Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Magnolia

The seven Lao Dans packed their bags, joined Huang Gui, the second leader, quietly left Yueyang, bypassed the city defense positions of the guards, headed south to Changsha, then rode all the way west, and returned to Huangjiachong exhausted.The old man Huang heard that the boys had come back alive, so he rushed out in a coat, but when he saw that Ma San was gone, his face turned the color of bacon, and his eye sockets instantly dimmed. "Suicide? What's the matter? What a motherfucker, Ma San, you're playing with me for nothing, why are you acting like a bitch?" The old man Huang murmured to Cangshan.He was not as painful as Lao Dan expected, he was sad for a moment, but he still ordered his minions to prepare food and wine.He patted the second master and said that he would get drunk before resting.Xu Yulan stood not far away, jealous that Old Man Huang was here, so she dared not approach.The old man Huang waved at her, and she immediately came over bouncing her chest.

"I knew you were destined. You can come back alive, and you can't die if you want to." Xu Yulan opened her mouth without restraint.The old man Huang stared at her viciously, and the little sex gangster looked at Lao Dan stupidly, but Lao Dan didn't know how to answer in a daze.The second son was still thinking, stretched out his mouth and said: "The third master doesn't know, my brother Dan has escaped several times, and every time he is definitely going to be killed by the devil, brother Dan will shout: I am the third master here!" , who dares to do something reckless? The devil's legs are weak when he hears it. If it weren't for this, Brother Dan would not be able to die even if he had nine lives."

Lao Dan gave him a slap, and smiled at Xu Yulan: "How dare you not come back before inviting you back? Thank you, Third Master, for your concern." Xu Yulan snorted, and stood aside with her hands behind her back.The old man Huang grabbed Lao Dan and walked to the front, and said softly: "You are not here these days, I will train you a bit, and she will not torment you anymore." "What's the old man talking about? It's just wine and chili peppers. What kind of fuss is this?" Lao Dan couldn't help but think of the wolfhound in the toilet, and trembled all over his body.

"If I don't care about her, she can pierce the sky... Well, in the final analysis, she is also a hard-working person. In the sky and on the earth, she is only my relative." "Where are her parents?" Lao Dan had never heard her story. "Dead at the hands of the red bandits, they were said to be bandits... Her parents are really not, it's just that the family has dozens of acres of land, and they raised a few soldiers to prevent the poor from robbing the crops. The red bandits came five years ago , greeted the poor ghosts, and chopped off the heads of her parents and two older brothers in front of Yulan..."

It was the first time for Lao Dan to see Mrs. Huang speaking so heavily and softly. Perhaps the departure of Captain Mazi had affected him.Lao Dan was startled when he heard this, what kind of world is this?Well, this, what is a red bandit again?Communist Party? "Yulan was only in her teens that year. The river was almost stained red with blood. Headless corpses floated down, swirling in the water, as if they were still alive..." This scene is so familiar, Lao Dan thinks of the Yellow River, and worries, what is the difference between the cruelty of the invaders and the cruelty of the compatriots?

Mazimei ran nervously and ran into them on the mountain road.Lao Dan folded his hands in a daze.Old Man Huang frowned, and said simply: "Your brother is dead, he can't come back, you can stay here from now on." Mazimei cried so loudly that the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, startling the birds, big and small, in the forest.Old Man Huang was expressionless.Lao Dan squatted in front of her, holding her tearful hand.Everyone was blocked on the road by the crying, neither passing nor stopping.Lao Dan didn't know how to comfort the poor girl, her eyes felt sore, but she couldn't shed any more tears.Yulan came from behind, bent over and hugged Mazimei, and wiped her red eyes with a handkerchief.Lao Dan was surprised to see the tears in Yulan's eyes, they were crystal clear, like the water from the old well in Banzi Village in spring.

"A person has only one life. Living is not necessarily easy, and dying is not necessarily suffering. Don't take it too seriously. Ma San confessed his life like this. He is not a hero, but he is not a coward. You go this trip, brotherhood After all, he will know when Ma San is gone. He is gone, and you will follow me from now on. This Huangjiachong is your home! No matter if the devils come or go, whether it is the red bandits or the robbers, you will stay here honestly. Wait, whoever comes will fuck with the dog, beat him away and drink our wine! You can't be like Ma San, who has fought a foolish battle for half a lifetime, and for what in the end... cock ideals, cock serving the country, just like I can't make it through...is it worth dying like this?"

The old man Huang started to cry while talking, and a young man came over to help him with a handkerchief, but he slapped him and staggered. "Remember, don't believe in any country. There is no country in China. If you want to believe in it, you should believe in your own family, your own brothers and sisters, and the gun in your hand... I cried for Ma San, and I will never do it again. Cry, you are not allowed, go up the mountain! Drink!" That night, many people got drunk.Lao Dan made himself a mess, he wanted to forget many things in the past six months, he wanted to live well in this mountain.

The tomb stands on a hill full of cypress trees behind Huangjiachong, and there is a thin stream of water under the hill.This is the treasure land of geomantic omen left by Mr. Huang.Lao Dan and his brothers built this fake grave, and piled up some soil bags of different sizes beside it.The Erdang family led the bandits to carry large stones, built a fence for the cemetery, and built a path down the mountain.After the grave was repaired, Lao Dan asked Mr. Huang what to do with the tombstone.The old man Huang waved his hand and said that he didn't want that thing, we knew he was there, that's enough.Worship is the same as cultivating Buddha, it is in the heart but not in the body. After I die, you don't want to leave a tombstone.Lao Dan stuck Commander Mazi's saber in front of the tomb, and several medals were hung on it.Mazimei sat in front of her brother's tomb without crying, making noise, eating or drinking. After three days and three nights, Xu Yulan had someone carry her down.Lao Dan and his brothers stood neatly in front of the tomb in military uniform, served wine, saluted, fired guns, and shed tears.Xu Yulan asked people to plant a large piece of azalea, called the sorceress to recite the magic spell, and lit incense.When the moon was full again, green grass began to grow out of the grave, and butterflies surrounded it one by one. Lao Dan knew that the brothers had slept peacefully.Lao Dan took off his military uniform, took his six brothers with baskets on their backs, rolled up their trousers, even put on their headscarves, learned to smoke hookah in the mountains, tied fresh bacon around their waists, and became authentic mountain people.Lao Dan waited and went back and forth, earning enough respect from Huang Jiachong's people, and the bandit soldiers became well-behaved in front of him. Xu Yulan began to blush when she saw him, and she often bought good shredded tobacco, and sometimes she even lit it herself.

The second son said, the brothers seemed to be living a life like a fairy, with wine, meat, land and soldiers, but there were no women.Lao Dan said that there are not many women in Huang Jiachong, but no one likes you, a bum. Lao Dan was often worried about his second son. His injured eye was basically blind, and his pupils were always dilated. Women were afraid when they saw him, and this daughter-in-law was not easy to marry.The second master got the second son a cowhide blindfold, saying that he got it from the leader of another village. The second son was quite dignified after wearing it, so he decided not to take it off. The bandits called him "Second Brother One-Eyed".This domineering name shocked Lao Dan, so he asked them what they call me?The second son tilted his head contemptuously and said, "They call you... old black man, I don't know who gave it to you..."

