"Daddy," said Five Hammers, Six Hammers, standing up, and questioned again as if in disbelief; "Are you really a Communist?"

Aunt Qin said with a smile on the side; "These two stupid boys, didn't your father already tell you, why do you still ask?" It seems that she has always known that her wife is a member of the Communist Party. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The four hammers also patted their heads and sighed; "I only know that my father is buried in iron all day long, or a bowl of old white dry wine, but I didn't expect that my father is a real person and does not show his face, and he hides it deeply!"

Sledgehammer stood up and lifted the jar to fill each man's bowl with wine, chattering; "Actually, every time my father's friends come, they are always mysterious together, I know something's wrong, but I don't know that they are Communist Party ......" Speaking of this, he picked up the bowl and said in a loud voice; Let's all respect my father with a bowl of wine, it is a good thing to do the Communist Party, but after all, we are also risking killing our heads, Dad's age, and this courage, are admirable, and it also gives our next generation a good start. ”

The table was full of people who stood up and raised their bowls and toasted.

After drinking the wine, Daddy Qin stroked his beard with his hand and said solemnly; "Okay, now it's time to talk to the second young master about business," he looked at Lu Caiting and continued; "The things you have for the special combat team, a hundred pairs of shoes made of suede, gloves, daggers with sheaths, darts, ring cones, soft rope flying grabbings, thick gweed cloth shoulders, and mask scarves embroidered with tiger stripes, everything is available, Daddy has prepared them for you, just for safety, these things are all kept in the farmhouse in the mountains, and they can be extracted from the house."

After hearing this, Lu Caiting's handsome face increased, and he clapped his hands and shouted softly with excitement; "Great, everything is ready, thanks Daddy, is it just enough money for you? You can't let Big Daddy pay in advance. ”

Daddy Qin nodded again and again; "Enough, there are still a few oceans left, and the villagers all know that this is something for fighting devils, how can they charge more," Speaking of this, he turned to Aunt Qin; "Return the remaining six oceans to the second young master."

"Yes, yes." Aunt Qin agreed while reaching out and taking out the money in her arms.

Seeing this, Lu Caiting hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him; "No, this little extra money is counted as the hard work fee for the big daddy, get some wine and drink, these things are now for our New Fourth Army, and in less than a month, the special combat team of the New Fourth Army will appear in Luxi County and various places, so that the devil and the second dog will be frightened and frightened!"

As soon as it was said that the special combat team of the New Fourth Army would be established and appear in the Mianmeng area, the people at the table were all excited, and the five hammers and six hammers hurriedly begged Lu Caiting; "Brother Ting, we want to join the special combat team, please accept us, our long fists and short fights can also be practiced as you like, and we can lift more than 100 catties with one arm to lift the stone lock, and we can lift more than 300 catties with both hands to lift the grinding plate......"

Daddy Qin also used his eyes to stop his wife from returning the remaining money, he knew that the second young master was generous and uninhibited, he drank a lot of wine, full of joy, the New Fourth Army can build another team and prosper the army, and there are two young masters and their own children to join, this team must be invincible, enough for the devil to drink a pot, can he be happy, he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking; "Oh, Second Young Master, among these things I have done for you, there is one thing that I don't understand, Dad, that is, a masked scarf, yes, this scarf has eye socket holes, which can usually be wrapped around the neck, and when necessary, you can cover your face, only expose your eyes and nose, so that the other party will not recognize you, and increase the sense of mystery, but why embroider the tiger pattern on the blank space of the eyes and nose?"

Lu Caiting smiled and explained; "Daddy, this is all the four-eyed Zhuge Ning glasses came up with, you always know that he is well-versed in the past and the present, knowledgeable, he has some research on the customs of the Japanese Yamato nation, he said that the Japanese are actually very superstitious and timid, strong on the outside, and dry in the middle, embroidering these tiger patterns is to scare them!"

"Well, that's the case—" Daddy Qin nodded in agreement.

Lu Caiting picked up the wine bowl, glanced around the table, and then said word by word; "Drink this bowl of wine, this matter is settled, three days later, Daddy, Auntie and the family moved to Jiangjunao, Dongqiao Village, where we will meet......"

Aunt Qin picked up the wine bowl and said with some hesitation; "My old woman is uneducated and ignorant of the general situation, but I also know that the country is gone, where can I come from this small family, and our blacksmith shop may not be burned by the little devil that day, but I and your father are so old, not only can we not do anything when we go to the mountain, but I am afraid that it will become a burden to you......"

When Lu Caiting heard her say this, he shook his hand again and again; "No, you still have a big role to play, when we are fighting outside, you will repair guns and cannons for us at home, and we will have our own arsenal and hospital."

"Okay," Daddy Qin said dryly, in a high mood; "Big Daddy, this old bone is out of the way, when it comes to repairing guns and guns to build an arsenal, Big Daddy I still have a few old brothers, who specialize in making guns and cannons, and then I will call them together and throw away their arms to do a fight." After speaking, he craned his neck and drank the wine in the bowl.

Lu Caiting also finished drinking after touching the bowl with the other four hammer brothers and Hu'er, and after he put down the wine bowl, an anxious look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said worriedly; "Daddy, there is one more thing, the younger generation is always concerned about ......"

