Four-four

In the twenty-sixth generation of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling took over the throne and the world was in turmoil, killing and usurping, and rebelling every year. Emperor Ling ascended the throne at the age of twelve, the Manchu Dynasty was a traitor, and Dong Zhuo was abolished in the twenty-second year. Emperor Xian changed the Emperor Ling, the princes of the world rebelled again, Sun Jian seized the jade seal, the heroes of the world were scattered, Wang Yunding planned to sacrifice Diao Chan, Dong Zhuocai died, Li urged Guo Yan to make chaos again, Chang'an Sikou was destroyed, the traitorous male Cao Cao stood next to him, the emperor took turns, Xu Tian shot the deer and sighed, killed the queen, beheaded the ambush, and did not count a daughter, thirty-three years Cao Pi usurped, and the poor emperor was broken.

The strategy to ambush Brigade Commander Feng has been called calling dogs to eat since the gestation stage.

Every family at Tianmen loves to raise dogs, and in addition to the caretaker, there is a convenience that is not available elsewhere. When the child grows up day by day, as soon as his belly swells, he will take out his buttocks and squat on the ground. At this time, adults will call out to their dogs, and if there are no adults nearby, children who are squatting on the ground less than two feet high will bark a few times. The dogs at the gate of heaven could understand it, and they ran over and guarded them like arrows, licking those on the ground and sticking to their buttocks. By the time the children get up from the ground, everything is clean except for the dog's belly, and there is no need for adults to worry about it. Recalling what happened when he was a child, Hang Jiufeng felt that not to mention the tiles and slivers used by the poor, even the straw paper used by the rich could not compare to the soft dog tongue. This strategy was thought up by Dong Chongli, so everyone said that Brigade Commander Feng didn't eat the shit, and was almost killed by Dong Chongli.

During this period of unprecedented firepower, the situation of the independent brigade was not good.

The first person to realize that there was going to be a problem with the independent brigade was Chang Tianliang.

Autumn comes as soon as the dusk is particularly long, for a while, as soon as the sun is next to the western mountain, the fever begins at dawn, the symptoms come very quickly, only three sentences of time, Zhou Zhouzheng's appearance has changed, his face is red, his eyes are red, his mouth is grunting, no one can hear clearly. When he was silent, Chang Tianliang tightly covered his ears with his hands, as if there was a voice he didn't want to hear. When I had a fever for the first time, Grandma Mei had been guarding in front of her, and near midnight, a few beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Chang Tianliang's forehead, and in a blink of an eye, the sweat of Liangjin soaked her whole body. In the second half of the night, when the rooster crowed, Chang Tianliang cried out of thirst, got up and drank a large bowl of water, and then fell asleep as if nothing had happened. After making trouble twice, Grandma Mei put her heart down and said that it was okay, this is a signal of young people's physical development, after such development, Chang Tianliang will be a real adult, and it is time to get married.

After a few days of suffering, Chang Tianliang finally told the truth of the matter. Whether it was to Xue Ning, Grandma Mei, or Chang Niangniang, he said that he saw a large group of Persian cats crying around the gate of heaven. Those Persian cats did not have round eyes, pointed ears, a soft nose, and a plum-shaped mouth, but had a distinct human face, which looked somewhat familiar, much like some people who had joined the independent brigade. There is a scene where Chang Tianliang only told Chang Niangniang, but he didn't say a word in front of Grandma Mei and Xue Ning. Among the Persian cats with human faces that the blind Chang Tianliang saw, there was Chang Shouyi. When the independent brigade fought with the ** army or the self-defense forces, Chang Niangniang rarely worried, she was not the kind of woman who hoped for her husband's early death for various reasons, she knew Chang Shouyi too well, once he knew that a catastrophe was coming, he would immediately come up with all kinds of tricks to excuse himself. Because Chang Tianliang saw the ghost, Chang Niangniang was anxious for her husband, according to how many years of experience, what she saw in a dream but not a dream, especially the disaster of life and death, will soon be fulfilled.

When she was fine, Chang Niangniang deliberately walked around the street, and whenever she had the opportunity, she quietly slipped into the homes of those who had been killed by Ma Harrier, and asked them euphemistically if they had any way to send a letter to Chang Shouyi, and she had something important to say to him. Three days later, it happened to be Chang Tianliang's birthday. After Chang Niangniang arranged the affairs of the Xue family, she took a set of clothes that Xue Ning gave to Chang Tianliang, as well as a pair of cloth shoes made by herself, and went home to stay with Chang Tianliang for the night. Chang Tianliang sat at the door as always. "He came back, and he walked around the house for a long time, and he didn't leave until he heard your footsteps." Of course, Chang Niangniang understood who her son was referring to. The room was empty, and she gently counted Chang Tianliang a few words, after all, he was her biological father, so she was so suspicious. Chang Tianliang didn't fight with her, and when the time came, he slept alone. Chang Niangniang sat alone for a long time. "He's back!" Suddenly hearing Chang Tianliang, who was sleeping in the outhouse, say this, Chang Niangniang had many goosebumps on her body. The latch of the back door moved a few times, and after a while, the latch moved a few more times. When he moved again for the third time, the door latch finally slipped down, and Chang Shouyi flashed in like a shadow, and hugged Chang Niangniang to prevent her from making a sound. Chang Shouyi is hot outside, and his body is warm. Chang Niangniang, who had not finished in a cold sweat, suddenly felt like she had something to rely on, and her heart couldn't help but reach out and hug the man she hadn't been beaten for many years. Chang Shouyi, who came back to listen to the news, did not take Chang Tianliang's premonition in his heart, although Chang Niangniang corrected what Chang Tianliang saw with his own eyes to hear with his own ears, Chang Shouyi still didn't take their words seriously. After a high-pitched gasp, he rolled over and got up to find his way out.

Ever since the rumors of the dawn of the day, there have been more problems with the Independent Brigade.

The factors that cause these problems can be divided into two types: external and internal. Externally, because of the separation of Luotian County, the encirclement and suppression of the main force of the anti-national Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and its base areas did not have much impact on the independent brigade at Tianmen. After fighting the ambush of Brigade Commander Feng and surrendering more than a dozen German-made ***, Ma Harrier no longer dared to take the Self-Defense Force at every turn and chased them for thirty miles. The Independent Brigade also changed from having to move three sleeping places in one night to changing one station for two days and three days. When Sisi and Thread gave birth, Hang Tianjia could also let people bring letters from heaven to the gate of heaven, because they were worried that the sound of guns and cannons would frighten the mother, and the independent brigade did not come to the door to challenge at this time.

The external cause of the bad situation was brought by the traffic officer. Before the Independent Brigade attacked Brigade Commander Feng's ambush, Fu Langxi asked his superiors many times, hoping to give some weapons and ammunition to the Independent Brigade from the many trophies of the main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. The answers they receive are always to ask them to seek development through their own struggles. The traffic officer brought an order issued by the ***** of the Soviet Movement in the Dabie Mountains himself, which was too serious because the name signed at the end was unfamiliar. The stranger, known as Chairman Zhang, ordered that the main combatants of the Independent Brigade should immediately take all their sophisticated weapons, and under the command of Hang Tianjia, move to the junction of Henan, Hubei, and Anhui provinces, waiting for an opportunity to join forces, and be incorporated into the main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. The rest of the people still retained the name of the independent brigade, and continued to be led by Fu Langxi, Dong Chongli, and Chang Shouyi, staying where they were, and developing a guerrilla zone centered on Tianmen. Chairman Zhang, who signed the order, also asked Fu Langxi, who had stayed behind, to continue to lead the conscious people to develop the Soviet cause in the Tianmen area more prosperous through arduous struggle. For this matter, the people who were ordered to stay were all unhappy, and Hang Tianjia, who was named by his superiors to leave, did not show a trace of a smile.

"A good pumpkin is split in half, and it will rot into a bubble of stinky water in a few days. There are some people who ask Brigade Commander Feng for a gun. If Lao Tzu is allowed to lead the main force of tens of thousands of people, I will not even pay attention to Brigade Commander Feng, if you want to find it, you can find Chairman Jiang, and get some aircraft and artillery back to be considered a real skill! "Hang Tianjia dared to say everything he wanted to say when he was unhappy.

Internally, the thing that had a big impact on the Independence Brigade was that Fu Rancy's health had deteriorated. Dong Chongli, Chang Shouyi and Hang Tianjia all believe that Fu Langxi's lung disease recurred this time because the two of them spent too much time together after Mai Xianglai came to the independent brigade. Hang Jiufeng even bluntly persuaded him, Fu Langxi can't compare with him, his body is better than a dog's body, even if he is intimate with Ah Cai and Sisi day and night, he can afford it. Fu Langxi can't do it, lung disease is fire disease, and he likes women like water more than ordinary people, plus Mai Xiang has been married once, and her ability to serve men is better than that of a woman who has never changed men in her life. The dry wood is burned together, and the oil on the body can't withstand a few boils, and it will burn dry, leaving a handful of bones. Dong Chongli once said that Brigade Commander Feng's military medical team has never broken penicillin, and he can use Brigade Commander Feng's father to set up another trap to cheat medicine. The core personnel of the Independent Brigade have been working on Dong Chongli's ideas for a few days, but they still haven't come up with a way to deceive Brigade Commander Feng again.

Fu Langxi's lung disease became the heart disease of the independent brigade.

Four five

More than 200 people hid in heaven for the New Year, and suddenly got information that several ** armies, including the security brigade, retreated to the Huangzhou area on their own without being attacked.

The traffic officer, who made all the personnel of the Independence Brigade gnash their teeth, reappeared. The news he brought was very specific: the First Army fought two consecutive battles near Lu'an, wiped out four and a half regiments of the ** Army, and the first encirclement and suppression of the Soviet area was completely crushed. Subsequently, the First Army and the Fifteenth Army met in Shangnan and were newly reorganized into the Fourth Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. The order following the great news was still signed by Chairman Zhang, and although the name was familiar, the content made people feel even more chilled: The newly established special committees of the Communist Party of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui provinces clearly instructed that in addition to leaving behind a small number of guns and personnel, the rest of the strong fighters of the independent brigade should quickly carry all kinds of sophisticated weapons captured from Brigade Commander Feng and set off north to join the main force of the newly established Fourth Army. Fu Langxi specially chatted with the traffic officer several times, and learned that the new Chairman Zhang had been sent by the Central Committee of the Communist Party to the Dabie Mountains shortly after returning from the Comintern in Moscow. When Chairman Zhang was in Moscow, he met Lenin, the genius leader of the Bolsheviks. Because of this experience, which no other member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party had experience, as soon as Chairman Zhang arrived in Dabie Mountain, he hoped that others would respect him as much as Lenin had been respected. The smile on his face seemed to contain something indescribable. In formal and informal conversations, Chairman Zhang often expressed, consciously or unconsciously, the idea that the armed secession movement in the Dabie Mountains would overtake the so-called Central Red Zone on the border between Jiangxi and Hunan as soon as possible.

After arranging the traffic officer, Fu Langxi called Dong Chongli and them to his house. Only Dong Chongli applauded Chairman Zhang's decision. Dong Chongli adhered to his own ideas, rioted, and grabbed guns, just for the sake of the Soviet cause becoming more and more prosperous, and the current state of the independent brigade, not to mention that it could not defeat Brigade Commander Feng's large army, and even the Self-Defense Forces that were nailed in the eye did not have an effective way, so if the guerrilla attacks continued, it would be difficult to realize their ideals in another 50 years.

After Dong Chongli finished saying all the things he thought of, Fu Langxi named Chang Shouyi to say it. Chang Shouyi does not talk about the victory of the revolution and other major truths, but talks about practical things as soon as he opens his mouth. In the past, when the poor were mobilized to join the independent brigade, it was promised that one day they would be allowed to live a good life of envy and respect at the gate of heaven, and they were never told to go thousands of miles away to fight. The purpose of the war of the independent brigade is clear, which is to eliminate the Harriers and the Self-Defense Forces. The more Chang Shouyi said, the more angry he became, and the person who gave this kind of order must have been afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by the ** army, so he felt that the more people around him, the better. To put it bluntly, they are incompetent, so don't say that it is Chairman Zhang who gave the order, if Chairman Zhao, Chairman Qian, Chairman Sun and Chairman Li give the same order in the future, they will not be able to listen! Otherwise, not to mention the self-defense forces of the horse harriers, even the thugs who help the rich take care of their homes will be even more arrogant. Chang Shouyi also said that Hang Tianjia and Hang Jiufeng were also reluctant to go, not because they didn't like the movement warfare of the main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and they didn't sleep for a day and a night, walked more than 200 miles, and immediately went into battle, which was nothing. However, they left the gate of heaven, what should Ah Cai do? What to do with Sisi? Who will repay the hatred of the Hang family's tragic annihilation? Chang Shouyi said in a brutal manner that no one could transfer the independent brigade away from the gate of heaven, and he himself, even if he died, would be reincarnated as a tree, growing in heaven, watching every move under the mountain.

Without waiting for Fu Langxi to take the roll call, Hang Tianjia expressed his attitude: the army of the former feudal dynasty entered King Qinjing because the emperor was afraid of death and afraid that others would take his own country. Chairman Zhang sent a traffic officer to transfer the Independent Brigade to the north, probably because he had just arrived and saw the National ** Army armed to the teeth everywhere, and he was worried about his personal safety, so he issued this kind of order that did not care about the lives of the local people.

After everyone had expressed their intentions, Fu Langxi criticized Chang Shouyi and Hang Tianjia, saying that they still did not know that the key to the success of the revolution lay not in the individual and the locality, but in the organization and the overall situation. Fu Lancey did not allow others to speak again, and he decided arbitrarily to find a reliable place first, and stay to recuperate, while the rest of the people followed the traffic officer.

When the wind was high and the moon was dark, Fu Ranci personally announced that extraordinary decision: before dawn, the independent brigade launched a feint attack on the gate of heaven, and it was better to have results, but if there were no results, as long as all the self-defense forces of the harriers were driven into the chapel, it would also be a victory. The independent brigade began to move down the mountain, and Fu Langxi stood at the intersection and posed as if he was seeing everyone off. When the team was far away, he threw down the black cloth chair that he had always sat on when traveling, and followed behind the team unconsciously under the care of Hang Jiufeng and Dong Chongli, who came back to respond.

After the rooster at the gate of heaven crowed for the third time, Hang Tianjia aimed at the figure on the top of the chapel and fired the first shot decisively. The Self-Defense Forces occupying the chapel relied on a machine gun and a *** to fight a draw with an independent brigade that had both the opportunity of night and the newly captured dozen ***. The men of the independent brigade only had the bullets they had captured, and they were reluctant to run out at once. After fighting for a while, he stopped, and shouted one after another for the harrier to open the door and surrender, and promised to leave a whole corpse and hand it over to the line. The harrier doesn't talk much, and wherever there is a sound, let the machine gun sweep wherever it goes.

When it was almost dawn, the person who shouted turned into Hang Tianjia, and he asked Ma Harrier why he hid the flesh and bones of the Hang family in the chapel, and if it was not enough, he should send the town out quickly, otherwise he would set fire to the house. The harrier made the town of Wow Wow cry and showed his face in the window.

"If you want to burn it, burn it, our father and son are here!"

"The old man of a town is here! Harrier, you're one of his ass! ”

"When Yizhen speaks, you will understand who is Lao Tzu and who is fart!"

Hang Tianjia really got a lot of straw and burned the smoke all over the world. Taking advantage of the smoke, Fu Langxi and his entourage quietly entered the Ziyang Pavilion. The plan to put Fu Ranci in the Xue family to recuperate is known to only a few people.

As soon as the gun rang off, Grandma Mei held Xue Ning in her arms. When Fu Langxi came in, Xue Ning just changed her posture and still stayed by Grandma Mei's side. According to the prior agreement, Dong Chongli will first say some polite and soft words, and then Hang Jiufeng will declare the stakes. Dong Chongli lived in the Xue family, he missed those days very much, and apologized for the harm caused to the Xue family. Dong Chongli believes that Grandma Mei was able to keep herself at home before, and later saved the child born of Sisi and Thread, and she will definitely be able to ensure Fu Langxi's safety and cure Fu Langxi's illness. Dong Chongli looked out the door as he spoke, thinking that star fruit was standing there. Subsequently, Hang Jiufeng said that the practice of struggle in the past year made him understand that there are thousands of truths, only keeping the head and not keeping the head is the biggest truth, from today on, Fu Langxi is the lifeblood of the Xue family, if Fu Langxi does not have problems, the Xue family will be safe, if Fu Langxi has less hair, someone in the Xue family will lose their skin, and so on, no need to go into detail. In the end, Hang Jiufeng also used Dong Chongli's words when he was telling the story, all men in the world are the same, don't look at the usual pity and cherish the jade, you really want to destroy the flowers with your spicy hands, even if you want to use the sun as an axe and the moon as a scimitar, no one will hesitate. Hang Jiufeng couldn't finish what he wanted to say, and Grandma Mei dispelled his words with a wave of her hand.

Grandma Mei said to Xue Ning: "You are a member of the Xue family, and this matter is up to you." ”

Xue Ning pointed at Fu Langxi: "Let him stay, everyone else can leave." ”

Dong Chongli's face was flushed, and he had something to say in his heart but didn't say it.

Grandma Mei said: "Don't worry, Mr. Dong, Mr. Fu lives in the White Bird Garden." After Ah Cai left, the courtyard door was locked, and no one went in. Mr. Fu lives inside, and the lock on the outside is still gone. Daddy Xue left a lot of books before his death, and when Mr. Fu finished reading these books, he probably got better. As for daily life, we will let star fruit come to greet her, and with her relationship with Mr. Dong, she will definitely not leak the news! ”

Fu Langxi said: "In this case, let the star fruit come and meet with Mr. Dong." ”

After the star fruit came, Dong Chongli's face turned even redder. Carambola looked at Dong Chongli infatuatedly, and what she said to Grandma Mei and Fu Langxi was not what she thought at all. If Dong Chongli and star fruit hadn't met and didn't say a word, the two of them might have been in a better mood. Dong Chongli said to star fruit: "You have lost weight! Without thinking about it, the star fruit replied: "You have lost weight too!" With a few words, the star fruit cried into tears when Dong Chongli left. Dong Chongli was also so sad that he couldn't speak for a long time, half-demented, holding a handkerchief stuffed in the palm of his hand with star fruit, until he followed the team to withdraw across the West River, he didn't remember to open it to see.

The smoke in the side streets had not yet cleared, and the independent brigade that had withdrawn from the West River did not immediately return to the reckless paradise. Dong Chongli, who was standing at the head of the single-plank bridge to count the number of people, was worried that someone would take the opportunity to go home to have a look, but he did not catch up with the team, and only found out that the traffic officer was missing until the end. He asked the team to stop, and after recounting, there was still no traffic officer. In order to maintain contact with Chairman Zhang, Dong Chongli, who replaced Fu Langxi, gave an order, and the independent brigade entered the gate of heaven again at dawn. The horse harrier, who did not know the details, hurriedly returned to the chapel with the Self-Defense Force soldiers who were searching along the side streets. Dong Chongli didn't have to worry at all, and found the dead traffic officer. He was lying in the ruins of the Hang family, with a round gun hole on the back of his head.

