Eighteen prohibitions

When he was 15 years old, his father suddenly received a notice from his superiors that he wanted to go outside and continue to lead the army to fight.

My father lamented: Ten years of life and death are boundless, and I haven't touched the barrel of a gun for a long time.

The grandfather comforted: Don't be too pessimistic, war doesn't necessarily kill people, and dead people don't necessarily kill you.Besides, as you said, there are many women in the mountains.

Father bowed his head: This time is different.

Grandfather: Why is it different?

Father: I'm going to Hongcheng to fight bandits this time. There are no women in Hongcheng.

Grandpa didn't believe it: Hongcheng is so big, how could there be no woman?

Father: All the women in the city were snatched away by bandits.

Grandfather: It's impossible to take away all of them. The older and uglier ones will always be kept.

Father: Grab them all.You don't know, there are also older and uglier bandits.

Grandfather: Wouldn't it be fine for you to defeat the bandits and then snatch them back?

Father: The problem is, it's not easy to fight this time.

Grandfather: Why is it hard to fight?

Father: The higher-ups only sent me a battalion of soldiers, and the bandits are a mountain.

Grandfather: Wouldn't that mean going to die.

Father: Wouldn't that mean going to die.

Grandfather: Why don't you go?

Father: If you don't go, you will be disobeying the military order. Not only will I die, but the whole family will die.

Grandfather: In that case, I will not force you to stay.

Father looked up to the sky and sighed, dejected.

When my father left home for a long journey, everyone cried together.

At the farewell banquet, the atmosphere was intense and mournful.

Father blessed his relatives one by one, and then accompanied his grandfather to drink until he was very drunk.

I think there is still a deep father-son relationship between father and grandfather.

In fact, the grandfather also seemed to have a bleak later life. Once the father left, none of the sons were in front of him.

When the adjutant drove to pick him up, his father said with bubbles in his mouth, don't be sad, don't be sad, the worst is death, and my licorice is still a good man after 18 years.

Huang He is gone forever, and Bai Yun is full of leisure.

Oh, I forgot to tell everyone that my father's name is Licorice.

The weather is getting cooler, and I guess autumn is coming.

The school put the winter vacation ahead of schedule, about five months ahead of schedule.

It’s okay not to have a holiday. Everyone is rumoring that the Japanese are about to invade the city. It is said that the Japanese are very cruel, and they will not spare old women and babies when they do bad things.

So the school is in chaos, and the whole city is going crazy.

Not long after, another prophet announced that the Japanese devils would attack the city in three days.

As soon as he said a word, the whole people were shocked.

The county magistrate hurriedly ordered people to inquire about the prophet's residence, and then visited the thatched hut three times, asking him to come out of the mountain, predicting good and bad luck, and solving problems.

Prophet: I'm hungry, let's have some food first.

The county magistrate immediately arranged delicious meals for him.

The county magistrate was dubious: Is the story about the Japanese true?

The Prophet said while eating: It is true, it is true.

The county magistrate Chenghuang became frightened: so what should I do?

The Prophet showed confidence at this time: How many troops are there in our county now?

County magistrate: Thirty thousand.

Prophet: Tell the truth.

County magistrate: [-].

Prophet: Don't lie to me.

County magistrate: Five thousand.

Prophet: I'll give you another chance.

County magistrate: Eight hundred.

The Prophet shook his head: Not necessarily so.

The county magistrate wiped off his sweat and told the truth: they were all gone, and there was none left.

The prophet shook his head like a rattle, muttering something in his mouth: Being an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, what a crime.

The county magistrate was frightened: I hope you can save me.

The prophet stroked his beard and said loudly: Do you want to prevent the county town from being trampled on?

The county magistrate paused: I want to, I dream about it, I am so anxious to death.

Prophet: I have a better plan.

County Magistrate: Please speak, sir.

Prophet: But-

County Magistrate: But what?

Prophet: Do you still have pork loin, two more plates!

County magistrate: ...

That night, the county magistrate drove the Prophet into a restaurant recognized as the most luxurious in the city, where he served chicken, duck, fish, and delicious wine.

Satiated with wine and food, the county magistrate asked: What is the best policy?

The Prophet used a toothpick to pick out a piece of shredded meat from the mouth, and then put it back into his mouth to chew: it was actually very simple, and the chiefs of the previous brother counties all did this.

The county magistrate was not ashamed to ask: How did you do it?

Prophet: It doesn't cost much, just make a sun flag and put it on the tower and everything will be fine.

The county magistrate was not angry but happy: It makes sense.Come on, make your husband into a sun flag and put it on the top of the city tower.

The Prophet was instantly ashes.

An hour later, the Prophet turned into a flag of the sun and was hung on a high city tower to sacrifice his life for the country.

When my grandfather told the story, he laughed so hard that he couldn't control himself.

Grandpa said that the county magistrate also sought medical treatment in an emergency. There are no prophets in this world, and the words of those who beat the autumn wind should not be easily believed.

