Originally, the three of them had arrived at the Tongguan ferry a few days ago, but because it was the New Year, no one was willing to ferry out of the boat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThey had to stay in Tongguan for a few more days.

In the meantime, Old Man Yang took Yu Tiesuo and Huang Baolian to play around the city. Although they are very poor and have little money, if they meet the two of them to eat, Old Man Yang will still buy them very generously to eat.

Every time they get something delicious, they will give it to their grandfather to eat first, and when grandpa is reluctant to eat it, they will be unhappy. The relationship between the three grandchildren is not biological, but it is better than biological.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a small boat finally began to ferry people. After the three of them crossed the Yellow River in a fishing boat and entered the Shanxi territory, Yu Tiesuo and Huang Baolian shouted happily: "Oh......, finally start a new life!" ”

After the two played around by the river for a while, Yu Tiesuo asked Huang Baolian: "Baolian, I remember you told me that there are relatives of your family in Shanxi, right?" Do you know where they live? ”

Huang Baolian thought for a while and said, "Yes, they are in Xihuo Town, Changzhi County, I don't know how to get there!" ”

After listening to this, Yu Tiesuo asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, where do you want to take us?" If you haven't thought about it, let's go to where the relatives of the Pauline family are, right? ”

Grandpa said: "You can go anywhere, anyway, we are people who walk the rivers and lakes, and we have always been home from all over the world." Then I'll take you to Xihuo Town, Changzhi County! Let's go! ”

As soon as they said go, the three grandparents and grandsons embarked on the road to find their relatives.

Along the way, they stopped and asked, asking as they went. Two months later, I came to Xihuo Town, Changzhi County.

When they first arrived, they were unfamiliar with the place, and they wandered around Xihuo Town for several days, but they didn't find the relative of Huang Baolian's family. In desperation, the old man casually found a small courtyard and settled down temporarily.

This Xihuo town is a thousand-year-old town, located at the junction of Changzhi, Gaoping, Lingchuan and Huguan counties, with a superior geographical location. There is an overview in ancient times: Xihuo, the terrain is extensive, the people are strong, and it is the largest village and town outside the south gate of Lu'an Prefecture. In the 29th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1764), there was a yamen in the north street of this town, which was the second yamen of Lu'an Mansion.

The town is full of shops, the streets are prosperous, the nunnery, view, temple, courtyard necessary for the establishment of the town in the old times are complete, there are also the West Temple, the Confucian Temple, the Old Man Temple, the Patriarch Temple, the East City Pavilion, the West City Pavilion and other buildings, there are "nine gates and nine guan lanes", "three posts and four ridges", "nine plates and eighteen slopes", pavilions and pavilions are all there, and there are many deep house compounds. The town is surrounded by thick city walls, with four gates in the east, west, south and north and corresponding small gates, which are magnificent and quite like towns. The Xizhang River meanders down and passes around the south of the West Village, the East Village and the East Village of the Middle Village, which is considered a "moat".

There are also ancient buildings near the town, such as Dongda Temple, Jiujiang Temple of Our Lady, City God, Cuiyan Temple, etc. People in the town are accustomed to divide into the upper eight lanes, the middle eight lanes, and the bottom six lanes. Due to the large size of the village, in order to facilitate management, Xihuo Village is divided into three villages: Xifu Village, Zhongfu Village, and Dongfu Village. Most of the people in the town live a production life of "working at sunrise and resting at dusk", farming in spring and summer, and striking iron in autumn and winter.

The three of them rented a courtyard in the southwest corner of the town, with a main house and a home remedies, and the middle courtyard was also quite spacious, just enough for Tiesuo and Baolian to practice martial arts.

After they settled in Xihuo Town, the old man began to do his old business again. Since then, every afternoon, he will take Yu Tiesuo to the Desheng Teahouse in the center of the town to tell stories. Unless the weather is bad, it never stops.

Desheng Teahouse is the largest teahouse in Xihuo Town, located in a prosperous location, business is booming, rich and unrich people like to come here to sit, not because of how delicious the tea here is, but because they are all lively, and they spend less money. The boss's name is Yuan Desheng, in his 50s, he is bold, and he often pays credit to regular customers, and he also gives tea if he has no money.

