Chapter 10 chapter Ten

The crooked man has started training the gun team; for those peasants who have been pulling ox tails and stepping on dung all year round, teach them how to calculate distance, determine the archway (note: that is the ruler of the rifle), and how to aim at the head through the round hole in the door Well, that's harder than anything else, their usual habit is to straighten things out, turn their guns around and walk straight away, the concept that whoever the fuck hits them will be ordered to let go, he has to use the old method, Feed them one by one with their mouths open, like feeding a nest of featherless yellow-billed idiots (note: the name of the bird), pointing at the sky and the ground, gesticulating and gesticulating until they understand it.

The muzzle fires and the fence is big, but there is no need to be afraid.When firing a foreign gun, there is only one line when the gun comes out of the chamber, unlike a large piece of the gun that comes out of the chamber!At any rate, it all depends on the exact word. This is like a goat using its horns. If you can see clearly and aim accurately, you will hit the target with just one horn!If you close your eyes blindly, wouldn't it be chaotic? !Crooked Hu Lai'er said to those new to using foreign guns: firing a gun is like practicing bow and arrow in the previous court.The left hand is like holding a mountain in front, the right hand is stretched flat against the machine ring, and the butt of the gun is tightly pressed against the collarbone in the shoulder socket.Before firing the gun, take a breath, exhale slowly, and hold the breath until three minutes later.Once the posture is well practiced, learn the aiming line. The archway should be a small round hole in the center. If you insist on not crooked, not inclined, up and down, the center of the crosshair will appear. Where the crosshair falls, the bullet will go!

There was a stupid guy in my class earlier, who didn't know how to shoot a gun, and he hit it with the butt of the gun on his stomach.With that kind of fighting style, even a ghost hair can't hit half of it. Liuzhier Guilong has a keen mind, and once Waihu Leier instructed him, he learned how to shoot a pistol.Crooked Hu Lai'er taught him: to use a short spear, the big arm must be steady, the forearm must be flexible, heart to hand, hand to heart, both sides are close to you to throw fire, if you have no time, let you aim slowly, your fingers should be soft when pressing the fire, If you push too hard, you will die!When splashing fire, the body of the gun always has to be a little sideways. In the early years, I saw an official practicing a box gun. His wrist was not stable when he was splashing fire. Two bullets from a box of bullets hit his own feet!

In the chilling autumn, Crooked Hu's heart is warm.No one knew what he was thinking in his heart: the area behind the enemy lines is not only a place in Zedi, but also like meat on a chopping board.Not to mention flesh and blood, even the bones can't bear to chop.Crooked Hu Manile saw this clearly, and he wanted to train Zedi's gun team into a hard bone. No matter how fast your knife is, you will have to roll your mouth if you want to chop it up.He is also a rough man, who doesn't understand the profound connotation in the tragic and magnificent act of sacrifice. The inner feelings of an unknown hero are often direct, and they themselves contain incomparable tragedy and desolation.He loves Lunan, the home mountain in the dark, and also loves other things.The storm swept him down and came to the wilderness on the east bank of Hongze Lake. He joined with these people in front of him to meet the fate together. He knew that fate was hopeless, but he did not believe in evil and violence. He wanted to fight!

Before long, his opportunity came.However, he didn't pay much attention to the fact that its opponent wasn't the Devil Eight Routes, but the horse thief Fatty Lu pulled over from Hongnidunzi.At dusk that day, Waihu Mani'er was gathering the gun team in the house to talk about the sentry. He heard that the east side of the bunker must slip, and it must slip. Three shots were fired into the air. The sound of the guns was high-pitched. in. The gun team in the fort was a little unsteady, guessing one after another, and planned to pick up the guns and go up to the fort tower, but just as they wanted to move, they were stopped by Waihu Mani'er.

I forgot to teach you to listen to the sound of gunshots. He said: No matter which school the other party is from, you don’t need to meet, as long as he fires the gun, I will know it! I do not believe.Shi Qi said: Unless you have a magic algorithm!Tell me, who came from this burst of gunshots? ! Do not believe it?Hehehe Waihu Lai'er smiled like nothing happened: This is the horse thief, Fatty Lu, the sound of the gunshot is correct, I heard it a few years ago, it was Ma Guaier.Ma Guaier rang three times in the sky, it was the signal for Fatty Lu to deliver the letter. Shi Qi endured it; the words "Fatty Lu" hit him like a stone, reminding him of the blood pile left by the horse thief.If it was true that horse thieves came to Zedi, he said: "Some of them started the fire. They broke into the bunker last time, and they died and left blood piles. They want to take revenge."

Everyone is the same as Shi Qi, I heard that Fatty Lu, his heart is sinking, the air in the room is heavy, and if no one speaks, he just freezes there.Still He Kuozui pouted his irrelevant lips, and said hesitantly: "Way, wretch, old man!"How do you know it's Fatty Lu? ! When I was in the standing brigade leading the horse class, Fatty Lu was in the middle of the counties of Fengfeng Xiaodang.Crooked Hu Lai'er said: "The superior sent me to recruit him many times, but he sniffed and slipped away!"I know how many hairs there are on his tail, but now that he's grown up, I don't know if I can hold him down!If you don't believe me, look, he must leave a letter.

