Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

Spring is coming and autumn is coming, the leaves are green and the leaves are yellow, the days go by so fast, and it's time to harvest autumn crops again.Tianxing and Xiao Banda went from Changbai Mountain to Niujiaogou Village, Heilongjiang to seek refuge with their fellow villagers, but they had nothing to do with each other. They could only do work for others, and their lives were very hard.Fortunately, the two depended on each other through hard life, and their relationship grew deeper and deeper, but there was sweetness in the bitterness, and they had survived for several years. This day, the two of them finished their work in the field, called it a day and went back to the house, and rested after dinner.Tianxing sat cross-legged on the kang, mending Xiao Banda's clothes, while Xiao Banda lay beside him watching.He watched Tianxing's big eyes flickering, and concentrated on threading the needle and thread. He thought it was very beautiful, so he had a whim, and said out of words: "As the saying goes, being a bachelor is suffering, and being a bachelor is suffering. Tell me, Tianxing, I have someone to mend my clothes, but no one to warm my bed, do I count as a bachelor?"

Tian Xing said: "Love is what it is!" She was busy at the moment, and one thread was used up, so she re-threaded the needle.The kerosene lamp was too small, and the room was very dark. The thread was thick and the needle had a small nose. It took Tianxing several times to put the thread through the eye of the needle. Little Banda saw Tianxing like this, touched the scene and said with a smile: "Tianxing, I will give you a riddle and you can guess it. Listen: one big lady is thin, five bachelors come to hug her waist, the young ones live, the old ones mess around .” When Tianxing heard this, he blushed and said, "Well, you little Banda dare to fool around with me, watch me prick your stinky mouth!"

Little Banda hurriedly got up and bowed to Tianxing: "Elder sister, please forgive me, elder sister, please forgive me, little bachelor, don't dare to talk nonsense anymore." Tianxing pursed his lips and smiled: "Forgive your dog's life!" Then he mended his clothes. Xiao Banda said: "Seriously, Tianxing, our matchmaker has also talked about it, the post has been posted, and the kiss has also been met. It's not consummated. What's the matter? Let's just say goodbye to heaven and earth, we really became a couple." Bar." Why doesn't Tianxing want to consummate the house?Over the past few years, Xiao Banda has turned red in the face of sorghum and grown into a man, and Tianxing has also turned into a plump and handsome big girl after she hung up the bell.The two of them often have moments of rubbing shoulders together, and Tianxing also has moments of restlessness.However, Tian Xing considered it more realistically. Right now, the two of them have no house or land, so what will they do for a living after getting married?Even if you have taken root after giving birth, how can you find your sisters and sisters?Tianxing said to Xiao Banda seriously: "Huzi doesn't believe it, so it's fine if you can't find it, but I have to find Tianhao and Tianyue. After we finish this autumn harvest and get our wages, let's go to Dalian to find me Sister, get married if you find it. Is this feasible?"

Xiao Banda said: "It's up to you, if you play tricks when the time comes, I will fight with you as an overlord." Tian Xing smiled and said: "Okay, it's a deal, I'll wait for you, the overlord!" Early the next morning, Tianxing, Xiao Banda and the villagers were harvesting crops. In the distance, in the green gauze tent, groups of heavily armed Japanese soldiers were gathering.Xiao Banda looked at the distance and said in surprise: "The devils want to clear the village and settle it! They want to build no-man's land in this area. The little devil wants to cut off the connection between the Anti-Japanese League and the common people."

Tianxing said: "I heard that when the village was cleared and the villages were merged, the people refused to leave. When the devils entered the village, they destroyed the crops, robbed the livestock, bombed the village with mortars, shot the people with machine guns, set fire to the houses, and killed everyone they saw." Just as he was talking, Xiao Banda suddenly screamed: "The devil is starting to shoot, run!" Xiao Banda pulled up Tianxing and ran like crazy. The cannon sounded, the villagers ran, and the children called their parents and mothers.Xiao Banda held Tianxing's hand and ran in the crowd. He and Tianxing just ran to the hillside when a shell exploded, and Xiao Banda passed out suddenly.After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Banda woke up. He was anxious to find Tianxing, but Tianxing was gone.Teams of Japanese soldiers marched in neat lines with bayonets in their hands, and the villagers retreated slowly under the pressure of the Japanese soldiers' bayonets.The villagers retreated to the river and had nowhere to go.Tianxing, who was with the villagers, looked back, and behind him was the surging water of the Heilongjiang River.The Japanese soldiers continued to advance with bayonets in their hands. The villagers retreated into the river, and the Japanese soldiers entered the water in a neat line.The villagers retreated into the waist-deep water, and the Japanese soldiers continued to force them with bayonets.

