The chirping of birds, the gurgling of water, the whistling of the wind, and the rustling of leaves made this magical Xiangxi primeval forest quiet. Compared to the war outside, it seemed to be at peace with the world.
The town had a nice name, Wind Chime Crossing.
Mu Liangfeng jogged all the way to town and headed straight for the Wu family's courtyard.
There were two most luxurious and beautiful mansions in the town. One was Liu Rengui's Liu Residence, and the other was the Wu Family Compound, which served as the town hall and the security team's headquarters. In order to prevent bandits and fleeing soldiers from looting, the two mansions had deep walls and large courtyards with many turrets.
Two security guards with guns on their backs stood at the entrance of the Wu family's courtyard. When they saw Mu Liangfeng running over, panting, they smiled and teased,"Liangfeng, is there a lover in town?”
"No!" Mu Liangfeng widened his eyes.
"No. Why are you in such a hurry?" "Are you thinking of borrowing guns from us again?" The two security guards laughed strangely.”
"Stop trembling. Hurry up and inform the mayor that I have something important to discuss with him.”
"Haha, something important? What important matter could you have?？”The two security guards said,""Don't tell me you're thinking about Liu Yan?”
"What Liu Yan? Hurry up and tell Wu Yunzhi that I really have something important to discuss with him.”
Seeing that the two of them were still laughing foolishly, Mu Liangfeng got angry."Are you guys going or not? If you don't go, I'll beat you up."
"Good, good, good! Young Master Zhao, please wait a moment. I'll go inform the mayor now.”The two security guards saw that he was really a little angry and were afraid that he would complain to Wu Yunzhi or Song Qing, so they opened the door and ran in to inform the mayor.
Speaking of which, Mu Liangfeng's family had done Wu Yunzhi a favor. Ten years ago, a group of bandits from other places passed by and wanted to take advantage of the situation. They surrounded the Wu family's courtyard. Under the threat of 20 to 30 long and short guns, the bandits robbed Wu Yunzhi's family of all their belongings and left. Wu Yunzhi was quite popular. Although he had made his fortune in other places by relying on his ruthlessness, he was very friendly to his neighbors. As long as he knew who was short of food and clothing, he would definitely take out some money to help them. He was at the opposite end of the spectrum from his cousin Liu Rengui, who usually ran amok in the village and was bent on taking advantage of the people.
It was because of this that Old Master Mu, who had some prestige in the local area, led over 200 young men from the village to help him recover his belongings. From then on, Wu Yunzhi treated the villagers even better and listened to Old Master Mu's every word. Later on, Wu Yunzhi became the mayor of Fengling Crossing and set up a security team in the town. He gradually started to oppose his domineering cousin, Liu Rengui. From time to time, he would " speak for the people " and find trouble with Liu Rengui. Only then did Liu Rengui restrain himself. Behind the scenes, the Liu and Wu families were even more incompatible.
The next year, Old Master Mu moved into the mountains with his grandson, Mu Liangfeng, for some reason. From then on, he had less contact with the Wu family. However, Old Master Mu still had his face. If anything happened, he just needed to let Wu Yunzhi know, and Wu Yunzhi would do as he was told.
Upon hearing that Mu Liangfeng had arrived, Wu Yunzhi put down his teacup and personally went to the door to welcome him.""It's Liangfeng! Why are you here? Come in quickly." Then he scolded the two guards." Liang Feng is family. Next time he comes, don't stop him. Don't report him. Just let him in, understand?"”
The two security guards looked at each other." Mayor, we understand."
Wu Yunzhi was in his early forties this year. He was tall and burly and wore a gray robe. He pulled Mu Liangfeng into the main hall with a smile on his face and asked someone to serve him tea. He guessed that Mu Liangfeng had not eaten lunch, so he instructed the servant,"Hurry up and get some food."
"Mayor, I'm not eating. I have to rush back soon!" Mu Liangfeng said.”
"You have to eat. If you're late, stay at my house first. It's not too late to go back tomorrow.”
Mu Liangfeng told him about John.
When Wu Yunzhi heard this, he immediately beamed with joy."I also received a call from the county a few days ago. They said that an American pilot might have crashed in our area and asked me to organize people to search the mountains. Unfortunately, our manpower is limited, so we didn't find anything for a few days. I didn't expect you to find him.”
The food was served immediately. There was a big bowl of white rice, half a roasted chicken, and two home-cooked dishes. Mu Liangfeng was really hungry. He was exhausted after running for more than 20 miles on the mountain road. He was also carrying a gun and ammunition that weighed more than ten kilograms on his back. Wu Yunzhi smiled as he watched him finish the food and said,"Is the old master's health alright?"
Mu Liangfeng nodded." It's alright. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. Brother John said to send him back early."”
"Haha, I didn't expect Mu Liangfeng to have an American brother!”"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to go with you to pick him up," said Wu Yunzhi jokingly.”
"There's no hurry. Get someone to come over tomorrow!”Mu Liangfeng naturally had his own tricks up his sleeves. He couldn't bear to let such a good teacher like John leave today.
Wu Yunzhi nodded." Alright, then I'll send someone up the mountain to pick her up tomorrow."”As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from the room and handed it to Mu Liangfeng."These are the high-quality cigarettes I brought back from the provincial capital last time. Take one back to the old man.”
Mu Liangfeng thanked him and accepted the cigarette before quickly leaving the room.
When the two security guards saw Mu Liangfeng come out, they teased him again,"Liangfeng, you're leaving just like that! Why don't you let Song Qing take you to find a woman to have fun with?”
Mu Liangfeng originally wanted to ignore them, but when he saw the two 80% new "Hanyang Made" weapons in their hands, his interest was piqued."Brothers, can you lend me your guns?”
"No!" Those two fellows knew that Mu Liangfeng loved guns, and now that he had a favor to ask of him, they immediately acted like big shots.
"I'll just touch it for a moment. I definitely won't shoot!”
The two guys said," Stop it. Last time, you said you wanted to borrow a gun and you touched it. In the end, you knocked out two of my bullets, causing the mayor to scold me.”
"I'm not lying to you this time. If you don't believe me, withdraw the bullet and I'll touch it.”
The two of them still didn't agree.
"How about this? The next time I come, I'll bring you a fat pheasant.”Mu Liangfeng used his trump card.
Hearing that there was a fat pheasant, the two guys agreed. Mu Liangfeng touched the gun in his hand and felt wonderful. It was as if he was happy to the bone.
A security guard said,"Look at you!" With your marksmanship, isn't it easy for you to play with guns? Come to our security team and we'll give you a new gun immediately. Or you can join the national army! It's better than the fire stick on your back.”
Mu Liang frowned and sighed,""My grandfather wouldn't allow it! He didn't allow me to be a soldier or join the security team.”
"Then we have no choice! Just play with your fire stick!"
Hearing this, Mu Liangfeng was furious. He took out the beautiful Browning pistol from his waist and said,"Let me broaden your horizons! See if this is a fire stick."
The two security guards were stunned. They didn't expect Mu Liangfeng to have such a treasure. They fought over the Browning pistol. Mu Liangfeng let them have their fun for a while before snatching it back."This is called a Browning pistol. Only American military officers are qualified to equip it. The Americans gave it to me. You can't afford to pay for such a good treasure if you break it.”
After saying that, he saw that the sky was a little dark. He was afraid that it was going to rain. Then, he carefully put the pistol back into his waist, returned the Hanyang gun to the man, and ran out of the town.
