Qin Di squatted on a bluestone step and smoked sullenly.
There were already two cigarette butts at his feet.
Beside him, Shang Kui was still chattering.
"Uncle You is a poor man. My aunt died in childbirth when she gave birth to Fusheng. Uncle You raised Fusheng all by himself."
"Fu Sheng was the lifeblood of Fourth Uncle, and now he is gone."
"I can't explain it!"
Qin Di was extremely irritable. He wanted to block Shang Kui's mouth with rocks.
No, he wanted to give his head a shot.
"It's my fault." Qin Di said.
"I won't blame you when Fu Sheng dies," Shang Kui said.
"That's called sacrifice!" Qin Di corrected.
He was extremely sad in his heart, so sad that he wished he was the one to be sacrificed.
…
It was he who mobilized You Fusheng to join the army.
To be precise, Fu Sheng took the initiative to find him after listening to his anti-Japanese propaganda, and he was determined to join the guerrillas.
After Qin Di came to the guerrillas and listened to his anti-Japanese propaganda, he was the first fellow countryman who took the initiative to find him and expressed his intention to join the guerrillas.
This makes Qin Di very excited.
He told the brigade Changgu Baoguo that he was a good soldier with a tall figure and high enthusiasm for resisting Japan.
Brigade Changgu Baoguo disagreed.
There is only one reason for his objection: You Fusheng is the only son in the family!
"If Fu Sheng had any shortcomings, You Laosi wouldn't be able to survive," Gu Baoguo said.
Qin Di disagreed with Gu Baoguo's words. He believed that the country was in ruins and the people were living in dire straits. Everyone should stand up and contribute to the fight against Japan.
"I am also an only son!" Qin Di said, "I am willing to sacrifice for the resistance against Japan and the revolution."
"You are a party member." Gu Baoguo said, "You Fusheng is not!"
Gu Baoguo is the captain, and his decisions are orders in the guerrillas. He disagrees with You Fusheng joining the guerrillas, so Qin Di has no choice but to give up.
However, a few days later, the final result was that You Fusheng joined the anti-Japanese guerrillas.
You Fusheng, who was determined to resist Japan, somehow convinced his father. You Laosi personally sent You Fusheng to Guanyintang and asked Gu Baoguo to accept his son.
Gu Baoguo disagreed at first, but he couldn't resist Youjia and his son, so in the end he could only nod in agreement.
This result made Qin Di very happy, not only because it was the result of his work, but also because he felt the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of his compatriots from You Fusheng, which inspired him.
"Remember, Fusheng is the lifeblood of You Laosi!"
At that time, Gu Baoguo gave Qin Di a complicated look.
…
At this moment, Qin Di understood the profound meaning contained in the captain's words and eyes.
You Fusheng died in yesterday's battle.
The Japanese troops in the stronghold, led by traitors from the New Asia Peace Promotion Association, tried to sneak attack the Qingdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrillas, and a firefight broke out between the two sides.
The guerrillas repelled the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, killing one Japanese soldier and wounding two others. Five of their own guerrillas also died and many others were injured.
Upon learning the news of You Fusheng's death, Qin Di's mind went blank.
Shang Kui kept mumbling those words in his ears, and every word was like a thorn, piercing Qin Di's heart.
He didn't know how to face Uncle You Fourth.
Finally, Qin Di took heavy steps and pushed open the door of Fourth Uncle You's house.
"Is it Fusheng?" Uncle You's voice came from inside.
Qin Di didn't answer immediately, he didn't know how to speak.
Qin Di, who was usually passionate and eloquent when promoting anti-Japanese propaganda, at this moment did not know how to speak or how to comfort a father who had lost his only son.
"Who?" Uncle You asked again.
"Fourth uncle, it's me." Qin Di couldn't help but speak, his voice was a little hoarse, "I, Qin Di."
"It's Director Qin." Fourth Uncle You wrapped the dry pipe in his hand and walked out, "Hurry up and sit in the room."
"No, Fourth Uncle, just stay in the yard." Qin Di said. He looked at Fourth Uncle You and wanted to speak, but couldn't.
"Is something wrong? Director Qin?" Uncle You asked.