Just as he was talking, Father Shi came in with a letter in his hand. Here comes the matter!Father Shi said to Waihu Lai'er, "This is a letter left by a horse thief, and he made a stick to poke it on the tree at the head of the village."The letter said that he wanted Tubao to hand over all the guns and guns, and leave the bottom line of the cellar. When the sun sets tomorrow night, he sent people to release the horses to collect the money and collect the guns. At the mouth of the Tulong River, cross the river as soon as you hear the gunshot, and enter the castle without leaving any chickens or dogs behind

Crooked Hu Lai'er propped up the table with one hand, stood up from the jujube wood bench, said with a sneer, "We can beat all kinds of devils, do you care about the little Fatty Lu?"Each of you picks up the guns you want to shoot, add some oil to lubricate the barrels, pull them up to the polder wall, let people look out on the top of the fort in turn, I will let the horses out to watch the terrain, and fight him alone tomorrow night! Crooked man, you must not take Fatty Lu lightly.Father Shi said: He is the fiercest and fiercest bandit in the bandits. It is no big deal to run along his hair. A group of people invaded the bunker, we planted him, and this time he comes back, he is bound to fight hard, he shoots fast, we have to stick to the bunker, you can't be careless.

Dad was right.The oil worker Biantou also persuaded: You are a reassurance, you are a reassurance. With you, everyone in the fort will be at ease. He can't enter the house even if he fights.If you just go out of the polder wall and let the guns blow, the fort will be in chaos first! No matter what other people said, Waihu Lai'er still shook his head and said: I'm not used to this kind of toad guarding the cave, I'd rather just take one or two people out and fight with them.Just to tell you straight, I still want to include him! The whole bunker is busy. The next day the sun turned west again

Inside the bunker, almost every eye is looking at the sun anxiously; every inch the sun goes down, people's hearts also go down an inch.The shadow of the earthen castle was gradually elongated, falling on the ridge tiles to the east.The women and children gathered in the basement of the West Courtyard, also talking about Fatty Lu with terrified voices. If crooked mangy is a dragon, Fatty Lu is just a tiger in the eyes of the people in the northern counties. His life experience in the first half is a mystery. More than a hundred salt trucks forced their way into the Huaihe River, with shovels in the salt baskets and short guns in the cover boxes. The sound of the axles could be heard all the way for two or three miles. Wherever they passed, the anti-smuggling team gave way. Within a few years, Lu Bang's salt trucks became famous.After the success of the Northern Expedition, many gangsters who were oppressed by life dispersed, Fatty Lu also disappeared for several years, until after the devils came, his name appeared on the rivers and lakes again, and he became the number one in the Northern Bandits. number one.In terms of number of horses, he didn't lead many, but in terms of marksmanship and fierceness against fire, no one could match him.The devil lives in the city, he dares to rob a fake bank in broad daylight, thousands of people are stationed in the White Horse Temple on the Eighth Route, and he dares to steal granaries nearby.But he also set fire to castles and plundered villages and towns. If the place did not resist him, he only needed a certain amount of silver, and got the money to let his horse go on the road; if the place resisted him, he killed people without even remembering the number.This makes him a savage, incomprehensible figure, as if he were born a gangster, half heroic, half cruel, but as inhuman as a piece of iron. Old man Shi disapproved of Crooked Hu Lai'er's recruitment of such a person. Shi Lun, an old man, was magnanimous in other matters, but he didn't agree with horse thieves and bandits.Waihu Lai'er led Liuzhi'er Guilong, Shi Qi, and Erhei'er to lead the white horse and mule out of the fort. I said, crooked fool!You got it wrong!Thieves like Fatty Lu are heartless!They must have a heart, and they will be bandits at this time of national crisis?Isn't it enough for devils to ride on people's heads?Want them to take advantage of the fire? !If he had the heart to change his ways, he would have changed a long time ago, and would he wait until today?These things should lay down eighteen layers of hell after death, and become flat-haired beasts in the next life! Crooked Hu Lai'er pondered for a while, then said slowly: "Father, I know what you mean, maybe I've had enough of the devil's anger, and I believe that there are only two things in the world that cannot be enlightened."Fatty Lu is different from Scar Liu Wu and Chen Kunwu, the stalker. He doesn't buy into the devils. It can be seen that he still has a bit of backbone. People in the underworld since ancient times, most of them blame the officials. I haven't met a master who convinced him. I want to recruit him, but I just have such an idea in my heart. Whether it will be possible or not, no matter what, tonight I want to dampen his fire and shatter his prestige. Seeing that the sun was about to rise to the top of the mountain, crooked mangy's white horse whistled up behind the