The field hospital was located in a very secluded ravine, surrounded by lofty mountains and dense forests, and the reconnaissance planes of the US imperialists did not dare to fly too low, and the top of each cave was covered with some large tree branches to cover it. Mu Yan walked and talked in the mountains and forests with Yizhang's arm, Yizhang briefly narrated the events that had happened in the Liu family compound over the years to Mu Yan, Yizhang mainly wanted to learn about Liu Kuizhang from Mu Yan, after all, Mu Yan defected to Wang Bingqian and Liu Kuizhang's troops when he participated in the revolution.

"Auntie, Liu Kuizhang is now the number one party and government leader in Huang County, what do you think of him?"

"When I followed Zhang Shibao to join the anti-Japanese team, Wang Bingqian was the commander of the Bohai detachment, and Liu Kuizhang was the political commissar, but I had a short contact with them, that is, less than three months, I was transferred to the Jiaodong Military Region, left Huang County, first to Haiyang and then to Linyi. During that time, I had a good impression of Liu Kuizhang, he was particularly good at mobilizing the masses and could speak well, but later I heard that there were traitors in the Bohai detachment, and most of the leaders of the detachment such as Wang Bingqian were killed, and Liu Kuizhang seemed to have made a review of the military region. Why, he has now collapsed the Liu Mansion, what will he do to our Liu family compound? ”

"Liu Kuizhang is like you said, he is very good at talking and coming to things, especially good at drilling camps, to tell the truth, he is really good to our Liu family compound, whether it is to my father or uncle is very respectful, especially after the land reform when the family composition is demarcated, he made a final decision to classify our Liu family compound as a poor peasant, otherwise, I am a problem to be a soldier, but he is ruthless to his own uncle Liu Wenhua, to the death, to encourage the villagers to criticize him, the county party committee not only raided his home, divided his land, Even Shang Zhang's mother-in-law, Zhang Sanyan, was brought to the county seat by him, and I heard that the two are now mixed together. Although he took special care of our Liu family compound, but my father did not receive his affection, in the month I joined the army, Liu Kuizhang sent a working group to Shuangliu Village to guide the recruitment work, in fact, to criticize Liu Wenhua, the leader of the team was too much for Liu Wenhua, was kicked by my father twice, and ran back to the county with people without a fart, if it were not for my father's secret protection and help, Liu Wenhua would have been killed by Liu Kuizhang. The people in the village followed Liu Kuizhang on the surface, and secretly said everything. Let me see, this Liu Kuizhang is a wolf in human skin! People support the Communist Party in front of them, but they do some shady things behind the scenes! ”

"Yizhang, the lawsuit between Liu Kuizhang and his father Liu Wenxia and Liu Wenhua back then was a confused case, don't talk about you and me, even your father is the patriarch, and I can't tell the merits, but Liu Kuizhang violently pursued Zhang Sanyan I know that Liu Kuizhang was down-and-out at that time, his family was surrounded by walls and debts, of course Zhang Lu would not agree to marry Sanyan to him, but Zhang Lu married Sanyan to Liu Kuizhang's uncle Liu Wenhua as a little wife, it can be said that Liu Wenhua inadvertently became Liu Kuizhang's rival in love, Liu Kuizhang left Shuangliu Village in a negative mood, but he made a mistake but embarked on the road of revolution, Liu Kuizhang is a ghost or a human, with the washing of the years, he will sooner or later reveal his original form. Yizhang, let's talk about you, less than three months after joining the army, I was promoted, and I became a company commander, and I think Commander Wu is very important to you, and my aunt is really proud of you! ”

"Auntie, you know, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, dreaming that one day I can make contributions on the battlefield like our ancestor Liu Gaohuang, revitalize the Liu family compound, and make it prosperous, and it is not in vain to come to the world in this life, originally when I was fifteen years old, I also had the opportunity to run away from home and participate in the revolution like you did, to tell you the truth, there have been several times when I really left with someone, but I didn't get out of Liushui Township, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"My mother, when Lizhang just went to the Northeast not long ago, there was no news, my mother has been all day tea and dinner without thinking, washing her face with tears, I think if I don't say goodbye again, wouldn't I want my mother's life, I asked myself at the time, even if I Liu Yizhang can make contributions in the future to seal his wife and son, what is the use of sacrificing his mother's fame? This time I was able to go to Korea to participate in the war, one is that the life and death of Lizhang has some eyebrows, and the possibility of living in the world is very great, and my mother's heart is relieved a lot, and the other is that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is to protect the family and defend the country, and it is a battle for the founding of the country. I am very fortunate that at the age of eighteen, I realized my childhood dream of joining the army and became a revolutionary soldier like my aunt, and even more fortunately, I not only joined the army as I wished, but also unexpectedly became a cavalryman. I am the only cavalry in the thirteen volunteers in our Shuangliu Village, aunt, my understanding of the military is actually very simple, soldiers are born for war, always be ready to sacrifice, the battlefield is the highest honor of a soldier, like my mother is such a kind ** relatives, they do not want their children to be soldiers, because they are eager for peace, hope to live a stable day of sunrise and sunset, but it is in order to realize this good wish of the ** family, someone must be a soldier, So the military is born for peace again! ”

