Chapter 9 Part 1.5.3

Before arriving in the Liberated Areas, they were upper-class people. After arriving in the Liberated Areas, they were upper-class people.Now a retired elementary school teacher also came to make irresponsible remarks to him, which really made him choke up.If it weren't for the fact that she was Wu Wei's mother, Hu Bingchen would have made her look good on the spot. But Hu Bingchen, who is proud of his talents, should hide how many skills of being mean and mean to others? Coupled with the party's decades of experience in pairing, confrontation, game, and correspondence, it only takes a little skill to tease Ye Lianzi, who has been swallowing her anger and clumsy tongue all her life, in the palm of her hand.

Don't talk about the retired elementary school teacher Ye Lianzi, even his father-in-law who is more valuable than Ye Lianzi - Bai Fan's father, why did he pay attention to it? Once he said to Wu Wei very disdainfully: "Bai Fan's father was a clerk of the old court, and also a 'Zhongtong', that is, a secret agent. He was a graduate of the Chinese Department of Peking University and was a gambler when he was young. I bought him a house, worth about 200 yuan, and he lost 170 yuan in one night, and the house was gone. Later, he had to live in a small house in the backyard of a big family, still in bed. A hole was dug at the bottom to raise chickens. He slept on the bed, and the chickens slept under the bed. The first time I went to see him, because he was very airy in a suit, he panicked, and the chickens flew out of the window, and he ran away. Going out to chase chickens... I took the train and left that night. After liberation, I went to see him. He didn't want to leave money for him, but he wanted me to send it to him, because the sender's name and address can be seen on the money order : So-and-so department, so-and-so person, he can show it to others, and say to them: "Look, my son-in-law is a minister, and he still sends me one hundred yuan every month. My daughter did not marry a minister for nothing." Although he won't remember others' offenses for a long time, he will never forget Ye Lianzi's ignorance of flattery, so he refused his reward, making him the first rejection in his life, who had never been rejected before.

Especially after marrying Wu Wei, the confrontation between Ye Lianzi and him ended in a crushing defeat. Isn't this Wu Wei's complete betrayal of Ye Lianzi, who was struggling in suffering and depended on her for life? When Hu Bingchen was proud, he ignored, or it was impossible to understand, how much Ye Lianzi was wronged by him, and how many unresolvable deadlocks Wu Wei had with him. Although Ye Lianzi never told Wu Wei that Hu Bingchen was contemptuous and mean to her, neither Ye Lianzi nor Hu Bingchen knew that Wu Wei had a talent for perceiving Ye Lianzi, otherwise she wouldn't have been in ten months. When she was growing up, even if she was greedy and hungry, if the eldest brother of the Dong family gave her a steamed bun, he would let Ye Lianzi eat it first.

ten months! In all fairness, Hu Bingchen didn't look forward to Ye Lianzi's death or be happy about her death, but once she died, he couldn't help thinking that Wu Wei would be completely owned by him from now on.But he was wrong, once Ye Lianzi died, he completely lost Wu Wei. Ye Lianzi, and the contempt and meanness he once gave Ye Lianzi, stood between him and Wu Wei forever. Especially when Ye Lianzi hadn't passed "Qi Qi", he was anxious to have sex with Wu Wei. Wu Wei, who had just lost his mother, endured the grief and actively cooperated, hoping to make up for him a lesson that he hadn't enjoyed for many days.While begging Ye Lianzi's spirit in heaven to forgive her, she kept crying.Wu Wei's tears flowed down his cheeks, wetting Hu Bingchen's arm under Wu Wei's neck, but he pretended not to know and continued to struggle.He can't be blamed for his eagerness to please. Based on his understanding of sex, how can there be anyone in the world who can resist the temptation of sex?He thought that through his efforts, Wu Wei, who was unable to extricate himself from grief, would always be happy.Unexpectedly, the harder he worked, the harder Wu Wei cried. The silent tears turned into audible sobs. He couldn't keep pretending that he didn't know, so he gave up resentfully, jumped out of bed, and shouted: "I As a man's life, you will ruin it all!" Then she picked up the quilt and went to sleep in Fu Rong's room.

If the receptor of a man who is in love is in this competitive state when the man is enjoying the pleasure of the bed, it will undoubtedly be a bad blow to the man who enters the "state", so he should not deal with Hu Bingchen. Resentment expresses disapproval.Shortly thereafter, Wu Wei suffered from tuberculosis of the fallopian tubes, and their lovemaking became a rigorous scientific experiment in a scientific laboratory or an operation in a surgical operating room. At the later stage of their marriage, except for fleeing from Hu Bingchen, Wu Wei had to have the last unsuccessful lovemaking with him, they didn't make love at all.

It's not that Hu Bingchen has no chance to make up for the harm done to Wu Wei by Ye Lianzi's death on the issue of sex, but this opportunity completely destroys a mistake that may have been accidental.Wu Wei was very unaccustomed to being naked in front of Hu Bingchen. That day when she was changing clothes in the bedroom, she asked Hu Bingchen to go out, but Hu Bingchen refused.She thought about it, yes, how could a woman make such a request to her husband. She changed her clothes with her face turned away, not knowing how disgusted and contemptuous Hu Bingchen looked at her body.That's all for now, but Hu Bingchen said suddenly: "I never imagined that the skin on your body has sagged so much."