earthen castle, and Jing Jiahong's cockroach went up, four guns deployed.The terrain near the Shijia Tubao is in his heart; the Tubao faces east three miles in Pingyang, a desolate path passes through the sparse forest, and goes north along the Ghost Pond. Half a mile to the north of Jiatubao; starting from Hongyan, heading south all the way down the slope, like a dustpan for rolling beans.If the horse thief's sentry horse comes to Shijia Tubao, he will never gallop through the depression in the south of the ghost pond, where the forest is too dense; nor will he take the narrow path in the north of the ghost pond, for fear that someone will set up a secret attack with a gun.Crooked Hu Lai'er decided that they would lead their horses past Jingjiahong's Hongxin, take the road to the back of the earthen castle, first occupy the high ground in Hongyi, and then send someone into the castle to speak. After the horse thief who delivered the letter left the day before, he was on the sand I have followed the horseshoe prints. They strangled the section of Jingjiahong, which is the narrowest part of the whole river; the red clay and black steel sand mixed soil layer was washed by the rapids, and it stood steeply, and the cliff was full of horizontal water teeth, rising for a It is six or seven feet high, and dozens of bow willows are planted in a row on the bay. The willow branches with fallen leaves are still swaying on the narrow roof, cutting the narrow strip of skylight. You are all watching.Crooked Hu Lai'er put his hand on the handle of the gun and said to the three: "Tonight I will teach you how to prepare for battle!"The horse thief considers himself shrewd and tough, and is used to walking on the back road, so we will wait for him at the back corner!The mules and horses were all tied up in the thickets of Hongxia, and we lay in ambush separately!The horse thief passed through this area, and Hongdier was too narrow to hold a pole. He could not turn his horse's head, and he couldn't let his horse go forward. You follow my orders and catch his sentinel alive first! What if the horse thief doesn't go here?Shi Qi said, then don't we just wait for nothing? ! Even if he didn't walk here, the crooked man pointed back and pointed at the slope: "Here is condescending, no matter where he goes, we can't miss it. They don't attack the bunker. They jump at the bunker. We stick our guns in the slant." His lower back! Er Hei'er admired: "Crooked Hu Lai, no wonder you were able to subdue Liu Wu and kill Shan Yao. You are one of the Five Tigers to meet Zhuge Liang. You can do everything in civil and military affairs. Last time Su Dahuner attacked the earth fortress, if you were here, So many people will never die. Don't insult the saints.Crooked Hu Lai'er said: "Zhang Fei, the butcher, also knows how to drag a tree with a horse's tail to repel the enemy soldiers. What am I?"Can it be compared with those ancient people who worshiped generals and became marquises? !I'm just a crooked melon who can't be beaten to death! They lay down in the haze The birds have returned to their nests, the sunset glow is burnt to a touch of purple, and the whole field is dyed with such a bleak color.Liuzhier Guilong put his ears on the ground, he heard a slight vibration coming from a distance, it was the hooves of horses. They really came!He said to Er Hei'er who was lying nearby. A clever algorithm!Er Hei'er said with a trembling voice. Guilong stopped talking, and he pulled up the machine head of the box gun. The sound of horseshoes is getting closer and closer, turning the corner, the shadows of people and horses emerge in the dark light at the bottom of the lake, one, two, three, and the last one is a bay red and black mule, they Holding on to the reins, he slowly approached the narrow path.Liuzhier Guilong saw clearly that the horse thief in the head was a big man with broad shoulders and narrow waist, wearing a four-tile hat, and his waist and eyes were wrapped with red silk eight or nine inches wide. Holding a pistol, it is obvious that he has the ability to use both left and right bows and use the gun with both hands.The blue-gray and white horse, with a bright saddle rein, raised its head from time to time, sniffing slightly, and that kind of air added to the majesty of the rider.The two horses have white money spots in their black coats, but part of their hooves are completely white. The hooves of the horses are very clearly visible.Immediately, he was hunchbacked and tall, with a white sweat towel wrapped around his head, and a large horse with a foreign gun slung across his back. On the other shoulder, a single knife handle wrapped in red cloth was exposed.The man on the mule's back was very short in stature. In addition to a gun on his back, he also had a horn pinned to his waist. Small scale thallium!The one at the head turned his head away, and asked the one at the end, "Do you believe that Shijia Tubao saw the letter you sent?" Does that need to be said?The little man slapped the throat of a drake and yelled like a ghost pinching his neck: I followed your instructions, nailed the letter to a tree, and fired three shots to tell them!I don't understand, why the boss suddenly became merciful, last time we planted someone in Tubao, if Tubao is smart, he should let us withdraw money and collect guns! I know what the boss is thinking.The one in the