Far away from the ancient city more than 100 kilometers away, there is a mountain depression surrounded by terraced rice fields on all sides, four low old-fashioned wooden tile houses enclose the mountain depression in all directions, all the roofs of the houses are horizontally and vertically pulled barbed wire, on the east side of the house at the junction of the house set up a sentry post, a sentry with a gun stands inside to patrol, the yard surrounded by houses is a muddy ground, when it is sunny, the wind blows the sand, people can not open their eyes, and when it rains, it is wet and slippery, and if you are not careful, you will fall. Facing the only winding mountain road in and out of the place is the guards' office and dormitory, with a small door open in the middle, and on the side of the small door hangs a sign that has been worn by the wind and sun for many years, with the words "Lantian Prison" written on it, and the other two houses are for prisoners, and the other is a kitchen at one end and a toilet at the other. Before the liberation of this place, it was a den of bandits, and later after being eliminated by the People's Liberation Army, it was transformed into a prison, specially used to detain prisoners from several nearby counties, because the number was not large, so most of the prisoners' rooms were empty, and the guards here were in addition to the prison warden, sentries, duty guards, and cooks, and they had to wait until the day of the prison visit to see outsiders.

However, in recent years, due to the increasing number of prisoners who have been escorted by criticism, the number of rooms in which the prisoners live has increased from one person to two or three people, and the maximum number of people living together has reached five. As a result, the higher authorities coordinated with the armed departments of several neighboring counties, and sent several armed personnel from each county to strengthen their precautions.

When Chen Gang was escorted over, it was close to evening, the truck was swaying slowly on the winding mountain road, and the two people who escorted Chen Gang felt their hands ache after the car left the ancient city, so they let Chen Gang sit in the freight car, and the two sat on Chen Gang's left and right, all the way

"What are you doing?" The man shouted as he was awakened from his dream.

The other person was also woken up by the sound, and quickly got up and dragged Chen Gang down from the man's body with great difficulty, and the person who was pressed down also sat up and said:

"Do you still want to run? This place where the ghosts have beaten people to death, you can't run if you want to. ”

"No wonder Deputy Director Bai has repeatedly told him to guard against him, I think you will die of this heart, and honestly stay here for labor reform." Another said.

Chen Gang curled up in the corner of the carriage without saying a word, as if he didn't hear the two people talking, as the truck swayed, turned left and right, and his body was turned upside down, the two people stood up and looked around, the afterglow of the sunset was gradually fading from the west, a touch of sunset reflected the wilderness, there was not a single tree in the depressions on all sides, highlighting the appearance of layers of bare terraced fields, and I vaguely saw Lantian Prison sitting alone in the low-lying place at the end of the mountain road, and the breeze blew in the valley, making the two people feel refreshed.

"This place really can't be in front of the village, and there is no store in the back, and you can't even see a single figure." One of them said.

"This kind of place is the only one they can stay in." The other person glanced at Chen Gang and said.

"Hey, I said, why don't you get up and have a look." One person said to Chen Gang.

"Forget it, if he runs away again in the future, we will have to be implicated." Another said.

So the two of them didn't pay attention to Chen Gang anymore, just looked at the Lantian Prison that was getting closer and closer, enjoying the cool breeze of the night, and talking about whether there would be some game for the dinner they could eat.

The car finally drove to the front of Lantian Prison and stopped, the Red Guard sitting in the cab took the lead in getting out of the car and stretched out his arms, only to see the prison door open, and a duty officer walked straight to the Red Guard from inside, the two talked for a while, and then turned to the back of the carriage together, signaled the two people on the carriage to open the back door of the carriage, took Chen Gang down from the carriage, and escorted Chen Gang into the gate in turn.

Chen Gang was taken to a simple office to sit down, the Red Guard who sat in the cab registered him, and the attendant who came to pick them up first took them to the canteen to eat, several people felt that their stomachs were hungry and gurgling, as soon as they walked into the canteen, sure enough, there was a smell of food, only to see a few plates of dishes and a few sets of chopsticks on a shabby square table, a few people walked over and sat down unceremoniously, Chen Gang stood aside and watched, the Red Guard in the cab turned his head and saw Chen Gang standing, He motioned for one person to get up and untie the rope for Chen Gang, and asked the other person to pick up the bowl and serve the rice, and then picked up some chili, onions, garlic and cabbage in the bowl and walked over and stuffed them in Chen Gang's hands, turned back to sit down, and several people devoured them. Chen Gang looked at the chili, onions and garlic in the bowl, and then looked at the meat and vegetables that several of them were eating, turned his back and squatted on the ground to eat slowly.

After the group finished eating, they licked their mouths and picked their teeth unsatisfied, and the Red Guard on duty who was sitting in the cab whispered a little, then walked up to Chen Gang and said, "Come with me", and took Chen Gang out of the cafeteria, and walked through the mud road in the middle of the courtyard by the quiet moonlight, towards the cell where the prisoner lived. The attendant took Chen Gang to the door of the cell at the top, took out the key to open the door, walked in and looked at it himself, and then shouted to Chen Gang:

"Come in, you'll live in this room from now on. This is the new man, move him to a vacant seat. ”

Chen Gang hesitated and walked in, under the dim light, he saw that the room was lined with adobe bricks on a leg-high wooden board, covered with straw, and several people with dark skin, round eyes, and tattered clothes sat on it and stared at him, Chen Gang counted it, there were five people in total, and he thought that he was going to sleep with them on the wooden board of the straw shop, and although the five people heard the attendant shouting for them to move some vacant seats out, no one moved, and the attendant ignored it, turned around and walked out, turned around and locked the door.

Chen Gang tried to slowly walk into the wooden plank of the straw shop, and was about to sit down, when one of the people above rushed over and occupied him and didn't let him sit, Chen Gang moved up slightly, and the person also moved, Cheng Xin just didn't want Chen Gang to go up, and several other people sat and looked at Chen Gang coldly, and one of the leaders said:

"Where did it come from? What's the matter? ”

Chen Gang glanced at him, didn't answer, walked to the corner of the wall, sat down along the wall, tilted his head against the wall, and closed his eyes slightly. Seeing Chen Gang like this, the leader showed a smile and said:

"Hey, there's still a bit of personality, anyway, this bed is enough for the five of us to sleep in, so you can just get some of it there."

The five people lay down on their backs separately, one of them reached out and turned off the light, the room suddenly became dark, Chen Gang stayed for a while, slowly adapted to the moonlight transmitted through the window, at this time all kinds of insects and frogs outside the scream, coupled with the screaming and yin and yang weird laughter from the next room, made Chen Gang really difficult to sleep, Chen Gang squinted at the five people sleeping on the wooden board, one by one with a deafening snoring, thinking about how to spend this difficult day here, from the back of walking into the door of this Lantian Prison, I seem to be isolated from the outside world, and when I can get out, maybe I can only resign myself to fate.