Tianxing shouted: "Folks, sooner or later you will die, let's fight!" Everyone turned around and rushed towards the Japanese. Xiao Banda was hiding on the hillside in the distance, seeing all this, his heart felt like a knife, but he was helpless.The Japanese soldiers came ashore, they picked up things, and then set fire to the village.Seeing the Japanese soldiers leaving the river, Xiao Banda ran down the hill like crazy. He jumped into the river, picked up Tianxing who was shot, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Tianxing, wake up!" Tianxing opened his eyes. Opening his eyes, he said weakly: "Brother, help me..." Xiao Banda picked up Tianxing on his back, waded through the river step by step, and went up to the bank of the river.

Tianxing's life is really great, she was rescued by Xiao Banda, she did not die.The two poor people had nowhere to live, so they found an abandoned cabin by the river to live temporarily.Fortunately, when they escaped, they still had a little money earned from part-time jobs with them, so they were able to make ends meet. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones.Tianxing suffered a gunshot wound on his shoulder, and was soaked in the river again. The infection festered and he did not recover for several months.Seeing that the severe winter is approaching, and it is freezing and snowy outside, their little money has already been exhausted, and life is becoming more and more difficult.

With tears in his eyes, Tianxing said: "Brother, I can survive because of you. I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime!" Xiao Banda said: "What nonsense are you talking about? We kowtowed to the sky Brother and sister, didn’t you save my life? Go to sleep for a while, I’ll find some work in the village.” Xiao Banda shrugged and went to the village, walking slowly on the road of the village street, an old man who picked up dung came with a dung basket.Xiao Banda went up to meet him and asked, "Grandpa, may I ask, is there anyone in our village who wants to hire workers?"

The old man said: "Son, in this time of war and chaos, plus it's winter, it's winter. Who hires workers? I know there is no such village. Let's go to other villages to see." Little Banda looked at the old man. The melancholy of the face.The old man felt sorry for the little Banda, and he said: "My child, it seems that you have not recited any spells. Let me show you a way to survive. This forest is very big, and the Daur people live here by hunting. If you can hunt, you can Go into the woods, if you hunt big animals, you can deal with it this winter." Xiao Banda went back to the hut and told Tianxing about going hunting, Tianxing also thought it was a way out.After simple preparations, Xiao Banda started hunting in the woods.

One day, Xiao Banda stepped into the woods with the animal trap on his back. As he was walking, his foot was caught in the animal trap.A Daur boy came from a hiding place with a roe deer on his back.Little Banda shouted: "Hey, what kind of hunter are you, why are you still trapping people?" The hunter said: "Who told you to sneak around in the woods? Wild animals know how to avoid beast traps. You are like a silly roe deer. If you don't trap you, you will trap anyone." ?” The young man was very friendly, and took out moose jerky for Xiao Banda to eat.Little Banda was reluctant to eat by himself, so he put the jerky in his bosom for Tianxing to eat.The young man felt that Xiao Banda was very pitiful, so he gave the whole roe deer he had killed to Xiao Banda.

