Ninety-seven

On the first day he returned to the depths of heaven, Fu Langxi removed Hang Jiufeng from his military position. In a very different way from the previous statement, dismissal is dismissal, and euphemisms such as "no longer holding the post of deputy commander of the independent brigade" are not used. After Fu Langxi announced it, he didn't talk to Hang Jiufeng alone, and even announced such a major event as the death of the political commissar Gao among the backbone members of the independent brigade, and he didn't let Hang Jiufeng listen. Hang Jiufeng, who heard about this from Ah Cai's mouth, admired Fu Langxi even more: "Only you can kill the high political commissar!" There was no trace of regret in the words. Nonsense! But Francie didn't appreciate it. Ah Cai also said: "How can Mr. Fu do this kind of thing himself? "yes, who will do it for him without me with him?" Hang Jiufeng wanted to know whether it was executed with a pistol, a rifle or ***: "It stands to reason that a heroic person like Gao Political Commissar can only use the method of giving poison and wine." Hang Jiufeng's investigation made Fu Langxi more and more impatient: "You guy, haven't you touched the sore spot yet?" "Don't say punishment, even if you beat me half to death, I won't be heartbroken." Hang Jiufeng didn't think that the situation was already very serious.

The mountains and mountains in the depths of heaven are changing from heavy green to dark yellow, and Hang Jiufeng, who is loyal to Fu Langxi, finally took advantage of his spare time to make a wig. Ah Cai understood that the wig was made of Maixiang's entanglement, and she didn't want to wear it at first, so she couldn't stand Hang Jiufeng's repeated persuasion, and after trying it, she never wanted to take it off again, and said that only Hang Jiufeng was sincere among the men in the world, and other people used skin and meat, and Hang Jiufeng used the bones wrapped in the innermost part of the skin and flesh to love her. This thing was done, Hang Jiufeng took out the white dog skin that had been hidden for a long time from a place that no one knew, and when he didn't have to worry about the big and small things of the independent brigade, he seized the time to nitrate once or twice, planning to give it to Fu Langxi for the winter.

The weather was getting colder and colder day by day, and Dong Chongli led a few business travelers to pick up some winter clothes and quietly climbed to heaven in the dark night. After handing over all kinds of materials, Dong Chongli saw Ah Cai's green hair, and was surprised to think that hair had grown on her head. It wasn't until dinner, when I talked to Fu Ranci, that I realized that Ah Cai had put Mai Xiang's hair on her head. As soon as Dong Chongli was sad, he drank a few more glasses of wine. When I drank too much, I couldn't help but condemn the indiscriminate killing of innocents in the first place. Fu Langxi, who has never drunk soju, made an exception and drank two glasses, and said a lot of words of thanks to Dong Chongli. These winter supplies were all secretly raised by Dong Chongli and Duan Sanguo, once Brigade Commander Feng heard the news, he would definitely be annoyed.

"If you help me, I'll help you. You can take Hang Jiufeng back for trial. Fu Langxi's words made Dong Chongli dumbfounded, and he said for a long time: "This is not fair, when the Japanese fought bacteriological warfare, Ma Harrier did not listen to orders." ”

Fu Langxi said: "I can only be responsible for the actions of the independent brigade, and how to deal with the horse harriers is a matter for Brigade Commander Feng to consider." ”

After thinking about it again, Dong Chongli returned to the county seat, brought a few clerks, set up a temporary court in Zhangshuwa, and notified Ma Harrier and Duan Sanguo to also come to observe. Duan Sanguo arrived as scheduled, and Ma Harrier only sent a few henchmen to come. Faced with the accusations, Hang Jiufeng said: "Ma Harrier is an egg, I don't want to raise the bar with him, and I don't want to stand trial with him." Considering that there were other important factors that Hang Jiufeng could not resist at that time, the felony was commuted to a misdemeanor as appropriate, so he was sentenced to one year in prison, and because of his meritorious service in resisting the Japanese invading army, this sentence could be carried out under the supervision of all officers and men of the Independent Brigade.

On the day the verdict came into effect, Ah Cai said to Hang Jiufeng: "Mr. Fu treats you like this, if he doesn't have other plans, he also wants to force you to leave the Independent Brigade." ”

When he first heard this, Hang Jiufeng thought that Ah Cai was thinking crookedly: "You don't need to beat around the bush, are there other men who have moved your spring heart and want me to go farther, so as not to hinder your good deeds?" ”

Thinking about it afterwards, Hang Jiufeng felt that Ah Cai's words were very reasonable, so he wanted to leave for a while to see Fu Langxi's reaction. He sped up the speed of the Gundog. When he went to see Fu Langxi with a good dog skin, Fu Langxi hid in the house under the pretext of not even giving him a chance to show up.

That night, the cold wind blowing along the northern ridge shook the depths of paradise. After drinking the fragrant chicken soup boiled by Ah Cai and the hot old rice wine with his own hands, Hang Jiufeng carried Ah Cai into the room, and on the old bed of the landlord's house where he had slept for three generations and could still smell the fragrance of pine resin on the pillow, he rolled out of the bed with a surging temperament, turned from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, and left sweat stains on the pedal in front of the bed.

"It's better not to be the deputy commander, so as not to worry about a lot of extra hearts." Hang Jiufeng, who was panting, was in high spirits until the rooster crowed. "It's time for me to rest, the road outside is long, and I can't get over that hurdle without a little effort." Hang Jiufeng reluctantly jumped to the bed and got dressed: "I'm leaving, you don't have anything to do and have nothing to think about, take the wrong road, people are tired to death, and finally have to come back to be my woman." By the time Ah Cai, who was wearing a wig, had something to say, Hang Jiufeng had already gone away.

The sentry posts along the way, whether open or dark, were all clear, and it was easy to evade their surveillance. Hang Jiufeng didn't do this, he didn't even want to take half a step around, and before the sentry could ask, he spoke first: "Tell Fu Langxi, just say I'm leaving!" I don't want to suffer from these shitholes anymore. After two open whistles and two secret whistles, there were no more independent brigade members in front, Hang Jiufeng was panicked in his heart, and couldn't help shouting at the place he had just left: "Fu Langxi, I ran behind your ass with my head up, but in the end you forced me to leave my hometown, how can there be such a reason in the world!" ”

"Good question!" The voice was very soft, but Hang Jiufeng was frightened but not light. Francy flashed out of the roadside.

"I thought you were going to run last night, so I got a good night's sleep."

"Ah Cai was still menstruating last night, and I was reluctant to run away."

"Stingy! Where are you going? If not, I can give you an idea. After Commissar Gao was killed, one-third of the 8,000 soldiers who followed him became deserters, and set out from heaven and went all the way through Jinzhai County to Hefei. As long as a small part of these people is gathered, plus the existing strength of the independent brigade, it will be much easier to deal with the Harriers. ”

In Fu Langxi's opinion, Hang Jiufeng is the most suitable person to do this kind of thing. In the past, in Qiliping, the high political commissar spoke very highly of him, and gave him a secret order to stick to the heavenly area, which was very important for the old department of the high political commissar who escaped from the fourth detachment of the newly formed Fourth Army. Secondly, even if there are no eyes and ears of the horse harrier in the independent brigade, there must be a spy he has inserted in the area of heaven. Hang Jiufeng's escape, Ma Harrier will not be unaware. Hang Jiufeng, who changed his identity, pulled up a team, and it is difficult to say that it violated various conventions of the anti-Japanese united front.

"You're too loyal, I'm afraid that if you make it clear first, you won't act like it, but it will be self-defeating and exposed."

Hang Jiufeng, who suddenly came to his senses, admired Fu Langxi even more. "I don't have anything to worry about this walk, only Ah Cai, the more she doesn't fight, the more her heart is cross-country. Whether it's you or Ziyu, keep an eye on it for me. ”

"Let's say hello to you first. As soon as you leave, there will be no one to command the independent brigade. If possible, I will let Dong Chongli lead this team. ”

"Dong Chongli's heart has long been wild, and he won't come back."

"So you have to do one more thing, after the team is pulled up, you have to use the excuse of asking for numbers and supplies, and tell Brigade Commander Feng about Dong Chongli's secret delivery to the Independent Brigade." Fu Langxi denied that this was a plan to kill people with a knife, Dong Chongli couldn't die, and he wouldn't die, don't see that Liu Ziwen has become a traitor, and he must have secret contacts with the people of the people's ** in private: "As long as Dong Chongli is removed from the post of county magistrate." ”

Fu Langxi picked up the dogskin vest that had been sewn on his body by Ziyu and showed it to Hang Jiufeng. "I won't be afraid of the wind and cold from now on." Fu Langxi was very moved, and said again and again that no one and no time will forget the special contributions made by Hang Jiufeng to the revolutionary cause.

After going down the mountain, he heard that the Self-Defense Forces were still in Zhongjieling, and Hang Jiufeng temporarily decided to go back to Tianmen to see a town and a county. As soon as he entered Jiufeng Tower, without waiting for him to make love with Sisi, Duan Sanguo came up and said that he had something important to say to him. When the two arrived in the back room, Duan Sanguo asked, "Son-in-law, does Mr. Fu want you to clean up the old department of the high political commissar?" "Hang Jiufeng didn't expect Duan Sanguo to be unpredictable, so he had to nod and admit it." That's right, otherwise many things can't be explained. Duan Sanguo shook his head and sighed while suddenly realizing it, "I've been thinking these times, there are not a few old qualified people left in the independent team, and you are the only one who can keep up with Mr. Fu with an iron heart, Hang Jiufeng alone, if Mr. Fu only punishes you for punishing you, then he is risking his own world's disapproval." Hang Jiufeng didn't listen to it, and he was taken aback after hearing it. Duan Sanguo reminded him that Fu Langxi's real purpose in asking him to clean up Commissar Gao's old ministry was to guard against those who might be unfavorable to Fu Langxi and might even kill him to avenge Commissar Gao. Duan Sanguo's words made Hang Jiufeng feel deeply sympathetic, Brigade Commander Feng made a clever move in this matter, saying that the bane of the death of the high political commissar was Fu Langxi, and using various opportunities to spread it widely, those who love to dig up the ancient are already convinced. There are many fierce soldiers under the high political commissar, and it would be strange if these people did not find Fu Langxi's door to seek revenge. Thinking about it this way, the incomprehensible things that happened between Fu Langxi and Hang Jiufeng became clear one by one. Fu Langxi encountered something of suffering again, just like when Mai Xiang was killed that year, Comrade Xiao Cao and the five-person team did whatever they wanted at the gate of heaven, he once again needed Hang Jiufeng to come forward to solve his worries. The previous time, Francie could clearly tell him the method and purpose of his actions. This time, without Duan Sanguo's reminder, it would be difficult for Hang Jiufeng to comprehend Fu Langxi's true intentions.

Duan Sanguo further told Hang Jiufeng that this time he went to collect the old department of the high political commissar, and he must dig out the guy who dared to betray Fu Langxi. This is the first, the second, to find more people who have the same purpose as the guy who dared to betray Francie. Found it, found it, can neither be shot openly, nor can it be destroyed secretly, only to find a way to let them fight with the Japanese.

Duan Sanguo's complete suggestion, Hang Jiufeng only listened to half of it. He walked northeast for three days, and gathered more than twenty people. Half a month later, Hang Jiufeng found the pistol team member who had followed Political Commissar Gao all over the Dabie Mountains by the Yanzi River. Hang Jiufeng did not embarrass this pistol team member who was loyal to the high political commissar, nor did he take into account his previous suspicion of betraying Fu Langxi to Brigade Commander Feng, and appointed him as the chief of staff, and led the team named Tianmen People's Anti-Japanese Death Squad with him. In his debriefing letter to Fu Langxi, Hang Jiufeng only mentioned the special relationship that the pistol team member had with the high political commissar. Before the letter was delivered, the team formed by Hang Jiufeng's containment was in danger. In the middle of the night, the former pistol team member who became the chief of staff got up to check the sentry and was hit in the head by a bullet just after going out. Hearing the gunshots, Hang Jiufeng quickly led the daredevils to retreat to the back mountain. After dawn, he sent people back to reconnoitre, and the accurate news he got was that the former pistol team members who had been the chief of staff for a few days had already chased the dark wind at night and reported to the high political commissar. Hang Jiufeng added this information to the report letter, and said that a special sign had been planted on the place where he was buried, so that he could be buried again after a complete victory in the future. Fu Langxi quickly replied that Hang Jiufeng needed to study further and master the strategy and tactics of taking one step and seeing three moves like playing chess.

When Hang Jiufeng contained the old department of the high political commissar to nearly 100 people, he began to look for an opportunity to attack the Japanese. They crossed the heavens, crossed the gate of heaven, and went down the river to the White Lotus River, on a windy and dark night, Hang Jiufeng divided the hundred people into three squadrons, the first squadron raided, the second squadron supported, and the third squadron covered. The people of the first squadron are the strongest, as long as they say three sentences, there must be a sentence that mentions the high political commissar. The people of the second squadron are also very tough, but the chances of mentioning a high political commissar are not as good as those of the first squadron. The third squadron is far behind, occasionally talking about the high political commissar, just to persuade others not to take the head of the high political commissar as their own, and there are times when the left hand accidentally hurts the right hand, not to mention the big living people who are running around all over the world and have no blood connection. These people are only the same in one point, and when they talk about the high political commissar, they all use an admiring tone. Hang Jiufeng later reviewed that it was the worst fight of his fighting career. The Japanese, who thought that there was only one squad in the bunker, actually had two squads stationed in the town. As soon as one charge came down, the 1st and 2nd squadrons were covered by the Japanese fire net, and there was no way to get rid of them. The Japanese had fierce firepower and accurate marksmanship, and if it weren't for the night, let alone the 1st and 2nd squadrons, or the 3rd squadron for cover, it would be difficult to fly. In turn, it was the courage and tenacity of the 1st and 2nd squadrons that gave the 3rd squadron a valuable opportunity to retreat in time. The men of the 1st and 2nd squadrons fought to the death, and one person rushed to the bottom of the pillbox and shouted: "Avenge the high political commissar!" Then he pulled three hands that were tied together.

The remnants retreated twenty miles before they encountered reinforcements sent by Brigade Commander Feng. After Hang Jiufeng lost his temper as if he was angry, he asked the liaison staff officer to bring a letter to Brigade Commander Feng, hoping that the death squad led by him could also get the provisions of the national ** on time and in accordance with the amount like the independent brigade commanded by Fu Langxi. The liaison staff officer said in surprise that in his memory, the quartermaster of the independent brigade had long been not replenished by the people.

Hang Jiufeng only used a few words to express all the meaning of Fu Langxi's orders.

Ninety-eight

When Fu Langxi and Dong Chongli met again in Zhangshuwa, Dong Chongli's complexion was obviously not as good as that of Fu Langxi, who was dancing with flying eyebrows. "People who rely on storytelling to eat have no other ability, but they have ears, and they can understand the strangeness in each other's stomachs when they hear the sound."

In front of Dong Chong, Fu Langxi did not beat around the bush at all: "You don't need to worry about it, it was so good in the past, if you have something to say, you can quarrel if you can't say it clearly." Have you encountered a steep hurdle that you can't overcome? ”

"The Eastern Hubei Administration asked me to report on my work, and asked me why I disobeyed the order and provided you with support."

"Mr. Dong has always been rigorous in his work, and the Eastern Hubei Administration shouldn't know about it!"

"I'm here this time to find out if Mr. Fu is making a secret plan."

"Yes, I had that idea, but unfortunately I didn't have time to do it myself. Earlier, I said that you will not be less than three months or half a year as a county magistrate, but I didn't expect you to do a miracle and survive until today. Liu Zimo's brother became a traitor, Senator Wang died in the bacteriological warfare of the Japanese, no one is behind him, one person can be an official in the national **, you and I don't need to work together to riot in the past! It's not that I'm scaring you, this is Qin Hui's twelve tokens to kill Yue Fei, you went to get three miles, but I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the gate of heaven. ”

"But Grandma Mei wants me to go with confidence, and I am not afraid of crooked shadows."

"You can't listen to Grandma Mei for this kind of thing! When others have murderous intentions, she has to wash her neck clean, not afraid that her head will fall to the ground, but she is worried about dirty other people's knives. ”

"It is precisely because you and I have been born and died together that I have come to ask you."

