Back on the mountain, the Cao gang leader greeted them. Ask them how they are? Captain Liu said that it would be good if he wasn't killed by the devil.

Xiao Lin was unhappy when he heard this: "Captain Liu, how are you talking?" Didn't my pole brother kill a devil with three punches? It's really a long devil who destroys his ambition. ”

"I didn't see it, I just heard from you along the way." Captain Liu said.

Lu Gang said: "It's not a big deal, isn't it just a devil?" At that time, I told them all to be finished, but I don't know why, we were there so well, how did the devil find out? ”

"I remember." Lao Yang suddenly said: "Basin, a basin must have made the devil suspicious, and then went to find the missing devil, and when he was gone, he came to us." ”

"Or did those patrolling devils see our horses?" Lu Gang also said.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Yang and Brother Pole are right, I think it should be, there are only these two possibilities." Kobayashi blended in.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, just come back safely." Lao Yang said.

Xiao Lin asked, "Teacher Yang, when are we going again?" ”

Lu Gang asked Xiaolin what else to do? Kobayashi said to go scouting. "Scouting what? I know in my heart that there are only seventy or eighty devils there. Kobayashi asked him how he knew. Lu Gang said that he saw it behind him on the horse. Lao Yang smiled and said, "Your estimate is not accurate. Have you thought about anyone else? For example, those who are engaged in cooking, communication, clerical, such as being an official, have you ever thought about this? I don't think it's the number you estimated, and I don't believe it if there are more than a hundred people. ”

"That's fine, just these people? Lao Yang, just wait for it to get dark and we'll go in. Captain Liu patted the earthen gun on his waist and said, "We are not afraid that we will not win by fighting devils, so many brothers are not eating." "He hasn't fought a big battle since he was founded, and besides, after beating the devil, maybe he can catch a beautiful short gun, like Lu Gang and them, with a lot of spirit stuck in his waist.

"No, I can't. Even if they only have the people Lu Gang said, or even less, they can't do it, not fighting an unprepared war is the principle of our New Fourth Army's operations, who knows if they have fortifications there? Also, I tell you, don't take these devils too lightly, their weapons and equipment are dozens of times better than ours. Lao Yang disagreed.

"Then go again." Lu Gang said.

"We're not going, Captain Liu, didn't you say you have an uncle there? Go and ask your people if there are any people who are familiar with or live in that Caijia Village? Lao Yang said to Captain Liu.

When Gang Master Cao heard this, he said, "Old Yang, don't ask, I can go with Captain Liu." ”

"Well, in two days, you will set off." Lao Yang told them what they needed to grasp and what they needed to pay attention to.

On the day when Gang Leader Cao and Captain Liu were about to leave, the dog and the cow cub came to find Lao Yang.

They said that they would also go, because they all had relatives there, and they also said that going to that village was as familiar as going to their own home, and even the trees and grass on the banks of the river were afraid that they would recognize them, and they all spoke in the local dialect, and the main thing was that once the devil asked, there were relatives to testify.

Lao Yang looked at them, thought about it, and agreed, but he had to pretend to be natural like a relative, and it was not appropriate for such a few big men to go together.

Lu Gang said at this time: "Teacher Yang, I don't think it's appropriate for Captain Liu to go. ”

Lao Yang asked why?

Lu Gang said that Captain Liu had been there, and he was afraid that the devil would recognize him.

Captain Liu said that the devil was not killed?

Lu Gang said that he was not sure.

Xiao Lin said: "I won't come back to life, I looked at that little devil's nose, ears, and mouth were bleeding." ”

"Okay, I agree with Lu Gang's suggestion, Captain Liu should not go, just in case, Cao Gang Leader will lead the team to go with the cow cubs and the dog. What's the name of this? Lao Yang said with a smile.

Everyone took their leave in laughter, and the Cao gang leader walked down the mountain with the cows and dogs, this time not letting them ride horses, and it is estimated that it will take less than a week to go back and forth on the road.

