Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Two men named Tiesheng meet by chance

Betrayal is an act of earthlings. Betrayal is a typical expression of the character of earthlings. Betrayal, not found in other terrestrial behaviors. Does betrayal also exist in the behavior of extraterrestrial creatures?unknown. Betrayal is a very bad, very cheap, very despicable, very indecent, very shameful, very cruel, very cruel, very terrible behavior. It must be explained: Betrayal is by no means the same as treason. Betrayal is betrayal, treason is treason. Rebellion is carried out in the open, and betrayal is carried out in secret. Rebellion can be aboveboard, but betrayal must be dark and gloomy.

The problem is not with the word "betrayal", but with the word "back". Everyone has the right to join and divide with anyone, and agree to oppose—this process is rebellion.But if the betrayed party is doing all this, the betrayed party is completely unaware, and the betrayed party is still trying to deceive the betrayed party, that is a betrayal. Being betrayed is a very painful thing, and its degree of distress is probably the most painful that human beings can feel. What was the earliest betrayal in human history? It is recorded in "Genesis": "Then the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food, and pleasing to the eyes, and pleasing to the eyes, and could make a man wise, so she took the fruit, ate it, and gave it to her. Husband, her husband ate too."

It started with the woman, who could not stand the temptation and rebelled against God. (There must be one or more temptations in the act of betrayal.) (The God who has been betrayed has shown a great heart that humans cannot express. Since then, mankind has fallen into the abyss of sin, but God still does everything possible to save the world, and even sent his only son to wash away the sins of the world with precious blood. ) The story doesn't actually start with preaching, but with a war. War is also one of human behaviors. Since the beginning of human history, on this asteroid inhabited by humans, there has never been a day when there have been various wars.It is so big and ancient that the battle between Xuanyuan Huangdi and You in the northern plains of China shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods.Small and close to the open space outside the house, two groups of children suddenly fought over something.

(In an act of war, there must be one or more targets for contention.) There is no need to ask the details of the time, place, and warring parties. In short, it was a war. The entire combat plan had been put forward half a year ago. The division commander, deputy division commander, and staff officers of the division staff, both large and small, had repeatedly studied in detail, and also passed information obtained through various methods. He has a clear understanding of the way the enemy generals use their troops. This battle can definitely be won, and it can be won extremely beautifully and completely.

This division has sufficient troops and good weapons. The division commander and the deputy division commander are as close as brothers. The deputy division commander often smiles and says to people, "I was picked up by the division commander from the garbage dump." And when the teacher heard the deputy teacher say that, he always smiled: "What nonsense." The deputy teacher's expression will become serious, "It was originally, nine years ago, I—" People who know the teacher and the deputy teacher have heard this conversation more than three times. It can be seen that they have not interrupted this dialogue in the past nine years.The content is exactly the same. Of course, when the division commander was brigade commander, regimental commander, battalion commander, company commander, and platoon commander, the "teacher commander" in the dialogue had to be replaced by the division commander's position at that time.

Therefore, the story does not start with the war, but with the encounter between the division commander and the deputy division commander. The division commander's surname is Gan, and his first name is Tiesheng. He seems to be born to be a general, but his appearance does not match his name or military position.If he didn't wear a military uniform, but put on a long gown and a folding fan, he would be a frail white-faced scholar at all. In fact, Gan Tiesheng has both civil and military skills. Leading troops is not easy. Not all armies have good discipline. Some veterans, who have been soldiers for ten or eight years, have experienced a lot on the battlefield, and take life and death lightly. , if you don't like it, just ignore it.

However, the soldiers led by Gan Tiesheng have always been called the "Iron Army". Naturally, it is because of his good command of the army, his outstanding strategy, and his incomparable bravery when he charged into the battle. Among the burly men, he became a laughing stock, but no one dared to underestimate him, because he fought bravely.Therefore, he became a platoon leader at the age of eighteen and a division commander at the age of twenty-seven. The deputy teacher's surname is Fang, and his first name is also Tiesheng—that is a very common Chinese male name, and it is very possible that he has the same first name and last name.

The appearance of the deputy division commander is just the opposite of the division commander's. The two of them have the same name, but their appearances are diametrically opposite. Fang Tiesheng is a real burly man. It's like a vinegar altar.A few veterans once made a bet that if he could hold a grenade with a fuse in his hand, the grenade would explode in his palm, and he would not be damaged at all. That bet naturally came to nothing, because Fang Tiesheng was as brave as Fang Tiesheng, and he didn't dare to do it to prove it. He is close to two meters tall, his body is full of muscles, and every protruding muscle is as hard as a block of steel. He is so powerful that he can carry a cannon by himself. His face is full of beards. It was true that the orderly shaved him, shaved the left half of his face, then the right half, and finished shaving the right half; the beard on the left half had sprouted again, and it would be prickly to the touch.

