Republic of China

Chapter 205 Reunion
At the end of the year, many people say that the New Year is like passing the customs.

In addition to having to pay off money and debts at the end of the year, the winter in Northeast China can indeed freeze people to death. After all, the ozone layer is still strong these days, and there is no talk of climate warming.

But Liu Mangfan expressed his doubts.

Because the amount of information is too huge, my head is buzzing.

First of all, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the two brothers came back. They agreed to leave for two months, but they meowed for almost a year.

No one knows how busy I am during this period. I have to watch more than ten or twenty movies every day, and I am so exhausted that I am losing weight.

Moreover, the two brothers also brought many people with them. Lao Li and his family needed no introduction, they were all familiar with them.

What I'm curious about is how you brought back an old man and a seriously injured person?

Did he hit someone in a car accident?Then Sanyuan and Lao Kang didn't have enough money in their pockets to compensate, so the old man brought his son to judge?
When we left, I told them not to drive. It was slipping everywhere in the cold weather, but I didn't listen.

In order to settle the matter, Liu Mangfan immediately took out all the money in his account and handed it to Mo Wenshan.

What's funny is that the old man accepted it seriously, and later Liu Mangfan found out that he was the mentor of the two brothers.

Having given everything but being too embarrassed to ask for it back, Liu Mangfan could only cry sadly and say it was a meeting gift.

After everyone settled down in the backyard of the tea house, the younger brothers told each other about the current situation and what happened this year.

Of course, Liu Mangfan didn't have any thrilling experiences. He took care of the house step by step every day, kept the teahouse in good order, and kept his wife and children warm.

He thought he could continue to live a peaceful life in the future, but the more he heard, the more something was wrong.

handsome mansion?

Zhang family?

Onmyoji?
The Evocation Shrine?

The piano is the best in the world?
Entering the border to hide from the limelight?
Liu Mangfan's brain was running rapidly, but there were some things that he had never heard of or even understood, as if he was listening to a story from another dimension.

doubt.

Puzzled.

But Mo Wenshan was sitting here, and his own great raccoon fairy repeatedly told him not to offend the old man, indicating that everything was true.

"Well, I'm a little hard of hearing. Brother, why don't you say it again. Maybe I heard it wrong."

Liu Mangfan still wanted to struggle.

When human beings suddenly have to accept results far beyond their inner imagination, they will instinctively resist, and few people are immune to this.

"Old Kang, tell him." Zhao Sanyuan lit another cigarette for Mo Wenshan, "Master, can you think of something to do with Old Liu's ears? Since he came back from Yaowang Valley, his right ear is basically useless, and his left ear is basically useless. My hearing has also declined a lot.”

In the prime of life, with a harmonious family and a happy life, it is indeed a pity to be half-deaf at this age.

Mo Wenshan answered without thinking, and didn't even step forward to check Liu Mangfan's ears.

"Do you understand the cheating? He had a cause-and-effect disease. If he hadn't lost his life, his ancestors' graves would have been smoking. If Xiaokang hadn't formed a formation with him to stabilize the tomb, hey, you three would have finished."

Zhao Sanyuan hesitated to speak, and finally turned into a sigh.

Although they are good brothers who have passed away, it is indeed difficult to repay the debt owed to Lao Liu.

Apart from anything else, how could Sister-in-law Liu not have the truth in her mind?They are a couple, who would want a man in his prime to be half-deaf?
But neither Lao Liu nor his sister-in-law complained a word.

He was dragged away by Liu Mangfan before, and was blocked by Lu Xiucai later, not to mention Lao Kang.

In the final analysis, I am not strong enough.

But the days are long, and with Master by my side to teach me, I don’t believe that I can still be weak.

Once I have mastered the Three Emperors Sword, I will be able to defeat him with a hundred and eighty Qi swords, but I won't be able to kill him.

