chaotic world

The phone rang.

Ever since Zhou Lan came to live, he had never heard Tang Junquan's phone ring. The two of them stopped at the same time and did not make a sound.

After the bell rang twice, there was silence. Tang Junquan put on a padded jacket and ran to the outer room, quietly resting his hand on the microphone and waiting.

The bell rang again.

Du Yunfeng got the news that the security team had encountered people from the Black Eagle Village in the deep mountains, and they were fighting fiercely. He was asking the security team headquarters to send someone to support them.

In the depths of Black Eagle Mountain, a group of people marched in the dark, without torches, and could only rely on the faint moonlight to meander along the mountain road, like a snake that was winding forward.

Like everyone else, Zhou Lan was riding a horse, dressed in simple black clothes and coarse cloth, his face was also covered with a black cloth, and under his long eyelashes, his vigilant eyes flickered.He held a Browning tightly in his hand, which was stuffed into his hand by Tang Junquan before he set off. It could hold seven bullets. Compared with a revolver, this gun had a longer range and was more powerful. "You are inexperienced, stay away from the fight and don't move forward." Tang Junquan patted his shoulder and explained.

Although Tang Junquan was the head of the regiment, his secret resistance against Japan almost exhausted his team. The entire Northeast Army withdrew from the territory of Manchuria, and it was very difficult for the guerrilla organization to supply ammunition, personnel, and supplies. The Allied Army was basically on the sidelines Looking at the books, the point where I can figure out a way to resist Japan.

In order to prevent being blamed, his guerrilla organization did not gather in one place. Last night, he used the "two rings and one hang up" phone code to contact the staff, and a team of more than [-] people set off at dawn.

It was already dark in the mountains.

They were approaching Du Yunfeng's location and wanted to get him out before the security team's support team arrived.

In early spring, when the moon is full and the night is full, there are mournful wolves howling in the deep mountains from time to time, one after another, penetrating the valley and piercing the eardrums. The undulating echoes make people unable to distinguish the distance.

Tang Junquan's team was well-trained, and they drove quietly, with only the even and eager sound of hooves.

The last time he encountered a pack of wolves, Zhou Lan still remembered, not only remembered, but he would never forget it. He grabbed the reins—he was not afraid today. There were many people, many guns, and bundles of unlit torches. Worry.

Suddenly there was a gunshot in the distance, and then, like setting off firecrackers, the gunshots became more and more intense.

"The voice is on the other side of the mountain, don't get too close, check the situation before you go!" Tang Junquan turned around and waved to the team behind him, lowered his horse, and ran in that direction as far as possible to find a flat boundary.

Zhou Lan beside him galloped out like an arrow, and without waiting for Tang Junquan to stop him, he raised his whip and rushed forward at a running speed in broad daylight.

In a dense forest, Du Yunfeng was shooting condescendingly. He was halfway up the mountain, and below was the security team that had been chasing him for two days.

"There aren't many bullets, don't rush around, I'll fucking spot them and shoot them!" He howled, pulling his shoulder sorely, blood seeping from the inside out, exhausted, the gunshot wound has never healed , The shell in his hand has a strong recoil, and every time a bullet is fired, it pokes his shoulder hard.

Because he had been stared at by the security team all the time, he couldn't lead the team out of the mountain. He wandered around the valley for more than two months, and went to grab other hills when he had nothing to eat or drink.It's not easy for a dog to snatch food. When there are many others, he can beat them down with all his might. After a long time, he has lost too much. The whereabouts were exposed immediately, and the security team followed up like locusts seeing blood.

The few guns in his hand were snatched back from the last encounter with the security team, and almost half of the troops in Black Eagle Mountain were lost. He was also shot in the body, and his shoulder was almost crippled.

If the horse is killed, if the meat is eaten, the meat is eaten, and he is about to eat people.

With a gun in hand, you can kill with bullets.The gun in Hei Si'er's hand had just run out of bullets and turned into scrap iron that was not as useful as a wooden stick.

Du Yunfeng didn't have many bullets.

The loyal twenty or so people in his hands didn't run away, escaped or surrendered, and they were unambiguously wounded.

He knew that these brothers were loyal enough, even if these people ran to sell him for his life now, he could understand that it was enough to be kind and righteous.

