After Chen Gang finally finished writing, he put down the pen, hugged his hands in front of his chest, leaned back on the chair, and calmly looked at Bai Li who was sitting opposite, and the Red Guards next to him picked up the review written by Chen Gang and walked to the opposite side and handed it to Bai Li, Bai Li took it from the Red Guard's hand and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth:

"It's not badly written, but the content doesn't stand up to scrutiny, and if you stay alone in that attic for so many days, someone has to bring you something to eat."

"I brought a big bag of food with me when I went." Chen Gang replied coldly.

"And how did you get in?" Bai Li asked.

"Isn't there a gap in the yard?" Chen Gang said.

"It's rare that you're going to climb over a wall." Bai Li said teasingly.

"Forced by you, the dog knows how to jump over the wall when he's in a hurry, let alone a person." Chen Gang blurted out.

"Nonsense, it's clear that you want to escape, and you're still quibbling in front of me, it seems that the criticism of you is not deep enough." After Bai Li finished speaking, she waved to the Red Guard who was standing, and the Red Guard walked into Bai Li's side, Bai Li whispered to him for a while and then stood up, "hummed" at Chen Gang, and then walked out, the Red Guard followed closely behind Bai Li and locked the door with his backhand.

Chen Gang saw that the door was locked, he did not panic, and still sat calmly on the chair, but before he could think about what would happen next, he heard the door open again, and several Red Guards rushed in, tied him up without saying anything, and walked out until he walked to the gate of the county Revolutionary Committee, where a big truck was parked, and some Red Guards were pushing several people on the side at the same time into the car one by one, and then hung the sign of the criticism on the necks of several people.

"Where are you taking him?" Hong Shun asked as he stopped the Red Guards.

"Go to the commune to criticize the fight, get out of the way, don't delay our business." The Red Guard pushed Hong Shun away and said impatiently.

"He was there last time, why did he take him again?" Hong Shun blocked Chen Gang and said loudly.

"You go in and ask us Deputy Director Bai, get out of the way, or I'll arrest you together." The Red Guard said.

"You are not allowed to treat the old man like this. Dad, don't worry about me, take care of Magnolia for me. Chen Gang said loudly.

At this time, several Red Guards came out of the county revolutionary committee and dragged Hong Shun away, Chen Gang got into the truck under the push and pull of several other Red Guards, and a sign was also hung around his neck, several Red Guards also climbed up, and set up a horn on the top of the cab, Chen Gang stood by the car and looked down at Hong Shun and said:

"Dad, go back, I'll insist on coming back."

"Chen Gang, you must hold on, you have to hold on to being a cow and a horse." Hong Shun tilted his head and said to Chen Gang.

As the truck started, the people in front of the car automatically dodged out of the way, the Red Guards in the car shouted slogans into the horn, and the car slowly drove out of the gate and headed towards the commune.

Yulan heard Hong Shun say that Chen Gang was taken to the commune to criticize again, worried that Chen Gang's life and death would be unpredictable, and she was so anxious that she fidgeted, Lingzhi and Hong Shun also sighed and shook their heads, Yulan thought about it, and finally gritted her teeth and said to Lingzhi and Hong Shun:

"Mom and Dad, why don't you let me go to Bai Li to plead for mercy, as long as Chen Gang can come back safely, I can do whatever you want."

"What? You're going to beg Bai Li? No, no one in our family will beg her. Lingzhi said angrily.

"You go to her, I'm afraid that she will not only not help, but will even deliberately embarrass you, Yulan, why should we suffer from her?" Hong Shun persuaded him.

"I think, no matter how bad Bai Li is, she won't abandon all the love I grew up with her since childhood, she just wants to be higher than me in front of people now, then I'll let her be good, as long as she can help me get Chen Gang back, let me kneel on the ground and beg her, I'm willing." Magnolia said insistently.

"Magnolia, why are you doing this? Didn't Bai Li harm our family enough? You remember the love that you grew up with since childhood, but she may not also remember, if she remembers, she won't hurt us like this. Lingzhi said.

"You're not in good shape now, you go to her, in case there's a mistake, how about me and your mother?" Hong Shun said.

When Yulan heard Hong Shun say this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately thought of an idea and said to Lingzhi and Hong Shun:

"By the way, I'll go to her like this, if she doesn't agree, I'll rely on her to cause me to have a miscarriage and discredit her, I see if she dare."

Lingzhi and Hong Shun both widened their eyes when they heard Yulan say this, although they were extremely reluctant in their hearts, but after thinking about it, this was not a bad way for now, but in order to ensure that Yulan's body was safe and sound, Lingzhi decided to go with Yulan. So the two of them walked out of the house and walked straight towards the county revolutionary committee.

Bai Li sat in the office flipping through the newspaper to pass the time when she got off work in the afternoon, thinking of coming home to face Wu Hao's lifeless appearance, as well as his younger siblings hiding when they saw her, Bai Li would rather stay in the office longer, especially after being promoted to the deputy director of the county revolutionary committee, a sense of superiority swelled in her heart all day long, so when she saw Wu Hao, she was unpleasant, and she resented that she shouldn't have been so willful in the first place, and she married him hastily, and now her identity is so incommensurate with her own identity, But it can't be shown in front of people, and it has to make people feel that their marriage is happy, Bai Li only feels that she is like acting, life is like a play, and drama is like life.

Bai Li was pondering, and suddenly heard the door being opened, and she didn't bother to turn around, still looking at the newspaper by herself, and asked casually:

"What else?"

With the support of Lingzhi, Yulan slowly walked into Bai Li's office, and stood opposite Bai Li, Bai Li saw that there was no response, so she leisurely turned the chair around, and when she saw Yulan and Lingzhi standing in front of her, she couldn't help but be startled, and calmed down by putting down the newspaper in her hand and said:

"How did you get in?"

"Bai Li, if there is still a little friendship between us in your heart, I don't think you will just watch me suffer and stand by." Magnolia said.

"Yulan, look at what you said, didn't I personally help you find Chen Gang and send him home last time?" Bai Li relaxed and said.

"But you've arrested him again, why can't you just let us go?" Magnolia said.

"This? This? This is the need of the situation, don't you know, I gave Chen Gang the opportunity today to write a review, but he just refused to cooperate and was perfunctory, how can this work? Everybody watched. Bai Li said.

"I don't think it's that Chen Gang doesn't cooperate, but that you want him to write something out of nothing." Lingzhi said.

"You're to blame me for this, he ran upstairs in the department store and hid, and pretended to be a ghost, this can't be out of nowhere." Bai Li distinguished.

"It's not that I can't stand the criticism that I made this decision." Ganoderma lucidum grabs the white way.

Yulan slowly walked around the table, walked to Bai Li's side, knelt in front of Bai Li with a "poof", and said word by word:

"Bai Li, why was Chen Gang arrested and criticized, you know best in your heart, now I just ask you for the sake of us growing up together, for the sake of my pregnancy, let Chen Gang go, the injuries on his body can no longer withstand the toss."

Bai Li didn't expect Yulan to kneel down in front of her like this, although she was very satisfied, she still pretended to be flattered on the surface, and quickly got up from the chair and reached out to support Yulan, but she didn't expect Yulan to grab Bai Li all of a sudden, Lingzhi saw this and hurriedly shouted loudly:

"Bai Li beats someone! Bai Lida has a miscarriage of pregnant women! ”

"You? You guys? Bai Li said in a panic.

"This is all learned from you, thanks to you, if you agree to help bring Chen Gang back, this matter will be over, otherwise, I will die here today, my mother testified to me, you killed me." Magnolia said calmly.

"You? Okay, good, but Chen Gang has already been taken to the commune. Bai Li said.

"Don't you have a phone here, you can call it." Magnolia said.

