13. Mr. Teacher who fled
In those days, the small dock in the South Mountain was chaotic, and the Japanese people stationed in the large areas of the brigade ran to the docks, and the Japanese specially sent several large steamships out to look for them, but unfortunately they searched for nearly half a month, and nothing was found.
The sea slipper of the old Tieshan waterway is too fierce, and all those who fish and go to sea in this area are careful when they arrive at this waterway, and if they are not careful, they will overturn the boat and die.
The Japanese conducted several investigations and interrogated the people in Nanshan from old age to small. In order to confirm the people's claims, the Japanese also specially called Song Laosan and Xie Dogzi to verify. Song Laosan and Xie Dog said: "Yes, the sea slip in this place is too fierce and too urgent, these old fishermen are careful, I analyze, it is that night this group of Japanese masters encountered a very strong current, so the boat sank." ”
The Japanese turned the seashore and the old tieshan waterway in the South Mountain upside down, and did not find out that they were ugly, and they all went back after a dozen days of making a fuss. However, since then, the small docks in the South Mountains, the Japanese have been more strictly supervised, whether it is to send water to the ship to send vegetables to send oil and grain, the Japanese always have to check the bottom, including adding water to the Japanese, the Japanese must be sampled.
After this situation was maintained for a while, the small pier in the entire South Mountain returned to the calm of the past.
The Japanese steamship sank, and the happiest was the Da Mengzi family, and half a month later, late one night, the big Mengzi family lit up. The room was full of heads, and they gathered around the boy and asked about the east and west.
Tong put his head and said, "Don't worry about the big guys, listen to me slowly tell the big guys." In fact, it is not difficult to kill these devils, it is not difficult to say, it is not difficult to say that it is difficult, why do you say so? When I was a child, I followed my father to fight rabbits on the mountain of my hometown in Shandong, some rabbits are actually very cunning, some rabbits are not easy to fight, my father mixed mongolian medicine in the corn kernels, and after the rabbits ate for half an hour, then follow the rabbit's path to find the rabbit, saving both gunpowder and effort. This time to kill these devils, I used this method, let us Shandong old ladies make moon cakes in the water mixed with the Mongolian medicine I bought from Dalian, because the Mongolian medicine thing can only occur after half an hour, when the devil's steamship just sailed to the most dangerous place in the old Tieshan Waterway, that is, next to the ghost tooth reef. Brothers, if you think about it, we fish from there every day during the day, and the devil drives such a big steamship, and when he walks from that place at night, he eats the mooncake of the medicine, what will happen to you? ”
At this time, Xiao Zhang turned his head and said, "Then what do you want with me to do with those dozens of pounds of explosives?" ”
Tong smiled and continued, "The devil's steamship is so big." People eat the drug but just drive the ship out of the channel, so big steamship hit the reef of the ghost tooth, the ship does not crash through, for a moment and a half will not sink, I will be in the ship leaving the dock, from the water to the bottom of the Japanese steamship, the gunpowder with wire tied to the Japanese rudder, as long as the ship deviates from the channel, hit the ghost tooth reef rudder will choke to death, as long as the rudder is dead, it will hit the explosives, it is equivalent to helping the Japanese quickly sink into the seabed of one of the biggest help, the process is such a process, Anyway, whatever? Old and young masters, the third brother's vendetta, we are repaying. ”
The big cute father listened to this, and led the whole family to kneel down on Tong's head and prostrate his head three times, thanking Tong for avenging his third brother and thanking Tong for his great kindness.