"What's the matter, say it, and see if Big Daddy can share it for you." Daddy Qin asked eagerly.

The people at the table looked at him, not knowing what difficult thing he was going to say, Lu Caiting paused for a moment, and then said in a long voice; "There is also my second brother and second brother, his essence is not bad, joining the Imperial Association Army is just to erase the friendship of friends in the rivers and lakes, and live a perfunctory life.

Daddy Qin sighed heavily; "Although I hate that indisputable thing, but he is my flesh and blood in the end, my old bones have joined the New Fourth Army, of course I can't abandon him, Big Daddy will definitely let him return to us."

This wine was drunk until it was dark and the lights were turned on, and Lu Caiting and Hu'er got up to say goodbye, because they had to go up the mountain overnight to the Yanyu Temple, and Daddy Qin's family was reluctant to send them off.

Leaving the Qinji blacksmith shop, Lu Caiting, Hu'er walked along the river bank to the direction of Weimeng Mountain, the bright moon is in the sky, the stars are brilliant, the water of the Yuma River is rippling, the bank in early spring, the reeds are leafy, the coupling lotus is green, the night breeze is blowing slowly, there is a unique scenery.

The two of them strode through the woods and were about to go up the mountain, when suddenly, there was a gunshot in the woods behind them, accompanied by a shout of Iriyawala, it was Japanese, it must be a devil chasing someone again.

The two of them stopped, pulled out the shell gun from the back waist, turned back into the woods, and searched for the place where the gunshots rang out.

In front of the woods, there were three black-clothed men desperately fleeing, and at the same time raising their guns to shoot back at the pursuers, a dozen Japanese soldiers and several soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army were chasing the fleeing black-clothed men, while raising their guns to shoot, while shouting to scare the fleeing people.

Lu Caiting's master and servant immediately dispersed, and the barge gun in his hand rang out, and the two of them ran and shot at the same time, so that the devil soldiers and the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army couldn't touch the shooting position at all.

During the film, more than a dozen devil soldiers and soldiers of the Imperial Association Army were all reimbursed, Lu Caiting and Hu'er were afraid that there would be ghost soldiers behind them, so they didn't dare to stay, so they stepped forward and shouted to stop the three black-clothed men who had fled and took them to the mountain to run.

Climbing the rock and crossing the wall on the mountain in one breath, after turning around and running out of a distance, Lu Caiting asked everyone to stop, he pricked up his ears and listened, there was no abnormal sound on the way, and then he put his mind at ease, and looked back at the three black-clothed people, in the moonlight, the three black-clothed people gasped, and they were already tired and out of breath, the three of them were rough and tough men, with inch heads, black cardigans, open chests and bright arms, and copper plate cooked belts around their waists, it seemed that they were either people in the green forest or people on the road.

After the first man regained his calm, he stepped forward and knelt in front of Lu Caiting and Hu'er with a 'plop', and the other two men saw this, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed for the head man; "Thank you to the hero for helping the hand, saving your life, toothless and unforgettable, please show the hero's name, we will remember it for the rest of our lives, and we will repay it in the future." ”

Lu Caiting stretched out his hand to help the leader of the man, and smiled kindly; "People who dare to fight devils are heroes, and heroes stand up and speak." After the three men stood up, he introduced himself; "Lu Caiting, the little green dragon of Qinglong Hall in Shuangji Town, is me, and this is my brother, Hu'er."

After hearing this, the three men were very surprised, and they all clasped their fists and saluted, and praised each other; "Qinglong Hall is famous in the rivers and lakes, and the big and small double green dragons are even more powerful in Su and Anhui, and the brothers have long admired and famous, like thunder, I can't imagine that we can meet today, and we will get the grace of the heroes, it is really a blessing for three lives."

Lu Caiting hurriedly shook his hand modestly; "I am ashamed to be loved by friends in the rivers and lakes! I would like to hear the three heroes and the name, why did they have a fierce battle with the devil here? ”

The man at the head rolled up his sleeves and introduced himself; "Our surname is Pang, ranked fourth, and we don't have a name, because we have green python embroidered tattoos all over our bodies, and our friends in the rivers and lakes call us 'Pang Si Python'......" In the bright moonlight, he saw that the undulating muscles of his arms and chest were entwined with blue and ink python scales, and he pointed to two other men and introduced;" My brother's name is Du Ba, because he has a dark complexion, and his light body kung fu of climbing the eaves and crossing the wall is also good, and the rivers and lakes call him 'Qing Falcon', and that friend is called Shen Xing, who crosses mountains and mountains, and is as fast as the wind, and the rivers and lakes also call him 'Fox through the mountains'. ”

