Gongren opened a small bookstore opposite Tongxing Restaurant, and there was a place to live for the time being. One night, Gong Ren saw that the Tongxing Restaurant was closing, and he felt uncomfortable in the small bookstore, so he came to the Tongxing Restaurant.

When he entered the door, he smiled at the young man, who already knew Gong Ren and did not stop him. Gongren entered the small courtyard and arrived at Deng Yulin's door, and saw that there were robes and sweatshirts hanging on the wire at the door, and Deng Yulin's door was also closed.

Gongren knocked on the door with a code, and Deng Yulin in the house asked, "Who?" Gong Ren said, "I, why did I close the door as soon as it got dark, did I sleep?" Deng Yulin in the house said: "What kind of sleep are you sleeping, isn't it inconvenient to open the door!" After a while, I saw Deng Yulin open the door.

Gong Ren saw that he was only wearing one pants, almost naked, although they were all men, but they were also a little dazzling, Gong Ren said: "Brother Yulin...... Don't hurry up and get dressed. ”

Deng Yulin said embarrassedly: "Brother Gongren, I'm really embarrassed, my clothes have been washed." Gong Ren said a little angrily: "Then you don't want to change it." Deng Yulin said with a wry smile: "If there were clothes that I had changed a long time ago, I wouldn't have to close the door." I'm really sorry, I know it's disrespectful to the guests. ”

Gong Ren looked at Deng Yulin's house, except for a thin quilt and a thin mattress on the bed, it was almost empty, with only four walls. There is a big wooden box in the corner, which is strange and eye-catching, is there something good about Deng Yulin hidden in the wooden box? Gong Ren opened the wooden box and saw that it was empty, and there was nothing.

Gong Ren wrinkled his brows and said, "I haven't been here for a few days, why has the house become like this, it must have been robbed, right?" Deng Yulin smiled and said: "I'm afraid that the person who dares to rob me hasn't been born yet, and I take everything that can be taken as a treat." Gong Ren laughed at him and said: "That's weird, you're the boss, I still want you to have a treat, but I didn't expect to be poorer than me." What do you do with the money you earn? ”

Deng Yulin said: "Are you really confused, or are you fake, what is the money for, do you still need me to say?" ”

Gong Ren suddenly thought that the money he earned from opening a hotel and all his private property might have been used as funds for the uprising.

Gong Ren hurriedly took off his gown and handed it to Deng Yulin and said, "I didn't know it was like this." If Brother Yulin doesn't dislike it, put on this first, you have to have a dress to change? ”

Deng Yulin pushed away the gown handed over by Gong Ren, and said, "It's enough for me to have the set at the door, what do you want so many clothes for." Sun Wu and Jiao Dafeng are like this, they are already so poor that they are penniless, if you are rich, can you help them? Sun Wu, like me, took off his clothes when he got home, and Mrs. Sun washed him, and the next day his clothes were dry before he could go out. We are different from the literary club, the literary club enters the social club with a fee of 1 yuan, and then pays one-tenth of the monthly salary every month, that is, 4 taels and 2 cents are deducted from the salary of 4 taels and 2 cents per soldier. And our communist association has to be funded by members other than the military, and we don't need money to send comrades to liaise around, print documents, and make flags, announcements, and seals. Do you think you can not be tight on funds? ”

Gong Ren asked, "Isn't there any other way?" ”

"Why didn't you think about it, speaking of which, there are still a few stories," Deng Yulin said, "There is a Dacheng Temple in Guangji County, Hubei, and there is a very heavy golden Bodhisattva in the temple. When I got there, I realized that the Golden Bodhisattva was not only strictly guarded by the monks, but also that ordinary people could not move at all. Jiao Dafeng returned to his hometown in Hunan, gathered a few strong men, and arrived at the city temple to steal the golden bodhisattva. When I arrived in Guangji County, it was raining heavily, and I arrived at Dacheng Temple in the middle of the night. They cut a hole in the wall, passed through the wall, and took down the golden bodhisattva, and the Hercules carried it on his back, and the others broke off and took cover. I didn't want to just get out of the Dacheng Temple, I ran into some Qizhou catchers, Jiao Dafeng thought that the theft of the Buddha was discovered, and in a panic, he had to throw the golden bodhisattva to the field and escape. After a while, those Qizhou catchers were almost gone, and then went to the field to search carefully for the golden Buddha, but they couldn't find anything. Later, I learned that those Qizhou catchers did not come for the Golden Bodhisattva at all, and they happened to rush there that day. ”

Gong Ren sighed and said, "It's a pity, if the Golden Buddha is in hand, it will cost thousands of taels of gold." For the sake of the revolution, the Golden Bodhisattva should also be aggrieved! ”

Deng Yulin said: "In order to raise funds, there are all kinds of jokes. When Hunan comrade Zou Yongcheng came to Hankou, he saw that the funds for the revolution were tight, so he said that his aunt lived in Wuchang Baguajing, and that she had a lot of gold and silver hand ornaments, and if she could find a way to take them out, she could use them for the revolution. I asked the 31st standard military doctor Jiang Zhenglan to match **, Zou Yongcheng bought good wine, put the medicine in the wine, and went to his aunt's house, saying that he was going to travel far away, and he came to drink with his aunt. Sun Wu and I waited outside the door, waited for a long time, and saw no movement, only heard Zou Yongcheng's aunt talking and laughing freely, not confused at all. Zou Yongcheng came out and said to me: "The medicine doesn't work, the medicine doesn't work." "The plan was unsuccessful.

