his robbery

Bai Mani lay on his back on the big bed, raised his hand and took out a red silk ribbon from around his neck.The red silk sash is so old that it has turned black, but the small bean pods are always white and moist.Looking down at it carefully, Bai Mani's heart felt empty. He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when he was a child, he had insisted that it was toffee. The last time he clearly knew that it was neither sweet nor soft. But the next time I get a chance, I still have to put it in my mouth.The eldest brother once used it as a bait, hanging it from top to bottom in front of him.He closed his mouth and refused to let go.The elder brother led the red rope and walked ahead, and he followed behind with his mouth tightly shut. Wherever the elder brother went, he followed.When the family saw it, they all laughed.

Bai Mani thought about it, and suddenly he laughed too, and laughed out loud.Holding the red string, he hung the little bean pod to his lips, he opened his mouth and closed it again, he chuckled, his whole body trembled, it was a tricky laugh.Having been with Lian Yi for a long time, Lian Yi's emotions are all exaggerated, so he was also affected.He seemed to be unable to control his emotions. He cried when he cried and laughed when he cried. He cried better and smiled more beautifully.Crying and laughing are all false, he has a high sky and a wide world in his heart, it is a desolate big world, in all directions, there is no one to rely on.

He was coaxed by his own memories.Spit out the little pod, and while wiping it off the collar of the jacket, he subconsciously hummed the tune in a low voice.The tune is still "Su San Qi Jie", and he can sing a lot of songs, Chinese and Western are messy, all of which are fragments of words, and none of them is complete, except "Su San Qi Jie".There are all female Su San on the stage, but he is a male Su San, the only one in the world, how ridiculous.

After humming incoherently for a while, he suddenly stopped his voice, and tucked the little pod back into his clothes.Pulling the satin quilt piled randomly on the big bed to cover himself, he began to pretend to be asleep.After another minute or so, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the room, the soles of riding boots stepping on the green brick floor.Immediately when the door of the outer room opened, Lian Yi came back.

The bead curtain "crashed", and Lian Yi lifted the curtain and went into the inner bedroom. He didn't know what he was looking for, and rummaged through boxes and cabinets.After being so busy for a while, Bai Mani sensed his approach.

Lian Yi's eyes were too poisonous, since Kent stood still and stared at him, he naturally saw his fake sleep.So Bai Mani opened his eyes and looked up to meet his gaze.

Lian Yi is dressed in military attire with a snow-white face. When he was young, he might have had a pretty melon-shaped face. Now that he is old, he has a tendency to loose skin and flesh, but he has no wrinkles, so he is old and not old. It is better to be completely old and pleasing to the eye. .Holding the fragrance of cream, he bent down, and he reached out and patted Bai Mani's face: "It's so beautiful."

Then he tilted his head slightly, and stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick Bai Mani's lips.After licking it a few times, Bai Mani opened his mouth and caught his tongue in one gulp.Lian Yi is very good at kissing, and Gu Chengxi is also good at kissing, but there are two paths with Lian Yi.Lian Yi has a kind of slow gentleness and lack of enthusiasm, as if he is specially teasing people.Bai Mani learned a lot of tricks from him, and after mastering them, he gave them all the same tricks.Lian Yi seemed to be coaxed by him, occupying him and refusing to return it.Gu Chengxi really came to beg him once, and even if he didn't give Yi Yi, he wouldn't leave.So Gu Chengxi never mentioned this matter again.

After lingering kisses for a long time, Lian Yi raised his head: "Son, don't lie in the house all the time, go out and see the sun."

Bai Mani put his arms around his neck, and asked seriously, "Where are you going?"

Lian Yi licked his lips, then smiled: "Me? I'm going to the battlefield to meet your elder brother."

Bai Mani fixedly looked into his eyes for a long time, and finally let go: "Go."

Lian Yi touched his hair again, then straightened up with a slight smile, and went out with his head held high.

As soon as Lian Yi left, Bai Mani sat up leaning against the head of the bed.He searched for cigarette tubes and matchboxes, and lit a cigarette for himself.Looking at the spring scenery outside the window, he slowly puffed out the clouds.When he was exhausted from a cigarette, he put on a thin jacket for himself, put on his shoes and got out of bed.Standing up with a cane, he walked out step by step.His walking almost requires skill, and he has his own rhythm, which cannot be chaotic.Once messed up, he can immediately trip himself up.

Lifting the curtain and going out the door, he squinted his eyes to look at the blue sky and white clouds.He also listened a bit to the battle situation outside.The eldest brother came, Lian Yi and Gu Chengxi were not doing anything, but he was afraid first.

He dared not see his eldest brother.The more he fools around, the less he dares to meet each other without face, but he really wants to become a bird or a worm, appear quietly, and sneak a look at the elder brother, so that the elder brother will not find out.

