Chapter 25 1. Military pursuit

In 1943, the four halls held a lobby meeting in Chongqing, and the grandfather brought the "Fengzishou" that time.As a result, Qin Baichuan, the former head of the Western School, failed to handle the relationship with the local warlords, and was almost taken over by others.The scheming grandfather almost took the opportunity to kill Qin Baichuan with a knife. Qin Baichuan is the proud disciple of Liu Congyun, the "Great Immortal" in Sichuan. Who is Liu Congyun?The 14th generation leader of the Western School "Longxuya", the founder of "Yiguan Xiantian Dao", once served as a military adviser to Liu Xiang, a great warlord and "King of Sichuan".Back then when Zhang Dancheng was proud, the head of the Western School was Duan Jinshan, and Liu Congyun was just a little foot in Duan Jinshan's hall, but Liu Congyun was extremely smart, courageous and resourceful. After Duan Jinshan died, he soon became the head of the hall. .

In 1936, Liu Xiang saw through Liu Congyun's tricks (detailed table later), and issued a hunting order. Liu Congyun was so frightened that he quickly hid. In 1938, Liu Xiang died of illness, and Liu Congyun returned to Sichuan, intending to regain control of Tangkou, but Tangkou had already been drawn out by Qin Baichuan, and there was no place for him.Liu Congyun gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was no other way. Qin Baichuan could kill him with one sentence: "Liu Xiang left a last word before his death. First, to fight the war to the end and swear national humiliation. Second, pursue and kill Liu Congyun to relieve the hatred in his heart." The implication is that you, Liu Congyun, are lucky to be alive, and you dare to show up as a master dad?Since then, Liu Congyun hid in Shanghai. After liberation, he was sentenced to death with a reprieve by the Chengdu Intermediate Court, and later died of illness.

Qin Baichuan was a ruthless person, but also a very face-saving person. He did not tell everyone that he was in conflict with a certain warlord at that time.On the second day of the church meeting, the little feet outside came to report, saying that a group of men with guns was running towards this side. Qin Baichuan was furious at that time, pulled out the gun from his waist, and shouted: "Damn shovel! You are bullying me!" Grandpa felt that something was wrong, and immediately said: "Don't worry! Let's hide for a while before we talk!" Several dams took out their guns, loaded the bullets, and everyone started to evacuate.The regular army is different from the bandits in the mountains. They have strategies. The previous group of people was trying to build momentum, just like driving ducks. They drove you out first, and showed the number of people. In fact, the main roads leading to the mountains from the outside have already After laying an ambush, dozens of people attending the meeting in the lobby, just arrived at a corner, when a group of people burst out of the woods and shot when they came up.

"Feng Zishou" threw the grandfather to the ground at once, but he was shot, which happened to hit his left arm. "Little six!" Grandpa yelled distressedly. Grandpa knows something big is going on!This is the regular army!The trick Qin Baichuan made is too big! The few little feet in front of the runner were all killed, and the rest of them hid in a residential area and fired back. , tall and deep, easy to move around. Although "Feng Zishou" was injured, he still followed his grandfather closely and was ready to block bullets for his grandfather at any time.

Grandpa frowned, thinking about ways to get out.Looking at the others, Qin Baichuan was courageous enough, holding a gun in his hand, shooting and cursing at the same time.After Qian Yuelin heard the gunshot, his eyes rolled back and forth. He was very scared, but he didn't want to lose the majesty of the master father, so he was pretending.And Jiang Feiyan was very calm. She was looking at her grandfather. Erbatou was also there at the time. After she escaped from danger, Erbatou said to Tangkou's brothers: "At that time, Jiang Feiyan only had grandpa in her eyes." In fact, the brothers at the hall talked in private, saying that Jiang Feiyan liked grandpa, because Jiang Feiyan had a cold face to everyone, but she would laugh at grandpa.

