Chapter 9: Brothers Reunited
When Li Yuanhai entered the city to practice stalls again, he didn't take Li Di with him.
Mrs. Luo was afraid that he would be disobedient, so she ran away with the soldier. It's no wonder that the loss of her eldest son Li Yi a few years ago was sad enough for her. A 20-year-old son who is good and dignified, he just left, and there has been no news so far. Just because of this, that heartache is like a sharp knife cutting out the heart! The son can't help it, in case he leaves again, it won't be heartbroken. She thinks so, Biao Zai is still young, should he be ambitious, just let him follow his father. Di Zai stays at home, just stay, it's better than running away with someone!
On this day, as soon as Li Biao came back from the county, he put his mouth to his brother's ear and said mysteriously. "Brother, the bay shore has been defeated."
When Li Di heard this, he was shocked and asked in shock, "How do you know?" β
"Why don't I know? The government of the workers, peasants and soldiers of the Soviet Union, which is the same as ours, was also set up on the shoreββ no, it was a Soviet government. It's the same as the new government in our county, so good. I heard that he is still the king of the West Village who picks up dung, and he is the county magistrate! ββPeople in our county say that they still picked up dung yesterday, and they can become county magistrates today. Li Biao said proudly.
"You just make it up, the county magistrate who picked up the dung is from our county, why did you go to Wangan to be the county magistrate again? He also said that he knew. Li Di said teasingly.
"That's the case, if you don't believe it, ask grandpa to go, I must know more than you when I go out with grandpa every day." Li Biao was not convinced, and still said strongly.
"What's the noise...... Li Yuanhai just entered the house, and when he saw that the two brothers were arguing, he interjected.
"Grandpa, my brother doesn't believe that the county magistrate of Wan'an used to pick up dung, you tell me, people are pickers of dung!"
"What's the matter? - Just talk nonsense! The county magistrate of Wan'an seems to be surnamed Zeng, and his family is still a big landowner. - In this world, the son rebelled against the father, and the boy changed the life of the old man, which is really a mess......" Li Yuanhai sighed very much.
But this is the destiny of heaven, because the fate of man is predestined! People wear gold and silver, which is ancestral feng shui; We are also destined to eat bran vegetables. There are no good or bad people in the world, in fact, everyone is just human at the beginning. There is no thought, only the soul, everyone is ploughing at sunrise and resting at sunset! Since there are three emperors and five emperors, talents are divided into three, six, nine and so on. Therefore, life is a matter of life! β
The brothers listened to it really, but they didn't understand it very well, and they were tired of seeing their grandfather talking, and they were not embarrassed to delve into it.
"It's a pity that my mother won't let me out!" Li Di said sadly.
"I really want to see the outside world, brave the rivers and lakes, punish the evil and promote the good, this is a happy life!"
"Brother, don't worry, next time I go out, I will definitely inquire clearly and tell you everything I see and hear." Li Biao comforted him and said.
The good times don't last long, and the circumstances of life can't be changed just by saying that they can change, and when you are used to hearing good news, bad news is near.
In the past, Li Biao, who chattered non-stop as soon as he came back from the county seat, was like a frosted eggplant! From Li Biao's natural expression, as well as his insincere words, people can feel that the sky is about to change again; I only feel that the dark forces that were originally arrogant have become darker than before! Close to madness venting their inner unwillingness. The fields in hand are being repossessed by the landlords, and the food eaten is being liquidated by the bullies; People who used to behave positively are now the targets of retaliation, and they do not abide by the rules of the game of one person doing things and one person is responsible, and they are dedicated to the families of the victims, and even the nine tribes. As long as they thought that they had something to do with the Red Army, they would be arrested, and then they would be beaten inhumanely, and when they had been tortured to the extreme, they would be shot and killed.
The most hateful thing is the system of armor protection created by the executioners themselves, and one family is guilty and ten families are in trouble; The whole world is a world of white terror! Who can be spared in such a horrific environment......
The days passed in terror, and the bloody air pressed people to the point of suffocation! On this day, Li Biao finally brought back an exciting news, he mysteriously led Li Di to the back mountain.
