In the autumn of 1943, the foggy capital of Chongqing, although the summer has passed, the autumn tiger is still making waves. The sun www.biquge.info still shining hot, the petals rolled up, the leaves drooped, and the whole mountain city was hot and humid, like a furnace.

At dusk, the fiery afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the eaves of the Xihe Grand Theater, and the large wooden billboard at the entrance read, "Based on the novel of the same name by French writer Dude, the three-act soul-shaking drama "The Last Lesson" starring the popular star Feng Tao." At the ticket window next to the billboard, the seven-step stone steps were full of people buying tickets.

In the brightly lit dressing room backstage of the theater, the actors are sitting on the dressing table to receive makeup from the makeup artist. In his twenties, the handsome Feng Tao walked out of his single lounge, he was wearing the black tweed dress of Mr. Hammel, the protagonist of the play, and had just sat down on the dressing table. At this time, the door opened, and the chubby theater manager walked up to Feng Tao with a bouquet of red roses, and said with a smile: "Mr. Feng, a young lady has sent you flowers, obediently, you have received two bouquets of flowers before the play starts." ”

A broom-eyebrow actor next to him glanced at Feng Tao and pouted sourly, "Oh, Mr. Feng just recruits women to like him, and someone will send flowers before and after every performance." ”

Feng Tao was stunned when he took the flower, it turned out that there was an inconspicuous red silk Nantian bamboo flower sandwiched between the red roses, which was an emergency alarm signal agreed upon by him and the organization. At this moment, he tried his best to control his expression, pretending to appreciate the flowers under his nose and sniffing them, then stood up and said to the makeup artist next to him with a smile, "Oh, I'll send the flowers to the lounge first." ”

Feng Tao walked into his room with flowers, and after closing the door, he reached out and touched the flowers, and sure enough, he found a rolled-up note, he spread out the note, and wrote with a pen, "You have been exposed, please transfer the ...... according to the method said on the paper."

Several cars were parked in the open space outside the theater, and in one of the cars, a male spy in a navy blue flannel suit was whispering to several plainclothes agents, "Just before the show started, Miss Bi and Miss Hu pretended to be fans of the theater and called the theater to ask Feng Tao to have supper after the play, and he agreed." When the two ladies trick him into our car, we'll do it. ”

In the theater, a play is being played on the stage. Based on the short story of the same name, the play adds a lot of entanglements between the characters in the first two acts, and is now playing the third act.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a gray beep suit sitting in the middle of the audience whispered to a girl next to him, "The description of the loss of the country in this play can easily arouse the sympathy and psychological resonance of our Chinese." However, the original work is deliberately distorting history. That place in Alsace was originally the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, which included present-day Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and other countries. It was occupied by France after the Chinese New Year's Eve War of 1618-1648 and by Germany after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. It was occupied by France after World War I. But until the Franco-Prussian War, the local population was part of a branch of the Germans, and German was always spoken, and there was no question of the conversion of German to German schools after the war, as Dude said. ”

"I'm not interested in foreign history, I'm only interested in Feng Tao's plays." The fashionable girl with long wavy hair and a yellow taffeta dress on a blue background looked impatient, holding a small folding fan sprinkled with perfume.

On stage, Feng Tao, who was wearing a white wig and a fake beard on his upper lip and chin, stood in front of the blackboard, and under the light of several stage spotlights overhead, he said to the actors sitting opposite the students, "My children, today is the last time I will give you French lessons." Remember, this is my last lesson for you. Speaking of which, he suddenly realized that he was not performing for the last time. The densely packed auditorium under the stage was mixed with Kuomintang plainclothes agents, and the theater was surrounded by spies. In another thirty minutes, he will face an unpredictable gamble in life.

At this time, he tried his best to restrain his inner tension, faced the audience, and continued to act. "Kids, tomorrow, I'm going to have to get out of here. As a teacher who has worked here for 40 years, I really don't want to leave! However, the enemy who occupied this place did not allow me to continue teaching you French. The thought that I will leave you forever makes me so sad and grieved! ”

When he was here, Feng Tao couldn't tell whether he was acting or fake at the moment, tears came out of his eyes, and under the illumination of the stage lamp, they were like two strings of crystal broken pearls, which were particularly conspicuous. The audience didn't know Feng Tao's true state of mind, and thought that Feng Tao's acting skills were superb and skillful, so they applauded warmly.

