Juehui and Juemin walked out the front door of the commercial field. Juemin goes to Qin's house, and Juehui goes the other way to see a friend.

Juehui walked a few streets alone and met her classmate Zhang Huiru at the intersection. He was running with his head buried in anger, and he didn't see Juehui, but he was grabbed by Juehui.

"Huiru, what's the matter with you? You're running so fast! Juehui asked in surprise.

The young man with a triangular face raised his head and glanced at Juehui, with a few beads of sweat on his forehead, panting in his mouth, and he was so anxious that he couldn't speak. It took him a while to spit out a few words: "Unbelievable! …… Something went wrong! ”

"Say it quickly! What's up? Juehui asked in horror.

Zhang Huiru's breathing smoothed out a little, but he still spoke excitedly, and his voice trembled because of anger and anxiety: "We beat Qiu Ba!" …… It's in the Wanchun Tea Garden. ”

"What? Say, say it quickly! Juehui held Zhang Huiru's left arm with a trembling hand and kept shaking. What the! Soldiers beat students? Tell me the details! ”

"I'm going back to school and tell my classmates. Let's go all the way, I'll tell you slowly......" Zhang Huiru's eyes lit up with hatred.

Juehui involuntarily turned around and turned around to follow Zhang Huiru. He was feverish, biting his lip, waiting for Zhang Huiru to speak.

"Listen to me, listen to me," Zhang Huiru recounted in an excited voice as she walked, "Acting in Wanchun Tea Garden today, I am neither an actor nor a position, I am just a spectator. It is said that when the show starts, two or three soldiers must go in to watch the white opera without buying tickets. The ticket collector told them that it was different from a normal theater, and that they couldn't go to the theater without buying a ticket. They were so unreasonable that they had to go in, and they were finally kicked out by our people. After a while, they invited more than a dozen companions, and they must have made a fuss about going in. Our men, fearing that they would cause trouble, let them in for the sake of peace and quiet. When they got inside, they sat down, cheering and making a fuss, even more presumptuous than in an ordinary theater. Later, our people couldn't help it and advised them to be quiet and not to interfere with others watching the play. They are still messing around. Our people have to come out and interfere to maintain order. Thus they were offended. They started fighting, and some of them even ran to the stage to make trouble. The chaos was big, and later the city defense headquarters sent a company of soldiers to suppress it. However, the theater has not been able to fight, and there are a few minor injuries among the classmates. All the soldiers who caused the accident fled, and not a single one was caught. A company of armed soldiers can't even catch a few bare-handed Qiu Ba, which brother-in-law believes it! This was clearly pre-arranged. ……”

"Yes, it must have been pre-arranged!" Jue Hui hurriedly said, he pressed his hand to his chest, and he felt the anger rising upwards, and his chest seemed to be about to burst. "In the past few days, there have been rumors that the authorities have acted unfavorably against the students. It is said that in the past two years, the students have been too fond of making trouble, inspecting the enemy goods today, and demonstrating tomorrow, and they are too arrogant to be strictly controlled. Therefore, they tried their best to incite the soldiers' bad feelings towards the students, and used Qiu Ba to deal with the students. This is the first step. Look at it, there's more to come! ”

"We here held an emergency meeting in Shaocheng Park, and decided to immediately summon all the students from all schools to petition the Overseer. The conditions that should be proposed have already been decided. Are you going or not? Zhang Huiru said and quickened his pace.

"Of course!" Jue Hui agreed, and when they were almost at the school, they strode towards the school. They walked into the school with great excitement.

There were quite a few students living on campus in the playground, and they gathered in a few piles and were talking about something. There was a lot of noise, as if the whole school was coming alive. Zhang Huiru knew that the news must have arrived before him. Sure enough, he saw Huang Cunren, a classmate in the first year of high school, talking there, he played the father in "Lifetime Events". But when it was time for the trouble, "Lifetime Events" had already been performed.

Now that the news has arrived here, Zhang Huiru doesn't have to report anything. He and Juehui casually joined a bunch of people and listened to what they had to say. He also spoke, and he finally told all that he knew. They talked and talked passionately until it was time for everyone to set out.

