"Cough, someone..."

The sound was really not loud, but the Korean shepherds who had been riding to the side and carefully guarded around with their ears immediately listened to one.

"Brother Gu, you're awake!"

In response to this exclamation, the Korean shepherd opened the gauze girdle on the horse's back shed with surprise and joy.

A smell of medicine was lifted up along the shed and rushed out. On the small but solid carriage, only a sick man was carried.

The bandage wrapped around his body finally lost the terror of bleeding at the beginning. With the advance of days, the wounded who had been struggling on the edge of life and death finally got out of the arms of death and completely woke up.

The injury did not make Gu Yong forget the most important thing.

When he called someone and saw the shepherd Han appear, he asked a particularly important question for him.

"Where's my brother? Where am I? Where are you taking me?"

It was these questions that made the happy expression of the Korean shepherd rigid on the spot, from the initial joy to the hard to hide sadness and depression.

Seeing Gu Yong here in a hurry, he raised his anger again and asked, "you say! Gu Zheng, what's the matter with Gu Zheng?"

It's impossible to hide. Even after more than half a month, Han shepherd can't control his tears as soon as others mention the name.

Gu Zheng's name has been spread more and more widely with the praise of the aspiring citizens of Pingcheng who successfully escaped and the veterans who survived on the battlefield.

When the enemy army officially occupied the whole city of Pingcheng, Gu Zheng, who killed more than 100 enemy troops and finally gave his young life, was well known by the old and young men of Pingcheng.

They automatically hung up white flags and tied hemp belts, and stood silently on both sides of the team when the Kou army came in from the city gate.

He didn't speak or react, but everyone looked at the invaders in Khaki uniforms with deep hatred.

Don't be afraid. Don't act rashly. If we get the first Gu Zheng in Pingcheng, there will be a second and a third.

The most exaggerated thing is that because of the influence of Gu Zheng, a small number of scattered defenders who intend to survive with Pingcheng retreat south with the main force. When they retreat to Jincheng, they automatically break away from the original establishment and actively join the team of Jincheng garrison. They intend to be in the upcoming Jincheng guard war, Continue to contribute your part.

The revolutionaries who had planned to make a series of big moves at the risk of exposing themselves when the devils entered the city completely hid themselves because Gu Zheng once wrote a letter to the humanities middle school.

Sitting in the roaring Pingcheng, the headmaster, still motionless, opened the paper with only a few words.

The handwriting above is bold and sharp, which makes the headmaster feel sorry for the owner of the handwriting when he studies it repeatedly.

"Teacher and student Gu Zheng, bow down"

"I'm deeply ashamed to have written so far, but the students have something to say from the bottom of their heart and have to talk to Zunjian..."

"Students yearn for revolutionary ideas, but because their family and country are broken and their mountains and rivers are gone, they have no intention of thinking about others."

"Students always tell their classmates that they should act according to their abilities and leave useful bodies for others to use. Young life needs to be honed and waited to do what they want."

"But at the moment when my family and country were broken and the students stepped into the battlefield, all I could think of was the idea of defending the city behind me."

"It's not a rational impulse to forgive the students for overturning the original plan."

"When the headmaster saw this letter, Gu Zheng must have fallen on the battlefield guarding his family and country."

"But because of the wishes in my heart and my unrealized ideals, I always want to share a few words with the headmaster, hoping to use another way to achieve my gradually formed ideas."

"I hope the revolutionary friends behind the headmaster can accomplish what I have not done and save my beloved family and country from the invaders."

"Unfortunately, the current situation is not optimistic."

"I wrote such a letter on the front line because I saw the failure that students are about to face and too many unnecessary sacrifices."

"I hope that the revolutionary friends I admire and yearn for will not repeat my sacrifice and become one of the irresistible failures."

"The people behind the headmaster are the ones who really need to leave useful people to the best candidates..."

"The strategic map of Pingcheng is attached to the letter. The list of guesses about the composition of the traitor government in Pingcheng is also at the end of the letter."

"As for the subsequent work, it is not something I, a layman, can interfere with."

"I just hope that the students' last contribution can provide some little help to my heart's longing."

Principal Xie's hands trembled when he saw here, because there were blood stains on this special ordinary stationery.

This is the message from the last batch of retired students to the headmaster. It was the so-called message Gu Zheng gave him in advance when they first went to the front line for support.

"Patter"

Several thin deeds fell out of the burned envelope.

