Chapter 409 405. Grandpa Gou Gou’s Heroic Past (Part )
"what!"

Luo Yihang was listening fascinatedly.

When I heard that Uncle Gou Gou was arrested, I couldn't help but scream out in surprise.

He asked hurriedly: "What happened next?"

Teacher Xu on the other side was much more heroic, clapping and cheering: "Good! As expected of you, you are the old man in robes and belts, you are really amazing~~"

The latter sentence also uses singing style, which is high-pitched, passionate, gentle and lingering.

Uncle Gou Gou enjoyed listening to it very much and laughed heartily while stroking his beard.

Luo Yihang replied with a smile, "What else can I do? I'll just put him in a dark cell and hang him up and beat him."

Even as he was talking about being tortured, Grandpa Gou Gou became happier. "It was in that dark prison that I heard that the Japanese's homeland was bombed. It was from our Tianhan airport that the Wanzi Squad was wiped out and 71 people were killed."

"The planes that took off bombed the Japanese homeland."

"The little devils were scared, and the old man was happy."

"The old man has been used with the tiger bench, chili water, and red-hot iron. He feels that his life is over, so he is happy!"

"In the end, the old man didn't die, hahahaha." Grandpa Gonggong laughed heartily, "The Anti-Japanese War was won, and the Japanese devils ran away. The old man saved his life again."

Luo Yihang recalled that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, B29 bombers took off from Tianhan and bombed Kyushu in 44, and Yuncheng should have been victorious in 45. In other words, Uncle Gou Gou suffered another year of torture in the dark prison.

but.

Why did he return to Tianhan to participate in the bandit suppression in 1950?

Where did the five years in between go?

"Where to go? The old man was recuperating from his injuries and had been lying in bed for almost a year. By the time he recovered, the War of Liberation was over. He hadn't caught up with anything." Grandpa Gou Gou was still very disappointed when he said this.

"Oh shit!" Luo Yihang couldn't help but exclaimed again.

Just a few words could bring about so much torture.

Calculating the time, he should have been in his teens at that time, no more than early twenties, the age of a high school or college student.

Mr. Gonggong, you are really a man!

But Grandpa Gonggong waved his hands at Luo Yihang and said, "It's all in the past."

Then continue talking.

"After liberation, I thought I could finally live in peace, but then I heard that Tianhan had started to suppress bandits. There were many bandits here, starting from the Qing Dynasty. Ping'angou was the place to stop the bandits."

"I didn't expect that they would still make trouble after being liberated. How can that be allowed?"

"I asked the organization for a letter of introduction and came back to join the 19th Army to fight bandits. The old man was a local and was familiar with the roads. He could serve as a guide and lead the troops to the mountains to find the bandits' lair. We stayed in the Qinling Mountains for nearly two years. It was not until 52, when the bandit fight was over, that we came out of the mountains."

"As I said before, after I got out, I looked everywhere for her, but I didn't know if she was still there. I searched for more than a year, but I was discouraged and returned to Shanxi. I registered my household registration in Yuncheng."

At this time Luo Yihang suddenly asked: "Did you look for it on the street at that time? Didn't you go to the government to ask?"

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Luo Luo was about to slap his thigh again, but asked Luo Yihang to block it with his hand, saying, "Stop slapping it. You've slapped it too many times today. It's going to be swollen if you slap it again."

"Why didn't you ask? But I never thought I would have to go to court to ask."

"Then the troupe didn't register anything at that time?" Luo Yihang asked curiously. In his impression, troupes and companies had to be registered.

Teacher Xu was somewhat amused by the younger generation, explaining, "When the country was first established, nothing was perfect, and the troupe still used the old tradition of paying homage to King Zhuang of Chu. It seems that we were not under the jurisdiction of Nanzheng County until 1954, and officially became a county troupe in 1961."

Ignored, ignored.

Luo Yihang smiled apologetically at Uncle Gou Gou and asked him to continue.

"Then, in a flash, it was 1989. I thought the pile of things at home were still hidden, so I had to find them. Otherwise, they would be gone when I died."

"So I applied to the organization again, and Tianhan settled down in Ping'angou after returning."

