Chapter 18 Chapter 17 Bandits

"It's not easy for you, Uncle Wei, let's have another drink." Liu Haizhu said. "Nothing is difficult, it's all for living. Whoever is well-clothed is willing to do this. God gives you such a life, you have no choice." "It's not easy, it's really not easy." "My lungs are not all choked by soot. I choked. I choked in a flood accident. In the winter, a big mouthful of dirty coal water choked into the lungs. Is that okay? ! Now the phlegm I cough up is all black." Liu Haizhu didn't know what to say. "Anyway, I'm just waiting to die now. I'm sure I won't be coughing anymore. I'm 72 this year, and I'm living enough. My wife is 9 years younger than me, and he's been gone for 3 years. I think I'm going too."

Even when he was talking about the topic of his own death and his past misery, the old Wei head still had a supercilious expression, as if he was talking about other people's business.Old Weitou is waiting to die, and Er Dongzi's master is also waiting to die, but the states of these two people waiting to die are really different.Er Dongzi's master waited for death in order to complete the task of living, doing nothing every day, just waiting for the day of death to come soon.But old Weitou is completely different. He lives with passion and enjoyment every day. Although his body is in great pain, his pride remains undiminished.

The hardships of life and physical pain will wipe out the pride and fighting spirit of most people in this world.But none of this can be seen in Old Weitou. He is still alive and domineering, and still loves all the big things and small things in this world.There is no need to explain too much, as long as you see his eyes, you will understand everything. Liu Haizhu learned something from this old man: no matter how cruel the real life is, no matter how uncertain the future is, never kneel down in front of life, and live with your neck up in front of life!Don't kneel down!Stand up straight with your neck up!

"Come on, let's do one more!" Liu Haizhu toasted again. "Young man, you can drink a lot. I haven't met such a drinkable opponent in many years." "I'm your age, I don't know if I can drink as much as you do." "You sure can't drink it." "Why?" "I smoked opium when I was young, and I smoked too much. This little alcohol has no effect on me." "...Did you still smoke opium before?" "Our whole family grows opium. My grandfather, father, and uncle are all opium growers. My three elder brothers are also all opium growers. When the Japanese devils were here, our entire nine provinces in the Northeast, All nine provinces have land where our family grows opium! The big green bricks used to build our house are neither stronger nor weaker than the imperial palace."

"The business was confiscated later, right?" "Confiscation? Hehe, when it's time for confiscation?! About 100 miles west of your city, there is a piece of reed land, right?" "right." "Where the reeds can grow well, you can grow big smoke! The reed field in the past is where I planted big smoke." "Where reeds can grow, can smoke be grown?" "Yes, actually I didn't stay there for that long. I was in my twenties with a bad temper. I offended a relative who was an official. In the middle of the night, they brought a small group of bandits to our house and set fire to it and ransacked it. I had already married at that time, except for the servant, there were four members of my family, and I was the only one who survived."

"It's not easy to come out alive." "Look at my neck, my head might have been chopped off that night." Liu Haizhu looked carefully: Ho!The big scar on Old Wei's neck is really scary when you look closely.It was as if the head had been put back on the neck after being beheaded. "I ran to the stables, cut the bridle of a fine horse, and escaped from this fire. Then, never came back." "And then came here?" "Come here? I have been liberated since I came here." "What did you do for the remaining 10 years?" "I have been a bandit and joined the regular army to fight devils, I have killed enemies and I have been to Guangdong and Guangxi... There are too many, I can't remember at the moment!"

"Then, how did you and my godfather meet?" "You godfather, you saved me." "When a bandit?" "During the Liberation War. Good! No more talk! Sleep!" After saying the word "sleep", Old Wei tilted his head on one side and fell asleep.Just like a light switch, you can fall asleep if you say you sleep, it's really unambiguous. Liu Haizhu looked at the old Wei head, and couldn't tell what it was like. Compared with this awesome old man in front of him, his own life experience was really nothing.Look at this old man, who has experienced subjugation, prosperity, extermination, revenge, bandits, soldiers, etc., and finally settled down in the shed of Dayue Sigong Village when he was over 40 years old, and became a millionaire. One of the coalspots.It's been more than 30 years, getting married and having children here, what kind of life is this!
