Chapter 14: Seeking Peace (II)
Yang Lin didn't say much to a few young people, so he walked to a hill and looked at Qianzhuang Town in the distance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because he was too far away, he couldn't see what was happening in the town clearly, so he could only lament for a long time.
After staying for a while, Yang Lin prepared to go home. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw Yang Lan and Liu Juan washing clothes by the well at the entrance of the village. At this time, when he saw Yang Lin coming, he smiled like a flower.
"Yang Lin, where have you been?" Yang Lan said to Yang Lin with a smile.
"I just went to the top of the mountain to inspect the situation."
"You've been miserable for Liu Juan, she's been worried about you."
"Nothing to worry about."
"Now that you're back, take her home! Otherwise, she would be angry. Yang Lan said and gave Liu Juan a look.
Yang Lin glanced at Liu Juan with a smile, Liu Juan immediately put down the clothes in his hand, walked up to Yang Lin, and stretched out his hand to pull him. Yang Lin stretched out his hand and whispered, "Let's go home!" β
When the mothers-in-law in the village saw this scene, they laughed dryly one by one, so that Zhang Chunqiu saw it in the alley, and had to carry the bucket and go back.
When she got home, Liu Juan helped Zhang Chunqiu cook, while asking Yang Lin to help light the fire.
Zhang Chunqiu saw Yang Lin staying at home, so he said to him: "Doll, you have to go to the entrance of the village to sentry." You think, the fate of a village is in your hands. β
Yang Lin was about to go out, when Yang Lan came. She smiled and said, "Yang Lin, where are you going?" ββIs Liu Juan at home? β
"I'm going to take a look at the entrance to the village...... Liu Juan at home. He's cooking with my mom! Yang Lin also said with a smile.
"Yang Lin, my father came back just now. He told Lou Chengyi that he was willing to persuade Sun Erniang about this. Let her hand over the Japanese. Yang Lan said very proudly.
"What else did your dad say?" Yang Lin wanted to know the specific matter, whether Lou Chengyi was willing to persuade Sun Erniang.
He didn't say anything. When he went to find Lou Chengyi, Lou Chengyi also killed a chicken to entertain him. In the afternoon, he went to the town to find Sun Erniang. My father saw him go to the town to find Sun Erniang, so he came back. β
"If he goes to see Sun Erniang and ignores him, then what should we do?" Yang Lin thought that Sun Erniang, the mother-in-law, was a person who did not keep his promises, otherwise he would not have been entangled with the Japanese.
"Only tomorrow I will call my father to Lou Chengyi's house and ask him about going to Sun Erniang." Yang Lan said that Liu Juan walked out of the kitchen.
"Yang Lan, you're here!"
"I'm coming! I have good news for you, your father sent someone to come, he told you to go home, and was going to ask Yang Lin to go to the house to get some food to help the people in the village. β
"Is this true?" Liu Juan couldn't believe that her father was so generous.
"Really! Just now he called someone to my house and said it. β
"Why don't you come to me!"
"That person didn't want to see Yang Lin, saying that Yang Lin had a fierce face and didn't dare to talk to him."
"Yang Lin! Tomorrow you can call some of your brothers to my house!" Maybe my dad said that if we get some food, we can improve our lives. Liu Juan said with a smile.
"We'll go to town tomorrow and go to your house by the way." Yang Lin suspected that this was fake, and it might be that Liu Laocai was reluctant to let Liu Juan suffer in Niujia Village and wanted to take her back.
The next day, Yang Tiangui listened to Yang Lan's words and went to Lou Chengyi's house early in the morning. When he went, Lou Chengyi was returning from the town and stayed at Sun Erniang's inn in the town last night. When he saw Yang Tiangui, he said in a solemn tone: "Brother, I told Sun Erniang about this. She didn't agree. After I persuaded her for a long time, she slowly agreed. However, he asked Yang Lin to go to her inn in person. She said she wanted to make a deal with Yang Lin. If Yang Lin agrees, then the two of them will have endless glory and wealth. β
Yang Tiangui didn't stay long, drank two glasses of wine and went back to Niujia Village.
When he returned home, Yang Lan was not at home, and he didn't know where she went. This matter could not be delayed, so he went directly to Yang Lin's house to see if he could meet him, and he could tell him the matter directly. On the one hand, you can get closer to Yang Lin, and on the other hand, you can inquire about Yang Lin's next step, and you can prepare yourself.
When Yang Tiangui came, Yang Lin was talking to a few young people. When they saw that Yang Tiangui was coming, they stopped talking, Yang Lin immediately walked in front of him to greet him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, are you going to Lou Chengyi's house?" β
"It's coming! I was very thirsty and wanted to find some water to drink. Yang Tiangui was deliberately diverting their attention and didn't want them to be ugly. Let them know that they are willing to resist Japan and contribute to the people of Niujia Village.
