One two three

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Ziwen, who was in **, sent someone to send moon cakes to the gate of heaven was just a pretense, and the main purpose was to ask Liu Zimo to truthfully describe the situation around the gate of heaven that he had witnessed through a handwritten letter sandwiched in the moon cake box. When the national ** abandoned the three towns of Wuhan and fled south, Liu Ziwen didn't bother to say hello to Liu Zimo, just said to leave, and ran to ** in one go. The world often changes unexpectedly. The newly established Military Control Commission, in just four months, sent people three times to invite Liu Ziwen back to continue to run the various oil businesses he was good at. There is a world of difference between the various news that Liu Ziwen heard abroad, he doesn't need Liu Zimo to say yes or no, he just hopes that Liu Zimo will tell him the current situation at the gate of heaven in as much detail as possible, and let him make his own judgment, in case there is any alienation in the future, he will not regret it. Liu Ziwen wrote in the letter that if you ask about the affairs of the DPRK and the central government, and ask the countrymen, the hints about the future in such a small place as Tianmen are not as mixed and disorderly and unreasonable as the three towns of Wuhan, but are clear and clear and have rules to follow. It was this letter that made Liu Zimo understand for the first time that the huge amount of fiat currency that Fu Langxi asked Dong Chongli, A Cai and Hang Jiufeng to bring to Wuhan had caused irreparable damage to the only remaining ruling foundation of the people. Some of those fiat currencies were exchanged for gold by Liu Ziwen and brought to **. In the letter, Liu Ziwen indirectly expressed the intention of returning to his hometown, saying that as long as the money was handed over to Fu Langxi and them, the new regime should not make things difficult for itself.

Liu Zimo did not make any suggestions, and there was not a single adjective in the reply, and the whole article was full of running accounts.

Since the strange-looking Lin Dayu replaced Duan Sanguo as the district head, the gate of heaven suddenly became quiet. In a few months, there have been only three riots. The first time was when someone caught the wind and caught the shadows, thinking that the horse harrier appeared in the area of the ghost fish pond. The second time was conclusive, and more than a dozen threatening slogans were posted on Tangpu Street, and the payment was a horse harrier. The third time was related to the horse harrier, and there was a report from the old man that the ghost fish repeated the old trick and hid the horse harrier in the skin oil and smuggled it out of the mountain. The first of the three times was to recognize the wrong person, and the second time was to catch the right person, but it had nothing to do with the horse harrier. A teacher who taught children to read, because his wife insisted on divorce, remarried a northerner who did not continue to the south with the main force of the People's Liberation Army and stayed in the county as a local cadre, the teacher vented his dissatisfaction in the name of Ma Harrier. The third time was even more bizarre, the person hiding in Yu Ghost Fish's skin oil turned out to be a squad leader of the People's Liberation Army, because it involved military secrets, and in the end he didn't find out which unit he belonged to. The squad leader's surname is Qiu, his family is in Shandong, and he is a unique surname in the local area, and he was originally only enough for middle peasants when he was divided, but because of some old grievances, he was colluded by other people with big surnames, and he was classified as a bully landlord. In a fit of rage, the squad leader stole two pistols and prepared to sneak back to his hometown to rescue his father and brother who might have been shot dead by using the raid tactics in military operations. Lin Dayu, who was the head of the district, said to the Qiu squad leader angrily, everyone is afraid of making enemies with others, and your family even has the surname Qiu, this is asking for hardship, just like the gate of heaven, a good place, but some people regard themselves as high and want to be surnamed Xue, as if others are stinky dog feces that can never be cleaned. You don't have to think about it so complicated, hurry up and write a letter back, change this unpleasant surname, there is no, and the whole family is peaceful. When Lin Dayu said this, he looked more majestic than Hang Jiufeng. Later, I heard that Squad Leader Qiu was sentenced to death by a military court.

Another time, the way things happened and ended was chaotic. In previous years, as soon as the beginning of autumn passed, only young people were left who were still on the street for the night. The elderly, children, and women were afraid of the dew in the middle of the night, and as soon as there were many meteors in the sky, they hurriedly hid in the house. This year's weather is abnormal, the rainy season has fallen for half a month, and the scorching heat has come late and receded late. It rained for a few days around the beginning of autumn, and everyone thought that summer was finally over, but the temperature suddenly climbed. During the day, the roosters and hens all spread their wings and lay on the ground, and when someone approached, they would rather make a few noises than get up. At night, the cats and dogs who like to wander around have all become squeamish children, who are shaking the fan in their hands, and drill in front of whomever they want. It was a hot day, and there were no fewer people outside to enjoy the shade, and they slept until the fifth watch, when the sentry standing guard at the entrance of the street suddenly fired several shots in succession, and shouted hoarsely: "Horse harrier! Don't let the harrier run away! Come catch the harriers! "For a while, the streets and the streets were in chaos, and many people had not fully woken up, and they entered the doors of other people's houses in a daze, and when they found that something was wrong, they ran out in terror, so that others thought that someone had found another harrier. Until dawn, dozens of shots were fired back and forth, and only he had seen the horse harrier that the sentry said. Before the sun came out, the sentinel, who was convinced that he was not dozing off, let alone dreaming, found a pool of blood in the direction where he had fired. The magistrate of Yuzi, who had been staying in the soup shop the night before, rushed over and picked up the blood dripping from the leaves with great interest, claiming that he had a way of analyzing whether the person shot by the sentry was a horse harrier. The method of the county magistrate is very simple, take a drop of blood from the son of the horse harrier, put the two drops of blood together, if they can't be fused, everything will be fine, as long as they can melt, the injured person must be the horse harrier. The group came to Jiufeng Building, and led a county and a province to pick up pine mushrooms. When a province is absent, those people regard a town as the son of a harrier. Unexpectedly, he annoyed Hang Jiufeng, who happened to be at home: "When Ma Harrier is crazy, Yizhen is my son!" The harrier has been defeated, and the town is my son! "Everyone doesn't think Hang Jiufeng is vexatious, but they still want to give it a try." You want to catch the harrier the most, who do you not cooperate? Hang Jiufeng immediately scolded: "Egg! I'm just the warden of the prison, and I'm only responsible for putting the harriers you catch on death row. After the stalemate until breakfast, the drop of blood on the leaves dried into a dark red soft skin, and Hang Jiufeng still did not change his words. When the Independent Brigade lost power, he never gave up Yizhen to Ma Harrier as his son, and finally took power in his hands, and in turn asked him to admit that Yizhen was Ma Harrier's son, wouldn't it be too ridiculous. The magistrate eventually accommodated his stubbornness. A harrier, at most, can only make two pistols at the same time, how much trouble can it make if he lives a few more days? Hang Jiufeng immediately patted his chest and said, no one is more familiar with the horse harrier than him, as long as he is given ten soldiers to form an independent brigade, there is no need for others to worry about the pursuit. This kind of request to repeat the old words, the county magistrate smiled and patted his shoulder, even if it was respect for Hang Jiufeng. Hang Jiufeng was annoyed, he hated the contempt hidden in the apparent intimacy of these northerners, and he wanted to jump up and lash out.

There are two things that best illustrate the stability of the situation at the Heavenly Gate, and the unpredictability underneath.

The first thing that happened was that a rich man who was not the richest on the street was taken to the county town and publicly executed, along with three others. The reason is that they do not accept the renminbi issued by the people** who replace the national **, and exchange each silver dollar for 300 yuan according to the regulations, but these people have to use a price ten to twenty times higher for the settlement of transactions. When the four men were shot, many people shouted loudly. For this purpose, the people specially convened a meeting of 10,000 people and posted slogans all over the place. Due to the good momentum, this move brought an immediate effect at the gate of heaven, and Chang Tianliang was the first to take out all the silver dollars in his hand and exchange them for RMB. Chang Tianliang, who single-handedly dismissed Brigade Commander Feng's thousands of elite soldiers, also persuaded others to heed the call. The Xue family was not slow to act on this matter, and also posted a notice in front of the silk cloth shop, welcoming people who came to buy cloth to use the yuan, thus becoming the target of those shops who secretly continued to boycott the yuan. Fortunately, the renminbi luckily did not become a gold yuan bill, and after its comparison with the silver dollar slowly rose, the Xue family also made a small profit.

The second thing is that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the new regime, which has been officially called the people's **, levied autumn grain for the first time. The Xue family continued to take the lead in this matter, not only paying early, but also wanting to pay more. Lin Dayu did not agree after asking the county magistrate, and only took the part they should pay. What is unusual is that those who are still renting the land of the Xue family for various reasons have changed their honest habits, and those who should have paid 200 catties of rent grain are only willing to pay 100 catties, and those who should pay 1,000 catties have no follow-up after paying 3,500 catties. Seeing that the Xue family never sent people to urge them, those people regretted that they simply didn't pay the rent of a grain of rice. In this matter, Dong Chongli played a very important role. Dong Chongli finally had time to concentrate on studying the diary left by the woman named Yu Xiaohua, and whenever there was something related to the Xue family, he would come to Ziyang Pavilion to talk about it. One night, when everyone in the Xue family was asleep, Dong Chongli suddenly knocked on the door with his cousin Yuan, and couldn't wait to warn Xue Ning and the others that they should return the fields rented to the poor, the sooner the better, and the sooner they were, the sooner the better, and the sooner they were, the sooner they were, the sooner they were. Xue Ning still remembers that most of those fields were bought by the poor people at the Xue family, and the price was the highest at that time, and when she turned around and continued to rent to them, the rent she collected was the lowest. Xue Ning did not live up to Dong Chongli's thinking for the Xue family, she said to Liu Zimo: "Don't wait, now count the title deed and lease, after dawn, what should be sent and what should be returned, only the two acres of ration land handed down by the ancestors are left." ”

At the moment of making the decision, Xue Ning not only thought of Grandma Mei, but also felt that she had become Grandma Mei. The difference is that Xue Ling loves to shed tears, and she also wants Liu Zimo to accompany her, and go to the left bank of the West River as she did back then to see the unpredictable white clouds in the sky. In my memory, the Xue family has more than 50 acres of good land alone, and there are still 50 acres of poor sloping sand fields. Except for the ration field handed down by the ancestors of the Xue family, there is no field that was not placed by Grandma Mei after she came to the gate of heaven. That year, in order to appease the former members of the Independent Brigade who were led down from heaven by Dong Chongli to join the Self-Defense Forces, Xue Ling rented a part of the land to them for a period of five years and ten years, and Xue Ling cashed in when the five years expired, so more than 100 acres of land were less than 20 acres. When Xue Ning and Liu Zimo went door to door to return the title deed and lease, few of the people who asked the Xue family to buy their own land for fear of being forcibly occupied by Ma Harrier and their own land dared to accept it readily. Everyone was trembling, wanting to hold it but worrying that it would burn their hands. From childhood to adulthood, Xue Ling has witnessed these years of tossing, and in the end, it is still the ancestral motto that Snow Daddy adheres to is the most correct: no matter when, don't take over the poor people's fields and real estate, the cheaper you get, the more expensive you pay. The people who got the title deed and lease, without exception, put their fingerprints on the receipts that Liu Zimo prepared for them in advance. The text on the receipt is only different in numbers, and the rest is exactly the same, and the header reads: I hereby receive a title deed from Ms. Xue Ning. The next step is the area, the reason for the day, and the amount of money to buy it from today's donee or from his family. Finally, it is written: There are no strings attached to such returns. These sentence patterns were repeatedly discussed by Xue Ning, Liu Zimo and Dong Chongli, and they also listened to the opinions of Duan Sanguo and Chang Tianliang, and they were not determined until they could no longer find any problems.

The reply to Liu Ziwen was very long, and it was written intermittently for many months. The person who delivered the letter for Liu Ziwen did not appear in the expected time, so that Liu Zimo could tear up the written letter again and again and write it again, or add some fresher content in the middle of the existing text.

Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, the messenger finally reappeared. The behavior of the re-emerged messenger changed drastically, and a lot of sonorous words were added to his tone, asking not only to read the letter first, but also to ask Liu Zimo not to think that this was disrespectful to their brothers. Liu Zimo didn't think that the sender would really open the letter, but said that he was used to writing a weather log, and would only record the things that people knew like keeping a running account and provide them to Liu Ziwen. The messenger took this as permission and did not hesitate to open the letter from the Liu brothers. Dong Chongli, who heard about the incident afterwards, said that this was called Yangmou, and at least he asked him in person. In fact, as long as the letter reaches them, you can do whatever you want, find a master copy, and write a letter in your name that speaks for the people. Since they didn't do this, they can only be considered to have some trust and respect for you. This is also the difference between the newly formed people** and the defeated people**. One side pays attention to conspiracy, and the other side is good at conspiracy. The sender finished reading the letter he was going to send, and frankly speaking, Liu Zimo could have written the letter better. Some of the sender's prompts were adopted by Liu Zimo: As of August of this year, the 11th detachment of the national ** left behind in the Dabie Mountains and the more than 3,500 people who had lurked to prepare for special tasks were all annihilated, and there was no longer a formed contingent that obeyed the orders of the national ** in several counties. The sender said that when he first agreed to deliver the letter for Liu Ziwen, although he was not the opposition of the people, at least he was also a neutral, and today, he has progressed to become a loyal supporter of the people.

After the messenger talked about various reasons, Liu Zimo was also touched, and couldn't help but say that he should also leave Tianmen, at least go to the three towns of Wuhan to see the new situation and new situation there.

When the messenger went out with the letter that had been revised many times, there was a genuine excitement in both of them. Liu Zimo has not been able to understand how much this letter played a role in Liu Ziwen's later return to Wuhan from the north. If it were a little later, the county people's repeated invitation to Liu Zimo to serve as a counselor would be written into the letter, and this effect might still be judged. It is also worth writing about Dong Chongli and Duan Sanguo, which are also invitations issued by the county people, after Dong Chongli agreed to be the head of the county art troupe, Duan Sanguo became the deputy county magistrate. As long as people who know these things will say that the position of counselor belongs to Liu Zimo, and the people can no longer find a more suitable person than him. Between Dong Chongli and the head of the art troupe, people can also be used to make the best use of their talents. And making Duan Sanguo the deputy county magistrate of Duan is a stroke of genius, which fully reflects the people's policy of building the country together and being lenient.

One-two-four

Daoguang once issued a ban and sentenced opium smokers to beheading. Lin Zexu went to Humen and confiscated opium ruthlessly. The barbarians moved the gunboats, ceded the land and lost the silver and the emperor's luck. Daoguang lasted for a total of thirty years, and Xianfeng succeeded to the throne for ten years. Xianfeng was originally the fourth son of the emperor, and his brother went hunting, but he sat upright and did not gallop, and told his father to listen: when the spring was infinitely good, the birds and beasts were pregnant in estrus, and the ministers did not dare to make the bow horses, and they wanted to keep the birds and beasts to prolong their lives. Daoguang's father was happy when he heard this, and my son was generous and gentlemanly. It is a pity that Emperor Xianfeng had poor luck, and the Taiping Heavenly Army descended from the sky. Hong Xiuquan, the long-haired leader, is a native of Huaxian County, Guangdong, and uses Christ to spread strange news: Although I am dead, I still exist for seven days, and the thirty-three layers of the heavenly palace are traveling, and the heavenly father wants me to return to the mortal dust and persuade the people to spend their bad luck. It's a pity that the people actually believe that in the small village of Jintian, Guangxi, there are all long-haired troops.

After Liu Ziwen left ** alone and returned to the north, the local newspaper in Wuhan reported the incident with the headline "It's time for spring flowers to bloom again", which originated from Liu Ziwen himself. When he was apprehensive, his front feet had touched the ground, and his hind feet were hesitantly dragging on the train door, he suddenly saw an official of the Military Control Commission, with a group of young girls holding flowers in their hands, shouting warm and neat welcome to him on the platform. He couldn't help but blurt out something like this. Liu Ziwen's return was immediately reacted to in the West River, and the Yan Gong, who had been idle for half a year, began to be very busy, and the backlog of skin oil made Yu Ghost Fish and them have to risk running aground, and every time they go to the water, they have to put two more skin oil on the Yan.

A few months later, Liu Ziwen showed both regret and hesitation in a letter to Liu Zimo. The cause was a corruption case in a department store, and Liu Ziwen didn't care whether the people involved were guilty or not. What makes him dissatisfied is this way, obviously to knock on the mountain and suppress the tiger, but tigers are not found on every mountain, most of the mountains only have honest cattle, sheep and rabbits, so fanfare to kill, it is easy for people to become murderous, thinking that killing is the best way to solve the problem. Less than 10 days later, two more people were sentenced to death for counterfeiting renminbi. Liu Ziwen's dissatisfaction has increased again, when Fu Langxi deliberately transported a large amount of fiat currency into Wuhan, exacerbating the economic crisis of the people, and his behavior was worse than counterfeiting currency. And so on and so forth. After surviving the summer, Liu Ziwen's mood suddenly improved. The president of the court, who had repeatedly sentenced others to death, was removed from his post because he was involved in a "parole" incident. As a result, Liu believes that the verdicts for economic crimes are just the personal actions of bad judges. In November 1950, when counter-revolutionary committees were being set up everywhere in the three towns of Wuhan, Liu Ziwen appeared calm and calm, and wrote a letter asking Liu Zimo to bring his family back to Wuhan, even if he did not think about his future, there was still the joy of the brothers together.

Liu Zimo also felt the same way. After more than ten months of observation, Liu Zimo, like Hang Jiufeng and others, began to believe that the people had completely replaced the people. Compared with the national ** after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it took only one year to complete the historical mission of prosperity and decline, Liu Zimo once couldn't believe that those northerners who were contemptuously called nephews by the locals couldn't even distinguish between meteorological science and the sacrificial activities of carrying the Bodhisattva to ask for rain, and what kind of ability could quickly transform the forcibly seized power into a ** that could operate normally. It took only one year for the people, who were so much suspicious of many people, to build a solid and obvious foundation on all fronts.

It was out of admiration for the people that Liu Zimo finally decided to go back to Wuhan.

