Chapter 1217 Smoldering (7)
The howling night wind swirled rapidly in the mountains, and the chasing and slashing figures also hurried through the mountains. The dark vision and rugged slopes made the slashing figures from behind The man fell to the ground and rolled on the grassy slope, but then he got up and shouted and chased after him. After a while, the two of them were fighting and rolling into the stream between the slopes.
The stumbling fights and collisions were all like conditioned reflexes developed over a long period of time. The pursuing soldiers lost their steel knives and still waved their fists to hit them, while the rickety figure on the other side retreated. The dung worker's eyes were equally ferocious, like Back in the North Country, he had fantasized countless times about the counterattack he would make after being discovered by the enemy. He swung the wooden stick he picked up from the water and hit the opponent on the shoulder, and then hit the head and face until The young soldier was beaten to a bloody head and fell to the edge of the stream.
In fact, he had been stabbed several times. Tang Minjie stood in the stream under the moonlight, panting rapidly.
If it were on flat ground, he would not be the opponent's opponent at all. He would probably be killed by the opponent with just a few blows. However, during the rapid escape, he took advantage of the familiar terrain and was able to get there. had such a result.
The cold wind at night blew over, and he looked down the mountain. What came to mind was the figure of two Chinese soldiers who were pushed high into the sky in the methane explosion...killing one of their own...
At this moment, he was slightly confused and didn't know why he was running up the mountain. He looked down, and saw that torches had been lit in farms and villages, and crowds were gathering...
He was stunned for a while.
He went to check the condition of the fallen soldier by the stream, then took out a rope and tied the other man's hands, picked up the steel knife, and dragged it forward.
……
At the foot of the mountain, in the 223 Agricultural Research Institute, a few security personnel have gathered, and other personnel in the institute have also taken knives, guns, rakes and plows, and gathered towards the retting field.
The middle-aged soldier checked his companions with red eyes. One of them had been killed on the spot, but the other was still alive - to be precise, he was already in a dying state. He was a little better in the room. The medical doctor came over and was doing his job.
Chen Cirang came over to check the situation, and the other party informed him of his name: This middle-aged soldier is now the leader of the Wenpu County working group. His name is Fang Lu. His rank in the military is not low, at least Chen Cirang It's a height that's completely out of reach.
Knowing that Tang Minjie was the one who protected the landlord and now escaped, Chen Cirang felt that the matter was not simple and defended him a few words. Asking whether there was a misunderstanding, Fang Lu pointed at his dead companion and said Liao Biao: "This is called a misunderstanding! You call this a misunderstanding! You call this a misunderstanding!? "
Chen Cirang knew that Tang Minjie's past was not simple, but of course he did not dare to talk back now, and then he could only accept the other party's arrangement: "You are locals, call everyone you can, Guard the surrounding escape routes and be sure to catch him. I will personally interrogate him.”
People from the village have also gathered.
Fang Lu walked towards his companions on the other side, and "Cripple" also came over: "Xiao Yu caught up with him immediately. There is no news yet, so I'm afraid he might have been caught. There are... so many outsiders. Will coming here make things worse?”
“The people who came back from the intelligence line were difficult to deal with, but he had expected that. If something happened, why didn't you run to a crowded place?" Fang Lu's eyes were red and he was a little confused. He looked around, thought for a moment, and said, "There are more people, let's search together. , let’s go together and try our best to kill him on the spot.”
Everyone nodded, gripped their weapons, and headed up the mountain.
……
The mountains behind Xiaoye Village are not small. Tang Minjie dragged the Chinese Army soldier towards the mountains. After walking for a while, the soldier shook his head and gradually became more awake. Tang Minjie used a steel knife to force him towards the mountains. Go deep.
The young soldier's head was bloody, and he was not very conscious for a while, and the same was true for Tang Minjie. This sudden incident has shattered the dream he had experienced in the past six months. He is not even sure what he is going to do next, how he is going to do it, or even why he is going to do it...
Originally, he should not have contacted him. These things have happened.
The night before, the injured member Qiu who was hiding in the excrement barrel made him curious about the accusation against the Chinese military working group. The other party was seriously injured and the evidence was actually insufficient. He said something, He didn't know whether to believe it for a while, so he just subconsciously made some arrangements and waited for the other party to fall into the trap.
