Chapter VI

1

Really, when I think of the broken lifeline, I will have an extremely low self-esteem in my heart, which will turn into anger, and then I want to kill people in particular! However, on that unforgettable Chinese New Year's Eve, I did not kill anyone, and I will not kill my benefactor. I just carried the ghost head knife and came to the river beach on the edge of the Xiangjiang River, howling and waving the knife in the howling wind and snow.

……

On a warm spring day, I left Lei Gongwan and the kind and bitter Feng family father and daughter. I'm leaving, and no one can stop me. That day, I was planting bud valley with the Feng family father and daughter on the hillside, and I saw a sailboat parked at the Leigong Bay ferry in the distance. I stood there, my eyes fixed on the boat. Feng Santong seemed to know my thoughts, and he said: "Mazi, Zhu Si is here, he said that he was going to pass through Leigong Bay with goods in the spring, and he came to take you away." There you go! ”

Qiulan looked at the boat sadly.

Knowing that she couldn't stop me from leaving, she silently turned around and walked into the woods on the other side of the hill.

Feng Santong was expressionless: "Mazi, go pack your things and go, don't let Zhu Si wait for a long time, he still has to rush the waterway." ”

I looked at Qiulan's back.

Feng Santong said again: "Go, leave her alone, it's her life, you have no fate after all, let's go-"

I admit that I am a ruthless and unrighteous person, my conscience was eaten by dogs, and the father and daughter of the Feng family had no way to keep me with their kindness and their affection. I gritted my teeth and wanted to say something to Feng Santong, but I couldn't say anything. I just knelt down at him, kowtowed three times, and then stood up and walked away without looking back. In fact, at that time, my heart was clutched by an invisible hand.

The anchor was lifted, and the ship moved down the river.

I stood at the stern of the boat, looking up the hillside.

Feng Santong stood there, waving at me incessantly. My heart fluctuated, and I said in my heart, Daddy Feng, I may not be able to repay you in this life, I will be your son in the next life!

Suddenly, I saw Qiulan rushing out of the woods like crazy and rushing towards the edge of the Xiangjiang River.

She shouted as she ran, "Brother, you wait for me-"

Zhu Si stood beside me and said, "Mazi, is the boat docking?" ”

I shook my head.

Qiulan ran, her hair fluttering in the spring wind, and her voice pierced the fog of time: "Brother, wait for me, brother!" Brother, you can take me with you, brother-"

My eyes were fascinated by something.

It's a blur.

Zhu Si shouted to the shore: "Sister Qiulan, go back, Mazi is a bastard, his heart is beaten with iron, you forget about him, bastard!" Sister Qiulan, go back, don't chase after you, he won't take you away-"

I couldn't say anything.

By the time my eyes cleared again, the ship had already passed Lei Gong Bay, and I could no longer see Qiulan, and I could no longer hear her cry of blood.

2

I originally wanted to take Zhu Si's cargo ship out to look for the team, but I don't know where Shangguan Xiong and their team went. I was like a headless fly, scurrying around the chaotic land, although Zhu Si said to me when I got off the boat, you really can't get along outside, just go back to Leigong Bay, there is no one in this world who loves you more than Qiulan.

I am an arrow that shoots out, and I don't know how to turn back, and I can't turn back.

For a long time, I wandered around Xiangxi. Once, when I heard that the Red Army was operating in Guizhou, I went to Guizhou, but with great effort, I could not find any trace of the Red Army. I still often dream of Shangguan Xiong in the middle of the night, and Shangguan Xiong is always bloody in my dreams. Whether he is dead or alive is a difficult knot in my heart. I did not dare to openly seek out the Red Army, and if the White Army found out that I was a scattered Red Army, they would have to arrest me and behead me. I don't want to die yet, I don't want to die like that until I find Shangguanxiong, especially at the hands of the White Army, that is my greatest shame.

I didn't find the Red Army in Guizhou, and I turned back to Hunan, and I wanted to go back to Jiangxi, because when the Red Army left the Central Soviet District, it said that it would fight back, and maybe the Red Army had already fought back. My idea was ridiculous and naΓ―ve, but I did think that way. But there was always some news, one moment that the Red Army was in Hubei, and the other that the Red Army had arrived in Henan, and my thoughts were always swayed by those rumors, so I dispelled the idea of returning to Jiangxi and wandered around, looking for the ranks of the Red Army.

During my wanderings, I always made a living by acting as an artist.

What is the life of a person, maybe it is really a fateful thing, I never dreamed that I would find it and enter the ranks of the White Army.