Xiao Banda thanked him sincerely, and left with the roe deer on his shoulders. As soon as he walked out of the forest, he ran into the forest police.He hid in a hurry, and several Japanese forest policemen had already seen him with their wolf dogs on their hands. The Japanese shouted from the bolt: "Stop!" , Xiao Banda dropped the roe deer and ran away. Xiao Banda ran back to the cabin in a panic, and told Tianxing about the hunting process in a panting manner.Tian Xing said: "Brother, don't take any more risks, I feel uneasy when you are not in front of my eyes." Xiao Banda said: "This trip was not in vain, I was given a lot of dried moose meat, you can eat it." He took out the dried meat from his pocket and handed it to Tianxing. "Brother, have you eaten yet?" Xiao Banda patted his stomach and said, "Me? I'm full." Tianxing chewed the jerky: "Ah, it's so delicious!" At this time, the old man who picked up dung led a middle-aged man into the cabin, and the old man asked: "I heard gunshots in the woods, did you meet the Japanese police?" It’s gone.” The old man pointed to the person who came and said, “My buddy is named Cui. I heard that you brother and sister can’t live anymore. I want to find a job for you. You can see if you can do it and discuss it with him.” Let's go. "My name is Cui Dexiang, you can just call me Lao Cui. We know each other now. It's the first time we meet. It's a little tricky. Don't be fooled." Lao Cui said and handed Xiao Banda a small bag of rice.Little Banda said, "Uncle Cui, you haven't worked yet. How can you accept your things? What kind of work do you want me to do?" Old Cui said: "That's what happened. I heard that your brother and sister have no family and no job. How did you survive here? Do you dare to be Jiang Shangfei for me?" Xiao Banda: "Jiang Shangfei? What is it for? ?” Old Cui said: "It is to sell goods across the river to the other side. You help me sell salt and goods on the other side, and I will pay you." Xiao Banda hurriedly asked: "Is the river going well?" Old Cui smiled coldly: "It would be better if everyone went to do it. This side is guarded by the Japanese army, and the other side is guarded by Lao Maozi. If you can fly over half a mile from the river, you can kill the salt dealer." If you come back, you can make a fortune and survive." Xiao Banda asked a little strangely: "How did you find me?" Old Cui said with a sullen face: "To tell you the truth, Jiang Shangfei is a very dangerous business. Many people have done it before, but since the Japanese came, it has become more and more difficult. They don't want to fly anymore. Some of them have to pay for it." If it's too high, I won't make a profit. I think you are pitiful, if you don't ask for a high price, play your life for me." Xiao Banda nodded: "I understand that this is exchanging life for money. There is no other way of life anyway, okay, I will do it for you!" Tian Xing said anxiously: "Brother, you can't do the job of exchanging life for money, I won't let you go !" Old Cui said: "Your sister disagrees, why don't I find someone else?" Xiao Banda said: "Don't listen to her, she will die if I don't do it, I have the final say on this matter!" Old Cui said: "Well then, come to me tonight." In the middle of the night, the snow was gloomy and cold, and there was no sound. Old Cui and Xiao Banda drove the snow sledge to the riverside, and the horses' noses were blowing white air.Old Cui confessed in a low voice: "I'll tell you the truth, you are running an order, and you are alone, but don't be afraid, there will be someone to meet you when you cross the river." , I don’t know what they say.” Lao Cui said: “Don’t worry, you are also Chinese, I have already paid the money, you just need to bring the freight, and I told you the code words for the joint, don’t forget.” Old Cui and Xiao Banda hid in a hidden place by the river, their eyes fixed on the thickly frozen river.After the patrolling Japanese passed by, Lao Cui took out a white quilt and put them on both Xiao Banda and the horse. He said, "Now that the Japanese have just passed by, let's go, have a good trip, and wait for your good news!" Little Banda drove the snow sledge fast, but the snow sled hit an ice bump, and Little Banda rolled off the snow sledge, but he got up again and caught up with the snow sledge. A few men pointed at the river, they were the Jiang Gang in this section of the river.They all saw what happened to Xiao Banda on the river.One Jiang Gang said: "Old Cui did it again, this person is a lonesome person, find him to settle the score!" Another Jiang Gang said: "Don't go to him, this Old Cui has something to do with Mopanshan's beard, we Let’s settle the bill with the person who placed the order.” Brother Zhao said: "I'll go! This pot of soup was muddied by him!" It was midnight, and Lao Cui paced anxiously at home, listening to the movement outside from time to time.Suddenly, a horse