Chapter 19 Chapter 15 Farewell to the Mountain Village

Liu Yan got up before dawn. At that time, Mu Liangfeng was still soundly asleep. During this period of time, he hardly had a good night's sleep on the front line. In addition, the bandit Wang Baoshan made a fuss again in the middle of the night last night. Even more listless.He slept until it was three o'clock in the morning, when Liu Yan came to shake him awake: "Stop sleeping lazy, it's time to get up, wash up and have breakfast." Mu Liangfeng looked at the sun outside, smiled uncomfortably and said, "I overslept, and you didn't wake me up earlier." "Seeing you awake so well, I don't have the heart to disturb you." Liu Yan smiled and gave him a blank look.

Mu Liangfeng put on his clothes, tidied up, took out the stack of banknotes from his backpack, counted 300 yuan and handed it to Liu Yan: "Sister, the money is for you." Seeing that there was so much money in his bag, Liu Yan was stunned: "You got so much money?" "The boss said that he was meritorious in killing the enemy, so he rewarded me." "I'm not short of money. Why do I need your money? Besides, it's money you got in exchange for your life. I don't want it." Mu Liangfeng really wanted to give her the money, but seeing her rejecting him, he became anxious: "I don't know how to spend the money, so I want to give it to you."

Liu Yan insisted on not accepting it: "Hurry up and collect the money, and then go home and give it to grandpa." "My grandfather is not short of money to live in the mountains, and he often has some surplus." What Mu Liangfeng said was the truth, life in the mountains is much better than that of people in the mountains. "That's not okay, I am you, dare to ask for this money." Mu Liangfeng didn't know how to answer this question, his face flushed all of a sudden, "Anyway, I'll just give you the money." Seeing that he was really in a hurry, Liu Yan sighed and took the 300 yuan: "I've never seen a man as stupid as you, so I'll save it for you first, and you can come and get it whenever you need it. "

The two went downstairs, and there were already people drinking tea in the teahouse. When they saw Mu Liangfeng coming down with Liu Yan, the eyes of the young and old turned green and their teeth were itchy with hatred, as if they were saying, the beauty of Fenglingdu To be put to sleep by this stinky brat, it really smoked from his ancestral grave. Liu Yan didn't care at all what others thought of her relationship with Mu Liangfeng, she even showed off a bit, and dragged the little man downstairs graciously.On the contrary, Mu Liangfeng felt a little guilty, even though nothing happened between him and Liu Yan last night, but he did sleep in this woman's room last night, which would be somewhat embarrassing for him who is innocent.

He blushed and glanced at the "tea drinkers" in the teahouse, his gaze was like a torch, and a few guys with ulterior motives dared to look at him, and they all pretended to look away and "chat".Mu Liangfeng didn't have breakfast at the teahouse, he said to Liu Yan: "Sister, I'm going home first, and I'll see you tomorrow." Liu Yan didn't insist on keeping him, and sent him to the door with a smile, seeing his figure disappear at the entrance of the town, she was a little crazy. Tie Zhu brought the teapot over: "Shopkeeper, don't you want my brother Mu to leave!?"

Liu Yan just turned around and came back, but her face was already red: "Go, what do children know!" Tie Zhu giggled and leaned over: "Of course I know." "What do you little kids know?" "You like Brother Mu, and he likes you too." Tie Zhu said softly and went back to work with a smile on his face. Liu Yan blushed and looked at the men drinking tea. They didn't tease her with nonsense like usual. , everyone was drinking tea with their heads down honestly. Within a few days, there was a piece of gossip circulating in Fenglingdu: Liu Yan, the shopkeeper of Liuyan Teahouse, had a new backer, and that backer was Mu Liangfeng, the spear king of the 204th regiment of the National Army.After the news came out, the hearts of the lechers in the town were as cold as ice.

In the town, Mu Liangfeng bought some gifts for his grandfather and neighbor Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhao, two jars of good wine, three packs of good cigarettes, and some daily necessities. There is no shortage of food on the mountain, but these things are not easy to buy. Mr. Mu was chopping firewood when he saw a soldier coming from a distance on the opposite mountain road, a neighbor ran over and said, "Master, there is a soldier coming over there, do you think it looks like a good encounter?" Mr. Mu hurriedly put down his work, and when he saw that it was really his grandson, he sat on Emperor Chaihuo with a straight face and waited for him.

Mu Liangfeng walked to the door and said to him with a smile, "Grandpa, do you see what I brought back for you?" "You still know this is your home! You don't even discuss with me about being a soldier. Do you still see me as an old man?" Seeing Mu Liangfeng's return, several neighbors surrounded him happily. Some persuaded the old man to calm down, and some praised him for being brave in the war, saying that he had won honor for the village and had a good face. "Grandpa, you also said that Hao Erlang is going to the battlefield to defend the motherland, why are you unhappy that your grandson is really on the front line?" Uncle Zhou accompanied him carefully and persuaded him.

The old man sighed: "I will tell you something today!" "How many years have I brought Liangfeng to the village?" Several neighbors thought about it and said, "It's been almost ten years!" "Do you know why I brought my grandson to this deep mountain?" The neighbors looked at each other and shook their heads. "Liangfeng's parents joined the Communist Party in the early years. They have been away for so many years, and their life and death are uncertain. It was not until last year that someone brought me a letter saying that the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army. He is also on the Eighth Route Army now. Leading troops to fight devils." Mr. Mu's eyes were wet: "Everyone, tell me, our Mu family has three generations of single generations, it is impossible for the two of you to be sent to the battlefield at the same time, right?"

"My original intention was that when Liangfeng became an adult, I would at least save him for our shepherd's family before going to fight the devils. I didn't expect this kid to be a soldier without saying a word." The old man's concept is more traditional. It was the first time Mu Liangfeng heard his grandfather mentioned his parents, and the family love that had been missing for many years suddenly came to his heart. The scar of no father and no mother was uncovered, and his tears flowed down suddenly: "Why did you Never tell me about my parents?" "Son, did we dare to say it before? If you let the government know that your parents are Communists, you would still be alive today! Now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have cooperated, I dare to tell you this."

Mr. Mu was crying all the time: "At that time, family members of the Communist Party were caught everywhere, and they found us. Thanks to Mayor Wu for saving you, he tipped the news in advance, and let me take you to this deep mountain to hide overnight." The eyes of several neighbors were also a little red.They never expected that the Mu family was also a loyal family.Everyone persuaded Mr. Mu, saying: "Liangfeng has already put on this suit, and if he runs away, he will be a deserter. Please show mercy and let him continue to fight devils on the front line!" "Master Mu sighed: "This is life!Good luck!Go fight the devils!Find your parents while beating devils. " "What are my parents' names?" "Your father's name is Mu Daming, and your mother's name is Yu Xiulan. After all, they are both in their early 40s this year." "Father and mother have been away for so many years, why didn't they come back to see us?" Mu Liangfeng looked aggrieved. Old Master Mu wiped away his tears, sighed and said, "Forget it, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve since ancient times, and I don't blame them. I just hope that you will drive away the devils as soon as possible, and the family will be reunited." "Uncles and aunts, it will be difficult for me to go home from now on, and my grandpa needs to ask everyone to help take care of me." Mu Liangfeng knelt down and kowtowed to everyone. Several uncles and aunts helped him up: "This child, you can kill more devils with peace of mind, the old man will be taken care of by us." Mu Liangfeng distributed some things brought back from the town to several neighbors, and took the rest back to the house. After a simple meal at home, he bid farewell to his grandfather and neighbors' uncles and aunts. Liangfeng crossed a mountain until he completely disappeared at the end of the mountain road...
