Chapter 53: It's She, Not She 2

When Yan Wenbin was three years old, there was a natural disaster in his hometown, and the crops were not harvested.

At that time, Gang Wenbin's grandfather was captured by the great warlord Sun Dianying and stole the tomb of the Empress Dowager Cixi, leaving Gang Wenbin's mother and Gang Wenbin's uncle in the family.

Famine and plague broke out, in order to prevent the outbreak of the plague, the warlord sent troops to surround the disaster area, in order to prevent the people inside from spreading the plague, and at the same time, in order to effectively control the disaster, prepared to starve to death millions of people in the disaster area.

Originally, the warlords wanted to exterminate all the refugees in the disaster area, but in the end, because of the limited military spending, they could only surround the disaster area and let the people inside fend for themselves.

Every family had no food, the grass roots and bark that could be eaten on the mountain were eaten, and some people even ate cotton and Guanyin soil to resist hunger, and in the end, many people could not survive and were starved to death.

Seeing that Yan Wenbin and Leng Bingyan were both infected with the plague, the people in the village thought that the natural disaster was caused by Yan Wenbin, because when Yan Wenbin was born, his grandmother died, and his father was also dead, and the people in the village said that Yan Wenbin killed his grandmother and father, which was a disaster, and the villagers were bewitched and wanted to kill Yan Wenbin, who was only three years old at the time.

Originally, Gang Wenbin was born and was thrown by the villagers to the wilderness to feed the wolves, but a she-wolf fed Gang Wenbin with her own milk, and later Gang Wenbin was picked up by an old Taoist priest, who later passed on all the Taoist skills to Gang Wenbin's uncle, who was three years old and lay in the coffin every night, until he was eighteen years old, he did not enter the coffin.

When Leng Bingyan died, Gang Wenbin hugged Leng Bingyan's body and cried for three days, and then Gang Wenbin was used by his uncle to erase all the memories before the age of three, and buried Leng Bingyan next to the ancestral grave of the Gang family.

"Uncle, it's really me, I'm Leng Bingyan, I was originally infected with the plague and died when I was three years old, but before I died, you buried me, grandpa appeared and dug me out, the reason why I faked my death was because grandpa took medicine for me in advance, I could hear Xiaogang hugging me crying, but I couldn't speak."

"After you buried me, my grandfather dug me out and let the old Taoist priest take me away, and then the old Taoist priest gave me to a big official, and I went to join the army when I grew up, I am really Leng Bingyan, uncle, look at this, Leng Bingyan took off the red thread hanging on his neck, and there was a piece of phoenix jade hanging under the red line, and the jade pendant was still hundreds of years old, and it was brought to Leng Bingyan by Yan Wenbin's grandmother back then."

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the former government was powerless, and the Eight-Nation Coalition divided the land at that time, and the Eight-Nation Coalition burned and looted everywhere, and the people could only be forced to accept all the disasters brought by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Later, a civil riot broke out, and the Boxers took the opportunity to resist the attack of the Eight-Nation Alliance, but the Empress Dowager Cixi continued to cede land and pay compensation in order not to offend the Eight-Nation Alliance, and at the same time ordered the extermination of the Boxers.

Gang Wenbin's family was originally one of the thieves, the family had ancestors passed down the tomb robbery technique of the previous year, his grandfather in order to avoid being regarded as a Boxer by the government, he took his family to Guizhou, to the then layer of the post to settle down.

At that time, the Leng family was now a famous big family in Xiaojichang Town, in order to choose a suitable place for the family to build the family ancestral hall, let Gang Wenbin's grandfather come forward, at that time Gang Wenbin's grandfather was a famous feng shui master, and several surrounding towns knew it.

Later, Yan Wenbin's grandfather came forward, and after the Leng family built the ancestral hall, the family business was very prosperous in those years, and it took almost less than two years to become a famous family in several towns at that time.

Yan Wenbin has not yet been born, Leng Bingyan's grandfather, and Yan Wenbin's grandfather will still be in the stomach of the two fingers for marriage, but later Yuan Shikai died, the Beiyang government split into warlords, a few years, warlords all over the country rose around, secession of the country.

The central government lost control of the local warlords, the warlords' power continued to expand, the warlords of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan continued to fight, and the family business of the Leng family was also taken away by the warlords, and the warlords also killed the Leng family, but Leng Bingyan, who was still in infancy, was quietly taken away by Yan Wenbin's grandfather and raised until he was three years old.

Later, natural disasters and plagues broke out in Guizhou, and the two of them were infected with the plague at the same time that year, and in the end, Yan Wenbin survived, while Leng Bingyan was buried by his uncle when he thought he was dead.

But Yan Wenbin's grandfather dug up Leng Bingyan and let the old Taoist priest take it away, because the Leng family couldn't afford to raise two children, and the only way was to sell Leng Bingyan for the price of three bags of millet and raise Yan Wenbin.

"You are Xiao Yan'er, uncle is sorry for you", Uncle Yan Wenbin looked at Leng Bingyan with tears in his eyes, in order not to let his tears flow out, Uncle Yan Wenbin looked up at the vault, he didn't want to cry again, because his tears had been shed twenty-three years ago.

"Uncle, don't tell Xiao Yan, otherwise it will be dangerous for him, and when the time is right, I will go back to see you and my mother", Leng Bingyan said and looked anxiously at Yan Wenbin, who was sitting on the edge of the fire.

