Return To 1977 Chapter 236: Blessings
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
The biggest surprise, of course, was that the "general" sent "Zhou Hulong" to the hospital.
On the morning of December 7, "General" and Han Ying were the first to visit.
When the couple opened the layers of oilcloth in the package together and revealed a black tiger dragon that was more than four feet long, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were completely stunned.
Although the object shrank and turned into a dried fish, its sword-like figure and iron-like scales still reminded them of the most frightening moment they had ever experienced. For a moment, their chests and abdomen seemed to feel the stinging pain of being cut.
Of course, they never expected that they would not be able to find it after all the hard work, even risking their lives but still failing. The treasure they had just passed by turned out to have been by their side all along!
Oh my god, they went in a big circle and returned to the same place, only to realize that it could have been so easy to get this thing!
What is this rhythm? This is clearly the rhythm of God playing tricks on people, making people wish they could vomit three liters of blood!
And just when the two people were dumbfounded and confused, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, the "general" began to tell them the origin of this "frustration of tigers and dragons". Only then did they truly understand what " "Good fortune plays tricks on people", and my mentality calmed down.
The "Frustration Tiger Dragon" of Ganqing was passed down from the distant ancestor of "General" and was obtained in the 13th year of Tongzhi (1874).
Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that the fifth day of December of that year was the day Emperor Tongzhi died.
But what people don't know is that, in fact, long before Emperor Tongzhi's illness was diagnosed, Cixi had already issued a secret order to rush 800 miles to the "Dashou Ula General Manager Yamen" in Liaodong. (Because Butha means "fishing and hunting" in Manchu, it is also called Buthaula. This institution is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and its responsibility is to purchase various specialties from the Northeast for the Qing royal family and nobles)
Ordered the "Ula General Manager" who was in office at the time to lead his "Ula Shiding" (bannermen specializing in fishing and hunting under the Wula Yamen) and cooperate with "Jilin General" to summon coastal fishermen and go into the sea to hunt together. Defeat the tiger and the dragon." Want to use this to save the emperor's life.
Not to mention, the "Shuhulong" was actually caught later, and it was the fishermen of Bincheng who lost dozens of lives to get it.
However, the day when the work was completed was already after the "Jilin General" received the news of Tongzhi's death in Beijing. This time, of course, a good thing turned into a bad thing.
In this regard, the "Jilin General" was very angry. He missed the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, and he was even more afraid that the news would be leaked. If the "Manager Ula" knew about it and reported to the capital, it would definitely make "Lafayette" angry and hateful, and lead to death. From this, he became murderous.
So on the night when the fishermen returned to the shore, in order to eradicate those fishermen who participated in hunting the "Shuhulong" overnight. The "Jilin General" then ordered the soldiers to guard the shore under the guise of a reward of wine and meat. After gathering the fishermen, they would slaughter them.
After this disaster, almost all hundreds of innocent fishermen died tragically and became burial objects on the spot. Only one person survived, and that was the distant ancestor of the "general" who guarded the "Frustration Tiger Dragon" alone due to a temporary illness with diarrhea and never got off the ship.
Needless to say, once the massacre started that night, the distant ancestor of the "general" understood everything. He was heartbroken, fearful and hateful, so he took advantage of the chaos and sailed away alone, taking the "Frustration Tiger Dragon" that had not been presented to him and fleeing to a distant place.
Many years later, after learning that "General Jilin" was transferred elsewhere, the distant ancestors of "General" dared to return to their homeland. Since then, this "Tiger Dragon" has become a "heirloom" of the old Chiang family.
After learning that the "defeating tiger dragon" in the hands of the "general" had such an allusion, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
They couldn't help but think, if compared with the hundreds of lives that were lost due to "thwarting the tiger and the dragon", the sins they suffered and the setbacks they expended were nothing.
On the contrary, they can now save their lives and get what they want. It is far better than the unlucky emperor who died unexpectedly before he could "defeat the tiger and the dragon". What's there to complain about?
What's more, if you think about it again, you will realize that this crime was not in vain.
Because if they hadn't gone through this catastrophe, how would they have known that their relationship with buddies like "General" and Yang Weifan had already reached the point of being at odds with each other after they had only known each other for a short time?
Not to mention the relationship between the two of them, which has completely reached the highest level of friendship, where they can sacrifice everything for each other without any regrets.
So up to this point, the nascent resentment between Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan not only disappeared instantly. Instead, I couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in my heart. I am even more in awe of the invisible hand that can control destiny at will.
But in this way, the relationship between them and the "general" seems to be extremely interesting.
Because the two of them are extremely grateful and grateful, they insist on giving each other generous financial compensation. But the "general" felt ashamed and guilty, and insisted on giving away the "frustrating tiger and dragon" for nothing. As a result, the three of them almost got into a fight over this matter.
In the end, Han Ying said something quite reasonable and finally calmed down the war.
What she means is that regardless of how valuable the "Suppressed Tiger Dragon" is, there is no doubt that there are countless lives behind it.
Because no matter how poor and miserable the old Jiang family were, they never thought of selling this thing. Instead, they passed it down from generation to generation. They probably remembered the past and maintained a kind of respect for these lives.
Now that Hong Yanwu's father relies on this thing to save his life, it can be said that this thing is put to good use, and it is obligatory for the "general" to give it to him as a friend. But if you use money to sell it, it would be a bit sorry for the many lives that have been sacrificed for this thing.
These words were really difficult for Hong Yanwu to refute. He thought about it and felt that the "general" was not short of money now. He had no choice but to nod.
But then he said it very sincerely, even if the "general" was willing to give up his ancestral belongings, and risked his life to save their lives, it could not be measured with money. In this case, he would not say thank you for the great favor, and he would have no choice but to repay this friendship in the future.
In this way, there is no longer any dispute about this matter, and everyone is in harmony as before.
But then, Chen Liquan said something seriously, which made everyone laugh unexpectedly.
This kid actually said, "Xiao Wu, even Emperor Zhi didn't get something, but your father got to enjoy it. This is amazing. And doesn't this mean that your old man is more blessed than the emperor?" Is it thick? What kind of fate is this..."
Hong Yanwu was stunned at the time. He never expected that Chen Liquan's thinking could be so eccentric.
But even more unimaginable, the "general" is actually good at teasing occasionally. The boy was having fun and was already joking.
"I don't know what fate Xiaowu's father has, but you two actually killed a 'Torion Tiger Dragon' on your own. This is obviously the lone star of the evil god! The fate is so hard that even the divine object is defeated. ..."
Hong Yanwu immediately shouted stop.
"Stop it! We haven't married yet. If your words get out, will we look for you when we are singles?"
After hearing this, not to mention the "general" and Han Ying couldn't hold it back anymore, the couple laughed out loud together. Even Chen Liquan opened his mouth and laughed "hehe" a few times.
However, this smile affected the wounds in the chest and abdomen, making it look more like a grin.
