Back to the Northeast 1970

After such a fuss, all the people from Dazao rushed over after hearing the news. Fortunately, the fight was over, otherwise they would have rushed to Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun's posture, and both of them would have been unable to eat.If it's a fight between children, it's okay. It's not a big deal for a half-grown child to have a conflict, but the situation is different now. Two half-grown boys beat up an adult, which is not bad.

Shuanzi said earlier that Company Commander Wu is the most in charge here. He followed the crowd to take a look, and then asked Uncle Dong to take everyone to his room.Uncle Dong's eyes turned green with anger, he pressed Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun forward with a beard and staring, and he followed behind cursing: "Why are you doing something during the New Year's Eve, what's wrong with you? I don’t know why I’m so full of food for two days.” Uncle Dong became more and more angry as he scolded, he stepped forward and gave Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun a kick in the buttocks.

It was impossible for Yan Baoshu to stay out of the incident, because he didn't wear socks and shoes, so he had to jump back into the room first, put on shoes and socks, and then tiptoe over.Yan Baoshan can be regarded as a good hand for being beaten, and he didn't suffer any injuries under the hands of two and a half young men who were not serious. If it was serious, his eye sockets were slightly swollen.

Yan Baoshan was also brought to Company Commander Wu's room by Uncle Dong, and just as he stepped in, Lu Xiangbei stared at Yan Baoshan fiercely.Yan Baoshan paused helplessly, then entered the room under Lu Xiangbei's gaze, and then stood side by side with Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun against the wall, ready to wait for the interrogation by Company Commander Wu.

"Don't stare, you're not afraid to stare out your eyes." It's not that Company Commander Wu has never seen someone who is very angry, but Lu Xiangbei... Company Commander Wu was so angry that he smiled back, sat at the table and turned around, holding his right hand. The enamel jar filled with hot tea said, "Tell me why you fought."

Regardless of whether there is a reason for such a fight, the party who strikes first is definitely wrong, and must be severely criticized and educated.Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun lowered their heads, and they couldn't explain why they were squeaking. After a few glances, Company Commander Wu didn't ask them any more. Instead, he changed his target and asked Yan Baoshan, "Then Just say it.” Company Commander Wu opened the lid of the enamel jar, took a sip of hot tea, and then said: “Yan Baoshan, I didn’t see it, you are usually honest and silent, how can you talk to two and a half The older child has started? Tell me what’s going on, be lenient when confessing and be strict when resisting.”

Yan Baoshan stood straight on the sign board, looked ahead and said: "There is a reason for the incident. The person who was pierced with a nail in the stable today is my younger brother. His name is Yan Baoshu. Since I didn't do anything at that time, so..." Yan Baoshan turned his head and glanced at Lu Xiangbei, "So, the two of them want to vent their anger on my brother's behalf, thinking that I'm not worthy of being a brother."

Company Commander Wu was taken aback when he heard that, "What's the matter? The kid with the injured foot is your younger brother?"

"Well, it's my own brother."

Company Commander Wu understood everything at this moment, and slapped the table with his big palm, "It's time to hit." Company Commander Wu stood up with his clothes on, and said aggressively in front of Yan Baoshan, "Comrade Yan Baoshan, I have to take care of this." I criticized you, since that child is your brother, why don’t you know how to care about it? Just a while ago, you could give out your own food when your legs were weak when you passed by hungry, why didn’t it be your brother’s turn? Have you heard about it?"

Yan Baoshan lowered his head in shame, "Company Commander, I was wrong."

"Wrong? You also know that you are wrong?" Company Commander Wu was very angry, "Baoshan, you have been here in our Gada for two years. I know everything about you. Are you a man, especially you are still a man, five feet tall? Why don’t you have any courage at all? People say that a prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, so even if you are a prime minister, you can hold a leaf in your stomach, right?”

Yan Baoshan nodded again and again, "What the company commander said is that I will try to correct my mistakes."

Company Commander Wu sighed, "It's not your mistake, it's just that there is a lump in your heart that hasn't been resolved." Company Commander Wu walked over and patted Yan Baoshan on the shoulder, "Baoshan, listen to my advice, the past is over, Don't always remember, show some man's mind."

Yan Baoshan still nodded, "Yes, I understand."

Seeing this, Company Commander Wu couldn't criticize him anymore, and sighed: "That's your brother, how can you be so hard-hearted." Company Commander Wu sighed bitterly and shook his head, then changed the target of criticism, "And you, the age If you don’t learn well when you are young, you fight and fight, do you want to be hooligans?”