Maybe it was just an expression of mood, not insulting her at all.The gap between her and him in various aspects due to age has now narrowed, or it is just his hope that it has narrowed.As these gaps narrowed, his psychological barriers gradually disappeared.Although Wu Wei never cared about these gaps, he always had dark ghosts in his heart. To Wu Wei's ears, it was full of frenzied malice. Maybe it's not malicious, but Hu Bingchen just can't see that the skin on the body with more than 20 rings less than him is still tight, healthy and shiny, and elastic, which makes him jealous and longing at the same time .That's right, the skin on her body will not be reduced to his current condition for at least twenty years.

So he never misses an opportunity to destroy that gap. This destruction is so effective, especially this time, it can be compared with the famous bomb dropped by the Americans on Hiroshima in 1945, so that the stubborn Japanese finally pulled off the plaster flag plaster heart on.The poisonous sun that has been sticking to the Pacific Rim since the end of the nineteenth century finally sank to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Hu Bingchen may not know that this kind of desire, which cannot be regarded as bad, not only destroys the gap between him and Wu Wei, but also destroys Wu Wei's interest in gender, which really completely destroys Wu Wei's life as a woman. It also destroys the sex between them.

It's no wonder that after Hu Bingchen divorced her, some friends saw her floating around like a lonely ghost, and persuaded her kindly: "Don't talk about love, even if you find a companion to accompany you." She looked at the kind friend strangely, and said darkly: "You feel that you are entangled on the bed with two old bastards, is there any viewing value?" . Wu Wei didn't want to be naked in front of Hu Bingchen, let alone being sized up and judged by a man like this, it's like judging an animal, which piece of meat can be used for grilling steak, which piece of meat can be used for braised, which piece of meat can be used To make soup... No, not even my own husband.She turned around abruptly, didn't say anything, just looked at Hu Bingchen very strangely.

Many years ago, when they got married, Hu Bingchen's whole body was already sagging.The sagging skin was so severe that he looked not like a man but a woman, and a very old woman at that.But she never cared, his body was not important to her, what she wanted was him and his love. Unexpectedly, he detested her first. Behind her strange demeanor, thousands of thoughts and words surged, even if she uttered one, it would make Hu Bingchen feel uncomfortable.But she didn't speak, not a word. Maybe she still loves him.Don't say to a person who is still in love, even to an irrelevant person who really needs to do some self-examination, she can't say a word: "Please take a look at yourself."

Because he is really old.How sad for an elderly man to be reminded that he is the one who deserves this judgment. The age gap, especially in terms of sex, determines their status at the beginning of marriage.She had always put his aging masculine self-respect above her feminine self-respect.No matter how much Hu Bingchen hurt her, she was unwilling to retaliate against him on such an issue that might cost an old man his life. If he was younger than her, or even just a few years older than her, she would not be so magnanimous. So Hu Bingchen couldn't understand at all that Wu Wei decided something between them with this strange expression. When he wanted to have sex with her again, she tried every means, pushing left and right to block.This made Hu Bingchen very annoyed, and said ruthlessly many times: "Bai Fan never dared to treat me like this." "Then why did you divorce her?" "Because she won't let me fuck." Wu Wei didn't mind the word "fuck", after all he came from Yan'an, not to mention that she herself often made rude remarks; even though Hu Bingchen often used such words, when he put on his coat and walked out of the house, especially when he saw intellectual women, he still An English gentleman. What she cares about is her status in Hu Bingchen's heart.In this way, how much better is her status than Bai Fan? "You—you—that is, you're just looking for a woman to fuck, right?" But he obviously loved her, and loved her to death! Hu Bingchen didn't answer.Although what he said was angry, it could not be miscalculated.Seriously speaking, didn't he want to find a woman to fuck when he married Bai Fan back then?Otherwise, with his suave manner, how could it be Bai Fan's turn? The two old calendar years of 1935 and 1936, as classics, will last forever in Ye Lianzi's heart.From the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, they began to prepare new year's goods.Gu Qiushui also bought some mixed fruit and dried fruit for Ye Lianzi.If a man who grew up in the city of Beiping, it's not surprising to think of buying some mixed dried fruit for his wife during the New Year, but Gu Qiushui is a man from the Northeast.When a man is still waiting to see a woman, he really has endless imagination when it comes to pampering a woman, and how many benefits can be created that women will never forget! They browsed