Shaocheng Park is a temporary meeting place for students. By the time the group got there, there were already several school students who had arrived first. It's Sunday, it's not easy for students to gather, some schools have already had winter vacation, so it's not all there, the number is much worse than the real number, and there are only a few important schools, which are far worse than the number of people who participated in the inspection demonstrations. However, there are more than 200 people.

The sky has turned blue-gray. Nearby lights began to come on. The brigade headed for the Overseer's Department.

Juehui looked around nervously. There were a number of onlookers standing by the roadside: some were curious, some were whispering, and some were timidly avoiding.

"Most of them are going to check the enemy goods again, I don't know which shop is unlucky?" An unfamiliar accent came into Juehui's ears, and he turned his head to look at a pair of treacherous little eyes on a thin face. He immediately raised his eyebrows. But he wasn't quite sure if he had misheard the latter sentence. He still followed the group.

They made their way to the Overseer's Quarters, and it was getting late. The darkness pressed down and made everyone's mood more tense. They have a strange feeling that this is not only the darkness of the sky, but also the darkness of society and politics. They fought with all this with a young heart, in the midst of this group of citizens who seemed to be indifferent.

The party arrived in the square in front of the Overseer's Office. A platoon of soldiers waited for them with their guns in front, sharp spears pointed at their chests. The soldiers all looked at the large group of students in silence with serious expressions. The students shouted excitedly to get in, and the soldiers refused to put down their guns. The two sides argued, and after some time. After some deliberation, the students decided to nominate eight delegates to meet the Overseers. However, the eight delegates were still unable to enter the Overseer's office, and the soldiers stopped them. Later, a small officer came out and said to them unceremoniously:

"The governor went home. Please go back. ”

The delegates gently reasoned and said that even in the absence of the Overseers, it would be better to ask the Secretary-General to come and appear on their behalf. However, the petty officer only shook his head coldly and said, "It can't be done," and he also looked proud, as if to indicate that now that the power was in his hands, he could deal with so many students alone.

The delegates reported the results of the negotiations to the students. The whole square immediately burst into an uproar.

"No, the Overseers have to come out to see us!"

"Gotta get in, gotta get in!"

"If the Overseer isn't here, call the Secretary-General to come out and see him!"

"Rush in, no matter what you do, rush in and talk about it!"

All kinds of words echoed in the air. There are countless heads moving in the square. Some people really rush forward, but let others block them.

"Students, be quiet, order, we have to keep order!" One of the deputies shouted loudly.

"Order!" "Order!" Some shouted in response.

"Whatever order he has! Rush in first! "Someone called it that.

"No, they have guns!" Someone else replied.

"Order, order! Listen to the representatives! That's what most people call it.

The noise gradually calmed down, and order was finally restored. Fine raindrops began to fall in the dark sky.

"Students, they won't let us in, and the Overseer won't send anyone out to see us. Now what? Go back, or wait here? So that all the people in the audience could hear him, the representative who spoke screamed so hard that his voice was dumb.

"We're not going back!" This was the unanimous answer of all the students.

"We must meet the people inside! We must get a result for this petition! Let's not be fooled! "There are many people who shout like that.

At this time, the petty officer walked up to the deputies and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is raining, I advise you to go back, and I will be responsible for conveying your intentions to the governor." It is no good for you to wait here all night. "His attitude was much more relaxed than before. A representative relayed his words aloud to his classmates.

"No, no!" There was another commotion, and the whole square shook, and then slowly calmed down again.

"Okay, everybody's staying here. Let's fight on the basis of reason, and we won't leave until we achieve our goal! Another delegate said loudly with his hands around his lips.

A handful of people began to clap. Then everyone clapped. Amid applause, the delegates set off again. This time, all eight delegates walked into the Overseer's Office.

