Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 418 Three kneeling
In the early morning, a quiet and tranquil atmosphere enveloped the entire village, with wisps of smoke accompanying the crow of roosters, and a gauze-like mist filling the air.

Awakened by the crowing of colorful roosters, Li Hongbing turned his head sleepily. Shan Xing sat in front of the dressing table, combing his hair and combing the messy hair into smooth strands.

The window with the word "Happy" on it throws in tiny bits of sunlight.

Red balloons and red lanterns are hung on the roof.

"Brother, wake up!" Shan Xing heard the movement coming from the bed, turned around and smiled, all kinds of charm appearing at the same time.

"What happened yesterday? I have no impression at all?" Li Hongbing shook his head.

Mention it.

Shan Xing gave you a helpless look, got up, walked to the bed and sat down. Li Hongbing took advantage of the situation and rested his head on Shan Xing's legs.

Gently pressing Brother Hongbing's temples, Shan Xing said.

"You drank so fiercely with them yesterday that no one could stop you. Brother Dalang, Hongqi, my brother-in-law, and many guests who came to the wedding were all knocked down by you."

Is it so fierce?

How come I have no impression.

Li Hongbing only remembered the first part of the memory, but later he seemed to have gotten drunk and started killing indiscriminately.

On the wedding night, the groom gets himself drunk and leaves the bride alone in the wedding room.

"Sorry, I"

Before he could finish speaking, a white palm was placed over his mouth.

"Brother, I am a mother-in-law, why are you sorry?"

How can a husband ask for a wife like this! !

Li Hongbing's heart felt hot, and he put his arms around Shan Xing's slender waist and pressed gently.

Last night's bridal night was filled with flowers and candles, and I will make up for it this morning.

Outside the window, a group of budgerigars gathered on the roof and shouted happily together, and they also shouted happily inside the house.

The second elder got up and walked out of the room, and vaguely heard the sound of affection coming from his son's bedroom.

The father sighed as if nothing had happened, "Young people are in really good health now, so they have to work hard early in the morning."

"It's good to do it. If you do it earlier, I can have a grandson earlier. Some people don't have the energy to do it, so they only dare to hang out in the small square." My mother gave my father a rollicking look and walked into the kitchen.

Dad's expression was dull for a moment, he looked around guiltily, and muttered in a low voice, "How old are you, what nonsense are you talking about!"

As the eldest sister and the second sister also got up, they couldn't help but blush when they heard the movement in the house. They secretly scolded the younger brother for not paying attention to the time and just wandering around in broad daylight.

Had breakfast.

The sun is on.

The commotion in the bedroom hasn't stopped yet.

The parents really couldn't stand it, so they took Anna to visit the village. The eldest and second sisters also wanted to leave, but there were two drunk men in the house to take care of her, and she was still three months pregnant and needed to rest and not run around.

Unable to walk, the two sisters stayed away from the house and sat under the old oak tree to chat.

"Second sister, do you think San'er also took those Huanyang pills?"

"It must be that harmful thing. He gave a lot to my brother-in-law and Cui Yong a few days ago."

"None of the three of them are good."

The two sisters love and hate Huanyang Pill.

I love its effects, but I hate that it caused me to become pregnant with my second child at the age of 40.

Being laughed at by others for carrying pearls.

until ten o'clock in the morning.

Li Hongbing walked out of the house refreshed and stretched, followed by the dazzling mountain apricot. His eyes were filled with watery tenderness, as if they were a pool of hot springs, which warmed people's hearts.

"You two can do it. You work from 7 to 10 in the morning. It's like a steel knife scraping bones. Don't be like your second brother-in-law. Take it easy." The second sister stood up angrily and advised as a person who has been through it.

Shan Xing's face turned red and she hid behind Li Hongbing, pinching the soft flesh with her hands.

Li Hongbing grinned, pulled Shan Xing into his arms, and said to his two sisters arrogantly.

"Color is like a steel knife for scraping bones. Colorless roads are sparsely populated. My brother-in-law can compete with me. If I hadn't stepped in, I don't know when we would be able to meet my little nephew."

This time it was the two sisters' turn to blush.

He spat at this inconspicuous brother and walked quickly back to the room.

Listening to this brat talk can make people angry.

The two newlyweds were in the kitchen, having their first breakfast after their wedding.

Pack up and prepare to go back home.

According to the custom in the forest area, she had to go back the next day after getting married. She was the only one in Shan Xing's home, so they discussed it and decided to go to Ouyang Hua's house. After all, Yang Gan's mother was the bride's house yesterday.

Li Hongbing carried two bottles of Maotai, cakes, and tea from the warehouse, and went out with Shan Xing.

Perhaps because she was officially married and officially became the daughter-in-law of the Li family, Shan Xing's smile was filled with confidence and she took the initiative to take Li Hongbing's arm.

When I met villagers on the road, they smoked and thanked each other.

Arrive at Ouyang Hua’s courtyard.

Sister-in-law Wang Qian stood at the door to greet her with a smile.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

Shan Xing smiled sweetly, and the two women started chatting, while Li Hongbing ignored them and threw them aside.