Just when Chen Gang was about to fall asleep in a daze, he suddenly heard a sound like rain around him woke him up, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be a person who was sleeping on the bed and got out of bed to relieve himself, and pulled him by his side, a smell of urine came to his nose, so that Chen Gang couldn't help but stand up, but the person went to bed and went to sleep after taking care of himself, Chen Gang was so angry that he wanted to accuse him loudly, but after thinking about it, maybe it wouldn't work, maybe it would cause trouble, and he was the first time he came today. I am not familiar with the situation of these five people at all, and the only one who suffers when making a fuss is myself, so I should endure it. So Chen Gang moved his position, turned to the other corner, sat on the ground against the wall, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and couldn't fall asleep for a while, looking up at the moonlight shining through the window, imagining that Magnolia was falling asleep with tears at this time. Chen Gang is glad that Yulan has her biological parents by her side to care for her, especially since she has been criticized, Yulan, who is inconvenient to move, has been accompanied by Hong Shun Lingzhi, which makes his guilty heart somewhat comforted, seeing that Yulan's due date is gradually approaching, but he can't count on it at all, and even makes Yulan and Hong Shun Lingzhi worried, after two hiding and tossing, and now he is escorted to this remote place, getting along with this gang of wicked people, it is really like Xiucai encountering soldiers, and there is nowhere to be reasonable. Chen Gang thought about it and slowly fell asleep, but just when he was sleeping soundly, another person came down from the bed and directly relieved him, waking him up completely.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't do it, pee." The man closed his eyes and muttered.

"Why are you throwing it on me?" Chen Gang said angrily.

"I didn't know you were sitting here, and I didn't see it." The man said as he walked back to the bed.

"It's just a brute." Chen Gang stood up and said.

Hearing the sound of the "horn", the electric light was turned on, and several people who were asleep on the bed sat up together, and the leader of the man squinted his eyes and said:

"Who do you say is a brute, look at you, such a big person, and you are still peeing on your pants."

"Hahaha." Several others couldn't help but laugh.

"The smell of urine on your body makes us buddies unable to sleep." The man continued.

Chen Gang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, his eyes were sprayed with anger, and walked over step by step, those few people saw Chen Gang coming over, and they still didn't think so, but when Chen Gang approached and saw that Chen Gang was like an angry bull at this time, he was also a little flustered, and approached the leader together, looking directly at Chen Gang, Chen Gang didn't say a word, kicked down the adobe bricks under the wooden plank, and suddenly one end of the bed collapsed, and several people sitting on the bed also fell crookedly.

"You're looking for death, brothers, give it to me." The man at the head said.

So several people rushed over together, Chen Gang fought with them a few times, after all, he was outnumbered, and his body was weak, and he was soon knocked to the ground by several people, and he was punched and kicked at him, Chen Gang endured not to shout, but he was still found by the sentry patrolling outside, and walked in front of the door and reprimanded loudly:

"What? It's not good to sleep, what's crazy? ”

"Hehe, don't do anything, a few brothers practice their fists and feet." The man at the head sat on the crooked bed and said nonchalantly.

"I'm full of food and have nothing to do, hmph, I'm bullying the newcomer." The sentry said.

"It's nothing, sir, don't worry, it's too unauthentic for the five of us to bully one." The man at the head continued.

"Turn off the lights and go to bed, I'm going to move bricks tomorrow, save some effort." The sentry said.

"Yes, sir." The man at the head turned off the light, and suddenly it was dark again, and the sentry waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement in the room, he turned and left.

"Boy, it seems that you still have a little backbone, the sentry came and didn't say anything, okay, let's make enough fuss, let's sleep." The man at the head fell as he spoke.

"This bed is so crooked, how can you sleep?" One of them said.

"What are you particular about? Just fall asleep. The man at the head said impatiently.

So the others stopped talking, and lay down and fell asleep. Chen Gang was tired and cowered on the ground for a long time without moving, and he didn't want to move, thinking that even if he was killed like this, it would be better to let it go than to be tortured alive, anyway, Yulan was taken care of by her parents, and she was naked and came and went without worry, and lived day by day, so Chen Gang fell asleep on the ground in a daze until dawn.

The next morning, the attendant opened all the cell doors one by one, and the people in the cell walked out one after another, Chen Gang waited for the few people in the room to go out, and then slowly got up from the ground, the clothes on his body were wet with urine and then stained with mud on the ground, his hair was messy, his face was full of dirt, and his eyes were dull and he walked out of the door, the sun was shining outside, and the fresh air of the mountains and fields in the early morning was rushing in, Chen Gang found that there were really a lot of prisoners in Lantian Prison, and the yard was full of people. The duty officer blew the whistle and directed the prisoners to line up in turn, and when he turned his face to see Chen Gang, he was stunned, and wanted to guide him to stand in the line, but he smelled a smell of shame on his body, and couldn't help frowning.

"You go to the toilet and wash up first." The attendant said.

Chen Gang walked step by step in the direction indicated by the attendant, some prisoners looked at him curiously, pointing at each other and discussing, Chen Gang passed by them indifferently, walked straight into the sink in front of the toilet, squatted down and washed his face with the water in his hand, looked at the dirty clothes he was wearing, and simply took it off, a photo fell out of his pocket, Chen Gang quickly picked it up and put it in his trouser pocket, looked around carefully, and then rinsed his clothes with water and wrung them out, and when he walked out of his hand, The prisoners began to queue up to receive steamed buns and porridge, and the attendant saw that Chen Gang took off his clothes early in the morning and washed them, wearing only a vest on his body, and motioned for Chen Gang to take the clothes to dry, but Chen Gang unfolded his wet clothes and put them on his body, and followed the line at the back of the line.

After receiving the steamed buns and porridge, the prisoners scattered around the courtyard, some standing, some squatting, and eating on their own. After Chen Gang received a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge that showed a human figure, he walked to the corner of the courtyard and squatted down to eat, the steamed bun was cold and hard, chewing in the mouth like chewing wax, the wet clothes on his body were worn close to his body, feeling cold and swishing, Chen Gang looked up and carefully observed while eating, and saw that most of the prisoners were relatively old, and they were all as taciturn as themselves, while a few young people were leisurely and relaxed, as if they had long been accustomed to the life of this prison, and some of them looked like habitual prisoners.

At this time, the watchman blew the whistle, and the prisoners hurriedly drank the porridge in the bowl, ran over quickly with the uneaten steamed buns in their hands, put the bowl back into the basket in the courtyard, and then began to line up. Seeing this, Chen Gang also drank the porridge in the bowl three times and two times, stood up and went to put the bowl, put the uneaten steamed buns into the pocket of his wet clothes, and then lined up.

When the officer on duty saw that all the prisoners were standing, he asked the prisoners to start counting and counting them one by one, until they were all counted, and then he spoke:

"After a while, the prison warden will come to lecture and arrange today's labor, and they will all wait patiently."

The prisoners stood and waited for a while, looking left and right, but they did not see the prison director coming, and the attendant was also a little puzzled, but he could not leave, so he could only wait anxiously, and after a while, he saw a man who was not tall and looked like he was about forty years old, trotting over from the toilet in a hurry, straightening his clothes, coming to the prisoners, clearing his throat and saying:

"Today's labor is to go to the brick factory to move bricks, 1,000 yuan per person, which can be freely combined, and after completing the task early, there will be meat to eat in the afternoon."

"Eat meat! That's great. The prisoners whispered for a while.

"Alright, let's go." The warden said, waving.

So the prisoners turned around and lined up in two columns, under the supervision of several watchmen and sentries, and walked out of the back door of the prison, along the rugged mountain road, after climbing halfway up the mountainside, and then around the mountain beam, they saw the brick and tile factory at the foot of the mountain, smoke rising above a large earthen stove, several rows of bricks covered with straw neatly stacked on the japonica, a small earthen slope not far from the big earth furnace was dug out of a cave, several workers were transporting the earth and mud with bucket trucks, and on a large piece of flat land, two workers were using adobe to take off the brick molds.

