Volume 1 Spring Bamboo Shoots Chapter 13 Heroes are also mortal

In my impression, Liangshui Master is the most idle person in our Xinghua Village, even more idle than Liu Yingguo, the secretary of the brigade. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHis family is the only one in our Xinghua Village who doesn't have to work to earn work. The postman would deliver the salary slip to his house on time every month, and he only had to go to the town's post office to collect it. Even the secretary of the commune, Li Xiancai, could not compare to him.

The name of the bright water master is Zeng Fanliang, and his family is originally a kung fu family in the village. His grandfather Zeng Xianchun was the elder of the Zeng family back then, and he was a famous boxer in our area.

We are here in the mountains, and there are strong people from time to time, so the people are fierce. Fang Yuan is dozens of miles away from Zeng, Li, Liu, Tan, Chen five families, mountains and rivers are connected, fields and soil are connected, it is difficult to be a little involved. There is indispensable intrigue between the open and the covert, and weapon fights also occur from time to time. Therefore, every big family has a boxer, Zeng Xianchun has astonished his skills since his debut, and has made great contributions to the safety of the Zeng family, and is the hero of the Zeng family.

Zeng Fanliang learned martial arts with his grandfather since he was a child, and when he left home at the age of seventeen, he joined the People's Liberation Army, experienced the battle of crossing the river, and later participated in the "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea". Along the way, he went from an ordinary teenager to a scout, then a squad leader, a platoon leader, and finally a scout company commander. During this period, he was awarded the third-class merit and the second-class merit many times. Soon after returning from the Korean battlefield, he transferred to the provincial public security bureau and became a section chief.

In 1957, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was successfully opened to traffic, and the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway was completed in its entirety. At that time, several "railway guerrillas" were active along the railway line, and they climbed into wagons to steal goods, and got on passenger trains to steal passengers' property. The Ministry of Public Security has strictly ordered all public security organs along the route to crack down on the arrogance of criminals within a time limit. In the subsequent operations, the public security organs in various localities smashed a number of criminal gangs in one fell swoop and ensured the safe operation of passenger and freight trains along the line.

However, the main members of a gang active along the Southern Railway were not arrested. Soon after, there was a resurgence of the gang, and the gang was tightly organized, with a clear division of labor, and the main members were all skilled in stealing. The public security officers did not touch the core of many operations, and only knew that the main boss was nicknamed "Wang Ye", and it was said that he was a master of stealing skills and was recognized as the king of thieves on the Southern Road.

The provincial public security bureau was determined to destroy this criminal gang, and after research, it was decided to send Zeng Fanliang to disguise himself as a street hooligan and infiltrate the thief gang. After three years, he gained the trust of the "prince" and mastered the criminal evidence of the main members of the gang, and finally persuaded the "prince" to turn himself in, destroying the gang in one fell swoop and cracking a series of major cases.

It's a pity that Zeng Fanliang couldn't attend the celebration banquet, he was hit on the head by two stubborn gang masters in the final arrest operation, and he was seriously injured and comatose for a week before waking up. After the injury, he was left with serious sequelae, headache and dizziness, and he also had mental problems for a while, and he could not use his brain, let alone be stimulated. The organization specially approved him to return to his parents to recuperate. Worthy of the name, they are state cadres who only get paid and do not go to work.

It is said that Zeng Fanliang was able to achieve the competence of the "prince" in a short period of time, thanks to the daughter of the "prince". At that time, he was in his twenties, tall and handsome, and the daughter of the "prince" fell in love with him at first sight. But this is only a legend and has never been confirmed by him.

Zeng Fanliang never went back to the provincial capital to work this time, in the early years, he went to the provincial capital several times a year, and then the Cultural Revolution broke out, smashing the "public procuratorate law", he rarely went to the provincial capital again, but every year people came from the city to see him, or comrades-in-arms, or friends, as well as leaders and colleagues.

Zeng Fanliang was not alone when he returned, and his wife Guan Yulan came back from the city with him. Whether it is the daughter of the legendary "prince" is unknown but no one knows, and some people who don't know anything have asked curiously, but they will never answer. Guan Yulan is beautiful and gentle, dignified and generous, and gets along well with her neighbors.

At that time, the organization considered that he needed someone to take care of him, and specially approved her to accompany her, and at first she was paid a monthly salary, but during the Cultural Revolution, the salary was canceled, saying that she had to go back to work to get paid. Despite this, she stayed with him and did not return to the city. They have two daughters, who have lived in their grandmother's house in the city since they were young, and they also go to school in the city, and they will only come back to reunite with their families during the winter and summer vacations. It's just that in this way, their lives are a little tight.

Zeng Fanliang was born and died on the battlefield, made meritorious contributions and received awards, and was a hero. It can be regarded as the pride of our Xinghua Village. In addition, he has this magic skill of retreating water, serving Xiangzi, and is very famous. Of course, the villagers don't want to see his health affected by his livelihood, but their family's household registration is in the city, not a member of the village, and they can't share the collective income.

Liu Yingguo, secretary of the brigade, convened all the cadres of the brigade, the captain of the production team and all the party members held a meeting, and made an exception to allocate a small vegetable plot to him, so that his family could grow some vegetables and fruits and something to be self-sufficient. At that time, the tail of capitalism was cut, and the villagers did not even have land for themselves, and the brigade was able to give his family a piece of land, which required great political risks at that time.

Once you have land, you will have fewer problems in life. In addition to going around the fields, Zeng Fanliang usually reads newspapers in the brigade headquarters in his spare time, and then goes to the consignment store to chat with a few old men and women who can't work.

