Chapter 4 Brothers (8)

Looking at the soft shed car rolling away with snow and smoke, Zhao Tianlong's face faintly felt a little sad. He was not among the people who were temporarily asked to attend the meeting. He, a lone hero who was once famous on the grassland, is now even less than half a year ago.

"Look for time to talk to Siqin." Zhang Songling could feel the loss in Zhao Tianlong's heart, and walked forward, deliberately looking for another topic to distinguish his god. "At the latest tomorrow morning, we will have to go back. If you don't say goodbye to her, she will definitely be angry."

"She doesn't know." Zhao Tianlong shook his head and pretended to be indifferent. However, within a few minutes, he used the excuse to change the horseshoe for Huang Feima, turned around and left the yard, and changed until it was completely dark, and then walked back to the dormitory with a happy face.

"I've taken the reassurance pill." As soon as Zhang Songling saw the appearance of his good friend, he knew that his thoughts had been completely resolved. He walked forward and joked with a smile.

"Hehe, hehe." Zhao Tianlong nodded with a red face, and then quickly changed the topic, "Where is Lao Lu and the others? Are you back? What does General Fu Zuoyi say?"

"I'll be back a long time ago. If it weren't for waiting for you, we would have been on the way back tonight." Zhou Heichang also rushed in from outside the door, twitching his nose and smelling it left and right on Zhao Tianlong, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's this smell? It's so strange. Why have I never smelled it before?"

"Get out." Zhao Tianlong's face became more and more rosy, as if blood was about to seep out from under his dark skin. "If you want to leave, just leave. Who needs you to wait,"

"That's not possible. If you are thrown away, if someone comes to find your husband in the future, what can we pay for them?" After finally gaining the upper hand in the mouth with Zhao Tianlong, Zhou Heichang would not let go easily. He grabbed one of the other's arms and continued to sniff like a wild dog looking for food. "Fatty, come here and smell it too, it's really weird."

"You" Zhao Tianlong didn't have the courage to get entangled with him, and tried his best to pull his arm back, "Don't talk nonsense, what else can I smell like? Who is like you? These days, except hunting, has been all tired of women in the pile of women."

"Ha, I'm right, it's the smell of women." Zhou Heichang immediately jumped up and digged hard to follow the flaws in Zhao Tianlong's words, "No wonder I think it's so strange, say, where have you gone."

"Shut up, let's talk, don't blame me for beating you." Zhao Tianlong was completely guilty and threatened fiercely with his fist.

Zhou Heikang hid behind Zhang Songling with his head in his arms. While hiding, he shouted for help: "Help, help! Zhao Tianlong is going to kill someone to silence him, Zhao Tianlong is going to kill someone to silence him."

"Okay, okay, okay." Zhang Songling stretched out his arms to stop Zhao Tianlong, who was already on the verge of riot, and then pulled out the proud Zhou Heicang from behind with his back. "Stop making trouble, I have to rush to the road tomorrow morning. Have you eaten? If you don't eat, I'll bake two steamed buns on the stove for you."

"I've eaten it." Zhao Tianlong lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhang Songlin's eyes. "You have eaten it too. There is something to do on Siqin to ask me to help, so, so I'm a little late when I come back."

"We are all hungry. Captain Lu doesn't let everyone eat and says he must wait for you to come back first." Zhou Heicang hid behind Zhang Songling and made faces at Zhao Tianlongmeng.

"Don't listen to him, we've all eaten it." Zhang Songling interrupted with a smile, "The dry food is ready, including yours."

"Oh." Zhao Tianlong nodded gratefully, "That means that General Fu Zuoyi agreed to our previous plan."

"I didn't agree completely. Let Heizi tell you that the meeting he held with Lao Lu had first-hand information." Zhang Songling thought for a while and handed over the work of introducing the content of the meeting to Zhou Heichang.

Zhou Heichang immediately became proud, raised his head and whispered, "Yeah, that's it?"

"I'll go and ask Lao Lu later." Zhao Tianlong didn't want to give him a chance to show off, so he walked out of the house. When Zhou Heicang saw it, he quickly got up and blocked the door of the house. "Okay, don't bother Lao Lu. He is old and probably has already gone to bed. Let me tell you briefly. General Fu Zuoyi felt that the fat man's previous method was very creative. He also wanted to launch a battle to respond to the southern battlefield, so he set the main target of this operation to Baotou. Tomorrow morning, the Jinsui Army will set off with us and give the Japanese a look first."

"Oh,,." ​​Zhao Tianlong blinked his eyes, a little confused. He was the proposal of Zhang Songling that affected General Fu Zuoyi's decision, or the Jinsui Army had already been preparing to teach the Japanese a lesson, so he accepted Zhang Songling's proposal with the flow. However, no matter what, the purpose of asking Fu Zuoyi to send troops to mix the water on the grassland was achieved. After the battle was launched, Zhou Heichang's independent battalion successfully changed from an object that the Japanese would inevitably cut off into an insignificant secondary target. The hope of safely breaking out of the siege increased greatly, and it was possible that he could even get rid of the joint pursuit of the Japanese and the puppet army without any injury.

