Zhang Datou and Zhang Hongliang took more than 20 young and middle-aged men in the village to the tip of the plum blossom.

After crossing the chain bridge, the clear sky was out of sight, and the fog obscured their good vision.

As soon as Zhang Datou entered the fog area, everyone shouted at the top of their voices and let the gong ring.

Those younger men riveted their strength, shouting all the way through their voices: "Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu-"

The gong also rang loudly.

This kind of formation, Zhang Datou thought, even ghosts will be frightened, but he still asked everyone to follow closely, not to get lost and fall behind, for fear that something bad will happen to one person alone.

The dense fog-shrouded mountains and forests did not react at all to their noisy shouts and gongs and drums.

Zhang Datou's heart is very heavy, maybe this time he will go up the mountain in vain, but he must make another effort.

Zhang Datou heard his father Zhang Wenhui say that he regretted that he left Fenghuang Village with the villagers with Zhang Changfa, who was still waiting to be fed, and he wanted to send some food to the plum blossom peak, but he was still afraid that the Japanese would call, so he fled with the villagers.

When they returned to Phoenix Village a few months later, Phoenix Village was intact, and the Japanese devils did not cross the tip of the plum blossom at all and enter the Phoenix Village scourge.

However, when they returned to Phoenix Village, they found that the tip of the plum blossom was locked in a fog and full of mystery......

After Zhang Wenhui and the villagers returned to Fenghuang Village, he went up the plum blossom tip alone once, and found that the peak of the plum blossom tip had become a scorched earth, he could imagine how tragic the battle had taken place here, and he seemed to hear many souls shouting on the top of the mountain......

When he went down the mountain to return to the village, he got lost in the fog and ran into a wolf, just when he confronted the wolf, he heard a gunshot, a bullet flew out of the dense fog jungle, from the wolf's left eye through the right eye, the wolf died in front of him, Zhang Wenhui looked at the jungle in the fog in horror, he didn't find anything, the jungle was dead silent.

Zhang Wenhui seems to be living in a dream, whose gun is this bullet, is it the souls of those sacrificed New Fourth Army soldiers who helped him kill the ferocious jackal? Zhang Wenhui was surprised, and vaguely heard someone in the jungle calling him, and he walked towards the ethereal voice......

Zhang Wenhui didn't know where the strange voice would take him, but he didn't have the strength to refuse the call of the voice, he followed the voice through the misty jungle in an illusory state......

It wasn't until he miraculously walked to the edge of the chain bridge that the ethereal and eerie sound disappeared.

Zhang Wenhui looked back at the mountains and forests shrouded in thick fog, his eyes were moist, he decided that it was the heroic spirits of those soldiers who died in the plum blossom tip that led him out of the dangerous plum blossom tip, he regretted that he fled with the villagers, he should stay, persuade the villagers to stay together, send food to the mountain, and fight devils with them! If that, or they wouldn't have sacrificed so much, or......

After Zhang Wenhui went down the mountain, the next day he took the whole village to the peak of the plum blossom tip to worship the mountain, to pay tribute to those red heroes, and set a rule, every year on August 1, to go to the mountain, this day, has also become the most important festival in Phoenix Village.

After Zhang Wenhui's death, Zhang Datou inherited this tradition, but Zhang Datou, like his father, did not know when the fog of the plum blossom tip would dissipate, and he still warned the villagers not to easily walk on the mysterious plum blossom tip alone.

They crossed the mountains and mountains, through the misty jungle after mist, and walked towards the peak of the plum blossom spire.

Zhong Feixing turned around, feeling that his face was very heavy, weighing on a lot of things, those things should be bats.

They were sucking his blood, and he could hear his own blood flowing.

He heard the gunshots again, and he heard the gunshots literally, not the vision.

At this time, his brain was very clear, maybe it was back to light.

The gunfire tore through the frozen air in the cave, and Zhong Fei accurately captured the direction of the gunshot.

He ran his hand over his face, and many fleshy bats with sharp claws flew up and scurryed around the cave.

Zhong Fei's face was numb and he couldn't feel the pain anymore.

But his brain was clearer than ever, he knew what he was going to do, the sound of the gunshot was not groundless, he struggled to move his heavy body, and slowly crawled in the direction where the gunfire came.

That more than ten meters of distance, Zhong Fei climbed for almost a century, and his physical strength was about to run out.

He crawled there and found that he could no longer climb inside, and a wall of the cave blocked him.

Zhong Fei strongly felt that behind the cave wall blocking him was the exit, and there must be someone there.

The dull sound of gunfire still echoed in his head.

Zhong Fei seemed to feel that there was a force in the darkness infused into his body.

This magical power filled his life.

The flower of his life doesn't end there! Zhong Fei stretched out his hand and touched a stone.

He slowly stood up against the wall of the cave.

Zhong Fei wanted to shout loudly, but his throat was already filled with countless blood blisters, and he couldn't make any sound at all, and the only sound he made now was heavy breathing.

Zhong Fei grabbed the stone in his hand and used all his strength to smash it down on the stone wall! "Boom-"

A dull sound rang out from the cavern.

Zhong Fei stopped, put his ear to the wall of the cave, and listened to the reaction of the other side, if there was really someone on the other side, they would definitely hear the sound of him smashing the wall of the cave with a stone.

Zhong Fei slammed the cave wall one by one, and a dull sound echoed in the cave.

The sound of Zhong Fei's smashing seemed to alarm the skeletons in the cave.

In the darkness, the skeletons stood up one by one and slowly shook towards Zhong Fei, who felt the skeletons sway towards him with a heavy resentment and fear.

They want to stop Zhong Fei, they are afraid of the gun that has suppressed them for decades.

Zhong Fei sensed the popularity of the other side of the cave.

The skeletons that were walking towards him behind him were getting closer and closer, and those skeletons exuded a cold aura.