The brothers had not seen each other since the Japanese surrendered. Liu Ziwen is a little old, he blamed the reason for not fully trusting the people, leaving his wife and children behind, and returning to Wuhan alone, except for business, there is no family affection at all. When he was happy, Liu Ziwen said that the end of the year is coming, and he plans to take all the people in his family to Wuhan for the New Year. Liu Zimo also had this idea, for the meteorology he loved, he should go to that relatively good environment to make a test, maybe he could find a place in the newly established meteorological bureau, and he could also teach at Wuhan University. The conversation between the brothers lasted from dusk to dawn after a long absence, and after breakfast, Liu Ziwen was about to take a nap, but was called away by a phone call. Liu Ziwen was going to the Citibank building, which had been requisitioned by the Military Control Commission, and Liu Zimo, who was so excited that he did not feel a trace of sleepiness, was about to cross the river to Wuhan University, and the two brothers sat in the black Ford sedan. When Liu Zimo went to Wuhan University, he could tell the university that he could take out a sum of money from the company to build a meteorological laboratory for Liu Zimo.

This idea was basically determined on the third day after returning to Wuhan, and Wuhan University clearly welcomed it, and asked the relevant personnel to lead him around Luojia Mountain to choose a suitable house for building a laboratory. Liu Zimo happily wrote a letter to Xue Ning overnight, explaining that the laboratory he finally selected was close to Luojia Mountain, and a few steps away from the vast East Lake. The next thing to do is to discuss with Liu Ziwen to see if the Liu family can vacate any properties in the East Lake area for him and Xue Ning, Xue Lan, Xue Hong, as well as Chang Niangniang and Wang Niangniang. For the sake of the house, Liu Zimo once called home, and the person who answered the phone said that Liu Ziwen had gone out and had not come back yet. Liu Zimo called the phone to the company again, but the person who answered the phone still said the same thing. Liu Zimo didn't notice that death was hovering over the heads of the two Liu brothers, and his eyes only had autumn water and a long sky, and the moon was white and the wind was clear.

On that day, because of a hangover, Liu Zimo did not return to Hankou on the left bank from Wuchang on the right bank of the Yangtze River in time. The next day, he was dragged by some professional matters in Wuhan University and could not leave. After lunch, it was as if everything had changed. Someone deliberately put the day's newspaper in front of him. Liu Ziwen's name appeared in a position that was not very noticeable, but would never be missed, and there was a qualitative subtitle below: "This extraordinarily large economic traitor was once let go by the reactionary pseudo-**, and now it is up to the people to settle the account!" "Not only this article, but from the first to the last edition, it is everywhere: suppression of counter-revolution! Suppression of the counter-revolution! Although Wuhan University comforted him, the people were more reasonable than the people. Liu Zimo still gave up his plan to return to the city from the countryside for the time being, he wanted to see how the people would deal with Liu Ziwen and then arrange himself.

Liu Zimo took the newspaper and went straight to the Municipal Military Control Commission. In front of the Citibank building, several sentries with guns stopped him from entering. Liu Zimo showed them the newspaper in his hand, but the sentinels did not allow it. Liu Zimo stood at the door, and whenever he saw people in the uniform of the Military Control Commission, he pointed to the relevant words in the newspaper and showed them. Liu Zimo's efforts paid off when it was getting dark. Several military trucks were speeding down the main street along the river, and as soon as the trucks stopped, a large number of members of the Military Control Commission with various types of firearms poured out of the Citi building. Liu Zimo almost subconsciously shouted at a familiar figure on the truck: "Ah Cai! The woman caught in the crowd turned her head in response, and after being stunned, raised her hand, took the placket of her uniform, and made a downward stretching gesture. Liu Zimo, who understood this gesture as a cheongsam, stood stubbornly in front of the Citibank building. Familiar neighborhoods were darkened in a rainbow of colours, and only the night lights of the Citibank building still illuminated the deep alleys. The sentry in front of the gate had changed several times, and all the new ones persuaded him to leave. With the explanation again and again, Liu Zimo became more reasonable, at first he was just pointing at the newspaper, but later he dared to wave the newspaper, and the speech was like saying how the Military Control Committee sent people to ** to ask Liu Ziwen to come back again and again, and from time to time he came up with words such as treachery. There have been dozens of people who have come to the Citibank building to inquire about the news, and the most stubborn one is Liu Zimo. Other people just ask, and if there is a result, they will leave quickly. Liu Zimo made up his mind, and he had written a letter to Liu Ziwen with the meaning of persuasion to return according to the advice of the messenger sent by the Military Control Commission, and neither he nor others had a suitable excuse to let him leave voluntarily without results.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the sky over the two rivers and three towns is full of poignant sirens. The occasional whistle on the Yangtze River shows Liu Zimo's loneliness. The bell that Jiang Han had closed rang just as one o'clock in the morning, and a man who looked like the new owner of the Citibank building walked out. "I'm Liu Ziwen's younger brother! Why did you arrest him? Liu Zimo's shout made him leave the normal route, and instead of walking directly to the jeep parked at the door, he made a small turn and came forward to ask a few words. Liu Zimo first explained Liu Ziwen's situation, and then briefly introduced himself. The man was only interested in Liu Zimo, and he didn't ask what he thought, and immediately said to the person who looked like a staff officer behind him: "Contact the meteorological station of the military region immediately, and I will find a big scientist for them." Liu Zimo said: "I have already done Mao Sui's self-recommendation at Wuhan University. At this moment, he just wants to ask the Military Control Commission to respect historical facts, not to cover the sky with one hand, and not to repeat the tragedy of the rebellion in the Soviet-occupied areas, still less to cook rabbits and dead dogs, hide all birds, and cross rivers and demolish bridges. Liu Zimo also felt that he could talk in front of a figure of this level how Fu Langxi found Liu Ziwen two years ago and sold a large number of fiat currencies seized from other places, which caused the financial economy of the three towns of Wuhan to fall into a situation of no return, and accelerated the speed of the collapse of the people. It is difficult to distinguish whether the person who looks like the new owner of the Citibank building is sincere or acting, but he changed his previous amiable attitude and told Liu Zimo: "What you said is definitely not the truth!" The reactionary ** army of eight million was lost to us on the battlefield. We will never do what you say hurts innocent people. The new owner of the Citibank building said that some people may do things that go against their principles under the guise of being clever and have more than enough softness and insufficient fighting strength. Here, I advise you not to talk nonsense outside, this kind of thing related to the reputation of the people is bigger than the sky, and no one can afford to fall to the ground. We will ruthlessly use the harshest means of repression against those who spread political rumors with ulterior motives. All in all, he asked Liu Zimo not to treat some people as Qingtian lords and umbrellas, if Liu Zimo has other things to do, where to go and where to go, Lai here will not play any role, and it will even backfire.

Liu Zimo set off from the Citibank building, walked slowly to Xian'an Fang, and relayed Xue Ning's message, telling Tailor Deng to stop remembering the spring, summer, autumn and winter of the Xue family, and when there were clothes that he needed to make, he would definitely pay for wages and fabrics. The front of the cheongsam shop was deserted, and most of the women who loved to find Tailor Deng to make cheongsams were in a shadow of terror because someone in their family was arrested and detained, and they no longer had the intention of making their clothes as fresh as the season that had just arrived. Tailor Deng asked Liu Zimo to stay in the store temporarily, but Liu Zimo stubbornly wanted to return to his home.

When they arrived near the Xunli Gate, they found that the Liu family's house had been seized by the Military Control Commission. Across the street, Liu Zimo stomped a few feet helplessly at the armed men who guarded the gate and did not allow anyone to enter, turned around, and turned blindly on the street for a while, unconsciously hearing a woman calling her name, and after a look, she realized that she had turned to the front of Tailor Deng's cheongsam shop. Ah Cai was already waiting there. Speaking of which, I realized that what Ah Cai meant on the military truck was to ask him to meet him in Deng's tailor's shop. Compared with before, Ah Cai's eyes are much kinder when she speaks. Regarding Liu Ziwen, when Ah Cai said that Fu Langxi has unspeakable hidden, he seems to have unspeakable hidden secrets. She asked Liu Zimo to go back to the gate of heaven as soon as possible, and believe Fu Langxi as much as possible in this matter, if nothing else, the result should be optimistic.

Early the next morning, Liu Zimo arrived at the passenger terminal located on the border of Jianghan Pass and boarded a passenger ferry to Lanxi. While sailing to the river near Tuanfeng, the engine room of the passenger ship suddenly exploded. Fortunately, there were not many passengers on board, and the lifeboat was enough. By the time the liner sank, all passengers had fled to shore. Only then did Liu Zimo know that there was a Commander Li on the same ship, and the ** placed in the cabin was aimed at him. Therefore, Liu Zimo was escorted to Huangzhou City for interrogation for half a month along with more than 200 other people, and was not released until Duan Sanguo came to pick him up in person.

Liu Zimo was anxious to return to the gate of heaven, but Duan Sanguo was not in a hurry, leading him to repeatedly coil in the ancient red cliff outside Huangzhou City, and carved the huge woodcut on Su Dongpo's poems, and asked endlessly. asked Liu Zimo suddenly wondered: Duan Sanguo, who has always only liked to listen to and hear books, but does not like to read, pretend to have other things on his mind, so he is so abnormal? Duan Sanguo really sighed and told him that Liu Ziwen was dead. Liu Zimo didn't believe it, when he was censored, he deliberately asked the guards to read the newspaper every day, and for more than ten days, there was no news from Liu Ziwen. Duan Sanguo said that someone claiming to be from the Military Control Commission called the county and asked the county ** to inform Liu Zimo on their behalf that he would rush to Wuhan to collect the body within three days. The next morning, Ah Cai called Duan Sanguo, and on behalf of Ziyu, he said that in accordance with the instructions of the relevant leaders, Liu Ziwen's body had been buried in a good cypress coffin on Jiufeng Mountain. If Liu Zimo wants to go back to sweep the tomb, he can choose a time when the climate will improve. Of course, Liu Zimo understands that the leader is Fu Langxi, and he can better understand the different meanings contained in the statement of climate improvement. As for the cause of Liu Ziwen's death, one does not belong to the kind of execution of a condemned prisoner, and the other does not belong to the death of an illness, and these two points can only be determined. The rest of the causes that may lead to unnatural deaths: poisoning, self-killing, hanging beams, torture, etc., exist in Liu Zimo's conjecture all the time. Liu Zimo listened to Duan Sanguo's words, the more mysterious Liu Ziwen's death is, the more it means the end of a certain event, if you still want to explore, it is very likely to wake up the devil who sleeps at ease, which will cause a greater disaster.

Later, Liu Zimo mentioned Liu Ziwen's death in front of Dong Chong many times. After experiencing 99 times of silence in lieu of answering, Dong Chongli finally took out the letter of proof written by Fu Langxi himself: "I don't know how long it can bless me to survive?" ”

If this kind of background is complicated, Liu Zimo can only detect the paradox in the past. Today, he can seem to understand whether he understands or not.

One-two-five

Liu Ziwen's death caused Liu Zimo to lose his appreciation for meteorology, which he loved, and instead studied the question that Xue Ning had stumped Grandpa Mei when he was a child: Who was the first person in history to be involuntarily prevented from moving forward by others by violent means? Or simply, in the words of Xue Ning's time, who was the first person to be killed in history? Like everyone who was stumped by Snow Lime, Liu Zimo soon discovered that this was a difficult problem that made people feel at a loss. Dong Chongli, who is still studying Xiaohua's diary, once suggested that maybe he could consult Hang Jiufeng, the Hang family has never lacked talent in this area. Liu Zimo disagrees, in his opinion, people's understanding of themselves is far less than people's research on pure natural things such as heaven and earth, sun, moon, wind and rain, objectively, people always have an innate tendency to beautify their own behavior, in daily life, vulgar to the point of, to the point of drawing eyebrows and cheeks, as long as it involves the parties themselves, they are often unpleasant, all of them are ugly, and even when they are humiliated, they must deceive themselves. It's not just history, if someone asks who was the first person to be killed at the gate of heaven after the old and new regimes changed banners, no one would have thought that the first person to be killed at the gate of heaven would be Zhang Langzhong before seeing the facts. Hang Jiufeng was no exception, he dared to tell the truth in front of Zhang Langzhong: "It's so unexpected that I let you grab the incense!" ”

At this time, Hang Jiufeng was already the director of the public security bureau. At first, Hang Jiufeng didn't want to be a prison warden, so he went to Wuhan with Ah Cai to find Fu Langxi, and once left a message through Ziyu. A year later, the county decided to make him the director of the public security bureau, and he still stubbornly told the county magistrate, who had the taste of crushing people at the level of the official, that whether it was the decision of the province or the county, it must be that his powerful suppressive ability was valued, but he did not understand that only at the gate of heaven could his talent be useful. At the gate of heaven, who can be killed, who can not be killed, who can be killed, and who can not be killed, he doesn't have to use his brain to think about it, he can judge clearly with his ass, heels, and even eggs, and if he uses this talent trained at the gate of heaven to display it on a larger scale, he will become Comrade Xiao Cao back then, which is a big black cauldron. The nephew county magistrate who led Hang Jiufeng was too unfamiliar with the local situation, and in Hang Jiufeng's words, he did have murderous intentions, no killing eyes, and understood what kind of people should be killed, but he didn't know which people should be killed. After all, they are outsiders, and their habits of speaking are different, their eating habits are not the same, and even the habit of wiping their buttocks after going to the toilet is different: the south is full of bamboo, and the unique southerners like to use slices since childhood. But they themselves were afraid of the bamboo thorns on the slices, so they insisted on picking up the tiles to use. They called for rebellion on the stage, and the people in the audience always had the idea of a strong dragon trying to suppress the head snake on the ground. With Hang Jiufeng, the situation is very different, the Hang family has been known for being tough for generations, he wants to avenge his family, he wants to hate other people's families, everyone will think that he is sincere.

Less than two months after Liu Ziwen's mysterious death, a harsh anti-rebellion campaign descended on the gate of heaven. Hang Jiufeng returned to the gate of heaven with a team of public security officers, called Lin Dayu and others, closed the door of the chapel, and hid inside for a meeting for three days and three nights. It is not difficult to determine the target of repression, but the difficult thing is to let someone be the first bird to arouse everyone's enthusiasm to participate in the anti-rebellion movement. Without Fu Langxi's high-level allocation, and the lack of Dong Chongli's practical planning, Lin Dayu, who became the district head, wanted to take a rich man on the street as the first target of repression. After the rich man's son arrived in Taiwan, he brought back a letter, and then the rich man was seen taking out a pistol from the crack in his own wall, hiding in the attic and wiping it all day. Hang Jiufeng disagreed, it was difficult to kill such a person who should have been killed. Of course, Hang Jiufeng hopes to catch the horse harrier, not to mention that shooting the horse harrier is to tie up the live horse harrier to show the public, and it can also make the Bailixi River boil.

Except for Lin Dayu, everyone is nostalgic for Fu Langxi. In Hang Jiufeng's heart, there is one more thing similar to nostalgia than others. In previous years, when he commanded the independent brigade alone, Ah Cai also gave him advice. When Grandma Mei died, Ah Cai came back to make a divorce, and Hang Jiufeng agreed. After receiving the divorce certificate from the county people, he also confidently said that it would be half a year or three months, and Ah Cai would strip naked and drill into his arms. Hang Jiufeng has always believed that "even if you divorce me a hundred times, a county will not go with you", which is the root cause of divorce. Women have always been confused about big things, sober about small things, and regard the small things in sobriety as irreplaceable big things. "If it's really like you say, you don't have any skin at all, I'll lie at your feet and lick up this phlegm." Because he talked too much and his mouth was very dry, Ah Cai deliberately returned to the place where the divorce certificate was handled, asked for a cup of tea, and waited until his lips and teeth were full of fluid, and spit out a bubble of phlegm heavily in front of Hang Jiufeng. "I don't blame you for what you and Inspector Deng are pretending to do, as long as you come back, I won't let you lick this phlegm." Hang Jiufeng's generosity is still effective.

Last month, Hang Jiufeng went to a training course in Wuhan to learn about the suppression of counterrevolutionaries. When Ziyu got the news, she invited him to sit at home. Only then did Hang Jiufeng understand that he went from being a prison warden to being a public security bureau chief under Fu Langxi's instructions. Speaking of later, it is natural to mention Ah Cai, Hang Jiufeng asked Ziyu to take the words, as long as Ah Cai is willing to return to the gate of heaven, he will pick her up in person regardless of his previous suspicions. Ziyu also truthfully brought Ah Cai's words to Hang Jiufeng: "The Hang Jiufeng I know died last year, and in the future, no matter who is named Hang Jiufeng, it has nothing to do with me." This is Ah Cai's original words, and Ziyu has not changed a word. Hang Jiufeng grinned and laughed loudly: "When the leprosy is born, she will remember who is good and who is not." "There are so many masters in the world, don't think that you alone can cure her problems!" Ziyu's words attracted Hang Jiufeng's attention at that time, could it be that Ah Cai found a man who could make manganese? "If you have a chance, let Ah Cai tell you herself, I can't say it clearly, and I'm afraid that saying it too clearly will make you sad." Ziyu avoided answering, so that Hang Jiufeng couldn't continue to ask. Back at the gate of heaven, Sisi asked if she had reunited with Ah Cai, and Hang Jiufeng was still thinking about the mysteries hidden in Ziyu's soft words. Hang Jiufeng couldn't answer, so he had to sigh: "That's good, the people have a law, and a husband can only marry one wife, so don't think about that leprosy woman anymore." Sisi said that Hang Jiufeng sighed for Ah Cai, but he didn't admit it, if there was such a thing, he also sighed for Ziyu. Indeed, Ziyu doesn't remember the last time she miscarried, and she was as generous as Fu Langxi.

