So he drank the wine of blood. The four people were the first to cut their fingers and drip blood into the wine jug, and the others followed suit one by one, and then poured the red wine mixed with the blood plasma of the four people from the wine jug into the four wine cups, and drank them together. Heiwa suddenly remembered the scene of drinking blood wine with Thumb Mang'er for the first time. He said to the other three: "Commander Zhang, Battalion Commander Bai, Battalion Commander Jiao, Lu has only one thing to boast about: never live up to people." Head Zhang slapped the table: "I have lived on this one all my life!"

Heiwa then completed his second marriage. Bai Xiaowen first introduced him to the daughter of an old Xiucai, and Zhang Tuanchang gave him a look at the daughter of a cloth shop owner in the county, and Zhang Tuanchang and Bai Xiaowen had a friendly dispute over this. Bai Xiaowen insisted that Lao Xiucai's daughter was literate and reasonable, which was just a supplement to what Heiwa lacked; The woman was very smart, she had not gone to school for a day but could memorize four books, all of which were memorized when she listened to Lao Xiucai's recitation. Head Zhang thinks that this kind of woman is a sack sewn with silk thread for Heiwa - too thin and bad; Heiwa needs a sassy and neat woman to take care of the housework, and the social scene is indispensable for socializing. The result of the argument between the two was to let Heiwa choose. Jiao Zhenguo said haha, just let Heiwa draw lots, and whoever catches it counts as the big one. In his eyes, no matter which one is just a woman. Heiwa finally chose Yufeng, the daughter of Gao Lao Xiucai, and said sincerely: "Leader, I need to find someone who is knowledgeable to take care of me." ”

When Bai Xiaowen officially proposed to Lao Xiucai as a matchmaker, Gao Lao Xiucai only put forward a prerequisite, requiring his future son-in-law to quit sucking "soil" first, and affirmed that this was his daughter Yufeng's request, otherwise he would resist marriage to the death. Heiwa said to Xiaowen: "It's easy to do." After eating six bowls of mutton steamed buns, he commanded his brothers: "Tie me to the barrel of a cannon and tie the end of the rope into a dead knot." "Heiwa was tied to the barrel of the cannon for five days and five nights, and the soup did not enter; On the third day, it rained heavily, and he scolded the group for trying to cut the ropes...... Heiwa quit smoking successfully, not only married back the youngest daughter of Lao Xiucai, but also shocked all walks of life in the county with his prestige, this person is really a cold guy.

Heiwa bought a house in the county seat, hired craftsmen to carry out a thorough repair, and turned it into a beautiful new house. This is where the fiery wedding ceremony takes place. The implementation of every chapter and section of the long and lengthy book of weddings has brought joy and pain to Heiwa again and again. He wore a red flower and stepped on the red horse, and his heart beat like a rabbit when he set off to greet his relatives with the horn band blowing in the woo wow, so that when he saw the behavior of his father-in-law, he suddenly remembered the face of Xiao'e's father, who was ashamed to see people, and that was also a well-read old Xiucai; When Heiwa followed the colorful sedan chair to return in the joyful and melodious music, she suddenly thought of the scene of climbing a tree and climbing over the wall to have an affair with Xiao'e in the Wuju family in Weibei; When Heiwa led the bride into the gate and into the cave room, the violent explosion of thunder cannons and string cannons made his blood boil, even in such a warm and noisy occasion, the scene when he and Xiao'e walked into the cave at the head of the village still flashed in his mind; Heiwa unveiled the red silk scarf that the bride covered her face, and when she saw a calm and calm face covered by shyness, Xiao'e's eyebrows flashed vividly and affectionately...... When the wedding book turns to the last page, when the banquet closes, the guests disperse, the courtyard is silent, and the red candles are shining, the joy of reality and the pain of memories are still intertwined and violated each other. When the latch of the cave door was inserted, Heiwa's mood became even worse, and he felt that he was very awkward, very empty, very timid, and very despicable, and on the chair opposite sat only a weak woman, and the flames of two red candles flickered on the bride's face; He couldn't think of any previous feat that could make him feel confident and proud, and the tide of waves was full of dirty blood and turbid water, and the unsightly affair with Xiao'e and the dirty affair with the black and white peony in the cottage completely made him fall into a state of self-blame and remorse. She sat on one side of the square table, her dark green pleated skirt dragging loosely on the floor, covering her knees and legs that were close together; The two flat shoulders show the edges and corners; The red satin jacket vaguely reveals the outline of two tightly formed **; The jet-black hair was curled into a large bun with a green emerald bone inserted into it; Under the thin eyelids are a pair of calm black eyes; a straight and delicate nose bridge; Thin and moderately thick lips show more confidence and composure. Heiwa sat and smoked for a long time, and when she saw a pair of mandarin duck pillows on the kang head, she was even more cowardly to the point of being unable to control herself.

The red candles burned out one after another. The remnants of the wax twist of Mars lasted for a short time and became extinct. It was pitch black in the room. Heiwa felt a little more comfortable in the dark, and plucked up the courage to say: "Lady, do you know that I was not a human before, but a ......" The bride on the other side of the square table intercepted his words in a hurried and calm voice: "I only say from now on, not before today." Heiwa trembled when she heard this, and she cried out, and then she felt a hand on her shoulder, and a handkerchief gently caressing his face and eyes. Heiwa hugged her body suddenly, snuggled on her chest and whimpered, "If you don't look at me, I will have a caring person." But the bride smiled and said, "You carry me to the kang......"

