Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Transporting Medicine

Qiu Jiayuan galloped away, thinking about his sacred mission to Qingshiling and all the dangers caused by this mission.He once again warned himself that he must stay calm and never make any risky mistakes at any time. The disaster started first in the area of ​​the gorge.First, five brothers with guns from the security team of Gulang County were murdered at the mouth of the gorge.Do it cleanly without leaving traces.Then, a group of Feng Chuanwu's men and horses in Liangzhou City disappeared inexplicably by the Gulang River. In fact, the same thing happened as early as mid-September. While Qingshiling was busy collecting medicine, Qiu Jiayuan, the adjutant from Xi'an City, received two secret letters. Gu rushed to attack the fifth child, but failed.The situation was even worse once, when three secret eyeliners planted by the Nationalist Government in Liangzhou Normal University were put in sacks and thrown into the moat.Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan couldn't rush to Liangzhou City immediately because he couldn't get rid of the Qingshiling matter, but the news caused a great shock in his heart.

When the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan was urgently summoned to Liangzhou City, an even bigger incident happened.The medicinal materials that Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce secretly transported to Xi'an were robbed!This thing happened quite strangely, and the method was extremely clever. Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan knew a little about the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce's procurement of medicines, but it was difficult for him to ask about the specific situation unless he was told.It is said that Deputy Commissioner Zeng Zihang is in charge of this matter, and the Chamber of Commerce is only acting for Deputy Commissioner Zeng.Deputy Commissioner Zeng also served under the Chief of the Army before, so he was still Qiu Jiayuan's senior. Qiu Jiayuan used to call him a teacher. Over the years, because each of them had a lot of work on their shoulders, there were fewer opportunities to meet and communicate.

According to Zeng Zihang, the cavalry set out secretly two days ago, with a total of 21 horses selected from several cavalry teams in Liangzhou City.In order to deceive people, the caravan released rumors in advance, saying that they were carrying wool, cashmere and camel hair in exchange for salt.At twelve o'clock in the night, just as the horse team entered the mouth of Qingfeng Gorge, suddenly a group of people appeared, their faces covered with black veils, and they snatched all the medicinal materials he had worked so hard to get without much effort. "Why, what about the escorts, do they eat dry food?" Qiu Jiayuan said viciously.

"Why don't you eat dry food, they have a guy in their hands!" Zeng Zihang's anger has not yet subsided, which shows how hard this incident has hit him. "Guy?" Qiu Jiayuan showed disbelief.The guy is the gun, which was a bit of a surprise. "Could it be the bandits did it?" Qiu Jiayuan asked again. "Bandits?" Zeng Zihang laughed at himself, "The bandits will leave behind twenty-one horses? Will they leave a lot of silver? They are here for medicine!" "Then—" the adjutant Chou Jiayuan kept silent, pretending to be in deep thought.

"I conclude that they are the Communists! You are squatting in the old ditch in the deep mountains, and you don't care about what happened outside. These days, the activities of the Communists are rampant. I plan to ask Xi'an to let you take full responsibility for this matter. We will wipe out all the Communist bandits in Liangzhou within three to two months." "This—" Adjutant Chou Jiayuan showed a disturbed expression.Zeng Zihang glanced at him dissatisfied, and said: "Brother Jiayuan, although you and I have been separated for many years, I know your ability, and this matter must belong to you. Besides, you and I are now shouldering the heavy responsibility of the party and the country. If you don't get rid of it for a day, you and I will have no peace for a day, so don't shirk it." "But—" the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Teacher, have you ever thought that you are an official here, and you should be a wife?" Pingping, if it is suddenly said that Communist bandits are rampant in your territory, what will the higher-ups think?"

"This—?" Zeng Zihang obviously didn't think of this level, his wisdom has ruined the loss of a large amount of medicinal materials. Not only did he spend a lot of Bai Shengsheng's money on that batch of medicinal materials, but he was also Guaranteed to Xi'an. "what do you mean--" "I think, before the matter is cleared up, we must never admit that there are communist bandits. Right now, the dispute between the two parties is getting more and more fierce, and the higher-ups are overwhelmed by this matter. At this time, we will mess up our own family, and I'm afraid..."

The enemy is far from talking. Zeng Zihang collapsed on the chair in frustration, for a long time, he asked Qiu Jiayuan: "Then what do you think should be done?" "Maintaining the status quo." "Isn't this a serious dereliction of duty?" Zeng Zihang suddenly jumped up, and after a long time, he sat down slowly.It seems that he doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve right now. The two talked in secret for a long time, and decided to observe for a while first. If there were really communist activities, it would not be too late to make up their minds.Coming out of Liangzhou Mansion, Qiu Jiayuan was in a mixed mood.Originally planned to go to Haizang Temple to burn incense sticks, and pay a visit to Master Hongyuan by the way, and let Zeng Zihang tell him that he was in no mood at all.Now turn back and go to Gulang.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Gulang County, he heard a more terrifying news.

The deputy of the waiting group of the Gulang County Security Corps was hanged alive on the city gate tower. Die horribly. The adjutant Qiu Jiayuan and the county magistrate Kong Jiexi looked at each other and remained silent for a long time. Both of them seemed to be covered by some kind of ominous premonition. For a long time, the county magistrate Kong Jiexi said: "We have to be careful." Back in Qingshiling, the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan didn't speak for a few days, and Shui Yingying talked to him several times, but he ignored him.September has passed, and the sky in October is stuffy, and there seems to be something stuck in the air, which makes people's hearts unable to clear up.One after another, news came to Qingshiling. First, there were bandits in the gorge, and the leader was Piedao Wu. Some people even saw it with their own eyes. No one knows.Then, he said that there was a riot organization secretly appearing in the gorge. This organization had a strange name called Qingfeng Tuan. He also said that they had all received posts from Qingfeng Tuan, asking them to follow the uprising and liberate themselves.