Hang Jiufeng refused to lift the already stiff corpse, in his opinion, the traffic officer was undoubtedly a deserter, and only those who were deserters would put the back of their heads towards the muzzle of their opponents' guns. Hang Tianjia on the side started a fire without listening to it, and scolded Hang Jiufeng for talking nonsense, Ma Harrier's people hid in the small church and didn't dare to come out, is it necessary to be a deserter at such a time? Hang Tianjia affirmed that the traffic officer was a great lonely hero, since the establishment of the independent brigade, all the news from his superiors was conveyed by him, and he never missed a single thing.

Life is like a lamp, no matter the east wind, the west wind, the south wind, or the north wind, it can be extinguished. Under Hang Tianjia's order, Hang Jiufeng picked up the body of the traffic officer, ran to the right bank of the West River, dug a pit, and buried it hastily. After piling up the last handful of loess, Hang Jiufeng asked Hang Tianjia if he had noticed that the bullet hole in the back of the traffic officer's head was hit by a pistol. From the chapel to the ruins of the Hang family, the SDF bullet will hit the traffic officer unless it beats around the bush. Since this matter has nothing to do with the Self-Defense Forces, it is difficult to talk about the matter. The place where the traffic officer died was not open, and if it was a rifle, if it was a shot, there would be two holes in the front and back, and like this, only a pistol would make a hole. Hang Jiufeng further pinched his fingers, the independent brigade had four pistols, Fu Langxi and Dong Chongli never showed up, and the only ones left were Hang Tianjia and Chang Shouyi.

When Hang Jiufeng spoke, he didn't notice that Dong Chongli was standing behind him.

As soon as the independent brigade withdrew to heaven, Dong Chongli presided over a meeting. At the meeting, Chang Shouyi said: "I am a person who has clear words and never says them secretly. I will say this to Political Commissar Fu again. The death of the traffic officer may seem like a loss, but it is definitely a great thing for the independent brigade. ”

Hang Tianjia also said: "The superior ordered me to take someone to follow the traffic officer. Today, if the traffic officer dies, if I also die, won't the Independent Brigade continue to stay in heaven! ”

Hang Tianjia, whose face was pale, continued: "If the family revenge is not avenged, I will not die." I can get hurt and can't walk. ”

While speaking, Hang Tianjia had already pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger on his thigh. When the gun rang out, Hang Tianjia's lower body flew up sharply, almost kicking Dong Chongli, who was sitting opposite. The foot that didn't get the gun was in front, and the foot that was shot was behind, kicking the hanging canister on the fire pit into the fire pit, and the splashing sparks almost ignited the firewood and grass next to it. The bullet pierced Hang Tianjia's thigh, and there were holes in the upper and lower parts. Dong Chongli was very angry, and there was no other way. Mai Xiang, who became a hygienist, entered the house, took off one of Hang Tianjia's trouser legs, washed the surface of the wound with salt water, and was about to bandage it, but Hang Tianjia stopped her, reached out to ask for a chopstick, wrapped a strip of cloth soaked in salt water, stuffed it into the gun hole, and dragged it back and forth a few times as if nothing happened.

The meeting continued. Since Fu Langxi entrusted all the affairs of the Independent Brigade to Dong Chongli, and allowed Dong Chongli to act in combination with the orders of his superiors, Dong Chongli is a unique character. After the stimulation just now, Dong Chongli suddenly hesitated. The traffic officer is dead, Hang Tianjia is injured, if he really leaves heaven with all the elites of the independent brigade, if he is not careful, he will end up empty-handed. Thinking that on the way to the north, there might be a well-equipped ** army ambushed behind countless strange valleys and rivers, Dong Chongli's will wavered. Thinking that it was entirely possible for Ma Harrier to take the opportunity to turn the guerrilla zone of the Independent Brigade upside down, and that all the revolutionary capital accumulated by desperate efforts had been lost, Dong Chongli felt that even his scalp was numb.

Dong Chongli, who was hesitating, took a chopstick in his hand, inserted it into the hanging jar a few times, and turned out a piece of bacon and looked at it. "It's ready to eat!" When he said this, he already had the intention of asking for peace with everyone. Chang Shouyi reached out and grabbed the bacon on the chopsticks, chewed it violently for a while, and nodded when he was about to swallow it. Dong Chongli took a few bowls that had been prepared a long time ago, took one bowl and handed it to Hang Tianjia, and the second bowl to Chang Shouyi.

The third bowl was served, but Hang Jiufeng didn't take it: "This bowl should be given to Mai Xiang." ”

Dong Chongli thought he was worried about Ah Cai, and he couldn't say clearly: "Give Ah Cai a bowl too." ”

Hang Jiufeng shook his head: "We remember Mai Xiang, that is, we remember Political Commissar Fu who is not around!" ”

Hang Jiufeng's words made Dong Chongli ask sincerely: "Tell me, which point is more important, revolutionary feelings or revolutionary principles?" ”

Hang Jiufeng replied without thinking about it: "Of course, feelings are more important!" Without feelings, who will follow a person who has no relatives and no reason to be born and die! ”

For a while, there was no other movement by the fire pond except for the sound of eating meat and drinking soup. Dong Chongli has been staring at the beads of sweat on Hang Tianjia's head. The beads of sweat were more than twice as large as usual, and the sound could be heard whether they fell into the nearest bowl or into the fire farther away.

Hang Tianjia seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness brought by the orders of his superiors: "Eat ten more bowls of meat, and Lao Tzu will be able to fight!" ”

Taking advantage of everyone's happiness, Dong Chongli gritted his teeth and announced the decision he had just made in his heart: the independent brigade would temporarily stay in the area of heaven for activities, and let Ah Cai bring his handwritten letter and go north to find the superior organization and ask for instructions on the next move. Dong Chongli immediately wrote a report letter to Chairman Zhang, focusing on explaining the death of the traffic officer. When explaining that the traffic officer was shot in the head, Dong Chongli used the word accident to leave room for the explanation of the cause of his death. Only Chang Shouyi objected, and in his opinion, the word "accident" was clearly a snake to add to it. When the meeting dragged on until midnight, Chang Shouyi actually took out a pistol and slapped it on the table. Of course, Dong Chongli was not afraid of him, and he also took out the pistol and slapped it as well. Chang Shouyi filmed again, and Dong Chongli also followed suit. The third time he was filmed, Chang Shouyi's pistol went off and shot a bullet, which hit the teapot on the table, and the splashed water touched a piece of meat, and he felt pain wherever he felt.

Dong Chongli softened: "Your gun is too old, I won't misunderstand you." ”

Chang Shouyi also softened: "Say the accident, the accident will come." ”

In front of Chang Shouyi, Dong Chongli revised the word accident in the letter.

After sleeping until the third watch, Dong Chongli got up again and wrote another letter in his personal name. In the letter, he expressed his doubts about Chang Shouyi more fully and thoroughly.

When Ah Cai left, heaven was full of unmelted snow and ice, and everyone had non-slip straw ropes wrapped around their feet. Ah Cai took off her military uniform, changed into a woman's outfit that she hadn't worn for a long time, and put on the flower-like turban, which suddenly made the yellow leaves and withered branches of the forest glow with early spring. Dong Chongli, who was seeing off behind, was fascinated by Ah Cai's fine porcelain net bottle-like waist, and unconsciously walked two more miles of mountain roads, and also talked a few words about women with Hang Jiufeng, who also saw off Ah Cai. Dong Chongli looked forward to the victory of the Soviet cause in three to five years, and he himself was with star fruit day and night. Hang Jiufeng persuaded Dong Chongli that men and women in the world are the same, once they taste the taste of stripped naked and sleeping together, they will think of each other to die, instead of this, it is better to learn from Ah Cai and Mai Xiang, and let star fruit come to the independent brigade. Only in this way can there be no delay between the war and the woman. Without a woman by your side, no matter how many battles you win, it's like drinking boiled water. Dong Chongli shook his head, no matter what, he would not let star fruit follow him to drill the cave today, sleep in the firewood shed tomorrow, and stand like a big tree in the heavy rain the day after tomorrow all night.

"Ah Cai and Mai Xiang are forced to go to Liangshan, and there is no other way to go. Star fruit is different, her identity has not been revealed. ”

Four-six

Due to the unusual death of the traffic officer, before the time of the meeting, Dong Chongli grabbed Duan Sanguo, who was still on the watch, and asked Duan Sanguo to take advantage of the night to bring him to Xue's house. Duan Sanguo was very cooperative and didn't ask a word. At this time, Dong Chongli had completely judged that the traffic officer was killed by Chang Shouyi, and as long as Fu Langxi agreed, he would set up a military court to try Chang Shouyi after he returned. Fu Langxi immediately asked him if he had reported the matter to Chairman Zhang. Dong Chongli didn't hide it anymore, he felt that it was necessary to do so. Fu Langxi kept shaking his head, what the consequences of Dong Chongli's doing this would not be long before it would be revealed. Fu Langxi hoped that everything would be as Dong Chongli imagined, and took this opportunity to make the revolutionary ranks more pure. However! However! However! Fu Langxi said it three times in a row, but he still didn't say what he was thinking. Seeing that they were about to break up, Fu Langxi seemed to suddenly remember the past, from Chairman Zhang leaving the Comintern to the Dabie Mountains, talking about the Russian he had seen in his early years who had been sent by the Comintern to come to Wuhan and was nicknamed Ula. Over the years, Ulla's compatriots have become more and more embracing Lenin's ideas and are fond of physically destroying potential opponents, and Trotskyist supporters like Ulla will surely die when they return to Moscow. According to Francy's estimates, it is entirely possible that Chairman Zhang, who has a Comintern background, will bring back the anti-rebellion movement that is sweeping Russia, Ukraine, and the Caucasus.

Regarding Fu Langxi's worries, Dong Chongli didn't think deeply.

Dong Chongli was so pleasant. He was able to be with star fruit again, re-tasting the joy of the bed that he had been looking forward to for a long time. When they were about to break up, Carambola reluctantly said that if one day Dong Chongli no longer lived such a sneaky life, even if she still put on a drum rack and told stories every night like in the past, she would be so happy that she would die. Dong Chongli also casually said that a year earlier, star fruit was as charming as it is today, and he would not have other ideas.

On two occasions, Dong Chongli seemed to realize that Fu Langxi might want to hint at something through the Russian Ula, whom Mei's grandmother also knew, but he still didn't want to delve into it. If, in the context of the revolution, there were many more conspiracies, he felt, it would be inconceivable and unimaginable.

When it was time to connect, Francie would write a short or long letter. In the letter, he never mentioned what medicine he was taking, only that Grandma Mei's approach was not unreasonable, and it was already very good to be able to come up with a trick to cure the disease without penicillin. Each time, Dong Chongli and Chang Shouyi had to repeatedly study every word written by Fu Langxi to understand Fu Langxi's instructions to the Independent Brigade. The struggle became more and more brutal, leading an independent brigade of nearly 200 people, and Dong Chongli felt very powerless. It is a pity that Fu Lancey never writes about this, and occasionally writes something that is related to what he is looking forward to, but only to encourage everyone to study the art of struggle and show their heroic spirit, as long as they do these two things well, the independent brigade will be invincible.

At the end of the first month, there was a light snowfall. The mountains on the left and right sides of the West River are half white. The news from the bottom of the mountain made Dong Chongli and them excited: The Second Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army suddenly swung south and captured the county seat in one fell swoop. forced Ma Harrier to withdraw from the gate of heaven with all the self-defense forces, and the specific whereabouts are unknown.

This time, Fu Langxi wrote his meaning to Dong Chongli very clearly: all the combatants of the Independent Brigade must not be carried away by the victory of the main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and should not easily expose their limited strength. The more victories are fought, the more severe the blockade and encirclement of the areas occupied by the Soviet armed forces will become. The struggle will certainly be more arduous in the future, it will be more and more difficult to replenish provisions, more and more casualties will be inflicted, deserters and traitors will be inevitable, and the majority of the poor will also adopt a wait-and-see attitude when the revolutionary cause is at a low ebb, not supporting, not covering, not ventilating, and not reporting. Only early preparation can ensure that you will not be dying at that time, no matter what you do, strength is the ultimate determining factor. The letter begins and ends with a striking line: Do not confide in anyone and burn it immediately after reading. In order to attract Dong Chongli's attention, Fu Langxi deliberately drew two black lines under these two sentences, thick straight and curved.

Dong Chongli couldn't understand Fu Langxi's instructions. The independent brigade was quickly divided into two parts, one large and one small, and most of the people were led by Chang Shouyi and Hang Tianjia, who was almost healed from his wounds, to move around the county town, and with the influence of the main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, to replenish as much military supplies as possible. A small part was led by Dong Chongli and went straight to the gate of heaven. Now is a great time to strengthen the strength of the independent brigade, and we must not miss it. Dong Chongli firmly believes in this.

Dong Chongli had just gained a firm foothold at the gate of heaven, and the Second Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army had already appeared at the entrance of Xiajie. The men of the Independence Brigade had never seen so many Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and they were as happy as if the revolution had been a complete success. Dong Chongli was a little unsure, he asked Mai Xiang to invite Fu Langxi to come out and preside over the meeting of the people at Tianmen to welcome the main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Mai Xiang drank a cup of fragrant tea at Xue's house, and when it came to Fu Langxi, Grandma Mei and Xue Ling said in unison that they had never seen each other. Mai Xiang came back empty-handed and asked Dong Chongli if he had said the wrong thing just now, didn't Fu Langxi go back to Wuhan for treatment? Dong Chongli felt strange, and after dealing with Mai Xiang, he hurriedly went alone.

Fu Langxi is still in the White Sparrow Garden, he is white and fat, and his temper is much hotter. After meeting, he did not say how hard it was for Dong Chongli to lead people to guerrilla warfare everywhere, but criticized Dong Chongli for not predicting the severity of the situation enough, the main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army would not stay here for a long time, and this piece of heaven and earth had to be fought for by the independent brigade itself, which was like playing chess, and people who could not take one step and see three moves could only play wild chess, and it was not possible to break into the world. Fu Langxi estimated that Brigade Commander Feng's troops had quietly followed at this time, and perhaps they were ambushed somewhere between the county seat and the Tianmen Gate, waiting for the best time to attack. Dong Chongli was anxious, if Fu Langxi's estimate was correct, the independent brigade would be in danger. Fu Langxi didn't worry too much about this, with Chang Shouyi and Hang Tianjia here, it was difficult for Brigade Commander Feng to take advantage, not to mention that Brigade Commander Feng was staring at the main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in his eyes.

After enlightenment, Dong Chongli went to report the enemy situation without saying a word. The second division of teaching, who had planned to rest for a day at the gate of heaven, heard the wind and moved. As soon as the trumpet sounded, the brigade withdrew ten miles away.

Mai Xiang went to Ziyang Pavilion again. During the autumn harvest, I helped Xue Ning to harvest the account, but I didn't take care of it when I came back last time. Although the harvest was taken away by the harrier, Xue Ling still paid her according to the normal harvest, and the account was very detailed and took a lot of time. Grandma Mei came to urge her once after a while, asking Mai Xiang to return to the team quickly. Mai Xiang said to Xue Ning with a happy stomach, and sat there not wanting to move. Grandma Mei had to warn Mai Xiang that if she didn't leave, she would be sorry for the man who felt most sorry for her in the world. Mai Xiang heard the unusual content from these unprovoked words, and while wiping a handful of tears happily, she pulled out and walked out.

The side streets suddenly fell deserted. At some point, the single-plank bridge over the West River was demolished. Dong Chongli didn't think much about it, and without even taking off his shoes, he took the lead in jumping into the water and rushing to the right bank. As soon as the last man ran to the beach on the right bank, the machine gun of the Harrier sounded on the left bank. At the same time, from the downstream came the fierce gunfire that would only occur when the ** army launched an attack.

The last few days of February 1931 were a daily testament to Francsie's wisdom. Because of this wisdom, anyone dares to say that what Chang Tianliang sees and hears about ghosts is completely a stinky fart released by a black dog. Brigade Commander Feng personally led a regiment, plus three heavy machine-gun companies, and pursued them to the gate of heaven along the route that the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army had taught the Second Division. On the way, it was blocked by the independent brigade led by Chang Shouyi and Hang Tianjia for a long time. At the beginning of the firefight, people on both sides misunderstood. Hang Tianjia thought that he had encountered a rout, but Brigade Commander Feng, who was in a hurry, thought that he was on fire with the main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. One side hits hard, and the other side responds carefully. Fortunately, Hang Tianjia discovered the opponent's strength first and withdrew from the battlefield first. When Brigade Commander Feng figured out that it was the independent brigade that dared to attack from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, it was the independent brigade that was always circling around the gate of heaven, and the thunderous firepower he burst out could only be poured on the broken straw shoes that were thrown in the chaos. Fu Langxi's foresight saved the lives of many poor people at the gate of heaven. The poor people thought that there were so many anti-nationalist workers' and peasants' Red Army, and that the cause and good life of the Red Zone, which they had always propagated, would definitely flourish for a few years, but they did not expect that this wish would be shorter than dreaming. In the time when there was only one meal before and after, the poor people could not do anything, they did not even have time to write a few words on the wall and put up two slogans. Ma Harrier walked around the town three times with a gun in and out of town, but he couldn't find an excuse to kill. The people in the county town were not so lucky, those who exposed themselves because of joy were all killed by Brigade Commander Feng, nearly 1,000 people were beheaded and shot within three days, and more than 100 people were buried alive. When spring comes, the wild dogs around the county grow fatter than the other, and if you don't pay attention, you will be recognized as calves.

Dong Chongli, who was hiding in heaven, pondered Fu Langxi's latest letter with palpitations. Fu Langxi repeatedly praised Chang Shouyi and Hang Tianjia in the letter, with a mere 200 people, against thousands of elite ** troops, not a single one was injured, which shows that his ability to judge the situation is quite extraordinary. Fu Langxi's criticism is also very penetrating, after all, this kind of thing is like Kong Ming playing an empty city plan, it is just a small victory in a big defeat, which is not enough to teach, and of course it is not an example. Such a letter always made Chang Shouyi excited, and when he saw people, he said that he admired Fu Langxi so much. One day, when Fu Langxi recovers from his illness and re-commands the independent brigade, he must kowtow to him three times in a formal manner. Dong Chongli also felt that Fu Langxi's vision of things was like a sharp sword, and he could score three points.

The weather warmed up quickly, and within a few days of taking off the cotton clothes, I immediately put on the single clothes.

There has been no news from Ah Cai. There were new traffic officers who came a few times, but they were all passing by, and their mouths were like iron, and they couldn't hear anything. Finally, I was hoping for someone who was willing to speak, but he was only instructed to convey that Chairman Zhang, who had returned from Moscow, had changed the former Communist Special Zone Committee into a Central Branch and a Revolutionary Committee. Although Chairman Zhang is a scholar, he has a very strong temper, and once the order is issued, no one can help to talk back, and some people who have not grasped the situation have already suffered the loss of Chairman Zhang, and in less than a month, dozens of people have been dismissed or demoted. Against the background of this kind of news, Dong Chongli brought up the old matter again, the independent brigade did not go north to rendezvous according to the order, and it was not clear that a traffic officer had died in vain, which was not allowed by discipline. Chang Shouyi or not believing in evil, he asked Dong Chongli, could it be that the new Chairman Zhang has eggs with hooks? Even if there is a hooked egg, it will only make the woman afraid. Dong Chongli doesn't like to talk like this. After obtaining Fu Langxi's consent, Dong Chongli sent two detachments of 20 people each, led by Chang Shouyi and Hang Tianjia respectively, one to the northeast and the other to the northwest, to try to get in touch with Chairman Zhang. The two teams that set off together came back at a similar time. Chang Shouyi, who was heading northeast, found a newly established underground transportation station in the area of the Yanzi River, and was told that Chairman Zhang did not like the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to run and run like a rogue, and that the red armed forces in various places would soon receive new tasks. Hang Tianjia, who went to the northwest, fought three encounters in three days, and the people and guns were all there, but the bullets were exhausted, so he had to retreat.

