Forty-one Bitter Love

In the early summer of 1966, dark clouds rolled in the sky of the Republic of China, lightning flashed and thundered, and the "May 16" circular was unveiled. In the following ten years, the land of Kyushu has performed many tragic stories!

Every morning until dusk, loudspeakers in front of the farm department repeatedly broadcast editorials of "two newspapers and one magazine," commenting on the murderous critical articles and the statements and decisions of the rebel organizations. "The sea sails by the helmsman" and the sonorous quotation song resounded in the sky. The only lyrical song is the poignant and mournful song "The sky is full of stars, the crescent moon is shining, the production team holds a meeting, complains and avenges grievances......"

Wu Bande, director of the Political Department, couldn't hold back his excitement, and called his hardcore henchman You Honglu to ask, did you listen to the morning news? The trumpet of the Great Revolution sounded, and it opened fierce fire on the representatives of the bourgeoisie from all walks of life! The political department is the nerve center of the whole farm, you tighten the string in your head, and the heavy responsibility of history falls on our shoulders!

You Honglu hurriedly swore an oath: Director rest assured, where do you point to me and I will rush to, I am willing to dare to pull the emperor off the horse!

He once again slandered for his little brother You Hongshan: The two people in the children's school have no intention of repenting, they are inseparable from each other by playing the violin and singing, and they are full of beautiful sounds, which are absolutely related to Lin Bai's connivance and protection. It's time to organize!

Wu Bande found a breakthrough in his "fierce fire" -- Lin Bai was the wife of a rightist, and Sun Junhu favored her as the principal. Ignited the flame of revolutionary rebellion in Maoshan Farm, pulled Sun Junhu off the horse and replaced him, and took his black cadre Lin Bai to open the knife. Jiang Lesheng is nothing more than a black minion, kicked out of school!

So he told You Honglu that Nie Yuanzi, who wanted You Hongshan to be Maoshan, posted big-character posters to bombard Lin Bai, pointing the finger at her boss Sun Junhu!

Due to the insufficient supply of timber plan, Maoshan Farm set up a logging team to go to the Shengngen River forest area of Xiaoxing'an Mountains, cultivating forests in spring, repairing roads in summer and autumn, and logging in winter. Three veteran cadres including Ping Qingyun were dispatched to lead the team, and more than 200 employed agricultural workers were ready to go.

The deep mountains and dense forests are inaccessible, and only the side roads run out by tractors can be accessed. In the season when there is no freezing, the traffic is blocked, and the postal road is blocked, and it is completely isolated from the outside world. Wu Bande thought that this was an excellent place to send Jiang Lesheng, not exile of exile, not house arrest.

He instructed Xue, the elder of the personnel section, to transfer Jiang Lesheng to the logging team. His class is especially Hongshan, and let Lin Bai take a few classes, anyway, she doesn't highlight politics.

Honglu helped aside: That Jiang Lesheng, only the representative of the bourgeoisie appreciates him.

Xue Lesheng, the elder of the personnel department, found Jiang Lesheng, with an indifferent expression and a cold tone, saying that the logging team lacked an accountant to transfer him, and the revolutionary work was the same. Jiang Lesheng began to feel surprised, and remembered that Honglu's words of "taking organizational measures" fully understood. He pleaded with a glimmer of hope: The students are only one month away from graduating, send the Buddha to the Western Heavens, and wait for them to finish the exam.

Lao Xue flipped through the record book and shook his head: No. Today on the 23rd, you go back and prepare to enter the mountain the day after tomorrow.

Dinner in the cafeteria is coming to an end. Jiang Lesheng was full of worries, and he ate hastily but didn't know what he ate. In the twilight, he walked alone on the way back to school. Looking up, I saw Cong Jing's figure hovering at the school gateโ€”she was waiting for news from him.

In order to avoid You Hongshan, they left the campus and embarked on a path to the foot of Mao Mountain. The bushes of elm leaves and plums on the side of the road have not yet released their leaves, but they are full of flowers and branches, and the fragrance is refreshing.

As soon as he heard that Jiang Lesheng was transferred to the logging team and stationed in the deep mountains and old forests, Cong Jing said angrily: Excuse! What job is required? It's obviously a bad trick to break up our bad moves, and the scoundrel guys collude with the ghost tricks they are doing, and they are going to reason with them!

Jiang Lesheng persuaded her: A raccoon dog, how can you talk to them?

