Chapter 40: Solving Doubts Before Departure

"If even the old beggars are so bold, are we the common people in Beiman who hate the Japanese to the bone only one chance?"

These are what Xu Ruifeng said to Wen Wan after eating, when the young couple was strolling on the streets of Wafangdian, on both sides of the dust-stained snow, and on the snow, there was a thick layer of firecracker holes.

Wen Wan held her stomach with one hand and Xu Ruifeng's arm with the other, bowed her head and chuckled: "Our people are not only short of an opportunity, but also courageous. ”

She knows her man too well, and she knows that Xu Ruifeng hates these ordinary people the most on weekdays, obviously resisting Japan is for the country and the people, but they are watching when you are suffering, pointing at you when you have grievances and can't speak.

"Yes, since ancient times, it has always been Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who have revolted, and Huang Chao who has rebelled, if there are no people to lead, there will be no spark enough to start a prairie fire."

Wen Wan stretched out her hand and twisted it vigorously on Xu Ruifeng's arm, giving Lao Xu a 'hiss' and gasping, glaring at her eyes and asking, "What are you doing!" Gentle but well-reasoned response: "Let you say that you are illiterate!" ”

Xu Ruifeng smiled, the smile was called a happy one, and Wen Wan, who should have been angry, also showed a smile under the drive of the other party.

The two of them are simply a pair of enemies.

When the laughter was almost over, Xu Ruifeng asked, "At home?" ”

"Huh?"

Faced with this answer, Xu Ruifeng said thoughtfully: "Now that my realm is playing with ideals, I can almost stand on the same step, right?" ”

Wen Wan raised her head and said as if she was deliberately mocking him: "It's far behind." ”

"Nonsense."

Xu Ruifeng stepped forward, and Wen Wan chased after him: "You don't believe it? ”

"Then I'll tell you."

talked gently and eloquently, which once again opened another layer of outlook on life for Lao Xu.

She said that the 'for the country and the people' of these people is actually far-reaching, for example, you Xu Ruifeng wear this black dog skin to get something in front of the vendor If you don't give money, no one will dare to speak out, but in their place, there is a clear rule that you don't take a stitch from the people, if necessary, you must give money after asking for it, and even, if you don't have money, you have to make an IOU.

Hearing this, Xu Ruifeng asked in disbelief, "What?" ”

Then he remembered the historical allusions that the old harrier had told him, and thought that he understood, and said: "I understand, this is your strategy to consolidate your rule, just like the slogan of 'King Chuang comes and does not pay food' to let many people in the city take the initiative to open the city gates, giving people hope." ”

"It's not ......" Wen Wan still wanted to explain, but Xu Ruifeng interrupted her: "What not?" In history, I have heard a lot about the people in power arson and robbing grain, and I have never seen any emperor in the world who has not yet sat down take this thing seriously, if you want to say that this is to maintain the law and order, what is the law? The law is the way to govern the world after the world is stable, and it is the soldiers who rely on the soldiers to fight the world, and the soldiers are treacherous. ”

Gently stomped his feet and reasoned with him on the street: "Which Confucius Temple did you teach this?" What era is this, why are you still holding on to the old antiques and not letting go? ”

"Not taking a stitch from the common people is not only to describe the good to the common people, you don't know the far-reaching meaning here, in fact, this is to help the toiling masses who have just collapsed the feudal dynasty to re-establish their own complete outlook on life and values......

Xu Ruifeng glanced left and right: "What do you think?" ”

"It's to help those ordinary people understand that they are a whole person, understand?"

"Pull it down, who doesn't know he's a whole person?"

Looking at him mischievously, he had already dug a pit: "You know? ”

"Definitely."

"The king wants his ministers to die?"

"The minister had to die."

"The Father wants the Son to die?"

"The son has to die."

Wen Wan asked: "If he lets you die, you will die, if he lets you die, you will die, you tell me, where are you complete?" Is your mind controlled by him, or is it in your own hands? ”

Xu Ruifeng was speechless again, not only had he never seen these new things, but he had never even heard of them.

At night, as long as the old man pulls off the belt, he has to kneel there upright, which is called the rule.

"Besides, our resistance against Japan is not only for the people, but also for the sake of the country, for the sake of national integrity, and we have never thought about getting anything in return from anyone, so when the villagers sent aid materials, we were grateful to Dade for giving the equivalent money."

"What do you mean, I should hate the common people, even if I help them fight against Japan, I have to endure white eyes and be scolded as a traitor?"

When Wen Wan heard this, she asked very seriously, "Who are you helping to resist Japan?" ”

Xu Ruifeng suddenly felt a little unreasonable, stretched out his hand in the direction of the gendarmerie, and was about to point but retracted: "It's not to help the embroidery girl, you ......"

"You're helping yourself fight against the Japanese!"

"It's because you yourself are not happy to live in such an environment, you have to stand up against Japan, and no one forces you."

