What a beautiful white lotus

Gu Xiuge didn't shoot the two "deserters" and didn't even lock them up for three days, because they broke out early the next morning and continued marching.This team was beaten to pieces in Anqing, and was ordered by Shangfeng to withdraw to Wuhan.When Ye Rongqiu heard that they were about to go to Wuhan, he felt relieved: in Wuhan, he might meet someone from the Zhou family to rescue them.

Last night, Ye Rongqiu hugged the black dog and cried and fell asleep after crying tired. After the black dog kissed the beautiful woman, he was not punched or kicked, his tense nerves relaxed, and he fell asleep after a while.After waking up in the morning, someone returned their pants and shoes, as well as some dry food and water. The bed they slept in last night was given to them, and they were asked to carry them on the road.

Gu Xiuge treated them well. They walked at the back of the team, and Gu Xiuge followed at the end to guard them personally.Ye Rongqiu and Heigou haven't spoken to each other since they hit the road, and they haven't even met each other's eyes: Ye Rongqiu's mouth is dry when he thinks of the last absurd thing, his legs are weak and his head is dizzy, how dare he look at Heigou?The black dog, on the other hand, looked very preoccupied, always absent-minded.

Gu Xiuge was in a good mood, he was still humming a little song when he just set off, and after a short walk, he inserted himself between Ye Rongqiu and the black dog, one arm wrapped around one, his posture was intimate, like good brothers who had known each other for more than ten years. "Hey, do you know what army we are?"

Ye Rongqiu frowned and struggled, threw his arm off his shoulder, and then took two steps back to the side.

Gu Xiuge looked him up and down, amused: "Oh, you are quite thin-skinned."

Ye Rongqiu wanted to scold him for being frivolous, but swallowed it again.

The black dog is very calm: "What army?"

Gu Xiuge patted him vigorously on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let me tell you, you guys are lucky! My army, the Ace Army! One of the best troops in China! How many people want to be transferred? I can't touch the door!"

Ye Rongqiu clearly showed a contemptuous expression, and swept this dilapidated team from beginning to end, no matter how you looked at it, it was a defeated army, and Gu Xiuge even had the nerve to call it the trump card army.

The black dog looked normal: "Oh?"

Gu Xiuge saw Ye Rongqiu's disgust, but he was not angry, and said cheerfully: "Do you think that only the Central Army is the trump card army?"

Ye Rongqiu had never seen the Central Army, but he also looked down upon it in his heart.He despises the entire Chinese army.As for Gu Xiuge's team, he was ashamed to call them the army.

Gu Xiuge was still smiling, but his eyes were sharp: "I tell you, only people like us can be called an army. The direct line troops of the central government cannot be called an army, they are called minions."

Both Heigou and Ye Rongqiu were taken aback, and looked at Gu Xiuge in disbelief.

Gu Xiuge regained his cheekiness, and warmly introduced to them: "Come on, come on, I won't tell you that you don't believe me, I will tell you why my team is the trump card army." He He shook his head, pointed at the gun carried by a soldier walking in front, and asked the black dog, "Do you know what kind of gun this is?"

The black dog shook his head.

Gu Xiuge said: "Made in Hanyang. It has a caliber of 88 mm and imitates the German Type [-] Mauser rifle. This is our most common rifle, and it was supposed to be used to unify the entire army. It's okay to use it."

The black dog carefully looked at the shape of the rifle and remembered it in his mind.

Gu Xiuge pointed to another soldier and said: "Count to three, the guy with the crooked helmet strap, did you see that? Do you know what kind of gun he is carrying?"

The black dog laughed and said, "Tuan Zuo, I don't know guns."

Gu Xiuge turned around and asked Ye Rongqiu: "Do you know each other?"

Ye Rongqiu shook his head.

Gu Xiuge said: "Seven-nine guns are the main equipment of the Germans. The German-made ones are called Type [-] Mauser rifles. The ones imitated by our Chinese factory are called Zhongguan. They are used to hit Japan. They go in with a wound as big as a grain of rice and come out The bowl is as big as a scar! I use this thing best, the German-made things are all good, and the American ones are also okay.”

The black dog carefully remembered the appearance of the gun.Even Ye Rongqiu began to compare the differences between the two guns curiously.

Gu Xiuge squinted his eyes and stretched his neck to look forward, and then pointed to several people: "The fifth one in the row on the left, that guy has two guns on his back, see it, the one on the left, take a look. "

The black dog said, "I see."

Gu Xiuge said: "Type [-] infantry gun, [-]mm caliber, we call it [-] Dagai. It's a Japanese thing. Guess how good this gun is?"

The black dog thought for a while and said, "The guns of the Japanese should be pretty good."

