Chapter 43 Chapter 42 Food Coupons

Liu Haizhu looked down the ditch, and there was a large expanse of white flowers. Although the moonlight was bright, he still couldn't see what was underneath. "Don't look, just listen to me. I have been traveling for so many years, and it is not a big deal to meet a dead man's clothes in the middle of the night. I walked away for more than 10 meters that day, continued to dig grass roots, and then dug up the dead man's clothes. " "Dig it again?!" "I'll go away and dig again! I got to the bone!" "..." Liu Haizhu opened his mouth wide.

Old Wei stood up with a cane on his head, pointed to the big ditch below with the cane and said, "Do you know what's down there!?" "Where?" "Wan, bone, pit!!!" Old Wei stuttered every word. Liu Haizhu looked down: My god!That large area of ​​white flowers in the ditch turned out to be dead bones!It's not that Liu Haizhu has never seen dead bones, but when did he see so many dead bones? !How many dead bones are there?Bones piled on top of each other, filling up the entire ditch. No matter how courageous Liu Haizhu was, his hairs stood on end in fright.He was so frightened that he sobered up. On a hot day, Liu Haizhu felt chilly.

Old Wei's tone was still calm: "Below here are the bones of our Chinese miners who were killed by the Japanese devils. This pit was only dug out this spring, and these bones were not seen again. But I knew it 30 years ago. It’s a bone pit. Back then, it wasn’t buried deep at all. When I came here, I didn’t even have my clothes rotted. But now, look, there are only bones left.” Liu Haizhu still didn't recover, and stared blankly at the strange and magnificent bone pit in front of him. The old Wei head continued: "That night, after I found out that this place is a pit of thousands of bones, I also had the same expression and fear as you do today. The grass where I slept all night turned out to be a pile of dead people! I couldn't leave at that time. Knowing where to go, I sat on the pile of dead people all night until dawn. I can't remember what I was thinking about that night. I just remember that after dawn, I had only one thought: I want to find someone Where there are people, where there are living people. Live where there are living people! Live until you die!"

"Then you went to Dayue Sigong Village?" "Yes, but at that time, it was not called Dayue Sigong Village. The first person who gave me porridge was a widow. Without this bowl of porridge, I might have died. After drinking the bowl of millet gruel, I Just swear, you must treat this widow well, and you must treat her well for the rest of your life!" "She is……" "My girl's mother, my wife." "Understood." "Understood? What did you understand? Let me tell you, from that day on, I finally figured it out. Life is better than anything else. Also, the most important thing in life is not to avenge your revenge, not to be successful , but should be kind to those who have been kind to you, and make your loved ones happy. If you die, you will be like the pile of bones in front of us. If this is the case, how can you repay those who have been kind to you?! You thought these bones were old men like me before? Let me tell you, these dead people were all strong men when they died! They were all flesh and blood! They were all born by their parents! They all grew up eating rice Yes! They used to be grandpa＊＊＊darlings!”

Liu Haizhu seemed to understand why old Weitou brought him here.Old Wei brought him here, certainly not to educate him on patriotism, nor to tell him his history of blood and tears.Instead, tell him: Only by living well can he be worthy of those who care about him. "Uncle Wei, I understand." "Do you really understand? Come on, my father and I, let's have another cigarette." Old Wei sat down again with trembling head: "I also have something to do to my wife. From the day I met her, I told her that I My surname is Wei, from Hebei. My family has been a farmer for generations. All the family members died of starvation and escaped from the famine. My wife really believed it. I didn’t tell her until the day she died. My surname is actually Zhou, and my hometown is Hebei. Wrong, but my family used to grow opium, I killed enemies on the street, and I also carried guns for gmd. Guess what my wife said?"

"How to say?" "My wife laughed. She said she doesn't care who I am. I have lived with me for more than 30 years and gave birth to a girl. Her leg was broken long ago and her tendons are connected. What's the use of talking about it? It is useful, and that is to say to Lord Yan when he is reporting: My wife's surname is Zhou, tell me when he comes down too, don't make a mistake." Only then did Liu Haizhu know that this old Wei head turned out to be old Zhou head.But Liu Haizhu was still very puzzled: "Why didn't you tell your wife the truth?"

"Honestly?! If I told her everything I did, it would scare her to death! After all, she's still a bitch. If I told her the truth, and later turned against the Rightists and the Cultural Revolution, she would still Don't be scared?! I did lie to her, but it was for her own good. Man, sometimes lying or even lying is not bad. " "En..." Liu Haizhu remembered the lie he told Old Wei. "I'm here today, and I've chatted with you a lot. You are a smart person, and you know why I tell you this. My old Weitou can't live for a few days, so I just want you to live well. You are a good person, Zheng Li is also a good child. You two, if you can be together, live a good life, live a good life."

"Uncle Wei, I understand." "You are a smart person, so I won't say much. Of course, I want you to live a good life, and I don't want you to swallow everything. If someone bullies you, you will really do something to your woman. You should beat him Just beat him up, kill him if you should kill him! Who made you a man! Who made you grow a dick!" Looking into old Wei's eyes, Liu Haizhu nodded seriously. "Okay, let's go! I've said everything I need to say. Let's go back to sleep!" Liu Haizhu and Old Weitou walked back along the thorny path, and the moon had risen to the very center of the sky.In just a few minutes, Liu Haizhu seemed to have walked for several years.The bone pit full of bones really cleansed Liu Haizhu's heart.In the next thirty years of Liu Haizhu's life, every time he got drunk, he remembered the scene he saw that day, and he couldn't forget every word that Old Weitou said that day, and every word lingered in his ears.

Old Wei coughed and leaned on a cane, watching Liu Haizhu unlock the bicycle. But that day Liu Haizhu couldn't open the lock no matter what, and was sweating profusely. "What's the rush?!" Old Wei said. Liu Haizhu suddenly knelt down towards Old Wei's head. Old Wei asked, "What's wrong?!" Liu Haizhu said: "Uncle Wei, I let Er Dongzi steal Zheng Li's big brother's food stamps. I didn't know that the bag was full of military food stamps..." Old Weitou said: "Get up! I knew it a long time ago. Now, it's time for you to pay off your debts." Old Weitou's eyes became a little human again.

Liu Haizhu still knelt on the ground with a dazed expression on his face. "What's wrong?! You're still waiting for me to help you!?" Old Wei returned to his defiant eyes. After many years, Liu Haizhu finally understood.I blush when I tell a little lie, with this little acting skills, can I fool Old Wei? !When old Weitou was wandering the rivers and lakes, he, Liu Haizhu, hadn't been born yet!
