The county magistrate Li enshrined Du Gang as a god, and asked Du Gang to be the regimental defense chief of the Han'an County League Defense Bureau, and the station was located in Liantian Mountain, and he waited for three days with good food and drink, and three days later, Du Gang carried the letter of appointment issued by the county magistrate Li and returned to the station, and the monthly salary was then sent to the cottage. When everyone was excitedly dividing things, Huwa led dozens of people into the Juyi Hall with some iron bumps with wheels and wheels.

In fact, there are not so many coincidences and lucky things in the world, when Du Gang was asking for hexagrams in Qingfeng Temple, the tiger baby had already crossed the river from Luzhou and went around to the north bank. After Du Gang and Wang Xinghui led the people down the mountain, Uncle Yi was always relieved in his heart, and after thinking twice, he still sent Huwa to take Li Lei and a few others to secretly cross the river to find out the news, preparing to wait for an opportunity to attack Guo Xunqi's rear. The day after the tiger baby crossed the river, he touched the vicinity of Guo Xunqi's forward position, this day in an abandoned village called Huajiaoba two miles away from the position, the tiger baby had an unexpected discovery: more than a dozen people transported materials back and forth between the village and the position, and at night, there were no lights in the village, only a few sparse voices, and the tiger baby could quickly distinguish that there were no more than five people on the night vigil.

Huwa secretly put the two guards, and when he entered a big room, he saw that there were piles of wooden boxes inside, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a full box of ammunition, and he interrogated a guard, and the man said honestly: "In addition to the hundred **** and twenty bullets per person that have been distributed, the ammunition reserves of our entire brigade are here." ”

This surprise was not small, Huwa took the opportunity to set up, solved the remaining few guards left behind in three times and five by two, and immediately transported the ammunition and weapons at the scene overnight. Before dawn, the entire ammunition was cleanly transported to the hidden ship by the river, and only a pile of neatly stacked steel lumps remained, and I don't know what kind of equipment it was.

A brother asked, "What about these things," and when Huwa was hesitating, a person came in from outside, and Huwa grabbed him by the collar: "Okay, it's you! Lei Degui's heart is like ashes, he and Guo Xunqi together to send troops to take revenge, he is personally responsible for the supply of military ammunition, this time the army pressed, and there are 100,000 troops of Tang Division Commander as a follow-up, seeing that it will not take long to be blasted out of the evil spirit of Liantian Mountain, after dinner that day, he walked to the door of the Zhu family's compound, and wanted to call Guo Xunqi to go to his quartermaster secret base to inspect, the guards jokingly told Lei Degui, saying that Brigade Commander Guo's aunt and wife personally went to the front line to supervise the war, and he has not gotten up at the moment, it is best not to disturb, Lei Degui had to take one of his entourage and take a jeep to Huajiao Dam, but he did not expect that the wheel of the car was punctured when he just arrived at the entrance of the villageAs soon as he asked the driver to go down to check, the barrel of the gun was against his temple in the dark, and he was escorted into the base.

From Lei Degui's mouth, Huwa knew that this was a French-style Lebel rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle rifle production line, Huwa was happy: with this set of equipment, the supply of cottage weapons in the future can be said to be endless, and there is no need to rely on hitting the mountain and buying it, which is really a great harvest. He immediately pulled out his bayonet and was about to send Lei Degui on the road, Li Lei stopped him, Li Lei whispered a few words, Huwa felt very reasonable when he heard it, he asked Lei Degui and said: "What kind of machine is this set, will you use it?" Lei Degui said desolately: "This is the machine that Brigade Commander Guo sent me to buy from Guizhou for a huge amount of money, and it is the treasure that Feng Zicai captured from the French back then, and it has not had time to come in handy, and if you can't think of it, it will fall into your hands......" "Don't talk nonsense, will you use it!" The tiger baby's temper is not good, Lei Degui was interrupted by the former long-term worker, and he was also holding his breath in his heart, and suddenly gave birth to an unruly temper, thinking that the left and right are a death, and the little long-term worker should not be insulted like this: "I Lei graduated from the third phase of the Yunnan Jiangwutang Heavy Duty Class, this ordnance use, originally my business, since this set of equipment is purchased by me, I am naturally familiar with his structure and use......"

