Chapter 53

"Hello? Who is it After the phone was connected, Ma Shujuan's voice was slightly haggard.

After many days, hearing her voice again, Yang Xiaobao almost shed tears.

"Miss Ma, I'm Xiaobao!" Yang Xiaobao's voice was trembling.

"Xiaobao... Can you still call in there?"

Yang Xiaobao: "well, yes, I can call my family every month."

"Then how do you remember to call me... Are you OK in there? Can you have enough to eat? Does anyone bully you? " Ma Shujuan's tone is full of complaint.

"I'll call you often in the future." Yang Xiaobao turned to see the instructor one eye, just found a yiguli white him one eye.

Yang Xiaobao was a little embarrassed. He just wanted to make Ma Shujuan happy. And where do you get so many phone calls?

Yang Xiaobao went on to say: "I'm fine here, the food is better than at home, and no one bullies me. Our instructors are very nice, warm-hearted and kind-hearted. They give me the most relaxed job. "

A Yi Guli white Yang Xiaobao one eye, embarrassed to move body, away from him a little bit.

"That's good. This time, you must remember this lesson, perform well in it, strive for commutation and come out early, ah!" Ma Shujuan's voice choked a little

"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Ma. I still don't remember what you said. I'm always too impulsive to do things. Miss Ma, I miss you so much... "

A moment of silence, Ma Shujuan said: "I miss you too. These days, I'm busy with the factory site. I feel so tired. When you're away, I can't make up my mind about many things."

Yang Xiaobao bit his teeth and forced his tears down. He didn't want to lose face in front of the instructor.

"Miss Ma, it doesn't matter if I'm not here. My sister-in-law is not in good health, and brother Dachun has no idea; You can decide what's going on in the factory. It's our own business. Don't be too tired of yourself. I'll feel sorry for you. "

"... Xiaobao, I regret it! I really regret why I got on with you. I miss you so much. I also regret why I didn't give myself to you earlier. If only I could give you a baby. "

Ma Shujuan sobbed in a low voice over there.

Yang Xiaobao was so moved that he couldn't speak for a long time. It took him a long time to control his mood: "Mr. Ma, you hold on, I will transform myself in it and try to get out early to get together with you. That day won't be too far away. I'll have to trouble you. Please tell my family that I'm fine. I dare not call them... "

Ma Shujuan: "well, I'll bring it. Xiao Bao, no matter how long I wait for you to come out. I don't want fame or money. As long as you don't think I'm old, I'll always be with you. "

Yang Xiaobao: "why? In my heart, teacher Ma has always been the most beautiful. After I go out, no matter how much money I spend, I will cure the disease. Let's have a baby and a big nest together. "

"Well, when you come out, I'll give birth to as many children as you want." Ma Shujuan said firmly.

This call is not going to go on, Yang Xiaobao hung up the phone, holding his shoulders are shaking, tears can not stop flowing down.

Until this time, he finally understood that teacher Ma's love for himself was so deep.

"Thank you, instructor."

Yang Xiaobao red eyes went to the body of ayguri, sincerely said to her.

"Well, you're done. Go back and report."

Ayguri told him to leave without saying anything.

Yang Xiaobao pushes the cart back to the small stone house, but Gou's father is still waiting for the vegetable field that seems to be never served well.

"Old man, I've come back. The dog has been fed. If you don't have anything else, I'll go back to rest!"

Father Gou: "well done. Don't hurry. Come in and have a cup of tea."

Yang Xiaobao hesitated: "but I'm a prisoner. I'm not allowed to cross this wall."

"It doesn't matter. I said hello to your instructor. Come in." Father Gou has come and opened the door.

So Yang Xiaobao was no longer polite. He followed father Gou to the dim stone house. Father Gou took out an enamel jar and poured some herbal tea out of the thermos for him.

During the day, the temperature outside is still very high. After pushing the car for a long time, Yang Xiaobao is hot and thirsty. But the taste of Gou's herbal tea is still very mellow. It's cool and refreshing. After drinking, Yang Xiaobao felt relaxed and happy.

"Thank you, old man."

"You're welcome. Take a break and have a cigarette. I promised you yesterday." Father Gou throws Yang Xiaobao a pack of snow lotus cigarettes.

"Good old man." Yang Xiaobao is not polite either. He takes out two of them and sits down with his father Gou.

After Yang Xiaobao finished his herbal tea and lit his cigarette, Gou's father suddenly had no reason to say a word in his mouth.

"Old Huang is old and dying."

Yang Xiaobao: "well, I can see it."

"Ah... I'm old, and I'm not far from death."

Yang Xiaobao: "well, I don't think so. The old man's body looks very strong!"

Father Gou: "Yang Xiaobao, right? Are you from northern Hebei?"

Yang Xiaobao: "yes, the instructor told you the old one."