Therefore, Fang Tiesheng wanted to keep his head and face clean and smooth; it was impossible, so he simply kept his beard and trimmed it every ten days and a half months. His beard was dense, black and hard in circles. Replacing him, a tough and tough man, has added 12 points of stamina and might.No matter who saw it, they would applaud like pearls: "What a man." There are also legends that on the battlefield, he deliberately chose a high ground and stood there. He was as majestic as a god, and the enemy troops raised their hands and surrendered. Although this legend is a bit exaggerated, but once, the officers and soldiers in the army had fun together and played the role of "Three Heroes in the Wind and Dust". Fang Tiesheng played the role of a bearded man.

Fang Tiesheng has a square face with a thick beard and a tall stature, but he is very easy-going and never speaks harshly to his subordinates. He only blames those who don't fight hard in battle. He ignores all other mistakes and just pretends not to see them. If you ask him for something, as long as he agrees, he will agree to everything. If it weren't for his easy-going personality, even though he said: "Heroes don't care about their origins", but he couldn't always say "I was picked up from the garbage dump by the teacher" all the time. By the way, how could such a majestic general be "picked out of the trash"?

That year, Gan Tiesheng was eighteen years old and was a platoon leader in the military. Fang Tiesheng was twelve years old and was in the garbage dump. A dump, a real dump.There are countless garbage dumps like that in the world. On the garbage dumps, as usual, there are all kinds of flies, mice, wild cats, wild dogs and homeless wandering teenagers. In the heap, find something that can sustain life by it. That garbage dump is located next to a small railway station, the station is so small that there is only half of the iron house (the other half was demolished at some point, or it was rusted.) Such a small place is usually sparsely populated, and there may not be a train passing by in a day, and Gan Tiesheng happened to pass by at this time. The troop transport train was not within the normal schedule, and it wasn't because of military concerns. It was just an ordinary deployment, and it wasn't in a hurry. So the troop transport train carrying the regiment where Gan Tiesheng's platoon leader was located was running and stopping. Where to stop, there is no rule at all, it is just a temporary decision. The fate of a person is really the strangest thing in the world. An almost impossible chance can change a person's life, and a person's life can affect the lives of many people. When many people's lives are entangled and connected, the whole the fate of mankind.And everything can definitely start only by accident. If the troop carrier hadn't stopped in that little station like then, nothing would have happened later--of course, something would have happened, but it must have been completely different. One factor is not enough, if Fang Tiesheng hadn't been picking and digging in the garbage dump at that time, everything that happened later would not have happened. The two factors are not enough, and Gan Tiesheng is standing at the door of the carriage, bored. The troop carrier is full of cargo compartments, commonly known as "stuffy tank truck". In the carriage, there is a row of soldiers led by him. In front of him, there is a vast and boundless plain, until the foot of the sky, there are only a few shadows, a little shadow of a mountain.Gan Tiesheng has fought several battles. Although he is young, he has great ambitions. Looking at the land stretching forward, he is assuming that he is not a small platoon leader, but a general. In order to fight to the death with the enemy on this flat land, how to attack can we win. It can be seen that even though Fang Tiesheng was only about ten meters away from him at that time, he didn't notice it at all. Another fate-changing factor came. There was actually a station master in that small train station. At that moment, the old station master poked his head out from the half of the iron house and yelled: " Tiesheng." The reasons why Fang Tiesheng and Gan Tiesheng, two people who had no relationship at all, suddenly turned into fighting side by side, sharing life and death, fighting blood, and being brothers and sisters, were almost complete by this time. When the old station master called, the platoon leader Gan Tiesheng was taken aback. Naturally, he averted his sight of galloping across the field and commanding the thousands of horses he imagined.Look at the place where the call came out - this is the inevitable reaction of anyone who suddenly hears someone calling their name. So, he saw the old station master, but the old station master was not facing him, but facing a pile of rubbish, and pointed forward. Gan Tiesheng's gaze naturally followed his pointing. We arrived at Fang Tiesheng, but at that time, Fang Tiesheng was leaning over with his back to him, picking up the garbage with both hands. Fang Tiesheng was a few seconds late when he saw Gan Tiesheng. The old station master called again: "Tiesheng." Gan Tiesheng knew at this moment that the old station master was not calling him, but the man who was digging out the garbage. The old station master continued to yell: "Don't dig around. If there is anything to eat, the wild dogs