neighed outside, and Lao Cui hurried out of the house.He came to the yard and saw that it was Xiao Banda who came back with a snow sledge, which was carrying several bags of salt.Xiao Banda was so bruised that his head fell off the snow sledge.Old Cui said pleasantly: "Xiao Banda, you are really good, you succeeded!" He helped him into the house. Old Cui let Xiao Banda drink a bowl of wine, then pointed to a bag of grain on the ground and said, "This is your wages, how about it? Is it suitable? Save it, it will be enough for you two for half a month." Xiao Banda He said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle." He left Lao Cui's house with the food on his shoulders. Xiao Banda staggered back carrying the food and fell to the ground.Looking at Xiao Banda, who was covered with scars and almost frozen to death, Tianxing hugged him and cried, "Brother, you are back, my heart is in my throat! I will never let you go again!" Xiao Banda said with a hippie smile: "What's the use of crying? Are you tempted? If you are really tempted, let's sleep together in the same bed tonight. If this is the case, it will be worth it next time I die!" Tian Xing let go of his hug Xiao Banda's hand said: "That's not okay, if I don't see my sister, I will definitely not marry you." The two were talking, when they heard the chaos outside, it seemed that a lot of people had come, so they hurried out to have a look.It turned out that a group of Jiang Shangfei came looking for trouble. They not only smashed their homes, but also injured Xiao Banda. A man said: "Boy, Ming people don't do secret things. Let me tell you, we are Jiang Ye's people. This is our territory. Eighteen routes fly up and down the river. Each has its own territory and its own way. Hurry up!" Get out of here!" Enough tossing, the group whistled, jumped on the snow sledge and left. The days passed so quickly, and it was winter in the blink of an eye.It was a good day to go to the Buyunxiang shoe shop in Fuxingli to do some work, so I quickly put on a scarf and left the house.She came outside Buyunxiang's shoe store, and saw that the door of the shoe store was sealed.She hurriedly asked a common neighbor next to the shoe store, and the neighbor told Tianhao that the owner of the shoe store, Mr. Qin, had committed some crime and was taken away by the Japanese Gendarmerie. The job of making shoes, how will the two sisters live in the future?She walked blindly and aimlessly on the street as the snow fell more and more. She took shelter under the eaves of a house temporarily, thinking about what to do in the future. Suddenly, Tianhao saw Old Zheng, the head of the gang, leading a group of men across the street, she thought for a while, and then followed the group.People came to the door where the funeral was held, Lao Zheng led the people into the yard, and Tianhao followed.Lao Zheng found out that Tianhao, and asked her not to follow this kind of excitement, so as not to get bad luck.Tian Hao said that arranging the death of the undead is a good deed, and there will be no bad luck.Lao Zheng felt that Tianhao could speak, so he stopped blocking him. An old lady died in the funeral home, and the family only knew how to cry, and they didn't dare to change the old lady's shroud.Old Zheng wanted to help, but the bereaved family said that it was inappropriate for a man to change the old lady's shroud, which was very difficult.Tianhao came forward and said that she could do this. In fact, Tianhao changed her shroud when her mother died, and she could do this.Tianhao did a good job, and the bereaved family rewarded him with money.Old Zheng was not happy, and said that this was "prying".Tianhao said that she was helping out, she didn't need money, just a meal, and Lao Zheng agreed. In the heavy snow that was flying all over the sky, Tianhao supported the mourner's family members and followed the team of bearers up the mountain.The man carrying the bar carried the coffin and walked with difficulty.The fourth child suddenly staggered and said, "No, I have a stomachache." Lao Zheng became angry: "What are you doing? Withdraw your legs at this time? No, you have to push me down!" The fourth child said painfully: "Boss , I really can't do it!" Tianhao said: "Uncle Zheng, let me come." Old Zheng doubted: "You can do it?" Tianhao said: "Yes!" Old Zheng had no choice but to agree.Tianhao took over the pole and started on the road. She walked with difficulty, but she walked down step by step. After the grave was buried, Lao Zheng shared the money with everyone, and he also shared a share with Tianhao.Tianhao only took a few and said, "Uncle, I don't want so many, just enough for my sisters to eat today." Old Zheng said: "You girl is not greedy. Take it all. I know how much you should share. In the future, don't get involved in such things. If it spreads badly, how can you marry?" Let everyone go. Tianhao rushed up and said: "Uncle, to be