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

"Yes. Lin heavy rain. I always felt that Grandma Mei and star fruit were killed by him. ”

"You see, a lot of times you don't need a real reason to kill someone."

The big camphor tree in front of the house and behind the house went dark first. Without Fu Langxi's orders, Ziyu had already put out a few decent dishes. Fu Langxi was about to invite Dong Chongli to take a seat, when Ah Cai flashed in from the door and said again and again that she had already smelled the smell of good food and rice. In order to accompany Dong Chongli, Ah Cai drank a lot of wine. Speaking of which, most of them are drunk for others, Ziyu wants to toast Dong Chongli, Ah Cai immediately said that Fu Langxi's return may make Ziyu pregnant with a child, so the wine should be less wet. Fu Langxi wanted to toast Dong Chongli, and Ah Cai said again, regardless of whether Fu Langxi's lung problem was broken or not, in order to let Ziyu conceive a child as soon as possible, this wine could only wet her lips. Coupled with Dong Chongli's return, Ziyu and Fu Langxi's wine almost all let Ah Cai drink alone. When he seemed to be drunk, Ah Cai affectionately called Dong Chongli's name, hoping that he would never leave again this time, and be the backbone of the independent brigade together with Fu Langxi. Francis didn't go on with this. Ziyu sent Ah Cai back to the house to rest, but he still only advised Dong Chongli not to risk his work.

In the depths of heaven overlooking the gate of heaven, for a while, the two of them suddenly didn't know what to say. Fu Langxi then invited Dong Chongli to come back very decisively, as Ah Cai had predicted a long time ago: "I can only rest assured that you will command the independent brigade." ”

Dong Chongli suddenly felt that his heart had been looted like never before, and only a piece of dead branches and leaves remained. He was still hesitating, and suddenly decided: "I am the head of a county, and there is no reason not to report to my boss." Francis didn't force him anymore.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it looks like snow is about to fall. One day, Ah Cai shouted loudly in the middle of the night: "Mr. Dong! Mr. Dong! Ziyu, who was getting up at night, heard Ah Cai talking in her sleep, and couldn't help but wake up Fu Langxi. Fu Langxi said: "Thinking about it day and dreaming at night, does she have thoughts about Dong Chongli?" "That's right, you should have noticed that when Ah Cai looked at Dong Chongli, his eyes were brighter than the stars before dawn." Fu Langxi didn't say anything at the time, and when she woke up in the morning, before she had time to remember the events of the night, Ah Cai reported outside that she was going to take a few people down the mountain as soon as possible.

Ah Cai said that he would go, and it was completely inevitable to make a small woman lose her temper when she lived a peaceful life. With Ziyu on the side to persuade him, Fu Langxi was not particularly annoyed. The appearance of Ah Cai after returning from the mountain made the only bit of anger that Fu Ranci had extinguished. For Fu Langxi, the news brought back by Ah Cai was both good and bad: Dong Chongli was really removed, and Dong Chongli's life and death after the removal were unknown. Fu Langxi secretly complained in his heart, Dong Chongli did not return, and the plan to stick to heaven, clamp down on all kinds of armed forces of the people, and strengthen his own team had to adopt other strategies. Ah Cai said with red eyes that Grandma Mei called Brigade Commander Feng, and Brigade Commander Feng said that he did not kill Dong Chongli, and he did not know where the person was. There was no need for Brigade Commander Feng to hide it in front of Grandma Mei. Thinking that Dong Chongli was just a small storyteller back then, Liu Zimo, who was tossed step by step to the point where his hands and eyes were all over the sky, spoke for him, and even removed him from the post of county magistrate, he had to report to the upper levels, and if he really wanted to take his life, wouldn't he want to drive Dabie Mountain as a flock of sheep. In this kind of matter, Grandma Mei especially believed in Fu Langxi's judgment, and she asked Duan Sanguo to go to heaven to ask Fu Langxi for advice. Fu Langxi was not ambiguous at all, pointing to the cloudy southwest direction and made his own assertion: "Mr. Dong must have gone to Wuhan, just like he fled from the independent brigade back then, and wanted to find out the current situation in Wuhan." Seeing that Ah Cai didn't believe it, Fu Langxi said again: "I will support you when the sky falls, if Mr. Dong does not go to Wuhan, I will be responsible for compensating you for a big living person." ”

Fu Ranci's words were so powerful that everyone agreed. Dong Chongli had already been out once, and he had been out for a few years, but no one invited him, so he came back alone. Tianmen is a good place, Xiaodaobei has the ability but does not destroy it, and the dog head found Hubei all the way from Guangxi, so he chose to arrange his daughter here. Therefore, regardless of whether there is a result or not, Dong Chongli will return to the gate of heaven.

During the time when waiting for Dong Chongli, Ah Cai always liked to pull Ziyu to find a place where no one was under a big tree or behind a rock to talk, sometimes they were smiling, sometimes crying.

In order to show respect for Ziyu, Fu Langxi never asked Ziyu what she was doing with Ah Cai. When she is in a good mood, Ziyu will say: "I will follow you in this life, no matter what others do, I can't look down on you." "Will there come a day when you hate me and want me to go far?" If he said the latter sentence, Ziyu would definitely be in a bad mood. Once, when Fu Langxi was taking off the last piece of clothing on his body for Ziyu, Ziyu, who was facing away from him, suddenly turned around and hugged him tightly, as if he would be separated if he didn't. Fu Langxi also lost control and said impulsively: "I know, Ah Cai has been discussing with you about divorcing Hang Jiufeng all these times. Ziyu was shocked at first, and then admired it so much: "That's the case, Ah Cai wants to learn from me, and she also divorces Hang Jiufeng." Ziyu's words of advice to Ah Cai made Fu Langxi very satisfied: "I told Ah Cai that Hang Jiufeng is not an ordinary person, he has the ability to turn the world upside down. Eyebrows to eyes, mouths to hearts, Jin Se to Yaoqin, night fishing to morning ploughing, thousands of sorrows to a drunk, tiger roar to the dragon, as long as they are born to be a pair, even if they want to dismantle, they can't be dismantled. To put it more bluntly, how was the leprosy on Ah Cai's head diagnosed? It wasn't Hang Jiufeng who took her to participate in the riot, at that time, all the people in the Xue family were dead, and she might not be able to survive her life! Now that she has a wig, it seems to be a good thing on the surface, but if she forgets her bottom line, then a good thing will become a bad thing. The husband and wife hugged each other and slept until they woke up, and Ziyu gently told Fu Langxi that she felt a very small thing take root in her stomach. After Fu Lanxi was happy for a while, he continued the unfinished words of the night: "Keep persuading Ah Cai until she dispels her idea of divorce." Can't let her do that, shaking Hang Jiufeng is shaking the heart of the army. ”

"If she is determined to divorce and doesn't agree to her, she will be in trouble."

"As long as you don't mutiny, it doesn't matter if something gets into trouble."

Ziyu tactfully passed Fu Langxi's words to Ah Cai. Ah Cai is like a bamboo that opens up the joints from his mouth to his heart, and when the wind blows, it whines: "When the divorce is good, it can enhance its combat effectiveness." ”

"You have to think about it, and it's best to wait for the man you like to say something that jingles on the ground before you can open it." Ziyu, who is also a woman and has a divorce experience, used the skills she had practiced to make Ah Cai promise to stay for the time being.

Snow falls and melts, and then falls and melts, and then melts and falls. On average, there are three snowfalls at the gate of heaven throughout the year. Then spring came. As the seasons changed, Ma Harrier left Zhongjieling with the Self-Defense Force and returned to Tianmen to station. The spring breeze that rises from the West River blows down the hillside into heaven one by one. Ah Cai became more and more fond of taking people down the mountain to reconnoitre, and occasionally he would get into the gate of heaven and sit at the table of the Duan family to have a meal with a town, although Ma Harrier did not show any difficulty, Fu Langxi still had to criticize Ah Cai harshly, this kind of risk was too cost-effective. Fu Langxi knew that Ah Cai's motive for doing this was to a large extent for Dong Chongli, but it was difficult to say.

On this day, the camphor tree recess was covered by thick clouds, and the women did not want their hair to be wet by the tiny droplets of water in the clouds, so they hid in the house and did not dare to go out. Worried about an accident, Fu Ranci personally went to several important sentry posts to check. Halfway through, he heard the sentry shout from deep in the mist, and the answer was so familiar. Fu Langxi hurriedly greeted him, and pulled Dong Chongli, who was standing in the crack of the clouds, to the depths of heaven.

"I said a long time ago that Mr. Dong will come back, and the Independent Brigade is the home he built with one hand and one foot!"

Ziyu stared at Ah Cai, who was too excited, worried that she was about to divorce Hang Jiufeng. Fortunately, Ah Cai still knows how to measure proportions, and he only said that Dong Chongli can come back, which is really happy. Dong Chongli took the initiative to speak, asking Fu Langxi to get some wine, and he wanted to get drunk before resting. After a short time, the wine was scalded and the dishes were served. After drinking about two taels of wine, Dong Chongli slammed his wine glass: "The things in the world are too paradoxical, and it is difficult for people to say that they are unfair." ”

"Isn't it the head of a county? With your talent you should be a governor. "I would have thought that Fu Langxi would guess what Dong Chongli meant.

"In the words of Tianmen, the county magistrate counts as an egg. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it just by hearing from others. Kazuko Kojima not only didn't die, but also lived with Liu Zimo. Liu Zimo lived in the former house of Mei's grandmother in Xian'an Fang, and a black car was parked at the door all day long, and when Liu Zimo went out, he must have sat in the car. The reason why I waited so long was because I wanted to meet Liu Zimo. From beginning to end, the Japanese only gave me a little chance, and Liu Ziwen couldn't help me, only said that Liu Zimo likes to eat soup dumplings with the beauty of the old four seasons, I deliberately went to the soup dumpling shop to wait for him, there were more than a dozen times before and after, and there was only one time when I saw the above, that is, I looked at each other, and my lips couldn't move. I talked to Mr. Liu several times at his house, but I couldn't say a word because the Japanese were eavesdropping. Liu Ziwen asked questions first, and then I listened. Liu Zimo did not cooperate with the Japanese, but only carried out daily weather forecasts. Liu Ziwen said that in fact, Liu Zimo had long wanted to escape, and he was afraid that after he left, there would be other meteorologists who would provide meteorological information to the Japanese, and it would be self-defeating. I waited and waited in Wuhan, but Liu Zimo still didn't do anything. It was Liu Ziwen's words that reminded me, and it was not necessarily a bad thing to let Liu Zimo stay for a while. A long remark made a few people who were surprised slowly calm down.

"You said all these things to Grandma Mei and Xue Ning?" "You think I'm going to do this?" Dong Chongli said to Fu Langxi that he came directly to Zhangshuwa along the right bank of the West River, "I didn't show up at the gate of heaven, I don't know how to say this to them." ”

Ziyu whispered, this kind of thing makes the woman the most sad, but she can't just say it if she wants to: "Kazuko Kojima is not dead, what should Xue Ling do?" ”

"Maybe that's a good thing!" What Ah Cai said was different, "Whether Liu Zimo can be vulgar or not, and whether there is any difference between what he does and Jiufeng, we have to look down." ”

"As long as Liu Zimo doesn't come back, don't tell the Xue family about it. And don't let anyone but us know about it. ”

Hearing Fu Langxi sighing, Ziyu hurriedly diverted the topic, from the perspective of women, Kojima Kazuko committed suicide by throwing herself into the sea but did not die, so that she wished to reunite with Liu Zimo, which was also her blessing. After drinking, everyone continued to sigh for a while, and Fu Langxi looked at Ziyu and Ah Cai with wide eyes. The two of them retreated out the door in amusement.

There are two people left, Fu Langxi bluntly helped Dong Chongli analyze, this trip, from leaving to coming back, he came to Zhangshuwa, saying that the discussion was similar, and the announcement was also successful, anyway, it can show that he still cares about the independent brigade in his heart. Since the county magistrate won't let him be the commander, why not come back and be the commander! When Dong Chongli went to the Eastern Hubei Travel Office to report on his work, Fu Langxi received an order to settle all the matters in hand as soon as possible and prepare to go to his new post. Because he was waiting for Dong Chongli, Fu Langxi specially handed over a report, hoping to give him more time to prepare, so as to ensure that he dragged it out until Dong Chongli came back. For a period of time, the Independent Brigade did not clash with the ** Army and the Self-Defense Forces, nor did it take the initiative to attack the Japanese or be swept away by the Japanese. As soon as the gun goes off, it is clear whether it is friend or foe, knife to knife and gun to gun. In this situation, it is difficult for Ah Cai and others to be at ease, and if they are not careful, they will fall into a situation from which they will never recover. After thinking about it, I had to ask Dong Chongli to come back and command this team. The words were all said by Fu Langxi, and Dong Chongli did not express his position until the end, giving him three days before making a decision.

Three days passed, and Dong Chongli asked for another three days. In fact, Dong Chongli thought about it for three or three days.

"I can stay, on the condition that this team can only fight the Japanese."

"No problem, that's exactly what I think, only in this way can I preserve my strength."

In the evening of the same day, at the closing ceremony of the Independent Brigade, Fu Langxi announced that Dong Chongli would be the commander, and Ah Cai would be the deputy political commissar acting as the administrative commissar: "Everyone understands the depth of my feelings for the Independent Brigade. I entrust the Independent Brigade to Mr. Dong, and at the same time ask that you obey Mr. Dong as you obey me. In this extremely complex situation, only Mr. Dong can lead everyone to the victory we want in our hearts along the established plan. Speaking of affection, Francie's voice trembled.

Completely opposite to Fu Langxi, Dong Chongli was unusually calm between his eyebrows: "I have left everyone, and today I am back." ”

Ninety-nine

When the swallow red bloomed, Dong Chongli began to plan to rescue Liu Zimo. There are many remote places in the Paradise area, and Dong Chongli has to choose a few places every day that are convenient for meditation, and the more he thinks about it, the tighter his brows are locked. "Mr. Dong has not fought for a long time, and he has regarded Wuhan as a tiger's den in Longtan." Ah Cai persuaded him to make a decision immediately, "Don't be blinded, forget that there is also a dark light under the lamp." After thinking about it for a few more days, Dong Chongli finally expressed his worries: "I don't want to wipe out all the independent brigades because of rescuing Mr. Liu." Ah Cai no longer hinted sideways, but bluntly asked Dong Chongli to believe that he would be of the same heart and mind with him in many things: "Don't think that we don't understand the real motive for you to return to the Independent Brigade, Mr. Fu ordered when he left, you will definitely take the team to Wuhan to rescue Mr. Liu, and he wants me to cooperate with you well." Ah Cai said that the method she thought of for a while, there was no need to mobilize all the troops of the independent brigade, twenty people were enough, choose a man and a woman to dress up as a husband and wife, and rent a house near Xian'an Fang through the tailor Deng of the cheongsam shop. The rest of the people are ready to respond on the main roads at the gate of Huitian, and they can take Liu Zimo out of Wuhan when they see the opportunity to kill the two Japanese spies guarding the gate. "It's a perfectly good idea if you don't kill people." Dong Chongli stared into Ah Cai's eyes and agreed to use her vision as the basic policy of this operation.

"Who is playing husband and wife with whom?"

"Of course it's you and me."

Dong Chongli asked simply, and Ah Cai replied even more simply, as if just one more word would reveal some kind of flaw.

Wave after wave of swallows bloomed all over the mountains. Ah Cai, who was wearing a wig, came down from the depths of heaven and went to sit in the snow house for a while. Grandma Mei said sincerely: "This kind of Ah Cai is so cute! Ah Cai went to Duan San Country to visit a county. Yixian didn't dare to admit it at first, and then pounced on him like a man likes beautiful women, saying that when he grows up, he must find a woman as beautiful as Ah Cai as his wife.

A purple swallow red plant left its place of growth and followed Ah Cai and Dong Chongli, who were pretending to be husband and wife, to Wuhan. With the joy of not seeing her for many years, Ah Cai stood in front of the bustling streets and alleys, and a long-lost reunion arose. When he arrived at Tailor Deng's cheongsam shop, Dong Chongli smoothly said the words of Grandma Mei, which had been made up in advance. The enthusiastic tailor Deng soon rented a suitable house for them. Dong Chongli didn't care about settling himself, so he first placed the swallow red that had been carefully maintained along the way on the windowsill facing the street.

