Chapter 10: The Great Bandit, the Great Good Man
Ten large carriages loaded with bulging marijuana bags came out of Gao's house, and Gao Kuirong felt a pain in his heart as he looked at the mighty carriage of horses.
I can't stand it, and I'm afraid I'll vomit blood if I look at it more.
Gao Kuirong turned around and put the dishes and half of the roast chicken on the table into the food box, picked up the remaining half bottle of wine and the food box, and went back to the second wife's room to drink wine.
Gao Meijuan sat on the sack of the first carriage, looked at Xie Tian who was riding a horse and said: "Head Xie, you said half of what you said just now, I said that the people also want to live a peaceful life like me, you say not necessarily, why?" ”
Xie Tian turned his head to look at Gao Meijuan and smiled: "You are the eldest lady of the Gao family, so you naturally want to live a peaceful life, but for ordinary people, even if there are no Japanese, there is no peaceful life." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Gao Meijuan looked at Xie Tian curiously.
Xie Tian shook his head and stared at Gao Meijuan and said: "Then let's just make it clear, even if there is no war, the life of the common people is still not easy, rent your family's field, pay your family's rent, this year is busy and you will not starve to death, I am afraid that you will not see meat once a year, how good can this day be?" ”
The groom, who was leading the horse in front of him, couldn't help but sigh softly, full of sadness, and his voice became a little louder, which reached Gao Meijuan's ears.
Gao Meijuan glanced at the back of the groom, was silent for a moment, looked at Xie Tian and said, "Natural selection of the fittest survives, this shouldn't be blamed on our family, right?" ”
Xie Tian hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "There is nothing wrong with the survival of the fittest, the world will never be fair, and the law of the jungle will not change anywhere." However, the means of competition must be fair in order to convince others. ”
Gao Meijuan stiffened: "Our family didn't do anything harmful, and my father calculated carefully to save the current family business." ”
Xie Tian looked up to the sky and smiled: "Some things may not be hurtful to the heavens and reason, or even justified, but for others, they may be bullying." Otherwise, tell me, what are you doing with such a high fence? And so many guns prepared? Against whom? Afraid of what? ”
Gao Meijuan was speechless.
Yes, why did our family build such a high girth?
Coming out of the fence, it seems that few people outside have kindness to our family.
Xie Tian continued: "To leave a way for others to live is to leave a way for yourself to live." You're smart and should know what I mean. ”
Gao Meijuan was silent for a long time, looked at Xie Tian and said, "You are pro-communist." ”
Thank you for a smile: "Maybe." ”
Gao Meijuan looked at Xie Tian: "Are you really Xie Baoqing?" ”
Xie Tian looked at Gao Meijuan and asked, "Otherwise?" ”
Gao Meijuan closed her mouth speechlessly, do you need to have such insight to be a bandit these days?
The convoy immediately attracted people's attention when it entered Dagu Town, and only Gaojiaweizi would have such a large battle of the caravan within a radius of dozens of miles.
For the Gao family, the people are envious, jealous and hateful, and dare not speak out.
People have the right to have money and guns, but they can't afford to mess with them.
The convoy marched straight down the street in the direction of Changlong Silk Village, Gao Meijuan sat on the grain stack and curiously looked at the bells and whistles of anti-Japanese slogans posted on both sides of the street, guessing that these slogans should be posted by the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army loves to do this work.
Seeing a lot of people gathered in front of Changlong Silk Village from a distance, Gao Meijuan couldn't help but ask strangely: "Why are there so many people on the street?" ”
Xie Tian glanced at Gao Meijuan and said, "I haven't told you yet, Changlong Silk Village is my industry, and now I am recruiting soldiers here." ”
"Your estate?" Gao Meijuan looked at Xie Tian unexpectedly and asked, "Who are you that boss lady Tang Wan'er?" ”
Gao Meijuan and Erniang are frequent visitors to Changlong Silk Village, and they are very familiar with Tang Wan'er.
Xie Tian smiled: "Cheap one, what, you know?" ”
Gao Meijuan was stunned for a moment and giggled: "It turns out that you are the one Wan'er said to be the boss of doing big business in the provincial capital, Xie Baoqing of Heiyun Village, she deceived all of us." ”
Xie Tian smiled: "I asked her to say that." ”
When such a large group of carriages came, the people gathered at the gate of the silk village naturally noticed it.
Tang Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xie Tian riding on a tall horse, a smile bloomed on her face, and she greeted Tie Dan one after the other.
Tie Dan ran fast, took a step ahead to catch Xie Tian and grabbed the reins, raised his head and smiled at Xie Tian: "Godfather, I was planning to go to Gao's house to look for you." ”
Xie Tian jumped off the horse and slapped Tie Dan on the top of the head, and scolded with a smile: "Forgot again? Called the head of the regiment. ”
"Yes, Captain."