honest, I am also forced to do nothing, please, let me join your Gangzi Gang, I also have a younger sister, the two of them have to live." Old Zheng said in amazement: "You? A girl, join our group? Even if you don't care about fame, what can you do? Carrying coffins into funerals is a job that men are afraid of. Can you continue?" Tian Hao gritted his teeth and said, "I can do anything to survive!" Old Zheng sighed and said: "Look at this world, how hard people are being pushed! Well, if you can endure hardship, you can do it with uncle. But if you really want to do this, you have to change into men's clothing." .” When it was time to light the lamps, Tian Hao dragged his tired body into the house and lay down on the kang.Tianyue pushed Tianhao with a crying sound: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Tianhao didn't respond.Tianyue continued to call: "Sister, speak up, don't scare me!" Tianhao sat up and said, "Tianyue, the business of making shoes is gone. Boss Qin was taken away by the Gendarmerie and the shoe shop was sealed up." Tianyue said with a sad face, "What should I do? What will I rely on for food in the future?" Tianhao said: "Aren't I worrying about it? How about this? We two go out to beg for food tomorrow, and we can't just starve to death." Tianyue opened her eyes wide and said, "Begging? I won't do it, I'd rather starve to death than I will do." !" Tianhao looked at Tianyue and smiled: "We have three sisters, you are young and beautiful, how about you follow sister-in-law Cuiyu and invite some men to come to your house? There is food and drink, and you don't have to work hard. How wonderful." Tianyue blushed The thick neck said: "Sister, what are you talking about! You are still a sister, so you can say such things!" Tianhao said: "You say you, beg for food, can't wipe your face, do that, but don't want to, what do you say? manage?" Tianyue cried: "Sister, there is really no way out for us? What should we do?" Tian Hao raised his feet and said, "Don't cry, take off your sister's shoes and have a look, something has padded me One day, it made me uncomfortable." Tianyue took off Tianhao's shoes, took out a wad of money, and asked pleasantly: "Sister, this is money, where did it come from?" Tianhao smiled and pretended to be confused: "Really? Yeah Not a lot, where did it come from?" Tianyue knocked down Tianhao suddenly: "Okay sister, you made money, make me happy!" The two sisters rolled into a ball on the kang. The two of them had had enough trouble, and Tianyue asked seriously: "Sister, how did you earn the money?" Tianhao said, "Sister found a rich family and worked as a nanny for them. In the future, we sisters will have a job." gone." That's how Tianhao got into this business with Old Zheng, the head of the gang.Dressed in men's clothing, she carried the coffin like a man, and it was really strenuous.Lifting the coffin is an average force, whichever direction is weak, the coffin will be deflected, and you must grit your teeth to level the strength.One day, Tianhao's legs went limp and he knelt down on one knee, and happened to hit a stone, and blood came out from his knee. Fortunately, Lao Zheng quickly turned the bar around, and nothing happened. On this day, after paying homage to the dead, the head of the funeral left, and the sky looked good that there was pig head meat in the offerings, so he picked up a piece of burnt paper with a yellow watch, wrapped a piece of pig head inside, and took it back to his sister to eat. It was getting dark, and when the weather was fine, she came back with a tired body. She threw a bag of things on the table and said, "I brought some pork head meat, let's eat it tonight." She threw her head on the kang again. Tianyue asked with concern: "Sister, what kind of nanny are you doing? You are so tired every day." Tianhao said: "The work in this family is tiring, but the wages are high." Tianyue was shocked when she found out her sister's knee injury. Called: "Sister, what's wrong with your knee?" Tianhao smiled lightly: "It's okay, I fell down." Tianyue was very skeptical: "Sister, tell the truth, have you gone out to work as a coolie?" Tianhao said: "Nonsense, what kind of coolie are you selling, is the meal ready? Eat!" She sat up at once, went to the dining table and sat down to eat and said : "My sister told you that the family who hired me, sir, is in business, so they treated me very well." After eating, Tianyue supported Tianhao to lie down on the kang with distress, and brought water to wash her feet.Tian is so funny: "My little sister just loves others. If anyone marries you in the future, enjoy the blessings!" Tianyue washed her sister's feet and said, "If I don't marry for the rest of my life, I will guard you." Hao said: "How can there be a girl who will never marry?" He snored as he spoke.Tianyue wiped her sister's feet, looked at her sister's knee injury, and burst into tears.She went back to