Cough cough! !
Li Hongbing deliberately coughed a few times, pretending to be angry and asked, "Where has my uncle gone? He hasn't come out to take over his new son-in-law."

"You still have the nerve to say that you poured a bowl into Lao Ou's mouth. He couldn't hold it back, and he's still lying on the bed." Sister-in-law Wang Qian glared at someone. She suddenly thought of her husband's ugly behavior after being drunk last night, and couldn't help it. Laugh out loud.

Li Hongbing sneered. Yesterday, he was really drunk at the end of the drink. He even drank it. It was probably enough for others.

"Have your godmother gotten up yet? Myolie and I are going to return the gift."

"I woke up early and prepared a table of food. I kept talking about you but you still didn't come back." Sister-in-law Wang Qian pointed to the main room.

Upon hearing this, Shan Xing angrily twisted the wound on Li Hongbing's waist again.

Yeah, yeah, it's all my fault.

Li Hongbing smiled flatteringly.

Carrying the gift, I walked into the yard and saw Yang Ganma standing at the door of the hall, with an apron tied around her waist.

"Godmother, we're back!" Li Hongbing said hello in a loud and carefree voice, and Shan Xing next to him also shyly called her mother.

Seeing the arrival of the two people, the wrinkles on Yang Ganma's forehead seemed to relax at this moment, her eyes had already narrowed into crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth showed a hint of kindness.

"Come back as soon as you come back. What are you bringing your things for? I have everything at home. Come inside and sit down."

After welcoming the two of them into the house, the old man was busy pouring water and putting melon seeds, peanuts and fruits on the table.

Shan Xing and Li Hongbing helped, but the old man gave them a scolding.

When the new son-in-law comes home, how can he get started with work?

Wang Qian's sister-in-law was so envious that she said that she had never enjoyed such treatment when she married Ouyang Hua.

A table full of dishes.

There was only one man, Li Hongbing, and another one was lying in the room wondering when he would wake up.

"Hongbing, do you want to drink?" Yang Ganma took out a bottle of wine. Before Li Hongbing could refuse, Shan Xing quickly stood up and took away the bottle.

"Godmother, we can't let him drink anymore. Look at how drunk the elder brother is."

in fact.

Li Hongbing wanted to drink some. After getting drunk, drinking some recovery wine the next day would help him sober up faster.

During the meal, Li Hongbing made jokes in the middle, making everyone laugh, and the lively atmosphere was always filled.

Yang Ganma said casually.

"By the way, Hong Bingshan Xing, the old man in your family knows about your marriage and is angry that you didn't invite him. Come back to the provincial capital with me in a few days and ask him to recognize you. Outsiders in the province will laugh at your children for not knowing where their home is. .”

Go to the provincial capital to meet the big boss.

Sister-in-law Wang Qian, who was sitting next to her, saw that the two of them were a little reserved, so she interrupted with a smile.

"Dad always talks about you. If it weren't for his busy schedule, he would come to the wedding this time no matter what."

It's all about this.

Li Hongbing could only bite the bullet and agree. "By the way, godmother, how do your legs feel?"

Mention old illness.

Yang Ganma smiled like a blooming flower, "The red soldiers have better medical skills. Now I can dance in the square. When you return to the provincial capital, remember to check your godfather's stomach. The old man forgets to eat when he starts working. Got a stomach bug."

"Okay, cover it for me." Li Hongbing agreed.

have eaten.

The three women were sitting in the yard chatting, but Li Hongbing couldn't get in any words, so he found an excuse to go to the village.

The wedding was held yesterday.

Relatives and friends were in no hurry to leave, especially the elderly tourist group, which was running around the village like devils entering the village.

Li Hongbing met Li Hongbing several times in the village alley.

He ran away surrounded by praise and praise.

I happened to bump into the village elders finishing their meal in the canteen, and they were surrounded again, asking when the joint progress meeting would be held. There were still a lot of things to deal with at home.

It is better to choose a day than to hit it.

Li Hongbing happened to be free now, so he asked the villagers passing by to help invite Shan Ye to the meadow, and called Li Ming to ask him to bring the company's people to the meadow to gather.

A large group of people came to the meadow.

Since there is a thank you banquet tomorrow, the stage has not been dismantled.

The village chiefs were first arranged to sit down. After a while, Shan Ye, Li Ming and the employees of Oak Technology arrived. Guests visiting the meadow thought there was a program and gathered around.

Just when everyone looked confused.

Li Hongbing walked onto the stage and picked up the microphone.

"Originally, today is the second day of my wedding. I shouldn't talk about this matter. It's rare that all the village chiefs below Songbai Town are here. I plan to announce this matter to the public."

"San'er." Shan Ye stood up quickly and shouted excitedly.

Li Hongbing nodded.

Seeing the confused faces in the audience, he turned around and signaled to the stage master to start.

The big screen lights up.

A video is playing.

What attracts everyone's attention is an undulating green mountain, like a green dragon, lying across the mountain range, covered with pines and cypresses.

