Chapter 35 Dongshan after the disaster

The next day, at dawn, the two went to guard again. Just after the end of the afternoon, the dart master came out of the darts bureau and went to the Liuyeer teahouse. There were not many meetings. A small school-like officers and soldiers came in and reported to the head of the darts division: "Grandpa, our military master went to the front with the general to inspect. He just received the order this morning, and immediately If you want to set off, ask the little one to come and report that if you have something to do, go home first and talk next time.

The darts master frowned disappointedly and asked, "Didn't your master say when he would come back when he left?"

"I said, I'll be back in two days." The little school replied with a smile, and the dart master breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, you go back and tell me. I'd better wait for your grandfather to come back, talk before going back, and ask him to come back to the city to find me."

The primary school agreed, and the long bow came out and went straight back. The bodyguard also stood up to settle the bill and went back to the bodyguard bureau. Li Zonggui and Jiang Shun followed the settlement, went straight out of the teahouse and went out of the south gate to the city to go back to the west of the pen rack.

Dongshan of the pen holder has been extremely quiet and can't see any movement. Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng discussed carefully and decided to go to Dongshan to see the situation. Li Xiaoyao followed him and must follow him to have a look. Wei Shuisheng pulled Li Zongliang and discussed a few words in a low voice. Li Zongliang agreed. The three changed their clothes. Li Xiao Yao put on a cotton cloak and went along the mountain road to the east of the pen holder.

Li Xiaoyao's feet on the winding mountain road were soft and walked straight for more than an hour. The three of them bypassed a waterfall and turned to a stone wall more than two people high. The stone wall was made of large blue stones by taking advantage of the mountain. Four or five small square holes were staggered on the wall. The blue stone was black and charred after the fire, and the gate in the middle was in the middle. , which was burned to leave only a few pieces of coke-like door frames, showing how thorough and violent the killing here a few days ago was.

Li Zongliang stood in front of the stone wall with only the doorway left, raised his name and waited for a long time, but did not hear any reply. Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng looked at each other, carried guns, alerted, and protected Li Xiaoyao, who was holding the dagger tightly in the middle. The three of them carefully entered the gate together.

There is a quiet and desolation in the gate. Only the black and charred stone walls have been burned in the left and right ear houses. There are no corpses, no scattered debris, and no blood stains on the ground. It has been raining for the past two days. Except for those charred blacks that can't be washed clean, they have long been washed clean. Li Zongliang stood in the yard. Li turned around and sighed. When I came a few days ago, how prosperous and lively it was. Now it is so quiet and desolate, as if hundreds of years have passed in a blink of an eye.

The three walked through the first yard and stood in front of the door of the inner courtyard, which was also burned with only the remaining wall. Li Zongliang reported his name as usual. This time, there was still no reply, and the three people did not wait much. They went straight through the gate of the inner courtyard and walked dozens of steps in. Suddenly, a man rushed to the front with an arm hanging, wrapped in a white cloth on his head. The middle-aged strong man, holding a knife in his right hand, has a ferocious face, but it is not fierce. The tragedy makes people feel sad.

When the middle-aged strong man saw that he was Li Zongliang, he was relieved, his hand holding the knife fell down, staggered a few times, stood firm, carried the knife in one hand, made a salutation, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's Li Da's master. I have saluted Master Li. We are still the second head, and Sun Da The wife is all in it. Master Li, wait a moment, and I'll report it. The middle-aged man gradually stabilized his mind and his words became more and more organized.

Li Zongliang nodded with a smile, stopped his pace with a gun, raised his hand and let him. The middle-aged man bowed slightly, turned around and rushed in. For a moment, a 40-year-old, medium-sized, thin and very kind-faced man greeted him with a middle-aged man. Come here.

When the good man saw Li Zongliang, he forced his hand to say politely from afar, "Master Li is here. If you are far away, please, Master Li! Several masters invited me, my village, alas, now the looting has failed to live up to Master Li's kindness that day. The good man's eyes were red, and tears almost came out of his eyes. Li Zongliang hurriedly hugged his fist and said politely, "Master Sun is welcome. How is the big master? I think this stockade was destroyed, but it didn't hurt anyone.

Sun Ertou's tears came out of his eyes. He quickly raised his hand and wiped two tears. His throat slid up and down for a long time before he said, "The big boss, he didn't escape. He is a brother full of stockade. He has been busy for two days and has just been collected. This stockade, stockade." Sun Ertou turned his head and calmed down for a moment before turning back and forced Li Zongliang to smile: "Master Li, don't laugh. For the rest of his life, the things in this stockade are all in charge of our Lady Sun. Master Li, gentlemen, go in and talk."

Li Zongliang sighed heavily and let Second Master Sun, half a step behind, cross the broken wall and go inside together.

Li Xiaoyao walked all the way and carefully looked at the layout of the terrain on the east mountain. The gate, built according to the mountain, can be regarded as a man. Don't open it. On that day, the officers and soldiers must have been successful in the sneak attack. The leader of the grandson was also too careless.