Zhong Fei's breathing became more and more rapid, and the magical power in his body was being exhausted bit by bit.

After he struck the wall of the cave one last time with the stone, his hand went limp, and the stone fell from his hand and fell to the ground in a dull manner.

He felt a lot of skeleton hands reach for him, and he slowly collapsed to the ground, and the desperate cries of the skeletons could be heard in the darkness.

Someone is digging something on the other side of the cave.

But Zhong Fei passed out again, he didn't hear the sound from the other side of the cave, if he did, he would definitely not pass out, he would regain a power, the power that those skeletons couldn't stop.

The skeletons seemed to hear voices coming from the other side of the cavern, and they panicked in the darkness, as if their doom was about to come.

The skeletons let out a terrible cry of despair in the cave, and they frantically searched for a hiding place in the cave, for fear that the gun that would make them fear aim at them, but where was their hiding place in the cave, it was a grave, the grave of the invaders.

The blind mother-in-law opened a hole.

The light of the fire pierced the darkness of the cavern on the other side.

Many bats ghostly emerge from holes within caves.

Zhang Xiuxiu smelled a strong smell of mildew and blood.

The blind mother-in-law felt the bones scattered all over the place, and muttered something in her mouth.

Zhang Xiuxiu also saw those bones, she didn't expect this cave within a hole to be so eerie, and she didn't know who these bones in the cave were.

She didn't understand what the blind mother-in-law said, as if she was cursing.

The blind mother-in-law entered the cave within the cave and found the unrecognizable Zhong Fei who still had a breath of air.

When the blind mother-in-law saw Zhong Fei, there were still three bats lying on his face sucking blood.

Sensing something, she reached out and grabbed a blood-sucking bat and pinched it to death, while the other two seemed frightened, chirping, flapping their wings, and flying away.

The blind mother-in-law threw the dead bat into the hole with all her might, and the body of the bat fell on a corpse with a dull sound.

Then, the blind mother-in-law picked up Zhong Fei with amazing strength, walked back to the fire, and put him next to Zhu Future.

Zhang Xiuxiu never thought that Zhong Fei would be in it.

She is now worried about Shen Yuyu's fate, they have all found it, where is Shen Yuyu at this time? Zhang Xiuxiu felt a faint pain in her heart.

Zhu Future turned his face sideways and looked at Zhong Fei.

Zhong Fei was completely unhuman, he was dying.

Zhu Future's tears flowed out, Zhong Fei had also experienced a terrible nightmare, but Zhu Future didn't know why Zhong Fei was in this hole in the hole, and he didn't know what kind of thrilling nightmare Zhong Fei had experienced.

Thankfully, Zhong Fei was found and still alive, believing that the mysterious blind mother-in-law would revive him.

What about Shen Yuyu? Zhu Future, like Zhang Xiuxiu, was worried about Shen Yuyu.

The blind mother-in-law stretched out her hand and gently touched Zhong Fei's head and face.

Then he shook his head and said, "He has a fever, I don't know what disease he has, he should be sent down the mountain for treatment immediately, otherwise his life will be in danger." ”

Zhang Xiuxiu fed Zhong Fei some water and said anxiously, "Then what should I do now?" ”

The blind mother-in-law said, "Xiuxiu, you are here to guard them, don't be afraid, there is nothing terrible on this mountain, I will go down the mountain to find your father, and ask him to bring people up and carry them down the mountain." ”

Zhang Xiuxiu nodded with tears in her eyes, she didn't have any other way, if she went down the mountain alone, maybe she would get lost before she got out of the jungle at the entrance of the cave, if she went down the mountain with her blind mother-in-law, she couldn't rest assured that it wasn't them.

Therefore, it is the best choice to let the blind mother-in-law go down the mountain and ask Zhang Datou to go up the mountain to save people.

The blind mother-in-law was so familiar with everything here, and she walked out of the cave with a cane and into the misty jungle.

Soon after the blind mother-in-law left, Zhang Xiuxiu faintly heard the sound of the gong.

She was as familiar with the sound of the gong as the blind mother-in-law was to the jungle at the tip of the plum blossoms, and if there was anything in the village, the gong would be often used, such as in autumn, when the villagers would beat the gong to drive away the wild boars that were ravaging the sweet potato fields in the col; On the night of the 14th day of the seventh lunar month, the gong will be beaten all night to drive away ghosts; Whose child is admitted to university or joins the army, the village will send someone to beat the gong and send him to Qingshi Town......

By the way, if someone's child is lost, the villagers will also bang the gong to look for it......

Zhang Xiuxiu really heard the sound of the gong, the sound of the gong came from far and near, and Zhang Xiuxiu also faintly heard the shouts of the villagers......

When Zhang Xiuxiu was able to truly distinguish the voices of her father Zhang Datou and Zhang Hongliang, she excitedly said to Zhu Future: "It must be my father who brought people from the village to save us!" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu walked out of the cave with great excitement.

Standing at the mouth of the cave, the thick fog rushed past her eyes one after another, cold and damp, and she couldn't help but shudder.

Zhang Xiuxiu didn't dare to run into the jungle to meet her father, she could only stand at the mouth of the cave and shout loudly: "Dad, Dad, I'm here-"

Zhang Xiuxiu believes that her father will definitely follow her voice when they hear it.

At this time, Zhang Xiuxiu suddenly thought, did the blind mother-in-law hear her father's gong and shouts? Also, what about Shen Yuyu? Where is she now? Are you still experiencing danger? ……

The first person to hear Zhang Xiuxiu's shout was Zhang Hongliang.

Zhang Hongliang stopped shouting, stood there and listened carefully, it was indeed Zhang Xiuxiu's voice.

Zhang Hongliang asked everyone to stop beating the gong and shouting, and then said to Zhang Datou: "Listen, it's Xiuxiu's shout." ”

Zhang Datou pricked up his ears, and sure enough, he heard his daughter's scream.