Feng Tao suddenly thought that it was not appropriate to expose his true feelings in front of the spies who were eyeing him at this moment, so he quickly took out his handkerchief to wipe his tears, and continued to act casually, "Children, since today is your last lesson. I'm going to do my best to teach you this last lesson, and I hope you can learn that last lesson seriously. Can it be done? The children. ”

The actors replied in unison, "Mr. Hummel, we must learn the last lesson." "The broom-eyebrow actor who pretended to be a student noticed that most of the young female soldiers in the front row of the audience were **** young female soldiers wearing yellow Ka Jie cloth uniforms, their green eyes had been staring at Feng Tao, and there were many green eyes flashing in the back, so he couldn't help but mutter." , why aren't the chicks in the audience obsessed with me? ”

This was heard by the people on the stage, and the audience also heard it, and it turned out that there was a microphone in front of him, and his voice was amplified by the microphone and immediately echoed in the theater. The people on the stage pursed their lips and didn't dare to laugh. The audience laughed happily, and the female soldiers leaned forward and backwards. One of the female soldiers sneered, "Boy, you're so handsome!" ”

There were a few young men in the theater who liked to play pranks, probably not satisfied with the green eyes of the audience, who only circled around Feng Tao alone, and wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Feng Tao, so they deliberately "vomited" and coaxed. Some even deliberately whistle.

The green-eyed men in the front row glanced back angrily at the heckling guys, but still that didn't stop the gagging and whistling.

On the east side of the stage, the big-mouthed director standing behind the curtain was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and shouted in annoyance to the equally anxious little nose stage manager next to him: "This bastard is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, this is ruining all of our jobs!" Just tell him to get out of here tomorrow! ”

Feng Tao secretly complained at this time, he wanted to hurry up to the end of the performance and get out of the place of right and wrong, but he didn't expect that at this time, a roadblock dog and a few coaxing flies popped out. Looking at the thousands of pairs of green, black, and other colored eyes in the audience, he tried his best to control the tension in his heart, and quietly glared at the broom eyebrows with a wicked smile on his face at this time, "Phew! You want to make a fool of me, but I won't let you succeed today. ”

"Quiet, please be quiet." Feng Tao waved his hand calmly, walked over to the microphone, and said loudly, "Children, please listen to me, children, please listen to me now." ”

Feng Tao's words, the audience suddenly fell silent. At this moment, the whole audience - the audience, the actors on stage, the director behind the scenes and others all stared at Feng Tao with wide eyes, seeing how he saved the scene now.

Feng Tao put his hands behind his back, puffed up his chest, cocked his mouth, and looked condescendingly at the thin broom brow sitting in front of him. "My little Philip, my dear child, it has been said that you are not attracted to girls because you are not handsome enough. I don't think so. I think that you are not attractive to girls because you lack three treasures, namely, profound knowledge, dexterous hands, and a loving heart. The absence of these three things makes you ignorant, foolish, selfish, rude, and clumsy. In this way, what girl will still like you? Answer me, dear little Philip, is what I just said right or not? ”

Broombrow was extremely embarrassed, and at this moment he could only follow Feng Tao's words stupidly, "Mr. Hammer, you are right. ”

At this time, Feng Tao noticed that the **** female soldiers in the front row of the audience nodded approvingly with green eyes, and couldn't help but be a little proud. "My children, you come to school with me to lay a solid foundation for your future growth. Unfortunately, since today is your last French lesson, I certainly don't have time to hand over to you all three of the treasures I just mentioned. But before I leave, I would like to say a word of advice to you, that you must have great knowledge, dexterous hands, and a loving heart. With these three things, you will always be invincible on the road of life in the future. Say, "Am I right, children?" ”

The actors suddenly shouted together, "Mr. Hummel, you are right! ”

The audience immediately burst into warm applause, and the director and stage manager who were hiding behind the scenes also nodded happily at this time. A few coaxing young men just now slapped their hands and exclaimed, "The surname Feng is really a big star!" ”

A spy in a gray jacket walked out of the theater, he walked to the car and whispered to the spy in a navy blue suit, "It's almost over, the one surnamed Feng has played the old French teacher to the end, and the audience has been applauding constantly, and we have to applaud along." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the bell rang in the theater.

Backstage in the theater, the actors are removing their makeup. The manager and two young female spies wearing white Xia Bu cheongsams walked in, and he pointed to the door of the room with house number 5, "Feng Tao has already removed his makeup and is changing clothes in his single lounge." ”

The two of them walked to the door and knocked on the door, "Hey, Mr. Feng, we are your theater fans, and we are inviting Mr. Feng for supper." ”

didn't respond even after knocking a few times, and the two hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, Mr. Feng seems to have an accident, someone's coming, open the door quickly." ”

Several plainclothes male spies rushed in and stomped open the door vigorously, only to see that the windows in the house were wide open, and the costumes were thrown on the ground, and there was no one left.

