[039] Dusty past
The old man's name is easy to remember! Han Xiufeng! He is a portrayal of the sunset, 'the most beautiful but the sunset red,' which is used as a metaphor for the old people. They had many stories that they saw with their eyes and heard with their ears settled in his heart. It's like a jar of grown-up wine, sweet and sweet.
Han Xiufeng has missing teeth and back ears, but his eyes are fine. The sunken eye sockets, the very spiritual eyeballs, the sparkling brilliance, and the complex intertwined expressions on the face. trembling his lips, which were a little unable to hold the wind, sighed and took a sip of Xiao Ming's tea water, telling his story about Dead Water Bay.
He was a porter and he worked for many people of different statuses. At that time, the world was in an uproar, and I didn't know which team was the team of the common people.
Dead Water Bay was unnoticeable in the past, but later a couple came to take the elderly and children to settle here. Dead Water Bay is a little angry, when they go out early and return late, the husband and wife are inseparable, go out together, and come back together.
Han Xiufeng is telling the prelude to the story of the chaste martyr. After he told this story, he also confirmed that the legend here is not groundless, but well-founded.
Just when the couple and Hemei were living an ordinary life, an unexpected tragedy occurred.
He was found by a team halfway through and asked to help them lead their horses. This team could not distinguish the size of the official position, and all of them wore red cloth five-pointed star octagonal hats and coarse gray military uniforms wearing red cloth collar badges.
What distinguishes this team from the rest of the team is that they like to sleep on the floor and under the eaves. Don't disturb the people, don't take a stitch from the masses, and always look very kind to people.
Han Xiufeng just does some very easy work, walking horses, mowing grass, and can have three or two meals of wild vegetables and porridge a day, and he is full! The bitterness is a little bitter, but it is very fulfilling, and the officers and soldiers of this team call him like a relative.
Especially an older man with a very dignified appearance, who kept calling him brother.
On this day, the troops were notified and ordered to pursue a small group of routs fleeing from the north. Therefore, he temporarily changed his work and rest time, cooked in advance, and prepared for the work of pursuing the routed soldiers, hoping to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Han Xiufeng is a progressive young man, he wants to be a man who stands up to the sky, and he wants to kill the enemy with them. The cadre was very observant of people, and when he knew what he was thinking, he assigned a squad leader to teach him to shoot.
The squad leader is a well-known sharpshooter in the team and sends a high school bull's-eye. The bullseye is like the heart of the enemy, and looking at the squad leader's marksmanship, it is really exciting. Just as the party was about to set off, they received another urgent task of 100,000 to rescue another allied unit.
It was important to pursue the router, but it was also important for the Allies to need them to come to their rescue. But with such a small number of people, how can they be divided into two groups to fight the enemy? The cadres were so anxious that their lips were blistering, and they didn't come up with a comprehensive solution.
After Han Xiufeng knew about this situation, he hurriedly recommended himself: "I'll go!" ”
"You're going?" The cadre stared at him strangely, not knowing what he meant by going.
He held back for a long time, then plucked up his courage again and said, "I'll go after the enemy." ”
"You!" The sharpshooter squad leader, looking at him with a look of wanting to laugh. There is a clear look in the eyes, a look of disbelief.
"If I can do it, believe in me once."
Looking at this stubborn man, he looked so serious, and insisted on pursuing the rout. The squad leader and the cadres immediately reached a consensus and decided to entrust him with this sacred and arduous task.
Han Xiufeng's weapons are a barge gun and a horse. When he came to Dead Water, he saw only the peace of the lake, and there was no living person in a house near the lake.
There was blood on the ground, and he searched for it, and saw two freshly piled tombs. As you can imagine, he should know what's going on here.
Just as the team was on another mission, a tragedy occurred here. I don't know who the tomb is built for, and I don't know if the people in the tomb are men or women? Han Xiufeng immediately cut down some trees and bamboos nearby, temporarily tied a raft, and put it into the water to support the side of the lake.
Simple ideas, but hard to do. The raft was lowered into the water and propped up to the middle of the lake, the area with reeds. The sky became very abnormal, the sky was dark, and he, who had never believed in evil, still tried his best to hold on to the penny, moving little by little to approach the other side.
After the sky was dark, the downpour fell to obscure the sky. This time he really couldn't move forward, and the raft spun around in place. Under Monet, he had no choice but to return to the shore by the same route, only to wait for the rain to pass and the sky would clear before continuing to see.
The rain is a few days and nights, and it seems to be a sign of high tide. Sure enough, in the days that followed, the lake was at high tide, flooding the nearby flatlands and submerging some plants.
Han Xiufeng ran out of ideas for a while, thinking of cutting the iron in front of the squad leader and the cadre. He felt guilty and blamed himself. Finally, when the tide receded, he finally harnessed the raft to the other shore of the lake.
However, I found that there was no one on the island, but there were traces left by human beings who lived here. The strangest thing is that the branches that appear to be newly planted have strange words posted on them.
He was not willing to return empty-handed, so he searched everywhere, but saw no one except some fragments of tattered clothes. What about people? Count how to say that there are several of them in this handful of routs! At least ten or more, in just a dozen days, where will they go? Could it be that the golden cicada broke its shell and went down to the lake from another position?
Han Xiufeng felt that things were too strange, he vigilantly searched the mountains and forests one by one, drilled when he saw the forest, and picked up the grass to see. It was not until he ran to the other side of the island that he found that it was a cliff that could not be slipped down to the lake.
Seeing that it was not early, he didn't dare to linger, and had to leave this seemingly eerie island in a hurry.
"You mean, those routs just disappeared for some reason?"
Old man Han Xiufeng nodded and said, "Yes!" I've been living here ever since, just to find out the truth about it, and I've been staying here for the rest of my life. Most of the people here have the surname Han, haha! Not all of them are my children and grandchildren, but they also have foreign surnames. ”
"Old man, you're so blessed." Zhiqing said with a heartfelt smile.
"Alas! My wife is a deserter, seeing that her ass is big, she will definitely be able to give birth to a baby, so I married her, hey, not to mention, I gave birth to several belts. ”
"Old man Han, then my ancestor also fled from the famine?" Li Laoqi quipped.
Old Man Han may be a little smooth, this time he listened to all of Li Laoqi's words. "It's not a desert escape, do you think it's a relative of the emperor? Haha, your mother almost met Hades when she gave birth to you, and thanks to the delivery of her wife, you have this dog thing. Ha ha! The old man's witty and funny words caused everyone to laugh in an uproar, which was really funny.