in every mat shed in Dongsi Pailou, and the New Year picture sellers were flipping through stacks of New Year pictures while singing the stories in the New Year pictures.According to Gu Qiushui's intention, they chose the relatively simple and elegant "Ten Scenes of West Lake", and did not choose those dramas or fat dolls, or flowers, birds, fish and insects. According to the custom of her hometown, Ye Lianzi made dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut and pork, served with fermented bean curd and chive flowers.She pickled the sauerkraut herself, cooked a pot of sauerkraut vermicelli soup with streaky white meat, and made four small dishes of wine and vegetables for Gu Qiushui. As soon as I picked up the chopsticks, someone shouted from outside the gate: "Send the God of Wealth here!" Brother Yang and Sister-in-law Yang, who were in the opposite room, happily went out to pick up the God of Wealth, and it was necessary to give some money to the poor children who gave the God of Wealth.Aunt Yang said to them: "For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, let's wish everyone good luck. Where are you two having New Year's Eve dinner?" Ye Lianzi said, "I'm about to eat." After the New Year's Eve dinner, Ye Lianzi put on the camel coat, and went to the street with Gu Qiushui to watch the flowers.The empty and deep streets and alleys seemed blind, except for the lights outside the shops, blinking like ice flowers in the snow.Suddenly a branch of flower popped out, like someone flicking out a flashing whip, and whipped it against the night. They had no relatives and friends to watch the new year until the fifth watch. After eating millet rice cakes, Ye Lianzi said: "It's so deserted." Gu Qiushui patted Ye Lianzi's stomach and said, "And he is watching the new year with us!" Before I fell asleep, the firecrackers rang.When the first firecracker to greet the new year and the last firecracker to bid farewell to the old sounded, Ye Lianzi felt Wu Wei kicked in the stomach. She froze for a moment, but didn't say anything to Gu Qiushui.What is the meaning of Wu Wei's kick?Maybe, maybe not. Such days are actually very ordinary, but against the backdrop of the background of her uncle and aunt, and the days of lonely nights and rainy nights and sleepless nights in the following decades, they are extraordinarily beautiful, which makes Ye Lianzi flattered and unforgettable. Except for Zenyue, the last two generations of women in the Ye family have been living in dire straits.People who live in dire straits usually have an abnormal sense of temperature. Wu Wei really shouldn't be discouraged by Ye Lianzi's statement of "the happiest day in her life". Her love for Ye Lianzi is just the love of the next generation for the previous generation. Like the next generation, they are meticulous and thoughtful in all details, and try their best, let alone the sweetness of replacing men and women in love? As the Lebanese writer Gibran who later settled in the United States said: "You are a bow, and your children are like the arrows of life, which are shot forward through you." Wu Wei was just an arrow shot forward with Ye Lianzi.How can arrows and bows be the same?An arrow cannot look back at the bow by which it moves forward, but the bow always stares at the arrow by which it is shot forward. Like the gunfire on the Aurora cruiser during the October Revolution, this day was finally shattered by the Xi'an Incident at the end of 1936.That morning, after seeing the report that General Zhang Xueliang had been detained in Nanjing, Gu Qiushui rushed to Bao Tianjian's house before going to the military training class, and wept bitterly, patting the newspaper in his hand and saying, "It's over, it's over, we won't do it again." I can't go back to the Northeast!" What did he do?What does it have to do with him if he can't go back to the Northeast?Gu Qiushui has neither a tael of silver nor an inch of land in the northeast.By this time, he had no official position in the Northeast Army. But he wasn't just trying his best. Although his sustenance is far away, it is still somewhat sustenance-with Zhang Xueliang, there is a future for the Northeast Army; with the future of the Northeast Army, there is a future for Bao Tianjian.And as soon as his head got hot, he resigned from his post in the army and became a Qing guest, so he had a future.Going back to the northeast is the dream of a thousand-year home for half a million men from Baishan and Heishui. As for what happened before leaving the Northeast and entering the customs?forget.What can I do after calling back?That is a future matter. Gu Qiushui also deserved this kind of calamity.The battle to defend Rehe in 1933 was regarded as a turnaround after the September 18th Incident in 1931 by Zhang Xueliang, the son-in-law general at that time, in order to avenge the country and hate the family, and wash away the "non-resistance generals" notoriety. At that time, as the acting chairman of the Beiping Branch of the Military Commission, he not only had full authority to command the Northeast Army, but also commanded North China and the ministries of Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan in the name of Chiang