The danger is like a moving black cloud, under the cover of darkness in the night, quietly drifting towards Cuijiaji, the location of the fourth district of Chenbu County.

The people of Cui Jiaji were unaware of this.

A dim lantern reflects the figures of Li Wenbin and Cui February.

Li Wenbin arrived at Cui's house before sunset. Since Dongfang Wenyin was transferred back to the sub-district, the special committee and the sub-district have been re-clarified, and Li Wenbin will be in charge of the political work of the county brigade.

On the first day, Li Wenbin and Zhu Zhudao, the new captain of the Chenbu County Brigade, led a squadron to Meiling to participate in the reception of Liu Hanying, Wen Zeyuan, and other dignitaries of the Kuomintang army. He saw that Liang Bida, who had become a commander, was talking and laughing freely with Liu Hanying and others, not only did he completely lose his original rude appearance, but also had the demeanor of the head of the Eighth Route Army, behaved decently, and grasped the proportions just right in his politeness, neither humble nor arrogant.

During the whole meeting, Zhang Pujing and Dou Yuquan also cooperated very well with Liang Bida, and there was no sign that there had been a serious dispute between them. What made Li Wenbin particularly unacceptable was that Dou Yuquan, Jiang Gubei and others actually behaved in front of Liang Bida...... It's just that Liang Bida is the first to look forward, especially the Jianggu Monument, the "Purity Movement" is led by him, and he works hardest to clean up Liang Bida, but now it's good, all the words are Commander Liang and Commander Liang is short, and the look of looking up to people is numb, as if he is worried that Liang Bida will kill him at any time.

After the talks, Li Wenbin wanted to stab Jiang Gubei fiercely, but Jiang Gubei followed Liang Bida and acted as an entourage with low eyebrows and went to the Kuomintang. Li Wenbin had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, found Dou Yuquan, and sarcastically said a few words in frustration, saying that they had become one with Liang Bida so quickly, which made people doubt their personalities.

Dou Yuquan criticized him lukewarmly, pointing out that his mountain-top thinking was not only wrong, but also dangerous. This made him even more depressed, and he had a dark worry. At that time, he ridiculed Dou Yuquan and said: "My opposition to Liang Daya is true, because I can't get used to his warlord style." Among comrades, if there is an opinion, they will speak out, and it is above board. But you obviously have opinions in your hearts, but on the surface you are a group of kind, and you don't point out any problems, which seems to support Liang Daya, but in fact promotes his bad habit of flying and domineering. This attitude of conformity is harmful to the revolution. ”

Dou Yuquan said: "Why do we disobey yang and yin? How can a deputy commander always pick on the commander's fault? I see that this comrade of yours has gotten into the horns of the bull. It is only when you have such a mind that you do not have the slightest tolerance for your comrades that you are really harmful to the revolution. ”

Li Wenbin has indeed gotten into the horns. What does he think, how is Liang Bida not like a revolutionary, if people like Liang Bida are revolutionaries, then what is the matter with these professional revolutionaries who are highly educated and educated by red theory?

Dou Yuquan repeatedly stressed to him that revolutionaries should be lenient and should see not only the shortcomings of their comrades, but also the strong points of their comrades. Dou Yuquan said: "Let's just say that you Lao Li, you are principled, evil as hatred, and there is no room for sand in your eyes, this is your preciousness." But ask yourself, you don't have any problems? You said that Liang Bida was corrupt, but I didn't see any evidence. But your corruption is obvious to all. Recently, I heard a joke that your little landlord Cui February, who had a child with her mother, had a child on her mother's front and back feet, Cui February's milk was not enough, but her mother had enough milk, Cui February's return to Cui's house with the child, and her nephew grabbed her uncle's milk to eat. Some say that both children are like you. What do you think this is? ”

Li Wenbin didn't listen to this, but as soon as he heard that there was such a legend, the green tendons on his forehead burst out at that time, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Which traitor made this rumor?" It's too despicable, the only one who makes this kind of rumor can only be the bandit ruffians in Bump Mountain, and they should be shot if they are caught. ”

Dou Yuquan said tepidly: "We don't believe it's true either. But it is a fact that you and that Cui February's inaction is not clean. Therefore, everyone is not perfect, and we should still be tolerant. We are making a revolution here, and although we have an important mission, we are not otherworldly saints, and we can understand that there are seven emotions and six desires. But you have to be clear, we have been carrying this matter for you, if you let Lao Zhang know, you will be finished. ”

This meeting with Dou Yuquan broke up unhappily. It is not groundless to say that he has a little to do with Cui February, but it is too dirty to get him and Cui February's mother together. It's tolerable, it's unbearable. Also, Dou Yuquan used Zhang Pujing's principles to blackmail him, which was obviously ill-intentioned. This made his heart even heavier.