3

In August 1937, I came to Gushi, Henan Province, and heard that the Japanese had launched a war against China. My desire to find the ranks of the Red Army was even more urgent. That night, I stayed overnight in a village called Kuangou, where the landlord was an old lady who was alone, and her two sons had been captured by the White Army, and their whereabouts were unknown. That night, before going to bed, the eldest lady and I talked about her two sons with snot and tears, and said that if I met them in the future, she asked me to tell them to find a way to go home. I understood the old lady's feelings, so I agreed to her.

I often fall into a state of drowsiness, I know that I am awake, or I feel that I am awake, but my body cannot move, my chest is like a big stone pressed against it, and my limbs seem to be bound by ropes. I did the same this night. It's a very dangerous state, and I feel so scared that I want to shout but I can't. I heard the sound of the door slamming in this state.

My brain became very clear, who was slamming on the door of the old lady in the middle of the night?

There was also a fierce call from outside the door: "Open the door, open the door!" ”

The old lady nervously said at the door of my room: "Young man, you should quickly escape through the back door, the Kuomintang has come to arrest the strong man!" ”

I know very well what it is to catch the strong men, that is, to capture the young and middle-aged people to serve as soldiers in the White Army. When I heard the old lady's call, I was very anxious, but I just couldn't get up. Beads of sweat broke out on my forehead, and that's good.

The old lady didn't open the door, but just stood in the door and said, "Let's go, my two sons have been taken away by you, what are you going to do!" ”

The people outside said: "Don't be verbose, open the door quickly, who doesn't say that, lie to the ghost!" ”

In a few moments, the door was smashed open, and many of the White soldiers rushed in with a scream, and they pushed the old lady aside, and went into the house to search. A soldier kicked open the door to my room, and I jumped up as if untied, and before I could use the ghost knife that had followed me for years, several guns were put on my head and body.

"Don't move, I'll kill you if I move!" The soldier said.

I stood there motionless, knowing the consequences of my rash moves.

A hoarse voice outside the room said, "Is there anyone in the room?" ”

The soldier who pointed a gun at me said, "Platoon Commander Yang, there is a person in the house!" ”

The hoarse voice said, "Old woman, didn't you say that there is no one at home, why did a person pop up again?" Didn't you lie to us? ”

The eldest lady said: "Boss, I really didn't lie to you, my two sons were really arrested by you to be soldiers, more than two years, there is no news at all!" In the house is the son of my relative, look at me a lonely old woman and pitiful, come all the way to see me, you must not embarrass him, do not arrest him! ”

Platoon Commander Yang walked into the room with a box gun and shone a flashlight on my face: "Hehe, it's still a pockmark!" ”

I said coldly, "What do you want to do?" ”

Platoon Commander Yang said, "What do you say I want to do?" Mom, take it away for Lao Tzu! ”

A few soldiers pushed and shoved me out the door.

I exclaimed, "You let me bring my stuff!" ”

One of the soldiers said, "Bring one!" When you get to the team, you have everything! ”

I shouted again, "I'm going to bring my stuff!" ”

At this time, the old lady took out the ghost head knife I had wrapped in a black cloth and my baggage, chased after me, handed it to me, and said, "Child, I have harmed you!" If you don't come to see me, they won't take me away!" O iniquity! ”

I said to the eldest lady, "Auntie, go back, take care!" I'm fine! ”

In this way, I was captured by the White Army and became a White Army soldier. This is my fate, I think this catastrophe is predestined, and I can't hide from it. To be honest, I wasn't scared, I think I've been wandering like a wild dog for more than three years, and it's not a good taste. Now that I have a place to eat and clothe, why not? Besides, I have my own little abacus in my heart, the White Army will always fight with the Red Army, and if they find the Red Army, it means that I have found the Red Army, and at that time, I will be able to ...... It's just that when I think of the half of my life in my lower body, I feel an extraordinary shame and anger in my heart, which is the mark left by the white army, which always reminds me that they are my enemies, and I am now with the enemy! Therefore, I often hide in no man's land, howling into the wilderness, like a wolf!

Yang Platoon Leader's name is Yang Sen, tall and stout, with a black stubble on his face. From the first time we met eyes, I sensed that something was going to happen between us. When I got to their ranks, I was very unaccustomed to them, and I was always on guard against them, for fear that if they knew that I was once a company commander of the Red Army, they might pull me out and kill me, so I was silent and careful in everything.

That day, I sat alone under a tree and wiped my knife.

Yang Sen walked up to me with a big grin and said to me, "Mazi, show the knife to Lao Tzu." ”

I stood up and handed him the knife.

He looked at the knife, then picked it up, and said, "What a knife!" ”

I thought to myself: "Count you kid knowledgeable, fortunately, you haven't touched me before, and fought against me, otherwise you might have become a ghost under my knife!" I looked at him with a smirk: "This is a very ordinary knife. ”

Yang Sen looked at me and said, "This knife is not ordinary! ”

I don't talk much.

