Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen is the most hasty resignation day

Don't gossip, let's say that Wan Defu couldn't help roaring a few words in the secret room, which touched the echo wall mechanism, but he didn't think that his roar only broke the second "sparrow" of this mechanism; He said "mantis arm", but it had already been opened when he pulled up the cement board under his feet with his unique sleeve arrow inserted.At this moment, a mudslide came - only Wan Defu didn't have any nets under his body to cover; he turned the swallow body upside down and couldn't dodge it, and he didn't know how many thousand catties it weighed and how many hundreds of buckets it weighed. He closed his breath, his eyes turned black, and then he suddenly remembered that Qian Jingnong among the six elders was the craftsman who was forced to set up a trap but also saved the elders of the old Cao Gang. His sons and grandchildren; he also remembered that from the time Wei Sanye gave him a pack of "vegetarian roasted oriole", to this "mantis arm" and "sparrow tongue" as the key mechanism, isn't it all about "mantis"? Catch the cicadas, the oriole is behind" warning.It's a pity that he didn't figure it out: who is the praying mantis?Who is Cicada?Who is the oriole?If the erratic and weird Liu Lao compared himself to a cicada and Wandefu to a praying mantis, then what should it be the oriole?

If Liu Lao himself were a mantis, then Wan Defu could be either a cicada or a squirrel—because he followed Liu Lao so far with all his strength, and when he saw that he was about to turn the clouds to see the sun, he fell into a trap unexpectedly. Once Li Shouwu's hut was destroyed, I am afraid that he will also be buried in the wilderness, and there is no hope of surviving.Just like that, it was a mantis, a cicada, a cicada, and an oriole, and Wan Defu's body stopped falling; but when he heard a "crash", his whole body followed suit. I don't know how much thatch, sand, rubble, and books one after another were all thrown into the Bitan.Wandefu shivered a little, but his heart felt warm: this time he didn't die!Those six old poisons didn't intend to harm me.Just as the thought came to a head, my legs touched something soft and cool; it was the mud in the shallow water by the pool.Wan Defu turned around and looked up, and found that the hole where he fell into the pool before was covered by a large clump of awn flowers and reed leaves, which was very concealed, and the bottom of the hole was only five or six feet high from the pool surface. The sixth elder did not intend to hurt his body.Looking back like this, he accidentally caught a glimpse of his second sleeve arrow firmly tied to a small tree trunk behind him.A piece of bark was peeled off in front of the arrowhead and behind the arrow feathers, and the words "Fu" and "Horse" were engraved on the remaining white.There is no doubt about what Wandefu saw. This is the most common recognition of the old Cao Gang: it is to make people who see this thing walk a certain distance in a certain direction.

This is not difficult for Wan Defu.When the old Cao Gang was still in the grain and rice gang stage, the sailors on board learned a way to watch the wind and see the distance.The method is to stretch the arms forward, and bend the palms to the side, as if covering the face with the palms; in fact, the distance between the distant object and the place where you are standing is calculated by using the distance between the palms and fingers and the size ratio of the distant object. The distance between them can be calculated by experienced sailors as far as tens of miles away, and the error is often less than a few inches.

In addition, since the grain and rice gangs transported from south to north are all common people's livelihood food, the commonly used incisions were borrowed from the "Lu Chen" line of this kind of transaction.For example: Wheat is not called wheat, it is called "Xiandu", barley is not called barley, it is called "Qianer", sesame is called "Shavings", glutinous rice is called "Jiaren", one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety is called "When does it often fall when the wheat is heavy and springs to seek the west", the southeast and northwest are called "dragons, birds, tigers and horses", and so on.Then one "horse" and one "volt" are exactly north, eight miles away.