"Let's go separately, the chance of survival is great, brothers take care of themselves, if you don't die, you will see God." Du Yunfeng gave an order.

Hei Si'ermao ran to Du Yunfeng's side with his waist down, and a big thick tree in front of him blocked the colorful flying bullets. "Brother, I'll tell you, your arm is failing."

"Fuck you, you don't have a single bullet, you can roll as far as you can, I have a gun, get out!" Du Yunfeng stretched out one foot, and kicked Hei Si'er's ass hard, looking like he wanted to collapse changed his appearance.

Hei Si'er got up with a grunt, and shouted: "Brother!"

"roll!"

The team seemed to have blossomed, scattered and fled in all directions, and a large area was launched. Except for the direction of the security team, no one went, and there were all directions.

"Catch Madman Du for me!" The chief of the security regiment crouched at the end of the team and shouted, the king is the first to capture the thief, a few dead bandits are worthless, but the head of the bandit leader Du Yunfeng is worth some money, rich families are afraid of paying money Once you get rid of the black eagle mountain group, as long as Du Maniac is around, this group can be pulled up at any time.

Du Yunfeng has no intention of fighting, he has neither grudges nor grudges with the security team, he cannot commit a deadly fight, he kills and steals goods to survive, and the security team kills him to make a living, the law of nature reincarnates, this is the way of the world.

Holding the shell gun in his good hand, he turned around and ran up the mountain.

The night was too dark, everyone's backs were very similar, and it was impossible to tell which one was Du Yunfeng. The security team was divided into several groups to chase, and the junior officer led seven or eight people in pursuit all the way, getting closer and closer, and they were rushed up.

The mountain road is not steep, but there are many trees, and bullets are constantly flying behind him, hitting the trees on the ground.

Du Yunfeng would stop behind a thick tree from time to time and shoot with a pistol. He used to be good at marksmanship, but his arms became more and more strenuous, and he could even feel the blood dripping in his clothes, flowing down his shoulders and chest to his waist .

The pistol was very long, and the wooden butt was about to shatter his shoulder bones, and the gun was not balanced anyway. He didn't care about these, he just fired one or two shots to delay the time, and then turned around and ran up the hill.

He thought that maybe he could escape this disaster by finding a hidden place after crossing the mountain.

The hill was not far away, but the bullets were gone.

Throwing away the scrap iron, he drew out the dagger in his waist and ran like crazy.

When the people behind him saw that he had dropped the gun, their confidence increased greatly. Seven or eight people could easily catch one person. Without a gun in their hands, no matter how fast they ran, they would be waiting to die.

The last time I was full was two days ago. Du Yunfeng didn't feel hungry, but he felt more and more short of breath from running uphill.

With a pain in his leg, he staggered and fell out. The people behind him approached instantly. Du Yunfeng turned his head and could almost see the black barrels of the guns clearly.

He couldn't go up to the top of the mountain, he clenched his dagger tightly and looked back viciously.

Several gun barrels approached him, focusing on him, pointing at him from different angles.

"Crazy Du, put down the knife and leave your whole body." The little officer hiding behind the team shouted, grabbing the side soldiers to block in front of him as he shouted, as if what Du Yunfeng was holding was not a knife, but a knife that could be used at any time. A gun that shoots bullets.

"Don't shoot, I surrender." Du Yunfeng shouted loudly, clenching the knife in his hand even tighter.

He was lying on the hillside, facing the security team, and his back was facing the top of the mountain,

There was constant gunfire around, and it was the scattered members of the security team who were chasing down the escaped bandits.

Suddenly there was a gunshot, Du Yunfeng shrank his neck instinctively, a bullet shot from behind him, seeing the soldier in front of him being shot, he fell down without saying a word.

Du Yunfeng quickly lay down on the ground, and looking back, he saw a white horse jumping up to the top of the mountain, and a masked man dressed in black seemed to jump out of the ground, appearing in the air, with a faint spark in his hand, the second bullet had already shot out.

The security team was walking in the open area just now and was caught off guard. The remaining three or four people hurriedly lay down and looked around for cover.

"Hit me, what are you climbing?" The little officer yelled while kneeling on the ground.

