CHAPTER XXIV. 2

The old lady of the landlady walked in the door at this time, first glanced at Bai Ling, then looked at Lu Zhaopeng and asked, "Mrs. has picked it up?" Lu Zhaopeng introduced the landlord, Mrs. Wei, to Bai Ling. Bai Ling saw at a glance that Mrs. Wei was a person who had seen the world, understood the world and despised the world, her fully fattened abdomen fell forward, showing bloated, but also showing open-mindedness, two huge friends ** prostrate on the broad chest, those eyelids drooping eyes revealed a calm and calm spirit even if there was an earthquake. The first glance at people made Bai Ling feel that her eyes were as flat as looking at an ordinary sheep, and she had already seen thousands of sheep. She turned her head to look at the layout of the building and said, "If you lack any furniture, go to the back and get it." Lu Zhaopeng repeatedly said apologies such as "causing trouble". Mrs. Wei didn't take her seat, she only stood for a while before turning around and going out, and when she walked out of the door of the house, she turned her head and pursed the corners of her lips, revealing a smile: "Your wife's face is distressed." Bai Ling smiled shyly, indicating that he had accepted the reward, and when he returned to the house, he couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Zhaopeng, how did you escape back?" Lu Zhaopeng was stunned for a moment and said, "Run away in embarrassment." After that, he waved his hand slightly: "Don't mention it this time, let's look at the next time!" Bai Ling was very dissatisfied, and talked about her going to Zishui County to find County Magistrate Hao, and overheard Xiaowen talking about what happened to him: "He said that he was in the way of his eldest uncle's face. Lu Zhaopeng obviously felt new to this professional term: "Shot? It's a very decent thing to say. After that, he changed the subject: "Let's make dinner." Let our chimneys smoke first!" Bai Ling suddenly became excited when he heard this. The original Venerable Master used the words "I hope that the chimney of my neighbor will not smoke" to ridicule the narrow-minded and vicious people who are not scheming and plotting against others. Lu Zhaopeng looked like he had inadvertently uttered his hometown dialect, effectively suppressing or suppressing the idiomatic phrase of Xiaowen that was always squirming in her heart, and felt a balance of mentality. Bai Ling responded enthusiastically: "Okay, let our chimney smoke first!"

For dinner, Bai Ling made long noodles. Long noodles symbolize longevity and long-term friendship, and are often only entertained by relatives and friends during festive activities such as New Year's holidays, or newlyweds, birthday celebrations for the elderly, or full moon celebrations for newborn babies. When Bai Ling lit the first handful of firewood in a state of mind that was not without joy and without **, he excitedly stomped out of the stove room and stood in the courtyard to call Lu Zhaopeng, asking him to watch the first wisp of cooking smoke rising from the brick chimney......

When Bai Ling handed a bowl of long noodles poured with diced meat to Lu Zhaopeng, he said apologetically: "I put too much alkali - I grabbed a rolling stick for the first time today." Lu Zhaopeng stirred it with chopsticks, the noodles covered by the noodles had turned yellow, and the alkaline noodles were overloaded more than one or two times, and he suddenly took a big sip and said, "The flaws are not hidden." It's long enough, the tendon is good, and the taste is still the same as our original taste. Bai Ling also brought himself a bowl. While eating, she couldn't help but ask again, "When are you going back to the city?" Lu Zhaopeng pondered for a while and said, "Coincidentally, on the day you went to Zishui County, I entered the city later. ”

Lu Zhaopeng spent a quiet time in the White Deer Plain. After escaping from Bai Xiaowen's guns at Bailu Academy, he did not go to the plains, but instead ran diagonally across the northern plain slope and ran westward. The only purpose of choosing this path was to make it easier to hide the ditches and beams on the original slope, because he fully estimated that Yue Weishan would immediately block the western exit of the Zishui River with troops and search the entire Bailuyuan at the same time. His judgment was completely accurate. The security brigade sent a squadron of soldiers to disperse to the plains to search for Lu Zhaopeng from house to house, and soldiers from another squadron entered the Zishui River to perform the same task. Lu Zhaopeng rushed to the edge of another river less than ten miles from the city at the dawn of dawn, lay down in the grass on the beach and fell asleep. An old man who was herding cattle and mowing grass kicked him awake with his foot, and he said that he had lost all his property by playing with money, and even his mother-in-law had lost to the winner, and he wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river, but he fell asleep. The old man pouted the corners of his lips and said that he had a cure for gambling. Lu Zhaopeng pretended to be very urgent, kneeling and begging. The old man herding the oxen pointed to the ferry not far from the river with the crooked handle of the sickle in his hand and said, "Go back to the river." Lu Zhaopeng pretended to be depressed and said: "I can't redeem my mother-in-law even if I die to earn those two hemp money from the back river." The old man said, "Yes." can be redeemed. Lu Zhaopeng still pretended to be hesitant. The old man herding the cattle said: "Baby, when you carry others on your back, you can understand how you should live." ”

