Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Lu Zhaopeng then went to Xiang Nan's father-in-law's house.

Only then did the Zhang family learn that their daughter followed Lu Zhaopeng to the south to participate in the revolution, and later died in the Northern Expedition.

After learning about this incident, Zhang's family burst into tears.

Although they hated their daughter for running away from marriage and embarrassing their family.

But after so many years and so much later, they can understand what their daughter did.

Knowing what she did was very meaningful and great.

Therefore, when I heard the news of her death now, I was naturally very sad.

Only then did Xiang Nan realize that he and Lu Zhaopeng had almost become brothers-in-law.

…

Lu Zhaopeng's return can be regarded as saving Lu Zilin's life.

Originally, he should have been arrested as a former native.

After all, he followed Tian Fuxian and did a lot of bad things back then, and many villagers reported him.

But he is Lu Zhaopeng's father after all, and he is now crazy and stupid. Moreover, since 4 or 5 years ago, he no longer served as a villager, so he was treated with a wide margin.

However, according to Xiang Nan, Lu Zilin will not live for a few more years in his current condition.

…

After the liberation of Bailuyuan, Xiang Nan left Bailuyuan together with Lu San, Zhang Fenglan, Zhang Ziqing, Tian Xiaoe, etc. Take the train to the liberated Hujiang, and then go to Xiangjiang via Wuyang.

Xiang Nan's reason was that he had committed a major sin by pretending to be a god, pretending to be a god, and cheating. Someone had already sued him in the city, so he had to leave.

Lu San was naturally reluctant to leave. He wanted to die in Bailuyuan, on his own bed.

But he was afraid that something would happen to his son, so he had to follow his son on the road.

"Da, don't worry, in a few years, if everything goes well, we will come back." Xiang Nan advised, "And I promise you, even if you die in the future, I will bury your ashes back." .”

Lu San nodded after hearing this.

…

After arriving in Xiangjiang, Xiang Nan bought a building and directly built an apartment.

At first, he pretended to be a ghost and indeed defrauded some money, but later he gave up food and medicine. Moreover, after March 1st, he closed the temple door to thank visitors and no longer accepted money for fragrant oil or food offerings, so the money had already been almost spent.

However, during the Anti-Japanese War, he took advantage of the chaos to steal a lot of property.

Therefore, he has no shortage of money.

After arriving in Xiangjiang, Lu San, Zhang Fenglan, Zhang Ziqing, etc. were all very uncomfortable at first. They felt that Xiang Nan's decision to immigrate was a complete mistake, and they even discussed with him whether they could move back.

But in the following years, they realized how wise Xiang Nan was and completely gave up the idea of ​​going back.

…

In the 60th year, Lu San died at the age of eighty-five, which was considered a long life.

Xiang Nan complied with his will and specifically applied to return to the country and bury Lu San's ashes back in Bailuyuan.

At that time, although it was inconvenient to travel, you could still apply.

Xiang Nan and others first took a train from Tsim Sha Tsui to Luo Wu, and were allowed to enter the country after being inspected at the Luo Wu Entry Station.

When entering the country, you will receive a letter of introduction to your hometown and report to the police station before you can receive food stamps. Then you can buy a train ticket to go to Xi'an.

Xiang Nan went back with Zhang Ziqing, Tian Xiaoe and others. After three days and three nights, we took the train from Wuyang to Xi'an. After arriving in Xi'an City, we went to the local police station to report.

Knowing that Xiang Nan and others were overseas Chinese from Xiangjiang, the local police officers were very enthusiastic and specially contacted a bus to take them back to Bailuyuan.

Returning to Bailuyuan again, everything seemed different from before, but it didn't seem to be much different.

After the car stopped, Xiang Nan and others got out of the car, and were immediately surrounded by a group of children.

The idle men who were smoking at the entrance of the village saw that Xiang Nan and others were dressed differently from the villagers. They couldn't help but look at them curiously, and then gathered around them in surprise.

"Are you Brother Heiwa?" an old man asked.

Xiang Nan was stunned, looked at him carefully, and then asked in surprise, "Are you Xiaowu?!"

Bai Xiaowu's hair was gray and his wrinkles were piled up. He really looked like a little old man.

"Yes, it's me." Bai Xiaowu said in surprise, "Brother Heiwa, why are you still the same as before? Why don't you look older?"

"Is it true that the little fairy is back?"

"Oh, we haven't seen him for so many years, why doesn't he look older?"

"Isn't this a little fairy? He is older than us, but he looks much younger than us."

Everyone was also surprised.

…

Later, Bai Xiaowu asked Xiang Nan to sit at home.

After a while, other villagers received the news and all gathered around Bai's house.

"Xiaowu, has the village changed much over the years? How are you doing?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

"Hey, it's still like that. It's just farming. With your face facing the loess and your back to the sky, you can't compare to Brother Heiwa." Bai Xiaowu waved his hand and said, "By the way, Brother Heiwa, where have you been these years? After liberation Did you suddenly disappear?"

"Oh, we went abroad, to Xiangjiang." Xiang Nan explained.

"Where is Xiangjiang?" Bai Xiaowu was confused.

Xiang Nan smiled and gave a rough explanation.

Bai Xiaowu suddenly realized, and asked about the salary and food in Xiangjiang, and then said with envy, "Brother Heiwa, you are still capable."

"It's all good, it's all good." Xiang Nan smiled.

After some small talk, he learned that most of the older generation of villagers were dead.

Tian Fuxian and Yue Weishan were shot in 1950. After their death, Lu Zilin was frightened and went crazy. He shouted that ghosts were chasing him every day, and he died before the end of the year.

Wu Xiancao left in 1952, Bai Jiaxuan left in 1955, and Bai Xing'er, Sang Laoba, Erdou'er, etc. also left in 1953 or 1954.

Mr. Lu He followed his son Lu Zhaopeng. After enjoying a period of happiness in the city, he left in 57 years.

Lu Zhaopeng is now an official in the province and often comes here for walks. The village still benefits from him a lot.

…

Xiang Nan chatted with the villagers until very late, and that night, he rested at Xiaowu's house.

Their previous home had been given to others, and most of the trees in the Laozu Temple had been cut down, and even the statues had been demolished, so it was no longer suitable for living in.

Next day, Xiang Nan discussed with the villagers the burial of Lu San.

The villagers all support Lu San's return to his roots.

Moreover, it was Xiang Nan who sacrificed food to save the whole village when there was a big disaster.

Therefore, the villagers are also grateful for this kindness, and naturally they will not shirk it, and they are all eager to help.

During the discussion, I heard the sound of car horns outside.

When everyone came out to greet him, they saw Lu Zhaopeng getting out of the car.

"Heiwa~"

"Zhaopeng~"

When Lu Zhaopeng saw Xiang Nan, he was very happy and strode forward to greet him.

Xiang Nan also greeted him with a smile.
