The man was arrested by the police at the police station.

The news and Dawn came to Kamatawa Village together. The villagers did not distinguish between the truth and the falsity of the news, let alone were surprised.

It is a common name in the countryside for gamblers who are addicted to gambling. The people of Kamidu Wang Village called the people who made a living from tofu as tofu customers, the people who made bellows as bellows customers, those who coordinated between buyers and sellers in the market towns as tooth customers, and the men with bad styles called prostitutes and such women kiln customers. The name of a gambler is derived from a very old gambling device. In the consciousness of the contemporary villagers of Guidu Wang Village, the guest is specifically referring to Wang Jialiu, and whoever says the guest will understand that it refers to Wang Jialiu.

Wang Jialiu's reputation for gambling is well known far and wide. After the liberation, it was banned for many years, and the male and female villagers who were born later saw the mahjong like looking at handicrafts, which Wang Jialiu got back from nowhere. Beige, bony, small and exquisite, printed with dots of flowers. It was shaped like a brick that had shrunk more than a hundred times. So gamblers don't talk about playing mahjong at all, but use the jargon to "move a few bricks". Wang Jialiu couldn't find an opponent when he got back mahjong, so he called a few friends who were right, took the trouble to teach them how to play mahjong, and then sat around the kang to play. Wang Jialiu's woman didn't expect this thing to be so evil at first, but she just played like playing cards and chess, and she enthusiastically handed out cigarettes to those who came to enjoy the fun! They began to gamble with a low-quality paper cigarette, then a penny and a half penny, and then from a corner ticket to a block ticket, and then a lump of ten dollars and a lump of tickets fell like persimmon leaves. Wang Jialiu's woman has long been remorseful, and the village is chasing Wang Jialiu's traces. Wang Jialiu sometimes did not show up for three days or five days, she carried a kitchen knife all over the village and streets, and threatened to chop off Dog Day's hand.

Wang Jia six dozen mahjong has been cultivated into a real kung fu. As soon as he opened mahjong, if there was no disturbance from the police at the police station and the woman with a kitchen knife, he could continue to play, without eating a mouthful of food or drinking a sip of water, and would not doze off, the highest record was five days and six nights. That night is a deep memory, when I entered the tunnel (repaired during the preparation for the war), the wheat only appeared yellow, and when I left the tunnel, most of the wheat in the river and the plain had already been harvested. When his woman slashed at his neck with a scythe, he skillfully grabbed her wrist, twisted it behind her back, pushed her through the door, and then took out a thick bundle of tickets from her waist and stuffed them into her bosom and said, "See if you can make up for the wheat that has been shaken down by the wind?" Wang Jialiu has deep gambling skills, but his gambling skills are also average, and it is said that he does not rely on gambling skills at all but on luck. He has wins and losses, and naturally he is happy and frustrated, he wants to bet when he wins, and he wants to bet even more when he loses. No matter how much the villagers despise their relatives and friends, the sheriff's reprimand, or the troubled woman's rampage, when they see the gambler's eyes, they all disappear and forget about it. His legitimate livelihood is to kill pigs and sell meat, buy pigs from farmers and then slaughter them for sale, and accumulate at least 30,000 yuan of income, but most of them are filial to gamblers. He gambled the money in his own hand, lost and searched the woman's passbook, and lost the bet.

The woman finally caught him, tore his ears and dragged him home, how much did he lose tonight? The woman asked and said that when she went to the casino, she naturally had money on her, and since she didn't lose or win, the money should be handed over immediately. He still laughed and said that he didn't have a dollar at all, just to see the excitement. So, she stripped him of his clothes, searched the inside and searched the mezzanine, and sure enough, she only found a few rotten gross tickets. She was sure he had lost it all. The man Wang Jialiu jumped on the kang and jumped under the table, but she still kept chasing and fighting. Wang Jialiu's head and face were bulging with egg-like bumps, and red blood marks were crisscrossed horizontally and vertically on his body. Wang Jialiu couldn't hold it anymore, so he pulled the door latch and fled out, the woman was in a hurry to catch up with two steps, and a guy smashed on his leg and wrist that didn't cross the threshold. Wang Jialiu fell outside the door with a thud, and the leg that was beaten threw off his cotton shoes in a hurry, and a ten-yuan denomination flew out of the shoe's socket, and there were seventy or eighty pieces of renminbi in denomination at least. She didn't care whether he fell dead or alive, and hurriedly threw down the rolling pin and picked up the ticket. At this time, Wang Jialiu had already fled like a golden cicada. He was not very uncomfortable, and there were still five or six hundred pieces hidden in the other cotton shoe, and it was fortunate that it had been preserved. He rushed to the casino again.

