One, two...... The people who were tied up by the Ma family soldiers were like sheep at this time, no, even worse than sheep. When the sheep is dying, they will struggle with all their might, and at this time, these people who are escorted to the bridge seem to have their ribs removed, and they no longer have the spirit of no one.

It all came so suddenly. According to Kong Jiexi's analysis afterwards, this is Ma Buqing's conscious move, I will let you bounce first, I don't know how to clean up if you don't bounce, and when you jump to the light one by one, my knife will be welcome.

Including Situ Xue'er, this is also the idea. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so kind and pleasant that day in Xigou.

But it's late, and by the time I realize it, it's too late.

The massacre began on the morning of the sixteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and the fifteenth day of July was the Ghost Festival.

On this day, Qiu Jiayuan and others were very lucky to escape.

Kong Jiexi received information at the night of July 15, the situation was very critical, he ran out of the joint place, the county town was crawling all around the people kowtowing and burning paper, the paper fire that jumped up made him lose his way, so many people, how could they all be notified in one night? At this time, at the intersection of Miaoergou and Qingfeng Gorge, the Ma family soldiers were already loaded with guns and ammunition, and they were deployed overnight. There was no way, Kong Jiexi dressed up as a dung picker, carried a stinking back basket, and hurriedly went to see the liaison. With the help of the liaison, Kong Jiexi got in touch with the camel. The camel also got the news a few minutes ago, his face was much heavier than Kong Jiexi, and after the two discussed urgently, they decided to notify the people around the county first, asking them to leave Gulang overnight, and they really couldn't go, so they put on makeup and hid on the spot.

Comrade Yellow Sheep must be allowed to leave! The camel commanded.

Kong Jiexi made a difficulty, how could he notify him of such a late night and such a dangerous road? Besides, it's too late, from Gulang to Miaoergou, it takes five hours to ride a fast horse, even if the road is not disturbed, it will be dawn to rush. And the enemy's action time is five o'clock in the morning, isn't this just jumping into the encirclement? At this time, the traffic officer who sold tea eggs in the county opera garden ran to say that he saw Qiu Jiayuan in the opera garden, and he was with Situ Xueer.

"What about people?" The camel asked anxiously.

"Gone." Because I just heard the wind, I haven't woken up from the fright.

"Why didn't you stop him?" The camel has always had a short temper, and at this critical juncture, he will not allow his comrades to make mistakes.

"I can't stop it, the shopkeeper, he's with ...... With ......"** was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

"Tell me, who are you going with?"

"Follow...... The old lady Qi of the antique shop walked. ”

"What?!"

The camel and Kong Jiexi were taken aback at the same time, how could Qiu Jiayuan be with Old Lady Qi? After asking carefully, I realized that today is the birthday of Yurong, the baby granddaughter of Mrs. Qi, Yurong and Situ Xueer are very good, and the two families are world friends, so it must be Yurong who pulled Situ Xueer to watch the play. As soon as the two breathed a sigh of relief, a traffic officer came and said that the county's action was ahead of schedule, and the hunt began overnight.

This was the most tragic and terrifying hunt the people of the gorge had ever seen. The sky has not yet completely brightened, and people have not yet opened their sleepy eyes, they heard the sound of gunfire in the canyon, followed by the Ma soldiers who poured into the village like locusts, smashed the door when they saw it, jumped when they saw the courtyard, and when people put on their clothes and walked out of the house, oh my God, the gorge is not like it, it is not like it at all. After several lifetimes, who has seen so many soldiers, who has seen so many guns. There are those who ride tall horses to command, there are those who run around with guns to arrest people, and there are those who walk in the village streets in a queue with great momentum, in short, Qingfeng Gorge has become the world of Ma Jiabing. Before people could take a closer look, they saw that the backbone of the peasant association in Donggou was tied up and escorted out one by one, and the one who walked in the forefront was naturally the old five paste.

Ma Jiabing is a sure winner this time, according to Ma Chao's statement, he will never let a shot go unpunished, so that the head of the ** and the peasant association will not fall to the bayonet of the Ma family. As early as the beginning of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, when the Xiali Peasant Association was having a good time, Ma Chao wanted to clean it up, but the family in Qinghai said: "Don't worry, it's not time yet, you have cleaned up the yellow sheep today, and there will be another cattle tomorrow, can you clean it up?" If you want to clean it up, you have to clean it up for him along with the shed and the grass mountain, and he can't work if he comes! "This grass mountain refers to the peasant association, which is the soil on which the yellow sheep live. Ma Chao kept the teachings in mind, pretending to be a picture of the vast world and letting the birds fly, turning a blind eye to the yellow sheep and the peasant associations in Gulang County and even in the gorge, making them make trouble. Including Qiu Jiayuan, he also turned a blind eye, thinking, no matter if your surname is Gong or Guo, if you want to make trouble, just make trouble, and one day, when I want to clean you up, I can't care what your surname is.

Finally, he felt that the time was ripe, and those big and rich families who could not stand the toss of the peasant association took the initiative to come to him and beg him to make decisions for them. That's good, it's always better to take the initiative than to be persecuted, at this point, Ma Chao has inherited many advantages of the Ma family, why can the Ma family make a big fuss, isn't it that his Ma family will always open their arms to the initiative? As soon as the big family takes the initiative, it is much easier to clean up the matter, Ma Jiabing almost does not need to ask anyone, he can accurately touch the place where the peasant association and the yellow sheep sleep, and even which direction your head is sleeping, he can feel it clearly.

Sure enough, in Donggou on this day, including the doors of the He family, the Su family, and the Zhao family, the Ma family soldiers didn't even send their footsteps inside. Ma Chao just wants to tell the people of Donggou that a big household is a big household, and many places are incomparable between your small household and the poor.

The situation in Xigou is even worse.

On this day's grain picking, it happened to be in the west ditch. It was dark on the fifteenth night, and when the second master came back after burning the paper money, he picked up the grain and picked up the basket and went on the road. The basket contained a bowl of rice left behind in the future, a few eggs saved on weekdays, a wad of paper money, and a piece of paper clothes that Wu's sister-in-law had secretly cut. At the beginning of the year, when it was time to burn paper, he always prepared a few days in advance to collect grain, and then when Shui Erye came back from the grave, he walked towards the grave alone by the starlight. This night must be the most painful night of the year to collect grain, but also the happiest night. On the way from the courtyard to the grave, he would think about the events of his childhood, and when he thought of the emotional place, he would stop and cry. When he got to the grave, he couldn't think about it anymore, he wanted to accompany his sister to pick up grass and lie wholeheartedly. In the warm paper fire, he smiled on his face and told his sister in the naughty language of his childhood what he had done, what he had learned, and what medicines he had memorized in the past year or months. He told Gleaning Grass that Yingying and himself are now of the same mind, and how harmonious Sensei is. He also wants to tell his sister that his father's life is getting better and better, but now he is a little greedy, but if he doesn't worry, he will control his father from being greedy. There is no benefit for people who are greedy, and if the cow is greedy, it will swell to death, and there is a cow in the shed, and he eats too greedily, and as a result, his stomach is so swollen that he can't relax for a few days, and finally he dies of swelling. Sometimes he would mention his brother picking sheep, but his tone would become sad. "Although I am half a pharmacist, I still can't cure his illness, I regret it." Speaking of this, he would immediately show a smile: "Cao, don't worry, one day, I will cure your illness, I have found that kind of medicine, Uncle Xicai said, you are not haunted by ghosts, it is a barbarian deceit." It's a blood disease, you have no blood in your body, and if you don't have enough qi and blood, your body will weaken day by day. Uncle Xicai also said that it was this disease, and he also found a cure for this disease, you wait, one day, you will get better. ”

Under the starry sky on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the little pharmacist of Qingshiling picked up grain, and sat in the cemetery with his sister to pick up grass and lie. In fact, the nerves of picking up grain are very right, because in his heart, his sister will never leave him. My sister just slept in a different place, and when she woke up, it was also the time when he found all the medicine and prescriptions for the disease.

The paper fire finally burned out, and everything I should have told my sister was also said. The rest of the time, either sleep in the cemetery, or, sit until dawn. But on this day, I suddenly couldn't sit still, and as soon as I finished talking to my sister, my father suddenly jumped out of my mind, very clear and strong. It is not a good sign to think of the living on July 15, so I didn't dare to hesitate to pick up food, so I took the basket and went to Xigou. As soon as I arrived at the bottom of the slope, I heard the second aunt say, "You are picking up grain, I knew you were coming." ”

"Where's my dad, what's wrong with my dad?" Picking up grain, he grabbed the second aunt and blurted out a question.

"Told me to lock the house." The second aunt said mysteriously.

"Locked in the house?" The courtyard of the second aunt's house was quiet, one kiln was lit up, and the other was dark. The second aunt listened to it at the base of the window, and scolded with a smile: "This old ghost, just now he was shouting and scolding me, this time, he slept like a dead man." ”

When she entered the house, the second aunt told her to collect grain, and Xiao Wuzi's house on the slope had a meeting, saying that she was discussing something big, and she was going to go, but she was afraid that he would steal it, so she locked him in the house.

"Yes, he wasn't involved in those things."

"I'll just say it, but your father doesn't listen, he wants to be a team leader, you are a cave cutter, who will listen to you as a team leader?" The second aunt counted it and poured tea for the grain. He said he didn't drink the grain, and he ate a lot later. The second aunt still insisted on pouring tea for the grain, handed over a bun, and insisted on picking up the grain to eat. At this time, when I picked up the grain, I saw that there were two more babies on the kang. The second aunt smiled and said, "It's all Xiao Wuzi, it's enough to make a fuss by yourself, and you also pull your daughter-in-law in." I know no, his daughter-in-law is also surnamed Gongli. ”

Picking up food almost choked the bun. stared at the second aunt with wide eyes for a long time before saying, "Second aunt, don't dare to spread this word." The second aunt stuck out her tongue, knowing that she had a lot of mouths. But if she didn't say it, she panicked.

