Koyuki

What was Yuzhou like in 1930?For Gu Jinting, apart from being very different from what he remembered, there was nothing else.

On the fourth day of May, the next day is the Dragon Boat Festival. Although Yuzhou has water, it does not want to have the custom of dragon boat racing in other places. Every May [-]th, people in Yuzhou just eat some rice dumplings and hang some mugwort leaves at the door.

Early in the morning, Gu Qianjue brought a group of brothers down the mountain. Ever since he coaxed Gu Jinting well that day, Gu Qianjue had made Gu Jinting call these three words every day. What Gu Qianjue meant.

There are rules everywhere.Gu Qianjue brought his brothers down the mountain not to plunder passers-by, but to buy candied dates and glutinous rice. When he came back, he would ask someone who knew how to make zongzi to make some zongzi and cook them for every household at the foot of the mountain. One or two, this May Festival is over.

The bandits in Qianzezhai are not the same as the bandits in Gu Jinting's impression. Although they can also rob things, they never kill people. It can even be said that they have morals. Although it is ironic to say that a group of bandits have morals, they do have My own ethics, not robbing the good, not robbing the poor, and helping the poor from time to time, so whenever they go down the mountain, the people at the foot of the mountain will not run away in fright, but feel very comfortable.

A group of men don’t pay much attention to shopping. They go into the store, choose something, pay for it, so it doesn’t take long from going down the mountain to buying things back. The only time-consuming place is on the road.

Carrying the rice and dates back to the stockade, Gu Qianjue raised his hand to signal his brothers to stop halfway up the mountain. Gu Qianjue bent over and looked forward while hiding in the lush vegetation.

Not far away, two men in yellow-green military uniforms were burying something in the soil with bayonets on their backs. While digging the soil, they were muttering something that Gu Qianjue couldn't understand.

"It would be great if the second brother was here." A person whispered.

He Xiao was considered an intellectual before he fell into the grass. He knew a lot of foreign languages. If he was here, he might be able to understand what those two people were saying. But this time He Xiao did not come out with them but stayed in the village. housekeeper.

The two men in yellow-green military uniforms walked away slowly, not sure if there were only two of them or there were others, Gu Qianjue signaled to the brothers not to startle the enemy, and walked forward slowly.

The steps stopped at the place where the two people had just stopped. Although the ground was covered with leaves and branches, the surrounding refurbished soil could still be seen.

"Yuan Gui." Gu Qianjue shouted.

The man who spoke just now leaned forward, and he approached cautiously, raised his hand to push away the dead branches and leaves, "It's a land mine." Seeing the cut lead wire and the hard touch of the bottom of his hand, Yuan Gui said.

"Mine..." Gu Qianjue frowned and his expression became serious. Which army are those two?If they didn't notice that they stepped on it, then those of them who came out would be missing arms and legs.

"Can you solve it?" Gu Qianjue asked Yuan Gui, Yuan Gui had always done some research on sex, "If not, then surround this place and be careful when you leave in the future." Gu Qianjue didn't force it.

"I can." Yuan Gui nodded, "Brother, I may not know that there is an ambush here in the forest, those two people..."

"I know." Gu Qianjue has always done things without leaving any troubles. He glanced at Yuan Gui and left two people to accompany him. Gu Qianjue led the others to the mountains.

Dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, those two people are afraid that they will be tired of life.

Although the terrain of this mountain is complicated, if someone walks around, there will be traces left. What's more, Gu Qianjue, who has occupied Qianze Mountain for many years, can tell where the two people have gone with just one glance.

Maybe it was because they had to find a place to bury the landmines. Those two people didn't walk too far, and Gu Qianjue found no trace of other people around them along the way, so what did these two people come for?Just simply laying landmines, wanting to use landmines to solve the Qianzezhai people silently?If this is the case, then their leaders are taking it for granted.

Seeing the backs of the two yellow-green military uniforms again, Gu Qianjue pulled out the dagger from his boots, bent forward and rushed forward.

Before the two of them could react, Gu Qianjue had already appeared behind a person. He quickly stretched out his hand to cover the person's mouth, and at the same time wiped his neck cleanly with a knife.

The other person realized that he raised the bayonet in his hand and was about to stab Gu Qianjue, but Gu Qianjue stepped forward and kicked that person in the chest.

The people from Qianzezhai quickly stepped forward, took the bayonet from the man's hand, and pinned him to the ground.

It was only then that Gu Qianjue noticed the national emblem on the hats of the two men wearing military uniforms. He lowered his head to see it more clearly, "Japanese people?"

The Japanese soldier knew that he had been arrested, and he raised his head and said a Japanese language loudly towards the sky, and then he gritted his teeth, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he lost his breath soon.

"Tsk." Wipe off the blood on the knife, put the knife back into the scabbard, "It's probably not a coincidence that the Japanese came here."

Others also knew about the seriousness of the matter, and their faces were very heavy.

Yuzhou is still peaceful, but the outside is not like this. The flames of war have been ignited for a long time, and it will burn here at some point.

