Chapter 10 Each has its own plans

Tieping Mountain is a small radius of 200 miles, the strange peaks are stacked, the mountains are clustered, and there are strong beams occupying the mountain as the king since ancient times. When there are few people, they shrink into the cottage, plunder the merchants on the road, and after gathering the crowd, they pass through the state and county, like locusts crossing the border and raging! The government of all dynasties and dynasties has spent a lot of effort on the bandits in Tieping Mountain, or to clean them up, or recruit peace, but all of them have had little effect.

In the eyes of these bandits who occupy the mountain, the dangerous places in Tieping Mountain should be a good place to go.

Surrounded by mountains and basins, it looks like a tea bowl. Backed by a peak called Teapot Ridge, a waterfall winds down from the top of the mountain, which happens to store a pool of clear water in this basin shaped like a tea bowl. There is a deep pit under the pond and communicates with the Yin River underground, the water is full and does not overflow, warm in winter and cool in summer. There are fish in the water, which are no more than half a foot long, and the whole body is scaleless and has a beautiful taste.

Perhaps it is in response to the numerology of the old generation, between the mountains surrounding Chawanzhai, a slightly tortuous canyon gap has been opened, and the length is more than two miles. It is very difficult to climb the peaks on both sides of the canyon from outside the Chawanzhai, but from the inside of the Chawanzhai, you can climb to the top of the mountain on both sides of the canyon along the winding mountain road.

According to the saying handed down by the elders in Tieping Mountain, in the Great Song Dynasty, the Chawanzhai was also a peach paradise, and the people who escaped the world cultivated and were self-sufficient, but they could be regarded as living at ease.

But I don't know where a group of strongmen came from, taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind to loot the good people living in the tea bowl village, piggyback on the easy to defend and difficult terrain of the tea bowl village, and take advantage of the situation to take the tea bowl village as a strong beam nest that hides dirt and dirt.

As the days go by, the dynasties change, and the strong beams in this tea bowl village also rise and fall. When there are few people, there are twenty or thirty bandits who do evil, and when there are many people, there are seven or eight hundred bandits. Especially after the Japanese entered the Shanhaiguan, a group of routed soldiers gathered outside the tea bowl village. In three or two days, he was stunned to take more than a dozen lives to break open the canyon passage guarded by the bandits in the Chawan Village, cut melons and vegetables, and killed the original bandits in the Chawan Village cleanly, and sat on the ground under the banner of his own loyal and righteous National Salvation Army and became the king of the mountain!

It was easy to wait for another rest, and Sha Bangcui, who had already been holding back his words, finally seized the opportunity and came to Mo Tianliu's side: "Tianliu, why do you want to lead the big boss towards Chawanzhai?" There are ....... in the tea bowl village."

Reaching out and pinching Sha Bangcui's arm, Mo Tianliu squinted his eyes and looked at Sha Bangcui: "You understand, don't you?" Ding Zhuang from our Dawu Village, who doesn't know what Chawanzhai is? Who doesn't know that there are forty or fifty people in Chawanzhai who have guns, and when they go to our village to extort money and grain, their big bosses can shoot down pheasants flying in the sky with one shot? ”

was pinched by Mo Tianliu and shrank back, but Sha Bangcui reluctantly leaned over: "Then you still told the master of Li Da that there are more than ten people and three or five guns in the tea bowl village?" Still picking up people to grab the territory of Chawanzhai? ”

Glancing cautiously at the group of chestnuts resting not far away, Mo Tianliu subconsciously lowered his voice: "What Mrs. Jiang promised us - as long as the locks of the Eighth Route Army collapse, we can go back to the village to get the water he promised to water the land and the house!" Right now, they are more than a dozen people and seven or eight guns to rob the tea bowl village, is that not an egg touching a stone? When the time comes, let's take advantage of the chaos....... It takes only a day and a night to go back and forth, and after walking dozens of miles of mountain roads, you can change a large piece of good watered land and three new grass houses with large yards. ”

Hesitantly looked at the group of chestnuts resting not far away, and Sha Bangcui said with a sigh: "The truth is such a truth, but ...... We're going to die...... Not okay? I looked at the very kind appearance of this big boss, and asked his subordinates to carry the luggage for us......."

Sighing helplessly, Mo Tianliu sighed mournfully: "Mallet...... If you die in the future, you must be stupid! These people say that they are helping us carry our luggage, or are they helping one by one, so don't they just make us look like we all and have no way to run? Wrap the outside of the mouse medicine with sugar cakes, and you treat you as if someone else is treating you with good food? Where did so many good people come from in this world......."

"But I always feel ......"

"Do you want to water the ground?!"

"I want to ......."

"Then listen to me! We don't have anything in our hands, and we will definitely have to shrink back and watch them go up and fight with the people in Chawanzhai! When they're almost done, you can just follow me! ”

“...... Yes! Then I'll talk to a few of them, and then we'll run together! ”

grabbed Sha Bangcui, who wanted to find Ding Zhuang in several other Dawu villages, Mo Tianliu hurriedly shouted: "You come back for me!" The smartest man in the world has to count you! Do you still need to say this? People won't do the same? Give me an honest rest, but when you run at night, you must follow me, and those bandits have dug a lot of pits in the mountains and forests around Chawanzhai, in case you fall in, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die! ”

Nodding his head again and again in ignorance, Sha Bangcui stared at Mo Tianliu and said, "Tianliu, how did you know that those bandits in Chawanzhai dug a pit in the mountains and forests?" ”