This night, the second aunt didn't let the grain go back to the ridge, a broken quilt, half of which was covered with her brother picking up sheep, and half of it was covering the grain that couldn't sleep. As soon as I took a nap, I heard the sound of dense footsteps on the slope, and the second aunt glanced out the window, Mom, there are troops in the sky-

On the morning of the sixteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, I picked up grain to watch Xiao Wuzi and his family being taken away by the Ma family soldiers. There are a full thirty people from the Ma family, and the black pressure encloses the new courtyard on the slope, and Xiao Wuzi cannot escape the clutches even if he has wings.

The scene was really terrifying, the birds in the east and west ditches were so frightened that they flew away, and the old and young in the ditch were even more frightened. Three days later, at noon, he returned to Qingshiling with a heart to collect food, and as soon as he entered the hospital, he was beaten by a dog. "You are ruthless, leave me and Yueyue, you really dare to lose it!" After the beating, the dog threw himself into his arms, whimpering and crying.

Looking at the courtyard again, the courtyard of the Shui family, which used to be shouted by people and horses, was as deserted as a lonely grave, and none of the helpers ran away, where they ran, no one knew, anyway. Battalion Commander Zhang and his soldiers were all gone. The water boss slipped faster, and as soon as the sun rose on July 16, the Ma family soldiers were still arresting people in the east and west ditches, so the water boss jumped into the stable, rode a fast horse that he had already seen, and ran to his Wanzhong platform. This is a nest of right and wrong, he doesn't want to stay longer. Yingying has not come back from Pingyangchuan, and in the entire compound, there are only four left: Second Master Shui, Sister-in-law Wu, Dogu and Yueyue. Sister-in-law Wu was so frightened that she didn't dare to enter the kitchen, and the four of them lived by eating dry food for three days.

Fortunately, Ma Jiabing did not come to Qingshiling.

He said, "Don't be afraid, won't I come back well?" The dog said, "Are you not afraid, you don't have a heart or lungs, what are you afraid of?" scolded, but his heart fell, and he hugged Yueyue: "Go, hurry up and cook for your father." ”

The large-scale manhunt lasted for half a month, and on the third day of the eighth lunar month, Qingfeng Gorge ushered in the darkest days. Ma Chao chose the place of execution of the first batch of key criminals on the Xigou Bridge, early in the morning, both ends of the bridge were blocked by the team, and the armor chiefs of the East and West Second Ditch and Miao'er Ditch Tiaozigou issued a notice to the villagers one day in advance, and they must gather at the Xigou Bridge before lunch, otherwise they will be punished according to the general theory. After experiencing this fright, how dare the villagers slack off, they got up before dawn and rushed to Xigou Bridge in groups of three or five. When I arrived at Xigou Bridge, I found that Ma Chao and his people had already sat down on the newly erected platform in the north of the bridge. It is said that the five big families in Donggou each produced five stones of grain, and also cut down a large tree, and it took two days to set up such a conspicuous platform. There are four piano tables on the table, and behind the piano table are chairs brought from home by large households. At this moment, Ma Chao, the head of the 23rd Regiment and county magistrate of Qinghai Mabu Youth Department, was sitting in the center of the piano table, and on his left was He Da Yan and other five rich people, and on the right, all of them were Baojia chiefs.

The big households and the armor guards showed their faces on this day, except for He Dayu and Donggou Leng Chinese Medicine, the rest of the people's faces were all bright, and they waited for Ma Chao to announce the start of the execution with anxiety. These days, they can have enough.

Two platoons of soldiers stood on both sides of the bridge, using gun handles to block the villagers who came from all directions outside the white line. Inside the white line, a platoon of soldiers held guns and escorted the key criminals to be executed today, and the faces of the key criminals were all covered with white cloths, and it was impossible to distinguish who it was for a while. Qingfeng Gorge was shrouded in white terror for a while.

At eleven a.m., with two gunshots, the execution began. The rioting crowd fell silent, and the atmosphere of the scene lifted everyone's heart, and the timid women even covered their eyes. I saw Ma Chao stand up on the chair, glanced at the people around him, cleared his throat, and began to speak. This morning, the lecture of the pseudo county magistrate Ma Chao was equivalent to chewing his tongue at the sister river, and people didn't hear it at all, and they didn't have the heart to listen to it, everyone was concerned about who was going to be executed today.

The first to be pushed onto the bridge was Sun Liu from Xigou, which was somewhat expected. Everyone thought in their hearts, Sun Liu couldn't run this time, he was the first to be shot. Sure enough, he was the first to be escorted up. After half a month's work, Sun Liu lost weight, so thin that he was skinny and bones, if it weren't for Ma Jiabing shouting at his throat and escorting Sun Liu up, people might not recognize him as Sun Liu. The moment the white cloth was torn open, people were surprised to find that Sun Liu's mouth was stuffed with a sheep bone.

That's right, as early as the second day of the incident, someone in the gorge said that Sun Liu's gang was boiled by Ma Jiabing as a pot of dumplings when they were gnawing on sheep bones. On the fifteenth night of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Sun Liu couldn't stay idle, and he didn't have the heart to burn paper money for his ancestors. The He family, young and old, went to the grave to burn paper, and the housekeeper left the He family a month ago, and the courtyard was empty. Sun Liuda climbed into the back wall and touched the sheepfold by night, and the sheep were frightened. Sun Liu said don't be afraid, I am from the peasant association, the sheep are still afraid, against the head to squeeze together, Sun Liu kicked the ewe next to him, taking advantage of the ewes to squeeze in, both hands slammed hard, caught a sheep. During this period, Sun Liuliu is really energetic, and the strength is too great to end, so it is not difficult to hold a lamb at all. As soon as the lamb was dragged out of the wall, the courtyard door creaked, and Da Mei came in. When Da Mei saw Sun Liu, she threw herself at him lifelessly, but she still let Sun Liu kick away and run away.

The grandchildren held the fruits of victory and began to share overnight. The cauldron has been supported in the courtyard for a long time, and it has not come in handy, but now it is good, and you can finally take the He family's lamb sacrifice pot. They performed a ritual of sacrificing the pot in a decent manner, and then unloaded the lamb into thirty-eight pieces and threw it into the pot. These thirty-eight are exquisite, there is a saying in the gorge, thirty-eight, forty-nine, if you don't build a house or hold your grandchildren, you will walk in vain in the world for a lifetime. Sun Liu is exactly thirty-eight this year, and he still lives in a broken kiln, it is impossible to build a house, and forty-nine hugging his grandson is even more of a fart. Sun Liu decided to cook the number thirty-eight so that he could hand in his good luck sooner. The mutton was cooked late that night, and the fire was extinguished three times in the middle, and then the pot overflowed again, tossing and turning, and the meat was almost dawn when it reached the mouth. When Ma Jiabing stepped on the door, Sun Liu was holding a lamb's ribs and gnawing hard. The soldier baby is really ruthless, according to the sheep ribs is a gun handle, and the sheep ribs are forced into Sun Liu's mouth, and he can't take them off if he wants to.

People were still whispering about the sheep bones in Sun Liu's mouth, and Ma Jiabing's guns rang out. The sound was not loud, like a dumb gun, but Sun Liu's head spurted out a stream of blood, black blood, and before the blood fell on the bridge, Sun Liu planted an upside-down onion and died in the sister river.

One, two...... The people who were tied up by the Ma family soldiers were like sheep at this time, no, even worse than sheep. When the sheep is dying, they will struggle with all their might, and at this time, these people who are escorted to the bridge seem to have their ribs removed, and they no longer have the spirit of no one. Someone under the bridge said: "Ma Jiabing is really ruthless, you see, he tossed people to the point that they were inhuman." Immediately, a voice warned: "Do you want to be shot too?" Before the words fell, there was a bang again.

Ma Chao is indeed a person who has seen the world, and he is very handy at killing people, and he can't see his weakness at all. But the other people sitting on the stage slowly couldn't stand it, after all, they killed people who grew up eating a river of water, and they didn't look up and looked down, and all of a sudden, they planted themselves in the river, and they became a pool of blood.

People can't stand killing so much—

When he reached the twentieth time, Leng Zhongyi collapsed, and he couldn't hold on any longer. It's worse than scraping his flesh with a knife. Originally, Leng Chinese Medicine didn't come, and he made up his mind not to come, but Ma Chao sent a squad of soldiers to invite him, can he not come? After Xiao Wuzi and his beloved daughter May fell into the clutches of the devil, Leng Zhongyi realized that he had chosen a U-turn path, although he had heard of the danger of this road before, but the danger had never approached him so really. But he didn't have time to be afraid, these days, he was running around, bent on rescuing his son-in-law and daughter, but this was obviously a dream. Finally, he waited for this moment, Ma Chao seemed to consciously put Xiao Wuzi and his wife last, and his eyes glanced at Leng Zhongyi from time to time. Leng Chinese Medicine persevered with the strength of his life, but after all, it was his own daughter and son-in-law who turned around.

The people under the bridge were in an uproar, because no one could have imagined that there would be a female **. When she heard that it was the youngest daughter of Donggou Leng Bao Chang Leng Chinese Medicine, her eyes gathered on the stage. If Leng TCM wants to stay calm, it doesn't look like a father, and besides, can he still be calm? I only heard a wow on the stage, the cold Chinese medicine was full of tears, and her daughter May slowly moved her eyes to her father, how reluctant she was to leave this world. The moment her father let out a cry, May struggled to open her mouth, but unfortunately her mouth was blocked by broken cotton, and she couldn't call her father. Before the gunshot, Leng Zhongyi exerted all his strength and roared: "Ma Jiabing, scrape the party, I'll fuck your mother!" ”

This angry scolding suppressed the gunshot, and Ma Chao glanced over here, not hearing what the cold Chinese medicine doctor shouted. However, the corners of his mouth twisted, and an extremely sinister smile appeared. He acted in this play, not so much for everyone to see, but for Leng Chinese medicine alone. He waved his hand proudly, and a soldier baby pounced on him and carried away the cold Chinese medicine doctor on the stage.

The gorge was quiet, extremely quiet. The people were finally killed, and the rest, Ma Chao didn't plan to kill, he wanted to pull them back to Gulang County, and the city gate building in Gulang County couldn't be idle for a day, and there must be a public shower to hang it up every day. He doesn't believe it, killing a chicken can't shake a monkey, killing a monkey can't shake a chicken?

The sister river seemed to have frozen, and it was so heavy that it could not flow. When people set their eyes on this river, which they are accustomed to seeing on weekdays, they found that the blood red of a river had reflected the canyon miserably.

