guard feel that the atmosphere is very weird.

After a while, the bosses of the main transportation houses in Haizhou also arrived one after another, such as Boss Qian of "Tianxing Transportation Bank", Boss Zhang of "Yungang Trade Bank", Boss Ma of "Xingyuan Commercial Bank" and so on. Everyone was drinking tea while muttering quietly, for fear that the loud noise would tear over the roof of the restaurant.

After a while, a black car stopped in front of the restaurant, followed by a small team of two devils and a few Japanese soldiers, surrounding the restaurant. The leading Japanese officer went upstairs with a few personal soldiers, followed by He Wenkui, nodding all the way.

At this time, except for the sound of a few people going upstairs, the entire restaurant instantly became silent.

As soon as the Japanese officer came up, he raised his wine glass and said something he couldn't understand, while the interpreter next to him said in a non-standard Chinese: "This is our captain Gangqi Xiuzhong, he is now in charge of Lianyun's public security, railway and port transportation, and construction, and everyone here is a well-known transportation company in Haizhou, and I hope you will help you to serve the Japanese Empire and contribute to the construction of the ***** circle!"

With that, Gang Qi Xiu Zhong drank a glass of wine.

All the bosses were submissive, nodding their heads and responding: "Certainly, definitely!" Only Zhu Guanglian smashed the wine glass in his hand on the table and scolded loudly: "If you want me to wish someone to die for the Japanese, don't think about it!" ”

Seeing this, Gang Qi Xiuzhong didn't say anything at first, but just asked He Wenkui next to him a few words, and then said to Zhu Guanglian: "Presumably this is the boss Zhu of 'Guanglian Commercial Bank'!" I heard that you have transported a lot of supplies for the Chinese garrison in Haizhou before, so you are naturally powerful. Now that all the bosses are going to work for the Japanese Empire, you can't be less! ”

Then, with a wave of his left hand, several Japanese soldiers willingly escorted Zhu Huaiqing to him. "He's a guy coming with you, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, Gang Qi Xiuzhong had already taken out his pistol, and after the bullet was loaded, it pointed directly at Zhu Huaiqing's head.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Zhu Huaiqing's forehead, but he still forced his composure on the surface, so as not to be looked down upon by the Japanese. However, Zhu Huaiqing was frightened, the Japanese did not blink an eye when they killed, he was worried about the safety of his nephew, so he stood up and asked Gangqi: "What do you want to do?" Let go of my nephew, what's coming at me! ”

"Don't worry, I wish the boss, you are my invited guest tonight, and you won't kill him!" With that, Gangqi Xiuzhong lowered the muzzle of the gun, and with a bang, shot straight at Zhu Huaiqing's calf. Zhu Huaiqing screamed in pain, sat down heavily on the ground, and leaned on the wooden pillar.

The bosses present were so frightened by the scene in front of them that they didn't dare to make a sound. Only Zhu Guanglian hurriedly ran forward and helped his nephew up and sat on the chair.

At this time, the boss of "Tianxing Transportation" came to Zhu Guanglian and said: "Boss Zhu, we do business, as long as we have money to make, what do we do for whom?" It's not all the same! If you want to open it up a little, why bother making things like this? ”

At this time, the old Zhang Tou who was waiting outside the Yuntai Restaurant and the stone pillar hiding on the side were nervous, they all heard it clearly, and as soon as the gunshot rang out, they knew that something had happened to their own family, so they all ran upstairs together, and several puppet soldiers at the door did not stop them. When they got upstairs, the two hurriedly helped Zhu Huaiqing for Zhu Guanglian.

Shi Zhu saw that the blood on Zhu Huaiqing's calf was dripping from the wound, and the floor was dyed red, and he was immediately furious, intending to step forward with his bare hands to teach those Japanese a lesson, and he didn't care that they had guns in their hands. Fortunately, Lao Zhang's eyes were sharp, and he grabbed the stone pillar and shook his head lightly at the stone pillar, otherwise the consequences would definitely be unimaginable.

