After everyone ate wine and dinner, they said goodbye and left, it was already deep, and they drank a little too much for a long time, chattering about their past experiences, Wang Maoru also recalled the relationship more than ten years ago, and laughed and said that if you tied me up and cut me down on the mountain at that time, it is estimated that there will be no me today. Gai Tianjiu smiled and said If I cut you, it is estimated that I will also be cut down now, as a bandit, treachery is a common thing, in order to compete for the first deal in the cottage, there are often cases of stabbing knives in the back. Wang Maoru said with a smile that only by being kind to others can you plant good karma and get good results. The two chatted for a while, and Wang Maoru sent him out and went back, and went to Misaki's house in the evening.

Misaki saw that he was drunk, so she hurriedly served him to bed, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Wang Maoru, with a complicated expression on her face, as if she was hesitating and wandering, and finally seemed to have made up her mind, gently leaned down and kissed Wang Maoru, and fell asleep in his arms. At the moment when she lay down, Wang Maoru's eyes opened slightly, revealing imperceptible satisfaction.

Gai Tianjiu was drunk, and returned home in a flickering car, holding his urine on the road and getting out of the car, only to find that a person on the side of the road fell to the ground, it seemed to be an old gentleman, wearing a patch in a long-distance running horse coat, and holding a bamboo pole for measuring words in his hand. Gai Tianjiu walked over and said, "Is the old gentleman okay?" Didn't pee on you just now, did you? ”

The old gentleman said angrily, "I didn't pee." ”

"That's good, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now, I didn't notice you here." Gai Tianjiu said.

The old fortune teller raised his head and said, "You are quite polite. Although he seems rude, he is a cultivated general. He stood up and looked at Gai Tianjiu carefully by the lamp. sighed and said, "Seeing that your Yin Tang is black, there will be a disaster this month, or you won't be able to survive." ”

Gai Tianjiu's adjutant was angry, pointed at the old man's nose and said angrily: "Hey, how can you talk about this old thief?" Our general kindly apologized to you, but you cursed our general? ”

The old gentleman shook his head and said with pity: "I can't save it." It can't be saved. ”

Gai Tianjiu didn't read much and was a little superstitious, so he hurriedly said, "Old man." The old gentleman seems to be a fairy, what's wrong with me, old fairy? What's wrong with me? ”

The old gentleman's beard twitched, and he said half-loudly: "You are not bad in your heart, and you are loyal and righteous from the point of view of your face." But recently there has been a catastrophe. In less than a month, you will be doomed. ”

Gai Tian was anxious for a long time, and hurriedly said: "Old immortal, how can I go to the calamity?" ”

"This ......"

Gai Tianjiu said to the adjutant: "Why are you still stunned, give the old fairy a hard gift." The adjutant reluctantly gave the old fortune teller two silver dollars.

The old gentleman thought for a while, took out a box from his bosom, and in it seemed to carefully select a square folded note, sighing and hesitating before making up his mind to hand it over to Gai Tianjiu. "If there is danger of approaching, open this seal." Remember, only open when it's dangerous. Alas, I am going to be damned, I am going to be damned. ”

"Thank you, old fairy." Gai Tianjiu immediately clenched his fists and gave the old gentleman another ten silver dollars, and then got into the car and left, and took the note into his arms like a treasure.

Seeing that the convoy was going away, the old gentleman, who had been pretending to be particularly profound, suddenly became energetic, quickly counted the money in his hand, opened his eyes wide, and said to himself excitedly: "Eleven oceans, eleven oceans!" cheated so much money in three or two sentences, how afraid this person must be of death. I knew that the master would say a few more words, hey, miscalculated, miscalculated. It's best to be a soldier these days, and you're afraid of death. Hehe, Lichun Courtyard, little yellow bird, little sparrow, little bell, Ye is here, Ye is rich again, wait for Ye, Ye is here again......"

Not long after he was excited, when the old gentleman ran to the intersection, suddenly two people rushed out and grabbed the money in his hand. It turned out to be two down-and-out children of the Eight Banners, wearing tattered clothes, no different from many Han victims at the moment, in fact, after the Republic of China, these people who lost the flag and had no life skills were more miserable than the Han people who had been used to suffering since childhood. The two brothers were about to touch the porcelain bowl with a porcelain bowl, and they saw an old man like a fool waving a banknote with his teeth and claws, so he followed him to the mouth of the alley, and saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he came up to snatch it.

The old gentleman suddenly stopped, and when he fell to the ground, he did not forget to hold the other party's thigh, shouting: "My money, that's my money." ”

One of the two robbers, the tall man, gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed the old gentleman in the back, which immediately pierced the old man's heart, and the old gentleman's eyes widened, and his mouth read: "My money, my money, God's curse, deceitful people are cursed, I am cursed by God......"

"Hysteria (neuropathy) is not light." The tall man broke the old man's hand, and the two thieves disappeared into the night.