"Okay, then you can get up first." Bai Li said.

"You call first, and I'll get up." Magnolia insisted.

Lingzhi was busy pushing the telephone on the table to Bai Li's side, and helped shake it a few times, Bai Li had to stretch out a hand to pick up the microphone and say in her ear:

"Hey, help me transfer the commune, is it the commune? I'm Bai Li from the county revolutionary committee, and among the people who came over by truck today to criticize the fight, there is a man named Chen Gang, because there is a temporary change here, you will bring him back tomorrow, that's all. ”

After Bai Li finished speaking, she put down the microphone, Lingzhi hurriedly walked to Yulan's side to help Yulan up, Bai Li was also about to pull Yulan up, was pushed away by Yulan, and slowly stood up relying on Lingzhi's arm, and then the two walked out of Bai Li's office together, Bai Li stood and watched the two of them walk out, today's Yulan's actions made her not have time to be vigilant at all, and she didn't expect Yulan to force herself like this, and it took a while for Bai Li to come back to her senses.

Hong Shun has been waiting in front of the gate of the county revolutionary committee, and when he saw Lingzhi and Yulan walking out slowly, his heart finally let go, and he hurriedly stepped forward, Lingzhi gave Hong Shun a look, Hong Shun understood, and Lingzhi supported Yulan together, and the three of them walked slowly towards home. Along the way, Lingzhi slowly told Hong Shun what was going on, Hong Shun nodded while listening, Yulan only felt that today was finally a bad breath, and her mood was also relaxed.

In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Gang was escorted back, Hong Shun had been waiting at the intersection, and saw Chen Gang standing in the car, his hair was messy, his face was smeared with black ash, and his eyes were blank, and when Chen Gang was forcibly pushed out of the car, Hong Shun hurriedly went over to help him up, and Chen Gang fell into Hong Shun's arms, Hong Shun endured his grief and carried Chen Gang up and walked home.

Yulan and Lingzhi were taken aback when they saw Chen Gang being carried back by Hong Shun, and hurriedly came up to help Chen Gang lie down, Yulan sat on the edge of the bed and called:

"Chen Gang, Chen Gang, what's wrong with you? Open your eyes and see! ”

Lingzhi poured a glass of water from the house, Hong Shun helped Chen Gang's head, Lingzhi gently fed Chen Gang some water with a spoon into his mouth, only to see Chen Gang's mouth move, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Chen Gang, you're awake, you're scared to death." Magnolia shouted in surprise.

"Yulan, Dad, Mom, I thought I wouldn't see you anymore." Chen Gang said weakly.

"Don't be stupid, you lie down and rest first, and then get up and eat when you have recovered your strength." Hong Shun persuaded him.

Yulan got up and went to get a towel to dip it in the basin, came over to help Chen Gang wipe the dirt off his face, and then guarded Chen Gang and watched him slowly fall asleep.

When Chen Gang woke up, it was already dark, Chen Gang only felt hungry, Lingzhi specially simmered some soup for him, and cooked some noodles in it, Chen Gang took it and ate it, only to feel that he had some strength in his body, and just wanted to stand up, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fell down, Hong Shun asked him to sit down and rest first, and then get up to take a shower.

The next day, Bai Li asked a Red Guard to bring a message and said that a celebration meeting would be held in the city in two days, and all the critics would be present and march in the streets, and Chen Gang was one of them. Yulan was worried that Chen Gang's physique was so weak, where could he afford to walk all over the street again, which would cost Chen Gang's life.

"If you don't go, you just don't go, you just stay at home and recuperate." Magnolia said.

"But they'll come to the house at any time." Hong Soon worried.

"In my opinion, we still have to find a place to hide, as long as people are not at home, they can't find it, and there is no way." Lingzhi said.

"Mom, where do you think Chen Gang is hiding?" Magnolia asked worriedly.

"How about going to the Blue Dragon Cave? There is no one living there, and there are few people who go, so no one will find out. Lingzhi said.

"Qinglong Cave is full of temples, there is no place to live, and it faces the river, and the river wind blows very cold, especially at night." Hong Shun said.

"Then you want to think of a way, where to go?" Lingzhi asked rhetorically.

Hong Shun thought for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Lingzhi, Lingzhi was inexplicable, Hong Shun turned to Chen Gang and asked:

"Are you afraid of ghosts at night?"

"Dad, I've been made like this now, I'm almost like a ghost, what can I talk about?" Chen Gang said.

"I want to think of a place, as long as your mom doesn't mind." Hong Shun said.

"What place? Daddy, say it quickly. Magnolia asked curiously.

"Lingzhi, or let Chen Gang hide in the old mansion." Hong Shun said tentatively as Lingzhi probed.

Lingzhi never thought that Hong Shun would say this place, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while, how many years have passed, this place has been deeply buried in the bottom of Lingzhi's heart, forever covered by dust, and there has never been a trace of missing. Since I fled there with my uncle when I was a child, the only time I have ever gone back to the old house is the unforgettable revenge that night, although the revenge has been avenged, I can see my uncle, Shengchang, and Osmanthus fall in front of me one by one, and family, love, and friendship disappear from my eyes in an instant, Lingzhi will never forget the heart-wrenching sadness in this life, if there was not Hong Shun and Fengying with him at that time, Lingzhi would rather go with them.

Lingzhi was silent, the memory buried in his heart was mentioned by Hong Shun, as if he had knocked over the dusty cover, and the memories of many years came to his mind one by one, Lingzhi stood up and slowly walked back to the house. Yulan couldn't figure it out, and after watching Lingzhi walk away, she turned around and pulled Hong Shun and asked:

"Dad, what's wrong with my mom? What kind of place are you talking about? ”

"You stay here with Chen Gang for a while, and let me go in and persuade your mother." Hong Shun said to Yulan.

Yulan let go of her hand, Hong Shun sighed, lowered her head and walked into the house. Yulan came over and sat down next to Chen Gang, and neither of them knew where Lingzhi and Hong Shun were talking about, and it was so mysterious. At this moment, Yulan's heart was full of contradictions, hoping that Chen Gang could hide and escape this catastrophe, but also worried that he would drag his injured body to huddle in a dark corner all day long like a year, thinking of this, Yulan couldn't help but lean her head on Chen Gang's shoulder, Chen Gang stretched out his arm to hug Yulan, his heart was full of guilt, he wanted to be by Yulan's side, and looked forward to the arrival of Yulan's little life in Yulan's womb with Yulan, and this was just a normal married man's wish, but it couldn't be fulfilled for him, In a trance, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, it is out of reach.

Hong Shun walked into the house and saw Lingzhi leaning on the head of the bed alone and was silent, Hong Shun tentatively walked over and sat down next to Lingzhi, Lingzhi raised his head and looked at Hong Shun helplessly, Hong Shun pulled Lingzhi's hand and put it in his palm. Many years ago, when Lingzhi was grief-stricken, Hong Shun also silently held Lingzhi's hand, so that Lingzhi's desolate heart got a sense of warmth, and pulled her back from that nightmare, and the two of them came to this day together. Over the years, Hong Shun has also been faithful to no longer mention this taboo that makes Lingzhi sad in front of Lingzhi, and has formed a tacit understanding with Lingzhi.

"I reminded you of the sad past today, you're angry with me." Hong Shun said softly.

"It's not your fault, it's all forced out, good people can't live a good life at home, hiding in Tibet all day long, suffering Chen Gang, and even more suffering our Yulan." Lingzhi said with a sigh.

"Yes, I didn't want our family to be together every day. But look at Chen Gang's current body, where can he withstand another toss, if Chen Gang has three long and two short, I'm afraid that our Yulan won't be better, Chen Gang is alive, it is the hope of our Yulan. Hong Shun said.