Hang Jiufeng went to Fu Langxi's house twice, and he didn't even see a single hair from the vice chairman. Ziyu's tone is also changing, one high, one lower, I can't tell whether it is deep or shallow. Only when I talked about the Xue family, I returned to the old understanding: "This time the rebellion has nothing to do with the Xue family, don't provoke others if you have nothing to do, let them live their lives well." "Listening to Ziyu's tone, it was Fu Langxi who was giving instructions behind his back." You should know that if you don't move the Xue family, the masses at the gate of heaven will not be able to mobilize. This was also the best experience of the riots back then. In the face of Hang Jiufeng's statement, Ziyu's answer was both like Fu Langxi and not like Fu Langxi: "Do you think about things with your ass, or do you think about things with your brain?" Thinking about things with your ass, I'm too lazy to talk about you. If you think about things with your brain, you don't need me to talk about it. I see that you are half with your ass and half with your brain, so I just reminded you a few words. At that time, we wanted to seize power, but now, what we want to do is to consolidate it. Even if the other side doesn't like us, we can't just dislike each other like in the past, you must know that guns and cannons can be captured by winning battles, culture can't be captured, you can kill cultured people, and the culture of those people can't reach your head. "Hang Jiufeng was finally annoyed, he exposed Ziyu's old bottom, he had never used a real knife or a real gun, he had never written a slogan article in his paper, if he hadn't made Lin Dayu a cuckold, he wouldn't be the same as the women of the blacksmith family in the world at this time, his throat was like a chimney all year round, and the snot that came out was blacker than ink. Ziyu was also annoyed: "What is wrong with your Hang family, you have always been unable to get along with the Xue family for generations?" We don't know about the previous life and the previous life, but we can see it clearly in this life and this life, the Xue family has never been able to fight back against your Hang family, and they can't scold back! "That's because you can't see things well, and you can't see that the white cat of the Xue family has bitten the white dog of the Hang family to death!" Ziyu was so angry that she slapped the table, and a guard had already run over and wanted to attack Hang Jiufeng. Unexpectedly, Hang Jiufeng moved faster, subdued the guard with his right hand, and unloaded the pistol with his left hand. When Hang Jiufeng strode away angrily, Ziyu stopped a group of guards behind him: "Let him go, he is the life-saving benefactor of me and Lao Fu!" Thanks to them, they haven't forgotten this, and Hang Jiufeng can only think about this endlessly in the training class later.

With these knots blocked in his heart, Hang Jiufeng felt heartache when he thought of Fu Langxi. Several people brought it up, the matter at the gate of heaven is Fu Langxi's business, it is better to simply call and ask for instructions, even if Fu Langxi does not know what to say, there is a hint of Ziyu.

"Political Commissar Fu is not a panacea for all diseases, and so far he has not been able to let any woman give birth to a bloodline!" Unconsciously, Hang Jiufeng quoted what Fu Langxi said, "Act first, as long as you act, there will always be a way." ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Dayu suddenly had an idea, although he was not resolute when he said it: "There is a person who should be able to be killed as a target of rebellion." Hang Jiufeng understood that he wanted to say Dong Chongli, and stretched out his hands and kept waving.

I heard that Dong Chongli had already asked Fu Langxi for a "letter of avoiding death", Lin Dayu immediately complained, people are forgetful as soon as they become officials, and they can't remember the events of the year. Hang Jiufeng, who was still venting his dissatisfaction just now, didn't want anyone to help. Lin Dayu's number of falls made him say good things for Fu Langxi, for so many years, Fu Langxi can always look at people and things with foresight, he doesn't let Dong Chongli die, others can't cut off Dong Chongli's way of life.

Do you want to continue to take the Snow Family? Because of the clear warning issued by Ziyu's representative Fu Langxi, Hang Jiufeng has also endured not to touch this issue, and only once said that he leaked his mouth: "It's really strange, after discussing it for a few days and nights, it seems that everyone doesn't remember that there is a big landlord surnamed Xue at the gate of heaven." As soon as the words came out, it was difficult to collect them, so Hang Jiufeng had no choice but to talk about things related to the Xue family, "That year, someone hid at the end, locked the two women of the Xue family in the White Bird Garden, and gave them to the Japanese to spoil them, and found out this person as the number one target of rebellion, and things in the future will be much easier." ”

"After so many years, I would have found it a long time ago!" Lin Dayu expressed a different opinion.

There are also people who follow Hang Jiufeng to echo, on the surface, this is a headless case, but in fact, the mystery is in Grandma Mei's heart. Although Grandma Mei is dead, with the rare relationship between her and Xue Ning, even if she doesn't say it, Xue Ling will understand. As soon as Xue Ling speaks, the mystery will be revealed. Lin Dayu still insisted on his opinion: "In my opinion, it is most appropriate to let Dong Chongli take the lead." As long as this knife is cut right, whether it is a rebellion or a suppression, there is no such thing as a bamboo. ”

This superficial discussion was interrupted by the sudden burst into the chapel. The sentry at the door was not unable to stop it, but it was impossible to use it, and it was not easy to load the bullet or aim the bayonet at the chest of the district chief's wife: "Aren't you uncomfortable, what are you doing here, go and see Zhang Langzhong!" ”

"That old pervert, I don't know how long I live, and I still want to get my hands down!"

The placket of fine rice has not been buttoned yet, and after a little fiddling, the snow-white breasts are revealed, and the ** that has become sharp because of his son's white delivery in his mouth all day long is no longer conspicuous, but a row of tooth marks neatly arranged on the root of the nipple is unforgettable. Needless to say, everyone understands, this is what Zhang Langzhong did. Zhang Langzhong always likes to put his ear on the other party's chest when he sees a doctor, and he listens again and again, and it is normal for fine rice who has already put on winter clothes to be asked to untie the cotton clothes outside. Zhang Langzhong said that the billet of fine rice is very good, and if Lin Dayu can work for three years as the district chief, the appearance of fine rice will definitely exceed the silk and thread. What happened after this, Zhang Langzhong, who was arrested, couldn't say it clearly: "I'm confused, I don't mean it, for the sake of me being able to cure the disease and save people, please ask the forest chief to spare me from death!" ”

At the end of 1950, a new situation emerged in the anti-rebellion work at Tianmen because of Zhang Langzhong. Investigated and investigated, thirty percent of the women who came to Zhang Langzhong to see a doctor in the Tianmen area were insulted by him. Those enlightened women complained in unison, Zhang Langzhong's palms were stained with ecstasy, pinching the pulse, and sprinkling them on the woman's palms, and they were accidentally fascinated by him, fooled, and suffered losses, and they didn't dare to say it in front of their husbands. For ordinary women, Zhang Langzhong just touched from head to toe, from front to back. Zhang Langzhong likes small and delicate women like fine rice, he likes to sit on the Taishi chair, take off such a woman in his arms, and play slowly. Zhang Langzhong used himself as a medicine primer and wrote it on a woman's prescription as the god of medicine. When the sick woman puts on her clothes, he will point to the word medicine god and say, "The medicine primer is already on you." If Zhang Langzhong asked her to come to the pharmacy in seven days, or to go to the woman's house after seven days, she must have liked it very much. Zhang Langzhong himself confessed that no matter how much he likes it, he will stick to the principle of not doing anything more.

Like everyone, Hang Jiufeng also wanted to know if Zhang Langzhong had done anything to the women of the Xue family. Zhang Langzhong's answer made Hang Jiufeng secretly surprised in his heart: according to his judgment of himself, the previous three lives and three lives must have also practiced medicine and medicine, and he couldn't cultivate such good medical skills in this life and this life alone. He doesn't know how many times he has touched the pulse of the woman of the Xue family, every time he puts it on the wrist, the five fingers become numb and crispy, and there is a breath running, not those who run the rivers and lakes to sell dog skin plasters say that they suck yin and pick yang, that kind of ** is running out of the pulse of the woman of the Xue family, all the way to their hearts. Zhang Langzhong spent a lot of lamp grass and lamp oil for this, and turned over many medical books and pharmacopoeias, and finally came to a conclusion. Just like when Senator Wang said about Grandma Mei, he wrote it with his fingers in the air, one ear and one mouth. "There is really what the ancients said-" Zhang Langzhong didn't say that word, "it must be on the woman of the Xue family." Zhang Langzhong sighed sincerely, such a woman can only stay away.

After being named by Lin Dayu, Zhang Langzhong's death process began. As the search proceeds, the biggest secret is revealed. Zhang Langzhong's account book reads in black and white: On August 24, 1949, ten packets of medicine. The day before, the pharmacy guy wrote in the account book: Mr. advised, when the heat comes, use sexual dryness drugs with caution. If there is no such sentence, the "ten packs of medicine" in the back will definitely be ignored by the searchers. The searcher showed the ledger to Hang Jiufeng, and there was no need to remind him, Hang Jiufeng was also alert: the sentry claimed to have injured the horse harrier in the early morning of the summer season. is very different from other records, who bought the ten packets of medicine, and what the main flavors of medicine are, all omitted. Why is this the case, the pharmacy guy doesn't know, Zhang Langzhong asked him to write how he wanted. The initial interrogation of Zhang Langzhong was carried out by his subordinates, and it was not clear that Zhang Langzhong reacted too strongly. He said that he should think about it, and when we meet again tomorrow, he may be able to remember. At night, the lights elsewhere were blown out early, but only the room in Zhang Langzhong was still lit. Zhang Langzhong was afraid of the dark, so he had to light the lamp and add two taels of soju to fall asleep. Anyway, I went to the pharmacy to get it, and no one would disagree. Zhang Langzhong, who had drunk wine, was lying on the bed muttering rhythmically, and the guard asked him if he could recall, Zhang Langzhong replied that he was reciting the soup song, and he didn't have time to think about other things before he had time to think about it. It didn't take long for Zhang Langzhong to fall asleep. In the second half of the night, Hang Jiufeng got up to inspect, and looked through the doorway, everything was the same. Long after dawn, Zhang Langzhong had not moved, the guards found Hang Jiufeng and Lin Dayu, opened the door and went in, only to find that Zhang Langzhong had secretly eaten arsenic at night and turned into a zombie alive.

How could the angry Hang Jiufeng allow Zhang Langzhong to die so lightly. After joint planning with Lin Dayu, the plan to shoot Zhang Langzhong spread all over the banks of the West River in just one morning.

After that, Hang Jiufeng began to teach a town and a county how to play a key role: "What is the key? The point is that someone has stuck a torch in your butt and you're still half a mile from the pond! The point is that the woman you like is pressed to the ground by other men, the trouser belt is untied, and you are still on the other side of the river! The Suppression Committee has given you both a key role in entrusting you with the most honorable task. It's not that you should be majestic and high-spirited, and go to the Yalu River to fight the wolf of American ambitions. At today's gate of heaven, Zhang Langzhong's black flag does not fall, and our flag is not good-looking! Turn around and hold a public trial meeting on the river beach, your task is to have one gun for each person, aim accurately, one hit the head, the other hit the vest, the more Zhang Langzhong died, and you will pass this critical pass. ”

At noon, the beach next to the left bank was already crowded, and the women who had been bullied were waiting in the street, beating Zhang Langzhong with the soles of their shoes with needles. When the two guards dragged Zhang Langzhong out of the chapel with his armpit between them, they were protected by public security officers in front and behind, and outside the public security officers were militiamen from a town and a county with guns but no uniforms. "Don't beat him to death, leave him alive so that the public trial can be held!" The louder Hang Jiufeng screamed, the more crazy the woman with the sole of her shoe became, and there weren't many who really succeeded. Finally came to the embankment on the left bank, Lin Dayugang said: "The public trial conference starts now!" The men who had been waiting impatiently for a long time smashed the stones and tiles that had been prepared one after another at Zhang Langzhong, who had already died. Although it is urgent, it is also in line with the meaning of Hang Jiufeng and Lin Dayu.

"Should the guy surnamed Zhang stay?" "Don't stay!"

"Should the guy surnamed Zhang be killed?" "Damn it!"

The roar of the river beach drowned out all sounds. Hang Jiufeng did not hesitate to announce the execution of Zhang Langzhong.

Yixian didn't take off the gun on his shoulder for a long time, so angry that Hang Jiufeng pushed him away with a palm. The rifle in Yizhen's hand had green smoke coming out in time, but Zhang Langzhong did not move. Hang Jiufeng couldn't wait to teach a town by hand: "If you make up one more shot, he will fall." Yizhen trembled and fired a second shot, and Zhang Langzhong was still standing there like a bodhisattva.

"You are like the descendants of the Hang family, those sentenced to death can't be killed!" Hang Jiufeng was anxious, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and shot casually. The zombie Zhang Langzhong finally fell at the feet of the woman who rushed up like a tide.

A few days later, someone remembered: "Why is there no bleeding on Zhang Langzhong's body?" "He was scared to death by the masses of the people, and of course there was no blood to shed!" Hang Jiufeng said it seamlessly, and no one found a flaw in the whole process.

From winter to spring, more than 1,000 people died on Tianmen Street like Zhang Langzhong. Because there are fewer killings in the surrounding walls, the total number is still roughly in the range of three thousandths.

As soon as the snow falls and the snow melts, the flowers bloom, as soon as the Xue family's radio is turned on, except for the singing of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, everything is related to the anti-rebellion movement.

In the early summer, Duan Sanguo suddenly returned to convene a meeting and personally announced that there had been an important adjustment in the anti-rebellion policy. When he gave examples, he was not as straightforward as Hang Jiufeng, but referred to the killing as an execution. Specifically, a place such as the Gate of Heaven cannot exceed one thousandth of the population. In a big city like Wuhan, it's only half the size of Tianmen. When Hang Jiufeng heard this, he immediately smiled and said that this policy must have been formulated by Fu Langxi, and Fu Langxi knew that he was unwilling to go to Wuhan, so he deliberately formulated such a provision that made him happy. Duan Sanguo ignored him and continued, he was afraid that everyone would not be able to distinguish between the cultural, educational, industrial, commercial and religious people mentioned in the document, so he concisely explained that they were people with a certain social status in the local area, that is, Liu Zimo and Xue Ling at the gate of heaven. He said that if these important elements of the united front are to be imprisoned and killed, they must be approved by the provincial government. After Duan Sanguo finished speaking, Hang Jiufeng was still smiling, but his appearance was ugly, he said that since Fu Langxi had already married Ziyu, why bother to worry about the women of the Xue family!

Duan Sanguo didn't say this to Hang Jiufeng, he thought further: "Liu Ziwen is in line with the last one, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the luck to last for half a year!" ”

Duan Sanguo's words made Hang Jiufeng find an excuse to vent: "I also know that if I want to arrest you and arrest you, it doesn't matter what the county says!" ”

"Son-in-law, your temper is going to change, don't start everything from killing words."

"It's not me and Ma Harrier who are killing and killing, you can be the deputy county magistrate as a watchman?"

Hang Jiufeng rarely spoke in front of Duan Sanguo, if there was no such father-in-law, a town and a county would have become someone else's target long ago, and it would be a blessing to be able to keep the egg that did not grow round when he died. Hang Jiufeng was so angry with Fu Langxi's participation in the formulation of the new policy of suppressing the rebellion, he had to scold, and specially selected people who were close to him to scold, saying again and again that he hated this new policy of restraining his hands and feet.

"You have killed everything that should be killed, and only the horse harrier who can't be found by the ghost is left, why can't you hate it enough?"

"Political Commissar Fu is always like this, I can't wait to hate him together."

Duan Sanguo understood that this was angry talk. Fu Langxi always remembered Hang Jiufeng, and specially instructed the county not to let a town and a county participate in the Volunteer Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, one of the two brothers arranged to be a civil affairs officer at Tianmen, and the other was a cultural officer at Tianmen, in short, don't let them be martial anymore, so that the men of the Hang family will not be opposed by educated people, so that it is possible to become a parent official at Tianmen. Not letting the next generation leave the gate of heaven is one of Hang Jiufeng's most important wishes. Hang Jiufeng also understands that people who are big officials will not leave their former love and care, so when they say it, they do it, and they hate it, and when they should be obedient, Hang Jiufeng will still be obedient. Duan Sanguo dared to ask him out of his familiarity with Hang Jiufeng: "Are you fighting the Xue family's abacus again?" You are my son-in-law, and since I will marry Sisi to you, of course I expect you to get better and better, so I will tell the truth. Mo Yao Xue's family, both men and women are not provoked. You can't see what tailor-made means, so I'll help you see it. These new policies are cheongsams cut according to the body of the women of the Xue family. So you must understand this! Otherwise, don't say that the director of public security is the prison director, and you will not be the one. ”

"Don't say it's nice, you are using silk to make peace with the independent brigade."

"I'm not talking to you. If you lose the director of the public security bureau, can I, the deputy county magistrate who was born as a watchman, still be able to be a taste? Tell me what is in your heart, do you feel itchy when you see Liu Zimo's neck? ”

Duan Sanguo guessed correctly. Hang Jiufeng had just determined in his heart a goal that could better show the bloody nature of the Hang family's men: the anti-rebellion campaign he commanded would start with the killing of Zhang Langzhong and end with Liu Zimo's head falling to the ground, and he would be able to achieve a complete victory at the gate of heaven. Such a perfect idea made Hang Jiufeng firmly believe that when a person has no hatred in his heart, this person becomes a walking corpse. Duan Sanguo asked Hang Jiufeng to recall that before Dong Chongli, in the storytelling of the blind man, Li Yuanba on Wagang Village, because he forgot the instructions of the master who could not make the phoenix wings be bored with gold, insisted on killing Yuwen Chengdu, the second hero in the world who rode the dragon race five-spotted horse, and the general of Tianbao, the pillar of the Sui Dynasty, as a result, the first hero in the world who was a hero in the world, but was smashed into a meatloaf by his own 320-pound drum urn and golden hammer.

"Listen to me, son-in-law, don't think about it!"

One-two-six

A second bicycle appeared on the left bank of the West River. It was not the postman who rode on it, nor the man who looked like the postman, but Snow Blue, who was becoming more mature physically.