Xu Ruifeng hurriedly explained: "I'm not, I'm asking Shang Kun to give ......."

"You are Beiman's ground-sitting cannon, if you are not happy, who can force you? As long as you are unhappy, put your robe on your body, and drive a big car out of this Beiman while it is dark, where is it not fragrant and spicy to go with your ability? ”

He suddenly understood what was wrong with his unchanged ideology, and Lao Xu finally let Wen Wan explain the grievances in his heart in this second.

It turned out that hating the common people was to put the anti-Japanese matter on others, and imagined himself as the savior of everyone; Entering the Beiman Prison against his will was also a reason for his own anti-Japanese resistance, and that reason was the request of the embroidered girl.

In fact, is anyone really asking you?

If you Xu Ruifeng don't want to do it with these Japanese, on the hillside outside Beiman City, can you do it with a few grenades tied to your body before you die?

Can you hit your head against the wall?

As long as you die in the gendarmerie, your surname Xu is a legend, and no one can find fault with it.

Can the embroidery girl really control all this?

No.

"Don't talk about that."

Xu Ruifeng, who was obviously already the same, deliberately skipped this topic, Wen Wan obviously saw from his expression that all this was allowed by such a big man, and he smiled and thought, "I guess I am the only one who can see Xu Ruifeng playing tricks in this world, right?" ’。

They continued to walk forward, and Lao Xu asked unprecedentedly: "Is it cold?" I don't think you've ever made a new dress since something happened to the tailor's shop. ”

Wen Wan looked at him suspiciously, when did Da Lao Xu, who didn't even pick what she wore when she got up every morning, when did she care about her clothes?

"It's not cold, it's all over."

"Is there anything you'd like to eat? What about the sauce pig's trotters in Lao Yan's house? ”

Xu Ruifeng was about to turn a corner when he spoke, and walked towards Lao Yan's house, Wen Wan shouted without even moving her footsteps: "What's the matter with you?" Today is thirty, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty, have you ever seen a delicatessen open on this day? ”

Lao Xu turned around and smiled awkwardly, grabbing his man's little tail as if he was very familiar with Wen Wan: "You have something to do!" ”

"What do I have to do, it's just that I've finally finished the things entrusted by the embroidery girl, and I'm a little excited."

"!"

Wen Wan didn't go forward, reached out and pulled Xu Ruifeng's arm, pressed her jaw very low, and her eyes changed and said, "Go home, if you don't explain it, this matter is not over." ”

"Walk a little longer." It was the first time Xu Ruifeng had lowered his voice so lowly.

Wen Wan flatly refused: "Less nonsense." ”

Pulling Xu Ruifeng back and leaving, along the way, Lao Xu didn't say anything anymore, just looked at her stupidly, and kept watching.

Back in the small courtyard, none of the people in the courtyard left, holding two large bowls in their hands, drinking the steaming dumpling soup in one gulp. This is the habit of northeastern people, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there is a vigil, and dumplings must be eaten at night vigil.

"You've all wrapped the dumplings."

Wen Wan was very embarrassed, her host didn't help much at today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The dog leftover mother hurriedly said: "What's the cost of making a few dumplings, this room is full of people, you are not one of them, hurry up and wash your hands and eat." ”

Don't look at the women who don't serve at noon, but at this time in the evening, even women and children are on the table, asking for a reunion.

Waiting for a table of people to surround it, when the dog leftover took the two sisters to put the dumplings one by one, he looked at the master and the old harrier eagle halfway, and put the fullest plate down in front of Wen Wan: "Body, you come here, the filling is big." ”

Wen Wan was laughing, and she forgot that Xu Ruifeng was different just now, and felt that at this moment, the old beggar looked at his man's gaze a little wrong, from accusation and counting, to guilt and self-blame, and later, he didn't even dare to talk to Xu Ruifeng with his eyes...... What's going on here?

Eating dumplings in a nutshell, there was no noon atmosphere at the dinner table, no one spoke, and the sound of dishes clashing all over the table, she suddenly felt as if she was in a completely unfamiliar environment.

One, two, when Wen Wan ate the fifth dumpling, she began to feel sleepy, and then she was tired up and down, and her body involuntarily slipped down the chair, and she couldn't open her eyelids......

Syllable.

Xu Ruifeng quickly grabbed Wen Wan's neck, and the dog leftover mother next to him hurriedly dragged Wen Wan up and placed her on the chair, when Lao Xu was turning his head, the old harrier eagle immediately said: "I promise you with my life, this thing does not harm adults and children, it is just a matter of sleeping." Xu Ruifeng was relieved.

He looked at the woman in front of him gently, brushed away the slightly messy hair on her face with his hand, and finally said fiercely in his heart: "Load the car, take advantage of the city gate is not closed, and go out of the city!" ”

He had wanted to walk a few more steps on the streets of Beiman with this woman, and he had wanted to take a closer look, but time did not allow it.
