In spring and March, the sky in Nanjing is always overcast and humid.【】
Su Shaoqing in Room No. 1 was sitting in front of her, looking at the gloomy sky. Many past memories came to her face like a tide. She suddenly remembered that when she was eleven years old, her name was Wu Fengying.
Ah! She let out a long sigh in her heart, that happened in another life! The sound of the strings and the clang of the gongs and drums seemed to be coming from outside. At that time, she was holding up her orchid fingers, tiptoeing, and was singing on the small stage.
She speaks coquettishly, laughs and curses. Her stage name is Xiao Wuying, which is written on the water sign in either big or small.
That day was the Qingming Festival, the Cold Food Festival. The theater troupe was not singing, and there was no fire at home. Her adoptive father Wu Da and the class leader, as well as other men in the theater troupe, all went to the tavern to eat. She and her adoptive mother Wang sat in meditation
At home, I ate cold pancakes slowly and felt the silence and tranquility.
When the adoptive mother talked about the past, she had already guessed some of the plot. The adoptive mother was in poor health and had never given birth. Therefore, she already knew that she was adopted. But as long as she could remember, she had experienced hardships and had already
He understands human relationships and never mentions adoption.
For many years to come, the past events Su Shaoqing talked about that day flowed in her mind like a play.
That was 192. In July, the Wu-Duan-Zhi-Wan War broke out. It was really chaos and artillery fire. In September, a severe drought in the north made the disaster worse. The newspaper said that Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi
, the five provinces of Hebei suffered from the worst drought in 40 years. More than 20 million people fled their homes and more than 500,000 people died from hunger and disease.
Her adoptive parents, Wu Da and his wife, carried the swords, guns, swords and halberds they used for performing arts, and carried their baggage, following the refugee flow, moving forward aimlessly.
Mrs. Wang touched her husband's arm and asked him to move forward. In front of them was a mother carrying two daughters on her back. The mother was sick and hungry and could hardly walk. The Wu Da couple had been married for many years and had never given birth to children.
The two children in the mother attracted them.
The mother finally couldn't walk anymore. She sat down against the earthen wall. Her hair was disheveled, her face was charred, and her breath was weak. She was silently caring for the two children in her arms. Mr. and Mrs. Wu stood not far away, watching the mother.
. They saw the corners of the mother's mouth twitching and shaking her head. What happened next made them shocked.
The mother slowly pulled up a child's sleeve and bit her arm hard.
The Wu Da couple thought that the mother was going crazy with hunger and wanted to eat her child's flesh, so they rushed over immediately.
But the mother had already let go. But she grabbed the other child's arm and bit it down hard again. The two children screamed and cried. The mother tore off the cloth strips from her clothes and bandaged the child's arms.
.Then, she raised her head and stared at the Wu Da couple standing in front of them.
She picked up a child and held it up in front of Wu Da. She begged him to take it. Wu Da held the child but couldn't bear to take it. The mother then held the child to another refugee who was watching. The man shook his head.
walked away.
Wu Da knelt down in front of the mother, took out half a pancake from the bag and handed it to her. But the mother shook her head and raised the child in front of him again. Wu Da really couldn't bear to accept it.
At this time, a dark and thin young man squatted down in front of the mother. While watching the mother's expression, he tried to pick up the child in her arms. The mother put a child into his arms.
There, the dark and skinny young man didn't say anything, picked up the child and ran away.
The mother turned to the Wu Da couple again and held up her child. Her eyes were as dark as dry wells, without any life, and all that was left was begging. Wu Da slowly stretched out his big hands. The child fell into the
In his arms.
That mother disappeared from the world, at least in the memories of the Wuhan University couple and their adopted daughter.
The Wu Da couple named their child Wu Fengying and lived with them in hardship.
They walked through the streets and set up stalls and performed on the roadside. Wu Fengying, who was just over one year old, held a small gong in her hands and opened her big eyes, begging for money from passers-by.