"In addition, General Fu Zuoyi will also send a division of troops to intimidate Li Shouxin, and then specially draw a cavalry regiment from the 211th Brigade to move eastwards and put pressure on the Japanese devils in the Chahar area." Zhou Heichang was obviously in an excited state. His arms kept dancing up and down while talking. "If the Japanese devils who attacked Heishi Village refused to stop when they were right, the cavalry regiment would directly press on, work with my independent battalion inside and outside to completely eliminate these bastards."

"Yes." Zhao Tianlong hid a little later, so as not to be accidentally spitting out a saliva by Zhou Heichang. "Can Lao Jiu guard for so long? I mean, I will persist until the cavalry regiment arrives. It will be more than 700 miles away. Even if the cavalry regiment is not stingy with war horses marching day and night, it will take three or four days."

"The city walls of Heishi Village are all stones." Zhou Heichang thought for a while, and his voice lowered slightly. "If the Japanese brought not many cannons, they would probably not be able to break the city in a while. But in this case, the casualties of Lao Jiu and the others would probably be huge. However, if they could get the life of the entire squadron of Japanese devils, Lao Jiu and the others would be worth it."

"Captain Lu has contacted Captain Wang by telegram through the liaison office of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyuan City. Captain Wang said that he would lead his troops to attack the Japanese's reclaiming sites soon. If the Japanese don't want the reclaiming sites they have worked hard to uproot, they must divide their troops from the Heishi Village to rescue them." Zhang Songling thought for a while and added in a low voice.

The entire action plan, including the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, was similar to his idea in the afternoon, which made him feel very accomplished, so he didn't mind taking out his joy to share with his good friends.

A little bit of admiration immediately surged on Zhao Tianlong's face. He looked at Zhang Songling up and down, and praised loudly, "It's really OK, you, not only General Fu Zuoyi accepted your suggestion, but even our Hong Master has a good understanding of you."

"Captain Wang has never been able to do business that is inconsistent with the strength of our guerrillas." Zhang Songling waved his hand and did not dare to be greedy for me. "My previous idea was also proposed based on the current strength of our guerrillas. Captain Wang knows these more than me, and of course he will not lead troops to fight against the Japanese devils recklessly."

"That's why you're just turning your mind." Zhao Tianlong commented with a smile, and did not forget to hit Zhou Heicang. "Unlike some people, they only know how to cry when they are anxious."

"Aren't I worried about it?" Zhou Heicang was exposed in person and immediately blushed and defended loudly, "After all, those who were blocked in the city were all brothers from our Black Wolf Gang."

"Now, why are you not in a hurry now?" Zhao Tianlong curled his lips and continued to speak coldly.

"Now I have tried my best to find a way." Zhou Heicang defended with a hard neck, "Besides, you have said that it's useless to be anxious. If you have that skill, it's better to think about how to avenge your brothers in the future."

"I think it's Fu Zuoyi who promised you something else." Zhao Tianlongxin ridiculed him because of his many years of understanding of Zhou Heicang.

"No, no." Zhou Heicang denied loudly, but the awkward expression on his face revealed his guilt at this time.

Zhao Tianlong and Zhang Songling turned to him in one go, staring at his eyes and curled their lips and sneered. The two of them were forced to retreat. Zhou Heicang struggled for a moment and admitted in frustration, "Okay, General Fu Zuoyi did agree to replenish the arms of a battalion for me, but that was also something that would happen after I recruited the team to a battalion. There was no necessary connection with this battle."

"You boy." Zhao Tianlong and Zhang Songling shook their heads together. In addition to ridicule, they also brought a bit of envy. Youdao is to rely on a big tree to enjoy the cool air. Zhou Heichang accepted the adaptation of the Jinsui Army. It seems that he has gone the right way at the moment. At least, Fu Zuoyi is a responsible person and will not let his independent camp die in vain.

"Don't look at me like this. Your guerrillas have gained a lot of benefits. General Fu personally agreed at the meeting that when the spring of next year, he would specially transport a batch of supplies to Chahar to support the construction of local anti-Japanese armed forces." Zhou Heicang refused to take on the strikes of the two people alone and spoke loudly.

The three brothers laughed and quickly finished the exchange of their own grasps. They slept steadily that night to nourish their spirits. The next day, they got up early and had a farewell meal. With the farewell of several grassroots cadres from the Jinsui Army, they led the team out of Wuyuan City.

Not far from the city gate, he saw several horses parked next to the road leading to the east. On the horse's back, Siqin and two personal maids waved to everyone with a smile.

"Why don't you go there quickly." Zhou Heicang pushed Zhao Tianlong hard and shouted in a slight manner, "If you have any words to say slowly, don't worry, we're going slowly, no matter how you delay, you can catch up."

Siqin's face was flushed with shouting, and immediately hit the stirrup hard, waved her whip and rushed up, whipping at Zhou Heichang's shoulder, "Damn it, we two say how long it will be your business. If you have the will, don't ask for your wife in this life, just be a bachelor. At that time, we will laugh as much as you can."