After pulling the stone pillar, Lao Zhangtou said to Zhu Guanglian: "The owner, the heroes don't suffer the losses in front of them, why bother to compete with the Japanese here!" Now it's time to save people! ”

Zhu Guanglian thought about it, then looked at his pale nephew, and said to Gangqi: "It's okay if you want me to help you transport things, but there is one condition, you can't interfere with my work, who to use and how to move, we have to decide ourselves!" ”

Gang Qi Xiu Zhong paused for a moment and said, "Yes! But I wish the boss if he wants to cheat and play tricks when the time comes, don't blame me for being polite! After that, Gangqi Xiuzhong said to the bosses present in blunt Chinese: "I still have some things to leave, please take care of yourself!" ”

"Boss, hurry up and take your nephew to see the doctor!" After the Japanese and the puppet army left, Boss Qian said to Zhu Guanglian, "These dogs, one day we Chinese will destroy them!" Bah! You say, who wants to give them their lives? But these days, it's all about saving your life! ”

Subsequently, Zhu Guanglian hurriedly dragged Zhu Huaiqing to Zhao's Medical Center, and Zhu Huaiqing almost fainted on the way.

As for the restaurant, Boss Qian said that since everyone came, it would be a waste not to eat a table of dishes, so he beckoned everyone to eat before leaving. Of course, the wine is not drunk, and everyone knows that tonight's meal, the food can be eaten, and the wine is categorically undrinkable.

When he arrived at the hospital, Dr. Zhao was busy for a while, and finally took out the bullet, and the bleeding stopped.

"Doctor Zhao, how is my nephew's injury?"

"I wish boss, the bullet has been taken out, there is no injury, don't worry, there is no danger to life. However, the bullet hit the bone, and the location is a little special, but I am afraid that I will fall into a little disabled ...... in the future."

Hearing what Dr. Zhao said, Zhu Guanglian was happy, worried and blamed himself: the good thing is that his nephew is fine, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, but the worry is that Zhu Huaiqing's legs may be inconvenient in the future. After all, this incident is all caused by himself, although his nephew was injured by the Japanese, he does have a responsibility that he cannot shirk, and it is needless to say that he blames himself.

Thinking of this, Zhu Guanglian said to Dr. Zhao again: "Dr. Zhao, you are the most famous doctor in the Xugou area, please help me to heal my nephew's leg injury!" Medical expenses are not a problem! ”

"Yes, my old cousin usually runs fast, if his leg is a little disabled, I'm afraid it will be a fatal blow to him!" Shi Zhu also said on the side.

This Dr. Zhao is indeed not an ordinary market doctor, his medical skills are surprisingly good, and he has a very good personal relationship with Zhu Guanglian. He said to Zhu Guanglian: "Boss Zhu, I will definitely do my best to have a friendship between you and me over the years, but this is no longer a matter of money." In this way, I tried to give him the ancestral home remedies 'Bone Cream' externally, and the 'Nine Flavors Continuation Pill' internally, and lay in bed for a month, maybe he can get better! ”

"Then thank you Brother Zhao!" Zhu Guang hurriedly thanked Dr. Zhao.

A few days later, Dr. Zhao saw that Zhu Huaiqing's injury had improved significantly and his complexion had improved a lot, so he said to Zhu Guanglian: "Boss Zhu, I see that your nephew is recovering well, and he can go home tomorrow to recuperate, no longer have to live in the hospital, just follow what I said to recuperate!" ”

The next day, Zhu Guanglian asked Shi Zhu and Lao Zhangtou to take Zhu Huaiqing back and temporarily settle in the mansion in the West Garden.

That night, Zhu Guanglian asked Shizhu to call Shen Congwang and said: "Daddy, I plan to send Huaiqing to the countryside to recuperate, although the conditions over there are not as good as here, but my eldest brother and sister-in-law are at home, and Yueyun and Chuntao are also in their hometown, so it is much more convenient to take care of Huaiqing than we here." I don't know how many days I have to stay when I go back to Zhuzhuang this time, and the affairs of the business bank will be more troubled by Daddy Lao! ”

"Eldest niece and son-in-law, don't worry, the business bank is mainly starting to build up the collapsed wall for the time being, just leave it to me. Come back when you've put things done at home......"

Zhu Guanglian said to Shizhu again: "Zhuzi, you have also seen that the Japanese are not a good thing, and if you do things for the Japanese, you will inevitably end up being scolded as a 'traitor'." There's no way for me as a boss to get out, but you're different, you're still young, and you can't do things for the Japanese in my trading house. This time, you have to go back with me, whether it is studying or farming, anyway, you can't stay in the trading house anymore. I have some friendship with Master Wang of Banpu Vinegar Factory, I'll see if I can get you a good errand on his side! ”

"Uncle, in fact, I don't want to do things for the Japanese in the trading house, but I was afraid that you would say that I would pick a child, so I didn't say it. Now it's okay, it's time to go back first. Where to go in the future, I will discuss with my grandmother first, I want to do something first! Seeing that Zhu Guanglian was unwilling to let himself do things for the Japanese, Shi Zhu seemed to be a little happy in his heart.