The man in black got off his horse and hid behind a tree, and fired a box of bullets consecutively. The security team hid behind the tree and started to fight back.The man in black quickly changed the magazine, and by virtue of the condescending terrain, beat him to death.

Du Yunfeng didn't know who it was, but he clearly saw that it was to save him, so he turned his head and climbed up.

The spear skills of the men in black were not very good, but it slowed down the security team's climb up.

The bullets hit each other, and Du Yunfeng came to the tree where the man in black was, and crawled and hid behind the tree.

"Who are you?" Du Yunfeng asked.

Without any reply, the man in black pointed at the horse with another finger.

The three members of the security team moved up slowly, constantly approaching.

With a glance, Du Yunfeng saw the gun in the waist of the man in black, so he stretched out his hand and pulled it out, rolled and hid under another tree, sent out six bullets, and killed two soldiers.

Only the officer was left hiding behind the tree, gasping for breath. He was holding a gun tightly in his hand, and he was out of bullets.

Looking left and right, he wanted to pick up the nearest gun, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the bullet hit his hand, and he retracted his hand in fright.

When he was about to reach out again, a black Browning pressed against his forehead, and he raised his eyes in fear: "Don't kill—"

Gunshots.

Du Yunfeng clutched his shoulders and clenched his teeth. After the thin man in black smashed the man's head, he raised his legs and walked towards him.

Sitting under the tree, Du Yunfeng tried to raise his arms, his eyes glanced at the gun in his hand, the situation was critical just now, he only knew that what he pulled out was a gun, now he suddenly realized that it was a revolver.

He raised his head suddenly, and just opened his mouth when his eyes suddenly went dark.

Zhou Lan knocked him out, and then put him on the horse with all his strength.

Before the arrival of the large security team, Tang Junquan's small team broke up the small security team and rescued Du Yunfeng and the injured.

When Du Yunfeng woke up again, it was dawn and the horse was bumping on the mountain road, he struggled subconsciously.

"Brother Du, your collarbone is injured, don't move around." Tang Junquan turned his head slightly, and Du Yunfeng was lying on his back.

Du Yunfeng looked down and found that he was tied up with two pieces of clothes, tied together with Tang Junquan, with a black strip of cloth on his shoulder.

"Head Tang" looked at Tang Junquan's profile in the twilight of the morning light, then reached out and touched the black cloth on his shoulder: "You saved me?"

Tang Junquan hesitated for a moment, gave him an affirmative answer, and told Du Yunfeng that he passed by here on a mission without asking any questions, and when he saw that it was Du Yunfeng, he rescued him.

Du Yunfeng's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he returned to normal. He didn't say anything, he just turned his head and looked back, and carefully looked at the 20 people behind him. Some of them took off their face coverings, and some still wore them. The amount is nothing like the person from last night.

Last night that person's stature was not the same as Tang Junquan's. If he ran for his life again, he was not so flustered that he couldn't remember who he was. The figure of that person was very familiar.But besides Tang Junquan, he didn't know anyone in the anti-union team.

He stretched out his arms around Tang Junquan's waist. The other person's figure was about the same as his own, but a little bigger.

After tossing and turning, Tang's men and horses still went their own way and scattered, and on the road, each of them was prepared and went quietly to the west and east.

In the small courtyard, with Tang Junquan's help, Du Yunfeng jumped off the horse with one leg, the other leg curled up, unable to land, and unable to lift one arm, the whole body twisted into an asymmetrical shape.

Tang Junquan raised his good arm and put it on his shoulder: "Brother Du, I will help you walk." Du Yunfeng cooperated obediently, hopping on one foot and crossing the yard with him.

"Thank you." Du Yunfeng limped and jumped a few steps, then laughed without warning, and twisted his waist while laughing: "Teacher Tang, don't, don't touch my waist, I'm itchy, haha"

Ever since Tang Junquan saw Du Yunfeng for the first time, he felt that this young man was a bit gangster. He was different from Zhou Lan. Practical idea, a little quack air, bold, but not easy to deal with.

Tang Junquan lied on Zhou Lan's behalf, feeling a little cramped in his heart, he didn't know what to say to distract Du Yunfeng's attention.Du Yunfeng laughed like this, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

After hugging and dragging, he got the big Du Yunfeng into the main room.

