Meng Guoan in the crowd involuntarily pinched his thigh, and only dared to believe that it was real when he realized that he knew the pain. His consternation was stronger than the others, and he even instantly felt the fear of standing in front of a wild beast for the first time when he was a beginner in hunting.

Jiang Zeyi smiled and said: "It's just the same surname, but it doesn't have relatives, and we ordinary people who are powerful and powerful can't get any light!" Good boy, it's amazing! ”

Xin Dongfang circled around the majestic war horse and said enviously: "Sister-in-law, you see that Brother Zhenkun has only been out for a few months, and he is very good!" ”

Liu Xingmei, who had been leading the horse without words, smiled unnaturally and said modestly: "Hold it and say it!" ”

Now, when Liu Xingmei faces the face she once was familiar with, she has a burning feeling on her face, no longer calm, no longer confident, and her former self seems to have been abandoned in the past and can never be found again! In this July weather, there was a slight chill on her body. The black tiger sat beside her, sticking out his long tongue, watching people's every move. Only when she looked at the black tiger could the scene of her former dependence and companionship add some comfort to her desolate and complaining heart at this time. The past is like smoke, fog, dream, but my thoughts are lingering! Even the man she liked seemed to become strange and distant in her eyes at this time. Looking at Shen Qinqi, who was standing alone and not moving, she was stunned like a wood carving clay sculpture, which made her feel even more sad!

Xin Dongfang was shocked to see the gun in the blanket and said: ?"? Brother Zhenkun, I thought you were a bandit, otherwise how could you have turned into a bandit so quickly—"

Tao Zhenkun said with a smile: "My ancestors can't pick out a bandit. ”

Kong Wu sighed with admiration: "Majestic enough, grand enough, enough man, there is no second person in the village to compare!" ”

His words were sincere, and for a moment he forgot what he had done.

When Meng Guoan pulled down his shirt, he seemed to have suddenly come to his senses.

Tao Zhenkun took out a handful of candy in his pocket and handed it to Xiao Fang in Xin Dongfang's arms.

People firmly believe in Tao Zhenkun's different identity evolution, it is impossible to be pretending, and there is no need for it.

Xin Dongfang, who was overjoyed, said to Xiao Fang: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

When Xiao Fang saw the colorful sugar, she immediately smiled, her two little hands held together and made a gesture, and she said briefly in a slurred speech: "Thank you, big ——! ”

Tao Zhenkun smiled and said with kindness on his face: "This child is so well-behaved and cute!" ”

The child has become the object of his affection.

Xin Dongfang continued to ask: "Brother Zhenkun, have you ever killed a devil?" ”

Tao Zhenkun said: "In this war era, how can you not kill people as a soldier!" ”

"And how many devils have you killed?"

"In my fond memory, ninety-nine were killed."

"So much?"

This number can be compared with "killing people like hemp", which is really chilling!

"It's probably easier to kill someone than to hunt a prey!"

"What a grudge!"

Qi Yuzhu asked her husband in a low voice: "Is it the same as the one surnamed Ji?" ”

Wang San said confidently to his wife's "shameless questioning"? A soldier is the same soldier, but not a soldier?. ”

Qi Yuzhu asked again: "Why?" ”

Wang San glared at her contemptuously and said, "One is the Communist Party and the other is the Kuomintang, can it be the same?" The Communist Party was poor, the Kuomintang was rich. I can't see it, really! ”

Qi Yuzhu said in a low voice: "The world is so chaotic, what kind of soldier is it, isn't it a joke with your life!" ”

Wang San said: "What do you know, heroes are born in troubled times!" ”

There is a frankness in the hearts of this couple, because the contradiction between Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei has been resolved, otherwise it will be very embarrassing to face at this time. At this point, Wang San admires his wife's wise move at the beginning, because he can only face it calmly if he is not an enemy.

Wang San generously stepped forward and said to Tao Zhenkun: "Brother, look at your line, you don't look like an ordinary soldier, right?" ”

Tao Zhenkun said with a smile: "The third brother is really a good eye, I am indeed not a soldier, I am serving as an adjutant to a division commander and taking on the task of a sniper." ”

Adjutant?

When Meng Guoan and Kong Wu heard this, they both felt that their legs and stomachs were a little tendoned, and now Tao Zhenkun is really reborn.

Wang San scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Is the adjutant rank big?" And what does a sniper do? ”

"I'll tell you when I have time."

Tao Zhenkun said and continued to dig out sugar, waved to the children who were watching from the side, smiled and said, "Children, come here, everyone has a share." ”

Some children know him after all, and they don't feel afraid, and sugar is full of temptation for children. So, they hula suddenly surrounded them. Tao Zhenkun gave them the candy one by one, and stroked their heads one by one.

This scene made Liu Xingmei, who has always been a cold bystander, very sad in her eyes, and the taste of not having children is very uncomfortable!

At the same time, she was also surprised to find that Tao Zhenkun's career as a horse for only a few months judged him to be like two people, not the person who was clumsy and restrained in front of others, but became a quality temperament, confident and free and easy in speech and demeanor, it seems that the environment can change a person, no longer cowardly and humble, like the identity of a soldier completely stimulates a man's potential inherent energy. Now he and his former self have been reversed, and his once flamboyant personality is gone! She couldn't help but sigh with emotion, what a dramatic life this is? From now on, her sharp personality will no longer be revealed, she can only live like a shrunken turtle, everything seems to have nothing to do with her anymore, and there is a feeling of quitting the stage of life!