While the grandfather was thinking, he suddenly heard the soldiers outside shouting: "Capture Qin Baichuan alive!" When the grandfather heard it, he understood.This sentence reveals two meanings. First, the other party is here for Qin Baichuan, because the hall meeting is highly confidential, and no one knows that it is a meeting at the four halls, so the other party only knows that Qin Baichuan is here, not Know what other people are doing. Second, to capture alive is to capture alive, not to put people to death immediately. The grandfather thought for a while, and said to Qin Baichuan: "Master Qin, I have a plan to save everyone!"

Qin Baichuan bent down and said, "It doesn't matter if you escape the danger or not, it's just a matter of death!" The grandfather said: "It doesn't matter if we die. Look at these dozens of brothers. Do you have the heart to let them die in vain?" Feeling warm in their hearts, everyone looked at grandpa expectantly. Qin Baichuan sighed, and said, "What's the best idea, grandfather?" The grandfather glanced at him and said: "I heard the other party calling to capture Master Qin alive, I guess it must be that Master Qin has misunderstood the other party, because they don't want to hurt Master Qin in a hurry..." After finishing speaking, Grandpa stared at Qin Baichuan .

When things got to this point, although no one said anything about it, they had already started to resent Qin Baichuan in their hearts. They held a meeting on your site and ended up being surrounded by others. You didn't even know what kind of master dad you were! Qin Baichuan glanced at everyone and said, "It's still the old story of Master Liu (referring to Liu Congyun). Master Liu has deceived too many people. Recently, a head of the Kuomintang Independent Group came to the door and asked me to pay back the money that Master Liu cheated on back then. For the money that was taken away, I said that the grievance has its culprit, the debt has its owner, and there is no cent! I didn’t expect him to be serious!”

When the grandfather heard it, he probably understood a little bit, but then he felt something was wrong.Qin Baichuan was also a well-known person in Sichuan, and he had a long history of contacts with high-level government officials. If the head of an independent group dared to order his subordinates to capture Qin Baichuan alive, he must have obtained permission from above, because after all, Chongqing was the capital of the Nationalist Government at that time. Most people don't have the guts to activate the regular army to pick things up. Grandfather saw the clues in this, but still said: "I don't think it's a big deal, it's just a misunderstanding. I have a plan to slow down the army, but..."

Qin Baichuan asked: "Just what? Grandfather, please tell me!" Grandpa said: "I just want to wrong Master Qin!" Qin Baichuan was startled: "How?" The grandfather said: "Now we are surrounded and only have a few guns in our hands. Either we die together and the 'Jiang Xiangpai' perishes, or Master Qin pretends to surrender and we all pretend to be your subordinates and tie you up. Give it to the other party, and after we get out, immediately clear up the relationship and rescue Master Qin!" Qin Baichuan was taken aback, his grandfather looked at him, and then said: "Well, I guess few of the soldiers outside really know Master Qin, I'll make up, put on a beard, put on a hat, and pretend to be Qin Baichuan. Lord, you tied me up, sent me out, and then you chose an opportunity to escape!"