Sure enough, this Wandefu, who was covered in mud, his face was bruised, and his limbs were bruised and swollen from the collapsed earth and rocks, staggered northward for eight miles, and reached the boundary of Jingmei Land, where there was a tree on the side of the road. On the ebony electric pole, he saw his third sleeve arrow, which was the same as the second one before. This sleeve arrow was also engraved with the words "volt" and "horse" at the end and end. Needless to say, he also You have to go forward again. When he was about to pick out his fifth sleeve arrow, Wan Defu couldn't help feeling tense and courageous—it was already dusk, but he walked back to the entrance of Ningbo West Street where his ancestors lived. "" was changed to "Tiger", and "Fu" was changed to "Chang"; in other words: this means walking one mile westward.Wan Defu couldn't help gasping, and thought: Isn't this telling me to go back to my ancestor's house?While thinking about it, he didn't dare to be negligent; Wan Defu looked at no one around, raised his spirits, and used the posture of "Buddha crossing the river" to rise more than eight feet from the ground, Lingxu Yufeng, She cut steps in the air, but after hearing a few hunting sounds of "swipe", "swipe", and "swipe", she jumped a few feet higher, and the person had already lightly landed on the wire.Then there was another set of "Crying Ping and Broken Moon", bouncing westward along the wire, with a step of five or seven feet, and returning to the ancestral home in a blink of an eye.

But before he leaned against the pole head in front of the mansion, Wan Defu remembered an old rule: Ever since the Guangxu period when the old Cao Gang ate the world in Yuandai Building, Hong Ying suffered a big loss, and all the elders came back in disgrace. In the old hall of Xiaodongmen's ancestral home, Yu Hangcheng felt ashamed of his neglect of responsibility for his business and lack of control, so he immediately resigned from the old man's position.At that time, eight or sixty-four gang leaders had just returned from the Suzhou River, and they were all dirty and smelly, and there was no time to clean them.This is the most unbearable humiliation since the establishment of the Lao Cao Gang.Yu Hangcheng avoided the main hall, entered through the corner door of the old hall, led the crowd to the back room to fill up the "water tap", and then took a bath together with the crowd.In the bath, no one could not bear to cry and feel ashamed of his miscalculation.Therefore, Wan Ziqing, who will inherit the position of the old man and lead the gang in the future, issued an edict: Anyone who is a bachelor in my nunnery and enters the ancestor's house must have clean clothes and must not be disheveled, dusty or muddy; even if there is an urgent official business. Ancestors' homes, who have to be polluted by the wind and dust of the road, should also enter and exit through the side corner gates.Therefore, no matter whether the ancestor's family moved to Changsha, Chongqing or even Taipei, another corner door must be set up on the side of the main hall, called "Xihuo Gate"; shame.This door has always been set on the wall on the west side of the main entrance of the ancestor's mansion, forming a ninety-degree angle with the main entrance. Usually, the inside and outside sides are sealed and re-locked, so that foreign guests can't come in and out through it.Inside this door, another sandwich wall is built with bricks and stones, forming a three-foot-wide passage with the north-south wall outside, leading directly to the bathroom in the west chamber of the third entrance.Sometimes an entrance is added in front of the bathroom for people to rest.And this narrow passage also has a name called "Thinking Corridor". There are two feet high walls on the left and right sides of this corridor. It is dark and damp all year round, and people who pass by will always feel a little bit of coolness and loneliness. All of them bowed their heads and rushed forward; it fits the ancestral motto of "washing away humiliation and thinking about mistakes".

Wandefu was covered with dirt, and at the time it was three parts like a human and seven parts like a ghost, so it was inconvenient to enter through the main entrance; I had to walk west along the wire for two vertical lengths, turned over with a kite, and jumped directly into the place. In "Thinking Corridor".Unexpectedly, his feet just touched the ground, but he saw the remaining seven sleeve arrows in his treasure bag lined up, inserted upside down under the beam of the porch hut at the bottom of the corridor; six of them were inserted deeper, and one was inserted deeper. shallow.This is a very clear way of inserting incense in the eyes of the bachelors in the gang - usually, regardless of the size of the incense hall, when encountering difficult matters, it is impossible for the high-ranking person to arbitrate, and it is inconvenient for the subordinates to make decisions without authorization. The procedure of majority decision is very similar to the voting behavior of modern democratic deliberations.The procedure is to set up another small blue porcelain or celadon incense burner in the incense hall, and agree to insert incense as a sign; those who have the same opinion may insert it in the shape of a plum blossom, or in the shape of a seven star, or even in the shape of an eight immortal star or a nine-treasure lotus lamp. Not one, it is necessary to take a formed body posture as an example.If it can’t be formed—that is, there are those who disagree with the incense holders—the incense in their hands should be inserted shallower or farther away.Assuming that all the people have inserted the incense, everyone gathers around and reads it to see if it is in shape, and then decide whether it can be made into a collegiate agreement.

