Chapter Seventy-Three: Breaking the Four Olds

Chen Zikun, the weight of this name in the hearts of 30 million people in Jiangdong, is unimaginable for these young students, 40 years, Chen Zikun and Jiangdong weal and woe, weal and woe, from the expulsion of Sun Doujun, to change the flag to lead the army to the Northern Expedition, to the arduous resistance against the enemy behind the guerrilla, and then to the resolute uprising, defection to the light, every choice he made will lead Jiangdong people to the light, everything he does, are deep in the memory of Jiangdong people, for many elderly people, Chen Zikun is the king of Jiangdong, is God!

Now, God is being cast out of the altar.

This group of Red Guards came from the Jiangdong University's "Fighting Lang and Hitting Water" combat team, and it was a very effective Red Guard organization, and they participated in yesterday's feat of besieging the provincial party committee, and today they are pursuing the victory to completely defeat Chen Zikun, the largest and most reactionary warlord leader in Jiangdong.

The Red Guards had already collected information in advance and knew where Chen Zikun's family lived, and today they gathered the main force and slaughtered No. 17 Benhubu Street, and there were some good things along the way that the masses joined, which made the team even more majestic.

Coming to the door of Chen's house, the narrow alley was crowded with people, two Red Guards stepped forward and slammed the door with their fists, the door opened, and a half-aged who was very well maintained and couldn't see the specific age stood in the door and said, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Looking for Chen Zikun." The Red Guards rudely pushed open the door, rushed in, and stood in the courtyard with their waists crossed and shouted: "Reactionary warlord Chen Zikun, come out and apologize to the people!" ”

The half-old caught up and said, "He's not here, you can come back another day." ”

The leading Red Guard commander waved the red treasure book and said: "This cunning old fox is hiding, young generals, find him out!" ”

The Red Guards immediately rushed into the house, rummaging around, turning out all the contents of the desks, wardrobes, and chests of drawers and throwing them on the ground, tearing off the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and the experienced soldiers also banging on the walls and floors in an attempt to find the secret channel safe.

Today, the ** at home is not there, only Jianbing is at home, in the face of the vicious young generals, she is helpless, it just so happened that Liu Ting and Lin Wenjing came back, seeing this chaos, Liu Ting shouted: "Stop!" ”

The Red Guards suddenly stopped their movements and looked at Liu Ting viciously.

"Who are you?"

"I should ask you, who are you? Why did you break into my house? Liu Ting asked.

"I know you, your name is Liu Ting, and you are Chen Zikun's secretary and mistress!" A female Red Guard jumped out, pointed at Liu Ting's nose and said, "You have had an affair with Chen Zikun for many years, and the people of the whole province know about your ugly affairs!" ”

Liu Ting trembled with anger and couldn't speak.

Lin Wenjing said: "Don't spray people with blood, they are legal husband and wife." ”

The Red Guards laughed: "Legal couple? May I ask how a legal husband and wife have four or five wives, isn't this the feudal remnants of three wives and four concubines, the poor in the old society can't afford to marry wives, but the rich occupy a large group of wives and live a shameless life, it's ridiculous that you still don't shame to say what legal couples are, it's really ridiculous. ”

The female Red Guard said: "On behalf of the people, I declare that you have been liberated from the illegal marriage of you poor worms and the reactionary warlord landlord bully Chen Zikun!" ”

The Red Guards applauded together, but Lin Wenjing and the others did not speak.

A few Red Guards came out of the house, all holding things in their hands: "Look at the loot we found!" ”

The Nine Lions Saber issued by the War Department during Chen Zikun's reign as a Beiyang general was gilded and inlaid with jade, which was extremely luxurious, as well as the seal of the Jiangbei Protector Army, and various colorful medals and ribbons, including the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal awarded by Chiang Kai-shek.

"Chen Zikun tried in vain to restore and deliberately kept these things, comrades, the evidence is ironclad." Commander Red shook his hands excitedly, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Down with Chen Zikun!" ”

"Down with Chan Tzu-kun!" The Red Guards shouted together, and the swallows under the eaves flew out with a whoosh.

A large number of trophies were also found, such as woolen materials, satin fabrics, cheongsam, suits, top hats, mink fur, high heels, as well as Chen Zikun's military uniforms, armed belts, riding boots from various periods, as well as the ladies' vanity boxes, jewelry boxes, brand-name handbags, shawls, scarves, gloves and other items, which are both collectible and commemorative.

"These broken copper and iron, which smell of bourgeois decay, are simply disgusting! Comrades, I propose to burn all this filth on fire! The Red Commander's suggestion was unanimously echoed, and a Red Guard poured gasoline on one of Chen Zikun's military uniforms, struck a match and lit it, and the flames rose into the air.

"Good burn!" Commander Red took the lead in applauding, and the crowd of onlookers outside also applauded, and Zheng Jiefu and Ma Jingsheng were also infected by the revolutionary fighting spirit of their comrades-in-arms and couldn't help but applaud.

"Stop!" Lin Wenjing broke free and grabbed her hand, rushed up to rescue something from the fire, but was tripped by a Red Guard's outstretched leg, fell to the ground with blood on her face, and stretched out her hand in pain: "Don't burn." ”

The Red Guards stepped on her hand and shouted, "Burn, what else, burn it all!" ”

A large number of books were torn off the shelves and thrown into the fire, including letters between Chen Zikun and Wu Peifu, and love letters to Lin Wenjing.