After Lao Yang sent them away, he said to Captain Liu: "A team can't fight with devils without good discipline and excellent skills." The devil is very vicious, I think it's good to do this, gather your team and the people brought by the Cao gang leader, it is still called the self-defense force, you are the captain, and the Cao gang leader is the deputy captain. How about starting military training today, with Lu Gang and Xiaolin as instructors? ”

Captain Liu said happily: "Of course it's good. What about you, you don't do anything? Just have a casual meal? ”

"Our teacher Yang will be the political commissar." Lu Gang said with a smile.

"Commissar? What does a commissar do? Can you lead a team? Which official is bigger, political commissar or captain? Captain Liu asked.

Lao Yang, they smiled. Lao Yang said: "Our New Fourth Army stresses the equality of officers and soldiers and sits on an equal footing. ”

"Captain Liu, tell you, the political commissar is in charge of this." Lu Gang pointed to his head and said.

Captain Liu didn't understand, Xiao Lin added: "It's about ideological work, if you make a mistake, you can take care of it, and you can take care of our lives, you know." ”

Captain Liu smiled as if he understood, and told Lao Yang that he was going to gather people for military training, so he wouldn't accompany him.

Lao Yang stopped him and said, "Slow down, don't worry, take these two boys with you." ”

In this way, I spent every day in training. The effect is okay, like a decent team. Lao Yang went to see it every day.

Pace, gun wielding, aiming, climbing, lying down, fighting, everything was practiced vigorously under the command of Lu Gang and Xiaolin. Especially the slogan that Lu Gang shouted every time before leading them to practice: "Kill all the devils." "It was very exciting and exciting for all the fighters.

That's what Lao Yang wants. He also praised the quality of the people led by Captain Liu from time to time. Captain Liu couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

In the evening, he walked with Lu Gang and Xiaolin, hoping that the Cao Gang Leader and them would come back soon. Sometimes as he spoke, Lu Gang remembered the past events and people again.

Remembering the sacrificed comrades.

I miss Lu Wei who left.

I miss my parents.

I longed to return to my hometown in the land of beautiful lakes.

Standing on the top of Qingxiu Mountain in the dark night and looking at their hometown, Lu Gang and Xiaolin were full of emotion, and the two teenagers stood there straight without saying a word, letting the north wind sweep their faces.

With such a mood, Lu Gang didn't sleep all night, and he decided that when the Cao Gang Master and them came back, he must go home with Xiaolin to have a look.

While they were training, they were waiting for news from the Cao Gang Master.

On the eighth day, when the genius was bright, Lu Gang got up and went to a flat land deep in the forest on the mountain and began to practice. Ever since he met Master, he has not changed this habit. Even if you have a cold, you can sweat and take a cool shower to refresh.

The sun has come out, and as soon as the winter sun comes out, people feel extraordinarily warm. It's been a few days here, and this is the first time Lu Gang has seen the sun rise, his mood is much better, his heart is very excited, and the moves he is practicing are becoming more and more vigorous.

"Brother Pole, where are you? Teacher Yang is looking for you. This is Kobayashi's voice.

Lu Gang agreed to Xiao Lin's shout after finishing the last action.

Xiao Lin came over, panting and panting, and he said that Teacher Yang was looking for him and asked Lu Gang to hurry up.

Lao Yang called them over because he wanted Lu Gang and Xiao Lin to go to Caijia Village to inquire about the situation of the Cao Gang Leader. Lao Yang couldn't sit still, he was worried about the Cao Gang Master, there was no trace of them at this time, and it stands to reason that they should also come back, I don't know what is going on with them? Lao Yang asked Lu Gang and Xiaolin to take a look or pick them up.

Lu Gang and Xiao Lin happily agreed. The two took out their horses and rode to bid farewell to Lao Yang, and then ran down the mountain.

"Brother Pole, guess what, Gang Master Cao, are they on the way back?" Kobayashi asked.

"Does it make sense to ask? Who knows where they are? Maybe it's true. Lu Gang said.