(She was in the mood of "people are in the midst of longing, but I am alone" as I wrote in my poem.) ）

Because of the fear of the black tiger, Zhu Le could only hide in a distant place and look this way, and Tao Zhenkun in a suit and leather shoes exuded generosity and charity, and couldn't help but rise up in his jealousy and resentment. Without knowing why, he spat on the ground angrily, and said suspiciously in his mouth: "Is there really a pie in the sky?" Is this donkey dung egg really feverish? It seems that Feng Shui is really in turn! ”

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, this ancient saying contains philosophical implications, the world is unpredictable, and nothing remains immutable.

At this time, he, a greedy and cheap person, regretted that he shouldn't have had a problem with Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei, and now he doesn't want to catch any benefits! As for Mei Xiang's death, will Liu Xingmei tell Tao Zhenkun? Tao Zhenkun blatantly killed himself? Thinking of this, his legs and stomach turned tendons, and the back of his spine was cold, and he ran back in fright.

Xin Dongfang said: "Brother Zhenkun-no, it's time to call you sir, I-"

"Don't, they've been calling brothers and sisters for many years, but that seems to be a raw part." Tao Zhenkun patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's go to my house in the evening, how many cups will we have with my brothers?"

Wang San also said: "Let's go to my house, I also hunted a yellow sheep on the mountain two days ago!" ”

Several people are scrambling, this is people, all with eyesight, all want to climb high. However, some people are sincere, sincere, and don't think much about it. But there are people who have a purpose, that is, to stammer, in order to have a good relationship in the future, and this is the unfathomable human heart. Many people love the icing on the cake, and few people can send charcoal in the snow, and the world is hot and cold, all in this!

Tao Zhenkun said: "Thank you for your hospitality, I won't trouble you, I still have to visit Mrs. Wu." ”

In the past, out of a certain inferiority complex, he had never been so close to the villagers, but now it is different, which makes him deeply feel the happiness that this nostalgia can bring to people, like the fragrance of wine.

Wang San asked: "You are not a jobless white man now, and it is not safe on the road, so you came back alone?"

Tao Zhenkun said: "I took four guards and left them in a village called 'Xing'antun' to wait for me. ”

As he spoke, he handed the candy to a little boy who had not come forward to ask for it, and the child was seven or eight years old, and he was very pleasant.

"Little Master Zhengrong, eat candy!"

The kid shook his head and didn't answer, just smiled shyly at Tao Zhenkun, then turned around and ran away.

This little boy is Wu Long's son, the third of the younger generation of boys in the Wu family, maybe sugar is not a rare thing for him.

Tao Zhenkun watched him run in the direction of home, straightened up and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, glanced at Meng Guoan, who had been speechless but a little stunned, and threw the cigarette to him and said, "Brother Guoan, I haven't seen you for a few months, why do you feel angry with me?"

The blue and purple on Meng Guoan's face was still faintly visible, he subconsciously reached out to catch the pack of cigarettes, smiled embarrassedly and said: "I really didn't expect the brother to be so promising, this is a step to the sky, soaring, it just makes me dare not recognize me as a brother!" ”

Tao Zhenkun smiled slightly and said: "Where is it, what is my little bit of interest, no matter what, I will never forget the villagers!" ”

"That's that!" Meng Guoan nodded wryly.

Liu Xingmei ignored Meng Guoan, and her ugly face almost made her vomit. Despicable villains will always be an abomination! Meng Guoan has been avoiding her eyes, as if he doesn't dare to look at her. The flames of hatred were roasting her broken heart, and the various glances that came to her at that time were cruelly ravaging her self-esteem! I can't hate to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart! She didn't have the courage to reason with him, because she was afraid that she would smear the matter more and more black, which would be even more humiliating. From the analysis that Meng Guoan was inexplicably beaten by his cousin Kong Wu, most of the people who inscribed poems on the shadowless wall would be Meng Guoan.

"You give the cigarette to the big guy to smoke, I'll talk to everyone when I have time." Tao Zhenkun said and walked towards Liu Xingmei.

A few men approached Meng Guoan's side.

"Let's go!" Liu Xingmei wanted to escape from this uneasy occasion as soon as possible.

The husband and wife pulled their horses and walked in the direction where they had just gone.

Tao Zhenkun peeled off a piece of candy and handed it to Liu Xingmei's mouth.

Liu Xingmei hesitated, but still put the piece of sugar in her mouth, but she didn't taste the sweetness!

Tao Zhenkun's eyes looked at the houses, from which he could clearly capture the location of his home, and some of the chimneys of their homes were rising smoke, as if they wanted to dissolve with the sunset. His heart swelled with sadness, if his father and mother were here, he would go home first!

When she came back this time, Liu Xingmei suddenly became silent, Zhu Le ran away when she saw the black tiger, Meng Guoan's expression was panicked, in his discovery, it was really changing, he didn't know what the reason for this seemingly incomprehensible subtle change was indictated? Everything is not as familiar as it used to be because it is a little unfamiliar! In this somewhat wrong atmosphere, he seemed to have discovered something with the keen observation and subconscious vigilance of an excellent hunter, which was also related to the fact that as a good sniper on the battlefield, he had to decisively guess the enemy's cunning intentions, so he wanted to peek out the secret that made him suspicious from the depths of Liu Xingmei's once rare faint and resentful pupils, but Liu Xingmei refused his exploration by lowering her head to avoid it.

Looking at her strange behavior, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart, and when he was about to ask, he saw Shen Qinqi, who had been hiding aside, timidly walking over.

Shen Qinqi is the same as Liu Xingmei, but he has a different sadness and pimple condensed on his brows, with tears in his eyes.

Tao Zhenkun spoke first: "Sister-in-law is good! ”