He handed me back the knife and said, "This knife has drunk human blood!" ”

I was shocked, his vision as a professional soldier was very accurate, but I had to play dumb and say in surprise, "Is it? How I can't see it. I picked this knife because I liked it, so I took it with me. ”

Yang Sen suddenly said: "You are not a simple person, you have also killed people!" ”

I said, "Platoon Commander Yang, I'm an honest man and I've never killed anyone. ”

Yang Sen smiled: "There is a murderous aura in your eyes!" ”

I said, "yes, why don't I feel it?" ”

Yang Sen said: "Boy, do it yourself, and use your scheming and strength to kill Japanese devils in the future!" ”

I'm speechless.

Shortly after I was captured, something happened. I almost killed a man, and I almost got shot myself. On that day, the team was stationed in Xinyang City. When they returned, they talked about visiting the kiln with a smile on their faces, and the soldiers gathered around the old soldier. At that time, Yang Sen and several junior officers of the company commander were drinking in a restaurant near the station. I lay in a corner and closed my eyes to recuperate, thinking that Shangguan Xiong didn't know where he was now.

The old soldier's name was Song Qigui, and as he spoke, his eyes fell on me through the gaps in the soldiers.

He said with an evil face: "Why is that pockmark always incompatible with us, I doubt that he is a man!" ”

The soldiers laughed and turned their eyes to me. I am a very sensitive person, I know that Song Qigui is talking about me, I say in my heart, you say, say I can do anything, I must be patient now, one day, I will let you see Lao Tzu's methods!

When they saw that I was indifferent, they became even more unscrupulous. Song Qigui said, "You went over and held him downβ€”"

Those already boring soldiers heard his words and giggled at me, if I jumped, these soldiers may not be my opponents, but I told myself, don't let them know that I have martial arts, as long as they don't touch my bottom line, just bully me, I don't need to make a move. I didn't jump, I was still lying there, but I had opened my eyes. I don't understand why they can't see the murderous aura in my eyes, including the veteran oil son Song Qigui.

I was held down by a couple of strong soldiers, and I shouted, "What are you going to do!" ”

One of the soldiers smiled and said, "You'll know what Old Soldier Song is going to do in a while!" ”

Another soldier shouted at Song Qigui: "Old soldier Song, come here, let's hold down the pockmarks!" ”

I yelled, "Don't joke with me, let me go!" ”

Song Qigui threw away the cigarette in his hand, stood up, and walked towards me with a wicked smile on his face. Ignoring my shouts, he walked up to me, crouched down, unbuckled my pants as fast as he could, and ripped off my pants! At that moment, a wave of blood rushed to my head, my eyes were hot, it must be blood-red, and I knew very well in my heart that I was going to lose control soon. Those soldiers, including Song Qigui, saw the broken life of me, and they were all stunned, and the hand holding me relaxed. Their expressions froze there, Song Qigui didn't expect it to look like this, and he didn't expect that I would stand up like an angry leopard, quickly pull up my pants, tighten my trouser belt, and then howl and pounced on the stunned Song Qigui, locked his throat with one hand, and yelled at him viciously: "Fuck your mother, you are looking for death!" ”

Two soldiers who usually had a good relationship with Song Qigui tried to come up to help him, but I kicked them aside one by one, and the other soldiers stood there watching the excitement. In fact, the veteran oil son Song Qigui is not my opponent at all, after I choked his throat, he had no ability to resist at all, his face turned red, and he made a gurgling sound in his throat, and his whole body twitched.

My hand on his throat was getting harder and harder, and I was already furious!

Maybe at this time, the soldiers saw the murderous aura in my eyes, and at that time, I was full of murderous aura all over my body!

A soldier saw that the situation was not good and rushed out.

After a while, Yang Sen, whose face was flushed, rushed in with a box gun.

Song Qigui is rolling his eyes, give me one more minute, and I will kill him. Seeing this, Yang Sen slammed a shot at the roof and shouted, "Mazi, let go of Lao Tzu!" ”

Hearing the gunshot, I came back to reality from my angry state, I let go, and Song Qigui collapsed to the ground like a dead dog, panting and coughing loudly.

Janssen ordered the soldiers to tie me up.

The company commander said he was going to shoot me.

I also thought, they won't spare me, I've already made a heart, I'm dead, I'm clean when I'm dead, and I don't have to live in this doggy world to be humiliated! I waited for that bullet to pierce my head! I was locked up in a dark room.