Tailor Deng has already made a few trips back and forth, asking them to go outside and taste a few famous dishes from Wuhan. Ah Cai said, "Let's go eat soup dumplings!" Tailor Deng smiled and squinted, he found that Ah Cai's figure is excellent, although the beauties in Xian'an Fang are like clouds, with the eyes of a tailor, most people still need to use the length of the ruler to cover up the lack of body with the change of clothes, even the love of the year can not be compared with Ah Cai: "As long as you don't dislike it, I am willing to give you a cheongsam." Ah Cai and Dong Chongli said a few polite words, but they didn't take it seriously. The three of them went out and walked slowly to the old Sijimei soup dumpling shop, passing by Liu Zimo's residence, Tailor Deng whispered that this small building was Mei's grandmother's, the small building at that time was like a plane tree, and the people who came and went were all phoenixes. None of the doors and windows of the small building were open, and there was a faint smell of decoction in the wind blowing down from the upper floor. Tailor Deng knew that Liu Zimo had already married Xue Ning, and when he talked about the Japanese woman who suddenly appeared in the small building four months ago, there was a lot of dissatisfaction in his words: "Japanese women can only look at their faces, and they can also look at their waists, I have lived in Wuhan for so many years, to put it mildly, Japanese women all look like bantam pigs." I can't figure out why Mr. Liu has to be entangled with Japanese women. Once, he came to me and asked me if I could make a few cheongsams for that Japanese woman, and I didn't dare to think that when the cheongsam was worn on this Japanese woman, I would lose my reputation for craftsmanship. No better than your wife, if you can wear a cheongsam made by me, it is to grow my face, even if it is a sticker, I am willing. With Tailor Deng's words, Ah Cai is much more confident, and he has to straighten his chest and flash his waist with every step. When she entered the old Sijimei soup dumpling shop, she stood for a while longer and did not sit in her chair in time.

Tailor Deng asked for three catties of soup dumplings. He said: "I rarely go out to the restaurant, and when you come, you just have an excuse to beat yourself up." After a few words, the topic turned to Liu Zimo, and I don't know if Liu Zimo likes to eat or that Japanese woman likes to eat, it is no more than five days, and it is no more than three days, and the two of them are going to go here. Tailor Deng regarded Ah Cai and Dong Chongli as countrymen, and he had to boast in front of them about everything: "Speaking of which, the soup dumplings here are still famous after being angry, because the nephew is not sensible, and he started the same business next door, and when the uncle was angry, he invited a master surnamed Xu from Nanjing to boil skin soup, make skin jelly, chop meat filling, and then wrap it into steamed buns, and steam it with that breath to the top, everything looks the same as the nephew's side, but the taste in the mouth is very different." The same is true for wearing cheongsam. ”

Tailor Deng was still about to speak, and a Japanese man in a military uniform came in at the door, asking for three catties of soup dumplings in a loud voice. It just so happened that the three-pound soup bun that Tailor Deng asked for was out of the cage, and the Japanese came over and politely asked Tailor Deng to give way. Tailor Deng was not reluctant at all when he agreed, but as soon as the Japanese left, he scolded in a low voice. After saying too many ugly things, Tailor Deng finally sighed and told Ah Cai and Dong Chongli that this guy was guarding the door for Mr. Liu and the Japanese woman.

Because he was preempted by others, the guy from the soup dumpling shop came to apologize, and by the way, he also expressed his doubts. Liu Zimo and the Japanese woman have always wanted to come in person, one pound of soup dumplings per person, eat them and then leave. If one of them is sick and can't move, why do they ask for an extra pound of soup dumplings? "Is that Japanese woman's name Kazuko Kojima?" After the three catties of soup dumplings came up for the second time, Ah Cai's casual question attracted the surprised eyes of Tailor Deng. Dong Chongli hurriedly explained that that year Kazuko Kojima went to the gate of heaven to see Liu Zimo, and everyone in the town knew the name of this Japanese woman. Tailor Deng didn't ask any more questions, but carefully ate the soup dumplings, and after taking a bite of the soup dumplings that ran around in his mouth, Tailor Deng no longer talked like before.

After eating the first meal in Wuhan, after the Deng tailor, who had exhausted the friendship of the landlord, retired at the door of their so-called house, Ah Cai, who was called his wife, suddenly blushed and turned his back and did not dare to look at Dong Chongli. Dong Chongli didn't look at her either, he turned out the drum and drum board from the objects he carried, touched and touched, wiped and wiped, and it took a long time to make the first drum sound.

The Chenqiao Mutiny started the smoke wind, and at the end of the fifty-three years of the five dynasties, Kuang Yin was called the Great Song Dynasty. Kuang Yin was born in the Jiama camp, Zhaozhou should dream of the world's peace, met Chen En selling carved bows, the dragon and tiger met the hero, and was murdered in the Goolan courtyard, traveled to Hebei, went to the eastern part of the country, Zhouqiao formed a righteous dragon and a dragon, Mulan closed and met Hantong, Qianli had sent Jingniang, good gambling, drunken madness, he was very different from the first king.

The sound of storytelling wafted out of the humble room, and the darkened windows of Grandma Mei's small building, which had changed owners, were lit up again. Soon after the figure of a woman in pajamas appeared, Ah Cai whispered to the figure of a man who was also wearing pajamas: "This Liu Zimo actually slept in the same room with Kazuko Kojima!" "Dong Chongli is still telling stories." Men say change! In the past, he was deceived into heaven, a man and a woman were locked together, but he did not marry Xue Ning. Even if someone forces him today, it shouldn't be like this! ”

Ah Cai was in a good mood, she boiled some water, closed the door and washed herself, and then said to Dong Chongli: "After running around for many days, you can rest earlier." Dong Chongli, who no longer told the story, replied with a no-brainer hum. Facing the bath water that Ah Cai prepared for him, Dong Chongli said, "You go to sleep first!" Ah Cai nodded shyly, but refused to enter the room. After urging her several times, she said that a woman can only go to bed in front of a man unless she is too sick to move. "You go to sleep first, I want to practice storytelling, and I will go to the Spring Garden in two days, although it is to make a show and make a cover, but I don't want them to laugh at me for being indiscriminate." Ah Cai promised to sleep first, but tossed and turned on the bed, getting up and putting the two pillows together, and then separating them, one at the end of the bed and one at the head of the bed. The intermittent movement did not affect Dong Chongli, and the melodious storytelling made the window on the small building not far away bright and dark, dark and bright. Ah Cai reminded that Dong Chongli's story must have been heard by Liu Zimo, so he was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and it would not be good if he was detected by the spies guarding the door.

Dong Chongli followed Ah Cai's meaning, put away the drum and drum board, extinguished the light, took out one from a pair of pillows placed by Ah Cai on the bed and put it on the pedal in front of the bed, and slept on it. The night sky in Hankou is always dark, and the yellow light of the street lamps shines through the room, illuminating the unusual movement in the air. Dong Chongli didn't think much about it, and fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long it took, Ah Cai stretched out his hand from inside the mosquito net and woke up Dong Chongli: "Tailor Deng is calling you outside!" ”

When Dong Chongli turned over, he fell to the ground solidly, but fortunately, the pedal was only half a step high, so he couldn't hurt anyone. Dong Chongli walked to the window and looked, and sure enough, it was Tailor Deng standing outside. "Be intimate when you sleep, the Japanese are very good, and they always check on foreign guests like you in the middle of the night, as long as you find that you don't look like a husband and wife, don't say a word when you arrest someone." After saying this, Tailor Deng left.

Dong Chongli suddenly came to his senses and slowly walked back to the bed. "Tailor Deng has seen our flaws." "It's just that you take yourself too seriously, thinking that everyone else is a fluttering hair." Ah Cai lifted the mosquito net, revealing the looming body inside the thin clothes, "Don't worry, I'm not a widow who died at the age of twenty, and stayed dry until the age of thirty." "That's the only way, or where in the world do you have different dreams in the same bed." Dong Chongli was heartbroken, sat on the edge of the bed, and pushed Ah Cai to ask her to sleep in the bed. "Women just want to take up more space in bed." Dong Chongli understood what Ah Cai meant, he didn't think about it, and slept peacefully until dawn on the bed where he could touch the tender, fragrant and soft body of a woman with a slight movement.

As soon as the two of them were dressed, Tailor Deng came again: "In order to make this cheongsam, I didn't sleep all night." ”

Tailor Deng shook off the burden in his hand, and a cheongsam full of silk fragrance fluttered in front of him like a cloud, "Walking in the three towns of Wuhan, people and clothes match well, your wife looks so outstanding, if you don't wear a cheongsam, maybe you will get into trouble one day." Tailor Deng asked Ah Cai to go back to the room and change into a cheongsam for him to see, and if it was not suitable, it could be modified. Ah Cai was not polite, he really put the cheongsam on his body, and twisted his waist in front of Dong Chongli and Tailor Deng. "That's right, don't hide it from the two of you, the cheongsam I made is like a letter of appointment from the people, women wear it on the street, and those messy men don't dare to think of crooked ideas. It is said that it is reasonable, but it is not reasonable, ordinary people can't afford to make such a cheongsam, and those who can make this kind of cheongsam are certainly not ordinary people. I'm not saying this to ask you for money. Yesterday I made it clear that this cheongsam is for you. One is the introduction of Grandma Mei, which is a good person I have not met in the second place; Second, my wife's good figure can be met but not sought, and it is my luck that I met it. A good woman with a good man, a good horse with a good saddle, and all my life as a tailor, I look forward to making a cheongsam for a woman like my wife. As long as you are willing to tell others that this dress was made by Tailor Deng, you will give me a great reward. ”

Ah Cai was embarrassed to take off the cheongsam, but Tailor Deng hurriedly stopped: "Don't take it off if you put it on, and you have to go out for a walk around after breakfast." When someone asks how much this cheongsam costs, you just need to stretch out two fingers and draw it. ”

Ah Cai thought it was two silver dollars. Ah Cai, who learned that this gesture represented twenty silver dollars, and had spent money like water, was not small.

The bed quilt and pillows used at night have not yet had time to be tidied up, and the strange smell of men and women living in the same room makes the room look very messy. Tailor Deng saw all this, and only said when he was about to go out: "Now I am relieved." Don't be afraid, a young man and woman who died in the area of Sanyang Road last month said that they were husband and wife, and when the Japanese broke into the door in the middle of the night, one slept on the bed and the other slept on the ground, and the woman who pretended to be his wife was still a virgin when she was raped by the Japanese. We can't tell if it's true or not, but it's all Japanese anyway. ”

Ah Cai made breakfast and brought it to the table, holding the chopsticks but not moving his mouth. Dong Chongli understood what she was thinking, and was about to go out after eating the things in her bowl three times and two times, when she suddenly heard someone asking outside the door, "Is there anyone at home?" ”

Dong Chongli glanced at Ah Cai, and Ah Cai also glanced at him, although they didn't say it, they had already guessed that Kojima Kazuko was coming. Dong Chongli was in front, Ah Cai was behind, and the two cautiously walked to the door, and it was indeed Kazuko Kojima who appeared in front of them.

Kazuko Kojima pointed to the swallow red on the windowsill. "This flower belongs to yours?"

"It's on the wild mountain, we just dug it back." Ah Cai's Q&A made Dong Chongli worry that Kazuko Kojima would continue to ask.

"Zimojun has been saying these days that the swallows in the mountains must be all open." Kazuko Kojima's lips moved a few times, and her hands reached out to the swallow red, gently stroking the purple halo edge, "He also said that he must take me to see this swallow red with a purple halo." I thought it was coaxing to make me happy, but I didn't expect it to be such a wonderful swallow red. ”

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Kojima Kazuko's stupid appearance moved both Ah Cai and Dong Chongli. "We often see this kind of swallow red in the countryside, unlike in the city, which is a rare thing."

"I have to ask Zimojun. He went to the Ministry of Meteorology and couldn't come back until after dark. ”

"Since it's a husband and wife, what you like, how can he not like it."

Kazuko Kojima's hands swam in swallow red for a while, but finally hesitantly retracted it. Ah Cai was willing to give up, and hugged Yan Zihong and stuffed it into Kojima and Zizi's arms. Kazuko Kojima stretched out her hands to protect her inconspicuous abdomen like a watermelon. Ah Cai didn't use her strength, looking at Kojima Kazuko's weak appearance, she proposed that Dong Chongli help send Yanzihong to her house. Kazuko Kojima didn't refuse again, she led the way in front and soon arrived at the small building. As the closed door was opened, a Japanese soldier flashed out, and the two men spoke a few words in Japanese. The Japanese soldier took Yanzihong from Dong Chongli's hand and followed Kojima Kazuko into the house. The door was closed tightly, Ah Cai and Dong Chongli did not regret it, after leaving the small building, the two looked at each other and smiled.

100

The first step was to remind Liu Zimo that his purpose had been achieved, and the two of them happily went to the Spring Garden. "If you become the pillar of the Spring Garden, it will not be easy to return to the gate of heaven." "Don't worry about it, I'll be happy, what I believe in the most is that Luoyang is not as good as home." While laughing, Ah Cai stuffed his arm into the crook of Dong Chongli's arm. Dong Chongli tried to earn it. "You look at other people." Ah Cai doesn't say this, Dong Chongli will also pay attention to the fact that men and women who can dress up like them are not pairs of opponents holding hands and swaggering through the market. The road from Xian'an Fang to Chun Man Yuan is neither long nor short, and from time to time there are men in rickshaws and women walking like Ah Cai turning their heads to look at them, some of them with strange eyes. It wasn't until they entered the Spring Garden and listened to the words of the second boss that they understood that those people regarded Ah Cai as the aunt of a rich or powerful person who eloped with her lover.

The second boss of Chunmanyuan has long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of artists in the rivers and lakes, and as soon as they met, they had to listen to Dong Chongli's best storytelling.

King Wutai of the Song Dynasty lowered the incense, and after Xiao in the north, he plotted more, trapped the Song King and wanted to be in the country, Yang Ye was loyal to Li Lingbei, and the father and son were in chaos, Yang Yanping, Yang Yanding, the spear and short sword were two sections, Yang Yanzhao stepped on the horse like mud, Shilang Yang Yanlang, recruited for the horse Youzhou trapped, Wulang Yang Yande, afraid of death and cut Wutai Mountain, Liulang Yang Yanjing, retreated Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, Qilang Yang Yansi, and shot the Guazhou shore with random arrows. The earth-shattering overlord Yang Zongbao broke the Northern Tianmen Array, Wen Guang conquered Western Xia, and the twelve widows returned victoriously. Lord Song listened to slander, but he looked at his loyal ministers coldly. It is difficult to invite the Yang family again.

The second boss didn't say anything, but when he handed over the package of favors according to the rules, he insisted on not accepting it. At this point, it doesn't matter if you can tell a story in Chunmanyuan, the key to the matter has become Dong Chongli's storytelling, and the people in Wuhan City don't look down on it. Ah Cai was anxious: "Listen to me." She asked Dong Chongli to beat the drum, held the drum board herself, raised her voice, and sang loudly a storytelling hat that had nothing to do with the rise and fall of the Han nation.

