Early the next morning, Xiao Xiong led Wang Xiaofei and a few team members to follow Wang Yantai from Jiangxinzhou. Then I got on a fishing boat by Longgan Lake, and came to Tashendun Village, where Luo Pingfan lived, before noon.

Xiao Xiong got out of the boat and walked towards the shore of the lake. When the dogs of the village saw that they had come ashore, they hurried up from the shadows under the boat, and since they knew the fishermen, they did not bark, but only wagked their tails and trotted all the way to meet them.

Tashendun Village is really small, there are only 8 families in the village, all of them are low thatched houses. In fact, the village was built on a sandbar near the shore of the lake. When the water recedes, the sandbar is connected to the shore. When the water rises, the depression between the village and the shore is filled with water, and the village becomes a small island, and the only way to go ashore is to be ferried by boat. So, the average family doesn't build their home here, and the people who live on the sandbar are some of the poorest fishermen. They carry dirt from the lake to raise the foundations of the houses very high, and they must be higher than the surface of the lake during the flood, so that the houses will not be flooded when the water rises. Since this is an uninhabited sandbar, each family has a relatively large field, which is usually surrounded by a half-man-high mud wall, and then some willow trees are planted on the side of the wall, and their houses are generally built in the middle of the yard. Luo Pingfan's home is built on the edge of the village, closest to the lake, so the terrain is the lowest, and the yard and house foundation appear higher. Looking at the new soil of the courtyard wall, you can see that the courtyard has not been built for a long time.

Seeing Luo Pingfan set up his home in such a remote and desolate place, Xiao Xiong's heart was really not good. They walked into the courtyard of Luo Pingfan's house. Since none of the dogs in the village barked, the people in the house did not know that someone was coming.

"Is my sister-in-law at home?" A fisherman stepped forward and shouted into the house.

"It's coming, it's coming."

I saw a woman in her forties wiping her hands on the apron in front of her, and hurriedly walked out, she was Luo Pingfan's wife Hu Zhaodi. She was followed by her son, about ten years old.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here." Xiao Xiong took a step forward and greeted Hu Zhaodi.

Hu Zhaodi looked at Xiao Xiong, and couldn't help but be stunned, speechless for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, we're here too." Wang Yantai also stepped forward and shouted.

At this time, Hu Zhaodi came to her senses.

"Oh, young master, it's you. Come on, come on, come in and sit, come in and sit. Brother Hu, come in quickly. She greeted warmly.

Xiao Xiong looked at Hu Zhaodi, and a kind and sad emotion surged in his heart, in fact, he was very sympathetic to this woman in his heart. This kind and weak woman is an orphan who has been taken in by Daddy Xiao since she was a child. When she grew up, Daddy Xiao married her to Luo Pingfan, who was much older than him, so that she finally had a landing. Originally, they were still passable in Xiao's house, they all helped in Xiao's house, doing some light work such as cooking, laundry, running errands, etc., although they were poor, they still had no problem with food and clothing. But in just a few months, she was only in her early thirties, but she suddenly became thin and dark, and she looked like a woman in her forties, so that people couldn't recognize it at once. It seems that this family is no better.

The house was very low, Xiao Xiong and Wang Yantai followed her inside, and the others were waiting outside.

The room was built low, just enough to straighten up and raise your head. This is a thatched house with three rooms and three tows, the front three are the main house, the middle one is the hall house, and the two next rooms are where Luo Pingfan's family and children live. The last three trailers are used for stove houses and storage respectively.

Xiao Xiong saw that Luo Pingfan's family lived in such a simple house, and his heart was sour. Looking at the small, thin son who came in after them, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Hu Zhaodi entered the house, and hurriedly asked her son to bring firewood and boil water, dusted the bench made of a few boat planks with a broom, and wiped it with the apron on her body, and hurriedly beckoned Xiao Xiong and Wang Yantai to sit down.

"Sister-in-law, when did your family move here? Why didn't you say hello to us? Xiao Xiong asked Hu Zhaodi to sit down and asked.

"Well, don't mention it. That time, the devil went to Shilipu and arrested the master, ordinary and timid, afraid that the devil would come to him, so he brought our mother and wife over. ”

"Why don't you find a better place? The place is windy and sandy, and it is very inconvenient to go to the market. You see, we've been looking for a long time to get here. What about Brother Luo? Xiao Xiong and Hu Zhaodi chatted about homely things, and suddenly asked.

"He went out early in the morning to let out his nets and catch fish. I guess I'll be back at this point. You're hungry, I'll cook for you. ”

At this moment, the team members outside shouted, "Brother Luo is back." ”

Sure enough, after a while, Luo Pingfan walked into the courtyard with his burden, and he said hello to the team members sitting in the courtyard. Putting down his things, he walked into the house with his head down.

Xiao Xiong and Wang Yantai sat still listening to the movement outside, and they watched Luo Pingfan walk into the room. Luo Pingfan stood in front of Xiao Xiong and looked at him for a long time. Suddenly, he knelt in front of Xiao Xiong with a "poof", slapped his face with a sullen head, and cried with tears in his eyes.

"Young master, I deserve death, I'm sorry master, I'm sorry for those dead brothers, you kill me, kill me quickly." As he spoke, he put his head on the ground and did not lift it up again.

