Chapter 82

"I really don't know, it sounds very interesting, can you tell me?"

Yang Zhengdong turned his head and said in a low voice.

"It's a bit of a long story. The ancestor of the Huo family in Huo's village is said to be a general of the Ming Dynasty. He was stationed near Cishan, and later he made his home here..."

Wang Dong took them aside and explained the origin of Huojiazhai.

The ancestors of Huojiazhai were low-level military officers of the Ming Empire, and for unknown reasons, they settled down in the current Huojiazhai until now.

Because it is a family of military and martial arts, the people of Huojiazhai respect martial arts, and it is the most combative and capable village among the ten miles and eight villages.

In the chaotic era, there were a few leaders who integrated the nearby villages, and Baojing'an Township could be regarded as protecting one side.

When Japan invaded the war, the little devils launched a big raid in the vicinity, causing disasters in all directions.

Once the little devils came out again to carry out raids, and brought more than 100 little devils and puppet soldiers over. When everyone heard that the little devils were raiding, they all ran to hide in the mountains.

Who knows why, a young man in Huojiazhai didn't have time to hide, he was caught by the little devil, and he was forced to ask the villagers where they were hiding.

This young man is also hard-boned, no matter how he was tortured by the little devil, he just didn't mention the hiding place of the villagers, and finally let the little devil pick him with a bayonet.

When the little devil left, the Huo family came out of the mountain and found that a young man had died in the village, and the whole village was blown away.

Under the leadership of the patriarch at that time, the Huo family made landmines, earthen guns and spears using the earthen methods handed down from their ancestors.

A month later, the little devil went into the mountain to raid again. Huojiazhai hid the women and children in the mountain, and then ordered [-] men, determined to do something to the little devil.

I found a road that must be passed and planted a minefield. Eight hundred men lay in ambush in the forest. When the little devil passed by, they were blown up to the ground. , Spear to kill.

There were more than 100 devils and dozens of puppet soldiers, which shocked the Northern Command of Dongpu at that time, so it is naturally impossible to count them all.

Then the eight hundred men in Huojiazhai started a guerrilla war with the little devil. This fight lasted for three years, nearly half of the eight hundred men died, and the little devil also lost thousands of lives in this area of ​​Huojiazhai. .

Of course, due to the influence of the Huo family village, men from the surrounding villages also joined in one after another. Among them was Yang Zhengdong's grandfather, Yang Qingyun, who was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old at the time. Zhai married home.

The most tragic thing was that one autumn, the little devil gathered an army of 2000 people and went into the mountain. He was bound to eradicate the Huo family village, but unfortunately, the news leaked ahead of time.

Huojiazhai made preparations, and Yang Qingyun, as a literati, also participated in the whole process of planning, leading two thousand little devil soldiers to Hulugou, burned the entire Hulugou, and buried the two thousand devils in it.

It is said that the fire burned for two days and two nights, and the people in the Hulugou were crying and shouting. After the fire was extinguished, the people who entered to check it were said that they vomited for two days before they got better.

This battle shocked the whole of China. The little devil never dared to enter the mountain since then. The feat of the Huo family's [-] men was only spread after that fire.

Since then, Hulugou has been renamed Kugugou, and the entire Kugugou, which is more than two miles long, has become a forbidden area.

Nowadays, people in these ten miles and eight villages usually walk around when they pass by, and they also say to scare children that if they cry, they will throw you into the dry bone ditch.

The deeds of the eight hundred men of the Huo family are well-known in the generation of Shanxi, Hebei and Yu. Next, disarm and return to the field.

At that time, the Dongying people had surrendered, and the Huo family handed over the mines, soil guns, and various equipment they had seized, saying that there were no invaders, and they just wanted to be honest farmers.

The great man in the east felt the high righteousness of Huo's family village, and immediately wrote a picture of "serve the country with all sincerity" and gave it to Huo's family. It is said that it is still enshrined in the Huo family's ancestral hall.

And this third uncle is the head of the contemporary Huo family. Huo's family background and fearless style have been integrated into the genes from generation to generation, so it is not surprising that he opened his mouth and broke his leg.

Several people each boiled vegetables in a big pot, sat on the table and ate while listening to Wang Dong chatting about the past of Huojiazhai.

I have to say that Wang Dong has been doing business for a while, and his eloquence has become better and better. Chatting is like listening to storytelling, and even Yang Zhengdong is fascinated by it.

"Zhengdong, this big pot of cooking is really authentic, thanks to you for supporting the face of the third uncle!"

The third uncle was holding a bowl of stewed vegetables, with oil still sticking to his beard, and thanked them as he sat next to several people.

"Look at what the third uncle said, we all know it from our relatives, it's all right for me to make a little effort!"

Yang Zhengdong quickly replied with a smile.

"Hey, that's different. Brother Dayong's partner is a college student. If you marry into our village, you can't lose face! If the chef is burned, I will lose face to the city. By the way, I see you It's a lively chat, what are you talking about?"

The third uncle picked up a chopsticks dish and said while eating.

"Let's talk about the eight hundred men in our Huojiazhai fighting against Dongying. You don't know, third uncle, that we Zhengdong don't know about it?"