The young man has just entered the year of confusion. His Lao Tzu is a butcher killer who laughs at the Buddha, born with a smiling face, but he has achieved a lifetime of white knives in and red knives out. No matter how kind he is, after all, he is a knife hand who kills, and he is a ninth-rate, and he can't enter the ancestral hall of the Wang family. Those patriarchs who eat pork and drink pig's blood can get in, but he can't get in and kill pigs, and he hasn't seriously thought about it, and if he doesn't get in, he won't get in. Wang Jialiu was born with a handsome appearance, a handsome waist, handsome shoulders, handsome eyebrows, eyes, and a handsome face. People say that this baby inherits all the advantages of the old butcher and excludes the defects of the old butcher, such as Lao Tzu's watery eyes There is no trace. Lao Tzu can't enter the ancestral hall and Jialiu doesn't have to worry about whether to enter the ancestral hall at all, the ancestral hall has already been converted into the office of the Guidu King Brigade.

Wang Jialiu is handsome and has a bad fate. He had just been in high school for a year but had delayed graduation for a few years, which coincided with the endless ***** movement. When he returned to Guiduwang Village, he participated in the "Agricultural Dazhai" movement. He was educated, could write and paint, and often helped the party branch to carry out propaganda work, and the walls of the village and streets were full of slogans, slogans and pictures he wrote. His handsome eyebrows and eyes attract not only young men, but also young women. He soon became the leader of the youth, and soon replaced the secretary of the Youth League branch, who was already overage, and became an important role in the village of Gudu Wang. Although it is inevitable that there are some gossips, and the descendants of those who can't enter the ancestral hall actually shout in front of people, they can't be put on the table because of the musty smell. Moreover, the party branch secretary Wang who is over sixty years old attaches great importance to Wang Jialiu, and obviously expresses his intention to train Jialiu as a successor. Wang Zhishu and Captain Liu have been inseparable for decades, and no one can get rid of anyone, and no one can obey anyone, and the fundamental reason for this situation lies in the two surnames of Guidu Wang Village represented by the two. The old branch secretary was the first to feel threatened because he was more than ten years older than the captain, and wanted to train a young man in the surname Wang to take over, so as not to lose power, Wang Jialiu came into being. Captain Liu Yaoming already understood this, but he remained silent. The old branch secretary said that he would start the work of cultivating a successor, and he immediately expressed his support, and he proposed to train Wang Jialiu.

Liu Yaoming was disgusted with the cunning of the old branch secretary and despised his stupidity. If Wang Jialiu is arranged as a deputy secretary, then he will change from one-half to one-third. However, at present, everyone from the central to the local level is shouting about cultivating a successor to the revolution, and they themselves simply cannot stupidly express their resistance. Moreover, Wang Jialiu's performance is well-known, and it is also stupid to express dissent. If he couldn't even maneuver around this little bit, how could he work with the Wang branch secretary to this day?

He had already observed Wang Jialiu and the young woman Wang Xiaoni eyebrows and thoughts. He hadn't paid much attention to it at first, thinking it was a young man's business, but now he felt that there was an opportunity. Wang Xiaoni is very lively, active, pungent and beautiful, and is the "Iron Girl" in the Guidu Wangcun Dazhai Movement. She Lao Tzu Wang Mule is a stubborn bear who eats raw rice and even chews the ears of grain, he has an old feud with Wang Jialiu's butcher Lao Tzu, although the dispute over the land before liberation has long ceased to exist, and the butcher has passed away, and he still remembers the mortal hatred. He had already warned the woman Xiaoni that unless Wang Jialiu became the successor, he could only get married if he relied on his power to kill him. Captain Liu Yaoming calculated all this accurately, and then looked for a suitable opportunity or created the opportunity to get the desired goal. There are always opportunities.