"Are you thinking that after you master the Three Emperors Sword, you will hit an opponent with a hundred and eighty Qi Swords in a row?"

"Uh, master, how do you know?"

"Nonsense! I can see your buttocks from your throat, so I don't know what you are thinking? Do you think it's Maxim's fucking motherfucker? Let's take Qi away first and then we can talk about it."

Zhao Sanyuan is like an eggplant beaten by frost.

To say that the Three Emperors Sword's method of moving Qi is too abnormal, it requires not only three uses, but also the eight hundred or so orifices to be executed without making the slightest mistake, otherwise what will be struck is not a Qi sword, but a loud fart.

After practicing for more than ten days, the progress is very slow.

Lao Kang smiled and said, "This is what happened, this is the situation. Brother Liu, let's just go to the customs and travel around. It can be eight or nine months at the fastest, or two years at the slowest. The news will definitely pass. .”

The question is, does Liu Mangfan have any choice?

No ah.

He really had no choice.

After taking the blame together in a daze, it's a done deal.

If the matter is really exposed, the consequences will inevitably follow.

Moreover, when brothers are in trouble, they naturally join hands and advance and retreat together.

If you want to avoid the limelight, you have to hide together.

"I understand the truth, but what about my family? I know what will happen to me this time. I definitely can't follow my wife and children, but I don't feel safe leaving them behind."

Among the four brothers, the one Mo Wenshan admired most was not his two apprentices, but Liu Mangfan.

Because he cherishes his life, he knows how to be afraid, what is important and what is important, and what he can and cannot do.

Although Kang Muang's state of mind is stronger than that of Zhao Sanyuan, the prerequisite is not to involve the latter, otherwise he will be just as crazy.

To sum it up in two words.

responsibility.

Only when you have ties can you feel the heavy responsibility.

Like a young apprentice, who has neither the elders nor the younger ones, one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. At the critical moment, it is easy to be killed.

In addition, there is also the friendship between Liu Mangfan and Liu Mangfan who was willing to risk his life to save her in Yaowang Valley.

Not bad, I made good friends.

"I've already thought about it for you, Old Liu." Zhao Sanyuan opened his fingers and calculated, "Let's leave before the Lantern Festival. The teahouse will be closed by then. The reason is that we are going out to visit relatives. Anyway, the land is not rented. We won't lose money if we leave it dry. , just let District Chief Wang take care of me. My sister-in-law and my eldest nephew don’t stay in Taoguan and go to Fengtian City to live with the Li family. The fifth sister wants to open a tailor shop in the coming year. My sister-in-law is good at craftsmanship. Wouldn’t it be perfect for them to work together? ? And I can keep him company, and my eldest nephew is old enough to go to school. If he wants to go to the best school, he must go to Fengtian City."

Liu Mangfan was greatly reassured by his thoroughness.

After much deliberation, there really isn't much to suggest. My wife and children can all be settled well.

He didn't blame the two brothers for killing the Onmyoji. He didn't like the little devil at first, not to mention the unscrupulous things he had done secretly.

Now that you have done it, then do it. The best thing is to enter the customs together to avoid the limelight, otherwise it will be more dangerous for the wife, children and children to stay.

"The old man also said that he would select a few techniques that are suitable for you and teach them to you. Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Are you excited?"

"Enter the customs, right? I'm going to find some waistcoats and big pants!"

Liu Mangfan is better than Zhao Sanyuan, at least he has crossed provinces. He and his father-in-law went to Ji Province to pour seafood before, but they have never been to Guan Nei. I heard it is very hot, so I have to prepare early~
On New Year's Eve, stay up late and celebrate the new year.

On this day, the teahouse was unprecedentedly busy.

Because they all heard that the brothers would close their shop for a while after the Chinese New Year, they all quickly took the opportunity to ask about the fortune for the coming year, etc. Basically everyone knew that serious masters would not work during the first month of the year.It must be said that all the pilgrims who came today are blessed.

