Chapter 174: Return to Kowloon Town
Collecting the guns and ammunition, Li Shucheng didn't even let go of the other equipment on the ship, and dismantled everything that could be used and brought it to the island.
"Spratly Island is almost in the middle of the sea, and since there are South and Vietnamese troops here, other islands and reefs have to be defended. Jiang Mingyue said, "It seems that we have to inspect the islands and reefs." ”
"Oh, I wanted to rest, but now I don't think I have time. Li Shucheng complained, "Why are these damn Yue Guo monkeys so blind? Can't they come back after a while, let's have a vacation?"
"People don't know. Jiang Mingyue said with a smile, "Besides, even the things of invasion and occupation and land have been done, even if they know that you want to go on vacation, they will wait?
There are many islands and reefs scattered along the sea boundary on the side of the country, and two people can't defend them, so they can only be cleaned over and over again.
"This is not a solution, relying on the two of us can only clean it over and over again, and it seems that we still have to notify the military. Li Shucheng said.
"I had this idea for a long time, but I didn't say it when I saw you kill with pleasure. Jiang Mingyue smiled, "I didn't expect you to wake up so soon." ”
"Brains are innate. Li Shucheng said, "You can't laugh at people just because you have a good brain." A wise man thinks a thousand times, and there is still one mistake!"
"I didn't laugh!" Jiang Mingyue said with a smile.
"I see your smile the same way you look at me when you were in the jungle of Burma. Li Shucheng sighed and said, "You can't laugh when you speak, you should be tactful, and don't even say that you have this intention, just go along with it." You say that, I feel like my IQ is crushed. ”
"I just like you. Jiang Mingyue said softly, "This makes me feel very relieved." ”
"If you don't have a good brain, you can't escape from the palm of your hand?" Li Shucheng said stiffly, "I just don't like to use my brain to think, otherwise a little idea will definitely surprise you! ”
"How do you know I'm not going to do it?" Jiang Mingyue chuckled.
"Uh......" Li Shucheng was speechless.
Jiang Mingyue comforted: "I'm lying to you! Where are there so many calculations, if I don't like you, then I will let you do whatever you want." ”
"But how do I feel that I am still calculated by you?" Li Shucheng said with a sigh.
Jiang Mingyue didn't speak, just leaned on Li Shucheng. Although he was only ignorant at that time, how could there be any love at first sight? It was only after some understanding that he was already very clear about his family, and after getting along for a long time, the feelings were deep. Otherwise, if she doesn't agree with herself, her father will follow her.
Li Shucheng's notice was very timely, and when the warship rushed over, it happened to meet the other side sending ships into the sea again.
In the face of an invasion, how could they not fight back? They have never been afraid of fighting, whether it is North Korea, on the battlefield, or on the northeastern border where there is now friction, how can such a small role be seen? After a battle, two of the enemy's ships sank, and the other several ships suffered heavy losses, and they fled the battlefield in disarray. After that, I didn't dare to provoke again. Despite this, Li Shucheng and the two still haven't left, and it is not the only country that has the idea of fighting here, and it cannot give up its achievements.
But the two didn't have to wait long, because a simple map they left behind on Spratly Island was discovered by the army. They looked at this map and found that it was marked with some mineral resources, as well as a sentence specially written by Li Shucheng: Today, with the outbreak of population, the competition for resources will become increasingly fierce, and marine resources will be the focus of competition in the future. Because of this map, gradually the army began to send troops to be stationed on some islands.
At the foot of Jiulong Mountain, Chunping, after 77 years, the two finally returned here. Looking up, where the two lived back then, the house was still there, but it had become a tiled house. The number of houses has also changed from three to fifteen or sixteen. There are many people working in the fields, both adults and children.
"I don't know if we'll be able to stay here. Li Shucheng said.
After speaking, he walked to the village, and Li Shucheng looked left and right while walking.
The two approached, and the people who were working naturally spotted them. Seeing that it was a stranger, one of them, a middle-aged man in his forties, came out of the field and asked, "Two of you, Zhi, is there anything you have to do with our production team?"
"The two of us came here to take a look. Li Shucheng said, "There are mountains and rivers here, and there are paddy fields, but there are no villages nearby, and there is such a large tea forest on the hillside behind, which is very good!"
"Of course!" When the middle-aged man heard Li Shucheng's praise, he smiled proudly: "We are on the production team, but the production team has the best life in the brigade! Even in the three difficult periods, we are not very hungry, and we all rely on this paddy field!"