The room was still the same as it was when they set off. Tang Junquan and Zhou Lan started to prepare to leave when they received the call. The two pillows on the bed were still the same, the two quilts were kicked together in a mess, and Zhou Lan's clothes were thrown on the chair indiscriminately. The suit jacket was put on the coat rack——for the convenience of going into the mountain, Zhou Lan temporarily wore a bunt set.

Tang Junquan carried Du Yunfeng on his shoulders and sat on the wooden chair in the room. Du Yunfeng picked up the pajamas with one finger, and looked at him from a distance: "There is someone at Mr. Tang's house, I'm sorry." Tang Junquan casually took the pajamas, Rolling the scroll in his hand, he opened the closet and stuffed it in: "You're welcome, a big nephew came to play in Fengtian a few days ago, he stayed with me for a few days, and he's already gone." While talking, he had already closed the closet, and turned to Du Yunfeng. Said: "You wait, I'll boil the water."

Du Yunfeng nodded: "OK."

Tang Junquan walked out of the room in a few steps, and the sound of scooping water from the kitchen came from the kitchen.

Du Yunfeng sat quietly on the stool, he didn't move, he just looked at the clothes on the coat rack, the clothes had to be worn by a thin body, and his stature was a little shorter, the bed was a mess, Du Yunfeng thought about this The person surnamed Tang only met him once, and although he saved his life, he didn't have a close relationship with him, so he didn't know him well, so he might as well just say that - he knew that there was something wrong with his intimate relationship with Xiao Mu'an back then.

But this is a place where he likes to be with whoever he likes, regardless of his own affairs.

Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look out of the window. Through the old-fashioned wooden panes, outside was the courtyard he had just passed, which was simple and tidy. A ginkgo tree turned yellow in spring and was holding back buds.

In the kitchen, Tang Junquan was burning a large pot of hot water, and by the way, set up a small pot on the small stove, poured a handful of rice into it to cook porridge.The water was sizzling, and he had nothing to do, pulled a bench and sat down, filling a handful of firewood into the stove from time to time.

He didn't want to go back to the main room. He always felt that Du Yunfeng might know that Zhou Lan saved him. Just now, on the horse, Du Yunfeng asked a simple question, and he answered without changing his face. Although neither party was talking, he always felt that Du Yunfeng If he asked one more question, he would be more at ease in his heart, but the other party just didn't ask.

He didn't know what was going on between Du Yunfeng and Zhou Lan. Zhou Lan refused to say, but just handed over the unconscious man to him, and sincerely asked Father Tang to take care of his brother, but don't say he saved him, and don't mention anything about him. anything.

Zhou Lan went back to live in the Dingchang Hotel, and when he left, he gave thousands of warnings.

Tang Junquan didn't have to know about the unspeakable grievances between the two. In his eyes, if these two children don't go astray, one is educated and the other is bloody. If they fight well, they will be rare talents. .

The anti-union team is short of people, and it lacks new faces. It would be the best if they could get the two of them, or even the bandits from Black Eagle Mountain, to join the organization.

A few days ago, he talked with Zhou Lan about this matter, but the other party was noncommittal and had a vague attitude.

"Brother Zhou, when the country is in danger and the nation is in danger, you and I both have the obligation to save the country and the people. If you trust me, follow me, and your blood will not be in vain."

Zhou Lan was playing with a ginkgo leaf in his hand, twisting the leaf stem back and forth in his hand, without raising his head, but his tone was not casual: "Father Tang, I have no interest in fighting against Japan. I still want to study abroad if I have the opportunity." Then He lifted the leaf and blew it to his mouth, and said with a childish smile: "Father, don't fight against Japan, I will take you abroad. You see, you used to be in France. It's better than foreign countries." I know."

Tang Junquan did not agree with Zhou Lan's argument, so he talked about a lot of national righteousness, moving it with emotion and understanding it with reason, Zhou Lan tried to listen carefully like a good boy, and listened to it How much, Tang Junquan didn't know, because the other party kept interrupting, either saying that he had a fever, or that he was addicted to cigarettes. Father, head, quickly help me get the big bong.

"You have to quit smoking." Tang Junquan said this countless times.