"What is Liberation?" The helpers who collected the medicine thought the word was new and asked each other. "I don't know!" Second Master Shui said bitterly. On this day, the county magistrate Kong Jiexi came to Qingshiling suddenly with a group of people.Second Master Shui rushed forward to greet him with a rare intimacy.Rumors and posts about Qingfeng Tuan spread all over the gorge, which made the rich and powerful Second Master Shui suddenly a little restless, wishing that the county magistrate Kong Jiexi would come to calm him down. "Is it true that the poor ghosts are going to make trouble as said above?" Before Kong Jiexi could sit down, Second Master Shui asked impatiently.

The county magistrate, Kong Jiexi, glanced at the adjutant, Qiu Jiayuan, and said nothing. Second Master Shui wanted to ask again, but Qiu Jiayuan said, "Second Master, just relax, don't listen to those things, it's fine." Of course Second Master Shui couldn't believe it. Regarding Qiu Jiayuan's words, he expected that the county magistrate Kong Jiexi would tell him the truth. "It's like this, dear family, I came this time because of the Weixia Association. Right now there are wars and chaos, and there are rare and weird things. For the safety of Qingfengxia, I suggest the establishment of the Weixia Association. Those who serve as the president, select some capable people, and jointly maintain the safety of Qingfengxia."

"what do you mean?" "To tell you the truth, this time, I just want to invite Shui's family to serve as the president. I have discussed it with He's family beforehand. He has no objection to you being the president." "Hmph!" Hearing that Kong Jiexi met He Dakun beforehand, Second Master Shui immediately showed disdain. This kind of thing has always been thankless, and he has to pay for money. After discussing it, it must be He Dakun. The plan made by the old thief wants to stir up trouble with my second child.Thinking about it this way, Second Master Shui immediately refused: "I accept the kindness of Kong's family. Although there is a lot of chaos at the moment, I, Qingshiling, have always been not afraid of troubles, and I don't make troubles. For the Weixia meeting, you should go with He Let the in-laws make up their own mind." After finishing speaking, he put his butt on the chair, pretended to be like a Buddha, and never accepted Kong Jiexi's faults again. The county magistrate, Kong Jiexi, regretted that he had talked too much, and should not have mentioned He's family in the first place.In fact, the matter of the Weixia Association was not his idea. Several incidents happened one after another. Or fight against the Communist bandits that are rampant in the dark.This is called using the countryside to protect the countryside, and using the ditch to protect the ditch. The meaning is very clear, first gather people's hearts together, and don't let the party with the surname be distracted.Of course, you can also take the opportunity to ask these big households to pay some money and bleed some blood. If you don't take the initiative, if the poor ghosts really want to make trouble, don't blame the government for being incompetent. It's a good idea, but it's too difficult to execute.Over the years, one meeting and another meeting made the big households become open-air rafters, beating everywhere.In addition, they have to support the militia and county regiments on a monthly basis, and donate money and medicine to the soldiers in the front, and the big households have already complained.This time, the self-defense meeting is organized again, obviously to let the big households protect their own safety. This proves that the Baoding, the township and the county, have all become waste huts that cannot cover the rain, so why do you still have to pay monthly?At the beginning, Kong Jiexi, the county magistrate, focused on He Dakun, but before he could say anything, He Dakun scolded his mother: "I shoveled some food out of the garbage, and you robbed him as well." , The warehouses are all vacated right now, and you are still not letting go." The county magistrate, Kong Jiexi, was about to explain to him, but he scolded again: "My second son, didn't he say that he would be released this month, ah, where is he?!" The county magistrate, Kong Jiexi, hurriedly persuaded him with good words, but He Dakun was really irritable this time, pointing at his nose and said: "My surname is Kong, I have always regarded you as a person, my second child, if you don't mind Let me tell you, I'm not finished with you!" Seeing that I couldn't make sense of it, the county magistrate Kong Jiexi started to use his brains on the boss He Shuhuai again, but it was okay if he didn't mention it. Even more viciously than his father, he said: "I finally understand that you not only care about my He family's food, but also my family's sky and land. Are you forcing my He family to live in Xigou?" Cave, are you willing to be willing?!" After being so angry at the He family, the county magistrate Kong Jiexi sent his footsteps to Qingshiling. He didn't expect that the Shui family was not much better than the He family. At night, Kong Jiexi told Qiu Jiayuan in detail what happened along the way and the uneasiness in Liangzhou Mansion.Qiu Jiayuan said: "Since this is the case, let's let go of the self-defense association. I have an idea. I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" "Speak." The adjutant Qiu Jiayuan explained the solution that he had thought up in the past few days. He didn't expect Kong Jiexi to hear it, and said repeatedly: "Miao, Miao, it's no wonder that he came