"I'm thinking, how many years has the old mansion been sealed, I don't know what has become inside, and there have been so many things, can Chen Gang hide in it? I'm worried about him. Lingzhi turned to Hong Shun and said.

"Because it is a forbidden area that many people dare not set foot in easily, there are very few people passing by during the day, and no one dares to stay there at night, so I think that as long as Chen Gang is not afraid, he will be safe and sound, as for food, we have agreed with Chen Gang in advance to send it every few days." Hong Shun said.

"But Chen Gang only goes in at night, and besides, he is not familiar with the terrain inside, so he knows what to do after entering?" Lingzhi asked worriedly.

"So I need your help, the situation inside is only familiar to you, I wonder if you can draw a topographical map of it and give it to Chen Gang, so that it will be easier for him to go in." However, I think it's best for both of us not to tell Yulan and Chen Gang about the old mansion, it will be better for them to hide it from them, just tell them that we have been in it before. Hong Shun said.

Lingzhi nodded, so Hong Shun got up and went to the drawer to take out the paper and pen, and brought them to Lingzhi, Lingzhi took the pen and paper, lay on the dresser next to the bed, meditated and thought about it, Hong Shun did not disturb her, and walked out of the house gently.

Yulan and Chen Gang saw Hong Shun come out of the house, and hurriedly asked how Hong Shun was, Hong Shun nodded solemnly at them, and then persuaded Yulan and Chen Gang to say that it was not too early, let them go back to the room to rest first, and tomorrow they would tell them what to do next. When Yulan and Chen Gang heard Hong Shun say this, their hanging hearts gradually became more steady, so they got up and walked back to the room together.

While recalling the scene when he was a child, Lingzhi drew the layout of the old house on paper, some places were painted and wiped, wiped and painted, and his thoughts flew back to his childhood, the well platform, flower gallery, bluestone slab in the courtyard, the Buddha shrine, the table of the eight immortals, the high-backed chair in the living room, and the spaciousness of the east wing, the elegance of the west wing, the liveliness of the kitchen, the compactness of the guest room and the maid's room, the tranquility of the aisle, etc., all of which suddenly came to Lingzhi's mind, and Lingzhi re-entered the old mansion in a trance. Seeing the relatives in the family standing up one by one, they all smiled at her, especially her uncle Fang Min cast an approving glance at her, Sheng Chang smiled and handed back her handkerchief, Osmanthus raised a satisfied smile, Lingzhi stood in the middle of them and was happy, suddenly a gust of wind blew, everyone disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only Lingzhi standing alone in the empty courtyard without relatives.

"You're back! Lingzhi misses you! Lingzhi couldn't help but cry, and then fell on the table and cried.

Hong Shun was sitting on the side reading a book and accompanying Lingzhi, when he heard Lingzhi's shout, he was so frightened that he hurriedly put down the book and walked over, held Lingzhi's arms with both hands, and gently persuaded:

"Lingzhi, what's wrong with you? Do you remember them? ”

Lingzhi turned around, hugged Hong Shun tightly with both hands, and put his head into Hong Shun's arms, Hong Shun stroked Lingzhi's hair and said:

"If you want to cry, cry out, I will always be with you."

Lingzhi lay in Hong Shun's arms and was sad for a while, wiped his face with his hands, and slowly raised his head, Hong Shun went to get a towel over, and wiped the tears on his face for Lingzhi with his own hands, and then helped Lingzhi to lie down on the bed, Lingzhi reached out and took the topographic map of the old house drawn on the table to Hong Shun, Hong Shun took it and was taken aback, I really didn't expect that the old house of Lingzhi's family was such a magnificent atmosphere, although I went in with Lingzhi, Shengchang, Osmanthus, and Fengying that night, But he didn't expect to meet Lingzhi's uncle who was avenging the whole family, and the next tragedy caught him off guard, and he didn't have time to look at the scene in the old house of the Lingzhi family, not to mention that at night, after dragging Lingzhi out of the old house with Fengying, he looked back, and the raging fire was deeply imprinted in Hong Shun's mind.

Hong Shun went to bed next to Lingzhi leaning on the head of the bed, Lingzhi pointed to the pictures drawn on the paper, and told Hong Shun one by one, Hong Shun nodded frequently and praised, and finally Lingzhi suggested that Hong Shun let Chen Gang hide in the hut near the flower gallery. And the big houses inside may have been burned out of shape, and they are not easy to live in. Hong Shun couldn't help but admire Lingzhi for being very thoughtful, so the two of them turned off the lights and slept with peace of mind.

The next day, Hong Shun and Lingzhi handed over the topographic map of the old house to Chen Gang, Chen Gang unfolded it and looked at it carefully with Yulan, the two of them were very curious, they didn't know where the house was painted on this paper, Hong Shun and Lingzhi looked at each other quietly, and the two of them smiled heartily.

"Mom, Dad, where is this drawing? How come we've never met? Magnolia asked curiously.

"This is a place that I went in with your mom when I was a kid, and not many people know about it. Come, let's discuss how to hide. Hong Shun said.

So the four of them sat together, first Lingzhi pointed to the topographic map in the painting and told Chen Gang in detail about the layout of the old house, and then Hong Shun and Chen Gang agreed on the time and code to send things, Yulan and Chen Gang were very excited, everyone learned the lesson of the last time, considered all the links thoroughly, and after discussing properly, they began to make various preparations separately, and immediately decided to hide in at night.

In the evening, it rained heavily in the sky, and the rapid raindrops knocked on the eaves and doors and windows, after Lingzhi cleaned up all the dishes, chopsticks and tables, he moved all the things that Chen Gang needed to bring to the table to count, to see what was still missing, Hong Shun took out a long hemp rope, put a nail rake on one end, and tied the rope to a strong one, Yulan helped Lingzhi find a piece of agricultural mulch, wrapped the cover roll and tied it up, everything was ready, and the four of them sat and waited for the sky to get completely dark.

"The rain may not stop for a while, but it also has the advantage that there are fewer people coming out when it rains, and it is also avoided by people to see." Lingzhi said.

"It's just that when you go over the wall, it might be a little slippery." Hong Shun said.

"I'm going to climb over the wall again, isn't there a door to enter such a big mansion?" Lingzhi asked curiously.

"Of course the door is, it's just sealed. Besides, this is to hide, not to play, where can you swagger in through the door. Lingzhi said.

Yulan couldn't help but stick out her tongue, and then looked at the heavy rain outside and became worried, worried that Chen Gang was wearing fewer clothes, saying that the rainy night was very cold, if the body was wet by the rain, it was easy to catch a cold, and it was good to have no family to take care of it. Chen Gang smiled and comforted Yulan, saying that what she could deal with was something she could handle, so she should worry less and take care of her body. Lingzhi took out a hat from behind the door, but there was still one missing, Lingzhi thought about it, dragged out the agricultural mulch film used to roll the cover just now, pulled out a section, and simply made a hat and shawl to prevent rain, Hong Shun saw that the time was almost up, so he decided to set off with Chen Gang, Yulan reluctantly pulled Chen Gang, stretched the agricultural mulch film on his body for him, and covered the mulch roll under the liquid as much as possible, and told him to be more careful. Hong Shun put on the hat, picked up the rope and flashlight, Lingzhi opened the door for the two of them, a storm blew into the house, Hong Shun plunged into the rain first, Chen Gang looked at Yulan, reached out and touched her bulging belly, his eyes were full of deep affection, and then slowly walked to the door step by step, fell his head ruthlessly, stepped out of the door, and soon disappeared in the rainy night, Lingzhi closed the door with his backhand, and walked back to the room to rest with Yulan.