Forty-seven

With the arrival of the summer monsoon, the county seat was conquered for the fourth time.

The Fourth Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which came from the Xinji Movement in Henan, was unprecedentedly strong, and in the blink of an eye, it wiped out a regiment of the 169th Brigade of the National ** Army defending the city. After breaking the city several times before, the county magistrate Huang, who repeatedly sought opportunities to escape, finally survived. Before the independent brigade arrived one step late, Dong Chongli led people into the city from the north gate, and before he had time to put the notice that "any deep hatred must be tried by the Soviet court before revenge" was pasted on the wall, many people in the city who had not avenged their family revenge tied up the Huang county magistrate who was captured alive, inserted the beheading mark, pushed out the south city gate, and shot them to death. Dong Chongli and the others were busy establishing a new order, and Chairman Zhang suddenly came with an order: In the next few months, the Fourth Army must go east out of Qianshan and Taihu counties in Anhui, enter Anqing, and threaten Nanjing. Chairman Zhang's order made it clear that in this strategic action, no one or thing is allowed to watch the fire from across the strait. The military generals of the Fourth Army did not fully obey Chairman Zhang's orders in the end. Dong Chongli, who attended the meeting as an observer, heard some people discussing at the meeting, Chairman Zhang was very much like the young and domineering Zhou Yu, who had just arrived, and if the main officers under his command did not listen to his orders, he was afraid that there would be something wrong with him. Commander Xu, who is good at military affairs and neglects politics, likes to listen to the words of Commander Xu of the 12th Division: "Is Chairman Zhang as young as me?" Did Chairman Zhang become a teacher at the age of eighteen? Did Chairman Zhang ever lead a team of less than 1,000 people to defeat a ** army of tens of thousands of people? Chairman Zhang came from the side of the Comintern and Stalin, and my strength is already very large, and Chairman Zhang's strength must be even greater! After the Fourth Army set out from the county seat, it no longer went east, but to the south to conquer Xishui County, turned back to the north and broke the city defense of Luotian County, and then unexpectedly turned around again to the south to capture the county seat of Guangji. The most wonderful battle was fought in Caohe Town, Qichun County, which is close to the Yangtze River, and the new Eighth Brigade of the ** Army was eaten up overnight. After the Fourth Army changed its plan, the Independent Brigade was at large in the county seat for a month, and it was not until Chairman Zhang wrote a sternly worded letter forcing the Fourth Army to retreat to the area of the Jiming River in the south of the county seat, and the Independent Brigade became busy again. At Jiminghe, the commanders of the Fourth Army also wanted to persuade Chairman Zhang not to rush them to return north, nor to abandon the large areas that had just been successfully divided by armed force. Unexpectedly, Chairman Zhang wondered if they were engaged in conspiracy, separatism, and were ready to pull the team to the Yangtze River to defect to the people.

In the face of Chairman Zhang's murderous words, the young generals of the Fourth Army did not dare to have any other ideas. When the expanding independent brigade increased to about 500 men, the Fourth Army had no choice but to embark on the return journey north. It was the young and vigorous Master Xu who took the lead in saying what was in his heart: Chairman Zhang is either only talking on paper, or he is narrow-minded. Those who should be reconciled only say the first half of the sentence: small amount is not a gentleman. The second half of the sentence: No poison is not a husband, and it has never been said by everyone.

This indescribable depression only exists in the hearts of a few. Most of them are still singing and dancing as always.

Mai Xiang didn't know this, she was walking briskly on the streets of Tianmenmen, and a young woman who had just joined the independent brigade quietly approached her from behind, and screamed violently close to her ear.

"You're a member of the Love Research Society!"

Mai Xiang jumped a few times in fright. The young woman was afraid that she would fall into the stream on the side of the street, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her. The frightened Mai Xiang wondered how she knew about the Love Research Society, and as soon as the question was about to be spoken, Mai Xiang remembered Sisi. Mai Xiang guessed accurately, and the mouth of the silk who had given birth to a child was also loosened, and she could say anything. Mai Xiang said to the young woman who had neither a military uniform nor a military cap, but only a belt tied around her waist, which showed that her body had not yet grown up: "You are like this, you really have a love research society, and you are not qualified to participate." ”

It is the day when you go to the street (note: on the street, a common saying in eastern Hubei Province, the same as the saying of rushing to the market in the northern countryside), and there are many people who come and go to the street to do small business temporarily. Groups of young women who are afraid of being deliberately collided by strange men, under the protection of the young women and sisters-in-law with children on their backs, scurry between the streets and the streets like feathered, and when they encounter interesting things, they exaggeratedly gather together and let go of their voices and laugh. Mai Xiang and the young woman's soft laughter was heard by a group of women.

"In love! Everyone at the gate of heaven is in love! ”

The cries of the street reached the single-plank bridge, and the people on the left and right sides heard it. Men and women in an unprecedented amorous atmosphere, as long as they say that the other party is from the Love Research Society, each other will be red-faced, one will have a rough breath, and the other will have a faster heartbeat. At that time, the land of the landlords on the left and right sides of the West River was confiscated, the property of the rich families was divided, and after the congress of workers, peasants and soldiers of the whole county was held, the Soviet land law and labor law were promulgated one after another, and the workers' and peasants' banks, economic communes, supply and marketing cooperatives, arsenals, quilt factories, Lenin schools, Soviet hospitals, and various night schools and literacy classes were established. The happiest thing for young men and women was the introduction of the Soviet law on marriage. Although I can recognize less than a third of the words, everyone gathers together when there is something to do, holding a pamphlet printed with the marriage law, and laughing and laughing from ear to ear, which is like really establishing a love research society.

Chang Tianliang, who didn't have long eyes, couldn't see these good situations, on the contrary, he saw a group of bloodied corpses, one of them was like Chang Shouyi, the second was like Hang Tianjia, the third was like Mai Xiang, and so on. The heartbroken Chang Tianliang had to say it to Chang Shouyi every time he had such a dream, regardless of whether he was on business or not. Chang Shouyi, who was busy, began to suspect that Chang Tianliang was infected with flower madness, he asked Chang Niangniang to get some cinnabar, soak in water for Chang Tianliang to drink, and if it didn't work, he asked someone to find a woman who was also blind, get married early, maybe the illness would be cured. Not only the three people who were dreamed of by Chang Tianliang, but also other people didn't believe it. The Soviet cause was unprecedentedly good, and even if he had the idea of living enough, he could not find a reason to become a demon and a ghost right away.

When Chang Tianliang said this, Chang Shouyi was taking advantage of the rare leisure to stand at the door of the chapel, watching Mai Xiang and a group of young women singing and playing while washing clothes next to the stream, and the topics related to love continued one after another. Later, they simply shifted their goal and asked Chang Shouyi to agree, and established the Love Research Association, which everyone had always joked about. Chang Shouyi pointed at Mai Xiang with a smile and said, as long as everyone elects Mai Xiang as the president and asks her to go back and blow a few pillow winds in front of Fu Langxi, don't say that the establishment of the Love Research Association is the establishment of the Divorce Research Society and the Remarriage Research Association, and no one dares to interfere. The young woman suddenly changed her words and called Mai Xiang the president. You call over, I call over, and for a while, the voice on the small street is not only love, but the president.

The word love spread very beautifully on the street, and several women came up to pester Mai Xiang, making her unable to get out. The women insisted that Mai Xiang tell her how she fell in love with Francie. Mai Xiang is not embarrassed, because of Fu Ranci, she has learned to behave more reservedly in front of ordinary people. Mai Xiang used the excuse of catching the sun to dry her clothes, and she didn't come out as soon as she entered the house. The women, who were excited by the meaning of love, shouted outside the door: "Mai Xiang - in love!" Love - Mai Xiang! When the star fruit heard the news, she ran out into the street, and before she could hear a word, her face became redder than a ripe peach, and before she could turn her head, she had already taken several steps back. After a while, Xue Ling also appeared, and when she heard the shout, she couldn't help but feel shy. Only Grandma Mei, who was following Xue Ning, could face them calmly with a smile: "How can anyone force someone like you, love is free, you let Mai Xiang not be free, of course she won't agree." "The women said that only Mai Xiang would fall in love at the gate of heaven, and if she didn't teach others how to fall in love, then she would be a tyrant and a bad gentleman who dominated love. Grandma Mei told them that clouds were born to float in the sky, and water was born to flow in rivers, and they were born to fall in love, such as Xue Ning, who knew love when she was only seven or eight years old. The first time she saw Liu Zimo, Xue Ling gave him the twenty-four white clouds she didn't know about as a donation. This kind of story made the women a little disappointed, and when they came back, they began to call Mai Xiang again, they had heard that Fu Langxi fell in love with Mai Xiang because he often came to the restaurant to eat. Mai Xiang didn't come out, so they drilled into the house, and before the people in the back could go in, the people in front were kicked out by Hang Jiufeng. Mai Xiang's hotel became the station of the death squad led by Hang Jiufeng, and no one was allowed to enter and leave casually. The women's interest was not dissipated, and when Mai Xiang reappeared in the side street, a woman spotted her, did not dare to shout, invited several women together, and dared to repeat the content of the previous shout.

Such a cry is very moving, even the men of their own family will not object when they hear it. The more the woman screams, the louder it gets, the more calm and peaceful the world becomes. After a few days of trouble, Mai Xiang became bold, took a few clothes and squatted by the stream, and the women came around again, and she told her about her love affair with Fu Lancey. Mai Xiang's words are very short, such things are always said from a woman's mouth, no more than a man, and it is not enough to talk about a woman for three days and three nights. Once, Fu Langxi ate oil buns in the restaurant, there was no one else in the restaurant, Fu Langxi told a story to Mai Xiang, saying that there was a very miserable woman, who was sold to someone else's house as a child daughter-in-law since she was a child, and suffered a lot, and was forced to marry just when she grew up, and soon her husband died with a whimper, and her mother-in-law said that she was a husband, and sold her to a poorer man, and then her son let the old wolf eat again. After the story is told, Fu Langxi said that there are many unfair things in the world, and the most inhumane thing for women is to be sold here and there as a thing. To this day, whenever she thinks of this story, Mai Xiang brings tears to her eyes. The more sad Mai Xiang became, the more she wanted to find out what happened to this hard-working woman. One day she couldn't help but go to the chapel to ask Fu Langxi, and Fu Langxi said that the hard-working woman was at the gate of heaven, in her family's restaurant, and it was her Maixiang. Mai Xiang was sold to her mother-in-law's house at the age of three, until she got married at the age of sixteen, and there was no day when she was not beaten and kicked by her mother-in-law, and finally survived until her mother-in-law died, and her husband began to torture her again, and she couldn't do anything else, so she pulled her ** out of anger every night. Thinking of these things, Mai Xiang cried to death, and unconsciously fell into Fu Langxi's arms. Mai Xiang came to her senses, and the first thing she heard was: "I love you!" Fu Langxi also said that he came to the gate of heaven to save Mai Xiang from the sea of suffering. Mai Xiang learned the three words I love you in front of a woman. Women have never heard such words, and their ears are hot and their cheeks are burning.

Caught up with the star fruit and walked over, and the women surrounded her to confess, did Dong Chongli say such a thing. Carambola wanted to run but couldn't run, and was in a dilemma, and Dong Chongli appeared on the side. The women were now more energetic, and they were not allowed to go. Dong Chongli thought for a while before saying: "I really haven't said this yet, in front of everyone, I'll just add a sentence - I love you, star fruit!" As soon as the words came out, the women all over the street laughed and blossomed, no longer talking about love, you rushed to me, I rushed to you, and said one after another: "I love you!" ”

Everyone was smiling, and Chang Tianliang ran to cry out: "I see dead people again!" And he said, "I don't have a fever, I'm not talking nonsense!" He was so angry that Chang Shouyi kicked him in the street, scolded him for not praying for his relatives, and cursed his relatives for dying early. Hang Tianjia stepped forward to stop Chang Shouyi, and asked Chang Tianliang to repeat the appearance of the dead man in detail with a pleasant face. The dead man Chang Tianliang said is indeed very similar to Chang Shouyi, and the other one is not much different from Hang Tianjia. Mai Xiang's appearance is too far behind, Mai Xiang has a thin figure, when opening a restaurant in the past, passing guests said that if she was a little fatter, she would definitely look good in a cheongsam. It was also because of this that Mai Xiang had always wanted an embroidered satin jacket. Everyone knows Mai Xiang, and he doesn't have the money to sew himself an embroidered satin jacket. Mai Xiang, who was seen in Chang Tianliang's dream, was wearing an embroidered satin jacket. The people present stretched out their hands one by one and tried Chang Tianliang's forehead, most of them felt that it was fine, only Mai Xiang felt that Chang Tianliang's forehead was too cold. "I'm afraid that you don't have a fever at dawn, but you have a fever - oops, it's really a fever!" As soon as a woman put her hand on Mai Xiang's forehead, she cried out.

Mai Xiang was happy, she didn't want this, and turned around and walked from Ziyang Pavilion into the White Bird Garden. Fu Lang's Tibet in the White Bird Garden was made public to Mai Xiang, and Mai Xiang went when he was free.

The latest nonsense between the Love Research Society and Chang Tianliang is her joke. Fu Langxi was a little concerned, and repeatedly asked Mai Xiang if she had embroidered satin jackets. Mai Xiang repeatedly said that she did not have this kind of clothes that she would only wear on rich women. Mai Xiang likes to say that the Love Research Society is the most, if there is such an organization, those women whose hearts are higher than the sky and whose lives are thinner than paper will have the opportunity to change their fate like themselves. Fu Rancy did not refuse, he asked Mai Xiang to wait patiently. The situation of good news and rewards for the three armies up and down is up, Mai Xiang is in a good mood, she feels that Fu Langxi is too worried.

Francis is still the political commissar of the Independent Brigade. At his suggestion, the superiors handed over the post of commander to Dong Chongli, and the post of chairman of the Soviet Union to Chang Shouyi. In the first few days of Chang Shouyi's tenure as chairman of the Soviet, Fu Langxi was so moved that his feet had already walked behind the threshold, and he was only one step away from the courtyard where the moon flowers were blooming. At that time, the Fourth Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, similar to the Yuejia Army after the great destruction of Zhuxian Town, retreated north under the strict orders of Chairman Zhang. Taking history as a mirror, it is better to be cautious before understanding Chairman Zhang's true intentions. Fu Langxi did not step out of the threshold, still hiding in the White Bird Garden, where the gate was locked and could only enter and exit from the Ziyang Pavilion.

When Mai Xiang mentioned the Love Study Society again, Fu Rancy lost his temper - he didn't even want to hear such things. Fu Langxi's weight made Dong Chongli puzzled. In the case of Fu Langxi's illness, the post of secretary of the central county party committee was appointed to someone else. For this reason, Fu Langxi wrote to Chairman Zhang that he still did not believe it when he heard others say that the body is the capital of the revolution, and it was not until he was plagued by lung disease that he realized that disease can really torture people to the point of declining will. Fu Langxi, who can eat three bowls of rice at each meal and drink chicken soup as tea, even said that he is in extremely poor health and may go to see Marx at any time. At the end of the letter, Fu Langxi raised his will, he said that he could not move, but his heart had already flown to the north like a returning geese. Among the people who can comment on Fu Langxi, only Dong Chongli still adheres to his consistent understanding of Fu Langxi: This is a rare genius politician who can lead the overall situation with great ambitions, great consciousness, and great thoughts. Dong Chongli, who is not low-spirited, sincerely admires Fu Langxi, and he admits that he is attracted by the extraordinary things in Fu Langxi.

Chairman Zhang's reply to Fu Langxi was brought by Ah Cai.

In the letter, Chairman Zhang briefly expressed his condolences to Fu Langxi, and then began to criticize certain red leaders in the Dabie Mountains, saying that they systematically and systematically attacked those who adhered to correct views. Chairman Zhang hoped that Fu Langxi would come forward at a critical moment to save the cause of armed secession of the Soviet Union from a time of crisis. Because of Chairman Zhang's letter, Ah Cai was added to the few people who learned that Fu Lang was hiding his place.

Ah Cai brought back a term that the people at the gate of heaven had never heard of: rebellion. Soon after, the "rebellion" became the most feared thing of the people at Tianmen, together with the "donkey wolf".

Back at the White Bird Garden, Ah Cai's face added an imperceptible layer of melancholy. The flowers are still blooming, but what the wind does not blow away is the strong fragrance of osmanthus from elsewhere. Everyone was waiting for Ah Cai to talk about the situation on Chairman Zhang's side, and they didn't care about Hang Jiufeng, who was looking forward to the stars and the moon, joking.

"I'm coming back from another White Bird Garden, which is in Guangshan County, Henan." Before Ah Cai, who was sneaking in plainclothes along the way, had no time to change into a military uniform, he told everyone that as soon as the Fourth Army arrived at Baique Garden, Chairman Zhang went on a killing spree, "Starting with the chief of staff of the military department, then the commander of the 12th Division, the commander of the 12th Division, the director of the Political Department, the commander and political commissar of the 30th Regiment, and the commanders of the 28th, 35th, and 36th Regiments." How good at fighting is Master Xu, he is almost as young as Jiufeng, he is about to be killed, and he also said that he should not use a gun, and save a few bullets to defend the Soviets. ”

Hang Jiufeng interrupted Ah Cai's words: "Are you saying that Chairman Zhang killed a good person by mistake?" ”

Fu Langxi interrupted Hang Jiufeng's words: "Ah Cai is close to Chairman Zhang, listen to her." ”

"Not only do people who wield guns and knives admire Master Xu, but even Chairman Zhang himself says that he is a good man. Chairman Zhang felt sorry for Master Xu more than once, regretting that he came to Dabie Mountain too late, and could not help Master Xu anymore. Ah Cai continued, "When I met Chairman Zhang, I always felt like a person. Mr. Dong, Chairman Zhang is really like you, white and pure, very bookish, from head to toe, you can't find a fierce look at all. As long as you speak, every sentence is knowledge. In the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Chairman Zhang was able to tell a great deal of truth about who was good and who was bad, and although he killed more than 2,600 cadres and fighters of the Fourth Army, everyone was more convinced of him. ”

Dong Chongli's tone was very firm: "It's right to do this, we can't let those people who have intentions outside our hearts get mixed with us and cause trouble everywhere!" ”

Chang Shouyi said even more ruthlessly: "Since it is a rebellion, it is not enough to just shoot an open gun, and if necessary, you have to move a dark knife." ”

The eyes of the two men met together. Fu Langxi coughed in time. Fu Langxi couldn't take care of these things, but he still came up with some ideas, for example, Ah Cai stayed in Henan Xinji for more than half a year, and was familiar with both the above and the following situations, so that she could fully assist Dong Chongli and Chang Shouyi in carrying out Chairman Zhang's instructions, and others would not think it was too much. Of course, in order to do these things completely in line with Chairman Zhang's wishes, there must be a new person to lead the central county party committee. Fu Langxi still said that he was struggling to survive, and if one day he could follow everyone to fight in the north and south again, he would desperately repay the care from all sides. I have heard this kind of talk a lot, and no one is surprised for a long time.