After the prisoners went down to the foot of the mountain to let the workers see, they immediately came to their senses, so they carried out all kinds of tools for the prisoners to choose, some picked brick baskets, some picked up baskets, and a few people went directly to push the bucket cart, to the edge of the big earthen hearth, and put the burned bricks into their respective brick-picking tools, and then vigorously picked them on their shoulders and walked towards the side of the japonica, but they couldn't walk a few steps before stopping to rest, those few people who pushed the bucket cart greedily filled the bucket to the brim, and then a few people walked and pushed hard, but the mud road on the ground was wow, The bucket truck couldn't go a few steps before it fell into the road, and it was in vain to push a few people, so he had to unload the bricks on the body.

Chen Gang didn't grab the tools, only a broken dustpan remained, so he picked it up and walked to the earthen stove and put a few bricks into the dustpan, then hugged it to his chest and slowly walked to the side of the japonica and stacked the bricks. When Chen Gang walked back with the bricks again, he didn't see the bricks that he had just stacked, looked left and right, and saw that others were stacking on their own, and had no time to take care of anything else, after thinking about it, he still stacked the bricks in place, and when he went back to get the bricks, he turned his head from time to time to look, and when Chen Gang turned his head for the last time, he finally saw a slightly younger prisoner sneaking to the bricks that Chen Gang had stacked to get the bricks he had just moved, Chen Gang turned around and ran over, and shouted loudly:

"What are you doing? This is what I moved into. ”

The prisoner hurriedly threw down the bricks and ran, Chen Gang walked over and picked up the bricks, put them back together, and saw that the other prisoners were working together, one guarding the bricks and the other going back to move, and exchanging them every time they moved, which made Chen Gang know that no matter how hard he tried today, it was all in vain, but he was a newcomer and didn't know anyone here, who would partner with him? Chen Gang raised his eyes and saw that the attendant happened to come over to inspect, so he decided to ask him for help.

"Can you help me watch some of them, every time I go back to move, the bricks here are stolen, and I can't guard them alone." Chen Gang asked the attendant for help and said.

"Why don't you find someone to work with? I'll help you guard the bricks, and if the prisoner escapes, can you help me recover it? The attendant asked rhetorically.

"This?" Chen Gang was speechless for a while, but after thinking about it, he said:

"I just came here yesterday, and I don't know anyone here."

"Didn't the five people who shared a room with you know each other?" The attendant said.

"The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other." Chen Gang said.

"You're still a little bookish, I'll tell you, when you come here, don't be so literate, let's be realistic, complete the prescribed tasks, and only then can you have meat to eat." The attendant turned around and walked away.

Chen Gang shook his head helplessly, looked at the people on the left and right sides who were moving bricks together, and after observing for a while, his eyes fell on an older prisoner, so he tried to walk over, and carefully asked him to ask for help in guarding, but the other party readily agreed, but put forward a condition, to take a piece of the brick that Chen Gang moved every time. Chen Gang didn't expect him to make this request, but after thinking about it, it was much better than all the bricks being stolen, so he agreed to this request, and just moved it back and forth, and the bricks on the ground gradually began to pile up more and more like everyone else.

Near noon, several workers picked up lunch, the prisoners smelled the fragrance and felt hungry, the duty officers and sentries helped to make rice, after filling each bowl with rice, add a spoonful of tofu, and then handed it to the prisoners, everyone couldn't wait to eat after receiving it, all of them were a gobble-up look, Chen Gang also felt that he hadn't eaten for a long time, and then walked to the pile of bricks he had moved over and sat and ate, although the tofu was rough, but it was still salivating when fried with chili peppers, after Chen Gang finished eating, Suddenly remembered the steamed bun in the pocket, felt it out and saw that it was as hard as a stone, tried to bite it, but it was difficult to swallow, I wanted to throw it away, but after thinking about it, I still put it in the pocket.

After eating, some of the prisoners began to count the bricks they picked up to see how much was still missing, some passed five hundred, and the most reached seven hundred, while like Chen Gang, there were only more than two hundred, so those who moved more sat and rested first, and the few continued to move, although the few who pushed the bucket cart were resting, they held the bucket cart to the death, and did not let others use it, so the others still held it shoulder to shoulder, and slowly piled it up, Chen Gang felt some strength after eating, and tried to add one or two more bricks each time, Every time I walked in front of my own bricks, I always handed over a brick first, and the rest was stacked together, and gradually the bricks I moved over began to increase, and after the rest of the bucket truck, I pushed a few back and forth, and soon completed the task, and then let the bucket truck out, and a few people lay down around the bricks and staggered and panted. The two people who helped Chen Gang guard the bricks pulled the bucket truck to use it, and later because of the lack of strength, he took the initiative to ask Chen Gang to join together, Chen Gang was naturally happy, and the three of them took turns running back and forth, and they were about to finish work in the afternoon, and after finally completing the specified task, Chen Gang was so tired that he fell to the ground.

The watchman and the sentry gathered all the prisoners together and lined up, and then walked listlessly to the back road, although they were exhausted and had a sore back, but no one wanted to be pulled down from the line, because they were thinking about the meat in their hearts, and they wanted to return to Lantian Prison immediately, sit on the dinner table and eat it greedily.

After entering the prison courtyard, the sky gradually darkened, the guards and sentries took the prisoners straight to the canteen, sure enough, they smelled a smell of meat, many people couldn't help smacking their mouths, walked into the canteen, several dim lights were on, only to see several large basins of steaming lotus-white fried meat on the long table, the prisoners were staring straight at each other, standing one by one waiting for the meal, at this time, the prison director walked in, instructed the prisoners to sit down, pulled his throat and said loudly:

"Today, everyone is working very hard to move bricks, and they are consciously accepting the transformation through labor, and the party's policy is to be frank and lenient, and to resist strictly, you must pass this kind of labor, deeply understand the crimes you have committed, and completely draw a clear line with the past in thought and action, be a new person, through labor reform, and return to the embrace of the people, and have a meal."

With the prison warden's order, the prisoners couldn't hold it back, they picked up the dishes and chopsticks in front of them, and rushed to scoop the vegetables in the basin into the bowls.

After eating, the watchman blew the whistle, and the prisoners stood up and turned around, lined up and walked out of the cafeteria, each heading towards their respective rooms. Chen Gang was extremely reluctant to go back to the room at this time, so he slowly delayed walking back, thinking about how he would spend tonight, thinking of the rudeness of the five people in the room, Chen Gang would rather go to the toilet to live than look at the faces of those five people. Thinking of this, Chen Gang turned around, made it look like he was going to the toilet, walked in the direction of the toilet, and didn't take two steps before the attendant stopped:

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I have an upset stomach and want to go to the toilet." Chen Gang replied with his hands on his stomach.

"Hmph, I just ate some meat and didn't store it in my stomach, so I ran to pull it, it wouldn't be too much. Sentry, come here, follow him. The attendant said.

So a sentry hurriedly ran over, followed Chen Gang towards the toilet, and after Chen Gang walked in, he stood outside the door to guard, Chen Gang walked out not long after entering, not only did the smell smell bad, all kinds of mosquitoes and flies stared at Chen Gang really couldn't stay, and thought to himself that it was better to go back to the room, no matter what storm he had.

Under the supervision of the sentry, Chen Gang returned to the room, the five people had already rebuilt the bed, and lay lazily on it, some scraping their stomachs, some picking their teeth, seeing Chen Gang walk in, the leader said:

"Boy, I thought you deserted, why did you come back?"

Chen Gang ignored it, turned around and walked to the corner, and sat down like that.

"Big brother, we can't run if we want to, just with him like this, where else can we run?" One of them said.

"Yes, even if you run out, you can still get out of this depression, and die of this heart as soon as possible." Another said.