Gong Ren asked, "What happened after that?" ”

Deng Yulin said: "Later, Zou Yongcheng deceived his aunt's youngest son to Hankou, and he had to ask his aunt to redeem it, but his aunt had no choice but to take out 800 yuan as revolutionary funds. ”

Gong Ren sighed and said, "For the sake of funds, family affection is completely disregarded. At the expense of these family ties, the revolution saved more family ties, and it was also worth it. ”

Deng Yulin said: "Liu Xiangou, a merchant in Liuyang, sold cloth to Hankou, and met Jiao Dafeng at the Qinghe Inn, Jiao Dafeng preached the revolutionary truth to Liu Xiangou, Liu Xiangou was deeply moved, joined the Communist Association, and handed over all the cloth to the Communist Association as revolutionary funds. Zhang Zhenwu was managing money at the Communist Association, and when he saw that the meeting was in financial difficulties, he sold all the ancestral property from his hometown and where he lived now, and used all of it as revolutionary funds. Liu Gong was originally a wealthy man in Xiangyang, and after Liu Gong and his aunt and cousin Tao Dekun discussed, Tao Dekun came out to Liu Gong's father Liu Zijing and said that if you want to make a fortune, you must first be a big official, and if you become a big official, it is not difficult to make a big fortune. After listening to this, Liu Zijing felt that he was in the middle of it, and decided to donate 20,000 taels of silver. Liu Gong took the 20,000 taels of silver tickets to the provincial capital Wuchang and handed over 10,000 taels to the Communist Association for revolutionary funds. Although these revolutionary comrades gave their help in this way, the funds were still insufficient to cope with such a large uprising. ”

Gong Ren said: "In this case, we are all so poor that we can't squeeze oil and water no matter how much we squeeze it, don't you think of asking those corrupt officials for money?" ”

Deng Yulin said: "Why didn't you think of it! However, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials have guards and nurses, and we can't get money when we make a fuss, and we are afraid of arousing the vigilance of the dogs. We are all soldiers, and it is okay to rush and kill, but when it comes to stealing, there is really no master! ”

Gong Ren said: "How about I recommend a master? ”

Deng Yulin was overjoyed, and patted Gongren's shoulder vigorously and said, "Great! Ill-gotten gains can be taken by everyone, and what is polite to them. I wonder who this master is? Gong Ren said proudly: "She is my sister Tang Qingying." ”

Deng Yulin shouted: "Okay, I raise my hands in approval." ”

Gong Ren sent a telegram to Tang Qingying that night, and there were only four words on the telegram: "See the newspaper and come quickly!" And wrote the address of the Wuchang bookstore.

A few days later, at noon, a bewitching woman suddenly appeared in the bookstore. She wore small and delicate yellow leather shoes, a white pleated skirt, a beige short-sleeved gown, her hair was black and shiny, and she was pulled into a bun at the back of her head, and she wore a pair of snow-white gloves on her dexterous little hands, and pushed a pair of fashionable inky glasses on her nose from time to time.

The excessive dress makes the whole person look lively and vivid, and a little funny.

With feelings, Gong Ren knew that this was Tang Qingying. Since ancient times, her daughter has loved red clothes, but Tang Qingying has been a horse for half her life, and she has no chance to express herself, so she finally seized an opportunity at this time, so let her show it well!

Gong Ren nodded and said, "Hello, Miss, what book do you want, please tell me?" The young lady pouted and said, "I want "Fierce Return", and "Revolutionary Army"? Gong Ren said with an embarrassed face: "Miss, you are so young and beautiful, you should want some flowers, grass, love poems, narrative essays or something, what do you want those rebellious books for?" Sorry, these books you want are **, we don't have them here. ”

The young lady looked angry, reprimanded Gong Ren and said: "What**not**, I don't care, just bring it, I just want to see it**!" Gong Ren had no choice but to humbly stretch out his hand and say, "If you have to see it, Miss—please inside." Gong Ren gave the young man a look, and took Tang Qingying into the inner room.