On that day, Yu Guiyu, who had returned from the Bailian River, lifted a large wooden box with his apprentice for the first time, and regardless of the other goods that needed to be handed over, he hurriedly stepped onto the left bank, calling Xue Ning's name all the way, saying that someone had brought her a bicycle from Wuhan. At the gate of heaven, which was alarmed, people on and off the street crowded into the middle, waiting to see the bicycles taken out of the wooden box. There were iron bars nailed to each side of the wooden box, and Liu Zimo held a carpenter's mace, and it took him a long time to open the lid of the wooden box. The open wooden box was filled with white confetti, and the junglers let out a burst of laughter. This mocking sound was still in the first place, and the group of people closest to the wooden box suddenly let out even louder exclaims. The bicycle that Yu Ghost Fish said has finally appeared! The postman's bike is black, this bike is red, and it's a red that the sun has never seen before shining on it so brightly that you can't open your eyes! The postman's bicycle girder is straight. In this bicycle, the beam between the satool and the faucet is curved, and the thin moon hangs in the sky like a moth eyebrow! The postman's bike only has two flywheels. This bike has three flywheels! Later, Tianmen realized that the red bicycle was made in the United Kingdom, and it was given a Chinese name called Blue Antelope. In Wuhan, the general rich are not unable to afford but can't buy, as long as you see a young woman riding this Blue Antelope brand red women's three-flywheel variable speed bicycle, you will understand that her family is a foreign company. Only those who drive a foreign company have the opportunity to bring back such a fashionable bicycle from England. Liu Zimo took out a pump from the bottom of the wooden box, pumped up the two tires, and looked at Xue Ling with his eyes. Xue Ning's face was crimson, she couldn't stand Liu Zimo's staring, walked over shyly, took the women's bicycle from Liu Zimo's hand and said, I will ride it when I am in Wuhan, after so many years, I don't know if it will work. Xue Ling put her left foot on the pedal on the left side of the women's bicycle and gently tiptoed twice, and the crowd in front of her dodged out of the way. Xue Ling didn't ride up, she tiptoed twice in a row, and it was only on the third time that she lifted her right leg and was as light as a swallow riding on the bicycle. Xue Ning rode a women's bicycle from the upper street entrance to the left bank of the West River, and then turned around and went home from the lower street entrance after reaching the pavilion. The people of Tianmen had never seen a women's bicycle, let alone a woman riding a bicycle, not only those children who had not yet grown up, but also several adult men who were following behind, running around and screaming like crazy. Xue Ning rested, and many dissatisfied people were shouting, asking her to ride another lap for everyone to see, such a good bike, it was a pity to be locked in the house.

Xue Ning pushed her bicycle and walked into the house, and Yu Ghost Fish caught up and handed over a letter. The letter was written by Ah Cai, and it was clear when you looked at the handwriting. The women's bicycle is the second boss of Chunmanyuan, and asked Ah Cai to transfer it to the Xue family. The current second boss has no problems anymore and continues to work in Chunmanyuan. Of course, Ah Cai didn't completely let him go, and asked him for a movie ticket every now and then, and also named the box where Grandma Mei and Ai Yi used to watch the play. For the second boss, this is just a small thing that can be done easily. The second boss once wanted to bring a troupe to Tianmen to perform a few big plays, and solemnly expressed his gratitude to the Xue family, because the anti-rebellion movement began, followed by the "three anti" and "five anti" movements, and everyone felt inconvenient. Or Ah Cai came up with the idea for him, saying that Xue Lan had grown up, why not give her a bicycle, with the beauty of the Xue family's woman, coupled with unheard of transportation, it will definitely bring a new fashion to Tianmen. It also opened the eyes of the brothers in a town and a county, don't let them continue to follow Hang Jiufeng, and regard the iron sand cannon as the best thing in the world. The tone between the lines obviously carries Ah Cai's habit of speaking.

In those days, the affairs of the weather station were all done by Xue Ning. Liu Zimo stayed at home to teach Xue Lan to ride a bicycle. The courtyard in the Ziyang Pavilion is not big, just enough for girls to learn to ride bicycles.

A few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1952, the magistrate of Yuzi County came to Tianmen to summarize the local anti-rebellion movement.

In a county where he worked as a cultural officer at the district office, he carried a bucket of water made of red soil to write a large slogan on the outer wall of the chapel, and the gate of heaven that passed through the anti-rebellion movement seemed to be more lively than before. A county surrounded some junglers, and a freshly out craftsman insisted that a county had written it wrong, and that there should be a dog under the word qing, not a big one, and that many and wide dogs barked together to be lively, so as to have a festive atmosphere.

As he spoke, a crisp bell rang over. Yixian looked back and couldn't believe his eyes.

Xue Lan pushed the women's bicycle made in the United Kingdom, walked out of the house in all directions, looked back and forth, left and right, and then let go of the left hand holding the dragon's head, and lifted the white long skirt over the curved bicycle beam first, and then tiptoed lightly with her feet in white leather shoes, and her body fell with the wind like a butterfly picking flowers, and sat firmly on the stool. In the soft exclamations of the crowd, Snow Blue quickly merged with the bicycle they were riding. Pedestrians on the left bank of the West River have never seen such a beautiful sight, standing by the road early and waiting to feel the wonder of passing by. Xue Lan didn't let herself ride too far, she knew that there would be many pairs of eyes thrown at her from all directions, and her original plan to ride all the way to the soup shop suddenly changed when she was about to see the tile ridge in the distance.

At that moment, a white horse appeared on the river beach, and almost everyone knew that the white horse was once ridden by Brigade Commander Feng, and later returned to the county magistrate of Yuzi to sit down. The white horse on the river beach made its way down the river, speeding past Snow Blue and her women's bike. The man standing on the stirrup with the reins in both hands is a county. Riding a white horse, another sight, when he jumped from a slope onto the road, Xue Lan had turned around and went back. Yixian was not in a hurry, seeing that Xue Lan on a bicycle was about to cross the gazebo, so he rode his horse and whipped up, chased after her like a long wind and clouds, overtook her, and walked away without looking back. When Xue Lan rode her bicycle back to her home, Yixian continued to write on the wall as if nothing had happened, carrying the bucket of earthy red water.

After a while, I heard that from Xue Lan's exit to the entrance to the entrance, the county magistrate of Yuzi always stared with a telescope, until a county rode a white horse to catch up, he retracted his gaze and asked Hang Jiufeng and Lin Dayu seriously: "The women of the Xue family still dare to be arrogant, which means that your anti-rebellion work has not been done!" ”

"We can't be blamed for this, people have a backstage and a talisman to protect them." Hang Jiufeng was very happy to have the opportunity to say what he had been holding in his heart for a long time.

"Don't be afraid of the sky, don't be afraid of ghosts, I'm afraid that you won't be able to mobilize the masses."

"At the gate of heaven, there is no way that the Hang family can't come up with, so Political Commissar Fu has been relying on us."

The magistrate of Yuzi County didn't seem to like this statement very much, he asked Hang Jiufeng to be cautious when he spoke, not too exaggerated, to really suppress the rebellion, and see the opportunity to gnaw off the last hard bone at the gate of heaven.

At that time, the magistrate of Yuzi County, who came down from the bell tower, joked honestly: "I'm going to tire my horse to death, it's really a hero and a sad beauty!" Without waiting for a county to answer, the magistrate turned to Xue Lan, who was about to push the cart into the house: "The working people are bleeding and sweating, but Miss Jiao of the exploiting class is using the hedonistic tools made by imperialism to play in the mountains and rivers!" ”

"You're not right! People invented bicycles to improve work efficiency. Xue Lan's answer was very crisp. From the moment they got the bike, the Snow Family released the weather forecast to a wider area from the Middle Boundary Ridge to the soup shop. Compared to the weather forecast, which predicts wind and rain, the red women's bicycle is more pleasing to the eye for both men and women. Snow blue appears on the ridge of the Middle Boundary Ridge every morning, and in the afternoon it appears on the banks of the soup shop. Xue Lan has replaced the long skirt that she is used to seeing at sunset and moonrise with a white navy uniform with a blue streamer. People are in the car, the car is in the wind, and everything is inspired by the blue streamers, fluttering high. The road is facing the sky, and each side is half gone. People who rely on the water or the mountains, every time they encounter this kind of beauty that slowly passes through their minds, they have to be stunned for a while. What made them even more interesting was the encounter between the postman on his bicycle and Xue Lan. For many years, as soon as they arrived at the foot of the Middle Boundary Ridge, the postman would leave his bicycle at the house of the person on the side of the road and walk up with the parcel on his back. Xue Lan, who was riding a women's bicycle, went out for the first time to issue a weather forecast, and rode all the way to Zhongjie Ridge. Of course, the postman couldn't stand it, so he stopped leaving his bicycle and stepped on the ridge. Snow Blue, who rides on the women's bicycle, overtakes the postman with a pull of the shift handle, which is not easy, but it is by no means strained, and it seems that it has reached the highest watershed. The postman, who lost to Xue Lan, said with some frustration that if his bicycle could also change speeds, he could ride on the camphor tree.

It was on this day that the postman secretly opened a secret letter and showed it to Xue Lan. According to the document, the nationwide anti-rebellion campaign dealt a devastating blow to the remnants of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism with incomparably heavy force. The suppression of the counter-revolutionary movement in the vast majority of the country has reached the point of complete or relatively complete repression. According to the statistics of October, about 80 percent of the counter-revolutionaries in the country have been killed, imprisoned, and punished. At the end of 1952, the nationwide anti-rebellion campaign finally came to a victorious end, with a total of more than 2.4 million bandits annihilated, 1.27 million counter-revolutionary elements of all kinds imprisoned, 230,000 under control, and 710,000 killed.

There was no one around, and any movement was caused by small beasts in the forest or the north wind passing through the mountains. The postman said, "It's good that it's over, the Xue family has finally escaped." ”

Xue Lan was very strange: "The Xue family didn't do anything bad?" You don't have to worry. ”

The postman said, "You haven't heard of it, there is a big wall at the foot of the military division ridge, and six people have been suppressed in one go. The locals didn't say anything, but some northerners were not convinced, saying that they together were not as powerful as the Xue family's exploitation of the poor. The northerners have also calculated the economic accounts, and your women's bicycle can be worth at least forty ploughing oxen. ”

"Don't they know that someone else gave the bike?" Xue Lan was strange, but she didn't think deeply. After going to the soup shop to post the weather forecast, on the way back, Xue Lan met a group of young and beautiful women. Snow Blue, who was riding a bicycle, stared curiously at their backpacks, and the young and beautiful women also looked at her. Someone called out her name: "You're Snow Blue!" And then there was no follow-up. Xue Lan felt very uncomfortable, and there happened to be a sand pit on the road, and when she was in a hurry to dodge, she fell hard. The women giggled, and no one would come up to her, and sang a paradoxical song from afar.

Xue Lan returned to Ziyang Pavilion and saw Cousin Yuan and Dong Chongli sitting at home, only to understand that the group of young women were members of the art troupe brought by Dong Chongli.

The county art troupe wants to come to Tianmen to stage a new play related to the suppression of rebellion and the land reform movement, and there is no need to set up a stage three days in advance, they will use a hoe to level the place where they have always held, erect a pillar on the front and back, and hang a curtain and two gas lamps. This is the first time that the county art troupe has come to Tianmen to perform. People who went up to Zhongjieling and down to the soup shop came, and before it was dark, the river beach next to the left bank was full of people.

Because he was going home, Dong Chongli asked the group for half a day off, saying that he was accompanying his cousin, but in fact, he had been talking to Xue Ling and Liu Zimo. Before dinner, a county suddenly came. A county that rarely enters the gate of Ziyang Pavilion actually wants to borrow a bicycle for the art troupe and put it on the stage as props. Dong Chongli is very strange, the art troupe acts, every line, every action, he knows everything about it, and there is absolutely no bicycle-related content.

A county said confidently: "It is an instruction from the magistrate of Yuzi County." ”

Knowing that the county magistrate of Yuzi specially came to Tianmen and was urging the actors of the art troupe to rehearse the end of the act according to his request, Dong Chongli did not delay for a minute and left.

Snow Blue pushed the bike out and handed it over to a county. A county can't ride, and it can't be steady, so it has to be carried on its shoulders. When the Xue family sent him out, they suddenly shivered collectively.

The new play of the art troupe has finally started. The Xue family went late and could only stand behind the crowd. Most of the actors of the art troupe didn't hear what they sang on stage, and it was only because the people close to the stage were made by the actors on stage to cry, laugh, and make trouble for a while, that they stayed curiously. Two-thirds of the way through the new play, an actress deliberately dressed herself up to be very glamorous and appeared on stage with the women's bicycle. The actress can't ride a bicycle, so she can only stand in the middle of the crooked beam, which makes the audience laugh.

Suddenly, someone climbed onto the stage, grabbed the actress dressed as an exploitative class stinky lady with his left hand, picked up the bicycle that glittered red under the light of the gas lamp with his right hand, and strode to the stage. As soon as the Xue family recognized that person was Hang Jiufeng, Hang Jiufeng shouted loudly on the stage: "Poor people who are suffering!" Many young people standing in front of the stage led by a county, under the personal command of the county magistrate, immediately echoed with Hang Jiufeng: "The poor people who are suffering! Hang Jiufeng shouted again: "You don't understand! The people in the audience continued to echo: "You don't understand! Hang Jiufeng said again: "This ghost car can also eat people without spitting out bones!" Everyone also shouted: "This ghost car can also eat people without spitting out bones!" Hang Jiufeng shouted even more violently: "Bitter brothers with big blisters of Coptis chinensis, if it weren't for the land reform and rebellion, I wouldn't have known that this ghost car that made the rich swagger swagger was worth the price of forty ploughing cattle!" This time, the county hesitated a little, and the magistrate of Yuzi County immediately stood up and raised his fist high, leading the young man to shout the same: "Bitter brothers with big blisters of Huanglian, if it weren't for the land reform and rebellion, I wouldn't have known that this ghost car that made the rich swagger was worth the money of forty ploughing cows!" "The people on the river beach blew up all at once, and they all said anything, and every word was hard to hear.

Chang Niangniang saw that the momentum was wrong, so she grabbed Xue Ning's clothes and pulled them in the direction of home. Xue Ning refused to move, and her eyes did not leave the stage for a moment.

The people watching the play were a little quieter, and the next actors, every time they said a line, the people in the audience repeated it.

The Xue family finally understood, and the ending directed by the county magistrate himself said that there was a rich man named Wang Jishan, who pretended to be a good person in the land reform and anti-rebellion movement, but secretly had a book of changing heaven, and all the people who divided his family's property were recorded in that account, and he also drew red hooks on the names of the activists, waiting for the counterattack to be counted, and immediately beheaded and chopped off the necks of these activists.

After watching the play, Xue Lan went to the stage to get her bicycle back. The actresses didn't bother to remove their makeup, so they all gathered around the bicycle and took turns riding on it to try the feeling. Xue Lan parted them unceremoniously: "There are borrowings and repayments, and it is not difficult to borrow again." With his left foot kicked, his right leg raised, he rode around the stage a few times, and then he rang the bell all the way through the crowd and returned home. Chang Niangniang has already prepared the ginger syrup to prevent wind and cold. The whole family was drinking slowly, only the sound of water, no voice. It wasn't until the howling north wind rattled that Liu Zimo spoke:

"I was wrong again. It's strange that you can't even predict a cold wave! ”

One-two-seven

A cold wave broke through Liu Zimo's forecast and suddenly arrived at the gate of heaven.

Liu Zimo was very sorry to write a short article overnight that he had to write every month.

This month is the last month of 1952, according to the order of Mengdong, the power of the Siberian cold air mass has been quite strong, and it has been moving southward from time to time, forming a cold wave, and the first snow has fallen this month, but the local area is benefited by the peak of the Dabie Mountains, and the climate is not very cold. There were 4 days of clear skies, 10 days of sparse clouds, 7 days of split clouds, 10 days of dense clouds, 8 days of rain, 2 days of snow, 3 days of sleet, 4 days of fog, 9 days of haze, 6 days of haze, 7 days of frost, 19 days of ice, 3 days of strong winds, 1 day of sandstorm, 4 days of solar halo, 2 days of moon halo, and the minimum temperature was below zero degrees Celsius for a total of 13 days. The weather station is completely correct in predicting the 18th of this month: no matter what you do, you should give an account of your conscience, not for others to see. Partially correct forecast for six days: understand where the mistake is, and the mistake has been reversed in the right direction, so that you will not waste your life in a place that you will regret in the future. Only by knowing oneself, subduing oneself, and changing oneself can we change others. Seven days of completely incorrect forecasts: All the staff of the weather station are deeply saddened by the occurrence of incorrect forecasts. But that doesn't mean that the pain is due to the pursuit of the wrong things. There are no clouds and no rain in the sky, and the pain is not brought by others, but because of one's own lack of cultivation. So, when you are suffering, think that this suffering is not eternal. When you are happy, you should also think that happiness is not eternal.

Xue Lan was very puzzled after seeing it, and took it to discuss it with Xue Ning. Xue Ning didn't understand either, but after reading it a few more times, she realized the meaning: "This is the most correct meteorological summary I have ever seen." Seeing that Xue Lan didn't understand, Xue Ling added, "Human nature is also like a cold wave, but it is more difficult to predict than a cold wave." ”

As he was talking, someone outside called for the door, and the sound sounded like a lotus edge. It didn't take long, and Chang Niangniang really brought the panicked lotus side over. When the art troupe was acting, Hebian hugged Chang Wen and went, and Chang Tianliang couldn't see it, so he stayed at home. Lotus was standing very close to the stage, and he could see the rap and reading, and even saw some actresses forgetting to act, just staring at the county magistrate standing behind the stage with affection. In the new play of the art troupe, several people were shot, and one of them, the president of the Chamber of Commerce named One-Eyed Dragon, was also suppressed. Lotus felt uneasy, and left the scene before the play was finished, but the house was empty when he pushed the door open. He Bian thought that Chang Tianliang had gone to the river beach, and there was no one to see after waiting for a long time, and the more He Bian thought about it, the more he felt that Chang Tianliang was arrested by the people of the Anti-Rebellion Committee. Xue Ning said that although Chang Tianliang did some things that made people unhappy when he was the president of the Chamber of Commerce, everyone understood how crucial the loan business he did with Regiment Commander Lu was to help annihilate Brigade Commander Feng's security brigade, so the people of the Anti-Rebellion Committee would not embarrass him. "Maybe it's Hang Jiufeng who has nothing to do, so let's ask him to tell the story!" The result was really right for Xue Ning. He went to the door of the chapel to inquire, and the sentry was still in the jungle with her, and he didn't leave the door for Chang Tianliang at night, and he was careful that Zhang Langzhong's ghost touched into the house and slept on a pillow with her. The sentinels did not let Hebian enter, and the anti-rebellion committee invited the people of the art troupe to eat meat and drink wine. Fortunately, it didn't take long for me to hear the sound of storytelling. The lotus side is down-to-earth, Chang Niangniang is still not at ease, the drum beat at dawn is a little wrong, not at all like Dong Chongli's only apprentice, the drumstick is hard, the drum is also hard, it is simply a knife-to-knife, gun-to-gun war and killing.