Kai-shek.How could the warlords of various factions who had met with Fengjun just now, and who were still alienated from the chairman Chiang Kai-shek, obey the command of an acting chairman Zhang Xueliang? At the pre-war planning meetings where the relevant generals discussed the deployment of troops, the tasks of various ministries, and coordinated operations, Zhang Xueliang, the acting chairman of the short-selling chairman, suffered the humiliation of contradicting and dismissing the so-called generals under his full command who were not ordered by the army. Not to mention as a commander, but as a man, wouldn't it be a shame and a shame!But he endured the humiliation and endured the humiliation, begging for perfection, and only wanted one victory to keep Rehe. The Battle of Rehe was a tragic act of Zhang Xueliang knowing that he could not do it, and "suicide" to show his ambition. Before the two armies that had been cobbled together had yet to send troops, several city gates fell due to the defection of a brigade under Tang Yulin's corps of the second army.Commander Tang turned his command sword and retreated to Beijing and Tianjin without facing the Japanese army.The commander-in-chief in charge of the second group army could not find Tang Yulin, the commander-in-chief of the group army, to be ordered; and none of the two cavalry brigades that Yan Xishan should have dispatched was sent; Sit and guard Chengde. In this battle, which is said to be two legions and 200,000 troops, actually only a lone brigade of the Northeast Army was invested. The Japanese army occupied Chengde with only one hundred and twenty-eight riders, and Rehe fell one after another.Zhang Xueliang's battle full of humiliation and hope, not only did not wash away his shame of "non-resistance general", but made Chiang Kai-shek get his wish, and used this as an excuse to force him to go to the field. Zhang Xueliang, who came back from a trip to Europe after his resignation, changed his mind and made a complete change, which will not be repeated here. The Baotian Sword Brigade of the Second Group Army was ordered to advance to Gubeikou without the coordination of the left and right wings and without preparation. Under the command of Bao Tianjian, Lieutenant Gu Qiushui of the Second Battalion took part in the hopeless battle at Gubeikou. The defeated soldiers flowed everywhere like water from a dike, and the regiment commander, Gu Qiushui, and a battalion commander in the regiment had to block from left to right.Gu Qiushui held his gun across the road and shouted: "Rush forward, charge forward. Don't retreat, don't retreat, I will kill anyone who retreats!" The flying altitude of the Japanese plane is very low, almost in the within range of the machine gun.Gu Qiushui shook the gun in his hand resentfully, regretting that it was not a machine gun, which made him miss the opportunity to fight.Then I looked left and right, as if a machine gun could grow out of the crop field immediately. The Japanese planes swirled back and forth arrogantly brushing the tops of people's heads, not to mention aiming, even hitting blindly with their eyes closed could hit them. The moment the bomb fell, Shino suddenly became silent, and only fragments of limbs and military uniforms were flying in the rain of bullets, like a picture in a silent movie. How can it be said that the value of recruits on the battlefield is far less than the trouble they cause?Even the brave and battle-hardened troops and veterans who have experienced battles will immediately lose their former calmness and experience once they are defeated. The defeated soldiers fled eastward and westward suddenly under the intensive and violent bombing and strafing like torrential rain.The more afraid they were, the more they huddled together, forgetting the key points of evacuation and concealment, like puppet toys specially set up for bombs. When a bomb falls, there will be a lot of casualties.From ancient times to the present, battles have actually been fought in this way, and they may continue to be fought in such a chaotic and accidental manner in the future. No matter how many military strategists have written the art of war, no matter how many new weapons have been invented, since the beginning of human beings, war has been such an ancient formula, running back and forth between offense and counterattack. Where can Gu Qiushui be clever?He had no choice but to command the soldiers to roll into the ditch beside the road to hide. At this time, Brigadier Bao Tianjian also retreated to the bottom of the hillside, standing on the road in a daze like those defeated soldiers, not knowing where to go.Brigadier Bao Tianjian can kill people and shoot guns, but he can't fight, and it doesn't prevent him from being a division commander who can't fight in the future. Gu Qiushui is worthy of having learned artillery and can accurately identify the direction of bombs flying.As a junior officer, his only choice was to jump on Brigadier Bao Tianjian when the bomb came. After several years of military rations, Gu Qiushui knew that the head was just an object temporarily entrusted to him by the bullet, and he was finally not afraid of death.Especially when death is just a moment, and