Every evening, the old man would teach Tie Suo and Baolian to practice martial arts. Because Huang Baolian started later than Yu Tiesuo, and her body was relatively weak, she couldn't complete the training task given to her by the old man every time, and every time at this time, Yu Tiesuo would show off her ability in front of him, and sometimes laugh at Huang Baolian.

Although his foundation is better than Huang Baolian, he does not work as hard as Huang Baolian. If a woman recognizes the truth about something, Want Want is more endurant and able to endure hardships than men.

After a year of hard work, Huang Baolian's progress has been rapid, basically catching up with Yu Tiesuo's progress, and even showing signs of being able to surpass him at any time. At this time, some of what Huang Baolian can do and Yu Tiesuo can't do, she will also show herself in front of Tiesuo, deliberately saying some provocative words to stimulate Yu Tiesuo, and has avenged the ridicule a year ago.

Children are playful, and whenever they don't practice, Yu Tiesuo will take Huang Baolian to play on the street. If Huang Baolian met something he liked, even if Yu Tiesuo didn't have the money to buy it at the time, within three days, he would definitely find a way to present that thing to Huang Baolian, but no matter how Huang Baolian asked, he never told her where the money came from.

Once, when Yu Tiesuo went out alone, Huang Baolian quietly followed behind only to find out that all his money was stolen from a rich man's house. When she first found out about this, she was very angry and wanted to tell her grandfather about it and let her grandfather clean him up, but then she found out that Yu Tiesuo would give part of the stolen money to the people called Huazi and the poor on the street, and the other part would buy some things that Huang Baolian liked for girls, and then he would gamble two in the casino, and he would be happy if he won, and he didn't care if he lost, anyway, the money was not his own.

After several secret confirmations, Huang Baolian found that Yu Tiesuo was actually very upright and kind. Although he was often a thief, he was not greedy for money, and every time he went to the rich man's house to steal, he would only steal a small amount of money, and the money he stole that day was basically used to do some good deeds; Although he also gambles, he is never obsessed, he doesn't care if he wins or loses, he just wants to have fun.

Time flies, 5 years have passed unconsciously, and Yu Tiesuo and Huang Baolian have also grown up.

Everyone says that the women's college will change eighteen, but in fact, the men's college will also change eighteen. Yu Tiesuo, who was originally good-looking, grew up to be tall and handsome, full of masculinity. Pauline is also otherworldly, more delicate and lovely.

Both of them have achieved a little success in martial arts under the teaching of their grandfather. Because Huang Baolian is more down-to-earth and diligent, her achievements in martial arts are not under the iron lock. And Yu Tiesuo follows the old man to storytelling performances all day long, and he knows more about historical figures and historical stories.

He has a cheerful personality, loves to joke, likes to tease Pauline with a hippie smile, and since he was 16 years old, he often calls Pauline his daughter-in-law. Baolian was not angry, she ignored her at first, and then chased and beat him when her martial arts gradually surpassed him. The two grew up in such fights. The relationship between the two is like buddies, like sisters and brothers, and like lovers, and they may not even be able to explain themselves.

On November 8, 1937, the Japanese army occupied Taiyuan, Shanxi, and soon went all the way south, capturing the whole of Shanxi.

On this day, the old man Yang Shouyi took Yu Tiesuo to the teahouse to tell a story, talking about the Japanese capture of Datong: "On September 13, the Japanese army entered Datong City. After the fall of Pingjin, the Japanese army divided into two ways to seize Shanxi, all the way along the Pingsui line to the west, all the way along the Pinghan line south, at that time, the commander of the second theater Yan Xishan, in order to resist the enemy outside Shanxi, formulated the battle plan of Datong, the focus of defense in the northeast of Datong Tianzhen, Yanggao line. Helplessly, the commander of the 61st Army, Li Fuying, retreated without authorization, resulting in the loss of Datong's peripheral positions one after another, and the Japanese soldiers occupied Datong without blood, thus making the battle plan come to naught. In order to strictly enforce military discipline, Yan Xishan shot Li Fuying. Then he had to withdraw his troops and retreat south, and then successively deployed troops to meet the Japanese army again in Pingxingguan, Yuanping, and Xinkou, which led to the famous Pingxingguan victory and the battle of Xinkou that occurred later......"