That night, when Ma Chao received a secret report that he was convinced that Leng TCM was ** and ordered to be arrested, he was told that Leng TCM was rescued by Gada when it was dark.

Gada?!

An emergency meeting was held in Mengjiawopu, 20 miles away from the county seat of Gulang. Presiding over the meeting was Comrade Camel, who appeared in public for the first time, and except for Kong Jiexi, no one present expected that the head of the Liangzhou Horse Gang was actually the Communist Party. After Hei San was killed, the provincial party committee made a decision to let the camel take over Hei San's work, but for safety reasons, the matter has not been made public. In addition to Kong Jiexi, the only person who has direct contact with the camel is the traffic officer.

The meeting first seriously criticized the serious mistakes made by the Yellow Sheep led by Qiu Jiayuan in the previous period, blindly underestimating the enemy, over-self-confidence, typical idealism and utopian methods of struggle, which dealt a devastating blow to the underground revolutionary struggle in Gulang and even in the entire Liangzhou. After analyzing the situation in Gulang in the previous period, Comrade Luo Tuo pointed out that Qiu Jiayuan mistakenly applied the struggle methods he had learned from Yan'an to Gulang indiscriminately, and he was stubborn and self-serving, insisting on going his own way and not listening to any opposing opinions, thus causing great harm to the party's cause. This frenzied counterattack by the Kuomintang reactionaries brought the underground organization of Gulang to near paralysis, and 16 comrades of the Party and 42 activists of the peasant union were brutally persecuted by the enemy. The higher authorities attached great importance to this and demanded that we conscientiously sum up the mistakes we made in our work, keep in mind the lessons of blood, and at the same time strengthen our confidence, and the more we go in the midst of bloody terror, the more we must strengthen our revolutionary convictions, and deal a fatal blow to the Kuomintang reactionaries with a tooth for a tooth.

In response to the current situation, Camel announced on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee: "Kong Jiexi is responsible for the revolutionary work of Gulang, and before Qiu Jiayuan is found, all duties of Comrade Qiu Jiayuan will be suspended, and at the same time——" Camel said this, staring at the participating comrades for a moment with complicated eyes, Kong Jiexi knew what Camel was going to say, but Camel finally did not express the doubts in his heart, but just said in an extremely painful voice: "Comrades, the more the revolution reaches the last moment, the more unexpected things will happen, we must keep our eyes open, Maintain a high level of vigilance. ”

After the meeting, on the way to leave the Meng family's nest, the camel said worriedly: "Qiu Jiayuan has not heard any news until now, I am really worried that he will ......" Kong Jiexi bit his lip and said: "We have to plan for the worst." ”

Kong Jiexi's current identity is the president of the Gulang County Maintenance Association, which is to help Ma Chao contact all aspects of the relationship. Kong Jiexi's dual identity is known to Qiu Jiayuan. The camel is worried that Qiu Jiayuan is with Situ Xue'er now, and Qiu Jiayuan's activities a while ago, Situ Xue'er did not stop it, if Qiu Jiayuan told Situ Xue'er the true identity of Kong Jiexi, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's okay, as early as the day I joined the party, I was ready to sacrifice for the party, I'm just worried, will there be an accident on the Pingyang River side?" Kong Jiexi said.

Kong Jiexi's worries are not wrong at all, Pingyang Chuan Qiu Dacheng joined the revolution from a businessman, and he has more than half of the credit. It was he who spared no effort to do work for his brother-in-law that made Qiu Dacheng completely wake up from a half-daze, and his son's family was already a party fighter, Qiu Dacheng also walked on this road without hesitation, he ostensibly handed over the business of Renyihe to his daughter-in-law Ermei to take care of, but in fact, he took out all the family property to support the cause of liberation, which moved Kong Jiexi so much that he had nothing to say. However, there are unforeseen circumstances, this time, whether his nephew's family can hold firmly, Kong Jiexi has no bottom in his heart. Before the accident, he had earnestly persuaded his nephew Qiu Jiayuan, but with the support of the army commander, Qiu Jiayuan not only did not listen to his words, but ridiculed him for being conservative and forward-looking, saying that he was a typical rightist. Now it seems that it was Qiu Jiayuan's left-leaning adventurism and opportunism that led to the disaster of Gulang. Faced with the increasingly difficult situation in the future, Kong Jiexi sighed deeply, he was worried about not only one enemy, but also one person he had never told the camel, if something went wrong with this person, it would cause immeasurable losses to Gulang, Pingyangchuan and even Liangzhou's revolutionary struggle.

After careful calculation, President Bai of the Chamber of Commerce has not seen him for some days, especially after he is no longer a pseudo-county magistrate, President Bai of the Chamber of Commerce has almost cut off contact with him. This was never a good sign, and although he had never revealed his identity to Chairman Haku, the calculating Chairman Haku would not have guessed it. There are two possibilities for this matter: First, President Bai, who has already served as the president of the Liangzhou Maintenance Association, may really be busy with official duties and have no time to take care of him, the junior president. That's for the best. I'm afraid that's not the case. If it was really for the second reason, Bai Da would be intimidated by the obscenity and coercion of the Ma family soldiers and make the opposite choice, and the consequences would be terrible.

Two days ago, the traffic officer who had been guarding in front of Mrs. Qi's door reported that Chairman Bai pretended to be a merchant who collected antiques and entered the courtyard of Mrs. Qi's deep house. This is important news, what is President Bai doing at this time looking for Mrs. Qi, why do you want to put on makeup? Kong Jiexi was puzzled.

Mrs. Qi was not originally a Gulang person, his hometown was in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and the house used to be a businessman, and his family also had a university scholar in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the official was the prime minister. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Qi family devoted themselves to business and did business in Mongolia outside Xinjiang. That's not all, the Qi family has secret contacts with several major warlords, and there are many relationships between the military and political circles, especially Qi Xiangguo, the eldest son of the old lady Qi, is now a celebrity around Lao Jiang in Nanjing. No one can figure out why Mrs. Qi chose Gulang to settle down, let alone who comes and goes in his antique shop all day long. However, it was not easy for local bureaucrats and even warlords to enter Old Lady Qi's private residence. He lives in Gulang, but he has little contact with people from the military and political circles of Gulang, and the only ones who can enter his private house are a few big merchants who can be ranked in Liangzhou. Kong Jiexi has served as the county magistrate in Gulang for so long, and he has only a one-sided friendship with him, or Zeng Zihang took him by the way when he invited the old lady to eat flowers and wine outside, and accompanied him for half the night, the old lady didn't say a word to him, and before leaving, he only rewarded him with a glass of wine.

However, just that time, Kong Jiexi faintly felt that the old lady's settlement in Gulang might have something to do with women. In the courtyard of the deep house, there may be some secrets hidden.

After Qiu Jiayuan was taken away by Old Lady Qi, Kong Jiexi also thought about going inside to inquire, at least he should find out, where did the old lady send Qiu Jiayuan and Situ Xue'er, will it? But this fact is too difficult, with Kong Jiexi's current ability, it is undoubtedly difficult to get a little bit of news from Qi Mansion. The Qi Mansion is heavily guarded, not to mention, if the old lady Qi smells the slightest breath, this life may be gone in time.

The camel also resolutely did not agree to do this, and he repeatedly demanded that he could only inquire around the periphery, and that he must not annoy the old lady. After all, he's not an idle person.

After thinking about it, Kong Jiexi decided to go to Pingyang River. Pingyang River is neither under the jurisdiction of Gulang nor Liangzhou, but because of its special position on the Silk Road, this desert oasis has always maintained a close relationship with Gulang and Liangzhou. But at the moment, it is Ma Chao's cousin Ma Yuan who is in charge of Pingyang River, and this person is more ruthless than Ma Chao.

On the evening of the twelfth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, as soon as Kong Jiexi's steps stepped into Pingyang River, the madwoman rushed towards him with a loud voice. Kong Jiexi didn't take any precautions, the crazy woman who jumped out of the alley really startled him, and when he saw that it was a loud voice, his face changed. At this time, there were many people on the street, Kong Jiexi was afraid of being recognized, so he hurriedly walked in the opposite direction, and did not want to follow him with a loud voice inch by inch, and threw stones at him as he walked. Kong Jiexi felt that something was not quite right, and when he turned around and looked back, a familiar shadow flashed in the alley in front of him, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Kong Jiexi was stunned, when he heard the crazy woman leaning close to his ear and saying, "Don't look around, just follow me." ”

Kong Jiexi's heart jumped, and his footsteps subconsciously followed the loud voice to the alley, and as soon as he turned into the alley, two black shadows caught him, one left and one right. "Don't be silent, your own people."

Kong Jiexi was taken to a small courtyard deep in the alley, and it was Camp Commander Zhang who greeted him. Kong Jiexi never thought that he would meet Camp Commander Zhang here. When Ma Chao led people to exert prostitution in Qingfeng Gorge, Kong Jiexi got the news that Camp Commander Zhang had safely withdrawn from Qingshiling, and the specific whereabouts were unknown. Seeing that he was puzzled, Camp Commander Zhang smiled and said, "I'm scared of you, we are also forced to know that you are coming to Pingyangchuan, so we have to let the spider wait for you on the street." ”

"Spiders?" Kong Jiexi stared at Camp Commander Zhang in confusion.

"The spider is my sister's loud voice." Seeing that Kong Jiexi was more and more surprised, Camp Commander Zhang had to start from the beginning. It turned out that Da Shengxiang was not crazy at all, after Hei San was killed, the organization took into account the safety of Da Sheng, and transferred her to Pingyangchuan, originally wanting her to be incognito, and An An lived a separate life, but Da Shengxiang was bent on blood revenge for her husband, she pretended to be crazy and stupid on the street, but secretly she was a traffic officer of the provincial party committee in Pingyangchuan. Battalion Commander Zhang and the others were able to withdraw from Qingshiling smoothly this time, thanks to her loud voice, it was she who ran to Qingshiling regardless of the danger and handed the information to Gu Jiu'er, which prevented more comrades from sacrificing.

"It's really unexpected, even you can't hide it." Seeing that Kong Jiexi really didn't know at all, Camp Chief Zhang said with a smile.

