Bloody Romance —— Reading Leading the Wind

Because I was curious about the aura of Mao Dun's literature prize, I watched "Leading the Wind". This is a book describing some stories that happened when the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan field army advanced into Dabie Mountain on the eve of liberation.

The author of the novel, Mr. Xu Huaizhong, is a 90-year-old man. He is also a veteran who once marched into Dabie Mountain, and he has the most real experience of war.

The novel does not deliberately depict the grand scene of war, but selects some trivial scenes about love and the love between man and horse.

The novel is not long, only 6.5438+0.5 million words. At first glance, it seems that it can't be fascinating, but until the end, there is still a faint melancholy lingering in my heart for a long time.

Wang Kechao, when she first debuted, was a girl who was only 13 years old. She comes from Beiping and was born in a scholarly family. She had to follow her second brother to Yan 'an, but because of fate, she appeared on the battlefield stage with guqin in her arms. She instantly conquered the hearts of the officers and men present and ordinary people with a less skilled "Mountain Flowing Water". This part should be derived from the charm of art, but more, it is her innate affinity, which intoxicated the army and the people.

That night, Qi Jing, the head of "Night Tiger Group", met Kelly for the first time. Qi Jing is a rare young general on the battlefield. He returned from studying abroad, personable.

He recognized Wang's piano as an antique in the Song Dynasty at a glance and recited a poem by Bai Juyi casually. Wang Kechao was very interested and immediately wrote a white poem. Qi Jing also has his own unique views on music theory. This feeling of mountains and rivers meeting bosom friends makes people feel what will happen next between them.

Sure enough, four years later, after graduating from Taihang Middle School, Wang volunteered to be assigned to the army. And the original head Qi Jing.

Because of the expansion of the army, he was promoted to the "No.5" head of the ninth brigade, and later he was promoted to "No.1" because of his outstanding performance.

In four or five years, Kelly has grown from a thin little girl to a beautiful girl. The only constant is her trademark, innocent smile. The reunion of the two people caused quite a stir in Qi Jing's heart. He feels that the spring of life has really arrived.

Kelly became a culture teacher in the army. She has a profound knowledge of calligraphy and volunteered to write quotations on the wall. As the troops marched, her beautiful regular script handwriting was left on many walls on the vast Hebei-Shandong-Henan plain.

Wang's memory is amazing. He can recite it for a long time.

Passionate and generous speech, in which wonderful sentences were written on the wall as propaganda slogans, became a bright and splendid battlefield landscape.

The two of them, like a couple, seem to be a good match. And a kind of tacit affection, also secretly breeds in each other's hearts. If it weren't for such a special war era, I think they might be able to stage a love chapter of Qi Mei.

Unfortunately, things in the world are always unsatisfactory. In that transfer, Wang and several other female soldiers chose to jump off a cliff when the enemy approached. She had a bad fall and was still captured by the enemy.

In order to save them, Qi Jing also kidnapped the families of the local anti-* * forces in exchange, and finally let them return safely.

This is a PLA general with the heroic spirit of "meeting in a narrow way, the brave win", and a well-educated western-style head. However, in his bones, there are still serious remnants of feudal thought. For Wang Keyu, who narrowly escaped death by jumping off a cliff, he stubbornly believed that he should die heroically or die flawless. In short, we must investigate whether Xiao Wang is innocent.

This made Kelly despise him from the bottom of his heart. After this incident, she felt that her personality was insulted, so she had a plan to go. She is even more reluctant to drag down the troops because of her injuries.

Beneath Wang Kechao's seemingly weak appearance, he is wrapped with an independent and strong heart. What she has been pursuing is spiritual equality. Such girls are more worthy of respect.

So, the two separated. Unexpectedly, this parting is forever.

When Wang Ke just joined the army, night blindness and flat feet brought a lot of inconvenience to her March. In order to take care of her, Qi Jing gave her his mount Tan Zao for a long time.

Tan Zao is a very spiritual war horse. He once saved the lives of many soldiers on the battlefield. It quickly established an extraordinary relationship with Wang Jian.

In order to thank Tan Zao for taking care of himself, Xiao Wang decided to play a song "Guan Shanyue" on the guqin to show his heart. Unexpectedly, Tan Zao can really understand. As soon as he heard the piano, he ran to Xiao Wang in desperation. This kind of affection between man and horse is really touching.

Later, because of the situation, the army had to decide to kill all the horses to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy and being used by them. Such a tragic scene is really unbearable to read. Tan Zao, under the careful arrangement of personal bodyguard Cao, finally escaped from danger, which also greatly relieved readers.

Farmer Cao, tall and powerful, has a strong masculine atmosphere. He was dug up by Qi Jing from other chiefs at the cost of a Browning pistol. He is smart, alert, superior in military quality and loyal to his competitors.

In the army, handsome Cao is like a walking hormone. Wherever he goes, he always attracts the fiery eyes of countless big girls and little wives. He also always leaves many things behind according to the original instinct of impatient men.

Just for Wang Kechao, Cao Shuier thinks this is a perfect goddess that can't even be touched by his fingers. On the one hand, it may be because he thinks this is the woman the director loves and he wants to stay away from her. But for more reasons, I think Xiao Wang's innocent smile touched him and made him feel that he should care for the girl with his heart.

Therefore, when he later insisted on leaving the army and acting alone, Cao was duty-bound to play the role of protector.

When they are alone, Cao just wants to do his best to protect her safety and has no other wild desires. With the wisdom of survival, he dug a mud pit and let Yamakaji go. Later, he single-handedly beat four powerful patrols, which showed his extraordinary ability. They also found a cave as safe as heaven. Unfortunately, Wang died of injury.

Here, the author depicts Yue's body with fantastic brushstrokes, showing his love for this beautiful girl.

And Cao, in order to leave with dignity, spent all his savings to buy white cloth from ordinary people. I didn't expect to be brought back by the army and was eventually designed to be shot and raped. In this regard, he has no excuse. Perhaps, with the death of Xiao Wang, his heart has long been carefree.

The most surprising thing is that after Cao left, the lost beach jujube came back. People can't imagine how it carried Xiao Wang's body out and put it under the ginkgo tree she liked in front of her, blending with the Millennium ginkgo. Exhausted by this, it was finally pecked into a pile of bones by vultures. It fulfilled its master's wishes with its loyalty.

Finally, Qi Jing, who saw this scene, was full of sorrow and regret. He couldn't say anything and suddenly vomited blood and fainted to the ground.

This relationship made him live in endless regret for the rest of his life. So that after he wrote the Ginkgo tablet to commemorate the king, he took vitamin C tablets that he thought were sleeping pills and died immediately. Perhaps, be careful, all external forces are powerless.

This is really a bloody romantic history, beautiful and sad.

War is cruel, but behind the cruel war, people's yearning for a better life can still be seen. For example, Wang Kechao's cherished guqin, Qi Jing's heartfelt confession, Cao's inviolable feelings for Wang Kechao, and Tan Zao's unswerving loyalty to his master all make us feel that life can still bloom in bitter years.

Thanks to those who defend peace with their lives and beliefs, because of their contributions, we have a happy life today.
