On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve of the sixth year of Kant in Manchukuo, Xiaobao first lit a cannon in the courtyard before returning to Second Master Qi to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

This is the only cannon battle in Huolonggou Village. Other families either don't have the money to buy it or are reluctant to buy it.

Feng Zhi found that Liu Wancai had changed a lot since Lin Keling's family had eaten the pig killing feast.

First, it becomes mysterious. Often as soon as the day is wiped by the black, the shadow disappears. He only came back when it was dark. Feng Zhi asked Liu Wancai what he was doing, and Liu Wancai didn't spit out.

Besides, it is to become diligent and fast. Liu Wancai went up the mountain for two days in a row and cut down more than a dozen pine trees. He went to beg Yang Fulu, who knew how to work as a carpenter in the village, and used more than half of the wood as wages to let Yang Fulu make a large climbing plow.

The climbing plough was made big and sturdy.

Liu Wancai fixed the hemp rope to the climbing plow and tried to pull it around himself. The plough runs fast and light. Liu Wancai scratched his ears happily.

Whoever had something going on in the village soon knew about it. Liu Wancai's matter naturally can't escape Xiaobao's eyes. Xiaobao secretly laughed that this stupid eggplant was finally set.

Now that the year has passed, the matter of the big cabinet has come to Xiaobao's mind again.

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiaobao said to Qi Erye: "Second master, I want to go to Pingyang Town." ”

"Go ahead, don't be in a hurry. Let's take our time to figure things out. If you can do things, don't be strong if you can't do them. Slowly, there is always a way to solve it. Second Master Qi thought for a while and said, "Prepare well today, and leave tomorrow." ”

Xiaobao went out to the west and came to the gate of Liu Wancai's house. Through the courtyard gate, I saw Feng Zhi chopping firewood in the courtyard.

"Fengzhi, are the four pairs of shoes ready?" Xiaobao asked through the fence.

"There's still a pair left, and the leather sole is not on." Feng Zhi wiped the sweat from his face and said.

"Then give me the three pairs first, and I'll wear them when I go out tomorrow." Xiaobao said.

"You're going out tomorrow? Where to? Feng Zhi asked curiously.

"Well, go to a relative's house in Yabuli. Go and pay a New Year's greeting. "Xiaobao told a little lie.

"I thought you were going east, just so please go to the two-person class to see my parents." Feng Zhi said disappointedly. After speaking, he turned around and entered the house, and after a while, he came out with three pairs of shoes.

Xiaobao took the shoes through the fence, "I can't prepare for it, I have to go to the east, and then I will go to the two-person class to see our father and mother." Xiaobao turned around and left.

Feng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his face was flushed.

When Xiaobao returned home, he saw Qi Erye holding a one-foot-long bamboo tube, so he stepped forward curiously.

Qi Erye held the bamboo tube with both hands, and as soon as he pulled out his right hand, a dagger-like thing was held in his hand.

Xiaobao took it and looked at it carefully, "Isn't this the bayonet of Lao Maozi's water rifle?" ”

"Bring it tomorrow, sometimes it's more than a pistol barrel. Don't always think about using a gun. No matter how powerful a character is banging every day, he can't live for a few days. Second Master Qi said.

"Second master, I have four guns now, two at home, and two are enough." Xiaobao said.

"The gun should be steady, not fast. You think you're holding a machine gun? Just take two chicken legs and leave the little thing at home first. Second Master Qi advised.

Xiaobao took out the snake card and handed it to Second Master Qi, "I originally wanted to give this gun to you, and I left it for your old self-defense." Well, there's only three bullets in there. ”

Second Master Qi swept the pistol with his hand, and said with emotion, "I haven't used this thing for many years, and my hands are a little raw." ”

"How are you going to get there tomorrow?" Second Master Qi asked.

"I've made it all figured out, go to the carriage shop in Hailin and ask if there is a carriage to Mudanjiang, and spend some money for them to take me to Mudanjiang. From Mudanjiang, I will find a carriage and go to Jining. When we arrived in Jining, it was not far from Pingyang Town. Xiaobao replied.

"You can bring my old sheepskin jacket, you can cover it and wear it." Qi Erye knocked the cigarette pouch pot in his hand, and said, "There is nothing wrong with being careful in everything, if you can't do it, you should walk around." ”

The next morning, Xiaobao dressed up neatly and hid the two guns under his armpits, greeted Second Master Qi, and walked out of the house wearing an old sheepskin jacket.

The weather is already showing signs of warming, and the snow has a hard shell on the surface but is soft underneath.

Xiaobao thought that this time he went to Pingyang Town to pay off the debts owed to the big cabinet and Liu Dascar. But it's a matter of mind.

Although Xiaobao is not very old, he is used to seeing life and death, and thousands of bearded people lie on the ground without a name or surname, and no one will remember you.

Xiaobao stepped on the official road from the path of Huolonggou Village. To the east is Hailin, to the west is the direction of Yabuli, and to the northwest is Hengdao Hezi.

Xiaobao walked towards Hailin. The Northeast is a big country, and people who break into the eastern part of the country are used to it, and it is nothing to stretch out their legs and walk forty or fifty miles.

Suddenly, Xiaobao heard the sound of a horse bell behind him. When he turned back, he saw a string of three-trailer carriages coming with him.

"Big brother, will you go to Hailin? If you go to Hailin, you will take a ride with your brothers. Xiaobao said.

The owner of the first carriage was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a rough black and red face under a dogskin hat. Apparently a person who has been out and about all year round.

At this time, the car boss was also looking at Xiaobao. He hasn't grown up yet, and he's still a half-grown child.

"Come on, there's not a few steps to Hailin." The car owner said.

Xiaobao jumped into the carriage with both hands and a carriage. There were a few bulging sacks on the carriage, and Xiaobao pinched them with his hands, which were rolled and ready to feed the horses.

Xiaobao sat on the sack.

"Big brothers, don't leave tonight. Lamb soup flatbread – I please! Xiaobao shouted.

"Oh, I'm not old, but I'm very open." The middle-aged man and the owner of the two trailers in the back laughed.

"Big brother's surname? Where are you going? Xiaobao asked.

"Don't be surnamed Jiang, stop on Hailin Street tonight. Tomorrow I will go to Mudanjiang to pull white noodles for the old Maozi of Hengdao Hezi. The middle-aged man said.

"Oh, it just so happens that I'm also going to Mudanjiang. Brother Jiang, how about I give you ten yuan to take me for a ride tomorrow? Xiaobao said with a smile.

"Okay, stay in a big car shop tonight, and let's go together tomorrow morning." Brother Jiang happily agreed.

"Brother Jiang, are there a lot of old hairs in Hengdao Hezi?" Xiaobao has nothing to say.

"Why don't you go too much, you haven't passed through it. I remember that when Russia was making a revolution, a large number of old Maozi ran to our northeast, and they couldn't go back when Russia became the Soviet Union. Hengdao Hezi was originally built by Lao Maozi when he was building the railway, and the old noses of the spired houses are rows and rows. Lao Maozi loves bread, and I have been pulling flour for them for several years. "Brother Jiang is very talkative and speaks fluently.

"Brothers, hurry up! Just now, the little brother said that when he arrived at Hailin, he invited us to dinner. After eating, I invite everyone to watch the play - two people turn! Brother Jiang shouted loudly.