Cong Jing thought about it and proposed: Go find Secretary Sun, he has always appreciated you. I guess he doesn't necessarily know about it, and he's hiding it from him. Why don't you ask Section Chief Xue?

Cong Jing, who has always been elegant, is anxious to become like this, and Jiang Lesheng's heart is hot. He said that Lao Xue's attitude today was very abnormal, and he was playing official. At dinner, I also wanted to go to Secretary Sun, and then I thought about it: if he knew that he also agreed to do so, I would criticize him for not obeying the organizational transfer; If he doesn't know, the person who makes the claim on his own must be very energetic, and now that the wood is in the boat, how can Secretary Sun take back his life for me and offend a person who cannot be underestimated?

Cong Jing nodded, agreeing with his analysis and judgment.

The last quarter moon rises from behind the conical summit of Maoshan Mountain, a small but bright one. The sky was cloudless and bright grayish-blue.

The two men walked slowly forward side by side. After being silent for a long time, Cong Jing asked: What is the difference between staying with those employed peasant workers and doing hard labor?

Jiang Lesheng said angrily: What can be done? I can't fly high with wings, and I can't step with my legs! I am black when I leave the land under my feet, with no food to eat, no work, no way to live. I really envy the gypsies in the movie, they live at the bottom of society, but they are free to wander the world, like me, confined to the slap and suffocated to death, there is no choice. No wonder You Honglu said, "You have great ability, and you are nothing without the organization." Alas, they were at their mercy.

He smiled wryly, tears glistening on his eyelashes.

Cong Jing suddenly pounced on him, fell on his shoulder and cried bitterly. She cried and trembled, repeating a sentence in her mouth: It's all my fault for being bad, I hurt you!

Jiang Lesheng panicked, patted her back gently like a child, and comforted incoherently, I don't blame you, how can I blame you? I can't thank you enough! You have never discriminated against me, you really help me, you are the great mercy and compassion in my heart......

They hugged each other tightly. After a long time, Jiang Lesheng moved her arm and said, let's go, it's not good to be seen. Alas, this day is different, I don't know what year and month they will be together again.

Cong Jing took his hand and raised his head: What are you afraid of? We are above board, who has the right to interfere?

Jiang Lesheng squeezed her soft little hand, and a warm stream spread all over her body.

The two unknowingly came to the bottom of the mountain. It was a sparse birch forest, with trunks like silver corals in the moonlight, buds on the branches, and the ground covered with dry old leaves. Scattered among the forests are many brown stone dragons, the remains of volcanic magma.

They leaned on a stone dragon and sat on the soft fallen leaves and spoke.

Cong Jing leaned his head on his shoulder and said sadly: Liu, I'm really worried about you, the deep mountains and old forests are called isolated, and normal people will go crazy! It's all my fault, it's me who hurt you!

She ran her hands over his cheeks and stroked the scar on his forehead with her right index finger, tears streaming down her face. God, why is it so unfair and makes you suffer so much? Liu, I'm sorry for you, I'm really sorry!

Her cold lips pressed against his eyelids, as if trying to suck the bitter water out of it, as a way to express her guilt and comfort for him.

The night was silent. Jiang Lesheng hugged Cong Jing into his arms, and the two young hearts beat wildly. He stared at her handsome face, long eyelashes, and silky braids, correcting her and saying Red Lotus, you were not right. I'm the one who has caused you. You are so innocent and kind, I am grateful to you for the rest of my life!

Jiang Lesheng said that the only way out is to hope for the college entrance examination, but fortunately, I have already reviewed it well. Tomorrow, I will write to Principal Li to ask for the registration form, and when the form is sent, you can help me fill it out and send it back to him. Success or failure is here.

Cong Jing resolutely said: Liu, you take the college entrance examination first, and all the problems will be solved easily. No, I've already figured out a way out - I went home during the summer vacation, and begged my father to transfer us to Blackwater, why can't you do it with your talents? I promised Dad that we would never disgrace him. I'm going to get down on my knees in front of Daddy and beg him to save us! Doesn't it say that right has everything? Dad should have no trouble doing this...... If he really can't bear it, Liu, you are Fan Xiliang who served hard labor, and I am the Meng Jiangnu who cried down the Great Wall! The sea is dry and the stones are rotten, and the red lotus belongs only to you in this life!

This speech was sincere, Jiang Lesheng burst into tears when he heard it, and said movingly, Honglian, thank you.