The seven sleeve arrows left by the six elders on the door beam were lined up in a row, unable to form a pattern.This means that they know that they are not bachelors from the old Cao Gang, so it is inconvenient to go beyond their limits and put up figures that only bachelors can display.But this kind of arrow insertion is not without purpose - it seems to be telling Wan Defu that the six elders are already united as one, advancing together and retreating together, and hope that Wan Defu can follow suit with them, regardless of inside and outside; One sleeve arrow was inserted into the wood at the same distance as the other ones, but it was inserted slightly shallower by one or two points.Wandefu understood it carefully, and slightly pondered some meanings: Could it be that these six elders specially led me here, and regarded me as a colleague who has neither long nor young, neither respect nor humble, "line by line", only what I know Knowledge and knowledge are still one or two points shallow-if this is the case, how can we go deep into comprehension?

While thinking, Wan Defu stepped into the hallway and took off his coat, trousers and shoes.Turning his head, he saw that the paper door between the entrance room and the bathroom was opened about a palm-width gap, and there were wisps of white smoke coming out of the fumigation inside.Wandefu was naturally curious, secretly said,!This lame nanny is so supernatural, how can I save the six elders from teaching the six elders to make a muddy, smelly and unbearable mess; unexpectedly, she will fill the "water tap" and wait for me to come back to take a bath?Thinking of this, he gently opened the paper sliding door, and sure enough, he saw that the "water faucet" was 70% full, and the heat inside was rising.There are panties and towels on the side, and a pair of brand new gangster cotton shoes.In the middle of the bench not far away, a pile of black clothes and trousers, which also appeared to be brand new, was neatly stacked.The most unexpected thing for Wonderful is the "water faucet"——

As I said before: The "water dragon trough" is a unique thing of the old Caobang. It is custom-made. It must be made of high-quality cypress. Among them, there is the ritual of fasting and purifying the body, which is always useful.There are four rollers placed under the trough, which also need to be planed from red cypress; / The four directions are unimpeded".The reason why there is a wooden wheel under the tub is that there is a textual research that said that in the early years, the founder of the Liangmi Gang, Faluo, was a branch of Buddhism, so the four wheels actually refer to the "dharma circle".But this source is too tortuous, not as pragmatic as the second statement.This second statement is still related to the scene of the Lao Caobang setting up nunneries in various places in the early years.At that time, the nunnery was poor and shabby, and the bachelors ate their own food, so they couldn't afford to hire servants.In ordinary life, it is indeed a group of self-made Han people who live in different ways and help each other.It is troublesome and exhausting to fetch water for bathing alone.But everyone sleeps in the same room, and it is still warm in winter, but in summer, the sour sweat and smelly skin on everyone's body is very unbearable.A clever bachelor invented a small device: four wooden wheels were installed under a large wooden barrel, and when used, the whole wooden barrel could be moved to the side of the well to hold water, and then drilled into the barrel to take a bath on the spot. It is very convenient to pull out the soft plug at the bottom of the bucket to drain the sewage.This large bucket that can move freely has a name, it is called "water dragon trough"; it means that it is pushing the trough back and forth, moving back and forth flexibly, just like a dragon playing in water.No matter how civilized the life of the later generations of An Qing bachelors, they always bathe in wooden barrels.Even if there is no roller under the barrel, it is often necessary to engrave or draw four wheel-shaped patterns on the place where the wooden wheel was originally installed, so as to imitate the old system of "water faucet".