Lao Dan trained the bandits to kill each one with sword skills, but he never thought that he would be given such a nickname, so he simply made it more black, asking them to practice big swords with adobe on their backs, and practice rope climbing with their hands tied.The bandit soldiers were trained to complain, but they didn't make his nickname clear, but became "old black dick".When Xu Yulan heard about it, she was going to strip off the gangsters with nicknames and paint them with asphalt. Lao Dan hurriedly stopped them and asked the second son to take them to throw grenades.Xu Yulan said that Lao Dan had robbed her of her job, and it is likely that the position of the third head will be given up to him.Lao Dan panicked and quickly invited her to drink, saying that if he wanted to, he would let your big wolf dog eat me. Xu Yulan was quite worried about Ma Zimei's condition, saying that the girl looked tough but was as soft as tofu inside.Lao Dan was also worried, so she asked if she could find him a... man?Xu Yulan said that despite her ugly appearance, people in the mountains still look down on her, and she even looks down on Huang Yidao, who likes her.Seeing Xu Yulan staring at him with pouted chest, Lao Dan knew that she was thinking wildly, so he said that if he didn't let the second son figure out a way, this kid has been holding back for so many years, and now he would be happy to see the sow hugging her buttocks. Yulan asked about Lao Dan's family, but Lao Dan didn't want to talk about it, and asked her how to do farm work in the south?How should herbs be picked?How should buffalo be fed?How should bamboo be cut?Seeing that Xu Yulan answered every question, he boldly asked why her man dared to leave the Huang family and rush to Changsha to join the army?Yulan was furious when she heard this, she looked like a cannibal woman, slapped her face with a wave of her hand, jumped up and walked away.She dropped a shoe at Lao Dan's feet, and Lao Dan hurriedly told her to stop, but the woman left with one bare foot.Lao Dan hurriedly asked the little sex bandit to chase after him with the cloth shoe embroidered with orchids, and he couldn't do without a slap in the face.Lao Dan looked at Xu Yulan who was furious, and felt heavy emotion in his heart, who doesn't have some dick worries in this dick age? Autumn is here, and the training of the bandit soldiers has come to an end.Lao Dan was bored, so he trained a big buffalo given by Mrs. Huang.The Hunan buffalo has large horns and is covered with tough and thick old skin. It is much more tempered than the northern buffalo, as if it has followed the fiery temper of the Hunan people.Lao Dan couldn't hold onto him all the time, so he kicked the beast in a hurry.But the buffalo didn't buy it, turned around, and gave him one with grenade-like bull's eyes. Lao Dan was pushed down the hillside, and when he reached the mountainside, he fell into a mess.The bandits and villagers who returned home from work witnessed this interesting scene. "Lao Dan rolled down the lazy man's slope" spread throughout Huang Jiachong, and it also reached Xu Yulan's ears, and she came again with herbs and a sorceress.Mazimei, who was bandaging Lao Dan, saw her and left with her bag in a dark face.The second son hurriedly followed her out, saying that she would send her back to where she lived.Xu Yulan greeted her generously, and Mazimei just hummed and walked away on her thick round legs.The second son followed for a while, but couldn't talk to each other, and came back listlessly. "What's wrong with this girl? She seems to have lost her soul. It's been a long time." The second son squatted at the door and said. "Do you think you are as heartless as you? You came back after only a few steps? Where is your sneering energy? Luying is a good woman, you are already blind, if you miss her It's gone, but it's the same as being completely blind." Xu Yulan said looking at Lao Dan's bruises.The second son pouted and didn't answer. Old Dan knew he had no idea, so he turned over and said, "Yulan said you were right, but you completely forgot how clever you are in dealing with devils. Don't keep thinking about why she is like this. Don't worry about it." Think about what she is rare, what she needs, and what things can make her forget about it, and you can get into her stomach." The sorceress looked at Lao Dan, and said that there was no need to recite any mantras, and there was nothing to hinder him. This idiot was bullied.Before leaving, the sorceress said to the second son, why are you still in a daze?Why don't you follow me and listen to my mountain god tricks?The second son hurriedly followed the witch.The little sex bandit squatted in a daze at the door, and was also carried by the neck by the sorceress.Lao Dan laughed and said that it's all right now, the second son really cares about it. Only he and Xu Yulan were left in the room, and Lao Dan felt very embarrassed, so he gritted his teeth and sat up and put on his clothes: "Third master, look, I can't do anything except fight and train. Even a cow can’t be put well, you can think about it for me, so that I can do something, or I will become half a useless person, which makes you look down on me.” "Don't ask me about this matter, you can ask my uncle." Xu Yulan sat down on the rattan chair, took off her shoes and crossed her legs. "As soon as I found him, he took me to drink, and in the end I had nothing to drink, so I didn't look for him." Lao Dan shook his head and lit the cigarette pot. "Uncle has always wanted to get a cavalry. He