Zhang Datou's face appeared with joy, looking extremely excited, and he muttered: "Xiuxiu is still alive, Xiuxiu is still alive-"

Then, Zhang Datou tore open the broken gong throat and shouted loudly: "Xiuxiu - Dad heard your voice, you stand there and don't move, we are coming-"

Zhang Datou and Zhang Hongliang led the villagers to follow the sound.

A villager asked Zhang Datou, "Is the gong still ringing?" ”

Zhang Datou glared at his buffalo eyes and said, "Knock, why don't you knock!" Xiuxiu heard the sound of the gong and felt steady, so she was not afraid! ”

Then a loud gong sounded in the jungle.

Zhang Datou shouted as he walked: "Xiuxiu, don't worry, we're coming, you wait for us, don't move around-"

……

Zhang Xiuxiu stood at the entrance of the cave, waiting hopefully for her father's arrival, and she also hoped that her blind mother-in-law would be able to hear her father's cries and gongs; Zhang Xiuxiu hoped that Shen Yuyu could hear his father's voice......

Zhang Xiuxiu listened to the gongs and shouts that were getting closer and closer, and her own screams did not stop, she was afraid that after her screams stopped, her father and they would not be able to tell where she was.

The thick fog couldn't stop Zhang Datou from approaching Zhang Xiuxiu.

Finally, Zhang Datou saw Zhang Xiuxiu standing at the mouth of the cave, her hair was messy, her face was covered with dirty mud, and her eyes were red and swollen......

Zhang Datou grabbed Zhang Xiuxiu's two shoulders with both hands, looked at his daughter carefully, and said with tears in his eyes: "Child, you have suffered, wow-"

Zhang Xiuxiu also cried, and shouted in surprise and joy: "Dad-"

Zhang Datou stretched out a hand, wiped the tears on Zhang Xiuxiu's face and said, "Okay, child, let's go home, you're okay, it's okay." ”

Zhang Xiuxiu said: "They are still in the cave. ”

Zhang Datou said in surprise: "Xiuxiu, did you find them?" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu nodded.

Then, Zhang Xiuxiu led them into the cold and damp cave.

Zhang Datou and Zhang Hongliang were surprised when they entered the cave, there was such a cave in Meihuajian, they never expected it, and what they didn't expect was that the dead weirdo Yang Wuping in the cave except for Zhong Fei and them.

When Zhang Xiuxiu said to his father that the savage-like monster lying on the ground was Yang Wuping, Zhang Datou was stunned, how could he still be alive? It stands to reason that Yang Wuping is also over 80 years old, and it is a miracle that he was able to survive on the tip of the plum blossom in the harsh natural environment.

Zhang Xiuxiu talked about the blind mother-in-law, and after listening to it, Zhang Datou muttered: "Could it be that she is the legendary Hu Cuigu?" ”

50

That blind mother-in-law was indeed Hu Cuigu, she and Yang Wuping had been in the plum blossom tip for decades, and she was so familiar with every place, every tree, and even every grass in the plum blossom tip - so that she was able to run freely in the jungle of the plum blossom tip even if she was blind.

Hu Cuigu also heard Zhang Datou's shouts and gongs, and she didn't go far before she heard them.

After a while, she also heard Zhang Xiuxiu's shout.

When she heard Zhang Datou and Zhang Xiuxiu connect their heads, Hu Cuigu suddenly felt weak and sat down under an old pine tree.

Hu Cuigu's heart was dripping with blood.

For many years, Hu Cuigu has never stopped grieving.

She grieved for her fate, grieved for Yang Wuping, grieved for Jiang Feng's more than 30 heroes, and grieved for Zhang Changfa......

It was the deep grief that made her survive year after year, and now, Zhang Changfa is dead, Yang Wuping is also dead, and she died in her own hands, should her grief end? No, she fell into a greater sorrow, and the sorrow was like a thick fog that covered the mountains, enveloping her tightly and swallowing her.

Because of Hu Cuigu, Yang Wuping did not release his hatred until he died, she believed that after Yang Wuping died, he would also guard the tip of the plum blossom with a gun and suppress those hateful invaders, his gun made the devil frightened, and did not let any of the devils who walked into the cave escape, but he himself also paid for his life.

There are some details, Hu Cuigu thinks about it now, and the tide in her heart will still surge, and she can't calm down.

……

Yang Wuping hid in the jungle and kept aiming at the entrance of the cave, the entrance of the cave that could only allow a person to enter and exit was swarthy, and he couldn't see the fire in the depths of the cave.

However, as soon as someone comes out of the cave, he can feel it.

He can accurately let the bullet pass through the fog and hit the vital part of the devil, so that the devil can be killed with one shot! Hu Cuigu also felt that this was very magical, could it be that God was helping him? What makes Hu Cuigu feel even more incredible is that at the beginning, Hu Cuigu was also very uncomfortable with the thick fog and often got lost.

Yang Wuping was different, the fog seemed to exist in his eyes at all.

Even if Hu Cuigu got lost in the jungle, he could find her accurately.

After they walked into the cave and found that the devils were all dead inside, Yang Wuping changed.

He often ran around alone in the mountains and forests with the 38 rifle, and sometimes he would run to the peak of the plum blossom tip, lying in the trench, lying on his stomach for a day and a night.

He seemed to feel that the devil was still lurking in the jungle below the mountain, ready to attack the top of the mountain at any moment.

He also always believed that there were still scattered devils in the jungle at the tip of the plum blossoms, and he searched in the dense fog jungle over and over again, hoping to wipe out the devils himself.

Hu Cuigu didn't expect Yang Wuping to become crazy.

He moved all the corpses of the devils to the cave in the cave, sealed them, and lived in the cave outside.

Yang Wuping lived in this cave for decades.