But Wandefu just rolled over into the trough, and the rollers under the trough suddenly loosened, and moved forward as if an engine was installed-this is not surprising, this bathroom is convenient for drainage, and the floor is paved. In fact, the cement bottom has a high and low slope angle, so a piece of triangular wood should be stuck under the "water faucet" wheel to prevent slipping.I don't know if it was Ye Lai lame nurse who was sad and lost her mind, and forgot to insert the triangular wood back in place, or what.In short, this "water faucet" seemed to be a runaway horse for a while, and suddenly slid towards the end of the bathroom. Seeing that it was about to hit the stone wall, it suddenly stopped, Wan Defu leaned forward and looked down, and saw that the wheel was flat.There were two more black tiles that should not have appeared here at all.At this moment, Wan Defu patted his head twice, thinking to himself: If the Six Elders can persuade me to go back to my ancestor's house, can't they arrange traps in this bathroom?it is good!You have wronged me for most of the day, and now it takes a lot of time to wait for me to take a bath; let me search and find out: what tricks do you have to play?Thinking of this, Wandefu leaned forward, wanting to see something—why did this "water faucet" stop here?But at this moment, he heard a burst of laughter. It turned out that the position where the "water faucet" stopped was facing a stone wall.The other side of this wall is a corner between the third west wing of the old house and the south side room; the layout is square, and it was originally the inner room of the south side room.According to the old system of the Cao Gang, this square corner has neither windows nor doors, and is only separated from the outer room of the south side room by a gust of wind, so it is usually very dark.Even in the daylight, you have to hold a lamp to distinguish things.Mr. Wan dislikes its confinement and turbid air, so he seldom goes here; so most of them are only used to store some ceremonial guards, files and other things.Unless there is something that is not well known to outsiders and has little to do with the family affairs of the ancestors, I will bypass Xifeng and explain it here.Usually Sui Xing is nothing more than Lame Nanny, Hun Ha Ercai, Wan Xi and the others doing something inappropriate or inappropriate in sweeping and responding to advancing and retreating. Mr. Wan will always call people to this room in the southwest corner of the old house. Rebuke and teach.According to Mr. Wan, this southwest corner was originally a place of execution in the old system of the ancestor's family. When someone in the old Cao gang violated serious rules and had to be dealt with by family law, it was often executed here.But Wan Defu did not expect that a hole about the size of a soybean had been cut through the wall where his eyes could see.The strange thing is: this hole is newly dug, and there is still stone powder residue at the hole mouth, which drips down the wall along with a vein of water.In addition, the hole is not cut horizontally and straight, but has a slight angle to the upper right.Wan Defu naturally leaned his face closer and leaned against the wall to take a closer look—seriously saw the young master Wan Xi sitting on the chair that Mr. Wan usually taught his family, his handsome face flickered from time to time, I don't know if it was a candle or a lamp The halo of flames.But his face was very solemn, and the laughter obviously came from another person.It's just that the hole can't turn, so it's hard to see who is coming.But after the man laughed, he said again: "Even I can't think that this kid is seventeen years old, but he has such courage and courage. Come! Zhaner, you can use your best part "The Burning Warship" > Sing a few lines to Uncle Xiaoxi." Immediately, Pingkong burst into a roar—it was another vigorous, clear and vigorous voice—yelled a ban, and he sang the verse of Huang Gai setting fire in "Red Cliff Fighting Soldiers".Yuan Shihai and Qiu Shengrong collaborated on a recording of this play in the past—Yuan played the role of Cao Cao, and his acclaimed aria was naturally a fragment of "Henglong Fu Poetry"; The workmanship is delicate and gentle, with a strong nasal cavity, and the common people often call it "cold face".However, in "Soldiers on the Red Cliff", Cao Cao is the main character of course, so when designing this second clean angle match, he assisted Qiu Shi, who is known for being gentle, so that the respective characteristics of the two sides complement each other without conflicting.But at this moment, the person in the room next door singing "Burning the Warship" at the top of their voices is not using Qiu Pai's singing, but Yuan's singing, which can shake the roof tiles. Catching up with Jin Shaoshan's momentum—— "A real man can change the world--/Dongfeng sent the first boat/Dajiang waited for me to add charcoal/Red Cliff waited for me to dye my face/Thousands of