After having dinner in Chenbu Town, Yang Tinghui and Wang Lantian went directly to Shouchun County, and under the escort of the county brigade led by An Xuemei, the county magistrate of Shouchun County, they would take advantage of the darkness to pass through the Third Division and report directly to the Jianghuai Military Region. It can be seen that the two chiefs are in a good mood, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, everything that should be explained has been explained, and they seem to be very relieved.

Yang Tinghui did not talk to Dongfang Wenyin alone, and after talking with Liang Bida, the two leaders found Song Shangda and Ma Xiping respectively. In this way, everyone has a clear idea of where they are going, but they do not know what the leaders have talked about with other comrades.

Sending Yang and Wang away, Dongfang Wenyin thought that Liang Bida wanted to exchange opinions with him, but unexpectedly, Liang Bida disappeared in a blink of an eye. Dongfang Wenyin felt a little strange in his heart, thinking to himself, this Liang Bida, when he became the commander, he would not recognize his old comrades-in-arms. decided to ignore him, but after thinking about it again, he couldn't help it, so he walked down the mountain.

Liang Bida's residence is the inner wing of the family of Zhang Ergen, a district cadre. When Dongfang Wenyin walked into the courtyard, Zhang Ergen's family was eating, and Zhang Ergen's dog Yao San was also looking left and right on the ground. The animal had sharp eyes, and when he saw Dongfang Wenyin coming in, he jumped up with a snort, jumped up and curried favor with Dongfang Wenyin. Dongfang was not afraid when he heard the sound, he stretched out his hand and teased Yao San to jump up and down.

This dog has a story. Yao San is the second litter of female dogs raised by Yue Xiuying, male, short legs and long body, but extremely clever, two months ago by Zhu Zhudao personally handed, as a gift for Captain Liang's twenty-seventh birthday, dedicated to Liang Bida. Liang Bida liked it very much, and gave it a weird name called Yao San. Why did you take it like this, Liang Bida didn't say, and others didn't know. Liang Bida took Yao San out to train in biting and fighting whenever he was free, and once Yao San actually slipped into the room of the team headquarters and killed a live chicken unequivocally. The chicken was bought by the cook Lao Han from the people's homes with half a piece of ocean, ready to comfort the wounded, and in a blink of an eye, there was no flesh and blood, Lao Han was so distressed that tears came out, and he had to fight with Yao San with the knife. Although Lao Han was lame in his left leg, because of his deep hatred that day, he even jumped and ran fast. Seeing that he was about to catch up, Liang Bida was alarmed, and Liang Bida followed him with a shell gun to pick up Lao Han, shouting while chasing: "Old Han of the dog day, if you cut off my Yao San, Lao Tzu will also cripple your right leg." ”

Lao Han threw away the kitchen knife and scolded: "Liang Daya, your wild father ate half of Lao Tzu's ocean, and that is for the injured number." Your dog's day's compensation. "Lao Han is an old Red Army from Shaanxi, and he became a cook because of his crippled leg, and he was the only one in the Chenbu County Brigade who dared to scold Liang Bida.

Liang Bida said: "Lao Tzu will compensate, Lao Tzu will compensate you for a piece of ocean and two chickens, right?" Animals are not sensible, and you are not sensible? What kind of hero can you be with him? ”

Later, Liang Bida really paid Lao Han a piece of the ocean, and the matter was over.

Seeing that Dongfang Wenyin was coming, Zhang Ergen greeted him out of the hall, lowered his voice and asked, "Dongfang Political Commissar, what happened to our Eighth Route Team?" I saw that Captain Liang's face was wrong. ”

Dongfang Wenyin was stunned for a moment, groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Captain Liang is probably a stomachache." ”

Zhang Ergen said: "This is even more wrong. Captain Liang usually came back to talk and laugh with us, but when he came back tonight, he ignored anyone and went into his room by himself. I wondered if there was something wrong with him, and asked the second child to send hot water, but Comrade Xiao Huang didn't let him in, saying that Captain Liang was not happy, and no one was allowed to worry, and the hot water was not allowed to be served inside. ”

Dongfang Wenyin thought for a while and said, "It's going to be fine, Lao Zhang, don't worry about it, I'll go in and take a look." With that, he moved his steps and walked inside. Yao San hurriedly jumped into his head, and the fart went to report the news.

Most of the houses of the common people in Bump Mountain are built by themselves, with earthen walls and grass roofs. There is no shortage of wood and bamboo in the mountains, so the accommodation is very spacious. Zhang Ergen's family lives in the courtyard of Erjin, and there are four main houses in the front yard, where Zhang Ergen's family lives. There is also a gatehouse under the gable of the east wing, which leads to the courtyard. The three rooms in the courtyard are Liang Bida's "official residence".

Huang Dehu, the guard squad leader who was sitting on the threshold of the second gatehouse and reading words, stood up when he heard the footsteps, saw that it was Dongfang Wenyin, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Dongfang Wenyin waving his hand. Huang Dehu knew the relationship between Dongfang Wenyin and the captain, so he naturally wouldn't be ignorant, so he grinned, flashed around and gave way to Dongfang Wenyin. Dongfang Wenyin tiptoed the door in, only to see Liang Bida lying on the bunk with his clothes, not moving at all, as if asleep, and strangely could not hear the snoring sound - Liang Bida's snoring Dongfang Wenyin was fully taught, when he first arrived in Chenbu County, there were more than a dozen officers and soldiers in the brigade headquarters, all of whom lived in the land temple on the street.

But today's Liang Bida slept very quietly. The light in the room was a little dim, Dongfang Wenyin stood in front of Liang Bida's shop, and couldn't decide whether to call him or not, but Liang Bida heard the movement, turned over and sat up, rubbing the blisters of his naked eyes, with a bitter face, looking at Dongfang Wenyin, and did not speak.