lead said: He knows that everyone is not going to relax and is planning to break up.You haven't seen the kind of wildness in the Northland, where household grain urns open their mouths, how can there be anything else to take? !You bring a God of Wealth and tie a meat ticket for them to eat and drink. In the end, no one sends a plate (note: underworld idiom, that is, to send people to redeem people at the price offered.) Here, you tear up the ticket (note: tear, Kill him), and dig a hole for him to bury!If it goes on like this, until which day will it flow along? !The boss's temper is different from the previous few years!Now that the gang is about to break up, what does it matter if he kills in a palm-sized place like Shijiatubao? ! What if the earth castle resisted?The man on the third horse said: We set up blood piles last time, so we held our noses and retreated? ! anti?The little guy at the end snorted: Let's take a big village with hundreds of households as a road!With the pile of broken copper and iron in his Shijia Tubao, he also wants to block the horse's head? !If they toasted and refused to eat fine wine, they were afraid that he would even urinate out of the beating.Last time I took a few brothers and touched the west side of Leizhuang. It was like falling headlong into a money cellar. I fired three shots into the sky and let out a word. Mao Gunniu miles! Leizhuang is Leizhuang, and the leader said: You can't take it as a Shijia Tubao, that old man Shi is a piece of wood that cannot be split!You didn't hear that he had a hundred guns against the Soviet bastard, and he was almost smashed!I've tried his strength, it's really tough! They passed the place where Liuzhier Guilong was lying down, and filed into the narrow Hongxin, the shadow of the steep cliff covered their backs.Suddenly, the man in the lead took the horse back. What a dangerous place!He raised his face and said in admiration: His mother is better than Huarong Road, if the earthen castle has two guns lying on it, we will definitely fall! Before he could speak, his words were interrupted by a bang, and the leading horse stood up in shock, let out a hissing cry, and threw the man on the horse out of thin air, hit the cliff with his waist, and fell on the ground. on the ground.The other two horses and the bay-colored mule retreated heavily, huddled together in a pile. There was no time to draw a gun below, and a loud voice raised from the top of the roof and said: "You have bright eyes, buddy!"Hand over the guns, the old Central Standing Brigade's fast horse squad is all here, hand over the guns and don't fight!Then, machine gunner, lock Hongkou!Box gunners, resist their retreat and you have been recruited! Behind Hongyi, there was indeed a hissing neighing, and Hongxin's neighing was too sudden, Hongxin's four were frightened, no one dared to move, and they could not move.Among the four sentinel horses, the one at the head was Boss Qi, Fatty Lu's most powerful boss. He had been on the road for nearly twenty years and had encountered many dangers, but none of them were as difficult as what he encountered tonight.Just as he was hesitating, his hand wanted to put his hand on the gun butt, the roar on the cliff became even more astonishing. I said, you have been recruited, so don't be confused!Whoever moves, bullets don't have eyes, be careful to hit your head with water! Boss Qi can't be scared by a few words, since he was ordered by the boss to take the three brothers to release the Mashi family's bunker first, he couldn't just fall into his hands without firing a shot for no reason.I've heard of the Zedi gun team, but I haven't heard of any fast horse teams in the Central Standing Brigade.He judged that the voice was in Hongnan, so he leaned over to the south cliff, and took out the pistol with a very quick movement.He was fast, who knew that the one on the top was faster, as soon as he moved, the top was beeping, four shots were fired, his right hand went numb, the pistol fell, and the other three shots rubbed the scalp on the back, and the person with the hat stretched out his hand Go to hug the hat, the hat is called Dafei, and only hug the bald head with broken skin. Hehehe, I tell you to bring a little color!Heavy!Ready to shoot.Boxer, let's fire and listen! Liuzhier Guilong straightened the gun and fired a whole bunch of fire.In the sound of gunfire echoing all over the place, people shouted and handed over their guns!Hand in your guns!Hongxin and the four gave up, obediently threw the gun to the ground, and wiped the single knife with its sheath. A huge figure in military uniform appeared in the dark red sky behind Hongyan, with one hand on his hips and a gun in the other, laughing violently: the gun was hanging upside down on the judge's head (Note: The protruding part in front of the saddle), each lead their own horses, and walk westward ten steps apart, whoever turns around, I will tell him to blow his head!Report to me at Hongchakou on the west side.Heavy, get out!Boxer, hold them down!The guy in the lead, can you hear me? ! I, Boss Qi, admit it!Boss Qi smiled wryly and said: Just include it, don’t be so frightening!If you put the four of us down, our boss will come and clean you up!Nothing to be proud of. What brains? !The voice from above said: It was my crooked mangy who committed the crime, and I will only serve him as a second-class