 one Han Qiuyun tied the hanging rope, stood on tiptoe and pulled it twice, it was very strong, and then climbed down from the branch of the old tung tree, leaning on the root of the tree to breathe.Han Qiuyun had been thinking about hanging himself for some time, but before that, it was just a thought, he wanted to die for them to see.This time, she was serious.It doesn't matter to her whether people look at it or not, she can't live anyway.If she were to marry Liang Daya, she would not be able to do it even if she died.Who is Liang Daya?  Liang Daya is the boy of Zhu Erye, a wealthy gentry in Lanqiaobu. In fact, the extra big tooth is not big, but it is true that he has big eyes, big ears, big hands and big feet. He is a strong and strong man with a broad face and thick eyebrows, big arms and a round waist. According to the local saying, he has big feet and big hands and can walk around the five mountains of the four seas and towns, and hit the master.Just because there is an extra canine tooth growing on the left side, it gives off a bit of evil spirit, and the blessing looks a bit damaged.The well-meaning elders in Lanqiaobu urged Liang Daya to pull out the extra canine tooth, but Liang Daya’s old shopkeeper Zhu Erye Zhu Yunxuan insisted on refusing to let it go, saying that it was father’s essence and mother’s blood, and the things brought by fate were not easy to waste of.If you meet a noble person in the future, there may be other ways to get rid of the cheap and get the expensive.Due to the death of his parents since childhood, Liang Daya grew up under the guidance of Master Zhu, and he naturally obeyed Master Zhu.In this way, the canine tooth that hinders the dignity and prosperity can survive, and the life of the grassroots has to be lived first.

 Children of this kind of family are naturally less likely to go to serious schools, but Liang Daya is not stupid, and he listens to Gong Er's tales of ancient times in his spare time, and the stories of "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" are never forgotten.Under Zhu Erye's scolding, Dou Da's characters can also read a few baskets, and he is quite eye-catching. He is shrewd in his work, and he is a bit mature. rely heavily on.  But it's useless to rely on others, and Han Qiuyun just looks down on him.In Han Qiuyun's eyes, Liang Daya was not a serious person anyway.Ever since that time when she saw Liang Daya and Water Snake Yao sitting on the same boat fishing for water chestnuts and frolicking, her heart was congested.

What is a water snake waist?Mention the name of the water snake waist, and the wind will stink for ten miles, and the radius of Lanqiao port is more than ten miles. I am afraid that there is no one who does not know the dishonesty of the water snake waist.She and He Laizi both burrowed into the woods of Laohewan, and Liang Daya hung out with such people at a young age, so he must not be clean.  Han Qiuyun was naturally reluctant to marry Liang Daya, although she only studied in a private school for three years, she was considered a scholar.When her parents didn't let go, she opened a dyeing workshop. She was not considered a lady, but she could almost be regarded as a small family jade. Now she was asked to marry Liang Daya and live that kind of dirty life. I dare not even think about it.Unfortunately, Zhu Erye chose to

I fell in love with her.  When Liang Daya was seven years old, his parents let the bandit Yao Gourd kill him, and he was taken in as an apprentice by Zhu Erye, the old shopkeeper of Ruitai Mizhuang. Mizhuang has been working for more than ten years.In recent years, Zhu Erye has become one of the richest households in Lanqiaobu, but he didn't say anything about being rich or benevolent. I was also worried that being a bachelor would not be able to control the hearts of young people, especially this spring when the Orientals broke into the Chinese ground, Zhu Erye was even more disturbed, fearing that there would be many dreams at night, so he gave Liang Daya a few dollars a month, and explained clearly, Ask him to buy family property and pester a daughter-in-law.But Liang Daya didn't have that kind of thought, he squandered most of his family and career, and often generously donated small pockets, but the poor and poor friends made a lot of friends——Liang Daya had his own ideas, a man who ruled the world and ruled the world , Walk around and eat everywhere, those few foreign dollars can't even buy a big egg.Besides, Zhu Erye still has the property to marry a daughter-in-law, why should he worry about it?

 In addition to Liang Daya's bad looks like a deadly toad kicking a dead monkey, he also has a beating kung fu with his teeth and claws. I don't know which charlatan artist he learned that kung fu. When fighting, three or five men can't get close to him— — This is one of the reasons why Erye Zhu loves him.With this kind of kung fu, the guardian can really resist for a while.Han Qiuyun's poor uncle and cheap cousin took a fancy to Zhu Erye's money and Liang Daya's martial arts, and couldn't afford the dowry for his son's marriage, so he sold Han Qiuyun, who had no father and mother, to Zhu Erye. He tried hard to force her to marry Liang Daya.With this kind of marriage, not only can they fall into the ocean, but they can also rely on Zhu Erye's influence.For cousins ​​and aunts, this is really killing two birds with one stone. 

Han Qiuyun once said to Liang Daya explicitly: "If you have money, you can buy my people, but you can't buy my heart." Liang Daya raised his head, threw two Zilong copper coins on the top of his head, and they fell into his hands firmly with two bangs, squinted his eyes, squinted at Han Qiuyun in a ghostly way, and smiled sinisterly: "Hey, old man I don’t buy your people, and I don’t buy your heart, I have money to buy your...that.” The life of the turtle grandson is impossible.  Han Qiuyun raised his head and looked at the hanging rope swinging in the breeze.It was her trouser waistband, made of eighteen strips of tweed cloth, of various colors and strong.One summer, when I went to the well platform to lift water, I held my breath, and the silk rope broke with a bang, revealing the red flower trousers, and almost let the bucket flash my waist.Annoyed, Han Qiuyun braided the waistband of this braided trousers.