When Wu Fengying was three years old, she began to learn martial arts from her adoptive father. Under the supervision of Zhu Mie, she could raise her feet above her head, lower her waist to the ground, fly her fists and horse steps, and kick her feet to move around very neatly. What she practiced best was
A set of through-arm boxing. The little girl actually fought so powerfully that smoke was everywhere, and she won applause from outside the court.
When she was five years old, her adoptive parents followed a Kunqu opera troupe that was wandering in the countryside, and her life was a little more stable. Because she had practiced martial arts, she learned Dao Ma Dan and Xiao Wu Sheng in the theater troupe. As she grew older, she also learned Tsing Yi and Hua Dan. In the theater troupe,
There are not many people, so she has to learn whatever role she needs. At the age of eight, she began to perform on stage. Her stage name was given by the class leader, and she was called Xiao Wuying. When she was seventeen, she was already living in the countryside of Jiangnan, in the mountainous areas of Anhui and Jiangxi
He has become quite famous.
It was when she was seventeen years old... Su Shaoqing, who was sitting in front of her, seemed to be dreaming that she once had a husband! He was a forty-year-old man, Hong Shankui, the leader of the Luofengling bandit village in the Anhui-Jiangxi Mountains.
That year, the theater troupe's business was not good. The theatergoers could not get an appointment, so they had to go deep into the mountains. Traffic in the mountains was blocked, and there was no theater for many years. Maybe someone would decide to invite them to perform in a few plays.
The troupe settled in a place called Lanling Town deep in the mountains and set up a stage in a teahouse at the corner of the street.
Wu Fengying appeared first, performing the back-up scene "Jade Bracelet Picking Up". She was a hit as soon as she appeared on the stage.
I saw her, her hair covered with colorful hair, her cheeks pasted on her temples, and her hair combed with horns. On her face, her willow-leaf eyebrows were carefully traced, her mouth was moistened with cherry blossoms, and her eyes were sparkling with water.
Wearing an embroidered jacket, floor-length trousers, a red-flowered dinner sheet around her waist, and a four-year-old wedding bag, she picked a white handkerchief with her slender fingers, half covering her pretty pink face. She strolled around the stage, pouting her little mouth.
Chicken, holding the index finger to thread the needle, looked around shyly, and secretly picked up the jade bracelet.
She sang in a melodious voice, Xipi Shaking Ban: "Just now the door opened, and I came to take a look. I saw a beautiful young man, better than Pan An..."
The cheers in the teahouse were continuous.
Behind the tea table, there was a big man sitting. He had a leopard head and ringed eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist. He had a big grin and laughed. His eyes were only filled with Sun Yujiao flying all over the table.
The next day, the troupe went on the road and continued walking into the mountains. They met bandits on the way and the entire troupe was kidnapped and taken to the mountains.
The leader in charge said harsh words: "If Xiao Wuying stays, the troupe will survive. If Xiao Wuying doesn't stay, the troupe will die."
The troupe leader and adoptive parents were both low-level people who had been timid and afraid of getting into trouble all their lives. At this moment, they all knelt in front of Wu Fengying and begged her to appreciate the troupe and reward them all, so that they could live a better life.
Wu Fengying's heart was broken, and she hugged her adoptive mother Wang's neck and just kept crying. It was really difficult to live and die.
In the evening, she stood on the top of the mountain, watching her adoptive parents and the people in the troupe drifting away. From then on, she and her adoptive parents separated and never saw each other again. They had passed away like the meteors of her life.
.
Back in the cottage, a group of women and girls surrounded her and walked towards the bridal chamber. Wu Fengying stood at the door of the bridal chamber, pulled out a short knife from her arms, and refused to enter the bridal chamber.
Hong Shankui came out of the bridal chamber and laughed at her, even more appreciative in his heart. He took out the cannon box from his waist, handed it to her and said: "You shoot out the red candle in the room with one shot, and I will let you go down the mountain immediately."
Wu Fengying fired three shots in succession, but the red candle in the room did not move.
Hong Shankui took the box cannon and shot out two red candles in the room. This made Wu Fengying have some respect for this rough man.
