Lu Zhaopeng experienced his first crisis since joining the National Revolution, and he was almost arrested.

It was a hot and unbearable night when Bailuyuan had just entered the dog days, he wrung a bucket of water from the well to the seepage pit next to the bamboo altar, wiped off the sweat and hung it on the bamboo branches, and poured it down from the top of his head with a gourd scoop full of water, and the cold well water stirred up a layer of goosebumps all over his body. At this moment, two strangers walked up to him and asked, "Which house does Principal Lu live in?" Zhaopeng stopped rubbing his hands and wanted to say, "I am", but when the words came out, they completely changed: "Looking for Principal Lu?" He and I live in the third house in the south row next door, enter through the aisle, and turn right to get there. He had just finished washing and lay down. He saw two or three people standing in the darkness of the backyard. He felt a chill down his spine for that moment, and at the same time realized that something was wrong, he scooped up another scoop of water and poured it on his head, rubbing his hands together on his chest, and rubbing his skin so that his skin creaked. The two men walked in the direction of the aisle, and the three men behind them also hurried up. Their movements and steps reminded him of unseasoned hunters. Zhao Peng tore off the sweat from the bamboo branches, ran around the bamboo altar to the root of the wall, and grabbed the head of the wall, and the sound of the falling crumbs of the loess wall attracted gunshots. It was only after he climbed over the fence that he felt fear, and the fields where the wheat had just been harvested were so unsheltered that even a rabbit could not hide. He ran along the fence for a while towards the south, and then on an idea, he jumped over the fence and entered the school. Judging from the direction of the gunfire and shouting, he saw that the five captors had split into two directions and pursued him north and east. He walked to the bamboo altar to wash away the loess sweat mud rubbed on his body, and put the sweat jacket on his body, when the instructors all gathered around in surprise. "They're starting to get started." Zhaopeng said, "If you want to go, leave as soon as possible, don't wait for them to come again." He had already made arrangements that all the teachers who had disclosed their identities would leave Bailu Town Primary School, and the only teacher Gong who had not disclosed his identity would hold his ground. He left the still suspicious faculty and returned to his house, took out the spear hidden in the wall behind the bookshelf, tugged it to his waist and put on a uniform, and hurried away. Several party members and teachers sent him to the back door of the school without speaking. "I'll go find you." With that, Zhao Peng turned around and walked into the wilderness in the dark night. In the following twenty years or so, he experienced countless sinister crises of being watched, stalked, and hunted, but none of them were as vivid as the memories of this night's escape. This night officially marked his entry into the underground work in Bailuyuan......

It didn't happen suddenly. In the third lunar month, the peach and willow were green, and the sun was shining, and suddenly a cold snap came from the south, and Chiang Kai-shek instigated the "April 12" coup, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party split. Lu Zhaopeng returned to Bailuyuan after attending the special committee meeting of the provincial party committee, Heiwa and his 36 revolutionary brothers were eagerly hoping that he would bring back the specific plan for the implementation of land distribution from his superiors. When only he and Heiwa were present, Zhaopeng confessed to the director of the peasant association: "Chiang Kai-shek killed **!" The Northern Expedition failed!" Heiwa glared and scolded: "I'm fucking my god!" We've been flickered, we've been frustrated!" Zhaopeng said: "The special meeting of the provincial party committee decided to grasp the armament. This is the lesson of blood. This time we suffered a big loss without an army. ”

Lu Zhaopeng then went into the mountain. There was a group of fifty or sixty bandits in Getiaogou, and the two brothers Xinlong and Xinhu were the kings of the mountain, and they once captured more than 20 spears from the fleeing white-legged crow soldiers, becoming the toughest bandit in the mountains. Lu Zhaopeng's trip was to persuade the Xin brothers to transform the bandits into a revolutionary army. Heiwa went into the mountains from another way to find another group of bandits.