Tong put his head and hurriedly picked up their whole family with both hands and said, "Do you kiss the hometown people?" We are all from our hometown in Shandong across the ocean, thousands of miles away, we are the dearest brothers, there is nothing to thank or thank. The three great masters of the big cute son, who are also the three brothers we respect, let the Japanese kill them in such an inexplicable way, this hatred is not to say that it is you, that is, the Shandong people here, which one thinks about it and does not hate it to the bone, in the future, the Shandong people in our Nanshan Mountains must unite and find a way to deal with the Japanese devils and Song Laosan, so that we can live. ”
When the heads present heard this, they all stretched out their thumbs, and Chong Tong turned his head and said, "You are right!" In the future, we Shandong people can no longer be bullied, and we will definitely hold on tightly and deal with the little Japanese devils and Song Laosan, the king of the bastards. ”
Tong put his head and said, "I want to say something to all the fellow villagers here." In a few days, I have a fellow countryman surnamed Kong, who fled from Shandong and came to Nanshan, and I would like to ask everyone here to pay more attention to this Mr. Kong. He was a teacher in our hometown and came to Nanshan alone. I think so, he is a reader, other jobs are not very capable, let's see if you can let Mr. Kong teach us the babies of the Shandong people in Nanshan, let the children read a few words, and wait for our children to read and hyphenate, and not let Song Laosan, the bastard, scribble on the ledger and IOUs, cheat our money, cheat our rent. Mr. Kong is weak, I think if he comes, I want to ask the big guys to give him a little teaching fee, so that he can live, and then let him go to the dock to do some small odd jobs and fill his stomach, which please all the old and young masters. ”
The people in the whole house all said in unison: "What is this, looking at the Shandong hometown and not helping, that is, there is no morality, you can rest assured that Tong will take his head, if Mr. Kong comes, they will definitely take good care of him." ”
A few days later, Tong and Da MengZi went to Lushun Railway Station and took Mr. Kong back to Nanshanli.
Mr. Kong was a tall man of eight meters, and his thin body was wearing a long, patched shirt, like a flag hanging on the flagpole, empty. His handsome face, with a pair of glasses, his whole body full of Sven, carrying a torn leather suitcase in his hand, jumped out of the carriage.
A few heads standing at the door of Mengzi's house hurriedly took a few steps to meet them, and they all held their fists.
Da Mengzi took the broken suitcase in Mr. Kong's hand and carried it to the courtyard.
The big cute lady was busy and warmly greeted: "Oh, Mr. Kong has long been looking forward to you coming, come into the house quickly, they don't know what to do, they simply prepared some small dishes, listened to the child's head and the big cute father said, even if it is for you to receive the wind." ”
Mr. Kong hurriedly hugged his fist and gave a gift to the big cute lady, saying, "Sister-in-law, I have caused you trouble." ”
The big cute lady said, "Where do you see what you say?" We are all Shandong fellows, all are their own families, there is nothing polite, hurry up and sit down! ”
Tong put his head and the big cute father busy greeting the other heads and sat down one by one.
During the banquet, the leaders raised their wine glasses high and toasted mr. Kong.
Mr. Kong hurriedly raised his wine glass and said to the big guy, "How dare you, how dare you." I Kong Mou He De How can I have the villagers to pick up the wind and wash the dust, the first time to come to the precious land, in the future the little brother will have more difficulties, please also ask you fellow villagers to take more care of, there are deficiencies, please forgive me more. ”
Tong put his head and the heads of the people and said: "We are fellow countrymen, we are not close to the hometown people, in the future, Mr. Kong will directly say that we are all Shandong people, Shandong people are real, don't hide anything, if there is difficulty, you can say, we will definitely help you." ”
Mr. Kong hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, folks! ”
The character of Shandong people, that is, drinking wine in large bowls, eating meat in large pieces, being bold and kind, will always be the essence of the existence in the bones and blood of Shandong people. Although Mr. Kong is a reader, he also has the nature of a Shandong person. The head and the big cute father here sat with Mr. Kong today and drank very happily.
At the banquet, Mr. Kong also interjected and jokingly talked about new things outside the mountain.
For these Shandong people in the mountains and often fishing at sea, the new things mr. Kong said were exactly what they wanted to hear, never heard, and everyone listened to it with relish, and the wine was also very comfortable!
Mr. Kong said that the atrocities committed by the Japanese in Shandong killed many Shandong people and Shandong anti-Japanese soldiers, and killed hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing.
