Chapter 35: The Righteous Brothers
"Oh, master, how many times have I told you, don't go to sleep on the roof, you forgot that you fell off the roof to sleep last year, and fell like that old bear," Gao Yuting turned her head and shouted into the house while supporting the old lady, "Second fat!" Tell you to look at Dianye, you know how to play with your mobile phone, hurry up and move the ladder over, let Master come down. ”
"Then the master is willing to go up, what can I do," a little chubby dun who looked to be only a teenager walked out of the house with some reluctance, and brought a ladder and set it up next to the house.
"Master, come down quickly," Gao Yuting looked helpless, "What's so good about the roof, welded it for you?" ”
Old man Gao is not in a hurry, leisurely.
"Accustomed to it, I feel that this roof is strong," Old Man Gao yawned, shook his head, sighed softly, and stretched, "What's the danger of this, when I was a child, I was naughty with your uncle, and smashed a hole in my roof, and my father punished the two of us for sleeping on the roof for several days, obediently, the wind and the sun and rain, isn't it okay?" Alas, how can I talk about these again, think about the days at that time, it's so good, it's gone, life. ”
Old man Gao's face was full of emotion, full of reminiscence.
"Pull it down, Gao Tucun, you old Deng, you are still pretending to be deep, don't put this shame on it, you see who is coming," Mrs. Wang pouted, grabbed Li Chengzhen, and pushed forward like a treasure.
"Huh?" Old Man Gao was stunned for a moment, looked at it fixedly, and a sense of intimacy arose.
Hey, it's familiar, look at this thick-eyed and big-eyed one, he has seen it! Where did it come from? It's right on the lips, oops, why can't I say it, damn, I'm dazed.
Thick eyebrows and big eyes......
Oh!
Old man Gao's hand trembled! He raised his head suddenly, his face full of disbelief: "Hongju!?" ”
"Look at your bear-like, you are old and confused, this is Hongju's grandson!" Mrs. Wang seemed a little proud, "Don't hurry down yet." ”
Before the words fell, I saw that the old man Gao couldn't wait for a backflip, jumping high, crisp and neat, very chic............ He sat down on the ground.
。。

"Oh, give me a hand, legs...... My leg is numb......"
All:......
………………
Ten minutes later,
In the house,
Li Chengzhen didn't say a word, facing the two old men, the bell clanged, and kowtowed three times.
"Liyuan Li family, Li Chengzhen, the grandson of the Li family, meet Master Gao, meet Grandma Wang."
"Hey, Chengzhen, what are you doing here," Old Man Gao didn't guard for a while, came back to his senses, hurriedly helped Li Chengzhen up in distress, and bent down to pat the soil off his knees, "What age is it, it's not in fashion from time to time, come on, come on, go to the kang, hey, tsk, good boy, it's so good, it's good." ”
"Master Gao, Grandma Wang, you can all stand this gift," Li Chengzhen sat down next to Old Man Gao, "You are always my father's sworn brother, then kowtowing to you is equivalent to kowtowing to my father, I haven't even had a greeting for so many years, kowtow to grandparents and make amends, this is the rule that should be there." ”
"Tie up......" Old Man Gao pursed his lips, his face flashed with a look of reminiscence, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed, "Yes, we are brothers who have worshipped the handle, when did we come?" 26 years? Or 28 years? Tsk, I can't remember clearly, it's far away, I was still living in Mukden at that time, he stole his father's ten years of aging, I cut down my family's big rooster with a knife, blood for the alliance, burned yellow paper to sacrifice to the sky, worshiped Guan Gong and became brothers of the opposite sex, and then we let it hang on the tree for a day, I can't forget that time now, as if it was just yesterday, alas, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Hongju is gone, I still remember ......"
It seemed that the switch of memories was turned on, and Old Man Gao began to talk to them about the past of those years, and he missed those years all his life, which was also one of the few happy times in his life.
Li Chengzhen listened carefully, and some of the details that made him puzzled were slowly completed.
Li Chengzhen also read the notes left by his grandfather, and his grandfather used a lot of pen and ink to describe his brother's affairs, and seemed to be lamenting what happened to his brother.
Grandpa was born as a child, twenty-eight Dharma Protectors, which is a talent that others can not seek, but the Dharma Protectors will need human Qi to nourish them, and they will not be temperate, which is too much of a burden for a child, and almost let Grandpa die in infancy.
Until he was five or six years old, his grandfather Li Hongju's body became worse and worse due to the oppression of the child's life, and almost even walking, sitting and lying became a problem.
At this time, his grandfather's grandfather, Li Shoushan, Li Chengzhen's great-grandfather, took the young Li Hongju to the Northeast, sought medical treatment everywhere, begged his grandfather to worship his grandmother, and finally, begged the Gao family.
The Gao family invited the shaman to teach the two famous gods of the Ma lineage, the two gods and gods chattered, and invited the hall to report to Ma Huang Tianle, Uncle Huang came to the body, and this Huang Xian sealed several of his grandfather's qi tricks, so that the grandfather could grow up smoothly, have enough life foundation, and warm up the gods.
And it was in the process of this time that grandpa met his lifelong brother, Gao Tucun, about how he and Mr. Gao met, grandpa did not elaborate, but it can be vaguely seen between the lines that the two have similar temperaments and like-minded interests.
This is why he later killed chickens and stole wine, burned yellow paper to worship Guan Gong.
Later, grandpa returned to Sijiu City, and the two never broke off.
At that time, the transportation was far less convenient than it is now, even if it was a stranger, but the two would still find a way to find time to meet, not for anything else, they had worshiped the handle, and the young chivalrous spirit made them wait for thousands of miles.
Those days were really beautiful, the Gao family was like cooking oil on fire, becoming stronger and stronger, and the Li family was also full of flowers and famous in the capital.
But if nothing else, the unexpected happened.
September 18 of that year changed the fate of too many people in this land.
The Japanese invaders launched a war of aggression against China and swept through the Northeast, and that year's grandfather Li Hongju was in his early twenties.
It wasn't until the following year, when the Northeast fell completely, that Grandpa got the news, he was so anxious that he couldn't care about any tour, so he packed up his softness and turned north.
From the magic capital to Mukden, 2,000 kilometers, how far away it was in that era when cars were not as fast as horse-drawn carriages, and there were no cement roads at that time, so many swamps and mountains could only be passed on foot.
In addition, at that time, the warlords were fighting, the people were in turmoil, bandits were rampant, and there were countless difficulties and dangers along the way.
By the time he arrived, the Gao family had long been in ruins, with dark red blood stains in the corners, mixed with gunsmoke, emitting a pungent smell.
