Independence Corps

Chapter 30: Chivalry and Tenderness (2)
Bi Chuanyun said truthfully: "The Red Fan Group really lives up to its reputation, and I, Bi Chuanyun, feel deeply ashamed."

"Don't speak so harshly. Compared with our 72nd regiment, her reputation is still a bit weaker. Isn't this too much, Captain Liu?"

Liu Mier smiled brightly: "How dare you compare with Commander Shen, my place is at best a small vegetable garden, as long as the two chiefs don't dislike it, I, Liu Mier, will be content."

"Hahahaha." Shen Mengzi let out a burst of laughter, Bi Chuanyun heard it, but felt that there was obviously an element of concealment in that smile.

The three of them talked and laughed as they walked past the training ground, passed through a round gate, and saw a row of red corridor tile houses.On such a steep mountain, Liu Mi'er was able to build such a magnificent row of tile-roofed houses, which shows how capable he is.

"Look at the political commissar, isn't it richer than the headquarters of our army?" Shen Mengzi was extremely happy today, all the worries and fears in his mind when he came here were all dispelled by Liu Mi'er's smiling face.It's no wonder that Liu Mi'er's attire today, with her bright smile, is more effective than the sunshine in early spring.The old saying is true, people are refreshed on happy occasions, and for Shen Mengzi, seeing this delicate and charming face that has appeared countless times in his dreams is a great joy.

"Head Liu is really a strange person, he is so generous!" Bi Chuanyun exclaimed.

Liu Mi'er blushed a little shyly, and bowed to invite the two into the hall.The moment he entered the door, Bi Chuanyun turned around and took a look. Mi Xia and Xiaomi Tang were far behind, chatting and laughing at a dead tree.

This kid is popular no matter where he goes.Bi Chuanyun muttered in his heart.

Liu Mi'er told Shen Mengzi that she had also heard of the legendary "Ghost Seeing Sorrow".When the old commander Tu Zhucheng was alive, he told her more than once.In the opinion of the old commander Tu Zhucheng, this way may not be a big deal to others, but it must be taken seriously to military strategists.Unfortunately, she didn't find this way, and neither did the old commander Tu Zhucheng.

"Those who know this way, apart from the porters back then, are the caravan leader Meng Daguanzi and Bai Laoheng's second son Bai Jianxiong. Meng Daguanzi has been dead for many years, and Bai Laoheng's second son has also returned to the island country .” Liu Mier said.

"You mean Masao Kurano?"

Liu Mi'er nodded: "The trouble is with this person. I think it's because of this way that the little devil arrested Miss Si."

In a word, the hearts of several people in the room became heavier.Liu Mi'er saw that Shen Mengzi and the others were all gloomy, so he adjusted the atmosphere and said: "Why are you pulling your face? Even if there is no such way, the little devils will still attack the mountain. If Captain Shen is afraid, he will simply pull the 72 regiment away." Come here, Niangniang Mountain is very big." After she finished speaking, she secretly smiled.

"Afraid?" Shen Mengzi seemed to be insulted, "I said big sister, I didn't come here to make you laugh, your Empress Mountain may be more vulnerable to bombing than my Huajialing."

Liu Mi'er's heart moved, and Shen Mengzi called her big sister, which made her face burn. This was the first time he called her big sister, and it was in front of so many people.Her eyes flickered a few times, she lowered her eyes in embarrassment, and said playfully, "The dignified commander of the 72nd regiment can't even listen to jokes."

After saying this, Shen Mengzi blushed instead, and the atmosphere in the room relaxed, not as tense as before.It's right to think about it, even if there is no "Ghost Seeing Sorrow", Little Japan will still throw shells on the mountain, and hit it as he wants, it is useless to think about it.

Shen Mengzi and the others failed to return to Huajialing that night, but Liu Mier refused to let them go.After discussing the business, Liu Mi'er asked Mi Xia and the others to bring a jar of "Daughter Red".Liu Mi'er took out five big bowls, poured them one by one, and picked up a bowl first: "I, Liu Mier, have been on the mountain for so long, and Niangniang Mountain has never had any distinguished guests. Three great guests came, and Niangniang Mountain became more and more prosperous. Mi Er offers a bowl of wine to the three of you."