If the other party is honest, everything will be carried out openly, and someone will come to him and make formal inquiries and negotiations to him - he also believes that this should be the process.
All reactions are knee-jerk. Too skilled.
So much so that when the other party came to kill him, Tang Minjie even felt a little unsure of what to do.
The scene where the biogas pool blew up two people to death was a sap on his head. Why bother? Why did it suddenly come to this point?
At a certain moment, I heard the soldier in front cough violently, vomited a mouthful of blood, and then cursed through gritted teeth: "...Why? Why...you are such a bastard, why...you Kill me if you dare! Kill me!"
Tang Minjie remained silent, but then said: "I'm sorry..."
"You can't survive." The other party said, "You know, you can't survive... Do you know, they are all heroes, my brothers, they all killed the golden dog in the bloody battle, what are you, you coward! You Being assigned to pick shit is like kneeling down for the enemy! You coward! I tell you you won’t survive—”
Tang Minjie pushed him forward with a knife, partially agreeing with what the other person said. .
“But you...why do you do such a thing...”
“We...we are doing it for the good of the Chinese Army...”
“No.” Tang Min Jie shook his head, "You force people to sign the land deed, and then kill the whole family. When the land reform is completed, you get money based on the land deed, and there are other transactions in the process..."
"You are slanderous! You have no evidence -"
"You can't hide it. This matter can be easily clarified by investigation. The temporary land deed must be registered and falsified, which means you still have friends in the government. But before Many people in the area know which areas belong to the Qiu family. You can deceive outsiders, but as long as there is a direction in the investigation, it will be easy to get the bottom..."
"..."
"And...you came to kill me, which is tantamount to bringing it upon yourself. How did you become like this..."
"... "The wind at night blew through the hills and stirred the leaves in the forest. The soldier was silent for a moment, "...what qualifications do you have to accuse me of betraying your comrades? "
"I don't mind if you kill people. Even if you are a little extreme, it doesn't matter. I didn't want to care about it." Tang Minjie said, "But the Chinese army cannot become like this, enriching themselves for public service..."
"Because The young soldier smiled and tilted his head, "We conquered this world."
Tang Minjie looked at him.
"It was my brothers who shot down!" the other party said. "Fighted down and fought with all their lives. Do you know how many brothers died early, how many brothers were disabled, and how many brothers left behind a large family? You coward, do you know the flowers in Chengdu today? Does the world belong to others? Do you know how many of my brothers’ family members are unable to see a doctor or take good medicine when they are sick? Do you know that when we go to Chengdu, our annual allowance is not even enough to touch one of them? The girl’s hand?”
Tang Minjie said nothing.
"Isn't it vulgar? Coward? But what are we fighting for? To live a good life, shouldn't we? We work hard and want our family to go to the big city and be proud, shouldn't we? I arrived there when I was more than ten years old After working hard in the army, being injured and hungry, I want to have a beautiful girl, shouldn’t I? Especially those brothers, their families and children who are already dead? You want to have a future that is no worse than anyone else, shouldn’t you? Why do you want to be a soldier? In the past, no one became a soldier in exchange for money or a future. Only the Chinese army... we are the strongest army in history! Something!"
"...For the injured and injured soldiers, the army has arranged doctors and recuperation, widows and children, I know the superiors are involved. There is an arrangement, don’t talk nonsense.”
“There is an arrangement, but it is an ordinary arrangement, with ordinary accommodation and ordinary schooling. But have you ever visited Chengdu? Look at those people, they have all kinds of good things, all kinds of novelty gadgets, fine clothes and fine food. You know, we people go to the city with the children of our comrades and look at those things. Do you know what it’s like to be greedy when we can’t afford these good things?”
“ We, our boss... have raised nineteen children left by our comrades, we give them the best things, and we spend our money here with a clear conscience!”
"So..." Tang Minjie paused, "It's not just this land reform, you have taken money before this... How did you get it?"