"After eating lunch, it was dull, and I wanted to hit a golden hairpin to send my lover. Hankou, Jiangbei invites goldsmiths, and Wuchang, Jiangnan receives capable people. One dozen moths in the sky, two dozen moons with moon stars, three dozen yellow dragons to bathe, four dozen sunbirds to make five watches, five dozen seven sisters in the sky, and six dozen intersecting two people. Six kinds of golden hairpins were made, and they were dressed up and sent to their lovers. Two climbed up the plane tree and stepped on the bauhinia window with one foot. The young lady scolded the scholar at first sight: The door of my house is strictly prohibited, open the front door golden rooster crow, open the back door phoenix sound. The scholar was busy agreeing outside, I poured four taels of tung oil, opened it with my left hand and didn't make a sound, and opened it with my right hand without making a sound, bent on making a relationship with my sister. The young lady scolded the little scholar again, there is a spotted dog in my house, it bites and eats raw people, and you give the golden hairpin to others. The scholar was busy outside, as long as my sister has a good heart, I will dig a pot of porridge, and the good dog will not bite his family. Miss is still just scolding, my parents are so strict, dust is sprinkled on the pedals, copper bells are installed in the corners of the four beds, and you can't turn over up and down, left and right. The scholar was busy agreeing outside, I weighed a pound of cotton, a copper bell plugged four taels, four copper bells plugged a catty, and the world was turned upside down and there was no sound. The more the young lady scolded, the more energetic she became, there are many brothers and sisters in my family, nine brothers, nine sisters, nine brothers, nine sisters, and thirty-six family protectors. The scholar was busy agreeing, I weighed the rock sugar brown sugar, my brothers and sisters gave eight taels, my younger brothers and sisters gave half a catty, and the big and small mouths were closed. The young lady scolded so much that she had to agree to open the door, the snail turned to the top, the water was in the cool garden, the ivory bed, the mandarin duck pillow, she picked flowers and drank fragrant tea, and the embroidery room was booked for life. ”

At the end of the song, many people gathered at the door shouted in unison.

The second boss was also happy, and immediately handed over the envelope handed over by Dong Chongli to Ah Cai, not a prepaid deposit, but a congratulatory money. Then began to discuss how to share dividends between the two sides if Ah Cai became popular within a month. The meaning of the second boss is not ambiguous at all, Dong Chongli's storytelling is not what those who often come to Spring Manyuan like to hear. Ah Cai is different, the appearance and voice are like flowers and red with rain, swallows dancing and singing, and then using the three electric lights on the stage, someone will buy a ticket if you don't listen to the story. At the end of the negotiation, the second boss called Dong Chongli aside to ask about Ah Cai's life experience. The second boss is not afraid that Ah Cai is the wife of a rich man, nor is he afraid that Ah Cai is the goddaughter of the gang boss, but he is only worried that Ah Cai escaped from the arms of a powerful man. The second boss believes that Ah Cai eloped for three reasons: first, they don't look like ordinary couples when they appear in crowded occasions, especially Dong Chongli always looks nervous; the second is that Ah Cai always takes the initiative when it comes to showing their relationship, which is exactly what happens when she is a wife and gets along with other men, and her aunt is always bolder than the man who seduces her; The third is the cheongsam sewn by Tailor Deng himself, which costs twenty silver dollars to make a dress, and only a woman who is an aunt's wife would spend so lavishly. The second boss called Ah Cai aside again and asked again, but Ah Cai did not admit to eloping. Under the stalemate, the second boss asked them to go back and think about it, there were nine women who eloped with men before and after Chunmanyuan, as long as Ah Cai explained the situation of her in-laws, their experience would become a beautiful conversation in the three towns of Wuhan, attracting more people to cheer for her. With such a promise from the second boss, whether Ah Cai and Dong Chongli can enter the Spring Garden to tell stories or not, they can use it as a cover to deal with the Japanese before rescuing Liu Zimo. The second boss regarded Ah Cai and Dong Chongli's other plans as hesitation, and persuaded them in turn that as long as they could perform on stage in Chunmanyuan, others would not easily provoke them. Not to mention that the opening of the theater itself must have a strong backer, those famous actors alone are very powerful, a woman with outstanding looks like A Cai, why worry about not having dignitaries sitting under the stage every day. The more Ah Cai and Dong Chongli said that they would discuss after they went back, the more the second boss refused to let go, and said in one breath that Lao Huibin Lou, who is best at making famous dishes in Chu Township such as Chuyang Three Steamed, the Great China Restaurant, which is good at making all kinds of fish dishes, and the boss Xingyuan, who only makes □ fish superb, etc., let Ah Cai and Dong Chongli choose a place, and tomorrow he will go to Dong and invite them to have a good meal. Ah Cai and Dong Chongli looked at each other and smiled, and invariably chose what the second boss did not mention: "Let's go to the old Sijimei soup dumpling shop!" "Don't save me money, you can't be considered a treat if you eat too much in that kind of place." The second boss still did what they wanted.

The two walked for a long time in the area of the most prosperous Liudu Bridge, saw many street scenes, and let others see enough of the radiant Ah Cai. When it was almost dark, Dong Chongli ordered a few dishes in a nearby tavern, invited Tailor Deng to his residence, and told him how he had met the second boss. Tailor Deng was worried about them, with Ah Cai's posture, if he really showed up in the Spring Garden, he would be annoyed in three days. After a few glasses of wine, Tailor Deng said more bluntly, this kind of trouble will not come from the Japanese, they rarely understand Chinese, and if they want a woman, they will go to a brothel and prostitute **. People who like to play famous corners are their own compatriots, and those traitors who fight with people are okay, once they are entangled by hooligans, the more famous flowers with owners will end up miserable. If this kind of thing happened to them, even if Dong Chongli left Ah Cai to run for his life alone, it would be a blessing not to be unloaded by them and thrown into the Yangtze River in a sack. For those guys, it's called no future.

After Tailor Deng left, he disguised himself as a rickshaw driver and waited for a liaison outside to quietly deliver a few tools for digging holes. Dong Chongli didn't dare to delay, closed the door and began to dig a hole in the house. The land around Xian'anfang is even looser than expected, and digging a hole in the ground until midnight can hide Ah Cai, who has taken off his cheongsam, tightly. Dong Chongli was very happy that he could save the time of digging a hole in the ground, and the operation to rescue Liu Zimo could be advanced.

"Kazuko Kojima looks like she's pregnant." The two of them went to bed like they had done the night before. Ah Cai turned back and forth a few times, and suddenly said on the other end. Dong Chongli thought that he had nothing to say, so he didn't think about it seriously. Ah Cai took it more and more seriously. "Remember what it looked like when we gave her Swallow Red? When the flower pot is far away, she stretches out her hand to protect her lower body, which is a woman's natural ability. In the past, I was pregnant with a county, and the leaves fell in front of me, and I was afraid that my stomach would bulge too high and be accidentally smashed. ”

Dong Chongli cried out bitterly in his heart, this is really the case, so many people came to rescue Liu Zimo from birth to death, the strict guard of the Japanese is not a big problem, and the biggest obstacle is whether Liu Zimo is willing to leave. Seeing that Dong Chongli's eyes were so anxious that his eyes were on fire, Ah Cai wanted to dispel the matter again: "It's impossible to say about this, Kojima Kazuko's face is a little deadly, in case there is something wrong with her, then it will be misunderstood." ”

Hearing this, Dong Chongli really put his mind at ease, thinking that this was just an excuse for Ah Cai to have nothing to say. Sure enough, Ah Cai seemed to change the topic unconsciously, and slowly talked about the things between husband and wife: "I know myself too well, I haven't put down the cigar in my heart to this day, others are a one-day husband and wife, and I am a half-day husband and wife, and the reason why I forced Liu Zimo to marry Xueling is that I don't want to see his daughter ruined by those men who don't want to be in pounds and pounds." Who wants to marry the best man in the world, I have thought about myself for a long time, being with Hang Jiufeng is completely a bad fate, because of what I owe in my previous life and previous life, so I came up with such a debt collection. Following Hang Jiufeng, it's not like being a wife, and it's not like being a little wife. Believe it or not, I'm going to divorce him anyway, I don't know what year, I only know what day it is, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid that after being with him for a long time, it will look better to become a piece of wood, and become a beast, won't it be in vain to come to the world to walk around. Another one is Inspector Deng, whether it is from a woman's point of view or not, my heart is sweet when I think about it during those days, in the end, he is not a man who will only be the king and hegemon in the ravine, no matter what he does, he has an extraordinary bearing when he raises his hands and feet, raises his eyebrows and blinks. If it weren't for Inspector Deng's awakening, he might not have any more thoughts in this life. Inspector Deng let me see clearly, Mai Xiang is happier than me. Ziyu is happier than me, and star fruit is happier than me. To make a revolution is to have happiness, and if there is no happiness, what kind of revolution will there be! So, you must help me get out of this marriage. ”

Ah Cai gently kicked Dong Chongli: "I'm not a dead man, you don't snort in the middle of the night." Am I really inferior to those women? Whether women are good or not is tried, and I haven't tried it, I haven't figured out the ups and downs, the size and the fat and thin, you must not think that I am worse than them! Besides, they are either dead or married, and they can't count on it. In the past, I entered the gate of the snow house with the life of a cigar as my own. It's hard to talk about him anymore when the cigar is dead, what I want most is that there is a person like Mr. Dong who really wants me to be his wife. Over the years, my heart has become a wine cellar, and my feelings for cigars have been brewing like wine in it, as long as there is a man who knows the goods and is willing to open the lid on the cellar, whether it is Yanfu or Hongfu, it is enough for him to enjoy a lifetime anyway. ”

Dong Chongli, who had been gently kicked, slowly fell asleep. Ah Cai, who had found a support, also quietly put a curled foot on him.

Towards dawn, a man pulling a dung cart screamed in the street. Tailor Deng is really a golden mouth, a Hua Dan who sings Chinese opera has just become famous in another theater, and the man who is good with her is chopped off and thrown in a corner of Xian'anfang. Ah Cai, who didn't blink in the face of the rain of bullets, was awakened by the noise outside, and couldn't help but shudder, her body was weak, and she didn't even have the strength to stand by the window and take a look while sitting on the edge of the bed.

"If a woman is too childlike, she will become weak!" Dong Chongli turned around and helped her, and slowly came to a place where he could see the street scene. A few policeman-like men emerged from the growing crowd and began to go from house to house asking if they had heard anything during the night. It didn't take long for them to take their turn. Since I really didn't hear any movement, I finished in a few words. I didn't expect that at this time, when the policeman could still find time to fight in the jungle, he also regarded Ah Cai as someone else's aunt's wife, and asked her why she had a comfortable life, but she had to elope with a man who couldn't see the future: "It's not life, it's not life." It's clouds that don't like clouds, it's fog that doesn't mean fog, love words are the head, who doesn't die of uncertainty! It's better to go back to where to come, although Wuhan is not as good as home, the romance can only be happy for a while, not for a lifetime. ”

"Wuhan is not as good as home, and it is insisted that a good married couple be recognized as a dew couple. In the past, I only saw ghosts, money, and sex, and I was like you, but it was the first time I saw it. If you don't know the details, don't talk nonsense, when most of the things here are stable, we have to go back and pick up our son, as long as the two of you don't talk about yourself at that time. Dong Chongli, who was calm and composed, said that the police who were fighting in the jungle were gloomy.

After calm was restored on the street, Kazuko Kojima, who was holding a swallow red, appeared. Kazuko Kojima's cry startled Ah Cai, who was reminiscing in a daze: "Zimojun asked me to send it back, but he didn't let me ask for your swallow red." ”

"Zimojun is not going to the Meteorological Department today, so he has to stay at home with me."

"Zimojun promised to take me to the old Sijimei soup dumpling shop to eat soup dumplings in the afternoon."

Throughout the day, Ah Cai and Dong Chongli ignored Kazuko Kojima, who should have been important, and only focused on analyzing Liu Zimo's intentions in doing this. Kazuko Kojima, who is dressed in a kimono, makes people look unpleasant, and the pregnancy problem they are concerned about is hidden by this dress without a trace. The weather was very hot in the afternoon, and Ah Cai walked around in front of Dong Zhong in a few clothes. Dong Chongli said that she was so heartwarming, but in fact, there was no other movement except for her gaze. The two people who were eyebrow-raising were safe in a room, and they were all talking about rescuing Liu Zimo. When he went to the old Sijimei soup dumpling shop to go to the second boss's date, Dong Chongli let out a long sigh of exhaustion.

The second boss arrived early, and he didn't ask if the two discussed the results on this day and night, and talked straight to the point about the man who was abandoned in Xian'anfang at night. He said that this kind of thing would only happen to those in the small theater, and that entering the Spring Garden was equivalent to entering a safe, or the back garden of the gendarmerie headquarters. The second boss emphasized that all the artists he fancied could only eat the meals of the Spring Garden, and the other theaters didn't even dare to think about digging the foot of the wall. To deal with the second boss who was bent on pushing Ah Cai onto the stage, Dong Chongli had already thought of a way, just dragged it on, found an opportunity to rescue Liu Zimo, hid in the hole for thirty or fifty days, and then slipped out of the city defense together to see the situation. Dong Chongli said in the same tone as yesterday that the second boss can let himself come on stage to tell stories whenever he wants, and let Ah Cai also be a storyteller who shows his head and has to think about it in the long run. The second boss was very unhappy, and after the soup dumplings came up, he picked up the chopsticks and ate them first. Maybe it was because he bit too hard, and a stream of soup sprayed on Dong Chongli's face. Dong Chongli subconsciously tilted his head, just in time to see Liu Zimo appearing at the door holding Kazuko Kojima's hand.

When the four eyes met, Liu Zimo was stunned, walked to the adjacent table and sat down. Two Japanese men in military uniforms stood at the door and did not follow. Kazuko Kojima looked at them and remained silent like Liu Zimo.

As soon as Kazuko Kojima and Liu Zimo sat down, the guy brought up the three catties of soup dumplings they wanted. Liu Zimo picked up the soup bags with chopsticks and put them into Kazuko Kojima's plate. Kazuko Kojima ate all the two catties of soup dumplings in a blink of an eye, and then changed roles, picking up the remaining soup dumplings one by one and putting them on Liu Zimo's plate. Not only Ah Cai and Dong Chongli, but even the second boss looked at it, and sighed for a while that Kazuko Kojima looked inconspicuous, but her appetite was so good, and for a while she envied that Japanese women were the most suitable for men to be wives in the world.

It is this feeling that makes the second boss no longer force each other step by step, and promises to give Dong Chongli two more ten days, the first ten days to think about Ah Cai's affairs, and the last ten days to think about his own affairs, in short, to think as carefully as possible about Ah Cai's appearance before and after his appearance. An acquaintance of the second boss came over and pointed at Ah Cai and asked, "Is this woman your newly chosen role?" "If you want to watch her play, you have to catch the first three shows, and after three shows, even if I want to leave a seat for you, no one else will agree." The second boss did not hesitate to answer loudly at all, causing the people around to come over to see the strangeness like incense sticks in the temple. Liu Zimo, who was closer, didn't move, he finished eating the soup dumplings, paid the bill, didn't look at Ah Cai and Dong Chongli, took Kojima Kazuko's hand and got up and left.

None of the onlookers did not say good, there is a blank of Ah Cai, once you enter the Spring Garden, it will not take a few days, and then you want to eat soup dumplings, just through a word, someone will drive a car to the door hot. Seeing that this soup dumpling was inedible, the second boss stood up and asked everyone to disperse, and the artist still looked good on stage, one eats and the other looks good, everyone in the world is the same, and it doesn't look good.

A group of people were grinning and about to return to their seats, when a man with a few scars on his face walked into the store and shouted, "Which one is Ah Cai?" Who is Ah Choi? Ah Cai and Dong Chongli hesitated for a moment, and the man pounced. It's too late, it's too late, and the second boss is still saying: "Brother Thirteen, don't mess around!" The man named Brother Thirteen had already stretched out his hand, grabbed Ah Cai's entanglement and waved it violently. With the loss of the wig, the people around him let out loud laughter. "This kind of appearance doesn't need to be on the stage, it will become a famous character!" "Leprosy, dysentery, sharp knife scraping skin!"

The people around were very excited, but the man called Brother Thirteen was disappointed, he said, I didn't expect Ah Cai to be really leprosy, and the silver bracelet that was about to arrive flew again. The second boss stood up, glanced at Ah Cai a few times, and then looked at Dong Chongli a few times, but he couldn't say anything in his heart, he stood stunned for a moment, turned around and left. Someone shouted at him: "Next time, be careful, don't treat the leper woman as a great beauty!" Dong Chongli saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't eat the remaining soup dumplings, so he was going to leave with Ah Cai. The guy who ran the hall chased after him and reminded him that the money for the three catties of soup dumplings had not been paid.