said that the surrounding villages are dishonest. They are all staring at each other. Huang Jiachong is caught in the middle. They must have stronger abilities than these cottages, especially speed... I hope he Get one, it will definitely be fun to play with two guns on a horse..." Xu Yulan took out her two guns, rode on the rattan chair, and started to beat Lao Dan indiscriminately.Lao Dan was terrified by her gunpoint, and hurriedly left the bed and said, "That's not too difficult. There are no horses in the mountains, so just buy some? Riding a horse to fight... I haven't tried it, but Yuming joined the army. Time is the cavalry, he can train." "The key is to have so few people. The second leader gets dizzy when I get on the horse, and I turn when I get on the horse. If you really think it's okay, take care of it and let me help you, how about it? If you do this, three Let you be the head of the house." "I screwed you up, what are you doing? I can't get rid of your bandits jumping up and down." Lao Dan said with a stern face. "I have a lot of work to do, just wait, I'll find a way..." Xu Yulan jumped off the wicker chair, inserted both guns, and walked out the door. Within a few days, Xu Yulan ordered some animals to be brought in, two mules and a female donkey who was in her prime.Lao Dan was overjoyed, and then wondered, why did you get two mules?Xu Yulan said this is not a horse?Of course it's a pony?Lao Dan couldn't laugh or cry, and when he told the truth, Xu Yulan was going to take someone out of the mountain to kill the mule seller.Lao Dan said it didn't matter, the horse was too delicate in this mountain, and the mule was hard at work, so he picked one as a mount.Lao Dan resumed his old business and started raising donkeys, which is well-known in Banzi Village.Donkeys and horses don't fit in well here, and there is no male donkey to be found in a radius of tens of miles. He and Yuming traveled through mountains and mountains, and finally chose a male donkey at the market.Lao Dan fed the two of them delicious food and drink, urged the two beasts to bridal candles day and night, Xu Yulan sent them fresh beans, and seeing Lao Dan staring at them all day long, she was ashamed to stand far away.The first litter gave birth to two little donkeys, which is rare even in the plains.The mountain people rushed to witness the spectacle of the two donkeys, and they were full of admiration for Lao Dan.Lao Dan rode a big mule over mountains and ridges, ostentatiously passed through the city, and his brothers rode a string of donkeys to follow suit, so that everyone no longer had to waste their legs.Envious of the villagers, they began to place orders for Lao Dan, and the old man Huang even gave him an order to use a hundred donkeys as cavalry.Huangjiachong's Lao Dan has already heard the sound of donkeys, and plans to introduce northern horse breeds next year and mate a bunch of mules.From "Old Black Dick", Lao Dan was gradually honored as "Lao Dan Brother", and then to "Old Master", and when he spread to other villages, he became "Donkey Master".The second son brought this ridiculous news from the market, and Xu Yulan wanted to kill again.The second son said, Brother Dan, do a good job, marry this Yulan girl and train her well, or cut her head off sooner or later. Old man Huang seemed to have the same intention. When asked several times, Lao Dan dared not talk nonsense, let alone answer. What is this place?Even if the wife and children don't know whether they are alive or dead, I don't want to let the bandit woman get in the way.Lao Dan took care of the mules and horses, and worked with Chen Yuming to find a way to train Huang Jiachong's cavalry.Not long after, Er Zi was able to kill with two guns on the back of a running donkey, Da Xue was able to shoot a machine gun with a donkey in his arms, but Liang Qi practiced a strange kung fu, playing with an old artist's bow and arrow on the horse, and even pierced Yang with a hundred steps. He said that if the arrows were smeared with snake venom, one would be killed.The old man Huang was very satisfied with this, and handed over the cottage to Erdangjia and Yulan to watch over, and took Qiaoqiao and Mazimei up the mountain every day to collect herbs.Mazimei gradually became enlightened again, but she still didn't follow Erzi's tricks.The second son and the witch tried their best, but they couldn't impress the ugly nurse.Xu Yulan was suppressed by the task of looking at the cottage, and her ass was so busy. It is said that Lu Jiachong and Gu Jiazhai have been dishonest recently. The hunters of the Lu family always come here to hunt and steal food. Xu Yulan discussed with Lao Dan, should they be dealt with?Lao Dan told her not to be impatient, but the old man still had to decide everything, even if he wanted to fight, he had to go to the city to buy some ammunition and equipment, and he had to wait for the cavalry to be trained. Ma Zimei is not in love with the second son, Lao Dan is a matchmaker, he can't figure it out, until Yulan tells him that Ma Zimei is in love with Liang Qi, and when he sees him shooting bows and arrows, his small eyes shine.Lao Dan had an epiphany, when it comes to the matter of men and women, it really counts when they see each other.The second son knew that the situation was over, so he didn't beat his chest and stamped his feet. He kept talking to Lao Dan about the beautiful girls in Huang's family, and finally said to Lao Dan: "You marry that woman Yulan, and give us a head start." In the 30th year of the Republic of China, Huang Laozi