"After I settled down, I dug out the things I had hidden in the mountains. It had been so long that the lime had hardened and the notebooks had become damp. I copied them again, and I have been copying them for all these years."

"Then we started mass production and the Third Front construction. It was like this in my lifetime..."
-
Luo Yihang never expected that this old man in the village had been very old since he could remember.

This little old man loves to brag at the top of his voice.

This little old man is always cheerful and loves to play with children.

This old man who could play cards for an entire afternoon at the entrance of the village had such an eventful first half of his life.

As a teenager, he endured hardships and traveled through the war zone for five months to sneak into the Japanese air force base.

It took a month of boldness and carefulness to explore and find gaps in the defense.

He bravely broke into the enemy camp at night and risked his life to assassinate the enemy, just for revenge.

He responded by lurking on the roadside and killing the officer.

He was captured accidentally and thrown into a dark cell, but he laughed out loud at the sight of his enemies being frightened, even though this meant cruel torture.

He recuperated for five years, and after recovering from his injuries he resolutely returned to his hometown to continue fighting against bandits, and hid in the mountains for another two years.

After returning victorious, he searched tirelessly for his old friend, but when he found nothing, he became disheartened and left his hometown.

Ten years later, he returned to his hometown and devoted himself to national construction while rescuing and sorting out the remaining documents.

Decades passed, and the hero grew old, with white hair...

Any one of his experiences is enough to make a big drama.

Even if there were only three people present, they would applaud Uncle Gou Gou and shout, "Good! He's a real hero!"

Teacher Xu’s singing voice is still high-spirited.

Wait for the applause to subside.

However, Teacher Xu and Captain Zhang keenly grasped the last thing that Grandpa Gou Gou said.

"Old man, do you have a script?", "Do you have a script?"

The two people spoke in unison, their words were different, but their meaning was the same.

Grandpa Gonggong boasted frankly, "My Wanzi Troupe started learning calligraphy and keeping books during the Tongzhi period. To date, we have 461 opera scripts, 95 portrait drawings, and 100 facial makeups. They are all stored in the old man's room, one original and one copy."

Uncle Gougou's mood had calmed down, and he started bragging and showing off again.

Seeing the old man happy, Luo Yihang also helped to show off, "I can prove that Grandpa Luo Luo can also make puppets, the kind of puppets in the showroom. I have seen "The Mad Monk Sweeps Qin", which has Jigong and Monk Fengbo."

As soon as these words came out.

Director Zhang and Teacher Xu stood up and asked anxiously, "Is it really "The Mad Monk Sweeps Out Qin"? Is there also a "The Mad Monk Sweeps Out Qin" in the Gugu Opera?"

Grandpa Gonggong nodded, "Of course, it's the unique skill of our Wanzi class."

"Hiss~~" Teacher Xu took a breath of cold air, extremely excited, "Another one, another one. Do you have the "Emperor's Pearl", "Yingrong Sword", and "Lianhe Play Scenery"? "

There is no need to think about it, the fruits have been so ripe after so many years that they cannot be planted again.

"The Emperor's Pearl has it, but the other two don't."

Teacher Xu just looked disappointed.

Grandpa Gou Gou added: "I also have "The Iron Sword", "Water Flooding Jinyang", "The Red Tassel", "Carrying the Pulley", "Fighting Ma Chao", "Dingjun Mountain", the complete version of Mu Guiying and the complete version of "The Story of Yue Fei". "

Wow, ding ding ding ding a long list of play names were announced.

Teacher Xu was full of surprises.

He was shaking with excitement, and finally recovered and clapped his hands.

"Yes. Paodai Lao Wan, Paodai Lao Wan, your Wanzi Troupe is best at big dramas and martial arts. Many of the ones you mentioned have been lost. We have been searching for them for decades but have not found them."

Grandpa Gonggong was so happy, "I have more than 400 copies at home."

Teacher Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he felt a little embarrassed. "Well, you..."

Everyone knew what she meant.

Uncle Gou Gou waved his hand without stuttering, "All is yours, take it now. Your troupe is now the root of our entire Gou Gou opera."

What a high level of awareness.

After saying that, he looked at Luo Yihang, "Hang kid."

Luo Yihang also did not stutter at all, "Take my car and go straight back. Let's go home for dinner."