you can pass it with a little effort. But he is afraid of suffering, because it requires an extraordinary character to eat the bitterness bit by bit without dodging or dodging. He rushed towards Bao Tianjian, then rolled with his arms around Bao Tianjian, and fell into the ditch beside the road.The bomb dug two large holes in the road next to them, the edge of which cut right through the ditch where he and Bao Tianjian were hidden. They had no loss other than a moment of deafness in their ears. This is an old story on the battlefield, no matter in the past or later, there are too many such stories on the battlefield. Although it is an old story, Bao Tianjian is still grateful for Gu Qiushui's life-saving grace.It is the gratitude of a kind master to a loyal servant. This bomb that missed the mark made Bao Tianjian and Gu Qiushui's fate. Brigadier Bao Tianjian stood up from the trench and said to Gu Qiushui: "Go to the stone box, hurry to the stone box, intercept the deserters, and collect the defeated troops." Gu Qiushui slammed his feet together, raised his hands in salute, and rushed out despite the bombing and strafing of Japanese planes, as fast as Bao Tianjian pulled the trigger and shot him out of the gun. Every move of these movements was not a little out of shape due to rolling into the ditch. Gu Qiushui could really be a good soldier. Gu Qiushui, who did not die under the bomb, soon enjoyed the benefits brought to him by the bomb that missed. Two days later, Lieutenant Gu Qiushui was transferred to the brigade headquarters and served as a captain's adjutant next to Bao Tianjian. But Bao Tianjian only rewarded Gu Qiushui with one ticket, and he still had to go through three levels to break through the secret passage mechanisms inside. Bao Tianjian's guards and entourage all rode a good horse.When Gu Qiushui left the Second Battalion, he returned his old horse to the Second Battalion headquarters.After reporting to the brigade, the brigade gave him another horse. It was really a fine horse, a fierce horse, once the mount of the governor of Rehe, and the governor has been riding on it since he retired, but he disappeared when he was running, and he felt a black gust of wind blowing suddenly. Horses have their own temperament just like humans, and a horse with a weak temper may not be a good horse.Just like Qingwen in the movie, if you don't tear the fan, you won't be Qingwen. Gu Qiushui found out after a ride that the horse was not only strong, but also good, and he didn't know who made it bad. A nail was driven into the horse's hoof.A fierce horse, with a nail in its hoof, is almost the same as a crazy horse.This is a real underwhelming blow. How can those people who have survived and died in the green forest to this point trust this fledgling kid?Someone said: "Isn't it just rolling in the ditch!" Unlike those people, Gu Qiushui has no old relationship, but Bao Tianjian treats him well. In the barracks, the appreciation of the officer does not necessarily give a person a place to stand.Even if you become the boss, there may be someone who will shoot you in the back. It is polite to put a nail in the horse's hoof. Nor could it be said that people bullied him, and for a newcomer it was a baptism of the barracks.He comforted himself, which place in the world is not a camp?Probably not as straightforward as the barracks. Someone advised him to change a new horse, who can change it for him when he is new?He couldn't get back the old horse from the second battalion either, he couldn't follow behind Bao Tianjian, who had already become a division commander, for a while. If you want to gain a foothold in the division, you must tame this horse! But it is difficult to even ride it, let alone drive it.As long as it sees him pulling the rein, it will run away with a kick, and it can't get it back no matter how hard it is.Occasionally, when riding on it, it would also jump forward and backward, and it would not stop until it threw Gu Qiushui down and crushed it under its body. No one stood aside to watch how the horse tamed Gu Qiushui, and no one missed a single detail about how Gu Qiushui tamed the horse. While circling the horse, he thought bitterly: It is because men like to pat their chests and call themselves "manly", even if you don't pat others, you will be forced to do so, but "manly" is so easy to achieve? In 1928 when Yan Xishan was attacked in Longquan, Shanxi, Gu Qiushui was a platoon leader in the artillery company. The city wall was very high and it was difficult to attack. The soldiers were beaten down just halfway up the climb.So that battle was fought from October of the first year to the spring of the next year, and the troops stayed in the cat's ear cave on the mountain for nearly a year of the ox.He had just turned 20 years old at that time, and the veterans looked down on him to begin with, and after spending half a year together day and night, even the last boundary between officers and soldiers disappeared.They always asked him, "Have you ever fought a war?" In the battle of Juliuhe's rebellion against Guo Songling, he didn't catch up with the most competitive time, so he had to hesitate and haw. Fortunately, there were three platoons and six guns