ordered Lao Dan and Xu Yulan to send troops to teach Gujiazhai who viciously abused Huang Jiachong's women.Lao Dan ordered troops after drinking, and the cavalry composed of hundreds of mules, horses and donkeys was huge. They all wore full-packed buffalo leather jackets, light yellow coarse cloth trousers on their lower bodies, and gray and green linen turbans on their heads. , loaded with guns and ammunition, rushed to Gujiazhai in mighty force.The second son's eyes shined all the way, saying that he finally had the opportunity to rape first and then kill, but Lao Dan said that it is best not to fight the enemy's soldiers in this battle. According to Yang Tiejun, our advantage has already been exhausted. The cavalry quietly approached Gu Jiachong at dusk.The two sentries on the mountain gate were shot with anesthesia by Liang Qiyuan's two arrows, Erzi climbed up like a monkey like Da Xue, tied up the other two sleeping ones, and set up machine guns inside.The gate opened, and Lao Dan ordered Chen Yuming to lead his troops to occupy some of their vital points, tied up the bandit soldiers who were sleeping, and let Zhu Tongtou fire a cannonball at the tallest tulou in the village.Looking at this posture, the bandit leader of the Gu family was so frightened that his legs trembled.Xu Yulan slapped him angrily, warning him that if he dared to act recklessly, the whole village would be burnt to the ground.She gave them more than a dozen good guns according to the old man Huang's order.The bandit soldiers of Gujiazhai lined up to listen to the training with their buttocks bare, and they had seen Huang Jiachong's legendary "mule cavalry", and even more so, the majesty of this "old donkey". Lao Dan and Yulan returned triumphantly, while Huang Laozi was angry, saying that some little bastards had left the mountain without telling him, saying that they were going to Changsha to join the army.Knowing the result of the battle, Old Man Huang just snorted, saying why are you so happy?The leader of Gujiazhai is a waste. His dick is not as big as a sparrow. With so many people going, it is already like killing chickens with a sledgehammer.Lao Dan asked why he didn't fight Lujiachong, who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth first. Mr. Huang gave Lao Dan a lesson in the art of war.As long as Gu Jiazhai goes there, he will be able to deal with it. From then on, he will be a firm ally. Tiao Tiao Tiao is still a good dog, able to contain Lu Jia Chong from the side and rear.Lu Jiachong knew the depth and would pay tribute every year in the coming year, Gu Jiazhai saw it and did not dare to act rashly.Old Man Huang patted Lao Dan on the shoulder and asked, "If you win the First World War, you will officially become the third master, right?" Lao Dan hastily declined, so what about Yulan? "You fool, let her be your wife..." Old Man Huang snorted, then turned around and said, "That's it." Brothers have wives to solve themselves?The old man Huang squinted at him and shook his head vigorously: "I looked at the map. Your home is already a flooded area, and it is still occupied by devils. No one can survive. It will be her in the morning, and it will be her in the evening. Yulan, are you I'm married, I agree with your conditions, but if you dare to touch another woman, no matter how long the dick grows, I will chop it off for you!" After the New Year's Eve, the old man Huang kissed the mandarin ducks and was busy being a matchmaker for the six brothers. Except for the second son who was still a wooden chicken, the others already had their own ghosts.The old man Huang pointed out one by one, and ordered everyone to get married in the first month, otherwise they would all be kicked out of Huangjiachong.Lao Dan cheerfully witnessed the happy events of the brothers, and was troubled by the matter of the second son.The second son went to look for Old Man Huang angrily, and begged him to help identify one for him.The old man Huang scratched his belly and was helpless, saying that the Huang family has always been afraid of one-eyed people, and the ghost charms in the hands of many witches are all demons with one-eyed eyes. Originally, even if you lost both legs, someone would marry you, but You're missing an eye, and that's worse than missing a dick.The second son was furious and went to find Lao Dan.Lao Dan said that I can only wait for the opportunity to go to another cottage to catch a girl with yellow flowers, otherwise what should I do? Don't look at Daxue's silence, but his actions are very fast. He married a handsome dumb girl first. The two of them were silent all day long, but they lived happily.Daxue trotted to report to Lao Dan, weeping excitedly.The thief Haitao had an idea, and married the second daughter of Huang Gui, the second head of the family. She is shy and cute, but also has a good temper.Haitao was often slapped by this woman because of his gluttony, but once the child was born, she immediately became docile.Haitao has been looking for his brother with the jug all day long, but she doesn't see anything else.Zhu Tongtou and Xiao Zhen's sister have been working secretly for more than a year, and finally they have achieved a positive result. Ma Zimei said that now there is one less fairy in Huangjiachong.Half a year later, the nine and a half catty little red copper head croaked to the ground, and it turned out that the stuffing had already been made.No one cares about Yu Tea, and he doesn't care about others. He walks alone except for training soldiers every day. In the middle of the night, when