will take it away. What is there left? On the contrary, it makes flies fly around, and the stench is so bad." At this time, Gan Tiesheng also felt an offensive stench coming from the garbage dump, and he couldn't help frowning. Although he had considerable military experience, in such a garbage dump, even if there was any leftover How can food be imported?It seems that a good person, why not try to find other ways to fill his stomach?In his heart, he had sympathy for that person, but also a bit of contempt. Before the old station master had finished speaking, Fang Tiesheng stood up straight and turned around. As soon as he turned around, he didn't look at the old station master first. He had heard what the old station master said many times, or he He didn't want to look at the old station master at all, but just shifted his eyes to one place at random, and just happened to look at Gan Tiesheng, Gan Tiesheng couldn't help but let out a low cry of "ah". It wasn't that Fang Tiesheng had any surprising and strange appearance. He was only twelve years old at that time, and naturally he didn't have a beard on his face. The reason why Gan Tiesheng made a low cry now is that Fang Tiesheng stood up very tall, with an extremely strong frame. Big, but unbelievably thin, the two arms exposed outside the torn clothes (if that can be considered clothes), are simply two big and thick bones.Apart from those eyes, there was nothing else to be found on his face. Moreover, once meeting him, anyone can see that he is just a child, his face is indescribably filthy, but it can still be seen that he is a child, at most, he is a teenager. But he was already so tall, it seemed out of proportion. After Gan Tiesheng let out a low cry, he took a deep breath again. The tall boy whose name might also be Tiesheng didn't move his eyes once he saw him. Gan Tiesheng has full access to the human emotions expressed in his unabashed gaze. Strange to say, at that moment, Gan Tiesheng fully understood what this strange young man was saying through his eyes.He is telling about his misfortune and the hardships of his life, but he also tells people that no matter how difficult it is, he must live on. He can accept sympathy from others, but he will never accept gifts. He is not a beggar. Looking for rotten and smelly food in the pile (it may not be found, at this time, he is just holding a dead mouse in his big, bony hand), and he is unwilling to beg.In his eyes, there is stubbornness, but also human self-esteem, and even includes asking others to respect him. That kind of look is extremely brave, even noble, with a bit of childish surprise. It doesn't match his appearance at this time, but it shows his inner world appropriately. The first time two people make eye contact takes quite a long time—usually, strangers rarely look at each other for more than thirty seconds.Gan Tiesheng had a very strange feeling in his heart, feeling that such a strong-boned homeless boy would have an extremely important influence and play a very important role in his life. So, without even thinking about it, he waved to Fang Tiesheng and called him at the same time: "Little brother, come here." A few days later, Fang Tiesheng recalled the encounter at that moment, and he had his own explanation. Fang Tiesheng is an orphan without father and mother. He is too young to know when his parents died. He doesn’t even know how old he is. The folk customs in northern China are relatively simple, although they cannot be taken care of for a long time. , but it is still possible to take them in for a day or two, give them a few rags, and some leftover vegetables. Fang Tiesheng grew up in this kind of situation, with wild dogs, and practiced the ability to put anything in his mouth, swallow it, and stuff his stomach.I don't know if it's because of this reason that he was surprisingly tall. When he was eight or nine years old, he stood up as tall as an adult. After he was ten years old, he became taller and thinner, and his appetite was astonishing. Twenty-four hours a day, except for sleeping, I almost spend my brain thinking about finding food.He also has many ways to find food, most of them are extremely primitive—climbing trees and catching cicadas in summer, he can catch hundreds of them, and he can eat a full meal; in winter, he dug a hole for field mice, and when he dug one, not only the voles, no matter how big or small, entered him Naturally, he is not polite and accepts all the food stored in the stomach of the voles in the cave. All frogs, four-legged snakes, wild dogs, wild cats, everything that crawls on the ground, flies in the sky, grows in the fields, and grows on the trees, all kinds of things can be turned into food once they come into his hands. The wild dogs in the countryside are very fierce. They bark at people, bite those who are bullied, and the eyes of wild dogs that have eaten dead bodies will turn red. However, because Fang Tiesheng killed wild dogs and ate too many wild dogs, all wild dogs, Seeing his shadow from afar, he fled with his tail in his arms. It is said that women and Taoists who often have to travel in the countryside tear off a small piece of cloth from Fang Tiesheng's rags and hang it on their bodies. Because it has Fang Tiesheng's smell on it, the wild dogs will stay away from it if they smell it. , to ensure the safety of passers-by. A child brought up under such circumstances