When will it 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, 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-"

Verse 71: Chapter 10 Sacrifice of life

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 have been waiting here for a long time, and we haven't seen her, maybe she is 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 Cui Gu 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 could I say that I would disappear if I didn'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.

Verse 72: Chapter 10 Sacrifice of life

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 war experience 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, "You're welcome, 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, 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.

Verse 73: Chapter 10 Sacrifice

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 lively, 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 a tombstone with Yang Wuping...... [End] Postscript: Writing "Trick Gun" in the Garden 1 My current mood is actually not suitable for writing the postscript of "Trick Gun", depressed, lonely...... Looking up, there is no road ahead. I think there are a few people who live in the present world who are not like this. Still, I have something to say, some thoughts about Homecoming, about "Trick Gun". 2Why did I write "Trick Gun"? ___In the nineties of the last century, I basically spent time in a certain unit of the Eastern Guangdong Air Force. At that time, he often traveled back and forth between Shantou and Xingning. From the open Chaoshan Plain to the Hakka Mountains in the Meizhou region, you have to pass through a place called the barracks, which no longer has troops stationed, it is just a village of dozens of families in the mountains. But this place once stationed a regiment of the 19th Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War, holding this fortress and not allowing the Japanese army to enter the hinterland of the Hakka people in the mountainous areas of eastern Guangdong. Every time I pass by the barracks, as a soldier, my heart will not be at peace, the sound of gunfire will ring in my ears, and the smell of gunpowder will be in my nose. A lot of legends about heroes are tormenting my heart. For many years, I have not forgotten the barracks. Every time I think of the mountains there, just
