Lu Caiting sat on the edge of his bed, straightened out his bedding, and comforted; "It's not enough to raise your hands, my 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 recuperate 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!"