The soldier was slightly stunned, and after a while, Just then he smiled and said: "The people in the working group Those comrades are right, redemption is not the solution. If we keep these landowners, sooner or later they will dig up our roots with resentment. Killing them is the only solution once and for all, and we will only resell their land at the lowest price. superior Anyway, they are dead and there is no use for it. Everyone will live a good life and no one will be harmed. You coward, don’t you understand? The land will be divided evenly and no one will have any objections. By staying, our Chinese army has spent the least money, and all the heroic families will live a good life. This is the best result, this is the best result-"
He said Later, the voice was suppressed and it was almost a low growl. Tang Minjie closed his eyes, and the sigh in his throat was almost like a moan.
The two walked for a while, stopped at a cave-like depression in the mountains, and sat on the ground. Tang Minjie was drowsy, and so was the other person, but for a moment of silence, the other person looked at him with bloody eyes. come over.
"You can't live if you kill my brother..."
He said this, after a while, he added: "Do you know, we didn't plan to kill you originally, we wanted to have a chat, we originally wanted to... cooperate with you. But it ended up like this... "
After a while: "Where did you hide the one named Qiu?"
Tang Minjie sat there in a daze and sighed. : "...not in 223."
"Still at the dung station?"
"..." Tang Minjie looked at him, not knowing whether to appreciate or regret his perseverance. But he finally showed a sarcastic smile: "He was too seriously injured and hid in the dung bucket. Halfway through the words, he was already dead."
"..." The young soldier opened his mouth, "You deliberately..."
"Well..." sighed, "I originally thought there would be a good result, I thought...this is certain... ..."
"Hehe...hehe..." The soldier also laughed sarcastically, and then said: "You will not survive if you kill my brother..."
The night wind outside the cave was blowing, and there were faint sounds coming from the bottom of the mountain. The two rested for a long time. Tang Minjie made no movement. The young soldier did not give up. After a while, he said: "Why don't you run?"
After a while, he said: "What did you do outside?" Huh?”
Tang Minjie ignored him. Only once did he say, "You killed my brother." When he cursed, he spoke slowly: "It should be called 'comrade.'"
Young The soldier seemed to be stunned for a moment, but then he said word by word: "...Are you worthy?"
Tang Minjie stopped talking.
Time passed bit by bit in the wind, and the search at the foot of the mountain gradually spread. Tang Minjie leaned against the wall of the cave, but he no longer planned to leave. The thoughts in his mind were a bit chaotic, and the memories Despite the calmness of the past six months, he only had a slight evil thought, and finally killed two more people. He knew that the young soldier in the cave was still gently grinding the rope on his hand against the stone wall. Tang Minjie knew that he should stop him, but he was just too lazy to speak.
He even dozed off slightly.
I don’t know what time it was at night, but there was movement outside nearby. Tang Minjie opened his eyes, looked at the soldier on the opposite side, and then raised his long knife: "Don't talk." But the soldier stood up, and the rope behind him did not move. Untied, there was a loud shout in his mouth: "Here——"
This sound The night sky was torn apart. This was a small hole formed by the depression of the stone wall. The two were not far apart. Tang Minjie swung his hand and the knife was already pressed on the other's neck, but the young man laughed: "Come on, come on." Here - do it! If you dare to kill me -"
Tang Minjie did not do it.
In the night not far away, the middle-aged soldier was already running towards us. There was no musket here, but he had a bow in his hand. Tang Minjie held the young soldier in front of him with a knife, but he struggled fiercely: "I'm not afraid of death! Do it if you dare! You coward! Do it - Lu Tou, Qiu Zishu is already dead, he was killed by him. This coward doesn't dare to take action, kill him, kill him -"
Fang Lu held his bow and looked here with red eyes: "My two brothers are dead...what are you? People?”
"Kill him, Lu Tou, before those people come..."
The young soldier struggled without fear of death. Tang Minjie sighed and let him go. He held the knife, looked at Fang Lu opposite, and shook his head: "Why do you want to do such a thing?"
In the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, but he thought, it didn't matter. He decided to stop here.
The calmness of the past six months flashed through his mind, but it quickly became distant. What he saw more in front of him was the howling wind and snow with the smell of blood in the north. It was after the death of his sister. Then the endless pain continued to haunt him. For him, death was a moment that was long overdue.
Lu Mingfang. I've been waiting for too long, wasting my time in vain... (End of chapter)