14. What the hell is the treasure
The big cute father said, "The Japanese are too bad, but what can we little people do with them?" In particular, there are wang bastards like Song Laosan and Song Mei who come to be traitors, when their dog legs come to bully and squeeze us. ”
Mr. Kong said: "I listened to the old boy say that some time ago, the three great masters of the big cute son were killed by the Japanese, and in the aspect of fighting with the enemy, we must learn from the child, we must use our brains, and we must retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, although we have traveled thousands of miles from Shandong to break into the Kanto, but the land we stepped on under our feet and the fish and shrimp in this sea are all left to us by our ancestors, and we have the final say on this land boundary, and that is what we Chinese." ”
After listening to Mr. Kong's speech, the Shandong people at the wine table immediately boiled with blood, and the arrogance and murderous spirit of the Shandong people flowed out from their bones. The wine was very enjoyable.
After the banquet was dispersed, Mr. Kong lived in Da Mengzi's house, because after the death of the three great masters of Da Mengzi, the house he had vacated was just for Mr. Kong to live. Mr. Kong hurriedly gave a salute to the big cute father and said, "You have caused trouble for your whole family." ”
The big cute father said busily: "Oh, Mr. Kong, we are all our own families, do we kiss the people of our hometown, everyone has a time to fall into trouble?" Besides, the house is empty and empty, you came, living in just added popularity to our home, we thank you for not being too late! ”
The next day, Tong led Mr. Kong to visit Song Laosan's home.
Song Laosan looked up and down at Mr. Kong and asked Mr. Kong in a questioning tone, where did he come from? Why come to Nanshanli? What are you doing in Nanshan?
Mr. Kong smiled slightly and said, "I am a teacher in my hometown, because the Japanese entered Shandong, everyone fled, I fled to Lushun, and Tong Tongtou was my hometown." I also had no place to go, and I wanted to eat with mixed food, so I went to the boy to take the head, and when I first arrived, I caused trouble for Boss Song. When I came to Guibao land, I wanted to beg for food to eat, and I also bothered to ask Boss Song to give a small errand and give him food. ”
Mr. Kong's words dispelled Song Laosan's concerns.
Song Laosan laughed and said, "Well, you, go to the dock and follow Tong Tong's head to do some delicate work, even your body bones can't withstand the toss." My family's boat goes to sea every three or five times, you help write a blessing word or something, you do it for you, and then find a housekeeper to get some small money. Tong Tongtou, there is a labor you take Mr. Kong to the dock to work! ”
Tong took the first look at Mr. Kong and saw that he had already received the approval of Song Laosan, hurried to make a fuss, and then took Mr. Kong to bid farewell to Song Laosan's family and went straight to the dock.
When they arrived at the dock, Tong introduced Mr. Kong to all the heads, boatmen, Shandong compatriots and sailors on the dock, and told everyone: "Mr. Kong has just arrived, please pay more attention to the fellow villagers." ”
The Shandong people on the dock looked at the new Shandong compatriots, and they were very excited, and they took the initiative to come to Mr. Kong as a greeting gift.
Mr. Kong returned the salute one by one, and also paid homage to Second Master Guan according to the rules on the dock.
Mr. Kong's days in Nanshan li began so plainly.
Before Mr. Kong officially boarded the ship, he followed a few heads to the Dragon King Temple to perform a great worship ceremony.
After getting on the boat, going out to sea to fish, the fishermen and the head of the boat took great care of Mr. Kong and let Mr. Kong be responsible for picking up fish.
The head of the boat told Mr. Kong that the work at sea began with the recognition of fish. What yellow fish, black fish, large knife fish, knife fish, flower silver carp, large squid, small squid, sea oysters, sea cucumber flower crab, large crab, sea crab abalone which can be sold, how much money must be clearly divided, because this is the basic way of fishermen's life.
Mr. Kong is a very humble and studious person, and no matter which head on the boat and the fishermen have given him, he will seriously complete it.
In a few months, Mr. Kong became a master of recognizing fish and picking fish. There were a bunch of fish there, mr. Kong looked at it, about how much money he could sell, he could say a rough idea. The ability to train in such a short period of time has made the heads of the boats and fishermen provoke the big thumb brother, saying that there is a little ink in the stomach, which is indeed different.
Sometimes, Mr. Kong will also talk about the origin of this fish, a fish can make him talk about the Tao, the ins and outs, the growth process, the age of growth, why this name, he can tell a Tao.
The head of the boat and the fishermen have been fishing for so many years, and they don't know that there are so many mysteries here, so they all listen to Mr. Kong talk about the knowledge of these fish with satisfaction.
