161 【Home Alive】
Liu Jiacheng is a hard-working man in Yuanbao Town. He unloaded goods for this mountain store for a few days, and then moved the leather store for two days.
Although he didn't earn much money, he was the only one left in the family who broke into Guandong. He was fed and his whole family was not hungry. If he didn't consider the future, he would have lived a leisurely life.
On that day, after just receiving the wages from Chunhesheng's account room, Liu Jiacheng was about to go to the tavern to drink some wine to satisfy his cravings. By the way, he heard the story of the sharpshooter Yuan Pengfei to meet his spiritual needs.
While humming a small song and music, a ragged beggar blocked his way. He asked alertly: "What are you doing?"
"Brother, I'll ask you about someone. Is Yuan Pengfei in this town?" the beggar asked respectfully.
This beggar is Chen Letong who traveled all the way to Guandong. This is the fourth pedestrian he asked. The three people in front said that they had never heard of this person.
But he clearly remembered that before leaving, Yuan Pengfei said he wanted to go to Yuanbao Town in Sanjiangkou.
He went through a lot of hardships to come here. If he could not find Yuan Pengfei or find out about her sister's whereabouts, he would really have the desire to die.
Liu Jiacheng looked at him up and down, and became even more alert, "Little brother just came to Yuanbao Town?"
"Yes, I just came today." Chen Letong replied without hesitation.
"Then who is Yuan Pengfei?"
"He saved my sister and was my benefactor."
"Is that so? Then I can take you to find him and come with me!" Liu Jiacheng said with a smile and took him to the side door of the tavern.
"Dong~Dong~,Dong"
A knock on the door, two long and one short, rang out, and the man inside shouted, "Who, what's the matter?"
"Brother Zhang, I am Xiao Chengzi! There is someone who wants to find Lord Yuan's relatives."
The door creaked open, but what greeted them was not the kind-hearted janitor, but two big knives and four black holes of muzzles.
Chen Letong was shocked. Is he entering the thief's nest?
But before he could react, the two men went up and pressed him down and took him in. The leading man snorted coldly, "Wouldn't you dare to seek revenge on us Lord Yuan? Is it better to seek death in another way? Search for me!"
Chen Letong heard that they seemed to have misunderstood something and quickly shouted for justice, "Brother, I really am not a revenge. I just came to find someone. Yuan Pengfei is my benefactor!"
A man searched all over his body, except for dozens of copper plates and two dry steamed buns, there was no killing blade at all.
The leading man let go of some alertness and ordered to several subordinates: "You guys have a look at him for me, I'll report to my elder brother first."
In fact, there is a reason why they are so vigilant.
Blocking one's way of wealth is like killing one's parents. Yuan Pengfei is more than blocking one's way of wealth! In the past six months, the bandits he destroyed have almost twenty of, and many bandits have formed blood feuds with him.
Those who can escape from him must have some strength in addition to luck. These people either come to take revenge alone, or form alliances to secretly plan to take revenge.
Chen Letong's routine of finding relatives and then attacking people when he saw someone. That time, their subordinates thought they had met it, so they did not dare to offend them at all, so they respectfully invited the person in.
If Yuan Pengfei hadn't known what was going on and was alert in advance, he would have been successful that time.
From then on, all the people in charge of protecting the safety were taught by special guards. Except for those familiar faces, it was impossible for others to come in without checking in.
However, this time I really met it!
"Chen Letong, is it you?"
Yuan Pengfei was really a little unrecognizable. He looked thin and had two scars on his face. Is he the same person as the gentle and well-educated little brother he had ever seen?
"It's me, Chen Letong, Brother Yuan, who was separated from Longkou Port, how is my sister?" Chen Letong asked anxiously.
"Your sister is living a good life, and she is in the countryside with my godmother!" Yuan Pengfei also knew his anxiety and quickly ordered: "Zhang Hu, you bring two brothers to pick up people in person, take my sister Yaofei back, and tell her that her brother is back."
Just as he was about to arrange for Chen Letong, he saw Chen Letong suddenly collapsed on the ground and fainted.
My sister is his only spiritual pillar and the reason why he supports him to get here. Now that I heard the news about my sister An Ran Wuyang, my tense spirit was relaxed and I couldn't hold on for a moment.
After a long time, when Chen Letong woke up again, his cute sister was already sitting in front of his bed and called him "brother".
"Brother, how do you feel?"
