In the autumn of 1895, when the leaves of St. Petersburg University in Russia were falling, and the young students were rustling on the yellow leaves with books in their hands, a young Russian was sitting in the middle of a lawn that had become slightly yellow, and he was only heard to say: "The free populists are now trying to erase the class antagonism in the countryside and to call on the government to adopt a mild palliative approach in an attempt to induce the exploited working masses to abandon the struggle. Perpetuating the semi-serfdom, semi-free economic system. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 They abandoned the political programme of the peasant revolution advocated by their forefathers such as Herkin and Denisevsky, compromised with the reactionary aristocracy and the privileged, and began to suppress and humiliate thousands of peasant classes on behalf of the bourgeoisie, who became petty burgher opportunists, while they were unashamed to attack Marx and slander Marx and his doctrine, so we must unite in the struggle against the free populists who betrayed us. ”

The young man's impassioned remarks drew a chorus of praise, and just then a man hurried over and said, "Oh no, no, Volodya, Vasya has been beaten by the police." ”

Hearing this, everyone present stood up, and the young man who had just made the speech asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The person who came to report the news said: "Vasya went to the market outside to buy something, and when he saw that the police were bullying a hawker, he was angry and stopped him, but who knew that the policemen actually started to use their hands with sticks, and Vasya was knocked to the ground, covered in blood. I happened to pass by and ran back to report the news! ”

When the young man heard this, he said, "Let's go, let's go together!" Then he said to the person who had come to report the news: "Vidya, you go and tell Mr. Alexei at once, and let him rush with you, and the police should also take into account the reputation of the professor of Petersburg University." ”

After saying that, the young man rushed to the scene of the incident with others, and saw Vasya lying in a pool of blood, while the policemen were still waving sticks, the young man and the people around him hurriedly rushed over, and the young man grabbed the hand of a policeman who was about to wave a short stick and was about to attack again, and shouted: "What are you going to do?" What reason do you have for hitting a student at Petersburg University? ”

The surrounding policemen were stunned when they heard this, and when they saw five or six young students in front of them who were angrily scolding, they said loudly: "I suspect that he is a member of the Narodnaya Volya, intending to overthrow the great Russian Empire, and plotting to assassinate government officials. ”

After listening to the words of the police chief, the young man angrily rebuked: "You beat up a student in the street without any evidence and just on suspicion, slandering him as a member of the Narodnik, you are ignoring the law!" ”

When the policeman heard this, he smiled and said, "The law? Evidence? Tell you little brat, what Lao Tzu said is evidence, and Lao Tzu's handling is the law! Get out of here, or I'll arrest you all together! Look at you all with fine skin and tender meat, you will feel good when you go in! ”

"This gentleman is really bold, why don't I go to the palace and ask Your Majesty to see if what you say is true?" Just as the policeman's words were finished, a neutral male voice reached his ears, but when he heard that the other party was going to ask His Majesty the Tsar, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Oh, I'm really laughing to death, who is talking so loudly that he wants to see His Majesty?" The surrounding police burst into laughter.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked in and said, "I said it, is there something wrong with this police gentleman?" The policeman looked the man up and down, and saw that he was wearing a white shirt, a delicate pocket watch hanging from the pocket on the chest of the shirt, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the glasses, and the black leather shoes on his feet were also spotless, and he couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" ”

The middle-aged man replied: "Hello, Mr. Policeman, Alexeivich Petrovsky, professor of philosophy at the University of St. Petersburg. When the police leader heard this, he immediately became nervous and hurriedly smiled: "Professor Alexei, I'm sorry, the little one didn't recognize you, may I ask what you have to do here?" ”

Evgeny said lightly: "I came to see my student Vasily. Borisovich. Victor. ”

When the police leader heard this, he immediately asked in surprise: "I don't know which one is Mr. Werther?" "Because the surname Werther is clearly not a traditional Russian surname, and there is only one Werther family in St. Petersburg, or indeed in Russia, and that family is not something that his little police captain can handle. The police chief kept praying in his heart that it wasn't the student they had beaten.

Alexei glanced at the other party, pointed to the unconscious young student lying on the ground, and said: "This is my student, that is, Vasily, who you just identified as a Narodnaya Narodnarum. Borisovich. Werther,"

When the police chief heard this, he immediately panicked and immediately knelt on the ground and prayed: "Professor Alexei, I really don't know that he is Vasily. Borisovich. Mr. Witte, for God's sake, speak for me in front of Count Witte, for I have just lost my mind, I have just been talking nonsense, sir, I beg you......"

Aleksei interrupted the policeman's prayer and said, "You should explain these things to Count Witt face to face!" Then he said to the students behind him: "Volodya, why don't you send Vasya to the hospital soon?" Remember to inform Mr. and Mrs. Witte. ”

When the surrounding students heard the words, they quickly carried Ma Xia who was lying on the ground to the hospital, and then turned around and looked at the police leader who was still kneeling on the ground with disdain and left the place without saying a word. Watching Alexei leave, the surrounding policemen stepped forward to help the already weak police leader, the police leader stood up, took out a cigarette and lit it, and then looked at the surrounding crowd who were laughing at him and said fiercely: "What the fuck are you looking at?" Even if I'm unlucky, I'll let you peel off the skin! Then he said to the policemen around him: "Hear me clearly, if you can't collect the required amount today, don't fucking think about going back!" Suddenly, the otherwise quiet market was filled with the sound of police abuse and the cries of countless people praying for mourning.

Outside the emergency room of the St. Petersburg City Hospital, a middle-aged couple dressed in gorgeous costumes waited anxiously outside the emergency room, while next to the couple stood Professor Volodya and Alexei, who accompanied them to the hospital. The middle-aged man comforted his wife for a while, turned to Professor Alexei and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Professor, if it weren't for your timely appearance, Vasya would probably have left us forever." Then he said to Volodya: "This classmate is also very grateful to you, I don't know what your name is?" ”

Volodya said: "Hello Mr. Witt, my name is Vladimir. Ilyich. Ulyanov, a classmate of Vasya and a good friend of his. ”

The noblewoman, who was still anxious, said after hearing this: "Volodya, I heard Vasya say your name, you are a classmate that Vasya admires very much, thank you this time!" ”

After hearing this, Volodya said: "Thank you Madame for the compliment, Vasya is also a friend of mine whom I respect very much, please rest assured Madame, he will be fine." At this moment, the door of the emergency room opened, and Mr. and Mrs. Werther, Volodya, and Professor Alexei immediately surrounded him, and then the attending doctor said: "Mr. Werther, the patient is fine, except for a little skin trauma, plus he was attacked on the head, and he fainted slightly, and the overall body function is still good, as long as he rests for a few more days." ”

Mr. Witt hurriedly replied, "Thank you, doctor. ”

Seeing this, Professor Alexei said, "Mr. Witt, since Vasya is fine, Volodya and I will go first, and we can go to the house to see Vasya in a few days." ”

Seeing this, Mr. Witt said, "Thank you and Volodya for your help, our Witt family will definitely remember your kindness, let me send you off." ”

Professor Alexei said, "You and your wife still take care of Vasya, and Volodya and I can go by ourselves." ”

Seeing this, Mr. Witte no longer insisted, and said, "My wife and I will come to your house another day to thank you." ”

Professor Alexei greeted slightly, and then left the hospital with Volodya. Walking out of the hospital gates, Professor Alexei said to himself: "This year in Petersburg is colder than usual. ”

Volodya also looked at the sky and said thoughtfully: "Teacher, winter is coming, and spring is not far away!" ”
