The two casually talked a few more words, and Yue Siliang decided to get to the point. It is not a coincidence that he came over today, but he has something to say to Hu Tiezui.

"I heard from Hamming, you agreed to join our team?"

Yue Siliang turned his head to look at Hu Tiezui's eyes, and the old man's eyes were extremely clear at the moment, and he did not avoid Yue Siliang's gaze. His expression was calm and not flustered, but his beard of different lengths made him look embarrassed. That beard was too uncomfortable when he quit smoking, and he pulled his beard by himself.

Hu Tiezui looked very bachelor at this time, tucked the cotton robe on his body in the middle, and said with a smile.

"My Grand Master Yue, what else can I do if I don't join the team?"

When he said this, Hu Tiezui's face was full of helplessness. He has been traveling south and north for so many years, he is not an ignorant person, he has been playing in the 424 regiment for so long, in fact, he is just delaying time. The army pays attention to secrecy, he has already stepped into the barracks of the 424th regiment, and knows a lot of secrets, if he does not join the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, there will definitely be no way to go out alive with secrets.

Of course, in the 424th regiment, there was a surprise that he never expected was that he actually succeeded in quitting opium, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.

Hearing Hu Tiezui say this, Yue Siliang shook his head.

"Our Eighth Route Army is a reasonable team, not the king of the mountain on Liangshan. We can't cut off people's back roads in order to let people fall into the grass, you are not Qin Ming, and I am not Song Jiang. ”

Yue Siliang casually said an allusion to the Water Margin, and Hu Tiezui was stunned when he heard Yue Siliang say this. Then he shook his head silently, and after a long time he spoke again.

"Commander Yue, in fact, I can't understand why you have to pull me into this unit. I'm such an old body, I can't pick up the strength on my shoulders, I can't carry it, and I can't go to the battlefield to charge into battle, how do you want me to make a revolution with you? ! ”

Yue Siliang was amused by Hu Tiezui, and shook his finger and said.

"When did I tell you to come and charge? You are a Jianghu person, and I used to be a Jianghu person. Let's not talk darkly. Those who go to the rivers and lakes have their own set of rules when they are inquiring about news, and they are stationed in and out. Many things that are not clear to officials are clear to the people of the rivers and lakes, and many people who are soldiers do not know the way, and the people of the rivers and lakes know.

Which book to read and which to read, this Hebei matter, there are some things that you know more than us and the Japanese do. We, the 424th Regiment, really need your help. ”

Yue Siliang's words were very sincere, but Hu Tiezui frowned, and his mouth was bitter.

"It's now that I understand, after a long time, you're trying to make my old bones a spy for you. I can't do this, besides, I'm such a lonely old man, even if I break my leg, it's useless. ”

Hu Tiezui hurriedly flashed back, he can't do this kind of headless thing, you must know that the confrontation between the two armies is actually easy to say, the most hateful thing is that the spy is meticulous, now Yue Siliang actually wants him to do this, how can he do it?

"Hey, who said that you should go down and run by yourself, you can still run a few places every day at such an old age. Besides, the lone Jianghu people have no ability, only the group is powerful, as long as you let out the wind at that time, raise your arms and shout, don't talk about others, how many of your disciples and grandchildren can come over. ”

"Nope! No! I'm a lonely old man! ”

Hu Tiezui's reaction suddenly became stronger, even greater than the reaction just now. At this time, anyone can see that he has unspeakable secrets. However, what he didn't expect was that in the next second, Yue Siliang pierced his heart.

"Old man Hu, Hu Qingsong! Don't pretend, I've guessed it. ”

“！！！”

After Yue Siliang spit out this name, Hu Tiezui was like being struck by lightning at that time. His whole body trembled, and he almost shook himself, but fortunately it was Yue Siliang who reached out and grabbed him.

"You...... How do you know. ”

Hu Tiezui's lips trembled, the name Hu Qingsong had not been called for more than ten years, and now it was broken by Yue Siliang, how could he not be shocked.

"Sir, you are wrong, you have to be self-conscious when you record Han Ming's identity and name. Hu Wanchun is your name, right? Hu Wanchun...... The whole world really runs the rivers and lakes, except for Hu Qingsong at the beginning, I can't think of anyone else who dares to call it that. ”

Hearing Yue Siliang say this, Hu Qingsong's face instantly turned into a burst of defeat.

"So that's the case, I thought that sir, you were just a few words from our Jianghu people, and then followed the 'empty' that was ridiculous and flaunted, but now it seems that I really underestimated you."

Yue Siliang smiled lightly and said to Hu Qingsong without hesitation.

"I was born in Baoding and lived a prosperous life for two years when I was a teenager. At that time, I still loved to go to the opera garden every once in a while to play the roles, and it can be said that there was nothing I didn't listen to. At that time, I could say that I was a serious ticket holder.

In 1925, when the May Day Massacre broke out, I took my classmates from Baoding No. 1 Middle School to engage in sports together, and was wanted by the Beiyang government at that time. At the age of fifteen, I was wanted by the Beiyang government, and fled all the way south with a pistol. In the meantime, in order to survive, I have forgotten to kill a few people and worship a few masters.

It was at that time that I realized that there were so many doorways in the rivers and lakes. ”

Hu Qingsong looked at the other party in a daze, he never thought that the other party's officer, who was not half his age, would experience things in this young half of his life that were not inferior to himself.