from Xi'an City, he has more ideas than me." The next day, the county magistrate Kong Jiexi and his adjutant Qiu Jiayuan teamed up to form a medicine protection team in Qingshiling, stating: "The current situation is chaotic and the medicinal materials are in short supply. Qingshiling has been busy for more than half a year. This little medicinal material must be well protected. Mistake." I didn't think about it, when the medicinal materials were mentioned, Second Master Shui really responded, and immediately said: "This is a good job, and this job can be done." According to Qiu Jiayuan's plan, the candidates for the medicine protection team will be selected from helpers and servants. The medicine care team has two tasks, one is to help transport medicine out, and the other is to protect the safety of Qingshiling.Of course, Qiu Jiayuan had to pay another salary for anyone selected to join the medicine team.As soon as they heard about the wages, more and more people rushed to come. For several days in a row, the front of Qiujiayuan's door was completely surrounded, and there was no one to do the work of sunning the medicine. The first one to rush to come was Wuzi Shuan, who was also vying to be the captain.Unexpectedly, Qiu Jiayuan dismissed him with a few words. "I don't dare to ask you. If you can do without you in and out of the courtyard, you don't have to join in the fun. You can do things in the courtyard well for the second master." Shuan Wuzi was stunned, and immediately scolded: "What kind of dick medicine team, they are obviously playing with people as monkeys." After picking a few people in succession, Qiu Jiayuan's mind was focused on picking up food, and repeated it over and over again. After thinking about it, he went to Liu Xicai to find out.Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Liu Xicai said: "He is as thin as a monkey, and his illness is just right. If you want to do his best, please forgive him." Qiu Jiayuan was speechless. Next, his eyes became sad.In fact, only he knew the real purpose of the medicine team, including the county magistrate Kong Jiexi, and he only said half of it.Since there is another purpose, this candidate must be more cautious.What worries Qiu Jiayuan is that with so many people, if he really wants to pick them up carefully, not many of them are happy. The matter of transporting the medicine was carried out quite secretly, and no one in the courtyard could intervene. As soon as October started, Qiu Jiayuan secretly called the three people who sent him back last time.The young coachman looked like a foreigner, speaking a foreign language that no one could understand.The other two could understand what they were saying, but they didn't say anything. They just laughed when they met people, which was so gloomy that it made people feel frightened.Qiu Jiayuan divided the work among the three, two men in their early thirties were in charge of packing and loading, and the young coachman was in charge of checking the scales.Second Master Shui was upset at first because the carriage driver was watching the scale too closely, and he couldn't get one or two. "It's a dog's day, it has iron eyes." Second Master Shui said angrily.Once Scale keeps an eye on it, Second Master Shui will get less money for beating Qiu Jiayuan, of course he is not happy.However, after a few days, Second Master Shui didn't care anymore, and he didn't even come to the scale.It was only later that people learned that Qiu Jiayuan appeased Shui Erye in advance, and he gave Shui Erye an additional silver note on the basis of the original agreement. It is said that the number is astonishingly large. I am afraid that all these lands will be replaced with poppies. I can't exchange for such a silver ticket.Qiu Jiayuan is not free, his conditions are quite simple, and Shui Erye can almost close his eyes.The condition is that once the medicine is dried, it will not be related to Qingshiling's business, Second Master Shui has to ensure that no one in the courtyard can interfere with the delivery of medicine. "It's easy, it's easy, my second child, Shui, doesn't say anything, who dares?" Second Master Shui held the silver bill, his mouth from ear to ear. The first shipment of medicine was delivered quietly on October 5th. People saw that they were still loading the carriages later in the day, and they agreed to go on the road early the next morning. When they woke up in the morning, the carriage had long since disappeared. When did they leave? One person knows. After sending them off three times in a row, Shuan Wuzi became restless, and ran to Erye Shui and said, "Second Master, you can't let them go. It's dark and midnight, what the hell are they playing?" "Close your mouth, eat carrots and worry about it, and tie your belt strings." Shuan Wuzi lowered his head, and really saw that his belt rope was open. He must have peed in the corner just now, and suddenly saw the dog, and he didn't have time to tie it. Second Master Shui drove away the fifth son Shuan, lay down on the kang and smoked happily, thinking in his heart, if he planted like this for five years, hum! After the three trips of medicine were delivered, people were busy digging up the roots growing in the ground. Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan walked around the area as usual, watching everyone carefully.The medicine was sent away safely, and nothing happened on the way, but it can't be said that it won't be out now, and in his heart, he was still anxious about the medical team.Thinking about it this way, he stopped at Langlaoya Terrace, picking up food, leading Aunt Wu and Gougou to dig medicine in the field.For some reason, the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan became agitated, inexplicably agitated, whenever he saw the shadow of Shiliang these days.Sometimes, I even want to stop Shiliang and have a good time.It's a pity that the pharmacist Liu Xicai took Shiliang very seriously, and guarded him almost every step of the way. The two of them were very secretive, and they didn't know what they were talking about all day long.Pharmacist Liu Xicai has a strange temper. Don't think he came to Qingshiling to plant medicine with the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan, but if Qiu Jiayuan's words are reasonable, he will listen to them, and he will listen to those who are right. no way!He is so different from Cao Yaoshi in this point, no one in the courtyard has ever seen Cao Yaoshi dare to talk back to the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan, and it is too late to please, but this Liu Xicai is different.Adjutant Chou Jia watched from a distance, and in his heart, some weird thoughts came up one after another. These thoughts had actually been hidden in his heart for a long time, but he had no chance to say them out.Of course, he can't say it now, it's not yet time, he reminded himself. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Wuzi, yes, why did he forget him?Qiu Jiayuan was overjoyed, the problem that had puzzled him for many days seemed to be solved at once, he shouted happily to Xiao Wuzi: "Xiao Wuzi, Xiao Wuzi, come here." Hearing the sound, Xiao Wuzi walked up the ridge. He was a boy from the mountains a little older than Shiliang, but he was tall, solid, and fair-skinned. He was not as bitter as Shiliang. At first glance, it is flattering.Qiu Jiayuan remembered that he once had a quarrel with Xiao Wuzi. In fact, this child was suffering. He lost his mother when he was young. His father took him to work as a long-term worker in the Shui Family Compound, so he was considered to have grown up in the Shui Family Compound.One year, there was a plague in the gorge, and many people died. His father did not escape, and was finally burned down by a fire.After that, he grew up in this courtyard like a child of the Shui family. He was a playmate of Shui Yingying when he was young, and suffered a lot of bullying. Come.It should be said that Second Master Shui's affection for him is better than that of Shuan Wuzi, but he is not as clever as Shuan Wuzi, and he is not as clever as Shuan Wuzi. Slowly, Shuan Wuzi became a popular person in the courtyard. What about him? , is still the same, suffers from the hardships that the people in the courtyard do not wear, and wears clothes that the people in the courtyard don’t wear. Occasionally, Shui Yingying is dragged to accompany her to practice equestrianism, but every time her nose is bruised and her face is swollen, and her body is bruised and purple. piece.It wasn't until he came to collect food that his status was a little higher. "Chou...adjutant, you...call me?" This child stuttered whenever he saw Qiu's family far away. Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan smiled, Xiao Wuzi had already made up his mind when he came to the edge of the ground.The Qingshiling medicine team was established towards the end of October. Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan carefully selected eight of the more than forty helpers and servants, all of whom were about the same age as Xiao Wuzi.No one expected that Qiu Jiayuan made Xiao Wuzi the captain.On this day, he led the medical team to practice walking on the grassy beach.What do you do for walking? Everyone, including the eight medicine guards, felt that Qiu Jiayuan was playing a joke, but when they got to the grass beach and asked them to walk according to the instructions, they realized that these eight people really couldn't walk. Just when the medicine guards were making fools of themselves on the grassy beach, causing laughter on the grassy beach, on the ridge opposite the grassy beach, a few hundred paces to the east of Langlaoyatai, two shadows stood in front of a strange grass. This grass is really strange, it is not high, it just reaches the knee of a person, the stem is very thin, slightly thicker than Achnatherum splendens, but the leaves are huge, there are only five leaves on each plant, and one leaf is as big as the palm of your hand. shape.Flower buds on top.This flower is more and more strange, if you don't pay attention, it is difficult to see it blooming, it seems to bloom in an instant, and when you run over, the buds will become the same again.Pharmacist Liu Xicai also saw it blooming by accident, just for a flash, it was bright red, very eye-catching, and when he rushed over, the red was gone, and the buds were shy, like a girl's face dyed red. This grass is very rare, on such a big grassy beach, they only found six plants, hidden among the grass, not conspicuous at all.If it weren't for the occasional redness, it would be difficult for you to find this kind of grass in Qingshiling. Pharmacist Liu Xicai found out that this herb is called Urine Poison Weed, which is a rare herb, after visiting many experts around him and looking through the family's pharmacopoeia during the days when he went home to observe filial piety for his mother.According to the manuscript handed down to him by his father, urea poisonous weed is a perennial herb hidden among many grasses. Its growth period is from March to November, and its flowering period is variable and its flowers are extremely colorful.Excavated in autumn, the leaves