The long-haired army, occupied the south of the Yangtze River, and made Nanjing Tianjing. The men's and women's halls were also built, and couples could not sleep on pillows. But there is Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, who points out the female champion during the day, sleeps in the same bed at night, and also has the lewd sister Hong Xuanjiao, and then there are thirty-six beauties, all of whom are called Wang Niang. Later, there was arrogance and lasciviousness, and there were murders such as hemp soldiers in front, the Jianghuai and Yellow River were all bleeding, and the long-haired northern expedition to the outskirts of Beijing. Suddenly killed the king of the monk county, captured the thief Lin Fengxiang, and Ling Chi was executed in Beijing. Zeng Guofan, in Hunan, heard that Jiangxi was coming to report an emergency, and the Hunan and Chu soldiers bravely sent out to fight. Fight Xiangtan, restore Wuchang, desperately Hunan army to feel the world, the three armies to Jiujiang.

The next morning, Xue Lan copied the short essay written by Liu Zimo into two copies on white paper as usual. Seeing that there was nothing else to do at home, he got on his bicycle and headed for the Middle Boundary Ridge. She wrapped her face and neck tightly with a white woolen scarf to withstand the cold, wet cold. As usual, when she arrived at Zhongjieling, Xue Lan shook the bell on her bicycle twice, tore off yesterday's weather forecast from the mud-plastered wall, and looked back to see that the paste stored in someone else's house had not yet been delivered. "Ermao, you guy, are you stealing my paste again! I saw it, take it, it's raining, I still have to go to the soup shop! After Xue Lan screamed a few times, a bottle flew out from behind the door and landed on the grass pile next to it.

"If it's broken, you'll have to pay for it!" Xue Lan said deliberately frightened.

Unexpectedly, someone scolded in a low voice behind the door: "Dog landlord!" ”

Xue Lan suddenly understood what had changed, and without saying a word, she picked up the bottle and smeared some paste on the wall, and then pasted the weather forecast for the day.

Leaving Zhongjieling and walking back, the children who hid in the bed and slept in the bed due to the cold weather in the big and small walls along the way got up one after another, and only a few children were still chasing after the bicycles as in the past. Xue Lan deliberately slowed down the speed of the car, so that the child who ran in front of him could jump up and sit on the shelf behind the car. After a period of silence, the children in the distance suddenly shouted: "Come down, be careful that the dog landlord eats you and doesn't spit out the bones!" The kid in the back of the car really jumped to the ground and ran back into the mound without looking back.

When the front foot of the cold wave arrives, the rain that will follow the back foot is still hovering in the air, and the situation of the Xue family has changed greatly. As soon as Xue Lan arrived at the entrance of the street, a county greeted her and asked her to hand over the bicycle. Yixian made it very clear that it was not to borrow, but to hand it over and hand it over to him. Where would Xue Lan agree, in the midst of the entanglement, Sisi and the thread ran over together: "After you go out in the morning, the people from the Anti-Rebellion Committee will come to the door to raid the house." Not a single tile is allowed to be left in the Xue family's things, and all of them must be distributed to the poor. This car should be handed over to a county as soon as possible, otherwise it will be taken by the magistrate of Yuzi County and given to the actresses of the art troupe. ”

Xue Lan still didn't believe it, and Sisi and Xianxian said that if the Xue family was not copied, they would be responsible for asking a county to return the bicycle.

The cold rain that accompanied the cold wave fell at the right time. Xue Lan, who lost her bike, walked alone to her home. The closer you are to home, the more people there are on the street. The ears were full of angry voices, those poor people who had received benefits from the Xue family really seemed to be enlightened, and they were talking about it, and they couldn't imagine that Liu Zimo, who was full of knowledge, was like a poisonous snake, and kept saying that he wanted to give away the good land for nothing, but in fact, he helped Xue Ning to remember the change of heaven and wait for the opportunity to take revenge on the class.

The people on the street didn't talk to Xue Lan, and all the words were spoken to Xue Lan. Only Dong Chongli hurriedly walked over and deliberately greeted Xue Lan loudly: "I came up with the idea of letting others put fingerprints on the receipt, and I have already explained to the Anti-Rebellion Committee, and I should have a share in the accountability." But they just couldn't listen to it, so they insisted on reading the receipts that didn't have and reading them backwards. I'm not afraid, someone has to tell the truth. I have a certificate written by Mr. Fu himself, as long as he does not use the knife and gun, he can be allowed to shake his lips and puff his tongue without being convicted for his words. Mr. Fu said in the past that there are only three people who are really good for the gate of heaven, one is in the independent brigade, one is outside the independent brigade, and one is neither in the independent brigade nor outside the independent brigade. The first person is himself, the second person is Grandma Mei, Xue Ning, or Mr. Liu, etc., and the third person is me. If you hear it clearly, immediately go to the anti-rebellion committee and report it truthfully. Even Zhang Langzhong remembers my storytelling, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, how many heroes came out, why did the same disappear in the end, just because they violated the rules of heaven: the first hero in the world can't beat the second best man in the world! Li Yuanba didn't listen, he didn't have to think about things with his brain, he had to face his ass up, and he used this kind of thing that only shit and fart to make decisions instead of his brain, and killing Yuwen Chengdu was equivalent to asking for his own Qingqing's life. ”

Dong Chongli, who has always been calm, made a lot of noise on the street, which made people feel very abnormal. The magistrate of Yuzi County, who was talking to the actresses in the White Bird Garden, couldn't listen to it and ran out and asked him to stop immediately. Dong Chongli not only did not listen, but used all his storytelling skills, and accused the county magistrate of Yuzi in frustration of not knowing the situation at Tianmen at all. The one who knows the people at Tianmen best is Fu Langxi, so he named Hang Jiufeng to be the prison warden first, and then the director of the public security bureau, and when the anti-rebellion movement passes, he will definitely be transferred to do other things! There is also Duan Sanguo, other people can't even escape the death penalty when they are the chief of security in the national **, but he has a prosperous official fortune and becomes the deputy county magistrate, because he believes in a different kind of loyalty when he is a person. The Xue family is different, for Fu Langxi, the Xue family is a dream, when there was a riot at the earliest, the Xue family was a nightmare, and it slowly changed, just look at Fu Langxi's expression in front of Grandma Mei and Xue Ning, you can understand that there is a kind of sweet dream in his heart. Dong Chongli dared to bet with the county magistrate that everything in front of him was done for nothing, and when he turned around, Fu Langxi gave an order, it should be the Xue family's things, no one can take them, and if they take them, they will have to be sent back in disgrace.

Dong Chongli, who was presumptuous, made the county magistrate of Yuzi scruples. He was hesitating about whether to punish Dong Chongli, when his cousin Yuan rushed over with a wine jug and said again and again: "Someone wants to harm Mr. Dong and puts cinnabar in the wine, and Mr. Dong drinks it in a daze, so he will say such crazy things." ”

The magistrate didn't believe it, so he held the spout in his mouth and took a big sip: "Don't use cinnabar to scare people, aren't I good-I want to drink again!" As he spoke, the county magistrate's eyes changed, and he stared at the actresses as if no one was around, "My words count, I want to say it again, my words count." ”

The tongue of the county magistrate suddenly turned into a snake letter, and he spoke very fast, and he even danced with his hands to paint, clearly saying that he wanted to use Xue Ning's women's bicycle as a prop for acting to the actresses of the art troupe. The magistrate of the county still half understood in his heart, turned around and hid in the chapel, and then took the guards and rode on a white horse and left the gate of heaven.

As soon as the county magistrate left, Dong Chongli also calmed down. He asked Xue Lan to bring a message to his family, but he blamed himself for not reading Xiaohua's diary thoroughly, so he made a mistake, thinking that as long as the Xue family gave the land to the poor, everything would be fine. The bell has to be tied to the bell, this matter will not end here, he will continue to study until he finds a way that can make the Xue family and everyone really live a peaceful life. As for the current situation, there is only one way: tell Fu Langxi as soon as possible, with Fu Langxi's personality, he will not ignore the affairs of the Xue family.

The art troupe had to perform elsewhere, but Dong Chongli didn't take his cousin Yuan. Cousin Yuan didn't want to live in the county seat, if the silk shop couldn't be opened, she could also go to the weather station to help Liu Zimo. Cousin Yuan thinks that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, whether it is to go through a procedure or change the account, it is the receipt that is said, so that Liu Zimo will not be tied to the river beach and shot at the back of the head. As long as Liu Zimo is here, he can't do anything else, as long as Liu Zimo continues to run the weather station, he needs someone to help. Dong Chongli recognized Cousin Yuan's plan, and when he got through the most difficult days, he would come back and have a solemn talk with Liu Zimo about Cousin Yuan's future.

As soon as this side calmed down, there was a commotion in a county again. Lin Dayu asked a county to hand over Xuelan's women's bicycle, and then distribute it uniformly, give it to him when it should be given, and give it to him when it shouldn't, he won't have a share. How could a county listen to this, without waiting for Lin Dayu to finish speaking, he pushed him into the street, and persuaded him that it was better not to lift the bicycle again, annoyed, carefully press his head on the anvil, and knock down those troubled teeth one by one. Last night's drama really mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, and those young people who were about the same age in the same county were even more daring, shouting together to break into Jiufeng Tower and snatch the women's bicycles out. Yixian only sneered at the door and did not make any further moves. Yizhen, who had been silent for a long time on the second floor, was annoyed, and he didn't even bother to go down the stairs, jumped out of the window on the second floor, and smashed it on the heads of the young people who dared to stand up. At this time, Hang Jiufeng also came back, he passed through the crowd, didn't say a word, still had a smile on his face, patted Yizhen's shoulder with his left hand, touched Yixian's head with his right hand, and went straight to the gate. Some people who were very energetic just now became wilted eggplants in the blink of an eye. The northerners, who were the head of the armed forces department in the district office, also came forward to stop them, asking everyone to beware of the Xue family's treacherous plan to kill the three soldiers.

Xue Lan was not detained. The anti-rebellion committee wanted to write well, and she kept a detailed account of the confiscated things in her home. "The guys in my store all write and keep accounts, and they are always bright!" "Let you remember, you remember, where is so much nonsense." The people of the anti-rebellion committee did not let Xue Lan get to the bottom of it. Since Dong Chongli said those words, Xue Lan has calmed down a lot, others are reporting the number of objects in their ears, Xue Lan is writing with a brush, busy until midnight, and finally has a result. Xue Lan read the written account from beginning to end, from the twelve rooms in the main house to the four gold teeth, a total of more than 200 large and small, thousands of pieces. After Xue Lan finished reading, it made the eldest family breathe a sigh of relief.

"Will it be divided overnight, or will it be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Someone couldn't wait to ask, regardless of Xue Lan being on the side.

Lin Dayu hurriedly asked Xue Lan to leave and go to meet her family. Xue Ning and Liu Zimo took Xue Hong to live in the weather station temporarily, and the rest of the guys, Wang Niangniang and other employees were all dispersed by the anti-rebellion committee, and only Chang Niangniang was still with her. Because of the relationship of abiding by righteousness, others cannot come to be brutal, so they can only persuade each other with good words. Chang Niangniang said in one sentence that Chang Shouyi's riot was voluntary, and it was also voluntary for her to do things for the Xue family. Xue Lan had already fallen asleep, and seeing that Xue Lan was safe and sound, Xue Ling and Liu Zimo also found a place to sleep and dozed off. Only Chang Niangniang is still anxious: "The family business has been taken away, and you are reluctant to sleep less!" "Only Xue Lan can still talk to Chang Niangniang. has been a housekeeper for many years, and Chang Niangniang, the background of the Xue family, knows best. In her opinion, the anti-rebellion committee does not need to let those who see the wind and rain and run behind with all their hearts, and they have to ask Xue Lan to help keep accounts, and they must have a crooked calculation in their hearts. Especially those northerners, who go around all day long, an ordinary rich family in the south can be worthy of the rich people in the north. In that way, he obviously wanted to find an opportunity to start, and gave out some gold, silver, jewelry, silk and fur to fill his own pockets first.

At this time, Cousin Yuan knocked quietly on the door outside, called the two out, and returned to his place lightly. Through the crack in the wall, I could hear the Ziyang Pavilion across the wall, Hang Jiufeng was arguing with the northerner who was the head of the armed forces department in the district office:

"The Xue family's money has nothing to do with you, it is said that the Xue family exploits, and the victims are also the locals, and it is not the turn of those irrelevant people thousands of miles away to share the gold and silver treasures of the Xue family. It is even more wrong to divide the property privately from the poor at the gates of heaven. I let Xue Lan keep the accounts, but I don't allow anyone to cheat from it. The three gold bars were only reported as one, 3,300 yuan, and only 1,300 were counted, and such a good bicycle was confiscated and given to the county magistrate of Yuzi - such a list was published, others did not know, and the Xue family could not hide it. You are northerners, you can pat your ass and walk away if you say a word, and we guys will have to be laughed at by the Xue family from generation to generation. ”

"I have no relatives and no reason at the gate of heaven, and I desperately beat away the horse harrier, and I should get some straw sandal money."

"You go and ask, who at the gate of heaven said that you were invited, if it weren't for Political Commissar Fu accommodating you, and you were not allowed to set up an independent brigade anymore, would you still need outsiders to fight horse harriers?"

"It seems that your hatred for the Xue family is fake, and your feet will be revealed at a critical time."

"The most fake is you! You came to Tianmen to suppress the rebellion, in fact, you want to take the sheep by the hand and let the desperate Xue Lan take refuge in you! The newspapers have long criticized that some people divorced the yellow-faced women of the proletariat and fell in love with the young lady and aunt of the exploiting class after only three days in the city. The people at the gate of heaven are not men, and it can be seen that as soon as some people see Xue Lan, their eyes begin to appear with small hands. ”

Somebody's pistol went off, and everyone on this side of the wall was startled. Xue Lan didn't want to listen, so she returned to the weather station and lay on her stomach on the table, right to sleep.

Suddenly woke up after sleeping well, Xue Lan opened her eyes and heard Liu Zimo roaring outside the door. Liu Zimo is still the same as in the past, and after getting up, he must go to the observation room on Xiaodong Mountain to have a look. The northerners who were guarding the door stopped him from leaving. Liu Zimo retreated into the house, sat sullenly for a while, and suddenly ran to the door in a rage, pointed at the nose of the northerner, and scolded him for not understanding science, not understanding civilization, studying the mysteries of weather changes and meteorology is not a war, the more people on the other side are killed, the faster victory will come. Meteorology relies on the perseverance of grinding needles through iron rods, and only by persevering meticulously over time can it be possible to succeed. People like this who hope to obtain wealth by robbing their homes and dividing other people's floating wealth can only carry the Bodhisattva to kowtow to the scorching sun and beg for rain in the end.

Liu Zimo's anger attracted many onlookers, and everyone was surprised. How could the northerners, who never leave their guns all day long, tolerate this kind of arrogance, pointing to the person in front of him and asking Liu Zimo to ask, who has taken his weather forecast seriously. Liu Zimo didn't ask, but said in a more fierce tone, if he is not allowed to continue the meteorological research for decades, then ask them to simply shoot him, and not to damage his personality so much.

In front of those people, anything Liu Zimo said was nonsense, and the shock it generated was all in the hearts of Xue Ling and Xue Lan.

"Today's observations are lacking due to the catastrophe of civilization." After Liu Zimo wrote this text painfully on the weather log, he rushed to the door again and scolded sharply, if he really wanted to let the poor people at the gate of heaven be the masters, then he should understand that an unexpected rainstorm destroyed his living home; A major drought without prevention, drying is the source of one's own life.

Liu Zimo finally got an answer that moved everyone who heard it: The Anti-Rebellion Committee just wants Liu Zimo to show his true form, and the more hideous his face is, the better.

The cold rain brought by the cold wave is still floating in the air, and it refuses to fall for a long time. If there is a sun, the house should be very bright at this time. Xue Lan, the only one who can enter and exit freely, heard from her cousin Yuan that after Xue Lan left last night, Hang Jiufeng reconciled with those northerners, and reached an agreement with each other that his understanding of the Xue family's crimes should also increase his weight from the aspects of imperialist lackeys and accomplices, and decided to immediately send a town to the county seat on horseback, and call the provincial and town anti-committee to ask for instructions on the next move. Cousin Yuan didn't say what the town was asking for, and when questioned by Xue Lan, Cousin Yuan only said that they were implementing a new policy that they had to implement.

Xue Lan's scalp tingled when she heard this, and in the new policy, only if you need to kill someone, will you ask the Provincial Town Anti-Committee for instructions.

"If you don't report to Francie, it's too late. Mr. Dong said that Fu Langxi would definitely not sit idly by and ignore the affairs of the Xue family. You go to a county, get your bike back, and also go to the county town to make a call. A county will give it to you, he likes you. My eyes are not wrong to see men. You have to listen to me, see a county, don't say any cutscenes, don't play the song at the door, ask him straight to the point, if he really likes you, if he really likes it, let him push the bicycle to the gazebo, where you wait for him. When the time comes, I will hide behind the gazebo, you mile, say more nice things to seduce him, and I will surprise him with a stick from behind, and you will ride your bicycle and run to the county seat. As long as Fu Langxi is found, let alone a county, even Hang Jiufeng will become a few leftovers on the edge of the bowl. ”

The Xue family's floating fortune has been announced. The front of the chapel was crowded with people.

One, two, eight

Xue Lan, who walked into Jiufeng Tower with a breath of breath, said, "I'm waiting for you in the pavilion!" ”

Xue Lan thought she was going to say everything. When I arrived at the gazebo, I was blown by the colder wind by the river, and I remembered that I didn't ask Yixian if he liked him. Cousin Yuan was in a hurry, Jiang Taigong, who was fishing with a straight hook, waited by the Wei River for decades, even if Xue Lan had such good luck, he didn't have so much time. Just as Cousin Yuan was trying to persuade Xue Lan to go again, a red light flashed on the left bank, and a county pushed the women's bicycle and walked unhurriedly.

At the moment when the cold wave was prevalent, the pavilion on the left bank became a wind tunnel, and Xue Lan faced the north wind and boldly looked at the county approaching him step by step. Yixian looked very generous, his eyes were cast on the gazebo early, his feet did not slow down, and his mouth was still humming "majestic, high-spirited". The round cousin, who was hiding behind the gazebo, couldn't help but laugh. A county in the upwind direction couldn't hear it clearly, thinking that it was Xue Lan laughing, and suddenly there was a big mess.