After Pang Si python introduced the three of them, he sighed heavily and continued; "The three of us are also forced by life, gathered more than 10 people in the Jiuqu Cave on the east side of the mountain of Mengmeng, although we are bandits, but never indiscriminately rob and kill, sometimes helpless, but also to the village to grab some food, but never hurt people, this Mengshan has two powerful cottage people, one is the leopard Leijian cottage, five or six hundred people, eight village owners, the head of the village Ji Xiaotian, the people of the rivers and lakes are called 'fire lions', for the first bandit in the mountain, this village is fierce and fierce, everywhere they go, **** kidnapping, the people's resentment is boiling, Brother I don't want to join such a cottage, to another Tiger Roaring Peak cottage, more than 100 people, the three main villagers, the head of the village Yao Dianchen, the people of the rivers and lakes called 'Thunderbolt Zhang Fei', is the first good man in Mengmeng, this village has a clear order, not to kill and rob indiscriminately, to the way of heaven, but unfortunately they do not contain the brothers, the brothers have to barely settle in the Jiuqu Cave, to be honest, sometimes rob the people's food, people point to the backbone and scold, the brothers are also heartbroken! This time, I found out that the devil and the two dogs of the Imperial Association Army were clearing the township to collect grain in the four villages, and more than ten of us set up an ambush in front, staring at the two carriages of grain that were left alone, and seeing that they had succeeded, who knew that the devils and the two dogs in front of them were alarmed, and they frantically reinforced and surrounded them, and more than ten of us ran out, leaving only three of us! If it weren't for the rescue of the two heroes, our lives would have been over, alas, the other brothers wouldn't know if they could save their lives......" Speaking of this, Pang Si Python was so grief-stricken that he could hardly speak.

Lu Caiting has been secretly examining these people, although the three men are rough and fierce, and their eyebrows are mighty, but there is no malice in their eyes, I believe that they are telling the truth, and at the same time they are thinking in their hearts; Thinking of this, ......I wanted to go up and comfort him a few words, and I also wanted to probe his tone.

Unexpectedly, Pang Si Python suddenly knelt on one knee again, raised his fists high above his head, and said to Lu Caiting in Jianghu Cut language; "Brothers respect the gods, respect loyalty, pass five levels, kill six generals, ride alone for thousands of miles, the most respected brother in his life is Guan Erye!"

Seeing this, Lu Caiting had no choice but to raise his fist above his head and respond; "Chop Huaxiong, the wine is not cold, take the general in the million-strong army, Guan Erye is righteous and Bo Yuntian, the eldest brother gets up and speaks!"

Pang Si Python stood still and continued; "The lives of our three brothers were saved by you, and now that the men and horses are finished, the camp will definitely not be able to settle down, don't dislike us with the heroes of Wanglu, take us under the tent, and from now on before and after the saddle, go to the soup and go to the fire, we only obey the life of the heroes." His voice was pathetic, obviously from the bottom of his heart, and he spoke sincerely.

Lu Caiting knew that these reckless boys were bloody and upright, and if they were properly controlled, they would be elite soldiers on the battlefield, so he hurriedly spoke; "Brother promised the eldest brother, get up and talk in detail."

When Pang Si python saw that the other party promised to accept his group, he immediately stood up and turned his sadness into joy; "Lu Yingxing's marksmanship to kill the devil and the second dog just now, the gun kills, and it is elegant, it shows that Lu Yingxing's kung fu is peerless, and he can serve under Lu Yingying, Pang Si Python has not wasted this life."

Lu Caiting smiled modestly, and then said; "Don't hide it from the three heroes, I am now a member of the Communist New Fourth Army, and three days later, we will also set up an anti-Japanese independent column in Jiangjunao and Dongqiao Village, and when the time comes, you will come to participate, and I will welcome you on behalf of the independent column."

After Pang Si Python listened, he stretched out his hand and patted his head; "No wonder Lu Yingying has unique skills, but he is so approachable in dealing with people, it turned out to be the fourth master's person, the brothers also thought about joining the fourth master's team before, but I was afraid that they would dislike us as bandits, but I didn't expect that the fourth master's person is broad-minded and can accommodate people, my brother has nothing to say, from now on he will be the fourth master's person!" The rivers and lakes all call the New Fourth Army the Four Masters.

Lu Caiting laughed heartily and said loudly; "Heroes don't ask where you come from, no matter what you have done before, as long as you can stand up and fight devils now, the people will support you without accounting for you, and you are their hero."

Pang Si python hugged his fists and said goodbye; "Okay, brother, let's go back and clean up, during this time to fight devils, we also seized some weapons and ammunition, three days later, we moved together."

After seeing Pang Si Python and the three of them leave, the young man stared at their disappearing figures and was stunned, and his heart fluctuated; He has a wish, he wants to conquer the mountains and grass, he wants to take these bandits under his command, these bandits cause trouble, and also make the people cry bitterly, but if they are trained well and used on the battlefield, they are all outlaws who are not afraid of death, and they have strong combat ability, they will leap and leap, and they are a brave force......

"Young Master!" Hu'er shouted from the side, interrupting Lu Caiting's train of thought, and he turned his head to look at Hu'er.

Hu'er exclaimed excitedly; "Your eyes, the light of your eyes are as cold as a blade, so sharp that it makes people shudder, which I have never seen before?"

Lu Caiting pondered for a moment and replied slowly; "In fact, you are the same, remember that the master once said, when the cultivation of internal strength and martial arts reaches a certain realm, it will be full of accumulation, once you meet the fierce and powerful opponent to teach the array, this awe-inspiring murderous aura will turn into an artistic conception, with the eyes and the whole body quietly emanating, the evil man sees you from afar, he will feel that there is a powerful aura invisibly forcing him to tremble in his heart, this is also the feeling of the primitive instinct of all animals, the so-called righteousness is compelling, which means that the two of us are like hunters in the first hunting ground, Shooting the traitors of the detective team that day was just to kill some wild dogs and practice courage, and today it is a devil who is shooting, just like a real jackal beast, and the two of us are real hunters, and the murderous aura that makes the beast shudder also comes out from our whole body and eyes, and to put it simply, after a pig kills blood, he will not have the slightest fear of blood, and when he is asked to kill a pig, his eyes will be calm and cold......"