are slightly poisonous and the stems are highly poisonous.Its stems and leaves are dried and can be used as traditional Chinese medicine, which has special effects on hemostasis.The roots are dried and boiled in sulfuric water to detoxify and regenerate blood. According to his father's manuscript analysis, his father had seen this kind of grass before his death, but unfortunately his experience and ability could not help him complete the research on this kind of grass.Liu Xicai felt sorry. But now, he finally saw this kind of grass, and found six plants. "Uncle, should I pick it or not?" Shiliang asked. "Baby, don't pick it first, let's look for it later." After finishing speaking, the two left there reluctantly, and walked forward again. Pharmacist Liu Xicai is lucky to meet Shiliang in this life, this baby is a fine individual!Don't look at his honest and dull appearance, but his heart is transparent.For medicine, he is simply talented.Pharmacist Liu Xicai became very excited when he thought about this. The sixteen-year-old Shiliang was simply a treasure bestowed on him by the heavens, an elf who came here specially for medicine.Hey, elf.The one who can find uremic weed in the wild grass all over the mountains is not an elf?Those who dare to risk their own lives and taste the poisonous weeds are not elves, so what?Lord, pharmacist Liu Xicai dare not think about it.On that day, the day when Shiliang was beaten to death and struggled to come back to life, pharmacist Liu Xicai hugged Shiliang and said, "Son, you are not a human being. If you can survive by struggling, you must be reincarnated by the God of Medicine." Baby, you are my uncle's treasure." Shiliang choked up and said, "Uncle, you saved me." "Uncle didn't save you, and uncle couldn't save you. Uncle's ability, how can he save people. You know, God didn't accept you, and asked you to do many, many things." The uncle and nephew were so excited and rejoiced that they shed several strings of tears.At the end, Shiliangzheng jumped up, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Uncle, where is grandma, are you going this time, have you been rescued?" Pharmacist Liu Xicai suddenly lost his excitement, froze his body for a long time, and said: "Baby Don't ask, people have a limited lifespan, and when it's time to go, you have to go." Shiliang's expression froze on his face. These days, pharmacist Liu Xicai and Shiliang spent the rest of their time looking for medicines except collecting them.The two of them almost agreed that this Qingshiling was not just a place where cattle and sheep grew, but also that there were grasses all over the mountains and mountains, and they might not be able to tell which one was the divine grass.God paid off, in addition to six poisonous urine plants, they also found seven kinds of poisonous weeds.God is weird, the grass grows strangely, the more poisonous it is, the more it can cure diseases, there are many such records in the Pharmacopoeia, the grass is non-toxic but asexual, and if it is asexual, it can only be grass, which is condensed due to poison Aura, the essence is made of aura.Who can explain the principles of the world clearly, fighting poison with poison is probably the most unreasonable principle, but it is all human diseases, follow this principle, and you can find a cure. Pharmacist Liu Xicai was talking about reasoning, while looking for strange places high in the ridge.As for all precious grass, eight or nine out of ten are born in this strange and dangerous place.Fear, this is another reason. A shocking news suddenly spread to He's house in Donggou. He Dakun, who was beating vegetables in the courtyard, sat on the ancient pier for a long time and said, "What?" The He family doesn't grow many vegetables. The He family has always been not interested in vegetables and beans. They think that planting these messy things is a waste of land. They only place some symbolically on the ridge every year, harvest them in autumn, and take them back to the yard. Hammer, don't go to the field to beat.This is just the opposite of Shui Laoer, who can give up a large piece of land to plant rapeseed flowers all over the mountains. I felt that my life was not in vain.When he planted poppies, he also had this mentality in mind. He loved poppies so much. If the flowers bloomed overwhelmingly, would there be any other flowers in this world?Hehe, I didn't expect it, let him hit the right way, Meimei made a fortune with poppies.However, the He family seemed to be duty-bound and conservative. The land in Donggou was either wheat or barley. The low-lying areas were opened up and yams were planted, all of which could directly support their lives. Farmers, plant those gimmicky things, who are you showing them to? Today's He Dakun didn't have time to mock Shui's second son, so he stared at the person who came and asked, "What did you say, say it again!" "He Dongjia, I, I..." The person who came was Donggou's tinkerer, who traveled here and there throughout the year, carrying some broken household items on his back to mend pots for others.Tinker said he saw poplars.The tinkerer said that he saw the second child, He Shuyang! "Say it again, Tinker, speak louder, and say it again." He Dakun suddenly turned up and grabbed Tinker. The second child of the He family in Donggou is not dead, he is alive and well, and he is in this gorge! "However, looking at it like that, he seems to have no money, and his clothes are very shabby." Potmaker Hualiu lowered his head and muttered. "Why don't you call him here? You Hualiu, you poor potmaker, why don't you arrest him?" He Dakun