Yang Lin hurriedly went into the kitchen and scooped a scoop of water for him to drink, pulled a chair for him to sit down, and then asked, "How is it?" β
Yang Tiangui was stunned for a moment, slowly took out his pipe, looked at everyone while holding his head with a match, and said, "Yang Lin, I went to Lou Chengyi again today." Lou Chengyi told me that he went to find Sun Erniang, and at first Sun Erniang didn't agree, but later she agreed, saying that you should go to her in person about this matter. The two men spoke face to face about it. β
Yang Lin looked at the sky, it was still early. Without saying a word, he got up and left. Several brothers also followed him, Yang Xiong suspected that this was a trap set by Sun Erniang, so he said to him: "Yang Lin, this is not appropriate!" You know Yang Tiangui's thoughts, he has convinced you on the surface, but he hates you in his heart! You can't take his words seriously, if you fall into the enemy's trap and lose your life, then we are leaderless! β
"We can only talk to Sun Erniang about this. I thought about it, and I have to tie the bell to solve the bell. Since it is Sun Erniang who is the bell person, then we will go directly to her. I'm sure that Sun Erniang won't do anything to me Yang Lin. Yang Lin concluded that Sun Erniang was for money and for life. If we give her money and at the same time guarantee her life, then what's not to do.
Thinking of money, Yang Lin has no money. His only way was to persuade Liu Juan and ask her father Liu Laocai to help.
A few people went directly to the town, and just about to enter the town, they suddenly saw seven or eight big trucks coming from the road. This frightened Yang Lin, and the Japanese devils came again. What should I do?
"Since we are here, we still have to go to Sun Erniang to explain things clearly. Perhaps, we can take a few Japanese hostages and blackmail the Japanese into surrendering their weapons. Yang Xiong said.
"Good! Let's go check it out. β
A few people sneaked into the town quietly, and instead of walking down the street, they secretly went to the Night Incense Inn from a small alley. When Yang Lin walked into the inn, he suddenly saw Liu Erwa playing with a few girls. His eye was eerie, like a hungry wolf looking for food. Because five years ago, he had a fight with Zhang Fengyi, the most naughty man in Zhangjiawan, Zhang Fengyi dragged a ** from the house and shot him in the eye, which burst his eye. Since then, people have given him the nickname "One-Eyed Hole". The two have formed a feud since then, and last year Zhang Fengyi was called by Liu Erwa to call a group of people to come to the door and directly cut off his head. Since then, no one in Qianzhuang Town has dared to provoke Liu Erwa, so he has a great reputation.
Sun Erniang saw Yang Lin in the hall and blew a whistle, and Liu Erwa sent a few girls away.
"Yang Lin is here!" Sun Erniang didn't speak, Liu Erwa said first.
"It's coming! Didn't you invite me here? Yang Lin said.
"Yes! It was I who told Lou Chengyi that I want you to come to the door to talk about this and show your sincerity. Sun Erniang glanced at Yang Lin and said seriously.
After Sun Erniang finished speaking, she instructed the two girls to take Yang Lin and a few people upstairs to a small room on the third floor. Sun Erniang asked Yang Lin to sit down, and Liu Erwa and Sun Erniang sat opposite Yang Lin. The two girls brought tea and left. Sun Erniang closed the door and said to Yang Lin: "Today, I'll call Erwa, you see what there is to cooperate with." β
"The Japanese are coming to our town again, and if we don't unite to fight against Japan, then we will sit and wait. If we were united, I believe the Japanese would not be able to enter our town. Everyone is also safe, Sun Erniang can open your inn. β
"What about me? You know I'm a bandit. It doesn't do me any good if the Japanese don't come. The only thing that benefited me was that when the Japanese came, I could cooperate with them, and at least the property of a few landlords in the town would go to me. At the same time, I can also grab a few women for fun! Liu Erwa said with a wicked smile.
"Liu Erwa, the Japanese are not as kind as you think. He is an ungrateful person, maybe you have already heard that as long as the Japanese have tortured and killed, the common people will be restless! Yang Lin wanted to call him brother seriously. He knew that he and Liu Juan were of the same generation and shared ancestor. But when he saw his face and wanted to scold him, there was no need to respect him.
"The places we robbed are also restless! We have common characteristics and common interests. Unless, you promise me two things! The first thing is that you asked Yang Tiangui to marry his daughter to me. The second thing is to ask all the landlords in the town to hand over all the gold ingots to me. I'm going to work with you. Even if the Japanese call, I can flee to Shanghai with women and money. When I got there, I had the money to enter the ancestral realm of foreigners, and they had no way to arrest me. I can live my fairy life. β
"Impossible! We can't do it! Yang Lin immediately replied.
"Then don't talk about it!" Liu Erwa slammed out a sentence.
Yang Lin got up and left. When they walked out of town, they heard only sporadic gunshots in the town.
Yang Xiong said angrily to Yang Lin: "Yang Lin, why don't you talk to Liu Erwa." β
"Can you say yes?" Yang Lin asked.
"What's wrong? Pretended to promise him that as long as the Japanese were driven away, talk to him again. You pull the string and ask him to go to Yang Tiangui's house to propose marriage. If Yang Lan agreed, it would be considered a success. If we don't agree, we can't do anything, the Japanese are gone, and I don't think he will do anything to us! β
"You're thinking too simply!"