Hu Cuigu has always accompanied him, but he often stares at Hu Cuigu at night, making a gurgling sound in his mouth, and his eyes become blood-red.

As long as Hu Cuigu heard the gurgling sound coming out of his mouth, she was terrified, and she knew that he would do something terrible next.

Yang Wuping would grab her hair, pull it hard, and scream.

Hu Cuigu felt that Yang Wuping was going to kill herself, her hands grabbed Yang Wuping's wrists and tried to break his hands away, but Yang Wuping's strength was too great, and Hu Cuigu couldn't break his hands at all.

Hu Cuigu knew the hatred in Yang Wuping's heart, and now, he vented all his hatred on her.

Yang Wuping's face twisted, he grabbed Hu Cuigu's hair, lifted her to the hole, and kicked her out.

Hu Cuigu endured both physical and mental pain, walking alone in the dark jungle.

As she walked, she listened to the cries of various insects in the jungle, and she also saw fireflies flying in front of her eyes, and she sat under a tree, imagining some things related to Yang Wuping in the past.

She and Yang Wuping have been engaged to a baby since they were children, and they grew up as childhood sweethearts.

In those peaceful days, Yang Wuping cared for her very much, as long as there was something good at home, he would secretly take it out for her to eat.

At that time, the two of them hid behind a straw stack, eating and watching the stars and fireflies flying in front of them, full of beautiful hopes for the future.

Yang Wuping is a small carpenter in the village, his craftsmanship is very good, the people in the village see their affectionate appearance, they all say that they are a natural pair, one has good craftsmanship, and the other is beautiful.

Yang Wuping knew that Hu Cuigu liked fireflies, so he made a beautiful little box out of wood, and at night, he went to the field to catch a lot of fireflies and put them in the box and gave them to Hu Cuigu.

After Hu Cuigu blew out the oil lamp before going to bed, she opened the small wooden box in the dark, and the fireflies flew out one by one, dancing in the mosquito net, emitting a beautiful light.

Hu Cuigu lay on the bed, looking at the flying fireflies, thinking to herself, the light emitted by the fireflies is a star, or maybe it is the eyes that Yang Wuping loves her deeply.

Her heart was filled with a great sense of happiness, as if a good life was within reach.

However, just a few days before they were ready to get married, the Japanese came.

It was the Japanese devil who ruthlessly broke Hu Cuigu's dream.

Hu Cuigu can't forget that day, that day is a nightmare that she can't get rid of in her life.

The Japanese devils surrounded the village.

At that time, Yang Wuping went to another village to do things for others, he wanted to make more money, and make his wedding with Hu Cuigu more pompous, it is not easy for a person to get married, this is one of the most important things in his life.

In fact, when Yang Wuping was doing carpentry work, he heard explosions and gunshots.

Yang Wuping's heart lifted.

He often heard that the Japanese devils were hitting wherever they were, and he didn't expect to enter their village so quickly.

Someone hurriedly ran back to the village where Yang Wuping was working, saying that the Japanese devils had hit Yang Wuping's village, and the Japanese devils were crazy and were burning, killing and looting......

The people of this village began to flee one after another, and Yang Wuping's carpenter work could not be done, so the owner said to him: "Look, Wuping, there is no way to do this work, will you also run away with me?" If the Japanese call after a while, it will be too late to leave! ”

Yang Wuping did not run with the owner.

He has his family and Hu Cuigu in mind.

When Yang Wuping returned to the village, he found that the village had been ruined and the Japanese had withdrawn, leaving behind a ruined village.

His family was killed by the Japanese.

He didn't know why the Japanese were so cruel, and there were not a few people left in the whole village, not even the children who couldn't speak.

Yang Wuping was grief-stricken, and he carried an axe and searched for Hu Cuigu among the dead in the village.

As a result, under a broken wall, a naked Hu Cuigu was found.

He understood something, and his heart was stinging, dripping with blood.

Yang Wuping took off his clothes and wrapped them around his beloved.

Hu Cuigu threw herself into his arms and wept bitterly.

Yang Wuping hugged her tightly, stroked Hu Cuigu's trembling back, gritted his teeth and said: "Cuigu, don't cry, it's good to live, we can take revenge if we live, Cuigu, let's go to the army together and kill the Japanese devils!" ”

Yang Wuping and Hu Cuigu, as well as several survivors in the village, after burying the bodies of the dead in the village, Yang Wuping took Hu Cuigu on a road of blood and fire......

When they first joined the New Fourth Army, although they were commensurate with husband and wife, they quietly agreed that when the Japanese devils were wiped out and the War of Resistance was won, they would get married again and go back to their hometown to live the life they should live.

At those times, although they rarely met, every time they met, Yang Wuping looked at her sad appearance, knew what she was thinking, comforted her, let her work hard, don't think about anything, he Yang Wuping is a man, only she is a woman in his life, Hu Cuigu is very warm in her heart, and also encourages Yang Wuping to kill more Japanese devils......

Hu Cuigu sat lonely under the tree, her eyes full of tears.

She felt sorry for Yang Wuping from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't want to see Yang Wuping so crazy and so painful......

Hu Cuihua thought that all this was caused by her, Hu Cuihua thought to herself, no matter what Yang Wuping did to herself, she had no complaints, and she would not leave him! She will be with him in life and with him in death.

Just then, a long wolf howl was heard in the jungle.

Hearing the wolf's howl, Hu Cuigu panicked all of a sudden.

She wants to go back to the cave, no matter how Yang Wuping beats her and abuses her, she has to go back to the cave, only by Yang Wuping's side, she has a sense of security.

She stood up and ran desperately in the direction of the cave, deep and shallow, and the thorns cut through the skin of her face without feeling any pain.

The wolf stood in front of her, followed by several wolves.

Because of the proximity, Hu Cuigu saw the green eyes of the wolves in the dark.