About ten days later, Zhaopeng returned to Bailu Town, couldn't hold back his joy and said, "We have our own army!" Heiwa said dejectedly: "I said that I have exhausted the analogy, and I can't change people." ”

The matter of land distribution was put aside, and Heiwa and his peasant union cadres were busy organizing and training the peasant cooperatives all day long. The armed team of more than 300 people, who looked quite majestic, marched in Bailu Town and dispersed, because the wheat was yellow and had to be harvested and crushed. When the wheat harvest was completed and the peach trees in the crop yard turned white and red, the revolutionary situation became more and more sinister. The provincial party headquarters of the Kuomintang jointly established by the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang announced its dissolution, and the provincial peasant association formed by the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang was also ordered to dissolve and stop all activities, and Chairman Yu, the provincial government of the Kuomintang presiding over Shaanxi, was transferred back to the Kuomintang Central Committee, and a chairman surnamed Song was replaced by Lin Shaanxi. The commander of the National Revolutionary Army stationed in Shaanxi Feng, who had been waiting for three months, finally made up his mind and voted for Chiang. He made his official statement on the 15th day of the seventh month of the solar calendar. A few days before Lu Zhaopeng fled from Bailuzhen Primary School, the iron fist of the Kuomintang could not wait for General Feng to make a public statement and purged the party early. Lu Zhaopeng pretended to defecate in a public latrine in the town, and after observing that there was no movement in Bailu Town, he slipped over from the back street and knocked on the back door of the Han tailor. As soon as he hugged Tailor Han's shoulder, he couldn't stop crying bitterly: "We have been deceived, we have been deceived!" He is too anxious to fry each other, and he is too anxious to fry each other!"

Tian Fuxian then returned to Bailuyuan, followed by eleven soldiers behind his buttocks, all of whom were in black uniforms and carrying spears. Tian Fuxian did not enter Bailu Cang directly, but made a detour to enter Bailu Town first. When he saw the familiar shopkeepers, he took the lead in clasping his fists and smiling politely: "Brother is back!" It has been half a year since he escaped from Heiwa's guillotine, and his complexion has become more and more ruddy and moisturized. When Yue Weishan was transferred from Zishui County to Ningyang County in the southern mountains, he brought Tian Fuxian with him, and he lived very freely in that barren but stable small county, where the rare birds and game in the mountains nourished the frightened and tormented body deficit in the Bailu Plain. When news of the split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party reached this small mountainous county, the wheat began to turn yellow. Yue Weishan suddenly stood up and said to Tian Fuxian: "We are going out of the mountain!" They ate pheasant, bear's paw, baby fish and other mountain specialties that night, got very drunk, and when they woke up the next day, they packed their luggage and rode into the provincial capital. Yue Weishan's attitude when he walked into the provincial party headquarters of the Kuomintang was very tough: "The current facts just prove that I am not at fault in Zishui County. Let me return the water. ”

They arrived at the county seat in the evening, and sent several police officers who were not yet old to Bailuyuan to arrest Lu Zhaopeng that night. But they didn't get their way. Yue Weishan asked Tian Fuxian to stay in the county party headquarters, but Tian Fuxian disagreed: "I still want to go back to my original place, which is the same reason that you want to go back to Zishui." Yue Weishan had to agree: "It's okay, it's okay for you to go back to the original." Bailu was originally the lair of **, and I will be relieved if you go. Yue Weishan took emergency measures to draw eleven soldiers from the county security team and handed them to Tian Fuxian: "You are majestic enough to go back to the original this time." ”

The news of Tian Fuxian's return to the original spread to all the villages in Bailuyuan in half a day. From the day he entered the White Deer Warehouse, he was blocked in the house by the people who came to visit him for two days and three nights, and the squires who had been beaten and cleaned up wept their sufferings with tears, snot and blood, and many activists of the peasant cooperatives or their old men confessed to him with shame on their faces. Tian Fuxian was immersed in the revenge he had been longing for at first, and soon came to his senses: "Go back, go back, you go back first." My brother has just come back and is too busy with too many things. He set up the militia soldiers at the door to stop anyone who came to see him. When someone couldn't see him, they entrusted gifts such as soju and snacks to the militia and handed them to him. Tian Fuxian took those things into his hands and threw them onto the rubble pile in the yard without looking at them, and a rough wave of air erupted from his nose: "It's not time to drink yet!"

