Chapter 31: A Town Without Sunshine (1)
Liu Weijun's hoarse voice echoed through the sound generator as if he had screamed with all his strength, in this dark and empty room.
Slowly, I seemed to have adapted to his ugly voice, and as he narrated, I was immersed in it, and time passed in this moment, and suddenly, I seemed to follow Liu Weijun back to the town in 1957
That night, Liu Erye, who was called out in a hurry, went to find Lin Jianguo with everyone, he was in such a hurry that he didn't have time to look back and go out of the house together, only to know some shocking truths, and his wife with worry in his eyes naturally wouldn't notice that there was a figure quietly out of the house, looking at his father's back thoughtfully.
This figure is Liu Weijun, his parents quarreled that day, he was forcibly yelled back to the house by his father, in fact, he didn't fall asleep, as a son of man, he was more or less worried about his parents' situation, not to mention, his father wanted to avoid him abnormally, he was 16 years old at the time, almost 17 years old, how could Liu Weijun, who was already sensible and a little sensitive, not curious?
At night, he quietly got up, saw the lights in his parents' room on, and heard the sound of grunting, after all, he couldn't hide his curiosity, and walked softly to the corner and eavesdropped on his parents' conversation.
That night was also the night when Liu Weijun's three views were subverted, he was born in a brand-new China, and the education he received since he was a child is that science is the productive force of everything, in short, looking at anything from a scientific perspective is the absolute truth, in Liu Weijun's heart, anything can be explained by science, and science is greater than the sky.
But what did my father say? Specious ghosts, zombies, living corpses, inexplicable deaths, the mysterious Lin Jianguo, everything made Liu Weijun feel like he was listening to the Arabian Nights.
It was a cold late autumn, and Liu Weijun was only wearing autumn clothes and pants when he eavesdropped, but his father's words seemed to open the door to an unknown world for him, his heart was full of doubts, but he was inexplicably hot, and he couldn't even feel the cold weather, just thinking about a question repeatedly - really? Fake?
Over the years, Liu Weijun's understanding of his father made Liu Weijun feel that his father would not tell lies, but all this is too unbelievable, how can he believe it?
Gradually, the parents lost their voices and fell asleep.
But Liu Weijun, who overheard a shocking secret, returned to the room, but he couldn't sleep, and he even had an impulsive idea in his heart, should he also go to get closer to Lin Jianguo tomorrow? My father said he was a man of great ability!
Tossing and turning, Liu Weijun was the first to discover the movement of the town in the middle of the night than Liu Erye, he heard the sound of the crowd walking, and was hurrying in the direction of his home, just now after hearing his father say such a terrible thing, Liu Weijun was a little scared, and subconsciously did not dare to investigate deeply, but pulled the quilt to cover his head.
Later, the group knocked on his door, and Liu Weijun learned that it was a cadre from the timber transportation office.
He was standing by the window of his room, watching quietly, watching his father talk to one of them with an ugly face, he went back to the house to get dressed and hurriedly went out, vaguely he knew that his father was looking for Lin Jianguo, and at that moment, a thought that could not be suppressed began to fill Liu Weijun's heart, and impulsively made him unable to lie on the bed safely anymore.
Never doubt a young man's ability to act on a thing, and after his mother returned to the house, Liu Weijun hurriedly got dressed and crept out of the house.
At that time, it was already late at night, the whole town was unusually quiet, and the cold air of late autumn was constantly inhaled into his lungs with running, but this cold did not make him retreat, but kept stimulating him, making his heart more and more excited, yes, Liu Weijun had only one thought at that time, that is, to participate in his father's action.
He ran to the gate of the timber dispatch office in advance, waiting for the arrival of his father and his party.
"That's why I'm involved in this, and my brother is in a foreign land and has no idea." When telling the past, Liu Weijun was very calm, and from his tone, he couldn't feel the impulse to make a hasty decision after he knew the truth.
"Uncle Weijun, do you regret it?" As we talked, my address to Liu Weijun also became Uncle Weijun.