Located in a remote area, Lanqiaobu is a place where chickens are called three provinces, but the three provinces have little control over them.Here, the mountains are steep and the water is clear, nourishing the two poles of yin and yang. Most of the men are fierce and brave, while the girls are born with water and beauty.People in the mountains don’t have much fun to play. After dinner, the streets and alleys are full of idlers. Some play the huqin, sing Beijing opera and hum the Huangmei tune of the Han opera, and some shake cattail fans to enjoy the coolness and chew Gorgon fruit. Eye circle Gong Er sang Dagushu.In fact, it is all nonsense, mostly below the waistband, which is taken for granted by men, women and children, so as to fill the boredom after work.

 On this ground, the weathering of men and women is not a big deal. The folk customs in the mountains and villages are simple, and cheating happens from time to time. The wife raises a man and the man is naturally displeased, but I have never seen anyone who has used a knife or a gun because of jealousy or defending the family tradition. .The red-faced men may become friends because of this, and the common woman provides them with a common topic of drinking.If you can't hit it, everyone will live in peace if you don't hit it.You are raising a man here, and I am stealing a man there. The two are even and the benefits are complementary. Everyone is not too disadvantaged.Since the folk customs are like this, flirting is even less of a problem. Even a big girl's butt is not precious, and it's not fun to touch it when it's aroused, but it's petty and not a joke .

 Han Qiuyun is naturally a little different from those craftsmen and girls from farming families in the front and back of the street. Although her mother died and worked as a maid for her cousins ​​and aunts, she was still a scholar and a young lady in her dream.The young lady has a thin face, and her buttocks cannot be touched casually, so she braided this sturdy trouser belt, and prepared to pull it out with a whoosh to whip someone when she was in a hurry.However, this use has not yet come in handy.  Since the Orientals occupied Luo'an Prefecture, Lanqiaoport has ceased to be a wild place in the past. Those with food dug cellars and buried them deeply, and those with daughters hurried out of the pavilion.At this moment, it happened that Han Qiuyun fell on Liang Daya.Thinking of Liang Daya's evil face with a superficial smile, Han Qiuyun wanted to hang himself.I would rather take advantage of the Japanese devils than marry Liang Daya, and I clearly told Liang Daya.Naturally, this is angry talk.It's better to kill yourself than let the Japanese devils do it to you.

 Han Qiuyun stood up, stretched his neck into the trap again, pulled it down, and half of his body hung up.Closing my eyes, I thought I was dying, and my mind became chaotic. When I saw my mother who had become a ghost, I happily came to pick her up.After hanging for a long time, I felt that something was wrong. I opened my eyes and saw that I was not dead yet.It turned out that the knot was tied with a tiger knot, which only hung on the chin, but could not strangle the neck.If you hang yourself like this, when will you be punished for a living crime?  Climbed up the tree again, took down the life-threatening rope, gritted his teeth and scratched with his hands, and it took a lot of effort to untie it.After hitting a dead lump, I hung it up again, and then sat on the tree branch and looked into Lanqiao port.Not far away, I could see some people walking around.

 The sky in the early morning of early summer is bright and bright blue, without a single speck of impurity.The sun's rays fall on the leaves of the tung trees on the hillside, and the water is green.There are some purple wild hibiscus in the bushes, and the clusters seem to be dancing.The spotted dove was cooing not far away, making Han Qiuyun's heart flutter.What's your name, mourning?I, Han Qiuyun, didn't even shed a tear, but you made me sad.  At this time, I hate my father and mother.  Her parents only gave birth to her, so she is naturally the apple of the eye, but after being spoiled for a few years, a flood came up at the age of twelve, and the mother and I were greedy, so they took their buddies to the river to fish for floating money. I don’t know how much they got, about He was so happy that he was dizzy, and never came back.Han Qiuyun, who had no father or mother, cried all day and all night, and then moved to the house of her cousins ​​and aunts, and she was always enslaved by others.My cousin and aunt gave birth to seven children, and Han Qiuyun held the eldest child and the third child, and the work in the fields was not left behind. Although I am a homeless orphan, I can't compare with the golden branches and jade leaves in the city, but I am also a young girl who has studied.Looking at the river, she has a well-proportioned body, tall and tall, with a round face and bright eyes, and has a good skin. In the dog days, the field water is scalding to death. Uncle holds the plow, and she pulls the rope like a cow. She put in all her effort, but it was strange, her fair and clean face couldn’t get tanned, but the more she tanned, the whiter she became, as tender as a peeled snow pear.There are hundreds of girls and daughters-in-law in Lanqiaobu, who doesn't know that she, Han Qiuyun, is a beauty?How can this good body be trampled by Liang Daya?  