Hu Cuigu's heart was full of fear, she thought that she had not died under the gun of the Japanese devil, and if she was bitten by a wolf and cut her throat, what a painful thing it would be! Hu Cuigu is bare-handed, how can she compete with wolves? The wolves tentatively approached Hu Cuigu.

Hu Cuigu stepped back step by step.

Just as the wolf was about to attack her, Hu Cuigu heard a gunshot.

Five shots in a row, five wolves fell in front of Hu Cuigu.

Hu Cuigu found that there was another wolf, and instead of running away, it howled at Hu Cuigu and pounced angrily.

It was too late, it was too late, and a dark shadow stood in front of Hu Cuigu.

The shadow and the wolf pounced.

Hu Cuigu knew that the black shadow was Yang Wuping, and she could smell the smell on his body, just as Yang Wuping could also smell the smell on Hu Cuigu's body.

Hu Cuigu knew that Yang Wuping had finished firing the five bullets in the gun, and before he had time to load the bullets, the wolf pounced on her, so Yang Wuping had no choice but to pounce and start hand-to-hand combat with the wolf.

Hu Cuihua stood there screaming, she didn't know who killed Yang Wuping and the wolf? It's a life-and-death fight.

Hu Cuigu stood there, unable to help at all, she could only scream anxiously! Yang Wuping hugged the wolf and rolled around on the ground in the grass.

Yang Wuping shouted: "Devil of dog days, Lao Tzu strangled you!" ”

The wolf let out a terrible whimper.

Yang Wuping treats the wolf as a Japanese devil!

Finally, Yang Wuping stood up.

The wolf lay on the ground, silent.

Yang Wuping gasped, found the Type 38 rifle from the ground, walked to Hu Cuigu, who was trembling with fear, hugged her with one hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Cuigu, let's go back!" I won't let the Japs bully you again! ”

Hu Cuigu's heart was suddenly filled with warm touch, and she snuggled up to Yang Wuping, as if she had returned to the good old days.

Although Hu Cuigu knew that Yang Wuping's seemingly normal time would not last long, he would make a sound that he couldn't understand even if he was a ghost, and then abuse her madly.

But Hu Cuigu doesn't care, even if Yang Wuping hugs her like this for a second from now on, she is satisfied and dies without regrets.

Yang Wuping took Hu Cuigu back to the cave.

He asked Hu Cuigu to sit by the fire and said, "Cuigu, I'll go out for a while, don't be afraid here, wait for me to come back." ”

Hu Cuigu didn't know where he was going, so she had to sit by the fire and wait quietly for him to come back.

Yang Wuping jumped out of the cave like a cheetah and disappeared into the dark jungle.

After a while, Yang Wuping came back, carrying it on his shoulders and holding it in both hands, and brought all the wolves he killed back to the cave.

Yang Wuping put the bloodstained dead wolves beside the fire, bared his teeth at Hu Cuigu and smiled, then picked up a bayonet and began to skin the wolf.

When Yang Wuping skinned the wolf, he said something like this: "The devil of the dog day, Lao Tzu skinned you and ate your flesh, and he didn't understand the hatred in Lao Tzu's heart!" ”

Yang Wuping's fierce appearance made Hu Cuigu's heart tremble.

After Yang Wuping finished skinning the wolf, he put the wolf meat in the fire and roasted it......

Yang Wuping gave the roasted wolf meat to Hu Cuigu to eat, she was also hungry, and she couldn't care so much, so she ate it in a big gulp.

Looking at Hu Cuigu's gobbling up, Yang Wuping grinned.

Being able to make Yang Wuping smile is not a rare thing in the years of plum blossom tip.

Hu Cuigu's heart was very warm, she thought that Yang Wuping had returned to normal and regained their love.

That night, Yang Wuping was lying in the cave with her, and Hu Cuigu was so excited that she stretched out her hand and tentatively touched Yang Wuping's sturdy chest full of scars.

Yang Wuping closed his eyes and let Hu Cuigu's hand swim in his chest.

Hu Cuigu heard Yang Wuping's heavy gasp.

Her heart fluttered, and a fire burned all over her.

Hu Cuigu suddenly turned over and pressed on Yang Wuping's body, and said in a trembling voice: "Wuping, you want me!" Wu Ping, I'll give you a baby-"

Yang Wuping's chest rose and fell, and his breath became thicker and thicker.

Hu Cuigu put her mouth close to Yang Wuping's mouth, and continued to tremble: "Wuping, you want me, Wuping, I am your person in life, and your ghost in death-"

Yang Wuping suddenly roared and knocked Hu Cuigu to the ground.

He stood up angrily and said loudly: "There is no victory in the War of Resistance, and the devil has not been killed, I want you to be a fart!" ”

Hu Cuigu muttered: "Wu Ping, the War of Resistance has been won, Wu Ping." It's time for us to go down the mountain and live our lives—"

Yang Wuping's face twisted, and he roared: "You know a fart, there was no victory in the War of Resistance, the devils are still at the bottom of the mountain, ready to attack the top of the mountain at any time, and the devils who sneaked in the mountains and forests have not been killed, how can I be a deserter and leave the plum blossom tip!" I want to defend the tip of the plum blossom, my people are in the position, I can't go, I can't go! You're going to go, you're going, get out, get out—"

Hu Cuigu stopped talking, didn't dare to say anything more, she wouldn't leave him, no! Yang Wuping was like a trapped beast, shouting in the cave, kicking things indiscriminately, and stabbing wolf skin with a bayonet.

Hu Cuigu's tears flowed again.

Her heart was extremely painful, and every time Yang Wuping stabbed a wolf skin, it was like a stab in her heart, and Hu Cuigu's heart was bleeding.

She regretted it greatly.

I regret what I just did.

Regretting that she had angered Yang Wuping, how she wished that he could sleep quietly and forget all the things that made him sad, sad and angry, which would be good for his body.