"Let's talk about it when we go back." Gu Qianjue said, carrying a bag of glutinous rice.It's man-made, no matter what happens in the future, this life has to go on.

Qianze Village.

Gu Jinting came out when he heard the voice, "So fast?" Gu Jinting was a little surprised when he saw the things they bought, he just felt that this group of people came back not long after they left.

"Well, I didn't buy much." Gu Qianjue said.He concealed what happened in the mountains, and his young master didn't need to know what was there or what wasn't.

"He Xiao and I finished the reed leaves, and we can make zongzi later." Gu Jinting said.

"Okay." Gu Qianjue nodded and walked towards the hall with the rice on his shoulders.

There are a lot of people in the village, and it is a big project to make rice dumplings for those people, and the kitchen is too narrow to make room for it, so the rice dumplings are made in the hall.

Following Gu Qianjue into the hall, Gu Jinting's gaze fixed on Gu Qianjue's cuff.

Gu Qianjue is wearing dark clothes today, so it's not obvious if there is any dirt on it, but even so, Gu Jinting still noticed a dark color on the sleeve, the dark crimson is like blood.

"Gu Qianjue." Gu Jinting called him, touching his sleeve with his fingers.

Gu Qianjue had just put the rice bag on the ground at this moment, and before he could react, Gu Jinting touched the cuff. When he felt Gu Jinting's movement, his heart skipped a beat.

But Gu Qianjue's face remained the same, "What's the matter?" Walking from the mountainside to the stockade, the blood on the cuff of the windy mountain should have dried up long ago, Gu Qianjue comforted himself like this.

Gu Jinting took his fingers away from the sleeves, and when his fingers touched the sleeves, there was still a slight wet feeling. Seeing that his fingertips were indeed stained red, he put his fingers on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly. Gu Jinting frowned, it was blood.

"Are you injured?" Looking carefully at Gu Qianjue's whole body, Gu Jinting's voice was a bit worried. Seeing blood from Gu Qianjue's body, Gu Jinting couldn't think of any other possibility except that he was injured.

"It's not my blood." Holding Gu Jinting's hand that wanted to pull up his sleeve, Gu Qianjue said, "I met two Japanese people when I came back."

"Japanese people..." Gu Jinting murmured softly, "How can there be Japanese people if they are so good?"

Jingzhou.

"Master, Wucheng can't stand the telegram from She An." The adjutant walked into the base camp with the telegram, looking anxious.

"What?! Why can't you keep it? Didn't you say you won the battle before?" The master took over the telegram from the adjutant, and Wucheng suffered heavy casualties.

"The Japanese feigned surrender, and Wu Zhongwei fell for it."

"Idiot!" The teacher scolded, and he slapped the table with his hand, "Where's He Junyu?"

"He Junyu is still in Rongcheng."

"Immediately send a telegram to ask He Junyu to go to Xingyuan. It's fine if Wucheng can't defend it, but Wencheng must be defended by me!"

"Yes!"

The adjutant walked out of the base camp, and the division seat sat back on the chair. His back was still straight but his face could not conceal the decadence. This war came too suddenly. If...

Tightly close your eyes and then open them again, Shizuo's eyes are full of determination, without any doubts.In the war of national subjugation and genocide, they can only win but not lose, even if it takes a lot of bones to win, it will not hesitate.

He Junyu walked into Qianze Mountain with his men. All of his men had been on the battlefield, and they could adapt well even in the steep terrain.

Contrary to what he thought, they had already entered the mountain and they still didn't encounter any ambushes. This group of bandits was too arrogant.

Thinking of this, a trace of contempt flashed in He Junyu's eyes.He already had complete assurance that if Gu Jinting was still alive, he would be able to bring Gu Jinting back home.

"General." The soldier who went to inspect the road returned, he clasped his fists and said, "We found the body of the Japanese in front."

"General, there are wreckage of mines not far away." The soldier who was exploring the way in the other direction also came back.

When He Junyu heard what the two of them said, his originally relaxed expression became serious. When did the Japanese sneak into Yuzhou but no one knew?If he hadn't come to Qianze Mountain, what would have happened here... He Junyu didn't dare to think too much.

"Go and notify the chief in Yuzhou and be on guard." He Junyu said to the adjutant.

"Yes." The adjutant didn't say much, he hurried down the mountain, there was already a fight outside, there was no time to waste at this time.

Walking to the place where the body of the Japanese was found, He Junyu saw the knife mark on the neck of one of the Japanese at a glance.

Who else can kill the Japanese here?He Junyu withdrew his previous thought of despising the bandits in Qianzeshan, at least the bandits did nothing wrong in front of big right and wrong.

What He Junyu didn't notice was that behind a tree a hundred meters away from them, a figure disappeared.

A group of big men in the hall are sitting around making rice dumplings. Such a rare scene can only be seen in Qianzezhai, but even so, the rice dumplings made by those careless men are also delicate and beautiful.