the table, picked up the burnt paper wrapped with pork head, looked at it blankly and thought to herself, sister must not be a nanny, and she must find a way to understand it tomorrow. The next day, Tianhao went out to work early in the morning, and Tianyue quietly followed behind.Tianyue followed all the way to the door of the bereaved master's house, and watched Tianhao and the gang gang carry the coffin on the road with their own eyes.Tianyue walked home with tears in her eyes. In the evening, Tianyue cooked the meal, sat there watching the meal and wept silently.Tianhao came back happily and said: "Little sister, I'm back, let's see what delicious food my sister brought you again." Tianyue didn't move, still crying there.Tianhao was feeling strange, Tianyue suddenly hugged her sister and cried loudly: "Sister, I know everything, let's not do that anymore, you can ask me to do anything!" Tianhao hugged his younger sister and said, "Do you think my sister is embarrassing for you? My sister didn't steal or rob, and she ate with her strength. There is nothing to be ashamed of. As long as my sister is here, I won't let you go hungry! Remember Hold on, the spine of a person is born straight, and it cannot be bent under the pressure of hard times, but it is one's own heart that can bend it..." Tianyue cried and said: "Sister, I will go with you tomorrow, I can't let you suffer alone!" Tianhao yelled angrily: "Shut up! You will marry in the future, how can you find your husband's family in this line of business?" Tianyue cried: "What about you? Are you not going to marry?" Tianhao said: " I have been married before, and Chunhai will come to find me!" Tianyue cried and said, "Sister, you are suffering too much, and my heart hurts!" Tianhao said, "Okay, crying makes people upset, am I doing well? Is it? When I die, you can report to the temple for me!" Boss Qin of Buyunxiang shoe store is Wei Demin, an underground worker of the Communist Party.After he was captured by the Japanese gendarmerie, the shoe shop was also closed.Cao Xunzheng was very anxious when he found out. He could not rescue Wei Demin alone, so he decided to report to the organization and work together to find a solution. Cao Xunbu and the God of Fire Lao Qiu took over.Cao Xunbu said with emotion: "What a tough guy, the military police tried everything against him, but he just didn't open his mouth. We have to find a way to rescue him." Lao Qiu said: "I raised a sum of money, you Hurry up and find a way to go to the gendarmerie to clear it up, and don’t send it to Lushun Prison, where it will be too late.” Cao Xunzu decided to use his acquaintance with Wang Xianbu of the gendarmerie to open up the joints.When it was dark, Cao Xunbu came to wait near the gate of the gendarmerie.After a while, Wang Xianbu walked out of the gate. Cao Xunbu hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Wang Xianbu, are you free?" Wang Xianbu asked strangely: "Old Cao? Why are you here?" Cao Xunbu said in a low voice: "I have something to do with you Let's go, there is a tavern over there, please drink a pot for your face." Wang Xianbu said: "My brothers, who is with whom, I invite you." The two entered the tavern, sat down in a secluded corner, and began to drink slowly. Cao Xuncun said: "I have a fellow named Wei Demin. I don't know what he did. He was arrested by your gendarmerie. His old lady came to me crying and insisted on me. He said, I won't help you. She hanged herself right in front of my house, and I was so entangled that I couldn't help it, so I asked you for help." Wang Xianbu shook his head and said, "You mean Wei Demin? He was the one who set fire to it. It's hard to get it out." Cao Xunbu said in a low voice, "It's not difficult, why should I ask you? They won't let you work in vain." He took out the money and handed it to Wang Xianbu from under the table, "You take this money first. Thanks a lot." Wang Xianbu said truthfully: "Don't do this, I will definitely not be able to fish out people, and I can't take money." Cao Xunbu said: "Whether you can fish out is another matter, as long as you try your best. " Wang Xianbu then took the money: "If you want to say that, I will hold the money first, and if I can get involved, I will try my best to help." Xiao Banda couldn't go out after being injured, so he could only recuperate in the cabin.Tian Xing's gunshot wound was pretty good. She kept her word and was determined to become Jiang Shangfei. Xiao Banda said: "Are you crazy? Jiang Shangfei, few men dare to do it, you are a woman, don't you want to die? You can't go, wait until I recover from my injury!" Tian Xing looked at death and said, "I have nothing to eat, and I can't afford to ask the doctor to get the medicine. What are you doing? If we wait like this, we're both going to die. I'm going to make a run for it!" Brother Zhao came to Lao Cui's house and negotiated with him about Jiang Shangfei.Brother Zhao