When Jiang Feiyan heard it, she couldn't help shouting: "Grandpa!" Grandfather is advancing by retreating. At this juncture, everyone is looking at Qin Baichuan. Qin Baichuan is already on the verge of riding a tiger!Grandpa is poisonous enough. Live for brothers, die for brothers, this is a sentence that the leaders of the church often say. When it comes to the truth, Qin Baichuan, as a master father, has caused such a big trouble. He should stand up and solve it by himself. It's really inappropriate to wait until someone reminds me! Qin Baichuan hated his grandfather to death!But the duck is on the rack, so there is no way to roast it dry. Qin Baichuan had to make a high profile: "What kind of words is this grandfather talking about! One person does things and one person is responsible! Since the day I, Qin Baichuan, joined Tangkou, I have taken life and death lightly! Grandpa The words just now reminded me that you should quickly tie me up and give it to them. If anything happens to me, the 'Longxuya' will be handed over to my disciple Fang Huatian! Grandpa and all the masters please help me wholeheartedly, Don't let the foundation of 'Longxuya' be destroyed!" Qin Baichuan is also quite shady, in front of the brothers in the four halls of the south, east, west, and northwest, he made a speech generously, and explained everything about his funeral, which means that even if I die, your grandfather should not even think about interfering in the affairs of the Western School. Things, young and old are all here today, if you have plans in the future, it would be treachery! Qin Baichuan was tied up with a few little feet, and the grandfather shouted: "Sirs, we have captured Qin Baichuan and handed it over to you! Please let us live!" When the people outside heard this, they immediately replied, "Throw out all your guns!" Grandpa winked at everyone, and everyone threw several guns out. The people outside shouted again: "Get Qin Baichuan out!" Qin Baichuan was pushed forward with two little feet, and the rest followed behind with their hands raised. Walking up to a leader, the grandfather said with a smile on his face: "Sir! Qin Baichuan was caught by us! We don't want to do anything with him for a long time! Just have this opportunity today! Please sir, let the little ones survive! Our family There is always an old mother on top, and wives and children on the bottom, please..." Before the grandfather finished speaking, the kid came up and slapped the grandfather, "Go to your mother's shovel! Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Then he waved at his subordinates, "Take them all back to me!" !" "Feng Zishou" was in a hurry and wanted to kill him, but the grandfather grabbed him. Grandpa was thinking about the best time to escape. We discussed it in the house before. If the other party can let us go, that would be the best. Place, while the other party is not paying attention, looking for an opportunity to escape. Grandpa told everyone that when running away, no one should care about the other, each run separately and break up into parts, so as to distract the other party's attention, and prevent the young ones from dying in order to save the old ones. Meet at the agreed place. When escaping, he listened to his grandfather's password. Grandpa coughed, and then sent darts at the same time as "Fengzishou". The brothers in the hall knew that the two men's flying nail skills were very good. Nail, after the grandfather and "Feng Zishou" hit the flying nail, the opponent will be in chaos, and everyone will have a chance to escape. The grandfather glanced at "Feng Zishou", the left arm of "Feng Zishou" was still bleeding, the grandfather nodded at him, and he nodded at his grandfather; the grandfather glanced at Jiang Feiyan again, but Jiang Feiyan didn't speak , Grandpa didn't speak either.This is a moment when life and death are uncertain. Once a war breaks out later, the gun has no eyes, and it is not certain who will die and who will live. The inflection point of fate always seems to be so magical. Grandpa was walking and observing the surrounding terrain, when suddenly there was a humming sound in the sky. In that war-torn era, everyone was very sensitive to this sound, air strike! Beginning in 1938, Japan bombed Chongqing indiscriminately for five years in an attempt to destroy the capital of the Kuomintang.In fact, the Japanese had no choice but to bomb Chongqing. Chongqing had a unique terrain, with the Yangtze River as a ditch and surrounded by mountains as a barrier. So the Japanese began to implement the frenzied "indiscriminate bombing" mode, canceling the boundaries between the front line and the rear, the combatants and the civilians. After each airdrop, shrapnel flew, and Chongqing was a sea of ​​fire. , In the alleys, after the