Gu Jun lowered his head and muttered, "Don't we have a reason for everything?"

"Oh, you can do it for a reason?" Company Commander Wu paced back and forth, "No matter what the reason is, it's wrong to hit someone with your hands. Look at you, this Yan Baoshan is as old as your brother no matter what, right? But luckily, I don’t have any manners at all, so I’ve had nothing to eat in the past few years?”

Lu Xiangbei's anger was almost gone now, and he was educated after listening to Company Commander Wu's criticism, "We were wrong."

Company Commander Wu looked at Lu Xiangbei and felt very relieved: "It's good to know that you made a mistake. Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference, but... since this mistake was committed, there is no reason not to punish it. From tomorrow onwards, the two of you A person responsible for cleaning the stables and pigpens for three days, dare to be lazy and get caught for one day, do you hear me?"

"I heard."

Company Commander Wu dug his ears, "Why didn't you have enough to eat? You don't have the energy to speak?"

"I heard it." Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun shouted in unison.

Company Commander Wu returned to the table with satisfaction and sat down, "Okay, all of you get the hell out of here, those who need to heal their wounds, those who should serve the animals, and those who should serve the animals, then you will cause trouble with me in the future, I will let you go around without food. After finishing speaking, Company Commander Wu waved his hand and issued the order to drive away the guests.

Yan Baoshu has been waiting at the door of Company Commander Wu's room. When they came out of the room after training, Yan Baoshu hurriedly jumped over, "Are you alright?"

Lu Xiangbei shook his head, then squinted at Yan Baoshan beside him, "It's all right."

Yan Baoshu looked at Gu Jun again, and after confirming that he was okay, he jumped up to Yan Baoshan, "That... are you okay?"

Yan Baoshan turned his head, he didn't want Yan Baoshu to see his swollen eye sockets, "It's okay."

"It doesn't matter how serious they are. You can see if there are any eggs, boil them and roll them, maybe they will be better."

Yan Baoshan nodded, "Well, I see, your feet..."

Yan Baoshu smiled and said: "It's okay, just raise it for a few days and it will be fine."

"Well, as long as I'm fine, I..." Yan Baoshan really couldn't say the three words "I'm sorry", and finally just gritted his teeth and said: "Then I'll go to work first."

When Yan Baoshan left, Lu Xiangbei looked very angry, "Baoshu, you said that your big brother...why you deserve to be beaten so much."

Yan Baoshu grabbed Lu Xiangbei's arm and smiled, "It's nothing, is he a human being, he has his own choices, not to mention that in my heart, there is no such big brother!" The relationship between people is mutual Well, Yan Baoshan didn't care what happened to Yan Baoshu. Conversely, when Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun beat him, why did Yan Baoshu ever worry about him?

"So, there's no need for you to be so angry." Yan Baoshu was always the best at persuading Lu Xiangbei. He didn't need any special methods, just a few calm words were enough.

Lu Xiangbei sighed, "Okay, this fight was for nothing."

Yan Baoshu smiled and said, "How is it possible, I'm so moved, I remember it all."

Lu Xiangbei resumed his usual manners, and said with a smile, "I was just kidding with you, and I even explained it to me, let's go, I'll carry you back to dinner."

"No, I can just jump and walk, but you have to support me."

The three of them returned to the previous room, and Shuanzi and Zhuzi brought all the food back. Because Yan Baoshu's foot was injured, Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun were punished again, so Shuanzi and Zhuzi were fined after eating. He planned to drive back in a carriage, after all these things had to be reported to the adults at home, and by the way, he could bring some change of clothes when he came back.

The rice on the big stove is not as good as the rice at home. After all, it is all made in a big pot, and the taste is lacking. Shuanzi and Zhuzi hurried back after eating a few mouthfuls, saying that it was late and it was dark and they could not see the road .After seeing off Shuanzi and Zhuzi, Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun sat cross-legged on the table and said, "Is this Chinese cabbage fried well?"

Gu Jun ate his head without raising his eyes, "Well, it's just a little less meaty, and there's no wine."

Zhi Le, who was listening to Yan Baoshu, said, "You think so much, and you still want to drink."

"That's right, it's good to eat something."

Yan Baoshu nodded, "Xiang Bei, where do you think we should sleep at night?"