"Good! Without further ado, I'll send Huaiqing to Zhuzhuang tomorrow morning......"

Early the next morning, Zhu Guanglian was ready to leave, and after carrying Zhu Huaiqing into the carriage, the group set off. There were inevitably some bumps on the road, and Zhu Guanglian specially instructed Lao Zhangtou to drive the carriage slower, and asked Shizhu to put a few more quilts for Zhu Huaiqing.

The weather was not bad on this day, but the sun came out for a while, and then hid in the clouds, giving people a sense of cloudiness and uncertainty. When I arrived in Zhuzhuang, it was already afternoon, and this time it took nearly twice as long to come from the ruins and ditches as usual, and I was tired enough to choke on whether I was in a car or in a car. The most uncomfortable thing is, of course, Zhu Huaiqing, after this bump, the legs seem to be even more uncomfortable.

After finally settling Zhu Huaiqing well, Zhu Guanglian blamed himself in front of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, old mother, his own woman and everyone else: "Alas! It's all my fault, if I hadn't taken Huaiqing to the restaurant that night, I would have gone alone, and this incident would not have happened. Although I hired the best doctor in Xugou, I was still worried that Huaiqing's foot would be a little disabled...... Huaiqing's daughter-in-law hasn't married yet, if I can't marry my daughter-in-law because of this matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to live peacefully in my life..... Alas~~~"

When Zhu Guanglian sighed, Shi Zhu said: "Uncle, how can I blame you for this, it was all done by extinct Japanese devils!" ”

"Yes, his master, you can't be blamed for this, maybe it's my family's Huaiqing life!" Zhu Guanglian's eldest brother Zhu Guanglian was also comforting his younger brother on the side. Zhu Guanglian's sister-in-law Zhu Hou sat on one side and choked up, but fortunately her mother-in-law and concubine comforted her.

After this, the crowd dispersed. Zhu Hou went to the room and looked at his son's leg wrapped in gauze, and his heart became even more sad.

At night, Shen Yueyun asked Chunhua to sleep with the child, and called Chun Tao to the hall. I saw Zhu Guanglian and Shen Yueyun sitting on both sides of the big table in the hall, the atmosphere looked very serious, and Chun Tao seemed to be able to guess one, two, three.

Shen Yueyun saw Chun Tao enter the hall, so she said, "Chun Tao, you sit down first, the master has something to say to you......

"Let's talk about it!" Zhu Guanglian said to Shen Yueyun.

"Okay!" Shen Yueyun continued, "Chun Tao, what do you say the master and I do to you on weekdays? ”

"The lord and wife are as kind to me as a mountain, like a reborn parent......"

"Yes, although we bought you back then, but on weekdays, my lord and I don't call you as a human being, and we all treat you as our own children...... Now there's one thing, I beg you with my lord, but it's really a little unspeakable......"

"Mrs. wants to marry me to Zhu Huaiqing?!" Chun Tao saw that Shen Yueyun was talking hesitantly, not like usual, and thought of what Zhu Guanglian said during the day, so she was even more sure of her conjecture at this time.

"I'll just say, Chun Tao, this girl is smart!" At this time, Zhu Guang connected the conversation, "Chun Tao, since you have guessed it, then I will say it directly." You have been in our house for many years, and we have always treated you as our own family, originally I discussed with Yueyun that you have a good relationship with Zhuzi and Huaiqing, and I want you to choose who to marry. But now, my lord, I ...... After this incident, I really don't want to go, I can only wronged you, and I plan to marry you to Huaiqing......"

After saying that, the whole room fell silent instantly, and the air seemed to become extremely solemn, only the wind outside the room was still whining. "Master, Mrs., it's all up to you, I'm willing to ......" After a moment of silence, Chun Tao answered without hesitation, but grabbed the corners of her clothes tightly with her two hands.

For Chun Tao, the Zhu family did not treat her as a subordinate, and they were already very lucky. She herself also had a slight impression of Zhu Huaiqing, but in comparison, she preferred the stone pillar in her heart. But Chun Tao also knew in her heart that although the lord and the lady still spoke to themselves in a consultative tone, in this situation, they had actually made a decision, and they just hoped that they could agree in person.

Chun Tao also knows that the Zhu family is not thin on herself, but she is the maid of the Zhu family after all, this time Zhu Guanglian did not promise herself to someone she doesn't like, she can give it to Zhu Huaiqing, she is already very satisfied, after all, she still has a good impression of Zhu Huaiqing. Now Zhu Guanglian feels very guilty about Zhu Huaiqing's injury, and what he is most worried about is Zhu Huaiqing's future marriage.