In this way, Huwa explained the incident to Du Gang, Wang Xinghui and Yi Laobo, and brought a bunch of equipment and Lei Degui to the front of everyone in the Gathering Hall. "Oh, by the way," Huwa added, "along the way, we also rescued five or six young students, who were playing in the Bolu River, and were trapped on Jiangxin Island, and two female students were drenched in the rain and had a severe fever, and I rescued them back to the cottage by the way, which will be ......raised in Huang Ling'er's teahouse." ”

Du Gang chuckled in his heart, his mind slowly buzzed, these days, he has been immersed in the admiring eyes of County Magistrate Li and everyone around him, until now he reluctantly gradually sobered up, it turned out that the retreat of the enemy soldiers on the north bank was not all or not at all due to his prestige as the "King of Beasts", but because he was copied by the tiger baby, and the opponent's ammunition depot was wiped out in one fell swoop. It was as if he had a dream, and he didn't wake up until now, and his heart gradually became uncomfortable.

Huwa didn't know all the glory that Du Gang had won in the county these days, and he had no intention of demolishing Du Gang's platform, but this surprise attack had such good results, he was naturally elated when he told it in public, and his eyebrows danced, but Du Gang's face was white and red, he peeked at everyone's expressions, as if everyone had a look of disdain for him on their faces, he felt that he was lifted high, and he was thrown down again, he yelled at Lei Degui: " Lei Degui, you are bold, I let you go back last time, and you still dare to come to die, it is really unreasonable, come on, pull me out and kill me!"

Of course Lei Degui was not shot, Wang Xinghui blocked the guards who came forward, Wang Xinghui was a careful person, he might be able to take into account Du Gang's subtle psychological changes, but he knew that Lei Degui couldn't be killed, he didn't have time to think about it at that time, Du Gang had already pulled out the short gun given to him by the county magistrate and put it against Lei Degui's head, which couldn't help but make him not stand in front of Lei Degui. On the same day, Du Gang, Yi Laobo, and Hu Wa had a heated discussion, and Yi Laobo, Wang Xinghui, and Hu Wa agreed that Lei Degui was the only soldier Xiucai who was familiar with this set of ordnance manufacturing, and he could not be killed, and whether this set of French-style Lebel rifling rifling assembly and production equipment could make weapons fell on him. Uncle Yi said: "If we can make guns ourselves, this will really be like a tiger with wings, and we will no longer have to be afraid of the bandits in Wumeng Mountain!"

Du Gang's gun was stunned in mid-air, Wang Xinghui suddenly understood his embarrassment at this time, he lowered his head and stepped forward, while pressing down his gun, just about to say a few words to appease him, Du Gang suddenly shook off Wang Xinghui's hand, and said coldly: "Okay, listen to you, if you want to leave people behind, just stay, I'm a little tired, I'm going to sleep." Du Gang ignored the tiger baby and Uncle Yi and others present, and left the justice hall with a long face.

None of the people took this matter to heart, one day after a month, Wang Xinghui just walked into the archway of the Phoenix Temple, and heard the tiger baby in a strong Zhang Luo: "Paste here, paste here, by the way, a little more left......" Wang Xinghui stepped forward, Huwa commanded these two guys to post a sign next to the Juyi Hall, and another guy was standing on the bamboo ladder, hanging something on it, Du Gang sat on the stump in front of the hall, looking at it with a smile, Wang Xinghui knew from his afterglow that Du Gang had seen himself, Wang Xinghui was about to ask Du Gang, Du Gang stood up, and said to Huwa: " That's right, that's right, hang it here, it's atmospheric, Huwa, you go back and find someone to paint the wall white, and paint the door with some vermilion paint, which is even more magnificent, Xinghui you come, you come, I have something to say to you," Du Gang suddenly turned his head, pulled Wang Xinghui, and walked to a field on the right, a small car appeared in front of Wang Xinghui, Du Gang said proudly:" This is the mount arranged for us by County Magistrate Li, made in the United States, Chevrolet sedan, run with foreign oil, don't eat grass, and it's faster than a horse, you see if it's a god, eh, I'll leave this matter to you, this is the county's Song Gan Office, you learn from him, learn it, and the next time you go to the city, we don't have to ride a horse. Du Gang pointed to a person and said, put a key in Wang Xinghui's hand, and walked towards the tiger baby, Wang Xinghui saw the plaque that had just been hung, and a few words were written: Han'an Administration Liantianshan District Office.