on the mountain, and his two guns were hidden in the fortification behind the line of defense.There are also several straight ballistic, flat-firing guns for tanks and a few mountain guns.There is no need for flat-firing cannons, and the mountain cannons sometimes fire a few times. He was full of brotherhood towards those two cannons, without those two cannons, Gu Qiushui would not have been able to become the later Gu Qiushui. Every time after firing a cannon, Gu Qiushui had to stand on the top of the hill to check whether he hit or not.Yan Xishan's troops on the opposite side saw it and fired machine guns in this direction.He asked the soldiers to quickly enter the cat's ear hole to hide, and he was in the rear.The bullet whizzed through the gap between his legs, almost shaving off his balls like a razor close to his cheek.A company commander was killed that way, the bullet hit the bladder.There were more than 90 yuan in his body, which was taken away by the entourage. Gu Qiushui insisted on forcing the entourage to hand it over, and returned it to the company commander's family. With those bullets caught between his legs, he braced himself not to panic and lose his footing in front of the soldiers. That's how he traded his life for the approval of veterans, step by step towards a "manly man". Yan Xishan must have never imagined that those few bullets of his that almost shaved Gu Qiushui's eggs would contribute to making him a "manly man".That day I went out to train horses again, and immediately behind the window of the barracks, a dark fire flickered from the starting point, as if walking to a graveyard at night. Gu Qiushui hung the rein loosely with his left hand, not only did not stroke it, but also drooped it, and walked back face to face with the horse.Back and forth, for an unknown amount of time, the horse tilted his head up and down, and puffed into his face.He still retreated patiently, until he was tired of the horse, he looked at the stirrup, and suddenly he pulled the rein with his right hand and tricked his leg to ride on it.This time, he was like a nail nailed to its body, no matter how much it jumped, he was determined to die with it, and only then did the horse be subdued, and the people obeyed him. Later, he asked the veterinarian to remove the nails from the horse's hoof. The horse ran so fast that it left those who laughed at him far behind.Where is a human mount? It is a horse that makes a hero!Gu Qiushui's heroic posture on that horse made those reckless heroes feel envious and unwilling. Because it ran too fast, something happened later. The troops moved from Ba County. They delayed their departure because they went to the traditional Chinese medicine shop to "borrow" money for their friends. When they came back, they rushed to catch up with the troops and galloped away. They didn't see four piles in front of them.The horse ran too fast, and when Gu Qiushui saw the four stakes, it was too late to dodge. His right knee hit one of the stakes, and his knee was so swollen that he couldn't bend it.At that time, he had to march every day, but fortunately his left leg was still able to mount a horse, which was a small consequence of stabbing his friend in the ribs. After returning from Nanjing to apply for the Chiang Kai-shek Artillery School, the horse died. People said that it had lung disease. He was in a bad mood for the horse for several days. Then the seemingly insignificant little things formed a few knots in the fate between Bao Tianjian and Gu Qiushui. In March 1934, Chiang Kai-shek summoned the generals of the Northwest and Northeast armies to visit the south of the Yangtze River. Gu Qiushui went with Bao Tianjian. They stayed in Nanchang and then took a bus to visit Nanfeng County.At that time, Nanfeng County had just been taken back from the Communist Party. On the temporarily built airport in Nanfeng County, many bombers and 500-pound bombs were parked to bomb the Red Zone.The blockhouse outside Nanfeng City is even more dense like a jungle. It was part of the "Bunker Project" by Yang Yongtai, Chiang Kai-shek's senior adviser.Gu Qiushui said to Bao Tianjian: "Where is this majesty for the Communist Party to see, it is obviously for us to see!" Bao Tianjian suddenly became enlightened. In June and July of the same year, Chiang Kai-shek set up an officer training regiment in Lushan, and transferred officers of the Northeast Army and Northwest Military Academy to receive training. The general—the first rank, Gu Qiushui followed Bao Tianjian to Lushan Mountain. Although the entourage lived in another place, the treatment they enjoyed was already very unusual.After the training, Chiang Kai-shek also gave each general 2,000 yuan. Gu Qiushui didn't appreciate it, and said: "With two thousand yuan, you can cancel the debt owed to the Northeast Army? What does it mean to keep dragging the Northwest and Northeast Army together?" Gu Qiushui has always had the problem of pointing out the country indiscriminately. It is difficult to say whether these words are in place, but for Bao Tianjian at that time, it is like Han Liubei met Zhuge Kongming. So Bao Tianjian could listen to Gu Qiushui's suggestion and break away from the Northeast Army. In October 