On the morning of the third day, the foggy capital of Chongqing became foggy, white and vast, and the scenery dozens of meters away became hazy, and the high-rise buildings and bungalows were engulfed in thick fog. On the quiet street, several newspaper sellers carried the newly published newspaper and shouted while running on more than 100 steps, "Look at the newspaper, read the newspaper, please see the mysterious disappearance of the big star Feng Tao, and the last lesson has become the last swan song." ”

Several pedestrians heard the shouting and paid for the newspaper one after another, only to see a large eye-catching headline printed on the front page "Generation Star Feng Tao Mysteriously Disappeared, the Last Lesson Turned Out to Be the Last Swan Song", which read, "This newspaper news, the popular star Mr. Feng Tao suddenly disappeared mysteriously after performing the drama "The Last Lesson" adapted from the French novel of the same name, and his whereabouts are still unknown. According to the reporter's understanding from various sources, the facts of the case are basically that at 5 p.m. the day before yesterday, Feng Tao came to the Xihe Grand Theater to prepare for the evening performance, and the performance began at 7 o'clock and ended at 9 o'clock, during which Feng did not see anything abnormal. After the curtain call, Feng went backstage to remove his makeup, screwed into the single lounge and closed the door. Subsequently, before the performance, two female theater fans who called Feng to have supper after the show went backstage to look for Feng, but found that Feng was nowhere to be found. After receiving the report from the theater, the police station immediately sent police officers to Feng Tao's apartment, but no trace was found. The police successively questioned Feng Tao's many friends and fans, and all of them said that they had not seen him. It is reported that from the time Feng entered the theater to the time he disappeared, except for the same people and the theater staff, he had no contact with outsiders. Before the performance, three female opera fans presented flowers to Feng, which were also transferred by the theater staff. As of press time, Feng Tao's whereabouts are still unknown. The play that Feng Jun performed on stage before his disappearance was the drama "The Last Lesson", which turned out to be a prophecy, could it be that "The Last Lesson" became the last swan song of a generation of star Feng Taojun? ”

In one of the offices of the Kuomintang secret service, a guy with a hooked nose and a gray Pelis tunics was banging on the table and reprimanding several plainclothes agents standing in front of him. "Bastard, bastard! You actually let Feng Tao, who is seriously suspected of colluding with the Communist Party, slip out from under our noses, what a bunch of fools! ”

After scolding, he sat down in the swivel chair and raised his right hand to gently pat his forehead, trying to clear his chaotic mind as much as possible. Feng Tao escaped, someone must have reported the news, so who could it be? He remembered that after discovering the suspicion of the CCP surnamed Feng, he immediately went to Boss Dai's villa (Dai Li) to ask for instructions. The afternoon before yesterday, when he walked into the living room of the villa, General Chen Moshan, senior staff member Lin Xi, old man's (******) chamberlain Gao Shen Cheng Guizhang, commander of the 73rd Army, and Tang Jinshan, deputy commander of the 74th Army, were guests in the villa. But when he and Dai Lia were talking in the next room, they weren't there. So who could it be? Is it the guy in charge of surveillance? Was it the female subordinate who called the night before? Or is it some guy on a mission to arrest? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, if he really caught the Communists among his subordinates, then he would be charged with serious dereliction of duty. Now, only by catching Feng Tao can he have a way out.

Thinking of this, Eagle Hook Nose glared at his subordinates, and then said, "If Feng Tao escapes, he will definitely go north to Yan'an." I have already notified all the checkpoints from Chongqing to northern Shaanxi in the name of Boss Dai, and once Feng Tao is found, he must be arrested. You must also search carefully around Chongqing, and you must not let him run away. Oh, and the police are involved in the case, and they're investigating it as a criminal case. I have already greeted them, saying that we suspect that Feng Tao's disappearance was done by traitors, and if you find Feng Tao's whereabouts, please let us know. ”

On a mountain road in the eastern suburbs of Chongqing, an American jeep with a green canvas canopy is speeding through the pale white fog, and when it reaches an intersection in front of it, the driver in a green cloth jacket brakes to stop, which is the intersection of a stepped path about one meter wide that winds down the mountain and the main road below.

After a while, a man and a woman slowly walked down the stone paved mountain path, the man was wearing a gray Palis suit, black cowhide shoes, a gray top hat, and a black suitcase in his right hand, he was Feng Tao. He also wore a mustache on his upper lip and chin. The woman wore two pigtails, a slender figure, wearing a white summer cloth cheongsam and black high-heeled leather shoes, holding Feng Tao's left hand. Neither of them spoke, just walked with their heads down.