Wang Xinghui paused slightly, but still called Du Gang, Du Gang turned around, maybe Wang Xinghui thought too much, in Du Gang's eyes, he clearly saw some strange things, Du Gang's expression seemed to smile and asked: "What else?" Wang Xinghui was stunned again, and said: "Nothing, nothing." He originally wanted to ask whose idea it was to hang up, but suddenly felt that this question was simply redundant, the car was driven by the county magistrate, and the listing was naturally the idea of the county magistrate Li, Wang Xinghui saw that the tiger baby was still regulating the brand-new plaque with great interest, and he smiled helplessly and left.

It is not difficult to start this foreign guy, Wang Xing will insert the key in, twist it, the car will start, he drove a few back and forth in the open area, Song Ganban pointed out on the side: This is called a gear, step on the gas pedal here, press this when you turn a corner, this is a horn! Didi! He said while pressing, and soon attracted the attention of everyone in the square, even the people of Tianshan have never seen a car, everyone stopped what they were doing and stood still, Wang Xing will say to Song Ganban: "Let's drive farther!" Without waiting for Song Ganban to speak, he turned the steering wheel, and the car swished, and drove halfway up the mountain from the main road in front of the hall.

Perhaps Wang Xinghui just wanted to get out of everyone's eyes, he drove the car to a big house in the middle of the mountain, which was originally a warehouse used by the Hu family to hoard livestock and forage, and now it is used as the Liantianshan Arsenal, since Lei Degui was arrested on the mountain, he has been arranged here, and a few men have also been arranged to "be apprentices". Wang Xinghui stopped the car, handed back the key to Song Ganban, and said, "You drive back first, I'm a bit of a stomach, I want to find a convenient place, don't worry about me, I'll go back by myself later." ”

He pushed the door open and walked into the improvised arsenal, where Redgui was in front of the production line of the French Lebel rifle, holding an iron pipe in his hand, and shining it earnestly with a small flashlight. Uncle Yi was also on the side. After Uncle Yi's painstaking persuasion, Lei Degui had already agreed to surrender to the service of sincerity, and he replied when Uncle Yi persuaded him: " I have lived in Liantian Mountain for more than 10 years, and have already regarded this place as a mulberry land, it turned out to be offended, it is really a duty, do not dare to slack off, today you are willing to give up the previous suspicion to re-admit me, do not allow me not to obey, I have also seen through, now this world, there is no reason to talk about black and white, life is the most important, but my wife and children are still in Luzhou, you have to find a way to help me take them over, I can work for the cottage with peace of mind. Later, Wang Xinghui tried to find a way to pick up Lei Degui's wife and children from his hometown in Luzhou up the mountain, since then Lei Degui put his heart down, concentrate on the study of equipment, he thought about leaving Liantian Mountain for a lifetime, but less than two years away from the mountain, and was captured on the mountain, maybe this is his destination, Lei Degui no longer blames fate for being unfair, as he said, maybe he has seen through this cannibalistic world, back to Guo Xunqi's army for more than a year, he has participated in several battles for territory, nothing more than you fight me, I beat you, this outside fight kills, he has long been down, this will be able to learn in this small arsenal, it is fate。 Although he knew that several of his "apprentices" were ordered to spy on him, it was normal for people to think about it, so he didn't mind anymore. At this time, Lei Degui saw Wang Xinghui walk in, looked at each other and smiled, and did not say more, in fact, Wang Xinghui has not had much disgust with Lei Degui, he only vaguely remembered that when he grew up in the Hu family, he suffered the most from Hu Guiquan and Hu Wan.

Wang Xinghui talked with Uncle Yi for a while, and talked about some recent personnel situation and money and food expenditure in the cottage, Uncle Yi said: "It just so happens that you are here, you are young and brainy, and you have nothing to do with the ** family to think about this gun-making thing, and make this Leibei rifle as soon as possible." Everyone disliked the name of this French-style Lebel rifle, and they all called him a Levet rifle, and Yi Lao Bo had to give Wang Xing a look, turn around and leave. Wang Xinghui agreed, and suddenly asked again: "By the way, we have hung a sign of the Tianshan District Office at the door of our Gathering Hall, do you know about this?"

Uncle Yi paused for a while, and replied without looking back: "Oh, I know, I saw it early this morning." ”

Wang Xinghui smiled, watched Uncle Yi leave, and turned his head to look at Lei Degui, Lei Degui didn't seem to be interested in paying attention to the conversation between him and Uncle Yi, and concentrated on fiddling with the machine in his hand, Wang Xinghui walked out of the arsenal and walked down a path in the back mountain boredly. He looked around, and there was no one in the back mountain, only the mountains and bamboos and the sea, and the sound of hundreds of birds.