Seeing that the second boss was still in front, Ah Cai shouted sternly: "Come back to me!" ”

The second boss didn't look back at all: "Don't disgust me, I can't even eat hot dry noodles tomorrow morning." ”

"I'm saying that as long as you pay for this soup packet, it won't be recorded in your account. If you don't pay this money, it will be recorded in your book of life and death. ”

Ah Cai said it very fiercely. The second boss finally glanced back: "Lao Tzu is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of drinking leprosy soup." ”

Looking at the second boss who was leaving, Ah Cai took out a handful of money from Dong Chongli's purse, and threw it to the guy who ran the hall without counting: "Give a word to the second boss, no matter how long I wait, I will collect this account." ”

Annoyed and angry, Ah Cai came back from the old Sijimei soup dumpling shop, took the tools and jumped into the hole in the ground, not allowing him to replace it from beginning to end. Ah Cai, who was angry, just desperately dug out the soil, of course Dong Chongli didn't dare to be careless, and sprinkled them into the sewer one after another, and then washed them away with tap water. A hole in the ground that could hide a person was dug, and Ah Cai was so tired that she couldn't think of anything, so she washed it and fell asleep.

After a night, Ah Cai was still in a bad mood. After getting up, he looked at the wig that was placed aside, and suddenly lost his temper and asked Dong Chongli to go outside. Dong Chongli didn't say much, took a big bowl and went out to buy some hot dry noodles and came back. Now Ah Cai was even more angry, obviously hearing that the second boss had hurt her with the words that she couldn't eat hot dry noodles in the morning, and she had to buy it back for breakfast, didn't she deliberately sprinkle chili powder on her wound.

"I did buy hot dry noodles on purpose, but not to hurt you but to help you. I've eaten Yangchun noodles, which are the favorite noodles of Shanghainese, and Dandanmen, which are the favorite of Sichuan people, and the hot dry noodles of Wuhan. In your temperament, it's a spring noodle for a while, and a dan dan noodle for a while, which is not good. Wheat fragrance, star fruit, purple jade, they are like hot dry noodles, smelling and eating, they don't look complicated, and they don't feel complicated to make. Didn't you say that since you live in the same room and sleep in the same bed, you have to get to know each other? As far as I know, you're not like that, to put it mildly, you have to change your face every day, morning, noon and night. ”

Ah Cai was moved by this, took a large bowl, and ate half of the hot dry noodles. Dong Chongli also quietly swept away the remaining hot dry noodles.

One hundred and one

A crunchy clog sound sounded in the street, interrupting Ah Cai's thoughts. Kojima Kazuko came again, she stood still in front of Ah Cai, bowed deeply, and asked apologetically if she could give Yan Zihong to her again, Liu Zimo went to the Meteorological Department again today, there is no one else at home, and only this Yan Zihong can accompany him after thinking about it. Ah Cai didn't think it was inappropriate, and only asked Kazuko Kojima if it was convenient to move this swallow red by herself. Kojima Kazuko thanked him, hugged Yanzihong and left, her longer and longer shadow in the sun was deeply invested in Dong Chongli's heart, and he felt that Kojima Kazuko's behavior was a little strange.

Dong Chongli went out alone and met Tailor Deng at the door of the cheongsam shop. Tailor Deng sighed for the cheongsam. Dong Chongli walked a short distance forward, and a member of the independent brigade dressed as a coachman came up and asked, "Is Mr. in a car?" Dong Chongli got on a rickshaw and came to Chunmanyuan. The second boss obviously heard the words of others, and asked with a face: "Your mother-in-law, what do you want to use to collect my account?" ”

"Don't underestimate us too much, you can't tell what things in the world will look like tomorrow, not to mention that what Ah Cai said is a long time later!" Dong Chongli would not have pleaded, but as soon as these words came out, the second boss stood up to see off the guests. Among the three towns in Wuhan, Hankou has the most theaters, with more than a dozen large and small theaters, and Dong Chongli has run all over the country. Everyone knows that Ah Cai showed his true face in the old Sijimei soup dumpling shop, and they don't listen to Dong Chongli's art of storytelling, and the matter is over after drinking a cup of tea. Dong Chongli did everything he had done to show others, returned to the rickshaw, and whispered to the members of the independent brigade who pulled the cart, the situation was smoother than expected, so the action time may be earlier.

Back at the residence, Dong Chongli told Ah Cai his thoughts, and their motives for staying in Xian'an Fang had been recognized by Kojima Kazuko. Kazuko Kojima returns or wants to leave Swallow Red is an excuse, and the real purpose is to ventilate the news. Ah Cai will be suspicious of this, Kazuko Kojima is definitely not the kind of woman who picks up the bowl and doesn't remember to put it down, Liu Zimo leaves, maybe they will never have a chance to be together again, escape from death, and the happiness obtained by crossing the ocean will disappear.

"People don't know how many dreams they will give birth to in their lives, just like the clouds in Xue Ning's eyes, dangling in the sky, and there are very few that can be grasped. Just like me, I haven't caught one to this day. It's easy to reach out and it's hard to let go! Hearing Dong Chongli say this, Ah Cai retorted: "Grandma Mei didn't say that, you forgot her famous saying: From the perspective of a person, the whole world is full of people, and from the perspective of animals, the whole world is full of animals." ”

At this time, it is a bit heavy to use the words of Grandma Mei. I have an idea, nothing else, just make a bet on it. ”

The stakes Dong Chongli said were simple. If what Kazuko Kojima did was really a tip-off, Ah Cai would stop mentioning the divorce in front of him, and if he really wanted to divorce Hang Jiufeng, he could sue Fu Langxi and them. If his judgment is wrong, it will be the opposite, even if Hang Jiufeng will cause a landslide at the gate of heaven because of this, he will not let others get involved in this divorce case and take responsibility for it himself. Ah Cai said she didn't understand while agreeing: Why is Dong Chongli so reluctant to meddle in her marriage with Hang Jiufeng? Why is Dong Chongli so convinced of a Japanese woman he doesn't know? Dong Chongli answered the latter question first, the key to the development of things to such a point is not his understanding of Kojima Kazuko, but Kojima Kazuko's understanding of Liu Zimo. As long as Kazuko Kojima understands that Liu Zimo still has reluctance to his wife Xue Ling and daughter Xue Lan in his heart, as well as hatred for the criminal acts of the Japanese, and takes the initiative to help Liu Zimo leave Wuhan, which is like a cage, and return to the free and easy gate of heaven, of course, it has become the deepest love. Dong Chongli put off the answer to the previous question that Ah Cai wanted to hear for a long time, not that he was unwilling to meddle in the marriage between Ah Cai and Hang Jiufeng, he had told Fu Langxi a few years ago that this marriage was a disaster for the two of them and everyone at the gate of heaven, and later he understood that this was unavoidable, and disasters were part of these people's lives, just like the West River has left and right banks, and one less bank is not the West River, and like the West River flowing into the ocean, it must pass through the Bailian River, Xishui River, and the Yangtze River, and it is impossible to jump over it in one step. Grandma Mei is right, there is no one without sin in the world. Dong Chongli has been in the art for many years, and he has just understood the essence of the master's storytelling as a painstaking effort to pass on to future generations, looking at the major events that have stirred up the Han nation for thousands of years, he can't admit that any history is based on sin, disaster is a fruit with a bitter taste, but sin is the flower that gives birth to this fruit.

"Just because you are a woman, you don't have to think about anything else, you will definitely lose." Ah Cai happily accepted this gamble, swept away the anger of the past few days, put on a wig, and said the schadenfreude in her heart in a very charming tone.

The sun rose as usual, and Kazuko Kojima floated in. Kojima Kazuko hugged Yanzihong in her arms, and said sorryly, Liu Zimo felt unwell, got up and fell asleep again, she couldn't go to the Ministry of Meteorology today, she was afraid that Liu Zimo would be unhappy when she saw Yanzihong, so she had to send Yanzihong back again. The swallows, which had been rearranged on the windowsill, were shining brightly towards a few women who came out of the cheongsam shop with new clothes. The women passed in front of Yan Zihong, and none of them took a serious look. Flowers that grow in the mountains are only noticeable when they are with the mountains.

"May I ask? What if something happens? Ah Cai whispered. Dong Chongli resolutely asked her to do what was discussed.

"Didn't you say you threw yourself into the sea and died? Have you ever thrown yourself into the sea? ”

"Someone saved me, she is Russian and lived on this street."

"We want to come to your house to see Mr. Liu, is that okay?" After Acai said this, Kazuko Kojima looked at Yan Zihong without blinking.

"Noon! I don't like the two guards who are always at the door. At noon, I managed to get them to sleep so they could get in and out easily. ”

The sun rose higher and higher, and soon it reached the rooftops. Ah Cai and Dong Chongli got into the rickshaw pulled by the members of the Independent Brigade, walked two streets in the opposite direction, and then changed to another rickshaw also pulled by the members of the Independent Brigade, and changed their clothes before going straight to the small building where the target was located.

Kazuko Kojima really understood their intentions and was already waiting behind the door.

"Zimojun is asleep, you take him away!"

"Guards?"

"Also asleep."

Ah Cai walked over and took a look at it uneasily, the Japanese man reclining on the chair just moved, Ah Cai did not hesitate, raised his knife in his hand, and quickly stabbed a sharp dagger into his chest wrapped in an earthy yellow military uniform. Then, with the force of his body's inertia, he pulled out a dagger and slit the throat of the second Japanese.

"They're asleep! I put sleeping pills in the soup. Kazuko Kojima screamed.

"Your medicine is ineffective." Ah Cai couldn't help but say.

Dong Chongli quickly carried the unconscious Liu Zimo downstairs. Kazuko Kojima sadly said that Liu Zimo was her lover, and asked Ah Cai and Dong Chongli not to do any harm to him. After a planned detour, they returned to their quarters, lifted the lid on the hole in the ground, and put the unconscious Liu Zimo inside. By the time the frightening sirens sounded in the streets, the house had already returned to calm.

All kinds of people with all kinds of weapons jumped up and down the street outside the door, and from time to time someone broke in the door and asked some questions that made Ah Cai and Dong Chongli secretly laugh. Ah Cai's short experience in Chun Man Yuan and Lao Si Si Mei soup dumpling shop made them pay attention only to her wig. What made Ah Cai feel embarrassed was the kind of gaze that was not all ill-intentioned. "Are you really wearing a wig?" The man who often brought people to the door for interrogation wanted to take off the wig on Ah Cai's head. "No! Whichever finger dares to move, I will chop off whichever finger! Ah Cai's words provoked a sneer, and as soon as the man waved his hand, the people behind him swarmed up, forcibly took off the wig, threw it on the ground and kicked it around, and kept saying while kicking, Liu Zimo's eyes were really powerful, and he only glanced at the old Sijimei soup dumpling shop, and he dared to bet with the thirteenth brother outside the door that Ah Cai was wearing a wig on his head, and if it wasn't a wig, he would give the silver bracelet worn by Kojima Kazuko to the thirteenth brother. Ah Cai didn't move, Dong Chongli bent down and tried a few times before picking up the wig that was so messy that it could no longer be called a wig. The military and police, who found nothing, quickly expanded the scope of the large-scale search to the periphery of Wuhan, and Dong Chongli also used the excuse of buying a wig for Ah Cai to go to Xian'anfang, which had returned to peace, to listen to the movements.

Seeing that this area was okay, Ah Cai lifted the lid of the hole in the ground and jumped in, raising his slap to Liu Zimo's face and slapping it non-stop. "No wonder, the three towns of Wuhan all know me, it turned out that you said it with your dog's mouth!" Ah Cai's left hand was tired and switched to her right hand, she hated Liu Zimo to death, "I'll let you say it!" If you don't say anything, I'll knock out all your teeth! "Liu Zimo, who has taken sleeping pills, can't even turn over." Ming people don't do dark things, I will say ugly things in front, if Mr. Dong does not handle the divorce between me and Hang Jiufeng, it means that his good impression of me at these times has been erased by your black hand. Kazuko Kojima can love if she wants to, and Xue Ling can love if she wants to, why can't I get it? It's all your superior guys who are doing things wrong with me. When I also run around the street in a car, don't say it's the second boss, it's the big boss, I'm going to too-" Ah Cai drew heavily with his hand on Liu Zimo's numb neck, regardless of whether he reacted or not.

When Dong Chongli came back with his newly bought wig, he only saw Ah Cai standing behind the door. Half a street away, opposite Kazuko Kojima, who was standing behind the window on the second floor. Ah Cai took the initiative to say: "You can see through it, I lost." ”

"It's not over yet. There is a danger that our efforts will be undone. ”

On the last night of May 1940, Liu Zimo had just woken up and turned Dong Chongli's worries into reality. It was already summer in Wuhan, the ground and walls were drenched, and Liu Zimo, who was lying in the hole in the ground, was covered with water beads all over his body, he didn't understand what was going on, and shouted loudly at the glimmer above his head. Hearing the voice, Dong Chongli immediately leaned down and said against the ventilator, "Mr. Liu, we are here to rescue you." The situation is still dangerous, and you have to hide for a few days before finding a chance to get out of the city. The night was a little deeper, and Ah Cai listened behind the window for a long time to confirm that there was nothing abnormal outside, and Dong Chongli released Liu Zimo to breathe.

"I didn't ask for it, why are you doing this?"

Liu Zimo's words surprised Dong Chongli: "Have you forgotten the insults that Grandma Mei suffered?" Think the Japanese aren't cruel enough? You don't want to go back to the gate of heaven, you want to stay here and help the abuse? ”

These words did not impress Liu Zimo, who was like two people in the past. The street lights shining in from the window were scattered in the room, and the faint Liu Zimo didn't need more light. "Mr. Dong, I remember that Xue Ning and Grandma Mei both told you that Tailor Deng's cheongsam shop was first opened by a Russian lady named Natalia. It was she who saved Kazuko Kojima. "The place where Kojima Kazuko threw himself into the sea is the place where he first met Liu Zimo back then, it was a cliff near the sea, and Kojima Kazuko who was raped did not hesitate at all, as if the distant sea under his feet was a big bed that could sleep peacefully for life." At the time, Natalia was playing at sea with several Russian nobles in exile in Japan, and she saw someone fall off a cliff and rushed over. "The resurrected Kojima Kazuko hid until Kojima died at the gate of heaven, and then he had to show up. Over the years, Kazuko Kojima has relied on Natalia's help and help. "The Japanese caught the news of me, and soon it appeared in the newspapers of Tokyo, and in order to come to Wuhan, Kazuko Kojima signed up to be a comfort woman, and spent several months in the Shanghai area, where she was not even as good as an animal, until she found someone willing to carry a letter among the Japanese soldiers who lined up to drill into her house. If you hadn't gotten the news in advance, and you ran into her somewhere by chance, that kind of appearance would have made people think she was a ghost! Although Kazuko Kojima did not die, there are not many days to live. Moreover, she is pregnant. Liu Zimo asked Ah Cai and Dong Chongli not to hide anything from Grandma Mei, Xue Ling and Xue Lan, who already knew a little about personnel, and told them everything truthfully.

"Don't be sentimental, Kazuko Kojima is very open, that's why he helped."

"It's a floating heart, it doesn't need love to put it, and it will die soon."

When Liu Zimo refused to leave Hankou and had to hide, he did not embarrass Dong Chongli.

After a stalemate of two days and two nights, Dong Chongli was moved by compassion. Ah Cai didn't relent: "Why do you want to expose my shortcomings in public?" Why? Remember, I'm a vengeful man, and if you can't give a convincing reason, one day I'll get leprosy on your head. ”

Without waiting for Liu Zimo to speak, Dong Chongli took over the topic first: "Where did this come from!" You and I worked hard, put human ethics aside, risked life and death, came to a place like the tiger's den in Longtan, and fulfilled the righteousness of rescuing Mr. Liu. ”

The two argued, but Liu Zimo resolved it on the side, from the time they lived in Xian'anfang and put the swallow red that grew in heaven on the windowsill, he understood that this was coming for him, not to mention that it was too dangerous to really make a move, just leaving Kojima Kazuko in Wuhan, where he had no relatives, was also a thing he couldn't bear to bear. It was because he didn't think about it on a whim, thinking that he could provoke Ah Cai away by doing that, not intentionally insulting her.