Bai Mani knew that Huo Xiangzhen was coming, and Huo Xiangzhen also knew that Bai Mani was there.But sitting in the armored train, Huo Xiangzhen stared at the battle map half the size of the wall, calmed down and didn't think about him.

The battle was not easy to fight, and he left his capital in Zhili, unwilling to use it.Although the National Defense Army has a bad name, it is not a vegetarian, and it has already echoed Feng's National Alliance Army.Since Duan Zhongtian entered Jiangsu, he has never fought a good battle, and he may retreat at any time; however, he must not retreat, because there are many bandits in the army.If the bandit soldiers dragged their guns and ran wildly, they would immediately overwhelm Huo Xiangzhen's line of defense.Once Huo Xiangzhen's defense line collapsed, there would be no barriers to defend in Shandong, and the 20 Zhilu coalition forces could only retreat directly to Zhili.If the coalition forces were defeated, Duan Zhongtian, as the commander-in-chief, might not end well.Zhang Laoshuai has a big temper and might tear him alive.

Duan Zhongtian's heart is like a mirror, so he sits in Jiangsu and doesn't dare to be shaken.The commander-in-chief will be torn alive, and the deputy commander-in-chief may also be skinned. Huo Xiangzhen's troops are divided into two groups and slowly advance along the railway line—sometimes advancing, sometimes retreating.The two sides fought desperately for more than two months, but they were at a stalemate all the time.

Huo Xiangzhen was anxious, and Lian Yi was even more anxious, because Lian Yi was inland and had no seaports. If he wanted to buy arms and supplementary weapons from foreign countries, he had nowhere to go because he had no money.Anxious to a certain extent, he went to find Gu Chengxi.

Gu Chengxi resisted all the troops on his own, but he was about to be powerless.When the two met, their eyes widened and their eyes widened, and they had nothing to say together.After a long silence, Lian Yi spoke first: "Damn, I didn't expect that Huo Jingheng sent four armored trains at once this time! I remember that thing was pretty stupid, what happened this time? Let him Improved?"

Gu Chengxi stood against the wall, smoking one cigarette after another: "Don't let that thing get close. Once it gets close, the guns inside will fire all at once, and everyone outside will be wiped out. But if it's far away, it won't be afraid. Bomb."

Drawing a horizontal line in the air with a finger holding a cigarette, Gu Chengxi made a gesture: "The chassis of the train must be heavier again. It turned out that I was in Henan, and I saw it in a scrapped train. Once the chassis is heavy, it will not be easy to derail. .”

Lian Yi looked out the window thoughtfully for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Which car is Huo Jingheng in? Huaihai or Zhili?"

Gu Chengxi threw the cigarette butt on the ground, before answering, he subconsciously paused: "Huaihai."

Lian Yi stared at him and asked, "Is the news true?"

Gu Chengxi knew that he could no longer hide from Lian Yi, but from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to reveal more information about Huo Xiangzhen to Lian Yi.Swallowing dryly, he barely raised his voice: "I can't guarantee anything else, at least he was still in the Huaihai yesterday."

Gu Chengxi has worked under Huo Xiangzhen for two years, and he has a lively and familiar personality, so naturally he will not live as a loner.With the old relationship and the new ocean, he bought several eyeliners in Huo Xiangzhen's Fourth Army.

Lian Yi originally had a serious expression, but when he heard this, his face lightened up for no reason.Raising his hand and stroking his back, he even smiled a little: "Okay, keep asking, and give me the latest news at any time. We can't waste time with him anymore. Find the opportunity and catch the thief king!"

Gu Chengxi, as if his neck could no longer support his head, nodded unsteadily: "Yeah."

After a week like this, the National Defense Army seemed to be really unable to support them, so they gave up their positions and retreated across the board.Huo Xiangzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and led the Fourth Army to pursue the victory.The man was inside the armored train, and he opened the roof sunroof.There has just been a thunderstorm outside, and the air is naturally fresh after the rain, with a faint earthy fragrance.Holding a bottle of iced soda, Huo Xiangzhen chatted with a Belarusian engineer.The exiled engineer learned five cars and helped Huo Xiangzhen transform the armored train, and his grades were very good, and he got high marks as soon as he entered the battlefield.Yuan Man stood at the door and waited for orders - the secretary-general stayed in Beijing to look after the house, so he followed Huo Xiangzhen and had to take care of all affairs.Looking up at the tender blue sky outside the skylight, he was in a daze, and at the same time mustered all his strength, wanting to get out of the car and go for a wild run.It's too inhumane not to let people play in the summer.

There was a sudden vibration under the carriage, indicating that the train was about to start.The engineer spoke in a mixture of Chinese and Russian languages, breathing heavily on alcohol while talking about his latest whimsical ideas.Speaking of the last sentence, the engineer slapped his chest, and looked at Huo Xiangzhen with a pair of blue eyes, watching intently, like a child waiting for a comment from an adult.Huo Xiangzhen held the soda bottle in one hand, raised the other hand and patted him on the back vigorously: "Okay, very good, Mr. Hara."