others shoot cannons, he goes up the mountain to shoot targets.Lao Dan talked to Mr. Huang, and Mrs. Huang forcibly forced the sorceress' granddaughter to him. Chen Yuming was not polite, and the marriage failed, so she fell asleep after being pressed.The two have similar personalities, both of them are sloppy characters who can't kick a boring fart with three legs, and they are both extremely ordinary faces scattered in the crowd. Everything looks normal, but they can't make children, and this matter is old no solution anymore. Liang Qi and Ma Zimei really formed a couple.Ma Zimei cured Liang Qi's rotten stomach, and Liang Qi's gratitude quickly sublimated into a desire to conquer, and shot Ma Zimei's heart with an arrow.The kind-hearted Liang Qi held Ma Zimei in his hands, caring for every detail, and forced Ma Zimei, who stared at everyone, to become a good wife praised by everyone.She and the sorceress became good partners, one gave injections and took medicine, the other chanted mantras and burned amulets, one Chinese and one Western cooperated tacitly.Lao Dan saw her getting happier and her pockmarked face gradually faded away, so she made a wish in front of the tomb of the head of the pockmarked group, feeling that she had finally done something for him. In this way, there are only the old Dan with tight crotch and the second son who hates gods and ghosts.The other brothers are men farming and women weaving every day, but when they live together, they look at the sticks with cucumbers, and the wine pots with the smoke pots.Lao Dan is cheerful, while Er Zi is full of anger.A matchmaker came from outside, and Lao Dan would push the second son every time, but they always came for him. The peerless Miao girl and the most beautiful yellow girl were all posted up and given away for free.But Lao Dan refused one by one, which made the second son even more annoyed.Every time a matchmaker came, Lao Dan would repeat honestly: "I have wives and children at home, maybe I will go back one day, or take them over, this good girl should be left for others to snatch... My second brother is a good man, hey, let me tell you about his amazing things..." After hearing Lao Dan's behavior, old man Huang hummed two words: "Wooden chicken!" But the second son has not been found yet, and Lao Dan's conditions cannot be fulfilled.Old man Huang was anxious, Xu Yulan was secretly annoyed, and Lao Dan pretended to be confused.It will be two years in a blink of an eye, the war ahead is still fierce, the news of his hometown is still unknown, and the fate of the country is unpredictable. Lao Dan loves Xu Yulan's smiling face more and more, but is more and more afraid that he will not be able to extricate himself.He always felt that he shouldn't go to a place to get one, so how could he go home?But the years and the body are tortured every day, and there is a second son who is so suffocated that he wants to hang himself, and he can't sleep without talking about women for a day.Huangjiachong's smoking pot is quite large, and every household is open to the air, and every night there is the sound of men and women beating each other.Lao Dan often opens his eyes wide in the middle of the night, thinking of Tweety and Ah Feng, and solves it by himself amidst the voices of other people acting like gods.The images of the women overlapped in the mind, Tweety'er's face, Ah Feng's voice, Tweety'er's tits, Ah Feng's buttocks, gradually mixed with Yulan's waist, their appearances merged together... Lao Dan It is no longer possible to tell which fantasy is the cause of each gushing.What made him quite ashamed was that the clear shadow in his mind was also blurred by the time.Finally, when Lao Dan grasped the root of life again at night, the blurry shadow made the sound of Yulan's nightingale, and Lao Dan sighed, and Yulan's face floated out in front of her eyes... The second master said that Xu Yulan's former man was hardened by Mrs. Huang. This young man came from Xiangtan.Xu Yulan was kicked out of the house within a few days after the wedding, and taking the witch's medicine was useless.Xu Yulan didn't like him very much, so she became depressed and her temper became surly, and the two quarreled became commonplace.This man was not Xu Yulan's opponent either inside or outside the bed, and he was so ashamed that he never spoke harshly or farted loudly.The old man Huang also saw that he was not pleasing to the eye at first, and over time he was ridiculed by the villagers, so he simply ran off to become a soldier, but he never came back after leaving. The old man Huang sent someone to look for him, saying that he died under the Japanese plane . Lao Dan sounded uncomfortable, after all, he was a martyr who died in battle, but he was nothing in Chongli. Xu Yulan didn't say a word about it, as if this man had never lived with her.Xu Yulan looked at her more and more like her big wolfdog, staring at Lao Dan's heart.He knew that if he agreed to Mrs. Huang's matter, he would probably never be able to leave Huang Jiachong again in this life, unless...unless the devils came calling. On this day, Xu Yulan brought Qiaoqiao to come early in the morning.For the first time, she didn't have a pair of guns inserted, she didn't bring a little pervert, and she was wearing a very feminine pair of jackets.Qiaoqiao threw herself into the arms of Lao Dan who was about to smoke and bask in the sun from a distance, and scratched him cluckingly.Xu Yulan smiled sweetly at him, and stood in the sun with her arms crossed.There was a sweet taste in Lao Dan's heart.The