Gu Xiuge patted his thigh: "Okay! Of course! That's something made by the little devil! It's said that the little devil is powerful, that's not for bragging. This thing has a small recoil when hitting, so it's easy to control and aim. The speed is very high! The lock of the gun is very firm. I have used the gun for so many years, only the little devil’s stuff, and I have never seen it go off.” He touched his nose and laughed, “Take this There's nothing better than a gun for hunting, use it for war—no, it can't kill."

Ye Rongqiu finally couldn't help being curious and asked, "Why?"

Gu Xiuge said: "This gun went into a wound the size of a grain of rice, and when it came out, it was still a wound the size of a grain of rice. The person who was shot squeezed a piece of mud and blocked his front and back holes. Hey, he was fine, and continued to fight. Japanese, too Steady!"

Ye Rongqiu whispered: "Then why do they always win?"

Gu Xiuge ignored him, and picked out people from the team to continue introducing them. "Did you see that gun? It was also made in Japan, the Meiji 38-style rifle." "That, that, the [-]-style pistol." "And that, the bastard box, hehe, does it look like a hunchbacked bastard?"

In a short period of time, Gu Xiuge picked out more than a dozen different types of guns from his troops and introduced them to Heigou and Ye Rongqiu.After hearing it, both of them were confused, and couldn't remember so many messy models and performances for a while, so they could only listen to it.

At this time, chaos broke out in front of the team, and Guo Wu's loud yelling came into their ears.Gu Xiuge led the black dog and Ye Rongqiu forward, only to see Guo Wu and Liu Wen on the bar.

Guo Wu stared at Liu Wen, pointed at Liu Wen, and cursed: "Are you fucking blind? Didn't you see so many wounded here? You let them climb the mountain road? Why don't you throw a grenade and blow them to death?" ?”

Liu Wen's face was calm: "If you take a detour, you will run out of time. I don't want to bother you." He ordered loudly: "Go straight ahead! Over the mountain!" He ignored Guo Wu and walked forward.

Guo Wu was furious, took out his pistol, pointed at Liu Wen's head and cursed, "I'll fucking kill you!"

"Ouch!" Gu Xiuge exclaimed excitedly.Ye Rongqiu thought he was anxious when he saw a dispute among his subordinates, but Gu Xiuge slapped his thigh, pointed at the gun in Guo Wu's hand and shouted excitedly: "I almost missed this! It’s a 7.62mm pistol, let me tell you, it’s the best automatic pistol in the world, baby, it’s what officers and lords like to use the most, and it’s called twenty rings.”

The black dog nodded repeatedly, carefully looking at the well-polished pistol in Guo Wu's hand.Ye Rongqiu didn't bother to look at the gun, but looked at Gu Xiuge in amazement.Two of his subordinates have already drawn their guns at each other. Why is he still acting like a normal person when the trouble has reached this level?

More calm than Gu Xiuge is Liu Wen.He glanced at Guo Wu, hooked the corner of his mouth with a trace of sarcasm, stretched out his hand to push away the gun on his forehead, and continued walking forward.Guo Wu was annoyed by his ignoring attitude, and he raised his fist to beat him. At this time, Gu Xiuge shouted loudly: "It's alright! Let's rest for 5 minutes before going up the mountain! Let's support each other later and take care of yourself." Wounded!"

Guo Wu glanced at Gu Xiuge resentfully, and put away his fists.Liu Wen came over and looked at Gu Xiuge with a smile on his face: "Tuan Zuo."

Gu Xiuge waved his hand: "Okay, let's go, you and Guo Wu go to see the condition of the wounded."

Liu Wen saluted him, turned around and left, while Guo Wu was listless, deliberately walking in two directions with Liu Wen.

Gu Xiuge smiled and asked Heigou and Ye Rongqiu: "Did you see that? There are more than a dozen of us with more than a dozen guns. Can the Central Army have them? They may not have seen so many guns!"

The black dog shrugged his eyebrows: "It's an eye-opener." He didn't say anything, but he knew very well in his heart that the more complicated the equipment, the less it is a regular team.Uniformity and orderliness are very important elements of the army.

Ye Rongqiu was still immersed in the dispute that happened just now, staring at the pistol floating around Guo Wu's waist, thinking of the shot Guo Wu fired at himself yesterday, he still had lingering fear.He secretly scolded Guo Wu as a hammer, pointing a gun at people's heads means he is addicted.

Gu Xiuge patted Ye Rongqiu on the back vigorously: "Don't worry, Guo Wu's bastard is a fake one, bluffing people. His twenty rings was my treasure back then. In 27 years, the young marshal gave it to me personally. It was given to me. Later I didn’t want it anymore and lost it, Guo Wu couldn’t bear it, so I picked it up and it became his treasure.”

Ye Rongqiu asked: "Young commander?"

The black dog said, "Young Master Zhang?"

Gu Xiuge smiled and said, "Yes, Young Marshal Zhang."