Yizhang's heartfelt words deeply touched Mu Yan, Yizhang's affectionate and righteous temperament is the same as that of Daddy Liu, Mu Yan stopped, took out two boiled eggs from his pocket, and asked with concern, "Yizhang, are you hungry?" Yizhang looked at Mu Yan in surprise, then looked at the egg in her hand, shook her head to show that she was not hungry, Mu Yan smiled, she said jokingly, "Yizhang, look at you stupid, you don't think your aunt is corrupt, right?" Yizhang hurriedly shook his head, Liu Muyan couldn't help but say that he stuffed the peeled eggs into Yizhang's mouth, Yizhang no longer shirked, and ate it in a big gulp, Muyan smiled and said, "Silly nephew, this is my food subsidy, I am a surgeon, and I have a lot of physical exertion every day, and the head of the corps specially approved it is also an order, I must eat two eggs a day, and if I don't eat, I will be punished." As he spoke, he stuffed the second egg into Yizhang's mouth, and Yizhang tried his best to refuse, "Auntie, you often have to operate on the wounded, so you should eat it!" Liu Muyan pretended to be angry, "Silly nephew, you don't even dare to eat an egg as a big man, where does your mother-in-law and mother look like a soldier?" Yizhang knew that his aunt was deliberately provoking him, but he still couldn't resist Mu Yan's pungency, so he had to eat the second egg too, and at this time he couldn't help but think of Wang Peng's scene of eating eggs.

"Auntie, I didn't hear clearly in the cave just now, you said that you and Wang Peng are old comrades-in-arms, what's going on?"

"We have known each other for many years, I was transferred from the Bohai Detachment of Huangxian County to the Jiaodong Military Region not long after, Wang Peng was transferred from the Southern New Fourth Army to the Jiaodong Military Region, he came with his uncle Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao was the deputy director of the Political Department of the Jiaodong Military Region at that time, Wang Peng was a guard at the time, he was three years older than me, worked together for several years, I was sent to Shanghai Medical University for further study, he followed the army to the Northeast Battlefield, he should have been reorganized into the 77th Army in the Northeast, Director Zhang Hao has been working in Sanye, After graduating from Shanghai, I returned to Sanye General Hospital, the 77th Army is now also part of a certain corps in Sanye, I entered the Korean battlefield with Wang Peng, I didn't expect the battle of Toxinli to be so miserable, Wang Peng died after another hour of delay, so you see him let Shi Ying eat half an egg, it was Shi Ying who carried him out of the pile of dead, Shi Ying is indeed his savior. By the way, Yizhang, Wang Peng just said that you also saved him, what's the matter? ”

"There is no way to save him, he and the 402nd Regiment were besieged by the American army in the plum blossoms, and I led the troops to relieve him, that's all. Auntie, you are not young anymore, my father and uncle are very worried about your life's events, are you in love with Wang Peng? Liu Muyan slapped Yizhang with one hand, and hugged the other arm tighter, she said lightly, "For so many years, he has been pursuing me, and Director Zhang Hao is also happy to see the two of us succeed, and I have always had a good impression of him, but I just don't have that strong feeling." ”