"Actually, you should ask me the most, why don't you take Kazuko Kojima back to the Gate of Heaven. Only I understand here, let her go to the gate of heaven, it will be a disaster at the gate of heaven, and it will also be a disaster for her. I beg you, at least three years, at most five years, and the matter here will be over. The so-called one hundred, when the time comes, you will stop helping, and I will find a way to go back. ”

After another day and a night, Ah Cai agreed to Dong Chongli to let Liu Zimo go back. Before leaving, Liu Zimo sighed: "What virtue do I have, how can I be, in this half of my life, I have met two good women." ”

Ah Cai said: "You are mistaken, you should add me, a total of three good women." ”

Liu Zimo said: "As long as you don't kill people, you still have a chance to be a good woman." ”

A well-planned rescue ends with the most unexpected ending. After Liu Zimo, who refused to leave, left, the person who refused to leave became Ah Cai.

Standing behind the window, Dong Chongli looked at the small building not far away for a long time through the swallows that swayed easily in the wind, and groups of Japanese kept going in and out of it.

Ah Cai came over from time to time to come and see for a while, and every time she came, she had to stand quietly against Dong Chongli's back for a while, and then leave quietly, except for the last time. "We're not leaving, okay? As long as you don't leave, I can leave everything here. Halfway through speaking, Ah Cai had already stretched out his hands and gently hugged Dong Chongli's waist. Dong Chongli broke free lightly: "I'll go to Tailor Deng's place to have a look." Dong Chongli walked out the door, and Ah Cai shouted behind him: "Don't you really understand that I am a good woman!" After Dong Chongli came back, he saw that Ah Cai was still emotionally uneasy, so he said: "Whether it's good or not, I only have one woman in this life." Ah Cai let out a sneer: "If Xue Ling likes you like me as much, you can still not be moved!" "Dong Chongli didn't say this, he asked Ah Cai to clean up, and when Tailor Deng arrived, he explained all the trivial matters clearly, and immediately set off to return to the gate of heaven." No! If I don't leave, I won't get anything, and I won't leave. Ah Cai's bad attitude did not affect Dong Chongli at all: "At least in the next few years, Fu Langxi and Hang Jiufeng will not be able to rule here." To stay here alone early is to suffer from it! As he spoke, Dong Chongli had already started to pack his things.

Ah Cai became gentle again: "That's it, let's stay for a few more days!" She grabbed Dong Chongli's hand again and again, and was broken free again and again.

Tailor Deng coughed outside: "Okay, no matter how you say you have to go!" ”

Dong Chongli hurriedly invited him in: "Wuhan is too big, but it can't accommodate us." ”

Ah Cai is not emotional, she said, this is just Dong Chongli's meaning, she hasn't lived enough, she doesn't want to leave like this, Dong Chongli wants to go, she doesn't believe what she says, she is not as good as those women on the street who seem to have neither ability nor capital, but dare to show off. Tailor Deng stared at the appearance of the two of them and persuaded them kindly, the couple did not say that they were out of the house, even at home, they had to work together, and they didn't have to be too sorry to come to Wuhan this time, although they didn't get on the big stage of the Spring Garden, this play off the stage, should hook the soul, should be emotional, should be scared, all of them are still very good, there is such an experience, go to Yangluo, Tuanfeng, go to Lanxi, Wuxue, although those docks will also bully, but they are much stronger than Wuhan, and there will be no problem in opening the scene.

"I'd rather be here! I don't believe that all the women in the three towns of Wuhan can find good men! Ah Cai overtalked about it, and Tailor Deng stopped looking at her, and wholeheartedly talked to Dong Chongli about the aftermath. Tailor Deng also asked Dong Chongli to stay for two more days, not because there was still something to figure out, but because he was making a few autumn clothes for Grandma Mei and Xue Ning, and wanted to ask them to bring them back to Tianmen. Dong Chongli said that he couldn't wait even an hour, and he had to leave after saying these words. In fact, he did the same, after he said the decision to leave Wuhan immediately in a non-negotiable tone, Ah Cai was so surprised that he couldn't believe it, the clothes made by Tailor Deng can make Xue Ling and them more beautiful, and it is understandable that women are reluctant to help out of jealousy, how can men give up this kind of thing that can get favor from Xue Ling and them! Dong Chongli, who seemed honest and reliable everywhere, told Tailor Deng firmly that if he had the opportunity to go to the gate of heaven, he would understand that there was nothing wrong with him doing so.

Half an hour later, Dong Chongli spit out a word categorically: "Go!" ”

Ah Cai blinked in disappointment: "You are also like Hang Jiufeng, but you are even more terrifying." ”

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I didn't expect you to like to listen to me like this."

After leaving the city, Ah Cai and Dong Chongli stayed for a few days in a ditch near Yangluo Town. The members of the independent brigade who stayed behind to listen to the news caught up: Dong Chongli's premonition was not fulfilled at all, there was nothing wrong with Xian'an Fang, the Japanese did not arrest people as Dong Chongli imagined, and the front of Tailor Deng's cheongsam shop was as beautiful as ever. Dong Chongli became the most unhappy in the group, and he was silent on the way back, and the people who wanted to hear the story mentioned it many times, but he never got a satisfaction. Ah Cai understood Dong Chongli's inner thoughts, and by the White Lotus River, she asked, when she returned to the gate of heaven and saw Grandma Mei and Xue Ning, could she tell them bluntly that Liu Zimo married Kazuko Kojima, who escaped death, and one day after the autumn, they would have a child come to the world. Dong Chongli was not dumbfounded by Ah Cai's question, he asked Ah Cai not to worry about such a thing, let alone speculate about the world with his own heart. Ah Cai really wanted to tell Dong Chongli not to always treat her like a cat and a dog. Two days later, Ah Cai looked out at the gate of heaven on a hill on the right bank of the West River, smiling as brightly as when he first came down the mountain. The accompanying members of the independent brigade gathered together and whispered that with a man next to the woman, the appearance of the top and bottom was about to change drastically.

One hundred and two

Once upon a time, Dong Chongli didn't expect that he would return to the independent brigade. Baiyun Canggou, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, but Dong Chongli's decision to leave the Independent Brigade again was thought out from the first day he came back.

On the second day of the rendezvous with the main force of the independent brigade left behind in Zhangshuwa, Ah Cai was about to leave the team to meet someone. Dong Chongli thought that this person was Hang Jiufeng, and he snorted in his heart: "I can't catch my hand floating in the sky, and I have to turn around and tie the rope on the ground to my waist." It was only ten days after coming and going, and a layer of burnt yellow appeared on Ah Cai's white and tender face. Ah Cai's extreme tiredness seems to be a symptom of the couple's greed for family pleasure, and Dong Chongli will certainly not do meticulous analysis and pondering. "Where are they now, Jiufeng?" "You forgot you said he was like a bandit? If you want to enter the bandits' den, you have to blindfold yourself with a black cloth, and I don't have the ability to see ghosts like Chang Tianliang! Ah Cai didn't say anything, and Dong Chongli didn't ask much. When Dong Chongli decided to go down the mountain, Ah Cai stopped on the road and reminded him not to let the women of the Xue family be so confused that they didn't know which side they should face forward. Ah Cai asked Dong Chongli to come back earlier, and she had to leave the team for a trip later. Dong Chongli still didn't think deeply, this time the sword and gun at the gate of heaven entered Kuma and put Nanshan in peace, with a woman's watery heart and Yang Hua's love, it is inconceivable not to be next to a man. Ah Cai's resentment has not yet dissipated, and insists that Dong Chongli is going to the gate of heaven because he wants to use Liu Zimo's news to please Grandma Mei and Xue Ning: "Do you think they love to listen to the story of Kazuko Kojima?" When we meet, you will understand what it means to have the wrong idea! Dong Chongli walked on the road to the gate of heaven, and he wanted to learn from Hang Jiufeng and scold a leprosy woman.

The signboard of the Class B Weather Station at the National ** Tianmen Gate in Hubei Province has been blown by wind and rain for several years, and it looks older than the newly added blackboard next to it. The blackboard is written in chalk about the temperature and wind of the day, and sometimes heavy rain or light rain, sunny or cloudy, cloudy or cloudy for the next day is forecasted. On the day Dong Chongli entered the town, the blackboard of the weather station clearly read: "Today's weather is sunny, with few clouds, the highest temperature is 35 °C, the lowest temperature is 26 °C, and the gusts are two to three levels; Scattered light rain is expected in the second half of the night, and meteorological indices during the day tomorrow will be broadly similar to today. Mr. Liu Zimo did not come to the waiting station for some reason, and the above forecast was observed and inferred by the intern Xue Ning, which can only be used as a reference for daily life or work abroad. Dong Chongli's heart sank by this passage, and his previous hesitant heart suddenly became firm. He didn't go to Xue's house, turned around and called Mayor Duan as he stepped into Jiufeng Tower. Dong Chongli's dismissed post as county magistrate has been temporarily represented by Ma Harizi in accordance with the order of the Eastern Hubei Administration. For Ma Harrier to preside over local military and political affairs, it is not a too bad thing for Dong Chongli, who represents the side of the Independent Brigade, and according to Ma Harrier's temperament, the military, political, and popular conditions along the West River will not immediately change greatly. As soon as Dong Chongli said that he wanted military salaries, Duan Sanguo laughed: "In the past few months, the independent brigade has gone to the area of the Bailian River occupied by the Japanese to attack and harass several times, and it is said that it has gained a lot. Mr. Dong has just come back, does he not know the truth? It seems that because his son-in-law is acting as the county magistrate, Duan Sanguo's confidence when he speaks is much thicker than before. Dong Chongli originally used this incident as an excuse not to let others pay attention to his real purpose of going down the mountain, he asked Duan Sanguo to raise a little bit, and Duan Sanguo would also deliberately ask Chang Tianliang to take the account book, go to Xue's house first to ask for twenty silver dollars, and wait until the end of the year to calculate the general account together. Dong Chongli hurriedly stopped Chang Tianliang: "I don't want any money, find a way to find some iodine wine and sulfonamides for us to treat gunshot wounds, as much as you want!" Duan Sanguo smiled meaningfully, and instructed Chang Tianliang to go to the house with Western medicine and ask as Dong Chongli said. As soon as Chang Tianliang went out, Duan Sanguo told Dong Chongli that half of the self-defense forces stationed in the Tianmen area were evacuated by Ma Harrier. Dong Chongli understood the meaning of this, and clearly said that the reason why he agreed to Fu Langxi's request to return to the Independent Brigade was that he did not want the Independent Brigade to go to war with the Self-Defense Forces again. "I talked to Grandma Mei about this, and we thought so. But Ma Harrier is not at ease, he has not heard from you for several months, and he still thinks that you are engaged in conspiracy. Duan Sanguo's words of going deeper did not play any role in Dong Chongli. The words written on the blackboard in front of the weather station blocked Dong Chongli's heart, and it was impossible for him to say anything about rescuing Liu Zimo.

Chang Tianliang hadn't returned yet, Dong Chongli pretended to go to the street, and when he passed by the blacksmith shop, he secretly handed over a letter written in advance with rice soup to Lin Dayu, and asked him to deliver it to Fu Langxi in a more secret way. This is the real purpose of Dong Chongli's visit to the gate of heaven. In the letter, Dong Chongli frankly admitted that he had promised to replace Fu Langxi, but he only wanted to use the power of the Independent Brigade to rescue Liu Zimo, but now this wish is no longer in place, and the traditional activity area of the Independent Brigade centered on Tianmen has not been fighting for a long time, so there is no need for him to continue to stay in the Independent Brigade. And because of the lessons of the past, he didn't want to leave hastily anymore, and hoped to make a clear conclusion on the matter. If you can get your wish, you can continue to find a place to settle down and take root at the gate of heaven.

"If Fu Langxi is dead, do you want me to help you send it to the Hades Palace?" Lin Dayu, who still remembered the hatred of taking his wife, cursed in disguise. Dong Chongli reminded him: "The Hades Palace was opened by Fu Langxi, if you want to have a good end, don't play tricks with him." "You have to be careful, too! You've slept in the same bed with Ah Cai for so long, don't expect to say a few kind words to disintegrate. When Dong Chongli decided to take people to Wuhan, he once reported to Fu Langxi through Lin Dayu. As the head of the traffic station, nothing that happened to the Independence Brigade could not be hidden from him. "I don't even think about this kind of boring thing!" "At the beginning, Ah Cai and Inspector Deng pretended to be husband and wife, but they were not too bored to do that, and it was not a need for struggle in the name of beauty." Dong Chongli replied unequivocally: "Whether they need it or not is their business, and I don't have this need." ”

There are comings and goings, there are goings and comings. The people up and down the West River couldn't see when the fight for the lives of groups of people would break out again. Dong Chongli, who returned to the mountain, said to Ah Cai: "Women are the love of children, and it is a matter of course for you to want to see Hang Jiufeng, you can go at any time while the wind is calm, as long as you let me know before leaving." ”

Ah Cai went down the mountain for the second time, and brought back a lot of exhaustion just like the first time.

Dong Chongli also left Zhangshuwa again and came to Tianmen Street.

He came in from the lower street covered with dead grass, first went to the blacksmith shop, handed over dozens of bullet casings, and asked Lin Dayu to make them into the children's favorite "landing flowers" during the Chinese New Year. Lin Dayu told him that Fu Langxi had sent a letter from Jing County, Anhui Province, which was addressed to Hang Jiufeng, and there was no news since then, and the letter sent out last time was only afraid that it had not yet reached him. Dong Chongli asked if there was a frequent correspondence between Hang Jiufeng and Fu Langxi. At first, Lin Dayu refused to answer, which is also the discipline of doing underground transportation work. In the end, it was the uncontrollable hatred that worked, and he said, "Mr. Dong, do you want to break away from the independence brigade again?" Lin Dayu's words made Dong Chongli feel at ease, it stands to reason that after Fu Langxi received his letter, he would arrange any ruthless moves to deal with him, and he would definitely not show clues. If Fu Langxi has already received the letter but refuses to reply, he just wants to play his fair and honest role, at most, he just pretends not to know, and he can delay it for as long as he can. The more Dong Chongli hoped that Fu Langxi had no other conspiracy, but he refused to let his resignation ruin his strategic deployment at the gate of heaven, the more unwilling he was to slap his ass and leave the independent brigade with more than 200 guns as before. Dong Chongli told Lin Dayu about his judgment, and Lin Dayu hurriedly explained that these were all things he was thinking about while sitting in the room. Only Hang Jiufeng once said in front of him that any woman who followed the wild man for a lap and went home, even if she broke her legs, she would run for the second and third times. Dong Chongli returned to the Independent Brigade, but his heart was wild, and he couldn't get it back if he stayed outside, and he had to leave sooner or later. Lin Dayu said again and again that Hang Jiufeng's words had nothing to do with Fu Langxi, and as far as he knew, Fu Langxi had never expressed similar thoughts. Dong Chongli doesn't care about this, since Fu Langxi has something to do and goes to Jing County, Anhui Province, then write another letter and send it over, so as not to miss too much turnover on the road.

Half a month after the solar calendar year, someone sent the finished "landing flowering" to the camphor tree recess. After Dong Chongli counted three times to confirm that the even number was correct, he came to Tianmen Town for the third time.

This is an appointment he made with Lin Dayu: when "Falling and Flowering" is an even number, it means that Fu Langxi's letter is coming, and there is no special change in Tianmen Town, and you can go down the mountain to get the letter; The singular number indicates that the situation has changed, and it is very risky to go down the mountain to win trust. Dong Chongli changed his direction, walked from the entrance of the street to the town, and when he passed by Jiufeng Tower, he deliberately shouted loudly, he went to the blacksmith shop first, and asked Lin Dayu to do twenty more "landing flowers", and the children in the camphor tree recess area all wanted to play with the things invented by Senator Wang, and turned back to the three countries for lunch. As soon as he entered the blacksmith shop, Lin Dayu greeted him and asked, "Have you received the letter?" "You haven't made a move yet, where am I going to collect it!" Lin Dayu nodded at the silk reeling man on the other side of the door with his mouth, explaining that after he had just asked someone to take away the "Falling Blossoms" that day, it happened that her father had something to go to heaven, so he handed Fu Langxi's letter to him. "The traffic officer said that this letter is urgent, and I can't go to see you in person, so I have to do it." Seeing Dong Chongli's reproachful look, Lin Dayu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you won't make a mistake, Ximi's father owes me money for a hoe, and he said that the good letter will be delivered before the account can be written off." Also, Ximi has gotten along with me, and her father also knows that a few days ago, her father asked her to send a message, asking me to find a matchmaker as soon as possible to settle this family business. Dong Chongli neither blamed nor showed a trace of pleasure, he was thinking in his heart that just to return his credit is not 100,000 urgent, there must be other reasons.

