Chen Yu took out a copy of "New Youth" from a pile of old books, and glanced at the release date, which was the 11th year of the Republic of China.The cover of the decades-old book has long been mottled, but the lining is well preserved, and only this remote place can see this thing.

"Oh?"

Chen Yu picked up the book and showed his displeasure: "Don't you know it's a banned book? You dare to sell it to me, harboring banned books, don't you know how big a crime it is?"

"Ah?" The boss immediately changed a bitter face: "The old man didn't know that this was a banned book. It was sold to me by a student who had no food to eat. It was only five cents. Now the little old man feels that it is a loss. I am a real soldier. I do not know!"

"Confiscated, don't make an exception!"

"Master take it away, take it away, take it away."

Chen Yu tricked him into a book, pointing to a pile of old English books, a copy of "Shanghai Police", and some scattered unknown novels of the Republic of China.

"One yuan, can this pile of books be sold?"

"Master Jun." The boss wanted to cry but had no tears: "Although this pile of books is worthless, one dollar is really not much."

"These books are also damp and moldy when you put them here, and they cost half a dollar, not the national currency."

"what?"

The boss thought about it for a while, and finally agreed to Chen Yu's request reluctantly, and tied up dozens of books.Taking out a dollar from his pocket, Chen Yu patted it on the wooden counter, picked up the book, turned and walked out the door.

These books are worth less than a dollar. In this era when there is not enough to eat, especially in the remote southern Yunnan border, few people will spend money to buy these books that cannot be understood or are not classics of Chinese studies at all.A piece and a half, the boss earned at least [-] cents with tears in his eyes.

Walking out of the old bookstall, Chen Yu bumped into a person he didn't want to see again.

The third aunt was standing by the side of the road, holding a vegetable basket in her hand.The clothes are not as luxurious as before, or should be said to be decent. She is now wearing navy blue clothes that are very common in southern Yunnan, and she can't help but look at Chen Yu with a smile.

"It's really strange. Those officials are paid to go to the tavern or find a woman. You just buy a bunch of old books that no one wants and are almost moldy."

Chen Yu smiled slightly: "I have nothing to do, I just want to read some books to pass the time."

"Looks like he's an upright gentleman," said the third aunt.

"It was."

"It's not official today?"

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "I don't have so many military affairs, so I come to pick up old books when I have time. Why are you being kicked out with your clothes?"

"That's right." The third aunt turned around easily: "The old woman kicked me out of the house and almost gave me to Shen Jiangli, saying that I spend money playing cards all day long, and that I have a dog that wags its tail when it sees anyone. Said that I didn't even give her a good face all day long, and the old man just died last month, so he kicked me out before the filial piety."

"It's good to be alone."

"It's not bad."

Chen Yu mentioned a bundle of books: "Let's go, goodbye."

"Oh, let's go." The third aunt stood on the side of the road, stepping back unconsciously.

Picking up a bundle of books, Chen Yu glanced sideways at the elementary school next to him.The school is very dilapidated, with only two old brick houses, one is locked and it should be the place where the teacher lives, and the sound of reading can be heard from the other room.

The students were learning arithmetic, and Chen Yu heard them reciting the formulas of the multiplication table. He stopped to watch for a while and Chen Yu left the primary school.There are schools and teachers in the young China, and his students are working hard to learn knowledge.

Suddenly, the third aunt's shout came from behind.She has been standing under the eaves by the side of the road, Chen Yu is watching the picture in the primary school, she sees Chen Yu watching the school, with envy in her eyes.

No one is born to be someone else's concubine, some are depraved by themselves, or are forced to be helpless.Others learn cultural knowledge, discuss ideals and the future, while she carefully pleases the old man who is a few rounds older than herself, and if she is careless, she will be beaten, scolded and punished.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

Chen Yu turned around with a bad expression: "You better have something to do."

The third aunt smiled bitterly and felt a little embarrassed: "Actually, I want to tell you that you used to be called 'Third Madam' and 'Third Madam', and you were called strange people. Now I am no longer that person. I have a name and a surname. My name is Yang Xiabing , Mr. Chen don't want to call me 'Third Madam' anymore."

"Understood, Miss Yang."

When Chen Yu turned around, her voice sounded behind him again.

"You... you, are you going to fight? I see that there are many more soldiers in the city these days, and there are still cannons fired into the sky on the road."

Chen Yu said: "Don't inquire, live your life with peace of mind, don't play cards in the future, keep the money to live, and it will be peaceful soon."

"I don't want to fight anymore. If I get kicked out, I won't have the money to fight. The money is used to buy a small yard."

She raised a smiling face and said innocently: "I will keep the rest of the money. When Mr. Chen recovers Longling and Tengchong, I will use the money as travel expenses to see my brother, and burn some paper money for him by the way."

"I'm sure I can go to Longling. Collect the money carefully so that no one can steal it." Chen Yu entrusted.

She said: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you're good at talking, so go get busy! I'm going to buy vegetables and cook too, so I won't bother you."

"Well, walk slowly."

