The twenty-third day of the lunar month is the traditional year of our country.

Zhao Yunwu's house was lively, grandma finished the stove, brought a plate of dim sum, and the three of them sat on the kang, eating dim sum, chatting.

Late at night, Zhao Yunwu was sleepy, covered the bed, lay down and slept.

The old lady put a small square table in the kang room, and was doing her work by the faint light of the foreign oil lamp. It's almost the New Year, so hurry up to make a few pairs of insoles and two new clothes.

The room was quiet, the foreign oil lamp was sizzling, and Zhao Yunwu let out a soft and even snoring sound in his throat.

From time to time, a small northerly wind blew outside.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the gate, not loud, but it was clearly heard in the silence of the night.

"Milk, what do you hear outside?" A soak of urine woke Zhao Yunlong up, and when he heard the movement outside, his big eyes widened.

"It's all right, the sheep are grinding their horns on the door!" The old lady didn't take it seriously. Behind his ears, he didn't hear anything outside.

Why did the old lady say that the sheep grinded their horns at the door? Because the sheepfold in the house was broken, a little goat was mischievous, and at night he ran out and grinded his horns on the door.

The voice hadn't disappeared yet, Zhao Yunlong listened carefully, and this time he heard a little bit of the doorway.

The sound came from the door, the sound of the latch. It was as if someone was pulling the latch with something outside the gate.

Needless to say, it's certainly not a good person, and people from outside can come in as soon as the latch drops!

"Who could it be?" Zhao Yunlong raised his vigilance, got up, and took off the sleeve gun hanging on the beam.

"Brother, get up, get up." kicked Zhao Yunwu with his foot.

Zhao Yunwu slept soundly and didn't wake up at all.

Zhao Yunlong lifted Zhao Yunwu's quilt and put the sleeve gun into his arms. As soon as the cold gun stick was pressed to his body, Zhao Yunwu immediately woke up, opened his mouth wide, and said in a daze: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhao Yunlong pointed outside the gate.

It was at this time that someone outside toggled the latch and broke in.

Zhao Yunwu looked out of the window, and saw a few black shadows carrying big guns, and they had already walked to the center of the courtyard. Zhao Yunwu saw the black shadow, but he didn't see the appearance of these people clearly at all. One was because it was too dark in the yard at that time, and the other was because the situation was urgent at that time, and there was no time to take a closer look.

Just glanced at this, Zhao Yunwu understood in his heart, these people are beards!

There was a sorghum ring on the floor of the house, and there was a half-human high-red sorghum.

Zhao Yunwu held the sleeve gun, bare-chested, and hurriedly jumped behind the sorghum ring.

Zhao Yunlong threw the bullet bag to Zhao Yunwu, pulled his grandmother, and the cat went to the bottom of the kang.

Zhao Yunwu picked up the gun and fired two shots into the outhouse.

The bearded man who had already walked to the pot in the outhouse, heard the gunshot, spun around, and ran out.

Zhao Yunwu's two shots hit the water tank, shattering the water tank and spilling water on the ground.

Zhao Yunwu was afraid that his beard would enter the house, so he kept shooting at two places, one was the front door and the other was the window.

This beating made the doors and windows like a grass sieve, and white smoke came out.

"Call me!" A bearded man shouted in the courtyard.

Some of the bearded cats were behind the haystacks, some were behind the mills, and some were lying on the spot and shooting at the house.

Fierce gunfire broke the silence of the night.

The people in the tunzi heard the gunshots in their sleep, and knew that the beard had entered the tunzi, and they all got up from the bed. People with guns started firing. Guns rang out one after another, and it was as if a pot was boiling in the tunzi. Han Lao Liu, who was next door to Zhao Yunwu's house, came out with a foreign cannon and fired a few shots at the courtyard of Zhao Yunwu's house. These cannons were fired in the dark, and they couldn't hit anyone, they all hit Zhao Yunwu's grinding plates, and they were all sparkling.

When the beard saw that all the people in Tunzi had risen, one beard shouted: "The wind is not right!" ! ”

This is a bandit slang, which means that if the robbery fails, run away.