The old party secretary went to the county to hold a meeting, which lasted for three days to study the spirit of the central authorities' instructions on speeding up the training of revolutionary successors at all levels. The work of the brigade was naturally presided over by Liu Yaoming, and he was naturally on duty to sleep in the brigade office. He slept on the clay kang in his office for the first night, thinking that when Wang Zhishu came back in three days, he would have a better reason to start the implementation of Wang Jialiu's appointment. The next night, as usual, he sat in his office and flipped through the newspaper, which was full of discourses and reports about his successor. Wang Jialiu came and discussed with him the problem of the youth commandos working overtime and night to repair the reservoir, and proposed that the young people should buy a new basketball and only get the approval of the captain before they could spend it. He greatly praised the enthusiasm of the youth commando team to learn Dazhai, and signed the paper of the application to buy a basketball. He is very cheerful and decisive, not as long-winded as the old branch secretary. After agreeing to Wang Jialiu's request, he smacked his tongue and frowned again and again. Wang Jialiu thought that he had repented and hurriedly asked. He said that his uncle was going to build a new house, which was the foundation of the night, and he should have gone to help to celebrate, but he couldn't get out. Wang Jialiu volunteered to be on duty in his place. As a result, Liu Yaoming put on a jacket and went to lay the foundation for his old uncle, and Wang Jialiu slept on duty in the brigade office.

In the middle of the night. In the office of the brigade, on the clay kang covered with public bedding, Wang Jialiu and Wang Xiaoni were getting their wish to try the clouds and rain for the first time, and they were all the same. The spring breeze filled with the smell of spring flowers and spring grass in the spring night blew into the room through the screen window, and two young men and women who were very good for ten minutes were feverishly caressing endlessly on the common earthen kang. They were glad to have got a rare opportunity, but they didn't know that this was a trap set by Liu Yaoming.

The subsequent events evolved step by step according to the accurate design of Captain Liu Yaoming. The king mule was asleep when he heard an unfamiliar voice shouting outside the window: "Old mule, you still sleep on dog days!" Your woman is on the kang in the office...... The old mule carried a board axe, and when he ran out of the gate, the back placket was torn off by his wife, and he ran barefoot to the window of the old ancestral hall and the current brigade office, and the axe split the screen window, which frightened the two men and women who were in tenderness and sweetness. And the old mule died of anger on the windowsill before he could jump into the window. When the lively people came around, they only saw Wang Jialiu and Wang Xiaoni's clothes, pants, shoes and socks and rotten paper that had been wiped on the big kang in the office...... The situation is as out of control as broken porcelain.

When the old branch secretary walked back to Guidu Wang Village with a confident smile, the theories and thoughtful decisions he had learned in the county were all shattered. Lau Yaoming calmly and humbly reprimanded himself again and again, saying that he was derelict in his duties. Wang Zhishu had no choice but to give himself a round face, saying that it was not a matter of dereliction of duty or not at all, but Wang Jialiu's self-explosion. Self-explosion is a fashionable term since Lin Biao's death at the hands of Öndörkhan.

The worst is Wang Xiaoni. How many well-qualified suitors have been rejected by her like a passing cloud. Now, with desperate impatience, the king and the mule asked his relatives and friends to find a place to settle for his daughter who had lost face, whether rich or poor, whether she looked blind or crippled, she didn't care, she only asked for the farther away the better, and claimed that once she got married, she would no longer have the right to deal with her, and when her daughter died, there would be no more daughter. The most beautiful, lively, active and pungent "Iron Maiden" in Kamidu Wang Village was finally married into the mountains, and no one had ever seen what her son-in-law looked like, and it was said that it was better not to see her than to see her.

followed by Wang Jialiu. Not only did his ability to write and draw cease to be an enviable virtue, but a disgusting and seductive means of doing bad things, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes became the mark of a disgusting rascal. He is more than twenty-five years old and more than twenty-eight years old, and he has not seen any matchmakers, matchmakers, and matchmakers to propose marriages for him. He's finished, he's grayer than the turtle's grandson, and he's grayer than the land-rich anti-bad elements found out of Guidu Wang Village. The reason for this is that Guidu Wang Village has a long history, the people are pure, and the hometown of benevolence and righteousness is also too good! One day, Captain Liu Yaoming quietly told him a family affair.

