Chapter 54: Night Talk
Sun Yumin asked Deng Dongping: "Have you seen that everyone has arrived?" Seeing that he nodded after observing for a while, he continued: "Tie Guts, you take them back to see if you can find a clinic, pay more, and let me help treat the injuries of the three of them." ”
Xiao Yuying saw that this bear was spitting and spitting, and stopped talking, knowing what he wanted to say, she took out two oceans from her body, thinking about it, it didn't seem to be enough, and said to Lu Man beside her: "Sister, have you brought any money?" I'll go back and pay you back. In order to borrow money, she changed her title, and directly called Sister Lu Man, omitting the word Lu.
Lu Man naturally didn't care about these things outside his body, so he immediately opened his wallet and gave all the fiat money inside to the little girl.
Since the fat prison director muttered to the little girl, his face was full of fat sometimes red and sometimes white, and he was worried about how to meet the requirements of this little ancestor.
The jeep that Xiao Yuying was in earlier let Lin Yuanping drive, carrying the three wounded and Li Tiedan to the clinic, while the soldiers of the other guard companies returned to the station in a truck.
After arranging all this, Sun Yumin took Lu Man and Xiao Yuying to the Chen Mansion in the car waiting for them.
Lu Man was in a good mood in the car, talking and laughing with the little girl, and occasionally whispering, and then the two of them got into a mess in the back seat of the car.
Sun Yumin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was preoccupied, and he didn't know what kind of occasion and problems he would face later.
Although Lu Man was playing with the little girl, her eyes glanced at Sun Yumin from time to time, seeing that he was still the same deep appearance as before, and did not show the slightest reluctance, her heart began to become beautiful, and suddenly a thought overflowed from her heart: Is this an ugly son-in-law meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law?
Thinking of this, Lu Man's face suddenly became hot, and he didn't even hear or see what Xiao Yuying said and did on the side.
The car drove for a while, and then came to a house in a circle. After getting out of the car, Sun Yumin and Xiao Yuying didn't believe that this big man of the Republic of China, who was afraid of Dai Li, actually lived in such an ordinary small courtyard, Lu Man said to the two people in shock: "My father has always been thrifty, and this courtyard is arranged by the eldest brother, otherwise I will have to live with him in the suite of the camp." ”
Her words made the image of Chen Bui suddenly rise up in the hearts of Sun Yumin and Xiao Yuying, sometimes a person's character can be seen from a person's behavior, clothing, food, housing and transportation, Lu Man is like this, and Chen Bui is also like this.
Sun Yumin does not reject Chen Bui's arrogance in his heart, a person's status is so high, it will naturally make him proud, so even if he has a feeling of being superior, Sun Yumin does not have the same disgust for him as he does for other big officials.
Walking into the living room, looking at the furnishings in front of him and around him, Sun Yumin became more and more fond of Chen Bui. In the middle of the living room, there is a large portrait of Jiang Guangtou's military uniform, and on the opposite wall there is a wall clock, and there are several bamboo chairs on the left, perhaps because of winter, the bamboo chair is padded with cotton cushions, surrounded by a coffee table that has looked very old but does not lose its style, and there is a double-layer cabinet of about two meters against the wall on the right hand, which is the same as the material of the coffee table, and it also looks very simple. The slightly humble but exquisite reception room shows the difference of the host.
Sun Yumin was a little restrained, fidgeting on the bamboo chair, unlike Xiao Yuying, touching here and there, and following Lu Man to make tea and pour water, like half a master, busy before and after.
Chen Bui actually heard the sound of the three people coming back a long time ago, but he had been observing the three of them at the door of the study, seeing Sun Yumin's restraint and restlessness, and also seeing the liveliness of the little girl, and even more seeing the brilliance in his daughter's eyes.
Sun Yumin watched Chen Bui, who was wearing a coat and pajamas, walk in, and he quickly got up and saluted.