Chairman Zhang's reply aggravated Fu Langxi's condition. Mai Xiang remembers most clearly that for three days, her husband did not eat any food and drank very little water. Anyone who saw it felt that it was really uncertain whether Fu Rancy could survive this winter.

Just when everyone thought that Fu Langxi was terminally ill, a young man as white as a scholar and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses set off from Baique Garden, Guangshan County, Henan Province, and in the rolling north wind, along the road that Ah Cai had walked, came to Tianmen, and was going to the county seat to take over the post of secretary of the central county party committee and chairman of the Soviet. The young man seemed very modest, and wherever he went, his subordinates hugged him, but he insisted that others call him Comrade Cao, and whoever called him Secretary Cao or Chairman Cao would be severely criticized. At this moment, the Fourth Army has been reorganized into the Fourth Front Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and is brewing a great victory in conquering Huang'an County and completely eliminating the 17,000 ** troops stationed in the city, so as to embody Chairman Zhang's great achievements in calling for the suppression of rebellion.

Comrade Xiao Cao was accompanied by a regiment commander surnamed Guan, who led a regiment of soldiers who never left Comrade Xiao Cao and was ready to be dispatched at any time. Passing through the Heavenly Gate, all the soldiers under the head of the regiment sat on the ground on both sides of the street. Hot water and cooked food sent by the people of the Chang Shouyi Organization and sent by the people themselves were very rarely refused. Chang Shouyi didn't know that this kind of atmosphere was called murderous, and thought that the military might was like this. He retracted his smiling face into half and shouted at Comrade Xiao Cao: "The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in the world is one family, why do you have a straight face, as if there is no good person at the gate of heaven." The head of the regiment told Chang Shouyi with contempt: "Only the team personally reorganized by Chairman Zhang is qualified to be called the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army." Comrade Xiao Cao did not speak to Chang Shouyi, he stood in front of the small church, called Fu Langxi's name in a gentle manner, and asked Fu Langxi to come to see him immediately. It didn't take long for Fu Langxi to meet this frightening Comrade Cao on the side street with the support of Hang Jiufeng and Hang Tianjia. Fu Langxi's face was sallow, his hair was gray, and he didn't even dare to recognize Chang Shouyi, who had only seen him a few days ago. It was cold. Comrade Xiao Cao waved his hand, and the yellow coat captured from the hands of the ** army fluttered majestically. Several soldiers with red tassels tied to their pistols and red tassels to their broadswords stood behind them expressionlessly. Comrade Xiao Cao's face looked peaceful or peaceful, and he asked Fu Langxi to continue to recuperate, and he didn't have to worry about Chairman Zhang's orders.

Comrade Xiao Cao didn't understand very much, and clearly understood that the Bird Garden was opposite, why Fu Langxi didn't leave the gate and had to enter and exit from Ziyang Pavilion. After listening to the explanation, Comrade Xiao Cao said meaningfully: "Chairman Zhang asked me to come here to create a new situation here. Chairman Zhang has a white bird garden there, but he didn't expect there to be a white bird garden here. Comrade Xiao Cao did not criticize Fu Langxi, but only reminded him that revolutionaries who share the same gate with the exploiting class must maintain their integrity and not be warm to them because of this. He also hoped that the day when Fu Langxi recovered from his illness would be the time when he opened the gates of the White Bird Garden.

Fu Langxi walked back to the White Bird Garden tremblingly, and was washing off the yellow wax on his face with hot water, Dong Chongli walked in angrily and asked him sharply: What is the intention of doing this? Fu Langxi said calmly that he had just thought about some more questions, and if Dong Chongli did not trust him, he could report all these situations to Comrade Xiao Cao, and he obviously needed this kind of informant. Furancy said with great confidence that there was a serious problem in the areas occupied by the Soviet armed forces, and that "at such a time I have the right to find a way to save my life." ”

"At least so far, your words don't make sense." Dong Chongli was also unambiguous, "A person like Chang Shouyi who dares to shoot a black gun to assassinate a traffic officer is to suppress his rebellion and reform his life." ”

As soon as the worried Dong Chongli came out of the White Bird Garden, he was asked by Comrade Xiao Cao to talk alone. The secret letter written by Dong Chongli aroused the great attention of Chairman Zhang, and the reason why Comrade Xiao Cao was sent here was to use this place as a breakthrough point to set an example for other regions and thoroughly purge dissident elements. Comrade Xiao Cao put his arm around Dong Chongli's shoulders and said cordially that he is a person trusted by Chairman Zhang, and no matter what kind of hardships and hardships arise from now on, he must not live up to Chairman Zhang's trust.

In the evening, someone walked out of Comrade Xiaocao's camp and asked Dong Chongli to accompany him for a walk under the pretext of comparing the two white bird gardens, one north and one south. When he walked out of Xiajie and came to the left bank of the Xihe River, and seeing that there was no movement around, the man suddenly said that Comrade Xiao Cao's coming to concurrently serve as secretary of the county party committee in the capacity of director of the Political Security Bureau was entirely intentional on the part of Chairman Zhang. Chairman Zhang was already angry that his subordinate officers were holding a meeting here to challenge his authority. Whether the people killed in the army are related to this matter, no one can say, after all, no one is a roundworm in his stomach. Now it's the turn of the place, Dong Chongli must be 10,000 careful, don't believe everything, but don't be gullible. It is not wrong for Dong Chongli to write to Chairman Zhang to report on the non-revolutionary behavior of some people, but it would be too dangerous for such non-revolutionary behavior to be exploited by people with ulterior motives. The man talked to himself for a few minutes, and without waiting for Dong Chongli to react, he enthusiastically walked towards Comrade Xiao Cao, who was also walking casually.

The head of the regiment left a company at the gate of heaven and led a large army to follow Comrade Xiao Cao to the county seat. Hundreds of people walked in unison, kicking up dust much like Brigade Commander Feng's cavalry passing by.

Also left behind were four men and one woman belonging to the newly formed Political Security Bureau.

Forty-eight

The cause of the armed Soviets at the gates of heaven was soon dominated by these five men.

These people did not say anything publicly, nor did they arrest Chang Shouyi according to the secret letter written by Dong Chongli to Chairman Zhang, but the men and women who were frolicking at the gate of heaven suddenly fell silent.

They rarely mention the Political Security Bureau, and always conceited to refer to themselves as a group of five. The only woman was a little better, and once, Ah Cai found her hiding outside the back door retching, so she stepped forward to pat her on the back and made a bowl of brown sugar water for her to drink: "You look like you're pregnant!" The woman didn't answer, but said something irrelevant: "You just call me Sister Ouyang!" The extraordinarily easy-going sentence made Ah Cai very in awe of her.

When the group of five began to talk with Dong Chongli on the left bank of the West River, the sun was still on the mountain to the west, and by the end of the talk, the sun had returned to the mountain col to the east. Any attempt to listen to this all-night conversation will not materialize. The five-man team, who were adept at counter-listening, fully estimated the difficulty of the conversation, how much water to drink when thirsty, how much food to eat when hungry, and how much firewood to burn when it was cold, and then forbade anyone to enter the forbidden area they had demarcated. persuaded Dong Chongli, and the group of five met Chang Shouyi in the chapel again. Chang Shouyi was about to shake hands with the members of the five-member group, who were wearing dark military uniforms that were neither blue nor black and carrying pistols, but the leader of the five-member group, who was wearing glasses like Comrade Xiao Cao, coldly refused. After a moment of confusion, Chang Shouyi understood that something was wrong.

Before Chang Shouyi was arrested and after he was caught, he was not a pustule. When he sensed that disaster was about to happen, Chang Shouyi climbed the ladder, jumped to the bell tower, and easily seized the gun of the overwhelmed sentry. Chang Shouyi roared loudly on the top of the chapel, counting the good deeds he had done for the Soviets at the Gate of Heaven. He thought this was revenge, because he had unceremoniously reminded Comrade Xiao Cao that the Independent Brigade was also a Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Chang Shouyi's voice spread all over the gate of heaven, and Dong Chongli came out to persuade him to calm down and stop talking nonsense. Chang Shouyi didn't stop talking, but that didn't mean he wasn't calm. Those who wanted to keep the righteous were not shot. Under the stalemate, Chang Shouyi pessimistically said that he was going to jump off the roof several feet high. At this time, Chang Niangniang ran over with Chang Tianliang and cried at him into a mess of water.

Chang Shouyi hesitated: "As long as you give me a convincing reason, I will listen to you." ”

"Listen up: you shot the traffic officer sent by Chairman Zhang with a black gun!"

"If you catch a thief, you want to stolen money, and if you catch a traitor, who saw it?"

"Chairman Zhang can't hide anything from him if he sees the fire clearly!"

In the end, Chang Shouyi still walked down from the bell tower with his hands raised. He told those people who surrounded him like a fierce god that because he was lazy to eat, he had guarded the bridge in the West River for most of his life, and because he was lazy to do it, he also followed the Soviets, and finally began to understand what was the right way in life, but some guys appeared again, and they didn't want him to continue to go down. In desperation, he killed the traffic officer sent by Chairman Zhang, and he didn't want to become the egg that Chairman Zhang wanted to kill.

"Well, it's okay, I heard that the Nai He Bridge over there is a whole bridge board, and I never need to disassemble and assemble it, so I'd better be a lazy bridge keeper!"

The straw hut where Chang Shouyi is imprisoned is used to watch Poria cocos. The mountains are quiet, and in the dense woods, all the people who speak are people in a group of five, and they can't hear any other sounds. For the first two days, Chang Shouyi was hung on the roof of the shed, and the breath in his stomach could not be lifted to his throat. finally touched the ground with both feet, and then someone hit the lungs, and the breath was a little heavier, and the pain was unbearable. The members of the five-member group appeared only during interrogations, and all questions were about the future and fate of the Soviets. Although the questions are very severe, the way of asking them is not severe, and the five-person group will never be forced. "Think again!" "Think about it again!" "Think about it again!" The group of five said the most, and Chang Shouyi felt the most pressure, these are the three sentences.

Chang Shouyi was afraid that the group of five would leave, and as soon as they left, his suffering began. The people who tortured him did not speak, and when they were tired, they went out to change for someone else, and when they were tired, they changed again. The next afternoon, Chang Shouyi, who was beaten to shreds all over his body, no longer had the strength to carry it, and he begged again and again, and he was willing to say whatever they wanted to know. The men still didn't speak. Chang Shouyi had to spoil himself, and after a while he said that he was bought by Ma Harrier and became the second captain of the county self-defense force; After a while, he said that he was a spy sent in by Brigade Commander Feng; After a while, he said that he was nothing, and because he was not satisfied with the chaotic command from above, he was bent on finding an opportunity to assassinate Chairman Zhang. Having said all this, those people still tortured him as always, and every time it seemed to kill him, in fact they always left just the right breath for him to breathe.

Chang Shouyi was afraid that he would have nothing to say anymore, as long as he wanted to get it, he took it out and said: "I organized a reactionary organization called the Love Research Association." ”

As soon as these words came out, the person who tortured him immediately summoned a group of five: "What is there to study in love, is it a disguise?" ”

Chang Shouyi, who had been beaten a few times, seized the time to take a few breaths: "They shouldn't have hit me on the head, I can't remember some things." ”

"We're here to help you remember—do you know the Third Party?"

"It's not clear that this kind of thing can still be the chairman of the Soviet?"

"Tell me, what's good and bad about the third party?"

"The good thing is to abandon the Kuomintang, but the bad thing is to leave the Communist Party behind."

"So the Love Research Society must be a secret organization under the command of someone?"

"That's it, it's beating gongs and drums, and it's someone else who sings."

"Whether it's a third party or not, you have to think about it, but don't talk nonsense."

"Yes, yes, the third party, the third party like a black dog's egg!"

Chang Shouyi squeezed out of his blood-blistering lungs and said slowly, the number two and number three people under him were Hang Tianjia and Mai Xiang. Looking at the happy and puzzled expressions of the five-person team, he simply said that dozens of people, in addition to the death squad, the first squadron and the second squadron, which are the most effective in the independent brigade, as well as Ah Cai, were all recorded in the notebook of the five-person team.

At noon next to the winter solstice, a group of five people surrounded Comrade Xiao Cao, as well as Dong Chongli and Head Guan, and appeared at the door of the straw hut together. Comrade Xiao Cao asked Chang Shouyi if he had any changes or additions to what he had said earlier, and if not, he could be allowed to meet Chang Niangniang and Chang Tianliang. Chang Shouyi immediately changed his words, saying that what he said before was because he was afraid of being beaten, and he couldn't make it up. Comrade Xiao Cao was still so personable and not annoyed or angry, clearly pointed out a list of names, and asked him why he made it up like this and why he didn't make it up like this.

Chang Shouyi came to his senses, and said Hang Tianjia as soon as he opened his mouth: "I don't understand why I said Hang Tianjia first, of course it wasn't because he shot himself." Your people are gone, I just came up with it, the Hang family is all good men, as long as I tell him the reason clearly in the future, there will be no endless retribution. Besides, the size of the Love Research Society is also an organization, and it always has a bit of prestige at the head. The reason why I want to say Hang Tianjia is completely out of admiration for him. Mai Xiang is the second person I think of. To be honest, even if she marries Fu Rancy, I haven't let go of my liking for her in my heart. Think about it, Political Commissar Fu has been an adjutant in Wuhan for so many years, being a **, being a little wife, what kind of beautiful woman has never been seen, but in the end he was so fascinated by Mai Xiang that he almost lost his life, which shows that Mai Xiang is the most capable among women. That's not the root cause of me pulling Mai Xiang in. No matter who confesses, you must first think about your own life and death. Chang Shouyi was immersed in the memories of the past, and he said that Mai Xiang owed him the same favor, and that Mai Xiang's ex-husband had not been killed by Ma Harrier's men at that time. When Mai Xiang was washing the quilt in the West River, he was entangled by several defeated soldiers, and it was he who was bold enough to pull Mai Xiang to the opposite bank, and threw the bridge in the middle into the water. Because it was winter, the rout was afraid of the cold and did not go into the water to chase after them. When he returned home, Chang Shouyi went down into the water again and carried Mai Xiang across the river. For this, Mai Xiang said that she would thank Chang Shouyi, but did nothing. "So I thought, if you really kill Mai Xiang, she won't be embarrassed to bother me. You must also be wondering why I didn't say Francie, it's very simple. I said Mai Xiang first, I can't say Fu Langxi anymore, I don't do this kind of thing. "Whether it's a husband and wife, or a family, Chang Shouyi definitely only says one person. He asked the team of five to go through the list. If he had said Fu Rancy first, he would definitely not have said Mai Xiang. It's a pity that Mai Xiang was said to be in front of him. Chang Shouyi also believes that Hang Jiufeng was born to be Ma Harrier's opponent. In the past, the Hang family, the eldest and the second, the third and the fourth were all there, and they could only fight a draw with the horse harrier. Only Hang Jiufeng, in terms of cunning, heart, and fierceness, Ma Harrier can't compare to him. He's also a master of dog skin. Ma Harrier was the sworn enemy of the Soviets, and Chang Shouyi was the chairman of the Soviets, so he had to leave a way back for the Soviet cause. "Hang Jiufeng can't say it, so I'll say Ah Cai. If she wasn't like that, no one from the Love Research Society would believe her! To tell you the truth, the Love Research Society is fake, but the name of the Love Research Society is real, it was taken by Mr. Dong! Only he could come up with such an elegant thing. At that time, some people said that when they heard the name, they felt that it had something to do with the Three Youth League. What a good crime, isn't it? Those who make revolutionaries can only study life and death. To be honest, I don't like it when everyone comes to study love. When the joke is that it is okay, Dong Chongli, as the deputy political commissar, did not grasp the principles in this matter. Open and closed, temperament or demeanor, romantic or chic, in these matters, can we compare with those who live in the city? This is to increase the ambition of others and extinguish one's own prestige. ”

Just mentioned Dong Chongli, Chang Shouyi suddenly sold Guanzi. Comrade Xiao Cao asked him with a smile if he was afraid that no one would tell him in the future.

"Look at it, it's all bleeding. I've never coughed in my life. Political Commissar Fu, who loves to cough, laughed at me, saying that pigs cough, only cows don't cough. Chang Shouyi spit out a bubble of bloody phlegm and continued, "Xiao Cao, Xiao Cao, you are wrong again. You said that I was afraid that no one would say that the book was wrong, there was only one person at the door all day, and it didn't matter if I heard about the book, it didn't matter if I didn't hear about the book, this person was me. If my son hadn't been blind, I wouldn't have let a woman call the shots and send him to learn to tell a story. According to my heart, the first person to confess is Mr. Dong. In the past, when Mr. Dong was telling stories in the chapel, he would make up some lazy people's storytelling hats every once in a while to tell everyone, and I was already angry in my heart. I didn't confess to him because the women in my family simply regarded Mr. Dong's storytelling as half a life, in case I couldn't pass the rebellion, I was afraid that she would not go to Lao Tzu's grave to burn incense in the future, and endured more than 100 people from beginning to end, but I still didn't say anything. ”

The words of the righteous people are fluttering in the wind. Comrade Xiao Cao finally showed his true face: "Don't think that you can deceive everyone by laying down these ecstasy arrays. Others can't see clearly, but Chairman Zhang can see it clearly, and I can see it clearly. If you pull Dong Chongli in, I won't believe it! And Ah Cai! They are very loyal to Chairman Zhang, you don't want to kill people with a knife, I won't be fooled, do foolish things for relatives and enemies! ”

The repetition of Chang Shouyi did not save himself, nor could he pull others back from the mountain col full of ghosts. In the middle of the night when the moon was white and the wind was clear, Chang Shouyi, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a chaotic sound of footsteps. Before anyone could call, he stood up. After listening to the death sentence, watching Hang Jiufeng, who had drunk wine, carrying a knife, appeared lightly in front of the grass shed, Chang Shouyi didn't care about chest pain and lung pain, he saved up his strength, and shouted more fiercely than a half-dead pig: "Change someone!" Change to one with less strength and a blunt knife. Hang Jiufeng's knife is too fast, the strength is too great, I don't want to die so quickly. Slash me a few more times, and one more slash, and I'll live one more time. I really don't want to die, and I also want to listen to Mr. Dong's storytelling. As long as I don't die, let me listen to Comrade Xiaocao's report all day long, and follow you all day long to suppress the rebellion, and I am willing. ”

Hang Jiufeng didn't go to Chang Shouyi, he didn't like to kill a person who was afraid of death: "Listen to you, do you want to come at dawn?" His hands were born like a woman, not to mention the human neck, even if he cut off the neck of a chicken with plucked hair, it would take three days and three nights. ”

There was some moonlight in the cracks of the woods, and Chang Shouyi said to the person who appeared at the door of the hut with all kinds of regret: "The son who has no eyes can see more clearly than the old man who has eyes." It's a pity that I didn't listen to him, and thirty-six plans are high. The man who came in followed his words: "This is called Huangchao killing 8 million, and it is impossible to escape the robbery." "The mountain road in the dim is very difficult to walk, and Chang Shouyi fell so much that his forehead was broken. The rugged mountain road did not continue as long as the people hoped for, and soon broke off in the fire-filled col. Looking at the crooked moth eyebrow moon hanging in the high sky, Chang Shouyi once again hoped that the butcher knife that sent him on the road was as unreachable as the moon. Chang Shouyi's dream finally came true, and the person who executed him was not Hang Jiufeng. Chang Shouyi had never seen this man, only knew that he was a northerner who spoke like a cattle dealer. There were two big fires burning in the col, and Chang Shouyi saw the location of the execution, so he didn't need to be pushed or pulled by others and took the initiative to walk over.