"Alas, this cultural person is different from us rough people, so we can only sleep on this grass and wood board, and cultural people sleep on the ground, hahaha." The man at the head said.

Chen Gang listened to them tease him, didn't say a word, clasped his hands to his chest, and looked at the window in distraction. The leader turned off the lights at once, and the room was dark for a while.

"Brethren, I'm really tired today, go to sleep." The leader gave a long yawn after speaking.

So a few people spread out on the bed, and after a while, there was a shrill snoring sound one after another, Chen Gang looked at them coldly, and hoped that he wouldn't be tossed by them tonight, even if he just kept sleeping on the ground. Those people are really quiet today, maybe they are really tired, and they don't have the heart to mess around anymore, but the thunderous snoring also makes it really difficult for Chen Gang to sleep, at this time Chen Gang is a little envious of them, eat if they have, sleep when they do, although they are disciplined, they are also happy.

Lingzhi with the help of Aunt Peng, after the burial of Magnolia, a person with the little granddaughter to live strongly, because there is no milk to feed, Lingzhi every day push the stone mill to grind out rice milk to boil rice cereal, and then feed the little granddaughter little by little, at first the little granddaughter cried and refused to eat, so that Lingzhi was anxious, and then maybe he was hungry, and gradually slowly eaten, a pair of eyes were still staring at Lingzhi, laughing from time to time, Lingzhi's frowning brows finally relaxed, while feeding and looking at his granddaughter, I saw that it looked more and more like Yulan when he was young, Unconsciously shed two lines of tears, hurriedly put down the soup spoon, wiped it with his hand, and thought that this might be the only comfort God left for him.

After Hong Shun was imprisoned, he tried his best to find out Chen Gang's whereabouts, but in the face of many prisoners' faces, Hong Shun couldn't identify who Chen Gang was for a while, and inquired with several older prisoners who lived in the same room, and they all shook their heads and said they didn't know, Hong Shun had to settle down with the idea of slowly searching.

On this day, Chen Gang was alone in the room looking at the yellowed photo he brought, but he was quietly slipped out of bed by a person sitting on the bed, and while Chen Gang was not paying attention, he snatched the photo from Chen Gang's hand at once, Chen Gang turned his head and yelled:

"Give it back to me." Immediately got up from the ground and quickly pounced on the man, who was thrown down on the bed by Chen Gang, and actually reached out and handed the photo to the leader, who took it and took a closer look, and said with a smile:

"Oh, the ancestor is still from the Huangpu Military Academy? It's the Kuomintang. ”

"Give it back to me." Chen Gang let go of the man, turned to the leader and shouted.

"If you call me grandpa, I'll give it back to you." The leader said.

Chen Gang's eyes were burning with anger, he looked around, squatted down in a hurry, picked up a brick and raised it high, and shouted loudly:

"You still haven't paid it back?"

The leader was taken aback when he saw Chen Gang like this, and tentatively handed over the photo, Chen Gang was about to reach out to pick it up, but the leader handed the photo to the person who grabbed the photo, the man took the photo and ran to the window and threw it outside, Chen Gang angrily threw the brick at the man, the man quickly turned his head to dodge, Chen Gang saw that he was not hit, flew over, and rode the man under him for a while and beat him, the man screamed loudly in pain:

"Someone's coming, I'm beating someone."

After hearing this, the guard on patrol outside hurriedly ran over, and several other people in the room were originally going to rush over to help, but now they saw that the duty officer opened the door and came in, so he was no longer easy to do, and Chen Gang saw the door open, threw down the person, and rushed out quickly, the duty officer did not reflect what was going on, and was about to call the sentry, but saw that Chen Gang did not run away, but slowly looked for it along the ground in front of the window, after seeing the photo, Chen Gang grabbed it and held it tightly in his hand, and the attendant came over and shouted him to go back to the room, Chen Gang lowered his head and walked back slowly, and this qiē was being seen by Hong Shun, who lived opposite.

Hong Shun didn't expect that after separating from Chen Gang, Chen Gang would now become like this, with long and messy hair, a sloppy beard on his face, wrinkled clothes, and especially those eyes that completely lost their former brilliance. Hong Shun didn't know what Chen Gang was looking for when he ran out of the room, and after seeing him go back to the room at the signal of the attendant, he remembered the room number where Chen Gang lived.

On this day, the prisoners worked in a quarry, some with hammers to break the stones, some of them carried the big stones together on the hillside path with difficulty, and some carried the stones with their hands to move down the mountain, the whole quarry only heard a "dingding" sound, Hong Shun walked with the stones, while deliberately approaching Chen Gang, Chen Gang was already disheartened with a qiē, all day long, with a hostile attitude towards all the people, alone pushing the stone cart on the mountain road difficult to walk.

When the time came for the meal, the prisoners put down their work one after another, walked towards the cart that delivered the food, and took the food to find a place to sit or stand to eat, but Chen Gang did not go to get the food as if he had not heard or seen, and pushed the stone-carrying cart to a grass field alone, sat down by himself, folded a grass and kneaded it in his hand, and looked ahead.

Hong Shun quietly took an extra steamed bun, pretended to walk towards Chen Gang unconsciously, sat down next to him, and stuffed the steamed bun in his hand to him, Chen Gang was stunned, slowly turned his head, when he saw Hong Shun, his eyes suddenly widened, his lips moved, but he couldn't speak, his face was full of surprise, grievance, grief and anger poured in together, tears piled up in his eyes, he wanted to speak speechlessly, he wanted to cry without tears, Hong Shun shook his head gesturefully, and the two sat and ate steamed buns a little apart.

"I've been in for two days, and I've been looking for you, and I didn't see you rush out of your room until yesterday." Hong Shun said in a low voice.

"Jade, jade, magnolia is good?" Chen Gang struggled to speak for a while.

"I was also arrested the day after you were taken away, and I was taken everywhere to criticize and fight, and when they came to the house to arrest me, the three of us were eating, and I saw that Yulan was so angry that she seemed to be about to give birth, maybe Lingzhi had taken her to the hospital." Hong Shun said.

"May she give birth safely." Chen Gang said.

"I think so, there is no endless road, fortunately there is Lingzhi to take care of her, and the two of us can rest assured here." Hong Shun said.

"Dad, when are we going to get out of here?" Chen Gang said desperately.

"I don't know, but no matter how difficult the predicament is, we have to persevere in living, if nothing else, just for Lingzhi and Yulan are still at home and looking forward to us going home." Hong Shun encouraged Chen Gang and said.

"I've thought about holding on, but I don't know how long I can last?" Chen Gang said frustratedly.

"You think, you used to be here alone, without relatives, but now that I'm here, we have company, and we can still take care of everything." Hong Shun said.

"Well, Dad, you don't know what I've suffered during this time, I'm so bitter." Chen Gang said sadly.

"If you don't say it, I also know that when you come to this kind of place, you will encounter any kind of people and things, in a word, if you can endure it, you will retreat, and find a way to protect yourself. Let's get to work, let's push the cart together. Hong Shun stood up as he spoke.

Chen Gang also stood up, and the two of them combined together and pushed the stone cart down the slope.

For several days, Chen Gang worked in the quarry with Hong Shun, and when he was resting and eating at noon, Chen Gang took out the photo on his body and showed it to Hong Shun and told him that he found it in the old mansion. Hong Shun took it and took a look, it turned out that the photo was Shengchang and his uncle Fu Guard, Shengchang's appearance Hong Shun has never forgotten, if it wasn't for the revenge incident that happened because of his uncle, maybe Shengchang and Lingzhi would be a more happy pair. And he doesn't have much memory of Shengchang's uncle, Fu Guard, Hongshun, because that night was both the first and the last time he saw him. Chen Gang said that he was afraid that the photos would be lost when he put them on him, especially because the people who shared the same room with him had repeatedly provoked trouble. Mr. Hong said he would talk to the warden when he went back to see if he could transfer Mr. Chen to his room.

