CHAPTER XV. 2
2
I was involved in a criminal gang led by the Beijing Guan Xiang Party, and after being destroyed by the government, before I had time to remove the minions, Ma Cannon arranged the first part of the itinerary and began his life as an outlaw. After we fled together for more than half a year, we ran to the southwest without a clue.
The southwest is really a high mountain and a long road, we settled down in a small cottage, day and night, and really appreciated the hideousness of the cliffs and the whimper of the stream, as well as the frightening birdsong.
About two months later, Ma Dacang insisted on returning to the capital despite my dissuasion, saying that the more dangerous the place, the safer. I think he must not be worried about the two houses he bought in the capital. In the second year of our greening project, he went to the capital like a coal boss, bought it in full, and immediately rented it out to collect rent. At that time, he let Lu Dacui, who was tall and tall, take charge of it, and the two of them said that they were two people on the surface, and only the horse cannon went to the capital behind his back, and the two lived together. As soon as Ma Dacang left the capital, the woman seemed to be living with another person with a full face of flesh. I've seen that woman a few times. After that, my contact with Ma Cannon was transferred by this woman for security reasons. When I returned to the capital, she also provided me with daily necessities, but she disappeared within two months, forcing me to risk being exposed to broad daylight to earn a living.
The scene of our separation has the meaning of "Declining Lan sends off guests to Xianyang Road, if the sky is loved, the sky will be old", which is very sad, like he is going to the execution ground.
Ma Cannon and I fled to the southwest, it was really not intentional, it was a temporary idea.
After escaping from Inner Mongolia, we ran countless places, but we still didn't dare to stop, we always felt that someone was chasing and watching, and we didn't dare to close our eyes when we slept at night, for fear that we would be arrested if we closed our eyes.
We don't take the train, we choose a short minibus. Such a small passenger car is carried out between towns and towns, and at most it runs to the county seat, which is the main means of transportation for farmers in the countryside, beckoning and stopping, and pulling when you see people, until it is full. In this way, a township and a county or a county and a township are upside down, and sometimes we don't know which province or county the place we go to belongs.
One night, staying in a small hotel on the edge of a small town, Ma Cannon ate six bags of instant noodles, four salted duck eggs, and two egg-thick sausages in one go, which made the proprietress stare at Ma Cannon with a smile, almost ignoring my existence.
In the middle of the night, Ma Cannon woke me up after being woken up by the fermentation of instant noodles. Under the cover of the TV, he discussed with me where to run next. I was at a loss for what to do, and suddenly a gunshot rang out on the TV, and I slammed the bed and said, "There it is." Ma Cannon sat up suddenly, looked around and said, "I'm scared to death, what's there?" ”
"Hurry up, watch TV, watch TV!" I pointed to the TV for Ma Cannon to watch. In the corner of the wall, a television with an antenna was broadcasting the story of the Great Southwest Bandits, which was playing a part of the People's Liberation Army chasing bandits in a ravine. A bandit ran in a pile of rocks all over the mountain, and a group of PLA troops chased after him, and shot into the sky before he could catch up.
Ma Cannon gasped and lay down and said, "What's wrong with this?" ”
I said, "Let's go to the southwest, where the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, the traffic is blocked, and the people don't know the outside world, so it must be safe." Ma Cannon sat up as if he had been struck by electricity, patted the bed and said: "It's so decided, go there, why did the bandits unearthed in the southwest of the Great Southwest be wiped out, they can't be caught in one net." ”
We traveled a long way over the mountains and chose a small cottage, and Ma Cannon used his food to bribe the owner of the grocery store. We introduced that we came to collect wind and understand the people's feelings. The boss vacated a room of his house for us to live in, and the price was to buy his family's things for food. Ma Cannon and I both feel that the people here are simple and can be bought by consumption. It's just that we are really bank robbers, and they think that we are warriors who fight local tyrants and divide the land.
The horse cannon is gone, and the days of fear gradually subside. I've made countless vows and I'm determined not to go out, I want to live here for the rest of my life. I'm also determined never to look for Ma Cannon again, and I don't think he'll look for me again. But in fact, on the contrary, Ma Dacang passed instructions to me through Lu Dacui shortly after he left, which always kept me in a state of uneasiness, saying that it was not safe outside, and told me to stay in the mountains.
A year later, I also decided to escape from the ravine, and Peach Blossom asked me to take her out as well.
When we went on the road, her parents sent us out of the village for a long way, and the mountain road with nine twists and eighteen bends was also very long. When it came to the time when it was not okay to separate, Peach Blossom didn't seem to be a little sad, walked forward with her head held high, and ignored her parents who stood stunned and refused to turn back. I comforted Peach Blossom's parents, and said some nonsense things like the child is too old to be a mother, and a good woman should also be ambitious. When he turned around to chase Peach Blossom, the parents who saw Peach Blossom had no intention of turning back. I foolishly thought that maybe the mountains were too poor, and after more than a year in the mountains, she had been taken care of by many people, and she should be grateful for something in return, so she gave her parents 500 yuan. Unexpectedly, Peach Blossom's parents thought that I wanted to marry Peach Blossom, and told me to take good care of Peach Blossom with a smile, and they were relieved.
When I returned to the capital, I didn't dare to go home to see my parents. I was always worried that the danger on me had not been lifted, and that my father had killed his relatives in righteousness, and without the need for the police, a phone call would allow his subordinates in the army to send me directly to prison as if they were catching the enemy. Even if my father turned a blind eye, my mother would complain that I had achieved nothing, could not fulfill my filial piety, fell to the west, and my life was unbearable. It seems that home is not a safe place, so it is better to hide from afar.
Unexpectedly, I saw my father at the police station.
I took the package my father had thrown me and quickly escaped from the police.
I made a call to Lu Dacui in a secluded place, and wanted her to tell Ma Dacang, as if the public security department had lifted the pursuit of us, I stayed at the police station for a day and a night, and the police also checked my identity, so they didn't mention the fraud in Inner Mongolia. But Lu Dacui didn't know what nerves to have, and said word by word: "You made a mistake, I don't know any horse cannon at all!" ”
I sat stupidly on the package and thought about it for a long time, and countless scenarios swirled in my head, until finally I came to the conclusion that Ma Cannon might have been arrested. Lu Dacui doesn't admit to knowing Ma Dacang, what buddy do I still pretend, and I don't admit to knowing him. Since he didn't know Ma Dacang, he had to not know all his things, and he couldn't go back to the rental house he rented.
I searched for it until the evening, and then I rented a room in the basement of a family home. There are many underground houses like this in the capital, most of which are under the family buildings of the office buildings of government agencies, which are not usually inhabited, and are anti-atomic bombs, and almost all of them were built in the 60s when China and the Soviet Union had bad relations, and almost hollowed out the underground of the capital.