Chang Shouyi, who was not cut down with three knives, frightened the northerners.

"I know that you are a good person, and it is a good thing to die early and live early."

The northerners, who had only forgotten to use their knives, were dragged aside by the five-man group of the Overseer. Instead, it was Hang Jiufeng, who had just killed Hang Tianjia with his own hands.

"Jiufeng, come on, do me a favor." The three knives cut at the neck made Chang Shouyi feel painful. Hang Jiufeng didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, he had to endure it for two more times.

"I can't even take it for a moment. I'll tell you the truth, I killed your second father! ”

"Don't make the law exciting, it doesn't work."

"Believe it or not, Mayor Ma was also killed by me, and it has nothing to do with your Hang family."

"Really? You're not lying? ”

"At this time, there is a use for telling lies."

"You guy guarding the bridge, you finally became an official, but it's a pity that your ass is not hot."

Hang Jiufeng felt that there was blood gushing all over his body, and before the words fell, Chang Shouyi fell to the ground with a bang. Hang Lifeng still risked the blade hitting the stone and turning into jagged teeth, and made another stab at the ground.

Forty-nine

In the middle of the night when the moth moon bent best after the winter solstice, the iron sand cannon that had been idle since it was taken back from the horse harrier roared. The next morning, there were rumors from the gate of heaven that Hang Tianjia was bombarded by the iron sand cannon. is very different from what many people imagine, Hang Tianjia's death does not mark the decline of the well-known heroic history of the Hang family, but replaces the name of the people in Tianmen who have been afraid of hearing for many years: a group of five.

Catching Hang Tianjia, tying Hang Tianjia, and a rope are all done by people selected by a team of five. Because he was worried that the company left behind before would not be able to control an independent brigade with more than a dozen ***, the head of the regiment brought another company from the county town. Under the cover of several machine guns, he stood tall and loudly ordered the independent brigade that was practicing battle formations on the river beach, set up its guns in squads, and assemble with bare hands. As the commander-in-chief of the exercise, he watched the five-person team come over with bad intentions, and without waiting for their signal, he took the initiative to take off the pistol pinned to his waist, handed it upside down, and then unloaded the magazine of ***, and also handed it over upside down. Then he turned around and made a gesture to the people of the independent brigade, and said unhurriedly: "Carrying a gun and dancing a knife is to protect the family and avenge, not to protect the family and not to take revenge, just to eat military salary, even if you give me a bucket-thick cannon, it's not interesting!" "The five-person team used the method of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and did not touch the first squadron and the second squadron that Chang Shouyi confessed for the time being.

Hang Tianjia, whose limbs were tied, was also locked up in a grass hut on Xiaoxi Mountain.

The fragrant wood buried in the clearing between the trees has been cellared, and there is no need to worry that the poria cocos that have grown for a few years will be spoiled by wild boars, and the new fragrant wood will not begin to cellar until spring. The cattle scattered on the hill were itchy, so they leaned on the hut and rubbed it around, squeezing out one of the three corners of the hut. On top of the broken grass shed, there is the heavily guarded Guan Lao Ye Temple.

Without waiting for interrogation, Hang Tianjia told all about the situation in which he shot and injured himself. During the formal interrogation, Hang Tianjia still did not change a word: the traffic officer was ordered to transfer the independent brigade to the north, which was no different from the feudal dynasty's army entering Beijing Qinwang, in the final analysis, the emperor was afraid of death, afraid that others would take his own country. As for the so-called secret participation in the third party and the establishment of a love research association with Chang Shouyi and others that the five-member group was eager to know about, he denied it all. The five-member team did not torture Hang Tianjia, and they believed like Dong Chongli that the last thing a tough guy in the world was afraid was to be tough.

It was Dong Chongli's idea to let Hang Jiufeng go to the grass shed to persuade Hang Tianjia. Dong Chongli also said that Hang Jiufeng would definitely ask for a story to Hang Tianjia.

The five-member team adopted Dong Chongli's suggestion and agreed to Hang Jiufeng's request. Dong Chongli didn't want to tell Hang Tianjia: "You should know that Hang Tianjia used self-harm to resist the order, and I also told Chairman Zhang in the letter. The five-member team thinks that Dong Chongli did it very correctly, and his heart is not afraid of crooked shadows, and the more critical the time, the more he should face Hang Tianjia with confidence. If there was no five-member team, Dong Chongli might not have hesitated at this moment. With a team of five, Dong Chongli was not down-to-earth. Dong Chongli's performance surprised the five-member team. They hoped that Dong Chongli would go, and the tone of their speech was no different from that of the arrester and interrogator. Dong Chongli knew that he had to go.

On the way, Hang Jiufeng understood his heaviness: "Don't add to the burden of my father's affairs, for so many years, most of the Hang family has died unexpectedly, for us, all death is considered the end of life." ”

Looking at Hang Tianjia imprisoned in the grass shed, Dong Chongli felt a sour feeling in his heart, and there were also trills coming out where there shouldn't be a vibrato when telling a story. "Buffalo ploughs the field, oxen plough the field, and if a man does iniquity in the world, he will eat grass and plough in the next life." As soon as the four lines of singing came out, Hang Tianjia, whose hands and feet were tied tightly, shouted three times. Dong Chongli lowered his head and waved his drumstick, looking at Hang Tianjia from the corner of his eye. Dong Chongli hasn't told a story for a long time, his hands are a little raw, and he hits hard with a hammer. Hang Tianjia shouted and enjoyed it. Dong Chongli, who was in a heavy mood, exerted more effort and told a story to the sky.

After the storytelling, Dong Chongli was silent.

"In the past, I always heard people say that whoever bullied the people who watched the bridge would be punished. That year, he had an affair with Chang Shouyi's wife in Wuhan, which was really tasteful. So, I don't regret it. Hang Tianjia grinned, "Mr. Dong, whether you are dead or alive, I will not blame you, these are all providence." ”

Dong Chongli was still silent.

"There's one thing, I don't blame you, and you don't blame Ah Cai. Your secret letter to Chairman Zhang was read by me. Hang Tianjia still grinned like that, "The Hang family has countless ways to deal with passers-by. On the night of the second day when Ah Cai went on the road, Jiufeng traced all the way into the inn, rounded room with her, and stole the letter you wrote to see it clearly. In fact, Ah Cai did not respect Chairman Zhang, and even hid the letter in a headscarf covered with dysentery. Later, I kept thinking that if Chairman Zhang didn't wash his hands after reading the letter and ate with chopsticks, he would definitely suspect that the guy was stealing fish and eating fish behind his back. In the past, people said that you were very fair in your heart, but after reading the letter, I felt that those statements were true. You said that we have traditionally loved our families, which is both a weakness and a strength, and everyone will exert their strength to fight against their homeland. He also said that I am a warrior who dares to charge in front of any opponent. You don't just speak ill of Chang Shouyi, you also remember the main role he played in the success of the Tianmen riot. Jiufeng, today is three people and six sides, you have to remember if I say something, God wants me to die, and it has nothing to do with everyone. ”

Dong Chongli opened his mouth expressionlessly, but still did not speak.

Hang Tianjia suddenly scolded Ma Harrier and Brigade Commander Feng: "These two pieces of, I don't know where to hide." I wish they had attacked before dark. Then you won't kill me, because without me, the fighting power of the independent brigade will be reduced by half. ”

Hang Jiufeng said: "And me, when I fight, I won't be worse than you." ”

Hang Tianjia laughed: "It's almost like someone else to say." ”

Hang Jiufeng said: "People say that I just don't have a woman's relationship as you." ”

"It's good to understand. Do you understand why? It's because you use all the skills you have worked so hard to learn on Ah Cai's head! Listen to me, never think that any woman is the best in the world. Let's see, isn't there another snow lemon today? You have to remember that you must not make the mistake of pursuing Ah Cai again. You also have to remember, don't touch the women of the Xue family. Political Commissar Fu said that there are no fox spirits in the world, but there are women like fox spirits everywhere. The women of the Xue family are not only fox spirits, but also fox fairies, what they care about is not other people's flesh and bones, but souls. ”

Hang Tianjia smiled extremely happily, he unbuttoned his clothes, revealing lumps of flesh that were as hard as iron, and no one else recalled the women he had experienced. In Hang Tianjia's opinion, this time is very wonderful, and his happy appearance is unbearable.

The allotted time for the five-member team was running out. Dong Chongli finally spoke: "You are a smart person, think about it for Jiufeng as soon as possible." ”

Hang Tianjia's face was full of doubts: "You talk like this, I don't understand." ”

Dong Chongli said: "Do you really don't understand or fake don't understand? ”

Hang Tianjia was puzzled: "You talk about it, maybe I will understand." ”

Dong Chongli said with a heavy heart: "The current situation is very special, although your Hang family has a newborn male who is placed there, but the horse harrier will not let go easily, and the reliable one is Jiufeng that you conjured up with a soak of urine." You also know what Ah Cai said after returning from the White Bird Garden, even the descendants under the direct command of Chairman Zhang were killed one out of ten, not to mention the independent brigade at the gate of heaven. You are the meat on the chopping board, Jiufeng is your son, if you are connected, it will be too late. ”

Hang Tianjia said: "Haven't you always been reluctant to reuse Jiufeng? ”

Dong Chongli said: "I am thinking about Political Commissar Fu. To engage in armed secession in Dabie Mountain, you have to rely on Political Commissar Fu, and no one else has the means to do it as well as him. If Political Commissar Fu wants to accomplish this great cause, he has to rely on Jiufeng to be his helper. Without Jiufeng, Political Commissar Fu's ability to call the wind and rain would not be able to be displayed. ”

Hang Tianjia said: "You don't want to tell a book and give me a maze array!" ”

Dong Chongli said: "It's okay, time is limited, let's talk about thirty-six plans!" The last plan is to go up, the thirty-fifth plan is a chain plan, the thirty-fourth plan is a bitter meat plan, the thirty-third plan is a counter-room plan, the thirty-second plan is an empty city plan, and the thirty-first plan is a beauty plan-"

Hang Tianjia waved his hand to interrupt Dong Chongli's words, and it took a long time before he said: "I understand, I must use the thirty-six strategies in my life!" Thirty-five tricks have been used in the past, and only the bitter meat trick remains! It's okay, on the day of the execution, let Jiufeng send me away, don't let others pick up this cheap! ”

Dong Chongli sighed: "No wonder others call us **!" ”

Hang Tianjia was relieved: "Mr. Dong, you don't need to make your face white like a dead pig's buttocks, you are doing good things for the Hang family." I'm going to become a ghost, and if something happens to you, I'll plug the barrel of their gun with my finger and prevent them from shooting you. Go and call the group of five, and I'm going to talk to them face to face. ”

The easier Hang Tianjia agreed, the more uncomfortable Dong Chongli felt in his heart.

After the five-person team arrived, they were surprised and readily agreed to Hang Tianjia's request.

In front of everyone, Hang Tianjia took one sentence as two sentences and said: "Jiufeng, my son, don't be polite in front of Lao Tzu!" The attack must be ruthless, and even people with knives must dance in the wind. Whether it is an arm or the back of a knife, you must be able to borrow the power of the wind, and you must stand on the upper hand, in addition to being strong, you can also avoid blood. The person who just died has heavy blood, and it is not good to smell too much, even if it is Lao Tzu. If you touch it, this piece of tendon is too hard, and there must be meat tendons in it. I'll try to relax when the time comes. To deal with it, in addition to being ruthless, it must also be fast. When the blade is cut down, it should not go straight up and down, but should have the meaning of horizontal. Hard chopping is not good, the moment the blade is about to eat the meat, there must be a small action of cutting and cutting, that is, cutting to the end of the homeopathic pull. Remember, the strength of the cut is the main thing, and the strength of the pull is the secondary. The most important thing is to calm down. The affairs of the world, do not look far, but look close, Comrade Xiao Cao is a good example! Be ruthless in dealing with enemies, and be ruthless in dealing with your own people. A soft-hearted person can only be an ordinary person, and a ruthless person can accomplish a great cause. You are the heir of the Hang family, and you should be handy at doing such things, so you have to do it yourself. If someone borrows my head and becomes a hero, the Hang family will become a shit that makes people laugh. Those who dare not do it are not the children and grandchildren of the Hang family. This kind of thing is unpleasant. I am also an old lady, just because he refused to let the horse harrier be captured alive, and we are respected by everyone as descendants. ”

Hang Jiufeng stared at Hang Tianjia's neck: "Okay, I'll try." ”

Hang Tianjia was angry: "Bastard! It's not about trying, it's about doing it. ”

Hang Jiufeng said: "People who are dying don't lose their temper. I'll keep you satisfied. ”

Hang Tianjia said: "There is one last thing. In my generation, the Hang family has four sons. After giving birth to you, I thought that your second father, third father and younger father would also give birth to a son, but I didn't expect that they didn't even have a daughter. Therefore, if you want to save the capital of the Hang family, you must have at least four sons in this life. ”

Neither father nor son is verbose, and when things are clear, they won't say a word more. Back in the chapel, Hang Jiufeng carefully picked out a big knife. Hang Jiufeng, who knows how to nitrate dog skin, is particularly particular about the steel fire of the knife, and the kung fu of sharpening the knife is also beyond ordinary people.

At this moment, Hang Tianjia is extremely pragmatic. When the five-member team was arraigned for the last time, he didn't say a word of cursing, but really put forward three demands: First, find a place where no one was there during the execution, and he would be a hero for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to show people a nest until he died. Second, he is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of pain, which is more uncomfortable than death. Ask a team of five to prepare four catties of braised pork, eat two catties by yourself, and have the strength to withstand the knife when the time comes; The other two catties were given to Hang Jiufeng to eat, and he was able to wield a knife. Third, before Hang Jiufeng's second son is born, the child called Yizhen must be identified as the bloodline of the Hang family and take him back from the hands of Ma Harrier. The second and third requests were not contested. As for the first request, it is simply not a requirement, Hang Tianjia does not say it, and the five-person team will do the same. After the interrogation, Hang Tianjia, who had made great contributions to the development and growth of the independent brigade, got half a pot of braised pork as he wished. Hang Tianjia only ate a small half, and gave the rest to Hang Jiufeng. Because he was worried that if Hang Jiufeng didn't have enough strength, he would suffer extra hardship. Hang Jiufeng ate the braised pork left over from Hang Tianjia. It was cold, the oil in the bowl was frozen white, and the pieces of meat that protruded on it were cold and black. Hang Jiufeng likes to eat such cold oil and cold meat, and his father's checkmate cannot affect his appetite. Seeing that he was almost finished, he looked up and asked Hang Tianjia if he had any other instructions. Hang Tianjia shook his head, the people who are about to be beheaded in the world are like this, after eating the braised pork, the heart is dead.

Moth Meiyue bent like a smiling woman, Sisi and thread hugged a town, followed Ma Harrier away, Duan Sanguo took his wife to hide in a relative's house, and there was no one in the house. Hang Jiufeng, who was burned uncomfortably by the fire of temperament, found Ah Cai: "My father has spoken, I am responsible for the next seed, and you and Sisi are responsible for having a son!" One person and two, whoever can't give birth, I'll crush her to death! Ah Cai fought while laughing at him for finding the wrong person, such an important thing should not be done by her, since Sisi is so good at giving birth to sons, she should be allowed to give birth to ten or twenty in one go. Hang Jiufeng's strength is getting bigger and bigger, and Ah Cai's voice is getting louder and louder. She had to go to the group of five right away and make her relationship with the Love Research Society clear. When the five-member team informed her, they said that they had no room for maneuver and that they would have to meet within half an hour, otherwise they would be punished for deliberately evading it. "I don't believe you're not afraid of a group of five!" Ah Cai hurried away, and Hang Jiufeng howled at the crooked moon.

In the second half of the night, the iron sand cannon went off. The group of five was frightened, thinking that someone had instigated a riot by the Independent Brigade. It was not easy to figure out that it was Hang Jiufeng who drank too much wine and set off a cannon to cheer himself up. The sound of iron sand cannons only added to the confusion. Hang Jiufeng threw down the wine jug, didn't look at the eyes of the five-person group staring at him, carried the big knife and walked to the back mountain, passed Xiaodong Mountain, then passed Xiaoxi Mountain, and walked a long mountain road, to a deep mountain col illuminated by a bonfire. Hang Tianjia's mouth was tightly stuffed with cloth, and he couldn't make any sound. Hang Jiufeng stood firm in front of him, and didn't listen to the instructions from the group of five, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times, got up and said, "Old man, my son has sent you to enjoy happiness!" Then he swung his knife naturally. The north wind helps, the cold light shines through, and the mountains and fields hang low. The loud sound of the separation of the body and the head could have made Hang Tianjia die majestically like Hang's father.

Everything was diluted by Mai Xiang's scolding.

Five

When Chang Shouyi was arrested, Mai Xiang was rubbing Fu Langxi's pants vigorously in the creek.

When Hang Tianjia was arrested, Mai Xiang rubbed Fu Langxi's pants vigorously in the creek.

"Why don't you let Commissar Fu's red seed take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit?" In the past, Dong Chongli would definitely say that Fu Langxi was so scared that he peed his pants, but today he can't say that. He paused and joked with Mai Xiang seemingly relaxedly. After Comrade Xiao Cao met with Fu Langxi, he passed the word through a five-member group, authorizing Mai Xiang not to participate in activities with the independent brigade for the time being, and to take care of Fu Langxi with all his might, as long as it did not affect Fu Langxi's health, it was also allowed to have children.

Mai Xiang responded to Dong Chongli's words: "Maybe if you don't have children, you will be punished?" ”

The painful expression that flashed on Dong Chongli's face made Mai Xiang subconsciously look a few times into the depths of the side street when he turned around again: a few more people were escorted to the back mountain by the soldiers in charge of the regiment leader. Dong Chongli shook his head lightly while calming down. A few hours later, Mai Xiang saw Dong Chongli again, this man who had always been frank and quiet as a virgin was already in chaos.

In the chapel, the group of five was already in place. On the table was a confession of righteousness. said that it was a meeting to discuss, but there was no part of Dong Chongli's words, and the five-person group discussed with me word by word, how to wipe out Mai Xiang and others, who were ranked third. Dong Chongli sneered in his heart. Ever since the five-member team went to arrest those who had confessed to Chang Shouyi, they had lost Dong Chongli's respect. As time passed, Dong Chongli understood: Mai Xiang was a bait, or Dong Chongli took the bait, or Fu Langxi took the bait, or both of them took the bait, or neither of them took the bait. No matter what step is achieved, in the end, it will be the result of the five-person team's rebellion: finding out the details of the main person in charge of the independent brigade's armed secession area at Tianmen will only make this team more pure. Dong Chongli did not insist, nor did he not insist. The five-member team first decided not to inform Fu Langxi in advance that Mai Xiang would be arrested, and later decided that Dong Chongli would inform Fu Langxi before Mai Xiang was arrested. Dong Chongli just listened carefully, and it wasn't until they made a final decision that he used his gaze to penetrate the window and gaze deeply at the mountain behind him.

