Haiwa was fourteen years old, a child of Longmen Village.
One evening, with a goat whip in his waist and a red tasseled spear, Haiwa was on sentry duty under a small tree on a hill.
At that moment, a man climbed up the path from the sunny slope, and he called from a distance, "Haiwa! Haiwa!" Haiwa heard his father's voice and rushed to meet him. Dad took out a letter from his pocket and said to Haiwa, "Go to Sanwangzhuang at once and send it to the commanding officer, Captain Zhang." Haiwa took the letter to see, the corner of the letter inserted three chicken feathers, know is a top urgent chicken feather letter. Haiwa put the letter in his pocket, drove the sheep around the cliff, and suddenly saw the "message tree" on the top of the west hill fell. Oh no! The ghosts were found on the other side of the mountain. Haiwa thought, this small road can not go, let's take the big road. But when he looked back, there was a group of ghosts robbing the grain outside the big mountain pass.
The ghosts are getting closer and closer. Haiwa was anxious, where to hide the chicken feather letter? He looked at the fat sheep's tail, a heartbeat, he snatched to the front and hugged the old sheep with the head, twisted the long hair at the root of its tail into two thin hair rope, folded the letter of the chicken hair, tied under the tail. Haiwa wasn't afraid of anything anymore, he flung the sheep whip loudly and rushed towards the ghosts. "Stop!" The ghosts yelled, raising their guns with a clatter and pointing them at Haiwa's little head. A crooked-mouthed black dog in a black uniform ran over, grabbed Haiwa by the neck, and pulled him in front of a mustachioed ghost. Haiwa is not afraid, he deliberately tilted his head, mouth wide open, staring stupidly at the moustache. The moustache said "search", the crooked mouth black dog immediately started, touch patch, pull out the holes, the sea all over the body searched, even the two broken shoes did not let go, the result is nothing to search. The moustache only want to go into the mountains early to grab food, then rushed to the sea wa shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Haiwa turned back and ran, he gathered the sheep, and vigorously flung the sheep whip, wishing to fly. Unexpectedly, the crooked mouth black dog caught up with him again, he used a gun to force Haiwa, want Haiwa to drive the sheep back to the mountain, and squeezed his eyes, crooked mouth grinning, "The Imperial Army has not eaten yet! These sheep, enough for us to eat a few meals!" Haiwa can't help but follow. The sun went down, the ghosts of the team came to a small mountain in front of the village, in the threshing floor slaughtered a few sheep burned mutton to eat. Haiwa could not care less about his sheep, he quietly put his hand to the old sheep's big tail under a touch, the chicken feather letter is still hanging as usual! He screamed in his heart "You're still here!"
The ghosts ate their fill, one by one, touching their bellies, and went to sleep in the house. The crooked-mouthed black dog told Haiwa to drive the sheep into the livestock pen, then grabbed Haiwa by the neck and pulled Haiwa into the house. The ghosts and the black dogs slept on the hay with their guns in their arms, squeezing Haiwa into the end. Haiwa couldn't sleep, he thought: "The ghosts will slaughter the sheep tomorrow, if they can't run away tonight, the chicken hair letter will be finished." He couldn't stop complaining about himself: "Haiwa, Haiwa, how do you mess up, even a chicken feather letter will not send ah! ...... "Suddenly, he heard the sentry outside yell, "Which one?" Someone replied, "The one that feeds the animals!" The sentry said nothing. A short while later, a chicken crowed in the distance.
The chicken crowed twice. Haiwa where still lying, he sat up to see that the sentry at the door is dozing. So he stood up quietly, tiptoed on his left foot and flicked the crooked-mouthed black dog's arm out of the way, jumped past the moustache man, flashed to the door, and stepped gingerly over the sentry's thighs and slipped out onto the road at the edge of the village. "Which one?" The sentry on the other side of the street growled. "The one that feeds the animals!" Haiwa replied in a grown-up voice. The sentry just ignored him. Haiwa walked into the livestock pen, grabbed the old sheep in his arms, unhooked the chicken letter from under its tail, slipped it into his pocket, spread his legs, and ran, in one breath, up the mountain beam behind the manor.