"Well hidden, well hidden." Kong Jiexi looked at his voice gratefully for a long time, and said from the bottom of his heart.

"According to the information we have, Ma Yuan has become suspicious of the Qiu Mansion, in the past two days, there have always been suspicious characters in front of the Qiu Mansion, including several branches, at this time, you must not go to the Qiu Mansion." Battalion Commander Zhang then told the reason for intercepting Kong Jiexi.

"Oh?" Kong Jiexi was taken aback, it seems that his hunch is not wrong at all.

After Battalion Commander Zhang and Gu Jiu'er withdrew from the Qingshiling Shuijia compound, they originally wanted to join up with Gada's armed forces and look for an opportunity to fight against Ma Chao, but who knew that at this juncture, the former righteous shopkeeper of the Pingyangchuan Qiu family turned his face with Shui Ermei and threatened to tell the enemy's affairs. Shui Ermei found a loud voice and asked her to help find a way, but in desperation, Camp Commander Zhang stayed in Pingyangchuan and only let Gu Jiu'er go to Gada. At present, the matter of Shopkeeper Pu has been completely resolved, and when he was bargaining with the bait sent by Ma Yuan, he was unknowingly reimbursed by Camp Commander Zhang.

"And what's next for you?"

"The provincial party committee wants me to continue to stay in Pingyangchuan and secretly protect the enemy's family. Recently, Ma Yuan is brewing a big conspiracy, and I can't leave at this time, perhaps, a more brutal battle is about to begin. Camp Commander Zhang's tone revealed deep worries about the future. However, he followed up and said: "The Xi'an side wants me to tell the comrades of Gulang that the horn of the Red Army's westward advance is about to sound, and the days of the Ma Jiabing will not last long, and we must rush to establish the revolutionary armed forces in Gulang and Pingyangchuan before the westward advance, so as to open a secret passage for the Red Army's westward advance." ”

The night, dead and silent, long.

A succession of bloody disasters and bad news washed away the joy and laughter in the gorge, and the dullness and panic spread like a plague, and Qingfeng Gorge was shrouded in bloody wind and rain.

On the ridge, the same dead silence and the days swallowed up by darkness overwhelmed the breathless. Since the terrible scene of hitting the Xigou Bridge, the rancher Shui Erye has lost his voice, and he once again fell into the haze brought by Feng Chuanwu many years ago and couldn't wake up. Although the successive blood-and-light disasters in the gorge completely confirmed his judgment of current affairs, this did not in any way justify his happiness, on the contrary, he was overwhelmed by a deeper desolation. How can this be, how can it really be like this? Under the scorching summer sun, he squatted at the gate of the courtyard like an old dog, his eyes were dumbfounded, and in his heart, he kept repeating this sentence that would make his heart rot once when he rang once.

Second Master Shui realized that he was finished, completely finished, how could a person predict the blood disaster of Yixia in advance? It's unlikely, it must be something wrong with your own brain, or something is wrong with this ridiculous world. How can you say that you will kill it, those are all living people. No, there must be something wrong. He repeatedly sank into this labyrinthine absurdity and could not extricate himself, and all day long, except for sighing, he clung to his own head with both hands.

What's even more bitter is picking up grain.

Since marrying into this hospital, I have never felt that life will be so difficult. In the past, no matter whether the father and daughter of the Shui family were cold or hot, he felt that it was a blessing to live in this courtyard. At the moment, this feeling is completely gone. People go to the empty courtyard of the Shui family and become an iron cage overnight, Shui Erye is dumb, Shui Yingying seems to be crazy, running around the world, where are the people, they can't even get a quasi-letter. Sister-in-law Wu had a sad face all day long, either hiding in the corner and wiping her nose or holding Yueyue and crying stupidly. It seems that the disaster of Xigou Bridge tore everyone's hearts. As for the dog, since he came back from Xigou, he never entered his door again, as if he went to Xigou to help Ma Chao catch Xiao Wuzi. In short, there is no life in this courtyard, it is gloomy, and it is depressing.

After a few days of hard work, I suddenly understood that everything was due to medicine. If the medicine of Yiling is still there, if there is still land on this ridge for him to pass the time, then the previous feeling must still be there, and there will be no lack of anything due to the bloody disaster. Oh my God, when he realized this, he screamed coldly. It turned out that it was ...... What warms him up in this courtyard and keeps him is not a face, but medicine!

Medicine!

After waking up, I cried all night, I didn't know what to cry, I just wanted to cry. When he stopped himself from crying, he found that the Shui family compound was not like it, Qingshiling was not like it, and it was like his constant suffering. When I went to sleep at night, I felt the cold ice of the kang, and time was like a curtain, slowly opening up, and what was wrapped was a broken heart that could no longer be broken. What flows in his heart is the pain brought to him by the Shui family, the wound brought to him. Shui Yingying's previous scolding, later indifference, and later enthusiasm all turned into salt, desperately sprinkling on his wounds. The heart hurts, it's worse than the guns of the horse soldiers.

The night spread out endlessly, and the rolling night, the dark night, overwhelmed him in an instant. Only then did he know that a man could not stand under someone else's roof for a long time, no matter whether the eaves were warm or cold, after standing for a long time, weeds would always grow in his heart. In the past, there was medicine growing in the heart, and this grass could not be revealed, but now that the medicine is gone, the heart has suddenly become a weed.

It's all a weed—

But later, he thought of Shui Yingying again, remembered the days after that night, and thought about it, he hated himself. "Bastard bastard, when is the time, you still dare to think wildly, and you are not afraid of the thunder of God and take your head off."

The next day, Shui Yingying came back suddenly, and as soon as she entered the hospital, she shouted to pick up food. Picking up the grain in a panic, he followed Shui Yingying to the south courtyard, entered the house, and the door was not closed, so he asked: "Where did you go, I am in a hurry, don't you hear the guns in the gorge every day?" ”

"Don't worry, they can't beat me." Shui Yingying didn't worry about herself at all, and when she saw that she was in a hurry to pick up food, she smiled heartily, and her eyes showed a sense of gratitude. After picking up the grain, she poured water, took a sip and said: "I just came back from Pingyang River, you can't think of it, the second sister's family, the whole surname is Gong." ”

"You just spare me, when are you still saying such things?"

Shui Yingying smiled secretly, she knew that she couldn't listen to this kind of talk, but she had to make it clear to Shiliang, it wasn't that she asked Shiliang to have a common surname, she was not interested in this. However, the second sister is in danger now, and the enemy family is in danger. These dangers all come from the damned enemy Jiayuan.

She can ignore other people's affairs, but she Shui Yingying must take care of the second sister's affairs.

She wants to get ahead of others and find the damned enemy. If he dares to be a traitor like He Shuyang in Donggou, I'm sorry, she Shui Yingying will get rid of this scourge with her own hands!

It was you who pulled my second sister to this road, and the second sister's net worth and life, your surname Qiu has to be responsible to the end. Thinking so, she rushed to pick up the grain and said, "You can accompany me on a trip to Gulang, things are tight, let's leave now." ”

"What are you going to do?" Picking up food was stunned by Shui Yingying's panic, and in his memory, Shui Yingying had never been so flustered.

"I'll talk to you in detail on the way, you take some dry food, and I'll change my clothes and leave."

Picking up the grain, he knew that it was urgent, if he wasn't in a hurry, Yingying wouldn't even go to the room, and the second master of Yuezhang Shui was about to go crazy for her. Picking up food and leaving the house, I walked a few steps to the backyard, and suddenly turned around again, no, I have to ask clearly, I can't let her temperament be.

asked again, Shui Yingying's face was not good-looking: "Are you afraid, I'll go by myself if you're afraid!" ”

"You can't go either!" He said this. After saying that, I was also shocked. He had never had such a breath before.

"You ......" Yingying's face turned white, and her hand froze as she was changing clothes.

"I'm for your good."

"You don't have to worry about me!" Yingying changed her clothes angrily and was about to go out, when she suddenly stopped in front of her to collect food: "You make it clear, where are you going, who are you looking for?" ”

"Shall I say it?" Yingying glared at him angrily.

"You can't get out."

"You dare?!"

"Dare!"

On this day's food, I really ate leopard gall, and I actually locked Yingying in the house! In fact, he already knew who Shui Yingying was going to, and the rumors about the second son of the enemy family in Pingyang Chuan were the loudest in the ditch these days, and he was afraid that Yingying would associate with him.

I can't come and go, and if I go back and forth, trouble will lead to this courtyard.

Yingying yelled and scolded in the room, and the words she said became more and more ugly. Picking up grain and squatting outside the door, he couldn't stop it in his mind, and he remembered the things about Yingying and the second son of the enemy. Those things actually hurt his heart very much, just like when Yingying and Feng Chuanwu looked at each other and hurt his heart, although Feng Chuanwu was eliminated by her, some things were not removed, and they were still in his heart. Now he can't allow Yingying to hurt him with other men, no!

If you're my wife, I'll take care of it. He stubbornly held on to such an idea, and sat in front of the door with a very reasonable appearance, and sat with the air of a big man.

The noise alarmed Second Master Shui, Second Master Shui walked out of the upper courtyard, and as soon as he heard that Yingying was back, he hurriedly went to the south courtyard. The scenery of the South Courtyard was so angry that the second master of the water was angry, and he scolded him for picking up grain: "It's against the sky, don't you dare to lock my girl, you have the ability to lock me up!" ”

Picking up food, he had to obediently open the door and let Shui Erye in. Shui Erye didn't have a bag of cigarettes when he went in, Yuan jumped out again, and said angrily: "Lock, do you want to go to the sky, do you want to go to the ground, it's not you, you have to deal with that bastard again, I'll break your legs!" ”

Seeing that he was picking up grain, Shui Erye scolded angrily: "Tell you to lock it up, do you hear it, you're deaf!" ”

Unexpectedly, the second master of Shui's scolding had not yet landed, and he picked up the grain and threw down the lock and left!

The words of the second master of the water in front of him hurt the grain. He doesn't go against the sky, the sky is still your water family, I'll go back to my Xigou!

The grain was not returned, so that Sister-in-law Wu stopped her, Sister-in-law Wu persuaded left and right, and said good things in a yard, and finally, his heart was changed and he said back. The dog also took the opportunity to come to him, picking out some heart-warming words, and later, he actually said the tears in his eyes when he picked up food, and the dog hurriedly brought him a clean towel and let him wipe it.