When I ran to the consignment store, I saw him and Chen Shanzhong, Zeng Xianjing and Zeng Qingping from a distance, and the four of them were sitting on the bluestone slab outside the store and chatting energetically. And it is about the past of his grandfather's solo fight against the boxers of the four families of Li, Liu, Tan and Chen in the ring. It was Zeng Xianjing who spoke:

"I remember that it was still the Manchu Qing Dynasty, that is, the year when Emperor Xuantong ascended the throne, I was only seven or eight years old, that day the market was crowded with people, and people from all over the country flocked to see it. My dad took me to take a seat in the back mountain, a little far away, and I could only see the people in the ring, and I couldn't hear the voice.

"It's the end of the morning, the fighting competition begins, your father goes to the stage first, and the boxer of the Li family is in the first round. The boxer invited by the Li family is in his thirties, younger than your father, and is said to be a master on the Xinhua side. The two of them joined hands, and after only a few clicks, they were put down on the stage by your father.

"The second person to go up is Liu Qidong of the Liu family, that is, the grandfather of Liu Zhangwu's brother Liu Xian, who later made your grandfather suffer a loss, the two of them fought back and forth on the stage for dozens of hands, and Liu Qidong admitted defeat with blood on the corner of his mouth.

"The third one who went up was invited by the Tan family from Dong'an, he was older than your father, he was a veteran, the two fought inseparably on the stage, and finally your father took a time, fought to slap him, kicked him off the ring, and it took a while to get up, but that palm also hurt your father, at that time your father had blood at the corner of his mouth, standing in the ring like a god, majestic, murderous, and the lively applause below was deafening. The Chen family invited the man who thought he was inferior in skills, and directly admitted defeat, and he didn't even go to the stage......"

It's not the first time I've heard this story, it's the pinnacle of Liangshui's grandfather Zeng Xianchun. It is the pride of the Zeng family that has made the Zeng family always overwhelm other families in the following decades.

Until the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, the brothers Liu Xian and Liu Zhangwu of the Liu family came to challenge. At that time, his grandfather Zeng Xianchun was in his early seventies, was sick in bed, his father Zeng Qingwu fought on behalf of his father, was seriously injured by the Liu brothers in a wheel battle, and could only get up after half a year of recuperation, but only a few months later, the internal disease recurred, and he died young, which lasted for two years. At that time, the Bright Water Master was only a few years old.

Zeng Xianchun's white-haired man sent the black-haired man, he supported his old and sick body, and took the three Liangshui sisters and brothers to thank the guests behind closed doors, and passed on all what he had learned to Liangshui. Until the 34th year of the Republic of China, that year the Japanese devils surrendered, and the eighty-year-old man ran out of oil and returned to the west.

When his father Zeng Qingwu was seriously injured by the Liu brothers, in order to treat the injury, the family spent all their money. He originally had an uncle, who was said to have joined the party when he was studying in Changsha, and later joined the Northern Expedition as a soldier, and has not been heard from since. The family left a little daughter-in-law and two daughters.

The old and sick Zeng Xianchun with a large family of orphans and widows is in troubled times, and it is already difficult to stay at home, let alone them? It's a blessing to be alive. By the time he died, there was not much left of his ancestral inheritance, such as fields, mountains, and forests. When Liangshui Shi was seventeen years old, he sold the last dozen acres of mountain land, married his sixteen-year-old cousin, and left Xinghua Village with a small burden.

At this point, the courtyard that was once considered solid in the past has failed, and only the small courtyard has been retained. I heard the old man say that it was good that his family was defeated, otherwise he would have to be a landlord and rich peasant after liberation, and although he participated in the revolution in his early years, and was awarded for meritorious service and became an official, it is inevitable that there will be influence.

I was standing behind the Bright Water Master, and I was distracted. The Bright Water Master stared back at me several times, and I woke up. Hurriedly said: "Uncle Liang, a few strangers have carried a patient to wait at your house, and Uncle Guan wants you to go back quickly." “

The Bright Water Master stood up and walked home, and sighed as he walked: "Alas, the past is like smoke, decades have passed in a blink of an eye, and now their bones can beat drums." “

I followed behind his ass, stared at his tall back, and asked, "Uncle Liang, who is more powerful than you and Daddy (Grandpa)?" “

"How can I compare with his old man? Far from it! The Bright Water Master replied.

"I think you're better than Daddy." I slapped a sycophant, and then I blurted out again:

"Uncle Liang, I also want to learn martial arts and practice boxing, can you teach me boxing?"

The Bright Water Master sighed, turned his head to look at me, and said, "You want to learn boxing?" Okay, as long as your grandmother is willing, I will teach you. Go back and ask your grandmother. “

After a pause, he said: "But practicing boxing is very hard, bitter and tiring, can you endure hardship?" “

I was ecstatic, I didn't know how I could have been so bold as to make a request to the Bright Water Master, who was so serious that it was rare to smile, and he didn't hesitate to agree. I immediately promised:

"I can endure hardships, as long as I can learn skills from you, I can endure any hardship."

The Bright Water Master looked back at me and said, "Then why do you want to practice boxing?" What is the purpose of boxing? “

"This ...... I don't know about this, I just want to learn. "My little brain melon is stuck for a while.

"At least others don't dare to bully me......"

I muttered and added.

The Bright Water Master hummed and said, "Let's ask your family first." “

I hurriedly agreed and followed him.

Uncle Liang, who usually has a serious face and a bad temper, is rare and amiable today, and I want to follow to see who he treats.
