Born and died, he was brave and witty and brave to capture demons.
The flame of hope is sown in Yuechi County,

Legend has it that she was a fifty-year-old woman,
Thousands of pounds of heavy burden on his shoulders, deep into the tiger's den to cut Yan Luo.
The red flag of the revolution is planted in Huaying Mountain,
She is a heroine, an old woman with two guns.
On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, Zou Liangshi deliberately chose the day, and today is suitable for travel, and it is time to "drive his youngest son out of the house". Today, a lot of flowers in Taoyuan have been lost, the house is a little cold, the women are silently crying, and everyone is making a final goodbye.
Although the young couple was very reluctant, they finally stepped out of the house. Before leaving, Zou Liangshi gave Zou Wenfang a letter and asked him to unravel the messages before opening them. Zou Wenfang didn't think much about it, so he collected the letter and followed his daughter-in-law on the road.
The combination of the two with the cutest height difference embarked on a long journey west to Sichuan. Along the way, they are like sisters and brothers in a hurry, no one thinks they are husband and wife at all, and they don't look like husband and wife at all.
People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, Chen Shilian has also changed her previous gentle image, and her pretty face has directly become cold as frost, and people should not enter. Everywhere she goes, she is extra careful, she also has an extra heart when she is at home, and when she eats, she repeatedly uses silver needles to try, and she doesn't dare to sleep too well at night.
As for Zou Wenfang, everywhere he went, he felt pure freshness, fresh people, new things, and new things, everything aroused his interest. Since he went out, he found that Chen Shilian had changed, her cold appearance during the day, and he couldn't wait to freeze to death to see her. In the evening, although he returned to normal, he did not let Zou Wenfang move his hands and feet. No matter how soft and hard Zou Wenfang was, she just didn't let go, so Zou Wenfang thought that her one was here.
Later, Zou Wenfang found out that it was not like that. It is Chen Shilian who is always vigilant against danger, after all, when she is out of the house, she must be even more cautious in this troubled world of endless wars. Once again, he felt that he was really useless, and asked his daughter-in-law to protect him. For the first time, he had a strong desire to learn the art of strengthening his body, and he wanted to grow up quickly, preferably taller and stronger than his father, so that he could protect his daughter-in-law well.
When Chen Shilian and Zou Wenfang set off to return to Sichuan, Chen Shilian's master in Sichuan also got the news of Chen Shilian who was returned by the people who went back.
In Huaying Mountain, Yuechi County, Sichuan, a woman in her thirties is discussing the next tasks with several guerrilla members.
This woman is Chen Shilian's master Deng Huizhong, although her superiors did not forcibly order when to arrive, but she still wanted to finish it as soon as possible. She looked at these people here, they were all athletic, but they didn't know martial arts, and their minds were not so flexible, so they couldn't take on this task at all. Her beloved apprentice Chen Shilian went to fulfill her mother's last wish again.
Deng Huizhong had no choice but to say helplessly: "This time the organization requires us to escort a group of party members and students north to Yan'an, this journey is too far, I don't worry about any of you leading the team, Shilian is still on the way back." I really had no choice but to go myself. After I left, the guerrillas were promoted from deputy captain Liao to captain, Chen Shilian to deputy captain, and the two of them took command on their behalf, and everyone had to listen to their arrangements. ”
Vice Captain Liao obviously knew the arduousness of this task, although the road was long, but there was no danger. Although it was already a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, their guerrillas still had to be cautious and vigilant here in Huaying Mountain. The task of escorting is small, but the preservation and development of guerrillas is a big matter. Of course, he didn't agree with the captain to take over the task, so he said: "Captain, in fact, you can wait a few more days, Comrade Shilian is also coming back soon, and it is most appropriate for her to complete the task." You are still in charge of our Huaying Mountain. ”
Deng Huizhong obviously saw through his idea, and he didn't break it, this idea is "indispensable to guard against people", so he said: "Then wait for two more days, after two days, Shilian can return to the guerrillas, I will send her, if I don't come back, I have to go by myself." ”
Seeing that the vice captain still wanted to persuade her, she said directly: "Okay, don't say it again, this matter is settled." ”
The partisans didn't have any opinions, they all listened to the captain. The captain is beautiful, intelligent and capable, and although his temper is sometimes a little worse, everyone is happy to listen to her.