It turned out that the Kuomintang secret service had arrested several suspected Communist Party criminals in the past, but because of insufficient evidence, they were all released. The men were then secretly transferred, and one of them, Wei Yi, was transferred to an Eighth Route Army military academy in Yan'an. It is said that during the Anti-Japanese War, there was a shortage of soldiers, and the disappearance of a person would not arouse suspicion. But a few days ago, Yan'an engaged in censorship of cadres. Because Wei Yi was caught and released by secret agents, the censors suspected him of being a traitor and locked him up. Later, when ****** learned of this, he wrote a letter to the military academy, saying that he was released because he was rescued by the Chongqing underground party, and he was relieved. After learning of this, Ying Hooknose checked the relevant files and found that the guarantor of Bail Weiyi and others was a major general of the General Staff Headquarters. Then he secretly talked to this major general, and learned that Feng Tao asked him, a drama fan, to be a guarantee. Ying Hooknose suspected that there was a Communist Party behind Feng Tao. Since Feng Tao is not a public official, once he comes into contact head-on, he may alarm the Communist Party behind him. To be on the safe side, hook nose asks Dai Li. Dai Li's analysis that even if Feng Tao is not a communist, then it must be the communist party who asks him for help. If you follow the vine, you can know how the Communist Party actually sent embargoed materials and even big people from Chongqing to Yan'an. In order not to alarm the communists behind Feng Tao, Dai Li asked the hooked nose to secretly arrest him. Despite the careful arrangement of the spies, Feng Tao still escaped safely that night under the internal connection. Now, he has been exposed in the white zone and has to be transferred.

At this moment, Feng Tao and the girl held hands and walked down the mountain. The side of the trail is covered with verdant and lush weeds and shrubs such as barnyard grass, artemisia grass, Xanthus, dogtail grass, cow tendon grass, pig calamity, ground lily grass, etc., and there are patches of wildflowers in the weeds, these wildflowers are large except for wild chrysanthemums, wild moon seasons, morning glories and other large flower types, the rest are very small, some are only the size of broad beans, some are only the size of peas, and even the size of mung beans. These white, yellow, and purple wildflowers bloom sporadically among the weeds, surrounded by greenery. It's autumn, and the blades of grass and petals are covered with surprised dewdrops. Far from the trail, tall banyan trees, cedar trees, cypresses, pine trees, and moso bamboos are planted, and these trees and bamboos have become dense forests, covering the entire mountain.

"Look, Nantianzhu." Feng Tao raised his hand and pointed at it, and the girl raised her eyes to see that in a bush a little farther away from the trail grew a small green shrub about one meter high, with oval and needle-shaped leaves, some of the leaves were pale red, and the dark red branches were full of small pale red spherical fruits. Compared to the surrounding green bushes, this shrub is unique for its red fruits, red branches, and some of its leaves.

After the girl saw Nan Tianzhu, she didn't speak, but smiled at Feng Tao, and continued to take his arm and walk down the mountain, and the quiet path continued to echo with the crisp sound of the two people's leather shoes stepping on the stone steps, click, click. When she was three or four meters away from the intersection, the girl stopped. Feng Tao walked to the car with his suitcase, raised his left hand and looked at the driver, "Sir, can you take me to Wanxian?" ”

The driver raised his right hand and smiled slightly, "No, my car only goes to Jiangjin." ”

The code was matched, Feng Tao handed the suitcase to the driver, then turned around and walked to the girl, "Send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell." Okay, don't give it away, let's say goodbye. Oh, thank you for sending me flowers that day and calling me the police. ”

The girl looked at Feng Tao affectionately, threw herself into his arms at once, put her arms around him, and sobbed softly. Feng Tao smiled, "You, don't be so sad. We are now separated temporarily, not separately. Don't worry, at least one year, at most three years and five years, we will still get together. ”

The girl slowly raised her head, took out a yellow handkerchief from her handbag and stuffed it into Feng Tao's pocket, and then hugged him again. At the moment, the valley was very quiet, except for the chirping of birds in the forest and the rushing of water in the mountain streams.

The car drove away, and the girl watched the car disappear into the white fog before turning around and walking melancholy up the hill. As she walked, she suddenly heard two gunshots behind her, and she shuddered, and her handbag slipped out of her wrist and fell onto the wet staircase......

More than half a month later, Eagle Hooknose sat in his office and looked at a newspaper on his desk with the headline "Feng Tao may have died of love killing" and was frowning. The newspaper said that Feng Tao was very infatuated with beautiful women, causing vendetta from jealous men. The newspaper also distributed five photos, all of which were photos of Feng Tao and one or several women, and the women standing next to Feng Tao were holding Feng Tao's arms with both hands.