While the three of them were doing this in the backyard, Shui Erye was lying in the upper room sadly. The action of picking up grain and throwing chains made Shui Erye see some kind of danger, which made him panic even more than Ma Jiabing.

Shui Erye lay down for most of the day, still couldn't think of a way to get rid of the trouble, and in the end, he had to admit in frustration that he was old, a person who was as old as dusk, and he had no strength to solve the trouble.

Leave it to fate, the second master of Shui, who has been strong all his life, sighed fatefully for the first time in his life.

However, Shui Yingying was not stubborn to the end on this day, and when she jumped out of the house, she saw that the south courtyard was empty, and the two people who scolded her for locking her just now were gone. There was a strange smell wafting in the courtyard, Shui Yingying felt that something was wrong, threw down the burden and went to the backyard, and saw Sister-in-law Wu and the dog guarding the food left and right, like protecting an injured baby, Shui Yingying felt that there was an extra layer of things. After she quietly left the backyard and returned to her own house, her thoughts were different from when she first came back.

One day when she was about to go out in August and September, Shui Yingying unexpectedly got the news that Qiu Jiayuan, the second son of the Qiu family in Pingyang Chuan, did not rebel, he asked the old lady Qi to secretly send him away and send him to where he should go. Old Lady Qi's baby granddaughter Qi Yurong also had the surname Gong, and it was thanks to her that Qiu Jiayuan was able to get out safely.

The news was brought over by Pingyangchuan, and the second sister said that their family was fine for the time being, so let Dad and Yingying not worry.

In Shui Yingying's heart, a stone finally fell to the ground.

Soon after, Shui Young-young began to vomit. At first, she thought it was a bad meal, and shouted to pick up food and ask for medicine. vomited several times in a row, and woke up Sister-in-law Wu. When she vomited again that day, Sister-in-law Wu said in surprise: "It's not that it's bad, it's that it's there, it's there-"

The noise reached the upper courtyard, and Shui Er Ye stepped out of the upper courtyard with an arrow step: "There is, what's there?!" ”

"Second master, congratulations to you, you're going to be a grandfather!" Sister-in-law Wu said, tears of joy rushed out of her eyes excitedly.

The Shui family compound was filled with joy, and Sister-in-law Wu's shout made the Shuijia compound, which was already so thin that it couldn't be thinner, and suddenly turned over. Shui Erye was the first to change his attitude: "Kill sheep, collect grain, kill sheep." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to be a father, the dark clouds on his face were swept away, and before the second master of Shui finished speaking, he had already run into the sheepfold to catch the sheep.

"Dad, I'll kill, I'll kill."

Shui Yingying's face was full of pride, picking up grain and slaughtering sheep, she went in and out, and changed her clothes several times. For another time, Sister-in-law Wu smiled. In the end, she took off the red sweatshirt she had just put on, replaced it with a floral checkered cloth, and wore a pair of dark green trousers on her lower body, with a little big waist, and it was almost the same after three or four months when the baby came out of her arms, but she used a red belt to hold it up. These clothes were bought last time when she went to Gulang with the grain, and at that time she thought, when she is happy, she must dress herself up beautifully, she doesn't want to learn from the eldest sister and the second sister, when she was pregnant with a baby, it was ugly and ugly. Sister-in-law Wu laughed again: "My enemy, it's still too early to wear these pants, so I'm in a hurry, what are you wearing?" Shui Yingying said without shame: "Just wear it today, and there is still it in your arms." ”

"Wear, wear, wear whatever you want." Shui Erye trembled and laughed, and after laughing, he told again: "Be careful when you walk, in the future, don't do the work in the courtyard." ”

"There's no work in the courtyard." Picking up the grain and rushing to say.

There is really no work in the courtyard, since the medicine plow has been overturned, there is really no life in the courtyard, that little crop, so little that people can't make it hard, Sister-in-law Wu and the dog, and work for a day and three days, how can they be against Yingying.

The family was eating fragrant mutton, talking noisily, Shui Erye couldn't hold back, and wanted to name the baby in his belly, Sister-in-law Wu scolded him for being a goblin, how could he take it in his belly? The second master of Shui thought about it, took a sip of mutton soup and said: "My Shui family has added another person, this time, it must be a handle." ”

As soon as she heard this, Yingying was dissatisfied: "Dad, whether it's a girl or a baby, you have to be happy." As he spoke, he glanced at the grain, and the grain seemed to be intoxicated by this sudden happiness, holding the moon in his arms, and looking into the distance with his eyes stupid.

The Shuijia compound was overflowing with happy days because of the small life in the future, and there was a laughable news from Donggou. He Dajuan, the rich man of Donggou, changed his body and sat in the position of the chief of the body. This time, he sat unusually firm, and let his son and daughter-in-law threaten him with death, but he was unmoved.

The news spread, and the ditch was in an uproar. People are amazed at the change of He Da Rich, didn't he once go crazy for the rebel son He Shuyang, didn't he once hang his neck and swear that he would not live because of a traitor in his family, why did he now become a lackey of the Ma family soldiers without hesitation?

Second Master Shui smiled coldly. Forced, forced, he sighed in his heart. After this day, her daughter Da Mei cried and shouted and ran to beg the second master of Shui, asking him to persuade her father-in-law not to do such a stupid thing. In the face of Da Mei's crying, Shui Er Ye strangely pretended to be old and dizzy, and Da Mei cried for a meal, only in exchange for a few words that he was half-asleep and half-awake: "What, what did you say?" ”

Da Mei was extremely sad, and she hoped that at this time, her mother's father could help her come up with a good idea, at least, to give her relief, who knows......

Yingying had to pull Da Mei to live for a night, how could Da Mei still have this heart, at the moment, she was crying and crying and going back, so that Ying Ying didn't even have time to tell her the most exciting thing.

The joy did not last until the birth of the child, which lasted less than two months and faded.

The first thing to light is to collect grain.

After Yiling's traditional Chinese medicine was ploughed by the two old brothers of the Shui family, the heart of picking up grain began to be unsettled, if it weren't for Yingying's pregnancy, he wouldn't have been able to endure these two months. Yingying gave him two months of joy with her future life, but after only two months, she became restless again. On this day, he took advantage of the second master of the water to take a nap in the upper room and sneaked up the mountain, although the medicine in the field was overturned, but there were also plowshares leaking, especially the water boss ploughed the ground, and the leakage was even more. After a few months of struggle, the pills grew tenaciously and were barely indistinguishable from previous years. The originally hideous land unexpectedly made these pharmacies look good. It's just a pity that because the harvesting season was missed, the medicine has withered. It doesn't matter, I picked up the grain and turned around, and I thought of a remedy in my heart. Who knows, when he went back to the courtyard to get the tools for the second time, he let the second master of Shui block it.

"Where are you going?"

He didn't hide the grain, and said honestly: "Collect medicine in the field!" ”

"You are uneasy and kind, and you still want to harm my Shui family, you give me back!"

Second Master Shui said something wrong, recently Second Master Shui often said some inexplicable wrong things, he didn't think it himself, but as soon as these words came out, it hurt to pick up food.

"I haven't harmed the Shui family, never." I didn't know what I was doing when I picked up food, and I collided with Shui Erye in person.

"You're a Xigou, are you still reasonable?"

"I didn't pay attention, when did I ignore it?"

"Hey, the more you talk, the more you talk, the more you talk, isn't it?" The second master of the water was so angry that he was grinding on the ground, he had never let people face to face, and now, the son-in-law who came to the door shook his face.

Hearing the quarrel between Weng and his son-in-law, Yingying came out of the house with a big belly. "Grain—" she cried.

"The medicine is lying in the ground, and it is not wasted, I look at it as a pity." Pick up the grain and tell Yingying.

"That's my Shui family's medicine, I'm going to let it go to waste." Second Master Shui is so arrogant that he is almost unreasonable.

"I planted the medicine, and I can't give it up." Picking up food began to be a tooth for a tooth.

"If you can't give it, you have to give it up, I can't accept it if I say I can't accept it."

"The medicine didn't offend you."

"It's a scourge!"

"That'...... He who grows medicine has also become a scourge? ”

"You ——?!" Second Master Shui rolled his eyes in anger. Shui Yingying walked over with a shy stomach and grabbed her man: "Go back to the house!" ”

He was unwilling to pick up grain, and as soon as he entered the South Courtyard, he shouted: "Why don't you let me collect it, people provoked him, and the medicine didn't provoke him." ”

"It's okay to say a few words, his heart is blocked, you just let him go."

"If he blocks it, I won't block it?"

"Block, you all block, I won't block." Shui Yingying just wanted to get angry, and then thought about it, getting angry at this time was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire of picking up grain, so she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and coaxed her to pick up food: "Obedient, for the sake of the baby in my arms, listen to me once, ah." ”

Picking up grain has no temper, every time Shui Yingying shows her soft side, picking up grain has no temper, so she can only obediently follow her into the hospital.

After coaxing the day and not the night, in the dead of night, after being sure that the second master of the water was really sleeping, he secretly turned over and got off the kang after picking up the grain.

"Where are you going?" Yingying flipped up and asked.

"You sleep with yours, leave me alone." As he picked up the grain and spoke, he walked out, for fear that he would be one step too late, so he would let Yingying stop him. didn't think about it, when she was about to go out, Yingying suddenly said: "Wear thicker, the night wind is strong, the mountains are cold, and no one feels sorry for you when you catch a cold." ”

With a word, he warmed the legs of the grain collector, and then a wave of joy was freed up, and he happily escaped from the Shui family compound and ran to the mountain. When they arrived in the field, the dog and Sister-in-law Wu followed, and the three of them exerted twice as much strength as the day, and harvested a large piece of medicine at dawn.

Sister-in-law Wu wanted to carry it to the courtyard, picked up the grain and said, "Carry it back and let him use it as firewood?" A sentence reminded Sister-in-law Wu and raised her head to stare at him.

"Follow me."

Sister-in-law Wu and the dog followed to pick up grain, and the grain had already found two holes in the kiln, the abandoned kiln, and few people usually noticed it, even the barbarian woman who passed by, and the footsteps could not be sent.

