Chapter 69: Beijing in '76

It takes a little more than a day to train from Changsha to Beijing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When I arrived in Beijing, it was a little after 10 a.m.

After eight years of absence, stepping on this land again, the excitement that the three of them couldn't suppress in their hearts. But what Leng Qi and the three people didn't know was what kind of undercurrent was surging in the calm city of Beijing at the moment.

China in 76 years is the most unstable. With a piece of paper, "no black veil, no memorial, no going to Tiananmen Square, and a limit on the number of people in the rally." "All over the country is in a kind of march, repression! marches, and then repression states.

And the center of all this storm is precisely Beijing.

Because of the problem of "identity", Leng Qi, Ma Zi, and Huang Biao did not dare to return to the courtyard where they used to be, as the saying goes, they were "black" at this time.

Old alleys one after another, courtyard houses one after another. and the old locust tree sticking out of the yard.

When I left, the walls were painted everywhere, "Intellectual young people go to the countryside, go to the place where the motherland needs us!" Now it has been replaced by slogans such as "Down with Wang Zhangjiangyao*Four**People**Bang*", "Inherit the legacy of the great leader Chairman Mao, and defend the proletarian revolutionary line to the death" and cartoons with the words "One big foot tramples four villains under the soles of the feet".

People came and went on the streets, and at the same time, there were also groups of "stubborn masters" who rode bicycles with big bars and bags on their chests and whistled.

Huang Biao, who grew up in the military region, suddenly grabbed Leng Qi and Ma Zi, who were about to find a house to live in, and were hesitant. Say, there are many people on the street who don't taste right.

What was wrong, Huang Biao was stunned and couldn't say clearly, only said, "Before my Lao Tzu was taken away for review, I saw such a person at the gate of my yard!" ”

The three people on the train originally agreed to go to the overpass to have a good time and come back. was said by Huang Biao, and several people no longer wandered around, but ran away to the outskirts of Beijing.

In those days, Leng Qi and the three people once again lived a life of hiding in Tibet.

Just because, the city of Beijing in those days was very strict, and it was weird everywhere.

At the door of the courtyard, occasionally one or two women or elderly people would sit, and the few of them no longer chattered about this and that, but instead muttered to each other, not knowing what to say.

******************************************************

By the time October passed, the four people had fallen.

The whole city of Beijing seems to have removed a huge stone from its back, and at the same time, it has also eliminated the sense of depression hidden at the bottom of the city.

According to the residence left by Gu Nianluo, he got off the car at Desheng Gate, crossed the riverside alley, and after turning around, Leng Qi and the three people finally found Gu Nianluo's home.

The door of the courtyard was cleaned very cleanly, and the fallen leaves on the road were swept into a small pile and leaned against the base of the wall. The autumn wind blows, occasionally bringing up one or two pieces in circles and falling to the ground.

The whole courtyard could not hide the desolation and desertion.

The three of them stood on the side of the road at the entrance of the courtyard for a long time.

Huang Biao scratched his head and said, "Go knock!" ”

l Leng Qi said, "It's better for you to go!" ”

Ma Zi shrunk his hand, "Let's go!" ”

They knocked on the door together, and when they reached the door, no one moved.

Leng Qi quietly pushed open a crack in the door. In the neatly cleaned yard, a gray-haired man in his fifties in a gray robe was sitting on a rattan chair under a dead tree, holding reading glasses, looking at a book in his hand word by word.

A half-aged woman walked out of the hall, walked up to the person reading a book, and placed a cup of tea on the small table.

Leng Qi suddenly felt a little unbearable.

Eventually, Huang Biao knocked on the door and placed a thick stack of envelopes at the door, and when the people in the courtyard looked up blankly, the three of them fled.

A voice sounded behind him, "Who! ”

Then a woman covered her mouth and exclaimed in a trembling voice, "Old Gu, old Gu!" Come, it's a letter from a girl! ”

*****************************************************

After finishing the matter of reading the basket, the three of them walked for a long time with their heads down, and suddenly they had no intention of playing.

Leng Qi said, "I want to go back and see!" I don't know if Master is back! ”

Huang Biao punched Leng Qiyi, "Hey, after you say that, I want to go back too!" ”

Ma Zi smiled, "Then go back!" ”

The military compound where Huang Biao was located was not far from the courtyard where Leng Qi and Ma Zi had stayed before.

The yard was already very broken, the cobwebs were knotted, and the glass in the yard was no longer broken by a few bear children with slingshots.

After pausing in front of the door for a while, Leng Qi and Ma Zi patted the yellow label, "Let's go!" The two old men don't know where to be happy! Go to your house first, the most chaotic period has passed, and you may have been reinstated! ”

"If that's the case, the brothers don't have to hide in Tibet anymore! Three pieces of paper, my Lao Tzu's words! Huang Biao was very happy, laughing, but a little reluctantly.

When I walked to the compound where Huang Biao was, a few people came out of the compound pushing bicycles, looked at the three of them curiously, and sighed twice in confusion, probably because they felt familiar, but they couldn't recognize them.

Eight years have long since changed from one thing to another.

Seeing the open gate of the compound, Huang Biao happily shouted "Hey! Pulling Leng Qi and Ma Zifei rushed in.

****************************************************

Huang Biao's hand was shaking.

Ma Zi and Leng Qi's faces became more and more ugly, and they wanted to say something to comfort Biaozi, looked at the closed door with a white cloth hanging, opened their mouths, and did not say anything.

"Dad! Mother! Huang Biao was crazy, and suddenly rushed up and kicked the door open.

"Mark!" Leng Qi and Ma Zi hurriedly followed.

Inside the house, an old man in a Mao suit was sitting upright in the room, with a white cloth wrapped around his head.

Hearing the sound of kicking the door, the old man turned his head slowly on crutches.

Leng Qi and Ma Zi stood aside, silent.

"Master...... Grandfather! You're out! What about me, my dad? And what about my mom? Huang Biao grinned, a little at a loss.

"It's back! Let's go wash your face first! Changed my clothes! The old man looked at Huang Biao calmly, and then turned to look at Leng Qi and Ma Zi outside the door, "You two babies go back first!" The two old men surnamed Liu and surnamed Du should have picked up enough horse manure in Inner Mongolia! “

Leng Qi looked at the yellow label and did not speak.

"Let's go! Come tomorrow! Ma Zi's face was complicated and he sighed.

ps: It's a good chapter, I can't pass it on, so I've changed it to now! We've hit a minefield. Have a meal and go write the next chapter. Alas, time is still too tight.
