Slaying the dragon and breaking the vein Chapter 7 The Lin family

We sat around the girl, because the flashlight was getting darker and darker, Zeng Weiguo ordered the second master to find something to burn, the second master did not say a word and entered the room that locked me, I was about to tell him that there were dead people inside, I heard the sound of ping-pong, and after a while a table and a few stools were dismantled and hugged out, the fire on the ground slowly burned at the same time, he tore our gowns into strips, Li Xiao glanced at it and threw the gown over, poured a little kerosene, tied it into several torches, and put two in each person's bag.

On the fire, the second master and I both paid attention to the little black burden on the girl's back, Zeng Weiguo picked up the black iron rod that was kicked to the side and looked at it carefully, Li Xiao checked the girl's situation from time to time on the side, the second master pointed to the burden and said: "Bulging, alas, did you say there is food in it?" As soon as I heard that there was something to eat, I nodded vigorously, and was about to do it, Zeng Weiguo said: "Don't move, she shouldn't be in the same group as those Japanese", we all looked at Zeng Weiguo when we heard it, he took the iron rod in front of us, by the light of the fire, I found out that this is not an iron rod, or not an ordinary iron rod, I am a little poor in words, I don't know how to describe this thing, in fact, this is a flute, everyone can see it, but no one has ever seen a flute made of iron, And I have never seen this kind of black iron with silver light, the second master took it in his hand and said: "I can't see it, this girl has the strength of her arms, how much strength does it take to blow this flute", Li Xiao took it and said: "This is not normal iron, this should be heavenly iron, that is, an iron meteorite, right?" Captain Zeng", Zeng Weiguo nodded, these people passed on a circle but didn't give it to me, I found that since I entered this cave, I have become more and more worthless, I feel more and more like a burden, thinking of this, I turned around a little angrily, and turned my back to them, in fact, think about it carefully, okay, these people themselves have their own strengths before they were selected, my strengths are just not yet to be displayed, and then I began to think about what my strengths are, running the hall?

Passing the food? Welcome? Sweeping? The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became, and I couldn't help but wonder, why did Zeng Weiguo take great pains to get me into the group?

Why did Li Xiao say that he knew the reason why I was chosen? The more I thought about it, the more I had a headache, so I just waited for a chance to find a chance to ask Zeng Weiguo alone after I went out, and I was thinking about raising my eyes, but I saw that the girl woke up at some point, lying on the ground and staring at me, startling me, and quickly shouted: "Wake up!" The three people who were still studying the flute behind them quickly surrounded them, I helped the girl to sit up, Li Xiao checked it and said: "There should be no problem", and then stood on the side of Zeng Weiguo, who was facing the girl, the second master stood on the girl's left, and I stood behind her to prevent her from untying the rope, except for Zeng Weiguo, all three of them opened the bolt and loaded the bullet just in case, Zeng Weiguo asked: "Who are you?" How did it end up here? The girl glared at him and kept silent, Zeng Weiguo asked again: "Are you Japanese?" After asking, he glanced at Li Xiao, Li Xiao immediately said a bunch of words, the girl still stared at Zeng Weiguo like a clay sculpture, Zeng Weiguo glanced at the second master, the second master walked in front of the girl, crossed his waist and shouted: "Damn, toast and don't eat and drink, you are a woman The second master didn't plan to make a move, it seems that you have to let you see the means of the second master, tell you, the second master doesn't know how many knives in his hands, guns and souls, if you obediently cooperate today, leave you the whole corpse, otherwise, keep it and make you hate yourself for being born from the mother's womb", At first, even I was a little scared to listen, but the second master chattered for a long time, I found that he stood in place and gestured very happily but never dared to take a step closer to the girl, the girl stared at him at this time, he really had nothing to say, and also stared at the girl, the two looked at each other for a while, the second master suddenly squatted in front of the girl, stretched out his hand and pinched her face, my heart said bad, the second master is going to do something wrong, I looked at Zeng Weiguo, only to see him stand up and shout: "Cui Dali!" What are you doing? I saw that the second master didn't hear it, his hand was hard, the girl's mouth opened, the second master stretched out his two fingers and pinched it, as if he had pinched something, and looked at it before he got the firelight, the second master was happy: "Hehe, I'll just say, except for the dumb, how can there be a person who doesn't say a word, there must be something strange, the so-called person title horse bit ring, it turns out to be a Jianghu person", said and showed us the thing in his hand, it was a copper coin with a white jade buckle, Zeng Weiguo looked at it and said: "The best Hetian mutton fat jade, the girl can say it this time, right?" The girl stared at Zeng Weiguo and said: "There's nothing to say, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it, but if you are insulted at all, I, Lin Xiaoxiao, will not let you go", after speaking, she closed her eyes, and the second master took a step forward, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Zeng Weiguo with a gesture, Zeng Weiguo said: "Are you really the Lin family?" The girl opened her eyes and looked at him and nodded, "Do you know Lin Sinian?" The girl was surprised when she heard it and said, "That's my uncle", Zeng Weiguo hurriedly went over to untie the rope and helped Lin Xiaoxin up: "Lin Sinian is my old classmate, why is the Lin family here?" I, the second master and Li Xiao stood stunned and looked at them, and finally Zeng Weiguo turned his head to us and said: "Her eldest Bolin Sinian is my old classmate at Yenching University, I have heard him say the history of the Lin family, this Lin family is a big family, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the head of the style house is the Lei family, because of the special construction of the palace hall, the royal garden, etc., the reputation is outside, the history is called."