"The farm should arrange a place for us! If you don't want to fight anything else, you can't let us sleep on the road even if you fight against my uncle." Lu Xiangbei smiled and stuffed a piece of fat into his mouth, "Hey, listen to me Mom said that after this person is injured, he needs to be repaired. We can’t get rid of the pig’s trotters. I’m thinking that after cleaning up the pigpen and stables tomorrow, I’ll go up the mountain to help you catch a roe deer or a pheasant and bring it back to stew. eat."

Gu Jun regained his energy when he heard this, "Hey, I agree with this idea. Let's speed up tomorrow and try to set off at noon."

"You can't go." Lu Xiangbei rejected Gu Jun's proposal, "I'm leaving Baoshan and there is no one around, so you can stay with the farm and take care of Baoshu."

Yan Baoshu chuckled, "Xiang Bei, I just got my feet pierced, let Gu Jun come with you, it's always good to help."

"That doesn't work either. Besides, Gu Jun is too stupid, and he is easy to scare the snakes. I can catch them by myself. That's the decision. No one of you can do it."

After Lu Xiangbei made up his mind on some important decisions, he couldn't pull back even ten bulls, Yan Baoshu and Gu Jun couldn't help him, so he had to agree.That night, Uncle Dong of the farm arranged a dormitory for them. After the three of them lay down early, none of them fell asleep. Needless to mention the plan of catching roe deer and pheasants, Gu Jun was full of strategies about how to carry out the first step after returning to the village with Yan Baoshu.

It is a waste to burn oil by lighting a lamp. It was just after ten o'clock when someone knocked on the door outside and asked to turn off the lights and go to sleep.Lu Xiangbei's hands and feet were nimble, and he jumped off the ground to pull the light rope. After returning to the kang, the three of them didn't say anything, and fell asleep after a while.Early the next morning, Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun went to clean up the pigsty and stables, while Yan Baoshu stayed in the house to study with everyone.At noon, the big stove started cooking, and after filling his stomach, Lu Xiangbei packed a few sneaky tools into his satchel and went up to the mountain by himself.

Yan Baoshu was a little worried, he looked at Lu Xiangbei's leaving figure and asked Gu Jun, "Is it safe in the mountains?"

Gu Jun responded, "It's fine during the day, as long as he doesn't come back in the dark." Then, Gu Jun tilted his head and smiled, "Don't worry, I used to come to the north to play in the mountains, halfway up the mountain. If you catch roe deer and pheasant, don't worry."

Having said that, Yan Baoshu was not at ease at all.

From noon to afternoon, from afternoon to evening, the sky was getting dark and yellow, Yan Baoshu was sitting at the door of the house, drawing the curtains and watching the gate of the farm, waiting and waiting, seeing that most of the curtains had come out, Lu Xiangbei Still did not come back.Yan Baoshu was upset, he casually threw the hooked cabinet curtain aside, and shouted into the room: "Gu Jun, Xiang Bei hasn't come back so far, I'm a little worried, let's go find him."

Gu Jun came to the door, stretched his waist and said, "It's been a while, I'll go, you wait here." Since Lu Xiangbei didn't tell anyone when he went up the mountain, Gu Jun didn't dare to mention it to outsiders. , A person secretly left the farm and went to the mountains.

Yan Baoshu sat on the bench and waited anxiously, but the result was... Gu Jun didn't come back either.At this time it was already dark, Yan Baoshu couldn't sit still anymore, he limped to the dormitory, tied a quilt with a rope and put it on his back, and then he found Yan Baoshan in the farm. I was looking for Uncle Dong, but unfortunately, Uncle Dong didn't know where he went.

"Brother, Xiang Bei and Gu Jun have entered the mountain. I'm worried. I'm going to take a look. Can you tell Company Commander Wu for me and send someone to look for it?"

Yan Baoshan was taken aback, "What are they doing in the mountains?"

"Going to catch roe deer and pheasants."

Yan Baoshan wondered: "Usually people from eight villages do this, so what are you worried about?"

Yan Baoshu was worried, "I went at noon, and I didn't come back at this time, I..." Yan Baoshu was anxious, "Brother, just tell Company Commander Wu for me, and also, help me find two bottles of liquor, I want to use it. "

Yan Baoshan didn't expect that Yan Baoshu would beg him, so he took Yan Baoshu to his room after reacting for a long time, and found two bottles of liquor from the cabinet.Yan Baoshu took the liquor, "Do you have any matches?"

"Ah."

Yan Baoshu picked up the match again, "Brother, then I'll go look for it first, hurry up and look for Company Commander Wu."

"it is good."

Yan Baoshu couldn't care about the pain in his feet anymore, he just hoped to see Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun soon.