After returning to the prison after finishing work, Hong Shun took advantage of the meal to ask the prison warden to transfer Chen Gang's room, but the prison warden refused.

"No, this prisoner has been asked to be strictly guarded, saying that he has escaped and hid many times."

"Warden, where else can you run to this place? Even if he ran out, he wouldn't be able to get out of this depression. Hong Shun said.

"I don't care about this, I'm acting on orders, otherwise I won't be able to explain what happened." The warden of the prison sternly declined and was not negotiable.

Hong Shun had to turn around in disappointment and go back to tell Chen Gang, Chen Gang was silent, and continued to return to the room where he lived after eating, Hong Shun looked at the back of Chen Gang leaving, and felt desolate in his heart, knowing that he slept on the ground for the night after he went back, and the people in the same room would torture him for fun at night when they had nothing to do, Hong Shun was worried that Chen Gang would not be able to think about it, so he would talk to him every day when he went to work, and relieved his gradually cold heart.

One morning, when the prisoners went to work, Hong Shun didn't see Chen Gang come out, so he hurriedly ran to ask the attendant, who told him that Chen Gang was sick and agreed to let him rest in the room, so he didn't go to work, Hong Shun ran to the room where Chen Gang lived, and called Chen Gang in the window, but he couldn't hear Chen Gang agree, thinking that he might not get a good rest at night, so he stopped arguing with him, and followed the prisoners to work.

In the afternoon, after Hong Shun and the prisoners returned from work, he hurriedly inquired about Chen Gang's situation with the prison warden, who told him that Chen Gang had just gotten up to eat, and had been basking in the sun in the courtyard for a while, and that he might fall asleep in his room again. After Hong Shun heard this, Fang relieved himself. But who knew that the next morning, I saw that the people who lived with Chen Gang ran out in a panic to report to the attendant, and pulled the attendant into the room to take a closer look, the attendant went in for a while, hurriedly walked out, and hurriedly whispered to the warden, and the prison director also walked quickly towards the room where Chen Gang lived, Hong Shun felt bad, and hurriedly followed, but was blocked out of the door, and after a while, he saw the prison warden walk out with a stern expression, and ordered several attendants and sentries to go in, and carried Chen Gang out with a wooden plank, Seeing that Chen Gang's face was pale, his eyes were sunken, his hair was upside down, and his clothes were untidy.

"Chen Gang, Chen Gang, Chen Gang, open your eyes and come to see me, we said we were going home together, why did you leave first!" Hong Shun burst into tears, and the other onlookers watched silently, and the prison warden came over to persuade Hong Shun, and waved his hand for the guards and sentries to carry Chen Gang out of the back door of the courtyard and find a quiet place to bury him.

Hong Shun slowly stood up, stared at a pair of angry eyes and swept through the prisoners one by one, and when he saw the people who lived with Chen Gang, he rushed over like crazy, grabbed the collar of the leader and roared:

"Are you still human? Is there still a little bit of conscience to be a human being? He didn't let him go when he was sick, tortured him every day, and now that he's dead, are you happy? Even if he becomes a ghost, he won't let you go. ”

The person at the head was stunned at first, listening to Hong Shun scolding like this, he lowered his head and neither fought back, nor answered, let Hong Shun roar angrily, several people around him wanted to come over to help, but he was also stopped, Hong Shun vented for a while, the prison warden came over and slowly persuaded Hong Shun, accompanied him all the way back to his room, agreed to let him not work today, Hong Shun proposed to watch Chen Gang buried, said that he could find Chen Gang's grave for him to hang up in the future, the prison warden thought about it and agreed to Hong Shun, let a sentry accompany him out of the back door.

In the past few years, under the careful care of Lingzhi, the granddaughter grew up day by day, with a pair of eyes and watery eyes, pigtails on her head, and screaming around Lingzhi's mother-in-law and mother-in-law every day.

On this day, Lingzhi carried his granddaughter to the street to buy vegetables, and saw a pot of blooming daffodils, the granddaughter stretched out her little hand and shouted, Lingzhi touched her pocket, hesitated for a long time and shook her head, the seller of daffodils saw her granddaughter's appearance and felt pity, kindly pulled out a flower from the pot and handed it to her granddaughter, while smiling and saying to Lingzhi:

"Your granddaughter is so good-looking, what's her name?"

"Well, her father hasn't named her yet?" Lingzhi smiled bitterly and thanked.

"Well, you have to have a nickname first." Said the flower seller.

"Since she likes this daffodil so much, let's call it a daffodil." Lingzhi replied with a wit, then happily thanked him, and went home after buying vegetables with his granddaughter on his back.

Another two years passed, and Lingzhi was approved to visit Hong Shun in Lantian Prison, and Lingzhi was full of joy, thinking that he could see Hong Shun and Chen Gang at the same time, so that Chen Gang could see his daughter. So Lingzhi was busy preparing clothes and some food at home, carrying Narcissus to take a long-distance bus to Lantian Prison, after a long and bumpy journey, finally arrived at the platform a little far from the prison and got off.

Lingzhi and a large group of family members sat on the benches outside the reception room and waited in line, listening to the attendants calling their names one by one, and those who were called stood up and followed the attendants into the door. Narcissus sat on Lingzhi's lap and looked around curiously, quiet and well-behaved, Lingzhi hugged her and waited patiently, it was easy to hear the attendant call himself, so he quickly stood up, pulled Narcissus with one hand and followed the attendant with the burden in the other, sat at the table across the iron window, after a while, Hong Shun was brought in, and when he saw Lingzhi, he couldn't help but run over, stretched out his hands and grabbed Lingzhi's hand, tears were in his eyes.

"It's been so many years, I've been looking forward to it, why did you get like this." Lingzhi said sadly.

"You've suffered too, and I've been worried about you." Hong Shun said.

"I'm fine, I'm going to wait for you anyway. You see, this is our granddaughter Narcissus. Lingzhi picked up Narcissus and stood on the table.

"Ahh Narcissus, what about Magnolia? Hong Shun asked.

Lingzhi lowered his head and couldn't speak for a while, tears kept flowing, Hong Shun seemed to have guessed something, and muttered in his mouth:

"No, no. Oh my! How can this be! Yulan is gone, and Chen Gang is gone! ”

"What do you say? Chen Gang also ......, "Lingzhi can't go on."

"I came in and found Chen Gang, he was emaciated to the skin, he went to work in the quarry every day, his body was exhausted, and when he went back at night, he was bullied by the people who lived in the same room, he once told me that he wanted to see Yulan and was satisfied, and then one day he was sick and asked him to rest in the room, but he didn't know that he would ...... the next day." Hong Shun choked up and said.

"Oh my God! What kind of world is this? Lingzhi cried hoarsely, and Narcissus didn't know what was going on, so she turned around and stretched out her little hand to wipe Lingzhi's tears.

Another three years have passed, the cultural revolution has finally ended, Hong Shun was able to be released from prison and rehabilitated, Lingzhi took Narcissus to take Hong Shun home, a family of three happily returned home, chopping stuffing and rolling skin and dumplings to celebrate, Narcissus sensibly helped Lingzhi pick onions and peel garlic, Lingzhi was busy around the apron, and the joy of happiness was overflowing. Hong Shun took a bath and changed into clean clothes and came over to help, but Lingzhi didn't let him interfere, only let him sit on the side and play with Narcissus.