Chen Bui glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and seeing that the hour hand was already pointing to three o'clock, he asked, "Are you sleepy?" Do you want to go to rest first? ”
Sun Yumin shook his head and said, "I slept in prison for a day today, and now I am still in good spirits, but you are so busy during the day, and because I haven't rested yet, I really can't help it." ”
Chen Bui waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down before he spoke: "I'm older, and I'm feeling less." But you ......," he stopped the two girls who were making tea, and said, "Come on, come on, you two sit down too." ”
Lu Man handed a cup of tea to Sun Yumin, he hurriedly brought the tea to Chen Bui's side, but saw that Xiao Yuying had already delivered the tea to Chen Bui, and called sweetly: "Uncle, please drink tea." ”
Chen Bui didn't mind that his daughter handed the first cup of tea to Sun Yumin, but looked at Xiao Yuying, who was pretending to be very well-behaved, with a smile, and said, "Little girl, are you his own sister?" ”
Xiao Yuying shook her head and was about to say no, but suddenly nodded firmly and said, "Uncle, yes, I am his own sister." Then the mischievous Chong Lu Man grimaced.
"What a good girl!" Chen Bui muttered to himself. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked Sun Yumin, "When did you join the army?" ”
Sun Yumin replied truthfully: "In February of the 18th year of the Republic of China, he first served in the Northwest Army. In the 24th year, when the teaching corps was expanded, it was transferred from the Northwest Army. ”
"Oh, an eight-year veteran." Chen Bui calculated for a moment and asked again, "How old are you this year?" Who else is in the house? ”
"It's twenty-five this year, and there is no one at home for a long time, and there are few relatives who don't have much contact."
"What about your parents?" Chen Bui continued to ask, suddenly feeling that the question was inappropriate, and continued: "If you don't want to say it, it's okay. ”
"There's nothing I want to say or don't want to say, my father died of illness when I was young, and my mother raised me to grow up, and when I was sixteen years old, she also died in the chaos." When Sun Yumin said these words, he was very indifferent, as if he was talking about someone else's business.
Lu Man and Xiao Yuying were both a little sad when they heard this, and when they saw Sun Yumin who was like no one else, they couldn't understand what the situation was, and they looked at each other and sighed.
"So after your mother died, you joined the army?" Chen Bui asked, he didn't care about his daughter and Xiao Yuying's reaction.
"No, I went to a business in Hengyang as a partner, and followed the head of the firm to go from south to north. This boss is very experienced and very experienced, and I have learned a lot from him. It is precisely because of his strength that the business of the firm is thriving. If it weren't for that, I might have taken over his class and become a good leader. Sun Yumin recalled his youthful days, with a smile on his face, as if it was a beauty that he couldn't forget.
Lu Man and Xiao Yuying, the two girls, looked like fan girls, sitting quietly on bamboo chairs and listening to him tell stories about him that they didn't know.
Chen Bui didn't ask him again, waiting for him to continue.
"In the second year of my buddy, that old man saw that I was clever and learned things quickly, and he had the intention to train me to be his successor, so he taught me all the skills of my body, and he taught me my marksmanship at that time." Sun Yumin saw that Chen Bui had questions, and he explained: "In the years of war and chaos, people who often go out will have some weapons to defend themselves, let alone an old leader like him. ”
A figure like Chen Bui, who lives in a high temple, naturally does not understand the hardships of life on the tip of these knives, but seeing that what Sun Yumin said is very emotional and serious, he also knows that what he said is true.
"The old man has never married in his life, so naturally he has no descendants, he takes care of me as a son, and I also treat him as my only relative, and he is very well served in all aspects."
"Just before the Dragon Boat Festival when I was seventeen years old, the owner asked him to take us to Changde to buy some Dingcheng tea oil, sauce plate duck and other specialties back, these things are deeply liked by some dignitaries in Hengyang City, very easy to sell, so we have to go several times a year." Speaking of this, Sun Yumin's face began to become gloomy.
"Changde is not far from Hengyang, there is no province, the road conditions are not bad, the big guys are thinking that this is a beautiful difference, scrambling to go, seeing this situation, the owner simply let the old boss bring more money and people, as a result, this time the horse team is more than double as usual."