The village chiefs in the audience whispered to each other in a familiar manner.

"This seems to be Qinglong Mountain. What does Village Chief Li mean? I heard that there are mountain people who still live in this mountain. They have not left the mountain after several moves."

"Is there a treasure on Qinglong Mountain?"

In the crowd, Uncle Mazi, who was supported by Luo Long and Luo Hu, suddenly pushed away the two juniors, with an excited face and staggered towards the stage.

What was shown on the big TV was the destination of my life.

Li Hongbing held the microphone and said in a low voice.

"You should have guessed, yes, this is Qinglong Mountain."

"But you don't know what is hidden in this mountain. Today I am going to unravel the secrets that have been circulating in the forest for decades."

With the voice falling.

More than 20 village chiefs and villagers stood up excitedly and stared at the big screen.

At some point, a drone flew over the stage and hovered.

The picture on the big screen changed.

A stone village appeared, and mountain people in simple clothes appeared in the camera with simple faces. Standing in the middle of the crowd was the weather-beaten Shan Ye.

"They are a group of unknown gravekeepers who spend their lives guarding the backbone of the forest area. They are exposed to wind, rain, and scorching sun, and this happens every day."

The screen turns again.

The camera shows a stone tomb and a bluestone tombstone, bathed in the morning light.

On the inscription, a line of big characters about the 72 heroes of Qin and Ba appeared in front of everyone.

Daggers followed by guns surrounded them at dusk, and the cold wind blew blood and people flew away.

Looking at the returning cavalry on the road leading up to the road, they were all covered in red and cold iron clothes.

A tragic and majestic poem, guarding the name of the hero.

Li Hongbing turned on his phone, pulled out the photo of the payment on the tombstone and read.

"In the spring of [-], the Japanese invaded Qinba. How could the Japanese be kind? They invaded our territory and massacred our people. Their crimes were too numerous to record!"

"A man will die in a hundred battles, and a strong man will return after ten years. We are the first to bear the brunt. Those who die in battle will be honored, and those who survive will be humiliated. A hundred healthy men in Songbai Town will be willing to wrap their corpses in horse leather and die for revenge."

"In this battle, 270 healthy men will not return to one, and [-] Japanese will be beheaded four times. Their bones will be used to suppress the invaders for tens of thousands of years, and they will never be reincarnated."

After reading the payment, Li Hongbing's eyes turned red. He paused for a moment and then continued to read the name on the tombstone.

"Sun Qingyou, 19 years old, from Shuanggou Village, Songbai Town, killed two bandits."

"Luo Tongsuo, 20 years old, from Shilipu, Songbai Town, killed one bandit."

"Lu Zhuangzi, 17 years old, from Taohuagou, Songbai Town, killed 2 bandits."

"Xu Gouwa, 26 years old, from Chashugou, Songbai Town, killed one bandit."

"Zhu Bajin, 16 years old, from Zhujiawan, Songbai Town, killed one bandit."

As the names were read out one by one, the village chiefs standing under the stage clenched their fists and stared directly at the big screen.

Sudden.

Lu Niu Sheng, the head of Taohuagou Village, fell to his knees and shouted with a cry.

"Second Grandpa, I finally found you. My grandma didn't even sleep a wink when she left. She was thinking of you even before she died."

"Uncle, it turns out you are lying on Qinglong Mountain, why don't you go home and dream about it." Zhu Jiebing, the head of Zhujiawan Village, also knelt down.

As the names were read out one by one, the village chiefs and villagers of each village knelt down one after another and cried.

If these people on the tombstones are still alive, they are all seniors from various villages. They were so passionate and determined to die that they didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to their families when they left.

There are only two words missing on the family tree.

Unexpectedly, when the clouds and mist were cleared and the sun came out, they turned out to be heroes who killed Japanese invaders. They were buried silently in Qinglong Mountain for 77 years, so close to home.

Li Hongbing sniffed and looked at Mr. Shan and Uncle Mazi who were being supported in the audience.

"Invite Master Shan and Master Mazi to come up."

The mountain people supported the mountain master, and Luolongluohu supported Uncle Mazi, and they staggered onto the stage.

Li Hongbing walked to Shan Ye.

"This is the tombkeeper from my old Li family, Master Shan. He has guarded the stone tomb all his life, just for a promise."

"Kneel down three times!" someone in the crowd shouted.

People from each village stood up and kowtowed three times to Master Shan.

Thank you Shan Ye for your kindness in protecting our ancestors.

Li Hongbing walked to the trembling Uncle Mazi again.

"This is the only remaining [-]-athlete in Songbai Town. The name covered by the loess on the tombstone is him, Shilipu Luo Mazi."

"Kneel three times!"

People from each village kowtowed three times again.

Mr. Mazi burst into tears and looked up at the blue sky.

The clouds seemed to turn into familiar and unfamiliar faces.

"Brother Ba Jin."

"Brother Bronze Lock."

"Brother Qingyou."

"Old man."

"Have you seen that the younger generations still remember us, remember us!!"
