After a brief but important discussion, the three of us unanimously decided that the matter about this painting would be kept from Yuan Xiaobai for the time being.

After this fox statue, there are steps behind it, one person wide, the height can barely bow your head to pass, hovering up and down, we have no bottom in our hearts, the black ancient winter is a loss Cha Wenbin has the habit of bringing fire folds.

When I heard the sound of water running in my ears, I knew that we had come out, but I didn't expect it to be here.

A wall of waterfalls stood in front of us, I don't know how high the waterfall is, I don't know where we are now, the water outside is so fast that I can't hold it for a second when I stretch out my hand. So far, we don't really have a choice.

"Jump?" The fat man looked back at us, and there was a fiery look in his eyes that I was ready to die for the revolution at any moment.

I followed: "You jump, I will jump too." ”

Behind the fat man, I rushed out of the waterfall for the second time, only to feel that my internal organs were about to shatter the moment I fell into the water, and the huge impact made my chest feel as if it had been hit by a cement slab, and there was a separation between my ribs and muscles. When I struggled to surface from the bottom of the water, I felt good to be alive for the first time.

The three of us climbed ashore like a water dog, the sun was still a little warm in the west, and we opened our eyes to look at the waterfall in front of us with a wry smile and a little helplessness.

Everything is back to square one, and this is exactly the place where we went into the mountains to fight tigers that day, right here, our camping spot. Looking at the towering waterfall and rocks all over the ground, I have to say that life is really hard, and it is each of us.

The descent from the mountain was quite smooth, this place was a forbidden place for everyone in Savage Tun, but it was repeatedly swayed by our three hairy boys as their own vegetable garden. According to the agreement, at the entrance of the village, Yuan Xiaobai hid in the mill by the river, and the four of them met smoothly. There were people coming home from work one after another in the field, and I saw Miao Lan holding hands with a guy in the village, and her face was very red......

"Fellows, farewell!" The fat man hid in the window of the mill and waved to the people in the distance.

Cha Wenbin gnawed on the rations prepared for us by Yuan Xiaobai, looked at the ruins in the tunzi, he looked at us and said, "Are you really sure you want to leave?" ”

I said with certainty, "Let's go!" It doesn't belong to us. ”

Then he asked, "So where are we going?" This sentence left the four of us silent again.

Yes, in those days, it was very likely that we didn't even have a place to live tomorrow night when we left Tunzi. Once the people in the tunzi find out that we have escaped, they will definitely report it to the above for wanting, and it is impossible to say what hat to put on when the time comes.

The fat man said, "It's better to go anywhere than here, don't you want to go home?" ”

Who wouldn't? It's just that we escaped, and without a letter of introduction, we can't stay in a hotel, we can't buy tickets to ride, and we can be caught anytime and anywhere. This is the Northeast, two or three thousand miles away from my hometown of Zhejiang, and I don't know what fate awaits us next.

Go, this is a choice without a choice, three men and one woman, one cloth bag for each person, clothes to carry with them, and ten cold buns per person. We have a total of fifteen yuan, each of the three men took three yuan and five, and the rest was left to Yuan Xiaobai, we just want to live.

It only took one night to walk to the platform where Uncle Miao picked us up that day, we were on the run, and any wind and grass would alarm our nerves, and we knew that there were rows of militiamen with shotguns and earthen guns behind us, and several hunting dogs familiar with our smell were searching along this only mountain road in and out of Tunzi.

Railway, this is our only hope!

It is said that there is one train passing through this line every week, depending on the number of weeks. The main purpose of this train is to transport timber from the primeval forests of the Northeast out of the mountains, and occasionally to carry some guests in need, and our platform here was built when the Savage Tun was logging.

On one side of the platform is a canal, the water in the canal is half a man deep this season, and it is still quite cold in March and April in the north, and the wind blows and whirts, especially when the edge of this canal is frozen. The four of us snuggled together against the cold and panic, and the heavens may have favored us, and a train came towards us "besides, besides" for half an hour.

It's not just Lao Hong of the railway guerrillas who picks up trains, we too, the green-skinned steam engine is driving on the crooked line, and I seem to see those chasing people in the distance.

I looked out the window at the grass that had begun to turn green, closed my eyes and silently muttered, "Goodbye, goodbye." ”

Even if the train passes through Shanhaiguan and leaves the Northeast, the children of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were killed from here to the Forbidden City, and we also chose to get off here, and there will be more and more checkpoints in the future, and the greater the possibility of our exposure.

