On the evening of July 5, the last rays of sunset on the horizon gradually faded, and in the cabin, Liu Lin learned to send and receive newspapers, and decipher entry-level codes under the guidance of Zhou Chengbin. Liu Lin was full of interest and refused to stop, and after it was dark, he lit the oil lamp again, and asked questions while learning. Zhou Chengbin patted his head and said with a smile: "Okay, you can't be a fat man in a day, so I'll be here today." I heard Lao Zhao say that there will be strong winds and waves in the lake tonight, you clean up, and we will all go to live in a hut on the shore. ”

Liu Lin promised to clean up his things while saying adoringly: "Stationmaster Zhou, how many skills do you have?" I'm really convinced, and telecommunications technology is so brilliant, but unfortunately I may not have the opportunity to guide me in the future, if only I could be by your side. There was a sentence that he was embarrassed to say: If I had a brother like you, I would die without regrets.

Zhou Chengbin said with a smile: "There is a sky outside the sky, my telecommunications technology is also entry-level, you have never seen a real master." Liu Lin followed the procedure and methodically packed the radio and antenna and put them into the box. Zhou Chengbin had only removed the plaster on his left leg the day before, and he had to walk on crutches, Liu Lin supported him with one hand and walked back to the hut with the box in the other.

At midnight, a strong wind blew, and the waves in Hongze Lake became bigger and bigger, and it lasted until the early morning of the next day, and it rained heavily. Zhou Chengbin got up in his clothes, and the ancient masterpiece of abandoning illness suddenly came to his heart: "When I was drunk, I picked up the lamp and looked at the sword, and I dreamed of blowing the horn and the camp." Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Autumn soldiers on the battlefield. The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor white happens. ”

The whirlwind struck, several tufts of thatched grass on the thatched hut were swept away, the window lattice was also broken in two, and the raindrops like hemp leaked into the room, and the boatman Lao Zhao was also awakened, and quickly got up and said, "Stationmaster Zhou, why are you up?" Your legs are inconvenient, go and lie down, this has me. Arin, wake up. ”

Liu Lin, who was woken up in his sleep, lit the oil lamp, helped Lao Zhao find something to catch water, and transferred the things that were afraid of water indoors to a place where it did not leak. Lao Zhao comforted: "Stationmaster Zhou, don't worry, although this storm is fierce, it won't last long." I guess it will weaken at dawn. The thatched hut we live in was newly built this year, and it was made of adobe mixed with hemp knives, and it was fine. If it doesn't work, we'll go down the tunnel. However, several other huts in the village are at risk of collapsing. When building this thatched hut, just in case, Li Zhiyong ordered someone to dig a tunnel where he could hide in a critical situation, and the entrance of the tunnel was cleverly designed as a Buddhist shrine dedicated to Master Guan.

Zhou Chengbin asked casually: "Who are the people living in the village now?" ”

Lao Zhao calculated and replied: "As soon as this storm comes, some people come here to take shelter from the wind, I turned around yesterday evening, the pair of young couples in the west came, and there was still a father and son in a thatched hut in the east, and two brothers who had not seen before came to the other thatched hut, who were also fishing, I talked a few words, no problem." It is estimated that when the day dawns, some damaged fishing boats will dock to rest. ”

Liu Lin, who was busy and finished, straightened his waist and said: "Stationmaster Zhou, today's scene reminds me of two poems I learned when I was a child, saying that the thatched hut leaked in heavy rain, the thatch was swept away by the wind, and an old man wanted to build a lot of houses or something. ”

Zhou Chengbin smiled dumbly: "Alin, you must not have been a good student when you were in school, and you often suffered from the teacher's hand, right?" What nonsense? It is the poem of the poet Saint Du Fu: There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, the cold people in the world gather to be happy, the wind and rain do not move like a mountain, and it is enough for my house to be alone and freeze to death...... What was that? Old Zhao, listen-"

The sound of the motor is faintly heard in the wind and rain, most of the fishermen's fishing boats are manually rocked, and a very small number of wealthy ones are only assisted by the simplest diesel motors, while the sound of the motor that is getting closer and closer in the distance is powered by gasoline. The main task of the anti-smuggling brigade is to extort and forcibly collect fish taxes from fishermen, and with such a big wind and waves, they don't dock at the shore dock to shelter from the wind, what are they doing on such a remote island? Or is it a newly established Japanese patrol unit that specializes in dealing with anti-Japanese forces such as the Loyal National Salvation Army and the New Fourth Army guerrillas around Hongze Lake? Zhou Chengbin's face became solemn. He ordered: "Lao Zhao, hurry up and clean up the scene." ”

Lao Zhao said as he moved his hand: "Stationmaster Zhou, your legs are inconvenient, go down the tunnel quickly." Alin, you accompany Stationmaster Zhou down the tunnel and prepare for battle, I have to deal with it here. ”

Zhou Chengbin knew that the injuries on his body were torture injuries at a glance, and he really didn't look like a fisherman who came and went in the wind and rain in Hongze Lake, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, move the radio station and everything else that doesn't look like a fisherman into the tunnel." Lao Zhao, let Alin accompany you, our ship is not something that can be taken care of by one person. Ah Lin, listen to your Uncle Zhao. ”

An iron patrol boat docked on the island, and one Chinese and two Japanese alighted from the boat. This is the newly formed Hongze Lake Garrison Patrol of the Japanese Army, which deviated from course in the hurricane, and the motor of the engine on the boat broke again, and floated in the wind and waves for half the night, and accidentally discovered this small island, and what made them even more happy was that there were people on the island. The three of them took a fancy to the thatched hut closest to the water's edge and the most solid, and braved the heavy rain to walk in. The only Chinese, Zhao Hong, said: "Hey, old man, your good luck has come, the imperial army wants to take shelter from the wind and rain here, and boil some hot water for us to drink." ”