Although Hong Shun was wearing a hat, but the wind carried the rain, and soon drenched his whole body, even the hat was almost blown away by the wind several times, and his face was also washed by the rain, Hong Shun had to support the hat with his hands, wipe his face with his arm from time to time, and under the dense heavy rain, he walked along the street to the "Sifang Well" laneway. Chen Gang followed behind tightly clipped the cover roll, let the heavy rain and the wind howl, just looked down at the bluestone slab under his feet that was splashed by the raindrops, and hurriedly stepped on it, and saw no one along the way, Chen Gang felt very lucky.

After Hong Shun walked into the "Sifang Well" laneway, he blocked some wind and rain by the high courtyard walls on both sides, turned around and stood at the mouth of the roadway and waited for Chen Gang to approach, Chen Gang just lowered his head, did not see where he went, passed by the roadway and kept going forward, was Hong Shun ran over and grabbed him, and took him into the "Sifang Well" laneway, Chen Gang didn't have time to tell where it was, he was urged by Hong Shun to go quickly, so the two of them walked straight to the door of the old house along the winding laneway, because it was dark and rainy, and there was no light, Chen Gang didn't know which alley he had arrived in the ancient city, Hong Shun tidied up the hemp rope, held the nail rake on the head of the rope in his right hand, stood in front of the door and turned around a few times, and then threw it upwards with force, so that the rope on his left wrist flew out in a circle, and the sound of the nail rake hitting the wall was completely drowned out by the sound of rain, Hong Shun pulled the rope and tried it hard, but it didn't move, Hong Shun handed the rope to Chen Gang, stuffed the flashlight he was carrying into Chen Gang's pocket, and told him to wait until he entered the yard before turning on the flashlight, Try to shine as low as possible, block the light with your body, and at the same time take the cover roll in Chen Gang's hand and hold it, signaling Chen Gang to pull the rope into it first, Chen Gang tried it first, and then crossed his hands and pulled the rope to climb up, kicked up with both heels, and climbed for a while before climbing to the half-high courtyard wall, Hong Shun was in a hurry, came over and bent down, let Chen Gang step on his back, and then stood up hard, helped Chen Gang finally climb the wall, and then tied the end of the rope to the cover roll, signaling Chen Gang to pull up, Chen Gang rode on the wall, Hands crossed to pull the rope together with the cover roll, and then put it down into the wall, Chen Gang stopped his feet, before jumping into the yard, turned his head to look at Hong Shun, waved his hand, Hong Shun looked up and couldn't see Chen Gang's face clearly in the heavy rain, just used his hand to signal him to jump in, Chen Gang gritted his teeth and jumped, and disappeared from the wall, Hong Shun wiped the rain on his face with his hand, looked around, and then turned around and walked out of the "Sifang Well" laneway to go home.

After Chen Gang jumped down from the wall, he only felt one foot on the grass, the other foot on the stone slab, his buttocks sat in the middle of a pain, and he sat for a while, recalling the layout of the courtyard that Lingzhi had told him, and guessed that he had entered the position of the flower gallery in the courtyard, Chen Gang followed Hong Shun's explanation, endured the pain and took out the flashlight from his pocket, tried to block it with his body, and then turned on the flashlight, first found the rope and the cover roll, untied the rope, held the cover roll with one hand, and played the flashlight with the other. Walking towards the cottage near the flower gallery in his memory, the door was hidden, Chen Gang turned around and closed the door after entering, and then slowly scanned the whole room with a flashlight, only to see that the house was covered with cobwebs, and there was a simple double wooden bed inside, the bed was stacked with some discarded sundries, one end of the bed was a wooden flower stand, and the other end was stacked with sundries such as flat poles, wooden barrels, hoes, stairs, brooms, etc., Chen Gang guessed that this should be the place where the servants lived in the past, but now they can't manage so much, Reach out and take the broom and briefly brush the cobwebs in the house, place the flashlight on the flower stand, put the bedding roll on the ground, move the sundries on the bed, open the bedding roll, take out the food brought inside and put it aside, make the bed first, take off the wet clothes on your body and throw them in the wooden bucket, change into dry clothes, and put the other things you brought on the head of the bed, then fall on the bed, turn off the flashlight, listen to the sound of the rain outside on the roof and windows, thinking that it should be safe tonight, As for what kind of situation this mansion is, let's wait until tomorrow after dawn to take a slow look, thinking about it, Chen Gang slowly fell asleep.

The next day was almost noon, Chen just woke up, only to feel that all around was quiet, the rain had already stopped, the noon sun penetrated through the cracks in the wall, Chen Gang moved his body slightly, only to feel a pain in his body, lying on the bed and confused, after all, he couldn't fall asleep again, so he thought about getting up and going out to take a good look at what this house looked like.

Chen Gang gently opened the door, first stretched out his head to see, the courtyard was empty and silent, in front of the door was a flower gallery, but only the bare flower stands, scattered dead branches and vines were falling at will, but the weeds on the ground were growing luxuriantly and unscrupulously, and all the stone slabs under the flower gallery were hidden in the grass, Chen Gang walked out of the door, turned to the right to look, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, the roofs of several connected houses were open, and the ruins and ruins were towering, gloomily Chen Gang couldn't help but gasp, Several huge roof beams sloped horizontally in front of a large house in the middle of the courtyard, and on the broken walls, a flock of birds flew to peck at the food, and the front steps of the house were covered with weeds and swayed in the wind, revealing a hideous scene of ruins.

Chen Gang saw that the house had been burned down like this after a fire catastrophe, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that Lingzhi wanted to call him to live in this house on the edge of the flower corridor, it turned out that this was an intact house that had survived in this house. Judging from the other burned houses, he can still vaguely recognize the layout of the main hall, wing rooms, courtyards, and well platforms of this house, and from the scene in front of him, Chen Gang concluded that this should be the house where a big merchant lived in the ancient city in the past, but he didn't know why it was abandoned like this.

Chen Gang regrets that since he joined the work, he is busy with the affairs of the unit every day, and rarely has time to go to the various lanes in the city to take a look, and he has also heard the older colleagues in the unit chatting about many lanes and houses in the ancient city, especially famous for a crooked door ramp house in the laneway of the "Sifang Well", how prominent it was in the ancient city in the past, but he has never set foot in it. When he came over with Hong Shun last night, it was raining heavily, and he couldn't remember which alley Hong Shun pulled him into, let alone which house he threw himself into.

Chen Gang turned his face to the door, only to see that the door was closed, it could be seen that the door was sealed from the outside, Chen Gang walked to the door and listened to the movement outside, there was no sound, Chen Gang felt that he was like walking into another world, no hustle, no life, no strife, some just death-like silence, which made Chen Gang recall the scene when he hid in the attic of a department store, where at least you can see green mountains, green water, houses, hear the noise of human voices, and feel that you are still alive, And here I feel like I'm isolated from the world.

Chen Gang looked over and saw the rope thrown on the ground last night, so he picked it up and wrapped it in a circle with his hands, then tied a knot and held it in his hand, and saw the round well platform in the courtyard, so he returned to the house to put down the rope, brought a wooden bucket and rope, walked to the well platform to draw water, stood on the well platform and washed his face indiscriminately, suddenly felt a little anxious, recalled the direction of the toilet in the courtyard that Lingzhi told him, and turned his eyes to the corner of the well platform, saw a small wooden house, and walked over.

After a while, Chen Gang walked out of the small wooden house, went to the well platform and picked up the wooden barrel and walked to the small wooden room again, used the water in the wooden barrel to flush the toilet, refilled the water and carried it back to the house, took out the pancakes he brought from the bedside, found a small stool at the foot of the bed, picked up the clothes he took off last night and wiped them casually, sat in front of the door and ate slowly.