said: "Old Cui, horses have their own way, and donkeys have their own way. They each go their own way. This is the rule of flying on the river. How can you break the rule?" Old Cui said: "Brother Zhao, I have no bad rules. Don't listen to people who are foolish and put maggots in my bowl. With your prestige and loyalty on the river, Brother Zhao, I can't do that kind of harm. thing." Brother Zhao said sharply: "You are still talking nonsense, did you let the little boy who just settled here sell salt on the other side of the river? For the U-turn business, you only gave him a bag of rice, which is black enough! "Old Cui is still denying: "Brother Zhao, I have been wronged..." She said: "I want to sell salt on the other side!" Brother Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Tianxing in amazement.Old Cui widened his eyes, and said to Tianxing: "What are you talking about? You are a girl who wants to be Jiang Shangfei? Are you talking nonsense? No, this is a man's job, don't meddle in it!" Tian Xing said sincerely: "I don't want to get involved, but my brother is sick, we can't wait to die like this!" Brother Zhao also persuaded: "Girl, I advise you, this is not a joke!" Tian Xing said: "Our lives are worthless, let's play around! Survival is the most important thing, I don't care about it." Old Cui looked at Big Brother Zhao's face and said, "I can't give you a job any more. We did it in private. People in the gang knew about it. I can't forgive you. Ask Big Brother Zhao, I've already committed a crime in the gang. rule." Brother Zhao said very seriously: "I'll give you a word, Jiang Shangfei, Jiang Shangfei, ten people go, one person returns! You should weigh it carefully." After saying that, he went out and left Lao Cui's house. Tian Xing looked at Brother Zhao's back as he disappeared in the snowstorm and said, "I am determined to fly on the river." Old Cui thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll give you another chance, but you must not let Brother Zhao know!" Tianxing really flew to deliver goods to Lao Cui.In the middle of the night, the north wind was howling on the river, and Tianxing was lurking on the snow-capped river, wearing a white sheet. Just as she was about to take action, a group of Japanese soldiers patrolling the river came, and she had no choice but to lie down on the river again.After the Japanese soldiers left, Tianxing wanted to cross the river, but she couldn't get up. Her body was frozen and stuck to the ice.Tianxing cried, she knew that in this mysterious night, she would be frozen to death soon.At this moment, a person came over, Tianxing looked at the figure in the wind and snow, hope appeared in his heart.Brother Zhao is here.Tianxing shivered and shouted: "Brother, help me!" Brother Zhao walked up to him and took a look: "It really is you! Are you crazy? In this weather, you dare to fly to the river?" As he spoke, he shoveled the ice with a crowbar, lifted up the sky star, put on the snow sledge, and drove The horse left the river. Brother Zhao drove the sledge to the cabin, carried Tianxing into the cabin and put it on the kang, then turned around and went out, walked in again, brought a handful of snow, and rubbed Tianxing's face with the snow. After a while, Tianxing Then he regained his strength and said, "My mother, I'm freezing to death!" Xiao Banda reluctantly got up, cried and said: "I won't let you do it, you will fight to the death and work hard, do you know how good you are this time?" Big brother Zhao asked: "Is it the job given by Lao Cui again?" head.Brother Zhao said: "How can you do it for him? This man is not particular about his behavior. There is no one in the Jiang Gang to take him to work. If you really want to do it, I will introduce you to the Jiang Gang. If you do this job, you will definitely not be able to do it alone." When Xiao Banda's injury was almost healed, Brother Zhao took Tianxing and Xiao Banda to find Jiang Gang.Xiao Banda took two bottles of wine and two chickens as a meeting gift, and was led by Brother Zhao to Moshitun by the Jiehe River to meet the second master Gong, the boss of the Jiang Gang. Brother Zhao walked up to Second Master Gong, cupped his hands and said, "Second Master Gong, I have made two new friends and I have no way out. I want to join you at the pier, please let me introduce you." "Second Master Gong, there is no other way to survive, please help." Tian Xing wore a big leather hat with ear protectors, he couldn't distinguish between men and women, but when he spoke, he revealed a feminine accent.Gong Erye was stunned and said: "Why, you are still a girl?" Xiao Banda said: "She is my sister." Tianxing said: "What's wrong with women? Women also have to eat." Second Master Gong nodded and said: "Okay, as long as you have your words, if you want to join me, you have to join the gang. The rules of joining the gang will be explained in detail later, and there