Chapter 40: Dan has no regrets

The difficulties encountered by the Eighth Route Army on the anti-Japanese front deeply affected the hearts of the people of the whole country, so people donated money and materials in different ways to support the anti-Japanese war.

On this day, Xilai asked her daughter-in-law Chunhua to find the package sent by her father Yunshan, and brought her son Yun Zifu, and the three of them quietly came to the Anti-Japanese War Material Donation Office and donated all the 100 silver dollars left by their father. On the way back, Xilai couldn't hold back the excitement on his face, and said to his wife and children:

"Next, I'm going to do it again! …… Right! It's still necessary to work harder! ”

The war is chaotic, and it is a year of poor harvests, and most of the people around are poor people, where is there any excess money. Therefore, despite Xilai's daily work of going out early and returning late, he still can't save a few big bucks. There was no way, Xilai had to take his master Shang Wuye, and the family came to Weixian County, which has a larger population and a relatively better economy.

On this day, in the bookstore next to Shihu Garden in Weixian County, Xilai gave a speech in "The Biography of Jingzhong Yue Fei", in which the traitorous minister Qin Hui and his wife set a poison plan next to the east window, and on the night of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, they strangled Yue Fei and his son to death in the Fengbo Pavilion in the bleak wind and cold rain. Xilai's language is concise, full of feelings, the atmosphere is thick, and the performance is accurate. On the one hand, it vividly shows the treacherous and vicious spirit of Qin Hui and his wife, and on the other hand, it focuses on the brave loyalty and righteousness of Yue Fei's father and son who swear to fight for the country and the people. At the scene of listening to the book, some people were sighing, some people were scolding, and some people were choking, and the entire Shihu Garden bookstore was shrouded in a sad and heroic atmosphere, and the feelings of patriotism and resistance to insult were slowly growing and germinating.

"-Smack!"

With the joy of waking up wood, this time was over, and the audience suddenly came back to their senses. Immediately, the entire bookstore was drowned out by cheers and shouts. The carnival people didn't notice that in the corner of the lively bookstore, several pairs of thief eyes had quietly stared at Xilai.

That night, lightning and thunder roared, wind and rain swept the hut rented by the Xilai family to a crumbling one, and the wind occasionally drove rainwater into the house through the cracks in the fence wall.

Suddenly, there was a "click", the door was kicked open, and the Xilai family, who had just fallen asleep, were awakened. Immediately, three or four black gauze masked men poured into the hut, dragged Xilai from the earthen kang and beat him violently, and the teenage Yun Zifu instinctively rushed up and was also knocked down with a stick. After a while, the four people in the room, including the master, were beaten and bruised, and they all collapsed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, several gangsters rummaged through boxes and cabinets, searched around, and only found out that they were happy with the small amount of money they had worked hard to get, and then they cursed and left.

The night was long, and the wind and rain outside were even stronger......