Chen Gang feels that although this place is like another world, he doesn't have to worry about being seen at all times, as long as he doesn't make a loud noise, who will know that there are people in this house, this is really a good place for people to recuperate. But Chen Gang couldn't help but want to find out which alleyway house this was, and maybe he could find some spider traces in the ruined house. So Chen Gang finished eating the pancakes, picked up a hoe from the side of the bed and walked towards the deserted house, Chen Gang carefully avoided the sloping beams, opened the room all kinds of tables, chairs, utensils and objects crooked, some were burned beyond recognition and then covered with thick dust, some were smashed by the fallen beams and could not see what it was, Chen Gang shaved a few times with the hoe, the hoe hit the broken tiles and made a slight sound, Chen Gang quickly stopped, for fear that the sound would spread out, stood and thought about it, Picking up the hoe and looking at the other houses, but still not finding a clue, he walked down the steps and through the courtyard to the house.

Chen Gang thought to himself that maybe it was because of the long time, coupled with the fire and the wind and sun, it was really not that simple to figure it out at once, but anyway, he was hiding here alone, and there was nothing else to do, so he had time to ponder. Chen Gang washed his hands, found out the medicine prepared by Hong Shun and Lingzhi for him to treat his back injury, took off his clothes and put them on his waist, lay on the bed to rest, and turned out the topographic map drawn by Lingzhi to study.

When Hong Shun went to the street to sweep the floor the next day, he deliberately swept to the "Sifangjing" laneway and stayed for a little longer, and saw that the people who entered and exited the "Sifangjing" roadway did not have any abnormal reactions, so he felt at ease. In the next few days, Hong Shun pretended to be thirsty and walked into the "Sifang Well" lane, went to the well platform of the "Sifang Well" to borrow a spoon to the well to get water to drink, and paid attention to the alley while drinking, and saw that there were very few people who walked into the lane, and thought that no one would pass by here at night, so he returned home and told Lingzhi and Yulan about the situation, Lingzhi and Hong Shun both felt that Chen Gang was safe this time, Yulan couldn't guess where Chen Gang went, and asked Hong Shun and Lingzhi several times, They all cleverly opened the topic, and Yulan couldn't ask a reason, so she had to give up.

Two days later, Bai Li really came to Lingzhi's house with a few Red Guards, and Bai Li told Yulan that she took Chen Gang to be a foil for the celebration meeting, and would not do anything to Chen Gang. Yulan didn't speak, only stretched out her hand and pulled Bai Li and walked towards the house, Bai Li was curious that Yulan hadn't been so enthusiastic about her for a long time, and followed Yulan into the house with joy, Yulan took Bai Li to look at all the houses, and then returned to the courtyard and said to Bai Li:

"What's going on? I've searched all over with you, and I don't know where Chen Gang is? ”

Bai Li didn't expect Yulan to pull her into the house to mean this, the smile that was still on her face just now suddenly disappeared, and she said to Yulan with a serious face:

"Yulan, don't let Chen Gang play the trick of hiding this time, it's useless, where can you hide? Besides, Chen Gang is also suffering when he hides outside, didn't you beg me to reunite your family, I agreed, but you yourself are doing this kind of bitter trick of separation, what a pain. ”

"It seems that you still don't believe me, if you have to say that Chen Gang is hiding, then you can take me to find it." Magnolia said.

"I don't need to look for it, I'll figure it out in two days, but I can't get through this matter today, so I have to let your father do it for you, anyway, your father is also the target of criticism." After Bai Li finished speaking, she picked up the Red Guards and turned to leave.

"How can you be like this, Bai Li, one yard is one yard, Chen Gang is not here, and you can't take Hong Shun's top bag." Lingzhi said angrily and loudly.

"I think you old man should not shout, or you can't get out of it, look at your whole family, which one is a good person?" Bai Li pointed to Lingzhi and said.

"I think our family still lacks bad people like you, don't be too complacent." Lingzhi stared at Bai Li and said.

Bai Li turned around and threw a sneer at Yulan, and then walked away with the Red Guards. Yulan pulled up the Lingzhi mushroom and glared at Bai Li fiercely.

Hong Shun was sweeping the ground on the street, suddenly a few Red Guards rushed over, snatched the broom in Hong Shun's hand and threw it on the ground, grabbed him and walked towards the venue in front of the big theater, Hong Shun didn't know why he was arrested, and when he arrived at the venue, he saw that all the people in the city who were criticized were all gathered together and lined up, and after the celebration was over, led by a big truck, there were several Red Guards standing on the trunk, some beat gongs and drums, some held high red flags, some shouted slogans, and the big horn on the car played radical songs from time to time, Under the gaze of the crowd, the people who were criticized were divided into two columns under the leadership of some people and followed the truck out of the venue, marching along the streets of the ancient city to show the public, Hong Shun lowered his head and walked slowly with the flow of people, from time to time there was the sound of shouting slogans and loudspeaker songs in his ears, Hong Shun knew that at this time do not resist with others, just follow the team, a group of people walked around the street and then returned to the venue, standing and listening to the reprimand before all were disbanded, Hong Shun walked straight to home.

Lingzhi and Yulan saw Hong Shun come back, and asked him with concern if he was hurt, Hong Shun shook his head and said that he just walked around the street, Lingzhi was busy telling Hong Shun about Bai Li coming to Chen Gang, Hong Shun said that he was afraid that Bai Li was going to make waves again, and today was the time to agree with Chen Gang to send things over, it seems that the night passed extra cautiously, it is best to go again in the second half of the night, but he was worried that Chen Gang would fall asleep in the second half of the night, thought about it, and finally decided to go over at twelve o'clock in the evening, so Yulan and Lingzhi were busy to prepare.

After Chen Gang got up every day, he would stand in front of the door, take out the topographic map drawn by Lingzhi and compare the current scene of the old house, and then try to go to the ruins of the old house to find traces of the year, in order not to make a sound, Chen Gang found a small wooden stick and held it in his hand, and when he saw any suspicious place, he would stop and scratch it with a wooden stick, but except for the charred charcoal, smashed tiles and some unknown sundries, he did not find anything worth collecting, and Chen Gang was not discouraged. I think that there is such a thing that drives me to do it, rather than staying every day with nothing to do.

For several days, Chen Gang was in the ruins of the old mansion, thinking while scratching, such a large old mansion, it is impossible for the owner's family to clean up so thoroughly before it is abandoned, and there will always be something missing, so as long as he insists on looking for it, I believe he will definitely find it. At the same time, Chen Gang felt a little puzzled, why Yulan's parents were so familiar with the previous layout of this place, even if they had come here to play before, it was impossible to know everything here, the only explanation could only show that they had an unusual connection with this old mansion, but since he met Yulan and got married, Chen Gang had never heard Lingzhi and Hong Shun talk about this old mansion, and even Yulan didn't know at all, what was there to hide?

Chen Gang stood up, looked at his hands blackened, and couldn't help laughing at himself, staying here like an archaeologist, ignoring the outside world, just inquiring about the ancient legends here. Chen Gang turned around, bent down to avoid an oblique beam, and was about to walk out, but he didn't know what he was stepping on, and suddenly slipped, almost the whole person fell, Chen Gang quickly stood firm, looked down, and saw that there seemed to be a piece of paper exposed in the slippery place under his feet, Chen Gang squatted down curiously, pulled it with a wooden stick, and slowly picked up a small photo, which was covered by various things, Chen Gang hurriedly walked out of the ruins as if he had obtained a treasure, and came to the side of the well platform, I took out the water from a wooden bucket to develop the photo, carefully wiped it with my hands, and slowly saw that the yellowed photo showed a group photo of two men, the older one wearing a warlord-era uniform, but half of it was burned off by fire, and the other young man was wearing a cardigan, which looked like a father and son.

