"Battlefield Life" II (Cold Wind and Moon)
In the winter of 1938, after the Japanese invasion of China for a year, Northeast China, Guangzhou, and Wuhan fell one after another.
The Nationalist Government was forced to fight, and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army turned behind the enemy's back, kicking off a protracted war; Due to the Japanese army's conspiracy to lure the people to surrender, the combat strength of the national army was greatly reduced.
Judging from the superficial form, it was the Kuomintang and the Communist Party that were jointly resisting Japan, but in fact, at the most critical and tense time, only the Communist Party and the people were struggling to support the last line of defense.
In the middle reaches of the Yellow River Basin, there is a village called Lengyue Village, where the people are all surnamed Leng and like to look at the moon; Legend has it that because the land is so cold, every winter, people will look at the moon to keep warm, hoping for a peaceful and warm peace.
The village chief of Lengyue Village is called Leng Feng, who is thirty years old this year, and although he is a young man, he has not achieved anything; Because they were married too early, their sons were already fifteen years old; was supposed to be the age to serve the country, but because he couldn't get an appointment, this was his most distressing point.
In the early morning, the cold wind pushed open the door and was ready to go out to find some work, but when he thought that the Japanese army was advancing step by step, the quiet and peaceful village chief would not be protected, and he, who was the village chief, was only left with endless sighs, so he was in no mood to do anything.
He flicked the cotton hat with his rough hand, revealing his shiny forehead and Yu Yue's brilliance, and the straight bridge of his nose was like a mountain range behind the village, igniting masculinity with anger and defending against the dangerous advance.
His bright and clear eyes rolled a few times, as if his dark face was illuminated by the moonlight, and he saw a glimmer of hope, and his mouth, which was like the opening of the Yellow River, finally closed, revealing a strange and mysterious smile.
As soon as he refreshed his mind, he retracted his thoughts, and tightened his burly figure with a cloth belt, as if he had returned to the age of eighteen; Thinking about that year, I was rejected to join the army because I got married early, and I thought that now the opportunity has finally come, how can I ignore the enemy's offense against me?
Last night's snow had not yet melted, and another round of snowflakes fell with the cold air and hit Leng Feng's face, and Leng Feng slapped it with hatred to the bone, slapping the "enemy" to death in the face with his thoughts.
He picked hard, but found that it was just a white and beautiful snowflake, which melted on the black mole on his right cheek, and after rubbing it for a long time, his face was red from the cold, and the bald piece of meat like a fried egg on his left cheek was shaking, as if to call him.
Leng Feng put down the work in his hand, it turned out that he was still holding a knife in his left hand, but he forgot what he was going to do, he used the knife as a mirror to look at his face, and smiled heroically: Then use this knife to kill devils!
The voice was slightly hoarse and low, but it resonated in the land of China: Those who violate my family and country will definitely die!
He flipped the knife in his hand, and the blade cut a blood mark in the palm of his hand, and he stained the blood towards the Yellow River, roaring with bloody angry pathos.
What a beautiful home! From then on, he was going to be devastated, and his strength alone was too weak and small, he thought about it, and couldn't hold back his tears.
He vaguely remembered that this was the first time he wept, and it happened to a thirty-year-old man, was it unseen or had it gone through vicissitudes? He put away his sadness, he didn't want to wait any longer, just this time, he had to be a real man.
He clenched the blood-stained blade of the knife and struck a gong with the handle of the knife, and the guys who usually played bands with Leng Feng woke up from their dreams: Could it be that he got a job again so early?
Zipper is the drummer of the band, he was the first to rush to the entrance of the village, and he panted with a running belt: Big brother, so early, it's alive again!
The cold wind didn't respond, just looked coldly into the distance, his body was as straight as a mountain, but his heart followed the Yellow River roaring towards the battlefield in the distance.
The zipper approached the cold wind: I said big brother, what's wrong with you? Why don't you ignore people? Is it that the sky is too frozen to freeze your mouth?
The cold wind still didn't react, and it was still a stupid force; The erhu hand in the band rushed over, and said with a smile: The eldest brother and the second brother are here! Live again so early? Let's rehearse now!
The zipper was pulled and turned to the side and whispered: Big brother is a little wrong today, he doesn't care about people, he must be to surprise us!