Wang Dong interjected with a grin.

"That matter, it's all 800 years ago. Didn't your grandfather mention it to you?"

The third uncle asked with a smile.

"No, this is the first time I've heard that my grandfather used to shoot a devil with a gun!"

Yang Zhengdong shook his head and said with a smile, he was really shocked, he didn't expect the old man to have such a glorious history.

"Your grandfather is not a dull scholar. He would be a military adviser of eight hundred men. Without his idea, Kugugou would not have buried those two thousand devils. If he hadn't insisted on going back to the village to teach, maybe he could do it now." What a general, the great man in the East personally invited him to be a staff member at that time!"

"Then why didn't Lord Qingyun go?"

Wang Dong asked in surprise.

"What else could it be? Because of the fire in Kugugou, too many people died. Your grandfather thinks it was all his idea. The little devil is also alive, and his heart is knotted. I said he didn't It should be watched from the mountain, so it would not be a tragedy to burn a living person for two days!"

The third uncle and grandpa explained.

It was only then that Yang Zhengdong realized that the old man had been a teacher all his life incognito, and this was the crux of the matter.

It's no wonder that kind-hearted people feel sad when they see so many people die tragically because of their own ideas, even if they are enemies.

Even in his previous life, Yang Zhengdong lived in a peaceful age, and he always heard that people with "war syndrome" did not have good psychological counseling, unless they were born with a strong mentality, they would leave a shadow.

"It's such a pity, if Lord Qing Yun followed the great man of Dongfang, maybe Zhengdong would be the third generation prince now!"

Wang Dong grunted while eating and felt sorry for the old man.

Yang Zhengdong smiled noncommittally, he was not at all interested in such things as "Three generations of reds" and "princesses".

If he was an old man, he might choose to stay in the mountain village, teach and grow land, which is very good!

Chen Jiahui was quite interested, so he asked the fat man Wang Dong for details. He was born on Hong Kong Island and had no experience of that time, and the news he heard was fragmented. To listen more.

The third uncle also helped to add something. Although he was not very old at the time, he came from that era after all, and the chat was much more real than Fatty Wang's hearsay.

In the afternoon, Zhang Zhengdong directed the people to prepare the ingredients, but this time it was much easier than their family's time. First, because the Huo family arranged more helpers, and second, there were some of these two apprentices.

Wang Chengzhi handles elbows and chickens, while Chen Jiahui can clean up fish and shrimp, as well as the basket of hairy crabs.

Yang Zhengdong just directed and turned around with his hands behind his back, and then told the two how to deal with it, how to prepare the ingredients, whether to fry it in oil or boil it in hot water, it was all a matter of talking.

Wang Dong was able to be the sous chef last time, but this time he could only do odd jobs. He looked at Wang Chengzhi and Wang Chengzhi with resentment, and took his position away.

This time, the ingredients prepared by Huo's family are sufficient, and the quality is very good. It can also be seen from these ingredients that the third uncle and grandpa spent a lot of money on this marriage.

Especially the basket of hairy crabs, each about the size of a bowl, weighs several hundred kilograms, which is definitely the only scorpion shit in Huojiazhai, which is located in the inland mountainous area, and it costs at least a thousand dollars.

Huo Dayong's marriage partner this time was from the old city. At that time, the two were high school classmates, but he was admitted to university, but Huo Dayong failed.

The two of them have withstood the test of time before they finally achieved a positive result. Moreover, the woman's family belongs to the electric power bureau, and her parents are both small leaders.

Originally, I didn't want my daughter to marry into the mountain village, but I couldn't bear the fact that the two children wanted to be together, so I could only nod in agreement.

When I came to see the house last time, they didn't dislike the poverty of the Huo family village, they were very sensible and gave the third uncle and grandpa enough face.

Moreover, after getting married, Dayong would go to the city to find a job and let the young couple save money to buy a house, which made the old man so happy from ear to ear.

So for this wedding, the third uncle was extremely caring, and he had to make sure that the girls in the city could not be wronged.

Who knew that when the fire blocked the way, the third uncle's once fiery temper was immediately aroused, and he was quite restrained in not bringing anyone directly to Dawangzhuang to find trouble with the fire.

A group of people were busy with their work, washing the dishes, lighting the fire, and chopping the firewood. Under Yang Zhengdong's command, they were preparing in an orderly manner.

There was a big pot of cooking at noon, and the whole Huojiazhai also admired Yang Zhengdong, the little chef.

Boiled vegetables in big pots are the main dish of funerals in the village, and everyone is not unfamiliar, but this is the first time I have eaten such delicious boiled vegetables, and it is at least three grades better than those cooked in big fire.

At this moment, I heard congratulations from the gate: "Oh, congratulations! I heard that my nephew got married, so I came here to congratulate you!"

Yang Zhengdong turned his head to look over, and saw a man with a bald head, gray stubble, and a fat body who looked like he was in his fifties came in, and he congratulated his third uncle with his hands clasped.

"Paralyzed, it's really thick-skinned to burn this guy!"

 The loudspeaker yelled: All the villagers of Mengxi Village are paying attention, all the villagers of Mengxi Village are paying attention, give a reward to anyone who likes it!
