Chapter 170: Mr. Meng
A unique two-story courtyard filled with all kinds of flowers and plants.
There are many red blessing strips hanging on the neatly trimmed green branches, and the wooden windows and pillars next to them are even written with vigorous and powerful characters. All of this reveals a sour and rotten atmosphere unique to literati.
.
That's right, this is where Meng Fangliao's father lives. The expected scene did not appear, but to everyone's surprise, the environment where his father lived was actually quite good.
"I said it's annoying. I'm afraid you're worrying too much. It seems that your father is living quite comfortably in Heshun Town."
In the yard, Long Wenwen smelled the fragrance of the blooming peonies in the flowerpot and smiled jokingly at Meng Fanliao.
"That's right, this two-story attic is almost as big as my house in Zenda. Look, there's a cellar over there!" Milong began to look around as soon as he entered the yard, comparing it with his own house.
Faced with their sinister teasing, even the always venomous Meng Fan was unable to refute, because the facts proved everything.
Meng Fanle's parents were sitting in the lobby, waiting for their son to behave accordingly.
Meng Fan had no choice but to walk obediently to the middle of the hall, took off his helmet and knelt down towards the two relatives in the hall.
"Dad, Mom, your son is back. I would like to say hello to you."
After speaking, he kowtowed three times respectfully. This embarrassing scene made other people present grin.
No matter how old it is, the feudal society's greeting rules are still preserved, which shows how conservative and pedantic Meng's father's thoughts are.
"Where is the face? Where is the decency?" Father Meng shouted angrily.
Seeing Meng Fanlao's colorfully painted face and nondescript clothes, he felt very angry. This was really degrading to gentlemen and showed no sign of a scholar.
But the mother couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up tremblingly and walked towards the son whom she cared about day and night. Maybe she was too excited and fell to the ground before taking two steps.
"Oh, help people quickly!"
Dong Dao and Zhang Liu hurriedly went up to help her. They knew some first-aid techniques in the world. Dong Dao pinched Meng's mother's acupuncture point, while Zhang Liu used his palms to press her back to help her breathe.
But Meng's father didn't appreciate it at all. He stood up and slapped the table hard, shouting sternly: "What kind of decency is this? How decency is this! There are no rules!"
Perhaps in his eyes, the feelings of his wife and children were far less important than the so-called face and rules. Meng was annoyed and just knelt there in shock. The long-term high pressure made him unable to resist at all.
A person's morality and conduct are actually related to his family environment. The reason why Meng Fangliao is venomous is closely related to his family of origin.
His father's name was Meng Yanzhi, and he was a schoolboy who studied abroad in the late Qing Dynasty. Although he had traveled abroad and seen the world, he still retained deep-rooted feudal ideas.
Lao Meng's family is considered a prominent family in Peiping. Both of his ancestors were scholars, so they attached great importance to these so-called "traditions." Meng was severely treated by his father when he was young, and the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, benevolence, righteousness, and morality were bound to him.
Those etiquette, morals, and rules were like invisible shackles that imprisoned his young mind. When to do things and when to say things, these were all set by strict rules.
The father is the absolute authority in the family and must not be exceeded in any situation. One can imagine... what would it be like for Meng Fanlao who grew up in such a feudal, ignorant and perverted family environment?
Meng Fanlie has been suppressed since he was a child, so since he left home and left his father, he just let himself go. He said whatever he wanted to say, did whatever he wanted to do, he had to fight against everything, everyone had to be hurt, so this
It gave him a pair of sharp teeth.
Liao Mingyu couldn't stand it anymore. Although he knew what kind of person Meng Fanle's father was, he realized that this kind of person was really disgusting when he got close to him.
Meng Yanzhi didn't care at all that there were so many people present. He angrily prepared to go to his study room on the second floor, and it happened that Liao Mingyu was standing at the top of the stairs.
"Get out of my way!" Meng Yanzhi said rudely: "Why are you blocking me? Don't you have eyes? Get out of my way!"
Liao Mingyu's face twitched unconsciously. No one has spoken to him like this since he came to this time and space.
Everyone in the Sichuan Legion stared unkindly at this stubborn old man. Even Meng Fangliao, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up and said, "Dad, be careful what you say, this is my regimental commander!"