And hate Chen Kexun.  That was quite a few years ago.At that time, the family was in a good position and could support her in a private school.Although Chen Kexun was a few years older than her, he was always worshiping a gentleman and sitting on a bench.She was about the same age as Chen Kexun's third brother, Chen Mohan, and she entered the museum around the same time, but she didn't like being with Chen Mohan very much, and her eyes always fell on Chen Kexun.Later, when it grows in Dali, that kind of thought becomes a bit messy and embarrassing.Chen Kexun's father was a Juren in the late Qing Dynasty. He was the county magistrate of Duan Qirui's Beiyang government. After the collapse of the Beiyang government, he returned to his hometown to do business.Chen Kexun is not like the common dude, he studies hard and treats others with understanding. Han Qiuyun still remembers that shortly after she dropped out of school, Chen Kexun and his younger brother Chen Mohan went to Luoan Prefecture to study in a national middle school, and they would play with her when they came back from vacation.In summer, she went to pick mulberry leaves in the old river bay forest, and Chen Kexun followed without telling her family. The two picked mulberry leaves together, ate mulberries, and went down to the river to catch shrimps and crabs. She saw a few drops of red things at her feet... When she thought of that, her heart jumped wildly.  But in a few years, Chen Kexun will change. I heard that he joined some group in the foreign school, and he becomes the rich young master.Another year passed, before he finished his studies, he left the school and went to work in Jiang Wenzhao's army in Luzhou.When I returned to Lanqiaoport last year, a sedan chair carried back a female student in a blue coat and black dress.That night she was covered with a quilt and her eyes were swollen from crying.  After much deliberation, there is really nothing worth nostalgic in this world.  Han Qiuyun no longer hesitated this time.Standing on tiptoe, he couldn't reach it, so he jumped up and grabbed the rope ring, and the tung tree branch with thick calf immediately bowed in an arc.He was so cruel that he called "Niang Laozi" and hung his neck up.The body suddenly grew up, but the feet still touched the ground.It's really not a good feeling to have the rope strangled around the neck.Only then did his teeth tremble in fright, and only then did he realize that hanging himself was not a joke.If I knew it was so uncomfortable, I wouldn't die.It is better to live than to die, and it is even better to live than to die.But after thinking about it, if you don't die, you have to marry Liang Daya, and you have to do that kind of thing with that rascal, and it's better to die than to be dragged down by such a rascal.  As soon as I thought about it for a lifetime, I bent my legs, closed my eyes and waited for the rope to lead me to heaven.  With her eyes closed, Han Qiuyun felt that several decades had passed, and after several decades she heard a crisp sound.Before she could recover, she fell heavily to the ground, and then a few leaves brushed her face, scratching a bloody gash.She was stunned for a long time, then wiped the blood on her face, it was red and sticky, it was real blood, and the blood was burning and painful.I muttered in my heart, this tortoise branch is so strange, it keeps on riding on it, it is extremely strong, and it breaks when I hang it, like a piece of ice with no bones and muscles.Dare to feel that my life is too tender, and Lord Yan despises it?  Unable to understand the rope, she just sat on the ground in a daze, and finally two rivers of tears came out, and there was a cry, as if the gate had been opened, and she cried for mother and father, crying so much that the mountains and forests trembled wildly. fly.  Weeping in the dark, I suddenly heard a burst of cuckoo shouting nearby.  Hurry up and stop, open your eyes and take a closer look. Seeing this, the hairs all over his body stood on end——  There are flower girls.The flower girl's big one.  Yaya - the beauty of China - there are here.  Han Qiuyun shivered, and stood up suddenly—this time she could see clearly, under the blue sky and white sun, there were six or seven Orientals wearing yellow skins standing clearly. Two The Japanese devils came as soon as they said they would.  