It's completely peaceful and tranquil, and it's heart-wrenching, but not crazy. Heiwa unconsciously became gentle and cautious, like a rough man carrying a silk purse, unable to put it down and afraid of crumpling. The bride was calmer than him, she didn't seem to be too much cowardly, nor was she crazy or impatient, she accepted his cautious caresses, and reciprocated his caress with measure. Her gentleness, solemnity, and femininity were just the right balance to make him feel reliable and safe while receiving all the goodness.

The next morning, when Heiwa woke up, she was no longer the bride, and when she went to the kitchen door, she saw her holding the bellows in one hand and spreading the book on her lap. When Heiwa finished washing her face, she first handed him a cup of tea, and then brought him a bowl of eggs. Heiwa took a sip of tea and grabbed chopsticks, grabbed an egg and then sank into the bowl, raised her head and said, "I will study from today." ”

Yufeng said: "You can miss it." ”

Heiwa asked, "Is it too late?" I'm afraid it's too late to remember to study now?"

Yufeng said: "The sage said, 'It is okay to die at night'. There is no such thing as being late or late. ”

Heiwa said: "Then I will worship you as a teacher!"

Yufeng shook her head: "If you really want to study, you should be serious about apprenticeship." I can't do that. ”

Heiwa asked, "Why?"

Yufeng said: "Sensei forgot that you are a husband, if I become your husband, I will not have a husband." You go out to apprentice. ”

Heiwa walked into Bailu Academy with a pious heart, and Zhang Xiucai, who was guarding the door, refused him to enter: "No matter who or what, Mr. Zhu will thank you." Heiwa said: "You go and spread the word, and say that the bandit leader Lu Heiwa wants to see Mr. ”

Mr. Zhu was closing his eyes in the shade of a tree in the courtyard. He sent away several colleagues who compiled the county chronicles, not only could not pay for their lives, but also could not afford to manage three meals. The last time Mr. Zhu found the county government to complain about the importance of the county chronicle compilation project, the director in charge of money touched his huge bald head, and laughed: "Good Mr. Zhu! Is it important to suppress the Communist Party? Is it important for Secretary Yue to allocate funds to buy cannons for the security group?" Mr. Zhu choked on and argued: "Now as long as a lithograph money, the county chronicle has been compiled." The director said: "Put it down first, and when you destroy the ** Guotai Min'an, I will allocate funds to you, and if you allocate more, it will be beautifully printed......" Mr. Zhu has long stopped reciting afternoon exercises in the morning, and often sits on the broken rattan chair with his eyes closed. Hearing Zhang Xiucai's report, Mr. Zhu opened his eyes: "Oh! I've never seen bandits in my life. Let him in. ”

Heiwa entered the door and entered the courtyard, and saw an old man with silver hair sitting on a dilapidated rattan chair, just like a mountain standing diagonally, and after walking a few steps, he fell to his knees with a thud: "Lu Zhaoqian asks to see Mr." ”

"Who are you? What do I have to do with it?"

"Contemptible Lu Zhaoqian, who was a bandit before, is now the commander of the artillery battalion of the security regiment. I want to worship Mr. as a teacher. ”

"I don't study anymore, do you still want to study?"

"Zhao Qian has been wandering for half his life, half a life of bastard, half a life of confusion, and now he wants to study and seek knowledge to live a clear life and be a good person."

"You sit down and say."

Heiwa stood up and sat down on the stone bench. Mr. Zhu said self-deprecatingly: "Some of my disciples are businessmen, some are officials, some are popular, some are farmers, and none of them are bandits. I will accept you, and my disciples will be all they can do. As he spoke, he went back to the house and fetched a pen and paper, and pulled out the cap of the pen; The pen has dried up, soaked in water and polished the ink, and wrote the words "learn to be a good person" to Heiwa, saying: "You are my last disciple." This is my last inscription. ”

Heiwa gets up every morning to dance the sword in the misty morning light, and then sits down to recite the "Analects", naturally often asks Yu Gao's Yufeng; Every ten days and a half months, I go to Bailu Academy, recite it to Mr. Zhu, and then talk about the truth of my own experience. Mr. Zhu was deeply surprised, and began to talk to him seriously, and sighed with emotion: "Others first go down to learn and then go out to the world, you have passed through the world to seek knowledge; Others are studying for wealth and promotion, but you are the real one who seeks learning for self-cultivation and is a man. Heiwa said modestly: "I will do a little bit of learning, so that I don't do bastard things again." Mr. Zhu craned his neck and sighed: "I can't imagine that one of my disciples who really wants to learn is actually a bandit embryo!"

Heiwa's speech began to appear elegant, and her gestures also showed a kind of elegance. Yufeng loves Heiwa even more. The regiment commander and his colleagues are also aware of this change. When Heiwa walked into Bailu Academy again, she said excitedly: "Sir, I want to go back to the original to worship my ancestors." Mr. Zhu stared at Heiwa for a long time, and said with trembling lips: "Wow Zhaoqian, I will accompany you back to the original to worship your ancestors!"

Heiwa really began to consciously reborn self-cultivation, almost cruelly abandoned some of the original bad habits, and forcefully forced herself to accept and develop the qualities that a good person should have. At the same time, Heiwa reorganized the artillery battalion more severely, tying up batch after batch of big smokers to the cannon barrels, and the constitution of the bandit brothers changed significantly at first; He stripped off a regimental member who was touching a woman's ass on the street and tied it to a tree, and asked each of the more than 200 regimental members of the artillery battalion to whip a stick; In the past, the security team was a tiger that everyone feared in the county, and a rat that everyone hated, and people called the security group a troublemaker; Heiwa's practice of reorganizing the third battalion was rewarded by Commander Zhang, and the first and second battalions also carried out rectification activities; The image of the security regiment among the residents of the county has changed since then, and Heiwa has become famous in the entire security regiment and the county.