"I still vividly remember the night before I left the house, the old boss said to me: 'Little one, I always feel a little uneasy on this trip, so you can stay at home honestly, don't go, and have a good rest.' I was too young to think much about it when I heard this, so I didn't go out this time. Sun Yumin stopped talking, sighed, and said to Chen Bui, who was listening to him: "If it was me now, then I would definitely not let the old boss go out." ”
Chen Bui realized that Sun Yumin said that this old boss would die on this trip, and he could understand the thoughts in his heart, so he explained: "Everyone has a destiny, even if you can stop it twice in one trip, three times or four times? So don't blame yourself, maybe the old man is doing well in heaven right now! ”
The two girls heard it in a fog, Lu Man didn't understand why his father said that the old man was dead, and just wanted to say a few words to him, but he heard Sun Yumin start his narration again.
"After half a month, the old man has not returned, and the owner began to be anxious, and sent two groups of people to ride fast horses to meet in the direction of Changde."
"Two days later, the caravan finally returned, bringing back the corpses of the old man and sixteen men, and the goods and money were intact, but the seventeen men had given their lives on this journey that I don't know how many times they had traveled."
"Looking at the dense bullet holes on the old leader's body, I was heartbroken, regretting why I didn't follow along, if I was there, or the old boss wouldn't have given up his life."
When Sun Yumin said this, flames appeared in his eyes, and bursts of murderous aura rose on his body, although he was just recalling the past, but the kind of momentum he exuded still made Chen Bui feel it deeply.
"From the mouths of the men who survived, I learned that on their way back, they were looted by the local militia in Loudi, and the old boss with sixteen men died there in order to protect these things and cover the evacuation of the horse team."
"The proprietor is still a kind and righteous person, after burying them, each family lost thirty oceans, I took the money, bought twenty rings from a clean garrison who lost in the casino, and went to Twin Peaks alone."
Chen Bui didn't have this kind of experience, and he didn't understand why he wanted to seek revenge, in his world, the best way to solve this kind of thing was to go to the military government to sue them, but when he thought about it, in that era of warlord melee, it was indeed difficult to find a place to reason. From Sun Yumin's words and actions, he gradually saw some of his shining points.
"In Shuangfeng County, I stayed for nearly two months, to track and find the traces of the enemy, and all the money on my body was spent, so that I finally got the opportunity to take revenge."
"That night, while the executioners of the militia were drinking in the restaurant, the cat went up and killed them all in a burst of random shots."
Sun Yumin showed a proud smile on his face, he continued: "Although I killed these people, but after the gun was fired, I was blocked by the two sentries downstairs, and in desperation, I jumped down from the upstairs, and just wanted to run when I found a knife coming in front of me, fortunately, I reacted quickly, and fell to the ground directly, so I dodged the knife, and just wanted to shoot the person who cut the black knife, but found that it was a little girl who cut me, and I was about the same age." ”
The knife used almost all her strength, slashed at the wall, and actually bent the knife. I saw that it was a little girl, and the shot was not triggered, but people didn't think so, and regardless of the cracked tiger's mouth, I was so stupid that I didn't avoid it, and I was cut on my face alive, leaving this scar. ”
Sun Yumin stroked the scar on his face with his hand, and said to Lu Man and Xiao Yuying, "Do you know the origin of this scar? Don't you hear the jokes in the future? ”
Lu Man and Xiao Yuying were a little angry when they heard him say that the scar on his face was injured by a girl, and they didn't pay attention to what he said, Xiao Yuying also pouted and said angrily: "One day you will die in the hands of a woman." ”
"The little girl who stabbed me was also frightened, screaming and running farther and farther, and I didn't shoot at her, and let her go like this."
"I don't know why the little girl cut me, why she ran away on her own after slashing me, and didn't cut me a second time."
"Covered in blood, I found a white cloth to cover my face and escaped from the county town of Shuangfeng, where martial law was about to begin. After running for a distance, he finally fainted on the road to Loudi due to physical exhaustion. ”
"There happened to be a conscription team of Sun Lianzhong passing by, and they saved me, and I naturally became an ordinary soldier in the Northwest Army, and I had just turned seventeen that year."
Lu Man and Xiao Yuying didn't understand why he fainted on the way to Loudi, not on the way back to Hengyang, and were about to ask him, but they heard Chen Bui's words: "If you don't go back to Hengyang in Loudi, you don't want to lead this matter to your host, right?" After getting Sun Yumin's nod, Chen Bui gave a thumbs up and praised: "There is affection and righteousness, there is kindness and gratitude, and revenge must be avenged, you can do this at a young age, and it is not in vain that old leader's careful cultivation." ”
