Chapter 33
Today is New Year's Eve, and the people on the island have endured another cold and boring night. Fortunately, tonight is New Year's Eve, and according to the custom of my hometown, everyone is keeping up the New Year's Eve.
Li Xiao put a stick of incense on each of the memorial tablets of his parents and sisters. During the Chinese New Year, it is easiest to miss relatives. Li Xiu took his brothers and sisters and knelt on the ground to kowtow.
"Bring the razor!" Li Xiao suddenly said.
"Brother, what are you doing with the razor?"
"You go as big brother tells you to do it, what nonsense." Li Hu kicked Li Hao, and Li Hao trotted off to get the razor.
"Second brother, shave my hair." Li Xiao said loudly.
"Brother, do you want to become a monk?" Everyone became nervous. Xiaoyu pulled Li Xiao's sleeve tightly. Xiaobai, who felt the tension, stood on the beam and turned his head to look at Li Xiao. He didn't know who this person was.
What kind of hysteria does the boss have?
"What kind of monk am I? I will swear an oath in front of the memorial tablets of my parents and sister today. As long as I don't avenge them for a day, I will not grow my hair for a day." Li Xiao revealed the premeditated plan that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
The long hair on my head is unbearable.
Who needs a man to comb his hair like a woman? Letting your hair down makes your mother feel as uncomfortable as you want. Today I finally found such an excuse and finally shaved my head.
Filial piety is as great as the sky! No one can explain the excuse Li Xiao made. Even those bitter scholars would give a thumbs up when they heard it. They praised Li Xiao as the most loving and filial person!
"Brother!" In these days, everyone, as long as there is nothing wrong with them, has a long head of hair. Hearing Li Xiao say this, Li Xiu immediately started to cry.
"Masters, why don't you keep horse urine? Remember it! If you bleed and sweat, you won't shed tears; if you shed skin and flesh, you won't fall behind." Li Xiao used the slogan in the army to cheer up Li Xiu.
Li Xiu mustered up the courage and started to use the knife on Li Xiao's head. His long hair fell to the ground one by one. Xiaoyu squatted next to Li Xiao and collected every strand that fell, not knowing what to do. I heard that
Later generations would use collected hair to make soy sauce. Isn’t this little girl going to join the seasoning industry?
Li Xiu didn't know how to cut hair, so Li Xiao simply asked him to shave his head. He felt refreshed, clean and straight. He no longer had that warm feeling on the back of his neck!
Unfortunately, after the haircut, Li Xiao felt a little regretful. This is when the warmth-keeping function of hair is working in winter. At this time, he shaved his head and felt chilly.
There is no way, if you shave your hair and try to grow it out, you will have to wait a long time.
"I'll shave it too! If I don't avenge my parents and eldest sister, I'll have my head shaved for the rest of my life." Li Hu angrily sat down on the chair and asked his second brother Li Xiu to shave his head.
The result of shaving their heads was that Li Xiao, Li Xiu, Li Hu, and Li Hao all had their heads shaved.
"Brother...! Xiaoyu wants to shave too!" Xiaoyu pulled Li Xiao's sleeve and begged.
"Well……!"
During the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone looked at the weird costumes of the Li family. They didn't understand that the eldest brother, who was taking the lead, suddenly shaved his head. Could it mean that the eldest brother was going to become a monk?
"Boy! What are you doing? This head...!" Ao Canghai looked at Li Xiao in surprise and asked.
"Today I pay tribute to my parents and sister. I feel sad when I think of their tragic death. I just want to shave my hair. If I don't avenge them, I won't grow my hair for a day."
"Oh! That's it!" Ao Canghai felt a stone fall in his heart, and muttered: "I thought you were going to become a monk!"
Man Gui, who was next to him, also looked worried, and felt relieved after hearing Li Xiao's explanation.
People are not allowed to drink alcohol on New Year's Eve, which has somewhat aroused dissatisfaction from some people. However, Li Xiao's prestige through the collection of praises has successfully suppressed everyone's dissatisfaction. After all, it is all Li Xiao's fault that Pidao is what it is today.
Made it happen.
When recruiting troops, calling for honest people has a very good effect. Honest people are generally timid and like to obey other people's orders. If they were all people like Ao Canghai Mangui, there would have been trouble long ago.
Li Xiao described today as the most dangerous day, because there is not only no moon tonight, but also the most relaxed day of the year in the eyes of ordinary people. If there is a sudden attack at this time, unimaginable chaos will definitely occur.
The most dangerous night came, and Li Xiao stared out the window. The sea was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
His nerves were tense all night, and when the light came out the next day, Li Xiao realized that he had waited another night in vain!
Next is the first and second days of the Lunar New Year!
Even the most honest people can't help but complain. They are not allowed to sleep every night, and they are not even allowed to have a drink during the Chinese New Year. How can they live like this? It is seriously anti-human.
If Man Gui and Ao Canghai hadn't tried their best to suppress it, something might have happened.
"Brother Xiao, this can't go on like this. There is a person who can commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. I am not allowed to sleep every night, and the day and night are reversed. Look at the expression on everyone's face!
You can't just say that there are a few birds flying in the sky, just because the Tatars are coming to attack." Although they tried their best to suppress their men, Mangui and Ao Canghai were also full of resentment.