Deng Huizhong was the kind person who took in the teenage girl Chen Shilian back then, and she was only 30 years old at that time. Chen Shilian's parents were persecuted to death, and it was she who helped to avenge her. When she saw Chen Shilian, she felt that the two were destined, and after taking her in, she found out that this was a little girl who knew martial arts, Deng Huizhong was even more happy, and directly accepted her as an apprentice.
Deng Huizhong was originally a student at Southeast University, and then studied under Hong Wenguo, and got the true kung fu of Hong Wenguo, an old woman with two guns. She founded the Huayingshan Guerrilla Force in Huayingshan, Sichuan, and participated in revolutionary struggles such as "anti-grain and anti-ding". With two guns, he killed many scum who killed his compatriots in the local area, and killed the traitor Fu Zhigao, making a great contribution to the development and growth of the guerrillas.
Except for Chen Shilian, no one knows her true identity, and the locals only know that there is an old woman with two guns, punishing adultery and eliminating evil and eliminating harm for the people, and is called "old woman with two guns".
Before the start of the Anti-Japanese War, there was already an "old woman with two guns" in the north, and that person was Deng Huizhong's master Hong Wenguo. Hong Wenguo's husband's surname is Zhao, and he is also known as Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Hongwenguo.
Born in 1988, Mrs. Zhao witnessed Japan's invasion of the three eastern provinces at the age of 14 and experienced the Russo-Japanese War at the age of 23.
After the "918" incident in 1931, all the Zhao family members participated in the anti-Japanese volunteers. After repeated setbacks, she persisted in the War of Resistance, and also participated in the organization and creation of the "Young Iron Army", vowing to fight the invaders to the end. Hong Wenguo also has two guns in hand, and there is no ambiguity in the war.
Deng Huizhong wanted to support his master's anti-Japanese war many times, but he lacked skills. The encirclement and suppression of the previous years had limited the development of the Huayingshan guerrillas, and she needed to stay and protect this homeland. Now that her apprentice Chen Shilian has grown up and can take charge of herself, she also wants to leave the burden on her. She really wanted to go to the front line and fight side by side with Master.
Every time in the dead of night, she would think that the master, who was nearly fifty years old, would still have to fight against the Japanese invaders, and she couldn't help but cry. I can't wait to put on my wings and fly to Master's side to help her.
Now that she has the opportunity, she wants to take advantage of this escort mission to the north to rush to Beiping to meet her master. And the guerrillas can also be handed over to Shilian or Deputy Captain Liao as a matter of course.
was still looking forward to his apprentice going to the morning meeting early, but now Deng Huizhong doesn't want to see her so soon. If it was the little girl who just followed him a few years ago, Deng Huizhong would never have been able to bear to leave, but now this apprentice of hers is better than the blue. In recent years, Chen Shilian has taken over the mantle of the master and put on the old lady's silver hair headdress, and she has done many things to punish rape and eliminate evil, and Deng Huizhong has not done it himself for a long time.
For Chen Shilian's apprentice, Deng Huizhong is very satisfied, he is smart and capable, he learns everything quickly, and the key is that he is the daughter of a scholarly family and is educated. Now she has gained more knowledge in the guerrilla unit and has combat experience, and she is fully qualified to take on the post of deputy leader or even captain of the guerrilla unit.
She decided that she would not wait until the third day, and she would go north to complete the task before Chen Shilian returned. Deng Huizhong left a letter for Chen Shilian and set off directly.