Mo Wenshan replaced Zhao Sanyuan and sat in court in person.

Many people are curious about where the old man was hired. Did the younger brothers make too much money and start to mess it up?
But when an expert makes a move, it’s like a master’s move.

Not even half a stick of incense was taken out, but the Eight Immortals table in Mo Wenshan was full and bustling with people.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this old man is simply a combination of Master Zhao and Master Kang with an enhanced version of the external belt!
With their mentor sitting in the hall, the younger brothers are completely free.

Lao Kang posted Spring Festival couplets inside and outside, Lao Liu hung red lanterns inside and outside, and the scholar served as the mascot.

Zhao Sanyuan was more leisurely. He took Lao Li's daughter, Lao Liu's son, and District Chief Wang's unique Queen's Sledgehammer to set off firecrackers and had fun for most of the day.

Even at night, the three children were all pouting because Uncle Sanyuan had let Uncle Sanyuan set off the firecrackers and he didn't even scratch a few matches.

In this regard, Uncle Sanyuan said who is not a baby anymore?

There are elders in the family who are in charge, so you must have fun without any worries.

But the most anticipated thing is the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Because he heard that the younger brothers were going to travel far in the coming year, District Chief Wang came to join in the fun, and there were more than ten people inside and outside.

It was no problem for the guests, but for Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang, there had never been such a lively reunion during the New Year, and they had an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

All in all, both of them want to stay like this forever, with trustworthy relatives and friends everywhere they look, and everyone is healthy and free from disasters.

Pushing cups and changing cups, laughing and laughing.

Mo Wenshan, who was sitting on the main seat, was the most virtuous and respected man. When he saw that it was about the same time, he distributed the red envelopes he had prepared in advance one by one. In his words, they called them borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha. The money inside was all the money Liu Mangfan had given him in a confused way, and the red envelopes had no share. Small.

Apart from the children, the only one who received a red envelope was Zhao Sanyuan. I don't know if the old man was more partial to him in his heart, or if he was more uneasy and still regarded him as a child who had not grown up.

"Old man, is there any use for me? If you want to use the car, you can say whatever you want, and I will take care of the arrangements clearly." Buddha Dingzhu patted his chest and promised, but it looked like he was drunk. You know what happened this time? How can I drive a car far away?

Mo Wenshan smiled and said, "Don't bother, District Chief Wang. I'll take a few kids to the Imperial Capital and Jinmen by train first, and then go south by waterway depending on the situation. Cars are inconvenient, and some countryside is inaccessible."

Buddha Dingzhu immediately raised his voice, "Train? It's better to take the train. Please relax. I will ask someone to buy tickets tomorrow. You must buy the best train!"

This time Mo Wenshan didn't refuse and nodded with a smile.

"Alas, I don't know when we will see each other again." Li Dongzhi said with emotion, "No matter what, you and the juniors must take care of themselves. I will help you at home. Don't worry, nothing will happen to you." question."

Looking back on the past, the wonder of fate makes strangers bond with each other. It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. There is indeed a certain truth. Since they have been dating, relatives are worse than relatives. Li Dongzhi completely treats Zhao Sanyuan and others as his biological brothers.

But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
It was not difficult for him to guess Mo Wenshan's intention. He must have taken his disciple out to hide from the limelight.

Well, I heard that the Kwantung Army's Special High-tech Department has been making frequent moves recently, and I don't know what they are doing.

Mo Wenshan touched Li Dongzhi's wine glass and said, "I don't want to tell secrets. I know very well how you feel about my two silly apprentices. I also understand that you still have to do things for Marshal Zhang. We suddenly entered the border. He I’m bound to ask you, right?”

A veteran in society and a veteran in officialdom, both have a clear mind and understand that they have no choice but to do something they cannot help themselves.

Why did Marshal Zhang want to find Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang?

One of the very key factors is the relationship with Li Dongzhi.