Father Gou: "my ancestral home is also from northern Hebei."

Yang Xiaobao was a little surprised: "then we are still fellow villagers! How do you come to this place? "

Father Gou is not in a hurry to tell Yang Xiaobao a strange story.

More than 50 years ago, father Gou was a yellow boy at that time. At that time, he was not surnamed Gou, but surnamed Zhao, and his name was Zhao erguan.

Near the village of Zhao erguan's hometown, there is a cemetery of the former Qing Dynasty. It is said that there are two concubines of Emperor Guangxu buried in it.

In the cemetery, there was a tomb keeper with a big pigtail. He was sixty or seventy years old and kept a rhubarb dog. A man and a dog alone in the cemetery for decades. From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and then to the Eighth Route Army, the people who guarded the mausoleum went through three dynasties, and they had been loyal to the imperial concubine cemetery of the former dynasty.

According to the villagers, the mausoleum keeper turned out to be the animal trainer of the Longevity Palace in the Imperial Palace, which is a ancestral craft. If the dog in the village is ill, they always go to the tomb keeper. They basically get rid of the disease.

We all don't know the name of the Shouling people. We only know that his surname is very strange. His surname is Gou. In addition, he would treat dogs, so the Shouling people got the nickname "dog father."

Zhao erguan has nothing to do with himself. He often goes to the cemetery to play with his dog father. He is familiar with him as soon as he comes and goes.

There are many brothers and few fields in Zhao erguan's family. In addition, the war was in chaos at that time, and people were often not satisfied. Fortunately, he was familiar with his father, who was subsidized by the government of the Republic of China with silver dollars. With surplus grain in his hand, he gave some to Zhao erguan. Because of this, Zhao erguan didn't starve to death. Because of gratitude, he recognized the dog father as godfather and changed his surname to gou erguan.

Later, when the dog father died, Gou erguan inherited the will of Godfather and became the second generation of mausoleum keeper and dog father. Later, when the four old tombs were broken, the cemetery was smashed and the tombstone was knocked down. Gou two sticks will be tied up at two ends in three days and dragged to the streets.

Gou erguan couldn't stand it any more, so he took rhubarb dog and ran away. After running for several months, he came here, believed in Islam and took Uygur wife. Later, he joined the Construction Corps, participated in the construction of Kush prison, and became the first warden.

"I am Gou erguan, the first warden of this prison." Father Gou said to Yang Xiaobao.

This story... Yang Xiaobao felt like listening to the book of heaven, and he was filled with emotion.

"Well, I didn't expect that. The old man has such a history. Disrespect, disrespect

"Now the warden kuozibai is my son."

Yang Xiaobao: "ah? Son inherits father's work! How powerful

"Your current instructor, ayguri, is my granddaughter."

Yang Xiaobao was surprised! Never thought of it! No wonder father Gou can get cigarettes to sell in prison. With the influence of his family in prison, let alone selling cigarettes, as long as the old man is willing, he can get some girls to open a kiln for the prisoners.

"Powerful, powerful, this is your family's ancestral business!"

Father Gou said, "that rhubarb dog followed me thousands of miles and came here. I suffered several times along the way, but for Rhubarb dog's alertness, he saved me at a critical moment every time. There would be no me, no Kush prison. In my heart, the feeling for rhubarb is not like that of domestic animals. To some extent, it is my Savior and my elder

Yang Xiaobao sighed: "no wonder people say that dogs know human nature!"

Father Gou: "yes, after so many years, rhubarb has also become Lao Huang. Now we are both dying!"

Yang Xiaobao: "ah, no one can survive. God... Ha ha! Old man, you are really good at telling stories! I almost believed it

Yang Xiaobao suddenly responded. After a long time, he made up a story to tell. This skill is so deep that I almost lost myself.

Gou's old face was wrinkled and he stared at Yang Xiaobao with yellow eyes: "do you think I'm telling a story?"

Yang Xiaobao said with a smile: "if you don't mention Lao Huang at last, I'll believe it. According to your story, he was a rhubarb dog when you were a child, and he has lived with you for so many years. Doesn't that mean that he has lived for at least 80 years? What breed of dog can live more than 80 years? The tortoise is about the same

Father Gou: "it's not surprising that you don't believe it. It sounds so strange. But it's no rarer than someone who can talk to a dog, is it

Yang Xiaobao was surprised!

"Well! Old man, is that me you're talking about

Don't pretend. I've seen it for a long time. Don't forget that my godfather is the Royal trainer in the palace. I have inherited his skills, so you can't hide this little secret from me. This time you should believe that I'm not telling a story

Yang Xiaobao: "OK... I believe it."

Father Gou: "I'll tell you the truth. In fact, Lao Huang has lived for more than 80 years. He was raised by my godfather when he was young. It's almost 110 years now."

Yang Xiaobao: "my day."
