On the morning of August 1, 1944, the day after Jiang Feng led his troops, a dense burst of gunfire came from the peak of the plum blossom spire of Phoenix Mountain. It was on this day that Hu Cuigu gave birth to a baby boy, and this baby boy was later Zhang Changfa. When Zhang Changfa was born, the midwife hugged the crying baby in front of Hu Cuigu and said happily: "Comrade Hu, congratulations, you are a boy!" The midwife didn't expect that Hu Cuigu had tears in her eyes and her face was full of murder, she suddenly snatched the child from the midwife's hand, raised it above her head, and was about to smash it on the ground. If it weren't for the midwife's quick eyes and quick hands to snatch the child over, maybe Zhang Changfa would have died at that time, and there would be no waiting for him to wait through the autumn water for a long time. Yang Wuping stood in Zhang Wenhui's courtyard, listening to the heart-wrenching sound of guns and cannons on the mountain, his teeth rattling, his hand holding the rifle tightly, and the flames of anger and hatred burning in his eyes. When the baby's cry reached his ears along with the sound of the gun, he went crazy and slammed his fist against the wall, shattering it and making it a blur of flesh. Yang Wuping roared: "Just strangle this evil seed to death!" Keep him for what! He wanted to rush into the room, but was stopped by Zhang Wenhui, in Zhang Wenhui's eyes, they did this to better kill the Japanese devils, because the child became a burden to them.

A few days later, the gunfire on the mountain continued, and Yang Wuping and his wife entrusted the child to Zhang Wenhui and his wife, and then went to the plum blossom tip together......

Zhang Datou spoke in detail, as if those things were something he had personally experienced. Zhang Xiuxiu was stunned. At this time, Zhang Changfa was lying on the door panel, and the white linen cloth covered his whole body. Zhang Xiuxiu looked at the white linen cloth on Zhang Changfa's corpse, and a sense of vicissitudes flooded her mind. At this moment, Zhang Xiuxiu heard a long sigh, a gust of wind blew, it was a little cold, and the mourning hall was filled with a strange atmosphere in an instant. She looked at the white linen cloth that covered Zhang's long hair and moved. Zhang Datou also saw it, and he said to Zhang Xiuxiu: "Don't be afraid, it's the wind blowing, your godfather is a good person, he has done so many good things for the people of Phoenix Village in his life, he won't scare you after death, you must know that he loves you the most!" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu nodded.

But at this moment, she saw Zhang Changfa's corpse sitting up straight and opening her eyes. Although Zhang Xiuxiu was very close to Zhang Chang before the incident, but now seeing this scene, she still screamed, and quickly stood up, trembling all over, her eyes radiating a frightened light.

Zhang Datou also stood up.

He asked Zhang Xiuxiu to hide behind him, and said to his daughter repeatedly: "Xiuxiu, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your godfather is reluctant, and he won't be blind!" ”

Zhang Changfa sat there, his eyes looking straight ahead, and in front of him was the gate of his house. Zhang's long-haired face was brown, as if it had a waxy sheen. There seemed to be a little spark in his pupils. He opened his mouth slightly, trying to say something but saying nothing.

Zhang Datou said in a sad voice: "Brother, you go in peace, what are you thinking in your heart, my brother understands in my heart, I will do your unfinished business for you!" ”

Zhang Changfa seemed to hear Zhang Datou's emotional words, exhaled his last breath in his mouth, and fell on his back with a "bang". Zhang Datou approached, and saw that Zhang Changfa's eyes were still open, so he stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes, and his eyes were closed forever.

Zhang Datou saw a cloudy tear squeeze out of the corner of his eye.

Zhang Xiuxiu also saw the tears in the corners of Zhang Changfa's eyes, and at this time, Zhang Xiuxiu choked up.

A cold voice came from outside the gate: "Zhang Datou, you and Zhang Changfa are like brothers, have you noticed that there is a cinnabar birthmark on his waist!" ”

Zhang Datou looked out of the door, and the blind mother-in-law stood outside the door with a cane and a ghost.

Zhang Xiuxiu saw her blind mother-in-law and felt some kind of supernatural color, how long has she been standing at the gate? Zhang Xiuxiu knew nothing like her father. Zhang Xiuxiu shuddered.

Zhang Datou also felt that the blind mother-in-law was very weird, and couldn't help asking, "How do you know?" ”

The blind mother-in-law didn't say anything more, and slowly left step by step with a cane.

After the blind mother-in-law left, the cry of an owl came from outside the gate. Zhang Xiuxiu suddenly remembered Shen Yuyu and them, how are they doing now? Zhang Xiuxiu's sad and frightened heart has another layer of worry and concern.
