    Chapter 8 Living in Troubled Times (1) (This chapter is free)

    What I hear them talking about is the chaotic world today. It has been almost a year since the establishment of "Manchukuo". The former Xuantong Emperor Puyi, who has abdicated, has ascended to the throne of "Manchukuo" again. That is, he is an emperor in disguise.  , but can the current Manchukuo compare with the previous Qing Dynasty?  The emperor was sitting in the Forbidden City. Although the Qing Dynasty did not fare well after that, the country was weak and the people were impoverished. The foreign powers invaded, ceded land to pay compensation, and lost power and humiliated the country. But no matter what you say, what you say can still be considered important, but let¡¯s look at it again  Now Manchukuo, with the Japanese behind it, can it be Puyi's turn to speak?  What I want to say is what the Japanese want to say, but I just borrowed his name and his mouth to make him look good-looking. In fact, there is nothing that can be said about it. To put it bluntly, the emperor should be like this  For his own sake, he's quite cowardly.

    I heard from Uncle Zhang that the eldest son of the old Li family in Qiantuner went to "Xinjing" (which is today's Changchun City, the capital of Jilin Province, and was the capital of the Puppet Manchuria at that time, and was renamed Xinjing). He asked someone to rape him and entered the security guard.  Bureau, became a policeman, and came back some time ago. Hey, he was so arrogant, his tail was almost raised to the sky. Uncle Zhang and his father are cousins-in-law. Ordinarily, they are not too far away. Uncle Zhang went to Qiantun that day.  When I asked for Tofu Tent, I happened to bump into the boy head-on. As a result, he rolled his eyes, curled his mouth, and pretended not to see me. He swung his coat, kicked up the snow on the ground with his shiny riding boots, and walked away.  The virtue of a human being is enough for a good person to look at for half a month.

    If in the past, when he saw me, he would come up all the way to say hello, calling me "uncle, uncle". Forget about the intimacy, it was just to pick out some good tofu and give me his bad beans.  , I was so angry that I didn¡¯t want to leave the tent, so I turned around and came back. I went home and lay down on the kang, sulking for a long time. Alas, he thought he had done a good job. I don¡¯t know how many people there were in the village.  People were poking at his spine, saying that he was a traitor and worked for the Japanese, and that his ancestral graves were covered in smoke.

    And my brother-in-law, he seems to have gained some power. When he talks to his neighbors, old neighbors, and old neighbors, his voice rises an octave. He always says, "Compete with me." Believe it or not, throw him into the police.  , He was not like this before, he was a very good person, why did he become like this?  This success, alas!  What kind of world is this? He is a traitor and a bitch. He doesn't follow the good road and has to get angry. He doesn't even know what the people in the village are talking about behind his back. They are all pointing at him when he walks on the road. He has no idea.  I woke up, thinking that nothing was wrong, but if it were me, I wouldn't have the nerve to leave the house, I would have moved away long ago, found a place where no one was, and squinted secretly!

    My second uncle said that he had a brother who wanted to be a leader. He had served in the Northeast Army before and served as a company commander. He was quite capable. After the September 18th Incident, he ran home to hide and stay quiet for a while. No, listen.  When it was said that "Manchukuo" was recruiting soldiers, I was tempted at that time. I didn't want to stay at home for a day, so I hurried to become a national soldier. I also brought two guns along with me, which were appreciated by the Japanese. I heard that I was doing well.  Yes, I got a battalion commander to work with him. He came back last month and forced his wife to divorce her.

    We old buddies tried to persuade him at the wine table, but he was determined and kept praising the Japanese, saying how great the Japanese were. Those planes and cannons were gone to sea, and sooner or later they would take over all of China.  , the small number of people in China are not enough for the Japanese, and old Chiang Kai-shek cannot bear the strength at all. Sooner or later, this world will belong to the Japanese. He also advises everyone to join the Japanese quickly, rush forward as soon as possible, and enjoy the glory.  Fugui also said that for the sake of being an old friend for many years, he was willing to introduce everyone to the Japanese. When I heard this, I became furious and overturned the table on the spot. Everyone didn't take a good look at him. The result was  We parted on bad terms, and when we got home, I was still feeling angry!

    Others don¡¯t know what his family is like, and I don¡¯t know yet. He used to run around outside, doing business, making friends, earning a living, tending the crops informally, and having food for his father and mother at home.  He didn't have a meal, he was so poor that he was about to beg for food, but his wife didn't dislike him. At that time, his father-in-law's family didn't agree to it, but his wife followed him firmly, took a burden, and came to live. After all,  When he was working in the fields, he was busy at home. He renovated the house inside and out, and it changed its appearance. He served his father and mother. Not to mention, he also gave birth to two children, one young and one young.  , his little life was prosperous, and he looked new inside and out all day long, looking like a human being.