Ye Rongqiu looked at him in surprise: "Are you from the Northeast?"

Gu Xiuge touched his chin: "Can't you see?"

The black dog said, "The accent is not heavy."

Gu Xiuge smiled lightly: "It's been ten years since I ran to the south. I almost forgot what pork stewed vermicelli tastes like."

Both Heigou and Ye Rongqiu were silent.The Northeast is the first territory that China lost, and the Japanese influence has been in the Northeast for nearly ten years.Marshal Zhang Zuolin, who was killed by the Japanese, and his son, Marshal Zhang Xueliang, are both legendary figures, but not heroes, because they lost the entire Northeast.However, the civil war was suspended for many years, and the national government was finally willing to open its mouth to declare war on Japan, but it was due to the indelible contribution of Zhang Shaoshuai, so Zhang Shaoshuai is still respected by people.

Ye Rongqiu's feelings towards Gu Xiuge suddenly became complicated, he didn't hate Gu Xiuge so much anymore.Maybe it was sympathy for his forced loss of home, maybe something else.

The black dog asked Gu Xiuge, "Why did you lose that gun?"

Gu Xiuge said: "When the bullets are finished, they are useless, so they are thrown away. The Germans just gave us a few thousand rounds of bullets a year, which is not enough to kill chickens. We Chinese can't make them ourselves. , the bullets can’t be divided into our heads, and there is only an empty gun left. It’s okay to hit birds, but it’s not good to hit little devils. It's cheap, and you can shoot whatever you want!"

Ye Rongqiu whispered, "Can't other bullets be used?"

Gu Xiuge laughed, and danced like singing: "Yes, why can't you! You load the bullet, bang, the barrel explodes, and save the trouble for the Japanese!"

Many people were attracted by Gu Xiuge's exaggerated performance, and Ye Rongqiu shrank his neck and gave him a shameful look.

The black dog asked: "The Germans are pro-Japanese, are they deliberately withholding our armaments? Why can't they buy weapons from the Americans, British, and Russians?"

Gu Xiuge gave him a thumbs up: "That's a good question! Promising! Why? When I see Jiang Zhongzheng, I have to ask him why!"

Ye Rongqiu was very surprised: "Can you meet Jiang Zhongzheng?" Just like a bandit leader like him, can he meet the first leader of China casually?Is his team really a powerful army?

Gu Xiuge gave him a funny look.Ye Rongqiu knew that he had been tricked again, so he snorted angrily.

It was almost time to rest, Gu Xiuge left the two of them to lead the team, Liu Wen stepped back and looked at the two of them.

As they were advancing, Liu Wen asked them: "Do you know the name of the battalion... regiment?"

The black dog said: "Gu Xiuge?"

Liu Wen nodded and said in a low voice: "He wasn't called Gu Xiuge before. He didn't have a name when he was in the Northeast. People called him Gu Lao Liu. It wasn't because he was the sixth child. He had no siblings. He was an orphan. On the sixth day of the sixth day, Huzi picked him up and became a mustache, and was recruited by Marshal Zhang to join the army.” (Huzi: Horse Thief)

The black dog asked him, "Are you from the Northeast, too?"

Liu Wen shook his head: "I am from Jiangnan. I have been with Tuanzuo since he left the Northeast. It has been seven years. He is illiterate. I found out his current name for him by looking through the books." Master Wang Yuxing, Xiu I am spear', he liked this sentence, so he changed his name to Gu Xiuge."

The black dog didn't say anything.

Ye Rongqiu felt uncomfortable. He whispered, "So what? He did it willingly, but we are just ordinary people. He knew it, but he forced us to be arrested!"

Liu Wen looked at him and smiled: "I understand your thoughts. Many people didn't like it when they first came here. Some people didn't want to be soldiers, and some people wanted to join the best team after they became soldiers. But then they all stayed. The team led by the group seat is the team with the fewest deserters."

Ye Rongqiu snorted disdainfully: "If there are deserters, he will kill them all."

Liu Wen shook his head: "He never actually shot a deserter. Because he said that enough Chinese people have been killed and they can't kill any more."

Ye Rongqiu and Heigou looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.The black dog lowered his head thoughtfully, but Ye Rongqiu was still upset: he didn't want to be a soldier, he wanted to go back to Chongqing, he wanted his old life!

Liu Wen said in a low voice: "He is right, we are the real army. If you have the chance, you will understand." After finishing this sentence, he did not say any more.

In the evening, a group of them rushed to Wuhan.

The army was stationed outside the city, Gu Xiuge took Guo Wu into the city to report the situation to the military headquarters, and Liu Wen stayed to manage the remnants and defeated generals.Same as the day before, Liu Wen locked Ye Rongqiu and Heigou in a room alone and didn't allow them to go out.