"Narcissus, will you help your mother-in-law make dumplings?" Hong Shun asked with a smile.

"Grandpa, I will. Oh, mother-in-law, can you wait a minute? Narcissus raised her head and said mysteriously.

"What are you going to do?" Lingzhi asked puzzled.

I saw Narcissus running into the back room, and after a while she ran again, holding a coin in her little hand and saying to Lingzhi and Hong Shun:

"Grandpa, mother-in-law, wrap this in, and when you can eat it, whoever eats this will live a long life." Narcissus said.

"Oh, really? Then give it a try. Hong Shun said curiously.

So Narcissus wrapped the coin into a dumpling, shouting not to let Lingzhi and Hong Shun see, Lingzhi and Hong Shun smiled and closed their eyes, Narcissus quietly inserted the dumplings wrapped with coins into a pile of dumplings, only to let Lingzhi and Hong Shun open their eyes, the two saw the dumpling at a glance, smiled knowingly, pretended not to know, continued to tease Narcissus while making dumplings, and after all the wrapping, Hong Shun took Narcissus over to wash his hands, and Lingzhi took the dumplings into the kitchen to cook.

After a while, Lingzhi took out the cooked dumplings and put them on the table, made a few more dipping dishes, put peppers, vinegar and garlic paste respectively, and the three of them sat together, Lingzhi specially opened a bottle of wine for Hong Shun, poured it into a small wine glass, put it in front of Hong Shun, and then poured a glass for himself.

"Today is a festive day, our family hasn't been so happy as today for a long time." Lingzhi said.

"For so many years, you have worked hard at home alone, and you have brought up Narcissus." Hong Shun said sincerely.

"It was also the child Narcissus who supported me to survive, but she never even saw her own parents since she was born." Lingzhi couldn't help but break his heart.

"In the future, we are not only her grandparents, but also her own father and mother, we must raise her well, so that Yulan and Chen Gang's spirits in the sky can be comforted." Hong Shun said.

"Grandpa, mother-in-law, I've eaten this." Narcissus took out a coin from his mouth and said to Hong Shun and Lingzhi.

"Ah, the narcissus has eaten it, ha, our narcissus will live a long life." Hong Shun said with a smile.

"I want my grandfather and mother-in-law to live a long life, and we all live a long life." Narcissus said.

"Yes, our family lives a long life." Hong Shun raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with Ganoderma lucidum and Narcissus, and then drank it all.

At night, after Hong Shun and Lingzhi lulled the narcissus to sleep, the two of them lay on the bed and leaned close together, talking about the things after the separation, Hong Shun turned around, opened the drawer, took out the yellowed photo and handed it to Lingzhi, Lingzhi took it and looked at it, as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart, and asked Hong Shun to take the scissors to her.

"What are you going to do with your scissors? Cut out the photo? This is something that Chen just found in the ruins of the old mansion. Hong Shun said.

"I'm going to cut off this enemy and leave Shengchang behind." Lingzhi said categorically.

Hong Shun leaned on her, took out scissors from another drawer and handed them to her, Lingzhi cut off the Fu guards in the photo without saying a word, leaving only Shengchang's smiling head, and then carefully put it into the drawer.

A few days later, Lingzhi and Hong Shun came to the front of the cloth shop with Narcissus, the plaque of "Hong's Cloth Shop" on the eaves was full of dust, but although the four big characters were full of vicissitudes, they were still arguable, Hong Shun let Lingzhi take Narcissus to dodge a little, and he waved his hammer and sheet metal hand to remove the sealing board nailed to the door, and the neighbors who passed by stopped to watch, talking about the "Hong's cloth shop" for many years to reopen, Hong Shun opened the door, Lingzhi took Narcissus to walk into the cloth shop together, on the table in the store, on the counter, The desks and so on were all covered with dust, chairs and cloths were staggered, and various items were scattered on the floor.

"Mother-in-law, it's so dirty here." Narcissus said.

"Narcissus, you go to the door to play first, and then come in when we clean up." Lingzhi said.

"I'm going to help my grandfather and mother-in-law clean up together." Narcissus said as he picked up a ruler from the ground.

"Okay, let's clean up together and strive to reopen the cloth shop as soon as possible." Hong Shun said.

So the three of them rolled up their sleeves together, swept the floor, wiped the table, picked up items, cleaned up the cobwebs, etc., and cleaned up the cloth shop with a new look, Hong Shun moved out of the stairs, set up in front of the door, and then set off to climb up, and wiped the plaque on the eaves carefully, looking at this plaque, Hong Shun couldn't help but think of his own father, remembered the first acquaintance with Lingzhi, although it was many years ago, but now it is all in his mind, after so many ups and downs, so many life and death, to be able to stay with Lingzhi again, Hong Shun sincerely felt sincerely gratified, and prayed that he would never be separated from Ganoderma lucidum again in this life.

A week later, under the management of Hong Shun and Lingzhi, "Hong's cloth shop" reopened, Hong Shun lit the firecrackers in front of the door, a "crackling" sound attracted many neighbors to cheer, the store was newly pasted with Hong Shun's own handwritten couplet, the store was arranged festively and peacefully, the onlookers walked into the cloth shop to browse, saw Lingzhi and said goodbye, Lingzhi with a narcissus smile on his face to express his gratitude.

Unexpectedly, one day, Hong Shun suddenly felt unwell and almost fell to the ground, Lingzhi hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and asked with concern:

"What's wrong with you? You can't scare me. ”

"It's okay, just take a break." Hong Shun said as he sat on his chair.

"No, you're sweating all over your face, so let's go to the hospital and have a look." Lingzhi said anxiously.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Hong Shun comforted Lingzhi and said.

However, Lingzhi no matter how insistent Hong Shun is, he still forcibly took him to the hospital for examination, when the test results came out, gave Lingzhi a blow to the head, Hong Shun due to long-term accumulation of illness, suffering from a variety of diseases, especially stomach cancer has spread throughout the body, the doctor advised Lingzhi to accompany Hong Shun more, is the best comfort for him, Lingzhi walked out with the test results, his eyes were blank, his steps were heavy, and he thought about why the tribulation had to keep pestering herself, and she refused to let go of herself, she would rather have this disease herself, I don't want Hong Shun to suffer from illness again, the happy life of the family has just begun, but she has to experience a parting of life and death, Lingzhi can no longer withstand such a blow, she would rather go with Hong Shun.

Looking at Lingzhi's appearance of enduring pain, Hong Shun already understood in his heart, stretched out his hand to pull Lingzhi and said:

"What should come will always come, what should go will always go, I can live to this day, I am very satisfied, don't be too sad, although God is ruthless, but he still left the narcissus to you, with the narcissus with you, I am also at ease."

"No, I don't believe this will be the arrangement of fate, don't be discouraged, I will try my best to save you." Lingzhi wiped away tears with his hand and said firmly.

"No need, you can be by my side now, and go through this last journey with me, my life is worth it, and when I get there, I can explain to them." Lingzhi, I only have one request, after I die, you must do a good job of rehabilitating Yulan and Chen Gang Zhaoxue, they died too resentfully, especially Chen Gang, he could have done a good job at work, but he was tortured to death like this, and he had too many grievances and grief in his heart. Our magnolia is too, at such a flower-like age, but to suffer so many humiliations, they all died unjustly, you must avenge them. Hong Shun said with tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry, even if I fight for this life, I want them to smile under the Nine Springs." Lingzhi said cautiously.