Among them are the deeds of Xicheng, Xuanwu and several small courtyards located in the inner city of Pingcheng.

According to Gu Zheng's letter, this is the property left by their family to their youngest son before they evacuate for emergency needs.

When Gu Zheng was ready to sacrifice, he had sorted it out and gave it to the poor and deadly revolutionary party free of charge.

Let those useful people hide in the enemy's central hinterland in order to gather more military and political intelligence.

This made the headmaster who picked up these deed papers tremble even more, and his heart, which he thought was strong enough, also hurt.

This is a good child

The last page of the paper is only the end greeting

"Please, Jiao an..."

But the child who wanted to say goodbye to him could never wake up.

It is because of this that he should make good use of the child's mind, carry his will and hope, and make due efforts for the final victory of the country.

The principal who accepted Gu Zheng's kindness and indirect comfort also dissuaded the commander of the action team of Pingcheng revolutionary party.

The original plan of suicide attack has also turned into more hidden latent and secret destruction.

Because of Gu Zheng's old letter, someone made such a statistics many years later.

There are dozens of revolutionary comrades who have survived without unnecessary sacrifice.

Gu Zheng's great reputation during this period of time is unknown to Gu Yong, who has been in a coma repeatedly.

Now he is just eager to know whether his youngest brother is alive or dead?

The Han shepherd, who was stared at by a weak patient with an addictive eye, stumbling with the cruel answer.

"Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng didn't escape..."

"He, he is the last group of people responsible for the break..."

"Bang..."

"Elder brother gu! Elder brother Gu, what's the matter with you!!"

When the shepherd Han said that he didn't escape, Gu Yong, who had been able to barely support his upper body, was black and fell on the heavily padded carriage again.

This made the Korean shepherd panic. He stopped the procession and immediately investigated Gu Yong's situation.

"I, I'm fine..."

"Then why didn't you pull Gu Zheng down together? Was it Gu Zheng who sent me to the hospital?"

"Why did you let him go back alone! Why didn't you stop him!! why didn't you stop him!!"

Gu Yong's roar spread far and far in the open wilderness.

His roar was like a lone wolf who had lost his ethnic group, revealing deep sadness.

Han shepherd cried more sadly. He couldn't say to Gu Er Ge, who was already very weak, that Gu Zheng wanted to perform the duty of a soldier for his second brother, who could no longer go to the battlefield, and realize the ideal of protecting the family for a man who wanted to defend the country.

It was also his undoubted and unsuccessful decision to persuade.

"I... Gu Zheng's family all listen to Gu Zheng. I'm not strong enough, not strong enough, not even brave enough..."

Yes, he said he wanted Han shepherd to protect Gu Er Ge. In fact, why didn't Gu Zheng protect him?

When Han shepherd cried bitterly and Gu Yong hammered the carriage wall, the curtain covering all grief... Was lifted from the outside again.

Liang Lanping stood outside the carriage shed with an indifferent face and threw the towel originally used to wipe Gu Yong's body and change medicine on the face of the crazy patient.

"What are you crazy about? Isn't Gu Zheng still very much related to you?"

"If it weren't for a soldier brother like you who is dedicated to his country, why would he go to the battlefield with you?"

Speaking of Liang Lanping here, tears also came out, but she is a very gentle girl on weekdays, but she is stubborn and doesn't let herself cry.

She just rubbed the corners of her eyes with hatred, and then she despised herself: "and I, who always wanted to help him, was the admirer who helped him, which is another part of the reason why he died in front of the position."

"However, no matter how we look for the reason from ourselves, we can't resist Gu Zheng's own wish."

"If he didn't want to stick to the last minute, Gu Zheng would have followed the team and headed south with us."

"He is a hero, national and national. We can't talk about the wishes of heroes. We can only admire them from the bottom of our hearts. This is a hero's choice, not for others, but for thousands of people like you and me."

"I don't care whether you are Gu Zheng's second or eldest brother. All I know is that Gu Zheng's wish before leaving is to let us take good care of you and bring you to the rest of his family."

"Gu Zheng saved your life and mine. You and I should learn to be grateful!"

With that, Liang Lanping threw the curtain of the carriage, walked far away from the team, and burst into tears.

This intermittent cry spread to the humble but comfortable carriage, causing the people on the carriage to fall into a state of extreme shame.

Since then, Gu Yong, who woke up, never made a sound.

He just followed the motorcade quietly, and it was time to eat and drink. When he saw his family at the sea crossing Wharf in Guangcheng, the man who had recovered most of his vitality wailed out.

