The sun is setting and the sky is getting dark.

In the Taoist Hall of Fuxi Hall, Mao Xiaofang, Sha Chen, and Ren Tingting were having dinner, and Sha Chen said to Mao Xiaofang while serving Ren Tingting vegetables: "Master, it's getting dark, let's call the senior brother and the second senior brother back, it's not safe to spend the night outside." ”

"Hmph, two things that are not enough to succeed and more than to fail, they should be allowed to reflect on themselves." Mao Xiaofang snorted coldly, but he didn't let go.

"Master, aren't you worried that Ah Xiu will come to trouble again?"

"That's their business."

Looking at Mao Xiaofang, who was not smiling, Shachen shook his head, and did not continue to persuade, the master was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, maybe he would go to see the two of them after eating.

After a little silence, he changed the topic and said, "Master, Tingting and I plan to buy a house in Gantian Town and move out to live in ......"

"There are so many empty rooms in Fuxi Hall, what are you moving out for?" Mao Xiaofang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Ren Tingting, who bowed her head and didn't speak, and then looked at Shachen, and a trace of realization rose in her heart, "Well, the Ren family of the Sha family is a wealthy family, and there are many people and many things, it is indeed inconvenient for you to stay in Fuxi Hall, are you optimistic about the house?" Do you need help with the teacher? ”

"I'm already optimistic, it's just across the street from Mr. Jin's antique shop."

"Hey, that's a shop, right?" Mao Xiaofang asked with a surprised face.

Shachen nodded, and said with a smile: "The Sha family has a house in Renjia Town, and Tingting's villa is still empty, there is no need to be extravagant and wasteful, I plan to open a rice shop in Gantian Town, and change the shop, sell rice in front, and live in a small courtyard in the back, there is a place to stand, and it is convenient for Tingting to come over." ”

"Well, since you have a plan, let's do it." Mao Xiaofang nodded and said.

"Yes, Master."

After dinner, Ren Tingting cleaned up the mess very virtuously, and brought a food box from the kitchen, packed up the rest of the meal, and prepared to give it to Ma Xiaohai and Yu Dachu to eat.

When Mao Xiaofang saw this scene, he was relieved and praised: "Ah Chen, you are really blessed to meet such a good child as Tingting!" ”

"Master Mao, I'm lucky to meet Brother Chen." Hearing this, Ren Tingting's eyes overflowed with indissoluble tenderness and sweetness, and she looked at Shachen and said.

Forcibly fed a mouthful of dog food, Mao Xiaofang rolled his eyes wildly, and quipped: "Tingting, you and Ah Chen have made a marriage contract since they were young, and they are in love, they can already be regarded as a family, Ah Chen is my apprentice, you are my apprentice's fiancée, why are you still called Master Mao, the same as Ah Chen, change your name to Master." ”

"Master......"

"Master!"

Ren Tingting shouted obediently, Mao Xiaofang was just about to speak, when he saw Ma Xiaohai and Yu Dachu hurriedly running into the hall, his face sank, and he didn't reprimand him yet, only heard Yu Dachu say urgently: "Master, something is wrong, the dragon vein tree has worms." ”

"What?"

Mao Xiaofang and Shachen were startled and stood up one after another.

……

It was dark and the wind was blowing.

The sound of hurried footsteps poured into Gantian Town, and went straight to the Zhang family ancestral hall, and it was a team of soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition.

The soldiers rudely smashed open the door of the ancestral hall and rushed in, and several elders who were worshipping the dead were taken aback, got up from the futon, and looked at the two officers who stepped forward with frightened expressions.

One of the officers stood up and asked aloud, "Who is the biggest of you here?" Get out of here and talk back. ”

An old man in a silver robe stood up tremblingly and replied respectfully, "I am, I am the most senior here." ”

The officer continued: "I am Adjutant Xu of the Shaanxi Army of the 23rd Route Army, and this is our Commander Chen. ”

"Commander Chen, Adjutant Xu! Is there anything you have come to do? ”

Commander Chen glanced at the old man and said in an unquestioning tone, "I want your genealogy. ”

"Genealogy ......"

Everyone was taken aback, genealogy is an extremely important thing for a family, how can it be easily given to people, when even an old man said: "I'm sorry, genealogy can't be ......"

"Shut up."

Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Commander Chen scolded sharply, and threatened with a cold face: "Take it out immediately, otherwise I will engage in your military justice and shoot you on the spot." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll get it."

The old man took out the family tree from under the yellow cloth of the incense case, his expression was hesitant, Chen Jun strode forward, snatched the family tree from the old man's hand, and walked away, leaving only a few old men sighing.

"What the hell is this, they took the genealogy away."

"They don't know what to do with the genealogy?"

"Hey, what's the matter, people are so together?"

At this time, the police captain Song Zilong and the police officer Zhou Sanyuan came over, and several old men suddenly had a backbone, and surrounded Song Zilong and said loudly: "Captain Song, you have to help, hundreds of soldiers have just come and snatched away the family tree, this is our lifeline, we must find a way to get it back." ”

"Soldier?" Song Zilong asked in confusion.

"It is said that he is the adjutant and commander of the Shaanxi Army of the 23rd Route Army......"

"Sanyuan, follow me."

Gantian Town is located in a remote area, there are few soldiers and chaos, and the army calling itself the Shaanxi Army suddenly appeared, which made Song Zilong's heart shrouded in a shadow, and he always felt that something was wrong, so he hurried back to the police department with Wednesday Yuan, called his father Song Xueliang, and came to the hotel together.

That Commander Chen got Adjutant Xu's advice and asked Song Zilong, Song Xueliang, and Zhou Zhouyuan to enter the house to speak, and before the three of them could speak, Commander Chen reprimanded sharply: "You came just in time, whether the men in your town are men or not, you look at the family tree, a family can give birth to a maximum of two, and a maximum of four in that family, two of which are still daughters, what's going on?" ”

Song Zilong, who was originally a teacher to ask for the guilt, was all stunned, you look at me, I look at you, at a loss, the corners of Chen Junchang's mouth curled slightly, and he continued to lecture: "No wonder China is weak, and it is beaten by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and I can't find a man to come out and do things." ”

"Commander Chen, what do you mean......" Song Zilong stopped talking, and he couldn't figure out the purpose of these people's coming.

Commander Chen said: "We came to Gantian Town this time to find you strong men."

Wednesday Yuan exclaimed: "Go to war? ”

"Can you? You see, your little belly is bulging out, and when you go to the battlefield, you can't run, and you are waiting to be shot. To tell you the truth, in the early years of the war, the enemy planted a lot of bombs under Gantian Town, and we got the news and rushed over to help you with the bombs, but we were short of manpower and wanted to draw Ding from Gantian Town to help. Commander Chen said half-truthfully.

"Bombs? Haven't heard of it! ”

Although Song Zilong was stunned by Commander Chen, his mind was still sober and he had doubts, but he did not say it explicitly, secretly thinking that Commander Chen's purpose would never be so simple, and just about to speak, Commander Chen ordered: "Starting tomorrow, the people from your police department will come over to help recruit strong men, process them day and night, and you must clean up the bomb as soon as possible, understand?" ”

The official university crushed people to death, and Song Zilong had no room to refuse, so he was invited out to the hotel by Commander Chen, and the more Song Zilong thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and rushed to Fuxi Hall overnight.

Hearing that an army had been stationed in Gantian Town to clean up the bombs, the vague memory of the dust gradually became clear, and he muttered in a low voice: "Is the tomb of Cixi about to see the light of day again?" ”