Then Lingzhi searched in many ways, asked for medical advice everywhere, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he tried his best to do it, but Hong Shun was already terminally ill, and any medicine was useless, the condition worsened day by day, and the person was already skinny, and after three months, he finally left Ganoderma lucidum and Narcissus dead.

When Lingzhi buried Hong Shun, he specially reserved an acupuncture point next to Yulan's tomb, and secretly swore in his heart: Chen Gang and Yulan must be rehabilitated Zhaoxue and let their husband and wife return together.

In the ancient city to carry out a series of rectification, according to the verification of the case and the petition report of the masses, Bai Li was isolated for review because of the suspicion of violating rules and disciplines, with the deepening of the investigation of the case, all of Bai Li's positions were dismissed, Bai Li knew that she had committed a serious crime, and her marriage with Wu Hao had already been separated, so she did not hide all the things that the organization asked her to confess, and only put forward one request to the organization: agree to handle the divorce between her and Wu Hao. She didn't want her and Wu Hao's only son and the property they shared, and all of them were awarded to Wu Hao. After Wu Hao got the notice, he took his son Wu Xingming to the detention center to meet Bai Li.

At this time, Bai Li had long lost her former majesty, her short hair was scattered, her eyes were blank, and her face was indifferent, when the guards came to inform her to go to the reception room, Bai Li had guessed in her heart that it was Wu Hao's father and son. Since his son was born, he has been led by Wu Hao, Bai Li is busy with outside things all day long, and the time he spends with his son is too little, so in the eyes of his son, there are only his father and aunt and uncle.

Bai Li walked into the reception room, through the iron window, only to see Wu Hao pulling his son to stand outside, the caretaker motioned for Bai Li to sit down, Wu Hao also took his son to come close and sit down, the two looked at each other, and didn't know where to start for a while, Bai Li turned her eyes to her son, only to see that he was beautiful and beautiful, and a pair of eyes looked at Bai Li timidly.

"Xingming, I'm my mother, come closer and let my mother take a good look at you." Bai Li whispered to her son.

But Xingming was close to Wu Hao and refused to step forward, Wu Hao hugged Xingming, pointed at Bai Li and said to him:

"It's Mom, don't be afraid, Dad is here?"

"Why is she in there?" The son asked quietly.

When Bai Li heard her son say this, her heart was gloomy for a while, and she leaned forward and leaned back, clasped her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes and looked up, and sighed.

"You came to me and asked me to sign the divorce papers, bring them, I'll sign them." Bai Li said indifferently.

"Do you really want to divorce me?" Wu Hao asked.

"For you, but also for my son, it's good that we're separated, I don't have any other requirements, I just hope you can raise your son well, and I'll be satisfied." Bai Li said.

"There's always been a big gap between us, and I know that I don't have much power to help you, and even now I feel guilty. However, can you think about it again, people, there are times when they make mistakes, and they can only change them sincerely. Wu Hao said.

"It's too late, no one can save me, I just hope that it doesn't affect you and your son because of me, and that's the only thing I can do to you now." Bai Li said.

"I, respect your choice, only, if you need me to do anything, just say it." Wu Hao said.

"No, give me the divorce papers, I signed it, and my heart will be flat and steady." Bai Li said.

So Wu Hao took out the divorce certificate from his bag and handed it to Bai Li, Bai Li took it, didn't look at what was written on it, just signed it in the corner, and then handed it to Wu Hao, stood up, turned around and glanced at his son, turned his head and walked towards the door, and never looked back. Wu Hao watched Bai Li leave stupidly, feeling melancholy, slowly stood up, held the divorce paper in one hand, held his son in the other, and turned around and walked out of the reception room.

After receiving the complaint submitted by Lingzhi, the relevant units immediately launched an investigation and evidence collection, and also specially organized relevant personnel to go to the detention center to find Bai Li to verify one by one, Bai Li confessed to all the crimes she had committed, and fully confessed the persecution of Chen Gang and Yulan in 1510. I felt a heartfelt disgust for the actions of the rebel leader who had once dominated the ancient city in front of me. After a large amount of evidence collection and investigation and verification, the case of Chen Gang and Yulan was basically clear, and the investigation team then reported the situation to the superiors, unanimously holding that the case of Chen Gang and Yulan was the largest unjust case in the ancient city, and in order to arouse the people's hearts, fully do a good job in the work of putting things right in the ancient city, comfort the deceased, and comfort the families, it was decided to handle the case of Chen Gang and Yulan as the first case of rehabilitating Zhaoxue in the ancient city.

The personnel of the case handling team came to the "Hong's cloth shop" to find Lingzhi in person with the instructions of the superiors, and told her all the spirit of the instructions of the superiors, Lingzhi listened, and the ruler in his hand suddenly slipped to the ground, took the "Rehabilitation Zhaoxue Book" and read it carefully, and then pressed it tightly to his chest, closed his eyes and looked up to the sky with a long sigh:

"God has finally opened his eyes, Chen Gang, Yulan, you can finally smile at Jiuquan."

The case-handling personnel standing beside him and the people who came to tear the cloth couldn't help but express deep sympathy and regret for the plight of Lingzhi's family, Narcissus picked up a ruler from the ground, walked into Lingzhi's side and pulled the corner of Lingzhi's clothes and shouted:

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Lingzhi squatted down, hugged Narcissus, couldn't help crying loudly, the case-handling staff couldn't help crying, picked up the "Rehabilitation Zhaoxue Book" that fell from Lingzhi's hand from the ground and put it in Lingzhi's pocket again, comforting Lingzhi, several neighbors learned of the situation, they all came over to help pull Lingzhi up and sit down, the case-handling staff asked her what she wanted, Lingzhi stopped crying, and while wiping her tears, she hoped that Chen Gang's grave could be moved from Lantian Prison and buried with Yulan, After the case-handling personnel recorded it with a pen, they promised to report to the leader after going back, and then comforted Lingzhi for a long time before turning back. The neighbors helped Lingzhi close the door of the shop and sent her and Narcissus back to their home.

Lingzhi took the narcissus to Hong Shun, Chen Gang and Yulan to burn incense one by one, through the green smoke slowly rising, I saw Hong Shun smiling at her, Chen Gang pulled Yulan and flew away happily, Lingzhi felt relieved in his heart.

"Mother-in-law, I'm hungry." Narcissus gently pulled Ganoderma lucidum and whispered.

"Oh, hungry? Okay, you tell your mother-in-law what you want to eat today, and your mother-in-law will make it for you. Lingzhi crouched down and said to Narcissus.

"I want to eat braised pork." Narcissus said.

"Okay, you eat some cookies first and wait." Lingzhi stood up and took the cookie box from the table, opened the lid and handed it to Narcissus, then turned and went into the kitchen to cook.

At night, Lingzhi beckoned Narcissus to fall asleep, he held a banana fan while fanning the wind while pondering, since he was a child to experience family changes, he has been walking a winding road, there are flat laughter, there are twists and turns, and more is the grief of losing a loved one, this way, experienced the joys and sorrows of the world, tasted the ups and downs of the world, and now he is already with white hair on his temples, looking at the sleeping narcissus, I only hope she can grow up happily, Don't go through the ordeal of Yulan and Chen Gang anymore.