Han Qiuyun never dreamed that she was going to die for "them" to see, but "they" could no longer care about her life or death.When she went up the mountain alone and tried to do a major event that stunned the people of Lanqiaobu, she didn't know that the all-out war of resistance broke out, and the Japanese had already entered East China along the Yangtze River.On this morning, the Fourth Battalion of the First Squadron of the Japanese Sakata Division left Luo'an Prefecture without anyone noticing, crossed Erlonggang in the concave and convex mountains, and drove to Lanqiaobu.In addition to the brigade entering the town to loot, three small teams were also sent to search dozens of suspicious highlands outside Lanqiaoport.  They are indeed Orientals.Although Han Qiuyun has never seen it before, she still knows that the Japanese devils broke into the ground in China. She heard from those who have seen them that the Japanese devils are not tall, thick and strong, and there is an obvious mark, the devil's official son Everyone loves to have a small mustache under the nose.  After figuring out that it was indeed the Japanese devil in front of him, although Han Qiuyun's heart was beating wildly, he felt a sense of generosity to go all out.Isn't it just death?Didn't I also seek death just now?The idea of ​​death has long been there, and the devil is not afraid when it comes.It's just that she doesn't want to die in the hands of the devil, let alone let the devil trample her to death.  Han Qiuyun tried his best to stand still and looked around.There were also two devils surrounding him, one was a devil officer with a bastard box with his hands behind his back, and the other devil soldier was holding a long gun and a few thieves on his bayonet.  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, the beauty of China, Jiangbei Rose, well done.  Chirp, wah, wah, jerk... Hua girl stops.  The three ghost soldiers slowly surrounded Han Qiuyun's arm, laughing and joking. Han Qiuyun's eyes darkened, and he shook his body.The arms were clenched tightly, and the body that was about to collapse was straightened again.  A bright long knife slashed down, drawing a dazzling arc in the sun, turning a few inches away from Han Qiuyun's head, the tip of the knife floated to her chest, and landed on the button of the jacket .Guizi Guan'er, who was holding a long knife, showed his yellow teeth in a smile. The goldfish eyes behind the glasses gave off a yin and yang green light, and the tip of the knife gently and slowly rubbed against Han Qiuyun's chest.  God damned Japanese devils, oriental people who have died!  At this stage, Han Qiuyun knew that it was useless to be afraid, so he stomped his feet and moved forward vigorously.The tip of the knife pierced into the flesh, and it was cold for a while.Guizi Guan'er's hand trembled, moved the point of the knife, and opened the second cloth button, then threw away the command knife, raised his long riding boots, took a step forward, stretched out his hands, ch-ch, He tore open Han Qiuyun's double-breasted gown, and tore off the calico breast pocket inside.  A surge of hot blood rushed up, Han Qiuyun howled, squatted down to protect his chest, but was framed by Japanese soldiers again.The Japanese official picked up Han Qiuyun's breast pocket, squeezed it in his hand, pulled it open and looked at it, and with a strange smile, put the breast pocket into Han Qiuyun's mouth, and then picked up the command knife, the tip of which was from Nizi's The tip of the nipple was drawn up and down, drawing a tortuous blood path, and the tip of the knife reached the lower abdomen, and when it was picked up suddenly, the wide-waisted trousers that were originally tucked in fell to the ground like a pig's intestines.  Han Qiuyun closed his eyes and stopped resisting.Two lines of tears flowed down silently.She hated herself for being weak in bones, hated herself for wanting to die and put down her life, leaving her enviable skin to the Japanese devils, hating herself for preventing Chen Kexun from doing that in the woods of Laohewan, It chilled Chen Kexun's heart, but made the Dongyang people cheaper.  All the ghost soldiers surrounded her, and the ghost officer waved his hand, and the ghost soldiers who supported Han Qiuyun let her go.  Flower girls, dancing work.  Come here, the jump here.Haha, hahaha... Extreme joy begets sorrow.  First, I heard a howl in the forest like landslides and ground cracks, and then a cold light flew over.The saber in the hands of the Japanese officials has not yet been raised, and the head has already fallen to the ground.Han Qiuyun was dazzled by this scene, and saw a burly man in a trance, with a monkey hat on his head, only two black and green eyes were exposed, and a big knife in his hand was dancing like a silver sword, and the lightning flashed in the wind and rain. through.In just an instant, two more devil soldiers fell into a pool of blood. Han Qiuyun's blood immediately heated up.She had never seen a murder, let alone such a lively and playful killing scene.Han Qiuyun was a little dumbfounded.The blood splattered in the transparent sunlight at noon, like a rainbow smeared in the sky, dazzled and shockingly bright.  