bombing, there are corpses scattered all over the place. At this moment, the plane was close to the top of the head, and the boy in the lead shouted: "Lie down!" More than 20 soldiers clattered and fell down with their heads in their arms. Seeing that the time had come, the grandfather waved his hand: "Run away!" All Ah Bao fled in all directions, and those soldiers lay down on the ground and shot at them. After firing a few shots, the bombs on their heads fell, and one fell right in the middle of the road. The big tree fell, and Jiang Feiyan and several daughters, Abao, happened to be not far from the bomb. The powerful shock wave knocked them over. The grandfather who had already run far away saw this scene, and rushed back again, braving the bombardment. Jiang Feiyan was already stunned. Grandpa picked her up and ran into the forest. Another bomb landed on the ground. The fire of the bomb made the twenty or so soldiers dare not raise their heads. It quickly disappeared into the vast mountains. At the second watch, everyone gathered at the back mountain.Counting the number of people at each hall, there were 7 people missing in total, including Qin Baichuan. I don't know if he slipped away by himself or was beaten to death in a panic. Jiang Feiyan gradually regained consciousness. A piece of shrapnel hit her left shoulder. Grandpa tore his long gown and bandaged her to stop the bleeding.The grandfather said to everyone: "Sister Yan and Xiaoliuzi are both injured, we must find a doctor quickly!" Er Batou said: "Let's go back to Master Qin's hall first, maybe Master Qin is there too, and we will find a doctor when we get there!" Jiang Xiangpai has a rule that when holding a meeting in the lobby, in order to deceive people, it will not be held at the entrance of the hall. It is always to find a quiet and strange place, in case people take away the old nest, and the meeting location, except for the participants , other people can never figure it out.The lobby will gather the master dads of each hall and some of the elites of each hall. Once something goes wrong, it will be related to the life and death of Jiang Xiangpai, so this is the top secret!The place for this meeting was about 20 miles away from the entrance of "Longxuya", which was carefully selected by Qin Baichuan. The grandfather took a look at Erba's head, shook his head and said, "Master Qin's hall has probably been taken away." When everyone heard it, they exclaimed. Qian Yuelin, who had been silent all this time, said: "Grandfather's analysis is reasonable! Since he can surround us, it means he has control over our whereabouts. Since he dared to capture Master Qin alive, his hall has probably been destroyed! " At this time, a little foot at the entrance of the "Longxuya" said: "Grandpa, if this is the case, the doctors in the city will not dare to look for them. We will be arrested as soon as we show up. Over this mountain, there is a stockade. There is a local doctor, the younger one often asks him to see a doctor for his family, and let him see if he can be saved!" Sanbatou was also there at the time, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "This mountain is on the second side of the mountain, and the mountain is steep. It may be dangerous to climb the mountain at night." The grandfather ignored him, and said to Qian Yuelin: "Master Qian, I think so, I will take a few people to find the doctor, and the rest will be led by Master Qian, and go down the mountain in the dark. whereabouts..." In the middle of speaking, the grandfather put his mouth next to Qian Yuelin's ear, whispered a few words, and Qian Yuelin kept nodding. So, the troops were divided into two groups, and the grandfather went with Erbatou, Sanbatou, "Fengzishou", and the female Abao of the Southern School "Yue Haitang" and the one led by "Longxuya" Little feet, they took turns replacing grandfather and helping to carry Jiang Feiyan. At five o'clock, I finally arrived at the place that little foot said.Grandpa saw that it was a village of the Miao family.The little foot knocked on the door of the doctor, and the doctor came out with his clothes on. When he opened the door, he was shocked to see a dozen people standing in front of the door.The little foot hurriedly saluted and said: "Excuse me, old man. My friends are in the mule business. When they passed the mountain during the day, they were bombed by devils and chased by bandits. As a result, two people were injured. Please, old man." Help!" The doctor said, "Come into the house!" After entering the house, under the dim light, grandfather could see clearly that this is an old man in his fifties, with fluttering beard and beard, like a fairy. The old doctor carefully observed the injuries of Jiang Feiyan and "Feng Zishou", then went into the back room and took out a