    In our circle of buddies, there is no one who doesn¡¯t admire his wife. Whenever he mentions it, everyone gives him a thumbs up and says that he is a blessing he has cultivated in his previous life. With such a good wife, if it had been someone else, he would be like that.  Willing to marry him.  Later, when he was going to join the army, his daughter-in-law packed up her belongings without saying a word and let him go to the army. She was the only one to serve the elders, take care of the younger ones, send them off to their parents, and raise the children.  Big.  No, once he became an official, he was still a traitor, so he changed his mind. He said that the daughter of a wealthy family in Fengtian City fell in love with him and insisted on forcing his wife to divorce. Damn, this is heartless.  thing.

    I also asked someone to send me a message: "Second brother, you too?Come on, team. It¡¯s a good place to eat and drink. Not to mention how comfortable it is. We have guns in our hands. Anyone can give us three points. With your ability, it¡¯s easy to be a group leader.  , then my brothers will be able to hang out with you." After hearing this, I felt so disgusted and angry that I gave the person who had spoken the message a flying kick and kicked him out of the house.  If it weren't for your siblings, I would have killed him right then.

    I said to the person who brought the message: "You go back and tell that deficient only son that from now on, I, Tang Er, will not have a brother like him. From now on, we will sever all ties with him. He will take his Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge.  When he is an official, I farm my land. The two have nothing to do with each other. I don't care about people who eat well and drink hot food. He steps on the dog excrement pile. Don't drag me down the road. Tell him, don't let me, Tang Er, touch him. I won't be able to protect him.  Break his arms, legs, etc., get out! Tell that kid what I said." "Brother, tell me, how can I get along with this guy? I'm blind, I've seen the wrong person.  I made a careless friend,¡± I¡¯m still feeling angry in my heart, as if I¡¯ve eaten a fly, not to mention how disgusting it is.

    After the second uncle finished speaking, he shook his head, as if he was still angry. There was still uncontrollable anger in his eyes and tone.  "They are all bloodless and without moral integrity. They are holding the job of the Japanese, being used as dogs for the little devils, and they are still in trouble. The face of their ancestors has been completely disgraced."

    He also mentioned that maintenance committees should be established in every village, presidents should be elected, and taxes should be paid on this and that. But there were many more than when Marshal Zhang was in power, and I couldn¡¯t even remember the names.  , as long as every household has male laborers, they have to go on official business, and they have to take turns to select strong men to serve as national soldiers. The days will be even more miserable in the future, how can people live!

    Everyone was a little silent, no one said anything, and they all had complicated expressions on their faces. There was only the sound of "bah, bah" smoking and a few coughs. The smell of dry smoke in the room became stronger and stronger.  When I got up, the rosin oil lamp, which was not very bright in the first place, became even dimmer, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing, revealing confusion and incomprehension about the current situation and the world, as well as a mentality of being unable to see the future and direction clearly, and even slightly  Helplessness and fear hidden deep in my heart.  It¡¯s the fear of not being able to control one¡¯s own destiny.

    I listened quietly to everyone's conversation and looked at the expressions on everyone's faces. I didn't need to interrupt, and they didn't go behind my back. They probably thought I was a child and didn't understand too many things.  What scruples are there? Besides, the people in the room are all acquaintances who have known each other for many years and know each other well. They live in a village, where chickens and dogs know each other. Some are close relatives, and some are bare-chested children who grew up together.  Just say what you think, and say whatever comes to mind.

    From their conversation, I understood the current situation and roughly understood the current situation. Although what they said was quite general, I still didn¡¯t understand the deeper truth about some things. It¡¯s no wonder that, with my father and  The second uncle and the others have probably never been out of the mountains in their entire lives, let alone a big city, so it is impossible to understand much about the environment they live in.

    However, what they said were all things that happened around them, and they were all real-life examples. They also revealed their current mentality. This is very important to me. I need to master these to determine my next plan.  I used the information I saw in my previous life and verified each other with my memory, and it became clear that this was exactly what I needed. Although I have these information in my memory from my previous life, I can't guarantee whether it will be the same in the real world.  It will get out of shape, and the more I know about the current world, the better it will be for me.