Hearing Chun Tao say this, Zhu Guanglian and Shen Yueyun suddenly felt overjoyed in their hearts, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chun Tao, we are naturally happy to have your words. But you don't have to say yes so quickly, you can think about it again. After all, the Zhu family didn't treat Chun Tao as an outsider, although Chun Tao agreed, Shen Yueyun continued, "You must understand the current situation: Dr. Zhao, the most famous doctor in Xugou, said that Huaiqing may be disabled." If not, everyone will be happy, and if it falls, you will suffer for the rest of your life! ”

"Madam, Chun Tao has figured it out! Master and you are my reborn parents, marriage matters, parents are in charge, besides, I originally had a good impression of Zhu Huaiqing, no matter what, I am willing, this matter does not need to be considered......"

Zhu Guanglian said happily at this time: "Okay, good!" That's the best! We'll tell my big brother and sister-in-law about this happy event tomorrow morning! ”

Early the next morning, Zhu Guanglian and his wife took Chun Tao to the eldest brother Zhu Guanglian's house and told his brother and sister-in-law the news. Zhu Guangyi and his wife were very happy, and agreed to this family affair on the spot.

"Since the two adults have agreed, let's quickly tell Huaiqing the news!" Zhu Guanglian said to his eldest brother Zhu Guanglian.

"His master, I think it's better for the concubine to take Chun Tao to talk about this, after all, the woman's family is better than us!"

"It's still the eldest brother who is thoughtful, you see that I'm so happy that I forget about this stubble!"

The three of Zhu Hou went to the back room and told Zhu Huaiqing about the marriage. Everyone thought that Zhu Huaiqing would be full of promises, but who expected Zhu Huaiqing to say: "You all go, I don't agree!" ”

Zhu Hou was anxious and said, "Why don't you know what to do!" People are handsome, and they are also virtuous, so if you are like this, it's not too much! ”

"I don't want you to have pity on me! ......”

At this time, Chun Tao came up to him, choked up and said to Zhu Huaiqing: "Why do you pity you?" I really want to marry you! Do you think I'm a maid's life, and I'm not worthy of you? ”

"Chun Tao, don't cry, what do I mean! You see my legs are like this, if you fall disabled, you will suffer for the rest of your life if you follow me! I really don't want to drag you down! ......”

"I'm not afraid, even if I suffer for a lifetime, I'm willing!"

Hearing Chun Tao say this, Zhu Huaiqing didn't continue to speak, just dropped his head into the bed and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, everyone also counted in their hearts. Shen Yueyun said to Zhu Hou: "His aunt, since Huaiqing also agreed, then this matter is settled!" Go back, when Huaiqing's leg is better, let's choose a good day and handle this marriage! ”

The next day, Zhu Guanglian sent someone to see Zhu Huaiqing and Chun Tao's birthdays, and the result was flat, but counting the "female junior holding gold bricks", this is also a good marriage. More than a month later, Zhu Huaiqing's leg injury was finally healed. Doctor Zhao really has some ability, although Zhu Huaiqing's left leg has not fully recovered as before, but he usually walks without any abnormality, but it will be a little difficult to run, presumably with more training, he will recover better.

Seeing that Zhu Huaiqing's leg injury was almost healed, Zhu Huaiqing's family chose March 16 to hold the wedding.

On the day of the wedding, there were a lot of guests. This Zhu Zhuang people are already close to the family, once they encounter red and white ceremonies, most of the people in the village will come to the ceremony, plus Zhu Guanglian has some property in his hands, and the people who usually don't come and go are also congratulatory with a flattering heart.

There will be no shortage of procedures such as crossing the brazier, throwing copper coins, worshipping the church, and saying goodbye, and Zhu Guanglian also married Chun Tao as his own daughter, and prepared a lot of dowry, and dressed Chun Tao beautifully. It was only after all the etiquette was over that family and friends took their seats.

During the banquet, Zhu Guanglian said to the stone pillar who came to drink the wine: "Pillar, I have said it over there in Banpu Vinegar Factory, I will take you to visit Master Wang in the next few days and help you arrange something to do!" Shi Zhu did not immediately agree to Zhu Guanglian, but said: "My uncle, I know that you are for my good, but I want to do something first, and when the matter is done, I will go to Banpu with you ......."

Hearing this, Zhu Guanglian remembered that when he discussed taking Zhu Huaiqing back to his hometown to recuperate that night, Shi Zhu seemed to have said such things to himself, but he was patronizing his nephew's injury at that time, and he didn't want to do anything about his nephew. Hearing Shi Zhu say this again today, Zhu Guanglian immediately understood.