"Do I have to go? It would be more appropriate for you to inform. ”

"You are Lao Fu's old partner, there is a tacit understanding in everything, and it is most appropriate for you to go."

Dong Chongli no longer cares about the five-person group wearing new military uniforms and new collar badges and cockades.

When Dong Chongli entered Xue's house, Fu Langxi was talking to Mai Xiang: "I've been thinking about the Love Research Association for the past two days. ”

"I don't want to, and you don't want to, so as not to be upset."

"Nope. I figured out that one day I must study how to fall in love. ”

"No wonder everyone is willing to listen to you and follow you."

"If there was a bitter before sweet or sweet before bitter, which would you choose?"

"You should make something sweet first and then sweet for me to choose!"

Dong Chongli barely squeezed out some smiles and walked in. After Mai Xiang avoided it, he immediately changed to a seriousness that he had never felt before. At this point, he no longer shy away from it, and said everything related to Mai Xiang straight to the point. The five-member team identifies Mai Xiang as the main leader of the Love Research Society. Fu Langxi did not have yellow wax on his face, but it was more yellow than yellow wax. He didn't say a word, his eyes looked into the air, like a man who only remembered hunger but not fullness, only remembered food and didn't remember his. Dong Chongli urged him to come up with an idea several times, but he didn't respond.

"To continue like this is to kill innocents indiscriminately. What is the difference with those who deal with us by the method of killing three thousand by mistake rather than letting one go? Seeing that Fu Langxi still didn't speak, Dong Chongli became impatient, "I knew that you didn't want to save Mai Xiang, why bother with these words." I'll tell her to run for her life. ”

Fu Langxi finally opened his mouth and shouted slowly: "You and I can't do anything about Mai Xiang's affairs." You didn't even think about why those people let you come to me alone? It would be naïve to think that they would be careless and careless. This is a well-designed trap for you and me, and if you stick one foot into it, it will be a dead end. ”

"I've long understood this, but I can't watch Mai Xiang die!" Dong Chongli was unwilling, "It's better to do something for Mai Xiang than to do nothing." ”

Fu Lancey looked at the sky and couldn't keep his eyes down: "What else do you think we can do?" When they asked you to come to me, they had already blocked Mai Xiang's way of life. When they fought to the death with the Harriers, I didn't see anyone send a gun to help. The horse harrier ran away and disappeared, but sent a regiment from the main force to suppress the formation, have you ever heard of this kind of thing? ”

Dong Chongli was not convinced, but was more resolute: "Mai Xiang is your wife, you have to try, right?" You call her in and see what she says. ”

Fu Langxi coughed a few times, and before he could speak, Mai Xiang took the initiative to run into the house.

"I'm fine, it's he who has something to say to you." Fu Lancey stretched out his finger and pointed.

"Those who have come to suppress the rebellion will kill you!" Dong Chongli has no time to be tactful.

"This Chang Shouyi, who deserves a thousand knives, I have never hindered his business in life, and he has not much to gain when he dies, why can't he get along with me!" Mai Xiang didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, and all she could think of was complaining.

"Run, maybe it's still too late!" Dong Chongli became more and more nervous.

Mai Xiang stared at Fu Langxi tightly, waiting to hear his opinion. Fu Langxi didn't shy away either: "As soon as you leave, everyone in this room will be finished." ”

Mai Xiang took a strand of hair in her mouth, and as soon as she gritted her teeth, she had an idea. Since Chang Shouyi has determined himself, the best way is to take the initiative to confess, even if he can't save his life, at least it won't hurt Fu Langxi and Dong Chongli. Dong Chongli, who was moved, hoped that Fu Langxi could come forward, Mai Xiang could do everything for him, why couldn't he do everything for Mai Xiang! With Fu Rancy's prestige, it is possible to persuade the five-person team to save Mai Xiang and others, and put an end to this intensifying ****. Mai Xiang didn't let Dong Chongli blame Fu Langxi. It was clear that the five-member team knew that she was Francie's wife, and if they still trusted Francie, they would let her go. The opposite is true now, and the more Francis explains, the worse it gets. Mai Xiang asked Dong Chongli to wait in the patio, and he would come over in a while. Dong Chongli silently walked through the White Bird Garden and stood behind the Dongyue Gate. There seems to be movement behind him, and it seems like there is no movement. When there is movement, it looks like two people are crying, and when there is no movement, it looks like two people laughing.

When the rejuvenated Mai Xiang came out, her face was full of charming flushes: "I'll go and go back, you wait at home, the good days have just begun!" ”

The Mai Xiang who scratched his head and gestured not only surprised Dong Chongli, but even Fu Langxi, who got along day and night, was quite surprised. The embroidered satin jacket she was wearing, from the style and color, was exactly the same as the dress of the ghost that Chang Tianliang said.

"Where did this dress come from?"

"Don't be careful, it was I who said to Grandma Mei during the small talk that I must look good in such a jacket, but I didn't expect her to ask the tailor to make one for me. I'm not hiding it from you, I want to wait until I've survived the rebellion before I tell you. ”

"Chang Tianliang said it so clearly, why don't you remember!"

"You said it, I can't listen to the nonsense of Chang Tianliang!"

Fu Lancey asked Mai Xiang to put on old clothes and go to meet the group of five. Mai Xiang, who was lined with an embroidered satin jacket and was unprecedentedly charming, would agree. She doesn't believe anything, just by Chang Shouyi's words, the husband and wife love between herself and Fu Langxi will become the vastness of heaven and earth.

Dong Chongli was at a loss. The neat overlapping seams on the embroidered satin jacket resemble sharp edges. Mai Xiang walked in front, and a woman who had been wandering this street for many years was suddenly so beautiful that the whole street opened their mouths in surprise. As soon as the beautiful Mai Xiang entered the chapel, she declared that she had said something that she should not have said, but fortunately, with the patience and guidance of Fu Lancey, she understood many truths.

The group of five spoke straightforwardly: "Why did you set up a love research society?" ”

Mai Xiang was not afraid of this kind of interrogation: "I didn't set up the meeting you said. ”

The group of five said, "Don't say that we didn't ask, we just want to understand the purpose of your establishment of the Love Research Society." ”

Mai Xiang still denied: "The trees are not planted, where is the fruit?" ”

The group of five said, "Okay, tell me about the purpose of love!" ”

Mai Xiang is very willing to say that she is in love: "What man doesn't want to marry the woman he loves?" What woman is not willing to marry the man she loves? It's not okay not to let people fall in love, only by letting people fall in love can you really live a comfortable and good life. ”

"According to you, the Soviets are the flesh of the yellow egg, and armed secession is even more excessive?"

Without hesitation, the group of five had Mai Xiang's hands strangled with ropes and escorted them to the back mountain. Mai Xiang panicked and kept struggling: "I still have something to say, you can't help but let me finish speaking." ”

The group of five ignored Mai Xiang. Halfway through, Mai Xiang suddenly fell to the ground and rolled down the mountain. The thorns on the hillside were clumps one after another, and the satin jacket could not withstand such torture, and the strips of cloth that had been torn off hung from the thorns like a bunch of strange flowers in winter. Mai Xiang rolled for a while, ran for a while, rolled for a while, ran for a while, ran again. Finally, the escort caught up and pressed him to the ground. Under the cover of the wild grass, people in the distance thought that Mai Xiang had been beaten. Her escort danced their fists and feet loudly, but they all smashed on the stump next to them. In the end, Mai Xiang asked the man who escorted her to turn around, and she covered the exposed white flesh on her body with her clothes before returning to the path.

As soon as she entered the straw hut that was used as a cell, Mai Xiang asked to see Comrade Xiao Cao, who said that the group of five was arrogant and arrogant, and could not distinguish between human words and nonsense, and she wanted to report to Comrade Xiao Cao all kinds of strange things that had happened at the gate of heaven these days. Since she was a child, she was sold to others as a child daughter-in-law, and her husband was killed by a horse harrier just after she got out, and finally married Fu Langxi. This kind of thing is said to be done by Ma Harrier, and some people believe that Chairman Zhang sent Comrade Xiao Cao, and Comrade Xiao Cao sent a team of five people, and in the end, even Mai Xiang could not die well, wouldn't it mean that the sun came out of the west!

Mai Xiang, who was screaming to the fullest, was soon strangled with a strip of cloth. Those people also said indignantly that talkative women were the most annoying.

Mai Xiang, who wanted to talk to Comrade Xiao Cao, couldn't even meet in a group of five again. The five-member team did not want to torture a woman who was like a flower, and the persuasion was ineffective, so immediate execution became a natural choice. Dong Chongli did not go to the killing field. The power of the five-member group was not enough for them to dictate to Dong Chongli on various tasks. They asked Dong Chongli to go to the scene to supervise the formation, but Dong Chongli refused. He said, "It's all up to you, so I don't have to go!" "Dong Chongli's body is indeed sick. The gust of wind blew through the barrel of wine prepared for the firing squad, and the smell of the wine was so unbearable that he almost vomited out his five internal organs, first vomiting rice, then spitting dregs, then only water, and finally spraying on the ground, either green bile, or red blood.

The three people led by Chang Shouyi were all escorted to the killing field. Chang Shouyi was the first to be executed, which made him feel a trace of pride in his heart: to the last moment, he finally had the opportunity to surpass the Hang family and become the number one hero at the gate of heaven.

Subsequently, Hang Jiufeng, who was smooth and unpretentious, and never dragged mud and water, slashed at Hang Tianjia with a knife in his hand. Mai Xiang on the side suddenly bit off the strip of cloth with her strength, just like a summer flood pouring into the West River from heaven, and scolded with all her strength. In the panic, Mai Xiang scolded who and what she scolded, but no one heard clearly. Hang Jiufeng put away the big knife, knelt in front of Hang Tianjia again, and kowtowed his head without stopping. The moth in the sky bent into a knife, and continued to smash the towering and spreading clouds with a loud sound.

The man with the spear was still hesitating: "I'm afraid of beautiful women!" ”

The five-member group reprimanded: "If you don't kill her, she will kill you!" ”

Mai Xiang, who knew that death was coming, scolded even more fiercely.

"No wonder women have two mouths, if there is only one mouth on it, don't say that men like it, it's hard to prevent men from slapping them to death!"

Hearing Hang Jiufeng's voice, the five-person team immediately asked him to be executed.

"No, the Hang family has family rules, and you can't punish women with sharp weapons."

"Go, fall in love with the dead!" Hang Jiufeng's words angered the group of five. The person in charge wearing glasses snatched the big knife from Hang Jiufeng's hand, and the arc like a crescent moon flashed, and the head full of hair suddenly became a rabbit going down the mountain, rolling down the hillside without a trace. Mai Xiang finally stopped scolding, and the scolding became a group of five, and those inexplicable anger were all aimed at Hang Jiufeng, and they would never let Hang Jiufeng carry out the execution task again.

The moment Mai Xiang's head hit the ground, Fu Langxi's face suddenly turned blue and he couldn't breathe. Grandma Mei held his head in her arms, raised her hollow palm, and slapped him his thin back more than a hundred times, and Xue Ling and star fruit also followed Grandma Mei's example and slapped the same number of times. Fu Langxi's face was sometimes good and bad, and Grandma Mei understood that he was suffocated by the words in his heart, so she asked him to lie down beside the well, put his head into the well, and said all the words that he did not want to keep in his heart. After Grandma Mei's guidance, Fu Langxi finally took a breath. Fu Langxi said that Mai Xiang died too unjustly. What made Fu Langxi the most sad was that in a trance, he heard Mai Xiang scolding himself for being ruthless and unrighteous when he was dying, completely ignoring the ancient precept of a hundred days for a husband and wife, even a horse harrier was not as good as a horse harrier, and Ma Harrier remembered to bring his wife and children when he fled for his life. These scolding words are not like Mai Xiang's last bitter ploy to protect Fu Lancey. Fu Langxi thinks that Mai Xiang is really scolding! Really hate!

Hang Jiufeng, who secretly came to the White Bird Garden after leaving the killing field, said that this was not the case. When the head hit the ground, Mai Xiang was still shouting: "Mr. Fu, I love you to death!" Before saying this, Mai Xiang had persuaded Hang Jiufeng that he could cut off the plate of entanglements that Ah Cai was envious of from his head, and have the opportunity to take them to Wuhan and ask someone to make a fake and send them to Ah Cai. Hang Jiufeng did as she said, and spread the cut tangled in front of Fu Langxi, asking him if he wanted to stay as a thought. Fu Langxi said no, so Hang Jiufeng took the wheat incense, washed the blood stains on it with fragrant soap and stream water, and kept it properly.

May

After killing the three leaders of the Tianmen Gate, the five-member team did not drag the mud and water, and used the two companies of the regiment commander to escort all the officers and soldiers of the first and second squadrons of the independent brigade to a secluded and uninhabited ravine.

At this moment, Hang Jiufeng suddenly left the gate of heaven. Also running away with Ah Cai and the death squad that has been led by Hang Jiufeng all the time.

The timing of the operation was particularly well chosen.

Among the people, Kuanghe and Shiqiaopu, which belonged to the jurisdiction of Luotian County, were classified by the Soviet power into the five districts close to the county seat. Because it is a new district that has just been expanded, the people are not only dissatisfied with the fact that there are too many people killed in the anti-rebellion, but also a series of incidents. First, they jointly issued a guarantee to demand the release of those detained by the Political Security Bureau, and then surrounded Comrade Xiao Cao, who had rushed to persuade them, and lowered their weapons. As soon as the collective execution of the 1st and 2nd squadrons ended, all the people who rebelled at the gate of heaven were ordered to rush to help, and only the woman who claimed to be Sister Ouyang was left in the five-person group.

Sister Ouyang was made to vomit all day long by the fetus in her womb, and she agreed before she heard what Quan Hang Jiufeng meant. On the contrary, Hang Jiufeng was more thoughtful, he left a letter, saying that he had received information, and Ma Harrier would set off from Sanlijia Town, Luotian County in the next two days, passing through the Father and Son Ridge at the junction of the two counties, and secretly jumped back to the Xihe area, and it was possible to take advantage of the chaos in the five districts to attack the county seat. The military situation is urgent, and it is impossible to wait for approval. He wanted to capture the harrier alive and add to the anti-rebellion work of the five-member team. If the Harrier is captured alive or the Self-Defense Forces are severely damaged, the people will be more convinced that the rebellion is the right thing to do, and that as long as the day of complete victory comes sooner, no matter how many people should be killed.

Dong Chongli doubted in his heart whether the letter was really from Hang Jiufeng. With Ah Cai's assistance, the growth of Hang Jiufeng's writing skills is understandable. The eloquent thoughts in the letter are not something that can be achieved by the sum of the two heads of Hang Jiufeng and Ah Cai. At the gate of heaven, only Fu Ranci can think like this. Since coming to the five-person team that had to examine a dog for half a day, Dong Chongli has reduced the number of meetings with Fu Langxi to no less, and when he has to go, he has to find a way to make the five-person team clearly understand why he wants to meet Fu Langxi. Hang Jiufeng's departure made Dong Chongli feel that it was a last resort, and he entered the White Bird Garden twice in one day in a row to exchange views on the matter with Fu Langxi. Fu Langxi said without leaking a word that Hang Jiufeng's doing this was in line with the principle of struggle during the war years, and he should not stick to dogma when he should take the initiative and be flexible. Dong Chongli, who had been stimulated too much, was open-mouthed, and suddenly said a sentence: Hang Jiufeng can use an excuse to fight and take people away, although I can't find such a good excuse, I can choose to leave alone without hesitation. At this time, the sun was shining brilliantly in the cloudless sky, and the yellow wax on Fu Langxi's face was a little less than before, as if the terminally ill was coming back to life. After a long silence, Fu Langxi finally told Dong Chongli that Hang Jiufeng's idea of taking people out to fight guerrillas was indeed the result of his careful consideration, and that instead of his own people soaking together all day long, suspicion and killing each other, it was better to win a few battles and release the growing pressure in his heart. In case there is no victory to be won, at least the old capital of the independent brigade can be saved.

Dong Chongli's overly worried appearance attracted Fu Langxi's attention. He told Dong Chongli that it was okay to recuperate these days, and he picked a few books from the surviving books of Snow Daddy, and benefited a lot from them. If it weren't for the immutable truths that have been seen in these books, whoever wants to kill Mai Xiang will risk his life to fight. Whoever becomes a great weapon, the first thing is to be able to withstand the killing of others; The second priority is to withstand one's own killing; There is also a third priority, which must withstand the slaughter of heaven and earth.

Fu Langxi's three primary theories made Dong Chongli feel a strangeness that he had never felt before. From the many questions he wanted to ask, he picked out the one he didn't understand the most and asked Fu Langxi: After the riot, the gate of heaven finally formed a prosperous armed separatist situation. It's okay to kill Chang Shouyi, why kill Hang Tianjia, Mai Xiang and other innocent people who have contributed? The answer Dong Chongli got was the last thing he wanted to hear, and it was also the most terrifying. Fu Langxi predicted: In the future, there will be cases of innocent people dying innocently, this is because people are different from animals, animals only want to eat good grass, those who eat meat only want to eat good meat, people eat good grass and want good meat, eat good meat and think about good grass, and there is no end to what they want to get.

When answering these words, Dong Chongli only used four words: "I am disappointed!" Feeling that it was not enough, he said, "I still have to write to Chairman Zhang!" Dong Chongli did what he said, and as soon as the letter was written, it was handed over to the traffic officer.

The rebellion in the five districts, which had been brutally suppressed, quickly subsided. With all the anti-rebel forces at the gate of heaven, the water of the West River returned to the small chapel, and the group of five almost became a group of four. Fortunately, two members received a letter from home, and their pregnant wife complained about the pain of pregnancy in the letter, which made them give birth to a gentle heart, so they did not delve into the unforgivable mistake made by Sister Ouyang. In extreme pain and fear, Sister Ouyang had a miscarriage, and her red blood soaked through one pair of pants after another. The four men in the group of five were moved by compassion together. The child in Ouyang's eldest sister's womb used her life that was still in chaos to save her mother. Not only Sister Ouyang, who lost her fetus, but also the other members of the five-person team also underestimated Comrade Xiao Cao's determination, otherwise, Hang Jiufeng would have no chance to get out, let alone take away all the most elite members of the independent brigade. Comrade Xiao Cao's opinion is very clear, and no matter whether Hang Jiufeng escapes or not, he will be an important target in the next step of the anti-rebellion work.

Half a month has passed, and the three traffic officers who went out to look for Hang Jiufeng were all caught by the Self-Defense Forces without exception and shot to death on the spot. The five-member group had no choice but to ask Comrade Xiao Cao to give an order to send a reconnaissance squad from the team of the regiment leader. Ten days later, the cunning scouts brought back bits and pieces. Hang Jiufeng's range of activities is too large, from the Bailian River, to the Ba River, and then to the outskirts of Huangzhou beyond the two river basins, fluttering like a broken kite. There were a couple of encounters that they were clearly fought. The most sensational battle took place on the road from Sanlijia Town to Huangzhou City, and the convoy of horses carrying arms and supplies to the ** army stationed in Sanlijia was ambushed, and a carriage full of leather oil was hit, and the fire burned for a day and a night.