These two are the masters who never drink or have sex. Now they not only have to stay up day and night. They also have to stay away from alcohol! This will cost the lives of these two guys. How can they live their lives without drinking.
"That's right! The day and night are reversed, which makes me feel listless during the day." Man Gui also joined in.
Li Xiao didn't speak, and it was difficult for others to speak. The atmosphere was so awkward!
In fact, many times, Li Xiao thought that he was neurotic. Two sea greens flew in the sky. Maybe it was just a coincidence. This year is not the future, and there are many sea greens. Maybe there is such a thing.
Two of them, just flew over the island to visit.
There is no need to create such a fuss. The soldiers are already complaining. The reason is all due to their own suspicions.
But there is a voice in my heart that keeps telling me that I shouldn't let down my guard. Maybe the enemy will attack me tonight!
Different opinions turned into two villains, and heaven and man were at war in Li Xiao's mind, turning Li Xiao's mind into a pot of porridge.
"It's the third day of junior high school today, and we've been doing this for more than ten days without seeing a single trace of the Tatars. You guys don't say anything, but they are already dissatisfied in their hearts. Brother Xiao, we can't go on like this."
"I also feel that we can't go on like this. The landmines were dug at night and dug during the day. It's not expensive enough." Mangui felt very resentful that he had to dig and bury landmines every day.
"Don't hesitate, let's let everyone relax tonight. I've been doing this nervously for half a month, and I'm all exhausted by you."
"It's still not okay to drink, but I can sleep tonight." Li Xiao finally compromised. People who are in a state of nervous tension for a long time can lead to abnormal behavior, especially honest people who are recruited during recruitment. These people are usually good at venting themselves.
The mood and nerves have been tense for a long time, and it will be terrible if something happens.
"If you're celebrating Chinese New Year, don't be afraid of drinking some wine. Just drink one bowl per person!"
"No, I'll give you a bowl and you'll want to drink a jar. You're not allowed to drink a drop. It's the best you can do to let everyone sleep together." Li Xiao flatly rejected Man Gui's request. This guy can't drink enough.
.
Although drinking was still not allowed, I was able to have a good sleep at night. This somewhat relieved some of the anger in everyone's hearts. Everyone had a lively dinner, but no one dared to drink.
After dinner, Xiaoyu pestered Li Xiao to tell stories again. She had no choice but to tell him the story of a blue cat carrying a sword and traveling to the end of the world with his sword. As for the question of why cats can talk, we will not discuss it anymore.
Within the scope of Li Xiao's consideration.
The stove in the room was very hot, and Li Xiao was talking. His voice gradually became quieter, and he had been working on it for half a month. He was tinkering with mortars and fixed ammunition. He was already exhausted physically and mentally.
I was tired. After dinner and being roasted by the fire, I felt my eyelids bulging after a while.
In the dream, Li Xiao returned to the afterlife, and he was lying on the bed sleeping. Suddenly, a van hit the building, and Li Xiao felt that the building was crumbling. The mountain was shaking for a while, and the building actually fell down.
Li Xiao struggled to get up from the collapsed building. Before he could curse the shoddy construction, he was awakened by a sharp pain!
Li Xiao was sleeping on the recliner in the living room at home. He had taken off his coat and put it aside. He might have been tossing too hard just now and actually fell off the recliner.
His face came into close contact with the ground, and it hurt so much that Li Xiao sucked in cold air. He felt very cold under his nose, and it felt sticky when he touched it with his hand. His mother's nose actually started to bleed!
The brothers and sisters all went to bed. Li Xiao lit a candle and got a basin of cold water to wash his nose. The best way for nose bleeding is to pat the forehead with cold water. This is how my mother got nose bleeding when she was a child. It stopped the bleeding very quickly!
The bleeding stopped and the person woke up. There was still some sleepiness, but now it was all gone by the basin of cold water.
Through the glass, I could see that it was pitch black outside and there was no light at all on the sea. Although through the glass, I could still hear the howling of the north wind and the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks.
Since he couldn't sleep, he simply put on his clothes and went out for a walk. Li Xiao still felt uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen recently.
After putting on his clothes, Li Xiao went downstairs. The guy standing guard at the door was actually dozing off. Li Xiao was so angry that he went up and kicked the guy. The guy stood up and trembled.
Seeing it was Li Xiao, he quickly saluted.
The sentry at my door is like this, so it can be seen that the sentry in other places must be lazy. It is also my fault that I have been tossing for half a month and everyone is tired.
Wrapping up my clothes, I walked to the mortar position. It was okay here. The artillerymen all lived in the house next to it. Although the sentry at the door was dozing off, the big yellow dog barked. This guy woke up immediately and knew how to ask Li Xiao.
The password is much stronger than the sentry at your door!
After kicking the beast and screaming, Li Xiao stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down.
Suddenly, Li Xiao saw two angry wind lanterns appearing on the sea. The two lanterns were moving through the waves, as if the old Dragon King came out to patrol the sea at night.
No, my ship didn't go out tonight. The crew members were all sleeping in the dormitories! So these ships are...!
"Shout everyone." Li Xiao ran a few steps and kicked the sentry. He quickly ran towards the alarm bell!
Kankan ran in front of the alarm bell and had just grabbed the wooden hammer with both hands. Suddenly, there was an explosion on the south side of the island. The sound seemed to be mixed with human screams.
Chapter completed!