After entering the bridal chamber, Wu Fengying sat on the bed. Hong Shankui sat next to her and went to hold her hand. Wu Fengying was unwilling and grabbed his wrist with her backhand. Hong Shankui did not get angry or annoyed, he spun up and raised his arms above his head.
, instantly stretched out his ape arms and picked her up by the waist. Wu Fengying struggled to survive, and climbed onto the jade pillar, wrapping her legs around his waist, stretching out two fingers and looking into his eyes.
Hong Shankui said: "My little lady, when you walk in the world, you must always keep your word."
Wu Fengying sighed secretly, knowing that she was in the wrong and couldn't help but soften.
At night, on the wedding bed, Hong Shankui was like a black bear hugging a white rabbit, coaxing Wu Fengying and loving her in every possible way. Wu Fengying was blushing and waiting with her eyes closed.
The first moment when the man entered was bearable. But after a moment, even she herself couldn't explain why, the momentary pain came not from her body, but from her heart and lungs. She only felt extremely painful.
Unable to bear it, she couldn't help but hug Hong Shankui's neck and burst into tears. She didn't know where the grief came from, and she couldn't explain it. Many years later, she counted the days carefully and realized that he was actually far away from her.
Related to the twin sisters of Qianli.
Hong Shankui loved her even more, held her in his arms, patted her gently, and coaxed her to sleep.
From then on, Wu Fengying followed Hong Shankui and became Mrs. Yazhai. In the meeting hall, she wore a black turban with wings and a black satin cloak, and sat next to Hong Shankui.
During this period of time, she felt the care and love she had never experienced in her life, and she also enjoyed the joy of being pampered and spoiled by a girl.
She was in the room and when she saw Hong Shankui was about to come in, she ducked behind the door. As soon as he came in, she smiled like a stubborn monkey and jumped on his tiger's back. She strangled his neck with her left arm and made him grin.
He opened his mouth and kicked him on the back of his knee, making him kneel down on one knee. Then he stepped forward and punched him on the forehead, making his eyes wide open. Hong Shankui roared angrily.
, grabbed her from his shoulder with one hand, threw her on the bed like a small pillow, and rushed to clean her up. Wu Fengying hugged his neck and just screamed "咷咷" in vain.
struggle.
Wu Fengying learned good marksmanship from Hong Shankui, and she also had good martial arts. She was respected by her brothers and called her "Mrs. Phoenix". Wu Fengying and Hong Shankui made a three-part agreement: do not hurt the people, do not disturb the neighbors, and do not take away wives and daughters. Hong Shan
Kuidu agreed.
The next year, the Japanese invaded the country. They were defeated like a mountain, leaving behind stragglers all over the place who committed bandits and thieves and harmed the villagers. The squires of Lanling Town carried pigs and sheep up the mountain and respectfully asked Hong Shankui to protect the place. Hong Shankui turned around.
Seeing Wu Fengying nodding to him, he agreed. After that, he often led his men out of the mountains to eliminate banditry. Later, he also attacked heavy Japanese troops or small groups of puppet troops.
In August 1939, Hong Shankui led his brothers to intercept a Japanese convoy, but was ambushed by a puppet security group. The brothers suffered heavy casualties, and Hong Shankui was also killed. The morale of the army was in chaos. Wu Fengying held two guns in her hands.
He jumped up and shouted: No chaos! He ordered people to carry Hong Shankui's body and left first. He divided his troops to stop the attack and fought and retreated, but it was difficult to get out of the predicament for a while.
At this moment, a small unit of the New Fourth Army suddenly rushed out halfway and caught the pseudo-security group by surprise. Wu Fengying then led her brothers back to Luofengling.
Wu Fengying thus became the big boss of Luo Fengling.
The death of Hong Shankui made Wu Fengying feel very worried. She knew that there must be a traitor who tipped off the accident, but she couldn't find any clues for a while. She thought calmly and secretly sent reliable brothers to Lanling Town and the county to find out the news.
Just like how she planted spies in Nanjing many years later. A few months later, she got the news that two of her chief managers were colluding with the pseudo-security group.
