Chapter 161: Martyrs' Cemetery
Early the next morning, Grandpa Xu asked Xu Jiajun to set up a carriage and sent them to the county seat to catch a train to Jincheng.
Shen Yunqi has no experience in raising children, but from his behavior of carrying Duan Huan back and forth, it can be predicted that he will definitely be a daughter slave in the future.
"Uncle, I've grown up, you don't have to hold me, I can stand firm on my own!" Duan Huan still said a little embarrassed.
Shen Yunqi patted Duan Huan's head, "You just grow up again, in the eyes of your uncle, you are all little girls, and it is not good for children to pretend to be old!" ”
Anyway, no matter what Wan Huan said, Shen Yunqi couldn't listen to it.
His love is so doting that there is a sense of guilt for his little sister, and there is love for his only niece.
Grandpa Xu looked at Duan Huan's embarrassed and deflated expression, and blocked his mouth with his fist to steal fun.
"Zuzu, I saw you smiling!" Huan made a grimace at Grandpa Xu.
Grandpa Xu pretended to cough twice and denied: "You are wrong! ”
Shen Yunqi was also amused when he listened to the conversation between the two of them, this is no old or young, at first glance, he is used to fighting with each other.
When he got off the train in Jincheng, Grandpa Xu went straight to the martyr's cemetery with all his joy.
It stands to reason that in addition to big festivals such as Qingming and Army Day, the cemetery should be very deserted.
Before the three of them entered the door, they heard a noisy noise at the door, who would make noise in the solemn martyr's cemetery.
Once inside, they found two groups of people arguing in front of the tomb, and some of the tombstones next to it were smashed.
Wearing imitation military uniforms and wearing red armbands, several red soldiers held small red books in their hands, shouting "anti-feudal and breaking the four olds" and "building tombs and monuments is to engage in feudal superstition" or something.
Another group of people were dressed in ordinary clothes, probably family members of the martyrs here, an old lady and a woman sat on the ground crying and grabbing the ground, both of them had patches on their clothes, and it seemed that the living conditions were not very good.
The remaining young and middle-aged men, with dark skin, looked honest, but a few people surrounded the grave behind the tombstone.
"Today you are going to demolish my son's grave, and you will step over the corpse of the old woman!" The old lady covered a tombstone with her body in tears.
The woman took out a machete from her bosom, and the words were even more ruthless:
"My mother doesn't know what the feudal four olds are, and my mother knows that my man is a hero who has beaten devils and rice countrymen.
Digging my man's grave is to force my mother-in-law to die, then I don't have to live, I can kill one to death, and I will earn money by hacking two old ladies to death! ”
The people who can be buried in the martyrs' cemetery now are all martyrs who have shed blood for the country, and this woman has said everything to the point.
I don't know why this group of red soldiers is so frenzied, destroying the cemeteries of the common people everywhere in the countryside is not enough for them to show off their might, and now even the martyrs' cemetery dares to come to find trouble.
Grandpa Xu and Shen Yunqi are both soldiers, how can they tolerate the red soldiers insulting their fellow soldiers who sacrificed for the country so much.
Shen Yunqi put Duan Huan on the ground, "Old Xu, you take Xiaoyu'er here and wait for a while, I'll go over and take a look!" ”
"Let's go together, they're all stunned boys, and they can't listen to what they say!" Grandpa Xu didn't care.
Shen Yunqi was a little embarrassed, "But the little fish ......"
"Uncle, I'm fine, don't underestimate me, I'm still very good!" Duan Huan waved his hand to say that he didn't have to protect himself, "If there is a fight for a while, I will only fight others!" ”
The eye-colored red soldier couldn't help but take two steps back when he looked at the scars and clothes on Shen Yunqi's face.
"This is the martyrs' cemetery, the place where the martyrs are buried, what are you making trouble here!" Shen Yunqi's face was still very fierce.
A leader who looked like a red soldier stood up and replied: "We are breaking feudal superstitions, don't come to mess with irrelevant people such as idle people!" ”
"I can't control you breaking the four olds, but this is a martyr's cemetery approved by the state, you say that it will be demolished, who agrees? Is there a formal paperwork formality? Shen Yunqi was not polite at all.
At first glance, these red soldiers are all thin and weak chickens, and they originally relied on the red armband and the little red book, and they dared to follow the trend to fool around, and they brought some official documents.
But their leader still came out and said, "Rebellion is not guilty!" No official documents are needed in the first place! ”
"If you don't have documents, you can apply for documents, and if you don't have documents, don't want to move every brick here!" Shen Yunqi snorted and said.
The leader of the Red Guards didn't expect Shen Yunqi's attitude to be so tough, and there was a fire in his heart, and he sneered and said, "If we have to demolish it today, what can you do?" ”
"Then it's up to me, an old fellow, to agree or not!" Shen Yunqi pulled out the gun pinned to his waist and spun it around in his hand.