Chen Gang took the photo back to the house, lay on the bed and looked carefully, this father and son looked at it from the eyebrows and faces, there was no resemblance to Lingzhi and Hong Shun, especially the older one gave people a sinister and cunning feeling, while the younger one looked very handsome. When did this come from? Chen Gang was puzzled, so he thought that when Hong Shun came to deliver something in the evening, he would ask Hong Shun, maybe he could get some clues.

Lingzhi and Yulan were in the kitchen together to cut onions, ready to make more flower rolls for Chen Gang to send, Hong Shun went to the river beach outside to pick up some small stones and put them in the pockets of his clothes, after the three of them ate in the evening, they sorted out the things they were going to bring and put them on the table, waiting for the time to pass slowly, Hong Shun and Lingzhi persuaded Yulan to rest early, what is the situation will tell her tomorrow, Yulan persisted for a while, but finally couldn't get sleepy, and the defendant Lingzhi helped her go back to the room to rest. Hong Shun waited until after twelve o'clock in the evening to pick up the bag, stood up, Lingzhi found a black cloth to wrap Hong Shun's entire head, only revealing a pair of eyes, and kept telling him to be careful on the road, and then opened the door, saw that there was no one outside, and let Hong Shun go out.

Hong Shun is still close to the corner of the eaves on the side of the street and quickly walked towards the "Sifang Well" laneway, the street is silent in the middle of the night, only a few dim street lamps are listlessly shining, Hong Shun is vigilantly watching the surrounding movements while walking, although he knows that the ancient city is generally basically unmanned on the street at this time, but he is still cautious to cat, try not to make a little sound, until he reaches the mouth of the "Sifang Well" lane, through the cover of the courtyard walls on both sides, he sped up his pace, bowed down and walked along the stone steps towards the old house.

When Hong Shun walked to the door of the old house, he was already out of breath, paused slightly, reached out and took out a small stone from his pocket, threw it into the courtyard, and then listened sideways, the stone was estimated to be thrown on the side of the flower gallery, Hong Shun didn't hear the movement, so he took out another piece and threw it in, only to hear a "bang", the stone fell on the stone slab in the courtyard, Hong Shun guessed that Chen Gang would make the same sound inside after hearing it, but after waiting for a while, it was quiet inside, and no sound came out, Hong Shun threw two stones in a row, still no response, Hong Shun guessed whether Chen Gang had fallen asleep because he came too late today, Hong Shun stood in front of the door and thought about it, and felt that he couldn't delay here, so he simply took out all the stones in his pocket, threw them all in, and heard a sound of "dong dong dong", thinking that Chen Gang should be able to hear it, and then threw the bag he brought into it with all his might, and hurriedly turned around and left.

After Chen Gang found the photo in the morning, he was very excited, took a break at noon, and continued to look in the ruins in the afternoon, thinking that he would definitely find something, but he didn't expect to scratch and pull for an afternoon without any gain, and he stood up to feel a sore back, so he went to the well platform to wash his hands, went back to the house and lay on the bed to rest, but he didn't want to oversleep, and when he woke up, it was the second half of the night, Chen Gang thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly picked up the flashlight and walked out of the house, and walked along the path by the flower gallery to the gate, Sure enough, I saw some small stones thrown in by Hong Shun, so I looked for it nearby, and saw a burden thrown in the grass, when Chen Gang walked over to pick it up, he was entangled in a dead vine, Chen Gang pulled hard, the burden was pulled away, and a few flower rolls rolled out, Chen Gang hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, and then returned to the house with the burden, feeling guilty for missing the agreement with Hong Shun, I don't know if Hong Shun would complain about themselves, after beating his feet and blaming himself, he smelled the fragrant flower rolls, and couldn't help but pick up and eat.

The next day, Chen Gang got up and went to the ruins to look for it as usual. I don't know where to run out of the door of the old house a dog, sniffing all the way, actually standing at the gate of the old house, towards the door a vigorous "Wang" roaring, after a while the owner of the dog also followed, without saying that the dog wanted to go back, but the dog just didn't want to move, and roared non-stop, the people who carried water and washed things in the "square well" attracted all the people to come, everyone was curious, pointing and talking about each other, at this time two Red Guards walked into the "square well" to find water to drink, Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel very strange, one of them said to the other, "You stay here, I'll call someone over", and ran out of the "Square Well" alley quickly.

Chen Gang searched in the ruins for a long time, and began to hear the barking of dogs outside and ignored them, and then felt that something was not right, so he got up and walked out of the ruins, came to the door to listen, and when he heard a group of people outside talking about it, he knew that things were not good, so he went to the well platform to wash his hands, and then hurriedly returned to the house and closed the door, thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him.

After receiving the report in the office, Bai Li felt strange, how could such a situation occur in a house that had been abandoned for many years, Bai Li had heard adults talk about the house when she was a child, and she went to the door with Yulan to peek at it, and she didn't think there was anything unusual at the time, and she didn't take it to heart afterwards. Now hearing someone say this, it aroused her interest, will there really be ghosts in the daylight, Bai Li does not believe in this evil, and the legend of the "Sifang Well" laneway about ghosts has been around for a long time, Bai Li thought why not take this opportunity to break this superstitious legend. So he took a group of people and walked straight towards the "Sifang Well" lane.

Chen Gang finally figured out the reason why the dog barked outside the door, and quickly came out to look for it in the grass of the flower corridor, and found that a flower roll that had been missed last night fell in the grass, it turned out that the fragrance of the flower roll attracted the dog to be reluctant to leave for a long time, Chen Gang picked up the flower roll and threw it into the toilet of the small wooden house, and then turned back to the house and closed the door.

Hong Shun swept the street as usual, in order to know if Chen Gang got the things brought to him last night, Hong Shun still slowly swept towards the "Sifang Well" laneway, when he was about to reach the entrance of the lane, he found that some people were walking towards the laneway, and kept talking about something, Hong Shun was a little puzzled, so he stood at the mouth of the laneway and was about to find someone to inquire, and suddenly saw Bai Li coming with someone from a distance, Hong Shun hurriedly turned around, pretending not to see it and lowered his head and swept the ground, Bai Li hurriedly walked straight into the lane, did not notice Hong Shun, After Bai Li walked over, Hong Shun turned around and felt that it was not appropriate to go in at this time, so he swept at the mouth of the laneway, at this time, Lingzhi and Yulan sent food to Hong Shun, Yulan was pregnant for a full term, in order to let Yulan give birth smoothly, Lingzhi has been encouraging her to move around more during this time, and takes her with her every time she goes out.

Hong Shun saw Lingzhi and Yulan coming, and hurriedly motioned for the two of them to approach, and then quietly told them that they had just seen Bai Li walk into the lane, and they didn't know what would happen, Lingzhi and Yulan were taken aback after hearing this, and instinctively felt that the situation was not good, so the three of them wandered around the mouth of the lane, looking into the laneway from time to time.

At this time, the dog outside the door also stopped barking, and when the owner of the dog was about to pull the dog away, Bai Li arrived with a group of people, and the crowd of onlookers gave way one after another, Bai Li walked to the gate, turned around and said loudly to everyone:

"Everyone is quiet, this mansion has never broken the legend of ghosts in our ancient city, it is because of the legend that there are ghosts, so people here in the past are very afraid, especially at night, everyone does not dare to come out, so this mansion has also been sealed for many years. But are there any ghosts in this world? Today, I want everyone to see if there are any ghosts in this house. Come on, first remove this door panel, let's go in and have a look. ”

After Bai Li finished speaking, several people behind him rushed forward, picked up the hammer wrench and began to disassemble the door sealing panel, the onlookers were also curious to stand on the side and watch, with the sound of "bang bang bang", the door sealing board that has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years was dismantled piece by piece, the crowd of onlookers looked at the wooden board thrown on the ground, some stretched out their hands to touch the texture and texture, and sighed that this wood should belong to the superior quality of the wooden board, so that it can last for a long time. Bai Li listened to everyone's discussions, and couldn't help but be full of curiosity about the mystery of this old mansion, and patiently waited for the moment to unveil this mystery.