The fat man said that he planned to go back to his hometown in Sichuan, no matter what, it was always a nest, Cha Wenbin and I must go back to Zhejiang, and Xiaobai chose to go south with us, she is from Shanghai. The four of us went to the photo studio, took pictures, and left the addresses of the four of us and asked the boss to mail them over, which can be regarded as a fate. The rest of the money, the fat man went to the black market to change some food stamps, found a small noodle restaurant, this is the first time I have drunk so big, liquor, the taste is very strong, I don't know if the water in my eyes is a tear or choking bitterness.

Before leaving, Cha Wenbin told him a thousand times, if something happens, don't be impulsive, the fat man drank us and said goodbye to catch a train bound for Shaanxi, it was a coal truck, he got into the coal pile.

There are a lot of cars going south, especially in Shanghai, we have to choose trucks, who makes us black. After dark, in the cargo box of a train full of wood, the three of us and a cat huddled together, no one spoke anymore, and no one knew where the future would be.

Along the way, there are slogans of the Cultural Revolution everywhere, and you can see the red generals waving colorful flags in their hands everywhere, this year is the last madness of the Cultural Revolution, and it is also the apex they are about to reach.

For Yuan Xiaobai in Shanghai, we can't do anything, and getting off the bus here together is another separation, before leaving, after a few thoughts, I still didn't give her that pair. Perhaps, this farewell is forever, keep it, it can be regarded as a thought, the prosperity here has nothing to do with us, Cha Wenbin and I belong to the northwest of Zhejiang. Here, he and I scraped together all the money and gave it to Yuan Xiaobai, this is the city, and it is far more difficult to live than in the countryside.

From the mouth of the Huangpu River, we moved the goods for five days for free, on the condition that the person went up the river when he returned, because I knew that my hometown was the source of the Huangpu River: Xitiaoxi.

The hometown that has been away for more than half a year is in front of us, but Cha Wenbin and I are like thieves. Home, close at hand, but no one dared to return, and those with red armbands must have already received the telegram. It was night, far away, and I hid to see, the door was closed, and there was a seal on it. Cha Wenbin and I agreed to go to Lion Rock, which is the highest peak in the entire northwest of Zhejiang, which used to be a collective forest farm after liberation, with houses and water, but it has been abandoned for a long time after these years.

The days of living in Lion Rock are monotonous, from the top of the mountain here, you can see the whole Hong Village from a distance, which family's chimney is smoking, which family's women are beating their children again, and which day the village road is watching a movie in a group. Every day, we guard, guard the "home" that belongs to us, and there are signs that there are people.

In this way, we don't know what's going on in the outside world, and we don't know exactly how long we'll be hiding. Fortunately, there is no shortage of food in this forest, wild vegetables, game, and I also planted some corn. In the end, I have studied in the countryside, do it myself, and have enough food and clothing.

I remember it was a day in July, and the clouds during the day were a little black, and if you looked closely in the black, there was a little red, and the clouds were wave after wave and rippled all over the sky. At night, the night sky is bright again, and during the day, Cha Wenbin said that looking at today's celestial phenomena is a little wrong, he will look at the stars as long as there are no clouds, anyway, he is very bored, I can only play with myself.

It was a very hot night, and I couldn't sleep from the house tossing and turning, and I slept with a fan made of palm branches against the big rock beside him.

I didn't know what time it was, and suddenly he came and woke me up from my dream, and said to me: "Xiaoyi, something is going to happen." ”

Finally, I was about to fall asleep, I was sleeping soundly, and responded vaguely: "Ouch, don't worry, in our old forest, the red soldiers won't touch it." ”

"No, you get up and look." He dragged me up from the stone, then pulled me to the open ground and said to the sky: "Look at that, do you see, that star is the Emperor of the Arctic of Zhongtian Ziwei, and there have been faint signs of dimming recently. ”

In my eyes, the stars in the sky are all the same, what is the difference: "There are so many stars, how do I know which one, not everyone is like you, he has been a little god since he was a child." ”

"Look! Just that one, the one with a reddish color, you can see around it, is the one with a meteor passing by. As I spoke, a meteor happened to pass by a little north in the middle of the horizon, which happened to be my sight.

"Meteors, what's all the fuss, it's a common thing in summer."

"I counted it, and this is already the eighth, and each one has gone through the same trajectory, and I always feel as if something is going to happen tonight, or something big."

"I said Cha Ye, what time is it, it is estimated that it will be dawn in a while, if you don't sleep, I still want to sleep, you count slowly, I'll go." I went back to the big rock, and after a while I fell asleep again.

It was a foreshadowing that something was going to happen that night, and there were mosquitoes everywhere in the woods at night in the summer, but I didn't have half a mosquito when I slept shirtless outside that day. Also, that night, the forest was very lively, and all the birds did not go up the trees from the beginning of dark, and hovered in the air all night until dawn. There were also a lot of rats that usually hid when I saw people, and I killed seven of them in the kitchen alone, and the dogs in the village below the mountain barked all night