Bi Chuanyun hurriedly said: "It's getting late, and we should say goodbye too. Let's skip the wine today, shall we?"

"Could it be that Commissar Bi looks down on my fans?"

"Don't you dare? Hearing Captain Liu's words today, Chuanyun suddenly understood, but this wine..." Bi Chuanyun looked at Shen Mengzi in embarrassment.

Shen Mengzi picked up the bowl: "I respect the brothers and sisters of the Hongfentuan for this wine. It is the blessing of my 72nd regiment to be able to fight devils with the Hongfentuan. Come on, Chuanyun, finish this wine!" I poured it down first.Seeing his boldness, Liu Mi'er blushed and drank the wine happily.

Xiaomi Tang looked at Mi Xia timidly, for fear that Mi Xia would compete with him.Mi Xia picked up the bowl and looked at him provocatively: "Drink, aren't you good at bragging?"

What Mi Xia was talking about was just now, when Liu Mier and Shen Mengzi were discussing how to deploy troops and work together to deal with the invading enemy, Mi Xia pulled him and looked inside and out.When they arrived at the wine shop in the backyard, Mi Xia showed off that the daughter's red wine brewed by them was fragrant for thousands of miles, and said that the old commander Tu Zhucheng loved to drink the daughter's red wine brewed on the mountain.Millet Tang bragged without thinking: "As for your wine, I can drink two jars of millet soup in one go. Compared with the sorghum red from my hometown, it is far behind."

I didn't expect Mi Xia to remember these words, so she deliberately made a fool of him this time.The millet soup has grown so big, and he hasn't been in the wine yet, and when he smells it, he wants to vomit.

"Why, are you afraid?" Mi Xia had already drank her own bowl. The sisters on the mountain can not only brew, but also drink.

Xiaomi soup took a few steps back, and pitifully asked Shen Mengzi for help.

"You're bragging, call her sister, and forgive you." Shen Mengzi said.

"It's a good idea, it's useless to call it anything. If you don't drink this wine today, you can't get out of this door." Mi Xia deliberately stood in front of Xiaomi Tang, staring aggressively at Xiaomi Tang who was a head shorter than her.

"Drink it as soon as you drink it, scare anyone!" Xiaomi soup said and picked up the bowl, before Shen Mengzi could stop him, he had already poured the wine into his stomach.

"Good drinker!" Liu Mi'er said exaggeratedly, filled up the wine again, and touched Bi Chuanyun and Shen Mengzi.

Shen Mengzi couldn't resist the wine and beauty, thinking that drinking a few bowls would not delay the matter.Unexpectedly, Liu Mi'er was scheming, the wine was strong.When I realized something was wrong, my stomach was overwhelmed and my body was sweating.Looking at Liu Mi'er again, the shadow was hazy, so blurred that people couldn't move their eyes away.The cheeks stained red by the wine clearly revealed a kind of passion, a kind of loneliness or sadness of a daughter's family.It's strange, how could Shen Mengzi think that she was lonely, she clearly lived a freer and more interesting life than him?Liu Mi'er was also infected by Shen Mengzi's bewildered gaze, a red cloud appeared on her forehead again, her brows flowed, her pink face was covered with black, and there seemed to be thousands of amorous feelings in it.How can Shen Mengzi bear this? He has spent half his life dealing with elders. Apart from gunfire, what he sees most in his eyes is the roughness and strength of men. Today he was disturbed by Liu Mier's style, and his heart, It was as chaotic as 15 rabbits fighting, restless.

"Don't drink, don't drink." He said so, but his hand greedily reached into the wine jar, and scooped up another bowl of Nurhong.Bi Chuanyun was even more drunk than him, and had already collapsed on the chair, unable to open his eyes.Looking at the millet soup, it was even worse. Mi Xia had already vomited it into the yard with the help of Mi Xia.