The blower Gudong also ran over, holding a cold sweet potato in his mouth, and muttered in his mouth in turns: I said did you eat them all? It's so early, for the first time! Is it a red thing or a white thing?
The gong hand bowed his skin and put his clothes on his head to block the wind and snow from behind, and said loudly from a distance: Of course it's a red thing, don't you see that the eldest brother has red on his hands?
Zipper hurriedly ran over to grab the knife in Leng Feng's hand, and Leng Feng dragged it tightly, like an iron-hearted fighter, vowing to pull the devil to meet Hades.
The bow skin went around to the front of the cold wind: Big brother, you're angry with me! It's all my work on weekdays, but you helped me do it, it's all my brother's fault, here, my brother has made amends to you!
Kneeling on one knee in the snow with a stiff voice, he weakly followed his heartbeat and let out an ominous omen.
The beating also followed: Big brother, all the mistakes are the fault of the brothers, we got up late, but you ...... Even if we are wrong, you shouldn't hurt yourself, right?
Knock: Big brother, at such an age, can you not play such a frivolous and slightly cruel game? I'm afraid, little brother!
The cold wind could no longer hold back the serious look on his face, and relaxed a little: You guys! I know nonsense all day long, I said that your name was not picked well, what should the erhu be called, what is the zipper of the drummer, I see that the work of the two of you will be changed from now on!
Zippers and beatings: But except for the eldest brother here, you are all-round, and our skills are very simple!
Leng Feng sighed and blew the wind and snow with his saliva: What's the use of omnipotence? You can't defend your family and the country, just a few of you have arrived?
Bowskin: Aren't there just a few of us in this band? Could it be that the eldest brother has also accepted a new apprentice?
Cold Wind: I'm talking about you! Can you still be a little conscious, haven't read the newspaper and haven't listened to the radio?
Zippers, beatings, bowskins, and goo dong all shook their heads: No! Big brother, if you have any surprises, please serve them quickly! Don't go around every time, we don't have that much to guess.
Leng Feng shook his head: I can't talk to a few of you, you don't have a big consciousness, so let's turn on my family's radio and call everyone to a meeting!
Before dawn, an urgent broadcast was made on the radio: After the Japanese army invaded China and annexed China's coastal cities, it further advanced into the Yangtze River and Yellow River Valley, and the Chinese people had reached a point where there was no way out, and everyone should unite and .......
This is the first time that the people in the village have listened to the radio, and everyone is waking up from their dreams to listen to it with relish, and suddenly hear the village chief interject: Resist Japan together! Invite all the men and women in the village to come to my house for a meeting and report if there is an emergency.
First and second, no one came, as if it was not their own business, hanging high, or as soon as they heard that the Japanese army was frightened, no one dared to move.
The zipper rubbed his hands and broke the dull atmosphere: I said big brother, our band is doing a good job, when it is booming, why did it suddenly go to fight against Japan again?
The cold wind didn't respond, just struck a match, lit a cigarette, took a puff and extinguished the pestle.
Seeing this, he helped the zipper fan the flames: yes! Big brother, the second brother is right, the Japanese army will not fight in our poor and remote place no matter how much they fight, they can fight if they want, and those rich landlords should fight well, I can't wait to 、、、、、、。
The cold wind still did not answer, this time he struck a match hard, lit the cigarette, inhaled it fiercely, and extinguished it, his eyes turned sharply, like a knife cutting his heart.
Zipper and beating instigated Bow Skin and Gollum to burn another fire, Bow Skin and Gollum were so timid that they couldn't open their mouths, they reached out to take the cigarette on the bench, and almost emboldened: Big brother, don't smoke alone! Let the brothers ...... too.
The cold wind slammed the match on the ground, kicked the cigarette case off the ground and scattered it all over the ground: What do you smoke? At such a critical moment, you know how to smoke, believe it or not, I will smoke you a few times, and you will not be aware at all.
The four brothers in the band were furious, and they threw the struck matches and smoked cigarettes on the zippers and beatings in the face.
Leng Feng turned around angrily, pointed to the bow skin and said to Gudong: Don't you two want to smoke? You go and call the villagers, I'll let you smoke enough, and now we're like scattered cigarettes, waiting to be extinguished, but we're still like a plate of loose sand, unaware that the storm is coming.
