Volume I, Chapter 34
When Huang Tingting returned from Fu Jen University, it was already more than 6 o'clock in the evening, and the winter sun had set early. There are many vendors selling lantern festivals, fruits, and lanterns on both sides of the street. She suddenly thought that tomorrow would be the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and she wanted to buy a few catties of Lantern Festival and go home to see her parents. Huang Tingting went around the street and bought a few catties of Lantern Festival and fruits, and she waved to a coachman parked not far away, who immediately rode a tricycle over. The coachman wore a long cotton robe with a big cotton hat, the hat was pressed low, so that people could hardly see his eyebrows, he came to Huang Tingting when he suddenly shook his whole body, lowered his head and wanted to walk away, but Huang Tingting had already sat in the car with a single leg and said: "Please pull me to the glass factory." The driver hesitated and rode slowly.
After getting in the car, Huang Tingting raised her head and looked at the round moon in the sky with great interest, and after a while, when she put her eyes on the coachman, she felt a little weird. The coachman's riding posture looked awkward, panting like a person who worked every day, and what made her even more strange was that the driver's left wrist showed a watch, and the people who pulled the cart were poor, and they couldn't afford to carry a watch. Huang Tingting had some doubts in her heart.
"What's your surname?" Huang Tingting deliberately accosted her.
The coachman lowered his head and pulled the cart without answering.
"What's your last name?" Huang Tingting asked again.
The cart puller squeezed out a small voice from his throat and said, "Don't be expensive, your surname is Wu." ”
Although the driver's voice was very soft and small, Huang Tingting still felt that the voice was a little familiar.
"You're riding so slowly, how long will it take to get to Liulichang, hurry up?" Huang Tingting complained.
The coachman just rode hard and did not answer.
Looking at the back of the cart puller, Huang Tingting felt familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. As she thought about it, she suddenly remembered someone, and she alertly touched the pistol hidden in her waist with her hand and quietly opened the bolt safety. She saw that the car had left the busy area, and there were no street lights and no pedestrians on the road in front of her, she was a little nervous and felt that she couldn't go anymore, so she said, "Master, please stop the car." ”
The coachman hesitated for a moment and slowly stopped.
"Turn around and take off your hat." Huang Tingting's tone suddenly became stern.
The coachman stood still.
Huang Tingting suddenly shouted: "Ma Liangchen! ”
The person pulling the car trembled like an electric shock after hearing it, he raised his leg and got out of the car, turned around helplessly, he saw Huang Tingting raising a gun at himself, and knelt down and said: "Miss Huang spare her life!" ”。
"Take your hat off!"
The coachman took off his hat.
Huang Tingting took a closer look, and this person was Ma Liangchen, a Kuomintang spy who had interrogated her many times. Huang Tingting pointed a gun at Ma Liangchen and shouted: "Sure enough, it's you!" Stand up! Raise your hands and turn away! ”
Ma Liangchen obediently raised his hand, Huang Tingting jumped out of the car and searched for a gun from his waist. Huang Tingting sat back in the car, she pointed a gun at Ma Liangchen's back and ordered: "Go!" Turn the car around and pull me back to the Drum Tower! She knew that there were a lot of people there, so when she met the PLA soldiers on patrol, she handed over Ma Liangchen to them.
Ma Liangchen blamed himself for being unlucky to run into Huang Tingting, he reluctantly turned the head of the car, slowly rode back, and kept begging for mercy: "Miss Huang, just let me go!" I have offended you a lot before, you adults don't care about villains, and I hope you Haihan. ”
Huang Tingting said mockingly: "It's really ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, I can't imagine that the spy who arrested me and tried me back then has now become my prisoner!" ”
On the way, Ma Liangchen said a lot of soft words, and saw that Huang Tingting didn't pay attention to him at all, so he said again: "Miss Huang, I used to be a dog who mixed rice, and I couldn't go west if my master asked me to go east." The two of us were each their own masters at the time, and I had no choice but to arrest you and try you! ”
"Less nonsense! When the time comes, you'll be told to say enough, go quickly! Huang Tingting pointed a gun at the back of Ma Liangchen's head.
"Miss Huang, do you know how you were rescued? It was I, Ma Liangchen, who sent a message to ** on the first day of your execution! If I hadn't rescued you, you and those ** would have died a long time ago! Now that we are changing our lives for one life, you should also let me live! As long as Miss Huang raises her noble hand and lets me go, I promise to be a new person in the future!" Ma Liangchen stopped the car and refused to ride.
"Whether or not you can be lenient depends on the judgment of the people. I have no right to let you go! Come on! Huang Tingting waved her pistol.
Ma Liangchen saw that Huang Tingting refused to let go of himself, so he had to ride slowly again, he knew that he would never end well if he was caught, he had to escape! Ma Liangchen rode his bicycle and looked for an opportunity to escape. Ma Liangchen pulled the car to a turning intersection, and then there was the lively Gulou Street, Ma Liangchen saw that there was no one outside, and he felt that if he didn't run, he would have no chance. Suddenly, he pointed to a black door hole next to him and shouted in horror: "Oops! Not good! Huang Tingting suddenly became nervous, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look over. At this moment, Ma Liangchen took the opportunity to twist the handlebars and rode the tricycle hard to the curb of the sidewalk, and the tricycle bumped twice by inertia before rushing onto the sidewalk and hitting a tree, and the car overturned on the ground. Huang Tingting, who was sitting in the car, fell off the car unexpectedly, one of her legs was pressed under the car, and her head hit the ground hard. Ma Liangchen, who had been prepared, got up and ran away, he ran quickly through the dark wall, and when Huang Tingting got up from the side of the car, he saw Ma Liangchen get into an alley. You must not let Ma Liangchen go! Huang Tingting rubbed her sore head, picked up the pistol that fell to the ground, and chased forward.
The alley that Ma Liangchen drilled into was slender and deep, and the yellow-white moonlight shining on the dark gray wall gave people a cold feeling. Chasing into the alley and missing Ma Liangchen's figure, Huang Tingting felt that there might be people hidden in every dark doorway, and she couldn't help but feel a little numb in her scalp. When she was thinking about whether to exit this alley, she suddenly felt a chill in her back, she intuitively felt someone behind her, and hurriedly looked back, it turned out to be Ma Liangchen pounced on her with a hideous gaze. As soon as her heart tightened, she shot back the gun, and when the muzzle of the gun spewed fire, Huang Tingting was punched heavily in the temple, and she only felt that her head exploded with a "boom", and then her eyes turned black, and the person fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Ma Liangchen stepped forward and reached out and touched Huang Tingting's nose, sensing that she was still breathing, he picked up Huang Tingting's pistol that fell to the ground and aimed it at her chest, and scolded viciously: "Stinky woman! ** Looking for death! But he hesitated a little and did not shoot, he put away his pistol and flashed into the depths of the alley like a ghost.
The shot fired by Huang Tingting just now alarmed the PLA soldiers patrolling nearby, and they quickly rushed over. At the scene, they only saw Huang Tingting, who fell to the ground and did not know who was unknown, and did not find anything suspicious.
