Reborn as a landlord!I can

Chapter 18 Arriving at the County

The cool autumn wind blew slowly through the leaves of the grass, leaving a rustling sound.The red sun on the horizon slowly approached the mountain peak, making the sky gradually darken.

A group of several oxen and carriages slowly walked against the disappearing red sun, going further and further away, becoming increasingly blurry in the dimming light.

Looking at the dark forest on both sides, the tall trees in the middle are swaying in the evening breeze, like a group of demons dancing.Terrifying and distant calls of birds and beasts came from the forest, making those who heard it uneasy, fearing that a group of ferocious beasts would emerge from the barren mountains and wild ridges. They whipped their whips several times in panic, causing the old cow to panic. Run a little faster.

"Uncle, are we almost at our destination? The sun has set and it's almost dark." Li Manping was sitting on the bullock cart at the front, chatting with Li Yilong.

Li Yilong raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the surrounding mountains, and answered her affirmatively, "Well, we are almost there. Walk through the forest entrance and walk forward in about ten minutes and you will enter the county town." Li Yilong looked forward, his eyes filled with joy. "I heard your Uncle Liu say before that his hometown is in front of this sunken mountain forest entrance. After passing this sunken path, you will reach the gate of Guangtian County, and you will reach the ground."

Li Manping found it incredible that there were people living in such a deep, secluded and inconvenient place for a long time.

"Brother-in-law, is Uncle Liu still serving in the Kuomintang army? What kind of official is he? Now the struggle between the two parties has become fierce again, and the fighting between our own people has become very chaotic! Aren't you worried about him?"

"Uncle Liu is very powerful. He was an indispensable soul figure in the team. Although he was born in a rural area, his combat learning ability is very strong, far beyond ordinary people." Li Yilong said with admiration and admiration, "At that time we I was lucky enough to join the same army. I started as a soldier, but within half a year he became my superior officer. It was rare at that time."

His expression gradually became unspeakable, "Three or four years have passed like this, and he has always been one level higher than me. Later, because I couldn't stand the fact that some of the commanders above me were flattering and giving in to the Rakshasa Kingdom, I turned a blind eye to the hardships of people's lives. , but severely suppressed some progressive young people and people with lofty ideals, so I had the desire to retreat. I no longer wanted to be an accomplice of the enemy to oppress my compatriots. I wanted to make other plans, such as getting closer to the Red Party, so I had a deep talk with him. Let’s talk.”

Li Yilong sighed deeply, "Actually, he couldn't stand the dirty things those people did at that time, but he said that if we all leave the army and only some selfish people are left, in case there is something special Things happened that required help from people like us with unbroken consciences, but we were not here, and there was no chance to help. So he stayed in the army, and when he found the opportunity, he could help more patriots and people with lofty ideals."

Li Manping was also silent. She believed that in every team there would be many heroes with unyielding conscience and national justice. However, such people would be even more unbearable among the turbid self-interested people forced by the world. They would be angry, suspicious, and dissatisfied. You will feel painful and self-blame, you may follow the trend and fall into the quagmire, and you may even change yourself and strive for a different future.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence, echoing the silence and heavy mountains and forests, revealing a kind of desolation.

"I don't know how he spent those years. It was very difficult and painful to think about it." Li Yilong wiped his face and said cheerfully: But when I returned home from the army, he took the initiative to find connections and got me to the nearest county seat, where he became a The deputy director in charge of paperwork was a big help to me at that time. I originally thought I was going to go home and take advantage of your grandfather's legacy. "Li Yilong laughed mischievously as he spoke. He was planning to become a playboy.

"After I entered the police station, things became more complicated. Even though I was a civilian cadre, the Rakshasa Kingdom was still showing off its power on our land at that time. Because the unreliable government in power and the common people were living a miserable life, they had to push all kinds of chores to us. , we were so busy that we hit the back of our heads with our feet, so we had less contact with your Uncle Liu. He was also too busy fighting wars, so we only talked on the phone once or twice a year. But after the Rakshasa Kingdom was defeated and retreated last year, he told After I passed him, he also returned to his hometown in the county and found a good job."

Li Manping held her chin in her hands, admiring her greatly, "Uncle Liu is really awesome, smart and powerful."

"Hey... you are an ignorant little girl. Your uncle and I are also very powerful. I think back then I was also the first member of our team. I was handsome and smart, with a good figure and ability, which attracted many female soldiers in the team. , clamoring to have sex with me."

Li Manping clapped her hands and smiled evilly, "I'm going to tell my aunt that you were virgins to other women when you were in the army..."

"My little ancestor, don't say this nonsense, you will get me into big trouble." Li Yilong was so angry that he couldn't help but hit her on the head several times.

In the increasingly relaxed atmosphere, Li Manping and Li Yilong joked and joked all the way, no longer as deep as before.

The carriage walked to the entrance of the sunken mountain range, and from a distance we could see the roofs of rows of houses on the opposite side, which were paved with tiles. It seemed that the conditions of this closed county were good.

"Ah, I saw it, I saw the city gate," Li Hong stood on the carriage behind and screamed excitedly, "Dad, dad, let me get down, I want to be the first to go in,"

Li Hong jumped off the slowing down carriage and ran over as if being blown by the wind before he could stand upright. He stumbled a few times before falling to the ground and eating a mouthful of dirt.

The rest of the people also smiled happily. Finally, they arrived at the place and no longer had to travel long distances!You can relax a little.

Li Yilong drove his car to the city gate and found that there was no checkpoint and people could enter and exit at will.He asked everyone to follow him slowly, "Let's go into the city first and find a place to live and repair. I'll call my friends tomorrow morning to ask about the situation here and decide our next plan."

Everyone in the house nodded. Anyway, we are at the place, so do whatever you want. Now everyone just wants to relax.

"Ah, my mother, I finally don't have to rush anymore," Li Yuan stretched out, squeezed his waist and hips and slowly climbed out of the carriage, "I didn't expect that riding in a car would be so hard. I decided not to travel far in the future. "

While moving his body and stretching his limbs, he walked towards his oxcart and called out, "Grandpa, grandma, we are here. You can come down and walk around. It will be much more comfortable."

The two elders of the Song family helped each other get out of the oxcart and walked slowly on the ground. They were two industrious old people who had suffered a lot in the past few days.

The situation is much better in the Tang family. Their family is of Manchu ancestry. They like to ride horses and run for exercise and are extremely healthy.

"Hey, Old Song, you can't do it. How come you've become wilted after just sitting in an ox cart for a long time? You have to be in good health if you want to teach and educate people." Mr. Tang approached the two elders of the Song family quickly, with a smile in his eyes. He said without mercy, "In the past, scholars were all literate people who were proficient in the six arts. Especially, it was normal for some scholars to be able to mount a horse and fight. You... tsk~"

"Hey, you barbarian...I'm going to ask my sister-in-law Guizhi to judge your nonsense." Mr. Song glared at him and ignored him.

The Tang and Song families were old friends and were familiar with each other. Later, they were married to the Li family, and their relationship became even closer.

Entering the county town talking and laughing, he went straight to the resting place, putting the rest aside for now and getting enough sleep first.
