About This Novel
In early spring in northern Shaanxi, the sun warms up during the day, and the harsh spring cold returns as soon as the sun sets. Strong winds howl in the wilderness with little vegetation. Peng Dehuai had a sullen face, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was studying the map under the oil lamp. A small oil lamp made of Western medicine bottles kept blowing out the lights, making the cave dim and bright. Reconnaissance staff officer Xiao Yang and guard squad leader Xiao Zhou sat on the edge of the kang and slept against the wall. There were piles of homespun clothes and sheep belly hand towels borrowed from fellow villagers on the kang. Several long rooster crows were heard in the distance. Peng Dehuai looked up at the white window paper and blew out the oil lamp. He walked to the kang, picked up the homespun clothes and put one on each of the two young men. He also pulled one over and put it on himself, then lay down in the middle of the kang and closed his eyes.
