War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 19: The Old Partner (Thanks to 'Fengqi Longan' for another 600 reward!)
Under the moonlight, the oil lamp kept shaking in the house. In the dim room, Xu Chaoyang sat at the innermost end of the kang table, close to the window. Qu Yong got on the kang in slippers and sat on the right side, leaning against the wall. Liu Gen was on the far left, leaning against the kang piano.

There was a kang table in front of the three of them. There was no delicious food on the table, just a pot of stewed chicken and some pickles in a sauce jar.

Qu Yong looked at Liu Gener and asked, "Hey, why did you come back with my brother? I remember that you are a relative of the old Yu family, right?"

Liu Gener glanced at him, pinched the meat from the chicken thigh with his fingers, and then put it into his mouth: "What's wrong with the relative?"

Qu Yong asked again: "People say that relatives from afar are more fragrant, and neighbors are more capable than others. If you stay at Old Yu's house, with your skills, how can you not make a small living every month?"

"Fuck, do I care about him?"

Liu Gener reached out and wiped his pants, his hands were greasy and sticky. "I've thought it through. I'm in Old Yu's family. After all, I'm just a cousin. If I follow the company commander, he has to treat me as his brother."

This made Xu Chaoyang laugh. All the unhappiness of the evening was swept away. He even joked, "Maybe not. Maybe I'll push you out to block the bullet tomorrow."

It was originally a joke, but Liu Gener said seriously: "It should be!"

"If I stand in the No. 1 position, I will block bullets for the company commander. I also believe that the company commander, who is in the No. 1 position, will definitely block bullets for me."

The serious look in his eyes, without a flicker, made Xu Chaoyang's scalp tingle. It seemed that he was not drinking with Liu Gener in this era. It was as if he saw his once fierce comrade-in-arms saying after getting drunk: "If there is a war, I will die in front of you. I am more patriotic than you!"

The boy was from Beijing, and they all called him Jingpianzi. Not only was he extremely poor, but what anyone said in front of him was never true. But no one was bothered by him, and no one took what he said seriously. However, when he said that, all the brothers at the table believed it.

Just like today, Xu Chaoyang believed every word Liu Gener said.

"brother."

Xu Chaoyang picked up the wine bowl. He knew that after picking up the bowl, the lives of the brothers would be linked from today on.

Ding.

The wine bowls collided with each other, Liu Gener raised his head and drank the wine, Qu Yong raised his hand and shouted: "Half open, half open, fuck!"

Qu Yong grimaced in grievance. This kid drank a bowl of wine, which must have been more than three taels.

Xu Chaoyang did not hesitate, he drank the wine in one gulp, and with the aroma of alcohol rising up, he opened his mouth and sang: "Brotherhood is more important than heaven, no more words are needed..."

Even today, he still likes these days of drinking and singing, likes the boiling blood in the military camp, and likes this group of "righteous people who are mostly butchers".

He likes to live this kind of life without pretending, and he likes to pull out a gun when he is angry, and he loves whoever he wants...

"Stop howling and look what Daddy found."

Wow.

When Old Xu entered the room, he threw a handful of dollars and gold and silver jewelry onto the table. Liu Gen'er and Qu Yong both stood up from the kang, staring at the gold and silver jewelry with shining eyes.

These were all things that the bandits had snatched from Yu's family and hidden away secretly. Now, these guys who had hidden the jewels have become corpses and were pulled back by Xu Chaoyang and his cavalry. Who knew that Old Xu would get such a big reward by searching the pockets of the dead!

"Big brother!"

Qu Yong turned his head and looked at Xu Chaoyang immediately, and said in a grumble: "Give them two. They have been holding it in for more than half a month. It's time to let them go."

Xu Chaoyang was so amused by Qu Yong's performance that he kept coughing while laughing. After he finished laughing, he cursed, "Look at how little you can do."

He was not polite at all, he collected all the money in his hand, and took out ten dollars first: "Dad, we brothers are honoring you, from now on, all your food and drink will be paid from here."

Old Xu was quite happy and stretched out his hands to take it.

At the same time, Xu Chaoyang took out another ten dollars and pointed it towards the east room with his mouth: "As for the mother and daughter, since we promised Damazi Lu that we would take care of them, Dad, we can't be stingy. As long as it's within a reasonable range, give them whatever they want."

"Okay." After the old man took the money for the second time, Xu Chaoyang saw that there were still more than twenty silver dollars left on the table. He divided the money into two, stuffed one handful into Qu Yong's hand, and handed the other handful to Liu Gener.

"I can't just call you my brother for nothing, and I can't spend the money on my own."

Xu Chaoyang continued: "The remaining little bit..."

Among the pile of objects, there were gold brocades, silver bracelets, and a shining gold tooth, and no one knew who had broken it from...

Qu Yong immediately added, "The rest belongs to Big Brother. You are the boss, so you should take the lion's share."

Xu Chaoyang opened his mouth and cursed: "Get lost, you treat me like you, don't you have enough money?"

"In this battle tonight, you all know how many bullets we will have, right?"

"I said..."

He found that no one was listening to him. The two guys felt that Xu Chaoyang should take the money as he pleased, and they didn't even need a reason.

Looking at the attitudes of the two boys, Xu Chaoyang remembered that this was 1931. The purchasing power of a dozen oceans in those days was not what modern people understand as a dozen dollars. To put it bluntly, this amount of money was enough for a family to live on. So what else did Liu Gener and Qu Yong have to say?
When the two brothers took the money, Old Xu's eyes were filled with jealousy!

Isn’t this too much?
These two brothers have been soldiers for many years but have never seen so much money!
"Brother, what did you just say?" Qu Yong was so happy that foam was coming out of his mouth, then he turned around and asked.

Xu Chaoyang didn't want to pay attention to him and said, "I said I'll use the remaining jewelry to find a new partner for my father..."

Liu Gen'er had also finished counting the money at this time, and immediately became alert: "Captain, this is serious business. My uncle is so old, how can he not have a woman around him?"

Xu Chaoyang had no idea what to say and his eyelids kept rolling up.

Old Xu's face flushed red as he interrupted, "Actually...it doesn't matter if I look for it or not..."

Hahahahahahaha...

Xu Chaoyang laughed out loud, making everyone in the room laugh.

Wow! Wow!
But the laughter of the adults stopped the baby's crying, and Xu Chaoyang quickly reached out to suppress the voices of others.

Then he calmed down and said, "You two, don't show off after taking the money. Send the money home quickly. Your family is still waiting for you to live. Do you hear me?"

"You!" Xu Chaoyang pointed at Qu Yong and said, "If you dare to leave your family without a penny and go to whorehouses, I will fucking cut off your third leg!"

"You!" Xu Chaoyang turned his head and looked at Liu Gener: "If you dare to go to the treasure bureau in the city again, we will have to have a good talk."

These days, soldiers have all the bad habits, so Xu Chaoyang can't help but worry...

bump.

Just at this moment, there was a sound of something heavy falling in the yard, and Qu Yong immediately got up from beside the quilt and started to operate the machine.

squeak~
The strange thing is that despite the loud noise, not only did the dog in the yard not bite, even the big goose was very slow and didn't seem surprised. It just called out twice and then left it alone.

The sound of the door being pushed open reached Xu Chaoyang's ears, and then a voice shouted at the door: "Captain, I'm back!"

When the figure appeared in the dim light, Yu Minghao's face appeared in the house.

　Thanks to 'Fengqilongan' for another 600 reward. It's too much and too expensive. What is this for?
　　Thank you so much!
　　Brother, listen to me, just click the like button when you have nothing to do, don’t spend money.