"Quit in the future, don't worry." He said this every time he smoked a pipe.

The water boiled in the pot, Tang Junquan came back to his senses, took the copper basin and scalded it with boiling water, and then returned to the main room with a basin of boiling water.

After some scrubbing, a clean Du Yunfeng appeared. The gunshot wound on his calf was not serious. The bullet did not touch the bone and flew out through the flesh. The treatment was delayed for too long, the wound festered and rotted, and the entire right arm swelled up. Tang Junquan had seen this kind of injury in the rain of bullets and knew how uncomfortable it was to drag.

"It's not safe to go to the hospital, but there is no anesthetic at home, and you can't buy it on the black market," Tang Junquan lit the alcohol lamp, and roasted the thin scalpel back and forth.

Du Yunfeng turned his head to look at the small knife. It was sharp enough and fast enough. He sat shirtless on the master's chair, turned his head and straightened his body: "It's okay, just keep your hands steady."

When the knife cut the flesh, black blood came out. Du Yunfeng stared at the blade walking in and out without blinking. He let out a sigh of relief.

After sprinkling the wound medicine, Tang Junquan stretched several bandages vertically and horizontally across the opponent's armpits, shoulders and chest, made a clean bandage, then found the anti-inflammatory medicine from the standing medicine bag, and handed it to Du Yunfeng in double dose.

He handed the medicine to the opponent's mouth, Du Yunfeng saw sweat on his forehead, stretched out his other arm and squeezed out the pill from the opponent's palm.

Tang Junquan turned to pour water, and when he looked back, he saw Du Yunfeng swallowed it with his head raised. He quickly took the enamel jar: "The water is too hot, it's not cold yet!"

Du Yunfeng turned his head in surprise: "I swallowed it." He didn't intend to drink water at first.

Tang Junquan thought that Du Yunfeng was a very bloody young man, but it was a pity that he entered the wrong profession.

In the spring when the heating is cut off, it turns warm and cold.

Dingchang Hotel, Chinese-style suite, thick purple velvet curtains block the windows, the room is very dark, there is only an inadvertent gap between the two curtains, it is the slightest gap that allows the bright sun at noon to break through without any scruples It came in, like a white light knife splitting the darkness in the room in half.

Zhou Lan didn't bother to close the curtains, half lying on the side of the bed, wearing a blue satin waistcoat over a white shirt, with two buttons on the neckline unbuttoned, and two slender legs wearing black trousers. He didn't take off his leather shoes, revealing a section of black Pile of cotton socks.

Half leaning on the purple silk embroidered pillow, he folded one hand behind his head and the other on the side of the bed, with a cigarette between his fingers, and occasionally put it on his lips to take a puff, quietly lowered his arms, and stood by the blue glass ashtray on the bedside table, Lightly dust with index finger.

A pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray.

It has been half a month since I came out of Black Eagle Mountain. Zhou Lan called Tang Junquan's home once. At that time, Tang Junquan was talking to friends in the organization. "Okay," so I didn't say any more, and Zhou Lan didn't ask any more.

If Du Yunfeng is almost recovered, based on Zhou Lan's understanding of him, he will not stay in the Tang family for a long time, and he will definitely leave as soon as possible. As for where to go, Zhou Lan's heart pauses - it should have nothing to do with him related.

Although the two were cleared at the beginning, Zhou Lan thought about it, and saving his life was really what he should do. At the beginning, Du Yunfeng saved himself more than once. Cleared up.

When her finger was hot, Zhou Lan paused her thinking, extinguished the short cigarette butt on the blue glass, looked at her finger carefully, stroked the burned middle finger with her thumb, put it on her lips, and licked it lightly. The pain disappeared quickly.

Zhou Lan never agreed to Tang Junquan's proposal, and he laughed and didn't answer directly, but he had thought it over in his heart.

Now he has only a few ways to go, first to go abroad, second to Tianjin, and third to go north with Tang Junquan to Heilongjiang to fight against the Japanese underground.He is not interested in fighting against Japan, but the first road and the second road are not big roads. During the few months in Tianjin last year, it was equivalent to, or even worse than, jail. At least he can sleep well at night. He was sentenced The sentence is indefinite, cannot be commuted, cannot be released on bail, and serves day and night.