Sometimes, Mr. Kong is happy, and he can sing a few words of Shandong Lu opera to everyone, which makes the leaders and the Shandong compatriots on the fishing boats very addicted.
Sometimes, when the boats rest together, Mr. Kong will tell the big guys how big the Sea of China is, and what kind of fishing goods are produced everywhere. These, however, have given these fishing heads and fishermen who have been fishing at sea for decades gain insight.
Sometimes, Mr. Kong would also gag about why the Japanese wanted to invade and occupy the northeast. Why encroach on the fisheries of the Yellow Bohai Sea? Tell the fathers and fellow villagers on the ship that this sea, including the three northeastern provinces and even the whole of China, is the place left by the ancestors to us, why let the Japanese devils run amok in this place? Seize our good things, kill people and oversell them. When Mr. Kong said this, all the heads and fishermen hated the Japanese even more.
"But what about hate?" It is not a day to let the Japanese bully us every day, let a traitor like Song Laosan Xie Dogzi squeeze us, and we can only mix a mouthful of food all year round, Mr. Kong, what do you say we should do on such a day? The fishermen and the leaders asked Mr. Kong doubtfully.
Mr. Kong always smiled and said: "We can't be slaughtered like the lambs in our hometown in Shandong, and we can't be like the big fat pigs in our hometown, who are fattened and slaughtered as soon as the New Year comes." Since ancient Kanto is a place laid down by Chinese ancestors, it was left to us by our ancestors, this is a matter of natural righteousness, little Japan robbed us of our things, our territory, our sea. We should unite and fight with them, snatch our things back, and get them out of our house. ”
The Shandong compatriots on the boat said in unison: "Mr. Kong, you are right, I see that from now on, you are the leader of our Shandong people, and the big guys recognize you!" ”
Mr. Kong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "If you can't afford it, you should make a fuss about the big guys, this matter must let Song Laosan know that he will be killed." ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they didn't squeak, and they were all busy with the work in their hands in an instant.
When Mr. Kong returned from fishing, when he was idle, he would teach Da Mengzi to read the Three Character Classic, the hundred family names, write brush characters, and tell history to Da Mengzi. Later, Shi Shi and the children of the Shandong people in the village came to Da Mengzi's house to listen to Mr. Kong's lecture. All this was to be done secretly underneath, because Song Laosan, according to the instructions of the Japanese, did not allow the children in Nanshan to learn Chinese characters, Chinese history, and Chinese culture. They ask chinese children to learn Japanese words and learn Japanese characters.
Mr. Kong secretly told the children that this was a kind of enslavement of Chinese culture by the Japanese, and that the Japanese wanted to control the Chinese for generations, so they did not let the Chinese children learn Chinese, learn Chinese history, and learn Chinese culture.
Mr. Kong told the children about the four famous works of China, the story of Yue Fei's loyalty to the country, the way of Confucius and Mencius in Shandong, and the profundity of Chinese history. Of course, Mr. Kong said that these were secretly told to the children at Da Mengzi's house.
In more than a year, the children have learned to recognize and write, and they have also learned the history of China's ancestors, the words filial piety, honesty, and loyalty, why the Japanese people bully us, and they also understand that in the future, they must resolutely not be pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, but must be a Chinese with dignity and integrity.
One day, Da Mengzi and Shi Shi told Mr. Kong: "Mr. Kong, there are several large graves in the ravine opposite us, song Laosan's girls often take Japanese people there, and Brother Shi and I watched them often remove some broken clay pots from the graves, and sometimes there are bone slags in broken stones, and I don't know what they are used for?" Listening to the uncles and uncles in the South Mountain, they are all the treasures left by the old ancestors. ”
Mr. Kong said, "Take me to see it another day."
Shi Shi said, "Song Laosan stipulated that no one in the South Mountains should be allowed to go to the big tomb, and that whoever went would cut off the head of anyone." ”
Mr. Kong smiled and said, "Then let's steal it." ”
Stone and Da Mengzi said, "Okay, then tomorrow morning when there is no one, we will both take you to the big grave to have a look." ”
Mr. Kong said, "Well, let's go see what treasures there are." ”