In this way, he slept upside down during the day, pretending not to care about anything, and at night, he slipped out like a ghost, and the ghost was generally active in the field, and in less than half a month, the medicine that was left alive in a few fields was safely hidden in the kiln.

Hidden in the kiln, the heart is steady.

It's been a few days since I was down-to-earth, and something happened, and it was still a big deal.

Blame Shui Yingying.

When winter was approaching, Shui Yingying suddenly shouted that she wanted to go to Donggou, saying that she hadn't seen her sister Damei for a long time and missed her. He picked up the grain and said, "Why do you go out with your current body?" Shui Yingying glanced down at her body and said, "I can still walk this time, but in a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out." Picking up grain disagreed, and Sister-in-law Wu also advised: "I'm going to give birth in two months, why don't you stay in the house obediently?" Shui Yingying couldn't listen to it, she really missed her sister, and she couldn't sleep at night. It just so happened that the second master of Shui was not there on this day, and the boss of Wanzhong Taishui was very sick, very sick, and brought a message that he was afraid that he would not survive this winter. Second Master Shui scolded for two days in a row, if you can't survive well, if you can't survive, you will leave, no one will keep you! On the third day of scolding, he stopped scolding, and personally went to the stable to prepare the horse, saying that he would go to Wanzhongtai. picked up food and blocked it, and was scolded by him: "I can't go to collect the body, I'm afraid that he will rot in the house and smoke my house." "Picking up grain understands his thoughts, scolding fiercely on his lips, and in his heart, he doesn't know how much he thinks. So he took out another horse and said that he would go with him, so that there might be a good man on the way.

"Who do you take care of, I can't die, I haven't lived long enough." When he heard the grain, he said strange things, so he had to give up.

As soon as the second master of the water left, no one could stop Yingying, she insisted on going to Donggou, and she could only accompany her to pick up grain.

I put on an ox cart, laid grass on it, and laid two mattresses on top of the grass, and I felt that there was no problem and went on the road. When I arrived at Donggou, when I was about to get to the door of He's courtyard, I picked up grain and said, "Why don't you go in alone, I'll go back to Xigou and see my father?" ”

Shui Yingying knew the idea of picking up grain, he was afraid of seeing He Da Yan. Since picking up grain to support a piece of heaven on the ridge, Donggou He Dayun often regretted it, saying that in his life, the most miscalculated thing was to give up the grain to Shui Er. After picking up grain and hearing it, he felt a burden in his heart, as if he had done something that could not stand He Daan. Shui Yingying saw that it was difficult to pick up food, and she didn't force it, the two said that they would stay for a night and see each other at Xigou Qiaotou the next day.

Shui Yingying walked into He's house with her front foot, and regretted it with her back foot. Compared with the desertion and decline of the Shui family, the He family is simply a different world. Since the rich man He Dayu became the chief of security, his family is full of guests every day, and it is very lively. Ma Chao even had high hopes for He Dabao, and every three or five rooms, he would go to Donggou to inspect it. came, ate and lived in He's house. He Daju treated Ma Jiabing even more warmly, and his face could no longer see the ferocity that he treated Cha Man'er and others back then, as if Ma Chao was his brother who had been separated for many years, and he was not enthusiastic about killing chickens and sheep, and he had to take out the barley wine that had been cellared for many years to entertain his subordinates.

On this day, Ma Chao happened to be at He's house. When Shui Yingying entered the door, her brother-in-law He Shuhuai was slaughtering sheep, and when she saw her staggering into the courtyard, she did not express surprise and concern for her high bulging body, but said rather dejectedly: "Yingying is here, go to the kitchen, your sister is too busy, you go and give a hand." ”

My sister was startled a few times in a row, and pounced on her to touch her stomach, but was gently scolded by Shui Yingying: "There are many people in the courtyard, don't you shame me." Da Mei stuck out her tongue, pulled her to sit down, and asked what was there from time to time, why didn't she say anything to her? Shui Yingying said that in two months, she will give birth.

"It's a son, I can't look away." Da Mei was extremely excited. The two sisters were working in the kitchen and doing homework, and the sky was blacked.

At night, Da Mei and Ying Ying slept under a quilt, and there was a sound of drinking in the house, Ma Chao didn't drink it himself, but he supported his subordinates to drink. After all, He Daju was old and not an opponent, and he was soon irrigated by the Ma family soldiers to crawl into the pigsty and vomit. He Shuhuai took over from Lao Tzu into battle, and after a few strokes, he also got drunk. Yingying couldn't get used to hearing this kind of voice, and said irritably: "It's noisy, I would have known that your family was like this, so I wouldn't have come." ”

Da Mei said with a dark face: "I'm also annoying, but what can I do, my father-in-law has to treat them as honored guests, and I can't help it." ”

"It's me, I'm going to kick them out." Ying Ying said hatefully.

"I don't know if the sky is thick or not, they can catch up?"

In a word, the past suddenly stirred up, and Yingying, who was sleeping in her sister's arms, remembered the days when Qingshiling was occupied by Feng Chuanwu, and remembered the two hands that stretched out to her again and again in the night......

The next day, Yingying left the He family early, and she really couldn't get used to seeing the He family's appearance of currying favor with Ma Chao. Da Mei sent her out of the village, and she forced Da Mei to go back, saying that she would come to collect food in a while. Da Mei wanted to accompany her for a while, but the voice of the man He Shuhuai had already sounded in the village alley, and there were guests at home again.

It deserves to have an accident on this day, and the grain could have arrived at the bridgehead earlier, but the stomach disease of the second aunt at the bottom of the slope was committed again, and when the pain of the second aunt was stopped, and then rushed to the bridge, the misfortune had happened.

Ma Chao set up two sentries at the bridge, and when they passed by yesterday, the two sentries went to chase the rabbit and didn't meet them. Shui Yingying walked to the bridge alone, and two sentinels blocked her. Shui Yingying didn't take the sentry seriously at first, saying that she had just come out of He Baochang's house, and He Baochang was her relative. The two sentries laughed hesitantly, and one of them looked at her for a long time and said, "It's a relative of He Baochang's family, a distinguished guest." By the time the two sentinels found out that they were acting ill with her, it was too late.

The two sentries had drunk too much, and after eating rabbits last night, they brought a jar of wine from He's house, and squatted in the newly built sentry room at the head of the bridge to drink, and they drank too much, and they had not fully woken up this time. Looking at Shui Yingying's gaze, she was a little drunk and hazy. It's no wonder that Shui Yingying is dressed up too eye-catching, who dares to wear it like her if she is pregnant with Liujia in the ditch, if it is not for her shy belly, everyone who looks at it will look like a new daughter-in-law who has just passed the door. The two sentinels were pretending to examine her at first, but later, they started to do it. As soon as Shui Yingying scolded, one of them rewarded her with an ear scraper. Shui Yingying had suffered such humiliation, and immediately, she let go of her throat, if it wasn't for her body being too bulky, her fists and feet might have been used.

Shui Yingying's ambition aroused the bestiality of the two sentinels, the two sentinels originally wanted to get a little cheap, say a few words of meat, at most touch the ass and eggs twice, and let her go after the addiction. As soon as she scolded, the two sentries became ill-intentioned, and pushed her into the sentry room, how could Shui Yingying let them succeed, and in the scuffle with each other, a sentry raised a gun and smashed a gun at her stomach. Shui Yingying only felt a pain in her stomach and squatted on the ground. The two sentinels were unwilling and forced her into the sentry room, and one of them took off his pants first. Shui Yingying saw that the two animals were really coming, so she couldn't care about it, kicked over the one who took off her pants, escaped from the sentry house, and ran away from the bridge. Another sentry behind him was chasing, and Shui Yingying shouted while running, but in the empty Xigou, how could there be a figure?

Shui Yingying escaped the clutches of the devil and didn't let the two animals succeed, but she also broke into a catastrophe, crossed the Xigou Bridge, and ran forward, a stone viciously tripped her, she fell, and when she struggled to get up, she found that there was more bright red blood on the ground, and then looked closely, from a pair of trouser legs, there was blood all ......

The child is gone.

Bluestone Ridge is three years old. In the past three years, a lot has happened in and out of the gorge. There are some things that can be mentioned, and some things that really can't be mentioned.

The Red Army's Western Route Army really crossed the Yellow River and advanced westward. But can that be called advance? Ma Jiabing seemed to have laid out his pockets early, waiting for the Red Army to drill. Just after crossing the Yellow River, the vicious battle began, and for three days and three nights, the fierce guns of the Ma family soldiers blocked the pace of the Red Army's advance, and the Western Route Army met the hard bones. Later, I learned that the Western Route Army was a little helpless when it went west this time, and the war was not so easy to fight after all. When we arrived at Pingyang River, a terrible scene happened.

Ma Yuan and Ma Chao were ordered to jointly arrange the defense line, and according to Ma Buqing, a bird also wanted to fly over. The Ma family brothers used their housekeeping skills this time, and the defense line was so dense that even Gada and Camp Commander Zhang, who were waiting in Pingyangchuan to respond, were shocked into a cold sweat. As a result, as soon as the battle began, the limited combat effectiveness of the Red Army was destroyed. This dark Kuomintang siege war was destined to make the sky of Pingyangchuan lose its color, and the earth was so dull that it could not make a sound for a while, and the air was filled with a smell that was both painful and regrettable for a long time, and Pingyangchuan underwent a great baptism.

An even greater panic was to come, and the main force of the Red Army, under the covert reinforcement of the local armed forces led by Gada and Battalion Commander Zhang, braved the rain of bullets and bullets to tear a bloody hole in the palm of Ma Jiabing's hand, broke through Pingyang River and Qingshiling at a very heavy price, and continued to the west with scars. A large number of wounded and sick people had no choice but to stay in Pingyang River and Qingfeng Gorge, which gave Ma Jiabing a chance to retaliate, and a shocking manhunt was staged immediately.

The enemy family of Pingyang River suffered a catastrophe. God, I can't mention it, I really can't mention it.

