The sun never sets in America

Chapter 6 My son is like me
bang... bang...

A crisp and loud sound of horse hooves resounded across the valley fields of California's interior.

It has brought new life to this ancient land.

"Yu..."

On the tall maroon horse, a young man wearing a black satin suit pulled the reins and stopped the horse.

During the process of pulling the reins, the horse's hooves soared into the air and were pointed at the blue sky above, as if to conquer the vast and boundless sky.

"Brother, why stop, keep running, I haven't had enough fun yet!" On the other horse, Liu Ming, the second younger brother after Liu Peng, was riding a black and white flower that looked very docile. Immediately, Liu Peng complained to Liu Peng who took the lead to stop. After all, the child's temperament was finally released. He was riding around on the horse. He was addicted to riding. At this time, he suddenly stopped. He was the only one who felt the discomfort. Know.

"Brother, I want to ride by myself, and I don't want them to lead me." The youngest brother, Liu Tian, ​​was held on the horse by the guards and shouted to Liu Peng with some dissatisfaction.

"You kid, just sit still. If something happens to you, I can't bear it." Liu Peng looked at Liu Tian, ​​the youngest and shortest man, frantically breaking away from the guard's arms, and couldn't help laughing and scolding him. .

"Second brother, do you know where this place is?" Liu Peng held a riding crop and pointed at a hilltop with a large number of man-made buildings in the distance and asked Liu Ming, who was urging him to leave.

"It's just a hill, what's there to see?" Liu Ming looked at the hilltop not far away with some disdain and replied, "Brother, maybe he wants to go up the mountain for a tour. It's easy. I'll go with him." Liu Ming Thinking that Liu Peng was going to play in the mountains, he volunteered to tell Liu Peng.

"I want to go too, I want to go to the mountains too."

Before Liu Peng could answer Liu Ming's question, the youngest Liu Tian couldn't wait to shout, his face full of desire for unknown things. This is also the nature of children at this age, especially boys.

"Uncle Fu, tell them two what this mountain is for." Liu Peng did not answer Liu Tian and Liu Ming's almost childish words. Instead, he turned to his follower Fu and ordered him to come. explain.

"Two gentlemen, this mountain is called Zhonghun Mountain. It is a tomb mountain where the brothers who built and died for our Liu Family Fort are buried." Uncle Fu explained to Liu Ming and Liu Tian the meaning of the hilltop opposite. Origin, as he spoke, a solemn expression appeared on his face involuntarily to show respect for the heroes of Liujiabao.

"Now you know where it is." Liu Peng waited for Uncle Fu to finish speaking, and then said to the two of them, "As a person from Liujia Fort, and also the son of the fort owner, if you don't even know what this place is, If you don’t even know the place, wouldn’t it be ridiculous and embarrassing for our father?” Liu Peng educated Liu Ming and Liu Tian with a serious expression on his face.

"It's brother, I'm guilty!" Liu Ming, who was only younger than Liu Peng, reacted the fastest and immediately answered Liu Peng's question.

"I, I am the same as the second brother." Liu Tian, ​​the youngest, still doesn't understand what happened. He just followed the second brother Liu Ming and imitated the sentence, with an innocent expression on his face.

After all, death is too far away for him at his age.

"Let's go, let's pay homage to those dead heroes on behalf of our father." Liu Peng took the initiative to replace his father Liu Yan and pay homage to the sacrificed heroes of Liujiabao in Zhonghun Mountain. "After all, this is what we should do, so that our Liujiabao can be where we are today." These heroes and martyrs who sacrificed their lives are indispensable, and no one can erase this." As he spoke, Liu Peng suddenly raised his voice, which moved the surrounding guards.

He believed that Liu Peng was worthy of being Liu Yan's son. Even if he died on the battlefield in the future, it would be worthwhile to receive such courtesy.

Only the older Fu Bo in the team understood Liu Yan's intention just now.

Liu Ming just kept observing what Liu Peng did just now, and made a pensive expression, thinking about why Liu Peng said what he just said.

There are even some things that I can't figure out, and I have already made up my mind that I must find someone to ask for clarification when I go back.

At such a young age, Liu Ming's emotional quotient, IQ, and even adaptability are higher than those of his peers.

There is even a maturity that is beyond his age.

Only Liu Tian, ​​the youngest, was riding on horseback, looking here and there, not knowing what he was thinking, and from time to time, he even let out a few silly laughs.

At first glance, I thought of something happy.

Soon, a group of people, led by Liu Peng, arrived at the cemetery with more than 300 graves.

Everyone's name is engraved on the tombstones in the cemetery. The youngest is only 16 years old.It can be seen that when he came to America at that time, he had just joined Liu Yan's command, and he came to North America, Mexico, and California in a daze.

Died in a foreign land.

I don’t even know if he still has family, so I can only erect a tombstone named Zhang Ergou to commemorate his past.

Liu Peng lit the incense candle himself, picked up the already lit red incense, separated out a part, and gave it to his younger brothers.

The leader knelt on the futon and bent down to worship, with a very sincere attitude on his face.

Liu Ming, who was kneeling next to Liu Peng, imitated the way Liu Peng worshipped.

Only the youngest Liu Tian completed the worship after being warned several times, and under the guidance of Liu Peng, inserted the incense into the incense altar.

"Shot!!"

After everyone paid their respects, Liu Peng shouted to the armed guards standing on both sides of the cemetery aisle.

bang... bang...

squeak... squeak...

The guards who were already prepared and loaded with gunpowder pellets raised their guns and fired into the sky.

A burst of gunfire sounded, startling Zhonghun Mountain, and a group of birds hovered in the air, unwilling to come down for a long time.

After doing all this, Liu Peng stood in the cemetery for a long time with a solemn expression. Looking at the tombstones in front of him, a trace of sadness and excitement emerged in his heart.

"What you haven't seen, I will make it happen."

Liu Peng swore secretly.

Then he bowed three times in the direction of the tombstone. After bowing, he led everyone and left the cemetery.

Only the black gunpowder scattered on the ground and the burning incense candles proved what had just happened.

On the way back, Liu Ming looked at the back of Liu Peng, the elder brother who was riding at the front of the team, with eyes full of curiosity and admiration.

In his opinion, everything about his brother Liu Peng is an example for him to learn and follow.

He will also be the big brother Liu Peng in the future, such a person! !

The returning team was walking on the flat stone road. From time to time, farmers working in the fields and craftsmen from nearby small workshops poked their heads and looked in their direction.

To these people, Liu Peng showed his best smile and showed these fort residents the style of the eldest son of the fort owner.

Even after everything Liu Peng did today was spread to Liu Yan's ears by someone who was interested.

Liu Yan just said happily.

"My son loves me!!"