"Style Lei", it is said that the style Lei also designed the imperial mausoleum, but the actual style room is not only the Lei family, there is also a Lin family, said that the style Lei designed and built the imperial mausoleum, in fact, they only designed and built the ground building of the mausoleum, and the design and construction of the real underground palace is the Lin family is responsible for, before the Ming and Qing dynasties, all those who participated in the construction of the imperial mausoleum, the day of completion is the time to turn around, in order to prevent leakage of internal secrets, so many craftsmen simply changed careers in order to save their lives and did something else, to the Ming Dynasty, It is said that the Lin family moved from Nanjing to Beijing with Zhu Di during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and has served in the imperial court since then, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Lin family reached an agreement with the Qing court, and the Lin family can continue to work in the style room, but the Qing court must abolish the customary rules for thousands of years like the Ming Dynasty, and the construction craftsmen shall not be killed when buried, The Xinhai Revolution broke out, Xuantong abdicated, the Lin family took advantage of the chaos to run out of Beijing, in order not to attract attention, everyone went their own way, her eldest Bolin Sinian was sent to Europe by his family, and learned that the Qing Dynasty was exhausted, and there was no hope of restoration, before returning to the country, their Lin family in order to meet each other in the future, unified on the elbow position tattooed with a unique pattern of the family, and passed down from generation to generation, just now Li Xiao for her pulse when I saw it, so I am sure she is the Lin family," the second master asked Lin Xiaoxiao: "Then why did you run here?" What do you have to do with those Japanese people? At this time, everyone's eyes looked at her, Lin Xiaoxin: "When everyone went to their own things, I was still young, and I followed my parents to this Gaiping County, I was going to escape the world, who knew that in the 21st year of the Republic of China, Manchukuo was established, Xuantong became the emperor again, in order to keep it secret, the court ordered to hunt down and kill our Lin family everywhere, the year before last my father was tragically poisoned on the way home, since then, my mother is ill, in order to see a doctor, the family has long been surrounded by walls, Western medicine has not given a diagnosis, my mother had to rely on a few pairs of Chinese medicine to maintain, that night I boiled medicine in the house, I heard someone talking outside the window, it should be two people, A said to B: Tomorrow at noon to Chishan, this trip can all point to you, see that something is wrong and quickly report, for a hundred oceans can not take their lives, B asked: Is the Japanese credible? A said: I heard that the Japanese have been optimistic, very good, we are doing coolies this time, don't worry, I heard that there are gold and silver treasures in it, the Japanese also said, they only take one thing, and we can pack as much as we can, and bring a few more sturdy big bags tomorrow. After saying that, the two of them left, I was moved, settled my mother, found out the night clothes left by my father, brought dry food and application things, and overnight I rushed to Chishan, ambushed them in advance, and finally followed them into the mountain, planning to wait for them to leave, I came in to see what there was to pick up, and went back to sell for money", the more I listened, the more surprised I became, and asked: "How come you have night clothes at home?" What did your father do? Zeng Weiguo asked: "What did the Japanese take away?" What do you see? Li Xiao asked: "What is the origin of your iron flute?" Lin Xiao novel: "This flute and jade buckle are my father's relics, this flute is said to be a whole piece of iron forging, my father went in too a hurry, so that I don't know how to use it, those Japanese came in for four or five days, I relied on eating wild fruits to get them out, when I came out, I slept in another small cave so I didn't see it, I only heard a loud noise, in addition to the explosion I also heard something screaming, and the sound was louder than the explosion" I saw that she didn't answer me about my night clothes, and wanted to ask, But I saw the second master holding his arms and smiling at Lin Xiaoxin: "Tuxing Sun is Tuxing Sun, it is estimated that your old man is the same as the second master and me, both of the lower nine streams of the three religions and nine streams, but you rely on the shovel in your hand to eat, I rely on the gun in my hand to eat, the rice bowl is different", I didn't understand, but Lin Xiaoxiao's face was red and white, and he looked at the second master angrily, unable to say a word, Zeng Weiguo coughed and said: "Okay, Lin Xiaoxiao, if your body is not in trouble, you can go back first, we have to continue to go inside", Lin Xiaoxiao: "No, I'm going to go with you, I'm afraid that the things in front of me don't have me, and it's unknown whether you can get out alive"
