Synopsis: When Jiu-Er/Kloc-0 was 9 years old, he had to marry Li Datou, who was over 50 years old, and opened a shochu workshop in Lipo on 18. According to the rural regulations, the bride should be thrown by a sedan chair, but no matter how the sedan chair bearers throw it, Jiu-Er never said a word. /kloc-in the 8th century, after Jiu-Er came to Lipu, he fell in love with Yu Zhankao. Soon, Li Datou died, and those guys didn't want to do it. Jiu-Er persuaded these people to set up a shochu workshop. Bandits robbed Jiu-Er at gunpoint, and Uncle Lohan and his buddies pooled their money to redeem Jiu-Er. But when I saw Jiu-Er's messy hair, I was very angry. I ran to find the Bald Third Artillery and put a kitchen knife around his neck until the Bald Third Artillery made sure that Jiu-Er didn't move. I didn't stop until I stayed up late. I peed in the newly brewed sorghum wine. I didn't expect kaoliang liquor to taste particularly good, so Jiu-Er named it Shi Lihong. When Jiu-Er's son was 9 years old, the Japanese came to Qingshakou, burning and looting. Jiu-Er took out the eighteen-mile red brewed by Uncle Lohan who was killed by Japanese devils and gave it to everyone. Everyone went to fight the japs in high spirits. Jiu-Er chose cooked food to reward Yu Zhan for cooking them, but was killed by a machine gun on a Japanese military vehicle. Angry Yu Zhankao and everyone walked to the Japanese military vehicle with cupping and Lei Chong. After the dust, Yu Zhan took his son by the hand and trudged to Jiu-Er's body. During the solar eclipse, Jiu-Er's son sang a nursery rhyme: "Mom, go southwest, the road is wide, Captain Bao."