second son fought several rounds with "Five Girls" last night, making the whole room smelly, and now he is still sleeping soundly on the bed, so Qiaoqiao caught a few ants to attack him. "Sister Yulan, you came so early!" Lao Dan stood up and said. "Did you tell me you came early? How could you lie to me?" Xu Yulan smiled like a flower, and walked over with her eyes blinking.Lao Dan remembered that she said yesterday that she would come to see the donkey and horse today, and planned to exchange for a useful one.But seeing her dressed like this, smiling like that, with a few rhododendrons around her neck, I felt nervous. "The donkey got up early and was tied there to graze. I'll take you to see it." "What about cursing?" Xu Yulan rolled her eyes. "No, no, I got up early, I got up early..." Lao Dan laughed. Lao Dan led her to the backyard where a dozen donkeys were tied together.Seeing that Lao Dan brought the woman, the donkeys grunted and kicked their hooves against their buttocks.Lao Dan knew that she wasn't here to pick a donkey, she was dressed so coquettishly, she smelled so sweet, and she didn't get married riding a donkey.Lao Dan lit the cigarette pot and started smoking.Xu Yulan snatched it away. "I told you earlier, don't smoke the old shredded tobacco that has been used overnight. The water vapor in the mountains is heavy. If you smoke like this, you will get tuberculosis. No matter how many times you say it, you just don't listen..." Xu Yulan threw away his cigarette pot, and took out a pouch, and opened it to find more than a dozen rolled cigarettes.Xu Yulan picked out a round one and handed it to him: "Here, I rolled it for you." Lao Dan took it nervously and held it in his mouth.The lighter was filled with too much flint, and the sparks that popped out scalded Lao Dan's eyes.Lao Dan said "Ahhh", Xu Yulan also said ahhh, involuntarily opened his upper and lower eyelids, and began to blow. Lao Dan felt that her face was all over her face, and her eyes were dry and weeping, but she didn't dare to move, so she endured it. It felt like her body was touching him, and that piece was pushing up, Lao Dan's eyes were still hurting, and the bottom was hot. A donkey was so close at hand that it barked suddenly, Xu Yulan was so startled that she jumped two feet away.Lao Dan closed his eyes and opened them again, feeling that his eyes were a size bigger. A donkey face was stretched out in front of his eyes, and his snort was spitting. Donkeys. "You donkey, what's your name in the morning? You brag so embarrassingly?" Lao Dan scolded angrily, and then regretted it, and looked at Xu Yulan, who really stood there with her hips on her hips and twisted her neck, as if she was about to draw a gun and kill him fierce. "I'm not talking about you, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about donkeys..." There was a strange cry in the room, and then Qiaoqiao laughed.Presumably the second son was crawled by ants in his crotch.Erzi, who was wearing only a pair of underpants, jumped out of the back window suddenly, fell into the donkeys, and fell covered in donkey dung.Qiaoqiao poked her head out of the window, laughing heartlessly.Lao Dan couldn't help laughing, he leaned on the fence and said with a smile: "A few ants will scare you out of the window. If the devil comes, why don't you jump down the mountain?" "How can you say that? Tomorrow I'll dig an ant nest and put it on your dick..." Erzi finished speaking, saw Xu Yulan who was shy behind Lao Dan, yelled "not good", got up, and grabbed the window by the window. Press it back, and drilled back into the house like an eel. After this commotion, Lao Dan and Xu Yulan talked again. "Which donkey has the strength?" Xu Yulan asked, walking to the fence. "This male has a lot of energy! His eyes are bright, his hooves are round, and he barks more than a dozen times. Look at his fur, his ears..." Lao Dan stroked the good donkey, pulled it over with a smile, and let it lick Xu Yulan's hand.The good donkey would get it wrong, and put his head on her chest, licking her face with his wet tongue.Xu Yulan screamed and dodged.Lao Dan hurriedly held down the donkey's head, and whipped it over with a whip. "Animals follow their masters, you donkey is quite a lecher!" Xu Yulan looked at Lao Dan provocatively, and flicked off the grass that the animal had stuck to her chest, making the lump of flesh tremble slightly.Lao Dan felt that she had flicked her somewhere, and he was confused in his eyes. He grew up so big, but he had never seen such a woman. She was more spicy than those two kiln sisters.Lao Dan tied the donkey to the fence, raised his head again, his face was already red with embarrassment. "Hey, I'm so ashamed of you! I'm just kidding, who doesn't know that you are the most honest man, and you don't want any girls who want you. There are not many men like you in the world!" "Sister, you are joking, I am a rough-skinned and thick-skinned farmer, and this Huang Jiachong's girl is so juicy, how can anyone care about me..." Lao Dan felt greatly benefited. "Then I wonder if you count?" Xu Yulan still had the same expression. "Sister Yulan, stop making fun of me, I can't afford it!" Lao Dan touched the donkey's head with one hand trembling. "Brother Dan, do you often miss your hometown?" "think!" "Missing your wife and children?" "Then... think even more!" "That's right, your wife's orphans and widows must have a hard time." "No, I really look forward to going back soon!" "What if we can't go back for a while?" Xu Yulan suddenly stopped smiling. "This... I never