As he was talking, an old man came over with a cigarette stick and said while wrapping tobacco leaves: "That's not thanks to Mr. Li! If he hadn't bought this land, opened paddy fields here, and distributed it to us, where would ......we be now? You...... You are Teacher Li!" the old man approached and looked up at Li Shucheng, his face full of excitement.
"Dad, this is not Mr. Li! If that Mr. Li is alive, he will be more than 100 years old, how can he be so young. The middle-aged man turned his head and said to the old man, and said to Li Shucheng, "By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is." ”
The old man didn't care what his son was talking about, and interjected: "You look exactly like Teacher Li, are you a descendant of Teacher Li?"
"I'm that Teacher Li!" Li Shucheng thought to himself. The name he used here back then was Li Shucheng, but naturally he can't use it now. The name Li Jinshui, which was used during the war, was based on the name of his previous life, and Yuanshan, literally, is not near the water! Now that he is back here, he simply changes back to the name of his previous life. So he replied, "My name is Li Yuanshan." ”
"I just said he wasn't the same Teacher Li from decades ago!" said the middle-aged man.
"Li Yuanshan?" the old man said, "Are you a descendant of Teacher Li?"
"It's not. I did know this place from him, though. I knew him, and he was a respected elder. I heard him talk about it, so I came and have a look. Li Shucheng said. This reason is really hard to make up, and I can't say that I am my descendant.
"Teacher Li is okay now?" the old man asked.
"He's dead. Li Shucheng said, "Before leaving, you left this thing for me." As he spoke, he took out the title deed of the year.
"Go...... Passed away?" the old man was stunned when he heard Li Shucheng's words, and then his tears couldn't stop staying, and he muttered, "Why didn't you come back to see it after so many years...... There has been no news from you, and when there is news, it is already heaven and earth. ”
After being sad for a while, the old man picked up his mood, took the title deed, took a closer look, and said, "Well, Xingyi County...... Kowloon Town ...... Spring Ping is the title deed here. ”
The old man stopped doing his work, explained to his son, and took Li Shucheng and the two to the house where the two lived back then.
When he came to the door, the old man took out the key from his body and said with emotion: "When there was a landslide on the mountain, several of our families were buried by falling rocks, but Mr. Li rescued me and let me live here." "At that time, he said that there was an earthquake in the distance, and they went to the disaster relief, but they didn't expect to go and never come back. "He is the Zhai Fangming who Li Shucheng rescued back then, and he is seventy-four years old this year.
The door opened, and the old man explained while leading the two to visit. The contents are very well preserved, even the furniture decoration has not changed.
Teacher Li came from there, and the few three or four old people left in the village rushed over after receiving the news. Li Shucheng told them about their teacher Li one by one. Of course, this is made up.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Li is such a good person and has no offspring. An old man sighed, "I said that they were not young back then, why didn't they have children." ”
Then Li Shucheng also changed his own story, and several old people burst into tears when they heard it, and after scolding the four people, they let the two stay here with peace of mind, and then beckoned their families to send quilts and food.
After sending everyone away, Jiang Mingyue said with a smile: "This story is really hard to make up, even I made it up to death." "She doesn't have to make it up herself, no one knows her name.
"Uh! I won't need the name Li Shucheng in the future, and it will soon be equivalent to 'dead'. Li Shucheng said, "From today on, my name will be Li Yuanshan." ”
The next day, Li Shucheng and the two followed Zhai Fanghong, that is, Zhai Fangming's son, and the captain of the Chunping production team to the brigade to open a certificate, go to the company, and settle the household registration. This is very easy, and it is the grace left by Li Shucheng before.
During this period, the management of household registration was still relatively loose, and many locals did not have a household registration, and they waited until they got married to apply for a marriage certificate.
In the evening, Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue found Zheng and Xiao and played music.
"What kind of song is this?" asked the young man, listening to the music. At Zhai Fangming's house, his grandson Zhai Fang and Zhai Fangping and granddaughter Zhai Fanglan also asked.
Zhai Fangming listened attentively for a while and said: "This is "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", when I was studying in the school, Mr. Li often played it in music class. ”
Li Shucheng and the two have not played music for many years, and as the music gradually immersed themselves in the night view of the Spring River, this feeling came out with the music, infecting all the people in the village, listening attentively one by one, unconsciously with a suitable expression on their faces.
After listening to the music for a while, I woke up from the artistic conception of the music one by one, and felt indescribably comfortable inside and out.
"This song is so magical! it's so addictive!" Zhai Fanglan said in amazement.
"It's not magical, a lot of people can play it, but it's not so infectious. Zhai Fangming said with a smile, "This is a person who plays the piano with superb skills, and his skills are almost indescribable, he is simply entering the Tao, just like Teacher Li back then." ”
