Chapter 368 Forbearance?
The old man turned on the Mingzi lighting, and when he entered the room, he didn't seem surprised at all when he turned over from the kang and stood up, holding the semi-automatic Lu Lu in his hand. A kerosene lamp on a nailed-in board was lit.
Being so familiar with everything in the cellar, it goes without saying that Lu Lu also knows that the old man is the owner of the cellar.
He took the initiative to reveal his identity: "I'm passing by, sorry, I'll stay overnight."
Then the old man hung the old foreign cannon on the wall, took off his hat, and took off his thick coat. His shoulder-length pale long hair was very messy. It seemed that he was much older than Jiang Zewei. few.
These days, not many people are still hunting with old foreign cannons in the wilderness.
"It doesn't matter, you continue to sleep, have you eaten yet?"
Just after the old man asked, he saw a lot of meat left in the iron pot of the earthen stove, and said, "I've already eaten it."
"I wanted to wait for you to come back to eat together, but I really can't wait..."
After putting on his shoes, Lu Lu went to the earthen stove to help warm up the leftover soup: "Don't be disgusted, I'll warm it up and eat some."
The old man smiled: "What do I dislike, it's good to have something to eat. The young man is very hardworking! I haven't been here for a long time. Have a drink or two with me later."
Lu Lu had to sleep for a long time, and it was estimated that it would have been four or five hours. He was already recovering from fatigue. Although he was awakened suddenly, he was no longer sleepy, so he nodded.
The old man casually took out an earthen pot from under the table, took two bowls, and was busy pouring wine for Lu Lu.
Lu Lu looked at the wine gradually increasing in the bowl, and quickly stretched out his hand to signal: "I can't drink enough, enough, enough!"
The old man didn't feel embarrassed, just enough was enough, but instead he poured himself a shallow bowl, which was not small, at least half a catty.
"I just have this little hobby, and I can't do without wine. My son and daughter-in-law think that I drink too much, smell bad, and think I'm not good at work, so they can't tolerate me. I think, anyway, I haven't had a good life for a few years, so I will give it to me." I chose this place myself, happy to be quiet, who knows, I am really an old man, I have lived here for seven or eight years, nothing happened!"
The old man laughed at himself.
Lu Lu didn't answer the words. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and each has its own difficulties. He couldn't say anything, so he just said casually: "Life, where is it different? It's just that one day counts as one day, and one more day counts. Earn a day, just be happy...you have a long life?"
As he asked, he added some firewood to the clay stove.Chatting with an old man, even Lu Lu felt that his mentality was getting old again. Looking back on his previous life, he was also deeply moved. Compared with the old man in front of him, he was far less carefree.
"I'm 84. Looking at it like this, I should be able to live for a few more years. In this mountain, I can grow food, lay down a few traps, and carry my old foreign cannon to hunt. It's good!"
"At such an advanced age, I really can't tell with this mental head...why do you come back so late?"
"I'm going to see an old friend. It's a bit far away. I have to go inside the Dazhanggou in Fendou Village, Nancha District."
Struggle village?
Lu Lu thought about it carefully. He really had some impressions of this village. He ran there when he was collecting the mountain goods. When the whip was shot in Shanghai, it was severely beaten, and it was detained for a night before someone spent money to fish it out.
The only time in his life that he ate an official meal, it was hard for Lu Lu not to forget.
The place names over there are quite interesting, Dazhanggou, Xiongxiazigou, Yingfenggou... The mountain terrain is much more complicated than that here.
Lu Lu was still thinking, go to Bang Bang to see if there are deer and blind bears.
"That place is not close to here!"
Lu Lu had to admire the old man's legs and feet.
The broth in the iron pot was already boiling, he took a big bowl, scooped out the meat, put it on the table, and sat down opposite the old man.
When the old man saw that the food was already on the table, he picked up the wine bowl and signaled to Lu Lu. He took a big sip of wine for himself, then took out the chopsticks, took out a piece of rabbit meat, and held it with his hands: "Well, this tastes good. ,tasty!"
