When Su Lan and Gu Zicheng led more than twenty Red Guards to reach Duck's Mouth, the moon was already setting in the west. The mountain beams appear thick and composed against the background of the moonlight.

A duck's beak is a mountain leg. It is called a duck's beak because it sticks out of the mountains and stretches into the Baiyu River, forcing the river to make a bend. Under the mountain beam, by the river, there is a big car road, which connects Xinqi County in Henan Province.

This is the choke point from north to south into Evian Town.

Su Lan pulled the team up the mountain beam, leaving only two guard posts at the intersection of the mountain. It is so condescending that it is easy to dive and attack.

After the position was laid out, the players took turns sleeping and resting. Su Lan sat on a stone and looked at the Baiyu River slowly moving south in a daze.

Gu Zicheng quietly walked over and sat down beside Su Lan: "Deputy commander-in-chief, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Su Lan said: "As soon as your stomach hurts, I know that nothing good is good." ”

The two have played together since childhood, and when Gu Zicheng wanted to play tricks when he was in trouble, he said that he had a stomachache, and his name was homophonic like "stomachache", so his partners nicknamed him "stomachache".

"Don't mention the matter of asking for guns, you have to figure it out yourself." Su Lan said.

Gu Zicheng patted his stomach and said with a smile: "When you say this, I really have a stomachache." I don't want people, I don't want people. ”

Su Lan was puzzled to hear it: "What do you mean?" ”

"That's it...... It is...... Didn't my grandfather order me a family business, I ...... I don't want it anymore, is this a violation of the rules of the peasant association? I have heard that the peasant associations have made many rules, one of which is the freedom to marry. Like me, I am free to choose to marry or not to marry, right? ”

Su Lan laughed "poof": "This matter, how sensible is Boss Lu's daughter, she is a good daughter-in-law who is difficult to find with a lantern." You are still obedient when you get benefits, and the full man does not know that the hungry man is hungry. ”

"That girl is good, but, I, don't I want a revolution? If one day, you will die honorably and marry someone else's girl, won't you harm others? ”

"To tell you the truth, why don't you want Miss Fengjuan anymore?"

"Is it possible to withdraw from the marriage freely?"

"According to the rules of the peasant association, of course, you can freely withdraw from the marriage, but your marriage was made under the old system, and if you want to withdraw under the new system, I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome. Not only do you have to get the consent of the other party, that is, Feng Juan, but also Boss Lu has to not object. Of course, it is mainly Feng Juan's opinion. ”

"So troublesome? In the past, a letter of resignation was enough to solve the problem. ”

Gu Zicheng didn't get the answer he wanted, and he was a little unwilling, but there was no better reason, so he had to find a place to sit down and think about what to do next?

It was still a little cold in the mountains at night, and Su Lan wrapped her thin clothes tighter, and fell asleep in a daze.

A rooster crow in the distance woke up most of the team members, and the east was already white.

That night, the road down the hill was so quiet that not a single carriage had passed.

Gu Zicheng came to ask Su Lan whether to withdraw the team after dawn, Su Lan did not receive an order, and did not dare to withdraw the army rashly. The team has been hiding on the mountain beam.

Just as the two were trying to analyze which direction the militia was attacking Evian, two men with guns came from the direction of the town.

Su Lan recognized it, it was a peasant picket. One of the older ones took out a piece of paper, shook it in front of Gu Zicheng's eyes, and said, "Comrade Gu Zicheng, some people have reported that you once sneaked into the house of the big landlord Tang Yongfa and raped a people's daughter, causing the woman to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well. Now, on the orders of Director Cheng, I will take you back to the peasant association to investigate. ”

When Gu Zicheng heard this, he was furious: "I didn't offend anyone, who is so bad, and sue the black." ”

Su Lan said in surprise, "What's going on? ”

Gu Zicheng thought for a while, slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, it must be him!" ”

"Who?"