soldier! Hearing the word Waihu Lai'er, the four people below suddenly became eight inches shorter.Boss Qi picked up the pistol with his left arm, hung it on the judge's head, and said tremblingly: "The surname Qi is blind!"I don't know the crooked man on the other side, your name is Thunder, and the four of us are convinced! I dreamed a few days ago, dreaming that you incorporated us!The second one said: Unexpectedly, it really passed the test! I said crooked nonsense son, don't blame me for speaking frankly!The little man hung up his gun, wiped his chest and said: Our boss wants to recruit you all day long, but you want to recruit him. I think, what good is it that you are such a poor soldier? !Seeing that the God of Wealth is walking with a load of money, instead of touching it and stuffing it into his waist, he has to carry it for him. How can he be as happy as a king? ! You have to be careful!Crooked Hu Lai'er said: If you don't change your thieves and come with me, it won't take ten and a half months, and I won't shoot you, I will pinch you to death with two fingers! They turned over to the Hongchakou, and Boss Qi took a look. Including Crooked Hu Mani, there were only four people in total, two long guns and two box guns, and the other was a young man with a box gun holding four animals. What kind of machine gunner, box gunner? , it's nothing but empty talk.Although he was intimidated, but Waihu Manile's courage, this kind of spirit, in the boundless twilight, really made people breathless. I'm sorry, Boss Qi!Crooked Hu Lai'er patted Boss Qi on the shoulder and said: "Brother don't lie, Ma Ban is me, and I am Ma Ban. I was a little careless just now and scratched your wrist. Please forgive me."After speaking, he tore off a sleeve with a hiss and covered the wound.You three are fine!He said again: I just scraped off a little bit of oily skin on your brains. Those three stick out their tongues and can't get in. No one has heard of such accurate marksmanship. One person shoots a gun into a dark place, and when he shoots, he can predict where the person will be injured. If a layer of skin is removed, a layer of skin will be removed! Four horse thieves led their horses in a row, like donkey and camel dealers, and forced them into the bunker.Just after the gate was closed, there was not even half a cup of tea time. The darkness of the first night was lit by dozens of torches that came from the wild. The people on the wall of the polder could all see the horses in the firelight. Needless to say, it was Lu The brigade of the big fat man let go of the Tulong River after hearing the gunfire from Hongshang. The last bunch of dark purple in the sky has also disappeared. The horse thief's large group of horses circled around in the open area east of the fort, forming a jagged horizontal formation. The head of the flame was flying like a snake's tongue, and thick black smoke billowed above the head.In front of the semi-circular horizontal formation, five or six horses surrounded a black horse that looked like a paintbrush, and put it all the way to the opposite side of the ditch, as if they didn't pay attention to the muzzle between the polders at all.The man on the black horse was forty-five or sixteen years old, with a colorful ribbon wrapped around his waist, the mouth of the belt was more than a foot wide, and the waist and eyes were as thick as a bucket, and he was full of majesty; Under the hat, the crab face is raised slightly upwards, and an angry black beard is raised, the bristles are as short as bristles; on both sides of the bright blue satin jacket, there are two horse brand pistols with ivory handles. (Note: One of the famous brand pistols refined in Germany, which is regarded as a treasure by the gangsters.) I am Lu Zhigao!Although Fatty Lu's voice was as hoarse as a broken gong, he shouted loudly: I'll ask the master of the fort to come out and speak!The horn hand rings the horn for me!The horn was sounded three times and no one answered, I will uproot you! The first long sound of the horn weeps in the miserable red light. Don't take that posture!Father Shi stood on the fair and shouted: Boss Qi and his group have already been recruited!The earthen fortress of the Shi family is built on the ground, if your surname Lu wants to pull it out, just pull it out!I'm afraid you won't be able to pull it out for a while! Include my surname Lu?Who deserves it? !Fatty Lu sneered: I would meet that one, what kind of hero with three heads, six arms and nine hands? ! I'm so sorry for you, Mr. Lu, to retreat a hundred steps!A thunderous voice suddenly rose from among the dikes and said: I will go out to meet you!Boss Qi and the others, I made it up!There is wine in the castle tonight, waiting for you to make up the numbers, the more people are hotter! Fatty Lu had just returned to his horse for a hundred paces, when an angry white horse came out of the gate with a single whistle, crooked Hu Laier held his Biguo carbine horizontally, raised it above his head, and kept leading the rein until he was several dozen horses ahead of the formation. . Lutouer and all friends who are on the road, listen up!A crooked man with a slanted stab and a horse running through a puff of smoke: I am not a hero with three heads and six arms, I am also a skinny and long man!Let me tell you, wells are wells, rivers are rivers, they are not on the