Wang Laoba is dead.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the railway system in the Northeast was relatively advanced and perfect compared with the South, and after the liberation, the Northeast strengthened the development of industry, and the railway transformation was almost perfect.

Just after the fifteenth, Ye Shou'an proposed to the bald tiger, set a date for marriage, and a few people rushed to Shanhaiguan, ready to take a ride from here to Pulandian, and then to Longmiao Village.

Not long after the train started, Wang Laoba was addicted to smoking, he stood in the aisle of the carriage to smoke, just in time to catch up with the attendant in checking the ticket, when he found Wang Laoba, his ticket did not know where the seven plugs were stuffed, and he couldn't find it for a while, the attendant asked him to pay for another ticket, he didn't understand that he had already bought a ticket, why did he have to spend money to buy it again, so he argued with the attendant, just arrived in Suizhong, as soon as the car stopped, Wang Laoba was pushed off the train by the attendant, at that time Ye Shouan was sitting in the carriage and resting, and when the train started again, he found that Wang Laoba was not there, and when he inquired, it turned out that he was driven off the train at Suizhong Station。

The next stop is Xingcheng, it will take at least half an hour to get to the station, as soon as the train arrives at Xingcheng Station, Ye Shouan instructed Cuihua to take Xiao Fulu to Pulandian after getting off the train, how to go to Longmiao Village to find Aunt Lu, instructed a lot, left enough entanglement, and then ran off the car and rushed back to Suizhong to find Wang Laoba.

It is said that this Wang Lao Ba was not angry when he just got off the train for no reason, and walked out of the station with a scolding and scolding, and stood on the street and smoked. He felt very aggrieved, he obviously had a ticket to make up for his mother's ticket? When he was sulking with his head down, a group of People's Liberation Army (PLA) passed in front of him, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he pointed to the back of the PLA and scolded: "That's how your Communist Party treats the common people?"

The PLA team stood still, and a PLA officer dressed as an officer came up to Wang Laoba and asked kindly: "This comrade, are you talking about us? If the Communists do anything that makes you uncomfortable, we will definitely deal with it seriously!"

Before he could finish speaking, a group of people on the street dragged a man with a southern accent to the PLA, and an old aunt said to the PLA company commander in a loud voice: "Comrade PLA, this person seems to be a Kuomintang spy!"

It turned out that this southern man has been appearing on the streets of Suizhong for the past few days, carrying a box and standing for an afternoon, as if waiting for someone, this scene was noticed by the SZ County militia company, today it happened that Aunt Li, who had dealt with the Kuomintang spies and had a frontal struggle, was also there, so she asked her to help see if the other party was a Kuomintang spy, Aunt Li observed for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: This person must be a spy. Because his behavior was very similar to the connection between the spies, he led someone to arrest him and prepared to send him to the Public Security Bureau.

"I'm not affiliated with the Kuomintang, I'm a few business dollars!" The man who was caught spoke Cantonese Mandarin, and everyone was confused, what department, what department?

"Businessman, how big is the business?" asked the PLA company commander when he opened the box, which was full of gold bars and made people stunned.

"Tie my gold bars, don't you move around! Don't you say that the Communist Party doesn't care about the masses with a stitch and a thread, don't you tie it because the needle and thread are too cheap, a few gold bars?" The southern man asked a question, and the PLA company commander also turned red: "Comrade, you have misunderstood, we Communists will not take things from the common people, but you must clearly explain what your surname is, where you are from, what is the purpose of coming to Suizhong, and whether this box of gold bars is yours? If it is yours, what is the source of the gold bars?" If it's not yours, then why is this box of gold bars in your hand?"

A series of questions from the PLA company commander made the southern man panic, he hesitated for a long time and didn't think about how to answer, and finally had no choice, he could only admit that this gold bar was not his, but he and a group of brothers robbed on the streets of Guangzhou a few years ago, the owner was two northern men, one bald, the other fierce and vicious, this time he came to Suizhong to buy a batch of arms and tobacco, but the seller has not appeared in the past few days, so he can only stand at the agreed place every afternoon and wait.

As soon as Wang Laoba heard it, he knew that it was his own gold bar, so he wanted to find a chance to snatch it back, but he couldn't fall into the hands of others.

At this time, a PLA soldier came out of the team, looked at Wang Laoba carefully, and asked, "Are you Wang Laoba?"

