Chapter 41 The Old Sheepskin of the Tomb Robber (Part II)

But the old sheepskin does not have such a high consciousness and ideological consciousness at all, and in those sets of words nowadays, he also knows some words, and he will also say that this is the result of the shape of the time, but when it comes to the specific meaning and value, he is completely confused. And he was full of worries, and when he heard this, he didn't hear it, he lowered his head and didn't say a word, but he couldn't stop sighing.

I sighed, waved my hand at the fat man, and motioned for him to stop writing at length. I said to the old sheepskin: "Let's not grasp the outline, the second is not the line, and the third is not to mention the class struggle, and I will say from the heart, I and the fat man came to see our comrade-in-arms Ding Sitian from the Great Xing'an Mountains, and it turned out that just in time for your cattle to be lost, it stands to reason that there is nothing for us here, but the two of us did not hesitate at all, and risked our lives to help you and Ding Sitian find cattle, from yesterday to today, how much blood has been shed, how much sweat has been shed, you have also seen it, almost even took your life, and you? ”

I said this deliberately in a heavier tone: "And you? Our most respected old comrades of the poor and middle peasants, we don't even know which of your words is true, can you explain this matter to us clearly in view of the fact that we almost died in the white-eyed cave...... If you still have a little conscience, I promise that we are not to blame for what happened in the past, as long as it does not involve a conspiracy without traces of today, we will all rot this in our stomachs, but for the sake of the current environment and our own safety. You have to give us a reasonable account. ”

Although I said this in a planned way, I wanted to attack the heart, but it was really all from the heart. The old sheepskin was obviously impressed by me, and he asked me to fill him with tobacco leaves, took two puffs, and coughed incessantly, and talked about the past in fits and starts.

The old sheepskin and his brother Yang Erdan have been herding sheep for a living since childhood, often having a meal but not a meal, and their lives are miserable. When the two of them were teenagers, once the sheep and eggs were so hungry that they stole the lamb of the landlord's house, and the landlord beat them to death. I hit my temple on the stone grinder, and I was killed.

Killing people to pay for their lives, paying off debts, since ancient times, it is natural and righteous, if you have a life, you have to give someone a life, what if you don't want to die? Then you can only flee incognito. The two brothers did not dare to stay in their hometown, so they fled overnight, relying on their youth and familiarity with the surrounding ravines and ravines, avoiding the pursuit of the government, and fled all the way to the south of the Yellow River. The ancestor of the old sheepskin was born in the roaring Qin dialect, and the family heirloom will sing Zhao Zilong Nagasaka Savior, and the two of them have nothing to do to make a living, so they rely on going to various places to carry the boxes for the Shaanxi people who play shadow puppets, and more than ten years have passed in a flash.

At that time, the world was in great chaos, and one day the old sheepskin and the sheep and the second egg went to the countryside with the troupe to perform, and unfortunately met bandits. The female class owner was stripped naked by the bandits and stripped into a "human stick", and most of the rest of the people escaped. The old sheepskin fled into a cave in the nearby mountains with the sheep and eggs, and did not expect that there was an ancient tomb in the cave, and the pavilions in the deepest underground palace resembled the emperor's garden. Of course, the old sheepskin has never seen what the emperor's house looks like, and it is estimated that it looks similar to the appearance in this cave, and he has simply entered the heavenly palace. The two of them wandered around the underground palace and inadvertently saved the life of a Taoist priest, who was also young, a few years younger than Yang Erdan, and his words and deeds were by no means idle.

When they heard that their squad leader was killed by bandits, they asked them to wait in the cave for a while, and after going out for a while, they came back with a string of heads. The brothers and sons looked at the first few satins, it was the gang of bandits who blocked the road and killed them, although it was evil and evil, but the old sheepskin was a proper person, looking at this bloody and blurred human head, they couldn't help but feel frightened, but looking at the young Taoist, it seemed that he didn't take killing seriously at all.

Moreover, this young Taoist is very righteous, and he is willing to repay the spring for his kindness, not to mention avenging the two brothers, but also to give them a sum of money. The old sheepskin was worried that this Taoist priest was also a murderous horse thief, how could he dare to accept his belongings. When the young Taoist priest saw that they did not accept it, he led them to the house of a rich man surnamed Chen, and asked the man surnamed Chen to take care of them in the future, and then left in a hurry, leaving no name before leaving.

The man surnamed Chen was not very old, although he was very respectful to the young Taoist, but he himself was also a man with many hands and eyes, many brothers under him, many antiquities at home, often doing some tricks, and this person was born with good eloquence, able to speak well, and his mouth was like a river. At the beginning, this person surnamed Chen arranged the old sheepskin and sheep and eggs in his big house, and did not call them as a person, but only let them do some easy odd jobs, three tea and four meals a day, good food and drink, and give them some money to buy whatever they want to buy in the month.

The old sheepskin is born with a hard life, how can he have this kind of treatment, he feels that he can't go, so he wants to help other people's families do some rough work, but there are subordinates who do it, and they don't have their share if they want to do it. Later, after a long time, their brothers finally knew that this surnamed Chen turned out to be a Jiangyang thief who robbed tombs and dug graves, but not only did they not feel ashamed, but they were quite reasonable, what was the big deal, if they wanted to become a great righteousness, they would lose a small section, this is called sharing the spoils and gathering righteousness, and conspiring to do great things, not to mention digging a few barren graves and mounds, and the tomb of the emperor Lao Tzu has not been dug up.

Later, the old sheepskin and sheep and eggs also joined the gang, for several years, and the surname Chen learned a lot of skills without inverted fighting marks, these people can identify grass-colored soil marks, will "a thousand poles circle holes" and "through the ridge to take the tomb" skills, and often pretend to be Mr. Feng Shui everywhere to inquire about the news, the eyeliner is very wide, as soon as there is a move, it is dozens of hundreds of people dispatched. is not only upside down, passing by the rich and unkind big households, often by the way, it is a bit of a Liangshan hero. But once the leader surnamed Chen took a group of brothers to the south to make a big deal, because the distance was far away, there were not too many people who went, and they probably had an accident in the south, and none of them could come back, and all of them were missing.

After the disappearance of the thief, the trees fell and scattered, and some of the people went south to find the whereabouts of the chief, while the rest went their separate ways. The old sheepskin also planned to go south, but the sheep and the second egg discussed with another tomb robber from the northeast, and the two of them wanted to go to the three eastern provinces together. The old sheepskin persuaded the sheep and the two eggs not to go to the Northeast, and the three eastern provinces of Manchukuo were all occupied by the small Japanese state, so where can we be accommodated?