In the middle of the night, the door opened. Yang Sen walked in with a lantern in one hand and a basket of things in the other. He kicked me: "You kid has a kind, I said, there is a murderous aura in your eyes!" You almost killed yourself today, if you kill Song Qigui! ”

I was speechless, just stared at him, and said in my heart, if you want to kill, you can kill whatever you want, what are you talking about!

Yang Sen loosened the tie for me, and his tone softened: "To be honest, if I were replaced, I would have killed that dog, Song Qigui is indeed not a good thing, but he is joking with you, the crime does not deserve to die!" Besides, he doesn't know you-"

I didn't want to hear him say something about my life, I coughed vigorously, and he realized something, so he stopped, and then diverted the subject: "I can see that you are a man, so I beg the company commander, don't shoot you, we will soon go up to fight the devil, at that time, you must be a good killer!" ”

I let out a long sigh.

Yang Sen said: "In my life, I admire bloody men the most, don't look at your usual silence, I know in my heart that you are not an ordinary person!" ”

As he spoke, Yang Sen took out a roast chicken from the basket and handed it to me: "Brother, eat it!" Forget about the daytime and go to the battlefield, we are all good brothers! ”

I took the roast chicken and took a big bite to nibble on, I was indeed hungry.

He took out another bottle of soju from the basket, took a big sip of himself, and handed it to me: "Drink, pockmarks, and dissipate your anger!" ”

I pulled out a hand, took the bottle, and took a big sip.

Yang Sen laughed: "Happy, happy!" ”

He treats me as a brother, and in a sense, I treat him as a brother. For the first time in my life, I felt that not everyone in the White Army was hateful.

5

Although Yang Sen said that he was five big and three coarse, he cried, which made people feel like a child. I haven't cried since Shangguan Ming's death, but seeing Yang Sen's bitter crying, I realized that I wasn't so hard-hearted. It was one day after autumn, Yang Sen received the news of his mother's death, and he fainted on the spot, foaming at the mouth unconscious. After a while, he woke up and began to cry.

That crying attracted a large number of soldiers. Most of these soldiers were poor people, and most of them were filial sons who depended on their parents before becoming soldiers. I can't remember what my parents looked like, I only remember Huang Qigu and Shangguan Ming, thinking of them, I feel a little sad, but I won't shed tears. Yang Sen cried to death, a handful of snot and tears, and he looked like a dutiful son. A few soldiers persuaded him to mourn, but Yang Sen gradually stopped crying under the persuasion of his fellow villagers.

"Who's crying!" A broken drink came.

When the soldiers saw that it was the battalion commander Zhang Fakui who arrived, they scattered one by one, because they smelled the strong smell of wine on Zhang Fakui's body, he was a drunkard, and he could do anything if he drank too much. Yang Sen told me that if you smell the smell of alcohol on Zhang Fakui's body, it is best to stay away from him.

"Report to the chief, Platoon Leader Yang's mother is dead." A bold soldier snapped to the ground and gave a military salute.

"If my mother is dead, she is dead, what are you crying about! In these years, what is a dead person! Zhang Fakui said rudely with blood-red eyes.

"Yes, dead people are nothing! But Platoon Commander Yang died of his own mother! The bold soldier was still standing there and said.

"Presumptuous, this guy has a lot of guts! Drag Lao Tzu out and give him fifty lashes! Zhang Fakui said angrily.

A few retinues dragged the daring soldier away.

Yang Sen's face turned the color of pig liver, and when he heard Zhang Fakui's words, his heart was on fire, and when he saw his fellow countryman Li Gui being dragged to beat, he suddenly became angry, he roared lowly, rushed towards Zhang Fakui, and hit him with an old punch in the face. Janssen is tall and big, and this punch is quite good. Half of Zhang Fakui's face immediately became red and swollen like a cake, and then turned blue and bright. This punch woke up half of Zhang Fakui's wine, and he spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, so angry that the flesh at the corner of his mouth kept trembling, and it was a horsewhip on Yang Sen's face, and blood-red streaks immediately appeared on Yang Sen's face. Yang Sen let out an "ouch" and was about to pull out his gun, when several of Zhang Fakui's entourage pounced on him like wolves and twisted him deadly. Yang Sen scolded: "Fuck Zhang Fakui, the eighth generation of your ancestor, you can't fucking die!" I think at the beginning, in order to save you, Lao Tzu was also shot on his body! Bastard! ”

"Pull it down and kill it!" Zhang Fakui was angry, annoyed and angry, and shouted with gold in his eyes.

Janssen kept yelling and swearing.

When Zhang Fakui heard the sound of the gun being drawn, he shouted: "Wait." ”

The retinue who were about to attack immediately ceased their actions.

