Twenty days later, more than a dozen sabers were escorted back to their hometowns. Most of them were still wrapped in gauze, carrying the urns of Zhu Mangwa'er and others, dejected, depressed, and limping to the foot of Miao'er Mountain. Neighbors rushed to see the excitement, they said that Zhang Hanwen and Dong Xiu's aunt were missing, Zhao Wenxiong snorted and turned his back and left. Yang Dahan'er sighed: "Alas, this favor is really better than a piece of paper." Yang Anbang stared at Zhu Mangwa'er's urn, and suddenly felt a faint pain in the two ribs that he had broken, and pointed and scolded: "Evil seed, you are jumping!" Uncle Bingshan took over and said, "This is called heavenly retribution, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Soon, Zhang Hanwen and Dong Xiu's aunt were also escorted back to their hometowns one after another, and on this piece of yellow earth, the unbeatable figures for more than two years did not expect all to fall in an instant. Zhang Hanwen lost his legs, and since then he has faced the cynicism of his neighbors from time to time, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and crawl with his head down.

And Aunt Dongxiu is half crazy and half crazy, always wearing that dirty and torn grass-green fake military uniform, wearing an armband made of red paper, holding a bamboo pole three or four feet long, no matter where she is, whether there is an audience or not, she has the same board and eyes, singing and talking and dancing: "Pick up the pen and make a knife and gun...... (White) is willing to cut his whole body, dare to pull the emperor off the horse! "Sometimes I even beg from passers-by, pick up cigarette butts on the ground to smoke, and even catch dog poop on the side of the road to eat. Living in the illusion of extreme self-consciousness all day long, like a walking corpse, no one cares what happens to her.

One day, she performed alone under the rhubarb tree for most of the day, exhausted, sitting on the ground leaning against the tree, looking at the sky in a daze, her eyes instinctively slowly closed, the memory that had been shattered a few months ago was restored in her mind at this time, edited into a dream:

On that day, she and Zhang Hanwen took the big horse saber team, and were breaking the four old in the courtyard dam under the rhubarb cypress tree, and suddenly received an order from the commander-in-chief of the commune horse, and immediately led the team to the commune town to gather first, and then went to the people and horses of the state capitals and counties to reorganize, and went to the Shu River to meet the Yunshuifu combat group that was killed from the east.

After several days and nights of fighting, they confronted both sides of the Shu River. At night, the streets and alleys are filled with the smell of blood, artillery fire on both sides of the river, amphibious tank duel on the river, and the sound of guns and cannons is hoarse, as if the whole city will be overturned. Late at night, a hand-to-hand street battle was launched, the Moon River saber team was killed, she and Zhang Hanwen were captured and taken hostage to an abandoned warehouse, she was stripped naked, and lined up**......

Her mournful cry seemed to awaken a little humanity in Zhang Hanwen, and he roared angrily: "Animal, it's a pity that Lao Tzu has no original. Child. Play! Desperately rushed up, two bright and dangling sabers, almost at the same time, he screamed that his two legs became four halves, and the two halves with footboards fell to the ground and convulsed a few times and did not move.

A team of comrades-in-arms rushed to chase after her, she felt that Zhang Hanwen still had breath, and shouted: "Help" The two comrades-in-arms who fell behind ran in when they heard the sound, and the flashlight shone on her who was naked. Laughter doesn't save people. She was embarrassed and pleaded, "Do well, save us." "Where's the red armband?" "It's gone." "And who knows who you are?" "Dude, don't talk nonsense with her, on!" "Livestock! If there is an afterlife, I will eat you! ”

Aunt Dongxiu finally passed out......

……

Zhao Wenxiong passed by under the rhubarb tree with a hoe, and saw Aunt Dongxiu sweating profusely, muttering and talking in her dreams, by the way, he woke her up, glanced at her indifferently, and walked straight away. She still sat on the ground leaning against the tree, looking at the sky and smirking in disbelief after a moment of consternation.

Back then, Zhao Wenxiong was sent to the Moon River for labor reform as a rightist, and lived alone in the ancient temple of Miaoershan, and no one cared about him when he was swollen and sick. Aunt Dong Xiu chatted with Yu Wu's sister-in-law while working: "Zhao Wenxiong hasn't seen him for a few days, is he already ...... swollen?" Everyone is like hiding from the plague god, you are good, for fear that you will not be able to get it, it is simply a blind worry. "What's wrong with the big rightists, after all, people are cultural people."

After dark, Aunt Dongxiu went to the ancient temple with a little ration she had secretly saved, and found Zhao Wenxiong fainting and dying in front of the Buddha. "Oh my God, we have to get to the hospital urgently. But who dares to touch this plague god. ”

Dark clouds were thick, lightning and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down overhead. Aunt Dong Xiu carried Zhao Wenxiong to the hospital on her back, fell down the hill, and protected Zhao Wenxiong's head in her arms. Got up covered in muddy water, endured the pain, and rushed to the commune health center. The doctor on duty recognized Zhao Wenxiong and said, "I can't see this patient, you can go to the district hospital." "Please, doctor, he's dying." "No, no, no." "Doctor, I'll get you on your knees."

……

Under the rhubarb tree, Aunt Dongxiu's mind flickered, and it immediately looked like a blank piece of paper. She was suddenly full of energy, stood up with a bang, waved a bamboo pole three or four feet long, and sang, talked and danced: "Pick up the pen and make a knife and gun...... (White) is willing to cut his whole body, dare to pull the emperor off the horse! ”

Zhao Wenxiong came out of the house with a dung bucket, and he didn't seem to see anything when he passed by, so he walked straight away. Soon, the state implemented the policy, and he was reinstated and assigned to teach at Kowloon Secondary School.
