Chapter 161 161 [Get Home Alive]

Liu Jiacheng was a hardworking man in Yuanbao Town. He spent a few days unloading goods at this mountain goods store, and then went to that leather store to move leather for two days.

Although the money he earns is not too much, he is the only one left in the whole family in the Guandong, and the whole family is not hungry when one person is full.If you don't think about the future, these little days can be regarded as leisurely.

On this day, after receiving the wages for the past few days from Chun Hesheng's accountant, Liu Jiacheng was going to the tavern to drink some wine to satisfy his hunger. By the way, he heard the story of the sharpshooter Yuan Pengfei told by the scholar to satisfy his spiritual needs.

While humming a ditty, a beggar in ragged clothes and dirty body blocked his way, and he asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

"Brother, I'm asking you, is Yuan Pengfei in this town?" the beggar asked respectfully.

This beggar is Chen Letong who came all the way to the east of the Guandong. This is the fourth passerby he asked. The first three people said that they had never heard of this person.

But he clearly remembered that before leaving, Yuan Pengfei said that he was going to Yuanbao Town in Sanjiangkou.

He had worked so hard to come here, if he still couldn't find Yuan Pengfei, and couldn't find out the whereabouts of her sister, he really wanted to die.

Liu Jiacheng looked him up and down, and became more vigilant in his heart, "Little brother just came to Yuanbao Town?"

"Yes, I just came here today." Chen Letong replied without thinking.

"Then who is this Yuan Pengfei?"

"He saved my sister and is my benefactor."

"Really? Then I can take you to find him, come with me!" Liu Jiacheng said with a half-smile, and led him to the side door of the tavern.

"Boom~boom~, boom"

There were two knocks on the door, one long and one short, and the man inside shouted, "Who, what's the matter?"

"Brother Zhang family, I am Xiao Chengzi! There is a man who wants to marry Mr. Yuan."

The door opened with a creak, but instead of the cheerful gatekeeper, they were greeted by two broadswords and four black muzzles.

Chen Letong was startled. Was he entering a den of thieves?

But before he could react, the two men went up and knocked him down, and took him in.The leading man snorted coldly, "If you dare to seek revenge on our Master Yuan, why don't you seek death in another way? Search for me!"

Chen Letong heard that they seemed to have misunderstood something, and hurriedly shouted for grievances, "Brother, I am really not out for revenge, I just came to find someone, Yuan Pengfei is my benefactor!"

A man searched his whole body, except for dozens of copper coins and two dry steamed buns, there was no sharp knife for killing.

The leading man let go of his guard and ordered to his subordinates: "You guys watch him for me, I'll report to my elder brother first."

In fact, there is a reason why they are so vigilant.

Blocking people's way of making money is like killing your parents, why should Yuan Pengfei stop blocking people's way of making money!In the past six months or so, he has killed almost [-] bandits, and many bandits have formed blood feuds with him.

To be able to escape from his hands, besides luck, there must be some strength.These people either came to revenge alone, or formed an alliance and planned secretly to take revenge.

Chen Letong's routine of looking for relatives and then violently attacking people when he sees them has already happened before.At that time, these subordinates thought they had met the truth, and they didn't dare to offend them a little, so they invited him in respectfully.

If Yuan Pengfei hadn't known what was going on with him and alerted him in advance, he might have succeeded that time.

Since then, those responsible for security have all undergone special security training.Except for those few familiar faces, it was impossible for anyone else to come in without passing inspection.

However, this time it really happened!
"Chen Letong, is that you?"

Yuan Pengfei really couldn't recognize him.This thin beggar with two half-foot-long scars on his face, is he the same as the gentle and bookish little brother he has seen before?
"It's me, Chen Letong from Longkou Port. Brother Yuan, how is my sister?" Chen Letong asked anxiously.

"Your sister is doing well, she's in the countryside with my godmother!" Yuan Pengfei also knew his anxiety, and quickly ordered: "Zhang Hu, take two brothers to pick her up in person, and bring my sister Yaofei back. Tell her by the way that her brother is back."

Just when he was about to arrange for Chen Letong, he saw Chen Letong suddenly collapsed on the ground and fainted.

His younger sister is his only spiritual pillar and the reason why he has come here.Now hearing the news that my sister is safe and sound, my tense spirit is relaxed, and I can't hold it anymore.

After a long time, when Chen Letong woke up again, his lovely sister was already sitting by his bed, calling him "brother" affectionately.

"Brother, how do you feel?"

Sitting up with Chen Yaofei's support, Chen Letong looked at his sister's face and smiled: "It's okay, there's nothing wrong with it. But you, brother Yuan's family, have treated you well, and your thin face has turned into a round face." .”