same path!The horse's hooves circled at the end of the formation, and came back rhythmically. They stopped at Big Fatty Lu, and threw the Biguo-made carbine and waist pistol on the ground. One nose, two eyes!I was born without a name or surname, and my brothers all called me a crooked fool!Crooked Hu Lai'er flew off the horse, holding the rein in his hand, under the muzzles of dozens of flat guns, laughing like drinking a bowl of cold water: "Everyone, please feel free to put a cold gun!"I am unarmed!I'll go back to Mr. Lu's words! Fatty Lu raised his head and looked at the other party with great effort, but the crooked figure, appearance and unprecedented fearless actions of Hu Mani'er alone made him slump his shoulders. Mountains are built by people, and roads are made by people!Lu Zhigao had already engraved your crooked old name on his heart. Fatty Lu said: It’s not my surname Lu who exaggerates and sells a word of Haikou. I traveled from south to north for more than 20 years. : Salt owl code words, that is, the chicken bus loaded with salt, and the rest of the legs is the car.), stroke the clip (note: stroke, code word, hit.), meat tax (note: code word, salt owl met the anti-smuggling team, so that the package iron After being killed with a pole, disemboweled and disembowelled, and put a handful of salt into it, which is called the meat tax.), Bright name, wandering the rivers and lakes, both light and dark, there are many leaders who know each other.Peng is happy, and even the sky will hold him back.There is only one person I admire in my whole life, and that is you crooked fool!I, Lu Zhigao, don't admire those big officials, what I admire is that you don't have the word life and death in your heart!Single-handedly attacking the blade of a horse, in the whole world, no one else can do it, you make me up, okay!My men and I, this is the first time I have met you, everyone said that you are very good at marksmanship, I am overwhelmed, I want to try the gun with you, and I beat me, the surnamed Lu will spend half his life playing with the gun for nothing, with you Even if you lead the horse and pedal, you are convinced; if you can't beat me, let's have a drink, and I will get to know you, a heroic friend!Honestly speaking, you meddled in the affairs of the land surnamed Lu, scarred Liu Wu, made up Boss Qi, and took away the face of the gangsters. If you want to replace someone else, can I, Lu Zhigao, swallow this breath? ! Head Lu, listen to me.Crooked Hu Lai'er said: You want to try your marksmanship, I will accompany you!In case you lose, I only hope that you mean what you say.My recruiter has always been Jiang Ziya fishing, and those who wish to take the bait.In the past, even if you have hurt people in the central government or resisted the central government's taxes, it doesn't matter.Today he is in the road, tomorrow he will be in the horse class, no matter how low the background of the hero is, Zhu Hongwu has even stolen a cow? Not everyone should be a star! Fatty Lu held his belly in both hands, raised his face and let out a loud haha: If I lose, I will submit!Man, let go of the three horses!I will compare my carbine with the crooked mangy man!The torch that hits the head with a gun!Everyone fired three shots! The three horses led out of the horizontal formation, ran diagonally for a hundred paces towards the south, turned their heads around in unison, and lined up side by side.Three burning torches were held up high, showing a dazzling red in the black, the flame core was slightly orange-yellow, and the flame heads were bursting, spewing out billowing smoke. This novel way of winning a gun fight shocked everyone on the market and among the horse thieves; many people could see that no matter how powerful the gunman is, no matter how many years he has been playing with guns, if he is asked to fight in the dark Shooting out three torches with three shots is really harder than feeling for a needle in the dark.The red flames are so dazzling, and the head of the fire flutters erratically with the wind, making people pick up their guns, but they can't hold the direction of the fluttering.If the shooter wants to destroy it, he must hold the flame core and let go of the flame head. When the gun comes out of the chamber, it must hit the center of the flame core just below the finger, and then the flame head will fly.And the two people who competed with guns were all sharpshooters who blasted from far and near, one was the king in the sky, and the other was the second king in the underground. Before the match, no one could predict who would win? ! Please stop, crooked fool!Fatty Lu said. Head Lu, please first. Fatty Lu said with a smile: Since you are being polite, I will not be modest, so I will make an ugly show first! Frost fell silently, and traces of earth's air were still rising everywhere. In the envelope of the earth's air, a circle of colored halos burst out around the flames, and the halo of color reflected the open space, making the air, the ground, and the sky blend together. With light and shadow. Fatty Lu got off his horse, took a carbine from the left and right servants, pulled the bolt to fire it, stepped on the T-step, slowly inhaled and raised the gun, resting the gun body firmly with his left hand, and keeping his right arm flat. Holding it up, the index finger is close to the machine ring, and the