Hu Cuigu fantasized more than once that Yang Wuping could come to his senses and be as sober as when he first joined the army.

In fact, Hu Cuigu has quietly gone down the mountain many times, and she knows that the War of Resistance has been won.

She told Yang Wuping that Yang Wuping didn't believe it.

He also has to hold his position at the tip of the plum blossom and hunt devils in the jungle! Hu Cuigu didn't dare to go down the mountain to find someone, didn't dare to tell anyone, Yang Wuping and her were still on the tip of the plum blossom locked in the fog, she knew that Yang Wuping was not a normal person, let him be hurt, it was better to let him live like this, he might feel better in his heart.

And just like that, decades have passed.

In the end, Hu Cuigu cried and blinded because she was often abused by Yang Wuping and her own self-blame.

Finally one day, Yang Wuping was completely crazy, he didn't kill Hu Cuigu, but drove her off the tip of the plum blossom who was crying and blind.

51

Hu Cuigu heard the sound of the gong again.

She followed the voice.

Hu Cuigu followed them in the jungle, but they couldn't see her.

Two villagers played a gong in front of them.

Zhang Datou followed behind with Zhang Xiuxiu on his back, followed by Zhong Fei and Zhu Future, who were carried on stretchers, and at the end were two villagers carrying stretchers, they were carrying Yang Wuping's corpse, his body was curled up, and his hands were still tightly holding the polished Type 38 rifle.

Hu Cuigu couldn't see them carrying Yang Wuping's body, but she could feel that she could smell his scent, and the smell became even stronger after his death.

Hu Cuigu didn't know if Yang Wuping, who was lying on the stretcher now, could smell herself.

She followed them all the way through the jungle.

Hu Cuigu felt that she was getting colder and colder.

She was trembling, and she suspected that she would fall down as she walked, turning into a lump of ice.

In front of her eyes, Yang Wuping took aim at the Japanese devil with a Type 38 rifle......

Zhang Xiuxiu has a sense of happiness on her father's back.

When she was a child, her father did not carry her like this, only her brother.

It is not surprising that Zhang Datou has patriarchal thoughts, but how much Zhang Xiuxiu hopes that her father can carry her like her brother once, and now, Zhang Xiuxiu's wish has come true.

In a huge sense of happiness, Zhang Xiuxiu suddenly thought of her blind mother-in-law.

Where is she now? Zhang Xiuxiu's heart twitched, and she was inexplicably worried about her blind mother-in-law.

She asked her father, "Dad, did you say that the blind mother-in-law went back to the village?" Will there be something going on with her? Why didn't she hear your shouts and gongs? ”

Zhang Datou's mood has always been very heavy, if it weren't for these three college students, I don't know when this secret hidden in the tip of the plum blossom would be revealed.

He said to his daughter, "Child, don't worry, she will be fine, don't worry." ”

A gust of wind blew through the misty jungle, and there was a loud noise in the jungle.

The sound seemed to contain the sound of fierce gunfire and shouts of killing......

There was also a woman's mournful cry.

The fog was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, like gunsmoke, filled with the strong and pungent smell of gunsmoke.

They all stopped and stood there in amazement, as did the two gong-playing men in front of them.

After more than ten minutes, the mountain forest of Meihuajian was quiet again, and the dense fog that shrouded the Meihuajian mountain forest seemed to be slowly dissipating.

Zhang Datou said loudly with a cold expression: "Beat the gong!" Let's go—"

The two villagers in front of them struck the gong again, and the sound of the gong echoed in the mountain forest.

……

Many people gathered on the other side of the chain bridge, they were all the elderly, women and children of the village, and they were anxiously waiting for the return of their relatives here under the leadership of the seventh sister-in-law.

Shen Yuyu was also in the crowd, and she stood with her seventh sister-in-law.

Shen Yuyu's heart was also very anxious.

She didn't know if Zhang Datou would be able to get them back, and if they couldn't get them back, what kind of consequences would it be? Shen Yuyu didn't dare to imagine, she believed that after experiencing this incident, she would become strong in the days to come, but now, her heart was still immersed in a kind of fear.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

The sound of gongs was heard in the mountain forest at the tip of the plum blossoms, and the crowd waiting on the side of the chain bridge was in an uproar.

The seventh sister-in-law walked across the chain bridge and looked over there into the foggy mountains and forests, and Shen Yuyu also followed her.

Everyone else was still on the side of the chain bridge, looking back.

The sound of the gong brought them hope, but before Zhang Datou and them did not appear, everyone was still worried, including the seventh sister-in-law and Shen Yuyu.

This is a very worrying moment.

Zhang Datou and the others finally walked out of the fog and first appeared in the eyes of the seventh sister-in-law and Shen Yuyu.

The seventh sister-in-law and Shen Yuyu saw Zhang Xiuxiu on Zhang Datou's back, and the seventh sister-in-law was so excited that she burst into tears, couldn't say anything, and stood there motionless.

Shen Yuyu was very excited, but she was still very worried about Zhong Fei and Zhu Future, especially Zhu Future, Shen Yuyu had a special concern for him.

When she saw Zhong Fei and Zhu Future on the stretcher behind her, tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhang Xiuxiu also saw the seventh sister-in-law and Shen Yuyu, and she shouted loudly: "Mom-Yuyu-"

Shen Yuyu ran over and pulled Zhang Xiuxiu's hand.

She found that Zhang Datou's face was solemn, there was no expression of joy at all, and the huge head looked unusually heavy.

Shen Yuyu walked to Zhu Future's stretcher, the weak Zhu Future squeezed out a difficult smile at her, Shen Yuyu's eyes were burned by the scar on his face, and she called softly: "Future-"

Then, she took Zhu Future's hand.