miles long flow as Zhejiang horse training/Trust hand Shujuan Lu Pingchuan/Dongfeng rises/Burn the warship/ You should laugh at me with gray hair and the first whip/Fire is more helpful to the hero/Teach it 830,000 ashes and smoke to extinguish the fire and chase the sky/Pick up the wind and thunder and make a sacrifice——call——” This person finished singing, and the previous person burst into laughter again, saying: "Master Xi! This is not just singing! If the puppy was born in the Three Kingdoms era, Huang Gai's first battle will not only teach him to win Guang , I’m afraid Lu Xun won’t even have anything to do with the 700-mile burning camp!” Wan Xi pursed his lips slightly, forced a wry smile, and said, "Dagong is a hero of his life, as the so-called "a tiger father has no dogs"; your son's future achievements are not trivial." "Master Xi, you've praised me too much! But Master Xi is now in charge and has tens of thousands of people, so the situation is no small matter!" The man said, hahaha a few more times, and then said: "So, I It’s still the old sayings before, and the predecessors have clearly taught: "Green leaves, red flowers and white lotus roots/Dingli rivers and lakes do not separate families." Back then, Gui’an Qing and Hong Ying, together with the White Lotus Sect in the five provinces of Zhilu, Henan, and North, if they could Unity is a city, regardless of each other, and has long ruled the world. The ancestors sacrificed the "sea bottom" in order to gather heroes from all corners of the country, in order to achieve a great cause that shocks the ancients and the present. If the old predecessors are sympathetic Reasonable, so that there will be no unnecessary misunderstandings in the future-these, alas! When Mr. Wan was around, I did not know how many times I said it, and I did not know that I wrote hundreds of letters, but he refused to listen. The master is about to be in charge, why don't you put the little old man's words in your arms and think twice—" What the man said next was rustling, and Wan Defu couldn't hear it clearly—but at this moment, he didn't need to hear it clearly—he already knew with absolute certainty that the other party was Hong Da, the hereditary leader of the Gelaohui in the early years. Zhan, the word wing opened, his father made his fortune in Hangzhou Gai Power Plant in his early years.The anti-Japanese army flourished, and Hong Dazhan was born as a rich man in the oil and electricity industry. He lost huge sums of money and raised food and salaries.In the last quarter of the Anti-Japanese War, he jumped into politics; with the call of developing industry and revitalizing business, he was especially good at dealing with foreign debts, and he tried his best to borrow his ability to move from place to place and go from place to place.What he is most proud of in his life is his self-created "Snake Grass Running Script", and he is even famous for it.It's just that Mr. Wan has never regarded this person as a decent person; and there have been spies pointing out that the public case of substituting cottonseed oil for tung oil and borrowing tung oil to repay the aid was exactly the idea of ​​this person.Unexpectedly, the bones of Mr. Wan were not yet cold, but this man entered the room in a grandiose way - after listening to the scene, he also brought his own son.Wan Defu's heart trembled, he scrubbed softly for a while, crept out of the "water tap", picked up the clothes and pants and the pair of cotton shoes on the bench, put them on, and then went back to the wall to listen.At this moment, it was Wan Xi who spoke there: "...Let's talk about it! The old man passed away suddenly, and there are still a lot of things waiting to be taken care of inside and outside the ancestor's house. The cooperation between the two gangs is a big deal; if you don't open the big incense Tang asked the elders of the flags and rudders what he meant, and he couldn't decide. It will be after the spring of next year. Of course, Dagong's kindness Wanxi should be grateful to accept it, but at this time I must make a promise, isn't it too hasty? What? After all, I have to take care of the old man's funeral first. " "I'm "too hasty" because I'm afraid that there will be some unseemly things happening behind Mr. Wan!" Hong Dazhan said, and suddenly changed his tone, and said: "Zhan'er! You hear what you heard Yuanyuan will tell Uncle Xiaoxi again." This man called "Zhan'er" suddenly cleared his throat, as impressive as he is singing his face, he is also a Huang Zhong Dalu and Zheng Gong: "A classmate from my former school gave me a phone call this morning and said The newspaper said that old guy Wan Yanfang died—" "Bastard! How are you talking? You don't understand any manners." Hong Dazhan seemed to slap his son softly, or on the head. The voice of the boy who was beaten became louder: "Didn't you teach me to say it all over again? Didn't I say it all over again? How the hell did you beat someone?" Peng Hong Dazhan reprimanded a few more words, but Wan Xi stopped him from the side, and said: "It doesn't matter, brother Zi Zhan and Shi can tell the truth." "My classmate said that the old guy Wan Yanfang died, and the elder brother in his gang said that this is a great opportunity—" "Wait, wait! Where did your classmate come from again?