Tian Fuxian convened a meeting of the township covenants of the subordinate security centers. When the villagers got together, they cried about the insults they had suffered and the bad deeds of the black babies, and almost none of them thought about what the general township had summoned them to do. "Everyone, from now on, don't say a word about yourself." Tian Fuxian impatiently stopped the endless accusations, "We have been deceived. We had been sincerely cooperating with **, but ** had shoved us into the guillotine's edge. After escaping from the sword, I will be sober, and I must practice one party and one doctrine. Now, it's time for us to do it. Tian Fuxian talked about the specific plan for the implementation of the hands-on, and summarized his ambition in one sentence: "This time we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots in Bailuyuan." ”

Tian Fuxian soon formed a militia of 278 people, and the newly recruited regiments included the children of the squires of Caidong and the children of poor families, who wore black uniform tops made by Han tailors, and their lower bodies were still wearing family-made folded waist crotch pants for the time being. After taking a collective oath under the banner of the Kuomintang, eleven veterans brought back from the county by Tian Fuxian led them to practice in the wheat stubble. The matter of convening the Bailucang villagers' meeting was also prepared, and Tian Fuxian decided to go to Bai Jiaxuan after lunch.

Bai Jiaxuan was the only one of all the leaders in the original who did not greet him. He walked into the courtyard of the Bai family, Bai Jiaxuan was resting on the kang with a mat, and there was an addictive snoring sound. After Bai Jiaxuan was woken up by the fairy grass, he was not surprised to see Tian Fuxian standing in front of him, and said calmly while wiping his eyes and face with a wet towel: "I know you went back to the original." I saw that there were too many people there, so you didn't go to join in the fun. Tian Fuxian smiled and said, "Brother, you can't compare to a shallow person." I know all about how deep your water is and how thick your soil is. My brother has come to tell you two things today. First one, you've got to the mountain this time. Bai Jiaxuan said: "I didn't go into the mountain in the first place!" Tian Fuxian said: "You are pretending to be confused. The first security station township will ask you to come out. Bai Jiaxuan said: "Didn't Zilin do a good job?" Tian Fuxian said: "Brother, you can pretend to be confused. His ** son has stirred up Bailuyuan in the dark, and a reward is being offered for arrest, can he still be a township contract?" Bai Jiaxuan said: "Since this is the settlement, I think it is not appropriate for your township contract to go out, so that Brother Zilin is suspicious that I took the opportunity to snatch his hat and wear it!" Let's talk about your last thing!" Tian Fuxian sighed regretfully and said, "Brother, you really can sit firmly." The farmer's cooperative, the dead dog Laiwa, fought and swam you, you are so patient!" Bai Jiaxuan said: "I have the right to be bitten by a dog." People, you can't deal with dogs. Tian Fuxian said: "You don't care about it, it's forbearing." You put up with it this time it bit your leg, and the next time it chokes your neck, see if you can't bear it?" Bai Jiaxuan said: "If you can say that, you can't say that. Let's not talk about that. Didn't you say two things?" Tian Fuxian had no choice but to change the topic: "I want to borrow the theater in Bailu Village for a day." Bai Jiaxuan said disappreciably: "Borrowing the theater? Are you going back to your hometown to act for the original Shangxiang Party?" Tian Fuxian said: "Monkey play." Bai Jiaxuan asked, "Playing monkeys?" You don't need a theater to play monkeys! Planting a pole in a circle on the field is a ka!" Tian Fuxian said: "I am playing a big monkey and demon monkey this time, and I have to put it on the theater to play if I don't use the venue." Bai Jiaxuan heard the cliché in his words and asked seriously: "You clearly said what you used the theater for, but you didn't know what I didn't dare to accept." "The monkeys who played those dead dogs of the Agricultural Cooperative!" Tian Fuxian finally couldn't help but become outspoken, "It's time to rectify this gang of blind bears!" Bai Jiaxuan said: "If you are acting, then you didn't say it." If you want to 'play' this 'monkey' with this thing, please borrow another village's theater. Tian Fuxian stood up from the table and sneered and said: "I fancy your theater is not that there are peonies on your theater, it is they who played me as a monkey in the theater of Bailu Village, and I have to rest on the theater of Bailu Village if I play his monkey." Let everyone in the original see who plays whose monkey well!"