For ordinary people and soldiers, the name Hu Qingsong may be just an ordinary name. But among the people who run the rivers and lakes, the name has an extraordinary meaning.

In the rivers and lakes north of the Yellow River, these rivers and lakes can be roughly divided into eight trades: gold, skin, color, hanging, evaluation, group, tune, and willow. In layman's terms, it is: fortune tellers, wild medicine sellers, jugglers, martial arts sellers, storytellers, cross talkers, liars, and drum singers.

Although these eight doors are different, the rules of the rivers and lakes used are the same, and the "spring points" used are also the same. And these people who go to the rivers and lakes, in order to help each other in the rivers and lakes, have clear rules of the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes of the North Road will choose a highly respected figure to be the "spring chief" among these trades.

And Hu Qingsong used to be the "spring chief" recognized by everyone in the rivers and lakes, Hu Qingsong was born as a storytelling artist, and he belonged to the "Qing" generation of teachers. I think that back then, when Hu Qingsong performed on a famous place, the audience's response was so hot that it did not lose the so-called "King of Clean Street", as long as Hu Qingsong opened the book, it can be said that it was really an empty alley.

It is precisely because of his artistic attainments and convincing standards of conduct that he has become the "spring chief" who is widely admired. However, this "spring chief" is good everywhere, and the only cover door on his body is too good face. He has no loss in personal morality, but he has such an apprentice who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles. The story is very vulgar, and his apprentice is jealous in the brothel and fights with the pseudo-police. In the end, it is needless to say that being caught in the patrol room was a good beating, and he was beaten to death.

Hu Qingsong, who was making money outside for a relationship, was unable to swallow this evil breath after only bringing back the dead body of his apprentice. He is naturally an artist who can't fight the pseudo-police, and he just wants to vent this evil breath. In the open and pseudo-police. I talked about swearing for three days in a row.

Such a big horn, the kung fu of scolding reached the peak, and finally scolded the pseudo-policeman alive, making it difficult for this old man for a while, and also let many other Jianghu people eat and hang. For a time, the entire Sijiu City didn't even dare to go to the street, and those who dared to go to the street were all arrested and put into the bureau.

The reason why "Chunchang" exists is to shelter all the people in the rivers and lakes, and everyone can make money together. However, in order to get angry, Hu Qingsong pulled down all his colleagues in the water! Happened to such an incident, Hu Qingsong naturally had no face to be this spring chief again, and in the end, this arrogant old man actually went to the patrol room to kowtow and admit his mistake in an extremely humiliating manner, which can be regarded as a complete confession, and left Sijiu City sadly.

Hu Qingsong, who left Sijiu City, vowed never to tell a story again, and never to call Hu Qingsong again. But if he doesn't tell a story, he also has to eat. Many of the eight branches of the rivers and lakes are connected, and in the end, he had no choice but to pick up the ability of the gold bank and became a fortune teller who measured words face-to-face. The name was also changed from Hu Qingsong to Hu Wanchun.

He has two meanings for this name, one is also to commemorate his former self, and the other is to show his attitude that he admits defeat but does not admit defeat! He couldn't afford to provoke, but he could hide. However, the lost man is also the lost man after all, and he is homeless and homeless in the far away rivers and lakes, and finally he is infected with opium smoke.

These things can be said to be tacit things on the rivers and lakes, but here in ordinary people, they don't care. Once a great gentleman wrote a good book, and they listened to it, and suddenly one day the gentleman disappeared, and everyone might feel a few words, but it didn't take long for them to turn to other gentlemen. Man is always forgetful.

If it weren't for Yue Siliang's special experience, it would have made this old gentleman with a legendary experience miss out on him.

Hu Qingsong, who was called out by his real name, immediately sat there as if he had been pulled out of his bones, looking at Yue Siliang helplessly.

"Now that you know about it, I don't have anything to say. For a lonely old man like me, who is in ruin and in his last years, you can do whatever you want, anyway, I am such an old bone now. ”

Yue Siliang shook his head again when he saw Hu Qingsong like this.

"You still don't understand, I don't want to do anything to you, and I don't need to do anything to you. As I just said, you are a Jianghu person, and I used to be a Jianghu person, which is why I know the suffering of Jianghu people.

But have you ever thought about it, sir? Why are the people of the rivers and lakes so bitter? Why can anyone bully the Jianghu people? Why is there a spring length? Isn't it just to keep warm? Let everyone live a good life? ”

"This ......"

Hu Qingsong was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer Yue Siliang's question.

"The apprentice was beaten to death, and he couldn't even get angry. What kind of world is this? Can the poor survive in such a world? Farmers, workers, craftsmen, folk artists...... These are the most disadvantaged groups of people who are exploited and oppressed. We are uniting to fight, don't you have any ideas, old man?! ”

"Don't talk about it......"

Hu Qingsong's white head couldn't be lowered, and every time Yue Siliang said a word, he said "don't say it".

"If all the people in the rivers and lakes are like this with their heads down and don't listen, then you won't be the last Chunchang to be so!"

"Say no more!"

Yue Siliang's last words struck in his heart, which made Hu Qingsong feel excited, and his old voice was broken. At this time, I saw that in the middle of the wax moon sky, Hu Qingsong was also sweating with a hot face, and looked straight at Yue Siliang.

"Tell me, what the hell are you going to do?"