"I know you want a bike." Before he finished speaking, he first tripped his right foot on the pedal of the bicycle, and then his left trouser leg was caught in the chain again, and he stood at the door of the gazebo and couldn't move. Xue Lan hurriedly walked over, squatted in front of a county, held the bicycle pedal and shook it a few times, and withdrew the curled trouser legs. The moment Xue Lan straightened up, her forehead almost touched Yixian's chin. Xue Lan not only didn't retreat, but when Yixian wanted to retreat, she also stepped forward and pulled him hard. The round cousin who came out from behind the gazebo, gritted his teeth, raised the big stick in his hand high, and was about to smash it against Yixian's head, when Xue Lan suddenly pounced on Yixian and hugged Yixian, shouting: "Don't do this!" ”

The round cousin stood behind a county, holding a wooden stick and didn't know what to do. Yixian turned around and snatched the wooden stick: "You can still beat my stuffy stick like you?" ”

"If you can't fight, you have to fight, otherwise you won't be able to save Xue Ling and Mr. Liu." The round cousin was unwilling.

A county thought that Xue Lan and Cousin Yuan wanted to tie up their own tickets. He said: "Not to mention those northerners, Lin Dayu's heart alone is as hard as iron, and he will not exchange the Xue family for me." ”

"We're not going to do anything like that, we just want to knock you out and take the bike." Xue Lan will plan with Cousin Yuan's method and plan to report to Fu Langxi.

Yixian patted the bicycle contemptuously: "A woman is a woman, there is such a dazzling thing, you can pass the checkpoint on the road?" ”

The round cousin who has always had an idea is also moved, look at the east, look at the west, the six gods have no master, I don't know what to do. Xue Lan was extremely calm, as if she had an idea in her heart, but it was not easy to say it, and her lips and teeth were already red before she opened her face. She called her cousin to her side and whispered in a low voice. Listen, Cousin Round is also happy.

"The people of the Anti-Rebellion Committee won't make things difficult for you, will they?" Round cousin asked a county.

Yixian didn't want to think about it: "The people who dare to make things difficult for me haven't come out yet." ”

"That's good, Xue Lan is shy, and asks me to invite you to sit here for her." The round cousin moved her ass to the bicycle shelf, "She rides in front, you sit in the back, and this way down will make many men envious to death!" ”

Yixian's face also turned red: "I'm very heavy, she can't carry it." ”

"You haven't been to Wuhan, you haven't seen that the outside has long been civilized. Before Emperor Xuantong abdicated, the women of Xian'anfang rode bicycles and let the men sit in the back. Xue Lan is the savior of the family today, and you don't need to pity the jade. When she really can't ride, you can also jump down and hold on to the shelves to help push for a while. ”

The round cousin said and did it for a county. It was not easy to persuade a county to the shelves. Xue Lan, who had already ridden the bicycle, stepped on the pedal hard, and the two set off.

When I arrived at the soup shop, a county sitting on the shelf, I spoke. A county wants Xue Lan not to be afraid, when someone intercepts it, just rush forward, with him, those guys don't dare to shoot. As soon as the fiery women's bicycle appeared, it caused a sensation in the soup shop. The street that had to be crossed was narrow, and a county stuck its head out from behind Xue Lan, shouting at those who stood in the way to get out of the way immediately. Just as he was about to drive out of the street, several people with rifles suddenly appeared. Yixian patted Xue Lan on the back and urged her to rush forward. Xue Lan didn't listen, the other party slammed the rifle sideways, and the bicycle stopped.

Yixian jumped to the ground in annoyance and said viciously: "Good dogs don't get in the way!" ”

The person with the rifle didn't expect that it would be a county sitting on the bicycle shelf, and after hesitating for a while, someone said: "Maybe a person's surname is Hang, and the egg will weigh half a catty?" ”

Yixian replied: "Whether it is heavy or not, it depends on whether his eyes grow on both sides of his nose or are born under the eyes of the navel." ”

A county asked Xue Lan to ride a bicycle and continue to drive, and those people could only vent in the back: "The big eggs of the Hang family don't even eat donkeys and wolves, they don't even smell good!" "Suppress and rebel, if you don't suppress it, you can't rebel, and the women of the Xue family will let people ride casually!"

From the soup shop down, every time I pass a big wall or town, a county will come down in advance and walk in front of the snow blue. People who had heard some bicycle rumors chased him and asked him if such a good bicycle would be escorted to the county town for the actresses of the art troupe to perform new plays. A county asked rhetorically in the same way: "The art troupe still lacks a performance **, do your women want to go?" ”

There was still half an hour before it got dark, and the cold rain that was caught in the cold wave finally fell. I had just wet Xue Lan's chest, and the rain stopped falling. Xue Lan looked at the military division ridge in front of her a few times: "It's going to snow!" ”

A county said, "Do you want to find a place to spend the night?" ”

Xue Lan said: "Heavy snow covers the mountains, and it will also crush the telephone lines. ”

When the county understood, when passing by the town below the mountain, he went to the local town anti-committee to borrow a flashlight, and then said: "Let's go quickly!" ”

Junshi Ridge was as steep as ever, and it was impossible to ride a bicycle. Xue Lan held the dragon head in front, and Yixian pushed hard in the back. After going up the mountain, I met the only person who was the son of the owner of the Maoji silk cloth shop in the county seat. Boss Wang's son didn't know a county, nor did he know the situation of the Xue family, so he never opened his mouth and burst into tears: Boss Wang, who has always been good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, also suffered this time. When he heard others say that the Mao Kee Silk Cloth Shop had committed bribery and tax evasion, he quickly admitted his mistake. I thought it would be fine if I paid some fines truthfully, but I thought that those people changed three times a day, and if they paid 1,000, they would ask for 10,000, and then 10,000, and then 100,000.

"I'm in a hurry, I just want to borrow money. My father was locked up for half a month, and all the things that could be realized at home were taken out, and most of the people who could help near the county town were unable to protect themselves, and there was really no way, so my father said that a few solid families in the Xihe area could borrow some money to come out, but it really didn't work, so he went to the gate of heaven. ”

The night was hazy, and Xue Lan asked Boss Wang's son to be too anxious, and after going down the mountain, he would find a place to live first, and then go to find those world friends when it was dawn.

"Boss Wang is right, Tianmen is located in a remote area, so there is a fluke of the Xue family. If others have difficulties, don't force them, and they won't take the wrong road along the West River, just like a matter of course, when the time comes, they will go to my house. It was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers when he spoke. The two continued to walk up the Junshi Ridge.

Yixian turned on the flashlight: "People are crazy, you still lie to him." ”

Xue Lan said: "No, I just turned my own dream into someone else's. ”

A county said: "You can't even save the people in your family, how can you explain?" ”

Xue Lan said: "You are willing to help, of course I will make my wish come true." ”

A county said: "I can only send one, and you have to rely on yourself as soon as you enter the county." ”

Xue Lan said: "This makes others want to dream, and you hurriedly send pillows." ”

Yixian suddenly had something on his mind, and silently climbed up half a mile before he spoke: "To tell the truth, the Xue family has really never hated our Hang family?" ”

"Are you saying that you have to kill people, and you have to step on them so that the other party can't get up before you call hatred?"

"Like your family, pretending to be hypocrites, making tricks, and releasing dark arrows, it should also be hated."

"I also have a truth, it was my grandmother who said that the most cruel hatred is to love the person who must be hated."

"Your grandmother, she likes to say something unclear, how you look at it when you have nothing to do, you are a good person, once something happens, it becomes what Senator Wang said, half is a demon, half is an ear and a mouth, a king."

"You have to read more. The ancients have long said that love begets hate, and hate begets love. ”

The county that followed behind suddenly increased its strength, and the bicycle that climbed up suddenly became much faster. Yixian didn't speak, and Xue Lan didn't speak, and a sense of shyness suddenly arose in her heart. When Xue Lan couldn't help but look back, Yixian suddenly spoke again: "Xue Lan!" Don't be afraid, something is wrong around you. It was the first time that a county had called Xue Lan's name so clearly, "There should be a lot of wild beasts on this mountain, and after walking for so long, I haven't heard them scream." The same will not be the case when the tiger comes, I am afraid that there are more powerful beasts hiding nearby. ”

Xue Lan was still scared, and asked tremblingly, "Is it a donkey wolf?" ”

"There are only donkeys and wolves. The wind was blowing down from the mountains, and the donkey wolf could only hide halfway up the mountain, or I would smell it. Don't be afraid, it's useless to be afraid. Listen to me, grab your flashlight, push your bike and brisk away. There's another mile to the top of the mountain, and then you can ride your bike, even if some of the downhills are too steep. Don't stop no matter what you hear. can run into the county seat in one breath, and never use two breaths. Although Yixian said in a hurry, there was no confusion in his words, "Don't worry about me, there is a big tree over there, I climbed it a few years ago to play, as soon as you go, I will go up to that tree, and then cut my wrist, squeeze some more blood on the ground, and attract the donkey wolf." No matter how fierce the donkey wolf is, as long as he can't get up the tree, he can't help me. ”

I'm afraid to be afraid, Xue Lan still doesn't want to leave a county like this. Before he could say anything, the eyes of several green donkeys and wolves flashed on the opposite mountain. Yixian stuffed the flashlight to Xue Lan, and at the same time pushed the bicycle and ran violently for a while, taking advantage of this inertia, Xue Lan ran to the top of the mountain in one go. By the time she got on her bicycle with her feet off the ground, the leading donkey wolf was already howling fiercely on the hillside not far away. The night was so deep, the road was so tortuous and steep, Xue Lan rode her bicycle down the slope, the only accident was because she didn't have time to turn and collided with the big tree next to the tree, causing the middle tooth to fall out of a corner, and there was a crescent-like scar on the palm of her left hand. Xue Lan, who was galloping all the way, kept shouting: "The donkey wolf is coming!" The donkey wolf wants to eat a county! Hurry up and go to Junshi Ridge to save people! ”

The gate of the county town is no longer open during the day and closed at night. Xue Lan, who drove straight in, first alarmed Duan Sanguo. Duan Sanguo woke up Yizhen, who was sleeping in another bed. In a short time, the county squadron responsible for defending the territory set off in a hurry with three machine guns. A town in a state of impatience was also crowded into this heavily armed team.

Xue Lan was at the post and telecommunications office, waiting until dawn to connect the phone at Fu Langxi's house. At this time, there were bursts of gunfire from the direction of the military division. Ziyu, who answered the phone, asked in a daze, "Who?" Xue Lan only listened to the same fierce gunfire as when the Second Field Army was besieging the Security Brigade, and did not respond immediately, Ziyu didn't ask a word more, and hung up the phone with a click. Xue Lan had to re-register and register, and when she dialed it again, a female operator who spoke the Wuhan dialect impatiently counted Xue Lan, don't call if you can't call, throw more money around, beware of becoming the target of the five antis.

This time, Ziyu said again: "Who?" ”

Xue Lan didn't dare to delay, and blurted out: "It's me!" ”

For a long time after that, Xue Lan could no longer speak a sentence, only howling and crying. Duan Sanguo, who accompanied her, had to take the phone and tell Ziyu about the situation here. Ziyu didn't answer, but said on the other side of the phone: "For so many years, it's the first time I've seen a woman from the Xue family lose my temper!" While constantly shouting: "Old man! Old man! Come and answer the phone! ”

When Fu Langxi spoke on the other side of the phone, Xue Lan was still choking: "I'm Xue Lan, and the phone at the gate of heaven is broken." In order to call you in the county seat, a county was trapped on the military division ridge by a donkey wolf. ”

"I know you have a bicycle that is too good to be good, and you are so brave that you actually rode it and took a county for more than a hundred miles." Fu Langxi continued quietly, "Grandma Mei died a pity, it would be good to live for another ten years, twenty years at most, and the gift that Senator Wang wanted to give at the beginning will be enjoyed." When you return to the gate of heaven, you will tell Mr. Liu this for me. Everyone else is easy to say, but only Mr. Liu is the most reassuring to me. ”

Fu Langxi didn't say a word about anything else, and when he finished speaking, he handed the phone to Ziyu. Ziyu is most concerned about the donkey wolf, and she is afraid that a county will really be eaten by the donkey wolf. If something like that really happened, Hang Jiufeng would not go crazy but also go crazy. Ziyu finally said that Mo saw that Fu Langxi did not express a certain attitude towards the situation of the Xue family, with years of understanding, Fu Langxi would not only manage, but also manage it to the end, so as not to make mistakes in the future. Ziyu didn't say it explicitly, it's not the Xue family, it's not Grandma Mei, how can Fu Langxi live to this day, the same meaning is all in the tone of his voice.

The gunfire in the direction of Junshi Ridge gradually faded away. Before the county squadron returned to the city, an urgent telegram from the provincial people** clearly and accurately instructed: "The telegram sent by your county at about 9 o'clock yesterday morning requesting permission to execute Liu Zimo will not be approved after study, and should be released immediately." Localities at the county, district, and township levels should pay full attention to the achievements of Liu Zimo and his family in various historical periods in the past, and do a good job in persuading those who have resisting feelings. In the future, you can refer to your own comrades to take care of them, and they must not be classified as dictatorships and repression, and please report on the implementation of the situation in a timely manner. When Duan Sanguo retold it to Xue Lan, his memory was not very accurate, but the content was not biased.

"Could it be that Mr. Fu has really made up his mind to suppress the snow?" Duan Sanguo's suspicion was quickly confirmed from the other side.

When the county squadron triumphed, a county covered with the smell of donkeys and wolves was carried into the county hospital on a stretcher. The doctors who had diagnosed a county invariably believed that his condition was fine, and that he would be fine after taking a dose of sedatives and getting a good night's sleep. Yixian, who hid in the tree for half the night, returned to the ground and asked in the first sentence: "Xue Lan is okay?" "Ichizhen always regretted that he shouldn't have nodded for the sake of snow blue. After learning that Xue Lan was safe, a county collapsed like a sand bank hollowed out by a big flood. Duan Sanguo later regretted that he should not have accommodated a town, but should have let Xue Lan come to satisfy the only desire in Yixian's eyes.

From the moment a county was rescued, Xue Lan waited outside the hospital, and as long as someone came out of it, she would desperately come forward to inquire. A county fell asleep, a county woke up, a county drank a few sips of water, took a few pills, and Xue Lan had to ask clearly.

Around the hospital wall, Xue Lan kept calling the name of a county. The response was all a town's curse: "The Hang family is not dead, don't pretend to be a ghost here!" ”

On the afternoon of the first day in the hospital, a strange color appeared on the county's body. Some doctors say it's yellow, others say it's green. Looking at it again overnight, the doctors who had previously thought it was yellow did not argue. The green color that spreads all over the county is getting darker and darker, reminiscent of diluted bile. Across the courtyard wall, Xue Lan anxiously thought that the donkey wolves must have had a terrifying act that others did not understand, which frightened the lonely and helpless county. A town witnessed the donkey wolves who were accustomed to the wind and clouds, uncharacteristically trapped a county on that big tree, and from the time they broke up with Xue Lan, they did not disperse for a moment, until the machine guns, mortars and platoon guns of the county squadron rained down, and the unkilled donkey wolves fled one after another. A town that is inseparable from a county will never agree with Xuelan's statement, the men of the Hang family can't be frightened, and the sky won't fall, and it is definitely not the Hang family's species that can be intimidated. The doctors who thought that they would be fine after resting for a while were divided into two points of view in their confusion, and the doctors who took the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" as their teacher verified that it is possible for people to be frightened from all aspects of meridians, qi and blood. Doctors who started with "Anatomy" objected, arguing that as long as there was no external force, no organ in the human body could burst on its own.

If there is no clothes to cover, a naked county is already like a green worm.

On the first day of dying in a county, Ah Cai and the second boss of Chunmanyuan took a car from Wuhan to Bailian Town by the Bailian River. The second boss rode for a while, and felt tired, so he changed to the back, and Ah Cai continued to ride, and finally penetrated the long dark night and came to the side of a county that had entered a dying state.

The sudden appearance of Ah Cai made the ban on Xue Lan self-defeating. The moment Xue Lan showed up at the bedside, Yixian smiled. Xue Lan leaned down and said, "I won't let you die!" One county laughed again. The green smile that is rare in the world is irreversibly frozen.

Xue Lan sadly went to Duan Sanguo's residence and took down the pleasant bell from the Blue Antelope brand women's bicycle.

On the way back to the hospital, Xue Lan ran into Boss Wang's son head-on. Before she could speak, Boss Wang's son said that his father had never missed people, and when he went to the gate of heaven, the Xue family's property had just been unsealed and returned. Xue Ling and Liu Zimo still didn't say a word, and gave him all the gold and silver cash at home, and said that they didn't need to pay it back. His father has been released, he said that what the Xue family borrowed is not money, it is the mandate of heaven, to repay the mandate of heaven, you have to rely on the will of heaven, and the will of heaven will make it back, and the heavens will not be gracious, and the Wang family will not be able to repay this debt for generations.

Xue Lan gently shook the bell in her hand with a sound. Walking further, Xue Lan ran into Hang Jiufeng, who had just arrived at the county seat. Hearing that a county was dead, Hang Jiufeng hummed heavily, and it didn't take long for him to mutter to himself: "Lao Tzu has been raising him as his own for so many years, but in the end he was still scared to death." If it wasn't for the Hang family, he shouldn't have entered the door of the Hang family in the first place, eating iron sand and discus, how could mongrels and wild seeds do it! Hang Jiufeng understood that the bell in Xue Lan's hand was given to a county for burial. He said that fortunately, a county is not a Hang family, and if it is a Hang family, it will be difficult to settle the account. Hang Jiufeng, who seemed to be relaxed, did not show his true colors until the end, and said two unusual words one after another.

"The Xue family grew up listening to the soul bell."

"In my opinion, it's not red paint on your bike, it's human blood."

One hundred and twenty-nine

On that day, the county squadron sent a squad of cavalry, and the leading instructor from time to time held his black wide-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the orders he announced were direct and forceful, and had a distinctly military character backed by force compared with the instructions of the people of the province who arrived a little later**. Under the supervision of the soldiers of the county squadron who rode horses and loaded guns, Hang Jiufeng could still resist to the end, and Lin Dayu, who was helpless, had to tear off the seal with the official seal of the Anti-Rebellion Committee with his own hands.