"Yes, something happened." Qin Di's voice was low, "Fusheng him..."
"What's wrong with Fusheng?" You Laosi looked at Qin Di and panicked when he saw Qin Di's expression, "Is he injured?"
…
"No, it is." Qin Di raised his head, looked into Fourth Uncle You's eyes, and finally said those words, "Fourth Uncle, Fu gave birth to him, and he sacrificed his life."
"What?" You Laosi's tobacco stick fell on the bluestone floor with a clang.
"Fourth uncle, Fusheng died." Qin Di knelt down with a plop, "It was me who failed to protect Fusheng! It's all my fault! I can't forgive you, old man!"
"Fusheng, he, he is really -" Fourth Uncle You looked at Qin Di with the last trace of expectation in his eyes, "Really, no?"
Seeing Qin Di nodding, Uncle You's two tears fell down his aging eyes.
Once these tears fall, I can't hold them back.
Fourth Uncle You's body slipped along the door frame and he sobbed loudly.
The cry of the desperate old father is very scary.
His expression was distorted, and his body was shaking with sobs.
This wasn't wailing, it was sobs of despair.
Qin Di knelt there, looking at the sobbing Fourth Uncle You, and his heart felt like a knife cutting through him.
Fourth Uncle You had collapsed on the ground, sobbing, and kept chanting 'Fu Sheng', 'Fu Sheng'.
Tears welled up in Qin Di's eyes, and he shouted, "Abba!"
The sobbing Fourth Uncle You raised his head and looked over. The Fourth Uncle You, who was already feeling dizzy with grief, crawled over, knelt down on Qin Di's side, caressed his face, and shouted "Fusheng" while caressing him. .
Qin Di knelt there motionless and said, "Fusheng is gone. From now on, I will be your son. As long as I live, I will provide for you until the end of your life."
These words brought Fourth Uncle You back to his senses. He took back the hand that touched Qin Di's face and saw clearly that the young man in front of him was not his son Fusheng.
…
Qin Di was kneeling.
Fourth Uncle You just knelt down and looked at him.
Finally, Fourth Uncle You sat on the ground and sighed deeply.
"Director Qin." After a while, Fourth Uncle You spoke and looked at Qin Di.
"Here you are, you said."
"Fusheng didn't embarrass us Chinese people, did he?" he asked.
"No!" Qin Di said, "Fusheng is very brave!"
"That's good, that's good!" Fourth Uncle You slowly stood up from the ground, declined Qin Di's support, and walked tremblingly towards the back room.
Qin Di looked at Uncle You Fourth's back. In just a moment, this man seemed to have aged for more than ten years.
…
"Who?" There was a sound of pulling the bolt of a gun, followed by a cold question.
"It's me." He Guan said aloud.
"It's Captain He." The guerrillas on guard looked over and shouted happily, "It's Captain He who is back."
"Here are two people, Monk Ming and the others will change." He Guan put away the Mauser pistol in his hand and said.
"Here we come!" Several guerrillas came out of the woods, took the stretcher, and replaced Shang Ming and others.
Soon, the group came to Guanyin Hall.
He carefully moved the unconscious Fang Muheng on the stretcher to a bed that had been covered with a mattress in advance.
"Everyone, go down and rest." He Guan ordered, "Also, you guys, please be careful and be careful of the Japanese sneak attack."
"Don't worry, Captain He, our eyes are still alert."
"Be careful!" He Guan patted the guerrilla fighter on the shoulder, "Be careful with open sentries, and be alert with hidden sentries."
"Understood!" The soldiers saluted and left quickly.
He Guan poured himself a glass of water, held the enamel jar with both hands, took a stool, and sat on the edge of the bed.
He Guan looked at the unconscious Fang Muheng, his nose felt a little sore.
After seeing Fang Muheng for the past few years, I didn't expect to meet again in such a scene.
He felt proud and sad at the same time.
He was proud of Fang Muheng. When the news came that the New Fourth Army successfully ambushed the Japanese army in Weigand, Zhenjiang, the Qingdong guerrillas were also encouraged. Unexpectedly, his second brother Fang Muheng turned out to be a member of this heroic New Fourth Army team.
Sadly, Fang Muheng was seriously injured and unconscious.