"This kid is loyal, let him go." Zhang Fakui covered his swollen face and said that maybe his wine had completely sobered up.

I stood there and watched coldly as it happened.

Zhang Fakui turned around and left.

He didn't take a few steps, turned back, walked up to the stunned Yang Sen, and said, "Dare to die for the lack of company commanders, you go to the top!" ”

After saying that, he walked away.

Janssen was a little overwhelmed.

Yang Sen didn't know whether to be sad or happy, of course, joy came from sadness, happy was that he became the company commander of the Dare to Die Company like this, and sad that his poor mother died without a son to send her to the end.

6

Yang Sen became the company commander, and when he took office, he also brought his fellow villager Li Gui, who was whipped, and also brought me and the veteran oil son Song Qigui. Yang Sen made Li Gui and Song Qigui platoon commanders, and arranged me under Song Qigui, and did not give me any position, but when I had food and drink, he would call me up.

Yang Sen handed over the peach blossom luck.

On this day, the team came to Gulong Town, and they settled in Gulong Town. As soon as the team was stationed, the soldiers went to the town's liquor shop and kiln to have fun in groups of three or five, all with guns and knives on their backs.

Yang Sen was bored, he was not the kind of man who ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and he was flustered everywhere the team went. He sat at the table and drank tea alone. He always thought about going to the front line to fight the little Japanese devils, and the days without fighting made him live like years, in fact, at that time, we were getting closer and closer to war. Janssen and I have something in common on this point, I want to fight, whoever I fight, I want to fight.

At this time, Li Gui walked in.

"Company commander, I'm having a treat today, let's go, let's drink." Li Gui seemed very excited, in fact, he also saw that Yang Sen was depressed and wanted to invite him out to have fun.

"Have a drink! Where did you get the money? Yang Sen said angrily.

"Look." Li Gui took out a money bag from his pocket and shook it, and the silver dollars in the money bag rattled.

"Keep it for your wife and children!" Yang Sen said lazily.

"Big brother, I have always obeyed you, and I will not suffer if I follow you. There are people to take care of the wife and children at home, so today I will reward my little brother with a face and go out for two drinks! Li Gui was almost brittle.

Yang Sen saw that Li Gui was very sincere, so he agreed.

Yang Sen thought for a while and said to Li Gui: "Call Mazi!" ”

Yang Sen carried a box gun, swaggered with Li Gui and me, out of the door of the barracks, and the guard immediately stood upright, Yang Sen walked towards the street with his chest straight.

Yang Sen took us to walk on the streets of the town, passers-by avoided us, the chief with the box gun in such a small town, in the eyes of those poor people are fierce and vicious, Yang Sen's face is already fierce, and it gives people a terrible feeling. Among the three of us, Li Gui is handsome, and my pockmarked face also looks very ghostly, how can passers-by not avoid us.

The street was filled with a circle of soldiers, who were noisy and noisy, as if they were fighting over something.

"Go over and see!" Janssen said.

So we walked over.

"Lao Tzu out of the ocean!" A slumped-nosed soldier screamed loudly.

"I'll take out six oceans!" Another fat soldier shouted.

"Six oceans is enough for our family to live for a year." A delicate soldier said.

"How much rice can you buy for six oceans, we can't get six oceans even if we are tired and tired, it's so generous, I don't know where you got this money." Another soldier said.

"This woman is very good-looking, and it is worth it, and sixty oceans are also worth it!" Another soldier said drooling.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Li Gui shouted loudly.

Those noisy soldiers, seeing that it was Yang Sen, the company commander of the Dare to Death Company, came, and quickly got out of the way, but they didn't leave, and they still stood there watching the excitement.

Yang Sen stepped forward and saw a ragged woman squatting on the ground with a straw mark stuck in her head, and a piece of paper in front of her, which was full of words. The woman had a beautiful face and beautiful eyes, but there was a sadness and grievance. Yang Sen didn't know how to read, so he asked, "What is she doing?" ”

Li Gui has studied private school for two years, and it is okay to recognize these words. Li Gui said: "This girl is a singer, she just died of her father, and she wants to sell herself to bury her blind father." ”

Janssen's eyebrows twitched.

His gaze met that of the woman, and his eyes suddenly became flustered.

"Poor man!" I said sadly in my heart, I suddenly remembered Feng Santong's father and daughter in Lei Gongwan, how are they now? If Feng Santong dies and has no money to bury him, will Qiulan also sell herself to bury her father? I shuddered, and I didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Li Gui, how many oceans do you have?" Janssen asked.

"Seven." Li Gui said.

"How much does she want?" Yang Sen asked again.

