There are many storms in the sky, and the birds in the forest return to their nests; Only the one who returns to the family is not afraid of the bumpy road; There is a river ahead, no matter how deep it is, it can be crossed; Bend Domo is afraid, and carefully steadfast the rudder.

There is a steep slope ahead, slowly touch it up; Don't be afraid of the deep mountains and dense forests, the most courageous thing is to be bold; Open guns can be hidden, but hidden arrows are the most difficult to prevent; This life is still there, it is a blessing or a curse.

In 1938 (the 27th year of the Republic of China), just after the Lantern Festival, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the wind in early spring was still cold.

At the foot of Aofeng Mountain is Sibao Township, and there are four large villages in the township, one of which is called Shuangquan Village. There are two old wells in the village, the old wells are pure water and sweet in the mouth, nourishing the village for several generations, hence the name of the village. The village is full of people with the surname Zou, and there is no permanent resident population from outside. The people of the village were divided into three families according to the genealogy.

There is a peach orchard in Shuangquan Village, where an old couple lives. The old man Zou Liangshi is different, he likes girls, and he gave birth to three daughters before and loves them very much. Later, when he got a son, the old man ignored this kid. Although he didn't like this stinky boy, he still gave him a good name, and Old Man Zou only wanted his son to study hard, so he intercepted the "Study" from the "Four Treasures of the Study" and named the younger son Zou Study.

Zou Wenfang has loved reading since he was a child, and in Sibao Township, one of the four major engraving and printing bases in China, books have grown up with him. Zou Wenfang's favorite books on the art of military affairs such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Art of War" are, of course, the unknown marching notes found from the bottom of the big box. He also knows that he is very smart, although he has not yet reached the point of "reading through the group of books and not seeking to understand everything", but he can remember it by sight, and he can also imagine the scene in the book in his mind. Without his friends, he spent his childhood with books.

From the outbreak of the "918 Incident" in 1931 to the "77 Incident" in 1937, the entire township of Sibao was also permeated with the atmosphere of the Anti-Japanese War. More than 60 or 70 percent of the people in the township who are engaged in the engraving and printing business have started a brand-new business. Various anti-Japanese war newspapers were printed in dozens of merchants, and newspapers that inspired everyone to resist the war were spread all over the neighborhood. As a famous historical and cultural township, the number of people who went out to participate in the war in Sibao Township was limited, but their battles were behind enemy lines. The Four Forts are also part of the Red Base Area, and Zhu De's team had come to the Four Forts for a while a few years ago to repair them. Many enthusiastic people in Sibao are participating in the war of resistance in their own way, and of course, there are many people who are still living their original lives. Japan's invasion of China has not yet had a great impact on the lives of the people here.

Zou Wenfang is fifteen years old this year, probably because of malnutrition, he is short and thin, only about 1.45 meters. But he still pays attention to the news on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War every day, and he also has the enthusiasm to defend his home and country. But every time he saw his thin body, he was very helpless.

Suddenly, one day, there was an extra person in the family, this is a young woman in her twenties. This woman looked like she was in a hurry, and although her face was a little tired, she couldn't hide her delicate and lovely appearance. glanced at the woman who was white and beautiful, tall and well-proportioned, and Zou Wenfang, who was hiding outside the door, only glanced at it, and never forgot her. He said to himself in his heart: I must marry her as a wife! He secretly listened to the conversation inside, eager to know more about this beautiful sister.

In the living room, Zou Lao looked at the young woman in front of him for a moment's notice, and said unconsciously: "It's too similar, it's too similar." ”

The young woman began to speak, it turned out that her name was Chen Shilian, a native of Yuechi, Sichuan, and she was also born in a scholarly family. Five years ago, her parents were persecuted by local warlords, and her mother told her to find this place before she died, and gave her a jade bracelet. At that time, she was only a fifteen-year-old girl, helpless, but fortunately someone took her in. Later, when she grew up, in order to fulfill her mother's will, she found the place that her mother said, and she also carried a jade bracelet.