Japanese Second Lieutenant Jiuyuan smiled and took out a few savings tickets: "Yours, hard work, this is for you." Is there anything to eat? ”

Lao Zhao nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, the imperial army will wait for a while." Alin, you go boil water and get some food. ”

Liu Lin agreed, and after a while, he brought out half a pot of rough rice, a bowl of salted fish, and a plate of shrimp paste. The hungry Jiuyuan and the three were not picky about the roughness of the food, and ate it in large gulps, drinking the boiling water in the coarse porcelain bowl while eating. Zhao Hong turned his face to see that there was a ten-pound pottery wine jar next to the wall, and asked, "Is this wine?" ”

Lao Zhao replied: "Yes, but it's not a good wine, it's the cheapest white dry." ”

Jiuyuan, who was a heavy drinker, was very happy, and gave Lao Zhao a few savings tickets: "Mine, I bought yours." ”

Lao Zhao took the money, his smiling eyes narrowed, and he quickly opened the sealing mud at the mouth of the altar, and asked Liu Lin to bring out a plate of pickled lettuce for them to drink.

Most of the jar was full of wine, the sky was bright, the rain was lighter, but the wind showed no signs of abating. There was a knock at the door: "Uncle Zhao, I'm Ah Niu, half of the roof of my thatched hut has been blown away by the wind, I really can't live here, Ah Cai and I will take refuge in you." ”

Liu Lin opened the door, and a small couple in the west of the village hurriedly broke in with a quilt and a few clothes, and Ah Cai said: "Uncle Zhao, the house is very good, the embarrassing wind, cover it well, and the flute is to look good, dirty, and a short-lived house is ......" * Only then did I see two Japanese in military uniforms sitting in the room, and a strange Chinese. Ah Cai was startled, and hid behind her husband Ah Niu and stopped talking.

Although Jiuyuan, who was half-drunk, couldn't understand what Wu Nong's soft-spoken Ah Cai said, he only felt like the first cry of a milk warbler, and he listened tightly. He looked closely, and the woman in front of him was slightly dark, slender and healthy, and a half-old cyan gardenia muslin shirt was soaked by the rain and wrapped tightly around her body...... He stood up, shook it twice, and walked over.

Lao Zhao knew that it was not good, so he raised his face and said, "I have no place here, hurry up!" As he spoke, he used his body to block between Ah Niu's little couple and Jiuyuan, and pushed Ah Niu outward with his hands.

Jiuyuan pushed Lao Zhao's hand away, pushed Ah Niu away, and grabbed Ah Cai's hand: "Don't be afraid, my, good man, drink with me and give you money." ”

Ah Niu rushed forward and grabbed Jiuyuan's arm: "What are you going to do?" Let her go! Let's go! ”

"Yours, go if you want, mine, drink with her, drink after a while, sleep, give money, and then let her go!"

Ah Niu is angry and wants to fight hard! Zhao Hong and the Japanese soldier took out their pistols and threatened: "Don't toast and don't eat and drink, the imperial army has taken a fancy to your wife, which is a blessing you cultivated in your previous life!" It's not that they won't give you money?! Get out! ”

Jiuyuan hugged Ah Cai, Ah Cai cried and struggled weakly, Jiuyuan tore off half of his sleeve and pushed Ah Cai to the ground, Ah Niu scolded: "Beast! Brute! Beasts of thunder and thunder!! ”

Zhao Hong kicked Ah Niu and kicked twice, and the Japanese soldier dragged Ah Niu's leg and pulled it out!

Lao Zhao and Liu Lin glanced at each other and knew that today's things couldn't be good, but their weapons were hidden in the tunnels, barehanded, what should they do?

Before Lao Zhao could come up with an idea, Jiuyuan had already taken off his shirt, and Ah Niu was also dragged outside the house and knocked unconscious.

Liu Lin couldn't hold back any longer, picked up a bench, tried his best, and smashed it the back of Jiuyuan's head! The bench was broken into several pieces, Jiu Yuan snorted, touched it back, one hand was blood, he scolded angrily and was about to pull out the gun, Liu Lin flew up and kicked him in the face, Zhao Hong was startled at first, and then reacted and shot at Liu Lin!

Lao Zhao pushed Liu Lin away, Liu Lin slammed into the earthen wall, adobe and dust drifted down, and the earthen wall shook twice and collapsed half of the wall.

The Japanese soldier also reacted, the comer was not good, and the opponent was definitely not an ordinary fisherman, he rushed out of the room, hid behind half of the earthen wall, and aimed at Lao Zhao.

Suddenly, the shrine fell to the ground, and the gun in Zhou Chengbin's hand spoke first, killing the Japanese soldier with one shot. Lao Zhao could only hear a 'whoosh' in his ears, and Zhou Chengbin shouted: "Take the gun!" ”

Lao Zhao raised his hand and grabbed it, and kept ordering four or five pistols in his hand. Zhao Hong saw that the situation was not good, fired several shots in a row, injured Liu Lin, and fled out, Zhou Chengbin shot again, hitting Zhao Hong in the back of the head, he ran forward two steps, fell to the ground and died. At this time, Jiuyuan, who was smashed to the ground, fired at Zhou Chengbin, and under serious injuries, three shots missed, and the last shot Zhou Chengbin, who was injured in his left leg, could not avoid it, and grazed his right arm! Almost at the same time, Lao Zhao shot through Jiuyuan's eyebrows, and with an accurate hit at close range, half of Jiuyuan's head was removed!
