"Brother, it's me!"

Tian Zhenggang saw clearly that it was Wu Ming who was pushing his forehead with a gun, and he screamed quickly.

The gun was still pressed against Tian Zhenggang's eyebrows. Wu Ming's hand holding the gun was very steady, his face turned pale and cold. He stared at Tian Zhenggang's eyes for a while, slowly put away the gun and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Zhenggang, my elder brother escaped by chance during the sneak attacks and encirclement of dozens of officers and soldiers. He is still frightened. He thought of escaping, but found that he had no food, no food, no food, so he could only come back quietly to get something. You are about to leave when you are here."

Tian Zhenggang's suspicion was confirmed, and he was frightened. He strode forward and grabbed Wu Ming's hand: "Brother, tell me what happened? Why did the people from the county guards and Chen Mansion in Huanggu Town arrest you? Are you really **?"

"Chen Mansion, Huanggu Town?"

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows and slowly sat on the stone at the entrance of the cave. He picked up the jerky thrown beside the stone and continued to put it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few seconds, he suddenly stood up: "Zhenggang, you just said that it was the security team and the Chen family who caught me, right? How did you know that there were people from the Chen family?"

"I often go to the market to sell mountain goods in the town. I know the guardians and servants of Chen's mansion. Although I stand far, I can see clearly that the person who leads the team is the housekeeper Wang of Chen's mansion, so I can't make a mistake."

After Tian Zhenggang finished speaking, he looked at Wu Ming worriedly: "Brother, early this morning, I heard guns crackling on the mountain, which scared the whole village's dogs barking. I thought something was wrong, so I immediately ran out of the entrance of the village to watch. I saw a large group of security guards guarding the mountain road leading to this place, all carrying guns. I guess if something happened to you? I was worried so much that I saw that the housekeeper Wang of Chen's mansion took people down the mountain and left in a hurry, and then the garrison group's

Ten people also went down the mountain, each with dark faces. Obviously, I didn't get anything. I felt better. But the dozen soldiers guarding the road entrance were still there. After thinking about it, I was still worried, so I ran up to take a look. I didn't expect to see you. Brother, the county wanted orders were posted to our village, saying that your name is Wu Shan Yazi, and it was a red bandit. I also said that you did the killing of two ** officers before the Spring Festival. Isn't it?"

Wu Ming's heart was shocked and he pulled Tian Zhenggang over and sat down together: "What else did you hear?"

Tian Zhenggang thought about it and replied: "The two soldiers who came to pass the order also said that in August last year, you had a share in the Red Bandits attacking the county town. They killed dozens of officers and soldiers, robbed the county magistrate and the rich gentry, and set fire to the county government and more than a dozen yards."

After hearing this, Wu Ming fell silent and thought for a moment, he focused his attention: "So that's it, I understand!"

"Brother, what do you understand?" Tian Zhenggang asked anxiously.

"I understand a lot."

Wu Ming sighed and looked into the distance and whispered: "Zhenggang, in August last year, a woman named Wu in Wujia Village west of Huanggu Town was hit and killed by a housekeeper of Chen's family. The next day, his son buried his mother and touched the Chen family at night to take revenge. After making a mistake, he was arrested and escorted to the county jail. He was punished for communist crimes. I wonder if you have heard of this?"

"I heard that it's spread all over the countryside. Alas! At that time, the villagers talked about this matter privately. The widow named Wu and her son were miserable. It's so pitiful! We are more than 20 miles away from Tianjia Village, and we don't usually have any contacts across the mountains, and we don't know whose family is suffering."

Tian Zhenggang suddenly looked at Wu Ming in surprise: "Brother, you, you..."

Wu Ming nodded: "Yes, it's me. I failed to take revenge at that time and was caught. The second young master of the Chen family took someone to beat me up. Before dawn, he took me to the county town and threw me into the prison. The guards in the prison broke my left arm and my head was cracked four holes. My whole body was injured and killed. Fortunately, two kind-hearted people in the prison extended a helping hand, so I could barely save my life. Then the ** Red Guard suddenly entered the county town, released me, and asked me to follow me.

I helped people flee north, but I didn't expect that the security team officers and soldiers came quickly and chased from behind overnight. When I was shooting, I accidentally fell into a stone pit on the side of the road and fainted. Instead, I escaped because of this. All the people who were traveling were killed and cut off their heads. After waking up the next morning, I climbed out of the deep pit and only breathed a sigh of relief. Master Chengzong of Qizhen Temple happened to go down the mountain to buy it. When I saw me, I carried me back, saved my life and healed my wounds. I just stayed on the mountain like this."

Tian Zhenggang heard it, his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, looking at Wu Ming, who was gritting his teeth, and could not say a word.

Wu Ming paused for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Zhenggang, I am not a **, nor a bandit. However, I did kill the two Nanchang officers. The reason I killed them was because they committed evil in the dilapidated temple more than ten miles north of the city. That day was the day when the two brothers of your village were buried. At noon, I drank with you. After dinner, I went to the city to buy things alone. On the way back, I met two officers who forced the girl to rob the civilian girl. They led the two women into the dilapidated temple north of the fork intersection to do evil. I rushed over without thinking too much. While they were taking off their pants, they killed one with a stone. The other was twisted by me and took their guns and quietly returned to the mountain. This is the case. I still don't regret it."

"So, was the gun that my brother gave me back from those two officers?" Tian Zhenggang finally understood.

Wu Ming nodded: "Yes, if you are afraid, you can bury the gun quietly, and no one will find it on your head."