"It's not because of your precious brother Su Yu." Gu Zicheng said, "He asked me to help Leng Tiehu save his sister, I did go to the Tang family and saw Tiehu's sister, but the girl didn't want to go with me, but wanted to be with the second young master of the Tang family, so I left." Later, I heard that the girl had thrown herself into a well. But what does this have to do with me? It's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people. ”

"Comrade Gu Zicheng, let's go." One of the pickets reached out and pulled out a pistol from Gu Zicheng's waist, "If there is any reason to go to the peasant association, let's talk about it, we are only responsible for detaining people." ”

Su Lan thought that he knew Gu Zicheng's personality, and he shouldn't do that kind of thing, but if someone sued, it wouldn't work if he didn't cooperate with the investigation. She said, "Then let's go and cooperate with the investigation first." ”

The pickets took out a rope to tie people up, and Su Lan said: "That's not necessary, the matter hasn't been clarified yet, Gu Zicheng won't run." ”

"Lao Tzu will go by himself." Gu Zicheng said, shook off his clothes, and strode down the mountain.

Su Lan looked at their backs, and her heart was quite uneasy.

At such a time when the peasant revolt is taking place, the people's political power has just been established, and everything is still in its infancy, the most important thing is to maintain the discipline of the masses and to calm the people's minds.

Although he believed in Gu Zicheng's character, she didn't dare to guarantee that Gu Zicheng didn't do that. In particular, Zicheng also mentioned that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage, is there any connection between this?

Gu Zicheng followed the pickets to the peasant association and met Director Cheng Deren.

He was about to speak, Director Cheng said: "Comrade Gu Zicheng, some people have reported that you raped a people's girl, and some family members have reported it, we have preliminarily investigated the servants of Tang Yongfa's family, and the matter is basically clear, but there are still some suspicious points that need to be further investigated." At present, resisting the attack of the militia is a top priority, and you will not be able to take care of this matter for the time being. I'll lock you up for three days, and then I'll check your affairs when this battle is over. ”

Gu Zicheng said: "Since I haven't found out, it's better to let me go to war." ”

Director Cheng said: "Discipline is more important than life, don't talk nonsense, take it down." ”

Gu Zicheng was really angry at this time, and his stomach hurt. He was escorted to a hut by the back garden of the Tang family's compound and locked up.

Gu Zicheng walked around the hut, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Leng Tiehu, a stupid guy, has no distinction between loyalty and treachery, his subordinates showed mercy the day before yesterday and did not abolish him. No, you have to go out, confront Leng Tiehu face to face, and let him explain things clearly.

Zicheng looked at the hut where he was closed.

It was supposed to be a storeroom, with a door facing the garden and a window at the back, but it had been nailed with a plank.

He looked out through the gap in the plank, and a foot behind the hut was the wall of the Tang family's compound, and he touched the flying tiger claw on his waist, and it was still there. How can this cage trap the flying man?

Soon, he pried open the rear window and escaped from there. In one breath, he ran to the house at the foot of the mountain in the south of the town. Last night, it was here that he and Leng Tiehu looked at each other.

The door was hidden, Gu Zicheng stood at the door and said loudly: "Leng Tiehu, if there is a seed, come out, explain the matter clearly in person, why stab you in the back." ”

No one in the room answered.

"Leng Tiehu, the eldest husband dares to do it, don't you have the courage to do things and not have the courage to come out and speak?"

The door opened, and Shi Dazhu walked out with his hands behind his back: "Captain Gu, yelling at my house early in the morning, what kind of system is it?" ”

"Oh, senior brother, I didn't know you were there, I had something to do with Leng Tiehu."

"Brother Iron Tiger is now a member of my Silver Spear Club, if he offends you, you have to bear with him, if he goes too far, you can just tell me, and I will deal with it fairly."

At this time, Leng Tiehu and Shi Xiaoshu walked out of the house, standing on both sides behind Shi Dazhu, like a mountain king with two little minions.

Gu Zicheng never expected that Leng Tiehu would come together with Shi Dazhu so quickly, and join the Silver Spear Club.

Shi Dazhu is the senior brother and Tie Hu's cousin, because of his feelings, Gu Zicheng can't be tough with Tie Hu in front of his senior brother, so he has to hold his stomach and leave.