Hu'er nodded as if he didn't understand.

"And—" Lu Caiting looked at him and said; "Don't call me young master anymore, I have to give you a name, after the army is established, it will make a roster, and then take it again."

The two of them climbed the mountain and crossed the mountain to go straight to the view of smoke and rain, and after arriving at the view of smoke and rain, the two of them bypassed the front and rear halls, came to the secret room of the back mountain, and gently pushed open the door of Lin Zhifeng's room, the candlestick in the room was bright, and after entering the room, Hu'er quickly closed the door.

"Senior brother, you're back!" At first glance, the two young men sitting in the room stood up and greeted him.

Lu Caiting was taken aback, the two young men had round faces and flat heads, white shirts, and navy blue plackets, looking vigorous and neat, under a closer look, Lu Caiting and Hu'er almost blurted out exclaims, it turned out that these two young men were Meng Yi, Xinyang Senior Brothers, they had already cut their hair and returned to vulgarity according to the master's instructions.

"Good brother!" Lu Caiting happily stepped forward and hugged the two of them, excited for a while, couldn't help but glance at Lin Zhifeng on the bed, and asked with concern; "Fourth sister, does the wound still hurt?"

Lin Zhifeng's face was ruddy, her big round and bright eyes were shining with candle flames, and she smiled; "It's nothing, I also know that you are going to take these two juniors and disciples to join the New Fourth Army together, and I am telling them about the life in the New Fourth Army."

Lu Caiting took the burden from Hu'er's hand, opened the baggage, took out the men's clothes, and handed the remaining women's clothes to Lin Zhifengdao; "Fourth sister, this is a woman's outer pants and underwear, and I will change it early tomorrow morning."

Lin Zhifeng stretched out his left hand to take the burden and said gratefully; "Thank you, I didn't expect you to be so careful as a dignified young master." She suddenly noticed something, and couldn't help but ask again; "Why are the eyes of the two of you weird, it's very piercing, what happened on the way up the mountain?"

Lu Caiting nodded; "Yes, I encountered more than a dozen devils and puppet soldiers, and I was reimbursed for the two of them, so let's do it, I will send clothes and pants to Brother Liu next door, and by the way, I will visit the master, and Hu'er will tell you the specific story."

Xin Yang asked thoughtlessly; "Senior brother, did that glasses classmate of yours come this time? I miss him a lot. When he was studying, because Ning Chenlong's brother was the chief of staff of the **** division, he often got all kinds of long and short firearms and weapons from the army, and several teenagers quietly practiced shooting in the old woods of Weimeng Mountain, Meng Yi, Xin Yang originally had the foundation of superior martial arts, so he soon became a shooting master, and they were naturally very grateful to Ning Chenlong.

Lu Caiting smiled knowingly and replied; "I'll make sure you'll see him in three days." After saying that, he walked out of the room and closed the door.

Lu Caiting gently pushed open the door of the next room, walked into the room and closed the door, a lamp on the table in the room was like a bean, the light was dim and soft, Liu Twelve, who was lying on the bed, saw Lu Caiting coming to visit him, and hurriedly moved his body, smiling all over his face; "I'm sorry, I can't get up to greet us."

"Don't move." Lu Caiting hurriedly greeted, he looked at Liu Twelve, and saw that his complexion was ruddy, no different from ordinary people, so he relieved himself and handed him his clothes and pants; "It looks like it's recovering well, take good care of it, this is a new set of clothes and pants, and I'll change it early tomorrow morning."

Liu Twelve respectfully took the shirt and pants with both hands and said gratefully; "The view of smoke and rain is the strange place of the apricot forest, the medical skills of resurrection are heard in the world, and the brother will not be able to run alive in a few days, the great kindness of the elder brother, the younger brother will remember it in his heart, and he will definitely repay it in the future."

Lu Caiting sat on the edge of his bed, straightened out his bedding, and comforted; "It's not enough to worry about your teeth, brother can recuperate with peace of mind, but you are injured in your leg, it is inconvenient to walk, I am afraid that you will have to rest for some days, three days later, the independent column will be established in Jiangjun Ao, Dongqiao Village, you don't want to go, it is not too late to return to the team after the injury is healed."

Seeing him say this, Liu Twelve begged anxiously; "Good big brother, my injury is nothing, I can just have a tree stick on the pestle at that time, and I must participate in the establishment of the independent column."

Seeing that he was anxious, Lu Caiting nodded and agreed; "Okay, then I'll tell Brother Mengyi to carry you." After speaking, he stood up and took his leave; "Take care of your injuries, I still have to visit the master."

After walking out of the secret room, he came to Yunhe Zhenren's bedroom, and after greeting his master, Lu Caiting explained in detail the plan to set up an anti-Japanese independent column of the New Fourth Army in Jiangjunao and Dongqiao Village in three days.