Snorting softly from his nostrils, Mo Tianliu closed his eyes very proudly, and lazily leaned on the stone behind him: "Have you forgotten that the bandits who went back to Chawanzhai went to the village to steal food, but the village asked me to lead someone to pick it up to Chawanzhai?" Don't look at those bandits deliberately taking us around the mountains, but I have all the paths in mind! Those places where bandits avoid, the grass, trees, and stones are a little different from the places next to them, what else can it be if it is not a pit? ”

"Just gone? Tianliu, can you remember it all? ”

"You think everyone is a stupid mallet, just grow tall and not brainy? Remember, run with me, don't dare to run wrong! ”

Sitting under a big tree not far from Mo Tianliu, the chestnut group leaned against the trunk with half-closed eyes, looking like they were napping. And beside the chestnut group, Zhong Youtian, an old martial arts team member with a crossbow and a crossbow, opened a pair of very narrow eyes, and said to the chestnut group in a thin voice: "Captain, I don't think that Mo Tianliu is authentic?" When I showed us the way, I felt that he talked a lot, and he was a village oiler who just took advantage of it and didn't suffer losses. As soon as your mobilization ended this morning, he was the first to jump out to join our martial arts team? And as soon as he said the tea bowl village, I looked at the newcomers in Dawu Village and all of them were silent...... Captain, do we have to guard against it? ”

Drooping his eyelids, there was no expression on the chestnut group's face, and even his lips only squirmed lightly and chuckled: "Arita, what year did you participate in the revolution?" ”

With a somewhat surprised look, Zhong Youtian replied in a low voice: "I was rescued from the water prison of the Tusi of Daliang Mountain by the captain of the captain in Sichuan for three or five years, and I saw you join the revolutionary team after cutting the toast, and followed you through the Long March!" Captain, why have you forgotten this? ”

Still chuckling expressionlessly, Liziqun laughed in a low voice: "I have participated in the revolution in three or five years, and I have fought countless battles big and small, so how can I be considered an old comrade, right?" Why can't you even understand this little thing? ”

"Captain, do you also feel that something is wrong with this Mo Tianliu?"

"The southern Hebei region has been plagued by devils for so long, and there are bandits, bullies, and reactionary forces that know the way everywhere, where can ordinary people trust us so much when they first see us? It is precisely because of the weak foundation of the anti-Japanese masses in the southern Hebei region that the southern Hebei military sub-district sent out so many armed engineering teams to mobilize the masses at once! ”

"Then let's just crash into Chawanzhai?"

"Didn't Mo Tianliu say it? The place where we are resting is only twenty miles away from Chawanzhai, and we can arrive when the day is dark. Let's rest here for a while, and then go on the road when it's almost dark, and then it will depend on you and Meng Mancang's ability!" I said that there is a field, the mountains and forests in the southern Hebei region are not the same as the mountains and forests in western Sichuan, are you sure? ”

"No matter where the mountains and forests are, as long as there are grass, trees and living creatures, it will be difficult for me Zhong Youtian! Plus Meng Mancang....... Full warehouse, full warehouse! Come here! ”

With Zhong Youtian's soft shouting, a thin and skinny black man quickly ran to Zhong Youtian and the chestnut group and squatted down: "Captain, what is the task?" ”

Slowly opened his eyes, the group of chestnuts looked up and down at the black man squatting beside him, and reached out to pat the black man's waist: "Your three knives Meng Mancang, I'm afraid you're going to open meat tonight?!" How's it going, are the knives ready? ”

Showing a mouthful of snow-white teeth towards the chestnut group, Meng Mancang, who was thin and black, was like a black wolf about to go out hunting, and laughed silently: "The ancestors of the old Meng family have been swordsmen for six generations, and now they have participated in the revolution, so they naturally dare not abandon the swordsmanship, lest they lose people in battle, and go home so that the family can't raise their heads!" ”

Reaching out and patting Meng Mancang's skinny shoulder, Zhong Youtian laughed and teased: "Your old Meng family is a well-known swordsman on Qinfeng Road, and the craftsmanship on this knife is a housekeeping skill handed down from the ancestors, and I Zhong Youtian was in the Yi family village in western Sichuan, and he was also a good hunter with a name and a surname!" Let's compete tonight to see if your knife is fast or my crossbow is accurate. ”

Sneering with some disdain, Meng Mancang confidently patted the two short knives pinned to his waist, and then reached out and touched the long knife with his back on his back, the tip of the knife pointing upwards, and the handle of the knife revealing from the back of his waist: "One long-range attack, one close combat, this comparison can't be counted fairly at all!" But Wang An's call is also a crossbow, why don't you ....... with him?"

As if he suddenly blocked a breath on the top of his heart, Meng Mancang suddenly stopped talking, and lowered his head in silence: "Speaking of which, Wang An is also a comrade from the Yi family village in western Sichuan, fighting all the way from western Sichuan to southern Hebei, and he has fought countless battles, and he has not been defeated by dozens of injuries on his body, but I didn't expect it to be in southern Hebei........ Fold ......."

Seeing that Meng Mancang and Zhong Youtian both lowered their heads, the chestnut group sat up straight suddenly, and whispered to Meng Mancang and Zhong Youtian, who had gloomy faces: "There will be sacrifices in the revolution!" From the beginning of the Long March to the present, how many comrades around us have fallen? Those are all good comrades like our own brothers....... They have fallen, but we are still alive, so we must continue to move forward, to continue to walk the revolutionary road that they want to go on, but have no chance to go on! Tonight's battle is not only about whether our Qingle County martial arts team can find a good camp. It is even more necessary to make an appearance, so that the comrades who have newly joined the martial arts team can see our ability! Arita and Mancang, do you have confidence?! ”

Invariably straightened their waists, Meng Mancang and Zhong Youtian responded in unison: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”