scolded the potter while tearing up the pottery, and shouted at the boss, He Shuhuai: "Hurry up!" Bring the money!" He misunderstood what Tinker Hualiu said as asking him for money. He Shuyang, the second son of the He family in Donggou, is indeed not dead, he is in the gorge. This point can be proved by the person who cut the hole.Two days ago, the person who cut the acupuncture point came to cut the acupuncture point in Yehungou, and another person died in Donggou. An old widow, who had no man on the 16th, spent her whole life guarding her only seedling. The only seedling is a flooded pond, which means born It was too late to see his father in time.However, this child is very filial, and as soon as mother got off her feet, she ran to Xigou herself and kowtowed to invite her to come. Wild soul ditch is a mass burial beach, except for the He family in Donggou who don't bury people in this ditch, and people who died in Donggou will crowd here.The tomb is so densely packed that no one can tell its owner except where it came from. There are still people in the ditch who have burned the wrong paper money for several years. The origin came to Yehungou when the shadow of the sun was setting. According to the rules of cutting the cave, the widow’s grave must be broken after the sun sets. It’s too early to break. Those ghosts with men don’t agree. It’s too late. , he is a man in a hurry.Light a cigarette on the way, and wait for the sun to fully set.At this time, some things popped into his mind, most of which were related to the grave in Yehungou.After careful calculation, most of the graves in this wild soul ditch were beheaded by him. Except in the wild years, when it was too late to beheaded, the dead would dig into it as soon as they thought.Usually, it is still very particular.I clearly remember the origin, he cut two feet off Wumazi's acupuncture point, a cobbler in Donggou, which Wumazi owed him.Back then when Wu Mazi sewed a leather jacket for him, he insisted on exchanging a piece of lambskin for old sheepskin. He argued with him about the origin, but he actually revealed the origin.That slap still hurts now.For Zhang Twelve's grave at the bottom of the cliff on the left, he cut two inches to the west, and the hole was a little crooked.It was also Zhang Twelve who owed him.When I was young, I fell in love with Taotao from Xigou, and wanted to marry him as a companion. I had already talked about it, but I didn't want Zhang Twelve to get in the way. He has been a bachelor all his life, and he has never tasted what a woman is like.Lose!If I don't cut you crooked, can I leave it to me?He glared bitterly at the direction where Zhang Twelve was lying, and then vomited again.I thought, now you know how powerful I am?Don't look at it, it's tilted two inches to the west, none of your descendants are good!The eldest was lame, the second was blind, and the third was safe and sound, but the mule of the He family kicked a hoof, which happened to kick into the crotch, hehe, useless.Looking to the east again, the grave on the east side has few hands and feet, and most of the sleepers are poor people who are as miserable as him.The only thing he didn't let go of was Mao Liu, the man from his second aunt.Because of this, I regretted my origin for half my life, and sometimes I really wanted to secretly dig up Mao Liu's grave and cut it up again.But at that time, no wonder why.He lived on a slope, he was at the top of the slope, Mao Liu was at the bottom of the slope, he could have been fine, but Mao Liu said that the water from the eaves of Lai Lu's house flowed down and entered his courtyard, making his house uneasy, It is necessary to move down the slope.Yo, hey, how can there be water in the eaves of my house, just those two broken kiln holes, and it rains all over the kiln, can it flow outside?Because of this matter, Sixth Mao had been arguing with him for half his life, and the relationship between the two aunts was so good that it was frozen.Later, Shiyang fell ill and never dared to look for his second aunt again.Mao Liu's words were even more poisonous: "That's good, this is the retribution, it's good to be all fools." Listen, is this called human talk?A few days after he finished speaking, Sixth Mao got bombed!He went to carry coal in the small kiln, and the first shot made him dumb, and when he ran to light it the second time, the squib rang loudly and blew himself up.When cutting the acupoints, I thought about the way I came from, should I use my hands and feet?Think about Mao Liu, who can move his hands and feet.Thinking about my second aunt, I don't think so.Contradictions come and go, just a little movement, leaving a pimple on the wall of the cave, which can't be easily seen by outsiders, but the cause is clear in the heart.After that, he lived in fear, fearing that there would be some unrest in his second aunt's house. Fortunately, after a few years, they lived in peace, and he was relieved of his origin, thinking that a lump might not work.Just when I was happy, my second aunt suddenly called out: "Back pain." At first, I didn't pay attention to the origin. Generally speaking, if you do something in the hole, the accident is not on the wife, but mostly on the children. The second aunt's family has no children, so this retribution cannot be discussed. superior.Unexpectedly, two years later, the second aunt's waist suddenly bent, and a strange pot appeared on her back! Mom, this thing is really not done casually! The intestines are green with regret. The sun finally disappeared completely, and the western sky sent a bloody dusk, dyeing the whole