Chapter 22: Strange People and Miracles
"I wonder what the two around me are called?" Lin Xi asked.
"These are two bad disciples, Yang Zhengtong and Yang Zaixing."
"Yang Zhengtong (Yang Zaixing) has met Township Chief Lin." The two seemed to have been trained, and they took a step forward at the same time, clasped their fists and spoke in unison. Yang Zhengtong was the more handsome, and Yang Zaixing was the more powerful.
"I am older than the two. If you don't dislike me, just call me Brother Lin." Lin Xi said.
"That's not OK. You can't mess up your seniority. Today, when you see Brother Lin, you feel that you are in love. Just call Uncle Lin. You won't lose money in the future." The old man instructed Yang Zhengtong and Yang Zaixing.
"Yes, Master." The two bowed to the old man, turned to Lin Xi and said, "Uncle Lin."
"Well", fortunately, I have been the village head in the past six months, and most people I come into contact with are older, and children who are not a few years younger than me dare not talk to Lin Xi for peers. Like Zhengtong, No. No. Ai Xing's nephew also recognized a lot. So Lin Xi didn't feel that it was unnatural. After answering Zhengtong, after another excitement, Lin Xi asked the old man again: "Brother Yang, why do you live on this mountain and refuse to stop the mountain?" Seeing that the old man didn't say anything for a long time, Lin Xi said again: "It's me that's abrupt."
"Oh, there is nothing that cannot be said. It's just that I have been getting older and I have to think about some things before I can remember them." The old man pondered for a while before answering.
In fact, the old man heard Yang Zhengtong talk about Lin Xi's achievements since becoming the village chief. He knew that Lin Xi was a good official who sincerely serves the people and a good person, so he was relieved to tell Lin Xi about this past, and he also intended to use Lin Xi's ability to find a way out for his two apprentices.
The old man asked Lin Xi to sit down and uncovered a dusty history.
The old man's surname is Yang, his name is Qingbai, his ancestral home is Chubi Province, he was born in 3913, and he is 90 years old this year. When he was young, he became a disciple of Xingyimen. He started practicing martial arts since he was five years old and returned home to farm at the age of 20. He lived a good life, but the Japanese came.
In 3936, one morning, the Japanese went to the small mountain village where Yang Qingbai was located to mobilize. Because Chongwu, the small mountain village where Yang Qingbai was located, was aggressive, and the people were fierce, and the resistance was fierce, more than a dozen Japanese devils were killed.
The Japanese were angry and beaten to death by killing more than 500 people in the village. Except for Yang Qingbai who survived to practice in the mountains, all the rest of the village were killed. Yang Qing's father, mother, wife and son, and other family were shot by him, were beaten to death, and the house at home was burned. When Yang Qingbai returned to the village, he saw only blood and dead bodies on the ground.
Yang Qingbai was full of hatred. He hated the Japanese devils and the traitors. In this way, he joined the 26th Route Army of the Alliance Party and became a 3rd platoon soldier in the 3rd Company of the 181st Regiment of the 181st Regiment of the 31st Division. In 10, he participated in the fierce battle of Niangziguan. Because of his bravery in combat, he slashed twenty-one devils with a big knife in his hand and was promoted to platoon leader.
On March 24, 3938, the Segu Detachment of the Japanese invading army launched an attack on Taierzhuang. Yang Qingbai's 31st Division was responsible for defending the north gate of Taierzhuang. On March 27, the Japanese bombarded the Taierzhuang wall, and the north wall was blown down, and the Xiaobeimen was also destroyed. The officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the 181st Regiment guarding the Xiaobeimen were killed. More than 300 Japanese troops broke into the city. The fierce street fighting began, and the Japanese army once occupied three quarters of the city. Yang Qingbai was ordered to hold on to a two-story building with his comrades.
At that time, the Japanese army occupied the east gate and the bunker. The orthodox soldiers on the west gate hid in the private houses, just a lane from the Japanese. Yang Qingbai used a pickaxe to dig out the hole of the gun on the wall and stretched out his rifle to shoot at the opposite side. In order to avoid bullets, he built up the furniture of the people high as cover.