After what happened last night, the relationship between Heigou and Ye Rongqiu became awkward.Ye Rongqiu felt his heart beat faster as soon as he was in the same room with the black dog, and couldn't help but recall the kiss last night, and fantasize about something further.In fact, regardless of men and women, Ye Rongqiu has never been in contact with love. Heigou is the first person to take him to experience romantic feelings.

There is no doubt that Ye Rongqiu likes Heigou, and his feelings have sprouted since a long time ago, but the kiss from Heigou last night made him really wake up - not only did he not want to refuse, but he was eagerly looking forward to it from the bottom of his heart.After his feelings were awakened, he couldn't help but start to imagine a step closer.Regarding the emotions between men, he has seen in some Western literature and classical works that all these loves are closely linked to sex, as if there is no sex and no love.And the former Huang Sanye also gave him the concept that men are very aggressive, destructive and possessive.So he couldn't help thinking about the next move of the black dog.Although he has accepted the black dog from the bottom of his heart, but he still can't physically.After all, he is a man, and he feels very disgusted when he thinks of what it would be like to be under the pressure of another man.But he felt that the black dog would definitely make such a request to him, so he wanted to escape, hoping that this step would come later, maybe never, at least until the day he could accept it.

The black dog had nothing to do and began to spread the quilt.

During the time he was spreading the quilt, Ye Rongqiu had already stuck to the base of the wall, and his heart was about to jump out.In his mind, the black dog has done this to him countless times, humiliated, excited, shy, and uncomfortable.

The black dog spread the shop and lay down on it, staring at the roof in a daze.

At this time, Liu Wen opened the door and walked in. Seeing the strange combination of the black dog lying on the bed in a daze and Ye Rongqiu standing in the corner with a flushed face, he was taken aback for a moment.

The black dog asked him, "What's the matter?"

Liu Wen took out a book, Ye Rongqiu came up and took it.

Liu Wen smiled and said, "To relieve your boredom." After speaking, he went out again.

With one more book, there is something to do, which relieves the embarrassment to some extent.Ye Rongqiu pretended to be nonchalant, walked aside with the book and looked at it, and said in surprise, "It's actually an English book."

Black Dog only knows Chinese and Japanese, not English.He asked Ye Rongqiu: "What are you talking about?"

Ye Rongqiu opened the book and looked at it, and was even more surprised: "It's...it's a physics book."

"Huh?" The black dog sat up curiously: "Physics book?"

He reached out his hand to take the book from Ye Rongqiu to read, Ye Rongqiu handed it to him, their fingers touched, Ye Rongqiu shivered, but the black dog quickly withdrew his hand, as if trying to avoid something.Ye Rongqiu was a little dazed by his reaction, but the black dog had already lowered his head to read the book as if nothing had happened.

This book is already half old, but it is very neat, there are no stains or wrinkles on the book, it seems that the owner of the book should be a more careful cultural person.Black Dog stopped reading until he was in his early tenth year, so he couldn't understand the weird calculations and pictures in the book at all.He turned to a certain page and saw notes written in pencil on it, but the strange thing was that the notes were written in very beautiful English instead of Chinese.He returned the book to Ye Rongqiu: "Can you understand it?"

Ye Rongqiu read a few lines, then rubbed his temples with a headache: "There are calculus formulas, which are at least at the level of college physics. These were the things I hated the most when I was in college."

The black dog shrugged, then lay down again and continued to be in a daze.

The room was very quiet, no one spoke, each was thinking about his own thoughts.Ye Rongqiu was bored, so he picked up the book to read again, and put it down after a while.It went on and on like this, he managed to read a few pages, some of the content he understood, some things were too profound for him to understand.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Wen walked in with two soldiers.He glanced meaningfully at the book in Ye Rongqiu's hand, and said with a smile, "Please leave your trousers and shoes to me for safekeeping."

With the previous day's experience, this time Heigou and Ye Rongqiu took off their pants without saying a word.Although Ye Rongqiu was still a little awkward, he would rather take it off by himself than to be raped by someone.

Liu Wen took away their shoes and trousers, said good night and went out without saying much.

After Liu Wen left, the night was already very dark, and a little bit of dim light could not help Ye Rongqiu see the contents of the book clearly.It's time for him to sleep.

The black dog got under the quilt first, and Ye Rongqiu deliberately dawdled for a while, and then slowly moved over.He lifted up a corner of the quilt, and was about to get in, but the black dog suddenly moved aside as if avoiding something.Then, the black dog hesitated for a moment, with an obvious unfamiliar expression, retreated from the quilt, and whispered: "It's quite hot, you can cover it, I won't cover it."

Ye Rongqiu's heart skipped a beat, and when he met Heigou's wandering eyes due to guilt, an alarm bell rang in his heart: "Mom!This bastard actually planned to eat it and refuse to accept it!what to do!