is one thing that needs to be explained first. You can fly on the river at my dock." , Every time you do a job, you must pay a share of the money. Also, you are not allowed to mess around with the job, and you are not allowed to pick up the goods privately, and you must follow the arrangement of the gang. Only in this way can everyone take care of each other and have food to eat." Tian Xing and Xiao Ban Darien agreed with each other. In the middle of the night, Tianxing and Xiao Banda drove the snow sledge to the edge of the Heilongjiang River, and they wanted to sell things on the other side.Tian Xing said worriedly: "Brother, didn't Second Master Gong say that you are not allowed to mess around with your work, and you are not allowed to take goods privately, you must follow the arrangement of the gang. If we accept private work, Second Master Gong will punish us if he finds out." Xiao Ban Da said: "Don't listen to his threats. If you listen to his arrangement, you have to pay the share. How much can we get if you pay the share?" The two found a place to hide.It was midnight, and the two of them were shivering with cold.The devil's patrol team finally left, Xiao Banda whispered: "The opportunity is here, let's go!" The two drove the snow sledge and flew towards the river.Unexpectedly, the patrol came back suddenly, the devils shouted, and the two ran desperately with the snow sledge.The devil opened fire, and the horse was shot and fell down. The two abandoned the snow sledge and ran away desperately. Tianxing and Xiao Banda ran back to the cabin in a panic, and Xiao Banda was still in shock: "It's really dangerous. If we run a step slower, we will both die!" Tianxing complained: "The goods are gone, and the horse is dead. Why? Explain to the owner?" Xiao Banda said: "It's okay, it's all agreed, and the risks are shared." However, Second Master Gong has eyeliner, so how could he hide what Xiao Banda and Tianxing did?Several snow pears flying on the river came and stopped in front of the cabin.Second Master Gong stood at the door and shouted: "Little Banda, get out!" Tianxing and Xiao Banda walked out of the cabin. Xiao Banda pretended to be calm and said: "Oh, it's Second Master Gong. What's the matter when you come early in the morning?" Second Master Gong's face was full of anger: "What's the matter? Obeying gang rules, not to mention taking jobs in private, and stepping on our mountain road, this is obviously trying to lure devils into our village, how can you be at ease!" Tianxing rushed forward to make amends: "Second Master Gong, I'm sorry, we did this wrong, please forgive us for being young and ignorant." Second Master Gong was still angry: "Cats have cat ways, dogs have dog ways. Do it, it will bring a catastrophe to Jiang Shangfei in our village, you know?" Xiao Banda said: "Second Master Gong, I've already finished the matter. What do you think about it?" finger." Brother Zhao separated from the crowd to mediate: "Second Master Gong, these two young people have just debuted, and they don't understand the rules of the gang, so let's take it lightly, beat them up, and it will be even more difficult for them to survive if they lose their fingers. "Second Master Gong didn't back down: "That won't work, the rules must be followed after they are established, and no one can intercede!" Tianxing cried: "Second Master Gong, please forgive us this time, we dare not do it again!" Second Master Gong said firmly: "It's useless to beg for mercy, let's do it." Tianxing and Xiao Banda shrank back with. Brother Zhao really couldn't bear to watch it: "Second Master Gong, everyone has children, but whoever has a way to survive can eat this bowl of rice? I introduced them to the pier, and I am also responsible for breaking the rules. Well, I will sacrifice Five bags of salt, even if you offend the two of them, this little face should be given, right?" Second Master Gong stopped insisting, and sighed: "Actually, I can't bear it either, but I can't just break the gang rules. Since you intercede, I can't help but let it go." Turning back to the Jiang gang, "Killing people is nothing more than a nod. Now that they have accepted the punishment, let them go!" Jiang's gang drove the snow sledge away. Tian Xing was in shock and said: "My mother, I was scared to death! Brother Zhao, thank you for saving our lives again." Brother Zhao sighed: "You two, why do you have to eat this bowl of rice? You are bad After breaking Jiang Shangfei's rules, it's hard to stay here any longer, listen to me, let's go!" Xiao Banda said stubbornly: "We're not going anywhere, and we still have to eat this bowl of rice!" Tian Xing also said: "Brother Zhao, it's not that we don't want to go, we really have nowhere to go." Brother Zhao became angry: "Don't go? I see if you can go!" Said, driving the snow sledge towards the two of them. The two avoided, but were finally driven away by Brother Zhao's snow sledge.