Gai Tianjiu returned home, and learned that his subordinate Li Kuan had been waiting for him for a long time, and knew that Li Kuan had come to him to intercede for his father's crime, but unfortunately his father's crime was too big, relying on his son Li Kuan was the commander of the Eighth Division, he forcibly occupied the land to plant opium to resist taxes and beat the county police chief, and was punished for several crimes. It's just that Li Kuan hopes that his father can be exempted, but he can't be the master after a long time, so he has to refuse him. Knowing that he had been waiting in the living room for a long time, Gai Tianjiu had to go home through the back door.

Seeing that Gai Tian hadn't seen him for a long time, Li Kuan walked out helplessly, and sighed: "I am the commander of the division, but I can't avoid my father's ten years in prison, what's the use of being the head of this division, what's the use of building the king with you?" ”

-- Dividing line --

Wu Chuyu, who had been promoted to a sergeant officer in the National Defense Force, opened the door of his home, and as soon as the dust fell, he choked a little uncomfortable, and he hurriedly avoided the dust and did not go home for half a year. Half a year is not a long time, but it is not a short time. Half a year ago, he was an impulsive, timid, fun-loving and somewhat ostracized orphan, only one such a depressed home, and when he ran out of money, he took something out of his ancestral house and pawned it at the pawn shop, and he lived like this for two years. Now, he has a home, his home is the Wehrmacht, and he is no longer a chatter, because on the battlefield, chatter dies the fastest.

At the end of June, the night in Beijing was cool, and his yard was full of weeds, and when the breeze blew, it looked particularly desolate. Telephone poles have been erected at the door, six rows of wires look very foreign, the old street also exudes a modern taste, and the people next door have lit up the lamp, which looks very dazzling in the dimness.

"It's already powered on." Wu Chuyu said to himself without entering.

"Yes...... Wu Chuyu? ”

A voice came from behind him, Wu Chuyu looked back vigilantly, but the dagger in his hand was pressed on his waist, but he suddenly saw that it was his friend Ma Ping'an, this kid looked at himself with a happy face, and his face suddenly bloomed with a smile and shouted: "Ping'an, is it you?" Is that you kid? ”

"Is it really you? Wu Chuyu, chatter? Ma Ping'an said excitedly.

"It's me." Wu Chuyu laughed.

Ma Ping'an flew over and looked him up and down carefully, and praised him loudly, this heroic officer wearing the black military uniform of the Wehrmacht, stepping on shiny black military boots, and wearing a black gold spike cap with the dragon badge symbolizing the military emblem of the Wehrmacht, is Wu Chuyu who cowered and was careful about everything half a year ago, went to people everywhere to eat, and followed behind everyone's buttocks? That's too much of a contrast, isn't it?

Wu Chuyu immediately hugged Ma Ping'an and said excitedly: "You kid, aren't you dead yet?" ”

"It's really you." Ma Ping'an suddenly became happy, and hugged him tightly, the two knocked each other's backs very hard before letting go, Ma Ping'an smiled: "Okay, the strength of your hands is not small, what have you done for half a year?" He looked at the dilapidated house and said, "Let's go out and drink and talk." ”

"Okay, I'm in for a treat."

"Hey, you're finally back, and you can still get a treat?" Ma Ping'an was not happy.

Wu Chuyu said: "Let's be polite, I'm making money now, I'm spending money, and I won't make money in the future, you spend money." Come on, that's it, okay? Let's go to the Huajia Mutton Restaurant, I used to dream of going to the Huajia Mutton Restaurant to eat mutton, but unfortunately I didn't have the money. Now let's go over to eat and drink, and then go to the big inn to rest, and find classmates tomorrow. ”

"Okay." Ma Ping'an said with a smile.

The two went out talking and laughing, chatting about some things in the school, what new students were transferred into, what teachers were doing, and what classmates secretly liked who in the girls' school, all the way to the mutton restaurant. The boss saw that it was a military master, and hurriedly said: "This military master, are you going to go to the private room or in the lobby?" The private room is on the second floor, the lobby is on the first floor, and the first floor is crowded. ”

"We are old Beijing, so we like to be in the lobby." Wu Chuyu said with a smile, and said, "Boss, come two pieces of mutton and Lao Baigan, hurry up for me and my brother." So he took out the money first, and the boss was busy saying that he would count it after eating, and Wu Chuyu insisted on paying the deposit first. After sitting down, Wu Chuyu said: "I just like the smell of mutton here, I used to come and smell it when I didn't have money......"

"Hahaha, it's my first time here." Ma Ping'an secretly looked at Wu Chuyu's wealth and asked, "How much money do you make a month?" ”

"At the beginning, it was less, only three yuan a month and five oceans, and then it grew a month five yuan and five, and my current salary is ten yuan a month." Wu Chuyu said indifferently, in fact, there are still some small shows in his heart, after all, he is not very old, and he can't completely get rid of the shortcomings of young people's love of showmanship.

Ma Ping'an was surprised: "So high? My dad only makes six dollars a month for pulling a foreign car, and he still earns a lot. ”

Wu Chuyu smiled: "We are exchanging our lives for money, isn't your father?" ”

"That's right, you're selling your life for money." Ma Ping'an sighed, "By the way, you talk about the war in the Western Regions, how did I hear so many versions?" ”
