Chapter 1: Eternal Happiness (1)

It was late at night, Zhou went back to the house to sleep, and Mo Di had already extinguished the only electric light in the hall. Come to the porch and sit down, in the moonlight like water, look at the crescent moon walking in the clouds, look at the faint stars, and my thoughts go back to more than thirty years ago.

This scene in front of him is the first time it has appeared in Mo Di's mind, Mo Di can't remember it clearly, he only knows that for a while, as long as he closes his eyes, this is the picture that appears in front of him. It is a small mountain village called Ao Shang in Baishou, Guilin, located in the valley, surrounded by green mountains, a fertile field at the foot of the mountain, and a small west river flows through the village, turning his family's dozens of acres of land into a grain field for drought and flood protection. I don't know when my ancestors came to this place, and I don't know how many years and generations my family has lived here, but I only know that relying on these dozens of acres of land, I have fed generations of Mo families, and it has also made the Mo family a big family in Ao Shang Village.

He was born by this small river, and grew up by this small river, swimming, fishing, chasing and playing, until he left his hometown at the age of fifteen.

The scene of the morning of leaving home is still vivid, my father was very angry that day, just because he did not complete the homework assigned by his father, and the hateful "Teacher Table" became the last lesson of his school days.

Father Mo Minghua is a local celebrity, and is the most read in the local people, under the care of the uncle Mo Xuting, who served as the magistrate of Baishou County, his father served as the principal of the primary school in Baishou County, and was respected by all the local people, according to the Mo County Chief, the county magistrate went out, no one knocked the gong to clear the road, no one avoided it, the principal went out, although there was no gong to open the way, almost all people will respectfully let the Tao salute, this is the power of culture. Mo Di has been smart since he was a child, and he has never forgotten his reading, and he is the most valued among his father's four sons, and his father also hopes that Mo Di will work Confucianism and take over his mantle in the future.

However, it backfired, although Mo Di is quite talented in reading, but he is more willing to follow his uncle Mo Shaohua to practice martial arts, he thinks that the peaceful and prosperous times are more suitable for martial arts, and now the warlords are not good at fighting, and they should practice a body of kung fu. Uncle Mo Shaohua is strong, in the Yongning Prefecture area, there are few opponents, thirty-five or sixteen do not get married, every day by the river to practice stick boxing, the locals call Mo beater. Before Mo Di was enlightened and read the original nature of people, he had already become his uncle's follower, and he practiced kung fu for ten years at the age of fifteen, and he was involved in knives, guns, sticks, and fists. Although he has not been tall, and he is thin and weak, his strength is not bad, and his kung fu is even more amazing.

The night before, the perverted father left his homework and asked Mo Di to recite the full text of the "Teacher Table" early the next morning, just because the uncle who was the county magistrate asked to go to Yongning Prefecture at noon to recite it to the Guijun officers who came to Baishou to recruit soldiers, in order to show the cultural atmosphere of Baishou and one place. The county magistrate of Mo had to choke Mo Enemy enough, if he wanted to show these things of culture, it was enough to read Tang poems and Song Ci, and a long "Teacher Table" could not be memorized in the morning, so he simply threw the book aside, and early in the morning, he followed his uncle to the river.

When I came back from the river, I saw my father's dripping black face, followed by the stick in my hand, which was clearly the long deadbolt on the gate, which weighed more than a dozen pounds of wood.

"Yongfu Run!" Uncle shouted.

Confucian education is very regular, when the elders punish the juniors, there is no need for the juniors to fully endure, the disciples said: the small cane to accept it, the big cane to go, seeing that the situation is not right, it is necessary to run away. Mo Di immediately came to his senses, turned around and ran, watching his angry father use the door bolt as a crutch, standing at the door and stomping his feet, and then scolded: "You little cub dare to run, when will you come back, when will I break your dog's leg." ”

is invincible to this run, which is twenty-five years.

The uncle took the bolt in his father's hand, persuaded his father, and pulled his father into the courtyard gate. After practicing kung fu in the morning, I was already hungry with my belly sticking to my vest, and after running for a while, I felt even more hungry, so I took two sweet potatoes in the sweet potato field by the river, washed them by the river, ate them in two bites, and then walked downstream along the river. Mo Di knew that every time his father was angry, he should hide for a few days as usual, and under the persuasion of his mother, his father would gradually lose his anger, and as long as he sincerely admitted his mistake later, his father would no longer pursue it.

It's just that how to spend the days these days is a troublesome matter, you have to eat during the day, you have to live at night, and you can usually mix with a few clan brothers at the county uncle's house, this time, the incident was caused by the clan uncle, but I don't dare to go to them for trouble.

The river turned two times and went down two beaches, passing through a rice field, and the county seat of Baishou County, which was formerly known as Yongning Prefecture, appeared in front of it. Walking into the south gate, Mo Di found that today's Yongning Prefecture is a little different from usual, the usually lively vegetable market is quiet, but the square in front of the county government is usually quiet, and it is very lively.