When the sun went down, Liu Mi'er asked the kitchen to bring sour plum soup to sober up. The millet soup couldn't be drunk, and he would vomit after drinking it, so let him sleep for a while.Bi Chuanyun struggled to drink a bowl, feeling less jittery, still talking about going down the mountain, but his legs didn't obey.Shen Mengzi fell asleep and felt much better. He was thinking about his brothers on the mountain and insisted on going down the mountain.Liu Mier stared at him almond-shaped: "If you want to go, go, I won't keep you." In a word, his legs couldn't move again.

The dinner was very sumptuous. Liu Mier specially asked the kitchen to slaughter a sheep and stewed delicious braised pork. Before the dishes were served on the table, the millet soup was overturned: "There is meat—" Liu Mier They laughed at the same time as Mi Xia, how did they know that the 72nd regiment on the mountain hadn't smelled meat for several months.

The three of them let go of their stomachs and had a hard meal.The millet soup still didn't satisfy his cravings, so he insisted that sister Mi Xia played tricks, and if he didn't get drunk, he could still eat an extra pig's trotter.Liu Mi'er felt sorry for this little one, and promised to take two with him when he left.

"Bring a few more, anyway, there are pigs on your mountain." Xiaomitang said greedily.

Mi Xia chuckled, she had had enough of millet soup, and the rest was love like her own sister.

Shen Mengzi and the others didn't know that the sisters in Niangniang Mountain were suffering.They can bear to say that they are bandits or robbers, anyway, they didn't commit murder and arson to sorry for their ancestors.What is unbearable is the pain and sin in my heart.Mi Xia escaped from marriage. Her father owed someone gambling debts and couldn't repay them, so he gave her to others.The opponent is more than 50, not only an old gambler, but also an old villain.How could Mi Xia ruin her life in the hands of such villains, so she had no choice but to go up the mountain.Last year her father died, died of illness, Mi Xia has no relatives now, Liu Mi'er is her biological sister in her heart.Like Mi Xia, there are no less than half of them on the mountain, and the other half, although they are not escaping marriage, all of them have hidden secrets and have unavoidable difficulties.

As for Liu Mi'er, she is tired of this kind of life of occupying the mountain as king, and she has long thought of letting the girls go down the mountain and find their own homes.But it's hard, it's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to go down the mountain. After eating a bowl of food from bandits, if they want to go back to be good women, I'm afraid that in this life, no one will return their innocence.In the winter of the previous year, the old commander Tu Zhucheng wanted to incorporate the Red Fan Group, and Liu Mier was happy, at least this way they could get rid of the stigma of bandits.Unexpectedly, everything has been discussed, and they waited to choose a date to hold the ceremony, but suddenly something happened.Some people spread rumors that Liu Mi'er wanted to be Tu Zhucheng's concubine, and wanted to bring hundreds of girls from the fan group to the commander of the 11th Army Division to be his juniors!

"I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you. These years, I've been devastated." It was already night, and the faint moonlight covered the entire village, casting a layer of haze on Niangniang Mountain.Liu Mi'er and Shen Mengzi strolled under the moonlight, Mi Xia and the three girls followed far behind, guarding them.

"It's said that the eldest sister is an upright person, stronger than us gentlemen, who would have thought that you would also have a pain in your heart." Shen Mengzi let out a long hiss, feeling pity in his heart.

"Indomitable, if you put these words on you men, it's a compliment, but if you put them on us women, it's a waste."

"Sister, don't say that."

"I'm not telling lies. Which woman is willing to be a thief. Seeing those women who live happily with men, I can't even move my legs. It's a pity that I don't have that blessing in my life."

"It's hard to say, good days are yet to come."

"Good day?" Liu Mi'er smiled bitterly, smoothed her hair that was blown by the mountain wind, and sighed, "To tell you the truth, Brother Shen, when you first arrived in Huajialing, I really wanted to disband the red powder group. Calling back and forth, getting bored and scared."