Chen Yaofei wrinkled her cute little nose, "Yes, brother Yuan's family are very good to me. My godmother and sister-in-law take special care of me. I'm almost turning into a fat pig. But brother, how did you come here this year? Yes, you must have suffered a lot."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Chen Letong said perfunctorily.

In the past year, he has experienced a lot and learned a lot, but more is the suffering along the way. He is reluctant to talk about these experiences with his sister, because there is no more benefit than making her worry.

I remember that when we just parted, the two became one, and the dry food we carried was a little richer.

But just after walking north for a few days, when he was resting in a forest, he met those guys who turned from deserters into bandits in order to survive.

They had no other purpose, nor would they go on a killing spree. They were just robbing the refugees of their luggage and food so that they could continue to survive.

Chen Letong was lucky. Other deserters acted as a barrier, and he escaped the catastrophe with his luggage on his back.

It's just that luck is not always on his side. In the next few robberies, one happened to meet the robber head-on.

The food in the bag is life-saving, how could he let the robbers snatch it.So he stood up to resist, and was brutally beaten by several robbers. If it wasn't for the robbers and other robbery targets, he would have sold his life there.

Dragging his bruised body, he gritted his teeth and continued on the road.Without dry food and luggage, he could only put down his dignity and beg, and walked to the Kanto step by step.

During this period, he has seen the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and also understood what it means to be rich in wine and meat, and to have frozen bones on the road.

There was an old woman who gave him half of her meal without expecting anything in return.Some kind-hearted people gave him two extra meals if they asked him to do odd jobs.

But more is the indifferent look. There are too many people begging along the way, and no one's food comes for nothing. It is impossible to save everyone if you save one.The number of times he hit a wall is dozens of times, hundreds of times the number of successes.

As for the more abominable ones, it's not like he hasn't seen them before.

The local ruffian likes to bully them who have fled from other places. At most, he will receive a few words of abuse when he is alone, so it will be fine if he is careful.

But those guys who brought their wives and children to the east of the Guandong had suffered a lot. He once saw a handsome girl being snatched away by bullies.

As for what happened later, he didn't know, but it wouldn't be too good to think about it.

There are also wealthy families who give out steamed buns. Maybe the owner is doing good deeds out of charity.But in fact, the bad guys who do things have a dark conscience. They throw the white steamed buns on the ground like feeding dogs and stand aside to watch the fun.

These deserters who had been begging for food all the way to the east of the Guandong to beg for their lives would have starved to death long ago while clinging to their dignity. If they were able to beg for food and come here alive, their dignity would have been thrown to the ground and trampled to pieces.

The dirt-stained steamed buns are also scratched, which can be regarded as enough jokes for these dog legs.

Later, he was arrested by the government and worked as a coolie for a period of time. He ate like pig food, all wheat bran and millet mixed with sand. Fortunately, he escaped without strict supervision.

He also got a few coppers from well-meaning people for begging, and was beaten by those beggars who ganged up together. The reason was that this was their territory, and begging had rules.

By the time he passes Shanhaiguan, it will be almost winter.In order not to be frozen to death, he worked as a short-term laborer for a period of time in a decent family and survived the winter.

There is work to do, food to eat, a place to live, and a few wages to save. This is already a good life.If he were alone, he would definitely stay here and never leave.

However, he still couldn't let go of his sister. Is she doing well, is she suffering?
Chen Letong was worried, and continued on the road after saving enough money.

But in this world, if something happens on the road, it would be abnormal!
Encountering a horse bandit on the way, he turned into a beggar again.But the most dangerous ones are not the horse bandits, but the Japanese and Russians, because they kill people without scruples.

By accident, he followed a group of refugees into the security zone of the Russian garrison.The Russian soldiers were not polite, and directly regarded them as Japanese spies, and hunted them down like chasing rabbits.

Bullets were flying everywhere, and many refugees were shot in the back and fell to the ground.Subsequently, the Cossack cavalry chased after them with their sabers waving, and they attacked everyone regardless of age or sex!
Chen Letong rushed into the forest along the way, and the Cossack cavalry thought it was troublesome to chase them, and they didn't bother to chase them, which allowed him to escape.

That time, among dozens of refugee teams, only a few lucky ones escaped, and the rest became Russian soldiers.The Russian soldiers will record a sum in the credit book, how many spies killed the Japanese on a certain day and month.

He was unfortunate and suffered so much.

But he was also lucky, at least he was able to see his relatives alive.

Those who were less fortunate than him had already become corpses along the way, grave bags.