Chen Gang heard a knock on the door in the house and knew that he was about to face another disaster. Since entering the old mansion, Chen Gang not only did not feel fear, but became interested in this old mansion, and every day he went to the ruins to find and think, always wanting to unlock the secret of this old mansion with his own exploration, but in the past few days, except for finding that photo, nothing else has been found. And now it is impossible for him to stay here quietly and decrypt it, Chen Gang took out the rope left by Hong Shun and wanted to find a place to escape, but except for the gate, the rest of the place is a towering courtyard wall, Chen Gang took the rope and tried it a few times, but he couldn't throw it at all, Chen Gang looked at the ruins again, there was no place to hide, so he simply walked back to the house, threw down the rope, cleaned up the things in the house, put the flashlight and the photo into the pocket of his clothes, and then walked to the door of the house, Standing with his back against the door frame, he waited for the door to be knocked open.

After Bai Li watched the lock on the gate of the old mansion being smashed open, she walked over and kicked the door open, turned to the people on the left and right behind her and said:

"If you are afraid of ghosts, stand outside the door and wait, and if you are not afraid of ghosts, follow me in."

Several Red Guards standing behind him immediately jumped behind Bai Li and prepared to rush in, the crowd of onlookers hesitated to try to walk towards the door, and some also stretched out their heads to quietly look inside, Bai Li stepped into the gate with one foot, only to see that the yard was empty and desolate, overgrown with weeds, and when he raised his eyes to see a house in the middle of the yard that was burned to ruins, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and the slabs of the houses that pointed to the sky and were burned to char gave people a hideous and terrifying scene. Several Red Guards beside Bai Li couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of them, and stood in the courtyard and stopped, and the crowd behind them crowded the gate with each other, probing inside one by one.

Bai Li looked at the charred ruins while walking, guessing in her heart what era this should have happened, her eyes slowly moved from the ruins to the high courtyard wall, and the moment she turned to the flower gallery along the courtyard wall, a figure appeared in her sight, Bai Li couldn't help but shiver all over her body, and several Red Guards who followed her couldn't help but approach her, and the crowd behind thought that they had really met a ghost, and they all shrank into a ball of tiredness, and followed Bai Li's line of sight.

"You, you, you, you Chen Gang, you are hiding here again to pretend to be a ghost." Bai Li shouted angrily.

"I don't know what kind of enmity I have with you in my life? Wherever I go, you follow. Chen Gang said calmly.

"You run away from the movement, you run away from criticism, are you still reasonable? Chen Gang, this is the second time you have played hide and seek with me, but it is only three things, and I am not out of the way if you like to hide. Someone came, arrested Chen Gang, and sent him to Lantian Prison. Bai Li said loudly.

A few Red Guards walked over, and without saying anything, they twisted Chen Gang up, pushed him out, and the crowd of onlookers got out of the way, watching Chen Gang pointing and discussing, Bai Li beckoned everyone to exit the old mansion, and let the few people who knocked on the door seal the gate as usual, thinking that it was indeed a bit unlucky to enter this old mansion today, especially when he was frightened by Chen Gang, so that he almost lost face in front of everyone, just because of this, he had to make Chen Gang suffer a lot if he said anything.

Bai Li led people to escort Chen Gang out of the "Sifang Well" laneway, and happened to meet Yulan who was walking back and forth at the mouth of the alley with a big belly, Yulan saw Chen Gang being escorted out by several people, desperately rushed over, hugged Chen Gang and cried loudly.

"Why are you arresting him? Why did you arrest him? Magnolia said while crying.

"Magnolia, don't cry, watch out for your body." Chen Gang persuaded Yulan Dao sadly and angrily.

"Hong Yulan, don't be here to prevent us from performing our official duties, Chen Gang has escaped and hid several times, causing us to find it so hard everywhere, this time he will never want to escape from us again." Bai Li walked over and said.

"I knew it was you, it was you who caused my father to be beaten as a spy, it was you who caused my mother to not be able to open a cloth shop, it was you who caused our husband and wife to not be able to reunite and stay together, how far will you, a femme fatale, harm us?" Magnolia turned around and watched Bai Li approach her step by step.

"You are talking nonsense, it was your family who had to be the enemy of the people to suffer this fate, for the sake of your pregnancy, I will let you go for the time being, and I will pursue you later." Bai Li was worried that Magnolia would pounce on her, so she stepped back as she spoke.

"You can pursue it, you have the ability to come at me, tie me up, and let our husband and wife go to prison together." Yulan stared at Bai Li and said angrily.

Lingzhi rushed up to support Yulan, turned his face to Bai Li and reprimanded:

"Our family has lived in the ancient city for so many years, you go to the neighborhood to inquire, when have you ever been an enemy of the people? You have a red mouth and white teeth, and you will suffer retribution in the future if you falsely accuse people. ”

Hong Shun also rushed over to protect Yulan and Lingzhi, and accused Bai Lidao word by word:

"You work in a department store and quarrel with customers every day, how do you serve the people? A good Qinglong Cave complex is the pride of our ancient city, but you bring people to smash it, you are the enemy of the people. ”

"Nonsense, your family is talking nonsense, I don't have time to debate with you here, take Chen Gang away." Bai Li shouted angrily.

The people who were holding Chen Gang hurriedly took Chen Gang away, Yulan turned around and saw Chen Gang being taken away, and ran towards Chen Gang's side, but after all, he couldn't catch up with Chen Gang due to inconvenience, Chen Gang turned back to Yulan while being pushed and shouted:

"Magnolia, don't come here, protect our children."

"Chen Gang, don't go, I want to be with you." Magnolia cried out in grief.

After Chen Gang was taken to the county revolutionary committee by Bai Li and her entourage, Bai Li explained the incident to several leaders of the county revolutionary committee, saying that Chen Gang's repeated evasion of hiding in this way was due to great dissatisfaction with the current movement, to avoid criticism and struggle, and to refuse to accept criticism and reform, and that people like Chen Gang must be sent to prison to thoroughly undergo re-education through labor in order to gain profound ideological and cognitive reflection. Several leaders felt that Bai Li was reasonable, and unanimously agreed to send Chen Gang to Lantian Prison for labor reform. So several Red Guards in accordance with Bai Li's instructions, tied up Chen Gang's five flowers, and temporarily transferred a truck, escorted Chen Gang into the car, arranged for two people to escort Chen Gang straight to Lantian Prison, when the truck drove out of the county revolutionary committee and walked to the street, Yulan suddenly saw it, no matter how Hong Shun and Lingzhi persuaded her, Yulan couldn't listen, and desperately stopped the car, Chen Gang shouted loudly when he saw this:

"Magnolia, don't come here, it's dangerous."

Seeing that Yulan was rushing over desperately, the driver hurriedly stepped on the brakes in a panic, stuck out his head and shouted:

"You don't want to die, get out of the way."

"Chen Gang, where are they going to take you? Let me go with you, I will follow you wherever you go, and I will not be separated from you. Magnolia shouted loudly.

Hong Shun and Lingzhi were worried that Yulan would be hit by a car, so they hurriedly came over to pull her, and a Red Guard sitting in the cab pulled the car door and jumped out of the car, pushing Hong Shun and the three to the side of the street and said:

"We were ordered to take him to Lantian Prison for reform, you better not stop him here, hurry back and prepare something for him."

"What? Go to Lantian Prison. Hong Shun said in astonishment.

"Then let me go with him." Magnolia shouted.

"I said you're a woman, and you have a big belly, is that place for you? Let's go back. The Redguard said as he turned and got into the car.