"Brother, do you still want to be a Red Army?"
"Mom won't let me!"
"Do you dare to help the Red Army when it is in trouble?"
"As long as I don't let my mother know, I don't dare."
Looking at his brother's impassioned appearance, Li Biao said seriously: "When I was in the county today, there was a big brother who said that he knew you, and he said that he wanted to meet you, and he was in the back mountain. β
Li Di said without hesitation: "Okay! Call him out. β
Li Biao whistled, "Shhhh......hhh
But I saw a dark-skinned strong man in his thirties come out from behind a big pine tree.
Li Di's eyes widened in astonishment, isn't this the eldest brother who had an accident a few years ago? He couldn't help but blurt out, "Big brother ......"
The strong man hurriedly put his hand to his mouth and gently "shhh "Beware of the ears on the wall!"
Li Biao's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Di suspiciously, saying, "It's him looking for you." β
At this time, the strong man motioned for Li Biao to go away.
Li Biao also went helplessly.
"Big brother, you?" Li Di couldn't wait to ask, because the person who came was his eldest brother Li Yi, who had been missing for many years.
"Second brother" Li Yu also shouted emotionally, and told his younger brother about his experience:
That year, I touched the fish in the river, but there were a lot of fish in the river that rose a little and soaked in the water, and it was very easy to catch, so I wanted to take this opportunity to catch more and go back. I didn't think that the river was getting bigger and bigger, and when I wanted to swim back to shore, it was impossible for me to swim back to the shore, and I was swimming on my back to conserve my strength, when a big log hit me, and I fainted. By the time I woke up, I was already on a wooden raft in Wangan County. ββIt was a long-term worker surnamed He who saved me, he was a long-term worker of a large family on the bay shore. He said that he saw a log that day, and wanted to fish it up, but he unexpectedly found that there was a person on the wood, and he was holding it with both hands, but the person was unconscious, so he quickly fished it up to take a look, and there was a snort. When I brought my clothes to change, my hand couldn't open them, so I had to get me to the wood, press my back hard, and squeeze out a lot of water, and then I slowly woke up.
He said that my life was so big, I could still hold on to the log if I fainted, or I would have drowned......
"Brother! You are really fateful, and you can be regarded as our ancestors! Do you know? Our mom is so sad, we searched downstream along the river for three days and couldn't find it! Li Di said sadly. Suddenly, he seemed to have an understanding, "At that time, Biao Zai was still young, and he didn't know that there was such a thing, or let him recognize the eldest brother!"
Li Yan shook his head indifferently and said, "Biao Zai is still young, so don't tell him yet." β
Li Yu was a little excited, and he continued to say something about him not returning home and embarking on the revolutionary road.
Li Di listened ignorantly, but he knew that the eldest brother was on the right path!
Li Yu glanced at his younger brother, who had grown up, and thought of his grandfather, he looked at the direction of his home, and asked affectionately: "Grandpa, his old man is good!" β
"It's tough, grandpa still teaches me to boxing with Biao Zai every day!" Li Di said excitedly.
"I haven't seen him for several years, and today I only glanced at the county from a distance,ββ I was afraid that his old man would recognize me. I don't want my parents to know that I'm still alive, because what I'm doing is a big thing to lose my head, and it doesn't matter if I sacrifice myself, I'm afraid that the dogs will be engaged in armor protection, which will even affect you, and it will make everyone burn. Li Yu said uneasily.
"So that's the case, no wonder Biao Zai doesn't seem to know your ......"
"I didn't tell him, he was still young when I left, and he has grown so tall in the past few years,ββ he should be fourteen!" Li Yi asked.
"Hmmm! It's exactly fourteen years old, and my brother has something to do when he comes back this time, right? Li Di heard it, he knew his brother's hardships, and he also understood that his brother actually endured humiliation and was well-intentioned. He would rather sacrifice himself than affect everyone, and his noble character is admirable! People who practice martial arts pay attention to sticking knives in the ribs of their friends, and now it is my brother who is dedicating his life to the safety of his relatives! This is a model that he, as a younger brother, should learn from. He thought in his heart, as long as his brother has something, in a word, he will be all over the place!