"Then why didn't you disband?" Shen Mengzi stopped and looked back at Liu Mi'er.It was the first time he heard this, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Liu Mi'er sighed again, and said with a mournful smile: "The little devil won't let me go, if I break up, brother Shen will lose a gun?"

Shen Mengzi felt a surge in his heart, his eyes fixed on Liu Mi'er warmly for a long time, and then moved away abruptly.A gust of wind blows, and Shen Mengzi's alcoholism disappears.At this moment, he seemed to have a thousand words to say to the woman in front of him, but where did he start?

Liu Mier could naturally feel his eagerness.Liu Mi'er originally didn't have a man in her heart, and she really didn't.If it wasn't for the hatred for men, she wouldn't be able to go up the mountain and be a bandit; if it wasn't for the hatred for men, she wouldn't be able to attract so many girls.But at this moment, her heart was beating, very violently.In fact, from the day Lao Yingzui met Shen Mengzi, her daughter's heart was beating.Over the years, it was the old commander Tu who resolved the hatred in her heart, allowing her to accommodate men in her heart.It was also under the indoctrination of Commander Tu that she realized that there are several types of men in the world, not all of them are villains, not all of them are hooligans.Niangniang Mountain, this is where the Tiger Camp came into being.But that was another feeling, different from Shen Mengzi's.

She didn't know what attracted her to Shen Mengzi, he was an ordinary man after all, but she felt strange and had thoughts about him.Maybe it's his ignorance, his straightforwardness, or his rumors about the turmoil.Mr. Tu also said that since ancient times, a hero deserves a beauty, so don't worry, one day, she will meet a man who makes her fall in love.She laughed it off at the time, thinking that in this life, she would never be tempted by any man, let alone...

But this man obviously fascinated her.She gave a "puchi" smile, scolding herself in her heart, being mean and flirty, and wanting to cuddle in his arms.

At the thought of "in my bosom", her eyes became blurred, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, and her heart was overwhelmed.These years, it's not easy for her. A woman is a woman after all. She can't support the sky, the ground, or the sun and the moon. It's great to have such a strong shoulder to lean on.

But she thought again, she was still not sure what to think, he was the famous head of the 72 regiment!I heard that when General Fu served under General Fu, the concubine of the head of the regiment fell in love with him and insisted on following him, even bringing him all the gold and silver.In the end, he told General Fu about it, causing the woman to have a dream for nothing, and finally committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.

This kind of man is afraid of being ruthless.

Forget it, it's useless to think about it, let's discuss with him how to fight this battle.

Liu Mi'er put away her thoughts and talked to him about the war.Later when they talked about Tu Lanlong, Shen Mengzi suddenly asked: "He watched Tan Weiming being beaten and never let go of a single shot. What did he feel at ease?"

Liu Mi'er shook her head, she had asked herself the same question repeatedly, and later she understood that Tu Lanlong was not Tu Zhucheng, this person had a lot of pimples in his heart, and it might not be so easy to expect him to send troops.

"Could it be that he really suspected that Old Tan killed the old commander?" Shen Mengzi asked again.

One sentence touched Liu Mi'er's sore spot, but in fact, the death of Old Commander Tu brought her even more pain.Who would have known that three years ago, she was almost encircled by several of Commander Yan's troops. If the old commander hadn't played around and forced Commander Yan to retreat, the Niangniang Mountain would have been scorched, and her sisters would not be settled. What will happen.

She also secretly investigated the death of the old commander. Although she still can't determine who was responsible for it, she firmly believes that this matter has nothing to do with Tan Weiming, nor does it have anything to do with Shopkeeper Sun of Hengtong Rice Store.But Tu Lanlong killed Shopkeeper Sun!Borrowing a knife to kill someone is a trick that the old commander Tu doesn't know how to do, but Tu Lanlong does it without showing any signs of it!She didn't say anything, but she was thinking in her heart, Tan Weiming's life is more dangerous than good!Perhaps, the day when the entire 12th Division was wiped out was the day when Tu Lanlong shot at the little devil!
It was precisely because of this consideration that she managed to keep Shen Mengzi and Bi Chuanyun behind.There was a worry that she couldn't say that Liu Mi'er was on Tu Lanlong's blacklist, and he blamed the old commander's death on some people who shouldn't be blamed!She even suspected that the devil in Hongshuigou was deliberately attracted by someone, with the purpose of killing her, Liu Mi'er!Of course, Shen Mengzi was also included in the blacklist.She and Shen Mengzi are grasshoppers on the same tree!
Thinking of this, Liu Mier couldn't help but shudder!