"What is there to regret in a person's life, you are a Taoist family, don't you understand fate? And the regret of what happened is only the mood at the time, and the thing itself cannot be changed at all. In that case, why regret it, what's more, this kind of protection is something that I am willing to do, and my father has not been able to do it, isn't it good to be a son? Liu Weijun still used his unique slow tone to talk to me about his attitude, there was nothing righteous and awe-inspiring, just an indifferent persistence.
I wonder what exactly is to be protected? But the story has just begun, and I can only continue to listen patiently.
Liu Weijun squatted at the timber dispatching office, but after less than 20 minutes, a group of people, including his father, arrived at the timber dispatching office.
At that time, there was a street lamp outside the door of the timber transfer office, I don't know why, it has not been extinguished until tonight, standing at the door, leaning against the wall, Liu Weijun saw his father's and his party's face from a distance was unusually heavy, but one of them was so different, his face was very calm, what was unforgettable was only that pair of eyes, and the eyes revealed were very complicated.
At that time, the young Liu Weijun could only read one of the flavors, called vicissitudes, yes, vicissitudes, like many vicissitudes after experience.
It wasn't until later that I realized that the look was actually a kind of sadness, and there was a kind of heaviness that carried sin. In fact, at that time, Uncle Lin already knew the fate that our town was about to face. Because he knows, he will have no fear, and he will be calm, and he will already know what he can choose. "That's what Uncle Wei said to me.
But I didn't understand, looked up at his face, couldn't see clearly behind the sunglasses, and asked very puzzledly: "Then what can he choose?" ”
Uncle Wei Jun didn't answer me directly, but pondered for a while before saying: "A dirty river pond can grow white lotus flowers, so in the most evil environment, there must be someone who will wake up, otherwise, how can human beings go from the original chaos to today?" Got it? Uncle Lin's choice at that time could only be to resist and fight. ”
Actually, I don't really understand what is going on behind the scenes, but I understand this feeling.
I think Uncle Wei Jun in front of me is actually not like a person who came out of that era and didn't read much, his words are wise and full of deep meaning, he seems to have noticed my thoughts, and said: "Over the years, I have been very lonely, so lonely that I can only read books, and many truths in books, combined with myself, there will always be many ideas, but I don't know whether it is right or wrong, but the general direction in my heart is also insisting, because it is different from ideas, I think it must be right." ”
These are just digressions outside the story, Uncle Wei and I were silent for a long time, and then the story continued.
When Liu Weijun saw Liu Erye and his party, they also saw Liu Weijun, and the first one to find Liu Weijun turned out to be Lin Jianguo, who looked very calm, calm and even a little absent-minded.
"Your guards are here." Lin Jianguo said this to Liu Erye, and then Liu Erye and the others saw Liu Weijun waiting at the timber transportation office.
Then, there was a chaotic memory, Liu Erye was furious, and everyone objected to such a half-old kid inexplicably involved in matters involving secrets.
But everything calmed down because of Lin Jianguo's words, he said: "It's all fate, that's it, since you already know, let's follow." ”
Lin Jianguo didn't give any reason when he said this, but because of his special status, what he said always had a special coercion, and his words silenced everyone, including the angry Second Master Liu.
"That day, I saw my father's eyes red, and I knew that he was worried about me, but in front of so many people, he couldn't show it too obviously, and he could only be angry. When I think about it now, I feel the skin on my legs burning because he kicked me hard that night. But he often says that he is a Taoist family, and he is naturally very receptive to Uncle Lin's sentence, this is all fate, at that moment, his eyes were red, and he realized that as a father, he was powerless against his son, so it was so painful, he didn't want this to be my life, he felt that it was not a good thing. When Uncle Wei Jun talked about this paragraph, a faint smile appeared on his face, in fact, whether it was anger or red eyes, it was from his father's warmth.
Perhaps, this is a warmth that no one can forget when they reach the age of 100.
However, what happened next was indeed not a good thing, but Liu Weijun was inevitably involved.
The change of the town began the next day, and after that day, the clear sun never appeared in the town again, and there was no sunshine in the future