Zhu Future said: "Yuyu, I'm so happy to see you-"

Shen Yuyu nodded: "I'm also very happy-"

Zhu Future said: "Yuyu, Zhong Fei is behind, you go and see him-"

Shen Yuyu came to Zhong Fei's stretcher, and saw Zhong Fei, who was still in a coma, Zhong Fei was unrecognizable, which made Shen Yuyu's heart tremble.

The villagers greeted them across the chain bridge.

As they were about to return to the village, Zhang Xiuxiu asked her mother, "Have you seen your blind mother-in-law?" ”

The seventh sister-in-law said, "We've been waiting here for a long time, and we haven't seen her, maybe she's staying in the house." ”

Zhang Xiuxiu said, "No, she's not in the house—"

The seventh sister-in-law was inexplicable.

Zhang Datou said: "Thanks to the blind mother-in-law this time, if it weren't for her, Xiuxiu and those two college students might not have been able to save their lives!" Do you know, the blind mother-in-law may be his own mother Hu Cuigu with long hair! ”

The seventh sister-in-law opened her mouth wide: "Ah-"

At this time, Zhang Xiuxiu turned her head, glanced behind the chain bridge, and said in surprise: "Why are they gone?" ”

Zhang Datou also turned around and found that the two people carrying Yang Wuping's body were gone.

He immediately anxiously asked Zhang Hongliang, who was standing next to him: "Hongliang, what's the matter, why are they gone." ”

Zhang Hongliang's face was full of suspicion: "What's the matter, when I crossed the last mountain pass, I still looked back and saw them, how can I say that I will disappear if I don't see them?" ”

Zhang Datou said: "Hurry up and take a few people back to have a look!" If something goes wrong, none of us can be held responsible! ”

Zhang Hongliang and a few men were about to cross the chain bridge when they saw two people behind them carrying Yang Wuping's body slowly appear in their eyes.

There was one more person among them.

Zhang Xiuxiu shouted: "Grandma-"

The extra person is the blind mother-in-law.

She was on crutches in one hand and a stretcher in the other, and she looked sad and walked with the two people who carried the stretcher.

When she reached the edge of the chain bridge, the blind mother-in-law stopped.

The two men carried Yang Wuping's body across the bridge.

People are standing on this side of the bridge, looking at the blind mother-in-law on the other side of the bridge.

Hu Cuigu's heart was already immersed in the ice cave at this time.

The past that kept her head up for the rest of her life came to her mind: five months after she and Yang Wuping joined the New Fourth Army, she found that her body had changed, and before that, because she didn't notice anything wrong with her body as the troops moved.

Five months later, she found her belly bulging day by day.

She couldn't believe that this was true, but she was afraid that after the army knew about it, she asked her to leave the army, so she never told anyone, and it happened that several female nurses in the army clinic had schistosomiasis, and her stomach was bulging, and everyone thought she also had this disease, so they didn't care, and gave her medicine.

Hu Cuigu knew what was going on, every day after everyone went to sleep, she hid alone in a place where there was no one, jumping desperately, beating her stomach, trying to drain the child she was pregnant with.

But no matter what she did, the child was strong in her belly.

It was only eight months after she was pregnant that everyone found out about it.

At that time, the troops had a fierce battle with the Japanese devils, many people were injured, and the troops were also scattered, so Hu Cuigu followed the scattered team led by Jiang Feng, where Yang Wuping was, and transferred to the Phoenix Mountains.

Jiang Feng once persuaded her to stay in that fellow countryman's house and give birth to the child, and then she had to follow the army alive or dead, because although she was pregnant with a child, she was still very energetic when she walked, and she didn't seem to be struggling at all, plus Yang Wuping was seriously injured at that time and had been unconscious, she herself proposed to take care of Yang Wuping, and Jiang Feng asked her to follow this badly injured team to Phoenix Village.

Everyone in the army thought that the child in her womb was her and Yang Wuping's child, and she had a hard time speaking and did not defend anything.

After Yang Wuping woke up from the coma, he knew that Hu Cuigu's belly was so big, so he didn't say anything, but his face was gloomy, holding the Type 38 rifle, and he ignored Hu Cuigu.

Because of this matter, Jiang Feng also criticized him.

Hu Cuihua had already made up her mind that this child would kill him after he was born, and she couldn't let him live in this world, otherwise there would be no peace between her and Yang Wuping.

However, after she gave birth to the child, she failed to kill him, but let him live.

In the plum blossom tip jungle, Yang Wuping stayed together but couldn't get close to him, maybe it was all because of this child.

When Yang Wuping was occasionally sober, he would yell at her: "Why don't you kill that evil seed, why?" Why ......"

She was speechless.

How many times, she sneaked into Phoenix Village with a bayonet and wanted to kill the child, but when she saw that the child was growing up in a poor life like a child in Phoenix Village, she was crushed by his innocent eyes, and she couldn't do it.

She had never told anyone that the long hair that grew up in Phoenix Village was the seed left on her by the Japanese devils who had ravaged her like beasts; Yang Wuping didn't talk about it to anyone, including Jiang Feng, he couldn't say it, but he let himself spend a long and miserable life in hatred and anger.

Now that they were all dead, the secret would be buried forever in the dust of time, Hu Cuigu stood by the chain bridge, and she heard the roaring sound of water coming from the canyon under the chain bridge.

Hu Cuigu suddenly hummed a song: "...... Thousands of struggles, wind, snow, hunger and cold; Thousands of miles to fight, poor mountains camping. Gain rich experience in the war and exercise the spirit of hard sacrifice......"

Hu Cuigu hummed and jumped down the canyon.

In the difficult years of Meihuajian, Hu Cuigu also thought about death, but Yang Wuping held her heart, she couldn't leave him.

Now, everything is gone, the smoke is gone, it's time for her to go, life has no meaning to her.

The people standing on the other side of the chain bridge were stunned, and they watched Hu Cuigu's old and withered body fall into the deep canyon under the bright sunshine, and a wisp of wandering spirit floated to the tip of the plum blossom......

