Chapter 1: Early Spring (Yachi)

There has never been a time in my life. Zhang Shouling's thinking was as confused as it is now. For a while, I thought that the lieutenant colonel who my brother had exchanged his life for his life could not be easily left behind. For a while, I was afraid that my younger brother would really offend some upper-class figure in the Kuomintang. Confused and retaliated. For a while, I thought about taking my brother back to some place that others didn't know about and hiding, so that he could spend his life in peace. For a while, I was afraid of delaying my brother's future. And the aroma of roasted whole lamb and stewed fish. And he rolled and kept digging into his nostrils. Let his attention drift back and forth between reality and imagination. It's hard to concentrate even for a moment.

"Anyway. We've got to get him out of here first." When the transparent grease starts to drip down the sheep's back onto the charcoal fire. Zhang Shouling finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind." A place where even military salaries have to be earned by trading. What can be the future? No way. Fight to be hated by the third child for a lifetime. Wait for that redbeard to come. I'll have to make it clear to him in person. Our third son is not yet an adult. He can't make his own decisions. I'm the one who is my brother. I had been ordered by my father to take him home."

As a patriarch who stood up early to help his father support the portal. Zhang Shouling knew very well in his heart that his younger brother had a stubborn temper that went all the way to the black. So I don't want to talk too much nonsense with Zhang Songling. Prepare to go directly to the top commander of the Lamagou guerrillas, Redbeard. Tell each other about your attitude." Even if he is unwilling to let the little third son leave. As soon as the two of us had a stiff quarrel. The third child has no reason to help outsiders speak. If Redbeard makes another offense, punch me twice. Even if the third child doesn't want to leave. They had to follow me."

Come to think of it. A sneer slowly welled up on the corner of his mouth. Grab the spice packet that you put on the beach. Started to take the initiative to help my brother sprinkle chili powder on the meat. The red paprika is charcoal-fired. Immediately a puff of green smoke rose from the slump. With the meaty bastard in the air. More and more hooked people salivate.

"Almost. Almost." Zhao Tianlong jumped up from the fish pot. Draw the dagger. Quickly cut a cut on the sheep's back. While inspecting the meat inside. While twitching his nose, he said, "It's all right. It's just a little thinner. No way. Sheep in spring. No fat. Fatso. You bring me the stone chips I just washed. The two of us are ready to cut the meat. I figured out. It's time for the RED team, too."

"Hmm. The palace is not far from here. I guess it's going to be soon." Zhang Songling stood up. He said yes and looked around.

The voice did not fall. Sure enough, a few horses galloped towards this direction. A big black horse running at the front. There was a thin little old man waving vigorously at Zhang Songling. Little fat man. I heard that your eldest brother is coming for you... Have you bought enough wine? Do you want me to bring two more jars?"

"That's enough. Enough is enough." Zhang Songling waved at the other party very familiarly. The wine has long been bought. The meat is also grilled. I'm waiting for you to eat."

"What are you waiting for? When it's baked, you eat it first. Just leave me a bone." The old man jumped off the horse with a very neat figure disproportionate to his age. Striding meteor towards the charcoal fire. While walking. While enthusiastically extending his hands to Zhang Shouling. This is Captain Zhang's brother. Welcome. Welcome.."

"Brother. This is our Captain Wang. Captain Wang Hong. Red beard. Captain Wang. This is my brother." Zhang Songling hurriedly pulled his brother. Quickly introduce both parties.

"Excuse me. Excuse me." You don't need to be introduced by your own brother. Zhang Shouling also knew that the person who came must be the famous red beard. Stride forward. Shake hands with each other.

Very skinny. The strength of the hands is also very average. If you don't have any mental preparation beforehand. It is difficult for Zhang Shouling to put this thin and thin old man in front of him. It's associated with the legendary redbeard who can make half of the steppe earthquake when he stomps his feet. This made him interested in the fact that he had succeeded in taking his brother away from the prairie. A little more confidence. Secretly said to himself, "When I finish the first bowl of wine. I mentioned it to him in public. Let's see what reason he can come up with to prevaricate me."

"It's not like. Not like. Not at all." How could Redbeard guess the twists and turns in Zhang Shouling's heart. While looking each other up and down. He shook his head with a smile. No wonder Xiao Zheng and they almost caught you as a spy. Not beat around the bush. You and the little fat man really don't look the same. Don't look closely. I don't even see that it's my brother."

"Isn't it? The eldest brother is white and clean. The little fat man was as black as if it had been smoked." The other two guerrillas who followed Redbeard also laughed and shook their heads.

They don't mention. Zhang Shouling himself really didn't pay much attention to it. He looked back at his brother again. Sure enough, I feel that Zhang Songling's appearance is too different from the appearance before leaving home. Not only is his complexion surprisingly dark. There is also a heroic spirit in the eyebrows and eyes. Your shoulders are half a foot wider than your own. He is also more than three inches taller than himself. Compared with. As an elder brother, he seems weak and white. It's like a reader who doesn't know anything about the world.