He walked in the mountains for a long time, there was a slight sweat on his body, he simply unbuttoned his clothes, threw off his arms, a depressed breath in his chest, about to come out, he shouted at the opposite cliff, the sound echoed, echoed in the valley for a long time, around the beam. Walking to the evening, seeing that it was far away from the arsenal, looking back, only to see the Phoenix Temple on the mountain standing far away on the edge of the cliff, the shadow is enough to see the lights on it, he guessed that it should be Du Gang and Huwa and others are still arranging the cottage in Zhangluo. He sat on the ground tiredly, hungry in his stomach, and touched up and down, but not only did he not have a copper coin, a little dry food, and not even a tool for cutting and digging. was wondering, only to see a girl in the bamboo forest carrying a bamboo basket slowly walked out.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a light blue wrist-length silk shirt, a long black skirt, a lot of mud on the pointed toe of her shoes, carrying a bamboo basket cross-legged, with seven or eight wild mushrooms in it, and a smile on her face, as if she had walked out of the painting.

The girl blushed at the sight of him, lowered her head slightly, and Wang Xinghui realized that she was out of shape, and he hurriedly asked her name. The girl smiled sweetly and said: "My name is Yang Xi, I am a student of Nantong Women's College, I came to southern Sichuan with our Miss Lin and a few friends, it has been some time since I came out, a few days ago we rowed on the Bolu River and got lost, Miss Lin was in the rain and had a fever, it was you who brought us here with a young man named Huwa, and now we are settled in the teahouse in front." ”

Wang Xinghui said: "So that's the case, then you, what are you ......" Yang Xi looked at the basket and said: "Miss Lin's fever hasn't subsided yet, and she may have to recuperate for a few days, I'm idle, go to the bamboo forest to pick up some mushrooms, and make soup for Miss Lin to drink." ”

Wang Xinghui was talking to Yang Xi while looking for words, his heart kept pounding, he turned his head away, not looking at Yang Xi, he saw that Yang Xi's forehead was already oozing with sweat, and hurriedly climbed the palm tree next to him, struggled to break off a palm leaf, trimmed the burr, made a fan, handed it to Yang Xi and said, "You are sweating, a little tired, fan it." Yang Xi took the palm leaves, sat beside him lightly and fanned it, a girlish breath floated on his body, Wang Xing was willing, and his heart beat faster.

Wang Xinghui lowered his head and looked at his toes, he had never been alone with a girl of the same age like this, at this time, smelling the fragrance of Yang Xi's body, the birds in the mountains, and the murmuring water, where would he not be nervous. Wang Xinghui settled down, and secretly blamed himself in his heart: I was still depressed and worried about the cottage just now, and when I saw a beautiful girl, I was incoherent and flustered, which is really undeserved, since she came here from Nantong to play, how can she care about a person like me? No matter how beautiful and beautiful she is, how can she have anything to do with me? How can I be so fascinated by a woman I met for the first time?

Wang Xinghui thought of this, the expression on his face naturally revealed the resolute thoughts in his heart, and he wanted to get up and leave, but he secretly made up his mind a few times, and he still couldn't step up, in fact, every boy and girl who met the opposite sex when they first fell in love would be like him. Although Miss Lin and her friends rarely despise her, she is just Miss Lin's companion after all, and she usually gets along with them, after all, there is still a distinction between master and servant, somewhat uncomfortable, at this time, I saw Wang Xinghui's sword eyebrows, his eyes were full of admiration, and he couldn't help but be very grateful. Wang Xinghui didn't need to blame himself at all, he was desperately thinking about the listing of the Gathering Hall this morning, but Yang Xi's smiling face was reflected in her mind like a mirror, and he couldn't think about anything else at all. Yang Xi saw that there was a strange expression on his face, and immediately guessed his thoughts, she was afraid that Wang Xing would be sad, and said gently: "I heard you shouting like that in the forest alone just now, you must have something hidden in your heart!"

Wang Xinghui raised his head, once he changed the topic, he suddenly stopped being distracted, he said to Yang Xi: "Yes, I, I ......" But Yang Xi was just a girl who met for the first time, he didn't know how to talk about it for a while, and only stammered a few words of me.

Yang Xi asked again: "Is there a misunderstanding between you and your friends, is there a gap?"

Wang Xinghui looked at Yang Xi's face in a daze, and when he saw that Yang Xi was as incomprehensible as a blooming flower, he became more and more excited, his heart was pounding, and he muttered, "Friends?