"Brother, what are you saying? You look down on me!" Tian Zhenggang stood up suddenly, his face blushed with excitement.

"Why do I look down on you? If I look down on you, I will tell you this?"

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he reached out and pulled Tian Zhenggang to sit down: "Zhenggang, you are different from me. There are a lot of old and young people in your family. If something happens to happen, how can you be worthy of your family? But I am different. I stand up and lie down one. Even if the sky is broken, it is still a matter of one person. Do you understand? If you still recognize me as my elder brother, go home soon and I will leave too. This place is not safe, so I can't tell when the officers and soldiers will come again. If God opens his eyes and lets me escape smoothly, we brothers will always meet one day in the future."

"No! Brother, if you want to leave, I will go with you. You are not the desperate person they call him. You are a man who stands tall and upright, and the benefactor of my old Tian family! Besides, all the intersections at the foot of the mountain are full of officers and soldiers, and you can't walk without knowing the way." Tian Zhenggang pushed Wu Ming's hand away and stood up, staring at Wu Ming angrily.

Wu Ming looked around and whispered: "Why are you calling so loud? Trying! If you don't want to implicate your family, hurry up. I am familiar with this area and don't need your help. If you spend some effort to climb over the back mountain, you will have a way out. There is no ghost in that wild forest within a radius of ten miles, and there is Shitou Ridge more than twenty miles east of Qingshui River. My family is at the foot of the ridge and walk north along the mountain road. It is the Sanqing Mountain with a stretch of mountains. It is not Shangrao's control. Even if they want to control it, they can't control it. At that time, whether I go north to Anhui, east to Zhejiang, or dozens of miles to Dexing County, I can do whatever I want. Who can do what I do?"

"But, you are alone. If you encounter something again, you won't be able to take care of it!" Tian Zhenggang looked reluctant, and tears were so anxious that he burst into tears, and his strong brotherhood was fully revealed.

Wu Ming patted Tian Zhenggang on the shoulder and was very moved: "Zhenggang, good brother, don't worry about brother, you know that brother's shooting skills are inferior, but his fist skills are not worse than you. He has a German-made bullet, and he has enough self-defense. In addition, brother can write and calculate, and he can speak official words. He is not afraid of traveling all over the world, but he is still afraid of this mountain road? You go home and live a good life. If you have the opportunity to go out and make a personal appearance in the future, we will meet one day. Brother will remember that he still owe you a pair of military leather shoes."

"Brother..." Tian Zhenggang couldn't help crying.

Wu Ming touched his sore nose, walked into the hole and took out a small bag on his back, hugged Tian Zhenggang's shoulder and sent him to the stream.

Tian Zhenggang quickly wiped away his tears, turned around and walked up the mountain, Wu Ming shook his head and followed quickly, climbed up the ridge and came to the steep pass down the mountain. He grabbed Tian Zhenggang who was still about to go down, and persuaded him to stop him. Finally, he left alone under Tian Zhenggang's tearful eyes.

Tian Zhenggang stood blankly on the ridge until he could not see Wu Ming's figure. He looked back frequently along the way back. After falling twice, he didn't know the pain. His mind was full of voice, appearance and smile with Wu Ming. He walked down the mountain gate in a daze. He couldn't help but shed sad tears again.

At this time, Tian Zhenggang was only worried about how Wu Ming escaped, and he was worried that he would be able to meet with this friendly and respectable elder brother. He didn't expect that the elder brother in his heart was not as calm and open-minded as he looked on, nor did he tell him the truth. Not only did he not escape as soon as possible, but he began a bold revenge in anger.

At night, Wu Ming, who had been trekking over mountains and ridges for more than 50 miles, finally arrived at Shitouling. He carefully took a detour along the foot of the mountain, walked across the single-plank bridge to climb the valley, and looked back at the familiar village and felt mixed emotions.

In the remaining twilight, a few wisps of smoke rose from the sky of several low thatched houses. Not far away, my memory home has now collapsed and has no life.

Wu Ming looked south, his eyes crossed the river, and the grave under the hillside was vaguely visible. The remaining paper banners inserted on the grave drifted in the wind, showing loneliness. Wu Ming's lips squirmed slightly, as if they were saying goodbye, and as if they were murmuring unconsciously. Even he himself could not tell the feelings at this time.

After standing for a long time, Wu Ming tightened the bag and strap in front of him, took a deep breath and continued to walk eastward. He walked down the valley and walked for three miles, slowing down and stared ahead vigilantly.

In the night, the ancient Huanggu Town lights dotted, the semi-circular moon hangs under the deep sky, the night wind in early spring is still cold, and only the rustling sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees may sound.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Wu Ming quickly left the road, slowly walked between the weeds and bushes beside the road, turned around the bend of the small river and immediately saw the dazzling horse light at the intersection of the west road of the town.

Under the light a hundred meters away, two officers and soldiers wearing cotton jackets and rifles stood beside a carriage and spoke loudly to the Chen family's servant who brought food and wine. The servants loudly said that their in-laws, County Magistrate Wang, had arrived. Butler Wang was holding a banquet to entertain several heads of the security team. More than 30 brothers stationed in the town had food and drink, and no one in the Chen family forgot the brothers who were staying outside the town.

Wu Ming stopped in the tall grass, knelt on one leg and listened intently, observing carefully through the declining thatch, waiting patiently.

After delivering the goods, the two servants drove the carriage back to the town. The two officers and soldiers returned to the hay hut at the entrance of the road, drinking and eating meat leisurely and talking in a low voice, without taking the task of blockade seriously.