Even the elder brother Gu, who is still far away in Hong Kong City, has long learned the news of the fall of Pingcheng from various channels and domestic newspapers and media.

Among the exact death list obtained by people inside the army, the name of a person who does not belong to the military headquarters is prominently listed in front of everyone.

This is the name that has spread all over the north and south of the Republic of China. The owner of the name is their most wanton and self-centered little brother... Gu Zheng.

All this was accompanied by Gu Zheng's death notice and Gu's frustrated resignation.

The man of letters, who had fought for several governments and survived, finally lost confidence in the current government. After his eldest son came to Hong Kong City, he returned his transfer order to the original Nancheng government.

Also sent back with this was a severely worded letter, which was directly delivered to the case of the chairman of the Central Committee.

In this letter, Gu Chuanru satirized the leader who governed the country like doing business with an extremely sharp brush, and expressed a serious protest against the Kou army's non resistance strategy.

Since then, Gu's family will no longer stand on the side of the New Republic of China, and Gu Chuanru's reasons are also very sufficient.

Because of the pain of losing his son, he turned away from the world and lived in the south.

Let the leader who was often humiliated have a burning pain on his face, but he had to be forced by domestic public opinion to mark Gu Zheng as a hero and model of Anti Japanese.

Just as Gu Zheng looked at the newspapers full of his "photos", the screen of his mobile phone turned and turned to Gu Yong, who had been silent for a long time.

This is the door of the family house in the port city. The family who have never worried about money can still live comfortably and delicately even if the whole family moves to a strange environment.

But in this mansion, the room belonging to Gu Yong has been turned into a mess by its owner.

In the middle of the big bed, two suitcases have been neatly packed, which shows Gu Yong's determination to leave.

……

As the night grew darker, the prosperous port city became a quiet place for sporadic candles.

Taking advantage of the quiet and prepared Gu Yong, carrying the box, crept down the second floor and touched it in the direction of the living room to the door.

A trace of pure white moonlight sprinkled on the living room, providing enough light for Gu Yong. When he held the door handle with some joy

"Click"

The ceiling crystal headlamp in the living room suddenly lights up.

The bright light of glass lit up the whole house.

Sitting on the sofa under the lamp, two people from left to right stared at the man who was going to leave home alone.

"Gu Yong, where are you going?"

Gu Chuanru, who sat in the first place, had a hoarse voice and was tired of waiting up late.

The volume was not big, but Gu Yong's cold sweat flowed out.

"I... father, I want to go back to the North..."

Hearing this, Gu Chuanru was suddenly green, but years of self-restraint only made him hum a cold sentence: "what do you do with returning to the north?"

"What kind of government do you want to be loyal to?"

"Don't you forget why your brother died? If... If you had a heart to fight and held the belief that he would die, Pingcheng wouldn't lose so fast. We can't take care of the youngest child of our family to die."

"What? Are you going to throw our second son's life in for this kind of thing?"

Gu Chuanru's sarcasm did not surprise Gu Yong.

He knew his father's love and hate were clear, but he had his own interpretation of his father's words.

At this time, Gu Yong's eyes were amazing. He just asked Gu Chuanru, "as long as you don't join the government's army?"

"I know that in the west, there is another team. They are also fighting the enemy."

"Father, I want to see it. When Gu Zheng sent someone to escort me back, he asked me to find a chance to see the army, get to know the party and observe what this country needs."

"My brother said that I shouldn't be influenced by others, and my talent can't be buried."

"We should keep useful people and strive for a real career."

"Father, the place I'm going to on this trip is northern Shaanxi. If I see and hear everything, I'll forgive my child for being unfilial. I'm afraid I can't be filial to my father."

When Gu Yong said this, he put down the box in his hand and stood on the corridor by the door. As soon as Putong knelt down, he knocked his head three times at Gu Chuanru's "bang bang".

"But father, you taught the child. You always told me that as a soldier, we should first have a country and then a family."

"I think what I have to do is not only for my country, but also for my family."

Gu Yong, who finished kowtowing, didn't get up. He just looked at his father stubbornly and taught him the excellent father of three brothers who were equally successful with different personalities. He was waiting for the wise old man to make his final decision.

After a long silence, Gu Chuanru finally opened his mouth when his eldest brother couldn't help his brother.

"You go..."

"Remember what you said today. If you can come back alive, you will return to our old house."

"No matter how long, the family will stay here. You can't go home without a root."
