Chapter 281: The Most Dangerous Siege
The scale of the courtyard is not large, plus the courtyard, it is only about a hundred square meters, what makes Li Changjing feel strange is that there are four or five people guarding the courtyard, and when he saw Xu Huairou approaching, he shouted "Hello Miss" in unison, and silently retreated to the side.
Entering the courtyard, Xu Huairou walked straight to the one-story square wooden house, and skillfully took out the key to open the door.
Li Changjing observed carefully and found that this wooden house was locked from the outside, so there should be no one living inside.
Sure enough, after Xu Huairou opened the door, it was empty, she fumbled and pressed a switch next to it, and the dim room immediately lit up.
With just one glance, Li Changjing's eyes widened in shock.
Because he saw a yellowed black-and-white photograph on a table directly opposite the doorway, and there were four people in the picture, and the one in the middle was himself!
"Don't show such a big reaction, the person in the photo is not you, but your grandfather." Xu Huairou pursed her lips and hummed.
"My grandfather?" Li Changjing's brows were furrowed, even more strange.
"I used to hear my dad say that my grandfather died when he was very young, and there are no pictures of him at home, so I never knew what my grandfather looked like." Li Changjing came to Xu Huairou's side, looked carefully at this group photo, and found that a date was written in the lower left corner: August 1, 42, which proved that this photo was taken more than 70 years ago.
Li Changjing looked at it silently and found that there were four people in the photo, the first one on his left hand was a man with glasses, very young, thin and weak, with his hair parted in the middle, wearing suspenders, and looking like an intellectual.
"This person's name is Du Jianguo, he is the eldest young master of the Du family, the first family in Daye City, and he also has a younger sister named Du Xiaomin." Xu Huairou pointed to the man with glasses and said.
Li Changjing sighed and pointed to a tall man on the far right, "This is your grandfather, right?" ”
Xu Huairou nodded slightly, "That's right, his name is Xu Yang, and he is my grandfather." ”
Li Changjing's heart was greatly shaken, and he pointed to a young woman with two pigtails under his portrait, and said in surprise: "This is Huo Qingrou?" ”
"No, this is the third lady's grandmother, Huo Xiuxian, that is, Mrs. Huo."
"This is Mrs. Huo? It's too similar, isn't it? Li Changjing was even more surprised, "How can it be so similar, it's exactly the same." ”
Xu Huairou glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "Do you still have the face to say, doesn't your grandfather look exactly like you?" ”
Li Changjing choked for a moment, not knowing how to refute for a while.
"Actually, you don't need to make a fuss, this phenomenon is medically called intergenerational inheritance." Xu Huairou said softly: "I brought you here to let you know what happened in Daye City back then, as well as the story between your grandfather and my grandfather." ”
Li Changjing's expression was a little serious, and he listened to her silently.
"The four people in the photo used to study in the same school and later went to the front together, so they are very affectionate revolutionary partners."
"Du Jianguo's family is very rich, he is the richest man in Daye City at the beginning, he has a lot of money, and he especially likes Mrs. Huo, but Mrs. Huo likes you to fall in love with your grandfather."
"It's bloody." Li Changjing frowned when he heard this.
"Don't interrupt." Xu Huairou kicked him angrily.
"After that, the war continued to Daye City, and all the people in the city volunteered to take up arms and prepare to fight the enemy, but the conditions were backward at that time, except for the Du family, all the families were very poor and could not afford to buy weapons at all."
"So my grandfather hit the Du family with the idea."
"He used some tricks to trick your grandfather into sleeping with Du Xiaomin, and the two naturally got together."
"In this way, my grandfather has an excuse to match Mrs. Huo and Du Jianguo, he first deceived Du Jianguo, and lied to him that Mrs. Huo actually likes him, but asked him to pay a large sum of money as a gift money to show sincerity, Du Jianguo is very infatuated with Mrs. Huo, and he was fooled as soon as his brain was hot, and he took out most of the family's money."
"As a result, you should also guess, my grandfather took this money to buy weapons for the people in the city, but the Du family went bankrupt because of this, and then the matter was revealed, Du Jianguo found someone to find my grandfather to settle accounts, but although my grandfather was not rich at that time, he was also considered the number one household in the city, plus the people's desire, the people in the city supported him, so after the Xu and Du families turned against each other, they experienced more than ten conflicts, each time the Du family failed, as the so-called mountain can not accommodate two tigers, my grandfather knows this truth, Therefore, he used very tough means to drive the Du family out of Daye City. ”
"Your grandfather is such a wicked man." Li Changjing sighed: "But at the same time, your grandfather is also a self-sacrificing person. ”
Xu Huairou snorted, "Although my grandfather betrayed his brother, he bought weapons with the money, giving everyone a confidence to fight against the enemy, although later Daye City was defended because your grandfather was alone and the main force of the enemy died together, but in the face of righteousness, my grandfather is tenable, so in the following decades, he has not regretted it, but he only feels that he owes it to your grandfather, so he decided that I and your baby kiss, want to make up for it." ”
"I see." Li Changjing suddenly realized, he had heard his father say that after his grandfather died, his grandmother also died soon after, and it seemed that he did not die, but moved out of Daye City with the Du family and went to the far northwest to take root.
Unexpectedly, his grandmother turned out to be the Du family, so he has some relatives with Du Ruolin in it?
However, Li Changjing is not very concerned about this, he has never even seen his grandmother in person, so he doesn't have much emotion in it.
People are like this, the relationship accumulated by the older generation is difficult to maintain to the next generation, otherwise the Xu family will not miss the old love at the beginning, and cancel his and Xu Huairou's baby kiss in a grand manner.
Li Changjing looked around and found that there were many old things in this room, such as some military kettles, old military uniforms, military hats, as well as worn straw sandals, straw mats, and so on.
It seems that this is a place used to seal the memories of the older generation.
After listening to the story, Li Changjing roughly understood the source of the grievances between the Du and Xu families, and he did not express any opinion on this, because from the perspective of a normal person, it is reasonable for the Du family to resent the Xu family, but in the face of moral righteousness, Xu Huairou and her grandfather also focus on the overall situation, and they can't condemn it at all.
After leaving the courtyard, Li Changjing looked at the time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, so he hurriedly left the Xu family, ready to go back to discuss with Lu Li how the next plan should be carried out.
But just after leaving Xu's house, when he walked through a relatively remote section, Li Changjing seemed to feel something, Huo Ran lowered his head, and he could dodge a stabbing long sword.
He quickly took a few steps back and looked back.
Good guys, one, two, three, four...... Behind him, there were five half-step immortal masters, who were looking at him with gloomy eyes.