As a professional spy, although he has always been dismissive of the scandals and hype of these third-rate tabloids, at this moment, he strongly hopes that Feng Tao, who is suspected of colluding with the Communist Party, will really die of love murder as the tabloids said.

At this time, the spy in the navy blue suit walked in, handed Eagle Hooknose a document, and said, "According to the police report, they found Feng Tao's body in the eastern suburbs, and this is the autopsy report." They believe that this murder case has no political background, and that some gang leader or local warlord with a background could not tolerate his aunt's infatuation with Feng Tao and killed him. This guy has so much honey, and it's almost all pretty. Oh, Feng Tao's movie fans, referred to as Feng fans, homophony becomes honey. The police department was worried that continuing the investigation would lead to a burn, so they could not prepare for it. Feng Tao's death is not announced to the public, and if he encounters reporters or Feng Tao's fans, he vaguely says that he is solving the case. ”

Eagle Hooknose was silent for a while after reading the report, and said slowly, "It's actually a good thing that Feng Tao is dead. If he is really a communist and we catch him, then the communist party will inevitably track down the leak channel, and then our lurking people in Yan'an will also be dangerous. At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Now that he died in love, everyone is safe." ”

In the starry night sky of Yan'an, a young telegraph operator in a gray cloth military uniform, wearing headphones, sits at a small square table with a military radio station in front of a small square table with a flashing signal light on a German-made radio. As his fingers pressed the buttons, a set of radio waves composed of many different Arabic numeral codes flew into the night sky -- "Jiangnan Military Region: Kuomintang police recently discovered a headless male corpse in the eastern suburbs of Chongqing, and the police station determined that the deceased was Feng Tao based on the physical characteristics of the corpse and its belongings. Please let me know if Feng has come to you. ”

A few days later, at dusk, in a thatched hut in the water town south of the Yangtze River, Luo Zhengping, political commissar of the Jiangnan Military Region of the New Fourth Army, wearing a gray cloth military uniform and a blue sky and white sun cockade, was lying on a rough miscellaneous wooden square table, holding an oil lamp, holding a little wolf brush and drafting a telegram, "Feng Tao has arrived at our place at noon today, I just met him, he is all right, please rest assured." ”

Writing this, he looked up at the fiery glow and the fiery maple forest outside the window, and couldn't help but spit out, hey, what can those guys who can only memorize Marxist-Leninist textbooks do? didn't find out the real latent agent tuna, but exposed an excellent underground worker! He then wrote, "It is reported that the secret service has dismissed the case due to insufficient evidence and my death. Even so, Feng could not return to the White Zone. In view of the fact that the leadership of the military academy read out Vice Chairman Zhou's letter at the all-school meeting of teachers and students, please tell the military academy again that it is necessary to be cautious and prudent in the inventory of newly discovered tuna. Don't let everyone pass again. ”

After a few more days, Luo Zhengping saw a Kuomintang newspaper that reported on Feng Tao's disappearance.

In an interview with some reporters today, Officer Cao, who is in charge of investigating the case, said that according to the clues obtained by the police, it was preliminarily determined that Feng Tao had been killed. Although Feng Tao's body has not yet been found, it can be believed that it was a love killing. Because Feng is quite obsessed with and favored by young women, some women claim that they do not love or marry Feng, which will inevitably cause many men to have strong jealousy and hatred for Feng. According to several of Feng's friends, they had witnessed Feng receive anonymous letters claiming that Feng would be unlucky if he seduced a woman from a good family again. At that time, Feng ignored it and threw away the letter, but fortunately it was picked up by a friend. Based on the threatening letter provided by the person, the police determined that Feng had been killed. As for the letter writer, the police identified him as a man with a low level of education, and there were no other clues. In view of the fact that there are many rivals in love with Jealous Feng, it is extremely difficult to identify the exact perpetrators at present, but the police will still do their best to investigate and deal with them.

In response to the rumor that the police had found Feng Tao's body, Officer Cao said that the police did find a headless male corpse suspected of Feng, but because the male corpse had been decomposed when it was found, and no head was found, it was not yet conclusively confirmed to be Feng Tao......

The newspaper also published a photo with a text message full of typos, "Feng Tao, Lao Zijing tells you that you are seducing Liang Jia and the negative girl on the pole, and you will come to Yang every morning." ”……

In 1945, tuna was caught in Yan'an. In March 1946, a Kuomintang military plane crashed, and the Dai Li, Eagle Hook Nose and others on the plane were killed. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the contradiction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party rose to become the main contradiction in China. In June 1946, the Kuomintang army attacked the liberated areas, and the civil war broke out.