Yang Xi's heart fluttered, and seeing that Wang Xing would speak sincerely, he looked into his eyes and said, "Yes, as long as you treat me as a friend, we will always be friends." ”

Wang Xinghui wanted to eat honey in his heart, he couldn't help but be so happy that he bit his lip, he took a deep breath, and said: "Between me and him, there should be more than friends, we are more like brothers, and we are brothers who were born and died together." ”

Yang Xi then asked: "Then what is the gap between you?" Wang Xinghui pondered for a while: "I can't tell, we drove away the bully on this mountain together, I originally thought that everyone on this mountain would live a good life in the future, and there was no barrier between everyone, just like a family ......" "What about the reality? Actually, you don't feel like a family, right?" Yang Xi asked.

"I don't know, I hope we will always be a family, but I always have a bad premonition, I don't know, what will happen in the future!"

Yang Xi was silent, fiddling with a bamboo tree in his hand, he was dazed, and after a while, he said: "Maybe although you were born and died together, but you were not born of the same mother after all, not relatives, not connected by blood, sometimes, you treat a person as your own family, he may not treat you as your own family like you." ”

Wang Xinghui sighed, muttering these few words, only to find that under Yang Xi's long eyelashes, there were a row of crystal clear teardrops, and he hurriedly asked: "You, what's wrong with you, do you miss your family? You have been away from home for a long time, right?" Yang Xi pursed her mouth, and a few tears finally fell, she shook her head and said: "I don't have a home, my father left me when I was very young, and then my mother also left me, and I don't have a home anymore." ”

Wang Xing saw the sad things that touched her, and felt extremely remorseful in his heart, looked at her blankly, and wanted to wipe her tears with his sleeves, but he thought that the clothes on his body were dirty, so he didn't dare to step forward, just tightly twisted the corners of his clothes.

The two sat quietly in the forest, Yang Xi sobbed quietly for a while, took out a silk handkerchief, gently wiped his tears, stood up and said, "I have to go back, they haven't seen me go back for so long, it's time to worry." Wang Xinghui said anxiously: "Ah, you, are you going back?" Yang Xi nodded and said: "Well, Miss Lin has always been in poor health, Young Master Liang, Young Master Jin, Young Master Xu, Miss Lu, they don't know how to boil porridge, Sister Huang Ling in the teahouse is very enthusiastic about us, but he doesn't have the time to take care of us, Young Master Xu thinks that the porridge made by the farmer's mother is not clean, so he refuses to drink Miss Lin, so he has to drink the porridge I boiled......" Yang Xi muttered. Wang Xinghui suddenly asked: "Miss Lin and Young Master Liang you are talking about, are they good to you, will they bully you?" Wang Xinghui also heard from his words that Yang Xi may be the servant girl of a big family, he originally wanted to say that they would treat you as their own family? But when he thought that Yang Xi had been sobbing for a long time just now, he must have felt something, and in a hurry, he wanted to know the grievances in Yang Xi's heart.

Yang Xi pursed his lips and smiled again, and said, "No, they never bully me, they are all very good to me, it's just me, I sometimes think about my parents." ”

Wang Xinghui himself is also an orphan, he empathizes with every word Yang Xi says, he feels very sorry for Yang Xi, and he doesn't know how to express it, his nose is sore, and he forcibly holds back the tears in his eyes. Yang Xi felt quite comforted in his heart, approached him, gently held his palm and said, "Just now you said that you are a little unhappy here, why don't you go out for a walk, look at the beautiful rivers and mountains everywhere, and feel sorry for yourself here." ”

Wang Xinghui bowed his head and was silent, Yang Xi suddenly wiped the corners of his eyes with the silk handkerchief, and said: "In case you go out alone, during the journey, you have to take care of yourself, don't give up on yourself, when you are unhappy, just think about me, this handkerchief, just put it next to you." As he spoke, he stuffed a silk handkerchief embroidered with Su embroidery into Wang Xinghui's hand.

Wang Xinghui raised his head and looked at Yang Xi excitedly, the tears on Yang Xi's face were not dry, it was really like a pear blossom with rain, beautiful and compelling. Yang Xi looked at him softly and said, "Now I really want to go back, take care of yourself." Smiled sweetly, the way he came, Wang Xinghui took a fancy to the silk handkerchief in his hand, on which a lark stood on the peach branch and was about to fly out;