The instructor also said to Xue Ning and Liu Zimo: "The chief specially asked me to apologize to you on behalf of him, and it is not our policy problem that such a thing happened, but that some people have implemented a good policy crookedly." ”

Hang Jiufeng finally had a chance to express his dissatisfaction: "Which chief, you make it clear!" ”

The instructor said, "I know that in the past, this area was dominated by the Independent Brigade, and many people also called you the chief. Of course, the chief I am talking about today is not you. You are the chief of the public security bureau, and I can tell you that the chief is from the military sub-district. If you want to ask who the chief is, it is a military secret. ”

All in all, the instructor was not rude to Hang Jiufeng. As if he had a premonition that there was something more infuriating, Hang Jiufeng neither stopped nor cooperated, and only looked at these with strange eyes.

Xue Ling and Liu Zimo also did not have unusual words and deeds. The two of them left the White Sparrow Garden with Xuelei and returned to the Purple Sun Pavilion. Chang Niangniang and Cousin Yuan can't wait to vent all their emotions, others don't cry, they cry, others don't laugh, they laugh, others don't shout, others don't make them make trouble. Anyone who has participated in the conference on how to distribute the property of the Xue family, behind the regret of gaining and losing, is followed by a confusion that they have never had before, and they can't figure out whether this living drama should be seen as a tragedy or a comedy.

At this time, Boss Wang's son came. After listening to his bitterness, Liu Zimo immediately circled a few strokes on the flow account of Xue Lan's personal notes. Boss Wang's son shook his head and said it was not enough. Xue Ning took the pen and circled a few more places, and gave him all the gold, silver, jade and cash. Regarding the item of "four other dentures, whether they are real gold or gold-plated to be determined" in the end, Liu Zimo and Xue Ling both said that none of the four dentures were gold-plated, all were real gold, and they were taken out of her mouth before Xue Da Grandma committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. Boss Wang's son soon turned his eyes red with tears. The soldiers of the cavalry squad were also a little moved, and the instructor wearing glasses said in public that he couldn't figure it out when he received the order, thinking that the chief was showing favoritism. can give away the lost and recovered money, if such a person is not lenient, I am afraid that the West River, which flows for a long time, will also dry up in ten years.

On the second night of the arrival of the cavalry squad, the horses locked in the White Sparrow Garden neighed at the same time. Hearing that it was the donkey wolf coming, Chang Niangniang lay on the windowsill of the attic, and said to the donkey wolves who had rushed to the entrance of the street: "The people who carried out the rebellion are all in the small church, you go there, there is a lot of meat there, you eat it, and you will not be hungry for three years!" Hang Jiufeng and the others were still busy preparing weapons in the chapel, and the soldiers of the cavalry squad had already rushed out into the street. In the face of more than a dozen *** teams taking turns to strafe, the donkeys and wolves were not afraid of death, and rushed up one by one, preferring to be killed rather than one of them turned around and ran away.

Hang Jiufeng counted back and forth on the street. "So few, only about sixty?"

Cousin Yuan said: "This is from the military division ridge escaped, and came to seek revenge from the county squadron." ”

Hang Jiufeng's eyes widened: "Don't think that if you get married, you can interject everywhere!" ”

After the arrival of the donkey wolf, this was Hang Jiufeng's only one time. Hang Jiufeng was unwilling to be so inactive, so he used the excuse that he wanted to go to the county seat to deal with the official affairs of the Public Security Bureau, and took a look at a county by the way. All the people who witnessed Hang Jiufeng leading his horse and leaving the gate of heaven in a puff of smoke had a sense of foreboding that was born for him.

As soon as Hang Jiufeng left, Boss Wang's son also took the money gifted by the Xue family and rode a war horse with the smallest soldier on the way home.

Just after a night of calm at the gate of heaven, the news of the death of a county arrived. I want to believe that a county is really dead, but I don't think it's true. This overwhelmed emotion did not stabilize until the coffin that Ah Cai and Hang Jiufeng personally sent back to a county.

Chang Niangniang and Cousin Yuan resolutely regarded this as some kind of karma. It's an emotion in a state of privacy, and in front of Xue Ling and Liu Zimo, they behave much the same as the shock that is popular on the street. The only difference is that they think that if Zhang Langzhong is not shot, with his superb medical skills, a county will definitely be saved.

"Is a county really scared to death?"

"A man's body has three colors: blood is red, the water in the egg is white, and green bile. When a county dies, it is like a green worm, and the gall will run to the whole body when the bile is frightened. If you die in other ways, your body will be white. ”

"People with rotten noses also have green nose pus, and people with rotten lungs also spit green phlegm."

"Don't think crookedly when you're serious."

For the past few days, the people at the gate of heaven have been answering questions like this. For example, when she sees Lotus coming from her door, she will ask this question, and Lotus will answer in the same way. When Lotus stands in front of his house and sees the fine rice, the roles of the question and answer will be reversed, and the content of the speech will remain the same. Between Chang Niangniang and Cousin Yuan, this kind of role replacement situation can't help but happen. Since his surname is Hang, since he is a descendant of the Hang family, he should not be frightened in life or death. This is the consensus at the gate of heaven.

Ah Cai transported the corpse of a county back to the gate of heaven for burial, did not let firecrackers be set off, and sang poetry like Grandma Mei did when she died. The people of Tianmen, who were immersed in the cause of death in a county, did not care about this change, and everyone was keen to praise a county, daring to bite their own flesh and blood, and attract the bloodthirsty donkey wolf. The people at the gate of heaven don't care if the rescued person is Xue Lan or not, they only care about the matter itself. Only Hang Jiufeng thought that a county was a shameful death, but he didn't want to mention that Ah Cai and Inspector Deng pretended to be husband and wife back then, and there was a county.

When the county was put into the ground, Ah Cai, who had been crying silently, suddenly cried loudly in the direction of heaven until he fainted next to the mound that had just been erected. Hang Jiufeng, who attended the funeral as his father, stretched out his hand to help him, and Ah Cai woke up suddenly: "Take away your claws!" "It is very surprising that she treated Hang Jiufeng like this in front of everyone." It's all your fault, you killed a county! ”

Hang Jiufeng waved his hand aimlessly with his usual generosity towards Ah Cai: "You said it was me, and I said it was you!" You went to the world of flowers alone, and you had to play the tricks of the gate of heaven with self-righteousness, and write a letter to change a county with that dog egg bicycle. Your purpose has been accomplished, a great living man to go and be in the company of the dead! You're smart, you're smart, you're smart but you're smart! ”

It happened to be the first day of the lunar month. Unlike in previous years, those who had become landlords, rich peasants, or upper middle peasants in the division completely lost the mood of being busy with all things for the New Year early. On the contrary, those middle peasants, poor peasants or hired peasants who have turned over, as long as they have bacon, whether it is one piece or ten pieces, they all hang it in front of their homes. In the past, when you stood in front of the chapel, you could see at a glance that the people on the street were rich and the people on the street were poor. Today, the good houses of the rich on the streets are divided into several portions like sliced tofu, and the poor who are eligible to share are selected one by one, with as few as three poor families being assigned to a large house, and most by five poor families entering and exiting through a common gate. Counting the Xue family that has been divided on the books, there are only three untouched mansions, the second is the Jiufeng Building where Hang Jiufeng and Duan Sanguo's family live, and the third is the White Bird Garden that is still recorded in Ah Cai's name. The landlords and rich peasants who were swept out of the house were not even qualified to settle in the dilapidated houses vacated by the families of the millennials, carpenters, carpenters, tailors, and silk reelers. The poor craftsmen who are qualified to replace the rich are without exception the frustrated ones in the trade, and those skilled craftsmen, because of their prosperous business and considerable income, cannot afford this good thing of wrestling and collecting gold and silver treasures, so they complain in front of the new poor who are neighbors, and do not see that some people have bumped into shit luck, and in the long run may be poorer than before. Whether it's a carpenter, a carpenter, or something else, big or small, there must be a shop on the street to make face, otherwise who will go to whom! The craftsmen who did not benefit from the turn-over movement treated the new poor who suddenly lost their ability to live with a complex sense of sympathy, and it was the carpenter who persuaded his new neighbors to learn to play the ink bucket, the carpenter's who persuaded his new neighbors to learn to cook silkworm cocoons, and the new neighbors who knew how to reel silk to practice the knife. This group of people who have lost their wealth have all studied and thought about being reborn in a desperate place, and they can learn quickly, and after half a year, they will be able to establish themselves in all walks of life. Those who, by accident, had made themselves wander all day long in gardens and embroidery buildings, and as soon as they realized that their jobs might be taken away by the rich again, they hurriedly broke down the walls facing the street and installed small doors that were not commensurate with the size and imposing of the whole house, so that they could return to their old business. A small street no longer has the same division as it used to be, from top to bottom, everywhere is the same hectic.

Chang Tianliang, who did not get any benefits in the process of redistribution of property, lived a lonely life by telling stories at night. Ah Cai's return made him the busiest person on this street. Ah Cai handed over the White Bird Garden built by his father to Chang Tianliang. She wants Chang Tianliang to forget the joke that Fu Langxi told him to set up a bank after the establishment of the new regime, and use the weather station and the house occupied by her cousin Yuan to open a hostel that receives passers-by. Ah Cai didn't want any dividends, only demanded that there must be a storytelling every night in the hostel, and he could only talk about the "Dark Biography" about the rise and fall of the nation carefully taught by Dong Chongli. For this reason, Ah Cai asked a stonemason to carve a stone tablet to stand in the pavilion outside the town, and the inscription was written by her own will:

"There is the White Bird Garden Hotel in the town more than 1,000 steps away, the cost of accommodation is fair, and there are both benevolent and wise people, one every night, the guests are free to listen, and there are refreshments to send. I hope that at a certain time, all the guest officials in the world can draw inferences from each other and be familiar with the origin of the weakness of our Han nation for thousands of years. ”

Except for Hang Jiufeng, everyone who read this inscription thought that Ah Cai had been reborn.

Giving the White Bird Garden to Chang Tianliang to run a hostel for free, and giving a free storytelling of the historical facts of the prosperity of the Han nation passed on by word of mouth every night, is the most insignificant of the few things that Ah Cai did at the gate of heaven. That night, Sisi cried sadly on the Jiufeng Tower. Everyone who heard it understood that Hang Jiufeng's heart was hooked by Ah Cai again. Hang Jiufeng closed the door heavily, and walked into the White Bird Garden with confidence: "Open the door, I'm here!" ”

"Everyone in the world will say about me, which one are you?"

"Nonsense, I'm who I am."

"How did you become the chief of public security? So unreasonable. ”

"This is called Xiao Biesheng newly married, and my heart is very itchy."

"Be respectful, if you want a woman, go back to Jiufeng Tower, Sisi is still crying!" Through the door, Ah Cai's unequivocal answer resounded through the gate of heaven.

"I'm going to treat you for leprosy. I can see that the leprosy on your head is itching again, and every once in a while you have to hide in a place where no one is and scratch your scalp hard. ”

"Jiufeng, don't do this again. To be honest, I do have an itch on my head, but I have a better medicine than manganese. ”

"Then I'm going to come in and see if it's a perfect tonic soup or a dog skin plaster."

"Don't say useless things, we are divorced, and we will talk about it tomorrow."

"I'm coming in, I'll open your door as soon as I push it."

"If you want to test how hard the four sandalwood poles behind the door are, then please."

"Ah Cai, don't be confused, leave me, where do you go to find happiness?"

"That's exactly what I want to come back to you about. After these two years in Wuhan, I realized what happiness is. Don't be sad about you, that's true, there's nothing more satisfying to me than to leave you completely. ”

"So, you already have other men in Wuhan?"

"Yes, that's what I want to come back to tell you about!"

"Where is that guy, why don't you dare to accompany you to the gate of heaven?"

"It's not good for him to do a funeral in a county. Tomorrow, you'll see him. ”

Hang Jiufeng withdrew from the White Bird Garden in despair, and did not return to the Jiufeng Tower, running to the pavilion alone, drinking while shooting the bullets in the pistol into the beach one by one.

One hundred and thirty

This shock reached ** at noon on the second day after entering the wax moon.

The second boss of Chunmanyuan, a famous company in the three towns of Wuhan, rode a bicycle along the left bank of the West River to the gate of heaven. Hang Jiufeng, who was sitting in the pavilion, didn't expect that the rival he was waiting for was right in front of him. The second boss only took a few days to learn the dialect in the Tianmen area, he got off the bicycle and asked which house belonged to the weather station, and the drunken Hang Jiufeng also pointed out carefully. The second boss who first set foot at the gate of heaven introduced himself outside the Ziyang Pavilion and said some words of thanks to Grandma Mei for her help, and then entered the White Bird Garden to meet with Ah Cai, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Ah Cai's new husband is here!" Put it on someone else, so it will definitely not attract too many people's attention. When it is crowned with the word Ah Cai, it is comparable to the word riot shouted by Fu Langxi back then.

Hang Jiufeng, who rushed back after hearing the news, stared at the identity of the second boss.

"I work in the theater, but I don't act on stage."

"You're not entertaining people in Wuhan, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to pick up my wife, you all know each other, it's Ah Cai."

"Nonsense, Ah Cai is my wife."

"That's a thing of the past, she divorced you and married me."

Hang Jiufeng didn't get any cheap in words, so he came to be tougher. The second boss was not cowardly, and followed Hang Jiufeng to the chapel for review as he spoke. After the routine questioning, Hang Jiufeng waved away the clerk who was making the record:

"I want you to tell the truth, do you know she's leprosy?"

"I knew it before the Japanese surrendered."

"Then why did you marry her?"

"Like you, I can cure her of leprosy."

"I don't believe it, you can't be more clever than me."

"I thought Ah Cai came back early to make everything clear to you!"

"She didn't say anything, she didn't say a word useful to me, as if I was a plague god."

"Yes, my prescription is indescribable to the patient. As you know, leprosy is one of the most difficult diseases in the world to diagnose and treat. The usage of your manganese, Ah Cai told me. Think of it as a friend with medicine, and I'll tell you the truth. Generally, doctors can only deal with dysentery, but you can reach the leprosy in one step, but you can't pull out the root of leprosy. My method is much more difficult, it is called one wash, two wipes, three coats, and four insects. Those who wash their hair should use charcoal quenching water, sheep dung decoction water, horse dung juice, plus sour swill and horse urine; To wipe and coat, you need to put Houttuynia cordata in a bamboo tube and simmer until it is seven to eight mature, then pound it into a thin mud, burn the kapok seeds out of oil, put the pig gall bladder and sesame oil into the bamboo tube and simmer to boil, squeeze out the bile, mix well with the first two Houttuynia cordata and kapok seeds, and then coat it; Then you also need pork belly, pig urine bubbles, sheep breast, sheep urine bubbles, hedgehog fat, tallow, sheep fat, white horse fat and children's fetal feces, plus bear brain, all on the head to attract the dysentery insects. Therefore, even if ordinary people hide it until death, they can't let him know that those things are used by people! Ah Cai is different, the more unspeakable things she has, the more she wants to understand. I didn't hide it from her. She said that as long as she was not under Hang Jiufeng's control, she would not say that she would wipe them, even if she wanted to eat them all, she would be willing. ”

"Is this the original soup that Ah Cai said, or did you add salt and vinegar?"

"If Mr. Hang doesn't believe it, you can ask Ah Cai in person and it will be clear."

The tone and phrasing of the second boss were very decent, and there was neither mockery nor condescending posture.

Hang Jiufeng couldn't find any excuse, so he had to say, "Did Ah Cai tell you one thing?" Seeing that the second boss was at a loss, Hang Jiufeng made it clear the oath he had made in front of Ah Cai in the past, "At that time, I insisted that there would be no second man in the world who would marry her, but I didn't expect you to be her second husband." So, I'm going to lick up the sputum that I spit on the ground. Ah Cai's bedroom had been used as a weather testing station, and the toilet she used to pee was naturally gone, so she had to make this wish next to the man's pee bucket. Hang Jiufeng spat a bubble of phlegm on the ground, and then really lay on the ground and stretched out his tongue to lick it cleanly.

"You can go." Hang Jiufeng stood up and said.

The second boss turned around, and just after walking a few steps, he heard a "click" behind him, and he stopped and didn't leave: "Mr. Hang doesn't need to play this set!" I have been wandering in the three towns of Wuhan for many years, rich and poor, with guns, without guns, with power, without power, ruthless, ruthless, warlords and ruffians, I have seen all kinds of people in the world. Let's put it this way, Ah Cai once helped me calculate an account, three times over the years, I was black-shot, twice I was threatened to hang myself, I was set on fire outside the back door once, and I was kidnapped and locked in various black rooms three times. I could tell that Mr. Hang only put an empty bullet case into the chamber of the gun, if he just wanted to be scary, then why bother! ”

"That's right! If you don't say that, I'll be confused forever. If a man is not a little ruthless, Ah Cai will not like it. While speaking, Hang Jiufeng handed the pistol upside down, saying that if the second boss thought that there was only one bullet case in the chamber, then he would shoot him in the chest. Second, the boss is reluctant to play this kind of game. When the Japanese surrendered, Chun Manyuan once performed a new play, the Chinese and Japanese soldiers all used real guns and real knives, only the bullets were used cartridge casings, when the guns needed to be fired, as soon as the cannon was fired behind the scenes, the actors in front of the stage pulled the bolt, and the real bullet casings that retreated were scattered all over the stage. Since then, as long as there is no real bullet in the chamber, everyone in the theater can hear it. As soon as these words came out, Hang Jiufeng became even more energetic, and even used the method of agitation, and said with ridicule that the people on the streets of Wuhan thought that they were people who had seen the world, and they obviously knew only half of it, but they had to pretend to know half of the things in the sky and everything on the earth. The second boss really underestimated Hang Jiufeng, and after hearing this, he didn't think about it anymore, took the pistol, put it against Hang Jiufeng's chest, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang-" The pistol in the second boss's hand rang out. The tall and big Hang Jiufeng fell down with a bang and fell into the wide Taishi chair. The people waiting in the outhouse rushed into the house with a roar in unison.