The small courtyard that just came in should be the porter on duty. This is the residence of the Dongshan bandits. According to the mountain, it is a large and small courtyard, connected with great rules. The three followed Second Master Sun and entered another cave door, which looked extremely spacious. Facing five tall houses, and there was a large flat courtyard in front of the door. At this time, they were neat and lined with corpses. Several of them were wrapped in white cloth outside, but most of them just put their broken hands and feet in one place. Seven Eight people were either hanging their hands or lame, sitting randomly on the ground, burning something unknown, and occasionally looking up at Li Zongliang and others.

Li Xiaoyao subconsciously leaned against Wei Shuisheng. Wei Shuisheng quickly shook Li Xiaoyao's hand and pinched it hard. Li Zongliang stopped, handed the gun to Wei Shuisheng, straightened his clothes, straightened his clothes, and bowed to the corpses all over the ground. Second Master Sun stood beside him and bowed sadly with a sad face, attracting the three people. , entered the five main rooms with only stone walls left.

Aunt Sun, dressed in rough linen and filial clothes, stood in the door of the main room, her eyes were red and swollen, and she held her fists and Li Zongliang saluted: "Thank you, Li Dajia!"

"My condolences, Lady Sun." Li Zongliang quickly bowed and bowed back. Li Xiaoyao followed Wei Shuisheng, arched his hand and quietly looked at Aunt Sun. She seemed to have practiced kung fu. She was medium-sized, not fat, but she looked strong. Between her hands and feet, she was very imposing, with a goose egg face, straight eyebrows, straight nose, and handsome. Heroism, but his face is gray and his eyes are black, which is also inevitable. In such a situation, no one can be refreshed.

There were actually several chairs in the main room without a roof. Li Zongliang and others solemnly gave incense to Sun's leader and others. Mrs. Sun saluted and asked everyone to sit down.

Li Zongliang didn't want to look directly at Mrs. Sun. He looked at Sun Er's head of the family and said sincerely, "The big master, the second head, now... I really didn't expect that we still have some grain, clothing and manpower in Xishan. If there is anything that can help one or two, the big head and the second heads just open their mouths. Everyone is on a mountain. Brother, you're welcome."

Sun Er stood up quickly and thanked him, "This is Master Li's righteous place!" Thank you, the second generation of Sun, our great head! The former son, Master Li, reported the news with righteousness, if it is... Alas! How can there be such a disaster today! Thank you, Master Li, for what happened before!" Sun Er's face was miserable. Aunt Sun shook her body slightly, looked at Li Zongliang, and arched her hand: "What happened before was that my father was rude and wronged Master Li. Master Li didn't care about the past and was willing to visit her. Yue'e is very grateful." With that, Aunt Sun stood up, arched her hand, and bowed her bow strangely.

Li Xiaoyao paid attention to Sun Er's head and Aunt Sun. He took advantage of his free words and asked with concern, "Sister Sun, I don't know how many people are left on your mountain? How many are good and how many are injured? Is it okay to make a living now? This room is burned like this. Where does my sister live now?

Wei Shuisheng blinked his eyes and glanced at Li Zongliang. The two did not say anything tacitly. Mrs. Sun looked at Li Xiaoyao carefully and asked, "Who is this?"

"My name is Li Xiaoyao, the eldest sister of the eldest brother, and I am the direct relative." Li Xiaoyao simply replied. Aunt Sun looked at Li Zongliang and then at Li Xiaoyao: "There are some elephants. Thank you for your concern. There were about 100 people in Dongshan, but now there are less than 30 left, more than one of them are injured. There is also a small courtyard behind the main house, which has not been completely burned down. Now we are these few people. That small yard can also be squeezed out. As for livelihood, if we do this, there is no way to make a living. If there is a business, we will have a livelihood.

Sun Er looked at Li Zongliang thoughtfully and turned his eyes to Wei Shuisheng. Finally, he looked at Li Xiaoyao, suddenly stood up, arched his hand and said, "Three sit wide first." With that, he came forward to signal Aunt Sun, and the two went out of the main room together.

Li Xiaoyao gently pulled Li Zongliang and said in a low voice, "Brother, this Dongshan is the long place. It's better to persuade them that the two families can be together later."

Wei Shuisheng nodded to Li Zongliang and motioned to agree with Li Xiaoyao's words. Li Zongliang listened attentively to Li Xiaoyao's words, but stared at the door with good eyes and promised in a low voice, "Wait for them, explore first."

Sun Er's head and Aunt Sun turned back for a moment. Aunt Sun sat back in the chair, looked at Sun Er's head and whispered, "Second uncle, say it."

"Hmm." Sun Er agreed and looked at Li Zongliang. First, he sighed for a long time, opened his mouth, and sighed for a long time: "Master Li, although Dongshan is not the same as before, the foundation is still there. Master Li, don't you think, or our two families together?"