Gu Jinting is a man who doesn't stick to the spring water. At first he wanted to help Gu Qianjue, but he couldn't help it because he was clumsy. Gu Qianjue had reed leaves and rice in his palm. When he came to Gu Qianjue's place It's a mess, either this corner is loose, or that corner is leaking again.

In the end, Gu Jinting gave up the difficult job of making zongzi, and just sat next to Gu Qianjue and arranged the reed leaves for him.

"Brother." A thin man trotted into the hall, "A group of officers and soldiers have gone up the mountain."

"Officers and soldiers?" Gu Qianjue's hands stopped slightly, but soon he started to move again, "What are the officers and soldiers here for? We will always keep our own place." After speaking, a zongzi was wrapped.

"I don't know either. They walked on the mountain for a long time and made marks along the way." The thin man continued.

"What's the matter, the county magistrate of Yuzhou is finally planning to wipe us out?" Gu Qianjue sneered, "Grandpa doesn't fear any officials or soldiers these days."

It's not that the governor of Yuzhou didn't send troops to Qianze Mountain before, but just because this group of people were too fierce, and the suppression campaigns went to nothing, the governor finally let them go. Open one eye and close one eye.

"What's the difference between those officers and soldiers?" Compared to what Gu Qianjue and Gu Jinting thought, just after Gu Qianjue killed two Japanese people, there were officers and soldiers going up the mountain. no.

If it’s Yuzhou officers and soldiers who come, it’s okay, but if it’s Japanese...

"The difference..." The thin man turned his head to think back, and suddenly his eyes lit up as if thinking of something, "Yes, they all have red cloth tied around their waists and wrists."

"Red cloth? This also invited foreign aid." Gu Qianjue, an officer and soldier of Yuzhou, had dealt with them a lot, but he had never seen any officer and soldier of Yuzhou so festive.

Gu Jinting and Gu Jinwan had been exchanging letters until Gu Jinwan got married. Gu Jinting knew that his brother-in-law was a general and had his own army, and there was nothing to hide between the two of them. Wan also told Gu Jinting a lot about He Junyu's army, and he didn't hide anything else, let alone everyone who had seen He Junyu's army knew about it.

Only this team will wear red cords around the waist and wrists.

This is to find him?Gu Jinting slowly clenched his hands, he couldn't find any other reason why He Junyu would go up the mountain.

But... If He Junyu really came to look for him, Gu Jinting showed a hesitant look on his face. He really wanted to see Gu Jinwan, but he didn't want to leave Gu Qianjue either.

Gu Jinting knew that if he returned to Gu's house this time, he might never see Gu Qianjue again.

"Jinting, what's the matter?" Sensing that something was wrong with Gu Jinting, Gu Qianjue asked worriedly.

"I..." Gu Jinting looked at Gu Qianjue, he bit his lower lip and didn't know how to speak to him.

After a moment of silence, Gu Jinting closed his eyes and let out a breath. After making a certain decision, he opened his eyes and said word by word: "Those people may be looking for me."

"Looking for you? Is it the Gu family?" Gu Qianjue felt something was wrong after finishing speaking. If the Gu family really wanted to find Gu Jinting, how could they delay until today? He met Gu Jinting, but he would never forget what those people were up to, they wanted the young master to die.

"It's my brother-in-law." Gu Jinting shook his head. Gu Jinwan is already married and can no longer be called the Gu family, "I joined Rongcheng He's family many years ago. I think it was my sister who asked them to come find me."

"Jinting." Hearing different emotions from Gu Jinting's tone, Gu Qianjue held his hand nervously, he was really afraid that Gu Jinting would leave with those people and never come back.

"Don't worry." Holding Gu Qianjue's hand reassuringly, Gu Jinting said, "I will never leave you." He looked at Gu Qianjue and smiled.

Looking at Gu Qianjue with a smile in his eyes, Gu Jinting slowly leaned into his ear, "Tell me that I'm already married to you."

Hearing these words, there was a bang in Gu Qianjue's head, like fireworks blooming, all his worries disappeared for a moment, and all the uneasiness and worries were calmed down by Gu Jinting's simple words.

But having said that, He Junyu has already arrived here, Gu Jinting has to see him, so that He Junyu can see that he is safe and sound, so that Gu Jinwan can feel at ease.

"I want to meet my brother-in-law." Gu Jinting asked Gu Qianjue.

Knowing Gu Jinting's thoughts, Gu Qianjue did not refuse, he nodded, "I'll go with you." After speaking, Gu Qianjue looked at the thin man, "Lead the way."

"Hey!" The skinny man responded hastily.

Gu Qianjue took Gu Jinting's hand and walked out of the hall to go outside the village.

Knowing that he could no longer see his eldest brother, the bandits who had been serving as the background in the hall all stopped their movements at the same time, looking at me and looking at you.

"Is this still our eldest brother?" They all saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

They didn't expect that the elder brother who could mercilessly raise a knife to cut the neck of a Japanese was so gentle in front of his wife. This is probably the tenderness of the iron man in the storybook.
