Chapter 3 Burning Cao's House

At this moment, not only those who came to take advantage, but even I was stunned. At this moment, those who took advantage were dispersed. Finally, when I was at a loss, my cousin Chen Liancheng (by seniority, I should call him Uncle San, and I have been blessed with Erlang Yelun) came to the door. After talking to me for a long time, he gave him a way out: "Without Master, it is not a solution to manage a temple (guard) by your own child. In this way, you rent the temple (guard) property to your uncle. You can add some more to the county and go to school. Uncle doesn't expect you to have much knowledge. When you finish your studies, you will help your uncle manage this business."

Chen Liancheng was a juren from the Qing Dynasty and was the richest man in a radius of hundreds of miles for several lifetimes. Although his family property was not as good as Li Daolin from Tianjin, he also looked down on this little bit of property. So I thanked Mr. Shen and agreed to Mr. Shen. After a few days of preparation, I went to the county to study in elementary school.

Speaking of which, I also gave Chen Liancheng a long face. After adapting to the school for half a year, I actually kept up with the rhythm of the school. A few years passed in a flash. Chen Liancheng saw that I was still a study material, so he spent money to go to Peking to study in high school.

It was also true that Chen Liancheng's high hopes were fulfilled. After graduating from high school, I was admitted to Fu Ren University, a Pekingese. In the first year of school, I caused a big disaster...

At that time, it was the end of the World War, and the Paris Peace Conference, which picked the fruits of victory, sent back news that Germany's privileges in Shandong were given to Japan. After hearing this, the people of Peking all exploded. Didn't they say that everyone was victorious? Shameless! How did the victorious country start to bully the victorious country...

The Chinese are all passionate. After knowing that the country was going to sign such an agreement that was to lose power and humiliate the country, everyone spontaneously organized and marched on the streets. At that time, the crowd was infuriated and I was assigned to burn the mansion of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Cao Rulin.

When I was assigned a task, I didn't know why I actually heard the slash. I heard the Zhaojialou where Cao Rulin lives as Caojialou. I was in high spirits and didn't think much about it. The last fire ignited the manager of Cao's house across the street. When I saw the fire burning, I was still thinking in my heart, what is the manager of a department store selling for?

Although thousands of people were arrested at that time, due to pressure from all sides, they were finally released. However, the Beiyang government could not let me out and I was wanted.

I couldn't stay in Peking anymore, so I could only ask my classmates how many dollars I borrowed and fled out of Peking by train overnight. I thought about going back to my hometown to avoid the limelight, but I couldn't study in college anymore. After this calm gust of wind, I could see if I could change my name and find a living.

I took a train for a day and night. I originally planned to stay near the station for a night, but I was going home the next day. However, after seeing my wanted order at the station, I changed my mind. I spent 50 cents to hire a wheelbarrow overnight. It took me half a night before finally arrived near my hometown Shenjiabao after dawn.

Seeing that there were more than ten miles to go home, I suddenly saw two large yellow trucks made in Japan driven from the direction of Shenjiabao. This thing is a rare thing in the local area. Some people have never seen a large truck in their lifetime.

Just as I was about to ask the owner of the car to stop and hide, the two trucks suddenly stopped and jumped out of the first truck. At the same time, he jumped out of his pistol from his gun holster, pointed at me and shouted: "Little bastard... don't move! If you dare to move, I will send you back to your hometown!"

It's over, just a few days ago, the Beiyang government has sent people to the Northeast to get me? Didn't it say that the three northeastern provinces are Zhang Zuolin's territory? Why did Zhang Dashuai also start wearing a pair of pants with Xu Shichang? But if you can't tell me, I won't move? If you don't move, you're a turtle...

At the end of the May 4th Parade, I was wanted alone. Can you still have good results when you caught me? I hurriedly jumped off the wheelbarrow and didn't care about the luggage. I turned around and ran towards the sorghum field behind me. Relying on the familiarity of the road, as long as I could get into the cornfield, I could escape.

But I still thought it was simple. Before I could run out a few steps, a gunshot suddenly sounded behind me. At the same time, a gust of wind broke out in my ears, and the bullet flew over to my ears. I really dare to shoot...