"Like. It's still very similar. It's Xiaobao that a few of them are careless. I don't think about it at all." I'm afraid my brother can't stand Redbeard's jokes. Zhang Songling took the initiative to help solve the siege." Let's all sit down. The meat will be old if it is roasted again."

Talking. I first found a clean stone and arranged for my brother to sit down. Then pull out a Mongolian knife from your waist. Walk to the charcoal fire and help Iruyunlong cut the meat.

"The little guy actually tried to take care of me! Scold. I've been traveling north and south for so many years. What a big scene I haven't experienced.." Zhang Shouling was amused by his younger brother's delicate actions and shook his head slightly. But I still feel warm and coaxing. It's as if there's a small hand stove on my chest. I was emotional. Zhang Songling had already put a piece of roasted lamb back meat on the washed stone chips and handed it over. It's as thick as three fingers. More than half a foot long. The gold shines with oil. Braving the fog. All at once he smoked his eyes and warmed up.

"This time, I can see that the two brothers are here."" yes? Good things must not be cheap to outsiders." The partisans laughed loudly." Protest "Zhang Songling gave the best piece of mutton to his brother. Zhang Songling didn't fight back. Continue to divide the meat among the guys. Everyone was given a piece in front of them. before putting down the knife. Pick up the porcelain bowl that has already been filled with wine." Today......"

I didn't wait for the words to be finished. It has been preemptively interrupted by Zhang Shouling." The third child of our family is on the grassland these days. Thank you for taking care of you. This bowl of wine. I'll do it first."

"Big brother is polite." Redbeard, Zhao Tianlong, and several other guerrillas present raised their wine bowls one after another. Greetings to Zhang Shouling.

A bowl of wine quickly bottomed out. Zhang Shouling ate a few bites of mutton. The next toast began to brew in my heart. Although this meal was Zhao Tianlong's treat. But the initiative . He had to hold it firmly in his hands. Otherwise. It's hard to find an opportunity to find a way to pick out your attitude with Redbeard. Take your younger brother to calmly get out of the big "fire pit" of the guerrillas".

"There is." A flash of inspiration flashed in my head. He picked up a second bowl of wine." Listen to the third child. Last year, when he was chased by little devils and cornered. It was Master Hong who saved him with his brothers. Da En didn't dare to say thank you. I'm an older brother. One more bowl of salute to everyone."

Say it. Pick up the second bowl of wine. It's all over again.

"Big brother is polite. It's really so polite. We really don't need to say these kind words between us. If it weren't for Captain Zhang. We were already killed by the little devils with poison gas bombs." Redbeard, Zhao Tianlong and others raised their wine bowls one after another. Accompanied by another round of drinking. And then with a little bit of wine. Naturally, it tells how Zhang Songling relied on a rifle last year. dragged the heroic deeds of the little devil crusade team for two or three days. Although this is not the first time I have told outsiders. But he still spoke with emotion. Thrilling.

Parents in the world. There is not a single child who does not want to hear others praise their children. What's more, these words are from the mouths of rare heroes such as Redbeard and Iruyun Dragon. Zhang Shouling listened and listened. The blood all over the body began to boil. Look back at your brother. His eyes were full of pride.

My brother actually saved Redbeard. Saved Irumo Dragon. Saved the entire Lama ditch guerrillas. My brother actually left two cars of little devils busy by himself. The six gods have no master. He has such a skill. I can't go anywhere in the world.. Even if it's with the **.......... Yikes. What was I thinking. In a place where birds don't. He has the ability again. And what kind of movement can be tossed.'

Biting the tip of his tongue hard. Zhang Shouling forced himself to turn his mind back to the "serious" place. Look down and look again. Most of the mutton on the stone flakes has been eaten. Unconsciously. The third bowl of wine was also drunk early.

Some of the guerrillas had already diligently poured him a fourth bowl of wine. while persuading him to drink more. While talking about Zhang Songling's other deeds, he talked about it vividly. You don't know yet. Let's Captain Zhang's marksmanship. That's absolutely not to say. Last year, I beat Lao Maozi that time. I'm right behind his ass. More than 100 meters away. The other party was lying on his stomach behind the corpse. There's a crooked handle in front of me. Our Captain Zhang poked out his gun from the shell crater. Ping Pong, Ping Pong. Only two robbed ......."

"He's lucky. Blindfolded." Zhang Shouling was humble for his younger brother. While gulping down a drink. He could tell. His brother is very popular among the guerrillas. Not only was Redbeard appreciated. The other brothers were also kind to their younger brother. Very convinced.' If I directly said that I would take the third child away. It is estimated that Redbeard is reluctant even if he is reluctant. They won't turn their faces on the spot. But....... But the third child will inevitably complain about me in the future. Izumo Ryu and the other brothers probably felt the same way. I'm a selfish person. is not worthy of being Zhang Songling's big brother at all. Hiss. How to put it mildly. Can you guys not hurt the peace.......

Searching the intestines and scraping the belly. He found that some things were easy to think about. It's really hard to do. Hard.
