Chapter Forty-Seven: Turning Away from Darkness to Light
Lu Yulin entered the big cave where he had been, and Ma Shoushan was sitting on a tiger skin chair in the middle, with Jie Zai and several other bandits standing beside him.
"It's been a long time." Lu Yulin clasped his fists with both hands and saluted Ma Shoushan.
"It turned out to be Camp Commander Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Ma Shoushan also saluted Lu Yulin with a fist.
"The big boss still remembers me, it's really a good memory." Lu Yulin didn't expect Ma Shoushan to remember him so clearly.
"I can't remember ordinary people, but with skills and courage like Battalion Commander Lu, I will never forget Ma Shoushan for the rest of my life." Ma Shoushan still remembers Lu Yulin's resolute expression when he was in danger and his athletic hands who raised their hands to shoot their hats.
"Thank you, big boss, for the lift." Lu Yulin smiled slightly.
"Camp Commander Lu brought a lot of canned beef last time, and now that taste makes people drool, I wonder what I brought today?" Jie Zai stood aside, playing with the gun, and glanced at Lu Yulin.
Lu Yulin spread his hands: "Don't talk about you, even me, when I think of the canned beef in our house, I swallow my saliva, but unfortunately, even if I want to send it now, I can't send it, since the Japanese entered Guangzhou, the canning factory has been suspended, and now I canned it is gone." ”
"Fuck, these hateful Japanese, where are they suffering." As soon as Jie Zai heard that he would never be able to eat such delicious canned food again, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Yes, in the words of the second master, since the Japanese invaded our land, the Chinese people have been living in dire straits, not to mention canned food, not even food, not even their lives are guaranteed, the Japanese devils burn, kill and loot everywhere, do all kinds of evil, and even treat us Chinese as experiments, vivisection, and bacteriological experiments, while we, the defenseless people, can only watch our relatives being killed, their homes burned, and they are uprooted and displaced."
"We also had several brothers and their families killed by the Japanese." Jie Zai said this, his fist creaking.
"The hatred of killing one's father and mother, the hatred of destroying the country and destroying the species, as long as it is a bloody man, he can't sit idly by and let it be slaughtered. Brothers of Jiulong Gorge, do you say? ”
Lu Yulin was impassioned, which made these bandits all excited, and they all nodded yes.
"What is the purpose of Battalion Commander Lu coming to me today?" Ma Shoushan looked at the bandits below who were all instigated by Lu Yulin, and he felt that this person was indeed powerful, and he could stir up the bandit nest in Jiulong Gorge in just a few words.
"Then I'll get straight to the point, big boss, I know that you are a bloody man, you must not want to see your compatriots suffer, and you will definitely help the poor. Last time I was in Jiulong Gorge, I had already experienced the great master's divine martial arts, and the big master's ability was general, taking into account the overall situation, and I Lu admired someone very much. “
Being admired by the people he admires undoubtedly makes Ma Shoushan feel that his face is bright.
"Therefore, I came today in the hope that the big boss can lead the brothers in Jiulongxia to fight devils together." Lu Yulin told Ma Shoushan the purpose of the trip openly and honestly.
When Jie Zai heard this, he slapped his thigh: "Okay, I have long wanted to beat these dogs hard to avenge the dead brothers." Big brother, you can say something. ”
After Ma Shoushan listened to Lu Yulin's words, his heart was surging, he Ma Shoushan was originally a jealous and hateful, chivalrous and righteous person, but because his younger brother was torn up by the wicked, he killed the wicked in a fit of anger, and then he was wanted by the government and had to fall into the grass. For many years, he has been entrenched in the area of Jiulong Gorge and made a living by looting and plundering money. Although he was majestic and made the government and the people talk about it, what he did made the neighbors of Siye jealous, hated, and spurned. Although occasionally he will have the idea of being kind, he always feels that if the grass falls one day, he will be a coward for life. I'm afraid this stain will not be washed away for a lifetime. Now that Lu Yulin has come to Zhao'an and asked him to lead his brothers to fight the Japanese devils and serve the country, then he and Ma Shoushan will have a chance to re-whitewash. But he still had some concerns, after all, the brothers who had followed him for so many years could not let them go down the mountain rashly.
After being silent for a moment, Ma Shoushan raised his head and asked, "As far as we Jiulongxia are concerned, there are more than 100 people, more than 100 guns, and we are fighting hard with the Japanese, but I am afraid that it will be an egg hitting a stone - it is vulnerable." ”
"Big boss, don't say a hundred people, a hundred guns, that is, one person, one gun, even without a gun, as long as everyone has this conviction and courage, we will not be slaves of the country, not to mention, the whole of China Chinese are carrying out anti-Japanese activities in various places, big bosses, you are by no means fighting alone, our Huibao anti-Japanese guerrillas are an anti-Japanese armed force, we can twist into a rope, make the anti-Japanese forces stronger."
"You mean, let's join the anti-Japanese guerrillas?" Ma Shoushan suddenly stood up from his chair.
"Yes, our team is currently active in this area, and has become a very effective new force to eliminate the Japanese invaders, and we hope that the big bosses can also join the torrent of resistance against Japan, jointly defend the homeland and defend the country, and drive the Japanese invaders out of China."