When they broke up, Li Wenbin couldn't help but stab Dou Yuquan a few times, and said: "Old Dou, I think we all have to learn from Comrade Zhang Pujing, do official things, and be neither humble nor arrogant. Don't do that honey-bellied sword game anymore. You are not accommodating Liang Daya, but endangering the revolutionary cause of Bump Mountain. ”

Dou Yuquan turned his face cold and said, "Who did the honey-belly sword?" Liang Bida is a good comrade, I am sincerely supporting Comrade Liang Bida in his work, and I do not have a trace of dark thoughts in my heart. Why do you regard all of us as enemies of the revolution? You are always suspicious, as if the whole world has a ghost in your heart, and you alone are white and flawless, which is really unreasonable. ”

Li Wenbin finally came back to his senses and couldn't help but gasp - well, in the blink of an eye, he Li Wenbin became the opposite of the revolution, and he Dou Yuquan turned into a good comrade with a magnanimous mind for the overall situation.

In a fit of anger, Li Wenbin gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you said that you don't have a trace of dark thoughts in your heart, then I'll tell him about the thing you designed to deal with Liang Daya, do you have the guts?" ”

Li Wenbin thought that he scared Dou Yuquan with this hand, but he didn't expect Dou Yuquan to care at all, he was just stunned, and then he laughed heartily and said: "Alas, Lao Li, you still say that other people are psychologically dark, I think you are ...... How to say it, it would be too hurtful to say that you are a gentleman with the heart of a villain. But you really make me laugh and cry. Do you always think that this matter is my Dou Yuquan's heart disease, do you think that if you grasp the situation and don't say it, you will help me, and you can beat me from time to time? Lao Li, let me tell you, you really think wrong. If you don't believe it, ask Liang Bida, he already knows about it. Do you know what he told me? He said this: Lao Dou, at that time, you just put me to death, and I believe that you were also for the implementation of the policies of your superiors, and you were also sincerely for the revolution. Since I was not killed, it means that the revolution still requires us to continue to fight side by side. I, Liang Bida, am a rough man, and I only know that my enemies are Japanese devils and traitors. What is the misunderstanding between comrades? Quarrel and scold the mother in a room, and drink at a table without arguing. Don't mention this matter anymore, whoever mentions it is uneasy and well-intentioned to sabotage the unity and war of resistance. Lao Li, you don't think I'm making it up, right? If you don't believe it, you can go to Liang Bida to report the incident and see what his attitude is. ”

These words made Li Wenbin stunned. Of course, he wouldn't go to Liang Daya to confront him and prove that Dou Yuquan's words were true or false - that would be even more unlucky. As a result, he felt even more isolated.

In this way, in Bump Mountain, everyone can accept Liang Daya, even Zhang Pujing cooperates seamlessly with Liang Daya on face, everyone is a gentleman and frank, only he Li Wenbin is a villain, and he is stubborn and admits death - and it has become unreasonable. As expected, he was still tugging at his big pigtails, which was like lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

On the way back to Chenbu County in the later morning, everyone was happily talking about showing his hand to the Kuomintang, and some people talked about the 10 yellow coats that Liu Hanying had given to the head of the sub-district and the 200 new guns he had given to the troops, but Li Wenbin kept a calm face and said nothing. When passing by Huanggang, he suddenly proposed to Zhu Zhudao that he should go to Cuijiaji in the fourth district to check the work of the armed forces committee there.

Not long after Zhu Zhudao became the captain, it was naturally inconvenient to obstruct the actions of the old political commissar, so he was assigned a squad to serve as a security guard, and asked the team leader to pay attention to the safety of Political Commissar Li, and the two parted ways.

Li Wenbin came to Cui's house at this time, and the inspection of the work of the Armed Forces Committee was just an excuse, and his real purpose was to come to Cui February, who was returning to his parents' home with relatives. At the beginning, in his most difficult time, it was this village woman in the bumpy mountain who gave him considerable comfort, he conquered her as a revolutionary, she fell in love with him with the heart of a village girl full of longing for the revolution, and under the banner of the revolution, how wonderful the secret love they had established. Now, besides her, who else can I tell this heart-wrenching affair?

But, after all, times have changed. On this night a few years later, Li Wenbin was obviously suffering from a mental storm. The shrewd eyes seemed to have lost a lot of their brilliance, and they were darker and darker behind the lenses, and the original white face seemed to be covered with a gray paper film under the lantern. He smoked dry tobacco one after another, and the strong smell of tobacco filled the room, and his mind was soaked in the dark blue smoke.

Cui February's distressed look at the leader and lover she admired, unable to imagine how much bitterness was in his heart. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say, she just gently held his hand and silently passed her sympathy and love to him through the palm of her hand. His hand was cold, and even though Cui Eryue used his own warmth to simmer it for a long time, it was still cold.

Cui February's sudden glimmer of foreboding swept through his heart. She never regretted it, she never forgot him, and even after she had to get married, her heart still belonged to him.