"You're not dead, are you?" Ah Cai hugged her husband, "I thought Hang Jiufeng had poisoned you." ”

"I beat Hang Jiufeng to death!" The second boss was trembling all over, "I can hear it clearly, there are no bullets in the gun, and an empty bullet casing shouldn't kill anyone!" ”

At this time, someone took a rope to tie up the murderer of Hang Jiufeng.

"Wait! I can't find the bullet hole! Didn't see bleeding either! Lin Dayu, who was full of doubts, raised his head from in front of Hang Jiufeng and shouted.

Several people gathered around to take a closer look, and Hang Jiufeng, who was slumped motionless on the Taishi chair, suddenly jumped up and stood in the middle of the room laughing loudly. Ah Cai and the second boss, who couldn't react, were so frightened that they sat on the ground and couldn't speak for a long time.

Hang Jiufeng hadn't been so proud for a long time: "It's okay, let these pustules go!" ”

A couple with pale faces got up from the ground: "You're really not dead?" ”

Hang Jiufeng said: "You guys are moving again! They all say that I have a cruel personality, and the real cruelty is you actors, let a person die if he deserves to die, but you insist on putting it on the stage every year, month, month, and day, cutting it 500 times, killing it 500 times, and people have died a thousand times, and you still don't let him go, which is really hateful and hateful. ”

The second boss said again: "I want to know, is Mr. Hang really invulnerable?" ”

Hang Jiufeng was even more proud: "This is my ability, you better go and study the leprosy on Ah Cai's head!" ”

The second boss pulled Ah Cai sadly: "You're right, this guy is not an ordinary person. Ah Cai said numbly: "I won't let you come, you have to come, let's go!" ”

Hang Jiufeng heard the words of the two of them: "If you come, you have to leave!" I'm in a hurry, I'm afraid that I can't find a good role in the play I want to play for you. ”

The second boss instinctively asked: "Is it Chu Opera or Peking Opera?" If it's a Chinese opera, I can be a ticket holder. ”

Hang Jiufeng said, "Your role has already been played, and the rest has nothing to do with you." ”

Ah Cai led the second boss out of the chapel, and Hang Jiufeng, who followed behind, reminded them that they had to go to Xue's house to catch up with the old days if they didn't leave. Ah Cai actually entered the Ziyang Pavilion.

At the gate of heaven after the cold wave, it is a good weather with a warm winter sun as usual. The tranquility that pervades the snow house makes Ah Cai's mood better again. Xue Ning asked the second boss to stay for a few days before leaving, and the second boss was willing to stay, and Ah Cai did not object. After a series of accidents such as the seizure of family property some time ago and the fact that they were almost reported to Hang Jiufeng to be convicted of a capital crime, Xue Ling and Liu Zimo prepared a repatriation fee and sent Wang Niangniang and other servants away, leaving only Chang Niangniang, who refused to leave even if she was alive or dead. Although there are few people, Chang Niangniang takes care of more things. When Chang Niangniang added tea for Ah Cai and them, she kept glancing at Xue Ning.

Xue Ning thought that there was something important, so she got up under the pretext. Chang Niangniang hurriedly followed to the side to remind her that Ah Cai was a person with a funeral, and it was already bad luck to enter the Xue family before seven or seven, and it would be impossible for them and the couple to stay at home for the night. Where is Xue Ning willing to listen, and Chang Niangniang has to take these gossips without oil and salt as a warning to the world. Chang Niangniang was in a hurry, and she didn't care about etiquette, so she said to herself on the side: "The new regime loves to establish new rules, and anyone who wears linen and filial piety can drill into other people's homes." As soon as Ah Cai heard this, he was about to leave again. Xue Ning doesn't blame Chang Niangniang, just let everyone recall together, twenty years ago, Ah Cai was originally a member of the Xue family, and there were some changes in the middle, but now that they are back, they should not be separated from each other anymore. Chang Niangniang, who heard this, was stunned, and then changed her attitude, and apologized again and again, saying that she was old and confused, and forgot that Ah Cai should be an elder in this house. In this way, everyone is relaxed.

After saying a lot of words slowly, Liu Zimo looked at his pocket watch and went to Xiaodong Mountain to record the meteorological data of the day. The second boss also wanted to keep up and take a look, but Xue Ning and Ah Cai didn't agree, for fear of running into Hang Jiufeng and causing unexpected trouble again. couldn't stand Liu Zimo speaking for him, and everyone felt that although Hang Jiufeng was arrogant, he was not the kind of scoundrel who was stalking, so they all agreed.

As soon as Liu Zimo and the second boss left, Xue Ning and Ah Cai unconsciously talked about Tailor Deng from their clothes. Although in Wuhan, Ah Cai has not seen Tailor Deng for a long time, and it is said that during the five anti-rebellions, he was exposed by a buddy. The guy then spontaneously became the owner of the cheongsam shop, but instead of the boss, he was called the factory director, and the name of the store was changed to the ideal garment factory.

"It's a good name, but I don't understand what ideals these people have!"

"No matter who you are, as long as you are in power, you love to let everyone tell each other, this is the worst, whistleblowing is the ugliest ugly act, and it is the root of all evil." After Xue Ning discussed a few words, Ah Cai also sighed: "From the perspective of whistleblowing alone, the Hang family is still a little cute and respectable. ”

Xue Ning understood that Ah Cai still had some lingering nostalgia in her heart, and she didn't pick it up, but only brought the topic back to Tailor Deng. The two agreed that Tailor Deng may have encountered a difficult past bump in the road.

Suddenly, the oiled paper on the window trembled, and almost at the same time, a gunshot rang out from Xiaodongshan.

I can hear that this is Hang Jiufeng's gun, and Hang Jiufeng always has a different momentum when he shoots. Ah Cai hugged Xue Ling and cried intermittently, he shouldn't let the second boss go to Xiaodongshan, Hang Jiufeng said that he would still act, and this time he would not let go of the second boss. Xue Ning also panicked, and had to call Xue Lan, who was lying on the bed sickly, and asked her to go to Xiaodong Mountain to have a look, and at the same time persuaded Ah Cai to have confidence that the man she loved could survive all difficulties.

There were a lot of people on the street, and everyone ran to Xiaodong Mountain.

Xue Lan put on her clothes, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she met the second boss who was distracted.

"You're really alive again!" When Ah Cai burst into tears and laughed, Xue Ning panicked: "Mr. Liu? Where is Mr. Liu? ”

The second boss pointed at Xiao Dongshan with his finger and couldn't say a word. Xue Ling didn't ask anymore, and ran out of the room. Xiaodong Mountain was full of people, and when they saw Snow Lemon, everyone flashed to the side. Under the bluestone halfway up the mountain, there was a lifeless Liu Zimo. Snow Lemon, Snow Blue, and Snow Otter pounced on them, and their bodies in their arms were already cold.

Hang Jiufeng stood on the side, with an innocent look on his face: "I have already said that I have to act in a play." Mr. Liu is really not a good character. The same method applied to me didn't do. It was used on Mr. Liu, but he died. The second boss can testify, I am standing here, and when they came down the mountain, I said something that Mr. Liu had already heard, that he was not allowed to keep a record of the changes, that he was not allowed to buy revolutionaries, and then shot me like the second boss had done to me. The second boss was wrong before, the bullet casing in my gun had gunpowder, but the bullet was pulled off by me and hit loudly, but it couldn't hurt anyone. I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be so undead because in my opinion, Mr. Liu's death had nothing to do with the empty pack of bullets. He had a ghost in his heart, and he was suppressed to death by those two shouts. This is called doing the way for heaven, and it is also called being in calamity. ”

When Xue Lan, whose face was full of tears, lowered her head and bumped into Hang Jiufeng, she was held by Xue Ning, who was also full of tears, with her right hand. Xue Ling, who bit his lip and bled blood, opened his mouth and wanted to bite Hang Jiufeng, but was also pulled by Xue Ning, who also bit his lip and bled blood, with his left hand.

"Why? Why? Give me a reason, please! ”

"I don't believe people can be scared to death. I risked my life for the second boss to try. I want to correct the name of the Hang family, lest someone say that a county is scared to death in the future. ”

"Hang Jiufeng, don't dream anymore, a county has never been your son!" When Ah Cai shouted these words out loud in the crowd, an auspicious cloud floated out from the bell tower at the top of the chapel. The northeast wind was blowing on the mountain, and the treetops were bending in the direction of Konishiyama. Xiangyun slowly swirled on the bell tower, and then used the demeanor of the colorful portraits on the murals in the chapel to float soothingly against the wind to Xiaodongshan, where the auspicious clouds passed, smelled a sandalwood fragrance. Suddenly, the auspicious clouds disappeared, and only Ah Cai's face was red and shining, with the brilliance of a mural. Ah Cai's face became gorgeous, but she didn't realize it, she gently lowered her head, and used her fingers to reverently draw a few times on her chest. The bell tower rang at the right time to resonate with the heart. The second boss on the side couldn't help but follow Ah Cai and raised his hand to his chest.

Hang Jiufeng showed a shameless look: "From the point of curiosity, I also want to see if all the people who are scared to death will turn green all over their bodies." ”

Xue Ling stopped talking, she took off her upper clothes and covered Liu Zimo's face, led Xue Lan and Xue Lan to bow deeply three times, and then sang in a low voice the ** and sacred song they had sung when Grandma Mei died.

One-three-one

On the night of Liu Zimo's death, the grief-stricken Chang Niangniang beat Chang Tianliang with fists and sticks.

"Are you still holding a grudge against Mr. Liu for marrying Xue Ling? Did Hang Jiufeng's eggs poke your ears deafening? In the past, when you died, you could hear the movement in advance, but today's catastrophe fell on Mr. Liu's head, why can't you hear it? Don't be dishonest, don't follow Duan Sanguo, and leave a way out for yourself in advance. I tell you, at the gate of heaven, there is no Xue family, no matter who he is, if he wants to leave a way back, in the end it will be a dead end. ”

"Why don't you believe me, I really didn't hear it! Since I have Chang Wen, this ear is also blind, and in the middle of the night, I can't hear the and pee on him when he gets up. ”

"Mr. Liu just died, why did you climb to the bell tower and ring the bell?"

"It was Grandma Mei who told me. I was thinking about the White Bird Garden Hotel in the house, Grandma Mei walked into the house with a smile, she said that Ah Cai wanted to listen to the bell, let me go to the bell tower to ring the bell a few times, and said not to push too hard, too hard the bell will be out of shape, can not enter the hearts of others. From beginning to end, Grandma Mei did not mention Mr. Liu. ”

"You little thing, you can tell nonsense, and making up stories is like beating a drum to tell a story."

Chang Niangniang insisted on beating Chang Tianliang severely, and later, she would scold Hang Jiufeng every time she beat it, and regretted that she had no idea back then, if she married Hang Tianjia back then, other women would not be able to find someone to give birth to Hang Jiufeng. Chang Tianliang knelt on the ground and let Chang Niangniang do whatever she wanted. He Bian didn't dare to persuade him, so he had to open the door and let Chang Wen go and call Xue Ning. Chang Wen met his round cousin who helped Zhang Luo Liu Zimo with his funeral at the door of Xue's house. Cousin Yuan didn't let him disturb Xue Ling and them, so she pulled Chang Wen and ran to Chang Wen's house. Chang Tianliang's nose has been beaten and bleeding.

Cousin Yuan didn't do anything, but said softly behind Chang Niangniang: "Grandma Mei is unhappy, saying that you shouldn't do it, if you do it today, you will use a knife and a gun tomorrow." Scold today, and kill tomorrow. ”

Chang Niangniang was stunned: "Hang Jiufeng is not a person, he can be scolded and killed." ”

Cousin Yuan said: "Grandma Mei also said that if Hang Jiufeng is not a person today, he will not treat anyone else as a person tomorrow." ”

Chang Niangniang had no choice but to put down the stick in her hand: "Hang Jiufeng, for the sake of Grandma Mei's face, I will spare you today!" From this moment on, Chang Niangniang became half-crazy. As long as they are with Xue Ning, they talk, behave, live and walk, and they can't see any difference from the past. Once they leave Xue Ning, whether they are men or women, they are all Hang Jiufeng in her eyes, and they will pounce on them if they can make a slight movement, bite with their teeth if they can, and rush up to spit a few mouthfuls of stinky phlegm when they can't bite with their teeth. In the first few days, Hang Jiufeng still didn't believe it, and when he saw Chang Niangniang in front, he didn't turn around yet, and insisted on passing in front of her.

Chang Niangniang is really crazy: "You are Hang Tianjia's son, you are called Hang Jiufeng, in the past, your son wanted me to give birth to you, I didn't want to, today I am willing, I want to stuff you back into my stomach from **, and wait for ten months to regenerate." As he spoke, he threw himself at Hang Jiufeng.

Hang Jiufeng neither dodged nor fought back. The men of the Hang family would never poke a woman with their fingers. He was waiting for the people of the Suppressed Rebellion Committee, which had been abolished, to come and help. There was always a little gap between them, Chang Niangniang bit his left shoulder for the first time, bit his right cheek for the second time, and the third time, Chang Niangniang walked around in front of the chapel again. Hang Jiufeng still didn't want to avoid it, and was about to go out, when Yizhen ran over and pulled him hard, scolding him viciously: "Okay, what are you looking for to die?" ”

Hang Jiufeng stared at Yizhen and said, "Stinky boy, how many eggs have you grown?" ”

From then on, Hang Jiufeng walked outside, as long as he heard someone say that Chang Niangniang was coming, he smiled bitterly or to the left or to the right, but if he couldn't do it, he simply turned around and retreated. This was the only turmoil that occurred at the gate of heaven after Liu Zimo's death.

Soon, the magistrate of Yuzi County came to the gate of heaven again and announced Fu Langxi's handwritten instructions.

"I really can't imagine that this Hang Jiufeng, who has been a comrade with us for many years, still has a stone stone in his head, and it looks like he has two eyes, but in fact, none of them have the trick. If he continues to serve as the director of the public security bureau, will something more absurd than scaring people to death and not paying for their lives? I would like to send him to be the head of the grain depot. How is it? The people take food as the sky, and the director of the grain depot is also the king of heaven. Mr. Liu Zimo's scientific heritage should be returned to the local **, and renamed in accordance with the unified regulations of the province, no longer named after the gate of heaven, it is very good to call it the Paradise Weather Station. From the Gate of Heaven to Heaven, everyone has taken a step forward. In terms of personnel, with Xue Ling as the stationmaster, Xue Lan as the leader of the meteorological observation group, and absorbing Cousin Yuan as an ordinary staff, and because of the relative danger of hydrological observation, a male should be appointed as the team leader. ”

At the end of the instructions, there is a plaque inscribed by Fu Ranci: Paradise Weather Station.

The county magistrate adhered to the principle of distinguishing between inside and outside, and did not say some of the contents publicly, but only reported them to Hang Jiufeng and Lin Dayu in private. In another report, Fu Langsi made another comment: "Some people are always criticizing us for not paying enough attention to intellectuals, and at this stage, such opinions can only be listened to. Those intellectuals who can be trusted, just like Mr. Liu Zimo, who just passed away for some reason, under the same conditions, the same situation happens, Mr. Liu will not survive. On the contrary, the ordinary comrades of workers and peasants, who were denounced by some as scoundrels, were unharmed. This can only indicate that the former is yet to mature. Until the intellectuals matured, they had no choice but to rely on ordinary workers' and peasants' comrades, despite their intolerable shortcomings and bad habits, in spite of their intolerable shortcomings and bad habits. ”

After listening to the announcement, Hang Jiufeng muttered unhappily: "Lady dysentery, sue Diao." ”

Secretly, Hang Jiufeng was happy, as long as Liu Zimo died in his own hands. He didn't care whether Liu Zimo should be registered as 710,000 out of the 710,000 people who were counted as repressed across the country.

Chang Niangniang chased Hang Jiufeng on the street again. A woman in her sixties, with all white hair, runs like a white cloud. Most of the time, Chang Niangniang was deceived by the children. It was Lin Dayu's son Bai who took the lead. For the first time, Bai Xiang shouted behind Chang Niangniang, "Hang Jiufeng is back!" "It's just a whim. Chang Niangniang took it seriously, from the upper street to the lower street, from the small church to the gazebo, and slowly expanded the scope of the search to the rainfall room on the left bank and the observation room on Xiaodong Mountain. At first, when the children shouted like this, the adults would interfere and threaten them by not letting them go to the newly opened White Bird Garden Hotel to listen to Chang Tianliang's storytelling. This kind of thing happens once every three or two days, and as soon as the time grows up, people don't bother to ask, and this kind of game becomes a daily routine for children. Even Chang Tianliang's son, Chang Wen, occasionally joins the children and tricks his grandmother into running around the streets. After a few years, the white send-off who took the lead disdainfully disdained to play this kind of game. Younger children will carry on the game. It doesn't take a big kid or an adult to teach them to move the game forward. Whenever a strange man who looked unpleasant appeared on the street, the children pointed to his back and said, "Hang Jiufeng was afraid of you, so he slipped back in someone else's clothes!" Chang Niangniang really listened to such an instigation, ran up quickly and grabbed the other party's shoulder, pulled it over and looked at it twice from head to toe and from foot to head, and then scolded in disappointment: "Hang Jiufeng's soul!" Hang Jiufeng's corpse! The frightened look of a strange man always makes the children happy.

In the years since Yoo Zimo's death, the men and women who went to fight in North Korea have returned alive, and no one has been sent to launch a new movement. The only thing that is disturbing is the spread from the cities and the further complete nationalization on the basis of public-private partnerships. Lin Dayu, who owns a blacksmith shop, was not very active about this matter, just shouting slogans and sticking slogans, but did not really take action. First, Lin Dayu was standing in front, and second, there were no rumors of arrests or killings due to the nationalization of private shops and factories, and the scene up and down the gate of heaven was much calmer.

One evening in spring, Xue Lan came back from the observation room, quietly pushed out the women's bicycle that she hadn't ridden for a long time, and came to the main road outside the gazebo to teach Xue Lan to ride a bicycle. The round cousin, who first saw the two sisters, often said to others in the later period: "The women of the Xue family have survived and come back to life!" It's a pity that I can't find Tailor Deng, Xue Hong has no luck to wear a cheongsam, otherwise, this life will be better. ”