Both sides hid in the room and did not dare to look up easily. They shot when they saw the figures on the opposite side.
There were no pedestrians on the streets, and Japanese tanks rushed around from time to time, and countless earth walls in the city were knocked down. The orthodox army on the upper floor tied grenades together and threw them over, with little effect. Later, the troops mobilized two flat-fire cannons, and one shell passed by, which made the iron armored monsters smoke.
The plane hovered over Taierzhuang, but did not drop the bomb - the two armies strangled together, causing the Japanese plane to throw a weapon.
Yang Qingbai was guarding the hole of the gun with a rifle, quietly aiming at the house opposite. Every day, he had to fire a lot of guns. Because he had practiced martial arts, he had very good eyesight and accurate shooting skills, and often made the Japanese scream.
For more than 10 days, Yang Qingbai stayed in the room like this, and he could not leave the person for a moment. When he was sleepy, he would doze with his comrades in a row. When he was hungry, he would eat some brown rice. Without the utensils to serve the rice, they would eat a few bites in a towel with a bun.
After nearly a month of this street battle, Yang Qingbai blew up the opposite Japanese bunker, destroyed their ammunition depot, and killed dozens of Japanese Japanese devils. Yang Qingbai was promoted to company commander for his merits.
After the victory of the Taierzhuang Battle, Yang Qingbai followed the troops to fight in various places. Later, seeing that the alliance party was not determined in its attitude towards resistance, he left the troops and came to the Northeast alone to continue to attack the Japanese invaders. Later, he joined the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army and assassinated senior Japanese generals and traitors many times. Yang Qingbai was most proud of his assassination of a Japanese lieutenant general once, and then relied on his high martial arts skills to withdraw from the Japanese encirclement without any damage.
Yang Qingbai persisted in the Northeast until Japan surrendered, killing and injuring Japanese officers, soldiers and traitors Buy more than 300 traitors. When the Japanese in Northeast China mentioned Yang's head cutting, they were really frightened and did not dare to go out at night.
During the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Yang Qingbai refused the order of the Baxing Party to promote him to the leader of the regiment. He did not want the orthodox people to beat the orthodox people. He stayed alone in the mountains where there were few people, but he did not expect that his martial arts were achieved through observing various animals in the mountains.
It was not until 1962 that he returned to the black soil he had fought in the northeast, and built a house on the most remote mountain in Luyuan Township, Fengtian County, and settled down. In 1989, Yang Qingbaijing was very interested in moving, walked down the mountain and adopted two orphans, named Yang Zhengtong and Yang Zaixing, which meant Orthodox and Aixing.
After listening to Yang Qingbai's story, Lin Xi realized that the elder in front of him was not only a famous martial arts master, but also a great hero in the fight against the Japanese invaders. Although Yang Qingbai did not describe many of the battles he had participated in, Lin Xi understood history. In history, the battle between Niangziguan and the bloody battle in Taierzhuang was not a bloody river or a mountain. There were no need to mention the hardships of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army. During his heyday, there were 40,000 people in the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, but later they retreated into the Soviet Union, but there were less than a thousand people. The arduous struggle of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in the 14-year War of Resistance.
When Yang Qingbai saw Lin Xi looking at him with a respectful look, he knew that this was also a passionate man and a good man who could sacrifice his life for orthodoxy and shed his blood. He thought that he would live up to his responsibilities by giving the orthodoxy to this person.
However, seeing how fast Lin Xi was when he went up the mountain was not something that ordinary people could do. I don’t know why, “Brother Lin, when I saw you running all the way up the mountain, have you ever practiced martial arts? Who is the master?”
When Lin Xi saw Yang Qingbai asking about it, she didn't dare to hide it, so she told Yang Qingbai about the changes he had after An Ning got the Black Pearl.
After hearing this, Yang Qingbai pondered for a while and said, "It seems that the black bead is not an ordinary thing. I didn't expect that the world of the world is really full of wonders. Come on, let me give you a vein and see if you are unusual."