Jue Hui also clapped her hands desperately in the crowd. The rain kept falling on his hatless head, wetting his hair. From time to time, he used his hands to protect his eyes, or covered his forehead with his wrists, but his eyes still couldn't see the facial expressions of the classmates next to him. He could see the soldiers' bayonets, and he could see the two large lanterns in front of the Overseer's office. He saw countless black heads moving in the square. He couldn't suppress his anger. He just wanted to scream loudly, he felt like he was about to run out of breath. The incident of beating the students came so suddenly, and although there were rumors that the authorities were going to deal with the students before, no one could have imagined that it would come out of this way. It's despicable! "Why do you want to do this to us? Is patriotism really a crime? Are pure, sincere youth really a scourge to the nation? "He couldn't believe it.

The sound of the gong came from afar, getting closer and closer, and it was time for the second watch!

"Why hasn't there been any news yet? Why haven't the delegates come back yet? The crowd shouted irritably. The rain gradually became heavier, and there was a commotion among the people. Jue Hui began to feel the chill seep through her clothes. He snorted. But he immediately thought, "Am I not going to be able to stand this suffering?" He puffed up his chest with his hands. He saw a few classmates standing there with their shoulders hunched up, their hair wet from the rain hanging down and sticking to their foreheads. But they didn't show to be cowering. One of them was talking to his companion, and he said, "If it doesn't work out, we won't go back." We can also be as brave as the students in Beijing. They went out to give speeches, propaganda, and with their luggage, ready to be arrested and imprisoned. Can't we petition and stand here all night? ”

These words were sent to Juehui's ears very clearly, and he was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He looked at the man carefully, but his eyes were blurred with tears, and he still couldn't see clearly. Although the man said only a few ordinary words, and he could say it himself, but at this time he forgot everything: the bright home, the warm bed, he forgot everything. He felt that if that person asked him to do something, it was to go to the soup and go to the fire, and he would do it.

The third watch rang again, but the deputies had not returned, and there was no news at all. It's getting colder. The crowd began to feel cold and hungry, especially the state of immortality. "Wait, when?" Someone is already asking.

There were a number of soldiers standing in front of them, their bayonets glowing in the darkness, as if to warn the students.

"Let's go back and discuss something else tomorrow." I'm afraid it's useless to wait until dawn to wait here. A few of the weaker students inside started talking, but no one paid any attention to them. Look at this situation, everyone will have to wait until dawn.

After some more embarrassing waiting, Juehui heard someone in front of her say, "The representative is back." Then the whole square immediately became very quiet.

"Students, now Section Chief Zhao is here to speak to us," a representative's voice sounded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the governor has already returned to the house, so my brother came out to see me, I have waited for a long time, and my brother is very sorry." An unfamiliar, loud voice began to say: "I have already talked to the delegates, and the conditions put forward by the students have been accepted, and I will definitely convey them to the governor tomorrow." The governor has its own solution, which will surely satisfy all students. Please rest assured. Tomorrow the Overseer will send someone to comfort the injured classmates. It's not too early, so please go back, lest you freeze your body. You must know that the Governor has always loved your classmates. You'd better go back as soon as possible. If you stand here for a long time, you will inevitably have no accidents......" At this point, the voice stopped, and all kinds of discussions immediately began in the crowd.

"What is he talking about? What does that mean? A classmate asked Juehui.

"He said, 'The governor has his own way,' and advised us to go back. He doesn't speak responsibly at all, what a slippery head! Jue Hui scolded angrily.

"I think I'd better go back, it's useless to stand here. It's better to go back and discuss how to deal with it. This person's last sentence is very interesting," said another classmate.

At this time, a representative spoke in front again: "Students, did you hear Section Chief Zhao's words? He accepted our terms, saying that the Overseers would have a solution that would satisfy us. Now that I finally have some results, I think I can go back. ”

"Where's the result?" A few people secretly scolded angrily. But most of the people shouted in unison: "Let's go back and find a way, go back!" "It's not because people believe the section chief's words, it's just because they understand that even standing here overnight won't do any good. Besides, the weather is so cold and raining, no one wants to stand here and wait, wasting energy in vain. Everyone was thinking, "Go back and think of a way to deal with it tomorrow." ”

"Okay, let's go back. Something else will come tomorrow! Many people responded in this way.

So more than 200 students began to leave the square.

Heavy raindrops fell violently and mercilessly on the heads and bodies of the students, as if to leave an impression on them that they will never forget.