Mother asked, would the Japanese really want to come?

Grandfather: I don't think so.

Mother: Today is the last day of the prophet's prophecy. It is better to believe in everything than to believe in nothing. Let's avoid it first.

Grandfather: It is said that the Japanese are the most principled. If you don't provoke him, he will not provoke you either.

Just as he was talking, there were several rumbling cannons outside, and everyone held their breaths and pricked up their ears vigilantly.

Then came a few earth-shattering cannon shots.

The brothers shouted, the devils are attacking the city, the devils are attacking the city!

Grandfather was stunned, his mouth was opened wide, and he didn't react for a while.

The yard was full of chickens and dogs, and the servants scattered and hid everywhere, all of them lost their usual manners.

Mother said, what should I do?

The grandfather came back to his senses, and after a little thought, he showed the demeanor of the head of the family.

Grandfather said loudly: "Listen, servants of the Gan family, the Japanese invaded and the current situation has changed. I will fire everyone today. Those who are willing to go home will come to me to receive this month's wages. Those who are willing to stay will perform their duties." , don't move around.I will guarantee your personal safety.

Soon, tranquility was restored in Nuo Da's courtyard.

The grandfather gathered the family members together, gave a few words of relief, then opened a secret room, sent everyone in, and inquired for news by himself.

This basement is cramped and gloomy, and the twenty or so of us squeezed in is very depressing, like sardines in a can.

At this time, my brothers and I showed unprecedented unity, standing in a row hand in hand, upright and fearless.

The surrounding walls vibrated slightly, and I felt that everyone was afraid and everyone was pretending to be dead.

Because in everyone's imagination, the Japanese devils have already become a scourge that the people can't avoid, they are cruel and surly, and they do all kinds of evil.

We are all looking forward to the return of our grandfather.

An hour passed, and grandfather did not come back.

The eldest brother said: Grandfather has poor legs, maybe he just arrived at the city gate and is learning around.

Two hours passed, and grandfather did not come back.

The second brother said: Grandpa is not very eloquent. Maybe he will ask about the first person’s family background, and then ask about the person’s age, height, name, gender, education, occupation, future pursuit, spouse selection criteria, home address, Contact information, and finally asked about the current battle situation ahead and how people are coping.As a result, time was delayed.

Three hours passed and my grandfather did not come back.

The third brother said: Grandfather is mentally ill. He may have been robbed by gangsters on the way home. Grandfather would not say a word and drew his sword. However, after [-] rounds of fighting, he found that he was not the opponent of tall and mighty enemies, so he gave up. After fighting, he acted wisely in a hurry, and ran to the police station for help in the opposite direction, but the police all slipped away.He was so disappointed that he had no choice but to rush home slowly.

Four hours passed, and my grandfather did not come back.

The fourth brother said: Grandfather is not in good health, and his constipation may recur on the way back. Looking around, he finally found a toilet. With a loud cry, ouch, I forgot about the children at home!Blaming himself endlessly, he hurriedly identified the direction, and rushed home like a rabbit.

Five hours passed.Zu still hasn't come back.

I said, "Grandfather's eyesight is not good. Maybe he lost his way while walking. Calling every day should not work, and the ground is not working. I have no choice but to stay where I am and wait for a kind person to show up and take him away." come home.

Six hours passed.

Grandpa still never came back.

Everyone hadn't eaten for a long time, and they were already starving. Although they were impatient to wait, everyone was on guard against what might happen if they stepped out of the door, and they might be shot to pieces.

I said: Brother, are you afraid?

Big Brother: Don't be afraid.

I said: Then why is your right hand trembling all the time?

Brother: Ah, the right hand, I did it on purpose.

I said: Your left hand seems to be shaking more than your right hand.

Brother: Let you find out.I just want to compare which hand is more lively and active!

I said: Then why are the left and right hands of the other brothers moving like you?

Big Brother: Oh, and they're also having a two-handed contest.

Another half an hour passed, and my grandfather was still missing.

The servants in the Gan family began to move around, and the mother couldn't sit still, and kept sighing.

After standing for a long time and sitting for a long time, I felt back pain.

I moved my body, and my brothers also moved their bodies. In a daze, I saw their impatient eyes, looking very scared.

I asked: Brother, are you cold?

The elder brother wrapped the clothes around his body: not cold, not cold at all, just a little hungry.

I said: There are steamed buns in the kitchen, do you want to eat them?

Brother: Great, you were the first to think of me before you went to get the steamed buns.

Me: You misunderstood, I didn't mean that.I'm telling you a secret.

Big Brother: What secret?

Me: You go out to get the steamed buns, and help me get a few by the way.

Brother: Forget it. Although I am very hungry, I can still hold on.

Me: Are you afraid that there will be Japanese villains outside?

Big Brother: Nonsense, I was worried that the steamed buns would not be available, and if someone lost them, it would not be worthwhile to lose both ends.
