Early in the morning of the twenty-second day of the lunar month, that is, the first morning of Ma Lin's return to Gushantun, a post was posted on the door of Ma Lin's house, which was a large red piece of paper, sparsely written with a few fist-sized words:

Marin:

Come and take your head at noon on the twenty-third day of the lunar month!

Luda

The first to discover the post was Ma Zhanshan. Ma Zhanshan didn't close his eyes last night. The day has already entered the wax moon, which is the coldest season in the north, and Ma Zhanshan's asthma has also reached its peak in this coldest season. Throughout the night, he coughed incessantly and gasped incessantly. Marin is back, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is impossible to escape, even if Lu Da does not find trouble with Ma Lin, Ma Lin will also find Lu Da to settle accounts. Last night he had seen the signs in the eyes of his son Marin. After so many years, Ma Lin has become no longer the Ma Lin before the age of sixteen, and Ma Lin after more than ten years makes Ma Zhanshan feel strange. In the past ten years, Ma Lin has returned to the backing mountain several times, each time in a hurry, sometimes Ma Lin will ask someone to bring back some silver taels in Fengtian City.

When Marlin came back occasionally, he didn't have anything more to say to him, and he always chatted with Marin without words.

He said, "I have received the money you asked someone to bring back in the spring."

Marin said, "Oh.

He also said, "I have bought another two acres of land this autumn."

Marin said, "Oh.

He also said: The land is good land, resistant to drought and waterlogging, and the land has to be fertilized to catch a handful of oil.

Marin said: What do you want so much land for?

He said, "What can you do without land, but the land is a treasure."

Marin Says: ......

Since then, Ma Zhanshan has felt that his son Ma Lin is strange, so strange that he can't touch the edge. He felt that he had a lot to say to his son, talking about those lands, saying that the properties that the Ma family is now buying are not all for you Marin, and at his own age, he will die if he says he is dead, and the properties left behind are not all your Marin's? He is such a son as Ma Lin, and he doesn't even have three relatives and four relatives, what is he for, isn't it for the Ma family to prosper forever from generation to generation?

Ma Zhanshan knew that Ma Lin, who was wandering outside, had different ideas from himself. Regardless of the differences, sooner or later Marlin will fall back to his roots. He was convinced. His prophecy finally came true, Marin finally returned to Gushantun, and everything was developing according to his expectations.

Qiu Ju was raped out of the child by a beard, and a good family was about to be ruined. Ma Zhanshan was on pins and needles on the eve of the crisis, he couldn't sleep, and it was impossible to sleep, and the sound of the grass in the lower room came into his ear drums from time to time, as if a knife and gun were poking at his heart. He closed his eyes and thought desperately to the darkness: God, let me die, if I die, it will be a hundred times. Ma Zhanshan ushered in the morning of the twenty-second day of the lunar month in pain. As he did every day, he squeaked open the courtyard door, and as a result, he saw the post sent by Lu Dacha. After reading the post, his eyes went dark, and he sat on the snow. What Ma Zhanshan was most worried about finally happened, he didn't expect it to come so quickly. Yesterday Marin just arrived home, and the kang had not slept before the post arrived. Ma Zhanshan felt that the end of the world had come, and he shouted: Oh my God, he fell on the snow.

When Marin saw the post, he didn't say a word. He walked around his courtyard twice, then lit the marriage, and even whistled as the smoke came out. Next, he walked towards Ma Zhanshan. Ma Zhanshan's startling just now poured a mouthful of phlegm into his throat, suffocating him to death. So he sat on the snow and watched Marin approach him step by step.

Marin said flatly: Dad, what are you doing sitting outside on a cold day, go back to the house.

Ma Zhanshan held back for a long time before he took a breath: Son, this family is ruined, ruined.

Marin didn't seem to hear his father's nagging, he was playing with the two fast guns in his hand, and those two guns were played by Marin with many tricks, which dazzled Ma Zhanshan. It was at this time that Ma Zhanshan began to regret his decision more than ten years ago. If Ma Lin hadn't been allowed to defect to the Northeast Army, maybe there wouldn't have been so much trouble now, although the days are dull, but they are stable, there is no way to find trouble with the beard, and the people of small families only want to be stable and peaceful. Who would have thought that more than ten years later, the sky in front of Ma Zhanshan's eyes would collapse. Thinking of this, two lines of cold tears rolled down Ma Zhanshan's gray face.

The expression on Yangmei's face when she saw the big red post on the door was an understatement. She tilted her head and looked left and right, as if admiring a New Year's painting. Her face was red, like a plum blossom blooming in the wax moon. She wore a fat cotton robe, her waist for more than five months was already very obvious, a pair of black and bright eyes were full of smiles, the world was infinitely beautiful in her eyes, and finally she stretched out a pair of slender jade hands to uncover the big red paper, and held it high above her head, like a banner raised, she waved this flag at Marin, and at the same time waved an infinitely beautiful smile towards Marin.

Marin whistled at the bayberry.

Yangmei tore up the post in twos and twos, and threw the confetti everywhere, as if it was a goddess scattering flowers.

Ma Zhanshan saw all this in his eyes, he didn't understand until he died, seeing that a catastrophe was coming, why did the man and woman in front of him do this.

If Marlin had taken this piece of paper seriously, he wouldn't have been Marlin the Sharpshooter. If the bayberry is sad, or even crying and screaming, then the bayberry is not the bayberry.

Yangmei is a female student in Fengtian City, knowledgeable, educated and well-informed, not to mention a few mustache tricks, even when she usually goes in and out of the barracks of the Northeast Army, she is like no one. She adores Marin as much as she adores her own father. Her father is a famous division commander in the Northeast Army, and it can be said that Yangmei's childhood and youth were spent in the warlord melee, fighting, killing, birth and death, she Yangmei has never seen anything. She admires her father, her father was killed all the way to become the teacher, her father is not only the teacher but also the senior staff of the handsome Zhang Zuolin, and her father often takes her in and out of the marshal's mansion in Fengtian City. She is the Marlin she met in the Marshal's Mansion. The handsome guards are all good, not only will the two guns not only be fired, but also all of them are heroic and handsome.

On that occasion, her father took her to chat with the marshal in the marshal's mansion, when two assassins attempted to murder the marshal, but were discovered by the alert Marlin, who didn't even use a gun, jumped up to the roof of the building in a few steps, and smashed the two assassins into meatloaf. It was from that time that she really fell in love with Marin.

Yangmei and Marin held a very grand wedding in Fengtian City, and the officiant was Dashuai. After she and Marin lived together, she knew that there was a woman named Qiu Ju in Marin's hometown, but she never took Qiu Ju seriously, there were many women around her father, but her father liked the youngest woman around her. She believes that she will always be liked by Marin's side. The backer is as far away as Qiu Ju in her imagination.

What she didn't expect was that the smooth life would undergo unexpected changes, first the marshal was blown up by the Japanese on the two-hole bridge in Huanggutun, and then the Japanese soldiers shot at the Northeast Army in Beidaying, opening the first page of the "September 18" incident. When the Northeast Army was transferred to Guannei, she returned to Gushantun with Ma Lin. Yang Mei felt that all this was temporary, and after the wind and waves calmed down, she would go back to Fengtian with Marin to live the old days.

The affairs of the backer Tun Ma's family are far away from her, just a few mustaches, and Ma Lin will solve them without a cigarette, and Yang Mei doesn't take all this to heart.