After several accomplices fell down one after another, the remaining devil soldiers realized, shouted and jumped out of the circle in unison.I don't know who whistled, and the four devil soldiers raised their guns together.  Han Qiuyun's heart tightened: No, the Japanese devils are going to shoot.Just about to tell the masked man to get down, he turned his face away, but was stunned again.The masked man was also stunned - he didn't know what the ghost soldier was up to. Not only did he not shoot, but he pulled the gun out of the breech and stuck it straight over.  The masked man stood up straight with a carp, and stepped back with his sword horizontally.Only then did Han Qiuyun remember to get dressed.Quickly stood up, one hand tightly covering the belly, and the other hand stretched out to reach the branch to untie the waistband, but did not expect that it was a dead knot at the beginning, so at this time, he used all his strength to eat , can't be solved anyway.When he was in despair, he saw a cold light flashing across his head. Before Han Qiuyun could recover, the waistband of the multi-colored trousers fell to the ground with twists and turns.  "Run, damn, run!"  After yelling loudly, Han Qiuyun's shoulders were pulled up, and he staggered forward a few steps, but there was a cold war in his heart—grandma's belonged to the grandson Liang Daya.However, she didn't allow her to think too much, and the Japanese soldiers chased after him in a blink of an eye, yelling and screaming, and the bayonets came closer inch by inch.  "Run, run to Laohewan—"  Taking a break from his busy schedule, Liang Daya tore off the monkey hat used for acting, winking and throwing a strange grin at Han Qiuyun, the eye-catching canine tooth on the left flashed brightly under the sun, like a stick , knocking on Han Qiuyun's heart.  "Liang Daya, run away by yourself, my aunt doesn't want to live anymore."  While screaming, Han Qiuyun bent down suddenly, shrunk back, broke free from Liang Daya's claw-like hands, picked up the snake-shaped trouser belt, and slapped it in the air crisply and brightly. Crack the whip.  The first whip passed in front of the devil soldiers, and the two devil soldiers threw away their big guns like fire, covering their faces and screaming.  The second whip turned a corner and hit Liang Daya's hand impartially.  "Huh-xi!" Liang Daya gave a strange cry and stopped. "Bitch, I saved you and beat me, I don't know good and bad things." Cursing, he came over with a slap, grabbed Han Qiuyun's shoulder and yanked him forward.Han Qiuyun was dragged so that his feet didn't touch the ground, he staggered and crawled, and ran along the way.  Finally throwing the Japanese soldiers down, Han Qiuyun shouted again: "Liang Daya, it's useless for you to save me. I will marry the Japanese devils and I will not marry you."  Liang Daya roared angrily: "Fart your mother! You run for me, and I will clean you up when I go to Laohewan."  Han Qiuyun also yelled: "Guisun Liang Daya, let go, my aunt's belt is not fastened yet."  "Hurry up, girl, if you let the Japanese devils chase you, it will be useless for you to wear a pig iron trouser belt."  "Liang Daya, keep your hands calm and don't rub against your aunt's ribs."  "Look at what's going on now, who cares about your ribs at this moment!"  Two people were running and arguing.Fortunately, the road was familiar, and he got into the woods after making seven turns and eight turns. He was about to reach the edge of the old river bend, but he heard a shout from the woods beside the road: "There are devils ahead, run west quickly."  Liang Daya and Han Qiuyun were taken aback, and looked at it for a while in doubt. From the hibiscus bushes on the left, two people came out.The other fleshy one is Zhu Yidao, the distant grandson of Zhu Erye and Liang Daya's little friend.  Several people gathered in one place, and before they had time to say more, they chose a forest path and ran forward desperately.  At noon, I went up to Xigao Ridge. It was estimated that the devils would not be able to catch up, and everyone couldn't run anymore, so they stopped and lay down on the ridge to pant.Only then did I realize that there were devils and two devils in Lanqiaoport, and the whole town was running, hiding, and dying.Liang Daya was an orphan, Han Qiuyun was an orphan, and only Zhu Yidao and Niang Laozi were alive and dead.Everyone looked back at the invisible home, only to see thick smoke billowing over Lanqiaobu. Liang Daya stomped his feet and roared in the dark: "You fucking Japanese devil, I hate your old lady." Zhu Yidao wailed loudly, crying that his family was poor, and crying that his yard had been burned to ashes.Han Qiuyun didn't cry out, but the tears fell straight down.  