"Oh, oh." Zhou Heichang was beaten to beg for mercy. "It's amazing. Before getting married, I have protected my husband. If I get married, who will go to Brother Long's house in the future? No joke is too fierce, and I will be able to beat a whip."

"Bah, I don't slap you, I'll slap you in a special way, I'll slap you once and once." Siqin blushed and spat, put down her whip, turned her head to Zhao Tianlong, "Brother Long, come here, I have something to tell you."

"If you have something to say, just say it here." Zhao Tianlong also blushed and responded indifferently, but his hands and feet betrayed him, and he moved his mount uncontrollably and followed Siqin's side.

Amid the kind laughter of everyone, Siqin led him slowly away from the avenue, turned a few lonely willows, and saw that they were far away from everyone, then jumped off their mounts and whispered: "You must be careful when you go back this time. I know you are a hero, so I don't hold you back. But when fighting with the Japanese, you must take good care of yourself, don't be as serious as before. Your life is not yours, and there is a share of mine."

"I know, I don't just fight with people casually." Zhao Tianlong also jumped off his mount and responded in a low voice, "Be careful when you go to Chongqing. I heard from the little fat man that those officials are very scheming. When you see that you have value, they hold you like holding the moon. But once you offend them accidentally, they will try every means to kill you. Back then, the leader of the group where the little fat man was in was killed in the hands of this group. Don't be fooled by them."

"I can, don't worry." Siqin nodded slightly and looked at Zhao Tianlong with her eyes as if she were two spring streams. "I can feel who is really good to me and who is trying to use me. If it weren't for the family business left by my father, I wouldn't have considered going to Chongqing at all, but since I went there, I would have to get a result before coming back."

"That's natural." Zhao Tianlong nodded in understanding, "If I were you, I would have to go back to Chongqing. The people of Dewang and others will not be able to last for a long time. The Japanese will do bad things on the grassland and will definitely not be able to become great."

"It's good that you can understand my choice." Siqin smiled and continued, "I've been a little worried these days, worried that you think I've changed and gradually become alienated from me, but there are outsiders around me, and I don't know how to explain it to you."

Zhao Tianlong felt embarrassed and waved his hand hard, "No need to explain, no need to explain, I understand you, I really understand you."

Siqin shook her head, and the smile on her face became gentler, "Brother Long, don't interrupt, listen to me slowly, since your master took you away, I thought, when I grew up, I must find you back. Later, I met you on the grassland, but you refused to recognize me. You don't know how sad I was at that time, but even so, I still believe that you are not really dislike me. You will appear in front of me one day when I need it most."

"Me, me" Zhao Tianlong's eyes heated up and his chest was immediately filled with gentleness, "I, I really didn't mean to hurt you at that time, I, I just,,,,,,,,,,,,,"

"I know, I know." Siqin leaned over and covered Zhao Tianlong's mouth with her fingers. "You don't need to explain, I know, but Brother Long, you should also know that I, this person, my heart, is yours. No matter you are poor or wealthy, no matter where you go, it will not change. I know that these days have made you very hard and tired, but I believe that the two of us will not be able to overcome such a slight difficulty."

"Me, me" Zhao Tianlong was ashamed and moved, blushing and didn't know what to say. Siqin suddenly opened her arms, hugged him tightly, and pressed her face to his chest. "If you need it, I can take out my heart and show you. There is no longer anything there except you."

"Me, so do I." Feeling the warmth from the chest, Zhao Tianlong's heart was ups and downs, "Girl, don't worry, although I occasionally make trouble for myself and cause trouble for myself, I hope you will live a good life, even if I sacrifice my life for you, I, too."

"No, no, I don't want you to sacrifice your life for the sake of your life, nor do you want you to suffer any grievances for me." Siqin hugged Zhao Tianlong with force, as if he let go, the other party would grow wings and fly away. "I want you to accompany me for the rest of my life, from now until I am eighty or one hundred years old. When we both get old one day, we will find a huge coffin to bury it together. The Chinese people say that life is the same as the same bed and death is the same coffin. In my heart, that is to say, "I am and you."

"I think so too." Zhao Tianlong nodded solemnly, holding Siqin in both hands, as if holding a priceless treasure. From now on, the two of them didn't want to talk anymore. They just hugged each other tightly, quietly feeling each other's heartbeats, feeling the heat waves in their blood together, one after another, one after another, one after another, with the same temperature and the same rhythm, slowly rushing to the horizon, filling the entire world inside and outside the body.

I don’t know how long it took, a cramped voice came from my ears again, awakening the two of them from their lingering feelings, “Kiss her, kiss her, Brother Long, if you don’t dare to kiss him today, you are a waste.” For fear that the world will not be in chaos, Zhou Heichang shouted and clapped his hands hard.

"Kiss her, kiss her, Brother Long, oh." The brothers of the Independence Camp followed their chiefs and cheered. Siqin's two maids were angry, and they beat them around with horse whips, but were laughed away by everyone, and continued to watch the fun around Siqin and Zhao Tianlong.

Suddenly, all the laughter was stuck in his throat. In the narrow eyes of everyone, Siqin resolutely raised her head and raised her two red lips like flames.