After listening calmly, Yunhe Zhenren stroked his beard and praised; "Okay, everything has gone smoothly, at the flag waving place, you kid can pour what you have learned in your life, show it to your heart's content, and perform a song of anti-Japanese triumph, well, I really envy you young people! ……”

After a pause, Yunhe Zhenren suddenly asked; "Have you told your father and eldest brother about this? Be sure to deal with it properly and don't bother them. ”

Lu Caiting replied; "The disciple went down the mountain today, mainly to contact the weapons and send clothes and pants back to the teacher's door for the two wounded, the disciple is going to go down the mountain tomorrow to go home, to explain this matter to his father and eldest brother, and there is a written token to sever the father-son relationship with the family, and the Qinglong Hall will open an incense altar and expel the disciple from the Qinglong Hall, only in this way will the disciple's future behavior not affect them."

Lu Caiting and Hu'er lived in the Yanyu Guanshi Gate, after dawn the next day, the two of them went down the mountain again to return to Shuangji Town, back to the Lu family compound, the Lu family compound is not magnificent, but simple and quiet, the courtyard is full of Wolong pine trees and yellow horn tree bonsai, rockery pool shape, quite Suzhou garden style.

At the head of the hall sat an old man with a few locks of beard and gray hair, this old man was Lu Caiting's father Lu Hongtai.

After Lu Caiting said goodbye to his father, he sat on the Taishi chair next to him and chatted with his father about some common things, his mother left early, and his father dragged his brothers to grow up.

In the small talk, the time was almost noon, and Lu Caiting said to his father; "Dad, I have already instructed the housekeeper, add a few good dishes and wine at noon, and the eldest brother will come back later, my son has something to tell you, let's go, go to the dining room and wait for the eldest brother." With that, stand up.

Lu Hongtai also stood up and said with a smile; "What's worth adding wine and food? Oh, by the way, it's also worth adding wine and food, someone has come to the door to talk to your brother in the past two days, is it possible that you have fallen in love with whose girl again? ”

Lu Caiting smiled but didn't answer, and came to the dining room with his father, and in the dining room, the housekeeper Uncle Ji, Hu'er and the two maids were arranging cups and dishes on the table.

A twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man strode into the dining room, the young man had stiff hair, thick eyebrows stretched across the heavens, his eyes were superb and cold, his muscles were full, his belly was wolf's waist, his chest was broad, his royal blue dark flower moire cardigan, his feet were tied to the green dragon running pants, white socks and round cloth shoes, rough and majestic still had a bit of Confucian charm, he was Lu Caiting's eldest brother, Lu Caibin, the master of Qinglong Hall.

After Lu Caibin walked into the dining room, he greeted everyone affectionately; "Dad, Uncle Ji, second brother, Hu'er, hello everyone!"

Uncle Ji, the housekeeper, saw that the master had arrived, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to take a seat, Lu Hongtai sat first, the two brothers of the Lu family sat on the left side, Uncle Ji accompanied each other on the right, and Hu'er naturally sat on the lower seat.

The maid quickly served the dishes, and poured wine for everyone, crispy Songhua fish rolls, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, braised lobsters, white fruit belly chicken, roast suckling pig, and a large plate of steamed stewed humps, all of which are the dishes that the Lu family and his son love to eat, which make people salivate.

The two brothers of the Lu family and Hu'er frequently toasted Lu Hongtai and Uncle Ji, and the two old men drank so much that their cheeks were flushed, and they were very happy, and they persuaded everyone to eat food again and again.

Everyone ate some dishes, and Lu Caiting raised his glass to Lu Caibin Road; "Big brother, this glass of wine is for you, I heard my father say that someone has come to the door to talk to the big brother in the past two days, if there is a good family, the big brother must not miss it, settle down as soon as possible, let the father be relieved, brother wishes you a good marriage for a hundred years."

Lu Caibin picked up the wine glass and touched it with Lu Caiting, and said with a hearty smile; "Thank you for the second brother's intentions, but this time the matchmaker is talking about the eldest daughter of the Yu family in the Huluyu Yu family tea workshop, called Yu Yuntao, the girl's eldest brother has seen it, dignified and virtuous, and it is also in line with the eldest brother's heart."

After the two brothers finished drinking, Uncle Ji also raised his wine glass and saluted Lu Caibindao; "Young Master, Uncle Ji also congratulates you, Uncle Ji, who is in charge of the Yu family, also knows, is enthusiastic and kind, the three daughters under his knees, all of them are well-behaved and smart, Bing Xue is smart, of course, this Yu family is also quite discerning, at a glance, I take a fancy to my eldest young master, the marriage match between the eldest lady of the Yu family and the eldest young master can be called a good choice for a hundred miles of marriage, a pair made in heaven, a pair of beauties with heroes, and a good story of thousands of miles, it is really worth congratulating."

"Congratulations to Big Brother Wutong for attracting the Golden Phoenix!" "Congratulations to the eldest young master for marrying a big grandmother early and giving birth to a big fat boy early!" Lu Caiting and Hu'er also took advantage of the situation to raise their glasses and coax.

The dining room was full of laughter and laughter, echoing around the beams, and it was happy.