Xie Tian looked at Tang Hao'er and smiled slightly: "I'm back." ”
Tang Wan'er smiled: "It's good to come back, there have been a lot of refugees here, and now two pots of porridge have been released, it is estimated that more people will come before dark, Xiaoman and a few of them are cooking porridge." ”
Xie Tian looked at the refugees sitting on the ground on both sides of the street, and nodded: "Cook the porridge thicker, I brought back the grain, a hundred stone sticks, enough to last for a while." ”
There were too many people on the street, and it was impossible for Tang Wan'er to make too intimate movements with Xie Tian, but she still couldn't help but pull Xie Tian's hand and smile at Xie Tian.
Being able to bring back the grain from Gao Kuirong, Tang Wan'er knew that Xie Tian must have used some means, but as long as Xie Tian could come back safely, it would be fine.
At this time, an unpleasant voice came from the side, and Gao Meijuan walked towards Tang Wan'er with a straight face: "Wan'er, you deceived me so hard, you never told me that you are in charge of Heiyun Village Xie Baoqing." ”
Tang Wan'er smiled calmly and took Gao Meijuan's hand: "If Sister Meijuan knew that I was in charge of Xie Baoqing, I am afraid that I would not have come to my silk village, I am reluctant to lose you, a big customer, so I can only hide it." ”
Gao Kuirong is very sorry for himself, but he is very generous to this eldest girl, and he wants the stars not to pick the moon, not to mention that Gao Kuirong also thinks that the women in the family dress beautifully to raise their faces, and they will throw a few dollars every once in a while for the two wives and Gao Meijuan to buy clothes and jewelry, and Gao Meijuan has become Tang Wan'er's regular customer.
Xie Tian ignored the two women, turned to Tie Dan and asked, "How many soldiers have we recruited now?" ”
Tie Dan replied: "Twelve, counting me, a total of thirteen people." ”
Xie Tian snorted: "Go and call all the people who are okay to carry the grain." ”
"Gotcha", Tie Dan cheered and turned around and ran into the silk village, and didn't take a group of men out with a lot of effort, looking at these men's skinny and ragged appearance, there was no need to guess that these soldiers were recruited from refugees.
Hearing that it was to carry food, the eyes of these refugee soldiers were full of green light, and they had already rushed up without commanding, just like grabbing food, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly drove the horses with handlebars, for fear of startling the horses.
Not only these refugees, but also those who sat on the ground on both sides of the street came to help, as long as they had the strength to stand up.
A woman understood the relationship between Xie Tian and Tang Wan'er, and pulled the two children to Xie Tian and knelt down and kowtowed to Xie Tian according to the two children, crying silently: "Thank you to the good man for taking care of our stuttering, our mother's life is given by the good man, remember the appearance of the good man, and in this life, I will repay the good man for saving his life." ”
Thank God, how can I stand the kneeling of others, and hurriedly stretched out my hand to help, but before this lady could pick it up, a large number of old and weak women and children knelt down next to her, and followed the kowtow and shouted the great good.
Gao Meijuan looked at Xie Tian who was kneeling down by a group of people with a black line.
The big bandits have become great benevolents, did I hear them wrong?
Gao Meijuan took Tang Wan'er's small hand and asked in a low voice, "What did you do?" ”
Tang Wan'er smiled bitterly and pointed to the shed erected on the side of the entrance of the silk village: "Shi Congee, thank you Sister Meijuan, if it weren't for your family's food, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to last long." ”
Gao Meijuan looked at the porridge shack crowded with many refugees in surprise, and saw Gao Erxiao and another person carrying a bucket of porridge out of the silk village, and on the other side of the silk village was a recruiting office with a big red flag, which was also surrounded by many people.
Gao Meijuan felt that her brain was a little insufficient, Xie Baoqing gave porridge, which subverted her cognition.
Xie Tian finally helped up the old and weak women and children kneeling in front of him one by one, hugged his fists and said to everyone: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am not a good person, I am a famous bandit in this radius of a hundred miles, my name is Xie Baoqing, I have done a lot of evil before, today I Xie Baoqing is here to announce that from now on, the previous Xie Baoqing is dead, and the future Xie Baoqing is to atone for the previous Xie Baoqing." I Xie Baoqing is here to assure you that as long as I have food in my bowl, you will inevitably have porridge in your bowl to drink, let's tighten our belts together, as long as we survive this winter, we will be fine at the beginning of spring next year. ”
"Okay", the neighbors who were watching the bustle on the side shouted hello.
Li Chunxiang squeezed in from outside the crowd with a man who carried the burden and chuckled: "I am full of incense and follow the lively building, and send some pickles over to serve the villagers with porridge to drink." ”
"Okay", the neighbors applauded loudly again, the neighbors all knew that Li Chunxiang had the final say in Xiangmanlou's business, her old Cui was a stir-fry master, not in charge, this time the neighbors were also impressed by Li Chunxiang.
Two baskets of pickles are not worth a few dollars, but what is worth is the heart.