Among the four people, Chen Mohan was naturally the one who cared the most, but Chen Mohan was also homeless right now.Half a month ago, all his family members went to Luzhou. At that time, he was detained by the police because he was engaged in anti-Japanese propaganda with Mr. Wang Lantian, a Chinese teacher.Wang Lantian is an underground member of the Communist Party. He thinks highly of Chen Mohan, thinking that he has radical ideas, new consciousness, and a sense of justice.The teachers and students made an appointment first, and once they were freed from the shackles, they would go to the Aotu Mountain to find the Eighth Route Army.Later, his second brother, Chen Kexun, spent a lot of money in managing the matter, and took advantage of Jiang Wenzhao's army headquarters staff's face, so he was finally released.Chen Kexun wanted his third brother to serve under Jiang Wenzhao's command, but he was rejected.After Chen Mohan was released on bail, he originally planned to go back to Lanqiaobu and let the housekeeper raise some cash to bring to the team as a meeting gift. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army attacked Lanqiaobu before he got the money, and it was not Zhu Yidao who brought him Let him drill into the woods, I'm afraid he will die.  Several people thought about their own thoughts for a while on Xigao Ridge. They were really heartbroken and confused. Finally, they listened to Liang Daya-the family is gone, and they went to Aotu Mountain to find a team to fight devils. three Ao Convex Mountain belongs to the Fulan Mountains. It is located at the junction of the three provinces of Hubei, Henan and Anhui. It stretches for more than 500 miles between the Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers. There is no danger for anyone who is at the gate.In addition, this mountain is connected with several mountain ranges of Fulan Mountain. It reaches Blue Lake in the east, Pinghan Railway in the west, Huaihe River in the north and Yangtze River in the south. Anzhou threatened more than a dozen counties in the surrounding area.Since ancient times, this place has been a place where there is no battle, but it is also a place where military strategists of all dynasties rely heavily on it.  Since the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, Aotu Mountain has been bustling like never before. Soldiers have been stationed in the south and north of the Aotu Mountain. The 246th Regiment of the Kuomintang Army stationed in Liaocheng at the northern foot of Aotu Mountain is headed by a colonel named Liu Hanying, who claims to have three thousand troops. .The one living in Meiling, Shannan is the newly established Yang Tinghui Independent Detachment of the Eighth Route Army. Last year it was a guerrilla unit of the Red Army. Most of the soldiers were kiln workers and farmers who had only been recruited in recent years.  Liang Daya and his group walked slowly, crossed six mountain ridges, and walked more than seventy miles on the mountain road. It was already dusk when they reached Zhuangziling.Zhuangziling is the watershed between the two provinces, and the top of the ridge is the riding point. From here, more than 20 miles south is Meiling, and more than 20 miles north is Liaocheng.  Naturally, I was hungry and tired.After resting for a few bags of cigarettes on the ridge, he got up to leave again, but Liang Daya stopped in his tracks. Liang Daya turned his head, glanced at the three villagers and said, "Listen all of you, there is no turning back when you shoot the bow. When we come out this trip, don't even think about going home. The home is gone. Fighting the devils and resisting the Japanese There is nothing else to say. But how many anti-Japanese teams are there in Aotu Mountain. Tell me, where should we go?"  Without even thinking about it, Zhu Yidao said, "Then there's no need to ask, Brother Da Ya, you are the oldest, so you have the final say."  Liang Daya said: "That's not okay, it's not about me alone, I can't be a family. If this step is wrong, wouldn't it take everyone to the ghost den? I, Liang Daya, can't afford it. Master Chen San is a scholar. Man, I think it's up to you to make up your mind."  Chen Mohan blushed, and said unhappily: "Liang Daya, don't call me the third young master anymore, my name is Chen Mohan." Then he said: "In my opinion, we should go to Meiling, I heard from my husband , the Eighth Route Army is benevolent to the people and loves things, the common people support it, and it is also very active in fighting the Japanese devils."  Zhu Yidao said: "Third young master, you are just listening to other people's nonsense..." Before Zhu Yidao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Mohan: "Zhu Yidao, let me tell you again, don't call me Third Young Master again, my name is Chen Mohan."  