At noon, when the sun was rising, Chen Dabang returned to Dongpo under the watchful eyes of Li Huaishan and I.
He saw us from a distance, smiled and waved to us, and Li Huaishan also waved in return. , I glanced at Chen Dabang, and then stared at the village in trance.
When we entered Baozi, Chen Dabang asked me under the wall: "Have you had lunch?"
I didn't want to pay attention to him, but Li Huaishan responded: "Not yet."
Chen Dabang shouted again: "Come down and eat something.
I happen to have a lot of steamed buns here."
Li Huaishan was probably hungry, so he wanted to go down on the spot, but he took two steps towards the wall, and when he saw that I didn't move, he pulled back.
Chen Dabang waited below for a while, and when he saw that neither Li Huaishan nor I had the intention to go down, he sighed and returned to the house angrily.
When the door to the east room closed with a creak, Li Huaishan came over and asked me in a low voice: "What are you doing?
Why don't you go down and have something to eat?"
I glanced towards the east room and said to Li Huaishan: "You can eat what you want.
Anyway, I don't want to have any more interactions with Chen Dabang and the others."
"Hey, I'm talking about you."
Li Huaishan said half of his words, but then he couldn't continue for some unknown reason, so he sighed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and sat down in front of the wall.
I knew he hadn't finished what he said.
Sure enough, after a while, he asked me again: "What should we eat for lunch today?"
I smiled at him: "Have you ever heard of inedia?"
Li Huaishan said "Ah": "What are you doing?
Are you going to go on a hunger strike?"
I still smiled, then raised my head and looked in the direction of the village.
I have nothing to eat.
If I hadn’t been worried about Widow Wang running away again, I wouldn’t have stayed here.
If I hadn’t been disgusted with Chen Dabang and Widow Wang, I wouldn’t have even opened the door to the east room. close.
Anyway, if it weren't for Widow Wang, Li Huaishan wouldn't be hungry at noon today.
If you want to blame, blame Widow Wang.
Li Huaishan definitely couldn't think of so much.
When he saw that I didn't want to continue to pay attention to him, he blew out a big puff of smoke with a resentful look on his face and stopped talking.
The fort suddenly became very quiet, and there was nothing to see in the village.
I felt bored, so I sat down against the wall and smoked a cigarette.
Not long after, the door to the east room was opened again, and Chen Dabang walked out carrying a basin sealed with plastic paper.
At first I thought he was here to deliver food, but when I stared at him, he raised his face slightly and gave me a very gloomy look.
This look was fleeting.
At this moment, he lowered his head and quickly walked out of the fort with the basin.
Not long after, I heard the sound of splashing water coming from outside the earthen wall.
It wasn't until Chen Dabang returned to the house with the basin that Li Huaishan frowned and said to me: "We were smiling just now, how could we become like this in the blink of an eye?
Humph, it must be Widow Wang who said that we bad words."
I flicked the cigarette butt in my hand away: "Don't worry about them, they won't change the world."
Li Huaishan held his head and leaned against the wall, sighing: "Oh, I thought he just came out to deliver food."
"I guess we haven't got any lunch.
You can go back to Old Man Chen's house in the afternoon and bring something to eat, otherwise we will both be hungry at night."
As I said that, I followed Li Huaishan's example and raised my head.
With both arms, he hugged the back of his head.
Li Huaishan: "How about I go to Old Man Chen's house now?
There's nothing to do at the moment anyway."
I rolled my eyes at him: "When you return to the village, Old Man Chen and Boss Huang will start eating.

For your sake, Old Man Chen will have to cook an extra portion of rice.
Let's not bother them."
Li Huaishan nodded thoughtfully: "Yes."
While we were talking about this, there was a "clang, clang, clang, clang" sound coming from the dirt slope outside the bunker.
Li Huaishan and I looked at each other, and immediately got up and looked outside the bunker, and saw old man Chen pushing a one-wheeled cart. , panting up the slope.
In order to guard the rhubarb these two days, Old Chen has not closed his eyes for a moment, and his body is very weak.
Now he is walking on the slope, his forehead and neck are covered with sweat, and a faint wisp of steam can even be seen above his head.
To be honest, looking at him like this, I was really worried that he would not be able to put it on in one breath and die suddenly, so I quickly jumped off the fort wall and ran towards Old Man Chen.
Old man Chen was not polite.
When he saw me running towards him, he stopped and stood there wiping sweat with his sleeves.
I quickly came to him and glanced at the trolley.
I saw a large can on the trolley.
There were also two large sacks hanging on the handle of the trolley.
Judging from the outline of the bags, they looked like they were inside.
It should contain a lot of dry food.
As I grabbed the handlebar and pushed the car towards Baozi, I said to old man Chen: "You should take it easy.
You haven't slept for two days and you are still doing such heavy physical work.
I don't want to kill you."
Old man Chen laughed at me: "Hey, I have nothing to do anyway.
I guess you two didn't have anything to eat at noon, so you just came over after eating something."