The bearded men opened fire while withdrawing from Zhao Yunwu's house. Take advantage of the darkness and quickly disappear into the night.

Zhao Yunwu didn't know the situation outside, and was still firing fiercely.

Han Lao Liu shouted into the room: "Yunwu, stop fighting, the beard has run away!" ”

As soon as Zhao Yunwu heard that Hu Zi had run away, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and he was about to chase after him barefoot. Zhao Yunlong hurriedly hugged him and said, "Brother, on such a cold day, you don't want to die!" ”

Zhao Yunwu suppressed his anger and scolded outside through gritted teeth: "Damn, don't run if you have the ability!" ”

Zhao Yunwu ran away with three strikes and five divisions in this way. All those who carried guns in the tunzi held a meeting overnight, and because the meeting was held at night, it was called a meeting.

There were a total of six people who participated in this meeting, namely Lao Tuhao, Han Lao Liu, Cao Shangfei, Li Yuting, Huo Lianfeng, and Zhao Yunwu. Among these six people, only Huo Lianfeng is not from Bentun. Huo Lianfeng is a native of Huojiagou and spent the night at Li Yuting's house tonight. Because Huo Lianfeng participated in this shootout, he was specially invited to attend this meeting.

This meeting summarized some basic facts about beards.

First, the number of beards, four or five.

Second, the purpose of the beard, because Zhao Yunwu usually has no enemies, so the purpose of the beard is very simple, that is, he wants to enter the house and grab things.

Thirdly, the way of the beard is impossible to estimate.

Next, the beard was analyzed.

First, the reason why the beard was chosen on the twenty-third night of the lunar month was to win by surprise, because on this day, people were immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year, and their vigilance was not high.

Second, the reason why Hu Zi chose to do it in Zhao Yunwu's house was because there were relatively few households in Tundongtou, so it was easy to start.

The meeting summed up the shootout.

First, the beards are small in number and outnumbered.

Second, in this shootout, Han Lao Liu was a dark horse, which played a great deterrent role in beard.

Third, Zhao Yunwu's composure and courage played a decisive role in this shootout.

Finally, look to the future.

Five guns form an alliance, and the beard fights back and forth.

This alliance was formed spontaneously, and everyone had only one purpose, to protect Tunzi from being violated. If there is an offender, he will kill him.

This meeting was a warm meeting, except for Huo Lianfeng, who did not speak, the other five people all spoke enthusiastically.

Grandpa said that the ancient people attached great importance to oaths and covenants, so there have been many chivalrous and courageous heroes for thousands of years. People in the twenties were more deeply influenced by traditional culture, and they were more trustworthy than modern people. On the night of the twenty-third day of the lunar month, their alliance was verbal, not formal. Two days later, they had a meal together, and this was the official alliance.

……………………………………………….

Two days later, a small restaurant next to the village road.

It was snowing heavily, and six men were sitting in a restaurant. There is a stove in the store, and the wood burns and crackles.

There is a jar of sorghum wine on the table.

Six people, six large bowls, the bowls contain clear sorghum wine, and the aroma of wine.

On the table is a pot of pork stewed vermicelli, and a plate of fried pork intestines, steaming.

Two of the six people had guns, Li Yuting and Huo Lianfeng. They use box guns and never leave them.

The other four were using long guns, which were inconvenient to carry, so they didn't bring them.

The old tyrant first raised the wine bowl: "Today, a few of us with guns on our backs can come together, it's not easy, come, everyone move chopsticks and drink!" ”

The six of them began to push the cups and change the lamps, eating and drinking.

Zhao Yunwu never drank a drop of wine, only ate the dishes and listened to everyone's conversation.

The old tyrant drank a bowl of wine and began to talk about the current situation.

"Nowadays, there are more and more people carrying guns, and the world is becoming more and more chaotic. In our area alone, there are hundreds of people carrying guns. There are Sun Haifeng in Liutaizi, Zhao Jialong in Pingfang, Wu Fangxiong in Yangcaogou, Guo Laojiu in Mashugou, Zhangdianshan and Zhangdianyuan in Liyugou, all of which are famous. Since we are tied together, we should also have a well-known name. ”

The old local tyrant is childlike, he gave a name to several people according to the three heroes and five righteousness of the storytelling, Han Lao Liu is called the Sky Mouse, the Grass Flying is called the Gopher, Li Yuting is called the Drill Mountain Mouse, Huo Lianfeng is called the River Mouse, and Zhao Yunwu is called the Jinmao Mouse. Because Zhaojiagou is in the north, the old tyrant proclaimed himself the Northern Hero.