"Grandpa knew that I was still alive, so he often ran to see me, but grandpa hid in the dark every time, and didn't dare to come out to face me, maybe grandpa sold me with three bags of millet back then, and he never dared to see me, but I understand grandpa's distress."

"At that time, uncle, you were hungry to eat cotton, but you gave me and Xiaogang the only chaff that could be eaten at home, but that year there was a natural disaster, there was no grain at home, you wanted to marry your aunt, but your aunt's family asked for a bag of millet, and finally grandpa sent millet, and my aunt came to my house."

"Later, in order to support the family, my grandfather could only follow the warlords to rob the tomb in exchange for food to support the family, I know all this, although my grandfather is poor, but every time he goes to see me, he gives me a lot of new clothes, so many years my grandfather has refused to see me, but he has been secretly paying attention to me."

"Later, my adoptive father and adoptive mother died, and my grandfather sent me to be a soldier, and my grandfather knew that I would go to the army at least I would not starve to death, and my chief also had a daughter at home, who was as old as me, but was killed by a bomb, and the chief raised me as a daughter, but I have been Xiaogang's daughter-in-law since I was a child, and I will not regret this."

"Uncle, in fact, the third grandfather Guang is my third grandfather, he has been attacking you for so many years, it is because my grandfather sold me back then, my third grandfather has a grudge against my grandfather, so he has been embarrassing you and Xiao Gang, but now my third grandfather already knows everything, he already knows that he is wrong, in order to find Xiao Gang, he has been letting his subordinates find the whereabouts of the Yan family."

"Back then, Lao Hu's grandfather wanted to snatch me away to Lao Hu as a child daughter-in-law, but my grandfather sent me away, so after my third grandfather knew, he led someone to destroy Lao Hu's family, arrested Lao Hu's grandfather, and occupied the property of Lao Hu's family, but I have asked my third grandfather to put Lao Hu's grandfather back, and everything back then will let it disappear with the wind."

"Now I'm very happy to see you and Xiao, grandpa will come back this year, I have already taken grandpa's deed of sale back, warlord Liu doesn't dare to do anything to grandpa, or I will blow up his marshal's mansion."

"Xiao Yan'er, forgive my uncle's helplessness, in fact, my uncle also knows grandpa's plans, my grandfather and I will join forces to stage a play, hide from Lao Hu's grandfather, otherwise Lao Hu's grandfather will not grow up with you and Xiao Gang, this is also a last resort, otherwise Xiao Gang will die, or you will die."

"Back then, Lao Hu's grandfather was ruthless, not only robbed all the family's property, but also tricked the villagers into burning the Yan family, and your third master also fell into the grass that year, and has been looking for the Hu family and the Yan family for so many years."

"Uncle, I know when Xiao Yan will wake up", Leng Bingyan looked at Yan Wenbin and still didn't open his eyes.

"It won't be long before he wakes up", Uncle Yan Wenbin sat next to him and closed his eyes, but the injury was very serious, and sometimes the corners of Uncle Yan Wenbin's mouth were trembling in pain, but he could only grit his teeth and insist.

And after Lao Hu knew everything, he sat next to him silently and didn't speak, he also knew that his grandfather was a landlord, but he didn't expect his grandfather to be so ruthless, forcing the Gang family to sell Leng Bingyan, but Gang Wenbin has always regarded him as a brother, when Lao Hu's grandfather was arrested, Xiao Gang and the bandits started, and they were almost killed, but the Gang family forced by his grandfather was almost ruined, and it was indeed ruthless enough.

Now Lao Hu finally understands why the bandit leader Guang Sanye saw Gang Wenbin and always asked his subordinates not to hurt Gang Wenbin and embarrass the Gang family, it turned out that Xiao Gang was the grandson-in-law of Guang Sanye, if Xiao Gang hadn't appeared, Lao Hu and his grandfather would have been killed by Guang Sanye.

"Lao Hu, don't be sad, that's a bad thing your grandfather did, and your grandfather has regretted it for so many years, so you have played very well with Xiaogang since you were a child, the two of you wear a pair of pants, your grandfather asked you to follow Xiaogang, just to make up for his mistakes back then, your grandfather has gone home, and my third grandfather will not look for your family's bad luck."

"If my grandfather had done that, I would have stopped it", Lao Hu didn't dare to look at his cold eyes.

"At that time, you were only more than ten years old, you don't know anything, if you resist, your grandfather didn't tie you up and hang you at the gate of the ancestral hall and beat you half to death, it's all over, don't remember it, just now you desperately moved forward to Xiaogang, I see it in my eyes, don't remember everything in the past, otherwise you will be sad", although Leng Bingyan's childhood was very unfortunate, but compared to Yan Wenbin, she was much better.

Although unfortunate, they were able to eat enough, but Lao Hu and Yan Wenbin were forced by their third grandfather to eat Guanyin soil, and they often couldn't eat, and they didn't know how the two survived.

The torrential rain outside is getting bigger and bigger, and the surging river is like an unrestrained dragon, which is about to destroy thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, or it won't be long before the small valley will be flooded.

Half an hour later, Yan Wenbin woke up, and when he saw his uncle still with his eyes closed next to the fire, he wondered why he fainted when he walked up the steps, because he had forgotten everything that had just happened.