Before Wang Laoba went out, Ye Shouan kept telling him not to admit that he was Wang Laoba, if he was interrogated by the People's Liberation Army, he would say that his name was Wei Dahai, and he would never be able to admit that he was Wang Laoba, because the things he had done before were enough to be shot ten times.

But at this time, Wang Laoba, who was thinking about something, still remembered Ye Shou'an's instructions? Without raising his head, he admitted that he was Wang Laoba, and he was surprised that he had already withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, how could anyone still recognize him? Could it be that this little comrade who asked the question had also heard of his prestige?

"Report to the company commander! This comrade is not a good person; he is Wang Laoba, a notorious bandit leader in the northeast region before the founding of the People's Republic of China! This person has committed many crimes, has a bad record, and has scourged the township and killed people like hemp, and there are almost no ordinary people in the northeast who have not been persecuted by him! I was once taken captive by him and crossed the mountain, and in order to save me, my parents sold their houses and land, and when they were sick, they had no money for medical treatment, and in the end they all fell ill and died!" After the PLA officer who had just asked me heard the report of the little soldier, he looked at Wang Laoba again, and his face was indeed fierce, and he was not a good person at first glance.

"I, I'm not Wang Laoba, I'm Wei Dahai, three generations of poor peasants in our family, and I fully support the Communist Party!" Wang Laoba tried his best to defend himself, but he also knew that he was in trouble.

"Who are you, are you a poor middle peasant, we will investigate clearly, please cooperate and come with us!" The PLA company commander ordered to catch Wang Laoba, at this time Ye Shouan happened to run out of the station, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly rushed over to relieve the siege, how could the PLA have made up his mind, and he also wanted to escort Ye Shouan back for interrogation.

At this moment, a big snake came out of nowhere and went straight to the PLA team. Ye Shouan recognized that the big snake was the giant python that played with Lu Youcai back then.

The giant python swam in front of the People's Liberation Army, its eyes were gloomy, it was spitting out a long letter, and its face was very terrifying! It was so frightened that no one at the scene dared to come out, and no one dared to make a move, for fear of being attacked by it.

I saw it pass through the People's Liberation Army and came straight to Ye Shou'an and the two, the two seemed to hear the giant python saying "Come to me", the giant python's tail flicked and hit the two of them, Ye Shouan and Wang Laoba couldn't help but ride on the giant python one by one.

The python did not wait for the two to sit firmly, and then rushed forward, Wang Laoba reached out and snatched the box from the PLA company commander when the python was about to accelerate, holding the box tightly in his arms with one hand, and putting the other hand on the giant python.

"Comrades, pull the bolt, hit!" Seeing this, the PLA company commander hurriedly ordered to shoot at the long-legged snakes and people in mid-air, but the giant python flew too fast, and the bullet barely hit them.

After flying for a long time, Ye Shouan felt that he was shuttling in the clouds and mist, the whole person was fluttering, and then looked down, he had a fear of heights, it didn't matter what he saw, he was so scared that he almost fell headlong!

Not long after, the giant python fell to the ground, Ye Shouan observed the surroundings and looked familiar, and suddenly realized, isn't this Longmiao Village?

"Lao Wang, this is Longmiao Village, let's go to Longmiao Village!" Ye Shouan said excitedly to Wang Laoba, but he couldn't hear anyone respond.

"Lao Wang, what's wrong with you?" Ye Shou'an saw Wang Laoba lying on the giant python with the box in his arms, so he stretched out his hand to push him, this push, Wang Laoba's whole person slid from the giant python to the ground like a puddle of mud, his face was pale, and a large area of blood oozed from his left chest ribs, obviously he was hit by the random shot just now, and when he looked closely at the wound, it was shocking.

"Lao Wang, Lao Wang. Oh, what can I do, Lao Wang!" Ye Shouan pushed Wang Laoba a few times, only to see Wang Laoba spurt out of his mouth with a mouthful of blood, and said to Ye Shouan as if he was having trouble breathing: "Lao ...... Old...... Lao Ye, I'm ...... this time Definitely...... Finish...... It's time to finish the calf......" Ye Shou'an held back his tears and asked Wang Laoba not to talk nonsense, Wang Laoba waved his hand with difficulty, the blood at the corner of his mouth was still gushing, he swallowed, pointed to the box that fell to the ground, and continued: "This gold bar...... To the tiger...... Half, and the remaining half is given to ...... To give...... Your three children are divided into uncles...... There's nothing to give...... Don't be too little...... Talk to Huzi...... Tell Huzi that you can ...... You can't smoke it anymore... Smoke opium!"