After being unable to catch Hang Jiufeng, the team of five couldn't wait to hunt down and kill more than a hundred people who might be related to Hang Jiufeng's team leaving. The second group of rebels died unusually neatly. In the afternoon, the arrests began, and just after midnight, everything was history. In the short time left of the year, stimulated by the rebellion in the five districts and the escape of the death squad of the independent brigade led by Hang Jiufeng, Comrade Xiao Cao, who was polite and polite, was even more unleashed to carry out the rebellion, so that the county-wide Soviet congress, which was originally scheduled to be held after the New Year, had to be stopped because there was no one to organize it.

The weather was so warm that I had to take off my cotton clothes, and it cooled down sharply in the rain and snow. Many people are happy that when spring begins, even if they sow seeds indiscriminately in the fields, the harvest will be better than usual. Chairman Zhang, who was far away in Xinji, Henan Province, replied to the letter, in addition to reiterating the trust that Comrade Xiao Cao had relayed earlier, and also emphasized that he hoped that more people would trust him unconditionally like Dong Chongli. Only then did everyone understand that Dong Chongli dared to condemn Comrade Xiao Cao and the five-member group for indiscriminately killing innocents in such an indiscriminate period. In the end, Chairman Zhang also asked him if he was in good health and whether his lung problems had improved, and wished him a speedy recovery of health, return to his combat post, and share his worries with the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Branch of the Central Committee of the Communist Party under his leadership. Anyone who has read this letter knows that Chairman Zhang mistook Dong Chongli and Fu Langxi for one person. To this end, Dong Chongli wrote to Chairman Zhang again. The effect of this letter was very important, at least as Fu Langxi understood it in this way: it directly caused Fu Langxi to throw all possible calamities into the Xihe River, walk out of the White Bird Garden, and accept Chairman Zhang's appointment to preside over the military and political work of the central county party committee. Behind Chairman Zhang's warm letter of appointment is the same suggestion as Dong Chongli Ruixue: Fu Langxi's condition has greatly improved and he can take on important responsibilities. His ability is limited, and at best he can only play a supporting role for Fu Rancy. At the same time, without giving any explanation, Chairman Zhang transferred the head of the regiment and his team back to the north. A few days later, Comrade Xiao Cao, who had faithfully carried out his instructions, was dismissed and transferred.

As soon as Comrade Xiao Cao left, the five-member group disappeared. Before spring comes, most people feel a new warmth.

When he took office, Fu Langxi modestly asked Dong Chongli to say what he was in a hurry to do.

"If it were me, I would dig up Mai Xiang's bones today, and I wouldn't be able to tell them apart later, build a grave, bury it well, and have a place to commemorate it in the future."

Fu Langxi wiped the corners of his eyes sadly: "This matter is in a hurry!" ”

"Then get back the people who Hang Jiufeng took out!"

"That's what I think," Francis said. ”

In order to wait for Hang Jiufeng, Fu Langxi postponed his trip to Henan Xinji to meet Chairman Zhang.

As a result of the brutal rebellion, the area of the areas occupied by the Soviet armed forces shrank considerably. At Tianmen, the area that the independent brigade can effectively control has changed from a two-day journey to about one day. It's even worse in the county seat, walking twenty miles out of the south gate, it's someone else's world. Before Fu Langxi took office, some important organs in the county had already moved to the gate of heaven.

From morning till night, Fu Langxi kept saying words of comfort and comfort to all kinds of people in the chapel where he had been away for a long time, and a string of bubbles grew on the corners of his mouth.

Time flies, and it's time to hit the streets again. The gate of heaven, which had been deserted by the suppression, suddenly became lively. Those who love to listen to and hear stories, knowing that Dong Chongli can't tell stories, still gather in groups in front of the chapel to ask if Dong Chongli will open a bookstore during the day on the street as usual. Dong Chongli was very busy, but he still took the time to meet with these people, and while saying sorry, he reached out and stroked the boy who was looking at him timidly. The boy suddenly hugged his father's legs and began to cry. The boy's father was annoyed by the noise, and scolded him in public for picking up his rice bowl and eating as much as the adults, and still crying so much.

"If you cry again, Comrade Xiao Cao will come back!" The boy's crying came to an abrupt end.

"Comrade Xiao Cao has become a medicine to stop crying!" When the person next to him spoke, Dong Chongli let out a long sigh. When I went back to the house and told Fu Langxi, Fu Langxi came out suspiciously, found a girl who was crying and tried again: "Comrade Xiao Cao is here!" The girl didn't dare to cry any more.

Before lunch, it was supposed to be the time when the people on the street crowded the side streets, and the rebellion scared many people away, and it couldn't be compared with the past at all. Fu Ranci asked many people to bring a message, asking them to tell the people who fled abroad that there was no need to hide outside anymore and come back to live a good life. Francis walked around the street and finally returned to the door of the chapel. A man led a four-year-old yellow man to the front of the chapel and asked someone to see off the tip of the horn on the yellow man's head. "No, no, when it fought with other cows at noon yesterday, it almost picked the other party's belly." "What a pity such a good weapon sawed!" Francy expressed his opinion. The man holding the ox rope knew Fu Langxi: "This thing was not like this before, some time ago, it accidentally let it eat the grass stained with human blood in the col, and it changed a lot. The people next to him also heard the sound outside the strings, and hurriedly interrupted: "Tie up the cow, tie the cow, don't say those words without oil and salt." "The four-year-old Huang Gu was so strong, standing there on four feet, a few sturdy men** broke away, and they couldn't help it. Until the butcher who killed the ox had drunk enough tea, he ordered everyone to use ropes to lasso Huang Gu's front feet, and then to lasso his hind feet, and told the person on the left to pull the rope head to pull the right foot, and the person on the right to pull the rope head to pull the left foot, plus two people to insert the wooden pole under Huang Gu's stomach and pry vigorously.

Four-year-old Huang Huang collapsed to the ground, revealing an exhausted traffic officer. The traffic officer didn't hear anything, let alone see Hang Jiufeng. Fu Langxi, who was shrouded in disappointment, scolded and boasted, Hang Jiufeng with hundreds of people, and he could hide like a four-legged snake.

Fu Langxi said to Dong Chongli: "I can only let Zheng Xianglang run in person!" ”

At this time, the tip of the horn of the four-year-old yellow stump was being sawed off. Two men pressed the neck tightly with their buttocks, and the other two men, one holding the bull's nose bolt and the other pulling the horns, the butcher of the ox used the saw that sawed the sandalwood wood to rustle the horns sharper than a spear into the feet of the bench.

Fu Langxi didn't wait any longer, and the group set off to cross the provincial border north towards Henan. accompanied by Dong Chongli. Dong Chongli didn't want to go, but Chairman Zhang clearly invited him in his personal letter. Fu Langxi also advised him not to make some extraneous things.

On the evening of January 9, 1932, Fu Langxi and Dong Chongli were still on a big mountain more than 100 miles from Xinji, Henan, and the next day the conference was to be held, and they had to travel all night. When they appeared in front of the sentinels guarding the venue, Chairman Zhang on the stage was already making a report on the issue of suppressing the rebellion. After the meeting, Fu Langxi and Dong Chongli heard that the head of the regiment who followed Comrade Xiao Cao everywhere to suppress the rebellion was among the 36 regiment leaders who had been killed as mentioned in Chairman Zhang's report. Captain Guan died differently, and everyone else learned from Master Xu, who died first in the rebellion, and was reluctant to spend bullets in order to die happily. After the head of the regiment got Hang Tianjia's *** in his hands, he never really shot. At the last moment, he really wanted to listen to the sound of *** continuous fire and feel the taste of *** bullets. The demands of the head of the regiment were only partially satisfied, and the executioners were ordered to fill the magazine with bullets, firing them with only a light touch of their fingers. A short burst takes only three rounds. After his death, the head of the regiment was actually smiling.

Fu Langxi could not be satisfied with the news of the head of the regiment, and after several inquiries, he learned that after Comrade Xiao Cao was dismissed, there had been no new appointment. Fu Langxi was very happy, and quietly asked a few people who had a similar experience, went to a restaurant on the street to ask for a roast chicken, and had a good meal with sorghum wine. Dong Chongli was not moved by such good news, only ate half a chicken leg, and went to another room to see the shopkeeper's woman shake the thick cotton strips with a spinning wheel, hold them by hand, and then turn them into thin white threads. After that, Dong Chongli was like a woman spinning thread, taking the hum of the spinning wheel as her own speech, and when she had to shout slogans at the meeting, she only raised her fist and did not make a sound.

One night, Francis was awakened by a long sigh. Dong Chongli was still under the lamp, like a motley, with a brush and an inkstone in his hand, and the words "Chairman Zhang" were written on the white paper according to the format of the letter.

Fu Langxi hurriedly got up: "What do you have to say to Chairman Zhang?" ”

"It was the first half of the night, and now it's the second half of the night, and I've changed my mind."

"What should be suppressed, what should not be suppressed, all of them are suppressed, and it is useless to write again."

Dong Chongli put the blank paper on which he wrote and burned it on the lamp: "If I don't say it, someone else will say it." In this county alone, 1,483 families have died because of the rebellion, and more than 400 families have been killed. ”

"Where did you get such detailed numbers?" Fu Lancey's eyes narrowed into a slit.

"It's all those who love to listen to and hear stories to help investigate." Dong Chongli simply closed his eyes.

"I heard that the people who fled from the Tianmen area accounted for one-third of the total population, did you also go through your investigation?" Fu Langxi continued, "Chairman Zhang already knows that when Comrade Xiao Cao kills people, ten horse harriers can't compare, and his removal is the first step, and his fate must be similar to that of the head of the regiment. ”

"Is this a knife to kill, or a rabbit to kill a dog?"

The sudden question made Fu Langxi look serious: "Don't say such ugly words!" Seriously, you shouldn't say weird things about Chairman Zhang. It's me, I finally found Mai Xiang as my wife, and said that if she wants to die, she will die! I can't figure it out either! If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, and be accommodating with yourself. ”

For three days, Dong Chongli did not say a meaningful word to Fu Langxi. I finally opened my mouth, and all that came out of my lips and teeth was what to eat at noon, pee, and another meeting.

On the morning of the fourth day, Dong Chongli glared and asked Fu Langxi: "Do you remember what Grandma Mei ordered?" ”

It took some time for Fu Ranci to remember what he had heard before leaving the Heavenly Gate: "Tease other people's children more." ”

"Be sure to walk in the rain or snow two or three times a year without rain gear."

"Keep an eye out for the flowers blooming."

"Always recite your favorite poems."

Dong Chongli, who had been nodding, reminded Fu Langxi to say one less word.

"I'm thinking! Remember: find some time and be alone for a while. ”

"These words are a bit hard to understand, aren't they?"

"A beautiful woman like Xue Ning, can ordinary people be her grandmother?"

Fu Langxi got up and went into the toilet and laughed inside. This laughter of his was the most common voice in the Soviet armed secession areas centered on the new set. Fu Langxi was not qualified to speak on stage, and he suggested that Yingshan, Luotian, Xishui, Qichun, Guangji, Huangmei, Taihu, Jinzhai and other counties be renamed Hongshan, Hongtian, Hongshui, Hongchun, Hongji, Hongmei, Honghu and Hongzhai respectively. Just like changing the name of Huang'an County to Hong'an County, suggestions such as these are a source of laughter for many. Dong Chongli did not participate in these things that made Chairman Zhang happy, and whether or not anyone talked about the retreat of the borders of the Soviet area step by step, he was thinking in his heart: What is the reason why these people can still be relaxed and happy in the face of defeat?

Five-two

The first time I heard Fu Langxi say that the realization of the Soviet dream could not be smooth sailing, Hang Jiufeng did not believe it in his heart, otherwise he would not dare to leave the gate of heaven and run to the area of Sanlijia Town, Luotian County, which was heavily guarded by Brigade Commander Feng. Only seventy-man death squads were the backbone of the independent brigade. The mountains around Sanli are not small, the flats on both sides of the river are larger, and the average people have a good life, and the death squad only needs to find a small wall of more than a dozen households, and the front and back are blocked, and food and accommodation are not a problem. Brigade Commander Feng stationed a regiment in Sanlijia, plus a heavy machine gun company and a cannon, and as long as he found Hang Jiufeng's tracks, whether it was across the mountains or across the river, he would open fire when he took aim. On two occasions in the five days when I first arrived, I was almost beaten into meatloaf by the scaring artillery and heavy machine guns. Fortunately, every time danger came secretly, Hang Jiufeng got a premonition, either ten minutes in advance, or half an hour in advance, and got out of danger first. These are not the most dangerous, the most dangerous thing is that the group went down the mountain to collect food, and a woman was poisoned.

The woman's family was the poorest in the village, and her husband went to Luotian County alone to serve as a clerk for the Soviets. This alone made Hang Jiufeng and them feel much more at ease. The woman looks very honest and virtuous, and when she sees people with low eyebrows, she is still shy in her thirties. The people in the mound said that she would knead flour to make hair. Thinking of Mai Xiang who died in front of his eyes not long ago, Hang Jiufeng's heart moved, and his mouth was also greedy, so he asked the woman to show her skills. The woman kneaded the flour, fried two liters of sesame seeds, and crushed them in a dustpan with a blue and white porcelain bowl. While the woman was doing these things, Ah Cai and a few other greedy men were watching from the sidelines. The woman mixed a whole packet of arsenic into the sesame seeds, and Ah Cai actually asked if the sugar had turned into nitrate because it had been left for too long. The woman smiled lightly, showing no sign of ending the lives of others. She made 200 hair poops in one go, all of which were white and delicate, and the aroma hit people before they were steamed. When the first pot was about to be steamed, Ah Cai, who was helping to burn the fire behind the stove, looked from low to high, and suddenly found that the blue and white coarse cloth cotton jacket worn by the woman was hidden in a filial piety robe. Ah Cai, who was terrified, immediately felt: "This woman's husband was also killed by the rebellion." Ah Cai hurriedly went to Hang Jiufeng and said that no matter how good the hair cake made by this woman is, it can't be eaten. Back in the women's room, several members of the death squad were playing tricks there, putting a few hot hairpods that had just been taken out of the steamer in their hands and constantly pouring them around. Hang Jiufeng caught a hair poop from the air and threw it to the yellow dog who was spinning around under the stove. The yellow dog took a few bites on the spot with a hairpin in his mouth, and before he could move his place, he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and cramping. The woman who took over Ah Cai's fire behind the stove snatched the leftover hairpin from the yellow dog, and did not chew it, but stretched her neck and swallowed it in her stomach. After eating the hairpod, the woman opened her mouth and cursed: "The guy who has suffered a thousand cuts! Ah Cai defended: "You didn't figure it out, we also came out to hide and rebel!" Hang Jiufeng said angrily to the woman, "You think killing people is a trivial matter? If you can listen to what those who are doing the rebellion behind their backs, you don't want to kill. Killing people is the most tiring, sad, and laborious thing in the world. No matter how sharp the knife is, no matter how thin the neck is, it doesn't work, a knife goes down, I don't care at the time, I wake up and feel the soreness in my body, it is better to go out of the husband's service, be used with a gun against the back, and dig a trench for ten days in a row. I don't believe you ask Ah Cai, because the five-person team kills too many people at the gate of heaven, and just looking at it with my eyes is tiring enough, and I don't have the strength to sleep with her at night. "The woman is dead, her eyes are bigger than a cow's eyes. The most terrible thing is the black-red, black-red blood that flows out of the nose, eyes, and ears. Ah Cai was so frightened that she had bitter water in her mouth for several days.

When he was very uncomfortable, Ah Cai said to Hang Jiufeng over and over again that it was better to stay at the gate of heaven and let others suppress his own rebellion. Hang Jiufeng couldn't listen to such words, and Ah Cai was scolded by Hang Jiufeng every time he said it: "Other people's courage is getting bigger and bigger, why are you getting smaller and smaller?" ”

The people in the wall seem to have known for a long time that women are going to be martyred, and as soon as the people here have lost their breath, there are many legends over there: women seek death because their husbands were killed by people who came from other places to suppress them, and she has to eat arsenic regardless of whether the revenge is successful or not. Hang Jiufeng didn't dare to stay in the wall, and quietly moved a place. After feeling a little safe, he continued to teach Ah Cai: "I brought people out, not only for myself, but also for you." Don't think that if you tighten your trouser belt and ignore me, you'll be fine. The five-person team even killed Mai Xiang, don't forget that you once had a Lao Tzu with a lot of money, you don't have any other thoughts in this life, follow me well, and be sisters with Sisi. ”

One night, Hang Jiufeng, who was sleeping in a cemetery, suddenly sighed. Ah Cai thought that he had moved back to the gate of heaven: "You also have a time to be discouraged?" ”

Hang Jiufeng turned over and sat up: "Who said I was deflated!" If you don't believe me, you can pick up a few dead people's bones and make a soup and see if I dare to drink it! "He really wanted to pick up the bones of the dead, and Ah Cai reached out from the quilt and grabbed him.

One morning after the arrival of 1932, Ah Cai got up from Hang Jiufeng's side and quietly got out of the cave. Sentinel Huang Shuiqiang was squatting behind a big tree and yawning, and Ah Cai's posture of stretching his waist made him sober up. Ah Cai deliberately brought up a topic that was easy to excite men: "Don't look at women, you have to see if there is a situation!" "Huang Shuiqiang is Mai Xiang's aunt and cousin, and after Mai Xiang died, everyone began to look up to him." If you don't fight, you must be holding a woman for the winter at this time. ”

Ah Cai's white teeth are made of jade, and he flashes Huang Shuiqiang's heart: "When I marry my daughter-in-law, I must let her learn from you, rinse your mouth and brush your teeth every day!" ”

Losing Ah Cai's warmth, Hang Jiufeng quickly woke up from the cold. Hang Jiufeng, who appeared with the sun, heard Huang Shuiqiang's words and smiled heartily: "People who are relatives of Political Commissar Fu are different, and even mundane things like finding a wife have their own ideals. ”

Ah Caiban raised his face: "The rice is gone, you still have a good smile." ”

"Panicked before you started starving? You, the words on your lips have changed, and you still remember the comfortable days when you were the lord of the land. Hang Jiufeng pointed to the bottom of the mountain, where some unharvested pumpkins were scattered on the misty slopes. The snow had not yet begun to fall, and there was only a layer of frost on the ground, and the golden pumpkins hanging from the dead vines and leaves were very conspicuous. "This ghost is three miles, and the stones are so fat that they are flowing oil. At the gate of heaven, where will there be pumpkins hanging in the ground after frosting and not picking! Huang Shuiqiang, don't be a sentry, take someone down and steal a few pumpkins back while the Sanli people who are lazy haven't gotten up yet. Pick the one with a small belly button – the pumpkin with a small belly button is sweeter. The people of Sanli grow pumpkins to eat the melon seeds inside, and they don't care about this thing. ”

Huang Shuiqiang led people down the mountain, and when he came back, he had a pumpkin in each armpit: "I saw Zheng Xianglang!" ”

"Who? Who do you see? ”

"It's the Zheng merchant who always shakes the rattle all year round."