    I am a person who wants to do big things. Fighting and destroying the Japanese devils is my only goal now. I should not be ambiguous about the environment I am in. I will use the memories of the past to carry out my war of resistance. I do not know how to adapt to local conditions.  Changing strategies according to different circumstances is asking for death. Pig heads, pigs are not that stupid, and it also insults the name of the special forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. People who have traveled through time and are familiar with history can't defeat little Japan, so what?  What a waste, you can just hang yourself, why not wash your neck and wait for the little Japanese to come and chop it off.

    While everyone was bored, several more people came into the room. The men went straight into the room. The women looked at me and went to the kitchen to help.  The people who came were all relatives, good friends or neighbors of Dad. Everyone had something in their hands, such as pheasants, hares, roe deer legs, sand pheasants and salted bracken.  Mushrooms and other game or mountain products, and some brought a few vermicelli, some white flour and so on, came over to see me, this one touched his head, that one held hands, they all looked very close, and everyone expressed their sincere gratitude.  I was so happy that I congratulated my dad one after another, some rolled cigarettes with paper, and some chatted with each other.

    My mother and my second aunt came into the house, took the things from everyone's hands, and kept expressing their gratitude. It could be seen that my mother was very happy today, smiling from ear to ear, and her face was shining. One was mine.  The injury made her feel relieved. Secondly, seeing so many people coming to see me, apart from the relationship between mom and dad, there should also be the factor of my good popularity.On the other hand, in the Northeast, especially in rural areas, these are valued very much.

    There is also a man who I call Uncle Huang. He said that his son and I have been close friends since childhood. We just have multiple heads and different surnames. He simply brought a jar of wine and said that he had saved it last year. It was 65 degrees.  The sorghum roast, the Erguotou cooked by someone else from the Liu family's pot, I haven't been willing to drink it, so I put it in the vegetable cellar. Now I take it out, everyone is very happy.  Some joked: "Old Huang, why aren't you stingy? It's not easy to drink your wine. I've been thinking about it for more than a year. Once, I caught a rabbit and didn't catch it. I didn't drink it.  "I said it was for my son's marriage, why are you willing to take it out today?"

    "That's different. Isn't it a good day today? Xiaoqiu has recovered from her injury and is blessed with good fortune. Nothing has happened. You don't know why, as soon as I heard that something happened to Xiaoqiu, my heart was twitching, not to mention too much.  After all, I saw that this kid looked like he was fine today. I was so happy that everyone was together so well. Besides, the eldest brother of the Old Tang family and his brothers usually helped everyone a lot.  Well, whoever is in trouble doesn't lend a hand to help. Everyone knows about these things, right? I can't bear to part with a jar of wine?"

    "That is, Xiaoqiu, a child who fell down from such a high mountain and managed to save his life. This child will have a good future. If it were you, his arms and legs would have been separated long ago. He would dig while sitting on the ground.  The trap is buried, and there is still a matter of survival, let alone everyone making noise and drinking together." After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Men from Guandong are fast-talking and full of blood. They can say whatever they want.  , there are very few dull people. The long winter and cold weather have created the unique life characteristics and way of speaking of the Guandong people.  The room was a little noisy at that time, but the originally depressing atmosphere became lively, and there was agility and happiness in the air, like flowers and trees waking up from the long cold winter, exuding the breath of life.

    It seems that my dad and my uncle, together with our family, have a very high status, prestige and reputation in the countryside. This will be a good foundation and strong condition for me in the future. It seems that building my own team will  There should be no problem. It just depends on the quality of the person I'm looking for and whether he can meet the requirements of my absolutely powerful special forces.

    "Sister-in-law, it's not ready yet. We are all hungry. The wine has been boiled. Let's serve up some dishes and drink first." The second uncle couldn't help shouting, "It will be ready soon. Let's serve some dishes first."  Here¡¯s the dish, you drink it first, brother, it¡¯s not that everyone is hungry, it¡¯s because your alcohol bug is crawling out of your throat again!¡± Mom and Uncle joked. Others laughed when they heard this.  Second uncle, hey, he doesn't look embarrassed. It seems that the relationship between mom and my uncles is quite harmonious.  "Then quickly put the table and move the stools, pick up the bowls and pick up the chopsticks," the second uncle shouted, while his hands were busy.

    As soon as the door curtain was opened, Sister Ling came in carrying a large bowl of stewed river fish in soy sauce. Immediately, a strong fragrance filled the whole room.

    I smelled the fragrance and swallowed involuntarily. I felt a little hungry. Oh my God, I could still eat it!  I'm going to be embarrassed again, I'm dizzy