It is good enough and hard enough. It has a buffer from it and does not require direct control. It can also transmit key information back when necessary.

Do you really think that Dashuai Zhang is the boss?
Never underestimate a hero.

Li Dongzhi smiled bitterly, "Indeed, once the old commander learns that Sanyuan and others are leaving the country, he will definitely ask me."

"It doesn't matter, just tell the truth."

"How can you tell the truth?"

Mo Wenshan said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Let's just say that Sanyuan and Xiaokang's master knew about the Onmyoji. In order to prevent the two silly apprentices from burping, he took them into the pass to pay homage to various mountain gates, and be more careful. If you have hard skills, it will take about a year at the fastest, and it will not take more than two years at the slowest time. You will definitely return to Fengtian. Marshal Zhang is in his prime and has countless capable people under his command. He will not be short of us in one or two years, right?"

"Okay, just do what the old man wants." Li Dongzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really confused about how to respond to the old man before.

Lie, it's easy to get fucked.

Tell the truth, I'm afraid I won't be able to disappoint my brothers.

At the same time, Zhao Sanyuan and several juniors were drinking heavily while admiring the moon in the courtyard.

None of the four brothers expected to enter the customs before. They suddenly had to go on a long trip. They felt anxious and expectant at the same time. It felt like primary school students going on a spring outing the next day.

"It's been 17 years since the Republic of China. Life flies by so fast."

"It's pretty fast, but from Yuan Datou to now, I don't know who can take care of this family well."

"Why do you care so much? We should eat and drink. It's not like the sky is falling. It's not our little people's turn to worry."

"I'm afraid that the princes from all walks of life will start fighting again. If we want to catch up with the Central Plains war, it will really be one head and two big ones."

"Probably not? At least Hebei and Rehe are safe. After all, they are the territory of Fengjun. Besides, I replenished a lot of ammunition before leaving Fengtian City. I will just spray it when I encounter danger."

"Good guy, you've entered the bandit's den and you're talking more and more like a bandit. We're all civilized people. We don't show off easily. We all say that we are armed with sharp weapons and are murderous. I'm afraid of guns, cannons, etc. You are too young to handle it, why don't you let Brother Liu and me go?"

"If you're greedy, just say so. I'll tell you how many times Xiao Lizi gets it later. It's not a tank, so it's not a big problem."

"Forget it, forget it, I'm afraid of breaking my feet."

"The road ahead is long. If possible, I would like to go back to Mount Wutai to see Master. I don't know how his old man is doing."

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. With the old man here, I have nothing to fear."

"You can't say that. How about we make a divination to see if it's bad or bad?"

"Lao Kang, come on."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to scream properly if I'm so drunk. Let's shake it once and then open it again. No one will be left behind."

"I'll come first."

"It's almost done, Old Liu. If you do this, the eggs will turn yellow."

"Hey! Don't pick it up with your mouth!"

"Let's go, drive!"

The four people were laughing happily on the snow, saying they were criticizing the hexagrams, but in fact most of their attention was not on the hexagrams.

The back-and-forth soon evolved into a Northeastern repertoire, snowball fights.

Even the sick Lu Xiucai was not spared and begged for mercy again and again.

When he got excited, Zhao Sanyuan picked up the gong and shouted loudly.

"Midnight! On the first day of the New Year, new years are added to the calendar, and spring fills the old mountains and rivers!"

It's as white as snow on the mountain peaks, as bright as the moon among the clouds, and the sounds of firecrackers and children's play come and go.
In the 17th year of the Republic of China, it was the tenth day of the first lunar month.

A professional team of one old and four small children entered the customs and traveled south.

Zelei followed.

　The fifth volume is about to begin, and you will encounter more bizarre events, more powerful opponents, and fierce collisions between masters and forces from all sides (I just read it, it’s more than 70 words in a daze, whether it is bleak or a stretch, thank you for accompanying me) The brother who came here is cute.