The three brothers were really angry when they saw Leng Feng this time, it can be seen that he has never been so angry, it seems that he is really moving today, so let's hurry up and move the villagers! Otherwise, I really don't know how to end up like this.
Zipper, beating, arching, and turning around timidly, but saying goodbye warmly: Big brother, you wait, before breakfast, we must invite them all, you better quickly bandage the wounds!
Seeing that the three brothers obediently went to carry out the task, Leng Feng was happy, tore off a corner of the cloth and hung his hands, picked up the cigarettes scattered on the ground like a child, and placed them neatly on the table: this one is zippered, this one is beaten, and this one is .......
In about ten minutes, all the men in the village arrived, and Leng Feng smiled when he saw this: Yes, this is like talking! Together, even if it's .......
Before Leng Feng finished speaking, an old man (cake) appeared in the crowd: Leng Feng, have you forgotten how you elected the village chief? Now it's majestic, isn't it?
Leng Feng glanced at the brothers such as Zizel: How did I explain to you, didn't I ask you to invite the strong man to come? Why are the elderly also invited?
The Zipper brothers stubbornly said: We didn't invite him, it was his old man who wanted to come.
After that, he approached the cake with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: Uncle cake, I'm sorry, it's my .......
The cake pushed the cold wind away: You don't have to follow me here, yin and yang, ghosts and demons, I haven't finished my words yet! It's not that I said you~ Cold wind, when the villagers wanted to choose you, I didn't agree, sure enough, I was worried yesterday, but today it works; You say that what is the difference between you and the devil when you do this?
Leng Feng spread his hands and turned pale: What's wrong with me? In the face of everyone's accusations, he was speechless; Looking at the zipper and waiting for the brothers to bow their heads and say nothing, he suddenly seemed to understand something.
Then the women and the children also rushed over: they kept beating the devils, but they didn't let us eat breakfast, and they smashed all the pots and pans in our house.
Leng Feng twitched his face: Is there such a thing? Who did this to you?
Cake: Humph! Who else did it? If you didn't tell them, would they dare to do that?
Women's Director (Fragrance): Village Chief, who are you referring to as a ghost? Anyway, we haven't seen how terrible the devil is, but today I witnessed your brothers committing murder to the villagers, and they all said that they were on your orders; Today, you have to give us villagers a reasonable explanation.
Cake: What else to explain! Just impeach him, forget it, the ancestors of our Lengyue Village fled here to escape the war, and finally lived a peaceful life for several lifetimes, and now let us go to fight against the Japanese, doesn't this push us into the fire pit?
Seeing that the male strong man did not react, the son of the cake (pig) stood up and raised his arms at the instigation of his father: Leng Feng stepped down and got out of Lengyue Village.
All the villagers shouted in unison: Leng Feng stepped down and got out of the ...... of Leng Yue Village.
Zippers, beatings, bowskins, and columbians all protected the cold wind: Folks, listen to me, it's not my eldest brother's fault, he didn't let us do this, we were in a hurry and messed up.
At this time, in the face of the villagers who have lost their minds, no amount of explanation is useless, just like the Yellow River bursting its banks, and it cannot be stopped.
Until the zipper, beating, arching, and clumping fell to the ground, it still did not stop the anger of its villagers; Leng Feng kicked Zizel and the other brothers towards the panicked and crowded crowd: From now on, I don't have any of your brothers, and I will no longer be the village chief of Cold Moon Village, are you satisfied now?
Pig: What? If you do something and push it away, will it be cleared? Folks, today, we must drive this local tyrant and inferior gentry out of our village; You see how much money he has been greedy for after being the village chief for so many years, his house is the best in our village! also sent his son to a private martial arts school, and we are all in dire straits! The child can't even afford to eat, what kind of fart school do they go to?
Leng Feng: It's too far-fetched for you to say that, this money is earned by my own craft, my ancestors have been in this land for generations, if you want to drive me out of the village, then you might as well call me to die! With that, he put the knife on his neck.
The cold wind looks at the moon and the moon is hazy
The Heat are heart-to-heart
The stars are bewildered
When will the hearts of the people be scattered?
There is love in the heart, but no one understands
The world is entertained in dreams
When to put down the knife in your hand
Who knows the grievances and hatreds
The sunset returns to the west to dissipate the residual heat
The end of the world is a lonely guest
The Yellow River roars and roars
Tears and blood are intertwined with hatred
