Chapter 5 The Midnight March

The bearded company commander added some firewood to the bonfire again, and said to the old Liang Tou'er: "Don't be too sad when you are old, we are old, aren't there still these younger generations?" ”。 As he spoke, he pointed at Guo Jiefang.

Guo Jiefang also comforted the old Liang Tou'er and said: "The company commander is right, aren't there still us here?" We will definitely build this vast forest into a vast and rich land of fish and rice······! ”。

The bearded company commander changed his words and said to Guo Jiefang: "Don't look at the old Liang Tou'er's age, but he is a famous sharpshooter ······ us with a radius of 100 miles."

Old Liang Tou'er hurriedly shook his hand and said modestly: "Don't listen to your company commander's nonsense, I'm a blind cat who met a dead mouse······ I can't count it! ”。

The bearded company commander said with a tiger face: "What blind cat met a dead mouse?" Why didn't I run into it? I also pointed to you to bring people, to fight more mountain goods, and even to improve the food, fight tooth sacrifices or something! ”。

Lao Liang was embarrassed: "Hu Leopard, you can embarrass me, no matter how good my marksmanship is, I can't hit many things······ How can we supply Shanglianli to improve the food? ”。

The bearded company commander was a little upset and said, "You old slippery head! I've been thinking about this for a long time······ Lian Li is going to set up a hunting party, which will be led by you······ The wild animals and skins that were caught were sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives except for the supply of Lianli······ You say I didn't hit the right idea? ”。

Lao Liang tou'er smoked the cigarette pouch and pot one by one, pondered for a long time, and suddenly patted his thigh and said, "I think this thing can be done······ It's just that this weapon and ammunition are not easy to solve! ”。

The bearded company commander's eyes were blazing, and he thought for a moment: "I have also pondered about weapons and ammunition······ It's easy to say that this weapon has been achieved in our company, but this ammunition ······ It's a bit of a hassle, and I have to remember how much I played in each training session······ It's really hard to fool around······! If it doesn't work, I'll go directly to the teacher, and I don't believe that he can solve it for me? ”。

Old Liang clapped his hands and said, "Okay!······ That's it······ You have a relationship with the teacher, how can he not give you this face? ”。

The bearded company commander said excitedly: "When I go back, I will pick seven or eight people for you in the company, and you lead them into the mountains to hunt, first, to ensure the safety of the team members, and second, to try to complete the task on time, old Liang Touer, can you do it?" ”。

Lao Liang immediately slapped his chest and promised: "Hu Leopard······ You're good to go! My old Liang boss promises to complete the task! ”。

The bearded company commander stretched out a pair of rough hands, patted the old Liang Tou'er on the shoulder and said, "You old slippery head, whether there is meat in the comrades' rice bowls or not depends on you!" ”。

Old Liang smiled, showed a mouth full of big yellow teeth, and said, "I said leopard, your abacus is clanging······ Even my bad old man has been calculated by you! ”。

The bearded company commander also smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, which turtle son calculated you?" Isn't this a lack of food? I can't do it······! Then, the two talked about the lack of food, and they were both sad!

The night was already deep, and in the distance, there was a low, strange cry of an owl, and the sky in the mountains was terrifying, and the stars were in the far sky, trying to glow with a cold faint light! Guo Jiefang was extremely tired, he wrapped his padded jacket tightly and leaned beside the fire.

In his ears, the words of the bearded company commander came vaguely: "We should have more food next year, otherwise it will be difficult to survive the winter······ There are more than 100 mouths, and only half of the food has been solved in the division, so we can't think of a way to do it ourselves, so we can only wait to be hungry······! ”。

Old Liang said: "Now the whole country is the same, and there is no good way in the division······ I don't think the difficulties in front of me are nothing, although our place is remote and desolate, but there are treasures in the mountains and waters, as the saying goes: "God, you can't die of hunger, you ······ Put your heart back in your stomach! ”。

After a while, I heard the old Liang Tou'er say: "You can't let the dolls sleep on the ground, it's easy to fall ill······ Leopard, I think we'd better rush back overnight······! ”。

The flames smeared bright orange on the faces of the bearded company commander, Lao Liang Tou'er, and Guo Jiefang, and the crackling sound of firewood "beeping" spread far away.

Guo Jiefang's eyelids were heavy, and he thought in a daze: "I'll go to the bearded company commander tomorrow, and it's best to transfer to the hunting team ······!" ”。

In the second half of the night, there was a strong wind, the wind was like a whip, "whooshing" whistling above everyone's heads, the grass and trees swaying, sending out the waves, the roar of the mountains and the sea, the river rushing down from the mountain, has not completely frozen, and the "ding" sound of ice colliding!

In the middle of the night, the educated youths were all "coaxed" and hurried in the dark. There were a few female intellectuals, but they couldn't walk anymore, so the bearded company commander arranged for them to get into the carriage that Lao Liang had rushed in. The rest of the educated youths followed behind the carriage, and moved their bodies forward with difficulty against the oncoming white-haired wind······! ”。

The old Liang Tou'er's horse whip stirred a whip flower in the air, exploding with a crisp sound, and the mouth shouted rhythmically: "Bang······ Boom······ Driving ······ Drive ······! The two big black mules and horses, pursed their ears and trembled as if they were afraid, and pulled the cart suddenly, and the cart "squeaked" towards the vast darkness of ······the night.