/Where did a big brother come from?" Wan Xi's brows tightened again, and there were two sharp green lights in the depths of his eyes. "This is from the Mixed Bamboo Union." Hong Zizhan replied in response. "It's a gang of little ghosts running house wine. It's been eight or nine years." It was Hong Dazhan who spoke. It is a big black mole, and there are dozens of thick and long life hairs growing on the mole.He continued: "Originally it was just a joke organization where children fight and make trouble, called "Bamboo Forest Alliance". In recent years, it has grown bigger and bigger, and has already started a land business." Wan Xi nodded, and asked Hong Zizhan, "Brother Zizhan, did that classmate say anything else?" "He also said that his elder brother asked them to mobilize their staff as soon as possible, and to do something for the old Cao Gang bachelor on the day of the funeral of Lao Wan's hair—" "Wait! What do you mean messing around?" "To do it is to do it! It's called to do it if you don't care about it, and it's called it to do it with a sack. It's also called a mess to see if any house is unsatisfactory, and I will burn it down to nothing." It's "fuck it up"; it means a lot anyway." "Then there is something going on?" Wan Xi said, nodded slightly, then smiled suddenly, turned his face to Hong Dazhan and said, "He is here to "make a name for himself." "Master Xi can't take it lightly. The reason why I brought the puppy to befriend you, Master Xi, is not only for the purpose of "entrusting education", but also for Master Xi to listen to the children of their generation. What is the power of the Zi family—to put it simply: if we old gangsters don’t come up with some measurements, I am afraid we will teach these children who run the house to invite them into the ancestral hall.” Wan Xi didn't answer when he heard that, but turned to Hong Zizhan and said, "Then Zizhan Shi is also a hero of the "Bamboo Forest Alliance"?" That! It’s just—it’s just that everyone is hanging around outside, “Bamboo Union” found me, and I—” Wan Xi smiled again, and said, "So, on the day of our old man's funeral, you also want to come and "do something"?" "He dares!" , Wan Xi continued to smile, and continued: "What do you mean by Brother Shi?" "Outsiders say that there are many capable people in the old Cao Gang, and they are as tall as they are. If the rumors are true, Uncle Xiaoxi doesn't have to worry; if the rumors are not true, it doesn't make any difference if I have one more or one less. ?” "That's great! Uncle Xiaoxi made you a friend!" Wanxi shrunk as he spoke, and then sat back to his original position, which lasted about three to five seconds.Because the hole was too small, Wan Defu saw it, and only thought that Wanxi picked something from under the chair.The next moment, even Wanxi's face was covered tightly by a yellow object, Wan Defu naturally took a deep breath, but smelled a smell of cowhide, and then the yellow object disappeared instantly, Wan Xi's smiling face appeared again.With a sound of "Yesterday Da", like a metal hinge closing, Wan Defu guessed five or seven points: the yellow thing turned out to be a suitcase.Wan Xi has already continued: "This is my meeting gift, a little toy, a little toy." "I'm afraid it's a real thing?" Hong Dazhan said, "It should be made in Germany." "Dagong has good eyesight." Wan Xi said: "My son is a young hero; let me show my respect for this little toy. The product is new, and it is very good. I only tried five rounds, and the accuracy is very good. Alright—Brother Zizhan! If you don’t dislike it, one day you and your brothers from the “Bamboo Forest Alliance” will come to my ancestor’s house to “do something” and it may come in handy.” Speaking of this , actually burst out laughing. But Wandefu in the bathroom was creepy to hear—needless to say: the "little toy" that Wanxi kept talking about should be a pistol made in Germany, and it was a new one.The scary thing is: why has this gun fired "five rounds"? Doesn't the number of "five shots" exactly match the number of bullet holes in the chest of Mr. Wan and the number of five bullets on the small pavilion in the lotus pond?In addition, why did Wanxi give this gun to Hong Zizhan, who sounded like they met for the first time?If Hong Zizhan really had something to do with the gangster boy in the new organization "Bamboo Forest Alliance", was the gift of the gun just to win over friends?Or demonstrations and provocations?On the other hand, it seems that Hong Dazhan's earnest words still made An Qing and Hong Ying—that is, the old Cao Gang and Tiandihui—make an oath and alliance, but the motive was to unite the two old forces In order to prevent or suppress