After sending the old lady and the fifth and seventh old, the old landlord Wang was like a changed person, especially polite to everyone, no longer like before, the same for Caiyun, especially for the children of the old nine, like a baby, in the second month when the old nine were arrested, the old landlord Wang did something that made the people in the village excited.
He divided his family's land among the people of the village according to the population, leaving only a few acres for himself, and began to support himself.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, the fields handed down by our Wang family from our ancestors will be distributed to everyone today, our Wang family has always had a high reputation, but in my hands, it has attracted all infamy, I don't want you to forgive me, I just want to accumulate some virtue, let our Wang family boys, return safely, get to today's step of the field, it is all my sin, this is retribution, retribution!" As the old landlord said, he knelt down in front of everyone.
"One will be according to the population of the family, go to the housekeeper to register, and then the housekeeper will divide the land for you according to the population, and the land will be yours, and you will not be charged a penny of rent, including the title deed, and it will also be given to you, these years, these years, the exploitation and cruelty of the old folks, I, the fourth king, say sorry to everyone!"
The whole village is here, but at this time it is not ordinary quiet, everyone stands quietly, no one has gone to register, they are all thinking about what the old landlord is crazy about, it must not be the division of land, thinking that it is playing some tricks.
A person in tattered clothes in the crowd, the first to walk to the housekeeper, after registration, received a wooden card, stood aside, with the first, there is a second, after a while everyone passed, after the registration, after a period of the housekeeper's abacus rolling, the first to call the name, got a land deed, everyone knows, Wang Lao landlord is really to give everyone the land.
The whole process of dividing the land lasted for half a day, and during this time, the old landlord Wang had been kneeling there, not knowing whether no one saw it, or pretended not to see it, no one went over to help him up, everyone surrounded the housekeeper's territory, or exchanged heads and ears together.
After getting a land deed, several elders in the village found that the old landlord Wang was still kneeling there, already crumbling, so they hurriedly ran over and helped the old landlord Wang to the chair and sat down.
After that, the village all saw, the old landlord Wang and the queen mother in front of the plow, Caiyun carrying the child in the back of the plow, the three of them are now the same as everyone in the village, all covered with mud, the old landlord Wang is no longer the old landlord in bright clothes, the village people also launched, all ran to help them, no one in the village called him Wang Lao landlord or Wang Lao Ye anymore, no one scolded him, all changed their mouths to call him the fourth master.
This year's bumper harvest, the grain yard into a bolt, many people take the initiative to pay rent to the fourth master, but the fourth master does not accept at all, the people in the village have basically begun to slowly embark on the road of wealth, the family has a grain stock, and Wangjiaping Village, also passed on to the village into a good story, the spring of the second year, the village people spontaneously organized, for the four masters to set up a statue, the whole village began to worship, and then built a house and a yard for this statue, named "Four Masters Temple".
But within a few years, the fourth master and the queen mother passed away one after another, the time of the fourth master's death was the eighteenth day of the first month, he died with a smile, although there was no son around, but the whole village participated in their funeral, the eighteenth day of the first month of each year, was set as the festival of welcoming the gods, all the people in the village, all carried the statue of the fourth master to carnival, singing and singing for a week.
On New Year's Day in 1942, that is, when Lao Jiu was arrested, they were pulled to Henan by a truck and belonged to Commander Tang's subordinates, but they were lucky enough to be placed in the cooking class, and their squad leader was named Li Genzi.
This squad leader is more mysterious, when he chops vegetables, the two kitchen knives play like big knives, so many people let him teach knife skills, because this knife method can kill people.
When Lao Jiu and they first arrived at the army, in order to prevent them from escaping, the troops were not allowed to wear pants when they slept at night.
"Old squad leader, are you watching the sky at night again? Is there anything out of the ordinary going to happen? The madman joked, startling the squad leader, these people are Lao Jiu, the turtle, the madman, the horse rack, the monkey and the dove.
Sun Monkey's name is Sun Dongsheng, he climbs trees very fast, no matter how big a book, he can climb up, everyone calls him Sun Monkey, four catties, it is called four catties, people are very thin, like eight hundred years without eating, I heard him say that he was born prematurely, and he was four catties when he was just born, so the name is directly called four catties.
"You cubs, why don't you sleep and run out? When did you come along? The squad leader put away the compass in his hand and said.
"Squad leader, we followed when you came out, I'm afraid you will meet the devil soldiers!" , the monkey said and raised the two kitchen knives in his hand, there were no guns in the cooking class.
"The tengu eclipse day three months ago made me feel very abnormal, this is for something bad to happen, but every time I walk here, the compass doesn't react, the front is the enemy-occupied area, I can't go over anymore, you guys, you are most interested in my Li family's knife technique, how did you learn!"
"Lao Jiu is the fastest, the big radish peels the cabbage flower, it only takes 30 seconds, and the average knife speed is 12 knives per second!" The madman said proudly, as if that person was him.
"What about you? Did you break through for a minute? The squad leader asked with a look of triumph.
"Squad leader, I'm already fifty seconds old, can you not keep looking at me with such eyes!"
"Good! The worst is fifty seconds, so are you afraid of death? ", the squad leader suddenly said with a serious expression.
"I'm afraid!" , the madman said it without even thinking about it.
"I'm afraid you'll come out with you!" , the squad leader showed a disappointed expression on his face, and he was about to pack up his things and go back.
"Only those who are afraid of death will find a way to survive, and those who are not afraid of death will die!"
"Poof!" Everyone was amused by the madman's words.
This sentence is said to be level, those who are afraid of death will survive, then they will have more brains in the future, and they must live no matter what! Now, if you're interested, follow me to do something! ”
"What's the matter?"
"Into enemy-occupied territory! I want to find out if my compass is out of order, dare to go! ”
"The squad leader is here, what don't you dare to go!"
Next, the squad leader took a few of us, slowly crawled all the way, about a distance of about a thousand meters, and stopped next to a small earthen bag, and you could see the ghost soldiers and the gun tower from a distance.
"Squad leader, squad leader!" , Sun Monkey screamed to everyone.
Everyone hurriedly and slowly climbed to the side of the monkey, and saw that in a gutter-like place, there were many corpses, and the smell that wafted up could stink a pig to death, the most incredible thing, these corpses were dragged out by a thing that could not see what it was, from a small hole that only one person could crawl through.