That woman was actually similar to Wang Xiaoni's experience. A young woman in Tianjiazhuang, more than 100 miles away from here, had a relationship with a cadre who had gone to the countryside to help with route education. Liu Yaoming was familiar with the wide eyes of a cadre, and when he got the news, he thought of Wang Jialiu. He felt an indescribable guilt towards Wang Jialiu, which was not a psychological comfort. Wang Jialiu had already lost the basic conditions for choosing a marriage match, and he starved to marry back the young woman who had lost her body, the woman who was now holding a noodle knife all over the village to chop his wrist.

Many years later, when Wang Jialiu slept with this woman in his arms and had a son and a daughter, he thought of Liu Yaoming more than once. This man made him grit his teeth with hatred, and he was so impressed that he fell to the ground. Soon after the catastrophe caused by the affair with Wang Xiaoni, he knew what Liu Yaoming had done in it, and he couldn't wait to stab the knife-faced guy with the pig-killing knife left by his father, and then end himself with a knife, so as not to think of the whereabouts of the lovely Wang Xiaoni now. The reason why this Kamatu King Village, which did not make him nostalgic, was that he was just looking at the two younger sisters and one younger brother left by the old butcher who were not adults. When Liu Yaoming introduced this woman to him again, he was more impressed by Liu Yaoming's personality in addition to calming down his hatred. In contrast, can he dominate the power of Guidu Wang Village with his own ignorance and shallow involvement in the world? It is too far away! What comforts him is that although the woman introduced by Liu Yaoming is not as good as Xiao Ni, she can be regarded as the top grade among women, and as for the affair with a certain cadre who went to the countryside before marriage, he does not have to worry at all, and to put it bluntly, he has the same end as himself. A peaceful life satisfies him. The woman's seductive body also calmed his feelings gradually. What happened later made Wang Jialiu experience another kind of pain and happiness in life again.

In any case, Wang Jialiu never dreamed that Liu Yaoming would make up his mind on his woman. In his opinion, Liu Yaoming is the most powerful person in Guidu Wang Village, and his scheming and heart numbers can be said to be unprecedented in Guidu Wang Village, and the old branch secretary is not his opponent at all. But Wang Jialiu never thought that Liu Yaoming would engage in a woman other than his mother-in-law. There is never a time of great joy and resentment on that person's knife face, and that knife face can never see who flatters or dislikes anyone, and that knife face will always help you solve all the most difficult and trivial worries of the men, women and children of Guidu Wang Village, and you can only trust it completely without a trace of suspicion.

That year, Liu Yaoming contracted the brick factory of the brigade and employed some young men and women from Guiduwang Village. Wang Jialiu couldn't find a way to make a living for a while, and he was unwilling to go to Liu Yaoming to make money. Lau Yaoming saw something and invited him to work as a salesman, and asked his woman to be an accountant and time the hired workers. That's when things started to change.

That night, he came back from a construction unit in Xi'an by chance, and he originally said that he would not come back because of the change of events. When he came back, he heard the kind of movement and sound he didn't want to hear outside the small window of Liu Yaoming's bedroom in the brickyard. When he wanted to smash the window frame like the old mule, he had more scheming and more control than the old mule. He quietly left.

He ran up after leaving the brick factory, ran home, did not alarm the sleeping child and the old lady, quietly found the old butcher's long-abandoned rusty pig-killing knife, and went straight to Liu Yaoming's house. He opened the door and whispered to the half-aged woman that Liu Yaoming was drunk, vomiting and bleeding, and asked her to take care of the man. After he had dragged the frightened woman out of the village, he put the rusty blade of the sharp knife across the tip of her nose, and threatened her not to go with him, not to speak or act rashly, whatever she saw or heard, and never to speak or act rashly without his instructions...... He dragged her like a scared pig under the window of the brickyard.

