Erquan Yingyue (short story) Zhang Baotong

When he slept at night, he held the woman in his arms and stroked and felt it repeatedly. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info how to touch and think, I feel that it is different from Ah Hong in his heart. However, she is a woman who has fled, and she is in her forties, how can she compare with Ah Hong? Besides, it's Ah Hong, I haven't seen her in the past 20 years, and she is in her early forties. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, let go of the woman, and fell asleep.

The woman was very considerate to him and was afraid that he would be blind and inconvenient to travel, so every time Ah Bing went out, the woman led him. With the care of a woman, Ah Bing also felt as if he had changed as a person, his clothes were neat, his body was much better, and his expression and spirit were much fuller. He heard from the women and the outside that many Japanese people had invaded the land and burned and raped and plundered the brutal crimes, and he was so angry that he compiled the crimes of the Japanese invaders into news and sang lyrics, and while pulling the erhu, he was led by the women to sing everywhere in the streets and alleys of Wuxi.

On this day, Ah Bing sang and promoted on Qingning Street again, surrounded by people listening to the singing. Every time he finished singing, everyone cheered for him. This made Ah Bing feel excited and excited, and when all the programs were finished, he still felt that he couldn't enjoy himself, so he made up a song and sang: "The Oriental devils are heinous in their crimes, killing thousands of my compatriots, yesterday the Northeast was fallen, and today Nanjing was captured, the compatriots quickly took up arms to resist the war, and killed the Oriental devils." ”

As he was talking, someone on the street ran over in horror shouting, saying, "The Oriental devil is coming, run!" Hearing someone shout this, the onlookers immediately became confused and began to flee in all directions. The originally lively and exciting scene instantly ran into an open space. The woman pulled Ah Bing's sleeve in a panic and said, "Ah Bing, the Japanese are here, let's run quickly, let them catch it, they are going to cut off their heads." Ah Bing said with a calm smile, "Don't be afraid, the more people they kill, the sooner their end will come." So saying, he followed the woman unhurriedly towards his house.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I saw a small group of Japanese soldiers riding motorcycles coming down the street from the opposite side. The woman hurriedly pulled Ah Bing to hide in the alley next to her, but it was too late, only to hear a Japanese officer yelling at them, and the motorcycle drove towards them. Ah Bing stood at the entrance of the alley and waited for the Japanese to arrive, facing the Japanese and making a look of righteousness and death.

The Japanese said a few words to him, and he smiled and said, "I don't understand what kind of bird you are saying." A translator came over to the Japanese and said, "Taijun, this man is a blind man named Ah Bing, who can play any tune, and there is no one in Wuxi who does not know him." The Japanese officer smiled, "Then let him play a tune for the Imperial Army, and comfort the Imperial Army." ”

The interpreter said to Ah Bing, "It is your honor to be able to play for the imperial army." If you play well, the imperial army has taste, and if you don't play well, the imperial army kills the head. Do you understand? Ah Bing said, "I understand." Then he stood still and played a piece of music that was very fast-paced. The Japanese didn't seem to understand, so they asked what kind of song it was. Ah Bing said that this song is called "Listening to Song". The Japanese still don't understand. Ah Bing said to the Japanese officers, "We have a listening stone in Wuxi, and listening to Song is actually listening to Song, that is to say, listening to Yue Fei's resistance to Jin." ”

As soon as the translator heard this, he glared fiercely at Ah Bing and said, "You don't want to die?" Ah Bing said, "I am a blind man, my life is not precious, you want it, do as you please." But I don't know what the translator said to the Japanese officer, but the Japanese officer laughed, patted Ah Bing on the shoulder, and said a few words that people couldn't understand, so he waved his hand and let the other Japanese soldiers get on the motorcycle and drive towards the street.

After the Japanese occupied the town of Qingning, they set up a stronghold next to the wharf of Qingning Town and built a gun tower. From then on, everyone who entered and exited from Qingning Town had to show a certificate of good citizenship. In order to apply for a certificate of good citizenship, Ah Bing and the woman went to the pseudo-town office to take pictures. This was the first time in his life that he had been photographed. In the photo, he is wearing a felt hat and a pair of sunglasses, and his slightly wide face looks easy-moving and calm. Next to the photo is written: Hua Yanjun, male, born in 1893, from Wuxi, Jiangsu, making a living as an artist.

The town of Thanh Ninh is the wharf of the Grand Canal, and ships from the north and south pass through here. After the Japanese occupied the town of Chingning, they used the wharf as a port to transport food and military supplies for the Japanese army. Therefore, the dock is guarded by Japanese on all sides, and Chinese entering and leaving the dock are strictly inspected and interrogated. At that time, there was a guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army in the Taihu Lake area of Wuxi, which often entered and exited Qingning Town out of nowhere, attacking Japanese ships and strongholds. In order to clear and blockade the New Fourth Army and the guerrillas, the Japanese army often sent ships and troops into the lake area to carry out large-scale sweeps and encirclements, and strengthened the vigilance around Qingning Town. Therefore, people in Qingning often saw Japanese soldiers executing Chinese at will outside the turret.

After Wuxi was occupied by the Japanese, Ah Bing was still led by women all day long and made a living by selling his art, but he could no longer express his righteous indignation and hatred for the Japanese invaders with angry raps and performances as in the past, because he would be captured and killed by the Japanese. Therefore, he can only express his passion and righteous indignation with musical instruments. He kept using the erhu to pull "Listening to Song" and the "Yixin Song". Hearing that the Japanese army was so rampant and arrogant in China, Ah Bing's heart was full of anger and hatred, but he also often wondered: How can a China with a population of 40,000 allow a small Oriental country to be so aggressive and bullied? He thought about it, but he still felt that China was too poor, China was too weak, and China was too scattered, if it was in the prosperous era of the Tang and Han dynasties, which country would dare to ignore China! Thinking like this, the "Song of the Heart" became deeper and longer, and I was worried. But when he heard the news of the victory of the New Fourth Army guerrillas against the Japanese army, he would pull the "Song of the Heart" into an exciting and thrilling one.