As soon as she entered the inner room, Tang Qingying suddenly hugged Gong Ren's neck, kissed Gong Ren's face, and revealed the original local dialect in her mouth, and said feverishly: "Dear, dear......" Gong Ren's heart was surging for a while, and he wanted to accept her gift, but he felt that it was not like that, and where did he put the western products. I had to pinch Tang Qingying lightly and said, "I knew it was you, what kind of words are like, what words are like, how bad it is for people to see." ”

Tang Qingying said stubbornly: "I don't care, I don't care, I know that you men are all hypocrites." When I came from Guangzhou, how majestic and high-spirited, I thought you were hard-hearted! Forget about me! I didn't expect it, it's only been a few days, I can't hold it back, miss me! ”

Gong Ren gently pushed her away and coaxed her to say, "That's the case, I came to Wuchang because I had a mission." Tang Qingying pouted and said angrily: "I don't care about any tasks, I just miss you, dear father, don't you want me!" My little brother, why are you so ruthless! ”

In a word, the heart of the righteous man was full of mixed feelings, he sighed for a long time, and a kind of fatherly love rose in his heart to Tang Qingying's children's words, and all kinds of family affection arose, and he went up and stroked her hair and said, "How can I not want you, where are you talking." It's been so many years, I'm used to it, I can't see you for a day, my heart is really empty, I can't see you for so many days, it's really like a year! ”

Tang Qingying suddenly fell into Gong Ren's arms and said, "Yes, Brother Gong Ren, although I am angry with you, but if it weren't for you, I really couldn't sleep at night, and I always felt that there was a lot of things missing." Gong Ren said: "This child, if it weren't for the two of you, this is heart-to-heart!" Tang Qingying said gently: "I marry you, how about being together every day in the future?" Gongren said: "Isn't it crazy again, silly boy, I am your father, let alone your brother, where do you put the western products?" ”

Tang Qingying got angry again, pushed Gong Ren away and said, "Then what did you call me to do?" Gong Ren said: "That's the case, the revolutionary funds here are tight, and the Communist Party has decided to let you 'borrow' some funds from those corrupt officials." ”

Tang Qingying became angry all of a sudden, her thick eyebrows were raised, and her big eyes glared and said, "No way!" So you called me here for this? If I had known about this, I wouldn't have come! What are you doing with you five-foot-tall men, pushing everything to me a little girl, because you are still my father and brother, how can you say it......"

Yes, as a gang leader and an old comrade who has been revolutionary for many years, he should have taken on a heavier burden, so why did he have to hand over such an important task to a little girl? But can you accomplish this important task with your own ability, it will definitely not be completed, and only Tang Qingying, who is both wise and brave, can complete this important task......

Seeing that Gong Ren was speechless for a while, Tang Qingying's heart was happy, and after thinking about it, she said, "Hmm...... If you want to do this, it's not impossible, but you have to promise me one condition? Gong Ren hurriedly said: "Don't say one condition, ten conditions are fine." Tang Qingying said: "Then you have to agree to marry me." ”

Gongren was silent, thought for a while and said, "Qingying, let's not say whether this condition will work or not, and ......then talk about it when the task is completed."

Tang Qingying said resolutely: "No! If you don't say that, don't expect me to take this vow. I know you, and when I'm done with this, you'll turn around and deny it. ”

When I thought of my 17-year relationship with Xipin, and when I thought that because of my incompetence, Xipin had been suffering in the fire pit and the devil's cave for more than ten years in vain, and my heart ached like a pinprick, and I resolutely couldn't agree to Tang Qingying. However, when he thought that in order to raise funds, the principal leaders were already so poor that they could no longer come up with a penny, and that the great cause of the revolution was about to be wasted for the sake of funds, and he felt anxious in his heart...... After thinking about it for a while, there was no other way, so Gong Ren had to stomp his feet and say, "Okay! I promise you, marry you. ”

Le Tang Qingying jumped up, so excited that tears were in her eyes, she hugged Gong Ren's neck and kissed Gong Ren's face. Gong Ren didn't feel any pleasure in his heart, he only felt a feeling of being held hostage, he gently pushed Tang Qingying's hand away and said, "Okay, okay, let's study the work, right?" ”

Tang Qingying thought for a while and said, "That's not good, there's no evidence, you have to set up a note." As he spoke, he found paper, pen, and ink on Gong Ren's desk, and he had to make a note for Gong Ren. Gong Ren said: "I don't think it's necessary, don't you still believe me." ”

Tang Qingying said stubbornly: "That's not good, I see that you can't talk safely, if you regret it, I will take this piece of paper and go to the organization to complain." As he spoke, he took a pen and forced Gong Ren to write a note.

Gong Ren had no choice but to pick up the pen hesitantly. Tang Qingying was studying ink on the side, and seeing that Gongren was still hesitating, she grabbed Gongren's pen and dipped it in ink, and handed it to Gongren. Gong Ren smiled bitterly, wrote "I will definitely marry you" on the paper, and wrote his name.

Tang Qingying was even happier at this moment, and after the ink dried, she gently folded the piece of paper and put it in her close pocket, as if she had put in a reassuring pill. She pointed to Gongren's nose again and said, "In black and white, see if you dare to deny it!" You have to dare to deny it, and see that I don't take you ...... Hum! Gong Ren shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble." Let's study who to start with first! ”