"Old man, the purpose of your son's coming here is not to greet you. He wants to take you away from the Japanese and to the rear of Zenda. I also hope that you will not waste our time."
Liao Mingyu said to Meng Yanzhi politely, after all, it was Meng who had annoyed his father, and he still had to give him the face he deserved.
Meng Yanzhi saw that this young officer was somewhat impressive, and his expression softened a little:
"That's all, I don't want to stay in this disputed place anymore. But sir, you can leave but I have a condition, please come with me."
Conditions? I worked so hard to bring people here to negotiate terms with you? Liao Mingyu felt extremely unhappy, but for the sake of Meng Fanle, he still suppressed his anger and followed him to the second floor.
Meng Fan's mother was sent to the bedroom to rest, but everyone downstairs looked at each other. For these guys with mud-legged backgrounds, today was an eye-opener.
After a while, Liao Mingyu came down, and he was seen frowning with a gloomy face, and he was in a very bad mood.
As expected, Meng Yanzhi's request was very simple, which was to help him take away all the books on the second floor.
"Tuanzu, we should leave. If we delay any longer, the Japanese might come over." Long Wenwen came over and said anxiously.
"The Japanese won't come for the time being. They rarely come to Heshun Town after the imperial edict. They only patrol once every three to five days."
Before Liao Mingyu could speak, Meng Yanzhi, who came down from upstairs together, opened his mouth to explain.
Liao Mingyu looked back at him. Mr. Meng had just explained to him upstairs that this scholar who claimed to be highly educated had become a traitor and traitor that everyone despised.
Mr. Meng, who values decency, was not only recruited into peace in Heshun, but also became the acting security chief of Heshun Town. However, the villagers who did not know what decency was meant would rather die than be recruited into peace.
The reason why Mr. Meng agreed to the Japanese was mostly because of his treasured books, and part of it was simply to survive.
Just because of these books, Meng Yanzhi spent everything he had. From Peking to the South, and then from the South to Heshun, he spent all the money of the old Meng family to take these books with him. He regarded these books as more important than his life and health.
Family is more important.
"Bang!" Just at this moment, there was a sound from the wing next door.
Liao Mingyu and others became nervous instantly. Everyone they could see was in the courtyard and the lobby. Mother Meng who fainted was also on the second floor. How could there be any movement next door? Is there anyone else?
"Who else is in this room?" Long Wenwen asked in a low voice.
"Hey, don't worry about this irrelevant person." Meng Yanzhi replied unnaturally. Although he tried his best to stay calm, the panic in his brows still did not escape the eyes of Long Wenwen and others.
Liao Mingyu raised his head towards the wing and gave a loud order silently. Dong Dao and Bu La picked up their submachine guns and quickly placed them on both sides of the door.
"Oh, I told you that he is just an insignificant person, so don't bother with him!"
Mr. Meng was furious at this moment and wanted to go up and grab Dong Dao and the other two, but was stopped by Liao Mingyu.
"Bang!" Dong Dao kicked open the door, Bu La rushed in immediately, and Dong Dao followed closely with a gun...
However, the scene in front of them made these two resolute men a little overwhelmed.
"Captain... come and take a look." Dong Dao shouted out the door in embarrassment.
Liao Mingyu hurried over and found a young woman in the room, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
I saw that the woman was wearing a thin middle coat, and she looked relatively delicate, but her eyes were full of bloodshot eyes and fear, and her fair arms and neck were covered with bloodstains.
The room was filled with an aura of hormones, and this woman was huddled in the corner of the bed with her hands on her knees, looking at the strangers around her with great fear, muttering something unknown in her mouth, and would startle if they came even slightly closer.
A scream.
"What a bastard! I'm sorry to bother you, but I've even found a girl for you." Bu La mocked at the side.
This situation made Meng Fanxiao feel ashamed. His face turned red and he turned to ask his father: "Tell me, who is this person? You are not really a lackey of the Japanese, are you?"
Everyone was a man, and it was obvious that the room looked like a happy nest, and from the look of the woman, it was obvious that she was often forced to do such permissive things by men.
He knew his father's character very well. Although he was arrogant and had a bad temper, he was by no means a womanizer, and he would never do such a thing as hiding a girl in a golden house.
