In the desolate mountains, the moonlight sprinkled like water, illuminating the deep longing in the heart of the dog. Since running errands for Miao Chunlai, his longing for Xing'er has become stronger and stronger. Whenever the night fell and the bright moon hung high, he always stared silently at the bright sky, his eyes flashing with his affection for apricots. He said to Xiao Er, "I will definitely escape." As long as you don't see me one day, it means that I am far away.
My original intention of joining the army was just to save money to build a house and marry Xing'er. When he heard Song Yutao mention that he would disguise himself as a traitor the next day, his determination was even stronger. He tried to convince Xiao Er to go with him, because he knew that once he became a traitor, the crime would be with him for the rest of his life.
So, he planned to flee with Song Yutao and others when night fell. But he only planned to take Xiao Er home, but unexpectedly, their conversation was overheard by Zhao Tiezhu. In the dead of night, Zhao Tiehammer and his men stood guard outside the barracks door, keeping a close eye on their every move. In the early hours of the morning, Zhao Tiehammer used a flashlight to illuminate their beds, but only found the appearance of Gou Yu and Xiao Er.
The cunning Zhao Tiehammer pretended to leave, and then quietly returned, crouching outside the door. When Gou Yu and Xiao Er got up and prepared to go out, they sensed Zhao Tiezhu's trick. The dog remnants knew that something was wrong, they couldn't leave, and Song Yutao and the others might also be in danger. So, he came up with a plan to let Xiao Er drink more water, and pretended to go to the toilet, and poured cold water on Zhao Tiezhu and the others twice to force them to leave.
Then, Gou Yu pretended to be sick, quickly found Song Yutao and others, and informed them of the dangerous situation outside. Coincidentally, Song Yutao had also noticed the abnormality, so the three of them had to retreat into the house. Tang Yulong and Guo Liang also realized the change in the situation and returned one after another. The next day, Gou Yu was forced to put on a traitor costume. Although Gou Yu does not have lofty ideals, he is a Chinese with a conscience and is never willing to become a traitor.
For him, there is a world of difference from Hou Qi and others. Before this, Hou Qi's wife colluded with Miao Chunlai because of her temporary beauty. In order to facilitate the hookup between them, Miao Chunlai even opened a smoke shop and let Hou Qi serve as a soldier under him. Hou Qi thought he was a proud person, thinking that he had become a platoon commander by virtue of his ability, but he didn't know that all this was due to his wife.
However, Miao Chunlai never regarded Hou Qi as a confidant, but used him like a dog. He used Hou Qi to loot military supplies to supply himself with opium, and also used him to deal with Tang Yulong. In Miao Chunlai's eyes, Hou Qi was just a tool that obeyed his orders. Although Hou Qi was satisfied, he didn't realize that he was just a turtle grandson who was being used. Hou Qi tried to mention his wife in front of Miao Chunlai, but Miao Chunlai stopped him harshly. Hou Qi mistakenly thinks that this is a kind of preferential treatment from the leadership, but in fact it is nothing more than his ignorance.
Miao Chunlai's attitude towards the dog leftover began to change, especially after several events. First of all, Tang Yulong conspired with Gou Yu to act in a drama of righteous annihilation. After Miao Chunlai learned that Gou Yu was about to be executed, he was ready to have the recruits put him to death, but Tang Yulong pretended to be willing to put Gou Yu to death. But at the critical moment, Tang Yulong took out an urgent telegram from the brigade headquarters and pulled the dog back from the brink of death. This incident made Miao Chunlai's attitude towards Gou Yu change, and he began to doubt the relationship between Gou Yu and Tang Yulong.
Secondly, Miao Chunlai conducted a test on Gou Yu, and the results showed that Goyu's strength was extraordinary. Miao Chunlai ordered Gou Yu to shoot at the lights in the distance, and Gou Yu easily turned the lights out. Then, he let Gou Yu shoot Zhao Tiezhu's hand holding the horse lantern, once again proving Gou Yu's ability. In the end, Goyu showed his strong will, and even though he was beaten half to death, he never leaked any news.
All this shows that although Gou Yu lacks cultural education, he has a thorough insight into human nature. He has always seen through Miao Chunlai's true face, but under the pressure of Miao Chunlai and Tang Yulong's persuasion, he reluctantly accepted to become Miao Chunlai's henchman.
At the same time, when Hou Qi bullied Xiao Er, Gou Yu did not choose to retaliate, but was determined to settle with Miao Chunlai. His actions are based on his own judgment, not on passive choice. In contrast, Hou Qi only knew how to bully others with his own power, and even flattered Miao Chunlai. But he did not know that he who has done iniquity will suffer the consequences. Hou Qi's fate is not destined to be good.