mountain bloody red. I thought it was time. This sky is called Lao Lai Fu, a kind of comfort to the dead It is this person who has good luck in old age and better luck in death, and carries all the blessings of his life on his back.Lai Lu even thought that it would be great if he could catch up with such a good weather after he lost his temper.No blessing is as good as being old, and no luck is as good as death.The source raised the shovel and shouted to the west: "The ground has been broken, the lonely ghost has gone far, and the land owner's grandfather has closed his eyes—" Sandaozi Huangxiang was lit, three pieces of yellow paper were burned, and a scarlet quilt was hung up. Lai Lu reverently kowtowed to the shovel and wet soil he had dug. The ground is wetland, and the soil is loose soil. It is not troublesome to cut holes in October. I came to the roadside to dig the soil and looked around.The wild soul ditch at dusk is particularly beautiful. Those piles of tombs hidden in the grass are like people who jumped out to lie to him. Look, now that I've fallen asleep and slowed down, I realized that he came from a certain person, this person can't be messed with, and everyone wants to please him.The source smiled and said a little mischievously: "I made you sleepless, and I only realized after suffering, it was too late." The sunset gradually receded, and the night slowly opened up. Standing in the cave, Lulu had already concentrated on it.Cutting the hole is nothing more than idle work. Once the ground is cut, the person who cut the hole has to stay focused and move the shovel as he pleases, and he can't dig the wrong place with a single shovel.The grave of the old widow is an old grave, and her man is waiting by the side. At this time, I am afraid that I will squat on the grave and open my eyes.Don't dare to be distracted by the way.It is said that when her man was alive, he was powerful. No one is not afraid of this thing Ergou.It's not because he's afraid of how fierce he is, but because of his eyes, which are said to be able to see all the little tricks in people's hearts.It's a pity, at a young age, he was killed by an illness. Everyone said that he was smart to death, but he didn't believe his origin. How can people die smart? After cutting the way he came from for a while, when the acupuncture point reached half a person's depth, he stopped and stood on the middle line of the acupuncture point, staring at Zhaoshan in front of him.Although the darkness firmly blocked his sight, the direction of Zhaoshan was imprinted in his heart, even if he closed his eyes, he wouldn't miss it.There is another special point about this point, which has to be cut along the direction of Zhaoshan and the backing. As the saying goes, there is Zhaoshan in the front, backing in the back, and a south wall in the middle. This point is good Fengshui.However, the acupoints cannot be cut too straight. Cutting too straight is good for the owner's family, but it is not good for the person who cuts the acupoints.For a while, I just wanted to avoid the positive direction, so that the acupoints should be as far away from the central axis as possible, but not too far away.This is the old widow's acupoint. It's not so careful to replace it with someone else. As long as your owner can't see it, he doesn't care how bad it is.But the old widow can't, the old widow is a good person, she stayed on the 16th, and it is easy to pull a baby who is still in the womb into a person?Based on this, he will give the old widow a good acupuncture point! Just as I set my direction and was about to set off the shovel, there was a rustling sound from the graveyard. At first I didn’t pay attention to the way it came from, thinking it was the wind. After a while, the sound became more and more real and closer. When he reached the cave, he panicked.My God, could it be that her man thinks that I am off the beaten path, not in the right direction, and jumps out to scare me?Lai Lu hurriedly said: "You are in charge, don't force me. If I cut to the right, my baby will have no luck. You should leave a way for my baby." He took out a piece of yellow paper, ignited it, and a gust of wind blew away the yellow paper in his hand.The night was getting darker and darker, so dark that people couldn't see where the sky was and where the mountains were. Listening carefully, the sound disappeared, really disappeared.It seems that he is really that ghost, hehe, it's not very smart to dismiss it with just a piece of paper.Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly raised his head, and saw a tall black shadow standing on the grave, clearly, and frightened, he screamed, and wanted to jump out after throwing the shovel, but he couldn't get out. It's loosening the soil, so I can't use it hard.Lai Lu cast his gaze over again, oh my god, I cut off the acupoints for a lifetime, how could anyone block them?He knelt down with a plop, took out the yellow paper, and started talking. "Ghosts and gods, go away. I have lived my whole life. I have never cheated anyone, never harmed anyone, and never taken advantage of anyone. Even if I think carefully about the acupuncture point, it is just a breath of effort. As for his family What happens, it has nothing to do with the acupoints, it really doesn't matter." It's okay if it doesn't make sense, but once it was said, the black shadow jumped straight up and down the edge of the acupuncture point, and rushed towards him. The way he came was scared to death. Those who jump up and down from the hole are neither ghosts nor gods.When the source felt that it was a living person, a voice rang out from the hole: "Uncle, it's me." He Shuyang left Miaoergou when the sun had set and the western sky was turning red. Originally, he wanted to cross Qingfeng Gorge overnight, cross Sister River, cross Hengshan Mountain, and go to Bapanmo.Their base was in Bapanmo, but according to the information he got, the gendarmerie had already mastered Bapanmo, and he had to notify those left behind before dawn to evacuate Bapanmo quickly.Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in the gorge, he discovered that he was being followed. Good old seven Hong, dare to play this hand with me!何树杨心想，一定是中了庙儿沟财主洪老七的计，这个人面兽心的东西，竟然暗中跟宪兵队勾结。何树杨加速脚步，想借着峡里密密麻麻的树躲开宪兵队的追杀。同时，他的心里涌上一股对时势的怕。形势是在两天前突然恶化的，本来，青风团吊死候团副，做得神不知鬼不觉，没人怀疑是他们干的。但，有人将这事捅到了西安，西安方面一听凉州如此乱，立刻下令，全力围剿青风团，将共党斩草除根！ 这下，冯传五立功的机会到了，调集起方方面面的人马，全力开进古浪县，开始缉拿青风团。就在昨天晚上，老黄让人告密，全家抓了进去。 何树杨冒着极大的危险跑到庙儿沟通知黄牛他们，黄牛他们不死心，非要做洪老七的工作，说只要财主洪老七支持，整个庙儿沟就能发动起来。 谁知冯传五的人这么快就闻到气味。 何树杨左转右拐，凭借着对地形的熟悉，赶在天黑尽前甩掉了尾巴，但心里，却墨黑墨黑。突然而起的剿杀风声令他刚刚兴奋起的神经再次陷入灰暗，经历了几番曲折，他对前面的路越发困惑，越发看不清方向。况且，他加入青风团，是背着副官仇家远的，如果让他知道，后果不堪设想。 何树杨越过姊妹河，快到西沟口子时，突然冒出一个想法，他要见一次仇家远，至少，要听听他的口风。这时候天已黑得伸手不见五指，何树杨想，莫不如趁此机会偷偷去趟家里，跟哥哥何树槐见一面。至少，要让家里人知道，他还活着，还在青风峡。谁知刚踩到桥上，就有人冲他扑来。 这个夜晚，东沟少爷何树杨再一次经历了生死大逃离，所幸的是，扑向他的并不是宾兵队，而是第二天跑到他家报信的锅匠，只是夜太黑，何树杨没看清罢了。何树杨一气跑进野魂沟，心想这地方乱坟堆积，好藏身。再者，宪兵队的人也不见得敢跟来。 东沟少爷何树杨在老寡妇的穴里窝了一夜，斩穴人来路等他把话说完，心才安定下来。不过，这一夜他也过得提心吊胆，生怕宪兵队冒出个不怕死的，跑这乱坟堆里抓人。直等到天上透出亮，来路探出身，四下巴望一阵，见野魂沟静静的，不像何家少爷说得那么夸张，这才说：“你走吧，趁天还未大亮，赶紧跑。” 太阳刚照到青石岭上，水家大院便迎来两个稀罕客人。一进院，何大鹍就冲管家老橛头吼：“老橛头，你家的贵客哩，我要见他。” 老橛头一看何东家脸色不好，跟在身后的大姑爷何树槐更是黑青着脸，知道这两个人清早八时的赶来绝没好事，故意干笑了几声，带几分做作地说：“我说早起咋喜鹊叫呢，原来今儿个要来贵客啊。” “去，少拿你那张马脸日弄人，我找你家二爷的贵客，仇家远！” “我在这里。”副官仇家远正在树荫下打拳，听见嚷，走了出来。 东沟财主何大鹍并没像上次自己家见到仇家远时那样抱拳施礼，上次是碍着县长孔杰玺和白会长的面，他才委屈自己。这次，就不一样了，对这个比他小一辈的年轻人，东沟财主何大鹍现在心里充满了恨，这仇恨甚至漫延到平阳川仇达诚身上。“他养了一个好儿子啊！”这是昨天晚上他骂过的话。 他瞅住穿着雪白衬衣的仇家远，足足瞅了有几分钟，才说：“仇大副官果然非同凡响，做出的事真是让我何某佩服。” “我做什么了？”副官仇家远强迫自己镇定，很有礼貌地先向何家父子施了礼。 “做什么了？你问得我倒不好回答。仇副官呀，你一条小计，就挖走了我何家三年的粮食，这倒也罢了，怪我何某是老朽，脑子不够用。不过，你拿我家老二玩我，也太狠点了吧。” 一听老二，仇家远脸色猛地一暗：“何东家，进屋里说话，院里人多嘴杂，不好讲。” “不！我何某明人不做暗事，今儿个我就是要当着这一院人的面，跟你问个明白，我家老二，到底犯了哪门子王法？” “何东家，不，何大伯，快进屋，快请。” “姓仇的，你吃我青风峡，喝我青风峡，又占着我青风峡的地，竟然还跟官府勾结起来，干这种没良心的事！” “谁占你青风峡的地了？”何大鹍正发着怒，身后突然响来水二爷的声音。东沟财主何大鹍也是气急了，居然说：“水家的，没你的事，你到自个屋里呆着去。” “哟哟，这是哪里来的天王爷呀，说话口气咋这么大？让我到屋里呆着去，你抬头看看，你顶的是谁的天？再低头瞧瞧，踩的是谁的地？” “水家的，你——”何大鹍被水二爷一席话气得身子发抖。 “管家，今儿个初几呀？”水二爷回过身子，故意冲管家发问。 “回二爷话，今儿个初九。” “初九？我还以为今儿个初十七哩，这日子，没倒着来吧？” “水老二，你——！”何大鹍一听水二爷在挖苦他，脸比太阳下的山头还红。“管家，我眼睛不好使，你四下瞅瞅，哪儿的东西放回哪儿去。”说完，水二爷抖抖他的缎子长袍，迈着八字步儿，走了。 何树槐脸上僵一阵白一阵，正要跟上去唤声岳父，父亲何大鹍猛地拽住他：“你小子是不是也眼花了，看不清哪是你的爹！” 管家老橛头把热闹看到这儿，觉得再看下去，这两亲家就会闹出丑事来，忙陪着笑道：“何东家，大姑爷，行了，说几句就行了，这大清早的，何必呢？快请，屋里请。” 何大鹍一扭身子，腾腾腾进了后院。 等到坐下，副官仇家远才小心翼翼问：“何家大伯，你刚才说的二公子树杨，到底咋回事？” “咋回事，姓仇的，你少跟我装蒜。甭看你是吃粮人，腰里别着歪把子，我何大鹍也不是让谁吓着长大的。今儿个你要不把老二的事给我说清楚，我没完！”何树槐接过话道：“仇副官，有人前儿黑在峡口看见老二了，我爹急，昨儿个打听了一天，没信儿，所以，今儿一大早就跑来……” “少跟他啰嗦！这种人，你跟他说好话他还以为你好欺负！” 副官仇家远下意识地哦了一声，脸，赤一阵白一阵，后来，竟显出几分气短地说：“不会吧，这怎么可能？” 副官仇家远绝不是在装傻，这件事，真是意外，不只意外，甚至……这事说来话长，那个夜黑，副官仇家远突然决定让何家二公子何树杨去办一件事，也是事出无奈。白日里他突然接到西安陆军长一封密令，要他火速为另一个地方送药。这事发生得太突然，副官仇家远一点思想准备都没，且不说要送的地方令他震惊，单就时间也来不及，况且，他手下根本就没多余的人。但，陆军长的脾气他知道，既然让他送，他就必须无条件地按时送到。况且密令是十万火急的，证明那个地方确实发生了药荒。仇家远正在情急中，上天突然给他派来何树杨。对何树杨，仇家远当然不会一无所知，何家二公子在凉州城里闹腾的那些事，他几乎没怎么费力就都知道了。当下，他就如此这般将何家二公子敲打了一通，并告诫他，如果送药失败，丢掉性命的不只是他，何家老小怕是……所幸，那趟药何树杨是按时送到了，据一同去的马帮头目讲，何家二少爷，人机灵着哩，办起事儿来也还周到，只是……“只是什么？”仇家远急于想了解这个人，这也是他当初做决断的一个理由。“这人太年轻，没经过啥风浪，怕有一天……” 仇家远没再往下问，不过从此，他对何树杨就打了个问号。 送药回来，何树杨几次托人问他，能不能回家？仇家远坚决不同意，他用同样的手段控制了何树杨，让他隐姓埋名，暂且在八盘磨安下身来，说随时听候他的吩咐。仇家远这样做，自然有他的道理，眼下局势复杂，不是一句话两句话能讲得清的，况且他现在肩负着两条线上的送药任务，人手便是大问题。不管怎样，安排何树杨往外送药，他还是放心的。只是，他怎么跟青风团搅在了一起？ 候团副吊死的那个夜晚，他跟县长孔杰玺也谈过这事，县长孔杰玺认为，青风团这样做，未必是好事，图一时之快而置大局于不顾，是兵家之大忌，会把到手的大好形势给毁掉。果然，他回到青石岭没几天，风向突变，形势对他跟孔杰玺都极为不利。这些日子，他已通过各种渠道阻止事态的进一步恶化，但事实表明，西安方面这次决心很大，大有把星星之火灭尽灭绝的态势。他这才将希望转移到护药队身上。谁知这个节骨眼上，何树杨竟暴露了自己。 副官仇家远忍住内心的焦急，硬着头皮把何大鹍的骂挨完，见何大鹍火气小了，他赶忙道：“何家大伯，你先回去，我这就找孔县长，看看到底是怎么回事。如果二公子真的在青风峡，我把他立马带回家。” 何家父子揣着极为不满的情绪走掉后，仇家远顾不上跟水二爷说一声，打马厩牵了马，就往草滩去。 十月的大草滩显出一派宁静中的肃穆，刚刚被何家父子坐骑惊过的草滩眨眼间又被更为急促的马蹄声惊起。仇家远策马而行，脑子里是关于自己到青石岭的神圣使命，以及由这使命引起的种种凶险。他再次告诫自己，一定要沉住气，任何时候，都不能犯冒险的错误。 坐骑眼看着要追上何家父子，仇家远突然一紧马僵，朝何家父子相反的方向奔去。 太阳直直地照在大鹰嘴上的时候，副官仇家远已将马藏好，他在马背上拍拍，安顿马儿千万别乱发声。然后顺着石崖，一步步来到谷底。清凌凌的姊妹河立刻将秋末的凉意袭来，他连着打了几个寒噤，心想，这谷底就是凉啊。他在崖壁下学了几声蛙叫，就见早已候在洞穴里的疙瘩五钻出来。 疙瘩五一见仇家远，就神色紧张地说：“不好了，八盘磨暴露了，里面的同志没来得及撤，全让抓走了。” “这事我知道，我正在想办法，你回头去找白会长，让他从商会那边也想想办法。” 疙瘩五点头。 “我问你，何树杨怎么回事，他怎么进了青风团？” “这事我也不晓得，听猴子说，好像青风团有他一个同学，介绍他进去的。”“胡闹！” 一听疙瘩五这样说，仇家远心里越发不安：“我不是再三叮嘱过么，没有我的同意，谁也不能接受何树杨。” “这事他们也瞒着我，我也是昨儿晚才听到的。” “何树杨哩，现在在哪？”仇家远顾不上发火，紧着问。 “我也正要问你哩，他不见了，还以为在你那儿。” "what?!" 这下，仇家远就不只是惊了。八盘磨出事到现在，已经过去了一天多，何树杨既然没回到八盘磨，又能在哪？ Will it? “不行，你我分头去找，记住了，找到何树杨，让他哪儿也别去，还是那句话，我对这个人不大放心。” 说完，仇家远顾不上跟疙瘩五多扯，急忙返身，沿着崖壁往上攀。刚攀到大鹰嘴，正要喘口气，忽然见水英英一脸险恶地横在他面前。 何树杨失踪了！ 一连几天，仇家远都打听不到他的消息，暗中派出去打探消息的人一个个回来，全都摇头，仇家远急得心里的火都要喷出来。 这天他来到县城，县长孔杰玺也是一派焦虑，他能到哪儿去呢？县长孔杰玺已这样问了好几遍。仇家远道：“他现在还不跟我们联系，那就只有一个可能，出事了。” "You mean?" “我们必须从坏处想，都怪我，听到的太晚了。”仇家远非常后悔，错就错在青风团的失控上，这是一支最先由青年学生发起的组织，起初的目的是动员和说服各自的家庭，捐出钱物来支援前方，后来又发展为向全县富商及豪门大户做工作，想争取更多的支持。仇家远插手时，青风团的力量已很大，到底有多少人，他现在也说不准。他只是派进去两个很关键的角色，要他们务必引导青风团，往正确的路子上走，同时，要保持跟他的联系，遇有情况，随时报告。 县长孔杰玺怀着不安的心情问：“如果他真的出事，对你，会不会有危险？”仇家远阴着脸道：“暂时还不好说，不过，往二号线送药的事，他知道。”“什么？！”县长孔杰玺大惊失色。仇家远这才把安排何树杨往二号线送药的事说了出来。县长孔杰玺气得直拍桌子：“好啊，你连我也瞒，不是说你把他暗中保护起来了么？荒唐！” “我……”仇家远一时语塞，不知该如何向孔杰玺解释。 仇家远的确隐瞒了县长孔杰玺，当时他给县长孔杰玺的信中只说何树杨在他手里，要县长孔杰玺只管按信上的法子跟财主何大鹍要银子。这也是仇家远想出的一个不是办法的办法。自从他被陆军长以副官的身份派到凉州，仇家远遇到的最大难题便是银子。日本鬼子穷凶极恶，铁蹄已践踏了我半壁河山。前方将士浴血奋战，伤亡惨重，需要后方提供的补给越来越多，可单凭商会的力量，远远不够。凉州的老财和富商们又全都装出一副事不关己的样，双手捂着钱袋子，不肯主动为国家分忧解难。如果单是给一号线供药，仇家远还能应付，现在又突然命令他同时向二号线供药，这银子的事，就一下显得紧巴起来。没办法，仇家远只好出此下策，逼着何大鹍们先掏银子。他私下告知县长孔杰玺，何大鹍拿去的银子还有财物悉数照收，不过不白拿，就算是先借用一下，等战事缓和下来，再想办法退还给他。 何大鹍交到县长孔杰玺和白会长手里的银两，孔杰玺都在暗中打了借条。之所以不把何树杨送药的事说出来，是怕县长孔杰玺将戏演砸，让精明的何大鹍看出破绽。 没等仇家远解释完，县长孔杰玺便紧着道：“你还在这里瞎解释什么，还不赶快回去善后！” 县长孔杰玺的担心绝不是多余，仇家远刚回到青风峡，脚步还没踏上大草滩，水英英便从僻背处跳出来，堵住他。 “有事？”仇家远勒住马缰，问。 “你还有心思瞎逛啊，家里，家里出事了！”