At the gate of the county government, a simple shed was set up, on top of the wooden pillar, a bamboo mat was made to block the rising sun, and a desk was placed under the shed, and the master in the county government was copying something.

"Mo Di is also coming to join the army!" Someone called at him.

Mo Die Leng, join the army, he didn't think about it, he is only fifteen years old this year, even if he wants to join the army, it seems to be a little early, smiled at the person who shouted at him, did not speak, at this moment, he is more interested in whether he can find a familiar person, please go to the door of the vegetable market to eat a bowl of hot and spicy meat and rice noodles.

"There is no enemy with high skills, and there are no invincible opponents in Yongning Prefecture, so it is most suitable to be a soldier." and the good deeds are shouting.

Or maybe the shouts of the good deeds were so loud that they attracted the attention of the people sitting under the bamboo shed, only to see a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old officer standing up from the side of the master who copied the copy, and asked loudly to the noisy crowd below: "Yongning Prefecture is invincible?" May I ask which strong man is invincible? ”

Mo Di took a few steps closer, came to stand in front of the officer, and nodded.

"You are the invincible opponent of Yongning Prefecture?" The officer stared at the little man in front of him with a look of surprise, with a bald head and protruding eyes, a black face and a thin neck, no fat on his body, and the total gross weight of his whole body was only about eighty pounds. That's a legendary character, and it doesn't exist in reality. The officer almost immediately determined that the person in front of him was probably the legendary gangster, in Yongning Prefecture, bullying men and women did all kinds of evil, and flying away from the sky was a disaster, so that Yongning Prefecture was invincible. Thinking of the end, the officer's eyes were already full of contempt, and his eyes were all peeking through the corners of his eyes.

"It is invincible, as for the invincible opponents in Yongning Prefecture, it is the love of the villagers." Mo Di said with a smile.

"With your small body, you dare to claim to be invincible in Yongning Prefecture, this Yongning Prefecture is too unmanned! Hahahaha! The officer laughed loudly, his voice was very loud, and he could hear that he had a Xiajiang accent, and it was estimated that he was a person from the Guilin Administrative Supervision District.

The audience was silent, and only the laughter of the officers could be heard in the square. Perhaps sensing that the environment was wrong, the officer's laughter stopped abruptly, and when he looked at it, all the people in the audience looked at him with an unfriendly gaze, and then looked at the nearest invincible, and a pair of protruding eyes could almost burst into flames.

"This military master, the so-called not a dragon but the river, since he came to Yongning Prefecture to recruit troops, he must have something extraordinary, if he doesn't show his means to Yongning's fathers, and if he can convince the public, take away the children of Yongning Prefecture." Speaking of this, Mo Di turned around and shouted loudly into the square: "Please show us the invincible magic skills." ”

"Good!" The square responded violently, and immediately circled a martial arts arena, and there were good deeds, who got a set of belongings for monkeys not far away, knocking and beating, so lively.

The officer's expression immediately changed greatly, his face turned red, time has entered the twentieth century, the era of cold weapons has long passed, the smoothbore gun has been replaced by the rifle, the front-loading gun has been replaced by the rear-loading gun, firearms have entered every social class, at this time, the officer can play a good marksmanship is good, and then can have a martial arts can be described as rare. The officer's surname is Zhang, his name is Zhang Guangwei, he is a platoon deputy of the Dinggui Thief Alliance, a native of Yongfu in the lower reaches of the West River, and a student attached to Guilin A Industrial School. In June 1925, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Huang Shaohong contacted Shen Hongying to expel Lu Rongting and occupy Guilin after Zhang Yiqi was appointed governor of Guangxi in Nanning. In order to fight the final decisive battle with Lu Rongting in Xing'an County, Shen Bu recruited troops everywhere to expand the team, Zhang Guangwei got the consent of his superiors and returned to his hometown Yongfu Baishou to recruit troops, and he had already said that if he recruited back 30 people, he would be the platoon commander, if he recruited back 50 people, he would be the company commander, and if he recruited 100 people, he would be promoted to battalion deputy. Zhang Guangwei doesn't know martial arts, and he can't even shoot very accurately, so let himself go to the square to perform martial arts, in addition to being embarrassed or humiliated, in addition to being embarrassed or humiliating.

"Here's one, here's one!" The cries in the square rose higher and higher.

"Bang bang bang!" The sound of the monkey's gong was even more intense, knocking Zhang Guangwei's heart beating.

"Deputy Zhang, show your hand!" The end is that the soldiers who followed him to recruit soldiers also looked afraid of the sky and wanted to see their own jokes.

The most disgusting thing is that the little boy in front of him, who looks like he is not smiling, is still respectfully inviting himself to play, the question is how to get off the field at his own level.