Dongfang Wenyin asked, "What's wrong with you?" Feeling unwell? ”

Liang Bida nodded and said, "Yes, it's uncomfortable." ”

Dongfang Wenyin asked again: "What's uncomfortable?" ”

Liang Bida pointed to his heart: "Here, it's uncomfortable here." ”

Dongfang Wenyin was surprised: "Don't have a heart problem." ”

Liang Bida smiled strangely and said: "There is nothing wrong with the heart, but I am sad in my heart." ”

Dongfang Wenyin felt inexplicable: "Hey, you are a person, you have made such rapid progress, you have become a commander, what are you sad about?" ”

Liang Bida said: "Isn't it sad to be a commander? It's because I'm a commander that I'm sad. ”

Dongfang Wenyin thought about it, seemed to understand, smiled slightly and said: "Are you worried about the lack of work experience, and the pig's large intestine can't straighten your waist when you get to the partition, right?" ”

Liang Bida said: "No, we don't lack work experience, and besides, we can also learn war in war, no one is born to be a commander." ”

Dongfang Wenyin said: "Then you are worried that you will not be able to unite with Deputy Commander Dou and Director Zhang, right?" ”

Liang Bida categorically denied: "It's not." As the old saying goes, Lord Yama doesn't hit smiling people. I am a rough man, I don't cover up my words and actions, and I am sorry for Deputy Commander Dou and Director Zhang. But I'm not worried, can I admit my mistakes to them? They are more capable and experienced than me, can I humbly learn from them? They are old revolutionaries and old communists, can I honestly respect them? They are intellectuals and scholars, I respect them and let them, and they enjoy happiness, can I choose hardships and endure hardships? Their consciousness is higher than mine, as long as they treat each other sincerely and don't engage in stumbling and braiding, as long as they are not traitors and devils, and as long as they are still true communists, I don't believe that I can't unite them. ”

Liang Bida's words were sincere and down-to-earth, and there was a sound on the ground, and there were some surprises that surprised Dongfang Wenyin, which also made her even more confused: "Don't go around like this to make a cloud cover and fog, just say what you are sad about, and see if I can help you come up with ideas." ”

Liang Bida said: "I'm sad, I'm not educated. I'm sad that I'm from a hard background, unlike you city people, who have been able to go to the academy to learn culture since childhood. Seeing off Commander Yang and them, the first thing I did when I came back was to count how many words I recognized. But I counted and counted three times, and the more I counted, the more discouraged I became. Guess how many words I recognized? After counting three times, it was still 426 words. Oh my God, I've put so much effort into studying culture, I can write a diary, and I can make a strip of speech, I thought I could be roughly regarded as a cultural person. But you see, it's only 426 words, which is a fart culture. It's okay to be a captain, but I'm going to be a commander. What is the identity of the commander, a commander like Commander Yang is a well-known commander. What kind of commander is a commander who only recognizes 426 words? A commander without culture is a straw bag commander, I am not Yao Hulu, not a bandit commander. I am the commander of the Eighth Route Army's Bump Mountain Military Division. Why was I so wild in the past? Why did you do so many reckless things? Why do you love to use foul language? It makes sense to say that it's because there is no culture. ”

At this moment, Dongfang Wenyin stood quietly opposite Liang Bida, she only felt that her heart trembled from time to time, and a wet thing floated in front of her. She was amazed to see that Liang Bida's eyes were also flashing with bright water. Dongfang Wenyin slowly moved his steps, walked to Liang Bida's shop, put a delicate hand into Liang Bida's unkempt hair, and stroked it gently, like stroking a well-behaved child, while stroking and muttering to himself: "Liang Bida, Liang Bida, don't be sad, don't worry, let's work harder, you will definitely become a very cultured person, you will be a commander with both civil and military skills." ”

Liang Bida raised his head and said, "Dongfang, do you know when I really started thinking about the word revolution?" ”

Dongfang Wenyin said: "You have always been in the revolution." ”

Liang Bida said: "Yes, I have always been revolutionary, but it was unconsciously. In the past, I thought that revolution was to pull the ranks, but later, I thought that revolution was to fight devils, including dealing with Liu Hanying's Kuomintang. Now, I don't think so, the word revolution is not so simple. I'm afraid you don't believe it, but what I'm really thinking about these two words is in the 'purity movement'. They arrested me and almost killed me, and in their words, it was revolution, too. After you went to see me, I thought about it all night the first night, thinking that once I had a good day, I would kill a few people first. The next night I thought about it again, and this night I was thinking about killing people, but not killing those people. It's still going to kill devils. Those few people kept shouting revolutionary slogans, but they did not understand revolution. If they deserve to be killed, I don't need to kill them. I want to do great things, I want to fight - that day I figured out that revolution is struggle, fighting against devils, fighting traitors, and fighting bad people inside. But such a revolution does not only rely on the barrel of a gun, but also kills enemies who are not at odds with each other, such as devils and traitors. However, for internal mistakes, it is not enough to kill alone. You think, if I come out and kill them, then I will be a counter-revolutionary, and I will be guilty of the same mistakes and crimes as they are. No, I can't do that. There are many means of struggle, and there are also differences in the objects of struggle, I cannot fool around like them, I want to be a revolutionary with ideas and strategies, find the target of struggle, grasp the tactics of struggle, and choose the target of struggle. I am uneducated at the moment, and I can't explain much reason, but I want them to see that it is me, Liang Bida, not them, who are the fastest and most at the forefront of the revolutionary road! ”

Dongfang Wenyin stared at the impassioned Liang Bida motionlessly, and suddenly found that she didn't know this person a little.
