In the early morning of the 27th lunar month of 1918, the morning mist enveloped all the surrounding scenes, the rooster began to crow, and the quiet village became lively. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In a small wooden house by the stream, there was a cry of a baby, and a new life was born, and this baby was my father.

His father was the third among many brothers, and his grandfather named him "Fan Xiang".

At that time, it was very complicated to set foot in the three counties, and there were several bandits who often harassed the feng shui treasure of Dushi. When they reach the autumn harvest season or the New Year, they will go out and come to the monolith to burn and loot.

One afternoon in late November of the twelfth year of the Republic of China, the north wind was howling, and a group of bandits entrenched on Daning Mountain entered the village, and the men, women and children in the village were frightened by the bandits, and when they heard the sound of cannons, they hurriedly hid. After hiding the grain quickly, he fled to the mountains, and those who could not walk had to hide in the cellar and did not dare to come out. At that time, every household had a cellar, and the bandits came to the village and tossed for a while, but the harvest was not great.

"My mother is obedient, and I will make Lao Tzu run for nothing. Brothers, I can't afford to be cheaper, and I can't find food to order my house. The bandit leader was furious and set fire to the house as he left.

My ancestral house is by the stream, and it is also the entrance to the village, and the bandits set it on fire, and my ancestral house bears the brunt. The north wind was blowing, the ancestral house was on fire, and the grandmother was so frightened that she forgot that her father and fourth uncle were still sleeping in bed. The fire grew louder and louder, and the three-year-old father and one-and-a-half-year-old fourth uncle woke up in fright and cried.

When the grandmother heard the crying, she realized that the two children were still in the house, and she screamed for help.

The thirteen-year-old uncle heard the shouts for help and hurried back, he heard the crying in the house, knew what was going on, immediately poured a bucket of water on him, kicked the door open and walked in, and took his father and the fourth uncle out of the quilt.

The bandits are rampant and domineering, and the fathers and villagers can't live a stable life, so everyone comes to cry to the respected fourth grandfather.

"Folks, don't be sad, bandits are people, we are also people, we should not be afraid of them. This time the bandits entered the village and set fire to loot, which was unbearable, but fortunately, they taught us a lesson and reminded me. I propose that from now on, we will organize young and strong laborers to practice martial arts, and if there are not enough personnel, we can unite the Xiao family and the Qiu family, and no matter which village comes to the bandits, everyone will attack them in groups. The fourth grandfather said.

"It's a good idea, we can't let the bandits run amok anymore." Grandfather said.

"You are elders, and we all support your decision." Everyone said in unison.

Since then, the three surnames of Dushi have spontaneously organized, farming when they are busy, practicing martial arts in their spare time, and sending people to patrol at night.

One night, the peaceful village was awakened by the sound of a cannon. The fourth grandfather sat up, listened to the sound, and knew that the bandits rushed over from the grass grass, which were bandits from Daning Mountain, which were very rampant.

The fourth grandfather summoned everyone to Cao's door and said, "The bandits' first target must be the Dushi Zeng family again, don't panic, listen to my command." ”

"Da Mao, you go and investigate, how many bandits are here, and do they bring guns? Ermao, you go to Xiao's house to ask for help, this time you must not let the bandits succeed. The rest went back to get the guys and came to gather at Cao's gate. The fourth grandfather said.

The hairy legs and feet were the fastest, and he flew to the grass thatch.

Ermao went to Dushi Xiao's house to ask for help, the fourth grandmother was the maiden family of the Dushi Xiao family, the Xiao family immediately set off when they heard it, the Xiao family was only one mile away from Zeng's house, and they arrived in an instant.

The fourth grandfather counted the number of people, almost eighty, so he dispatched troops.

"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, you take twenty people to Dazhai to ambush them, and when the bandits enter the encirclement, you can kill them and cut off their back road. Fifth and Sixth, you bring twenty strong laborers to the entrance of Xiangmen Mountain to prevent bandits from entering the mountain. The rest of me lay in ambush on both sides of Cao's gate, and when the bandits entered the village, we closed the door and beat the dogs. ”

The fourth grandfather made careful arrangements, and dozens of people took hoes, flat poles, shuttle darts, and bird guns, and quickly moved to lay a net.

Besides, Da Mao came to "Dog Bites Sheep" (a place name of Dushi Zeng's house), saw the bandits coming over, counted, twenty-two people, a few birds, and while walking, they put artillery battles to be heroic.

The bandits came to the back of the village (the name of the place, at the foot of the village) and stopped, as if they wanted to probe the movement.

"Boss, let's not set off artillery battles, sneak into the village, it's almost midnight, and the people in the village will definitely not be guarded." Said one of the bandits.

"I heard that Dushi Zeng's family has held a group exercise, we can't take it lightly, Ergou, you take a few people to take the first step, if there is no movement, we will arrive later." The big boss said.

Ergou took the order and took five or six people to take the first step.

Da Mao heard what they said, took the path back to the village, and reported the situation to the fourth grandfather, who listened and ordered everyone to calm down and wait for all the bandits to enter Caomen before killing them.

Ergou came to Cao's gate and listened to the movement, the village was pitch black, and there was no sound.

"It must have been everyone's asleep, what a godsend." The second dog was overjoyed, so he lit the torch.

When the bandit leader saw the torches, he immediately came with his men.

Twenty-two bandits lit torches and entered the gate of Cao, and were about to move, when they heard the sound of a gong, and the villagers surrounded them from all directions with hoes, poles, shuttles, and birds, and men, women, and children, and shouted in unison.

The bandits were frightened by the sudden shouting and fled in a hurry.

The fourth grandfather led the villagers to chase and kill them, and when they saw the bandits, they beat them.

The bandits are only trying to flee for their lives, where do they dare to fight back? They tried to flee into the opposite mountain, but before they could enter the mountain, they heard a shout of killing blocking their way.

There were killers in front and pursuers in the back, and the bandits had to flee to the back of the village, who knew that behind the village there was a team of men and horses to cut off the way.

As soon as the bandit leader saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered everyone to disperse and break through.

The three-way people covered up and killed, surrounded the bandits and killed, everyone beat the water dogs, and the bandits cried and shouted for their mothers, only hating their fathers and mothers for missing two legs.

The bandit leader took advantage of the chaos to hide in a clump of weeds and escaped, while the rest of the bandits were beaten to the point that their noses were bruised and their eyes were swollen, and they knelt down and begged.

The fourth grandfather didn't want to have too much grudge, so after teaching the bandits a lesson, he persuaded them to change their evil and turn to good.

The matter of the fourth grandfather's fight against the bandits quickly spread all over the country, and several bandits in the vicinity listened to it and relented a lot.

From then on, the bandits no longer dared to harass the three courtyards of Dushi.

I would like to commemorate the centenary of my father's birth in this article.