Ah Cai and Hang Jiufeng both thought that Zheng Shanglang was sent by the five-person team: "It must be for us to go back and suppress our rebellion." ”

Huang Shuiqiang almost cried: "I'm not married yet, and I don't want to be my cousin's companion." ”

"Do you think Lao Tzu can die if he gets married?" Hang Jiufeng gritted his teeth, "While there is still fog on the mountain, hurry up and cook the pumpkin, and then talk about it when you have your stomach." Zheng Xianglang is very fine, we can hide from Brigade Commander Feng, but we are afraid that we can't avoid him. If he was really discovered, he would have to learn to keep righteousness and make him feel bored. ”

The sun is still climbing high. Zheng Shanglang appeared on the ridge.

The stop-and-go Zheng merchant made Ah Cai die in a hurry, and kept muttering: "Don't go, there is no one on the mountain, how can such a road be walked by a merchant!" ”

"Bristles for silk threads! Gastrodia for rock sugar! Zheng Shanglang continued to walk up the mountain, shouting as he walked, "Is there anyone?" Someone said to me, is this a shortcut to Sanlijia? ”

Hang Jiufeng, whose face was pale, finally gave the order. As Zheng approached a group of black rocks, several people who were lying in ambush suddenly jumped out, lifted a stone the size of a pumpkin, and slammed it on his head. "It was Fu Zheng who sent me here!" Zheng Shanglang, who fell to the ground, stubbornly raised the rattle in his hand and said the last words before he died. Hidden in the hollowed-out rattle handle is Francie's handwritten letter. Fu Langxi wrote it down in one stroke, writing nearly 100 words in cursive, and the small piece of paper could not contain his high spirits and pride. Every time Ah Cai recited a word, Hang Jiufeng's scalp was numb for a long time. The skin has always been hard, and the bones are more like Hang Jiufeng beaten with iron, and they are scared like a cotton strip pinched in a woman's hand. After a long time, he said that Political Commissar Fu was not Chairman Zhang, let alone Comrade Xiao Cao, and he would not kill someone with red eyes just because he died. The more Hang Jiufeng said, the more everyone felt that it made sense.

"If you want to make things difficult for us, only Dong Chongli, and Political Commissar Fu will not."

"I'm not afraid of others making things difficult, I'm just afraid that I'm sorry for Political Commissar Fu's kindness."

Later, Hang Jiufeng decided that he had to fight a decent victory before returning to the gate of heaven.

"If I don't fight well, the big enmity on my body will give birth to a small enmity!"

Hang Jiufeng gathered people together and announced loudly: The resourceful Fu Langxi has returned to the leadership position, and with him thinking alone, others don't have to bother with more brains, just bury their heads in the war. As the elite force of the independent brigade, the death squad has been out for so long, if you don't fight a good battle, don't say that everyone's face is gloomy, even the magnanimous Fu Langxi will have suffering. The ambitious Hang Jiufeng is bent on winning glory for Fu Langxi, and at the same time atone for the wrongful killing of Zheng Shanglang. He's going to grab the harrier. After careful planning, no matter how picky they were, they couldn't see any loopholes that prevented them from doing their job.

The situation of Ma Harrier stationed in Sanli with the Self-Defense Force has always been under Hang Jiufeng's control. Since capturing the horse harrier alive was a legitimate reason for the death squad to go out for refuge, Hang Jiufeng never attacked him. A large river next to Sanlijia resembles the West River. Because it came late, the harrier could only stay in a ditch across the river. There is no way to attack, no way to retreat, because of the close relationship with Brigade Commander Feng's security brigade, Ma Harrier dares to rest and recuperate. The horse harrier, which was backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, naturally became a good opportunity for Hang Jiufeng to win the battle.

In winter, the wind will rise in the river valley every time it gets dark, and before the moon comes out, Hang Jiufeng will move the team to the hillside. The lanterns are not large, counting from beginning to end, there are only about 20 gates in total. The stronger the north wind, the quieter it became, and occasionally a woman was heard laughing loudly and passionately, and the people who were ambushed in the lower wind could not help but whisper that only the little wife of a rich family would be lawless in front of men.

The north wind blew more and more fiercely, and some people secretly threw out many meat and bones, and the dogs, who were accustomed to barking with the wind, immediately pounced on them, and ignored the rest of the movement. Hang Jiufeng, who was eager to attack, went into battle in person, holding a sharp knife in his left hand and a big knife in his right hand, bypassing a few piles of straw to feed the cattle, and rushing at the figure who was dozing, one knife on the left, one knife on the right, and two sentries who put mobile sentry barked like dogs, and there was no movement. Hang Jiufeng continued to walk lightly towards the middle of the wall. When he arrived at the corner of the rich house where Ma Harrier lived, he put the sharp knife in his mouth, put the big knife on his arm, put on the dog skin he had taken back from Ah Cai, and walked slowly on the ground with his hands, one step with his hands and one step with his feet. The sentry, who was squatting in the doorway to avoid the wind, thought that there was an unencircled sheep, and his hands were caged in his sleeves and holding the gun by the way, and he didn't bother to move. The remaining distance was only about two zhang, Hang Jiufeng kicked the ground with both feet, and jumped forward, but before the sentry could stand up, he had already received a fatal knife in the neck. According to the plan, Hang Jiufeng should go straight to the house where Ma Harrier is sleeping, catch him alive if he can, and kill him if he can't. Hang Jiufeng pushed open the door and entered the house, and had already crossed the patio to the left, and suddenly a woman's dream-like voice came from a small door in his hand.

"Did you pee on the child?"

"No, I took it last night, and it's your turn to take it today."

"You took the urine off the harrier last night, don't put it in the child's account."

The sound of a woman's whistle was heard through the crack in the door, and in a moment there was the clatter of a child urinating on the floor. Hang Jiufeng's heart moved, and threw Ah Cai's reminder that he couldn't lose a big one because of a small one, and he couldn't be too childlike and childlike into the north wind, and remembered Hang Tianjia's heartfelt words before he died: Dreams are only used to deceive others, have children, make a prosperous family, and occupy the territory under their feet steadily, and not allow others to get involved. He whispered through the crack in the door. The woman in the room opened the door in surprise. Hang Jiufeng broke in, picked up Yizhen, who was sleeping soundly, and walked out the door. Sisi didn't have time to ask more, so she pulled the thread with her hand: "The milk of the two of us, he has to eat it every time, and he will cry and choke his lungs if he eats less." Hang Jiufeng walked in front, and the two women followed behind, and walked out of the door silently. Seeing that he was about to turn over the hillside of the wall, Xianxian suddenly shouted loudly: "Ma Harrier, we will take the child back to Tianmen to live for a while, the Hang family wants to go to a town, and if they don't go back, they can't say anything about human feelings." Before he could finish speaking, the machine gun in the wall went off.

The security brigade on the other side of the river also reacted quickly. Hang Jiufeng and the others ran desperately, and from time to time shells fell around. Three of the death squad were killed, but fortunately no one was injured. Silk and thread are not pampered people in the end, they have climbed a big mountain, and then they have climbed a big mountain, and they have not dragged their feet at all.

The death squad successfully rushed out of Sanlijia, but ran into trouble by the White Lotus River, where the remaining ghost fish and their tuks were pushing in and out. Later, when the battle was summarized, Hang Jiufeng asked Ah Cai to say for himself that it would be a great victory to be able to take back a town from the hands of Ma Harrier. In fact, Hang Jiufeng knew better than anyone else that taking away Yizhen and the Duan family sisters was the biggest failure of this operation. The harrier did not move, he knew who was fighting in the night. In the next step, the ** army and the Self-Defense Forces will definitely set up cards layer by layer on the road from the White Lotus River to the Tianmen Gate. If you want to go back to the gate of heaven, you have to break in nine deaths and shed nine and a half layers of skin. Hang Jiufeng will not admit defeat, his son fell into the hands of others, and when he saw it, he didn't save it, would he still save others when they were in trouble? Who will listen to him in the long run! Hang Jiufeng told the platoon commander and squad leader that he was different from others, when he could save his wife, he would definitely save his wife, and when he could save his son, he would definitely save his son. Hang Jiufeng also specially sent four people to serve as guards for Sisi and them to ensure that the town was not in danger.

There are self-defense forces composed of locals everywhere along the Bailian River, and the death squads have only been undiscovered for half a day when they hide at their best. The Self-Defense Forces are not well armed and do not exchange fire, but they are familiar with the terrain and will have an advantageous position as long as they fire. Before the rebellion, this area was a guerrilla zone. After the rebellion, those who hesitated between the two armies all turned to each other. Although the Self-Defense Forces are divided into three prefectures, they cooperate like one person, banging gongs on one mountain, burning smoke on the other mountain, and there are fast people running back and forth between the walls. Wherever the death squads went, the hills on both sides of the road were always occupied by the Self-Defense Forces first. It was not easy to get out, and the town that didn't understand anything would cry loudly at an inopportune time, exposing the more than 60 people who had managed to hide. Fortunately, the shooters of the Self-Defense Forces are not good, and there are constantly flesh and skin blossoming in the death squad, and those who die directly and can't live have not yet happened. Hang Jiufeng was anxious: "Lao Tzu doesn't believe that there are more powerful characters in the Self-Defense Force than Ma Harrier!" He asked the team to drive into a large embankment in a big way, escorted more than a dozen wealthy families together, and then sent a letter to the Self-Defense Forces: From today on, as long as you hear a gong, you will kill one, and if you see a firework, you will kill a pair. Hang Jiufeng did what he said, and killed three people in one breath before he got rid of the Self-Defense Forces.

After getting out, Hang Jiufeng led people to run up the Bailian River for more than forty miles. After walking for another thirty miles, Huang Shuiqiang, who was exploring the way, came back and reported that the top soldier squad had crossed the two estuaries where the east and west rivers meet. Hang Jiufeng asked the team to continue walking, until he saw the lights of Shiqiaopu Town, which was still part of the Fifth Soviet District not long ago and is now controlled by the people, and then stopped in a mountain rush.

There are more than a dozen families in Shanchong who have not changed their minds. It's been a long time since the death squad has met such a warm reception.

Hang Jiufeng, who had been an outlaw for a few days, had just hugged a town for a while with his free hands, and gunshots rang out on the surrounding mountains at the same time.

Fortunately, it was dark in time, and the people on the mountain did not dare to rush into the mountain rush.

The men of the death squad settled down and rushed up the mountain to the north. Halfway up the mountain, the machine gun went off. Retreating into the ravine, a dozen people were gone. Hang Jiufeng was on fire, and he didn't catch his breath, so he rushed up with the rest of the people, and when he saw that he was about to reach the top of the mountain, he was still beaten back. Hang Jiufeng, who was at the front, heard clearly, those who splashed bullets as water were none other than Ma Harrier's Self-Defense Force.

The dark mountain was full of fire, and from time to time cannonballs fell from the sky with long tails. Hiding under the cliff where the cannonball couldn't blow up, Hang Jiufeng put his heart down and fought with the horse harrier to the death. The horse harrier can't fight, and the east, west and south sides guarded by the security brigade are even more dead. Hang Jiufeng was red-eyed, and forced the line to hug Yizhen and walk in the front, and if the horse harrier didn't shoot, let them block the bullet if he really wanted to shoot.

"A man with a great life can come back to life a hundred times after dying."

Seeing that Hang Jiufeng was going to come for real, Ah Cai hurriedly came up with an idea: "It's so dark, you don't need to come to the real one, it's okay to be fake." Hang Jiufeng immediately asked Huang Shuiqiang to put on the clothes with the thread, wrap the bandana with the thread, and then wrap the quilt of Yizhen, wrap a dead lamb in his arms, and walk in the front. When I changed my clothes, I didn't agree. She was worried that the man would tear up his clothes because he was big: "There is no need to bluff, so that the harrier can hear that it is fake, and he will not believe it if it is real." I still hold the town, and I will shout the words. Rest assured, the Harrier will listen. Hang Jiufeng felt that this was not fair enough. He asked Sisi to walk in front with the thread, and Ah Cai followed closely behind. Before the action, Hang Jiufeng asked for silk and thread to pinch Yizhen's body, but Sisi was unwilling, and the thread was unwilling, so Ah Cai had to do it. As soon as Ah Cai made a move, Yizhen burst into tears. Sisi thought that Ah Cai was deliberately heavy-handed, and secretly kicked Ah Cai. The child's cries drifted intermittently in the rain of bullets. Behind him were several loud-voiced people, shouting loudly as they walked: "Ma Harrier, if you have the ability, shoot it, if you don't have the ability, you lie there and don't move." After calling for a while, there was an echo from the horse harrier: "Hang Jiufeng, are you a wild species?" The men of the Hang family will not use ignorant children as cannon fodder. "A town is the species of the Hang family, and the men of the Hang family have to fight from elementary school. The Self-Defense Forces have a lot of bullets, so you can help me train! "Suddenly, the bullets that came down from the top of the hill no longer hit the ground and sparked, and all the ground floated in the air.

Someone slipped down the ridge and conveyed the meaning of Ma Harrier: as long as Hang Jiufeng left a town, Ma Harrier would let everyone live. Hang Jiufeng refused, he said that if there was a kind of horse harrier, he would beat all the people in the ravine into a sieve. It didn't take long for someone from the mountain to come down again. Ma Harrier did not insist on his own conditions, and when he asked Hang Jiufeng to lead people to charge up the mountain, he would make a lot of noise, so that Brigade Commander Feng's people could hear it from a distance. After this mountain, go to the southeast first, don't go to the northeast, Brigade Commander Feng has set up layers of ambushes there, don't say that a town has grown to more than ten catties, even one or two heavy sparrows can't fly over. Hang Jiufeng led people to rush up the mountain with a shout, and bullets from both sides flew in the air. After several charges, the remaining thirty or so people crossed the hill guarded by the harriers and headed southeast. There was no one on the way.

After walking down the mountain, step onto a hazy field, and it is safe to enter the hilly area ahead. Hang Jiufeng was happy, and a sharp whistling fell from the top of his head. If Ah Cai's legs weren't weak and he couldn't run, Hang Jiufeng turned around to help her, and the cannonball would have smashed directly on his heels. No one else has such good luck. The undisguised Tian Ji made Brigade Commander Feng's cannonball grow eyes, and as long as it landed and bloomed, there would be no need for anyone to run away anymore. What was even more terrifying was that Brigade Commander Feng's cavalry quickly chased after him when the cannonball blew people up. Those guys don't have guns, and they use sabers to cut people's heads. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen heads were cut into blood gourds. The line holding the child screamed in fright: "Don't kill me, I'm a harrier's woman!" Hang Jiufeng pressed Ah Cai under the ridge, walked back a dozen steps, and swept out the bullets that he was reluctant to use. The horses that rushed to the front were shot and fell to the paddy field with their hooves flicked. Brigade Commander Feng's cavalry retreated, and Hang Jiufeng hurriedly gathered the remaining men, bypassing Shiqiaopu Town far away, and burrowing into the rolling hilly terrain that connected the mountains in the distance. There were only about two dozen people running for their lives in the mountains.

On the morning when the remnants crossed the West River, Yizhen, who was stunned by the shells, shouted at Hang Jiufeng: "Father! ”

Hang Jiufeng scolded gloomily: "Dog egg, you have ruined my big deal!" ”

The thread was pulled from Sisi's arms: "If you recognize this son, don't fight desperately with the horse harrier!" ”

Hang Jiufeng said: "Just because he is a son, he has to be scolded ruthlessly." ”

In winter, there is very little rain and snow in this area, and the water flow in the West River is very narrow, and in normal years the ice only fsets to the waterline, but now some sections of the river have been frozen by ice. Hang Jiufeng hugged a town in his arms, carrying the silk silk that had broken through the encirclement, and stepped on the ice from the right bank of the West River to the left bank. He had to turn back every few steps to remind him that the water would freeze only when it was shallow, and where it did not freeze, there would be deep pools and sand traps, which were as dangerous as the ambush of Brigade Commander Feng and Ma Harrier. When I went up to the left bank, I looked back and saw Ah Cai still standing on the beach on the right bank. The surviving men all wanted to carry Ah Cai across the river, but Ah Cai asked Hang Jiufeng to return to pick her up. Hang Jiufeng likes women to fight for themselves and be jealous. When he returned to the right bank, he encountered Huang Shuiqiang, who was walking slowly with the line on his back, at the deepest part of the current. Huang Shuiqiang's hand didn't stop for a moment, he kept touching the ass of the thread, and repeatedly persuaded the thread in his mouth to go to the Soviet Union to go through the procedures for divorce from Ma Harrier after returning to the gate of heaven, so that he could be his wife. The line said with a rosy face: "The woman who has broken her body has no taste." If you have a gun in your hand, don't embarrass me, you should go to Wuhan to find a female student who hasn't budded yet. When he picked up Ah Cai, who had a sour expression, Hang Jiufeng also persuaded her to be more generous, he and she were a husband and wife in distress, and Sisi was just an ordinary couple. In which year and month, he really followed Fu Langxi to create a new world, one of them followed him outside, and the other was inside for him.

Hang Jiufeng, who didn't win a battle, finally returned to the gate of heaven. Fu Langxi and Dong Chongli also returned.

After a few days of rest, Fu Langxi personally presided over a welcoming meeting attended by 3,000 people. Fu Langxi's speech at the meeting was very objective, with both good praise and bad criticism. The only two dozen or so members of the death squad were praised, and only Hang Jiufeng was criticized. Fu Langxi described Hang Jiufeng as a wild horse without reins, just running wildly all the way, not knowing that there are borders and boundaries during the day, such a person is like a green fly whose head has been pinched off, buzzing and turning into flowers, but there is no way to live. Fu Langxi said a lot of cruel words, and finally announced the removal of Hang Jiufeng from all positions, and ordered his gun in public. None of the people present dared to move. Fu Ranci was very angry: "Do you want me to do it myself?" As soon as the words fell, Dong Chongli stepped forward and unceremoniously took the *** from Hang Jiufeng's hand.

Due to Zheng Shanglang's death, Hang Jiufeng was also brought to the Soviet court. The presiding judge was Dong Chongli again, and as soon as he came up, he said that he could no longer mess with the mandarin duck score at the gate of heaven, and he could kill whoever he wanted, and no matter what he committed, he would be tried by the Soviet court before being convicted. The person who defended Hang Jiufeng was Ah Cai, and she said that those who followed Hang Jiufeng all the way to escape from death would be the same sentence. Dong Chongli finally decided that Hang Jiufeng should serve seven years in prison for the crime, however, with the madness of the five-person team killing innocents by mistake, if the death squad did not evacuate under the pretext, it would definitely lose its combat effectiveness and be killed by its own people. The merits and demerits are offset and the actual sentence is three years.

After the incident, Fu Langxi asked Hang Jiufeng what he thought. Hang Jiufeng really didn't have any ideas, he just wanted Fu Langxi to help him get some dog skins, and he wanted to take this opportunity to give the white dog skins that had been put away for a long time and give them to Fu Langxi. Hang Jiufeng said with certainty that Fu Langxi would not cough when he slept on his dog skin. Before he got the dog skin, Hang Jiufeng was there fiddling with the tangled that he had cut off from Mai Xiang's head, preparing to make a wig for Ah Cai.