What do you mean by a dead lip and a cold tooth? Now the two of them have been forced to a dead end by Little Japan and Tu Lanlong.If you don't join hands, no one wants to live.

Lore!Old Commander Tu told her more than one such story!
It was only later that Shen Mengzi felt that he stayed very correctly that night.If it hadn't been for such a night of heart-to-heart talks with Liu Mi'er, what happened to the 72nd regiment would have been a hundred times, a thousand times worse than what happened later.

Of course, what was left for him this night was still love, honey, her breath like blue, and her lingering eyes, warm gaze!But the next day, when he returned to Huajialing, a piece of shocking news immediately made him regret his decision last night. How could he stay in Niangniang Mountain?

Bai Jianjiang ran away!
Last night Bai Jianjiang made a fuss about drinking, Lao Luan couldn't get along with him, so he had to give him a jug of wine that Shen Mengzi brought from Liu Ji.

The wine was given by Tan Weiming, the authentic "Nur Hong", which is much better than the one made by Liu Mi'er from Niangniang Mountain.Lao Luan doesn't drink at all, but he sympathizes with Bai Jianjiang in his heart.Shen Mengzi shut Bai Jianjiang into confinement, and he even spoke for Bai Jianjiang, but Bai Jianjiang made Shen Mengzi anxious, and his pleading didn't work.He brought the wine to Bai Jianjiang, half teasing and half comforting: "I said that the second head of the family is only a woman, is it worth playing wild with the brothers?"

"Don't fart, you don't have to worry about my affairs!" Bai Jianjiang now sees whoever bites, and he doesn't even accept old chaos.

"Okay, okay, I don't fart, I'll go, kindly exchange a donkey's liver and lungs, I'm unlucky." Lao Luan muttered, and really went to chat with the sixth battalion commander Lan Xiaoshi.In the middle, Shi Run rushed in rashly, saying that he had obtained reliable information that two of the second soldiers in the new third regiment that had been dispersed by the Japanese army were captured by the little devils.Always scolding him, isn't it just two second-rate soldiers, what's the fuss, isn't it that the little devil has never captured anyone?Shi Run said that was not the case. One of the two second-rate soldiers was named Fan Mazi. He used to be a puppet soldier. Later, he was scattered by the Eighth Route Army during the Liuhe encirclement and annihilation battle. He joined the New Third Regiment.

"Hey, what are you going to say?" Lao Luan scolded impatiently, no matter what happened to Shi Run, Lao Luan still looked down on him desperately.

"Fan Mazi, Fan Mazi knows that way!" Shi Run cried, and then he said the most important thing.

"Crap, how many people can't find it, but Fan Mazi came out, and he found it?" Although Lao Luan was cursing, he picked up the gun vigilantly, and subconsciously stepped out.

"Fan Mazi's father used to be a porter for Meng Daguanzi, and that family is not authentic." Shi Run chased him out and said after the old messy ass.

"What are you talking about, let's go."

Lao Luan was also fooled by Shi Run's words, and he took dozens of people and ran for more than ten miles to Lingnan in one go. It seemed that Shi Run's words meant that Little Japan really came.When you are sure that there is no abnormality, you will return.As soon as he arrived on the mountain, he was still out of breath, when he heard the report from the sentinel, Bai Jianjiang ran away.

Bai Jianjiang drunk the two recruits who guarded him, and took advantage of the chaos to go down the mountain!

"Where did he go?" Shen Mengzi asked sharply.

"Where else can I go, let's go find him a good friend." Lao Luan said dejectedly.

"Four girls?"

The old man nodded heavily.