While it was burning, a man rushed in from the outside, grabbed a large broom in the corner of the wall and tried to extinguish the flames, but the Redguards immediately stopped him, and the man actually waved the broom and knocked the two Redguards to the ground.

"Dare to attack the revolutionary general, and resolutely defeat her!" Commander Red gave an order, and the young generals pounced one after another, but they were repelled one by one.

It is Xia Xiaoqing who bravely fights the Red Guards, although she is nearly seventy years old, but in the end, she was born in martial arts, and her kung fu has not fallen.

A female Red Guard carried a wooden stick and hid it behind her, kept peeking to observe the situation, took advantage of Xia Xiaoqing to knock down the two of them to breathe, and suddenly swung the stick to the back of her head, Xia Xiaoqing noticed the wind, and on the side of her body, the stick was smashed down against her head, right in the shoulder, after all, she was old, her bones were crispy, and her actions were quite neat, but she didn't resist.

Xia Xiaoqing slowly fell, and the Red Guards swarmed up, picked up their fists and belts, and rained down.

"Bang" A gunshot rang out, and Chen Yan stood at the door of the house with a smoking double-barreled shotgun.

The Red Guards stopped stupidly and looked at Chen Yan coldly.

"What's the matter, do you still want to take revenge on the young revolutionary?" The young Red Commander walked up to Chen Yan and faced the muzzle of the gun without any orange.

Chen Yan put the shotgun against his chest and said, "Get out of here with your people, or I'll kill you with one shot!" ”

Commander Hong smiled contemptuously: "You underestimate our fighting water combat team too much, I tell you, we are not afraid of death!" If you have the ability, you will shoot. ”

Chen Yan calmly wrenched the hammer.

Commander Hong's face changed slightly, and he said: "Don't dare to shoot, tell you, today is the end for the time being, we will come back another day, comrades, withdraw!" ”

With an order, the Red Guards quickly withdrew, and Lin Wenjing and Liu Tingjian Bing helped Xia Xiaoqing up to check his injuries.

"I'm fine." The corners of Xia Xiaoqing's mouth were bleeding, and her breath was very weak.

"Get to the hospital." Chen Yan put down the gun.

……

When Chen Zikun returned home, there was only a pile of ashes and wreckage left in the yard, and all the belongings of half a century were in vain, first the industry, then the house, and finally the softness of the carry-on goods, after these things were burned, there was not much left of the Chen family.

Xia Xiaoqing's injury is not serious, it is not that the young generals have a clear conscience and can't bear to attack the old woman, but that Chen Yan's shot was too timely.

Chen Yan's prestige in the hospital is very high, and the young doctors are basically her students, so Xia Xiaoqing is very well taken care of, and the Red Guards only care about attacking the party committee and government school organs, and don't care about building a hospital, so it is safe to live here.

Chen Zikun sat in front of the hospital bed, took Xia Xiaoqing's hand and reproached: "Woman, you should still be young." ”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "Old arms and legs, I can't move, if it weren't for Yan'er at home, I'm afraid my old bones would be planted today." ”

Chen Zikun sighed: "I'm afraid there will be this kind of thing in the future, and when I do it again, I must put the leader down first, and I can't stop people if I don't do it ruthlessly." ”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "They are still children......"

Chen Zikun was speechless, so he could only comfort Xia Xiaoqing to recuperate from his injuries, and let Jianbing, Liu Ting, and Lin Wenjing take turns to take care of them.

Out of the ward, I met Xu Tingge who went to the toilet with the support of the nurse, Director Xu was seriously injured, with bandages on his head, a plaster cast on his arm, and he was limping when he walked. ”

Chen Zikun took out two cigarettes and lit them, and handed one to Xu Tingge.

Xu Tingge smoked a cigarette, looked into the distance, and was silent for a long time.

"The world has changed." Xu Tingge said.

"The world is always changing." Chan said.

"But this time is different, I can't grasp the pulse of the revolution anymore." Xu Tingge took a deep puff of his cigarette, "The president of the country has been knocked down, he has lost his personal freedom, and many senior cadres of the central government, including the marshal, have been beaten. Do you just allow the students to make trouble? ”

Chen Zikun said indifferently: "It's good to mess up, mess up the enemy, and train the masses." ”

Xu Tingge shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't imagine that even your iron-clad Chen Zikun will recite a few quotations." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Take good care of your injuries, and don't accompany you." "Turn and leave.

Xu Tingge was stunned, he and Chen Zikun have known each other for almost 50 years, and they have been pressed by each other for more than 40 years, and they have only raised their eyebrows in the past two years, but this advantage does not seem to be maintained for too long, and in the face of the earth-shaking Cultural Revolution, everyone is equal again.

When Chen Zikun returned to No. 17 Hubu Street, the courtyard was deserted and in a mess, there was no food in the pot, the house was in a mess, the bedding was torn open, the cotton wool was all over the ground, and the walls were also dug into a few holes.

In the darkness, a cold voice came from outside the door: "Chen Zikun, the Red Guard Alliance of the Municipal Colleges and Universities has informed you that you will go to the city gymnasium at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to accept the criticism of the masses. ”