Li Gui hurriedly replied: "Three oceans." ”

"What are you bastards still doing standing here, get out of here! Lao Tzu asked for this woman. Yang Sen yelled at the onlookers.

The soldiers saw that Yang Sen's fierce anger was great, and his hands pressed the box gun, but they didn't dare to say anything, and slipped away one by one. It was left with Yang Sen, Li Gui and me, and the woman. Two soldiers were watching us from afar, and they were spotted by Janssen, who yelled at them again, "You guys don't fucking get out of here!" ”

The two soldiers saw that the situation was not good and ran quickly.

"What's your name?" Yang Sen asked softly.

The woman looked at Janssen in confusion.

"The chief asked your name, and said." Li Gui said.

The woman said sadly, "My name is Peach." ”

"Pinkβ€”" Janssen repeated softly, his eyebrows twitching again, and I could tell that Janssen, who was in his thirties and had not yet married a wife, was moved by this woman.

"Li Gui, let's stop drinking today, give her all the money, and let her bury her father." After Yang Sen said this to Li Gui, he wiped his eyes, turned around and left, walked two steps and turned back to us: "You help her to take care of it, a woman's family is not easy to do." ”

Yang Sen turned and walked away.

Li Gui looked at Yang Sen suspiciously, very puzzled.

The woman knelt down towards Yang Sen's back: "Benefactorβ€”"

7

That night, Li Gui actually brought the peach back. Yang Sen married Taohong and found an empty room to live in. Yang Sen was a husband for the first time, and in those days, he was full of red light, indulging in the love with Peach, and happily invited people to drink every day, and asked me to accompany him every time he drank. I had an indescribable taste in my heart, and every time I finished drinking, I ran out of town and howled at Dabie Mountain! No one knows the pain in my heart! I even hated Janssen a little, thinking that he was deliberately humiliating me by asking me to go to drink, and I cursed him viciously in my heart! People will always have abnormal thoughts in some abnormal states.

Pink gave Janssen a taste of being a man, and it also caused him trouble.

Suddenly, the battalion commander Zhang Fakui called him over.

Zhang Fakui smiled: "Yang Sen, you kid is so beautiful." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Mr. Janssen said he was quite convinced.

"What's that woman's name?" Zhang Fakui asked.

"Pink." Janssen replied.

"RosΓ© - well, good name. I heard that the peach looks like a fairy? Zhang Fakui asked with a smile.

Janssen immediately replied, "Where, where." ”

"Hmph." Zhang Fakui changed the subject, "Yang Sen, what do you say about me?" ”

"You are our benefactor. You're good to us, I know! Janssen said.

"You're exalting yourself too much." Zhang Fakui said, "Are you not doing your job properly if you have a wife?" ”

Yang Sen seemed to understand the meaning of Zhang Fakui's words, and immediately said, "Don't dare." ”

"Forgivable, newlyweds, it's understandable to be sweet, but I also want to remind you that we are all people with our heads on our belts, and the Japanese may call us one day!"

"Yes." Yang Sen said, "We don't dare to forget, we always think about when the team will pull up and fight the Japanese devils of the dog day!" ”

Zhang Fakui smiled: "Take your soldiers well, you will fight the battle!" ”

When Yang Sen left Zhang Fakui, he seemed to have a premonition in his heart.

A few days later, the battalion commander Zhang Fakui ordered Yang Sen to take a few brothers to the front to reconnoiter the Japanese forces. Janssen took a dozen or so people with him, including me, and he took me with him everywhere, and he trusted me unusually much, and to be honest, it was easy for me to kill him and escape when I went out on a mission, but I didn't do that. Another point is that at that time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had already cooperated, and they turned their guns on the Japanese devils together, and my desire to find the Red Army team was not so urgent. What I'm thinking about in my heart is Shangguan Xiong, I don't know if he is dead or alive, the two of us are two bitter gourds on a vine, I can't leave him alone, I want to be with him because I take care of each other.

When Yang Sen left Pink, he naturally had an indescribable taste, and he looked like he was soulless along the way. RosΓ© was the first woman in his life, and he was completely obsessed with her, and I understood him. This is the war years, the Japanese devil has entered the Dabie Mountains, pressing towards the defense area of our troops step by step, it is impossible for him to go around with peach, after all, peach is not an object, it can be tied to his trouser belt. On the night before Yang Sen left, Peach said to Yang Sen affectionately: "Follow you in this life and this life, benefactor!" This sentence moved Yang Sen to tears. He decided to die that there were only two women in his life who loved him, one was his poor mother, the fifth aunt, and the other was the woman who slept next to him, Pink. Although the love of these two women for him has different substance and content, he will not forget it until he dies.

When we circled back to Gulong from the front, Janssen was gone. He asked many people, but he didn't know the whereabouts of Pink, and he was very sad.