When the timid Red Guards saw the gun, they immediately took two steps back, and it would be bad if they were accidentally injured.
It is their norm to fight fiercely and bully the soft and fear the hard, but they are still afraid when they see real guys, they are all mortals with the naked eye, and if a gun goes down, they will bleed and be injured, right?
"You...... You, you, we have something to say, be careful of the gun! The Red Guard looked at the gun in Shen Yunqi's hand and stuttered a little.
Shen Yunqi directly opened the safety of the pistol and fired a shot into the sky, and the sound of "bang" sounded, and a pigeon fell down in a vertical posture in the sky.
"Good luck today, good start!" Shen Yunqi's expression was ruffian, "Although I am not a sharpshooter in the army, I have always killed with one move!" ”
This kind of red soldier is all cowardice, and his face is white with fright at this moment.
With a particularly happy expression, he picked up the pigeon, "Uncle is mighty, there is something delicious at noon!" ”
"What else does the little fish want to eat? Uncle can call! Shen Yunqi spoke, but his eyes were aimed at this group of red soldiers, and the meaning was unclear.
At this moment, the red soldiers were really frightened, flying so high and such a small area could hit them, let alone them, a large area of objects.
The leader of the red soldiers stammered even more now, "Together, comrades, everyone, it's time to learn the quotations, let's hurry back to the Revolutionary Committee!" ”
After receiving the boss's order, this group of red soldiers slipped faster than rabbits, and their posture of rolling and crawling was the same as the arrogant appearance just now, as if they had changed into a different person.
Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard! Wan Huan rolled his eyes at them with a blank face.
Seeing that the red soldier ran away, the old lady and the middle-aged woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Yunqi, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”
Shen Yunqi hurriedly helped the old lady up, "Auntie, eldest sister!" Don't be so polite, I'm also a soldier, and it's right to say a word for my dead comrades! ”
"Pity my son who gave up his life for the people of the country, but when he dies, he will be dug up and dug up!" The old lady cried again.
Grandpa Xu couldn't bear to look at it, "Old sister, don't cry, take care of your body!" ”
"That's it, mother-in-law, if you get sick again, how can I explain to Mengzi!" The woman hurriedly reassured the old lady, "It's a big deal that I go to the capital to sue the emperor, I don't believe that no one can control this group of people!" ”
"Eldest sister, it doesn't have to be so serious, this problem can be reacted to the military region!" Shen Yunqi hurriedly said.
Grandpa Xu also said, "You are martyrs, it's okay to go to the military region to reflect the situation!" The military district knows the situation and will not leave it alone! ”
After listening to Grandpa Xu and Shen Yunqi's words, the old lady and the middle-aged woman nodded straight when they heard it, and after thanking them very politely, a group of people left in a hurry.
Grandpa Xu led Shen Yunqi and Duan Huan to walk towards the tombstones of Xu Jialiang and Zhao Zhenzhu together.
At this time, the martyrs' tombs were not so neatly repaired, some of them were uneven, and the tombstones were only engraved with names and no photos.
Since it has not been taken care of for a long time, the management of the martyr's cemetery is not very perfect, so the graves of Xu Jialiang and Zhao Zhenzhu are overgrown with wild grass.
The three of them pulled out the grass for a while before they pulled it clean, and Shen Yunqi and Duan Huan used a handkerchief to clean the dust on the tombstone.
Now that the four olds are broken, they can't light incense and burn paper, Shen Yunqi and Duan Huan just made a simple salute.
Then Grandpa Xu took Duan Huan outside, leaving a separate space for Shen Yunqi to talk to Zhao Qizhu.
After looking for my sister for so many years, now that my sister is gone, it has become a cold grave, but Shen Yunqi definitely wants to stay alone with my sister for a while and chat for a while.
When Shen Yunqi came out of the gate, Duan Huan saw that his eyes were very red, obviously with tears.
He was obviously still immersed in sadness, but after seeing Duan Huan, he still reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips and forced a smile.
"Uncle!" Huan reached out to pull Shen Yunqi's hand to comfort him.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yunqi directly put Duan Huan on his shoulder, although Duan Huan is now taller, but Shen Yunqi is burly and tall, and he doesn't look abrupt.
Shen Yunqi then ran, and Wan Huan was so shaken that he hurriedly saved Shen Yunqi's head, and both of them laughed.
Grandpa Xu felt that he did take good care of Duan Huan, eat well and dress well, but Duan Huan did lack his parents in the process of growing up.
So Grandpa Xu looked at Shen Yunqi and his laughter, and he also became happy.
The dreary atmosphere was finally swept away.