In the process of narration, the rhetoric was passionate, and the words were indignant, exposing the ugliness of the Japanese one by one in front of the audience, and the audience was filled with righteous indignation and scolded the Japanese.

Such a fierce scene was heard by the Japanese who patrolled the street and passed by, and they broke into the teahouse. As soon as the listeners saw the Japanese soldiers coming, they immediately fled in all directions to hide, just watching from a distance.

After the leading Japanese soldier came in, he pointed at Old Man Yang's nose and scolded in Japanese: "The hateful Shina man dares to insult us Imperial Japanese soldiers in public!" After scolding, he said to his men, "Arrest him for me." ”

When the two Japanese soldiers received the order, they immediately pounced. Old Man Yang was caught wherever he could tie his hands, he raised his right foot sideways and kicked at the two Japanese soldiers respectively.

Although Old Man Yang is almost old, his work is not weak at all, and this kick is a series of kicks in the chest of the two soldiers. The Japanese soldier's body fell backwards with the force, pressing right on his companion behind him.

When the leader saw that his soldiers were kicked, he immediately took out his gun and wanted to shoot at Old Man Yang.

Old Man Yang saw that it was not good, so he rolled forward and quickly dodged a shot shot at him. Before the Japanese soldier could fire a second shot, the old man had already felt the dart in his arms and shot it. The dart hit the throat of the Japanese soldier leader. The other head didn't struggle, and fell to the ground and died.

At this time, the other Japanese soldiers had also been loaded, and the muzzles of their guns were pointed at Mr. Yang. The old man hid behind the pillar, waited for a round of gunshots, jumped out, flicked his legs on the ground, and rushed forward with a brisk step, his left hand pushed away the guns of the Japanese soldiers in the front row, and a hook punch in his right hand hit the temple of the Japanese soldier on the right, and then hit the Japanese soldier on the left with a backhand punch in the face.

After knocking down the two Japanese soldiers, as soon as their bodies twisted, the butts of the two guns held in their left arms smashed into the heads of the Japanese soldiers behind.

At this time, Yu Tiesuo came back from buying buns outside, and saw that the old man was fighting with the Japanese soldiers, he didn't say a word, and rushed up with a brisk step, and said, "Grandpa, leave the remaining two to me!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he stuck the neck of a Japanese soldier with his arm from behind, opened his palm, grabbed his cheek, and twisted it like a side, only to hear a click, and the Japanese soldier's neck was broken. After he let go of the Japanese soldier, his right arm did not retract, and his right elbow directly hit the temple of the Japanese soldier on the right. The right elbow joint of a person is one of the hardest bones in the body, and the temple is a big dead hole on the body.

After killing six Japanese soldiers and a small leader, the old man smiled calmly and said, why are you so ruthless? Kill two as soon as you get started. ”

Yu Tiesuo said: "Isn't this something I learned from you? This is called having a grandfather and a grandson, if anyone dares to bully your old man, I will fight with him. ”

The old man said happily: "Yes, it seems that grandpa has not taught you in vain all these years." Let's go, I won't be able to go after a while. After saying that, the grandfather and grandson quickly left the teahouse.

After going home, Tie Suo excitedly told Baolian about their grandfather and grandson's brave battle against the Japanese soldiers, he said that there was a set of stories, which added oil and vinegar, and said that he was more powerful than Zhao Zilong's seven in and seven out, and Baolian laughed and leaned back.

The grandfather next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and interjected: "Baolian, don't listen to him brag, he shot cleanly, but how can he be so evil as he said?" This kid is in this suit, it's okay to deceive a little girl like you, but if you change someone else, who will believe it? ”

Pauline said, "Grandpa, I don't know him yet, but what he said is quite funny, and I will listen to it as a joke." ”

Tie Suo listened to their conversation and said unconvinced: "I admit that there is an element of bragging in what I said, but now people love to listen to this, what you say is straightforward, no matter how true it is, they don't think it's funny, and no one likes to listen to it!" ”

The old man said: "You kid is reasonable, let me tell you, don't go out for the past two days, be careful of being bumped into by the Japanese and get into trouble!" ”

The iron lock said, "What are you afraid of them for?" It's good to kill the Japanese! ”

The old man knocked on Yu Tiesuo's head and said, "You kid don't use your brains? The Japanese are not easy to mess with, they have guns, if you are disobedient and go out to cause trouble, see how I clean you up! ”

Iron lock was unconvinced and said, "What's so great about guns? I have darts. ”

The old man said a little impatiently: "You ......" Before he could say the words behind him, Yu Tiesuo laughed and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I won't go out." ”

The next day, when Pauline went out to buy groceries, she saw a group of Japanese soldiers escorting the teahouse owner and his men at the door of the teahouse, with a sign posted next to it, saying that if the killer did not show up by noon tomorrow, they would kill all the people in the teahouse.