Lin Dayu flatteringly told Dong Chongli that the newly formed Fourth Army had caused a big incident in the area of Jing County, Anhui Province, and many people had died, because the letter was sent from station to station, and the traffic officer who handed over to Lin Dayu did not know the details.

Dong Chongli's heart darkened, and no matter how good the sun outside was, it couldn't shine on his face. When passing by the weather station, Dong Chongli, who was panicked, reached out and touched the town and county standing in front of the blackboard to recognize the words. Unexpectedly, the two of them jumped up and said menacingly: "The man's head is not allowed to be touched." ”

"Can a man's eggs be touched?" As soon as these words came out, Dong Chongli suddenly moved.

Later, Duan Sanguo pointed out his heart to the point: "If you don't come again, I'm going to look for you!" In the past few days, Ma Harrier has to call twice a day to ask if the independent brigade has any abnormal actions. In my opinion, the situation must have changed. Mr. Dong still hurried back to Zhangshuwa to make some preparations, the better you prepare, the more the harrier will not dare to move. You don't care what the Xue family thinks, I have told Grandma Mei these words, it was she who said that you will definitely come to the town in the next few days, so I didn't go to Zhangshuwa. ”

Dong Chongli felt that there was really no need to say more. He hurriedly finished eating a large bowl of chicken soup noodles made by Duan Sanguo's wife and brought to him by himself. Before going out, Sisi stood behind the threshold and asked, "Is Ah Cai dead set on not being married to Jiufeng?" Listening to Jiufeng, since you returned to the Independent Brigade, Ah Cai has been hiding and not letting him see him. "Dong Chongli didn't believe it, after coming back from Wuhan, Ah Cai officially took a few leaves, and he thought he was going to reunite with Hang Jiufeng!" Mr. Dong can't follow Ah Cai everywhere, I'm afraid there will be fraud! Jiufeng also said foul words and ruffians, but he never told lies. Dong Chongli couldn't think of where Ah Cai could go and what to do when he left heaven again and again, except to see Hang Jiufeng.

"Three squad leaders!" On the top of the hill closest to the West River, Dong Chongli shouted three times in a row but still did not hear a response.

Dong Chongli did not bring a gun, this is a gentleman's agreement that he solemnly declared to Ma Harizi through Duan Sanguo, and Ma Harrier also solemnly guaranteed through Duan Sanguo, so that he can enter and exit the gate of heaven alone without any obstacles. Dong Chongli was not unprepared, every time he left Zhangshuwa to go down the mountain, he would leave the squad with the strongest firepower on this mountain. What makes Dong Chongli feel incredible now is that there is no movement around, and there is no trace of fighting, more than a dozen battle-hardened team members, and more than a dozen long guns and short guns with sufficient ammunition are all gone. Dong Chongli understood that something was wrong. There were two ways to get back to Zhangshuwa, and he decided to follow the path he came from, because his opponent must have thought that he would change course when he noticed that the situation had changed. Knowing that there is shit in the buttocks, I want to reach out and rub it. The more snakes, the more they go to the snake's nest. The two sentences that Daddy Hang loved to say before his death have become the truth in Dong Chongli's heart at this moment.

It was not dark yet, the sun could still shine into the mountain pass, and Dong Chongli, who was moving quickly along the mountain road that could not see anything unusual, suddenly felt that something tripped under his feet. Just as he lost his center of gravity and was about to fall to the ground, several stout men with their faces covered with pot ash rose from the ground, some blindfolded, some tied their hands and feet, and some poured wine into their mouths, and finally tied Dong Chongli, who had lost all ability to cope, to a recliner carried by two people.

One hundred and three

Before dawn, a warm current flowing slowly on his body woke Dong Chongli. A flowery woman was gently wiping him with a hand towel soaked in hot water. Dong Chongli was startled, hurriedly pulled the quilt and wrapped it tightly around his body, and asked the woman again and again what she was going to do. The woman smiled brightly at him: "My name is Yuan!" As if that sentence says it all. Dong Chongli stretched out his legs, and the woman who claimed to be round was kicked, and staggered back to the door, still not angry. "You were drunk and vomited, and I washed the floor for you." Dong Chongli took a look, and there were indeed some traces of vomit around. "Someone paid me to serve you well. You haven't woken up yet, and when you do, you'll feel more comfortable. Dong Chongli suddenly remembered that the woman standing in front of him must be the word-of-mouth circle **.

Dong Chongli, like most people at Tianmenmen, heard everything about Yuan ** from Hang Jiufeng and Ma Harrier, the independent brigade captured the county seat several times, and Yuan ** was either taken away by the guests in advance, or took advantage of the chaos when the city was broken, and never met Dong Chongli. Yuan** didn't care how ugly it was to call herself, she only said that she had been busy all night, "I'm so tired, I have to take a breath when I hang my neck, it's time for me to sleep for a while." Yuan ** took off the clothes on his body and leaned against Dong Chongli, his long eyelashes moved from movement to stillness like wind passing through the thatch, and gently rested on his lower eyelids. Dong Chongli got up and searched in vain for a long time, only to see the clothes taken off from Yuan**. It seemed that the round ** who was asleep suddenly said: "You can't go, there is a lock on the door!" Dong Chongli walked over naked, grabbed the latch and pulled a few handfuls, and kicked at the door a few times. The mountain people are most willing to use wood to build houses, and the gates are sawn out of thick trees. Such a door is not afraid of leopards scratching, not afraid of donkeys and wolves, as long as it does not provoke termites, it is enough to protect three generations for hundreds of years. "Don't be angry with yourself there, save your strength and wait until I sleep before using it!" This sentence angered Dong Chongli, turned around and rushed to the bed, pinching the neck of the round ** with both hands, threatening to tell her the manipulator behind it. Yuan ** has seen too much of the world, the more anxious Dong Chongli is, the more she wants to sell Guanzi, and said slowly that someone spent money to carry a sedan chair to invite her, saying that it was less than five miles away from the county seat, but she knew that she had passed the Junshi Ridge all of a sudden, and then she was taken to this room blindfolded. Dong Chongli's mind turned and he thought of Ma Harrier. Yuan ** said: "Ordinary people think like this, if this is a beauty trick, the person who makes the trick must be a horse harrier." He has used me three times to make this ploy. This time it has nothing to do with him, I am afraid that you will not believe it if I say it, it was Hang Jiufeng who sent someone to invite me to greet you. Yuan ** patted the pillow on the side. Dong Chongli stood motionless for a while, suddenly his expression changed, he sneered and lay down, keeping a little distance from Yuan**, who was also naked. The morning in the mountains was very quiet, and the north wind swept across the ridge of the roof, blowing the ice hanging on the eaves, and the sound of falling to the ground was clearly audible. Yuan** rolled over, turned his back to him, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep. There are women's quilts that are extra warm. Dong Chongli couldn't understand: Hang Jiufeng may not be doing this to embarrass himself, but to humiliate Ah Cai through this matter. Thinking about it like this, Dong Chongli was also like a round **, and soon slept without knowing anyone or ghosts. A naked man and a woman slept together without incident, one day and one night, two days and two nights, and someone came in through the crack in the door when they wanted to eat and drink. On the night of the third day, Yuan ** couldn't hold his breath, and counted Dong Chongli like ordinary women, even if there was no long mouth below, the mouth above would never see Hua Xie, and if he didn't speak for three days and three nights, he couldn't suffocate himself, and he would suffocate the people next to him.

"Believe it or not, it's either tomorrow morning, or tomorrow morning, if it's really Hang Jiufeng, he will come to me." After saying the first sentence in these days, Dong Chongli fell asleep again.

When I woke up, the sunlight shining through the bright wall was shining right on the bed. Yuan**, who had closed his eyes, put his arms around him with his fine white porcelain-like arms, and said vaguely in his dreams. Dong Chongli was about to recall and sort out some things in the past when he heard Hang Jiufeng shouting outside: "Mr. Dong, Ah Cai is here for you, do you want to see her?" Dong Chongli lay on the bed and didn't know how to answer.

"Why don't you get dressed first, and I'll open the door later?" When Hang Jiufeng continued to ask, Yuan**, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly replied for Dong Chongli: "The clothes you took three days ago have not been returned, what are we going to wear!" ”

Dong Chongli waved his hand to interrupt the words of the circle **: "If there is a kind, come in now!" ”

The brass lock on the door rang and then quieted down, and a moment later it rang again, and after hesitating a few times, the door was completely open. Hang Jiufeng, who was standing in front, flashed aside, and the long-lost sunshine pushed Ah Cai, who was full of doubts, and walked in solemnly: "Is it true, it's not that I'm blind, right?" ”

"It's fake, I heard it clearly outside this door last night, but it's a pity that you didn't catch up, just like Mr. Dong's storytelling, it's simply earth-shattering like never before, and there is no one who cries ghosts and gods after him, and he is really a merry genius." After Hang Jiufeng answered for Dong Chongli and Yuan**, Ah Cai's eyes were red, and he seemed to be sad, but what came out was anger, and he turned around and walked outside the door and threw a letter on the ground.

Hang Jiufeng didn't follow out immediately, still standing in front of the bed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Dong, I didn't mean to hurt you." Political Commissar Fu has already given a message, and he won't even let me move a piece of dead skin on your body. Ah Cai is too unreasonable these times, after a few months of pretending to be husband and wife with you, not only did he not come to reunite with me as a husband when he came back, but he also ran out again and again, looking for Political Commissar Fu everywhere, asking him to make the decision and divorce me. Hang Jiufeng said aggrievedly, "Your incident in Wuhan has been reported to me by others." Ah Cai thought that you were afraid that I would be too ruthless to ignore her, so I was daydreaming there, asking Political Commissar Fu to agree to her and break me off. I want Ah Cai to die of this heart, so that she understands that in your heart, she is not even as good as **. To be honest, I really didn't know that you had made another mistake with seeing flowers. Don't be mad at me. ”

Yuan** leaned out of the quilt and picked up the letter on the ground and handed it to Dong Chongli. There was no one else in the house. At a cursory glance, the person who wrote this letter does not look like it was written by Fu Langxi, neither is it written in rice soup consistently, and the handwriting is very different from Fu Langxi's beautiful cursive handwriting. After reading it, the content shocked Dong Chongli.

At the beginning of 1941, the military headquarters of the newly formed Fourth Army and its subordinate units, totaling 9,000 officers and men, stationed in the area of Jing County in southern Anhui Province, finally obeyed the orders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party in the Yan'an area of northern Shaanxi Province and the National Military Committee in Chongqing, and began to advance northward to prepare for guerrilla warfare in the Japanese-occupied areas. On 5 January, shortly after departure, the team was ambushed by seven divisions of the Kuomintang ** Army with a total of 80,000 troops before they had even left the border of Jing County. After seven days and seven nights of fierce fighting, the two commanders and deputy commanders of the newly formed Fourth Army, who had originally advocated the death penalty of Gao Political Commissar, were captured, and the other was killed by his subordinates during the breakout. The following 9,000 officers and men were either killed or wounded, and very few were lucky enough to break out of the encirclement. The Supreme Commander of the National Military Council immediately announced the cancellation of the number of the new Fourth Army and the surrender of all captured personnel to a military court.

Fu Langxi took the risk of sending someone to send a letter back, asking Dong Chongli and all the soldiers of the Independent Brigade to prepare for the response as soon as possible, and the area around Tianmen would soon be affected by this incident. This team and this base area are too important to Fu Langxi, with them, as long as the world is not turned upside down, even if the sea is dry and rotten, they can make a comeback and start all over again. From the beginning to the end, Fu Langxi did not mention Dong Chongli's departure and stay, and he could only understand and see that there was no unparalleled trust, and in his eyes, only Dong Chongli could lead the independent brigade through the upcoming hardships.

Dong Chongli read in his letter that Fu Langxi was thrown off a cliff by a cannonball, and he exchanged his life for the brittle breaking of three ribs on his right hand and right foot, and right chest.

Because of this sudden suffering, Dong Chongli was in pain. In the face of the sudden change of events, the helpless Dong Chongli suddenly felt that the arms of the round ** were so comfortable, and only by hiding his face deep in the pair of fruitful **, a pool of muddy water would be pure.

"Mr. Dong, you are too bitter about yourself, find another woman! Look at how well Hang Jiufeng lives, one wife is still like a flower, and she is busy looking for a second bud. In the eyes of others, ** will only sell skin and meat, and do not understand ** is a woman among women. To put it bluntly, if someone takes a fancy to me and marries me home, I will live more like a man than anyone else in this life. ”

Getting up from the deep **, Dong Chongli, who didn't think clearly where to settle down after leaving the Independent Brigade, didn't know what to do. Dong Chongli finally listened to what Fu Langxi said in the letter: The tragedy that occurred in southern Anhui is bound to have a chain reaction in various places, and at this time when life and death are uncertain, it is urgent for Dong Chongli to continue to lead these troubled brothers who may be swept away by the bloody wind and rain, and keep this red green mountain that is not afraid of no firewood in the future; Dong Chongli desperately needs to put aside any thoughts of just seeking peace of mind for himself, use his outstanding intelligence and courage to avoid the repetition of the bloody scene at the gate of heaven, and maintain those dreams that enchant him, as well as Grandma Mei and Xue Ning. The reason why Dong Chongli accepted Fu Langxi's request to stay and share weal and woe with the independent brigade is also related to Yuan**, he doesn't want to leave gossip and let others say that he ran away because he was not innocent with women.

Dong Chongli, who walked out of the house, found at a glance that the place he was trapped in was the house where Sisi and Hang Jiufeng had flue-cured tobacco leaves. Seeing Hang Jiufeng and Ah Cai standing outside the house, he said, "No wonder Ah Cai refuses to come to see you, this place makes her sad too much." "Leaving the fragrant round **, Dong Chongli worked hard to return himself to his previous state." I'm not afraid of divorce, I'm afraid that Ah Cai will be more sad if she divorces than if she doesn't. Ah Cai is my woman, and I have to take responsibility for her to the end. If you want to be a nun, you can do it without divorce. Where can Ah Cai stand the cold fire and smoke in the temple? If you are not a nun, there is a question of who will marry her. is still the first sentence to say, except for me Hang Jiufeng, there will be no second man in the world who is not crippled or crippled who is willing to be her husband. In front of the arrogant Hang Jiufeng, Ah Cai didn't dare to take over the topic directly, turned a corner, and concisely said how he left the team several times to find Fu Langxi. Although she didn't find Fu Langxi, she had seen other superiors a lot, she always reported to her superiors the activities of the independent brigade in a serious manner, and never confided a word about her marriage. The last time she met Ziyu, she learned that Fu Langxi had something to do and temporarily left the Dabie Mountains. Ah Cai only told the truth in front of Ziyu. Ziyu herself can find a second husband without waiting for her first husband to die, but she does not agree with her divorce and remarriage, and uses the words she learned from Fu Langxi to persuade that once a woman joins the revolution, she will have to pay more sacrifices than men, and emphasized that Hang Jiufeng is a good husband in the tradition of not entering brothels and prostituting for generations. "I just can't figure it out, you can treat ** as a woman, why am I not even as good as **!" Ah Cai then made her own complaints. After being sure that he would no longer be affected by the circle **, Dong Chongli said: "The phlegm that is spit out, the water that is spilled, where it is thrown, it will be there." ”

Dong Chongli solemnly reread Fu Langxi's letter. Because of fright, Ah Cai's eyes were staring at Dong Chongli, but his hand grabbed Hang Jiufeng and didn't let go. Hang Jiufeng, on the contrary, shouted again and again: "It's still the high political commissar who is wise, listen to him early, and leave the team in Dabie Mountain, and the people will not dare to do this." ”

Dong Chongli sighed: "If you talk about foresight, Mr. Fu is also amazing." If you change someone else, it will be difficult to guard the foundation of the gate of heaven for him, so he has to protect you in everything. ”

Dong Chongli briefly asked about the situation of all parties in the Yanzi River area. Hang Jiufeng believes that the two people who have killed the red eyes will sincerely sit together to eat and drink, which is like letting two men share a woman to live, since the old department of the high political commissar was contained together, in the past year, there has never been a peaceful coexistence of the days, and it is still the appearance of fighting guerrilla warfare with the ** army, and everywhere you go, you have to be unaware. The three of them were studying specific countermeasures together, and the ** army stationed on the other side of the Yanzi River suddenly gathered together in a hurry, not only did the number of posts increase a lot, but also sent several platoons of troops one after another, and laid some firepower points along the river that could support each other. Seeing that the situation had changed, the three of them quickly reached a consensus that something must have happened to Zhangshuwa, and there is no third team in this area that makes the people fearful! At this point, Dong Chongli bluntly said that if Hang Jiufeng didn't have Fu Langxi's upper sword in his hand, then follow his command. Ah Cai took Fu Langxi's letter and said, "Since Political Commissar Fu has entrusted you with everything here, what else do we have to say!" Dong Chongli was not polite, he asked Hang Jiufeng to immediately take all the men and horses over the heavens, move closer to the Zhangshuwa area, and coordinate with the independent brigade, so that Ma Harrier did not dare to act rashly.

