However, Rebu never came to see me again. I even went to Qingfengyi and asked Bald Man, and Bald Man said he had never seen Rebu. But one night three months later, the moon was dim and there was no one near or far. I found four stones in the mountain col. The names of Caspian, Li Desheng, Rowan Lao and Brielle were written on them. I dug a hole and buried it, and then I just sat there and sang. The first song is "Opening the Four Directions", and then the "Respecting the Five Directions" is sung, which opens the east, west, north, and south gates, and respects the treasures of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, so that the souls of the dead will be greeted by gods on every road to heaven. Later she sang "Song of Regret": In the twelfth lunar month, my daughter came to visit her mother. She has been busy for a year. She steamed ten pairs of steamed buns and weighed two pounds of sugar. The older child ate it slowly, while the younger one carried it on her back and came to her father's home. At my mother's door, I picked up the door frame and looked in. The painted coffin was placed in the hall. I called daddy and cried mommy. I missed my parents all year round, but they didn't notice me when they came. As I sang, I felt silent leopards and wild boars coming to the grass not far away, squatting there motionless, foxes with long tails and snakes in floral clothes. They meant no harm to me, and I kept singing without running away. After I finished singing, I stood up to leave, and they also stood up and dispersed. The wind blew in the mountain col, and fist-sized white flowers bloomed in the grass. In an instant, they all flew in the wind, like a flock of pigeons.

Later, I found out that the name of the flower was pigeon flower.

Unable to enter the town hall, Lei Bu and the others went to Chengjiapu, the hometown of the town party secretary, to dig his ancestral grave. They dug up the ancestral grave and found a snake coiled inside. The presence of a snake in the grave was a sign that the descendants would be promoted. They beheaded the snake, took out a pile of bones, stomped on it, and poured a basin of dog blood on it. As for Spencer Wang's former Concub!ne, I found out that she lived in Ganlu Lane in the county town. I squatted in the alley for a few days but didn't meet her. On April 8th, there was a temple fair. When she went to buy fragrant powder at the temple fair, Lei Bu walked over and called out: Mrs. Lu. The woman responded, but before she could turn around, a sack was pulled over her head and she was carried away. Carrying him to the river bank, the four of them discussed how to execute him. At that time, they had few bullets left and were reluctant to use them. They wanted to smash him with sticks or tie a stone to him and sink him into the deep pool. But I am also curious about what this woman looks like. Can she be married to Spencer Wang and shopkeeper Lu? After untying the sack, one said: It looks really good! One said: He has such a good face and a vicious heart! The woman asked who it was and found out that they were from the Qinling guerrillas, so she didn't beg for mercy or cry. She said, "Let me paint her with makeup before killing her." This reminded Rebu, so he hummed and smiled, took a knife and wrote on her face. He wrote the character "老" above the bridge of her nose, and a black character below the bridge of her nose. The skin on her face was torn and bloody, and then he pulled The other three people walked away. The three people were puzzled and said: Don't you want to kill her? ! Reb said: Let her live!

After avenging their revenge, Lei Bu and the other three didn't know what to do for a while. They first decided to bury the gun, change their names, and go to Da Shen Mountain to work as long-term workers for Cai Dong's family. Farmers, in the end, they still have to grow crops? After burying the gun, he dug it out and cried. One of them suggested that since he was used to handling guns and couldn't do other jobs, he might as well join Zhou Baihua. Zhou Baihua is a wealthy businessman in Zhulin Town, Lingning County. His uncle is a brigade commander in the northwest army of the provincial capital. He has his own armed forces at home, and his development is getting bigger and bigger. The security team of Lingning County has nothing to do with him, so they tacitly allow him to dominate one party. Zhou Baihua is the second eldest son and is known as Mr. Second. After becoming powerful, he treats the people in his hometown as friendly, builds roads and bridges, opens porridge shacks, and also runs schools where students can study for free, claiming to be autonomous. Every household in Zhulin Town did not have a portrait of Chiang Kai-shek, but his portrait. Many years ago, Li Desheng went to Zhulin Town to ask Zhou Baihua to join the Qinling guerrillas. He even proposed that after the guerrillas expanded, Zhou Baihua would be the commander and he would be the political commissar. But Zhou Baihua did not agree. After that, they had no contact with each other and did not invade each other. When one person proposed to defect to Zhou Baihua, the other two objected, saying that Zhou Baihua was asked to join the guerrillas back then, and now we are going to defect to him? ! However, since it was difficult to survive without surrendering to Zhou Baihua, they had no idea. Rebu said: When things have reached this point, let God decide. Take out a silver dollar, put the heads on it to go to Zhulin Town, put the tails on it to go to work as a long-term worker, throw it into the air, and the silver dollar will land heads. Rebu said: Are you going to Zhulin Town? One time doesn't count, let's win two out of three. Tossed again, heads, and again, heads again. Four people went to Zhulin Town.