It's a pity that the name of the five rats didn't sound later, and the old tyrant who proclaimed himself Beixia was even less qualified.

Everyone liked the name "Five Rats" very much, and the wine became more and more happy. Drinking and drinking, the wine table was divided into two factions, one was the old tyrant, Han Lao Liu, and the other was Li Yuting, Huo Lianfeng, and Zhao Yunwu. The three old tyrants talked about hunting, farming, and some common things, and the three young people of Li Huozhao talked about guns.

Zhao Yunwu said: "It's better to have a gun, otherwise the day before yesterday, my family was bearded, and the consequences would be unimaginable!" ”

Huo Lianfeng said: "What is a gun? The gun is our waist pole, and with the gun waist pole is hard! ”

Zhao Yunwu said: "Hehe, it makes sense! ”

Huo Lianfeng said: "You were very awesome that day, I admire you a lot!" ”

Zhao Yunwu said: "It's all forced for me, nothing." ”

Huo Lianfeng said: "Brother, if something squeaks in the future, I won't help you raise a turtle!" I'm a person who loves to join in the fun, and the more lively the better. ”

Zhao Yunwu said: "Zhong, I will definitely look for you if there is something." ”

Although a few words are simple, there is basically a consensus, that is, to be born and die together.

Li Yuting said: "If you have something to do with me, come to me directly, and I will inform Huo Lianfeng." ”

Zhao Yunwu said: "The two of you can't leave Meng, Meng can't leave the focus, basically find one, and find the second one." ”

Huo Lianfeng said: "Yes, you can't find me looking for Brother Ting." Tingge knows where I go often. ”

Zhao Yunwu said: "I'm easy to find, I'll stay at home, and I can find it as soon as I look for it." ”

Huo Lianfeng said: "It's good to know you early, one more person will have more guts!" ”

Zhao Yunwu said: "Don't talk nonsense, we'll see you later." ”

Huo Lianfeng said: "Yes, it's better to say anything than to act, come and drink the bar!" ”

Zhao Yunwu said: "I never drink alcohol, and I have no interest in alcohol. ”

Huo Lianfeng said: "You are not afraid of beard, but you are also afraid of drinking, come, drink a bowl." ”

Zhao Yunwu had no choice but to take a sip, it felt spicy and spicy, not very delicious.

No one expected that Zhao Yunwu would later become a person who drank a lot, and in the final analysis, he learned to drink with Li Huo and the others.

Huo Lianfeng said: "Brother, have you ever wanted to get ahead?" ”

Zhao Yunwu said: "I haven't thought about it, I'm living a good life now." ”

Huo Lianfeng said: "How good is this society now, people like us will definitely be able to do something earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods in the future!" ”

He drank too much, and his tongue was bigger.

Zhao Yunwu smiled and didn't speak.

Li Yuting said: "Hehe, I don't think you can do anything big, sooner or later you will have to die." ”

Huo Lianfeng said: "Those who carry guns will die sooner or later, I hope that one day I can die on the streets, and my beloved woman can cry for me, and that is enough." ”

Li Yuting said: "I'm afraid you won't even have a person to collect the body at that time." ”

Huo Lianfeng said: "Brother Ting, if I really die, can you bear to let my brother throw his body into the wilderness?" ”

Li Yuting smiled and said: "If you die, my brother will definitely buy you the best coffin!" Ha ha! ”

The wine was almost drunk, the dishes were wiped out, and the old tyrant spoke again, because he was the oldest and the oldest among the six, so he said the finale.

The old tyrant said: "Old and young masters, today, eat here, drink here, and in the future, our guns will be tied together." I won't say anything else, we just have a number in mind. ”

After speaking, the dinner was dissolved, and the six people supported each other and staggered out of the Jixiang Hotel.