"I know who you are, a few days ago, I saw a righteous man pull a grenade and die with a few devils, this kind of spirit, I admire it in my heart." The situation where Uncle Zhou pulled the grenade and died with the enemy still makes Ma Shoushan vividly remember.
"The righteous man who died is my comrade-in-arms." Lu Yulin knew that Ma Shoushan was talking about Uncle Zhou.
"But we are bandits, bandits, can you accept us people?" Ma Shoushan is not worry-free.
"As long as it is sincere in resisting Japan, we welcome it, and we must unite all forces to complete the great cause of resisting Japan."
"Okay." Lu Yulin's words made Ma Shoushan finally dispel his concerns, he patted the tiger skin chair and stood up from his seat: "I, Ma Shoushan, decided to surrender to the anti-Japanese guerrillas and fight the devil to the end." ”
"It's not about surrendering, it's about working together to resist foreign aggression, and we will be comrades in a trench in the future." Lu Yulin held Ma Shoushan's hands tightly.
"This is great, since the Japanese came, our territory has been more and more squeezed, and the more aggrieved we become, the brothers have long since stopped wanting to be bandits, and they all want to go out and live like gentlemen. Now that we have troops, we can do a big job. Jie Zai squeezed his two hands and rattled.
"Okay, big boss, let's go down the mountain now and join the guerrillas."
Lu Yulin finally persuaded Ma Shoushan and added another force to the anti-Japanese team.
"Brother Lu, I, Ma Shoushan, have never served anyone, but today, I believe that you are my brother, if you don't dislike it, you and I will worship you, how about it?"
"Thanks to the weight, I, Lu Yulin, am willing to marry Jin Lan with Brother Ma."
"Good! Come, bring wine. ”
Soon, a bandit brought a jar of wine. poured two large bowls of wine for Ma Shoushan and Lu Yulin.
Ma Shoushan pulled out the dagger from his waist, cut his fingers, let the blood drip into the two bowls, and then handed the dagger to Lu Yulin. Lu Yulin took the dagger and cut his fingers as well, letting the blood drip into the two bowls, and then the two of them picked up the bowls and drank them all. After drinking, they threw the bowl to the ground together.
"Brother, from now on, we will be brothers in life and death, sharing blessings and hardships."
"Life and death together, in the same boat." Lu Yulin and Ma Shoushan clasped each other tightly with one hand, and then raised them high.
"Okay, brethren, the guys and get down the hill." Ma Shoushan roared in the sky.
Yu Rong, who was guarding the Guanyin Temple, anxiously looked at the watch in her hand, the time was passing minute by minute, but the young master had not yet gone down the mountain, would he be in danger? Just when Yurong had no owner, she heard footsteps coming from the mountain, and she hurriedly hid to the side.
"Yurong, where are you?" Yu Lin looked around.
"Young master, are you alright?" Yurong ran out from behind the bushes.
"It's okay, I'm not very good. Let me introduce you to you, this is the big boss, my sworn brother, Ma Shoushan, this is the second master, called Jie Zai, and this is the Yurong girl. ”
"I didn't expect that there are female soldiers in your team?" Jie Zai was very surprised when he saw Yurong.
"Anti-Japanese does not distinguish between men and women, since ancient times, women have not allowed their eyebrows, Hua Mulan, Liang Hongyu, and Mu Guiying are not all women?" Yurong did not show weakness: "When it comes to anti-Japanese consciousness, I am no worse than you old men." ”
Jie Zai was choked by Yu Rong and touched the back of his head: "This girl's mouth is too powerful." ”
"The second master, after you arrive in the army, you have to change your gangsterism, and we should be called comrades in the future."
"Okay, okay, I'll change, I'll change, Comrade Yulin, Comrade Yurong." Jie Tsai touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Yurong, you go to the gorge first, see if Mingfeng and they have arrived, and I and the big boss will arrive later."
"Hmm. I'll go. ”
Yurong jumped down the mountain.
As soon as I arrived at the mouth of the gorge, I saw Xu Mingfeng and Shuxian coming over with a small team. Yu Rong hurriedly waved at Shuxian.
"Sister Shuxian."
"Yurong. How about it, Yulin is fine. Shuxian asked eagerly.
"It's okay, the young master is still worshipping the big master." Yurong raised her head and replied proudly.
"Really? So, Yulin has persuaded Ma Shoushan to fight against Japan together? Xu Mingfeng was very pleasantly surprised.
"Hmm." Yu Rong nodded vigorously: "As soon as our young master comes out, he will level the world." ”
"Yurong, you're exaggerating again." Shuxian tapped Yurong's head with her hand.
Soon, Yu Lin and Ma Shoushan came to the mouth of the gorge. Xu Mingfeng hurriedly stepped forward and shook Ma Shoushan's hand.
"The big boss can judge the situation and put the country and the nation first, and join us in the anti-Japanese team, and I welcome you on behalf of the Huibao anti-Japanese guerrillas."
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Captain Xu, my hundreds of people and hundreds of guns are under your command, as long as it's a devil, I have nothing to say about Ma Shoushan."
"Well, brethren, from now on we will all be one family. Let's go back to the camp to rest. ”
"Okay, brothers, let's go with Captain Xu." Jie Tsai beckoned to the brothers behind him.
The brothers in Jiulongxia happily followed Xu Mingfeng and others to Huiyang.