When the wine was half-drunk, Lu Hongtai suddenly asked; "Ting'er, don't you have something to say to your father and your eldest brother? Tell me about it. ”

Everyone's eyes looked at the second young master together, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Lu Caiting paused for a moment, he took the wine glass and drank it dry, put down the wine glass, and said as if he had made up his mind; "Daddy, at present, my Mongolian region and half of China have fallen under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders, and my son is in the autumn of troubled times, and loyalty and filial piety cannot be both......"

"What the hell are you going to say? Say it bluntly. Lu Hongtai interrupted him and urged.

Lu Caiting breathed a sigh of relief and cut it out categorically; "In order to save the country and expel the Japanese invaders, he has joined the New Fourth Army!"

Master Lu, Uncle Ji, and Lu Caibin all stared at him with wide eyes, and the atmosphere became serious for a while.

Lu Caiting continued; "The son did not discuss with his father and eldest brother in advance, made an assertion without authorization, and asked his father and eldest brother to forgive, and as soon as the son left the house, he fought on the battlefield, life and death were unpredictable, and he couldn't do his filial piety in front of his father, and he was very ashamed......"

Lu Hongtai pondered for a moment and shook his hand; "My father didn't blame you, besides, you have grown up and have the right to choose your own path in life, but my father heard that the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army are both Communist Party armies, and they are specially designed to fight the world for the poor...... Also, do you know that your master Yunhe is really true in this matter? ”

Lu Caiting hurriedly replied; "Master, his old man understands the national righteousness, and fully supports the child, and when the time comes, after the child settles down in the New Fourth Army, his old man will also come to the army to assist the child in planning and commanding, and kill the little devil."

As soon as Lu Hongtai heard that his master Yunhe Zhenren was strongly supported, he immediately showed a satisfied smile, he has been friends with real people for decades, and he knows that he is proficient in martial arts, medical skills, astronomy and geography, erudite and talented, all-encompassing, and what is even more rare is that he has deep eyes, has a wide range of broad-minded temperament and honest character, extraordinary, his insight is naturally excellent, and he has respected real people all his life.

Lu Caibin also poured a full cup of wine, and raised it to salute his brother; "Second brother, you have studied in the academy for a few years longer than your brother, you are more educated and knowledgeable than your brother, you should not be wrong in thinking about things, brother doesn't say anything, support you, I wish you success and victory!!"

After the two brothers finished drinking, Lu Caibin sighed deeply and said seriously; "Actually, my brother is very envious of the second brother, who can slaughter the little devil with a real knife, how happy! is a Chinese man like my brother in vain, full of martial arts, watching the little devil scourge his compatriots under his nose, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart is like a knife hanging, and he is really guilty...... In fact, the people of the Communist Party have approached me many times and asked me to pull people up to form a team to fight against the little devils, but my brother can't let go of this family business and the livelihood of many brothers in the scruples of supporting the family, and my brother has also changed from sympathizing with the Communist Party to supporting the Communist Party, and their bravery and courage in the War of Resistance have to be admirable. ”

At this time, Uncle Ji also raised his wine glass and saluted Lu Caiting, and said excitedly; "Okay, the second young master made the right choice, the Lu family finally appeared in the anti-Japanese famous generals, the old man congratulated the second young master, like Wu Mu Wang Yue Fei, loyal to the country, expelled the Japanese Kou, frequently spread good news, built a thousand years of meritorious deeds, and glorified the ancestors for the glory of the Lu family."

Lu Caiting hurriedly picked up his wine glass and humbly replied; "Thank you Uncle Ji for your praise, the younger generation must live up to his mission, follow the example of Wumu Wang Yue Shaobao to serve the country loyally, return my rivers and mountains, strong men are hungry for Fusang meat, and laugh and talk about thirsty and thirsty for the blood of Japanese slaves!"

Lu Caiting said a few words, and the people at the table were full of enthusiasm, like a spring breeze, and the mood was extremely comfortable.

Hu'er was attentive and thoughtful, and kept adding wine to everyone's cups, Lu Caibin suddenly stood up and said; "Don't accompany you, I'll be here in a while!" After speaking, he hurriedly left the table.

Everyone didn't know why he suddenly left the table halfway, and looked at his departing back together.

After a while, Lu Caibin strode back to the dining room with a suitcase, he put the suitcase next to Lu Caiting, and then returned to his seat, and then said with a smile; "There are ten fast and slow machine barge guns in this box, 5,000 rounds of ammunition, and 3,000 yuan in the ocean, which is a little accumulation of money from my brother to my second brother, don't be too little, and the second brother will rent this little property to develop his career in the future, if there are any difficulties, just open his mouth to the eldest brother."

Lu Caiting was also not polite, and raised the cup to salute his brother; "The eldest brother is thoughtful, and the brother thanked the eldest brother on behalf of the New Fourth Army."

After drinking for a while, Lu Caiting picked up the cup again and saluted Uncle Ji; "There is another thing that needs to trouble Uncle Ji, as soon as the younger generation leaves the house, those devils, two dogs and traitors will definitely come to the door, so I have to trouble Uncle Ji to write a statement that the younger generation will sever the father-son relationship with the father, and then you will prevaricate."

Uncle Ji took the cup and agreed; "The second young master has thought carefully and prudently, so Uncle will write it immediately." After that, drink a toast and leave the table.