Then the car started, Yulan chased the car all the way, kept calling "Chen Gang, Chen Gang", Hong Shun and Lingzhi had to follow her, until the car drove far away and raised a burst of dust and couldn't see, Yulan stopped, stood on the street and cried, Hong Shun and Lingzhi supported her, Yulan's sad cry pierced their hearts, Lingzhi couldn't help but shed tears, Hong Shun gritted his teeth and looked up at the sky, wanting to cry without tears, his heart was full of helplessness and sentimentality.

For a few days, Yulan lay on the bed without water, her eyes were dull, and she washed her face with tears all day long, which made Lingzhi and Hong Shun very worried, Lingzhi boiled rice porridge every day and fed her carefully, and persuaded her to think about the child in her womb, and not let the child bury the root of malnutrition before she was born. Hong Shun also stayed by the side and slowly enlightened her and said, the more adversity we are, the stronger we must be, the worse we live, the happier Bai Li is, but we just don't want her to be happy, we still have to live a personal life, take care of the body, so that she can't help us. Yulan listened to the patient persuasion of her parents, stroked the fetus in her womb, and thought of Chen Gang who was far away in Lantian Prison, sad tears flowed down again, Lingzhi took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears and said:

"Your dad is right, our family has to live with backbone, and when you give birth to the child, your dad and I will accompany you to see Chen Gang."

"Really? Okay, Mom and Dad, I listen to you, come, I'll eat. Magnolia gradually regained her senses and said.

In order to take care of Yulan, Hong Shun no longer went to the street to sweep the streets, but accompanied Lingzhi to wash vegetables and cook at home every day, clean up, and chat with Yulan.

One day the three of them were sitting and eating, suddenly a few Red Guards broke into the house, and couldn't help but take Hong Shun away, Lingzhi and Yulan were furious, stood up and scolded them, but the Red Guards didn't pay attention, just grabbed Hong Shun and pushed out, Lingzhi rushed over to pull Hong Shun, but Yulan screamed "ouch" here, Lingzhi turned around and saw Yulan holding her abdomen with both hands, in pain, knowing that Yulan's situation was not good, she hurriedly turned back to help Yulan, and those Red Guards took advantage of the situation to escort Hong Shun out of the door, Lingzhi endured the anger in his heart, took Yulan and hurried towards the county hospital, Yulan had unbearable pain in her abdomen along the way, her face was pale, and there were constant beads of sweat on her face.

When the two of them came to the entrance of the alley into the hospital, Yulan was so painful that she couldn't walk, and she slowly wanted to sit down by holding on to the wall of the lane, which made Lingzhi stunned, but her strength was limited, and she really couldn't help Yulan stand up, so she couldn't help but shout loudly to the hospital:

"Help! Come and help save people! ”

At this time, a fat woman came out of the hospital and hurriedly ran over when she heard Lingzhi's shouts.

"Ahh Ganoderma lucidum, is it magnolia? What's wrong? Are you going to give birth? Quick, let's carry her in. Aunt Peng couldn't help but say that she squatted down and hugged Yulan, Lingzhi helped lift Yulan's feet, and the two of them tried their best to carry Yulan into the hospital gate, a male doctor also came over to help send Yulan into the obstetrics and gynecology department, a female doctor rushed over to give Yulan a simple examination, and then asked a nurse to prepare the delivery bed and instruments, several people put Yulan on the delivery bed together, and the female doctor asked Lingzhi and Aunt Peng to go outside first to wait.

"I'm glad I met you today, otherwise I would have been desperate." Lingzhi said to Aunt Peng.

"Don't say that, we've been neighbors for many years, why are you here alone?" Aunt Peng asked.

"Well, I don't know what to tell you." Lingzhi shook his head and said.

"I've heard a few of them, but I've been in poor health for the past few years, and I rarely go out except to the hospital." Aunt Peng said.

"You're not well, what's wrong?" Lingzhi asked with concern.

"I can't say it well, it's just that I often get dizzy, I come to the hospital many times, and the doctor can't figure out what the disease is, so I have changed several medicines." Aunt Peng said.

"Oh, you were so hard just now, then you go back and rest, don't tire you down." Lingzhi said.

"It's okay, alas, Yulan and Chen Gang are really a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks." Aunt Peng sighed.

"How so? This day let the two of them meet. Lingzhi said.

"Okay, I guess it may take some time for Yulan to give birth, and I'll come to see her when she gives birth." Aunt Peng stood up and said.

"Okay, okay, you can go back quickly." Lingzhi sent Aunt Peng all the way out of the obstetrics and gynecology corridor, and the two did not wave goodbye until the entrance of the hospital.

Yulan was lying on the delivery bed, the pain in her abdomen made her miserable, the sweat on her face stained the hair on her forehead on her face, Yulan looked at the ceiling on her head, thinking about the gathering and separation with Chen Gang these days, these painful days made her sad, made her sad and angry, and made her liver and intestines broken, how she wanted to go back to the time when she met Chen Gang, the two of them worked together, studied together, went out to participate in training together, and lived happily and fulfilled every day, no matter what difficulties they encountered, Chen Gang's powerful arms will always be her harbor and support. Yulan remembered that Chen Gang had told her about the construction of a railway in the ancient city, and she wanted to wait for the railway to be completed, so she and Chen Gang would take her parents to Beijing by train. Now the arrival of the little life in the womb is only greeted by herself alone in this cold delivery room, and the alarm clock hanging on the wall is "ticking", as if a voice is saying to her, "Let's go, let's go", but where can she go? In a trance, Yulan saw Chen Gang smiling and stretched out his hand to pull her, but she always couldn't catch Chen Gang's hand, and after a while, Chen Gang became her father and mother again, looking at her with concern and asking her, but a puff of black smoke floated in, drowning her parents and parents, and Yulan stretched out her hands and waved desperately.

"You have to work hard, the full-term fetus will be in danger if it is not born quickly." The female doctor said to Magnolia.

"I, I, I can't." Magnolia said weakly.

"If you think about the child, no matter how hard you try, it will be very uncomfortable for the child to get stuck." The female doctor said anxiously.

"Child, child, Chen Gang, our child." Magnolia shouted with all her strength.

Only listen to the sound of "wow", the child finally came, the female doctor caught it excitedly, skillfully cut the umbilical cord, washed and wrapped the baby, and hugged it to Yulan, Yulan opened her tired eyes and took a look, only to feel that it was dark in front of her, the whole person fainted, the female doctor was startled, and hurriedly handed over the baby to the nurse, and she quickly rescued Yulan, but Yulan suffered heart failure due to excessive blood loss, and the female doctor tried everything she could, but still did not save Yulan's life.

Lingzhi was outside the delivery room when he heard the baby's cry, he was very happy, and when he saw the nurse holding the baby out, he hurried over to pick it up, and looked at it carefully, thinking that he had finally seen his grandson, and was full of joy, but the nurse let her go into the delivery room by herself, Lingzhi saw that the nurse looked serious, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart, holding the baby and slowly pushing the door open and walking in, the female doctor saw Lingzhi coming in, and stood up with her head down, Lingzhi looked at the delivery bed, and saw Yulan lying on the delivery bed without blood, her eyes slightly closed, With his hair disheveled, his hands spread out, and there was no trace of anger, Lingzhi's heart tightened, and he rushed over in a few steps, and shouted by Yulan's side:

"Magnolia, magnolia, magnolia."

"She lost so much blood that it took all her strength to save the baby." The female doctor whispered.

"Magnolia, why are you ahead of your mother? Open your eyes and look at the child! How can you be willing to leave your child behind. O God! Why is this unfair to us? Lingzhi hugged the baby and cried bitterly, and the female doctor and nurse couldn't help crying when they looked at the scene in front of them.