1935, Bao Tianjian of the 112th Division was ordered by Zhang Xueliang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the "Northwest Bandit Suppression Headquarters", to attack the Red Army in Yaoxian County.Gu Qiushui tried his best to dissuade: "The Northeast Army has never been rested since it arrived in the Northwest. What a 'deputy commander-in-chief'! It is said that it is acting as the commander-in-chief of Chiang Kai-shek, and the number of troops in charge is claimed to be 300,000. When did Hu Zongnan's army fight the Red Army? Didn't we push our Northeast Army to the forefront of the friction, and kill two birds with one stone? When did the Northeast Army and the Red Army succeed in fighting in the Northwest? In November, Wang Yizhe, the 67th Army with the best equipment and the most elite combat When attacking the Shaanxi-Gansu Red Army, they were hit hard in Ganquan, and the commander of the 110th Division died. The 3rd and 6th Cavalry Divisions led by He Zhuguo, the commander of the Cavalry Army, were hit hard again in Wuqi, losing all their supplies and weapons. In the Battle of Blackwater, the whole division of the 109th Division was destroyed... It was after these three defeats by the Northeast Army that Mao Zedong's power was consolidated. Powerful, no matter Zhang Guotao, Xiao Ke, He Long, including Gao Gang in northern Shaanxi... and the loss of the Northeast Army in combat has never been replenished... Why are we going to Yaoxian to die?" Bao Tianjian immediately asked Gu Qiushui to write a resignation letter for him, and sent it to Zhang Xueliang's office in Jinjia Lane, Dongmenli, Xi'an on the pretext of his father's illness. Gu Qiushui went to Jinjiaxiang with his resignation letter. He didn't see Zhang Xueliang himself, but met Zhang Xueliang's major general director of the Political Department, Ying Detian. At that time, the two men had black and shiny hair, and their military uniforms were tightly attached to their bodies, like two vigorous leopards, without any excess fat.Although they have met many times, they still look at each other appreciatively as if they met for the first time.In the 112th division, it was this Gu Qiushui who caught Ying Detian's attention, but he was a little exaggerated in his impression. Gu Qiushui heard that Ying Detian had a college degree, and was the principal of a middle school in Beiping before joining the Northeast Army, and was later sent to the United States by Zhang Xueliang to study, which made Gu Qiushui admire him.A team pulled up by "beards" now has such senior, quick-thinking and cautious soldiers. It is really the hope of the Northeast Army. No wonder Zhang Xueliang obeys his advice. It has been said for a long time that Zhang Xueliang has two military divisions, one civil and one military, and this deserves to be that Wen military division.Whenever making decisions, Zhang Xueliang always personally drives the "Old Ford" that Wu Wei wrote in his diary and was later signed and accepted by Comrade Jin Zhonghua of the Northwest Army of the Yangtze River Department. The two went to the outer suburbs of Xi'an to discuss countermeasures to avoid entry eyes and ears. Gu Qiushui thought that it would be good if he didn't see Zhang Xueliang himself, so he handed over his resignation to Ying Detian.It should be Tian who understands people.Smiling contentedly, I thought, if such a teacher goes, he will go.Can you count on this teacher who rides a horse and carries a knife all day long, who has never won a battle and has little education, to have any achievements or foresight? The 112th Division can also be regarded as the army under the command of Chiang Kai-shek. The soldiers wore the uniforms of the National Army, but the division commander was in his own way and nondescriptly dressed in an American military uniform.I heard that he still plays tennis very stylishly, and goes to Wangfujing Longfu Foreign Firm to buy clothes, but he is still very old-fashioned.Ying Detian personally wrote a receipt to Gu Qiushui to show his respect for Bao Tianjian.The receipt was written stroke by stroke, meticulously, and very neatly.When Gu Qiushui turned to leave, he never thought that they would meet again later. He would never have imagined that Wu Wei and Ye Lianzi would also walk into this yard ten years later. It was in Jinjia Lane that they sought the help of Mrs. Zhang Guanying, Zhang Xueliang's sister, and saved themselves from begging on the street for a while. embarrassment. For Jinjiaxiang, Ye Lianzi and Wu Wei may be much more familiar than Gu Qiushui back then. Without waiting for Zhang Xueliang to agree or disagree, they left Xi'an and returned to Peiping.Gu Qiushui and Ye Lianzi only stayed in a small hotel in Beiping for a few days, when they saw on a telegraph pole very close to Bao's house, "Auspicious house for rent, those willing to rent must bring their families; Ask" ad. I am afraid that the landlord dislikes the single tenants without family members who are drinking and making trouble, or that it is indecent to bring a naughty woman back; and worry that the tenants with families will have naughty children with crooked hair, broken roof tiles, jumping around, and fighting ... Although they didn't