She heard the choking ** sound on the bed in the window, and saw the horizontal blade on the tip of her nose, and she died of anger all of a sudden. Wang Jialiu cut her belt with a knife and pulled down her pants on the steps under the window. She woke up quickly, and when she turned around, she couldn't hold back anymore, screaming and screaming, and tearing and twisting. Wang Jialiu pressed her to death and said proudly, Now you shout, you shout, the louder the better......

After a day of intense work, Liu Yaoming fiddled with a plate of preserved mutton and a plate of preserved beef in the brick factory, two bottles of Xifeng wine, and invited Wang Jialiu. Wang Jialiu and Liu Yaoming sat in front of each other, and their mood was unprecedentedly calm. He insulted Liu Yaoming and made him feel that it was much more cost-effective than Liu Yaoming bullying him. He has no scruples, but Liu Yaoming has a lot of scruples. He looked coldly at the thick bundle of tickets that Liu Yaoming took out, forcing Liu Yaoming to shrink his hand and put it back in his pocket. Liu Yaoming is no longer a terrible bat wing to him, but just a toad. He lifted the shadow cast on his heart by the invisible bat wings that had been cast on him for many years. He took revenge on everything he wanted to take revenge on and heartily. He didn't care about the price he had paid, because he had already paid too much. For the first time, he felt that there was no sense of timidity when sitting opposite Liu Yaoming.

The tacit understanding after drinking is to go their own way and forget the previous suspicions. Liu Yaoming continued to contract brick factories and earned more and more every year. Wang Jialiu polished and polished the rust marks on the old butcher's pig-killing knife, and took up the ancestral business of the white knife and the red knife out without a teacher. The woman also relented after some fright, and followed Wang Jialiu to press the pig's leg and pluck the pig's hair to sell pork. The two bodies with the smell of pork hair on their bodies and hands could not smell each other, showing relative silence and harmony.

Wang Jia's six days were better, he had a lot of money, and his mother died suddenly, and her high blood pressure caused her to fall and die. Wang Jia's six major ringers, eight hanging five musicians plus a puppet show, the commune's film team's film was shown for three nights, and the seven-inch thick pine coffin was the highest level of enjoyment among the old people who had died in Guidu Wang Village. His two younger sisters have long been married, and the only regrettable thing is that his younger brother went to the county town and went to the house of a man without a boy in front of him. Now, when he knelt for a long time in front of his mother's grave, which had been newly piled up, and looked blankly at the old grave of the old butcher with the barren grass and the new grave, he suddenly conjured up a puff of yellow smoke in his heart, which filled his head and blinded his eyes. He was in a state of dazed unconsciousness for a long time.

When Wang Jialiu woke up, he saw stars dotting the sky. The stars are so vast and so illusory, so close and so far away from him, everything is clear and everything is hazy...... He felt pitiful, ridiculous, and hateful. He felt that Liu Yaoming was hateful, ridiculous and very pitiful.

The next morning, he took off the filial piety cloth from his hat and threw it into the corner of the kang, thinking that it was ridiculous to wear the white cloth for 100 days for his mother. He didn't set foot on his bicycle and went to the village to buy fat pigs. He wanted to relax, he wanted to go fucking shopping. He stuffed more than 1,000 yuan in cash into his waist and took a suburban bus into Xi'an. In fact, he only stayed in Xi'an for half a day, and when he saw the intimate actions of those young men and women in fashionable new clothes hooking their waists and backs on the street, he suddenly thought of Xiao Ni! He went to the mountains, but instead of finding Wang Xiaoni, he finally figured out the whereabouts of the lovely Xiaoni, and she walked into her grave on her wedding night. He walked around the small town in the mountains for two or three days, and he was unexpectedly accompanied by Xiao Ni's soul...... He returned to Xi'an again, went to the cinema to watch the most popular fashionable movies and left early, went to a luxurious restaurant to call a table of wine and food, and left in a panic after pulling a few chopsticks...... He finally got his wish, and returned to the village of Guidu King with a pair of beige bone mahjong......