Most of his teeth have been lost, this overcooked meat is quite suitable for him.
Lu Lu also took a shallow sip, picked up a piece casually, and ate slowly.
I only heard the old man continue to say: "I went out at dawn today. I went back and forth. I didn't come back until now. I originally planned to go today and return tomorrow. But when I arrived at my old friend's cellar, I found out that he has passed away.
The inside of the cellar was turned into a mess, and all the valuable things were taken out, and he himself was smashed open with a wooden stick, and it stinks.He has no family, and I have no ability to help him seek justice or anything, and it doesn't make any sense, so I can only help him light the cellar and give him a ride. "
As the old man said, he took another big gulp of wine and cursed: "I don't know who the hell did it."
He robbed the old dog in the mountains, and even killed him!
Lu Lv also felt chilled when he heard that, how frantic this must be.
He didn't know what to say for a while, it's really hard to say what happened in the mountains.
The air in the cellar became dull, and Lu Lu gave a few words of persuasion, but the old man didn't know if he had heard something. Looking at his drunken sip after mouthful, it was most likely that he hadn't heard anything, but had just drank a lot. After drinking for a long time, I drink myself on the table.
Lu Lu helped him to lie down on the kang, covered him with a quilt, and warmed himself by the earthen stove.
It didn't take long, and the morning light was already shining outside.
After packing up his things, Lu Lu went out of the basement, the cold air in the morning forced him to tighten his clothes.
Lu Lu didn't want the skins of Tiao Mao Zi and Grey Gou Zi, but only brought the sack and his own semi-automatic.Inside the sack was a newly acquired semi-automatic rifle that had been dismantled into a pile of parts, and then rode a horse and took Yuanbao to Chenming, bought some food and brought it, and continued to squat near the place where Li Qingxiang hid the gun yesterday.
He wanted to see what would happen to the two people who were bound to have a rift without the gun.
The main reason is to see if it is necessary to clean up the two together.
The Zheng San he knew was a very forbearing person.
And those who are good at forbearance are often more troublesome.
What made Lu Lu depressed was that he wandered around the nearby mountains all day and beat several greyhounds with a slingshot, but he never saw Li Qingxiang and Zheng San come.
This night, he didn't go to the old man's basement to spend the night, but rode Zhuifeng and led Yuanbao to Nancha District.
The hostels can't live there, but the farmers' homes on the edge are completely fine.
After giving him two yuan, the farm family happily welcomed him into the house. The host even prepared some fodder for Zhui Feng at night. When he went to feed him, he was almost kicked.
As for Yuanbao, all the greyhound meat that was hunted in a day went into its stomach.
The next morning, Lu Lu temporarily left Zhuifeng and Yuanbao at the farmer's house, and after instructing their family not to get close to Zhuifeng and Yuanbao who had been guarding Zhuifeng, he went straight to the district.
He bought a few pancakes and scallions at a street food stand. After he was full, he went to the alley near Li Qingxiang's house and waited for a short time. Li Jianmin left early, and his wife went to the vegetable market with a vegetable basket.After waiting for about half an hour, before Li Qingxiang came out, Zheng San, who was carrying a double barrel, was waited first.
If Lu Lu hadn't seen it in time, he would have almost met him.
Zheng San went straight to Li Qingxiang's door, and yelled several times inside: "Brother Xiang..."
Li Qingxiang opened the door sleepily and let him in.
After waiting for another 10 minutes or so, the two went out together, went to the restaurant in the district to eat noodles, and then drove away in the car.
As soon as Lu Lu looked in the direction of Wang Zizigou, he knew there was something going on.
He immediately returned to the farmer, and after delivering some pancakes rolled with green onions to their family, he rode on Chasing Wind, took Yuanbao, and went straight into the mountain.
