Chapter 8: Worship

Grandpa said that Li Yuting was a gentleman in Zhaojiagou.

Li Yuting is 22 years old, a big man of more than 1.8 meters, skinny, and has a straight waist. He wore a black nickname coat, which was somewhat similar in style to the current trench coat. Wear a pair of leather shoes on your feet, although the leather shoes are not very bright, but they are very stylish. Looking further at his face, his complexion was dark and angular. The first impression of this person is that he is personable.

It's not too obvious to describe it like this, but if you compare it with other men in Zhaojiagou, the effect is obvious.

The men in Zhaojiagou are either bare-headed, with the kind of short hair like a dog, or with shabby felt hats, wearing big cotton jackets and big cotton pants, and big cotton ula on their feet. In winter, the hobby of this group of men is the cat's waist arched spine, swallowing sleeves with both hands, leaning against the wall, lazily basking in the sun.

Li Yuting's outfit is an absolute gentleman.

Li Yuting's gun was a box gun, ten shots.

Li Yuting rode a jujube red horse.

In the northeastern countryside of the twenties, such a person was definitely an idol.

Li Yuting's parents have both died, and he has an eldest brother who works in Mukden, and is said to be the confidential secretary of a certain high-ranking official in Mukden.

When his eldest brother returned to Zhaojiagou, he sat in a sedan chair and was carried by four people, which was quite magnificent.

The sedan chair is a small sedan chair carried by four people, and as soon as the curtain is lifted, you can see the scenery outside. It is said that this kind of small sedan chair is very comfortable to sit on, and it is specially sat by people with status.

Li Yuting's brother grew up in Zhaojiagou, went to Fengtian at the age of 20, and never came back.

People in Zhaojiagou said that the old Li family was smoking from the ancestral tomb, and there was such a figure.

The elder brother often mailed Li Yuting, and as soon as the money was posted, Li Yuting went to the town's money bank to get it. With his eldest brother for him, Li Yuting doesn't have to farm, and his life is very comfortable.

My brother also often mailed some foreign goods and some fashionable things to Li Yuting.

Li Yuting smokes only one brand of cigarette, the Golden Gun brand cigar.

This brand of cigarettes Zhao Jiagou did not sell, but was mailed to him by his eldest brother.

Li Yuting's family also has a hand-cranked old man record player. This record player was given to him by his brother.

This record player is eighty percent new and has a good sound.

Early that morning, the record player rang again.

On the record player, the record moves slowly, and the melodious singing voice flows out of the speaker.

This song was the most popular song of the year in 1928 - Night Shanghai.

Night Shanghai, night Shanghai

You're a city that never sleeps

The lights are up, the singing is loud, and the singing and dancing are leveling

I saw him, smiling and greeting, who knew that he was depressed in his heart

Nightlife, all for, food, clothing, housing and transportation

Huo Lianfeng was shaking the record player with one hand.

Li Yuting sat on a rocking chair, listening to the song, enjoying it incomparably.

"Brother Ting, this song is so fucking good!"

Li Yuting closed his eyes, intoxicated by the singing, and didn't seem to hear Huo Lianfeng speak.

Huo Lianfeng's hand shaking the record player suddenly stopped, and Li Yuting heard the music stop and asked, "Why don't you shake it?" ”

"It sounds like a song, it's boring!"

"You don't understand, this is the most popular song of the year. It's sung on the streets of the city. ”

"This song is good, it's not very enjoyable."

"What do you like to hear?"

"18 touch, two turns, I love to listen. It's still the two of them addicted, it's all meat. ”

"People in high society love to listen to pop songs. We are in the countryside, we have little knowledge, and we have to learn from others. ”

"Brother Ting, I know you've seen the world, I don't know if you can teach me!"

Li Yuting smiled and said, "Don't talk about it, go to Zhao Yunwu for a drink." ”

"Yunwu! Yunwu! Li Huo walked to Tunxitou and stood on the gate stone outside Zhao Yunwu's house and shouted.

"Hey!"

Zhao Yunwu, who was eating in the house, responded and said to his grandmother, "Milk, I'll go out for a while." He put down the dishes and chopsticks and went out of the house.

"Yunwu, what are you doing in the house?"

"Dinner."

"Don't eat, drink."

"Good"

………………………………………………………….

The three of them came to a small restaurant by the roadside. Walking into the restaurant, the runner ran over and said, "Three masters, what do you want to eat?" Our restaurant has a complete range of dishes, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, you name it! ”

"What about bragging, right? Do you have any dishes? Li Yuting smiled.

"Hehe, what did the guest officer order?"

"Is there a bear's paw bird's nest?"

"Hehe, this is really not!"

"Don't talk nonsense with him, Brother Ting, hurry up and order!" Huo Lianfeng was so hungry that he couldn't stand it. Li Yuting ordered three home-cooked dishes, a bowl of pig's blood, a plate of pig's head meat, and a plate of fennel beans. The three of them asked for another pot of boiled sorghum wine, sat in a corner against the wall, and ate and drank.

After the dishes were eaten, Li Yuting called the shopkeeper over again and ordered, "Add another dish to us."

"Okay! What would you like to add? ”

"What is the most delicious dish in your store?" I want one of the most flavorful. ”

"I just caught a soft-shelled turtle from the river this morning. Why don't I get you a steamed soft-shelled turtle? The shopkeeper said.

"Okay, then let's have a steamed king!" Li Yuting grinned.

After about half an hour, a delicious steamed soft-shelled turtle was served.

The three of them just wanted to move the chopsticks, and suddenly found that the soft-shelled turtle on the plate only had three legs.