When Pauline saw the news, she didn't dare to stay, so she hurried home to report to her grandfather.

Grandpa heard this and said angrily: "These beasts will bully the weak and fear the hard, and hurt the innocent." I can't watch the teahouse owner and the guys die for me, I have to find a way to get them out. ”

Yu Tiesuo said: "Grandpa, I'll help you, I'll go and find out the situation first, and then let's plan and save people at night." ”

Baolian also said: "Grandpa, I'm going too, I've been practicing kung fu for so long, and I haven't used it yet!" ”

Grandpa said, "Okay, they're all good boys." But, Baolian, don't go, don't fight and kill the girls, just stay at home, and I'll go with the iron lock. You prepare food and drinks at home and wait for us to come back! ”

Baolian wanted to say something, but was raised by her grandfather's hand and blocked back.

After lunch, Tie Suo walked around the teahouse and looked around. He had lived here for several years and was already familiar with the terrain, so he came to see how many Japanese were defending and where they were.

This teahouse was located at the crossroads of the street, with the north and west sides open, and he saw that the teahouse owner and his men were tied to the pillars at the doorways on both sides, and in front of them stood a group of Japanese soldiers, with seven or eight people in a row, and there were no devil guards in other places. After finding out the situation, Yu Tiesuo went back.

After returning home, Tiesuo explained the situation to his grandfather, who said: "If we save the boss and men in the north, the devils in the west will come to increase the number of people, if we can't solve them in a short time, none of us will be able to run away as soon as the devil's reinforcements arrive." If the men on the west are saved in the same way, the ones on the north will come around. This little devil is really cunning and doesn't tie people together. ”

Tie Suo said, "Grandpa, I have already thought of a way. The old man listened disapprerovingly and said, "What can you do?" Tell me about it? ”

Tie Suo said: "The two of us save one side by one, and attack at the same time, isn't that okay?" ”

Grandpa said: "There are seven or eight devils on each side, can you guarantee that you can quickly solve so many without alarming other devils?" In case one of them fires a gun, the devils in the neighborhood will soon surround us, and there are only two of us, and we don't have guns, how can we fight with them? If you don't get it right, people won't come out, and our two little lives will have to be put in. ”

Tie Suo said proudly: "Grandpa, are you scared?" Why are you getting timider the older you get? ”

The old man was not angry when he said this, and said, "What am I afraid of? I've already lived enough for a handful of old bones, I'm afraid that if something goes wrong with your kid, then I haven't fed you for nothing for so many years? ”

Iron Lock said with a hippie smile: "I've grown up, you don't have to worry about me, but you should be careful yourself, after all, at such an old age, you still think you are a young man?" ”

The old man pretended to be angry and said, "Stinky boy, do you think I'm old? Don't look at me old, I'll beat you if you don't obey! Iron Lock smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't you forget, don't we have darts?" Let's hide on the other side, use the darts to finish them off, and then we can swagger to save people. Haha"

The old man was happy and said: "How can I forget this stubble, there is no problem on my side, it is not a problem to throw a dart out and kill him four or five, but you kid, kill up to three at most, and we will be in danger when the rest comes back!" ”

The iron lock said, "Can you not keep beating me?" Don't worry, I have my own way! What the two were discussing in the house, Pauline heard all of them outside.

At the third watch in the evening, the grandfather and grandson changed into night clothes, covered with scarves and set off.

The town was not very large, and the grandfather and grandson soon came to the opposite side of the teahouse. They are hidden in the shadows, Yu Tiesuo is responsible for attacking the devils in the west, and the old man is attacking the devils in the north.

Because it was dark, the two of them couldn't see clearly from a distance, and they couldn't speak, and they couldn't do it at the same time, so the two agreed that the old man would strike first, and then start when the first dart hit the target and heard the sound of falling to the ground, so that the devils on the side of the iron lock were defenseless, and after the old man threw out the second one, the devils in the north were all solved.