When Lu Lu entered the forest, he immediately let Chasing Feng run, took a shortcut on the mountain road, and arrived at the place early before the two of them. He watched Li Qingxiang's car turn into the forest from a distance, and he immediately hitched the semi-automatic, He led Yuan Bao and followed him in. When he touched the lime tree where Li Qingxiang hid his gun, he saw Li Qingxiang climbing up the lime tree.
However, when Li Qingxiang stretched out his hand to touch the hole of the linden tree, his complexion suddenly changed.
"Brother Xiang, what's wrong?"
Sensing that something was wrong, Zheng San asked loudly.
"It's nothing... I suddenly remembered that I forgot to take the two bullets I asked for at the forest farm the day before yesterday, and I have to go to the forest farm for a run!"
Li Qingxiang slid down from the tree swiftly.
With such an answer, Lu Lu, who was watching quietly from behind the bushes, frowned all of a sudden.
This is a very abnormal reaction.
With Li Qingxiang's past virtues, he must be furious.
Now, after discovering that the gun was missing, he behaved calmly.
Do you know how to forbear?
This kind of forbearance, I'm afraid it has another purpose!
"Let's go, let's take this path to the forest farm!" Li Qingxiang led the way after getting down from the tree.
"Brother Xiang, why don't you drive, it's faster that way. We're going to go hunting in the mountains, so we'll easily meet them in the morning and evening. When the weather gets hot at noon, it's hard to find them."
Zheng San stopped Li Qingxiang from behind: "If you walk with your feet, it will take at least two hours to go back and forth. It was slow to come out. If you go into the mountain at that time, you will miss the opportunity."
"What are you afraid of? Let's be late. Besides, there are so many forests in the forest farm. Can't we go all the way there?"
Li Qingxiang said with a smile: "I always drive around. If my dad bumps into me, he won't scold me to death. He has told me several times, and you know that my dad has always wanted to work in the Forestry Bureau." , that way you don’t have to go to the forest farm all day long, lest something happen to me and affect him.”
Zheng San thought for a while: "Don't blame me if you can't get a big deal!"
"Don't blame you, blame you for what!"
Li Qingxiang said, reaching out to Zheng San: "Give me your gun. This way, you will be in charge of pinching, and I will be in charge of shooting. I am still very good at shooting with a double-barreled shotgun."
Zheng San hesitated for a moment, then handed the double-barreled shotgun to Li Qingxiang.
Li Qingxiang opened the chamber of the double-barreled shotgun to look at the bullets, closed it again, opened the safety at random, raised the gun and took aim in the distance: "I really miss the double-barrel I used back then, but it's a pity that I was so cheap. Last time I was instigated by your kid, and was almost killed by that blind dog's dog. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know that you were so insidious and almost killed by you. Why, I just gave you some face now, You dare to play my semi-automatic idea again?"
"Brother Xiang, didn't you say that this matter has been exposed? What do you mean by saying that now? When did I hit you with semi-automatic ideas?"
Zheng San was a little confused.
Before he could react, Li Qingxiang had already turned around and aimed the gun at him: "I'm semi-automatically missing. No one else knows the location of the hidden gun except you and me. Pretend to me, right?"
"You disappeared semi-automatically..."
Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, Zheng San's expression suddenly became terrified: "Brother Xiang, I really didn't take it, I really didn't touch your semi-automatic. You just told me the day before yesterday, and then we changed to pulling things for the forest farm. , we have been together, I really didn't take it. Could someone else have seen it?"
"Together all the time? That's not necessarily true. The night before yesterday and last night, you had plenty of time. It's even more impossible for others to see it. Otherwise, I've been here for so many days and I've been fine, but I just told you and disappeared. You Do you think I will still believe your nonsense? Don’t you admit it?”
Li Qingxiang's voice suddenly became very cold.
"Brother Xiang... I really didn't take it, I really didn't take it..."
As Zheng San said, with a plop, he knelt down in front of Li Qingxiang, begging.
Thanks to the book friend Ten Miles of Peach Blossom, for the unique reward.