"I think Teacher Yang is also a little unable to sit still, it's been so many days, they haven't come back yet, it's no wonder if I'm not worried. Alas, Brother Pole, I forgot to bring a gun. Kobayashi exclaimed.

"Pig braincase." Lu Gang restrained the horse and scolded Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin wanted to turn around and get it, but Lu Gang said: "What else to take, and it will delay time, go." With a hand, he continued to run forward.

Xiao Lin had no choice but to follow Lu Gang and catch up with him.

"Brother Pole, are you running so fast? It's icy, and the road is slippery. Xiao Lin reminded Lu Gang: "Teacher Yang wants us to come out, not to save people, anyway, this is the way, if they complete the task and go back, maybe they can meet the Cao gang leader." ”

"That's right." Lu Gang slowed the horse. He said, "Xiaolin, when are we going back to our hometown?" ”

Xiao Lin heard him mention his hometown, and his emotions also became excited: "Brother Pole, I have long wanted to go back, you say, I will follow you when I go back." ”

"Then you have to wait for Mr. Yang's consent before you can leave." Lu Gang sighed softly as he spoke, and said, "It would be nice if Sister Wei was here, let's go back to see my father and mother together." ”

"Brother Pole, I think so too." Kobayashi said.

Lu Gang turned his head and looked at Xiao Lin for a while, seeing that Xiao Lin was a little inexplicable, he said, "Brother Pole, what are you looking at me like this?" Am I wrong? ”

"You're not wrong, who says you're wrong? Is. I ask you, you like my sister, why don't you chase it? Did Brother Geng make you scared? Lu Gang asked with a smile.

Xiao Lin said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Pole, didn't you tell me?" If you want me not to have any thoughts about your sister, and now you say that you want me to chase your sister, are you laughing at me? ”

He didn't know what Lu Gang meant by saying this now, and he didn't dare to easily say that he still loved Lu Wei, not because Brother Geng sacrificed, he had such an idea, that is, when Brother Geng was still there, he still had the shadow of Lu Wei in his heart, and there was still an indescribable love in his heart.

"I laugh at you? What do you have to be funny about? Hahaha, I know, you just don't dare to fight with Brother Geng, do you? Lu Gang asked.

"That's not what it means, Brother Pole, what your sister likes is Brother Geng, since the tragedy in her hometown, she and Brother Geng went to Chongqing, she only has Brother Geng in her heart. Don't you see it? Xiao Lin asked Lu Gangdao.

"I see. Xiaolin, to be honest, I am relieved to hand over Sister Wei to Brother Geng, alas, but what I didn't expect was that he sacrificed and I also know that you have always liked my sister, I know in my heart that I just don't say it, my sister and Brother Geng are good, of course I am happy for my sister, someone cares about her, I will save my heart and kill the devil wholeheartedly. Lu Gang said easily, but Xiao Lin could hear that there was a hint of regret in his tone.

Xiao Lin persuaded Lu Gang: "Brother Pole, don't be too sad. I think Sister Wei will definitely find a good person in the army. She is beautiful, simple, energetic, and she will be happy. ”

"You really know how to talk, isn't that really what you're talking about? You really don't want her, don't want to like her? I believe you. Tell you, Xiaolin, if you go back to the army, when you see Sister Wei again, don't pretend to be with me. ”

Xiao Lin was secretly happy when he heard this, but he also expressed his worries: "Brother Pole, didn't you object to me getting along with her before?" Why is it so generous today. ”

Lu Gang said: "Xiaolin, you are blessed. That's right, I used to oppose you and my sister being good, but before the past, before the devil, I wanted to take my sister out to the world, leave my hometown and go to the provincial capital, this is also my father's wish, but the devil is here, you can't put the previous things back now, now is the present, the past is the past, these are two different things, we brothers came out together, fight devils and kill devils together, didn't say, brother, you have to live well. After saying that, he clamped his legs, shouted loudly, "Ride", and after leaving a string of laughter, he rode away on his horse.

Listening to Lu Gang's words, Xiao Lin really felt unexpected, but his face was already as bright as the winter sun above his head.