Cong Jing took off his tweed trench coat and spread it on the dead leaves on the ground, and then slowly untied the layers of clothes. The moonlight flowed like mercury, reflecting her beautiful body, jade and ice, like a statue of Venus with intact arms. She tugged him to snuggle up to her and whispered, "What a moon, what a peaceful world!" Heaven blesses Maoshan as a witness, we will never be separated in this life and this life!

This is an extremely sacred moment, the first time they will never forget in their lives, and it finally explodes after being suppressed for too long. The two wild hearts clinging to each other, forgetting fear and shyness, so excited and excited that they can't help themselves, and the blood rushes all over them, crashing, burning, and boiling. Jiang Lesheng felt dizzy and confused, leaned over Cong Jing's ear and said hesitantly: Red Lotus, we are standing on the cliff-

Cong Jing hugged him tightly, her cheeks were hot, and she called out urgently: Come on! My Rochester!

The bright moon peeked at their panic and clumsiness, and the breeze in the forest urged the buds to sprout new leaves. Passion burns like boiling magma, spewing from the crater.

Moments of happiness are always short-lived. Before they knew it, it was late at night, and they returned to campus arm in arm. Not far away, a black shadow probe poked into his brain and came to meet them, almost colliding with them, it was the scoundrel You Hongshan!

You Hongshan sneered and asked: Where did you go in the middle of the night?

Jiang Lesheng asked rhetorically: What about you?

You Hongshan's face almost touched the tip of his nose, sniffing like a hound: I'm looking for you everywhere, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a short-term view.

Jiang Lesheng couldn't bear it anymore, took a half step back and slapped him.

Unexpectedly struggling to strike, You Hongshan stumbled, covered his mouth and shouted, you hit someone?

Jiang Lesheng said hatefully: I am fighting the stalker villain, the dog who eats on the road!

You Hongshan thief was timid, and said while retreating: Okay, okay, let's see!

Jiang Lesheng quenched his mouth and spit, imitating his usual tone and said: Fuck! What can I do?

Cong Jing looked at You Hongshan's obscene back and scolded: This leper dog!

The next day, Jiang Lesheng went to the branch to say goodbye to the third sister. only said that the logging team had just been established and lacked an accountant, and the stationmaster named him. The third sister asked him if he was still in love with Cong Jing? He shook his head sadly, holding back the tears that were about to overflow. The third sister said I know you are bitter in your heart, but what can you do? - Alas! Die that heart, blame us for our thin brains. She told her brother that the mountains are very bitter, and you must take care of yourself, because your sister can't care about you. As he spoke, he burst into tears.

He told the third sister that communication in the forest area is very difficult, and someone will come to you to deliver a message when they return to the farm. I want to take the college entrance examination, I have asked Cong Jing to help me sign up, she will look for you if there is something, you treat her as a sister!

When I returned to the dormitory and was packing up, Cong Jing came with a bag of things under her armpit. Her face was haggard, her eyes were red, and the beautiful sideburns in her ears were gone. Le Sheng was taken aback and asked her where she was uncomfortable? She said sadly, nothing, come and see you. opened the bag and took out a set of velvet pants from it, which was newly bought from the supply and marketing cooperative; Inside her dress was an envelope containing a four-inch black-and-white photograph of her and a bundle of sideburns tied with rubber bands. In the photo, the big eyes looked at him with affection. A line of small print on the back was written last night: If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight. 1966ใ€‚ 5ใ€‚ 23ใ€‚

She lowered her head and said softly: The climate in the mountains is unpredictable, don't catch a cold, who will take care of you when you are sick?

What gift in the world is more precious than sideburns? Jiang Lesheng kissed and silently put it in his chest pocket. He took out two yellowed magazines from the bottom of the box, handed them to her, and said, "This is the only thing I have to record success, help me put them away." It turned out to be a book of "Juvenile Literature and Art" and a book of "Youth", on which his study was published.

Cong Jing stroked two old magazines and said: Seeing words is like seeing people, write a few words.

Jiang Lesheng fell into deep thought, and then wrote on the cover of the magazine:

Jun is the red lotus, I am the willow, and the willow accompanies the red lotus sleepwalking in the sky. Ask if Wu Gang is happy? Wu Gang drunk osmanthus wine. My fair lady stretched her sleeves and danced the Zhongzi dance with Liu Lianlian. There should be no jackals and tigers in the heavenly palace, how can it be like rain in the world!

Cong Jing looked at it, tears rolled down, and suddenly hugged him on the cheek and kept kissing wildly, Liu, you are too sad, be happy, let's be happier! The tears of the two of them flowed together, staining their clothes.