A few days later, in the ancient city of the Grand Theater venue held a grand Chen Gang and Hong Yulan husband and wife rehabilitation Zhaoxue Conference, Chen Gang and Hong Yulan black portraits hung high on the wall, surrounded by small white flowers and evergreen trees, on both sides of the stage pasted a white background black couplet, the loudspeaker played over and over again mourning music, Lingzhi with narcissus was invited by the staff to sit on the rostrum, the whole city was commotioned, have poured into the venue to stop and watch, the host of the meeting first called on all to stand up, for the deceased Chen Gang and Hong Yulan three minutes of silence, Then the two female public security officers escorted Bai Li to the rostrum, only to see Bai Li's pale face, indifferent, and was escorted to stand on the right side of the platform, Lingzhi saw Bai Li at a glance, immediately became angry, wanted to stand up, was kindly appeased by the staff around him, a leader came to the stage, first read out the decision to rehabilitate Chen Gang and Hong Yulan, and then another leader introduced the life deeds of Chen Gang and Hong Yulan, and then the host of the meeting asked Lingzhi to come to the stage and accuse Bai Li of persecution of Chen Gang and Hong Yulan, Lingzhi walked forward slowly step by step, the host of the meeting hurriedly walked a few steps over to help Lingzhi, and brought Lingzhi to the front of the stage, Lingzhi stared at Bai Li with a pair of hot eyes, Bai Li turned her head to look, but as soon as she saw Lingzhi's angry eyes, she immediately lowered her head.

"Okay, you Bai Li, you will have such a day, where is your teeth and claws, and your invincible energy? Yulan and you have studied together, grown up together, and worked together since childhood, and you were so ruthless that you tortured her to death. Chen is just a good person, and you have no grudges, but you have to go to great lengths to frame him, arrest him again and again, he can't stand your persecution and run out to hide, but you just refuse to let him go, hide in the department store, you go to arrest him back, hide in the gloomy and terrifying crooked door, you also have to arrest him, send him to Lantian Prison, and arrange for someone to torture him until he dies. Hong Shun has worked carefully and cautiously all his life, but he was framed as a spy by you, no matter how you say that he is also your elder, but have you ever learned to respect people in your eyes? Arrest him, criticize him, fight him, and send him to prison. The cloth shop I opened was left by Hong Shun's parents before liberation, and I have made clothes for countless people in my life, the price is fair, and the young and old are not deceived, but you are said to be a capitalist, leading people to smash my cloth shop and seal my door. Do you, you, do you still have a little conscience to be a human being? Are you a human or a ghost? The good Qinglong Cave is there, but you are lawless to smash it, the archways and ancient buildings on the street have been smashed by you, you are not only the sinner of my Lingzhi family, but also the sinner of our ancient city. Lingzhi turned around as he spoke, beckoning Narcissus to come forward.

"Let's take a look, this is the only daughter left by Chen Gang and Yulan, she hasn't seen her own father and mother since the day she was born, and she has been living with me as a mother-in-law, doesn't she want her parents? But she is forever separated from them, and only from the photos can you see what her parents look like! Lingzhi said sadly.

"Mother-in-law, I want Dad, I want Mom." Narcissus burst into tears, and the miserable cry deeply pierced the hearts of everyone present, and everyone couldn't help but shed tears for a while.

"Good boy, don't cry, remember this wicked man, and always remember this enemy of our family." Lingzhi said as she wiped away her tears from Narcissus.

While wiping away tears, the host stepped forward to help Ganoderma lucidum and Narcissus sit back on the podium, and then waved his hand and shouted:

"Down with Bai Li! Avenge grievances for Chen Gang and Hong Yulan! ”

The people present couldn't help but shout, Bai Li lowered her head, couldn't help but tremble, her face was like ashes, a leader stepped forward, waved her hand and asked the two female public security officers to take Bai Li down, and then read out two decisions, one is to supply Chen Gang and Hong Yulan's orphan Narcissus to rehabilitate Zhaoxue, and the other is to transport Chen Gang's remains from Lantian Prison to the ancient city tomorrow at the request of the family, and bury them with Hong Yulan. The people present applauded these two decisions, and Lingzhi was full of tears after hearing this, and kept saying thank you.

In the afternoon of the next day, a car tied with black yarn, with the portrait of Chen Gang hanging in front of the car, slowly drove into the ancient city, followed by two cars, people along the street have retreated, stopped and stared at the vehicle Tongguò, Lingzhi held Narcissus and sat in the back car, due to the long-distance travel, Narcissus had fallen asleep on Lingzhi's body, Lingzhi was also haggard, recalling the first time he went to Lantian Prison to visit Hong Shun, after learning that Chen Gang was buried in a quiet place behind the prison, he took Narcissus to find it, Along the rugged Tianjing path, according to the hints given to her by Hong Shun, she finally found Chen Gang's grave in a mountain depression, looking at Chen Gang being buried here alone, Lingzhi felt very sad in his heart, although Chen Gang lost his parents when he was very young, but since he married Yulan, then he is a member of the Hong family, how can he let him throw his body in this wilderness alone. Therefore, when the investigators asked her what she wanted, Lingzhi did not hesitate to propose to transport Chen Gang's remains back and bury them in the Hong family's tomb.

The three cars drove to a place about 100 meters away from the tomb and stopped, because the road in front of them was too narrow, the car could not drive in, so they had to stop, move the coffin out of the car, and be carried into it by several people.

"Chen Gang, don't worry, you are no longer alone and living outside, here are all the relatives in our family, Yulan is also waiting for you here, the spirits of your husband and wife in the sky can finally be reunited, and I can also rest assured." Rest assured, no one can separate you anymore, Narcissus will remember you, and Qingming Festival will come to see you. Lingzhi said loudly while scattering the petals with the narcissus, and the rest of the people helped shovel up the soil and scatter it.

Due to the seriousness of Bai Li's crimes, after a large amount of evidence collection, the people's court prosecuted Bai Li, Bai Li confessed to all the facts of the prosecution in court, and was willing to accept a sentence, after the people's court held a trial, and reported to the higher court for verification, it was decided to sentence Bai Li to death in accordance with the law.

Before the execution, Wu Hao took his son Xingming to the prison and visited Bai Li for the last time, Bai Li lowered her head all the way, walked into the visiting room under the supervision of the guards, sat on the designated chair, raised her head, and ignored Wu Hao with a pair of godless eyes.

"What are you still doing? Come and see what I look like now? Bai Li said coldly.

"I just want my son to know that he still has a mother, and although she has committed unforgivable crimes, she will always be my son's mother." Wu Hao said.

"After I die, there is no other request, just go to my grave every Qingming Festival to burn pillar incense." Bai Li said.

"Don't worry about this, I will take my son to do it, do you have anything else to explain?" Wu Hao asked.

Bai Li stared at her son Xingming for a long time, and said slowly:

"I have committed unforgivable crimes in my life, I am not sorry to die, I just hope that you will not be implicated by me, I am relieved that my son is entrusted to you to raise, I hope you will educate him well and raise him as an adult, don't learn from me, I will bless you over there."

Wu Hao pulled his son Xingming and pointed at Bai Li to teach him to call his mother, but Xingming just looked at Bai Li directly, his eyes were full of fear, and he refused to scream, Bai Li waved his hand, so that Wu Hao should not be embarrassed Xingming, he was already satisfied to be able to see his son before he died, and there would be no more extravagant hopes.

Two days later, Bai Li was shot, Wu Hao went to the execution ground alone to collect Bai Li's body, and buried her on a river beach in Tieshan Creek, because Wu Hao felt that this was Bai Li's best place to belong, there was no ****, no disputes, only white clouds, clear river water, green green bamboo, and smooth river beach, this qiē will wash Bai Li's once dusty heart clean.