The engineer was immediately happy, chattered a bunch of Russian words, got up contentedly, and walked out of the officer's car with his middle-aged belly that was about to get fat.When he was far away, Huo Xiangzhen raised his head and drank the last bit of soda in the bottle, and then said to Yuan Man: "You are not allowed to drink alcohol for this old man in the future, do you hear me?"

Yuan Man stood at attention: "Yes, Commander! But Mr. Valentin will go to the dining car to steal vodka by himself! I can't guard against my humble job!"

Huo Xiangzhen was amused by him: "If you can't guard against it, you have to guard against it!"

Yuan Man thought about it seriously, and finally said: "Marshal, I have an idea of ​​dredging the bottom line. When the train stops at the next station, I will ask someone to unload all the vodka in the dining car. Let Mr. Valentin There is no way to steal! What does the commander-in-chief think?"

Huo Xiangzhen had just been quarreled by a drunken engineer for more than an hour, and now he has a taste of the innocence and stupidity of the adjutant.Frowning and looking at Yuan Man, he wanted to kick this kid out.

At this moment, the train started to speed up, and the cool wind rushed into the carriage.Huo Xiangzhen put down the soda bottle and got up, walked under the skylight and opened her arms.Sitting against the board wall for a long time, he was sweating all over his body, and the only layer of shirt was slightly damp.The gust of wind blew his back obliquely, making him close his eyes comfortably, raised his head and took a deep breath.

He is not afraid of war, and even loves it.The war is enough to prove that he is not Zhao Kuo, and no hero can grow in a comfortable air.Commanding tens of thousands of troops and four rampant armored trains, many poems and proses poured out of his mind, none of them were complete, and all of them were fragments of words, which echoed in his ears one after another, and finally summarized into He said: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up".

The train was going faster and faster, and it must have reached its maximum speed.Huo Xiangzhen stood in the wind, just intoxicated.Seeing that he remained silent, Yuan Man wanted to take the opportunity to slip away even if he was lazy.However, in the midst of silence, there was a loud noise in front of him, which made the train tremble suddenly, and Huo Xiangzhen and Yuan Man who were standing in the carriage also staggered a step.Without waiting for Huo Xiangzhen's order, Yuan Man took two steps sideways and picked up the internal phone in the carriage.After shouting a few questions and answers, he held the receiver and told Huo Xiangzhen, "Commander, there are mines planted under the railroad tracks ahead, and they are blowing up our locomotive! The engineers have already got off the train and started overhauling!"

After hearing this, Huo Xiangzhen was not very flustered.Striding into the command car, he looked out through the observation hole, and saw that the Belarusian soldiers accompanying the car had already got off the car one after another, carrying heavy machine guns to build a fire defense line on both sides of the train.There are cannons on the car and guns under the car. The enemy cannot approach the railway at all. Even if they have the heart to attack, they have no power to attack.Moreover, the follow-up troops were not far from the train, so even if the battle started, they would have reinforcements.

I don't know which side opened fire first, and the guns inside and outside the car immediately fired back and forth.Huo Xiangzhen was very aware of her own firepower, so she calmly put on a military uniform and carried a pistol, and rubbed two small cotton balls to plug her ears.

Huo Xiangzhen can be safe, but Lian Yi and Gu Chengxi, who are on the front line in person, have to be in a hurry.According to Lian Yi's plan, the timed explosives buried under the railroad tracks should have at least shattered the opponent's locomotive.However, after an earth-shattering explosion, the locomotive appeared to be safe and sound at first glance.The large troops of the Fourth Army will arrive soon, and their ambush can only last for an hour at most.However, bunkers had already been built on both sides of the train, and the National Defense Army launched several charges. Soldiers in groups often could not run for tens of meters, and they were bloody and bloody under the heavy machine gun fire and mortar bombardment.

Twenty minutes later, Lian Yi's eyes turned red.Raised his hand and shot a small officer who was fleeing back, he turned around and walked while shouting: "Fire the heavy artillery, give me a blast!"

Gu Chengxi grabbed him: "No! There are people in the car!"

Lian Yi turned around suddenly, and shot Gu Chengxi between the eyebrows: "What's the matter? Are you reluctant to let Huo Jingheng fail? Deputy Commander, let me tell you, if you dare to mess with me now, I'll let you call Huo Jingheng right away!"

As soon as he raised his gun, a large number of guards rushed up behind Gu Chengxi, and they also raised their guns at him.Lian Yi didn't look at other people, just glared at Gu Chengxi, and at the same time raised his chin towards the front obliquely: "Ziming, pass on my words! Push all the heavy artillery up to me, and fire at the central compartment!"

Li Ziming carried a light machine gun, promised, turned his head and left.