At this moment, I didn't dare to move around, and leaned on the ground with my head in my arms and shouted loudly: "Don't shoot... I'm just a passerby, not Shen Lian you want to catch! The boss will give you a way out... My uncle is Shen Liancheng from Shenjiabao. Go and ask him, I am his nephew, not a bad person..."

I finally escaped from Peking, but don’t die at my doorstep. Originally, I also learned some fist and foot skills from Old Dao Lu, and I was still rich in dealing with three or two people, but the other party was a soldier holding a gun. No matter how good the kung fu was, he was not the opponent of bullets.

Just as I was yelling, a few soldiers jumped out of the truck. They ran over and punched me, and after a while, they lifted me up from the ground. Then they pushed me and hurried to the truck.

At this time, another big-skinned officer got out of the truck. After looking at my dressing, he said, "Mom, this is a foreign student. Who said he was a snoop? I'm scared to death by rushing me, who would have dragged it into the sorghum field..."

At first I heard what he said, I thought I would have escaped. Unexpectedly, after saying this, half of my body was stuck in the gate of hell. Seeing two soldiers coming over dragging me into the sorghum field, I was so scared that I shouted loudly: "Boss...Boss! Listen to me, I am a local from Shenjiabao. My uncle Shen Liancheng is a rich man, and you asked him to spend money to redeem me..."

Before I could finish my words, I jumped out of the carport of the second truck. The man trotted over, saw my appearance clearly, and pulled the officer's arm and said, "Captain Lang, don't make things difficult for the child. This is my nephew Shen Lian. It's not the beard that goes down the mountain."

Isn’t this voice the third uncle Shen Liancheng? When I turned around, he had already walked up to me. He used his body to block the soldiers pulling me, and then continued to say to the officer with a smile: “This child is more familiar than me, so you can save his life…Shen Lian! Don’t you get up and lead the way for the soldiers…”

After hearing Chen Liancheng's words, the officer narrowed his eyes and looked at me, saying, "Have you been to Toad Mouth? Are you familiar with it?"

At this time, let alone the toad mouth, even if it is time to leave, I have to go. At that moment, I hurriedly said, "Toad mouth, I am the most familiar to the entire Shenjiabao. I didn't brag to you, the commander, when I was seven years old, I slept in the toad mouth..."

"Don't blow, if you can't find the toad's mouth, you'll shoot you like a few." After saying to me, the officer continued to say to the soldiers beside him: "With this little bastard, if he plays tricks on the way, he will shoot you directly."

After hearing the officer's words, I was finally pulled up. Then I followed Chen Liancheng into a truck behind me in a daze. Looking back on the road, I realized that the owner of the car had escaped into the sorghum field just now. My life and death actually created a chance for him to escape...

After following Chen Liancheng into the car, he found that there was an acquaintance here. Zhao Lao Nianba, who was hunting and digging herbs to make a living in Shenjiabao, was also in the car. He was about 20 years older than me, because his family was too poor and he was not from the Shen family. After 40 years of age, he had not found a wife. He was also considered an old bachelor from far and wide.

After seeing me get in the car, Old Zhao looked at me with a head-on look and said slowly: "Here you come..."

"I don't know whether I can survive or not, so don't be polite." Chen Liancheng looked at Zhao Lao Nianba with annoyance, then sighed and said to me: "Big nephew, why don't you study in Peking? What should I do when I run back? Now, I will not talk about it, but I will also implicate you... If something happens to you, what will your father - your second uncle do?"

"Don't he have a second child? When he is old, he has his second child to serve his family. There is no need for me, my nephew, to worry about their uncle. We should not bother with their family affairs." Worrying that Chen Liancheng continued to ask about the matter in Peking, I hurriedly changed the topic: "Don't talk about my second uncle's family, what's going on with these soldiers? According to the official's meaning, why do you still have to use the toad mouth? Uncle, it's not that I talk too much. You are the head of Shenjiabao. What's going on with the toad mouth? You older generations know the best. Starting from the day when Shenjiabao, the rules set are not something that people can go to."

I just wanted to survive, let alone the toad mouth, even the Jade Emperor Lingxiao Palace was going to go. Now I calmed down and understood in my heart that the official just now was going to the toad mouth...