Zou Lao listened to this, and the old tears were rampant, she was the most unbearable for girls to endure hardship. He took Chen Shilian's hand, felt the callus on Chen Shilian's palm, knew that she had suffered a lot, and kept comforting: "Child, you have suffered, and when you arrive, it will be your own home." The old man also made a mistake, it was obviously a snatching hand, but he didn't expect this delicate girl to play with guns. Old man Zou was completely blinded by emotion.

Chen Shilian was used to being helpless after her parents had died for so many years, but now when she heard the old man say this with tears streaming down her face, her eyes instantly filled with tears. After so many years of suffering, I couldn't take it all at once, and I cried directly.

Mother Zou came out at this time and comforted the daughter of the old man's old lover, that is, the daughter of her rival. But everyone is dead, what is there to complain about, everything is over. She directly hugged Chen Shilian in her arms and comforted her softly.

Old man Zou was sad for a while, only to find that there was a ghostly stinky boy outside the door, thinking that this stinky boy was really blessed to invite such a beautiful daughter-in-law. Thinking that there would be one more girl in the family, the old man's eyes became gentle when he looked at Zou Wenfang.

Zou Wenfang also knows the old man's temperament very well, he just likes girls, and when he sees the girl Zou Old Man, he has no worries.

Thinking that after the third sister got married, there would be few girls in the family, and the old man sighed every day, which was very annoying. After that, she went to the third sister's house to urge her to go back to her parents' house for a few days, which made her in-laws think that their own family was not good for the new daughter-in-law. Thinking of this, Zou Wenfang wanted to laugh.

Old man Zou saw this stupid boy laughing there, and he didn't think so, so he shouted for him to come in. I didn't expect to say hello a few times, but he was still giggling there. The old man was angry, so he ran out directly, grabbing Zou Wenfang's ears and bringing him in.

Old man Zou didn't talk to him, looked at Chen Shilian with concern, and saw that she was asleep with tears in the corners of her eyes in Zou's mother's arms, so he placed her in the room with Zou's mother to rest. Zou Wenfang originally wanted to help, but when he was glared at by Old Man Zou, he could only withdraw his hand stupidly, and watched his father and mother carry his daughter-in-law into the room together.

Zou Wenfang was still thinking about the daughter-in-law he identified, and he was distracted.

Zou Lao looked at him like this after returning to the living room, "Ahem".

Zou Wenfang woke up when he heard the old man's cough. He saw that the old man didn't speak, and kept a straight face, he didn't think about it and directly admitted his mistake, "Dad, you see that you have another daughter today, don't be so straightforward, you should be happy." I also have an extra sister, do you think it's time to celebrate today, kill a chicken or something, and wash the dust for Sister Chen. ”

Old man Zou really ate this, "Yes, this girl is weird, she must have suffered a lot along the way, and I will make her more delicious food later." Well, I'm going to get some game or something, those pheasants and hares are more supplemental. Stinky boy, go, pick up something for Daddy. ”

The corners of Zou Wenfang's mouth twitched, every time his father asked him to go hunting, he said this, and he felt like a four-legged Ah Huang. But he didn't dare to disobey the old man, and the old man didn't know what the road was, and he was athletic. Old man Zou's bird is called a must, and there is no false hair. Zou Wenfang knew that the old man knew kung fu, but he didn't understand why the old man, as the old man's only son, didn't pass on his martial arts. I can't figure it out, so I just don't want to. Today is also a rare touch of Sister Chen's light, you can eat wild meat once, and Zou Wenfang is also very interested. He followed behind the old man and walked towards the depths of Aofeng Mountain together.

It is rumored that there are "big bugs" in Aofeng Mountain, that is, tigers infested, or South China tigers in the vein of Wuyi Mountain. Zou Wenfang had never seen a tiger, but the occasional beast remains in the mountains also indicated the existence of fierce beasts in the mountains. The thin Zou Wenfang has also practiced his guts, although he has not learned the old man's kung fu, but his courage is not lost to anyone.

Leaving home requires a 10-kilometre hike and miles through the jungle to get deeper into the mountains.