The soft-shelled turtle is missing a leg, and it is estimated that there are two possibilities, one is that it is like this when it is hit from the river, and the other is that the people in the restaurant did their hands and feet, and someone stole it. To put it more seriously, this is an act of deception by the hotel.

Huo Lianfeng, who had not spoken, slammed the wine bowl with a "snap" and scolded. Hearing this harsh scolding, Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly ran over and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

"Are you blind? See for yourself! Huo Lianfeng pointed at the three-legged soft-shelled turtle, and the yin wind roared.

Shopkeeper Wu looked down, was surprised, and said repeatedly, "What's going on?" What's going on? ”

"! What garlic do you pack? Huo Lianfeng stretched out his hand and wanted to beat the shopkeeper Wu. Zhao Yunwu hurriedly hugged him.

Huo Lianfeng roared, sprinkling drunken madness in the dining hall. The people in the hotel were so frightened that they hid, and no one dared to provoke this living Hades.

With a few "ping" sounds, Huo Lianfeng kicked over several dinner tables, pulled out the box gun, and shouted: "What about people? Get out of here! I'll shoot if I don't come out again? ”

The shopkeeper Wu in the back room was so frightened that he told the guys: "Don't go out of anyone, don't make trouble!" ”

Huo Lianfeng made a fuss, Zhao Yunwu and Li Yuting hugged their waists and dragged their arms, and it took a lot of effort to get him out of the hotel.

Out of the hotel, Huo Lianfeng was still scolding. Zhao Yunwu said: "Your anger is too big! The people who open a restaurant here have a back and a platform behind them. ”

"Yes, we can't afford to mess with the shopkeeper on this street." Li Yuting said.

Huo Lianfeng shouted: "Damn, I'm not afraid of the back and the stage!" ”

Li Yuting is a face-to-face person, and later had a conversation with the shopkeeper Wu.

"Shopkeeper Wu, Huo Lianfeng is not sensible, don't be like him."

"He's too a donkey!"

"Yes, he's just that temper."

"Let me tell you, Yuting, if you can open a restaurant here, you won't give it for nothing. I've been running a restaurant for so many years, and no one has ever seen one. ”

"Yes, he knew it was wrong"

"I open a store, you eat, let's hold the fish in the water, the fish in the water, how good it is to be a ball of harmony!"

"Yes"

A few days later, Li Yuting brought Huo Lianfeng to dinner again. Harmony and wealth, the shopkeeper Wu served tea and water, as if the events of that day had not happened.

In those days, it was fashionable to worship the handle. Li Huozhao and the three of them mix together every day, so they worshipped. Zhao Yunwu is the first, Li Yuting is the second, and Huo Lianfeng is the third.

In those days, it was still fashionable to send numbers, and people who mixed on the road generally had numbers. The person who sent the number is a learned gentleman.

The three of them asked for a table of wine and food in a small restaurant and invited Mr. Delivery.

Mr. Sending Numbers sent one number each. Li Yuting is Dongfan. Huo Lianfeng is Qingyun. Zhao Yunwu won both.

The three brothers are together and basically only do two things. The first thing to do is to go to the open field on the side of the road to practice marksmanship.

Zhao Yunwu is the first in marksmanship.

Zhao Yunwu's marksmanship has reached the point of piercing Yang in a hundred steps. In the past, he followed the old tyrant to hunt, and his marksmanship was no longer ordinary, but now after daily practice, his marksmanship has improved greatly compared to before.

Huo Lianfeng's marksmanship is second. Li Yuting's marksmanship ranked third.

The second thing is to drink.

Huo Lianfeng's alcohol consumption is the first. He can drink two or three catties of liquor in one meal.

After swearing brothers, the three of them were inseparable, giggling and laughing every day, and they lived a very happy life. The life of the three of them has been very peaceful, until one day, something happened.

One day in March, the three brothers gathered at Li Yuting's house. Huo Lianfeng wanted to invite Li Yuting and Zhao Yunwu to eat dog meat.

The dog that Huo Lianfeng carried in a sack was very large, weighing 50 pounds. Huo Lianfeng said: "I have been raising this dog for three years, and yesterday I asked someone to shoot it to death. I wanted to bury it, and after thinking about it, I might as well eat it! ”

It can be seen that Huo Lianfeng has a lot of affection for this dog, and when he boiled water and plucked the dog, he was sullen all the time.

Zhao Yunwu felt that it was a pity that the dog died, and asked Huo Lianfeng how it died?

Huo Lianfeng said that the dog entered someone's house and ate pancakes secretly. They couldn't get rid of it, so they shot it and killed it.

Strangely, when it came time to clean up the dog's internal organs, the dog's stomach was clean and there was no pancake crumbs at all.

If the dog did steal the pancakes, there must be food left in the stomach, but in fact, there was nothing in the stomach. This shows that the dog is not stealing anything.

Huo Lianfeng thought that the dog had eaten the pancake secretly, so he killed it, but he didn't say anything. I didn't expect the dog to be wronged. Huo Lianfeng looked at the dog in the pot of boiling water, cried twice, and said sadly: "Okay, you are a Zhang Erstick, you have bullied people to my head!" ”

The man who killed the dog was called Zhang Erbangzi.

No one is in the mood to eat dog meat, Huo Lianfeng said: "Zhang Er's stick is too bullying, I, Huo Lianfeng, am not powerful, he treats me as a sick cat?" No, I have to find Zhang Erbang to settle accounts! ”

"Do you want me to come with you?" Zhao Yunwu wanted to help Huo Lianfeng fight.

"Let's go!" Huo Lianfeng said.

"Let's go together!" Li Yuting said.