thought about it, one day is one day..." "Will you stay in Huangjiachong?" "This... I don't know..." Lao Dan lowered his head and stroked the donkey. "That's good..." Xu Yulan said softly. "What did you say?" Old Dan asked pretendingly, obviously hearing it. "Oh, nothing..." Xu Yulan touched the donkey's ears.Seeing that the donkey was being honest, Lao Dan pushed it to graze there.But the donkey was not hungry, and when he came to the other end, he set up a female donkey and was about to shoot his bow and arrows.Xu Yulan saw it first and yelled. "Yeah! What does it do?" Lao Dan was so angry that he picked up the whip and went up, slapped it a few times, and then kicked up with a flying foot. The donkey was kicked and fell out, with its ears erect, its molars biting, and angrily staring at it. Lao Dan. "This bastard... don't be surprised, girl, all bastards are like this!" Xu Yulan was still in shock, but she pointed to the donkey and said, "That's it. Later, you gave me a paw and a saddle, and sent it to me." "Success, I'll dress you up again, clean it up and give it to you." "It's not about marrying a daughter-in-law, so don't be so concerned." Xu Yulan snorted, twisted her waist and went away, walked a few steps and came back, stuffing the purse into his hand, "It was all rolled for you last night, so smoked I cried all night." Lao Dan took it in his hand, but didn't know how to answer it. Xu Yulan seemed to sigh and walked away slowly. Her back at this moment was very similar to Ah Feng, but it was more spicy than Ah Feng. In the afternoon, Mrs. Huang asked someone to call him, saying that he would drink with him in the evening, but he didn't call anyone else.It was common for the two of them to drink. Mr. Huang's place had a lot of good wine and stories. They enjoyed drinking and chatted happily. Lao Dan never stopped going. "If you don't invite you to drink for a few days, you'll take your anger out on the donkey?" The old man Huang sat in a big wooden chair, dismantling a German rifle.His big parrot was sleeping on the shelf with its mouth open and its tongue sticking out, as if dead. "Where did it come from? I don't have it." Lao Dan sat down and watched him reload the gun. The old man was quick and quick, and a pile of parts became a gun in the blink of an eye.He buckled against the window, turned the phone and looked at it and said, "The spring is loose... just like me, old." "You are young, how can you say you are old?" Lao Dan remembered this, thinking about getting a good gun for the old man in the future. "I heard you whipping your donkey early in the morning, and the little whip made a lot of noise. Can you hide it from me?" The old man Huang put the gun into the holster and tilted his head to look at him. "The old man misunderstood, that donkey put aside the yellow-flowered female donkey next to it, and insisted on its mother, isn't this a mess? If I don't whip it hard, how can this beast have a long memory?" Lao Dan made up nonsense, He didn't know what old man Huang heard. "You're a fool! Which donkey gets on your ball is none of your business? You have to think about which one to get on yourself! Don't leave the magnolia alone, and you go to the female donkey in the middle of the night, that's a mess..." Lao Dan knew that the bickering was no match for Mrs. Huang, so he just smiled cheerfully, but his eyes searched around the room for wine. "Looking for something? Wine? You bastard! Yulan, bring the wine..." A person came out from the back room, it was Xu Yulan who had changed into long clothes but let down her hair.Lao Dan's head buzzed, and when he saw Mrs. Huang pouring tea for him slyly, he knew that the old man was playing tricks.Xu Yulan was carrying two bottles of wine, her face seemed to be wearing makeup, and she became charming under the lamp.With a smile on her face, she slammed the wine on the table heavily. "Be gentle, no one is going to challenge you, how can you look like a girl's house?" Old Man Huang said angrily.Xu Yulan pouted, giggled again, and pulled out a bottle with a "bang".When the aroma of the wine overflows, Lao Dan knows it is the best.The old man Huang snatched the wine bottle with his hands: "Do you think it's pulling radishes? You can't open the bottle like this in this old cellar. You will lose your energy in one go. You have to open it slowly and pour it slowly. One glass will be enough to intoxicate you." , you silly girl..." Yulan pouted again, and looked at Lao Dan shyly.老旦被她看得发毛，就去夺黄老倌子的酒瓶：“俺来倒，俺来倒……”黄老倌子却不依，指着他瞪着眼：“坐下！” 黄老倌子的鹦鹉不知何时醒了，也大喝一声：“坐下！” 老旦被吓一跳，只得坐下，玉兰抿着嘴忍着笑，抓过半只酱板鸭就要啃，黄老倌子便又瞪了她一眼，她便蔫蔫地放下了。黄老倌子给老旦斟了酒，给徐玉兰也倒上了。他端起杯看着二人：“废话少说，先来三杯。” 老旦忙举起杯，还没和黄老倌子碰，玉兰却仰脖子就干了。“好酒！”她舔了下杯边儿，像个兵汉般哈着嘴。黄老倌子摇了摇头，和老旦轻轻一碰，干了。玉兰这次抢过了酒瓶，给他们倒上，才给自己也满了。给老旦倒得有点满，溢出来一串。 “斯文一点行不？你旦哥可是个见过世面的人，你个妮伢子神憎鬼厌的，难怪没人要你……老旦，这是玉兰老家徐家沟的三十年老窖……这徐家沟的酒可是远近闻名呦！这酒不多了，都被赤匪拿去当了酒精……就剩这么几瓶，就不让你的兄弟们闻腥了。” “么子见过世面喽？打了几仗就算见过世面了？还躲在这不长秧子的黄家冲，天天鼓捣毛驴？”玉兰撇着嘴，烈酒烧红了她的脸颊，红唇艳得像灯笼一样。 “呦！口气还好大？就冲他七个人就敢回通城救麻三，这就是英雄胆略，丈夫霸气！比你男人可强多了，活着没个动静，死了也没听个响！要论喝酒，你男人五个也喝不过老旦一个！”黄老倌子丝毫不忌讳提起这些。果然，玉兰也毫不在意，只哼了一声说：“那要看喝得过我不？我那男人是没么子用，人家说什么是什么，从来没么子主意……嗯，今天高兴，不说这些了……旦哥你把最好的驴给我了，妹子得谢谢你，你就赏个脸吧！” 玉兰给自己倒了酒，修长的手指平平端起酒杯，稳当如端起她的双枪。 "I can't tell, Miss Yulan drinks so refreshingly..." 老旦举起杯来，犹豫地看着黄老倌子。老汉倚在椅子里恶作剧般地笑，冲他抬了抬下巴。 “老旦你个木鸡！老子的外甥女都能把你吓成这样，亏你还是枪林弹雨过来的？呵呵……喝吧喝吧！” 老旦头一次和女人如此狂饮，徐玉兰一杯接一杯地进攻，老旦抽不出空吃菜，招架颇感吃力，这黄老倌子又一旁煽风点火，时不时地也趁火打劫和他猛干几杯。徐家沟的老窖后劲儿极大，才半斤下去老旦就晕得像坐了船，玉兰变成了两个，那双桃花眼满天乱飞，直欲勾了自己的魂儿去。他怎知玉兰从小就喝这酒长大，一斤下去也没什么反应。慌乱中老旦渐觉稀松。玉兰撸起袖子频繁进攻，老旦敞了衣服步步撤退，黄老倌子又喝了一杯，说去撒个尿，就消失在月光之下。后面的事情顺理成章，老旦醉得一塌糊涂，徐玉兰也醉了，却也走不得路，饶是她酒量厉害，怎敌得过黄老倌子的别有用心。 “进来！