Chapter 32: Healing and Recounting the Past

"Are you hungry? I'm going to boil you some eggs to eat. The biggest concern in her heart was settled, and Sister-in-law Xu immediately showed the hospitality of the mountain people, and turned around to find eggs for the guests to cook and eat.

"No need sister-in-law, we're not hungry." Hong Yingying hurriedly got up and stopped. Although the conditions of Xu Laogen's family are better than those of ordinary mountain people, they are definitely not rich, boiled eggs are a luxury in the mountain people's homes, and a few eggs may be the next month's oil and salt money in this family. I and others are already uninvited guests, so why add to the burden on this thin family?

The two of them were pushing and conceding, and Xu Laogen had already come out with a small porcelain vase.

"Sir, this is a medicinal wine that can cure bruises and sprains." As soon as the lid of the porcelain bottle was opened, a strong smell of Chinese medicine and wine wafted out, and it smelled that the quality of this medicinal wine was quite good. "This is how I picked more than a dozen kinds of herbs such as Chuanxiong and Angelica, and the effect is very good! Ask the chief to come to the back room, lie down on the bed, and I will give you a medicine and massage. ”

In the living room is a table of eight immortals, a few low chairs, it is indeed inconvenient to apply medicinal wine here, Gao Quan hesitated slightly, and let Hong Yingying help him stand up, "Okay, then thank you." He thanked him, put his arm on Hong Yingying's shoulder, and followed Xu Laogen into the back room. Sister-in-law Xu helped pick up the curtain on the side.

There weren't so many people in the bedroom inside, and it was Hong Yingying and Biaozi who went in with Gao Quan, and the rest of the people were all waiting in the living room and courtyard. There are hundreds of soldiers who came out to hunt with Gao Quan, and the old Xu family must not be able to accommodate so many people, and those who can't enter are left on the street outside, led by Liu Xing and Huang Sanpao, the two regiment commanders, to guard the courtyard of the old Xu family.

The military seat was healing in this courtyard, and idle people were definitely not allowed to approach around the courtyard, and the soldiers surrounded the courtyard wall of Xu Laogen's house. There is a good relationship with the old Xu family in the past, and I usually come and go, seeing that such a big thing happened today, I want to go to Xu Laogen's house to ask about the situation, and I went out to see this posture, forget it, let's stay at home, don't go!

The bedroom was very clean, the bed was covered with clean cotton sheets, and under the sheets was a hay mat. The pillow is also filled with hay, and I don't know what herbs Xu Laogen added to it, and there is a faint aroma of herbs, which makes people's minds clear. Sure enough, it is full of mountain village flavor! Before the treatment began, Gao Quan gave Lao Xu a high score first.

Hong Yingying helped Gao Quan to lie down, took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her trouser legs, and exposed her sprained ankles. Biao Zi stared at those wolf eyes, staring at Xu Laogen with fierce eyes, if this person dared to make any abnormal moves, the guard battalion commander would definitely be able to kill him in the palm of his hand in one second!

Xu Laogen's brain and nose were already sweating. Being stared at up close by Biaozi's eyes feels like being stared at by a wild leopard, who isn't afraid? That is to say, Hu Laogen has been hunting all year round, and he has had more contact with fierce beasts, and his psychological quality is much stronger than ordinary people, so he can persevere, and he has to be replaced by ordinary villagers, and now he is scared there!

Picked up the bottle of medicinal wine, poured a few drops into the palm of his hand, rubbed his two hands against each other a few times, pressed them to Gao Quan's feet and neck, and began to massage. It should be said that Xu Laogen's massage skills are very ordinary, very ordinary. If it weren't for the good medicine and wine, Gao Quan would have asked Hong Yingying to replace him!

The strength of this hand is sometimes big and sometimes small, and the calluses on that hand touch the tender flesh on the feet and neck, and it feels very hard and astringent. Maybe just as Xu Laogen said, the medicinal materials in the medicinal wine are all hand-picked by him, fresh, and the medicinal effect of brewing is better than that of the medicinal wine bought in the pharmacy. As soon as the medicinal wine touches the skin, you can feel the warmth, and the pain in your feet and neck is drastically reduced! Considering that it may be a different massage technique, Gao Quan took a deep breath and forcibly resisted the urge to change people.

"Xu Laogen, why do you villagers look like this when they see us coming? Even if the devils have come to plague your village before, my soldiers and I are wearing the clothes of the national army, which is very different from the military uniforms of the devils, right? Why are you people still hiding? This is our first time here. In order to divert the discomfort caused by the massage, Gao Quan took the initiative to chat with Xu Laogen about the villagers' abnormal reactions today.

"Alas!" Before he could speak, Xu Laogen sighed first. "Speaking of which, it's all about the devils, if the devils hadn't come, our village wouldn't be like this!"

In this regard, not only Gao Quan, but also Hong Yingying, who was sitting at the end of the bed, and Biao Zi, who was standing in the corner of the room, all nodded. Indeed, if there were no devils to invade our China, there are many things that would have happened completely unnecessary.

"That happened last November." At that time, it was before the devil launched the Third Battle of Changsha, "There was a man named Zhang Sheng in our village, who was a powerful man in the village, and he went out to wander when he was young. ”

"It's probably the beginning of October, Zhang Sheng is back, and he brought a team of soldiers wearing national army uniforms, big guys, look at it, this is our own team, then entertain! So, the villagers sent all the grain and eggs to the village chief's house, so that the village chief could hand them over to the national army. Our country has to fight devils, and soldiers can only fight devils when they are full, and we people know this truth. When the devil came to plague our village, many people died in the village, and there was an army of their own country that could avenge our people. ”

Zhang Sheng loaded several carts of grain and eggs at the village chief's house and drove away, and the big guy thought that this matter would be over here. We are a small village, and even if we send food, we can't send much, and the villagers think that this time is enough. Who knew that within three days, Zhang Sheng led the gang back again, and they still wanted food! Speaking of this, Xu Laogen paused, poured some medicinal wine on his hand and wiped it, and pressed Gao Quan on his ankle again.

"The village has already handed over the grain once, where can the surplus grain be handed over a second time? If you hand it over again, everyone in the village will have to drink the northwest wind! After two days of stopping, no one in the village handed over any more food, and Zhang Sheng and his gang of soldiers turned their faces! Door-to-door searches, and if any family is found to have food, the food is confiscated. That's all the food for each family, what if the soldiers take away the people? ”

"The people in our village are united, and the family is in trouble. When a family whose grain was confiscated and was beaten by the soldiers, the rest of the families went up together, and the whole village fought with these soldiers and made trouble with them! When the two sides were facing each other, another team of national troops came! ”