With Chen Yaofei's support, Chen Letong sat up, looked at his sister's face and smiled: "Fortunately, there is no problem. But you, Brother Yuan's family, are good to you, and your thin little face has become a small round face."
Chen Yaofei wrinkled his cute little nose, "Yes, Brother Yuan's family treats me well. My godmother and sister-in-law take special care of me. I'm almost like a fat pig. But brother, how did you get through this year? You have suffered a lot."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Chen Letong said perfunctorily.
He has experienced a lot and learned a lot in the past year, but more of it is still the sufferings he has gone through. He is not willing to talk about these experiences to his sister, which is not more beneficial than making her worry.
I remember when I first parted, two people became one, and the dry food they carried became richer.
But after walking north for a few days and resting in a forest, I met those guys who changed from fleeing people to bandits in order to survive.
They have no other purpose, nor will they start a massacre, but just rob the fugitives of their luggage and food so that they can continue to survive.
Chen Letong was lucky, and other fugitives acted as barriers. He carried his luggage and escaped the disaster.
But luck didn't always stand on his side. One of the few robbers that happened to meet the robbers head-on.
The food in the bag is alive, how could he let the robbers rob it? So he fought back and was beaten by several robbers. If the robbers had no other targets of robbers, he would have sold his life there.
Dragging his bruised body, he gritted his teeth and continued on the road. Without dry food and luggage, he could only put down his dignity and beg for the beg, and walked towards Guandong step by step.
During this period, he had seen the warmth and warmth of human kindness and understood what it means to be a rich family with wine and meat, and he had frozen bones on his way.
There is a kind-hearted person who gives him half of his meals, and he gives him two more meals when he asks him to do some small work.
But more of it was the cold look. There were too many people begging all the way, and no one's food was in vain. It was impossible to save everyone. The number of times he hit the wall was dozens of times, hundreds of times more successful.
As for what is even more hateful, he has seen it before.
Local gangsters like to bully them, the foreigners who fled, the most. He is alone and is at most scolded, and it is nothing to do if he is careful.
But those guys who took their wives and children to Guandong suffered a lot. He once saw with his own eyes a pretty girl snatched away by a bully.
As for what happened later, he didn't know, but he didn't think it would be very good.
There are also wealthy families who give alms to steamed buns, and the owner may be kind and do good deeds. But in fact, the conscience of doing things is black. They throw the white steamed buns on the ground like feeding dogs, and stand aside to watch the fun.
These fugitives who came to Guandong to beg for food all the way to survive had long been starved to death by those who were entrusted with dignity. They could beg for food and walked here alive, and their dignity had long been thrown into the ground and trampled to pieces.
The steamed buns stained with soil were also snatched away, which was a joke for these little guys.
Later, he was arrested by the government and worked as a coolie for a while. He ate like pig food, all of them were wheat bran and millet mixed with sand. Fortunately, he escaped without strict supervision.
He also got some coins from kind-hearted people because of begging, and was beaten up by those beggars who formed gangs, because this is their territory and there are rules for begging.
When he passed Shanhaiguan, it was almost winter. In order not to be frozen to death, he worked as a short-term worker in a pretty good family for a while and survived the winter.
It is already a good life to have work, food, a place to live, and save some wages. If he is alone, he will definitely stay here and not leave.
However, he still couldn't let go of his sister. Is she suffering?
Chen Letong was worried, and after saving enough money, he continued to set off again.
But in this world, it would be abnormal if there was no situation on the road!
Halfway through, he met the horse bandits, and he turned into a beggar again. But the most dangerous ones were not the horse bandits, but the Japanese and Russians, because they were unscrupulous in killing people.
Once accidentally, he followed a group of refugees to the guard area of the Russian garrison. The Russian soldiers would not be polite and directly treated them as Japanese spies and chased them like they were chasing rabbits.
Bullets flew around, and many refugees were shot in the back and fell to the ground. Then, the Cossack cavalry rushed up with sabers, regardless of men, women, young and old, and they would slash them as soon as they saw them!
Chen Letong burst into great enthusiasm and ran into the forest. The Cossack cavalry felt it was troublesome to chase them and were too lazy to chase them, so he escaped.
That time, only a few lucky people escaped in the refugee team of dozens of people, and the others became the military achievements of the Russian soldiers. The Russian soldiers would record a note on the merit book, how many spies killed the Japanese on a certain month and a certain day.
He was unfortunate and had experienced so much suffering.
But he was also lucky, at least he met his relatives alive.
Those who were even more unfortunate than him had long become corpses and graves along the way.