Lu Zhaopeng was really excited, and wanted to personally test the life prescription of the old man herding cattle, maybe this was the best way for him to hide it at the moment. He pulled up his pants and stood on the sand by the water, making a frame pose for a living by the river...... This river is called the Run River, which flows out of the mountains from the Qinling Mountains, flows north around the slope roots in the west of Bailuyuan, flows into the water and then throws into the Wei River. On the way to the ancient city, a ferry without a ferry was formed, which also created a profession of carrying people across the river. Needless to ask, all the people who carry the river are poor and clumsy fools who have neither property nor skills. Lu Zhaopeng picked up the first person and walked into the water, and suddenly remembered the debate with Mr. Zhu. It was the first winter vacation after leaving Bailu Academy to enter the ancient city of Peide Middle School, and when he went to visit Mr. Zhu, he preached to Mr. Zhu**. Mr. Zhu smiled and asked: "You want to abolish the system of oppression and exploitation of people, this sounds very good, but what can some people do if they are willing to let others oppress and exploit them?" Lu Zhaopeng said: "How can there be such a person in the world?" Mr. Zhu gave an example and said: "Do people who carry the river on the Run River count? You are kind enough not to let him be oppressed, but he can't earn hemp money to buy baked cakes. Lu Zhaopeng said: "The people's government will arrange a better career for those who carry the river than those who carry the river." Mr. Zhu said: "If someone is addicted to the river, he wants to go back to the river and doesn't want to do the good job you arranged for him, what can you do?" Lu Zhaopeng was anxious: "The people's government will build a bridge over the river, and the car will run over and people will not be charged, and the people who carry the river will not be able to carry it even if they want to." Mr. Zhu smiled: "There are really a lot of ways to ...... your people's power" Lu Zhaopeng now thinks that he was ridiculous when he thinks about it, but now he has become the best choice for him to hide. Occasionally, a figure who looked like a low-level government official walked by the river, and he also spent a few hemp money to make people carry him across the river; Occasionally, a row of soldiers swayed by, and all the coolies who carried the river, including him, gathered together to carry them across the river, and naturally no one dared to stretch out their palms to try anything. None of the people who crossed the river and carried the river would have thought that Lu Zhaopeng, the political commissar of the Red 36th Army that the government was pursuing, was crossing the river with a woman with a small foot on his back...... Lu Zhaopeng took advantage of the darkness to enter the East City Gate, and found two underground transportation sites that failed: one was relocated, and the other had been arrested. He felt a kind of crisis, and he didn't dare to rush to it again. He had no choice but to sneak into the slums at the base of the eastern city wall, and squeezed all night in a small inn shop that was called a family inn but was actually a prostitute. At noon the next day, I entered Dongguan, where there was a famous mutton steamed bun restaurant in the eastern half of the city. When Lu Zhaopeng walked in the door, pretending to be looking for a seat to scan the various diners, he saw a familiar face plate, and couldn't help but be happy, it was a comrade. The comrade recognized him almost at the same time, stood up excitedly and called out "Brother Lu", and held half of the unbroken dumpling in his raised hand. Lu Zhaopeng's hair suddenly stood on end, and he hurriedly turned around, and almost at the same time two people jumped up from a table to his left; Zhao Peng was only five or six paces away from them, and it was impossible to escape. In a hurry, he snatched the iron scoop from the hand of the stove head who was churning the steamed buns, and with a wave of his hand, he splashed the boiling hot steamed buns full of boiled mutton soup on the faces of the two big men. Lu Zhaopeng only heard the miserable cries of the two people and had no time to ignore the tragic scene of them falling and rolling, turned into an alley before running his legs, and finally ran to the side of the Runhe River to continue to make a living by the river...... At dawn the next day, Lu Zhaopeng walked into the Dawang Town Senior Primary School at the foot of the Qinling Mountains at the southern end of Bailuyuan......

Lu Zhaopeng said to Bai Ling: "When I heard him call 'Brother Lu', I saw a green light shooting out of his eyes, the same as the eyes of the wolf I met on the plain at night. Bai Ling simply put down his chopsticks, stopped eating long noodles, and said, "We will succeed in the future, and we must not spare the traitor." Lu Zhaopeng said: "One traitor is more powerful than a thousand Bai Xiaowen Yue Weishan. ”

Lu Zhaopeng lived in the house of the principal Hu Dalin, pretending to be a relative from the city to go to the hot spring at the foot of the mountain to treat skin diseases, pretending to go to the hot spring once a day to wash in mineral water, and staying in the suite room of the principal Hu Dalin at night. The school is close to the hot springs, and the gentlemen, without exception, have to receive relatives and friends who come to wash their illnesses, and Lu Zhaopeng's arrival will not cause any suspicion. Hu Dalin was Lu Zhaopeng's first group of party members in Bailu Town Junior High School, and after he fled, he went into hiding and followed his arrangement to enter the Dawangzhen School at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. Hu Dalin is open-minded and cautious, bold and cunning, and has become a figure in the town of Dawang Town; He developed five party members in the school, established a branch, squeezed out those who were untrustworthy one by one, and ran the school into a safe base. Hu Dalin said to Lu Zhaopeng: "You wash well now, eat and sleep well!" Let me get what you want. Lu Zhaopeng said: "The organization must be found as soon as possible. Hu Dalin said: "You should wash well, eat well, sleep well, and raise your spirit first." If you look for an organization, you will tell you the number of roads, and I will ask someone to find it. Lu Zhaopeng was so anxious that he could neither wash properly, nor eat well, let alone sleep well, and his anxious and urgent mood was permeated with a trace of sadness, which was an emotion he had never had since he joined the revolution. The time when the Kuomintang backhanded the massacre of **, it aroused unspeakable anger without sadness; This time, the losses caused by the defection of the important leaders of the party were even more severe, the newly established 36th Red Army was completely wiped out, and the underground organization that had been painstakingly managed was easily smashed like a spider's web. He was nothing more than a lucky escaped spider, with a sense of desolation before he re-established his web. He told Hu Dalin a contact number, and Hu Dalin sent a party member into the city, but he couldn't get in touch, and then went three times to find a clue. Lu Zhaopeng has lived in Dawang Town Senior Primary School for ten days, the rare quiet life and the nourishment of the beautiful mineral water, so that he faded away from fatigue and refreshed his spirits, when this gossamer clue was caught by him and decided: "Let that comrade go again to meet him, I am still on the edge of the Runhe River to carry the river, and I have a blue cloth belt around my waist." ”……