The catastrophe occurred one night in the second half of the last half of the main forces of the Red Army. Originally, there was no danger in the Qiu Mansion, although Ma Yuan had long been suspicious of the Qiu Mansion, but Qiu Dacheng was a very cautious person, coupled with the skillful cover of Battalion Commander Zhang, Ma Yuan slowly eliminated his suspicion of the Qiu family. Before the Red Army marched westward, Qiu Dacheng also deliberately brought good beef and mutton and raisins from Xinjiang to comfort Ma Yuan's team, which made a good start among the merchants in Pingyangchuan. When the war broke out, Ma Yuan issued a death order, and anyone in Pingyangchuan who dared to hide the Red Army privately or provide help to the Red Army would be regarded as a communist and sentenced to death. After discussing with Camp Commander Zhang, Qiu Dacheng decided to establish a temporary rescue site in Hujiawan, 20 miles away from Pingyang River, with Leng Chinese Medicine Doctor in charge of preparing medicine and Qiu Dacheng providing food and clothing. Everything was done very well during the war, and Ma Jiabing didn't smell it at all. After the main force went west, a large number of wounded and sick remained, and the resettlement became a problem for a while. Winter is approaching, and severe cold and disease plague the officers and men of the Western Route Army. Through various channels, Qiu Dacheng successively transferred more than ten wounded and sick people to the homes of nearby small merchants and became apprentices. More, but hidden in caves.

If it weren't for the enemy's distance, the enemy wouldn't have been able to cause death, who knew it was him!

After Qiu Jiayuan was sent out by Old Lady Qi, he could have continued to work beside the army commander in Xi'an, and the army commander also meant this. At this time, Situ Xueer had been completely confused by him, and was willing to serve him, Situ Xueer held the dream of flying away with the enemy, and changed his way to say good things for him in front of Rong Huaishan, Rong Huaishan was a little moved, and he really wanted to dig up the Qiu family from the side surnamed Lu, and secretly send it to the United States with Situ Xueer. At this time, Qiu Jiayuan suddenly left Situ Xue'er, hid from the army commander, and left Xi'an, and when the army commander found out his whereabouts, he had crossed the Yellow River with the Western Route Army.

By doing this, Qiu Jiayuan is also atoning for his sins. He admitted that after arriving in Liangzhou for the second time, he did make the mistake of rushing forward, and it was this mistake that brought a devastating blow to the revolutionary struggle in Liangzhou and Gulang. However, this is not up to him, he is bent on making meritorious achievements and wants to let the fire of revolution burn the prairies. However, on the one hand, with the restraint of Ma Chao and others, and on the other hand, with the monitoring and obstruction of Situ Xueer, it is difficult to carry out every step of the work. In desperation, he made this decision, using Sun Liu and others to make a disturbance in the peasant association first, who knows, this fire not only did not burn the enemy, but took so many lives in vain. Back in Xi'an, Qiu Jiayuan reflected all night, the more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for the organization, sorry for the army commander, he vowed that even if he went to the soup, he would rekindle the revolutionary fire in Liangzhou!

The Western Route Army broke through the defense line of Pingyangchuan and then marched westward, and Qiu Jiayuan asked his superiors for instructions and decided to stay. Considering that this was his hometown, his superiors agreed to let him stay and take charge of the treatment and transfer of the wounded and sick.

Who knew that God would not give him a chance, Qiu Jiayuan took a huge risk and rescued many wounded and sick people under the nose of Ma Jiabing. On this day, together with his sister-in-law Shui Ermei, he vacated the warehouse used by the enemy family to place the goods, and secretly transferred the wounded and sick in. I thought that this thing was done very carefully, and who knew that President Bai would know.

Who would have thought that Chairman Bai had long coveted the Renyi River of the Qiu family, and had always wanted to defeat Qiu Dacheng in commerce and enjoy the passage from Liangzhou to Pingyang River to Xi'an. Renyihe's many turmoil was caused by his secret obstruction, including Feng Chuanwu's desire to forcibly occupy the Renzi name, which was also bewitched by him. Helplessly, Qiu Dacheng is always superior to him, and the two have secretly competed for several years, and until now, Qiu Dacheng's benevolence and righteousness are still better than his Huitong.

President Bai was ordered by Ma Buqing in Qinghai to go to Pingyangchuan to see if the merchants were consistent on the outside and whether they would secretly go against the Ma family. As a result, he saw Qiu Jiayuan's figure on the streets of Pingyangchuan at dusk, and as soon as he followed it, he discovered this big secret.

The three names of the Qiu family, the treasury and the Qiu Mansion were surrounded by the Ma family's soldiers, and from dark to dawn, a bloody disaster was staged. Ma Yuan does what he says, and he will never be soft. He even gave up the old trick of parading the streets, and simply came to a clean and neat way, pulled Qiu Dacheng's father and son and Shui Ermei into the warehouse together, and made a big dish with 20 wounded and sick people. Without a single bullet, the storehouse was set on fire and burned alive.

Up and down the Qiu Mansion, it happened that there was an enemy who was far away. On the evening of the day of the accident, Situ Xueer suddenly came to Pingyangchuan from Xi'an, and she took Rong Huaishan's secret order and ordered Qiu Jiayuan to leave Pingyangchuan quickly and return to Xi'an with her. Where can Qiu Jiayuan listen to her, during the dispute between the two, Situ Xue'er suddenly ordered his subordinates who came with him to tie up Qiu Jiayuan.

"If you want to turn your back on me, dream about it, even if you are a ghost, I will be with you too!"

Situ Xue'er took Qiu Jiayuan out of Pingyang River, stopped in front of a small village that Ma Jiabing couldn't take care of, and asked him why he deceived her? Qiu Jiayuan flatly denied it, refusing to admit who he had deceived. Situ Xue'er had heard enough of his words, and said impatiently: "You know best whether to lie or not, you don't need to pretend in front of me." After scolding, Situ Xue'er smiled sadly: "Yuan, I can't escape your clutches, even if you cheat, you have to deceive me enough for my life." Qiu Jiayuan smiled coldly, and was just about to say that it was impossible, when he heard Situ Xue'er say something that made him feel terrified.

"If you tie him up, you will become a ghost, and I will marry him!"

The news of the enemy's accident did not reach Qingshiling until twenty days later.

The huge grief of losing his grandson made Shui Erye sick, he lay on the kang for two years, and the terrible thing is that since the miscarriage, the girl Yingying's stomach seems to have been deflated forever, and she can no longer bulge. The dense sound of guns and the thick smell of blood in the canyon aggravated his sadness, and for a long time, Shui Erye was confused, lying down as if he was waiting to die.

On the day the news came, Sister-in-law Wu first turned in front of the door for a long time, and she didn't dare to walk in, for fear that when the news reached the ears of Shui Erye, his old life would really be gone. When the sun was setting in the west, Sister-in-law Wu still couldn't suppress the fear in her heart, walked in and sat on the kang, and told the story of Pingyangchuan in a roundabout way. Sister-in-law Wu also has no choice, such a big matter is put in her heart, how can she stand it as a woman? Besides, the adults are smoked to death, and Ermei still has three dolls left, whether they are dead or alive, they have to inquire. I didn't think that the second master of the water turned over, and the bull head said to the horse's mouth: "You mean the unrighteous seed that picks up grain, forget it, let him go." Sister-in-law Wu wiped her nose in despair and walked out sobbing. She thought it would be better to go to Donggou with a thick face, and she was afraid that only Da Mei and her family could help at the moment. In the evening of the same day, when Sister-in-law Wu dragged her tired body to hit the east ditch and walked back, she faintly saw movement on the ridge, cheered up, and rushed into the courtyard when it was completely dark. Oh my God, on the ridge, on the grassy beach, in the courtyard, the second master of Shui built no less than a hundred fires in her back and forth in the east ditch. At this moment, he was lighting the torches one by one.

"Are you crazy or demonic, what are you doing with the fire, are you afraid that outsiders won't know that this big yard is guarded?" Sister-in-law Wu was frightened and rushed over to step on the fire. Suddenly, the second master of Shui who was still lying on the kang during the day was dying, and there was actually a fire in his bones, it was really fire, and she could see it clearly. As soon as the fire fell on the ridge, it became something else, and it was about to set the whole ridge on fire, and the ridge jumped up in an instant, as if it was very unwilling to stop something.

Sister-in-law Wu was shocked by a novelty, and her weak body instantly gained strength, it turned out that this old ghost was not knocked down by the day.

The firelight reflected the mountains and ravines, and it also illuminated people's hearts no longer so dark. Sister-in-law Wu squatted down and squatted by the fire. She knew that this pile of fires was ordered to Ermei, and with these fires, Ermei would never get lost again. On the way to the underworld, with the fire sent by the family, you can't step on the ecstasy grass. But she wouldn't have thought that Second Master Shui would let out a sad cry on this night, his cry resounded through the mountains and the world, this was the first time she walked into the Shui family compound and heard his cry.

"Ermei, how can you leave your father behind, Dad still has so many words to say to you clearly...... Ermei, my hard-working baby, why don't you say just leave. Let Daddy send the white-headed man to the black-headed man, you are ruthless, why do you force Daddy to ...... on this step"

Crying and crying, he suddenly scolded Qiu Dacheng and his son-in-law Qiu Jiakuan. "What do I owe to you, I gave you the best girl, and you can't even save her life, you, are you still a person?"

"I don't owe you anything, I don't! I have only done business with your surname Qiu once in my life, and you still insist that I adulterated the white yak, you don't have long eyes, it was your housekeeper who fornicated with my housekeeper, and made trouble from it, you can't even distinguish this, and you still have the face to do it for the Communist Party? I don't have the guts to do this, you dare, you really can't weigh your own weight——"

Crying and scolding rang all night.

Collecting grain was kicked out of the Shui family in the second year, and the second master of Shui blamed him for Yingying's miscarriage.

In fact, if you don't use the second master to rush, you also want to go back to Xigou to pick up grain. Yingying lost her flesh and bones, and it was more painful than anyone else to collect food. But the pain could not be eaten, and he had to find a way to excrete the pain.

This method is the cultivation of medicine.

In the spring of the following year, when he saw that it was hopeless to grow medicine on the ridge, he quietly came to Xigou and conspired with his father for a few nights, and his plan won the support of Lailu. Taking advantage of the time when the second master couldn't get up from the kang, he picked up grain and came with his father, and a few second aunts, openly planted medicine in Xigou. This move finally angered Shui Erye: "Get out, you get out of Lao Tzu, leave you as a scourge, and sooner or later you will harm my family!" ”

When the Red Army crossed the Yellow River, tender medicinal buds had grown in the slopes of the Xigou, and the hard work paid off, and the grain was hard to pick up, and the medicine was planted on the ground where the crops did not grow in the Xigou, although this medicine could not be compared with the Qingshiling, but after all, it was also medicine.