I haven't seen him all morning, and I feel that his mood seems to be much better than the previous two days.
Generally speaking, old man Chen's changes in mood should be related to rhubarb.
I also thought of this, so I asked casually: "How is Rhubarb?"
Old Man Chen sighed: "The situation is getting worse and worse.
Yesterday I stopped eating and drinking, and today I fell into a coma.
Alas, it's better to pass out.
At least I won't be punished.
I can see it sleeping in a daze.
I feel more relaxed.”
I nodded and continued to push the car towards Baozi.
Old man Chen followed me.
Every two steps he took, he would look towards Baozi.
I felt that he seemed to be looking for someone, but he didn’t ask any more questions. .
Old man Chen followed me into the fort.
When Li Huaishan saw that there was something to eat, he immediately jumped off the wall and ran towards me.
As he ran, he shouted carelessly: "Uncle Chen, how can you give me back?"
The food is here, take a look, I’m troubling you again.”
This guy was probably starving.
After seeing the food, his tone of voice towards Old Man Chen became much more friendly.
Old man Chen just smiled at him, and then turned his attention to the door of the east room, looking there in trance.
With a long "squeak" sound, the door of the east room was pushed open, and Chen Dabang stepped out of the threshold carrying a fire stick.
As soon as Old Man Chen saw him, he subconsciously took a step back.
Chen Da Bang glared at Old Man Chen fiercely, picked up the fire stick and rushed over.
When Li Huaishan saw something was wrong, he quickly stood between Chen Dabang and Chen Dabang, staring at Chen Dabang's face.
Old Chen lowered his head silently, Chen Dabang glared at Old Chen, and Li Huaishan stared at Chen Dabang.

After I put the cart down, I stood in the distance and looked at these three people with interest.
Li Huaishan ignored it for the time being.
My eyes shifted several times between Old Man Chen and Chen Dabang.
I felt more and more that the reason why Old Man Chen shrank back was not because he was afraid of the stick in Chen Dabang’s hand, but because he felt guilty in his heart. , or it could be said that there was something wrong in his heart, and although Chen Dabang deliberately pretended to kill someone, he did not take another step forward after all.
Although Li Huaishan blocked him, if he really wanted to kill someone, he would probably try to push Li Huaishan away.
While these three people were confronting each other, I saw from the corner of my eye that the window of the east room had been opened through a small gap.
Widow Wang took a quick glance at the castle courtyard through this gap, and then said He closed the window very quickly.
The first person to come into contact with the confrontation happened to be Chen Dabang, who was the most aggressive.
He opened his eyes wide with all his strength, focused all his anger in his eyes, and cursed a very dirty word at Old Man Chen, and then became angry.
He turned his head and returned to the house like a gust of wind.
Next, Old Man Chen also let out a long sigh and walked out of the fort without even saying hello.
As soon as these two people left, Li Huaishan also put on a puzzled expression.
He looked at the east room, then at the earthen door on the fort wall, and finally turned to me and asked: "What are these two people doing?"
I first waved my hand to signal Li Huaishan not to meddle in his own business, then I untied a sack containing dry food and threw it to Li Huaishan.
According to my thinking at the time, no matter what kind of grievances Old Man Chen and Chen Dabang had, it was their family matter.
As outsiders, Li Huaishan and I were inconvenient to interfere.
Yes, the matter between Old Man Chen and Chen Dabang is indeed a family matter that outsiders cannot get involved in, but I ignored a few things.
One is the change in Chen Dabang's attitude towards us, and the other is that Widow Wang also saw the scene just now.
Nothing happened while I, Li Huaishan, was eating, but when we finished our meal and planned to go back to the wall to continue watching, Widow Wang finally began her revenge.
At that time, I climbed to the top of the wall first, Li Huaishan, and then leaned down, intending to give Li Huaishan a hand when he came up.
Just when Li Huaishan took a few steps back and was about to rush forward quickly, the window paper in the east room was pierced by a black pole.
The pole was about the thickness of my thumb and had a very smooth appearance.
When I first saw it, I was still curious about what it was.
But soon, I smelled a faint smell of gunpowder.
Although my shooting skills are terrible, I am someone who has played with guns after all.
As soon as this smell appeared, I was shocked and quickly shouted to Li Huaishan: "Get down" Normally, Li Huaishan doesn't listen to my instructions very much, but this time he seemed to feel the danger behind him.
As soon as he finished speaking, he lay on the ground without thinking.
First I heard the muffled sound of Li Huaishan falling to the ground, and then I heard a "pop" sound coming from the window of the east room.
The earthen wall under my feet was impacted by some force, and there was a weak sound.
The earthquake was felt, and a small amount of dust was raised on the inside of the wall.
It's a real gun If Li Huaishan hadn't laid down early, his life or death would be in doubt.
At this time, the gun barrel that had been stretched out of the window retracted into the room, and then a dark eyeball was pressed against the hole in the window, looking into the fort courtyard