The sad appearance of a stout man is very pitiful.

I thought, what would have happened if I had brought Qiulan out and she suddenly disappeared?

Where the hell did Pink go?

Li Gui said to Yang Sen: "Isn't it just a dusty woman, why bother, don't hurt your body and bones." ”

"Stinky shit, you fucking know it!" Yang Sen scolded Li Gui viciously.

Li Gui didn't dare to say anything, but just accompanied Yang Sen to be sad. I didn't say anything, just found two bottles of soju, handed him one, and drank with him, and I also learned to use wine to drown my sorrows when I was depressed. Peach is a woman who is too beautiful to control, I can't describe her beauty, I only know that after a waste person like me has seen her, he will also be moved, and a fire will burn in his heart, I can only howl like a wolf in a no-man's land, venting my inner ** and sadness. I think Peach must have been taken away by the man who took a fancy to him, but, in Gulong Town, who would dare to move the woman of Yang Sen, the commander of the company commander of the third battalion of the fifth regiment of the new security regiment?

My judgment was not wrong.

Taohong did not leave Gulong Town without permission, but was occupied by Yang Sen's top boss Zhang Fakui, the battalion commander, Zhang Fakui saw that the paper could not contain the fire, and at a banquet, he told Yang Sen the whole thing. On the third night of our return, Zhang Fakui invited Yang Sen to drink, and Yang Sen wanted to take me there, but the person who came to invite him refused, saying that Zhang Fakui only invited him alone.

The dinner was quite rich, with chickens, ducks, and fish, all of which were good things from that season. After a few rounds of drinking, Yang Senbei came from the wine, sighed and said: "A man can't even keep a woman, it's really better to live than to die!" ”

Zhang Fakui didn't take anyone in his eyes in his life, and after listening to Yang Sen's lamentation, he actually laughed.

Janssen was laughed inexplicably.

Zhang Fakui seemed to be a little drunk, and said: "Isn't it just a peach, a dusty woman, and she may not have much real feelings, why should you be angry, we people, we don't know tomorrow's death today, and we may not be able to keep anything, I think Brother Yang should relax!" Drink when you should drink, eat when you should eat, and don't treat yourself badly! ”

Don't listen to Zhang Fakui, just listen to him say this, the wine turns over the river and the sea in the stomach. He cried out in a mournful voice, "Peach, my wifeβ€”"

Zhang Fakui didn't pay attention to Yang Sen's wailing at all, and continued: "There are many women like Taohong, I'll help you find another one, as long as you follow me with an iron heart, I'm afraid that there will be no women." Let me tell you the truth, Peach was raised by me, this woman is not a singer, she is not very good, as long as she is given money. ”

Yang Sen listened to Zhang Fakui's words and was stunned.

Yang Sen was surprised by his battalion commander more than once, but this surprise made him suddenly sober up. He saw the two entourages behind Zhang Fakui's battalion commander smiling, and his hand never left the handle of the box gun on his waist for a moment, Yang Sen did not dare to act rashly, he knew that as long as he moved, he would die, but his heart flowed bright red blood.

He almost passed out.

Zhang Fakui smiled coldly at him.

He understood that he had fallen into a trap, but it was already too late.

He really wanted to kill Zhang Fakui, but he didn't dare to do it. He didn't expect that a woman who was so tender to him would throw herself into the arms of others so easily, angry and desolate in his heart, what the hell is this! But he still left the banquet specially set up for him by the battalion commander Zhang Fakui very sensibly.

In fact, if he had not been rational that night, he would have died. Battalion Commander Zhang Fakui set up that banquet to tell him the cruel reality. Zhang Fakui saw that he didn't do anything and let him go, Yang Sen was like a little ant in Zhang Fakui's eyes, he could pinch it as much as he wanted.

Janssen was grief-stricken.

He couldn't come to terms with this harsh reality. He decided that he could not have a second woman in his life.

But what about Janssen?

Janssen aged much older overnight.

8

Li Gui persuaded him: "Isn't it just a woman, what's the big deal!" After the war in the future, go back to my hometown and let my mother tell you a kiss, it's good to find a woman from a good family, you are now a chief, and I am afraid that I will not find a wife! ”

Yang Sen opened his eyes: "You shut up Lao Tzu!" ”

Li Gui didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to stand aside.

Li Gui is also a loyal and upright man. He has always regarded Yang Sen as his own brother, and the eldest brother is breaking his intestines at this time, and he is not comfortable on the side.

This usually honest man gradually became annoyed, and he scolded: "Raised by a son of a bitch, rabbits don't eat grass by the nest, and this battalion commander is too untasteful." ”

Janssen was speechless.