Zhu Yidao took a deep breath, and had no choice but to say again: "Chen... Mohan, you are just listening to other people's nonsense. In my opinion, we should go to Liaocheng. Commander Liu's national army is a serious army, with food and clothing. A few days ago, Zhang Dazui voted for eight routes, didn’t he go back to Lanqiaobu? He didn’t even have a gun, so he had to go for it himself. He didn’t even have any clothes, and he couldn’t get enough to eat, so what kind of team is that?”  Liang Daya frowned and asked Han Qiuyun: "What do you think, should we go south or go north?"  Han Qiuyun didn't say anything for a long time, and after thinking for a while, he asked Liang Daya back with a purple face: "Let me ask you first, which way are you going to go?" "Me? Heh——sneeze!" Liang Daya sneezed with pain, rubbed his nose vigorously, and smiled: "Of course I will go to Liaocheng. I, Liang Daya, may be able to serve as a soldier to eat food and carry a gun to fight against the Japanese. Can be a regimental commander or something...hehe..."  "That's all right!" Han Qiuyun cut off Liang Daya's words, "The road is facing the sky. Let's go on each side. You can go to Liaocheng. I'll go to Meiling. Let's go separately."  "How can that be done!" Liang Daya yelled impatiently: "Lan Qiaobu ran out and we, how can we separate again? Besides, your cousin has already accepted Erye Zhu's twenty-dollar dowry. You are my wife now. If you go to Meiling, of course I have to go to Meiling too."  Han Qiuyun sneered: "Liang Daya, stop dreaming. If you go to Meiling, I will go to Liaocheng." "Huh-xi!" One sentence annoyed Liang Daya, he stood up with a whimper, weighed the butcher's knife in his hand, gritted his teeth and roared: "Han Qiuyun, is this how I make you look down on me?"  But Han Qiuyun was not frightened, and said in a calm manner: "You can say whatever you want, anyway, I won't go the same way as you, Liang Daya." The flexible head of the belt seems to be ready to be pulled out and punched at any time.  "Damn it—bazi!" Two or three blue veins on Liang Daya's forehead popped out, his eyeballs protruded, and he swung the butcher's knife, cutting the yellow twig tree beside him in two with a snap.Then he turned his face to look at Han Qiuyun, his lips were trembling, and the original blood red disappeared after just looking at it.  Han Qiuyun did not bow his head, but stared at Liang Daya with a firm gaze, and said coldly: "Liang Daya, you understand, I will pay you back the twenty foreign dollars that Mr. Zhu Erye gave you. I will sell you as a bitch on Xiehe Street." The body also paid back your money. There is no money in front of you, so tell me clearly, you will die, if you want me to be your wife, you just wait to carry the corpse."  Liang Daya was really dumbfounded this time.Why would this Han Qiuyun treat herself like this? Han Qiuyun is also a good girl with thin skin and tender flesh in Lanqiaobu. She is a bodhisattva who is afraid of stepping on ants when she walks. Why is she so hard-hearted to herself?Could it be that he and Han Qiuyun are really at odds?Why did she hate herself so much?Pulling out his eyeballs to look at himself, he is an upright man, the romantic girls in Lanqiaobu, who doesn't take Liang Daya seriously?But she, Han Qiuyun, doesn't treat Lao Tzu as a human being, it's really unreasonable!  Suddenly there was a rush of blood - damn Han Qiuyun, drying your butt on the window sill, your face is so big?There are only a few bachelors out of the 1,800 people in Lanqiaobu, and I, Liang Daya, can be regarded as a person after all. How come I got this ignorant girl on the solo account, making her feel useless.Actually what?Isn't it just that the face is white and tender, and the figure is delicate, what's so strange, moving to the bed at night and blowing out the lamp, don't they all look the same?  The more I think about it, the more panicked I feel.Can't be any more cheap.Liang Daya thought bitterly in his heart, we have to lift up our buttocks even if we are naked, and we can't lower our heads even if we are big or small.The little devil's bayonet has been poked under the butthole, we have to do serious business, and we can't let this donkey dodge his waist.  Liang Daya coughed viciously.  Everyone raised their heads and looked at Liang Daya.Liang Daya didn't look at anyone, but just looked at Han Qiuyun sullenly.  "Han Qiuyun, I will ask you again, are you really not going with me?"  