have Wu Wei at that time, they were indeed a decent family with a husband and wife, and any homeowner would welcome them, so they easily rented three north-facing houses next to Bao's house. The Lord did not even ask them for a deposit. If it weren't for a little sunshine from the small and high rear windows, the three houses facing south and north could be said to have no sunshine all year round.There is no aisle or porch in front of the house, but a few thin walls made of broken bricks. It is as cold as it is outside, and as hot as it is outside.Ye Lianzi and Wu Wei will soon be in this house to prepare for the severe cold in winter without money to keep warm. However, there is only one wall between the north side of the courtyard and Mr. Bao Tianjian's house. As long as Mr. Bao needs it, Gu Qiushui can be there whenever he is called. When Bao Tianjian and Gu Qiushui voluntarily left the Northeast Army, they didn't know that an event that shocked China and the world and would go down in history was brewing in General Zhang Xueliang's mansion.A year later, Ying Detian, as one of the main planners of the Xi'an Incident, participated in the scene of capturing Chiang Kai-shek alive. After the Xi'an Incident, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party quickly reached an agreement and established a second cooperative relationship to form the Anti-Japanese United Front. However, Zhang Xueliang, the protagonist who initiated this incident, became a prisoner.It was this deserved field who ran around to rescue Zhang Xueliang, held countless meetings with the generals of the Northeast Army, convinced this, convinced that... and he himself, it can be said that he has done his best for the Xi'an Incident, but he has no way of advancing or retreating. Door. 蒋介石既然杀不了张学良，就一定要抓住应得田和在临潼华清池山坡上活捉他的孙铭九，格杀勿沦。 应孙二人与东北军一个团长，带着一团队伍打算去陕北投奔共产党。 周恩来当时就在西安，担心影响刚刚建成的统一战线，左右为难，踌躇再三，最后还是以抗日大局为重，不便收容这两棵招风的树。 不知道留过洋的应得田，为什么就没有想到再度出洋那条路？ 可能没有了经济来源。应得田跑回北平隐蔽下来，有时到国立图书馆看看书，以排遣无着无落的时日，可是没多久，经济来源就有了问题，不是一般的有问题，而是连吃饭都成了问题。 他和孙铭九不得不去投奔在汪伪政权任军政部长的东北军老关系鲍文岳。孙铭九得到汪伪政权下一个地区专员的职务，应得田得到某省民政厅长的职务。这口饭也太大了，可是这个官至张学良前政治部少将主任的人如何安排是好？中国人对官职的敬意古已有之，既然工龄都能累计，就不要说是官龄了。没想到两三个月后日本就投降了，鲍文岳也没得好死，他们二人自然以汉奸论处。 应得田后来非常后悔，他老是想：要是再坚持两三个月…… 在美国的留洋生涯，并没有让应得田彻底改变东北军的习气，贫困也使他失去了昔日的远大目光，他在投奔鲍文岳的时候，只想靠东北军的江湖义气，找口饭吃。 不过西安事变那一段昂扬的日子，在后来惨淡的日子里，一直是他的安慰。他老是想：一个人一辈子能有这样一番经历，值了。一九五二年，顾秋水和应得田在北京街头相遇，他怎么也想不到，这个沦落到穿件老头乐(现在叫做T恤衫)和一条中式缅裆大裤衩的人；就是当年那个文质彬彬的应得田。让他好一阵感叹世态炎凉、时过境迁。 应得田虽在西安事变中有过那样一份贡献，可是为了一日饭，又在汪伪政权下当过某省民政厅长。西安事变后对共产党主张释放蒋介石大有意见，手下人还杀了主张释放蒋介石的东北军军长王以哲，这样一个经历复杂、大反大正的人，哪个单位敢安排他的工作？ 很长一段时间，顾秋水在经济上给他一些帮助，不过也只限于混口饭吃。 后来听说他找了几趟周恩来，才得到一个闲职。对于这个闲职；他看得很重，也很认真，准时上下班，每个星期天都留在办公室里学习《毛选》，总是对顾秋水说：“东北军搞了多少年也没搞成功的事，在共产党的领导下却搞成功啦。” 那时离全民挥舞红宝书的日子还有几年，可见他是真的拥护共产党。顾秋水想起多年前应得田写给包天剑的那张回执，对包天剑那种人也能一笔一画写回执的人，是不会装假的。 顾秋水虽然没有应得田看得那么远大，但也有同感，“旧社会很多人没饭吃，包括我在内。谁也解决不了吃饭问题，可是共产党解决了，所以我拥护共产党，这叫吃谁向谁，没共产党我什么也不是。要是不解放，什么前途都没有，解放前夕我闹到靠赌博为生，反正也不贪大，总能控制住自己，小赢，够吃饭就行了。让我出苦力、做小买卖，又吃不了苦，不论干什么，一吃苦就撒手了。所以天生是个当奴才的料子，明知跟着包天剑是当奴才，还是跟下去。” 共产党却似乎不太在意他们的拥护，他们的拥护就有了点单相思的意思。 应得田本来说话就慎重，后来话更少，只是在六四年上演大歌舞《东方红》，“我的家在东北松花江上……”那首歌重又流行起来的时候，他的话才多了一点。一听见那首歌，应得田就会对人提起张学良的一些旧事。 “文化大革命”，顾秋水被驱出北京之前，到应得田家里告别，才知道他已病人膏盲，孤零零地睡在过道里的一张小铁床上，可还不知道是什么病，当然，那时根本谈不到去医院诊治。后来结婚的老婆早己和他划清界限，而顾秋水也得限时限晌离开北京，至于医院，也未必接受他这样一个病人。 他病得几乎不能动，却挣扎着爬起来和顾秋水握了握手。顾秋水也不能多说什么，他们只能相对无言，黯然神伤。 倒是应得田豁达，“算了，我这个病不看也罢，时候到了，也该走了……到了现在……有那么两句话你还记得吧？'宠辱不惊，闲看庭前花开花落；去留无意，漫随天外云卷云舒……'你这一走，可能不会再见了，谢谢你多年关照的一番情意。风云无定，多多保重吧……” 顾秋水不是没有脱离包天剑的机会。一九三四年，一一二师驻武汉南湖，包天剑派顾秋水到南京报考蒋介石炮兵学校。从汉口上船到南京正好下小雨，那场小雨竟然把一个军人淋得患了感冒，高烧不退，一到南京就住进了蒋介石的中央医院。医院环境舒适，服务设备优良，所以南京之行留给他的印象是中央军得天独厚，到底和杂牌军不同。 报考炮兵学校的计划自然告吹。 如果他不感冒，以顾秋水的实战经验和在讲武堂学过的理论，考上那个炮兵学校不成问题。那他就会离开包天剑，成为蒋介石的一名优秀炮兵指挥官，更可能混上一个什么资格，而不会有以后的下场，但也就此成为国民党反动派。 一九四九年以后，国民党反动派是什么下场？ 但是他病了。 一切都是机遇，机遇是可遇而不可求的。 包天剑得知他病倒南京后，立刻给他寄了一百块钱。 那-百块钱对包天剑来说算不了什么，即便对顾秋水也不算很大一笔款项。但在病倒他乡的时候，区区一百块钱，就此把他和包天剑更紧地拴在了一起。 病好之后，顾秋水甚至没有在那繁华之地久留，只逛了一回夫子庙，就赶回武汉。 那一天，他沿秦淮河款款而行，六朝金粉繁丽糜烂的气息仍然浓郁得使人窒息，而三步一酒肆五步一茶楼的浮华，使他想起许多婉约的词句…… 和胡秉宸不同，顾秋水对月牙形的泮月池、文德桥等没有兴趣，也欣赏不了小桥流水的婉约以及女人才有兴味的地方小食，诸如莲子羹、老卤干等等，只在夫子庙的关键部位大成殿里流连忘返，那时候，大成殿还没有毁于日本人的一把贼火。 在大成殿里表达了一个木匠儿子对文化的仰慕，只是仰慕而已。又到乌衣巷凭吊、寻觅江左人物王导、谢安两族旧迹。那些与六朝历史共存亡的名字，他早就默诵于心，私下里做着好高骛远的攀比……到了九月，没有考成炮兵学校的顾秋水又得到包天剑的提升。他虽欣赏王羲之的“素无廊庙志”，可也不妨碍对加官晋爵的兴趣。不过他也就此满足，没有太大的野心。 穷人家的孩子是感恩知报的。 感念也是人之常情，可是有谁像他那样，竟然为此将自己的前程做了回报？ 他的文化价值观念就是这样，江湖义气，忠臣不事二主。便很轻率地、义无反顾地丢弃了他在东北军里的前程。 特别是东北军的炮兵和空军，可以说是全国务系军阀势力之冠。三十年代初，东北军的奉天兵工厂就年产大炮一百五十余门、步枪六万枝、机关枪千挺以上，追击炮更强。至九一八事变时，东北军空军拥有飞机百余架，是当时中国力量最雄厚的一支新式空军，恐怕连蒋介石的空军也望尘莫及。可惜让蒋介石一个不抵抗命令，在日军轰炸下全部覆灭。可以想见，顾秋水这个炮兵连长(尤其擅长指挥迫击炮)如果不离开军队，即便东北军全军覆灭，作为一个技术兵种也会有前途的。和他一起在奉天炮兵传习班学习的班长，一九四九年解放后就任职于中国人民解放军炮兵司令部，后来又转到军事研究院。顾秋水要是在炮兵连待下去，至少会和这位班长一样。 当然也不排除另一种可能，也许会像在临潼华清池山坡上活捉蒋介石的应得田或孙铭九那样，上不上、下不下地成为一个烫手的土豆？ 或许成为精通麻将、酗酒、烟枪、窑子、戏子，却不精通打仗的军官？ 二十世纪上半叶，是没有出路的时期。从以后的发展历史来看，即便没有一九三一年的九一八事变，东北军难道就有出路吗？ 何谈顾秋水这个小小的军官！ 说起来，包天剑又给了他多少恩惠？ 顾秋水为他的道德、信念付出的代价实在太大了，不但付出了他的一生，也付出了叶莲子以及吴为的一生。不过那时候，他还不知道是上了大当。 跟着包天剑离开东北军，是他一生的转折，也是他一生的失败之始，这一步走错了，就错了一辈子。人的一生祸福，实在不过一念之差。 正像叶莲子的父亲不让叶莲子嫁给顾秋水，而她非嫁不可。 正像吴为不是在二十六岁那年有了一个私生子，也会有另一种人生。 每个人的一生都有一个结，能超越它，也许就是另一种人生；不能超越它，这辈子就从那里开始走下坡路。 可吴为不像别人，人家一生有一个结就够了，就能记取那个结子的教训。她那大起大落、充满戏剧性的一生，不是咎由自取又怎么解释？情况很快有了变化。这变化可以说非常之藐小，连顾秋水自己也不曾察觉，就在不知不觉中完成了。他发现自己学会了乖巧。开始他也没有察觉到这乖巧有什么不妥，以为不过是一种皆大欢喜的应景之举，更不知道和乖巧一起付出去的是什么。 以顾秋水这样一个人，竟学会了乖巧！ 从此他们家开始了为奴的历史，顾秋水是他们家的第一个奴才，不久之后叶莲子也当了奴才。 吴为不得不是两个奴才的女儿，这和使用奴才人家的儿子胡秉宸有天渊之别。