On the day when the medicine vomited green buds, Yingying set up an ox cart, which was full of household belongings, and came to Xigou with a squeak.

Yingying couldn't give up her father at first, and she didn't feel at ease when she put her father on the ridge alone. Later, her father chattered, and she was really annoyed by the chatter, so she was ruthless, entrusted her father to Sister-in-law Wu, and drove the ox cart into Xigou.

In fact, she is more relieved not to pick up food. The day after picking up grain and being blasted out of the Shuijia compound by his father, the dog carried the burden and hummed a little song in his mouth, and went to Xigou with joy.

This dead girl, she still hasn't married yet, and she is determined to drive her crazy!

From Qingshiling to Xigou, Yingying thought a lot, she remembered the night she eloped with Qiu Jiayuan with the silver, remembered everything that happened after Qiu Jiayuan arrived at the Shui family compound for the second time, remembered the days when she was bullied by Feng Chuanwu, and remembered the absurd years when she was forced to marry to collect grain. After thinking about it, Shui Yingying figured out everything. I used to be young, so young that I didn't know how to write the word "years" and how to write the word "days". It is a good thing to think that what you are happy about, and a person who is pleasing to your eyes is a good person. Only now do I understand that people and things are complicated, some things can be understood, and some things cannot be understood at all, and they have to go through to know. Qiu Jiayuan is good, but he flies in the air, too far from the ground, and to live, he has to step on the ground with both feet. The second sister said it well: "What does a woman marry, what she marries is dependence, you have to have a shoulder, rely on it for a lifetime, and rely on your heart to be sure." ”

Now she understands that if she can rely on it, she will pick up the shoulder of food, and people like Qiu Jiayuan He Shuyang, you can expect him to shelter you from the wind and rain, relying on a temporary trip, relying on a lifetime, it is difficult.

Thinking of this, Yingying's heart was filled with a layer of sourness, and she felt that she owed a lot of food over the years.

Don't be afraid, she is still young and has time to pay it back. This trip to Xigou, she is the one who pays off. She has made up her mind, in the future, she will no longer mess around, and she will die and live with the grudge of collecting grain for the rest of her life.

Live a lifetime.

When Yingying arrived at Xigou, she found that there was a baby running in the courtyard, and in addition to Yueyue, the dog also hugged the two that Xiao Wuzi had left behind. When the babies saw the dog, they called the kiss, as if she was the owner of the hospital. Yingying didn't dare to have sex with the dog this time, after all, this was not on the ridge, she silently packed up her things, and silently endured the strange gaze that the old and young people in the courtyard threw at her. Later, when he came back from collecting grain, he first stood in the yard, stared at her vigorously, looked at her for a long time, and came over silently to help her carry the mahogany box into the kiln.

Although the kiln is very broken, it can't be compared with the Shui family, Yingying suddenly has a sense of steadfastness in her heart.

If it weren't for the Red Army's westward advance, the wish of collecting grain might have been fulfilled on the land of Xigou, but the sound of guns and cannons immediately followed cut it all in. In those days when the guns were ringing out, the grain was suddenly busier, more busy than anyone in the ditch. First, someone from Donggou came to him and begged him to see a doctor. After Donggou Leng Chinese Medicine was rescued by Gada, hundreds of people in this ditch had a headache and brain fever, and they couldn't find a place to take medicine. "Picking up grain is first excused, and then there are many people looking for it, and then it is difficult to push. When the Red Army was dispersed by the Ma soldiers, all the missing arms and legs were hidden in the ditch and cliff, and it would be even more difficult to collect grain and turn a blind eye.

The place of treatment is quietly set up in a hole in the broken kiln of Xigou Yuanzi, far away from Zhuangzi, but close to the Tibetan area, and turning over a ridge to the south, which is the Tibetan area. The Ma soldiers in the Tibetan area did not dare to harass them, and the knives and horse whips in the hands of the Tibetans were prepared for the tranquility of the Tibetan area. Moreover, since Sun Liu was broken and thrown off the Xigou Bridge, this Xigou suddenly became silent and dumb, and became a piece of reassuring meat for Ma Chao. Ma Chao would never have dreamed that in this Xigou, which was dumbfounded by his own shot, someone would secretly prepare the next escape road for the Red Army.

The whereabouts of picking up grain became treacherous, and for a while, even Shui Yingying couldn't figure out what his nerves were doing. During the day, he still went to the medicine field to be busy, busy and busy, raised his head and looked around, taking advantage of the empty space in the ditch, he slipped into the broken kiln in an autumn. In addition to the herbs he had made himself, there was also a large bag of valuable medicine and cotton, which had been thrown into the medicine field by a man of great age one morning. Relying on these medicines and cotton, he collected grain and treated the wounds of six Red Army soldiers. It's miserable, these Red Army, who are about the same age as him, have been rolling in the rain of bullets for more than ten years. The youngest, only sixteen years old, was still a tender baby, one leg was broken by Ma Jiabing, and he lay down under the stone cliff for a day and a night, and then let his companions save him and help him to Xigou together. They washed their wounds, pasted herbs to stop bleeding, and pulled out two roasted yams from the fire. The two warriors held the yam and asked him gratefully, is it an underground party? Shiliang shook his head, saying that he was just a pharmacist, and the master had taught him some emergency methods. After half a month in the cave, the tender baby was able to walk on one leg, and sent them across the mountains overnight to collect grain, pointing them to the road to Tibet, watching the two black shadows disappear, and there was a rare pride in the heart of picking up grain.

"As a pharmacist, all I think about is saving people." Uncle Xicai's words rang in his ears again.

The whereabouts of the son aroused the vigilance of the father's coming, and he secretly followed behind this day, picking up grain and just about to turn around to the broken kiln, and the road grabbed his son: "Baby, you can't go, if you let Ma Ye's soldiers know, this life, if you lose it, there is no sound." The pace of picking up grain seemed to be frozen, and in an instant, he roared like the second master of the water: "What are you doing here, are you afraid that no one will know, go back!" "I heard my son roar like this, and I went back with a stomach full of fear.

The mystery was finally solved by Shui Damei in Donggou. On this day, as soon as she finished changing the medicine for the wounded and was washing her bandages, she heard the sound of small footsteps outside the broken kiln, and it was too late to run out. He picked up the wounded man lying on the grass and ran into the kiln. Just in case, the grain was dug at the kiln wall, and one of them even opened the skylight. But the wounded on this day was a woman, who was picked up in a ditch while collecting grain, and she was not seriously injured, and she was faint from hunger. The female wounded saw the situation and knew that it was exposed, and struggled to jump out of his arms. "Run, I can't bother you."

The two of them are pushing me to let you, and Damei's footsteps have arrived. Seeing that it was Da Mei, she was stunned when she picked up the grain, and Da Mei was also stunned. Da Mei from Donggou never thought that picking up grain would hold a woman! There are already a few singles in the ditch who have secretly locked the fallen female Red Army in their homes, should they pick up food? Da Mei didn't have time to think about it, so she timidly said to the grain: "I'm here to beg you." ”

"Please?"

"I ......" Da Mei wanted to say and stopped. In his eyes, he believed that Da Mei had encountered difficulties, but what difficulties could the daughter-in-law of Donggou He Dabao have?

After the night covered the land, she collected food and settled the female Red Army, and followed Damei on the road. The ditch is extremely quiet, this silence is exchanged for the sound of guns, as soon as it gets dark, the whole Xigou falls into a silence that is more terrible than death, no one dares to easily send out footsteps, for fear that if you are not careful, you will step on the Hades Bridge. The two of them walked cautiously, and neither dared to open their mouths to speak. Later, after crossing the Xigou Bridge, Da Mei said that she had saved a pair of Red Army. If you don't believe it, how can the daughter-in-law of the He family save the Red Army, her family is now the hot nest of the Ma family.

Picking up the grain, half-believing and following Damei, about midnight, the footsteps of the two stopped in front of the He family ancestral hall in Donggou. Da Mei looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual, so she quickly pulled the grain in. After going around in the ancestral hall, I saw a small door when I picked up grain, passed through the small door, walked more than ten steps along the cliff, and a small firewood house emerged. Da Mei squeaked open the door and whispered, "It's inside." ”

What was hidden in the firewood room was not gold and silver treasures, but a couple. The male is as big as the grain picker, and the female looks older than the big plum. Only then did I believe that Da Mei was not lying, and she did save a pair of Red Army. This pair of the Red Army was originally a master-servant relationship. The woman is the little wife of a rich man in Sichuan, and the man is a long-term worker in the hospital. The two fell in love for a long time, and they actually came up with the idea of eloping. Unexpectedly, the matter was revealed, and the rich man was almost thrown into the river. After the two escaped from the clutches, they defected to the Red Army, and along the way, they lived and died, but they could not shake their determination to accompany each other to death.

The woman's injuries were not serious, but she had two cuts on her head, and now she has healed. It was the man who was in danger, his intestines were broken, and when Da Mei met him in the ditch, it was no different from death, and the woman's plea worked, and Da Mei still carried him to the ox cart and sent him into the firewood room while it was dark. It's really a loss to Damei, who actually learned from the pig cutter in the ditch and sewed up the intestines with hemp horses. A person's life is said to be expensive, and it is said to be cheap, but he did not die. He smiled when the gleaning hand touched his belly.

After tossing for half a night, I finally tossed the pustules on my stomach, picked up food and applied some herbs to relieve pain and swelling, wiped my sweat and said: "People can't die in one or two hits, but this intestine is afraid that it will leave a permanent disease." ”

The man smiled, stood up and said, "My life is big, I fled for my life when I hit the house, and I fell down the cliff, and I didn't even break my skin." ”

In a word, I have been thinking about collecting grain for many days, what is life? Da Mei, Er Mei, and the old and young of the Shangshui family in Qingshiling, close their own, why is this life so different?

But since then, picking up grain and Damei, I have more things in my heart.