"Walk slowly."

Bringing up the old book again, Chen Yu took two steps and looked back unwillingly, and found that this person had really moved forward.

After walking a few steps, I remembered that I once read a book by myself, which said: We men work hard during the day, and we can’t even feed our family. We have to sell our daughters and wives to fill our stomachs. .Living in such a rough and rough life, the government patrol ordered the arrest and expulsion, and the reason was that it disturbed the business of the big store.

After walking a few steps, I remembered another sentence: The era is the era of heroes, and life is the life of the people.

Chen Yu was carrying the book, thinking about it, but he didn't know how to understand this sentence, "The era is the era of heroes, and life is the life of the people."

Hold the fire in the dark night, and where the light of the fire is not enough, there will be great terror and a great abyss.It seems that there are Asura bewitching in the ear, there seems to be Yaksha wandering around, it seems that the river is rolling away, it seems that there is starvation in the eyes, it seems that there are ferocious Japanese soldiers charging in front of them.

Chen Yu turned a corner and bumped into a dark man carrying a huge sack.Books were left all over the floor. Seeing that Chen Yu was wearing an officer's school uniform, the man hurriedly put down the sack on his back, apologizing non-stop, and trembling all over.

The man knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master Jun, I'm sorry, the little one is blind, the little one is blind..."

"I hit you, why did you ask me?" Chen Yu asked.

"Spare the villain's life, spare the villain's life."

Chen Yu ignored the black man who was kneeling and begging for mercy. He didn't know whether to move forward or stand still, and asked him to continue apologizing.Seeing the sound of the black man begging for mercy, I just felt waves in my heart, like a black sea connected in series, darkness approaching my heart.The eyes are dim, the mood is up and down, and the heart is wandering.

A grand bell sounded in his mind, and Chen Yu looked lonely and walked along the wall, afraid of being stuck in the darkness in front of him kneeling and begging for mercy.

I am innocent like a Bodhi, so why should I enter my body?

Escaping from this dark place of right and wrong, Chen Yuhuai fell in love with the rotten and damp smell on the slope of the sacrificial flag.When ideals face reality, the inner "enlightenment itself should have Buddha nature" is loosening again.

Sitting in front of a house, Chen Yu unbuttoned the top button of his collar, sweating profusely and breathing the air.The owner of the house didn't know how to treat him. He neither dared to welcome him in, nor dared to drive him away, so he could only let him sit at the door of his house.

Chen Yu realized that he was about to become a 'Buddha'. He wanted to save the people's lives but was powerless, and he wanted to escape the heroic age but had no intentions, and he fell into a spiritual struggle between left and right.

Chapter 134 Cultural Input

Glancing at his watch, it was already 03:30 in the afternoon.

Chen Yu stood at the door of Milong's house, the door was opened a gap, and there were knocking sounds and father Meng's scolding coming from inside.The harsher Meng's father scolded, the harder Milong hit the hammer.

There was a smell of fireworks in the yard, Lei Bao frowned and walked out unhappy, and saw Chen Yu standing at the door of his house, sitting on the steps with his little head tilted.

Chen Yu sat beside him and stroked Lei Bao's little head: "Why are you angry, your father Long provoked you?"

"No." Reb said.

"why?"

Lei Bao sighed with innocent face: "The stinky guy came back to make me a small desk, but Grandpa Meng said that the stinky guy disturbed his reading. I said no small desk, but the stinky guy got angry. The two of them have been angry all the time. Mom will do it." Don't care about them, Grandma wants to persuade Grandpa Meng, but Grandpa Meng still scolds Grandma."

"Oh."

Chen Yu picked up Lei Bao, pricked his delicate face with his sparse beard, made Lei Bao laugh out loud, and nestled in Chen Yu's arms without moving.

Hearing Lei Bao's laughter outside, Shangguan ran out wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand.She thought that someone was patting Huazi to lure Lei Bao, but seeing Chen Yu sitting outside teasing Lei Bao, a smile appeared on his charming face.

"It turned out to be Brother Chen, the meal will be ready soon, let's have dinner together later."

Chen Yu put Lei Bao down: "Don't bother, sister-in-law. I'll just take a look and leave right away."

"What are you talking about, it's not like seeing outsiders."

The Shangguan stopped him and said: "You and Mi Long are brothers, and this is your home, so it's not a word of trouble. If it's trouble, it's Mi Long who troubles you in the army, and there is no day when we, mother and son, don't have to worry about food and clothing."

"I'm leaving right now."

"Don't leave. Although the meals in the army are full, they are not as delicious as the ones at home. I just asked Mi Long to call Battalion Commander Meng, and we all have a meal here. I will cook a few more dishes."

"do not."

Shangguan didn't wait for Chen Yu, and asked Lei Bao to hug Chen Yu's thigh to prevent him from leaving, while he went into the yard and kicked Milong himself to make him calm down.The kicked Milong did not dare to complain at all. In the past, if someone kicked Milong like this, it would be a mess.