muzzle is pointing to the first torch on the left. Outside Weiliwei, the voices of people quieted down, waiting with bated breath for Fatty Lu's first shot. boom! Fatty Lu's right shoulder buckled, and the bright blue muzzle fire was as big as a bucket. The sound of the gun swayed, startling a flock of resident birds, fluttering their wings from the wild forest in the south, and swirled into a streak in the light of the fire. the black line.The torch on the right was obviously hit by a gun, the flame head flickered, flew into the air, shot out a stream of sparks, and then rolled and landed on the ground behind the horse. Such precise marksmanship excited the horse thieves, shaking their torches and guns one after another, and shouting cheers.Amid the shouts of joy, Fatty Lu pulled the bolt again and fired the second shot. The sound of the second shot followed the sound of the first shot, like a big wave pressing down on another big wave. Splashes of foam and water flowed out; the frightened birds circled around, and were about to fall back to their original habitat, the flames flying from the torch caught their eyes, and they, like the flames, swelled in panic. The wings let out a series of wailing sounds, which burst into the darkness in all directions. Fatty Lu's shot raised the roar of the sinking roar again, and turned it into a joyous cry as if deciding something. Some horse thieves shook their horses with laughter, and some hung up their guns and threw their hats on the ground. Go half empty.No one thought that the crooked man with a big name would be much stronger than their leader, and he would be lucky if he could be evenly matched! The people in the bunker became silent. They could trust Crooked Hu Manyer, but no one saw him raise his gun to hit the torch in the dark overnight, and no one dared to say that he could beat Fatty Lu.Liuzhier Guilong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he turned from one crenel to the other crenel, found Er Hei'er and Shi Qi, and a nest of young and victorious chattered. Do you think Uncle Crooked Hu Mani can win? It doesn't matter.Er Hei'er said: Boss Qi was recruited just now, you should have seen that pistol skill, it is definitely not inferior to Fatty Lu.You see, Mr. Crooked Hu is not worried at all with his cheerfulness. Fatty Lu raised his gun again!Who said that over there. Fatty Lu shot two torches in succession, feeling slightly relieved.In the early years in the Northland, he competed with Li Wu, a sharpshooter from Shangba County, in marksmanship, and he won by shooting two torches.He reckoned that Waihu Mangyer would not be better than Li Wuqiang, maybe it was better to be famous than to meet him, but seeing Waihu Mangyer's nonchalant smiling face when he turned his head, he couldn't help but feel relaxed again, and he was shot twice. It's better to have a full house, thinking so in my heart, I became more cautious when raising the gun to aim at the line for the third shot. Facing the last torch, Fatty Lu took aim and aim carefully before suppressing the fire. With the sound of the gun, the torch also flickered. Perhaps the bullet had gone astray for half a finger, and half of the flame head on the torch jumped. Get up, tumble and fall, the other half will be broken, still hanging upside down on the torch pole burning. ashamed!ashamed!Fatty Lu turned his head around, and said arrogantly to Wai Hu Lai'er: This one is only half-destroyed!Please stop, crooked fool!Another three torches over there! Well played, Mr. Lu!Crooked Hu Mani'er picked up the pistol and stuck it in his waist, and then bent down to pick up the long spear: Your marksmanship is quite impressive!Then he turned around and shouted, "My friends who are breaking the road, just now, I have learned from Tou Lu's marksmanship!"The brother said something first, it's just a foil, a false scene, in case the gun is shot, don't laugh!After speaking, with a little tiptoe, he jumped onto the white horse out of thin air, and slightly gathered the rein with his left hand, and the white horse walked briskly along the rein with its hooves raised.The crooked man pulled the bolt to cover the fire, held the gun with one hand, the muzzle of the gun was facing the sky obliquely, one eye was fixed on the torch, and his body was half-turned. Suddenly, people saw that he raised his left hand, then let go of the rein, and clamped his knees. The white horseshoe flower flipped over, and ran diagonally, the muzzle of the gun that was facing the sky lowered, and with a bang, the first torch on the right burst out from the orange flame center, and looked at the white horse again. There was a sound of hooves, and they had already rushed into the darkness in the distance. The sound of this gunshot was almost drowned out by the earth-shattering calls!No one expected that Crooked Hu Mani'er would shoot at a gallop, using the long spear as a short spear, and hitting the center of the torch without aiming the line with one hand. Before the shouting stopped, the sound of horseshoes rolled over from the darkness. Before the man and horse appeared, the gunfire broke out again, and the flame head of the torch in the middle flew high into the air.In an instant, the white horse flew over with its mane angrily, passed by the line of horses swaying wildly along the torches, and the crooked man popped out with his hands, and the