is, literally, truly, a wild child. But he has been very easy-going since he was a child, only others bullied him, he never bullied others, of course, he was bullied.It is one thing to despise and not resist, but it is another thing to never like to be bullied and despised. So, when he turned around that day and saw Gan Tiesheng, he instinctively resisted for the first moment. After a few days, he said: "There are many troop carriers coming and going on the railway, some are stragglers, and some are marching in whole teams. I have seen many, and I always feel that whether it is an officer or a soldier, they seem to be of a different kind... ...something...another kind of animal, which is different from ordinary people. No one dares to resist when soldiers shout, beat and kick people. "But he is different. As soon as I saw him at the door of the carriage, he was thin and neat, but he stood so confidently. He just stood casually, as if he was the master of everything. "His eyes were very hesitant at the beginning, but suddenly became extremely... um... extremely gentle. No one has ever looked at me with such eyes. In his eyes, I saw that he would care Me, help me, that's what I've never had before... Human feelings, I looked at him, I don't know why, I felt my heart beat faster, my body was hot, I wanted to rush over and hug him tightly, Or let him hug me tightly. "I kept staring at him, and he kept looking at me. My whole body was trembling. Of course, people couldn't see the trembling from the heart. At this moment, he spoke, he spoke ..." Even though it has been many years, Fang Tiesheng's voice would still be hoarse, trembling, and emotional every time he talked about it. We can tell how excited he was at that time. He would take a deep breath, and then say: "He opened his mouth, he called me 'little brother', little brother, no one has ever called me that, I am so worthless, I am so happy in my heart, but my nose Sour, but tears rolled, I have never cried, I was so sad that even if I was about to die, I was heartbroken, but I never shed tears, that was the first time I cried." As soon as Gan Tiesheng yelled, Fang Tiesheng ran towards him immediately, and Gan Tiesheng had already seen that the homeless boy's face was full of tears, and the tears were still pouring out. Chong, some melted away, some washed away, and some remained, forming a very strange big painted face. Ordinarily, under such circumstances, Gan Tiesheng at least wanted to ask: "Why are you crying?" But he didn't ask, because he could tell at a glance that this wild boy was not crying, but was crying uncontrollably. Among all the creatures on earth, only human beings express emotions with tears. There is a close connection between the lacrimal gland and a certain area of ​​the brain. Emotions arise from the brain, whether sad or happy or touched or excited, will stimulate the lacrimal gland and produce tears. Gan Tiesheng saw the excited light in the boy's widened eyes. He knew why he was crying, so he didn't need to ask any more. Fang Tiesheng didn't want to cry, but it was out of control - there are too many parts in the human body that are completely out of the control of the brain, and he didn't wipe away his tears, but when Gan Tiesheng stretched out his hand, naturally, put his hand The hand was handed over to Gan Tiesheng. Fang Tiesheng's hands were actually bigger than Gan Tiesheng's, almost full of bones, thick and hard, and his two hands immediately clasped tightly together. There was not much difference between these two hands in later years, but at this time, one pair belonged to a young and promising officer, while the other pair belonged to a wandering boy without father or mother. But anyone who saw these two hands clasped together at that time would not doubt their feelings, and would believe that nothing else could be inserted between these two hands. Gan Tiesheng spoke first: "Your name is Tiesheng? The iron of steel, the life of life?" Fang Tiesheng wanted to answer, but something stopped in his throat, and he could only make some strange and meaningless sounds. He immediately nodded vigorously, expressing an affirmative answer. Gan Tiesheng laughed and nodded vigorously: "My name is also Tiesheng, which is the same as yours." Gan Tiesheng said again: "My surname is Gan, what about you?" It was only then that Fang Tiesheng burst out a word: "Fang." Gan Tiesheng himself didn't know why, he just felt infinitely happy in his heart. He looked at the boy, pressed his hand hard, and asked, "How old are you? Are you fifteen?" Fang Tiesheng took a breath: "Twelve." Bai Su suddenly asked me: "How is it?" I replied: "Very good, very attractive, but there are many places that are too wordy, too...delicate, perhaps because of female writers?" When Bai Su and I were talking like this, we were reading a novel together. The title of the novel is "Betrayal", which is the same as my story - in fact, if there is no novel titled "Betrayal", There will never be my story titled "betrayal", which must be explained, but I am by no means plagiarism, it is just a novel story, all of which revolve around the human behavior of betrayal. The behavior of betrayal, except for humans, probably does not exist in other creatures. It is a kind of human behavior that is worth studying, because it happens constantly at any time, any place, and between people in any relationship. .