Milong was content with such petty troubles. This man lost the shrewdness of the philistine in the shelter, and put down the hammer with a smirk to put away the half-made small desk.

"The big girl is beautiful, the big girl is sloppy, the big girl walks into the green gauze tent..."

Twisting his big butt, Milong is now like a male bird courting, twisting the Yangko that he thinks is beautiful, striding around in circles in the yard.After turning around a few times, Meng's father in the inner courtyard couldn't bear it anymore, rushed out with a book, and vowed to knock on Milong to the death.

Meng's mother followed closely behind, desperately holding Meng's father's arm.

Meng's father shouted and scolded: "The country is ruined and the family is destroyed. You are a soldier who doesn't know how to defend the country, but here you sing obscene words and pornographic songs, and throw them into the face of the country's soldiers! No wonder our soldiers collapse at the touch of a finger. Most of them are snakes like you. Rats and ants."

Milong glanced at Father Meng, and continued to twist Yangko: "My man! Man~~~"

"Go!"

"Twist another paragraph, this paragraph sounds good."

Shangguan: "Milong!"

After the order from the Shangguan in the kitchen, Mi Long quickly ran out of the yard, and saw Chen Yu sitting on the doorstep with Lei Bao in his arms, and Lei Bao was playing with Chen Yu's pistol.For safety's sake, Chen Yu didn't dare to install the magazine.

Which boy can refuse a small shiny pistol in childhood, and Ray Po is no exception.

Milong walked by: "Be careful not to walk and hurt my son."

"You think I'm like you, not loaded at all."

Chen Yu smiled strangely: "Your bed is broken again, did you knock inside?"

"Why do you speak so harshly?" Mi Long rubbed Lei Bao in Chen Yu's arms: "Son, let's go buy candy with Dad, buy a bunch of candy."

Lei Bao was playing with the Colt m1911 pistol: "Don't go, don't go, eating sugar will cause tooth decay."

"Good son."

"Smelly bastard!"

After saying a few very light words, Mi Long was still wondering why Lei Bao would nestle quietly in Chen Yu's arms, while he beat and kicked after a little hug.This guy used the dirty jokes from the countryside in the Northeast to convey to the Shangguan who loved Zhishu Dali, and he only knew how to give his wife and son the best he could.

Fortunately, Shangguan understood Milong's kindness to him, otherwise Milong's ghostly appearance could scare a big girl to tears, let alone express his feelings with obscene words and songs from the countryside.

Milong left, and Father Meng's shouting and cursing inside also stopped.

Then came another voice from Father Meng: "Is the meal ready? Three meals a day, all seasons are safe."

"Hurry up, uncle, don't worry." Shangguan replied apologetically.

Holding Lei Bao in his arms, Chen Yu kicked open the door and walked in.Father Meng, who was sitting at the big wooden table in the courtyard, was startled. Seeing Chen Yu with a serious face and Lei Bao still holding a pistol in his arms, he turned his head angrily away.

Chen Yu's wish was fulfilled, Meng's father finally calmed down, and picked up a copy of "Song History" to read.

When he read "History of the Song Dynasty", Chen Yu had a general understanding of the family background of Fanla's family. "Song History" is the longest history book among the 24 histories. It is not easy to have such a book in this world.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, someone came in from outside the door, it was Bu Lai, Snake Butt, Yao Ma, and Bean Cake.When he saw Chen Yu sitting in the courtyard, Bula stretched out his index finger and ticked it off.

"Come out!"

Chen Yu was confused holding Lei Bao, so he had no choice but to go out.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yu went out and saw a person.

Bu La secretly poked in Chen Yu's ear and said: "This girl is very good-looking. I asked the people from the Sichuan Army in the city and said that you dropped something. Could it be that you caused romantic debts outside, and now they are chasing you at home Come on, let's deal with Hazi!"

"Merry you uncle, be careful that the few of you are infected with Merry disease."

"No way."

Bura poked Chen Yu with his elbow: "All the people assisted me with a few small pockets to hold that thing, and said that I would never get sick. All the brothers in the Allied Army are using it, ask us to try it too."

It is said that Chen Yu is full of black lines, is this considered cultural import?

Two hours ago, in a trance, Chen Yu bumped into a black man carrying a huge sack. The books in his hands were scattered all over the place, and they were also forgotten on the road. Now someone came to him to return the dropped books.

Yang Xiabing, the third concubine who was kicked out of the house.Holding a vegetable basket in one hand and a pile of old books in the other, she was standing on the side of the road, more than 20 meters away from Milong's house.Standing on tiptoe to look, he smiled when he saw Chen Yu, picked up the old book and shook it.

Holding Lei Bao and walking over, she lowered her head in embarrassment until Chen Yu walked in front of her.

"This seems to be your book. I saw it on the way home from shopping for vegetables. Someone took several of them and cooked them at home. The rest are here." She lowered her head and said.

"Thank you." It seemed that Chen Yu couldn't say anything other than thank you.

Yang Xiabing raised her head and asked, "This is you..."

"It's not my son." Chen Yu explained: "My brother's son, take care of him."