So, Zhu Guanglian only said a simple sentence to the stone pillar: "Pillar, then you have to be more careful!" ”

After the banquet, Shi Zhu did not stay with the relatives of the Zhu family and waited until the evening to go to the cave room, but went to his uncle's side to sit for a while, and then went home directly.

Shi Yushi was at the sole of Luo's shoes with Luo's second grandmother at this time, and Shi Zhu happened to take some of the candy he got from the wedding at noon to Luo's second grandmother. While eating the candy, Luo Erma said to the stone pillar: "Pillar, this candy is so sweet!" When will I be able to eat your candy? ”

"Second Grandmother Luo, don't make fun of me! I'm still early......"

After a burst of laughter, Luo's second grandmother saw that it was not early, so she also went home.

In the evening, Shi Yu said to Shi Zhu: "Zhuzi, although your second grandmother Luo told you a joke in the afternoon, you should indeed go to the bottom of Mangdang Mountain to see your daughter-in-law." It's been twelve years in a flash, and I don't know how the Ji family is now! ”

"My grandmother, you can rest assured, I will naturally go when the time comes. But I still want to avenge my father first, if I don't kill Liu Fulong, I don't plan to marry a daughter-in-law! ”

"Pillar, you're going to me off to death! If you marry a daughter-in-law, can't you still take revenge! ”

"My grandmother, don't persuade me. It's useless for you to say anything this time, I have already heard that Liu Fulong is in the Northeast, and I plan to go to the Northeast in a few days and give this matter to me, otherwise I will not be at ease in my heart for anything! ”

"No, you are not allowed to go! It's too dangerous for you to go to the Northeast alone to find Liu Fulong to take revenge! Revenge will be discussed later! ”

......

After so many times, Shizhu and his grandmother did not give in, and their opinions became more and more different, so that for the first time in their lives, the two had each other's sulked with each other, and they fell asleep in depression.

In the next few days, Shi Zhu deliberately stayed silent at home all day long, ignoring his grandmother, so that Shi Yu's family couldn't drum. On this day, she was reading a book on the stone pillar, and she said, "Pillar, your wings are stiff, and you don't even listen to me!" I'm too old to care about how many years you have. If you insist on going to the Northeast, then wait until your father's anniversary, burn some paper money for him, and then wait until the wheat is harvested, and then go......"

"Great! I knew that my grandmother loved me the most! Hearing Shi Yu's words, Shi Zhu jumped up with joy.

This year, within a few days after the Dragon Boat Festival, the wheat was basically harvested, and Shi Yushi prepared Shizhu to go to the Northeast. At this time, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and you only need to bring a few single clothes, which saves a lot of trouble. During the cleaning period, Shi Yu suddenly looked out of the door first, and then closed the courtyard door, and Shi Zhu didn't know why, but he felt a little chattering.

When he arrived at the back room, Shi Yu took out a small ochre jar from under the bed, and after removing the lid of the altar, he took out a stack of objects wrapped tightly in gauze. After opening it, the stone pillar stepped forward to take a look, and only then did he recognize it, and it turned out that what was contained in it was actually the skin of the black python that was cut in Mangdang Mountain.

When the old stone asked for this python skin, there must be a reason, but ordinary people don't know it.

Shi Zhu was also puzzled, and asked casually: "My grandmother, what are you doing with this python skin?" ”

"Pillar, you don't know, everything has spirituality, although this black python is a poison, but it also has some Taoism. Its skin is a good thing, used to wrap things, water does not seep, fire does not move, with it, ordinary mosquitoes, snakes and ants, and even jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains dare not approach. I'll use it to sew a small satchel for you to carry, it will be more convenient to go to the Northeast. ”

Shi Yushi continued to tell Shi Zhu: "Zhu, you can't talk about this matter to others, let alone show it in front of others, otherwise it will definitely cause a disaster!" ”

Shi Zhu didn't believe in such an evil thing at first, but it wasn't until Shi Yu proved it with water and fire that he believed that there was such a treasure in the world.

This time he went to the Northeast, in addition to inquiring about Liu Fulong's news and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, Shi Zhu also had another thing in mind, that is, to bring Dai Dayan and Zhang Gou's remaining relics to their hometown in Longjiabao, Tieling. Shi Zhu looked at the few relics in his hand, and felt sad again, before wrapping them and putting them in the python skin satchel.

After everything was ready to stop, Shizhu said goodbye to his grandmother and set out on the road to the northeast alone.