The top of the cart was crowded with people, and the male intellectuals followed behind the cart sparsely. Guo Jiefang couldn't find Niu Jianjun everywhere, he saw Li Yuanchao catching up from behind, so he asked him: "Glasses, have you seen the fat man?" ”。

Li Yuanchao shivered from the cold, and stammered, "Haven't you two been together all the time?" Why are you asking me? ”。

Guo Jiefang saw that Li Yuanchao didn't know, so he asked him again, where did Liu Lili go? Li Yuanchao pointed to the big car in front of him and said, "Lao Liu is in the car!" ”。

Guo Jiefang saw from a distance that Liu Lili was sitting on the luggage pile, fighting with several girls in the car. Guo Jiefang glanced at a glance and saw a fat girl with a red headscarf next to Liu Lili, which was strange! It's just that I can't see her face clearly, and I can't guess who it is for a while? Guo Jiefang was frowning and thinking, but the fat girl suddenly turned around and smiled at him······ I couldn't help but be startled, only to see her thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a layer of blue and black beard stubble on top of her two thick lips ······! When Guo Jiefang saw this ugly face, he almost didn't vomit out his dinner.

He saw that no one was paying attention around him, so he pretended to be okay and slowly approached the cart, Guo Jiefang put his hand on the wheel, and accosted the fat girl with a red turban and said, "Hey······ Flower girl, how old are you? ”。

The fat girl didn't answer, she just answered shyly, covered half of her fat face with her hands, and sneered at Guo Jiefang!

Guo Jiefang saw that she didn't care about her stubble, so he changed his face and scolded: "Your uncle, ignore it!" I'm going to shout ······! ”。

The fat girl seemed to be very afraid of Guo Jiefang's shouting, and immediately whispered to Guo Jiefang: "Official······ You're a monkey······ The little woman is in the prime of her life, and she is twenty-eight years old, ······! ”。 Then, the fat girl turned to the side again and whispered in Guo Jiefang's ear: "Lao Guo, you bastard, you take the No. 11 bus by yourself, and you also want to pull Lao Tzu into the water ······?" ”。 After saying this, she sang again with a sharp voice: "Just like a flower waiting for a jade bottle to be inserted, just like a phoenix looking for a phoenix waiting to fly in pairs······!" ”。

Guo Jiefang held back a smile and said, "Dead fatty, do you think that if you wear a headscarf, I won't recognize you?" You must know that the eyes of the people are bright, you have peeled off a layer of skin, and then burned to ashes, and you can't escape my fiery eyes! ”。

Niu Jianjun begged for mercy and said: "Old Guo, I call you Grandpa Guo, just let me go!" Let me tell you, we have no grudges in the past and no enmity in the near future, if you do things absolutely well, I really want to be polite to you! ”。

Guo Jiefang raised his eyebrows and said, "Fatty, do you still dare to scare Lao Tzu now?" You know, now I'm climbing to the top and shouting, and the responders are gathered! If you wait for such a small night, what can I do? ”。

Niu Jianjun saw that Guo Jiefang didn't eat soft and hard, and was afraid that his ugliness would be exposed, so he had to secretly bite his back molars and say, "Old Guo, you kid is bad, we are still not buddies?" Dude, you're still cheating me like this? ”。

Guo Jiefang Zhenzhen said: "We are small, this is right, but one yard is one yard, this matter can be big or small, you just watch it······ it!" ”。

Niu Jianjun saw that Guo Jiefang had something to say, so he asked him: "How is Xiao?" What about big? ”。

Guo Jiefangpi smiled and said, "Xiao······ It's just that I don't say a word, and we are fine. Great······ It is my righteous killing of relatives, pulling off your disguise, exposing your ugly ······! ”。

Niu Jianjun said anxiously: "What kind of ugly behavior do I have······ Need you to expose? You make it clear, otherwise Lao Tzu will not be finished with you! Do you know what kind of sin you are guilty of? You are guilty of slandering the revolutionary masses for no reason······! ”。

Guo Jiefang sneered: "Do you think you can scare me with a big hat?" I ask you, what is your intention in disguised as a woman and mingling with unmarried young women? ”。

Niu Jianjun spread his hands and said, "Isn't this the lice on the bald head--- obviously?" ”。

Guo Jiefang smiled evilly: "Yes, this is an obvious thing, you kid hasn't held back any good fart, that kid in little Shanghai is just climbing the wall of the women's toilet, you kid is good, this is to drill the quilt of the female intellectual······!" ”。

Niu Jianjun's face changed greatly, he didn't expect Guo Jiefang to be more hooligan than himself, so he had to scold him and say: "Guo Jiefang, you turtle bastard, don't talk nonsense······!" ”。

Guo Jiefang looked at the sky and said: "Fatty, you won't have heard of it, right······?" ”。