Wang Jialiu now digs toilets for the police station. All the chores and dirty work at the police station are left to the unlucky ghosts who are caught. When Wang Jialiu, a guest of the wheel, scooped up the smelly filth with an iron spoon, he suddenly thought of his many bad deeds in the past forty years, and he was helpless, just as people always want to take a straight road but in fact every step is crooked. He is now waiting for the county public security bureau arrest truck to take him to the detention center. The sheriff was busy with the formalities for his arrest. In the afternoon, when the sheriff returned to the station, he suddenly informed him that although he had repeatedly refused to change his ways, he should have been imprisoned and sent to the labor camp a long time ago, and that he would be given another chance, and that the villagers' meeting would be held in Guiduwang Village tonight, so that Wang Jialiu and the gang of people would confess and review the villagers and assure them.

Wang Jialiu, the guest of the wheel, was a little surprised.

Riding on the freight truck of the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Jialiu returned to the former ancestral hall of Guidu Wang Village, where the brigade revolutionary committee for many years was now the office of the villagers' committee. As soon as I entered the yard and then into the house, the earthen kang was still entrenched there. The earthen kang that left him and Wang Xiaoni to regret for half a night!

He heard the familiar voice that had creeped him in the past, but now disgusted him. Hey! Liu Yaoming is getting older and older, and the expression on Dao Tiao's face is more mature than ever. Liu Yaoming and the sheriff arranged the agenda for tonight's meeting with the township chief. Liu Yaoming excused others to preside over the meeting, saying that he was too old to do it. The sheriff and the township chief unanimously said that he was the village chief, and it was too unreasonable for him not to come forward to preside over such a meeting. Liu Yaoming couldn't shirk it at all, so he reluctantly accepted it. Wang Jialiu squatted in the corner of the wall, and his heart was surging upward, what qualifications does Liu Yaoming have to preside over the meeting to criticize and educate Wang Jialiu? It is too late for his grandson to reply to me and ask for peace! He suddenly jumped up from the ground and jumped up to the front of the sheriff:

"Sheriff, Township Chief, Township Chief, Sheriff...... I have one thing to say, anyone in Kamidu King Village who has a nose and eyes to preside over this conference, I will sincerely confess, explain, and review, and this is the only ...... Liu Yaoming...... I am not qualified to preside over the ...... of the meeting that criticizes me."

The sheriff and the township chief glared together.

The township chief said: "You don't care about this matter, you just do a review!"

The sheriff said, "When are you still not honest!"

Wang Jialiu was anxious and came out: "I'd rather go to prison and go to labor reform, and you will immediately send me to the county detention center now, but I definitely don't want to hear Liu Yaoming talk nonsense in front of me again!"

The township chief seemed to hear something strange, and made a kind and patient gesture to the sheriff with a look: "You are anxious, you are impatient, what is the problem?"

The guest wanted to turn Liu Yaoming through his pockets from the root to the end, but suddenly thought of the illegal thing that he had used a rusty pig-killing knife to cut the waistband of Liu Yaoming's mother-in-law's pants, he bit his lip and stared at his eyes for a long time and couldn't say a word. If it continues to be boring, it will create an unreasonable impression on the township chief and the sheriff, and Wang Jialiu, a guest of the court, changed his mind and said: "Liu Yaoming relied on his authority to contract the collective brick factory of Guidu Wang Village, and the contracted rent was as small as Bai Zhan, you are the township head, you are the sheriff, why don't you care if he only arrests me Wang Jialiu for gambling?"

The township chief suddenly changed color and reprimanded: "Liu Yaoming's problem belongs to Liu Yaoming, and you are not alone in the decision whether the brickyard contract is reasonable or not...... Hold a meeting, immediately call a meeting of the villagers!"

The sheriff also said sharply: "It seems that you don't want to cherish this last chance I gave you?"

He wanted to say something, but he had closed his eyes in a dejected way, and sat down on the ground with a plop, muttering something in his mouth, no one could hear clearly, and no one wanted to hear what he was talking nonsense anymore, so he was busy calling the villagers to a meeting.

The villagers' meeting, which has been very rare in Guiduwang Village for several years, was finally presided over by Liu Yaoming.

February 13, 1988 at White Hart Park