Wu Fengying was furious after hearing the news, and ordered the two leaders to be tied to a tree, and asked his men to come forward and whip them in turns. The two leaders cried like ghosts and howled like wolves, but only their eyes fell on the second master. He couldn't bear it anymore and cried: "
Second Master, please tell me something, you were the one who ordered us to do this in the first place."
Wu Fengying drew a gun and pointed it at the second boss, shouting: "I have long suspected that you were the culprit!" He shot through his Tianling Cap, and then he breathed out a bad breath.
At the end of that year, a man who looked like a profiteer went up the mountain to see Mrs. Feng. He called himself Zhang Bowei.
Madam can give him some help. Wu Fengying did not take this profiteer seriously and asked him what happened. Zhang Bowei said that he had to transport a batch of goods recently and passed here, but the road was not safe, so he asked Madam Feng if he could
He sent some brothers to help him escort the goods. Wu Fengying asked him where the goods were to be transported. Zhang Boyei said that they would be transported to the north of Qinglianjiang River. Wu Fengying's heart moved, and the north of Qinglianjiang River was the territory of the New Fourth Army. When she thought of the New Fourth Army, she thought of the New Fourth Army's rescue.
She was in danger. She did not reveal the matter, but only agreed to send someone to escort her.
After that, Zhang Bowei came often. He had a good capacity for drinking and drank with Wu Fengying. After a bowl of wine, Zhang Bowei chatted freely and told many things about the situation outside the mountain. He actually became an important source of intelligence for Wu Fengying.
.
Suddenly one day, Uncle Zhang came again and told him: The New Fourth Army had an operation at the foot of the mountain on New Year's Day and asked Mrs. Feng if she would help. Wu Fengying smiled at him, already knowing that this man was not a mortal and left no trace of his words or deeds.
He was very interested in establishing contact with the New Fourth Army behind him, so he agreed immediately.
After that, Zhang Bowei still came often. Sometimes he brought information, and sometimes he brought some supplies that were lacking on the mountain. The last time he came, he brought a man named Du Ziyuan, an officer of the New Fourth Army.
Su Shaoqing sat in front of him and suddenly thought that she and Du Ziyuan had not seen each other for more than three years. She didn't know where he was now or what he was doing. At this time, she was in trouble again, and she missed Du Ziyuan even more.
…
Su Shaoqing in room No. 2 was asleep, but her mind was not stable.
The running around for days has exhausted her physically and mentally, reaching the limit. Now she can finally relax and take a good rest.
However, the unexpected appearance of another woman, a woman who looked so much like her, still surprised her. It also made her life's smokey past flow into her dreams like water.
From the time she can remember, she has been the daughter of the Su family, the apple of her parents' eyes. Everyone in the family has loved and protected her. She has never heard that she has a twin sister. She has never heard that she has a twin sister.
.
His father, Su Hanchen, was a theater fan, and the Su family often had gatherings. This was something Su Shaoqing had known about since he was a child.
However, no one expected that five-year-old Su Shaoqing would suddenly become obsessed with Beijing opera, just like her father.
There was another party at home that day. Su Shaoqing, who was playing in the courtyard, heard the sound of the piano, stood up, and walked steadily to the living room. She slowly walked into the living room, stood at the door and looked at the entertainers who were singing in the hall. Listening
The sound of the piano was as loud as water, and the gongs and drums were as loud as explosions. The water sleeves were fluttering, and the eyebrows were frowning, and he was stunned.
The maid chased after her, waving the fan for her, and wanted to take her to play elsewhere. But she stood still and actually entered the living room, walked to her father, leaned against his knees, and listened attentively.
She put her little hand on her father's knee and patted it gently along with the drum board.
The father lowered his head and smiled at her. He saw her raising her hand again, with her orchid fingers raised, making a cloud-hand look. The father held her on his lap, held her little hand, and followed the artist's movements, one by one.
There is actually something about imitation. This fact made my father smile from ear to ear.