Niu Jianjun saw that it was not a way to have a hard top with Guo Jiefang, so he immediately put on a smiling face and said to Guo Jiefang: "Old Guo, I still have a packet of toffee in my bag, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will give you all the toffee······ What do you think? ”。

Guo Jiefang said: "I'm not rare with toffee, do you have anything else ······?" ”。

Niu Jianjun held back the anger in his stomach and said flatteringly: "Lao Guo, don't beat around the bush, just say what you want!" ”。

Guo Jiefang said: "I heard that your father gave you a German Zeiss telescope, and you lent it to me for two days, how about it?" ”。

Niu Jianjun hesitated: "This is not easy to do······ This telescope is so valuable, if you break it, I won't have the place to fix it······! ”。

Guo Jiefang saw that Niu Jianjun refused to give in, and couldn't help but threaten: "Niu Fatty, are you unwilling to borrow it?······ You wait, I'll call the bearded company commander and let him see how you look in a turban, are you handsome or not? ”。 After that, he was about to shout, Niu Jianjun hurriedly grabbed Guo Jiefang and said, "Old Guo, what are you doing here?" Isn't it just a telescope? Can't I lend it to you? The bearded company commander is so busy, why are you bothering him when you get old? I think we should stop causing trouble for the organization······! ”。

Guo Jiefang stretched out his hand to Niu Jianjun's eyebrows and said, "You have to have this consciousness earlier, and you still use me to spend so much tongue?" What about telescopes? Where to put it? Take it! ”。

Niu Jianjun had a fat face, looked for his glasses, and said, "This telescope is my father's treasure······ If your kid breaks it, I'm going to play with you ······! ”。

Guo Jiefang urged impatiently: "Okay······ Alright······ Where is all this nonsense······ Shall I just lend you a few days? Look at your stinginess······".

Guo Jiefang took the binoculars, took them in his hand and fiddled with them for a while, then hung them around his neck, made a great man far-sighted, and asked Niu Jianjun: "How is it?" This is at least the equipment of the division and regiment······ Now it's almost a handful of masturbation in the waist! ”。

Niu Jianjun said sarcastically and sourly: "I said Commander Guo, your image doesn't look like a revolutionary soldier!" I'm looking at it like this, and guess what······ I thought you were a ······ to the homecoming group! ”。

Guo Jiefang scolded angrily: "Your uncle's ······ Is there such a leader in your homecoming regiment? ”。

Niu Jianjun saw that Guo Jiefang was angry, and hurriedly said with a smiling face: "Yes······ Yes······ How can there be a homecoming regiment, long like our Commander Guo? I'm sorry, I'm dazzled······ It turns out that you are not from the homecoming group, you are a fat translator······! ”。 Guo Jiefang knew that Niu Jianjun was not angry, and he was not as knowledgeable as him, so he took Zeiss glasses and went to play blindly.

Under the leadership of the bearded company commander, the intellectuals walked all night, and in the morning, they came to a high slope, and the bearded company commander pointed to the open area between the two mountains in the distance, and said to everyone: "Comrades, look at it······ That's where our company headquarters ······! ”。

Guo Jiefang put up a pergola with his hand and looked in the direction of the bearded company leader's finger, only to see that under an obscure morning light, the mountains were undulating, surrounded by vast primeval forests, and a big river, like a jade belt, rushed down from the mountain, and turned a big "several" curve in front of the two mountains.

On the top of the river bay, the terrace washed by the river and the barracks made of rows of logs come into view······ At this time, it was breakfast time, and the curling smoke rose from the inside of the camp, straight into the blue sky! Further up, there is an endless deep sky······ The sky was shining with silver everywhere, and there was a faint blue ······!

Li Yuanchao couldn't help but feel comfortable when he saw the beautiful scenery in front of him, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and sighed to Guo Jiefang: "This scene should only exist in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world?" Lao Guo, look at this big river, how much does it look like a long dragon that is about to take off and fly? It has all the ends, the scales and claws are clear, it is really a miracle of creation, rare in the world! ”。

Guo Jiefang looked carefully according to what he said, and sure enough, he saw the dragon's head hidden in the mountains and disappeared. The four dragon claws are the converging streams, and the dragon's body winds and hides ······ the mountains and dense forests! ”。

Guo Jiefang pointed to the mountains in front of him and asked the bearded company commander, "Company commander, what kind of mountains are in this area?" How can the ups and downs just not be able to see the head wow ······? ”。

The bearded company commander laughed, waved his rough hand and said: "This area is the intersection of the Great Xing'an Mountains and the Little Xing'an Mountains······!" ”。 Then he pointed to one of the highest mountains and said, "Look at that mountain······ Like a tiger pouncing on its food? That's Tiger Ridge, and look at the one on its left······ Like an old turtle playing in the water? We all call it the Old Turtle Peak, and walk a hundred and eighty miles north from the Old Turtle Peak, and you will reach the Sino-Soviet border······! ”。

Guo Jiefang followed the instructions of the bearded company commander and watched them one by one with a telescope, only to see the distant mountains picturesque, like smoke and fog, and the big rivers flowing, endlessly······ Suddenly, there was a sense of desolation in the sky and the earth, and it hit his heart······!