flame end of the third torch followed the flame end of the previous torch and fell to the ground. on the ground.When the horse passed by Fatty Lu's side, Crooked Hu Mani'er flew down from the galloping horse and grabbed Fatty Lu's arm with one hand. Listen up guys!Fatty Lu shouted, his voice was a bit desolate: Earlier, I showed you all the kindness and kindness, and I have a race with Lu Zhigao, and we have officially broken up at this point!The one who was edited, brought the horse over to recognize the new owner, Mr. crooked mangy man, he is really a hero, a great hero, following him to fight devils all the way, it is regarded as an ancestor's merit!Those who return to their hometowns should bring more travel expenses. The brothers of Panchuan are connected by flesh and blood, separated by thousands of miles, and there will be a period of time later. No one strayed from the group, and this group of horse thieves, known for their fierceness, was completely overwhelmed by the deterrence of Crooked Hu Manny'er. They silently inserted the torches back into the bamboo tubes, and one after another, they led the horses into the bunker.Although it is peace of mind, it is sad after all.The banquet was set up in Father Shi Lun's main room, with five round tables filled, and the recruited horse thieves were laughing and drinking like a demon, but everyone's eyes were wet. Fatty Lu refused to sit on the chief seat to his death, and was forced to sit on the sandalwood chair by Waihu Mani'er. As soon as his buttocks touched the chair surface, he jumped up and picked up the pot to toast Waihu Mani'er's wine. I, Lu Zhigao, nod my head, and offer a toast to you with a glass of wine on behalf of my former brother!I am a heartless, boneless thief!At present, you have to pull it out vigorously, pull out the mud, and pull out the fire pit.Alas, crooked fool!We are newcomers, you are the reborn parents!Cheers!quit? !I, Lu Zhigao, really kowtow to you! Crooked Hu Lai'er raised his face, poured a large glass of wine down his throat, supported Lu Zhigao with both hands in a hurry, and said: Brother, don't break brother's life.What happened tonight has nothing to do with me.In the past few years of the Anti-Japanese War, tens of thousands of people have died at the hands of the devils. My old brother in the Kuaima class, although he still has his head cut off, has died several times!Some died at the head of the devil's gun, and some were chopped off with black knives. I am pleading with you on behalf of those evil ghosts!People, who is not raised by parents, mothers and fathers? !With my crooked skeleton, crooked heart, walking in gangsters, carrying foreign guns on my shoulders, where can I get less treasure, gold and silver? !I keep my job, fight guerrillas, rush in the fire, rush to the death, endure hunger and starvation without taking off this broken military uniform, what am I for?I said, if you don't suffer from the devils, you don't know how vicious the devils are.家亡國破了，命攢人手上，還有心貪圖旁的嗎？不說人心肉做的，就是顆石蛋兒，也冒冒火花！熱湯裏滾，油鍋裏跳，頂著槍子兒跑馬，我沒孫悟空七十二變，身上可數得出七十二處傷疤。老哥，我說句不中聽的話，趁火打劫，死了閻王不收，你打鬼子八路死了，他閻王也要放掛鞭。我這人，雖不把鬼神頂在頭上，可信得這顆心。我歪胡癩兒收編各位，決不是要各位穿軍裝，佩番號，列餉冊，造花名，幹那官府衙門兵，只要各位洗手不擾民，護著何指揮，替老中央把住湖東這塊荒野地就夠了！歪胡癩兒，我嘔心滴血吐的腑肺真言，不外求各位認條明路走，賞臉，我回敬一杯，各位乾了！不賞臉，我不擋各位財路，可若再碰面，休怪我翻面不認朋友。 兩明一暗的大堂屋裏，只聽見歪胡癩兒那種豪情的聲音，浪頭一樣打進人心。馬賊群紛紛站起來，舉杯喝乾了酒。盧大胖子抓的不是酒杯，卻是四兩裝的錫壺，大嘴套小嘴，吸氣似的一口乾，探手撕開領口，把胸脯拍得卜卜響說：痛快！我盧志高早幾十年，白活了！湖東好比大明國，您是朱洪武，我是常遇春，夥計們，可聽著了！朝後不要說搶劫不准有，誰偷隻雞，摸隻狗，全犯殺字戒！要金銀財寶，咱們專向鬼子取，要上捐上稅，咱們找蘇大混兒拿！ 我敬歪胡癩兒爺一杯酒，順便問句話。祁老大吊著右膀子擠過來：您能不能講講，您的槍法怎麼練的？ 另外幾個也鬨著，催歪胡癩兒講。 我早先在魯南，是個打獵的，一天打不著獵物，就得勒一天肚皮。歪胡癩兒說：槍一理，要打得起溜的野雉，射中驚窩的野兔。看在肚皮份上，我自幼就練槍，只有一種玩意兒打不中，因此還算不得神槍！ 甭騙你的兒了！盧大胖子說：那是啥玩意？ 線牽的鴨蛋殼兒！歪胡癩兒說：槍子兒帶風，壓根兒黏不著它！ 歪胡癩兒話一出口，大夥兒忘情的大笑起來，最後一點兒懊喪味也被笑聲帶走了。盧大胖子離了席，挺著肚皮找堡裏的人拚酒。歪胡癩兒三槍把雙方的仇恨打飛到爪哇國，馬賊群和堡裏槍隊拉得火熱的，說東聒西沒完。酒是溫的，菜是熱的，燈火是明亮的，歪胡癩兒話像泉眼，骨嘟嘟朝外冒，自稱是隻活酒罈兒，而盧大胖子話更多，一壺接一壺灌酒，話就像酒泡朝外翻。散拴在西大院的馬匹不時噓叫著，堂屋外面，也圍滿了婦孺。盧大胖子酒到喉嚨管了，還說沒有醉，一把抓住貴隆：呃，呃，小兄弟咱們搳三拳，一拳一壺！ 六指兒貴隆搖手時，生著叉指兒的手叫盧大胖子抓住了：妙，小兄弟，你算遇上我這好郎中啦，叉指兒，累贅小玩意，怎不去掉它？ !來來來，我幫你治治。 貴隆沒在意，叉指兒叫盧大胖子一口咬住了，喀嚓一聲，他的臉變白了。不關緊，不關緊！盧大胖子說：先抓把香灰捂住，明早到亂墳上，撿塊死人骨頭磨粉搽上，好了連疤也看不見！ 六指兒貴隆沒聽見，他疼得一暈一暈，人靠在牆上，滿眼的燈焰全飛著黑輪。盧大胖子擠到那邊，絆在一張條凳上跌坐在地上，窩團著舌頭說：拿個酒杯來，我耍個把戲你們瞧！另一個醉漢送來一隻酒杯，盧大胖子說：我啣著杯口，你朝杯裏斟酒，呃，呃，要斟滿，我只一仰脖子，酒全落肚，漏出一滴，不算本事！ 那個醉漢照做了，盧大胖子果真一仰脖子，酒卻灌進鼻孔裏去了。 在石家土堡，這是破天荒的一夜，人們大聲的猜著拳，喝著酒，醉呼呼的你推我撞，發出雜亂的喧嘩。歪胡癩兒是座橋，把兩個不同的群體啣接起來，彼此流通。祁老大光著紅通通的腦袋，講當初接盤兒送肉票的故事。石老爹含著長煙桿，說起土堡建造之後怎樣抗賊的。小秤鉈被他的夥友推到雷莊人一邊，那夥友說：雷莊那回遭搶，就是他幹的，銀洋甭說了，他欠你們一頭白毛牯牛！ 那，那是三歪牽的！He said. 有人笑著，把一杯酒連酒杯全塞進他的嘴。 沒人找你要牛，不是嗎？ !雷莊的小伙子雷一炮說：那是我們雷老實大叔送你的！ 小秤鉈吐出酒杯說：幾十人全有份，我只攤到一根牛尾巴罷了。 初冬夜短，初更入的席，一場酒喝到東方泛白。有人喝醉了，把酒吐在盤子裏，有人趴在桌角打了鼾，手彎裏還抱著錫酒壺。黯黯的天光從格子窗外流進來，亮了一夜的粗芯油燈，一盞一盞全顯得乏了，雞在院外啼叫著，盧大胖子迷迷糊糊的拍著肚皮說：你甭在肚裏搧翅膀了！我站起來走動走動，你就該化啦！歪胡癩兒潑了他半桶冷水，盧大胖子使舌頭舐說：好酒！Good wine! 歪胡癩兒笑著又潑了半桶說：老哥，酒太濃了，這是在替您滲花哩！ 那天黃昏，盧大胖子帶著他手下一夥粗豪的弟兄回紅泥墩子去，臨走前，馬群集聚在西大院裏，聽歪胡癩兒講話。你們如今是馬班了！歪胡癩兒的溜打轉的眼裏有著夕陽的光彩：除了這個，還跟往常一樣，由盧頭兒領你們回紅泥墩子去！我歪胡癩兒對天發誓，跟各位同生共死！若有食言，他揚手一匣槍打落一塊虎頭瓦，指著說：若有食言，有如此瓦！ 盧志高也對天立個誓！盧大胖子肅然的指著土堡頂上一盆壓脊的盆景說：我跟這夥兄弟自願在歪胡癩兒爺手裏受編，奉差遣，馬歇紅泥墩，若有三心二意，有如那隻盆肚上的盤龍！說完話，也理手發了一匣槍，槍頭正洞穿龍頭。然後，他們在堡外上馬，悄悄的拉走了。 澤地頭一回有一整冬的平靜 由於歪胡癩兒除惡賊，打杉胛，三槍收編盧大胖子，使湖東一帶有了比較安穩的小局面。澤地的槍隊，吳大莊的何指揮，紅泥墩子的馬隊，互成犄角之勢，加上北三河附近民間的聯莊銃隊，五姓聯合小刀會，和起窖的散碎槍枝，把洪澤湖支隊壓得不敢出湖，蘇大混兒也逃到鄰縣去了。 那年臘月廿一，寒冷的晴天，敵後的人們初次望見大群的Ｂ︱２９型飛機，它們從極高的天空上隱隱的飛掠向東海岸去，機身小得像銀白的小點。（註：可能為美國飛機初襲日本本土，或為支援太平洋海上戰鬥。） 澤地的居民們也看見了，他們不知道稀奇的、閃光而又移動的銀點是什麼，雷老實說是白日現星，鬼子的氣數該盡了。更有些人相信嘴含乾蔴可以白日看見星的說法，紛紛尋找乾蔴啣在嘴裏，盼望看見更清楚些，但那些銀色的小點終於隱沒在雲裏，再也看不到了。 天，真的要亮了！人們猜測說。 天亮還要防它黑一黑！歪胡癩兒說：鬼子就算它投了降，八路還是要興波作浪的，不信你們瞧著罷！