According to the agreement, the old man did it, and as the old man expected, the first dart was thrown out, and the devil on the back poured 5.

Hearing the sound of falling to the ground, the devils on the side of the iron lock all looked in the direction of the sound. At this time, the iron lock also grabbed a dart and threw it out, this one he wanted to kill 4 devils, but there is often a gap between the ideal and the reality. Iron Lock's first dart was thrown out and only 3 were killed, and the fourth didn't die, but only wounded his arm.

When the devil who was injured by the dart came to his senses, he immediately shouted in Japanese, "Someone has raided." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was shot by a second dart and fell to the ground, so that two devils did not die.

Yu Tiesuo saw that his two darts flew out and only killed 6, and he panicked a little, as his grandfather said, if the remaining two shots, then none of them can escape.

At this time, the remaining two devils were already looking around with guns looking for targets. While looking for it, a warning whistle was blown.

At this critical moment, Yu Tiesuo had no time to think about it, and grabbed a dart in his hand as quickly as possible, and was just about to shoot it again, but the two devils who had slipped through the net had already fallen to the ground.

This change made Yu Tiesuo a little surprised. He didn't expect someone to help him, and he was slightly stunned, thinking that the last two were killed by his grandfather. He didn't dare to think about it, and quickly rushed to the opposite side, about to untie the rope that bound the guy. Suddenly, from the north, there was a scream from the grandfather: "Ah...... Iron lock be careful. ”

Hearing the cry, Yu Tiesuo instinctively took a step back, and before he could stand still, he saw the dagger in the hand of the man tied to the pillar poking at him, pointing directly at his lower abdomen.

Then I heard Pauline's cry: "Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Grandfather? ”

Grandpa's deep voice said, "We've been tricked, let's go with the locks, let's go......"

At this time, the boss who stabbed Old Man Yang to death and another guy from the north had blocked Baolian in the middle. Pauline clearly saw their faces, the boss was not the boss, and the buddy was not a buddy, they were all pretended to be Japanese.

Baolian saw that the dagger in the hand of the fake boss was still dripping with her grandfather's blood, and the anger in her heart burned to the extreme. The girl who usually seems gentle and delicate becomes terrifying in an instant.

She gently put her grandfather on the ground, stood up, looked directly at the fake boss, and suddenly flew up from the bottom to the top. Before the fake boss could react, the kick was already on his chin, and he threw his feet off the ground and fell backwards, falling heavily to the ground.

Before Huang Baolian's forward kick hit the ground, she kicked backwards with the force of the forward kick, and this kick hit the chest of the person behind her, and she also fell backwards heavily.

Before they could struggle to their feet, Pauline had already picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground and stabbed it into their chests.

The shot was clean and neat, Baolian herself didn't expect that she would be so ruthless, and she came back to her senses after a moment in place, picked up her grandfather's body, and cried bitterly. At this time, Grandpa was already dead.

After the iron lock dodged the knife that poked him, he grabbed the opponent's wrist with the knife with his left hand, and pressed down while hitting the opponent's spine with his right elbow hard. I only heard a click, and the other party lay on the ground and couldn't get up anymore.

At this time, the other one also attacked, and the short knife in his hand slashed vertically and horizontally, forcing the iron lock to take two steps back, and then stabbed straight into the iron lock's chest. Yu Tiesuo didn't have the heart to waste time with them at this time, and his mind was full of grandpa's safety. He spun sideways, dodged the stab, and took advantage of the spin to get behind the opponent, crossed his hands on the opponent's head, and with a slight effort, broke the opponent's neck with a click.

After getting rid of the two of them, the iron lock took three steps and ran towards grandpa in two steps.

At this time, the old man had just passed away. Seeing his grandfather lying still, he pounced, hugged his grandfather's body tightly and cried loudly. The silence of the night sky made the howl of Yu Tiesuo even more heart-rending and miserable.

Grief makes them forget their situation and wallow in the grief of losing a loved one. The two of them hugged their grandfather and shed tears in a daze. It wasn't until they were awakened by the Japanese soldiers running towards this side that they left with their grandfather's corpse in their arms.