把那几个老婆娘叫过来，把这两个都抬回老旦那儿去，把二子拉我这儿来喝酒……这两个都扒光了，上上下下地搞在一起！不准走漏任何风声！”黄老倌子吩咐道，他嘴角一撇，对着夜色挤出一声得意的奸笑。 “看老子把你们杀个片甲不留！”黄老倌子得意地晃着头。 “杀个片甲不留！”他的鹦鹉又说。 半夜醒来，老旦口渴难忍，挣扎着下了床，到水缸里舀水喝。饮了个饱之后才发现周身冰凉，竟光着腚，他不由纳闷，平常至少留着一条裤衩，这咋回事？晃晃头回想，方才想起一些，脸上一阵发烧，不知谁把自己送回来的，谁又把自己扔上了床，竟是忘个干净，但却记得在梦里和一个女子轰轰烈烈地交过一战，折腾得酒汗横流，和她湿乎乎沾了一身…… He groped back to the bed in the dark, and as soon as he got under the covers, a hot hand wrapped around his waist.老旦惊得头皮炸裂，从床上蹿起老高，嗷的一声飞到地上。 "ghost!" 老旦惊呼。一丛火苗噗地在床头跃起，照亮了半个屋角，老旦惊愕看到，赤裸的玉兰盘在床上，正探着婀娜的腰身，慢慢拨着油灯的火头。她头发披散，周身雪白，胸脯沉甸甸垂落下来，腰腿圆润如春天的萝卜，脸上潮红未褪，像仍在醉着一样。 “水……”玉兰软软地说。 老旦没动，徐玉兰便扯了一嗓子：“聋啦？拿水来！” 老旦忙舀起一瓢，战战兢兢走过去递给她。徐玉兰咕咚咚喝下，胸前两颗红豆颤巍巍抖着。老旦看也不是，走也不是，慌得缩成一团：“你……你咋了在俺床上？你咋了光着腚？” 徐玉兰猛地瞪大了眼，一把扔了瓢，葫芦瓢在屋里叮当乱碰。 “你还问我？我还要问你呢！我喝得不晓得事了，你就把我弄到床上来，趁机占了我，还以为你醉死了，我醒来的时候你正趴在我身上……你还问我？难道不是你弄我来的？我怎么上了你的床？” 老旦扔了枪，忙揪了条裤子掩住了下身，将棉被扔回给这光腚女人。他怎么也想不清这事的原委，但它铁板钉钉，往下一摸，分明是弄过的样子，梦中弄的那个肯定就是这个徐玉兰！这女人面色淫靡，胸脯上还有着啃咬的痕迹，这可如何是好？ 老旦蹬上裤子，在屋子里走来走去，他捶着头弓着腰，发出懊悔的叹息。 “叹个么子气喽？搞就搞了，敢做就敢当嘛！还见过么子大世面呢……再说我又没有怨你，要不早就把你蹬下去了……” “玉兰妹子啊，俺有老婆孩子……俺当真没想占你便宜……俺给你赔不是了，你可千万别说出去啊！” “老婆孩子怎么了？隔着十万八千里，我就不能做你的小？你都碰过我了，我还怎么再嫁？我肚子里说不定已经弄上你的种了，你想赖都赖不掉！我怎么就被你弄上了床，反正你是说不清了，你占了我，我就是你的人了。除了我死去的男人，没有人碰过我。如今我是你的了，你愿意怎么搞就怎么搞……现在这兵荒马乱的，你也回不去。将来要是你非要回去，我也不拦着你，我也不跟着你，只要你把孩子留下就行嘚，我在咯里也过得下去……” 徐玉兰披了件上衣，端坐在床上，定定地看着老旦，并无羞怯之意。老旦也望着她，心里还是一团糟，可那下面又不争气地翘了起来，他忙转身，偷偷把那闯祸的东西打了个卷儿，背朝着她坐回了床沿上。 油灯的灯芯烧化了，噼噼啪啪炸了几声，跳了几下便萎靡下去。黑暗又笼罩了房子，月光像酒一样醉人。老旦在黑暗中听到她慢慢躺下，喘气声如丝如缕。她的手摸上了老旦的腰，柔软而温热，游走在脊背和肩膀，若即若离地奔向他那翘起的东西。大概也害羞，便离开了，只抓过了他的手，坚决地将老旦拉向了她…… 这个蹊跷尴尬的夜晚，老旦被这个如火的女人彻底摧毁，这多情的湘女尤物是一汪无尽的水，是一团勾魂的雾，是一辆柔软的坦克，是一处打不下的阵地。老旦在晕眩中迷醉，在升腾里融化。他粗愣愣的双手肆意地揉搓着她的一切，他坑洼洼的伤痕尽情地摩挲着她的腰臀，如赤裸着滑过麦浪，像光着脚走过炭池。他几乎揉碎了她，撑爆了她，斩断了她，他发动的每一次战斗都让她欲火焚身，密集的弹雨让她窒息，火热的空气让她痉挛，而他无穷无尽的喷发直欲休克了她。在这场没有败者的厮杀中，她像彩虹下的花朵一样怒放，像炮弹炸飞的一只彩色的鸟…… “好耍不？”女人压着嗓子说。 “好耍。”老旦喘着气退出将软的枪。 “你好耍，我疼死了……死鬼，我毙了你！”女人猛地将他骑在身下，双手作势握着双枪，对着他的头啪啪地打。 “你这里为啥挂着个绳子？”玉兰揪起老旦下面那根细细的红绳。 “老婆给俺系的……”老旦红了脸。 “都糙了……”玉兰不由分说揪断了扔去一边，老旦哪里拦得住，还想起身去拿，就见玉兰轻轻一跃，就又将他含在身体里了。 “以后我就是你老婆。”玉兰趴伏在他的耳边说。 “既如此，咱就一起过吧……”老旦觉得脑子射干了，身子泄空了，人像抽走了骨头，干瘪了皮肉，一切就此空空如也，释然了，放下了，忘记了……就这么着吧，就这么活吧，就这么醉着吧。世事沧桑，家园难望，情欲狭路相逢，大家是抱在一起渡河的蝼蚁，一个浪，一阵风，说不定便粉身碎骨，这一条看不到边的河流，得过便且过吧。 “敢对我不好，我就毙了你……”玉兰一只手轻轻下去，猛揪了他那玩意一下。老旦疼极，大叫一声，眼前哗啦一亮，像钻过了房顶，看到了黄家冲无边的星空。 久旱老旦娶了寡妇玉兰，黄家冲人知道这事哂然一笑，一个流浪汉，一个辣寡妇，干柴烈火地滚到一起，能有什么稀奇？这老旦信誓旦旦，劝退若干媒婆，还不是黑灯瞎火地搞了寡妇？这北方佬的脸和他们吃的面一样，薄了厚了都叫饼，薄起来能包饺子，厚起来能当棉被。唯一让乡亲们好奇的是那半山坡的声响。这最初的半个多月，徐玉兰白天黑夜地叫，一叫就是一两个时辰，比那驴叫得还响，有时候还边叫边放枪，放的还是双枪，真不是省油的灯。这老旦看来也是憋疯了，怎消受得了？半年下来都没消停几天。乡亲们只纳闷这黄老倌子，对这狗男女不闻不问，不管不怪，只自斟自饮和他的鹦鹉骂来骂去，真不知这古怪老头子是怎么想的。 “你们都有坑了，就俺是个萝卜！” 二子气呼呼搬出了老旦的房，住进山顶一个圆滚滚的茅屋。这原本是村民熏腊肉的地方，但二子偏偏挑中了。老旦拗不过他，就带着弟兄们给他装点一番，安了窗户，修了庭院，翻了菜地，建了茅房。玉兰对二子颇有愧疚，一日进城，从城里买来个奇怪的玩意。老旦说是迫击炮，黄老倌子说是照相机，巧巧说是万花筒。玉兰帮二子架好了，说这东西是个能看月亮的天文望远镜，是从一个法国神父手里买的。众人堆在二子的院里喝酒饮茶，冷不丁那月亮便爬上山坡。巧巧搬着板凳先睹为快，惊喜异常。黄老倌子也凑上去看，说这玩意要是装在大炮上，不是指哪儿打哪儿？老旦闭着一只眼去瞅，被那巨大的月亮吓得摔倒在地，玉兰咯咯笑着搀起了他。 “月亮大不？像啥？” “大，白得像你的屁股，坑洼得又像麻子妹的脸。” 老旦忍着玉兰的掐，见二子抱着望远镜看个不停，知道这玩意只能哄他一时，还是要给他找个近在眼前的女人。 和玉兰的日子温暖而惬意，婚后的玉兰柔软如山里的竹，火辣如桌上的辣椒，热烈如燃烧的美酒。老旦正式做了三当家的，担负着守卫黄家冲的要任。他身上长出无穷的力量，如山里暴长的竹笋，生发得茁壮伟岸，身体竟强壮起来。只是和玉兰日日鏖战，却搞不大她的肚子，老旦心中纳闷，玉兰郁郁寡欢，她偷偷找了神婆，吃了些奇怪的药，院子里撒了新鲜的紫苏，枕头下放了干瘪的何首乌。神婆在院子里念叨了一个下午，离去时说让他们勒住鸡巴封住穴，每次憋一个月，候到月圆子时那刻狠狠地搞，而且不能哇哇叫，怕吓跑了菩萨给的孩子。 这可难坏了二人，玉兰说忍得了疼却忍不住叫，老旦只能削了个木橛子给玉兰咬上，一番恶战，把月亮都赶跑了。老旦见木头上牙印深刻，便爱惜地亲着她，说等有了孩子，给你装个喇叭，让你叫得山神都睡不着。玉兰抱着他流了泪，说只要能有你的孩子，我宁愿从此咬着木橛子。 黄老倌子开始收集外面的消息，让人买回大捆的报纸和传单。他在房子里一张张铺开来，拿着笔圈圈画画。虽然什么都不说，老旦仍能感觉到他的紧张。战事日渐胶着，中日厮杀到了湖南大地，在长沙杀得难解难分。By the end of the 1930s, Changsha City had withstood the third round of crazy attacks by the devils.虽然已成焦土，并一度被日军攻占，但是整个战役下来，鬼子还是被赶回了战役前的地界。长沙城收复之日，黄老倌子大摆酒筵庆祝，众人都唏嘘不已。黄老倌子歪着头举着杯，说敢情这老蒋还打出脾气来了？湖南能守住，日本人就过不来了。 鬼子占了长沙的时候，玉兰几天睡不着觉，神婆来看，还没进屋就说肚子有了动静。老旦喜出望外，神婆却说不能马虎，她掰开玉兰的嘴看，在玉兰的肚子上听了半天，告诉老旦这孩子还没定魂，万不可惊了胎气。不能睡不能摸，下雨别出门，刮风要闭窗，就是蚊子叮了那么几下长了大包，也有可能前功尽弃。老旦听得头皮发麻，玉兰在床上呆若木鸡，这和养菩萨有什么区别呢？黄老倌子倒不在乎，说这神婆再胡说八道就把她熏了腊肉，一个三十年的老寡妇，隔三差五用苦瓜过瘾的疯婆子，还真把自己当树精了？ 不信归不信，老旦却不敢怠慢，各项要求一一照做。玉兰也咬牙豁出去了，不就忍八个月么？就当再守多半年寡呗。老旦让二子和玉茗多带弟兄们担待黄家冲的守卫，除了和黄老倌子聊聊大事，便寸步不离懒汉坡，日夜守在玉兰的身旁。 黄家冲最近访客不断，有上贡的，有拜山门的，还有觍着脸来要饭的，这些人事还没料理明白，瞒着黄老倌子去参军的愣小子们又回来了两个。回来便回来，还把山门的铜鼓敲得咣咣响。两年前几个小子悄悄投奔了长沙的国军部队，回来这两个似乎打出了些战绩，穿着笔挺的军装，骑着壮实的大马，胸前还挂了一串牌子呢。二人进了山还没下马，二当家的已经黑着脸拦在路上，大手一挥，十几个人上去就捆在竹竿上，任凭二人如何喊叫，小匪们领了命，不打不骂，只扛着他们上了山，掼在气歪了脸的黄老倌子座下。老旦随后赶来，见寨厅里杀气腾腾，二当家手持大刀站在两个后生身边。 “还敢回来，胆子不小……”黄老倌子斜躺在椅子上，“怎么？去了四个，只回来两个？松开吧，谅他们不敢跑。”黄老倌子吹了吹烟锅，对老旦点了下头。老旦走到自己的座位上坐了，见两个后生穿着熟悉的军装，军功章上沾满了土，心里虽疼，但见黄老倌子脸色不善，便不敢多言。 两个后生仍不吭气，利索地爬起，一下下打去身上的灰，他们不放过任何一处肮脏，再摆正每一块军功章，全身都收拾停当了，便默契地立正，给黄老倌子齐刷刷敬了礼。老旦回黄家冲时他们才走，其中这个二伢子还认识，那时还是个看啥都好奇的屁娃，如今这脏胚子已经仪表堂堂，黝黑的皮肤仿佛刀割不破，站在那儿不卑不亢，眉宇中尽是威风。老旦暗叹湖南佬真是不简单，同是农民，咋人家的娃子有点历练就这般虎气哩？ “是当了逃兵没地儿去了，还是打了胜仗回来装蒜？”黄老倌子话如钢锥，眼皮都不抬一下。 “老倌子，都不是，我们……是奉命回来的。”小兵黄瑞刚的后脑勺少了块肉，露出骇人的伤疤。 “奉命？奉谁的命？”黄老倌子斜斜看着他，“敢违我的命，却要奉别人的命？” “团长命令我们……”二伢子说。 “屁！闭嘴！什么狗屁团长？老子当年还是旅长呢，敢在老子面前摆谱，老子就杀他个片甲不留！”黄老倌子重重捶了下旁边的桌子，茶壶茶杯的跳起老高。 “杀他个片甲不留！”一直打盹的大鹦鹉猛然狂叫。黄老倌子一巴掌打去，将之打得羽毛乱飞。 “老倌子，长沙两战之后，兵源紧张，我们团战死七成，负伤两成，三伢子和黄定方都负了重伤……”黄瑞刚顿了一下，又抬起下巴说，“我们活着的弟兄领了部队的命令，分散到湘中湘西湘南各地召集人马，如果不能尽快补充兵员，湖南难免陷落……” “陷不陷落，跟你啥相干？我看日本人来了倒好，军阀本就异志，看着是中华民国，其实各自为政，鱼肉百姓，否则哪有老子我决然卸甲？哼，还有个共产党挖墙脚赚人头，在后面搞国中之国，这中华不过是一窝乱咬的狗，都让日本人收拾了，倒还干净！”黄老倌子说罢看了老旦一眼。老旦本听得发木，见黄老倌子眼神异样，便知这老家伙是在说反话呢。黄老倌子说完便瘫进太师椅，下巴顶到了肚子上，大水烟筒咕噜得打雷一般。 “老倌子，不能这么说……”二伢子咬着牙说，见黄老倌子没再拍桌子，他又说道，“咱山寨的黄老举人说了，民国来之不易，尚在懵懂年华，但若能治以时日，前途不可限量。就像咱这山寨，老倌子你回来的时候，几个大户为争寨主不也乱七八糟？外边不也是群狼环伺？你成了山寨之主后，不也有几年东征西讨的日子？山寨里不也用了好几年才完全定下你的规矩？” “别绕圈子！”黄老倌子不耐烦道。 “老倌子，鬼子既到湖南，咱便不能袖手旁观，湖南若陷，亡国有日，湘人若不齐心合力，必遭倭寇冷血欺凌。”二伢子看了眼老旦，似乎掂量着该不该说，但还是说了，“老旦失了河南，不知何日能和家人团聚，湖南如果再败，他又能躲去哪里？我们又能躲去哪里？” 老旦闻听此言，一股烈火从肺里升腾起来，一张脸顿时狰狞起来。愤怒、羞辱、尴尬、悲哀，这些东西一股脑塞进老旦那颗要炸开的头颅。可他无法发作，这二伢子说的是实话。 “混账！轮得着你说三当家的？你的战功和他比，算是狗屁！”黄老倌子腾地站起来，水烟壶猛地掷向了二伢子。二伢子看着这铁家伙飞来，竟不躲避。老旦心中暗惊，这一下不头破血流才怪。旁边的黄瑞刚猛然伸出了手，稳稳地抓住了水烟壶。他走前几步，恭敬地举到黄老倌子面前，老汉哼了一声，劈手拿了回去。他看了一眼二当家的，回身坐进了太师椅。黄瑞刚是二当家黄贵的儿子，极倔强的一个后生。二当家的已经像水牛那么倔了，这个少言寡语的侄子更是不可救药。 “都长出息了，一红一白，一唱一和了，落了几个伤疤，就觉得敢和我叫板了……”黄老倌子冷冷道。 “老倌子，我们不敢。