As dawn broke, Haiwa ran to the side of the mountain's mouth and heard someone yelling in front of him. He looked up and saw a ghost holding a small white flag at the end of the mountain beam, waving it back and forth toward Haiwa. Haiwa took off the body of the white cloth lab coat, like the way the ghosts also swayed back and forth. Unexpectedly, really mixed through. Haiwa turned over the mountain mouth, a breath of running to the top of the opposite side of the mountain. In front of the three Wangzhuang la. Haiwa was very happy, he sat on his butt on the hill, put his hand into his pocket and touched it, but did not feel shivering. Where is the chicken feather letter? There is no pocket, quickly took off his lab coat to look for, also no; the side of the stone cracks are looking all over, still no. Haiwa immediately ran back, looking for it on the way here. He ran up the big mountain, climbed to the small mountain mouth next to the place where he had just shaken his lab coat, the chicken feather letter was lying there properly. Haiwa was very happy, put the letter into his pocket, just want to turn back and run, suddenly behind someone shouting, crooked mouth black dog caught up. He grabbed Haiwa and shot a few butt shots in a row, telling Haiwa to go back and lead the way for the ghosts.
The moustache guy waved the foreign knife, and the ghosts and the black dog set off again. Haiwa drove the sheep in the middle of them, crossed the mountain, came to the three Wangzhuang eyes. Haiwa saw the mountain "message tree" put down, needless to say, Zhang Lianchang's team already know the ghosts came. Ghosts do not know anything, they are in the ditch, and smoke, and eat mutton. After resting enough, a team of black dogs went first, trying to walk up the middle road to the mount. The hillside suddenly boomed a few times, up a column of black smoke, black dogs stepped on a mine. The moustache guy threw down those black dogs and said to Haiwa, pointing to the path, "You lead the way in front, and the Imperial Army is behind you. Understand?"
Haiwa walked far ahead of the ghosts. The woods forked into two roads, a path and a sheep path. He drove the sheep up the sheep path. The crooked-mouthed black dog yelled from underneath, "Wrong way!" Haiwa let go of his voice and said, "That's right! I've walked it. Let's go!" Sheep road is getting steeper and steeper, more and more difficult to walk, the ghosts walk a section, stop a section, far behind. Moustache roared: "Slowly!" Haiwa pretended not to hear, one step tight step forward. Ghosts shouted vigorously: "Stop! If you don't stop, I'll shoot!" Haiwa did not listen to him, threw a whip, desperately running forward. The ghosts really fired. Haiwa ran with the flock, but he really can not run. He fell into the grass and let go of his voice: "The devils are coming up! Fight! Hurry up and fight!"
There was a sudden burst of volley fire from the mount, followed by another burst. Haiwa heard it, this is the sound of their own people's gunfire. His legs came to life again, and he climbed up and desperately lunged toward the mount. Suddenly he opened his arms, "ouch" scream, fainted in the grass. A guerrilla fighter ran over and picked up Haiwa.
Waiting until Haiwa opened his eyes, he saw squatting beside him is Zhang Lianchang, hastily said: "letter ...... chicken feather letter ......" his wounds hurt terribly, and said and Passed out, Haiwa woke up again, he was already lying on the warm bed, covered with a soft blanket. The sun shone through the window and shone on the bed. Company Commander Zhang smiled and asked Haiwa, "Feeling better? Does it still hurt?" Haiwa didn't care about the pain, he asked Company Commander Zhang, "Where is this place?" Company Commander Zhang laughed out loud, stroked Haiwa's head and said, "Have you forgotten? Didn't you send a chicken feather letter yesterday? That was the intelligence your father asked you to send. Our team smashed the ghosts' artillery building based on the intelligence. Thanks to you, little Bailu, little hero!"
Haiwa then remembered to send the chicken feather letter. He blushed and quickly asked, "Did you surrender your guns?" Company Commander Zhang said, "Surrendered a large bundle, are brand-new oily 38-type fast guns!" Haiwa said happily, "Then give me one!"