After a while, Uncle Ji returned to the table with a written statement of the severance of the relationship between the father and son of the Lu family, followed by a maid with a brush, inkstone and inkstone.

Lu Caiting took the statement, took a cursory glance, then took a brush dipped in ink, signed his name, stamped his handprint, and handed it to his father Lu Hongtai, and asked him to sign his name, stamp his handprint, and then hand it to Uncle Ji, solemnly; "Uncle Lao Ji takes care of it."

Uncle Ji took the statement, folded it carefully and put it in his arms, and then motioned to the maid to take away the brush, inkstone, and inkstone.

Lu Caiting poured wine into the cup for the eldest brother and himself, and raised the cup to salute the eldest brother; "Big brother, in order not to affect the Qinglong Hall, we must open the incense hall tonight and expel the brothers from the mountain gate...... Only in this way can we block the mouths of those villains, and the heart of defense is indispensable! ”

Lu Caibin didn't answer after hearing this, and after thinking for a long time, he picked up the cup and drank it all, and said in a deep voice; "Okay, I'll immediately inform the brothers at the mouth of the altar to open the incense hall tonight!"

Dusk and evening, the night twilight falls, the main altar hall of Qinglong Hall is brightly lit, more than a dozen huge iron chain bronze chandeliers, the flame is blazing, illuminating the hall as day, the central incense case of the main wall has the tablet of the emperor of heaven and earth and the ancestors of the past dynasties, offering knife heads, livestock, fruit offerings, bright candles and long incense, green smoke curling, Qinglong Hall opens incense hall, there are generally major things, the hall only opens incense hall.

On the left and right of the incense case stood the hall master and the elders of the hall and the leaders of the altars, and below them were the disciples in the hall, and there were more than 300 people in the black press, everyone didn't know what was going on, and they were looking forward to it.

As soon as the drum sounded, the master came to stand in front of the incense case, waved the two green dragon flags in his hand, and shouted loudly; "Please move the Nine Heavenly Doushi Palace, the Taishang Laojun in the Jade Emperor Palace, the Tai Platinum Star in front of the Jade Emperor Palace, all directions are sacred, today the Qinglong Hall opens the incense hall——"

After the long aftermath was over, the master waved the order flag again, and immediately a disciple came with a wine jar and a bowl, gave each person a bowl, and then filled it with wine, the hall master, the patriarch and the leaders of each altar lined up in a row with the wine bowls on the incense table, and the master shouted again; "All the sacred on the cang, the ancestors in the sky have a spirit, clear observation, today Qinglong Hall open the incense hall, will be impartial, no favoritism, look at the sacred, the ancestors of the ancestors Bao You Qinglong Hall bright candle long shine on the foundation of the century, the incense continues to flourish for thousands of years, the wind and rain are prosperous, the six animals are comfortable, the five grains are abundant, respect the heavens and the earth, respect the sacredness of all parties, respect the ancestors——"

Everyone bowed to the incense table, and poured half of the wine in the bowl to the ground, with solemn expressions, and the hall was silent and solemn.

"The ceremonial ceremony is over, please speak." The master shouted again.

Everyone stood upright, the hall master, the patriarch and the leaders of the altars stood upright and turned around, facing the people in the hall, the patriarchs and the leaders of the altars quietly retreated and stood beside them, only the hall master was left in front of the incense case, the hall master Lu Caibin looked around at the whole hall, his eyes were blazing, and he spoke in a loud voice; "My seniors and brothers, let's get the same heart, board the same boat, no matter how high the wind is, how dangerous the waves are, we live and die together, we're in the same boat through thick and thin, it's my brothers, drink the leftover wine in the bowl, and hold on to a rope!" After speaking, he raised his hand and waved, drank the wine in the bowl in an instant, and threw the wine bowl on the ground with a 'horn' and exploded into pieces.

His magnanimity and majesty were immediately praised by the whole church, and the brothers in the church admired his heroic spirit and regarded him as a role model, and everyone imitated his actions, and after drinking the wine, he smashed the bowl to show his determination to work with one heart and one mind.

There was a lot of bang and admiration in the hall, the atmosphere was relaxed and warm, and when the hall slowly calmed down, Lu Caibin waved his hand and said loudly; "The rules of the church are ironclad, and everyone is treated equally, and now there are brothers in the hall who have submitted their resignations and want to withdraw from the church, according to the rules and regulations, review the behavior of this brother, and there is no violation and damage to the interests of the church, and the resignation is approved, and the master is asked to delete the name of this brother in the hall."

One disciple stepped forward with the roster book in his hand and handed it to the master, and the other disciple also prepared a cinnabar pen and a brush inkstone, and the master took the roster book with a serious expression.

Lu Caiting and Hu'er walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the hall master, the two of them clasped their fists and saluted the hall master, and then turned back to salute everyone in the lobby. "In front of the seniors and brothers of this church, brothers Lu Caiting and Hu'er have a reason for the incident, and they submit their resignation to the church, brothers and Hu'er have always abided by the rules of the door in this hall, and have not done anything sorry for the church, which is a reasonable resignation, after leaving the hall this time, although the body is not in the door, but the heart is in the door, all the seniors and brothers will always be my senior brothers, I hope you understand!"