Her father specially hired a teacher for her to teach her opera. To learn opera, she had to practice martial arts. Her father simply hired a martial arts instructor from the team to teach her martial arts. The martial arts instructor punched her one after another, and she actually nodded her hands.
I chose Tongjiquan. Fortunately, Tongjiquan is one of the five major types of boxing in Shanxi, so it didn’t surprise my family.
Su Shaoqing, who was only five years old, put in a lot of effort in learning opera and practicing martial arts, which amazed his family.
When she was six years old, the opera she learned had already taken shape. Holding two small wooden swords, she entertained herself with her father in the study, performing "Farewell My Concubine". The young Shaoqing sang and danced.
, every move is on the board. The song is: "The king is sleeping peacefully in the tent..." After singing, he took his sword and killed himself, spinning around and falling to the ground. Before his father could say anything, he was already laughing loudly.
He smiled and held her in his arms.
Xiao Shaoqing said: "Dad, why are you laughing? I committed suicide."
The father laughed, "Even if my father commits suicide, I can't let my daughter commit suicide."
It turned out to be a prophecy. In the autumn of 1934, Su Hanchen was a major general and division commander, and led his troops to encircle and suppress the Red Army in Sichuan. The battle was defeated, and his father had no way to retreat, so he committed suicide by drinking alcohol.
When my mother received the news, she burst into tears and fainted twice. The whole family was in chaos.
At this time, I heard a loud Jinghu sound coming from her daughter's room, which was desolate and tragic. Fourteen-year-old Su Shaoqing, holding two swords, sang in a tearful voice: "Your Majesty, please close your clothes and sleep peacefully in the tent..." After singing, he started to sing
The sword scratched her neck, and the unedged sword actually made a bloody mark on her neck. Su Shaoqing fell to the ground like a zombie. Her face was full of tears, and she cried: "Daddy!"
Two years later, she went to high school. The following year, the Anti-Japanese War broke out. Su Shaoqing joined the Three Youth League.
Soon, the school organized some students to go to the countryside to publicize the anti-Japanese war. She was enthusiastic and went too.
Su Shaoqing was tossing and turning in her dream, unable to sleep peacefully. The past was like smoke, flooding her like water, making her unable to breathe and causing her unstoppable pain.
On the way to promote the anti-Japanese war in the countryside, they met a small group of Eighth Route Army soldiers. The leading Eighth Route Army captain was named Li. He laughed and said, "Let's walk, walk, together."
However, at night, they were attacked by the small group of eight soldiers. The male students were locked in the room, and the female students... It was the captain named Li who threw Su Shaoqing to the ground.
That night, the cries, screams, and fighting sounds of female students kept ringing.
At dawn, everything became quiet. The male and female students gathered in the room and cried bitterly.
Some people also said: "They are not the Eighth Route Army. Most of the Eighth Route Army have southern accents. These people speak Shanxi dialect."
The two sides were at loggerheads.
The male students knelt down and swore to heaven that they would never tell anyone about this.
All the female students were silent. In that era, for women, life was a small matter and indolence was a big deal.
Su Shaoqing never told this matter. However, her temperament changed. When she was in person, her eyes were like a cone, penetrating into the bones of the other person. She could not speak a few words, but she would punch him in the face. Three or five men were no match for her.
She wanted to take a gun to the battlefield and kill someone happily.
…
The two Su Shaoqings, one awake and the other dreaming, are both captured by the smoke of the past, making it difficult to suppress them.
But in the surveillance room between the two rooms, Cheng Yunfa and Zhao Minggui were discussing how to interrogate them. Judging from what they already knew, they had nothing to ask Su Shaoqing No. 1. If you want to ask, ask No. 2
No. Su Shaoqing.
They made a suggestion to Ye Gongjin, suggesting that he invite three people. The first was Shi He, the instructor of the special personnel training class at Peking Station. The second was Su Shaoqing's former boss, Shen Fuming, director of the 13th Army Coordination Office. The third was
It was Su Shaoqing's mother, Mrs. Su. They believed that these three people would be able to tell who was real and who was fake.
