Unexpected Guest: Lou Hongjun

  As a result of the two injuries, the underground cave was exposed. Lou Lianchang, who had previously vowed to eradicate the feudal cultural poison, heard about it and began to stir again. Isn't this just being idle with a full stomach? Didn't the deaths of so many people before suffice?

  Liao Dongfeng asked Duan Lao about the origin of this Loulian Chang, and Duan Lao thought for half a day before answering.

  Do you still remember the curse of the mouse driver? This matter of Lao Lianzhang is going to start from there. In fact, this matter also happened not long ago, it should be three years ago, when the Northwest Construction Army Corps passed through Shaanxi, the last train had an accident, at that time many people were killed and injured, and Lao Lianzhang was on that train at that time.

  It is said that at the time, no one knew where the incident occurred. At least when the tragedy happened, it would not be known immediately. Later, I heard that a large group of rats carried the wounded one by one to a nearby village, which caused quite a stir at the time.

  Later, the Red Guards who arrived also found the mouse charioteer, but this mouse charioteer had a very strange temper, which enraged the leader of the Red Guards. In the end, he was accused of many crimes and could no longer escape the shadow until his death by suicide.

  Later, this Lao Lianchang heard about the matter and went to mourn the Yu Shu Ren after leaving the hospital. He also made an enemy of the local Red Guard leader because of this. Due to both sides having a deep family background, although they had been at odds for a long time, neither side could do anything to each other. Later on, when the higher-ups instructed them to improve military-civilian relations, Lao Lianchang temporarily retracted his claws. However, he was still waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, so every time the Red Guards made a move, he would take action first and stir up trouble.

  In addition, the reputation of the Mouse Catcher in the local area was actually quite good, so after the incident, the locals also strongly maintained the reputation of the Mouse Catcher. In order to intimidate the reckless Red Guards, the locals fabricated a curse about the Mouse Catcher.

  However, later on, this curse suddenly came true. The leader of the Red Guards died of a strange illness, his team collapsed, and those who had persecuted the intellectuals with him also ended up badly. Lou Lianchang was overjoyed when he heard about it, but from then on, no one dared to provoke this person again. However, this person also developed prejudices against intellectuals from then on. Although they didn't openly cause trouble, everyone knew what they were doing behind the scenes, they just didn't want to say anything.

  Upon hearing this, Liao Dongfeng's expression changed to a smile and he said: "A man of strong character, I like it. If I have time, I should go see him, who knows, we might even get his help."

  Just after finishing speaking, a noisy sound came from outside the ward. Soon, Liang Tao rushed in anxiously and said: "It's bad, it's bad, that Lou Lianchang has arrived."

  At this time, a loud noise was heard, and the door of the ward was kicked open. A man in his 30s, wearing a deep green military uniform and holding an armed belt, quickly came to the bedside. He casually pulled Old Duan aside and others brought him a stool to sit down. Then he said to Liao Dongfeng, "Brother, you are Liao Dongfeng, aren't you?"

  Liao Dongfeng hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded. At this time, the loud and heroic voice of Lao Lianchang suddenly grabbed Liao Dongfeng's shoulder and said: "Brother, we meet too late, without a bright lamp to guide us, we can't walk together!"

  "Let go, let go! It hurts!"

  Lou Lianchang saw that he had accidentally hurt Liao Dongfeng and quickly let go of his hand, apologizing: "Sorry, sorry, I was too excited and forgot myself. My surname is Lou, Lou Hongjun, from Beijing. I only heard about Brother Liao's hospitalization yesterday, so I came to visit."

  "Who told you?"

  "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my grandfather came over yesterday, and it was with your father. My grandfather told me, 'Brother, you're a good kid, let me take care of you more in the future,' so from today on, we're family. Here, if anyone dares to touch a single hair on you, I'll skin them alive."

  Liao Dongfeng looked at Duan Lao in the corner of the wall after listening, then smiled and said: "Big brother, since we are a family, I won't speak two ways either. Currently, I really need your help. I suppose you've also heard about the Rui Mountain underground palace? If this feudalistic poisonous tumor isn't eradicated, we future flowers of the motherland will be in danger!"

  "What exactly do you want to say?"

  "It's like this, after I recover from my injuries, I still need to continue digging the Dog Emperor's mausoleum, so I hope big brother can lend a hand at that time."

  After listening to Liao Dongfeng finish speaking, Lou Hongjun also quickly expressed his stance: "No problem, then what do you need?"

  "It's not good to talk about it now, I'll let you know when the time comes. Also, you'd better not go to Rui Mountain Mausoleum again, it's too dangerous there. Look, I wasn't careful and got hurt."

  Luo Hongjun stood up after listening, walked around the ward for a circle before saying: "This is the real reason I came to find you." He said this and had his subordinates ask Duan Lao and others to leave, only continuing afterwards: "Do you know why I was so bold as to blow up the imperial mausoleum that day?"

  "The underground palace has mercury poison gas, I suppose you know it too."

  "This I naturally know, but at present we completely do not need to worry about the poisonous gas, because the Mouse People have gone through thirteen generations of effort, relying on mice to transport sulfur powder back and forth in the underground palace, so the poisonous gas inside the underground palace has already become very weak."

  At this point, Liao Dongfeng asked somewhat puzzled: "Why did the mouse people want to do this?"

  Because they were the descendants of the craftsmen who originally built the imperial mausoleum, they hated that place thoroughly. Alright, I should be going too, don't forget to notify me when you enter the underground palace again." After finishing speaking, he turned around and gathered his subordinates, saying in a low voice: "Let's go, we need to investigate the case of the missing corpse at the Institute." Finishing speaking, they hastily left, not even giving Liao Dongfeng a chance to ask for clarification.