In fact, when Luo Pingfan was going home just now, he saw a few people standing at the door of his house from a long distance. He immediately understood in his heart that what should have come was still coming, he could hide from the first year of junior high school, but he couldn't hide from the fifteenth, and the debt still had to be repaid after all. So he calmed down, and made a more painful move than cutting the flesh with this blunt knife, lest he should be condemned by his conscience at every moment. So, he hurriedly rowed the little fishing paddle home.

When I returned home, I saw that it was really the young master Xiao Xiong. Seeing this young master who was like a brother, and thinking of Master Xiao, who was better than his father, he was ashamed, his knees weakened, and he fell to his knees at once.

Xiao Xiong stood up slowly, he looked at Luo Pingfan on the ground, and asked word by word:

"You were captured by the devils?"

"Yes."

"Is it really you who provided the Einsatzgruppen of Zai Miaozhipu?"

"Yes."

"You recruited my daddy?"

"I recruited the master."

"My dad is dead! He was still dead by you! More than 100 brothers from the Einsatzgruppen also died! Do you know? It's all because of you. You death-dying! ”

Xiao Xiong quickly took out a pistol from his waist, opened the safe, and pointed the muzzle at Luo Pingfan's head, Luo Pingfan's body couldn't help but tremble.

"I can kill you right now, avenge my father, and avenge the dead brothers!"

"Don't, don't! Young master, please spare him, he can't help it. Please, please. Young master, young master! Hu Zhaodi, who was standing on the side, fell at Xiao Xiong's feet, hugged Xiao Xiong's legs, and kept kowtowing to Xiao Xiong, and their children also rushed out of the stove house, crying and kneeling at Xiao Xiong's feet with his father.

"Commander." Wang Yantai couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this scene.

Xiao Xiong looked up to the sky and sighed, withdrew the gun pointed at Luo Pingfan, closed the safe, and inserted it back into his waist.

"Luo Pingfan, you say, how does my father treat you?"

"Grace is as heavy as a mountain, without the master, there would be no my mother and me." Luo Pingfan replied with tears streaming down his face.

"How do I treat you with my brothers from the Einsatzgruppen?"

"Like brothers, life and death together."

"Why are you? Why are you so ruthless to betray your benefactor and brother? Tears had already filled Xiao Xiong's eyes, sliding down his face, his heart was painful, he didn't understand why Luo Pingfan could bear to betray them so much.

"Young master, ordinary crimes deserve death, even a thousand knives can't be worth my crimes. Kill me, I don't have the face to live in this world anymore. He lowered his head again.

Hu Zhaodi knelt beside her son and kept crying.

Xiao Xiong looked at this family, and he really didn't know what to do. If you don't kill Luo Pingfan, heaven will not tolerate it, and the revenge of the dead father and brothers cannot be avenged. But kill him, what should the poor lady do?

Just when he was at a loss, Wang Yantai, who was standing on the side, saw his thoughts. He walked up to Xiao Xiong and pulled him out of the door, and whispered:

"Commander, I know what you're thinking at the moment. It seems unreasonable to kill him; Not killing him is not enough to comfort the souls of the dead. But I don't think I can kill him today, and I can't kill him here in front of his family. In my opinion, we will take their family to Jiangxinzhou today, and it will not be too late to kill him there. ”

Xiao Xiong listened, nodded, and felt that he had to do this.

Luo Pingfan's family can be said to be poor, and his family is surrounded by walls. Simply pack up, put on a baggage, bring two quilts, and even if it's done.

Xiao Xiong and the others dragged Luo Pingfan's almost renovated fishing boat on the shore to the lake, installed a bamboo canopy, and inserted the oars. The group rowed the boat towards the south side of Longgan Lake.

When he came to Caijiazhou, Xiao Xiong settled Hu Zhaodi and his wife, and then took Luo Pingfan and walked out. At the door, Hu Zhaodi dragged Luo Pingfan's hand but refused to relax, for fear that this would be a parting of life and death.

"Don't be afraid, damn it, it's me who is sorry for them. It is only natural that I really want them to pay for their lives. ”

As he spoke, he broke free of Hu Zhaodi's hand and followed Xiao Xiong.

They came to the grave of Daddy Xiao on the high ground of Zhoutou. Xiao Xiong lit three sticks of incense, burned the paper money he brought, tied his head with a white cloth, and knelt down in front of his father's grave. Luo Pingfan also knelt behind Xiao Xiong.

"Daddy, I have brought the enemy, and today I will kill him to avenge you and your brothers!" Xiao Xiong bowed three times to the grave and stood up.

"Luo Pingfan, in front of my father, tell your crimes one by one, and see if you should kill them."

Luo Pingfan crawled to Daddy Xiao's grave, and couldn't help crying, kowtowing desperately, crying:

"Sir! It's me, the beast, that has caused you to be troubled, and I've killed so many brothers. Let the young master kill me, and I will make amends to you again in the next life as a cow and a horse in the next life! Sir! It's me who is ungrateful, and I can't stop you! He kept kowtowing, blood and tears and snot running down his chest.

Xiao Xiong couldn't bear to look at this scene, and turned his head away. 王yantai says:

"Luo Pingfan, you can bring out all these crimes."

Luo Pingfan gradually stopped crying and told everything that happened in detail.

Suddenly, he climbed to the feet of Xiao Xiong, crying and pleading:

"Young master, I don't worry about the two children, I only have one request: don't let me die under your guns, let me die under the guns of devils."