The rosy sunset at the end stretched out a hand to grab something, but he didn't catch anything.

He woke up leisurely and saw sincere faces.

There are people standing next to his bed, including Shen Yuyu, Zhu Future, Zhang Xiuxiu, Zhang Datou, and Zhang Hongliang......

Zhang Beifeng, who was sitting at the head of the bed, took his fingers away from Zhong Fei's wrist pulse, looked at Zhong Fei who woke up, and exhaled a long breath and said, "He's fine, it's just that his body is relatively weak, and he will be fine for a few days." ”

After speaking, Zhang Beifeng stood up, squeezed out of the crowd, and walked towards the door.

When he walked to the door, he turned around and said, "Datou Village Chief, you have to boil the herbs I prescribed on time for this college student to drink——"

Zhang Datou laughed and said, "Beifeng, don't worry, I will do what you say!" Thank you, North Wind. ”

Zhang Beifeng smiled and said, "Don't be polite, serve the people!" ”

His words made everyone laugh.

Zhang Datou sighed and said: "I didn't expect Zhang Beifeng's medical skills to be so good, and I don't think the doctors in the city hospital are as good as him!" ”

Someone echoed Zhang Datou's words: "Yes, Zhang Beifeng's medical skills are so good, even the doctors in the big Shanghai hospital can't compare to him!" If it were in a big city, our Zhang Beifeng might be a professor! ”

Everyone laughed again.

Zhong Fei was warmed by everyone's laughter, and his eyes were moist.

His heart was full of gratitude to these simple mountain people.

Zhong Fei's eyes searched for someone in the crowd, how he wished he could see that sunny face, but he didn't find it in the crowd.

Zhong Fei's heart was a little lost, before he woke up, as if in a dream, someone was singing to him, and he couldn't remember what song he was singing.

All he could remember was that sunny face, with a friendly smile.

Zhong Fei felt his body turn into a fallen leaf in the darkness and slipped towards an abyss.

There was a terrible cry and the chirping of bats in the darkness, and Zhong Fei stretched out his hand desperately in the process of slipping, he tried to grasp a life-saving straw, but he couldn't grasp anything.

Just when he felt like he was about to disappear into the dark abyss, that face was like a ray of sunshine illuminating his life.

Zhong Fei heard the singing, and the rich and magnetic singing guided him to a sunny meadow, and then the singing disappeared......

Zhong Fei remembered his appearance, he wore a gray cloth military hat, a gray cloth military uniform, a cow belt around his waist, leggings, and a pair of very old cloth shoes; There was a compelling heroic air between his eyebrows, and his sunny face was hearty and kind......

Zhong Fei said: "Do you see a person wearing a gray cloth hat and gray cloth clothes? ”

Zhang Datou said to him: "Who will wear a gray cloth hat now, where do you see such a person?" ”

Zhong Fei stopped talking.

At this time, only Shen Yuyu knew who the person Zhong Fei was talking about, thinking of that person, Shen Yuyu's heart was full of yearning, she stretched out her hand and touched Zhu Future's hand standing beside her, Zhu Future hesitated, and pulled her hand tightly.

Two blushes flew on Shen Yuyu's face.

At this time, Zhang Xiuxiu walked in with a bowl of stewed chicken with mushrooms that exuded a rich fragrance.

Zhang Xiuxiu came to Zhong Fei's bedside and said with a smile: "Brother Zhong Fei, you finally woke up, my mother has already stewed the chicken, get up and eat some quickly." ”

Zhong Fei's heart was filled with a warm tide, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

Shen Yuyu had never seen Zhong Fei shed tears, he had always been a tough guy in her mind, and she didn't expect him to shed tears.

Shen Yuyu's eyes were also moist, this scene couldn't help but be moving, she suddenly thought of the female classmate named Song Li, if she was there, would she be moved? She didn't know, because at this time, Song Li was very far away from her, as if she was a person in two worlds.

Zhang Datou said to everyone: "Let's go out, let's go out, you guys are watching here, Zhong University students will be embarrassed to eat chicken, let's go out-"

Phoenix Village was suddenly bustling, and many people came at once.

Because the anti-Japanese heroes were found here, many little-known secrets were discovered.

From the province to the city to the county, people from various relevant departments, as well as people from the news media......

Phoenix Village has never been so lively, like the Chinese New Year.

The village chief Zhang Datou didn't like this kind of excitement, he was afraid that someone would come to develop it, he would rather the plum blossom tip be mysterious forever, rather than the outside people come in and cut down the plum blossom tip jungle.

For this reason, Zhang Datou arrested Zhang Hongliang in a remote place and scolded him severely, because he reported the matter to the town, and the people in the town reported it to the county.

……

If someone asks Zhong Fei why you want to go to Phoenix Mountain, Zhong Fei really can't find any reason, but he will say to you: "That's a kind of summoning in the underworld!" ”

It's dusk.

Zhong Fei, Shen Yuyu and Zhu Future stood under the old tree at the entrance of the village, looking at the peak of the plum blossom peak.

Tomorrow they will leave the lively Phoenix Village and go back to Shanghai.

This experience of life and death is very important for them throughout their lives.

Suddenly, they saw the pinnacle of the plum blossom tip.

In that rosy sunset, the plum blossom spire was clearly presented in front of them, and the fog had lifted, and they seemed to see a person, the one with a sunny smile, waving to them.

Zhong Fei suddenly asked Zhu in the future: "If there is any more war that requires us to pay for our lives, what will happen to you?" ”

This is a simple and profound question.

Shen Yuyu said: "I am willing to pay!" ”

Zhu Future said: "I am also willing!" ”

……

Yang Wuping's body was buried at the top of the plum blossom tip, along with his Type 38 rifle.

It is said that the government will also build a monument there.

Hu Cuigu's body has never been found, but her name is engraved on the same tombstone as Yang Wuping......