There was a commotion in the lobby, and people were talking about it, and they were talking to each other, was this clearly the second young master of Xiaoqinglong, the brother of the hall master! The second young master is gentle and elegant on weekdays, treats people with a lot of courtesy, and even a little nerdy, the brothers in the hall like him very much, and a few years ago, before the hall master succeeded to the throne, he went to Shanghai Beach to explore the world, crisscrossing ten miles of foreign fields, with a green dragon martial arts by the Qing Gang tycoon Du Yuesheng appreciation, in the Qing Gang Sword Hall service, the Qing Gang can be regarded as one of the largest gangs in the world at that time, it is in the Jiangnan provinces of the helm hall is lined up, business is prosperous, according to the rivers and lakes, the sword hall by Du Yuesheng's little uncle urged the pigtail to be in charge, The following is divided into the Green Dragon, the Black Tiger, the Flying Eagle, the Fire Leopard, the Giant Bear Five Elements King Kong, Lu Caibin won the first residence of the Five Elements King Kong with outstanding martial arts, the Sword Hall is the Qing Gang is responsible for supervising and punishing, the implementation of the gang rules of the agency, in charge of the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in the gang, externally it is specifically to deal with those elite masters who are hostile to the gang, once, a hostile sect invited the Japanese ninja master and the Qing Gang to make trouble, urging the big pigtail and the five elements King Kong can not help each other, and finally Lu Caibin quietly returned to Shuangji Town, Brought Lu Caiting back to Shanghai Beach, the brothers joined forces, and surrendered the other party with the Qinglong martial arts and the second young master's Taoist Tiangang Jinyan Rain Martial Arts of the Taoist Nature Sect, and later due to other reasons, Lu Caibin did not continue to stay in the Qinggang Sword Hall and returned to Shuangji Town, and then succeeded as the master of the Qinglong Hall, this matter was originally known to very few people in the hall, but then it was quietly spread in the hall, and the brothers in the hall all knew that in fact, the second young master's martial arts were higher than the hall master, and everyone had high hopes for the second young master, but now he suddenly submitted his resignation and wanted to leave the hall. Naturally, people are suspicious and difficult to accept.

The master hesitated again and again before lifting the cinnabar pen to erase the names of Lu Caiting and Hu'er, and then annotating the date and reason with a brush.

Lu Caibin shouted loudly again; "Are there any brothers who are leaving the cousin?"

"Yes—" As soon as the shouting stopped, someone in the crowd answered, and a young man in his twenties walked out of the crowd and saluted the hall master with his fists; "Hall Master, I'm sorry, I'm 'Light Breeze Leopard' Tong Chuang, we have to follow the second young master." Tong Chuang tied his cuffs, opened his chest, his muscles were knotted, and his figure was a little thin, but he was agile and agile, which was somewhat commensurate with his nickname.

Lu Caibin knew that he was close to his second brother in age, and he had a good relationship on weekdays, so he nodded understandingly.

Unexpectedly, the crowd erupted in response one after another; "And me, Qin Sanhammer!" "Hercules Fan Ke!" "King Bigfoot!" "Cat's paw should be a small feather!" …… Out of a series of more than ten people, they want to leave the hall with the second young master.

The master looked at the hall master helplessly, Lu Caibin sighed heavily, and then nodded emphatically.

The master hurriedly erased everyone's names on the roster, and then annotated the date and reason.

Lu Caibin looked at the stunned crowd in the hall, sighed lightly, and then shouted; "Are there any brothers who are leaving the cousin?"

"Slow, and my two brothers—" The crowd responded again, and people turned around to look in the direction of the sound and moved out of the way.

The two twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old men responded unhurriedly, the two men were long, wolf-waisted ape arms, square faces, indifferent and stern, green plackets tight-fitting short hits, diagonally across the cooked leather knife belt, and twenty-four willow leaf flying knives were inserted on them, the two men looked similar, originally a pair of twins, but only a man's eyebrows and hair slightly dyed with white frost, people can distinguish between them.

The two slowly walked out of the crowd, and the men with slightly white frost eyebrows and hair clasped their fists at the same time and saluted the crowd on the left and right; "I'm sorry, my brothers and I are reluctant to leave everyone, but our group is not dragged down by the family, and we also want to follow the second young master to have a while." The two brothers can be regarded as the pillars of the Qinglong Hall, the elder brother is slightly dyed with white frost because of his eyebrows and hair, the people in the rivers and lakes call the 'White Ape Flying Knife', called Gu Jinfeng, the younger brother Gu Jinyun, the people in the rivers and lakes call the 'Spirit Ape Flying Knife', the flying knives of the two brothers are alone in the martial arts, the mighty rivers and lakes, the knife is faster and lightning, and it is not in a flash, the throat is sealed, and the hit rate is both accurate and ruthless, so even those opponents with guns are also afraid of him and the two of them.

After the names of all the people who were going to leave the Qinglong Hall were erased and the annotations were perfected, the master looked at the hall master again, and when he saw the hall master nodding, the master ordered someone to bring a bag of silver dollars, and gave each person fifty silver dollars, and reluctantly instructed; "Brothers, this is a little money for everyone in this church to settle down, you will create another party in the future, the mountains are high and the water is deep, it is not easy, but the green mountains and green waters, there will be a period in the future, meet or brothers, please!"