At this time, Wang Laoba's mind was already beginning to be unclear, and he didn't know what year it was reading in his mouth.

"Lushunkou... Can't go back... That budding rice field... Let the little devil burn ... you, little devil..."

"I ...... I don't want to be a dirt ...... Earth...... Bandits, but the way of the world...... Don't grab ...... There's no way to live!"

"I ...... Don't want to die ......"

Wang Laoba died, and he said that he didn't want to die, but he still died after all.

The giant python disappeared when Wang Laoba was dying, and he didn't know where he went.

The butcher Liu Sangui no longer slaughters pigs, and in the first year after liberation, he delivered pork door-to-door, so he ran for election to become the village head.

Village Chief Liu now holds meetings all day long, either going to the county for meetings or coming back from the county to organize a meeting of the villagers.

On this day, he had little leisure, so he sat in the village committee and listened to the radio, and when he was listening to Peking Opera, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

When I opened the door, it was very familiar, isn't this Mr. Ye?

Ye Shou'an was also surprised, how did the Ye family's former clothing shop become the village committee of Longmiao Village? And how could Liu Sangui, the pig slaughterer who was so sloppy as to attract flies all day long that his brain was full of fat, become the village chief wearing glasses and a Mao suit in front of him?

Ye Shou'an has not been in these years, Longmiao Village has developed rapidly, the former earthen houses and grass houses have now become brick houses, and it seems that there are more households in the village, he really can't find where the Lu family is with a box, so he can only find the location of the Lu family's clothing shop in his memory, but he doesn't want to become a village committee here.

"Three fat people?"

"Boss Ye?"

The leaders of the two Red Army, who seemed to have gone through hardships and hardships to finally meet, both stretched out their hands and held them vigorously, as if this moment was sacred and solemn.

"Oh, what a boss, now they are all comrades. Ye Shou'an saw that Liu Sangui was no different from before, so he asked, "Sanfat, where is my sister-in-law of the Lu family?"

Liu Sangui handed a cigarette to Ye Shou'an, lit one himself, spit out the smoke ring and said slowly: "I went to HB to visit relatives, I only left yesterday, it seems that I went to see her aunt or aunt's illness and no one took care of it, right?

Liu Sangui is not called Liu Sangui, called Liu Sanhuai, at the beginning of the pig slaughtering business, there was a fortune teller to tell him fortune, let him write down his name and birthday, he wrote the name, the fortune teller old man is not highly educated, stunned does not know the locust tree of the locust word, so a mouth is pronounced "Liu Sangui" At first, everyone just laughed at the fortune teller who was uneducated, and after the old man moved away, no one ridiculed Liu Sanhuai as Liu Sangui all day long.

Every time Liu Sangui mentions his son, he is very proud in his heart, because after the liberation of the Northeast, his son inherited his father's business and also started the slaughtering industry, but his son was not like his father who carried a pig on the street all day long, but went to the county to set up a meat factory in partnership with others.

Although Liu Sangui does not show off on the surface, as long as he chats with others, he will definitely talk about the problem of children, and every time he praises other people's children, and then his son is not promising, at this time, if the other party is a good person, he will definitely ask why his uncompetitive son is not promising, and then Liu Sangui will come lightly: " My son has no interest, just a shareholder of Jinping County Meat Factory, don't look at it as equivalent to a national cadre, but the monthly salary is pitiful, only more than 200 yuan, alas, no ability!"

At that time, the salary of senior workers was only forty or fifty yuan, and more than two hundred yuan was equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary family.

This show-off trick has never failed under the use of Liu Sangui, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly, but it doesn't work when it comes to Ye Shou'an.

I saw that Ye Shou'an became a little stunned after hearing that the Lu family's sister-in-law was not in Longmiao Village, and after asking which school Lu Youcai was studying, he left the village committee after a little greeting with Liu Sangui, and went straight to Longmiao Primary School to take Lu Youcai home, and then took him to the back mountain to secretly hide Wang Laoba's body.