Han Qiuyun felt a little nervous.She never looked straight at Liang Daya, but today she had to look straight at Liang Daya.Her eyes met Liang Daya's, this was the first time she saw Liang Daya's eyes were hard and piercing, as if carrying a hard wind, they pushed straight towards her eyes, pushed them closer , touched the cheek, and the shaved cheek was hot and painful.I suddenly panicked.Liang Daya's eyes were really evil, his cold eyes were like two rough hands, peeling off her double-breasted gown, and grabbing the two cherry-like red and tender itchy tips on her chest.Before she even understood what was going on, her nose felt hot and she almost cried.It's really strange, I hated Liang Daya so much before, but why can't I hate him now?This Liang Daya is a ghost, a demon, a toad, such a rascal and so dirty, he might have something to do with the water snake waist, she saw him hug the water snake waist with her own eyes, but... But she still threw out a word : "Liang Daya, you take your Yangguan Road, I take my single-plank bridge, I will not go with you." "really?"  "True-true!"  Click - crack -!Suddenly there was a gust of wind in the woods, and a yellow twig tree beside the path shook violently.  Liang Daya swung his hand and slapped himself, from the left.Blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth in a violent gust.Liang Daya bared his teeth, stretched out his long tongue, twirled it around a few times like a rag, licked away the blood, and moved his mouth, as if drinking crucian carp soup.Han Qiuyun quickly turned her face away, she couldn't see Liang Daya's pretending to be a ghost.  Hey hey.Liang Daya smiled softly, like a hum, chilly.  Although Han Qiuyun was frightened in his heart, there was no panic on his face.  Chen Mohan and Zhu Yidao looked at each other, looking at Han Qiuyun and Liang Daya, not knowing what to do.  Hehe, hehe, hehehe... Liang Daya laughed loudly again.Hahahaha, haha...hehe...hoho...wawa... Liang Daya laughed louder and louder, and the more he laughed, the weirder the tune became.Liang Daya laughed strangely for a long time before he regained his confidence, turning from a wild laugh to a sinister laugh.  Having laughed enough, Liang Daya straightened his waist: "Well, Han Qiuyun, you are a daughter of a rich family, and I am a beggar with bare buttocks. I can't afford you, so let's break up. You go to Meiling, I'm going to Liaocheng to join the national army. Mountains don't turn around, rivers turn from east to west in thirty years, if you have any difficulties in the future, send a message to Liang Daya, I'll be bothered Inserting a knife—no matter how you say it, are we still folks from Lanqiaobu, don’t you think so?”  说完，四下里冷嗖嗖地睃一眼，慢慢地转身向北，扛了一肩西斜的阳光，迈开长腿，走了。最初，梁大牙走得很慢。走了几步又停下，没有回头却仰起了头，宽宽的后背动了几下，似乎在聆听头顶上传来的什么声音。  庄子岭上风停树静，晚霞的余晖洒过来，在林子里溅起几串扑朔迷离的光晕。  韩秋云滞滞地看着梁大牙移动的背影，像是在看着一座正在行走的山。倏然，一只斑鸠从头顶上飞过，咕——咕——咕——，叫得人心阵阵抽紧。 四 没有人看见梁大牙落泪。  等朱一刀撵上来时，梁大牙脸上的泪渍早已荡然无存。天色已经黑了下来，蓼城距离此地还有二十多里，他要赶到城里投宿。国军刘汉英团长他不认识，但是他听说过刘汉英的爷爷是个清末的武举，刘汉英上过黄埔军校，是个正经的行伍。  在这个惊险而又辛酸的日子里，被韩秋云视为无赖而与之不共戴天的梁大牙，搂着一团快要胀暴了的肚皮，视死如归地走进了人生的别处。他实在是无可奈何了。这时候他才恍然有悟，一个人要是讨厌一个人，那是谁也没有办法的事，要是一个女人讨厌一个男人，那就更是老天爷也没有办法的事了。尿泡尿照照自己，交了那么多朋友，做了那么多好事，在蓝桥埠是一个堂堂正正的汉子，不仅得到朱二爷的赏识，众乡亲谁不把他当个人物看？往日里梁大牙得意得很啊，从来没有觉得自己有啥大不了的短处，没有想到硬是让一个从泥巴里滚 出来的妮子作践得狗屁不是，真他娘的窝囊。  心里窝了一团骚火，步子就迈得极快。梁大牙琢磨着，他要干的第一件事就是找个地方把这一肚皮晦气给放了。找到刘团长，要是能给他一挺机关枪就好了，他敢独自抱着这挺机关枪去打洛安州。  直到走出里把地，朱一刀才热气腾腾地追上来。梁大牙回头看了一眼，没有见着韩秋云，也就死了一条心——到底是人各有志不能强求啊。看着朱一刀，梁大牙心里便是一阵感动， 他跟朱二爷当孙子当徒弟，一刀跟他当兄弟，都是贫苦人家长大的，没有享过福，没有念过书，别说跟陈墨涵那样的大家少爷不是一路人，就连韩秋云这样的破落人家的落魄小姐也不拿正眼看自己，想起来好不心酸。  再想想，又陡生一股豪气。  “一刀兄弟。”梁大牙叫了一声。  朱一刀应了一声，侧过脸，看见梁大牙的眼睛有些红红的，便说：“大牙哥，算球了。凭大牙哥你这身功夫，到国军里还不是个人物？日弄个七品八品的，还愁找不到个好女人？”  “兄弟说的是，”梁大牙嘿嘿一声冷笑，“咱们弟兄这回进凹凸山，是要办大事的，是要抗日了，是要干正经的光宗耀祖杀富济贫两肋插刀的行当了。那不比籴米卖粮，也不比杀猪编席子，更不比陈三少爷他们在学堂里摇头晃脑。当兵吃粮得讲究个义气，咱们去为国家出力报效，也是为自己打天下，就要像大戏里唱的那样，生当啥鸡巴杰，死做啥卵子鬼。”  朱一刀说：“人家大戏里说的是生当啥人杰，死做啥鬼雄。”  “是这话，”梁大牙一掌拍在朱一刀的肩膀上，拍得朱一刀龇牙咧嘴，“话不管咋说，都是那个意思，就是不装孬。咱弟兄们大眼瞪着小眼，谁都不能装孬，谁装孬谁就是蓝桥埠烂眼圈龚二家的母狗下的崽，就是他娘的劁了卵子的驴。” Fives  下了庄子岭，山脚下就流过来一条小河，名叫二道河，约莫有十几丈宽。  韩秋云起小就听大人说过，这条河是从西边很远很远的地方流过来的，穿州过府，又流到了很远很远的地方去。至于这条河为什么叫二道河，头道河又在哪里，韩秋云就不知道了。  韩秋云和陈墨涵就顺着河东岸的柳荫堤坝，向南走去。  步子有些无精打采。  跟梁大牙分了手，韩秋云从心里长长地出了一口气，但是很快又涌上一丝怅惘，静下心来惦前虑后，又觉着对待梁大牙委实过分了点。不管咋说，梁大牙还算不上是个坏人啦。但是，在韩秋云的眼里，梁大牙也算不上是什么好人。要她举例梁大牙坏在哪里，她未必能说出个一二三四，反正她从心里是讨厌这个人的。一个人讨厌一个人，也许用不着什么道理，一个女子讨厌一个男人，更是无需什么理由的。 自然，韩秋云不喜欢梁大牙，是因了很多根由，而在诸多根由里，陈克训的存在恐怕是最令韩秋云排斥梁大牙的。那个温文尔雅的学子，那个满脑子新奇学问的少爷，那身洁净贵重的洋装，还有那飘散着书卷气和青年男子气息的飘逸的身体，都让韩秋云倾心地迷醉。跟文气儒雅的陈克训相比较，猴头猴脑的梁大牙自然类同臭虫了。  韩秋云突然想到，这一去，就算离开蓝桥埠了，今生今世，哪里是家呢？没有了陈克训，也摆脱了梁大牙，前面的路，也就只有跟着陈墨涵走了。想想又想哭。 陈墨涵现在进入的是另外一种境界。  洛安州距离省垣庐州不过百十里路，日本人打过来后，不断有来自省垣和北平、南京的学生，到洛安州秘密活动，策动学生运动。那些闻所未闻的新思潮，那些惊人魂魄的故事，为陈墨涵打开了一个更加广阔的天地。特别是国文教员王兰田，还经常给陈墨涵等人上小课，使陈墨涵耳目一新，有脱胎换骨的感觉。且不说从孔圣人以下的读书人历来就把天下兴亡看成自己的职责，单凭莱茵河畔那位沧桑智者的一声极具诱惑力的天唤——全世界无产者联合起来，就足以使青年学生热血澎湃。陈墨涵便是这些青年中的一个。  在学校时，他听王兰田先生讲，凹凸山的八路军是很苦的，筹集不到军饷，药品、弹药和粮食都缺。他寻思自己家庭是个没落的官僚家庭，资产不少，理所当然应该贡献出来支援抗战。可是回到蓝桥埠之后，管家死活不给他钱，说是老爷有交代，不见老爷的手据谁也不能提钱。他软硬兼施，好说歹说，管家才给他三十块大洋，而且明说了，是给他去南京作盘缠的。更让人沮丧的是，就这三十块大洋，还由于日军突袭，慌乱出逃，没有能够带出来。他感到对不起王先生，当初是夸下海口的，至少要筹集三百大洋去给八路军作见面礼，如今两手空空，君子失信，先生面前实在不好交代。  陈墨涵感到不安的第二件事，是没有能够说动梁大牙和朱一刀一起去梅岭。  从心眼里讲，陈墨涵是看不起梁大牙的，这个人没正形，好起来像个大侠，坏起来像个强盗。可是退一步想，梁大牙也有梁大牙的长处，他豪爽仗义，为人无私且无畏，挣多少钱，花多少钱，真正是穷光蛋品格，这样的人如果拉去梅岭，打鬼子应该是块好料。  大约又往前走了五六里路，半轮月亮升起来，脚下的路就看得清晰了。露水悄然浸到身上，陈墨涵不禁打了个寒噤，回过头去问韩秋云：“你冷么？”  韩秋云抱起双臂，说：“还好，就是有点饿。”  是饿啊。陈墨涵觉得肚皮快贴脊梁骨了。掰着指头算，从早晨到眼前，一整天没有吃东西了。  “再忍忍吧，”陈墨涵说，咽了一口唾沫，硬着头皮伸直了腰，“到了梅岭，先跟王先生要顿饭吃。”