the emergence of emerging gangs; but Wan Xi's attitude seems to be between everything and everything.If Wanxi really goes against the original intention of Mr. Wan, and wants to form an alliance with the Tiandihui party members, and even commits the crime of fornicating his family, deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors, how can Wandefu stop?All he needs to do is gather up all his energy, urge the skill of raising his palm, break through the wall immediately, and he will definitely kill this disobedient person in an instant.However, things don't seem to be that simple - at least when dealing with speeches, Wanxi still maintained the politeness and dignity of being a bachelor of Qing Dynasty.As much as Hong Da showed his favor, and condescendingly called this person who was more than 20 years younger than him "Xi Ye"; The head of the elder brother's association looked up to him, and he was not in a hurry to discuss the plan of "unifying the rivers and lakes" with the other party.However, looking back, the same old question remained: If Wanxi had no intention of adultery with his parents, why did he give the child a pistol that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing?Even—why was it possible to welcome this unembarrassed father and son into the inner room of the house within a day of the death of Mr. Wan, and let the child sing at the top of his voice?Such a disrespectful, even disrespectful thing, even if he and his father and son of the Hong family could do it, how could Wan Xi, who was about to inherit the leader of the old Cao Gang, accept it for nothing?Just thinking of this, Wanxi spoke again: "Okay! I will first promise Dagong that you will "entrust me with education" entrusted.This little toy is considered a meeting gift.As for the formation of an alliance between the two gangs, let me discuss that matter later.It's the "Bamboo Forest Alliance", but I'm not interested in learning about them.Come!Ercai, send the Duke and Zizhan Shixiong to drive back for me! " Wandefu couldn't help but be surprised again when he heard the words - hehe Ercai is also accompanying him!Let's put it this way: the closest people around Mr. Wan seem to have heard some mysteries that he can't comprehend at all.And what is even more suspicious is: if Wan Xi's so-called "big event" is the funeral of Mr. Wan, when he talked about it, he said "my big event", which sounds strange; but Hen Ha Ercai, who was waiting by the side and never heard anything, seemed to have understood it very well. They even had no objection to Wan Xi's behavior of agreeing to Hong Dazhan's "teaching" Hong Zizhan-this, three feet of ice, It must have been a day's cold - there must be a complicated explanation, but at this moment he didn't know who to ask.It seems that apart from the forty-four-character strange poem left by Mr. Wan, a strange character made of five bullets, and the suspicious disappearance of six old people, he is nothing but a fool who knows nothing. . Traditionally, the old houses of the ancestral family have architectural customization and living rules.Of course, the old man regards his ancestral home as his home, and the old man takes care of his daily life by his side. There are no more than five or seven people who eat, eat and dress, or at least one or two people; this kind of people—like Wandefu and Lame Nanny—have no place in the gang.However, due to the close personal contact with the old man and the extraordinary relationship, he can still be respected and even respected by the old and young bachelors in the gang.However, in order to strictly distinguish between internal and external, successive old masters often have more careful and delicate precautions against this kind of personal servants.Like Mr. Wan in Japan, Hum Ha Ercai usually can only enter and exit the first and second main rooms and wing rooms. Unless called, he is not allowed to enter the third room; if called, most of them will be reprimanded. In terms of hospitality, it is generally only up to the second entry.This is because the Sanjin main hall is the ancestral ancestral hall, which enshrines the tablets of the old Caobang from Zen master Bifeng, Luo Zu, Weng, Qian, and Pan Eryi ancestors to the old masters.Except for the regular visits on the first, fifteenth day of each month and New Year's Eve, the shed only needs to burn incense and bow in front of the Zongzong tablet if it is related to the life and death of the gang; usually only lame nurses or Wandefu can come. Sweeping offerings.In other words: it is very unusual for my young master Wanxi to come to the small corner room to receive guests and talk so frankly tonight.If he had no other reason to claim, it could also be an act of disobeying the family rules of the ancestors. Wan Defu couldn't bear it any longer, and was about to rush out of the bathroom, turn over the wall of the thought corridor, and go back to the next door to ask what happened, when he suddenly heard Wanxi from the next door suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Oh! and also--" That side two didn't answer, but Hong Da replied: "Does Master Xi have any orders?" "Don't dare!" Wan Xi got up and left the seat, the hole was empty, and Wan Defu couldn't see anything.Wan Xi continued: "Our old man had a bachelor who was close to him during his lifetime, named Wan Defu, who came from the Beijing Liuhe Natural School." "Is it Wan Laisheng's apprentice?" "That's why his skills are excellent." Wan Xi said; "This person has disappeared since the old man passed away. I don't know where he went. But I don't know if the old man suddenly turned his blood and died like this, is it the same as Wan De What does this person have to do with Fu? How about asking Dagong and Zizhan Shixiong's friends outside to leave a note." "Master Xi, is he going to die or live?" "According to the rules, if the gang of bachelors want to arrest him, they can't lynch him without permission. They have to be sent back to the Zong family's house for interrogation. However, Dagong is a fellow in the world, and he is not from Anqing. Naturally, there is no need to escort us to trouble—— Only this person is extremely skilled, please be careful..." Wan Defu couldn't hear the words below, and couldn't bear to listen any longer.But when he clenched his fists and pointed into the palm mound, unexpectedly he made eight openings, immediately blood dripped into the "water faucet", and the sewage in the tank became as black and thick as black ink.Two lines of old tears also spewed out on the face, which can be said to be torrential.But even though there are so many grievances, grievances, sorrows and doubts entangled, Wandefu's spiritual platform has a small space, and there is still a sliver of clarity, and he immediately thinks: The six elders led me to the ancestor's house, and there must be someone who taught me to explore. Investigate the meaning in detail.Now I can't just focus on appealing for grievances and forget the physical evidence and clues on me.If Mao rashly showed up, wouldn't it be a "praying mantis catching cicadas, with the oriole behind" instead?Thinking of these eight words, Wan Defu not only understood the thoughts of the sixth elder, but also understood the purpose of the seven sleeve arrows inserted upside down on the door beam earlier - the sixth elder was inviting him to escape together, so that he could escape. Only by living a life can we find out the real intimacy? However, if Wan Defu is a general at this time, he can't help it, so he rushed out so recklessly and nonchalantly, appealing for justice and defending his grievances with his young master Wan Xi, not only might he not be able to save his life at the time, but The many relationships and entanglements between the old Cao Gang and the Tiandihui, between the National Government, and even with the development and changes of Taiwanese society in the next few hundred years will never be clarified.Why did Mr. Wan have to die?Is there any mystery in the last words that has to be hidden?Why did the six elders have to abscond?Why did the old Cao Gang have to further spread its power and twist it into the hub of a state machine?These will not only become a mystery forever, but also no one knows, no one knows, and no one remembers them.Compared with those who ride the waves in a light boat and fly on the snow, those who still have traces left are even more lost. Fortunately, this Wandefu has thousands of ambitions and all kinds of anger, but it can't resist the unwillingness to understand at all——I look at the direction and kneel down to the southeast. The southeast is separated by two stone walls. Outside the room are dozens of memorial tablets from the ancestor's family.Wan Defu closed his eyes, thought carefully about the memorial tablet that he swiped and wiped every day, kowtowed four times, and said silently: "The ancestors of the old Cao Gang are on the top, and the villains of the family are ten thousand. Blessed and prostrated and prostrated: Mr. Wan taught people to assassinate and die, and no one knew where to go. The villain bears the fate, but he also bears the injustice of deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors--God is sorry, the ancestors and clans are sheltering; People are lucky to live a humble life, and they always have to investigate this matter from beginning to end. It will be clear to the truth. If you don't die, you will do this thing every day; Think about this matter for a second. After this matter is over in the future, Wandefu will come to the ancestors and ancestors to ask for death and apologize." After kowtowing and wishing silently, Wandefu stood up with a "whoosh" sound, and the black clothes and trousers all over his body were soaked in the sewage on the ground and the clear tears in his eyes, making him skin-smooth. Skin, there is a bit of cool meaning.可只万得福自己明白得透彻：果如今正只他这孤影寒身是一条顶天立地的好汉。这好汉此刻已经五十五岁了，临去匆匆，抵不住在洗辱门内、思过廊间打了老大一个喷嚏——倏忽惊走几只犹在高墙上下觅食的野麻雀。从此，万得福竟尔走上一条再也不能回头的道路。
