Chapter 92 "Bandit" Laoguan

In the early years, my two aunts jumped the queue in Lianhua Paozi, Luobei County, Heilongjiang. I had never been to that place, but I saw a "bandit" from there. Lao Guan is a non-staff member of the educated youth station, with a simple and honest image, short stature, his hands are usually tucked into his sleeves, his eyes are narrowed, and he likes to squint at people.I was still young when I saw him. He followed the technicians to Beijing to purchase machines, so he stayed at our house.I heard the adults in the family say that this Laoguan is a nice person, but he likes to get up in the middle of the night to take a walk and drink.My aunt mentioned this in a letter, so don't be surprised, it's just his problem.

This is very curious about Laoguan.One Sunday morning, the family was going to the park. Lao Guan saw it, squinted his eyes and said—don't go out, it rained heavily this afternoon. My lord looked at the sky, the blue sky was clear, and I read the newspaper, but there was nothing in the weather forecast, so I said go out and have a look, and come back if I can't. Lao Guan wrinkled two long lines on his cheeks and stopped talking. When I arrived at the park at noon, the wind started to blow, and suddenly dark clouds surrounded me. At one o'clock, heavy rain poured down.That time we had to hide for more than two hours in a restaurant selling winter vegetable buns in Zhongshan Park.My uncle, who was also an educated youth there, found out about this, and said casually, "Old Guan, he knows how to watch the sky."

Later, when it came to Zhuge Liang calling the wind and calling the rain, Lao Sa couldn't help but think of Lao Guan. Laoguan is actually not at all like Zhuge Liang.In the 1970s, he earned more than 60 yuan a month and was single. He was definitely a rich man.But as soon as the wages are paid, I go to buy wine first, and a piece of sweet potato that costs 15 catties burns 30 catties.I have to drink one catty of wine a day, and for the rest, I eat seven catties of grain every month and cook porridge. If I want to drink, I have a bowl.Others, he likes the offal in the cafeteria, and he is not picky. Add some vegetables, soy sauce and salt, and the stew will be full of flavor.

Laoguan's official job is to watch the yard, and the temperature is 30 to 40 degrees below zero. Others describe him as urinating with a stick and knocking with his urine. As for him, he can sleep in the wild with a big cotton jacket, which is very peaceful. At that time, there were always Soviet spies, Luobei was on the Sino-Soviet border, and a group of educated youths were trained as armed militias.From time to time, the regiment headquarters sent them to follow a cadre of the armed forces to patrol the riverside-in fact, they just lay there to see if there were any spies crossing the border.Sometimes there are drills.Laoguan didn't know what it was, so the regiment headquarters let him go, and he also had a short gun.

The educated youth secretly said that Lao Guan's eyes became brighter and brighter in the middle of the night, this person is evil. Once, when I was lying on my stomach, there was a sudden "bang" gunshot.In the panic, someone discovered that Lao Guan was blowing the smoke from the muzzle of his gun. Everyone is empty guns, how can he have live ammunition? ! The cadres of the Armed Forces ran over politely, and were about to ask questions, when someone from the female militia squad on the other wing exclaimed.Look closely, in the hazelnut forest next to the female militiamen, a leopard stands up unsteadily.The leopard walked stiffly, trembling as if it was swinging forward, and fell to the ground after a few steps.

At this time, the Soviet border guard station on the opposite side was already ringing the alarm, and the searchlights were shining everywhere. In the flash, one of the leopard's eye sockets had become a black hole, bleeding out. Afterwards, some people said that Laoguan used to work in the Anti-Japanese League, and asked the regiment headquarters, what did the regiment say about the Anti-Japanese Federation?Where did Lao Guan work in the Anti-Union League?He said he was a bandit! But suddenly someone came to transfer from outside, and it seemed that the meaning was to ask Lao Guan to prove the history of a big cadre.My uncle is a security officer, and he's listening.I don't remember the historical issues, but I remember Lao Guan said that many soldiers of the Anti-Union League died not in battle, but from freezing to death.

"The devil's plane is flying above, and it can't be ignited. As soon as you have smoke, the crusade team will follow. There is no bullet, so I can't fire it." "When you're about to freeze to death, you'll feel extremely hot, so you'll start stripping off your clothes, hugging trees, and yelling about the heat. At that time, there's no way out." "Sixteen in a row, and I was the only one who died. When I walked to Mushroom Head, a fellow villager gave me a bag of raw sorghum rice and told me that the army commander was dead." "I buried the gun and walked into the big forest."

"Just build a horse stand in the woods, and eat that bag of sorghum rice all winter." "I plant the land, grow and eat by myself. When someone comes, I will go to the deep mountains, and the deeper and deeper I go. The army commander said that you can't be a traitor if you are killed." "I asked them, what year is this year. They said, 1947. Did I say the devils left? They said that the devils have surrendered for two years, my brother, my brother. After talking, they hugged Me, that cry." That day, all the people present stayed up all night and forgot what they were here for.

What Lao Guan said should be true. He worked as a messenger and knew Yu Tianfang.In the early years, Yu Tianfang, the commander of the Heilongjiang Provincial Military Region, inspected the farm, and Yu Tianfang recognized him with a salute.That day, Lao Guan, who was watching the field, talked with the original political commissar of the Sixth Team of the Anti-Japanese League for half a night, and went to fight again when the wine bottle was empty.The next day, when Yu Tian Fang left, Lao Guan didn't come out to see him off. I heard that he was asked to go with him, and Lao Guan would not do it.

The next day, when the transferee left, the red-eyed uncle tried to ask, "Are you not the Anti-Japanese League? Why do you tell people that you are a bandit?" Laoguan didn't speak for a while, turned around with a straight face, looked at the sky and said: "I didn't become a traitor, but I was afraid of death, so I buried the gun. The Anti-Japanese League didn't have my number. The commander said, I'm afraid Death is inappropriate for the Anti-Union Alliance." The uncle said that he didn't dare to look at Lao Guan's face. In the 1980s, Lao Guan died.For this reason, whether Lao Guan is an anti-Japanese or a bandit, no one is going to find out.

Lao Guan had a cerebral hemorrhage and was just in his 60s, and people said he died of drinking.He didn't leave a last word, but told people a few years ago that he would be for nothing if he lived to this age. The commander of the army mentioned by Lao Guan, Wang Yachen, who was reported as "Shuanglong", died in Wuchang County in 1941.Laoguan has planted the land in the forest for six years. In the fourteen years since the Northeast was occupied, Laoguan has never been a subjugated slave for a single day.