At dusk, the team climbed over a large mountain, and had just climbed the second mountain when a dull rumbling sound came from the direction of the camphor tree recess. After knowing that this was a cannon sounding, Dong Chongli's face was darker than the valley where the sunset could not shine. Hang Jiufeng in front walked faster, and when it was close to midnight, the daredevils caught a masked man who wanted to see Hang Jiufeng. As soon as Dong Chongli heard Lin Dayu's voice, he understood that the big thing was not good, and he had to personally go out to deliver the letter, which fully explained that the situation had reached an urgent level.

Lin Dayu was really anxious: "This time, the independent brigade is probably in a catastrophe." ”

Hang Jiufeng patted his chest, not letting Lin Dayu be so depressed. Lin Dayu said: "Just a few of you, can beat all the people of Brigade Commander Feng?" He said that Ma Harrier's self-defense force only did some things in the back to guard the intersection and pick up the wounded, and it was Brigade Commander Feng's team that surrounded the independent brigade. Lin Dayu blamed himself for believing the promise of the people. The day after breaking up with Dong Chongli, Brigade Commander Feng's reconnaissance company suddenly came to the gate of heaven. Lin Dayu wanted to send a message to Zhangshuwa to raise the vigilance of the independent brigade, but he was fascinated by the radio brought by the reconnaissance company. At the National Council of Political Participation, which opened on March 1, 1941, the Supreme Head of State on the radio swore solemnly: "There will be no military force to suppress the Communist Party in the future, and this is something that I can guarantee to your Council in a responsible statement." Lin Dayu didn't know that Lang Lang's voice was still echoing on the radio, and Brigade Commander Feng took his light and heavy weapons to cavalry artillery and trapped the independent brigade that was neither prepared nor the main commander had left the team and had not returned. The national ** used the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, the technique of killing chickens with a knife, and did not hesitate to let Brigade Commander Feng lead the team to fight in person to deal with the independent brigade that he disdained in the past.

Lin Dayu shouted bitterly: "If the independent brigade is over, how can we explain to Political Commissar Fu!" ”

One hundred and four

The fierce battle continued day after day under Dong Chongli's eyelids. Brigade Commander Feng is very good at fighting, and he also cherishes the elite soldiers he has trained with his own hands, although he has dozens of times the military advantage of the independent brigade, he still refuses to give up the use of more powerful war resources. His subordinate officers and men, like Brigade Commander Feng, had unprecedented confidence in this war of extermination. There is only a small amount of grass on the mountain, and the grain stored in the previous year will be eight taels less if you eat half a catty. The main peaks near the residence were all climbed by the ** army, and the time and place were not conducive to the isolated independent brigade. Under the command of Brigade Commander Feng, the ** army was divided into hundreds of small forces in platoons, and flexibly pressed towards the place where the independent brigade was entrenched. In the first two days, the independent brigade was able to use the mountain cannon captured from the north of the island to fire shells at the gate of heaven as a threat. Soon, the position where the mountain artillery was located was captured by an assault team of the ** army, and the mountain artillery that had finished shooting the shells was also transported to the streets of Tianmen for people to visit. This method of sports guerrilla warfare, in which he treated others the way he did, made Dong Chongli, who had already gone around to the lower reaches of the Xihe River and hid outside the encirclement waiting for the opportunity, complain bitterly. When the fighting flowers by the West River were about to bloom, the situation suddenly changed dramatically with the arrival of an inverted spring cold. That morning, Xue Ning, who posted the weather forecast on the blackboard in the name of Liu Zimo, wrote in plain words: The Siberian cold snap is coming, and there will inevitably be strong winds and cooling weather in the next three days. After noon, the south wind, which had been blowing smoothly in the West River for half a month, was intercepted head-on by a north wind that fell from the sky. The two winds twisted together and turned into a powerful whirlwind that rose from the middle of the West River. It didn't take long for the whirlwind to disappear, and the branches that covered the mountains were pulled one-sided by the rapidly receding southerly wind. The north wind blew more and more fiercely, and the daredevils who were lying in ambush behind the ridge couldn't help but curse in a whisper. The cold of spring is better than the winter of snowmelt, there are a few signs of rain in the sky, and after the middle of the night, everyone is looking forward to taking advantage of the dense fog around dawn to burn a few fires to keep warm, and the sentinels on the high place nervously report: "There is a fire!" "In a short time, the fire in the depths of heaven became a prairie fire, and the strong wind blowing from the north, with a burst of fire, rushed down the mountain without hindrance. The wind fuels the fire, and the fire makes the wind wild. The fire burned until the next afternoon, when it began to rain in the sky. ** The victories of the army's orderly offensive have been burned to the ground. The Independent Brigade once took advantage of the fire to break out, but unfortunately the wrong direction was chosen. The reason why Dong Chongli brought the death squad to the lower reaches of the West River was because they had the experience of exchanging blood, and the more they were in trouble, the more they had to dare to use supernormal tactics. The various things that have happened over the years have proved that the people in the lower reaches of the West River are becoming more and more towards the people. Dong Chongli judged that Ma Harrier and Brigade Commander Feng definitely thought that the independent brigade would not break through in this direction, and they could break out of the encirclement. Without Fu Langxi as the backbone, Ah Cai and Dong Chongli did not rush back in time, and the independent brigade that stayed in Heaven thought that the death squad led by Hang Jiufeng was still fighting in the area of the Yanzi River, so they charged straight upstream, and when they saw that there was no answer, they retreated to the position they had previously defended.

Three days and three nights passed, and the morale of the ** army that had been burned by the fire had declined, and the situation of the independent brigade stationed in heaven was even worse. "No matter how much they save, the remaining ammunition will not be enough for them to fight for two days." The plan to save Zhao, who had been discussing Wei for several days, was exaggerated to the limit by Hang Jiufeng: "Sanli is Brigade Commander Feng's lair, I will lead people to rush over, even if I can't beat him, I will scare him half to death." Brigade Commander Feng's temperament is like mine, and I can't forget that there is a family wherever I go. After making up his mind, Dong Chongli asked Hang Jiufeng to fight as hard as possible, and it was best to blow up the ammunition depot again like he had done when he dodged the five-person team, and then sneak back to the Swallow River to pick up Fu Langxi, who was definitely going back to Dabie Mountain. When Hang Jiufeng took away the team, he also took Ah Cai away: "Don't talk about the divorce anymore, we must focus on the revolutionary event." Seriously, not being together for more than a year is a big loss to you and me. I know you want to talk about it again, I told Political Commissar Fu that the man of the Hang family marrying two wives is the need of struggle, so don't be too stingy! At this point, Ah Cai didn't bother to ask Dong Chongli if he agreed, stretched out his hand and shook goodbye, while persuading Dong Chongli not to be reluctant, in case he couldn't save the independent brigade, he would be punished again, there are many stone caves in the depths of heaven where you can hide, the people of the independent brigade are all masters of guerrillas, you can't kill it, as long as one person survives, it is a victory.

"What if everybody survived?" This meaningful sentence was not understood by Hang Jiufeng and the others at that time.

The group rushed to the vicinity of Sanli Ji day and night, set up an iron sand cannon and aimed at Brigade Commander Feng's ammunition depot and bombarded it fiercely. Seeing that there was no movement, Hang Jiufeng put two more parts of gunpowder and two weighing stones into the barrel. After the second cannon rang out, Hang Jiufeng himself was fine, and the rest of the gunners were all shocked and bleeding from their ears. Just as they were about to fire a third shot, the ammunition depot not far away was finally detonated by the three scales fired by the iron sand cannon. Taking advantage of the chaos on the streets of Sanlijia, the death squad rushed into the street and shouted: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, we are here to settle accounts with the Feng family, we want to drink the blood of the Feng family in life, and we want to pull the Feng family to back in death!" "Everyone spared no bullets, and a good street was beaten in the blink of an eye. By the time the ** army left behind came to their senses, Hang Jiufeng had already led people through the streets and retreated to the area of the Swallow River as planned.

Halfway through, Ah Cai was the first to wake up, claiming that there was a lot of mystery in Dong Chongli's words: "He said that he wanted everyone to survive, but he wanted the independent brigade to surrender!" ”

Thinking of the situation that he has always been outside the encirclement of Brigade Commander Feng in the past few days, but Dong Chongli did not let them attack those ** troops from behind, Hang Jiufeng agreed with this judgment. "I said, Dong Chongli doesn't have the ability to save so many people every day!" The husband and wife didn't have time to discuss it in detail, one in front and the other behind, and led the death squad to gallop up the West River. At the place where the Independent Brigade first set up an ambush and almost captured Brigade Commander Feng alive, the group met head-on with a member of the Independent Brigade who had come down from the camphor tree: "Mr. Dong has successfully negotiated with Brigade Commander Feng, and the Independent Brigade has all returned to the Nationals, and temporarily dissociated itself from the Communist Party such as Political Commissar Fu!" ”

The angry Hang Jiufeng raised his hand and shot the person who reported the news.

The cold spring of 1941 was unprecedentedly cold, and after Dong Chongli gave the order for Hang Jiufeng to lead the death squad to attack Sanlijia, he unexpectedly appeared at the gate of heaven with Yuan**: "I want to see Brigade Commander Feng!" "In Ma Harrier's Self-Defense Force and Brigade Commander Feng's ** army, people who know Yuan ** and those who know Dong Chongli don't understand the meaning of two morally at the head and tail walking together. Dong Chongli, who was unattended, walked into the Ziyang Pavilion in front of everyone's eyes.

Brigade Commander Feng, who was dressed in military uniform, said to Grandma Mei: "Since I met you when I was old, Senator Wang has become a different person, and he doesn't do real things, but prefers to daydream. Dong Chongli stepped forward to interrupt their conversation: "I'm here to negotiate, and the independent brigade doesn't want to fight anymore!" Dong Chongli's words first received a response from Grandma Mei: "It's better not to fight!" Brigade Commander Feng was still saying just now that the sky has eyes and timely rain, otherwise such a big mountain fire will cause no more disaster! The unprepared Brigade Commander Feng looked left and right and said to him: "Who is this?" There shouldn't be such a woman at the gate of heaven? "Brigade Commander Feng, you are only forty years old, why are you not as young as your seventy-year-old father! My name is Yuan, I know that you call me Yuan behind your back like everyone else! Yuan**'s generous answer provoked Brigade Commander Feng to laugh wildly, and he said that since Yuan** let his father regain his strength, he has never called any woman **.

At this point, Brigade Commander Feng began to really face Dong Chongli: "I know that Mr. Dong is a gentleman with a clear reputation!" Because of Qingliu, you organized the Communist Party at the gate of heaven! Because of the clear stream, you quit the Communist Party organization again! What makes me wonder is that later you were in the same stream with the Communist Party, and if it was still for the sake of clearing the stream, you would not need to leave the Communist Party again! Dong Chongli said calmly: "I can't be regarded as a clear stream anymore, so I want to marry Yuan ** now, and if Brigade Commander Feng wants, he can marry us with Grandma Mei!" "Yuan**, did you hear clearly, Mr. Dong, when you are the princess of the emperor's family, I want to use you to make peace!" As soon as Brigade Commander Feng spoke, he was questioned by Yuan**: "Who just let go of the stinky fart and said that he will never call a woman a ** from now on?" All the people in the room fell silent, and Brigade Commander Feng seemed to suddenly understand the significance of Dong Chongli's decision, staring at Dong Chongli and muttering, saying that it was fresh and real to prove the sincerity of the peace negotiations.

Grandma Mei stood in front of Dong Chong and bowed deeply three times. She asked Yuan ** if she was willing to marry Dong Chongli, and then bowed three times to Yuan **, who was full of confusion and expressed her willingness. Next, Grandma Mei stood in front of Brigade Commander Feng again and said that she still wanted to bow three times.

Brigade Commander Feng thought for a long time before saying, "I also have the conditions, Mr. Dong should post a notice in the newspaper to let everyone know that this marriage is being married by Ming Media, and it is not pretending to achieve some purposes." ”

Brigade Commander Feng didn't let Yuan**, who wanted to be questioned again, speak: "I still haven't finished speaking, this is just one thing, and the other is the second: Of course, it is a good thing for the independent brigade to abandon the darkness and return to the light, but it must also be stated in the newspaper that this is completely voluntary and is to better resist the Japanese aggression, and it has nothing to do with the rumors of party struggle." ”

The negotiations were exceptionally concise and straightforward. Dong Chongli agreed to issue two statements in his name. Brigade Commander Feng also agreed to integrate the independent brigade into the county self-defense force to stay at the gate of heaven, and Dong Chongli continued to serve as the commander. Ma Harrier was not at ease and proposed that all guns and ammunition must be left in his care. Brigade Commander Feng reprimanded him, with Dong Chongli's reputation of marrying a well-known ** in several counties in the two provinces, if he could go back to become a Communist Party, such a Communist Party would not need them to take the army to encircle and suppress it. However, Brigadier Feng had an even more insidious condition. Brigade Commander Feng asked Grandma Mei and Xue Ning to come forward and guarantee that the independent brigade would not collectively fight back, otherwise, they would all bear the responsibility of association.

Without waiting for Dong Chongli to express his position, Grandma Mei agreed: "For such a thing, we don't need Brigade Commander Feng to say it, we are also duty-bound." With the same posture and expression, Grandma Mei bowed three times to Brigade Commander Feng.

Dong Chongli, whose heart was like water, soon went to heaven. He gathered the remnants of the Independence Brigade together and read out Francs's letter in public. No one did not think that Dong Chongli was flexibly using Fu Langxi's instructions, grasping the key issues when the environment was at its worst, and doing everything possible to preserve the strength of the independent brigade. After several days and nights of bloody fighting, only one-tenth of the independent brigade of more than 200 people could walk down the mountain. Brigade Commander Feng counted the Independent Brigade from beginning to end and from tail to end twice, counting one less the first time and one more when counting the second time, but there were only thirty-one people. Brigade Commander Feng shouted unjustly without remorse, in addition to the hundreds of people killed in the battle, there are still 3,000 in the ** army! On the night when the Independent Brigade was reorganized into the Self-Defense Force, Brigade Commander Feng ordered the troops to surround the Tianmen Gate, and when he announced the start of the wedding ceremony and the cannon was played, three thousand soldiers placed three platoon guns neatly over the White Bird Garden.

The gunfire was louder than the sound of artillery, but it did not suppress everyone's jungle sound.

Grandma Mei said, "From now on, we can only call Cousin Yuan!" ”

The many people who poured into the White Sparrow Garden shouted one after another: "Round cousin! Round cousin! ”

The members of the independent brigade who were free from the rain of bullets sat together and only cared about drinking, and the groom Dong Chongli used the excuse of toasting and secretly kicked a few times. The person who was kicked understood, and the people with the independent brigade shouted loudly: "Mr. Dong married a round cousin, we have to find a deflated cousin!" ”

The people who made trouble in the new house finally dispersed, Dong Chongli looked at the lights, and it took a long time to lift the red hijab in front of him, and changed his name like others: "Cousin Yuan, you go to sleep first, I'll think about something later." ”