Li Gui suddenly picked up the Hanyang Build, pulled the bolt of the gun in an uproar, and rushed away.

Yang Sen didn't say anything.

It was precisely because he did not say anything and did not agree or oppose Li Gui's actions that he buried Li Gui's life.

Autumn is cool.

The cool autumn wind couldn't stop the bullet from coming out of the chamber, and it couldn't stop the bullet from shooting into Li Gui's chest. Li Gui was hit by eight bullets and fell under the steps in front of the battalion commander Zhang Fakui. Life or death seems to be fate. Even if Yang Sen stopped Li Gui, he would save his life. Yang Sen has always been haunted by Li Gui's death, Li Gui died for him, as long as he remembered the scene of Li Gui's body being hit by eight bullets in front of the battalion commander's door, he would stand up tall and roar: "I fuck his ancestors for eight generations!" ”

Li Gui left Yang Sen's scorching sight alone.

About half an hour later, Yang Sen heard eight gunshots in a row. He jumped out of his chair and rushed out the door with a box gun.

Yang Sen never expected that Li Gui would be shot dead without firing a single shot, and he was shot eight times and fell in a pool of blood. It turned out that Zhang Fakui, the battalion commander, had been on guard for a long time and knew that someone was going to come to seek revenge. Zhang Fakui didn't expect that it was Li Gui who died, not me. I admit that I am a grandson on this issue, I am not righteous at all, Yang Sen regards me as a brother in vain, I can't kill Zhang Fakui for him, I have my own ideas.

Yang Sen saw Li Gui's corpse lying horizontally at the foot of the steps outside Zhang Fakui's door, his eyes bulging, and he screamed in his heart: "Brother, you died so unjustly!" I killed you! No one heard Yang Sen's screams in his heart, but Zhang Fakui saw the bitter hatred in his heart from Yang Sen's demeanor.

Zhang Fakui sneered and asked, "Company Commander Yang, your subordinates want to assassinate this seat, do you think they should be killed?" ”

Zhang Fakui's two fierce eyes pierced Yang Sen, Yang Sen felt a bone-piercing cold on his back, but his head became hot, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared.

"Should you kill or shouldn't you kill?" Zhang Fakui asked.

A few guns slowly raised the muzzle of the black hole irregularly.

Beads of sweat ran down Janssen's forehead and fell to the ground, his hand reaching for the handle of the box.

"Should I kill or not?" Zhang Fakui asked angrily with his eyes protruding.

Hearing a few pulls on the bolt, Janssen's hand trembled away from the handle of the box gun.

"Damn it." These two words came out of Janssen's mouth, and then the whole person collapsed.

"Hahaha......" Zhang Fakui laughed proudly, laughed for a long time before stopping, and said, "Okay, there is a kind, I didn't see the wrong person, I didn't see the wrong person, you are my good brother!" ”

Janssen was speechless.

Zhang Fakui shouted: "Come on, drag Li Gui's body to the wild to feed the wild dogs." ”

Several soldiers came over and dragged Li Gui's body away.

Yang Sen stood there dumbfounded, as if he hadn't heard what the battalion commander Zhang Fakui said just now.

Yang Sen looked up and felt that the autumn sun was so hot that it burned his eyes.

Janssen took me out into the wilderness.

"Hornβ€”"

"Hornβ€”"

Yang Sen angrily raised his gun and shot the wild dog that was biting Li Gui's body. He was very sad. He took me to the wilderness to collect Li Gui's body. Li Gui's body was torn apart by wild dogs, and he was unrecognizable, and he couldn't recognize it as Li Gui.

Janssen was in agony.

We picked up a large pile of dry firewood and put Li Gui's body on it. He struck the flint with his trembling hand, and the flint spat out sparks and burst into the hay, and the fire burned. The fire grew stronger and stronger, and there was a crackling sound.

The fire burned Li Gui's body.

The smell of burnt corpses wafted in the wind.

I asked Yang Sen why Li Gui's body was cremated instead of burying it in the earth, as the saying goes.

Yang Sen said in a hoarse voice, "So that his soul can float back to his hometown." ”

I said, "If I die, you will burn me and let my soul drift back to my hometown." ”

Yang Sen nodded: "If I die, you will burn me too!" ”

I nodded.

Yang Sen's eyes were wet, and he gritted his teeth and swore to avenge this blood revenge.

We watched as the fire ruthlessly devoured Li Gui's body.

The whole sky was filled with smoke and a foul smell.

Li Gui is dead, his soul may be drifting back to his hometown, but we who are alive still have a long way to go and still have a lot to do.

What fate awaits us?

We couldn't have foreseen it.