"Auntie, don't have any strong feelings?" As soon as Yizhang's words came out, he felt a little inappropriate, he suddenly thought of Wang Hui, remembered the strong feeling that pressed on Wang Hui before joining the army, his face felt panicked, Mu Yan didn't think much about it, she studied medicine, she worked as a hygienist in the army since she was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the man's body organs are very familiar, and the strong feeling she said is not the physiological aspect of Yizhang's imagination, but the spiritual comfort, she has been wandering alone these years, and can adapt to the complex external environment, that is, she feels spiritual emptiness, The loneliness and loneliness in the bones of the soul that has nowhere to be placed, Wang Peng is a southerner, after years of military training, on the surface, his temperament is rough and informal, but in fact it is very delicate, it can be said that he is meticulous, which outsiders can not observe, when Mu Yan was in the Jiaodong Military Region, every time he came to menstrual days, Wang Peng would try his best to get some brown sugar from his fellow villagers and secretly stuff it into Mu Yan's satchel, when Mu Yan was studying in Shanghai, Wang Peng was far away in North Manchuria, in the northeast, and the battles were frequent. But he still insisted on writing a long letter to Mu Yan every week, of course, the letter was not sent to Shanghai, but kept in the marching bag he carried, until a few years later in Sanye reunion, he handed over more than 100 unopened letters to Mu Yan, she was moved to tears, couldn't help but hug and kiss Wang Peng, it was also their first and only kiss, originally planned to get married in Nanjing on the National Day, this marriage plan also wrote to tell Daddy Liu, but due to the sudden outbreak of the Korean War, had to cancel the wedding and go to the battlefield again, Liu Muyan's heart longed for a stormy emotion, not Wang Peng's Jiangnan drizzle, endless and silent, she admired the kind of love and hatred of a real man who was frank and uninhibited, Yizhang was six years younger than her, and the breath from the inside to the outside of his body was the breath that Muyan had been looking for for many years and had never smelled, people are so strange, people who look like each other are not necessarily the ideal partner, looking hard, looking back, The dreamers standing in the dim lights are often close but untouchable, and Mu Yan's tears flowed inexplicably.

Yizhang looked around, this is a primeval forest that is inaccessible, if there is no war, this must be a forgotten corner of the world, the empty valley is quiet, the sound of snow fluttering and falling on the trees can be heard clearly, Yizhang saw his aunt suddenly crying, he knew that his aunt had left home since she was a child, and she was wandering in troubled times, how difficult it was, how many winds and rains she had gone through but unobstructed, he took Mu Yan into his arms, like hugging his mother, tightly wrapped his hands around, Mu Yan lay on Yizhang's shoulder, sobbing, She instantly felt that she had found a strong shoulder to rely on, a pure land where she could place her soul, and a root that she could find nowhere!

Just after noon, mist began to rise in the valley, Wu Xiangsen and his entourage rode horses to prepare to leave the field hospital, Xu Weiguo did not listen to the dissuasion and had to return to Muluyuan together, he explained loudly to Wu Xiangsen, "Commander, I was just shot in the shoulder, nothing affected, these days President Liu has to transfer me to the rear hospital, from this ravine to the rear hospital nearly a thousand miles, no injuries are also upside down." ”

Liu Muyan said majestically, "Xu Weiguo, your gunshot wound is not as simple as you think, the bullet is taken out, but the bullet has grazed your lung membranes, and further examination is needed, the conditions of our field hospital are limited, you must go to the rear hospital for pulmonary function tests, it is good to say that the lung membrane is inflamed, once there is a rupture, the mild one has difficulty breathing and transient shock, and the severe one is life-threatening, you really don't take it seriously, it seems that Wang Peng is more injured than you, but in fact, he did not hurt the vital parts, and it was only life-threatening due to excessive blood loss. Commander Wu, not only can you not approve him to return to the army, but you must also order him to be transferred to the rear hospital tonight! ”

Wu Xiangsen glared at Xu Weiguo fiercely, and said unceremoniously, "Xu Weiguo, if you mess around with Lao Tzu again, you will be imprisoned, here Dean Liu is the chief, her words are orders, and they must be carried out unconditionally!" Do you hear that? You're a sick cat. Yizhang pulled Xu Weiguo's back and reminded him to agree quickly, Xu Weiguo glanced at Yizhang, and then looked at Wu Xiangsen, feeling that there was really no way, so he could only bow his head to Liu Muyan, "Dean Liu, I just listen to you, you give me a vacation, today with the commander they will go back to Muluyuan to deal with the aftermath, no, bah, deal with the military affairs in the regiment, tomorrow before dark, you must rush back to the hospital, whatever you want." ”

"Xu Weiguo, you are making trouble unreasonably, you are now an injured person, you must take tonight's car to the rear hospital, this is an order, do you hear it? Captain Xu! Liu Muyan refused mercilessly.

Xu Weiguo shrugged his shoulders and replied reluctantly, "I heard it, chief!" He raised his uninjured hand and gave Liu Muyan a Young Pioneer salute, and everyone laughed. Yizhang and Mu Yan hugged each other and said goodbye, Xu Weiguo also wanted to hug Yizhang, but was kicked by Wu Xiangsen from the buttocks, "People are aunts and nephews, what are you?" Mu Yan didn't walk to the ward until Yizhang and they turned around the col and couldn't see the figure, so they walked to the ward in disbelief.