box.After opening it, everyone saw that there were knives, pliers, tweezers, silver needles, and a bunch of bottles and jars filled with medicine. The old doctor wanted to perform surgery on Jiang Feiyan and "Feng Zishou". For Chinese medicine, surgery has a very strict procedure.Jiang Feiyan was seriously injured, so the old doctor did it for her first. The old doctor first took out a pack of medicinal noodles, put them in a casserole, added water and put a few herbs, boiled it for a while, poured it into a bowl, and asked his grandfather to hold Jiang Feiyan and slowly pour it down for her. "Sleeping Holy Powder, drink it, and you won't feel any pain." The old doctor seemed to be talking to himself.Grandfather knew it as soon as he heard it. "Sleeping Holy Powder" has been recorded in many medical books. Before the operation, if you drink it, you will be completely anesthetized. Seeing that Jiang Feiyan had finished drinking, the old doctor took out a sharp knife and grilled the sharp knife on the charcoal fire. This is high-temperature disinfection. While burning, he said to his grandfather, "Lie her flat on the bed and untie her coat." The grandfather was taken aback, and quickly reached out to greet the female Abao who was standing beside him, "Come and help the old man." Then he said to the others, "You follow me out and wait." After Jiang Feiyan drank the medicine, she was a little unconscious, but she still had the last sliver of clarity in her heart. She pulled Grandpa's hand hard, trying not to let Grandpa leave. Grandpa slowly took her hand away and said softly: " Sister Yan, we are all waiting outside, we will recover soon." After touching a stick of incense, the old doctor came out, wiped his hands and said to the grandfather: "The shrapnel has been taken out. The wound has been covered with medicine and stitched up. I still need to take some decoction internally for a few days and rest for a week to recover." Grandpa walked in and saw Jiang Feiyan was still sleeping, he hurriedly saluted the old man and said, "Thank you, old man!" The old Langzhong didn't speak, and started to boil "Sleeping Shengsan" again. "Feng Zishou" saw it, smiled, and said, "Old man, I don't need it. I can hold it back. My gunshot wound is not deep. Take it out as soon as possible." Just bullets." The old doctor didn't seem to hear what "Feng Zishou" said, so he boiled it for a while, poured the decoction into a bowl, and handed it to "Feng Zishou". "Feng Zishou" looked at his grandfather helplessly, raised his neck, and drank it in one gulp. Only then did the old doctor speak: "In this sleeping sanctuary, I added hemostatic lotus, which not only has an anesthetic effect, but also has a hemostatic effect." Grandpa nodded when he heard this. After a while, "Feng Zishou" was sleepy and lay on a bed. The old doctor also operated the knife, sterilized it with charcoal fire, and then cut open the wound. The wound had been open for too long, and the congestion inside had turned black.The old doctor carefully cut open the layers of flesh, slowly used tweezers to clip the bullet out, then applied a ball of yellow ointment on the wound, and finally used a small clip to clip a ball of silk thread from a small bottle, and inserted it into the needle. During the process, the wound was sutured with one stitch. This kind of silk thread, my grandfather has seen it before.When Dabatou and the gangsters were injured in a fire, they also used this kind of thread to suture. Then wrap the tendons one by one in the outer skin, wipe them on the plate several times, and then take them out, the tendons will become bright and soft silk threads. Put these silk threads into a small bottle containing medicine to keep them soft , Take it out when in use, insert a fine needle, and you can suture the wound. The biggest advantage of the "mulberry thread" is that it does not need to be removed, and the thread will grow in the flesh as the wound heals and blend with the human flesh. After dawn, both Jiang Feiyan and "Feng Zishou" woke up, and the grandfather said with relief, "Finally woke up, Sister Yan and Little Six are resting here for a few days, and I will take the other brothers back to the city to find out about the wind." Jiang Feiyan was still weak due to excessive blood loss, and said softly, "Thank you grandpa for risking his life to save me." The grandfather said: "If one family doesn't speak two different languages, Sister Yan can rest in peace and recuperate." "Feng Zishou" sat up, stretched his arms, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, grandfather, I'll go back to the city with you." The grandfather waved his hand, "No. I let you stay to protect your master father—Sister Yan." When Jiang Feiyan heard this, her eyes turned red and she turned her head to the side.
